Liyang County, outside Qingshan County, military border pass.

It's still a long way from the county seat.

Inside the pass is Qin, and if you walk twenty miles outside the pass, you will enter the territory of Xirong.

At the beginning, the Qin army broke Xirong, Xiao Yuan opened thousands of miles, restored the city twelve, and the king of Xirong sent an envoy to sue for peace, and signed a series of treaties with him in the Heishi Plain.

According to the regulations of the two countries, there are clear regulations that outside Qingshan County and within the national border, Xirong is not allowed to go south to graze horses, otherwise, it will be regarded as a war provocation.

At this time, the border gate was defended.

"Report ~~~~~"

A soldier hurriedly ran up, knelt down on one knee and said, "General, discover the enemy's situation!" ”

"What!?" When Yang Heng heard this, he was taken aback at first, and then said in a cold voice: "Explain the details!" ”

"The sentinel cavalry reported that fifteen miles outside the pass, in our country, there were a large number of Xirong horse teams, about 100 people, and their behavior was suspicious." The soldier said.

"Well...... It seems that although Xirong was defeated once, the heart of invading our Central Plains has never changed. ”

Yang Heng said with a cold face, and then pointed at the herald: "Immediately send a light cavalry to strike at it by force!" ”

"No!" The soldier took the order and left.

But when the adjutant general heard this, he was a little worried: "General, if you rashly take force to strike, I am afraid that it will directly lead to war. ”

Hearing this, Yang Heng glared at him and said directly: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different!" At the beginning, the king signed a treaty with the king of Xirong, which clearly stipulated that Xirong was not allowed to enter our country, and now they are the first to break the rules. How to explain to the imperial court! ”

Yang Heng, an old subordinate of Xiao Yuan, was promoted by virtue of his military exploits, and there is no need to say much about his bloody nature, since Xiao Yuan ordered him to be stationed at the border pass, it also shows the iron and blood of this person's fighting style.

When the adjutant general heard this, he lowered his head: "This ...... Be. ”

Under Yang Hengjun's order, soon, Qin Pass was opened, and a thousand cavalry rolled up dust and galloped out.

The cavalry of the Qin State is divided into infantry and light cavalry, and the equipment of the infantry cavalry is more sophisticated, which is suitable for siege and fortification, and relatively slow.

And the light cavalry, which is most suitable for blitzkrieg, horse cavalry, everyone is equipped with short crossbows, and the wind is lightning.

This light horse, the speed was so fast, it didn't take long at all, and it swept in.

This is already the territory of the Qin State, and on the plain, a large group of men dressed as Xirong people are sitting together in twos and threes, and someone else is still writing something quickly.

There was a rumbling sound, and the earth seemed to begin to tremble.

A group of Xijon men were shocked, and when they stood up, someone immediately shouted: "Run!" (Sijon)"

As soon as he gave the order, the others reacted, and immediately turned over and got on their horses, well-trained, and obviously not ordinary people.

But as soon as they got on their horses, the Qin cavalry had arrived in an instant, and a general who rushed to the front saw this, but without saying a word, he pulled out the war knife at his waist and pointed forward: "Release the arrow!" ”

Following his order, the cavalry took off their crossbows from the side of their horses, and the momentum did not stop, pulling the trigger one after another.

The crossbow arrows gathered together, shot straight at them, pounced and pounced, and in just an instant, they shot over a large number of men.

Howling erupted.

Immediately afterwards, the war horses rolled up dust, and more than a thousand Qin cavalry immediately surrounded the rest of the men in the middle.

Seeing this scene, where did the Xirong men dare to resist, they dismounted one after another and knelt on the ground:

"We have no ill will, don't get me wrong, surrender, we surrender......"

Although they speak the Sijon language, anyone can tell what they mean by their movements.

General Qin first glanced at it with a cold face, and then waved his hand and shouted, "Grab them all!" Search those bodies! ”

"No!" The cavalry in the front row immediately responded, then turned over and dismounted, and quickly stepped forward, and in pairs, detained the living man, while the others began to search the corpse.

After a while, a Qin soldier really found a letter.

"General, there's a discovery!"

"Oh!?" General Qin's spirit was shocked, and after receiving the letter, he saw that it was all Xirong characters, and he did not delve into it here, but waved his hand again: "Bring them back to the camp!" ”

This light cavalry blitzkrieg effect is excellent, and after returning to the camp, General Qin also immediately returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, as soon as he entered, he knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "General Yu, there are a total of one hundred and three thieves in Xirong, forty were shot and killed by our army, and the rest were all arrested." ”

"Yes." Yang Heng nodded.

General Qin said again: "In addition, a secret letter was found from the dead Xirong thief. ”

As he spoke, he also took out the secret letter and respectfully handed it over.

"Oh!?" When Yang Heng heard this, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and hurriedly took it, but at a glance, he frowned.

In the past few years that he has been stationed at the border pass, he actually knows some Xijon language, but he has never studied the language.

After a general glance, he immediately said, "Quick, please come over." ”

"No!" Qin Jiang clenched his fists and left.

Since it is a military powerhouse, of course, it is equipped with civilian officials.

After a short time, the civil official was invited over, and Yang Heng's words were concise and to the point, and he directly explained the meaning.

"Sijon Secret Letter?" The civil official was startled at first, and then hurriedly took it and watched it carefully.

"The military defense of Qinguan is too heavy, and we can't get close to ......"

"Fifteen miles outside the pass, there is a beacon tower, which is used by the Qin army for warning......"

"The distribution of forces is unknown, and further exploration is needed ......"

He read the contents out loud as he read them.

"What!?" After Yang Heng listened, his eyes were cold, and he also subconsciously glanced at the generals on the left and right.

Everyone in the tent had a solemn face.

After reading it, the civil official also put away the letter, and said: "General, it seems that recently, Xirong has been trying every means to spy on our army's military situation, but today, I was suddenly attacked by my light cavalry, and the letter will be sent back in the future, and according to this, Xirong's army may have abnormal movements." ”

"What a bold thief!" Some generals couldn't help but say something.

Some people also said angrily: "Foreign thieves, they still want to come to my homeland!" Is it tolerable or unbearable! ”

Yang Heng took a deep breath, looked around, and said in a loud voice:

"Order the whole army to prepare for war urgently!"

"Send a large number of sentry cavalry to spy on the Xirong army!"

"Order the beacon tower, guard day and night!"

"At the same time, pass on the king and tell him about the situation in Qinguan."

"No!" The generals clasped their fists in unison.

After these arrangements were completed, the civil official was slightly worried: "General, Xirong Jing was defeated last time, and it stands to reason that he has not dared to be presumptuous in recent years. ”

Yang Heng heard this and said: "I don't care about these things, my duty is to guard the country!" ”
