The next morning, when Jiang Hanqing came to the big tent for a meeting, he found that several people who arrived yesterday had arrived. In addition to the useless Han Feilong, there was also one more Han Zhengtian who came overnight. At this moment, he was also standing in the tent with a swollen eye. Obviously, today we will decide the specific movements of Qiu Te's army in the future.
Han Yuexue asked at the beginning of the meeting: What do you think about what Mr. Jiang said yesterday?
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Xionglie said coldly: Your Majesty, I think we should not believe too much about a barbarian from Xia!
As soon as these words came out, the old men below looked at me, I looked at you, and looked at Han Yuexue again, lowered their heads and didn't say anything.
There were two people who were just about to speak, and they quickly lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Han Xionglie.
Jiang Hanqing thought to himself: What a Han Xiong Lie, he is indeed arrogant! Humph! I want to see how Han Yuexue dealt with you in the future!
Han Zhengtian couldn't help it at this time: Humph! My opinion is a little different from the Emperor's Emperor! I think what Mr. Jiang said is very reasonable!
Han Xionglie stared at Han Zhengtian with a fierce look: How can you trust others easily if the soldiers are fierce and dangerous?
Han Zhengtian looked disdainful, and didn't even look at Han Xionglie. He looked at the ceiling and said: I'm afraid that some people are talking about one thing, but they are thinking about one thing in their hearts!
Han Xionglie said furiously: Han Zhengtian! What do you mean?
Han Zhengtian turned his head, looked at Han Xionglie with anger, and said angrily: Hum! What do I mean? What can I mean? Everyone here knows that the emperor does not need to pretend to be stupid! Hum!
Han Xionglie sneered: OK! Good! Good, Han Zhengtian!
Turning around and bowing to Han Yuexue, Han Xionglie said: Your Majesty, you see Han Zhengtian, you are simply arrogant and domineering Your Majesty. It was really wise to send him to the rear army! Your Majesty, if you don’t punish such a stingy guy, what is the military discipline?
Han Yuexue said coldly: What the Emperor’s concerns are reasonable, but I think Mr. Jiang is really sincere in helping us. There is no need to be too careful about this. As for Zhengtian, offending the Emperor’s uncle should be punished. However, when it comes to employing people, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is difficult to get one general! Let him commit crimes and make meritorious service first!
Han Xiong Lie opened his eyes wide and waited for another
Han Yuexue said first: OK! This matter is over, there is no need to say more!
Han Xionglie naturally had nothing to say at this time, so he could only say: Yes!
The ministers didn't know the direction of the wind at this time, and immediately a white-haired old man stood up and said: Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Jiang said is really reasonable!
Your Majesty is wise, what Mr. Jiang said yesterday is really reasonable! ...For a moment, several old men expressed their agreement with Jiang Hanqing's statement yesterday and had no objection
Han Yuexue nodded with satisfaction and said: Not bad! I think so too! Mr. Jiang's arrival just made up for the fatal flaws of not knowing the reality of the Xia army! Now we can prepare for a decisive battle with the Xia army with confidence!
At this time, Jiang Hanqing glanced at Han Xionglie's eyes and stared at him with fierce eyes. Obviously, this guy was very dissatisfied with Jiang Hanqing.
Jiang Hanqing was secretly careful. It seems that Han Xionglie's problem is really troublesome if he wants to do a better job in Qiu Teguo.
In this case, the Queen made the decision and Qiu Teren finally accepted Jiang Hanqing's joining.
Now the two powerful forces unite for the common enemy
They will make history in the future
In the subsequent meeting, Jiang Hanqing introduced the detailed composition of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, the character of the main leading general and his military characteristics, the factional struggle within the troops, etc.
Jiang Hanqing said at the meeting: Although Li Jixing and Yang Sicong are both confidants of the emperor's old son, Li Jixing was born in the army after all, and he was promoted to the position of Imperial Marshal. From the heart, Li Jixing looked down on the emperor's eunuch Yang Sicong, and Yang Sicong himself understood this, so he generally tried to avoid Li Jixing's Eastern Expedition. Yang Sicong was very enthusiastic about this Eastern Expedition, because he urgently needed a great victory in the war against the enemy country to consolidate his position and create conditions for his master to promote him. Li Jixing knew that this war was not so easy to win, and he knew that even if he won, the emperor would only put the greatest contribution on Yang Sicong, so Li Jixing seemed not so enthusiastic about this expedition. Due to these reasons, as far as I know, the Imperial Eastern Expedition Army was divided into two large pieces shortly after leaving the capital.
There was about 150,000 people in front, which was Yang Sicong's army. He was so anxious to run to the front, on the one hand, to avoid Li Jixing from showing him his face; on the other hand, because he thought Qiu Te's army was easy to deal with and wanted to come and grab the credit. When I was rushing to join the Gui army, I saw Yang Sicong's army running forward without stopping! Li Jixing was happy to be idle. He took the remaining 250,000 people and walked slowly behind. According to my estimate, there was at least about two hundred miles of space between the two armies, which gave us enough time and space to attack Yang Sicong's army.
After Jiang Hanqing introduced some of the situations of the Imperial Expedition Army, everyone started a fierce discussion based on this.
Finally, it was decided to contact the Imperial Expeditionary Force within the territory of Xia State and try to defeat the morale and confidence of the Imperial Army.
The focus of the attack was of course on Yang Sicong's army that was far ahead.
Han Yuexue announced at the meeting that it would form a guerrilla army to be responsible for the rear work of the entire army and choose the opportunity to attack the Imperial Expedition Army severely.
This unit is commanded by Han Zhengtian, with the troops leading 20,000 heavy cavalry and 30,000 light cavalry. Jiang Hanqing assisted as a guest official from the side
Han Yuexue was still worried about Jiang Hanqing. She didn't know if he had the ability to command an army alone, nor did she know if he had enough ability to assist him in planning the entire army's operations.
After all, everything before was empty talk, which is far from practical work
This time he was sent to assist Han Zhengtian in the battle, which actually made Han Zhengtian take the opportunity to test the children of this aristocratic family and say how much this guy is
On the second day of November, the cold current swept south, and the north wind was like a knife, and the cold air was thrust
Mixed with drizzle, people suddenly feel the arrival of winter
Standing on a small hill, Jiang Hanqing and Han Zhengtian looked east side by side
Not far from the foot of the mountain is a north-south river called Qinyang River
The river is not very wide, and the two sides are only about forty feet away.
The river is shallow and the flow rate is not fast
Can walk by water
A bridge is set up on the river to communicate between the east and west sides of the Taiwan Straits
The Cavalry of the Qiute were crossing the river along the bridge and heading east
All ferries within twenty miles of the river have been confiscated by the Qiute cavalry, concentrated near the bridge deck, and can be listened to at any time.
Ten miles from the river to the east, it is the important town of Qinyang City in the eastern part of the empire.
From the river bank to Qinyang City is a plain about four to five miles wide from north to south. Standing by the river bank, you can see the towering walls and the outline of the city tower in Qinyang City.
At the north and south ends of this plain are endless hills, with lush trees on the mountain
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the surrounding terrain, Jiang Hanqing met Han Zhengtian: Brother Zhengtian, let’s go down to the river and take a look!
Everyone came to the Qinyang River, Jiang Hanqing got off the horse and reached into the water to tick up her hands.
The river water was icy and irritating, which made him feel a chill
Standing up, Jiang Hanqing turned around and asked Han Zhengtian: How far is the enemy army from us?
Han Zhengtian looked west and said: The spy came to report just now, and it was less than a day away! You will definitely be able to reach the west of this mountain tonight!
Jiang Hanqing blew hard, warming his hand that was frozen by the cold river water, and cursed: This ghost weather, it was a sunny day two days ago, and it became so cold today.
Jiang Hanqing said: Brother Zhengtian, maybe it will snow heavily in a few days! It will be much more difficult to fight at that time! If we want to attack the vanguard of the Empire, we may only have to decide in the two-day battle.
Han Zhengtian nodded and smiled: It seems! The young master is already confident about the upcoming battle?
Jiang Hanqing nodded and said: I mean I will teach Yang Sicong a lesson here! Brother Zhengtian, do you think it is feasible?
Han Zhengtian laughed and patted Jiang Hanqing on the shoulder and said: That's great! The so-called heroes' views are similar! That's it, it's here!
Jiang Hanqing pointed to the west of the mountain and said: Tonight, a team of cavalry was sent to ambush on the mountain. Yang Sicong's army arrived at the west of the mountain tonight. He would definitely not dare to cross the mountain overnight. We must camp in the west of the mountain. We will not move him tonight! Hehe!
After a smirk, Jiang Hanqing continued: Then when they are about to have breakfast tomorrow morning, they will attack! Then they will retreat immediately, attracting these guys who have not eaten to chase after them hungry and then tear down the bridge!
Han Zhengtian smiled and said: Then lure the enemy to trek through the cold river haha! Wonderful! ...The two people were like this and soon outlined a complete plan.
After the negotiation, everyone immediately took action
A trap was soon ready, and I was waiting for the prey to step on it.
In the evening of that day, Yang Sicong's 150,000 troops arrived at the foot of the mountain west of Qinyang River. Because it was dark and afraid of being ambushed across the mountain, Yang Sicong ordered to camp and rest on the spot and cross the mountain tomorrow morning
After getting settled, Yang Sicong called his generals to meet
Damn! Qiu Teren is such a fucking bastard. He doesn't fight with us in a single battle! He just knows how to escape! Fuck! He can't even see anyone. How can we fight this battle?
It's Ah! Damn it! It turns out that I heard how fierce the Qiu Te Ren marched! Damn, it turns out that he has slipped so fast! It's been more than a month since he set out from the capital at the end of September, and Qiu Te Ren insisted on meeting us! This... What's the point of this! ... At the beginning of the meeting, the generals under Yang Sicong complained just by word of mouth. They couldn't see the enemy for a month, and they were rushing to the road every day.
Let this group of generals who hope to fight as soon as possible and return to Beijing to receive rewards quickly after defeating Qiu Te Ren is very angry
Listening to the complaints of his generals, Yang Sicong himself felt upset.
When leaving Beijing, to be honest, Yang Sicong himself still had little clue about this war
He himself also understood that Qiu Teren was not as easy to deal with as the weak nomadic tribes he had encountered before.
For him who has not fought many battles, Qiu Teren is really enough to arouse his inner fear.
But a few days after he left Beijing, he received a report saying that the Qiu Te people had begun to withdraw their troops eastward.
