Chapter 145 It is interests that determine the battle formation(2/3)
Yang Xuan felt that Old Liu was becoming more and more kind.
"Go away."
All kindness will inevitably turn into evil in the end.
Yang Xuan returned to his place and convened people to discuss matters.
"This battle is a forced one. It is difficult to predict how Bei Liao will respond." The old thief held a book of war in his hand. Recently, he felt that he was in a bottleneck period and needed an opportunity to break through.
"Mr. Lang, Bei Liao has longed for a battle in the past but couldn't get it. I'm afraid he will use all his strength in this battle." Nan He looked more professional.
"Zhongcheng said that the people in Chang'an were probably afraid that Northern Liao would regain its former strength, so they forced Northern Xinjiang to send troops." Yang Xuan felt that these words were somewhat comforting. "Last time, a family of four surnames planned Zhang Chumao to take over as the envoy of Northern Xinjiang.
Defeated and disgraced, Zhang Chumao will be forced to lie dormant for the next few years, and the price will be high."
"Can they still force Huang Zhongcheng to send troops for personal gain?" The old thief looked at Yang Xuan and Nan He.
"The emperor and four members of his family often fight secretly. I'm not surprised at all what those people can do," Nan He said.
"The key is which side Huang Zhongcheng is on." The old thief discovered the core of the problem.
Huang Chunhui... Yang Xuan thought carefully, "The last time Zhang Chumao forced the palace, it was Deputy Liao who testified."
"That's his own sect." Nan He also thought about it, "Huang Zhongcheng has stepped up the ranks step by step, and his background is simple. Such a person can be a military envoy in Northern Xinjiang, and he can be a role model for our generation."
Yang Xuan didn't know if there was anyone behind Huang Chunhui, but he knew one thing, Huang Chunhui's presence would be of great benefit to him.
"Let's all prepare ourselves."
Yang Xuan drove them away and sat under the window for a long time before he started writing a letter.
The letter was addressed to Zhao Sanfu and Zhou Ning. It basically reported good news but not bad news.
As for the war, it must not be mentioned at this moment.
After writing the letter, he went out and handed it to the old thief.
"Hey! Old thief, you also wrote a letter?"
Yang Xuan was greatly surprised.
The old thief was a little embarrassed, "It's for Lao Cao."
The envelope says Cao Yingshou, but there is a line of small words below.
You can see it only if you look carefully.
——If I die, please forward the letter to Chang Sanniang.
Everyone went to bed early that night.
On the second day, when the gastrodia was dark, Yang Xuan got up and had breakfast.
The streets were full of people, and most of the generals and officials were outside the Jiedushi Palace.
"Eat quickly."
"It might just be the last meal."
"Damn it! Who said this?"
After breakfast, everyone looks for their leader and returns to the team.
"Leave the city."
Liu Qing led the team and set off.
This time he also brought along his lieutenant Zhang Lichun, whom Yang Xuan had never interacted with.
Zhang Lichun was very cold. He glanced at Yang Xuan and nodded slightly.
Yang Xuan nodded in response.
Five thousand people lined up outside the city.
Yang Xuan also wanted to see how the army was gathering, so he galloped over on horseback.
"Zuo Yuhou's army went out to meet the scouts."
"Take orders!"
Zuo Yuhou's army set off.
In the team, Zhen Siwen took a deep breath.
Wang Laoer asked: "Sven, what are you smelling?"
"I smell blood."
Zuo Yuhou's army was cruising in front of the left side of the army, and scouts kept coming and going. Gradually, more scouts left and fewer came back. Even those who came back, many of them were injured.
"The enemy rangers are coming."
Hundreds of enemy rangers appeared and drove away the Tang army's scouts.
Zhang Lichun suggested, "Your Majesty, it's time to respond."
Liu Qing nodded, "Yang Xuan, lead the escort scout."
"Take orders!"
Yang Xuan rushed out with his three hundred cavalry.
"Little bastard, I'm going by myself."
Liu Qing laughed and cursed.
Ahead, the enemy scouts hesitated for a moment after discovering Yang Xuan's troops.
"Attack!"
The two sides are getting closer.
"Behead the enemy general and establish your authority!" the enemy general shouted.
Yang Xuan was so conspicuous that he stood at the front.
Liu Qing squinted his eyes and said, "Baby, be careful, be cautious..."
Zhang Lichun said: "Your Majesty, you are ruthless in battle, and your sword and gun have no eyesight."
Liu Qing looked at him slowly and expressionlessly.
Zhang Lichun's eyelids trembled a few times, "Be cautious."
The enemy is almost approaching the front.
"Throw!"
The three hundred knights all threw out what they were holding.
Taking advantage of the high-speed momentum at this moment, those things accelerated and smashed into the middle of the enemy army.
The enemy general lowered his head and the thing flew over his head.
"ah!"
There were screams from behind, and the enemy general turned around.
A sergeant had an iron rod stuck in his face, no, it was a piece of iron!
——The furnaces in Taiping were started, and the first furnace was all scrapped. Yang Xuan was reluctant to bear it, so he ordered these hidden weapons.
It is difficult to shoot arrows on horseback, and the cavalry charge too fast. If you release the arrow, you will encounter the enemy before you have time to close the bow.
But we can use concealed weapons!
In just one move, dozens of enemy soldiers fell.
So worth it!
Yang Xuan took the lead, followed by Wang Laoer and Nan He, and behind him was the old thief, who just ran in headfirst.
Now you don't have to worry about someone sneaking up from behind, just slash forward.
The enemy general gritted his teeth and struck out with all his might.
Seeing that Yang Xuan was young, he thought that with his own experience, it would not be a problem to kill this man.
Then a huge force came from where the swords met, and then there was a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth. He involuntarily let go of his hand, and the sword flew out.
The horizontal knife passed in front of his neck, and then with a deft move, the head was picked up.
Yang Xuan held the enemy general's head in one hand and raised it high above his head.
"Wan Sheng!"
More than three hundred cavalrymen cheered.
"Wan Sheng!"
Chen Zhoujun in our own formation was also raising his arms and shouting.
"Killing the enemy general is good." Liu Qing smiled reservedly.
