The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade Chapter 287: Wind snow and iron ride down the south of the Yangtze River (10)

Going all the way south, except for the top of the lofty mountains, there is almost no snow. 【】

Liaoqiao is the coldest in spring.

The Northern Liang Cavalry advances more than 120 miles to the southeast, which is equivalent to entering Guangling Road. Although it is far away from the real battlefield, nowadays, Wu Chongxuan, the new military official of the Liyang Department of War, is confronted with the main force of the West Chu breakout force. The front line is still a long way away, but even if the generals and captains who do not need to grasp the first-hand battle situation remind them, just relying on the marching route, there are more and more scouts in Liyang, it is enough to make this The general situation of the Northern Liang Cavalry Army is that it is usually only the intimacy of washing and feeding horses, which can not help but reveal a bit of killing. At dawn, half an hour before the army was pulled out of the camp, the Northern Liang King Xu Fengnian, who temporarily acted as the chief general of this iron cavalry, summoned all the generals and lieutenants in a temporary military tent, including Yuan Zuozongning, Emei Hong Shuwen, and a total of sixteen. People, there is no table in the big tent. The half-foot wide map of Guangling Road is hung on the wall. The main gate city has been clearly recorded. Even the number of troops stationed everywhere is carefully marked with meticulous vermilion small letters, to the point of accuracy. Hundreds of people.

Xu Fengnian stood on the side of the map, still dangling the famous sword crossing the river **** that he had robbed from Jiang Ao Ding in the past. He just took off the cold knife, and Xu Fengnian watched the riders who were standing in an arc. The general raised his sword and drew a route on the map that was enough to shock the Liyang Military Department Yamen. He smiled and said, "Next we will pass through Lvhe County, passing through the two counties of Weishui and Baxia, and formally enter. Guangling Road. Perhaps we walked too slowly in Huaibei and Huainan Road, which caused the imperial army to be caught off guard, so we could not keep up with our steps. Otherwise, the Jizhou cavalry should arrive at Duoshanling two days ago. In the Sanin County area of ​​the trail, we first intercepted us, using the Wufang and Songyun two cities as a support to stand by and wait for assistance. When the Gyeonggi army of the Ministry of War Xu Gong, united with local soldiers and horses, they jointly defended this natural line of defense with a favorable location. , Forcing our army to advance more than 80 miles to the south and detour east into Guangling. But in this way, we must collide with the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou who are rushing north. As long as we delay a little, the west of the 20,000 army is known as the army. Shu will arrive in great strength."

Speaking of this, Xu Fengnian paused briefly, and hooked the corners of his mouth, "It's a pity that the stubborn son-in-law of the Gu family still runs a little bit slower, so it is estimated that Xu Shilang has already pointed at General Jizhou's My nose is spitting. But if I have a chance to stand in front of Shi Lang Xu, I must say a few words for the General Jizhou, "You **** Xu Gong hides in the right wing of Jizhou slowly, why should we be tired? The dog-like Jizhou cavalry hurried up to give Beiliang the iron cavalry? Who didn’t know that the big snow dragon rode up and became a cavalry for Beiliang, and the dismounting step did not lose to the Youzhou infantry? I came to the Central Plains to fish. The credit is not the rush to reincarnate!'"

Except for the unsmiling Yuan Zuozong, the generals in the tent burst into laughter, especially the cavalry veterans who fought in the Spring and Autumn Wars, who have grinned very loudly. Although most of these people are generals and colonels obtained in Beiliang. Before going to Liang, when he was still a small pawn, most of them heard the bragging of the old lieutenants of the respective army, saying that the generals always used the enemy to start the battle before the battle. It is said that the battle of the west wall During the hardest time, Xichu Ye Baikui, who was known as the First Soldier of the Spring and Autumn Period, did not escape.

When the laughter stopped, Xu Fengnian calmed down his relaxed expression and said solemnly: "Our Snow Dragon Cavalry still has more than 10,000 troops, but what is the real combat power? My family knows what happened to my family, and the gourd mouth completely wiped out Yang Yuan Zanxi. In the battle of the line army, my Daxue Dragon Cavalry had the greatest feat, but the casualties were by no means a small number. There were 3,400 people who died in the battle! The soldiers who had to withdraw from the frontier army because of their injuries also had more than 1,200 afterwards. Ten thousand people, in the end almost only half of the veterans are left. I might as well say here to offend the two heavy cavalry. Their casualties are also heavy, but relatively speaking, I dare to let these two cavalry follow The left and right cavalry in Liangzhou selected people, even from the elite Youzhou cavalry and a few local garrisons in Lingzhou, but for the Snow Dragon Cavalry, not to mention Lingzhou, even Youzhou I didn’t drew even one ride! Choosing candidates from Liangzhou Guanwai, Xu Fengnian can slap my chest and say that every new recruit has gone through the double screening of Qingliangshan and Duhufu. Every new captain and their battlefield resumes, Xu Fengnian is even more so. I have seen it with my own eyes, and I have to nod before Chu Lushan and Yuan Zuozong agree together before I can go to the post. But even so, compared to the big snow dragon ride that rushed to Hulukou, it is obvious that this big snow dragon ride now..."

