Lin Ya's harassment campaign was effective at first, but Chen Zhou's army was struggling to save the people who had not taken refuge in the city.
As time passed, news spread everywhere that the Northern Liao army massacred the remaining villagers. Those people could not sit still and went to the city one after another.
With few people outside the city, Chen Zhoujun's interception turned into an ambush.
After losing more than a thousand people, Lin Ya called a halt to this harassment war.
The emperor sent an envoy.
"The war is about to begin. Your Majesty orders you to serve as the right wing of the army."
"Take orders."
Lin Ya was on the right wing, and his first task was to prevent Chen Zhoujun from joining the battle group.
"Lin Ya's troops have calmed down."
On the top of the city, Nan He said: "After suffering several losses, the troops withdrew back. They all gathered together, but refused to attack the city. This is to isolate our army."
The old thief said: "But if we can contain Lin Ya's troops, I don't think it's a bad thing."
Han Ji said: "Yes! It's not a bad thing!"
A group of sticks and sticks wanted to preserve their strength. Let the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army fight with the Helianfeng army, while the Chenzhou Army watched the battle.
"Lin Ya would also think so." Yang Xuan's words made everyone secretly happy.
Han Ji felt that the old thief's joy was exaggerated... This old guy is not a timid person!
"But you have forgotten one thing. How could He Lianfeng let his mortal enemy watch the battle?" Yang Xuan shook his head.
…
"The emperor is just playing hard to get." Lin Ya said quietly: "How can he let me watch the battle?"
The next day, the emperor sent an envoy again.
"Your Majesty asked, can Linhe be captured?"
Lin Ya shook her head, "There are too few troops."
The envoy said: "In this case, your Majesty orders one of your troops to contain Chenzhou's army, and the other to return and participate in the decisive battle."
Lin Ya had expected this a long time ago and agreed happily.
Later, he arranged for his confidant Yelüdelin to stay.
"I give you 20,000 troops. Remember, it is for defense, not attack. In addition, everything in the camp remains the same, making it impossible for the Tang army to determine the number of troops..."
Yerudelin agreed.
"I know that you have some friendship with Chen Qiu. This is an opportunity. If you seize it, Yang Gou can only watch the battle."
"yes."
Yeludelin raised his head, his eyes filled with joy.
He was on good terms with Chen Qiu, so he was the one who contacted Lin Ya about the Chen family in the first place. But he didn't expect that the emperor actually held the evidence of Chen's crime and kept it secret. It was like watching a play, watching them make trouble, and finally
Chen was killed with one slap.
His friend Chen Qiu was transformed from a prince-in-law to a groom for Princess Changling. It was said that he was castrated.
These are nothing.
What made Yeludelin furious was that it was said that Princess Changling liked Yang Gou!
Lin Ya asked him to stay behind because he valued this... Yelu Delin used his troops steadily and with hatred, he would keep an eye on Lin He twelve hours a day.
That night, Lin Ya led the troops to evacuate.
At the top of the city, the old thief suddenly closed his eyes.
"Old thief, you're on guard duty! Don't sleep." Wang Laoer ate the dried meat and kicked him.
"There are a lot of horses neighing." The old thief opened his eyes, "Listen."
Wang Laoer tilted his ears.
"Why didn't I hear that?"
"This is a secret skill." The old thief said: "When you go to meet a noble person, your biggest fear is to be discovered. Therefore, I have a secret skill passed down from family, please listen."
"Oh!" Wang Laoer suddenly realized, "No wonder you laugh so obscenely every time you squat outside the brothel. You heard something."
"roll!"
The old thief hurriedly went to report it.
Yang Xuan has already fallen asleep.
"Sure?"
"When the villain went to meet the noble man underground, he used his secret skills to escape six times."
If it weren't for the secret skill passed down from his family, he would have been trapped underground long ago.
"Tomb robbing is also a technical job!" Yang Xuan stood up and called everyone to discuss.
"He's going back." Han Ji expressed everyone's judgment.
"How many have gone back, how much is left..." Nan He said: "I thought there would be no less than 20,000 left."
