Wang Han saw that the Qiang generals were fierce, and the second long knife slashed at the head of the Song army, as simple as cutting a watermelon, and no one could stop it, so he had the idea of winning.

It is also a master of art who is bold, and he also has treasure armor to protect his body, and he wants to show off his martial arts, so he didn't wait for Tong Guan to stop him, and he rode into the enemy formation alone.

The Song army archers in the distance are looking for an opportunity to release arrows, and there are several feather arrows on their arms and chests, but they have not caused damage, obviously the battle armor is strong, and the feather arrows cannot form effective damage.

Wang Han shouted from afar, giving the archers a warning so as not to injure himself by mistake, and at the same time attracted the attention of Bi Slack - he thought that some general was coming, but it turned out to be a Song military captain, and he didn't look at it at all, and the corner of his mouth snorted coldly, and continued to slash and kill Song Jun.

Wang Han rode quickly, straight towards the slack, people came to the front, slack long knife round, with a ruthless hideous, to stop Wang Han and cut over the horse. Don't you know, Wang Han is also plotting against him, approaching him, his feet have already been on the back of the horse, seeing his big knife coming, his body is vertical, jumping up from the horse's back, the person flies into the air, the spear is pierced, and the neck is slack.

There was no suspense in the result, and the spear stabbed him through the slack.

This is the experience accumulated over the years of killing the enemy on the battlefield, and if you don't shoot, you will die.

With a successful blow, Wang Han jumped on the back of the horse in mid-air, and took the long knife in Biqiao's hand, one up, overturned a Qiang guard, and then the full moon slashed around.

When the Qiang guards saw that they were dead, they all looked angry, and they all came up desperately, and three or four people came to take Wang Han. Wang Han didn't panic either, he knocked Bi off the horse's back first, followed by a one-armed wheel, and the long knife swept, when the first two were swept off the horse, the two behind rushed up, a scimitar slashed, and a long knife stabbed.

Wang Han was not afraid of cutting, took the initiative to let his back over, sideways to avoid the long knife straight stab, when the two horses intersected, an elbow blow knocked the enemy down, and at the same time snatched his knife, a backhand slash, and another guard fell from the horse with stunned and unwilling.

He would never understand until he died, why his long knife couldn't cut through the body of the Song Lieutenant.

Wang Han was slackened here, and the remaining guards had been solved by other Song cavalry, and at the same time, the black clouds and horse hooves came down from the top of the rocky mountain, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder.

It was Gao Yongnian's raid cavalry brigade.

There was also a white velvet flipped fur hat in the Qiang procession, raising his arms and shouting, and took the lead in escaping.

In an instant, the army was defeated.

……

It is said that the Qiang people gathered 40,000 horses, but only 10,000 people really have combat effectiveness, and the others are all servants.

This is the disadvantage of slavery, no matter how heroic the master is, the slave is a slave, and he will only live in chaos. Slaves have no control over their own lives, and they are delusional about what they can do for their masters.

It is also because the Qiang people do not pay attention to slaves that they have today's failure.

The Qiang people knew that the first wave of cavalry rushing over would definitely be baptized by the rain of arrows, so the first part of the queue were slave cannon fodder, and the real combat elite followed behind the slaves, and when the slaves consumed the enemy's feather arrows, the main elite was also killed.

It's a pity that when Wang Han played tricks, the shells did not blow up the vanguard troops, and they went to the back.

The cavalry formation of more than 10,000 people rushed in a swarm, and was constrained by the terrain of the Minshan Pass, so they could only pull away the horizontal plane of more than 200 horsemen, and as a result, they were torn open by shells in the middle of the seventeen or eighteen large openings, and they were instantly defeated.

If the cavalry of the Qiang people was a poisonous snake, Wang Han's cannonball hit exactly seven inches, causing the poisonous snake to lose its body, and only a snake head rushed to the Song army.

It's fate, and it's luck.

