Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Li Siyuan can only guess with "everything goes wrong, there must be a demon", but Liang Hanying seems to have the ability to read minds, completely seeing through A Baoji's little Jiujiu.

Obviously, A Baoji was about to withdraw.

To retreat is not to run away in a swarm, but to retreat.

Wanting to retreat and advance is a common routine in retreat.That is to launch an active attack first, creating an impression that they are going to fight for their lives, so that the enemy's whole body is on alert, and then feigning a move and running away suddenly can have an unexpected effect.

Or simply frighten the enemy first, so that they dare not pursue, and then retreat calmly.

The news from Anton Mansion has already arrived.The Longwu army and the Guide army attacked in two directions, and finally they advanced side by side, supporting each other, and penetrated into the Liaoyang and Xincheng areas, creating a great deterrent to the west of Liaoning.

Even the Bohai State had a rare cheer up.Wang's younger brother Da Shuxian led an army of [-] troops and stormed Fuyu Mansion. He had just lost a battle and was defeated by Liu Rengong and the Khitan cavalry, and most of the [-] pioneers were defeated.But it doesn't matter, the Bohai Navy has not retreated, and is still waiting and watching.As long as they don't flee, they can still contain the Khitan troops and put pressure on them.

In addition, the key point is that the Longwu Army's move northward to Liaoyang was too resolute, and the process was too shocking.The upper echelons of Abaoji's Khitan Eight Division will definitely try to understand the details of this battle. How does it feel in the end? Liang Hanzhuan himself took the role of a Khitan. It can only be said that it is very good. Let's retreat first and then discuss the long-term plan. Anyway, this westward advance , some face, but the inside is so-so, it's not too bad.

On August [-]th, the Privy Councilor of Bei Ya, Yang Hao, personally escorted a batch of grain and grass to Rouzhou.

"Liang Dutou, it is inconvenient for the Privy Council to intervene in the matter of marching and fighting. I just transport food, equipment, supplies, and recruit soldiers." In the Yamen of Rouzhou Prefecture, Yang Huo said very politely: "But after watching for so long, I also have some experience, so I thought about talking to Dutou."

"Master Yang Shu is an elder, so I will listen with all my ears," Liang Hanti said.

According to the system, the recruitment and dispatch of troops are under the control of the Privy Council, but once the troops are dispatched and belong to a certain camp, the Privy Council has no right to interfere with the specific marching and formation, and the retreat and advance of the battle.But that is in theory, in practice, the privy envoys still have their own influence.

"Khitan branched out to detour to the northern part of the Yin Mountain, and rushed to Nuozhenshui. It seems dangerous, but it's not a problem." Yang Hao said: "Although the elite soldiers and strong generals of the Yin Mountain tribes have been transferred away, there are many people left behind. This group of bandits is really gone. It won't do much harm if it's repelled."

Zhuan jaw head of Liang Han should be.

"Another journey to Khitan, trying to enter the Sheng and Can prefectures along the Yinshan tunnel. The soldiers from these two prefectures gathered in large numbers, and the bandits were frustrated and fled.

"Only the road to attack Shuozhou is huge." Yang Hao continued: "There are also Shatuofan soldiers and Jin army cavalry participating. There are tens of thousands of them, and the siege is fierce. Under the rescue of the Yinshan town army, dozens of battles a day, the thieves can't get a bargain, they have already retreated. Liang Dutou knows this matter better than me, so I won't say much."

"To put it simply, A Baoji wants to retreat. We know he is going to retreat. He also knows that we know that he is going to retreat." Yang Huo seemed to be twisting his tongue, but what he said was his established insights: "How is the Jin army, old man really I don’t know. But in the old man’s opinion, Li Ke’s moves are too slow. He either doesn’t get off the field, or he gets off the field at the beginning. It only shows two things. First, he doesn’t trust the Khitan people. Second, he wants to win and is afraid of losing.”

"Yang Shuxiang has seen through Li Keyong." Liang Hanying said with a smile.

Yang Hao smiled and said: "It's already August, we can't delay any longer. This is all I've said, Liang Dutou can make his own decision.

"Okay!" Liang Hanzhuan stood up and said, "Actually, yesterday I convened a discussion with all the generals, and they agreed that the Khitan has actually started. How we retreated west, the Khitan will retreat east. Maybe they have already withdrawn." It’s been a while, and they can’t let them go away so comfortably.”

"The Jin army's idiots are still foolishly attacking our army, maybe they can think of a way." Yang Huo reminded.

Liang Hanzhuan actually thought of it a long time ago.

But when Yang Chao said that, he still pretended to be

Suddenly realized, he said: "If it hadn't been for the reminder from the shuxiang, it would have been a mistake!"

Yang Chao lightly stroked his beard, smiled without saying a word.

You give me face, I give you face, everyone has face.

After parting with Yang Hao, Liang Hanzhuan rushed to the camp and issued a series of orders.

******
On the night of August [-]th, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and everything was silent.

To be honest, this season, the Daibei Grassland is already a bit cold.

When the north wind blows, it pours straight into the neck.Riding on a horse, you have to take a few mouthfuls of Shuofang Shengshao to withstand the cold energy.

Yang Hongwang, the envoy of the Silver Spear Army, put down the cowhide water bag, drew out the long spear hanging on the side of the saddle, and said loudly: "Go!

Team after team of cavalry followed behind and slowly left the camp.

