After Yang Xiaoshan completed the formalities from the Xiwang, he officially formed an army on a vacant land in the east of Yong'an City. He himself was the middle army, appointed Luo Xuan as the front army, Li Xiu as the left army, Chen Yu as the right army, and Wei Jun as the rear army, and all four of them were promoted to military commanders.

The sun had risen, and the newly formed horse infantry in the open field was lined up in a neat line, and the appearance of the army was neat. Under the sun, the young men were dressed in bright yellow lock gold coats, wearing yellow turbans, holding long hair, and high morale with big swords. The war horses on the side shook their long manes and let out a long roar.

"Chen Chengxiang has arrived!" At this time, Chen Chengrong, the prime minister of Chen Chengrong, took the edict of the king of heaven to break the siege and a special military flag for Yang Xiaoshan, which was a big red flag with a five-clawed dragon pattern, and the top of the banner was embroidered with "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Tongtianhou", and a three-foot-sized gold word was embroidered in the center: Yang.

Chen Chengying is the head of the hundred officials in the court and has rarely appeared. Once he appears, it means that the standard of the matter is very high, and it also represents the presence of the Heavenly King. Chen Chengying's official reputation is not very good, because he is a typical snob. If you have a good future, he will greet you with a smile, and if you are unlucky, he will not look at you. Therefore, Chen Chengying's face has become a barometer of officialdom, and if you look at his attitude towards himself, you can know whether you can advance in heaven.

At this moment, Chen Chengying smiled like a flower, and when he saw Yang Xiaoshan, he couldn't be polite, "Brother Xiaoshan, congratulations, congratulations." ”

Yang Xiaoshan rarely dealt with the internal officials, and he naturally treated each other politely. "Prime Minister Chen, please make a trip yourself."

"Don't tight, don't tight. The military situation is urgent, we will avoid red tape, read the edict of the king to the brothers, and you can set off without delaying your efforts. Chen Chengying said.

"Prime Minister Chen, please!" Yang Xiaoshan invited Chen Chengying to the podium.

Chen Chengying came to the stage, cleared his throat and read aloud: "The male generals and female generals of the general army, a thousand prayers obey the order of heaven。。。。。。 (The original text is omitted here, and the general meaning is to encourage everyone to work together, forge ahead, abandon the small profits in front of us, seek great blessings in the future, and move forward to a small paradise together.) ）

When the ceremony was over, Chen Chengrong pulled Xiaoshan aside again, "I have already explained to the Holy Treasury that you will give priority to the military supplies, as long as you need them, you can take them." ”

"Thank you Prime Minister Chen, Xiaoshan is grateful." Yang Xiaoshan knew that the supplies were already very tight now, and all the armies were in short supply. Now Chen Chengxiang has enough to take care of himself, and he has taken great care of himself.

"It's all my own family, no thanks. My nephew Chen Yucheng is on an errand under you, and I hope to take care of one or two. Sure enough, Chen Chengying also has his own selfishness.

"Yucheng and I are like brothers, I don't need the prime minister's orders, I will also take care of him." Yang Xiaoshan didn't think there was anything, Chen Yucheng already had the strength, he didn't have to take care of himself, he could get ahead.

In less than an hour, the army was ready, and Yang Xiaoshan led the team to race against time and go straight to Yulong Pass.

At the same time, Xiang Rong sent the general soldier and Chun to secretly cross the horseback ridge and come to the Jade Dragon Pass with all his might.

Both armies were marching at full speed, so that when they discovered each other, they were very close to each other, but only a few hundred meters away.

"What, thousands of Qing troops were found on the left side of our army? From the direction of Horseback Ridge? Yang Xiaoshan was shocked, this was something that Yang Xiuqing did not expect, and the early investigation did not find that there would be so many Qing troops here, it must have been temporarily arranged by the Qing army.

"It's bad, they're just like us, they're going to Jade Dragon Pass." Yang Xiaoshan immediately realized this. "They must be intercepted, and they must not be allowed to go to the Jade Dragon Pass."

"Order Luo Xuan to quickly rush to the rich village in front and block the way of the Qing army to Yulong Pass, and the others will deal with these Qing demons with me."

Yang Xiaoshan was surprised at the same time, and He Chun was also surprised, "Why are you walking, so many long hairs suddenly appeared on the right side, and it seems that there are more people than yourself." ”

He Chun is not an incompetent person, he was also promoted from a low-level petty officer, and he has basic tactical literacy. But Yang Xiaoshan suddenly attacked him, making him subconsciously have the idea of defensiveness, which was an instinctive reaction.

When he engaged Yang Xiaoshan's team, He Chun immediately regretted it, and his mission was to go to Yulong Pass to support. The most important action he should make should be to let the main force still march towards the Jade Dragon Pass with all its might, instead of fighting with Long Hair here. Seeing that the rich village in front of him was taken down by Long Hair, he was blocked outside the Jade Dragon Pass. He Chundun felt restless, facing the long hair of superior forces, he could only join the defenders of Jade Dragon Pass with victory, and this possibility did not seem to be very large.

The reaction in just a moment made He Chun lose the strategic initiative, and Yang Xiaoshan made a correct judgment.

Li Xiucheng's spear team plunged headlong into Hechun's formation, they were all new forces, and they had just formed an army. The officers in the team were all promoted, the equipment was the best in the whole army, and the morale was high, and soon the Chinese army in Hechun was scattered.

Li Xiucheng and He Chun exchanged hands, the two faced each other, Li Xiucheng was young and vigorous, and soon took the lead. Another Qing general saw that the situation of the general army was not good, and wanted to go to help, but was intercepted by Li Xiucheng's younger brother Li Shixian and could not move.

After a few rounds, Hechun was a little powerless, if it weren't for his combat experience, I am afraid that he would have been won by Li Xiucheng a long time ago. He fought and walked, wanting to get rid of Li Xiucheng.

He Chun's Chinese army was repulsed, and his left and right armies were even more defeated. Chen Yucheng and Wei Jun attacked from both sides, the tigers in and out of the cage were brave and ferocious, the first time they fought, several young people were still competing with each other, no one was willing to be left behind, and they were very competitive.

By the time Yang Xiaoshan's Chinese army rushed up, the battle had basically entered the stage of sweeping the end, where was Hechun the opponent of these new forces, his team had just crossed the horseback ridge and was tired, this battle was not an opponent at all, if it weren't for Hechun's usual management of the army was quite strict, I am afraid that he would have scattered and fled long ago.

When He Chun fled back to Mabeiling with the defeated army, Yang Xiaoshan ordered not to pursue, and the enemy's establishment was completely broken up along the way. There is no longer a threat to himself, and the most important thing now is to capture the Jade Dragon Pass as soon as possible, which is the right thing. This victory is nothing but a small test.

Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng and others were a little reluctant, this chase was too painful. There are a lot of red tops picked up along the way, and they are comparing who gets the most, and the results seem to be evenly matched.

Seeing He Chun lead hundreds of remnants of the army to leave, Yang Xiaoshan knew that he had to hurry up and attack Yulong Pass, and the strategic ideas of the Taiping army had been obtained by the Qing Demon, leaving less time for him to break through.
