The rain poured down, billions of raindrops hitting the hard ground, and billions of crackling sounds merged into a roar. The rain flowed freely, and in an instant small pools of water accumulated, which were then crushed by iron hooves and splashed into the air. Under the heavy rain, the two thousand iron riders, both men and horses, were poured into a dull color by the rain. As they gradually gathered into a battle formation, it was as if a huge kun fish had emerged from the deep sea, showing hideous scales.

In the Jin army's array, Cao Wei, who was retreating under the wing of several sergeants, suddenly stopped and exclaimed: "That's Wang Yan's cavalry!" It's coming so fast! His face changed, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the soldier who led the way: "Go back quickly!" Hurry up and report to General Lu! Those were not the defenders of the upper reaches of Gejindu, but the Wang Yansuo troops stationed in Wating, who were General Wang...... The real elite cavalry under Wang Mi's command! ”

Wating is located in the south of Wenshijin, north of Yan County. The ancient name of this place is tile, it is the place where the Jin and Lu soldiers will be in the spring and autumn period, because there is the old pavilion left on the earthen hill, so now the name is tile pavilion, and there is also called the tile gang. The tile pavilion is a little farther away from Hakuba, but it is about an equilateral triangle with Wenshijin and Yeonjin. Puqu from the sour jujube to the east, through Yan County to Puyang, near the tile plug into a swamp named Yangqing Lake, Wating will guard the north bank of Yangqing Lake, become an important support point along the big river Jindu rear.

The person in charge of guarding the tile pavilion was Wang Yan, a brave general under Wang Mi, and an elite army led by him. This army of troops and horses moved very quickly, and when they found the beacon fire of the White Horse Fortress, they immediately dispatched and arrived at White Horse earlier than the troops of the upper Kindu. At this time, Wang Yanzheng handed over the long lance to the congqi, took the reins with his left hand, and ripped off the black sash with his right hand to make his vision wider.

The war horse moved forward quickly, getting closer and closer to Baimajin, and several Tanma horses also returned one after another, the enemy situation was very clear, and the whole army was waiting for his order. And he looked unhurriedly, and saw the busy figure of the Jin army in the distance, and also saw the white horse base with the camp gate closed.

The Jin army dared to forcibly cross the river in such a harsh climate, which was indeed beyond Wang Yan's expectations; The huge beacon fire on the white horse base proved that Cao Wei's troops not only failed to prevent the Jin army from landing on the shore, but suffered a heavy setback. Thinking that Cao Wei had suffered a loss, he couldn't help but be vaguely happy. It's wonderful, Cao Wei, a few of you are defeated by the Jin army, then it should be my Wang Yan's opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

The heavy rain weather is inconvenient for the cavalry to gallop, and it is reasonable that their own family is not in a hurry to fight. But from the other side: the Jin army crossed the river by boat, and the boat capacity was limited, so those who crossed the river in the early stage must have no cavalry, and could only fight with foot soldiers; Under the heavy rain, they lost the advantage of their bows and crossbows; Looking at the posture of the river rushing at this moment, the Jin army's own team was blocked on the north bank, and the troops who had crossed the river had neither support nor retreat, while their own side had a white horse base to rely on, and the reinforcements were continuous......

Weighing the two sides, there are only one unfavorable factors for one's own side, and there are as many as four or five unfavorable factors for the Jin army, so it is worth fighting! Just end the fight as quickly as possible and win before the ground gets completely muddy! Wang Yan put back his pocket, pursed his lips and howled, and issued an order.

The war horses accelerated, the armor clanged, the cyan feathers decorated on the countless iron pockets swayed together, and more than a thousand riders appeared from the rain curtain, looking like demon gods from a distance. Wang Yan was in the middle of it, and he was a little distracted for some reason.

