Han Hai Tang Ergui

Yanshi, which can be regarded as one of the oldest cities on this land, was built by King Wu of Zhou in the past, which meant to stop the Rongshi.

As if it was God's will in the dark, in the following thousands of years, Yanshi really managed to stop Yan Rongshi.

Because as the east gate of Luoyang, the city of Yanshi, which stopped the army, is often the prelude to the capture of Luoyang. Most of the rebels coming from the east will repair here, and then go straight to Luoyang.

Since the end of Tang Dynasty, Yanshi has become the hardest-hit area of ​​war.

Since Tang Zhuangzong Xingjiaomen's change, in 29 years, six emperors changed, Luoyang city was destroyed five times, and Yanshi was also destroyed five times, one of which was less than six years.

Oh no!In addition to the two times since the battle between Yong and Liao, it should be broken seven times in 29 years, and now, it is likely to be the eighth time.

A slight morning breeze blows, and outside Yanshi City, smoke from the four fields rises. Yelude Guang personally led [-] horsemen, and marched eastward from Gong County. The army was divided into front, middle and rear armies, and came steadily along the Yiluo River .

But before the army arrived, the Khitan's far-reaching scouts blocked thousands of Qingqi riders, and they scattered all over the place. They provided a good scouting and covering effect for the advancing Khitan army.

At the same time, thousands of cavalry were also scattered from Yongliang's Yi Cong Xiaoqi. These cavalry were selected from the Liugu tribe of Lianglan, the Qiang parties in Shuofang, and even the various ethnic groups in Moxi. They were very powerful in combat.

Don't look at them as Yi Cong Xiaoqi, they don't seem to be considered regular troops.

But in fact, the reason why Yongliang was able to mobilize so many Yi Cong Xiaoqi, apart from his own custom of martial arts and many war horses.

In fact, it was because of Yong State's finances that it could not afford to support too many organized cavalry, so they could only be allowed to appear as righteous cavalry.

A distant scout horse from the Liao army was repairing by a small stream, and they generally used twenty cavalry as a combat unit.

Among them are two regular soldiers, and those who can be regular soldiers are generally members of the Khitan core tribe.

Even a light cavalry soldier like Yanzima would carry a longbow and a hornbow, three horses, and two servants.

However, after the southern invasion, the replenishment of war horses was not very timely, and a large number of our own people from the north were needed to guard everywhere, so now the main soldiers are equipped with two horses and one servant.

In addition to the two regular soldiers, there are four Fanhan transferred Ding cavalry.

The so-called Fan Han Zhuan Ding is similar to the flag bearers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, not necessarily Han people, but also Bohai people, female straight people, and even Korean people.

One of the Zhengbing led two Fanhan Zhuanding, and each of the two Fanhan Zhuanding led three cavalry.

There are many sources of cavalry, including soldiers from other ethnic groups who are not yet qualified to become soldiers, and there are also Khitans who are not yet able to become regular soldiers.

On top of this, four regular soldiers, that is, forty cavalry, form a team, commanded by the team commander, and continue to be officials such as military academy, junior general, general, and supervisor.

By the creek, the weather in July is already a bit hot. Of the twenty Liao soldiers, ten of them took out the sackcloth they carried with them by the creek, and wiped the sweat from their faces and necks. Irrigate with water.

The remaining ten people are all on horseback, and two people are on the front and rear hills to guard.It was their turn to wait for the ten people in the stream to finish wiping off their sweat and drinking the water.

The Khitan soldier who was on guard was a man with dimples on his face. He looked very young, but in fact he was only 21 years old. The dimples on his face were the indelible mark brought to him by the cold wind in Mobei.

Zheng Bing's expression was not very good, and he was muttering something in his mouth.

The weather in the Southern Dynasties is too hot, if it is in my hometown Jinshan (near Qiqihar), it is still very cool at this time.

Zhengbing scoffed at the emperor's desire to stay in the Central Plains. What do those big shots think?What is there to stay in this hot and humid Southern Dynasty?

It is said that the Southern Dynasty was rich, but in Zhengbing's view, except for a few larger towns, the households are very poor, and there is nothing to grab.

"Maybe they were rich before, at least they had a lot of beautiful houses, but they are poor now!"

The soldier was still muttering, but he was overheard by another soldier who came up from the river. He clapped his hands and said with a smile.

"Ah! People in the Southern Dynasty are already very rich, and now they are fighting everywhere. Last time my elder brother followed the emperor's younger brother to fight against Korea, but they didn't get anything."

Ah La curled her lips, "But the Koreans are easy to fight! They run away when they are scared, and they only go into the woods. We just need to rush in and knock them over like roe deer.

People from the Southern Dynasties are not good, they are all very fierce, and many of them are good at archery, if you don't pay attention, you will be attacked.I think there are more than a dozen bolts of cloth in Fanhan Zhuanding, so I should go back early. "

The other soldier chuckled, "Your family, Mosi, is a well-known beauty, of course you want to go back.

But other people, many of them robbed women from the Southern Dynasties. They were afraid that they would not be able to support them if they took them back, so how could they be willing to leave?

I heard that the supervisor tuolie robbed hundreds of beauties, and listened to music and plays every day, how could he be willing to leave? "

Zhengbing said two times in a row how he would be willing to leave, and Ah La's face was depressed when he heard it.

His wife Mosi was pregnant when he left, and now the child is probably crying, what does it look like?
Ah La sighed in his heart, and was about to call the soldiers under his command to enjoy the coolness in the stream, when he looked up, he saw that the sentry he had placed on the mountain to the west suddenly shook twice, and then he and his horse came up from the hill. Crazy rushed down.

