A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Shen An pointed to the low mountains on the right and said: "There are mountains there, only four miles away. If there are enemy troops lurking, how should we deal with them?"

Zeng Gongliang and others looked over and saw the solemn forest, wondering what was inside.

Don't scare me!

He was confused.

Shen An's eyes were full of determination and confidence: "We have 17,000 troops and 7,000 natives. We don't have all the weapons. Many of them hold wooden sticks... How can they have the confidence to compete with our army?! Where did it come from!?"

When he said this, everyone couldn't help but look to the right, feeling that everything there was suspicious.

But scary people can scare people to death.

Zeng Gongliang was obviously a little frightened.

The breeze blew by, bringing with it the fresh smell of various plants, and also brought panic...

"Check! Send someone to investigate inside!"

Zeng Gongliang ordered in a panic.

Wang Lun received the order and prepared to arrange it with a troubled expression, but Shen An said: "Prime Minister Zeng, going to investigate at this moment will only shake the morale of the army."

In full public view, they sent people to investigate the mountains and forests on the right. The first thought of the soldiers was that there was an ambush, and then they became suspicious and had no morale.

When fighting the enemy on the opposite side, everyone will be thinking about the right side. What else is there to fight at that time?

Zeng Gongliang thought the same thing: I was panicked, and the soldiers were even more panicked when I thought about it.

He lowered his voice subconsciously: "What should we do about this?"

The first time he came out to lead the army, he unexpectedly encountered a battle formation.

Lao Zeng, who was originally planning to strategize from behind, panicked.

I'm in a panic!

What to do?

He looked around and saw that Xiao Gu and others looked pale, and it was obvious that they had not experienced battle.

Civil officials are unreliable.

Where are the generals?

He glanced at Wang Lun and Song Shiyao, and they were also a little nervous.

yes!

Since Nong Zhigao, there have been minor frictions in the border areas, and blood is rarely seen once a year.

Under such a general environment, Wang Lun and Song Shiyao had no idea when facing such a large battle!

Damn it!

Zeng Gongliang was shocked to find that Shen An was the only one who had seen a big battle here.

He was momentarily sad.

Guan Jia, when you asked Shen An to come, did you ask him to do the gold plating?

Only now did everyone discover a shocking phenomenon.

None of the big guys present have ever been in a big battle...

They are all rookies.

How to fight this battle?

In this panic, Shen An said calmly: "When I was in Xiongzhou, I had a confrontation with the spy commander of the Liao people. When I was in Fuzhou, I personally witnessed the battle. Not only did I lead my troops into the battle, but I also insisted on going out. He sent reinforcements, fought with the Xixia people in the field, and defeated them..."

He's showing off!

He wants to seize power!

Zeng Gongliang wanted to refute, but felt relieved in his heart.

If you don’t understand, you will panic. At this time, some people say that I am an expert.

Then everyone will unconsciously follow the opinions of experts.

Shen An's eyes were full of confidence at this moment, and he was talking eloquently: "In the end, the Fuzhou Army dared to pursue them all the way to the territory of Xixia. Overnight, all the remaining Xixia troops turned into ghosts..."

So many achievements?

"You know when to attack and when to defend... If you trust me, then I will stand at the front in this battle and never take a step back!"

One step, no retreat!

Wang Lun felt a rush of heat and shouted: "I am willing to follow you and wait for the imperial edict!"

Song Shiyao walked to Shen An silently.

This is support!

At this moment, the civil servants had no masters, and the role of the military men was magnified.

Even if Han Qi was here, he could only look confused and give random instructions.

Zeng Gongliang looked at Shen An and whispered: "This battle..."

"The Song Dynasty will definitely win!"

Shen An said very confidently: "I am confident. If it doesn't work, I will give you my head!"

How dare you risk your life as a guarantee!

This confidence and determination made Zeng Gongliang depressed, and then inspired him again.

He nodded slightly, suppressed the panic in his heart, and smiled at Xiao Gu: "I can sit here peacefully today and watch the soldiers of the Song Dynasty kill the enemy."

These words are quite Xie An's pretentious style.

——The children have defeated the enemy!

Are you feeling guilty?

Xiao Gu knew that Zeng Gongliang wished he could transform into a fierce general and then personally lead an army to kill the enemy.

But he didn't have this ability, nor did he have the inexplicable confidence of Han Qi, so he could only pretend to be calm.

This is shirking responsibility.

Do you believe in Shen An that much?

Xiao Gu glanced at Shen An and felt that Zeng Gongliang had been rash in this matter.

At least it's okay to leave it to Wang Lun to take command.

But Shen An was already giving orders.

"Cavalry ahead!"

This was an offensive formation, and Wang Lun and others were overjoyed.

Fifteen hundred cavalry began to move forward.

"The spearmen followed. Once the cavalry broke through the enemy's formation, the spearmen immediately stabbed in rows to widen the gap...and then the infantry covered them."

This is to accomplish all the results in one battle!

Everyone was excited and promised loudly.

"After the cavalry breaks through the enemy's formation, immediately turn right and fight out..."

Shen An raised his binoculars and looked at the mountains and forests on the right, with a sneer on his lips: "Remember, just defeat the natives... You must obey orders. Once ordered to turn right, you must form a formation quickly. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed!"

The most important thing in a battle formation is discipline, so Shen An's arrangement is absolutely correct.

Just turn right…

Are you sure there is an ambush in the forest?

"Seven thousand men... attack!"

