Chapter 189: A Strange Place
Canglan is the capital of the Donghu Kingdom. The capture of this city will end the battle of Donghu.
Yang Qi made a quick decision, picked up a pen and wrote a simple reply, ordering the whole army to march towards Canglan. And he gave the epistle to the messenger and brought it back.
Canglan City is located on the west bank of the Red River, surrounded by a vast plain, except for the Red River in the northeast, there is no danger to defend for a hundred miles!
He now has exactly 5,000 elite cavalry in his hands, and he is already ready to go. Originally, they were going to deal with the reinforcements of the Donghu Army in Xishan, but they could be mobilized immediately.
However, the Taungoo army suffered a devastating blow in the city of Wabang, and it was difficult to mobilize heavy troops for a while. There is no need to rush others at all, and soon the plenary will come to the vicissitudes...... What's more, in the wilderness on all sides near Canglan, who can stop Yang Qi's cavalry?
Yang Qi slapped his palm on the picture and said, "Send Zhang Yan to see you." Ordered the camp of the West Mountain to ride and pull out the camp immediately! ”
"Order!"
After a while, there was a sound of armor "clanging" outside the door, Zhang Yan walked to the door of the tile house, he handed the sword to the guards, strode in and saluted: "The last general is ordered to come and meet King Cheng!" ”
Yang Qi took out a gold seal, sighed a few times, covered it on the undried paper, and said: "Adjust the cavalry of General Zhang's headquarters in Wabang City to the west to meet the main force of Canglan!" ”
Zhang Yan hugged his fists and said: "The last general will be ordered!" ”
Yang Qi led the cavalry out eastward, and it was not yet noon when the cavalry left the camp.
The Xishan garrison was only more than 100 miles away from Canglan City, and the cavalry approached the southeast of Canglan City along the plain road.
In a barracks, the Donghu soldiers and horses in the distance slowly retreated, and successively arranged in the direction of the Cheng army, as if they were going to meet the Cheng army. They have a large number of infantry, and now they may not be able to run away if they want to. In addition, there are actually cavalry?
The cavalry of the Donghu army was very short, but it was still cavalry. Yang Qi watched for a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately turned his horse's head and shouted, "Prepare to attack, end the battle before dark." ”
Yang Qi returned to the army with a squad of cavalry, made a simple deployment, and saved tactics. Only the two light cavalry in the forward rushed to the two flanks of the enemy, and after shooting with their bows, they immediately went around to the sides and took over the barracks that the Donghu army had withdrawn.
He took a long-handled saber from Zhao Ping's hand and tied it to his back, and then took the iron shield and spear. The bow and crossbow of the Donghu army were relatively sharp, and Yang Qi was wearing three layers of armor and took a pair of shields.
Yang Qi raised the cherry spear and waved it forward.
"Kill!" One of the generals shouted and took the lead in leading the troops to dispatch from the left. The right-wing light cavalry then activated the horses' hooves.
Yang Qi sat down and the colorful tiger-skinned war horse also began to stride, and the riders quickly entered a state of jogging. On the road and in the vegetable field, the sound of horses' hooves gradually roared.
Yang Qi rushed to the cavalry of the Eastern Army. In the blink of an eye, before the guards around Yang Qi could catch up, he suddenly shot down the two Donghu people and dismounted, and rushed straight from the middle of the five or six horsemen.
Yang Qi was so skillful, he moved in the direction with his left and right rush, and he couldn't see how Yang Qi killed the enemy, and the cavalry of the Donghu Army who approached would be killed and dismounted with one move!
The war horse in the skin of the tiger seemed to be transformed into a real tiger, larger than the cavalry of the Eastern Appeal Army, and rushed into the herd of men and horses, the "tiger" was like slaughtering a flock of sheep, and it was invincible on a rampage!
After a while, many of the Donghu cavalry turned around and ran away. Everywhere Yang Qi went, the enemy soldiers scattered one after another, and Donghu's men and horses could not resist the attack of the Cheng army at all.
