Chapter 260: Another Victory
After the soldiers received the order, they immediately fired several arrows into the sky one after another, and after a few arrows were released, they immediately dragged a sharp whistling sound upwards, straight into the sky, and finally exploded in mid-air, a few explosions even in the chaotic battlefield, but also spread far away, so that the two armies were shocked, the Song army immediately changed formations, led by the Chinese army, formed a sharp arrow formation, and brazenly rushed towards the northern army to kill the past, and the army in the center was responsible for breaking through the river in the morning, Huang Yan once again dressed neatly, led the army towards the Chinese army of the Northern Army led by Yu Tan.

Yu Tan had to rise up and lead the troops to meet Huang Yan, and then the two met together in the army, Huang Yan had already mounted his horse at this time, still dancing his steel spear in his hand, and Yu Tan also danced his Banmen broadsword, and the two fought together when they met.
Huang Yan over the years, martial arts have not fallen at all, when the Sanshan scattered people to pass on his marksmanship, now he has already practiced perfectly, a big gun in his hands is elusive, a few moves past, will be killed in the pond a crooked armor oblique is difficult to parry.
Thieves are great! Yu Tan shouted, turned his horse and ran, Huang Yan slapped his horse and danced his spear and followed after him, leading many trappers to crash into Yu Tan's personal barracks.
Although the pro-soldier under the command of Yu Tan is very strong, but in front of the Zhongshun army trapped, it seems so vulnerable, coupled with the difference in the equipment level of the two armies, Huang Yan led the army to tear the pro-soldier camp in Tan to pieces, and fled in the desert, and the northern army immediately began to fall into chaos.
And what made the northern army even worse was that at this time in the southwest direction, suddenly there was a cavalry, black-clothed and black-armored cavalry among the flags and banners, one of the big flags on a big book Song characters, the other big flag on the big book loyal to the army three words, they from far to near, like a storm like a wind, raised the dust in the sky, after they appeared, there was no pause, the war horse four hooves flying, carrying the knights above, like the wind swept in.
The northern army had already become the end of the crossbow at this time, and when they saw the cavalry of the Song army suddenly appear on their flank, they were even more in an uproar, and Yu Tan was chased by Huang Yan and fled everywhere at this time, and no one organized to stop the attack of the Song cavalry.
The cavalry of the thousand Song Dynasty immediately rushed into the northern army formation, and immediately the knights began to release arrows from afar, and the arrows fell on the northern army like flying locusts, and after approaching, these cavalry put away their short bows, took off the spears on horseback, and broke into the northern army with a roar, the spears were swayed, and a bloody storm was raised, only to see that these cavalry successively used spears to knock over the northern army generals in front of them, and some people's spears were stuck by the bones after entering the human body, and it was difficult to pull out for a while, so the cavalry did not hesitate and immediately threw away the guns, but immediately pulled out a scimitar or a mace from the horse's back, and some people took out a very Westernized pointed hammer, in short, these weapons immediately became their more powerful killing moves, and these cavalrymen on horseback waved the short weapons in their hands, and no one could stop them, only to kill the northern soldiers on their backs, and the whole camp was completely chaotic.
The next thing does not need to be described, as soon as the northern army was in chaos, the Song army immediately launched a cover-up, and the morale of the northern army fell sharply, and the panicked soldiers of the northern army couldn't care about anything at this time, and they turned around and fled in all directions, Yu Tan only cared about escaping at this time, and it was too late to gather his subordinates, and the army was defeated like a mountain, and in just a while, it completely became a plate of scattered sand, and the whole army collapsed.
This pursuit battle lasted until it was dark, Huang Yan ordered Ming Jin to collect the troops, and set up the camp on the spot, and the follow-up troops also rushed here, the auxiliaries used a very fast speed to set up the camp down, one by one the Song army returned to the camp with joy, and held a lot of prisoners, surrendered troops, they drove out of more than ten miles in a pursuit battle, a large number of northern troops in the pursuit of the Song cavalry, there was no way to the sky, had to honestly drop the weapon, kneeling on the ground to surrender and pull down, the result was more than 10,000 northern troops, After this battle, it was basically the annihilation of the whole army, and it can be said that less than half of them could really escape from the battlefield, and the rest were either killed or captured by the Song army, and Huang Yan finally won the first big victory of this expedition.
Huang Yan couldn't care that he was already hungry at this time, so he immediately carried out a post-war inventory in the battalion, they fought very resolutely in this battle, but because of the good equipment and the cooperation of the generals, the casualties were actually very limited, a total of less than 500 casualties, many of them were still slightly injured, as long as they were treated carefully, they would soon be able to return to the team and go back to battle, and the Northern Army was miserable, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, nearly 3,000 people were killed, and there were more than 5,000 people on their backs, when counting prisoners of war, Huang Yan also accidentally found a big fish, it turned out that he chased and killed Yu Tan for a long time, but because of the chaos in the army, Yu Tan was able to escape by taking advantage of the chaos, which made Huang Yan very annoyed.
