The sun was rising high, shining brightly on the armor of the officers and soldiers in front of the formation. Standing on the top of the mountain, Wang Xiaolie felt a little dazzling.

With the commander's flag pointing forward, Shao Ling led 150 cavalrymen and rushed towards Yang Jin's formation like the wind. When they arrived in front of the formation, they saw that the enemy's formation was not panicked. They temporarily changed direction and passed in front of the formation.

Got to the other side.

Wang Xiaolie saw it on the mountain and changed the flag at any time to direct the cavalry's combat direction.

Sometimes, Wang Xiaolie had the urge to let the cavalry charge forward. No matter how Yang Jin's army defended, they should be more accurate and fight with all their strength. They were a mob, how could they stop his troops? But he knew in his heart that

These 300 cavalrymen were all my wealth. Once there was a loss, it would be difficult to replenish it. After gaining territory, it was no longer the same disregard as it had been a few months ago.

After scanning several times in front of Yang Jin's formation, Yang Jin's formation became a little panicked. He temporarily forced strong men to join the army, and his performance was already very good. Wang Xiaolie only had this requirement for his own army.

Looking at the sun in the sky, Wang Xiaolie said: "It won't work if there is no blood on the battlefield. After fighting for so long, no one from Yang Jin's army has come to attack. It seems that he has decided to defend. He ordered Shao Ling

, charge straight to the enemy’s right flank! No matter what happens, keep charging forward!”

The soldiers next to him agreed. They used their flags to command and ordered Shao Ling to rush forward.

Looking at the one hundred and fifty cavalrymen who were like hammers, they hit the right wing of Yang Jin's formation. In a moment, there was a bloody light.

It was cloudless today, and the sun hung overhead, casting thousands of golden lights. Although the battle was fierce in the front, Wang Xiaolie in the rear could not hear much noise, and felt empty. The large formation of Xie Linong and Yu Huan, in the sunshine,

Be motionless next time.

This feeling is completely different from when Wang Xiaolie led his troops into the battle a few months ago. At that time, he just rushed forward with a burst of blood and even forgot about life and death. Now he is far away from the front line and pays attention to the war at all times.

After all, Yang Jin's army was an army of bandits. Under Shao Ling's attack, the formation began to become chaotic. His general saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly mobilized troops from the left wing to assist. For a while, the military formation was somewhat chaotic.

Wang Xiaolie looked up at the sun in the sky, took a long breath and said, "Order Niugao to attack the enemy's left wing!"

With the commander's flag raised and the horn blaring, Niu Gao's troops on the hillside in the south rushed down the mountain like flying and rushed straight to the left wing of Yang Jin's formation. Like the wind, in the blink of an eye, they hit it

On the military battlefield.

The two armies faced each other from left to right. After a few cups of tea, Yang Jin's army formation became chaotic.

The handsome flag beside Wang Xiaolie was rolled up and pointed straight ahead. Xie Linong and Yu Huan, who were behind, led their infantry and accompanied by war drums, and rushed forward to kill. It didn't take long to reach the target with one shot.

He fought with Yang Jin's army.

Wang Xiaolie took a slight breath and felt a little confused for a moment. He always felt that he should be on the front line and rush to kill at the risk of his life. In fact, with thousands of troops under his command, such opportunities were rare.

The army of the Song dynasty generally required the commander to charge at the front. Nearby was Zhai Jin, who died in battle, and far away was Liu Ping, who was captured in Haoshuichuan. They were both commanders of the army, and they were required to charge at the front. If you were unlucky, the commander might die.

Or be captured, and the army will be in chaos.

Wang Xiaolie knew that when the two armies were fighting, the commander should not go to the front line. If the commander went to the front line, who would take command? Once something happened to the commander, the entire army would be disorganized. The habits of the Song Army were inherited from the Five Dynasties, and many things

It cannot be speculated based on common sense.

In less than half an hour, Yang Jin's army was defeated and retreated towards Minggao Mountain.

Wang Xiaolie and Cao Zhiyan's army followed their own army and pursued them all the way. They did not stop until they were three miles away from Minggao Mountain.

In the afternoon, Zhai Cong arrived with the rest of Wang Xiaolie's army. Seeing Wang Xiaolie, he was extremely excited.

Seeing Wang Xiaolie, Zhai Cong crossed his hands and said: "Zhizhou won a great victory today, Yang Jin's army is really vulnerable! There will be another bloody battle tomorrow, maybe Minggao Mountain will be captured and the bandit army will be wiped out!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "In the yamen, the one we are fighting today is Yang Jin's partial army. Now that we have reached the foot of Minggao Mountain, we are the main army. You have been fighting Yang Jin for more than a month. You should know that he is not easy to fight."

Zhai Cong said: "You can't say that. We are confronting Yang Jin on the Jiahe River, and we must cross the Yihe River before we fight. It is winter now, and the river is freezing cold, so crossing the river is not easy. It will be different when you get to the foot of Minggao Mountain! There are

I don’t know how much easier it will be to cross the Yi River if you hold them back!”

Wang Xiaoxing said: "Let's take a look. In the yamen, we won a big victory today, so we should drink and celebrate."

