Chapter 289 Victory in the first battle
It turned out that Pan Mei deliberately let Tang Longyan's dragon cavalry take the lead. When the dragon cavalry completely suppressed the other party, the cavalry team he prepared could rush to pick up a bargain. At that time, the greatest credit would be his team, not Yang Jiajun of Yang Ye. In case, he deliberately asked Liu Wenyu, the supervisor, to keep an eye on Tang Longyan at all times. If Tang Longyan really wanted to fight for his achievements, he would sue him in front of Zhao Jiong, so that his gains would not pay off.
At this moment, Pan Mei's cavalry team has rushed here, and their red faces are particularly dazzling in the sun because of excitement. After all, they have won the first battle and made great achievements. After going back, they will definitely become models in the army. They desperately clamped the horse's belly and wanted the two armies to get closer so that they could start their harvest.
But to their surprise, the Liaoning cavalry in front of them suddenly made a detour to the northwest. They began not care and continued to follow up. Suddenly, they found that the Liaoning army in front of them had aimed their bows and arrows at them!
Before the leader understood what had happened, he had seen an arrow coming towards him with a little cold light. He was shocked. He immediately leaned over and flew over his hair with a "swish", which shocked him with a cold sweat, but he was not yet relieved. Suddenly, he felt a drama on his left shoulder. The pain came, and an arrow had been inserted into his shoulder. Looking up, the rain of arrows rushed towards them!
It turned out that the Liao army was only killed and injured more than 100 people by Tang Longyan's dragon cavalry. At this moment, there are still more than 800 people, and the troops sent by Pan Mei are only 1,000 people. At this time, the commander of the Liao army saw that Tang Longyan did not catch up, and there was no Yang's invincible army behind him at all, so he suddenly became confident, so he saw it on time. Machine, turn back to counterattack.
Pan Mei's troops did not expect that the other party would organize a counterattack at all. At this moment, they wanted to rush to meet the enemy, but their riding and shooting were too poor. In addition, at this time, they were so pressed by the other party's bows and arrows that they could not even lift their heads at all, let alone rush to kill. For a moment, the commander of Pan Mei's army could only throw the pain on his shoulder. They commanded the organization of the troops to retreat, but found that the Liao army saw the situation and actually bit themselves to death. After they retreated, the Liao army retreated. They wanted to fight, and the Liao army retreated while pulling the bow. The Liao army's riding and shooting skills were far better than the Song army, so Pan Mei's army had no power to fight back at all, and it was about to be eaten by the other party. .
Just as the commander felt helpless and was about to despair, he suddenly felt a fight and scream behind the army that had been biting at him. At the same time, the Liao people gave up resistance and slaughter and began to flee around. The commander looked up and found a powerful "Yang" hanging on a banner!
"It's the dragoons, they're here to save us!" The leader was overjoyed and couldn't help but be excited. That was the ecstasy in his life. He saw a group of troops in black armor charging back and forth among the cavalry in Liaoning without any obstruction at all. When the Liao army saw them, it seemed to have seen the fierce ghosts that urged them to flee one after another.
The horse was straight and flew with a light crossbow. At this moment, the dragon cavalry dominated the battlefield with an absolute advantage. All the Liao people did not dare to fight back at all. They howled and ran around one by one, and the end could only wait to be harvested by the dragon cavalry one by one. In an instant, the thousand captain felt a loss in his heart, which was also big Song's army is too different from each other.
At this time, a dragoon stopped beside the thousand-captain. Even though he was only a small soldier, no one dared to despise him at this moment. He parked his horses next to the thousand-man and then took out a bottle of medicine and a coarse cloth from his body. The commander was still suspicious. In confusion, he suddenly felt a sharp pain of tearing muscles on his shoulder. When he came to his senses, the dragon cavalry beside him had helped him apply medicine to the wound and wrap it tightly in a cloth.
"So, thank you very much." Although he is the commander of the army, after all, the other party saved all of them and treated his bleeding wounds. It is inevitable for him to be grateful.
The dragoon nodded and said, "Don't thank me. My master saw that you were injured and bleeding, so he ordered me to come and bandage for you." Seeing that there was still a doubt in his eyes, he continued, "It's not just me. All the dragon cavalry are carrying these necessary things. If we are injured on the battlefield, no one will care about us. Either we will sit on the ground and wait for death, or we will treat ourselves and continue to fight."
Is this the dragoon? The thousand-captain and the soldiers behind him were suddenly surprised. He couldn't help saying, "No wonder you can kill a thousand Liao troops with a thousand dragon cavalry. At this point, we can't do it."
"No, you are wrong. There are only 500 dragon cavalry here, and the 500 people behind are just ordinary Yang's army. Come on, he hugged the commander and said, "I can't lag behind my brothers too much. I have to kill more Liao people. Take care." Come on, the horse is running away.
