Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 336 Reinforcements Arrive
The fighting had begun, and corpses rolled down the slope from time to time. Time passed little by little, and the shouts of killing never stopped.

Murong Ke, who went to the front line to supervise the battle, had already discovered that the one defending the east side of the mound was Liang Jun, who had previously fought against Xian Yuliang.

"What on earth is Yao Chang doing! Why can't he break through in the face of exhausted troops?"

Murong Ke even suspected that Yao Chang was doing his job but not doing his best.

Xian Yuliang's 10,000 cavalry had experienced a fierce battle before and were now resting in the rear as a reserve. It was Yao Chang's 10,000 Qiang cavalry who took their place in attacking the east slope.

However, the Qiang people fell into a bitter battle and were unable to defeat Yang An's exhausted troops. It was not because Yao Chang was perfunctory with Murong Ke's orders, but because Yang An and his soldiers burst out with amazing willpower.

The cavalry and soldiers under Yang An's command are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. They may not know about farming or doing business, but they definitely know how to survive on the battlefield.

Once Huan Xi, as the general, saw that the situation was not good and ordered the withdrawal of troops, they were placed on the eastern battlefield as tired troops, and they would inevitably be unable to escape the pursuing troops behind them.

At that time, he will either be killed by the enemy or captured by others. From then on, he will be separated from his family and will never see each other again.

No one wanted to be a prisoner, not because Liang Jun hated the Yan Kingdom, but because of the bad impact Murong Jun had after killing Duan Xianbei's three thousand soldiers and surrendering them.

In fact, Huan Xi placed these Guanlong Tuqi in the east, secretly treating them as abandoned sons.

Yang An shouted:
"Raising an army for a thousand days is spent in a moment. Liang Gong is in danger today. Anyone from Yang on down who dares to retreat will be killed!"

The guards Yi Cong and the remaining Guanlong Tuqi guarding the south and north sides had not participated in the battle before and were still physically strong. Now that they were occupying a favorable position and defending from a high position, they naturally did not require Huan Xi to pay too much attention.

Many people even ridiculed:
"Yao Chang! Your brother Yao Xiang is watching you in the sky right now. He asked me to ask you why you couldn't move forward so bravely that day in Yecheng!"

Although Guanlong Tuqi was not taken by Huan Xi for a long time like Yi Cong of the Imperial Guard, the soldiers all recognized Huan Xi's voice. Now that he had given his personal assurance, everyone who heard it was in high spirits.

“The disabled will be taken care of by the government so that you can still live with dignity.

If there is one, there are two. No one knows whether Yan State will continue to kill prisoners. This is why Huan Xi never mistreats prisoners.

"Come on! You despicable Qiang people are willing to be the slaves of the Yan people!"

"My sons! I am right behind you and with you! You can fight the enemy with peace of mind without any worries.

"Yao Chang is now the governor of Qingzhou in the Yan Kingdom. He is so prestigious. Do you know how he got his rank?"

The soldiers under Yang An believed that once their position was lost, they would definitely die, so how could they not fight desperately.

"Wang Qi has a life, and he is not afraid of swords and axes. I just ask Mr. Liang not to forget today's promise."

Of course Huan Xi also noticed this, and he also knew that at this time, the eastern troops were struggling to support themselves by willpower alone, and he was no longer distracted by the battle situation in the south and north.

"Hmph! Didn't he just pay for it with his brother's life?"

"Falled soldiers, I will cultivate your heirs. The sacrifices you make today will be returned to your heirs multiple times in the future!"

Even though they had fought a battle before and were now physically and mentally exhausted, the soldiers gritted their teeth and persevered.

"I, Huan Xi, swear that every drop of blood you have left for me today will be rewarded, and I will never let you down!

The soldiers were inspired and shouted:
"I have been so kind to Mr. Liang for a long time, and I should repay it with my death."

It immediately aroused laughter from Liang Jun's officers and soldiers.

Of course Yao Chang could understand Chinese. The veins on his forehead popped out and he was filled with anger. Yao Chang respected his brother and couldn't stand others making fun of his dead brother.

Especially in those people's words, they were saying that he had sacrificed his brother's life to gain his current wealth. This was something Yao Chang couldn't bear.

"Push me up! Charge me up!"

Yao Chang roared. However, although this cavalry of the Qiang tribe is considered elite, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is still not as good as the Guanlong sudden cavalry. Otherwise, Yao Xiang in the original time and space would not have fought repeatedly in the north. After defeat, he was as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog, and had to take shelter in the Jin Dynasty.

At the same time, the equipment of the Qiang people was inferior to that of Xian Yuliang's Yan army, let alone Liang Jun's.

Although Yao Chang was already fighting hard, he was unable to break through Liang Jun's defense line in a short period of time.

Murong Ke had already given up his doubts about Yao Chang at this time. He also noticed that compared to the fighting on the other sides, the fighting on the east slope was more intense. Both armies were angry and suffered a lot of casualties.

Seeing that the Qiang people were still unable to advance upward, Murong Ke shouted:
"Where is Xian Yuliang!"

"The general is here!"

Xian Yuliang responded loudly.

Murong Ke asked:
"Have your soldiers regained their strength?"

Of course Xian Yuliang's cavalry did not fully recover, but he still replied:
"As long as the king gives the order, you can march forward for the king!"

Murong Ke nodded and said:

"Lead your cavalry and replace Yao Chang. Now the Liang army in the east is at the end of its strength. We must defeat it!"

"The last general takes command!"

Xian Yuliang responded confidently, and after saying that, he shouted to his soldiers to cheer up and form an attack formation. When Yao Chang retreated, he could take over the Qiang soldiers and join the battle.

At the same time, Suo Bao, who was patrolling to the west of the mound, suddenly heard the deafening sound of horse hooves coming from the west. He looked up and saw dust rising all over the sky in front of him.

Suo Bao didn't know whether the arrival was his own reinforcements or the Yu army from Li Wei who had lost news before.

The Youlang guards looked nervously at the west side. Suo Bao had already taken off his riding bow, fully drawn the bow string, and waited with bated breath to shoot the arrow in his hand at any time.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. Even if the battle on the east side of the mound was in full swing, it could not cover up the terrifying sound.

The dust filled the air, and the first rider to rush out held the flag high, and saw a big word "Liang" written on the flag.

Suo Bao put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and the Youlang guards around him all raised their arms and cheered:

"Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming!"

This hurried army was none other than the 20,000 heavy armored infantry led by Deng Qiang.

Although they changed horses once on the way, Suo Bao's eyesight was so good that he could see them from a long distance away, and those military horses were almost foaming at the mouth.

A rough estimate shows that the combined weight of people and equipment is nearly three hundred kilograms. It is normal for the army horse to run down in one breath and lose its physical strength.

Fortunately, mounted infantry are also infantry. They need to dismount and form formations to fight the enemy.

Now that they have arrived at the battlefield in time, the military horses used for the journey have naturally lost their use.
