Chapter 53: The Rainstorm (6)

Volume 2 Bianliang Mistake Chapter 53 Heavy Rain (6)

Yelu Dashi suddenly rolled over from the couch in the tent of the Chinese army.

After all, he was a body that had not been injured for a long time, and he had never been killed from Xiao Yan's army that night, and he was really seriously injured. For more than 20 days, I was just barely able to walk. With such a heavy rain falling from the ground to the sky, he barely supported the arrangement of the sentinel to probe the defense last night, and then inspected the camp, and felt a little feverish. I could only go back to the Zhongjun tent to rest, and when I woke up half-asleep, I already felt that my groggy head was very heavy, and it seemed that I had a cold.

Hearing the urgent news from the sentinel outside, he immediately got up, and he didn't know where to throw those cold feelings at the moment

"The Song army is in a hurry, is it true that the northwest direction is where Xiao Yan's army is?"

The person who returned to the ceremony was a sentry leader who had escaped under Zhang Xian's lance, and he stood in front of Yelu Dashi after the salute, and his breath had not yet been completely even, and the water on the iron armor could not help but slip down, drenching the place where he was standing.

“………… It is true that the Song army rode urgently, with about sixty or seventy horsemen, wearing light armor and riding horses. When we met, it was already in the southwest of the camp, and they wanted to bypass our camp in the heavy rain, but fortunately our sentry was far away, so they collided with them, and if they were a little further west, I was afraid that they would have bypassed us............

………… These dozens of cavalry Song troops are very elite. When the eleven or twelve horses were the first, they came quickly, and they fought fiercely. He even used this to kill us with the eleventh or twelfth horsemen, and these dozens of horsemen did not chase after them, and the rear team caught up and continued to go northwest."

Yelu Dashi looked at the sentry leader who was covered in water, and immediately made a judgment. This is Yanjing City, the Western Army sent to deliver urgent military information to Xiao Yan, if it weren't for the emergency military information, it wouldn't have been escorted by so many people, it wouldn't be such an elite man, this sentry leader is a well-known member of the Liaodong Refugee Tun Army, and he is known to have fought with the Jurchen military horses. Although I don't know if it's true or not, he is already a rare general in the mixed army of the Fuliao Army, and his sons and daughters are all children of their own clan who fled all the way from Liaodong, and they are quite strong. was actually killed and retreated by the eleventh or twelfth horseman. Such an elite Song army, and the Liao army went so far into the Liao army, and went straight to the northwest, if it wasn't for the urgent military situation, what else could it be?

As for what kind of urgent military situation it is, apart from asking Xiao Yan to send troops and sweep away the Fuliao army led by Yelu Dashi, what else can it be? The Song army should have waited for the news they wanted and decided to send troops, and now it was time for them to leave

All kinds of thoughts came to his mind, but there was nothing on his face. To the henchman general who led the cavalry under his account who led the sentinel leader, he ordered loudly: "Draw military horses, catch up, and be sure to intercept this Song army in the heavy rain, they can't run fast, and they can't run far." A team of people caught up, and they were entangled in their training for a long time, if they couldn't even pack up so dozens of cavalry Song troops, what else would they talk about the great cause of recovering Liao? ”

The henchman cavalry general agreed, and the leader of the sentinel who led the return of the military situation retreated. Yelu Dashi clapped his hands heavily, and his flag officer of the Chinese army strode in again, Yelu Dashi took a few steps with his hands in his hands, and ordered again: "Order the whole army to be lightly armed, stay on your back, and be ready to go out of the camp at any time to prepare for field battles and carry heavy supplies, and all stay in the camp." From a certain or below, each person carried seven days of dry food, and all the cattle and sheep in the camp were overturned, so that the sons and daughters could have a few full meals first."

These days, Yanjing is quiet in the left, and the flag officer of the Chinese army doesn't know how Yelu Dashi gave such an order. But how dare he talk more, and go down to give the order as soon as he agrees.

