Chapter 174: Seeing Through
After the forgery incident, Cai Yingxian was appointed as the commander of the Jingsheng Army, the Jingyuan Road Strategy and Pacification Envoy, and finally served as the chief officer of the five military commanders including Jingyuan and Linyan, and took charge of the Western Army of the Five Routes. It can be said that the ultimate goal is to be the commander of the soldiers.
During this period, although Cai Ying tried to prevent the people from turning over the old tents, and adjusted the defense zones of the five imperial guards and adjusted the Jingyuan Road to the Xiaosheng Army, in fact, in the Xiaosheng Army, the traces of Wang Xiaocheng and other Wang family members could not be erased.
On the one hand, the Western Army is composed. In addition to the main army, the Xiang army, the township soldiers and the recruitment of foreign soldiers from border prefectures are foreign soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is strong and cannot be ignored. Every two or three years, a group of Jianrui generals and soldiers in the city are supplemented from the Xiang army, the township soldiers and even the foreign soldiers to the main army; and many of these Xiang army, the township soldiers and the foreign soldiers have been recruited by Wang Xiaocheng, Wang Ju and other Wang family children, or have been commanded by the commander.
On the other hand, the Liu family and the Wang family both came from Jingzhou generals. Liu Shidao and Liu Shizhong brothers successively took charge of the Xiaosheng Army, appointed and promoted a group of Jingzhou to generals and military officials. Many of them had old acquaintances with the Wang family, and even some of them had in-laws.
Liu Yan and Chen Yuan were even more familiar with Wang. Chen Yuan even served as an official under Wang Ju in his early years, and the Jingzhou Township soldiers were a general.
At this time, they saw that before Wang Ju's powerful iron spear, no one could beat him, and immediately knew him.
Since Xu Huaidu may have the son of Wang Xiaocheng, it is not difficult to imagine that Wang Ju escaped from the fire in the state prison that year.
The old soldiers around Liu Yan knew something about that time, and many people even secretly rumored that there was a fire in Jingzhou Prison that was caused by Liu Yan, who was sent by his uncle Liu Shidao. At this moment, they couldn't help but look at Liu Yan, not knowing what he would make to make a choice.
Before the horses were removed from the horses in Hewei Pogang, Xu Huai, Liu Yan and Chen Yuan had already formulated a combat plan, and also considered that when Yin Peng led the ambush out in Xu Xin'an, more than a hundred cavalry on the flanks would likely directly bite a remnant of the Western Army to attack.
At this time, two other teams of Western Army remnants need to launch a fierce attack on the mountaintops to prevent them from staring at the first team of Western Army remnants.
At this time, the war was advancing, which was completely within their expectations. If Liu Yan and Chen Yuan were not in control at this time, before Xu Xin'an and Yin Peng led the ambush into the battlefield, Xu Huai and the others would face more than 200 enemy troops attacking each other. Even when another 300 enemy cavalry came, they would rush to Xu Xin'an and Yin Peng to encircle Xu Huai and the rest of the Western Army.
Liu Yan recognized Wang Ju, and at this moment he was shocked and suspicious, with distractions in his heart, but hesitated and looked at him many eyes. In particular, Xu Huai also glanced at him from time to time while killing the enemy, as if he was burning fire, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "My sons, follow me to annihilate the enemy on the mountain, don't lose the ambition of our Western Army!"
Liu Yan led his men to attack Pogang, and Chen Yuan had nothing to hesitate to attack from the west side.
They have the advantage of using their military armor and strength. They have the advantage of annihilation of more than a hundred enemy soldiers on the top of the Pogang. The task of intercepting the outer enemy cavalry is the task. The remaining soldiers and two troops led by Xu Huai were the forests in the north. The ambush came out from the stream and the valley.
Without any last resort, another hundred cavalry, as the last reserved troops, would not easily break out of the valley.
"Liu Yan is better than the previous generation figures of the Liu family!"
Xu Huai eleven people lived in front of him, not only like a rock, but also like a sharp knife. He rushed over more than a hundred cavalry and killed the enemy cavalry in pieces. Behind him were the remaining soldiers of the Western Army, and there were also frightened birds. Some of them were brave enough to be the foundation. He was already led by several military officials, and they were surrounded and killed from both wings to those scattered enemy cavalry.
The battle situation has stabilized here, and Xu Huai and Wang Juze’s Yuyu observe the movements in other directions.
Seeing Liu Yan and Chen Yuan led the remaining soldiers from the east and west sides to launch a fierce attack on the slopes, Wang Ju wanted to look up to them.
Xu Huai of course considered Liu Yan. Chen Yuan might be stupid after knowing Wang Ju's identity, but if that was the case, they would have to force themselves to fight out, and would no longer hope to rescue many Western army soldiers from this chaos.
Fortunately, Liu Yan and Chen Yuan did not show any signs of disappointment.
At this time, the three hundred aid cavalry had already rushed to the south of the hill, but the previous ones of more than a hundred cavalry launched an attack from the southeast side and had been completely blocked. The hundred generals Hulejian also knew that continuing to entangle would only be more passive, and could only take their men and horses to retreat and meet with the three hundred aid cavalry first.
Hule swayed his horse's head and looked at the hillside behind him, feeling bitter and crying without tears.
There were still many war horses running in front of the hillside, but there was no one on the saddle.
More than a dozen corpses were crossing the slope, and blood was still flowing out; some of the injuries were severely injured because Chi Hu Jianrui was knocked off the horse, and there was no way to escape, and he had become a lamb to be slaughtered.
