Chapter 111: Turning the Tide (6)

Dong Dalang sat on the horseback of his mount. Straightened up, looked at the scene of the south of the Qidu River opposite, looked at the meandering and shallow river in front of him, and looked at the lifeless Danzhou City on the opposite side of the Qidu River. The people in this city are waiting for the battle between these two unexpected soldiers and horses, and only the winner can control the fate of the most important state and county in the Youyan borderland.

And Dong Dalang, in Qidu Hebei, waited patiently for almost another day and a night.

After the Yanshan War, he became a joke in the eyes of the Jurchens. In his own heart, these veterans who followed him to fight for many years, from the Liao State to the Jurchens, and then from the Jurchens back to the Liao State, their confidence in him was a little shaken. Seeing that his crotch was no longer the divine horse of Xi Wang Xiamo, but another selected red war horse, although it was still quite a divine horse, it was far less than the original. Seeing this scene, even Dong Dalang's most confidant veteran was a little demoralized.

Since stepping through Yanshan. Dong Dalang led them to rush to the forefront of the Jurchen horses, swept many Wubi villages and towns, and accepted the surrender of many local heroes. In Yanshan, the morale that was destroyed to the extreme by Yue Fei and Ma Kuo finally came back. was joined by some local powerful private soldiers, and the momentum was also a little bigger - although Yin Keshu still gave Dong Dalang the opportunity to be the forerunner, he never mentioned how his soldiers and horses that were still north of Gubeikou were used, and they were basically taken back by Yin Keshu for their own use.

The men and horses were expanded, and they swept through the border of Youyan, and everyone thought that Dong Dalang's team had been fighting for many years and had been defeated many times. Unexpectedly, when Dong Dalang led them straight to Danzhou, in the twilight of the early morning, one by one they were frustrated to find that in the most important place near the left of Danzhou City, the Song military camp had been erected, and the military horn and flag fluttering on this camp were exactly the same as the military horn and flag they saw at Gubeikou!

This southerner army horse has repeatedly blocked in front of them from the city of Yizhou, repeatedly frustrated them, and now appears near the left side of Danzhou, as if it is Dong Dalang's eternal nemesis!

As if sensing the morale of the army under his command, Dong Dalang immediately held down the military horse and settled down in the north of Qidu River, facing the Song army from a distance. The two sides rode and patrolled along the river to complement each other, and everyone didn't seem to see the last battle immediately. Among the Song army, Fang Teng, Ma Kuo, Tang Huai, Yu Jiang and others were all slightly surprised. Time is undoubtedly on their side, and what is Dong Dalang waiting for?

But by the next day. In the early morning of September 30 in the fourth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, Dong Dalang came out of the camp and lined up in Qidu Hebei. He put on a posture of preparing to fight to the death.

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

Dong Dalang finally turned around from the horse and looked at the formation of his own family and horses.

Facing him were rows of untidy foot soldiers, lined up in a crooked formation. Originally, these were mostly soldiers and horses from the prefectures and counties of the Liao people, and there were also some powerful private soldiers in some places. This part of the local officials of the Liao people, even including the local bandits who took advantage of the troubled times, since the Jurchen banner was changed, some of them waited and watched, and there were always some rich and noble, ready to serve the new master.

There is no other reason, the Jurchen is prestigious, the Great Song Dynasty may not have too intuitive feelings, and the whole of the Great Liao Empire has been completely defeated by this fierce northern fighting nation, and they are so frightened that they often have nightmares! In their opinion, the Song people only have the ability to take advantage of the weakness of the Liao people to pick up cheap, once the Jurchens move south, the Song people are on foot, do they still want to gain a firm foothold on the Youyan Plain?

Since this land of Youyan is destined to be a Jurchen, there is now a step to enter the body. The sooner you exert some effort, the sooner your future status can be determined.

Seventy-seven-eighty-eight was collected, and in just a few days, Dong Dalang also cobbled together more than a thousand foot soldiers who could barely fight, Youyan and horses, and a messy one or two hundred cavalry. In the back, there were thousands of chaotic militia auxiliaries who followed, many of whom were powerful and powerful, and they brought all the belongings in the dock wall. As long as they can defeat Danzhou, and then follow the Jurchens to sweep a few states and counties, or even directly grab Yanjing, even if they invest in the gambling book at this time, they are afraid that there will be no tenfold return?

Dong Dalang waited for a whole day and a night in the north of Qidu Hebei, and a large part of them were also waiting for these new annexed troops who were not marching fast and the ranks were chaotic to arrive on the battlefield.

However, the appearance of these patchwork troops pulled out by poor equipment and military discipline and war spirit is a bit frustrating. It took a lot of effort for the ragged and disheveled soldiers to form a simple horizontal formation. At this time, many of Dong Dalang's henchmen and subordinates were sent down to assist the powerful leaders of the various families, and at this time, they rode horses and ran around in front of the team, giving orders hoarsely, asking them to move faster and look a little more presentable.

Among this military horse, there are also people with bright armor, and most of them are good horses. Most of these people are the sons of powerful people everywhere, and they may not have seen a few regular battles, and they have experienced weapons fights with each other. But the shelves are full, and they all seem to be famous generals in a hundred battles. Riding on a horse, he raised his chest and belly, and he didn't care much about the morale of his own military horse formation, but he was looking at other Haoqiang's children angrily, and from time to time he made a little bit of anger.

The silence of the army fighting in formation was not reflected at all, but everywhere there was the sound of people shouting and neighing. There was a lot of smoke and dust, and all kinds of nominal banners of the new committee were fluttering around. In the eyes of people who don't understand the military formation, they are very energetic, and they look like they are full of horses.

Dong Dalang shook his head invisibly, raised his hand to signal, and suddenly more than a dozen horsemen came out of the crowd and galloped in the direction where he was standing at the front. In an instant, he has come to his side, including his henchmen and generals, and there are also local heroes who have just returned. It is the backbone of the command of this attack on Danzhou.