Jerod could no longer sit down, and walked up and down in the tent. It is impossible to leave the camp at once. Only when the Song army was dispatched, it had already begun to attack the camp of the Liao army in the left near Fu. Only then can he lead the brigade to get out of Yanjing in the name of camping and field battles, it is nothing to let go there, what matters is Xiao Yan, he is all cavalry, and he will come quickly, from now on, he must keep an eye on Xiao Yan's movements, as long as he has a move to send troops, he will let Xiao Yan even if he wants to make this great contribution to quelling the chaos, because he got out, he is not so completely............ In the future, I will still have the time when I want Xiao Yan to repay this grudge

Yelu Dashi arranged in the tent to the flag officer of the Chinese army, and the general of the cavalry and the leader of the sentry probe under his command had already turned over and mounted outside the tent. The cavalry general greeted: "Go and gather your remnants, catch up and I will dispatch the other horses, and the rest of the horses will be dispatched, and the big stone Linya will leave them behind since he has given the order."

The leader of the sentry shook his head: "Can't stay............ These Song cavalry troops, in terms of their toughness, are no longer as bad as Jurchen Tartars, and I don't know how the southerners trained these elite iron horses."

After saying this, he knocked his horse and left, leaving a sentence without looking back: "Since you follow Da Shi Linya, you can only survive to the end." On that day, Dashi Linya lived tens of thousands of troops in Liaodong, and the kindness was too heavy............ But looking at me, the big stone forest teeth here have no power to return to the sky."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the north of the Gaoliang River, far west of Yanjing, another cavalry team of more than 100 people also rushed in the heavy rain.

This is exactly the group of men and horses who came to receive the envoys from Bianliang and crossed the Gaoliang River and headed north while it was raining.

In the heavy rain, after Chang Sizhao, the leader of this sentry team, led them to cross the river, they did not move closer to the direction of Yanjing, but moved some to the west, basically going straight to the northwest.

In heavy rain, the direction path is not so light and discerning. The eunuch angel now only knows where to tell the way when he is trembling on his horse. The few forbidden army guards around him were not much better than him, and they just gritted their teeth and hurried away. Liu Chun, who can escort them to Sorghum Henan, is a general who has sent troops and seen battles. The more he walked, the more wrong it became, and finally he simply rode his horse to the front and grabbed Chang Sizhao's reins: "Brother Chang, where is this going?" Why don't you turn to Yanjing? If you go further, do you want to run outside the plug? But what path are you leading? ”

Chang Sizhao grabbed his mount, glanced back at Liu Chun, wiped the rain on his face, and said with a smile: "Where else can you go, Yanjing is surrounded by an iron bucket, how can it be so light to rush in?" Xiao Xuanzan led the whole army of Shenwu Changsheng Army, and he had already left Yanjing City and was stationed in the northwest of Yanjing. As soon as Xiao Xuanzan's will to quell the chaos arrived, Xuanzan's five thousand elite horsemen rushed out from the side, and the Yanjing Western Army Brigade responded, and the chaos army was swept away? This is exactly what I did to escort the envoys to the Xuanzan army

………… Lord Liu, don't you suspect that there is something wrong with me Chang? My old Chang family is a family member, all in Shaanxi, the Chang family is in the local area, and it is also a big family of hundreds of people. Most of these sons and daughters under my command are from Shaanxi Zhulu, you really underestimate us."

To be honest, Liu Chun really didn't suspect that Chang Sizhao had voted for the enemy. The Liao State has fallen, and Jurchen still seems to be a very distant term. Not to mention that Chang Sizhao is an old man from the Western Army, even if he wants to vote, where can he vote? It's just that I think he's acting a little strangely.

But at this moment, when he heard that he was bringing the envoy to Xiao Yan's army, he was a little panicked. Xiao Yan led the troops out of Yanjing and stationed them outside. He, a general in charge of logistics guarding the Baigou River, naturally didn't know about it before. These adults have this arrangement, and it has nothing to do with him as a middle-level military attache in the Western Army.

