Chapter 364: Sun Xuanya is defeated
、、、、、、、、、、
Dou Jiande was angry, and then germinated to defeat Yuming on the battlefield, capture and kill this enemy who made him lose face in one fell swoop, and strive to turn the tide and successfully turn the tables.
As long as he is given a year, he believes that he will be able to integrate the various forces in Shandong and become a veritable king of Shandong, and then raise troops to compete in the Central Plains and compete with the heroes for domination of the world.
Therefore, Dou Jiande decided to take a big gamble. If he wins, he will be able to win back all the honor and status he has lost, and he can also make a lot of money. Without Yuming's Zhou army, it will be a plate of loose sand, which will be broken by him individually. He can go back to Hebei again, and then all parts of the country will surely look down on the wind to welcome his return.
But what if he loses, Dou Jiande doesn't want to think about "what should I do if I lose?" "That's the question.
Dou Jiande was surrounded by Sun Xuanya, Meng Haigong, Fan Yuan and other generals. All of them are in armor, ready to fight at any time, Dou Jiande is contemplating the teachings, and they also have their own thoughts.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance. After a while, a horse galloped to the front of the high slope, then turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said: "Qiqi King Xia, the vanguard of the Zhou army's five thousand cavalry is only five miles away from me, whether to send someone to meet the battle, please ask King Xia to decide." ”
The generals of the Xia Army looked at each other, but Dou Jiande breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Who is the commander of the vanguard army now?" ”
Tanma reported back: "The flag played by the other party seems to be surnamed Cheng!" ”、
"Surname Cheng? That ten ** is Cheng biting gold. Dou Jiande said calmly.
At this time, Sun Xuanya stepped forward and saluted: "King Xia, my subordinates want to lead the army to meet that Cheng Biting Jin." ”
He was originally Wang Bo's general, and after Wang Bo's death, he did not oppose Dou Jiande, but thought that Dou Jiande was a hero, and it was also a good choice to return to Dou Jiande.
Therefore, among Wang Bo's generals, he was the first to take refuge in Dou Jiande. Therefore, Sun Xuanya has also been respected and promoted by Dou Jiande, and her status is higher than when she was under Wang Bo before.
He fought bravely, was young and light, and wanted to make contributions in front of Dou Jiande and strive to reach a higher level. Although facing the famous Zhou Jun, he also has the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
After Dou Jiande pondered for a while, Fang Shen said, "Okay! Sun Xuanya, I order you to lead a thousand cavalry to fight with Cheng Yanjin. ”
"Huh? A thousand cavalry? Sun Xuanyarao was courageous, but he couldn't help but be stunned.
"What? Don't General Sun dare? A sly smile appeared at the corner of Dou Jiande's mouth.
Sun Xuanya was silent for a moment, but still bit it, clenched his fists and said: "King Xia has an order, and Sun will be fearless even if he knows that he will die." But...... King Xia, I heard that Yuming's cavalry are all wearing iron armor, and we only rely on a thousand cavalry, I'm afraid we can't stop Cheng Yanjin's five thousand iron cavalry. ”
Although he is brave, it does not mean that he is a reckless man who does not know the height of the sky, otherwise he would not have been promoted by Dou Jiande to be the commander of the army. After knowing that he was going to fight against the Zhou army, he also specially studied the several battles that Yu Ming commanded.
"Hehe, Xuanya, I'm not asking you to die, I just want you to lose." Dou Jiande smiled slightly and said, "You only need to bring the vanguard cavalry of the Zhou army over, and I will have other arrangements at that time." You won't be at a loss! ”
Sun Xuanya came to her senses at this time, and Fang Xuan smiled, "It turns out that King Xia wants to use a trick to lure the enemy, but I heard that Cheng Biting Jin is a big grin on the surface, but in fact, he is cunning and abnormal, what if he is not fooled?" ”
Dou Jiande said confidently: "Although Cheng Biting Jin is brave, he is impulsive. He respects his old boss Zhang Xutuo abnormally, and treats him as his biological father, if he doesn't chase him, you just need to scold him for being cowardly as a mouse, which is to disgrace Zhang Xutuo. Cheng bites the gold, but if he can't do it, he will definitely chase you! ”
Only then did Sun Xuanya understand Dou Jiande's true intentions, and Fang smiled bitterly and said, "The last general understands!" Please rest assured that King Xia will go into battle immediately. ”
He quickly ordered the thousand cavalry of his headquarters, and then ordered to go into battle. For a while, only the rumbling of hooves was heard. The water is churning. Qiantie rode on the autumn rain, rolled up a large pool of mud, and the horses' hooves rumbled to the east.
At the same time, Dou Jiande also ordered to go down. Ordered Meng Haigong to lead the heavy cavalry on the left, Fan Yuan led the light infantry to line up on the right, and ambushed them behind the hillside, while he personally led the main force to live in front of the slope, wanting to wait for the thousand cavalry to eat Cheng Biting Jin, forcing Yuming to avenge it and fight with himself here.
……
Sun Xuanya had just led the army out of less than two miles, but suddenly felt the earth tremble. Originally, he led a thousand iron horsemen to gallop forward, and the sound of hooves was not small, but he did not expect that just as he was running wildly, a large number of cavalry suddenly came out of the oblique spurs, murderous, all holding bright swords, shouting loudly, almost making the sky change color.
