Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 549 Are You Afraid Of Them?

Before Wuyang Pass.

A group of three to fifty Liangshan cavalry was resting in a small forest three or four miles away from Guancheng.Suddenly, I saw Wuyang Pass, the gate of the city was opened, and a general came galloping on his horse, wielding a double mace.One hundred and ten horse troops followed behind him.

When the Liangshan cavalry leader saw it, he screamed in surprise, and then shouted loudly, calling everyone.He picked up his weapon and jumped onto the horse with flying strides. His officers shouted and jumped onto the horse one after another!
Dozens of people shouted and shouted, urging the cavalry to get out of the woods.

On the open ground in front of Wuyang Pass, hundreds of cavalrymen attacked with thunderous force.The leader of the Song Dynasty, his face was as black as black paint and his body grew taller.Wearing an iron helmet on his head, a pair of iron chain mail on his body, lined with a Zao Luo robe, and tightly tied with armor tape.He was riding a black horse and carrying two four-cylinder iron maces.Isn't he Niu Gao who appeared in the book earlier?

This man originally fought with Zhong Xiang and Wang Qing on South Jingnan Road, but Lu Qian's army entered the Central Plains like a broken bamboo, and Liang Fangping's troops were urgently transferred to the northern line to garrison. Yangguan, this place is very important.

The leader of the Liangshan cavalry is an unknown person, but he is a bit arrogant to be the leader of the cavalry in the horse riding.

Exploring horses and riding horses are like scouts of later generations, they are the elite of an army.

A sinister smile flashed across the corner of this man's mouth, is this Zhao Song's Ma Jun?This time he followed the army to sweep the Central Plains, it was the first time he saw it, it was really fresh.There is actually a Zhao Song army who dares to take the initiative to attack them, and it is still a group of horse troops.

Holding the saber high, he stared at the incoming enemy with cold eyes.

They are not a combat force, and frontal charge is not the strong point of exploring horses.First of all, they don't have strong iron armor. Even if the weapons are only light weapons such as knives and bows, even the arrows are light arrows.Because it can shoot far!
Duty made them give up heavy armor and heavy weapons, and mobility was the first requirement for exploring horses and riding.But this team is not paying attention to Zhao Song Majun on the opposite side.

Don't say anything else, just look at the horses of the horse army on the opposite side, and they are inferior to them.

The man raised his sword and rushed over at once.Dozens of riders behind him shouted loudly and followed closely.The thirty or fifty cavalrymen faced twice as many enemies as themselves, but they showed no sign of retreating or timidity.This is because they have already formed a concept in their heads - Zhao Song's army is invincible. As long as our army charges, the opponent will be defeated.

This is not because the entire Liangshan Army is arrogant, but because the progress this time has been too smooth.Wherever they arrived, the army had already reached Wuyang Pass.Seeing that the entire Central Plains was completely taken over.

Niu Gao waved his mace, and when he saw that the opponent did not gallop away, he launched an attack.His face became even angrier, so crazy!Really crazy!
How many are there?How many do you have?
Don't mention the Wuyang Pass behind him, just say that there are a hundred riders behind him now.But was ignored by the thirty or fifty riders on the opposite side?

This simply treats our army as nothing!

This is a great disgrace to the soldiers.

Just as he was thinking like this, he saw a canopy of arrows shooting towards him, and a horseman behind him fell down in response.

The Song army's cavalry was not badly armed, and the arrows did not make any contribution.On the contrary, the commander of the soldiers beside Niu Gao also bent his bow and set up an arrow, and when the arrow was shot, a bandit rider on the opposite side tilted his horse's back in response, obviously he was hit by the arrow.But just as Niu Gao wanted to applaud, he saw the man who was hit by the arrow stretched out his waist, sat up straight, cut off the arrow on his shoulder with a knife, continued to wave his weapon, and rushed forward with a roar.

"How brave are the thieves?" Niu Gao couldn't help but hesitate.

