The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade Chapter 162: Waiting and hope
Three thousand five hundred Youqi left a battlefield full of corpses. Behind him is a puff of heavy gunpowder from the burning of the grain. This is the fifth time Youqi has helped Beimang light the "wolf smoke" outside the gourd mouth. . As many as 14,000 people were killed in the auxiliary soldiers of the Beimang War and nearly 200,000 cattle and sheep were scattered. The northernmost part of Youqi’s horseshoe footprint actually stepped on the territory of Longyao Prefecture, and then moved south quickly. The battle just now was not the initiative of Youqi, but Beimang’s interception. Beimang cost two thousand. The average ranger lives to determine the position of this elite Youqi, and to compress the room for Youqi to move around. I believe that the main cavalry of Longyao Prefecture will soon follow the wind.
During the retreat, Yu Luan suddenly raised her head and saw two birds chasing swiftly in the sky. At the same time, Xu Fengnian drew a feather arrow from the quiver, pulling the bow like a full moon, and the arrow followed that Hai Dongqing and The northern mang peregrine falcon quickly flew and drifted slowly. When the peregrine falcon was forced to lower its altitude and fall to escape, Xu Fengnian shot out with an arrow and shot the peregrine falcon on the spot. The huge inertia drove the peregrine falcon into it. In the clouds, the six-year-old phoenix, who is extraordinary and extraordinary, rises high. Under all eyes, I saw this sea Dongqing piercing the sky and rushing towards Xu Fengnian. Its claws hooked the arrow pierced by the swimmer. Falcon's corpse, gently tossed down, hovered over the owner's head for a few times, and then disappeared in a flash. Xu Fengnian threw away the body of the peregrine falcon and put the feather arrow back into the quiver hanging on the left side of the saddle. The Liang crossbow is well-made, but heavy crossbows are often overwhelmed after a big battle, and they are still easy to be damaged in large numbers. Although the light crossbow carried by you rider's hand is more resilient than the heavy crossbow, it has been used for five times. After hunting down, neither the crossbow equipment nor the crossbow arrows were left, so they had to replace the Beimang riding bows that were captured after the war. Xu Fengnian and Yu Luan both used one with a heavy sword. The iron fetus bow made by Xishu craftsmen.
Yu Luandao looked around, worried. If he could not support the war by war, and even without the follow-up troops of Beimang to encircle him, his cavalry had really collapsed. Previously, Jizhou ran for five hundred miles. The pawns who are not physically strong cannot carry them. Even though they were already one man and two horses at the time, the horses were still miserable. Long-distance raids were pursued and unexpectedly, but since it was a "long distance", the pawns could rely on it. Supported by perseverance, war horses are not good, especially this season is not the season of high autumn horse fat, insufficient horse fat, Beiliang ranch horse officials are not gods, nor can it change this reality. Later, I took a rest and rushed six hundred miles to get out of the gourd. Fortunately, there was a confiscated North Mang war horse to minimize this invisible battle damage. It can be transferred on a large scale continuously and the gap is short enough to reach five. After the battle on the field, even if the horses can still be rotated continuously, at this stage it has become that the pawns "running from one battlefield to another battlefield" can no longer hold them, and the reason why they have not shown significant fatigue...Yu Luan The sword subconsciously glanced at Xu Fengnian, who was wearing an armored uniform next to him, Yu Luandao retracted his gaze and turned to look at the faces around him. The young master was full of pride in his heart. Ten thousand Youqi could reach this point, even with Yu Luandao's cold temperament still felt proud enough. It is not uncommon to kill more than 14,000 enemies. The cavalry that Beimang escorted the heavy food and grass was the second and third-rate combat power of the southern border town. There were two cavalry battles from contact to finishing, which were simply one-sided slaughters. But the supply line between Longyaozhou and Hulukou paralyzed them for the most part, and finally involved at least the passive transfer of elite cavalry across the Wanbei Mang border, giving them thousands of riders to lead their noses in circles. Yu Luan Dao and You Qi's greatest achievements.
On the way to the south of the cavalry, Fan Xiaochai and Mi Fengjie both escorted You Qi to leave Xu Feng young and said: "Our bow collapsed too tight."
Yu Luandao nodded and said: "Now it is difficult to find a place to stop. Since the two young generals in the east, who are known as the "Ning Bo" in autumn and winter, have also launched their army, it is impossible for us to retreat to the east. What's more, the prince also said that the espionage has shown that Yang Yuanzan ordered Hong Jingyan to lead half of the Rouran cavalry to withdraw from the gourd mouth to block our route to the south."
