The shouts had stopped in the continuous camps of the Song army, and the Song soldiers and horses of the brigade were flying and concentrating. It turns out that even when Liu Guangshi was there, the layers of restraint were complete, but he was not so neat and quiet!

Yang Keshi's cavalry army is naturally the main force, and the more than 2,000 cavalry that can still be collected now still maintain the formation of eight cavalry commands, have been assembled. Fierce soldiers and horses, just waiting for the order to go west.

There are more brigades of Yanyan military horses, most of whom are infantry troops, and they are also trying their best to travel lightly. Except for dry rations and the simplest armor, they carried nothing. Rao is like this, coming out of the conflict to the east, I don't know how many people will be able to keep up with the pace of the brigade, I don't know how many people will fall on the way!

Yang Keshi walked back and forth among these military horses that were rapidly assembling the whole team, and from time to time he shouted a few words of encouragement.

Suddenly, a sergeant on duty shouted: "The Jurchen Tartars are here!" ”

Yang Keshifei also climbed the wall and looked, and saw the lights shining in the light. A team of more than 100 horsemen of Jurchen armor was galloping towards as if flying, opening up a wide array. Without hesitation, he paused and arrived in front of the village.

The sergeant who remained on the wall immediately opened his crossbow machine and waited for it.

The Jurchen rangers may have lost their vigilance due to the collapse of the Yan Yan army some time ago, and the sentry horses scattered without any worries went straight into the range of these military crossbow machines.

I didn't hear the sound of the order, and suddenly a row of arrows flew out. Then he stepped back, and the second row of crossbows flipped up again, and another row of arrows flew out!

Two rows of arrows swept across and rushed to the Jurchen rangers near the military villages, even though the formation was extremely scattered, they also fell off their horses for more than ten horses.

For those who have experience in battle formations. Much can be seen from these two rows of arrows alone.

If the defenders are scattered and crumbling. There is no intention to fight. Even if there are more crossbows. It is impossible to shoot such a neat rhythm. And the second column followed up and fired indiscriminately.

Then the crossbow machine shooting on the wall stopped, but the Jurchen rangers did not dare to move forward any longer, and turned around and hurried back.

Where is this still the collapsed and scattered Southern Army?

The rangers retreated, and then in the distance to the west, there were rows of torches, but more Jurchen Tartar rangers appeared in the night. Several Mouke flags are faintly recognizable. Seeing the military horses in front of him retreating, he slowed down and slowly pressed over, just stopping outside the range of these military villages. Coldly stared at the scene of the Song army's military village.

Yang Keshi looked at the prospect silently and clenched his fists.

Originally, Yang Keshi wanted to try his best to speed up the assembly of the army, and left as much as possible under the cover of night. Only leave as few military horses as possible in the wall. But I didn't expect that the Jurchen Tartars reacted so quickly. In the night, they hid up, holding a state of surveillance, and without asking, there were more Jurchen military horses who would move when they heard the wind and forced them over!

If there are too few soldiers and horses, the Jurchen Tartars will suddenly cover up after the brigade leaves the camp. Break through the resistance of a small number of horses after the ruin, and chase down them with higher mobility. In the end, it was the remnants of the Yan army that would be defeated. Perished in the valley of the Ulshui River!

For these Jurchen Tartar military horses that came over from the east, Yang Keshi didn't dare to ignore their combat power at all. And they also think that with their appearance in this war, they are already the only strong army that Yang Keshi has seen in his life.

And the military horses after the ruin are already doomed to be wiped out. So many Kansai sons have been abandoned and betrayed, and it is easy to find a little hope now, how to decide which military horses should go and which military horses should stay?

The Jurchen Tartar of the straight sissy thief reacts so keenly. When we were dead, we watched from afar, just waiting for our own house to disintegrate. But when we take a little bit of self-pluck, we are forced to come up!

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps behind him sounded, and a voice was heard: "General Yang!" ”

Yang Keshi turned around, and saw a general of the Yan Army with a rather unfamiliar face, he hugged his fists and saluted Yang Keshi, and opened his mouth angrily.

“………… Yang will be the master, and the last will be Bao Xu. It turned out to be General Liu's commander of the Chinese army. Our food and wages are above all the armies. Although General Liu left us and fled, we, the Chinese army, can no longer take the road by ourselves! I also asked General Yang to leave us behind, and the subordinates under my command, plus the ones collected along the way, there are more than 300, anyway, I won't go! ”

Bao Xu saluted Yang Keshi again and strode down. Immediately after that, the sound of his command was heard, and in the darkness of the night a group of men and horses drove out of the assembled crowd to take over the defense.

At the same time, a famous military general came to Yang Keshi's side and saluted him with fists. Or a little excited, or a calm look. They all asked for their own help, and they wanted to stay behind. also didn't wait for Yang Keshi to answer, and strode away.

