Chapter Seventy-Nine: After the Night Battle
After the three hundred horsemen turned around, Jing Yi raised his long sword in his hand, pointed in the direction where the bandits had gathered, and shouted: "Zhu Zongwei, follow me to kill the bandits!" ”
"Yes!" The voices of the hundred sect guards were like a sonorous and powerful sound of military drums, and even overwhelmed the trampling of three hundred horses, and they went directly towards the bandits.
Xiang Ying, the commander of the Shuyang Army, heard the movement and shouted: "It's His Highness's Sect Guard, don't worry about it!" ”
The impact power of the three hundred horsemen is known to the Shuyang army, but in a few short breaths, the impact of the past three hundred horsemen is a mess.
The deputy lieutenant of the Yuyang Army, Yi Ji, looked at the field and said in surprise: "This is the end?" ”
Xiang Ying nodded: "It's over......"
In his thoughts, he couldn't help but burst out with a foul language: "Damn, if you bump into those bandits just now, you will have to waste half of it if you don't die!" ”
Xiang Ying said: "You see, His Highness's Sect Guards just scattered the bandits gathered around Ge Bao, so I'll send troops over to collect and surrender now!" ”
"Yes!" Yi Ji nodded, and then commanded the soldiers to outflank him.
At this time, Lin Yuyan, who was in a secret place, only had Jianyang Lingluyuan and a few soldiers by his side, and seeing that the battlefield had gradually calmed down, Jianyang Lingluyuan was also excited: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Jingyi Baifu has already captured three hundred horsemen and destroyed the main force in the bandit army!" ”
Lin Yuyan nodded, when the three hundred horsemen turned around, Lin Yuyan's heart was already in his throat, if it wasn't for the three hundred horsemen brought back by Jing Yi, the Shuyang army would have suffered heavy losses this time!
Fortunately, the Zong Guard team led by Jing Yi succeeded in killing horses and horses!
Not long after, the important generals of the Shuyang Army all came together.
"Your Highness, this battle is another great victory!" Xiang Ying was the first to take a good chance.
Ji Ji also said with a smile: "Most of the bandits were rushed and killed, and the coerced bandits were all surrendered by our army!" ”
Listening to these good news, Lin Yuyan didn't care much, but looked at Jing Yi and asked, "Are there any casualties among the Sect Guards?" ”
Hearing this, Jing Yi replied with a smile: "Your Highness is too worried, the Zongwei are all from the Zongfu military soldiers, these bandits can't even ride horses, seeing the surprise attack of the Zongwei, they retreated after resisting twice, I think the main battlefield is important, that is, they did not pursue this group of bandits, and came back to support the main battlefield, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuyan waved his hand and said, "What is the crime?" The success of the horse is a great achievement, the first achievement of this battle! ”
Jing Yi nodded, and then took some of the sect guards to stand behind Lin Yuyan again.
This is, Xiang Ying, the captain of the Shuyang Army, asked Lin Yuyan for his order: "Your Highness, after these two battles, our army has won a complete victory, killing nearly 7,000 bandits, and the main force of the bandits has been lost. ”
Yu Yan, the commander of Jianyang, also said from the side: "Your Highness, this is only more than ten miles away from the Gou clan's territory, and the last general is willing to lead the way for the Weiyang army as a former army!" ”
The Thorn Yang Ling Lu Yuan beside him also moved to stand in front of Lin Yuyan and pleaded: "Yes, Your Highness, the bandit army is newly defeated, and its vitality is greatly damaged, and it is bound to not fall in love with the war, our army has three hundred horsemen and Saimen knife carts, and it can recover Thorn Yang in one go!" ”
Seeing these requests to fight, Lin Yuyan also glanced around, and found that there were many people who were eager to try, knowing that this was the high morale brought about by the big victory.
However, now is not the time to go to war, and the bandits can now judge that the defeat is assured, but there is still some resistance to it.
Especially this black, of course, it can cover up its actions and achieve the purpose of the raid, but if someone is also using this night to fight, it is very likely that the result will be the same as the fate of Ge Leopard this time.
