Chapter 30 Zhao Kuangyin sweeps the world with one stick
Chai Xing took a short rest and ordered the wounded soldiers to retreat, leading other soldiers to attack the side camp of the Northern Han Army.
When Chai Xing arrived, the army of Zhou General Li Chongjin also rushed to the front camp of the enemy. The Northern Han army attacked each other and retreated one after another.
Li Chongjin shouted: "It's General Chai!"
"Gen. Li is fine?" Chai Xingzong stepped forward and talked to General Li.
The two generals joined forces to chase and the Northern Han army fled to Bagongyuan, and stood firm.
Seeing that the enemy archers were ready, Chai Xing and Li Chongjin were unwilling to fight hard, so they led their troops to retreat and met at the imperial tent.
Emperor Chai Rong asked about the war, and the two royal relatives killed many enemies, and the emperor was very happy.
The emperor was afraid that the Northern Han army would escape, so he kept urging the troops to advance quickly and lined up with the Northern Han army.
The Northern Han lord Liu Chong was stationed in the middle of Bagongyuan, the Northern Han general Zhang Yuanhui was stationed in the east, and the Liao general Yang Gun was stationed in the west, forming a horn-like force and a very strict military appearance.
At that time, the Great Zhou Zhi General, a veteran of the battlefield who was favored by the emperor, and the governor of Heyang Jieyang, led the rear army to the battlefield before he arrived. Seeing that there were many enemy troops, the generals were frightened and worried, wanting to fight after he came.
However, the energetic Emperor of Great Zhou raised his whip and decisively ordered: "No more waiting for Liu Ci! Arrive immediately!"
The emperor ordered Bai Chongzan, Li Chongjin, Chai Xing to lead the army to the west, Fan Aineng, He Hui to lead the army to the east, Xiang Xun, Shi Yanchao to lead the elite cavalry to the middle, Zhang Yongde, the commander in front of the hall, led the Imperial Guard to protect the emperor. The emperor wore armor and rode on the imperial horse, and personally supervised the battle.
The Northern Han Dynasty saw that only the vanguard army of the Great Zhou arrived on the battlefield. Before the rear army arrived, he regretted asking the Khitan for help, so he said to the generals: "I can defeat the Great Zhou Kingdom with only Han soldiers. Why do I need to ask the Khitan for help! Today, I not only have to defeat the Zhou army, but also make the Khitan convinced us!"
The generals praised: "The emperor is wise!"
Liao general Yang Gun looked at the Zhou army for a while, rode his horse to the Northern Han master and said, "The elite Zhou army should not attack suddenly!"
The Northern Han ruler was contented and smiled with his long beard, "Don't miss the opportunity, don't say anything again, let's see if I fight the Zhou army!"
Yang Gun was speechless and looked angry.
At this time, a strong wind blew from the sky, sometimes to the east and sometimes to the south. The flattering spirit in the Northern Han army said to the master: "Your Majesty, God helps you, you can attack!"
The Lord of Northern Han smiled and opened his face. Wang Dezhong, a scholar of the Privy Council, held his horse's head and advised: "Your Majesty, don't believe the words of such villains. The wind is so urgent. How can we help us?"
The Northern Han master cursed: "I plan to make a decision. Why do you need the old scholar to say too much? If you dare to vent your words, I will definitely take your head!"
Wang Dezhong retreated with regret.
The battle between Han and Zhou started.
The Northern Han General Zhang Yuanhui led his army to attack first, and the attack direction was on the right wing. As soon as the two armies fought, Zhou army general Fan Aineng and He Hui fled with the cavalry. More than a thousand infantry under their command took off their armor, shouted long live, and surrendered to the Northern Han ruler.
The Northern Han army fought a lot as soon as the war started, and the entire army immediately pressed forward. The Zhou army stepped on themselves, and the front army was in chaos.
When the Emperor of Great Zhou saw that his front army was defeated and his army was in a critical state, he personally took arrows and stones and directed the soldiers to fight.
The Northern Han lord Liu Chong shouted: "All the troops obey orders. Those who take Chai Rong's head will be rewarded with ten thousand golds and granted the title of marquis of ten thousand households!"
The Emperor of Great Zhou had white horses all over his body, and the emperor himself was wearing a dragon robe, which was too conspicuous on the battlefield. The Northern Han army was all competing for merit and attacking like locusts. The Zhou army lost the initiative and was unable to resist the enemy for a while.
The soldiers of Chai Xing's troops were far away from the emperor and were extremely anxious. However, they could not escape from the circumference, and felt as if they were gnawing by tens of thousands of ants.
At this critical moment, the guards stood up Zhao Kuangyin and said to the robes: "The emperor is in such a dangerous situation, how can we not kill the enemy without killing us!"
Zhao Kuangyin took the Tongtian stick and said to Zhang Yongde (this man is also a relative of the emperor): "The bandits are arrogant and will fight hard and will definitely win! There are many archers under the public. Please lead the troops to attack the enemy's left wing. I will lead the troops to attack the right wing and fight together. The safety of the country is here!"
Zhang Yongde said: "Follow the general's plan!"
Zhang Yongde held a big sword, and Zhao Kuangyin held the Tongtian stick, and each led his troops to kill the enemy. Zhao Kuangyin led the way, galloped forward, and charged into the battle with the enemy's arrow rain. The Tongtian stick swept down, with a lot of sticks, and the enemy generals were broken and killed immediately.
Zhang Yongde also refused to fall behind, and he threw the big sword in his hand and killed the Northern Han army, just like cutting melons and vegetables.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were inspired by the brave and fearless spirit of the two generals, and each killed the Northern Han army to collapse and separate.
As soon as the front army of the Northern Han Dynasty dispersed, Chai Xing and others came in time, and the rear army of the Northern Han Dynasty also dispersed one after another.
Chai Xing shouted to his subordinates: "Aren't we ministers ashamed of letting the emperor be attacked by the enemy?"
Chai Xing jumped on horseback and pulled a bow. A commander of the Liao army fell down and everyone cheered. Chai Xing took the lead in breaking into the enemy formation, with Hua Qingshuang, Ruan Haotian and others following closely behind. Chai Xing led his army to bypass the Liao army and took the Northern Han leader directly, and he wanted to hit the attack and complete the beheading operation!
Seeing that the situation was critical, the Northern Han general Zhang Yuanhui was about to rescue him. Hua Qingshuang looked at him with four golden needles and hit his horse's leg. The horse was in pain and immediately threw him down and threw Zhang Yuanhui down.
Ruan Haotian passed by. As soon as Zhang Yuanhui struggled to get up, Ruan Haotian slashed down with a sword, and Zhang Yuanhui's body and head separated.
Zhang Yuanhui was one of the most powerful generals in the Northern Han army, and his qualifications were older than Yang Ye. With his death, the morale of the Northern Han army was greatly destroyed.
At this time, the south wind was blowing even harder, and the Zhou soldiers fought for the first place, and the Northern Han army collapsed across the board.
