Zhang Yue's three battalions of horse army rushed all the way from Jinzhou, and after another big battle, it was the end of the crossbow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although the strength is slightly superior to the Northern Han army, the morale is strong, and the fighting spirit is high, but it is only on par with the Northern Han horse army that is desperately charging.

It was not until Liu Ci defeated the infantry formation and outflanked him from the other side that he annihilated the horse team in one fell swoop. At the end of this skirmish, the horses of many soldiers under Zhang Yue's command directly overturned, foaming at the mouth, and they died of exhaustion.

After solving the enemy army after the shore was broken, Liu Ci did not have the intention of continuing to attack, the two sides rested on the spot for a while, and there were chasing soldiers in the west who rushed to the battlefield, and it turned out to be Yao Yuanfu with more than 4,000 horse troops, and the strength of the army next week reached more than 7,000 people.

A few people discussed, with Yao Yuanfu leading the infantry formation in the center, Liu Ci and Zhang Yue each led the headquarters for the two Hebei to expand, leaving people to watch the war horses, slowly descending the slope with a foot formation, and was about to cross the river to attack, the Northern Han army set up a formation along the river beach and blocked it with crossbowmen. The Zhou army also concentrated on crossbowmen to return fire, but at the same time opened the way with sword and shield hands in front and covered the rear formation to wade across the river.

The two sides fought each other in close quarters on the river beach, but the morale of the Northern Han army was low, and after resisting for a while, it collapsed on its own, turned around and fled. The Zhou army followed and covered up, rushed uphill in one go, and defeated this broken force, and captured Wang Yanhe, the deputy envoy of the Later Han Dynasty. But Liu Chong's car was gone, and the ground was full of discarded sundries for the emperor, as well as military supplies, mules, horses, livestock, etc., which were difficult to count in a hurry.

The Zhou army led the war horse to cross the river, and after a short rest, Yao Yuanfu brought Wang Yansi up for questioning, but he didn't want to be cut down by the soldiers, and he was immediately annoyed. After this delay, the infantry army behind finally arrived. Wang Yanchao's Hezhong Army and Han Tong's Baoyi Army were obviously not very disciplined, and they began to pick up spoils as soon as they arrived on the battlefield.

Zhang Yue's subordinate Li Chuyun led five battalions of infantry behind, and suddenly did the same, completely unable to control it, and rushed to seize the ordnance and materials one after another, and several people and horses cheered, chaotic and chaotic, and almost fought.

Yao Yuanfu was furious, and ordered the tooth soldiers to beat the drums, and the soldiers reluctantly crossed the river, regrouped and continued to advance north. On the way, passing through the valley under the river (pig) ridge, there were hundreds of war horses running around, Li Yanchao was ordered to ambush and intercept here, but at this time he was grabbing war horses, and there was no sign of a battle around.

Yao Yuanfu sent a horse team to surround him, ordered Li Yanchao to step forward, and asked: "Your Majesty ordered you to ambush at the rear of the battlefield, and you are snatching the war horse, where is Liu Chong?" ”

"Go back to the medicine Linggong! Liu Chong went to the northeast! In the face of such an old handsome, Li Yanchao was nervous and did not dare to hold it up.

He was a civil official, but he had a vision, more than 1,000 horses were ambushed in place, and he saw Liu Chong leading the remnants of the army to flee in panic from the valley under the ridge, but he had no courage to order a blockade, and watched the enemy run away.

"Ambush but not strike! His crime is very great, and he now orders you to lead the headquarters as the striker, and follow Liu Chong in pursuit, there must be no mistake! Yao Yuanfu snorted coldly and ordered.

Li Yanchao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ran to rectify the people and horses, and led his troops north first. Wang Yanchao was very unhappy when he watched it from the sidelines, and said to Yao Yuanfu: "Such rats actually let Liu Chong go, why don't you make an example of him?" ”

"What Desheng said, our army is not well prepared this time, and came in a hurry, if Liu Chong is really caught, he will have to be put back. If Taiyuan is not stabilized by Liu Chong now, I am afraid that the Liao State will be seized by the trend. Yao Yuanfu said with a meaningful smile.

"No wonder! Your Majesty has sent such men to set up an ambush behind enemy lines. Han Tong suddenly smiled.

"Dare to ask Ling Gong! I don't know which direction Yang Gon rode more than 40,000 steps? Zhang Yue looked thoughtful when he heard this, Guo Rong should not have thought of this section before, but the strength was limited, so he sent this kind of miscellaneous army, otherwise how could he go north to fight Taiyuan in the future, could it be to prevent the Liao general Yang Gon from taking the sheep by hand? It's quite possible.

