    Volume 2 Bianliang Mistakes Chapter 53 Heavy Rain (6) Yelu Dashi suddenly stood up from the couch in the Chinese army tent.  After all, his body was not long after the injury. That night, Wei Zengji risked his life to fight out of Xiao Yan's army, and the wounds were really serious.  During the twenty days of recovery, he could barely walk.  With such heavy rain falling continuously from the sky, he could barely manage to arrange the sentry defense last night. After patrolling the camp, he felt a little feverish.  I could only go back to the military tent to rest. When I woke up half asleep, I already felt my head was heavy and groggy. It seemed I had a cold.  Hearing the urgent news from the outside sentry, he stood up immediately. Those cold feelings were thrown away at this moment. "Did the Song Army pass the cavalry express to the northwest to where Xiao Yan's army is?" He replied.  The man was a sentry leader who had escaped under Zhang Xian's arms. After bowing and reporting, he stood in front of the Yelv Stone. Before he could fully breathe, the water dripped off his iron armor, soaking the place where he stood.  "It's absolutely true. The Song Army sent an urgent message on horseback. There were about sixty or seventy riders, wearing light armor and riding horses. When we met, we were already in the southwest of the camp. They took advantage of the heavy rain to avoid us.  Fortunately for the camp, our sentries were placed far away, so we bumped into them. If they had been a little further to the west, they might have bypassed us These dozens of mounted Song troops, even  They were elite. The eleven or two cavalry in the lead came very quickly and fought fiercely. The eleven or two cavalry in the lead used them to kill us. The dozens of cavalry did not catch up and continued heading northwest.  Gone." Yelu Dashi looked at the sentry leader who was covered in water and made a judgment immediately.  This was sent by the Central and Western Army in Yanjing City to convey urgent military information to Xiao Yan. If it were not an urgent military information, so many people would not be escorted, and they would not be such elite troops. The leader of the sentinel detective is a refugee from Liaodong and is quite famous among the troops.  One of the generals claimed to have seen battles with the Jurchen army and horses.  Although I don't know whether he is true or not, he is already a rare strongman among the mixed army of Fu Liao Army. His subordinates are all his own children who escaped all the way from Liaodong, so they are quite powerful.  He was actually beaten back by a mere eleven or two cavalrymen.  Such an elite Song army penetrated so far into the Liao army and headed straight to the northwest. If not an extremely urgent military situation, what else could it be?  As for what kind of urgent military situation it is, besides asking Xiao Yan to send troops to wipe out the Fu Liao Army led by Yelu Dashi, what else can it be?  Everyone in the Song Army must have waited for the news they wanted and decided to send troops. Now it was time for him to leave. Various thoughts were coming to his mind, but they didn't show it at all on his face.  He ordered loudly to the trusted general in charge of the cavalry under his tent who came with the sentinel leader: "Deploy the army and horses, catch up, and be sure to intercept this Song Army's cavalry express team. In the heavy rain, they can't run fast, and they can't run fast."  They can't run far. They are catching up one after another, and they have been training for a long time. If they can't deal with the dozens of cavalry soldiers, how can they talk about the great cause of restoring Liao Dynasty? "The trusted cavalry general agreed and led them.  The leader of the sentry who reported the military situation retreated.  Yelu Dashi gave a high-five, and his flag officer of the Chinese Army strode in. Yelu Dashi took a few steps with his hands behind his back and gave the order again: "Order the entire army to be lightly armed, stay alert, and be ready to go out to the camp at any time. All supplies must be left behind."  In the camp, everyone from XX will carry dry food for seven days. All the cattle and sheep in the camp have been put down, so that the men can eat a few meals first." It was quiet around Yanjing these days, and the military flag official didn't know about Yelu Dashi.  Why give such an order?  But how could he dare to talk too much? He just agreed and went down to deliver the order.  Yelu Dashi could no longer sit down and walked around in the tent.  It would be impossible to break camp and leave immediately.  Only after the Song army was dispatched, it had already begun to attack and conquer the nearby Fu Liao army camp.  Only he can lead the brigade to escape in the name of going out to camp for field operations. It doesn't matter if he leaves Yanjing alone. What matters is Xiao Yan's place. They are all cavalry. They arrived quickly. From now on, we must keep an eye on Xiao Yan's movements, as long as he sends troops.  