A flash of lightning split the rainy night, and in a flash of white light, Yang Chengfu found the officers and soldiers not far away. The rain splashed on his face, almost making him unable to open his eyes. The wind was raging in his ears, accompanied by the sound of the horses galloping like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth, like a mountain torrent.

In normal times, within less than 200 steps, Gao Yingxiang would not have ordered the cavalry to charge, but this time, perhaps due to emotional anxiety, or perhaps despising the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers, when it was about 300 steps, the military order for the front impact was impatiently issued.

Because of the rain, it was already dark at that time, and the cavalry who were galloping with their horses' hooves did not know how far they were from the front of the official army, and they could not even figure out the direction of the movement of the official army. Just rely on the electric light that crosses the sky from time to time, and grasp the light in the moment to identify one or two.

The terrain of this foothill is not open, and the cavalry led by the Prancing Horse can accommodate up to three or five horsemen at the same time. Under the command of Liu Zhe, the thousands of cavalry who broke into the camp were divided into five groups, and the number increased from beginning to end, roughly in a triangle. Gao Yingxiang was at the back, Liu Zhe was at the front, and the two hundred horsemen from Yang Chengfu and Zhao Ying were assigned to the second queue.

Yang Chengfu had never fought such a battle. His eyes were black, and he couldn't see anything, but he sat down and the horse ran wildly as if he were crazy, and he subconsciously tightened the reins. I don't know how far I rushed out, I was still ignorant, and there was a sudden chaos in front of the left.

"Thief!"

"A straight with no eggs!"

All kinds of foul language seemed to be agreed, and they all made a noise in the darkness in front of the left. Along with this, there is the sound of various metals colliding. Yang Chengfu blinked his eyes hard, and the sparks from the countless blades were still clearly visible in this humid environment.

Soon, the terrible wails came one after another, reaching the ears of people from all directions of the road ahead, and in the darkness of the earth, the hearts of those who heard it were furious.

"The first platoon has picked up the enemy." Yang Chengfu thought nervously, staring straight ahead. Will you be one of those wailers in the near future? He was so engrossed that he did not dare to be distracted in the slightest, and leaned forward on his horse, sitting in the saddle. The reins were clenched in his left hand, and the scimitar was grasped with all his might in his right hand.

"It's coming, it's coming." Under the huge pressure, my mood relaxed a little, and I had time to start counting. However, it was still the same miserable rain, and the war horse under the crotch gradually slowed down.

The cavalry has no speed, and it will only become a more significant target, and Yang Chengfu is in a hurry and keeps urging the horses. But the war horse seemed to lose his temper, and walked on the spot, not taking a single step.

Just helplessly, a black shadow appeared in front of him, and Yang Chengfu's tense nerves reacted immediately, and his right hand was raised, impartially, and the black shadow swept in the middle. At the intersection, there was a huge earthquake in the tiger's mouth, and the scimitar could barely hold it, only to hear the neighing of the horse, and then look, a horse staggered to his right and fell to the ground and died.

There was no one immediately, Yang Chengfu breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the reason why his war horse stopped was because there was a similar kind of obstruction in front of him. At the same time, the sound of horses' hooves in the rear was in full swing, and the rear army was approaching, and if they did not move, they could not distinguish friend or foe in the night. If you don't stand still, you won't be killed by mistake by robe, and you will have to be trampled to death.

He wanted to wait for the horse to be urged again, but at this time, there were sudden cheers from the front, and through the wind and rain, it turned out to be the news that the official army had been defeated and retreated, and his own cavalry had won.

Only relying on the first batch of less than 100 people to crush the official army, Yang Chengfu did not really feel that it was not without reason that Gao Yingxiang despised the official army in Guanzhong.

In the darkness, the cavalry who broke into the camp did not pursue, nor could they pursue, and the cavalry galloping behind them restrained their horses. As soon as the officers and soldiers retreated, dozens of tightly wrapped and rain-proof winds lit up in the army. The bright lights are like stars, dotted in the endless black curtain.

Yang Chengfu eagerly looked around among the chaotic people, and he rode out of the crowd and came to him, and the people on the horse shouted happily: "Second brother! ”

With the light from the left, Yang Chengfu tried to hold back his tears, and lightly struck a whip on the pocket that raised the wind like blame, and said: "A melon baby, I said that I wanted to follow my brother, why did I disappear in the blink of an eye?" ”

Yang Zhaofeng smiled innocently: "I can't see clearly at night, the horse is also messy, and I somehow got separated from you with the second brother." Fortunately, the eldest brothers over there were righteous and gave me some guidance, so I was able to find my brother. ”

"Fortunately, neither of us died." Yang Chengfu muttered in his stomach, and his mouth was very stern, "Follow me closely next, and don't leave three steps away." ”

Before Yang Zhaofeng could make a promise, the cavalry formation dozens of steps away suddenly turned on his back.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Screams and trumpets sounded.

