Although Brother Yelvxiu was proficient in bow and horse and had extraordinary martial arts, he was agile in the use of troops and often anticipated the enemy's advance and used strategies to defeat the enemy.
However, when fighting Yelu Dilie, Yang Ye was often able to escape his plans and lead his cavalry to appear in unexpected places, causing them considerable damage.
As a Khitan hero who became famous at a young age, he always had smooth sailing on the battlefield. Yang Ye's elusiveness caused him to miss many opportunities to pursue victory and expand his results.
Brother Yelu Xiu was on guard against Yang Ye, but he didn't let him take advantage.
But the other person is like a dog-skin plaster, sticking to you and biting you from time to time when you don't pay attention.
And you can't help but care, considering Yang Ye's ability, if he can't respond in time and stop his offensive, it is very likely that he will win more with less and make him a wise man in his life.
Brother Yelu Xiu knows very well that enemies like Yang Ye are the most terrifying, but he still can't see it now because Yang Ye and Yelu Dilie have no cooperation at all.
As long as Yang Ye was willing to cooperate with Yelu Dilie in fighting, he would never be able to fight so smoothly.
The defeat was Yelu Dilie's, but the victory belonged to Yang Ye.
"Stupid Yelu Dilie didn't realize the situation at all!"
Brother Yelvxiu thought of this and cursed.
Yang Ye's small lone army is not terrible, but if there is a strong regular army to attract his main force on the front line, the power of Yang Ye's surprise army will be doubled.
You have to find a way to keep him here.
Brother Yelvxiu's eyes were bright, he summoned his soldiers and made arrangements.
The cold wind is biting, and winter comes very early on the grassland.
Yang Ye crawled on the grass, like Voldemort, using the autumn weeds to hide his traces. His eyes were like a torch, looking at the enemy camp not far away.
It's dusk now, and it gets dark very early in the winter grassland.
Although it was dusk, the surroundings were already gray and it could get dark at any time.
The Khitan people in sight were setting up camp and preparing to rest.
Yang Ye looked at the stacks of large tents in the military camp in front of him, and secretly admired them in his heart. Just looking at the layout of the camp, you can see that the enemy general has extraordinary strategies.
He has always been highly skilled and daring, and is used to spying on enemy camps in person in unfamiliar terrain, looking for weaknesses to attack.
This time it was the same. Looking at the rear of the camp, Yang Ye couldn't help but narrow his eyes. There were densely piled up all kinds of siege equipment there.
"It's an opportunity."
Yang Ye made some plans in his mind and quietly retreated with a few soldiers to join his troops.
"Liang Dutou, gather all the kerosene and let's make a final fuss with him and give Brother Yelusiu a farewell gift."
Yang Ye had a smile on his face and his tone was full of confidence. His words could give the soldiers great confidence.
His style of leading troops is often to attack more with less, and the most important thing is morale. Therefore, he is very particular about this aspect, and he has the idea of victory in every word and deed.
Liang Dutou's name was Liang Chongzan, and he was from Yizhou.
Luo Youdu asked Yang Ye to form the Jingsai Army, and Liang Chongzan was the most outstanding martial artist among the conscripts.
Yang Ye promoted him as his deputy and served as the head of the Jingsai Army.
With the improvement of well-drilling technology, the imperial court's oil reserves were sufficient, and all armies were able to obtain certain reserves.
Oil has a wide range of uses. In addition to fighting, it can also be used for lighting and making fire for cooking.
When marching on the grassland, dry firewood and cow dung are often not available, so oil is the best fuel.
Therefore, Yang Ye led his troops outside and specifically required that every soldier must carry a bag of fierce fire oil.
The sky over the grassland was like an overturned inkstone, and the pitch-black night covered everything that glowed.
The entire grassland was a lifeless black.
Apart from the howling cold wind, there was no sign of life or life.
Only a chilling air permeated the world...
Yang Ye led three thousand Jingsai troops to march in the dark night, relying on the faint light of fire.
This is the black lantern commonly used by Yang Ye.
Under the cover of black cloth, the candlelight could only illuminate a little bit of the ground underfoot. For a team of three thousand people, there were very few lanterns. Most of the soldiers were marching on the same footstep as the robes in front of them.
This abominable way of marching did not cause any discomfort to the Jingsai Army, but it was something that was taken for granted.
In any army, the leader's style often affects the army's habits.
When Yang Ye trained the Jingsai Army, he also specially practiced night marching.
Moreover, the Jingsai Army is a special force and has the full support of Luo Youdu. The food is reasonably matched with meat and vegetables, which avoids night blindness and has a strong ability to fight at night.
Yang Ye relied on his excellent sense of direction to sneak into the Khitan military camp.
The night wind was moist and wild, blowing on my face like a knife.
"Oil and light the fire!"
Yang Ye gave the order in the dark.