Yang Xuan said: "No matter how many, we will go to battle tomorrow!"
Wang Laoer squatted beside him and yawned, "Lang Jun, then go back to sleep?"
"Um!"
Yang Xuan was also sleepy.
Wang Laoer stood up and said, "Just say a few words, you can do it tomorrow morning!"
yes!
It seems possible.
Snap!
Tu Shang slapped him in the face and said angrily: "Why are you talking to Lang Jun?"
Yang Xuan frowned, "Why beat him?"
Wang Laoer said aggrievedly: "I took turns with the old thief in the middle of the night. I was really sleepy."
People with simple minds want to sleep when the time comes. They toss and turn and can't fall asleep. If it doesn't exist, they just lie down and fall asleep.
After Yang Xuan left, Tu Chang stretched out his hand to touch the place where he had just slapped, and said softly: "Mr. Lang is becoming more and more majestic. Don't talk back in the future. Whatever Mang Jun says will be whatever he says."
Wang Laoer yawned, "But I can't remember it!"
Tu Shang's eyes flashed fiercely, "Do you remember?"
Wang Laoer actually thought about it seriously, which made Tu Chang despair, "Maybe, I can't remember it either!"
In the early morning, Yang Xuan got up.
In the second half of the night, he was thinking about the war and couldn't sleep well.
"Mr. Lang."
Jiang He'er came in and made the bed and folded the quilt.
Go out and He Lianyan will help you wash up.
All he needs is a beautiful girl to help him go to the toilet.
Damn it!
Too extravagant!
Yang Xuan just thought about it and subconsciously touched his waist.
My waist is weak!
"Mr. Lang, are you going to fight today?" Jiang He'er tidied up the bed and followed him to wash up.
"Um!"
Jiang Heer held the toothbrush made of ponytail in his mouth and said with a smile: "Why don't we stay here?"
"That's what the guests think."
Jiang He'er was startled, and He Lianyan said, "Lang Jun wants to be the master!"
"Master!" Jiang Heer said.
"Yeah!" Yang Xuan responded.
Then, a strange feeling suddenly occurred.
After breakfast, Yang Xuan put on his armor.
"The people in the city are waiting outside." Han Ji entered the lobby.
"Why?" the old thief asked.
"Worried." Han Ji said.
"Today is all about a battle." Yang Xuan said, "Let's go!"
Lin Feibao was the first to leave the lobby, while the Qiu Long Guards were scattered around, secretly protecting Yang Xuan.
Later, Han Ji looked at this scene and sighed: "Lang Jun walks like a dragon and a tiger steps, which is admirable."
The old thief coughed dryly and said, "Praise louder, otherwise you won't be able to hear me and you will be blinded in vain."
Han Ji shook his head and said seriously: "Everything I said came from the bottom of my heart. Look, Langjun walks with his left and right sides separated. Every step is solid and powerful, but his body is as straight as a pine tree. This is the posture of a hero!"
The old thief asked: "You have been in Chang'an for a long time, and those powerful people don't have such a posture?"
"Yes. But..."
"But what?"
"It's all just an act!"
Yang Xuan naturally didn't expect that Han Ji would advocate that some of his foreign characters were like dragons and tigers. At this moment, he looked at the silent people around him, cupped his hands and said, "Go back, everyone!"
The people moved, but no one left.
What if Chen Zhoujun goes to battle and loses?
Linhe is not safe!
Someone shouted: "Your Majesty, can this battle be won?"
Yang Xuan said nothing, raised his hand and slowly made a fist.
Silent response.
The people raised their hands and slowly made fists.
A momentum shot straight into the sky.
…
The people watched the army leave the city.
"Fight!" an old man shouted filial piety, "pick up weapons, let's go to the top of the city to help you fight!"
The people rushed to the top of the city, but the soldiers who stayed behind scolded them to no avail.
"Don't squeeze! There's no need for you to wait for help!"
But where there was no resistance, the people rushed to the city.
He held all kinds of strange weapons in his hands.
Panting, they pushed forward one after another, wanting to see the army.
Saw it.
