The Yan army of 18,000 people, under the leadership of Cai Xin, marched along the winding mountain road to the northwest.
In the mountains and forests, there are occasional insect chirping, and few birds sing.
Vice General Cai Xin sat leisurely on the horse's back and said with a smile: "I don't know how many Western Song Dynasty people are hidden in this mountain forest, scaring the birds away?"
” "People must have, but it is not necessary to dare to take the lead.
Of course, it also has to be interesting, how can a few people who don't die explain to the above?
Hahaha......"
"Hahaha......"
Ying He's laughter drifted through the forest.
Cai Xin observed left and right, this place is called Meihualing, the mountain is gentle, suitable for diving.
If he was a general of the Western Song Dynasty, he would have set up an ambush here.
Secretly thinking in his heart, he ordered the vanguard team in front to pay attention to observation and release spies.
Soon, the forward spies returned.
"Back to the general, the enemy situation was found in the mountains, the number is unknown for the time being, but it has been dormant."
Cai Xin smiled: "Look, there must not be many people, otherwise we should fight head-on in front and give us a dismount."
Now, I only dare to lie on my stomach and peep in the grass!
Anyway, the tail of the team will inevitably be attacked later, and there is no need to return to help, we need to hurry!
” "Yes, General!"
There are nearly 20,000 people, and the path in the mountain is not spacious, so it took half an hour to cross the Meihua Ridge.
Li Yan on the hillside frowned, Qi Yueran asked someone to intercept the baggage, he knew, but in the Yan army, there were two military horses and grain bags in the ranks of every dozens of people.
The other party was afraid that he was also on guard, so he didn't use a carriage, but scattered and used military horses.
Call the heralds around him and quickly pass the situation to Qi Yueran.
Estimating the speed of the enemy's march, the hour was almost up, and then he drew his sword and ordered: "Archer, prepare!"
” It's finally time to get started!
The sergeants came to the spirit, bows and arrows in hand, pointing at the enemy troops down the hillside.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Li Yan gave an order, and countless arrows turned into a dark cloud, enveloping the marching Yan army in front.
"There's an enemy attack!"
The sharp and calm siren sounded, and the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom reacted immediately, some hiding behind trees, and some close to the blind spot of the hillside.
At a cursory glance, only the first round of shooting is more successful!
Li Yan shouted: "Rush!
"Four thousand sergeants and sabers in their hands, rushing to the enemy who has invaded their homeland!
"Kill!"
The leader of the Yan army also reacted quickly and immediately organized a counterattack, and the two sides met on the hillside.
After all, the Western Song sergeant was charging downhill, which was very advantageous in speed and height compared to the uphill Yan army.
When the rush continued, the advantage was no longer there, and the Yan army rushed over to support the front and back, and Li Yan's personal soldiers did not stop holding their feet with the banner held high, and rushed directly towards another ravine in front of the oblique.
The Western Song sergeant who rushed over from behind did not rush to the enemy, but ran away with the general flag!
The Yan army, who came to support behind, didn't even meet each other, only saw that the forest was dusty, and the people were gone.
Yan Jiang was puzzled, what does this mean, just rush it?
If you don't fight, if you don't fight, we can leave?
The guard asked General Yan: "Captain, what should I do, do you want to chase or not?"
” General Yan: "The general has something to say first, Gu'an is the top priority, they just run."
We continued on our way. ” "Yes."
Li Yan led people to run away for a while, but Yan Jun really didn't chase after him.
With a burst of relief in his heart, he shouted: "Assemble the team and count the casualties."
A few others were left behind to estimate the results of the battle. ” Not long after, the subordinate generals came to report: "Back to the general, our army has 100 minor injuries, 20 serious injuries, and 132 missing." ” If you are missing, you will be considered dead.

However, this result was better than Li Yan expected.
Judging from his experience, the casualties of the other side are definitely far above his own.
They have never lost more than they won against the Yan army, and even if it was a small victory this time, it was enough for Li Yan to be happy.
With the people and horses, they rushed to Bizhupo according to the original plan.
Cai Xin was at the front of the team, and he did not stay when he was attacked in the rear.
When the battle was over, the sergeant came to report the results, Cai Xin sneered: "I know that this is the case, I don't dare to confront us head-on, I only dare to sneak around!"
Hurry as soon as possible!
” Hongda also noticed the grain and war horses in the Yan army, and scolded secretly in his heart, this can be so burning, could it be a sneak attack on these horses?
Seeing that the tail of the team was about to come into sight, Qi Yueran finally sent a new instruction: hang the tail of the Yan army and sneak attack at any time.
What do you mean, follow all the way?
Hong Da was a little confused for a while, and the adjutant hurriedly said: "General, this is not bad, but you can take a lot of heads!"
Hong Da thought about it, Yan Jun was in a hurry, probably not in the mood to turn back and clean him up, as long as he followed behind, he would run away if he killed someone, and Yan Jun couldn't help him!
The Yan army continued to move forward, walking around the mountain in front, and there was a feeling that the mountains and rivers were exhausted, but the spies had already found out that this was indeed a road, and turning the corner was the main road.
The adjutant general said: "General, the line of sight in front is blocked, it is not advisable to move forward rashly, why don't your subordinates take someone to check it out first?"
” Cai Xin wanted to refuse, but he was careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, so he ordered the army to stop, and the deputy general led a team of men and horses to explore the road first.
While waiting, Cai Xin was not idle, he looked a few times before and after, left and right, the mountains were gentle, the trees were sparse, and it was not suitable for ambush and sneak attack.
But there is a dangerous place ahead, so be careful when you pass by.
After a while, the adjutant general rushed back and shouted: "General, you can pass!"
” Cai Xin immediately hit his horse and walked forward, turned the corner, and sure enough, it suddenly opened up, and the road was a lot wider, and there was no sense of crampedness at all.
There are some doubts in my heart, this Western Song Dynasty Chen Chong is not used to concentrate the soldiers in his hands, what is the plan, is it waiting for them somewhere ahead?
What a good place to ambush just now!
It's a pity, it's a pity.
The Yan army brigade walked far away, and there was a sudden muffled sound on the mountain, and there was a faint vibration under the feet.
I saw countless stones, waist-thick tree trunks rolling down from the hillside, and the 708 roads that were still waiting for the sergeants on the road to attack, after a miserable scream, the Yan State sergeants were either rushed directly down the valley, or pressed by the rolling wood, and a ghost cried wolf.
The sergeants in the rear came to their senses and hurriedly rushed over to help rescue the robes, and countless sergeants were seriously injured and fractured.
But the Western Song army did not take advantage of the chaos to rush over.
Cai Xin was startled at first, and then laughed.
The adjutant general hid his anger and asked, "Why is the general laughing?"
” Cai Xin said: "I laugh at that Chen Chong is a little clever, but he is still a little bit cold, just now, if you start a moment earlier, you and I will die under the rocks and trees, and the 20,000 army will collapse without a fight, do you say he is shrewd or stupid!"
” The adjutant general didn't know what to say to refute for a while, and said, "But we have suffered heavy casualties!"
” "Leave a team of men and horses to escort the wounded back, and we move on!"
"Report, Cai Xin left with the army, and thousands of people in the rear stayed behind to take care of the wounded soldiers and returned!"
A mountaineer with bare arms and a dark complexion rushed to the dense place of the mountain and forest, and reported to the Western Song army, which was waiting for the battle.
The leader spit out a stalk of grass in his mouth, and lazily put on his helmet: "Brothers, have rested enough, let's do it." ”
