Xinyan Town.

Since the invasion of the Yan army, Zhou Li, the mayor of Xinyan Town, and Wu Han, the leader of the township Yong, leaned towards the Yan army "in time", and made a lot of contributions to the pursuit and killing of the Yingzhou government army by the Yan army, and were "valued" by the generals of the Le'an County garrison, and let the two of them take care of the people who moved in around fifty miles and raise four thousand war horses.

In order to better rule the people of Yingzhou Prefecture, the Yan army moved the scattered people from all over the country together, concentrated them in larger towns, unified care, and once the people did not obey the discipline, they slaughtered the people to deter the rest.

Li Xu rushed to Xinyan Town with more than 3,000 government troops, but it did not set off at dawn and arrived in the morning as Li Gan and others expected. Instead, he set off in the afternoon and rushed to the vicinity of Xinyan Town at night.

"Night raid?" Li Qian muttered to himself.

Xu Qian said with some uncertainty: "It should be, otherwise, what are we doing here after dark?" It's quite cold. ”

Zhang Wei opened his mouth and said angrily: "It's just a small town, three thousand villagers, it's not enough to kill it directly, and what kind of night attack is it." ”

"Oh? Captain Zhang seems to be a little dissatisfied? A slightly rough voice came, making Zhang Wei stiffen slightly.

Zhang Wei turned around and said with a smile: "Instructor Li said that he was joking, but he was just ......."

Li Xu said lightly: "The guards of Xinyan Town are just village warriors, and the wall is only three meters, so it is naturally easy to break through it." However, it is inevitable that some soldiers will die in battle, and we don't have many soldiers, so why fight with them? More importantly, Le'an County is less than a hundred miles away, and when the cavalry of the Yan Army learns the information, they will definitely chase us, and it is very likely that they will find out where we are staying. Four thousand war horses were lost, and the guards of Le'an County could not bear this responsibility. We are responsible for the lives of our subordinates. ”

Zhang Wei said: "Teach below!" ”

The night was deep, and the moon shone only a faint glow on the land. Li Xu took the Yingzhou army to slowly approach Xinyan Town, Xinyan Town was very quiet, and the dog barked silently, maybe in this weather, even the dog hid in the den to keep warm.

Li Xu assigned combat tasks step by step. The defense of Xinyan Town is not tight, maybe these villagers didn't expect that someone in Yingzhou would attack them.

"Kill!"

Li Xu shouted without hesitation, brandishing a long knife and rushing forward first. As for the lazy sentinels, they had already been shot to death by the marksman. A few nimble soldiers climbed the town wall with their hooks and opened the town gates.

The Yingzhou sergeants rushed up and quickly rushed into Xinyan Town. There were six sentries under the town wall, but before they could react, they were killed by the Yingzhou army that climbed down. Before their corpses had completely fallen, the battalion army had already stepped on their corpses and rushed into the town. For a while, the silent Xinyan Town became boiling, and the screams of men and women were mixed together, as if they had exploded.

Li Xu said first, the soldiers should not be killed when they enter the town, except for the village warriors who resisted, the rest only needed to create chaos, which could be regarded as a real battle against the Yingzhou army that had been trained for more than a month.

The townsfolk of Xinyan Town didn't expect to be attacked at this time, and were completely dazed by the attack of the soldiers and others led by Li Xu, and he didn't know what to do. Although among the leaders of the township bravery, there were still a few soldiers of the Yan Dynasty, but they were still chased and killed by the Yingzhou army.

Wu Han never expected that there would be someone in Le'an County who would take the risk of being cleaned up by the Yan army and attack Xinyan Town, and he would take this army as a bandit on the spot. He had no idea that in the mountains less than thirty miles away, there were remnants of a government army of more than 3,000 people, let alone that this remnant army would suddenly attack them after more than a month of training.

"What to do? What do you do? ”

"Who are you?"

"Don't get me wrong! Don't get me wrong! No...... Yes! ”

"Is it a bandit? Is it a thief? Where are you from? ”

"We have the support of the Evil Army, do you want to find ...... death?"

"They're the army they brought in, so ruthless!"

Many villagers, in all kinds of screams, became the ghosts of the knife. For these townsmen, the Yingzhou army has already found out that they are all fellows who help and abuse, and they have a lot of blood on their hands from the people of Yingzhou, although some of them are wronged, but so what? Who let them resist with weapons in hand.

