Chapter 166: Decisive Victory

"Wooβ€”β€”β€”β€”"

The long sound of the horn echoed over the fields in the Black Water Valley.

Gao Yingxiang was wearing battle armor, holding a whip in his left hand and an order in his right hand, standing on the high ground in front of him.

Behind him, a purple dach was constantly drumming in the wind.

The trumpet is flying, and the flag is swaying.

After the Great Silk, there is a large endless forest of spears.

The patches of cold and cold rays almost want to reflect the cold and gloomy sky.

These soldiers on foot and with guns were the horses in the intruder's sequence, and instead of riding their horses, they placed them in the rear.

Being able to ride a horse and being able to ride a horse are completely different things, the road is muddy and the war horse is difficult to walk, and the last section is better than walking on your feet.

And they are going to fight a tough battle, not a field battle.

"Rumbleβ€”"

The hooves of the horses trampled the ground, setting up countless mud spots and grass clippings.

On horseback, the elite cavalry of the intruders dressed in gray roasted quickly from the flanks of the battlefield.

Gao Yingxiang raised his head and stared at the dark sky.

At this time, it was raining lightly in Heishuiyu, and faint thunder was heard from time to time in the distance.

The clouds began to converge again, sweeping from afar like black clouds crushing the city.

Shuntian King He Guoguang, Thousand Rooster Zhang Er, and Drill Sky Harrier Wang Cheng came to Gao Yingxiang's side one after another.

Their arrival made Gao Yingxiang's gaze roll slightly.

Gao Yingxiang did not turn his head to look at them, but lowered his head and set his eyes on the camp set up by the officers and soldiers at Heishui Yukou not far away.

"This is our last chance......"

Gao Yingxiang's voice was hoarse and low.

"Reinforcements from officers and soldiers have arrived, and all the frontier elite cavalry, and the follow-up troops should arrive soon."

"If you can't get out, Heishuiyu is the place where you and I are buried."

Gao Yingxiang clenched the command flag in his hand, and in the last round of attack, he broke the gate of the Yukou camp with the lives of more than 500 elite horsemen.

It was already about to completely break the camp set up by the officers and soldiers at Yukou.

But at the last moment, Cao Bianjiao led a large group of cavalry suddenly came from outside the valley to kill the generals, and instantly dispersed the troops he sent out to attack the camp.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

In the entire seventy-two battalions, there is no one who is not afraid of Cao Wenzhao, and no one is not afraid of Cao Bianjiao.

Originally, because of an ambush and being trapped in the valley, the morale of the army was terrible.

And the arrival of Cao Bianjiao made fear spread like a plague, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back, triggering the collapse of the army.

It wasn't until he retreated to Xianyou Temple that Gao Yingxiang regrouped his army.

"If this battle is lost again, the morale of the army will never return......"

Gao Yingxiang's expression was gloomy, and this time his eyes glanced at the left and right.

"The first wave of the main attack will be the Ma army under my command to storm the Yukou camp, you only need to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to block the soldiers in the Beishan officer and soldier camp."

"I will send three thousand elite cavalry to protect your flank, and if Cao Bianjiao comes, the elite cavalry under my command will entangle him."

"At this time, don't keep the mind of preserving your strength anymore......"

Zhang Er and Wang Cheng both surrendered their orders.

"King Chuang."

But He Guoguang did not respond to the task assigned to him by Gao Yingxiang, but stepped forward a little and spoke.

He Guoguang's expression was sluggish, his face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and now there were only more than 400 elite horsemen left under his command, and the number of horse troops was only 300, and the rest of the soldiers were already trapped outside the valley of Heishuiyu.

"I only have more than 700 horsemen under me, and my morale is no longer there, but I am afraid that the officers and soldiers will collapse directly as soon as the artillery bombards."

"Let us follow you to the Yukou camp, I will be the pioneer and pave the way for you......"

He Guoguang's eyes were dark, and his tone was low and weak.

His words also caused the crowd to fall silent for a moment.

"Okay, this time you will be the pioneer of Dayukou, and I will send the elite rider to follow you forward."

Gao Yingxiang lowered his head and responded to He Guoguang's request.

"Boom β€”β€”β€”β€”"

Thunder rolled in the sky, and a gust of wind struck.

Rolling up the countless flags behind Gao Yingxiang, the weather is no longer hot, it has rained for several days, and the temperature is getting colder and colder.

Zhang Er, Wang Cheng, and He Guoguang had already left Gao Yingxiang's side and galloped towards the positions of their respective soldiers and horses, preparing for this last wave of attacks.

Now the rain seems to be heavier again, and the rainwater drops fall on the top of the helmet, making a crisp sound, which is heard by Gao Yingxiang.

