Chapter 058 – The battle of weights and measures

Forty thousand Ji Nan old pawns unharmed through the Qing Yang basin, the old general Yang Shen Xing also intentionally or unintentionally in the fringe of a high slope, stopping the horse to look back, seems to be some did not meet the ambush of the release, but also some did not meet the hard battle of the loss. The Anguo general’s stomach has a lot of goods, even his son Yang Huchen did not tell, the child is not as good as the grandchildren, the first eldest grandson Yang Wenqi is the only handsome talent within the family, just too young, Yang Shenxeng does not want this child prematurely dipped in the sands outside of the officialdom in the calculations, and the son of Yang Huchen is only the talent of the talent, more to say no good. This trip to the south, their Yang family Jinan soldiers victory or defeat, in fact, has nothing to do with the big picture, Cao Changqing even if he has the heart to want to open the door to the red, but also will only stare at the Yan Zhenchun that piece of fat meat, the only way to clean up the plains of the East Yu above the 30,000 cavalry army, in order to not be in the head at will to shit and pee. Yang Shenxing smiled, Yan Zhenchun is not willing to accept that group of soldiers who have never been on the battlefield experience, in addition to the old man and the capital of the Secretary of State has been the relationship between the relationship is weak, is not clear about their own perilous situation, do not dare to take the opportunity to make friends in the city of Tai’an powerful family, in case of the death of dozens of young family members, that can be a breath of offend dozens of the capital of the valve’s fate. On the battlefield, who cares how big your parents are? If you kill your eyes, a head is a military honor.

Yang Shenxing is thinking about taking over the management of the Polaris clamor military town, how to find new opportunities to feed the gang of playboys. The old general listened to a series of sharp whistles, his eyes involuntarily jumped, turned on his horse, and headed south.

A rider burst into the formation, no one blocked, it is the elite scout in the old pawns in the south of the ji, at this time, heavily wounded, with a feathered arrow stuck in his back. The scouts are all fast horses and light cavalry, in order to pursue the ultimate speed, in addition to the contact battle must have a short crossbow sword, almost will not wear armor. Yang Shenxing fast horse whip, rushed to the scout fell at the horse, this Yang Shenxing can call out the name of the middle-aged scouts have died, arrived earlier Yang Huchen hold the scout is still warm body, gritted teeth, was about to open the mouth to report the military situation, in the horse on the back of the Yang Shenxing waved his hand, Yang Huchen also know the importance of the order to carry away the body of the fallen veteran pawns, get on the horse with his father and ride side by side, the two riders quickly came to a secluded place, the two riders quickly, the two rider’s face. Only then did Yang Huchen say in a dark voice: “Father, the six scouts who went to Polaris hustle military town, only this one came back, the city has already erected the Chu flag, in front of the city also dug out three trenches overnight, in which the breastwork, battlements and arrows are set up in a skillful way, no more than the rusticity of our Jixi South Engineering Camp, there are more cavalry troops roaming around on the two flanks of the city, the number of which is not known, but they should not be intending to defend Polaris hustle. I’m afraid of this group of Western Chu remnants. Fear is afraid of this gang of western Chu remnants all in one breath will all the cavalry army in the vicinity of Polaris clamor ……”

Yang Shen Xing sneered: “Categorically will not, Polaris clamor terrain can only put down three thousand riders, more can only make a show, three thousand riders, plus six or seven thousand rebels in the city, defend the city is okay, take the initiative to attack the city, the brain was kicked by a donkey is more or less. Now I’m afraid that they are more concerned about this supply line behind us, after Qinshui Jindu, there is one more Qing Yang basin.”

Yang Huchen asked cautiously, “Father, should we retreat to the north bank of Qinshuijindu? With the river as a barrier, even if the other side has the advantage of the cavalry, it can not be utilized, whether it is attacking or defending, we still have the right to take the initiative. The big deal is that we have lost the first prize only …….”

Yang Shenxing face sinks like water, did not make a sound. At this time there is a new set of scouts back to bring back military intelligence, transmitted a let Yang Shen Xing Yang Huchen father and son feel absurd news, Polaris clamor outside the town of two thousand light cavalry began to the north of the rapid advance, will soon be head-on collision with them. Jixinan foot soldiers south speed fast and slow moderate, not step by step, but to deal with a variety of enemy attacks are not so busy, more far from the tired division, not to mention Yang Shenxing under the command of 4,000 light cavalry, Yang Shenxing feel a little funny, the other side is where the child with the soldiers, is not familiar with the results of reading the book of war read the brains of the stupid? Only think against the expedition foot soldiers, as long as the hands have cavalry, you can pounce on? Yang Shenxing smiled and ordered: “Huchen, let Wenqi be the vanguard, lead two thousand riders to go, you personally lead three thousand riders then pressure, if our ‘three thousand iron horsemen’ take the initiative to ask for orders, you may as well agree to come down, so that they can pick up the battle in the center to see the blood is also good to go back to the capital after the good to talk to them! After returning to the capital, they can brag about it with their friends. Also, let people pay attention to keep an eye on the movements of the Qing Yang Basin, these Western Chu have held more than ten years of military books of the rash, it is unlikely that they will do something that will make people laugh and cry.”