All the generals in the tent who have made great achievements outside the Guan feel a sense of suffocation. It is not only the title of the King of Northern Liang on the young man, but also not only the **** of the rivers and lakes, but also Xu Fengnian through this What he has done in the past few years has gradually accumulated personal prestige bit by bit. To become the commander of an army, you don't need to be the kind of tens of thousands of enemies who charge and fight, not only Xu Xiao, even Gu Jiantang, as a great master, did not take the lead in the Spring and Autumn Wars in his early years, especially Chen Zhibao. It is actually enough to win the battle and afford the defeat. And the young vassal king in front of everyone, the battlefield, the temple, the rivers and lakes, it seems that they have never lost. Of course, it is said that in a certain battlefield, our King of Northern Liang had suffered a big defeat. Even the heroic generals like Yan Wenluan and Chen Yunchui occasionally heard subordinates mentioning it sneakily and never scolded them. On the contrary, they showed only the great masters. The kind of knowing smile that I know.

After selling a small pass, Xu Fengnian said solemnly: "Obviously, now this heavy snow dragon cavalry army, if you want to say what Jizhou fine riding the Gyeonggi army, there is still no difficulty."

This time, even Yuan Zuozong couldn't help but tolerate.

Xu Fengnian said: "I will take you this time

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Let’s walk in the muddy waters of Guangling Road. Generally, people in Beiliang certainly don’t know the truth. It's true. "

Without waiting for everyone to express their opinions, Xu Fengnian said in a deep voice: "No matter what, anyone who complains, or even who wants to scold me, will wait to return to Beiliang. This time, except for Cai Nan’s Lianghuai Frontier army, we have to show up. Next, before facing Wu Chongxuan’s army of northern Xinjiang, my aim is to be able to fight without fighting. Even if I ride here, I will lose a hundred imperial soldiers and horses. , It is also a loss-making business. Of course, Xu Gong and Yuan Tingshan have to stop them to the end, then fight, and fight them once! Before that, I have something to explain to you first. The real bad battle is still with Wu Chongxuan’s contest, because this trip broke into Guangling Road, besides I have to pick up one person, you also have to take the opportunity to absorb a certain number of Western Chu’s "broken army". Age, on the battlefield will appear as a small group of fleeing cavalry, then we will provide them with Northern Liang war horses and light armor, of course, as well as cold swords, quickly disperse this soldiers into our army, after this Yuan Tonghui will lead you out of the Western Front, and I will join you in one day at most."

Xu Fengnian’s Liangdao pointed heavily on the map, “It’s no surprise that Xu Gong’s soldiers and horses from Gyeonggi and Yuan Tingshan’s Jizhou cavalry will meet here, and Xu Gong will use the high-walled city of Chaisang County as a base. , Cheye’s Xishu infantry and Qingzhou army are located in the rear and south of our army respectively. Each is supported by city passes. The enemy’s entire front presents a half-arc. Although the terrain on both sides of Chaisang is flat, the water network Vertical and horizontal, it is not conducive to the brigade cavalry galloping through, because there is only one wide official road that has been driven by the Chaisang government to jointly destroy the people, especially every two hundred steps, digging out trenches with a width of more than ten feet, if you come again A slightly heavy spring rain will be even more detrimental to our advancement. It is reported that Xu Gong’s army carries a large number of heavy crossbows with a large inventory of the Ministry of War, and more than 1,700 heavy armors, of which the Dagongying Shenbi battalion has a total of 4,000. Naturally, while forcing us to dismount and fight, we must defend Chaisang firmly. If we choose to bypass Chaisang City and stagnate on that official road, it is very likely that we will completely lose our original initiative as a cavalry and be surrounded. There are 10,000 people who are back and forth, and more than 60,000 people on the front stretch freely. Moreover, the opponent's coach is Xu Gong, a well-known general in Liyang. Therefore, for us, it is only a bad idea to fight against that Chaisang City. "

Hong Shuwen cautiously said: "Master, the geographical situation near Chaisang will finally be looked at. If you take a detour to the north, you will have to make a big circle, and there is also a Beigu city similar to Chaisang, but if Let's change the established marching route, quickly go south, take off the Qingzhou soldiers and horses that have not yet arrived at Chaisang, and then act as soldiers on Jing'an Road. It would be more interesting to think about it. Now everyone knows that Jing'an Road is from Jing'an King Zhao Xun. At the time of the economic envoys, the three masters in charge had a big gap with us in Beiliang. Even if Xu Gongming knew that our original intention was to change the battlefield, he could not bear the risk of war on Jing’an Road. Being led by our noses, as long as they leave Chaisang, especially if the Jizhou Cavalry and the Gyeonggi Army are out of touch, then our opportunity will come, but the only thing we have to pay attention to is the number of crossbowmen we dragged behind. Kill some enemy scouts hanging from their tails."