"Yelu Dilu went to the northwest, and it is estimated that he will go north to Changping Pass via Kuishan, and then go north from Luzhou to Taiyuan. The Liao army is strong, and it cannot be easily attacked for the time being, so we will camp in Gaoping first and wait for the edict of the Chinese army. Yao Yuanfu said.

The generals had no opinions, and before dark that evening, they chased to the south of Gaoping City, and took the camp left by the Northern Han Army to station, which saved a lot of effort.

At this time, on the field north of Bagongyuan, the battlefield finally quieted down, and the Zhou army gathered the defeated troops of the Northern Han army, assigned troops to clean up the battlefield, and stationed the camp on the spot. Guo Rong heard that he had caught many deserters from the Right Army, ordered them all to be killed, and warned the troops.

And Fan Aineng and other defeated soldiers of the right army did not run far, heard that the Zhou army was victorious, and led the troops to return one after another, some soldiers ran too far, and did not come back by dawn the next day.

Guo Rong then ordered the whole army to rest for a day, selected thousands of soldiers who surrendered in the Northern Han Dynasty to form a new group to follow the command of Shun, and ordered the former Wusheng Jiedu march Sima Tang Jingsi to lead the march to Huaibei to garrison. The rest of the thousands of old and weak soldiers were given clothes and travel expenses, and they were sent home to farm.

Subsequently, Guo Rong ordered the army to march out, arrived at Luzhou Shangdang on the 23rd, and joined forces with Fu Yanqing, the commander of the Tianxiong Army, and Li Yun, the commander of the Zhaoyi Army, and temporarily stationed in the camp in the west of the city to rest. Ordered the detective to spy on Liu Chong's traces, and heard that Liu Chong was wearing coarse cloth clothes and hats, but riding the Huang Lu horse given by the Liao army, and led hundreds of horsemen to flee back to Taiyuan from the border between Jinzhou and Luzhou, Diaojialing and Liangmazhai in remote places.

On the twenty-fifth day, everything was decided, and only the follow-up grain and grass were still coming up. Guo Rong took advantage of his free time to behead the right army, Fan Aineng, He Hui and other escapees, and then purge military discipline. But the war is not over yet, and it is taboo to cut it in battle, and Guo Rong hesitates.

In broad daylight that day, Guo Rong was lying in the military tent with a heavy heart, and when Zhang Yongde came in, Guo Rong expressed his worries about this matter and asked for his opinion.

Zhang Yongde looked at Guo Rong's face and secretly guessed that Guo Rong wanted to reorganize the army, but he was worried in his heart, afraid of causing a backlash from the generals of the army, so he was sure in his heart and replied: "Fan Aineng and others have no great merit and occupy a high position, and they are in battle to see the enemy and flee, although they are dead, they cannot be redeemed. And Your Majesty wants to calm the chaos in the world, if the military law is not established, although there are millions of tigers and wolves, I am afraid it will not be used by Your Majesty. ”

"That's a great thing!" When Guo Rong heard this, he threw the pillow to the ground, and shouted to the guards outside the tent: "Zhang Yue and the scattered members of the Chuan Hui Prefecture have sent Zhao Kuangyin here!" ”

Since arriving at the camp in Gaoping, Zhang Yue left wounded soldiers again, and only led two battalions of horse army and five battalions of infantry to go north with the forbidden army, and arrived in Luzhou for a few days, the soldiers had nothing to do, and finally got a full rest.

On this day, Zhang Yue was inspecting the camp and appeasing the soldiers, and when he heard that Guo Rong had summoned him, he hurriedly rushed to the outside of the Chinese army's tent with a few inner halls, and met Zhao Kuangyin who also came. This time, everyone made a great contribution and greeted happily.

Zhao Kuangyin laughed heartily and said: "General Zhang is brave, he dragged the left army of the Northern Han Dynasty with his own men, and beheaded the fierce general Zhang Yuanhui, and the name of General Zhang has been spread all over the army in the past few days, which is really enviable!" ”

"Zhao Du has won the award, I am ashamed, but I won by luck because of the siege of my subordinates, and I almost couldn't come back! I also heard that Zhao Du made the light cavalry break the formation and turned the tide of the battle in one fell swoop, and the brave momentum made the three armies excited, and Zhang was also envious, jealous and hateful! Zhang Yue looked proud, but replied humbly, and also flattered by the way.

Zhao Kuangyin laughed when he heard this, and said in a loud voice: "Don't dare to be!" When we return to Tokyo, our brothers will have a treat together, so that the brothers left behind will be envious, jealous and hateful, and that will be called happiness! ”

"Haha...... That's a good idea! Your Majesty is waiting, let's see you! Zhang Yue suddenly found that Zhao Kuangyin's bold spirit always has the power to infect people's hearts, and there is also a tendency between words, which may be the charm of personality. (To be continued.) )
