The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade Chapter 220: Northern Liang 4 Battle (2)

When that sword swept away from thousands of miles to escape the summer town, before Mr. Bai Lian had broken the secret. [Full text reading]

Liuzhou is already a big battle.

Three Liuzhou officials, two Wen and one Wu, walked on the front of the city, located near the side of the parapet wall, which was slightly shorter than the outer wall, because there were constantly beimang small groups roaring past the city, as few as thirty. It would be two hundred, riding and shooting from time to time, so as not to cause damage to the guards. In fact, it is almost the same as visiting this city for sightseeing, full of strong provocation.

The only old man among the three, wearing a formal third-grade purple robe civilian official uniform, embroidered with peacock officials to make up the child, just now a few sharp arrows passed over the old man’s head, and the old man smiled and said: "The evil guest is here. I like to throw shoes in front of other people's houses so much. If I look back, if I catch the opportunity..."

Speaking of this, the old man paused for a while, turned his head and smiled and looked at the young man wearing armor outside the military attache's robe, "General Kou, does this officer have such a chance?"

Cai Junchen, who proclaimed himself the Dragon King of the Western Regions, was thrown by the Northern Liang King to Huangnan County, Lingzhou, as the county guard. He lived with his wife Yu Rourou as a couple, and the Dragon King Mansion in Qingcang City was changed to the residence of Liuzhou Cishi.

This old man is the highest-ranking civil servant in Liuzhou, the governor of Yang Guangdou, and the official assistant in the shirt next to the old man is Chen Xiliang, a poor man from Jiangnan Province who has roots in Liuzhou and does not want to leave.

When Qingcangcheng noticed the Liu Gui army’s intention to attack the city, the Cishi Mansion had a fierce dispute over whether to defend or withdraw. Two sharply opposed camps evolved, the older Liuzhou Officials all advocated that if you stay in Qingshan without worrying about firewood, you might as well abandon Qingcang City and go to Linyao Army Town under the **** of the Dragon Elephant Army. As long as the people are still alive, there will be no problems with the military and political operation of Liuzhou. The younger generation of officials, whether they were born in Jiangmen court or the scholars of the Central Plains who went to Liang from other places, strongly demanded that they defend Qingcang City firmly and fight for the excellent fighters of the Dragon Elephant Army to set Liuzhou in World War I. Originally, as long as the two people reached an agreement, the quarrel would not intensify, but the problem is that the old and respectful governor Yang Guangdou unexpectedly supported the defense of the city to the end, and the prestige among the refugees in Liuzhou was almost higher than that of the young prince. The intercepted Chen Xiliang, on the contrary, suggested that the governor's mansion be transferred to Lin Rumor. As a result, the two sides were deadlocked.

Then the new General Liuzhou entered Qingcang City at this moment.

Kou Jianghuai stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the rough parapet wall. He didn't say anything about it, and he didn't pat his chest to guarantee anything with the old governor.

This ancient military town used by the Dafeng dynasty to control the vast Western Regions is now the largest military town in Liuzhou, which is the closest to Liangzhou. This city wall is a decoration, although it is urgent after being included in the territory of Beiliang Road Reinforced, but it still makes Kou Jianghuai, who is used to seeing the Central Plains Xiongcheng, feel ridiculous. This young Liuzhou general who rushed to this place with hundreds of horses, temporarily performed his duties in a house near the Cishi Mansion, but a huge territory comparable to the whole There are only a handful of Liuzhou in the old Beiliang Road that can be deployed by Kou Jianghuai. For example, the most deterrent force in Liuzhou today, the 30,000 Dragon Elephant Army, is directly under the Duhu Mansion, and the commander Xu Longxiang With the two lieutenants Li Mofan and Wang Lingbao, none of them can be moved by him. If Kou Jianghuai dared to intervene in the specific lifting of the Dragon Elephant Army, I am afraid General Liuzhou would have done it. Lin Yao, the soldiers and soldiers of the two towns of Fengxiang, Kou Jianghuai has not known from beginning to end, and now he has only four thousand green army in Qingcang City, and the more than ten thousand refugees who have gathered together with Chen Xiliang to drive. Although the single-soldier combat was pretty good, and the defending city barely made do, Kou Jianghuai didn't know what else he could do besides giving Liu Gui military merits to fight on a large battlefield.

So he, the General Liuzhou who is determined to make a big show in the Western Regions, is worse than a clever woman who can't cook without rice. He doesn't even have a decent stove at the moment.

