Chapter 148 Zhuxian Town

Ye Fei Yingchang belongs to the important town of the Central Plains, bordering Tang, Deng Zhuzhou in the south, and bordering Xiang, Fan and other important towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The north is Kaifeng, and it is all in plain areas. It takes only two days and nights to reach the city of Kaifeng. Yang Zaixing left the barracks with three hundred soldiers on the back in the middle of the night. It is strictly forbidden to make noise along the way. Hundreds of cavalry are moving forward, and only the sound of the hooves of war horses is monotonous and light.

Although it was the end of April, due to continuous rains a while ago, the temperature was very low at night and there was a lot of dew. When the star of the east sky was emitting the last light, Yang Zaixing raised his hand at the front of the team. The extremely long distance behind him stopped immediately. Yang Zaixing sent an order to order everyone to get off the horse and rest, wipe off the dew on their bodies, eat some dry food to replenish their energy, and then pause for a moment and decide whereabouts according to the enemy situation.

This is already the territory of Zhuxian Town, and it is more than a day away from Kaifeng. It is surrounded by dangerous soldiers and light cavalry, and it took more than half of the journey in more than a night.

The Song army was stationed in Yingchang, and the rangers often went to the vicinity of Zhuxian Town to investigate. However, because the main force in Changshui was completely damaged, the pseudo-Qi had to shrink the remaining defeated soldiers and retreated to defend in several major cities and towns. Therefore, in many places at the junction of the two armies, except for a few local village soldiers to maintain public order and arrest bandits, they almost did not intervene in the war at all, which also allowed the Song army's rangers to march straight in, and no one dared to stop them.

At this time, Zhuxian Town is the gateway to Kaifeng. Although Yun Town is actually bigger than many prefectures and counties. During the peacetime season, many merchants from all over the country and set foot in Zhuxian Town. It is an important place for crossroads between the north and the south. During the war, it is also a gateway to restrain the north and the south and protect Kaifeng. It can be said that whether it is the Jin soldiers going south or the Song army going north, they need to gain a foothold here. Yang Zaixing settled outside the town and sent a cavalry to reconnaissance first, to see the situation in the town clearly, and then make plans.

Under his command, several awake cavalrymen went to reconnaissance first, while the rest of them dismounted, and their movements were uniform, with few making noises. Yang Zaixing took the lead and relaxed his muscles and bones, and sat stiffly for the whole night. After he felt comfortable, he sat down to drink water, eat dry food, and restored his tired body and spirit after running for a night. The rest of the soldiers and soldiers also followed suit and acted with him.

These are not only Yang Zaixing's prestige is enough to shock these soldiers, but also conscious behaviors brought by years of training and military career. Even if no generals give orders, these soldiers do not need to be ordered by others in this situation, so they will still act.

At dawn in the east, there were already scattered pedestrians in the distance. There were also farmers who got up early to go to the fields on the edge of the farmland. More than 300 soldiers hid in the farmland and hid in the depths of the farmland. Some people were bored and lie on the ground and closed their eyes to rest, some whispered, and some pulled out the weeds on the ground and chewed in their mouths, feeling the smell of earth with fishy smell, and dogs barking in the distance. Looking at the pedestrians on the road, it turned out to be like a normal season, making people wonder where they were.

However, the enemy's defense is so loose, which proves that the pseudo-Qi army has no intention of fighting against the Song army anymore. The main force and energy are all on guarding the city, so there is such no defense at the junction of the two armies.

But after a long time, many people were standing up as they waited. Looking into the distance, Yang Zaixing repeatedly whispered, but still gave up a group of soldiers. Another group of soldiers stood up, not taking him as the chief general seriously. Yang Zaixing was furious. Fortunately, he had several confidant generals and officials assisted during this period. The generals were not as good as soldiers. After a few battles, he knew Yang Zaixing's foundation and was very convinced by him. At this time, he helped to scold the soldiers and barely maintained the general's discipline.

After waiting for a while, the cavalrymen who went to reconnaissance rushed back. The few of them didn't care about sweating, and hurriedly exchanged and summarized the situations they saw, and then used charcoal to make a simple map and presented it to Yang Zaixing.

Later generations thought this kind of reconnaissance collection was simple. However, these professional scouts studied in Chang'an for several months and after a long period of practical training, they were able to use it proficiently and no longer make mistakes.

Yang Zaixing took a rough look and knew that the enemy in Zhuxian Town did not arrange heavy troops, which was still the same as before. There were only a few commanders and commanders, stationed in the town with five or six thousand troops, divided into stairs, supporting each other for early warning. Once there was an enemy situation, he would first send people to Kaifeng to report the information. It was a large-scale ground-based cavalry team, and he did not expect to be able to defend the attack of the Song army.

If someone else had changed to someone else, knowing that the situation in Zhuxian Town was not enough to pose a danger, and the information had already been on the head coach's desk, he would choose to take a detour and head straight to Kaifeng to test the reactions in Kaifeng City, and to see if the Jin soldiers had arrived. Only Yang Zaixing, although was reminded by Yue Fei, was still full of fighting spirit in his heart and could not be curbed.

