Chapter 160: Yang Zaixing
The 7,000 heavily armed infantry, in the face of the attack of 1,500 cavalry, collapsed like a collapsed sand castle......
No one even looks back and shoots an arrow.
Despite the arrows on the bows that many of them had thrown away, despite the horses and large shields in front of their formations, and despite the full armor they all wore on them, they were still defeated. They abandoned their weapons, took off their armor as they fled, and allowed them to cover the hooves of the cavalry behind them, and even knocked their companions down and trampled them under their feet......
But there was no resistance.
However, there are many people who can't run and are kneeling to the side with their heads in their hands and begging for mercy.
And there are more and more of them.
"General, the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty are like this, let's go back to Yanshan Mansion to gather all the young people, even if we take this country, it will not be a problem!"
Gao Jie said with a smile.
Not only him, but the mounted cavalrymen were laughing.
There's no way not to laugh!
Although they have indeed seen a lot of strange performances of the Great Song Dynasty officials and troops these days, in the final analysis, this kind of real large-scale field battle is not, that is, Tan Zhi's attack last time was the largest. But because it was a street battle, these mounted cavalry really didn't face much, and the urban street fighting was not a field battle after all, and the engagements were all small-scale. And this is the first time they have engaged in a formation on the plain with the regular army of the Song army, the regular field army, and then it is actually the result.
Don't laugh?
I really can't help but laugh if I don't laugh!
"What about the Jurchens behind the scenes? We can't do anything else without solving the Jurchens. ”
Wang Yue said.
"But isn't it easier for us to seize this country first, and then join forces with the Southern Dynasties? It's really difficult to fight the Jurchen, and it's easy to fight the Southern Dynasty, but after getting the Southern Dynasty, won't it be easy for us to fight the Jurchen again? ”
Gao Jie said cautiously.
"But when we fight the Jurchens, the Southern Dynasty has no ability to backstab us, but when we fight the Southern Dynasty, the Jurchens will inevitably backstab us, so do you think that when we go south, those who stay in the north can stop the Jurchens from going south? At that time, our side had not yet stabilized, and the Jurchens behind us had arrived, and we worked hard to make wedding dresses for the Jurchens. ”
Wang Yue said.
"Well, the Admiral was indeed wrong."
Gao Jie quickly admitted his mistake.
Then he raised his head and looked at the Da Song Zhengpai field army in front of him, which was completely herding sheep, saying that in the face of such an opponent, he obviously endured very hard!
At this time, they had stopped pursuing, the mounted cavalry did not do this kind of work, and the rest belonged to Wang Xuan and Cao Cheng, and these light cavalry had indeed begun to fight into the rout, but there was not much they had to do. Most of these routed soldiers spoke the same language as most of them, and even had acquaintances from the same townsmen, and when they were caught up by the cavalry, they honestly surrendered with their heads in their hands, and continued to flee if they couldn't catch up.
Even the generals.
Especially after discovering that these cavalry did not kill indiscriminately, then surrender became the mainstream, anyway, the weapon was thrown away, hugged the head and squatted, and there were those who waited for the cavalry to pass, and continued to get up and flee into the distance.
In short, the entire battlefield rushed into chaos.
"Don't let Li Yan run away!"
Wang Yue's eyes searched the battlefield and soon found Li Yan's figure.
Li Dadang was about to escape into Yujin Garden.
His base is in Qingcheng, and Yujin Garden is the main garrison, and those newly recruited rabble are in Qingcheng and Yujin Garden, both of which are surrounded by walls, and these scum at least have some hope for defense......
This, of course, he himself thinks.
The tooth flag beside Wang Yue immediately waved, pointing in the direction where Li Yan was, and then dozens of cavalry under the nearest Cao Cheng banner rushed straight over, led by a young cavalryman, lying on horseback and accelerating, quickly throwing off his companions and quickly crossing Li Yan single-handedly.
The latter also discovered him, and immediately pointed with a horsewhip in panic, and the personal soldiers protecting Li Yan immediately divided six to meet and intercept.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry ran into the six soldiers......
Then Wang Yue and Gao Jie were stunned.
At the moment of collision, the cavalry suddenly rolled off the horse, and the two conone spears that had stabbed him fell short at the same time, but he hung on the right side of the war horse, and a shot stabbed under the ribs of a personal soldier, and then he pulled out his gun and turned back on the horse, twisting his body and pumping horizontally, and the head of the cone spear slashed through the neck of another pro-soldier who had rushed over, and the latter instantly spurted blood......
"Lao Cao still has such a good hand under him?"
Gao Jie was stunned.
Wang Yue didn't speak, but looked at it with interest.
At this time, the second group of two pro-soldiers arrived, one left and one right two cone-gun stabbed obliquely, the man avoided one swinging away the other, and stabbed the spear head into the throat of the pro-soldier with a shake of the cone, and the remaining pro-soldier was so frightened that he immediately turned away from it, and the bow in the hands of the last two pro-soldiers on the periphery was immediately opened, but before the arrow was shot, the man handed the gun to his left hand, and the axe in his right hand was suddenly thrown out, hitting the forehead of a pro-soldier.
The dead body fell from the horse.
The rest of the one hurriedly shot an arrow, but he didn't hit it because his hand was shaking.
The man glared at him at once.
The soldier was so frightened that he threw away his bow and fled without hesitation.
