第371章 奕战如棋

The scene of galloping horses is rare on the Qilu Plain. The dry and dusty weather has further boosted its power. From a distance, the roar of thunder and flags are waving, and the scene of horses and dragons is even more depressing.

It is said that soldiers rely on horses, and their combat effectiveness depends largely on war horses. If it weren’t for the deep moats in Texas, the walls of Texas were high, which offset the advantage of the horse thieves, most of the troops twice as many as those in Texas were infantry and could not be confronted with. As soon as the two armies confronted each other, they would have been cut into half of them like chopping melons and vegetables.

The imperial court's military horses were mostly used to supply the continuous defense lines and the capital camps on the nine sides. The large number of troops in these two places had consumed too much food, salary and supplies from the imperial court. The mainland garrison could not afford enough military horses. The world did not need to arrange a large number of cavalry in the mainland garrison at ordinary times, so it has always been a relatively luxurious equipment in the garrison. Even in a military center like the Dezhou garrison, the cavalry had only more than 2,000 people.

The sound of trumpets warning at the top of the city was short and urgent. The low drum sound like light thunder suddenly sounded. Teams of officers and soldiers began to climb up to the top of the city. Rolling wood and rocks, lime and turbulent oil, pushing, moving, carrying, and carrying, quickly moving towards the marching ports. The cannon coats on the cannon were also pulled down, and the black and shiny gun barrels were aimed at the bottom of the city.

The artillery here is still the traditional Thunderbolt artillery, with a much worse firing rate than the new artillery used by the Jiangnan Navy, but it is more powerful. If the two artillery is used in the city defense battle, it will complement each other and show more power.

Unfortunately, the imperial court successively used troops and grand ceremony, coupled with the northern exchanges, trade in Jiangnan, building ships and army, building Liaodong ranches, purchasing foals, and resettling immigrants, and the finances were extremely tight. Now new firearms can only be built on a small scale and tried. They cannot popularize the entire army.

"Boom!" The cannon roared, and the ground was trembling. The flowering shells exploded in the enemy formation that was rolled over like dark clouds. Suddenly, people and horses were overturned. The war horses without artillery training at the explosion were neighing, and the formation became chaotic.

However, facing the cavalry brigade that was like a tide on the Great Plain, this powerful shot was very powerful. It was just a wave rolled up on the top of the tide, and the traces were easily wiped out. The panicked war horses did not escape in a scattered manner due to the correct direction of the entire brigade. In addition, the knight's superb horse control level quickly adapted to the attack rhythm of the entire army.

There is a moat under the city, and the military fortresses' trenches were dug deep and wide, so they were not afraid of the sound horse thieves attacking the city with just one round of charge. The soldiers were preparing melee city defense and ground weapons under the command of generals at all levels. The gunners and crossbowmen used the walls of arrows as a cover to fire the soul-catching arrows of death at the sound horse thieves that were coming from the sky and the earth.

The terrain here is open, with a canal on the left, a city of Dezhou directly opposite, and the other two sides are terrain composed of wasteland, woods, post roads, etc. It is easy to move forward, backward, and flee. The terrain is open and easy for siegemen to mercenaries to mercenaries, and naturally it is easy for defenders to shoot at the top of the city, and there is almost no need to aim. The eight cannons continue to roar, constantly reaping lives, and the desperad also howled and got closer.

There are 32 cannons in Dezhou City, and eight cannons are arranged at each of the city gates. Try to fire flowering bullets, which have amazing lethality. However, the cannon loading takes time and effort, and the fast horses are running wildly beyond lightning. In an instant, they attacked to the nearest place. Once they attacked, there were more dead corners on the walls. The range of cannons that can deterrence was limited. At this time, the main thing was that the crossbows played their role.

The dust was covered with the sky and the sun. The sound horses and thieves were masked with red scarves and began to ride and wander. They kept firing arrows at the top of the city to suppress the firepower at the top of the city and cover the subsequent troops.

