16, with courage to challenge it with odd victory

ps: Dear book friends, Shin-hsin has to go out in the past three days, so he may not have any extra time to write. He can only strive to make a big stamp in a day during the gap time. Please forgive me. Thank you for the recommendation and monthly votes you voted for, and Mr. Chengde and 14**504 for your reward.

Three days later, a soldier crossed the mountain road of Jiuji Mountain and entered Xiangling.

There were only a thousand soldiers, but they were all cavalrymen, holding spears and knives, and bows and arrows in the saddle. Yan Xing brought horses, Lin, Hutou, Yang Feng, Dian Wei and others, and also rode among the cavalry, while Zhai Hao took a team of light cavalry as the vanguard.

After entering the jurisdiction of Baibo Army, Yan Xing not only paid close attention to the thief in front of him, but also kept observing the situation in the jurisdiction of Baibo Army.

It has to be said that war is the best way to temper the army.

Compared with the ordinary Baibo army we saw last year, these ordinary Baibo army in Xiangling made rapid progress in military affairs. They not only set up posts on their own borders, but also had mobile scout cavalry.

As soon as Yan Xing's troops entered Xiangling, they discovered them.

Of course, what made Yan Xing most wary was that these Baibo troops began to re-cultivate large areas of abandoned fields in the territory.

Although the Baibo army invaded Hedong County as soon as the spring of this year, the scholars and people from these cities in the northern border fled in large numbers and rushed to the cities of Anyi in the southern border. The abandoned fields were ruined by the Baibo army, and occasionally the fields that sowed seeds were cut off by the Baibo army before the crops were ripe.

However, these fields have undergone some deep cultivation in spring. Although weeds have grown again because no one has cultivated them, we only need to burn the weeds once at this time and sow wheat seeds quickly. By next year, we can still harvest a batch of grain.

The deeper he went into Xiangling, the more Baibo troops saw, the more they sowed wheat on the fields, most of which were the elderly, weak, women and children.

At present, there are no far-sighted figures in Baibo's army. They are concentrated on organizing the small families of soldiers and the people who are smuggled to farm on these vacant fields on a large scale. However, the members of the Baibo army are all from Guizhou commoners. Although young and strong people go to hold swords and bows, the elderly, weak, women and children see these fat fields that were originally local tyrants, and now they are abandoned in front of their own eyes. So they spontaneously occupy the fields and start sowing and farming.

Although these spontaneous behaviors of rushing to plant wheat in the wheat field are not very efficient, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. Thinking that Bai Bojun in Yong'an, Yangxian, Pingyang and other places will be able to harvest a batch of spring grain after the spring of the next year, Yan Xing's brows frowned slightly.

I am not afraid of the large number of Baibo soldiers. What I am afraid of is that they can fully discover the huge human resources at hand. If they are allowed to continue to grow up like this, and if they want to clean up the Baibo army in the future, they will encounter a Baibo army that is skilled in war and has enough soldiers and food, which will greatly increase the difficulty of clearing out.

At the same time, Yan Xing also secretly warned himself that he would speed up the arrangements in Jiangyi. He would sooner or later have a big battle with the main force of the Baibo army next year.

With these things in his mind, Yan Xing's vision did not leave the front.

At this time, the frontman Zhai Hao's troops kept making whistles. The whistleblower crossed the sky, making a sharp sound that penetrated the open fields.

"Captain, Zhai Hao's troops have taken over the enemy!"

Ma Lin said to Yan Xing with excitement in his eyes that this was the signal they agreed to meet the enemy. It seemed that Zhai Hao's forward had already met the Bai Bo army who was coming.

The Baibo Army set up a sentry post on the border, and the black smoke from burning livestock manure had already rushed to the sky. Although the Baibo Army's sentry cavalry, as soon as it approached, was caught up by the Xiliang cavalry under Yan Xing's command and shot and killed one by one.

But the enemy has been in the country for so long, and there have been countless old, weak, women and children in the Baibo army. Even if the main force of the Baibo army is slow to react, it should have a large-scale reaction at this time.

