Pheasant County in Nanyang. It is said that during the reign of Duke Wen of Qin, a boy turned into a pheasant and established Pheasant County here.
Panlong Mountain is located 25 miles northwest of Pheasant County. There are few people in the area for more than 50 miles, so Hujiawu Fort has become the first choice for merchants to settle.
At the end of the morning, a group of people left Pheasant County and headed towards Hujiawu. The flags flying high were embroidered with the black word "Huan".
Yan Qiang sat lazily on the horse, feeling a little shaky. The two concubines given to him by the magistrate of Pheasant County to warm his bed last night were really impressive. If he hadn't heard Chen Xiancheng say at the banquet that the Yang family might have fled into Panlong Mountain. During the trip, Yan Qiang planned to stay in Pheasant County for a few more days.
This time I was ordered to come out. There were thirteen concubines sent by Nanyang County alone. Those nobles were afraid of being implicated by the Yang family, so they sent money and gifts one after another to inquire about the news. The property had already exceeded one million yuan, and With the help of the name of suppressing bandits, countless properties were collected.
Fighting desperately on the battlefield to earn fame, but making money so quickly, Yan Qiang felt that he had become enlightened. When the time comes, he will give some women and money to General Huangfu, and he, a sixth-grade general, will be promoted to fifth-grade.
Yan Qiang raised his head and looked in the direction of Hujiawu. At the banquet last night, both Magistrate Wang and Chen County Cheng showed their envy of Hujiawu's wealth. It seems that the Wubao occupied by this refugee is very rich.
With his horse whipped and his whip raised, Yan Qiang shouted loudly: "Brothers, hurry up. When we get to Hujiawu, pick up the good food and drink."
The soldiers burst into laughter. During this time, they followed General Yan Dundun. With his deliberate indulgence, he suppressed many unruly people, and all of them had something in their bags. It was a beautiful day.
After traveling twenty-five miles, we arrived at Hujiawu in less than an hour. The merchants along the road saw the army and were afraid to avoid it.
Yan Qiang is becoming more and more proud. He has soldiers and horses in his hands and cannot go anywhere these days. These thousand people came north with him and were well fed. They were all very happy when he talked about "suppressing bandits". They ate meat and let their brothers drink soup, so that their subordinates would be loyal to him.
Yan Qiang frowned when he saw the Hujiawu Fort standing in the mountain col. He originally thought that Hujiawu was just like the Wubao that he had destroyed a few days ago. It was just a small earthen fence. It lowered with a shout. Duoyi's car fell apart after being hit by the car.
The Hujiawu fort in front of us was no worse than the city wall of Pheasant County. There were many forts armed with guns and knives on the fort. There were actually ballistae on the surrounding piers. He led his troops here without any baggage. It may not be easy to capture Hujiawu.
The gate of Wubao Village was closed. Hu Lei stood on the wall of the dock and looked at the soldiers and horses approaching from a distance, feeling regretful in his heart.
His father asked him to hide in the mountains, but he happened to have purchased a new batch of porcelain. He was about to negotiate the price with Wei merchants and prepare to ship the goods before heading into the mountains. As a result, Jiangzhou soldiers and horses arrived first.
Yan Qiang thought about it and called a soldier to explain a few words. The soldier rode his horse to the foot of Wubao, raised his face and shouted loudly: "General Yan, the governor of Jiangzhou and the general of Liwu under the command of Nanjun Gong, is commanding the army." Come to apprehend the remnants of the Yang family, quickly open the gate of the village and welcome the army into the dock."
Hu Lei knew that if this group of officers and soldiers were allowed to enter the dock, they would immediately turn into bandits, burning, killing, and looting even more brutally than bandits.
Bracing his nerves, Hu Lei responded: "This military master, the fort is too narrow to accommodate a large army to rest. Please tell General Yan that there is no Yang family in the fort, and my servants are willing to send wine and meat to feed the army."
The soldiers threatened: "Be brave and prevent the officers and soldiers from apprehending the rebels. If you don't open the gate of the village quickly, otherwise the army will break through Wubao and be punished for being accomplices with the rebels."
Hu Lei's brows jumped. It seemed that this group of officers and soldiers were going to be tough. He looked at the neatly arranged officers and soldiers outside the Wubao. The number was about a thousand. Hu Lei calculated and found that there were 600 soldiers in the Wubao. According to the Wubao, And it shouldn’t be difficult to keep. qs
There are more than a thousand young men in the stronghold. They will definitely come for reinforcements after hearing the news that the army is attacking Wubao. There is no need to pay too much attention to these officers and soldiers.