Dong Dalang's henchmen and generals all looked ugly, no matter how unlucky they were recently, they also regarded their own family as a real army. Although these rabble have their uses, they are really angry when they are brought together! Several places are strong, although they are a little excited and eager to try, but more of them are still panicked, and their eyes are deliberately avoiding the Song ironclad knights who are still slowly patrolling the south bank of the river at this time, looking at the Song ironclad knights who are gathered on the opposite side as if they were nothing. There is also the southerner camp that stands on a high place and does not know how many iron horses are hidden in the fence!

Dong Dalang's expression didn't move, he just asked one of his henchmen, "Where are the Jurchen soldiers and horses led by the three nobles?" ”

The henchman general looked hesitant, and reluctantly replied: "Da Lang, they are still twenty miles behind us and have not moved, the sentry has sent news, this morning, when we went out of the camp to line up, they did not move, and the sentry knight did not take it back, but put it farther away." I see that they have made up their minds, and they are ready to watch us fight to the death this time! ”

Dong Dalang snorted, and smiled towards the few places that had also changed color: "How many people, have you seen it?" If you want to be famous and rich, you have to show your skills! Wherever I went, this bowl of rice was not delicious. Today, we have to make an appearance! If you want the Jurchens to value us, you have to take this place down happily! ”

A place where Haoqiang looked the most scared, and it was estimated that he was already regretting why he was so enthusiastic, and he had to follow Dong Dalang to join in the fun, he snorted and said: "The Jurchen iron can't ride, these Song people also look very strong...... There is no intention of retreating in the slightest, it should also be the elite of the Song people............ Can we afford to eat here? With me, most of them are family children, and there are strong people in the village, if it is damaged, I don't want to say that I will be rich in the future, and it is difficult to even protect myself! ”

Dong Dalang laughed, waved his hand and said, "You have to protect yourself, just go back!" Guarding your small earthen village, how much will you be productive in the future? What kind of world is this? Don't you take this opportunity to climb up as soon as possible and become a person who controls the life and death of one party, and wait until the world is decided in the future, and a state and county official will make you bend over and bend the knot? Bao Tietou, my father's old acquaintance with you, he also rested in your dock wall back then, so naturally he has a friendship, and it will hurt you? ”

He pointed to Danzhou again: "This Liaodi border county is the most important place, there are seven or eight hundred pairs of good armor in the city, there are thousands of good swords, spears, horses, bows, crossbows, arrows, and countless others. Don't say you didn't have the idea here! You are here to the left, don't you want to listen to the dispatch here, in the troubled times, but also to pay food for Wang Yasha in Danzhou on a business trip? I said it earlier. Take Danzhou, I don't want anything in it, it's all yours! At that time, you can really protect yourself in this world - when Youyan changes masters, one side of the shepherd, and after all of them are managed, they are all indispensable! ”

Na Bao Tietou shut up, and a place beside him that looked much younger and more vigorous said loudly: "Da Lang is right! Human life in troubled times is not as good as ants, we are each guarding the walls of each house, no one knows how long it can last, rather than being afraid of waiting for someone to kill, it is better to be a murderer in this troubled world! The winner is the prince and the loser is the thief, but that's it! ”

Dong Dalang laughed: "Who said it wasn't!" The world is big, just in such a world, it is the autumn of a good man to dominate the world, who wants to be the dog of the household, who goes! When the time comes, when the people of Qidu Hebei are soaring today, don't look at the heat! ”

He rode his horse and walked a few steps, patting the young man who had just spoken: "Chang Yanzi, it's time here, I'll go back to Zonghan and give you an army!" Under the command of the Jurchens, there are very few newly attached troops, and when the time comes, you will be side by side with our Changsheng army, and it is not known that you will be in charge of this swallow land together! ………… Can things in Danzhou be stable? ”

That Chang Yanzi was originally born as a bandit in Yanshan, and Dong Dalang's own father, Dong Xiaocun, was taken down by Xiao Gan and cut off his head because he was entangled with these bandit rebels. Speaking of it, he and Dong Dalang can be regarded as old friends. In the last days of the Great Liao, there were fires everywhere, and later there was no way to take these bandit rebels, so they had to give them the name of indiscriminately to divide the place, the big ones had prefectures and counties, and the small ones also sat on the dock wall. These people were originally accustomed to licking blood in troubled times, and it was when they were ambitious, Dong Dalang returned to Youyan and ran rampant on the border, and they were also the fastest to submit.

Chang Yanzi is more than 30 people, wearing a large Liao-style fish-scale iron armor, and a heart guard on his chest is polished brightly, dazzling in the autumn sun. Hearing Dong Dalang's question, he licked his lips and laughed: "Wang Yasha and us were also the same back then, the Liao people recruited him, and he became the defense envoy of Danzhou, but he was ruthless in killing us!" This guy has read a few books, and he has lost his mind, and at this time he is going to be a loyal minister of Shiniao Daliao! also released rumors, saying that he was a Han Chinese, and he was not allowed to surrender, and he was also going south and not north............ He has not been a child since he was a mother, who knows who he was ** out of!

There are a lot of people under his command, and there are a few of us who are from a good background. There are a few old departments that were still Da Lang's father back then! Everything has been arranged, and Wan'an will not go wrong............ What if something goes wrong? This Danzhou is the king of Yasha, and I can't help it? If you want to get ahead in this world, you have to put your life on the line! Dalang, you can just give the order! Either the scenery enters Danzhou, or the dog gnaws the wolf, Grandpa Chang doesn't care! ”

Dong Dalang laughed, slapped Chang Yanzi's chest heart goggles heavily, turned his head off his horse, and raised his hand: "Blow the trumpet, march!" ”

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

On a temporary watchtower erected in the Song military camp in the south of Qidu River, Ma Kuang Fang Teng, as well as Tang Huai Yujiang, all stood on it in military uniforms, concentrating on the north.

This watchtower is so simple that it does not even have a top to shelter from the wind and rain, but it is a platform supported by four large logs. Standing on it, all the situations on the battlefield near the left of Danzhou are unobstructed.