At this time, Li Yan was about to arrive at the gate of the garden.
The cavalryman immediately took out his bow and arrows and aimed at Li Yan on horseback, but the distance was a little far at this time, so he immediately shot three arrows in a row with great speed, and the third arrow hit Li Yan's front legs, and the horse instantly bent its front legs and knelt down, and then under the inertia of the wild gallop, the two hind legs suddenly turned upward.
Poor Li Yan screamed and was thrown out directly.
"It's kind of interesting!"
Wang Yue said with a smile.
He really didn't expect that there would be a surprise in Cao Cheng's scum.
This person is no worse than Li Xiaozhong and Wang De!
By this time, the man had already rushed over to arrest him.
Although Li Yan still had a lot of personal soldiers around him, firstly, Li Dadang's life and death were unknown there, and secondly, the companions behind the man were also arriving, so they all abandoned Li Yan very simply......
They are nothing more than hired by Li Yan.
Li Yan is a eunuch, and he doesn't have his own basic plate like those Jiangmen families, if Li Yan really falls to his death, they will work hard for him, and they will not be like those Jiangmen families, and their families will be taken care of for generations because of this, and now they can do this step is already worthy of Li Yan's usual kindness.
"Call him here!"
Wang Yue said.
A herald immediately rushed over.
The man had already picked up Li Yan from the ground, but Li Dadeng was not dead, and immediately began to struggle, but was soon surrounded by cavalry, who obviously took special care of him, punching and kicking him, and poor Li Dadeng soon only screamed. Fortunately, the herald had saved him from the cavalry, otherwise it would not have been long before he would have been beaten to death, and even at this time, many soldiers around him ran excitedly to try to join the beating of him.
Not only the cavalry under Wang Yue, but also many of the forbidden troops under him were also eager to try.
I have to say, his hatred value is really high.
At least so far, Wang Yue really hasn't found anyone who surpasses him.
The man quickly dragged Li Yan over.
"The deputy Yang Zaixing of the small cavalry battalion directly under the team has seen the general!"
He saluted.
"What's your name?"
Wang Yue was stunned.
"The small surname is Yang Zaixing."
The man said.
"The commander of the third cavalry battalion is Cao Cheng, and the captain of the battalion is his younger brother Cao Liang, are you Cao Liang's deputy? I remembered that there was indeed you among the dozen or so brothers that Cao Cheng carried. ”
Wang Yue also remembered at this time.
At this time, he not only thought of Yang Zaixing, but also remembered his Cao battalion commander, isn't this the rogue who followed Zong Ze to defend Kaifeng after the Jingkang Revolution, but was later rebelled by Du Chong, and then fought until Guangxi before being forced to surrender by Yue Fei? He hadn't thought about it much before, he just felt that this person still had some ability, so he was promoted to lead the troops, but he didn't expect that he was still a big fish.
But more importantly, this big fish still has Yang Zaixing by his side.
"General Hui, exactly, the little one and Battalion Commander Cao are both in the forbidden army, and they are sworn brothers with him, so they surrendered to the general with him."
Yang Zaixing said.
"Then don't follow Cao Cheng, it just so happens that I don't have a pro-soldier captain here, so you can follow me as a pro-soldier captain! After this battle, you will almost be able to form a cavalry battalion again, and you will be the battalion commander at that time. ”
Wang Yue said.
Of course, Yang Zaixing was willing.
Wang Yue then poked Li Yan, who was thrown on the ground, with a Mo knife......
"Li Dadang, it's a good luck!
Speaking of which, we are also ignorant of life, in fact, I included you in the six thieves, purely because I liked this number, and I just let you in to make up the number, but I didn't expect you to be really angry! ”
He said.
Li Yan, who vomited blood from the fall, raised his head and looked at him resentfully.
"The general doesn't know that this traitor is scraping the ground in various places, enclosing all the mountains, rivers and lakes that can be enclosed to collect taxes, and the common people have to pay taxes for his every move, and they also wantonly occupy the people's land, and all the land deeds must be carefully checked at all levels, even if they originally bought other people's land, they also had to find the old owner to verify, and if they couldn't find it, they were taken away by him and included in the public land.
Countless good families were ruined by him. ”
Yang Zaixing said indignantly.
"Yes, kill this gelding!"
"Cut him with a thousand cuts!"
……
The soldiers around them roared in anger.
There are even people who can't help it, so they want to rush forward and continue to beat him.
"The slave and maid are an errand boy, the official family has ordered the slave and the maid to do it, the official family wants money, and the slave and maid can only scrape the ground, if it is not for the lack of money of the official family and the urgency, the slave and the maid are not born to be rotten, how can they set up a name to collect those messy taxes? Slaves and maids also eat fasting and chant Buddha on weekdays, slaves and maids also want to accumulate virtue and do good, and slaves and maids don't want to die and be retributed, but slaves and maids do this!
Slaves and maids don't knock on the bones and marrow of the common people, and if the slaves and maids can't take out the money that the officials want, then the officials will have to ask for the lives of the slaves and maids.
General Mingjian!
As for you scolding me and beating me, I know that I deserve it.
But I really don't want to hurt people.
That's what I do, didn't all the money I shave for scraping the land go to the official family, and the official family was to repair Genyue and raise those 6,000 beauties, and the imperial court revenue was not enough, so I had to loot it from the people? ”
Li Yan said tremblingly.