Cycling and shooting. It was originally the specialty of the Tartars outside the pass, but the key was their superb riding skills. Otherwise, it would not be impossible to shoot, but an arrow was shot out, and they could not know where they flew. Or they were shaking and twisting on the horse, and they were unable to hurt people.

Among the elite horse thieves, many people have such superb riding and archery skills. Because horse owners raise horses at home, many horse thieves have been climbing up and down on horseback since childhood. It is naturally not difficult for some of them to have superb horse thieves. Such elite riders seem to be about 1,500 to 2,000 people.

They rode and roamed, constantly firing arrows, which was comparable to the defenders on the city. At this time, the artillery really became cannons to kill mosquitoes, and it was completely useless for these scattered horse thieves who were scattered.

The big banner of "Liu" stopped at the ruins in the distance, and some figures appeared on the embankment. Liu Liu was obviously stationed there to command the entire army to fight. There was a swamp of reed duckweed under the embankment, which was more than two miles away from the canal, and it was about the same distance as here. You can see the overall situation and command and dispatch were safe and convenient.

Yang Ling was lying on the arrow pile and saw this, and was pulled back by a man. The man grabbed it too tightly, which made his arm hurt. Yang Ling turned his head and saw Luo Shiquan yelling with sweat on his face: "My God, why are you still here? Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry and leave the dangerous place."

It turned out that as soon as the sound of the horse arrived, Luo Shiquan was in desperation and immediately threw away the two personal soldiers, ran up to the city tower and commanded them himself. After he finished dispatching and issued a series of combat orders, he remembered that he had forgotten a big man. He turned his head and saw that the sharp arrows of the sound of the horse thief shot up the head of the city, and the arrows were running around in the sky. Duke Wei was holding the arrows in his hand and was watching the enemy formation. This was a big frightening thing and immediately ran over again.

Although Luo Shiquan's injury was not damaged, his skin and flesh were suffering. He rushed to the city tower and commanded the wound. He ran over again now, and he was afraid of pain, so he was sweating all over.

Yang Ling smiled relaxedly and said, "Why should General Luo be worried? The southern barbarians and northern barbarians, the eastern Japanese barbarians and western barbarians, and the country's Duke have all seen it. The formation of horse thieves may not be better than theirs. Why are you afraid?"

As he was talking, a wolf-toothed arrow rushed over and shot from the trunk mouth. Wu Hanchao's shoulders moved slightly, and with a "crack", the arrow was knocked away. Half of the Qiushui in Wu Hanchao's hand was slowly entering the sheath. The speed of the sword was so fast that it was hard to reach. Luo Shiquan jumped, but Yang Ling looked calm and did not blink his eyelids.

Luo Shiquan was not as comfortable as Yang Ling. Yang Ling was the imperial envoy, governor and governor of Shandong Diguo. He was responsible for the entire defense zone to suppress bandits. He formulated a strategy for suppressing bandits and dispatched various troops. It is true that he is in Dezhou now, but he is not a city-guarding general responsible for the defense of Dezhou. If he is injured at the top of the city, he will not be able to escape the blame for poor protection.

This place is close to the capital, and is well-informed. The emperor now loves and trusts this Duke of Weiguo. He has heard a lot of rumors. There is no other person who can make the emperor climb on the wall in women's costumes except the one in front of him.

Seeing that Commander Luo was really anxious, Yang Ling saw that the soldiers on the top of the city were busy and busy. Although he was constantly urging by the officials, he was even more nervous and his movements were a little stiff and unfamiliar. It seemed that it was not only lack of exercise but also that he was here. It also made them even more nervous. He smiled and said, "Okay, General Luo is in peace of mind. Your country's Duke will go to the cover of the city tower to watch the battle."

Luo Shiquan was overjoyed and hurriedly called a few personal soldiers and accompanied Yang Ling to the city tower. The horse thief did not have sharp long-range siege weapons, so it should be much safer to stay in the city tower.