On the other side of the river were thousands of foot soldiers, barely forming an array, and more than a dozen rows were lined up. After all, there are Dong Dalang's battle-hardened descendants as the backbone to be deployed there, and it took a lot of time, and finally there is a look, the first row of people are carrying large wooden stakes, the front is sharpened, and it can be inserted into the ground, as a temporary obstacle to prevent the enemy from galloping. Behind them, there were two rows of soldiers, all spears, and some simply sharpened wooden sticks, which were also standard equipment to prevent the enemy's cavalry conflict. Looking further back, it was a little unbearable, with all kinds of blades, bows and crossbows, knives, spears, hammers, and sticks, mixed together. No one knows what use it can be used in a fight, not to mention that these soldiers and horses are still put together, even if Dong Dalang's descendants are deployed, they may not be able to command in a unified manner, and they must rely on these more than 1,000 soldiers to form a solid formation, and people with a little experience in battle formations are not optimistic. I'm afraid that when the Song army cavalry makes an impact posture, they will have to collapse!

Ma Kuo stared at the rows of chaotic foot soldiers, frowned and said: "Dong Dalang is not a person who does not know soldiers, these more than 1,000 foot soldiers, in addition to being able to fill the number, it is great to spend a little more time on us to disperse them, and it is impossible to talk about consuming us, what kind of confusion did he make?" ”

Tang Huai and Yu Jiang beside him both shook their heads, and no one could understand why Dong Dalang wanted to drive such a group of foot soldiers into battle. Yu Jiang also sighed: "It's a pity that our troops are insufficient, and we have to wait for the army behind us to come up, and we can't be consumed lightly." Otherwise, cross this shallow river and go up to fight, and you can defeat them! ”

Ma Kuo snorted, and pointed to the phalanx composed of more than 300 horsemen lined up in the direction of Danzhou behind the side of the foot soldiers: "It's easy to kill the past, it's easy to disperse these rabble, if you entangle them for a while, Dong Dalang's capital over there will be taken out, and the outcome is unknown!" Let's wait and see what they do............"

As soon as he pointed at this, everyone's eyes were on the cavalry. Dong Dalang has brought more than 200 henchmen and descendants of Yanshan, almost all of them are his old brothers, and they are the backbone of his backbone. In this troubled era, as long as these backbones are there, anyway, human life is cheap, there is food, grass and blades, and a large army can be expanded at any time! These warriors of a hundred battles naturally had a very different bearing, and the silent Le Ma waited there without making a sound. Their team has also expanded slightly, and the heroes from all over the country have also gathered more than 100 horsemen to join, these cavalry troops are the most elite forces in the hands of the heroes from all over the country, after joining Dong Dalang's lineage, it is almost two people sandwiching one of them, and it is easy to dispatch, standing in the queue, learning from those old pawns, it seems to be a strong team.

Although these three hundred horsemen seem to be far inferior to the foot soldiers in the array, they can smell the killing aura across the Qidu River. This is the real enemy!

Yu Jiang just waited for Ma Kuo to refute this, maybe because he was the first officer of the Changsheng Army captured by Xiao Yan, and he was too impressed, so he actually sent him to be Tang Huai's deputy this time. He still understands the truth of the tree, as a descendant, you have to be a down-to-earth person, so that everyone thinks that there is no threat, in order to live a long-term life. With Tang Huai this time, there has been a lot of limelight, and it's time to say something stupid.

Ma Kuo said lightly, and he immediately closed his mouth contentedly. No one guessed what he was thinking, only Fang Teng glanced at him.

Ma Kuo didn't discuss with Tang Huai, knowing that this was a stuffy gourd, except for saving his brother-in-law, he would definitely not say anything more about other things. He only said at Fang Teng in confusion: "Could it be that Dong Dalang really wants to use these messy pawns to show weakness and arrogance to me?" Then lead us across the river to storm, so that he can use his most elite cavalry to storm us again? But he shouldn't have put these cavalry on such a clear display, who would be fooled? ”

Ma Kuo just fell into a deep groan there, and continued to ask: "He placed these cavalry troops close to the direction of the Danzhou Governor's Office, did he want to use these foot soldiers to entangle us, and they rushed straight to Danzhou?" Without attacking tools, the three hundred cavalry want to go down to Danzhou, isn't it a dream? Senator Fang, what does he Dong Dalang want to do? ”

Fang Teng looked into the distance steadily, looking at Dong Dalang's arrangement for a while, and looking at the people on the city wall of Danzhou who were waiting in the distance in a panic to divide the victory and decide their own fate.

After a long time, he replied in a low voice: "Dong Dalang is a ruthless person, I don't know what kind of experience can hone such an indomitable and ambitious guy!" If it weren't for him, this sky-falling accident might not have happened............ The Jurchen going south may not be the most terrifying, the most terrible thing is the Jurchen going south, and there is this guide who knows the inside of Yandi! Hate Yue Du Yuhou, in Yanshan, there is not a single shot to pick this guy............

Dong Dalang is the head snake here, and none of us know how capable he is here! But it is conceivable that he can gather such a rabble in just a few days............ We are not strong enough, far from enough to block and isolate the news inside and outside Danzhou, and I am not surprised if he has some arrangements inside Danzhou............ He waited here for a day and a night! No one knows what will happen in this Danzhou! We may all have overlooked the characters in the city of Danzhou! ”

Fang Teng's words made everyone gasp. Ma Kuo was shocked, and pointed to Qidu Hebei: "Since this is the case, then I will immediately order the soldiers and horses, rush over, and fight them in Hebei!" ”

Fang Teng shook his head slowly: "What we are waiting for is the favorable terrain of Qidu Henan, do you know that Dong Dalang really wants to attract us to cross the river and let us leave this favorable terrain?" When the time comes, it will not be them who will fight against the water, but us! And there are Jurchens behind Dong Dalang, and Xiao Xuanzan behind us, but no one in the two families knows when the other party's backup will arrive! Will the Jurchens be just behind, using Dong Dalang's entire army as bait to attract us to cross the river and seek battle, so as to defeat it in one fell swoop? We don't know where the Jurchens are, we only know that Xiao Xuanzan hasn't arrived yet! ”

Ma Kuo gave a hateful high-five: "That is to say, we seem to be waiting for work and taking the initiative, but in fact, it is the guy surnamed Dong who takes the initiative?" We just have to wait and see what tricks he can play? ”

Fang Teng nodded slowly.

Ma Kuo took a breath, said no more, stood on the watchtower, and looked back at the four hundred iron horsemen who were waiting silently in the camp.

