end song

Chapter 1104
To the north of Yinshan Mountain, the sound of gold ringing is louder than the sound of gold.

"The Yuan army has increased its troops! Withdraw!"

All the Tang troops came to Hetao for the first time, and their understanding of the terrain was limited to the maps they had seen in the past.

In this case, even if they didn't know exactly how many reinforcements the enemy had come and who they were, the generals quickly ordered to retreat.

Still out of caution at this time.

However, at dawn, the cavalry of the Tang army chasing at the forefront turned over a Yuan army in front of them with a spear, looked up, and saw the nine white banners on the Yin mountain in the distance.

It's not that Tang Jun has never seen such a guard of honor. After all, the ally Sheri Jihan who temporarily lives on Liupan Mountain has one. The authentic one was brought to the Western Regions by Brother Ali from Hara and Lin.

However, at this time, the Nine-White Banner on Yinshan Mountain is even bigger, exaggeratedly large, so it looks more authentic.

After being stunned for a while, the Tang rider suddenly turned his horse's head and shouted: "The chieftain is here! The chieftain is here!"

There are actually two Tang armies with different banners, one is the Yan'an army and the other is the Ningxia army.

Wang Li attacked the camp from east to west in the south of the Yin Mountain, and then went around the Yin Mountain to pursue the east. The position was further forward, and when he heard the news ahead, he immediately recruited the fast horse and gave orders.

"Quick! Report to the Ningxia military captives, and then tell them that the commander is at Nanhaizi Wharf outside Jiuyuan City!"

"Yes."

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the chieftain is coming. You guys, don't bring horses, just turn over Yinshan Mountain to signal..."

Still giving these orders, Wang Li could already hear the sound of horseshoes in the east.

He raised the binoculars to take a look, and shouted: "Stop chasing! Get out!"

Soon, the Yuan army has arrived.

Without fear, Wang Li raised his ax and shouted, "You retreat first, I'll finish off!"

~~
"Fire arrows!"

The army led by Zhang Hongfan was actually not an old soldier of the Zhang family in Shuntian, but an old soldier of Li Fen.

At that time, Shi Tianze commanded troops to quell the rebellion of Li Fen and chose to encircle Jinan City instead of attacking it. Yidu surrendered after Li Fen's death, and thus captured most of the Shandong soldiers...except for a small number of sailors who were taken away by Wang Luo .

Li Fen's former troops have always been known for their bravery, arrogance, and difficulty in controlling them.

These Shandong soldiers and horses are called the Loyalty Army. In fact, whether they surrendered to Jin, surrendered to Song Dynasty, or surrendered to Mongolia, they always thought of rebellion, which caused the court a headache.

Kublai Khan handed them over to Zhang Hongfan.

Zhang Hongfan has always been good at subduing the hearts of the soldiers, and he has tidied up the soldiers and horses in two years.

And after Dayuan negotiated peace with Song, they had already been transferred from Shandong to Yanjing.Because the kings of Beiping and Anxi took away a lot of troops, and Yanjing is building a city and will be used as a metropolis, so a large number of troops are needed to supervise the construction.

From this point of view, it can be seen faintly that the military strength of the Yuan Dynasty is somewhat insufficient, and it can also be seen that it is inevitable to negotiate a peace with the Song Dynasty.

All in all, Zhang Hongfan Xinjun has just finished training, and he is in full swing, and he is going out with the Emperor Dayuan, showing his intentions, and everyone is even more excited.

Mongolian horses have good stamina. They changed their mounts only at the foot of the Yin Mountain.

"Kill them!"

Zhang Hongfan raised his head and saw a general's flag in front of him, writing "Wang Li, Commander of the Yan'an Army of the Great Tang Dynasty", he couldn't help but sneered.

"After the enemy general is broken, I have a little courage."

He drew his longbow, and with two sounds of "Xu", two consecutive arrows shot towards the young general under the general's banner.

Seeing that the young general saw it, he turned around hastily and swung his ax to block an arrow. At the same time, he lowered his body and tried to avoid another arrow. In the end, the arrow still hit him. However, he was well armored. The wounded but not dead, dropped the big axe, drove the horse and fled.

"Good boy!"

Zhang Hongfan said hello, then he was willing to look at the general's flag again, noticed the opponent's name, and at the same time drove his horse to catch up.

"Don't leave the enemy general!"

The Yuan army caught up, and Zhang Hongfan rode his horse among the brave cavalry, and chopped down several Tang soldiers. He showed his pride, raised his sword and shouted: "Wu Na Wang Li! If you don't want to die, get off your horse and accept surrender. The future is yours!"

Wang Li didn't turn his head back, he bent down even lower, endured the pain in his body, and cursed: "Good grandson, chase your grandpa again!"

Zhang Hongfan then let go of the rein with both hands while running wildly, clamped the horse's belly tightly with his legs, and drew his bow again.

First, he glanced at Wang Li's back and felt that the armor was too thick, so he shot an arrow and hit the horse.

"Beautiful!"

With a neigh, Wang Li fell off the horse.

"Commander!" The surrounding soldiers of the Tang army reined in and turned around to meet the Yuan army.

"Kill them!"

The Yuan army rushed forward quickly.

As long as they can bite the Tang army like this, there will be a lot of follow-up troops...

~~
"General, the chieftain is here!"

"I saw it."

To the northwest of the battlefield, Wang Mancang, who was promoted to a general because of destroying the Shahu embankment of the Yuan army, looked up and said angrily: "The Yan'an army has been bitten, follow me!"

