end song

"Blow the horn!"

Yang Ben suddenly shouted: "Bring the general flag over here!"

"Moo!"

Amidst the long sound of the horn, Yang Ben suddenly rode out and led the entire army to run against the Yuan army.

But this is obviously seeking a dead end. The most important thing for cavalry to hedge is momentum. The Yuan army has already started running, and its momentum is much stronger.However, Tang Jun had just started running, and his body was not warm after cooling down. When the two armies were likely to collide, a large number of Tang Jun soldiers must have avoided them unconsciously.

Moreover, Yang Ben is still at the front, and he may be killed in one round, so there is no chance of winning in such a hedge.

However, as he rode his horse and ran, his direction gradually changed. Instead of colliding with the Yuan army in the east, he turned to the northeast.

Tang Jun was originally located at the intersection of Wuliangsu Lake and Yinshan Mountain in the eastern section. The place was too small to run.Moreover, the array is too hasty, and it is necessary to respond to the enemy before it is adjusted.

So pass by the cavalry of the Yuan army, adjust the morale of the army and improve the momentum while running.

But then what?

Yang Ben didn't seem to think about it.

If there were only him and Zhang Hongfan on the entire battlefield, they could of course be allowed to clash back and forth on the battlefield, but the problem is that the Yuan army still has more troops behind.

If Zhang Hongfan went directly to the west, seized the Urad pasture, occupied between Li Xia and Zhang Jue's troops, and blocked Yang Ben's retreat, then Yang Ben would fall into the siege of the Yuan army north of Yinshan Mountain.

Simply put, when he should have retreated back to defend a narrow pass, he chose to run forward to a wider place to adjust in order to fight this battle well.

Then how to deal with it, in turn, became a problem before Zhang Hongfan.

He could have rushed to the Yinshan pass, cut off Yang Ben's retreat, and got stuck between Li Xia and Zhang Jue at the same time.

In an instant, he reacted and ordered: "Catch up!"

When the banner waved, it pointed to the northwest direction, and stubbornly slammed into Yang Ben's headquarters.

Zhang Hongfan must have seen the battle clearly and knew the benefits of going west to occupy the pass, but he didn't intend to let Yang Ben get behind him, as there would be some risk in doing so.

For example, in case the Yuan army from the rear has not arrived, Li Xia has arrived, and Yang Ben will attack back and forth.For another example, if Yang Ben went crazy, he would rather go to the main camp of the Yuan army if the whole army was wiped out, which would startle his majesty.

The possibility of these situations happening is very small. If facing other opponents, Zhang Hongfan would not consider it at all, but Li Xia has had too many unbelievable victories over the years. Even Brother Meng can die in Diaoyu City. Who can guarantee this? There will be no accidents this time.

Therefore, he directly chose a more secure style of play, defeating Yang Ben first, and then attacking Li Xia.

The cavalry on the entire battlefield started to run, and the dust and smoke filled the air.

If you look at it from a distance, it's like seeing two long black dragons flying and entangled.

~~
"The Ningxia army is back!"

"General Yang is back!"

Wang Mancang and Wang Li, who were surrounded by the Yuan army, quickly discovered the change on the other side, and the soldiers shouted one after another, and their morale was greatly boosted.

Wang Li picked up a spear, rushed forward and threw a Yuan army cavalry off his horse. He grabbed the horse and turned on his back. Get up and look into the distance.

Seeing the banner belonging to Yang Ben getting closer and closer in the distance, he couldn't help shouting: "Let's go! The Ningxia army quickly retreat, don't come to rescue us!"

Wang Mancang over there also thought that Yang Ben was trying to save himself, and shouted: "Brothers, General Yang came back for us, so we won't drag them down by killing them."

Wang Li turned his head and looked around, and found that the Yuan army was changing formation.

This allowed him to keenly seize the opportunity to break through.

"Follow me out!"

"Kill!"

The big ax was nowhere to be found, the spear in his hand was too light to use, and there were several wounds on his body, but Wang Li was still rushing left and right, very fiercely.

He grew up in Diaoyu City, deeply influenced by Wang Jian and Zhang Jue, and he is resolute and fierce.

I don't know how many enemies I have smashed, and suddenly my eyes are bright.

"Kill it out!"

Wang Li yelled again, he really seized the opportunity and led the soldiers out of the encirclement.

Like a bird coming out of a cage, the vast grassland in front is so empty, and the gray mountain range stretches far away, which is the remnant of the Yin Mountain in the north.

"You go! I'm here to stop!"

The young general reined in his reins, turned around with his spear horizontally, showing a domineering personality that didn't match his age.

But after being seriously injured, he was exhausted, his body swayed, and he was a little dizzy.

"Little baby, let's go, let's go!"

Someone rushed up from behind, and fled regardless of pulling his rein.

"Don't talk about me, get out of the way!" Wang Li was furious, and shouted: "After I come, my soldiers..."

"Go!"

Wang Mancang actually didn't know Wang Li.

He just didn't want to see such a young general die here.

So when Wang Li was furious and threw his spear across at him, he leaned against him. After being hit a few times, Wang Li fainted and almost fell off his horse, but a soldier came to help him.

"Protect the general and go..."

The sound of arrow rain sounded behind him.

And the arrows of the Yuan army behind them shot at the horses of the soldiers of the Tang army one by one, shooting them down under the horses.

The protruding Tang Jun didn't care about the direction at all, and galloped towards the gray mountains in the distance.

When Wang Li's troops were surrounded, more than a thousand people were trapped in the formation, and Wang Mancang led more than two hundred people to support him, adding up to 500 people.

But in the process of fleeing, only half of the cavalry was left in a short period of time.

He fled all the way, leaving corpses all the way.