However, this envoy was not brought to Xiao Yan's army first, as a member of the Western Army, and naturally the first thing to defend was the interests of the Western Army. In the current situation, whoever knows what Bianliang has to say about Yanyun will naturally take advantage of it. How can this envoy get past the old minister, and go to Xiao Yan's army to announce the decree first

Even if the old man sent his sentry to the south of the Gaoliang River to the south of Xiao Yan to intercept the envoys from the south first, he would never let the envoys enter Xiao Yan's army first

In a panic and consternation, Liu Chun pulled the reins of Chang Sizhao's mount and shouted loudly: "This can't be done, this can't be the land of Yanyun, no one can be anywhere in the old race, how can this angel go to Xiao Xuanzan's army first?" Immediately turn to the northeast, go to Yanjing to go to the old man, you don't want to harm me"

Anyway, the stuffy gourd has been uncovered, and on which boat you have to row desperately for which boat. Chang Sizhao was just a cavalry war leader in the Xihe Army that day, and he had a title but no dispatch, because the family was not a member of the generals, and he couldn't make up for his real position. Later, he was simply rushed to the Shengjie army, and finally transferred to Xiao Yan's command, and now he is now the head of a cavalry command. Yan Yun's matter, seeing that he is about to be promoted for another turn or two, coupled with the bloody battle of menstruation, he naturally has a greater sense of belonging to this new group. Fighting, especially winning wars, is the best means of enhancing the cohesion of an armed group.

Chang Sizhao couldn't care about friendship at this time, and sneered: "Do you know the situation of Yanjing Zuo?" Seven or eight cavalry riders are in a hurry to find the air and find leaks, and it is easy to cross, this hundred cavalry brigade, with envoys and those forbidden army masters, you can ensure that you enter Yanjing City steadily? If the angels have any strengths and weaknesses, do you take that responsibility? Xiao Xuanzan's army to sorghum Henan, these roads, our brothers have come and gone repeatedly, and they are all familiar, I can pat my chest, and there will be no more forks in the word. ”

Chang Sizhao is deceiving Liu Chun that he doesn't know the situation in Yanjing's left, with his hundred horses, plus heavy rain to cover up. If you can find the right way, and the tattered ones of the Liao army in the south of Yanjing, you really can't stop them. Maybe he entered Yanjing City smoothly without fighting. However, Liu Chun has always been in charge of the rear road in the Western Army, not the kind of general who often goes into battle. Although more than 100 elites were detected among the military horses on the back road, it can only be said that they can ride horses freely, and they can barely fight immediately. It's not a pure cavalry. Under such a heavy rain, there is no familiar person to lead the way, and it is a troublesome thing to distinguish the path, so he turned around and went straight to Yanjing, Liu Chun really didn't dare at the moment

Seeing Liu Chun hesitating there, Chang Sizhao sneered again: "Liu Deputy Lingzhi, you went all the way north, and how many sentinels sent by Yanjing City answered near the left side of the Gaoliang River?" Didn't you meet us in the end? This shows that in the eyes of the old minister, it is average to go to Xiao Xuanzan's army or to Yanjing City. With Xiao Xuanzan's loyalty, how could he have brought angels into his army without following the orders of the old minister? ”

Who is Xiao Yan, General Liu Chun, who has been in charge of logistics for more than ten years, really doesn't know. Now seeing that Chang Sizhao is right, he subconsciously let go of the reins that pulled Chang Sizhao's mount, and hesitated there.

The eunuch angel has been clinging closely to Chang Sizhao's back, perhaps because he saw that the head of the cavalry battle sect of a certain unit in the Western Army was tall and fierce, and he felt the most secure. Listened to their arguments all over the place. At this time, he couldn't help it anymore, hugged the horse's neck and shouted loudly: "Don't care about the old breed of minister Xiao Xuanzan, as long as it is any army in the Western Army, let us go in and announce the will, as long as we are less frightened, less affected by this rain, our family will recite the Buddha This Xiao Xuanzan is not an outsider, he has already poured an ear in Bianliang, so he will go to this Xiao Xuanzan, this General Chang, it is not easy to lead the way, why is it not easy to take the road if you are familiar with it?" If we continue to postpone like this, our family will return to heaven first."

The eunuch angel shouted, but the deadlock was resolved, and Liu Chun was also found under the steps. He glanced at Chang Sizhao hatefully: "It's up to you, but old Chang, our friendship is gone from now on."

