Chapter 87: We Surrender

"Woo-" The low horn sounded, sweeping through the mouth of the Sandu River in the cold wind, like the mourning music at the funeral. With the sound of the horn, the banner behind Xu Qian www.biquge.info unfurled, pointing straight to the opposite side of the appreciator.

The earth-shattering war drums suddenly sounded, and the people gathered at the mouth of the valley, no matter what their status, suddenly boiled their blood.

With the sound of drums, the 1,000 iron horsemen behind Xu Qian began to move forward slowly. Their pace was not fast, but they were neat and powerful, and in harmony with the sound of the drums, they beat the heart of the party army opposite.

The spectator's pupils constricted, and he could even clearly know when the heavy rider on the opposite side would pick up speed, when he would raise his spear and raise his saber, and at what moment the iron rider would step on the 'foot' behind him. He also knew when he should send a death squad with a long axe and halberd to cut off the legs of the Song army's horses when they had just picked up speed. When the death squad destroys the opponent's charging formation and becomes a mess, their own cavalry should take advantage of the situation to rush forward, harvest the heads, and completely eat this wave of heavy cavalry rushing up. Unfortunately, he had neither an axe nor a halberd, nor cavalry, and the only thing he could do now was to wait here, waiting for the nightmare to come.

When the cavalry was more than halfway through the charge, the drums suddenly intensified. With the beat of the drums, the speed of the cavalry charge suddenly increased.

The appreciator buried his heart horizontally, gritted his teeth, raised his arm and shouted: "When you meet you, you hold a long knife and wait for the military order!" ”

A fierce-looking man made a promise in a loud voice, and took more than a hundred people out of the ranks, and changed their long knives one after another.

Seeing that the cavalry on the opposite side was still seventy or eighty steps away from him, the admirer buried his eyes, opened them again, and said sharply: "When you meet you, rush up and cut down the horses of the Song army!" ”

When Dang Yugui shouted violently, with more than 100 people from his headquarters, he rushed towards the galloping Song cavalry with long knives in his hands.

Once the cavalry is allowed to charge into the main army formation, the overall situation is decided. No matter what the price is paid, the reward will slow down the attack speed of the Song cavalry. If you can get the cavalry to slow down in front of the formation, then there is a lot to be done.

When more than 100 people had just left the army, he heard a sharp buzzing sound, and before he could react, a "foot soldier" beside him was shot in the chest by a crossbow and fell to the ground.

At this time, only one round of arrows could be placed at a distance, and the Song army's bows and crossbows were fired in unison, and the flying locusts generally shrouded the reward team that rushed out in a rain of arrows. The heavy cavalry behind the rain of arrows did not stop at all, and the tumbling horses trampled the death squads who were shot by the bow and crossbow into the flesh, and crashed into the three thousand "foot squads" buried by the rewarders.

Sang Yi on the city tower put away his binoculars and let out a sigh of relief. The battle was decided, and the infantry armed with swords and shields were charged into the army with heavy cavalry, without any chance to fight back. Now just wait for the party army formation to be crushed, and the light cavalry next to it will follow and harvest people's heads. After half a year of preparation, the battle of Sandu Kawaguchi was nearing the end, but in the end there was no wave.

The watchtower of Anyuan Village, tall and all the same, are looking at the Yuzang flowers and hemp not far away. He also received a military order from Xu Ping, and the other Tibetan troops should not be left alone for the time being, and Yu Zang Huama must not be allowed to escape. Yu Tibetan Department is the Lan and Hui two states of the Fan tribe, once the Yu Tibetan hemp run, endless troubles. Blocking the Tibetan army that was scurrying around in the mountains in a valley was the most efficient way to fight, and if he missed this opportunity, Xu Ping didn't know if he could wait for a second time.

Yu Zang Hua Ma didn't run, and he couldn't run either. The surrounding area is full of Tibetan troops running and killing indiscriminately, all of them are dizzy, red-eyed, there is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge, Yuzang Huama can't control it at all. He could only gather his own personal soldiers, and at a place where Sandu River bends, taking advantage of the terrain facing the water on three sides, he set up a position to defend himself.

When most of the soldiers lost their strength and the situation gradually calmed down, Yu Zang Huama didn't dare to run anymore, he knew that he had been targeted to death by the Song army in Anyuan Village.

Gao Daquan looked at the sky, and said to Wang Kui, the right Marquis of Yu, who was beside him: "Marquis Yu, it is past noon at this time, the sun has passed the middle of the sky, and it can't shoot directly into the valley, and the military formation of Chong Yu and Zanghua Ma will not be dazzling." You order the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and go out to capture Yu Zanghuama. ”

Wang Kui promised with his hand, looked outside the city and said, "There are still thousands of soldiers and horses around the thief chief, but you can't underestimate it." ”

Gao Daquan said: "What's the use of too many people? Now the thief's courage is cold, his morale has been dissipated, and he has no strength to rush to kill. You don't have to punch and rush, bring more crossbowmen, and force them into the Sandu River. The water we released rushed up, and now there was a large piece of mud behind them, driving the thieves into the muddy river, and then calmly cleaning up. ”

"That's right!" Wang Kui listened to the order and began to gather his own soldiers and horses.

Before Xu Ping came, the strongest military force in Qinzhou was the Fanluo cavalry and the Qingbian crossbowmen stationed in the forbidden army, and now they are all under Sang Yi and Gao Daquan. The strength of the Guiming Shenwu Army is inferior to the Xuanwei Army, and thousands of crossbowmen can still pull it out.

