Chapter 70: The Night Battle in Caozhou (3)
Yue Fei carried the horse and stood five feet behind Han Chang. Behind Yue Fei, there were three cavalry armies that were quickly merging into one. Han Chang has been following the Jin army for many years, and he has seen Yan Zongbi's Tiefu Tu, and he has also seen Dajin's most elite Flying Tiger Army. However, he had to admit that Yue Fei's 2,000 cavalry army was definitely no less than the Tiefu Tu and Flying Tiger Army.
The 2,000 cavalry completed the transformation from scattered to strict almost instantly. Under the reflection of the firelight, the two thousand soldiers who were full of vigor and didn't know what defeat was, made Han Chang, who had always been brave, feel weak for a while.
Behind the 2,000 Protector Army, there was a military camp that no longer existed, and the flames that rose to the sky turned the whole cold night red. The food is finished, the baggage is finished, and in the midst of the fire, the whole camp is hopeless.
As soon as Wang Gang raised his hand, he threw a round hidden weapon at Han Chang. But it is the head of the tiger of the ten thousand households who stayed in the golden camp.
The Tiger is famous for his bravery in the army, and he is a close friend of Zongbi. I heard that Zong Bi and Fushi Menghu were engaged to have a baby, and Zong Bi's twelve-year-old daughter was about to marry Fushi Liezhining, the son of Fushi Menghu. Because the Sushi Tiger had not appeared in the chaotic battle, Han Chang thought that he had escaped, but he didn't expect to be beheaded by Wang Gang a long time ago.
"Han Chang, aren't you going to surrender yet?" Yue Fei stared at Han Chang, who was lost in his soul, and shouted loudly.
"Han has been in the army for more than ten years, but I didn't expect to end up like this today!" Han Chang saw that the Han'er army guarding the camp had been completely defeated, and now he was the only one left in front of the army, knowing that it was useless to resist, he immediately threw the big gun on the ground and said impassionedly. "Hahahaha, Yue Fei, you don't have to try to persuade me to surrender. Dajin treats me as a national soldier, and I should repay him as a national soldier. The fourth prince treats me Han Chang as a sibling, how dare Han Chang be greedy for life and afraid of death! ”
Wang Gang couldn't get used to Han Chang's madness, and said very irritably, "Yue Shuai, Han Chang is a hardcore traitor, and he can't persuade him to surrender at all." Besides, Kou Cheng's eldest brother died in his hands. If he does not avenge Brother Kou Cheng, Wang Gang swears not to be a man. ”
Wang Gang and Kou Cheng have worked together for the longest time, and he admires Kou Cheng's ability to train cavalry the most, and he has always been a brother. When the news of Kou Cheng's death came, Wang Gang secretly swore in his heart that he must behead Han Chang under his horse and avenge Kou Cheng's eldest brother.
Yue Fei had another thought. Han Chang has a very high prestige among the Han people of Yanyun and Bohai, and if he can subdue Han Chang, he will have many fewer loyal and brave soldiers in the possible Northern Expedition in the future. Although Han Chang is brave, he is by no means a person who regards death as his home. His attitude is precisely to improve his worth.
However, Wang Gang's words reminded Yue Fei again. He wanted to subdue Han Chang, but if he persuaded him repeatedly, not only would it be too late in time, but it would also make the Beiwei army that Kou Cheng had trained feel depressed.
At this moment, the crisis of the Protector Company has not yet passed, and the most important thing is to twist the Protector Army into a ball. In order to subdue a Han Chang, the morale of the Protector Army must not be lost.
Thinking of this, Yue Fei immediately stopped persuading him to surrender. At this time, the fire in the camp was about to burn behind the buttocks of the Guardian Riders, but none of the Elite Riders panicked. Yue Fei pointed his spear forward and shouted loudly, "Brothers, the golden camp has been broken, let us make persistent efforts, fight to the city of Caozhou, and defeat the army of golden dogs." ”
The 2,000 cavalry raised their sabers and shouted in unison, "Yue Shuai is invincible, and his back is unparalleled." ”
"Kill!"