Yang Huchen led the order to go, Yang Shenxing steered his horse slowly forward, then mounted a simple lookout building built up urgently, the old general held on to the rough railing with some emotion, in the Spring and Autumn Warfare, the two armies faced each other, the time, the place, the people, every cent, he once fought alongside with several people from Beiliang, and that was really pleasing to the eye, Yuan Zuozong’s cavalry charging, even if the number was at a disadvantage, in the eyes of the bystanders, there was still the The lion fighting the rabbit’s momentum. Chu Lushan’s temple blocking, no matter how many thousands of pursuers, this fat pig will never let people feel worried. As for Chen Zhi Bao’s sitting in the army, a battle in the middle of hundreds of precise instructions, each battalion of each lieutenant is like an arm and a hand. Why is the present son of heaven only green-eyed in this little man butcher, because it is Chen Zhi Bao, in more than 100,000 troops in the killing, in the Spring and Autumn armored Ye Bai Kui hands to win the absolute results, and win without delay, that is called a dry and sharp. Yang Shenxing sighed, the old man why do not know what is the name of the biggest merit of the Spring and Autumn? Just that cripple won the sand, lost the temple, blame no one else.

Yang Shenxing eeked out, two roughly equal numbers of cavalry each after the fall, the other side in the impact of the Wen Qi, but did not defeat, there is still the power of a battle? The old general was also a little worried that this is the enemy’s plan to lure the enemy, Wen Qi is young and vigorous, if you let your own cavalry here to lose too much, ultimately unattractive. The old man smiled to himself and said: “After all, this is not the time when we fought the Western Chu ah, where is so much deadly blood and death?”

Yang Shenxing quietly looked at the battlefield movements, when the old man saw that privately flirted with his son as “3,000 iron horsemen” elite troops rushed out, nodded, Huchen at this time to release them to charge the formation, just right, Wenqi and the enemy’s battle losses are roughly two to three, one is Wenqi in the battlefield in the situation of a slightly favorable harvest is not decisive enough, did not immediately expand the results of the war, two, this group of enemy cavalry should be the first time, the enemy’s battlefield, the enemy’s battlefield, the enemy’s battlefield, the enemy’s battlefield, the enemy’s battlefield is not enough to expand the results. Secondly, this group of enemy cavalry should be the elite troops that West Chu spent a lot of blood and money to feed out, it was an attempt to use a victory to inspire the entire West Chu military heart. Yang Shenxing frowned, those three thousand riders were charging with such a huge advantage, but they were still so maudlin? The old man vision, three thousand ride in probably caught in a large pile of human and horse corpses, charging speed obviously reduced too much, poor horsemanship is part of the reason, more should be close to see so many a moment before the living life of the limbs and broken bones, to the shock. Less than half an hour, Polaris clamor cavalry dropped more than six hundred corpses, grandson Yang Wenqi’s cavalry has intentionally made a pursuit channel, while Yang Huchen always maintains an even speed advance, those three thousand riders after the initial discomfort, the fathers in the end, in the end, is the battlefield survived the meritorious generals, blood in the bones, only after a generation only, far from all thin, three thousand riders in the generals species of sons and daughters, in the close escort of the careful Under the protection of the personal escort, everyone fights for the first.

Yang Shenxing smiled and said softly, “Finally there is still a little bit of the way your grandparents’ fathers fought for their lives on the battlefield back then.”

Yang Shenxing held the parapet, and suddenly his face changed dramatically.

The earth shook.

This was not the kind of small-scale slight trembling brought about by the light cavalry of Thistle South.

Iron horsemen and horses with armor.

Real heavy cavalry!

Yang Shenxing is not not coveted that look at the shock of the heavy cavalry, just do not have excellent weight of the horse, not enough silver to support the maintenance, and the territories do not have a real plains can ride, one of the three missing, do not dream. Having a branch of heavy cavalry with more than a thousand men is an obsession that almost every powerful cavalry general can’t let go of.

Yang Shenxing grimaced, “If you don’t commit to the East Yu Plain and smash it here, do you really think that my old pawns in Jinan are paper mache?!”