Kou Jianghuai walked near the outer wall, looked at the flying dust of Beimang's riders, and whispered softly: "Master Cishi is going to stand fast because of this retreat, Liuzhou has changed from a balance of power to a whole. The disadvantage of not having the initiative to speak of, affected the whole body, causing the connection between Liuzhou and Liangzhou to be torn into a big hole. The army town of Beimang and the South Dynasty and Dongzhuo's middle line can continue to transport troops to this point, which will cause damage. The entire Liangzhou layout. Mr. Chen wants to retreat because he is worried that the Dragon Elephant Army will fall into a trap and fight against Liu Gui's army outside Qingcang City. Once the Dragon Elephant Army loses its role in containing the army on the western line of Beimang..."

Chen Xiliang unceremoniously interrupted Kou Jianghuai’s words, “Although I am not well-versed in military affairs, but I also know that Liu Gui can tolerate it so far. It must be a final battle. Qingcangcheng is the bait. I even It is certain that Liu Gui’s army attacking Qingcang will not be too swift at first, but will only induce and force the dragon elephant army to increase its strength bit by bit, until all 30,000 dragon elephant troops are in the quagmire. And I am not advocating that Qingcang city does not Defending, instead, all officials from the governor’s mansion retreated to Linyao Army Town, and Qingcang City still had me and the 14,000 people defending to the end. In this way, the Dragon Elephant Army could attack or retreat, and would not be trapped in the quagmire. Come."

Today’s Chen Xiliang has a dark skin, and there is no such thing as the quiet and relaxed style of the weak scholar at Baoguo Temple. In short, he was originally a handsome scholar who might have shown fox spirits in the ancient temple of the deserted mountain. There are really foxes in the world, and they don't want to pay attention to this man who works all day and his hands are full of calluses.

In the past two days, Yang Guangdou coldly snorted: "Don't mention me Beiliang, almost the whole Liyang knows that in the heart of Beiliang King, you Chen Xiliang alone can be worthy of the entire governor's mansion!"

Chen Xiliang frowned and said: "Then tell the Long Xiangjun who is in charge of the escort, Chen Xiliang will also withdraw to Linyao Army Town."

Yang Guang grinned and said: "You are the idiots who can be the generals of Li Mo Fan Lingbao, all of them are good! I, Yang Guangdou, died, it’s good to say, if you Chen Xiliang died in Qingcangcheng, die Under the eyelids of Li Mofan Wang Lingbao's two dignified Dragon Elephant Army lieutenants, do they still want to climb in the Northern Liang Border Army?!"

Kou Jianghuai interrupted the dispute between the two with a smile, "Those who make good use of soldiers, do not worry about victory before defeat, this is indeed a good word in the military books."

To tell the truth, Yang Guangdou is very curious about this young West Chu survivor who is almost among the judges. According to Kou Jianghuai’s temperament in the series of wars on Guangling Road, he is not a general who gains and loses over time. On the contrary, his overall military strength is inferior. Kou Jianghuai is best at large-scale long-distance raids, always allowing himself to take advantage of the local battlefield, so that the entire eastern front of the Guangling Army has been sifted, and Zhao Yi’s elite troops are screaming, and finally they even went out of the city to rescue. The courage was gone, and I was afraid that he would take the initiative to hit the trap, and then Kou Jianghuai, after annihilating all the main field troops on the eastern front of Zhao Yi, all the city gates were completely out of touch, meaningless. Yang Guangdou originally thought that after Kou Jianghuai came to Qingcang City, he would support Chen Xiliang and the group of officials and aides in the governor’s mansion who wanted to be steady. Thinking privately, Yang Guangdou also worried that this was the young Kou Jianghuai who was eager to establish prestige in Liuzhou. The offensive and defensive battle of Qingcang City came to accumulate military merits for himself.

Yang Guangdou hesitated for a moment, and decided not to hide, hide and tangle, and asked bluntly: "General Kou is a little sure, can you tell me something about this official?"

Kou Jianghuai looked at Beimang Camp in the distance, "If Qingcang City is only Qingcang City, and all variables are only inside and outside Qingcang City, without external interference, the soldiers and horses of both sides are the people on the bright side, then I only have 10% certainty to make the situation in Liuzhou better."