In an instant, tens of thousands of horses were galloping on the grassland, soldiers were shouting, their silver guns were shining, and they attacked swiftly.The auxiliary soldiers followed silently with several horses.

Their goal is Xinghe County to the east.

The large group of Khitan cavalry gathered there, and even received news that Li Cunxiao's troops of the Jin army were active nearby.

The battalion judged that the Khitans were going to flee, and ordered all the ministries not to save their strength, and the whole army attacked.The Silver Spear Army, as the only regular cavalry unit under the jurisdiction of the Jouzhou camp, naturally wanted to be the vanguard and keep as many Khitans as possible.

The night is as cool as water, and the spear is like a forest.

After walking for a while, Khitan cavalry appeared in twos and threes around them.But compared to the past, their number has been greatly reduced, which further supports Xingying's judgment: the Khitans are going to flee, and they have even been fleeing for a while.

But is the retreat of 10,000+ troops so simple? Who will go first? Who will go later? Which route to take? Will the will to fight collapse? There are too many unpredictable factors.

The Silver Spear Army didn't care about the Khitan rangers who quickly gathered nearby.It wasn't until they got close to the harassment that a small group of people was sent to drive them away. The main force continued to move forward with a clear goal.

At the second moment of ugly time, Yang Hongwang ordered to rest.Everyone hurry up to eat some water and maintain their strength.After resting, everyone changed horses and moved on.

At three o'clock, the whole army dismounted again.

This time everyone abandoned their riding horses and replaced them with war horses.The auxiliary soldiers gradually fell behind, and the four thousand soldiers checked their bows and arrows for the last time, and then marched eastward.

When the sky was about to dawn, the Khitan cavalry had already appeared on the eastern horizon.

Obviously, after they got the news, they immediately gathered a group of people, intending to come to intercept.

"Kill the thief!" Yang Hongwang roared.

"Kill the thief!" Voices echoed one after another.

Thousands of riders rushed straight up to meet the enemy.

Arrows were flying in the air, and people on both sides kept falling from their horses.

"Raise the gun!" Yang Hongwang ordered.country
The flags were flying, and the sergeants tucked their light spears under their armpits, speeding up crazily.

The Khitan people habitually set up their formation again: some people bypassed to the north and south sides, trying to outflank from the two wings, and some people faced it head-on.

Yang Hongwang, guarded by more than a hundred personal soldiers, formed a wretched group, with hundreds of silver spears rushing forward without hesitation.

What came oncoming was dense arrows.

No one dodged, and the silver spear rushed into the enemy's formation in an instant, piercing into the enemy's chest, piercing into their lower abdomen, and piercing through the formation of cavalry and archers.

Yang Hongwang's spear got stuck between the ribs of the enemy's chest, so he let go, took out the bow from his waist, and fired again and again.

As soon as the bowstring rang, the enemy fell in response.

After the corpse of the thief rider was dragged on the ground for a while, the spear was released suddenly and broke away from the corpse.

Yang Hongwang put down his riding bow and raised his spear again.

The soldiers followed behind, waving flags again and again.

The soldiers of the Silver Spear Army gathered quickly and followed closely behind.

The sound of piercing through the air continued to sound, and the Khitan people used their best tricks, shooting repeatedly from the middle distance.

Not

A knight of the Silver Spear Army was shot and fell to the ground, and the horse screamed and ran away into the distance.

"Raise the gun!" Yang Hongwang ordered again.

Thousands of riders raised their spears obliquely.

The dragon turned around and charged again.

The Khitan subconsciously dodged the charging Xia army cavalry and shot arrows desperately on both sides.

"Kill the thief!"

"Kill the thief!"

The Silver Spear Army aimed at the place where the Khitan cavalry gathered and accelerated crazily.

Finally, some Khitan people stopped avoiding them.They took out Guduo, iron swords, and spears, and went head-on.

The two sides collided again.

As soon as the silver spear rushed past, hundreds of Khitan cavalry who dared to fight in close quarters were knocked out of their wits.

Where the silver gun passed, a large herd of horses running empty was created, and the visual effect was extremely shocking.

In the collision between cavalry archers and melee cavalry, no one is superior or inferior. The fight is about the will to fight, and the fight is about who can bear the casualties better.

"Raise the gun!" Yang Hongwang ordered for the third time.

The knights of the Silver Spear Army tilted their spears expressionlessly.

The warhorse panted heavily.They also seem to have lost their temper, staring at the opposite kind with fierce and unspeakable eyes, preparing to charge again.

"Kill the thief!"

"Kill the thief!"

The third charge begins.

The Khitan's arrows became more and more sparse, and the number of Roman Xia soldiers was greatly reduced during the charge. "

"Boom!" The charging silver gun group smashed and scattered the last gathered "cluster".

The Khitan people finally couldn't bear it anymore.They spread out even further, and some were still steadily controlling the distance from the Xia army cavalry, trying to shoot the enemy with arrows; When many people saw the cavalry of the Xia army heading towards them, they turned their horses and fled the battlefield without saying a word.

What a joke! Even though so many people were shot down during the charge, they still charged forward regardless of the casualties. Who could stand up to such a desperate attack?
They don't compete with you in archery or riding, they just bet their lives with you.

Grass! Crazy! Rough warrior!
"Guns up!" came the fourth command.

"Swipe!" The Silver Spear Jungle is extremely dazzling in the rising sun.

The last wave of Khitans on the battlefield also rode their horses and fled.
