The red sun in the east sky is thin, and outside the Tang Ya chief lawsuit, the stone soldiers are divided into three parts as usual, with two wings to cover, and the middle road is the mainstay.

Hundreds of steps away from the battlefield, under the canopy, a tall woman stood on her sword and looked into the distance. Although she is a woman, her armor is distinct, heroic, a pair of phoenix eyes are scorching, and the eyes of the generals accompanying her on the left and right occasionally sweep her face, and her eyes are unconsciously filled with a bit of admiration and awe.

She is the mother of Ma Xianglin, the current Shi Yan Xuan Envoy, the Governor of Shi Yan, the second rank of the Lady of the Command, Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu is now over the age of six, at this age, even among the male generals, it is time to retire and beg and enjoy his old age in peace. This time she went out to fight the thieves, Qin Zhang, Hu Mingcheng and even the leader of the monks and soldiers, Ye Heng, had advised her to live in the middle of the division to control the remote control, but she didn't care, not only took the examples of Lian Po and Huang Zhong, but also compared with the deputy chief soldier Zhang Ling and Zhou Jixian, one of these two people is nearly seventy years old, and the other is more than eighty years old, but they are still fighting on the front line, and they are not as good as removing their armor. As a member of the world-famous stone soldiers, what reason is there to shirk? Zhao Ying was brutal and unkind, and he was entrusted by the emperor to return to his hometown to be a thief in front of the palace, that is, he risked his life to annihilate this ugly class.

Adhering to a strong sense of mission to eliminate traitors for the country and share worries for the monarch, Qin Liangyu not only personally led the troops out of the country, but also went to the front line to supervise the battle.

After a few days of siege, I don't think the thief ditch in this village really has some ability, counting more than a dozen waves of attacks, but none of them can enter the village. The more difficult the other party is, the more Qin Liangyu's fighting spirit will be - if such a murderous thief is allowed to wander, I don't know how many places and how many people will be harmed.

The night before, she didn't close her eyes all night, and discussed the next way of attacking the village with a few powerful generals all night.

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, no matter what medicine is sold in the gourd of the thief canal, Qin Liangyu is not worried. In terms of field battles, she has full confidence in the stone warriors under her majesty.

3,500 stone soldiers, 1,500 on the front line, divided into three parts, were fighting fiercely with the Zhao battalion soldiers who went out of the village, of which the left and middle roads were controlled by Hu Mingcheng, and the right road was handed over to Yeheng's 500 monks. The 1,000 reserve was commanded by the Dusi Qin Seal, and prepared for battle between the main formation and the front line. The remaining 1,000 people will be in charge of the main formation, and Qin Yongcheng of the Chinese army is in charge.

The Tangya chief lawsuit is backed by Xuanwu Mountain, facing the Tangya River, and is on the slope of the mountain. The terrain below is undulating, only the narrow area on both sides of the river bank is slightly flat, and this is the most fiercely contested area between the two sides.

Shi Yan's white pole soldiers are good at mountain warfare, and their smallest independent combat unit is the flag, with a total of 16 people, starting with one person in the first place, increasing in odd numbers from front to back, a total of four, shaped like a sharp cone. The soldiers on both sides of the exterior hold white-pole guns, the main responsibility is to protect the wings, maintain the formation, among which the soldiers will carry shields and crossbows while holding guns, and the front row of robes will fall, and immediately supplement and follow-up, and those who are at the tip of the cone formation are all warriors who have passed strict screening and are one in a hundred.

When he fought against Luo Shangwen and others before, Xu Hui thought that such officers and soldiers were well-trained, but when he really fought with these world-famous stone soldiers, he really realized what it meant to be an elite.

At the beginning of the war, he repeated his old tricks and ordered the artillery to be fired. According to the previous experience, if the thieves like the stick thieves heard this loud noise that pierced the sky, their morale was on the verge of collapse, and even if the better officers and soldiers could suppress the formation, they would inevitably be a little shaken, which was like these stone soldiers, one by one, they were like clay sculptures, not moving at all, and the whole army did not fluctuate, and they were still in formation, so that all the soldiers of Zhao Ying thought that they were all deaf and dumb.

The dismount did not work, Guo Hu rushed down the mountain with the left division, and Hao Shaoqi's right division responded halfway up the mountain. The river is narrow, there is no formation to spread, and it can only be divided into small units to fight, but in this way, it is just the spleen and stomach of the stone soldiers. They have been training hard for many years, and the best thing is the mountain melee, Guo Hutou, who is the blade of the front battalion of the Zhao camp, rushed twice in a row, and the opponent's front line did not move at all.

Hand-to-hand combat was frustrated, and Hao Shaoqi shot downward with archers and gunners in the rear organization division. But the distance is too far and the accuracy is insufficient; Second, the opponent fights with flags, and the targets are scattered; Thirdly, all the stone soldiers have thick armor protection. A few rows of guns and a few rounds of arrows were released, but with little effect.