The remaining soldiers of the Western Army were merciless, and they grabbed the red-guarded wounded soldiers with their hair and braids on their heads, exposing their throats and cutting them with a pouch knife.
These scenes made the hundred-house general Hule Jian's eyes split. The general led 300 reinforcements to arrive and said, "Kuoti, the southern thief is treacherous. I accidentally told him that he killed more than 20 sons. It's really hateful! Whatever you want to fight next, I will listen to you!"
Kuoti tied the reins and swept the slope like a pair of sharp-eyed eagles.
Although the first dismount was that more than a hundred troops were already in chaos with the two teams of Western Army remnants, because the number of troops and armor was related to them, they were obviously at a disadvantage, but they were not afraid to order the teams to cover up and rescue the siege.
He looked at the remaining soldiers of the Western Army first, and then stared at the Tongbai Mountain soldiers advancing south along the slopes on both sides of the east and west sides. He waved his whip and pointed at them, "Hulejian, look at those people seem to have worn out armor, but they are walking in such a sequence, and there is no chaos on the left and right. There are not many people who can tear open the gaps during the journey. How could there be a broken soldiers who escaped from the south bank of Huihe? The team of troops who had previously encountered a hiding here, and I suspect that these people should have prepared here!"
Hulejian said bitterly, "I just hit my head and blood, how could I not see it? Especially those more than a dozen southern thieves, who were obviously more than a hundred generals, but they pretended to be ordinary soldiers and put iron armor in their uniforms, which led us to the trap. There were two leaders, and they could be said to be as strong as a hundred enemies and tens of thousands of generals, but they didn't know where they came out. In the southern thief army, is it very common for such a brave general?"
"The southern dog that Molik returned, please pay attention to the possibility of sending troops from Shuozhou. Perhaps these people are from Shuozhou?" Kuoti said in confusion.
"There are only a few thousand southern soldiers in Shuozhou. If you really want to draw so many, you are brave and obviously prepared. Wouldn't thousands of troops in Shuozhou be hidden in this mountain?" Hulejian asked in shock.
Although it has only been four days since the formal declaration of war, Kulejian has participated in battles of all sizes for the past four days, and his impression of the attack on Yan army has been quite intuitive.
In their opinion, these dozens of people could resist the rushing of more than a hundred cavalrymen in front of the formation and remained unmoved, and could kill more than twenty of them in less than a cup of tea. These dozens of people were probably brave in the Southern Army, and they could not help but suspect that there were more ambushers hidden in the mountains in the north.
"..." Kuoti curled his eyes and looked at the hills to the north.
If you really have to look closely, you can see some clues.
"How to fight next? More than a hundred and fiery ladies we have returned are trapped on the slope. We can't let these southern thieves encircle and annihilate them, right?" Hulejian asked.
"We will send people to report to Molihu immediately," Kuoti was worried that these southerners would set up a trap, so he dared not be too arrogant. He said to Hulejian, "We divided our troops and attacked from the flanks, and hoped to drag Molihu to arrive!"
"Why don't they rush up?" Yuan Lei saw three hundred cavalry reinforcements coming, and he met with dozens of cavalry who had retreated, but he didn't organize cavalry attack again. Instead, he divided several teams and squirted on the flank with crossbows.
The two sides were only four or five hundred steps apart. Kuoti, Hulejian and other foreign generals looked at the hills in the north from time to time. Xu Huai could see clearly and frowned and said, "They may suspect that we are hiding more ambushers in the mountains, so they dare not move easily at this time! You can see that the cavalry is going southeast and southwest. There should be more cavalry coming from the outside. We have to quickly annihilate all the encampments on the slope, and before more enemy cavalry arrive, escape to the mountains for a temporary rest!" He said to Wang Ju, "Uncle Qi, how many people are you here to stay. I will go to Niu Er, Xiao Yi, Yuan Lei and others to help Liu Yan, Chen Yuan and others!"
Liu Yan and Chen Yuan led the remnants, and most of the soldiers were still unable to completely get rid of the panic as frightened birds. At present, they only had the advantage of their armor and numbers to suppress more than a hundred enemy soldiers, so that they could not break through. However, if they wanted to annihilate these more than a hundred enemy soldiers in a short time, they had to be stronger, and they would fight will. The momentum was like a rainbow and rushed into the more than a hundred enemy soldiers, cutting them into pieces, and then annihilated them.
It is difficult for the remnants led by Liu Yan and Chen Yuan to do this at this time.
Xu Huai was worried that if he delayed, it would inevitably be that the enemy cavalry gathered. He decided to wear armor again to help Liu Yan, Chen Yuan and the others.
"Shuozhou troops have entered the east and west wing positions. They can support here at any time. Two or three people can accompany me here to flirt with you. Let Wang Xian go there with you." Wang Ju said.
Xu Huai confirmed that the outer cavalry would not attack him for a short time, and agreed to Wang Xian go up to fight together.
However, as the first team, six or seven of them killed Shangpogang from the south, and some were a little thin. He looked at the remaining soldiers of the Western Army on the left and right, pointed at the enemy soldiers gathered together on the slope, and asked, "It is said that the Western Army is strong and powerful, but the brave soldiers of the First Round of the First Round dared to climb the parade and kill those barbarians with us?"
The Xiaosheng Army and Xuanwu Army were defeated so quickly under the attack of the Chihu people. Of course, they have no qualifications to be called a strong army. The so-called elite army is only relatively weaker in combat power, and it is even more pitiful to the imperial guards in Hedong, Hedong and other places.
