Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 117 The Great Victory
The sun was rising high, shining brightly on the armor of the officers and soldiers in front of the battle.Standing on the top of the mountain, Wang Xiaolie felt a little dazzling.

With Shuai Qi pointing forward, Shao Ling led 150 cavalry and rushed towards Yang Jin's formation like the wind.When I arrived at the front of the formation, I saw that the enemy's formation was not in a panic, so I changed direction temporarily, crossed the front of the formation, and reached the other side.

Wang Xiaolie saw it on the mountain, changing the commander's flag at any time, directing the cavalry's combat direction.

Sometimes, Wang Xiaolie had an impulse to let the cavalry charge straight up.No matter how Yang Jin's first army defends, keep an eye on it and fight with all your strength.They are a mob, can they block their soldiers?But he knew in his heart that these three hundred cavalry were his entire family property, and once there was a loss, it would be difficult to make up for it.After having a territory, it is no longer the way of ignoring it a few months ago.

After sweeping in front of Yang Jin's formation several times in a row, Yang Jin's formation was a little flustered.Temporarily forcing a strong man to join the army, this kind of performance is already very good.Wang Xiaolie's request for his own army was nothing more than this.

Looking at the sun in the sky, Wang Xiao said: "There is no blood on the battlefield, it will not work after all. After fighting for so long, no one from Yang Jin's army has come to attack. It seems that he has decided to defend to the death. Order Shao Ling , Straight to the enemy's right flank! No matter what happens, keep going!"

The soldiers next to him agreed.Commanded by the handsome flag, ordered Shao Ling to rush forward.

Looking at the 150 cavalry like hammers, they hit the right wing of Yang Jin's army.For a moment, there was blood.

Today, there is no cloud in the sky, and the sun hangs overhead, shedding thousands of golden lights.Although the battle was fierce in the front, Wang Xiaolie in the rear couldn't hear much noise and felt empty.The formation of Xie Linong and Yu Huan remained motionless under the sun.

This feeling is completely different from when Wang Xiaolie led his troops into battle a few months ago.At that time, with a rush of blood, I just rushed forward, even forgetting about life and death.Now he is far away from the front line and pays attention to the war at any time.

After all, Yang Jin's troops were bandits and bandits. Under Shao Ling's attack, the formation began to become chaotic.Seeing that the situation was not good, the main general hurriedly dispatched troops from the left wing to assist.For a while, the army formation was a little chaotic.

Wang Xiaolie looked up at the sun in the sky and took a long breath.Said: "Order Niu Gao to attack the enemy's left flank!"

As the commander-in-chief's flag was raised and the horn blared, Niu Gao's troops on the southern hillside rushed down the mountain like flying, and rushed straight to the left flank of Yang Jin's formation.Like the wind, in the blink of an eye, it hit the army formation.

The two armies marched left and right, and within a cup or two of tea time, Yang Jin's army formation became chaotic.

The handsome flag beside Wang Xiaolie rolled up and pointed straight ahead.Xie Linong and Yu Huan in the rear rushed forward with infantry and drums.In just one shot, it didn't take long to fight with Yang Jin's army.

Wang Xiaolie took a breath, feeling a little dazed for a moment.I always feel that I should be on the front line, risking my life to kill.In fact, with thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, such opportunities are rare.

The army of the Song Dynasty generally required the chief general to rush to the front.Nearby was Zhai Jin who was killed in battle, and far away was Liu Ping who was captured by Hao Shuichuan.If luck is bad, the commander may die or be captured, and the army will be in chaos.

Wang Xiaolie knew that when the two armies were at war, the commander should not go to the front line.The coach is on the front line, who will command?Once the coach has an accident, the organization of the entire army will be disbanded.The habits of the Song Army have been inherited from the Five Dynasties, and many things cannot be speculated with common sense.

In less than half an hour, Yang Jin's army was defeated and retreated towards Minggao Mountain.

Together with Cao Zhiyan's army, Wang Xiaolie followed his own army and chased and killed them all the way.It was not until three miles away from Minggao Mountain that they stopped.

In the afternoon, Zhai Cong arrived with the rest of Wang Xiaolie's army.Seeing Wang Xiaolie, I was extremely excited.

Seeing Wang Xiaolie, Zhai Cong crossed his hands and said, "Zhizhou has won a complete victory today, and Yang Jin's army is really vulnerable! Another bloody battle tomorrow may occupy Minggao Mountain and wipe out the bandit army!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Yanei, it is Yang Jin's partial division that is fighting us today. Now that we are at the foot of Minggao Mountain, it is the main army. You have fought Yang Jin for more than a month, and you should know that he is not easy to fight."

Zhai Cong said: "You can't say that. We are confronting Yang Jin Jiahe, and we have to cross the Yi River in every battle. It is winter now, and the river is icy cold. It is not easy to cross the river. It will be different when you enter the Minggao Mountain! How easy is it to cross the Yihe River if you keep it in check!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Let's just watch it. Ya Nei, today is a big victory, let's drink to celebrate."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the army to slaughter sheep and prepare wine for reward.Together with several military commanders, the generals and soldiers at all levels below have wine and meat, and the number varies according to the rank.This place is fifty or sixty miles away from Ruzhou, and the transportation of grain and grass is relatively easy.