Chang Sizhao smiled, when he was in the Western Army, because he was not a general, he was very capable, but he was not less excluded by these generals. I was just a nodding friend with Liu Chun that day, where is the deep friendship? shouted at the moment, continued to move forward, and pointed straight in the direction of where Xiao Yan's army was stationed

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At this moment, in Yanjing City, the sky has already brightened. Although the rain has not abated at all, the barracks of the Western army stationed in the city, which has been quiet for a long time in Yanjing City, have begun to move.

The military horses of the brigade were transferred between the camp and the city wall, and the generals at all levels rode their horses in Yanjing City. The city gates were also opened one or two places, and the sergeants inside and outside the city were ordered to gallop back and forth. In the camps everywhere, smoke rose in the rain and fog, but it was the fire army in the camp preparing dry food for the next sunrise in the city.

And Yuwen Xuzhong and Geng Nanzhong waited all night on the small building of their own government office until dawn.

At this moment, the surrounding scene in Yanjing City made the two relatively speechless, not knowing whether they liked it or were worried.

There has been a message from the old minister, which says that the Western Army is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty. Although the reward food was not paid, in order to avoid the anxiety of the Holy Son of Heaven, the people of the Great Song Dynasty were in suspense. The generals of the Western Army, who have already scattered all their wealth and paid their salaries for their sons, are now preparing to fight with the whole army in three days. It will definitely sweep the rebellious army near Yanjing with one drum and completely settle the land of Yanyun. This painstaking and lonely prayer, I begged the two angels to reach the court to show the loyalty of tens of thousands of athletes in the Western Army.

The two of them stood on the small building all night, and the raindrops carried the cold wind, although there were eaves to cover them, and they were also swept in and drenched them half-wet. The subordinate had already sent a fox fur to put on the two of them. At this time, the cold wind in the early morning was even worse, and after staying up all night, the two couldn't help but shiver a little when they looked at each other.

Geng Nanzhong sighed twice and said with a wry smile: "Brother Shutong, after some planning, how did you become like this?" Originally, Yao Gu came out of the army, but now why has it become the whole army of the Western Army? Originally, it was going to be dispatched last night, and maybe the war could start as soon as today. How did it become three days later? Could it be that Yao Gu deceived you and me in person, and then sold it to the old seed? If you want to be like this, Wuchen is really untrustworthy, and if you are so powerful, the Great Song Kingdom will not be destroyed."

Hearing Geng Nanzhong's anger, Yuwen was able to hold it in his hands, and he shook his head with a deep groan: "But it wasn't Yao Xiyan who did it on purpose..................... If he does it for the old species. As long as it drags on with the old species, what other way can you and I think of in this Yanjing City? No longer draw snakes to add enough to do this, but it is plain and old breeds have a life............ It must be that the incident is not secret, and the old man went to Yao Xiyan to stop him at night, but because Qin Fengjun was already desperate, it was difficult to stop it, unless the Western Army was torn apart in Yanjing City in front of him, so he had to succumb to the general trend and let the Western Army come out, so that he could step down a little............"

Yuwen is wise in the void, and it really lives up to its reputation, although he has never been there in person, but he guessed what happened last night. Geng Nanzhong frowned and pondered, and hesitated: "Since the Western Army has come out with all the troops, wouldn't it be a success if it wasn't planned by you and me?" Leaving the army today is no different from three days later............"

He seemed to have figured it out, and his face suddenly showed a little joy, and he clapped his hands and said: "Brother Shutong, you and I are really two scholars, and you and I have leveraged these tens of thousands of warriors in armor and knives in Yanjing, so that you and I will plan to use as long as the Western Army sweeps away the chaotic army under you and me, who can erase this feat?" My generation is in the court, even if it is established, even if the husband is reinstated, there is also a containment, and the country will no longer blindly decline to the Tang Dynasty Brother Shutong, and in the future Bianliang Dumen, I will count on your great talent to spread"

Yuwen Xuzhong's face was not at all happy, and he muttered, "It may not be so............ Why did the old breed have to postpone these three days? I'm afraid that the news has already been sent to Xiao Yan, and I hope that Xiao Yan can act in advance and sweep away this chaotic army............ Why did the old seed help Xiao Yan like this? Could it be that the Western Army could still be handed over to Xiao Yan? I really can't figure it out, I can't figure it out............"

