Volume 3 Mending the Crack in the Sky Chapter 164 Banquet Hongmen (6)
Yang Keshi just sat in the tent, and he didn't know how long.
What is the situation outside, Yang Keshi doesn't care anymore. Just rubbing the iron shovel in his hand repeatedly.
Yang Keshi is a famous cavalry general, and he can use both long and short blades on his horse. But the most beloved and commonly used is this iron shovel.
The mace was left behind by his father, and the iron quality was very poor. In order not to bend and break quickly under the collision with the armor in the battle array, the weight is extremely heavy. There are twelve catties of a single mace facing upwards. After decades of use, it has been slightly curved, and the blood seems to have soaked into the iron, making the black and heavy iron shovel slightly red.
After twenty years in the army, with this iron shovel, he smashed the heads of many Tartars. Walk through the enemy line again and again, capture the enemy's banner, and finally ride back to the Western Army's magnificent lineup, throwing the enemy's flag in front of the ten thousand armies!
From beginning to end, the Western Army was where all the characters who rushed out of the ranks like Yang Keshi depended.
But now, this dependence is gradually collapsing. You can even see the end at a glance.
It's okay to die, anyway, even if you are lucky enough to survive, what's the fun?
Yang Keshi didn't care about the department anymore, just waited for the last moment to come.
Suddenly there was a loud noise outside, and even the shouts of the sergeants were heard again, and these sounds went from small to loud. Gradually, it spread, and it was still a little low, buzzing and surging. Later, it became more and more high, until it resounded in the night sky!
Outside the tent, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps, one day and one night. I've never heard such hurried footsteps!
Could it be that the Tartars are coming up?
Yang Keshi clenched the iron shovel in his hand as soon as he clenched it, and he wanted to stand up, even if he died. Smash the heads of a few more Jurchen Tartars too!
The curtain of the military tent was lifted, revealing the faces of their own guards who were already full of excitement.
"General, the Lord Yan is here!"
King Yan sent someone? In front of Yang Keshi's eyes, the face of a young man who had not been seen for several years suddenly appeared.
At the time of Yandi, the battle between the Western Army and Tong Guan was fierce, and the Huanqing Army was cut off almost without any major battle. And let Xiao Yan become famous.
For those who can fight and dare to fight, Yang Keshi has always had great kindness. At that time, the old seed sent out the white soldiers and returned to Xiao Yan's order. Yang Keshi, as the general of the white chest, did not complain at all. did not hide the elite soldiers and strong generals he was optimistic about.
After several years of ups and downs, the old race has passed away, and the Western Army has fallen into such a degenerate situation, although it is still holding on to the situation. The soldiers and horses have even been expanded in the past few years. But after this battle, who can't see the deep twilight of the Western Army?
But that young man, who shook the storm, has become the current King of Yan, and his power is overwhelming. Now raise more heavy troops and fight the Jurchen Tartars in a decisive battle!
And with the change of status of both sides, the old species is gone. It turned out that the subtle kindness between Xijun and Xiao Yan had already dissipated. Now the Western Army sees Xiao Yan more as an adversary.
Yang Keshi didn't have any opinion on Xiao Yan. There is no evil desire of the generals of the Western Army to want to die - this thought comes from it. It turned out that the Great Song Dynasty almost poured half of the country's strength to support the Western Army. The family of generals of the Western Army teamed up with Wenchen in this huge military expenditure. Eat all the brains and intestines. However, Xiao Yan's rise has also pulled out a strong army, although it is maintaining a perfunctory Western Army, but the resources are tilted, and it has been greatly reduced. Isn't cutting off people's financial routes an enemy of life and death?
But Yang Keshi has always been a model military general who is only on orders. The small species let him attribute to Liu Guangshi's temperance, and he attributed it to Liu Guangshi's temperance. Liu Guangshi coerced him to cross the river and march eastward. He also did his best.
Although Yang Keshi always thought that contacting the Yan Wang's department, it was the complete strategy to fight with each other. But when Liu Guangshi put on a resolute attitude, Yang Keshi never had any contact with Yan Wang's department.
At this time, how could King Yan send an envoy to come suddenly?
Yang Keshi's body moved, and his heart was in a mess, but he couldn't figure out a clue.
And Yang Keshi's personal guard had already brought in a young general, who was full of exhaustion, and in just a few days, he was emaciated and haggard, and his eyes were already red. The armor was also covered with battle scars and blood stains. But it's not Wei Dagong, who is it?
This young general, who is full of the name of Lingyan Pavilion in the future, took risks this time, and showed all his strength and youthful fierceness. In time, he rushed to the military fortress where the remnants of the Yan army were still guarded, and found a road to the valley of the Weishui River. It never stopped, and under the leadership of the people and horses sent out in the village, it marched west again without sleep!