Yan Xing led the cavalry to accelerate and soon caught up with the troops of the van Zhai Hao.

Zhai Hao was now carrying a hundred light cavalry to fight with the Baibo army cavalry who came first.

After the Huns and Baibo's army withdrew into Taiyuan County last year, Baibo's army used Zhaoyuze's terrain as a cover to plunder many cities in Taiyuan County, entangled the people, and its power began to grow again.

But the Huns could not use this method to strengthen themselves. After discussing with Hu Chuquan and others, Yu Fuluo decided to leave the Baibo army. In the early spring, he turned to join the troops stationed in Hanoi. Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, was in full swing, while Baibo army chose to make a comeback and return to Hedong County.

Although the Baibo army lost the help of the Hun cavalry, it suffered a loss and became more wise, and began to form a cavalry unit itself.

Although it seems that the cavalry of the Baibo Army is not very good at this time.

Zhai Hao brought one hundred cavalry, while the first cavalry of Baibo Army was more than 300 cavalry. Zhai Hao had few enemies and many enemies, but he was still at ease on the battlefield. Regardless of whether it was long-range bows and arrows or close-up fighting, Zhai Hao's hundreds of Xiliang cavalry all steadily overcame one of the cavalry of Baibo Army.

Not far away was the battlefield where people and horses were galloping and fighting in full swing. Dian Wei, who was following Yan Xing, was excited to see that he immediately asked Yan Xing for a fight.

"Captain, please allow me to go and help Sima Zhai and capture and kill the enemy cavalry chief!"

Looking at Dian Wei, who was as bearded as a halberd and had a majestic appearance, Yan Xing smiled in praise.

After Dian Wei was captured by Yan Xing and Xu Huang together, because his physical fitness was different from ordinary people, he quickly recovered his injuries. Yan Xing also took time to meet Dian Wei. At that time, he looked at Dian Wei who was still full of hostility, Yan Xing asked with a smile:

"Dian Jun is not angry about being captured. Although your two iron halberds are capable of competing with a hundred people, they can be above the battle formation, but can they be able to compete with a thousand people and ten thousand people? Although you can save your fellow villagers with your own bravery, can you save every soldier who has defeated the battlefield?"

After these two questions were thrown out, Dian Wei, who had always claimed to be extraordinary bravery, was speechless for a while. Yan Xing did not rush to recruit him, but treated him like a guest and left him in the army with courtesy.

Seeing that Yan Xing did not force him to surrender, Dian Wei treated him with courtesy again and again. This situation of doing nothing and eating wine and meat for nothing made him feel quite distressed.

So this time Yan Xing brought him to Xiangling. As soon as he saw Bai Bo's army, he immediately asked for a fight.

"Dian Jun Wuyong, today we can show off our skills!"

Yan Xing did not refuse Dian Wei's request for battle, but wanted to send his followers to join Dian Wei in battle, but Dian Wei was unwilling to do so. He asked for battle just to prove his courage in public. More followers would only make him more worried.

Seeing that Dian Wei was so persistent, Yan Xing couldn't force himself to make a request, so he asked him to come out of the battle.

Dian Wei received the order to go to battle. Although he was a single horse, he was not afraid. Instead, he was in a high spirit of fighting. He held a long horse halberd in his hand and rode his horse slowly out. His big eyes glanced at the battlefield not far away, and soon locked in the location of the cavalry commanding the Baibo bandits.

The goal was set, Dian Wei shouted loudly, galloped at the horse, held a horse halberd, and headed straight for the cavalry.

The cavalry of the Baibo army is now fighting with Zhai Hao's Xiliang cavalry. Even if the cavalry formations on both sides are like two dragons that intertwin each other, there are me and I and I, and I can't get rid of the enemy on the other side in an anxious manner.

Dian Wei aimed at the dragon tail where the Baibo army cavalry gathered. He controlled the horse with his legs, held a horse halberd, and attacked from left to right. Wherever the halberd went, people were leaning on the horse and overturned. The Baibo army cavalry who blocked the way did not have an enemy for a round, and Dian Wei quickly broke into the enemy formation.

