The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade Chapter 217: Those under the magnificent (middle)
The setting sun went west, Hengshui City, the northernmost part of Jizhou, was about to close its gates, and the tower began to prepare to hang the red lanterns. At this moment, a **** scout and rider galloped over to the head of the city. After the soldier saw his face clearly, he raised his throat to make the most of the fallen city gate rise again. The scout with two arrows stuck in his back rushed in and screamed: "Emergency enemy situation, the Northern Mang army is coming!"
It didn't take long for Hengshui City to light up wolf smoke as a warning to the neighboring Silver Harrier City. Soon, the beacon towers south of the two cities across the Mercury Harrier lit up the smoke one after another. In less than half an hour, the entire northern part of Jizhou knew the terrible news of the 50,000 enemies of Beimang riding south!
The new defender of Hengshui City is a bloated middle-aged fat man with a surname Gao and Ying. This man is a prominent man from a prominent family in Jinan since the old Northern Han Dynasty. General Yang Shenxing’s Jinan infantryman is a considerable part of the army. They all came from the Gao clan in Jinan. Gao Ying didn't have time to put on his armour, so he hurried to Hengshui city head surrounded by his guards, his face pale. It wasn't that Gao Ying didn't want to run, but based on the military information passed by the scouts, the Northern Mang vanguard cavalry was already close at hand, and a large stock of horses went southward to block the way first.
Gao Ying’s teeth trembled, really regretting her intestines! I thought that after Wei Jingtang died in the battle, Jizhou General Yuan Tingshan, who had Lijiayanbao’s seven or eight thousand private cavalry forces as his direct line of combat power, fought several victories here, and Gu Jiantang, a great pillar country on the eastern border of Liaoning, also had good news. , I overestimated that since the Beimang Barbarian is struggling to fight Beiliang now, he will not divide his troops to Jizhou to fight the autumn breeze, so he has spent 300,000 taels of silver on the joints between General Yuan and Jingcheng, and leaned on. The little incense with Yang Shenxing, the veteran general, and a family from the capital grabbed the fat difference of the Hengshui guard. Nowadays, there are five thousand guards in the city in name, but the generals who don’t eat free money in Jizhou are harder to find than the three-legged toads, but now Yuan Tingshan is staring at them. The food looks much better, and most of them only dare to eat. One or two percent of the unpaid salary, at most 30%, but Gao Ying is not the eldest son of the family, he spent three hundred thousand taels of private money in his second room to become this official, so Hengshui City's real military strength is less than three thousand! Moreover, they are all oil soldiers drawn from Jinan, but can you blame him for being Gaoying? Although the archers on the border of Jibei are more familiar with horses and horses, they are also more expensive. A Jibei archer can do it. Two years ago, Ji Nan, who was still known as "the world's only one step forward," stepped out. The old foundation of Jizhou was taken away by Yang Shenxing. As a result, he suffered a big defeat on Guangling Road. Now Ji Nan, an elite with second-class combat power The steppers also put Yuan Tingshan in jail. Gao Ying wants to recoup his capital within three years. What else can he do besides doing something in Hengshui City?
Gao Ying turned his head and looked at Silver Harrier City. The guard Wei Kuanxiao over there was also as virtuous as his own. He had just bought an official hat that hadn't covered his hands. When they were young, they were friends and friends who spent time together. Cobbled out a fourth son of Jizhou. The surname Wei is worse than myself, and I dare not use the equipment in the city's warehouse. Wei Kuanxiao’s Silver Harrier is said to be emptied, and they are sold to several powerful soldiers in Jibei at low prices. The previous two days Please go to Yin Harrier City for a drink of flower wine. Wei Kuanxiao, the **** in the eyes of lard's heart-dropping money, even spent a lot of money and invited two red oirants from Zhoucheng to accompany the wine. The two galloped on a big bed and two rouge horses. When "fighting", Wei Kuanxiao also suggested this to him. He said that the money was too fast. With fifty carriages full of bows, crossbows, and guns, one round trip, you can get a small hundred thousand taels of silver into the account, and it is guaranteed to be unimpeded. Gao Ying was puzzled at the time. Although General Jizhou Yuan Tingshan said that he was not lenient in border affairs, he had always been very strict. Wei Kuanxiao laughed and scolded him as a pig's brain. Last name, Lee, Han.
