0623 Horse stepping on Yanyun Mountain
The clouds are deep and I don't know where, only in this mountain......
Zhao Guanren now has such a feeling, the vast prairie is endless, in his eyes everywhere is the same, holding a compass can run away, but he still crossed the Yanyun Mountain on the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, which the Ji army had never reached.
"I don't want to eat meat, I want to eat vegetables......"
The soldiers wailed one by one, they used to look forward to the meat in the pot every day, but now they are full of beef, mutton and horse meat, and they are full of fat when they eat, and they really can't stand it.
But the complaint is just a complaint, their 300,000 army all rode forward, even if the Chinese New Year was only repaired for three days, the morale was still high along the way, but the upper four parts have been silent so far, as if they have forgotten these invaders.
"Lord Wang!"
A dragoon Qianhu also said with a complaint: "On the eighth day of the first month of the first year of Yongji, we have reached the point where the ice and snow have melted, and the spring flowers have bloomed, and the upper four departments will not withdraw from the grassland, and they will all shrink to Mobei, let's go there for more than 20 days!"
"When you come across an enemy who is confident enough, they will rush straight at you and cut off your head......"
Zhao Guanren rode on the horse and said with a smile: "But when you break the enemy's self-confidence and they have to defend themselves, they will use their brains to play tricks, so if you don't want these people to run away if they can't beat them, we have to take the initiative to get into their trap and let them send them up to fight us!"
"Report !!"
A group of scouts suddenly rushed from the front and shouted loudly: "Lord Wang! four elite cavalry units have been found forty miles away, probably more than 100,000 of them, and they are rushing towards us in four directions, and we can meet them head-on in two hours at most!"
"The whole army stops advancing!"
Zhao Guanren raised the command flag and shouted: "The Fenglin army turned around and fought back, the volcano army guarded the middle road, such as the two wings of the Yin army, the Lei Zhen army occupied the commanding heights, and dug fortifications in an hour and a half, and the enemy army will attack us from the south, west, and north!"
"Command!"
The soldiers shouted in unison and dispersed on their own at a very fast speed, there were dragoon officers in the four legions, and the three-month run-in allowed them to cooperate tacitly, although the orders issued by Zhao Guanren were very general, but in terms of tactics, they knew exactly what to do.
"Kereh, Tuoda, Sahe, Xirong, and the four departments came to receive the order......
Zhao Guanren took out a wooden stick full of colored beads, which was engraved with many strange patterns, he held it high in his hand and said loudly: "Today is the day of great joy for you to become the next four parts, and become the first four parts, shout to me in front of your gods, gala hoo!"
"Galahoo!"
The leaders of the four tribes pulled out their steel knives and shouted, and the 60,000 grassland children also roared in unison, Zhao Guanren brainwashed them a lot during this time, one would invite God, one would open the light, and they would become the spokesperson of the gods, and they all wanted to rush out and cut people, or be cut by people.
"Go, the dragoons will lead you in the charge......"
Zhao Guanren waved the magic stick in his hand, and the grassland cavalry immediately swarmed away, and he also rushed up a high soil slope with his horse, and the grassland girls had already set up a wind shelter, opened the horse za, put on the coffee table, burned the stove, boiled milk tea, and waited in all directions.
"After the war, there will be tens of thousands more widows, and you, the widow collector, will have to recruit the harem again......"
A tall grassland girl walked up and ran her fingers at the back of his neck very ambiguously, but Zhao Guanren said without looking back: "Dongrige! I really doubt that you are from the Kereh tribe, your way of thinking is very similar to that of a woman in the palace!"
"We, the Kereh tribe, have been intermarried with the Ye family for more than a hundred years, and the princes' preferred grassland plaything ......"
Dong Rige sat down on the horse next to him and said: "We were toyed with by them like the women of the Qinglou, and we had to pay tribute to horses and livestock afterwards, just because we were the weakest in the lower four, and we were bullied at both ends, and no one treated us as human beings!
