Chapter 117: Picking Up (I)

More than 1,000 armor and light horses, and the red tassels on the top of the helmet fluttered like a cluster of flames on the desolate land of Yandi in autumn.

This is half of the light cavalry of the Shengjie army led by Xiao Yan, everyone is equipped with two horses, in order to get these mounts for them, the part of the Shengjie army left in Danzhou has let a lot of war horses come out

Everyone knows that the foothold in Danzhou is still unstable, and the movement of the Jurchen soldiers and horses in front is unknown. But everybody's in high spirits.

I just thought that Xiao Yan was at the forefront of them this time!

Cavalry comes and goes like the wind, throughout the ages, as long as the cavalry is still an important part of the army, it has always been to advocate the spirit of active attack, and it has never been difficult for cavalry to use the battle line to limit death. Even if the Great Song Dynasty in history has never been famous for its strong cavalry, the Great Song Dynasty, the only elite light cavalry group, advocating the active cavalry temperament, has not diminished slightly.

An army of 100,000 people, hedgehogs gathered in the Gaoliang River, and the elite soldiers gathered in one place. But when he heard that the Jurchens were going south, since Liu Yanqing, no one thought of taking the initiative to resist the Jurchen soldiers and horses, but instead thought about how to find the advantage of Xiao Gan's defeated remnants and rob Yanjing City, as if the Jurchens did not go south.

Only Xiao Yan, who will always be Xiao Yan, led them to roar north to cover the flanks of the entire Song army. Just as he crossed north with hundreds of horsemen on the Baigou River that day, and rolled up a counteroffensive.

When the 100,000-strong army was a shrinking turtle against the Jurchens, they grabbed Danzhou in one fell swoop, and now they are even deeper than a hundred miles, reaching Gubeikou, where they met Brother Paoze, who fought a bloody battle against the enemy!

In this vast land of Youyan, thousands of horses rode north, pulled out the dust and smoke, and followed behind the invincible commander. No matter what the enemy is, just galloping forward, this is the real Great Song Dynasty cavalry Youyan borderland, late autumn scene, to some like these cavalry most familiar with the scenery of Shaanxi Zhulu, stretching Yan Mountain, quite a northwest mountain scene. In the midst of heaven and earth, the grass is boiling literature. After the war, except for the dock walls that watched them in fear and head north, there was almost no one around. It seems to be like a fertile field at the foot of Hengshan Mountain.

When these victorious light horsemen saw the sight, they all shouted in the ranks. Xiao Yan has always been happy to see his subordinates maintain such high morale and fighting spirit, and sometimes even deliberately support them. At the head of the line, they were not very restrained.

Some of the Shengjie soldiers put their feet on the saddle, while some of the armorers put their armor bags high behind the saddle bridge, half lying down and half leaning on it. Some people were hungry, riding on horseback and gnawing on dry food, well, the sound of whistle and harmony from front to back, alone into the dangerous terrain, there were unpredictable enemies in front of them, but they all talked and laughed loudly as if no one was around.

"Qiu Jiashiro, look, that stopper in front of you doesn't look like the Deshun Army Cage City where you were born? The straight lady thief is a white stone wall, and the sun is shining in the eyes of the flower man! When we were going to follow Xuan Shuai to Jiangnan, your sister came to the camp to take a look, and she was timid, and she was so bold that she could go to people's hearts! Do you still have a promise? If not, if I can come back alive this time, will I be able to do it? ”

"Dream your dreams! My sister-in-law is from Zhong'anbao, how close is it to home? There is no father-in-law and mother-in-law at home, and the sister-in-law is a Sima who is in charge of the army's food and salary, and she can't become a widow when she is idle. How comfortable is this day? Follow you, your head is pinned to the waistband of your trousers, and two of the money have been sent to Guan Pu, and the gambling luck is half a catty compared to our Han Du Yu Marquis. I'm not blessed, I can only charge into battle with you, but you don't want to think about it, sister! ”

"It's really a good place, how can it be robbed for the Liao people for more than 100 years! If there was our Western Army back then, the Liao people would never have been able to cross this Yanshan again! It's amazing that we have been here for more than a hundred years, and there are hundreds of thousands of orphans and widows who can defend the roads in Shaanxi, and we can also guard them in the sixteen states of Yanyun! ”

"If you die, you will be buried here, and the Sprinkle family will look at it, this place is similar to our Shaanxi Zhulu, so I should go home. Who has the kung fu to go home thousands of miles from the coffin cabinet! ”

"I looked at it, when I followed Xuanshuai to the south of the Yangtze River, I thought that I couldn't die there. Hot to death, I can't wait to peel off the skin on my body! Buried there, there are many mosquitoes, and it itches in the ground and turns over! ”

The soldiers in the back whistled and coaxed, and Xiao Yan rode his horse to the front, with a relaxed smile on his face. Commanding such an army is what it feels like to dominate the world. It's hard to describe this feeling, and once you put it in an era when you are still a waste of firewood, you have a little white face. How can you feel that?

But for a normal man, once he experiences such a feeling, it makes people's blood run and it is difficult to give up.

There are even some indulgences in the meantime.

This Shengjie army was first met in Xiongzhou that year.

He was being pressed in the camp by Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan and did not dare to show his head. A discouraged appearance, in the city of Xiongzhou, it is often seen that they are drunk and angry.

You must know that in history, this Shengjie army created an amazing feat of defending Taiyuan until the whole army died in battle!

At that time, it brought Tong Guan into such an appearance. It wasn't until in his own hands that the elite of the light cavalry that gathered the Great Song Jinghua restored its original appearance, crisscrossing the Yan land, even if it was the Jurchen army that destroyed the Liao State in front of it, it was still fearless, head-on, and the lone army went deep!

