Chapter 212: Fast and Slow

It was already late in the winter moon, and the sunlight shone on the quiet earth and the temperature was gone. Soon, the quiet dust particles gradually trembled. The next moment, the huge horse's hooves stepped down, and a circle of dust spun up and ran forward.

"drive--"

"See what archery is like for those girls from Shen Ce Army!"

The loud shouts accompanied several knights rushing out of the dense forest, with some leaves hanging, and putting bows on the horse's back, turning around and shooting them back. The moment the string sounded, among the five Shen Ce troops chasing behind, some people fell off the horse and were dragged all the way in the stirrup rope.

"drive!"

The scout of the Shence Army who was chasing behind looked at the shocked comrades, shouted loudly, and put their bows together, and shot them back. The arrows were scattered in the sky, and someone screamed and fell off the horse. The running Longzhou scout turned around and turned around to draw his sword, and fought with the Shence Army scout who was chasing him.

In the chaos of the battle, someone snatched his comrades from the ground and stood on the back of the horse in front of him, slapped the horse and danced his sword and shouted: "Go!"

In the chaos, when the swords and soldiers collided and touched each other, they heard the voices of their companions, pulled the reins and stretched a distance from the enemy, ran quickly and walked around a small circle, gradually withdrawing from the battle group.

The hysterical Shence Army's reconnaissance cavalry immediately continued to catch up, and then met the Longyou scout who came from other directions to reinforce, which immediately turned into a situation of running away.

Scout wars like this were already launched on this field when Longyou soldiers advanced to Chang'an for more than 200 miles, cutting off the news and intercepting the opponent. A small-scale fight broke out every day.

Just to ensure that the army behind was well-informed, we chose the most favorable route to move forward smoothly. Looking down from the mountains, the huge west of Chang'an, countless forests and villages, the army like torrents were divided into several strands and moved forward quickly. The wheelbarrows were loading with food and fodder, and the wheelbarrows were crushed over the rugged road under the escort. The knights whispered and urged to march with the orders of the upward peak.

Tens of thousands of people were marching in the silent army. Even if the footsteps were only sounding, it was buzzing and noisy. The pair of eyes looked at the galloping horses coming and going beside them, and they gave the riders one by one. Occasionally, the scouts who came back from afar took off their armor and breathed heavily, handing over the information they were exploring...

It is extremely complicated to have an army like a person's limbs and bones convey various messages through the brain through huge and complex nerves, and to wield tens of thousands of people and even more civilians like arms.

Geng Qing is not very good at this. Fortunately, Li Jiji and Zhao Zhouyi are both long-time generals in the army, so he can't worry about it. However, he can still do the information brought from outside when handling military affairs.

In the marching team, Geng Qing did not take the four-wheeled carriage, but sat on a donkey carriage without a carriage. He looked through the piles of notes in the straw truck, and asked Jiuyu to help me record some of the words he said.

"No matter when and where, news is important... Chang'an responded quickly, and it can be seen that Li Ye is very concerned about the newly-launched Shence Army over the years. By the way, who is the leader?"

Opposite, Jiuyu, who was taking notes, raised her face, "Du Rangneng, Wen Zhaodu."

"In the news, are there any references to the past of the two?"

"I have said some news from the day before yesterday that Li Ye pacified Xichuan, Wen Zhaodu served as the head coach, and led the Shen Ce army into Shu... It seems that he has made no achievements, and after he came back, he was still appointed as an official by Li Ye."

Geng Qing pursed his lips, stared at the newly sent note, and suddenly smiled, "It's him... But to pacify western Sichuan, it's mainly due to the governor named Wang Jian. He led his troops and never moved in Hanzhong... As for Du Rangneng, I remembered that he was also a minister in the court. A few years ago, I was in Chang'an. I heard his name and I was a little capable. I didn't expect to have climbed to the position of prime minister..."

"Look at the Shence Army, the left Dragon and Tiger Army, the right Shenwu Army, the right Tianxing Army, the left Tianxing Army... Li Ye seems to really want to revive the prosperous Tang Dynasty and restore all these organizations. Tsk, 60,000 people, and more than half of the 100,000 Shence Army he has built in the past three years."

After talking for a few jokes, Geng Qing's smile suddenly became cold. He looked through the note at his feet again. Dou Wei, who was traveling outside the donkey cart, saw him in an unusual situation, and hurriedly asked what had happened.