Song Xiaoai was a little surprised to see Yang Ling so obedient. In fact, Yang Ling also wanted to stand here to make a concrete and intuitive observation of the fighting methods of the horse thieves. But in that case, Luo Shiquan would definitely be unintentional to command and focus all his attention. Luo Shiquan is the commander of the entire army, and Yang Ling did not want to overtake the matter and personally command the offensive and defensive battle in Dezhou, so he would not cause trouble for Commander Luo.

Besides, the defenders inside the city are twice as good as those outside the city. Although the enemy has the advantage of horses, they are not very useful in the tough battle, while the defenders have the advantage of geographical advantages and weapons. They are completely adopting the defensive posture. If they need to come forward in person, then Luo Shiquan is just an A Dou who cannot be helped and cannot be used at all.

In Yangling's next military operation, Luo Shiquan was a very important piece and needed him to stand alone. Yang Ling was determined to rectify the Dezhou garrison, emphasized military orders and laws, and established Luo Shiquan's absolute authority in front of the Dezhou garrison. It is precisely for this reason. Now that the army has just been deeply touched, he will perfectly command a blocking battle, which will further establish his position. Yang Ling will not retreat behind the scenes, and will inevitably steal his limelight.

Seeing Yang Ling retreating to the city tower, Luo Shiquan was energetic and immediately shouted: "Press up the crossbow, try to kill and injure them as much as possible, and keep their positions in place, and do not panic." As he said that, he pulled out his knife, avoided the squatters of the disc wall, and focused on observing the movements of the sound horses.

When fighting in the army, bows and crossbows are the first. The bows are fast, but they are difficult to master. Crossbows are launched with mechanical stakes, and they are familiar with each other. Their power is far away, but they are difficult to load and have slow launches. They are especially not suitable for horse fighting, but they are more convenient to defend the city.

The configuration ratio of the Dezhou City crossbow and bow is 64 minutes. At this time, the crossbow arrows are fired at the same time, and the two stone bows can penetrate the armor into the body within 200 steps. The range of the powerful crossbow is even longer. Only the bow strings are noisy and cut, and the bows and crossbows are fired at the same time. Countless triangular and triangular branches are whistling and shooting out.

"Ah!" A flying horse was shot in by a feather arrow and fell from the mount. The other one didn't even say a sound, and a powerful crossbow shot straight into his forehead, making him tilted his whole body backwards and hung it on the horse.

Hundreds of sharp arrows and wolf teeth broke through the air, like a sudden rain, and instantly shot more than 200 people killed and injured. The war horses that had lost the control of the soldiers ran around, and the charge formation suddenly collapsed, no longer as strict as before. The offensive of the cavalry of the horses was frustrated and began to wander left and right, and at the same time, the arrows were fired to counter-suppress. Although the defenders at the top of the city had shields, many people were still injured by arrows.

The first step of both sides in offense and defense is to suppress the enemy at a long range, and try to shoot and kill the opponent. Seeing the appearance of the Xiangmath, they obviously still have something to rely on. Of course, they would not want to attack the city without any support. The Xiangmath raised the shield, wooden shield, iron shield and homemade vine shield, which were varied. Although they could not resist the powerful crossbow, they could resist bows and arrows.

In the city tower, Wu Hanchao and Song Xiaoai stood behind Yang Ling one by one, one by one. Yang Ling was wearing a blue shirt and sat on a chair with her legs crossed her legs and looked at the window. She looked leisurely, and gently tapped the slap on her knees, clearing her throat and singing: "I am watching the mountain view on the city tower, and I hear the chaos outside the city gate. The flags are waving and the scene is in full swing, but it turns out that it is the soldiers sent by Liu Liu."

Song Xiaoai burst into laughter and pursed her lips and said, "What song is singing by sir? It's so leisurely."

Yang Ling laughed and said, "I lacked a big goose feather fan, otherwise it would be both color, fragrance and taste."