He made a move and left by himself. Even if Xiao Yan wanted to make a great contribution to quelling the chaos, it was not so complete because he escaped In the future, there will be times when I want Xiao Yan to repay this grudge. Yelu Dashi is in the tent.  Zhong Xiang, the flag officer of the Central Army, arranged the arrangement. The general of the cavalry and the leader of the sentry under his command were already on their horses outside the tent.  The general of the cavalry army said hello: "Go and gather the rest of your troops quickly. After you catch up, I will dispatch the other troops and respond one after another. Since Dashi Linya has given the order, I will keep them no matter what." The leader of the sentry probe shook his head: "  Those who can't be left behindthese Song cavalry troops are no less capable than the Jurchen Tatars. I really don't know how the Southerners can train these elite cavalry." After saying this, he kowtowed to his horse.  He left without looking back and left a sentence: "Since I am following Dashi Linya, I have to fight for my life to the end. Dashi Linya saved tens of thousands of my Liaodong troops that day. The kindness is too heavy."????But from what I can see, there is no way for Dashi Linya here to recover.¡¹ ¡«~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Gaolianghebei, far to the west of Yanjing, another group of more than a hundred people  The cavalry team was also moving quickly in the heavy rain. This was the same team that came to meet the envoys from Bianliang and crossed the Gaoliang River and headed north in the heavy rain. In the heavy rain, this sentinel team was in charge.  After Chang Sizhao led them across the river, they did not move any closer to Yanjing. Instead, they moved a little further to the west, basically heading straight to the northwest. In the heavy rain, it was not easy to tell the direction.  The eunuch angel could only tremble on his horse, unable to tell the direction. The few imperial guards around him were no better than him. They kept their heads down and just gritted their teeth and escorted them to Gaoliang Henan.  After all, Liu Chun, deputy general of Liu Lingji, was a general who had sent troops and seen battles. The further he went, the more wrong he felt. Finally, he rode up to the front and grabbed Chang Sizhao's reins: "Brother Chang, where are you going?"  ?  Why not turn to Yanjing?  If we move forward, will we run outside the Great Wall?  What path are you taking?  " Chang Sizhao reined in his mount, looked back at Liu Chun, wiped the rain off his face, exhaled and said with a smile: "Where else can we go? Yanjing is surrounded by iron barrels, how can it be so easy to kill him?  Got in?  Xiao Xuanzan led the Shenwu Changsheng Army, which had already left Yanjing City and was stationed in the northwest of Yanjing.  Xiao Xuanzan was the main force in quelling the rebellion. As soon as the order from Bianliang arrived, Xuanzan's five thousand elite cavalry rushed out from the side, and the Yanjing Western Army Brigade responded. Didn't they completely wipe out the rebel army?  I am escorting the envoy to the Xuanzan Army Mr. Liu, do you suspect that there is something wrong with me, Mr. Chang?  My old Chang family's relatives are all in Shaanxi, and the Chang family is a large family in the local area with several hundred people. Could it be that I would vote for another Tatar family?  Most of the men under my command came from the various roads in Shaanxi. You really underestimated us." "To be honest, Liu Chun really did not doubt that Chang Sizhao had surrendered to the enemy. The Liao Kingdom had been destroyed, and the Jurchens still seemed to be a very distant term.  Not to mention that Chang Sizhao was an old man from the Western Army. Even if he wanted to surrender, where could he go? He just felt that his behavior was a bit strange. But now he heard that he was bringing the envoy to Xiao Yan's army, and he was a little panicked.  Xiao Yan led his troops out of Yanjing and stationed himself outside. Naturally, he, a general in charge of logistics at Baigou River, had no idea that these adults had such an arrangement.  But this envoy was not brought to Xiao Yan's army first. As a member of the Western Army, the first thing to protect was the interests of the Western Army. Who knew what Yan Yun was doing in Bianliang first?  No matter what the story is, it is natural to take advantage of it. How can the envoy get past Lao Zhong and the others and reach Xiao Yan's army first? Even if Lao Zhong sends his sentry to the south of the Gaoliang River to intercept Xiao Yan first.  The envoys from the south turned a blind eye or closed one eye, but they would never let the envoys enter Xiao Yan's army without saying anything. In panic and shock, Liu Chun pulled the reins of Chang Sizhao's horse hard and shouted: "This can't be done, this can't be done."  But if it is not the land of Yanyun, no one can reach the old Xianggong. How can this angel reach Xiao Xuanzan's army first?  