Yu Luandao looked to the west, to the west? There is the northern line of Liangzhou, where the main force of the North Mang army under the command of the Great King Dong Zhuo of the South Yard is there, and is on the offensive towards Hutou City. The total strength of the two sides is 700,000. Going there is really a self-investment to give Beimang Manzi his military merits. Not to mention the only three thousand five hundred horses left, which is 35 thousand horses. Without the support of our own army, it is not enough for Beimang to make dumplings. of. Even if Yu Luan Dao encountered those two Nabo or Hong Jingyan's Rouran cavalry, even if the entire army of Youqi under his command died in battle, he would not go west.
Xu Fengnian also looks to the west, as if waiting for someone.
Xu Fengnian was waiting for Song Diaoer, the leader of the horse thief. This person in Huangfu Ping secretly supported a thousand horse thief young and strong. Maybe it can't change the overall situation of Youzhou, but after all, it can help Yuluan Dao's Youzhou Cavalry. Take a breath. You Qi is like an exhausted martial arts master at the moment, and if he gets a new breath, he can fight again. If he can't even change his breath, it will only be exhausted. The reason why Xu Fengnian didn’t say anything was that he didn’t want to surprise the cavalry with a little abacus, but because he didn’t dare to have too much expectations for Song Diao’er, who had only one side. The Northern Liang masters are lurking, and Xu Fengnian will not even let Song Diao'er come to lead the way, put himself in the position of Song Diao'er to consider the problem, who is not a thousand horse thieves to take refuge in? Bei Mang is now in the upper hand. If Song Diao'er becomes rebellious and takes three thousand and five hundred Youzhou cavalry troops to vote for the title, Yang Yuanzan, who was tortured by the cavalry of Yu Luan Dao, would probably not be stingy. Husband. Even in Xu Fengnian's opinion, it would be strange if Song Diao'er, who was originally a member of the Southern Dynasties, had never thought about it and stood on Beiliang's side from beginning to end. As for the truth, Xu Fengnian had to meet Song Diao'er's messenger to judge. Once Song Diao'er didn't dare to come in person and was not in the team, Xu Fengnian could only regard this chess piece as a discoloration. Then Yu Luan Dao and You Qi, who has no way back, are destined to bite the bullet and fight to the end with the two big pots or Rouran Iron Cavaliers, and Xu Fengnian will single-handedly find Song Diao'er, since he can let Bei Liang asked Huangfu Ping to bring Song Diaoer to dominate the horse thieves outside the pass, and Xu Fengnian could take it back with his own hands.
Giving hope and then disappointing is better than not saying anything at the beginning.
Xu Fengnian asked: "How many of Fan Fen's scouts are left?"
Yu Luandao bitterly said: "The original scouts now have fewer than sixty soldiers, but 66 continue to replace them with more than eight hundred riders before they can maintain the number of four hundred scouts. So it can be said that Fan Duwei's. The most severely damaged and impossible things, fighting outside the customs, as a scout, will definitely die at the forefront."
Yu Luan Dao squeezed the chapped and bleeding lips, a smile appeared, and his voice was hoarse: "But we won't be fought in vain after these battles. Three thousand five hundred rides are better than leaving you. Before the territory of the prefecture, the combat power has improved a lot. As long as we breathe a sigh of relief, we can completely slow down, and we will dare to win against the soft cavalry of the same strength as Hong Jingyan. Before that, only the footsteps were known to the world. Who would have such an idea in the state, if these 3,500 people can return to Youzhou alive, it will definitely be of great benefit to the entire Youzhou war."
The lieutenants Shi Yulu and Su Wenyao both had subtle expressions and dared not talk. They were afraid that Xu Fengnian had misunderstood the words of the main general and mistakenly thought You Qi was complaining about the embarrassing situation of being caught in death.
Yu Luandao smiled suddenly, and said openly: "This trouble for us is not only because of Longyao, Hexi, Orange and Three States, but also the vitality. I am afraid that we will continue to cut the meat on the northern grassland. The Daxitti who had managed to suppress the Bodhisattva before the Bodhisattva may be starting to move around again. They originally had objections to the first attack on Beiliang. In the eyes of these guys who don’t see rabbits or scatter eagles, there are only hard bones underneath the whole body. Where there is no fat, no one would like it. Nothing can be compared to Jizhou, which is empty and empty. As long as you pass Jizhou, it will be the rich and fertile Central Plains with thousands of miles of fertile soil, countless gold and silver and population, grabbing soft hands. Otherwise, it’s okay to fight Liangliao, once and for all, as long as you hit Gu Jiantang on the ground, it will be a long drive south and a soldier approaching the city. Our trip to the gourd mouth, without killing the enemy, will definitely allow Dong Zhuohe, who insists to go to Beiliang first and then seek the Central Plains. Taipingling, itchy with hate, maybe you are jumping and cursing now, right?"