Yuzang Huama's army formation faces the water on three sides, and it is of course good to guard against the chaotic Fan Falling Army to impact itself, but it is also a way out of his own retreat. Not everyone can do it for a while, and Yu Zanghua Ma will not fall to this point if he has that ability.

Gao Daquan saw that the remaining Fan army had no fighting spirit, and it might cause unnecessary losses to stimulate them violently, so he simply used a strong crossbow. Force them into the Sandu River, and those who can't drown will be caught at that time.

Wang Kui took a large group of crossbowmen out of Anyuan Village, and accompanied the light cavalry to protect the two wings. Just lined up the formation, and was about to cover up and kill the Yuzang Hua Ma Department not far away, I saw two fast horses rushing out there.

Squinting his eyes, Wang Kui asked the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to stand still for the time being, and watched the two horses arrive in front of his military formation.

A general came out of battle, stopped the two men, and said in a loud voice, "Who is coming?" Why come? ”

One of them has white hair and wrinkled faces, and the other is about 20 years old, and the smell of milk has not dried.

After listening to the general's question, the old man stepped forward and said with a bitter face: "This general, our king knows that the general trend has gone, and he is willing to join the clan. I just asked the court to read that he was confused for a while and made a big mistake. ”

The general was stunned for a moment, where can he be the master of such a big thing? Said to the two: "You wait here first, I'll go back and report to Marquis Yu, take the idea, and then deal with it!" ”

After speaking, he turned his horse's head and returned to his own military formation, leaving only two people, an old man and a young man, waiting there anxiously.

Wang Kui listened to the general's report and frowned: "These thieves are already in our pocket, and it is good to surrender at this time!" What kind of family belongs, where in the world is there such a good thing! If you are defeated, you will be attached, how to deter the Tibetan people! ”

Just about to refuse, remembering that he was only the right Marquis of the army, he didn't dare to make a decision, and said to the general: "You go to the village, tell the governor what you just said again, let the commander make a decision, and then report it to me!" ”

The general answered the promise and turned around and ran towards the village.

Wang Kui and Xu Qian's experience is almost the same, he was originally the Marquis of Yu, the Straight Du of the Palace, and the same was Zhao Zhenyan and the Imperial Palace, and he chose to send Qin Fenglu to be the Marquis of Youyu who was tall and complete. As a high-ranking officer who was parachuted in, with Xu Ping's status in the court, he didn't dare to be too ostentatious, and he had no place to shout grievances when Xu Ping took the flag to sacrifice.

Qin Fenglu's reform of the military system requires a large number of middle and senior officers, and it is impossible for the Privy Council to let Xu Ping blindly promote his own people. In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Ping would not do that, and most of them still had to be transferred from the Central Forbidden Army. Zhao Zhen's most familiar officers are all kinds of palace officials, as well as the imperial front loyal assistant, and the commanders are all personally selected and sent by Zhao Zhen.

In a sense, Qin Fenglu's army, system and frame were determined by Xu Ping, and most of the officers filled in were Zhao Zhen's own cronies. It is precisely because of this that Xu Ping is more able to strictly enforce military discipline and military law. is originally selfless, and there is no problem of favoritism, and if anyone dares to sue Xu Ping for his black state, Zhao Zhen himself will feel embarrassed.

Gao Daquan listened to the general's report, sank his face and said: "At this time, Yu Zanghua Ma still dares to use the word "attached", I really don't know how to write the word 'death'!" You go back, let the Liangfan dismount, go to the armor, abandon the staff, and come to see me in the village!" ”

The general answered the promise, turned over his horse, and galloped out of the village.

The two people listened to the general's words, and the young one blushed and said, "How can it be reasonable! In this case, we are not as good as a captive! We are people, the knife does not leave the body, it is a big deal to fight to the death! ”

The general had already received Gao Daquan's order, and waved his hand and said: "If you want to fight to the death, you just have to do it yourself!" At this time, it is not early, we said, hurry up and finish the fight, the army is good to bury the pot and cook, don't let the army go hungry! ”

Seeing the general's resolute attitude, the old man hurriedly said: "We came here to belong sincerely, how can we turn our faces because of such a trivial matter?" This general, we are just two people, what can we do in the midst of thousands of troops? How about you go back and tell me about it, and go to the harsh like this? Otherwise, we have no shame to go back to see our people, and we have no shame to see the king! ”

"Dismount, remove your armor, abandon your staff, otherwise if you dare to take a step forward, you will shoot arrows and kill them! When I see you, I have already read the virtue of a good life, and I don't want to do more killing, but I still want to make inches, but there is only one dead word! ”

Hearing this, the green tendons on the young man's forehead burst out, and his hand involuntarily grasped the steel knife at his waist. The old man hurriedly held it down and said in a low voice: "The king's life is at stake, why bother fighting for these idleness? As long as we get rid of this misfortune today, what if we suffer some grievances? Today, we all die here, and there is no place for the Yuzang Ministry! ”

The young man exhaled heavily, his hand slowly left the hilt, and said in a deep voice: "Ah Weng said so, then follow these Song people. One day, I will have to take revenge and wash away this insult! This time we were careless and unfortunately fell for the tricks of the Song people, and let's see how long they can be rampant! ”
