The war horses were neighing, and the water vapor they sprayed rapidly evaporated in the air. The war horses that had undergone rigorous training would still charge forward even if they faced mountains of swords and seas of fire.
but!
Now they are timid.
Stop moving forward!
Even, I want to go backwards.
Crossbows roared in one after another.
A Bei Liao general holding a mace had just turned around to order his subordinates to attack when he saw the frightened eyes of his subordinates.
Look behind yourself.
He turned back sharply.
The crossbow shot from his chest and took him flying off the horse.
The warriors who were invincible when charging into battle were now extremely weak under the crossbow.
The crossbows flew over one after another.
One, two... the highest record, three enemy soldiers were pierced together by a crossbow.
Tragic!
The momentum that was just like a rainbow was suppressed by this wave of blows.
Immediately, the Tang army launched a counterattack, and the enemy troops, whose morale was greatly reduced, retreated hastily.
"When the enemy's morale is high, it is a bad idea to suppress them head-on. Give them a chance to keep their morale high, and then give them a break. It's like..."
Huang Chunhui thought for a while, "It's like a fire that has just started. A basin of water is poured over the head, and the fire is gone."
He said it in an understatement, but there are various considerations and arrangements...
"One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage." This is Boss Yang's sentiment.
"It's a bed slave!" Xiao Hua, who had already received the news, said, "This move should be intentional."
"You mean, Huang Chunhui deliberately set this trap to damage the morale of our army?" Lin Ya couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Hua nodded, "That's exactly it."
Lin Ya didn't get such treatment last time... So he silently looked at the big flag opposite and thought, this sick tiger seems to be getting more and more serious.
The two sides repeatedly charged and killed each other until half an hour later, the other side retreated with a signal.
I can't continue fighting.
The frontline soldiers on both sides were exhausted.
Moreover, it has been replaced twice.
It must be taken down to rest.
The Tang army simply rested where they were and watched the enemy retreat coldly.
Even though they were retreating, the enemy troops still took their time, and their elite cavalry moved forward to cover the rear of the main force.
"No rush!"
Huang Chunhui smiled and said, "Move."
Thousands of cavalry rushed out from the flanks, and the enemy responded immediately: the retreating troops turned around and formed formation, and the elite cavalry covering them rushed over as if facing a powerful enemy.
Then, those thousands of cavalrymen... damn, they actually went back.
"Just teasing you!"
Yang Xuan found that the old man was really eclectic in his military use. He was majestic before, but now he looks like a naughty boy.
Huang Chunhui dismounted, and the horse also needed to rest.
His back was rare and straight, and he was surrounded by a group of civil and military officials, looking at the majestic scene.
"In the first battle, the enemy did not take any advantage. He Lianfeng should think carefully about how to fight next."
"Ms. sir, what if he doesn't attack?"
The person who asked this question must be a civil servant... Yang Xuan took a look, and sure enough.
"He has to attack. It's not easy to transport food and grass from Bei Liao. If he stays for one more day, Bei Liao will be weakened. Furthermore, this battle is Bei Liao's attack. If he doesn't attack, we can just defend the northern border. Look.
Let’s see who can outlast whom!”
This is said clearly.
Liao Jin handed over the water bag, and Huang Chunhui took a few sips.
"Your Majesty's command today actually made me feel like it was natural." Liao Jin really admired this old Shangguan.
Huang Chunhui put down the water bag, coughed dryly, bent his back, and then straightened it up.
Could it be that the curvature of his back is just an act?
This discovery shocked Yang Xuan.
Why does he pretend to be so old?
Huang Chunhui stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his lips, "That year, I was promoted and became Ninth Brother's deputy. Ninth Brother and I had a big drink. During the dinner, Ninth Brother drew a battlefield on the table with wine, and the two of us used our flesh to
Become a large army and fight three battles in a row!"
"Who wins and who loses?" Zhang Du couldn't help but ask.
Huang Chunhui shook his head.
That day, he and Brother Jiu were having a chat on the case table. In three battles, he lost two and won one.
Jiu Ge's troops were extremely sharp, and supplemented by the Northern Xinjiang Army in its heyday, the Northern Liao Dynasty on the opposite side could only take a defensive stance.
Brother Jiu, who was half drunk, patted his shoulder and said, "After me, you will be the one after me."
Brother Ninth was very good to him. Ever since he was a general, he had always given him guidance on how to use soldiers and practice. Unfortunately, he was slapped by He Lianhong's master, and from then on his cultivation could only be used to suppress injuries.
I remember that Ninth Brother was furious at the time and was about to hunt down Wang Xin himself, but was stopped by his subordinates.
Wang Xin thought about Ninth Brother... Huang Chunhui thought that Ninth Brother could kill her!
On the opposite side, Xiao Hua asked in detail about the situation of this battle and replied: "Your Majesty, the losses of the Northern Xinjiang Army are not less than those of our army, but they are still very resilient."
"Are we, the Daliao warriors, afraid?"
