Chapter 149: The Strong Enemy Appears
The enemy general was so weak that he was harassed and frightened. He was anxious and scared, so he could not answer any more.
Yang Zaixing put him on himself and continued to chase and fight. The iron spear inevitably added more than ten or twenty lives. Another half hour passed. The small battle was finally over. He turned around and hundreds of dangerous cavalry chased him. Everyone was full of excitement. The soldiers talked and laughed happily, telling the battle just now. Behind them, hundreds of enemy soldiers knelt on the ground and asked to surrender. The dead bodies were lying or lying in groups of two or three, and a stream of blood filled the smell of flies. Flies were already coming and coiled around the corpses.
Yang Zaixing knew that this was just a team stationed by the enemy outside the town. It was not good and the number was not large. It was not surprising that he was quickly beaten. He listened and looked at it carefully. He could only hear the crowds of people in the town, the sound of horse hooves, and the smoke and dust rolled up. It was obvious that a large group of people were gathering and mobilizing.
The generals and servants around him were all powerful players on the battlefield and had extremely rich experience in fighting. Although the other party reacted very much at this time, everyone was not panicked. They just stood on the horse with spears and kept watching the movements in the town while drinking water and resting. They also ordered people to interrogate the prisoners to learn the details. The steps were in order, so there was no need for Yang Zaixing to give more instructions.
After delaying another cup of tea, Yang Zaixing realized that he had defeated the troops and horses that were controlled by Yingchang's Hou Army, killing more than 500 people, capturing more than 300 people, and hundreds of people fled into the town, unable to catch up.
The commander-in-law was captured by Yang Zaixing himself. At this time, he was tied up like a rice dumpling and could not move.
An officer of this level would naturally have to be brought back to the camp and handed over to the commander to the commander to the position of the captives, while most of the other captured soldiers were ordinary soldiers. Yang Zaixing's troops dared to go deep into the enemy territory, relying on the fast and mobile cavalry swaying ability. It would definitely not be possible to bring them with them, but they were unwilling to accept it if they were relieved.
Before Yang Zaixing could think carefully, Wang Lan and the generals had already ordered that dozens of soldiers jumped off the horse and arrived at the prisoners. They raised their swords and screamed in pain. In a moment, hundreds of prisoners had already cut off one hand, and some people struggled to resist or wanted to escape. They killed them with one knife.
Yang Zaixing was in danger for the first time, and this was the first time he saw such a way to deal with prisoners, and was shocked.
Seeing his expression, Wang Lan smiled and said, "This is the rule in our army. In fact, the rest of the troops will deal with this way when they encounter such a situation. We cannot bring these people with us and do not give them some small punishments. Who is still afraid in the future? One of them returns to their hometown without any hand, and one thousand people are killed and dare not join the army to fight with the golden dog." Yang Zaixing knew it was reasonable. He just looked at the captives wailing and screaming. But he was always sad in his heart, and said, "These people cannot farm and farm after they go home. Isn't it the same as executing them." But he replied lightly: "It's reasonable, the next time it's the general." While he agreed, he summoned the generals.
Looking at the smoke and dust in the town, he said to everyone: "I think there are probably two or three thousand people in this town. Should we leave here, or kill him for another time?" "Of course, kill him for another time, only two or three thousand people, where are you afraid of him?" "There is no problem to fight against one and ten." Liu u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
At the next order, while the enemy soldiers in the town had not yet gathered and arranged the formation, Sanbaihou, led by Yang Zaixing and others, rushed straight into the town and rushed back and forth. From noon until the sun was sunny, thousands of enemy soldiers inside and outside the town were beaten to dust by these hundreds of cavalrymen, and ran away in a row, and could not form a formation to resist. In the evening, seeing that the sky was going dark, which was not conducive to the cavalry's rush, Yang Zaixing's troops led the knights to retreat slowly from the outside of the town and headed towards Kaifeng.
Later, the results of the battle were calculated. In addition to killing hundreds of people in the daytime, capturing hundreds of people, capturing the captive army, the commander of the Yingchang Pacification Department was also killed, and the commander of the Yingchang Pacification Department was killed. The pacification envoy Zhang fled in panic and was defeated and did not dare to resist at all. A rough calculation was that more than a thousand enemy troops were killed and more than 3,000 enemy troops were killed. The entire Zhuxian Town was in chaos and was startled overnight. Until the end of the war, there was no pseudo-Qi troops in the entire town. It was really scared that he was beaten by the dangerous army, and no one dared to stop his sharp edge.
During the day, although the soldiers who were extremely elite were extremely tired, they were also very powerful, and their horsepower was difficult to support. On the surface, the small cavalry team ran towards Kaifeng after leaving the town. When they saw the pseudo-Qi soldiers hurriedly called the police in Kaifeng. In fact, Yang Zaixing and his subordinates hid in the grass wasteland near Zhuxian Town for a day and a night. On the evening of the third day, it was exactly the first day of May. The whole army had finished resting and adjustments, and was full of fighting spirit and continued to rush towards Kaifeng.