"Uh? Color, fragrance?" Song Xiaoai was surprised.

The officers and soldiers stood nervously around and saw that the prince was chatting and laughing calmly, and did not care about the more than ten thousand cavalry under the city. They couldn't help but secretly admired them, and their originally slightly nervous mood calmed down.

Liu Liu's army was obviously approaching Dezhou City before suddenly rushing towards him, because there were now some people pushing horses and pulling cars, including RVs and wooden frames. It should be some siege equipment. Yang Ling smiled relievedly and said, "So that's it. I'll say, no matter how stupid Liu Liu is, he will never use people to pile up. Thirty thousand people can't fill the trenches in Dezhou City."

Women are emotional animals, and Song Xiaoai is blindly worshipping Yang Ling. There are about 10,000 people under the city. She believes that the Duke must have a way to restrain him, but if there are one million people under the city, when she sees Yang Ling so leisurely, she will still think that Yang Ling must have a way. She is careless, and is better than Xiaoai.

Wu Hanchao was a little nervous. He watched the city slowly dispersing, luring the firepower at the top of the city, and at the same time, he fired arrows to cover the siege equipment in the rear. He said, "Duke, Liu Liu stopped attacking for a few days. Although he was unable to understand our reality, he must also be preparing to attack the city. Since he dared to come, he would be sure to be sure. Should he suggest General Luo draw some of his troops from the other three cities?"

Some generals and soldiers from the local defenders in the city tower immediately held their breath and listened to Yang Ling's words. Yang Ling shook his head and smiled and said, "Sure? What can he be sure of? He has to come. Otherwise, he would have to give up the plan to establish himself in Shandong and the capital, hunt in the south of the Yangtze River, and stay away from the capital. Although he had plunged into the prosperous world, it was even more difficult to gain a foothold there."

He paused and said, "Liu Liu will definitely not be able to take over the city of Dezhou. Those who fail to defend the city are nothing more than the enemy is strong and we are weak; the city is large and the people are small; the food is small and the baggage is accumulated outside; the soldiers are not ordered. In addition, the water outside is high and the city is low. The earth veins are sparse and the pond is shallow, and the guarding equipment is not enough, and the salary is not provided. Even if there is a high city, you must abandon it.

Dezhou City has strong troops and strong horses, deep trenches and thick walls, and 60,000 troops are enough to maintain the city. Moreover, there is abundant food and grass, clear waterways, severe punishments and rewards, and clear laws. Without a tenfold enemy, it is impossible to attack at all!"

It seemed to be confirming Yang Ling's words. The sharp arrows like a sudden rain and the roaring cannons completely suppressed Liu Liu's army, who had just pounced on him. There were not many horse thieves in front of him who dared to challenge him, but the subsequent carts had gradually pushed over.

The officers and soldiers knew every move of the horse thief on the city and could respond quickly, but there were no mountains nearby. Because the officers and soldiers were cannons and the horse thief didn't dare to build a lookout tool like nest chariots, they suffered a great loss in understanding the enemy and us. How to deploy defenses, adjust, and how to deploy firepower in the city, they could only estimate the points outside the city when they fought, but they could understand what they did outside the city.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers saw through the action of robbing the horse in one eye. "The crossbow! It's the crossbow, his grandmother's. They actually got the crossbow. Hurry up, blow it off for me!" Luo Shiquan's voice came from afar.

The bed crossbow is a large crossbow installed on a wooden frame. It pierces the human body within 500 meters and can be called the overlord of the crossbow. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Song army shot and killed the Mongolian Khan Mengge with the bed crossbow, which triggered the dispute over the throne between Kublai Khan and Alibuge, which lasted for more than ten years.

The crossbow fires the ground arrows with wood as the pole, the head of the gun as the head, and the tail wing with iron feathers. It is known as "one gun and three sword arrows". In fact, it is a short spear with feathers. It is used to defend the city, and the chariots, cloud ladders, wooden curtains, giant shields, etc., which are all broken when they encounter it; if they attack the city, the city will be uneven, and if it is a Tucheng wooden village, it will be even more devastating.

