695,Battle of the Daimyo's Mansion (11)
Song Yan looked back again in extreme shock, and this time she finally saw Zheng Fei rushing to the front at a glance!
Suddenly, Song Yan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't believe everything in front of her, but looking at the resolute face that she had been thinking about for a long time, a heartfelt surprise immediately surged into Song Yan's heart, it was him, it was really him! He came, for himself! Just now when she passed the border, she secretly cried and silently said goodbye to him in her heart, even if she understood that it was impossible, but she still prayed that she could have the opportunity to see him again before she died, but she never thought that prayer would really work.
In an instant, all of Song Yan's psychological defenses collapsed, she finally understood that she was doing something stupid, she cried with joy, waved her hand at Zheng Fei with tears, and wanted to shout, but her throat was tight and she couldn't make a sound at all, but at this moment, she saw Zheng Fei shouting again, "Come back!" ”
Song Yan reacted at this time, turned her head and began to tighten the reins to prepare for the horse to stop, and at the same time secretly made up her mind in her heart that no matter what happened, no matter how humble she was in the future, she would never want to leave him again, even if it was just to be the most inconspicuous slave, it would be best if she could be by his side and see him from time to time!
But the moment she turned her head to look ahead, she saw that less than a hundred steps in front of her, hundreds of Song soldiers were rushing towards her, and she could almost see the hideous expressions on their faces!
Song Yan's face changed greatly, she panicked in her heart, and in a panic, her hand holding the reins unconsciously increased a lot of strength, and the mount under her neighed under the severe pain, although it really stopped, but the two front hooves rose into the air, and before Song Yan could react, she was overturned from her back by the mount and fell to the ground!
This situation was all witnessed by Zheng Fei behind him, Zheng Fei was shocked, at this time he was still a hundred steps away from Song Yan, but those Song soldiers were less than seventy or eighty steps away from Song Yan, if those Song soldiers rushed to the place where Song Yan fell first, he was afraid of ......!
Zheng Fei gritted his teeth and drove his mount at full speed towards Song Yan, who was lying on the ground in an unknown situation, and Pang Wanchun and more than two hundred horsemen also drew their weapons and rushed forward with shouts.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
These Song soldiers who rushed out of the Song army's position in front were indeed alarmed by the sentry just now. The horn was attracted, and they were all shocked when they heard the horn on the wall of Nanle City just now, thinking that the Heavenly Dao Army, which had stopped attacking for more than ten days, was about to attack again, but when they looked into the distance, they actually saw that there were only more than two hundred horsemen rushing over.
This time, the Song army did not come to the Northwest Army, because a part of the Northwest Army was left to continue to stay in the northwest, so Zhao Huan also sent part of the Beijing Forbidden Army and the Hebei Forbidden Army to join it, which formed an army of 300,000. The Song army stationed here was one of the forbidden armies of the Beijing Division.
For example, the three forbidden armies today, the Northwest Army and the Hebei Army have all been defeated by the Heavenly Dao Army, but the Jingshi Forbidden Army has not yet had any fight with the Heavenly Dao Army.
In all dynasties, anyone who is in the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there will be an inexplicable sense of pride and superiority, even if it is a laborer in the capital, he dares to look down on those who are big in other places, and the same is true of the Beijing Forbidden Army.
The Beijing Forbidden Army never felt how powerful the Northwest Army and the Hebei Army were, no matter how powerful they were, they were a group of hillbillies on the border, how could they compare to being in the Beijing Division, shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the emperor, and being a dignified soldier of the Son of Heaven!
This inexplicable sense of pride also made them despise the Northwest Army and the Hebei Army, which had been defeated by the Tiandao Army, and always felt that they would be able to succeed in defeating the enemy, killing the thieves, and justifying the name of the Beijing Forbidden Army!
This is the mentality of many of the generals of this army.
But when they came to the battlefield with great ambitions, the thieves were obviously in front of them, but the marshal Zheng Xiunian just didn't order an attack, he had to wait for the Liao army, and he missed the good opportunity of the previous lack of thieves' troops.
Later, the thieves took the initiative to attack, but Zheng Xiunian still ordered the army to retreat to the city and not to face the battle.
This kind of behavior of growing the morale of others and destroying his own prestige can make the entire Song army, especially the many generals of the Beijing Forbidden Army, angry, but Zheng Xiunian is in a high position, and behind him is the minister Zheng Juzhong, no one dares to refute him, everyone is helpless about this, they can only hold their stomachs, and they only hate that they can't show their might.
Just now they saw that there were only two or three hundred thieves and cavalry in the city, but they felt that they had found an opportunity, and they all couldn't help but want to go out of the city to fight, if in the past, they didn't dare to do this even if they thought about it anymore, and the set of military orders outside the country was never recognized by the Zhao Song Dynasty, whoever dared to violate the order was a violation of military law, and they were severely punished, but today it was a coincidence, they really had a chance, it turned out that the entire Tiandao Army, including Zheng Fei, didn't know, in fact, there was a big man in Nanle City today, This big man is none other than Zheng Xiunian, the left-behind envoy in Tokyo, the envoy of Xuanfu, and the coach of the Song Army!
How did he come here?
Objectively speaking, Zheng Xiunian is not a mediocre person who does not learn and has no skills, although he relied on his father Zheng Juzhong to sit in his current position, but Zheng Juzhong's godson is rigorous and attentive, and he has found famous teachers and professors in the capital for his two sons, Zheng Xiunian and Zheng Yinian are also quite hardworking, they study very seriously, they can write good articles, and they are relatively low-key and decent, and they are not contaminated with too many bad habits of arrogance and extravagance and evil deeds of many children of the family, in general, the reputation of the brothers in the capital is not bad.