Two armies meet!The formation of Niu Gao's horse army was actually smashed into pieces.Not to mention that the Liangshan cavalry are all survivors of a hundred battles, but those who can be selected as horse scouts, in terms of individual combat effectiveness, are not comparable to these cavalry under Niu Gao's men.The defensive power of cotton armor is not weaker than that of leather armor, but it suffers from the lack of that heavy weapon.But even so, the battle was still without suspense, and Niu Gao was deeply impressed by the fierceness of the Liangshan cavalry.

These people were wearing thin armor, which Niu Gao had never seen before. They looked very similar to cloth armor.But so brave.At this moment, he saw two thieves being knocked off their horses by swords and guns, and then they were slashing at the horses' hooves with their sabers.He has never seen such elite soldiers before.

"You damn bird, you almost killed me!" The commander of the personal soldiers rushed over, and the marks made by several sharp blades were clearly visible on the armor.The horse was replaced with a war horse. The horse under his crotch earlier had half of its butt cut open with a knife. It was not because he was lucky, but it was about to be broken.

The Liangshan cavalry on the opposite side turned around and got up without stopping, but did not make persistent efforts to rush over, because the Song army at Wuyang Pass saw that Niu Gao's situation was not good, so they had already blown their horns.And Niu Gao himself was brave and unstoppable, he broke the right arm of the leading team leader with one blow, and the team leader who was badly injured in the back disappeared straight away from the formation.The rest of the team will not go to fight with it.

Two cavalrymen of the Song Army brought a seriously injured Liangshan sergeant and threw them under Niu Gao's horse.The man's cotton armor had been pierced through, the wound was on his chest, bloody and bloody, his clothes were already stained red, his arms were broken, and one of his legs was also broken.People can't move, they can't even live.However, his eyes were wide open, but there was no trace of fear at this moment.His chest kept rising and falling, and blood kept spilling from his mouth.

The man wanted to open his mouth, but he opened it very small, let alone being able to speak.Niu Gao looked at this person coldly, he wanted to see a trace of weakness, a trace of pleading in this person's eyes.Unfortunately..., no!

"Send him a ride." Niu Gao said expressionlessly.

As soon as the words escaped his mouth, a smile appeared on the man's face, and the commander of the soldiers next to him pointed the iron cone gun in his hand straight down!A shot into the chest.From the beginning to the end, there was no trace of weakness on the latter's face.

"Control, since there are small groups of Liangshan rangers here, then the other army's brigade..."

The Song army's horse army was limited, and their combat power was not good. They were unable to investigate the situation in the north. They had been blocked for many days.And there is no one in the Xinyang Army who is willing to inform them.

In this way, for ten consecutive days, Niu Gao became deaf and blind.But there is a steady stream of military intelligence sent to the rear.The Liangshan army had already captured Nanyang, and Li Kui, the appeasement envoy of the Southwest Road of Beijing, led the remnant soldiers back to Xiangyang, and Dengzhou was also gone.The Liangshan Army will be able to reach Xiangfan right now.If they suddenly captured Zaoyang and Suizhou, wouldn't that cut off Niu Gao's retreat?

Right now there is another Liangshan army appearing in front of the pass, even if they want to retreat, it will be difficult for them, the pro-army commander reminded.

Although Wuyang Pass is dangerous, it is also far away from the main force of the Song army.If they encountered a large group of enemies here, Shangfeng would definitely not want to teach them to abandon the pass and escape.In that case, the situation is not good.

Niu Gao didn't make a sound, he naturally knew that the situation was not good for him.How many Liangshan troops are there in the north?What is the purpose of these people?

He was also in a mess.

But he knew that he didn't need many cavalry like Shicai, only three to five hundred. When he abandoned the pass and went south, when the morale of the whole army was low, an attack would be a big problem.

When he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a loud report that a military order had arrived in the pass, telling him to return to the pass quickly.

This was an order to withdraw troops. Liang Fangping asked Niu Gao to lead his troops to retreat from Wuyang Pass, and together with the defenders of Jiuliguan and Pingjing Pass, retreat to Xiaogan and Hanchuan areas.

There were Hanyang troops there, and Ezhou, across the river, both had troops stationed there.

In this battle, the main battlefield between the Liangshan Army and the Song Army was in Xiangyang, and even if there were Liangshan cavalry to kill there, it would at most be a partial division.

