Chapter 4 Thousands of Horsemen Counterattack

At this time, the morale of the people was originally low, but they retreated without a single battle, which made many people hold their breath in their hearts.

In the face of Fan Zhuoyuan's mockery with the meaning of the first in the army, this anger was immediately stimulated.

"Our Western Army has fought with Xixia dogs for several generations, and the balls that didn't die early have not been planted! If you dare to go, as long as Tong Shuai is willing, the Sprinkle family will go to the ghost gate with you! ”

"Not bad! We take Tong Shuai's salary, as long as Tong Shuai agrees, the sword mountain and the sea of fire will go! You are a swallow person, you have no control, of course you can act recklessly! ”

Fan Zhuoyuan sneered, "Yes, there are still a few species with seeds." ”

Then he looked at Tong Guan and said: "There are 10,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Xuanfu, and there are only 500 cavalry at the moment, even if they all die with Fan, it is not a big deal, now it depends on Xuanfu's opinion." ”

Tong Guan's expression was shocked, he looked Fan Zhuoyuan up and down, and felt more and more that this person was not an ordinary horseman, and in just a few words, the defeated army's heart was reunited.

He looked at the soldiers around him, and the eyes of these soldiers who got along day and night showed a desire to fight, and they were obviously very dissatisfied with this morning's inexplicable rout.

Tong Guan couldn't help but think: "If you want to bet, bet a little bigger, I will give him a thousand rides, it is my credit to play well, if you don't play well, even if you break it all, it won't hurt your muscles and bones." ”

"Okay, you are so bold as a swallow man, I am not stingy, I will send a thousand horses with you, and wait until it gets dark, if there is no feedback, we will go to Zhuozhou."

Fan Zhuoyuan was surprised by this, in fact, he only did his best to persuade Tong Guan to obey the fate of heaven, and never expected to persuade a fearless eunuch, but only tried his best to reduce the risk of the other party in his words.

I didn't expect Tong Guan to really dare to bet on this, of course, his loss would not be very big if he lost the bet.

And with Tong Guan's words, Fan Zhuoyuan suddenly felt that this group of Song Jun might not be able to save it.

Immediately, he shouted: "Xuanfu envoy agreed, a thousand horses, I only want the best riding skills!" ”

The applicants came and went, Fan Zhuoyuan directly ordered a thousand of the most elite cavalry to come out with his vicious gaze, and the military commander Wang Yu also took the initiative to invite him to participate in the war, and Fan Zhuoyuan was also retained.

Then Fan Zhuoyuan asked Tong Guan for a war horse, and then handed over the dragon slaying knife to Tong Guan, and then asked for a mace, a strong bow of eight infantry and two bags of arrows.

Tong Guanhu took the dragon slaying knife suspiciously, and was surprised, "This knife weighs hundreds of pounds, right?" ”

Fan Zhuoyuan took off his chain mail and rode on the war horse shirtless, "Fan weighs a certain weight, if you bring a knife, ordinary war horses can't run at all, so I bother to take care of it on my behalf, and then come to get the knife when I return victorious!" ”

Fan Zhuoyuan said it heroically and domineeringly, and the generals also followed the heroism.

As Fan Zhuoyuan, who was holding a mace, greeted, the army of thousands of horsemen followed.

The system immediately sent a prompt: "Mission 1 completed, reward 50,000 proficiency points, victory army fame: friendly ......"

But at this time, Fan Zhuoyuan didn't care much about this.

Tong Guan stood in the rear, watched them go away with a little expectation, and ordered: "Scout out, supervise the battle situation for the commander, and at the same time check the enemy situation." The rest of the tribe went into the forest and set up camp, resting on the spot, and keeping watch. ”

Fan Zhuoyuan's side followed the retreat of the defeated army all the way to the north, and naturally waited for the forward reconnaissance in the middle.

Although the march time was not long, Fan Zhuoyuan's command and dispatch had no problems, so that each squad could maintain its best condition and enter the battle at any time.

These command and dispatch may seem inconspicuous, they are all details, but in fact, they can best reflect a general's combat experience.

