PS: Thank you book friend Yuki Kaede, Chubby 1977 for the monthly pass support

This sudden fire suddenly evoked the most terrifying memories in the hearts of the dragoon guards who were chased by fire and burned behind their buttocks just over an hour ago, and the more than 1,000 people in the 3,000 reinforcements who had not yet entered the car formation immediately threw away the wooden shields in their hands, turned around and fled behind, and most of the knights who were fighting in front of them were also frightened, and began to fight and retreat, and many people looked around and began to look for a way to escape.

After the sound of the cavalry's special two-stone crossbow machine firing one after another, a wave of black-pressed crossbow arrows broke through the air with the sound of a flickering wind, and nailed directly to the chests of the dozens of dragoon guards who fled at the front.

These people didn't even snort, due to the inertia, their bodies were still running, and after they ran forward two or three steps, they fell to the ground, spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and suddenly lost their breath, and the expression on their faces was more frightened than fear.

The deserters behind suddenly seemed to have been immobilized, and they all stood in place, never daring to take a step forward and run one more step.

Pei Wen'an's blackened and white face was full of murderous intent, followed by three hundred Chinese guards with crossbows, a sword shining in the sun, and his voice full of murderous intent echoed in everyone's ears: "There are people who have taken a step back from my position!" Chop! ”

The deserters came back to their senses, one by one looked at each other, although the military order was like a mountain, but behind them had become a sea of fire, wanting to rush back again really made everyone's hearts beat the drum, a brigade commander looked like an officer asked carefully: "General, the fire is too big." It's hard for me to rush in. It's not that we don't want to fight as hard as we can. It's really more than enough to be able to do it! ”

Pei Wenan sneered twice, and said sharply: "What are you panicking, there is no wind now, this fire only burned the vicinity of the chariot wooden shield, and the fire belt was only more than ten steps wide, gritted his teeth and rushed over directly, you also know that the military order is like a mountain, since General Ben has given this order." There is no reason to take it back, those who enter live, those who retreat die, it's as simple as that! ”

I don't know which soldier muttered quietly: "Let's go to death, why don't you go?" ”

When Pei Wenan heard this, he jumped off his horse and shouted at all the deserters: "Now let you see if Ben Jiang is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" He gritted his teeth and strode through the gap in the crowd, less than ten paces ahead of the blazing flames.

The heat wave was accompanied by thick smoke, and Pei Wenan took off the cloak behind him. As soon as the eyes were closed, the cat bent into the scorching fire belt. Suddenly, his voice came clearly from the other side of the Flame Belt: "General Ben has come safely, what are you waiting for?!" ”

The deserters suddenly regained their courage again, and they rushed into the fire belt, and the first person to rush in saw that Pei Wen'an's face had been completely blackened by smoke, only the whites of his eyes were still outside, and his beard was half burned, which looked a little funny.

The deserters couldn't laugh, they all raised their weapons one by one, and pounced directly on the crowd that was fighting in front of them, and the dragoon guards who were fighting in front of them were full of energy and confidence when they saw that a fresh force had joined, and they began to muster up courage again, and no one thought about running away anymore, and they all concentrated on fighting and moving forward.

Qiao Zhongkui sat on the horse, listened coldly to the sound of fighting from inside, and glanced at the dense cavalry on both wings, and said to the herald beside him: "Pass my general's order, and the center will transfer another 5,000 knights to prepare to dismount and fight on foot, and the cavalry on both wings must firmly keep an eye on the enemy's two wings, and they cannot be allowed to outflank the foot knights in the center of our army." ”

The herald took the order, and an adjutant general cautiously asked: "Marshal, our army's reserve is already less than 10,000 iron cavalry, and 5,000 more people will be transferred up at this time, in case the enemy's cavalry on both wings begins to outflank, it is a bit dangerous here." ”

Qiao Zhongkui didn't answer, he directly whipped it, and opened a blood mark on the face of the deputy general: "Idiot, when has this happened, are you still thinking about your own safety?" Didn't you see Pei Zhuguo himself rushing into the fire, he is not afraid of death as a civilian official and strategist, you are not as good as him as a general? ”

The general's face was pale and swollen red, unable to speak, and he withdrew under the blood mark.