"That's right!" Zhao Guanren took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and said: "You are the tools of the upper four departments to paralyze the court, so that they mistakenly think that the upper four departments are very deferential, and if they don't make you miserable, how can the court be negligent!"
"We'd rather be your dog than their slaves......"
Dong Rige skillfully helped him light the cigarette, leaned on him and said: "The upper four departments are not herdsmen, they are real troops, and the cavalry has undergone strict training in Mobei, if you want to fight to Mobei in one go, I'm afraid it's not so easy!"
"Fools just went to Mobei, this king stepped on Yanyun Holy Mountain, just to let them feel my determination, so they ran out to play with me, instead of hiding in Tibet......"
Zhao Guanren exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "Before meeting this king, the nomads are all good at fighting, after meeting this king, I will make them able to sing and dance, and you are the most noble grassland queen, what do you want to do at that time?"
"Do what our whole clan wants to do......"
Dongrige said in a vicious voice: "I will pee on the heads of Qinna's mother and daughter, and make them the most despicable slaves, and I will also cut off the head of King Bokan with my own hands, so that that old thing will have evil retribution!"
"Hahaha......"
Zhao Guanren raised his head and laughed, at this time, hundreds of thousands of troops had been fully spread out, and they couldn't see the end with binoculars, but they were very organized into many phalanxes, a large number of sappers were digging pits and setting up barriers, and there were people planting small red flags everywhere.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The war drums rang like thunder, and a huge cavalry force was seen from a distance, slowly crushing over like a wave, and the Jiguo infantry also set up more than a dozen phalanxes, all standing behind the trench and setting up arrows and shields.
"Camels, there won't be Arabs...... right?"
Zhao Guanren opened the telescope in surprise, and two camel cavalry actually appeared in front of him, but Dong Rige looked at it with the telescope and said: "Hebronians! The barbarians from the depths of the desert seem to have taken out all the skills to press the bottom of the box!"
"The equipment is good, no wonder you dare to take the initiative to attack......"
Zhao Guanren found that he underestimated these steppe people, the heavy cavalry of the upper four divisions turned out to be heavy scale armor, and all the horses they rode were sturdy foreign horses, and their cavalry except for the dragoons, I am afraid that they would not be able to take any advantage against others.
"We have to beware of that prostitute ...... Qinna"
Dong Rige said solemnly: "Seeing that there are at least 150,000 cavalry on the opposite side of the banner, Qin Na will definitely lead people to bypass Yanyun Holy Mountain and attack our rear, and the troops in her hands should not be less than 50,000, and may exceed 80,000!"
"Pass the order!"
Zhao Guanren put away the binoculars and said loudly: "Spread your hand and beat me hard, after this battle, we will take the girls of the grassland, as well as their dowry, and go back to Gusu happily, and we will not go to Mobei!"
"Yes!"
The herald excitedly clenched his fists to receive the order, and after the news was transmitted, the morale of the soldiers suddenly skyrocketed, and the overwhelming cheers were deafening, and even the grassland people who were a few kilometers away could hear it, and there was a commotion among the people and horses.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The four huge cavalry finally launched an attack, and the fight began without any nonsense, but the steppe people chose a very favorable terrain, and the Jiangbei army stood under the great plain, and the impact of the cavalry diving down would be even greater.
"Divine Arm Bow!" Prepare ......
The archers of the infantry battalion raised their crossbows one after another, the two sides had been fighting for hundreds of years, and the rule had always been that the crossbowmen threw first, and the light cavalry tried their luck with cowhide shields, rushed to the front and shot arrows to disrupt the formation, and then continued to harass on both sides.
"Whoosh ......"
The infantry battalion suddenly fired ten thousand arrows, and the grassland light cavalry was stunned, and the range of the divine arm bow was more than 300 paces, far from being comparable to their horse bows, but the arrows were released before they entered the range, couldn't it be a group of novice vegetables?
