Of course, Yan Dongxing didn't know that in the streetside restaurant he was galloping by, the commander of the Hongyuan Mansion City Defense Battalion was drinking this time. However, even if he knew that he had missed the opportunity to capture the other party's leader, he would not care.

It's just a few hundred infantry troops, but it's just a matter of a frontal charge!

Rushing all the way down the barely open street to the northeast of Shanxian County, the cavalry saw the school field of the Shanxian County Defense Battalion from a distance. Because Zhou staff had come to the city not long ago, the soldiers had not long since they dispersed. Knowing that there were Songjiang cavalry killed, a group of people had been assembled in advance and a queue of twenty vertical and ten was formed.

Looking at it from afar, this queue still has a little meaning. But if you look closer, you can see the true level of these soldiers.

In the face of the astonishing cavalry group, the hands of these soldiers of the city defense battalion holding their swords were trembling. Many people turned pale, their eyes were erratic, they looked around, and they had the idea of scattering and fleeing if something was wrong. Everyone knows that the charge of light infantry in the face of a large group of cavalry is a dead word. What's more, there are many more of these cavalrymen than they are!

After only a few dozen breaths, the cavalry of the first brigade had already rushed fifty paces away from the front of the queue.

The city defense battalion of Shanxian County never thought that it would be attacked by cavalry in the city, so it did not take precautions in advance. Although there were six or seven men carrying bows and arrows, the sparse arrows were scattered in the cavalry group where everyone wore standard leather armor, and not even a single wave was set off.

Twenty paces away!

The cavalrymen raised their sabers and shouted loudly. Under the frightened gaze of the soldiers of the city defense battalion, the company led the men and horses into the queue in the front row, and the knives fell!

Probably because of the terrain of the barracks, there was not enough room for the cavalry to spread out frontally, and this fixed course reduced the pressure on the soldiers of the city defense battalion. The first round of the charge of the Songjiang cavalry was blocked by the soldiers of the city defense battalion. However, more cavalry broke through the fence and rushed into the school field through the gap, outflanking the attack from the east and west flanks of the city defense array.

At this moment, the hundreds of soldiers of the city defense battalion who remained behind completely collapsed.

In a short period of time, the original queue could no longer see the shape, and some soldiers threw down their weapons and wanted to flee when they saw that the situation was not good. It's just that surrounded by thousands of cavalry, where can you flee?

While the cavalry of the four brigades besieged the infantry, the other two cavalry brigades also engaged Wang Buze's cavalry - perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a pursuit.

Seeing the number of Songjiang cavalry and the strength it displayed, the sixty cavalrymen who were a little disorganized realized that they were going to suffer. Except for a dozen riders who were still thinking about counterattacking, the first thought of the remaining cavalry was to escape! Only those who have their heads pumped will think of fighting enemies who are several times more than ten times larger.

Driven by them, the cavalry, who originally wanted to resist, had no choice but to turn around and prepare to leave the city.

Yan Dongxing naturally refused to let go of such a piece of meat, and immediately divided two teams to chase and kill. Although the riders of these city defense battalions are also war horses, they belong to the inferior kind, and they are not much stronger than ordinary horses. is at least a grade worse than Yan Dongxing's well-domesticated good horses, and his riding skills are far inferior.

For two reasons, even if Yan Dongxing's cavalry was more than a hundred steps behind, they still quickly caught up.

The main light cavalry of the empire has uniform cavalry requirements. Yan Dongxing's side also has the same training. Although the level of training that had only recently begun was still very low, and the accuracy of mounted archery was also very poor, two hundred cavalry could still inflict huge losses on these fleeing city defense battalion cavalry if they hit one person with dozens of arrows.

After a few rounds of arrow raindown, almost when the Songjiang cavalry completely caught up with them, these desperate city defense battalion cavalry surrendered in despair.

"Vulnerable!"

The two captains in charge of the pursuit sighed a little unsatisfied, from beginning to end, these cavalry of the city defense battalion who occupied an absolute disadvantage failed to resist, and they were simply slaughtered unilaterally.

In comparison, they are not as good as those infantry soldiers in the school field.

Although the losses of the infantry of the city defense battalion were even heavier, they still killed and wounded several horsemen of the Songjiang army. However, with the complete collapse of the formation, these soldiers of the city defense battalion no longer had any threat, and were easily scattered into six or seven pieces by the cavalry, rushing left and right but never being able to run out of the circle of cavalry.

"If it weren't for the fact that the Governor didn't want to make a big deal out of it, he would have wanted to ...... these guys."

Yan Dongxing glanced at them with disdain, and finally gave the order to capture them.

Wang Buze hurried up and saw this scene. His own cavalry had already fled, and the hastily formed infantry array was overwhelmed by the cavalry after a moment of symbolic resistance. Hundreds of men were killed in battle, the remaining wounded and survivors were forced to surrender, and the losses of the cavalry of the Songjiang Army were minimal.

"It's only one step too late, but it's actually ......"

Wang Buze gasped, although he didn't think that his subordinates could fight the regular army of the empire, but they were also selected from a city defense battalion wing. Even if there is a reason for his own absence and the lack of a leader among his subordinates, the speed of this rout is too fast.

Is the combat power of the Songjiang Army really so strong?

