Chapter 51: The Newcomer Fights

Xu Ning went up the mountain and began to say, and the whole army increased the basic marksmanship of the hook and sickle gun in the training.

After a few days, it was Hu Yanzhuo who led the troops, and Chao Gai decisively selected a thousand elites from the Liangshan army, handed them over to Xu Ning to command, and practiced at dawn and night.

However, it was said that after Hu Yanzhuo received the order of the Privy Council, he rushed to Tokyo to meet Cai Jing within a time limit.

Hu Yanzhuo also learned that Dongping Mansion failed to exterminate Liangshan Caokou, but was taken advantage of the situation to rob the city. didn't dare to be careless at the moment, and recommended Yum General Han Tao and Tianmu General Peng Xi to be the main and deputy pioneers.

Cai Jing was also happy when he saw that Hu Yanzhuo was cautious in using troops, and immediately asked people to transfer Han Tao and Peng Xi to Beijing.

When the three of them arrived, they performed martial arts in the imperial teaching field, Cai Jing was relieved to see it, and ordered the three of them to go back to transfer local soldiers and horses.

The soldiers and horses in the three places were just about to be transferred, but it was just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival in Tokyo, and in order to prevent mutiny, soldiers and horses from all over the country were not allowed to enter the Gyeonggi area.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the soldiers and horses of the three places were pulled out and rushed to Tokyo to gather. Therefore, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was no news about Tokyo.

Cai Jing glanced at the soldiers and horses, rewarded the three armies, and set aside the armor and horses.

Hu Yanzhuo saw that Cai Jing was eager for revenge, and he was in a high position, so he asked for 3,000 war horses with a big mouth.

You must know that after the founding of the Zhao and Song dynasties, there has been a shortage of horses, and the armies around the country are only scattered horse troops, even the Tokyo Tiansi Prison has a total of only 20,000 war horses.

Although the Huyan family has an ironclad chain horse training method, it is a pity that they have not been able to form an army because of the lack of war horses. This time, he seized the opportunity to ask for three thousand war horses at once, and if he succeeded in destroying Liangshan, he could take the opportunity to ask Cai Jing for these war horses, and then the Huyan family's ironclad chain horses could reappear.

It's a pity that the training of ironclad chain horses is too time-consuming, and these 3,000 war horses can only be used as ordinary war horses, and the only serial horse army that can go to the battlefield this time is a hundred horses under his own command.

The armor was neatly allocated, and the soldiers and horses left Tokyo.

The front army opened the road to Han Tao, the main general of the Chinese army Hu Yanzhuo, and the rear army urged Peng Xi to kill Benliang Mountain.

As soon as the soldiers and horses of the three roads entered the border of Jeju, the Liangshan Tanma had already reported to the Juyi Hall.

All the leaders gathered, and when they heard that it was really Hu Yanzhuo leading the troops to attack, their eyes when they looked at Chao Yong couldn't help but change a little.

After a burst of surprise, Wu Yongcai said: "After Chao Yong said it last time, the cottage will be investigated, this Hu Yanzhuo is the founding general Hu Yanzan, after the martial arts, so that the two copper whips can not be approached." Just probing the horses and probes, the three-way soldiers are ten thousand, and the horse army alone has more than 3,000, and there is a chain of horses to press the formation, which is invincible. ”

Xu Ning also said: "Although my 1,000 hook and sickle soldiers only teach three ways of secret methods, they are still short when they practice, and they can't go to the battlefield. If you can give me another month or two, I can barely use my troops in some thorny lands. ”

When Chao Gai heard this, he frowned and said, "It's hard for me to wait in the cottage for a month or two." ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Tang got up and said, "Brother, don't grow up with other people's ambition and destroy my prestige." My brother ordered, I, Liu Tang, am willing to be a pioneer, even if he has 100,000 soldiers and horses, I can also kill them thoroughly. ”

Lin Chong also knew that Chao Gai was strong, for fear that he would be bewitched by Liu Tang, so he hurriedly said: "Don't be careless, if it is a box soldier, 100,000 is not enough for Liu Tang's brothers to kill." But Hu Yanzhuo's command is a forbidden army, and he is from a general, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses under his command can be called the elite of the forbidden army, and my cottage soldiers and horses are only more than a month into the army, if it is a head-to-head confrontation, I am afraid that I will kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. ”

