Chapter 65 The Hero of the World (3)
Chapter 65: The World’s Heroes (Three)
Here is the main battlefield of the Sorghum River.
After a heavy rain passed, the muddy battlefield and the soarghum river water made the two sides, at least Xiao Yan, actively silence the action of the Song Dynasty to block the battlefield temporarily.
A heavy rain made the camp where the Shenwu Changsheng Army, the Shengjie Army and the Baiye Army also turned into a mud. The black soil in the Youyan Land absorbed water and looked black and oily. The drainage ditches dug around the camp just flowed. The stream passing through the center of the camp seemed to have turned into a small river, which seemed much wider.
Taking advantage of the sun, I took out all the clothes, quilts, military, horses, grass and other clothes to dry. Looking at the dark clouds piled up in the north, everyone knew that this autumn rain could not be light. The weather was not right where the war passed, and the weather was not right. The land of Youyan was famous for its high and cool autumn atmosphere, but now it seems that it is still a summer with drizzling rain!
The fast horse ran through the middle of the camp, splashing large mud dots. The little officers who were hanging their battle robe on the interlaced guns jumped away as if they were flying, pointing at the horse knight and laughing half-seriously and half-jokingly: "You thief and birds are riding for no reason in the camp, you know what the crime is!"
The knight immediately smiled and turned around and cursed: "You can see that you are holding the flag! You can sling your horse for no reason, and you can peel my skin!"
"What kind of bird happiness is it? Or is it God telling you that this bird rain will not come again?"
"It's okay for us to light cavalry. In this kind of weather, the white bars and iron pieces are afraid that half of them will be buried in the ground when they rush into the formation!"
The knights had already gone far away, and the voice just floated over: "The army of Taiwei Liu is not far away from us. As soon as the army arrives, we will kill the Gaoliang River!"
Several young officers looked at each other, and the thoughts that came to their minds were all average: "Liu Yanqing changed his sexual desire, and he came here so quickly this time!"
As soon as the thought changed, everyone ran towards their camps as if they were madly pressing their helmets. The army came so quickly, which showed how strong the Northern Expedition Army of the Song Dynasty had for this decisive battle and how eager they were to conquer the final result. Although Liu Yanqing came over to help Xiao Yan as a backer, who was not jealous of the Northern Expedition Army? Everyone had to prepare quickly and everything had to be prepared. Needless to say, the unlucky comrades sent to cover the northern flanks. Since this great achievement was first, it could not be snatched by others!
"The army of Taiwei Liu has arrived!"
"The army of Taiwei Liu has arrived!"
The camp suddenly became boiling. Everyone was running around, but couldn't help looking at the big tent where Xiao Yan was.
After the men who supported Ma Kuoyue Fei were sent out, Xiao Xuanzan, who had been energetic since he set out from Zhuozhou, seemed a little strange in the past two days. He had always seemed a little depressed. It turned out that Xiao Yan took Han Shizhong to Gaoliang to Henan for a week during the inspection, showing his Xiao'er banner to the Liao people on the other side. He has rarely been there these two days.
It turned out that Xiao Yan was always smiling on his face when he was patrolling the camp. The civil servants of the Song Dynasty led the army, and few of them pretended to be rude to the warriors. He wanted to use every action to show that these scholars and officials and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty tattooed on their faces were two different creatures.
Xiao Yan was always wearing armor, and could laugh and scold the soldiers at the bottom, and say a few words of the strange-tongued Song Qiuba swearing. Hitting the shoulder of the soldier and kicking the soldier's one is an ordinary move. In addition, his deeds of daring to lead the way, it is not necessary to say that the morale of the army is deeply appreciated.
But Xiao Yan looked much more gloomy these days, and he took Han Shizhong to patrol the camp and said less, let alone those actions of the soldiers who expressed affection and appreciation. It looked a bit like his civil servant status. No one knew what happened to Xiao Xuanzan - was it because of the great achievements of Xuan Shuai's revival of Yanjing that had been promised by the commander Xuan to recover Yanjing, and what happened now? Or did Ma Kuo and his side insist on doing it, forcing him to divide his troops, which made Xiao Yan secretly feel depressed?