This sense of accomplishment is also unimaginable to outsiders.

Xiao Yan rode on the horse, coughed, and wanted to find someone next to him to brag a few words and show off his skills. found that Zhang Xian on the left and Tang Huai on the right had a calm face, and no one was in the mood to say a few words with him. The mood of the two of them is also understandable, and their hearts are full of the word Yue Fei!

Yes, Yue Mao, Yue Fei.

Xiao Yan's good mood disappeared in a blink of an eye, and he sighed low in his heart.

Is he still alive?

For Han Shizhong and them, they were even Ma Kuo, who had fought side by side with Yue Fei. Yue Fei is just a newly rising member of the Young General of the Great Song Dynasty, who is brave and loyal, and his future achievements are limitless. But he, like any Great Song military minister, is not impossible to sacrifice in such a critical battle. Even Han Shizhong and Ma Kuo themselves did not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for the victory of the war.

It is precisely because of this that Ma Kuo said with difficulty not to save Yue Fei, hoping that Xiao Yan would stabilize his foothold in Danzhou and gather strength to prepare for a decisive battle with Jurchen. After quickly defeating the enemy, turn south.

Xiao Yan persuaded them with the reason that he had to show the Jurchens the strength of the Great Song Dynasty and his fearless fighting spirit to intimidate Hu Lu, and only then did he lead half of the Shengjie army to resolutely go north.

There is no doubt that this is a convincing reason, and Ma Kuan's surrender is also convinced by Xiao Yan's initiative and boldness. Han Shizhong also complained that he couldn't follow him north.

But ask yourself, how big is it that I chose to go north with this rather adventurous nature, just to rescue Yue Fei?

Thirty fame is dusty, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons.

Return my rivers and mountains, return my rivers and mountains" Give me back my rivers and mountains!

This name is really the most glorious in the history of the nation, and Lan Er is one of the painful names of "every Chinese Yanhuang Zhixuan, but there is a little" one or two do not feel honored that they and the owner of this name are of the same blood. Although this history, because of his arrival, may change forever. But how can he see that because he crossed by himself, this name has lost the brilliance that he should have!

Even if he is willful, even if he is against this *** thief, Lao Tzu has to rescue Yue Fei!

Although the thought in his heart was so, Xiao Yan did not look at it, and even rejected Zhang Xian Tang Huai's request to march concurrently. After all, he led more than 1,000 victorious troops, and he was also responsible for the safety of this military horse.

Although it was equipped with two horses to go north, it was still at the speed of the brigade march. In front and rear, sentinels were widely distributed, and at night, they gathered up camp. The Jurchen horse, after a little contact in Danzhou, retracted very quickly.

These horseback peoples, who are accustomed to fighting, have an excellent sense of strength, and to say that they are fierce and capable of fighting does not mean that there is no situation (the latest chapter of the martial arts http://wWw.23hH.coM).

wWw.23hH.coM) They will fight to the death regardless of their lives, and the so-called ability to fight also includes patience. Wait for the best time for yourself before fighting the enemy to the death!

The news that Danzhou was the Great Song Kefu also quickly spread to the border of Youyan, at the foot of Yan Mountain, and the north of Qidu. According to the news sent back by the sentinels of Guangbu one after another, the Jurchens in Danzhou, but more than 200 true Jurchens, had already retreated straight to the north, but they did not run wildly, and went straight to the Gubeikou to join the brigade. Instead, he stopped at Tufeng and held the dock fortress that had surrendered to them, with abundant reserves and important terrain. When it was before the Gubeikou and the Song army.

The Jurchen unknown general, who commanded more than 200 soldiers and horses, had a fairly good grasp of the war. The first did not fight hard with the opponent, and the second did not retreat, but held the important advance support south of Gubeikou, waiting for the arrival of the army, and making advance preparations for the future battle with the Song army.

Xiao Yan also has some experience in battle formations now, and he finds that his sense of the battlefield doesn't seem to be bad, this is given by God, and it is difficult to cultivate. If he didn't go through a game, he didn't know that he still had such a talent for dragon slaying under the body of his little white-collar worker. When you meet the strongest opponent of this era, the Jurchens, just by looking at their actions with few soldiers and horses ahead, you know that the Jurchens, a fighting nation, have the prestige of sweeping the world in this era in history, which is by no means fortunate!

When you encounter such a big enemy, no matter how much you want to rush to Gubeikou in one go, you have to hold back this eagerness!

More than 1,000 victories and victories, the marching column was divided into three teams, plus a cavalry army behind the palace. Four columns. The number of people is about the same. The cavalry was originally long and scattered, and these four teams of men and horses, and light horses, could control a large part of the battlefield. In addition, Xiao Yan at least scattered more than 100 cavalry sentry spies, wandering out for a long distance in front and back, left and right, it can be said that a radius of dozens of miles is in the eyes and ears of this cavalry army.

The journey of the whole army was not very fast, but in the two days of the road, it also approached the foot of Yanshan, and then turned to the northwest, but dozens of miles, it was the dock wall fort controlled by the Jurchens in front of the sentinel detectives, and after that, twenty or thirty miles forward, it was Gubeikou. The dock walls of the villages and towns guarded by the border in between are now all zoned for self-protection, and they dare not cherry the edge of the thousands of Song Dynasty light riders, some are still waiting, and some are on the way to ask Xiao Yan to ask for help. Xiao Yan sent them to Danzhou to talk to Han Shizhong, and he asked Han Shizhong to do it, so that Han Shizhong could use his talents.

