Chapter 155: Soaring
Pingjing City is Mu, the Lan family is indescribably happy and busy, so I won't repeat them here, let's first talk about the main reason for this big victory at the border pass. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mu Lingxuan had deliberated carefully and discussed with his generals and henchmen for a long time, and finally decided to scatter the combat effectiveness, and sure enough, it became the decisive point of this year's border defense battle, and it also became the biggest highlight of this battle!
The main reason is that most of the people under Mu Lingxuan's hands are young and courageous, and the three generals who took the initiative to ask for help that day were also bold and capable people.
Among them, the most powerful is Xiao Yang, the deputy general of the middle road, who walked all the way to Zhongyao, he took his brothers to travel quickly overnight, evacuated and warned more than ten villages along the way, helped these panicked people, and pointed to the bright road to the deep mountains for temporary refuge.
Then, Xiao Yang made a feat that most people couldn't imagine, he took the opportunity to evacuate the villagers, and let his sons take the opportunity to encourage and incite, focusing on making meritorious contributions, supplemented by killing the enemy and protecting the family, and absorbed some bloody and well-educated men from the West.
As mentioned earlier, these villages in the border pass are often called the targets of Rong Di, not to mention men, even the mother-in-law of the family, who is in a hurry to use a kitchen knife and cut a few Rong Di dogs who come to plunder.
Therefore, it is a fact that the people in these places are poor, but it is also a fact that the people are fierce, because Mu Detai is very strict with the management of the army, and he also pays great attention to agricultural production, so the conscription in the west is not as frequent as before.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Yang was able to pick up such a big bargain, most of these men who were instigated to join the army were young and brave hairy young men!
Xiao Yang looked at these fresh lives, bringing a vitality to his team that could not be underestimated, and secretly his mouth was about to smile crookedly.
It is necessary to teach with heart, break up all the eggs of these recruits, take one veteran with another, eat, sleep and go to the toilet on the road, all together, seize all the time, and explain the key points required by the march one by one.
By the time he led the team into the Chiyu Grassland, the number of people under his hands had reached more than seven hundred, nearly eight hundred, and those veterans who had not been able to bring them to the apprentices couldn't help but complain, "Why are there only a few of our brothers left?" Look at the apprentices in the people, all of them are lame like uncles, do we also want to taste the taste of having apprentices to serve, general, why don't we go west again? ”
Xiao Yang laughed and scolded back, "Get out of the way, we have big ideas this time, we want to do a big business, we can't let the prince down, it's not easy to want an apprentice, when I come back this time, it is indispensable to replenish the source of soldiers, and let a few of you pick it up first when the time comes!" ”
At the head, you have to be able to get along with your subordinates, you have to let them respect you from the bottom of their hearts, and are willing to follow you from birth to death, at this point, Xiao Yang is undoubtedly one of the best, his family history, will naturally do better than ordinary people.
Xiao Yang's family has been in the army for generations, and he has always been a fierce general under the Marquis of Xuanping, and his eldest uncle, who was once the commander of the Iron Shield Battalion, died on the battlefield with the old Marquis Mu.
Originally, in the Tiesan Battalion, the position of the main general was the same as the title of Marquis of Xuanping, and the father died and the son succeeded, and it has always been the world of the Guo, Chen, and Xiao families.
It's a pity that his eldest cousin died in battle with his eldest uncle, and Xiao Yang's father was a useless scholar, and his cousins were still young, so the Iron Spear Battalion was temporarily replaced by the Mu family.
Mu Detai once said that as long as the Xiao family can produce qualified generals, then the Iron Cavalry Battalion will be handed back to the Xiao family, but his cousins and brothers are not angry, some do not like to learn martial arts, and some have mediocre qualifications, until now, it has been more than 20 years, and the chief general of the Iron Cavalry Battalion is still not surnamed Xiao.
More than 20 years of time, it is very short to say, long and very long, without the pillars, the Xiao family has gradually declined.
When Xiao Yang was sensible, it was when the Xiao family began to be bullied, so he was particularly eager to become strong and regain the glory that belonged to the Xiao family, which was Xiao Yang's lifelong pursuit!
For this, he can completely ignore life and death!
Xu is because the most amazing father and son in their family died at the hands of Rong Di, Xiao Yang's hatred for Rong Di since he was a child is deep-rooted, and as he grows up, he always can't help but think, "Why?" It's the Rongdi people who come to rob us, but we always guard the tall city passes, passively beaten? ”
"Every time they just stop the route of the Rongdi bandits' attack, the people above will shout a great victory! This was followed by the collection of troops, reporting to the imperial court, asking for money and rewards, but he never pursued after victory. ”
"Let's calculate, how many years have the army of our Great Zhou Dynasty not set foot on the Chiyu Grassland for half a step?"