These Great Song Jinghua Iron Cavalry, together with the Shenwu Changsheng Army that had only been incorporated for a long time. They all led the horses and waited in the array, waiting for an order to rush out at any time. Everyone didn't speak, just turned hundreds of glances at the commanders of the troops above the watchtower.

Morale, there is no doubt about it.

Since the Baigou River crossed to the north, the Great Song Dynasty Iron Cavalry, with the Shengjie Army and the Baiqi Soldiers as the backbone, naturally has the pride and pride of the most elite division of the Great Song Dynasty!

They will always stand in the fiercest and cruel places of the war, and they are led by invincible commanders who take the lead. What awaits them is bloody battles and one miracle after another!

Consciously or unconsciously, in the chest of this army, it naturally has the feeling that the security of the world depends on its own army. And the army sometimes, it has to rely on this kind of consciousness and morale to support!

The most important thing is that they firmly believe that Xiao Yan, who led them to create countless miracles, is on the way to come, ready to lead them at any time to create another miracle!

Look at the red tassels fluttering on these four hundred iron helmets. Ma Kuo smiled and turned to Fang Teng, Tang Huai, and Yujiang and a few people: "The time is not in me, the Jurchen is actually going south, the location is not in me, we are alone in a strange place in Danzhou, the opponent is Dong Dalang who knows the inside story here, and even the people are not in me, there are enemies everywhere here, but Dong Dalang is like a fish in water............ Then we can only rely on a war to keep this Danzhou, and we will rely on our Song army! Let's see what tricks Dong Dalang can play! ”

The horn sounded on the other side, and Dong Dalang's department, the thousands of foot soldiers, had already slowly started to cross the Henan River, coming layer by layer.

The Jurchen and Xiao Yan's troops fought in the outpost in Danzhou.

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

The first row of foot soldiers had already stepped into the icy waters of the Qidu River. These patchwork soldiers, battle formation experience, and battle formation discipline are naturally nothing to talk about. The equipment is also poor to a certain extent. It's just that when he walked from the place of the formation to the bank of the river, the formation was a little loose, so that Dong Dalang's descendants who were pressing the formation almost shouted out of their throats.

But these people who survived in the last days of the Great Liao are the group of people who take life and death the most lightly. Either their families are broken, or their relatives have died, and they are scattered all over the world, tossing and turning in ravines. Attached to the heroes in this troubled world, they worked for them and mixed up a few days' rations. They will die at any time in the fire and battle between the heroes and the powerful, and they will also die at any time in the harsh treatment of their own heroes. Countless people of the same kind died silently in this last day on the land of Youyan, although they are still alive until now, and they have been driven to such a battlefield, they do not have too much fear, just such a chaotic forward.

As for how long their lives can last, no one thinks too much about them.

The first row of soldiers carrying wooden stakes carried the wooden stakes were heavy, splashing patches of water, stepping on the silt and gravel at the bottom of the river, staggering forward.

The cavalry of the Song army has been patrolling on the south bank of the river, watching them set foot in the river, these cavalry of three or two, all took off their riding bows and fired arrows at them to harass and block.

A few of the first platoon soldiers were shot with arrows, and they were carried straight into the river with large logs. The others stepped over their corpses, and no one even looked at them. The foot soldier with the bow in the back also took off his bow and crossbow, raised it diagonally and forward, and passed the soldiers in front of him to return row after row of arrows.

The rain of arrows was chaotic, and these soldiers were not good marksmen, and they were no threat to the scattered cavalry. Occasionally, one of them hit the armor leaf they were wearing, and it only fell down with a clanging sound. On the contrary, these Song army's riding bows were very accurate, and every few arrows came over, and most of these were foot soldiers with only the sackcloth on their bodies as a cover, and they fell into the river, splashing a large cloud of water.

In the team, Dong Dalang's henchmen tried their best to control the rhythm of the team's progress and let them not become a mess. They were well armoured, and riding bows was not much of a threat to them. The own officers who commanded these foot soldiers were mostly the sons of local tyrants, either they had armor, or they simply helped them hold their shields, which was safe. One by one, they also shouted at the top of their voices: "Forward and forward!" Drove away these birdans who could only shoot arrows and snatched Danzhou down! As long as you can go down to the city, one is counted as one, you want food, you want wine, meat, wine, and meat, and you want money! If you are single, you will be given a daughter-in-law, and when the time comes, you will have another home! ”

The formation of more than 1,000 people filled the narrow Qidu River in an instant, and they trudged forward with difficulty in the river water that was less than their knees. There were constantly corpses floating down the river, and the cries of wounded soldiers occasionally sounded.

The Song army rode backwards to the side, and had already let go of the river bank and retreated step by step to the direction of their own camp. The first row of foot soldiers had already stepped onto the riverbank, they were all carrying wooden stakes, and they had already consumed a lot of body by struggling to come over, and for a while they breathed a little breath on the riverbank and slowed down. The officers in the back desperately urged them to move forward, and the people in the river also desperately wanted to squeeze onto the riverbank, and it was difficult to move in the river, so they felt psychologically safer to go ashore quickly.

The crowd was almost squeezed into a big lump in the Qidu River, and the original formation had been completely disrupted. All kinds of shouts and voices became a mess again. Crossing the river in front of the enemy and maintaining the formation is something that only a well-trained army can do, and it is really a fantasy for this rabble to be able to do it!

For any army, at this moment, it is the best opportunity to defeat the enemy in Bandu!

In the Song army camp, the junior officers who led the troops had already turned over their horses and looked at the banner in Ma Kuan's hand standing on the high platform. Yujiang Tang Huai also got off the high platform, they will be the first to lead the troops to rush out, Tang Huai looked at Ma Kuan's figure, and he was even more eager. The sooner you defeat the enemy here, the sooner you can save Yue Fei!

Ma Kuo's eyes were staring at the three hundred cavalry troops who were still motionless on the north bank of the river. Crossing the river on foot, there is no need to worry. What really needs to be defeated is the main force of Dong Dalang's department! As usual, they should also move forward now, maintaining the posture of crossing the river in front of the enemy with foot soldiers, and if the Song army charged towards the foot soldiers, they could also immediately meet them, and the two sides started a main battle.