Geng Nanzhong smiled disappreciatively: "Three days of kung fu, is Xiao Yan an immortal?" Brother Shutong doesn't have to worry too much, it's better to think about the following after the chaos with me............ At this moment, the overall situation has been decided, and there will be no more changes."

Yuwen smiled reluctantly, and looked at Geng Nanzhong seriously: "Brother Xidao, don't blame me for worrying too much, the things in front of me may not be as you and I wish, just look at it again............ However, one thing is important, the military ministers can no longer be held hostage to the imperial court like this. In any case this time, the estrangement between the western armies has been born, if our generation really wants to gain a firm foothold in the court, and it will be more spread in the future, Yao Gu must be firmly held in the palm of his hand and fully supported by him."

In the sound of the rain, Yuwen's voice was cold, and after saying it categorically, he tightened the fox fur on his body, turned his head and went down the small building. And Geng Nanzhong listened blankly, and couldn't help but glance at the rain outside. It seems that he wants to find the Xiao Yan who he has never met at the end of the rain curtain.

Could it be that this uncle really thinks that Xiao Yan will give birth to any variables? From the beginning of Bianliang's husband, the old species who came here, and now with a Yuwen Xuzhong, why do you value Xiao Yan so much?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another group of chasing cavalry approached from the flank, and the cordon of the cavalry laid by Yelu Dashi continued to bring out a team of sentinels and bite them tightly from the moment they discovered Zhang Xian and them.

Each of these chasing cavalry was no more than twenty or thirty cavalry, which happened to be the establishment of one team in the regular cavalry of the Great Liao. Under the leadership of their respective generals, they constantly rushed from other places to join the pursuit of Zhang Xian's troops.

At the beginning, a few teams, as soon as they arrived, urged the horses to speed up, and wanted to step forward to fight with Zhang Xian's military horses. Zhang Xian sent out the more than ten horsemen under his command every time, and often broke them up with a single charge. These fierce Song light cavalry, who have been fighting in Yandi for a year, have played tricks in every counterattack.

At first, the pursuers crowded together and swarmed up. The counterattack of the mink's guards spread out from both flanks and swept over both sides of their ranks, inflicting damage on their pursuers outside the ranks. These pursuers roared past the mink hat guards, and before they had time to react after falling off the horse for more than ten years, these mink hat guards played a high-speed U-turn on such a muddy ground, and then turned back to kill another round. This one back and forth and two raids can often kill and injure about half of the chasing enemy cavalry. Suffering such casualties, the chasing cavalry will lose its combat effectiveness.

Next, another team learned to be obedient, pulled the shock queue apart, and the platoon was evacuated, with a large front and shallow depth. These mink hats were all guarded and quickly closed together, lined up in a sharp attack formation. In the middle of the movement, the formation is changed. A single impact can chisel through the chasing horse, and then sweep to the two wings, and the same short hand-to-hand is nearly half of the damage to the opponent.

The cavalry fights against each other, not compared to the infantry army. Even if the combat strength of the infantry army is not as good as that of the other side, as long as the army general has an average level of restraint ability. As an individual, the infantry has little room for free movement in the military formation. In this way, it can be filled with human lives and a much more clever opponent who is also in formation for a while, and it is often broken up when the generals cannot restrain it, and then being pursued by the enemy is the largest number of casualties in a battle.

Even if the battlefield experience is not as good as the other side, the ability to fight is weaker than the other side. The infantry army fought in formation, and it was not easy to distinguish the winner from the loser.

The cavalry battle was completely different, especially the strangulation between these small groups of light cavalry. What you see is your ability to do it immediately, what you see is how well you control your horse, and what you see is how experienced you are in cavalry warfare, no matter how attentive the generals are, it is difficult to restrain the cavalry subordinates who have huge room for maneuver and are very quick to advance and retreat. Once you are inferior to others in this aspect, you can be scattered and defeated immediately, and your subordinates will do their own thing, and it will be difficult to pinch them together.