The autumn sky is high and the clouds are light, the vision is excellent, and there are already a few dark and dreary fortresses in front of them, which are the support for the Jurchens to defend their advances. A few of the sentinels in front had already returned from the circle, and more were still on guard in front, and those who came back from a long distance sent out a sharp whistle. Xiao Yan was thinking deeply about his thoughts, and was shocked by the sound of the whistle, and turned around and raised his hand. Several guards behind him shouted an order: "All battalions have their own, wait for Xiao Xuanzan's military order!" ”

The officers under the banner of the victorious soldiers of each team flew forward and galloped towards Xiao Yan at the front. The whole army had stopped, and the armor soldiers who were lazily recuperating on horseback also opened their eyes. Keep an eye on the front. Grasping this effort, some armor soldiers had already taken off the bags and put them on the ears of their mounts. Let the mount eat a little and replenish the body. Almost all of them jumped off their horses, took a few steps on the reins, and gave themselves a slow ride to their mounts.

Xiao Yan sat on the horse, straightened his back, and looked at the dark and heavy dock walls in front of him. It's actually impossible to see anything from such a distance, even the dock wall itself is almost a small black dot, but beyond there, you can face the Gubei Mouth. And the Jurchen brigade going south may be hiding there, waiting for his arrival!

If you go north by yourself, you can't hide it from others. If Gubeikou had been captured at this time, the Jurchen back road would have been opened. If he is a Jurchen general, he will gather the main force, and in this battlefield where they can control zhì, he will give himself a hard blow!

Gubeikou, is it still there? Yue Fei, is he still there? He led this elite of thousands of horsemen and resolutely went north to meet Gubeikou deeply, is it too Menglang?

At this moment, Xiao Yan was a little short of breath, and he couldn't help but want to turn his horse head and go back!

The sound of hooves of dozens of officers flying horses made Xiao Yan shake and suppressed all the wavering in his heart. These Great Song Dynasty elite horsemen under his command, with his banner, the sword mountain and the sea of fire dare to follow him to kill. Isn't it because of the image that he is never defeated and always creating a miracle? No matter what you have in mind, in front of them, you will always put on a confident appearance!

Xiao Yan tried his best to restrain his feelings, turned around and laughed loudly at the dozens of officers who were running towards him: "It's almost to the ground, it's almost two hundred miles deep, the Jurchens are known to be strong, and they can't even see a shadow!" It seems that they may not be able to gnaw down this Gubeikou! ”

The dozens of officers who ushered in erupted in laughter, which will be the courage of the army. Xiao Yan is like this, what are they afraid of? It's not that you haven't fought a war, and you've never seen a dead person. More than 1,000 elite light riders, where can they go sideways?

At that moment, someone laughed and said: "Liaogou blew the Jurchen godson to the sky, and we have also touched it in Danzhou, nothing more than that, Xiao Xuanzan led us to fight all over the world!" Even if there is a large group of Jurchen godsons near Gubeikou, we will kill one back and forth and snatch our own brothers out! ”

"What is snatched out, Gubeikou may still be there. Jurchen shoes don't necessarily have such good teeth! Let's just drive them directly to the south of Gubeikou, and see if they dare to go south! If it weren't for the fact that there was a Yanjing behind us waiting to clean up, I wouldn't have said, we would have crossed Yanshan, returned them a courtesy, and went to their territory! ”

Xiao Yan laughed, turned over and dismounted. Of course, he knew that the Jurchen soldiers and horses were not as unbearable as his subordinates. Historical prestige is not a joke. But at this time, the morale can not be discouraged, and the fighting spirit of the command is high, which is a good thing.

As soon as he got off the horse, Zhang Xian and Tang Huai, one left and one right, all dismounted. Originally, they were loyal to Xiao Yan, but now Xiao Yan personally led the army to pick up Yue Fei, and this gratitude came straight from the bottom of his heart. The two of them have followed Xiao Yan closely for the past two days, only hating that they didn't repay Xiao Yan. As long as Xiao Yan has a look, or a slight tilt of his head, even if there are thousands of troops in front of him, the two of them will kill them without thinking about it!

Dozens of cavalry officers rushed over at this time, dismounted one after another, and surrounded Xiao Yan. Everyone wanted to salute, but Xiao Yan smiled and waved his hand: "Why are there so many rules? Aren't we all living and dying together now? On the military order, Lao Tzu didn't have leniency, and he was impatient to see so many kowtow insects on weekdays! ”

The officers laughed and looked at Xiao Beast intently, waiting for him to give an order.

Xiao Yan crossed his waist and glanced at the dock walls in the northwest, and in the back, it was Gubeikou, but he couldn't see it. He turned back and pointed in the direction of the dock walls: "Jurchen Lezi, now stay in these bird dock walls." However, two or three hundred horsemen, as the support for the advance of their army, Gubeikou, now I don't know if we are here this time, in addition to receiving these brothers in their own robes, we also want to show our great Song army to these Jurchen godsons who are going south! From now on, the front will go straight to the Gubei Mouth. It's only fifty or sixty miles away, and all the horses are left here, and the rear army is guarded, and the rest of the people. With only two days of dry food, let's kill it in one go! ”

The officers' expressions were unconsciously solemn, and they listened with bated breath as Xiao Yan said his plan in a relaxed tone.

, these bird dock walls, directly bypassed from both sides and left. The road is facing the sky, each going to one side, we are too lazy to attack him, they don't dare to come out to intercept me just thinking, anyway, it's all here, the year is alone, the days without support, one less day is much less Feng Xiaoyan touched his chin. looked at the direction of Gubeikou in the distance, and said his judgment lightly. Dozens of generals in armor were cold, huddled around him, and the cavalry around them also kept casting their eyes over, waiting for Xiao Yan's final decision.

