Chapter 856: Breaking Anjung
has been looking at the wolf smoke wafting in the distance in the sky, Ye Liyou's heart is turbulent and cranky, and after a while, a moment of imagination appears in front of him: the dead fat man Li Xiao, who is fighting with the soldiers of the Song army in the camp, is retreating, and he is about to be defeated. After a while, it will appear again, Li Xiao is hideous with his fat face, holding the bloody head of Ye Qing, the general of the Song Army, looking up to the sky and laughing wildly Ye Liyou, you don't want to compete with Lao Tzu!
As his younger brother Ye Liqun quickly ascended to the gate tower, Ye Liyou was already confused and uneasy by the wolf smoke in the distance, and he was afraid that Li Xiao at this time would really snatch the credit from him.
So at this time, he didn't care about waiting for Li Xiao to fight with the Song army until he was exhausted before rushing to help, and at the moment, in order not to let the credit fall into the hands of others, he turned his head and said to Ye Liqun: "Give you three thousand henchmen, and immediately rush to the aid of the Great Earthquake Pass, there must be no mistake." Remember, whether you live or die, you have to snatch Ye Qing for me! No, give you 5,000 people, after this battle, whether you can become the guard of the Great Earthquake Pass and replace Li Xiao is up to you! ”
Ye Liqun, who was full of flesh and strong body, nodded firmly, he had lived under Ye Liyou's account for many years, and he had never been promoted, and now since his brother gave him this opportunity, if he couldn't grasp it anymore, it would be stupid.
"Big brother, don't worry, not only Ye Qing, but I will bring it back to you, if possible...... I will also let you never see Li Xiao, a dead fat man, in the future. Ye Liqun listened to Ye Liyou increase the number of soldiers and horses he gave him from 3,000 to 5,000, how could he not understand what such a move and the words that followed.
"You know what I know, God knows what I know." Ye Liyou said with a gloomy sneer, and watched Ye Liqun, who was as strong as a bear, step on the stone steps, and walked down the castle tower with a clangling sound under his feet.
The door of Anrong Pass was wide open, and it was only a moment of effort, Ye Liqun led five thousand elite horsemen, quickly rushed out of the gate, and drove in the direction of Dazhen Pass.
Ye Liyou has always hoped that his two brothers can guard one level like Li Ren and Li Xiao brothers, but over the years, they have always been suppressed by Li Ren and Li Xiao brothers and unable to move, so after finally having a chance today, Ye Liyou will never give up easily.
There are six passes in Guanlongdao, if you count Longcheng, which is closest to Jingzhaofu Road, it can be regarded as seven passes, and among these seven passes, in addition to Li Ren and Li Xiao's brothers, the two passes at the west entrance are the red deer and Longcheng at the east entrance, which are the most enviable.
Li Ren and Li Xiao guarded the first and second passes into Jingzhao Mansion, and the merchants who had come and gone for a year were far more abundant than a few of them.
And in the eastern entrance of the Guanshan Longcheng, red deer, as the first and second passes of the Song people into the summer, they also harvest a lot every year, and the father and son of Wei Ming Linggong and Wei Ming Asang have also been dominating these two passes for many years, and they have already filled their pockets with countless gold and silver treasures.
Only the three passes they are stuck in the middle, whether they are merchants from the east or west, after arriving at them, they all belong to the front and back passes, and there is not much oil and water left, so for so many years, their three passes can only live a light life of eating meat and drinking soup, and at the end of the year, they will not make a lot of money like the father, son and brother.
Therefore, at this time, Ye Liyou naturally wants his younger brother to occupy an important pass, so that their brothers can live a truly prosperous life.
But the ideal is the ideal after all, and the reality will always be so realistic, looking at the back of Ye Liqun, which is becoming more and more blurred among the five thousand people, Ye Liyou's mood at this time is an indescribable feeling, just like this time the separation from Ye Liqun will become a farewell.
Whether it is Guanlong Road or Qinjiayuan Road, since it is called Guankou, then its road must not be too wide, and even if it is Guanlong Road, which is praised by merchants, the widest point is just enough to accommodate two carriages in parallel.
After all, no matter how wide and flat the road is, if you are in the middle of the mountains, it will always have its limitations, and it will never be like an open and flat plain, which can allow the cavalry to gallop as freely as on the grassland.
Ye Qing chose Guanlong Road, naturally because it was conducive to the width and flatness of cavalry operations, but this was conducive to the conditions for cavalry operations, and it was also compared to the more difficult Qinjiayuan Road, not other terrain.
Guanlong Road, which is extremely suitable for small cavalry operations, allows Ye Qing to use the terrain and terrain to attack and defend with ease once he encounters the Xia people, while for the Xia people with a large number of people, once they are crowded in a rather narrow place, the advantage in strength will become their disadvantage, and even become an important reason for their defeat and total annihilation.