Shen An did not charge personally. He said to Huang Chun: "The natives are not worthy of our charge. Keep an eye on the right...and, Brother Chun, how do you feel now?"

Huang Chun is known as the dog's nose and has the most sensitive sense of smell for bad luck.

Huang Chun frowned and said: "Lang Jun, I... I am a little flustered."

Even Yan Baoyu changed his color at this moment, which shows Huang Chun's keen nose and accurate prediction.

"It's okay to panic."

Shen An suddenly laughed and said: "Follow someone!"

He rushed to the right wing. Zeng Gongliang hesitated and followed.

"Prime Minister Zeng, how about we wait here to wait for the enemy today?"

He asked with a smile, but Zeng Gongliang was a little uneasy. He forced a smile and said: "Okay."

Shen An waved his hand and Wang Lun shouted: "Attack!"

The cavalry began to speed up.

The enemy troops on the opposite side panicked for a moment, and some people roared loudly, but they gradually calmed down.

"This is a promise, there must be an ambush!"

Shen An found that he was extremely calm at this moment.

The entire battlefield seemed to be still, allowing him to judge calmly.

"Don't use crossbow arrows..."

With a crackling sound, the enemy array was broken through by the cavalry.

This was what was expected. The cavalry charged in, and the subsequent spearmen charged in in formation, and the enemy army collapsed.

"Vulnerable!"

Zeng Gongliang's mood improved immediately, he stroked his beard and talked to Xiao Gu.

The infantry behind were taking advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and the chasing natives ran all over the mountains and plains.

Those natives grew up here and ran almost as fast as galloping horses.

Suddenly there were people everywhere.

"Take it back!"

Shen An was no longer looking here, but was staring at the forest on the right with his binoculars.

The horns sounded, the flags waved, and the Song troops who were chasing the natives everywhere began to return.

They still had more to say, and some were even cursing, thinking this was crazy.

"look……"

Someone suddenly pointed to the mountain forest and exclaimed.

The Song troops who were gathering all looked up.

There seemed to be countless demons and ghosts moving around in the forest at the moment. The branches were swaying, but no birds were flying.

The absence of birds means that someone has been lurking for a long time...

"Enemy attack..."

Someone screamed as a Cochin man spurred his horse out of the woods.

The woods were boiling, and people kept pouring out.

The first was more than 700 cavalry, followed by the endless crowd...

"It's Cochin!"

"Array! Array!"

Countless people were shouting wildly, and the sudden encounter with the enemy made them panic.

The woods are like an opening, and people are still pouring out.

"How much...how much?"

Zeng Gongliang's expression changed, but at this moment, the fear had dissipated from his body.

Wang Lun beside him murmured: "Now...it's more than 10,000, and it's still coming out."

"Are you sure they are from Cochin?"

Zeng Gongliang asked with his last hope.

If it were not for the Cochin people, then the southwest would still be a quiet place in the future.

in the case of……

That means the Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi are falling out, and the southwest will become a serious problem in the future.

Song Shiyao nodded and said, "Yes, and they are elite."

There are also many native forces in Jiaozhi, and those natives do not have such neat equipment under their command.

Zeng Gongliang's eyes became more solemn. At this moment, he gave up his so-called dream of being a famous general and asked in a deep voice: "How about Anbei?"

Shen An was smiling, with a little more light in his eyes.

"This is an opportunity... I came here just to find an opportunity to teach the people of Cochin a lesson, an unforgettable lesson... Prime Minister Zeng... you should think about how to write Jingguan Stone..."

He galloped out with the Mangshan Army behind him.

He rushed to the front, squinted at the Cochin people who started to form formation, and said: "The enemy's archers have not yet assembled, who dares to charge with me for a while?"

These words were full of scorn, and the cavalry shouted: "We are willing to go!"

The men of the Song Dynasty never lost their blood, they were just hidden and suppressed.

These bloody qualities need a little introduction to draw them out.

At this moment, the enemy troops kept pouring out, which showed that they had the advantage in numbers.

How to get rid of Song Jun's fear?

Shen An believes that the best way is to have a hearty assault.

He turned around and pulled out a long black knife.

"Follow someone!"

He understands people's hearts well and knows that soldiers need encouragement at this time.

There is nothing more inspiring than a civil servant taking the lead in charging into battle.

Just saying "Follow someone" made the soldiers' blood boil with excitement.

"The Great Song Dynasty is victorious!"

"The Great Song Dynasty is victorious!"

Shen An rode forward alone, followed closely by more than a thousand cavalrymen, like a spear formation.

The sound of horse hooves rumbled, Xiao Gu's face turned pale, and he said tremblingly: "What is he going to do? Prime Minister Zeng, what is Shen An going to do? Call him back, let him come back!"

Zeng Gongliang was also a little nervous, secretly scolding Shen An for attacking without asking for instructions.

"Wang Lun, what does this mean?"

Wang Lun said with admiration: "Dai Zhao first determined that there was an enemy ambush in the nearby mountains and forests. He always maintained his formation when attacking the natives. After being defeated, he formed his team in time. The Jiaozhi people wanted to make a surprise attack. It can be seen that our army formed a team and had no chance to take advantage of it. , and started gathering..."

Zeng Gongliang and others all nodded. Without Shen An's foresight, the Song army would have been dispersed earlier. Then the Jiaozhi people suddenly attacked, and the defeat was instantaneous.

The third update is here, good night everyone, I will continue to code.
