Chapter 55: Swearing to the Master (12)

At the school outside Xiongzhou City, a similar scene was staged as Yanjing City.

The main force of the Huanqing Army, who arrived in Xiongzhou in advance, was originally part of the Jingyuan Army and the main force of the Shengjie Army, who were tens of thousands of troops, stood neatly on the flat ground outside Xiongzhou City. This time, the government made a lot of money and even the battle jackets on the Northern Expedition Army were replaced with brand new ones. Just these things made several routes busy.

The Song people's military formation was even more tidy than the Liao people's cavalry. They stood in the field, and countless spears stretched out like forests. When the autumn sun shone, it was like a sea of ​​steel covering the sky. There were more civilians watching these military forces from afar, standing full of pits and valleys. The Song people have been living in peace for a long time. How many civilians who came from all over the mainland have seen such large military academy viewing scenes, but they opened their mouths and couldn't speak.

Everyone was waiting quietly, and the generals of the Song Dynasty stood in front of the formation. Each of them looked like black iron. Even if the Huan Qing army, which was defeated so miserably last time, was also a strong army of the Western Army. Naturally, they had the dignity and pride of the first-class strong army in the Song Dynasty. If they were defeated so poorly, it would be fine if they were not resilient from now on. But suddenly, Xiao Yan appeared, who took the lead in crossing the north, turned the situation around, and had the opportunity to fight the northern expedition again. There were rumors that the Huan Qing army was still the main force in front of him this time!

It is enough for these soldiers of Huanqing Army to endure the rolling eyes of other Western troops. Now they have a chance to wash away their former shame, and the soldiers' blood and energy will naturally arouse them. Xiao Yan could only suppress the Liao people with hundreds of soldiers, so how could they not do the Huanqing Army? Not to mention that Liu Yanqing, the commander of the Huanqing Army, has become the commander of the entire army this time. He has obtained the benefits and has to sell his strength to boost the morale of the army. Now the Huanqing Army has been fully committed to making a move in the Northern Expedition again!

Because of this, the Song army formation was solemn and stern, and the spirit of unity against the enemy was even more than the Liao army!

While everyone was waiting quietly, they saw dozens of cavalry and horses coming like a dragon surrounded by more than a hundred white-legged soldiers of the Shengjie Army. Several knights were wearing green gusts, and under the gusts were Tong Guan's tall figure. Behind him, the old genies, Yao Gu, Liu Yanqing, and Ma Kuo, were all dressed in military uniforms and followed closely. The Song generals almost gathered here. In the field, the Song army's eyes were unconsciously looking for a strange figure. It was not until Tong Guan's right side saw a young general with a slender body, wearing imperial silver armor, and a red cloak floating high behind him that everyone was moved.

Is this person the Xiao Yan, who has become famous all over the world? This man is beautiful and looks like a gentle scholar, but he doesn't know why he has a dark face. Judging from his description, no one would have thought that he could actually be a person who could take hundreds of people and rush towards the Liao army with his teeth!

Does Xuan Shuai want to hand over the title of Youyan to him?

When the group of people rushed to the front, they saw Tong Guan shaking the reins violently, throwing away the follower, and rushing out of Luogai. He just turned around and waved to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan understood, and at this time he didn't care about the big wave of the tree. Anyway, he even did the stupid things he promised to ask for the Bai Jian soldiers, and now he was afraid of other things. He just followed Tong Guan without saying a word and rushed out, following him tightly.

The other generals slowed down their horse speed and looked at each other. Their faces had their own wonderful expressions and their thoughts were all turned. Only Liu Yanqing said, "Xiao Xuanzan's heavy responsibility in this trip, and Xuan Shuai values ​​him. That's what he deserves, that's what he deserves!"

Xiao Yan just urged the horse to gallop. He was too lazy to care about what others thought at this time. At the first moment, he felt tens of thousands of pairs of eyes cast on him. Among them, envy, admire, and question were mixed together. It made people just dazzled. Since there was no need to think about future things, then now he had to enjoy his own glory at this moment!

All this is not achieved by oneself or by one's ancestors. All of this achievement is bare hands and everything that one is familiar with is a thousand years away from everything one is familiar with!

The sky above my head is vast, and the soldiers and armors are like forests beside me, and tens of thousands of tigers are watching. At this moment, Xiao Yan never had such a clear conscience. No matter what kind of decisions I made or what stupid things I did, at least I am upright and live up to this new life!

As for the future, it’s just about moving forward desperately. Only in this era do I feel like living like a man!

Although Tong Guan was 68 years old, Dian Bing was still very agile on the horse. He and Xiao Yan were just running in front of the army, running from one end to the other. The eyes of countless soldiers just slowly followed their bodies and moved. When they rushed to the end of the army and returned from the horse, they didn't know which officer gave the order first, and a shout erupted from the depths of the army: "Wansheng, Wansheng!"

The shouts then covered the sky and the earth. Every Song army soldier raised the weapons in his hands, but shouted loudly at the top of his lungs: "Wansheng, Wansheng!"