Gao Ying understood in an instant, the Yanbao Li family, who is in love with Yuan Tingshan! And the Zhonglie Han family who was once hacked by the whole family and is now making a comeback! A Dazhu country with the military and political leadership of the two Liao Dynasty as the biggest backer, and the emperor's lieutenant Han Fang, who was sought after and promoted by his majesty! Gao Ying and Wei Kuanxiao did not know how to lead the army, but they were fascinated by the family, no matter how bad the way to be an official, Yuan Tingshan has continued to fight, but it is almost the culmination of being General Jizhou on the border. Otherwise, Lao Zhangren has already ruled the entire Liang Liao Dynasty. If the son-in-law is in charge of one Jizhou, it is not enough to come to the entire Hezhou, is it still worth it? ! Therefore, this requires the single seedling of the Han family in Jizhou to check and balance. No matter how many rewards the emperor grants, no matter how much military power he gives, the foundation is still shallow. The vice general Han Fang will be a border military commander worthy of the imperial court's trust and reliance for five years.
If you don't see the person, hear the voice first.
Gao Ying seemed to feel that the entire city was shaking.
With the last afterglow, at the end of Gaoying's field of vision, a black line suddenly appeared on the horizon.
Gao Ying's heart is as dead, and the Jibei line of defense is completely over.
This fat man who originally intended to come to Hengshui City to eat free money does not seem to have had time to make any money from smuggling at the border.
Gao Ying looked around blankly. Except for the personal squires brought from the Gao family, the guards of the city are all young and immature faces. I heard that in the northern part of Jizhou, you only need to wear armor and spear in the city to get one. A decent amount of military pay, and then all came to Hengshui City. They didn't even know that the previous guard, Jingtang, and the student of the old leader Zhang Julu, were forced to go out of the city to fight with the Northern Mang Cavalry. Eight hundred horizontal water riders and four thousand elite infantrymen died in the first battle. I don't even know that earlier, the 10,000 Youzhou cavalry soldiers who quietly crossed the border and rushed across the border made a big break here. This Hengshui city was actually not at all uneven.
Many soldiers in Hengshui City still have a fluke. They naively thought that the mighty Northern Mang cavalry was just coming to show off their power, or that Jizhou General Yuan Tingshan could soon lead his army to defeat the enemy, or Dazhuguo Gu Jiantang is coming with troops from Liaodong.

Wang Sui gathered 50,000 fine riders from the eastern frontier of Beimang in one breath. Qiu Nabo was as big as Shi Wei and Dong Nabo Wang Jingchong each had 10,000 knights, and three others bite the bullet and ignored the two. The young and strong general of the Great General Beimang "persuades" with 50,000 horses. Compared with the total force of the Beimang Eastern Front, which has gradually increased its troops from the Beiting grassland to nearly 300,000, it does not seem to be a painful one. , But to determine the trend of a large-scale war, the number of heads is very important, but not absolute. Beimang's new Eastern Front coach Wang then abducted these 50,000 elite soldiers, which was almost equal to dampening half of the Eastern Front.
On the Eastern Frontier, the two generals with similar qualifications as Liu Gui and Yang Yuanzan were inferior to Wang Sui in terms of authority. Secondly, the two of them simply couldn’t control the three commanders who were born in the grassland. Don't mention the sons of tycoons like Zheshiwei and Wang Jingchong, they can only watch these 50,000 people go to Jizhou, which is naturally unimaginable in the Liyang Dynasty.
Da Ruzhe Shiwei rode a horse like an ink on the grassland. He looked up at the outline of Hengshui City and said with a grinning smile: "Let’s enter the city and have dinner!"
There is still a long way to go before the start of the charge. Wang Jingchong did not drive to his own army of ten thousand people. He followed Qiu Nabo to the left and right beside Wang Sui, frowning and said: "The spy said that the guard of the two cities Gao Ying Wei Kuanxiao is always a wine bag and rice bag, but if the opponent fights hard, our night battle is disadvantageous. In addition, the 50,000 horses are all cavalry. Although it is no problem to dismount the horse to fight, he does not carry the siege equipment at all, and can really easily win it. These two important towns in Jibei?"
Wang Sui sneered: "In addition to the rapid changes in the battlefield, you have to pay attention to the situation outside the battlefield. When you have the opportunity to go to the Central Plains, you should do so. Wang Jingchong, what do you think of Yuan Tingshan? Why would he let two idiots garrison the Silver Harrier? He really doesn't have any spare troops in his hands? He retreats ten thousand steps and said that with him, Li Jiayan, who is a grasshopper on the line, has eight thousand private rides, and the riding battle is not weak. What can be the problem with defending the city? It is not clear that this is to make way for us. Otherwise, do you think he will wait for a few days, General Jizhou? Ask him to work with Nanzheng coach Lu Shengxiang's subordinates. Does Yuan Tingshan dare to say a word? Even if he dares, the boy's old man will be the first to clean him up!"