Su Wenyao is looking down one by one to check the arrows clustered in the quiver. They are all dense hardwood heavy rods. The arrows are very heavy, but they are still slightly different from the Northern Liang arrows. However, they generally belong to one type of arrow, which are two types of "close relatives" that are diametrically opposed to many bows and arrows in Liyang. The latter is more heavier to shoot and adhere to the "three strikes against the enemy" in the ancient military books. This is not the latter's sidestepping, but inland warfare is mostly pawn-to-pawn, and the advancement is naturally slower than the cavalry charge. The former Liangmang Yujian, even if it has the outstanding bravery of northern athletes, is still nothing more than the four words "breaking armor to death". In fact, the Northern Mang cavalry did not embark on this extreme road at the beginning, but was confronted for two decades. Being severely affected by Beiliang, which has better iron armor, otherwise the exquisite riding and shooting of Beimang, against most of the other Liyang frontiers, can often fly kites and consume people alive.
Su Wenyao casually dropped the two arrows with a crack on the shaft. After hearing the humorous remarks of the main general Yu Luandao, he laughed slightly and raised his head and said: "Those Xi Ti is not all stupid. , I also know that if we don’t take down our Beiliang, why do we go from Jizhou to the Guanguan to plunder the Central Plains, and what we hit all the way to Tai-Ancheng, it is all vain, how many people are we in Youqi? , If all the Northern Liang frontiers are left unattended, do they still want them in the Southern Dynasties? Maybe even the Northern Mang King Court has been smashed by us. It’s just that the reason is that it’s an individual who wants to do less and make more profit. They want to fight in Jizhou and fight in Liaodong. I, Su Wenyao, wish there were so many of them. We can kill many people in Beiliang."
Shi Yulu nodded and said solemnly: "Fatty Dong and that Taipingling are really damn!"
The main scout officer Fan Fen rushed forward and reported the military situation to several generals. "There are 800 horses 30 miles away from the south, and the armor is better than the previous Northern Mang cavalry we encountered. It should be the first unit that withdrew from the mouth of the gourd. Depending on the situation, if we continue to the south, at most we will run into two or three groups of small groups of cavalry as bait, and then we will soon be able to meet the Rouran cavalry."
Yu Luan's knife skin smiles, but his handsome face is full of the long-standing hostility. He said ferociously: "You don't care if you don't want to eat the bait, let's take this first. Eight hundred rides and fights! Shi Yulu, Su Wenyao, everything will follow the old rules!"
The enemy army with only 800 horses can fight 800, and the enemy can also fight 8,000. Now Yu Luan Dao has only three thousand horses, so everything can be done. How did you come to "have a good manner in your family", because in the final analysis, besides the Beimang rider on the bright side, You Qi's enemies now also have Youqi "self." Yu Luan Dao must take into account all potential battle damages such as the physical strength, energy, and war horse bow-crossbow of his own soldiers. Today, Youqi’s riding and shooting feel can be said to have reached the peak, but if there is too long a long fight, it will also lead to irreparable sequelae, which means that now Youqi can only fight a "three axe" battle, with the least The number of assaults quickly resolved the enemy, quickly withdrew from the battlefield, and quickly entered a safe area to rest. After receiving the military information from Fan Fen, the main force of Youqi began to actively slow down, and the front line was drawn to three levels. In the last battle, Su Wenyao, who was "bottom", led a thousand horses and Yu Luan led the first. Thousands of riders were in the center, and Shiyulu's thousand pawns escorted a large number of military horses to "the queen". Fan Fen's 400 most powerful scouts began to attack first, making a "circle" in front of the left wing to prevent the fish from slipping through the net. .
What Yu Luan Dao has to do is to rely on the advantage of the number of people to separate out the multiple charges that are equal to the same time, and try to pass by three times to take away the eight hundred riders. It is not a last resort and will never let the troops come back. rush ahead. You Qi's war horse couldn't hold it, nor could a **** who had been tenacious enough in combat. Abandon the more lethal but very cumbersome heavy weapons, mainly using the swords against the swords of the light cavalry to hedge, even if their hearts are bound to die, but on the line of death where the two sides meet, there will not be too many corpses left. , But under the direction of Yu Luan Dao, in addition to the fight outside the city of Jibei Silver Harrier, and the six battles outside the gourd mouth, Youzhou Qingqi were all required to kill in the charge. The price of this order is to kill, and Few people were killed, lightly wounded and re-fighted, and more severely wounded and killed. The most concealed and cold-blooded part of Yu Luan Dao's style of play is that You Qi can easily establish a victory from the beginning. After the war, there are not many Youzhou injured cavalry who left the main force and withdrew to the east. Shi Yulu and Su Wenyao knew very well, and the captains and captains knew too, but no one opposed it, and no one questioned it.