Yang Xuangan was standing in front of the Xiaoguo knights, looking at the battle five miles away with a stern expression, tens of thousands of people were holding weapons, forgetting their lives and forgetting to fight for life and death, shouting and killing, drums, and screams were mixed together, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Xiong Kuohai Dama walked to Yang Xuangan's side, and whispered: "Young master, now that the enemy's reserves have been used, I am afraid that if we don't act again, General Yang may not be able to withstand it, as long as we go around to the west and then go straight to Qiao Zhongkui's Chinese army, we will definitely be able to win a big victory." ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "Yes, this is a complete victory, but General Yang and his Shuozhou army lost, there is no suspense about the outcome of this battle, even if General Yang is wiped out, we can still clean up the mess, even if we can't win, the rebels will not be able to capture Daizhou!" Kuohai, it is because General Yang knows this that he insists on this. ”

Xiong Kuohai shook his head: "I really don't understand what they think, what kind of thing is it to abandon strong reinforcements and fight alone?" ”

Yang Xuan sighed: "For the dignity of the warrior and the honor of the general!"

He suddenly turned his head and shouted at the knights behind him: "Take up your horn and blow it with the greatest force, we will not fight, but we can cheer for the bloody comrades in front of us!"

Wang Shichong, who was at the head of Daizhou City, looked coldly at the Xiaoguo army in front of him, the drums and trumpets were loud, shaking the whole earth trembling, and the blood in his heart was also boiling for a while, turning his head and shouting left and right: "Didn't you eat breakfast, all the drums to help!" ”

Yang Yichen suddenly heard the sound of drums and trumpets in the rear, and when he turned around, the Xiaoguo knights five miles away from the rear each had a horn, and the sound resounded through the world, and the head of Daizhou City in the distance was also the sound of the golden drum that shook the heavens and the earth, Yang Yichen's tense face was slightly soothed, and he smiled: "It's full." Occult sense. There are yours. You can also support my brother in this way, thank you!"

Yang Yichen turned his head and shouted to the guards on the left and right and the soldiers in front: "Did you hear it, it was the Xiaoguo brothers in the rear and the brothers in the city cheering us on, remember, we are not alone!"

After Yang Yichen finished shouting, he said to the banner soldiers: "The order is that all the 2,000 dead soldiers of the Chinese army will be put into battle. We must hold the enemy down!"

Before the flag bearer went to find the flag and waved it, Liu Wuzhou beside Yang Yichen was like an arrow off the string, first jumped off the horse, and then shouted and led his subordinates who were about to spew fire in their eyes and rushed out.

Yang Yichen's eyes looked at the eight thousand light horsemen on both wings, he looked up at the sky, the sun had risen to the middle position, it was noon, Yang Yichen muttered: "It's time!"

He turned his head. He said to the flag-bearer who was so busy that he couldn't spare a moment: "Wave the black flag and let the troops in the valley dispatch!"

A huge black flag was raised. After shaking three times in the air, a huge drum suddenly sounded in the valley northwest of the battlefield, as if hundreds of big drums were being beaten at the same time, and from a distance, there was even more smoke and dust in the sky, and it seemed that at least thirty or forty thousand foot riders were rapidly approaching here, and a big drum embroidered with a golden wolf's head slowly rose from the valley.

The soldiers on both sides who were fighting all looked at it in unison, both sides were elite soldiers who had been fighting against the Turks for many years, and they were all too familiar with this wolf-headed Daxu, yes, this was the sign of the Turkic Khan, and the appearance here could only mean one thing: the Qimin Khan himself came.

Yang Yichen's voice sounded in the rear of the Shuozhou army: "Hahaha, brothers, Qimin Khan personally led reinforcements to help in the battle, everyone work harder to kill the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor!"

The voices on the battlefield spread ten, ten, hundreds, and everyone in Shuozhou was shouting: "Turkic reinforcements are coming to help our army, Turkic reinforcements are coming to help our army!"