After fleeing for a long time, only about [-] cavalry could gather.

Wang Mancang looked back and saw that the Yuan army was still chasing him, and shouted: "Don't take the flag! Your mother, I told you to throw the flag away!"

"Bang" sound.

A horseshoe stepped on that flag, stepped on the words "Commander Wang Li" and chased northward for a while...

Looking north from the battlefield with a binocular, you can see a flag of the Tang army falling down.

Zhang Hongfan knew that he had wiped out an entire Tang army, so he ordered the cavalry in the north to block Yang Ben.

Finally, the Yuan army stopped pursuing, Wang Mancang got off his horse and climbed up Yinshan Mountain.

Panting for breath, he finally struggled to lead the horse over a small hill.

There was a higher mountain in front of him, but he couldn't climb it anymore, at least he was temporarily out of the battlefield here.

After he fell to the ground and took a breath, some soldiers supported Wang Li and put him on the ground slowly, and Wang Mancang stood up again.

"The medicine...here, heal him..."

After treating Wang Li's wound, it didn't take long for Wang Li to open his eyes.

~~
"Where are my soldiers?"

"It's all here. The rest... ran away..."

"Where's my flag?"

"The standard bearer brought most of the troops to join General Yang."

Wang Li sat up, raised his hand, and shouted, "This is Lao Tzu's standard bearer!"

Wang Mancang smiled, and said: "The other flag bearers are carrying the flag to join General Yang."

"Tell me!"

"I was confiscated by the Yuan army... We lost this beard."

Wang Li was furious, glared at Wang Mancang, and said, "Where did you come from?! How dare you meddle in Lao Tzu's military affairs!"

"Maotou boy also called Laozi in front of Laozi. If Laozi didn't exist, you would be dead."

"Don't be a deserter even if I die!" Wang Li shouted angrily.

He raised his head, saw that there were only a few soldiers left in front of him, and couldn't help but feel great grief.

Wang Mancang shook his head and said: "Boy, think about it. Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. A commander of your age will have more opportunities to make contributions in the future. Losing a game is nothing."

"Go away! I have never been defeated when I was in the army at the thirteenth year... The commander handed over these soldiers to me... If it wasn't for you..."

"If it weren't for me, if you died, all the soldiers under your command would still have to die."

"Come here, take him down, and deal with it by military law!"

"Stop messing around."

Wang Mancang disapprovingly supported the stone and sat down, gasping for breath: "Now there is no food and grass, and I have run away from the main force. If there is any more noise, even this little people will have to be quarreled."

Wang Li looked at him angrily.

"Don't look at it." Wang Mancang said, "What's the use of complaining when you encounter something? Find a way to win, and find a way to join the main force as soon as possible."

Wang Li sat down again, leaning against the rocks to catch his breath. After a while, he took another look at Wang Mancang and asked, "Are you injured too?"

~~
Yang Ben touched the horse's neck. The horse was sweating profusely and was already very tired.

His soldiers have also been fighting from last night to today's evening, and their strength is exhausted.

In this battle, he has tried his best to command the best, but he is still about to lose.

The Tang army had already forced the Yuan army to change direction by running to the northeast, which was equivalent to offsetting the impact force of the Yuan army with speed.

This allowed the Tang army to enter a stalemate with the Yuan army.

But soon, Tang Jun soldiers discovered something that surprised them.

Many soldiers of this Ningxia army were recruited locally by Li Zengbo. He always felt that the Mongolian army was invincible, and that the Tachaer tribe he had fought with was a powerful army in the world.As a result, during the battle today, it was discovered that the soldiers under Zhang Hongfan's command were stronger than those of Tacha'er and Aibuhua.

If you count the commanding level of the generals, it can even be said that Zhang Hongfan and Ai Buhua's military strength is very different.

The Ningxia army was already at a disadvantage in terms of the right time, place and people, and coupled with the wrong forecast of the enemy's combat, it fell into a disadvantage.

Yang Ben felt a bit of bitterness in his throat, and raised the binocular to look at the enemy general's flag.

When the word "Zhang" came into view, he thought to himself, in fact, there are not many Mongolian generals available to Kublai Khan, and most of the ones who can fight are Han generals.

Let him not know whether to be proud or sad.

There was another thunderous sound of horseshoes in the east, which was the arrival of the follow-up soldiers of the Yuan army.

In this way, the Ningxia Army finally reached the brink of defeat.

No matter how strong soldiers and horses are, they may be defeated, as long as the soldiers see no hope of winning.

Yang Ben looked towards the west again.

He has been waiting, and he chose this tactic to hold back Zhang Hongfan and fight fiercely for as long as possible, waiting for his majesty to lead his troops to the Urad pasture in person.

……

Finally, dust and smoke rose from the grassland to the west, but there was no thunderous sound of horseshoes.

Then a large flag gradually appeared in sight.

~~
"coming."

Zhang Hongfan turned his head to look, muttered to himself, and at the same time assessed the situation on the battlefield.

Today he led more than [-] vanguard troops, first defeated a nearly [-] Tang army Yan'an army, and then confronted a Tang army Ningxia army with more than [-] men for most of the day and gained the absolute upper hand.

At this time Li Xia arrived, and Yang Ben's combined troops were probably no more than seven or eight thousand, and he still had follow-up troops on his side.

But it was getting late, and his soldiers had already been fighting all day.

Since the Emperor Dayuan had already personally conquered Li Xia, he was not in a hurry to defeat Li Xia.

Zhang Hongfan, who had always been decisive, hesitated, squinted at the dust and smoke, and fell into deep thought.

Should he go ahead and kill today, or should he fight steadily and step by step... It just depends on whether he has the confidence to fight Li Xia at this time.
