The sky was dark, the stars were faint, and on the horse farm of the Qin State Mansion, hundreds of cavalry lined up in a phalanx. As time passed, the number of Beizhou cavalry who came to the alliance gradually increased. Before the newly arrived cavalry joined the queue, they would say hello to the two princes of Qin and Zhao.

Zhao Guogong Yu Fu Jian said with a smile: "If our team is broken, the boys of the Prime Minister's Mansion will die of laughter." ”

In this small cavalry team, there are two founding princes, one founding marquis, four Yaqing, seven doctors, eleven doctors, nine marquis, nine chiefs, more than 300 officials, and more than 500 officials. Many generals have long been self-reliant and have titles, but out of the origin of their ancestors, they still serve the Duke of Qin Zhao and the Marquis of Zhenbei as their leaders. If this cavalry was eaten by horse thieves, it would definitely be the battle with the most casualties and knighthoods in the history of the Xia Kingdom. The Prime Minister's Mansion was able to save a lot of money on Juelu's expenses.

"Where is it so cheap," Pu Ying laughed, "everyone has already stayed." Several people around him laughed. There are hereditary titles in the family, most of them have left their sons, and even have children who serve in the Tiger Wing Army. Duzhi Cao's Juelu can't be saved. As he spoke, Pu Ying counted the number of cavalry, a total of 1,437 cavalry. These cavalrymen brought two or even three more mounts.

Xin Yin asked, "Have you brought all the carrier pigeons?" The family will be "brought". Xin Yin nodded and ordered to go. In addition to the war vest in the world, the carrier pigeons selected by Xin Yin are also a must. Because of this, Xin Yin was sure to inform the military government of the location of the horse thief in time and anywhere.

The east has just revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and the rising sun is still below the horizon, and it has not had time to show its ten thousand rays of light. The practice of the Anbei Army is that there is no need to see off family members when going to war. Even the dependents of the Duke of Qin's Mansion could only stand behind the pavilion window, quietly watching the more than a thousand cavalry slowly disappear beyond the horizon.

Bo Shenghuo became very troubled. After the first few washes, it didn't go well. The pastures, which were once filled with people and livestock, became empty. There were traces of hastily slaughtered livestock everywhere, and the Xia people brought everything they could take into Cangcheng, and the rest was usually burned. Even the people who didn't have time to evacuate resisted stubbornly with the help of the car battalion. This kind of situation has never been read in a book. As recorded in the history books, the cavalry entered the hinterland of the Central Plains and drove the people like a flock of sheep, which almost never appeared in Beizhou. Even if the Murb were to take the attack, they would have to pay a lot of casualties, and they usually gained very little, because the Xia people would destroy most of their supplies in the end. Even if there is a left, it is likely that it has been poisoned.

"They are not from the Central Plains at all," Bo Shenghuo said through gritted teeth, "they are people from the grassland." "Those who are equally good at bows and arrows and horseback riding. Those who resist to the end, kill the women first, and then fight the Mlbs. Those who poison their food, eat it as if nothing is right, and give it to their children, and then to the Murbs. These Beizhou people are not Central Plains people at all. Rather, like the Murbs, they survived in the most brutal grasslands of Mobei.

The cavalry of the Xia Kingdom that has appeared recently is not as easy to deal with as before. They were always far behind the army of the Mlb, and did not hide their heads and tails like the usual scouts, but showed their bodies very arrogantly, and when the Mlbs camped in the valley, they stood on the top of the mountain and looked down. Patient as a wolf trailing a flock. Every time Bo Shenghuo divided his troops to drive away these tarsal maggots, he couldn't always catch up with these damn cavalry, their horses were better, more suitable for the climate here, and the cavalry was more familiar with the terrain here. At one point, hundreds of Murb cavalry were gradually led away from the brigade, only to have not returned a single horseman.

"It's time for us to get out of the army." Bo Shenghuo finally decided, "Go south, there are only 5,000 cavalry in Hengzhai Fort, and they can't stop us." ”

"Finally got here, and just retreated?" Qiu Tianrui said hoarsely. He had a weathered face, a leather jacket, and a scimitar pinned to his waist. This trip to the army, although he personally killed many Xia people, but it was far from enough.

"I have a premonition of danger," Bo Sheng tapped his head as he said in a deep voice, "If we don't leave, the Immortal Heaven will punish us." He picked up a cup of tea and drank it to his stomach. Since being embellished by the Xia cavalry, Bo Sheng simply canceled the military order prohibiting fires during the day. Although there are not many things to grab, there is always enough tea on the road.