The steppe people suddenly found that the arrows nailed to the ground were all tied to a string of smoking things, and when they suddenly rushed over, they suddenly exploded in ping-pong, and they realized that it was a large firecracker, which was not powerful but could frighten the horses.
"Kizujin ......"
The horses were blown up in a panic, and the firecrackers were filled with fine steel sand, which exploded from under the horse's belly coldly, and the well-trained war horses would be scared half to death, not to mention that the cavalry was taken aback, and the grassland did not have the habit of setting off firecrackers.
"Hum~"
Tens of thousands of crossbow arrows shot straight at the steppe cavalry like flying locusts, the divine arm bows were all foot crossbows, the archers were divided into three rounds of continuous fire, almost not giving the other party any respite, from time to time there was a bunch of firecrackers to make trouble, only wearing cloth armor light cavalry could not resist at all.
"Woo Woo ......"
A string of red and green signal bombs shot into the sky, and the Jiangbei Army had already learned to read the signal, and there was no need to listen to the drum or look at the order flag, and they understood as soon as they looked at the signal flare, the opponent's heavy cavalry had gone out to fight, and they had come to charge the battle.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Tens of thousands of cavalry poured down like a torrent, heavy and light cavalry alternately covering, and when they were spread out, they were so large that they could not see the edge, and the Chinese sergeants did not know what was happening on either side, but they were very sure that the enemy did not even enter the trap they had dug.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Lei Zhenjun's artillery finally fired, except for the simple mortars brought by the dragoons, the unconscionable cannons were all made by the craftsmen of Jiguo temporarily, although the power was not as good as that made in Shunguo, but the power of a thousand cannons was also very terrifying.
"Bang ......"
The range of the improvised mortar is as high as 1,000 meters, and the precious artillery shells of the mountain army have never been willing to use them, and today they bombarded indiscriminately in one breath, and the heavy cavalry who were suddenly bombed turned on their backs, and their morale was shattered like glass, and they had not been bombarded for more than 100 years.
"Boom Boom ......"
The earth suddenly collapsed one by one, like a trap dug by the Yin army, although the trench was only a meter deep, but after a horse planted in it, it would immediately cause a chain reaction, and the conscienceless cannon with a range of 300 paces was mending the knife, almost causing them to fall in pieces.
"The four heavy horses really live up to their reputation, so they can rush over......"
Zhao Guanren sat on the high soil slope holding a telescope, still holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, and Dong Rige shouted urgently: "A signal flare has been launched from the rear, and someone has already rushed over, I really didn't guess wrong, at least 60,000 cavalry are outflanking us!"
"What's the hurry! This battle can't be fought today......
Zhao Guanren swallowed the melon seeds and said: "You should understand by now, why did I cross Yanyun Mountain, the upper four departments united with the remnants of the Jin Dynasty to establish a Rouran Kingdom, which has become the climate, if you don't stab them now, both Jishun and Jishun will suffer!"
"General! 500 miles expedited ......"
Several post guards suddenly rode up the dirt slope, and one of the post guards fell off his horse weakly, panting: "The first emperor died, and the crown prince ascended the throne as emperor a year ago!"
"It's amazing that you can find this place......"
Zhao Guanren helped him up in surprise and asked, "But you make it clear, which emperor has died again, and many emperors have died recently?"
"I'm Emperor Yongji, ......"
The other party handed over a holy decree and said bitterly: "Your Majesty heard that Zhao Sihai poisoned tens of thousands of people, he was ashamed and embarrassed, and hanged himself in the palace, and the crown prince Ye Guanhai ascended the throne and announced to the world, ordering all the generals to jointly crusade against the puppet emperor Zhao Sihai, including you!"
"Ye Zimei is dead, and ...... suicide"
Zhao Guanren took the holy decree in disbelief, and suddenly asked: "Has the year name been changed, is this the first year of Yongji?"
"No! It's the first year of the apocalypse......
"it!"