The emperor asked calmly.
The generals' faces turned red and they vowed to defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army in the next wave of attacks and clear the way for His Majesty to enter Taoxian County.
The emperor smiled, "I am waiting for the good news you have been waiting for!"
He is tired!
Looking ahead, I couldn't help but think of Ning Xing.
If a person lives to this level, he will have a lot of favors for this world.
I will like to reminisce and recall the people and events of that year.
The emperor was in a daze on the battlefield.
Just for a moment, he smiled and said: "I am so relaxed, it shows that I will win today."
He knows that memories are just reluctant to let go!
It's not that I don't want to let go of those years, but I don't want to let go of my young self, even if I look a little stupid now.
But it’s so silly that it makes people miss it.
"Give the soldiers more meat," the emperor ordered.
"Long live!"
Hundreds of thousands of people cheered in unison, which was deafening.
The emperor rubbed his earlobes and said with a smile: "The morale remains the same, next time..." He looked at Xiao Hua and then at Lin Ya.
Xiao Hua said: "Next battle, Tao County!"
Lin Ya nodded, "This battle should be a great victory!"
The other side also ate some food. Before the war, Yang Xuan sent a lot of cattle and sheep from Chenzhou, so the soldiers could eat dried meat.
"The wine pools and meat forests of the powerful in Chang'an are particularly inadequate. The loyal and brave men of Northern Xinjiang are fighting bloody battles, eating dried meat with happy faces. Zitai, tell me, how can this man be satisfied?"
Headmaster Ning seems to have some insights.
Yang Xuan said: "Human nature is greedy. When it comes to satisfaction, they are never satisfied. They are wandering among the thousands of mansions, just like lonely ghosts. They are satisfied and contented, but they don't know that there are thousands of mansions.
It’s the prison they built for themselves.”
Ning Yayun said with satisfaction: "Desire is a prison. I am very satisfied that you can understand these words."
"People who are controlled by material desires are sad." Yang Xuan thought of another world, where material is the only criterion to measure a person's success, so the whole world is crazy about pursuing material desires...
"Go to Metaphysics someday and talk about this." Ning Yayun said.
hehe!
This is trying to flatter me!
Let me take over willingly!
Yang Xuan felt that Ning Yayun thought too much.
He has no interest in metaphysics.
If he takes over the position of the master of metaphysics, not to mention others, Yi Niang can burn down the gate of metaphysics with a fire.
If you don't act like a good emperor, how can you be a leader?
ah!?
Yang Xuan shuddered.
"The enemy is coming!"
The enemy troops on the opposite side moved.
"fifty thousand!"
shouted the lookout.
"This is the decisive battle!" Huang Cunhui held the handle of the knife, "Zitai!"
"exist!"
"Chen Zhoujun, it's time to go."
"Take orders!"
Yang Xuangang was about to start, but Huang Chunhui stopped him, "This battle will be won!"
This is asking whether I can confidently block the enemy and launch a counterattack... Yang Xuan nodded, "We must win!"
Huang Chunhui wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but Yang Xuan had already passed by.
Chen Zhoujun is on top!
It was Jiang Heer's first time to experience such a battle, and he was trembling with excitement.
"Why are you shaking?" He Lianyan had already provided a lot of analysis to Yang Xuan before.
Jiang Heer said stiffly, "Why am I shaking?"
He Lianyan pointed out her cruelty.
The evil is shaking.
The earth is also shaking.
Fifty thousand enemy cavalry launched a general attack.
"Once the gap is opened, the subsequent army will attack in full force and defeat our Northern Xinjiang Army in one fell swoop."
Yang Xuan pointed forward and said: "Don't feel bad about the crossbows, just release all the crossbows."
"Take orders!"
"Fire the arrow!"
The black cloud composed of crossbow arrows rose into the sky again.
Empty areas appeared in patches, but they could not stop the already crazy enemy troops.
The crossbows passed by, and this time, I finally saw some timidity - the enemy soldiers were lying on their horses, wishing they could shrink into a ball.
The crossbow gun swept across the front, and then came into contact.
Ahead, Yang Xuan didn't even blink as he watched his subordinates being knocked away.
"Even if they are all dead, we still have to use their corpses to slow down the enemy!"
The biggest advantage of cavalry is their impact power. When they lose their speed, they have no advantage against spearmen.
If your horse spins in circles, I will stab you to death from afar!
Zhao Yong was right in front, stabbing the enemy to death with one shot and shouting: "Come forward!"
Around him, more than ten colleagues had fallen.
The spearmen behind silently stepped forward.
The fighting between the two sides quickly became intense.
"The enemy army is very fierce!"
Nan He said.
"Our army is even more fierce!" Yang Xuan was unmoved.
Many people are looking here... This is Huang Chunhui's designated successor, fighting in front of the entire Northern Xinjiang Army.
How is the condition?
The officers and soldiers of Chenzhou Army went forward one after another, and no one retreated. They used the spear array to slow down the enemy's speed.