The Jurchen Tartars already had military horses, and they also entered the Weishui River Valley from other mountain paths, and in Hehe County, there were Jurchen squads everywhere on a rampage, or plundering the military supplies, grains, and goods that were discarded by the Yan Yan army, or chasing and killing the scattered stragglers of the Yan Yan army. And most of these fleeing troops retreated from the military villages in the east, and they had no ability to resist, but they were killed by the Jurchen Tartars everywhere in Hehe County.
Wei Da Power led these many horses, all the way to the west, all the way to collect scattered defeated troops. At this time, I have to say that the benefits of the old capital who came out of the military village are really not successful, but in the Yan army, there are many people, enough friendships, and even words. When he saw every scattered defeated army, he quickly explained that King Yan sent an envoy to him, and while fighting and pinning down in the east, he wanted to search for the defeated army with General Yang, and then attack to the east and fight a bloody way!
Without waiting for Wei Dagong to show up and say something, the old capital head moved the defeated army again and again, summoned up the courage to fight, and followed this small team of men and horses to the west.
On the way, after several small-scale battles, Wei Dagong's army was getting bigger and bigger, with two or three hundred cavalry troops, and one or two thousand infantry troops following behind, just struggling to follow in the mud. Even if the infantry army is backward and can't keep up, they will line up in formation, break off for Wei Dagong, and block those chasing Jurchen rangers!
Later, gradually the Jurchen rangers disappeared, and continued to turn around and plunder and intercept in Hehe County. And Wei Dagong tied himself to the back of a horse. Insist on going west to find Yang Keshi's department.
And finally at midnight, Wei Dagong's department fell behind along the way. There were only one or two hundred horsemen left, and finally on the front line of Black Tea Mountain, they bumped into the continuous camp of Yang Keshi's department!
At this time, Wei Dagong couldn't even stand on his feet, and tried his best to keep himself from closing his eyes. looked at Yang Keshi half-sitting and half-up, still holding the iron shovel and looking at him with a blank face. Wei Dagong clasped his fists and saluted.
"General Yang, the last general Yan Wang under the command of Wei Dagong. Sent for King Yan. Yingyang marched eastward and led the children of Kansai. Fight a bloody path! And the king of Yan was already east of Yifang, launching an offensive to contain the Jurchen army and horses. Act early, and there's a silver lining! ”
Yang Keshi didn't seem to have reacted yet. He sat down slowly, and said, "Wei Dagong, I also heard this name back then." It seems to be in the Huanqing Army? On that day, I wanted to transfer you to the Baiqi soldiers, but Liu Yanqing and General Liu were fighting with the old people, and the soldiers under his command just couldn't be transferred............ Are you under King Yan now? ”
Wei Dagong said anxiously: "General Yang, the last general is here, not to talk about the past with the general." The military situation was like fire, and thousands of brothers fought desperately between the mountains east of Yifang to contain the Jurchen Tartars. To the west and to the north, the Jurchen Tartar army oppressed. If you don't leave, it's too late! ”
Yang Keshi shook his head: "What are you going?" But in the army, it is nothing more than a death in battle. Where to die, not yet in general? Go ahead. Get out of this place of death early. Returning to King Yan for me, Yang was a general of the Western Army, and the army was destroyed, so he was not the only one. ”
Before leaving, Xiao Yan had a conversation with Wei Dagong and instructed Wei Dagong to act. How to deal with it, especially after Yang Keshi is really found. How to say that this wooden general, who is actually quite stubborn in the Western Army. Otherwise, even if Wei Dagong is a little talented, how can he figure out the thoughts of these important generals of the Western Army? How can we grasp the thoughts of these defeated subordinates of Yan Yanjun?
And Xiao Yan also brought a message to Yang Keshi, asking Wei Dagong to tell Yang Keshi as he was.
Looking at Yang Keshi's stiff expression, Wei Dagong sneered.
“………… King Yan entrusted the last general to pass a few words to General Yang. If after finishing speaking, General Yang still holds the idea of martyrdom, then the last general will turn around and leave, just if this trip is desperate to the death, it will be in vain. ”
Yang Keshi half-closed his eyes and did not say a word. And Wei Dagong didn't care about him, just spoke loudly.
"King Yan said that the Western Army is like this, but it should be defeated! If this kind of intrigue continues, the small race will be less and less able to grasp the overall situation. The collapse of the Yan army is just the beginning! In the end, I'm afraid that the little race will also be affected by them!
………… However, the rebirth of the Western Army is not limited to one time. During the Qingli period, there were three unprecedented defeats, and the backbone of the Western Army was empty. The party is a soldier and coerces Guanzhong. However, the new generation of the Western Army rose up, gathered lessons in the past 20 years, and then achieved the heyday of the Western Army in 20 years!
Since the invasion of Yan, the Western Army has suffered repeated defeats. The vitality is gradually damaged, and the internal struggle is endless, which is irreparable. Even if a small race is a common one, it is just helpless............