Wang Han killed Dobaro's second son with a bombardment, causing the vanguard troops to disperse, and then Wang Hou beat the drum and marched, and Dobaro's eldest son was not convinced, and ordered the elite troops to turn back and counterattack, but the lone army went deep and was poked over by Wang Han on horseback. The remaining youngest son, Amun, was frightened and gave the order to retreat.

The army array below retreated, and the servants on the mountain also dispersed in a hurry, tens of thousands of cattle and horses scurried all over the mountain, the momentum was extraordinary, the beasts were galloping, and they were stunned to rush out of a cattle and horse blockade between the Song army and the Qiang people.

It turned out that the Qiang people did not prepare much food and grass for war, but they prepared a lot of horses, cattle and sheep, especially yaks, this kind of short-tempered all-round animals ran wildly, and the cavalry of the Song army did not dare to stop them.

Hu Lie, a brave general in the distance, saw the Qiang people fleeing westward, and shouted again and again, releasing arrows and arrows.

Needless to say, the archers had long since moved, shooting through herds of cattle and horses.

Amon, the third son of Tobaro, escaped some distance, looked back, his face was full of grief and indignation, and pointed at Wang Han with the scimitar in his hand: "Guna Han, Nima batches, wait for your grandfather." ”

Wang Han understood, grabbed the bow and arrow from one of the archers, stood on the horse's back, and shot with his bow.

When the arrow went like a meteor, Amon was so frightened that he hurriedly clamped the horse's belly, but it was too late, and Wang Han shot him in the shoulder blade with an arrow, and the sound of oops was low, but he did not fall, and ran away with the horse.

Gao Yongnian's troops chased in the mountains, the Qiang people rode their horses fast, a large group of cattle, horses and sheep behind them were abandoned, and the cavalry of the Song army could not break through, and there was no way to stare at the back.

Hu Lie, the general here, was also in a hurry, and the horsewhip pointed at the yak herd and shouted, "Those who want to eat beef rush up, and it's blocked!" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they were even more excited than when they heard that they had been invited to visit the kiln, and they raised their spears and stabbed them, and their bows and arrows were shot, and they all beckoned to the oxen to block their escape route.

In ancient times, capturing the enemy's grain and grass was also a great achievement.

The most important thing is that the people and horses in the plateau area cannot insist on long-term vigorous exercise, which is also the main reason why Wang Hou wanted to encircle and suppress the enemy from the beginning.

The battle of Luoshi Mountain came to an end.

According to the statistics of the military report, more than 3,000 people were beheaded in this battle, and 7,000 yaks, 5,000 war horses, and 6,000 sheep were captured.

The number of its own losses was more than 600, and the number of wounded by arrows was also thousands, and the military doctors could treat them. In his heart, this battle cost the lives of 3,000 Erlang, wiped out the main force of the Qiang people, and then Huangzhou was easy to fight.

Unexpectedly, the two sides collapsed before they officially fought.

In any case, it was a victory in the first battle, and it was also a credit. Tong Guan, the superintendent of the war, read the war report and proposed that 200 cattle and 500 sheep be slaughtered to reward the army, and as for the figures on the war report, there is no need to delve into it.

The implication is that Tong Guan turned a blind eye to the seizure of cattle, sheep and horses, after all, Wang Hou was demoted because he robbed the cattle, sheep and horses of the imperial court.

In the war, of course, the materials paid are all from the imperial court, how can the soldiers use them at will? Those seized cattle, sheep and horses must be registered and made for the court to deal with. Under normal circumstances, the overseers sent by the imperial court all allowed the generals to occupy a part, and it was rare for someone like Wang Hou to occupy the spoils of war and be fired.

Tong Guan wants to sacrifice the army, naturally the whole army is happy, the yak is a good thing, generally in the plateau above three thousand meters above sea level, in order to fight, the Qiang people brought the yak down from the plateau, otherwise, the Song army can not eat such a good thing.

Tong Guan said that there was no need to delve into the numbers of the battle report, Wang Hou was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded him for his meritorious deeds - although the merit of this battle was not great, but for the handsome, after all, he had to win the hearts of the people.

As long as they fight according to orders, all are rewarded, not money, only cattle and sheep, according to the size of the official rank, everyone has a share.