The two sides entered a stalemate.
A competition of wills!
"good!"
Jiang Cunzhong praised: "Chen Zhoujun has been completely transformed in Zitai's hands."
Zhang Du and his Xuan Jiaqiu were also watching.
Huang Chunhui smiled, "How?"
Liao Jin nodded, "Take your time, the style of a general!"
Liu Qing and Yourong Yan said, "Young boy, you are getting sharper."
Huang Chunhui pointed to the left wing where Chen Zhoujun was, "That kid is not only sharp, look at him, he is eager to counterattack!"
As everyone watched, the two armies on the left were charging at each other, but Chenzhou's army had the upper hand. From time to time, sergeants rushed in and then withdrew.
On the battlefield, if you advance, you will be together, and if you retreat, they will be together.
"What a boy!" Huang Chunhui said happily: "The Chenzhou Army he trained can be a fierce warrior for me in Northern Xinjiang!"
Everyone could see that Chen Zhoujun was obviously more ferocious than the enemy in front of him.
Of course the enemy felt it too.
“Who’s on the right?”
the emperor asked.
Xiao Hua said: "Chen Fangli's subordinates."
The emperor was a little dissatisfied, "Lin Ya!"
Lin Ya knew that it was her turn. However, the emperor's men took the lead and his men replaced him without any regrets.
The emperor pointed at the right wing of his attack, "Penetrate it! I want to see that Yang dog!"
Lin Ya saluted, "It will be as your Majesty wishes!"
Lin Ya turned around and waved, "Attack!"
Lin Ya's subordinate is on board.
And they are all elite.
The emperor even saw more than ten masters under Lin Ya's command and got in!
Ordinary people's personal martial arts are useless, but practitioners are different.
Gather them together and open a gap, that's what they're used for.
"Your Majesty, Lin Ya's Yunshan Cavalry has also attacked."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Look at the overall situation."
The Yunshan Cavalry is Lin Ya's elite force at the bottom of the pack and will not be used easily. In this battle, he has tried his best.
Xiao Hua said: "How many fields and how many people will be needed to capture Northern Xinjiang? How much is lost in this battle, how much can be replenished after the war, and it will be stronger."
"What I value is not just the flowers and mountains, but also the scholars and craftsmen.
Strange to say, Daliao had studied the Central Plains for many years, but after all, it could not learn the relationship between people.
Those people in Daliao look gentle and gentle on weekdays, but when something happens, they immediately reveal their barbaric nature. They are not as good as them."
Xiao Hua smiled and said: "Your Majesty, why do you think so? The Liao Dynasty relied on barbarism to conquer the country it is today, and the gentle Tang Dynasty is now in decline. It seems that the country will not last long."
The emperor couldn't help but laugh.
Amidst the laughter, the evacuation rotation began at the front.
This was a normal rotation, and there was no warning in advance... Lin Ya's troops looked more like they were here for reinforcements.
But just as the enemy troops in front were withdrawing one by one, a group of cavalry rushed out of the Tang army's formation and sharply cut off the group of enemy troops behind them.
Suddenly, the enemy troops who were preparing to evacuate were in chaos.
"Press up!" Lin Ya roared, "Tell them to get out of the way!"
"Counterattack!" Yang Xuan lost no time in launching a counterattack.
The Tang army on the left went crazy and counterattacked in waves, cutting off the chaotic enemy troops and then swallowing them up.
"Idiot!" Lin Ya was furious and ordered his subordinates to attack from the center.
You hit yours, I'll hit mine!
This wave of assault worked.
Although the Chenzhou Army on the left wing was counterattacking, the Tang Army on the center and right wing still did not move. If they continued to advance, they would break away from the formation, and Lin Ya's left wing assault would be a fatal blow.
Immediately, the battle line stabilized.
The previous wave of enemy troops suffered heavy casualties and fled in panic.
Lin Ya's troops, who were preparing to take over, also suffered some losses. The key is that they lost the possibility of a surprise attack.
The Northern Xinjiang Army also suffered a lot of losses. Seeing his subordinates fall there one by one, Yang Xuan's eyes felt sad, and then he regained his composure.
The cavalry team returned. Under the banner, Huang Chunhui raised his hand towards Helian Feng from a distance.
Looks contemptuous!
"While I was fighting, you were still the prince!"
On the opposite side, the emperor said angrily: "Why the confusion?"
He noticed that Xiao Hua looked embarrassed for the first time, and even hesitated for a moment before saying: "Your Majesty, this is a surprise attack that Huang Chunhui has prepared for a long time."
The emperor was startled, "You mean, he had expected all this?"
Although it was embarrassing for Huang Chunhui to see through his arrangement, Xiao Hua still nodded with difficulty, "I thought that was it!"
"That sick tiger..."
The emperor seemed to see Huang Chunhui under the banner looking at him with disdain.
"He has been hiding his clumsiness!"
Someone said.
The emperor shook his head, "No, he has been waiting for me!"