The army marched in silence.
Under the banner, the figure is still calm, with a straight back.
…
"The Tang army attacks?" Yelu Delin was stunned, but then he reacted, "The withdrawal was discovered last night. In that case, let's go to war!"
Twenty thousand versus twenty thousand, he didn't think he would lose.
"Get out of camp!"
This fight started in a way no one expected.
Because it was a besieged city, the camp was not far from Linhe City.
After leaving the camp and moving forward, they confronted Chen Zhoujun not long after.
The people at the top of the city watched nervously.
"No need for any testing?"
Han Ji said, because the enemy troops moved.
"Accept the challenge!" Yang Xuan raised his hand.
The cavalry began to accelerate.
"Fire the arrow!"
The rain of arrows that the Tang army most feared and loathed its opponents was coming.
"Just one wave!"
Yeludelin said calmly.
The distance between the two sides was too close, and the Tang army's crossbows could only move once.
A wave of arrows took away many Northern Liao troops, followed by long bows.
Archers stand in front of the formation.
"Fire the arrow!"
Letting go of his hand, the archer followed the rules, turned around and ran away.
The array is formed!
Long spears were arrayed neatly.
Yerudelin's deputy general has been holding back from the beginning until now, but he has stopped talking.
"What do you want to say?" Yeludelin didn't like this.
The deputy general said: "Xiang Wen, Prime Minister Zuo ordered us to hold on."
Instead of attacking.
Yelu De Lin said calmly: "What are you holding on to? Look, Chenzhou's army is less than 20,000, so why should we hold on? Prime Minister Lin meant to be cautious, and I did not make a surprise attack. This is caution."
The lieutenant general felt something was wrong and always felt something was wrong, "Prime Minister Lin strictly ordered us to defend to death!"
If Chenzhou Army dares to get past them, they can send troops to attack Linhe City. Without Chenzhou Army, Linhe City will be an undefended beauty.
So, why go to war?
Yeludlin pointed forward, "Go and keep an eye on it."
The deputy general thought it was a good idea, so he rode up.
A sergeant came over and whispered: "Well done!"
Yelu Delin smiled, "Lin Ya wants to preserve her strength and makes me defend, but she doesn't know that I am His Majesty's man!"
The sergeant—actually the Eagle Guard also laughed, "You have been friends with Chen Qiu for many years...how can you feel aggrieved?"
Yelu Delin said in disgust: "That's a waste. For your Majesty's grand plan, I can only pretend to be a good person. However, fortunately, I got the evidence of Chen's crime."
"Your Majesty said that all your achievements will be remembered. After this battle, Lin Ya's good days will be numbered. When that time comes, you will be rewarded together."
Yelu Delin's eyes were full of joy and he said, "I want to tell you, Your Majesty, that I only want to be loyal to Your Majesty."
The sergeant nodded, "In this battle, it is best for both sides to suffer losses."
"I know that it will consume both Tang's army and Lin Ya's men. Killing two birds with one stone!"
Contact has been made at the front.
Suddenly people were on their backs.
The Tang army's spear array was impeccable, and the enemy troops attacked frantically, shouting fierce battles in front of the array.
One by one, the cavalrymen fell off their horses, and some stood up desperately to escape, but who could care about whom in the chaos?
He was knocked away by his own war horse and then trampled to death. There were miserable howls and curses, mixed with the long neigh of the fallen war horse...
Hell is not enough to describe this moment.
The Northern Liao cavalry advanced one after another, but the horses were frightened by the brutal fighting and stopped moving forward. The infantry actually dismounted and charged to kill them.
"You are really brave!" Han Ji looked at this scene and sighed with emotion.
"If you are not brave enough, how can you dominate for so many years?" Yang Xuan knew that Bei Liao was still at its peak, while the Tang Dynasty was in decline.
Decline is not scary. What is scary is that while declining, one still thinks that he is still the powerful and unrivaled Tang Dynasty.
There are countless examples in history. When being beaten to the ground by an opponent, everyone is still stunned from top to bottom: Isn’t I the best in the world?