These cavalry of the Zhou army were indeed faster, more morale, and more fierce than the cavalry of the Xia army. And the sudden killing from the oblique stab is really unexpected. This is because they rode Arabian horses of good breeds.
Sun Xuanya could only secretly scold in his heart that the intelligence of the horse was inaccurate, he had reported that the enemy cavalry was ten miles away from his side, but he only came out two miles and encountered it, even if the other party was a cavalry in full charge, it was impossible to arrive so quickly. What's more, these cavalry of the Zhou army had obviously just accelerated their charge, and the horses were all in good spirits, and they didn't even have a panting.
But it was useless to complain, Sun Xuanya raised her head and visually measured the number of enemies, feeling similar to the already side, there were only 1,000 cavalry.
"Strange? Isn't it Cheng Bitingjin's troops? Sun Xuanya couldn't help but hesitate slightly. Because before he set off before, the horse scout reported that Cheng Yanjin led 5,000 cavalry to rush over. But the enemy cavalry in front of him was obviously only about a thousand.
It's just that after a moment of hesitation, the cavalry of the two sides is already quite close, and they can clearly see each other's flags.
And at this moment, his lieutenant suddenly shouted: "General Sun, it's not good!" This is Yuming himself coming! It's not Cheng Biting Gold at all! Look at the banner in front, but Yuming's! ”
The adjutant general's words immediately caused an uproar in Xia Jun's ranks. After all, Yuming's fame is great. Yang Guang poured the troops of the whole country and conquered Goryeo, which could not be destroyed in Liaodong, so that he led tens of thousands of troops to be destroyed. And buy one get two free, by the way, destroyed the two countries of Silla and Je, which were on a par with Goryeo. Therefore, some people have long described Yu Ming as the first general of the Great Sui. The officers and soldiers of the Xia Army have long been afraid of Yuming.
"Yuming is here...... How could he be in danger with only a thousand cavalry? There must be a follow-up team! ”
"Yes! After all, he is the dignified King of Zhou, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest candidate now! ”
"That's right! Let's stay out of the edge for the time being and join up with the team! ”
The cavalry of the Qianxia Army immediately talked about it.
At this time, Sun Xuanya could already see clearly that on the banner played by the other party, there were indeed two big Chinese characters written on them, which were "Yu".
He was also awe-inspiring in his heart at the moment, secretly thinking that Yu Ming was the king of Zhou and the commander of the first army. How can you still run to the front and be a pioneer? Even if he dared to be so bold, would his subordinates allow him to risk his life like this? Could it be that there is fraud in this? Is someone playing the banner of Yuming?
But just as his thoughts arose, the opponent's ironclad cavalry had already rushed over.
I saw that these cavalrymen were all tall horses, and they were all holding scimitars with cold and shining lights. Their murderous intent made the sky change color.
What a fast horse, such a brave cavalry! Many officers in the cavalry of the Xia Army had experienced the battle of the Liaodong Army's southern expedition to Hebei a few months ago. At that time, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry came like a torrent of steel, and the scene that swept everything seemed to be repeated in their minds.
The panic filled the whole army, and they saw how similar the iron-blooded division of the Zhou army in front of them was really similar to the ironclad cavalry of the Liaodong Army a few months ago. It's all the same tough, the same sharp. They seemed to bring nothing but slaughter and death, and in the eyes of these officers, Yu Ming and the ironclad cavalry he led were almost a symbol of invincible victory.
The cavalry of the Xia army was not mentally prepared to engage Yuming head-on. And now that he suddenly encountered, Sun Xuanya hesitated for a moment, and failed to take effective measures to calm his subordinates and line up to meet the enemy.
Suddenly, there was some panic in their hearts, and before the enemy cavalry could rush over, some of the officers began to turn their horses and run back and forth.
When the narrow meets, the brave wins. The two armies suddenly encountered, and the commanding officer of one side was in a mess, so what was the return?
The cavalry of the Xia army only cared about fleeing for their lives, and they couldn't afford to return to fight at all, but the iron cavalry of the Zhou army beat the water dogs, and mercilessly covered up, while releasing arrows, while raising the scimitar to slash and kill, in an instant the screams on the wilderness, the neighing of horses, the sound of corpses falling to the ground, and the sound of weapons colliding, resounded, and the Xia cavalry suddenly collapsed.
Although the purpose of Sun Xuanya's trip was to deceive the Zhou army into the encirclement. But he didn't expect that his fraud this time turned out to be a real defeat. And it was defeated so quickly, so completely.
He also felt a little chill in his heart, the courage of the newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers had been thrown away from the clouds. He finally understood why Dou Jiande had 20,000 more troops than Yu Ming, but he didn't dare to fight easily.
Yu Ming, what a terrifying enemy! Sun Xuanya thought secretly in her heart.
At this time, the cavalry of the Xia army was desperately fleeing in front, while the ironclad elite cavalry of the Zhou army was in hot pursuit. One of them was armed with a cyan spear and rode a tall horse, his helmet covering his forehead, making it impossible to see his face for a while. However, judging from the outfit, it is very similar to Yuming.
Sun Xuanya attacked quickly, but she lost faster, and the previous strategy of luring the enemy was gone, anyway, it was already a real defeat. He quickly led his men and horses and ran back to where they had set out.