Xu Fengnian looked innocent and said: "Am I like the kind of person who does not hesitate to fight for revenge?"

Hong Shuwen was anxious and silent.

Yuan Zuozong first laughed weirdly: "Doesn't it look like?"

You all looked at each other to lead, and then burst into laughter with no face.

Xu Fengnian had expected this for a long time, and soon laughed: "If this is the case, then do it to the end, Niu Qianzhu, you lead Qianqi to intercept the army of Western Shu, even if you release news along the way, you will be "remembering the old". Banner! No one believed that we came to quell the rebellion anyway, so it just happened to settle their wild thinking."

A dark-skinned and burly man asked with an urn: "Master, is the thousand rides missing?"

Xu Fengnian thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Then let Pang Jianrui lead the Qianqi policy with a strong momentum."

The charcoal-like man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The prince, that’s not what I meant, a captain who is a big captain, he has never received more than two thousand soldiers and horses in his life, so I don’t follow the prince this time. The opportunity to come to the Central Plains to stroll around, or pretend to be a general, I dare not compare with the prince, as long as two thousand rides are enough, it is not good, let Lao Pang borrow me five hundred rides..."

The more the man said, the lower his voice became, and he was obviously a little guilty.

Xu Fengnian raised his foot to make a kick, and Niu Qianzhu, Lieutenant of the Snow Dragon Cavalry, hurriedly hid behind Pang Jianrui.

Xu Fengnian pointed at the captain Niu with the scabbard, and said in a bad mood: "Okay, I'll give you two thousand rides, and then I will also lend you my Fengziying camp, how about? If you are not satisfied, I will take Yuan The commander will also lend you."

Niu Qianzhu smiled embarrassingly: "Forget it, Commander Yuan will only steal my limelight. Two thousand horses and the prince's Fengziying camp are enough, enough."

Did not hide past the first day of the first day but not the fifteenth, Xiao Xiaowei kicked Yuan Zuozong who was standing not far away.

Pang Jianrui, a short and sturdy school lieutenant, asked: "My lord, the Qingzhou Cavalry had already lost all losses in Zhao Xun's aid to the Huainan King Zhao Ying. Now the 8,000-strong Infantry Committee is not worth mentioning. The final general is willing to lead Qianqi as a pioneer to pave the way for the army."

Niu Qianzhu hurriedly said: "Lao Pang, the prince has promised to lend me all of your 1,000 people!"

Pang Jianrui turned his head and stared fiercely, making Niu Qianzhu shrink his neck in fright. Niu Qianzhu's body looks like two Pang Jianrui, but in the Snow Dragon Cavalry, it is the same.

(To the end of this chapter, please turn the page) The lieutenant in charge of Qianqi, Niu Qianzhu has always been in front of Pang Jianrui, just like a little daughter-in-law meeting a wicked mother-in-law.

At this moment, Yuan Zuozong suddenly said: "I am a pioneer, five hundred rides are enough."

Pang Jianrui scratched his head, giving him ten courage and dare not compete with the leader. Moreover, as long as the old people of the Snow Dragon Cavalry are aware of the ten-year offensive and defensive battle in Xiangfan City, Qingzhou, Yuan Zuozong, as the commander of the second generation of cavalry after Xu Jiajun relay Wu Qi and Xu Pu, was under the Xiangfan City. The cavalry under his command had to be used as pawns. The ants were attached to attack the city. In the last ten, they did not save three. This was the feat of Chu Lushan's Qianqi Kaishu. It was not that the Xu family cavalry did not want to deploy more cavalry, but There is really no ride available, no matter whether it is a **** or a war horse.

