Just when Sun Anbu captured more than 100 cavalrymen of Hei Da, Yang Zhisuochao had already approached the gate of Mengxian County.

The population of Meng County is also more than 100,000, but the scale of the city is only 30,000 or 40,000, the city walls are low, and the city defense is dilapidated. Originally, there were 100 infantry troops and 100 horse troops in the county, and the soldiers and horses of both of them rebelled, and the army came and killed these 200 people.

Suo Chao took the lead, leading dozens of elites to kill at the front, and dozens of catties of big axes were stained red with blood. Tian Hujun in the Dongmen Cave of Meng County thought that his own cavalry had come to fish for something, and he carefully found that the flag of this cavalry was different, the big flag said Jeju Army, and the general rode the big flag with Yang and Suo two flags.

"The Jeju army is coming, the Jeju army is coming, close the city gate quickly, and manage the city gate quickly." The soldiers panicked and put down their belongings and prepared to close the city gates.

Suo Chao bent his bow and shot arrows, and the sharp wolf's tooth arrow hit the front of an enemy soldier, and he didn't even scream, and fell down directly. The feather arrows of the cavalry next to him also arrived, and most of the soldiers who wanted to go to close the city gate were killed and wounded, and the rest were already frightened and fled.

"Kill." Suo shouted loudly and led the cavalry to rush in. The level of archery shooting is not covered, when the soldiers are selected are all men who ride horses in the north all the year round, and after strict riding and archery training, only those who gallop on horses are qualified. The riding bow used is less powerful, but there is no pressure on the person who is 100 meters away. Tian Hujun had very little armor, and the wolf's tooth arrow easily penetrated his clothes, and he fled in embarrassment. Suo Chao led hundreds of people into the city first, and when he saw the gathered enemy soldiers, he shot arrows indiscriminately, and if he dared to resist, he used a big axe to chop. But for the enemy soldiers who ran around and scurried, they did not pursue, and even those who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy did not have soldiers to tie them up.

Later, Yang Zhi led the team into the city and began to clear the rebellious soldiers and receive prisoners. When Sun An came in, there was almost no hard battle to fight, only scattered resistance, there were many enemy soldiers, twice as many as cavalry, but they had been completely dispersed by Suo Chao, the generals could not find soldiers, the soldiers could not find generals, and there was no way to form a strong resistance. Infantry against cavalry, even street battles need to form formations, long and short weapons matching, or the soldiers' martial arts are strong, and the will to fight is amazing. But the Tianhu army did not form a formation, the infantry fought separately, and the martial arts were not strong, which was unlucky, the feather arrows were whizzing, and before they rushed to the Jeju army cavalry, they had already been hit by several arrows in the chest.

There are two streets in the small county town, Yang Zhi and Suo Chao led people to stir up the set, and there were many people who surrendered on their knees.

Sun An said: "Battalion Commander Yang, what are you going to do next?" ”

Yang Zhi is a pioneer officer, and he naturally can't be vague about his idea at this time, so he immediately said: "Pass the order, after clearing the remnants of the bandits, only the five hundred cavalry of Deputy General Suo Chao will be left to maintain order in the city, and the main force will go out of the city to join Luan Tingyu's department, let's set up camp and start tomorrow morning." ”

It is easy to fight, but the mess is difficult to clean up, Yang Zhi and others strictly restrained the Jeju army from committing any crimes, escorted the prisoners out of the city, extinguished the fire ignited by the Tianhu rebels in the city, and imposed a curfew at night, and the entire Meng county town was quiet, and there was no noise of the rebels. Sun An took no pains to personally lead 200 soldiers to patrol the city, and the city was stable and basically safe.

The big camp outside the city, Yang Zhi counted the results, this battle was a big victory, more than 4,000 prisoners, more than 1,000 annihilated, the fly in the ointment is that there are 2,000 Tian Hu rebels who took advantage of the chaos to escape, most of these rebels are local farmers, they can't live to follow Tian Hu to raise troops, seeing the defeat of the soldiers, they threw their weapons, and the military uniforms took off and drilled into the people's homes.

Yang Zhidao: "All the departments of Mengxian County in World War I have military merits, and the clerk has a detailed record. We have made a lot of contributions this time, but we can't take it lightly, Tanma reported to Shouyang, and there were also enemy troops in Pingding who were robbing the people and recovering grain and grass. The main force of the enemy army was 15,000 in Shouyang, and there were more than 6,000 in Pingding. ”

Yang Zhi pointed to the map to introduce it to everyone, and the generals were also worried when they heard it. Sun An said: "This strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field is very powerful, once the enemy army retreats all the grain and grass to Yangquan City, we can't supply it on the spot, not to mention, we have to give relief to the people who have no food, according to my opinion, attack and pacify it overnight." ”

Yang Zhidao: "Our soldiers are now stationed in Meng County, and it will take at least two days for the main army to arrive." In this way, the most people who can attack and pacify are only 3,000 light cavalry, not to mention that we are tired of fighting for a day, once the risk is not small, do you have any good way? ”

Luan Tingyu said: "If the troops are not enough, they will outwit them, and there are six or seven thousand soldiers in Pingding City, but they are just a rabble." Let's send a small team of men and horses to change into the enemy's clothes to control the city gate first, and then the army will assault, and the enemy army in Shouyang will become a frightened bird, how can you still grab food. ”

Ginger is still old and spicy, and this method of changing military uniforms is very practical for the rabble. Immediately, Yang Zhi made a decision, and Suo Chao 500 soldiers stayed in Meng County, and collected strong men to put on soldiers' clothes to patrol and defend the city.

Yang Zhibu, Sun Anbu, and Luan Tingyu got rid of the dead and wounded soldiers, a total of 3,200 cavalry rushed to Pingding, and some of the cavalry at the head changed into the clothes of Tian Hujun, and the military flag was also replaced with the Tian character and the word An. The distance from Mengxian to Pingding is only more than 100 miles, and along the way, they encountered a lot of scattered Tian Hu troops, scurrying everywhere. These rebels still thought they were their own people, and they wanted to go together, but no one paid attention to them.

When I arrived outside Pingding County, it was the middle of the night, and the night was dark. The army hid in a mountain col, and the men rested on their horses. Sun An volunteered to take the lead, he was wearing the clothes of Officer Tian Hu, that is, the little leader he captured, and he was the patrol head of the Tianhu Army.

Everyone was eating jerky, and Yang Zhi whispered: "Everyone understands what the governor means, although our Jeju Army and Tian Hujun are hostile relations, Tian Hujun is not an outsider, they are all the same Chinese clan, the descendants of Yan and Huang, so if you can stabilize the situation, you can kill more and not more." I led 500 cavalry to build momentum outside the city, and after the two entered the city, they chased and fought fiercely, and the enemy soldiers thought that our army was strong, so they naturally surrendered. ”

Luan Tingyu said with a smile: "Although I am very famous in the Jeju army, I don't have many military achievements, and this battle must be majestic." ”

The rest was almost over, the sky was bright, and the defenders of Pingding County opened the city gate and began to pull grain, cattle and sheep out.

Sun Sannian slowly passed with more than 100 cavalry, and the defenders didn't care, because the banners and costumes were all from Tian Hujun. When they reached the door, the gatekeepers stopped them.

"Stop, which part." The gatekeeper asked.

Sun An said: "The sentry under General An's command, Meng County was lost, and we fled back desperately." Sun An handed over the waist card to check.

"Say the password." The gate army is quite serious.

Sun An secretly said that it was bad, how did they know what the password was.