This time, Zheng Xiunian learned the lessons of Gao Yu, Tong Guan, Zhao Kai and others who were defeated by the Tiandao Army successively, although he was only a scholar, but he was also familiar with the art of war, and the arrangement of the Song Army was also in place, especially in order to prevent the Song Army from being passive and slack, he would quietly come to a position on the front line from time to time to check it, the reason why it was quiet, one is not to give his subordinates time to cheat and deal with things to prepare, and the other is that he is afraid that the news will leak and attract thieves, and today, he happened to come to Nanle City.
Zheng Xiunian stayed in Nanle City for most of the day, and generally the results of the inspection were quite satisfactory, in the end, it was the Beijing Division Forbidden Army, the morale was high, and the equipment was also superior in the entire army, and he was about to go back when he heard the horn of the early warning, Zheng Xiunian was shocked, and his first reaction was that the news of his coming here had leaked, and the thieves were going to arrest him! In the end, he is just a scholar who has never fought, he is very timid, especially afraid of death, so scared that he wants to flee back to the rear quickly, but it didn't take long to see a group of guards of Nanle City asking for their lives, saying that there are two or three hundred cavalry thieves outside the city, which is clearly the thieves in this way to despise us, provoking us, is it tolerable or unbearable, and if you endure it any longer, the morale of the soldiers will be exhausted, and everyone asks for orders to go out of the city to kill these two or three hundred cavalry.
Zheng Xiunian was relieved when he heard that only two or three hundred horses came, and then looked at the eager eyes of the generals, he thought about it, and felt that he really couldn't retreat anymore, affecting morale and causing his subordinates to be dissatisfied with themselves, not to mention, he had been here for so long but he hadn't fought a battle, and it was not good to hear it when it reached the imperial court, since only two or three hundred horses came, it was nothing to fear, let the generals have a good time, and when they killed these two or three hundred thieves, they would report to the court that they had killed two thousand enemies!
In this way, Zheng Xiunian gave the first battle order for the first time since he led an army of 300,000 to the battlefield for almost a month.
The generals were overjoyed, and immediately led hundreds of cavalry and thousands of infantry out of Nanle City, and wanted to take Zheng Fei and other two hundred cavalry to sacrifice the flag.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Song Yan slowly opened her eyes, only to feel that her whole body was in great pain, and her brain was still spinning, but she had not forgotten the danger now, she tried to look up to the west, only to feel like falling into an ice cellar, and the cavalry of the Song army was less than thirty or forty steps away from her!
Song Yan immediately struggled to stand up, and was just about to run in the direction of Zheng Fei, but a sharp pain came from her leg suddenly, and she trembled in pain, thinking that she had just broken her leg when she fell from the horse.
But now she can't care about the pain, she gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain and limped towards Zheng Fei, looking at Zheng Fei's desperate way to this side, her heart was both moved and regretful, blaming herself for not wanting to take this stupid road, and even risking him with his life, even if he died today, it doesn't matter, but if he also hurts him, he will regret his death!
Although Song Yan was trying to walk, Zheng Fei was also trying to run this way, but in the end, Song Jun was closer to Song Yan, Zheng Fei saw that Song Jun was about to catch up with Song Yan, and several people had already raised their swords in their hands, which made him anxious!
I can't control so much now, I can only take risks in chess!
Zheng Fei roared, "Bow! ”
Dozens of soldiers with black lacquer bows behind him immediately untied their black lacquer bows and mounted arrows.
"Put!" Zheng Fei gave an order!
Whoosh ......!
Dozens of arrows whistled out of the longbow, rushed straight forward, and went straight towards the Song soldiers, in order to shoot the Song soldiers who were directly behind Song Yan and the closest to Song Yan, a few arrows almost flew past Song Yan's body!
Song Yan didn't hide in fear, she believed that he wouldn't hurt herself, and even if he could, she would be content to die at his hands.
The advantage of each of the independent army being marksmen was suddenly revealed, and dozens of arrows almost missed fire, all of them hit the cavalry of the Song army, and suddenly twenty or thirty Song soldiers who rushed to the front fell from their horses!
The rest of the Song soldiers were shocked, they either hurriedly stopped their horses or dodged to the side, and there were few of the hundreds of horsemen who had the ability to untie their bows and shoot arrows to counterattack, which won Zheng Fei precious time, he finally rushed to Song Yan's side, only to see that his horse did not stop, his legs clamped the saddle hard, and his body sank to the side, and his powerful arms suddenly lifted Song Yan from the ground and put him on the saddle in front of him!
The sweetheart rescued herself in this way, Song Yan was really happy and was about to faint, she snuggled tightly in Zheng Fei's arms, she couldn't feel the pain in her legs, and she didn't want to care about everything in the outside world anymore, she just hoped that time could stop forever at this moment.
Zheng Fei couldn't be idle, while he rescued Song Yan, he inevitably rushed into the Song soldiers with people and horses, looking at the Song soldiers in front of him, he didn't hesitate, and ordered loudly, "Kill!" ”
After that, Zheng Fei held Song Yan in one hand, and pulled out his waist knife again with the other, like a fierce beast rushing towards Song Bing!
Pang Wanchun and the others were even more timid when they saw this, and they all shouted like a group of fierce beasts and rushed forward to kill the beast king!
The cavalry of the Song army looked stupid, they had more than 500 horses, and the other party had less than 300 horses, how could they look like there were more people on the other side?
No one told them the answer, only Zheng Fei and the Independence Army went straight to the door with a deadly slash!
The two sides are close to each other, and it will be clear which is stronger and which is weaker in an instant.
The slaughter begins!