These mink hats under Xiao Yan's command are all pro-armor guards, since the Northern Expedition, what kind of cavalry battles have not been fought, and what kind of tough opponents have not been encountered? Dozens of fights were born and died, and all of them were already rare veterans of cavalry warfare. Gather and disperse freely, and immediately stab and slash accurately and steadily. Mixed with Yelu Dashi, the subordinates who hurriedly trained for less than a month were far higher. Not to mention that these mink hats are all close to the armor, whether it is a mount, a blade, or a body of armor, they are also superior to their opponents

These light horsemen under the command of Yelu Dashi were depressed to find that they were also known as heroes in the township that day, and many of them also passed through the battle formation. He rode a bad horse, drove a hard bow, and barely stabbed on his horse. Playing against these Southern Barbarian cavalry who claimed to not be able to ride horses, the result was tied from beginning to end, and they were killed by their opponents every time these opponents could hit the weak point of their own team, and they could give them the maximum damage in the blink of an eye, and when they woke up, they found that they had turned around and ran away with their horses' necks, and those Song army cavalry had already turned around and turned back, triumphantly retreating.

Straight lady thief, how come these Song cavalry are almost the same as those elite horsemen of the Jurchen Tartars? Is there any reason for this?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zhang Xian has always been in the queue, and this is not the time for him to be brave. It's not when he slows down the speed of the brigade and chases in a circle, he can only send out more than a dozen mink hats under his command to guard them again and again, and scatter the chasing horses again and again. Own brigade always keeps a certain speed rolling forward.

This time, the chasing cavalry was scattered by the mink hat armor soldiers, except for two or three people who dragged back the sentry, the rest of the people returned to the queue, exchanged the damaged blades, and changed their mounts if possible. Take a breath and wait for the next fight.

The mink hats were all guarded back, and their armor was torn, but there was not much blood to be seen. The rain was so great that it was washed away. But from the large and small gaps in the armor on their bodies, it can be seen that it is not easy to rush down a few times. Many people have been wounded, but there is not much blood to see. Everyone was out of breath, their chests were rising and falling violently, and they couldn't calm down.

A mink hat guarded the crotch of the mount, which was already staggering, and when it approached the queue, he suddenly weakened his front legs and hissed and fell to the ground. The robe beside him was quick, grabbed him, and pulled him onto his horse with force. The mink hat that lost his horse was guarded by the guards who had just ridden his reserve horse, and he had not replaced it. In the scolding return formation, his eyes were only spinning around the mount under the crotch of the old guard, and suddenly he pulled a guard under the command of the old breed who had a fairly good mount and asked, "Brother, you may change the mount to me?" Anyway, you're just rushing forward, and you don't need to fight. Even if two people ride a horse, it's not worth anything, and if you take off your armor, you lose weight. I'm fighting in the back, and I won't let the enemy hurt you, how? ”

The guard soldier was still an envoy, and his face turned red when he asked this. The self-confidence of these old breeds under their command is actually quite high, and it is considered to be enough to step down immediately. But the guards of these mink hats had just a few fights, and everyone was dumbfounded. That little white-faced Zhang Deputy Du Yuhou is also really tough. said that as long as they encountered the enemy, they would rush to the front, and the result was exactly like that

At this time, the guards under the command of the old breed were so ashamed that they couldn't raise their heads, but they were also deeply admired. It's easy to be a soldier, and those who admire are heroes. If they were used to meet the enemy, they would never be so neat and swift to drive back the pursuers again and again, and perhaps they would have to be entangled by the opponent, and the brigade's journey would never have slowed down in the slightest as it is now. These light horsemen under the command of Xiao Yan were mostly from the Shengjie Army that day, and the subordinates of the old breed naturally knew that they had not seen each other for half a year, and they had become so strong, no wonder the old breed valued this Xiao Xuanzan so much

The envoy looked at his own general, and the old guard's general was beside Zhang Xian, turned back and ordered: "There should be a reserve horse, you give him your mount, find a reserve horse to ride, and follow the team."

The envoy quietly gave up his horse, and it was easy to find a reserve horse to ride, and he almost muttered loudly behind his back: "It's not that we can't fight, so why should we let our good horses out?" The next time we come to the enemy, let us be the ones to save ourselves from being looked down upon like this."

