Chapter Twenty-Six: The First Battle of Wang Bo

In the night, Yang Yuanqing had already taken off his purple official robe, put on his bright light armor, wore an eagle prismatic helmet, held a sky-breaking lance, and looked coldly at the surging thieves, he shook his head gently, there were only 4,000 people in total, and he actually scattered his troops to surround the village, afraid that he would run away, what did they think the four hundred cavalry was, was it a roe deer, cattle and sheep?

"General, what a fucking rabble!" Zhang Sheng, the leader of the guards, couldn't help but scold. ，

"Don't take the enemy lightly!"

Yang Yuanqing scolded, he looked back at the four hundred subordinates, all of them were in good spirits, their armor was bright, they were holding bows and arrows and sharp spears, and everyone's eyes flashed with a desire for war.

Yang Yuanqing's gaze fell on more than a dozen imperial historians, and more than a dozen imperial historians also changed into armor and held combat knives in their hands, although there was not much difference between them and soldiers on the outside, but the nervousness and timidity were revealed from their eyes.

"Protect the officials, rush out first!"

Yang Yuanqing waved his lance, "Brothers, rush with me!" ”

He urged the horse to take the lead in galloping, four hundred cavalry escorted twelve imperial historians followed, like a sharp spear, straight to the thief soldiers a hundred steps away, Yang Yuanqing took the lead, like the sharpest spear tip, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the shadows of the horses were like a lightning bolt in the night, and they rushed into the enemy group in an instant.

"Kill!" Yang Yuanqing roared, the war horse crossed high from the head of the thief, and the sky-breaking lance stabbed towards a thief, the thief was caught off guard, and was pierced through the chest by a lance, and was raised high in the air, Yang Yuan waved the long lance, and the corpse was thrown out, and the huge lance head waved left and right, breaking the heads of several thieves, he galloped on the horse, slashed and assassinated all the way, and the corpses were all over the place, and the blood mist was filled, killing a bloody road.

The thieves were frightened by the ferocious killing, and when they saw his war horse rushing forward, they stumbled and fled to both sides, giving way like chopping waves, and in a moment, Yang Yuanqing led the cavalry to rush out of the encirclement, and he looked back, more than 400 subordinates and 12 imperial historians.

Yang Yuanqing immediately ordered a team to lead fifty cavalry to escort Yu Shi to the county seat first, he just saw the thief soldier banner on the word 'Zhi Shilang', this turned out to be Wang Bo's team, at this moment, Yang Yuanqing no longer wanted to leave, he wanted Wang Bo and the Shandong group of thieves to remember his name Yang Yuanqing. ，

Yang Yuanqing looked back at his subordinates, and under the moonlight, he saw that the eyes of the three hundred and fifty cavalrymen were flashing with excitement and expectation, he nodded, and ordered in a loud voice: "Line up, prepare to fight!" ”

The three hundred and fifty cavalrymen lined up in formation, quickly lined up in seven columns, like a clenched fist, murderously waiting to fight the thieves.

It wasn't until the officers and soldiers broke out of the encirclement that Wang Bo realized that he had made a big mistake, the troops he brought were not enough for him to surround the village, and the circle was too large to thin his troops, while the other side was cavalry, one-on-one, and his infantry was not an opponent at all, so that the officers and soldiers could easily break out of the encirclement.

Wang Bo felt a burst of chagrin in his heart, frustrated that he was too anxious, but soon, his chagrin turned into a surprise, the other party did not flee, but the whole army wanted to fight him.

"Boss, something is wrong!"

His subordinates noticed that something was wrong with the other party, and he pointed to the officers and soldiers hundreds of paces away, "Look over there! ”

Wang Bo had already seen that in the cold moonlight, a neat contingent of cavalry was quietly stationed in the wilderness, their armor shining, like a piece of incomparably hard cold iron, murderous and chilling.

Wang Bo also had a little doubt in his heart, he had also come into contact with some county soldiers in Lu County, Langya County, and Jibei County in the past two years, these officers and soldiers had not fought for decades, in addition to being well-equipped, other morale and combat power were the same as them, or even inferior to his subordinates.

But the cavalry in front of them was completely different, and the murderous intent permeating their bodies made them seem to be thousands of people, although they only had more than three hundred people.

"Boss, we caught the lieutenant chief, he knows the situation!"

Several soldiers brought the lieutenant chief, who had been found from the village, and the lieutenant was already trembling with fright, unable to walk, and was almost carried up by the thieves. ，

Wang Bo raised his chin with a whip and asked gloomily: "Let me ask you, who is the leader of this army of officers and soldiers?" ”

"The surname is Yang.... It's Dr. Goshi! The lieutenant said in a trembling voice.

"Surname Yang, Imperial Doctor?"

Wang Bo thought about it, was taken aback, and blurted out, "Yang Yuanqing!" ”

The henchman officer next to him was so frightened that he took two steps back, is it Yang Yuanqing, who is known as the first arrow in the world and wiped out 100,000 Hu soldiers in Fengzhou?

Wang Bo whipped the officer with his backhand, glared at him viciously, and said, "Don't say it!" ”

Wang Bo now understands why Liu Badao didn't dare to rob the cavalry's war horse, it turned out that the other party's leader turned out to be Yang Yuanqing, he hated and regretted in his heart, hated Liu Badao for pit himself behind his back, regretted that he didn't inquire clearly in advance, and rashly went down the mountain.