Immediately turn to the northeast, rush to Yanjing and go to Laochang. Don't harm me." "Anyway, the gourd has been opened, and you have to row hard for whichever boat you are on. Chang Sizhao was just a cavalry warrior in the Xihe Army that day.  The instructor had a title but no duties, because the family was not a member of the generals, so he could not fill his actual position. Later, he was simply driven to the Shengjie Army, and finally transferred to Xiao Yan's command. Now he is a member of the cavalry command.  Head. Yan Yun is about to get another promotion or two, and with the bloody battles, he will naturally have a greater sense of belonging to this new group. Fighting, especially winning, is the best way to improve an armed group.  A means of cohesion. Chang Sizhao no longer cared about friendship at this time and sneered: "Do you know the situation around Yanjing?  It is easy for seven or eight cavalry to pass through the air and search for leaks. With this hundred cavalry brigade, along with the envoys and those imperial masters, can you ensure that you can safely enter the city of Yanjing?  If there is anything wrong with an angel, will you take the responsibility?  From Xiao Xuanzan's army to Gaoliang Henan, our brothers have become familiar with these roads after repeated trips. I can pat my chest and know that nothing will go wrong again. I have said this, Deputy Liu Ling, are you still willing to tell me like this?  Going east?  " Chang Sizhao was trying to deceive Liu Chun into not knowing the situation around Yanjing. With his hundred cavalry and the cover of the heavy rain, if he could find the right road to restore the ruins of the Liao army in the south of Yanjing, he really couldn't stop it.  They might have entered Yanjing City smoothly without a fight, but Liu Chun was always in charge of the rear route in the Western Army, and was not the type who often went into battle.??General.  Although there were more than a hundred elite soldiers among the troops and horses in the rear route, they could only be said to be able to ride freely and fight on the spot.  Not a pure cavalry.  Under such heavy rain, there was no familiar person to lead the way, and it was a troublesome thing to identify the route. So he turned around and went straight to Yanjing. Liu Chun really didn't dare at the moment. Seeing Liu Chun hesitate there, Chang Sizhao  Then he sneered: "Liu Deputy Lingzhi, how many sentries sent by Yanjing City came across you all the way north near the Gaoliang River? Didn't you meet us in the end? This shows that in the eyes of Lao Zhongxiangong, when you get to Xiao  It's normal for Xuan Zan to be in the army or in the city of Yanjing. With Xiao Xuan Zan's loyalty, how could he arbitrarily recruit angels into his army without the order of Mr. Laozhong? "Who is Xiao Yan?  General Liu Chunliu, who has been in charge of logistics for more than ten years, really doesn't know.  Seeing that Chang Sizhao was speaking eloquently now, he subconsciously let go of the reins of Chang Sizhao's horse and hesitated.  The eunuch angel has been sticking closely behind Chang Sizhao, perhaps because the cavalry warfare instructor of a certain unit in the Western Army was tall and powerful, and he felt the most secure.  I listened to their arguments.  At this time, he could no longer hold back, hugging the horse's neck and shouting loudly: "Don't worry about the old Mr. Xiao Xuanzan, as long as it is any army in the Western Army, let us go in and declare the decree, as long as we are less shocked."  I'm afraid, if we don't get exposed to the rain, our family will recite Amitabha Buddha. This Xiao Xuanzan is not an outsider. He has already drank a cup of wine in Bianliang, so he went to Xiao Xuanzan's place to kill General Chang, who will lead the way.  It's not easy, why should we choose the road of survival instead of taking the familiar road? If we continue like this, our family will die first." The eunuch angel shouted, which solved the deadlock and found Liu Chun a way out.  He glanced at Chang Sizhao bitterly: "It's up to you, but Old Chang, our friendship will be gone from now on." Chang Sizhao smiled. When he was in the Western Army, because he was not a general, he was a general.  Despite his abilities, he was often squeezed out by these generals.  Back then, I was just an acquaintance with Liu Chun, so how could we have such a deep friendship?  He shouted immediately and continued forward, pointing straight in the direction of where Xiao Yan's army was stationed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At this moment in Yanjing City, the sky is already brightening.  Although the rain has not weakened at all, the military camp of the Western Army stationed in the city of Yanjing, which has been quiet for a long time, has begun to move.  The troops and horses of the brigades were mobilized between the camps and the city walls, and generals at all levels rode their horses through the city of Yanjing.  The city gates were also opened once or twice, and sergeants were rushing back and forth with orders inside and outside the city.  