One by one, the scouts ran back in the early morning sweating, and the three cavalry brigades that had been improvised instantly widened the distance between each other, so as to reserve the troops in front of them for a possible retreat in the early stage of the fierce encounter.
At this time, most of the arrows were equipped with the old Beiwei army at the front, and Ye Qing led more than 300 people behind him, most of them were spear-based, and the flower planting army at the rear was more direct, directly using the waist knife as the main combat weapon, becoming a new force in the army of only more than 1,000 people, and becoming a shot of strength when Ye Qing and the old Beiwei army were about to be unable to hold on.
Arrows rained down on the narrow pass, and the brave won when they met on the narrow road, and Ye Liqun had not yet figured out why a small group of Song cavalry suddenly appeared in front of him, and the rain of arrows had already appeared above his head.
The Song army on the opposite side was obviously not afraid of their numerical superiority, and the distance between the two was also rapidly narrowing as waves of arrows rained down on them mercilessly in the sprint.
Ye Liqun's screams resounded one after another, and the first time he encountered the rain of arrows, he suddenly slowed down, or even stopped, the speed of the original gallop, so that the Xia soldiers behind him, without knowing the situation ahead, pulled the reins tightly one by one, and then crashed into each other by surprise.
Just as the big cars in front of them suddenly collided together on the highway, and the rear cars were unable to judge the accident ahead, the Xia people on the Guanlong Road who were black and pressed at this time let out a miserable scream because of the arrows falling overhead, and the Xia soldiers in the rear were because of the neighing sound after the collision of the war horses, and the people on the horseback would also collide together, and the screams were instantly practiced.
The black pressure of 5,000 cavalry, if placed on the grassland, may not feel how large its scale is, but now placed on the narrow Guanlong Road, which can only accommodate two carriages in parallel, you will find that this is also like a black ocean, surging from the back to the front of the chaotic and resulting "waves" of war horses flying and soldiers falling off their horses.
The front doesn't know why the screams sounded in the rear, and the rear doesn't know why the front suddenly stopped, so among the Xia soldiers in the rear who don't know the situation in front of them, some people will even let out a relaxed schadenfreude laugh after a collision or a lucky escape from the collision of others next to them, not knowing at all that the front has now started a tragic battle with the Song army.
One came prepared, and the other was unprepared, eager to fly to the Great Earthquake Pass, never thinking that they would meet the Song army on the way, let alone that the Song army had been waiting for a long time.
When the last wave of arrow rain fell, it was also when the old Beiwei army approached the soldiers at the forefront of the Xia people, the chaotic scene of people turning over on their horses made Ye Liqun difficult to parry for a while, as the frightened and injured war horses around them began to raise their hooves and want to escape, and the soldiers on the back of the declining horses did not have time to shout, and they were kicked over by their own war horses, the entire Xia army led by Ye Liqun was powerless at this time.
Like a sharp waist knife cutting into tofu, the old Beiwei army effortlessly inserted into the chaotic Xia people's ranks, and the sound of fighting and swords and guns clashing in an instant resounded throughout Guanlong Road.
Blood gushed out from the cracks in the hard armor, and the good heads and arms began to fall to the ground alone, and the elusive spear pierced the chest, through the back of the heart, and it didn't even have time to pull out the spear, and the waist knife in the hand could be slashed down indiscriminately, and a warm blood spilled on the wrist would be felt instantly.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Liqun fell into passivity and panic, even when he wanted to organize other remnants to slash and kill the old Beiwei army that had all penetrated into their ranks from behind, he saw hundreds of Song cavalry in front of him, and they rushed towards them with murderous energy.
Unable to pay attention to the first wave of Song people who had already rushed into their ranks, Ye Liqun had to roar and began to forcibly assemble, and the soldiers of the Xia people were born under the backs of their horses and the ghosts and wolves.
But everything happened too quickly, from the time they saw the Song army, to the time they noticed the rain of arrows overhead, to the time when they reacted to resist, it was only a matter of a moment, but for the Xia people who were being slaughtered, the time seemed as if centuries had passed.
The sounds of fighting, hissing, and screaming were mixed together, so even if the wild Liqun with a full face was loud, at this time, the soldiers who could effectively obey his command were almost gone.
The waist knife in his hand separated a spear that stabbed like lightning, and his wrist felt painful, Ye Liqun couldn't care much at this time, and seeing that the second wave of Song people had already exchanged hands with them, he began to want to ride his horse across the ditch on the side of the road and run back.
But before he could squeeze his horse out of the chaotic crowd, two more spears stabbed at him, blocking one and avoiding the other, which was pointed straight at the heart, and in front of him appeared a young man with a thin face.
