The cold autumn wind is blowing, the yellow sand is flying all over the sky, and the handsome red flag is fluttering in the wind.

Outside the Kaiyan Pass, Yang Ruiyun stepped on the first battlefield in his life. Although he was born into a military family, Yang Yan rarely brought him to the battlefield, and since large-scale wars rarely broke out on the border of the Song Kingdom for decades, Yang Ruiyun never faced a real war.

Although the wars depicted in the war books were thrilling, they were always on paper and lacked some reality. Only when you really stand on this battlefield can you feel the tense and gloomy atmosphere.

"Young master, why don't I be a pioneer later. Looking at Yang Ruiyun's tense face due to nervousness, as well as his hands with green tendons, Yang Hu was a little worried.

Yang Ruiyun took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time." ”

Yang Hu was still a little worried, and reminded again: "Young master, remember to be calm at all times. Whoever falls, don't look back. Lives can be lost at every moment on the battlefield. ”

"Understood. ”

Kaiyan Pass was at the forefront of the Tang Kingdom and Mongolia. After receiving a large number of reinforcements, Xue Rengui, the already dominant general, directly launched a counterattack, and the army drove directly to the open space in front of the Mongolian military camp.

The Mongols, who were originally the attackers, were beaten to the doorstep by the Tang army at this time, and the steppe people, who were wild and free by nature, could not stand this anger. Immediately gathered a large army and met the Tang army.

"Xue Rengui, I didn't expect you to be so kind, I thought you would just hide in the city as a shrinking turtle. Huluner laughed loudly.

However, Xue Rengui, as the general of the Tang Kingdom, will not be affected by this provocation. He just stood silently on a high place and observed the changes in the formation of the Mongolian army.

Seeing that the other party did not react, the commander of the Mongolian army did not say anything more. Looking at the surrounding open terrain, Huluner laughed silently in his heart, both sides of the first battle will not easily dispatch military formations, and as an ordinary military formation, the Mongolian cavalry also has a great advantage, as a nomadic people who have lived on horseback since childhood, the Mongols are almost all soldiers, both in quantity and quality, much stronger than the inland peoples.

And this empty field is almost the home of the Mongols. Although I don't know what Xue Rengui is calculating, judging from the current situation, the scene of a massacre has appeared in front of Huerlun's eyes.

With the order of the forwards on both sides, the two armies that had been gathering momentum for a long time rushed forward. For a while, all kinds of martial arts flashed brightly, and the battlefield instantly became chaotic.

One of the white cavalry units was so conspicuous, both in its silver glittering armor and its neat and powerful strength. Although Yang Ruiyun and the recruits from Beitongguan were on the battlefield for the first time, many of the rest behind them were veterans who had followed Yang Hu in the chaotic land, and under their protection and guidance, the recruits gradually adapted to the rhythm of the battlefield.

A shot stabbed out, and a martial arts master was directly pierced through the chest by Yang Ruiyun's silver spear. And Yang Ruiyun did not hesitate at all, turned around and continued to fight.

After seeing Yang Ruiyun's decisiveness, Yang Hu in the back couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the strength of the Yang family's bloodline. In the history of the Song Kingdom, every descendant of the Yang family was a natural warrior, they were not only strong in martial arts, but more importantly, the soldiers of the Yang family had an inexplicable intuition about the battlefield.

When an ordinary soldier goes to the battlefield for the first time, it is good to be able to exert half of his strength, coupled with the tense and rapid changes in the situation on the battlefield, many ordinary warriors are trying their best to kill an enemy, and then take a breath, only to be speared through their chests in the next second. There is no sympathy, no hesitation on the battlefield, and only the soldiers who have survived countless bloody battles will understand what a real battlefield is.

And the Yang family does not need this real blood experience to temper, when they set foot on the battlefield, they are like a veteran who has been fighting for several years, calm and composed, resolute and tenacious. Yang Ruiyun also perfectly inherited this talent of the Yang family.

Putting away the gun and picking it back, Yang Ruiyun knocked down another Mongolian soldier who wanted to sneak attack him. From the initial nervousness to the current ease, Yang Ruiyun didn't feel much, he just felt that his blood was boiling, but it wasn't that he was excited about the killing. This is a soldier's desire for the battlefield, just like the world's famous generals such as the overlord Xiang Yu.

"Kill!" Before a Tang soldier could finish shouting, he was killed by a scimitar.

In order not to expose his strength early, Yang Ruiyun did not use the military formation of the silver lancers, but as a real military array, even if the silver lancers did not carry out military condensation, the strength was also pole-barred, and it was not at all false to the undisciplined Mongolian army opposite. I saw that the silver-white constant shuttle on the battlefield, and no one could stop the pace of their slaughter.

"Where did that silver-white armor come from? Xue Rengui, who was standing on a high place, was attracted by this force that suddenly appeared.