At that time, this was considered a heavy siege weapon. No wonder Luo commanded the command. The defenders at the top of the city nervously moved the cannons and estimated the target position. Although the bed crossbow was a heavy weapon, it was only a simple flatbed cart for the crossbow used by soldiers. It was easy to move on a simple flatbed cart. It was not easy to aim the heavy artillery at its position.

Isn’t it just a bed crossbow? Who doesn’t have it? You have it and I have it all!

Qiao Sihai, who was in defense of Dezhou City, saw that the cannon could not catch the crossbow cart that was pulled by the sound of horses and thieves, and without waiting for Luo Shiquan's order, he yelled in a Shandong rhyme and asked someone to push the crossbow to the middle of the city, preparing to fight the crossbow.

"Buzz!" A wave of shock waves of rapid friction between the air swept through everyone's ears. The high notes instantly overwhelmed the people's neighing, stimulating the people's ear drums, just like a fighter jet passing by overhead at a very fast speed.

Yang Ling felt that his ears were very itchy. After a while, he heard Qiao Sihai's voice coming from the city: "They are firing 'step arrows', gathering to roll wood and rocks, turbulent and lime, they are going to forcibly attack the city."

When Yang Ling heard the "Step Arrow" he understood. Although he had never seen "Step Arrow" in the Datong border army, he had heard people talk about it in detail. The so-called "Step Arrow" is to use a bed crossbow to nail short spears to the city wall for siege to climb the city, like a mobile ladder. Commander Luo lay on the city wall and looked at it with a look, and saw five short spears straight into the cracks of the wall. Although the spear was short, the tail was still trembling sharply, making a buzzing sound like a bee swarm passing by.

He just took a look and then quickly retracted his head. The soldiers next to him hurriedly covered them with a shield. Sure enough, someone in Liu Liu's army saw the needles inserted. After a few thuds, a row of cold arrows fell on the shield.

Don’t think that a sharp spear like a blue brick wall can’t be shot in. Not to mention that the quality of the brick itself is good, and there are more clay and rammed earth when building.

The former rich man Shen Wansan helped Taizu build Nanjing. The two of them each ordered people to build a section of the city wall. Zhu Yuanzhang went to inspect and ordered his soldiers to smash the city wall with iron hammers. With one hammer, the city wall he was responsible for was broken. Shen Wansan hired a heavy fee to supervise the construction of the underground city wall and personally supervised the construction of three hammers without breaking it. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and killed the culprit and ordered the reconstruction. This is how the capital city is seen elsewhere.

Of course, this kind of breaking is aimed at the brick surface. It will not cause the city wall to collapse. First of all, the brick is a very huge piece of land. In addition, the city wall is very thick and more than ten feet wide. It cannot be knocked down by just piled there with ten cows, not to mention that there are also a lot of rammed earth, which is even stronger.

But the wall is really hard, and the row of short spears penetrated half a foot deep. It was as solid as a rock. It only took a certain slope to shoot towards the city wall in a row. It was like setting up a staircase on the city wall and climbing. The horse thief stood sideways under the wall and ran up.

Luo Shiquan held the hat and helmet and sneered: "Thinking about it! How can I allow you thieves to succeed? Come on, tie the mud together, throw the spears and smash them!"

There are wooden bells, mud bells and brick bells piled up in the city wall, among which the brick bells are the heaviest and suitable for breaking. More than a dozen bricks made of brick burning technique were quickly tied into bundles. The soldiers rushed up and shouted trumpets to lift the heavy tiles onto the city wall, and then rolled down. In this way, even if the spears cannot be completely broken or fall off at once, it would be almost done once.

