Chapter 143 Yinuo Light Gold-1

After the colonel finished reading, the infantry and cavalry camp left the venue in an orderly manner, and the gentry and people gathered to disperse. From the Wharf of Western Australia to Guangzhou, there were groups of children running by shouting "Wansheng". People gathered together to talk about the military appearance of the colonel, some talked about the South China Sea Expedition and the Northern Expedition, some talked about Zhao Xingde and Chen Gongju, especially Zhao Xingde. Whether it was a wealthy businessman or a sailor, everyone was circulating his deeds, from the Northern Expedition to the Western Expedition to the Western Expedition, to every word and action, as if the characters in the script suddenly came to life in this dynasty, everyone was happy for it.

If the navy had not been about to sail far, there might have been many Confucian scholars who would have to fight to worship him.

After the collar's review, the navy officers and soldiers were all raised. There was only one thing that everyone hoped for. Under the command of Zhao Xingde, the troops should be sent as soon as possible, and the ships should be strong and cannons should be strong, and the soldiers should be strong. They will surely sweep away all forces in the South China Sea in one fell swoop. They will be invincible and everyone will be full of confidence in victory. In an optimistic atmosphere, they will repair the sea ships, replenish supplies, train sailors, and all preparations will be completed in an orderly manner. Everything is ready, just waiting for the northeast wind to rise, Yang Fan will sail...

On the third day of September, we finally waited for a stable northeastern trade wind. The military situation urged by the Guguo Mansion was like fire, and the season of the trade wind was not waiting for anyone. Zhao Xingde immediately ordered the preparation to set sail. The day for the fleet to set sail was scheduled for the tenth day of September. In addition to the more than 80 warships of the main fleet of the South China Sea Navy, there were more than 200 warships of the squadrons, as well as more than 300 merchant ships in the southeast coast. The owners of the merchant ships prepared their goods at the WA Wharf early, hoping that the trade wind would arrive. Therefore, everyone agreed on a good day and made their final preparations.

On the ninth day of the ninth month, Zhao Xingde came to the inn where the envoy of Xia Kingdom lived and said goodbye to Li Rui and others.

Li Rui took the letter bag and felt that he sank the hand and almost fell to the ground. He couldn't help but look at Zhao Xingde in confusion.

Zhao Xingde smiled bitterly and explained: "This is a letter from home. Please ask Brother Li to bring it to my inner son."

"Okay." Li Rui was not a talkative person, nodded, "Then I hope you will return to your hometown." Li Rui and Zhao Xingde were both from the Song Dynasty, but they became officials in Xia Kingdom. The word "hometown" is concise and to the point. The hometown they think of in their hearts is the real hometown. He shook his head and sighed, "You are a longing for your wife and children. I only think of the sky-viewing mirrors in Dunhuang. My mentor has poor eyesight, and several junior brothers have gone to various places to observe the sky and the earth. The data accumulated over the past few months are always uneasy." After saying that, he turned around and put the letter bag. In order to return to Dunhuang as soon as possible, Li Rui had already agreed to abandon the boat and the boat. The two of them galloped back to Guanzhong with a few guards. Along the way, the Military Information Department arranged a horse replacement matter, and the foot journey was only a little slower than the urgent delivery.

"The emperor also wishes General Zhao a good news and return to his hometown in honor." Deputy envoy Tan Lanxi smiled on his face and bowed to his hands together.

"Don't be polite, Lord Tan." Zhao Xingde waved his hand, "The two of you are not far away, and they are also for Zhao. Speaking of which, Zhao has to thank you for you." He smiled, "If the march goes well, I hope to thank Lord Tan in Luoyang at this time next year." After saying that, he raised the teacup and toasted each other with tea instead of wine. "The general is in love, but the subordinates dare not," Tan Lanxi hurriedly raised the teacup and said in a deep voice: "Besides, the precious sword is sharp, and after the Turkic court is flattened, I hope my subordinates can listen to the general's teachings again in Luoyang."

The two looked at each other and smiled, each drank the tea, and everything was indifferent.

Zhao Xingde was busy with military affairs and said goodbye to leave with just a few words. Tan Lanxi saw him leave, his eyes showing regret.

If the Battle of the Great Food cannot have a result within one or two years, it will be a disaster and not a blessing for the Xia Kingdom. Once the war in the west stabilizes, the eastern battlefield will regain the attention of the Guardian Mansion. It would be fine if the Liao and Song generals remained safe and maintained a balance of power. Now the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty is determined to fight in the north. It seems that within the past two years, the two tigers of the Liao and Song dynasties will inevitably fight and be covered in wounds. At that time, it may be a chance to unify the Three Kingdoms. However, for Zhao Xingde, if he refused to be an enemy of the Song Kingdom, he would have to be disarmed and returned to the field. This is not only the fate of Zhao Xingde alone, but also the fate of the scholars of the Song Kingdom who refused to surrender to Guanxi, and some even bleed.

In any case, it is a pity to hide the sword.

On the ninth day of the ninth month, the grass in Khorasan was already yellow.

Before the Xia army attacked the Rom Turks, the Gassini princes in the southeast had to be resolved. After the Gassini king Duwula refused to form an alliance, the General's Mansion mobilized elite troops from the river to enrich Huwen City, and sent cavalry deep into the Gassini territory, burned grasslands, destroyed water sources, and never let them go when they met tribes and people and animals. They all killed or captured them. The Gassini princes were restless and complained, and finally caused the Gassini king Duwula to lead a 50,000 infantry and cavalry army to attack Huwen City. The Xia army held on the city for more than ten days. When the Gassini army was fully fed, Huwen City opened the gates, and the Xia family of infantry and cavalry went out of the city to fight.