Ruan Xiaoqi shouted: "How can you be afraid of the dead in this war, your head has fallen off, but the bowl has a big scar." I, Liangshan, are all men who stand up to the sky, and I would rather die than fall into majesty. ”

Chao Yong naturally knows his father's surname, if he doesn't fight, he will just close the door, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

After thinking about it, he said: "Hu Yanzhuo's army has just arrived, and its vigor is in full swing, so you can't fight him in a decisive battle." However, if you don't shoot and shrink up, I'm afraid that the heroes of the world will laugh at me and there is no one in Liangshan. When the officers and soldiers enter our Liangshan sphere of influence, we will go to meet him, and it is best to catch him as a pioneer, and also give Hu Yanzhuo a dismount. It's just that there are many officers and soldiers and horses, and we can only take the horses there, even if we are surrounded by officers and soldiers, we can also fight our way out of the encirclement. ”

Dong Ping is also a belligerent person, and when he heard that his horse army was in battle, he hurriedly agreed: "What Brother Yong said is that my horse army will meet him." ”

Chao Gai saw that his son came up with a plan to get the best of both worlds, and said with a smile: "This plan is the best, you must capture that Han Tao alive." The military division, Liu Tang, and Bai Sheng stayed behind to guard the village, and the rest of the generals went down the mountain with me, and the Ruan brothers were responsible for answering. ”

When Liu Tang heard that he was asked to guard the village, he immediately shouted: "Brother, let me fight again." ”

"It's all the Ma Jun who went this time, you are only good at foot fighting, but you can't go. After a decisive battle, you will inevitably fight. ”

The distribution has been decided, Dong Ping went to look at his horse army, and the rest of the leaders who had a share of the mountain also went to prepare their own horse armor.

But it was said that Han Tao, the pioneer of Huyanzhuo, was also born in martial arts, made a jujube wood plastic, and was called General Baisheng. Although he was nicknamed General Yum, Han Tao had never been on the battlefield, just because when he took the martial arts examination that year, he won many people in a row and won the martial arts, so he was replaced by General Yum.

Although the military strength of the Northern Song Dynasty is not strong, the national strength is not weak, and the Zhao and Song royal families are willing to live under the people, and they are willing to spend money to buy peace, so there have been few border wars, and the younger generals have rarely been on the battlefield.

Han Tao's place of service is the Gyeonggi region, where the forbidden army has always been stationed, and the bandits and grass bandits have never appeared, so this is the first time he has led troops to the battle.

The army traveled all the way, and the grass robbers fled one after another along the way, which also made Han Tao relax his vigilance, feeling that no grass cole dared to fight against the imperial army.

Although it was less than thirty miles away from Liangshan, he did not send many scout horses, nor did he let the scout horses increase the range of sentinels.

Han Tao was about to sway forward when he saw a puff of dust suddenly appear on the horizon, and it was rapidly approaching.

When he was puzzled, he saw that the horse in front of him had already run and shouted: "Report, there are hundreds of Liangshan bandits attacking." ”

Han Tao glanced at the long line behind him because of the march, if it was raided by the Liangshan horse army at this time, I was afraid that the entire front army would be scattered, and hurriedly shouted: "The horse army will follow me to meet it, and the infantry army will form a formation to guard against thieves and thieves." ”

Chao Gai and the others were only five miles away from Han Tao's front army at this time, and they originally saw that Han Tao's vigilance was not strong, and they were ready to attack directly. Unexpectedly, Han Tao was so resolute that he actually led the horse army to meet him.

Chao Gai saw that Han Tao's horse army was wearing horse armor, if the horse army on both sides collided together, I am afraid that his own horse army would lose a lot, these two hundred horse army is the only family background in Liangshan, and he couldn't help but feel distressed at the moment, and waved his hand: "Stop." ”

"Slow down and stop slowly."

Dong Ping heard Chao Gai suddenly shout to stop, almost fell under the horse in fright, the Ma army had already charged, Chao Gai shouted to stop, I am afraid that without the officers and soldiers to charge, his own family will be in a mess, and hurriedly added.