Seeing this, the horses outside the city immediately launched a concentrated fire here. The officers and soldiers who could not dodge were immediately shot down. The officers and soldiers on the front of the city immediately returned to their faces. In order to create conditions for siege and destroy the conditions for siege, countless lives were taken away by arrow rain at a very cheap price.

Yang Ling sat at the top of the city and was not watching the scenery. The calmness was just for the local defenders. Even though he was talking and laughing, his eyes were nervously observing the advancing and retreating and offensive and defensive characteristics of the sound horses outside the city, and paying more attention to observing Luo Shiquan.

It depends on how he commands, dispatches, coordinates, and observes his judgment, ability to transform and combat, degree of obedience, morale and quality of coordinated combat.

He was watching the battle, not only watching the enemy, but also watching. He had just arrived in Texas and had not yet known his own opponent. The battlefield was the most difficult time to hide his own strengths and weaknesses, so it was also the best way for him to understand everything he wanted to know as soon as possible. So far, he was very satisfied with Luo Shiquan.

Luo Shiquan is not the fierce and evil spirit like Jing Foer. He shocked the enemy's heart and encouraged the soldiers to play with him as soon as he went on a battle, nor was he a veteran like General He Shen who was suitable for attacking and defending and had rich experience in combat formations. He was more like a commander in the modern sense. He arranged the scheduling and arrangements, was very meticulous, and considered many details attentively.

Famous generals also have their own strengths. Some are good at attacking, some are good at defending, some are good at defending, and some are good at fighting strangely. Luo Shiquan is obviously good at defending, and Yang Ling is very satisfied with this. With this person guarding Dezhou, as long as the entire army is consistent, he can easily dispatch and command as an arm, then Dezhou Chongzhou can be safe. Now, he can finally start a comprehensive plan for the suppression of bandits in Shandong.

If a plan fails, Liu Liu's men began to change the method of siege. He asked someone to put on the crossbow strings on the bed, and put dozens of arrows at a time. When they were fired, they were like a storm. The strong arrows left the strings and rushed over. The lethality was amazing, and they were similar to the hundreds of tigers running together in the official army.

With the huge lethality of the crossbow and the continuous firing of arrows by the riders, more than a dozen swaying siege ladders were moved to the left wall. The siege ladders were rarely used in scattered manner, so it was easy to be defeated by defenders. Once used, at least more than ten siege ladders were concentrated in one place, attacking and defending, and constantly firing arrows at each other. It was completely filled with human lives. Although the siege side had to pay a lot of casualties, this was the fastest way to siege the city.

With the dispatch of Commander Luo, General Qiao Shen rushed towards the direction of the cloud ladder siege. At the same time, there were more than ten trenches on the side of Xiangmath, and the toad cart drove towards the city wall on the right.

The toad chariot was in front, similar to the siege chariot used by the Tatars when they attacked Jimingyi. It also covered the siege with raw cowskin to cover the rain of arrows, and the thieves hid below. Holding a flying hook in hand, they prepared to climb across the trench and forcefully climb. The city head immediately used muskets and rockets to block, and at the same time, the officers and soldiers gathered here to prepare for battle.

At the main entrance, eight cannons were intimidated, and the sound horse thieves only picked up two sides to attack. There were few frontal challenges until they erected several simple small stone throwers that were operated by two people from afar, throwing a bunch of toxic burning objects onto the top of the city, causing a cloud of smoke to spread on the top of the city. Only then did a car that hit the eaves rush over under the push of the sound horse thieves and rushed over, and someone else carried the trench bridge and ran in front.

"Boom boom~~", the cannons spit out flames again, eight cannons shot two rounds, and several stone throwers in the distance were blown into pieces. A few people who were grabbing the trench bridge under the city were shot to death by arrow rain. The rest of them avoided the trench bridge. The trench bridge was placed on the moat moat. The huge wooden point of the city car aimed at the city gate, and the desperado screamed and rushed to the death.