A group of sergeants drove out, and the soldiers and soldiers who were still standing in the queue of assembling to prepare for the breakout looked at these brothers who were about to leave behind with a somewhat miserable expression.

And these Junyan military sons and daughters who stepped out of the queue have never been more radiant than they have since they crossed the river with the army and marched eastward. Loudly greeted the people he knew in the queue.

"Xiao Yi, after the killing, give a message to my father and mother, it is inevitable that you will die in the army, our family has been a soldier for several generations, they can see through it!"

"Gorou, take care of your sister! If you leave me behind and run away, go back and your sister won't scratch my face! She has to keep it, and if she doesn't, she will stop. But when you eat in the cold, give me a few sticks of incense, and we won't be married in vain! ”

"Huang Da, Huang Da! What do you do with the of your straight thief? We have worshipped, my father is your father, the villagers, don't let people bully him! When the time comes, my father's food and clothing will be short, and I won't look for you! ”

A cheerful greeting flew over the military formation, and the soldiers who accepted the order stood in the middle of the queue nodding desperately with red eyes and spears in their hands. And no matter how high the generals were in the past, they couldn't help but hang their heads at this time, not daring to face this simple face of Zhang Junhan.

There were at least two or three thousand men and horses, and without waiting for Yang Keshi's order, they took over the defense of this camp, and under the command of the generals who took the initiative to stay, they immediately began to get busy.

On top of the wall, there are archers. Armed with a crossbow machine. If the crossbow machine is insufficient. and hold a spear. Get ready to fight. Under the cover of the crossbow machine, groups of sergeants came out of the camp to reorganize the scattered deer bars and dig some silted ditches under the rain.

The Jurchen rangers, who have been monitoring the movement of the camp, will not sit and watch. Before the follow-up brigade arrived, they had already ridden out again, trying to frighten the soldiers who had left the camp and force them to scatter and rush back to the camp. Maybe they can take advantage of the situation and disrupt the entire Southern Army camp.

But these rangers were greeted by rows and rhythms of crossbow arrows. The Jurchen rangers were forced to retreat far away.

After these Jurchen rangers retreated again, they just looked at each other, suspicious.

The southern army in front of him was originally a ruined department, and its morale had fallen to the bottom. For them, the most elite Jurchen warriors in the Lou Chamber, it was like a piece of beef and mutton that was already ripe, and they could eat it whenever they wanted. So under the exhaustion, I only rested for a day or two. More is counting on the Southern Army to collapse and roll up again, and easily harvest human lives.

Who could have thought that all of a sudden. The Southern Army has changed. Morale is incredibly high again!

No matter how high the morale of the Yan army is, no matter how warlike it is, it is actually not enough to be afraid of the elite of the Lou Chamber. However, it was nighttime, and the army of this era, no matter which one it was, did not have the ability to organize a large-scale attack at night, and at most selected some elites to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to sneak attack the camp.

At present, the entire army of the Southern Army has been assembled and relies on the camp to strengthen its defense. As long as it is imminent, it is a burst of arrows. Before dawn, without preparation, the elite of Lou's room moved against the southern army for a while, and they could only watch but could not do anything!

And in the various camps, the teams of military horses did not care at all about the Jurchen rangers who had been wandering outside, and the follow-up brigades of Jurchen military horses that came with fire. In this way, under the arrangement of Yang Keshi, an elite light cavalry was the vanguard, the infantry brigade was in the center, and then a cavalry army was broken, and with such a marching sequence, the camp was driven to the east.

At the same time as the Yan Yanjun assembled the action, Wei Dagong, who was finally relieved, was so tired that he couldn't care about anything else, looking for the people and horses who came with him, and randomly found a place to sit on the ground with his buttocks, and as soon as his buttocks touched the ground, the people softened, and he lay in the muddy ground, and he didn't even have a breath of time, Wei Dagong's snoring was already loud.

Infected by Wei Dagong's snoring, whether it was the generals sent by Xiao Yan or the Junyan military horses that they searched with, they all sat on the ground, or lay down, or back to back, and they all sank into the black sweet country in an instant. A group of bloodied armor soldiers, in the midst of this firelight and crowd of people, their voices were shocking.

Suddenly, Wei Dagong was woken up by a pair of hands. He immediately turned over and got up, and subconsciously pressed the long knife on his waist.

In their sight, an old face appeared, it was the old capital who came with them.

Lao Du pointed to the side: "General Yang will send people, summon General Wei, you should hurry up and set off with General Yang to sit in the Chinese army." ”

Wei Dagong turned his head, and sure enough, he saw several Yang Keshi's personal guards waiting anxiously with their mounts beside them, and when they saw Wei Dagong's eyes sweeping, they saluted one after another. And his own team of more than 100 horsemen and horses had already gotten up one after another, pushing and shoving the other brothers who were still sleeping soundly.