The rain slid down the top of the helmet and finally dripped down the rim of the helmet.

Gao Yingxiang stretched out his hand and caught the dripping rain.

The continuous rain made the roads muddy, and the road up the hill was even worse.

They could only attack the camp at Yukou, and the price to pay for attacking the mountain was too great for him to pay.

Gao Yingxiang looked at the rain in his hand and had mixed feelings in his heart.

The time and place have not been on his side before.

The second half of the plank road had been rainy and rainy, and it took them a longer time to get out of the plank road.

Soon after he walked out of the plank road, the rain stopped, and the officers and soldiers laid an ambush outside the valley and used a large number of artillery and firearms, causing him heavy losses.

The continuous attack lasted for a long time, but it never rained, and the officers and men mobilized artillery to occupy the high ground and hold the road crossing, and there was no conflict at all.

And now that it was finally going to rain, and when Tianshi was on his side, reinforcements from the officers and soldiers were about to arrive......

Gao Yingxiang's heart was gloomy, and he only felt that there was a big stone pressing on his heart, and it was difficult to breathe.

The low sound of the horn in the ears came slowly from all directions, which was the sound of the flags after the battalions and teams arrived at their positions.

The trumpets sounded one after another, seventeen in a row.

Gao Yingxiang also readjusted his mood, now is not the time to complain, everything still has a chance!

"Wooβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”"

An extremely high horn sounded suddenly, and an ochre-yellow flag behind Gao Yingxiang was suddenly shaken.

In an instant, more than 30,000 soldiers rushed towards the front like a flood that broke the embankment.

Cast into the place of death and then survive, fall into the place of death and then live.

At this time, they had fallen into a desperate situation, and the officers and soldiers had an attitude of encircling and annihilating them all.

Nobody wants to die, they all want to live, none of them want to die.

Gao Yingxiang encouraged them in this way.

At this time, the intrusive army regained its strength and the whole army was exhausted, and they were already completely in madness and ready to fight desperately.

……

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Go north to the mountainside, the Ming army camp.

The high-pitched and passionate sound of war drums slowly spread in all directions, resounding in the sky above Heishuiyu.

The drummer stood naked in the rain, beating the war drum in front of him.

In the past few formations, Sun Chuanting has been in the front in person, and has not sat in the Chinese army.

Since taking over the station, under his command, the Ming army has won two battles and two victories, beheaded the enemy's first horse race, beheaded 1,300 people, and captured more than 5,000 enemies.

He has proved with his actions that he is not a civilian official who can only read military books, but really has the talent of a general.

The thunder has died down, and the rain has continued.

Sun Chuanting wore armor and swords, standing on the watchtower built a little behind the camp gate.

A group of robes, garments, dutifully sanitation, were under the watchtower.

The two military camps in Beishan and Yukou have already been boiling.

Sun Chuanting stood on the lookout like a needle of the sea god, facing the intruding army and cavalry surging like a tide, no one was afraid, no one panicked, and no one flinched.

In the North Mountain camp, the battalion soldiers of the brigade were running quickly towards the bottom of the mountain along the mountain road, galloping to the camp below the mountain.

At the mouth of the valley, Li Yuchun led the battalion soldiers to guard the camp, and a large number of soldiers stood on the camp wall in the camp, and they blocked the direction of the valley.

After the camp, there were still four or five hundred cavalry of the Ming army, and all the fish that slipped through the net could not escape their pursuit.

In front of the Yukou camp, a large number of auxiliary guards were braving the heavy rain to dig ravines and place all kinds of obstacles.

Cao Bianjiao also led the cavalry out of the camp to fight, and he led more than a thousand cavalry to line up in a large formation, not far in front of the camp.

On the gentle area in the rainy Heishui Valley, several groups of hundreds of Ming cavalry wearing red armor were chasing and fighting with the elite cavalry of the Chuang army wearing gray armor.

The large array of the invading army slowly pressed, and more than 30,000 intruding horses and cavalry came in a mixed manner, and they were ready to make this last fight.

"Half an Hour ......"

Sun Chuanting turned his head and glanced in the direction of Yuwai, it had only been a quarter of an hour since Cao Bianjiao brought it, and it would take about three quarters to hold on.

Three quarters of an hour is not too long, but it is not too short.

There is a cloud in the art of war, and the siege must be lost.

Surround its three sides, when it is not on one side, so the way to show life is also.

If you surround all sides, the enemy will see that there is no way to live, and they will fight the trapped beasts and resist desperately.

And if you let go of a way out, then the enemy will be bent on fleeing, and thus lose the fighting spirit.

Sun Chuanting read through the art of war, and he naturally knew that he needed to surround the army.

But he didn't dare to let go of any of them.

