The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade Chapter 59: Feng Houhu

(Because it is more than 5,000 words, it’s a bit late.)

A news after the summer of the first year of Xiangfu shocked the government and the opposition.

General Anguo Yang Shenxing faced an enemy with less than 10,000 people. Forty thousand Ji Nan Ruizhao was defeated and then defeated. First, he broke nearly half of the cavalry, retreated to the Qingyang Basin, received the enemy on his stomach and back, and the cavalry was completely full. Annihilated. After this battle, Yang Shenxing, who was unprotected at night, became a mouse crossing the street. In Tai'an City, except for Lu Baijie’s Ministry of War, the other five ministries and two supervisors all launched waves of impeachment against the old general. And it is justified, saying that he disregarded the command of the main commander, Lu Shengxiang, and went south without authorization. After going south, he was full of exposure to this person's "old man". Not only did he have no soldiers, but he also fainted, facing the remnants of Western Chu. , Reduced to the point of being vulnerable! Where is the prestige of the invincible Liyang?

Yang Shenxing didn't care about the turmoil above the temple. The old general and his more than 40,000 Ji Nan steppers, who were still intact, turned out to be an old turtle in the urn. Even he himself found it ridiculous.

The white-haired general, no matter how he concealed it, showed an old-fashioned look. The eldest son Yang Huchen survived the riding battle ten years ago, but lost an arm. The grandson Yang Wenqi was also badly injured in the battle six days ago, and is still lying on the sick bed with a smell of fishy medicine. Yang Shenxing had never fought such an aggrieved battle. Huchen’s three thousand light cavalry failed to win that thousand cavalry. This is nothing. Victory is a matter of military affairs. It was Yang Shenxing who took it lightly and violated the military taboo. In fact, the old man There are not too many bitter complaints. However, after the development of the situation, the Anguo general almost killed people. The three thousand wealthy soldiers who had not suffered too much casualties in the first cavalry battle, after seeing the power of the heavy cavalry charge, asked to leave the army immediately. Passing through the Qingyang Basin and withdrawing to the north of Qinshuijindu, it’s okay. Yang Shenxing didn’t refuse, but suggested to follow the army of pawns to retreat slowly, in case the other side's not small Qingqi attacked. The Shang agreed well, and in a blink of an eye, he took his guards and fled from the north overnight. After learning the news, Yang Shenxing had to set off camp and move north, and let his grandson Yang Wenqi dispatch almost all the cavalry to **** him. Yang Shenxing could only hope for Xichu. The chief general of the Eastern Front Campaign was unable to seize the opportunity of separation from his side and even let the front army make a camouflage sign to culminate the arrogant army town. But in the early morning of the next day, the blood-stained grandson only brought it back. Hundreds of Jinan cavalry forces, the grandfather soldier of more than 3,000 culprits was safe and sound, Yang Wenqi, who had a large piece of meat cut off his shoulders, could not cry, saying that the enemy Qingqi was very good at night battles and divided his troops, not only attacked Ji Nan, who was preparing to rush. The cavalry also deliberately expelled those three thousand cavalry that were not worthy of being tasteless to the south, to disrupt the formation. Yang Wenqi's cavalry could only use three hundred as a battalion, and sent them to death in batches before escorting them. There are more than 2,800 people who deserve to die but can't die.

After his grandson fainted, Yang Shenxing asked several of the defeated cavalry Dutong in detail. The old general became more and more frightened. According to them, the enemy's horses were not only better than night raids, but also exquisite archery. Even the northern mangman’s outer hunting is imitated in a decent way, neither close nor far away, always staying at the distance of two arrows, charging with one arrow, and then withdrawing after shooting a rain of arrows. Repeatedly, this requires Extremely skilled equestrianism and archery make the foundation. Such a lack of cohesive swimming tactics are not invulnerable. If grandson Yang Wenqi left those three thousand horses alone, he would not need to pay such a huge **** price. After that, there was no more movement in the clamor, but a small group of cavalry wandering far outside the encirclement, leisurely, shooting and killing the scouts who were trying to pass the military sentiment by the Ji Nan Army, but as long as Yang Shenxing showed up As a sign of the movement of the army, the cavalry could be quickly mobilized on the opposite side. They gathered in the Qingyang Basin on the back, and there were a thousand cavalry waiting in the distance, making a charge of riding and riding.