"My lord, what are we going to do now? Should we kill the enemy with them?" A captain behind the thousand-man asked immediately when he saw him alone looking at the distant figure of the dragoon.
"Forget it," the commander shook his head bleakly and said, "Others can clean up the Liao people with 500 people. What do we need to do? Do you want to be embarrassed and let someone else save you again? In the past, the dragon cavalry could break 100,000 with thousands of troops, but it was a false reputation. Alas, let's go. Talk about it, stop the horse, turn around and leave sadly.
The news that Pan Mei's army was defeated and the dragon cavalry killed the Liao army all the way came back, which immediately stirred up waves. Pan Mei demoted the commander three times in a row and let him serve as a partner of the rear army. When Tang Longyan returned to the army with hundreds of Liao army prisoners, the three armies suddenly shouted. Pan Mei Seeing that morale was high and it was not easy to deal with Tang Longyan for a while, he also gave up.
After destroying the enemy's wave of harassment troops, the army went all the way and came to Huanzhou City in less than an hour. In the commander's camp, Pan Mei was hesitating about when to attack the city, and suddenly ordered the soldiers to report quickly: "Try the commander that there is a strange movement in Huanzhou City."
"Oh, right!" Pan Mei was shocked and immediately walked onto the high platform to look out. When he looked at it, he suddenly found that the other party's troops had gone out of the city one after another and lined up according to their formation, as if they were going to fight to the death with the Song army.
They took advantage of this and wanted to fight with our army? Pan Mei frowned and suddenly asked the close bodyguard beside him, "Did you go to interrogate the news you got from the scouts yesterday? Is it really 8,000 troops in the city? Are there really no ambush around our army?
The bodyguard nodded and said, "Yes, everyone said these words in unison, nothing else. There are no ambush in the five miles of the army. If there are five miles away, I'm afraid that our army will have already captured the city when it comes. Seeing Pan Mei's doubtful look, he asked, "What's wrong, Marshal?"
Pan Mei nodded, pointed outside Huanzhou and said, "Look there, there are already 8,000 horses outside the city at this time. They obviously have cities and food. Why do they fight with us like this? Wouldn't it be better to defend the city?"
Seeing the bodyguard's blank face, Pan Mei could only sigh and said, "It's okay, you step back." Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and was so busy: "Since we are here, we can't retreat, otherwise wouldn't we let the Liao people laugh? Pass my order and let Yang's army claim Yang invincible. Isn't this army an easy thing for him!"
Yang Ye gave the order without any objection. He immediately discussed with Tang Longyan: "Brother Tang, you have just won the victory. I should not have directly asked you to go on an expedition as a vanguard, but at this time, the commander has such an intention, and I have no choice but to ask Brother Tang to work hard."
Tang Longyan smiled and said, "General Yang is too polite. When he goes to the battlefield, it is the responsibility of his subordinates to break the city. The general does not need to discuss with me like this. He only needs an order, and his subordinates will naturally obey the arrangement. Moreover, this time, I also expect that the other party will pour 8,000 soldiers to defend our army outside the city. At that time Another sneak attack, but at this moment, our army has already been well deployed and is not afraid of any sudden change.
Yang Ye nodded and said, "That's good, but please remember that this battle can only be won, not lost. If you win, your morale will be stable, morale will be high, and if you lose, time will be lost and progress will be slow." After saying that, he patted Tang Longyan on the shoulder and turned away.
In Huanzhou City, the assassin Zhao Yanxin is standing respectfully in the living room at this moment. In front of him, there is a man and a woman sitting quietly. Both of them are in their 20s, with beautiful eyebrows, but with a look of domineering.
When Zhao Yanxin saw that the two only cared about tasting tea and didn't say a word, he was uneasy and asked, "Dare to ask Miss Prince, can this Huanzhou be kept?"
The teenager was dissatisfied and said, "What's the hurry? My father is now mobilized an army to block the army on the East Road. Naturally, there is flawless management here. Whether it can be defended or not depends on how many catties the other party's coach is. By the way, Sister Rou, is there any news from your grandfather?
When the girl heard the teenager's words, she immediately said with contemptuous face, "Do you think of Xiao Jixian's old man? He and my third aunt, oh, no, it was the Empress Dowager Xiao who discussed it, but there was no result, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you here. By the way, Brother Fenghuo, what's wrong with your father?"
The teenager shook his head and said, "He said that as long as the army of East Road was broken, the Middle Road and West Road would not be afraid at all, but if it hadn't been for Sister Rou who pulled me over, I really wouldn't have come here to watch the battle."
The girl nodded thoughtfully and said, "Uncle Yelu will definitely force Song back." While talking, she saw Zhao Yanxin's anxious face and smiled, "Don't worry, our subordinates have three tricks. Now, the other party has only seen through the first one, which is not in the way." While talking, the smile on his face was quite proud.