In their hearts, the only way the officers and soldiers relied on was to the deep ditch of the city. As long as they broke open the city gate, the officers and soldiers would become brave rabbits and let them slaughter. Dezhou is a big city, with land and rich gentry, gold and silver, and beautiful women. And the Marshal Liu said that if you conquer Dezhou, you will have a chance to win the world. Each of them has the opportunity to be a general. Anyway, it is a bad life, so why not take a fight with him?

The loud horse thieves roared, and the giant tree hit the city gate again. The heavy bombardment sounded trembling, and even the head of the city seemed to feel it. A hundred household inserted his waist back and roared: "Hurry up, move the iron and hit the wood, prepare for the swallowtail torch."

There were two iron-to-beating wood on the left and right sides of the city. The iron-to-be-body iron heads were composed of six iron tips, each of which was more than one foot long, just like six big wolf-toothed iron nails. The iron-to-beating wood was thrown down by the officers and soldiers, and it hit the roof of the city car. The sharp and thick iron nails pierced the roof. Then another one hit the first iron-to-beating wood, tearing the wooden holes on the ground, and the wooden cracks became even larger.

Then the swallowtail torch was thrown down, and the turbulent oil was poured down, and the roof of the city was covered with flames. Even the undercarriage also leaked oil and caught fire, and it could no longer be used to cover it. The robbers responsible for hitting the city gate dropped the robbers and ran back desperately. Although the people and horses on the side kept firing arrows and the officers and soldiers on the city were constantly chasing the sharp arrows, they still nailed these robbers who dreamed of being generals to the ground one by one.

Yang Ling stood on the city tower and saw a variety of these types, which looked rather than the regular offensive and defensive equipment in the army, and was almost no less effective than making siege weapons. He couldn't help but feel deeply.

He sighed and said to Wu Hanchao: "I once heard someone say: 'Even if a person who can commit crimes is not a genius, there is definitely no mediocre person. In some aspects, they must be much stronger than ordinary people'. This is true, there are really capable people in the thief of horses."

This was the first time that Song Xiaoai saw so many siege tools, staring at her beautiful big eyes and was very interesting. When she heard Yang Ling's words, she immediately rushed to agree: "Well, what the lord said is that there are many good carpenters among the horse thieves."

"When Zhao Sui came to Shanxi, Xu Tai and Jiang Bin also chased after him. Xu Tai had sent a court order that the local military and political officials in Shanxi were responsible for their respective territories and could only resist the thieves and not lead troops to chase each other across borders, so as not to restrain the thieves and let them take advantage of the situation."

The man in green robe sat opposite Zhang Yin and said slowly. His public identity is Zhang Yin's army's central senator, named Jiang Nanyan. In fact, he is indeed Zhang Yin, and his real identity is the staff officer of the leader of Maitreya Li Fuda, and he is the great master of the Maitreya Sect.

Li Fuda laughed and said, "Don't worry about him. As long as you don't come to Taiyuan, Zhao Crazy will make trouble. Xu Tai has this general order, which is exactly what I want. There is Taihang in the east of Shanxi. There is Luliang in the west and Zhongtiao in the south. Xicheng and mountains are connected to Taihang in the east and Luliang in the west. It can be said that there are all mountains around Jin, with vast mountains and ravines and ravines everywhere. It is difficult to suppress bandits here. Speaking of which, Shandong has more insights."

Li Fuda said enthusiastically: "I didn't expect that Yang Hu was so excited that he created such a big situation in Shandong. Well...... Of course, our people are indispensable to secretly assisting, but the development of his current situation is beyond my expectations. It seems that Liu Jin, Bi Zhen, was too plundering in Shandong, was too unwilling to the people's hearts, and also helped him a lot."

Li Fuda smiled and said, "Boyan Khan is also a wonderful person. The last time the cooperation failed, it caused him to be in a difficult situation. The Tatar tribe was about to fall apart, and I was worried that it would be difficult to cooperate with him again. I didn't expect that this time he would come to help without me taking action.
To be continued...