At that moment, Yang Shenxing finally knew that the opposing general did not even think about competing with their Ji Nan stepping pawn, but expected him Yang Shenxing and the special identity of the three thousand riders, first of all to induce The Yang family cavalry attacked, first hurt morale, and at the very beginning, they gave me heavy medicine to scare the courage of those dudes with heavy cavalry, guessing that these rascals could not escape regardless of the overall situation, and their forced **** by the Jinan Cavalry. , Then cut the meat with a blunt knife, and eat the cavalry bit by bit. It can be said that Yang Shenxing really admired the combat power displayed by the enemy, but the veteran general who has experienced many battles is not afraid of him, but he loses because Yang Shenxing had to take two risks in succession. To save their lives, the result was that the Ji Nan Army's few cavalry troops of more than 5,000, it can be described as dead!

Suffering from an unsuccessful defeat for many years, Old Pawn Ji Nan was after all the **** brought out by Yang Shenxing. He did not cry and grab the ground. Instead, he was silent in a place with dense rivers and abundant water resources. Three trenches were formed, and after the trenches there was a berm more than two feet high. A large number of tough tree branches are harvested as far as possible between the wide trenches that are as high as two people, and the bottoms are nailed to the bottom after being sharpened. The soil is compacted. Strong arrow towers rose from the ground, and camp tents were erected. The Jinan Army’s rations and grasses were quite abundant, and did not rely heavily on the supply line behind them. Moreover, the Cavalry of the Liyang Dynasty, especially in the late spring and autumn, With the support of the unobstructed post road, the first-class pawns, armed with weapons and armors, can carry a weight for a hundred miles for half a day, and the lightly outfitted advance of pure light cavalry can reach the startling speed. , Claimed to travel three hundred miles a day, even surpassed Chu Lushan’s Qianqi Kaishu, but after all, the latter took the Shu Road. As for the postal rides that can be replaced all the way, they are not included in this list.

No matter how the post in Liyang has been reduced and abolished under the cries of the civilian officials desperately crying for poverty these years, the post in the southern border of Gyeonggi is still accessible. This is where Yang Shenxing's confidence lies. Waiting for the reinforcements is just before that. He would never be besieged to death, and he didn't even need to jump over the wall in a hurry.

But Yang Shenxing is still exhausted, more awkward than fighting on the battlefield. In order to appease those wealthy children in the capital who hid and cried for their fathers and mothers, the old generals who had already lost a battle and suffered a great loss, did not even dare to speak seriously. talk. Because the old man knew why Lu Shengxiang, the minister of the Ministry of War, had a fragile military power. It was those civil servants in the capital who secretly obstructed the army's slick wrists. The army can not only be dealt with by a general or even a war department. If only a household department is interested, Procrastination can find more than a dozen sufficient excuses to slow the march schedule, and it can also prevent anyone from finding a reason to refute. The fathers of a thousand children from the capital family joined hands to weave a muddy mess in the Liyang Temple, leaving Lu Shengxiang unable to quickly control the entire army. However, after learning about the battle in the Qingyang Basin, he knew that his children and grandchildren were trapped, but they could stay overnight. It helped the six departments to run extremely smoothly.

The reason why Yang Shenxing took the cavalry that was defeated by the golden jade was precisely because the old general knew better than anyone the needles in the Mianli in the Liyang Temple. It's just that Yang Shenxing didn't expect the enemy leader to be so vicious and vicious.

Unexpectedly by Yang Shenxing's expectations, even though countless people in the Tai'an City court were reprimanding him for Yang Shenxing's actual duty, Lu Baijie, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, who said nothing during this period, suddenly seemed like a promise. Those who thought that Yang Shenxing’s 40,000 and Yan Zhenchun’s total of 70,000 horses were already a big fuss, and the officials who were quite savage, changed their faces overnight, and they all told the cunning of the remnants of Xi Chu. Ready to fight the imperial army on the front line north of the clamor, need to send another meritorious veteran to the battlefield, Lu Shengxiang? As the head coach of the dispatching generals, but allowing Yang Shenxing to be besieged, he was extremely oversight and not guilty. It was just because it was not appropriate to change the coach!

Lu Baijie’s proposal was submerged in the turbulent debate. Lu Shengxiang needed to commit crimes and meritorious service. Except for the name of a coach, in fact, there are not many troops to perform meritorious deeds. The real leader is still a steady soldier. Veteran Wu Jun, this time mobilized 30,000 elite soldiers in the Gyeonggi Wing Army.

Furthermore, under a secret order from the Ministry of War, Yan Zhenchun drove straight down from the Dongyu Plain, and finally stopped in the Sancang area, then turned to the east, making a commanding force to suppress Wu Jun’s 30,000 army. At that time, whether the cavalry led by Yan Zhenchun is offensive or defensive, still depends on the military order!

Outside Youlu Pass, Lu Shengxiang was still blind to the movement of soldiers and horses on Guangling Road in the south, but the criticism from the capital in the north continued to spread into the big account, and there was a bleak weather that was precarious. The few Captain Duweis in Youluguan who had been diligent and diligent every day have disappeared in the past few days.