Da Ruzhe Shiwei said impatiently: "I don’t believe that Gao Ying and Wei Kuanxiao, the two grandsons, really have the courage of Wei Jingtang, let alone the ability of Wei Jingtang to win the two cities, whether we go south to Jizhou, Go west to Hezhou or return to the east at the end! There is a lot to do! Head coach, you can directly order the siege, and Wang Jingchong won't take it with me for the great work of Hengshui City!"
Wang Sui sneered and said: "Beat the city? Attack a fart city! If you want to die in battle, let me die in Youzhou."
Daru Zheshi Wei was stunned, "Where can I do it?"
Wang Sui looked at the border city shrouded in twilight and said, "Tell them, surrender not to kill, not to slaughter the city. Only give them half an hour to consider, plus one sentence, we only need food and soldiers in the city. As for people, as long as they are willing to take off their armor and get out of Hengshui City empty-handed, let’s let them go."
Daru Zheshi Wei muttered: "It's boring."
Wang Sui turned his head and said to Wang Jingchong: "Go and say to the three elders, Hengshui City belongs to you and Daru Zhe Shiwei, and Silver Harrier City belongs to the three of them."
Wang Jingchong nodded, and was about to ride away, only to hear Wang Sui calmly said: "When the soldiers of the two cities retreat from the south of the city, how to get the merits of the battle next is the business of the five of you. Um, Remember, leave a little bit of a live message to Yuan Tingshan, so that Jizhou knows that we are going all the way south. After this, according to the established arrangement, the two cities of Hengshui Silver Harrier each left three thousand soldiers and horses to defend the city, and everyone else Follow me to Hezhou."
After Wang Jing went away from Chongyuan, Wang Sui smiled and asked: "Sir Qiu Nabo, I heard that you want to have dinner in progress?"
Daru Shiwei with hot eyes said: "The two or three thousand people in Hengshui City are barely enough for me and the children to eat. I can’t get enough to eat, but I can be hungry for a while."
Wang Sui was expressionless, raised his head and silently looked at Hengshui City, which had resisted many prairie cavalry since it was built.
At the end of the summer of the first year of Xiangfu, the two cities of Hengshui Silver Harrier in Jizhou fell into the hands of Beimang. It is rumored that the main force on the eastern line of Beimang will bypass the two-Liaoning line of defense and march southward with Jizhou as a breakthrough.
Liyang Chaoye shook.
Not long after the newly appointed Huainan Road Economic Officer Han Lin took office, he was urgently named Guan Ge University Scholar by the court.
The Huainan Road Jiedu made Cai Nan the second-ranked general of Zhenxi.
Jizhou General Yuan Tingshan was awarded the Pingxi General of the third rank by the imperial court.
Lieutenant General Han Fang of Jizhou was granted the military authority to allow temporary expansion of 10,000 troops.
Along with this imperial decree, there was an oral secret decree sent by the **** Song Tanglu, the **** Song Tanglu.
Jizhou war affairs must be limited to Jibei!

The sound of the horn resounded across the vast land of Qingcang City.
Liuzhou finally ushered in the first magnificent battle that swept almost all the forces on both sides of the Western Front.
The 30,000 foot soldiers of the Longguan nobles, as the main force of the siege, slowly spread the formation front and launched an offensive against Qingcang City.
Wazhu Junzi Pavilion is closely guarded by the cavalry of the four inner towns in the southern part of the infantry, facing the Dragon Elephant Army.
Liu Gui, the head coach of the Western Front, sat on horseback and personally supervised the siege of the battle. Behind him were the 30,000 Liu Family Army who were still standing still, and the 10,000 guard cavalry brought by the Great King Tuoba Bodhisattva of the North Campus.
An aristocratic military commander from the Longguan surname named A, did not care about whether the siege went smoothly, and turned his head from time to time to look at the large northern Liang black armor lined up three miles away.