These village warriors, including several soldiers under the Yan Army, did not know who they had suffered until they died, and they were chopped to death by the wolf-like Yingzhou Army, blood splashed, and flesh and blood separated. These people didn't blink to death, they were originally sent to enjoy happiness, but they didn't expect to encounter an attack, and until they died, they thought it was done by mountain bandits. For a while, they didn't recognize that it was the former Yingzhou government army attacking them, of course, this also had something to do with the fact that the armor on the soldiers was a little messy.

Of course, not all people thought that these were mountain bandits, at least Wu Han could see who these people were, because he saw that among these people, there were those who escaped from the army that was ambushed and encircled by the army sent by the Le'an County guard a month ago. Immediately, Wu Han knew that Xinyan Town was not guaranteed, and they rushed to take revenge, which explained. The three thousand township warriors of Xinyan Town are not the opponents of the other party at all, and the other party will only enter Xinyan Town if they are sure.

"It's over, War Horse!" Seeing a team of soldiers galloping away, Wu Han's face changed drastically, and he was horrified. He knew the importance of the four thousand war horses in the hearts of the guards of the Le'an County. immediately recruited his cronies around him and asked him to run to Le'an County overnight to ask for help.

Seeing someone rushing out of Xinyan Town, the corners of Li Xu's mouth curled slightly, allowing him to run out of Xinyan Town, and then ordered that to speed up his actions.

In the early winter nights, especially in the north, the climate is very cold, although there is no snow, but the cold wind that blows by, so that most of the villagers hide in their homes or temporary camps, and sleep soundly. One can imagine how much combat effectiveness these people can exert when they are suddenly attacked.

According to the training, the Yingzhou army should have been guarding the outside of the camp tent, and when they saw someone running out in a panic, they stabbed a three-edged stab at the head, and then brandished a long knife and killed into the camp tent. But Xiang Yong is a Xiang Yong after all, and he is far from the army. A variety of villagers appeared on the street, as long as they were armed with weapons and wanted to resist, they were killed by the Yingzhou army before they could react. The training of the soldiers did not come in handy, and many of the soldiers seemed to be particularly unpleasant, and secretly sighed that their training was not useful.

For the safety of 4,000 war horses, the Yan army specially left several crossbow machines in Le'an County on the town wall of Xinyan Town, but the results were obviously unsatisfactory. Such a sharp weapon did not play the slightest role, and was charged by the Yingzhou army.

There were dozens of villagers on night duty around the crossbow machine, and after discovering that Xinyan Town had been attacked, they only fired a few crossbow arrows, causing seven or eight casualties to the Yingzhou army. He was killed by the battalion state sergeant who made a detour from other directions. Annoyed that they had caused casualties to their comrades, the battalion soldiers chopped up all their corpses in a vent, and finally some instructors came to stop them.

As for Wu Han, he was targeted by Zhang Wei, this is also an accomplice of the ambush, under Zhang Wei's angry attack, Wu Han failed to block a few rounds, and was killed on the spot.

Li Gan, Zhou Wenzhong and others led a group of battalion state troops, specifically looking for those Xiangyong who seemed to be gathered together and seemed to want to resist to attack, in this case, of course, they would not be captured. Even if someone kneels on the ground and begs for mercy, the end result is a knife. Soon, Xiang Yong, who was shocked by the vivid facts, suddenly scattered.

After taking control of Xinyan Town, Li Xu informed the people that he was a member of the Yingzhou army and had no intention of harming the people and let them hide at home. Then, with a wave of their hands, the soldiers dismantled the crossbow machine, smashed it completely, and could no longer be used. Then he rushed to the rear of Xinyan Town, where there were four thousand war horses. As for Xinyan Town, those who took refuge in the Yan army and made a fortune on the heads of the people were arrested by the Yingzhou army one by one and beheaded them, which can be regarded as some warnings to those people in Yingzhou.

"Instructor Li! Fa, the four thousand war horses are all good horses, these corporals have horses to ride, as long as they are equipped with a saddle, we are infantry soldiers and cavalry. Xu Qian said excitedly to Li Xu who arrived.

In the huge horse pen, the war horses were close together, snorting from time to time to welcome these strangers.

Not only Xu Qian, but the rest of the people were happy.

"Lead the horse, according to the plan, withdraw!" Li Xu pressed the joy in his heart and said loudly.

In an instant, thousands of horses rode or led, rushing out of Xinyan Town, leaving only a place of blood to declare the previous bloody battle.
