The night was low, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

Hearing that the second prince was going to go into battle in person, the guards and staff around him felt that their brains were big.

"Your Royal Highness's body is precious, and the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, if you accidentally hurt you, you can't explain it to the king. ”

The guards around him advised, and the staff on the side also echoed it, but the second prince was a stubborn temperament and felt good about himself.

He said, "Lone followed the martial artist to study hard, and even his father praised Lone as a warrior in Northern Xinjiang, how can Lone be greedy for life and afraid of death?"

When he was not yet an adult, he won his own martial arts master, defeated several sparring guards in a row, killed the enemy bravely on the battlefield, and brought back a lot of loot every time...... He is the partridge of the northern frontier, brave and powerful, and the weak soldiers of the Central Plains who are weak and can't help the wind can still hurt him?

Northern Xinjiang is not peaceful, and there are many voices inside.

If any small tribe develops too quickly or does not obey the orders of the imperial court, it will inevitably invite the imperial army to conquer.

However, this kind of small fight is not a climate, and it is generally used to gild the second generation of northern Xinjiang nobles.

The second prince had led his troops to conquer several times, and each time he won a great victory, which made him so proud that he couldn't even see his own ability.

You said that you are a prince, just stay in the rear and wait for military exploits, why bother to go to the front line to cause chaos and make it more difficult for your teammates?

What kind of ability do you have, and you don't have a B number in your heart?

The staff and guards went into battle repeatedly, not only did they not say anything about the second prince, but even provoked the other party's reprimand and insult.

In the end, he stubbornly said, "Don't persuade anymore, I've made up my mind!"

The more people around him persuaded, the more angry he became, and the more he wanted to prove himself with facts.

Liu Xi and a woman can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, is he not as good as a woman like a brave man in Northern Xinjiang?

"Wait for Gu to personally catch Liu Xi-" The second prince looked around, and snorted lightly on the tip of his nose, as if mocking.

Although he is stubborn and self-serving, the second prince also knows that his life is precious, and he will still obey the arrangements of his staff in some places.

He asked the vanguard to change into the costume of the Han family soldiers and branded Jiang Pengji as a banner.

If you don't run into the enemy, it's best if you run into the enemy's patrol, so as to get by.

The night is dark and the wind is high, which is suitable for robbing the house.

The second prince ordered everyone to hold wooden chopsticks in their mouths, wrap the horse's mouth with a cloth, and not allow them to make a sound.

The 12,000 soldiers and horses divided into several waves and marched towards Chaowu along several trails on the map.

Because he had a detailed map in his hand, the second prince led his troops to avoid several waves of checkpoints, and there was no danger along the way.

Approaching the Chaowu granary, the patrol force became more and more dense, and even if there was darkness in the night, they were still arrested.

"Who?"

The second prince was anxious, and the pioneer officer on the side replied in fluent Central Plains official dialect.

"We were sent by Liuzhou Mu to reinforce the granary! Zhou Mu was worried that the barbarians in northern Xinjiang would attack the granary. ”

This pioneer officer is also a talent, his face is not red or out of breath when he lies, and he even shows a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.

The night was too dark, and there was a distance between them, and the other party couldn't see how many people there were here for the second prince, so he let him go after two interrogations.

The second prince's heart was relieved, and he immediately felt a little contempt, "But that's it-"

Perhaps the luck of the first half of the night had run out, and the second prince encountered several waves of patrols one after another, and they became more and more skillful in coping with them.

Unknowingly, he was delayed for half an hour.

At this moment, it was less than a quarter of an hour's journey from the Chaowu granary.

Compared with the success of the second prince's side, the other two roads do not have such preferential treatment.

They only met three waves of patrols along the way, and they also used lying to fool the past, but they didn't know that the patrols under Jiang Pengji's hands were different from other patrols. Before handing over to each other, you need to match the code, if the code is not right, you will be killed!

Of course, today is different.

The patrol was instructed by the higher authorities that if they met someone who could not match the code today, they did not need to make a noise and cooperate with the other party's performance.

Beijiang thought that their actions were going well, but they did not know that their every move was expected by the enemy.

Lijiang granary——

Li Yun chewed hay in his mouth, held a gun in one hand, and wiped the head of the gun with a strip of cloth in the other, his sharp eyes surging with war intent.

"Wan'er, Nuan Nuan, wait for me to go back!"

Li Yun threw aside the wiped cloth, and the hurried footsteps of his subordinates got closer and closer.

"Captain Li, the enemy has lined up to surround the granary!"

"Just in time!"

Li Yun stood up straight, grabbed the white reins of the war horse with one hand, turned over on the horse neatly, and held a gun in one hand.

"Send troops to meet the enemy!"

At this time, the sound of fighting had already sounded outside the granary, and two thousand cavalry rushed to the Lijiang granary.

"Rush!"

According to past experience, the granary defense line could not withstand their wave of charges, and it would collapse for thousands of miles.

Not to mention that they appeared suddenly, Chongzhou should be unprepared.

Rushing to meet the enemy without any preparation would have made it even more impossible to hold back the iron hooves of their cavalry.

This time it's different—

When the cavalry in rattan armor formed a formation and accelerated the charge, the horse's front hooves suddenly stepped into the air and planted forward with great inertia.

A handful of human heads emerged from the ground, armed with unknown scythe-like weapons, and slashed at the horse's legs, forcing the horse to plant forward in pain. After doing this, he immediately retracted his head into the ground, and repeated the old trick against the second echelon who had no time to react.

At a distance of 200 zhang around the granary of Lijiang, dozens of circular trenches were dug in order to deal with the first wave of cavalry charges in northern Xinjiang.

The distance between these trenches is irregular, and there are even circular waves.

In order to conceal the existence of these trenches, the clearing was covered with turf, and the cover of the night did not show any clues.

Near the middle of the granary, between the trenches and the trenches were also sprinkled with a dense layer of thistles.

Seeing this, the team in Northern Xinjiang also realized that they were in ambush.

The granary of Lijiang is not a piece of fat meat at all, it is clearly a trap with fat meat!

However, the cavalry charge was too fast, and the distance of two hundred zhang was nothing at all.

By the time they realized the ambush and tried to retreat, the first group of cavalry had already rushed to the granary.

"Want to withdraw?" Have you asked the master for the gun?"

In order to facilitate the attack on the enemy, a half-zhang wide path was left on all sides of the granary.

At the same time, a similar scene occurred in the Sang Mo granary.

Jiang Pengji is an idle character, she doesn't like to correct papers, and she is keen to fight in person.

In addition to carrying combat weapons and soldiers and horses, their troops also brought a large number of baggage trucks used to transport grain. The front team lost, the morale fell suddenly, and the rear troops tried to evacuate.

Instead, the baggage carts became an obstacle to their cavalry, blocking them in one place and unable to break through in all directions.

The combat quality of the cavalry in the northern frontier was not bad, although the performance in the rear was very embarrassing, but the remnants of the cavalry began to organize a charge to break through.

"Horse slashing battalion, come forward and form a formation!"

The order was given, and an arrow shot straight into the sky.

The soldiers of the slashing battalion took heavy steps to resist the cavalry charge, the heavy shields formed into fish scales, like thick iron walls, and the soldiers in the back row held sharp spears, and under the cover of their comrades in front, they used their spears to resist the charge, and the crossbowmen scattered in the innermost.