Thinking of this, Hu Lei grimaced and said, "Hu Jiawu has always abided by the law and paid taxes to the government on time. If the official said this, he would turn a good man into a thief. Please leave as soon as possible."
"Good boy, if you have the guts, just wait and die." The soldier cursed, turned the horse's head and left.
Yan Qiang had a gloomy face. The Wubao in front of him became more difficult. Without siege equipment, it was almost impossible for these more than a thousand troops to break through the Wubao.
possible.
Just as he was hesitating, several horses galloped from the north. The knight saw an army in front of Wubao and reined in his horses to look at them from a distance.
The banner with the word "Huan" was as big as a bucket and could be seen clearly from hundreds of steps away. The knights turned their horses and left towards the way they came.
Yan Qiang squinted his eyes and looked at the group of people leaving. They looked like light cavalry from the army, coming from the north. Could they be Yang Anxuan's team.
Yang Anxuan's defeat of the Qin army in Luoyang has been widely spread by merchants. Although there are different versions of the legend, everyone is full of respect for this young general who defeated the large with the small and the strong with the weak, and regarded him as A new general star after the Feishui War.
As Yan Qiang expected, this group of light cavalry were reconnaissance cavalry sent by Yang Anxuan.
The Wei army crossed the river and left, and Luoyang settled down. Yang Anxuan returned to his preface, and together with Xin Gongjing went to the court to ask for merit for the soldiers who had made meritorious service.
As for paying for the casualties and burying the fallen soldiers in the Yanshi Martyrs' Tomb, these things depended on Xin Gongjing. After all, he was the governor of Henan, and Yang Anxuan could not overstep his authority.
The survival of Luoyang this time was due to the bloody battles of the soldiers, in addition to Yang Anxuan's troops coming to the rescue.
Xin Gongjing agreed with Yang Anxuan's proposal to increase pensions and bury the fallen soldiers in martyrs' tombs, and said he would implement them one by one.
The Yang family fled into Panlong Mountain. Yang Anxuan didn't have much time to waste time in Luoyang and had to take care of his family affairs as soon as possible. He is the prefect of Runan, the New Year is coming soon, and the government office also has a lot of things waiting for him.
However, before returning to Runan, Yang Anxuan wanted to recruit an army. This time, nearly half of the soldiers who accompanied him to rescue Luoyang were killed or injured. In particular, more than 200 soldiers of Anxuan's original army were lost, which made Yang Anxuan extremely sad.
He still has a long way to go to avenge his father, and the most important thing now is to replenish his troops. Huanxuan was sitting on Jing and Jiang, aiming at Yongzhou. He had more than 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and his strength was far beyond his own.
In this battle with the Qin army, many people performed bravely on the battlefield. Yang Anxuan wanted to recruit these people into his army.
After discussing with Zhao Tian, Yang Anxuan decided to recruit 2,000 troops in advance. Ruyang only had one county and could not afford to recruit more troops.
Nowadays, hundreds of industries in Runan are waiting for prosperity, and money and food are needed everywhere. Yang Anxuan has far-reaching plans, and he will not only focus on the immediate future.
After telling Yin Ji, Yan Ke, Pei Qiang and others to recruit troops in Yanshi, Yang Anxuan, Zhao Tian, Meng Longfu, Kuai En and others led two hundred light cavalry south to Panlong Mountain.
During the Battle of Luoyang, many war horses were captured from the Qin army, totaling nearly two thousand.
Horses are good things. Yang Anxuan told Yin Ji to take the horse with him when he returned to Xinxi. He accepted that it would consume too much.
Two hundred light cavalry and two hundred war horses were brought to transport supplies. Yang Anxuan brought two hundred sets of equipment for this trip.
Outside Yanshi City, the Qin Army's 2,000 armors were almost destroyed by sharp arrows. Afterwards, the battlefield was cleaned up and more than 1,100 sets of armors were pieced together, which made Yang Anxuan extremely happy.
The horse was so fast that it only took two days to get from Luoyang to Panlong Mountain. Yang Anxuan learned from the advance guard that there were Huanxuan's troops and horses outside Hujiawu, numbering about a thousand.
Yang Anxuan said with a ferocious smile: "Huan Xuan killed my father and uncle. If I don't avenge this revenge, I will not kill him as a human being."
Leaving twenty people to guard the baggage, Yang Anxuan led the other light cavalry towards Wubao.
Outside the Wubao, Yan Qiang heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves, his face turned pale, and he fought with infantry against light cavalry, losing but not winning.
"Form a phalanx, build shields, and wait for the enemy." A series of orders came from Yan Qiang's mouth.
