Southwest Wind and Cloud Chapter 116 Another old friend, so many old friends
At Wang Jian's request, Yi Tianhang led his troops and three thousand Jiangyang soldiers to the Fengshibao defense line to assist Qin Zhanxiong. Before the army could set out, they were blocked in the big tent.
"Brother Yi, when I came to Jiangyang, I didn't know how to call my younger brother." Yi Tianhang knew who he was without even looking. Only Ran Yunhan from the Juedao Sect could be so frivolous.
Ran Yunhan strode into the tent, followed by Qingcheng sect Liao Yuheng, Ling Qingshuang and familiar disciples of the two sects. Yi Tianhang hurriedly greeted everyone.
"Brother Yi defeated the barbarian army in Wuling and his fame spread far and wide. My ears are getting calloused when I hear about it in the Jiangyang Camp." Liao Yuheng joked.
Ling Qingshuang followed Liao Yuheng, but hesitated to speak. After not seeing her for half a year, this girl became more and more reserved.
"Brother Liao, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still as beautiful as a tree in the wind." Yi Tianhang looked at Liao Yuheng who had an injury on his left arm and was tied with linen, and then looked at Ling Qingshuang.
Ran Yunhan had always admired Yi Tianhang. Before Ling Qingshuang could speak, he pulled Yi Tianhang and asked, "Brother Yi, please tell me about your heroic feats in Wuling. How did you defeat the barbarian army? How did you defeat the barbarians with dozens of cavalry?"
Breaking through the barbarian army’s formation?”
Liao Yuheng laughed and shook his head, thinking: "This kid's temper can't be changed."
Ling Qingshuang was interrupted by Ran Yunhan, her pretty face flushed with anger, she stamped her feet and said: "Brother Yi was seriously injured in Wuling, you just don't care about the injury, and you drag brother Yi to tell you about the tragic war, it's simply
That’s unreasonable!”
Ran Yunhan was a little embarrassed when he heard this, laughed twice, and replied: "With Brother Yi's skill, the injury is nothing, isn't this good?"
Yi Tianhang had military orders with him and did not want to delay too much, so he said: "I heard that Senior Shangguan and Senior Liu are also here. How about you lead me to visit the two seniors?"
"Uncle Shangguan and Uncle Liu have been out of camp for a few days." Ling Qingshuang answered hurriedly, staring at Yi Tianhang with a pair of big eyes.
"Oh? The two of them left the camp alone? No disciples followed them?" Yi Tianhang asked.
"Well, they didn't say much before they left. They just said that we should stay in Dazhai and obey General Wang's orders." Ling Qingshuang replied neatly.
"I'm afraid that the place the two of them are going is extremely dangerous." Yi Tianhang said worriedly.
"Brother Yi, don't worry. Even if you encounter danger, with the skills of the two uncles, if you want to escape and return to the camp, even tens of thousands of troops will be helpless." Liao Yuheng said with confidence.
Everyone was chatting and reminiscing about old times, but Hu Kang outside the tent asked: "Sir, the troops, horses, and food and grass have been prepared. When will we start our troops and go to Dongda camp?"
Yi Tianhang clasped his fists at everyone in the tent and said, "Everyone, I have military orders with you, so I can't accompany you any longer."
"Brother Yi, take care!" Liao Yuheng and others stepped forward and said.
"Everyone, take care!"
Yi Tianhang left the tent, followed by Liao Yuheng and others.
The disciples of the Qingcheng Sect and the Juedao Sect stood outside the tent, watching Yi Tianhang. They saw the man holding a long axe, wearing iron armor, and a tall horse! He looked heroic and majestic, and hundreds of cavalry behind him were marching even more neatly.
Uniform and powerful, he is indeed a battle-hardened warrior!
Ling Qingshuang's eyes were red and full of reluctance. They had just met, but they had to say goodbye again. She didn't know when they would see each other again.
Liao Yuheng said thoughtfully: "Brother Xiangyi is not only outstanding in martial arts talent among our generation, but also the commander of the army is far beyond the reach of others. He is truly a genius!"
"Of course, the people I admire are not comparable to ordinary people?" Ran Yunhan was extremely proud.