The reason why he set out in the evening and rushed to the enemy during the middle of the night was also a decision after careful consideration. Although he had to face the danger of being attacked calmly by the enemy during the day, it was more conducive to the assembly, raiding, or even retreating and escaping. Moreover, he rushed to the middle of the night and suddenly launched an attack during the day, which also prevented the enemy from calmly dispatching troops and deploying pursuers, minimizing the danger.
The day before yesterday, Zhu Xian's battle made the entire army highly motivated and made Yang Zaixing's prestige in the army greatly increase. Everyone was not blind. They could still say that they should keep their hands when fighting in the school competition, and they could not tell who was higher or lower. When they arrived on the battlefield, everyone was between life and death. Who could still keep their hands? Naturally, they tried their best to fight with the enemy. When the conditions were equal, Yang Zaixing's courage was naturally seen by everyone, and no one was dissatisfied. In this way, when he issued the order of generals, it was much smoother than in the past. The soldiers were all rough and upright men. They were not convinced on their faces, but the word "submission" was written in their hearts. As long as they were recognized, they would sell their lives for the main generals without any doubts. Taking such a group of brothers and feet to fight, Yang Zaixing was very happy and full of confidence in this mission.
On the second day of the fifth month, when we arrived in Chenliu County, Kaifeng, we occasionally saw pseudo-Qi cavalry along the way. When we saw the Song cavalry, we fled at the wind and did not dare to fight. After entering Chenliu, we were already not far from Kaifeng City, so we were looking at it. Through the blue and white sky, we seemed to see gray-black brick walls, towering on the ground not far away. When we thought of rescuing the old capital, everyone was surging and unable to control themselves.
At noon, he was resting outside a small town. There was no garrison in the town. The people in the town did not avoid suspicion. The villagers cooked and served tea to reward the only Song army in the past few years. While everyone was drinking water and eating, Yang Zaixing asked about the enemy situation. He knew that the pseudo-Qi was only looking to defend Kaifeng, and he did not dare to waste troops outside the towns or county towns. The military situation was so tense that even normal official affairs could not be maintained. It was about to be harvested in the summer. In previous years, officials at all levels had already been preparing to urge the people to pay the food and pay taxes and urged and abuse them in every way. At this time this year, most of the officials of all sizes fled to Kaifeng for temporary escape. The yamen runners who were usually punished for the tiger also fled and avoided themselves, and did not dare to go rampant again.
According to the administrative and geographical divisions of the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng was under management of more than ten counties, which were extremely wide in a square area. The real city center was only Kaifeng and Xiangfu. Chenliu was already close to the city. Although Yang Zaixing knew that the enemy did not dare to go out, considering that the enemy still gathered more than 100,000 people in the city, there might be a large number of cavalry. His team of soldiers was only used for sentry detectives to reconnaise and did not need to withstand unnecessary losses. Seeing that there was nothing wrong here, he did not dare to neglect. Even though most of the cavalry still rested on the spot, he planned to take a small number of cavalry to explore the enemy situation near Kaifeng City.
However, as the chief general, how could the other generals let him take risks himself? As soon as the decision was made, everyone would object. If Yang Zaixing used to be a tough guy, he would naturally go there himself. However, at this moment, he knew that he was carrying heavy responsibilities and could not make any mistakes easily. He now discussed with the generals and decided to send his general Wang Gang to lead fifty cavalry to reconnaissance.
Yang Zaixing could not be completely relieved when sending You Ge's scout cavalry. He sent more than ten cavalry to reconnaissance in order to find out the enemy's situation when the enemy approached.
Wang Gang used it very shortly, and in just over an hour, he had already returned with more than fifty riders.
Yang Zaixing had a good eye. From a distance, he saw that the first few horsemen were covered in armor and blood. When he looked at the cavalry behind him, and his arms were wrapped in gauze, he was alert and knew that he must have encountered a strong enemy, otherwise this dangerous knight would not have even been cleaned up and would have come back like that.
He immediately ordered all the soldiers to board the horse immediately and prepare to face the enemy. He and several generals fought and went forward. When Wang Gang got closer, Yang Zaixing asked anxiously: "What is the situation of the enemy? How many soldiers have been dispatched?" But no wonder he was anxious. The soldiers of the dangerous army were not only invincible, but also had first-class alertness. They could make them hurry back and even with a lot of lottery on their bodies. The enemy must have dispatched a large number of cavalry to be able to do so.
Wang Gang was not as anxious as he was. When he saw his colleagues greet him, he was full of excitement. He first gave Yang Zaixing a gift, and then laughed and said, "I'm so happy to pick up the lottery today!"