Faintly, Wang Buze felt uneasy and panicked in his heart, and there was a lingering shadow. He realized that the castle keeper behind him was probably provoking someone he couldn't afford to mess with!

In such a moment's hesitation, the situation has become irreparable. Wang Buze was also decisive, and immediately left with a few pro-soldiers without looking back, went out of the city from the east gate in a circle, and fled back to Hongyuan Mansion without touching the ground. As for the hundreds of guards on the side of the Crooked Head Mountain Iron Mine, Wang Buze no longer has that leisure mentality, so they ask for more blessings!

After leaving the city on his side, Yan Dongxing, who had taken control of the situation in Shanxian County, immediately sent two large groups of cavalry, and under the leadership of Qin An Agent of the Military Intelligence Department, went straight to the Crooked Head Mountain mining area.

Even the large troops in the county seat of Shanxian County were eradicated lightly, not to mention the hundreds of soldiers of the city defense battalion who stayed in the mining area. Since the Songjiang Army is also an "official army", and the weapon system is the same as that of the Empire, these soldiers who have not received the news even think that they are their own people, and they are still wondering where so many cavalry came from in Hongyuan Mansion, and some people even waved and whistled excitedly at the Songjiang Cavalry.

It was only when the cavalry slashed at them with an unkind face that the soldiers of the city defense battalion realized something.

But by this time, the cavalry had already swarmed up and began to charge in all directions.

In just one day, the situation in Shanxian County was completely mastered by Yan Dongxing, and the seized iron mine also fell into the hands of Songjiang again. As the price of defeating the Hongyuanfu city defense battalion in World War I, the Songjiang cavalry only suffered more than ten casualties. Rao is such a brilliant result, Yan Dongxing is still a little dissatisfied.

His opponent, after all, was just a group of city defense battalions, and the Songjiang army still had a little advantage in a surprise attack!

The real enemy of the Songjiang cavalry is the main army of the Oman Kingdom, and it is very likely that it will fight with the emperor in the future. Dealing with some city defense battalions can kill and wound 20 people, against the main battle troops of these big countries, how can the casualties not go to heaven?

When I go back, I have to practice strictly!

Just when he was secretly thinking like this, he didn't notice that there was already someone next to him who was asking to see him. When Yan Dongxing finally raised his head to look at him, the officials who had been hanging for a while were already covered in sweat, making people almost worried that he would faint directly if he continued to stand in the sun.

"What's the matter with you?"

To the relief of the officials, Yan Dongxing, who was on the horse, finally spoke.

As if a stone had been removed from his shoulder, the official straightened up slightly, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said solemnly: "My county magistrate asked me to ask, my lord, what do you want to come to Shanxian County?" ”

Yan Dongxing didn't understand a little, raised his heavy eyebrows, and said in a nasal voice: "Huh? ”

The clerk was startled by this questioning voice, and hurriedly bowed his head; "Don't misunderstand, my lord, the meaning of the county order is that my lord came to Shan County, is it because of the will of the Governor of Songjiang and wants to capture Shan County?"

His voice grew softer and softer, and by the time he reached the last sentence, it was almost so light that it was hard to hear. But what he meant, as well as the posture of the table, made Yan Dongxing understand.

It seems that if you answer yes to yourself, this county order will be changed to the court!

While being happy for his governor, Yan Dongxing was also a little speechless for a while. Shaking his head, he said to him, "Don't think about it...... It's not time yet. I was ordered to come here just to help our Songjiang Chamber of Commerce seek justice. I have long heard that the bandits in your Yuanshan County are rampant, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation, and I actually dared to pretend to be an official soldier, openly enter the city in broad daylight, and tried to seize the mine of our Songjiang Chamber of Commerce. ”

He was amazed, and his tone was serious, which made the officials a little confused.

Wang Buze, where are the bandits, it is clearly the city defense camp of Hongyuan Mansion!

He had the heart to discern something, and suddenly his soul understood something. Quickly swallowed back what he wanted to say, arched his hand and took his leave.

Obviously, the group of Songjiang people in front of them didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and they didn't mean to capture Shanxian County. As long as this is known, the county magistrate of Shanxian County will know what to do with this matter - pretend not to know, out of sight. As for the dead and captured city defense camps, that is the business of Hongyuan Mansion, what does it have to do with his single county!

The city guards of Hongyuan Mansion are of course their bosses, but the Songjiang Army is even more of a behemoth. The best way to fight on both sides is not to mix!

An hour later, the county magistrate of Shanxian County occasionally felt cold, was bedridden, and had difficulty handling political affairs.

Immediately afterwards, officials at all levels from the county order to the county level, and even the two head catchers were infected with various plagues and violent diseases, or the cousins who couldn't be beaten by the eight poles needed to go to the funeral, and they all asked for leave one by one. The entire Shanxian county government entered a state of suspension in an instant.

The soldiers of the 200 city defense battalions in Shanxian County were also not stupid, and they directly took off their military robes at the signal of 100 households, threw away their weapons, and turned into local people. The security of the entire single county was directly transferred to the cavalry of the Songjiang Army!

This kind of scoundrel method made Yan Dongxing a little helpless. However, knowing that Hong Yuanfu would most likely not give up, he was happy to see this scene. While ordering a small group of cavalry to go north to monitor the movements of Hongyuan Mansion, he ordered someone to transmit the news of Shanxian's success back to Dengzhou
