The sun is scorching, the wind is blowing!

Yang Xiaoyu hit the horse and stationed in the Chinese army, and the Yang character general next to him hunted in the wind, dancing proudly in the sky.

The cavalry in the formation was unusually quiet, they condensed their ears to listen to the shouts of battle not far away, and the spears in their hands couldn't help but nest tightly.

"My lord, can Vice General Sun resist the thief army?" Zhou Tong leaned on Yang Xiaoyu's side and asked confidently.

Yang Xiaoyu didn't know if Sun Chuanting could defeat the thief army with five hundred cavalry, so he shook his head when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Regardless of whether Vice General Sun can defeat the thief army, our army is lined up here, waiting for work, and when the thief army comes to the town, treat them well with artillery, even if it can't break the enemy, it can also make the thief army unable to move forward half a step!" ”

"My lord, after this battle, isn't it time to let the brothers sleep well, the soldiers and horses under the command of the lower official have not closed their eyes for two days and nights, and if they continue to fight like this, they will have to die of exhaustion on the battlefield!" Cao Tai asked in a low voice.

Yang Xiaoyu nodded, most of the officers and soldiers have not been together for two days and nights, and the thief army is the same, what they are fighting now is perseverance, which side has momentum, which side of the soldiers and horses can defeat the enemy.

However, the thief army burned his eyebrows, as long as they could get rid of Yang Xiaoyu's soldiers and horses and go to Yuncheng, they would not be wasted here with Yang Xiaoyu's brocade guard army!

More than an hour later.

Sun Chuanting led the cavalry to take the lead and returned.

Five hundred cavalry, with a loss of no more than twenty cavalry, can be described as a great victory.

Sun Chuanting had a bit of self-satisfaction on his face, and rode his horse to the front of the Chinese army and arched his hand: "My lord, the lower official has not disgraced his mission, and he has broken the 20,000 thief army with 500 cavalry, at this time the formation of the thief army has been chaotic, and the thief army in front of him has retreated like a tide. ”

Yang Xiaoyu believes that Sun Chuanting will not be targeted for no reason. As for the 500 cavalry breaking the 20,000 thief army, he directly omitted it, if it really broke the thief army, how could Sun Chuanting collect the troops and come back to report to him.

"Zhou Tong, send someone to spread the word, and let the middle-aged people in the town with weapons follow behind the army of the official to kill the enemy. If you dare to disobey, the official will kill them first! A cold color flashed on Yang Xiaoyu's face, and he ordered in a cold voice.

Zhou Tongzhong lowered his head and immediately sent someone to pass the order.

In the decisive battle of the battle formation, momentum is particularly important.

If an army of 3,000 people wants to defeat a thief army that is several times more than several times stronger, it must have the momentum to make the thief army tremble.

And although these prime of life can't kill the enemy, they can give the officers and soldiers strength and make the thief army tremble.

"Adjutant General Sun, you lead the cavalry first. This official led the step to ride out! ”

Yang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and ordered.

"Xiaguan is one step ahead!" Sun Chuanting was waiting for this sentence, and then turned the horse's head and galloped away.

After the cavalry took the lead, Yang Xiaoyu ordered Cao Tai's soldiers and horses to stay here first to prepare for the response, and swept away with Zhou Heguang and Zhou Tong's soldiers and horses.

Dozens of miles of open land, the cavalry is the king of Hades.

When the thieves' infantry saw the official cavalry returning again, they fled in panic one by one.

The formation of the thief army, which stretched for several miles, was suddenly chaotic. Many thieves fled from all directions.

Sun Chuanting led the cavalry to roll up the smoke and dust in the sky, brandished the spear in his hand, and slammed it into the heart of the thief army like a sharp sword.

in the back. Yang Xiaoyu took more than a thousand horsemen to step on earth-shattering steps, rushing towards the chaotic thief army formation.

There were cavalry in front to open the way, and infantry cavalry swept behind.

As soon as the thief army and the official army were defeated, the vanguard thief army fled in a hurry as if they were scattered birds and beasts.

The middle army and the thief army behind were driven by the thief army in front and fled in all directions.

Sun Chuanting and the cavalry swept into the middle of the thief army without any effort, and Yang Xiaoyu behind followed with more than a thousand officers and soldiers.

The thieves were all ordinary people before the thieves. He has never fought a bad battle, and at this time, the defeat is imminent, and he desperately runs away one by one, so he doesn't care about anything else.

The officers and soldiers rolled up the sky like an unstoppable sandstorm and rushed into the thief army.

Yang Xiaoyu's eyes were sharp, and he saw a luxury carriage behind him being protected by a number of thieves and turned around and walked away. Then he shouted: "The commander of the thief army, rush!" As he spoke, the tip of the sword in his hand pointed directly at the carriage that was about to take the road.

When the horsemen next to them heard the words of the main general, they rushed towards the carriage one by one.

Yang Xiaoyu smiled and ordered Zhou Heguang to lead people to quickly step forward and cut off the flag of the thief army, causing the thief army to lose its pillars.

The flag is the heart of the army, and there are many thieves around to protect it with spears.

However, the rout was hard to resist.

Wherever the officers and soldiers passed, the thieves were in a mess, exhausted to flee for their lives, and those thieves who were protecting the general's flag were attacked by the officers and soldiers, and a large number of people were immediately killed and wounded.

Zhou Heguang carried a bloody spear and cut off the flag of the thief army with his own hands.

The thief's banner suddenly disappeared, which means that the main general may have been killed.

The already panicked thief army saw that the general flag was not there at this time, and they were frightened like frightened birds, and many thieves actually threw away their spears and crawled on the ground to ask the officers and soldiers to surrender.