In fact, most of the troops below who participated in the first counterattack were soldiers from all over the country in the name of the Western Expedition. They say it sounds good, this is a volunteer who gathers the strength of the whole country to resist foreign enemies. To put it mildly, this group of soldiers was a rabble in Xue Rengui's eyes, with no organization and discipline, and some of them were dragged to the battlefield without even killing anyone. However, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and Xue Rengui can't say anything, so he can only arrange this group of chicks into his own army, but the experience is definitely indispensable, this first battle is the first test for them, and only those who survive can really take on the arduous task of the Western Expedition.

In Xue Rengui's expectation, this battle would inevitably lose more and win less, but in order to let this group of recruits see what it means to fight, he had to do this. Of course, in order to ensure that there would not be too many casualties and let this group of rookies all die in the first battle, he also prepared a lot of follow-ups. It's just that Yang Ruiyun's silver lancers far exceeded his expectations, and he secretly compared them in his heart, maybe his army may not be as good as this white cavalry.

The adjutant general in the back opened a roster and looked carefully for a while before replying: "General Yu, this army is from the garrison of Beitong Pass, and the leading general is named Yang Ruiyun." ”

Touching the beard with a sparse chin, Xue Rengui was puzzled: "Beitongguan?

"Have you forgotten, the general forgot, it is the town guard of the grandson of the medicine saint who was named the general of Zhenbei some time ago. Weren't you still interested in this young sage? ”

Hearing what the adjutant general said, Xue Rengui remembered this person, and immediately said: "It seems that this Zhenbei general is really not simple, after waiting for the army to be collected, I want to meet the young general with a silver gun." ”

"Yes, is the general going to collect the army?"

"Yes, now it's time to be tempted, it's tempted, it's time to polish, it's been polished. There is no need to fight any more pointless battles. After speaking, he stared at the military camp of the Mongolian army in the distance, and said with a slight smile: "Next time, it will not be such a simple battle." ”

When Xue Rengui disappeared, a drum of the army came. What followed was the defenders of the original Kaiyan Pass, as the army personally trained by Xue Rengui. Although they are not military formations, compared to the group of troops on the battlefield that were put together temporarily, they are definitely well-trained and powerful elite soldiers.

Under the cover of the defenders of Kaiyan Pass, the original Tang army retreated to Kaiyan Pass peacefully. Seeing that all the Tang troops were retreating, Huluner also waved his hand and ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Although he was very unconvinced, as a general of a country, he still knew the truth of the poor and not chasing. Moreover, this sudden battle also made him realize that the number of troops in the Tang Army had increased, and although they were all a group of recruits, he had to mention the spirit of twelve.

Mongolia originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos on the mainland to settle in the Central Plains and get a piece of the pie. It's just that Tang Jun's attitude is not friendly, and it is clear that he wants to fight to the end, and he will definitely not let them enter the customs. It's just that Mongolia has been preparing for this opportunity for a long time, and it will not give up easily.

Kaiyan Pass, the new military camp.

A non-commissioned officer walked up to Yang Ruiyun and the others who were resting, and said politely: "But General Yang of Beitongguan." ”

Yang Ruiyun nodded in acquiescence and didn't say anything.

"Just now, General Xue saw Your Excellency's courage and good fighting, and he liked it very much, so he specially ordered me to invite Your Excellency to the mansion to see you. ”

"Now?" Yang Ruiyun didn't expect General Xue to notice his group so early. I can't help but feel a little nervous.

"That's right, let's go as soon as possible, don't keep the general waiting. The non-commissioned officer affirmed.

After a brief eye contact with Yang Hu, Yang Ruiyun finally got up and said, "Okay, I'll go." Although I don't know what Xue Rengui wants to do, but now Yang Ruiyun can only bite the bullet.

Just after a battle, the barracks were in chaos, the ground was full of wounded soldiers, and all kinds of voices filled the barracks. Some weep after losing their comrades, others cry out from the pain of their wounds, and others sit silently on the ground, not knowing what they are thinking. Yang Ruiyun looked at them, not knowing what to say, but feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But the non-commissioned officer had already seen it, and said lightly: "It seems that there is really a group of recruits stuffed into us." ”

"For them, the war is really a bit cruel. ”

The non-commissioned officer nodded and said: "That's right, the orders from above are sent to various cities, although not all cities have defenders, but most of the defenders live a quiet and enjoyable life, and have no combat experience at all." ”

The two chatted briefly, then walked through the barracks and came to the City Lord's Mansion.

The non-commissioned officer took him to a courtyard in the back and turned away. Just when Yang Ruiyun was puzzled, a white-robed general walked out of the room, although it was the first time they met, Yang Ruiyun still recognized this person at a glance as the contemporary general of the Tang State - Xue Rengui.