The soldiers of the Jingsai Army skillfully poured heavy fire oil on the prepared torches.
As the flames ignited, a long string of torches formed a winding fire snake, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
"kill!"
The moment the flames ignited, Yang Ye shouted loudly and rushed towards the Khitan military camp with the Daguan Dao held high.
Khitan Dazhai.
Brother Yelvxiu was taking a short rest with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, sudden changes occur.
Brother Yelvxiu suddenly woke up, strode out of the camp, and looked towards the back camp.
In his opinion, Yang Ye was a lone wolf lurking in the darkness, who would jump out from some dark corner at any time and bite their throats.
If this lone wolf is not lured out, he will not be able to survive even if he retreats.
As the old saying goes, if you can't let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf.
Yang Ye's sense of smell cannot lure him into taking the bait without spending a certain amount of money.
The flaw was not that he revealed it deliberately, but that the siege equipment could not be piled up, and it occupied a huge area, making it difficult to defend.
If you really need to send heavy troops to defend, over time, the army will become exhausted.
Instead of defending all the way, it's better to use it to lure the enemy.
A ball of dazzling light exploded in the endless night, and then turned into a sky-high fire!
The rear camp in the distance instantly turned into a sea of fire, the harsh sounds of weapons clashing, and the shouts and screams of soldiers mixed together noisily.
The fish is hooked!
Brother Yelvxiu shouted loudly: "Che Jie Li, Chao Pu Shu, and Wuma Di, follow the original plan. Che Jie Li will face the enemy head on, Chao Pu Shu will attack from the flanks, and Wuma Di will go around to block Yang Ye's retreat."
As his order was issued, the Khitan middle camp and front camp immediately began to move.
Brother Yelvxiu did not wait for news in the middle army, but led his personal guards and approached the rear camp.
It was the crisp autumn season, and the torch soaked in strong oil was thrown on the wooden siege equipment and tents, burning very quickly.
Brother Yelvxiu looked at the scene of blazing fire in the distance, and his chest was burning, anxious and hot.
As long as Yang Ye can be captured, all losses will be worth it.
It would be even better if he could be surrendered to serve the Khitan.
With such a cavalryman who is good at attacking and cooperating with him, even if he faces Luo Youdu, he will not be afraid at all.
As we approached the back camp, the screams and the sound of gold and iron became louder and louder, and under the flickering fire, the scene gradually became clearer.
A majestic cavalry army launched wave after wave of fierce attacks in the rear camp.
They were divided into two teams in an orderly manner. One team held numerous torches high and set fires everywhere, while the other team started a hand-to-hand battle with the troops in Chexiuli between the fence and the military tent in the middle camp.
Brother Yelvxiu did not rush to join the battlefield, but watched the battle unfold from a distance.
Suddenly, Brother Yeluxiu's expression changed drastically and he shouted, "It's not good."
He found that Yang Ye's attack direction was somewhat abnormal. He did not take advantage of the victory and attack the middle camp, nor did he continue to strangle the rear camp. Instead, he attacked the weak and sparse right wing.
He wanted to break out of the encirclement, not create chaos.
Brother Yelu Xiu no longer hesitated and personally led his troops in the direction of Yang Ye's attack.
In the fierce fire, the Daguandao in Yang Ye's hand was flying in circles, chopping down the enemies in front of him like melons and vegetables.
Yang Ye is both wise and brave, and has extremely rich combat experience.
I made sudden attacks back and forth in the rear camp and didn't feel any problems.
But as soon as he came into contact with the reinforcements in Chexiuli, he realized something was wrong.
The reinforcements in the carriage were neatly dressed and were not in a hurry to fight.
It's most likely a game.
Although Yang Ye is good at riding and riding, he doesn't like to take risks.
This was a habit he had developed from playing chess with Hou Zhou all year round.
The size of the Northern Han Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Li Jun could fail a hundred times, but he could not fail once.
After the Battle of Gaoping, the Northern Han Dynasty was severely weakened and could not afford a major defeat.
When things go wrong, run away, never delay, and never fight forcefully.
"Send the order, the rear team is the front team, I will come to the rear and retreat!"
Yang Ye originally planned to break through the siege from the right wing, but Brother Yelvxiu's timely support further confirmed that the opponent was well prepared.
Without any hesitation, Yang Ye directly issued the order to retreat along the original route.
The Jingsai Army was well-trained. After hearing the order, they put down all affairs without hesitation and responded to Yang Ye's military order.
And Yang Ye was even more furious. Without thinking, without even saying hello to the soldiers behind him, he waved the Daguan sword and charged straight towards the strongest point of the enemy!
He was like a bolt of lightning, wedged bravely into the enemy group.
The heavy and sharp sword seemed like nothing in Yang Ye's hands.
The fierce Khitan warriors were like paper in front of this Yang Wudi. Wherever the sword passed, there was no enemy.