Unexpectedly, when counting the prisoners of war, he unexpectedly found the enemy commander General Tan among the prisoners, and some prisoners expressed their willingness to submit to the imperial court and did not want to follow Li Quan as evil, so he identified Yu Tan among the prisoners.
At this time, Yu Tan has long lost a bit of majesty, a big beard has become a messy short beard at this time, and he has taken off his armor and I don't know where he threw it, and what is even more ridiculous is that this guy's pants are also rotten, with a half-pulled buttocks, only one boot on both feet, and the other foot is bare, and the soles of the feet are also punctured, wrapped in rotten cloth, it can be said that it is more embarrassing and embarrassing, it is just a fight with Hanako.
When he was recognized, Yu Tan wanted to pretend to be calm, but when he looked down at his virtue, he couldn't wait to find a piece of tofu on the spot and knock him down.
It turned out that after Yu Tan's defeat, he finally escaped Huang Yan's pursuit, and when he was fleeing in a panic, his war horse suddenly hit a stray arrow on his buttocks, and then the horse lost its front hooves and threw him off the war horse, and the war horse also broke its front legs, so that Yu Tan could not escape on horseback, Tan himself cut off the conspicuous long beard with a short knife, took off his armor and fled in a panic all the way, but was caught up and captured by the Song army.
Hahahaha! Yu Tan, Yu Tan! It's a shame that you're so capable! You actually didn't lose Li Quan's face today, if you are a little more prepared, we don't know who will die, come here, change General Yu into clean clothes, and then find him a pair of boots to change on, please go outside and wait alone! Huang Yan laughed out loud, and ordered his subordinates to take the embarrassed Yu Tan out of the prisoner camp and take him into custody alone, which can be regarded as a complete peace of mind.
Before this battle, in fact, Huang Yan had already been optimistic about the terrain, and sent the cavalry to the upper reaches of the river, found a very shallow section of the river in the upstream, and then ordered the cavalry to cross the river overnight, and found a forest on the north bank of the river to hide temporarily.
And this battle Huang Yan also opened up the road to Chuzhou, captured a large number of enemy supplies, mules, horses and other things in Renhe Town, that night Huang Yan let the army in the fire head army on the battlefield to get some dead horses, mules, etc. and wounded war horses are cooked, a good reward for the generals and soldiers, each has a big meal, the next morning, he ordered a battalion of soldiers and horses, escorted these prisoners, and escorted the seriously wounded soldiers in this battle, and sent them to the Xu Xiji army north of Yangzhou for disposal.
And Huang Yan did not stay in Renhe Town for a long time, and after a short rest, he immediately set up troops and rushed in the direction of Chuzhou.
Li Quan is leaking at this time happened to rain overnight, one by one bad news flew like pieces of paper, the Song army's offensive was sharp and abnormal, he arranged the soldiers and horses south of Chuzhou were defeated in successive battles, and the entire area south of Chuzhou was basically recaptured by the Song army, and his soldiers and horses suffered huge losses, and his generals were either killed or captured one by one, or ran away without a trace.
The worse news is that the Mongolian army he was expecting, did not drive straight into the Jingdong region as he expected, but was blocked in the north by Peng Yibin's army and ** army, this news disappointed him, and also made him lose the last support, now he can be said to steal chickens and rice, and his reputation has also stinked, which makes the hearts of the people in his army fluctuate, not to mention, he has not received strong support from the Mongols.
Zhou Jun and Fu Daquan on the side of the Flying Tiger Army were not idle, he had just relieved the siege of Shuyang, after Fu Daquan retreated to Guanyun County, he had just withdrawn to Chuzhou, Fu Daquan sent troops for the second time, and sent troops to attack Shuyang again, the angry Li Quan scolded Fu Daquan for being shameless, but at the moment he could not send troops to repair Fu Daquan again.
After Zhou Jun led the troops to capture Pizhou, he did a short rest in Pizhou and completely stabilized the situation in Pizhou City, and Liu Chengyi immediately sent a town defender army to Pizhou to take over Zhou Jun's defense, so Zhou Jun immediately led the troops again, set off from Pizhou, and ran in the direction of Chuzhou from the other side.
The current situation can be said to be embattled for Li Quan, although Peng Yibin and **'s soldiers and horses were dragged by the Mongolian army and did not come to attack him, but the Song army and the Flying Tiger army made it difficult for him to parry, and Li Quan had to devote himself to the preparation for the defense of Chuzhou.
Gao Huaiyuan also quickly learned the news that Huang Yan led the army to win a complete victory in Renhe Town, of course, it was a burst of joy, and immediately forwarded the news to the imperial court, and informed all the soldiers in the army, which made the morale of the already rainbow even more invigorated, and the Song army accelerated the speed of advancing towards Chuzhou.