Wei Dagong moved his muscles and bones, and the bones of his body crackled. After all, it is a body that has been boiled for a long time, and the strength is still as soon as it is called, and he immediately cheered up and greeted: "Old Dutou, hurry up and greet Erlang, pack your weapons and bags, see if you can find some food in the camp, bring as much as you can, and then quickly set off to find General Yang!" ”

The old man pointed silently, and where they had just slept soundly, there were already bags of dry food piled up next to them. It was while they were asleep that the old capital went to the camp to find someone to raise. Not to mention that as long as the old capital is in the Yan army, he can find one or two acquaintances anywhere, but he knows that these dry food prepared for the characters sent by King Yan, and many people suddenly come to help. The bags of dry food were stuffed to the brim, and they were all good food, and there were even a dozen gourds of wine that I didn't know how to preserve.

In addition to dry food, there are also weapons. The empty sacks were filled with feathered arrows, the broken spears were replaced with horse lances, and the notched knives were replaced with new ones. Even the war horse has a material bag on its ears, and is quietly chewing the fine materials. In a short period of time, the fur was brushed and the belly strap was tightened again.

In the most half an hour of time when everyone was asleep, the old capital had arranged so many things, and now Wei Dagong got up. Just roll over and go!

Wei Dagong's surprised gaze was withdrawn. I saw the old man bow down with his fists in his fist respectfully. Zhou Zhou bowed solemnly.

Wei Dagong suddenly had an ominous premonition. When he spoke, his tone was already extremely intense: "What do you do?" Pick a good horse and go with me! I still need you to take care of the affairs of this team. I don't have to go into battle to send two good fighters, just protect you! You old fellow, you are proficient in military affairs, even under the command of King Yan, you must be of great use............ Still standing to do even, cool point on the horse! ”

The old man straightened his head and smiled. The wrinkles on his face were squeezed deeper, and in the firelight, it seemed to be like a thousand ravines east of the river.

The military career is hard and has been through ups and downs for a long time, and if the military man is lucky enough to survive to the age of about forty, he is already very old compared to the well-maintained scholars.

"I have been in the Huanqing Army for ten years, and the Yan Army for ten years. After two armies of horses, the brothers admired their faces, and they could not succeed in fighting. can get a lot of money, and in the end, you can get all the heads............ I'm old. The toss is not moving. Huanqingjun is gone, and seeing that Yan Yanjun will no longer be the same Yan Yan army as before, so many familiar brothers are dead, I want to pull my legs and leave, and I can't get over it in my heart. Young sons and daughters live one by one, an old man like me, General Wei let me stay, let me feel straight. ”

Wei Dagong stretched out his hand with a straight face and was about to pull him, but the old capital took a step back and saluted Wei Dagong deeply again.

Wei Dagong advanced again, and the old capital retreated. The last two froze there. The rest of the people had already gotten up and watched silently as they moved between the two.

After a short silence, Wei Dagong straightened his clothes and armor, and solemnly clenched his fists and bowed. And the generals around him who were sent for Xiao Yan also saluted. Then more than a hundred knights, all bent over.

After a salute, Wei Dagong turned around and left, turned over and got on his horse, and just shouted one word: "Go!" ”

Hundreds of knights got on their horses one after another, and under the guidance of Yang Keshi's personal guards, they beat their horses and left. Occasionally, some people recalled that the crowd of people in the camp was rolling, the torches were scattered, and the slightly rickety figure of the old capital had long since disappeared.

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

At night, the mountain wind swept by, blowing countless torches into chaos, and in the brigade of hundreds of Jurchen knights, a light and shadow swayed.

This group of Jurchen knights with unkempt beards surrounded Wanyan Lou's room, gritting their teeth and looking at the southern military camp in front of them.

In the southern military camp, more torches were lit, reflecting half of the sky red.

Under the firelight, you can see rows of arrows on the wall, as well as the busy figures of the southern soldiers who are strengthening the defense of the village under the cover of the arrows!

In the camp, you can see the men and horses of the Southern Army Brigade, forming a queue and leaving the camp to the east. The torch lit by the marching army is like a fiery dragon in the valley of the Ulshui River, circling and dancing, stretching its claws and teeth!

And such a large army moved at night, and no human voice was heard. You can only hear the neighing of war horses sent by the night wind, the sound of metal clashes of armor blades, and the sound of thousands of feet firmly stepping on the mud under their feet!

A large group of men and horses, after riding first, and then a cavalry army after breaking. Well organized, not much disordered.

Where is this still the appearance of a defeated army, it is clearly a powerful army horse attacking to the east!

What happened tonight? Let this southern army, which is in the middle of the net of heaven and earth, whose morale collapsed and collapsed, restore its morale and organization, and leave at night?