"Not good! There are thieves!"

A'la let out a loud roar, and immediately turned back on his horse to meet him, and the Khitan cavalry in the stream also hurried up.

Sensei covered his neck with both hands, blood had already started gushing out between his fingers, and it flowed everywhere.

He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but when he opened his mouth, blood and foam also gushed out of his mouth.

Horseshoes burst out, just when Ah'a saw clearly where the sentry shot the arrow, a dozen cavalrymen suddenly appeared in the distance.

Ah La's face darkened, and he didn't care about the sentry, but waved his hands quickly and shouted.

"Go up! Go up!"

The opponent's horse speed has already risen, and he will definitely not be able to run when he turns around. Only by facing him up, can he have a chance of survival in a frontal impact, and it can also buy some time for his comrades who are still on the horse behind.

The eight riders were at a great disadvantage against the eighteen riders, but Ah La still raised his horse bow without fear.

The cavalry rushing from the opposite side was very silent, this is the characteristic of the Yongliang cavalry, silent like a machine, Ah La's legs were lightly clamped, and then turned slightly to the left, and the horses were very tacitly accelerated to the left.

Taking advantage of the very short time when the horse turned sideways, A'la suddenly let go, and the arrow in his hand shot out.

At this time, the rain of arrows on the opposite side had also been shot, and Ala Ba's horse walked away quickly, and the arrows on the opposite side suddenly fell through the air.

But at the moment when he felt happy, there was a muffled sound from the opposite side.

He reluctantly turned his head to look, and it turned out that the cavalry on the opposite side had a small iron-covered buckler tied to his arm. He didn't need to pull his horse to go astray, and directly caught the arrow with the small iron shield.

"What a powerful bandit!" A'la shouted.

Because he knew that those who dared to use the small round shield on their arms to catch arrows must have a lot of experience to be able to stay calm in times of crisis. Of course, they also had to be very lucky.

Zhang Xiaobao was so startled that cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he felt his entire back was cool.

When he heard the sound of breaking through the sky, he felt that it was too late, and subconsciously stretched out his arm to block it, and it was blocked.

After being frightened, he became angry. He was encouraged by his father and brother's bravery, and he felt that he had never lost face like this before.

In a fit of rage, he picked up two arrows, but found that the captive who shot him had already run away, so he directly vented his anger on the other Khitans.

The arrows shot out like beads, and the arrows on the opposite side also shot again. The Khitans suffered a disadvantage in numbers, and once fought eighteen against eight, the number of arrows was more than doubled.

In a short period of twenty or so breaths, the two sides shot hundreds of arrows, Zhang Xiaobiao was hit by three arrows, and only one of his comrades crawled on the horse, apparently seriously injured.

But out of the eight Khitans, five disappeared immediately, and the remaining three had no choice but to draw out their long sabers in despair.

Zhang Xiaobao also pulled out the ring-shoudao from his waist, which was used for horse fighting, and the sound of several sharp objects piercing into the body sounded, and the three Khitan cavalrymen were cut to pieces in an instant.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, the remaining dozen or so riders on the opposite side had already seized the high ground, and drew out their bows and arrows to point at them.

Zhang Xiaobao also discovered that the Khitan soldier who almost shot him was also among them.

Most of the Yicong Xiaoqi are light cavalry, so it is not a good choice to charge the enemy who occupies a good location.

Without armor, even a horse bow can cause fatal damage.

Zhang Xiaobao sneered, and jumped off the horse directly. He took out the copper tire and iron back bow given by his brother Zhang Xiaobiao, and then shook his finger.

"Ten people dismounted, and the rest exchanged for spears!"

Zhang Xiaobao wanted to use his infantry to deal with the cavalry occupying a favorable position on the opposite side.

The strength of this kind of step bow is generally more than one stone, which is much stronger than that of a riding bow.

Ah La's face sank immediately, and the opposite party was as expected, with a lot of experience

Another soldier beside him approached A'la and said in a low voice: "We can't dismount. If we dismount, the cavalry on the opposite side are armed with long spears, and they will definitely come to charge."

Ah La nodded to show that he knew, as soon as the two of them met, they knew what the other wanted to do.

In a few words, Zhang Xiaobao had led nine dismounted cavalry to approach, with a copper-tired and iron-backed bow weighing more than one stone, well-made arrow shafts, and arrows swishing out, like messengers from hell.

Ah La and another soldier pulled out their horses' heads silently, and they ran six or seven steps before they shouted.

"withdraw!"

The rest of the Fanhan Zhuanding, who had just woken up from a dream, turned their horses around quickly, but it was too late.

Yicong Xiaoqi, who hadn't dismounted, had already chased after him. Amidst cursing and crying, the Khitan fell off their horses one after another.

Zhang Xiaobiao didn't care about others, but began to speed up after riding his horse. He still wanted to kill the Khitan soldier who almost shot him.

But as soon as he turned over this small hill, Zhang Xiaobiao immediately stopped his horse.

In the distance, there is the vast Great Plain, and the wide Yiluo River has a panoramic view.

Countless Khitan cavalry and infantry were flying various brightly colored banners, one square formation after another was pressing forward.

The surrounding horses are everywhere like flying bees, and the boats on the Yiluo water are connected back and forth, full of food, grass and luggage.

Someone had already spotted them, a flag waved left and right twice, and at least two hundred riders came out of the front phalanx and came towards them.

"We've found the main force of the Khitan people. Eighteen miles east of Yanshi, we'll cross Guoling immediately and disperse to break through. We must pass the news back!"

Zhang Xiaobao yelled, and before he even had time to cut off the head, he pulled up his horse and left.