These more than a thousand soldiers were elite. Before the arrival of Yang Anxuan's light cavalry, they formed a tight square formation. They were surrounded by dense shields, and their spears were placed on the shield wall, pointing diagonally toward the sky. The swordsmen and spearmen were in full formation, and the archers were ready to draw their bows.
Yan Qiang was at the center of the phalanx, squinting and watching the smoke in the distance carefully. Judging from the scale, the number of Qingqi could only be two to three hundred at most. Yan Qiang felt more at ease. As long as the Qingqi was not allowed to break through the formation, he would There is a chance to kill this group of light cavalry.
Two hundred steps away, Yang Anxuan saw the phalanx that was waiting for them, and loudly said to Zhao Tian beside him: "Zhao Tian, you and Meng Longfu lead a hundred people to the left, while Yu and Kuai En come from the right, outflanking each other to look for opportunities."
Hu Lei Station
On top of Wubao, I saw the light cavalry coming from the north divided into two teams, one on the left and one on the right, forming an arc-shaped circle, heading towards the phalanx.
Yan Qiang saw that the light horse was very skilled, moving as smoothly as flowing water, weaving around the phalanx left and right, and the rider on the horse bent his bow and fired arrows at the phalanx, which was no worse than that of the Hu cavalry.
"Tree shield, archers fight back," Yan roared loudly.
There were two hundred archers among the thousand people. After hearing the order, they shot at the Qingqi outside the formation.
The bows and arrows fired at the galloping horses were not accurate at all, and the light cavalry were all wearing leather armor, so the arrows had very little damage.
On the contrary, the phalanx was tightly guarded and could not move, and the shield wall could only block the outer circle. The archers inside became the targets of the light cavalry, and some people kept screaming miserably that they had been hit by arrows.
Hu Lei stood high and saw far away. The two streams of smoke gradually merged into a circle, and the square array in the circle was tightly trapped inside. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before defeat.
Yan Qiang secretly screamed that something was not good. In just one moment of incense, nearly a hundred of his soldiers were killed or wounded. He didn't know how many bows and arrows this group of Qingqi had brought with them. They couldn't just sit back and wait for death.
The square array was arranged under the Wubao, and the surrounding area was open for light cavalry to hire. Yan Qiang gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.
It is only a hundred steps away from Wubao. If the phalanx can be moved under Wubao, the light cavalry leaning against Wubao will not be able to attack from all sides. If it is really unable to resist, they will intimidate Wubao to open the gate of the village and enter the dock for temporary shelter. Wubao should Don't dare to offend your own family.
Thinking of this, Yan Qiang shouted loudly: "Transforming cone formation, move under the Wubao."
The shield wall expanded to the left and right, spreading out in a cone shape, covering the robes inside as they approached Wubao.
When Yang Anxuan saw that the phalanx was dispersed, he immediately hung up his bow and took the lead and charged towards the cone formation. On the other side, Zhao Tian, Meng Longfu and others also rushed towards the cone formation like sharp arrows.
Changing the formation at the last minute can easily be taken advantage of by the enemy. Yan Qiang was also prepared. When he saw two groups of light cavalry attacking, he raised his spear high and said, "Gather your spears, follow me to meet the enemy."
The general rushed forward without fear of death, arousing the bloodiness of the soldiers. The spears were densely packed like a forest, and spikes were erected layer by layer to pierce the Qingqi.
The Qingqi did not charge directly towards the spear, but the horse passed by lightly. With the momentum of the horse, the sword and the machete brought down a shower of blood, which the spear could not resist at all.
Yan Qiang gritted his teeth and rushed towards Yang Anxuan on horseback. Yang Anxuan was wearing black leather armor and holding a long spear, like a general commanding the army.
Yang Anxuan's eyes also fell on Yan Qiang. The two horses were facing each other, and Yan Qiang met the sword. Yan Qiang was almost knocked off the horse.
The cone formation behind him had been pulled to pieces by Qingqi. Yan Qiang did not turn his horse's head and fled southward.
The general fled and the team was immediately in chaos. Two-quarters of an hour later, more than 400 of the thousand-man team brought by Yan Qiang escaped, more than 200 were injured or killed, and the remaining 300 or so became prisoners.
Yang Anxuan rode his horse to the front of the Wubao and shouted loudly: "You are the governor of Runan, Yang Anxuan, please open the gate of the Wubao quickly."
Yang Anxuan had been to Wubao when he returned to Xinye from Zhongshan City, and Hu Lei had met Yang Anxuan once.
Looking at the majestic Yang Anxuan, Hu Lei hesitated for a moment and then ordered: "Open the dock door and welcome Governor Yang to enter the dock."