Yang Chengfu heard a veteran from another department beside him scolding fiercely: "What a trick of the official and military envoys of the dog day!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized. In this black-lit environment, it is difficult for the intruders to find the targets of the officers and soldiers, and in turn, it is also difficult for the officers and soldiers to find the traces of the invading troops who are constantly moving rapidly. The generals of the officers and soldiers were cunning, taking retreat as advance, and deliberately released a small force to lure them and then deceive them. Although the camp broke into the camp with a small victory, it was impossible to pursue it in the dark, so it could only be regrouped. The officers and soldiers took advantage of the fact that the lights of the army were lit up and the targets were still and dense to strike again. As it turned out, the results were good.

The wind and rain were blowing, and the officers and soldiers who did not know where they were kept throwing arrows at the bright light. The soldiers and horses are staggered, and they are unable to guard against these sudden and hard-to-find flying arrows, and in just a few breaths, Yang Chengfu can see that more than a dozen people have planted their horses. It's not just people, the target of the war horse is big, and there are more arrows. The frightened horses began to leap wildly, and the dense army suddenly fell into a boil.

"Lights out, lights out!"

After losing nearly 100 cavalry, the intruders finally came to their senses and found the crux of the attack. Dozens of dead winds were extinguished one after another. With the last bit of light gone, the heavens and the earth were once again plunged into endless darkness.

It is obvious that the officers and soldiers were cowardly in close combat, lost their obvious objectives, and fired a few sporadic arrows, which did not cause any more casualties to the intruding troops who moved back in time. Yang Chengfu wiped his face, panting like a cow, and called: "Fengzi!" ”

"Second brother, here you are."

Hearing this voice, Yang Chengfu was relieved for the most part. This little brother is his only relative in the world, and sometimes, he will be ashamed of Yang Zhaofeng's outstanding performance, but deep down, he is still very pleased with his brother's growth. As far as he is concerned, anyone can abandon him, including Zhao Dangshi - in the past in Wuyu, he did it once - but only Yang Zhaofeng is his closest relatives and flesh and blood that is difficult to give up. Thinking about it carefully, over the years, if there is no protection from his own strength, it is not an exaggeration to say that the young and slightly weak Yang Zhaofeng has a hundred ways to die.

Gao Yingxiang adjusted his tactics in time, let Liu Zhe divide a group of people, and wandered to the right for a distance, and then turned on the lights, while the main army quietly hid in the dark to observe the situation. After waiting for a while, except for the howling wind and rain, there were no expected arrows on the armor of Liu Zhe and other cavalrymen.

Liu Zhe was cautious, and at first said that the officers and soldiers were careful, but as the lights gradually increased, he and Gao Yingxiang were sure that they were 100% set up for this cunning army - the other party had already taken advantage of the opportunity to flee when the army was suspicious.

galloped across the field for most of his life, and he was so unexplained that he was playing tricks on people, no matter how big Gao Yingxiang's heart was, he couldn't swallow this breath.

I don't know if it's a cold, too tired, or overly nervous, Yang Chengfu's head seems to be hit by a big hammer that is constantly slamming, and his head is splitting. He thumped his head in pain, but it slammed the hard pocket, and his hand hurt from the shock.

Yang Zhaofeng asked with concern, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

The voice fell, and the rapid horns in the chaotic army formation rang out, Yang Zhaofeng sighed and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to rest tonight." ”

As he expected, as soon as the horn sounded, the heralds of each battalion and department shouted loudly, and the military orders were transmitted from the core area of Gao Yingxiang's side to all corners of the military formation. Yang Chengfu soon received an order, saying that King Chuang was determined to pursue and suppress this arrogant official army, and the matter of choosing a place to rest at night was temporarily canceled.

The noisy noise exacerbated Yang Chengfu's headache, and he was even a little dizzy the moment he heard King Chuang's military order. Yang Zhaofeng was quite energetic and began to greet his own horses, because according to the next few military orders, Zhao Ying's 200 cavalry still belonged to the forefront of the pursuit department.

Finally relieved himself, and the Zhao Yingzhong riders who belonged to the front began to move. Yang Chengfu lay on his horse, tossing and turning, so disgusted that he wanted to vomit, and then, finally, at an unknown time, quietly spit out a stream of bitter juice. The juice flowed onto the horse's mane, mixed with the rain, and was immediately washed away. Rushing all the way, Yang Chengfu was cloudy, and he only remembered that he squirted a few more mouthfuls of juice. As for the origin of the juice, he had no way of knowing.

