Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 327 Battle of the Pass
At Gusong Pass, on the top of the city, Yang An and Tong Xing are all vying to go down to the city to fight.

The supervisor Yang Song was right behind them, so they didn't make a sound.

Although everyone's surname is Yang, they are not from the same family. Yang An and Tong Xing are from the same village, and they have been very good friends since childhood, but they are not biological brothers.

Yang Song is not even a fellow with them.Yang Song is a civil official, but his younger brother Tong Lang is a military officer. He is now on the way to detour behind the Yizhou Army with Tong Qinghui.

Although Yang Song and Yang An Tong Xing have worked together for many years, they don't have much friendship.

Seeing the two scrambling to go down to the city to face the battle now, there was a mocking smile on the corners of their mouths.

He is one of the most famous generals in the Song Dynasty, and he is also a first-class general in the whole country. With the two of you alone, I am afraid that the sum of them will not be an opponent.

However, he did not persuade him. Although Yanfu appointed him as the supervisor of the army, everyone has their own control over the military power.

Yang'an Tongxing's [-] soldiers and horses are jointly managed by his two vanguard officials.As for the [-] soldiers and horses of Yang Song, the supervising army, he has the final say.

So Yang Song didn't care, it was because he had no right to control, Yang Song had selfish intentions, and he also thought that he was unparalleled in strategy, so he shouldn't be a deputy prime minister under the influence of words.

"Why are the two generals refusing to make a decision? I don't think it's better for the two of you to go out of the city together. This General Jiang An is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Yang An and Tong Xing are arguing with each other, in fact, they are worried that Jiang An's reputation is so great, he is not an opponent, and accepting is a matter of face.

Yang Song said so, no matter what, the two had no choice but to go to the city to fight.

"Brother! Why don't we go out together and fight against Jiang An?" Yang An said to Tong Xing while the two were going down the city.

"Brother! You can plunder the formation for me first, and I'll see what Jiang An is capable of."

Tong Xing insisted on single-handedly challenging Jiang An.

Yang An had no choice but to give him a rush from behind.

Jiang An saw that the Hanzhong army was about to leave the pass, so he ordered the soldiers to retreat temporarily and give way to the city gate.

Hearing only one cannon fire, the Hanzhong army went out of the city.

Tong Xing went out of the city, without saying a word, pointed at Jiang An with a steel gun in his hand, "Tong Xing of Hanzhong, come to ask Wei Xianfeng for advice!"

Jiang An didn't talk too much, he patted his horse to meet him, and slashed with his knife.

In less than ten rounds, Tong Xing was overwhelmed.

He ran back to his horse, but Jiang An didn't chase after him, so Yang An quickly opened the door to let him in.

The two were defeated and returned to Gusong Pass.

Yang Song suddenly said, "Come here, first unload General Yang An's weapon, and then ask him to go to the Supervising Army."

Yang An's face changed, "Yang Song! What do you mean?"

"General Yang, I don't mean anything. I don't have the right to ask about your situation. It's better to talk to the king when you have time."

As Yang Song said, he resolutely ordered someone to take off Yang An's saber and take it to the military supervisor.In fact, it took away his military power in a disguised form.

"Mr. Yang! You are..." Tong Xing was also very surprised.

"General Tong Xing! I suspect that this guy secretly communicated with Da Song and didn't do his best for me in Hanzhong!"

Tong Xing was taken aback, and glanced at Yang An, "Deputy Prime Minister! I lost the battle, not Yang An. What do you mean by that?"

"Don't worry, general! I just do things according to my heart, I don't dare to be unfair..."

Yang Song pointed at Yang An, "He pretended to argue with you just now, but he stopped arguing when he got out of the city. You fought bravely, and although you were defeated, everyone saw it. But this Yang An is different, After you were defeated, he didn't want to make progress, so he followed you back to the city."

"And you all saw it just now. Yang An didn't try to stop our remnant army from entering the city, and he didn't continue to challenge Jiang An. These were all doubtful, but when Jiang An saw him coming out, he ordered to stop the pursuit. Could it be that they cooperated with him? Now I have reason to suspect that this is evidence that Yang An was bribed by Da Song."

Yang An ah, stunned.There is still such a series.

Yang Song continued, "Of course, maybe we have overcorrected, but be careful when sailing for ten thousand years. Now I announce that Yang An will be detained for the time being, and his 5000 men and horses. I will lead it temporarily."

Yang Song suspends Yang An's command power with an unquestionable thunderous method, but does not control Tong Xing.

First, this is to show that he is not crazy, he just did what he should do, and second, he has his own ideas now,
He intends to continue to use Tong Xing as a forward, as a bait.

And his main force took advantage of the momentum to cover up the kill and create a big victory.

Off, Jiang An didn't know this, but he could see that the Hanzhong army was afraid of their own bravery and would no longer switch to fight.

So he called Gao Manfu and whispered a few words.

The next day, the vanguard army besieged the city again, but this time it was no longer Jiang An, but the new vanguard deputy general Gao Manfu.

The Hanzhong army was also caught off guard, and Yang Song's plan was disrupted.

No one knows this Gao Manfu, so we don’t know what the outcome will be.

Tong Xing went out of the city again to challenge Gao Manfu.

Gao Manfu's ability was inferior to that of Jiang An, but Tong Xing still couldn't beat him. The two fought for thirty or forty rounds.

Yang Song immediately ordered people to open the city and let him go back to the city, but at the same time he raised his hand and released a signal.

Immediately, countless Hanzhong soldiers appeared in front of and behind them, trying to keep Gao Manfu in the middle.

Unexpectedly, the Great Song Army seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and they also rushed up to fight against the encirclement, and everyone fought together.

Although Yang Song has a large number of men, but the place under the city is too small to accommodate so many people, the two armies fought for half a day, each defending.

In this battle, Jiang An's vanguard army lost more than 300 people, and Yang Song's Hanzhong army lost 800 people.

Yang Song frowned. He thought he could win easily, but firstly, the terrain limited his number, and secondly, the Great Song Army was so brave. If the two sides were [-] against [-], their losses would only be greater.

After much deliberation, he suddenly had another idea.

Immediately he strode to the place where Yang An was imprisoned and released him.

Yang An was still full of anger.

Yang Song smiled apologetically, "General Yang, this is my trick. You don't have to be angry. You listen to me. I heard people say that the intelligence personnel of Zhao Dezhao's army are very powerful, and they often infiltrate into the opponent's army to spy on information. I know that our army There are their informants, but I don’t know which one it is.”

"This time I deliberately pretended to have a dispute with the general, just to show them a show. I will let you go quietly now. You will take 3000 people and leave the customs quietly at night. You will bypass Jiang An's back. General Tong Xing will fight with them in the daytime tomorrow." Pick, regardless of victory or defeat, when you hear that I want to run here, immediately hide and kill, and we will attack from inside and outside, we have a good chance of winning!"

Yang An was skeptical of what he said, but since it was released, it was better than being locked inside, so he nodded and agreed, and went to eat and rest first, and stayed until midnight, and as Yang Song said, he quietly slipped out of the city , lying in ambush in a hill not far from the opposite side.