In various camps, wisps of smoke rose in the rain and mist, but the fire troops in the camp were preparing dry food for the day's outing of the city.  And Yu Wenxuzhong and Geng Nanzhong waited all night in the small building of their government office until dawn.  At this moment, the scene around Yanjing City left the two of them speechless. They didn't know whether they were happy or worried.  A notice has been sent to Mr. Lao Zhong, saying that the entire Western Army is loyal to Chidan of the Song Dynasty.  Although the reward food and salary did not arrive, in order to avoid the anxiety of the Holy Emperor, the scholars and people of the Song Dynasty were anxious.  The generals of the Western Army are still preparing to go to war. The generals of the Western Army have already spent all their wealth to provide military rewards for their subordinates. They are now preparing for the full army to go to war in three days.  He will definitely quell the rebel forces near Yanjing with one blow, and completely secure the territory of Yanyun.  This was a painstaking effort, and I begged two angels to come to the imperial court to show the loyalty of the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Western Army.  The two of them stood on the small building all night. The raindrops and the cold wind, even though they were protected by the eaves, also came in and made them half wet.  The servants had already sent fox furs for the two of them to wear.  The cold wind in the morning was even worse at this time. After staying up all night, the two of them could not help but shiver as they looked at each other.  Geng Nanzhong sighed twice and said with a wry smile: "Brother Shutong, after all the planning, how did it end up like this? It was originally Yao Gu's army that came out, but now why does it become that the entire Western Army comes out? It was originally  We were dispatched last night, and the war might start as soon as today. Why did it become three days later? Could it be that Yao Gu deceived you and me in person, and then turned around and sold it to the old man?  "Like this, the military ministers really can't be trusted. With such a powerful person, the Song Dynasty will never be destroyed." Hearing Geng Nazhong's anger, Yu Wenxuzhong was able to control it a little. He sighed and shook his head: "But it was not Yao Xiyan's intention"  If he does this for Lao Zhong, as long as he delays it, what else can you and I think of in Yanjing City?  The seeds were born The matter must have been secret. Lao Zhong went to Yao Xiyan late at night to stop him, but because Qin Feng's army was already in a desperate situation, it would be difficult to stop him. Unless the Western Army was torn apart in Yanjing City, he had to succumb to the general trend.  , let the entire Western Army march out, so that they can step down"Yu Wenxu's reputation for wisdom and scheming is indeed well-deserved. Although he has never been there in person, he has made a close guess about what happened last night.  Geng Nanzhong frowned and thought for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Since the entire Western Army has marched out, wouldn't it be considered a success if you and I planned it? There will be no difference between marching out today and three days later" He seemed to have figured it out.  , his face suddenly became a little joyful, and he clapped his hands and said: "Brother Shutong is a great talent. As expected, you and I, two scholars, managed to mobilize tens of thousands of warriors wearing armor and holding swords in Yanjing, so that you and I can  The plan is that as long as the Western Army wipes out the rebel army under the control of you and me, who can deny this achievement? We are in the court, even if my husband is restored, there is still a check.  If the country's power does not continue to decline blindly, Brother Shutong, in the future, Bianliang will be counting on your talents to spread." There was no hint of joy on Yu Wenxuzhong's face, and he murmured: "That may not be the caseOld man  Why do you have to postpone it for three days? I'm afraid that the news has been sent to Xiao Yan, hoping that Xiao Yan can act in advance and wipe out the rebellion Why did the old man help Xiao Yan like this?  Can the Western Army be handed over to Xiao Yan? I really can¡¯t figure it out, I can¡¯t figure it out" Geng Nanzhong smiled disapprovingly: "After three days, is Xiao Yan a god?  There is no need to worry too much, it is better to think about the following memorial with me after the chaos is settled At this moment, the overall situation has been decided, and there will be no changes." Yu Wenxu forced a smile and looked at Geng Nanzhong seriously: "I hope  Brother Dao, don't blame me for worrying too much. Everything in front of you may not be as you and I want. Just look at it again But one thing that is important is that we can no longer let military ministers hold the court in such a blackmail.  