Chapter Fifty-Six: A Small Victory

Chen Keyan rode on his war horse and looked coldly ahead. Yang Lian took the initiative to lead the troops to steal the camp, but he stayed and waited for Yang Lian to succeed in stealing the camp, and then led the cavalry to rush to kill, but, how high was Yang Lian's success rate? Chen Keyan didn't know.

But one thing he can be sure of is that at least after meeting Yang Lian, Chen Keyan began to transfer, from the envoy of Henglin Town to the guard general of Changzhou. Although the progress is not obvious, it is still worth thanking, after all, it is still difficult for a child of a side branch to climb up.

Chen Keyan hopes that Yang Lian will succeed, so that he can accumulate certain military merits and climb up step by step. He fantasized that he would become a general in the future, lead thousands of troops and horses, crisscross the battlefield, and win victory after victory, and then be knighted and worshipped, glorifying his ancestors.

Chen Keyan was fantasizing when suddenly, a soldier pointed ahead and said, "General, look! ”

Chen Keyan raised his head and saw that the camps of Wu Yuejun's sporadic fires had begun to burn the plains, which made Chen Keyan feel overjoyed that Yang Lian had succeeded! He immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Brothers, kill!" ”

At the end, he didn't forget to add, saying: "Anyone who has a white cloth tied on Bo's arm is his own person, don't be mistaken!" ”

"Whoa!" The soldiers replied.

Once the two hundred cavalry charged, the momentum was still quite amazing, especially in the middle of the night, it was even more abrupt and frightening, and the ground shook violently. The distance of more than 200 paces was almost a moment for a cavalryman. The fence was either burned or pulled open, and the cavalry rushed in, slashing and killing indiscriminately in the camp of the Wu and Yue army.

The sound of the chaotic battle woke up more Wu Yuebing, and many people just got up, and before they understood what was going on, they were confused.

And the killing of the general surnamed Gu made the Wu Yue army leaderless and unable to organize an effective counterattack. Casualties continued to increase, and Wu Yue's army began to collapse.

Yang Lian held the head of the general surnamed Gu in his hand and shouted: "Gu Quanwu is dead, you still don't surrender?" He didn't know this person's name, so he called him Gu Quanwu.

The bloody head is terrifying, but Gu Quanwu's name is puzzling, after all, Gu Quanwu has been dead for more than twenty years, and it is impossible for him to come back to life. However, many soldiers of Wu Yuejun saw clearly that this was the head of Commander Gu. Many of them were stunned for a moment, what is going on? Why did Commander Gu die?

Without waiting for them to think about it, Yang Lian carried a bloody head in one hand and a long knife in the other, slashing through the crowd. Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie also moved closer to Yang Lian, and the three of them were like tigers, invincible, killing seven or eight Wu Yue soldiers in an instant.

"Commander Gu was killed by him, kill him, avenge Commander Gu!" All of them shouted frantically.

"Look for death!" Yang Lian snorted coldly, stared at the man, and the long knife in his hand danced again and pounced. Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie hurriedly followed behind to protect Yang Lian's left and right.

A Wu Yue soldier wanted to resist Yang Lian, Yang Lian rose up his divine power, and slashed down, only to hear the sound of the bell, the short knife in the man's hand broke into two, and he stepped back a few steps. The man looked at the long knife in Yang Lian's hand in disbelief, this long knife was so sharp?

Without waiting for him to react, Yang Lian raised his knife again and slashed out, on the battlefield, in fact, there is no special coincidence, as long as there is enough physical strength, a hard enough blade and a highly protective armor, he can survive longer. Yang Lian's move is very simple, that is, raise the knife and slash out. After more than half a year of training, coupled with his talent and great strength, few people can stop him with a knife.

In the man's surprised gaze, the long knife slashed, and when he reacted, one shoulder had already landed, and before he could cry out in pain, Yang Lian slashed out again, hitting the person's head. The man's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with a deep slash on his face.

Yang Lian sneered and rushed forward again, the long knife in his hand kept slashing out, and many people fell down screaming.

Chen Keyan's cavalry was also slashing and slashing, blood was splashing, human heads were flying, minced meat was all over the ground, and the air was soon filled with a suffocating smell of blood. The neighing of war horses could be heard in the distance.

Gao Xiansi woke up from his sleep in pain, he only felt hungry and thirsty, and this old life was about to be lost here. Suddenly, he faintly felt something, so he called the soldiers on the side and said, "Help me up." ”

The soldiers were woken up by Gao Shensi, and hurriedly helped Gao Shensi to stand up, Gao Shensi took a lot of effort before he limped to the edge of the sand mountain, staring out. In the dark night, the firelight was very eye-catching, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing.

"Are reinforcements coming?" Gao Xiansi was a little puzzled, who got the news so quickly? Could it be the defenders of Changzhou? However, the defenders of Changzhou rushed over as soon as possible, and it would take at least two days.

"Quick, go and find out, what's going on?" Gao Shensi said busily.

At this time, Li Zhenggu and Zhu Kuangye also heard the sound and woke up. Li Zhenggu walked quickly to Gao Shensi's side and looked out.

Zhu Kuangye looked at it for a while, and said in surprise: "Wu Yue people have bombed the camp." ”

"What's going on?" Li Zhenggu was puzzled.

"Vice Envoy Li, no matter what, this is our best chance." Gao Shen pondered.