Lou Mu did not regret letting the military horses stop for a day or two.

Even if it occupies an absolute advantage, there is still a saying that there are three ques. can wait for the other party to further disintegrate and collapse, and use the army to gnaw the opponent's camp and pay more casualties, which is the act of a mediocre and violent general who does not cherish the lives of his sons.

Not to mention that the sons and daughters under his command are really tired to the extreme, and it is natural to occupy such a dominant position and wait for a better time while resting.

Even Lou Mu didn't want to fight for the final destruction of the remnants of the Southern Army, but wished that Zonghan's troops would come from the north and the Hulu troops would come from the east, and let them lead this final battle.

Brave the rain to attack, cut off the river, and frighten it to be asked. forced tens of thousands of southern troops to collapse themselves. This is what the man's husband does. Chop down a few thousand more heads. What glory is there to ravage the defeated army?

At this moment, Lou Room did not see the boiled duck suddenly fly away, ordinary people would be shocked, angry and even regretful. Just a face and pondering.

What does it mean that when they are surrounded on all sides, these southern armies suddenly turn back to the east?

Even if they don't give up and rush left and right, they will only exhaust the last bit of sharpness. In the end, it will be destroyed in this valley of the water river.

Why exactly?

Suddenly, Wan Yan Lou was shocked.

Unless the East is empty!

And why is the East empty? It's just that the Zeru department was pinned down, and even had to withdraw quite a few people.

And why was the Hulu Department pinned, only the Nanren Yan King was waving his army to launch a more powerful offensive to meet this Southern Army!

It must have been the envoy sent by King Yan of the Nanren, and the ten thousand armies passed through the gaps, and they actually contacted this southern army. Then, at this moment, when there was no room for fire, this southern army went east decisively!

It's the Nanren Yan King again!

After the victory was laid, Lou Room, who was a little lazy and couldn't lift his spirits. Suddenly, at this moment, the blood all over his body boiled!

That's a good opponent! The rest of the Southern Army. Compared with this Yan King, it's just a local chicken tile dog!

Lou Mu suddenly gave a loud order: "Go and contact Zong Han and ask him to draw troops back to the division!" Except for one Mok to continue to monitor, the rest of the people are all given a certain back to rest! Wait until dawn to storm these southerners' military villages! Cheer up somebody! ”

After the order was completed, Lou Room turned around and left, not looking at the southern soldiers and horses that the brigade was leaving the east of the camp.

But it depends on you, the king of Yan, whether you can redeem this defeat in a desperate situation. Not to mention that the eastern half of the river has been stirred up by our Jurchen warriors, and there is no resistance to even crossing the river and looking at Shaanxi. Our Western Route Army has already firmly established itself, and the Eastern Route Army is surging south behind you. No matter how hard you struggle, you won't be able to save the day!

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

The fire is like a dragon, surging eastward.

The officers and men of the brigade of Yan Yan, holding torches, walked forward in silence in the night.

About half of the team carried their own armor, most of them, and they still had weapons in their hands. Those who have no armor and no weapons, holding wooden sticks, also move forward firmly.

The last time the Yan army crossed the line of Heicha Mountain and marched east to Hehe, the banner was like a forest, the armor was clear, the ordnance was fine, and the baggage was innumerable.

And at this moment, when the remaining more than 10,000 Yan Yan troops turned back and marched eastward again, this army was ten times more shabby than before. Even the organization is already in chaos, and many temporarily designated battalion leaders are assigned to the army officers and soldiers, from seventeen or eighteen different commands! And the so-called baggage is just a carry-on armor and a little dry food.

But this shabby Yan army is more like an army than before!

Yang Keshi rode his horse and walked in the queue, stopping from time to time, looking at the faces of the Kansai children passing by. The rickety back is already straight. The mount under the crotch also seemed to feel the master's firm fighting spirit, and kept digging its hooves, and from time to time it made a hiss.

Wei Dagong rode his horse and followed Yang Keshi's side, silently accompanying him to watch this Yan army.

The brigade went farther and farther, and Yang Keshi finally looked back and looked at the camp that was still burning in the night, where there were still thousands of sons and daughters who took the initiative to leave behind.

Suddenly, Yang Keshi shook the reins and galloped forward. The guards who followed him, as well as Wei Dagong and others, all hurried to keep up.

In the night, the sound of horses' hooves sounded like thunder, and countless Yan Yanjun turned their heads to look at the knights who were galloping past the queue.

I should live up to the trust of these broken children, and I must fight a bloody way! Why bother still sitting in the Chinese army? These boys, where do you want me to sit in charge? As long as they made a promise from the King of Yan, they would go east with all their hearts!

Yanwang Yanwang, I hope you don't fail your promise. From this desperate situation, really pull these Kansai children out! These are the seeds of the future Western Army! (To be continued......)