No matter what happens this time, the estrangement between the Western armies has arisen. If we really want to gain a firm foothold in the court and spread our presence in the future, we must firmly hold Yao Gu in our hands and support him with all our strength."  The voice in the rain was cold, and after he finished speaking every word, he tightly wrapped his fox fur around his body, turned around and went down the small building.  Geng Nanzhong listened blankly and couldn't help but glance at the rain curtain outside.  It seemed like he wanted to find the Xiao Yan he had never met at the end of the rain curtain.  "Does this Shutong brother really think that something will happen to Xiao Yan?"  From the beginning of my husband's life in Bianliang, to the old man here, and now Yu Wenxuzhong, why do you think so highly of Xiao Yan?  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~ Another group of chasing cavalry approached from the side and behind. The police cordon set up by Yelu Dashi began to detect Zhang Xian and the others, and they continuously mobilized groups of sentinels to closely monitor them.  Bite them.  Each of these chasing cavalry teams only has twenty or thirty riders, which is exactly the size of a team in Daliao's regular cavalry army.  Under the leadership of their respective military generals, they constantly came from other places to join the pursuit of Zhang Xian's troops.  The first few teams, as soon as they arrived, rushed their horses to rush forward and fight with Zhang Xian and his army.  Zhang Xian always sent out the dozen or so knights and guards under his command, and often dispersed them with a single charge.  These fierce Song Qingqi, who have been fighting in Yan for a full year, have tricks up their sleeves every time they counterattack.  At first, these chasing riders huddled together and swarmed up.  The counterattacks of the Marten Hat guards spread out from both wings, passing by both sides of their formation, inflicting damage on the chasing riders outside the formation.  These pursuers whizzed past the Mao Mao Guards, and before they had time to react, these Mao Mao Guards performed a high-speed U-turn on such a muddy ground, and then turned back to kill them.  One round.  These two raids can often kill about half of a chasing group of enemy cavalry.  Suffering such casualties, the chasing team lost its combat effectiveness.  Another team came down below and learned the lesson. They spread out the attack queue and spread it out. The front was large and the depth was shallow.  These mink-hatted guards quickly gathered together and formed an attack formation.  Change the formation during the movement.  A single impact can pierce through the chasing horse, and then sweep towards the two wings. In the same short encounter, it will kill nearly half of the opponent.  A battle between cavalry and infantry is no better than a battle between infantry and cavalry.  Even if the combat effectiveness of the infantry is not as good as that of the other side, as long as the general has an average level of restraint ability.  Infantrymen as individuals have little room for free movement in the military formation.  If you pile it up like this and fill it with human lives, you can hold out for a while against a clever opponent who has formed many similar formations. They often break up when the general cannot restrain them. Then they are chased by the enemy and the number of casualties in a battle is high.  The big head.  Even if the battlefield experience is not as good as the other side, the fighting ability is also weaker than the other side.  When the infantry forms a formation and fights, it is not easy to determine the outcome.  The battle between cavalry and cavalry is completely different, especially the small group of light cavalry fighting each other.  What matters is your ability on horseback, how well you control the horse, and how experienced you are in riding and fighting.No matter how determined the general is, he can't restrain his cavalry men who have huge room for maneuver and are very quick to advance and retreat.  Once you are inferior to others in this aspect, you will be immediately scattered and defeated. Each of your subordinates will go their own way, and it will be difficult to unite them together.  "These mink hats under Xiao Yan's command are all personal guards. Since the Northern Expedition, what kind of cavalry battles have not been fought, and what kind of powerful opponents have not been encountered?"  After dozens of battles, everyone has become a rare veteran of riding combat.  He can gather and disperse freely, and his immediate stabbing and slashing attacks are accurate and stable.  The subordinates who gathered together with Yelu Dashi and trained hastily for less than a month were far superior.  Not to mention that these mink hats are all personal guards. Whether it is mounts, weapons or armor, they are also superior to their opponents. These light cavalry under Yelu Dashi were depressingly discovered that they were also known as the heroes of the village that day, and many people passed by.  