Woo woo woo woo woo ——
The short sound of the horns sounded, echoing on both sides of the Sheyanshui River for a long time. A group of crows flew up from the mountains and forests, and passed through the sunset that fell west in chaos.
After the noisy birds cried, everything returned to silence.
The mountain wind that flew from the north like a blade crossing the wilderness of Hetao, tearing the sound of the horn apart.
In the majestic Gobi Desert and mountains, there are the howlings of wolves hunting.
A team of cavalrymen ran in line, stirring up the rolling smoke and dust. The sound of horse hooves was mixed with the clanging of swords and swords. In the mist sprayed by many war horses, countless faces that had experienced wind and frost were hidden. Behind the cavalry were neat infantry, with heavy steps and the sound of armor with the same rhythm, like the thunder gradually advancing from distant mountains, rolling on the boundless Gobi Desert in front of the mountains. No one spoke in the long team, the cold light of long spears surged, and one or two broken cracks flashed in the horizontal swords.
The raging wind swept the dust under the team's feet, and the steaming heat rushed out of the sharp armor.
The breathtaking military power made the strong wind have to calm down and stop in front of the team, just holding its breath and gently brushing the team's battle flag.
The black battle flag flutters in the wind, and the red flag flag is particularly eye-catching. The big red character "Qin" is on the surface.
The north wind is flying, and a stern and slaughtering thing.
The snare drums are beating and the horns are ringing!
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is here! Come in line to welcome!"
The gate of the military camp opened with a bang...
The last ray of sunset in the sky is now falling dullly behind the continuous Gobi in the northwest. The slightly black clouds are outlined with golden edges, reflecting the continuous tents between the Gobi and the mountains.
The wind in the evening of the Gobi Desert is cold, and thousands of flags are rolling and flying in the cold wind, scattering the smoke rising from the camp. Around the warm bonfire, there are groups of soldiers with untied armor sitting around. Their faithful war horses snorted, digging their hooves in annoyance, and chewing the grass in their mouths in a hurry.
This is Shuofang on the Gobi Desert in the Hetao area. After the snowflakes called Shuofang are flying, they are always like powder and sand.
Shuo is the north. Shuo also refers to the cold air in the north, which is very cold in the north. It can also be called Shuofang. When Emperor Wu of Han was stationed in the city here, he took the meaning of "the city of Shuofang" in the Book of Songs and named it Shuofang County.
This was once the foundation for the Liang army to rise up, and it was once annexed by Liu Wuzhou. Now, the strong army stationed here is the Qin army. The Qin army led by the Western Qin Crown Prince Xue Rengao, one by one, from Longshang to Hetao, finally attacking here.
The Crown Prince of Qin and the deputy marshal of the Eastern Expedition of Qin, Xue Rengao, narrowed his eyes slightly and was standing on the lookout platform of the camp, watching the somewhat restless military camp. Since the end of November, Xue Rengao took 10,000 light cavalry from Wulan City. He seized Lingwu, went to Wuyuan, broke Yulin, and finally fought to Shuofang, Yanchuan, and Honghua. He calculated that it had been more than half a month since the expedition. However, he had almost circled along Hetao, and the Qin army, who had fought thousands of miles, was not only not dragged, but became stronger and stronger. When he went on the expedition, he only led 10,000 light cavalry out, but now, there were 40,000 troops here, and in Yanchuan, Honghua County, he also sent 10,000 troops.
A series of victories have made his subordinates forget the defeat in Jitou Mountain before. The soldiers are very morale and are all inspired by a series of victories. They hope to take down Diaoyin County in one go, intercept the Chen army's retreat, and then destroy the Chen army in one fell swoop. Gao Qin returned with a gala.
"Have all the battalions arrived?" Xue Rengao asked.
"Your Highness, the 5,000 new Iron Eagle Swordsman Camp formed by the battalions, which were drawn from the elite troops, has just arrived. In addition, the 10,000 Flying Cavalry Camp and 10,000 Flying Cavalry Camp, which were reorganized by the surrendered troops of the Later Zhou Dynasty, 9,000 people from the Third Battalion, and the two battalions of Longyou, have arrived. Another 10,000 new chiefs who have just been recruited by the Second Battalion have also arrived. By sunset, except for the baggage team, the total number of soldiers of the tenth battalion, 34,000 soldiers of the tenth battalion have already been taken. "The answer was Deputy General Xue Huailiang, "There are already reports of the whistle cavalry, and they are in Reedjing Town, more than 60 Reedjing Town west of the Sheyanshui River, and will arrive before noon tomorrow."
The baggage team not only carries a large number of food and consumable weapons, but more importantly, heavy weapons that are essential for siege such as crossbows, catapults, and siege vehicles. From Shuofang to Diaoyin, you must cross the ancient Great Wall. The first pass is Runing City among the mountains.
Runing City is surrounded by mountains in the north and Sheyanshui in the north. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Chen army has three thousand defenders here, and there are no powerful siege equipment. If you want to capture it, you have to fill it up and spend time.