"General Yang didn't order..."

"Shut up, I am your general."

Regardless of Wang Mancang's concern, he had already charged forward on his horse.

Tang Jun was the most respectful of military discipline and paid attention to orders and prohibitions. He knew that he had violated military discipline in this way. Even if he defeated the Yuan army in this battle, he would be severely punished.

But Wang Mancang didn't care, because he had nothing to worry about, no relatives, no reason, not even a relative who couldn't be reached.

In the army, there were marriages for officers and soldiers. At first, Yang Ben and later Li Zengbo were alarmed. They said they wanted to find a wife for him, but he refused.

Over the years, Wang Mancang has been with all kinds of women, and he has no children. He doesn't want to do other things that his colleagues want to do, such as begging for a wife, getting promoted and getting rich.

He used to think about killing captives for revenge, but later he even lost his desire for revenge. He stayed in the army because he wanted to see a unified world and a peaceful and prosperous world, but he didn't think he would see it for sure.

He felt that if people like Liu Mazi could survive, they would be much better off than him.

All in all, his indifference made him a special case in the army, only he dared to disobey military discipline and make his own opinions.

"Minister... Damn, make a contract with Wang Zang to kill him!"

"Kill it."

Wang Mancang rushed into the formation of the Yuan army obliquely, and with a bang, he knocked the two Yuan knights into the air.

He himself fell off the horse, rolled on the spot, and screamed twice.

Behind him, his soldiers rushed up to release their crossbows, and the arrows of the crossbow shot past.Taking the opportunity, Wang Mancang dragged Wang Li to the back and shouted, "Get out! Your general Lao Tzu has been rescued!"

"withdraw!"

Wang Li shouted, but when he turned his head around, he saw that more Yuan troops from the east had rushed over, cutting off their way to retreat to the west.

Surrounded.

"This grandson deliberately let you in to save me, this dog hozen, motherfucker."

The 17-year-old boy has been in the army since he was a child, and he has learned a lot of foul language. Hearing Wang Mancang laughing in the melee.

But Wang Li didn't have time to listen to his laughter, he gave him an elbow, broke free, his childish face was full of seriousness, and he gave orders one after another.

"Retreat to the north! Yuan Jiang, the straight girl, blocked our way, and attracted more brothers to support us. Let's go north! Break out!"

"Let's go!" Wang Mancang responded immediately, shouting: "Break out! Follow me to Hara and Lin..."

~~
Seeing that Tang Jun came to rescue Zhang Hongfan, he was not surprised but happy.

He didn't look at Wang Li's general flag anymore, but raised his binoculars to look at a large Tang army formation further ahead.

The flag on the general's flag reads "The Ningxia Army of the Great Tang Dynasty controls Yang Ben", which is Zhang Hongfan's real goal in this battle.

At this time, because the generals under his command committed suicide and went back, the sound of Jin Jin in Yang Ben's army had stopped, and he was reorganizing the team.

Maybe it was to turn back to save his generals, or maybe Yang Ben also realized that he could no longer retreat, and if he retreated from Wuliangsuhai and Urad Pasture, Li Xia would not be able to join Zhang Jue.

"Not that stupid."

Zhang Hongfan commented on Yang Ben to himself, then turned his head and looked at the direction where Wang Li was, and ordered Qianhu under his command: "Surround them."

"Yes."

"The rest, follow me and kill from the left wing!"

At this time, Yang Ben was still rearranging the array.

Li Xia left half of his soldiers and horses in the camp, and asked Yang Ben to bring five thousand horses to chase Aibuhua.

Yang Benyuan had always been chasing from west to east, and only retreated after encountering the Yuan army to form a formation facing east. In such a short period of time, it was impossible to form a formation at all.

Zhang Hongfan just seized this opportunity and bumped into it without hesitation.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

The horse's hooves stomped on the ground like thunder and drums.

It has to be said that Zhang Hongfan has a good grasp of the rhythm of the battle, charge, bite the enemy, separate troops and horses to slowly surround and kill, rest and charge again.

The Yuan army's thousands of horses are galloping, and they have already run with momentum.

In a cavalry duel, the momentum is certain, and the outcome is determined.

~~
If you look back at the various battles in history afterwards, you will often feel that those generals were stupid, because later generations combined and analyzed all the factors.

But in fact, when an accident occurs in the war, the general has to make a decision in an instant.

Not even time to think about it, or to be stupid or not stupid at all.

So far in this battle, Yang Ben's few orders can't be said to be right or wrong at all.

The chasing rout soldiers encountered a large group of enemy troops and ordered to retreat, but when they looked back and saw the terrain of Wuliangsuhai and Yinshan Mountains, thinking of resisting the enemy soldiers so that His Majesty would have a chance to join Zhang Jue, he ordered to line up to resist.

This is the first reaction.

The so-called capital of a famous general is the ability to make the most correct judgment in the shortest time.

In the past, Yang Ben was always better than others in this aspect. He has repeatedly made military exploits in the Northwest and can often feel that the enemy generals are behind him.

Dong Wenbing and Tachaer, no matter how well-known they are, no matter how high their status is, in his eyes they are just above-average talents.

Successive victories even made him a little arrogant.

But this time, Yang Ben realized that he had met someone who was more talented than himself.

In an instant, he knew that if the two sides confronted each other, they would definitely be defeated; and if they retreated at this time, they might be able to save more soldiers and horses, but they would not escape defeat, and they would lose ground...