After the "Number One" sign was smashed, the country became a broken drum.
Thousands of people beat the drum!
Sometimes Yang Xuan really wanted to bring down the false emperor and let him come to northern Xinjiang to see the people and see the so-called prosperous age that he was so proud of.
What he was even more curious about was why the pseudo-emperor didn't leave the palace. At least he went out to visit the people and learn about the dire straits in the so-called prosperous times!
Is the pear garden so good?
Even if you really like singing and dancing, you can't just eat it, right?
"Lang Jun." Jiang He'er's voice floated over.
I'm distracted, I'm distracted!
Yang Xuan cheered up and found to his surprise that he felt relaxed all over.
Nervous?
Gone!
He even saw the enemy general, pointing in this direction under the banner, he should look calm!
There, the Tang army's formation was slowly moving forward.
The numbers of both sides were equal. The Northern Liao Army was dominated by cavalry, while the Chenzhou Army was dominated by infantry. However, after a fierce fight, the Tang Army actually gained the upper hand.
Yang Xuan said calmly: "It's not surprising."
"Twenty thousand versus twenty thousand, our Chenzhou Army actually has the advantage. This...this is the Northern Liao Iron Cavalry!" Jiang He'er's face turned red with excitement.
Yang Xuan raised his whip and pointed forward, "My men train hard every day. I dare say they train harder than any strong army in the world. Suffering is one thing, but if you don't know how to do it, training is in vain."
.My method of training soldiers, dare I say it, is unparalleled by anyone in this world!"
Mr. Lang, you are so confident!
But I firmly believe it... Jiang Heer nodded.
In the scroll, the thousands-year history of that world is actually a grand history of war. Countless military techniques gathered together, and Yang Xuan learned and practiced them.
His military skills are unparalleled in the world!
However, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
He needs a stage.
In front of him is his stage.
Under his command, he believed that he was heading towards the path of becoming the most powerful army in the world.
His military skills make his men invincible.
Now is the time.
"Chenzhou Army has the advantage!" On the opposite side, Yelu Delin also discovered this and said in disbelief: "But you are a coward? Go and take my guards. Anyone who dares to be a coward will be killed!"
His escort went up.
But no one is timid!
The two armies fought desperately. Logically speaking, Yelu Delin should have sized up the situation and dispatched the good soldiers left behind by Lin Ya in the disadvantaged situation. However, he hesitated when he saw the crowd of people surrounding Yang Gou under his banner.
Half an hour later, the Northern Liao army could no longer hold on.
"Attack!" Yelu Delin also felt that his mission was almost completed, so he ordered more than ten experts to attack.
Opposite me, Yang Xuan smiled and said: "You are playing this with me... He doesn't know that I am the ancestor of the camp? It's interesting. Old Huang!"
"Take the order!" Lin Feibao raised his hand.
Ning Yayun was a little curious, "I don't need to go?"
Yang Xuan sent a rainbow fart, "You are the Dinghai Divine Needle, you can't move it easily!"
As they spoke, they faced each other in front.
As soon as they faced each other, Nan He lost no time in asking for orders.
"Lang Jun, the time is almost here."
Yang Xuan looked at it, waved his hand gently, and the flag waved behind him. He said: "Lin Ya, this idiot, left 20,000 troops, dared to take the initiative when facing me, I am very curious, who gave the enemy general the courage
!?"
"Your Majesty's order, the whole army will attack!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Amid cheers, Chenzhou's army mobilized in full force!
At the same time, Lin Feibao knocked away a good hand with a stick and shouted: "Capture the thief and capture the king!"
"Failed!"
Yelu Delin was shocked to find that he had overfulfilled the task given by the emperor. But, what was Lin Ya's explanation?
What's even more terrible is that he tried his best to face Yang Gou today, and his subordinates are all elites, but he couldn't find any chance of victory against Yang Gou.
In other words, from the army to the generals.
He was completely defeated today!
The confidence he had when facing Yang Gou earlier was gone at this moment. Looking at the big flag and the relaxed figure, a kind of helplessness that made Yeludlin despair arose spontaneously.