After a while, I chased the east with no life
But Yang Sicong was surprised to find that no matter how fast he chased, Qiu Teren always retreated faster than him.
Sometimes, if it weren't for the traces left by the burning and killing of Qiu Te Ren, he would really think that there was no such thing as Qiu Te Ren invasion.
In this case, Yang Sicong began to feel like his soldiers, feeling that Qiu Te Ren was actually vulnerable. Before he had contacted the imperial army, he was already scared by the reputation of the imperial army and fled to death.
Unconsciously, Yang Sicong threw his fear of going to the sky
He began to feel that he was really a natural talent. If the troops he led were not considered the best in the world, I am afraid that no one in the world would dare to be the best.
Especially among the 150,000 troops he led, there were 50,000 members of the Imperial Army.
For such an emperor's personal guard force, in Yang Sicong's eyes, he is naturally the best choice for the world!
Yang Sicong often thinks in his mind recently: People often say that Yin Yufeng, Shi Yanying's legion is so powerful! That's just because their troops often win against the barbarians. Humph! What's so great about dealing with the barbarians! It's so great! I didn't know if I used to fool me! Haha! Speaking of which, they always fight against the barbarians. The "bloody battle" is like me. Once they go out, they scare Qiu Teren, who is famous for their bravery, and flee in the panic! Yin Yufeng, Shi Yanying has such a mighty power? Haha! If they are asked to fight against the Imperial Guards under my command, Humph! I don't believe that the two miscellaneous legions can defeat my royal guards, long live my royal guards!
Driven by this arrogant idea, Yang Sicong led his troops to travel desperately every day for the past month, hoping to catch up with Qiu Te's army as soon as possible
What he thought to himself was that as long as he caught up with Qiu Te Ren, he would have a big fight with them
These ignorant barbarians are naturally not the enemy of the imperial army he led
If you defeat them, you can go back to Beijing to receive a reward. The mountains of gold and silver are waiting for you to dig!
But after more than a month of travel, I haven't seen any shadow of Qiu Te Ren
Yang Sicong himself also felt it was inexplicable. Could it be that Qiu Teren was really frightened by himself and was defeated?
This idea just came to his mind and he scolded him back
No matter how useless Qiu Te Ren is, he will not be so cowardly
Listening to the comments of his soldiers, Yang Sicong began to murmur in his heart: Where did Qiu Teren go? What's going on? Alas!... I'm so anxious!
After complaining for a long time, the generals vented their complaints. They slowly stopped talking and all looked at their own landlords.
Yang Sicong, who was thinking hard, suddenly sensed the gaze of everyone, came to his senses, and coughed dryly: Don’t be impatient! The enemy is hiding from us like this now, which means that they are afraid of us! We should be happy!
After thinking about it, Yang Sicong continued: I know that everyone is eager to fight the enemy on the battlefield so that they can make military achievements and reward merits, make their parents honor and make their wife shine. But this kind of thing is not something that can be rushed! Everyone should rest assured that the battle will definitely be fought! I don’t believe that Qiu Teren can fly into the sky!
In order to strengthen the persuasiveness of his words, Yang Sicong raised his tone and said: Qiu Teren runs, let him run! If they want to run back to their nest, we will chase them to their nest and take them all in one fell swoop! Achieve great achievements that will never come true!
Seeing the head coach's energetic look, the generals in the tent were very excited, and they all fantasized about the grand occasion of returning to the National Day after breaking Qiu Te's nest in the future. They forgot about the fatigue of marching for several days.
While everyone was talking, a general sitting in the corner of the tent suddenly spoke: Grandmaster, are we a little far apart from Marshal Li's army? Isn't this a bit too... too... too rash?
There was silence in the tent immediately, and all eyes were turned to the person who was talking
Yang Sicong stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a long time, and then he said: How far is this... this... Marshal Li's troops from us?
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, one of them spoke out: It seems... there is... this... six or seven hundred miles away!
After hearing this, Yang Sicong murmured: Six, seven hundred miles Ah! It seems that it is a little far away! Six, seven hundred miles... This... you all have to tell us your opinion!
It seems to be a little farther away!
It's a little further away indeed!
It's just too far! This won't work!
Is it Ah! It is better to shorten the distance a little!
Everyone immediately started to talk. At this time, everyone realized that there was a large army behind them that had been forgotten.
I don't know when the two armies were already so far apart
Yang Sicong frowned and thought for a long time, knocked on the table and said: Okay! Don’t say anything more! Let me think about it!
The two armies are separated by six or seven hundred miles, which means that once an accident occurs in their own army, the army behind them will not have time to rescue him. After all, Yang Sicong is not a waste, and he immediately realized this.
Alas! I was just chasing Qiu Teren for a while, but I forgot to cooperate with friendly forces! Six or seven hundred miles are a little too far away! Yang Sicong, how could you make such a fool!
Yang Sicong cursed himself a few times in his heart, and immediately made up his mind to tentatively pursue Qiu Teren, waiting for Li Jixing's army to get closer before talking.
Everyone, starting tomorrow, we will tentatively pursue the martyr Qiu Te! Anyway, they can't escape, and at worst they can go to their homes to fight for a fall in love! We are here waiting for Li Shuai's army to catch up. Anyway, everyone has worked hard this month, so it's just a good time to take this opportunity to take a few days off!
As soon as these words were spoken, almost all the generals immediately agreed
I didn't think it was like that before I mentioned it. I really found that they were six or seven hundred miles away from my other army. They were still a little scared.
After all, no matter what, Qiu Teren is twice as many as the 150,000 of them!
What's more, the hard work of traveling during this period made lazy people who hadn't fought for a long time feel a little overwhelmed. Why not do it if you can breathe for two days and have a rest?
When the meeting ended, all the generals were thinking: Now it’s OK! You can have a good sleep tomorrow! Damn, the bones are almost broken these days!
But they didn't know that for many of them, tonight was the last time they could wake up after falling asleep.
After chasing him along the way, Yang Sicong had countless opportunities to stop and wait for Li Jixing's army, because he did not stop even if he was greedy for merit.
Even if he decided to stop the day before, he still had the opportunity to rewrite the history.
But he didn't stop, but came to the place where Qiu Teren set up a trap before he decided to stop moving forward.
He did not know that the decision of his and his army's destiny was already in the hands of others, and his order to stop moving forward would become meaningless
At this moment, Yang Sicong's troops were like an elk far away from his mother's arms. They had entered the lion's hunting range, but they felt that they were too far away from their mother and wanted to stop and wait for their mother's arrival. Unfortunately, the lion was about to pounce on it.
What's the use of stopping at this time?
Li Jixing also had countless opportunities to order the speed of the march and shorten the distance with the troops led by Yang Sicong, but due to his contempt and dissatisfaction with Yang Sicong, he did not do so either
History is determined by such things that seemed irrelevant at the time!
When the sun had just revealed half of its face on the eastern horizon, some soldiers in the Imperial Army began to get up
The soldiers on the night also began to relax their vigilance, and some even hid behind the pile of arrows and dozed off because they thought it was dawn and the time for the night attack had passed, so there was no need to worry too much about everything.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the east mountain, which made the sleepy sentries wake up suddenly
Looking up from the pile of arrows, they were frightened to find countless cavalry suddenly rushing down from the sparsely-wooded low hillside to the east. The bright armor and weapons were particularly dazzling under the rising sun.
The fast-moving war horse quickly narrowed the distance between the cavalry and the camp
A sentry finally woke up from the shock first and shouted: Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Alarm!
With his screams, the sentries issued an alarm. For a moment, the bells and the sound of cows resounded through the sky, breaking the silence of winter morning
The camp was in a mess, and a large group of soldiers hurriedly put on their armor and rushed out of the camp and rushed to the village wall outside the camp.
The soldiers responsible for night defense quickly set up their crossbows to prepare for the enemy's attack on the camp
Yang Sicong, who was sleeping soundly in the tent, jumped up quickly when he heard the alarm, and rushed out before he even put on his clothes.
He grabbed a soldier who was running by him hurriedly, and Yang Sicong asked: What kind of enemy is it?
The soldier who was busy reinforcing his companion did not have time to see who was holding him, broke free from Yang Sicong's pull and continued running forward, and ran away while running: You are fucking stupid! Of course, it's Qiu Te Ren Ah!
When Yang Sicong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
Qiu Teren? Why is this happening? Even if they chased them desperately, they couldn't find them! When they were about to not chase them, they appeared! Damn it!
Yang Sicong cursed in his heart
Yang Dashui and Qiu Teren sneak attacked!
A general came out from the side, looking panicked
Yang Sicong was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He slapped the poor guy in the face.
Damn it! What the hell is called! I know it! You still call me ah! Do you think I am deaf?
After getting angry, Yang Sicong shouted in his heart: Yang Sicong, you are the commander! Calm down! Be sure to be calm!
After adjusting his emotions a little, he recovered from the initial panic. Yang Sicong asked the attendant to bring his armor and ordered the entire army to gather and prepare to attack.
Just as the Imperial Army camp was bustling with chaos, Qiu Te had already rushed to a place within the range of the bow and arrow.
The crossbows of the Imperial Army on the Muzhai Wall have begun to be launched, but the sight is extremely poor. In the first round, the target is almost no hit.
Obviously, these imperial soldiers have not recovered from the initial panic.
The Qiute cavalry also began to fight back at this time, and the dense bows and arrows sprinkled on the imperial army's tent like raindrops, causing a large number of imperial soldiers on the village wall to fall down.
Among the arrows shot by the Qiute cavalry, in addition to ordinary arrows, there are also ignited rockets.
Whenever the rocket hits the wall and nails it to the wooden board, it will quickly ignite a large fire.
Several rockets even flew over the village wall and shot into the camp and lit the tent inside.
The Imperial soldiers on the village wall were in panic. While they were desperately shooting arrows, they were busy extinguishing the fire caused by the rockets.
At this moment, there was no longer any arrows shot by Qiu Teren.
One person was beaten down by an arrow, and the other person immediately rushed up, standing on the body of his comrades and continuing to fight back
The Qiu Te cavalry did not dare to approach the village wall too much, but just shuttled and fired arrows within the range of the bow and arrow
As the Imperial Army gradually stabilized, the soldiers' bow and arrow hit rate gradually increased
The Cavalry of Qiu Te kept getting caught in arrows and fell off the horse
Some cavalry were shot to death when they were shot, which was lucky; more people fell off the horse and died by the war horses behind them.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air, and the screams of the soldiers before their death echoed on the battlefield.
