The scenery outside the fortress was particularly charming, but this quiet place was broken by the sound of horses' hooves, and the sheep fled a few paces in all directions, and were driven back by the shepherds.

The horses also threw their hooves, which seemed to remind the herdsmen that their somewhat comfortable and poor life was over.

"Sigh the law ......"

In the neighing sound of the horses, dozens of horses suddenly rushed out of the yellow ocean, accompanied by billowing smoke and dust, it was the Khitan wolf rider, but it was also the most elite palace tent army, dressed in dark iron armor, with a wolf face covering his face.

The heat of the desert also seemed to be affected by these cold armor soldiers, and the temperature dropped instantly, but these soldiers also nervously came up to resist the Rong riders, who were nervous to resist, looked at them with a little contempt, threw down the edict, and quickly left.

Don't give these people who are still panicked any chance to ask and refute, and when the patriarch in the camp appears, only an earth dragon swept away from the desert.

The wrinkled old man of the Rong tribe picked up the edict that he had dropped, unfolded it bitterly, looked at the content of the edict, and the color of unwillingness and anger appeared on his face, but in the end he shook his head helplessly.

His branch is only a small and medium-sized tribe of the Rong people, with more than 10,000 people, and there are only more than 1,000 people who control the strings.

After the Khitan unified the northern land, their tribes were suppressed in all kinds, although they were both nomadic people, but after the Khitan saw the country, they became more and more sinicized, and most of the villagers under their rule were Han people, and almost all the places with abundant water and grass on the grassland were occupied by the Khitan people, and more than 100,000 Rong people had to survive on the edge of this desert.

Originally, the Khitan went south to plunder, and they were very willing to act as pawns, but their part was different from other tribes, fortunately, the relationship between Fanyang Mansion and them had not been discovered by the Khitan, and if they were discovered, they would also be plundered and even slaughtered.

The old Rong man looked at the edict in his hand extremely heavy, this is an edict to summon the tribes to ride south, and it is also delivered by the palace tent army in person, which means that it cannot be disobeyed, which means that the organizer of this attack is the Khitan royal family.

The same edict was issued in more than one place, some tribes were very happy, and some tribes were equally melancholy, but they all had to prepare for battle, and the strength of the Khitan wolf ride was deeply reflected in their hearts.

……

When Yelu Ruan was still assembling the tribal cavalry, the battle of World War I broke out again in the port of Funing in Pingzhou, but it was ignited again by the Liaodong naval army on the sea.

After a few days of repair, the Liaodong Navy received a strict order from the Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, ordering it to attack again and contain the Bohai rebels in Funing Port, all because the sergeants of the special warfare capital led the sergeants of the Bohai Battalion to fight everywhere in Pingzhou, looting armaments, harassing wolf riders, and bringing too much fluctuation to the Khitan, which was originally ruled unstable, as the only army that could immediately contain the chaotic army, the Liaodong Navy once again became a ballista target.

Under Gao Xun's order, the Liaodong Navy launched an attack again, and on each ship, most of the sailors were freed up to participate in the port landing operation, almost every sergeant was fully armed, Gao Xun could not disobey, so he had to protect the sergeants under his command as much as possible.

The sergeants on Funing Harbor did not become panicked because of the Liaodong Navy's re-attack, and repelled the Liaodong Navy's attack with the wolf cavalry more than ten days ago, and in the next few days, the Bohai Battalion attacked frequently, but the results were not bad, and at this moment they were no longer afraid of the Liaodong Navy.

Perhaps because the combat power of the old Bohai army gave the villagers of Pingzhou confidence, and perhaps it was because the Khitan wolf cavalry was too oppressive on weekdays, after the wolf cavalry was repelled by the old Bohai army, Funing Port not only did not become inhabited by the villagers due to the war, but the villagers from all over the neighboring Pingzhou gradually gathered in Funing Port with the attack of the Bohai battalion.

After Cao Zheng's rectification, the army of 12 capitals was prepared, except for a baggage capital, two gunners garrisoned the capital, and the rest were full of war capitals, plus the help of Pingzhou villagers to build its fortifications, Cao Zheng was no longer in a hurry at the moment, and now there are nearly 3,000 sergeants in Funing Port, guarding this small port. The Khitan had to dispatch 30,000 wolf horsemen, regardless of the casualties, in order to get down in a few days, if he was a little slack, he could withstand the Khitan attack for half a moon with 3,000 soldiers.

Because the victory was in his hands, Sertan shouted, "Captain, leave this battle to our Xi warriors." ”

Tan Ying, the Jingzhou army guarding Hong Kong, was promoted to the head of the capital because of his military exploits, and ridiculed unconvinced: "Such a small trouble will be handed over to our capital, and it is better to continue to serve as the head of the capital to prevent wolf riding." ”

The rest of the capitals are also excited to ask for battle, of course, they are only the newly appointed capitals, not the special operations capital, the marine corps, the pro-guard capital, and the light cavalry capital, such the old capital of Fanyang Mansion.

Cao Zheng looked at the people under the tent with a smile, and glanced at the four generals, after several battles, the five of them also established a certain tacit understanding, seeing that the four did not rush to invite the battle, he shook his head helplessly and said: "Inform the people and let go of the port." ”

Sertan was stunned when he heard this, and he was puzzled: "Get out of the port." ”

Tan Ying was also surprised: "Why,"

Cao Zheng looked at everyone with shining eyes, the unique gaze of the marksman, and everyone was chilled, but he said slowly: "The Liaodong naval army has always been rooted in the sea outside the port, after all, it is a big enemy, maybe at a certain moment, it will pounce on us and bite us, and it will not be able to prevent thieves for a thousand days, so it will be killed with a stick, but they will be prevented again." ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "Get out of the way of the port in order to destroy the Liaodong ships to a greater extent, a naval army without ships is a tiger without teeth, or a sick tiger." ”

This is the suggestion put forward by Lin Ruishan after receiving the attack of the Liaodong Naval Army, which was quickly adopted by Cao Zheng and others, and Sertan and others did not have such a strategic vision, so they understood it at this moment, and suddenly became more eager.

Sertan slapped his big slap and said excitedly: "The captain is a good plan. ”

Tan Ying was still pragmatic, her little eyes rolled, and she asked, "Captain, how are the troops arranged?"

Cao Zheng waved his hand, and Lin Ruishan stepped forward and ordered: "The four Bohai battalions are all led by Sertan to lead the enemy head-on, and go out of the second defensive wall of the port city to block the enemy's advance. ”

All the heads echoed in unison.

Looking at the morale of the people, Cao Zheng had to tell everyone again: "This battle is aimed at killing the Liaodong Navy that has captured enough prisoners, and we must not beat the Liaodong Navy away in the first round of counterattacks." ”

Everyone laughed and responded, and then they went to prepare for battle.

Gao Xun, who was full of bitterness, led the army again, without the first high spirit, and without the slogan of vowing to fight and achieve fruitful results, the morale of the entire Liaodong Navy was low, if it were not for Gao Xun's prestige being high enough, the Liaodong Navy at this moment would have already dispersed.

Gao Xun did not encourage morale, and in front of the sergeant, he bluntly said that it was just a temptation, not necessarily to take Funing Port, so he slightly dispelled the idea that the sergeant under his command would no longer serve.
