Zhang Xu stood on the side of Yang Xuan's tent. Although his eyes were closed, his hearing was even sharper.
So until early morning.
Yang Xuan got up.
Get out of the tent.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Zhang Xu cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare."
When the shift changer arrived, Zhang Xu could only take a nap when he returned.
Jiang He'er came out of the tent, "Ah! Mr. Lang is up!"
"Um!"
Yang Xuan couldn't help but smile when he saw her disheveled hair.
"So ugly!"
Jiang He'er touched her hair and got in, "Yan'er Yan'er, help me comb my hair quickly."
"Comb it yourself!"
"If you don't comb it, don't even think about sleeping with me next time!"
Yang Xuan touched his nose and found it was fine. It was just warm and there was no nosebleed.
After washing up, the night sentry came back.
"Mr. Lang, someone passed by last night. He was so fast that he went straight to the top of the city."
"It must be a good hand. This is a message."
Yang Xuan thought for a while, "Is there any movement in the city last night?"
"Yes, it seems that people and horses are mobilizing."
After breakfast, Yang Xuan convened people to discuss matters.
"He Lianrong should not wait any longer."
"Good thing!"
"Yes! After waiting for four days, the brothers have already become impatient."
Yang Xuan said: "The enemy has about 50,000 troops, 20,000 Tanzhou troops, and 30,000 tribal warriors. Our army is 30,000, 20,000 Chenzhou troops, and 10,000 servants. How is this battle going? To be honest, I, the general, feel...
You will definitely win!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone was a little dazed at first, but when the situation reversed later, they couldn't help laughing.
But Yang Xuan is indeed not sure of victory.
That's the Tanzhou Army, not the three major divisions.
The number of both sides was about the same, but the other side had 20,000 more tribal cavalry.
Twenty thousand!
And you have to beware of flanking attacks or harassment from surrounding enemy forces.
"This battle will not be easy!"
Yang Xuan was sounding the alarm to his subordinates, "Warning to the soldiers, cheer up and forget about any thoughts of underestimating the enemy. This battle is my battle to turn Chenzhou around, and I will advance and retreat with the soldiers!"
Wang Laoer came in and said, "Mr. Lang, there are a lot of footsteps and horse hooves in the city."
Yang Xuan stood up and looked at everyone.
"Everyone!"
Peng!
Everyone stood with hands tied.
Let Yang Xuan's gaze sweep across.
"Assemble!"
"Take orders!"
The army began to gather.
Yang Xuan stretched himself, walked out of the tent, and looked at the sky.
Jiang He'er and He Lianyan came over, "The weather will definitely be good today."
Yang Xuan nodded, "Yes! It's a good weather for killing people!"
The gates of Tanzhou City are wide open.
The army slowly left the city.
The scouts and rangers rushed toward the Chenzhou Army camp like mad dogs.
Not only to spy on the news, but more importantly to harass the Chenzhou Army along the way and undermine their morale.
The Tang Army's cavalry also dispatched.
"It's Mr. Wang!"
Wang Laoer came with hundreds of horses and swept all the way.
"Second brother, the sack is full."
The fat elder was carrying a huge sack and was panting.
The thin elder wasn't much better, "If I squeeze a lot more here, I can still fit two more!"
So Wang Laoer harvested two more heads.
The scouts on both sides were fighting desperately, trying their best to prevent the other party from approaching their own army.
Don't worry about the detectives.
It's just that you have to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.
When Wang Laoer returned covered in blood, hundreds of Chenzhou troops fell in the rear.
"Lang Jun, the Tanzhou army scouts are quite brave."
"knew."
The army continued to advance.
The scouting battle continues until both sides can see each other.
"withdraw!"
The scouts on both sides retreated and then headed towards their own flanks to guard against being outflanked by their opponents.
"Stop!"
The army stopped.
Tread hard.
boom!
The heaven and the earth seemed to be trembling.
"Shoot in the foot!"
In front of the formation, the crossbowmen and archers began to test the range.
The arrow was clearly lost on the grass.