The drum of the imperial army was finally ringed, the drum sound was three long and two short, which was a signal of the gathering of the entire army.
After being awakened from sleep and wearing armor, he did not receive the order to fight. He could only fight anxious soldiers in the camp. When the drums sounded, they were gathering together in groups to discuss the sneak attack.
Hearing the drums, everyone rushed back to their tents to gather
Most people are very nervous. They are finally about to start the real battle. What is coming is finally here.
However, for many soldiers, at this time, they also felt a sense of relief because they could finally vent their desire to fight for too long. The well-trained imperial soldiers quickly lined up in the camp according to their respective ranks, especially the Imperial Guards acted more vigorously and vigorously.
After less than a stick of incense, the army was assembled
Yang Sicong turned over and rode on the imperial horse given to him by the emperor before leaving, urged the horse to walk to the open space in front of the army, and whispered loudly: Brothers! For the past month, the enemies we have been pursuing but have not yet won have finally appeared! Seize the opportunity and annihilate them! Your parents and wives are looking forward to your triumph at home! Take a fight, my warriors!
A thrilling speech was spoken by an eunuch in his disgusting and sharp voice. It sounded even more harsh and weird in this place where the battle clouds were covered.
Many soldiers want to laugh, but they can't. Who can laugh when facing the coming bloody battle?
When the Imperial Army began to gather in the camp, the Qiute cavalry who were flying outside the camp may have gradually stopped approaching the Imperial Army's tent because of the increasing casualties.
Suddenly, a sound of ox horns came from the mountain. Qiu Te's cavalry turned around and ran out of the range of the bow and arrow, rushed to the foot of the mountain to gather in a distance, and put on a stance to fight against the imperial army.
Squeak~dumb~!
The gate of the Imperial Barracks was pushed open, and a team of heavy cavalry rushed out from inside, arranged in an orderly row of five hundred steps in front of the barracks.
Then another team of archers ran out, stood behind the heavy cavalry, bent the bow and pointed the strings into the direction of Qiu Te's cavalry, and suppressed the formation feet.
After everything was ready, behind this sergeant, the imperial soldiers continued to drive out of the camp.
First, it was all heavy cavalry units, then archers, infantry, and finally light cavalry
In the open space in front of the camp, the soldiers quickly arranged into combat formations according to their usual training.
In the front of the center are heavy cavalry units, and the two wings are light cavalrymen who are good at rapid assaults.
In the middle, there is a square formation of infantry, with teams of archers mixed in the middle of the formation
This is the standard formation that the imperial army has spread across the world for six hundred years. There is almost no change. Everything is in a constant attitude towards change.
When the Imperial Army was setting up, the Qiute cavalry did not come up to do unnecessary harassment, but just watched quietly from a distance.
When the formation was arranged, Yang Sicong looked at the more than 10,000 Qiu Te light cavalry opposite and said to the left and right disdain: Is there only one unit in Qiu Te? Hehe! It's not enough for us to plug in our teeth!
A stern general couldn't help but say: Da Zheng, is Qiu Te's power a little too thin! I think... is it...
Before he could finish his words, Yang Sicong interrupted him impatiently and said: Qiu Te has been running away all the time! It is inevitable that he will escape! Maybe this group of people will still be lost and fall behind, and there is something to worry about when they hit us! What's more, as long as we fight steadily, we are afraid that the barbarian Qiu Te will be deceived?
There were two other generals who wanted to say something, but when they saw Yang Sicong's appearance, they hurriedly closed their open mouths and stopped saying a word.
Waving his hand, Yang Sicong ordered: Beat the drum! The whole army advances!
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
The deafening drum sounded
After hearing the drums, the heavy cavalry lined up in front of them first made movements. The cavalry gently clamped the horse's belly, and the war horses walked forward slowly.
Infantry and archers lined up in neat formations
The light cavalry on both wings also began to move. Their movement speed was slightly faster. The war horses trotted, forming crescent-shaped protrusions at both ends of the battle formation of the imperial army.
The huge formation of the entire imperial army began to move forward, and a concave formation pressed towards the ten thousand Qiute light cavalry, like a monster with a bloody mouth, about to devour a poor little animal
The long snake-like formations of Qiu Te cavalry lined up at the foot of the mountain, which seemed so thin and weak in front of the powerful imperial army, but they themselves seemed to be completely unaware of it.
In the face of the powerful pressure of the Imperial Army, they stood so steadily and calmly, as if they had no fear at all.
There was a cold smile on the corner of Yang Sicong's mouth, looking at the Qiu Te cavalry in the distance, like a lion who was about to tear his prey apart.
On the side of Qiu Te Ren, watching the imperial army set up its formation in front of the camp and began to advance, Han Zhengtian was secretly happy.
Yesterday, after discussing the combat plan with Jiang Hanqing, he hurriedly arranged his subordinates' tasks and came to the mountain early to command himself.
Because he and Jiang Hanqing both knew that whether the enemy luring action against Xia Guo’s army was successful this morning was the key to the victory or defeat of today’s battle.
If such an important thing is left to his hands, he will not be at ease no matter what, so he will come and direct it personally.
At this moment, seeing the main force of the Xia army attracted the enemy's main force and the initial results showed, he was naturally very excited.
Looking at the imperial army getting closer and closer, Han Zhengtian sneered a few times, turned to the deputy general beside him and said: Humph! It seems that the Xia army is really going to take the bait today! Hehe!
The deputy general said happily: Yes! It seems that the Xia army has fallen into our hands haha! The plan of the Grand Marshal and Young Master Jiang is indeed very clever!
Han Zhengtian shook his head and said: Don’t be too happy first. After all, the enemy has not really fallen into our trap. If you accidentally get the ducks away, you will have a supper.
Amid the laughter from the left and right, Han Zhengtian whispered: Okay! Men, let’s put the bait in full! Attack!
With a command, the Qiu Te cavalry, who had already arranged the assault formation, immediately rushed out like an arrow from the string.
Seeing the enemy rushing towards him, Yang Sicong waved his hand and the entire army immediately stopped advancing, waiting for the enemy to come to his front.
According to tradition, once the Qiute cavalry enters the range of the front archers, they will be greeted by overwhelming rain of arrows, and then the assault of the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guards arranged in the middle.
Seeing that Qiu Teren was about to rush into the range of the bow and arrow, they suddenly divided into two left and right teams, abandoning the central army of the imperial army, and killing the light cavalry on both wings.
Qiu Teren's unconventional behavior surprised Yang Sicong and asked: What tactic is Qiu Teren?
The generals on both sides responded to him naturally in a daze
Just when the generals of the central army were doing nothing, the Qiu Te's light cavalry had already penetrated into the two wings of the Xia army.
In front of Qiu Te's fierce light cavalry, the light cavalry team, which was mostly composed of local troops on both wings, soon became panic.
As soon as Fang Fang contacted, Qiu Te's cavalry tore a hole in the Xia cavalry.
These Xia cavalrymen who usually think they are brave, looked at the strange oil-colored patterns on their faces, with fierce eyes, gritted teeth, and murderous cavalrymen rushed towards them. They were so scared that they were out of their minds. The timid man immediately turned around and ran backwards
Those who stayed to resist could not stop two swords, and were killed by Qiu Te cavalry.
Seeing that the light cavalry under his command, who had a far superior number of people, were so embarrassed, Yang Sicong couldn't help but feel angry and said fiercely: Damn! The local army is really a group of waste!
Unexpectedly, the generals around him from the local area looked unhesitant. Yang Sicong roared angrily: Imperial Guard! Imperial Guard! Send me the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guard to attack! Defeat these damn Qiu Te barbarians!
The Imperial Guard heavy cavalry who received the order immediately dispatched, and the two 10,000 teams arranged on the left and right ends took action first.
Two teams of ten thousand people, each team of ten thousand people, each attacking the Qiute cavalry on the left and right wings of the Imperial Army.
But when I just saw the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guardians dispatched, the sound of Qiu Te's horn came from the hill occupied by Qiu Te's in the east.
This is Han Zhengtian who stayed on the mountain to see the overall situation. After seeing that the enemy's formation had been fully mobilized, he issued an order to withdraw troops.
When the Qiu Te cavalry, who was ravaging the Xia State light cavalry team heard the horn of the order to withdraw, he did not act in a slight battle. He immediately got rid of the entanglement of the Xia State cavalry and ran towards the hill to the east.
Seeing Qiu Teren running away after showing off his might in front of him, Yang Sicong was furious and kept insulting his officers, ordering the entire army to pursue Qiu Teren's defeated fugitives.
General! Just send a few cavalry troops to pursue them! Why do you have to attack the entire army?
Grand Marshal! Qiu Te is defeated but not in chaos. We cannot blindly pursue Ah! Be careful of being deceived!
Grandmaster! Our soldiers have not eaten breakfast yet, so they cannot chase Ah! ... All such admonitions are exchanged for Yang Sicong's even more vicious insults
Under the insistence of the eunuch commander who had lost his mind, the hungry imperial army pursued eastward and went
In front were cavalry running rapidly, behind were infantry running stumbled and painfully. The formation of the imperial army quickly became scattered.
The Qiute cavalry who was escaping in front was very quick. When the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guards who were chasing in front rushed to the top of the hill, they could just see that the Qiute cavalry had already rushed down the foot of the mountain and arrived at the Qinyang River and were ready to board the boat to cross the river.
How could the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Army give up such a good opportunity to pursue? Without waiting for the boss' order, the soldiers spontaneously urged their horses to run down the mountain.
When the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guard was about to reach the river, most of the Qiute cavalry had not crossed the river.
Seeing the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guard chasing, Han Zhengtian, who had already boarded the boat, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He gave a glancing to the deputy general beside him
The deputy general waved his hand vigorously, and according to the previous plan, Qiu Te's army immediately exclaimed. Those who had no time to board the boat did not care about the cold water of the river, immediately rode into the river and wade to the east bank and fled.
The ferry leaning on the shore immediately left the river bank and carried the Qiu Te people who had already boarded the boat toward the other shore
The Imperial cavalry who came to the riverside found that the only bridge crossing the river had been completely destroyed, and all the ferry boats were rowed to the other side by Qiu Teren.
The cavalry didn't know whether they should cross the river to pursue the river at this time, so they had to stay by the river for the time being and wait for the commander to arrive before talking.
When Yang Sicong crossed the mountain, he could see the scene where Qiu Te cavalry struggled in the river, fleeing like the other side of the river, while his cavalry stopped and watched on the shore.
Yang Sicong almost fainted on the spot and roared and ordered his men to cross the river and pursue the enemy as soon as possible.
The generals under his command hurriedly reported: "Master, the bridge on the river has been destroyed, and there is no ferry! You can only wade across the river!"
Yang Sicong, who felt that his subordinates were completely a group of waste, stared at the subordinate who reported to him and said: You idiots are really going to anger me! Then you just wade over and chase the enemy, isn't it enough? You will only miss the opportunity to fight there.
However, the river water is cold and the past is very hard for our army to wade through, and it may freeze the soldiers and horses!
The whip in Yang Sicong's hand slapped hard on his face: It's all nonsense! If Qiu Te Ren can pass, you can't pass? Stop talking! Tell them to cross the river quickly and make sure to wipe out the enemy army! By the way! Tell them to take down that city... Oh! By the way! Take down that Qinyang City and let them have dinner at that time!
No one dared to dissuade the eunuch commander in this furious state. Almost all the generals cursed this guy in their hearts: Fucking the eunuch, nothing military is different. Didn’t it start by licking the old man of the emperor? Fuck! Arrogant!
The cavalry who received the order dared to delay, and immediately jumped out of the Qinyang River and rushed to the other side.
And the infantry who worked hard to chase after him was even worse
I didn't have breakfast, but after running so far, these infantry could hardly bear it. However, under the strict order of the commander, I still had to jump into the cold river and swim to the other side.
For a moment, there were curses on the river bank
Fucking the pussy, do you want everyone to live? It’s really about to kill everyone!
Fuck me! I can't go down! I'm dead in the river, who will save me?
To be a fucking eunuch, why didn’t he get off the horse and run a long way and then go to the river to take a shower!
That's it! What a fucking eunuch, what a big deal! I'm quitting! ... The sound of curses came into Yang Sicong's ears, making his face turn pale
Under his side, some well-behaved people had secretly avoided the distance, for fear that he would get angry and find him to vent his anger.
Yang Sicong listened to the insults of the soldiers by the river and gritted his teeth: Draw personnel from the Imperial Guard and organize a supervising team! Those who were not far from the river will be executed on the spot!
His order was conveyed quickly, and the supervision team was quickly established and put into work in less than a stick of incense.
Under the coercion of the supervision team, the helpless soldiers had to jump into the waist-deep river and trek to the other side with difficulty.
For a moment, the river was full of imperial soldiers struggling to cross the river.
At the same time, the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guards who had already boarded the other shore were preparing to pursue the group of Qiute Cavalry who had just been defeated and fled, but were surprised to find that another Qiute Cavalry team with a much larger number appeared in front of him, with about 10,000 heavy cavalry and 10,000 light cavalry.
The earlier light cavalry team with more than 10,000 people also joined the team
The panicked imperial guards immediately arranged into combat formations to prepare to resist the enemy's assault, and quickly sent people to inform the relevant situation in the rear.
However, beyond the expectations of the Imperial Army cavalry, the Qiu Te's cavalry did not take advantage of the Imperial Army's strength to be dispersed and the scene was chaotic, but stayed there quietly watching the Imperial Army crossing the river.
It seems that everything in front of them has nothing to do with them
After receiving the report that the number of Qiu Te cavalry increased to 30,000, Yang Sicong, on the other side of the river, not only did not eat it all up, but became even more excited and told his subordinates proudly: OK! I was worried that I could not find the enemy! Unexpectedly, they came to the door by themselves! The more they came, the better! We annihilated them in one go, and then immediately returned to Beijing to ask for credit from His Majesty the Emperor! Haha!
He excitedly ordered the entire army to attack the river immediately and prepare for a battle with the enemy.
On the east bank of Qinyang River, Jiang Hanqing was leading the Qiu Te people's five thousand heavy cavalry, and the five thousand light cavalry hid in the woods on the hillside at the northern end of the plain.
Bai Yingjue leaned against him and asked: Qing! Why don’t we attack them while the enemy crossed the river?
Jiang Hanqing was now rubbing her nose against her temples and smelling the fragrance of her hair while rubbing her breasts with her hands.
Hearing the beauty in his arms ask him, he replied: Haha! If the enemy attacks them when crossing the river, they will naturally win easily! But you see, more than half of the troops they have not crossed the river are still more than half of us attack at this time. What should we do if these troops do? If we don’t want to let them go, then after a hard battle, we have to wade through the cold river to attack them. The number of people is not superior, and we may be overturned by the enemy! If we don’t fight them in the river, they will run away and attack us another day.
Suddenly, the force of playing with Bai Yingjue's breasts made her call softly. Jiang Hanqing proudly saw Qiu Teren on both sides of her envious gazes, and then continued: Now we wait for them to cross the river and they didn't have breakfast. They took a shower in the cold river water, and they also had to tremble in the cold wind to fight against Qiu Teren's cavalry. Plus our ambushing people on the south and north hills, do you think they are dead? Well!
At the end of the conversation, he suddenly slapped Bai Yingjue on the butt, making a clear sound
Bai Yingjue saw Qiu Te's maniac around him looking at her erotic appearance. The pleasure of humiliation stimulated her to take off her clothes immediately and accept Jiang Hanqing's training.
After about half an hour, Yang Sicong's troops finally crossed the Qinyang River and came to the east bank to line up.
During this period, the troops who had previously arrived ashore can be said to be hungry and cold and suffering!
They didn't even have breakfast in the early morning and followed Qiu Teren for a long distance to chase him here. They crossed the river in the middle and were really cold. When they climbed ashore, their clothes were still wet, so they were forced to stand in the cold wind and lined up to face Qiu Teren.
At this time, nearly half of the soldiers had begun to tremble.
Seeing that all the Xia army had arrived ashore, Han Zhengtian finally ordered an attack: The whole army advances!
With his orders, there was a burst of intense horns, and Qiu Teren immediately began to act.
Amid the sound of the horn, the Cavalry of the Chiuts sent into a dense formation and began to move towards the Imperial Army.
Seeing Qiu Te's cavalry approaching, Yang Sicong did not notice that the situation of his soldiers was very bad. Instead, he excitedly said to his followers: Okay! The enemy will finally not escape! Haha! Today our opportunity to create history is here, let us defeat them!
When the two armies were one mile apart, Qiu Te suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the Imperial Army with a release of the stance.
When only four hundred meters apart, the archers of the Imperial Army began to shoot arrows
A rain of arrows sprinkled from the imperial army, and the Qiute cavalry rushing in front immediately fell down.
But the people behind were not afraid at all and continued to run forward. The distance between them was no longer enough to fire a few more arrows.
The exhausted cavalry of the imperial army gritted their teeth and pulled out the weapons, let go of the reins of the war horses, and rushed out.
As the earth roared, two iron streams merged together, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen were tangled together in the narrow space.
Although the number of cavalry in the Imperial Army has a clear advantage, most people have become exhausted after a morning of torture.
Therefore, it cannot overwhelm the Qiu Te cavalry for a while, it just has a slight advantage.
For a moment, people were neighing on the horse, smoke and dust rolled, shouting and killing, and the sound of weapons hitting deafening
Looking at the bloody battle in front of him, Yang Sicong was surprised to find that his cavalry did not have as much advantage as he imagined.
He immediately ordered the infantry to prepare for attack, hoping to use the infantry to enter the battle and use the huge advantage of the number of people to completely defeat the resistance of the Qiute people.
At this moment, the horn of Qiu Te people came from the hill on the north side of the plain.
This is a signal that Jiang Hanqing seized the opportunity and ordered the two Qiu Te cavalry teams ambushed on the hills at both ends of the plain to attack.
With the sound of the horn, the two teams of Qiute cavalry killed from the hills on both sides.
The soldiers of the Imperial Army looked in horror as the two suddenly appeared Cavalry teams of the Qiute cavalry teams looked like they had a size of more than 10,000 people, both of which were light and half heavy.
Yang Sicong, who had already put all the cavalry into battle, was stunned for a moment, and could only watch the two cavalry teams break through the arrows shot from the imperial army from the north and south directions, and kill the generals came.
Yang Sicong's final effort was to use infantry to form a line of defense in vain to try to stop the enemy's attack.
But in front of these two elite cavalrymen of the Qiute people, the soldiers of the already exhausted imperial army only made a little symbolic resistance and soon collapsed!
Qiu Te cavalry shouted, easily breaking through the defensive front formed by the imperial army and infantry, and entering the formation to storm and kill.
The imperial army, which was fighting with the Qiute cavalry in front of the formation, immediately became depressed when they saw that the formation was broken through.
The first thing that collapsed was the light cavalry recruited from the local area, and their morale was completely disintegrated.
The cavalry who were unwilling to fight turned their horses to run towards the river bank one by one
Qiu Te cavalry chased after him, killing the soldiers of the empire like chopping melons and vegetables.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard who resisted tenaciously finally collapsed!
Under fatigue, hunger, cold and the crazy attacks of the enemy, they finally couldn't resist defeat and fell to the end.
All organized resistance of the imperial army disappeared, and all that was left was the desperate escape and the ruthless massacre of Qiu Teren.
Yang Sicong looked at everything in front of him, and the sudden reversal of the situation made him almost unable to believe it.
He rode his horse foolishly and stopped there, muttering: How could this happen! How could this happen? I failed? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could this happen?...
No one paid attention to him, even his servants and guards abandoned him and ran away on their own
Yang Sicong rode stupidly on the war horse, standing under the coach's flag without moving, as if he had lost consciousness
Countless defeated soldiers escaped from him, but he ignored them
A Qiu Te cavalry rushed over with a horse. When passing by Yang Sicong, he waved the scimitar in his hand and drew a beautiful arc in the air, and finally ended at Yang Sicong's neck.
brush!
With a sound, Yang Sicong's head left his body and flew into the air, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the hole in his neck.
His headless body fell heavily from his horse to the ground.
The fleeing imperial soldiers rushed to the cold Qinyang River and tried to wade to the other side.
There are countless people who trampled on each other along the way and died
Qiu Te cavalry followed the fleeing Imperial Sergeant to shoot arrows and knifes. Even those who surrendered were not lucky.
The cold Qinyang River has become the tomb of countless imperial soldiers on this cold winter day. The imperial soldiers who can escape Qinyang River alive are very small.
The fifth year of Zhenzhi in Taiping, the third day of November
The Imperial Expeditionary Force Yang Sicong's troops were completely wiped out
Less than 10,000 people survived, most of whom were soldiers guarding the village, who survived because they did not participate in the battle.
Almost all 140,000 troops who participated in the battle that day were killed by the Qinyang River, and the head coach Yang Sicong disappeared
This extremely painful defeat, a rare and painful defeat in the history of the Great Xia Empire, was later called the Qinyang Blood Slaughter War.
Han Yuexue asked at the beginning of the meeting: What do you think about what Mr. Jiang said yesterday?
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Xionglie said coldly: Your Majesty, I think we should not believe too much about a barbarian from Xia!
As soon as these words came out, the old men below looked at me, I looked at you, and looked at Han Yuexue again, lowered their heads and didn't say anything.
There were two people who were just about to speak, and they quickly lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Han Xionglie.
Jiang Hanqing thought to himself: What a Han Xiong Lie, he is indeed arrogant! Humph! I want to see how Han Yuexue dealt with you in the future!
Han Zhengtian couldn't help it at this time: Humph! My opinion is a little different from the Emperor's Emperor! I think what Mr. Jiang said is very reasonable!
Han Xionglie stared at Han Zhengtian with a fierce look: How can you trust others easily if the soldiers are fierce and dangerous?
Han Zhengtian looked disdainful, and didn't even look at Han Xionglie. He looked at the ceiling and said: I'm afraid that some people are talking about one thing, but they are thinking about one thing in their hearts!
Han Xionglie said furiously: Han Zhengtian! What do you mean?
Han Zhengtian turned his head, looked at Han Xionglie with anger, and said angrily: Hum! What do I mean? What can I mean? Everyone here knows that the emperor does not need to pretend to be stupid! Hum!
Han Xionglie sneered: OK! Good! Good, Han Zhengtian!
Turning around and bowing to Han Yuexue, Han Xionglie said: Your Majesty, you see Han Zhengtian, you are simply arrogant and domineering Your Majesty. It was really wise to send him to the rear army! Your Majesty, if you don’t punish such a stingy guy, what is the military discipline?
Han Yuexue said coldly: What the Emperor’s concerns are reasonable, but I think Mr. Jiang is really sincere in helping us. There is no need to be too careful about this. As for Zhengtian, offending the Emperor’s uncle should be punished. However, when it comes to employing people, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is difficult to get one general! Let him commit crimes and make meritorious service first!
Han Xiong Lie opened his eyes wide and waited for another
Han Yuexue said first: OK! This matter is over, there is no need to say more!
Han Xionglie naturally had nothing to say at this time, so he could only say: Yes!
The ministers didn't know the direction of the wind at this time, and immediately a white-haired old man stood up and said: Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Jiang said is really reasonable!
Your Majesty is wise, what Mr. Jiang said yesterday is really reasonable! ...For a moment, several old men expressed their agreement with Jiang Hanqing's statement yesterday and had no objection
Han Yuexue nodded with satisfaction and said: Not bad! I think so too! Mr. Jiang's arrival just made up for the fatal flaws of not knowing the reality of the Xia army! Now we can prepare for a decisive battle with the Xia army with confidence!
At this time, Jiang Hanqing glanced at Han Xionglie's eyes and stared at him with fierce eyes. Obviously, this guy was very dissatisfied with Jiang Hanqing.
Jiang Hanqing was secretly careful. It seems that Han Xionglie's problem is really troublesome if he wants to do a better job in Qiu Teguo.
In this case, the Queen made the decision and Qiu Teren finally accepted Jiang Hanqing's joining.
Now the two powerful forces unite for the common enemy
They will make history in the future
In the subsequent meeting, Jiang Hanqing introduced the detailed composition of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, the character of the main leading general and his military characteristics, the factional struggle within the troops, etc.
Jiang Hanqing said at the meeting: Although Li Jixing and Yang Sicong are both confidants of the emperor's old son, Li Jixing was born in the army after all, and he was promoted to the position of Imperial Marshal. From the heart, Li Jixing looked down on the emperor's eunuch Yang Sicong, and Yang Sicong himself understood this, so he generally tried to avoid Li Jixing's Eastern Expedition. Yang Sicong was very enthusiastic about this Eastern Expedition, because he urgently needed a great victory in the war against the enemy country to consolidate his position and create conditions for his master to promote him. Li Jixing knew that this war was not so easy to win, and he knew that even if he won, the emperor would only put the greatest contribution on Yang Sicong, so Li Jixing seemed not so enthusiastic about this expedition. Due to these reasons, as far as I know, the Imperial Eastern Expedition Army was divided into two large pieces shortly after leaving the capital.
There was about 150,000 people in front, which was Yang Sicong's army. He was so anxious to run to the front, on the one hand, to avoid Li Jixing from showing him his face; on the other hand, because he thought Qiu Te's army was easy to deal with and wanted to come and grab the credit. When I was rushing to join the Gui army, I saw Yang Sicong's army running forward without stopping! Li Jixing was happy to be idle. He took the remaining 250,000 people and walked slowly behind. According to my estimate, there was at least about two hundred miles of space between the two armies, which gave us enough time and space to attack Yang Sicong's army.
After Jiang Hanqing introduced some of the situations of the Imperial Expedition Army, everyone started a fierce discussion based on this.
Finally, it was decided to contact the Imperial Expeditionary Force within the territory of Xia State and try to defeat the morale and confidence of the Imperial Army.
The focus of the attack was of course on Yang Sicong's army that was far ahead.
Han Yuexue announced at the meeting that it would form a guerrilla army to be responsible for the rear work of the entire army and choose the opportunity to attack the Imperial Expedition Army severely.
This unit is commanded by Han Zhengtian, with the troops leading 20,000 heavy cavalry and 30,000 light cavalry. Jiang Hanqing assisted as a guest official from the side
Han Yuexue was still worried about Jiang Hanqing. She didn't know if he had the ability to command an army alone, nor did she know if he had enough ability to assist him in planning the entire army's operations.
After all, everything before was empty talk, which is far from practical work
This time he was sent to assist Han Zhengtian in the battle, which actually made Han Zhengtian take the opportunity to test the children of this aristocratic family and say how much this guy is
On the second day of November, the cold current swept south, and the north wind was like a knife, and the cold air was thrust
Mixed with drizzle, people suddenly feel the arrival of winter
Standing on a small hill, Jiang Hanqing and Han Zhengtian looked east side by side
Not far from the foot of the mountain is a north-south river called Qinyang River
The river is not very wide, and the two sides are only about forty feet away.
The river is shallow and the flow rate is not fast
Can walk by water
A bridge is set up on the river to communicate between the east and west sides of the Taiwan Straits
The Cavalry of the Qiute were crossing the river along the bridge and heading east
All ferries within twenty miles of the river have been confiscated by the Qiute cavalry, concentrated near the bridge deck, and can be listened to at any time.
Ten miles from the river to the east, it is the important town of Qinyang City in the eastern part of the empire.
From the river bank to Qinyang City is a plain about four to five miles wide from north to south. Standing by the river bank, you can see the towering walls and the outline of the city tower in Qinyang City.
At the north and south ends of this plain are endless hills, with lush trees on the mountain
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the surrounding terrain, Jiang Hanqing met Han Zhengtian: Brother Zhengtian, let’s go down to the river and take a look!
Everyone came to the Qinyang River, Jiang Hanqing got off the horse and reached into the water to tick up her hands.
The river water was icy and irritating, which made him feel a chill
Standing up, Jiang Hanqing turned around and asked Han Zhengtian: How far is the enemy army from us?
Han Zhengtian looked west and said: The spy came to report just now, and it was less than a day away! You will definitely be able to reach the west of this mountain tonight!
Jiang Hanqing blew hard, warming his hand that was frozen by the cold river water, and cursed: This ghost weather, it was a sunny day two days ago, and it became so cold today.
Jiang Hanqing said: Brother Zhengtian, maybe it will snow heavily in a few days! It will be much more difficult to fight at that time! If we want to attack the vanguard of the Empire, we may only have to decide in the two-day battle.
Han Zhengtian nodded and smiled: It seems! The young master is already confident about the upcoming battle?
Jiang Hanqing nodded and said: I mean I will teach Yang Sicong a lesson here! Brother Zhengtian, do you think it is feasible?
Han Zhengtian laughed and patted Jiang Hanqing on the shoulder and said: That's great! The so-called heroes' views are similar! That's it, it's here!
Jiang Hanqing pointed to the west of the mountain and said: Tonight, a team of cavalry was sent to ambush on the mountain. Yang Sicong's army arrived at the west of the mountain tonight. He would definitely not dare to cross the mountain overnight. We must camp in the west of the mountain. We will not move him tonight! Hehe!
After a smirk, Jiang Hanqing continued: Then when they are about to have breakfast tomorrow morning, they will attack! Then they will retreat immediately, attracting these guys who have not eaten to chase after them hungry and then tear down the bridge!
Han Zhengtian smiled and said: Then lure the enemy to trek through the cold river haha! Wonderful! ...The two people were like this and soon outlined a complete plan.
After the negotiation, everyone immediately took action
A trap was soon ready, and I was waiting for the prey to step on it.
In the evening of that day, Yang Sicong's 150,000 troops arrived at the foot of the mountain west of Qinyang River. Because it was dark and afraid of being ambushed across the mountain, Yang Sicong ordered to camp and rest on the spot and cross the mountain tomorrow morning
After getting settled, Yang Sicong called his generals to meet
Damn! Qiu Teren is such a fucking bastard. He doesn't fight with us in a single battle! He just knows how to escape! Fuck! He can't even see anyone. How can we fight this battle?
It's Ah! Damn it! It turns out that I heard how fierce the Qiu Te Ren marched! Damn, it turns out that he has slipped so fast! It's been more than a month since he set out from the capital at the end of September, and Qiu Te Ren insisted on meeting us! This... What's the point of this! ... At the beginning of the meeting, the generals under Yang Sicong complained just by word of mouth. They couldn't see the enemy for a month, and they were rushing to the road every day.
Let this group of generals who hope to fight as soon as possible and return to Beijing to receive rewards quickly after defeating Qiu Te Ren is very angry
Listening to the complaints of his generals, Yang Sicong himself felt upset.
When leaving Beijing, to be honest, Yang Sicong himself still had little clue about this war
He himself also understood that Qiu Teren was not as easy to deal with as the weak nomadic tribes he had encountered before.
For him who has not fought many battles, Qiu Teren is really enough to arouse his inner fear.
But a few days after he left Beijing, he received a report saying that the Qiu Te people had begun to withdraw their troops eastward.
After a while, I chased the east with no life
But Yang Sicong was surprised to find that no matter how fast he chased, Qiu Teren always retreated faster than him.
Sometimes, if it weren't for the traces left by the burning and killing of Qiu Te Ren, he would really think that there was no such thing as Qiu Te Ren invasion.
In this case, Yang Sicong began to feel like his soldiers, feeling that Qiu Te Ren was actually vulnerable. Before he had contacted the imperial army, he was already scared by the reputation of the imperial army and fled to death.
Unconsciously, Yang Sicong threw his fear of going to the sky
He began to feel that he was really a natural talent. If the troops he led were not considered the best in the world, I am afraid that no one in the world would dare to be the best.
Especially among the 150,000 troops he led, there were 50,000 members of the Imperial Army.
For such an emperor's personal guard force, in Yang Sicong's eyes, he is naturally the best choice for the world!
Yang Sicong often thinks in his mind recently: People often say that Yin Yufeng, Shi Yanying's legion is so powerful! That's just because their troops often win against the barbarians. Humph! What's so great about dealing with the barbarians! It's so great! I didn't know if I used to fool me! Haha! Speaking of which, they always fight against the barbarians. The "bloody battle" is like me. Once they go out, they scare Qiu Teren, who is famous for their bravery, and flee in the panic! Yin Yufeng, Shi Yanying has such a mighty power? Haha! If they are asked to fight against the Imperial Guards under my command, Humph! I don't believe that the two miscellaneous legions can defeat my royal guards, long live my royal guards!
Driven by this arrogant idea, Yang Sicong led his troops to travel desperately every day for the past month, hoping to catch up with Qiu Te's army as soon as possible
What he thought to himself was that as long as he caught up with Qiu Te Ren, he would have a big fight with them
These ignorant barbarians are naturally not the enemy of the imperial army he led
If you defeat them, you can go back to Beijing to receive a reward. The mountains of gold and silver are waiting for you to dig!
But after more than a month of travel, I haven't seen any shadow of Qiu Te Ren
Yang Sicong himself also felt it was inexplicable. Could it be that Qiu Teren was really frightened by himself and was defeated?
This idea just came to his mind and he scolded him back
No matter how useless Qiu Te Ren is, he will not be so cowardly
Listening to the comments of his soldiers, Yang Sicong began to murmur in his heart: Where did Qiu Teren go? What's going on? Alas!... I'm so anxious!
After complaining for a long time, the generals vented their complaints. They slowly stopped talking and all looked at their own landlords.
Yang Sicong, who was thinking hard, suddenly sensed the gaze of everyone, came to his senses, and coughed dryly: Don’t be impatient! The enemy is hiding from us like this now, which means that they are afraid of us! We should be happy!
After thinking about it, Yang Sicong continued: I know that everyone is eager to fight the enemy on the battlefield so that they can make military achievements and reward merits, make their parents honor and make their wife shine. But this kind of thing is not something that can be rushed! Everyone should rest assured that the battle will definitely be fought! I don’t believe that Qiu Teren can fly into the sky!
In order to strengthen the persuasiveness of his words, Yang Sicong raised his tone and said: Qiu Teren runs, let him run! If they want to run back to their nest, we will chase them to their nest and take them all in one fell swoop! Achieve great achievements that will never come true!
Seeing the head coach's energetic look, the generals in the tent were very excited, and they all fantasized about the grand occasion of returning to the National Day after breaking Qiu Te's nest in the future. They forgot about the fatigue of marching for several days.
While everyone was talking, a general sitting in the corner of the tent suddenly spoke: Grandmaster, are we a little far apart from Marshal Li's army? Isn't this a bit too... too... too rash?
There was silence in the tent immediately, and all eyes were turned to the person who was talking
Yang Sicong stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a long time, and then he said: How far is this... this... Marshal Li's troops from us?
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, one of them spoke out: It seems... there is... this... six or seven hundred miles away!
After hearing this, Yang Sicong murmured: Six, seven hundred miles Ah! It seems that it is a little far away! Six, seven hundred miles... This... you all have to tell us your opinion!
It seems to be a little farther away!
It's a little further away indeed!
It's just too far! This won't work!
Is it Ah! It is better to shorten the distance a little!
Everyone immediately started to talk. At this time, everyone realized that there was a large army behind them that had been forgotten.
I don't know when the two armies were already so far apart
Yang Sicong frowned and thought for a long time, knocked on the table and said: Okay! Don’t say anything more! Let me think about it!
The two armies are separated by six or seven hundred miles, which means that once an accident occurs in their own army, the army behind them will not have time to rescue him. After all, Yang Sicong is not a waste, and he immediately realized this.
Alas! I was just chasing Qiu Teren for a while, but I forgot to cooperate with friendly forces! Six or seven hundred miles are a little too far away! Yang Sicong, how could you make such a fool!
Yang Sicong cursed himself a few times in his heart, and immediately made up his mind to tentatively pursue Qiu Teren, waiting for Li Jixing's army to get closer before talking.
Everyone, starting tomorrow, we will tentatively pursue the martyr Qiu Te! Anyway, they can't escape, and at worst they can go to their homes to fight for a fall in love! We are here waiting for Li Shuai's army to catch up. Anyway, everyone has worked hard this month, so it's just a good time to take this opportunity to take a few days off!
As soon as these words were spoken, almost all the generals immediately agreed
I didn't think it was like that before I mentioned it. I really found that they were six or seven hundred miles away from my other army. They were still a little scared.
After all, no matter what, Qiu Teren is twice as many as the 150,000 of them!
What's more, the hard work of traveling during this period made lazy people who hadn't fought for a long time feel a little overwhelmed. Why not do it if you can breathe for two days and have a rest?
When the meeting ended, all the generals were thinking: Now it’s OK! You can have a good sleep tomorrow! Damn, the bones are almost broken these days!
But they didn't know that for many of them, tonight was the last time they could wake up after falling asleep.
After chasing him along the way, Yang Sicong had countless opportunities to stop and wait for Li Jixing's army, because he did not stop even if he was greedy for merit.
Even if he decided to stop the day before, he still had the opportunity to rewrite the history.
But he didn't stop, but came to the place where Qiu Teren set up a trap before he decided to stop moving forward.
He did not know that the decision of his and his army's destiny was already in the hands of others, and his order to stop moving forward would become meaningless
At this moment, Yang Sicong's troops were like an elk far away from his mother's arms. They had entered the lion's hunting range, but they felt that they were too far away from their mother and wanted to stop and wait for their mother's arrival. Unfortunately, the lion was about to pounce on it.
What's the use of stopping at this time?
Li Jixing also had countless opportunities to order the speed of the march and shorten the distance with the troops led by Yang Sicong, but due to his contempt and dissatisfaction with Yang Sicong, he did not do so either
History is determined by such things that seemed irrelevant at the time!
When the sun had just revealed half of its face on the eastern horizon, some soldiers in the Imperial Army began to get up
The soldiers on the night also began to relax their vigilance, and some even hid behind the pile of arrows and dozed off because they thought it was dawn and the time for the night attack had passed, so there was no need to worry too much about everything.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the east mountain, which made the sleepy sentries wake up suddenly
Looking up from the pile of arrows, they were frightened to find countless cavalry suddenly rushing down from the sparsely-wooded low hillside to the east. The bright armor and weapons were particularly dazzling under the rising sun.
The fast-moving war horse quickly narrowed the distance between the cavalry and the camp
A sentry finally woke up from the shock first and shouted: Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Alarm!
With his screams, the sentries issued an alarm. For a moment, the bells and the sound of cows resounded through the sky, breaking the silence of winter morning
The camp was in a mess, and a large group of soldiers hurriedly put on their armor and rushed out of the camp and rushed to the village wall outside the camp.
The soldiers responsible for night defense quickly set up their crossbows to prepare for the enemy's attack on the camp
Yang Sicong, who was sleeping soundly in the tent, jumped up quickly when he heard the alarm, and rushed out before he even put on his clothes.
He grabbed a soldier who was running by him hurriedly, and Yang Sicong asked: What kind of enemy is it?
The soldier who was busy reinforcing his companion did not have time to see who was holding him, broke free from Yang Sicong's pull and continued running forward, and ran away while running: You are fucking stupid! Of course, it's Qiu Te Ren Ah!
When Yang Sicong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
Qiu Teren? Why is this happening? Even if they chased them desperately, they couldn't find them! When they were about to not chase them, they appeared! Damn it!
Yang Sicong cursed in his heart
Yang Dashui and Qiu Teren sneak attacked!
A general came out from the side, looking panicked
Yang Sicong was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He slapped the poor guy in the face.
Damn it! What the hell is called! I know it! You still call me ah! Do you think I am deaf?
After getting angry, Yang Sicong shouted in his heart: Yang Sicong, you are the commander! Calm down! Be sure to be calm!
After adjusting his emotions a little, he recovered from the initial panic. Yang Sicong asked the attendant to bring his armor and ordered the entire army to gather and prepare to attack.
Just as the Imperial Army camp was bustling with chaos, Qiu Te had already rushed to a place within the range of the bow and arrow.
The crossbows of the Imperial Army on the Muzhai Wall have begun to be launched, but the sight is extremely poor. In the first round, the target is almost no hit.
Obviously, these imperial soldiers have not recovered from the initial panic.
The Qiute cavalry also began to fight back at this time, and the dense bows and arrows sprinkled on the imperial army's tent like raindrops, causing a large number of imperial soldiers on the village wall to fall down.
Among the arrows shot by the Qiute cavalry, in addition to ordinary arrows, there are also ignited rockets.
Whenever the rocket hits the wall and nails it to the wooden board, it will quickly ignite a large fire.
Several rockets even flew over the village wall and shot into the camp and lit the tent inside.
The Imperial soldiers on the village wall were in panic. While they were desperately shooting arrows, they were busy extinguishing the fire caused by the rockets.
At this moment, there was no longer any arrows shot by Qiu Teren.
One person was beaten down by an arrow, and the other person immediately rushed up, standing on the body of his comrades and continuing to fight back
The Qiu Te cavalry did not dare to approach the village wall too much, but just shuttled and fired arrows within the range of the bow and arrow
As the Imperial Army gradually stabilized, the soldiers' bow and arrow hit rate gradually increased
The Cavalry of Qiu Te kept getting caught in arrows and fell off the horse
Some cavalry were shot to death when they were shot, which was lucky; more people fell off the horse and died by the war horses behind them.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air, and the screams of the soldiers before their death echoed on the battlefield.
The drum of the imperial army was finally ringed, the drum sound was three long and two short, which was a signal of the gathering of the entire army.
After being awakened from sleep and wearing armor, he did not receive the order to fight. He could only fight anxious soldiers in the camp. When the drums sounded, they were gathering together in groups to discuss the sneak attack.
Hearing the drums, everyone rushed back to their tents to gather
Most people are very nervous. They are finally about to start the real battle. What is coming is finally here.
However, for many soldiers, at this time, they also felt a sense of relief because they could finally vent their desire to fight for too long. The well-trained imperial soldiers quickly lined up in the camp according to their respective ranks, especially the Imperial Guards acted more vigorously and vigorously.
After less than a stick of incense, the army was assembled
Yang Sicong turned over and rode on the imperial horse given to him by the emperor before leaving, urged the horse to walk to the open space in front of the army, and whispered loudly: Brothers! For the past month, the enemies we have been pursuing but have not yet won have finally appeared! Seize the opportunity and annihilate them! Your parents and wives are looking forward to your triumph at home! Take a fight, my warriors!
A thrilling speech was spoken by an eunuch in his disgusting and sharp voice. It sounded even more harsh and weird in this place where the battle clouds were covered.
Many soldiers want to laugh, but they can't. Who can laugh when facing the coming bloody battle?
When the Imperial Army began to gather in the camp, the Qiute cavalry who were flying outside the camp may have gradually stopped approaching the Imperial Army's tent because of the increasing casualties.
Suddenly, a sound of ox horns came from the mountain. Qiu Te's cavalry turned around and ran out of the range of the bow and arrow, rushed to the foot of the mountain to gather in a distance, and put on a stance to fight against the imperial army.
Squeak~dumb~!
The gate of the Imperial Barracks was pushed open, and a team of heavy cavalry rushed out from inside, arranged in an orderly row of five hundred steps in front of the barracks.
Then another team of archers ran out, stood behind the heavy cavalry, bent the bow and pointed the strings into the direction of Qiu Te's cavalry, and suppressed the formation feet.
After everything was ready, behind this sergeant, the imperial soldiers continued to drive out of the camp.
First, it was all heavy cavalry units, then archers, infantry, and finally light cavalry
In the open space in front of the camp, the soldiers quickly arranged into combat formations according to their usual training.
In the front of the center are heavy cavalry units, and the two wings are light cavalrymen who are good at rapid assaults.
In the middle, there is a square formation of infantry, with teams of archers mixed in the middle of the formation
This is the standard formation that the imperial army has spread across the world for six hundred years. There is almost no change. Everything is in a constant attitude towards change.
When the Imperial Army was setting up, the Qiute cavalry did not come up to do unnecessary harassment, but just watched quietly from a distance.
When the formation was arranged, Yang Sicong looked at the more than 10,000 Qiu Te light cavalry opposite and said to the left and right disdain: Is there only one unit in Qiu Te? Hehe! It's not enough for us to plug in our teeth!
A stern general couldn't help but say: Da Zheng, is Qiu Te's power a little too thin! I think... is it...
Before he could finish his words, Yang Sicong interrupted him impatiently and said: Qiu Te has been running away all the time! It is inevitable that he will escape! Maybe this group of people will still be lost and fall behind, and there is something to worry about when they hit us! What's more, as long as we fight steadily, we are afraid that the barbarian Qiu Te will be deceived?
There were two other generals who wanted to say something, but when they saw Yang Sicong's appearance, they hurriedly closed their open mouths and stopped saying a word.
Waving his hand, Yang Sicong ordered: Beat the drum! The whole army advances!
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
The deafening drum sounded
After hearing the drums, the heavy cavalry lined up in front of them first made movements. The cavalry gently clamped the horse's belly, and the war horses walked forward slowly.
Infantry and archers lined up in neat formations
The light cavalry on both wings also began to move. Their movement speed was slightly faster. The war horses trotted, forming crescent-shaped protrusions at both ends of the battle formation of the imperial army.
The huge formation of the entire imperial army began to move forward, and a concave formation pressed towards the ten thousand Qiute light cavalry, like a monster with a bloody mouth, about to devour a poor little animal
The long snake-like formations of Qiu Te cavalry lined up at the foot of the mountain, which seemed so thin and weak in front of the powerful imperial army, but they themselves seemed to be completely unaware of it.
In the face of the powerful pressure of the Imperial Army, they stood so steadily and calmly, as if they had no fear at all.
There was a cold smile on the corner of Yang Sicong's mouth, looking at the Qiu Te cavalry in the distance, like a lion who was about to tear his prey apart.
On the side of Qiu Te Ren, watching the imperial army set up its formation in front of the camp and began to advance, Han Zhengtian was secretly happy.
Yesterday, after discussing the combat plan with Jiang Hanqing, he hurriedly arranged his subordinates' tasks and came to the mountain early to command himself.
Because he and Jiang Hanqing both knew that whether the enemy luring action against Xia Guo’s army was successful this morning was the key to the victory or defeat of today’s battle.
If such an important thing is left to his hands, he will not be at ease no matter what, so he will come and direct it personally.
At this moment, seeing the main force of the Xia army attracted the enemy's main force and the initial results showed, he was naturally very excited.
Looking at the imperial army getting closer and closer, Han Zhengtian sneered a few times, turned to the deputy general beside him and said: Humph! It seems that the Xia army is really going to take the bait today! Hehe!
The deputy general said happily: Yes! It seems that the Xia army has fallen into our hands haha! The plan of the Grand Marshal and Young Master Jiang is indeed very clever!
Han Zhengtian shook his head and said: Don’t be too happy first. After all, the enemy has not really fallen into our trap. If you accidentally get the ducks away, you will have a supper.
Amid the laughter from the left and right, Han Zhengtian whispered: Okay! Men, let’s put the bait in full! Attack!
With a command, the Qiu Te cavalry, who had already arranged the assault formation, immediately rushed out like an arrow from the string.
Seeing the enemy rushing towards him, Yang Sicong waved his hand and the entire army immediately stopped advancing, waiting for the enemy to come to his front.
According to tradition, once the Qiute cavalry enters the range of the front archers, they will be greeted by overwhelming rain of arrows, and then the assault of the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guards arranged in the middle.
Seeing that Qiu Teren was about to rush into the range of the bow and arrow, they suddenly divided into two left and right teams, abandoning the central army of the imperial army, and killing the light cavalry on both wings.
Qiu Teren's unconventional behavior surprised Yang Sicong and asked: What tactic is Qiu Teren?
The generals on both sides responded to him naturally in a daze
Just when the generals of the central army were doing nothing, the Qiu Te's light cavalry had already penetrated into the two wings of the Xia army.
In front of Qiu Te's fierce light cavalry, the light cavalry team, which was mostly composed of local troops on both wings, soon became panic.
As soon as Fang Fang contacted, Qiu Te's cavalry tore a hole in the Xia cavalry.
These Xia cavalrymen who usually think they are brave, looked at the strange oil-colored patterns on their faces, with fierce eyes, gritted teeth, and murderous cavalrymen rushed towards them. They were so scared that they were out of their minds. The timid man immediately turned around and ran backwards
Those who stayed to resist could not stop two swords, and were killed by Qiu Te cavalry.
Seeing that the light cavalry under his command, who had a far superior number of people, were so embarrassed, Yang Sicong couldn't help but feel angry and said fiercely: Damn! The local army is really a group of waste!
Unexpectedly, the generals around him from the local area looked unhesitant. Yang Sicong roared angrily: Imperial Guard! Imperial Guard! Send me the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guard to attack! Defeat these damn Qiu Te barbarians!
The Imperial Guard heavy cavalry who received the order immediately dispatched, and the two 10,000 teams arranged on the left and right ends took action first.
Two teams of ten thousand people, each team of ten thousand people, each attacking the Qiute cavalry on the left and right wings of the Imperial Army.
But when I just saw the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guardians dispatched, the sound of Qiu Te's horn came from the hill occupied by Qiu Te's in the east.
This is Han Zhengtian who stayed on the mountain to see the overall situation. After seeing that the enemy's formation had been fully mobilized, he issued an order to withdraw troops.
When the Qiu Te cavalry, who was ravaging the Xia State light cavalry team heard the horn of the order to withdraw, he did not act in a slight battle. He immediately got rid of the entanglement of the Xia State cavalry and ran towards the hill to the east.
Seeing Qiu Teren running away after showing off his might in front of him, Yang Sicong was furious and kept insulting his officers, ordering the entire army to pursue Qiu Teren's defeated fugitives.
General! Just send a few cavalry troops to pursue them! Why do you have to attack the entire army?
Grand Marshal! Qiu Te is defeated but not in chaos. We cannot blindly pursue Ah! Be careful of being deceived!
Grandmaster! Our soldiers have not eaten breakfast yet, so they cannot chase Ah! ... All such admonitions are exchanged for Yang Sicong's even more vicious insults
Under the insistence of the eunuch commander who had lost his mind, the hungry imperial army pursued eastward and went
In front were cavalry running rapidly, behind were infantry running stumbled and painfully. The formation of the imperial army quickly became scattered.
The Qiute cavalry who was escaping in front was very quick. When the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guards who were chasing in front rushed to the top of the hill, they could just see that the Qiute cavalry had already rushed down the foot of the mountain and arrived at the Qinyang River and were ready to board the boat to cross the river.
How could the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Army give up such a good opportunity to pursue? Without waiting for the boss' order, the soldiers spontaneously urged their horses to run down the mountain.
When the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guard was about to reach the river, most of the Qiute cavalry had not crossed the river.
Seeing the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guard chasing, Han Zhengtian, who had already boarded the boat, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He gave a glancing to the deputy general beside him
The deputy general waved his hand vigorously, and according to the previous plan, Qiu Te's army immediately exclaimed. Those who had no time to board the boat did not care about the cold water of the river, immediately rode into the river and wade to the east bank and fled.
The ferry leaning on the shore immediately left the river bank and carried the Qiu Te people who had already boarded the boat toward the other shore
The Imperial cavalry who came to the riverside found that the only bridge crossing the river had been completely destroyed, and all the ferry boats were rowed to the other side by Qiu Teren.
The cavalry didn't know whether they should cross the river to pursue the river at this time, so they had to stay by the river for the time being and wait for the commander to arrive before talking.
When Yang Sicong crossed the mountain, he could see the scene where Qiu Te cavalry struggled in the river, fleeing like the other side of the river, while his cavalry stopped and watched on the shore.
Yang Sicong almost fainted on the spot and roared and ordered his men to cross the river and pursue the enemy as soon as possible.
The generals under his command hurriedly reported: "Master, the bridge on the river has been destroyed, and there is no ferry! You can only wade across the river!"
Yang Sicong, who felt that his subordinates were completely a group of waste, stared at the subordinate who reported to him and said: You idiots are really going to anger me! Then you just wade over and chase the enemy, isn't it enough? You will only miss the opportunity to fight there.
However, the river water is cold and the past is very hard for our army to wade through, and it may freeze the soldiers and horses!
The whip in Yang Sicong's hand slapped hard on his face: It's all nonsense! If Qiu Te Ren can pass, you can't pass? Stop talking! Tell them to cross the river quickly and make sure to wipe out the enemy army! By the way! Tell them to take down that city... Oh! By the way! Take down that Qinyang City and let them have dinner at that time!
No one dared to dissuade the eunuch commander in this furious state. Almost all the generals cursed this guy in their hearts: Fucking the eunuch, nothing military is different. Didn’t it start by licking the old man of the emperor? Fuck! Arrogant!
The cavalry who received the order dared to delay, and immediately jumped out of the Qinyang River and rushed to the other side.
And the infantry who worked hard to chase after him was even worse
I didn't have breakfast, but after running so far, these infantry could hardly bear it. However, under the strict order of the commander, I still had to jump into the cold river and swim to the other side.
For a moment, there were curses on the river bank
Fucking the pussy, do you want everyone to live? It’s really about to kill everyone!
Fuck me! I can't go down! I'm dead in the river, who will save me?
To be a fucking eunuch, why didn’t he get off the horse and run a long way and then go to the river to take a shower!
That's it! What a fucking eunuch, what a big deal! I'm quitting! ... The sound of curses came into Yang Sicong's ears, making his face turn pale
Under his side, some well-behaved people had secretly avoided the distance, for fear that he would get angry and find him to vent his anger.
Yang Sicong listened to the insults of the soldiers by the river and gritted his teeth: Draw personnel from the Imperial Guard and organize a supervising team! Those who were not far from the river will be executed on the spot!
His order was conveyed quickly, and the supervision team was quickly established and put into work in less than a stick of incense.
Under the coercion of the supervision team, the helpless soldiers had to jump into the waist-deep river and trek to the other side with difficulty.
For a moment, the river was full of imperial soldiers struggling to cross the river.
At the same time, the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guards who had already boarded the other shore were preparing to pursue the group of Qiute Cavalry who had just been defeated and fled, but were surprised to find that another Qiute Cavalry team with a much larger number appeared in front of him, with about 10,000 heavy cavalry and 10,000 light cavalry.
The earlier light cavalry team with more than 10,000 people also joined the team
The panicked imperial guards immediately arranged into combat formations to prepare to resist the enemy's assault, and quickly sent people to inform the relevant situation in the rear.
However, beyond the expectations of the Imperial Army cavalry, the Qiu Te's cavalry did not take advantage of the Imperial Army's strength to be dispersed and the scene was chaotic, but stayed there quietly watching the Imperial Army crossing the river.
It seems that everything in front of them has nothing to do with them
After receiving the report that the number of Qiu Te cavalry increased to 30,000, Yang Sicong, on the other side of the river, not only did not eat it all up, but became even more excited and told his subordinates proudly: OK! I was worried that I could not find the enemy! Unexpectedly, they came to the door by themselves! The more they came, the better! We annihilated them in one go, and then immediately returned to Beijing to ask for credit from His Majesty the Emperor! Haha!
He excitedly ordered the entire army to attack the river immediately and prepare for a battle with the enemy.
On the east bank of Qinyang River, Jiang Hanqing was leading the Qiu Te people's five thousand heavy cavalry, and the five thousand light cavalry hid in the woods on the hillside at the northern end of the plain.
Bai Yingjue leaned against him and asked: Qing! Why don’t we attack them while the enemy crossed the river?
Jiang Hanqing was now rubbing her nose against her temples and smelling the fragrance of her hair while rubbing her breasts with her hands.
Hearing the beauty in his arms ask him, he replied: Haha! If the enemy attacks them when crossing the river, they will naturally win easily! But you see, more than half of the troops they have not crossed the river are still more than half of us attack at this time. What should we do if these troops do? If we don’t want to let them go, then after a hard battle, we have to wade through the cold river to attack them. The number of people is not superior, and we may be overturned by the enemy! If we don’t fight them in the river, they will run away and attack us another day.
Suddenly, the force of playing with Bai Yingjue's breasts made her call softly. Jiang Hanqing proudly saw Qiu Teren on both sides of her envious gazes, and then continued: Now we wait for them to cross the river and they didn't have breakfast. They took a shower in the cold river water, and they also had to tremble in the cold wind to fight against Qiu Teren's cavalry. Plus our ambushing people on the south and north hills, do you think they are dead? Well!
At the end of the conversation, he suddenly slapped Bai Yingjue on the butt, making a clear sound
Bai Yingjue saw Qiu Te's maniac around him looking at her erotic appearance. The pleasure of humiliation stimulated her to take off her clothes immediately and accept Jiang Hanqing's training.
After about half an hour, Yang Sicong's troops finally crossed the Qinyang River and came to the east bank to line up.
During this period, the troops who had previously arrived ashore can be said to be hungry and cold and suffering!
They didn't even have breakfast in the early morning and followed Qiu Teren for a long distance to chase him here. They crossed the river in the middle and were really cold. When they climbed ashore, their clothes were still wet, so they were forced to stand in the cold wind and lined up to face Qiu Teren.
At this time, nearly half of the soldiers had begun to tremble.
Seeing that all the Xia army had arrived ashore, Han Zhengtian finally ordered an attack: The whole army advances!
With his orders, there was a burst of intense horns, and Qiu Teren immediately began to act.
Amid the sound of the horn, the Cavalry of the Chiuts sent into a dense formation and began to move towards the Imperial Army.
Seeing Qiu Te's cavalry approaching, Yang Sicong did not notice that the situation of his soldiers was very bad. Instead, he excitedly said to his followers: Okay! The enemy will finally not escape! Haha! Today our opportunity to create history is here, let us defeat them!
When the two armies were one mile apart, Qiu Te suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the Imperial Army with a release of the stance.
When only four hundred meters apart, the archers of the Imperial Army began to shoot arrows
A rain of arrows sprinkled from the imperial army, and the Qiute cavalry rushing in front immediately fell down.
But the people behind were not afraid at all and continued to run forward. The distance between them was no longer enough to fire a few more arrows.
The exhausted cavalry of the imperial army gritted their teeth and pulled out the weapons, let go of the reins of the war horses, and rushed out.
As the earth roared, two iron streams merged together, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen were tangled together in the narrow space.
Although the number of cavalry in the Imperial Army has a clear advantage, most people have become exhausted after a morning of torture.
Therefore, it cannot overwhelm the Qiu Te cavalry for a while, it just has a slight advantage.
For a moment, people were neighing on the horse, smoke and dust rolled, shouting and killing, and the sound of weapons hitting deafening
Looking at the bloody battle in front of him, Yang Sicong was surprised to find that his cavalry did not have as much advantage as he imagined.
He immediately ordered the infantry to prepare for attack, hoping to use the infantry to enter the battle and use the huge advantage of the number of people to completely defeat the resistance of the Qiute people.
At this moment, the horn of Qiu Te people came from the hill on the north side of the plain.
This is a signal that Jiang Hanqing seized the opportunity and ordered the two Qiu Te cavalry teams ambushed on the hills at both ends of the plain to attack.
With the sound of the horn, the two teams of Qiute cavalry killed from the hills on both sides.
The soldiers of the Imperial Army looked in horror as the two suddenly appeared Cavalry teams of the Qiute cavalry teams looked like they had a size of more than 10,000 people, both of which were light and half heavy.
Yang Sicong, who had already put all the cavalry into battle, was stunned for a moment, and could only watch the two cavalry teams break through the arrows shot from the imperial army from the north and south directions, and kill the generals came.
Yang Sicong's final effort was to use infantry to form a line of defense in vain to try to stop the enemy's attack.
But in front of these two elite cavalrymen of the Qiute people, the soldiers of the already exhausted imperial army only made a little symbolic resistance and soon collapsed!
Qiu Te cavalry shouted, easily breaking through the defensive front formed by the imperial army and infantry, and entering the formation to storm and kill.
The imperial army, which was fighting with the Qiute cavalry in front of the formation, immediately became depressed when they saw that the formation was broken through.
The first thing that collapsed was the light cavalry recruited from the local area, and their morale was completely disintegrated.
The cavalry who were unwilling to fight turned their horses to run towards the river bank one by one
Qiu Te cavalry chased after him, killing the soldiers of the empire like chopping melons and vegetables.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard who resisted tenaciously finally collapsed!
Under fatigue, hunger, cold and the crazy attacks of the enemy, they finally couldn't resist defeat and fell to the end.
All organized resistance of the imperial army disappeared, and all that was left was the desperate escape and the ruthless massacre of Qiu Teren.
Yang Sicong looked at everything in front of him, and the sudden reversal of the situation made him almost unable to believe it.
He rode his horse foolishly and stopped there, muttering: How could this happen! How could this happen? I failed? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could this happen?...
No one paid attention to him, even his servants and guards abandoned him and ran away on their own
Yang Sicong rode stupidly on the war horse, standing under the coach's flag without moving, as if he had lost consciousness
Countless defeated soldiers escaped from him, but he ignored them
A Qiu Te cavalry rushed over with a horse. When passing by Yang Sicong, he waved the scimitar in his hand and drew a beautiful arc in the air, and finally ended at Yang Sicong's neck.
brush!
With a sound, Yang Sicong's head left his body and flew into the air, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the hole in his neck.
His headless body fell heavily from his horse to the ground.
The fleeing imperial soldiers rushed to the cold Qinyang River and tried to wade to the other side.
There are countless people who trampled on each other along the way and died
Qiu Te cavalry followed the fleeing Imperial Sergeant to shoot arrows and knifes. Even those who surrendered were not lucky.
The cold Qinyang River has become the tomb of countless imperial soldiers on this cold winter day. The imperial soldiers who can escape Qinyang River alive are very small.
The fifth year of Zhenzhi in Taiping, the third day of November
The Imperial Expeditionary Force Yang Sicong's troops were completely wiped out
Less than 10,000 people survived, most of whom were soldiers guarding the village, who survived because they did not participate in the battle.
Almost all 140,000 troops who participated in the battle that day were killed by the Qinyang River, and the head coach Yang Sicong disappeared
This extremely painful defeat, a rare and painful defeat in the history of the Great Xia Empire, was later called the Qinyang Blood Slaughter War.