But these cavalry soldiers have never moved like a mountain, and Dong Dalang's figure is standing in front of these cavalry formations. just looked at it coldly, and the distance between the cavalry and his foot soldiers had been stretched quite wide. It's not something that can be picked up all at once.

If Dong Dalang adopts a normal way of fighting, Ma Kuo actually doesn't care about putting these rabble foot soldiers ashore, what he really wants to fight is when these cavalry troops are halfway ashore! Anyway, these foot soldiers may not be able to form a powerful phalanx for a while and a half, and they can cover these cavalry troops to cross the river. If Dong Dalang's cavalry maintained a normal distance from these foot soldiers, Ma Kuo believed that he would have enough time to break these foot soldiers and maintain enough momentum to attack the follow-up cavalry in Bandu!

But Dong Dalang didn't have the slightest intention of supporting these river-crossing soldiers! Did he also know that if his cavalry kept a normal distance from the foot soldiers, even if these patchwork foot soldiers crossed the river, it would be impossible to use this time to form a formation that could cover their crossing of the river, so he simply waited until these foot soldiers crossed the river, and the formation was completed, and they could effectively cover them, and then they would wave their troops across the river?

Isn't that stupid? Dong Dalang's current advantage is that he has more patchwork infantry than Ma Kuo and them. No matter how unbearable these horses are, they are still strength. Even if he Dong Dalang fights step by step, what's the matter? The two sides will fight, and the outcome is unknown, even if they are inferior, they still have the strength to fight. Now that they can't answer the trouble, they leave a chance for Ma Kuo and them to break it separately!

Could it be that these chaotic infantry troops in front of them turned out to be a rare strong army, which could not only meet the impact of the Song army, but also entangle them to the death, so that Dong Dalang's main force would come up and break the Song army instead?

What a joke!

Ma Kuo looked at Fang Teng beside him, it wasn't that he wanted to ask for Fang Teng's opinion at this time. In battle, the people who fight for the general naturally have their own successes, and they will not waver. However, Dong Dalang's behavior was too strange, and Ma Kuo had a trace of doubt in his heart that was always difficult to ignore.

Fang Teng shook his head, although he had walked through Gubeikou, he was actually just staying, and today was the first time he was in the middle of a real sword and real gun battle. He actually laughed at this moment: "Ma Xuanzan, no matter how much you guess, it's useless, just go up, see what tricks Dong Dalang has, and then deal with it!" ”

Ma Kuo nodded slightly, and ordered loudly: "Commander Yu, lead the men and horses of the headquarters, and attack the enemy's infantry in Bandu!" Tang Yuhou, the commander of the victory after the palace, keep an eye on the movement of Dong Dalang's cavalry! I'll be in the back, and I'll put you in battle! ”

As he gave the order loudly, the flag in his hand was also waved down, pointing at Dong Dalang's foot soldiers who were halfway across the Qidu River!

Yu Jiang rode on horseback and saluted Tang Huai: "Tang Yuhou, I'll go down and fight first." Trouble Tang Yuhou to stare at the point, don't let Dong Dalang copy my ass! ”

Tang Huai didn't speak, just nodded solemnly.

Yu Jiang stretched out the horse lance in his hand and greeted loudly: "Brothers, after eating the grain and salary of the Zhao official family, becoming a Song person, and following Xiao Xuanzan, this is the first time we have fought, and it is time for us to show our skills!" It's enough to live in chaos, and now we have a country behind us! After this battle, go home and farm and enjoy the blessings! All into the mother's death in bed! ”

The gate of the Song military camp has been opened, and the light cavalry of the two hundred Shenwu Changsheng Army has suddenly roared out under the leadership of Yujiang!

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

Dong Dalang stood in front of the three hundred cavalry, his face was like a piece of ice, and he stared at the front of him expressionlessly. Song Jun's movements, every move, he watched it.

My Dong Dalang's bad luck should also come to an end? I just want to get ahead in this troubled world, why is it so difficult!

He suppressed the urge to take off his helmet, and on the helmet, there were traces of Yue Fei's shot, and there was a deep scratch on the iron-cast helmet!

In the past few days, in his little sleep, he often wakes up from that shot. It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to get ahead, and I will die in obscurity before I soar into the sky!

The place where the foot soldiers crossed the river was close to the Song military camp and far away from the city of Danzhou. The cavalry he led was between the cities of Danzhou where the foot soldiers crossed the river.

Where the Qidu River infantry crossed the river, an irrepressible exclamation suddenly erupted. Looking up, the Song army camp on the opposite bank has been opened, and hundreds of armored iron horsemen have rushed out like a flash flood!

Iron cavalry is like a cloud, these cavalry are armed to the teeth, the top of the helmet is fluttering red, and the armor leaves on the body reflect the sun. In the Qidu River, although those foot soldiers were lighter than life and death, they still let out a terrified shout in the face of such a dazzling army of light!

Even in the city of Danzhou, there are exclamations from afar!

Although they were far away, at this moment, Dong Dalang could actually recognize that the soldiers and horses that rushed down were all soldiers of the original victorious army. Over the years in the Changsheng Army, he has always been a corporal with a good salute, and he has no fight, and he is very familiar with these soldiers. Just by looking at the figure and the posture immediately, you can almost tell it. These horses, he originally thought that he was the capital that he started in this troubled world, but now, they have all become Xiao Yan's belongings!

At this moment, Dong Dalang gritted his teeth violently. The man's husband, no matter how many times he has been defeated by this thief, as long as there is a breath in his chest, he can only move forward!

Here, let's fight with this thief again!

He also raised his hand violently, and the cavalry behind him, with his movements, suddenly moved forward together, slowly facing the direction of the infantry crossing the river. Dong Dalang had already pulled out the iron wedge on his waist and pointed straight in the direction that Song Jun was rushing in!

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

"Dong Dalang moved!"

On the high platform, Ma Kuo suddenly shouted, he turned his head sharply and looked at Tang Huai, who was waiting under the high platform. Dong Dalang still used foot soldiers to entangle his cavalry, and then he went up to share the plan of life and death! Since this is the case, you can't divide your own soldiers and horses into two ways, you should take out all your strength at once, defeat these foot soldiers as much as possible, and then fight Dong Dalang to the death!