Can the cavalry in the four towns of Gusai Prefecture really withstand the attack of the Dragon Elephant Army? If the dragon elephant army opens up the formation of one's own cavalry, even the siege infantry will break through it together. It only takes two back and forth, and this battle is unnecessary! Do you want to offer Beiliang both hands the biggest result of the Liang Mang war? Isn't it that General Liu didn't understand that the battle in Liuzhou was not at all the gains and losses of a small Qingcang city? In order to lay down Qingcang City, is it worth the whole western route to take such a risk?
He finally couldn't help it, and rode his horse to Liu Gui's side. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Gui said coldly: "I have decided, no need to say more!"
The commander of Beimang, who had a good background, was also annoyed, but he still tried his best to suppress his anger, and tried his best to calm down and advise this old man who is highly regarded by his Majesty: "General, it was directly separated like this. Riding in an array, the risk is really too great. It’s not difficult for Xiaoqingcangcheng to win. Let’s hide 20,000 in the 30,000 infantry... No, even 10,000 heavy armored pawns are waiting for the dragon elephant The army’s rushing formation is also okay. It is so desperate to despise the strength of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry’s rushing formation, the general, it’s not appropriate!"
Liu Gui did not speak.
The military commander finally said angrily: "General, you are taking the life of Thirty Thousand Longguan Erlang as a trifle for your own official status!"
Nowadays, undercurrents are surging in the Xijing temple of the Southern Dynasty. Of course, all the generals of the Western Front from the Southern Dynasty have heard that it is considered polite to say that Liu Gui's name is not worthy of the truth. What is more polite is to directly ask your Majesty to change his commander, even the candidate. It’s very clear that in addition to the Tuoba Bodhisattva, who is already on the border of Liuzhou, even the seed sandalwood that shines on the eastern line of Hulukou has been picked up. If it is reasonable to say that the military **** Tuoba Bodhisattva can be launched, then take the seed. Tan said that things are simple and just hit Liu Gui's old face. How long is the general Liu Gui's military career? Huang Songpu, the king of the old southern courtyard, returned after resignation and replaced the ineffective Liu Gui as the head coach of the Western Front. He was undoubtedly the loudest in the Southern Dynasties. Therefore, the Eastern Front Army, which has been stationed in Liuzhou for a long time, has been spreading all kinds of stories.
At this moment, the general's complexion changed drastically, and a rider slowly approached, the man in light armor on the horseback said solemnly: "Go back to the battle."
The general swallowed, and without a word, he turned his horse back to the infantry formation.
Liu Gui glanced at the visitor and asked with a smile: "Great King of the North Campus, do you say that the Dragon Elephant Army dare to swallow the bait? The 30,000 slaughtered infantry, the four-town cavalry with weak combat power. , The bait is big enough."
The visitor was Tuoba Bodhisattva, and he glanced at Qingcangcheng, "Wang Lingbao may not be able to see through the general's intentions, but Li Mofan, who is also the Vice-General of the Dragon Elephant Army, can mostly see it, but that city With Yang Guangdou and Chen Xiliang, if Li Mofan is smart enough, he will follow the trend, otherwise he won’t even want to be promoted in the North Liang Border Army in the future. Even if Li Mofan is deserted enough, but as long as the Dragon Elephant Army initiates a charge and is deadlocked, he will be Li Mofan General Manager Li Mofan. I can’t see death without saving, I believe he doesn’t have that iron heart."
Liu Gui laughed and said: "On the surface, this handsome, precarious old guy needs to be urgently ill to be hospitalized. The battle between Hutoucheng and Xiaguangcheng in Beiliang is going on, and Liuzhou also needs a big victory. It’s inspiring, so it’s time for both parties."
Liu Gui smiled, "By the way, if it weren’t for the other 20,000 soldiers of the Great King of the North Campus, who were on the way to come quickly, even if Liu Gui had lost his commanding position, this battle would still be impossible. Fight. In Liuzhou, you can’t eat all the dragon and elephant army in one go. It's meaningless to fight and fight. The battle between Liang and Mang was originally to use Liuzhou as the winner~IndoMTL.com~ Now it's just a detour. After a long circle, I finally came back."
Tuoba Bodhisattva hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "After this battle, you will probably still be recalled to the Southern Dynasty, General."
Liu Gui smiled, "It's okay, just take a position for Fatty Dong on the midline."
Toba Bodhisattva chuckled softly: "General Liu, don't worry, you and I will enter the Central Plains together in the future."
Liu Gui nodded.
The old man said with emotion: "I just can't help these southern erlangs who fought bravely. They came from the desert and died in the desert. They didn't even see the prosperity of the Central Plains. Even a glance is good. "
