Chapter 105: Guan Shan Xueleng's First Engagement (2)

"It's so complicated......" Liu Xiaofei, who was only familiar with Chang'an Lifang, shook his head: "The world is turbulent, why does the prince do nothing?" ”

"The prince ......" Su Sanniang snorted coldly: "The faint monarch has made King Sheng the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and his heart is clearly revealed. In the coming days, King Sheng will follow the example of Emperor Taizong and enter the East Palace with the great merit of quelling the rebellion. However, King Sheng and Yang Guozhong are both Miao but not showy people, and they have to rely on the deputy marshal of soldiers and horses, Gao Shufu, Wang Duhu and Feng Jieshuai to deal with An Lushan. ”

"Tuozhi City is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and it is possible to catch up with King Qin's rebellion; The main force of the Hezhong army led by my father may not have a chance to confront the thief...... "Ashina Wenxia was full of regret.

"Ashina Festival handsome ......" Su Sanniang glanced at her beloved disciple, and stopped talking.

"Listening to Brother Fei, the black-clothed food is dispatching troops and ready to move, and the situation in the river is not very peaceful." Ashina Wenxia said to herself.

"The soldiers and horses in the west have been serving the king, and all the demons and monsters can't hold it back. Tubo Zanpu sent an envoy to Beijing, saying that he was a pilgrimage saint, but in fact he wanted to get a glimpse of the truth; Tens of thousands of Hui soldiers were on the border, and their intentions were unknown; Nanzhao repeatedly sent small forces of troops and horses to test the Dadu water defense line; Even the always respectful Bohai Kingdom secretly coveted the fertile land under the jurisdiction of Pinglu Town. Su Sanniang sighed: "The country has internal strife, and it will attract external trouble; Internal strife is uneven, and external troubles are endless. I hope that the royal capital protector, the high privy envoy and the feudal marshal can defeat the rebels and capture the thieves as soon as possible. ”

Liu Xiaofei couldn't figure out the complicated situation in the world and the ever-changing situation between the enemy and the enemy, and when she first saw the cruelty of war, her chest was full of anger, and she couldn't wait to immediately slash a few rebels.

And the encounter with the enemy army came faster than Liu Xiaofei expected. When they were about to arrive at Huaizhou Prefecture, the snow was getting tighter and tighter, and Su Sanniang and the others were about to go to the forest next to the road to avoid the snow, when there was a faint crying sound in front of them. Liu Xiaofei followed the sound forward, took out the telescope and took a look, and found that ten people in the snowstorm were driving a team of ragged people to the south.

The chivalrous Su Sanniang would not sit back and watch the villagers fall into the hands of the rebels, she saw that the number of enemy troops was small, so she attacked decisively, long swords, horizontal knives together, flying knives, crossbow arrows flew together, and killed several people who fell into the river by surprise.

As the most elite cavalry under An Lushan, Luoluohe's combat power is extraordinary. Faced with the terrible situation of being outnumbered and caught off guard, Luoluohe fought back desperately, shooting two Suye scouts and three horsemen escaped.

Liu Xiaofei learned from the rescued people that the city of Huaizhou was not broken by the rebels, but the villages across Huaizhou were robbed. The overwhelming locusts that poured out of the Luoluo River swept around, burned, killed and looted in Hanoi County, not only swept away the grain and livestock in the village, but also captured many Ding Zhuang. There were only a few hundred county and county regiments in Huaizhou City, which were both soldiers and farmers, and they were very reluctant to defend the city, and they were unable to go out of the city to resist the enemy.

Su Sanniang was very concerned about the arrest of Zhuang Ding in the Luoluo River, and was about to interrogate in detail, and the scouts who went out to look out to warn him that nearly 100 people were roaring from the northeast of the Luoluo River.

If the people are left behind, Su Sanniang and the others can easily avoid the edge of the Luoluo River, but Liu Xiaofei knows that the ancestor will never abandon the people. She was about to recommend herself to be the vanguard of the enemy, but the master ordered her to return the same way to move the rescue soldiers.

"Master, I want to accompany you to kill the enemy!" Liu Xiaofei drew his long sword.