It is said that Wang Han is just a captain, and he also delayed Wang Hou's military plan, and he himself estimated that there might be no reward, but in front of everyone, Wang Hou rewarded him with 30 cattle and 50 sheep, but did not explain the reason.

When everyone retreated, Wang Hou left Wang Han behind, who was extremely enthusiastic and asked about the new artillery, production methods, performance, power, and follow-up research and development.

Wang Han replied one by one, and Wang Hou's beard trembled vigorously, and he said yes in a loud voice, and said to Tong Guan excitedly: "The joy of the Great Song Dynasty, the joy of the Great Song Dynasty, this kind of artillery is equipped with the army, and there is no enemy in the world who can fight." ”

Tong Guan smiled and asked, "Is the power really so great?" ”

Wang Houdao: "There are only twenty gates this time, if two thousand doors stand in front of the formation, who can stop them?" He added: "It is best for the observer to describe this matter in detail, report it to the imperial court, and let the ordnance superintendent produce more." ”

Tong Guan replied, "Yes." ”

Asked Wang Han again, "How many shells are there now?" ”

Wang Han said: "There are more than 400 rounds. ”

Wang Houxi patted his thigh, "Rest tonight, pull out the camp early tomorrow morning, and take Xizhou the day after tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, before the army pulled out of the camp, the quartermaster came to Wang Han and asked Wang Han how to arrange the rewarded cattle and sheep.

Wang Han said: "They all killed and ate meat." ”

The quartermaster whispered: "The cattle and sheep that eat meat have been separately divided, and the reward is your private property in Baoyi." ”

Wang Han understands this, some of the soldiers eat meat, and besides, he is a lieutenant, and there are only fifteen soldiers under him, so there is no need to buy people's hearts. He asked the quartermaster, "How did you deal with the old practice?" ”

The quartermaster said: "It is sold to the people." After some elaboration, Wang Han understood. Every time I fought with Tubo, there were merchants in those logistics baggage, and when they won the battle, they collected the spoils of war, and defeated them faster than rabbits, all of which were war money.

This kind of thing is happening to both the enemy and us, even if you are unlucky and get caught, as long as you are not a soldier, you will generally not be embarrassed, otherwise, who will clean up and bury those corpses on the battlefield?

The corpses are decomposing and there is a plague, and everyone is going to suffer.

Wang Han said that he would sell it, and the quartermaster led Wang Han to the back of the baggage cart, where there were seven or eight men, all of whom were full of smiles, and when they saw Wang Han, they all gave up, it turned out that they all knew that Wang Han had the most yaks in his hand, and they came to wait.

In this way, Wang Han understood everything, his cattle must be sold below the market price, and the quartermaster had to take money from it.

According to the market price, a yak is less than 30 times, but on the battlefield, the merchant only sells 10 times. Wang Han was too lazy to mind, and was about to order someone to sell casually, but Yu Guang saw that there was an acquaintance shrunk behind the pile, it was Zheng Guanxi, who wanted to ask embarrassedly in the back, holding two yaks in his hands.

Wang Han knew that he was also here to sell cattle, so he called him over at the moment, and gave him all the cattle and sheep.

Zheng Guanxi was difficult to do, and said: "I don't have so much money in my hand to give Baoyi." ”

Wang Han said: "Just pull it back, and the money will be talked about later." ”

Zheng Guanxi was overjoyed, and even made a gesture, and the saliva of laughter fell, and everyone on the side was full of envy, saying that he was a great creation.

The cattle and sheep were given to him, but he remembered his hard work in order to let himself eat beef, and he also knew that when the thirty cows and fifty sheep were pulled back, Zheng Guanxi made a fortune in Weizhou and became a wealthy family.

Some things, I don't know if they will happen, and it's good to remind you two sentences.

Wang Han said: "If you make a fortune in the future, don't do that thing that bullies men and women, otherwise one day you will beat someone to death with three punches, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Zheng Guanxi grinned, "Naturally not, naturally not." ”

It's said to be talking, but who can say for sure about fate.