Dong Dalang gave him such a chance to break through the points, he couldn't miss it!

Yujiang's department is still rushing out of the camp, and the Shengjie army is also panting under the leadership of Tang Huai, no matter when, when the iron cavalry is impacting, it is the most blood-pumping person in it, and the Shengjie army has always been a striker under Xiao Yan, how can the Shenwu Changsheng army steal the limelight!

Fang Teng beside him grabbed Ma Kuo's arm violently, and Ma Kuo had a lot of strength, which caused Fang Teng to stagger and stumble a few steps with his movements.

"Ma Xuanzan, Dong Dalang is not a person who doesn't know soldiers! It's better to wait a little longer! ”

Ma Kuo was stunned, and almost shouted out at Fang Teng: "Senator Fang, when facing the enemy, the fighter plane is fleeting, you must not be scholarly!" I have my own decision! ”

Fang Teng also met Ma Kuo's gaze without giving in: "Wait a minute, take a look!" Dong Dalang is not such an incompetent person as Meng Lang! ”

Ma Kuo shook off Fang Teng's hand violently: "Then Dong Dalang was not beaten miserably by Yue Pengju!" On the same day, he was driven to the Jurchen by Xiao Xuanzan! He gave me every chance to break through, but I couldn't show the same flaws to him! Here is military, but it depends on my decision! ”

Fang Teng was stunned, and finally let go of his hand. Ma Kuo glanced at him coldly, and yelled at Tang Huai: "After following Commander Yu, rush over and share life and death with Dong Dalang!" ”

The Shengjie army at the bottom responded violently, Ma Kuo didn't take the steps anymore, jumped down from the high platform, and the people next to him had already handed over the reins, Ma Kuo took it, turned over on the horse, and took out the horse lance on the saddle fork. This is Yu Jiang's subordinates have completely rushed out of the camp, and only the sound of rumbling horses' hooves in front of them can be heard. Ma Kuo looked at Fang Teng, who was standing motionless on the high platform, took a breath and ordered again: "Leave twenty cavalry guards to guard the Senate, and the rest of the soldiers will follow me forward!" Let Qidu River become the place where Dong Dalang is buried! ”

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

The hooves of the horses on both sides were like thunder, and they all came towards the place where the hedgehogs of the Qidu River infantry gathered. The difference is that the Song army is attacking with all its might, and the farther away, Dong Dalang's department began to speed up. The war horse turned from a slow step to an attacking step.

Song Jun here, almost everyone is paying attention to the movements of Dong Dalang's department, seeing that he has finally begun to speed up, and here they can't wait to put their crotch mounts and plug in a pair of wings!

The foot soldiers in the middle of the Qidu River are now completely in chaos. These patchwork pawns really don't care so much about life and death, and they are also confused about the battle array. The powerful officers in those places were told that they would be supported by cavalry at any time, but they couldn't even judge the distance on the battlefield. I couldn't tell Dong Dalang's cavalry at all, and in fact, I couldn't reinforce them in time.

But when the iron cavalry of the Song army on the opposite side surged like a torrent, they would still be afraid and chaotic about this irresistible force. Because I don't know how to deal with it!

The impact of the army and the fight between the powerful are completely different things. Although the weapon fight is melee, it may be bloodier and more cruel. But the impact of the army, this momentum of strict rectification and killing, can completely deprive people of their will to resist from the beginning, even if they take life and death lightly!

Everyone was shouting meaninglessly, and the powerful men were the first to lose their helmets and shields and blades and turn around and run, huddled together with the soldiers who were still rushing forward. Dong Dalang's subordinates were still shouting for them to gain a foothold and try to resist, but no one listened to them. However, these soldiers were so panicked that they didn't even know the direction of escape. East, west, north and south, are all over the river and bumping around.

Yu Jiang took the lead, brandishing his horse lance and crashing straight into the formation, and in the last step, he pushed the hind legs of his mount under his crotch hard, almost flying into the pile of foot soldiers who had panicked to the extreme. The heavy momentum knocked three or two people away at once.

The Shengjie army and the Shenwu Changsheng army were both light cavalry, and it stands to reason that they should sweep over the two wings of the infantry army's formation, use bows and crossbows, and attack and weaken the opponent with long blades. However, the opponent in front of him was really unbearable, and he did not form a complete front at all, and his equipment was far from that of these light horsemen. Compared with them, these light cavalry of the Song army are out-and-out heavy cavalry.

This strategy of crashing into it was also set before the war, which was to drive these foot soldiers to collapse immediately, let them turn around and face the direction of Dong Dalang's cavalry, and disrupt Dong Dalang's array. This is also the only way to charge the formation of heavy cavalry, with the front rout to disrupt the rear line, one by one, until the opponent's line is completely defeated. Ma Kuo is a veteran of cavalry warfare from the Western Army, and all cavalry tactics are proficient.

This is the right choice to use light riding as a heavy ride, at least for now!

Behind Yu Jiang, countless Shenwu Changsheng troops followed him and jumped into the lineup of Dong Dalang's infantry army, and those who dared to meet in front of the horse were all trampled down and cut down, and a large number of hula fell in front, and only then did a scream and shout break out in a toneless tone!

In an instant, the iron horse rushed into the Qidu River, and all around him was the sound of blades entering flesh or corpses pouring into the river. In an instant, blood gushed out, and the horses' hooves splashed the mud from the bottom of the river, and when mixed with the blood, it turned purple and black. Screams were heard everywhere, and people who tried to kneel down in the river and beg to surrender could only be trampled into pulp in this situation. More than 1,000 foot soldiers, no ability to resist. In the Qidu River, the water splashed everywhere, and the people and horses were already bloodstained in an instant. The person who had not yet been frightened turned around and ran backwards, and the person behind pushed the person in front, and countless pairs of feet immediately stepped on. In the water, you can't even make the sound of dying screams!

At this time, Dong Dalang's old pawn saw the ability, threw the helmet blade, and ran backwards quickly! They rushed to the river bank first, leading a large group of defeated soldiers in the direction of Dong Dalang.