Then, it became quiet.
"More than 40,000!"
Nan He received the report, "Those who are less than 20,000 are Tanzhou troops, and those who are 30,000 are tribal warriors."
"knew."
Yang Xuan looked ahead, "I have few soldiers, but I like to take the initiative to attack."
He raised his hand.
On the opposite side, He Lianrong said: "Don't wait, do it!"
Whoever makes the first move will take the initiative!
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
The two armies actually dispatched at the same time.
Yang Xuan and He Lianrong were stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"He is a good opponent!" Yang Xuan praised.
He Lianrong said: "The next step is up to you!"
"Reassuring you!"
Xiao Manyan ordered: "Let the tribal warriors prepare!"
There is nothing fancy about this kind of battle, it just tests the strength of the soldiers on both sides and the general's ability to adapt to changes.
"Defeat Chenzhou's army and make your promise to exempt them from taxes for three years!"
This condition is extremely favorable for the tribe...
Several leaders are discussing.
"Many people will die in this battle."
"But if you don't pay taxes for three years, the extra money and food can feed a lot of people. Three years of rest and recuperation is enough to give birth to a batch of cubs. It's a profit!"
"Yes! I made a profit!"
"So……"
Choking!
Amidst the sound of drawing swords, several leaders pointed forward and shouted: "For the tribe! For the wife and children you are waiting for...go and defeat Yang Gou!"
The gods are watching you and waiting. The souls of the warriors who died in battle will be protected and enjoy happiness in the next life..."
The foreigners accompanying the army began to recite scriptures.
"Attack!"
The tribal warriors came out in full force.
This is so girly!
Not divided into batches?
Yang Xuan was dumbfounded.
"Nothing fancy, just the final word?"
Nan He was also dumbfounded, and then shouted: "Get ready..."
Squeak!
The crossbowmen cocked their bows.
Load the crossbow arrows.
Opposite, the tribal warriors were cheering.
"Break Lin'an City and steal Yang Gou's woman!"
"Kill all the Tang people!"
"Snatch up Chenzhou!"
When the messenger heard such a cry, he couldn't help but shake his head, "It's too rough, too barbaric!"
He Lianrong said: "For these herdsmen, all integrity, loyalty, and loyalty are all fake. Only money, food, women, burning, killing, and looting are real. If you want to drive them to fight, there is only one way. "
Messenger: "Lure it with benefits."
"yes."
"How strong is it?" the messenger asked.
"After practicing for a long time, it should be good." He Lianrong said.
"So, for this battle, here..." the envoy pointed to the surrounding Tanzhou Army, "Do we need them to take action?"
"Don't underestimate Yang Gou." He Lianrong said: "This man is very successful in using troops. Xiao Manyan was defeated by him last time."
"I just want to see a great victory!" said the messenger.
"Same is true for me!"
Suddenly a black cloud flew up in the Tang army's formation.
"It's a crossbow formation!"
The black clouds fell down, and the shouts of the tribal warriors became weaker.
"Quick, only once!"
The leaders were urging their subordinates, while carefully looking at the sky opposite, praying that if they had to do it again, they would never come here.
"here we go again!"
The second wave of crossbow arrows obscured the view.
stop!
Amidst the sound of piercing the air, the crossbow arrow once again created an empty area.
"Is it gone?" A leader with a hunched neck looked up.
In front, the archers of Chenzhou Army were already standing in front of the array.
"Fire the arrow!"
A wave of arrows covered the past.
"Lance!"
The new team is roaring.
Zhao Yong silently raised his spear, his hand unusually steady.
The new team member Zheng He first shouted: "Get ready..."
The enemy troops were furiously beating their horses.
A heavy reward is one thing, but the key is that the comrades behind them did not slow down, forcing them and their horses to collide.
The war horse went crazy.
The same goes for the warriors on horseback, waving various weapons and roaring with ferocious looks.
"Boom! Boom boom boom boom..."
Many war horses retreated before the battle and were knocked away from behind.
But there were also many who crashed directly into it.
