Chapter 943: Offense or Defense

I only heard a bang in the big tent of Huangfu Song, and suddenly the officers and colonels in the tent poured out of the big tent, some rushed forward, and some were beckoning several people with the same task to discuss the specific arrangements while walking, in short, all faces were elated, and there were some excited and excited looks.

In any case, the battle of Chang'an seems to have shown the dawn of victory!

The sound of the golden drum in the camp vibrate, the flag fluttered, and on the high sentry platform in the camp, a sturdy soldier was using all his strength to beat the war drums out of the battle, and the dull drum sound, like the heart in the human body beating, shook the blood in the body began to boil little by little.

The people who were still busy near the camp all raised their heads in awe and looked at the scene in front of them. Since the capture of Tongguan, in just a few days, they were originally under the dispatch of Yang Biao, gathered from the surrounding areas of Hongnong's various large and small dock forts, and were drawn from all over the remote fields, and then formed a team of people, and at the same time, in addition to pack horses, there were also ox carts and mule carts, which transported the materials like a hill here, and followed Zhao Wen to provide supplies to Huangfu Song.

In the sound of the horn, it was the light warriors who had won the victory in the battle of Tongguan before, after they had experienced that bloody battle, their expressions were naturally completely different from those troops supplemented by the people, although they were not much neat in the march, but the faint smell of blood still emanated, so that the people near the camp seemed to be pierced by something, and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to face it.

Behind them were the remaining battalions of soldiers and horses of Huangfu Song. Now that a lot of new supplies have been obtained, Huangfu Song's soldiers are not only full in number, but also more powerful than before, and more importantly, a thousand cavalry have been newly added, which are combined with the original thousand Hu cavalry.

This light riding queue is basically all proud and proud. You must know that these Hongnong cavalry were originally good hands in various large and small dock forts, otherwise there would be no opportunity to practice any riding skills, and now after learning that Tongguan was captured, the so-called elites in these dock forts gradually gathered one by one, equipped perfectly, and Huangfu Song's original Hu cavalry gathered together, when it came out, there was really a trend of nearly two thousand light cavalry sweeping through the pass, and it was naturally indescribably majestic!

Huangfu Song is still wearing the old armor of that body, and the color on the armor is quite dark, but the cloak is still bright blood red, combined together, a huge flag above his head is fluttering, and his majesty is rising.

And Zhao Wen behind him looked so inconspicuous.

Huangfu Song stood up and looked back at Zhao Wen who sent him out. The expression on Huangfu Song's face was calm, and Zhao Wen also looked respectful, as if they would be in harmony without any contradictions.

Huangfu Song arched his hand towards Zhao Wen and said, "The big camp here is annoying...... The thief of Xiliang is stubborn and cruel, although it has been defeated, if it is not eradicated, I am afraid that it will recur...... Zirou will stay in this camp for a while, waiting for some good news! ”

Zhao Wen didn't seem to hear the meaning of Huangfu Song's words, he smiled, lowered his head and bowed his hand: "Congratulations to General Huangfu!" I wish the general a speedy victory! ”

Huangfu Song nodded, and then lightly knocked the war horse, and the blood-red cloak rolled in the wind, galloping towards the west.

Zhao Wen still lowered his head, and in a place that everyone couldn't notice, his eyes were cold.

Huangfu Song didn't care about Zhao Wen at all, so he didn't even hand over the logistics to Zhao Wen to manage, although it was said that Zhao Wen would guard the camp, but in fact, since Zheng County had surrendered, could it be that the grain, grass and ordnance would not be stacked in the open air? Naturally, all of them were transported to Zheng County, and they were under the jurisdiction of the military academy that was sent to Zheng County to receive defense, plus Huangfu Li, the nephew left by Huangfu Song, was stationed in Zheng County, so it was almost equivalent to leaving an empty camp for Zhao Wen!

How did this not make Zhao Wen's anger rise in his heart?

But what about Zhao Wen?

Leaving behind Zhao Wen, who was distressed in the rear, the Huangfu army had already stopped all the way and went straight to the west. The mixed formation of the Hongnong cavalry and the Southern Hun cavalry has already surpassed the slow foot soldiers and ran to the forefront of the army, and at the same time as a scout, transmitting information along the way to the foot soldiers behind.

Huangfu Song walked all the way, turned his head, and said loudly to the nearby generals: "Sons! Chang'an is just around the corner! You only need to win Xinfeng, and you will arrive in Chang'an! It's good that you can wait to learn that if you win Chang'an, the reward is needless to say, the work of King Qin is enough for you to seal your wives and sons and compete for the next huge family business! ”

Chang'an is just in front of it, and the key words of reward and family business are things that make every soldier think about it, as soon as Huangfu Song said this, there were bursts of cheers left and right, and the fatigue in the march seemed to be much less......