After saying that, he ordered the army to slaughter sheep and prepare wine for reward. Several military commanders were with him, and the generals and soldiers at all levels below had wine and meat, and the number was different according to the level. This place is fifty or sixty miles away from Ruzhou, and the food and grass are

Shipping is pretty easy.

Wang Xiaolie felt that the supply of materials at this time was not as difficult as he imagined. Although after the war, Ruzhou could still supply its three thousand troops, but they had to live more frugally. With the army outside, it could still be done

There is wine and meat.

The population at this time was far less dense than that of later generations, and many things were different. Especially compared with the Anti-Japanese War period, people's food was not so tight, the land was still loose, and productivity did not lag too far behind. If managed well, it should

There is no shortage of money and food.

After entering the handsome tent, everyone sat down and wine was served.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Wang Xiaoxing said: "We have won a great victory today. We have arrived at the foot of Minggao Mountain. I am so happy! Prepare some wine and meat today. Everyone can relax and rest after getting drunk! By the way, Shao Ling, don't drink too much.

, you are on duty tonight."

Shao Ling crossed his arms and sang a promise.

This is a system that has been established for a long time. There must be generals on duty in the army. The general cannot be drunk and the whole army does not know what to do. There are generals on duty who are temporarily in power and can deal with emergencies.

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's clear from today's battle that Yang Jin's army cannot fight hard. As long as we work together, it's not too difficult to break up their formation. By the way, what are the casualties today?"

Shao Ling said: "Twenty-eight of my one hundred and fifty cavalry were killed in the battle, and thirty-seven were injured. Thirteen of the horses were injured, and I'm afraid they will never be used as war horses. Alas, these horses were not easy to come by. It is a pity.

!”

Zhai Cong on the side said: "In such a battle, a dozen horses are nothing! If we defeat Yang Jin, I will give you fifty horses!"

Wang Xiaoxing said: "If that's the case, I'd like to thank you so much. To be honest, a few months ago, I fought a battle with the Jin army and got dozens of war horses. Later, after many things, I collected everything, and got Lu again.

The Taiwei donated troops, so we only managed to collect 300 horses."

Zhai Cong said: "I don't know how many horses the Jin man has! As long as he wins a few games, there will be no shortage."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "That's what the Yamen said. I just want to defeat the Jin people. It's not easy."

The Jin army did not necessarily rely on cavalry to fight. But when they attacked, almost all the main soldiers were mounted on horses, and often one soldier had several horses. A big victory against the Jin soldiers could indeed get a lot of horses. But now the Song Dynasty

Army, it is not easy to win the battle against the Jin Army.

Niugao's army also lost about 20 horses and more than 30 soldiers. The losses of the rest of the infantry were not much, only a dozen people. Because it was a rout in the end, many enemies were killed and few losses were suffered.

Xie Li Nong said: "This battle beheaded more than 300 people and captured more than 600 people. It can be considered a great victory. Zhizhou, what should we do with the prisoners of war?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Most of these prisoners of war were forced into the army by Yang Jin, so they are pitiful. Don't treat them harshly. Wait until after the war to return to Ruzhou and deal with them. Whether they are incorporated into the army or sent to farm, there will always be

usefulness."

Several people said yes together.

Captured officers and soldiers can be incorporated into their own troops. This is the practice at this time. Many armies have grown in this way. However, Wang Xiaolie does not dare to do so. He must undergo transformation. His current army does not transform prisoners.

ability, we need to find another way.

Many times, Wang Xiaolie felt that the facts were different from what he thought. Things that he thought were easy to do were actually very difficult to do. Things that were obviously good for the people actually had to be done.

There is not much support. Even in many ways, I have copied the successful methods from my previous life, but I am not understood.

All in all, Wang Xiaolie felt that there was always a gap between himself and the world. A lot of the knowledge he learned in his previous life clearly stated that he should do this in books, and once he did it, he would be supported, but that was not the case.

After talking about today's war, everyone in the commander's tent shouted to their heart's content, ate large pieces of meat, and drank heavily. Wang Xiaolie sat there, drinking with everyone, but he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, feeling that something was missing.

Not far away, in the Dazhai at the foot of Minggao Mountain, Yang Jin looked at several generals who had retreated from defeat with fierce expressions. If one of them hadn't been his brother-in-law, Yang Jin would have pushed them out and killed them all. Now Wang Xiaolie had forced

When we arrived at the Yishui River, we met Zhai Xing on the other side, and our situation became dangerous.

After scolding, several people were asked to go out, leaving Yang Jin drinking alone in the tent.

When the moon was above the willow tree, a soldier came in, crossed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there are two people outside asking to see you. They say they have important news, and they can let the attacking Wang Xiaohao's army be defeated."

Yang Jin raised his head and snorted coldly: "What a boast! Let them in. If it's just lies, I can just use their heads!"

Not long after, Fang Youming and Cheng Yasi entered the commander's tent and saluted Yang.

Looking at Fang Youming, Yang Jin said coldly: "I remember you. You said you have connections in Ruzhou and can do great things. Come back to see me this time, but are you ready to deal with Wang Xiaolie?"

Fang Youming said: "It's exactly like this if you take advantage of the king's power. This Cheng Yasi has been an official in Ruzhou for many years. What can't he do?"
