The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade Chapter 106: When the man is dead
As the sun sets westward, the two riders walk slowly on a flat sandy ground commonly known as Longan'er, and then 30 miles south, they are Hutou City, the first male city of Beiliang Border Pass. There are 30,000 elite soldiers in and outside the city, 3,000 iron cavalry, 6,000 light cavalry, and more than 20,000 infantry. Even the people in the city who are not registered as soldiers, as long as they are young and middle-aged, can put on their armour and fight in haste. Behind Hutou City is the Huaiyang Pass, which has the new Beiliang Duhu Mansion. There are two major gate cities, Liuya and Tiefuling, on the front line of Huaiyang Pass. They have more than 10,000 soldiers, and the number of infantry is absolutely accounted for. The excellent Hutou city is not the same. The two military towns of Liuya and Tiefuling are almost all cavalry with fast horses and light armor, which is obviously opposite to the "defense city" Hutou city, which is mainly used to block the northern mang army from going south. These two border cities, which are inferior in scale, take on the task of taking the initiative to attack more. After this first battle line with both offensive and defensive capabilities, the second battle line is based on Jinyuan Qinghe Zhongzhong Sanguan as the fulcrum, and the two cities of Xuan Shen and Shenwu are the two wings to the north of Liangzhou, followed by the permanent stationed on the border of Liangzhou. The heavy snow dragon cavalry, as well as the army of the two chief lieutenants Chen Yunchu He Zhonghu. Coupled with the canine-toothed Wubao Diaolou, there is no doubt that the border north of Liangzhou is the most difficult battlefield in the entire Beiliang. Generally speaking, Beimang is the least likely to attack the heavily guarded Liangzhou North Line. If the Northern Barbarian wanted to eat this place with his mouth open, I'm afraid it would be more than just breaking his teeth and swallowing blood. The northern line of Liangzhou, which has the most powerful sword in the northern Liang Dynasty, is relatively large. Youzhou is dominated by infantrymen. Therefore, the commander of the infantry commander Yan Wenluan is also there, whether it is the terrain north of Youzhou or the distribution of the garrison. It has been determined that Youzhou is a typical offensive and defensive battle between northern nomads and Central Plains farming. One side sieges the city and the other defends the city. Unlike Liangzhou North, who dares to pose with the Beimang cavalry, relying on the Xujia cavalry. The posture on the offensive back. The dragon elephant cavalry was originally stationed in the middle area between Liangyou and Liangyou. It can support both sides at any time, and even take the initiative to roam around looking for fighters. There is no fixed situation, but with the newly established fourth state, Liuzhou, 30,000 dragon elephant troops are stationed. Among them, a crack was invisibly separated from the close connection between Youliang and Liangzhou.
The largest city in the northwest of the Liyang Dynasty, is not the state city of Liangling and Yousanzhou in Beiliang, but this abrupt and majestic Hutou city!
On the border of Youzhou, there are some passes for business travelers to enter and leave Liangmang, such as Daomaguan, but there are none to the north of Liangzhou!
Here is destined to be only wolves and yellow sands, and the caravan bells will never be heard.
Although there are only two rides, one of them is dragging a embarrassed woman with tied hands. She was covered in dust, her lips were chapped, and the delicate embroidered shoes on her feet, like those of a graceful girl from Jiangnan, were also dilapidated, showing **** toes. She is shaky, but she is still struggling to persevere. When she was able to look up and see the legendary tiger head city where the heads of Beimang’s captives were most like to be placed on the city’s head, she paused because of this untimely, and then was dragged to the ground by a war horse. The rider didn’t. Turning her head, she struggled to get up, otherwise she would be dragged to Tiger Head City like this, but exhausted, she couldn't stand up anymore, only turned over, and there was a burning sting gliding on the gravel from her back. , This kind of pain does not lie in the sudden pain, but in the continuous, bit by bit accumulation.
The Beimang rider who was ordered to act couldn't help turning his head and glanced at him. Such a woman sitting high on the cloud just fell off the altar, but was dragged forward by him and the horse like a dog. .
He turned his head and looked at the ride ahead. He didn't know why this person didn't kill him or why he didn't kill her either.
In the distance, the crowds are everywhere, and a mighty cavalry team of hundreds of people shook the ground.
His heart contracted violently. This was the first time in his life that he saw such a large number of Northern Liang Cavalry. He also quickly discovered that the Northern Liang Cavalry was different from the former Liu Zijun cavalry. No doubt he was brave and cruel. After he joined the army, he did the same, otherwise he would not be one of the cavalry guards of General Liu Gui. But the feeling that these Northern Liang cavalry in front of him gave him was even more terrifying. It was not obvious to fight with the standard crossbowmen before, but I felt that the well-known Northern Liang crossbowmen were indeed amazing in combat power, but they could exceed three hundred. After the number of people, it gave people a very strange feeling, as if these three or four hundred riders were all integrated, their horse riding and whip, full of forbearance and restraint that would make all Northern Mang warriors feel extremely uncomfortable. The garrison in Tiger Head City in front of them, even every time the body follows the ups and downs of the horse's back, it is exactly the same.
He only heard that the two big tent heavy knights fed with countless gold and silver can really go hand in hand when they are fully deployed and charged in the front line.
The four hundred riders turned over and dismounted almost at the same time, leading a middle-aged knight on one knee, bowed his head and clasped his fists and said: "Final Liu Jinu, see the lord!"
After that, the four hundred riders said in unison: "See the lord!"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "All get up, General Liu has gone out of town this time to greet me."
The young prisoner behind Xu Fengnian who can ride a horse and wear armor was stunned for a moment. He couldn't turn his head, but he saw that General Liu, who had the same armor and crossbow as the **** behind him, seemed to be lame when he got up. ?
