When Liu Yan and Fan Jian's troops had just left Weihu Mountain, there were only 3,000 horsemen, but after a month of wandering, the entire team expanded to 5,000 people. The number of people has increased, but the combat effectiveness has not risen, but has shown a downward trend. This is also one of the reasons why Fan Jian must enter the epidemic area to find these Tang troops after hearing that there are still remnants of the Tang Army resistance in the so-called plague area. He needs determined warriors to assist him in controlling this army.

The addition of Cui Dalang and others has become Fan Jian's powerful helper.

After the 5,000 cavalry was reorganized, it was divided into five teams, Liu Yan and Fan Jian each led a team, Xiao Jing led a team, Cui Dalang led a team, and Qu Jie, another surviving resistor of Wubao, led a team.

The addition of these soldiers who survived the bloody battle with the Liao army has indeed greatly improved the spirit of this army. While fighting, purging and training, although it has not been for a long time, this mixed cavalry team of strange origins now has some appearance.

It's a great form.

According to the time estimate, the Tang army should have begun to enter Liaodong on a large scale from Goryeo, during this time the intensity of encirclement and suppression they suffered suddenly and greatly weakened, leaving them bigger and bigger, more and more, there must be a big problem in Liaodong, they are deploying a large number of troops to stick to the key points in various places, for their branch of the army has no clear strategic purpose at all, it is really not solid.

If they can entangle the elite cavalry team from Liaowangcheng, which is the biggest threat to them, it will be of great help to the large army to capture Liaowangcheng.

However, what Fan Jian didn't expect was that he was playing the other party's idea, and the other party was also thinking about how to calculate him.

Not long after Zhang Mian withdrew his troops, he knew that the team that had been driven around by him was sticking up like a fart. If this team can't be provoked, he really won't be in the mood to bother with them anymore. The appearance of the Tang army from the direction of Goryeo and the launch of a large-scale attack on Liaodong showed that Zhang Chengyou had suffered a crushing defeat, and in the precarious situation of the Liaowang City, a wandering cavalry team could no longer attract his attention.

But the other party is not reluctant, which is unbearable.

A simple trap was quickly laid out. I couldn't take you when you fled, and now you want to embellish me, is there no way to clean you up?

The army that Zhang Zhongwu left to guard the lair was naturally not so easy to get along with. And Liu Yan and Fan Jian were indeed careless, they didn't expect Zhang Mian to kill a horse gun in such a situation.

The first to bear the brunt was Xiao Jing's department, which acted as the vanguard of the army.

This team, which is composed entirely of fancai, has unsatisfactory cohesion, and in a good situation, no one wants to fall before the dawn of victory, and a thousand cavalry were rushed by Zhang Mian with the same force, and they were immediately chaotic. Especially when Xiao Jing and Zhang Mian faced off head-to-head, after three or five rounds of being picked off by the opponent with a shot and flying his helmet, and even missing a large piece of his scalp, this guy even ran away.

He doesn't want to die, he still has a clan to take care of!

As soon as he fled, Zhang Mian immediately chased after his ass and killed him, while at the same time, the other two Liao cavalry also killed him from the left and right flanks, enveloping the other teams that were preparing to rescue them.

The side with a smaller number of people unscrupulously launched an encirclement and annihilation operation against the side with a larger number of people.

It may sound unlikely, but the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides has made this kind of thing happen in reality.

Liu Yan and Fan Jiansuo, who had the strongest combat effectiveness, were scattered by Xiao Jing's defeated army from the beginning, and most of the teams led by Cui Dalang and Qu Jie joined later, and their combat effectiveness was even more worrying.

As soon as the two sides engaged, the Tang army immediately fell into a complete passivity.

Zhang Mian aimed at Liu Yan, and constantly mobilized the cavalry to launch an attack on Liu Yan's Fan Jian Department who was trapped in the middle, battlefield scheduling, the ability of soldiers to carry out orders, at this moment the gap between the two sides was revealed, under the interspersed blows of the Liao cavalry, more than 5,000 Tang cavalry, was cut to pieces, obviously there were more people, but in every place where they fought, the Liao army always occupied an absolute advantage.

Cui Dalang's subordinates were already fighting on their own at the moment, and what annoyed him even more was that a considerable number of people, as soon as they saw that the mood was not good, actually ran away from the horse. If this is in the real Tang Army, such a soldier, even if he escapes his life on the battlefield, after he returns, he will not be able to escape the military law.

But how many days have these people joined the Tang Army? It would be too harsh to use the standards of the Tang Army after strict training to demand them.

Fan Dalang blew the whistle vigorously, and dozens of people gradually gathered around him. Most of these people were survivors of the fort.