Hear him say that. Zhang Xian couldn't hold it back, and roared: "Xiao Xuanzan, what do you say, isn't it just how?" Even if there are thousands of godsons in front of us, we will only rush by following Xuanzan! ”

Xiao Yan looked at him, muttering in his heart, Lao Tzu's face was calm, but he didn't think that you Qiu Ba was really careless and not afraid, thinking that following Lao Tzu was a miraculous victory and then another one, with a thousand horses deep into the dangerous place, without any support, and crashed straight into Gubeikou, anyway, it is one thing that the generals of the Great Song Dynasty will never do in this era, anyway, Lao Tzu is spreading through such awards, so that he will not die, the entire land of Youyan, and the safety of a national hero are all related to him, what is the matter, and only on the hard head. Ahh There is only one left, and I can help Lao Tzu share some of the pressure, and there are so many scolding and scolding thoughts in my heart, which are not enough for outsiders, but Xiao Yan still has a light expression on his face, and he holds a horse whip and points in the direction of Gubeikou as if nothing happened: "In this case, except for the two people and horses guarding the horses, you guys, do you dare to rush all the way to Gubeikou with me?" If Yue Fei is here, we will rescue him among the ten thousand armies, and even if there is a case, we will show off our strength in front of the Jurchen godson who is heading south, and let them see the majesty and splendor of the Han family's banner."

Dozens of horsemen around him responded at the same time, and they all beat their horses and walked away.

For fear of falling behind and becoming unlucky to stay behind, the two cavalry generals reacted slowly and were already pulled behind. Xiao Yan raised his voice to stop them who were still pretending to be stupid, so he had to turn around and look at Xiao Yan with a bitter face: "Xiao Xuanzan, we don't have much luggage, those who prepare horses, and those who stay on the horse stake after the battle are also in time, don't hit any birds" Besides, we are both men and horses, and the strength is not enough to respond, and there is no face to retreat, now follow Xuanzan, one more person to kill is one more strength"

The two unlucky riders said there with a sentence and I babbling there, Xiao Yan thought about it for a while, too, his body was ready to jump into the well, and what were he doing with two ears hanging on the edge of the well? I hope this goes, a quick battle, a qiē shun lì!

He struck his horse violently, galloped forward as if flying, and rushed straight to the front of these cavalry troops who were forming a breakthrough column, Zhang Xian and Tang Huai reacted quickly, one left and one right, closely following him. The three of them are all good horses under their crotches, running like electricity, splashing dust and smoke under the horses, passing by a team of cavalry, ushered in a loud cheer towards Xiao Yan!

Before leaving, Xiao Yan only left one sentence: "You two guys, you are willing to follow me desperately, can I still say no?" There are more than 100,000 troops in the Northern Expedition, who can fight against athletes like me! Follow me! ”

The two horsemen were stunned for a moment, and then cheered loudly, hurriedly met the people and horses of the headquarters, shouted and dispatched, let everyone raise the speed of the horses, and closely followed behind Xiao Yan's figure!

With Xiao Yan's figure driven, in the wilderness, what sounded was the sound of shouting and shouting orders, the more than 1,000 Shengjie soldiers laughed and scolded loudly, and the high spirits formed three columns, galloping towards the depths of the cloud mountain in Gubeikou, no one looked back, dozens of flags belonging to Xiao Yan and the Shengjie army, hunting and dancing in front of the team. Brigade light cavalry. Whistling for miles away, it swept past the walls of the fort guarded by those Jurchen soldiers and horses, and the walls were full of human figures, one by one looking at the more than 1,000 cavalry Song troops, rampant on the border of Youyan. That invincible spirit, compared to the destruction of the Great Liao Empire, the most morale is high, and the Jurchen elite cavalry who chased the north seems to be not far behind!

When Xiao Yan's more than 1,000 horsemen appeared in sight, these Jurchen outposts guarding the walls of the fortress had already discovered them. In their predictions, the normal situation (the latest chapter of the martial arts http://wWw.23hH.coM

wWw.23hH.coM), even if the Song army wants to advance in the direction of Gubeikou to meet the Jurchen soldiers and horses, it will never be without support (the latest chapter of the martial arts http://wWw.23hH.coM).

wWw.23hH.coM) Go deeper, but should first pull out these dock wall fortresses, as a support, and then move forward step by step, since the back road is stable. You can seek a decisive battle.

This is the most basic principle of using soldiers, so as soon as they appeared, the Jurchen soldiers in several dock forts forced these dependent local heroes, and all their young and strong people were caught up with the wall, and all the accumulated guards were also moved, all of them as if they were facing a great enemy. With a high view, but only saw more than a thousand light cavalry is moving forward at a normal speed, and does not carry too many heavy attack tools, but everyone does not dare to relax, these light cavalry may be the outpost, everyone knows that the Great Song Dynasty lacks cavalry, can take out more than 1,000 light cavalry as an outpost, God knows how much the army should be behind!

Maybe behind, it is the foot soldiers of the brigade that can be followed by the team, and the team can cover the clouds and the sun, in the middle of this brigade of infantry troops. There are ladders, Chang buses, stone cannons, thunderbolts, arrow towers, and uncountable attacking tools that have crashed into cars!

Everyone in the local Haoqiang who was attached to the Jurchen turned blue, and everyone regretted it in their hearts, knowing that the Song people were so powerful. It is so inevitable to win the land of Youyan, it is time to take a look at the scenery. Who told everyone to give the prestige of the Jurchen scared their guts, Da Liao is finished, and it is okay to seek one under the hands of the new master as soon as possible, and it is not good to be rich. Who knows who belongs to the land of Youyan now, it is not yet known!