The flag was swaying in the front formation, the trumpet sounded, and Ye Heng looked at it from afar and said: "Uncle Shi, the thief is not good, and he is not my son's opponent." His master and Qin Liangyu call each other brothers, and he has been used to calling him "uncle" since he was a child.

Qin Liangyu was noncommittal, and pointed out from afar: "Look, the soap flag on the right side has been halved, and it seems that the thieves are not dead." As he spoke, the military intelligence was found, and it was really another group of enemy soldiers from the path on the mountain, who wanted to intercept the stone soldiers, but they were entangled by the monks.

Ye Heng was a little surprised: "The disciple has been in Sichuan for many years, but he has never seen such a war-resistant thief. "Shi Yan monks and soldiers rarely go out to fight, but they have also fought with several streams of thieves, such as Zhao Ying, who has excellent armor and high morale, is really unheard of and unseen.

Qin Liangyu bowed slightly: "Yes, but in a few years, just a few thieves, they already have such combat power, not to mention others, even the official army in Gyeonggi, Central Plains and other places, how many can do this?" If you hadn't fought in person, you wouldn't have known that the world was already in danger. ”

Since he was a child, coupled with the face-to-face encouragement of Emperor Chongzhen, Qin Liangyu's feelings for the Ming Dynasty are by no means comparable to those Ming generals who are clear in words and deeds, and inconsistent in appearance. Even when her husband was framed and the court decided an unjust case, she did not complain. Having fought for most of her life, she knows the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in various places. The strength of this Zhao battalion soldiers and horses has exceeded that of most of the corrupt and corrupt official troops, although it cannot be compared with some real elite soldiers of the official army, but you must know that this Zhao battalion was still a little-known little Kou not long ago, and it is still so difficult to control, you can imagine how terrible it is to cross the provinces for many years.

She had no objection to the fact that the state had always taken the operation of the Guanwai as the first priority, but at the moment, she believed that it was necessary to put the suppression of the Liukou in the same position before defending against the northern captives. Internal and unstable, how to resist external insults? Rogue is no longer a small sore and a small disease of the past, and continuing to ignore it will inevitably cause disastrous consequences.

After only a short moment of distraction, there were sudden cheers from the other side, and Ye Hengguan said: "The thieves can't resist it, and they have returned to the stockade, why don't you take advantage of the situation to cover the attack?" ”

Qin Liangyu shook his head: "Don't worry, the passages on all sides are cut off by me, this thief has no way to go to the sky and no door to enter the earth, and it is easy to destroy it, so I am not in a hurry." Let the soldiers rest first, make sufficient preparations, and attack again before noon. After speaking, he took his sword and returned to his seat.

As she said, Xu Hui is indeed a little out of step now. Shi Yan was strong, he had been prepared, but Qin Liangyu's swiftness and spiciness's actions still exceeded his expectations. As a good general, at the beginning, his plan was to first base the stockade, let the stone soldiers attack, eliminate their sharpness, and then try to move later. How do you know that Qin Liangyu is accustomed to fighting, he can see his thoughts at a glance, and use some soldiers and horses to feint on the cottage, which attracted attention, and then sent the remaining soldiers to build fortifications on several paths. When Xu Hui reacted, it was already difficult to snatch the path again, and he had to attack and defend, and the initiative was all in the hands of the other party.

Under the strict defense of the stone soldiers, a bird flew out of the mountain and was about to be shot down, Xu Hui wanted to send troops to Zhao Dangshi to ask for help, and he resisted several offensives halfway, but the situation in the village was getting worse. Regardless of the lack of grain and grass left, there are more injuries and illnesses in the village, the pressure has increased sharply, and morale has begun to degenerate.

The army that is guarding is most afraid of losing contact with foreign aid, and Qin Liangyu obviously knows this well. Xu Hui couldn't talk to Zhao Dangshi, and he had already consciously lost three points in his heart, after analyzing the offensive and defensive situation of the two sides in the past two days, and Guo Hutou, Hao Shaoqi, Liu Weiming, and Wu Mingfeng, who came here to investigate not long ago, but was forced by Shi Yanbing to go up the mountain to dodge, after discussing with the four generals, he finally decided: break through!

He knew that it would be extremely difficult to break through, but after weighing the pros and cons, if he was trapped, two thousand soldiers and horses would inevitably be left with no flesh and skin, as long as he could break out half of the men and horses, it would be good.

Under the guidance of this idea, he organized and mobilized the soldiers of the whole village to know the benefits and disadvantages. He has always been silent and rarely spoken, but he actually made an impassioned statement. The soldiers of the Zhao battalion of the department took advantage of the dawn to suddenly launch a breakthrough, and this issue can break through the barrier in one fell swoop.