"Rush out, rush out first, and then organize people to fight back!" Cui Dalang glanced at the center of the fiercest battle, where Liu Yan and Fan Jian were struggling to support. But even if it is the core force of Weihu Mountain, it is still at an absolute disadvantage against this Liao army.

Wielding the horizontal knife in his hand, Cui Dalang rode forward to kill.

A Liao general greeted him with a cruel smile, the spear was like a poisonous dragon out of the sea, smashing Cui Dalang's chest and abdomen, Cui Dalang had a horizontal knife, his arm shook violently, and he almost couldn't hold the horizontal knife.

There was a sharp pain in his chest, and a fishy sweetness welled up in his throat, Cui Dalang didn't care about anything else, suddenly reached out and grabbed the opponent's spear.

The opponent laughed and shook his hand to draw the gun, Cui Dalang could hold it, but he didn't want to let go, and his upper body was dragged forward.

At this moment, the opponent's smile suddenly calmed.

Because a black shadow rushed out from Cui Dalang's back, the two hind legs stepped on Cui Dalang's back, and rushed forward with lightning speed.

It's actually a dog.

This Liao general never thought that his opponent actually hid a dog behind his back.

The big dog swept at him, and with a whoop, the sharp fangs bit down on the neck of the general. The big mouth closed hard, and the blood was suddenly marked.

General Liao screamed, abandoned the spear with both hands, and threw a backhand punch at the big dog, the big dog was beaten and flew up, but his mouth did not let go at all, and he still bit the other party's neck.

Cui Dalang seized this opportunity and slashed with a knife, completely cutting down the Liao general.

"Big Black!" He screamed, and Da Hei, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly jumped up, Cui Da Wolf stretched out his hand to catch him and put him on the saddle, Da Hei curled up in Cui Dalang's arms, whimpering and screaming, just a punch from the Liao general, I was afraid that Da Hei would be injured.

"Kill!" In the flash of light, with the help of Da Hei, he killed the Liao general who was blocking the way, but Cui Dalang and his party were greatly boosted, and they actually let them rush out from the flank.

After galloping forward for some distance, the big wolf stopped, reined in his horse, stood still, and vigorously blew the assembled whistle.

At the same time, on the other side, Qu Jie was doing the same thing.

These two teams on the flanks finally rushed out, and at this moment they wanted to gather people and horses to return to rescue their main general.

More than 100 people finally gathered around him, and Cui Dalang was about to lead the crowd to charge, but suddenly felt something, turned his head suddenly, and looked in the northeast direction.

At the end of the eye field, a black line appeared, and then quickly approached in their direction, a large wave of cavalry!

Cui Dalang screamed bitterly!

Does the Liao army still have reinforcements? Now they are already struggling to support their lives, and if there is another wave, they will die ironclad and have no place to bury.

The ground shook slightly, then the movement became louder and louder, and there were more and more cavalry in the distance.

"Our flag!" A Tang soldier suddenly shouted in surprise.

Among the galloping cavalry in the distance, several Tang Army flags were flying in the wind.

Cui Dalang was ecstatic for a while, and blew the copper whistle in his mouth vigorously.

It is the reinforcement of Datang.

So what are you waiting for? Of course, he rushed up and pestered Zhang Mian to death, and waited for the reinforcements to come, so that the Liao army could wrap dumplings at once and swallow them all in one bite.

Zhang Mian never expected that the praying mantis would catch cicadas, but the yellow finch was behind. Seeing that Liu Yan's plan was a great success, he capsized at the last moment.

But at this moment, it is impossible for him to get out.

For Yeluyuan, it was a bonus. He was ordered by Wanfu to drive in the direction of Pingzhou, and at the same time contacted Liu Yan's department and joined with it, he went directly to Jinzhou, taking advantage of the emptiness of Jinzhou to take this important stronghold, and cut off the retreat of the Liao army, but he did not expect to encounter this battle halfway.

After the scouts figured out the origin of the two warring parties, Ye Luyuan could only say that there was nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get there.

Poor Zhang Mian's department was wrapped in dumplings from outside by Yeluyuan. The cavalry led by Yeluyuan was not a rabble like Liu Yan led. Among them, 3,000 are the Khitan cavalry that Yelu Yuan relied on to survive, and the other 2,000 are the cavalry of the right leading army of the Tang Dynasty, all of whom are brave and good at fighting.

After a vicious battle, of the 3,000 Liao cavalry, only a very few Liao cavalry escaped, but the rest all fell on the snowfield. Everywhere there were ownerless horses neighing and wailing.

"Thank you, General Yeru!" Liu Yan and Fan Jian were a little ashamed, today they were able to turn defeat into victory, it can only be said that they are extremely lucky, if Ye Luyuan arrives that day late, or takes another road halfway, they are afraid that they will die here today.