Just as Shi Le took the "Eighteen Horsemen" gathered in the Hebei pastures as the core force, Wang Mi, as a giant in the Central Plains, had already cultivated his own set of basic teams. Among them, those who are particularly effective include Liu Ling, a habitual bandit in Qingzhou who is known for his ferocity and murder, Zhang Song, who is resourceful and decisive, and Cao Wei, who is proficient in military affairs; In addition, there are Wang Zhang, Wang Yan and others who led the troops to fight among the children of the Donglai Wang clan, all of whom led the troops to sit on one side. Among them, Wang Yannai is Wang Mi's relative, known as brave and good at fighting, and known as a powerful enemy. In the past, when the demon thief Liu Baigen was defeated by Gou Xi, Wang Mi led the rest of his troops to gather in the mountains of Changguang, and there was a shortage of food. It all depends on Wang Yan to enter the poor forest alone, and the five heads of the split giant wolf are sacrificed, and everyone has a full meal. Because of this, Wang Yan was promoted by Wang Mi to the general of the tooth and commanded the elite soldiers. After that, he fought between the mountains and seas of Qingzhou, and Wang Yan must choose the front in every battle, killing a lot of Jin troops.

After Shi Le's army went south, Wang Yan was friendly with the generals under Shi Le, and often had banquets with Ji Bao, Lu Ming and others. Shi Le himself loved warriors, so he also treated Wang Yanqing with a warm eye and generously gave thousands of good horses from the Red Dragon Ranch in Hebei. Wang Yan was naturally overjoyed to accept it, and his subordinates were like a tiger with wings, and they conquered the city and conquered all the places. He also relied on this prestige and became one of the most powerful generals under Wang Mi.

It's a pity that fortune and misfortune rely on each other, last winter, Wang Mi got the title of Donglai Gong of the Xiongnu Han State and the general of Zhengdong, so he added officials to his subordinates. What generals and captains spilled out as if they didn't want money, but all the three or five hundred subordinates were transformed into high-ranking officers officially appointed by the Han State...... Only Wang Yan was a little embarrassed. Because Liu Ling, Zhang Song, Cao Wei and others were annoyed that he was close to the Qianren, and said many times in front of Wang Mi that he could not be reused, but General Wang was not too heavy on the general's feelings, so he had to alienate this relative fierce general a little, and as a result, not only did the original official position fly away, but also was sent to the Yellow River far away from the battlefield. In terms of official position alone, the status of this tooth goalkeeper is probably more than 100 outside Wang Mi; And the duty of guarding a few ferries, how can it be as happy as fighting and plundering?

Thinking of this, Wang Yan couldn't hold back his annoyance. Fortunately, Cao Wei also fell out of favor soon after, and was also transferred to the line of the big river to guard the ferry, hehe, as long as he won the battle in front of him, he must have forced Cao Wei to bow his head! At that time, simply swallow all the troops of this guy, presumably General Wang will also pay attention to himself again, right? Wang Yan suddenly thought again: But at that time, is it still necessary to follow General Wang? That Qiang Shile is a bold person, maybe follow him, you can get more benefits?

Wang Yan shook his head violently, got rid of those cranky thoughts, and then accelerated his horse. One took a scarlet flag from his side pocket and put it on the tip of the pole and held it high. As a result, the light cavalry on both sides of the queue instantly unfolded their formation, and the hundreds of iron cavalry that followed behind Wang Yan accelerated at the same time, and countless zhang six long lances leaned forward together, like a jungle of steel.

The cavalry were all dressed in black iron armor on tall horses, and many of them were covered with horse armor made of rhinoceros skin, with only their eyes and noses out. These horses are all male horses raised by the Great Jin Dynasty in more than ten large pastures in Hebei, and after being seized by the herdsman from Shile, they fell into Wang Yan's department; And these armors are the output of Yuzhou iron officials for a hundred years, and the treasures of Xuchang arsenal for two generations. Due to the embarrassed loss of Xuchang by the king of the East China Sea, hundreds of thousands of sets of armor and armor weapons all fell into the hands of Shi Le and Wang Mi. Half a year ago, in addition to the elite of the headquarters, many of the exiles who were brought here were still at the level of cutting wood as soldiers; But Xuchang's rich harvest after the first battle was enough to arm each of them to the teeth, and the strong armor and blade were not inferior to any imperial court soldiers and horses, even to the extent that even the Youzhou army was stunned!