After listening to the report from the detective cavalry, Yang Zaixing looked at the many generals around him and asked in a low voice:

"How? Should I fight or let go?" The generals around him were all his carefully selected confidants, including Wang Lan, Gao Lin, Li De, etc., or deputy generals, or commanders. They can command more than a thousand people in other troops. Each of them is the top-ranked general in the army. When they saw Yang Zaixing's expression, they didn't know what he thought. They immediately looked at each other and said, "Zhu Xianzhen has such a few people, what are we going to be afraid of? After not fighting for so long, the enemy has become more and more arrogant. Do you think we are afraid of them?" Wang Lan thought the most at the center of the generals.

In order to be meticulous and delicate, looking at Yang Zaixing's face, he knew that Yue Fei must have given him instructions not to take too much risk. His eyes spread a little, and then he smiled at Yang Zaixing: "We are ordered to come here, just to detect the enemy's situation and alarm the snake. Three hundred people cannot attack the city and plunder the land, and they cannot burn, kill and loot. How can we be shocked if we don't attack these garrisons? Fortunately, there are not many garrisons in Zhuxian Town, so we will be surprised to attack him and take advantage of it before leaving. In this way, Kaifeng City will receive military newspapers, and there will be any countermeasures, which is not better than running around and hitting them?"

Yue Fei sent Yang Zaixing, but in fact he had such an intention. Yang Zaixing was scolded by him and failed to show off his courage. Instead, he stopped thinking for a while. At this time, he was awakened by Wang Lan's words and realized immediately.

Immediately, I focused my head and smiled at everyone, "This is reasonable. If this is the case, let's do it. Send the order and everyone sets off!" With the order of the commander, more than 300 soldiers who were impatiently carrying danger immediately turned over to their horses. Everyone did not have to hide their image at this time. Moreover, it was dawn, and although they were hiding deep in the bushes, those who were interested could see them. Everyone rushed out quickly and ran wildly towards the town on the official road. Along the way, pedestrians collided with the cavalry. At first, they were shocked, but they all looked happy.

Yang Zaixing saw clearly on the galloping horse, knowing that people's hearts are facing each other, and he feels more confident in his heart.

The place where they hid was only a few miles away from Zhuxian Town. Hundreds of cavalry rushed forward with the fastest horsepower. However, the tea time had already spread everywhere outside the town. The garrison inside and outside the town had already discovered this Song army. There was a loud noise in the military camp outside the town. More than a thousand pseudo-Qi soldiers were sparsely formed, and many people were still tired, holding the weapons in their hands, and many generals shouted and scolded, but they could not succeed.

Yang Zaixing looked contemptuous and said to himself: "A army like this dares to block my army." He waved his hand, and more than 300 cavalry rushed up. Most of the enemy were infantry, with a small number of officers and war horses. Seeing the fierceness of the army coming from the Weiwei, he immediately retreated in panic. The generals retreated, and the soldiers were even more panic. When the Weiwei soldiers rushed to the front of the formation, the infantry formation was not yet arranged. More than 300 Weiwei soldiers shouted in unison, dancing with all kinds of weapons in their hands, slashing guns, bayonets, and smashing axes and sticks. When one came, dozens of people had already lie down on the opposite side. A strong smell of blood spread out in the air.

At this time, many enemy soldiers had already discovered that this Song cavalry was unusual. Some were slightly sharp-eyed, but they found that there was a black iron gourd on the right side of the cavalry's breastplate. They were immediately frightened and looked deserted. They waved their hands and shouted, "It's the back army here!" After saying that, all the pseudo-Qi soldiers were so scared that they looked deserted and retreated one after another. Even the generals who were still willing to resist were shocked and determined to escape.

The Beck Army originally meant to carry a wine pot for the commander, and it was also the personal soldiers around the generals, so it was extremely combat-capable. In the Song army, many generals had the system of the Beck Warrior Army, and only Yue Fei's Beckrior Army was the most famous. In order to ensure that each army had its own personality and combat effectiveness after the reform, Zhao Huan specially allowed each imperial guard to maintain a special military horn in addition to the formal military organization. The Beckrior Army under Yue Fei's command was the strongest combat power and was the only cavalry unit among hundreds of thousands of imperial guards with this military horn. Such an elite army was not afraid of defending the Jin soldiers, let alone these mere shrimp soldiers and crab generals. When the other party heard that the Beckrior Army came, he was so scared that he wanted to turn around and escape.

Yang Zaixing was originally worried about Yue Fei's lesson, but this time he did not rush to the front, but seeing the lively killing in front of him, people rolling around and limbs everywhere, his soldiers were getting bloody, so he didn't care much about it. He immediately rode forward and chased the enemy generals who wanted to escape.

He stepped off the war horse and was specially configured for generals. He was better than ordinary soldiers. He was determined to beat the horse and rushed. There were originally more than a dozen people following him. When he chased the cavalry team of more than a hundred people, he was the only one. Seeing that his power was lonely, many people turned around and stabbed him with guns. Yang Zaixing was not afraid at all. He waved the iron spear in his hand. Anyone with the touch was broken and his muscles and bones fell down. No one was his enemy. Seeing that he was so brave, no one dared to fight with him anymore. He just said a word.
