Chapter 101 Yelang Wanli Road-17—

?Under the rush of the White Feather Army, the Liao cavalry had almost no decent resistance and fled in panic. After the Xia cavalry repelled the Liao army, they gathered to rest not far from the Song army formation. Most of the cavalry jumped off their war horses and took out some essence and water bags from the skin behind the saddle to feed the horses. A cavalry in a cloak rode his horse and circled outside the Song army formation for a moment. After identifying the Zhao Xingde's flag, the horses were urged to approach. The Song army soldiers were in a stir. The soldiers in the front row consciously held the musket guns tightly, and countless eyes were staring at the uninvited guest.

"Good. The town ** doesn't have this big show, and the Xijing Army doesn't have this courage," Luo Xianshi murmured, "What kind of people are this?"

The soldiers of the Song army were surprised, and the officers loudly reminded the soldiers not to relax their vigilance and maintain their formation. "I don't know which part of the troops?" The soldiers around them whispered, but Zhao Xingde's expression was complicated and silent. The White Feather Army was named after the feather ornament on his helmet, and the white swan feather was produced in Xiaohai, Beizhou, which was the most obvious mark.

The cavalry held the war horses outside the range of the musket guns and shouted: "General Wujie greeted General Zhao!"

The generals showed doubts, "It's the Xia army!" The guards Ouyang Shan reacted first. At this time, Zhao Xingde replied, "Salute to General Wu." Ouyang Shan nodded and shouted loudly: "The southeast camp of the Song Dynasty is deployed, and the pacification envoy of the Jingji Road is here. General Zhao Xingde is here to express his wish to the general of the Wujie of the Great Xia!" After the two sides agreed, the Xia flag sign official sent his horse back. "Master," Ouyang Shan whispered: "The people of Xia are coming in a fierce manner, and it is difficult to treat guests." Zhao Xingde frowned slightly, sighed, and said nothing.

Five hundred steps away from the Song army formation, Wu Jie was in military uniform. After hearing the flag-plaque's reply, Wu Jie was slightly stunned and repeated in a low voice: "The southeast camp of the Song Dynasty is deployed, and the Jingji Road Pacifier?" A playful smile appeared on his lips. "General," Shi Jingkui's face changed slightly, and he whispered, "Maybe it's a misunderstanding, this is to cover up the eyes and ears."

"Don't worry about these." Wu Jie shook his head and turned his eyes to Gao Gongmao. "The most urgent task is to pursue the Khitan defeated soldiers and defeat the Liao emperor's imperial account in one fell swoop!" As soon as he finished speaking, "crack-----" another loud thunder came from the distance, and the plain seemed to be shaking. With this loud noise, it began to rain. The sky covered with dark clouds seemed to leak. Water quickly began to accumulate on the ground, and some places quickly became very muddy. 4∴8065 Some cavalry struggled to pull the war horses from the low-lying point to a higher place. However, the horse's hooves were deeply trapped in the mud, and the people and horses were very inconvenient to move. The cavalry's iron armor weighed more than 50 kilograms, and the war horse harness was heavier.

"If the heavy rain falls, the whole ground will be soft," Gao Gongmao shook his head, "It's hard to catch up with the Khitans."

"Without any time, remove the iron armor immediately," Wu Jie ordered without hesitation, "and then, chase south!"

Gao Gongmao was stunned, then clasped his fists and said, "Abide by the order!" He turned around and went to wear the order. Soon, the cavalry of each battalion began to take off his armor, retaining only the two crotchs and iron helmets on the front, chest and back. After the man took off his armor, he took off his armor and put the armor neatly on the ground, then rolled his saddle on the horse, and drove southward. The armor equipment left on the spot totaled more than 15,000 deputy, each team was a pile, and each battalion was arranged neatly, like an array of large armies.

The abnormal behavior of the Xia army made the soldiers next to him stunned. The price of the best iron armor was about 40 guan, and the price of war horse harness was even more expensive. It was really puzzling to abandon it anywhere. "The iron armor in Guanzhong is the best, light and strong," Lu Mingyu licked his mouth and murmured, "Good thing!" The generals agreed, all looking at the iron armor on the ground, wishing that the Xia army would disappear from sight immediately. Regardless of the thirty-one, they would pick up the armor on this ground first." "The people of Guanxi seem honest, but they are actually very smart," Luo Xianshi shook his head, "I'm afraid there is no such cheap thing."

As if echoing his words, a cavalry of the White Feather Army rushed towards the Song army's infantry formation and shouted loudly: "To help you, let us go and chase the Liao thieves first. We will keep the armor for the time being. We hope that your army will keep it safe and not neglect it!" After he finished shouting, he sent horses to catch up with the large group of people without waiting for the answer here.

Mingyu couldn't help but curse, "Do you think we are the Xiangjun?" He turned around and said, "Ouyang Shan, you scold him!"

Ouyang Shan smiled slightly. As the escort of the escort, he could compete with Lu Mingyu in his official rank, but he was well-educated. Lu Mingyu occasionally drank to him, and Ouyang Shan did not disobey him, let alone this was the time when he hated the enemy.

He immediately shouted, "Since you are allies, why should you distinguish them from each other!"

Lu Mingyu understood, patted Ouyang Shan on the shoulder and smiled, "Shameless, you are there." Several officers laughed together.