Even he had no idea, Guo Hutou and the others were even more helpless, just like Qin Liangyu only realized Zhao Ying's tenacity after the fight, and they only then felt that the strength of Shi Yan's soldiers was indeed not chasing after the wind.

The sun does not move, the stone soldiers began to move stupidly, Xu Hui looked at the gate of the village, under the sun, under the hillside of the spear and sword, countless stone soldiers gathered like a sea of stars, from the small river around half a circle, all bustling figures. The sound of drums, trumpets, and even shouts and scolding overlapped and intertwined, and the military was very loud.

"Mr. Qian, it seems that the officers and soldiers want to play really." On his side, Guo Hutou smiled bitterly.

Hao Shaoqi glared and raised his eyebrows, his face was full of wrinkles, and he stepped forward and said, "It's better to pick some more capable brothers and disturb him on a detour." ”

Xu Hununu pouted and refused: "It's useless." Before, we were caught up in the group of bald donkeys when we went down the mountain unexpectedly, but now they are prepared, and it is in vain to go. Shaking his head, he was helpless, "For the sake of today's plan, I can only stick to the village, and delay it for a while." ”

Guo Hutou sighed and said, "But I don't know what happened to the commander there." ”

Zhao Dangshi will come. Now the only thing that supports their belief that they can continue to hold on is these five short words.

At the foot of the mountain, the stone soldiers were methodically making the final preparations before the battle, but on Qin Liangyu's side, an urgent report came unexpectedly.

It is reported that a group of soldiers and horses came from nowhere, and has now reached the distance between Zhongxiao and Jintong, and correspondingly, it seems that there is another army of unknown origin moving in the direction of Qiyao Mountain. The exact number of troops still needs to be explored.

Shi Zhouwei slapped a big place, an uninvited soldier, a Zhao thief, and a Qin Jinxiao. Qin Liangyu and Ye Heng are both insightful.

Even if he could guess the identity of the other party, Ye Heng was still confused, and said strangely: "Isn't the thief still in the Northeast?" How did you get here in a blink of an eye? ”

Qin Liangyu knew that something must have gone wrong with Rong Mei's side, so he exhaled and didn't say much, only said indifferently: "Mingjin, let the soldiers withdraw and retreat first." "As a battlefield veteran, what you want is to be able to advance and retreat regardless of the gains and losses of a city and a pool. Zhao Ying's origin is strange, but it is not the time to explore the internal causes. Zhongxiao, Jintong and Qiyao Mountain are all north of Tangya, if you insist on attacking the mountain, not only will the retreat route be cut off, but the abdomen and back will also be seriously endangered. Putting the troops in danger was not the general's doing, so she didn't care about anything else and decided to retreat.

It is better to change the situation on the spot, and it is easy to think about it and expose flaws when it changes in a hurry. Ye Heng is familiar with the book of war, and he knows Qin Liangyu's intentions, and Zhao Thief has the opportunity to clean up, and he is not greedy for this moment.

In the blink of an eye, the bell rang out in unison under the Tang Ya chief's lawsuit, and the offensive of the stone soldiers came to an abrupt end, divided into several parts, and retreated one after another.

Guo Hutou, Hao Shaoqi, Liu Weiming and others were overjoyed and shouted: "Mr. Qian, Mrs. Qin has retreated, Mrs. Qin has retreated!" ”

Xu Hui increased his forehead with his hand, and suddenly felt light, Wu Mingfeng said at this time: "President Qian, although the officials and soldiers are gone, we must not relax, or occupy the fortifications of those few paths first." ”

"Reasonable." Xu Hui looked at Wu Mingfeng and was slightly surprised. This guy is new to Zhao Ying, although he has the title of general and has some ideas, but everyone knows that he is not trusted by Zhao Dangshi, and no one takes him seriously. Attacking and defending back and forth this morning, he was also silent and unpredictable. Xu Hui had secretly instructed Guo Hutou in private, asking him to look at this person, to find the slightest misdemeanor, and to cut it first and then play.

And everyone was happy and impetuous, but he was able to calm down and remind the main points, did he really make up his mind to follow Zhao Ying?

Xu Hui thought for a moment, and couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so he put his doubts aside. In any case, Wu Mingfeng's suggestion is very in place, taking advantage of the time when the stone soldiers are leaving, he will rob the fortifications first, regardless of whether he is an enemy or a friend, it can greatly improve the safety factor.

The soldiers of Zhao Ying in the village quickly took over the defense of Tang Ya's chief lawsuit, and when Xu Hui was properly deployed, it was almost dusk. At this time, the soldiers and horses had already fled far away and disappeared. The noisy Tang Ya chief lawsuit returned to calm.

Xu Hui and the generals stood high and looked into the distance, under the sunset, the smoke and dust rose suddenly, and they took the lead, holding a long flag. Then countless soldiers and horses followed, the clouds were like fire, and the sky was full of red light, Xu Hui looked at the familiar flag, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