Wang Gang first jumped his horse and crossed his sword, and went straight to Han Chang, who was waiting to die. Han Chang didn't expect that he didn't fight Yue Fei's persuasion to surrender again, but rushed directly to kill, and couldn't help but burst into the flames, quickly picked up the spear on the ground, and with a shake of the big gun, he opened Wang Gang's fatal knife.
It's a pity that it wasn't Wang Gang who rushed over, and there were hundreds of elite cavalry.
Wang Gang slashed through the air with a knife, and directly pulled out his horse and rushed past Han Chang. Immediately, the three backstabbing soldiers raised their sabers and slashed at Han Chang in unison. Han Chang was helpless, so he could only flash his body and dodge between the two war horses.
But it was Ji Qian who came with the killing. When it comes to fighting alone, Ji Qian is not Han Chang's opponent at all.
But in such a scene, Ji Qian picked up a big bargain. Before Han Chang's waist could straighten up, he was pressed down by Ji Qian's double hammer and smashed right on the barrel of his gun. Han Chang's arms were numb, and the big gun fell to the ground.
Han Chang knew that he was going to die, so he couldn't help but sigh. But Ji Qian didn't make two more moves, but handed the double hammers to her left hand, stretched out her right hand, grabbed Han Chang's neck, and lifted it up, and actually grabbed Han Chang on the saddle.
Ji Qian's hand is really beautiful, and it can be said that she has played at a super level. Ji Qian seems to be rude, but she is also careful. When he saw Yue Fei trying to persuade Han Chang to surrender, he understood Yue Fei's thoughts. So he decisively chose to capture Han Chang alive.
Ji Qian captured Han Chang, caught up with Yue Fei, and said loudly, "Big brother, Han Chang has been captured here." ”
Yue Fei glanced at Han Chang, who did not resist, and secretly said in his heart, Han Chang was really afraid of death. If he really fought to the death, how could Yi Ji Qian's kung fu be captured by Ji Qian. However, Yue Fei didn't break it, but just asked again, "Han Chang, are you willing to surrender?" ”
Han Chang didn't dare to pretend anymore. He was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth to refuse, he would smash Ji Qian to death. So he immediately threw his head on the ground and shouted, "Han is willing to be a pawn for Yue Shuai to atone for the sins of the past." ”
Yue Fei let out a sigh of relief, turned over and dismounted, and pulled Han Chang up from the ground. "General Han is familiar with the Jurchen military situation, and if he can make great contributions to the Protector Army, it will be insignificant."
Han Chang hesitated for a moment, clenched his fists and said, "The last general does have military intelligence and is handsome Yue. Now although Jinan has been dedicated to the Golden Chief by Liu Yu and his son, Liu Yu and his son are extremely ambitious. On the surface, they lowered their gold and slaughtered the city, but they held the tens of thousands of soldiers in their hands. Coach Wanyan Zonggan wanted to kill Liu Yu and his son immediately. However, Deputy Marshal Wan Yanchang thinks that Liu Yu has great use value. Now the cities around Jinan are all guarded by Liu Yu's army. Now there are only 5,000 Jurchen elite riders in Jinan City. Our army attacked from Jinan to Caozhou, and captured more than a dozen cities along the way, all of which were left behind by our Han'er army. If Yue Shuai wants to attack Jinan, the last general is willing to act as a vanguard. ”
Yue Fei said with a smile, "Of course Jinan wants to attack, but not now. Zong Bi's tens of thousands of troops are coming to Caozhou, and if he is not defeated, I don't dare to go north to attack Jinan. ”
Yue Fei prepared a horse for Han Chang and asked Han Chang to temporarily act as his personal guard. The reason why Yue Fei did this was actually to guard against Han Chang's violent outbursts and hurt people. With Han Chang's monkey-like skills just now, if he broke out and hurt someone, only Yue Fei could stop him.