Yang Renzheng led his troops to be the defender, and he could hear all the questions and answers clearly. Seeing that the cavalry on his side were speechless for a while, Yang Ren smiled slightly, lowered his head and gave a few words to his mouth. His subordinates nodded slightly and told each other. After a moment, the soldiers of the battalion shouted in unison: "If the Chu people lose their bows, the Chu people get it, they can be separated from each other!" After shouting this, more than 500 cavalrymen urged their horses to march south.

"Oh," Ouyang Shan recalled and slapped his forehead and said, "The heart of Xia Kingdom to annex our dynasty is obvious." Seeing that the generals were puzzled, he explained, "This statement of Chu bow and Chu got Chu was out of the 'Confucius's family words'. The King of Chu lost his bow and the servants searched for him. The King of Chu stopped him and said, "The Chu people lost their bows, and the Chu people got them. Since the Chu people had no losses, why should I look for it?"

"Oh," the general of the Yong, Xia Biao, still didn't understand, "So what?"

"Hi! I asked you to read more books." Lu Mingyu patted Xia Biao, and explained again with regret.

"Oh, so that's it," Xia Biao patted the money on his helmet, and he sniffed, "The guy from Kansai is very angry."

When reporting on military merits, Xia Maoer felt that his nickname was too ugly, so he asked someone to help him get a decent name. Because Mao was a little tiger, he changed his name to Xia Biao, but the word "Biao" was too many strokes, and he couldn't write it completely now. Because he was not familiar with literature, although Xia Biao made many military achievements, he was just a commander of a battalion. The situation of his soldiers was similar to that of him. Xia Biao ordered them to cast the "Saint Song Tongbao" from his military merits on an iron helmet, and the silver coins were sewn on the collar of the robe and circulated outside, showing the great military achievements of the base camp. This move was imitated by various battalions, also known as "money soldiers" and "money soldiers".

The heavy rain fell, and the Khitan cavalry and the Xia cavalry left one after another, but in a short time it was impossible for the infantry to chase the cavalry. The Song army simply set up camp for a while and waited for the rain to advance again after the rain. The soldiers took out the felt blankets and supported the four corners of the blankets with deer antlers. The blankets were connected by hundreds of felt blankets. The blankets were overlapped and tied tightly with leather ropes, which became a large area of ​​shelter from shelter. Around the garrison, there were soldiers digging soil and moats to prevent the rain from flowing into the camping place. The rain was extremely rainy outside, and the water vapor was steaming, and the felt blanket was not seen, and the ground was not muddy. The Song army had such a shelter from rain in the heavy rain, and it was just enough to rest and wait for the rain to stop before moving south.

The raindrops fell on Yang Ren's iron helmet, and his military robe was completely soaked. The rain flowed along the belly of the war horse to the ground and formed streams. The rain came very quickly. From a distance, there was no more than ten steps away. Within the field of view, the vast plain seemed to have become a country of marsh, and clusters of weeds floated in the water.

In the heavy rain, the cavalry of Xia maintained their formation and led their war horses to move forward. From time to time, they encountered small groups of Liao troops. In the heavy rain, the already chaotic Liao troops could not gather again. In addition to escaping, they were surrendered. Wu Jie ordered that all the Liao troops who surrendered would cut off their left and right thumbs, so that they could no longer be enemies with Xia. In order to prevent the Liao troops from leaking the net as much as possible, the formation of Xia cavalry of Xia also dispersed a lot, rushing the army and capturing the thief army.

Walking in front, it almost formed a "one-character" formation like a big net. The White Feather Army fell behind, and the formation was kept slightly closer. Each cavalry battalion corresponded to the positions of the two cavalry battalions in front. Until now, the White Feather Army had almost not experienced many decent battles. What the Xia army did was just to take away the abandoned horses and leave the descendants in the heavy rain. Every ten miles ahead would allow the war horses to rest, and the soldiers could also eat some dry food.

"Go forward!" Yang Ren ordered.

His knees were sore, but he was still the first to stand up. Marines in rainy days would be more physically than under normal circumstances. The soldiers stood up again, urging their mounts to wade through the mud and headed south. Such a arduous continuous marching was rarely encountered even when exterminated the horse thieves in Mobei. The mud and heavy rain in the Song Dynasty were indeed impressive.

The heavy rain continued intermittently, almost a whole day. The heavy rain was not conducive to firearms and cavalry. Therefore, the Liao and Song armies both stopped and spent this relatively calm, wet and yin day. The clouds were clear and the rain was getting late, and neither army had any interest in night fighting, so they only sent scouts to prevent the other from attacking the camp.

"Damn it, the rain in the Southern Dynasties, the mud." Urgon cursed in a low voice.

He looked at Yelu Yanshan with some concern. Among the generals, Yelu Yanshan and Urgon were the most accompanied, but now they were lying in the wolf-skin bedding with a blush on their faces, muttering nonsense. In a day, His Majesty came to visit him twice and ordered the best shaman to treat him, but it was still useless. His injuries worsened again. Urgon came to see him four times. He prayed devoutly for this friend. After the end of the heavens, Yelu Dashi summoned the generals to discuss military affairs. When Urgon arrived, the military discussion had already begun. Before Urgon could speak, Yelu Dashi saw him, frowned, and waved his hand to let him sit down without prosecution. The ground in the imperial account was dry, the firewood was burning very vigorously, and every general reflected in the face was bright. But Urgon knew that many warriors' tents were still soaked in mud.