"Wish Lieutenant Yi a victory!" Everyone shouted in unison. Hearing this, Yi Tianhang turned around, clasped his fists, and led his troops to set off.
Yi Tianhang left the Tangting Shanxi Camp and marched in the direction of Fengshibao. The east and west camps were tens of miles apart, and there was no road connecting them. They just walked along Tangting Mountain. The terrain at the foot of the mountain was fairly flat and open, allowing for marching.
This open land stretching for dozens of miles from west to east is bordered by the Tangtingshan Mountains to the north and hills and woodlands with a radius of hundreds of miles to the south. Although there are beacon towers along the way, no one can guarantee whether the barbarian army will risk setting up an ambush.
Arrive at Qin Zhanxiong’s camp before nightfall.
"Hu Kang! Send out scouts to ensure that our army has a clear path forward!"
After traveling for about twenty miles, it is already past noon. According to this marching speed, we can successfully reach Dongdaying before evening.
"Sir, this is not good." Hu Kang came to report.
"explain."
"Your Majesty, the scout did not return after the time limit." Hu Kang said.
"No one came back?" Yi Tianhang asked uneasily.
"Yes, my subordinates sent out eighteen cavalry scouts, but no one returned!"
"Send the order! Stop the march and form a formation on the spot!" Yi Tianhang thought to himself that he was really afraid of what could happen.
After the general gave the order, these thousands of people quickly formed a defensive formation with their backs to Tangting Mountain.
Not long after, I saw smoke and dust billowing from the southeast, and it was clear that the barbarian army was coming. The leader of the barbarian general was Solan!
The two armies were separated by a stone's throw. Suo Lang rode out of the formation and shouted loudly in front of the formation: "Yi Xiaowei, I haven't seen you for many days!"
Yi Tianhang drove his horse forward and said loudly: "No wonder I couldn't find any trace of leader Suolang in Wuling. He fled to Jiangyang."
Suo Lang did not continue, but said directly: "I have been waiting here for a long time!"
"Oh? It seems that we, Southern Qi, have your barbarian secretaries?" Yi Tianhang guessed after thinking about it that someone had leaked his whereabouts.
"When I heard that the Wuling Tigers arrived in Jiangyang, I knew that you and I would definitely decide the outcome. If I didn't kill you, I really couldn't feel at ease. For the sake of our clan, I can only apologize.
Captain!" Suo Lang made no secret of his murderous intention.
"Okay, Leader Suolang is also a serious problem for me, Da Qi, and I will get rid of you as soon as possible!"
Yi Tianhang and Suo Lang stopped talking nonsense and returned to their respective formations.
"Hu Kang, lead the cavalry to stand by in the rear! Yan Chun and Shan Yue command the Jiangyang army to form formations and prepare to engage the enemy!" Yi Tianhang issued military orders one after another.
In the barbarian army formation, a barbarian general next to Suo Lang stepped forward and said: "Chief, this battle can be left to the last general!"
Suo Lang watched the Qi army's military formation change and said: "The other side is on the defensive waiting for our army to attack. If our army cannot defeat it in a short time, when reinforcements from the east and west camps of the Qi army arrive, we will not be able to escape!"
"Don't worry, chief. Our army has eight thousand warriors. Qi's army only has three or four thousand. The general will be able to defeat them in one fell swoop!" said the barbarian general, patting his chest.
"The deaths of Dawa, Quli, Danba and 30,000 soldiers in Wuling have a lot to do with this general. Rondo, don't underestimate the enemy. I am ambushing you here today. You must get rid of this person! That's all.
You lead the infantry to attack the formation, and I will lead the cavalry to raid the formation to see how it changes!" Solan said.
"The last general takes command!"
The trumpet sounded, and more than 7,000 barbarian infantry and archers steadily approached the Qi army's formation.
Yan Chun, Shan Yuejiu and Tianhang fought for a long time, and they were already familiar with their tactics. They took the bows and crossbows to shoot first, and the spears and shields followed behind. The military formations were changed as easily as arms and fingers.
Seeing that the two men's command was flawless, Yi Tianhang led his cavalry with crossbows to charge out from the left side of the formation. It was time to test the results of Jiang Guangli's training.
