Text Chapter 470 The border battle starts first
It is an iron law to open and close the door at the beginning of the well gate, but as a dragon guard spy or detective, he has his own way to enter the customs. Galloping eighty miles to the gate of the well, the people were tired, and when he looked up and saw the lights shining through the pass, Chen Han had the feeling of being a human being in two lives.
The night wind outside the gate in April was still cold, and there were many vendors stranded under the pass, and the guards on duty who heard the sound of horses' hooves looked vigilantly, Chen Han wiped his sweat, and the sweat and dust condensed into stains on his face, and rubbed it to make his face hurt.
Reaching out and taking out a firework from his bosom, the fireworks exploded into the air after being lit, and beautiful flowers bloomed in the dark night, which was fleeting. Chen Han jumped off the horse, sat in front of the pass and waited, half a pillar of incense, the city was on fire, someone threw a few torches to the pass, Chen Han stood next to the torch. Put down a basket from the gate, Chen Han sat in with his legs, as for the horse temporarily placed outside the gate, someone would naturally collect it when it was dawn.
Ten miles away, Chook Duo reined in his mount, and the fireworks flashed away in his eyes. The fireworks are easy to cold, and after that, there is endless darkness, and the wind stirs the white robe on Chou Keduo's body, and after waiting for a while, Chou Keduo continues to urge the horse to rush towards the direction of Jingmenguan.
The sound of the fireworks naturally also alarmed the caravan under the pass, and the caravan that walked around all the year round knew that it was Zheng Guo's scout cavalry who had entered the pass just now, and it was the beginning of the Yin period, and there must be a major military situation when he entered the pass at this hour, and I don't know if anyone was following behind.
By the time Chokeduo came to the pass, the caravan had already prepared for defense, and a pair of vigilant eyes were cast on the galloping horses, and the igniting bonfire reflected the cold of the steel sword. Chouko reined in his horse twenty paces away, and asked in a loud voice in Rong Mi: "Did someone enter the customs just now?" ”
Someone replied: "Yes, someone entered the customs a quarter of an hour ago, and the horses were still outside the customs." ”
Choukeduo saw the lonely horse, and knew that the general trend had gone, and it was impossible for the eight-zhang high city wall to fly in, and even if he could get in, it would be a sheep's mouth, and this pursuit had failed, even if he killed all the caravans outside the gate, it would be useless. The head of the whirlwind, the thick of the cocole disappears into the darkness.
When the sky was bright, Huli, who had not slept all night, got the news of the failure of the pursuit, was stunned for a long time, and said weakly to the generals standing on both sides: "Send scouts and horses, and tighten your vigilance." After pausing for a while, he said, "Send someone to report to the country, and ask my father to send troops to rescue." ”
Three days later, Guan Pingzhong led 9,000 Zheng troops to appear in the Siduo army village, and Hu Li led 2,000 flying eagle troops to confront Zheng's army. Looking at Zheng Jun, who was several times his own, Hu Li secretly complained, wondering if he could hold out until the arrival of domestic reinforcements. Huli is a prince, but the commander of the Flying Eagle Army is the silver guard general Ukoza.
Under the banner of the flying eagle, Wu Kezha looked at Zheng Jun without fear, he had invaded Huazhou twice, in his heart, Zheng Jun was just hiding behind the city wall and letting go of cold arrows, don't look at the Zheng army, if you want to compete with the Rong Mi cavalry in the Gobi Desert, it is an egg hitting a stone.
Guan Pingzhong has fought with the Western Regions Army for many years, and knows that the Rong Mi cavalry is as fast as the wind, fierce and cruel, and he led the army deep into the Gobi for 80 miles, and the supply is very inconvenient, especially the lack of drinking water.
The wind moved the banner violently, Wu Kezha drew his scimitar and began to instigate the war horse, Rong Mijun followed the commander to urge the war horse, the sound of the horse's hooves was like thunder, like a turbulent wave towards the Zheng army.
How to break the light cavalry with infantry is a formation that Zheng Jun must practice. With a sound of shields and raising their spears, the soldiers in the front row stood up and hid in shields, and their spears were placed on top of their shields, like a thorny dense forest, and the dense forest was spread three times in a row, followed by five hundred archers, bending their bows and arrows to shoot into the sky. Rong Mijun raised his sword and fired arrows, and from time to time someone was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse.