These days since the fight with this Ge Leopard, Lin Yuyan thinks that this Ge Leopard is indeed a general, he is not a veteran of the border army, but he can hold the position of Xiao Chang'an Judu Lieutenant, maybe in addition to the help of the Shuishui bandits, Ge Bao himself is also talented, but there are three reasons for his defeat: one is the arrogant soldier, the enemy is not clear, and the third is that the official army of Shuyang this time is led by Lin Yuyan himself, this is a prince who has studied the "trick of the army", and is good at using it and is now orthodox but slightly declining" The command of another way of engaging the army is completely different, that is, the "trick of the army"!
I only heard Lin Yuyan speak: "No, the night battle is dangerous and abnormal, now our army is already victorious, there is no need to take risks at this time, if I am not wrong, I will break and flee tonight, let the soldiers rest for a while, and then regain the thorny sun tomorrow, and besides, this time the soldiers are a bit unusual, and it is a little troublesome to collect and surrender, and the soldiers of Shuyang need to be guarded personally." ”
Hearing this, Xiang Ying nodded, during this time, he already had an understanding of the heart of this highness, and knew that this highness was by no means the commander of "one general who achieved ten thousand bones", and he attached great importance to the lives of the soldiers under his hands.
Xiang Ying and other generals of the Shuyang Army all agreed with His Highness's opinion, after all, the tactics of these two defeats of the Thornyang bandits were formulated by His Highness, and now His Highness's prestige in the Weiyang Army can be described as in the sky, not because of His Highness's identity, but because of His Highness's chest strategy!
Now that it was the third watch, Lin Yuyan took a look, and the movement of the battle just now really made him unable to sleep, so he went to the camp not far away accompanied by Jing Yi and others, this military camp has been ravaged by bandits, and now it is a mess.
Lin Yuyan took a nap in the temporary camp tent, it was dawn, Xiang Ying also entered the barracks early in the morning, and reported to Lin Yuyan: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I have already asked last night, these bandits are really hateful, and they lied to those bandits that the officials and soldiers of Huayang only killed the soldiers and did not accept them, so the bandits ignored our surrender last night!" ”
"Oh? How could there be such a thing??? Lin Yuyan didn't expect that the bandits would be so high-spirited, and it would actually be caused by the bandits' encouraging words, so he asked, "Ge Bao's idea?" ”
Xiang Ying waved his hand and said: "No, it's the number two person of the bandits in the Central Plains, it seems to be the idea of what to call Ma Zhong, Your Highness, I listened to the descriptions of these soldiers, this one is called Ma Zhong, it should be the old lady Ma who escaped in Shuyang City, by the way, Ma Zhong seems to have a son, who is usually called Tiger Ye, and it should be the only fish of the four tigers of the Ma family who has escaped the net!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuyan lowered his head and thought about it, and quickly said: "It's not the Ma family in Shuyang City, they have colluded with the water bandits and been executed, and now they are the water bandits on the water!" ”
Xiang Ying was stunned when he heard this, but he figured it out after a while, this Royal Highness is afraid that the news that the "old lady Ma" is still alive is released at this time, those wealthy families in Shuyang City are afraid that they are going to break out, these people, when His Royal Highness formed the Shuyang Army, but he squeezed a lot of things, and now that the Shuyang Army is not there, if these guys give birth to something in Shuyang City, it will be difficult to do!
"The last will understand." Xiang Ying replied.
Immediately, Lin Yuyan glanced at the sky and said, "Send some people to send the soldiers to the side of the Yang Order, the Gou clan, let's go and take a look......
"Good!" Xiang Ying responded, and suddenly rejoiced in his heart, the Gou clan land is the hinterland location of Thorn Yang, and the Thorn Yang Mansion is a place dozens of miles north-east of it, if the Gou clan land is recovered, will the Thorn Yang Mansion be far away?
