Chapter Fifty-Nine: Feng Hou Hu


Because it's more than 5,000 words, it's a bit late.

A news after the summer heat in the first year of Xiangfu shook the government and the opposition.

Yang Shenxing, the general of Anguo, faced an enemy army of less than 10,000 people, and 40,000 Jinan Rui soldiers were defeated again and again, first losing nearly half of the cavalry, retreating to the Qingyang Basin, suffering the enemy on their backs, and the cavalry army was completely annihilated.

After this battle, Yang Shenxing, who was not guaranteed in the evening, became a rat crossing the street, and in addition to the military department led by Lu Baijie, the remaining five departments and two officials in Tai'an City all launched wave after wave of impeachment of the old general, and there was reason for it, saying that he ignored the military order of the main general Lu Shengxiang and went south without authorization Yang Shenxing didn't care about the turmoil above the temple, the old general and his more than 40,000 combat strength were still intact, and they became an old turtle in an urn, even he felt ridiculous.

No matter how the gray-haired general covered it up, he exuded an aging look.

Yang Huchen, the eldest son of the emperor, survived the cavalry battle ten years ago, but lost an arm.

Sun Tzu Yang Wenqi was also severely injured in the battle six days ago, and he is still lying on the sickbed with a fishy smell of medicine.

Yang Shenxing has never fought such an aggrieved battle, Huchen's three thousand light cavalry failed to win the thousand iron cavalry, this is nothing, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, it is he Yang Shenxing who took it lightly and committed a taboo in soldiers, and the old man actually did not have too many resentment and complaints.

But then the development of the situation made General Anguo almost burst out to kill, and the three thousand rich soldiers who had not suffered too many casualties in the first cavalry battle, after seeing the power of the heavy cavalry charge, actually asked to immediately break away from the army, pass through the Qingyang Basin, and withdraw to the north of Qinshui Jindu, which is also okay, Yang Shenxing did not refuse, but proposed to slowly retreat with the infantry army, in case the other party's light cavalry was not small to attack, never thought that the group of rabbit cubs promised well, and in a blink of an eye, they fled north from the night with their own guards, After learning the news, Yang Shenxing had no choice but to pull out the camp and move north, and let his grandson Yang Wenqi dispatch almost all the cavalry ranks to escort him, Yang Shenxing could only hope that the main general of the Eastern Front Campaign in Western Chu could not seize the opportunity of his own infantry and cavalry separation, and even did not hesitate to let the front army make a camouflage sign of killing the military town, but in the early morning of the next day, the bloodied grandson only brought back hundreds of Jinan cavalry, and the grandfather soldiers of more than 3,000 culprits were safe and sound, and Yang Wenqi, who had a piece of meat cut off his shoulder, couldn't cry.

It is said that the enemy's light cavalry is extremely good at night fighting, and they divided their troops into several ways, not only attacked the Jinan cavalry that they were preparing in a hurry, but also deliberately drove the cavalry that was not even three thousand chicken ribs to the south to disrupt the formation, Yang Wenqi's cavalry could only take 300 as a battalion, and sent them to death in batches, and only then did they protect the more than 2,800 people who should die but could not die.

Yang Shenxing after his grandson fainted, asked in detail about several defeated cavalry commanders, the old general was more and more frightened in his heart, according to them, the enemy cavalry is not only long in night running, but also superb archery, even the peripheral safari of the northern reckless barbarians are imitated in a good way, neither close nor far away, always maintained at the distance of two arrows, an arrow charges, shoots a rain of arrows and then retreats, and so on, which requires extremely skilled equestrian and archery skills.

Such a cohesive loitering tactic is not invulnerable, and if Sun Tzu Yang Wenqi lets go of the 3,000 horsemen, he doesn't need to pay such a huge bloody price at all.

After that, there was no movement on the hustle and bustle, just a small group of cavalry troops wandering far away outside the encirclement, leisurely wandering, shooting those scouts who tried to pass on the military information of the Jinan army, but as long as Yang Shenxing showed signs of the movement of the army, the opposite side could quickly mobilize the cavalry, gather in the Qingyang Basin on the back, and there were more than a thousand iron cavalry waiting from afar, making a charging posture of riding and eating.

At that moment, Yang Shenxing finally knew that the main general on the opposite side did not think about competing with their Jinan infantry at all, but expected the psychology of him Yang Shenxing and the three thousand horsemen with special status, first induced the Yang family cavalry to attack, first hurt the morale, and used heavy horses to scare the courage of those gentlemen, guessing that these rabbit cubs could not escape regardless of the overall situation, as well as the escort of their Jinan cavalry, and then cut the meat with a blunt knife, and ate the cavalry little by little.

