The salt ditch mentioned by Yang Ye is the only place between Youzhou and Zhuozhou that is suitable to hold the block. The dense forest on both sides sandwiches a river ditch in the middle, the flat land that is slightly more spacious also builds the walled city to guard the key points, there is a watchtower next to the walled city named Haotian Tower, five layers of octagonal, more than ten zhang high. When he went north ten days ago, Wu Yingying was deeply impressed by the simple and vigorous Haotian Tower, because it was the place where the Yang family placed Yang Ye's bones in the romance, and the opera legend of "Meng Liang stealing bones" was born.

At this moment, Yang Ye wanted to take the risk of collecting and escorting the Han people back to the mainland, and let himself lead the army to Yangou to block the ambush, Wu Yingying had no way to shirk, so he said in a deep voice: "Then as General Yang said, the German army will be stationed in Yangou to wait, even if the Liao people have thousands of troops and horses to attack, they should not retreat if they have not seen Linggong." Under the surging heart, the tone and title have changed a little.

Yang Ye glanced at him strangely. The military situation was urgent, and after a hurried discussion, Wu Yingying informed Yu Furen to turn to Yangou to rendezvous, and Wang Yuchong was the marching guide. Wu Yingying led the 300 Anxiya army by himself, and went to Yangou first to collect the defeated army and arrange the arrangement.

The Ya military camp waited for a long time, and listened to Wu Yingying talk about his plan to help Yang Ye rescue Han Min, and all the soldiers had no objection. At this time, the sky was not clear, Wu Yingying led the army out of the camp, the infantry army all rode horses, three hundred horsemen rushed to the Yangou Fort, the east just revealed a line of fish belly white. After inspecting the terrain on the left and right, Wu Yingying ordered the tooth camp to assemble in a queue, he slowly glanced at the queue from left to right, living in Bianliang for many years, this is a group of tooth soldiers who have led the army from the south of the Yangtze River and followed Wu Yingying for the longest time, the most training, the deepest feelings, after this battle, I don't know how many people can survive.

Looking at the simple, resolute and silent faces, Wu Yingying couldn't help but choke a little in his throat, the corners of his eyes were sour, he forcibly calmed down the tide in his heart, and said slowly and clearly: "You are the elite selected from the 30,000 Anxi robes, and they have been practiced for a long time, and they are used for a while today. From my point of view, if you have courage and talent, you can be a centurion. After the rout of the army, if there are warriors who are willing to follow our army to intercept the Liao army here, you can go to collect the command, and the Wu'an Western Army is the most important, after this battle, there are ten people under his command for the ten commanders, and the centurions, captains, and even army commanders are promoted. Today, he killed the enemy side by side with you, and Wu Yingying was very lucky. This battle attracted the attention of the world, so the warriors of our generation re-engraved the history with the blade, and lived up to the reputation of Anxi. ”

After listening to Wu Yingying's speech, some of the sergeants were excited, some were excited, and more of them were scorching. The Ya military camp is the battalion where Wu Yingying cultivates the seeds of reserve officers. Most of the sergeants who can be selected for the Ya military camp have experience as ten commanders, and the military and political strategies that Wu Yingying has organized and taught have long exceeded the level of centurion and lieutenant, and even how to control the coordinated attack of several armies have been discussed in the Ya military camp. A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and even more so in the Ya barracks.

In more than a year of integration, a complete and smooth command level has been formed within the barracks, and the sergeants are very familiar with the military order system and their own methods. Wu Yingying wanted to use the reserve officer corps of the Ya Military Camp to capture the brave fighters in the broken forbidden army, and hastily assembled a force that was enough to deter the Liao soldiers. If the guerrillas on the side were scattered, Wu Yingying would not dare to make such a plan, but the imperial court forbidden army was the most heavily drilled, and the basic battle tactics of the forbidden army had certain rules. With the familiarity of the Ya military camp with the tactical passwords of the forbidden army, it is a reluctant way to pack up the forbidden soldiers and fight in a column.