The array of spears trembled.
One by one, the sergeants were knocked away, and their colleagues in the second row took over silently.
Zhao Yong walked up.
Ahead, a horse passed over the corpses. The enemy on horseback had bright eyes and raised the long knife in his hand.
"kill!"
The spear pierced his ribs like lightning. Zhao Yong clenched the barrel of the gun and pulled out the spear while spinning it.
The enemy howled miserably and fell off his horse, and his horse was immediately knocked away.
The second enemy is carrying a mace.
Amidst the roar, Zhao Yong assassinated without hesitation.
At the same time, Jian Zhuang's previous teachings echoed in his mind.
——Erlang, don’t hesitate, no matter what you face, just shoot!
"kill!"
With his comrades behind him, there is no room to dodge!
The spear thrust out.
Zhao Yong took a step forward.
The shot pierced the enemy's chest, and the mace passed over Zhao Yong's head.
He calmly drew his gun and looked around.
"What a great Zhao Erlang!"
He Xian shouted: "Brothers, look at Erlang!"
"color!"
The brothers of Team He cheered in unison!
Just at the beginning, the front line was littered with corpses.
"Lang Jun, do you want someone from Suoyun?" someone asked.
Yang Xuan shook his head, "It's okay for those people to fight with the wind. Such a tough battle that requires will must be led by someone. Let's shed the blood first."
Suo Yun was on standby with his men, a little impatient.
"Brother, let them fight for a while." Lan Jian said.
"When they are almost done fighting, let's go up again. Who gets the credit? Also, will the envoy think we are loyal?"
"If we go up now, there will be many casualties."
"Are you related to them?"
"without."
"Then, it doesn't matter how many deaths you have, it doesn't matter to you?"
"..."
In battle, casualties are always just a number.
Ahead, the enemy troops continued to attack Chenzhou Army's defense line.
"Don't move the ballista for now." Yang Xuan was very patient, "Let's see how long He Lianrong can endure it."
"This battle should be commanded by Xiao Manyan," Han Ji said.
"He is the one who directs the actual fighting, but it is He Lianrong who must decide whether to advance or retreat!"
Yang Xuan pointed forward, as if Nan He was in command now, but at the critical moment, he would take over the power.
"The enemy army is very powerful!" Han Ji said.
"Man perishes for wealth, and birds perish for food."
A flash of light flashed in Han Ji's eyes, "Lang Jun's words are so insightful."
"No one said that?"
"No."
So Boss Yang accepted the respectful looks from his subordinates with peace of mind.
Jiang Heer whispered, "This man is so talented!"
Wang Laoer couldn't wait any longer, "When will we attack?"
The old thief said: "The Tanzhou army hasn't moved yet, it's early!"
Tu Shang: "Danding!"
In front, an enemy soldier rolled down, but his pants were left on the horse, and his excrement and urine were flowing out.
Courage disappears before death.
"This picture is so beautiful!" the old thief praised.
Tu Shang said dullly: "Ugly!"
"Beautiful!" The old thieves compete... This is a way to relax during wartime.
"Tu Gong, don't compete with him."
"The second child has matured." Tu Shang was very pleased, "I just feel that the old thief has some misunderstandings about beauty."
"No misunderstanding." Wang Laoer said: "Dogs are happy when they see shit."
Old thief: "..."
Tu Shang praised: "The second brother is getting better and better at talking."
Old thief: "..."
Zhao Yong has been on the front line.
He tirelessly assassinated, and tirelessly followed the brothers in Team He to advance and retreat.
This newcomer is amazing!
He Xian glanced at Zhao Yong and thought that after the war, this young man should be reported as a candidate for military training.
It's okay to be brave and calm, so now that you have everything you need, all you have to do is take the brothers to make a contribution.
That is leadership ability.
"kill!"
Zhao Yong assassinated another person again and felt that the enemy's offensive was getting weaker and weaker.
"The enemy is weak."
he shouted.
This is a reminder to the superior.
Nan He has already discovered it, "Please give me instructions, Mr. Lang!"