Wang Xiaolie feels that the supply of materials at this time is not as difficult as he imagined.Although after the war, Ruzhou can still supply its own [-] troops, it's just that it needs to live less.With the army outside, they can still have wine and meat.

The population at this time is far less dense than later generations, and many things are different.Especially compared with the anti-Japanese period, the people's food is not so tight, the land is still very loose, and the productivity is not far behind.If the management is good, there should be no shortage of money and food.

After entering the handsome tent, everyone sat down and served wine.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Wang Xiao said: "Today we won a complete victory, and we are at the foot of Minggao Mountain. Congratulations! Prepare some wine and meat today, everyone can relax and get drunk! By the way, Shao Ling should not drink too much , you are on duty tonight."

Shao Ling crossed his hands and sang promises.

This is a system that has been formed long ago. There must be generals on duty in the army.It can't be said that the general is drunk, and the whole army doesn't know what to do.There are generals on duty who are temporarily in power and can deal with emergencies.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Today's battle was clearly seen. In fact, Yang Jin's army cannot fight hard. As long as we are determined, it is not too difficult to break up their formation. By the way, what are the casualties today?"

Shao Ling said: "Of my 150 cavalrymen, 28 were killed in battle and 37 were injured. Thirteen horses were injured, and I'm afraid they will never be used as combat horses. Alas, these horses are not easy to come by, what a pity!"

Zhai Cong on the side said: "In such a big battle, what are a dozen horses! If you defeat Yang Jin, I will give you fifty horses!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "If that's the case, I would like to thank Ya Nei. To be honest, a few months ago, I fought a battle with the Jin army and got dozens of horses. Later, after many things and various collections, I got another horse. The Taiwei donated soldiers, and only made up [-] horses."

Zhai Cong said: "The Jinren have so many war horses! As long as they win a few games, there will be no shortage."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "What Ya Nei said is true. I just want to defeat the Jinren. It's not easy."

The Jin army does not necessarily rely on cavalry to fight.But when they attack, almost all the main soldiers have horses, and they often have several horses per soldier.A big victory against the Jin soldiers can indeed get many horses.It's just that it is not easy for the current Song army to win the battle against the Jin army.

Niu Gao's army also lost about 30 horses and more than [-] soldiers.The loss of the rest of the infantry was not much, only a dozen people.Because in the end it is a rout battle, with more enemies killed and less losses.

Xie Linong said: "This battle beheaded more than [-] people and captured more than [-] people. It can be regarded as a big victory. Zhizhou, what about the prisoners of war?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Most of these prisoners of war were stabbed into the army by Yang Jinqiang, which is pitiful. Don't treat them harshly, wait until after the war and return to Ruzhou to deal with them. Whether they are incorporated into the army or sent to the farmland, there will always be usefulness."

Several people said yes together.

Captured officers and soldiers can be incorporated into their own troops. This is the practice at this time, and many armies have grown in this way.But Wang Xiaolie didn't dare, it had to be transformed.My current army does not have the ability to transform prisoners, so I have to find another way.

Many times, Wang Xiaolie felt that the facts were different from what he thought.Obviously, what I feel is easy to do, but it is extremely difficult to do in reality.Things that are obviously good for the people actually don't get much support.Even in many practices, I took over the successful methods from my previous life, but they were not understood.

All in all, Wang Xiaolie felt that there was always a gap between himself and the world.A lot of knowledge learned in the previous life, it is clearly written in the books to do this, once you do it, you will be supported, but the fact is not like that.

After talking about today's battle, everyone in the commander's tent chanted heartily, eating meat and drinking heavily.Sitting there, Wang Xiaolie was drinking with everyone, but he always felt a little uncomfortable, feeling that something was missing.

Not far away at Dazhai at the foot of Minggao Mountain, Yang Jin looked at the retreating generals with a stern voice.If it wasn't for one of them being his brother-in-law, Yang Jin would have pushed them all out and beheaded them.Now Wang Xiaolie has been forced to the Yishui River, echoing Zhai Xingyao on the other side, and his situation is in danger.

After scolding a few people out, Yang Jin drank alone in the tent.

When the willows were on the top of the moon, a soldier came in, crossed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there are two people outside asking to see you. It is said that there is important news, and you can let the attacking Wang Xiao hunt down an army, and you will be defeated!"

Yang Jin raised his head, and snorted coldly: "You're so bragging! Let them in. If it's just a lie, it's just a matter of borrowing their heads!"

Not long after, Fang Youming and Cheng Yasi entered the commander's tent and saluted Yang.

Looking at Fang Youming, Yang Jin said coldly: "I remember you. He said he has contacts in Ruzhou and can do great things. Come back to see me this time, but you are ready. Do you want to clean up Wang Xiaolie?"

Fang Youming said: "Borrowing the power of the great king, that's exactly the case. This Cheng Yasi has been an official in Ruzhou for many years, what can't he do?"

Yang Jin looked at the two of them.After a while, he slowly said: "Okay! I can clean up Wang Xiaolie, and I will not forget your benefits!"