Why didn't you keep the door behind closed doors? These southbound Jurchens are also light horses, and they have never carried attack tools, so they may not be able to pull down their dock walls, and they will not be able to carve and plunder in the four fields. I just want to believe that what kind of bird Dong Liu: "Fourth, the dock wall is opened, and the Jurchens are attached, as soon as the Song army arrives, it looks like a pot is just right!"

Zong Shi was on the wall of the largest dock wall, pressing the battlement, his face was also pale, and he was surrounded by Jurchen guards, all of whom had a dignified look on their faces.

Zong Shi and these Jurchen soldiers and horses also felt frightened, that was an exaggeration, although they had a fierce battle with the Song army in Danzhou, and the spirit of those Song people who fought to the death at the head of the city made Zong She's opinion of the Nanren a little higher. However, they originally attacked Danzhou half-heartedly, and more than 200 real Jurchen soldiers and horses were used to spread their momentum in the border of Youyan and control the army to go forward, they had already completed the task, and attacking Danzhou was already beyond the limit of strength, if it wasn't for Dong Dalang's oath, they might not want to fight there. The Jurchens can fight, but it doesn't mean that the Jurchen soldiers and horses will only fight.

So as soon as Han Shizhong's reinforcements arrived, Zongshi set them to turn around and leave, without even thinking about it for a while.

The Song army came, so they just felt that this trip to the south was not an easy mission. I'm afraid I have to have a decisive battle with these Song people's army, but it's nothing, there are reinforcements coming later, so the Song people will be defeated. If there are no reinforcements coming, it is great to go back, and it is a big deal that those looted wealth and women are young and strong. As long as Yelu Yanxi and them are defeated in the future, when Zong Han makes a comeback again, this prosperous and rich land of Youyan is still afraid that it is not a Jurchen? This time, the topography of the Youyan border mountains has been figured out by the Jurchens!

Therefore, when the Song army's forward light cavalry was slowly approaching, the sect set them did not panic, but just urged the dependent heroes to guard the battlements on the wall, and waited to see how the Song army moved.

But they didn't expect that the behavior of these light horsemen of the Song army was greatly unexpected to them, and the more than 1,000 horsemen suddenly retracted their open fronts, formed several columns, suddenly increased their speed, and roared through the dock walls they were guarding! Horsemen, when passing by, shouted and laughed at the wall, looking disappreciative, and saw some Song army knights in the distance on the horse compared to the contemptuous driving gestures, it seems that they are too lazy to take care of these dock walls, let the dock wall open the door to surrender, the Jurchen soldiers and horses should run away as soon as possible, otherwise they will not end well if they come back!

These southerner cavalry soldiers are so proud in front of the Jurchen athletes! In an instant, a huge anger surged in Zong She's heart, which overwhelmed him almost instantly!

The large array of 700,000 Liao troops was lined up in front of 2,700 Jurchen armor soldiers, and they were good Jurchen men, and they did not have the slightest look of fear, but these Liao people were like a great enemy, and their distant barricades did not dare to force too close, with a cautious look, the Jurchen athletes fired a little arrow, and these far-flung barricades turned back, which aroused a burst of laughter in the Jurchen army.

But now these southerners regard their Jurchen athletes as nothing!

Is it because they are too confident in their own strength, or have they not really seen the majesty of the Jurchen athletes? The guards around him, everyone had a humiliated look on their faces, and everyone looked at Zong Shi angrily, waiting for him to give the order, open the dock wall, and rush to kill these Song people on light horses!

Zong Shi opened his mouth a few times and was about to shout loudly, but he didn't know why, but he endured it again.

There are 1,000 people, which seems to be quite a lot. The light cavalry of the Song army just kept pouring in as far as their sight could see, the horses were all good horses, the people were wearing good armor, and the blades were even sharper. Looking at the immediate movements, they are all agile men. That kind of elite temperament that has been in a hundred battles can be smelled from afar.

Looking back on his side, there are only a few dozen riders, and there are only so many people around Duoduo and Lahema. They were going to crush the retainers of thousands. I also want to look at so many treasures and goods that I have looted these days. Look at the frightened looks of those dependent heroes around them, once their true Jurchen soldiers and horses chase them out, God knows if they will immediately surrender to the follow-up Song army. Those carved raw goods are all flying! As a last resort, they are reluctant to leave so many things behind, and in just ten days, they have gained more than those Khitan people in Jiashan for a few months!

And the Song army is so vigorous, if there is no battle, they dare to go deep alone like this? With more than 1,000 horsemen in front of him, Zong Shi asked himself if he could not be afraid, and he had a fight with them, what if the follow-up brigade of the Song army continued to follow? Will they be able to get out of it all? Don't end up with both people and money! The most important thing is that Yin Keshu's order to himself is to occupy the border of Youyan, and when he arrives, if he abandons the dock wall here and fights against the Song army, he will lose these supports, how will he explain when the time comes?

Whether it's Dong Dalang. Or the newly attached Liao people are strong, and when they ask about the reality of the southerners' march and war, everyone has a sentence in their mouths, the southerners fight, step by step, that is, the shrunken turtle has become a fine. Now these thousand horsemen dare to go deeper, God knows how many southerner brigades should be followed behind!

Watching Song Jun roar and roll over, watching the flags flashing in front of them, Zong Shi bit his lip tightly, unable to say a word, all kinds of thoughts collided in his not too complicated mind, which made him distressed.

