Chapter 11 Yangping's Great Victory
Ten miles away from Yangping Pass, Ganning Zhou Tai led the army to wait for the fighters.
Straddled the horses and lined up in front of the formation, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai held their heads high, their faces were calm, and although the army of 15,000 people behind them was also unarmored and not sharp, but at this time, the formation was in an orderly manner, and the soldiers looked ahead without saying a word, which was completely a scene of waiting for the battle.
As the saying goes, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general, a strong general is not only brave, but also depends on the wisdom and management of the army.
A probe horse came back to report: "Report, general, Zhang Baiqi General Yangping Pass called for battle, and the guard general Yang Ang led 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the pass to meet the battle, and at this moment General Zhang led the army to flee to this side." ”
Gan Ning, whose face did not change, said in a deep voice: "Explore again!" ”
Zhou Tai glanced at Gan Ning, he already had the urge to send troops to support Zhang Baiqi, but after looking at Gan Ning, who was as steady as Mount Tai and had a stern face, he still suppressed his impulse.
After another moment, Tanma hurriedly came back and said: "Report, General Zhang was chased by Yang Ang's army after fleeing for two miles, and at this moment he is retreating and killing, and there is a scuffle ahead. ”
Gan Ning's eyes suddenly widened and said: "I will immediately lead the army forward, and you will report the battle situation in front to General Gao, who is ten miles behind, and there must be no mistake." ”
After watching the Tanma go to the rear, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai immediately led the army to advance towards Yangping Pass.
Twenty miles away from Yangping Pass, Gao Shun led five thousand light horsemen to wait for a long time, and after having to probe the horse, he closed his eyes and pondered, and did not give the order to attack, and after a while, he opened his eyes and turned to the soldiers and said: "In this battle, we must enter the city before the gate of Yangping Pass is closed, and then, occupy the city gate, and must not disobey the order." ”
After the sound of agreement came in unison, Gao Shun took the lead, followed by five thousand light horsemen behind him, calmly and orderly.
Yang Ang, who chased and killed Zhang Baiqi, has never been so happy, and the water dog is comfortable to fight, not only enjoyable, but also so bad that the other party can't do it!
Chasing after the enemy like chopping melons and vegetables, Yang Ang smiled and looked for Zhang Baiqi's figure.
Although Zhang Baiqi, who was riding on a horse, was in the rear when he fled, the four-legged horse was a canter, and after two miles, it also surpassed the two-legged person.
Seeing that Zhang Bai was running away from the desert but not running fast, Yang Ang's murderous intent was great, and he shouted at the soldiers beside him: "Do you see the thief general riding on the horse in front?" Whoever beheads him, this general will be rewarded! ”
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention the battlefield military merits that can be promoted, Yang Angjun was immediately inspired, and chased and killed frantically, wielding a knife to kill the thieves who stood in the way, and the three thousand army approached Zhang Bai and rode away.
Zhang Baiqi, who was riding on a horse, was not a taste in his heart, he wanted to make a contribution in the first battle, but he didn't expect to receive the military order to know that he was here to be a bait, and it was difficult to ride a tiger and could only come hard, at this time the five thousand troops behind him had been killed, and only less than two thousand remained, and Yang Ang's army was gradually approaching.
Zhang Baiqi, who secretly hated in his heart, reluctantly muttered while looking back at the scene behind him: If the reinforcements don't come again, I can only flee at full speed.
Just when Zhang Baiqi wanted to escape alone, the reinforcements finally appeared, only to see Gan Ning Zhou Tai leading 15,000 foot soldiers to rush to kill, Zhang Baiqi, who had a bottom in his heart, grabbed the reins and turned the horse's head, and yelled at Yang Ang: "Zhang Bai of the Taiping Army is riding here, and the enemy general will not get off his horse and die!" ”
Yang Ang was shocked, and he hurriedly stopped his horse, and saw countless foot soldiers rushing in the distance, and secretly shouted: It's a trick!