Chen Xiliang smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Kou Jianghuai continued: "The situation in Liuzhou is different from the east line of Guangling Road where I was originally. There, it seems that there are many gates in the city, but they are all dead. The generals of the Guangling army in the Liyang court all walked through a dead end, as if there would be no soul without a city. In Liuzhou, it is very different. This is a battlefield destined to be determined by the cavalry. The two towns of Linyao and Fengxiang The soldiers and horses will be a small variable, and the back hand hidden by Liu Gui is a big one. It is also a distant water to fight a nearby fire. The key is to see who enters the battlefield when it is more appropriate to reinforce oneself."

Kou Jianghuai pointed his finger to the east, even further east than the army camp of Liu Gui. "The real variable is actually in the hands of Beiliang. As long as there are 10,000 cavalry in Liangzhou going to Liuzhou, there is no need for it. It's a big snow dragon ride, and it doesn't need to be Qidangguo's six thousand iron statues. As long as it is the most common Liangzhou border cavalry, it is enough."

Yang Guangdou shook his head and said: "Although the official advocates to defend Qingcang City firmly, he also knows that the survival of Qingcang City cannot wait for the Liangzhou Cavalry to arrive. We can only rely on Qingcang City 14 Thousands of people and 30,000 dragon and elephant troops outside the city, plus at most the seven to eight thousand cavalry troops temporarily drawn from the two towns of Linyao and Fengxiang."

Kou Jianghuai laughed and said: "Anyway, we are already defending Qingcang City. It is not a bad thing for us to think more."

Kou Jianghuai turned his head and smiled at Chen Xiliang, who was worried and said: "In order to soothe the hearts of the people, so that they will not be collapsed in a war, Mr. Labor is going to have a'liar about the military situation' with the refugees, saying that the Beiliang border gate is on the way. On the way here, as long as Qingcang City persists for five days without being broken, this Liuzhou will not even have a foothold for a Beimang savage."

Chen Xiliang's face was a little angry.

Kou Jianghuai deliberately turned a blind eye and asked with a smile: "Why, sir, I can’t bear it? I think it’s against my heart? In fact, if you think about it from another angle, it’s easy. Since Liangzhou reinforcements have to defend the city, morale is high. It’s better to kill a lot less than the morale. My husband doesn’t want Qingcang City to be attacked in one or two days. The 14,000 people who are scattered everywhere, can withstand the red-eyed Beimang army, how many times? My husband is a serious scholar and may not know much about military affairs. The battlefield with the most deadly deaths is often not during the siege, not the cavalry collision or the cavalry breaking the formation, but the massacre after the city is broken. It’s chasing and killing rout soldiers in the wild."

Chen Xiliang asked two questions, "General Kou is willing to fight to the end with Qingcang City? Are you really willing to die in this military town in the Western Region?"

Kou Jianghuai seems to have the suspicion of avoiding the most important, and speaking in a flat tone: "I Kou Jianghuai came to Liuzhou to win the war as a general Liuzhou. I am not afraid of death, but I also regret my life."

Chen Xiliang bid farewell and left.

Kou Jianghuai smiled, not caring.

Yang Guangdou did not follow Chen Xiliang down the city, and sighed: "General Kou should be able to see that Chen Xiliang has already treated Liuzhou as his home in Qingcangcheng, so why would he add salt to his wounds? Moreover, with Chen Xiliang's temperament, once he has a bad impression of someone, it may be difficult for him to change his life. General Kou is not doing a one-off business in Liuzhou, he is here to make meritorious deeds. In that case, why bother with Chen Xiliang? "

Kou Jianghuai asked back: "Is Chen Xiliang just a gentleman who would rather take the straight?"

Yang Guangdou shook his head and said: "That would be too light of him. Chen Xiliang may not be the next Li Yishan. Compared with Xu Beizhi who is in Lingzhou, I am more optimistic about Chen Xiliang."

Kou Jianghuai stretched out his hand and slid over the slightly hot arrow on the wall, and whispered: "The spy sent from Liuzhou to Liangzhou is just a matter of destiny. I am betting that Liangzhou has such an insight. The characters...In short, this time Liuzhou either lost everything or made a lot of money."

Yang Guangdou said with emotion: "As long as you give me another half a year to build a rough Fengsui system on the southern Liuzhou line, you won't be so passive. It's a pity that time will not wait for me!"

Kou Jianghuai has complicated eyes. No one knows what the general Liuzhou, who took over the hot potato as soon as he took office, is thinking about.

