Dawn of the Empire

Chapter 510 94 Xunyang full of Jingzhan -9

More than a thousand Liao cavalry followed Ta Baishi closely and came into view. The Song Army cavalry in ambush couldn't help holding their breath. Several war horses sensed their master's emotions and wanted to stand up uneasily. Zhang Xian stared coldly behind the hill. Next, all the cavalry of the Tabai Battalion had passed by, and the vanguard of more than a thousand Liao cavalry had just galloped down the hill, when Zhang Xian suddenly shouted: "Get on your horse!"

In an instant, the Beiwei battalion cavalry jumped on their horses, shouted, and rushed down the mountain.The speed of the horses is getting faster and faster, the blades of the carbine are shining in the sun, and the wind is whistling. Zhang Xian, who was taken the lead, will pick him off.

"Damn it!" Yelu also had a flash in his mind, and shouted in his mouth, "No 'disorder'!" While turning the horse desperately, trying to charge towards the Wei camp head-on, the clinker horse ran for a long time, and its horsepower was almost exhausted. This suddenly made a strong turn, and he broke his heel, and his mount fell down with a groan. Yelu also fell off the horse first. He stood up staggeringly, and looked up to see countless cavalry passing by in front of him in a chaotic manner. Knocking him over, luckily a few soldiers quickly urged their horses to come over to protect him. A cavalryman gave up his horse to Yelu Ye, who got on his horse first, and wanted to reprimand his subordinates to form a formation, but just opened his mouth, A gust of wind blows toward us. "Be careful, general!" the guard shouted loudly, regardless of Yelu Yexian's intentions, he desperately pulled his horse aside.

It was too late, but it was so fast, several Song Army cavalry rushed past like lightning, and several carbine guns picked and beat, two of Yelu Yexian's soldiers fell under the horse before they could dodge, Yelu Yexian was still in shock , The second wave of Song Army cavalry came again. This wave was not as dense as the previous ones, but it was still unstoppable compared to the Liao Army cavalry who was close to collapse.The cavalry of the Liao army rushed to avoid the Song army in a panic, and many centurions and tens of commanders had led their troops to flee eastward.

Although there were only a few hundreds of cavalry rushing down the hill, who knows how many ambush soldiers the Song people had, maybe those damn scout cavalry were just bait.Warrior, Duo Qi also!Yelu also looked at the irreparable collapse first, was out of breath, and lost his mind for a moment.The cavalry of the Song army charged very fiercely. They had just rushed through several waves, and they had already circled their horses not far away, ready to charge again immediately, but they did not rest at all, and did not give the Liao army a chance to breathe.

"General, retreat quickly!" The guard shouted loudly.If Yelu also died first, all the guards would be beheaded.

"General, retreat!" More soldiers urged loudly, and the two of them grabbed the reins without any explanation.This war horse was not Yelu Yexian's mount at first, when others came to grab the reins, they didn't resist, instead, they followed the soldiers and turned around, and fled back east at full speed.

"Alas—" Yelu's mind went blank, only hearing the whistling of the wind passing by his ears.The war horses ran wildly for more than ten miles, and several centurions gathered hundreds of horses to stop. Yelu also looked pale, and counted the horses and horses, and lost more than 100 horses.At this point, everyone was discouraged, and he didn't care about how many ambush soldiers the Song people had, so he hurriedly recruited his subordinates, went back and reported that he was ambushed by the Song army.

At the foot of the hill, when the cavalry of the Tabai Battalion turned back to fight back, there were no Liao soldiers left.Yang Zaixing's face was as pale as snowflakes, and he tried his best to bow his hands to Zhang Xian immediately: "Zhang Tongzhi, Zaixing owes you a life, and I will repay you in the future!" Compared with other generals, they also spoke more words of loyalty.

Zhang Xian was taking care of his weapon. The blood of the Liao soldiers stained the tip of the gun red and the white tassel. He raised the carbine and let the blood flow along the red tassel to the tip of the gun. The color of blossoming red plums.He frowned, listened to Yang Zaixing's words, raised his head, and said with a slight smile, "Don't let Governor Yang see you, your life and mine belong to Privy Yue, why bother mother-in-law, what do you owe me?"

If others say his mother-in-law, Yang Zaixing might turn his face on the spot.But facing Zhang Xian, he just nodded and said with a smile: "That's exactly the case. To sacrifice one's life to kill the enemy and destroy the army is what a good man does!" He grinned.Yang Zaixing broke off the arrow shaft on his body with all his might, and only then did the soldiers come forward to take care of their injuries.The soldiers were cautious, Yang Zaixing endured the pain while talking to Zhang Xian about the situation of the Liao soldiers, quite like Guan Gong scraping the bones to heal the poison.Seeing him so stubborn, Zhang Xian was also secretly surprised.

Zhao Xingde had just arrived in Jiangzhou with the town police brigade, when Lu Mingyu, Luo Xianshi and other generals came to meet him.In order not to disturb the enemy army, the generals either came to see them alone, or only brought one or two entourages.But the look on his face was full of excitement, as if Zhao Xingde had really been detained by the town police for more than ten days.