Battle formation.  He rides a bad horse, shoots a strong bow, and can barely make a stab on horseback.  Against these Southern Barbarian cavalry who claimed to be unable to ride, the result was that they were helpless from the beginning to the end, and were easily killed by their opponents. Every time these opponents found a weak point in their own team, they could inflict maximum damage to them in the blink of an eye, and they were stunned.  When he woke up, he found that he had turned around and ran away with his arms around the horse's neck, while the Song Army cavalry had whirled around and retreated triumphantly. ????????????????????????????????????????????????? off back, how come these Song cavalry troops are almost the same as those fine cavalry from the Jurchen Tatars?  Is this justified?  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~ Zhang Xian has always been in the queue, and this is not the time for him to show off his courage.  It was not the time to slow down the speed of the brigade and chase the enemy. He could only send out the more than ten mink hat guards under his command again and again to disperse the chasing horses.  Our own team always keeps moving forward at a certain speed.  This time, the chasing cavalry was dispersed by the Diao Maodu soldiers again. Except for two or three people who stayed behind to guard, the rest returned to the queue to replace damaged weapons and mounts if possible.  Take a breath and wait for the next fight.  These mink hats were all returned by the guards. Their clothes and armor were all in pieces, but not much blood was visible.  The rain was so heavy that it was all washed away.  But from the large and small gaps in their armor, it can be seen that it is not easy to kill them several times.  Many people have been injured, but not much blood can be seen.  Everyone was panting, their chests were heaving violently, and they couldn't calm down easily.  A marten-hatted guard's horse seemed to be stumbling when running. When he was approaching the queue, his front legs suddenly weakened and he fell to the ground with a neighing sound.  Pao Ze next to him had quick hands, grabbed him, and pulled him onto his horse with force.  The Mao Mao Du guard who lost his horse had been riding his backup horse just now, and there was no replacement.  As he returned to the formation, cursing, his eyes were just wandering around the mount on the crotch of Lao Zhong's personal guard. He suddenly pulled a Lao Zhong's personal guard who had a pretty good mount and asked: "Brother, can you exchange the mount for me? Anyway, what are you doing?"  It¡¯s just moving forward, there¡¯s no need to fight. Even if two people ride one horse, it¡¯s not worth it. If you take off the armor, it will reduce the weight. If I fight from behind, you won¡¯t be hurt by the enemy, how about that?  The personal guard soldier was still an envoy, so his face turned red after being asked this question.  The self-reliance of these old-fashioned personal guards is actually quite high, and it is enough for them to step down immediately.  But these guards of the Mink Hat City had just fought several battles, and everyone was stunned to see them.  That pretty boy, Vice-President Zhang Yuhou, is also really tough.  They had said that whenever they encountered an enemy, they would be the ones to rush forward and kill them, and it turned out to be true. Now, the personal guards under General Laozhong were so ashamed that they could not even raise their heads, but they also admired them deeply.  Soldiers are also simple, and those who admire them are heroes.  If they were used to meet the enemy, they would never be able to chase away the chasing horses so quickly and neatly. They might even be entangled by the opponents, and they would never be able to slow down the pace of the group like now.  Most of these Qingqi under Xiao Yan were from the Shengjie Army back then. Lao Zhong's men naturally knew the details. After half a year, they had become so powerful. No wonder Mr. Lao Zhong valued this Xiao Xuanzan so much. The envoy looked at his own army.  General, the guard general under Lao Zhong was next to Zhang Xian. He turned around and said: "There should be some prepared horses. Give your mount to him, find the prepared horses to ride on, and follow the group." That envoy  He let the horse out without saying a word, and finally found a prepared horse to ride on. He almost muttered loudly from behind: "It's not like we can't fight, why should we give up our good horse? Next time the enemy comes, let me  Let's just go and do it, so as not to be looked down upon like this." The face of the old guard general suddenly became livid, and he said to Zhang Xian, who was speeding forward beside him: "Brother Zhang, next time I will  Let us stop before the battle. We have been fighting for many years, and the old husband is regarded as a confidant. Nothing can be said to weaken the name of the Jingyuan Army in front of your army." Zhang Xian's vigilant eyes just glanced around, as if to  See through this layer??It's like rain and fog.  