Yang Xuan shook his head, "Steady."
The Tanzhou army did not move, so this was not yet a decisive battle.
Several tribal leaders were a little anxious.
One of them said to Xiao Manyan: "Xiangwen, the warriors are tired. Why don't we withdraw and take a rest? Drink some water, eat some dry biscuits, and when your strength comes back, you can continue to serve Daliao."
"Back up!"
Because there has been no rotation, the tribal warriors in the front are tired, but those in the back are just watching from horseback, unable to work hard.
"this……"
Isn’t this trying to drain the river and deliberately consume us?
"No, no, no! It's appropriate, it's extremely appropriate!"
The superior asked you to attack, but you made a lot of excuses, so the superior asked you to withdraw.
Withdraw or not?
You would be a fool to withdraw!
There will be plenty of shoes waiting for you later!
"Rotate!"
The rear team pulled away, and with the sound of the horn, the front team evacuated.
The second wave of offensive is being prepared.
Yang Xuan turned around and said, "Suoyun!"
Suo Yun ran over and knelt in front of the horse, "Envoy!"
"Take your people and go up there. The military order is like a mountain, and I don't want your head to be hung there." Yang Xuan pointed to the big flag.
"Please keep an eye on it!"
Suo Yun's face flushed with excitement and he shouted: "Attack!"
Han Ji said: "This is a ruthless person who does not regard his subordinates as human beings."
"But I don't think of them as human beings! Old Han!"
Taking advantage of the enemy's rotation, Suo Yun led his men up.
Immediately, the second wave of offensive began.
Covered by crossbows and arrows, they gave the servant army a chance to breathe.
"kill!"
The war breaks out again.
If Chen Zhoujun seemed to be able to handle things with ease before, now he is evenly matched.
The prairie warriors appeared to be skilled with bows and horses, but they could not withstand the strength of the servant army on the opposite side!
"These prisoners are so strong!"
A warrior known for his strength was almost beaten to death with a stick, and he retreated with the intention of Yu Ji.
Although they have the numerical advantage, the Tanzhou servant army only wants to obtain money and food, while the other side wants to gain freedom!
Moreover, the fighting power of these tribes under the pressure of Daliao was just that... Therefore, the two sides were inextricably killed.
The two sides fell into a stranglehold.
Half an hour later.
Both sides are tired.
The tribal warriors wanted to quit.
Someone turned around and asked for instructions, "Your Majesty!"
"Whoever retreats will be killed!" He Lianrong looked at the leaders coldly, "Whoever dares to give random orders will be killed by the whole family!"
Xiao Manyan said softly: "You want a reward? You have to have a life to receive it!"
In their eyes, they also did not regard these tribal warriors as human beings.
This is a pirate ship... Several leaders looked livid, but they did not dare to object.
Jinze whispered: "Shijun, be careful of backlash!"
He Lianrong turned around and raised his hands to Ye Song, "Mr. Ye, please bring those good hands to open an opening."
Ye Song nodded and said calmly: "I haven't killed many people in many years. I'm good at it, so I'd better practice!"
He rode out, followed by more than twenty skilled men.
"Get ready!" He Lianrong nodded. This was a decisive moment that must be controlled by him.
More than 10,000 Tanzhou troops mounted their horses.
Yang Xuan on the opposite side saw it.
"We're getting ready for a decisive battle!"
"Lang Jun, look over there!" Jiang He'er pointed forward.
Ye Song, with more than 20 skilled men, continued to approach along the passage that had been cleared.
"Who is that old man?" Yang Xuan asked.
Behind Helianyan, Ru'an looked struggling, "Lang Jun, that's... that's my master, Ye Song!"
Yang Xuan turned around and said, "Old Huang!"
Lin Feibao nodded, "Half of us will come, and the rest will guard Mr. Lang!"
The Qiu Long Guard rushed to the front.
Ye Song was the first to rush to the front of the formation.
Draw your sword.
One chop!
More than 20 people screamed and fell down in front of him.