Lu Shengxiang sat on the grass outside the camp, beside Guo Dongfeng, who was still feeding the horse recently, the latter said angrily: "This Tangxi Sword Fairy can't eat shit, and he has become a magisterial book of the Ministry of War. Talking like this is worse than farting?!"

Lu Shengxiang said calmly: "Lu Baijie is considered conscientious, and he knows to help me with a few words of justice, suggesting that I lead the soldiers to the south."

Guo Dongfeng sneered and said: "Have a conscience? Then why didn't he mention Yang Shenxing's old idiot to say good things? The six thousand horses accumulated over more than ten years of hard work, because the bunch of dudes, less than ten days It was buried in vain, and in the end it was less than half a good word."

Lu Shengxiang smiled indifferently: "Lu Baijie is not stupid, and the yelling guy in the temple is also not really stupid. There are many things that I know in my stomach that it is one thing, but it is another thing to say it. Lu Baijie only needs to Still thinking of a stable position, I have to work hard and tear down the east wall to make up the west wall. If Gu Jiantang is in the Ministry of War, this would not be the case. Of course, General Gu is in Tai'an City at this time, and I am not as early as Lu Shengxiang. That day."

Guo Dongfeng snorted coldly, "The master of West Chu also has a brain drain, and regards the front line of the army town as a battlefield to compete for military strength and national strength. I really think that eating Yang Shenxing's 40,000 Jinan pawns will be all right?"

Lu Shengxiang glanced at Guo Dongfeng, "The civil servants in the court are stupid, so are you stupid too?"

Guo Dongfeng froze for a moment, with a look of horror: "Xi Chu really planned to eat Yan Zhenchun's 30,000 horses from the beginning? Can it be eaten? Yan Zhenchun is not Yang Shenxing, so he is not afraid of choking to death? Is it Cao Changqing? Going out in person?"

Looking into the distance, Lu Shengxiang said with a sneer: "You kid stared at me with wide eyes. I have a foreboding that Xi Chu will show up some young people who will become your mortal enemies in the future." /

Guo Dongfeng said with a smile: "This feeling is good."

————

Thirty miles to the north of the bulk warehouse, Yan Zhenchun's 30,000 cavalry, who deliberately slowed down to the south, reported military information. Five miles away, there was an enemy army, all light cavalry, no less than 20,000 cavalry!

The vast plains, the broad battlefields.

The autumn wind howls, and the flags hunt.

The old general Yan, who has always been unsmiling, raised his head and glanced at the bright red word Yan on the banner, and then looked back at the Yan Jiaerlang who was not timid.

The old man said solemnly: "Draw the flag!"

The old General Yan Zhenchun, who was supposed to be in the back, is going to take the lead? Several confidant generals immediately came forward to stop him. Yan Zhenchun grabbed the long spear "Lu Ye" that had accompanied him for many years and shook his head and said: "I won, it is probably the last battle in my life. I can't stand here and watch. I lose. It’s the last battle, how can you die on the way to escape."

As soon as Yan Zhenchun said this, the generals were speechless.

The army presses forward, and the banner moves forward.

The same is true for the enemy's 20,000 Qingqi.

Yan Zhenchun led thirty thousand soldiers against the wind, and the Western Chu cavalry was twenty thousand, downwind.

There is no dominant **** under the horses of the two sides, and there is no phalanx of steppers.

The area here is vast, you can spread a front line of sufficient width, and you can also put into the cavalry in batches. Therefore, it can be said that the commanding talents of the cavalry chiefs of the opposing sides can be satisfactorily displayed, and the cavalry's combat power is more likely Get the perfect expression.

This is an excellent battlefield where those who are weak will lose and whoever retreat will die.

There is no fluke.

Almost at the same time, the two horns suddenly whimpered as if echoing each other, majestic and sad.

In exactly the same way, after the first horizontal cavalry of the two sides launched a charge, the second row immediately launched a fierce charge after rushing more than half of the horse's distance.

The physique and step spacing of each row of horses are almost the same, so that it will not affect the charging speed of each rear cavalry at all.

The length of the horizontal striker of both sides is the same, but Yan Zhenchun's cavalry has a larger depth because of the relatively dominant number.

Shuqi appeared abruptly on the far side of the charge of the two armies. There were only a few rides. It had nothing to do with the overall situation. The men and horses had never been armored. Among them was the young man who followed Pei Sui's son Pei Sui to the top of Luohuqiu Mountain, Xie Xi frontier.