A Jurchen guard couldn't hold it back, and shouted to him loudly: "Zongshi, do you want to fight?" ”

"No fight!" The two words subconsciously rushed out of Zong She's mouth, which immediately made him panic and feel weak, but it was irretrievable, and the surrounding Jurchen guards all looked at him with disbelief. In the distance, there was even a soft sneer among the young men of the newly attached army.

I don't know why, Zong Shi felt that he was unbearable, and waved his hand to amplify his voice: "You can't fight!" The southerners enter lightly, let them go, here is a wolf trap for the southerners. Let's keep the clichΓ©! After these southerners hit their heads and bled at Yinkeshu, we stopped them here and killed them again! Losing this place of support, how can we explain to Yinkeshu? Fighting a war is not a matter of hard work! ”

The Jurchen guards around him made a noise of indignation, and many of them hung their heads. In the era of cold weapons, a large part of the battle relied on morale and military spirit, and all the self-confidence gained by the Jurchens in destroying the Great Liao Empire suffered a setback for the first time in this Youyan border land and the southerners who they thought were more unbearable than the Liao!

Some of the Jurchen guards simply ignored the sect, scolded and turned around and got off the wall, and some people also shouted: "It is better to follow the sect than to follow the sect!" Duoduo is still like a good man like our daughters."

The young men of the newly attached army, who were originally bowing their heads in front of these Jurchen soldiers and horses, also dared to laugh high and low at this time, and they were even more daring to point at the sect standing there. The dependent heroes were silent, but they exchanged meaningful glances with each other, and some people looked deeply at the smoke and dust of the Song Army's banner that had crossed here and was heading towards Gubeikou.

Zong Shi was still standing at the head of the city, but he felt at a loss, but at this time he made a heart, and strode towards the wall: "Go and give an order to Duoduo, so that he can't open the plug and attack!" This is my military order! These horses were handed over to me by Zong Han and Yin Keshu, and there is nothing wrong with my decision."

Xiao Yan turned his head and took a deep look at the dock walls that had not been opened, and sighed deeply in his heart. If you get entangled in a few Jurchen soldiers and horses on the dock wall here, it will be a big deal. One is that he has not been able to attack the insertion weight of the dock wall, and the other is that he may not be able to eat the Jurchen soldiers and horses of the hundreds of horsemen at this outpost and supported by the new annexed army. Fight here for a while, not to mention saving Yue Fei, and wait for the Jurchen brigade behind to press up. Everyone had to change the back team to the front team and return to Danzhou in a gloomy manner.

This lonely army fighting in the north relies on a sharp spirit, once this sharp spirit grows old. They are a lone army, and they don't know when they will be able to separate the victory and defeat with the Jurchen soldiers and horses going south.

At that time, don't think about the final impact on this Youyan war, your entire plan will be in vain! Once he can't affect the battle situation of Youyan, then Tong Guan may make up his mind to deal with himself who can no longer be useful!

This resolute in-depth move was originally a bluff. The Song army marched and fought, relying on the heaviness and step by step. There are many new Liao troops in the hands of the Jurchens, and the Liao people are even more clear about the Song army's ability, not to mention Dong Dalang, a ghost in the field. He suddenly came to such a hand against common sense, and sure enough, the Jurchens missed the judgment of the head, and in the end, they did not open the village to intercept and meet themselves!

Although he has never fought, his actions have also frustrated the Jurchen spirit, which is more beneficial to the decisive battle in the future!

Xiao Yan wiped a cold sweat in his heart. The Song army knights beside him were all shouting happily at this time. A few of them who were overexcited were still spinning left and right on their horses, and they wanted to play equestrian.

"The Jurchen godson is nothing more than that, and in front of our Shengjie army, Wang Ba will not show his head!"

"If it weren't for Xiao Xuanzan, how could we have today's scenery in Shengjiejun? Baigou River, Zhuozhou, Yishui, Yizhou, Gaoliang River, Danzhou, and then to this Youyan borderland, all the way to kill, rampant in the world, no one can be! ”

"Where Xiao Xuanzan's horsewhip is pointing, I will go there, there is no second word! At the end of Yanyun, return to Bianliang to praise the work, maybe the official family will have to see us in person! ”

"Jurchen Lezi is nothing more than that, Yuedu Yuhou must still be alive, maybe Gubeikou is still there! When the time comes, let alone take back the Marquis of Yuedu, we will divide half of the troops to block the Gubeikou is to urge the back team to come, take down these Jurchen Lezi who dare to go south against the alliance one by one, and hang them before the Gubeikou wall, to see if they dare to go south against the alliance again! ”

The soldiers shouted loudly, the riders took off their helmets and cheered in the direction of Xiao Yan, Tang Huai and Zhang Xian, who were beside Xiao Yan, were also full of joy, Zhang Xian followed closely beside Xiao Yan, whose face was still tight, and asked tentatively: "Xiao Xuanzan, is Gubeikou really still there?" Our brother Yue, are you okay now? ”

Xiao Yan didn't say a word, looked in the direction of Gubeikou, and just urged his mount to gallop there. It is a good thing that morale is high, this time the lone army is deep, and the Jurchen outpost does not dare to open the village to meet the attack, which does frustrate the Jurchen spirit. But where is it so simple! What he is facing is the strongest armed group in this era, the most elite army, and every time he takes an adventure, he is wandering between life and death, and he is desperate!

He wanted to scold Zhang Xian and let them not get too carried away, but he couldn't help but let out a breath on the horse and looked far away.