But Han often had a misunderstanding. He remembered that although he had been obedient to the Jin Army for more than ten years, he was still not qualified to sit in the Jin Army's big tent and discuss matters. Seeing that Yan Zong finished Yan Chang and Yan Zongbi and the three of them, they still had to kowtow. In the eyes of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom, no matter how much he can fight, he is just a dog. Although Zong Bi is informal, if he wants to say that he treats Han Chang as a sibling, it is Han Chang who is bragging. When he saw Zong Bi, he still wanted to kneel and speak.
This time, he was deliberately caught by Ji Qian, thinking that even if he didn't die, he would be severely beaten. Unexpectedly, Yue Fei didn't say a word, and directly gave him a war horse. This made Han Chang extremely moved and felt like a confidant.
As soon as the 2,000 cavalry rushed out of the burning barracks, they saw hundreds of torches rushing in front of them, and the galloping sound of tens of thousands of war horses made the earth shake slightly. Yue Fei frowned, and sneered, "It's worthy of Wanyan Zongbi, the reaction is so fast." ”
When Han Chang heard this, his face couldn't help but heat slightly. If he can hold on to the camp for another quarter of an hour, he may be able to hold out until the fourth prince returns. I don't have to be a prisoner of the Protectors.
Yue Fei glanced at Han Chang, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't issue orders. However, Han Chang was surprised to see that the speed of the protector cavalry that was advancing in unison did not decrease, but some of them rushed forward, some of them fell back, and in just a moment, a huge conical formation was discharged.
Han Chang saw it in his eyes and secretly praised, "Good cavalry." "Such a cavalry army that changes formation in high-speed marching, Han Chang has only seen it among elite golden soldiers.
Two thousand elite horsemen crisscross thousands of miles, and whenever they charge, it has always been Wang Gang and Jiao Wentong who act as the tip of the cone. But this time, Yue Fei arranged the two in the middle of the team. Because Yue Fei knew that the two of them were definitely not Zong Bi's opponents.
The most important thing is to act as a general at the tip of the cone. It must be invincible and fight a bloody way for the subsequent cavalry. According to Zong Bi's character, when it comes to fighting, he is definitely at the forefront.
Therefore, Yue Fei decided to act as the tip of the cone himself to meet this fateful opponent. Behind Yue Fei were Ji Qian and Han Chang. Ji Qian held a double mace, and Han Chang held a saber in his hand. His big gun was picked up by the Beiwei army, but Han Chang was very interested in not picking it up.
The reason why Yue Fei dared to hand over his heart to Han Chang was because he had found out Han Chang's character who was afraid of death. If Han Chang is arranged at the back of the team, maybe Han Chang will still have a chance to make trouble. But on the tip of the cone, even if Han Chang wanted to plot against him, he had to weigh how to avoid the heavy slashing of the Jin army.
Yue Fei dared to conclude that even if the Jin army recognized General Han at the first time, he would only regard Han Chang as a general who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and would definitely not show mercy to Han Chang's subordinates. In order to save his life, Han Chang could only use all his strength, follow Yue Fei, and kill through the Jin army. This is exactly how to drive the tiger up the tree.
As long as he meets Zong Bi today, Han Chang can only follow the Protector Army with all his heart in the future.
It was too late, it was too fast, and just as the Protector Army had just set up a cone-shaped array, Wanyan Zongbi's 10,000 iron cavalry also emerged in the darkness opposite. As Yue Fei expected, under the light of the fire, the head of the Jin army was a bald man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, holding a bloodstained mountain opening axe.
Wanyan Zongbi had already seen the fire of the camp and knew that the camp had fallen. However, he still assaulted at full speed, because he also calculated that the Protector Army attacking the camp would definitely continue to attack Caozhou. The number of horses in the camp has never exceeded 5,000. As long as you bump into the Protector Army on the road, with your 10,000 iron horsemen, you can definitely hit the elite of the Protector. It would be even better if Yue Fei could be captured alive.
Seeing the cone-shaped formation of the Protector Army, the corners of Zong Bi's mouth showed a hint of ridicule. Yue Fei, Yue Fei, do you think that our Jurchen elite is as waste as the Han Army? If you want to chisel through my 10,000-person team, Xiang Yuran Min can't do it.