In addition, General Yang's banner was erected to recruit soldiers to intercept the Liao army. Listening to Wu Yingying's order, Zhang Zhongyao took out the scarlet banner of "Anxi Festival Wu", put it on the barrel of the Zhangba gun, stood beside the road, and took out the blank cyan flag for the ordinary exercise, and dipped the pen in ink, when he wanted to write Yang Ye's name, he frowned and asked: "How to write the rank of General Yang?" Yang Ye was the envoy of the Jianxiong Army in the Northern Han Dynasty, and his status was respected, and the Northern Han Dynasty was admired. Wu Yingying pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Just write 'Dai Beiyang Jiye'." For some reason, Wu Yingying blurted out not Liu Jiye or Yang Ye, but the three words Yang Jiye, who has been praised by all generations and has been loved for thousands of years. The armies next to him are also taken for granted, as if Yang Ye has always had such a prestige. Zhang Zhongyao said hello, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and then wrote the Yangzi banner, and inserted it next to the road with the banner of Wu Yingying. At this time, the east side showed the glow, the two big flags waved in the wind, and the sergeants of the barracks under the flagpole were all in high spirits, looking at death as home, and there was no depression at all.

The soldiers scattered under the city of Youzhou began to pass through the salt ditch in twos and threes, and saw two big flags standing next to the road, more than ten elite horsemen surrounded by a majestic general with a helmet and armor standing in front of the big flag, some looked at it curiously, some hurried by, some pressed the sword vigilantly and carried the heavy walk, one of the ten Chinese sides stepped forward to inquire about the news, the sergeants of the Ya military camp had already spread, and the sergeants were all over the north and south of the salt ditch, agitating like a spring, and persuading those who were a little hesitant, or not angry and fled, and could still fight to stay.

A donkey cart slowly drove past under the escort of dozens of horses, and when he heard the noise outside, someone asked in a weak voice: "Cui Qing, what's going on again?" Zhao Jiong's face was pale in the curtain, and through the gap in the curtain, he vaguely saw a group of people and horses standing majestically beside the road. In a trance, Zhao Jiong thought he was hallucinating. Cui Han knew Wu Yingying, he sent a colonel to ask about the situation, leaned over by the curtain and said: "Your Majesty, it is Anxi Jiedu Wu Yingying who has gathered the defeated army and tried to rely on Yangou Zhaibao to intercept the Liao. At this time, an Anxi sergeant came up and said in a loud voice: "Anxi Jiedu made Wu Yingying to intercept the Liao army here, I see that everyone is a good man, why don't you stay and fight the Khitan dogs together!" Cui Han was embarrassed when he heard this, pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist, and reprimanded: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and the road is facing the sky, so don't stop it!" Qin Jiong saw that this group of people was reluctant, and he didn't say much, he spat out thick phlegm with contempt, patted his waist knife and went elsewhere to collect the rout.

Zhao Jiong was stunned when he heard this, and gently pulled the curtain to take a closer look, only to see that Wu Yingying was an officer of more than ten commanders in the Ya military camp on the left and right, full of heroic spirit, tall war horses, neat armor, and the banner of Anxi hunting and hunting, and thousands of soldiers had gathered under his banner. For a while, I don't know whether it was jealousy or humiliation, Zhao Jiong only felt sour in his heart, at this time, he only had dozens of cavalry around him to protect him, so he naturally didn't dare to easily identify himself, so he had to say in a trembling voice: "Wu Yingying, okay...... Good ......" Cui Han heard the following, so he ordered the cavalry to escort the official family through the salt ditch quickly, in his mind, the threat of the Anxi people and the Khitans to the official family was on par. After Cui Han escorted Zhao Jiong out of the imperial camp last night, because the Liao cavalry was galloping everywhere, he did not dare to go south, but found a hidden mountain col to hide, until the Liao people retreated, he didn't know what the situation of the camp was, and then saw that the army was defeated everywhere, and he went south more and more, but the donkey cart was not fast, and he passed through the salt ditch after Wu Yingying and other Anxi military horses. The official family did not dare to stay in the territory of Liao, and retreated all the way to the territory of the Song State, and only then did he order Cui Han to garrison Jintaiyi on the border of the Liao-Song Dynasty to pack up the remnants of the army.