It can be said that Yang Shenxing is indeed impressed by the combat power shown by the enemy, but the veteran general who has experienced a hundred battles is not afraid in his heart, but he loses Yang Shenxing has to take two risks in succession, one is to deliberately give away military merits, and the other is to save their lives, and the result is that the price is one of the few more than 5,000 cavalry troops in the Jinan Army, which can be described as dead Suffering a fiasco that has not been encountered for many years, after all, the old soldier of Jinan was his subordinate brought out by Yang Shenxing, and he did not cry and grab the ground, but was silent in a place where the river was dense and the water was abundant, and camped in an orderly manner, digging out three trenches, and behind the trenches there were berms more than two zhang high.

Between the wide trenches of two people, a large number of tough trunks and branches were harvested as much as possible, and the bottom was nailed after sharpening, and the tips of the trees smoked by fire were arranged upwards, interspersed and connected layer by layer, and the soil near the inside and outside of the trench was tamped.

A solid arrow tower rises from the ground, a camp tent is erected, the food and grass of the army of the southern army of Jinan are quite abundant, and does not rely heavily on the supply line behind them, and the cavalry of the Liyang Dynasty, especially at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, with the support of the unobstructed post road, the first-class sharp soldiers, holding the weight of the armor and carrying half a hundred miles, and the light rush of the pure light cavalry, can reach the astonishing speed of advancement, Lu Shengxiang was a continuous gallop of the fine cavalry of the year, known as the three hundred miles, even more than the original Chu Lushan's thousand horses to open Shu, It's just that after all, the latter takes the Shu Road, and as for the post horses that can be exchanged for people and horses all the way, they are not among them.

No matter how the post stations in Liyang have been reduced and abolished in recent years under the shouts of those civilian officials who are desperately shouting poverty, the post roads in the south of Gyeonggi are still accessible, which is where Yang Shenxing's confidence lies, waiting for reinforcements is, before this, he will never be besieged to death, and he doesn't even need to jump over the wall in a hurry with the Jinan army.

But Yang Shenxing was still exhausted, more haggard than fighting on the battlefield, in order to appease those rich and noble children in the capital who hid and cried for their fathers and mothers, the old general who had already lost a battle and suffered a big loss, didn't even dare to say anything serious.

Because the old man knew why Lu Shengxiang, the squire of the military department, had weak military power in his hands, it was the secret obstruction of those civil officials and masters in the capital who had slippery wrists, and the army went to battle, but not only a general or even a military department could handle it, but if a household department deliberately delayed, it could find more than a dozen sufficient excuses to delay the march, and no one could find a reason to refute it.

The fathers of the 1,000 children of the capital family joined forces to weave a muddy mess in the Liyang Temple, so that Lu Shengxiang had no way to quickly control the whole army, but after learning about the battle of the Qingyang Basin, after learning that his children and grandchildren were trapped, he could help the operation of the six departments become extremely smooth overnight.

The reason why Yang Shenxing brought the cavalry army that was defeated outside the golden jade was precisely because the old general knew better than anyone else the hidden needles in the Liyang Temple.

It's just that Yang Shenxing didn't expect the enemy master to be so vicious and ruthless.

As Yang Shenxing expected, in the court of Tai'an City, although countless people are denouncing him Yang Shenxing's actual crimes, but Lu Baijie, the secretary of the military department who said nothing during this time, suddenly seemed to be a man of his word, those who previously thought that Yang Shenxing's 40,000 Yan Zhenchun 30,000 accumulated 70,000 horses, it was already a very trivial matter, quite a killing official and old man, changed his face overnight, and told in unison that the cunning of the remnants of Western Chu was preparing to fight with the imperial army on the front line north of the hustle and bustle.

It is necessary to send another meritorious veteran to the battlefield, Lu Shengxiang, as the commander of the troops, but let Yang Shenxing besiege him, which was extremely negligent and did not punish the crime, just because it was not appropriate to change the commander on the spot Lu Baijie's proposal was drowned in the raging court discussion, Lu Shengxiang needed to be guilty of meritorious service, except for the name of a commander, in fact, there were not many troops to make meritorious service, the real leader was still a steady Spring and Autumn veteran Wu Jun, this time dispatched 30,000 elite soldiers in the Gyeonggi Wu Army.

And under a secret order from the Ministry of War, Yan Zhenchun drove straight down from the Dongyu Plain, and finally stopped in the area of Sancang, and then turned to the east, making a condescending force to press the border, so as to respond to Wu Jun's 30,000 army Outside Youlu Pass, Lu Shengxiang was still blind to the movement of troops and horses in Guangling Road in the south, but the criticism of the capital in the north continued to enter the big tent, and there was a bleak atmosphere.