But others can't, but King Yan can! Others pity the century-old prestige of the Western Army, and King Yan regrets it! Even though the princes of the Western Army would rather fight among themselves, they could bear to watch the Western Army sink. Then King Yan is here to protect General Yang, and in his hands, he should rebuild the prestige of the Western Army and pass it on for a hundred years! It is the elite of King Yan's current department, the foundation of his development, and he is also a Western Army athlete!
General Yang, King Yan's last words are that if General Yang is reluctant to give up the Western Army, in this national war situation, try his best to save a little more for the Western Army, bring more Guanxi disciples to rush out, and then the whole army will fight with the Tartars again! ”
Yang Keshi was shocked.
He is a person with an uncomplicated mind, and he is only concerned with the Western Army all his life. Because he couldn't see the future of the Western Army, he was powerless and preferred to die in battle. Xiao Yan sent someone to risk death at this moment to assure him that he was here to save the Western Army!
Yang Keshi can not believe other people's words, but since Xiao Yan said it categorically, he has some confidence. It's just because Xiao Yan has been doing all the way, but if he wants to do something, how can anyone stop him in front of him? Those princes who brutalized the Western Army were like chickens and dogs in front of Xiao Yan!
The most important thing is that Xiao Yan is honest in one sentence. He is now in the elite under his command, and at the beginning of his development, isn't it the same line of the Western Army?
Like the sergeants under his command, Yang Keshi is also like a drowning person, finding a place to rely on and finding a reason to continue fighting to the death.
Relying on King Yan, rejuvenate the Western Army, make the Western Army prestigious, and pass it on for another hundred years!
Yang Keshi finally opened his eyes, and said, "That little kind of Xianggong ............"
Wei Dagong said respectfully: "This matter is not something that the last general can say. I also asked General Yang to speak to King Yan in person when the time came. ”
Yang Keshi muttered to himself: "Okay, when the time comes, I'll ask King Yan, and when the time comes, I'll ask King Yan ............."
After repeating it a few times, Yang Keshi suddenly jumped up and said loudly: "King Yan is holding back in the east, and he really led away most of the Jurchen army and horses in the east?" Is there really a bloody way for these Kansai children to rush out? ”
Wei Dagong smiled and pointed outward, and at this time, Yang Keshi clearly heard the high cheers outside the tent!
"Even if the last general can deceive General Yang alone, how can he deceive these thousands of Kansai disciples? General Yang just go out and have a look! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outside the military tent, there was already a boiling at the moment. In the middle of the night, a military horse suddenly covered in blood, killed from the west, and crashed into the camp. Amazing news.
King Yan sent an army to meet the defeated troops of Yan Yan, and pinned down most of the Jurchen Tartars in the east, giving tens of thousands of Guanxi disciples a way to get out of conflict!
The news was too sudden and too shocking. But seeing these hundreds of bloodied and high-spirited military horses, watching these familiar brothers scatter, one by one in the army swore to spread the news. Everyone gradually wavered, as if they saw a glimmer of hope in the desperate situation!
These hundreds of military horses can all rush all the way to the west. And to the east, there are their own brothers who are guarding the pathway. Yifang is close to the left and very empty. It's not a way to live!
Moreover, the Yan Yan army is not successful, and by extension, the western army has also declined. But now it is King Yan who is stretching out his hand! How many children of Guanxi have attached themselves to King Yan and fought one strong army after another, why can't we rely on King Yan, if our fate is big, we will achieve a career?
At this time, there is only King Yan in the whole world who stretches out his hand!
Xiao Yan's miraculous victories also gave these defeated troops great expectations. Maybe it can really be under the spread of King Yan, so that these thousands of abandoned Kansai disciples can rush out as an army.
Now and then, these fighting men will no longer be lightly discarded and turned into white bones under the hooves of Tartar horses!
These sergeants, their eyes once again shining with fighting spirit, began to rummage through the blades and armor that had been discarded by them, and the generals began to step forward, summon the old troops, and re-bind them. The shouts grew from low to high, and the whirlwind echoed in the night sky.
"To the east! East! East! ”
When Yang Keshi stepped out of the military tent, he saw such a scene. Countless sergeants just stood in their respective ranks, waiting for his orders!
Several generals greeted him, their lips trembling, and they couldn't say a word in a state of agitation. Just fell down with a bang and clenched his fists fiercely!
Yang Keshi's gaze swept over the familiar faces. It dawned on him for a moment.
The Western Army is not at all those generals who are now high up and will only fight for power and profit, but these Kansai athletes who follow the banner of the Western Army and go to the battlefield of death one after another! It is a military general who died with these athletes in the history of the Western Army!
How could he not do everything he could to bring out as many of these Western troops as possible? These are all seeds, and they are all the seeds of the stronger Great Song Dynasty border army in the future, no matter where they will be in the Great Song Dynasty in the future!
Yang Keshi also raised his arms and exclaimed.
"To the east! East! East! (To be continued)
