readx;

Li Wei's chest, thighs, and back all had scars, Chen Yuan was very shocked, and secretly thought in his heart, it seems that this kid doesn't need to do a few wounds after going back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lang Zhong looked at them one by one, and finally came to the conclusion that he had lost too much blood and his surname was a little dangerous, but according to Li Wei's body, as long as he recuperated well, there should be no problem.

On the battlefield, the real decisive battle began, Liu Ping personally put on armor and led the team into the enemy formation.

On the yellowed field in this autumn, the bloody battle between the party cavalry and the Song Dynasty infantry, the vigorous posture on the horse, and the strict phalanx collided with each other.

Swords and guns intersected, and the swords and halberds flickered back and forth, bringing out a blood mist, and the soldiers on both sides were like groups of wild beasts, already red-eyed.

All kinds of weapons only care about slashing at the opponent, as long as they can cut the opponent to the ground, nothing else matters!

They have even forgotten their last name! There is also the rise of killing, simply take off their clothes, only wear a hat to make it easier to distinguish their comrades, fight with the enemy bare-chested, and on the battlefield, the head, ears, palms, soles of the feet, intestines, and the heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys, whatever you want, everything is all over the ground.

After some fighting, Gao Yingxi successfully cut off the opponent's attack wave, which means that the Song army has the opportunity to completely annihilate the party soldiers, and it also means that Gao Yingxi's team will be attacked from both sides!

The encircled party members tried hard to break through this small square team and break out of the encirclement of the Song army, and Li Yuanhao in the back was also like crazy, driving the party troops to attack.

Gao Yingxi looked at the enemies rushing on both sides and was not afraid, those who wanted to break through were panicked, and there was no formation at all.

He devoted most of his troops to defending Li Yuanhao's side.

Li Yuanhao didn't think about failure at all when he launched the attack, he now realized the power of these Song troops, but he didn't believe at all that this group of more than 100 Song troops could block his own attack!

What I didn't believe finally happened, and the squad of the Song army responded to the battle under the command of Gao Yingxi.

They were all veterans, and unlike the new troops, the crossbow arrows in their hands were more lethal, and they even dared to calmly replace the crossbow boxes when the opposing cavalry had already rushed to within fifty paces.

The palm thunder was thrown out of their hands, and it was basically exploded on the top of the heads of the party members!

The 2,000-strong assault team collapsed before it could rush in front of the squad, leaving behind more than 800 bloody corpses and retreating in disarray.

This is the elite!

Li Yuanhao was a little crazy, he knew that he couldn't afford to lose this battle. If those surrounded party members are killed by the Song army, they will be finished!

Li Yuanhao no longer cared about his image as an emperor, took off the dragon robe and put on the battle armor, he wanted to personally lead the troops to break through this line of defense!

At this time, Yang Wenguang's personal soldiers attacked again, and this time they did go around in a circle and pounced directly on Li Yuanhao's rear! The defensive line formed by Li Yuanhao in a hurry was rushed away by Yang Wenguang, and the four hundred personal soldiers rushed into the deepest part of the enemy formation like a whirlwind.

His spear is picked up when he sees people, as if he were in a no-man's land.

The party members were suddenly a little flustered, and Li Yuanhao stared at Yang Wenguang with a face like ashes! He knew that he had lost, Yang Wenguang was killed at this time, and if he went to intercept him, there would be no way to rescue those troops who were surrounded by the Song army. If he didn't intercept it, he would have killed the military formation, and he might even get into the thousands of people he had left!

Li Yuanhao has been in battle for a long time, and he forced himself to calm down.

But he can be calm, but those party soldiers can't! Especially those who were surrounded, seeing that Li Yuanhao could not be counted on, and the Song army was so fierce, a bloody corpse stimulated their nerves, and their nerves were so fragile when there was not much food in their stomachs.

At this time, some soldiers began to try to drop their weapons, holding their heads and kneeling on the ground, begging for a way to live. In their opinion, instead of counting on Li Yuanhao to save themselves, it is better to count on the opponent to have mercy now.

To their surprise, except for a few Song Jun who were killed and killed madly at the beginning, the rest of the Song Jun actually accepted their surrender. Thus, like a plague, this phenomenon spread rapidly, and large numbers of party soldiers laid down their arms in despair.

And after the Song army was sure that the surrounded party members were unable to struggle anymore, the team continued to move forward and actually outflanked Li Yuanhao!

At the same time, a dense stream of crossbow arrows was fired into the military formation of the party members. Those palm thunders were also thrown into the military formation by trebuchets, and with a sound of explosions, the general next to him was terrified: "Long live!" Let's go! If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave! ”

Li Yuanhao, who was originally hesitant, did not hesitate anymore, although he was a little unwilling and helpless, but he could only accept this unwillingness and helplessness.

"Withdraw!"

It's better to take advantage of the fact that the encirclement of the Song army has not yet been formed, just like the general said, if you don't go, you won't be able to go.

When the enemy was about to run, the Song army's congenital defects doomed them to be unable to make effective interceptions. Except for Yang Wenguang's own soldiers, who dared to "farewell" for a while after the opponent's brigade fled under the cover of crossbowmen, the other troops could only watch the horses' hooves of the party members go away.