And the dragoon guards were all frightened, the original evenly matched contest, all of a sudden the other side had so many reinforcements, the victory or defeat was directly out of suspense, a soldier who was fighting threw down his weapon, and began to flee to the rear without looking back.

Fear and despair spread rapidly across the battlefield like a virus, and the reservists who did not directly squeeze to the front to fight turned back in unison, threw away their armor, and scrambled to begin a mass exodus.

Although Pei Wen'an, who was holding a sword and supervising the battle, shouted loudly, and even killed a deserter who ran past him with his own hands, he couldn't stop more and more people from rushing backwards like a rushing river, and even most of the soldiers fighting in front of him joined the ranks.

Pei Wenan looked up to the sky and sighed, and two lines of tears rushed through the two rivers on his black face: "Heaven will kill me, not a crime of war!" His Royal Highness the King of Han, Wen'an is one step ahead!" He turned the sword in his hand upside down, and wiped it directly towards his neck.

Blood spurted out of the cut trachea like a fountain, and Pei Wen'an's last impression in the world was that the sound of blood spraying was like the wind blowing through the leaves.

His body shook in place a few times, and was brushed by a soldier who ran past him in a panic, and finally fell to the ground, and soon some panicked soldiers stepped over his corpse......

Qiao Zhongkui cried bitterly under the banner of the handsome, he has been in battle for a long time, and knows the truth that the army is defeated like a mountain, and now this situation is like Mount Tai falling in front of him, but he is powerless when he sees it, he strokes his chest and cries a few times, and said to the herald behind him: "Order, the whole army retreats, the cavalry on both wings and in the center suppresses the formation with strong crossbows, and covers the evacuation of the soldiers in front!"

Before the words fell, Yang Yichen set up a golden banner again, embroidered with a huge "Shuo" character, and all the Shuozhou sergeants, whether they were foot riders or archers, shouted in unison: "Gale, gale, gale!"

Then draw your melee weapon and rush forward at full speed.

Qiao Zhongkui saw that this was the banner of the enemy's assault on the whole line, and looked at the northwest from a distance, and there seemed to be more than 100 cavalrymen riding cotton robes and fur hats in the smoke and dust, completely dressed as standard Turkic people, he was still a little suspicious of this so-called Turkic reinforcements, and this time he dispelled his last bit of luck, and he didn't care about giving another order, so he turned his horse and fled. Even the helmet fell to the ground.

With Qiao Zhongkui's escape. The rebel guards were all in the back of their heels. The banner of the Chinese army with the word "Qiao" was no longer cared for, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

The thousands of cavalry on both wings were already panicked, but when they saw the Chinese army's handsome flag falling, they were even more heartbroken, and they couldn't care about the order to cover, so they directly galloped backwards, and while running back, they put the heavy weapons and armor on their hands. The vests were thrown away one by one to speed up the escape.

The Shuozhou light cavalry, which had been motionless since the beginning of the war, suddenly seemed to become sprinters who heard the sound of the starting gun after the golden banner was raised, blowing wild whistles excitedly, beating their horses with all their might, and slashing the rebel foot knights who fled in the desert with bows and arrows, lassos and sabers.

Seeing that they couldn't escape, many rebel soldiers turned around and knelt down, threw away their weapons, took off their armor and raised them above their heads. In order to show surrender, the Shuozhou army rode on foot. They all ran past these soldiers quickly, but they didn't care about taking them prisoner, and they all ran towards the deserters in front of them, in their eyes, these running prey were human heads, military merits!

Wang Shichong looked at the qiē that happened in front of him, and sighed: "General Yang is really a rare good general, in today's battle, with less than 20,000 foot cavalry, he broke 50,000 dragoon guards, which is enough to be famous all over the world, and the Shuozhou army's combat power and discipline are strong enough to be emulated by an army." ”

Zhang Jincheng beside him also said thoughtfully: "My old Zhang has fought so many battles with you, and I have seen a lot of Marshal Yang's method of building an army with authority, but I have never seen a commander who can not kill people, and only rely on honor to organize this army into such an iron-blooded force." ”