The old breed's personal guard general's face suddenly became a layer of iron blue, and he said to Zhang Xian, who was hurrying forward beside him: "Brother Zhang, next time, let us go into battle, we are also fighting for many years, and the old breed is a confidant, and you can't say anything to weaken the name of the Jingyuan Army in front of your army."

Zhang Xian's vigilant gaze only glanced left and right, as if he wanted to see through the layers of rain and fog. Although his military experience is shallower than that of this old general, he has only experienced a lot more experience in cavalry warfare, and it is far more than that. At the moment, he shook his head: "It's not that simple, I didn't expect that Yelu Dashi actually trained so many soldiers and horses that could be used, and if they wanted to entangle us a few times, they would naturally change their strategy." They have more horsepower than us, maybe they will gather a large team to rush to the front to chase the soldiers and horses in the back, and they will gather more and more, in the right place, before and after the time comes, there will be a place for you to fight, now try to maintain some strength, the fierce battle is still behind"

In the heavy rain, the general's face was so hot that it seemed to be bursting with white gas, and when he heard Zhang Xian say this, he didn't ask anything more. Since the Northern Expedition of the Western Army, in addition to the fiasco of the Baigou River, there has also been the destruction of the Huanqing Army near the Gaoliang River. did not fight any hard battles, the Jingyuan army is the backbone of the Western Army, and these old guards are known as the elite of the Jingyuan army, and they have almost comfortably walked to Yanjing City since they went north again. But like Zhang Xian, they don't know how many vicious battles they have fought, even if they go to Xiao Yan's army this time, saying that they want them to protect Zhang Xian's more than ten people, but it turns out that Zhang Xian protects them in turn

This general is also a family member of the army for generations, and the Western Army has always been the longest in the 100-year campaign of the Great Song Dynasty, and the most bitter and proud of the fighting, but at this time he was ashamed and landless, and could only mutter to himself: "We are also fighting Han, we are also fighting Han, and Liao Dog is desperate, we are not weak like others, we are not weak like others, we are not weak like others"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The situation developed, just as Zhang Xian expected, the chasing horses behind no longer rushed forward, but just watched Zhang Xian and them move forward from a distance. A group of chasing horsemen joined, and slowly there were already one or two hundred horsemen. In the distance of the rain curtain, I can't see how many chasing enemies are crossing Zhang Xian's queue, overtaking to the front, waiting for the right time, front and back to flank this small Song army team that has been running in the rain for seven or eight hours, and has also fought several times

Zhang Xian's speed of moving forward, because he didn't dare to use his horsepower, deliberately controlled it, coupled with the heavy rain. Two hours had passed since the enemy sentry was encountered, and it was only more than thirty miles away. Further on, it was almost the area where Xiao Yan's light cavalry guard curtain could control zhì. This generation has rarely seen the dilapidated camps set up by the Fuliao army, and it is about to penetrate the control range of the Fuliao army, which stretches for dozens of miles

Zhang Xian's spirit also became more and more tense, knowing that a vicious battle was just around the corner. Because the opponent doesn't start again, it's too late, and he is secretly anxious in his heart, and on weekdays, he gallops and gallops, and he has already run out of the country. Not to mention that there was no heavy rain to block the range of activities and sight of the light cavalry sentry, maybe at this time it had already connected with the light cavalry sentry sent by Xiao Yan's battalion. Once there are fifty cavalry Xiao Xuanzan's elites, how can Yelu Dashi, a team that has been trained in a hurry, keep him?

Now I don't have to say anything, I can only blame myself for bad luck. Even Xiao Xuanzan didn't expect that Yelu Dashi would be able to pull out hundreds of cavalry teams that could be dispatched to the first battle in this short period of time

At this time, Zhang Xian didn't have to save horsepower anymore, and with a roar, everyone in the queue mustered up their last horsepower and galloped forward. Even those old guards honestly obeyed orders. Move at his command. In an instant, the army had broken through the rain and came to an open place.

Directly west of the place is a low hill, and the rest of the place is flat. Only in the south are sparse groves. I don't know if the ground is lost, the alkali has turned up from under the ground, and the ground is much stronger than other places in the heavy rain, which is a good place to gallop and fight.