Because he couldn't give Gao Yingxiang any chance to escape.

Gao Yingxiang is a fierce tiger, once the tiger returns to the mountain, there will be endless troubles.

The rain fell again, and it fell heavier and heavier, and the artillery and guns in the army were no longer usable, which greatly weakened the ability to fight.

This battle will be a face-to-face, close-quarters white-knuckle battle.

In this battle, the competition was the blood of the soldiers of the two armies.

The guards were unbearable, and Sun Chuanting naturally would not pin all his hopes on the guards.

He sent a thousand-man supervising battalion in advance to rush to the aid of Yukou.

Sun Chuanting sighed in his heart, but it was a pity that the time for the Governor Battalion under his command to form the army was too late, if he was given some more time, he would be able to have more confidence in this battle.

"Kill!!"

Suddenly there was a tsunami-like shouting sound from the bottom of the mountain.

Sun Chuanting's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked back in the direction of the mountain.

The cavalry led by Cao Bianjiao was already in contact with the elite cavalry of the invading army, entangled in a fight.

The soldiers and horses of the intruding army were mixed together, desperately blocking the advance of the cavalry led by Cao Bianjiao and interfering with the large array.

The intruders of the brigade were arrayed under the North Mountain, between the North Mountain camp and the Yukou camp, and there were many elite horsemen wandering behind the formation, trying to isolate the two camps.

At the position of the valley, the intruding infantry of the brigade was climbing over the ravine and moving away from the horses.

They waded through the muddy ground and struggled to push forward.

Looking down from a high position, everywhere you see is the heads of the intruding army, and the field of vision is full of soldiers who are like a tide.

Sun Chuanting's face was calm, and he continued to issue military orders one after another, commanding the battalions under his command to meet the battle and contain the forces of the invading army.

Do your best, An Tianfang, he can only do what he needs to do now.

As for everything that follows, success or defeat is a matter for God......

Sun Chuanting looked at the surging intruding soldiers, he frowned, the battle was so anxious that he forgot the most critical part.

In the letter Chen Wang transmitted, it was written that he followed Gao Yingxiang all the way along Fu Luo Road.

Judging from the current situation, Gao Yingxiang did not find Chen Wang.

And for so long, Sun Chuanting has not found any clues in Heishuiyu.

There was silence in Fu Luo Road, and there was no sound between the mountains on all sides of Heishui Valley.

At this time, the army brigade moved forward, fighting in short combat, if Chen Wang led the soldiers and horses to attack the rear team of the army, it would inevitably make it difficult to take care of the head and tail......

……

In the forests of the western mountains of Heishuiyu, Chen Wang, who was remembered by Sun Chuanting, was taking over his own Three Flags Moon Bright Helmet from the hands of his guards at this time and wearing it on the top of his head.

Chen Wang put on his helmet, and then tightened the belt around his waist again.

After confirming that everything was complete, Chen Wang pressed the saddle with his hand, and in just one step, he turned over and jumped onto the back of his jujube red horse.

The jujube red horse under the seat felt that the master had ridden up, and shook the horse's head slightly.

Chen Wang held the reins and gently patted the neck of the jujube red horse under him.

This jujube red horse was a congratulatory gift from Cao Wenzhao, congratulating him on his promotion to the general of Hanzhong.

It is a famous horse bought from a horse merchant in the northwest, and it is much taller than an ordinary war horse, and its body is more robust.

Chen Wang lowered his head and looked through the gap in the woods to the mouth of the Heishui Valley under the mountain.

At the mouth of Heishuiyu, now the Chuang army and the Ming army are already close to each other and are entangled together.

The army was dense like ants, like mountains and seas, wave after wave constantly impacting the Ming army camp in Yukou, as if they were never tired.

From the very beginning, the battle was already at a fever pitch.

Chen Wang tilted his head and glanced left and right.

Zhao Huailiang and Chen Gong were both wearing helmets and armor, waiting for his military orders, and the soldiers behind them were also focusing on him.

Chen Wang clenched the horse lance in his hand, took a deep breath, and gently clamped the horse's belly with his legs.

"Drive!"

Under the guidance of the reins, the war horse slowly walked towards the outside of the forest.

At first it was a small step, then it got faster and faster, and it became a trot.

Behind him, Zhao Huailiang and Chen Gong, together with a group of armored horses, also drove the war horses under the seat and walked forward.

The rain is coming in and the wind is caressing against it.

Chen Wang looked ahead, holding the horse lance in his hand, and crossed the trees one by one.

The short-handed encounter between the two armies of the Chuang army and the Ming army in Heishuiyu attracted everyone's attention.

No one noticed that on the western slope of Heishuiyu, a group of cavalry was slowly stepping out of the woods.