Wang Bo glanced at the other party's more than 300 cavalry, looked back at his army, and sighed in his heart, now that he retreats, he will inevitably be chased and killed by the other party, and he will be defeated, so he can only fight with the other party, with ten enemies and one, if he can defeat Yang Yuanqing, or even kill him, he will definitely be famous all over the world, thinking of this, Wang Bo has a little courage in his heart.

He turned around and shouted, "All line up, ready to fight!" ”

This time, he did not dare to disperse the army again, but gathered the army together and prepared to fight a hard battle with the other party's more than 300 cavalry.

The thieves gathered from all directions, and Zhang Sheng, the leader of the guards, whispered to Yang Yuanqing: "General, it's better to take advantage of their unstable assembly.......

Yang Yuanqing looked at the other party's loose formation, and sneered: "To deal with this kind of rabble, you don't need to use any sneak attacks, so as not to cut my name." ”

The four thousand thieves were quickly assembled, and Wang Bo didn't give his subordinates a chance to hesitate and be timid, and waved his sword, "Kill it!" ”

Thousands of thieves with wooden sticks and spears poured up like a tide, killing the officers and cavalry three hundred paces away.

"Column double row of arrows!"

Yang Yuanqing gave an order, three hundred and fifty cavalry quickly formed a team, arranged in two rows, in an arc, among the three hundred and fifty cavalry, one hundred were the most elite of the Fengzhou army, and the other two hundred and fifty were also the elite of the forbidden army, everyone was skilled in bows and horses, well-trained, and the cavalry were all picking up bows and arrows, ready to shoot.

The surging thieves were getting closer and closer, and they had already taken a hundred steps, Yang Yuanqing also opened his bow and arrows, slowly pulled out the bow, and as soon as the string was loosened, a wolf's tooth arrow shot out like lightning, and a horse officer led by an arrow pierced his throat, screamed, turned over and fell off his horse.

Yang Yuanqing's arrow is an order, three hundred and fifty cavalry released arrows together, the arrows were shot intensively at the thieves, the thieves basically had no armor, the team was dense, only a scream was heard, a large number of thieves fell, and more than 200 people were killed and injured in the first round of arrows.

But the death and wounding of more than 200 people did not have any effect on the 4,000 people, the crowd continued to rush forward, the spears were dense like a forest, the shouting of killing shook the sky, fifty paces, the Sui cavalry shot the second round of bows and arrows, dense hundreds of arrows swept through the air, shot into the crowd, and there was another scream, this time, the thieves began to be timid, the pace slowed down significantly, and the fighting spirit was rapidly fading.

Immediately after Yang Yuanqing waved his hand, the cavalry quickly retreated dozens of steps, the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of arrows were fired, and five rounds of arrows were fired in a row, and the casualties of the thieves were close to twenty percent, more than seven hundred people.

Twenty percent of the casualties have begun to affect the morale of the Sui army, not to mention the rebels with a very poor level of training, they have been greatly impacted, witnessing their companions dying beside them, and the other party is a fully armoured, well-equipped, and murderous cavalry, the morale of the thieves was exhausted, and they quickly collapsed, I don't know who turned around first, thousands of thieves shouted, turned around and fled.

Yang Yuanqing waved his sword and shouted, "Kill!" ”

Three hundred and fifty cavalrymen suddenly launched, hooves like thunder, brandished swords and spears, slaughtered into the group of thieves, more than 3,000 thieves fled in all directions, crying and screaming, but the cavalry was merciless, swords and spears, this battle was bloody, corpses were everywhere, and countless surrendered people.

Wang Bo has been at the end of the ranks, when the officers and soldiers stopped two rounds of arrows, and retreated to shoot the third round of arrows, he knew that the general trend had gone, and at the moment when the troops collapsed, he turned around and fled first, leading more than 100 soldiers to flee to Changbai Mountain.

"Stop the pursuit!"

Yang Yuanqing ordered to stop the pursuit, gathered the soldiers, he reined in the war horse and looked around, only to see that in the night, in the wilderness with a radius of 100 acres, the corpses of the thieves were lying all over the place, and there were many wounded soldiers moaning and begging in the blood.

Yang Yuanqing has been fighting for many years, and his heart has long been as hard as iron, although these thieves are desperate peasants, but they are not doing the right thing for heaven, to fight officers and soldiers, to rob official food, but their target is those weaker and more innocent people, they rob and kill, and they are also ruthless when they insult women, Yang Yuanqing has no mercy for these thieves, this is an era of the jungle, only with blood can wash away the violence of this era.

Soon a sergeant stepped forward to report: "Report to the general, 2,000 thieves were killed, more than 1,000 were captured, and less than 1,000 escaped." ”

"What about the casualties of the brethren?"

"Nine brothers killed and fourteen wounded!"

Yang Yuanqing nodded, and then ordered, "Clean up the materials, collect the weapons, and bury the bodies of all the war dead on the spot!" ”

At this time, a group of cavalry from afar rushed quickly, about 500 people, headed by the general, it was Zhang Xutuo, the Cheng of Qi County, he got the news that thousands of thieves went down the mountain, and went in the direction of the Yellow River, he guessed that Wang Bo was very likely to come to deal with Yang Yuanqing, he was immediately shocked, and led the army to support.

He caught a few fleeing thieves on the road, and when he learned that the thief army had been defeated, and more than 4,000 people were defeated by Yang Yuanqing's more than 300 cavalry, he let go of his heart.

In the night, Yang Yuanqing had already greeted him, and Lao Yuan immediately bowed his hand and said, "Master, please accept the apprentice's salute!" ”

Zhang Xutuo saw his beloved disciple again, his heart was extremely happy, and he laughed loudly, "Yuanqing, is this the meeting gift you gave me?" ”