One maybe, the history books are wrong? The Jurchens of this era are actually not that strong at all, but the Liao people and the vast majority of the Song army in this era are too weak. He didn't snatch Danzhou in the hands of the Jurchens, Yue Fei blocked them at Gubeikou for so long, and he even raised the division of the first brigade to go deep alone, but the Jurchens did not dare to open the village to meet them

This thief God, after tossing Lao Tzu for so long, finally gave Lao Tzu some good news? The Youyan land under the feet is rapidly receding, and the vision in front of you is no longer the continuous Youyan Plain, but the undulating land, with hills from south to north, rising one after another, until it is connected with the majestic Yanshan Mountain Range.

More than 1,000 Song army knights, roaring up and down in this undulating hilly landscape, Xiao Yan has retreated into the team, although his equestrian skills have been honed hard, but it is still not comparable to these Great Song Dynasty elite horses, and there is no way to keep in front. Now those knights of the Shengjie Army are high-spirited, everyone has raised their speed, running fast, eager to step to Gubeikou in one step, constantly overtaking him, and they have to hurry up to send orders and reminders, so that the corporal under his command can leave some horsepower to prepare.

Looking ahead in the middle of the procession, I saw flags disappear under the ridge line of the hills, and then show out on the sunny side of the hills in front.

Half a day's gallop, it has been dozens of miles down, and Gubeikou is seven or eight miles away. Everyone changed horses once and ate a little dry food on the horses. The army roared through these dozens of miles, and did not encounter a single opponent. Everyone couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Jurchen Brigade was really still being treated as being in the north of Gubeikou, and Yue Fei was still alive waiting for everyone's arrival in Gubeikou?

Xiao Yan was already sweating profusely, chewing a piece of dry food in his mouth. A few riders passed by and smiled at Xiao Yan: "Xiao Xuanzan, our scenery is beautiful this time, but we have run hard enough!" Clean up the Jurchen godson, and you have to ask Xiao Xuanzan for reward! ”

Xiao Yan commanded the three military and horse departments, and most of the officers of the Shenwu Winning Army were generals, and they had always been cautious, but they inevitably lost their initiative. It has always been a push from above, and only a move from below. They have not yet been completely relieved, nor have they completely integrated into the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty. The soldiers of the White Mansion are thicker, the officers can grit their teeth and work hard, and they never hesitate to receive orders, but they are more arrogant. In addition to the Shengjie Army, the Great Song Dynasty also has a bit of light cavalry, but this heavy cavalry has no semicolon except for the Bailou soldiers!

The Shengjie army is light and fierce, and the officers are also lively and active, which can enliven the atmosphere the most. But because Tong Guan was favored back then, he was also a scoundrel, and Xiao Yan dared not to make a big deal and was the most troublesome, and there were a lot of headaches.

Xiao Yan has no other strengths, and I don't know how many kinds of people I have dealt with in my career as a young reporter. He can also cope with these three military horses that are pinched together. When he was with the Shenwu Changsheng Army, he put on a posture of sharing weal and woe to warm his heart, and he was on a steep cliff with the white technical soldiers, respecting them but not cicadas. If you are with the Shengjie army, you have to get along with them, and you can't always put on a show.

Hearing a few officers laughing, he also laughed and scolded back: "Get out!" Before they saw the battle, they had to ask for a reward, but Lao Tzu didn't! The rewards sent from above, Lao Tzu couldn't get a penny, they all gave you bastards, and now you are a poor ghost, you don't want money, but there is a life, do you dare to ask for it? ”

He laughed and scolded there, and the Shengjie army burst out with laughter, everyone was relaxed, roaring all the way, the Jurchen godson didn't see half of the shadow, and the nerves that were originally tense were now unconsciously descending from Xiao Yan, and they were all a little relaxed.

A Shengjie Jun Jun An also squeezed his eyes at Xiao Yan: "Xiao Xuanzan, the Jurchen Lezi is about to clean up for us, and returning to Yanjing also refers to the matter of Gu Jian, with us here, it is the turn of who dares to step into Yancheng first, Ye Bu will take Yanjing City when the time comes." As long as Xiao Fuzan's eyes are slightly closed, there are so many high-ranking officials in Yanjing City, how can the brothers let Xiao Xuan approve of the famous rich man in Bianliang! Our brothers are also stained, and when the time comes, we can also have a family when we go back to Shaanxi, what do you think? ”

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, in this era, he didn't expect his subordinates to be able to achieve the three disciplines and eight attentions, and he didn't care about the fate of those Khitan Xi people in Yanjing City. Well, do your best to clean up the Jurchen godson here, and then turn around and take Yanjing, make a fortune, it's really a big temptation......

Before he could speak, there was a sudden sound of a whistle in front of him, rapid and sharp, Xiao Yan hurriedly looked north, and saw that his forward had already stood on the ridge line of a hill in front of him, and the people and horses behind him rushed up, extending to both sides on the ridgeline, and they were no longer moving forward, and the leading generals turned around, and the flags around him kept waving, and all of them conveyed a message.

Encounter the enemy!

As soon as everyone's expressions tightened, they heard the sound of horses' hooves roaring like thunder from the north. There was also a faint sound of fighting, almost completely drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves. Xiao Yan didn't say anything anymore, waved his hand violently, and flew straight forward with a stirrup, Tang Huai and Zhang Xian followed closely, and the officers around them all gave low and hurried orders, and those Shengjie soldiers who seemed relaxed stopped making a sound, drew their blades one after another, unfolded the formation, and followed Xiao Yanfeng to roll towards the north!

On the hills, the knights of the Song army dismounted one after another, tightened the horse's belly belt, straightened the saddle bridge, and seized the time to recover their horsepower. Stand your ground and wait for the followers to follow. The officers all stood at the head of the line, put on a posture to meet the enemy, and the sound of orders came and went, and the ease of talent was already missing in an instant. More than 1,000 horsemen all put on a posture to meet the enemy.