The torrential rain gradually subsided in the second half of the night, Yang Chengfu was groggy for a long time, and he didn't know how long he chased the horse, and then, an urgent call sounded in his head: "Second brother, second brother ......"

When I opened my eyes again, there was already light. The sky was already dawning, and Yang Chengfu thought that he had entered another world in a trance, but the undulating horseback still pulled him back to reality.

"Second brother." After a night's rest, Yang Chengfu felt a lot better, and then Yang Zhaofeng stepped forward and called him happily.

"What, what's going on?" Straightening up his stiff waist, Yang Chengfu looked around, it was still the same wilderness. The soil, grass, and people are unchanged, and the only thing that has changed a little is the sky that turns cloudy and blue after the clouds disappear and the rain disappears.

Yang Zhaofeng explained with a smile: "My brother thought he was very tired last night, so he fell asleep immediately. Because of King Chuang's strict order, no one dared to dismount, so I had to watch my brother fall asleep. Fortunately, after a night of pursuit, we did not encounter the officers and soldiers again, and we went all the way to the east, and I heard that we have now reached the ground of the Ma Chao. ”

"The ...... of the Horse Dynasty"

Yang Chengfu often followed his father to Xi'an to work as a part-time worker, and Ma Chao had never been there, but he had also heard that when he arrived in this place, he would enter the territory of Ju County not far away.

"King Chuang just said, when you enter Ju County, you will have a good rest with all the soldiers." A bitter smile appeared on Yang Zhaofeng's tired face.

Yang Chengfu didn't squeak, and looked at the knights beside him in a blink of an eye, and after a night's journey, in the wind and rain, everyone's faces were dull, and the war horses were all listlessly hanging their heads and slowly strolling. When the battle is fought to this extent, if it does not rest, the people can stand it, and the horses can't stand it.

"Chuang Wang, Chuang Wang......" Yang Chengfu went over these two words over and over again in his mind, and when he thought of the end, he spat on the ground.

Yang Zhaofeng didn't pay attention to his actions, he looked forward, and the expression on his face instantly tightened.

In front of the 200 cavalry of the Zhao camp, there were nearly 1,000 pioneers who broke into the army, and when they spoke, seven or eight order flags were suddenly waved there.

The order flag is white on a white background and black edge, embroidered with a flying tiger, which is a kind of cavalry flag that breaks into the camp, and is generally used for warning. Looking at the several commanding flags held high first, they quickly turned around twice, and then pressed to the left, Yang Zhaofeng understood that this was the enemy army found in the left front.

"Ugh." Yang Chengfu also saw the flag language, and he complained bitterly in his heart. The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the troops who broke into the camp were extremely tired and needed to rest, but the officers and troops collided again.

Yang Zhaofeng reacted quickly, and with a wave of the horsewhip, several heralds on the left and right immediately scattered, shouting, waving a small pennant in his hand, reminding his soldiers and horses to prepare for battle. After that, he approached Yang Chengfu and said: "Second brother, this official army is insidious and abnormal, first lure me with guerrillas, and then ambush the main force here, don't take it lightly." ”

Yang Chengfu secretly smiled bitterly, where did he dare to despise the officers and soldiers, but his command level was limited, and the enemy was imminent, so he couldn't think of any countermeasures for a while, so he said: "We have to follow the arrangements of King Chuang." ”

Gao Yingxiang also received an urgent report from the official army. Liu Zhe reminded him that the officers and troops were prepared, and he also knew it, so he made a quick decision and ordered the whole army to stop advancing, shrink to the center, and reorganize the queue.

The officers and soldiers seemed to sense Gao Yingxiang's intentions, and sent thousands of people in the front to form a loose formation, spread out very widely, and hurried to this side. This trick may be useful for fledgling generals, but a veteran general like Gao Yingxiang who has been on the battlefield for a long time is like watching the fire.

Although the army was tired, it was a veteran of a hundred battles, and the order was still in order, ignoring the bait laid out by the officers and soldiers, and orderly arranging the troops and rearranging the sequence. The officers and troops were all infantry, and even if they pounced with all their might, they were still not as fast as the horse army. Seeing that the battle formation of the intrusive army was gradually formed, the protruding front officer army immediately retracted to the center and slowly retreated into the formation.

Yang Chengfu is in the layer of horse team, overlooking the horizon, the official army banner is spread in the wind, the sword and gun are erected like a forest, and it is arranged in three large squares, the two wings are prominent, and the middle formation is slightly reduced. It is estimated that there are no less than 10,000 people.