The previous mutiny was true and false, and it was soul-stirring.Zhao Xingde's prestige in the army has been fully reflected.As soon as the soldiers of the Baoyi Army heard that the commander had been detained, they were all filled with righteous indignation. With a little guidance from the generals, they turned into a mutiny situation, and almost started a war with the suppressor in Shuzhou.Moreover, beyond Lu Mingyu's and others' expectations, other people hesitated to betray the savior because of their status, but many scholars in the army were the most daring. All were refuted to nothing. "Confucianism uses literature to 'chaos' law" and "Xiamen uses martial arts to violate the ban" are like thunder and fire, and they are perfectly combined in the mutiny of suppressing the Communist Party.After this mutiny, which was fake and real, the suppression of the Communist Party was very different from before. It was like a whole country inside and out, and there was a faint feeling of common hatred and hatred for outsiders.

Zhao Xingde was vaguely aware of this situation, but the matter had come to this point, whether it was a blessing or a curse, he couldn't chill everyone's hearts, so he had to comfort everyone with tacit words, and then asked one by one about the ambush arrangement.

"The commander is planning ahead, the arrangement is wonderful!" Lu Mingyu said with a smile, "Shi Canjun is also a capable man. In Jiangzhou, let alone [-] cavalry, even if a hundred thousand soldiers and horses come to fight, we are not afraid!" Will laugh together.Lu Mingyu's words were a little exaggerated.But when they rushed to Jiangzhou in a hurry, Shi Jingkui had already recruited tens of thousands of young men from nearby counties here.Although the prefectural and county volunteers had not fought yet, Shi Jingkui generously distributed the firecrackers brought in from Ezhou, and there was already a preliminary formation practice. Set up camps and collected a lot of food and grass.The hearts of the generals finally fell to the ground, and they all admired Zhao Xingde's almost prophetic arrangement.

"Shi Canjun is so talented in literature and martial arts, he is a character with the same arms wherever he is placed." Luo Xianshi also praised him without hesitation.

"Where, where!" Shi Jingkui clasped his hands, "The last general just did some things as he was supposed to do."

"Don't be overly modest. The victory in this battle is due to Shi Canjun's contribution, and Zhao Xingde thanked him for leading the people in the southeast." Zhao Xingde smiled slightly, and bowed to Shi Jingkui meaningfully.Shi Jingkui hurriedly stood up and bowed to thank him. It was rare for a commander to treat a subordinate like this. The generals only thought that Zhao Xingde was a corporal, but they didn't expect that Zhao Xingde's bow was Xie.Xia Guo's marching commanders, Shi, are all skilled in military affairs and shrewd.It's no wonder that the Marching Army Division is able to take the top spot in the General's Mansion.

"Since the Liao army came to fight not far away six hundred miles away," Zhao Xingde said calmly after the politeness, "we can't wait for them," Shi Jingkui spread out the topographic map that he had made in advance, and Zhao Xingde glanced at it and said with a smile , "Shi Canjun has already set up camps on the highlands along the way. The place suitable for the decisive battle of the army is probably here." Zhao Xingde did not want to defend the city. He pointed to a narrow plain in the east of Jiangzhou City. The surrounding hills are not suitable for cavalry assault. , but it is extremely suitable for setting up artillery fortresses and controlling the battlefield condescendingly. If the Liao army wants to capture Jiangzhou, it must pass through this place.The brigades of the Zhenjiang Army and the Baoyi Army can also face the Liao Army here.The only thing to worry about is that the Liao army that was supposed to be chasing was only about [-] cavalry, but after receiving the notice from the Tabai Battalion, the reinforcements from the southeast Liao army were large, and there were more than [-] to [-] elite soldiers chasing this way. ride.This is like preparing a table of meals to entertain bad guests, and suddenly two tables of guests come.In the face of the superiority of the Liao army, the pressure on the Baoyi army and the township army suddenly increased, and it is very likely that they will fall into a fierce battle again, and they will not be able to withdraw in time to help Ezhou.

At this time, a personal soldier reported to enter, and after entering, he presented a pigeon book, Zhao Xingde opened it, his eyes showed joy, he closed the scroll, his hands trembled slightly, and he remained silent After waiting for a while, he smiled and sighed: "God bless, it is really timely rain."

To the south of Xiangyang, the red sun was just rising, and the camps of the Song army were stretching, with various banners flying.The armies of the southeast camp and the Xijing camp are no longer allowed to leave the camp, and the generals have to go to the commander's tent every day to check in. For more than ten days, there has been a lot of anger from top to bottom.

"Wait, wait," a general who had just left the tent of the Chinese army cursed, "wait for a bird!"

"Alas—" another person whispered, "A raging soldier, a raging nest. I think back then..." He looked around and lowered his voice again, "When our king commanded the army, How refreshing! It's a pity..." "The southeast camp was formed by the king's control and mobilization of elites from all over the world. It's easy to say the imperial court's will. When will Xijing's order be followed?" Another general also sighed. , did not continue this topic.

In the tent of the Chinese army, the privy envoy Cao Di's face was like iron, Liu Yanqing's brows were frowned, and the eyes of both of them fell on Shuzhou and Jiangzhou at the same time.

"Emissary Cao, Liu Jiedu" transferred a man from the back of the tent, wearing a yellow robe and a gold helmet, he was actually the emperor Zhao Qi, "Shuzhou has already been defeated, when will we send troops to Ezhou?" He looked worried .It is already indecent for the emperor to hide behind the tent and listen to the military discussion.But Zhao Qi has always been suave and uninhibited. He and Cao Di have a friendship as a son-in-law, and he also remembers sending troops to Ezhou to establish orthodoxy as soon as possible, so he came here in person regardless of etiquette, wanting to see what the army's military discussion was all about.
