Chapter 425: Soldiers Coming to the City
Yongyan grabbed the reins of the horse, the horse under the crotch let out a long neigh, the front hooves were raised high, and a man and a horse were like a painting under the reflection of the setting sun.
The rain that had been falling for months finally stopped this afternoon, and the sun, which had disappeared for months, reappeared in the sky.
However, the red moon can be clearly seen even during the day, and at most it is not as bright as at night.
Yongyan glanced up at the red moon and let out a soft snort.
"You can only watch from the sky. Yongyan said to himself.
Soon, a large army appeared behind him.
King Jinzuo's army poured out.
This time, they won't be fighting the barbarians for territory again.
This time, Yongyan wants to take this army to fulfill King Jinzuo's long-cherished wish for many years.
Counterattack the Central Plains!
The grassland melee was originally caused by King Jin Zuo, and eventually spread into a melee that swept the entire Great Wilderness, and all forces gathered in the grassland to work hard for a common goal.
However, such a beautiful situation lasted too long, and after the manifestation of the Kingdom of God and the appearance of the Qilin God General one after another, this fragile "alliance" fell apart.
The master held the sword of the world and slashed all the gods and unicorns under the sword, after which the kingdom of God was closed, the demon sect retreated, the barbarians moved north, and the alliance was shattered.
After the master took Zhou Fei Ling Zhaoyan and left the grassland, the temple Datang broke up on the spot, and the two sides fought on the grassland, but they did not do their best as they did against the Demon Sect, and after losing a lot of people and horses on each other, they announced that Mingjin would withdraw their troops, the temple would return to Jialan, and the Tang Dynasty would return to Dawei City.
Then there is the departure of the Master and the appearance of the Red Moon.
Without the master, whether it is the temple or the six countries, they are all ready to move.
And the first to react was King Jin Zuo on the grassland.
This is a very cunning grassland fox, when the coalition forces and the Demon Sect are inseparable, as the initiator of the war, he took the lead in hiding and preserving most of the living forces.
Then, without anyone realizing it, take the lead!
There was a banner in Yongyan's army, and the words on it were written by King Jinzuo himself.
"Fengtiandao, punish the evil Tang!"
Six words, King Jin Zuo finally held it back after seven days.
Anyway, with these six words, they can be regarded as famous.
Of course, in the eyes of the people of the Great Wilderness, these six words are a fart.
I've never heard of King Jinzo believing in the temple, and now it's time to start a war, but it's up to the flag.
That's hypocritical, isn't it?
And since it was the Tang Dynasty, why did it attack the Yan Kingdom first?
The grassland and Datang are not without borders, if you want to crusade against Datang, you can start from these places.
Under the slogan of Vatang, but heading towards the weakest Yan Kingdom, King Jinzuo's motives are really suspicious.
Soon a rumor spread.
That is, King Jin Zuo does not want to destroy Tang at all, he wants to establish a country!
Move the base camp out of the grassland and borrow the shell of the Yan Kingdom to achieve rebirth.
Since the Demon Sect has returned to the south, even if it is temporarily repelled by the temple and the coalition forces, sooner or later it will make a comeback again, rather than snatching those scraps with them on the grassland, it is better to start from the heart in a different place.
What's more, the dream of establishing a country has always existed in King Jinzuo's mind, he is not satisfied with being a grassland king, he wants to be the emperor of a country!
It is an indisputable fact that the Yan State is weak, and their country can only survive in the Central Plains if it is dependent on the Tang Dynasty.
And attachment comes at a price.
In fact, the successive emperors of the Tang Dynasty did not regard Yan as a country, but recognized it as a "county" of the Tang Dynasty!
In the eyes of the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Yan is also a county king.
Therefore, Datang's military control over Yan is very strict.
It's good to be a little brother with peace of mind, what kind of military power to develop, if something happens, the eldest brother will help you deal with it, except for enjoyment, you don't have to worry about other things.
To be honest, any monarch who is a little angry can't stand such treatment!
They are all emperors, why are you so high?
Therefore, in the history of the Yan Kingdom, there have also been several "counteroffensives" against the Tang Dynasty!
However, the military strength is weak, and similar counteroffences were extinguished without even splashing, and after each counteroffensive, Datang's control over Yan will become more and more strict, and it can even be described as perverted.
The common people are a very forgetful group, and after a few decades they will forget the humiliation and suffering of their fathers.
But the royal family can't forget, and the royal blood doesn't dare to forget!
They had been secretly accumulating their strength, waiting for the vicious tiger next to them to take a nap so that they could have a chance to win.
But who would have thought that the strength accumulated by the Yan Kingdom over the years would be killed by the cavalry of King Jinzuo from the grassland before it had time to pour into the Tang Dynasty.
This cavalry may not be the opponent of most national armies, but it is very easy to bully the Yan army.
Under the leadership of Yongyan, the grassland cavalry was like a hungry wolf on the grassland, and rushed all the way to Jicheng, the capital of Yan State, with a devastating attitude.
This is the biggest challenge that Yan Guo has encountered since its establishment.
So they did not hesitate to ask for assistance from their eldest brother Tang Guo.