It is also this unfamiliar son of the Han Clan of the Western Chu. He had the courage to point the country in front of big figures like Cao Changqing and Sun Xiji. Cao Changqing laughed and referred to him as "Xie Banju". The big plan, concisely, boils down to two things: "being beaten" and "beating people."

In fact, the entire Northern Route was decided by Xie Xifeng in one word.

From the seizure of the army town at the last moment, to the subsequent enticement and night attack, to the siege without attack, in order to attract the Liyang court to take the initiative to attract the Yan Zhenchun cavalry to the warehouse until this moment. I watched from a distance.

It all comes from this man's strategy.

A middle-aged brawny man sitting on horseback with a head taller than Xie Xifeng asked in a deep voice: "General Xie, don't you really need to use the three thousand heavy cavalry behind you right away? Really? There is no need to pass on orders to put them on their horses? Yan Zhenchun's 30,000 cavalrymen are not soft persimmons!"

Xie Xikui pursed his lips, shook his head and said: "It doesn't make sense to move the heavy ride too fast or too slow."

Xie Xiwei let out a sigh of breath, and slowly said: "Moreover, two light riders who die are still earning compared to one heavy rider who die. It can even be said that three thousand heavy riders will win unless it is one out. If you know that investing in heavy cavalry can’t change your decline, then those 20,000 light cavalry can be used to disperse the spirit of Yan Zhenchun’s cavalry, even if this battle is over. Otherwise, I would rather light cavalry without one left, but also carry heavy cavalry. Retreat for the next riding battle!"

The brawny man glanced at this young commander in Liyang, who was certainly not well-known in Liyang Chaoye, and smiled.

This person was born in the land of Longxing, the founding emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty. There used to be a reputation of "Ten Miles and Four Princes". After the Great Chu Taizu proclaimed himself emperor, more than one hundred and sixty people were appointed to the title. , As many as forty-six people!

There is a custom that every household sews cloth for newborns to make "Fenghouhu", which is pinned to the good expectation of the old saying "Although the young tiger has not formed a pattern, it has the spirit of eating cattle."

However, this young man named Xie Xifeng is definitely not the descendants of those outstanding warlords.

But it doesn't matter, because he is the only disciple of Cao Changqing.

Xie Xiwei has been watching the situation with cold eyes, half an hour, an hour later, the brawny man and several men around him were sweating.

Xie Xiwei lifted his butt, craned his neck and glanced, his lips moved slightly, and he muttered to himself.

Still waiting.

Several men who had participated in the Spring and Autumn Wars began to look anxious.

On the battlefield, five thousand horses died in battle, and Yan Zhenchun also died more than six thousand.

On a battlefield where no one has left the battlefield and no one is defeated, compared with the total number, such a huge number of deaths, and still fighting hard, is simply appalling. Because there are cavalry involved in confrontational battles, the real casualties are often when one party is defeated and evacuated. At that time, the large-scale deaths really suddenly increase.

The sweaty brawny tugged at the neckline, then put a punch on the horseback.

Xie Xikui remained expressionless.

The strong man looked at the sky and said softly: "General Xie, we will lose if we change our lives like this!"

Xie Xiwei hummed softly, still indifferent.

Another man said angrily: "I am going to launch a heavy ride to the front court, I am not as hard-hearted as you, Xie Xiwei!"

Xie Xiwei said oh, calmly said: "Wei Hong, if you dare to go, I dare to kill you."

The man gritted his teeth and said: "Only your three-legged cat kung fu?!"

Not far away, a handsome young man with a four-handed long sword~IndoMTL.com~ hesitated for a moment, and said coldly, "I can kill you, Lu Sichu."

The man shouted: "Lü Sichu, don't think your grandfather is Lu Dantian, I am afraid of you!"

Xie Xikui said calmly: "I said long ago that either Yan Zhenchun was killed in battle, or the spirit of the Yan family's cavalry was more than half the energy, and that's when we went into battle. You don't care about Lu Dantian's great Chudi A swordsman, but since you are a soldier of our army, you have to listen to the military order. If you want to die, I will not stop it, but please die on the battlefield in the future, Wei Hong, under the horseshoes of the Liyang Cavalry."

The hideous man rubbed his face fiercely, tilted his head and spit out, "If this battle is lost, I will kill you even if I violate the order!"

After an extremely long half hour, Xie Xiwei said solemnly: "Liu Cong, Wei Hong, listen to the order!"

Then Wei Hong cursed his mother and turned his head madly, "Listen to your mother's military order! I will kill the enemy and win. If you turn around, you will kill me!"

The strong man who asked Liu Cong to hold his fist and leave.

Xie Xiwei said word by word, "Remember, don't leave a prisoner!"