Niu Gao's mission is to defeat, or at least resist, this partial division.Hanyang Army is the bottom line!

The sudden order made all the generals in the pass feel discouraged. They had to abandon the dangerous situation before the battle started. Liang Fangping even put himself in the position of a weak one.Even though the Royal Camp Forbidden Army is indeed weaker than the Liangshan Army, this is extremely frustrating.

Niu Gao was originally a black face, but now he has become the bottom of the pot.But no matter how angry you are, you must obey the military order.Speaking of which, Liang Fangping also treats Niu Gao well. If Niu Gao can win the Xiaogan-Hanyang Deputy Battlefield, he will definitely be able to go one step further!
But withdrawing troops is not a simple matter.The Imperial Guards are not elites who have fought in hundreds of battles. Although they can fight in one battle, the morale of the army will be reduced after withdrawing from the three passes. If the Liangshan army comes to kill them again, the consequences will not be good.

If they break out the camp on the same day, leave the flag on the pass, tie the raw sheep and put it in front of it, hang two feet on the drum, and beat the drum with a sound.

Outside the city, the Rangers of the Liangshan Army saw the flag on the top of the city and the sound of drums. How could they detect the authenticity?It wasn't until two days later that he realized that if he tried to chase him again, Niu Gao's army would have gone far away.

But Niu Gao's trip was not smooth, he ordered soldiers at Anzhou school, and found that the soldiers from Jiuliguan and Pingjingguan only came back with only a thousand and five soldiers and not enough.You know, there are more than a thousand troops stationed in each of the two departments.

But after the Sanguan soldiers and horses gathered together, the sentry he stayed in Yingshan County reported back and found a group of sneaky people.It was pressed to Anzhou and sent to Niugao's account.

This person was interrogated, and it turned out that he was a deserter from the Jiuliguan garrison.The angry Niugao was about to push them out and chop them up.It was at this time that a bad news came that a partial division of the Liangshan Army had broken through Zaoyang and Tangcheng, and was now approaching Suizhou.

This is not allowed to be extravagantly hoped, the defenders of Suizhou must either surrender in Kaesong, or flee in a crowd; as expected, within a day, there will be another Tan Mafei reporting: "at most ten miles ahead, there is a remnant of the army, Under the banner of Fangzi, about 500 people were fleeing. Behind them, a group of Liangshan infantry were chasing them.

The situation is urgent!

The local soldiers in Anzhou were already trembling. If it weren't for Niu Gao's army, they would have surrendered at this moment.But Anzhou Zhizhou could still maintain his composure.But calmness cannot protect Anzhou, it all depends on Niu Gaojun.

The soldiers and horses in Anzhou were all listening, and hurriedly brushed their faces in front of Niu Gao. "So that the general can know that the square character must be Fang Peng, the military commander in Suizhou. This man can make a Fang Tian painted halberd, and he is quite brave."

Under such circumstances, it is indeed extraordinary to be able to escape to Anzhou with others.After all, this is an era when local soldiers "flee from the wind are the brave, those who flee after hearing the wind are the brave, and those who flee after hearing the wind are the brave."Niu Gao agreed, at least the Anzhou military prison in front of him would not work.

"Control, this is a good opportunity." Since it is the remnant of the government and army, the Liangshan bandits will definitely not send a large group of people to hunt them down.After all, Suizhou is a city of one state.And for the Niu Gao army, isn't this a golden opportunity?

"Call together the soldiers, follow me to fight the enemy! I still don't believe that this Liang bandit has one more head than us?" Niu Gao obviously realized it.This is the difference between soldiers and civilians.Minzhuang in Anzhou City was trembling with fright, and Zhizhou was just trying to stay calm. How could he see this opportunity?
It's just that the terrain of Anzhou City is flat, there is no danger to rely on, and it is impossible to fight an ambush.But Niu Gao wasn't afraid, and after thinking up to this point, he ordered loudly: "The whole army is ready to fight!"

If you can't fight an ambush, fight a frontal battle.Liang Shan's army is only a small team, hundreds of people, but he has more than [-] troops under his command, how can he be afraid of them?