Here, the lone army went dozens of miles and finally met the Jurchen military horse!

In Xiao Yan's heart, he already had an ominous premonition, and he was desperately fighting his horse, and several officers on the ridge line of the hills had already met him, and everyone looked solemn, and they returned with a split: "Jurchen Brigade!" There are at least five or six hundred riders, look at this posture, they are all real Jurchens! ”

Xiao Yan was stunned, all the military information told him that the true Jurchens who went south were only four or five hundred, half of them were in the dock walls that were left behind, and half of them were in the north entrance of Weigu. There are also thousands of Dong Dalang's troops, the cavalry has been cleaned up, the remnants have been incorporated by him, and the others are mostly foot soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is no more than that. Why are there hundreds more riding real Jurchens now?

Because of their own crossing, the Jurchens not only went south against history, but also increased their soldiers and horses! Could it be that they let Yelu Yanxi go unattended? Thief God, Lao Tzu breathed a sigh of relief, and came to conjure such a trick for Lao Tzu!

The most important thing is not this, "No matter how many Jurchen soldiers and horses there are, it is nothing more than a typing." But the Jurchen Brigade cavalry appeared here, could it be that Gubeikou has fallen? So Yue Feiyi, one of the greatest heroes in the history of the nation, fell early in the long river of history because of his own crossing?

true

At this time, Xiao Yan didn't even dare to look at Zhang Xiantanghuai's expression behind him, but just carried the horse and rushed straight to the top of the hill in one breath under the guidance of these horsemen. On both sides were the Shengjie Army armor soldiers unfolding, and everyone was looking north. The Gubei Mouth is not far away, and in the meandering Chaohe estuary, black fireworks have risen. In front of me, on a large piece of flat land at the bend of the Chaohe River, there were all black Jurchen armor soldiers, five or six hundred horsemen, only a few!

The movements of these Jurchen armor soldiers are quite strange, their leading generals have already discovered the Song army banners and knights that appeared on the hills here, the horns and bone flutes echoed the order, and the Jurchen cavalry has been deployed, and they have also put on a posture to meet the enemy, and the outpost has also stretched out, all the way to the Song army on the hills. But there are still more than a hundred Jurchen armor soldiers surrounding a ****, the leading general of this Jurchen army has two white flags, one is already directing the female Allah power to unfold, the other side is still involved in this ***, and the sound of shouting and fighting, from the circle of people behind this Jurchen formation, faintly transmitted directly to the place where Xiao Yan is!

Several officers of the Shengjie Army hurriedly asked Xiao Yan: "Xiao Xuanzan, do you want to fight?" ”

Behind Xiao Yan, Zhang Xian and Tang Huai invariably let out a whimpering cry: "Brother Yue! ”

To fight or not to fight? The choice faced by the sect just now came to Xiao Yan as it was.

Gubeikou is no longer there. Maybe I'm a step too late, but this step is the end of the world!

And Yue Fei will never show his appearance as a famous general in this era, because he only thinks about Yanjing, only wants to settle down in this era, or even greater fame and wealth."

I have sworn that I will live up to this new life. But seeing that this Yue Fei fell because of his own decision, how could he say with a clear conscience that he would live up to this life?

Unexpectedly, Lao Tzu's crossing made Yue Fei die early, "This thief is really good at playing tricks on people!"

Gubeikou is already unlucky, so do you want to fight the Jurchens here to the death? See if you can snatch Yue Fei's bones?

Xiao Yan only felt that every cell in his body was whistling and shouting, the anger of falling short, the time had completely changed, and more of it was boundless regret intertwined in one place, so he couldn't help but want to pull out the sword on his waist "The first one." Lead the charge and go down! More than a thousand pairs of eyes under his command, as well as the eyes of countless pairs of Jurchen godsons in front of him, all focused on his banner. The two sides met suddenly, as long as he gave an order, he could turn this place into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

Tang Huaiying roared, and was about to rush out of Xiao Yan's side, but Xiao Yan reacted very quickly at this time, grabbed the reins of his horse, and pulled it with the strength of the milk, Tang Huai's crotch mounted neighed and turned his head, and the warm foam splashed Xiao Yan's body.

Tang Huai looked over with red eyes: "Xiao Xuanzan!" ”

Xiao Yan also looked at him viciously: "Lao Tzu is responsible for the more than 1,000 people in the whole army!" You have to listen to the military orders! ”

Zhang Xian also grabbed Tang Huai's reins on the other side, and shouted with a crying voice: "Third Brother Tang, listen to Xiao Xuanzan's military order, our brother Yue's family has been martyred" We have a chance to take revenge, Xiao Xuanzan will take us to take revenge!" ”

Tang Huai wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, his face turned red, and in the end, he could only roar wildly, lowered his head, and big tears rolled down his face.

Xiao Yan raised his hand, his face was as cold as a piece of iron, and he was about to give the order to retreat. After breaking off with a cover, the brigade retreated one after another. He is alone, there is no support in front and back, and half of the horsepower is consumed, and at this time, it is not a good time for a decisive battle. The only way to do this is to retreat to Danzhou, gather the army, go north again, and fight a decisive battle with these southbound Jurchen soldiers and horses, and when the time comes, you will be divided into one more life-and-death!

It's just Yue Fei Yue Fei!

He fought desperately in Gubeikou, just waiting for his arrival, he finally came, this peerless general, but he was no longer there!

At this time, a shout passed through thousands of troops and horses, crossed countless swords, guns, swords, halberds, and passed straight to Xiao Yan: "Xiao Xuanzan, Xiao Xuanzan!" ”