"The Xia general, Ye Liyou?" Ye Qing stabbed forward with a spear in both hands and asked.
"Who are you......." Before Ye Liqun could finish speaking, he felt a pain in his throat, and his neck seemed to be stuck with a spear, and finally he saw the young man laugh, and after quickly drawing his spear, he continued to pursue his men.
The sun finally rose above the ground level, sprinkled on the cold mountains and rivers that had been sleeping all night, and also brought a trace of vitality to the sleeping Lanzhou City.
As he grew older, Hot Gongji had become extremely disgusted with sleeping, and for him, sleeping was a complete waste of his life, so every night after the hour had passed, he would come out of the study, but at the end of the day, his eyes would open involuntarily.
Sleeping time for only two hours a day is already a waste of his precious time for Hot Gongji, even after arriving in Lanzhou, he still maintains such a schedule.
When he got up at the end of the day, after coming to the study, he began to imagine when the news that Ye Qing had entered the customs would be sent to the Guguan or the Great Earthquake Pass today?
Then, according to his speculation, he would rest all night at the Great Earthquake Pass last night, and then after the sun rose early this morning, he would set off for Anrong Pass, and by noon, basically Ye Qing would really enter the burial place he had designed for Ye Qing with his own hands.
"After noon, the old man can really put his mind at ease." A rather accomplished smile appeared on the corner of Hot Gongji's mouth, and after a hurried knock on the door, Hot Gongji unhurriedly hid the smug smile, replaced it with a majestic expression, and asked the people at the door to come in in a deep voice.
"Prime Minister ......." The prefect of Lanzhou looked flustered, and his hand holding a secret letter trembled slightly at this time.
"What's wrong?" Hot Gongji glanced at the window of the study, and at this time, a pale golden sunlight finally sprinkled there.
"Solid ...... The fortified pass is lost. The prefect of Lanzhou said with a crying voice.
"Lost? How did you lose it, and the Song people attacked? Hot Gongji frowned, stretched out his arm, took the secret letter handed over by the Lanzhou prefect, and said without raising his head: "Go on, what's going on." ”
"Yes, Prime Minister." The prefect of Lanzhou looked at the hot Gongji who opened the letter, and said with trembling lips: "That leaf thief actually took the initiative to launch a war against Guguan, and yesterday he completely annihilated more than 1,000 soldiers in Guguan, and the head of the guard general Li Ren was hung on the gate to demonstrate to us...... Prime minister....... ”
The prefect of Lanzhou, whose throat was tight, only heard the letter in the hand of Hot Gongji as he spoke, and he made a slight trembling sound because of Hot Gongji's trembling hands, and couldn't help but ask a little nervously.
Ye Qing ...... Darn! The camp of 4,000 people couldn't stop just one Ye Qing! Who gave him the ability to dare to take the initiative to attack my Great Xia Border Pass! Hot Gongji slapped the secret letter on the table, making a loud sound, and even the Lanzhou prefect who was standing opposite trembled involuntarily.
"Mobilize the left and right armies of Lanzhou, and go to Guanlong Road immediately, I don't care what method you use, I ...... I...... I must let Ye Qing's corpse be broken into ten thousand pieces! There is no place to die! Ahem, cough, cough ....... The hot man stood up suddenly, and after coughing a few times, the whole person began to sway.
"Prime Minister ......." The prefect of Lanzhou hurriedly stepped forward to support him, looking at the hot Gongji with his chest rising and falling violently, his beard upturned, and his face flushed, and then he swept the letter that was slapped on the table, and the words that more than 4,000 people were slaughtered in the big earthquake were instantly smashed on his forehead like a heavy hammer, and there was a bang in his mind, and he couldn't believe that this was the truth.
"Ye Qing, he's crazy! Old man...... The old man must break your body into pieces! I can't wait to drink your blood and eat your flesh! I'm a good son of Daxia, you actually ...... You dare to slaughter five thousand of my Great Xia soldiers in a row! This account, the old man, must let you pay the debt with blood! Hot Gongji shook off the arm of the Lanzhou prefect to comfort him, picked up the letter on the table again, as long as he saw the words of the slaughter of more than 4,000 people in the Great Earthquake Pass, there was a wave of dizziness in front of him, and endless anger and heartache in his heart!
As a period of unbearable silence passed, the hot Gongji, who gradually calmed down and calmed down, looked at a few Xia Chen in the study a little weakly, the original secret letter had been tightly held in his palm, as if it was tightly gripping Ye Qing's throat.
It was hard for him to understand why Ye Qing suddenly went crazy, why he launched the massacre of Guguan and Dazhenguan without warning!
Could it be that he had already realized his plan to kill him? So what he did in Xingqing Mansion was completely acting with himself?
