What is the role of the commander-in-chief of an army?
This question is a matter of different opinions.
What qualities, or abilities, should an army commander possess?
Some people say that one is as cunning as a fox.
Some people say look at the overall situation.
someone said.
But few people say that the commander-in-chief of an army should rush into battle. When the enemy breaks through, what should the commander-in-chief of an army do?
decision making!
Send people to block it and fight back!
This is the choice of most commanders!
But Yang Xuan chose to lead his army to fight back in person.
It’s been a long time!
Jiang He'er remembered that Yang Xuan had not rushed to the formation for a long time. It seemed that he had stopped rushing to the formation since he took charge of Northern Xinjiang and gradually gained power and respect from his subordinates.
It's been so long that she forgot about her boss's cultivation.
When the enemy's heavy cavalry broke in today, Yang Xuan led the Xuanjia cavalry to attack. At that moment, Jiang Heer was a little flustered.
She didn't know what she was holding, so when she saw Yang Xuan in crisis, she couldn't help but squeeze it tightly. When Yang Xuan showed his strength, she clenched it again and cheered.
When he saw Yang Xuan holding the enemy's head high, Jiang He'er couldn't help but hold the thing and raised his hand, "Wan Sheng!"
"You're almost done!"
Helianyan said.
Jiang He'er looked up and lowered her head, only to realize that she had been holding He Lianyan's hand. She blurted out, "No wonder I said it was so soft."
"Wan Sheng!" Jiang He'er's face flushed with excitement. "Yan'er, look at the Duke! Just now I said that the Duke shouldn't go!"
"It's difficult to start a business!" He Lianyan said: "Others don't have to go, but the Duke must go. Others can fail, but he can't!"
"King Wei is good!" Jiang He'er suddenly said.
"He is a good man, what a pity." He Lianyan's eyes flashed with calculation.
"Look, the Duke has killed another person!" Jiang He'er danced and almost fell off the horse. She held the reins tightly and looked at Helian Yan with bright eyes, "Yan'er, do you think the Duke is blessed by God?"
From the perspective of others, this battle had an element of luck from the beginning.
Governor Helian set a trap, but Yang Xuan didn't notice it. If it weren't for Wang Laoer, this battle would have ended long ago.
"The Duke has a saying." He Lianyan said: "Luck is also a part of strength!"
"luck?"
"You can understand it as destiny!"
He Lianyan looked at Yang Xuan with a brighter look, "If we win this battle, Beiliao will stand up!"
"Fight back! Fight back!"
Lord Helian was roaring.
But the heavy cavalry was already at the end of its strength, and was beaten violently by the black armor cavalry. At this moment, it could no longer hold on.
"General, let's go!"
The envoy saw such a tragic scene for the first time, and his mentality almost collapsed.
The Xuanjia Cavalry's counterattack was so sharp that Zhang Du took the lead in opening the gap, and then the Xuanjia Cavalry swarmed in.
Heavy riding, collapsed!
"General!" the messenger screamed.
Governor Helian slapped him with his backhand and shouted: "No retreat! Lin Nan, Lin Nan!"
"General!"
"You lead the army to attack!"
"Take orders!"
Lin Nan knew that once he retreated at this moment, the whole situation would collapse in an instant.
He led the last reserve team and rushed forward.
"Wan Sheng!"
On the opposite side, the banner of the Northern Xinjiang Army reached the front, and Yang Xuan led the army into Lin Nan.
"Yang Gou!"
Lin Nan roared and rushed towards Yang Xuan.
"Mo Dao!"
From behind, Pei Jian was shouting, "Come forward!"
The Mo Swordsmen who had completed their formation silently stepped forward. This battle was a frustrating one for them. Before they could even engage the enemy, the front line of defense collapsed.
Now is the time to wash away the shame!
The heavy armor made it difficult for them to walk.
The array comes forward.
Mo Dao will raise Mo Dao.
A row of Mo Dao was raised high, and the light of the swords flashed in the sun.
The war horse sensed the danger, neighed and refused to step forward.
But he was driven to the front by his master.
"
kill!"
The light of the knife flashed.
Jiang Heer turned away, "The blood is flowing like a river!"
Amid the miserable howls, Yang Xuan led his army to attack from the side.
Lin Nannan!
The morale of the army is in chaos!
Pei Jian lost no time and shouted: "All troops, move forward!"
"Mo Dao Shou!" the generals at the rear shouted, "come forward!"
Mo Dao will shout, "Brothers!"
"exist!"
The voice came from the visor.
"Come forward!"
"Here!"
The swordsmen took a step forward in unison.
"kill!"
Ahead!
Both men and horses were shattered!
"What a terrible weapon!"
Lin Nan groaned.
"Yang Gou is here!"
Yang Xuan led his men to give Lin Nannan a heavy blow from the side. He knew that as long as he defeated this reserve team, Governor Helian would have no chance to fight back.
"Kick him out!" Lin Nan roared.