Although he has less military experience than this old general, he has experienced fierce battles and has only a lot more experience in cavalry combat, far more than that.  He shook his head at the moment: "It's not that simple. I didn't expect that Yelu Dashi actually trained so many useful soldiers and horses. He chased us several times and tried to entangle us. If they failed, they would naturally change their strategies. Their horsepower is higher than  We have enough troops, maybe we will gather a large team and rush to the front to catch up with the soldiers and horses coming from behind. They will also gather more and more. At the right place, we will be sandwiched in front and behind. When the time comes, there will be a place where you, brother, are fighting. Now try to keep it as tight as possible.  If you have some strength, a fierce battle is still to come." "In the heavy rain, the general's face was so hot that white steam seemed to come out. After hearing Zhang Xian's words, he asked no more questions.  Since the Western Army's Northern Expedition, in addition to the tragic defeat at Baigou River, there was also the destruction of the Huanqing Army near the Gaoliang River.  There was no tough battle. The Jingyuan Army was the backbone of the Western Army. These old guards were even known as the elite of the Jingyuan Army. They had almost walked comfortably to the city of Yanjing since they went north again.  But Zhang Xian and the others have fought many vicious battles. Even when they went to Xiao Yan's army this time, they were asked to protect Zhang Xian and more than ten people, but it turned out that Zhang Xian protected them in turn. This general has been in the army for generations in his family.  The Western Army has always been proud of the fact that the Song Dynasty has been fighting for the longest time and fought the hardest for the hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty. But at this time, it felt ashamed and could only mutter to itself: "We are also fighting against Han, and we are also fighting against Han, and  Liao Gou works hard, we are not as weak as others, and we are not as weak as others." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The situation developed, just as Zhang Xian expected, the chasing riders stopped coming forward.  , just watching Zhang Xian and the others from a distance.  Teams of chasing riders joined in, and gradually there were one or two hundred riders.  Invisible places in the far distance of the rain curtain, there is no telling how many chasing enemies are passing Zhang Xian and his team to the front. Waiting for the right time, they will attack from front to back. This group has been running in the rain for seven or eight hours, and they are still fighting.  Zhang Xian, a small team of the Song Army who had fought for several games, deliberately controlled their forward speed because they did not dare to use their full power, and it was also raining heavily.  Two hours had passed since they encountered the enemy sentry Qingqi again, and they had only gone more than thirty miles.  Further forward, it was almost the area that Xiao Yan could control with the Qingqi warning curtain.  This generation has rarely seen the dilapidated camps set up by the Fu Liao Army. They were about to penetrate the Fu Liao Army's control area that stretched for dozens of miles. Zhang Xian's spirit became more and more tense, knowing that a fierce battle was just around the corner.  Because if his opponent didn't start, it would be too late. He was also secretly anxious in his heart. If the weather was good on weekdays, he would have galloped far away.  Not to mention that there was no heavy rain blocking the Qingqi sentry's range of activities and sight. Maybe he had already contacted the Qingqi sentry sent by Xiao Yan's camp at this time.  Once there are fifty elites under Xiao Xuanzan's command, how can Yelu Dashi, a hastily assembled team, retain him?  Now there is nothing to say, I can only blame myself for my bad luck.  Even Xiao Xuanzan did not expect that in this short period of time, Yelu Dashi could actually pull out hundreds of cavalry teams that were well-organized and could fight. Yelu Dashi really trained the army and could unify it.  The handsome man who won the field battle At this time, Zhang Xian no longer had to save horsepower. With a roar, everyone in the queue mustered up their last horsepower and galloped forward.  Even the old guards obeyed orders honestly.  Move at his command.  In the blink of an eye, this army horse had broken through the rain curtain and arrived at an open place.  Directly west of this place is a low hill, and the rest of the place is flat.  There are sparse groves only on the south side.  I don't know if the ground is due to loss of soil strength, and alkali has turned up from the ground. During the heavy rain, the ground is much stronger than other places, which is a good place for galloping and fighting.  