Li Zhenggu nodded, he understood what Gao Shensi meant. Regardless of whether the Wu Yue people cheated or not, this Southern Tang army has been firmly trapped, and only by breaking through can there be a glimmer of life. If it is the enemy's deception, then Li Zhenggu can only admit it; But if not, there is a chance to live. This chance is five or five, and you will always be trapped here waiting for death.

At this moment, Li Zhenggu immediately made a decision: "Pass the order, and the three armies will be killed immediately." ”

Zhu Kuangye said loudly: "I'm here to fight the vanguard." As he spoke, he immediately retreated and went to fetch his sword.

This Tang army of less than 300 people quickly moved, under the leadership of Zhu Kuangye, the young and strong soldiers who were not injured or only slightly injured took the lead, and the rest followed behind, Li Zhenggu ordered several soldiers to protect Gao Xiansi and sneaked down the sand mountain.

Zhu Kuangye carried a spear in his hand and led his troops to kill, and along the way, many Wu Yue soldiers fled one after another, and few of them had the heart to fight. After Zhu Kuangye picked a few people, he was even more sure that the reinforcements had arrived, but he didn't know who the reinforcement generals were?

The battlefield was chaotic, the death of Commander Gu made the Wu Yue people have no backbone, and several of the heads who tried to resist were killed by Yang Lian, just like the defeat of the Tang army last night, this Wu Yue soldiers gradually collapsed, after Chen Keyan led the cavalry to repeatedly charge and kill several times, and finally the stubborn Wu Yue people also chose to flee.

"General Chen, pursue." Yang Lian shouted.

In fact, without waiting for Yang Lian's orders, Chen Keyan had already chosen to pursue, the two hundred cavalry still had a lot of physical strength, and the war horses had only been running for half an hour, and there was still a lot of physical strength enough to squander. Wu Yuebing has a war horse, and he escapes a little faster, and if he doesn't have a war horse, he only hates that his parents have two legs. No matter how desperately they ran, how could they outrun the horses?

The spears and broadswords continued to harvest the lives of Wu Yuebing, making Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie cry out with joy, Yang Lian killed more than a dozen people, and the whole person was bathed in a sea of blood, which made people unable to see his appearance clearly. The horse's tail is already full of hideous human heads. This pursuit and killing all the way took more than 30 miles. Yang Lian then ordered to return, and if he continued to go deeper, he was afraid that he would meet more Wu Yue soldiers and horses, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

Back in Shashan, the entire battlefield was basically calm, and the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle were collected. After a little bit, there were about 200 Wu Yue soldiers killed in the battle, and in addition, hundreds of people surrendered and were tied up with ropes by the Tang army left behind.

The Wuyue people were stationed here, there was a lot of grain, among which there were three sheep, and the hungry Li Zhenggu and his subordinates had already slaughtered the sheep, divided them into several large pieces, washed them by the river, and cut them small, and put nothing down, just skewered them on the blades and roasted them. Although there is no salt and other things, everyone eats with relish.

Li Zhenggu didn't care that there was a strong smell of blood around him, and even that there were people's minced meat on the ground, he took a piece of lamb leg roasted by his own soldiers, and gnawed it until his mouth was full of oil.

Everyone was safe, Yang Lian was relieved, he jumped off the war horse, walked quickly to Li Zhenggu's side, and said: "The lowly Yang Lian has seen Deputy Envoy Li, Gao Tongjun, and Zhu Tongjun. "Although there is a conflict with Zhu Kuangye, Yang Lian will still do what he should do.

Li Zhenggu was taken aback, saw Yang Lian covered in blood, and said in a lost voice: "You are Yang Lian?" ”

Yang Lian nodded and said, "The lowly position is Yang Lian." ”

Gao Xiansi's voice trembled a little, he didn't expect it to be Yang Lian: "Yang Lian, why did you appear here?" ”

Yang Lian took off the water bladder from his waist, took Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie's over, handed them to Li Zhenggu, Gao Xiansi, and Zhu Kuangye, and said, "This matter is a long story. "How to lead the troops to retreat, how to meet Chen Keyan, and how to decide to rush to the rescue, one by one. However, Yang Lian pushed the idea of rescue to Chen Keyan.

Chen Keyan listened on the sidelines, and couldn't help rolling his eyes, thinking to himself what was going on with Yang Lian, who always promised good things to others. It's just that at this time, it's hard to refute.

Li Zhenggu glanced at Chen Keyan on the side, and saw that he was covered in blood, so he couldn't help but say a few good words.

Gao Xiansi's wound has been further cared for, and after applying herbs, the situation is much better, after eating a few pieces of mutton, his face has become ruddy, and after listening to Yang Lian's words, he doesn't feel a little strange, Chen Keyan seems to have heard the name somewhere, but he can't remember it for a while.

"Deputy Envoy Li, although our army fought back for a while, the situation is still not optimistic, it is better to return to Changzhou first." Yang Lian said.

Gao Xiansi agreed very much, and said: "Deputy Envoy Li, now that the army has just been defeated, the army is panicking, it is better to return to Changzhou first and collect the defeated troops, if Qian Wenfeng continues to go north, he can also assist the defenders of Changzhou to resist Wu Yue's army." ”

Li Zhenggu nodded and said, "Pass the order, eat quickly, set off in half an hour, and return to Changzhou!" ”