Yang Ye, the personal guard general, showed great power and fought with shouts one after another, beating Brother Yelvxiu's troops to a standstill.
Yang Ye was not fond of fighting and took the opportunity to retreat.
Brother Yelu Xiu had a very high level of command and quickly took control of the situation, but at this moment Yang Ye also escaped from his control.
As he was about to rush to the camp gate, suddenly the sound of killing from the side was loud.
Chao Pushu, who was blocking the flank attack, had already arrived on the battlefield and swarmed to intercept them.
In this critical situation, Yang Ye did not lose his mind. His thoughts were whirling, and there were two.
There must be enemy troops blocking this rear.
After judging the situation, Yang Ye made an instant decision. The enemy came from the flank, which meant that the flank was the safest.
As long as you can break through the opponent's flank, you can retreat calmly.
Yang Ye responded extremely quickly and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and charge in that direction!"
The bloody Guandao pointed at the place where Chao Pushu led his troops to kill. He tightened the sword in his hand and roared to urge the horse forward!
The more critical the moment, the general's every move will be an example for the entire army. Wherever the sword points, it will be the direction of the entire army's action!
With blood splattering, Yang Ye's cavalry was as powerful as a thousand people, and his sword was circling and flying, crushing several layers of people in front of him.
While he was killing enemies, he burst out laughing in his spare time.
Chao Pushu was also a fierce Khitan general. When he saw Yang Ye killing his soldiers like chickens and sheep, he was furious. The other party actually laughed arrogantly, as if he didn't notice them at all.
, unable to bear it any longer, he picked up his mace and rushed towards Yang Ye. The heavy mace hit Yang Ye head on.
Under the firelight, Yang Ye also discovered the existence of Chao Pu Shu.
In the blink of an eye, the other party had already rushed within two feet.
Yang Ye showed no signs of cowardice. He lifted the heavy Guandao in his hand as if it was light. He turned sideways and used the blade of the Guandao to lightly rub it. Then he struck and eliminated Chao Pu Shu's offensive.
When the two horses were crossing each other, Yang Ye swept the Chao Pu Shu under the horse with a sweep of the handle of his knife.
He did not care about Chao Pu Shu's life or death, but continued to rush forward, swinging his sword, and dozens of Khitan soldiers lay dead on the spot, as if they were made of paper.
Yang Ye didn't even look back and flew past.
As for Chao Pushu, Yang Ye was knocked off his horse and was thrown to pieces. Before he could react, the cavalry behind him stepped on his chest and trampled him to death.
Brother Yelvxiu felt bad when he saw that Yang Ye chose to break out in the direction of Chao Pu Shu.
Because of Chao Pu Shu's presence, Brother Yelu Xiu did not arrange any intercepting soldiers. Unexpectedly, Yang Ye would choose this place to break out.
Wu Madi's encirclement of the troops was in vain, and he only hoped that Chao Pu Shu could persist for a while and give him a chance to re-engage.
However, Yang Ye's bravery and agility exceeded his imagination, and the overall strength of the Jingsai Army was also beyond his expectation.
At this moment, he could only watch Yang Ye leave.
Looking at the mess on the ground, Brother Yelu Xiu had a trace of unwillingness in his eyes, but he quickly smiled and said: "Isn't Yang Wudi nothing more than this? Didn't he just run away? After this battle, they will definitely be unable to fight again.
Save yourself the pain of guarding against thieves for a hundred days."
Yang Ye left the battlefield and led his soldiers to continue marching ten miles westward. Only then did the soldiers rest and sent out sentries to count the number of people.
"Soldiers and horsemen, plus sentry soldiers, total 2,521 people."
Liang Chongzan's tone was a little low.
When Yang Ye heard this amount, he was slightly startled.
Before the war, the number of soldiers in the Quiet Cypriot Army was 3,118.
Since the establishment of the Jingsai Army, this is the first time that we have suffered such losses in dozens of battles, large and small.
Yang Ye was also quite uncomfortable, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and said: "Brothers will not sacrifice in vain... Compared with the loss, we have not lost at all."
He said, patting Liang Chongzan on the shoulder and going to visit the injured soldier.
He has been in battle for a long time and has seen many wounds from swords and guns. His method of stopping bleeding and bandaging is far better than that of ordinary doctors. He personally bandaged the wounds of injured soldiers.
After resting for a night, Yang Ye praised Liang Chong: "Send someone to inform Yelu Dilie that we attacked the Khitan army camp at night, burned their siege equipment, killed more than 4,000 enemies, and returned with a great victory. This time
The war is fought for them, so we have to make them happy."
Liang Chongzan was puzzled, but he did as he was told.
Yelu Dilie, who had already arrived in Yongxing City, heard about Yang Ye's glorious victory and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yang Wudi is a true hero! Come and prepare a banquet for Yang Wudi to wash away the dust!"