Looking forward from the rain curtain, there was a cavalry column that looked like a black line lying across the hill.  The men and horses were exhaling long white breaths in the rain. At this time, they seemed to have stopped breathing and were walking forward to meet them.  I'm afraid there are not one hundred and thirty or forty cavalry, and the one carrying the flag is the flag of the Yelv Dashi Central Army.  The leading general was none other than Yelu Dashi's cavalry general. After he obtained Yelu Dashi's general, he mobilized his strength from the camp and worked hard to get to the front. When Zhang Xian and the others were on their way, Zhang Xian immediately raised his hand.  The whole army slowed down their horses and turned to walking.  The war horse panted heavily, and its girdle became a little loose due to excessive consumption.  Zhang Xian looked back while riding on his horse. There were more troops chasing behind him, and they had already reached the size of two to three hundred horses.  It's just that chasing them all the way, the consumption is not light. At this time, they also formed a queue across the back road, and pressed forward from behind at a slightly faster speed.  There are enemies in front and behind, and my own army and horses are already very tired. Even if I want to get around them, I can't escape far.  But what should we do now?  My own life is a small matter, I missed the announcementZan's most important thing is that he will never redeem himself. More than ten of the marten-hatted hedgehogs he brought out gathered around him. Everyone began to tighten the girdle of the horse and tie it up. Even dry food was thrown away to lighten the weight of the mount.  , ready to fight to the death.  Everyone remained silent, knowing that it was a critical moment.  The old guard general patted Zhang Xian on the shoulder and smiled at him: "Brother Zhang, I don't know where you are, and I can't call you, so I can only call you brother I'm chasing after you."  , leave it to us. We are not as good at charging as you are, but if you want to stop them and fight to the death, it is more than enough. If any of your brothers have insufficient horse power, you can exchange them with my subordinates for powerful mounts  ¡­These mounts, thank you for what you got after defeating Xiao Qian. It¡¯s important not to miss Mr. Lao Zhong¡¯s mission.¡± Zhang Xian was shocked, but he didn¡¯t expect that this person has always been unconvinced by his youth, constantly complaining, and has a lot of arrogance.  Laozhong's close confidant, at this time, took the initiative to charge forward, using fast to fight fast, there is always some chance to rush out.  But when the rear was left behind, the horse's speed was reduced, and when the front and rear enemies merged into one force, it was ten times more difficult to escape. The guard general under Lao Zhong looked at Zhang Xian's expression and said with a smile: "Why,  You are allowed to fight hard, but our Jingyuan Army is not allowed to fight to the death? Along the way, we have seen the skills of your subordinates Xiao Xuanzan. Our Western Army has been an army for a hundred years, but it is not a reputation that comes from our ancestors.  When the frontier of the Song Dynasty turned into bones, you Xiao Xuanzan didn't know where you were staying." His subordinate son immediately responded: "This is why others can fight, it seems that we, the Western Army, have always enjoyed blessings.  This reputation is not all gained through fighting." "You just charge forward, and we will take care of you behind. The reputation of the Western Army is important, and it cannot be ruined by a Shenwu victorious army that has only been established for half a year." "This time  The Northern Expedition is really boring, but today we can have a good fight." "The Western Army naturally has its pride and its glorious history.  However, in the past ten years or so, it has gradually dimmed due to the loss of foreign enemies.  However, Zhang Xian and more than ten mink-hatted guards marched hundreds of miles in the rain and fought fiercely, which once again inspired the pride of the Western Army. The old guard general pushed Zhang Xian,  With a whip on his horse's butt, Zhang Xian's horse immediately sprang forward.  The dozen or so mink-hat guards immediately followed closely.  Immediately everyone turned around, and the old guard general of the Jingyuan army was still there to fight with Zhang Xian: "I asked Qu Duan to meet in Bianliang someday, and then invite brothers to have a drink." The old guard of the Jingyuan army in the back  Amidst the shouts, Zhang Xian stopped looking back and took off the horsetail and put it under his arm.  He leaned on the saddle and finally touched the place where the letter was placed on his chest.  He urged his horse to speed up and charged straight towards the oncoming Yelu Dashi troops.  More than a dozen of the Marten Hat Guards also acted like Zhang Xian. In the pouring rain, these more than ten soldiers ran straight into the group of enemies in front of them.