At this moment, the iron-armored beast is surging like a torrent; The horse's hooves flew and the earth trembled!

The reeds on the bank of the river are quite dense, and the Jin army stands here, and it also has the meaning of using the reed beach as a flank cover. When Wang Yan rushed in, another batch of arrows flew out of the air and fell into the cavalry. However, under the rain, both the bowstring made of ox tendon and the bow back made of hardwood looked weak, and the arrows crackled against the armored cavalry, and most of them were directly bounced away. Wang Yansuo's cavalry did not slow down and continued to move forward. Everywhere the iron cavalry went, the tough reeds were as weak as artemisia grass, and they were flattened in the blink of an eye, and the cavalry of the brigade slammed straight into the Jin army in front.

The three columns of Jin sabers and shields bore the brunt of the attack, and in the position of the frontal impact of the enemy's iron cavalry, only to hear a loud bang, more than a dozen large shields in the first and second rows were instantly trampled by the iron hooves, and several soldiers flew into the air, and blood sprayed wildly in the air, obviously not alive. A large number of heavy cavalry passed through this gap and wedged deeply into the Jin army array.

According to Wang Yan's experience in fighting against the army of the king of the East China Sea in the Central Plains, as long as the front line is broken, the Jin army is not far from collapse. However, the fighting spirit of the Youzhou army is far from being comparable to the imperial soldiers and horses in other places. The soldiers in the rear did not retreat at all, but sacrificed their lives to fill the vacancy, intending to block the route of the cavalry's cavalry attack. Wang Yan had to stop his horse a little and swing left and right. This person is worthy of being one of the few brave generals in the Central Plains thieves, and the heavy lance in his hand dances like a long snake, and every swing will inevitably stab the Jin army in front of him to death and knock him down. The tall horse under his crotch went on a rampage, constantly charging the ranks of the Jin army, leaving corpses and blood all over the ground in his path. The dozens of horsemen who followed Wang Yan were also brave and unstoppable, killing the soldiers of the third row of the Jin army with heavy casualties; The spear queue further behind lost the cover of the big shield, and the direction of rotation was inflexible, and it suddenly crumbled.

The total number of Jin troops crossing the river was only 3,000, and they had to cover a beachhead within a considerable range, and the military array was very wide, so it was not thick. After Wang Yantie rode away, he was no more than a hundred steps away from Lu Yao on the embankment. The shouts of battle and the clashing of blades were suppressed, severed arms and stumps flew, and the heavy smell of blood could not even be concealed by the heavy rain, and it rushed to the nose. Lu Yao didn't take it seriously at all, he didn't get on the horse, and he didn't even order the left and right to wear armor for himself.

Seeing the fierce battle between the two armies, the enemy general shouted and slaughtered, and it was difficult to be mighty, Lu Yao waved his whip with spare time: "Is this person Wang Yan?" ”

"Exactly." Cao Wei, who returned to Lu Yao's side, bowed down and replied: "This person is a fierce general under Wang Mi, although he is brave and unstrategic, he is good at attacking and killing generals, and he is invincible. This time, he charged into battle with a large group of cavalry, which was really difficult. ”

As soon as Cao Wei said this, several generals around Lu Yao immediately snorted coldly to show their disdain. These are all proud soldiers and fierce generals who have fought with Hu Er in the frontier, where can Cao Wei praise the courage of the thieves in front of him? Lu Yao looked back at them and laughed softly: "Even if there are fierce generals under Wang Mi's command, they are not the enemies of the warriors of my Youzhou Military Mansion...... Ray Marui! ”

"In!" Ma Rui took a step forward.

"You take fifty armorers and take off this fang's head!"
