Chapter 68: The Xijon Raid
"You will fight after the war, and now your task is to train the troops, so don't go to the battlefield when the time comes." Guo Qi said with a smile.
"Don't worry, my lord, our Chencang Mansion soldiers are definitely not bad breeds." Wu Dayong said loudly.
Chencang Pass is not far from Yu County, only less than fifty miles, Guo Qi arrived at Chen Cangguan two hours after arriving at Chen Cang Pass, Sun Guoqing took a few people to Chencang Pass, and reported to Guo Qi the situation of the entire Yongnan; Over the next two days, Guo Qi, accompanied by Sun Guoqing, inspected Sanguan and surveyed the terrain along the Wei River to the west.
"National Day, in the spring of next year, the Xirong army is likely to advance eastward, Xirong is likely to advance eastward along the Weishui, Chencang Pass is the first priority, no matter how much the price is paid, this king will not send you an additional soldier during this period, even if the troops of the four provinces under your command are exhausted, you can't let the Xirong army step into Chencang Pass half a step, can you do it?" Guo Qi asked Sun Guoqing with a serious face.
"Please rest assured, the last general will defend to the death." Sun Guoqing received the order.
"There are still a few months left until the beginning of spring next year, and you have time to prepare." Guo Qi said to Sun Guoqing: "The terrain west of Chencang Pass, you and this king have seen it, the mountains on both sides of the Weishui River Valley are dangerous, in order to be able to detect the Xirong army early, it is necessary to build beacon towers on some mountains to achieve the effect of early warning......
"No! The lord was relieved, and the humiliation was immediately arranged. ”
"Not only to the west of Chencang Pass, but also to the north of the place." Guo Qi pointed to the map and said: "These beacon towers built will eventually go directly to Yongcheng......
"The lord is wise, and the beacon warning is much faster than the fast horse to transmit military information......"
"You are responsible for the specific construction matters, and you can ask Song Yiming for what you need."
Just when Guo Qi and Sun Guoqing were discussing the defense line of Chencang Pass, a fast horse galloped north of Chencang Pass, and shouted loudly while running: "Emergency military situation, urgent military situation......
Wu Dayong, who was patrolling the city wall, quickly walked down the city gate when he saw the comer, stopped the messenger who was delivering the letter, and said, "Brother, something happened." ”
The herald was covered in dirt, and said breathlessly: "My lord, take me to see the lord quickly, the Xirong army has reached Huangyang Pass, please send troops to rescue the lord as soon as possible." ”
"Ahh Wu Dayong was shocked: "Brother, you come with me." ”
After meeting Guo Qi, the herald made a detailed report to Guo Qi on the situation at Huangyang Pass.
"You mean, the Xijon army suddenly killed the city?" Guo Qi asked with a dark face; "Didn't Hu Qiong send a horse to explore?"
"My lord, Huangyang Pass is in a hurry, and we didn't expect the Xirong army to suddenly kill, so ......," the herald said worriedly.
"How many men are there in the Xijon army? Who's leading the way? ”
"Now there are more than 1,500 horsemen outside the city, I don't know if there will be a large number of men and horses in the follow-up, and the leading generals don't know who it is, but the enemy is fighting the banner of the ambush department."
"Is it because you haven't been masturbating until now?" Guo Qi frowned and muttered to himself.
"My lord, now that the military situation is urgent, the last general is willing to send the soldiers of the Shuai Yifu to the north for reinforcements." Sun Guoqing pleaded.
"On the National Day, you have to stay behind to guard Chencang, now that the enemy situation is unknown, no one dares to guarantee that the Xirong army will not advance eastward along Weishui." Guo Qi said: "In this way, you will transfer all the soldiers stationed in Yu County, and this king will take the soldiers of Chen Cang and the army to the north for reinforcements." ”
"No! The last general (lowly post) received the order......" Sun Guoqing and Wu Dayong took the order.
"Five sons, immediately send flying cavalry to Yongcheng with the king's to transfer troops, and transfer all the Sanfuya military guards and hussar guards in Yongcheng to Huangyang Pass."
"No! and they will send them. ”
When Guo Qi arranged the transfer of troops, a bloody battle was raging at Huangyang Pass; Hu Qiong was leading the Liangfuya army guards to fight with the Xirong cavalry on the wall of Wangyang Pass, which had not yet been built, and the Xirong cavalry did not attack the city, but rode around and shot the defenders with arrows.
"Drive, drive, drive...... Whoosh......"
A sharp arrow came out of the bow that had not been raised, and flew towards the city of Huangyang Pass with the vengeful anger that had not been lifted.
"Poof!" One of the defenders was taken out after being shot by an arrow, falling directly off the city wall and dying.
"Great Chief, the sun is about to set, you see?" An adjutant general asked as he rode up on his horse and ran in front of him.
He looked at the sunset in the distance, and ordered: "Order, all the warriors retreat thirty miles and set up camp." ”
"No! The last general commanded......"
When the army withdrew, Wangyang Guan, who had not been looking ahead, said angrily: "Tomorrow I will definitely break through Guancheng and slaughter all the Qi people in the city to avenge my son." ”
Time rewinds us to this morning, to the end of the Fu Bu led to the Fu Department of 1,500 fine cavalry from the west, along the way there are talking and laughing, this time to go to Xirong Khan City to participate in the Mulan Festival harvest is still very large, determined that next year's attack on the Great Qi Pass, the three thousand fine cavalry of the Fu Department into the forward army.
In the eyes of the Fu Bu, the Qi people are a group of lambs to be slaughtered, as long as the Xirong army arrives, the Qi army will be defeated and flee; Although there will be slight losses when fighting against the Qi army in the vanguard army, it can be the first to loot the cities of Great Qi, and the gains will naturally be much more than the losses.
Just as he was leading a large group of men and horses on a slow march, a fast horse galloped from a distance.
The horsemen on the horse shouted loudly: "Big chief, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good, big chief......"
"What's wrong, you're going to say it!" He asked anxiously.
"Great Chief, you better go and have a look!"
"Driving, driving, driving......"
Under the leadership of the comer, he soon arrived at the place; But he was dumbfounded by the scene in front of him; In front of the eyes that have not been lifted so far is the former Huangyuan City, but at this time the Huangyuan City has become a white land, in this white land is full of people to make a view of Beijing, each view of Beijing is more than one meter high, there are hundreds of large and small.
And in the middle of these Beijing temples there is also a very thick wooden pole, on the wooden pole hung a banner of the Qi army, at the same time there are several heads next to the flag, after the heads are taken off, so far I don't look at it to see that they are all their own sons, among which there is a little grandson's head.
Of course, these are Guo Qi's masterpieces, when he evacuated Huangyuan City, Guo Qi not only moved the entire city, but also killed all the people except the captured young women, and cut off their heads, in order to show off his strength and deter Xirong; On the flagpole, Guo Qi also ordered people to leave eight words: "Those who commit great Qi will look at it like this", but these eight words were covered by the wind and snow.
I am going crazy when I see this scene, not only that I am not spending, but the 1,500 elite riders in the subordination department are crazy; So after burying all his clansmen, he still took 1,500 elite horsemen to the east to kill, until he reached the foot of Huangyang Pass, and the battle broke out.