No matter how sultry the frontier poems are, they cannot express the cruelty on the battlefield that everyone has to commit suicide.
The Youzhou Cavalry has one man and three riders. Which horse does not have a saber with a death robe?
For this kind of extra load, even if the main general Yu Luandao is hard-hearted and demanding details, he can't bear to control it.
Outside the battlefield where the fight has not yet begun, a five-horse horse fence of five horses runs counter to the eight hundred horses, and rushes south, trying to convey important information about the southern main force that has encountered the Youzhou cavalry.
Suddenly, an inconspicuous little black spot appeared from the back of the flanks that bypassed the main battlefield. This figure ran like a thunder, and it was actually far faster than the horse.
He went around a semicircle, stopped on the way to Wuqi, and slipped out a flutter of dust with his feet on the yellow sand.
The five horse fences were stunned by the weird scene in front of them. A hundred steps away stood in front of them a thin child who was slanted with a northern sword.
This indifferent child began to hedge against Wuqi, and when he was 20 steps away from Weiyiqi, the child with a mysterious route trajectory had already dodged four arrows, jumped high, and caught the last one in the middle of the shot. The feather arrow in his chest hit the horse's head with a fist at the horse fence that drew the sword. The head burst and the whole horse with the front leg broken was almost lifted by one punch. The man was the captain. He threw out in front of the horse fence, and hit the back-sword child with another punch in the chest. He directly slammed a horse-riding fence behind him. The third rider was thrown through the throat with an arrow thrown by the child, and fell. Died, the horse stalls on the left and right sides that had escaped the catastrophe did not dare to love the fight, so they rushed forward and rushed forward.
The child turned around and ran wildly. After catching up with a horse-riding fence, he grabbed the tail of a war horse with both hands. His feet were certain. The running horse was stunned by him. The horse's tail broke off and neighed in pain. , Desperately add forward.
The child swept out one step at a time, and after standing side by side with the horse, he swept out and hit the horse's abdomen with a fist, and smashed the Beimang scout on the horse's back together with the horse, and the boy had no time to leave the stirrups. After his horse stall fell to the ground, he was abruptly hit by the back of the warhorse.
The child did not have the slightest amount of stagnation, and quickly caught up with the last frightened horse stall. He bent over, clenched a horse's hind legs with both hands, and twisted his feet on the spot to lift the horse's hoof off the ground. The war horse spun around in the air, and then slammed out.
The horse fence was thrown from behind the horse, struggling to stand up, the child came to him, pulled out the Beiliang knife from behind, and thrust it into the heart of the Beimang barbarian, then pulled it out and put it back in the scabbard. , The child calmly said: "Big man, the three hundred and seventy-ninth."
The Du Wei Fan Fen and the 400 scouts who rushed to see this scene from a distance, instead of speaking up, they started to line up north. Among them, Fan Fen helped the child bring a war horse, patted the Bei Liang Dao on his waist, and laughed softly: "Little General, if I die, the war knife will also belong to you, and I will not be greedy. Just help me slaughter fifty Beimang barbarians."
Yudilong jumped on the horse's back, stood with his sword in his sleeve, and the blood-stained child rolled his eyes.
Now Youzhou Cavalry likes to nickname this child named Yu Dilong as "Little General~IndoMTL.com~ Two days ago, Yu Dilong should have been arranged by Xu Fengnian to **** the sixty wounded cavalry to the east, but the child is still alive and dead. Ken, even if Xu Fengnian had an angry face, the child just held the war horse with the big man’s relic in one hand and the Beiliang knife on his back. He neither spoke nor left. Later, it was a slightly injured school. Wei took the initiative to ask to leave the main force and personally **** the wounded to retreat. Before leaving, he joked with the little general who had killed the Quartet in the previous wars and said that he should be owed fifty Beimang barbarians for his military merits. Xu Fengnian only agreed to the leeway. Stay. The child probably really respects Xu Fengnian, the master. Even if he stays in the army, he doesn’t dare to appear next to Yu Luandao and the others. He hangs on the cavalry’s tail alone, and never follows anyone. Talking. Apart from going out with Fan Fen’s scouts to spy on the military situation, he always followed behind the army so lonely and silently.
On the frontal battlefield, the North Mang Eight Hundred Cavalry rushed three times before and after, killing and wounding. The seventy or eighty fleeing rangers were also killed by Yu Dilong and Fan Fen's 400 scouts. All the Beimang riders who hadn't died were made up for by You Qi who was sweeping the battlefield.
Xu Fengnian used an iron spear to stabbing a Beimang Centurion who had resentment in his eyes before his death. He slightly raised his head and looked to the west. Outside the battlefield, more than ten horses watching the fire from across the bank appeared in the distance.
Xu Fengnian's heart sank, and he didn't see the familiar figure in his vision.
