On October 22, 988 in the Shenzhou calendar, the Zhulu Army waved its division north, and the Xuanjia Army of Liaodong Province sent 100,000 reinforcements at the beginning of the war. The defenders of Lingbei, Jingbei, and Liaodong also hurriedly gathered 200,000 troops. Let's start with the deer army.

At three o'clock, the deer army assembled in the northern suburbs, the flag covered the air, the momentum was like a rainbow, the soldiers were dressed in well-proportioned black military uniforms, one by one burly and straight, simple and strong, like the green pine standing on the top of the mountain. Energetic.

There have been too many outstanding generals in this army of kings that have existed for a hundred years, Emperor Taizu who is determined to conquer the Central Plains in the world, Yao Yuan, who drove the barbarians deep into the mountains and old forests in the hinterland of southern Xinjiang, Wu Maojie who followed Taizong to fight outside the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and Huang Ziyu, who led 100,000 soldiers to stop martial arts and make the rivers and lakes reckless and become the eagle dogs of the imperial court. Yao Changxing, who drove straight into the hinterland of the demon clan. The rising star Ning An Hou Tao Ning. and the Marquis of Hui Yong, who died in battle, was also from the Zhulu Army.

Yao Qian personally saw off 150,000 soldiers of the Zhulu Army. Today, the emperor, who has been hidden for more than ten years, is only beginning to show his prominence.

On either side of the emperor stood Prime Minister Li Zifang. Inspector Shi Jiang Wencheng, Sui Jianzhi, the secretary of the ministry, Qian Boss, the head of the household department, Li Ziru, the governor of the capital, Qi Jianxian, the governor of the left, Wu Yi, the governor of the right capital, Lu Shangyan of the general staff and other important ministers. It is enough to see the importance attached to this expedition.

Yao Changxing, who was wearing a stone blue martial arts suit, came to the front of Yao Qian and his party, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Holy Lord, my lords, the army of Zhulu has been assembled. ”

"Good!" The dragon robe sets off Yao Qian's martial arts even more extraordinary, and the emperor's aura can be seen at a glance. He walked up to the whole army and gazed deeply at his sons, and he was satisfied.

This group dedicated their youth to the army, putting life and death on the line. Those who shed their blood for the country deserve the respect of all. Some of their parents are old, and some of their children are still babbling, but this group of people still left them without hesitation. They left to protect more people.

That's all there is to it. The same is true of sacrificing one's family for one's country.

After a long time, Yao Qian said slowly: "My soldiers, my sons, the barbarians from the north are here, they forgot the pain, a hundred years ago they were killed on our territory by Emperor Taizu and returned to their hometown in the grassland, Emperor Taizong fought all the way to their capital city, their emperor begged us for mercy and sent his own son over as a hostage." But they don't have a long memory, and now they have reached out again, and they have killed our countrymen and usurped our land, can you agree? ”

"Can't!" The 150,000 soldiers of the Zhulu Army replied in unison at the first time, all of them red-faced and red-eared, filled with righteous indignation.

Yao Qian nodded lightly with satisfaction, and the light in his eyes flickered. He continued: "The iron cavalry of the Northern Barbarians is known as the best in the world, they have tall horses, they have pure gold iron armor, are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid!" The sound was like thunder, resounding through the sky and shocking people's hearts.

"Let's Xuanping rise in the troubled times, drive the Northern Yuan, level the five countries, chase the demons, sweep the Southern Barbarians, generation after generation of people have worked hard to have today's prosperity, only to have such a vast territory, these are the soldiers with flesh and blood, every inch of land is sprinkled with the blood of the ancestors, now the Northern Yuan Empire is coming, I will guard with you, if one day you are gone, I will replace you, fight until the last drop of blood is exhausted, the emperor and the queen of the earth, the truth is learned." In the end, Yao Qian used me to call him, abandoning the title that was unique to the Ninety-Five Supreme.

After that, Yao Qian made a deep impression on the soldiers, and he couldn't afford it for a long time.

In response to Yao Qian, it was the enduring shouts of the soldiers and hundreds of officials of the Zhulu Army: "The sun and the moon will last forever, the mountains and rivers will always be there, and Xuanping will be forever." The sun and the moon will last forever, the mountains and rivers will last forever, and Xuanping will be eternal. The sun and the moon are eternal, the mountains and rivers are eternal, and Xuanping is eternal. ”

Yes, what kind of situation has Xuanping not seen? From the war of the Six Kingdoms to the Northern Yuan Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains, fighting the demons and fighting the Southern Barbarians, if you can drive the enemy away at one time, you can subdue them again, and now Xuanping's national strength and combat effectiveness are not stronger than those during the founding of the country.

Yao Qian returned to Yao Changxing and the others, and whispered to his little uncle: "Please! ”

Yao Changxing stared at Yao Qian, thinking of his father, the Eternal Sage, the newly emerging Yao Qian is really more and more like him, the tiger father can give birth to a dog, and the emperor of Xuanping will not and cannot disappoint.

Yao Changxing knelt on one knee, put one hand on his chest, supported the ground with the other, and said solemnly: "The minister dare not guarantee that he can drive the Northern Barbarian away, but if he does not beat the Northern Barbarian back, the minister will not come back alive to see the saint." ”

Yao Qian hurriedly stepped forward to help up his little uncle and looked at him, his uncle is old, how high-spirited he was when he went west to conquer the demon clan in the past!