Dian Wei, who broke into the enemy cavalry formation, was surrounded by the Baibo army at once. There were Baibo army in every direction. Some of the horses were facing him, while others had turned their heads in chaos.

Dian Wei didn't care. He was trapped in the enemy's siege and became more courageous. He shouted and waved his horse halberd. Several Baibo cavalrymen who tried to approach him were successively dismissed. One of the mounts' heads were even cracked by Dian Wei with a horse halberd. The horse's knights and war horses rushed to the ground in an instant.

At this time, the cavalry general of the Baibo army also noticed that this unstoppable enemy knight was rushing towards him and getting closer. Seeing Dian Wei looking at the battlefield and being so arrogant, the cavalry general of the Baibo army couldn't help but feel afraid. In addition to sending the cavalry around him to block Dian Wei, he also began to take several cavalrymen and want to evacuate.

"The thief leader stopped leaving. Chen Liudianwei is here. How dare you fight me!"

Dian Wei saw that the cavalry of Baibo's army plucked his horse and wanted to gallop in another direction. He was immediately anxious and shouted again on the battlefield, which scared the enemy mounts around him to neigh "heraldly".

Dian Wei, who swung his horse halberd, rushed into the formation, and furiously accelerated his cavalry to chase the Baibo army. However, there were many cavalrymen of the Baibo army who rushed over to block it. Dian Wei could not kill him for a moment. He saw that the Baibo army cavalry was getting farther and farther away from him again.

Dian Wei was furious and his eyes were full of tears. After killing a Baibo cavalry with one halberd, he caught a glimpse of the Baibo cavalry's back. He simply shouted again, waved his horse halberd, swept down two Baibo cavalry, forcing other Baibo cavalry to dare not step forward for a while.

Dian Wei seized the opportunity, drove his horse forward, and at the same time swung the horse halberd and threw it out in the direction of the Baibo Army's cavalry. The horse halberd was a heavy weapon and was not suitable for throwing. Dian Wei simply did the opposite and threw it out.

The Baibo cavalry general who had just exposed his back heard a strong wind whistling behind him. He didn't dare to turn around, but just wanted to continue riding his horse forward. Unexpectedly, the next moment, a horse halberd hit his back heavily. Even with armor protection, the Baibo cavalry general could not bear it after suddenly being hit with such a heavy blow. He felt that his back seemed to be about to crack. In the severe pain, he sprayed a mouthful of blood, and then screamed and slid forward and fell off his horse.

Dian Wei, who succeeded in one blow, was overjoyed. He roared to the sky, pulled out two iron halberds, drove his mounts, galloped towards the place where the fallen Baibo Army General was. The Baibo Army General who came to stop him saw him showing his might and killed his own cavalry in one fell swoop. All of them were frightened and let him escape the siege.

Dian Wei, who rushed out of the encirclement, rushed to the fallen cavalry general of Baibo. He shouted, jumped off the horse with two iron halberds in his hand, killed the Baibo soldiers who wanted to save his cavalry general. Taking advantage of the gap, he pulled out the ring knife, cut off the head of Baibo's cavalry general, tied his waist, got on the horse again, and then came out of the formation again.

"The one who killed the thief's leader is Chen Liudianwei!"

Dian Wei, who had obtained the head, did not forget to shout again when he was protruding from the enemy formation. Several Baibo cavalry who wanted to chase him were chased and turned around and turned backwards, and immediately threw the hand halberd and killed them one by one.

Killing the general and snatching the flag is like taking something out of your pocket!

Yang Feng, who was beside Yan Xing, saw Dian Wei entering the formation and then leaving the formation, and could not help but be deeply infected by Dian Wei's courage. He was also a guest in Yan Xing's camp. Seeing Dian Wei charge into the formation as if he had entered a state of no one, this also aroused his desire to make achievements in his heart.

"The lieutenant, please ask for your order to lead your subordinates to pick up Ying Dianjun and defeat the thief cavalry!"

