The sky of the grassland is no different from that of the Central Plains, the difference lies in the scenery. From the first step of following the army and stepping on the grassland with both feet, Yang Chongba has appreciated the scenery that he has never seen in the first half of his life. Since ancient times, the main army in autumn, and the grassland people who use war horses as a weapon of war, pay more attention to the autumn high horse fat, this time stepping on the grassland, Yang Chongba did not see the wind blowing the grass and saw the cattle and sheep, but first saw the fierceness of the Khitan military horses.

It is said that Li Min is the coldest time of the day before and after, but today Yang Chongba does not have such a feeling at all, the red sun is rising, Yang Chongba, who has been fighting all night with the army, stood up on the battlefield full of corpses, he wiped a handful of blood on his face, inserted the heavy horizontal knife in his hand into the ground, and sat on the wreckage of a chariot exhausted, every movement made his muscles sore and unbearable, and his wounds were painful. The moment An An sat down steadily, Yang Chongba, who had fought fiercely for the rest of his life, turned his head to look at the red sun on the edge of the battlefield, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on his face, at this time he felt a burst of unforgettable happiness.

The weeds and dirt at his feet had been dyed scarlet, the corpses of both the enemy and the enemy were layered on top of each other, and a few crows sounded in the distance, as if they were real and illusory, and groups of Tang cavalry galloped past from far and near, and the corpses kept spasming under the iron hooves.

Compared with the earth-shaking fighting sound last night, today's Li Min is extraordinarily quiet. In such a quiet place, feeling alive is really nothing happier for a soldier. Yang Chongba touched the head of the Khitan commander on his waist, and a relieved and satisfied smile bloomed on his face - not to mention, there is such a military feat.

Today's morning sun makes people feel full of hope, Yang Chongba seems to have seen his tomorrow: well-fed and warmly dressed, has a house, not to mention brocade clothes and food, at least he can live a personal life, and when he catches up with Ming'er to go to the grave of his ancestors, he can also straighten his chest.

He was really satisfied.

During the Battle on the River last year, Yang Chongba was still the Liang army, and after the military camp was broken by the night attack of the Hundred Battles Army, he took the initiative to surrender to the Hundred Battles Army when he had nowhere to go. At that time, although the Hundred Battles Army was also strong, neither the quality of the soldiers nor the weapons and equipment could be compared with the present. In the past two years in Youzhou, the strength of Taoguang's obscure Hundred Battles Army has already risen to a new level. Yang Chongba will not forget what kind of damage they inflicted on the Khitan army in the previous garrison battles, with their thick armor and arrows. If not, how could they easily hold the camp?

Yang Chongba stroked the knife marks on the breastplate, and the uneven and distinct marks showed the strength of this knife, remembering the knife cut by the Khitan commander last night, Yang Chongba's heart palpitated. In all fairness, the speed of his sword was not faster than the other party, and even a beat slower, but the reason why the last person to die was the other party and not himself was because his thick armor blocked the blow that the other party was determined to get, while the opponent's armor failed to block his blade.

In a similar situation, among the officers and men of the Tang Army who participated in the battle last night, there were countless numbers.

As an ordinary soldier, whether he lives or dies on the battlefield is full of countless inevitability and accidents, even if it is a victorious army, it is inevitable that soldiers will die in battle. However, the army of the soldiers can increase or decrease the probability of casualties among the soldiers, and even save them in many mortal situations. Being able to be in such an army is an extremely fortunate thing for every soldier.

Yang Chongba was very glad that he was in the Hundred Battles Army, if he had been in another army, he would probably have died last night, in that case, he should be a cold corpse now, lying in the middle of a group of Khitan barbarians, waiting for his comrades to come and collect the burial.

For Yang Chongba, it was the victory of the Hundred Battles Army that allowed him to survive, and for the Hundred Battles Army, it was the survival and victory of ordinary soldiers that formed the victory of this army. In this battle with the Khitan army, a large part of the reason why the Tang army was able to win in the end was this.

After resting for a while, Yang Chongba, who was relieved, was about to lift his knife and get up, when a wine bag smashed into his arms. Seeing the wine bag at this time, the timing couldn't be more appropriate, Yang Chongba's eyes lit up, and he didn't even care about where the wine bag came from, so he couldn't wait to raise his head and pour it.

Although it was a cow drink, the wine was not spilled, he was just an ordinary soldier, he couldn't afford much wine, and there were not many opportunities to drink freely, so he was reluctant to waste half a point.

The person who threw the wine to Yang Chongba had bright armor, although it was also covered with blood stains, but he was still handsome and extraordinary, sitting down next to Yang Chongba, he drank much more freely, and at least half a mouthful of wine had to flow out of the corner of his mouth, looking at the messy battlefield, his eyes were a little confused, and he whispered: "Drunk and lying on the battlefield, don't smile, a few people have come back to fight in ancient times." ”

When Yang Chongba saw him, his originally intoxicated expression immediately became nervous, and he hurriedly got up and saluted, "General!" ”

Meng Ping waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to be formal, glanced at his waist, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are also covered in blood, just a human head?" ”

Yang Chongba sat down again, and explained with a smile when he heard the words: "I was too eager to fight last night, and I patronized the killing, so I didn't care about cutting off people's heads, but the general should not underestimate this human head, this is a barbarian commander!" ”

"Oh? That's good. Meng Ping nodded, appreciative.

Yang Chongba didn't forget to seize the opportunity to continue drinking, he asked: "General, the barbarians are in a big rout, why do you have time to drink here and not pursue?" ”

"Pursuit, that's the cavalry's business, where can our foot outrun them?"

"To say that the gentleman is also holding his breath this time, some time ago when he fought with the Khitan outside the camp, the gentleman failed to break through the Khitan horse army formation, forcing the army to be unable to win the battle, and had to retreat to the camp to hold on, I heard that General Guo was also scolded by the military marshal?"