Looking forward from the rain, there was a black line of horsemen running across the knoll. The men and horses were all exhaling long white breath in the rain, and at this time it seemed that their breath had settled, and they were just stepping forward to catch up. I'm afraid that there will be no one hundred and thirty or forty horsemen, and the ones who are holding the flag of the Yelu Dashi Chinese Army will also be recognized. The leading general is the general in charge of the cavalry under Yelu Dashi, after he got the general of Yelu Dashi, he drew vitality from the battalion, and worked hard to rush to the front, before Zhang Xian and them went

Zhang Xian immediately raised his hand, and the whole army slowed down their horses and turned to walk. The war horse gasped heavily, and the horse's belly belt became a little loose because of the excessive consumption. Zhang Xian rode on his horse and looked back, and there were more brigades chasing behind, and they had reached the scale of two or three hundred horsemen. It's just that I chased after him all the way, and the consumption was not light, and at this time, I also formed a queue in the back road, and I pressed from behind a little faster.

There are enemies in front and behind, and these military horses are already quite tired, even if they want to bypass them, they will never be able to escape far. What is good now? His own life is small, but if he misses the big thing of praise, he will not be redeemed

More than a dozen mink hats he brought out were all gathered around him, and everyone began to tighten their horses' belly belts to tie up their bodies, and even the dry food was thrown away to reduce the weight of the mount, ready to fight to the death. Everyone was silent, knowing that it was already a critical juncture. The old guard general patted Zhang Xian on the shoulder and smiled at him: "Brother Zhang, I don't know how many you do, and it's not easy to call him, so I just call him brother............ After that, I'll leave it to us. We are not as good as you in the ability to rush and kill, but it is more than enough to turn back and stop them from fighting to the death. If any of your brothers have a lack of horsepower, you may choose a strong mount with my sons............ These mounts, or more TOF, you got it after defeating Xiao Gan, don't miss the dispatch of the old breed and the bus generation."

Zhang Xian was shocked, but he didn't expect that this old confidant who had always been unconvinced by his youth, complained constantly, and had a really big shelf, but at this time, he picked a bad messenger

Punch forward, hit fast, and there's always some chance to rush out. However, after leaving the broken back, the horse's speed decreased, and when the enemy in front and behind merged into a unit, it was ten times more difficult to get out

The old guard's general looked at Zhang Xian's expression, and said with a smile: "Why, if you are allowed to fight hard, we will not be allowed to fight to the death of the Jingyuan army?" Along the way, I have seen your Xiao Xuanzan's ability, our Western Army has been in the army for a hundred years, but it is not a comfortable reputation When our ancestors were turned into white bones in the border of the Great Song Dynasty for generations, you Xiao Xuanzan still don't know where to stay."

His subordinate immediately responded: "That's the truth, others can fight, as if our Western Army has been enjoying happiness." This reputation is not all famous."

"Then you rush forward, and we take care of you. The reputation of the Western Army is important, but it can't be covered by a Shenwu Victorious Army that has only been established for half a year."

"This Northern Expedition is really stuffy, but today I can have a good fight"

The Western Army naturally has its pride and glorious history. It's just that in the past ten years, it has gradually dimmed because of the loss of foreign enemies. However, Zhang Xian and more than a dozen other mink hats all braved the rain and traveled hundreds of miles, fighting viciously, but the pride of the Western Army was stimulated again

The old guard pushed Zhang Xian and added a whip to his horse's buttocks, and Zhang Xian's mount immediately rushed forward. The more than ten mink hat guards immediately followed closely. Immediately, everyone couldn't stop looking back, and the old kind of personal guard general was still there to fight Zhang Xian: "I will ask Quduan to meet in Bianliang on the same day, and then invite my brother to eat and drink."

In the shouts of the old guards of the Jingyuan Army in the back, Zhang Xian no longer looked back, and took off the horse lance and clamped it under his armpit. Leaning down in the saddle, he touched the place where the letter was placed on his chest one last time. Urging the horse to speed, he rushed straight towards the ushering Jelu Dashi. More than a dozen mink hat guards also acted like Zhang Xian, and in the pouring rain, these more than ten armor soldiers crashed straight into the enemy in front of them