Turning the horse's head and about to run back, Yang Ang ordered and shouted: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly, there is fraud!" ”
The situation on the scene took a sharp turn for the worse, and Yang Ang, who was originally chasing and killing the enemy, instantly switched to the situation with the enemy and became hunted down.
"Get out of the way!"
Yang Ang's previous pursuit had fallen into the enemy's army, and at this moment he turned around and retreated, not only the enemy was chasing and killing, but also his own soldiers were blocking the way, and he was in a hurry to panic in the middle.
Three thousand well-armored soldiers with sharp weapons did not expect to turn around and flee after chasing them, looking at the mighty infantry of at least 10,000 people, Yang Angjun's combat strength was greatly reduced, and he immediately turned around and ran back.
Finally riding out of the cracks in the people, Yang Ang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect the sound of horses' hooves in his ears, and when he looked back, he immediately panicked.
The harsh and indifferent Gan Ning was carrying a longbow and a short-handled long knife in his hand, and Zhou Tai on the other side also came to chase with a long knife and a fierce face.
Gan Ning Zhou Taiyi sandwiched Yang Ang in the middle from left to right, wielding a long knife to strike left and right, as if he wanted to cut Yang Ang under the horse.
Yang Ang, who lowered his head and hugged the horse's head, was shocked, and fled with all his strength to the Chaoyang Pingguan.
Zhang Wei, who was standing on the Yangping Pass, was still secretly scolding Yang Ang for stealing merit and not being righteous at first, but at this time, Yang Ang was already thankful that Yang Ang blocked a difficulty for him.
The rumbling sound shook the heavens and the earth, Zhang Wei raised his eyes, and suddenly his face was bloodless, Gao Shun led five thousand light horsemen to cross the infantry army outside the pass, and attacked Yangping Pass.
"Close the gates! Fast! The frightened Zhang Wei immediately ordered, but his subordinates were still a little hesitant.
"This, General Yang hasn't returned yet."
Zhang Wei looked at the pass, but also in a dilemma, Yang Ang was hit by Gan Ning Zhou Tai and fled in embarrassment, less than a mile away from the city gate, behind the three fast horses, the five thousand light cavalry led by Gao Shun was getting closer and closer, and it was less than two miles away from the city gate.
"Go down and prepare! As soon as General Yang returned to the city, the city gates were immediately closed. ”
Zhang Wei, who was helpless, had no choice but to pray for Yang Ang to run faster, oh, it was the horse under Yang Ang's crotch to run faster.
Gan Ning Zhou Tai, who was sandwiched in the middle and wanted to kill, actually wanted to kill Yang Ang, one combination was enough, and it was a flanking attack at the moment, but on the one hand, it limited Yang Ang's speed of returning to the city, and on the other hand, the two of them were afraid that the guards would close the gate regardless of Yang Ang.
Seeing that Yang Ang still had a hundred meters to enter the city, and the five thousand light cavalry behind him was less than a mile, and the distance of hundreds of meters was only a few seconds for the cavalry.
Zhang Wei didn't care if Yang Ang was alive or dead, if the city gate was lost, Yangping Pass would inevitably fall.
"Close the gates!"
His subordinates were still hesitating, Zhang Wei turned around and roared at the soldiers at the gate: "Close the city gate quickly!" Those who dare to delay the military order, kill! ”
Yang Ang was dumbfounded, why did the city gate start to close? I haven't gone in yet, less than a hundred paces away!
Seeing that the city gate began to close, Gan Ning Zhou Tai no longer played with Yang Ang, Zhou Tai slashed with his knife, domineering, and a head flew far away, rushing out of a blood spring, swaying to the ground.
Gan Ning, who was once proud of the Jinfan thief, looked like an eagle at this time, took off the longbow on his back, put on two arrows, and the bow was like the moon, and Gan Ning, who was riding on a horse and bumped and undulating, had a calm expression at this time, and his expression was full of great confidence.