Then he knew who this plain-looking lame general was, the first side general under the commanders of Beiliang, the guardian of Tiger Head City Liu Lap!
He didn't know what Liu Jinu was, but almost every soldier with the word Liu had heard of this lame Liu who was legendary in the desert. This person is different from many Beiliang warlords who have become more stigmatized in Beimang with the greater their strengths. In the mouths of scholars in Beimang and the Southern Dynasties, Liu Lizi is recognized as a good general in the world. Like a parent, two sons and two daughters, the son has been killed in the frontier battle, and the younger son was only sixteen years old when he died. Both daughters were married to his subordinates, and both became widows. The lame Liu was never merciful to the enemy, but never killed innocent people indiscriminately. In a retaliatory long-distance raid fourteen years ago, he went deep into the hinterland of Gusai Prefecture and beheaded all the way through ten thousand. That leg was used by a captive woman. The dagger pierced through, but the lame Liu still did not kill her, leaving only a saying that was not true or false but was widely circulated on the grassland, "Whether it’s our Beiliang or your Beimang, it’s only when the man is dead that it’s his turn. You girls."
Liu Jinu accompanied Xu Fengnian to the majestic Tiger Head City, where he spent most of his life. Looking at the tall city wall, the warrior with outstanding achievements was extremely warm in his eyes.
The four hundred fine horsemen behind them slowly turned their horses back and couldn’t help but glance at the weird two. A poor woman who can walk.
After entering the city, Xu Fengnian took a shower and changed his clothes. Liu Jinu and several Hutou city captains stood respectfully under the outer courtyard steps.
The last time Xu Fengnian patrolled as the King of Xinliang, he stopped at Huaiyang Pass and did not come here. It is said that the few school lieutenants at the moment are quite slanderous, saying that the prince despise them Tiger Head City. Think of Hutoucheng's **** as the son of the Empress of Beiliang. The lieutenant who led the three thousand heavy cavalry publicly threatened that he had the ability to make the Huaiyangguan gang of garrisons play martial arts with him once, and he was not willing to bully the Huaiyang cavalry is a light cavalry. Thousand, the guys still did not need to charge three rounds to throw away their helmets and armor. Xu Fengnian saw one of the brawny guys who pretended to be calm but was obviously a little restrained and cowered, and waved to indicate that these Tiger Head City pillar generals all sat down and talked. Liu Jinu’s qualifications and achievements were placed there. He and Lao Liang Wang could talk peacefully back then. Faced with the new master of Beiliang, Xu Fengnian, of course, was not at a loss. He sat calmly on a stone bench and caught a glimpse of the horse tribulus that had been the most ferocious scolding after drinking. Now he is talking to a shy girl who dare not meet his lover. Like we, we sat at the end with a stone bench, shrinking our heads.
Xu Fengnian tilted his head, as if looking for someone, and deliberately asked with a smile: "General Liu, I don’t know that the man who threatened to get down on my horse even if he couldn’t beat me with his fists, would he be able to drink me? Present?"
Liu Jinu suppressed the laughter and said nothing.
The few lieutenants who were as rough as the wind and sand in the room couldn't help but laugh all of a sudden, and the laughter was full of straightforward and kindness.
No matter how feminine the man is, he will probably be hardened by the harsh sun here year after year.
No matter how small a man's mind is, he will probably be able to be held up by the sky and the earth day after day.
The horse brier straightened up his waist, exposed his head high behind Paoze, broke the jar, and said, "Keep it to the prince, the humble job is there. If your old man is really angry, he will eat a whip at his humble job. That's no different. When you get whip, can you find a place that the humble subordinates can't see? Otherwise, you will have to be laughed at by those guys in the future."
Xu Fengnian obviously didn't care about this guy, and asked: "General Liu, can you all drink?"
Liu Jinu nodded and laughed jokingly: "Of course you can drink. This group of people fights like that. Everyone on the wine table is the first. However, Ma Lingli and Chu Hanqing are both on duty. Watch the night, as long as other people don’t get drunk, it’s okay."
Xu Fengnian yelled, "Then let's drink until we drank, and we can only make up for what we owed last time."
Liu Jinu turned his head and shouted: "Ma Brier, and Chu Hanqing personally go to hold two jars of wine, and then go to watch the night."
Horse Tribulus was relieved, and trot out of the yard with another lieutenant, and quickly brought two jars of green ant wine.
The guilty horse tribulus did not dare to wait any longer, so he wanted to get away quickly. The famous and elegant Hutou city school lieutenant Chu Hanqing hesitated, looked at Xu Fengnian, and asked: "My lord ~ IndoMTL.com~ Can't be a humble job tonight. Drinking, I don’t know when and where the next time I can drink, can I give an empty bowl to the prince once?"
Xu Fengnian nodded.
Chu Hanqing raised the empty wine bowl at a high level, and Xu Fengnian stood up and drank the green ant wine in the bowl.
Ma Lingyu asked anxiously: "Lord, do you want to respect you as a humble job?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and drank another bowl.
Xu Fengnian sat back on the stone bench, looked at the frontier generals with sincere smiles on their faces, and asked, "General Liu, is there anything else Tiger Head City needs? Just speak up."
Liu Jinu held a bowl in one hand, put one hand on that lame leg, smiled and shook his head: "No more."
Xu Fengnian didn't say much, and drank silently with these forty-something veterans of Beiliang.
At the end, Liu Jinu only said one sentence, "Since the prince is sitting here, then there is a sentence that I thought could not be said, and I can say it. There are more than 40,000 people in Tiger Head City. I have all drunk the prince’s see-off wine, although I die without regret."
