Chapter 171: Rushing to Yang Biao's aid
(a)
When Lamu was pierced by the arrows of the Han army in Linshui, you and Wu Shun led the 1,000 hussars of the two combined divisions of Qingfeng Village and Linshui Town, and entered the grassland area again, silently appearing behind the Wendamu tribe more than 600 miles west of Linshui. At that time, more than 10,000 people of the Wendamu Department were violently attacking the northernmost important pass of the Northern Han Dynasty: Wangyuan Pass.
If it weren't for the ramus that forced you to rush back to Linshui, you would have been here.
After the new Han army you led appeared on the battlefield of all sides, it greatly extended the radius of the Han army's battle. Now the radius of the Han army's operations is often thousands or even thousands of miles long. The elite cavalry you have cultivated has covered all the Beihu units in the entire grassland at once, and all of them are within the range that the Han army can attack at any time. The core interests of the Beihu tribes were all exposed to the iron horseshoes of the Han army.
Now the combat range of the Han army has surpassed that of the enemy army in one fell swoop. Although the enemy army could soar thousands of miles in a day and attack the passes of the Han people's northern front on all fronts, they could not continue to give full play to the advantages of cavalry after penetrating deep into the Han border. They faced the stubborn resistance of the Han people's countless tall cities. You, on the other hand, have no barrier to the enemy once you reach the steppe, and must face the challenge of your cavalry riding straight into the camp, and must accept the high-intensity combat you inflicted.
Starting from the intensive battle of "entering the grassland", you have brought the essence of cavalry tactics into full play. You are more active, faster, more precise and more free to play than the Beihu tribes.
Although you urgently returned to Linshui and arranged for the four Han armies there to encircle and fight, the idea that you would strike hard at Dasuo's soft underbelly and completely force him to completely change his combat intentions has never changed. After deploying the Battle of the Waterfront, you decide to go ahead and put this idea into practice.
Wendamu has no idea that he has become your next target. He never imagined that you would lead the Southern Han army to risk the punishment of treason and surrender to the enemy, and boldly go to the rescue of the city of the Northern Han king. Since Liu Shen and Liu Yan brothers had disputes because of the succession to the throne, each set up their own gates, and divided their territories, in the face of the attack of Beihu, the two Han Dynasty rarely fought together, usually fighting separately, not caring for each other, and in the most extreme case, the two sides will also fall into each other's grounds, destroying the effect of each other's resistance to Beihu. Therefore, at that time, Wen Damu was going all out to command the vicious battle of besieging Wangyuan Pass, and he never imagined that Liu Yan, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, would rush out of the oblique thorn and copy his own back road.

Yang Biao, the guard general under Liu Shen, the king of the Han Dynasty in Wangyuan, was also a famous general in the Han army at that time. He and Sun Zhanming's experiences are very similar, he was born as a civilian, started as a soldier, and rose through the ranks step by step with his outstanding military exploits. He is younger, more aggressive, and has a more active fighting style than Sun Zhanming. Among the many generals of the New Han Army later, Yang Biao, whether it is the actual combat level, combat style, or even the purpose of using troops, is the closest to you. You and he are military confidants. In terms of tactical ability alone, you and him are evenly matched. Liu Shen, the king of the Northern Han Dynasty, deserves to be a good man, and he put Yang Biao, the most capable dark horse, in the most critical place of the chessboard. He gave Yang Biao a high degree of autonomy and decision-making, and did not exercise any military supervision, defense, or restraint on him.
Under the leadership of Yang Biao, Wangyuan Pass was guarded as impregnable, and the impact of Beihu over the years has not once begged for a bargain under Wangyuan Pass. Wangyuan Pass has become a famous and difficult bone on the northern front.
Therefore, in this round of southern invasion, the Beji people pressed the border with heavy troops on Wangyuan Pass, which exerted the greatest pressure on Yang Biao. The number of troops of the Wendamu Department was the largest in the history of the attack on Wangyuan Pass, and they quickly surrounded Wangyuan Pass.
In the face of the black and oppressive enemy army under the city, Yang Biao did not mess up at all, he stubbornly held the city, and had resisted many rounds of fierce attacks by Wendamu. Although he suffered heavy casualties, Yang Biao himself has always been undiminished. In order to boost morale and deter the enemy, Yang Biao personally led the team at night, went out of the city many times, and under the cover of darkness, went around to the suburbs to carry out night attacks on the enemy camp, and even killed only more than 700 meters away from the Wendamu tent.
Yang Biao's bravery made Wen Damu feel very unsafe. After changing the location of the command post several times, Wendam finally decided to retreat the headquarters once and for all to the bottom of a small hill about 20 miles from the battlefield. After the relocation of the command post was completed, he ordered a meeting of the military leaders of the various units under his jurisdiction to be held in the big tent. He had no idea that danger would come from the grassland behind him.

After quietly arriving on the grassland north of Wangyuan Pass, you sent a reconnaissance team to capture a few enemy sentries in the dark of night, and after interrogation, you learned that Wendamu was convening a military meeting and that the command post was very close to your location.
You are overjoyed: "This is really heaven helping me, so that all their officers have gathered, and how many things have saved me!" ”
You immediately seized this God-given opportunity and led your team to attack Wendamu's new command post like a tiger in the mountains.
When the enemy sentries saw a procession coming from the rear, and the men and horses in front of them were wearing their own armor, they thought it was the entourage of one of their generals who had arrived for a military meeting, and they did not pay any attention to it.
When you marched to a distance of only 800 meters from the camp, the sentry was suddenly surprised to find that in addition to the forward, the horses behind the horse team were actually the clothes of the Southern Han army! He couldn't believe his eyes anyway!
Just when he was stunned, the New Han army fully increased the speed of its horses and launched a frontal charge of thunderbolts. A pale yellow cloud of smoke suddenly rose from that direction, and in an instant the dust covered the sky, and the whole galloping horse team swept into the sky like a sudden sandstorm. The wind and clouds changed color, and the earth trembled.
The Sentinel had been in the army for many years, and he had never seen such an imposing frontal charge. Under the extreme shock, he was so frightened that his heart and gall were broken, and his legs were weak. After a second or two of dumbfounding, he forgot about the normal handling procedure, and driven by his escape instinct, he shouted all the way, "Han Army!" Han Army! He turned around and turned his horse and galloped towards the big tent of Vindamu.
However, the horses of the New Han Army were so fast as lightning fast that their horses far outnumbered the speed of the sentinels.
Before the sentry could reach the tent of Wendamu, he was chased by the swept Han horse team from behind.
Wu Shun, who was running at the front, waved his hand and split the sentry in half.
As the sentry's body fell to the ground on the left and right, his screams echoed over the camp.