The captains and lieutenants who were originally diligent and diligent every day have disappeared in the past few days.

Lu Shengxiang sat on the grass outside the camp, beside Guo Dongfeng, who had been feeding the horses recently, and the latter said angrily: "This Tangxi Sword Immortal can't eat shit, and he has become a dignified military secretary, and talking like this is better than farting."

Lu Shengxiang said calmly: "Lu Baijie has a conscience, and he knows how to help me say a few fair words, and proposes that I lead the troops south." ” Guo Dongfeng sneered: "If you have a conscience, then why didn't he mention Yang Shenxing's old fool who said good things and worked hard to accumulate the six thousand horsemen in more than ten years, because those gentlemen were buried in vain in less than ten days, and in the end there was less than half a good word." ” Lu Shengxiang smiled indifferently: "Lu Baijie is not stupid, and the guy who scolds in the temple is not really stupid, many words, I know it in my stomach is one thing, and it is another thing to say it."

As long as Lu Baijie still wants to stabilize his position, he has to work hard and complain, tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall.

If Gu Jiantang was in the military department, it wouldn't be like this.

Of course, General Gu is in Tai'an City at this time, and there is no such thing as my Lu Shengxiang. ” Guo Dongfeng snorted coldly, "The chief general of Western Chu is also in the water, and he regards the front line of the military town as a battlefield to compete for strength and national strength, and he really thinks that eating Yang Shenxing's 40,000 Jinan foot soldiers will be all right."

Lu Shengxiang glanced at Guo Dongfeng, "The civil officials in the court are stupid, and you are also stupid."

Guo Dongfeng was stunned for a moment, and said with a shocked face: "Xi Chu really planned to eat Yan Zhenchun's 30,000 horses from the beginning, can you eat them Yan Zhenchun, but Yang Shenxing is not afraid of choking to death, is it Cao Changqing who is going to go out in person?"

Lu Shengxiang looked into the distance, and said with a sneer: "You kid give me wide eyes to take a good look, I have a hunch that in this war, Xichu will emerge the first few young people who will become your mortal enemies in the future." ” Guo Dongfeng smiled: "This relationship is good." ” Thirty miles north of Sancang, the more south the more Yan Zhenchun's 30,000 cavalry troops who intended to slow down, scouts reported the military situation, and there was an enemy army five miles away, all of them were light horses, no less than 20,000 horsemen Vast plains, wide battlefields.

The autumn wind is howling, and the flag is hunting.

The old general Yan, who had never been smiling, looked up at the bright red Yan character on the banner, and then looked back at the Yan family children who were not afraid to fight.

The old man said in a deep voice: "Pull out the flag" Yan Zhenchun, the old general who was supposed to sit in the rear, was going to take the lead, and immediately several henchmen and generals came forward to stop him, Yan Zhenchun picked up the spear "Lu Ye" that had accompanied him for many years, shook his head and said: "Victory, most of them are the last battle in this life, you can't stand here and watch, if you lose, it's the last battle, how can you die on the way to escape." ” As soon as Yan Zhenchun's words came out, those generals were speechless.

The army pressed forward, and the banner moved forward.

The same is true of the enemy's 20,000 light cavalry.

Yan Zhenchun led 30,000 troops, headwind, and 20,000 Western Chu cavalry, tailwind.

There is no dominant slope under the hooves of the two sides, and there is no phalanx of foot soldiers.

The territory here is vast, and a front line of sufficient width can be deployed, and it can also be put into the cavalry army in batches, so it can be said that the commander-in-chief of the cavalry on both sides can be fully displayed, and the combat power of the cavalry is more likely to be perfectly reflected.

This is an excellent battlefield for whoever is weak and who loses, and who retreats and who dies.

There is no such thing as a fluke.

Almost at the same time, two horns suddenly whimpered as if echoing each other, majestic and sad.

In the same vein, after the first horizontal platoon of the two sides began to charge, after rushing out of most of the distance of the horse's body, the second row immediately launched a fierce charge.

The physique and spacing of the horses in each row are almost the same, so that the charging speed of each rear row cavalry can not be affected in the slightest.

The length of the lateral front lines of the two sides was comparable, but Yan Zhenchun's cavalry was more deep because of its relative superiority.

Several horsemen suddenly appeared on the distant side of the charge of the two armies, a few horses, regardless of the overall situation, the men and horses were not wearing armor, among them was the young man who followed Pei Sui, the son of Pei Valve, to the top of Luohu Hill, Xie Xichen.

