Chapter 509: Entering the Enemy Territory

Jingzhao Mansion, forty miles west of Wugong County, on the north bank of Weishui, densely packed with people, gathered into a long dragon, is traveling westward. Although this team does not have a unified outfit and standard equipment, it is obviously not a rabble. They marched in an orderly formation, and the leader of the horses pressed against the formation, and they could not do it to this extent without a certain amount of training.

Because it is located in the west of the Guanzhong Plain, it is fertile for hundreds of miles, but now it is the border of Song and Han, and the thieves who come out of Jingzhao Mansion often attack and harass, so at a glance, the fertile land is barren, no one cultivates, and the weeds in the field grow half a person high, which is very desolate.

This army of about 25 to 3,000 men, although most of them were foot soldiers, but a cavalry of about two or three hundred also accompanied the long march of the infantry army. The knights, who were almost unarmoured, had spears in their hands and bows and arrows in their saddles, and if they were horse bandits, then they were already capable of storming cities. If you look closely, you will see that among the marching foot soldiers, there are people carrying simple siege equipment such as ladders and flying bridges.

"The owner of the village, it's been thirty or forty miles since you came out, for insurance, do you want to let the rangers out?" A big man, in his forties, wrapped in an iron armor with a straight jacket, no helmet, holding cuffs, making a mace, sitting on a green horse, extremely fierce.

"Is it necessary? It is reported that there are only one or two hundred regular troops in Fufeng County. "The owner of the village is only in his thirties, but he is neatly dressed, with iron bones and a gloomy expression.

"Having said that, yesterday someone was blocked by the Fufeng Army, and there were many casualties. What if the Western Army is reinforced? The man who made the mace said.

"It's true, if you transfer troops from Zhu Jiguan to reinforce Fufeng, half a day is enough. It's better to be careful, pie. The owner of the village nodded.

At the sound of the order, a dozen horsemen left the brigade and ran straight west, opening their eyes for the main force. The owner of the village passed down another order, and marched at full speed while the sun was still not poisonous. As a result, he didn't go for a while, and suddenly saw the rangers sent out galloping back to the village lord and stopping his horse, frowning and asking, "What's the alarm?" ”

"The Horse Army has been found ahead of the lord of the village," the knights shouted.

The villager's face changed, and he found Ma Jun? Could it be that the cavalry of the Purple Gold Tiger is coming? As soon as he thought of this, he quickly asked, "How many?" ”

"Not much, after dozens of horses have encountered me, there has been no change, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's also stepping on the white striker," one of the thief riders replied loudly.

When the man with the tooth wolf stick heard this, he hurriedly persuaded: "The master of the village, we met the horse army not far away from our martial arts, and the other party was obviously prepared. Hurry up and don't stay for a moment."

It's good to bump into the horse army as soon as it comes out, it's not a good sign, Fufeng can't go this autumn wind can't beat it Thinking of this, he shouted loudly: "Order, withdraw the same way"

"Not only that, but I have to send the cavalry back immediately to report the news, I guess it will be ...... today," said the mace, shaking his head with a solemn face.

Seeing him like this, the owner of the village sank in his heart, and shouted again: "The fast rear team will change to the front team, and retreat at full speed."

The two or three of them reacted quickly, they all turned around, and the back team changed to the front team and started running. Officers on horsebacks brandished their weapons and kept shouting at the troops to return the way they came. After a while, they ran into dust, covering the sky and the sun. A small group of cavalry took the lead and rushed in the direction of martial arts to report the news.

After running for about two or three miles, there was no abnormal situation behind him, but the owner of the village was even more panicked. If the cavalry of the Purple Golden Tiger really drove to the border, my two-legged infantry army would not be able to outrun his four-legged horse army

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly heard the exclamation behind him and suddenly looked back, and secretly screamed that it was not good to pass through the dust, and he suddenly found that a cavalry was coming at a gallop and gradually launched an attack when it was running and charging, and the formation was broken, and it really ran into the horse army of the Purple Golden Tiger

Chased behind by a large number of cavalry, listening to the earth-shattering hoof, the horror in my heart can be imagined. At first, the thieves were able to maintain their formation, but when the pursuers appeared, they did not care about these at all, and left the brigade one after another, only caring about running fast for themselves

"Those who flee quickly are not good" made the mace man roar at the owner of the village, desperately urging the war horse to flee eastward. The owner of the village didn't even care about his team, and he didn't think about it, so he hit the horse's ass hard and ran for his life. They ran fast, but they suffered the infantry under them, although they were scattered, how could they outrun the cavalry?

The sound of breaking the sky suddenly sounded, and the cavalry behind them took their bows, and they didn't need to aim at all, and when a large area of targets in front of them sounded, the thieves fell down and threw down their corpses.

The knight at the front, about forty years old, extremely tall, afraid that he would wear a straight jacket if he was eight feet, so that an iron spear more than a foot long, his face was thin, his eyes were inverted, and his face was fierce, if he was not mistaken, this person should be a famous warrior under Xu Wei, Yang Zaixing.