Now that Liu Taiwei's army has arrived, the Northern Expedition Army will gather in Gaoliang River, and it is about to fight with Xiao Gan, who has no fighting spirit. At this time, Xiao Yan is absolutely depressed. The most elite troops of the Song Dynasty are all counting on him to lead the troops to kill the city of Yanjing, which is marked in history that he will become a figure in the Lingyan Pavilion in the fourth year of Xuanhe!
Xiao Xuanzan, the whole army is watching you now!
In the eyes of everyone, they saw the guards standing in front of Xiao Yan's tent suddenly standing solemnly, and then they saw Xiao Yan strode out, and Han Shizhong followed closely behind him. Both of them looked relaxed, as if they were not as excited as the arrival of this good news.
The soldiers did not take care of Xiao Yan's expression, and everyone was closer to the direction of the big tent. Even the Baiye Army camp opposite the stream was crowded with people. I don't know how many people rolled out of the tent, but just looked at this place from afar.
Xiao Yan and Han Shizhong both stood in the direction of the cavalry running, pressing their swords. The cavalry were sent out to contact Zhuozhou. At this time, there were more than ten steps away from Xiao Yan. Several horsemen jumped off the horse and bowed to the ground happily: "We have seen Xiao Xuanzan, the orders of Han Yuhou! Liu Taiwei's army set out from Zhuozhou ten days ago, traveling day and night. Now we have arrived less than twenty miles away from our camp! We have already joined the vanguard of the Huanqing Army, and received the orders of Liu Taiwei General. The army will arrive immediately! Please ask Xiao Xuanzan to send troops to protect the army into the battlefield to set up camp. Liu Taiwei is even more eager to discuss the decisive plan with Xiao Xuanzan for a while!"
A low cheering sounded below, and several officers who were close to each other were so excited that they looked at me and I looked at you. They almost laughed out loud. It goes without saying that Liu Yanqing came so quickly, and contacting Xiao Yan was so polite, which made it even more obvious that Xuan Shuai’s promise to Xiao Xuanzan had not changed yet!
The opportunity to destroy the enemy, defeat famous cities, and return home in glory is right in front of you!
Xiao Yan snorted, but he didn't say anything for a while. His eyes were heavy, and he didn't know what he suddenly remembered again at this moment. He was a little lost.
Xiao Yan himself knew that his mood was wrong now, very wrong. Last night, when thunder sounded above his head, he was awakened and sat blankly until dawn.
Maybe I had a nightmare.
But I can't remember what this nightmare is. But in the dream, there are countless blurred faces one after another, and the history I am familiar with is completely unrecognizable. There seems to be a voice shouting: "You can't change all this, you can't change it!"
Everything was developed on the track he expected. Xiao Gan in front of him had no intention of fighting. The idiot could see that although he was commanding the army, he was no longer as determined and fierce as he was under Yizhou City that day. There was no change behind him, and Tong Guan was still supporting him. No change happened, and great achievements were right in front of him, and it seemed that he could already touch it. His fame and wealth in this era were already quite realistically close to him... Even with Ma Kuo and Yue Fei, he had already done his best to do justice. For a possibility that a historical book did not record, he divided his strength to make achievements to help them.
What else should I do? Why is my heart so heavy? Could it be that it was because of the words of Han Wu and Qiu Ba that he smelled the Jurchen Tartars going south?
The chasing cavalry in front of him half kneeled on the ground and loudly returned the good news. The sound came into Xiao Yan's ears, but he felt like he couldn't catch anything in a daze.
Han Shizhong followed Xiao Yan, looking at the look of the surprise of the Chuanqi, and countless eyes projected by the soldiers under his command, quietly poked Xiao Yan: "Xuan Zan, Grand Marshal Liu is here!"
This action woke Xiao Yan up. The scenery in front of him rushed towards him. Countless faces were looking at him with an extremely eager expression.