Don't look at Xiao Yang is twenty-three years old this year, he is the father of three children, but his heart is still very brave, and he always thinks that as long as he has the opportunity, he will use practical actions to set an example for the Paoze brothers in the West!
It is not only to show the Xiao family's ability to fight well, but also to tell them that we are not only stopping Rong Di outside the pass, even if it is a victory, we will fight to the Chi Yu grassland, we must find Rong Di's tribe, and do what they did to us according to the script, so that these Rong Di people can also feel the pain of their families being taken captive, property being seized, cattle and sheep being robbed, and important relatives being killed by the enemy!
This wish, Xiao Yang has always been hidden deep in his heart, a hidden is more than ten years, Mu Detai is a powerful commander, when he was young, he had 5,000 elite soldiers, defeated the great achievements of Rong Di's 30,000 strong army, and after the old marquis sacrificed his life for the country, he single-handedly supported the sky in the West, and drove the arrogant Rong Di people back to the grassland again, so he has always been a sun-like existence in the minds of the younger generation in the West.
However, no matter how good the sun is, there is also a twilight time, as Mu Detai grows older, the sharpness of Xuanping Hou has gradually been replaced by the defense of the city, in order to ensure that the gate of the West Land is not lost, the army of the Great Zhou has not stepped into the Chiyu grassland for a long time.
Fortunately, the bloodline of the men of the Mu family is strong, and this strong bloodline is destined to be all the men of this family are all powerful, and Mu Lingxuan's appearance is enough to offset the regret of his father's heroic twilight.
Xiao Yang's eyes are bright, and he sees things very accurately, three years ago, Mu Lingxuan began to expand his strength, Xiao Yang enthusiastically came from the original iron cavalry battalion, if it weren't for the fact that he was too young and had little qualifications, it would be no problem to be a forward army commander steadily.
At that time, Xiao Yang thought, "Although I have left the Iron Cavalry Camp for the time being, one day, I will come back and get back the glory that originally belonged to my Xiao family!" ”
His idea is actually very simple, Mu Lingxuan is the future Xuanping Marquis, serving under him, at least he can be familiar, as long as he waits for the right opportunity to show his own value, Xiao Yang believes that Mu Lingxuan, who knows how to make good use of people, will let him take charge of the Iron Cavalry Battalion again.
Now, the opportunity he has been waiting for for many years has finally come, as the saying goes, thick accumulation and thin hair, Xiao Yang laughed heartily with his subordinates, but he was full of ambition in his heart, "The opportunity is right in front of you, Xiao Yang A Xiao Yang, you must seize it!" We must not disappoint the expectations of the prince! ”
This time, Mu Lingxuan acted as a guard of a level alone for the first time, and he was very bold and threw three new forces, which seemed to be random chess arrangements by him.
But don't underestimate the power of chess, as long as there is a forward team, this time Mu Lingxuan's first battle to defend the pass will definitely become the focus of attention.
Mu Lingxuan has great expectations for these three teams, and every day, he is paying close attention to the news sent back by all parties, to see what kind of surprises his sons can bring to him.
However, Mu Lingxuan really didn't expect that Xiao Yang's courage could be so big, and he dared to take advantage of the Rong Di army to take seven or eight hundred people under his command to rush all the way to the hinterland of the Chi Yu grassland, and even capture one of the five major clans of Rong Di, the princess and prince of the Tuotuo clan.
Coincidentally, this time it was the Tutuo clan and the Tuota clan who united to launch a fierce attack on Xuhu Pass, and their greedy eyes stared at the most fruitful Gutian City after Xuhu Pass.
In order to make a big profit, so that the hungry tribes in the clan can survive the disaster year smoothly, the two tribes also went out this time to concentrate all their resources together, just to let the warriors eat their stomachs, win the battle, and plunder more food, women, and children for the tribe!
In order to eat a piece of fat meat this time, the two clans also fought with the other three clans.
Fortunately, the two clans are generations of in-laws, and the current princess of the Tutuo clan patriarch Hei Dage is the sister of the patriarch of the Tuanta clan, Ba Bulei!
These two clans can be regarded as a strong alliance this time, which is why they have won the first place among the five major clans, and they have won this eye-popping beauty.