He galloped in front of the thousand troops, directly in front, a thief soldier pulled his legs and ran wildly to catch up with him, a shot killed the war horse did not stop at all, and broke into the chaos of the army just like a tiger into the flock, the iron spear flew over, the blood and flesh splashed with the power of thunder The cavalry came like a giant hammer, instantly crushing the fleeing enemy

The sound of wailing resounded throughout the four fields, and the thieves who were caught up by the cavalry did not think of resisting at all, but only hated that the grandmother did not give birth to one more leg and fell to the ground one after another, from west to east, on the north bank of Weishui, and soon covered with corpses

The bandit leaders who were running and fleeing, looking back, were only shocked to break out in a cold sweat, because what they saw was that their 3,000 foot soldiers, under the cover of the cavalry, quickly split apart, covering the rolling iron hooves, and the other party did not stop at all, and pursued them closely

It's over, the infantry army is all over, the owner of the village threw away the heavy iron bones, held the reins with both hands, and hated to fly the horse up Mother, how could he carry it like this, and just met so many horse troops as soon as he came out? Is the other party waiting for me to come? Before he could figure it out, the sound of hooves was getting closer

"Whoosh" a white feather flew by, so frightened that the owner of the village shrunk his neck, quickly stuck to the horse's back, quickly took off the bow and arrow, turned his head upside down, and pulled the string to a round sound, and when the string sounded, a cavalryman behind him instantly fell from the horse

Yang Zaixing chased after him in a hurry, and shouted loudly under his head: "Yang Commandery, it's almost the border"

"It doesn't matter if you haven't seen hundreds of good horses," Yang Zaixing howled and chased after him

There is no suspense in this pursuit at all, Yang Zaixing led several times the opponent's Chosen Horse Army, not to mention the victory, if it can't be completely annihilated, it will be considered a shameless face

Not far ahead, the boundary monument erected in the name of the pseudo-Han Shaanxi Xuanfu Division is already in sight. But neither the deserters nor the pursuers took it seriously. There was a bang, and they all rushed over

"Damn, I really want to kill them all" The owner of the village looked back and saw that the pursuers still did not give up, and only looked forward to arriving at Wugong County as soon as possible. No matter how ruthless you are, you won't be able to attack the city, right?

Yang Zaixing really didn't want to attack the city, and besides, he couldn't do it, he just wanted to kill these birds, if it didn't work, he would also watch them flee into Wugong City, which was repeatedly instructed by the above. The first two or three hundred, the riding skills are not bad, and the war horses are not inferior, and they have chased at least ten miles, but they can't catch up for a while

After a while, I saw the outline of the city in front of me from a distance, and I thought that martial arts were not far away. Yang Zaixing still did not give the order to stop, and rushed out a few hundred steps, he suddenly raised his spear and pulled the horse's head to the side. Behind him, a thousand horses followed him and stopped

The knights were drenched in sweat, and their horses were running with their noses churning and their hooves moving. Not far away, someone was already in formation. A typical Song army formation, with pikes and armor guarding bows and arrows, riding on both wings. Judging by eyesight, there should be more than 5,000 troops.

The two or three hundred cavalry thieves who had slipped through the net did not dare to stop for a moment, and swept past the army, and actually went straight to the city

"Yang Commandery, what should I do?" The general asked, gasping.

Yang Zaixing put the gun away, raised his head and said, "Take a look." ”

"See what?" The general asked.

"Just look, what else can you see?" Yang Zaixing stared at him.

In that military array, holding a "high" flag, the emperor of the puppet Han is surnamed Gao, could it be that the leader of the army, or the imperial relatives of the puppet dynasty? The soldiers were watching, and the left flank of the opponent rushed out of several horses, and Yang Zaixing was bold, and urged the war horse to go out to meet him.

The two sides were separated by more than a dozen steps before stopping, and among the horses, an officer protested and asked, "Are you Xu Wei's troops?" How dare you violate my borders? ”

Yang Zaixing glanced at him, raised his spear and pointed behind them and asked, "Who is the leader of the army when you pick a 'high' flag in that formation?" ”

"So that you know that the leader of the army is the saint's own nephew, the petty official of the Qi Palace, and the deputy head of the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhao Mansion, Gao Wan," the officer said solemnly. Gao Shiyou's brother Gao Xiaogong was named the king of Qi, so this Gao Wan should be Gao Xiaogong's son.

Yang Zaixing listened to it and took a sip, what kind of bullshit is the king of Qi, but he is just a lackey who guards the house for the Jurchens, and said loudly at the moment: "The thieves have invaded the territory, I was ordered by my boss to suppress the bandits, and now this deserted enemy has fled into Wugong County, what?" So all these thieves belong to you? ”

"What thief? Didn't see it. Mr. Gao, you wait to break into our Korean border, just retreat early, if not, the soldiers will meet each other."