These are the essence of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty and the most elite field forces of the Great Song Dynasty. After the defeat of Baigou River that day, he led the fierce men among them to resolutely cross the north. He recovered the two states of Zhuoyi, and changed the situation in the Youyan land in one fell swoop! He even took them all the way to Gaoliang River, and the last, most dazzling achievements were already in front of everyone!
These simple and brave soldiers followed themselves to capture Zhuozhou and attack the Liao army under Yizhou City, but no one retreated. What they promised them was a great victory that laid the final victory in this Northern Expedition and left a name in history!
What else do you need to think about?
He slowly looked around, and the expressions of the surviving soldiers of the Shengjie Army who followed him first were the most excited. Xiao Yan had no doubts. When he rushed straight to Yanjing, as long as he gave his order, even if there was a sea of swords and fire in front of him, these soldiers would roar forward without hesitation!
But Ma Kuo and Yue Fei are not among these people...
Fucking Ma Kuoyuefei, I only need Yanjing now, is there any other way out?
Looking back, Han Shizhong and Zhang Xian were all as smug as iron, and he didn't say a word when he pressed the sword.
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth suddenly and ordered loudly: "Bring a horse!"
The guard behind him had already tensed all over and immediately led Xiao Yan's tall white horse over. Xiao Yan didn't say a word, turned over the horse, pulled the reins of the horse and strangled the mount, shouting loudly: "Master Liu has arrived! The entire army of our Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition Army has arrived! Famous ministers and generals will meet in one place and in front of the Gaoliang River! Brothers, follow me, Xiao Yan, from Baigou River to here, and finally waited for this moment! I, Xiao Yan, will live up to everyone and lead you to Yanjing City and completely settle the land of the Youyan straight! Now we have only one goal in front of us...
Yanjing! Yanjing!!”
Every soldier's whole body was tense at this moment, and as Xiao Yan's last word came out, the same sound erupted.
"Yanjing, Yanjing!"
The sound of shouts swept across the camp like a tsunami. The war horses in the camp seemed to be infected with this atmosphere, and Herodian only roared forever. I don’t know if Xiao Gan’s army in Sorghum Hebei heard these shouts!
Han Shizhong and Zhang Xian also took the reins handed over by their guards and turned over the horse. Facing the cheering sound of the mountains and roaring, Han Shizhong gave out a gentle breath and shouted loudly. His voice was louder, and he could hold two or three people alone. He looked like a scheming general. Zhang Xian's face turned a little pale, looked north, turned around and sighed, and raised his arms to shout with everyone.
Xiao Yan turned around and glanced at Han Shizhong and Zhang Xian like lightning. He turned his head and grinned again, and his tone relaxed: "Taiwei Liu and the others came so fast! It seems that they are also envious of our great achievements! Now I will welcome Taiwei Liu! Although we and Taiwei Liu are not subordinate to each other, we have to sell three points of face, right? Don't worry, no one can take away this contribution, Yanjing is ours! During the military discussion, you Xiao Xuanzan will naturally not give in and firmly hold the Pioneer's seal! But when you run to Yanjing, you guys will not run two legs, so you guys will not be blamed for six legs!"
A burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the camp. Everyone looked at each other and was eager to try it to the extreme. Xiao Yan didn't say much, but just rode out of the crowd like a horse. The soldiers around his tent made way out. Behind Xiao Yan, Han Shizhong and Zhang Xian also followed like a dragon with his personal guards.
Wherever I went, there was just a sound of cheering and shouting.
Zhang Xian followed Xiao Yan tightly. When he was passing by the crowd, he saw Niu Gao's figure flashing. In the past, Niu Gao had already squeezed in front of him and shouted louder than anyone else. But today, although he also came out of the tent, he was hiding behind him, with his mouth open and his face open, just looking at Xiao Yan's back.
His brothers and Zhang Xian had their eyes bumped into each other. Niu Gao's chest was undulating, as if he wanted to say something. Zhang Xian just had a white face and shook his head gently. Then he rushed by like flying.
Xiao Yan's figure was at the front, from beginning to end, he didn't look towards Gubeikou and took a look.
Chapter completed!