Yu Jiang, who was chasing and killing these routs, was already covered in blood, holding a horse lance and shouting: "Force them to retreat towards Dong Dalang, force them to retreat towards Dong Dalang!" ”

Ma Kuo led the Shengjie army led by Tang Huai, and it had also been accelerated, Ma Kuo was staring at Dong Dalang's every move, and when the infantry in the river was shocked and collapsed, Dong Dalang's cavalry was still quite far away from these infantry soldiers! Seeing that Yu Jiang's department had already chased the rout to cross the river, and these rout soldiers also faced the direction that Dong Dalang pounced on, as expected, Ma Kuo finally put aside a qiē uneasiness, crossed Tang Huai beside him, held the horse lance, and took the lead in stepping into the Qidu River, and the Shengjie army followed in the back, the horse's hooves were chaotic, splashing the red river, and in an instant, he had set foot on the north bank of the Qidu River!

Defeat Dong Dalang, maybe it's right in front of you!

And at this time, Dong Dalang turned the horse's head violently, and the cavalry behind him also moved at the same time, they completely turned in one direction, and at the same time that the horse expanded and rushed across the Qidu River, Dong Dalang also jumped into the middle of the horse river, and the iron cavalry behind him also turned to the direction of Danzhou!

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

The current keeper of Danzhou is none other than the famous Wang Yasha among the Yanshan thieves back then.

He was recruited almost at the same time as Dong Clown, and Dong Clown's department was organized into a resentful army, while Wang Yasha became the defense envoy of Danzhou because of the strength of Danzhou Zhizhou.

Compared with the hungry people who formed an army and became the head of the field camp, they were dispatched to fight in the east and west, and the resentful army was killed and wounded. Become a state and county defense envoy, and lead the headquarters to enjoy the blessings of the state and county soldiers in the big county, which is naturally heaven and earth. Wang Yasha, who has been displaced for half his life, has this good thing, and naturally has no place for Danzhou Zhizhou, and has always spared no effort in destroying thieves and suppressing Haoqiang for Danzhou in recent years. And the Liao Nanjing Dao Shouchen was also very kind to such an obedient Zhao'an thief. In the last days of the Liao people, these outcasts and thieves in Zhao'an, who suddenly surrendered and rebelled, mutiny, had long become a common thing, and the appearance of such an outlier as Wang Yasha naturally continued to increase his official ranks.

The people of Danzhou are also fun, and they are also interested in reading Wang Yasha for the Buddha of ten thousand families, and those who set up immortal tablets also abound.

Wang Yasha has been displaced for half his life, how can he have received such treatment! He even changed his mind, and asked Su Confucianism to teach him to read and write, so that he should concentrate on being a vassal in this last days, at least to maintain the peace of the rule.

The rule of the Liao finally collapsed between the Great Song and the Jurchens. When the news of the fall of Zhuoyi Erzhou came, the Liao people abandoned the city and left, Wang Yasha was also very hesitant, but he blocked the official office for the people of Danzhou to cry and worship on the way, and begged Wang Buddha to protect the people under his rule to the end.

In the end, Wang Yasha readily agreed, collecting as much savings as possible while collecting the homeless. Repair the city's defenses, defeat the approaching thieves, and suppress the powerful who are ready to move. In this area between the collapse of the sky and the earth, the peace of Danzhou was maintained. Most of the people around him moved here to take refuge under King Yasha. There are many people in the countryside who come with their families.

Under the rule of this former Yanshan thief, Danzhou turned out to be a place to avoid Qin for a while!

In this last world, the world is changing, and the former bandits have become the living Buddha of the people of the country, which is really unexpected. Danzhou has become the border land of Youyan, where the most abundant reserves and the least harassment are located. Wang Yasha also tried his best to maintain this situation. It seems that he wants to do the best of this qiē, and he is also extremely strict with his subordinates, and those who harass the people will be sentenced to death. He was not in the official office all day, but he set up a bunk on the arrow tower above the city wall, and he took his relatives to inspect the city pass countless times every day.

In his opinion, it is already his greatest expectation that this life can end with such merits.

Between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jurchens, Wang Yasha also released a rumor. The Great Song Dynasty has arrived at the Gaoliang River, and it seems that the recovery of Yanyun is just around the corner. Most of us are Han people, and it has been more than 100 years under the rule of the Great Liao, and now that the Great Liao has collapsed, it is natural to return to the rule of the Song people. After all, there is still a court there, a ruling system, if it is under the rule of the Jurchens, now Liaodong, may be an example. The Jurchens did not have the means to effectively rule their vast territory, and most of the regions were still dominated by the powerful people in various places who accepted the name of the Jurchens, attacked each other, annexed each other's forces, and worked hard to get ahead in this troubled era. In the end, the Jurchen probably chose the strongest one to really co-opt.

This generation, if you vote for Jurchen, is a paradise for careerists. And investing in the Great Song Dynasty may at least be able to save the lives of the people.

The news of the Jurchen breach also came. Let the original plan to wait for the arrival of the Great Song Dynasty army, he will open the city and hand over a qiē, he is Xiao Nan, and Wang Yasha, who is looking for a random place to die, is nervous again, the Jurchen is strong, and the world knows it. If they surrender rashly, if the Jurchens defeat the Song army and open Danzhou again, wouldn't it be hell on earth!

When Tang Huai and the others arrived near the left of Danzhou, Wang Yasha chose to close the city and defend it, but he also showed a certain amount of goodwill, and provided considerable food and grass for the soldiers and horses of the Song army who came from afar and did not carry much baggage. The Song army was not far from the city, and the village should not have been seen.

The fate of a city of creatures is tied to him, and at this moment, he has to be more cautious!

The number of times King Yasha patrols the city every day has increased several times. In the past two nights, he was at the head of the city, watching the lights of the Song army camp, and watching Dong Dalang's troops gradually arrive at Qidu Hebei. He looked far away from south to north countless times, wanting to see whose follow-up reinforcements would arrive first.

The military situation continued to come one after another as the refugees entered the city, and Wang Yasha gradually figured out that there were not many broken Jurchens. There were still Jurchen soldiers and horses at Gubeikou who were blockaded by sentinels, and there was no Jurchen brigade coming from there. The one who led the troops to the other side of the river was only the soldiers and horses led by Dong Dalang, the son of the acquaintance Dong Clown. The Youyan border land has been swept and looted by the few Jurchen soldiers and horses under the leadership of Dong Dalang.