On this day, the sky was clear, the north wind was howling, and the air was filled with a bitter murderous intent.

The river beach is golden and undulating with the wind. This piece of weed grows very well. From a distance, it looks like the wheat waves in the river.

However, in the golden waves of grass, the Xia cavalry pressed their mounts tightly, the war horses lying on their side, and the people leaned down with their horses heads, just hidden in this lush autumn grass. Everyone looked solemn, and listened to the roar of horse hooves faintly from the distance, and no one whispered. Because the weeds were very thick, if they didn't stand up, they wouldn't be able to see the situation of the battlefield in the wilderness ahead. However, no one dared to stand up straight,

This river beach is low and soft, and the horses cannot run, which is an extremely unfavorable terrain for the cavalry. If discovered by the Gasenis, as long as you condescend a high impact, you can drive the ambushed Xia cavalry down the river. However, because of this, the Gasenis did not expect that the elite Xia cavalry were ambushed in the river beach where the seemingly unobstructed and could not hide anything. Moreover, this area was the place where the Gasenis came to cut grass a few days ago.

"I wonder how the battle between the big formation is going?" said Yu Decheng, a marching Sima.

"Don't worry!" Wang Tongdeng gently patted the war horse's neck, comforted the mount, and sneered, "The two imperial guards, Jiao Rong and Lian Rui, are both defending in the formation. Not to mention the mere princes of Galseni, even if Rom Sultan came in person, he would have to break his teeth." He looked back and saw that the cavalry and mount were still stable, but when the wind blew the grass swayed, the expectation on the soldiers' faces showed.

He closed his eyes slightly, listened carefully to the sound of cannons and guns, shouting and killing, horse hooves, and singing in the wind.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom"

Wang Tongdeng suddenly opened his eyes and saw three brilliant fireworks rising into the air, "Get on the horse!" he shouted loudly.

"Get on the horse!" Before he finished speaking, Wang Tongdeng took the lead in getting on the war horse and raised his big gun.

The mount exerted force with four hooves, shaking and stood up from the autumn grass, with most of his body exposed on the grass.

The vision suddenly opened up, and Wang Tongdeng felt his spirits excited. Around him, war horses stood up one after another, and cavalry appeared from the grass. Looking around, long spears like forests were erected everywhere on the wide river beach, and countless sharp spear blades flashed with cold light. Wang Tongdeng knew that in order to give a fatal blow to the Gassini princes coalition, the Xia army had ambushed tens of thousands of cavalry on this river beach. In front of them, the Gassini army had been completely entangled with the Xia Kingdom formation, and even the imperial guards of Duwula, King Gassini, had already moved.

"Crash with me!" Wang Tongdeng shouted, lifted the reins, and the war horse shaking and breaking through the grass and moving forward.

At the same time, other cavalry were already urging their mounts to walk quickly. This river beach grass is not suitable for cavalry running, and they need to escape as soon as possible. Tens of thousands of cavalry hidden in the river beach grass with unfavorable terrain is a huge bet. If the Gassini cavalry reacted and used thousands of cavalry to charge in a condescending way, the Xia cavalry would be scattered and had no speed advantage, and would suffer heavy losses and would even be crushed on the river beach. However, the Gassini army did not seem to have such a skill. When a large number of Xia cavalry suddenly emerged in the grass not far from the battlefield, several princes immediately retreated first. Several other Gassini generals desperately summoned their subordinates in the melee, but for a while, they could not gather even hundreds of cavalry.

"Kill!" Wang Tongdeng finally rode out of the river beach and grass. He shouted, "Crash with me."

The moment the war horse jumped up and the four hooves stepped onto the solid ground, Wang Tongdeng's blood seemed to be burning.

Although he had not yet fought, he had already confirmed that the enemy would be defeated. "Kill!" "Kill!" One cavalry after another rushed out of the river beach. Seeing the chaotic enemy, they were inexplicably excited. For experienced cavalry, defeating such an enemy was like cutting the meat on the chopping board. However, according to the regulations, the cavalry should complete a team and charge towards the enemy. At this time, a large number of subsequent cavalry were still slowly advancing in the grass on the river beach. Many Xia cavalry looked at the surrounding robes. At this time, Wang Tongdeng, as the commander, shouted "Crash with me" and rushed out first. More and more cavalrymen followed him without hesitation, and more and more cavalry followed them, regardless of their battalions, and the accelerated cavalry formed a front arrow formation.

"Why are you still standing there?! Go!" Wang Ling shouted loudly, calling his cavalry to rush forward.

His 100-man team had less than thirty cavalry. However, when Wang Ling saw the chaos of the Gaseni army in front, he immediately recognized Wang Tongdeng's decision to attack quickly. Although Wang Ling was not Wang Tongdeng's subordinate, and he didn't even know that the brave general who led the battle was the commander of the second army of Flower Hats, this did not prevent him from following the correct decision on the battlefield.

"Run!" "Run with me!"

As if an appointment was made, one cavalry officer after another took the lead in rushing towards the enemy.

Although the tens of thousands of cavalry who had walked out of the river beach had no time to complete the team, they rushed towards the center of the battlefield like a flood that broke out. Countless long spears flashed with cold light, and countless war horses trampled on the ground, smacking heavily into the enemy's mind like thunder, making them panic. "Kill with me." Wang Tongdeng rushed to the front, staring at the enemy in front. However, before the cavalry vanguard contacted the enemy, the Gassini army had already begun to flee in all directions. The powerful Gassini army collapsed without any meaningful resistance.