A black torrent emerged from the field of view.

Yang Shenxing breathed a sigh of relief, it looked like a force to be reckoned with, but it was only a thousand or so riders, it couldn’t affect the big picture. The same is the physical strength of the raw army, it depends on Hu Chen’s three thousand light cavalry and the other party’s one thousand heavy cavalry, who is more narrowly defeated.

The young general Yang Wenqi naturally sensed the enemy’s heavy cavalry’s “entry into the battlefield” earlier than his grandfather Yang Shenxing.

He shook off the blood on the tip of his spear, and instead of recklessly forming a formation to block, he sent someone to send an order to the 3,000 horsemen who were “lying on the back of the horse to pick up the battle” to immediately retreat, and make sure not to turn around and retreat, but rather to make a passage for his father Yang Huchen’s 3,000 light horsemen. This of course also facilitates the enemy’s heavy cavalry charge, just the lesser of two evils, better than these three thousand horsemen wrapped up in it, not only to be heavy cavalry to kill through, but also to hinder his father’s three thousand horsemen’s charge, when their own party of six thousand people into a pot of gruel, can withstand each other this red armor iron cavalry’s huge charge? Yang Wenqi looked at those a lot of focusing on the gun to stab the fallen enemy cavalry dude, some people also laugh intentionally poke empty lance, teasing in their hooves under the enemy soldiers in a mess to avoid, Yang Wenqi more than anger, fast horse forward, a gun gently stabbed a family boy’s armor, angrily shouted: “Look up to see the front! If you don’t want to die, retreat as ordered!”

The good thing is that a thousand heavy cavalry rushed out, it is impossible to stare at them scattered in the battlefield of five thousand riders to chase, in Yang Wenqi under the light cavalry and the family’s son of the protection of traction, most of them finally succeeded in retreat, but there are still hundreds of riders rushed in the forefront of the “iron horsemen” a bit of a daze, and wake up, but also only in a straight line turned around to escape, leaving that more than a thousand heavy cavalry a big one, and the family’s son of the “Iron Cavalry” a big one, and the family is not a big one. Leaving the more than 1,000 heavy cavalry with a big swinging back. Yang Wenqi’s eyes are red, and he saw a few familiar figures in the hundreds of riders from afar, these guys are all living in Tai’an City in the top of the Duke and Marquis title of the high family residence, Yang Wenqi clenched his teeth and let a few of the old soldiers around him who followed his grandfather to fight together with him in the north and the south, and led three hundred of the cavalry of his personal guards to go up and save those bastards.

Yang Wenqi retreated around an arc, tears streaming down his face, unable to bear to look at the scene behind him.

Yang Huchen rode ahead and shouted angrily, “Kill!”

Yang Shenxing’s eyes widened, his hands holding onto the railing couldn’t stop trembling, and his veins rippled.

With the surfacing of a thousand heavy cavalry, another thousand light cavalry on each of the left and right flanks rushed out in the distance.

Yang Shenxing is not an immortal, he can’t change the situation of the battle that is about to start. Without him having to say much, the old soldiers of Jixinan began to form up under the leadership of their respective generals to reject the horses.

A team of light cavalry of the sons of the world’s families managed to avoid the flood of charging heavy cavalry impact, they are still unable to catch up with the advance of the tide of this black tide as they frantically retreated from a straight line outside the line, and could only watch from the side as the heavy cavalry army kept leaping over their shoulders.

The heavy cavalrymen and horses were clad in armor, carrying only their lances, their expressions invisible, and silent except for the dull hoofs of their horses that thundered like thunder.

Then on the flanks of the battlefield they saw that countless Ji Nan cavalrymen were hit by the heavy cavalry, and many of the war riders were knocked out even with their horses.

There were even two old pawns of the Yang family who were pierced through with a single shot, while their lances only scratched a little spark on the armor of the enemy riders and slid away, only those who were lucky enough to hit the seams of the bright red horse armor with their lances picked their enemies off their horses, but those who were even doomed to fall off their horses, their lances were still knifing through tofu like they were cutting it, and they easily stabbed the frontal Jixian South Cavalry to shreds.

From afar, rows of corpses that died instantly on top of the horses were blatantly knocked off, crashed to the ground, and then trampled into mush on the boards.

Yang Shen Xing face is incredible, wide-eyed, actually their own side is not a battle? How difficult is it to train a heavy cavalry that is not a liability on the battlefield but can make a difference?

Yang Shenxing was furious, half because of the “surprise” that the remnants of Western Chu had brought to him as the Great General of An Guo, and half because of the contempt that the other side had for choosing to use the old pawns of Ji’nan as a breakthrough.