Xu Fengnian nodded, then raised his Liangdao on the two battlefields of Guangling Road where the two armies were deadlocked, and pointed them one after another, "After crossing the soldiers and horses under Xu Gong’s command, the Xichu cavalry we are going to meet The army general broke out here, located 30 miles south of Guazizhou. The Wu general in charge of this battlefield was called Zhou Ran. The total force reached 20,000. It should not be underestimated. Zhou Ran is well-versed and good at positional warfare. There has never been a precedent for greed and advance, there are two thousand cavalry under his command. By then, our main force will be about 20 miles northwest of Guazizhou. Here, in the Xiangwei River area, a short-term garrison will be carried out. Zhou Ran will definitely dispatch. A large number of scouts watched the movement of our army, not only that, because of our arrival, Wu Chongxuan will inevitably order the northern Lai County front to be tilted moderately to the south. Although the main commander Yuan Jiade has less than 10,000 troops, the cavalry accounted for almost half, four thousand and five hundred. Yu Qi, this unit used to be the vanguard of the southern Xinjiang army to quell the chaos, and its combat power is obviously not weak. Yuan Zuozong, you lead the main force to push the main force 30 miles east of Guazizhou along the Xiangwei River, and approach Zhou Ran's station, Wang Boyuan, you are here At that time, lead two thousand horses straight between Laixian County and Xiangwei River to cut off the road to the south for reinforcements of Yuanjiade’s main cavalry army, and cooperate with the main force to assume that we are going to swallow Zhou Ran’s 20,000 horses in one go. Song Jinshan, you Leading a thousand horses and the right wing of the Chinese army kept a distance of three or four miles and slowed down. The main responsibility was to keep an eye on Zhou Ran's two thousand horses and to clean up Zhou Ran's various scouts and detectives in the south. Once Fengziying went south to meet the horse team Leaked whereabouts, or there was Wu's soldiers on the front line chasing by the tail of the horse. During the period, if Zhou Ran Liangqi got the news to intercept and kill them south, you must bite them, and be sure to win the Fengziying camp to receive the hundreds. Human space!"

Yuan Zuozong and the two cavalry generals clasped their fists to lead their orders.

Suddenly a crossbowman came to report the military situation, and then Xu Fengnian and the generals were a little bit dumbfounded.

Intercepted the military order passed by Xu Gong's scouts to Qingzhou and ordered him to retreat to Huanglucheng, a large town on the northern border of Jing'an Road, and not to go northward without permission.

Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "If there is no accident, Xishu will be the same. It seems that Xu Gong is not willing to give us the opportunity to bravish."

Xu Fengnian didn't think he was done because he intercepted a secret letter. This kind of military order that is not afraid of leaking secrets will naturally not only send a single ride to pass it.

But Xu Fengnian quickly sneered: “It’s hard to say from the Xishu side. Maybe they will retreat according to the order. Then there will be a tacit retreat to wait for the opportunity, but the dignified King Jingan should be more effective than what a servant said. That Qingzhou soldiers and horses may not necessarily follow Xu Gong’s “unreasonable” dispatch. Zhao Xun’s use of soldiers on the battlefield, regardless of victory or defeat, only shows loyalty. The leader of this soldier and horse is the confidant of the Jing’an Prince’s family. With Zhao Xun’s secret order, it is nothing more than even if the suspicion of greed and trespassing has caused the entire army to be wiped out, it will definitely not leave the impression of greed and fear of death on the court. This young King Jingan deserves to be the most praised by the court and the public. Your virtuous king."

Niu Qianzhu and other generals are a bit at a loss. After all, the situation in the Central Plains is really too lazy to care and ignore for this Beiliang Xiaojun who has been fighting outside the pass for a long time.

Only Yuan Zuozong nodded and sneered: "It is very likely that the Qingzhou Army will insist on going north. From now on, Zhao Xun's nickname'Send the Lord to Death' will be worthy of the name."

Song Jinshan, a veteran who has experienced the Battle of Xiangfan City like Yuan Zuozong, sighed and said with emotion: "I heard that the current Qingzhou Navy is very unreasonable, but from last year's Guangling Battlefield Qingzhou Cavalry's fleeting moment, and Regardless of the level of combat power, only the degree of bravery is similar to that of the past. I think that no matter how we hated Qingzhou and that Xiangfan city back then, we still have to give our thumbs to Qingzhou soldiers. Such opponents are worthy of. Admire it. As a result, it’s a shame to have such a prodigal prince, what a shame."

There was a moment of silence in the tent, and Xu Fengnian suddenly joked: "General Song, don't you have any innuendo?"

Song Jinshan suddenly tilted his head and spit on the ground.

This bold act of committing a crime scared Niu Qianzhu, Pang Jianrui and others in fear.

Soon, Song Jinshan smiled brightly and said: "Zhao Xun's bastard~IndoMTL.com~It's not worthy to carry shoes to the prince!"

Xu Fengnian patted the old general on the shoulder again, "It's worthy of being the old man brought out by Xu Xiao. There is nothing wrong with fighting, and flattering is a must!"

Song Jinshan’s old face smiled as an exaggeration, and he didn’t forget to raise his eyebrows at Niu Qianzhu’s younger generation. The old man’s somewhat ill-fated virtue was obviously for the younger cavalry captain. Speaking of learning a little bit, Lao Tzu is the real flattery, you are still too tender!

Xu Yanbing opened the curtain of the camp, and Xu Fengnian nodded at him.

Xu Fengnian let all the generals in the tent disperse, and then stood side by side with Xu Yanbing outside the tent.

Xu Fengnian frowned, with an ominous premonition.

Some guests come from afar.

Coming very fast from a far distance.