Under the stimulus of the danger of "destroying the country", any dignity and any pain must be put aside.
However, it will take time for the Tang army to come to Jicheng, and Yan Guo doesn't know if he can hold out until the Tang army arrives.
In the coming days, the people of Jicheng are destined to be sleepless, and the people of the entire Yan Kingdom are also destined to be sleepless.
Because the next battle will determine their future identity.
Whether to continue to survive in the Great Wilderness as a Yan person, or to become a slave of the country, or a grassland barbarian.
At the same time, there are many eyes also focused on Jicheng.
The owners of these eyes also wanted to know whether King Jinzuo's plan to cut down Tang would stop after seizing the territory of Yan Kingdom.
......
"It's here after all. ”
Under the arch of the guards, Prince Yan personally climbed the wall of Jicheng, looked at the dense grassland army outside the wall, and muttered.
The captain of the escort team held the hilt of the sword tightly in his right hand, and his expression was resolute: "Your Highness, the lower officials still think that it is still very dangerous for you to come here, the grassland cavalry is the best at accumulating and shooting, and it is rumored that they also have a night wolf army, which specializes in shooting missions at night." The shooters of the Night Wolf Army all have a pair of night vision eyes, which cannot see clearly during the day, and at night they are like torches. Even if His Highness has disguised, the momentum on His Highness will still be recognized by those people!"
Emperor Yan smiled faintly, turned around and patted the captain of the escort team on the shoulder: "Your words have been written down by this king, thank you for the reminder, let's go back to the palace." ”
The captain of the escort team also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly protected Emperor Yan and walked down the city wall, at this time, a small soldier quickly reported: "Your Highness, the Tang cavalry has come twenty miles outside the east city, and you can enter the city!"
Prince Yan was overjoyed: "Come at the right time, hurry, follow me to Dongcheng, and at the same time pass the order down, and cover the Tang army to enter the city at any cost." As long as they come in, my Yan Kingdom will be saved!"
"Whoa!"
The herald turned on his horse and galloped away again.
Emperor Yan sat on the chariot and immediately rushed to the gate of Dongcheng.
After some anxious waiting, the Tang cavalry finally entered the city smoothly.
Guo Zhenying personally led the team.
Behind him is the neat and solemn Tang cavalry!
Compared with the rabble of King Jin Zuo, the Tang cavalry is enough to kill the opponent in seconds, both in terms of equipment and spirit.
Since its establishment, the Datang Iron Cavalry has rarely been defeated.
The team that can stand up to the Datang Iron Cavalry, looking at the entire Great Wilderness, there are not a few teams.
The steppe cavalry is definitely not included in this.
Emperor Yan excitedly shook Guo Zhenying's hand: "General Guo, I'm so happy that you can come, this king replaces Your Majesty, instead of the people of Yan Kingdom, thank you to the Tang Dynasty and General Guo for your help!"
Guo Zhenying held Prince Yan up, didn't let him really bend over, and said: "The Tang Dynasty Yan Kingdom has been friends for generations, and the two countries have already formed a deep friendship. The country of Yan is in trouble, and Datang will naturally not sit idly by. The previous envoy had already told me about the situation, and Ben would like to know that Jicheng has been besieged for a few days?"
"Counting today, it's five days. Yan Huangzi's tone was a little desperate, "The people in the city are panicking, and all kinds of supplies are also rapidly decreasing. If I am surrounded like this for half a month, I don't need the grassland cavalry to do anything, and my Yan Kingdom will die by itself. ”
"It seems that you can't hold on hard, you have to take the initiative. Guo Zhenying said: "In the team I led this time, there are more light cavalry, which is not suitable for frontal charge. We have to bother the Yan army to break out of a gap first, so that our army can give full play to its advantages, as long as it can beat Yongyan back even 500 meters, it is a rare victory, and it will also greatly alleviate the current predicament of Jicheng. Your Royal Highness, what do you think?"
Emperor Yan was stunned and said, "Didn't General Guo bring the Xuanjia Army?"
Guo Zhenying said: "The Xuanjia Army is stationed in Chang'an at the moment, and for some reason, they can't leave. ”
"What about the heavy cavalry?" Prince Yan continued.
"The number of heavy cavalry is small, and it can only be used as a surprise army, not for frontal charges. Guo Zhenying said lightly.
Prince Yan also knew that he had asked a little too much, and his face was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, I will order it to go down, and launch a counterattack early tomorrow morning, with our cavalry charging into battle, and the Tang army and the rear responding, and only when the time is ripe, we will give the grassland army a fatal blow." ”
Guo Zhenying nodded: "Your Highness is wise." ”
"General Guo, everything will be entrusted to you. Emperor Yan clasped his fists and saluted, and then walked in the direction of the imperial city under the protection of the escorts.
Guo Zhenying gently clamped the horse's belly and led Tang Jun to another rest area.
And Yongyan, who became it, also knew the news that the Tang army had entered Jicheng.
When he heard the news, Yongyan showed a rare smile.
"The Tang cavalry will taste defeat again. The arrogant Tang people will eventually taste the greatest suffering in the world - the destruction of the country and the family!"