Wang Shichong said thoughtfully: "That's different, Jin said, my troops are not our own, they are all requisitioned from all over the court by the imperial court, and they are mobilized by tiger talismans when they fight, and they will be disbanded and returned home after the war, and the commander has no time to slowly establish his prestige, so he can only rely on killing people to maintain the majesty of military discipline." ”

He raised his head and looked at Yang Yichen, who commanded Ruoding in the distance, raised his horsewhip and pointed to the battlefield in front of him, and kept giving orders to the flag soldiers beside him, and sighed: "General Yang is different from us, he has been guarding the border for many years, and this army is not like an ordinary temporary conscription of government soldiers, but a standing army that follows him to fight personally, perhaps in the eyes of these soldiers, General Yang is bigger than the tiger charm of the imperial court." ”

Zhang Jincheng nodded: "Yes, Jin Cheng's most intuitive experience these days is that the Shuozhou Army is Yang Yichen, and Yang Yichen is the Shuozhou Army, so it can be said that this is General Yang's private army." ”

Wang Shichong's heart suddenly moved, and he quickly calculated in his heart: Yang Yichen received Yang Jian's great favor and also got Yang Jian's absolute trust, so that he could be in charge of the military alone in the border pass for more than ten years and go out of the town, but after Yang Guang came to power, could he tolerate this Yang Yichen, who won the hearts of the military? Will this Shuozhou army continue to be surnamed Yang? If he raises troops in the future, will this Yang Yichen be an opponent or a friend?

Wang Shichong thought of this, turned his head to Zhang Jin and said: "Jin said, take your brothers to stay here, and you will be ready to welcome the Shuozhou army back to the city to celebrate the success." But he ran down the city, got on a war horse, and ran towards Yang Yichen.

Yang Yichen saw Wang Shichong running from a distance, laughed, put down the order flag in his hand, and said to Wang Shichong: "Okay, how did I fight this battle today?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Brother Yichen's battle is enough to be famous for eternity and recorded in the history books, and the younger brother is fortunate to witness this legendary battle today, what a blessing!" ”

Yang Yichen waved his hand: "It's all the life of the three armies, the result of the soldiers sacrificing their lives and forgetting death, and the relationship with me is not too big, but after this battle, the Shuozhou army should be famous all over the world." ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Yes, once this battle is over, Yang Liang's defeat is already doomed, and defeat is only a matter of time, but I don't know what Brother Yichen plans to do after quelling the rebellion?" Will he continue to be in charge of the Shuozhou military horse, or will he become an official in the court? ”

Yang Yichen's face changed, and then a smile resurfaced on his face, and he smiled: "Okay, the battle is not over yet, when you and my brother have time to drink after this battle, we will talk about this again!" Today, you and Xuan Gan helped my brother take revenge, and I will remember this grace Yang Yichen for the rest of my life. ”

Yang Yichen looked up at his subordinates who were still chasing the north in front of him, and said with a smile: "In today's big battle, it is really unreasonable for me, as the commander, not to kill a few enemy soldiers with my own hands. The line is full, I am out of company, you and I will get drunk again after the war! With that, he slapped his mount's ass hard, and the steed neighed and ran out like lightning.

Wang Shichong shook his head, he had already judged the real concerns in this person's heart from Yang Yichen's expression just now, Yang Yichen was by no means a brave and unscrupulous person, and it could be seen that this person had a very high IQ and a very good grasp of people's hearts in this battle.

He suddenly remembered that Yang Yichen grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he worked as a guard for Yang Jian for several years before he was released to be the assassin of Shuozhou, he should have seen what Yang Guang had done in his eyes, and knew in his heart, at least he knew that Yang Guang could not trust him unconditionally and unreservedly like Yang Jian.

I'm afraid that after this battle, he Yang Yichen will take the initiative to resign from the military and become a civilian official without soldiers in his hands, which is the way for a smart general to protect himself.

Wang Shichong sighed and muttered to himself: "Brother Yichen, I'm afraid that in the future, you and I will be officials in the same court, and we will meet in the court." Can you really leave these brothers of yours alive and dead? He also rode a dozen mounts, but he went in the opposite direction, heading towards Daizhou City. (To be continued......)