Boom
The bowstring sounded crisply, and two arrows shot away, breaking through the air like lightning, only to see the two soldiers who were closing the city gate in Yangping Closed City Gate flying upside down, dying on their backs, each with an arrow stuck in their foreheads.
It was these two arrows that slightly slowed down the closing of the city gate, and when it was closed, Zhang Wei ordered the arrows to be shot to death Gan Ning and Zhou Tai in horror and horror.
But the two of them brandished their weapons and calmly blocked the arrows, and rushed towards the Yangping Gate without slowing down at all.
Squeak, bang!
Just when the gate was closed and the gate had not yet fallen, Gan Ning Zhou Tai killed at the same time, and the horse's hooves kicked on the city gate with the great force of galloping, and knocked the city gate half-open, and the soldiers in the city gate were knocked away, but they quickly got up and had to close the city gate again.
Ganning Zhoutai rode on a horse and slashed the soldiers who wanted to close the city gate, the vibration behind him was getting louder and louder, and after only killing a few soldiers, Ganning Zhoutai suddenly found that the soldiers in front of him dropped their weapons and fled, and when they turned their heads, the two saw Gao Shun's five thousand cavalry arrive!
The cavalry drove straight in, the sound of horses' hooves shook the sky, and the gate of Yangping was lost in an instant!
There are more than 10,000 defenders in the pass, but the preparation is not sufficient, at this time pick up weapons and hurriedly resist, the combat strength is not enough when the general commands three percent.
Outside the pass, 3,000 Yang Ang's army also quickly surrendered or died, Zhang Bai led more than 16,000 foot soldiers to rush to Yangping Pass, the rain of arrows on the city tower struck, but it was difficult to stop the general trend.
Gan Ning Zhou Tai dismounted and led the army to rush to the city tower, Zhang Wei struggled to resist but was easily killed by Zhou Tai.
When the generals under Yang Ang and Zhang Wei saw the death of the two major commanders and were still hesitating whether to continue to resist, more than 200,000 people and horses were slowly approaching outside Yangping Pass.
The commander of the unified army straddles a red-maned horse, wears mighty armor, wears a green dragon cloak on his shoulders, and the heroic young coach has a stern face, which is Guo Jia.
Seeing the dense army approaching from afar, all the low-level generals of Yangping Pass were as cold as ice, and when they saw the wild word "Guo" on the boss, they couldn't imagine which coach was surnamed Guo.
At this point, more than 1,000 soldiers were beheaded in Yangping Pass, and the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers all surrendered.
Guo Jiace led the army to Yangping Pass without hurry, and the battlefield was quickly cleaned up, and at the gate, Gan Ning Zhou Tai, Gao Shun and Zhang Bai rode left and right, looking at Guo Jia who was gradually approaching with excitement and reverence in his eyes.
Yangping Guan was victorious, and they all knew what it meant.
This was the first city they had captured, although it wasn't technically a city.
This also marks Guo Jia's official first step in the struggle for hegemony, and officially announced to the world: Among the heroes who compete in the world, there is now one more person named Guo Jia.
Before coming to Yangping Pass, Guo Jia turned over and dismounted, and said that when he was in the air, Guo Jia, who was wearing armor and majestic and majestic, walked into Yangping Pass with a calm face, on the inside of the city gate, he stopped, turned his head to look at Zhang Baiqi, who was a little embarrassed in his armor, and stretched out his hand to stroke his shoulder, Guo Jia said gently: "General Zhang, you have made a lot of contributions to conquering Yangping Pass." ”
Zhang Baiqi, who was full of sourness and even resentment in his heart before, was extremely moved at this moment, and immediately knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "Lord, it is General Gan, General Zhou, and General Gao who are brave enough to attack Yangping Pass at the last moment, and the last general, the last general will not dare to take credit." ”
Guo Jia helped him up and said in a deep voice: "General Zhang, you lure the enemy out, and the danger is everywhere, without you, I can't enter this Yangping Pass." ”
Zhang Baiqi looked at Guo Jia's sincere gaze, and an unrelieved excitement lingered in his heart.