"General Chang Zhongju of Yulin had just sent a messenger, saying that he had already sent people to cross the Yellow River to Dali City, Dingxiang, Hedong to meet Ye Hu. He told His Highness that he wanted to join forces with him to deal with Chen Pojun, and even said that our Qin was about to attack Chen and hoped that they could help. However, General Chang returned, Ye Hu only saw the sent envoy and accepted the heavy gifts. After only letting his military advisors seek to assassinate and meet him, and then never show up. Regarding the matter of borrowing troops, there was no clear reply. Your Highness, the Turks have formed an alliance with Xu Jun, and General Chang also said that our envoys met Yuwen and Shen Luoyan in Italy. Your Highness, now the Yuwen family is mixed with the Turks, and it is better for us to send troops directly to Yan'an and then follow the Luoshui to Chang'an..."
"Why are you panic when you are happy to kill?" Xue Rengao said coldly.
"Send a letter to Chang Zhongxing and ask him to prepare another batch of generous gifts for the fortune. Since Tongye Hu is willing to accept our gifts, we will give him more. Just 500 pieces of silk, 20 silk embroidered satin, 1,000 pounds of gold, and 100 beauties."
Xue Huailiang couldn't help but take a long breath: "Such a heavy gift has been military for a long time..."
"I can't bear to leave the child and can't trap the wolf. Today he swallowed it. We will find a way to make him spit it out again in the future. The Turks are now mixed with the Yuwen family. If we want to seize Guanlong, we can't avoid them. Now we give the Turks a heavy gift, and we don't ask them to really send troops to support us, but we ask him to turn a blind eye and no longer interfere in our fight with Yuwen family. Guanlong is ultimately a battle between our Xue family and Yuwen family." Xue Rengao said lightly.
Looking south for a long time, Xue Rengao sighed softly, and the south of the distance was Chang'an. Last time, the Xue family army had attacked a hundred miles below Chang'an City, but unfortunately, the final result was a loss.
Frowning, Xue Rengao patted the guardrail with some annoyance, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Send a message to Chang Zhongxing and King Jin, telling them to stick to Wuyuan and Yulin and be careful to prevent the Turks. The Hetao area is the richest place in Guanlong. Now my Qin needs to be restored and restored. The Hetao land must not be lost." Gritting his teeth, he said, "Send another team of people to Chang'an, and tell Yu Wenji that as long as Yu Wenji does not attack us, we are willing to surrender to the emperor and be demoted to the king. Qin has since become a vassal of Xu and expressed that we are willing to send troops to help Xu Jun cut off the Chen army's retreat and attack the Chen army together. In addition, remember to bring more gifts and send all the gold, silver and jade artifacts copied from Liu Wuzhou's palace to Chang'an."
After the last battle with Yuwen Chengzhi, Xue Rengao's temper has improved a lot. More, he has now begun to think about it comprehensively and uses his brain more. This time, the annexation of Liu Wuzhou made Xue Rengao see clearly that sometimes, force is not the most important, and proper showing of weakness can have better results.
If they had not shown weakness to the Chen army before the war and pretended to surrender, how could they have destroyed the Later Zhou Dynasty so easily? Now, facing the situation of Guanlongxu, Chen and Qin, he couldn't help but want to repeat the same trick again.
Although there was a long time between Qin and Xu, Xue Rengao believed that his plan was not a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy. Even if Yu Wenhua knew his plans, he would not have a better choice in this melee of the Three Kingdoms. If he did not accept Qin Xu's attack on Chen, then he would have to consider being attacked by Qin Chen.
When the last ray of golden light fell on the horizon, the heaven and earth were darkened.
At this moment, a cavalry rushed over and entered the camp.
"Report, Your Highness, the scouts in Runing City, monitored the front and found that a team of Chen's cavalry left the city in the evening and was heading west." The scout reported panting.
"How many people?"
"About 200 riders, it seems that they are escorting some important figures, and more than 100 riders are elite!"
Xue Rengao pinched his chin covered with steel needles, thought for a while, and then shouted: "Immediately adjust the five hundred iron eagle swordsmen and tell them that this is the time to test them. Come and prepare a horse for the lonely man!"
After a while, Xue Rengao, who was fully armed, had already jumped into the horse and swung his halberd, leading the 500 reorganized Iron Eagle Swordsman Camp to fly out of the camp and head straight to the south.
On the mountain road under the ancient Great Wall, there was already bloody at this time. With the sound of the peeling torches of Bibi and the swaying flames, there were blood that had not yet solidified, and broken limbs and arms all over the ground.
The undead loser was lying on the ground and groaned. A small group of Qin army swordsmen with blood-stained robes were holding big swords in their hands, and were harvesting their heads from one Chen army soldier after another, regardless of their lives.
"Your Highness, I found a letter!" Xue Huaiyi, the captain of the Swordsman's Camp, stepped forward with great strides, capturing a man in a general who had fainted with a fainting hand, and holding a letter that had been stained with blood in the other hand.
Xue Rengao hurriedly opened it and read it in a hurry. The next moment, he laughed loudly: "God helps me, it's really God helps me!"...)