He personally led the counterattack.
The giant knife appeared again.
One man and one horse, no one can defeat him.
"Kill King Wei!"
Lin Nan shouted.
Killing King Wei will boost morale again!
Those tough soldiers swarmed away.
When faced with a desperate situation, they burst out with their last bloody courage.
become!
Then counterattack!
defeat!
"kill!"
The light of the sword flickered, and the figure could not be seen clearly.
Lin Nan watched expectantly as his subordinates rushed over.
But the giant sword moved unswervingly towards him, and no one was an enemy of Yihe wherever it passed.
"King Wei's sword skills have changed a lot."
Lin Feibao squinted at King Wei, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
"Commander, do you want to give it to him?" asked a Qiu Longwei.
"Although I wish I could kill all the bastards of the false emperor, King Wei cannot move. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen to the Duke."
The eldest nephew's bravery exceeded Yang Xuan's expectations.
This guy's sword skills and internal energy have improved a lot.
Yang Xuan made some calculations and found that he probably made 10% of his income this time, while his eldest nephew made at least 50%.
He smiled bitterly, thinking that no wonder Aning felt that her qualifications were too poor and that she was not the material for cultivation. She was even worried that A Liang and the others would inherit his qualifications.
"kill!"
Lin Ziqi was cut off and Lin Nan fled.
"What a great King Wei!"
Tu Shang couldn't help but praise.
Wang Laoer asked: "Tu Gong, can you beat him?"
Tu Chang slapped his hand and said, "What can't you beat?"
Wang Laoer covered the back of his head, "You can't beat me?"
Snap!
Wang Laoer received another slap, but he said happily: "Young Master Tu, you are so cowardly!"
If this kid's ability to commit suicide was second, no one in the Yang family would dare to be ranked first.
If this was not a battlefield, Tu Shang would be ready to perform a full martial arts show for him at this moment!
"kill!"
Yang Xuan killed one person, and when he saw the enemy troops in front began to retreat, he raised his horizontal sword.
Point forward!
"The Duke's order, the entire army attacks!"
shouted the lookout.
At the same time, the big flag behind Yang Xuan slowly pressed forward.
"The Duke's order, the entire army attacks!"
"Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack!"
Zhao Yong is roaring!
"Fight back!"
Countless soldiers were roaring.
"No retreat!"
The envoy shouted in panic, drew out his long sword and slashed, "General, stop them! Stop them!"
"The defeat is complete!"
Governor Helian looked calm, "It's time to go, let's go!"
The messenger looked at him in disbelief, "What about you? Let's go on the road together!"
How could he and more than a hundred cavalry escape the pursuit of the army?
"I'm not leaving!"
Governor Helian relaxed and smiled, as if he was the victor.
It's like seeing through something
What a relief.
"You want to surrender to the enemy?"
The messenger's expression changed drastically, and he turned his horse around, "You old dog, let's go!"
The messenger ran away with more than a hundred riders.
There were hundreds of horsemen beside Du Helian. He waved his hand and said, "Let's all go!"
His guard asked: "General, you are really prepared."
"Go for it!"
Governor Helian waved his hand, and the guard held it in his hand. He looked at him deeply and said, "Let's go!"
Not to defend rebellion, this is their code!
As they galloped along, some people looked back and exclaimed: "Look!"
Everyone turned around.
Governor Helian drew his sword.
Destroy the war horse.
One ride!
In the decline of great defeat, go retrograde!
He raised his long sword and roared: "Heliandu, the powerful general of the Liao Dynasty, is here! Who dares to fight with me?"
The defeated soldiers ran past him.
The pursuers rushed up, and Governor Helian brandished his sword.
His long sword was blocked, and someone on the side made a sneak attack. Helian Du avoided it. At this time, someone from behind shouted: "This is Helian Du, surround him, we will survive!"
A living and powerful general, what a slap in the face!
The pursuers immediately passed him and fled.
Dozens of cavalry surrounded Governor Helian. When he charged, the cavalry retreated, always keeping their distance.
The skill is so sophisticated that it makes people despair!
"The Duke is here!"
Yang Xuan, covered in blood, came, "Pursue all the way, don't stop, until you reach Cangzhou!"
"Take orders!"
Pei Jian handed over his hand, admiring his boss's performance in this battle, "The Duke is mighty!"
Well!
Pei Jian, who never flatters others, actually
Yang Xuan glanced at him and saw sincere respect.
He smiled and said, "Go!"
"Take orders!"
Pei Jian led the army to pursue.
Yang Xuan rode his horse to the outside of the encirclement, "Spread out!"
The encirclement dispersed, Governor Helian dismounted, picked up the water bag, took a sip and asked like an old friend: "Once I'm defeated here, most of the people left in Cangzhou are infantry. All you need to do is take my head."
It will destroy their morale. Now that you have Cangzhou, what do you want?"
Yang Xuan dismounted and Wang Laoer handed over the water bag, "Drink some water, Your Majesty!"