"Nonsense!" Su Sanniang snatched Liu Xiaofei's frost blade away and put it into the sheath: "Taking you to the battlefield is an eye-opener, not a death in vain." ”

Liu Xiaofei saw that her ancestor was angry, so she had to obediently obey the order, rode her horse west, and went to ask for help from Fei Langjun. When Fei Langjun learned that Su Shisanniang had encountered the enemy, he urgently ordered Nan Jiyun to lead the armored scout group as the vanguard and rushed to the battlefield. The rest of the soldiers and horses laid down their baggage, marched lightly, and prepared to meet the enemy.

The wind stirred the snow and dispersed, and the sound of killing was faint.

"There are cavalry besieging the woods...... Nan Jiyun raised his left fist to signal the whole army to stop, and while his right hand pulled out a monocular from his waist and scanned ahead.

"Su Shisanniang has to protect more than 100 people, and in the face of the fierce and swift Luoluo River, it is the best choice to retreat to the forest and wait for help. It just so happens that the snow is tight today, so you don't have to worry about the enemy setting fire to the forest. In an instant, Nan Jiyun had already made a decision, he clenched his longbow and said: "Scout Second Regiment, One Brigade and One Team, spread out the vigilance!" The rest of the brothers, follow a certain enemy to break the enemy! ”

"Break the enemy!" One hundred and fifty scouts quickly changed into the most energetic horses and formed an evacuation phalanx. They raised their bows and shouted, and the snow was like snow and jackdaws flying.

"Break the enemy!" Liu Xiaofei, who rushed into battle for the first time, was incorporated into the middle of the phalanx by Nan Jiyun, and she also roared red with a red face. Huang Qi and Wu Yi were on both sides of Liu Xiaofei.

"Rush!" Nan Jiyun took the lead and rode towards the woods. Wherever the horses' hooves passed, mud and snow splashed.

The 100-strong team of the Falling River, which was circling and besieging the woods, had also discovered the Suye Army, and they stared coldly at the scouts of the Suye Army, whose horses were getting faster and faster, and did not hurry to gather their forces, and set up a loose array on the northwest side of the woods.

"Shoot!" The cavalry bows made by both sides were the standard configuration of the Tang army, and the range was the same, so the two canopies of arrows rose into the sky almost at the same time, staggering in the snowy sky.

Instead of urging the horse to charge forward, the bow horse's skillful dragging river shot its feathered arrows, but instead turned the horse's head and galloped to the right, tightening its formation while avoiding the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and then stepping on the messy snow in an arc that sloped to the left rear, like a sharp knife straight into the flank of the Suye army.

The scouts of the Suye Army are based on veterans from Beiting and Anxi towns, all of whom are elites in a hundred, and even the youngest Huang Qi and Wu Yi are also the best in cavalry and archery among the students. Hearing the sound of the bowstring of the falling river, the scouts of the Su Ye Army tacitly followed Nan Jiyun to rein in the horse, and let nearly a hundred carving feathers fall on the snow in front of him.

"Wedge! Rush to the left! As soon as he noticed the intention of Luoluohe to try to attack his left flank, he urgently ordered his subordinates to change direction and change formations to counterattack the enemy's soft underbelly.

The 100-man team of the Trailing River was also very alert, they turned left again as they galloped at a rapid pace, like a giant python with a bloody mouth wide open, and bit the tail of the Su Ye Army scouts, and several scouts were stabbed off their horses by the sharp horse lances.

"This is the real combat power of the Falling River!?" Liu Xiaofei, who was galloping with the brigade in the middle of the array, was dumbfounded, having participated in the night fishing and trolling of the river in Huayin County a few months ago. At that time, the enemy was bright and I was in the dark, and the Su Ye dart division laid a net in advance, not only repelling the attack of the Luoluo River, but also capturing a few live mouths. Liu Xiaofei originally thought that the Luoluo River was not worthy of its name, but now after a few rounds of confrontation on the battlefield, she understood why when Feng Jieshuai led tens of thousands of troops out of Tongguan to recover Shaanzhou, he only repelled 3,000 Luoluo River, but could not annihilate it.