Yao Qian's gaze slowly moved to the left and right, as if he wanted to remember everyone, and he said loudly, "I hope you come back alive." ”

No one answered Yao Qian's words, the general died in a hundred battles, the strong man returned in ten years, the battlefield was like a cemetery, Xuanping was invincible, but this time the enemy surpassed the past, who would dare to say that he could really win those northern barbarians possessed by turtle shells, confidence does not mean that it is not realistic.

"Let's go!" Yao Changxing waved his hand and spoke.

As soon as the military order came out, the army set off and embarked on the road to the north, but I didn't know how many people would fight and how many people would return.

Baiguan silently watched and saw him off, and did not move until the black dragon disappeared from sight.

Tao Li couldn't help but look back on horseback, there were people he loved and people who loved him, goodbye!

"Pears." A voice sounded from behind Tao Li, it was the bamboo pole.

"Little Seven." Tao Li shouted overjoyed, I really didn't expect him to come, he had just gotten married. Shouldn't this be accompanying her beautiful girl?

Tao Li said with a smile: "Why did you come with me, you don't want the daughter-in-law you just married?" ”

Qi Liang waved his big hand and pretended to be heroic, and said: "The man is ambitious in all directions, how can he live in a corner of the place, how can there be no one less in the army going north." ”。

Tao Li sighed secretly, I pity that girl, but didn't I also lose her.

Qi Liang seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the bumps on horseback, twisted his body, kept the same speed as Tao Li, patted Tao Li's shoulder and said: "I won't say much about the big truth, you know, we are all people all the way, and the thing to do now is how to deal with that woman." ”

Tao Li nodded in agreement, it seems that Xuanping's Qiu Cicada is starting to move seriously, the woman who was hiding behind the scenes and planning everything in Beiyuan was dug up, Qiu Cicada is also known, I know, I know, I know, then again, if it hits Xuanping's territory, even the other party's coach doesn't know it, I really don't have to fight.

Tao Li looked back at the four people who followed behind Qi Liang, his body was tall and not burly, his face was resolute, but he could not move at all on the bumpy horseback, he knew at a glance that it was a very strong practitioner, it should be sent by Qi Jianxian to protect Qi Xian, and at the same time, Qi Liang was also observing Renli and others, secretly smacking his tongue, this pear is really a real person, he is a master, and he has nine with him.

Qi Liang looked at the nine people of Renli, and then looked back at his four entourage, his brows jumped, and he thought for a while, vaguely thinking about it.

Huang Heshuo and Ding Huaixing rode their horses to follow Tao Li, Huang Heshuo was still as light and breezy as before, Qi Liang's gaze swept over, he nodded lightly, Ding Huaixing immediately hugged his fists, after Tao Li gave him a lesson in the last time in the deer camp, this lieutenant was much more honest, he really knew that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky, and there are many children in the imperial capital, but not all of the top generals who came out of the court were useless, and their parents and ancestors did not allow them to do nothing. The saying that literati are light on each other and warriors are heavy on each other is most evident in the military camp and can be seen everywhere. If you don't accept the comparison, it's over.

"Duwei Huang, can you get to Fengcheng before dark?" Tao Li counted the time and asked Huang Heshuo.

"Among the three elite battalions in our Deer Chasing Army, the number of cavalry in the Deer Chasing Battalion is much smaller. This is also the reason for the scarcity of war horses, most of the war horses are given priority to the supply of the western Zhige, the two armies of Anning, even if it is the Zhulu battalion, there is not much, the Dingding battalion of the infantry does not need to be said, the marching speed is a must, the halberd battalion is not slow to go into battle lightly now, and the rest of the soldiers are considered to be excellent, at the current speed, I am afraid it will be after dark," Huang Heshuo briefly analyzed the situation in the Zhulu army.

Of the twenty-four elite battalions in Xuanping, the Zhulu Army occupies three of them, cavalry, infantry, and heavy infantry. The combat power is terrifying, it is a pity that the consumption of horses after the first battle of chasing demons is too great, eight years ago, the Northern Yuan also stopped the horse trade, when Anning Hou went to the West, Yao Changxing generously sent three thousand iron cavalry to form an Anning iron cavalry, so that the number of cavalry troops of the Zhulu Army is too small. Fortunately, the main task of this trip north is still mainly defense.

Tao Li said with some anxiety: "In this way, I hope to get to Beiding City as soon as possible!" ”

Qi Liang moved his body to make himself as comfortable as possible. Said disapprerovingly: "Beiding City is also a second-class fortified city, the Northern Yuan army of 300,000, the infantry is only 100,000, the cavalry will definitely not be overused to attack the city, the northern cities and the Xuanjia army have set off, the army of Beiding City is getting more and more day by day, there is no need to worry too much." ”

There was another sentence that Qi Liang didn't say. In fact, he was more worried about the situation on the other side of the Heishui River, hoping that his premonition would not come true.

Tao Li bowed slightly, he always believed in Qi Liang's words at first sight, and he couldn't say why.

Tao Li stretched out his hand and put it on Qi Liang's shoulder, running the exercises, and suddenly a cool feeling swept over Qi Liang's body, like a breeze blowing on his face, extremely comfortable.

"Pear, go back and teach me two tricks, you are now, I feel that my bones are a few pounds lighter." Qi Liang stretched and said.

Tao Li thought about it very seriously and said, "This is not right!" ”

"Why?"

"The root bones are too bad!"

Qi Liang was a little lonely, God gave him a brilliant head, but gave him a weak body, damn it.

"It's okay, with me, you'll be fine."

"Good!"

On the official road of the Xuanping Dynasty, there were groups of men with Wu hooks, going from south to north, and they didn't know when they would return.