Huangfu Song sat on horseback, looking into the distance, for money or something, in fact, at Huangfu Song's age, he no longer cares, what he wants is actually the continuation of the real family, the reputation of the entire Huangfu clan. At present, the big man will fall, but how many people can dominate the sky? Now what he has done, I am afraid that in the future, there will be a lot of ink and color in history, thinking of this, Huangfu Song couldn't help but show some smiles.

Along the way, the Xiliang thieves seemed to have disappeared, and even the scouts didn't see a few. Huangfu Song didn't care much, because from Zhengxian to Xinfeng, and even to Chang'an, it was all flat land, and naturally there were no suspicious hidden soldiers such as valleys.

When I set out from Zheng County, some worries gradually disappeared from the bottom of my heart with the vastness of the sight on the road and the stability of the march, while another thought gradually rose up and expanded to the point that everything else could not be tolerated.

Changan!

Capture Xinfeng and go straight to Chang'an!

In the early years of Zhongping, he fought Quyang, beheaded Zhang Bao, and had to be sealed as Jizhou Mu, Huaili Hou, Huaili and Meiyang counties, and there were as many as 8,000 households that could be attributed to their own food!

It's a pity......

At the beginning, it was also a year difference.

Huangfu Song couldn't help but look back and look in the northeast direction.

Han loyalty, Han loyalty......

How much did you pay for these four words? From Huaili to the capital, is it the difference between the two words? Didn't Emperor Han Ling know how ridiculous the so-called reason of Zhang Rang was? Even the battle was fruitless, and it cost money and food?

Hehe, hehe......

However, everything in front of him seems to be staged again, and the entire dynasty of the Han Dynasty seems to have opened its arms to him, just waiting for him to pick it up easily!

Now with 20,000 horses in hand, as long as he can enter Chang'an, then Huangfu Song will immediately absorb all the military power, and then with the fame he has cultivated over the years, he will hold it firmly in his hands, and at that time, at least he will no longer have to live as aggrieved as before, and he will not need to grovel to anyone!

Although the weather is gradually getting warmer, the days are not too long, and as I walked, the sun began to set in the west.

Marching against the enemy at night has always been a taboo for soldiers.

Therefore, under the order of the general who commanded the front army, a group of scouts stretched out to the front to detect, while the rest of the foot soldiers gradually stopped, and under the order of Huangfu Song, the whole army camped on the spot to rest.

At the sound of the golden drum and the trumpet, the troops and horses marching along the main road separated the front to both sides of the road, making way for the middle road so that the baggage vehicles behind could keep up. The scout rangers at the front extended farther and farther away from the front and the wings at the same time, scouting the situation within a radius of thirty or forty miles.

After Zheng County, it is already a horse in Guanzhong, so it doesn't take too much effort to choose the terrain to camp, anyway, it's almost the same, so according to the order of the team, according to the queue, set up camp on the spot.

By the time the wings had spread far enough, the order to camp had reached every soldier. The main force of Huangfu Song, about one hundred and twenty miles away from Xinfeng, set up a huge camp, which was divided by Huangfu Song, the front and back, the left and right, and the army under the command of each camp in the army as a unit, respectively, set up a huge camp. The front battalion protruded as a police post, and the two wings were mainly arranged as cavalry camps, with the huge Chinese camp in the center, while the weak rear camp was sheltered behind the Chinese camp.

Although it is not the kind of majestic camp by the mountains and rivers, but it is already a better deployment on the flat ground, this arrangement not only ensures that the baggage and grain and grass of the rear camp are not exposed to the sight of the Xiliang army in the west, but also meets the standards of the camp on the field, leaving enough passages between the various camps, if you look down from the air, the whole camp of Huangfu Song is like a blooming flower, also known as the five-flower camp.

Huangfu Song's troops were still divided into three levels: regular soldiers, auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands in accordance with the practice of the Han Dynasty, and nearly 20,000 people were busy in this area, and the scene was extremely spectacular. Now the cavalry on both flanks spread out a huge fan, and carried out detailed reconnaissance within a radius of forty miles, and the auxiliaries and people who followed behind had already caught up at this time, and hurriedly began the work of setting up camp under the escort of the regular soldiers, digging trenches, plugging fences, and cutting down trees as horses and deer, and they were very busy.

These things are not needed by the natural pawns, they are more of a guard and guard, and they only need to wait for the auxiliaries and civilians to prepare all this. Pity these auxiliaries and people, they are exhausted, and they have to do these drudgeries, so naturally there is no joy or happiness, but what can the military order do, can only bury their heads and do it like cattle and horses, and strive to finish all these trivial tasks before sunset.