At this moment, Chen Yuan was even more determined in the idea of building a cavalry!

Li Yuanhao ran away with more than 6,000 people, but the results were brilliant enough!

At the moment when Li Yuanhao retreated, the soldiers of the Song army suddenly burst into a heaven-shattering shout, and Liu Ping was also excited. Even the mountain that was captured by Chen Yuan was surprised.

This is not just a simple matter for the Song Dynasty to win a war, this victory means that Chen Yuan has scattered the last breath in Li Yuanhao's chest, which means that from today on, the Song army can completely compete on the plain with infantry and cavalry!

The fact is that the long-range striking capabilities of the dense crossbows and trebuchets and crossbows, if used in a coordinated manner, are enough to destroy the speed of the cavalry, and even in the midst of a melee, organized small groups can resist the enemy's charge.

Geng Tiande quickly counted the results of the battle: "General, we killed more than 11,000 party members and captured 2,100 people, how to deal with these prisoners?" ”

Chen Yuan was very happy, waved his hand and said, "Let them go home." ”

Geng Tiande clenched his fists: "Yes." ”

Liu Ping asked, "Master Horse, are we still fighting?" ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "Fight, go further, take Yaode City, and then the army will be stationed in the city." ”

Liu Ping was stunned for a moment: "Yaode City? I think it's better to take Xiping Mansion, and there are not many defenders in Xiping Mansion now. ”

Of course, Chen Yuan knew that after the Xiping Mansion was defeated, it would be a great shock to the party, but he didn't want to shake Li Yuanhao down now.

Almost all the people in the party are refugees, with Li Yuanhao on the throne, whether he is the emperor or the king, he has to solve these refugees. Even if he uses the means of killing, it has nothing to do with the Great Song Dynasty.

But if Li Yuanhao is allowed to step down now, the problem of those refugees must be solved by the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty does not have that ability at present, at least until the grain from Nanyang is delivered, the Song Dynasty does not have the ability to solve the rations of the party members.

Chen Yuan is a very realistic person, and he will never carry the burden he can't carry, unless he is desperate.

Another very important reason is that Li Yuanhao's family has been operating in the party for many years, which can be said to have a deep foundation. If he goes to fight him now, there will inevitably be some people who are loyal to him who will resist vigorously, and at the same time, most of the party and ordinary people will also feel that the entry of the Song army is an invasion. In such a state of mind, if the rations of the party members are still not solved, the consequences may be very serious.

This is a situation that Chen Yuan does not want to encounter.

So he didn't go to Xiping Mansion, he just laid down a small city like Yaode City, so that Li Yuanhao could feel the pressure at any time.

Since Renzong told him the story of Liao Xingzong's "selection of mastiffs", Chen Yuan deliberately inquired about the details of the selection of mastiffs.

When the mastiff is chosen, the hunter does not release the mastiff immediately, but quietly visits it once a day until it is sure that the mastiff is dying of starvation. Since then, the mastiff has been loyal to its master, because in its view, this master is its savior.

Chen Yuan wanted the party to continue to be chaotic, so that Li Yuanhao's reputation continued to fall in the chaos. When the "mastiff" of the party is about to starve to death, Song Jun will appear in front of those people as a solution.

In this way, the ruling party will be much smoother in the future.

During this period of time, what he should do is to maintain the pressure on Li Yuanhao, make sure that he can defeat him at any time if he wants to defeat him now, and then contact those forces within the party that oppose Li Yuanhao, so that the party that is already struggling with the people will fall into internal war.

Isn't it a little cruel? In the process, countless civilians will die in the war, famine. Among them there may be old people, children, women.

Chen Yuan also knew. But in order for the party items that were accepted by the Great Song Dynasty in the future, there will be no more wars, and the pain now is necessary!

The battle to fight Yaode City was very simple, Yaode City was originally a small city, and now there are only dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled party soldiers stationed there, and the news of Li Yuanhao's defeat is nothing to surprise them. However, after a guy who ran back from the front line told them that as long as they surrendered in the battle with the Song army, they could get four steamed buns, and these people were very excited.

When Chen Yuan led the troops to the bottom of Yaode City, those soldiers shouted excitedly at the head of the city one by one as if they had seen their relatives: "The Song army is here!" Song Jun is here! ”

The commander, who was already in his fifties, took the lead in opening the city gate, and dozens of people also understood the rules of the Song army, put their military uniforms and weapons in place, and then knelt on the ground, waiting for the Song army to give them four steamed buns.

This phenomenon told Chen Yuan that the national will of the party members was almost disintegrated by their belly!

This time when I entered Yaode City, there were only a few dozen residents inside. They are all old and weak, and the younger ones, those who can run, have long since fled.

Chen Yuan looked at the city, and there seemed to be no change from when he left, but it seemed a little more dilapidated.

He immediately ordered the captured party captives to begin to do some manual work under the supervision of the Song army, such as building city walls, building houses on both sides of the streets, and repairing the already dilapidated military camps as his camp this time.

Liu Ping was also arranging the issue of vigilance, and at this time, the news came from the military doctor that Li Wei woke up.