Wang Yu followed Fan Zhuoyuan's side and said in surprise: "General Fan has led the army before?" Could it be in the Liao army? ”

Fan Zhuoyuan said that he was a Yan person, and he showed his ability to command and dispatch, of course, he couldn't say that he had never been a soldier, this lie was too false, so he said: "The Liao army is corrupt, Fan has been a soldier for more than ten years, but he ended up ruined, so he slaughtered the Khitan chief and escaped alone!" ”

This kind of thing was not uncommon at the end of the Liao Kingdom, and Wang Yu often heard about it, so he did not doubt him.

At this time, the road was quite quiet, and no enemy troops were encountered.

After all, the 200,000 army of the Northern Song Dynasty suddenly bombed the camp and collapsed early in the morning, and even Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan didn't expect it.

At this time, Yelu Dashi was wounded and should have gone back to heal his wounds, while Xiao Gan was likely to pursue the Song army with a large number of troops.

According to historical records, they will be pursued all the way to the city of Zhuozhou, and the losses of the Song army are incalculable.

During the march, Fan Zhuoyuan chatted with Wang Yu about the defeat.

Wang Yu sighed and said: "If a team of a few or dozens of people fights, our army has never been defeated by the Liao army.

But once the number of people is tens of thousands, the people above have their own ideas, and the generals in the middle also have their own ideas.

Thinking too much, no one from top to bottom thinks about how to fight, how can they not be defeated. ”

Fan Zhuoyuan said: "The western army only went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to conquer Fangla, and it is reported that there were many casualties in the non-war because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, and they went north to attack Yanyun non-stop, and even had to mix many Hebei forbidden troops in order to supplement the establishment.

It should be that the Western Army does not trust the forbidden army, and the forbidden army is indeed timid and cowardly, and has no combat effectiveness, so once the forbidden army collapses, the officers and men of the Western Army are naturally unwilling to stay and fight, so every time tens of thousands of troops fight with the enemy, they will be defeated.

And the more defeated, the greater the impact on the morale of the army, and the more they fight, the more they dare not fight, which leads to the current situation. ”

Wang Yu and the surrounding soldiers nodded one after another, "What Fan Zhuangshi said is extremely true, our Western Army has always been connected by the township party, everyone trusts each other very much, and they are willing to work together in battle, otherwise if someone becomes a deserter on the battlefield, they will not only be dealt with by military law after they go back, but even their families will be looked down upon."

That group of forbidden army soft-bastards, who had never seen a battle, the officials above insisted on mixing them into the big guy's troops, and when they came to battle, they had not yet taken over the battle, and they were just scared and screaming, and even and urine.

If the whole army is surrounded by such a group of soft eggs, and they can fight by themselves, then how can they fight, it is better to run for their lives quickly. ”

Fan Zhuoyuan heard the soldier's heart, and said solemnly: "Although Fan is a Yan person, he fights with the enemy, and he has always rushed to the front and never lags behind, you can watch!" ”

Everyone didn't speak, so naturally they would really look at Fan Zhuoyuan's performance, whether it was really as he said.

Wang Yu looked at the steel-like muscles of Fan Zhuoyuan's upper body, and couldn't help asking: "Why did Fan Zhuangshi take off the chain mail before, although the chain mail is difficult to protect against blunt weapons, it can also fully defend against sharp blades and loss." ”

Fan Zhuoyuan touched the war horse under him, fed a handful of black beans, and said: "There are no good horses in the Great Song Dynasty, I can only try to reduce the weight, in fact, compared to the cavalry charge, I prefer the infantry to break the formation." ”

During the chat, the scout hurriedly reported: "The Liao army is carrying the baggage left by our army, and now we have been discovered!" ”

Fan Zhuoyuan raised his mace, clamped the horse's belly, and said simply: "Rush with me!" ”

After saying just three words, he had rushed to the front of everyone, and for a while, all the soldiers were enthusiastic, and they followed Fan Zhuoyuan and rushed forward.

Soon I saw more than 10,000 people and horses left here by the Liao army, most of whom were Han soldiers who could not ride horses.

Due to the rout of the Song army, the soldiers and horses of the Liao army carrying the baggage at this time were very lax, even if they saw the scouts of the Shengjie army, they only thought that it was the Song army that was scattered, and only sent ten Liao cavalry to chase after them.

When the ten Liao cavalry saw that countless Song cavalry were rushing towards them, they were all stunned.