The horsemen kicked their horses and quickened their speed, and before they could rush to the front, the infantry phalanx of the Donghu Army suddenly scattered in a hurry and fled in all directions. Yang Qi scolded, kicked his horse and rushed up, swinging a knife to the side, and then heard a scream, and an enemy soldier with a steel crossbow had blood splattered on his back and fell to the ground.
Yang Qi continued to chase and kill, slashing several people in a row. The soldiers around him shouted and swept past him, and the crowd cried and shouted, and many of the enemy soldiers threw away their weapons and ran away like frightened pigeons.
Yang Qi rushed to the front of the barracks building, looked up, there was no one on it, and he shouted: "Open the door!" The gatehouse didn't move, and no one responded.
At this moment, a horse rushed to the wall, and the sergeant was so dexterous that he gradually stood up on the horse's back, and when he saw that he was about to fall, the man jumped and grasped the head of the wall with both hands.
After a while, the gate opened, and Yang Qi rushed in with his own soldiers.
The right shoulder of an ambushed enemy soldier moved, and his hand reached for the hilt of the knife at his waist, and was about to pounce on Yang Qi.
Yang Qi immediately drew his bow and aim.
"Bang!" There was a chord sound, and the arrows were drawing their swords at about twenty paces! The man didn't even snort before he fell. Yang Qi directly abandoned the bow, and when he pulled out his sword, the war horse had already rushed to him, and he slashed at the man's head with a single sword, and then blood splattered.
Yang Qi and the others swept straight past the left and right of the military tent, and then turned around and rushed through the door. There was a scream, everyone was stabbed, and the rest of the Donghu men fell in a pool of blood, and there was no room for resistance at all.
Yang Qi's war horse couldn't stop immediately, and rushed to the side for a while, before he reined in his mount.
"Woohoo!" He shouted twice and turned the horse's head.
The Cheng army, known as 100,000, swept through a large part of the Donghu country, and Keri will enter the royal road! At this time, the most powerful side in the territory of Donghu was of course the power of the empire, and they would soon be able to control the national fortunes of Donghu.
At this time, the large camp of the Cheng army outside Wabang City sounded a trumpet before dawn, and Zhao Gong's forward army pulled out the camp early and began to march eastward. Because Zhao Gong got the report last night, Yang Qi led the cavalry to Canglan!
Zhao Gong originally thought that King Cheng would wait for them to gather troops, but unexpectedly, Yang Qi's cavalry ran faster than anyone else. Canglan City now has strong troops, for fear that King Cheng is in danger. Zhao Gong was naturally very anxious, and sent orders twice in succession, urging the forward to speed up the march.
Soon after the sun rose, there was a scout military general in front of him: "Yang Qi's cavalry brigade captured a military camp more than ten miles southwest of Canglan yesterday evening, and the garrison is there, and the troops will not move!" ”
"Dashuai, do we still want to rush to Canglan City?"
Zhao Gong breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a straight face: "The army is marching towards Canglan, and the fighter plane must not be delayed!" ”
The morning sun is hanging in the sky, the air is moist, the dew has not dried, and today is another sunny day. When the Cheng army rushed into the camp yesterday and evening, it was getting late, and everyone had not had time to clean up the messy battlefield, and people were cleaning up this morning.
Early in the morning, Yang Qi found the corpse of an imperial merchant in this gatehouse, which had apparently been lying here all night and had not been heeded. He couldn't help but stand in front of the corpse for a long time.
Being in a foreign land, seeing an acquaintance dumping his body, Yang Qi couldn't help but feel a little emotional for a while.
When you come to this place, you are constantly exposed to strangers who don't understand the language, dangerous enemy troops, and the risk of various diseases. Some climbed up for military merit, some did not dare to disobey orders, and some lost their lives because of their inseparable lust and nostalgia......
Yang Qi raised his head and said to the people around him: "Find a place to bury it." ”
The guard replied, "Order!" ”