"I almost missed a person."

Seeing Geng Qing holding a note of paper slightly ecstatic, Jiuyu frowned, as if following Geng Qing's thoughts, he was also sorting out the mistakes and adding a sentence.

"Li Shunjie?"

Geng Qing looked at him and nodded: "I remember this person is already a general of the Twelve Guards. Li Ye is not a fool. He shouldn't have allowed two civil officials to lead the troops, but a general stays in Chang'an...unless."

Geng Qing's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I almost let the emperor of Chang'an fool it. The left and right Longxiang Army among the twelve guards is a cavalry system, but it did not appear at this time. It's really a big deal. Dachun, you can send this news to Li Liuhou later and Zhao's envoy. Be sure to remind them to be careful of being restrained by two civil officials and let Li Shunjie attack around the side."

While speaking, he grabbed the pen and ink from Jiuyu's hand, sorted the mistake into a blank piece of paper, and handed it to Dachun to send it to Li Jiji in front.

Not long after, when Dachun came back, Li Jiji also came with him. He stood up and bowed and jumped off the horse, arched his hands and fists.

"Sir, don't be too polite. The command before has been handed over to the Zhao army envoy. He just came here to ask Mr. if there is a good idea to defeat the enemy."

As a long-time general in the army, Geng Qing didn't believe that the other party had no idea, but he came out of respect. He didn't understand military strategies and tactics and was not easy to interfere, so he pointed out the possible sneak attack of the Longxiang Army.

"He is all cavalry and his equipment must be well-equipped. If it takes time to explore the whereabouts of the other party, it is better to use the trick. They will attack Du Rangneng first and Wen Zhaodu will attack Longxiang's army... At this time, the ambush will walk sideways, and then attack him from the back side and left and right!"

Geng Qing hung his palm and fell to kill him. Li Jiji knew the military strategy and understood it at a glance. He naturally understood what Geng Qing said. He immediately did not hesitate, turned around and ran forward, and the words he spoke turned into commands and spread quickly.

"Explore the main force of the Shence Army!"

"Then order each formation to grab the foot of Cheng and tell the Zhao army that he would fight the front line. This time, he would use fast attacks to slow down and disrupt Du and Wen's two sides!"

"The story... Fu Daozhao led his cavalry to detour."

His voice stopped, he looked back at the donkey cart in the vast marching team, and then ran up, the sound continued to echo.

"......... The Longxiang Army targeting Li Shunjie must be stopped. If possible, he will be killed!"

The orders were conveyed quickly as he spoke. The following cavalry and orders followed him and ran away along the way, and then dispersed the other marching teams on the land.

At the end of November, more than a hundred miles west of Chang'an, the sky gradually became cloudy, and raindrops fell sparsely on the heads, causing a cold feeling.

Outside the harvested farmland, among the wide and flat roads, the army with brightly-clad armored troops marched with flags. The villages in the distance were curling smoke, like mountain fog lying on the mountainside. The farmers returning home were carrying hoes and standing on the ridge of the field, looking over from afar, watching the flags with the words "Tang" and "Tianxing" floating in the rain.

The marching team was divided into two groups, and the roads in the fields and forests were connected to each other. The scouts kept searching in front.

That afternoon, in the cold and peaceful state, the farmers watching vaguely heard a different sound, like a bird cry that had never heard before, and the hoe pressed on their shoulders turned back. Next to the village not far away, someone and horse came out of the forest, thinking it was the scout of the army in front of them, and they didn't think much about it, but after a moment, one horse, two horses, four horses, and hundreds of horses... kept rushing out, stepping into the fields, and the road outside the village gathered hundreds of horses to rush towards this side.

On the road, the marching Tianxingjun shouted vigilantly. Those who reacted and those who did not react were all confused at this moment.

“Ahhh…….”

The farmer opened his mouth wide, and had only time to scream twice, and hugged his head and lay on the ground. The next moment, the huge war horse jumped over from above him. The knight immediately pulled out the blade from his waist and hit the long dragon on the road ahead. Among the large fields, hundreds of cavalry burst into a barbaric cry, and rushed forward like a torrent of killing him directly, according to the comrades in front of him.

The swords and weapons collided with each other, and the blood of the horses were paved in an instant.

Cut the "long dragon" into two pieces.