It is also this unknown son of the Han family of Western Chu who has the courage to point out the country in front of Cao Changqing and Sun Xiji, and is laughingly called "Xie Banju" by Cao Changqing.

In fact, the entire matter of the northern front was decided by Xie Xichen in one word.

From the capture of the military town at the last moment, to the subsequent lure of the enemy and night attack, and then to the siege without attacking, in order to attract the Liyang Imperial Court to take the initiative to lure Yan Zhenchun's cavalry to disperse, until this moment stood by from afar.

It's all from this man's strategy.

A middle-aged strong man who was sitting on horseback and was a head taller than Xie Xichen asked in a deep voice: "General Xie, there is really no need to use the 3,000 heavy cavalry hidden behind immediately, there is really no need to send an order to go down and ask them to put on armor and mount the horse, Yan Zhenchun's 30,000 cavalry is not a soft persimmon."

Xie Xichen pursed his lips and shook his head, "It doesn't make sense to use heavy riding too fast or too slow. ” Xie Xichen exhaled a breath of turbidity and said slowly: "Moreover, the death of two light riders is still earned compared to the death of one heavy rider."

It can even be said that the three thousand heavy cavalry will win unless it is one, and if you know that you can't change the decline by investing in heavy cavalry, then the 20,000 light cavalry can be used to disperse the spirit of Yan Zhenchun's cavalry, and this battle will be over.

Otherwise, I'd rather ride a light horse and have no one left, and I will retreat with a heavy horse to deal with the next cavalry."

The strong man glanced at this young commander who must not have a good reputation in the Liyang Dynasty and the opposition, and smiled.

This person was born in the land of Longxing, the founding emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty, where it once had the reputation of "four princes in ten miles", after the emperor of the Great Chu Taizu, there were more than 160 generals and marquises, and there were as many as 46 people in that place There is a custom of sewing cloth for newborns to make "Fenghou Tiger", which places good expectations on the old saying "Although the tiger cub has not become a pattern, it has the air of eating cattle".

But this young man named Xie Xichen is by no means the descendant of those generals who have made outstanding military achievements.

But it doesn't matter, because he is Cao Changqing's only disciple.

Xie Xiqian had been watching the battle situation coldly, half an hour, an hour later, the strong man and several men around him were already sweating.

Xie Xichen raised his buttocks, stretched his neck and looked at it a few times, his lips moved slightly, and he muttered to himself.

Or wait.

Several men who had participated in the Spring and Autumn War began to look anxious.

On the battlefield, his own side lost 5,000 horsemen, and Yan Zhenchun also died more than 6,000.

This is simply appalling compared to the total number of deaths on a battlefield where no one has evacuated the battlefield and no one side has retreated.

Because there are cavalry troops involved in the confrontation battle, the real casualties are often when one side is defeated and evacuated, and then the large-scale casualties will really increase suddenly.

The sweaty man tugged at his neckline and threw a punch on the horse.

Xie Xichen was still expressionless.

The strong man glanced at the sky and said softly: "General Xie, if you exchange your life for your life like this, we will lose."

Xie Xichen hummed softly, still indifferent.

Another man said angrily: "Lao Tzu is going to launch a heavy horse to rush to the front, Lao Tzu is not as hard-hearted as you Xie Xichen" Xie Xichen sighed and said calmly: "Wei Hong, if you dare to go, I will dare to kill you." ” The man gritted his teeth and said, "Just rely on your three-legged cat kung fu."

Not far away, a handsome young man with four long swords on his back hesitated for a moment, and said with a cold face: "I, Lu Sichu, can kill you." ” The man roared: "Lu Sichu, don't think that your grandfather is Lu Dantian, Lao Tzu is afraid of you" Xie Xichen said indifferently: "I said a long time ago, either Yan Zhenchun dies in battle, or the spirit of the Yan family's cavalry army is half gone, and it is the time for us to go into battle."

You can no longer care what kind of swordsman Lu Dantian is in Dachu, but since you are a soldier of our army, you have to listen to military orders.

If you want to die, I won't stop you, but please Wei Hong die on the battlefield in the future, under the hooves of the Liyang cavalry. ” The hideous man rubbed his face fiercely, tilted his head and spit out, "This battle is lost, even if I disobey the order, I will kill you with my own hands" After half an hour that made people feel incomparably long, Xie Xichen said in a deep voice: "Liu Cong, Wei Hong, listen to the order" Then Wei Hong scolded his mother, and turned his horse's head like crazy, "Listen to your mother's military order, Lao Tzu, kill the enemy, win, turn around and kill Lao Tzu."

The sturdy man named Liu Cong clenched his fists and left.

Xie Xiqi said word by word, "Remember, don't leave a captive" Access:
