Chapter 38 Big Takes All (4)
Chapter 38: Take All in All (4)
In the early morning of the grassland, a squeaky soldier cut into the formation of the Yan cavalry. Katun's big sword flew, and a head was thrust by blood. The smell of blood made the Jurchens feel turbulent, and even more aroused the mania of blood licking.
The wedge-shaped assault array opened its bloody mouth and tore the marching queue. More heads flew up, and each head flew into the sky, and the strange screams increased one level.
The Yan army in the four columns was split in the blink of an eye. Katun's horse head turned left, and the entire triangle rotated to the left, sweeping the Yan army's front team.
Those who have been chasing for a night and galloping on horseback for a long time are most afraid of the moment when dawn is approaching. At this time, people can fall asleep while standing, let alone sitting on horseback.
The splattered blood and the cold morning breeze quickly awakened the tired knights, but the attack came too quickly and they could not change from the marching formation.
The former soldiers turned their backs to the attackers at this time, and they could only bear the unfavorable situation of being attacked behind them; although the back team was in a better state, the attackers who had the initiative left the main formation and rushed towards the Yan army back team that was much more than they did without hesitation.
The result of Katun's rotation to the left made the Yan army's front team collapse quickly. The front team wanted to rotate to the right many times to resist, but whenever a brave knight was about to turn the horse's head, what was waiting for him was the ghost-headed sword raised high from behind.
All efforts of the front team to resist were completely failed after several unsuccessful attempts. The Jurchens chased after the rear, causing the Yan army's front team to escape blindly. The horses that marched overnight were already quite tired, and they were not as good as the Jurchen cavalry who were waiting for their time.
Some cavalry lost confidence in the dilemma of being unable to resist and unable to escape, and began to flee in all directions, and the marching teams collapsed.
The leader of the Yan army, Fang Kuan, looked at the army horses that were coming out in surprise. He couldn't figure out who this was. But the facts had already made him unable to consider it and had to make a legitimate reaction. Fang Kuan made a judgment and the opponent's troops were always much less.
Immediately ordered the two guards to separate from them. They surrounded the team of ignorant attackers in a clamp shape.
The cavalry was extremely mobile in combat. The cut-off rear team of the Yan army had just opened their mouths, and the Jurchens were responsible for blocking the ground team, and instead advanced, they attacked the Yan army's troops separately. The hundreds of households were heading closely at the Yan army's flag, rushing forward, and all those who blocked were blocking them.
Originally, the two guards of the Yan army separated from it, but now when they encountered such an evil star, no one went up to resist. As they turned, the team had already reached the front of the coach flag.
Fang Kuan did not expect that his command would reveal such a big flaw, so his personal soldiers kept persuading him to move the commander's flag back.
Fang Kuan's eyes widened, and he drew away the persuasion of his personal soldiers. He reached out and pulled down the battle robe on his body and shouted to the surroundings: "I'll ask for it, and I'll stand here even if I die.
"Fang Kuan's words aroused the fighting spirit of the personal soldiers. Dozens of personal soldiers waved their weapons to meet them. The two teams collided halfway. Fang Kuan's personal soldiers were all elite among the veterans.
The immediate kung fu is not inferior to the Hu people. With only one meeting, several people on both sides fell into the horse. Just this time, the Jurchen team has been blocked.
Fang Kuan's order just now made a gap in his formation, and the Jurchen team was unimpeded. But as soon as they encountered resistance, they were immediately surrounded by Yan troops who had reacted around them.
The Jurchen squad was not panicked. Three or five cavalry formed a small group, and from time to time, one or two lonely cavalrymen were wrapped up in the surrounding Yan army to encircle and suppress them. However, there were many Yan soldiers, so the team could not kill them any longer.
The coaching flag was temporarily safe. Fang Kuan led his subordinates to slowly move the coaching flag to a gentle slope, and the situation on the battlefield gradually became clear.
Dozens of corpses were left on the other side of the river on the right side. A thousand-houses of soldiers chasing across the river had been repelled, and the remaining troops were slowly retreating towards their own formation.
Right ahead, his front team had completely collapsed, and more scattered soldiers were being chased; two cavalry teams on both wings were surrounding the plagiarists. This slap was really hard to eat.
If the subordinates were not soldiers who had been through many battles, they would even be at risk of collapse in such a sharp assault.
Seeing that there was no danger around for the time being, Fang Kuan waved the flag and mobilized the troops and horses to destroy the cavalry team in front of him.
Although this cavalry team has few people, it is extremely fierce. The ground combat team formed by three or five cavalry is more flexible and sharp. Fang Kuan is as new as he appreciates the squad that is rushing and rushing left and right. For these never seen tactics.
Fang Kuan nodded and would implement such tactics among his subordinates in the future.
The Yan army's front troop escaped. He was hunted by the Jurchens. Katun turned around and saw two cavalrymen surrounding him into pliers. Katun ordered the messengers to blow the trumpet and gather the gradually spreading team.
Katun's men were always faster than the opponent. When the encirclement was about to close, the brigade rushed up a hill. As soon as he went up the mountain, the Jurchens turned around and fought back the chasing Yan army.
The Yan army did not rush hard, but surrounded the attackers around Xiaoshangang.
Katun looked out at him and saw that not far away, one of his family was in siege. Katun was a little anxious. Although the Yan army in front of him could not do anything to him, he could not rush down the mountain to rescue him.
The personal soldiers beside him were also anxious and asked for the battle, but Katun understood that adding troops to the encirclement at this time would be more fuel and would be of no use.
The Yan army at the foot of the mountain was not in a hurry to attack the mountain, but just competed with the arrows on the mountain with one arrow, obviously trying to use up the arrows on the mountain before rushing upwards.
Just at the critical moment, a firework suddenly rushed into the sky on the right. On the north side of the battlefield, which was on the right hand of Katun, there were waves of horns, and followed the black cavalry on the horizon.
Finally, Katun drew his sword and waved it for a while. The Jurchen Knight, who had been suffocated, rushed down the mountain with Katun...
Fang Kuan was not determined to destroy the squad in front of him. When the cavalry from the north rolled in, he wisely chose to retreat.
It is very unwise for the Yan army to enter the battle again. Although the Yan army suffered a loss in this confrontation, if they were enthusiastic and devoted to this battle, they would definitely be even more miserable. Fang Kuan calmly released two thousand households to cover the situation, and the army slowly retreated westward.
The Liaodong Army did not chase after him, but just left the two arrows and saw him off slowly, and sent him for ten miles before they broke off contact.
A cavalry confrontation ended with a head-on approach. The Liaodong Army occupied the battlefield and found 620 bodies of the Yan army on the battlefield. There were more than 50 soldiers seriously injured and unable to leave. Most of these people were left by the split front team. The Liaodong Army was killed 107 people, and most of the team fighting alone were lost, with a total of 61 people killed.
All the others were injured. In addition, more than 20 people were seriously injured in the Liaodong Army, and more than 200 people were slightly injured.
This was a standard victory for the Liaodong Army.
But Katun couldn't be happy no matter how he lost more than 80 people. Why couldn't Qu Qing and Ye Wang join the battlefield earlier? When Ye and Qu came to the front with one reins, Katun wanted to ask what was going on. Who knew that Qu Qing was one step faster than him, came to him in front of him in three steps, saluted and bowed to the ground: "Thank you for saving General Ka.
"Qu Qing bowed this way, but Katun could only temporarily suppress his anger, politely helped him up, and said, "What's the matter, this is arranged by Your Highness."
Ye Wang could see clearly from the side and hurriedly said, "Justice and our army were five miles away. We studied the battlefield situation and decided to launch an attack around the north. If the Yan army faced the battle, we could rely on our troops to press it to the direction of the river.
Who knew that this detour would delay time and almost put General Ka in trouble. "Ye Wang is his superior. If he said such a thing, how dare Katun have any objections?
Suddenly, he felt cold sweat, quickly saluted, knelt on one knee on the ground and replied, "How dare I have resentment, just... "
Ye Wang helped him up and said, "I know, you feel sorry for your brothers who have lost. The Liaodong Army won this battle, and you should remember your 30,000 guards first." As he said that, he leaned over and whispered: "Be careful, there are outsiders here, don't lose the face of Liaodong.
"After saying that, Qu Qing led a general, and saw that this man was tall and had a light gold face.
It was just that Qu Qing sent to the riverside to lure the Yan army's local generals. Qu Qing introduced: "Master Ye, General Ka, let me introduce to you, this is General Bu Wan, the commander-in-chief of Daning. "
Ye Wang immediately showed a warm smile and caught Bu Wan with one hand: "You are the desperate Bu Erlang who is trembling with three sides?"
Bu Wan saluted and replied with a serious expression: "The last general Bu Wan has seen Marshal Ye, and that is what his colleagues have spent their time in the past. Marshal Ye praised it."
Ye Wang introduced to Katun: "General Katun. This General Bu is a famous brave general and was previously under the escort of King Gu.
In the 23rd year of Hongwu, he led 3,000 warriors to defeat the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Tartars. He was awarded the gold medal of "Fighting Erlang" by the late emperor. This kind of glory is enviable. "Katun hurriedly came up to see the ceremony.
Ye Wang said: "This place is too close to Daning. Each tribe has a short rest and then quickly set off for Liaodong." The generals agreed in unison.
Along the way, Ye Wang and the others heard Qu Qing talk about the incident that happened in Daning. It turned out that after the King of Yan captured Xuan Mansion, he immediately changed his way north, and the light cavalry crossed the desert and headed straight to Daning.
Daning did not expect that King Yan would be so quick. When tens of thousands of troops arrived at the city, King Ning was alert.
Regarding the appearance of Yan army, two different voices appeared in Daning City. On the one hand, Chen Heng and Fang Kuan, the former subordinates from Yan land, hoped that Ning and Yan would merge. On the other hand, the generals of the Guliao faction led by Bu Wan and Qu Qing were loyal to the court.
Both sides have equal strength in terms of military strength, so the key figure depends on King Ning.
Qu Qing believed that King Ning had the intention to be rebellious, otherwise how could King Yan's actions not have any information to detect? Just when the two sides were unable to fight, a sudden incident disrupted the situation.
Just yesterday, Chen Heng suddenly sent troops to attack Bu Wan's mansion on the grounds that Bu Wan had an affair with the Mongolian court and wanted to capture him. Bu Wan led the crowd to resist and only saved him, and his family and others fell into Chen Heng's hands.
For a time, the troops supporting Chen Heng and Bu Wan fought in the city. When Qu Qing received the news, he immediately led his army to enter the city from the north gate he controlled to support Bu Wan. However, Fang Kuan also opened the south gate and let the King of Yan enter the city. A large group of Yan troops flocked in.
Seeing that things were not done, Qu Qing Bu Wan had to lead his troops out of the northern gate to retreat in Liaodong. Fang Kuan led the troops of the two guards to chase them all the way until they were intercepted by Katun just now.
After listening to Qu Qing's narration, Ye Wang felt even more confused. Could it be that the Liao King's magic trick could actually calculate this step? If it weren't for the arrangement in advance, Qu Qing and others would have been in trouble. Ye Wang asked, "How is King Ning?"
Qu Qing shook his head and said, "When I was about to leave the city, I will send a scout to the palace to invite King Ning out to go with us, but the scouts returned that King Ning was no longer in the palace and was missing.