Uda, who was preparing to name her newborn son Wu Zhongxin, presented a matzah and said, "The Duke is sitting down!"
Yang Xuan sat down and stretched his legs.
Governor Helian across from him also sat down casually.
Yang Xuan took a sip of water and said, "I went to Ningxing. After Ningxing was shaken, Jiangzhou will be heavily guarded. If we attack now, we will fight with the entire Bei Liao. And our army."
"At the end of the battle!" Governor Helian said with a smile: "I was defeated in both battles with you. Although I lost, it still made you quite embarrassed. Can you admit it?"
Yang Xuan nodded, "I have encountered some outstanding opponents in the past, but most of them were governors or military generals. You really made me feel the pressure. To be honest, even in Northern Xinjiang, a general like you is not as talented as you.
There are so many, so few."
"Thank you for the compliment!" Governor Helian smiled happily, "I am very happy to be recognized by the State of Qin."
As the pursuers gradually moved away, Yang Xuan relaxed and asked, "Do you know the condition of the child?"
Helian Du smiled, "I thought you wouldn't ask!"
"Why?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Anyone who does great things has no love for his children."
Governor Helian thought of the late emperor and Li Mi. These emperors treated their wives and children as if they were enemies, and they didn't know what they were born to do.
He then smiled and said, "After leaving Cangzhou, the road ahead for Duke Qin will be difficult."
Northern Xinjiang is not small in the first place. Yang Xuan has previously captured the land of three states. If he successfully captures Cangzhou, he will be the land of five states.
"The land of the five states! Including the northern border, does Qin Guogong think about the future?"
"Want to provoke?" Yang Xuan laughed.
"No. As the saying goes, having a sharp weapon in hand comes with a murderous intention. You control a huge territory, and you have made great military achievements and managed it well. Have you never thought of being independent?"
Governor Helian stared at Yang Xuan
I wanted to get some clues from his subtle expressions, but unfortunately, I couldn't find anything unusual.
Not even a bit.
"Self-reliance, I have no interest in it. Otherwise, I would be able to separate one party from another at this moment." Yang Xuan took a sip of water, "It seems that you are planning to bring the true situation of Changling mother and son!"
"Why didn't Qin Guogong recruit me to surrender?" Governor Helian asked.
"You are a smart man. If you want to surrender, how dare you hide the situation of Changling's mother and son?" Yang Xuan asked curiously: "I am very curious. Logically speaking, you are an unappreciated talent. In order to recommend yourself, you left the job of the sycophant.
Route. He Lianfeng and He Lianchun did not clear your name in the follow-up period. You are actually willing to be loyal to them?"
Governor Helian chuckled, "Yes! To be honest, I don't even care about the late emperor or the current generation."
Yang Xuan nodded, "I will never humiliate warriors, great talents, or even common people. I don't understand the thoughts of He Lianfeng and He Lianchun."
"The Duke of Qin came from a humble background, so he is naturally different from them." Governor Helian said calmly: "An emperor should naturally look down on all living beings."
"Haha!" Yang Xuan shook his head, "Then why don't you surrender?"
"I have a better background than you. My father is at least a school captain." Governor Helian narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I have been practicing martial arts and learning the art of war since I was a child. When I grew up, my father asked me about my ambitions. At that time, I was single-minded.
I want to study, I want to take the imperial examination and become an official."
"Why?"
"Being in the army is too hard!"
"I admit this!"
"Later, my father said something, and I went to the army. When I arrived in the army, I discovered that I had some extraordinary abilities."
"An eagle fell into a sparrow's nest, which is enough for you!" Yang Xuan said with a smile.
"Yes!" Governor Helian shook his head and sighed, "I was targeted everywhere. My father advised me to restrain myself, but I refused. I thought, why should I hide it when I have the ability?
Later, I was attacked by someone unexpectedly and almost died, so I learned my lesson.
I originally wanted to eat and wait for death, but thinking of my father's words, I thought of a way to take advantage of His Majesty's hunting opportunity. You probably know about that! For this purpose, I went to find the best cook and learned how to barbecue.
Half a year."
"Success is indeed no fluke." Yang Xuan praised.
"You know what happened next. To be honest, I have no loyalty at all to the late emperor and the present."
Governor Helian stood up and said, "You talk so much, don't you find it annoying?"
Yang Xuan shook his head, "Before this battle, everyone in the Northern Xinjiang Army, including me, was a little confused. It was you who made me, the soldiers lose their pride and the idea of underestimating the enemy, so I should give you a ride."
"Thank you!"
Governor Helian dropped the water bag on the ground, mounted his horse, and walked slowly.
"My lord!" Uda took out his bow and arrow.
Yang Xuan shook his head, "No need."
Heliandu looked at everything around him on horseback and suddenly laughed.
"Father! You said that joining the army was never for the sake of the emperor."
He pulled out his long knife and put it on his neck.
