Chapter 149: A Powerful Enemy Emerges
The enemy was sour and weak by his whole army, and his heart was anxious and afraid, where could he still answer.
Yang Zaixing put him horizontally on himself, and continued to chase and fight, under the iron spear, it was inevitable that more than ten or twenty more lives were added, and half an hour passed, this small battle was completely over, he turned around, hundreds of dangerous cavalry chased behind him, everyone was full of excitement, all the soldiers talked and laughed happily, and told about the war. Behind them, hundreds of enemy soldiers knelt on the ground and asked to surrender, and the dead bodies were lying on their stomachs or lying on their stomachs, and a stream of bloody gas spread out, and there were already flies smelling the fish, flying around the corpses.
Yang Zaixing knew that this was just a detachment of the enemy stationed outside the town, and it was not sophisticated, and the number was not large, and it was not surprising that it was quickly crossed.
The generals around him are all fierce generals on the battlefield, and they are extremely experienced in combat, although the other party reacts very much at this time, everyone is not flustered, but they are just stationed on their horses, while observing the movement in the town, while drinking water and resting their spirits, and ordering people to interrogate the prisoners, understand the details, and many steps are in order, and there is no need for Yang Zaixing to give more orders.
After delaying the tea effort, Yang Zaixing realized that he had defeated the soldiers and horses under the command of Yingchang's rear army, killing more than 500 people, capturing more than 300 people, and hundreds of people fled into the town, and they didn't have time to catch up.
And the commander was full of himself, and he was also captured by Yang Zaixing himself, and at this time he was tied up like a zongzi and couldn't move.
Officers of this level naturally had to be brought back to the battalion and handed over to the commander in chief, and most of the rest of the captured soldiers were ordinary soldiers.
Before Yang Zaixing thought about it. Wang Lan and other generals had already ordered, dozens of soldiers jumped off their horses, came to the side of the prisoners, raised their knives and fell, screaming again and again, in a moment, hundreds of prisoners had already cut off one hand, some of them struggled to resist or wanted to escape. He was slashed to death.
Yang Zaixing was in danger for the first time, and it was the first time he saw such a way of dealing with prisoners, and he was shocked.
When Wang Lan saw his expression, she smiled and said: "This is the rule in our army, in fact, the rest of the armies also deal with it like this when they encounter such a situation. These people have defected to the enemy, and we can't take them, and if we don't give a little punishment, who will be afraid in the future? One returned to his hometown without hands, and a thousand people were killed and did not dare to join the army to fight with the golden dog. Yang Zaixing knows that he is reasonable. Just watched the captives wail and scream. But he was always sad in his heart, and he said, "After these people go home, they can't farm and plow." Isn't it the same as putting them to death? But he replied lightly: "Reasonable, next time it will be dealt with generally." While he agreed, he summoned the generals, looked at the smoke and dust in the town, and said to everyone: "I think there are still two or three thousand people in this town, should we leave here, or kill him for a while?" "Naturally, I will kill him for a while, only two or three thousand people, where are you afraid of him?" "There is no problem with one enemy and ten enemies." Leave everyone gossiping. Yang Zaixing knew that there were two or three thousand people in the puppet Qi, and there was no problem with the back army, the last time Yue Yun's three hundred people fell into the enemy formation, one was that the other party had five or six thousand people, and the other was the elite that Li Cheng had raised for many years. Don't be afraid.
Under the next order, while the enemy soldiers in the town have not yet assembled and finished the formation, three hundred back troops under the leadership of Yang Zaixing and others, rushed straight into the town, rushed back and forth to kill, from noon, until the sun waned, thousands of enemy soldiers inside and outside the town were beaten by these hundreds of cavalry, holding their heads and running around, they could not resist at all, and in the evening, seeing that the sky was about to be dark, it was not conducive to the cavalry to rush and kill, Yang Zaixing commanded the knights, slowly withdrew from the town, and went in the direction of Kaifeng.
Later, the results of the battle were calculated, in addition to killing hundreds of people during the day, capturing hundreds, and capturing the army after the capture of the army, and then beheaded Yingchang to pacify the division to control Bei Houte, and pacified Zhang to flee in the wilderness, and he could not form an army, and he did not dare to resist at all, roughly calculated, the enemy army killed that day was more than 1,000, and more than 3,000 enemy troops were dispersed and wounded.
After fighting for a day during the day, although the soldiers were extremely elite, they were also exhausted, and the horsepower was difficult to support, on the surface, after the small cavalry team went out of the town, they galloped towards the direction of Kaifeng, and saw that the pseudo-Qi soldiers also hurriedly called the police in the direction of Kaifeng, and in fact, Yang Zaixing took his subordinates to hide and rest for a day and a night in the grassy wasteland near Zhuxian Town, and in the evening of the third day, it was already the first day of May. Continue to run in the direction of Kaifeng.