There was a low post twenty zhang behind Zheng Jun, Guan Pingzhong stood under the banner of the sword in his hand, and looked at Rong Mijun who was about to collide with the shield spear with an expressionless face. The subordinate was originally a soldier in the army, and he practiced for more than half a year according to the training method of Jiang Tingshi, and the personal guards selected by Jiang Tingshi had been one enemy and ten outside Jingmen Pass, and I don't know if today's Erlang can withstand the collision of Rong Mi's cavalry.
Ukoza swept forward with his scimitar, and the spear standing in front of his horse was swept aside, and with a light rein, the rider stood up, and his two front hooves stepped heavily on the shield in front of the horse. With a "bang", the shield was trampled backwards, revealing a gap. Ukeza galloped towards the gap, the scimitar swept, and the spear was cut off with the knife, Ukeza knew that as long as he could break through the spear shield forest three times, he would be able to uncover Zheng Jun's tortoise shell, and looked up at General Zheng on the low hill, Ukezha smiled, and the target was him.
Breaking through the second spear shield, Ukeza swept the soldiers beside him out of the corner of his eye, and unexpectedly only dozens of horsemen broke through the second spear shield, and most of them were blocked out. Uneasiness swelled in Ukoza's heart, and before he had time to think about it on the battlefield, the horse's hooves kicked heavily towards the third shield wall, and the shield wall shrank inward, but there was no gap in it.
Before the horse's hooves landed, countless spears pierced from the front, and Wu Kezha took the reins, and the scimitar in his hand conjured up a knife light, and the spear that stabbed was cut off by the scimitar and swept away. The shield was like a wall, circling towards him, the spear pierced through the gap in the shield like a stinger, Wu Kezha dodged left and left, and found that there was not much room for him to dodge, and there were shields all around, except for a dozen or so guards, no other soldiers could be seen.
Most of the two thousand Flying Eagle Army were blocked behind the first shield wall, Guan Pingzhong waved his fist excitedly, and the sweat of Erlang under his command was not in vain, and he stubbornly blocked the impact of Rong Mi's light cavalry. Once these light riders lose their mobility, they are pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
The Rong Mi cavalry was surrounded in small circles, and they couldn't enter the circle at all when they were outside the gun shield, seeing that the encirclement was getting thicker and thicker, Guan Pingzhong was sure in his heart, these damn Rong Mi people thought they could easily break the formation, but they ended up in it, and now it was time to clean them up.
Guan Pingzhong flew on his horse, raised his gun and galloped towards Wu Kezha, he could see clearly on the low hill that the armor on the chest of this Rong Mi general was silver, and Jiang Tingshi, as a civil official, could kill Rong Mi Yinhu, and he would never be worse than him.
Zheng Jun parted to both sides, allowing Guan Pingzhong to rush straight towards Wukeza. The shield wall in front of Ukoza parted to the left and right, staring ahead. Guan Pingzhong's spear took advantage of the horse's momentum and stabbed towards Ukezha with a sharp wind, and Ukezha was squeezed in a small space, with nowhere to avoid, so he had to raise his sword to meet him.
The knife touched the body of the spear, was knocked into the air, the gun penetrated from Wu Keza's right chest like a cloud, Guan Pingzhong pressed the spear, Wu Kezha was picked up by him from the horse, and fell to the ground, Zheng Bing stepped forward and cut off his head, raised it high, no need to command, the soldiers around Guan Pingzhong shouted happily: "The enemy will die, the enemy will die." ”
Wu Kezha's head was raised high by the tip of the spear, the heart of the Rong Mi army was scattered, and the tenacity of the Zheng army in front of them was beyond their imagination, the sword and shield, bow and arrow, and crossbow arrows were tacitly cooperated, and the two thousand light cavalry were divided into small pieces and eaten. Guan Pingzhong shouted: "Erlang, follow me." "Take the lead and kill the military village.
The morale of the Zheng army is like a macro, like a tide to the military village, Hu Li has seen this meeting, frightened the horse and ran, the main general is dead, the prince ran away, all the Rong Mi army has been defeated and fled, Guan Pingzhong led the army to rush into the military village, cutting melons and chopping vegetables to occupy the military village.