Who knows, God is not on their side, the balance of victory, as early as Mu Lingxuan secretly released the three forward teams, it quietly changed the entire battle situation.
Hei Dag and Ba Bulei are not stupid, the two of them have made a full posture and stormed Xuhu Pass, but in fact, the soldiers are divided into two ways in secret, and the elite detours from the left and goes straight to Gutian City in the rear.
How could it be that the two of them were unlucky this time, and they met Mu Lingxuan, who had long expected that the enemy's target was Gutian City in the rear, so they repaired the pass early on the left and right, just waiting to give the enemy a head-on attack!
Hei Dage and Ba Bulei were originally waiting for the soldiers sent out to send back the good news, but they didn't expect to wait for the news that the team was blocked and could not move forward.
The soldiers are divided into two ways, which means that the troops are scattered, and the team of strange soldiers did not have the expected miraculous effect, and the two patriarchs have no choice but to honestly join forces and step up the attack on Xuhu Pass.
Soon, they found that the villages and county towns near Xuhu Pass were also different from previous years, most of the small teams that went out to grab grain and grass returned empty-handed, and the leading centurion and thousand-sized commander all replied the same, "The village is empty, no people, no cattle and sheep, no food, nothing!" ”
At this time, Hedage was in a hurry, the grain and grass he brought was limited, and he was robbed and was cut off by Qi Gen, so he immediately ordered, "The onslaught day and night, the first one to attack the head of the city, the bounty is 100 ingots, and after the 100 slaves break the pass, let him loot it, and there is no need to hand it over." ”
As soon as this order came out, tens of thousands of soldiers outside were like being beaten with chicken blood, which was really several times more fierce than the previous attack.
Fortunately, Mu Lingxuan is a fierce general in attacking the city, but he can defend the city, and he is not a bad seed, you see that he is full of tricks, and he can always intercept the attack of the Rong Di people.
In addition, this time, there is Lin Huaide, a capable county king, who can always replenish arrows for the soldiers fighting in front of him in a timely manner, as well as various animal fats, a steady stream of firewood, stones of different sizes, and in the end, they are even demolished houses, but Lin Huaide guarantees that there is no shortage of resources in the city.
And the wounded who were carried down from the city wall were also cared for several times better than in previous years, and timely treatment greatly reduced the mortality rate, in such a state, the morale of the military and civilians was greatly high, everyone was full of energy, Mu Lingxuan was surprised, and even had the urge to keep Lin Huaide by his side and not let people go back to Beijing.
It stands to reason that in previous years, the Rongdi people will no longer waste time, energy and human lives, and most of them will choose to attack the nearby county town with weak defenses, and just grab some food, and then turn around and go back to the grassland.
But this year's snow disaster made Rong Di's cattle and sheep freeze to death, and they had no way to retreat, so if they didn't capture the city and went back by themselves, they would face the fate of starving to death in winter!
As a result, neither side of the two sides was willing to give in, and they stumbled under this Xuhu Pass.
Fortunately, Xiao Yang is not a greedy person, he knows how precious his time on the battlefield is, especially Mu Lingxuan, who has the grace of knowing him, he can't live up to it no matter what, just like that, Xiao Yang, who has restrained the desire in his heart, took the royal flag of the Tuotuo clan, the gold and silver fur that can be carried to the greatest extent, and the golden nobles in the king's tent, one person and two horses, galloped back to Xuhu Pass day and night.
With the return of this strange army, on the head of Xuhu Pass, there is a row of more than 50 noble Tuotuo royal families, which has completely broken the situation of confrontation between the two warcamps?
Looking at his beautiful young princess, the adorable sister, crying and shouting for his father's son, Hadag was completely distraught......
No matter how strong and fierce Ba Bulei is, as soon as he sees his sister and nephew being captured, with a sharp sword around his neck, this powerful Rongdi warrior also knows what the final outcome of this war is.
I thought that the other party's general would ask him to retreat unconditionally and then use the money to redeem the prisoners of war, but unexpectedly, Mu Lingxuan sent someone to inform him that he wanted to negotiate with the two patriarchs and wanted to join forces with them to do business.
This is good news from the sky!
Everyone in the Chi Yu grassland knows why King Holm can transcend the world and never directly participate in the war against the Great Zhou Dynasty, isn't it that he has business dealings with the nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the money in his hands flows out, where he will let his clan warriors come out to die?
"If only we could do business with the Great Zhou Dynasty......" Hei Dage and Ba Bulei looked at each other, and they both saw irrepressible ecstasy in each other's eyes!