Yang Zaixing didn't bother to talk to him, thinking that I had defeated this gang of thieves, and I saw them enter Wugong County with my own eyes, and the task had been accomplished. The marshal didn't say that I would fight in the enemy territory, and I could withdraw. made up his mind, ignored the other party, turned the horse's head and ran back, raised his spear as he ran, and with a wave of his move, the thousand knights who chose the front pulled the reins, turned around, and galloped westward, and after a while, they all disappeared......

At this end, Gao Wan also collected his troops and returned to the city. On the festival hall, he took off his armor and said to the generals: "Although the tiger is defeated, its majesty is as strong as yesterday when I watched his horse army, which is extremely majestic, and it is not worse than the Jurchens" Gao Wannian is only twenty or three, and has been fighting with his father for a long time, and has participated in the battle of besieging Tokyo, and is quite famous in the Korean army.

"In the past few months, our side has sent many Ukrainian raids to disturb its territory. Now Xu Wei is obviously angry, and he is prepared, if he goes again, I am afraid he will not be pleased. Admiral Aribu reminded.

Gao Wan nodded frequently: "This is very true, I should be clear to Liu Xuanfu." At this point, he glanced at the full hall of generals, and finally his gaze fell on one person.

He is also in his early twenties, seven feet long, although he is ranked last, but his popularity is high, his eyes are like stars, his shoulders are wide and his waist is thin, he is neatly draped, and he is majestic

"Shifu, I'll ask you to go to Chang'an, meet with Xuanfu Xianggong, and explain the matter here." Gao Wan commanded.

The general's name is Li Shifu, who was originally an officer of the Yan Shuai Division, the Jin army captured Yan'an, he and his father both followed Zhang Shen to surrender Jin, and won the trust of Zhang Wei, and now under Gao Wan's account, he is a commander. At the moment, he said: "Humble obedience." ”

Chang'an, pseudo-Han Shaanxi Xuanfu Division.

Since the evacuation of Chang'an, the household registration has decreased sharply, and when the Jin army entered the city, there were only more than 2,000 households in the city. Today's Chang'an City is no longer prosperous in the past. All industries are depressed, and the market is deserted. Only the soldiers of the Jin Army and the Korean Army patrolled back and maintained a high pressure.

In the Xuanfu Division, the team is neatly deserved, from the Xuanfu ambassador Liu Yu onwards, all the senators, staff officers, office work, supervisors of timing, writing letters, preparing to send, and preparing to send envoys are all the same as the Song system. Liu Yu because he was the prime minister of the puppet dynasty, so he went out of the town, according to the Song system, not called "Xuanfu Envoy", but "Xuanfu Ambassador". But also according to the Song system, there is no reason to go back to the center when he goes out of the town with the respect of Zaizhi, and I don't know if Liu Yu offended Gao Shiyou, so he was sent to Shaanxi.

Liu Yu was originally the prefect of Jinan in the Zhao Song Dynasty, and the Jin army was in the city, and he killed the brave general Guan Sheng and surrendered, which was notorious all over the world. At this time, this Zhao Song traitor did not live in the second hall, but under the melon stand in the backyard garden, he sat on a reclining chair, shook a folding fan, and enjoyed the cold comfortably. Occasionally, pinch a crispy pear and put it in your mouth and chew it gently, which makes it taste good.

Gao Xiaogong was crowned the king of Qi, Li Zhi was crowned the king of Taiyuan County, and when the Jurchens took down the entire territory of Shaanxi, do I have to be crowned a king?

Just thinking about this beautiful thing, an adjutant officer entered and reported: "Xuan Xiang, Li Shifu, the commander under the account of the high manager, asked to see him, saying that he had an urgent report. ”

Although Gao Wan is the beloved son of King Qi, he is a brave and resourceful, ambitious and talented person, what urgent matters can he have? continued to rock the recliner, and after a while, Liu Yucai said: "Let him come in, there are many things." ”

The adjutant took the order and left, and after a while, led Li Shifu in. The latter stepped forward to greet each other: "Humble Li Shifu, I have seen Xuanfu Xianggong." ”

Liu Yu lay down and didn't move, didn't even raise his eyelids, and asked lazily, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to Xuanfu Xianggong, yesterday, in the name of suppressing bandits, some Western troops crossed the border and approached the city of Wugong. was frightened by our army's formation, and the general manager sent his humble post to pay homage to the minister, and asked for instructions, should you stop attacking Fengxiang? Li Shifu said.

Only then did Liu Yu open his eyes: "Straight to Wugong County?" How many people came? ”

"All of them are horse troops, when there are more than 1,000 horsemen, and after the statistics, more than 2,000 of our people were captured in battle." Li Shifu replied.

Liu Yu closed the fan and bounced it off the chair. Not only was this man not tall, but he even appeared a little short. The straight jacket was worn on him, and it looked a little fat. His beard is half white, and he always frowns when he looks at people.

"More than 2,000 people? From this point of view, Xu Hu'er still has considerable strength. Liu Yu groaned.

"After its defeat in Yanzhou, it should still retain a certain strength if it is not lost to defend Fengxiang." Li Shifu echoed.