————

The Dragon Elephant Army camp south of Qingcang City is different from the resentment and undercurrent Liu Gui army, and the indecision of Qingcang City is also different.

From top to bottom, the entire dragon elephant army has no distractions. Last year, it drove straight into Beimang and almost swept through most of Gusai Prefecture. It was beaten to build the Junzi Pavilion and the four military towns of Ligu Maolong. Finally, Even Dong Zhuo had to go to battle in person, and he still lost about five thousand elite private troops. In the beginning of the spring this year, the Qiang cavalry who had eaten more than 8,000 of them known as the ghosts of the desert, and the military spirit of the Dragon Elephant Army were accumulated in such a tough battle. Before Xu Longxiang entered the dragon elephant cavalry army, the lieutenant Li Mofan and Scarface Wang Lingbao were already independent frontier generals. In the past ten years, when did they not fight the Beimang barbarians?

The young man in black sits on a small soil **** with the amazing black tiger lying next to him. It is dozing lazily, occasionally shaking its body, just like a big dusty yellow sand.

Li Mofan and Wang Lingbao stood not far away with their horses, and their fierce-looking Scarfaces asked softly: "Depending on the situation, the Beimang barbarian will start his hand tomorrow. We must fight this battle, but what? How to play, Lao Li, do you have any tactics?"

Li Mofan’s war horse is like a mobile arsenal, not to mention a iron gun, a bow and two light crossbows, and a pouch filled with a short halberd, and Li Mofan himself hangs a sword and sword. . After hearing Wang Lingbao's question, the vice-general of the Dragon Elephant Army, who has been having mixed reputations in terms of character, said in a bad mood: "Zhang Fa? The 30,000 Dragon Elephant Army is all cavalry. Isn't it the same as riding on opposite horses and riding on opposite steps? What trick? The old man Liu Gui made it clear that he was using Qingcangcheng as bait to catch the big fish of our Dragon Elephant Army, so let's just bite the hook, but we have to pull this fisherman into the water and tell them that it is not so easy to get chestnuts out of the fire. , It’s easy to become a gangster."

Wang Lingbao said with a smile: "We, Lieutenant General Li, are also nervous. Let’s put it aside. When you talk about how to use soldiers, it’s all the same. I can’t wait for every standard cavalry to use the blade. If you do, you can talk about the last hour without breathing."

Li Mofan's face was gloomy and did not refute.

Wang Lingbao leaned in and asked quietly: "Is he worried that he can't stop Tuoba Bodhisattva?"

Li Mofan shook his head, "The two sides added together almost 150,000 troops. With such a huge battlefield, a great master of Wuping is not that important, and Tuoba Bodhisattva, who has no say in this northern mang and western line army, even if he participates in the war, Although he can influence the battle to a certain extent, he cannot really determine the battle."

Wang Lingbao rolled his eyes and said: "Then what are you worried about? What kind of bird is the cavalry in the four towns of Gusai, you don't know, unless it is Liu Gui who uses heavy armored infantry as the center of the army and refuses to arrange it to death. The horse formations, and then place all the cavalry on the two wings, and use this most rigid head-shrinking tortoise tactic to deal with the dragon and elephant army, so we will have no chance to speak."

Li Mofan still shook his head, "If such a Beimang casually picks up a mediocre general, it will be a mechanical play, it is not Liu Gui."

Wang Lingbao was also a little irritable. He suddenly remembered something and asked curiously: "The general Liuzhou, whose surname is Kou, said he wants us to leave him with five thousand elite troops. No matter what the situation, he is not allowed to use it~ IndoMTL.com~ What's the matter? Doorway? Really promise him?"

Li Mofan said helplessly: "Anyway, the general has promised, you can do it."

Long silence.

Wang Lingbao suddenly smiled and said: "Lao Li, I didn't expect that the large group of civil servants in Qingcangcheng never went to the rumor in the end. Do you think this is the only situation in this world, is it only in Beiliang? But? It's really not that Wang Lingbao has no conscience. As long as I think that these gang of literary and ink officials might show up in the city to learn how to bow and shoot arrows, I really want to laugh."

Li Mofan also had a little smile on his face.

Wang Lingbao subconsciously touched the scar on his face and asked: "Old Li, how many years have we been fighting together?"

Li Mofan was taken aback for a moment, but only replied: "Forgot."

Wang Lingbao laughed, "I forgot too."

In short, it has been many years. R1292