Longduo's army was in close combat with Yan Chun and Danyue. When they saw the Qi army's cavalry coming out, they hurriedly ordered their flanks to change formations and be on guard.
Suo Lang had already anticipated Yi Tianhang's tactics, and with another trumpet, nearly a thousand cavalrymen from the barbarian army came over with Suo Lang. In this battle, Suo Lang was determined to put Yi Tianhang to death, so the whole army pressed forward with full force.
Already.
When Yi Tianhang saw Suo Lang leading his barbarian cavalry towards him, he grinned and said secretly: "I'm afraid Suo Lang's plan is in vain. Among the hundreds of cavalry, only Hu Kang and other fifty cavalry guards are lances, and the rest are all bows."
Riding, crossbow cavalry! Using light cavalry against crossbow cavalry, isn’t this looking for death?”
Yi Tianhang did not attack Longdo's flank. He believed that Yan Chun and Shan Yue could persist until he defeated Solang. Yi Tianhang concentrated on Solang's light cavalry and secretly estimated the range of the crossbow.
"Sir, the enemy cavalry has entered the range of my bow and arrow!" Hu Kang reminded.
"A volley of bows and cavalry! Detour to the right, and the crossbow cavalry is ready!" Yi Tianhang shouted.
The four hundred bow and crossbow cavalry under Yi Tianhang were rebuilt from the remnants of the Zizhong Army. The archers and crossbowmen have practiced riding skills for several months, and they are quite usable. The infantry are somewhat unsatisfactory. Riding skills are easy to learn.
, but bow skills cannot be mastered overnight, so Yi Tianhang issued a light crossbow to each of the infantrymen. After only more than a month of training, Yi Tianhang was not sure about the level of individual cavalry shooting.
I just hope that the whole army's salvo can be somewhat accurate.
After giving the order, hundreds of arrows were shot out from behind by Yi Tianhang, scattering towards Suolang's cavalry formation.
Suolan was shocked and hurriedly waved his sword to block, but the barbarian knights beside him were caught off guard. Dozens of them were hit by arrows and fell off their horses. Solan shouted: "Keep the formation, rush over and fight in close combat!"
As soon as Suo Lang finished speaking, he saw Yi Tianhang leading his troops to turn to the left, revealing the flank of the cavalry formation. Suo Lang shouted that something was wrong. Before he could speak, he heard the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air, and hundreds of crossbow bolts flashing with cold light.
The barbarian cavalry came shooting, and countless of them fell off their horses.
"Crossbow Cavalry!" Suo Lang thought secretly in his heart. Although Suo Lang looked calm, his heart was in turmoil.
"How could the bow cavalry and crossbow cavalry, which travel across the northern land and compete with the foreign tribes in the north, appear in this Shu land!"
Although Suo Lang found it unbelievable, the facts were indeed before his eyes. Who would have thought that after a month of training, Jiang Guangli would actually develop a crossbow cavalry that could move like the wind!
"Although the level of cavalry shooting of the individual soldiers is a bit appalling, at least the accuracy of the salvos fired by these hundreds of people is just okay." These were Jiang Guangli's original words.
At that time, Yi Tianhang thought, isn't this nonsense? After estimating the range, wind direction, enemy movement trajectory and distance, hundreds of people are shooting in that general direction. Can they miss? Grab a handful of stones and throw them into the crowd, and they can still hit it.
There were quite a few people there.
"Detour! Don't engage in battle with the barbarian cavalry!" Yi Tianhang shouted loudly.
Seeing that Yi Tianhang was unwilling to fight at close range, Suo Lang had no choice but to lead his troops in pursuit, but was suppressed by Yi Tianhang's crossbows. The number of casualties increased. Although the morale of his warriors was still good, many of the horses were wounded by arrows.
It affects the leg strength of the war horse.
Yi Tianhang hung Solang behind him like a kite and galloped past the rear of Rondo's military formation. He fired volleys of bows and crossbows from time to time, killing many barbarian infantrymen and scaring Rondo into panic.
Unexpectedly, it was a mess.
Suo Lang saw that Yi Tianhang's cavalry could not catch up, so he turned back to attack Yan Chun. Shan Yue was on the flank of the formation, but was turned back by Yi Tianhang and fired at random.
Chapter completed!