There were not many Jurchen soldiers and horses, but the Song army did not give an inch. Gubeikou was guarded by the Song army in the early stage, and now it may still be blocked there to fight to the death. And now, they arrived in Danzhou Zuojin one step ahead of Dong Dalang! The Song army seems to be bound to win the entire Youyan Land! Since Song Jun is so willing, what else do he have to think about?

Wang Yasha has already revealed to his subordinates that as long as the Song army repels Dong Dalang's troops in this battle, they will surrender to the south of the city! In addition, he instructed his subordinates to count their accounts, check their savings, and not lack any money or anything, and the people should be more loving, and when the time comes, they will be handed over cleanly and leave.

He sighed to his subordinates: "Half of his life is a thief, but when he comes, he protects the people and lives his life." The wonder of the number of fates, the number of days? The brothers have fulfilled me, that is, they have fulfilled themselves, in this world, life and death are uncertain things, only to seek an inner peace, no better than anything else! ”

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

When the Song army and Dong Dalang's troops were under the city of Danzhou, they finally started a somewhat strange battle. This bizarre king of troubled times was at the head of the city, watching the battle with bated breath.

Seeing that Dong Dalang's troops were out of touch, he just shook his head and sighed: "The son of the old man is so unsuccessful!" When the soldiers are in battle, are there any soldiers who use them like this? Isn't this burying his own foot soldiers, and then going up the cavalry and letting the Song people beat them one by one? There is no need to watch this battle, the Song people are a little more angry, and it is better for Dong Dalang to turn around and escape............ Looking at it in the past two days, these hundreds of Song riders are also the best soldiers in the world! ”

Yu Jiang Yuema took the lead in rushing out, leading the Shenwu Changsheng Army to step into the infantry formation of Dong Dalang's troops, and killed a river of blood in the Qidu River. And the Shengjie army led by Ma Kuo Tang Huai followed closely behind, almost from end to end. The cavalry of the Song Army, the main force has been completely concentrated, Dong Dalang's foot soldiers have become a trend of collapse, and Dong Dalang's cavalry is still far away from the battlefield, but closer to Danzhou City!

Wang Yasha held the battlement with both hands, slapped it heavily, and said with a smile: "Defeat, defeat!" Dong Dalang has no power to return to heaven! Brothers, prepare to open the city, and the reward of cattle wine is also ready, the Song people are the lords of this city, and it is better to sell it first, than anything else............ Go get ready! ”

He suddenly felt a cold in his waist, followed by a pain, and subconsciously reached out to touch it, and felt a cold blade inserted into his waist. Wang Yasha turned his head in surprise, and saw several of his henchmen and generals looking at him with sneers on their faces. One of them was the closest one, holding the cold sword that was inserted into his waist.

Behind him, the guards also looked at this qiē in surprise, and one of the guards blurted out: "Take care of ............" The sword-wielding general had already said coldly: "Do it!" ”

Countless people suddenly rushed up, swords raised together, and right next to Wang Yasha, they cut several of his personal guards into pulp!

"Why is that?"

Wang Yasha's stout body still couldn't fall down, staring at the people in front of him and shouting.

"It's your own ignorance! In such a troubled world, we don't want to end up here! The wealth of the children in the city, but you protect it, and you want to hand it over to the Song people! I forgot what we relied on to get to where we are today! You have to be a good person, and go to Huangquan to do it, but we want to get ahead in this troubled world! This Danzhou, leave it to you, it's better to give it to us! ”

Wang Yasha smiled bitterly, roared violently, and actually broke the long sword on his waist with his hand! He then pulled the tip of his sword from his waist and grabbed the man's neck, raising his hand to plunge the tip of the sword into it. The people next to him were shocked by Wang Yasha's shouting, and when they reacted, they were too late to rescue.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yasha didn't insert it, but lost the tip of the sword, and said with a wry smile: "Could it be that I was really wrong, this day, it should have collapsed!" No one can save ............ I'm waiting for you in Huangquan! ”

Before he could finish speaking, the people around him had already rushed up, and one of them was holding a long knife and swung it down fiercely. Wang Yasha's head suddenly rose to the sky, and his eyes were still wide open. The blood was full of blood, spraying these generals all over blood. Someone had already grabbed the head of the king and shouted, "The king is dead!" Open the city, welcome Dong Dalang into the city! Kill the Song army back! ”

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

It is less than twenty miles north of the Qidu River.

Hundreds of Jurchen soldiers and horses, scattered on the grass, lying or sitting, and also lit bonfires, leisurely cooking. Many young knights sat on their horses with their legs crossed, their hands behind their heads, and they were half-lying on horseback. Nor do they restrain their mounts, but follow them as they pit on.

The three Jurchen Mouk, also Le Ma in a slightly higher place. However, there is no high enough place here. Although the weather was excellent, there was no sight of the Qidu River.

In the wind, there was a faint sound of nothingness, and I listened attentively, but there was nothing.

Hu Duo snorted and grinned: "It seems to smell of bloodshed, Dong Dalang, has he finally started fighting?" ”

Lahoma sneered: "Sent sentinels to check on our movements again and again, hoping that our Jurchen athletes will fight for him!" If it weren't for the sect's blockade, I wouldn't have swept these guys clean first! ”

Zong Shi also sat on his horse with his legs crossed, listening intently to the movement in the distance. At this time, he clapped his hands and laughed: "What else to say?" It's almost time for us to be a Jurchen athlete, a good Danzhou, is it really for Dong Dalang? Go, go slowly, and when you arrive, you can almost clean up the remnants of the Song people............ I hope these southerners will be more angry and take Dong Dalang's life, and when the time comes, I can let them live! ”

Both the Duoduo and the Lahe horses shouted loudly, and rode on horseback and whistled. The Jurchen knights, who were originally lazy, suddenly moved when they heard the sound, and one by one they were elated, shouting at the three Mouke: "Zongshi, Duoduo, Lahema, take us up!" Even if Dong Dalang goes to Danzhou first, we will pull him out! This world is a hunting ground for our female reals! ”(! )