"Kill!" Nan Jiyun ignored the bite at the end of the team, and smashed into the flank and rear of the Luoluo River, chopping melons and vegetables and stabbing down two enemy soldiers.

The two elite hundred-man cavalry teams were like yin and yang fish in the Taiji diagram, biting each other's tails tightly and chasing, and the hot blood sprinkled on the cold snowy field, like a wound in the earth.

"Su Sanniang, don't rush at this time, when will you stay!?"

When the Dragloge River swirled between the Su Ye Army and the woods, Nan Jiyun, who had been carefully observing for a long time, roared loudly. Before he could finish speaking, the scout team that was in charge of escorting Gongsun Gate urged the horse out of the forest, as if a short dagger stabbed into the soft belly of the fish, and several people were dragged down in the river with a single look.

The elbow-armpit Trollingriver was in danger, ignoring their slain companions and spontaneously splitting into two teams. The front team gave up the pursuit of Nanji Yunbu and turned to the forest to kill; The rear team of the enemy at the head and tail threw away their lances, wielding a variety of melee weapons such as scimitars, bones, iron whips, and short axes, and roared into battle with the Scouts of the Suye Army. In a matter of moments, the snow was littered with corpses of men and horses.

The veterans of Beiting and Anxi in the scout team fought in the east and west, and had seen the bravery of the Tubo army, broken through the cities of the Turgish Khanate, and resisted the surging Khorasan cavalry, so they were not afraid of the falling river. Although the recruits from Tongluo, Fugu and the Party Item Department in the scout team had received rigorous training in Jiangzhou, they had never fought a tough and vicious battle. Especially the soldiers of the Tongluo Division, they had already suffered from the Fan Yang army, and they were quite afraid of the Luoluo River, if it weren't for the current situation, I am afraid that they would have collapsed long ago.

"Shi Zu is right, the battlefield rushes and kills, and the fancy sword skills can't be displayed. No wonder Captain Nan deliberately lined me up in the middle of the array. ”

Looking at the Luoluo River not far away, which was covered with blood spots but still struck with an axe, Liu Xiaofei was shocked. Huang Chi, who was guarding her side, clenched the horizontal knife and rubbed his hands, but the enemy had not yet rushed to her; Silent, Wu Yi had already wounded four enemies with a riding bow.

"Protect the people in the forest and Gongsun Gate!" Nan Jiyun was proudly hiding in the forest scout team to swoop into the flank of the Luoluo River, but the enemy immediately returned the color and decisively slaughtered into the forest, heading straight for the people.

After Nan Jiyun followed his brother Li Sheng to serve under the command of the Fei Army, the biggest feeling was that the military discipline of the Suye Army was extremely strict, not only strictly prohibiting the oppression of the people, but also repeatedly ordering and reaffirming that it was his duty to save the people. During the garrison in Jiangzhou, several recruits who went to the city to rest had a bully meal in a wine shop, and wantonly humiliated the orchid who sold wine. After ordering the Yu Hou Regiment to check it out, the envoy of the army was furious, and mercilessly corrected the troublesome recruits outside the gate.

Nan Jiyun was quite contemptuous of those recruits, because the military salary of the Su Ye army was extremely generous, in addition to the regular salary allocated by the household department, the envoy also paid out of his own pocket, and issued additional bounties of varying amounts according to the performance of the soldiers.

The Yu Hou Regiment personally led by the envoy of the Fei Army arranged for each team to have people in charge of preaching the battle situation, inspecting the soldiers, and supervising military discipline. There are many bookkeeping masters in the Yu Hou group, and most of them are drawn from Su Yeju and Yixue, and they are responsible for calculating the amount of bounties. The salary and bounty of each soldier were compiled in a book, published on a monthly basis, and could be checked by all. After confirming that it is correct, the food and salary books are signed and handed over to the bookkeeping department by the military envoy, and the bookkeeping department distributes them accordingly. Therefore, no one in the Suye army dared to eat empty salaries or embezzle the food and salaries of the soldiers.