Taking stock of the results of the battle, he killed more than 300 Rong Mi soldiers, captured more than 500 people, captured more than 1,400 Rong Mi army horses, nearly 50,000 stone of military rations, and even robbed a number of caravans. Guan Pingzhong smiled from ear to ear, this battle exploit was enough for him to be promoted to another level, but he had captured so many things, and he couldn't transport them back for a while, so he had to send a husband from Huazhou to help carry them. Guan Pingzhong knew that although he could not be careless, he ordered his subordinates to arrange defense, send scouts to investigate everywhere, and wait for the troops sent by the Huazhou Mansion to respond.
Hu Li escaped more than 100 miles under the protection of Chou Keduo, and then stopped to gather the stragglers. Rong Mi's horses were superior to Zheng's army, and many people were able to escape, and by daybreak Huli had gathered more than 1,300 defeated soldiers, and the three bronze generals were unharmed.
The military village has been lost, the soldiers have been abandoned, Huli feels shameless, there must be no good fruit to eat when he goes back, he is going back with the remnants of the defeated generals, the dust is rising in front, the domestic reinforcements have arrived, and the golden general Yi Caiduo hurried with five thousand Fei Biao.
Seeing Itsedo, Huli cried loudly: "Uncle, why didn't you come earlier, Si Duo was lost." "Huli was born to the side princess, and Icaido is the brother of the side princess, who is Huli's maternal uncle.
After receiving the rescue documents sent by Hu Li, Hu Dare was anxious, although Hu Li was incompetent, he was always his own son, and of course he had to be rescued in distress. Besides, the Siduo military village is close to Dazheng, it is an excellent forward position, there are a lot of materials in it, and the country of Rong Mi wants to advance eastward, and the Siduo stronghold is extremely important and cannot be lost.
As a general of the Golden Protector, Isaido is qualified to participate in the court meeting, and his own nephew is in danger, so of course the uncle must go to the rescue. The Yi family is a big clan in the Rongmi country, if Huli can go further, the Yi family will inevitably progress, on the contrary, if Hu Rui comes to power, the Yi family will inevitably be suppressed or even decayed.
After listening to Huli's narration, Isaido arranged for the defeated soldiers to go to eat and rest first, and he gathered his generals to discuss the military situation. Itsedo is a famous general, brave and strategic, otherwise Tiger would not have made him one of the top ten golden protectors, leading an army of 5,000 Feibiao.
"There are a lot of materials in the Stoist military village, and the Zheng army cannot transport the materials back to the pass, and it is very likely that they will be stationed in the military village and wait for reinforcements, so I intend to launch a surprise attack tonight to recapture the Stowe military village." Itzerdo set the tone.
In the middle of the night, Yi Caiduo led 5,000 Feibiao troops and the remnants of the Flying Eagle Army to the military village with the intention of sneak attack. The next day, out of the village array, Yi Caiduo was divided into three roads, Hu Li in order to make meritorious service, with the remnants of the army from the right side of the attack, mourning soldiers available, he was actually rushed out of the mouth, Guan Pingzhong had to lead the troops to retreat into the wall.
In the next three days, the Rong Mi army broke into the village several times, but was forced back by Guan Pingzhong with a crossbow, and when the 20,000 reinforcements from the Anxi Protectorate arrived, Yi Caiduo had to lead the Rong Mi army to retreat.
After this victory, Guan Pingzhong was promoted to one level as he wished, and he was promoted to Anxi Nan, and he was a loyal general on the fourth grade, and he was still stationed in Huazhou, but there were 5,000 new garrisons, and the number of soldiers stationed in Huazhou became 15,000. Chen Hanji made the first merit, rewarded 500 taels of silver, and was promoted to the history of Longwei Dian, and still served under Qin Ziyan.
After Izedo returned to Rongmi, Hu Li was scolded by Tiger Dare and thought about it at home. Afterwards, Hu Li, Yi Caiduo and others all told that the Zheng army had become brave and good at fighting, and that it was not inferior to the Rong Mi army, and that Hu Dare decided to organize the coalition army to advance eastward again, and this time the scope of the coalition army would be expanded. The king of Rong Mi sent a letter to the other 27 countries in the Western Regions, asking him to meet in the capital of Xinyue City in August this year to discuss the eastward advance.
The northward advance has not yet begun, the countries of the Western Regions have the heart to go eastward first, and after receiving the spy report sent by Qin Ziyan, Jiang Anyi frowned, the people of the Western Regions don't want to live in peace, as a assassin, how should the life of Huazhou live?