The reason why he set out in the evening, hurried in the middle of the night, and only appeared in the enemy territory during the day was also a deliberate decision. Although the battle during the day is to face the danger of being calmly counterattacked by the enemy, it is more conducive to the assembly of cavalry, rushing, and even retreating and escaping, and rushing in the middle of the night and suddenly launching an attack during the day also makes the enemy unable to calmly dispatch troops and arrange pursuers, so that the danger is minimized.
The day before yesterday, Zhu Xian's first battle not only made the whole army high-spirited, but also made Yang Zaixing's prestige in the army greatly increased, everyone is not blind, when the school competition can still say that they want to keep their hands, they can't tell who is high and who is low, when they get to the battlefield, everyone is between life and death, who can keep their hands again? Naturally, they all tried their best to fight with the enemy, and when the conditions were equal, Yang Zaixing's bravery was naturally seen by everyone, and no one was unconvinced. In this way, when he gave the general's order, it was much smoother than in the past, and the soldiers in danger were all rough and upright men, and the disobedience was written on their faces, but the words were written in their hearts, as long as they approved it, they would sell their lives for the general, and they had no doubts. With such a group of siblings rushing to kill, Yang Zaixing was very happy in his heart, and he was also full of confidence in this mission.
On the second day of the fifth month, when I arrived in Chenliu County, Kaifeng, I occasionally saw the puppet Qi detective cavalry along the way, and when I saw the cavalry of the Song army, I fled in the wind and did not dare to fight at all. After entering the realm of Chen Liu, it is not far from Kaifeng City, so they are all looking, through the blue and white sky, as if they can see the gray-black brick wall, standing majestically on the ground not far away, the thought of being able to restore the old capital, everyone is excited, can not help themselves.
At noon, outside a small town to rest, there is no garrison in the town, the people in the town do not avoid suspicion, the old folks cook rice and serve tea, reward the only Song army that has left the nearest place in the closed city in the past few years, everyone drinks water and eats at the same time, Yang Zaixing inquired about the enemy's situation, knowing that the pseudo-Qi up and down but seeking to hold Kaifeng, do not dare to waste troops in the outside towns or counties, and the military situation is so tense that even normal official affairs can not be maintained, and it is about to be harvested in the summer, in previous years, officials at all levels have long been ready to urge the people to complete the grain and pay taxes, All kinds of persecution and abuse, and at this time this year, most of the officials of all sizes fled to Kaifeng City for temporary refuge, and those officials who usually punished the tiger also fled and hid, and did not dare to run rampant anymore.
Kaifeng according to the administrative and geographical division of the Song Dynasty, under the management of more than ten counties, the radius is extremely wide, and the real city center, only Kaifeng and Xiangfu two counties, Chen Liu has been close to the city, although Yang Zaixing knows that the enemy does not dare to come out, considering that the enemy army in the city still gathered more than 100,000 people, there may be a lot of cavalry, their own team of soldiers and horses, just used for reconnaissance, do not need to suffer unnecessary losses, see that there is nothing here, but do not dare to slack off, when even if most of the cavalry is still resting on the spot, he plans to bring a small number of cavalry, Go to the vicinity of Kaifeng City to find out the enemy's situation.
It's just that he is the main general, how can the rest of the generals let him personally take risks, as soon as the decision comes out, everyone will oppose it, if according to Yang Zaixing's temper in the past, he will naturally still go by himself, but at this time today, he also knows that he is burdened with heavy responsibilities, and he can not easily afford to lose, so he discussed with the generals at the moment, and decided to send the general Wang Gang to lead fifty horsemen to reconnoitre.
Yang Zaixing could not be completely relieved when he sent out Youge scouts, and according to the radius of twenty miles, he sent more than ten horsemen to reconnoiter in turn, so as to discover the enemy's situation when a large number of enemies approached.
The time it took for Wang Gang to go here was very short, but in just over an hour, he had already returned with more than fifty horsemen.
Yang Zaixing's eyesight is very good, and he saw that the first few horsemen were all in armor and blood, and then looked at the horses behind him, and the arms wrapped in gauze, he was vigilant, knowing that he must have encountered a strong enemy, otherwise this knight with a dangerous back would not even clean up his body, and he would come back in a hurry.
Immediately ordered all the soldiers to immediately get on their horses, ready to meet the enemy, he and a few generals fought horses to meet the front, and when Wang Gang got closer, Yang Zaixing asked urgently: "How is the enemy situation, how many soldiers and horses have been dispatched?" But it is no wonder that he was anxious, the soldiers of the back danger army were not only brave and invincible, but also first-class alert, which could make them rush back, and the enemy must have sent a large number of cavalry to do so.
Wang Gang was not as anxious as him, and when he saw his colleagues greet him, his face was full of excitement, and he first saluted Yang Zaixing, and then laughed: "I picked up the color head today, I'm really happy!" ”
Seeing that everyone was confused, Wang Gang said: "Shicai also ran for more than ten miles, but he happened to meet a group of golden cavalry, about fifty or sixty people, as soon as he saw us, he came to kill us." ”