The civilians in the distance were also thrilling to see. Every move of the army, the steel waves surged like roaring. This was the Song army that they came to fight, struggled on the muddy road, and took out their energy to transport supplies! At this moment, all the hard work along the way seemed to have been reduced a lot. Some civilians also raised their fists and were infected and shouted: "Wansheng, Wansheng!"

Tong Guan and Xiao Yan ran back from the end of the army. Until the middle of the front of the army, Tong Guan's face shone brightly. Even though he had been much lazy over the years, before this army, he seemed to have found the majesty and heroic spirit that led the Western Army to spread the border for the Song Dynasty for thousands of miles, and made Xixia dare not cross Hengshan!

He raised his hand suddenly, and the cheers of the military formation suddenly stopped. Tong Guan glanced at the entire army and shouted: "We will revive the brigade and go north again, and wipe out the humiliation of Baigou's small setbacks! The officials are above to look down on their guards, and the children are below to win you on their own! Without saying much, they are trying to move forward. Some families are rewarding their official positions and those who cannot retreat. They must also know that military law is not a trick!"

After all, after being old, Tong Guan felt that he could not catch up with his breath after a few words of roar. When he turned around, Xiao Yan had already rode forward with a stern face and stood side by side with Tong Guan. Everyone's eyes were almost sounding, and they turned to him.

Tong Guan pointed at Xiao Yan and shouted: "This is my great Song Dynasty Xiao Xuanzan! Zhuozhou said that he would surrender Guo Yaoshi, and he rode alone to Yelu Dashi camp, leading 400 troops to cross Baigou, seize Zhuozhou, and even the flags pointed westward. Xiao Gan, the king of the four Liao army, led tens of thousands of cavalry, and could not be Xiao Xuanzan's attack, but only won the panic north... Now Xiao Xuanzan is the vanguard of our army again! Yanjing is not worth a shot!"

After boasting for Xiao Yan, Tong Guan turned his head and laughed at Xiao Yan: "Xiao Xuanzan, I have done everything I should do. Today I will let you, the great hero, announce how to swear to the army to go north? This situation was originally caused by you!"

Tong Guan smiled calmly, as if he didn't take the unhappiness just now in his heart.

However, Xiao Yan was too lazy to speculate on Tong Guan's thoughts at this moment.

A man’s fame and fortune is taken immediately, not seeking it in the song!

Everyone looked at Xiao Yan silently nodded to Tong Guan and walked to the front. Xiao Yan took off the silver helmet on his head and pointed at his nose: "I am Xiao Yan! I don't have three heads and six arms, no green faces and fangs, it hurts when I get beaten, and I vomit too much!"

A burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the military formation. Although Xiao Yan deliberately pretended to be close to Qiu Batu, everyone appreciated his willingness to be so frank. Besides, it hurts to be beaten, and even if you drink too much, these two sentences are really fresh.

Xiao Yan looked north: "The Liao army is very strong. Since I crossed north, I have been alive for a lifetime... I ran away when I saw me, and I didn't have such a good life when I was born! Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan are both heroes. There must be a fierce battle under the city of Yanjing... I can't do anything else, the only thing I can do is to live and die with my brothers. You rush forward and look around, I'm right beside you! The brothers who follow me north can testify, and the heroes who sacrificed their country are not far away, and they can also testify!"

The huge military formation was silent. Tong Guan immediately stood not far away from Xiao Yan, just looking at his back with a complicated expression.

Xiao Yan smiled faintly: "Why do you have to rob Yanjing back? Everyone is the Western Army and has tasted the suffering of the Western Xia invasion. Behind everyone is the family and country! In Hebei, it is also ordinary. At the time, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were separated from the Han soil, and the Liao people took this high-level power. I don't know how many times the invasion of the Western Xia! Now the Liao people are no longer there, and the Jurchens are rising. They are enemies who are ten times more vicious than the Khitan! We must rob Yanyun land and make this land a barrier for our Han people to avoid being plundered by the barbarians! I just hope that everyone can fight bloody battles for the Song Dynasty in the western front and for the Qi tribe behind them. In this Hebei land, we should not lose the power of the Western Army for a hundred years!"

He was hitting the horse hard, but he pulled the reins back hard. Xiao Yan was really good at this horse technique because it was really cool. At this time, the strong horse seized from the Liao people stood up high, Xiao Yan pointed his arm north and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Yanjing City is there, waiting for our Han family for 186 years! Hundreds of thousands of Han children who had thrown corpses in Youyan during the northern expeditions were waiting for us to settle Yanyun and return to their hometowns!

Go north, go north, and make the Western Army famous, from now until the end of the world, and always start and end with the Song Dynasty!”

On August 14, 2018, the fourth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, the Song and Liao sides, one in Xiongzhou and the other in Yanjing, swore an oath to fight at the same time, preparing to fight near the Gaoliang River to make a final decisive battle. The unpredictable dark clouds in the north were still hanging heavily above the heads of the Youyan Land.