When the sun gradually hung on the edge of the distant mountain, and it seemed that it was about to set, one of Huangfu Song's personal guards approached and reported: "General, the tent of the Chinese army has been set up, please move ...... general."

Huangfu Song looked around, and saw that most of the military tents had been built, and only a small part was left, so he didn't say anything about the dead rules that the military wells had not been dug and the military stoves had not been opened......

As the night gradually fell, Xinfeng City was gradually shrouded in darkness.

Whether it is the barracks of Li Dao's army or the outer city wall of Xinfeng on its side, in the night, it looks extremely gloomy, as if it is shrouded in a black veil, and even the torch light above the city head cannot shine far. The flags on the edge of the city wall were blown by the night wind, and the beeping sounded non-stop.

In Li Dao's camp, the torches also flickered in the wind, just like the glimmer of hope in Li Dao's heart at this moment. In the big tent of the Chinese army, inside and outside the tent, it was full of Xiliang generals, of course, some of them were Qiang, everyone was wearing armor, and under the swaying of the torches, their faces also looked a little uncertain.

At this moment, Li Dao stood straight, stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes slowly looked around the generals and colonels around him, and in his eyes, the bloody killing intent that had been covered up in Chang'an for many years in Xiliang finally burst out!

Everyone in the tent was silent, as if waiting for something.

Until the silence outside the tent was broken, both the Xiliang people and the Qiang people whispered one after another, and there were only two words in everyone's mouth: "Coming, coming!"

In such a whispered sound that was almost "buzzing", several scouts, under the leadership of a scout marquis, rushed directly to Li Dao's tent from outside, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The scout marquis led his subordinates to bow down in front of Li Dao's table, Li Dao took a deep breath, his eyes were blazing, staring at this team leader, and said in a deep voice: "What is the situation, report quickly!" ”

The military marquis clenched his fists and said, "I have already contacted the scouts of the army from Zheng County!" We lost more than 20 people, and finally found out that the Huangfu army was 120 miles to the east! ”

Li Wei didn't move, paused for a while, and continued to ask, "What is the situation in the north?" ”

The scout replied, "As the general expected, they are still gathering at the white water ditch, and there is no movement!" ”

Li Wei's voice suddenly became sharp, and he confirmed again: "Its cavalry soldiers, banners, etc. are all there?" ”

The scout also raised his voice, and replied loudly: "The sons have repeatedly confirmed that the banners of Baishuigou are all there, and there is nothing missing!" Its infantry and cavalry are all in the camp, and the number of stoves has not decreased! ”

"Good!" Li Wei's expression still did not relax, and he continued to ask, "How is General Ma's side?" ”

The scout marquis almost roared: "General Ma has disappeared behind the wild forest in the southwest of Xinfeng!" Now just wait for the general's order to be issued, and you can attack! ”

Li Wei closed his eyes violently, took a long breath, and when he opened them again, he had already exhaled and shouted, "Okay! Great! Come! Get the wine! ”

Li Dao's personal guards had long been ready to stop, and when they heard Li Dao's order, they immediately held stacks of wine bowls and distributed them to the hands of every general inside and outside the big tent, and some people held wine jars and filled the wine bowls one by one.

Li Dao copied the wine bowl into his hand and raised it high: "You are all accompanied by a certain person who has been killed step by step from the cool wind and sand in the west, and now it is hard to win a good future, and some people are so damn that they have hot eyes and want to stretch out their claws!" Where the fuck is this? It's Guanzhong! This has been our Xiqin people since ancient times! Why let those Kanto monkeys toss! Today, I'll say one more thing! ”

"Guanzhong is our Guanzhong, whoever fucking stretches out his paws, stretches out one and chops one, and stretches a pair of fucking ones to chop a pair! Let these Kanto monkeys also know that the knives of our Xiliang men are not vegetarians! ”

After speaking, Li Dao raised the wine bowl to everyone: "Everyone, win the drink!" Drink this bowl and chop his damn Kanto monkey go! ”

The Xiliang generals inside and outside the big tent suddenly looked excited, their blood surged, and they ripped their necks and shouted: "Victory!" Win! Hack those Kanto monkeys to death! ”

In the cheers of everyone inside and outside the crowd, Li Wei raised the wine bowl, saluted from afar, and then raised his head and drank it all, and then slammed the wine bowl on the ground, and suddenly the stoneware bowl was smashed into pieces, splashing and scattering. Everyone present also followed Li Dao's example, drank all the wine in the bowl, and then smashed the wine bowl heavily, and for a while, the soldiers inside and outside the big tent sounded chaotically, as if dozens of accented notes at the front of the war music were played......