The red-eyed horsemen only recognized their clothes and did not recognize people, regardless of whether the thieves surrendered or not, they dodged past with a knife, and blood splattered three feet.

Yang Xiaoyu looked coldly at the cavalry killing the thief army who asked for surrender, there was no fluctuation in his eyes, these thief troops were still the people who guarded themselves a few months ago, but they were hot, followed the wrong person, went the wrong way, even if they did not die on the battlefield, they would be executed by the court after being captured.

Therefore, Yang Xiaoyu couldn't spare their lives, not to mention, whether a team could become a cowardly tiger and wolf army of the enemy, it would take blood to temper their wolf nature.

At this time, these weak and timid thieves became their whetstone.

Looking at the battlefield for several miles, there were pieces of dead corpses.

Blood stained the still soil red, and the land under the scorching sun was slowly eroded by blood and changed color.

10 p.m.

The slaughter stopped, and corpses lay on the ground, broken guns and swords thrown on the ground, and blood flowed from west to east.

More than 20,000 thieves fought a battle, nearly 4,000 thieves were beheaded, and the rest of the thieves fled in all directions.

As long as Yang Xiaoyu had less than 800 horsemen around him, the rest of the soldiers and horses were chasing and killing the thieves in all directions.

For him, this battle can be described as a success.

Yang Xiaoyu sent an order to the generals, and the poor Kou Mo chased after him, and quickly returned to the camp.

In addition, Qinghe Town sent more than 300 young men to help the officers and soldiers clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses, saving Yang Xiaoyu a lot of trouble.

When Zhou Heguang and Zhou Tong each led their subordinates to chase the enemy back, only Sun Chuanting was nowhere to be found.

Yang Xiaoyu is not worried about Sun Chuanting's department, its troops are all cavalry, there is no shadow on this land, as long as it is not a special thing, there will be no danger, he turned around and ordered Zhou Tong to say a few words, and took his soldiers and horses to Qinghe Town.

When the old people in the town heard that it was the official army that had defeated the thief army outside, they hurriedly organized music and drums to greet them.

Yang Xiaoyu was not polite to them, and directly asked them to vacate three courtyards in the town for the officials and soldiers to live in, and did not want their filial piety and food, and went straight to the courtyard in the town to rest.

Of course, when he was resting, he did not forget to let Zhou Heguang's department send a hundred households to set up a sentry within a radius of ten miles outside the town to prevent the thief army from returning to prevent the thief army from returning.

When all the officers and soldiers entered the town to rest, Sun Chuanting came back, he led the cavalry to chase and kill the carriage for more than fifty miles, and let the carriage escape, so angry that he came back and scolded, scolding God for helping the thief and not helping him.

Yang Xiaoyu was amused when he heard it, if he guessed correctly, there was no doubt that the person in the carriage should be Xu Hongru!

At present, he led his troops to defeat Xu Hongru's 30,000 army, which can be said to have bought enough time for the official army to capture Yuncheng, and now it depends on whether the officials and soldiers can capture Yuncheng in a short time and eradicate Xu Hongru's nest.

Yang Xiaoyu ordered the army to rest here for two days, and sent a fast horse back to Beijing to show that he led the army to defeat Xu Hongru's 30,000 army, and the thief leader Xu Hongru fled, he was leading the army to pursue, and he would soon be able to capture the city occupied by the thief army.

This performance is a bit exaggerated, Yang Xiaoyu thought that with the merit of breaking the enemy of 30,000, how could he be mixed with the title of a third-grade official after returning to Beijing.

After sending the send-off, Yang Xiaoyu immediately sent a sentry cavalry, asking them to unite the reinforcements from the surrounding counties and various places in the name of Qincha, and let them assemble outside Qinghe Town, and at the same time, send the sentry cavalry to investigate the further movements of the thief army.

And he took the riders to recuperate in Qingshui Town.

Ten days later.

Outside Qingshui Town, nearly 6,000 reinforcements from all over the country have been stationed, most of these reinforcements are from Henan and several counties in northern Shandong, they are sent to support Shandong on the order of the Ministry of War.

Yang Xiaoyu treated these reinforcements very well, personally met with the two guerrilla generals in the reinforcements, and ordered them to lead their troops to be stationed outside the town, and wait for the specific news of the thief army to be found out, and then discuss the matter of sending troops.

Within a few days, news came from the Sentinels.

Shandong Dusi commanded Yang Guodong to lead the army to break through Yuncheng, and Yang Zhaoji, the general soldier of Datong, led 40,000 soldiers and horses to Tengxian, attacking the city along the way, grabbing the pass and seizing the danger, killing more than 20,000 enemies.

Yang Xiaoyu read the letters of the two, which were nothing more than some self-reported achievements, and finally asked Yang Xiaoyu to lead the army to Tengxian and capture Tengxian with them.

Yang Xiaoyu also had this intention, staying in Qinghe Town all the time, watching the thief army getting fewer and fewer, and the chance of meritorious service was slim, although he might not be able to make great achievements in Tengxian County, but the credit for quelling the rebellion could not run.

The next day, Yang Xiaoyu gave the order to go down, and the armies prepared to pull out their camps and rush to Tengxian.

Tengxian County is located in the southeast of Shandong, connecting with Jiangsu, Anhui and other places, and can directly reach Qiantang River, Wujiang and other places from the waterway.

Starting from Qinghe Town, less than 600 miles away, you can rush to Teng County.

Yang Xiaoyu led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, passing through the lower reaches of the Yellow River and rushing to Tengxian County day and night along the north bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

Along the way, Yang Xiaoyu ordered all departments to speed up, and they must rush to the outskirts of Tengxian County in front of the local soldiers and horses in Shandong. (To be continued......)