"Okay, it's a blessing for Mr. Yang!"

Seeing his soldiers enthusiastically asking for battle, Yan Xing was naturally happy, and at the same time he had to sigh that in the era of cold weapons, a powerful general's charge in the battle was inspiring the morale of his soldiers.

Especially against bandits like Bai Bo Army, who have a large number of people but have a poor formation.

This is also why Jiang Shang had to drive the chariots to personally lead the troops in his seventies or eighties during the Battle of Muye. Before the Battle of Shi, Gao Gu of Qi had to inspire the morale of the Qi army, and to capture Jin soldiers and sell his courage.

Yang Feng, with a group of rangers who were also wearing armor, roared out. After receiving Dian Wei back to his own military formation, he entered the Baibo army cavalry again, and worked with Zhai Hao's cavalry to defeat and chase the defeated soldiers.

Soon, after leaving behind more than a hundred corpses and the heads of their cavalry, the cavalry of the Baibo army barely escaped from the pursuit of Zhai Hao, Yang Feng and others. The remaining cavalry of the Baibo army were like frightened birds, unable to fight again, and they all slapped their horses to escape from the battlefield and fled in a panic.

Yan Xing remained silent and was constantly exploring the battle situation. At this time, he saw the Baibo army's cavalry retreating, but the Baibo army and other cavalry arrived one after another. He was afraid that Zhai Hao, Yang Feng and others would chase them too deeply, and instead they would be cut off from both sides by other soldiers of the Baibo army, or directly encircled them. So he began to order the trumpet sound, and the cavalry began to slowly turn around and retreat.

Yan Xing and others began to retreat, while Bai Bo's army gathered three or four thousand soldiers and horses, and in turn began to pursue Yan Xing and others.

Because he saw that Yan Xing and others had only a thousand people, and the number was far less than that of him, the commander of the Bai Bo army, who led the troops, also ordered a full-speed pursuit, and he would have to leave these Western Liang cavalrymen who ran into his territory and swayed their teeth and claws to kill the soldiers.

But Yan Xing's side was full of cavalry, and the Baibo army, which was mostly faster than infantry, was obviously much faster. Therefore, although Bai Bo Xiaoshuai ordered the infantry to run with all their strength, they still couldn't catch up with Yan Xing's cavalry.

The cavalry of the Baibo Army had just been defeated, and the remaining cavalry could not effectively entangle and delay Yan Xing's cavalry. They were often killed and scattered by Zhai Hao and a group of light cavalry before they even approached.

The two sides chased and retreated, heading towards Jiuji Mountain.

During this period, the commander of the Baibo army led the troops also chose to stop chasing because they could not catch up with the enemy cavalry and were worried about the enemy's ambush. However, once they stopped, the Xiliang cavalry would return, relying on their horsepower to suddenly return around their infantry, and shot them with bows and arrows from afar, threatening their retreat. There was also a powerful general with a savage-like beard and halberd to break into the Baibo army formation that wanted to retreat. After slashing and slapping, he then slapped the horse and retreated. This cycle repeatedly killed many infantrymen of the Baibo army.

As a last resort, Bai Bo Xiaoshuai was furious and could only order to continue chasing, thinking to himself that only after driving the enemy to the foothills of Jiuji Mountain, infantry guarded the danger, and with the terrain, could the Xiliang cavalry be blocked from fighting and attacking.

When the Baibo army pursued and drove the Xiliang cavalry to the foothills of Jiuji Mountain, the formations of both sides were long and loose on the narrow mountain path.

Seeing the terrain, Bai Bo was frightened. At the same time, he saw that the Xiliang cavalry was restricted by the terrain and could no longer detour and threaten his retreat. So he left a small number of troops and horses to cut off the back and began to order other Bai Bo infantry to turn around.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of the horn suddenly sounded in all directions, and another army emerged from their way of origin. A large number of crossbowmen appeared on the cliffs on both sides, and powerful crossbow arrows shot towards the Baibo army crowd quickly.