Half an hour later, the Shuyang army was divided into two teams, the Shuyang army, the Shuishui Yicong, the defenders of Jianyang City, and the Qingzhuang of the old clan marched towards the territory of the Gou clan, and the other road of 800 Luoyang Qingzhuang once again carried more than 2,000 soldiers to the south of Jianyang, where the Lingdian of Shuyang was located.
When the army was marching out, Xiang Ying glanced at the young man who was walking with his back, and also smiled at his Royal Highness: "Haha, Your Highness, this time there are more than 2,000 soldiers, and Huang De has a headache!" ”
Lin Yuyan was silent, although he has found a way out for these pawns now, but the sudden increase of more than 4,000 people has a lot of food burden on Shuyang, which is now a headache for Shuyang, and when this battle is over, he will have a headache!
Lin Yuyan shook his head, and then stopped thinking about this matter, but focused on the march.
Now there are more than 2,000 people left on the side of the Shuyang army, except for a few casualties, some old clans saw that the Shuyang army had already recovered their clan leadership in Jianyang, so they left the official army team in Shuyang halfway and went to collect the bones of the wilderness abandoned by the bandits.
However, Lin Yuyan also showed no mercy to these old clans, the original old clan's family property was charged to the imperial court, temporarily lived in the same place, and then properly resettled after the war, these old clans had to agree.
When the official army of Shuyang arrived at the Gou clan's territory, they smelled the smell of scorching smoke.
"Report! The bandits have burned all the Gou clan's territory! "The scouts who rushed to the Gou Clan's territory in advance have already sent back the news.
"This bunch of crumbs!" Yu Yan, the commander of Thorn Yang, scolded angrily.
Xiang Ying was a little more sober, and asked the herald soldier: "Do you know the movement of the bandit army?" ”
The herald replied: "There are rut marks on the east side of Gou's Zhuangzi, which should have passed towards Jianyang Mansion......"
"??? of Thorn Yang Mansion" Xiang Ying didn't expect that the bandits would retreat in this direction, and according to his estimate, it should be Xiao Chang'an. In this way, the retreat of the small Chang'an Ju that was occupied by the Gou clan territory by the Shuyang army, the bandits just can't go back!
"Could it be that the bandits want to occupy the Yang or the Yin?" Thorn Yang Ling said so.
Hearing this, Yu Yan, the commander of Jianyang, replied: "There is a branch of the Fangcheng army stationed in Wuyin, and the bandit army is now injured and can't take Wuyin, it may be the road of Miyang......"
"The population of Miyang is not much compared to Thorn Yang, if the bandits are really allowed to enter Miyang, then ......" The worry in Xiang Ying's words was already very obvious.
Lin Yuyan also had insight into the route that the bandits would take to take the route of Miyang, and immediately said: "Jing Yi! ”
Jing Yi stepped forward and said, "Your Highness." ”
Lin Yuyan immediately ordered: "Lead three hundred horsemen to pursue the bandit army, if you stay in Jianyang Mansion, stop the movement of the guard bandit army, if you are not in Jianyang Mansion, the bandit army has dug a lot of things in Jianyang, so many people are hurrying, it is bound to leave traces, you lead three hundred horsemen to chase and drag out the bandit army, and the Shuyang army will arrive as soon as possible." ”
Hearing this, Jing Yi nodded, and also understood His Royal Highness's intentions, and then asked lightly: "Your Highness, but do you want to bring Mr. Wen back?" ”
Lin Yuyan nodded, this bandit army is going to attack the east of Wuguo, because of the Fangcheng army, it is bound to take the southern part of Miyang, which bypasses the Fangcheng army stationed in Wuyin, and Lin Yuyan's fief is the south of Miyang, and now Lin Yuyan's guest Wen Xiangheng is in the fiefdom, and it is very likely to be attacked by migratory bandits!
For this guest secretary of the sect, Lin Yuyan also attaches great importance to it.
However, Lin Yuyan overestimated the strength of the bandits' feet, because after a night of evacuation, the bandits were still in Jianyang Mansion.