Meng Ping smiled faintly and said, "Do you really think that the gentlemen didn't defeat the Khitan horse army that day, and even the gentlemen can't?" ”

"Isn't it?" Yang Chongba was stunned.

"Of course not." Meng Ping said, "A gentleman can't break the formation, and the real army commander won't allow it." If it weren't for the fact that he was showing weakness step by step in the early stage of the war, how could he make Yelu want to hide that it was not difficult to defeat our army? If it weren't for the fact that the Khitan army had consumed a lot of military strength in attacking the camp for days and days, and the soldiers were tired, how could Lu Long's army have the opportunity to run for hundreds of miles and kill by surprise, so as to defeat the Khitan army in one fell swoop? From hanging outside the country, from the battle to the camp, and then to being breached by the Khitan army several times, our army seems to be in a desperate situation step by step, but in fact, all this is just the calculation of the military commander and Mr. Mo. The art of war is virtual and real, what can be shown is not, what is used and what is not used, what is lured by profit, what is taken from chaos, what is taken by surprise, and what is unprepared is the way to defeat the enemy! ”

The gentlemen are well-equipped, well-trained, have experienced many battles, and have both wisdom and courage as the commander, can they break the Khitan army several times their own, but they will never be as suppressed as the day before yesterday, and they can only retreat in embarrassment.

Yang Chongba was shocked by the truth in Meng Ping's mouth, and was even more surprised by Li Congjing and Mo Li's old scheming, and remembered that the Hundred Battles Army was not only strong, but also must be the first in battle, and was silent for a long time, and could only sigh: "The military commander is really a god!" ”

Meng Ping smiled slightly, and his tone was a little relaxed, "The battle here is over, and the army will go to the next battlefield next." This expedition, the mission is far from complete, and there are still many opportunities. patted Yang Chongba's shoulder, stood up, and encouraged: "In the future, I will kill the enemy, after the war, I will recommend you to enter the Martial Arts Academy, and when you leave the Martial Arts Academy, you are also expected to be like the military marshal and Mr. Mo, you can fight and strategize, or you can often win on the battlefield." ”

Hearing the three words of the Martial Arts Academy, Yang Chongba's spirits perked up, and he couldn't care about drinking the wine, so he got up and saluted excitedly, "Thank you, General!" ”

At this moment, Meng Ping is not only his main general, leading him to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but also his Bole, which can make him have a bright future. Meng Ping walked away with his back to the rising sun, and the morning sun gilded his armor with a layer of gold, which became more and more dazzling in Yang Chongba's eyes. The Lord will have every soldier, but Bole only has a very few lucky people to meet, and the people at the bottom are indispensable to climb up. Yang Chongba, who was valued, quietly clenched his fists and made up his mind that he would follow Meng Ping in the future and make contributions on the battlefield.

A team of brightly armored cavalrymen rushed from a distance with a crowd, slowing down more than a dozen paces away, the first one rode brightly with bright light armor, the black cloak fluttered like a belt, and his face was calm and cold, seeing Meng Ping, who was watched by Yang Chongba, he grabbed the reins of the horse, and wrote lightly: "Meng Ping, come here." ”

Meng Ping immediately responded, quickly trotted over, saluted solemnly in front of the man and horse, looked up at the other party and said respectfully: "What do you command?" ”

What the two sides said, Yang Chongba was far away, he couldn't hear clearly, he could only see that after Meng Ping got the instructions, he immediately stepped on the war horse, turned from a foot soldier to a cavalry, and galloped away with the other party's cavalry.

When the cavalry rushed past the front, Yang Chongba turned around and watched them go away. His eyes were complicated and full of awe, for he knew that the man who commanded his lord was none other than their commander.

The one who dominates this battlefield, the fate of their Tang Army soldiers, and the fate of the enemy soldiers.

There is no absolute truth in this world, and all conclusions have their conditions. Sometimes the truth is like a delicacy that everyone grabs about, and sometimes it is like that comes out and is worthless. After defeating Yelu Xiangyin, the two armies of Baizhan and Lulong followed Li Congjing's order to raise the cavalry of the three armies and chase and kill in all directions.

Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, this is Li Congjing's definition of this battle. If the Youzhou army wants to aid the Bohai Sea, it must pull out the nail of Yelu Xiangyin, and it is far from enough to defeat the Khitan army of Yannan and Yingzhou, not to mention the destruction of these 50,000 barbarians, at least let them completely lose their combat power, and they can no longer stop the pace of the Youzhou army to the north.

In addition to the elite cavalry pursuing the Khitan army, Li Congjing ordered the infantry to clean up the battlefield, bury the dead on the spot, and send the wounded back to Jizhou.

When Yelu wanted to hide and finally escaped the pursuit of the Tang army, there were only dozens of horsemen around him, and most of the generals and staff members in his army were separated on the way to being chased and killed by the Tang army. Jerod knew what it meant to be separated at such a time. Yannan has been lost, and Yelu can only retreat to Yingzhou.

"Yannan was broken, although it was a great loss, but as long as Yingzhou was held, Li Congjing still couldn't go north. Kuchi is also fast, you are good at guarding the city, there are still thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, we can't hold it out, forgive him Li Congjing can't help me, as long as Li Congjing is dragged to next year, when the emperor breaks the Bohai Kingdom, the army will come back, and we will definitely have a chance to destroy Li Congjing! ”

On the way, Yelu wanted to hide this and said to Kuchi quickly.

When Yelu Xiangyin finally saw the city wall of Yingzhou, what he didn't expect was that he also saw the Tang army besieging the city.

He fell from his horse, and Jerod was almost desperate.