"Only by obeying the will of the Immortal Heaven can we win!" Bo Shenghuo looked at Qiu Tianrui with some pity. "This man is completely blinded by hatred, may the Immortal Heaven save his soul." He chewed tea leaves in his mouth and thought about the route to retreat. That scout cavalry was undoubtedly waiting for an army of the Xia Kingdom. If this army really existed, the cavalry of the Mlb would have to move in time to move all the way south and throw him away. If the scout still follows behind without knowing how to do it, it can teach them a lesson. Harassing the hinterland of the Anbei Military Division is only the first step in Bo Shenghuo's plan.

Qiu Tianrui stared at Bo Shenghuo viciously, eager to pull out his waist knife and stab this barbarian.

Zhao Xingde looked at the city with a stern face, and on the high flagpole, the head of Lu Kui, a veteran of the Han army, was hung. In the field of vision of the clairvoyant mirror, the old general's beard was pale and with a little blood, but his eyes were wide open, and he must have been fighting before he died. Under the flagpole, the captured Han soldiers were escorted to kneel on the ground in rows, and more than a dozen people shouted threats and persuasion to surrender to the city. I don't know what method the Liao army used to conquer Tieshan Fort. The Han army at the head of the city who witnessed this scene, some were stunned, some had solemn faces, and some showed fear. The entire Liaodong Peninsula, Nanshan City, has become an isolated city.

It seems that he intends to show off the results of the battle, and it seems that he wants to let the people at the head of the city hear clearly, and it is rare for the Liao army's artillery fortress to stop the shelling. The siege, which had been going on for days, was also suspended. The Liao army found someone out of nowhere to make an article to persuade him to surrender, and dozens of people chanted loudly together under the city, buzzing like flies, which made Zhao Xingde a little irritable in his grief and anger.

"Fetch a white cloth!" He shouted in a deep voice.

Tong Yunjie's heart sank, no matter ancient or modern, white cloth is usually used for surrender. With Zhao De's person, how can he do such a thing. And Jian Cheng, Ma Rui, Liu Zhijian and other generals also felt slightly strange in their hearts. It didn't take long for the soldiers to bring up a large white cloth, and Zhao Xingde spread it on the table and wrote a big word "war" on it with a red pen. Because the font is very large, the strokes appear extremely slender, and the font is still a little choppy. After writing, Zhao Xingde frowned, bit his index finger, and splashed a few drops of blood, just above the beginning of the word "war", infected with red flowers.

"General Zhao!" Du Blowhorn said urgently.

"It's okay!" Zhao Xingde waved his hand and said, "Old General Lu Jiuquan has knowledge, although we can't avenge him immediately, as long as we are here, we will fight with the Liao thieves to the end!" He leaned to the side and said in a deep voice, "If you have a heart, come and pay tribute." ”

"I'm coming!"

A surge of heat surged, Tong Yunjie immediately pushed everyone away, cut his fingers with a knife, and dropped a few drops on the battle word. Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhijian, Jian Cheng, Du Fujiao and other generals stepped forward one after another, and later, the centurion, the ten-year, and even the ordinary soldiers were deeply moved, and walked to the white cloth one by one, one by one, and swore blood that they would fight with the Liao army to the end.

At the head of Nanshan City, the blood-drenched banner of the word "war" is constantly waving in the north wind. The Han army defending the city was grief and indignation, and their morale was greatly boosted, and when the Liao army saw it, they were angry. Those who persuaded the city to surrender looked at each other, and Nian Bai was also weak, and he was called back not long after. A moment later, the artillery of the Liao army roared again, and a group of foot soldiers pushed shield carts and carried cloud ladders to form a formation, and the battlefield was full of smoke burning everywhere, and those Han soldiers who were captured after the fall of Tieshan Fort were forced to carry soil bags and walk in front of the Liao army's foot soldiers.

In the infantry team of the Liao army attacking the city, there were more than 100 water dragon carts hidden. The head of the craftsman battalion, Ge Lu, was on the battlefield for the first time, walking beside the water dragon cart, hearing the roar of artillery fire and the screams of the dead and wounded, he beat a drum in his heart, and looked at the head of Nanshan City with anxiety. The Nanshan city wall is more than three zhang high, and the enemy platform is higher, and the water column sprayed by the water dragon car of the Liao army can barely cross the city wall, but in this way, the water dragon car must be pushed to within thirty steps of the city wall. This is completely shrouded in the artillery fire of Nanshan Castle.

Gru almost turned green when he heard the foot soldiers talk about the intensity of the rain of bullets in the city. He hadn't thought about it so much, and when it came to the end, it would be easy to increase the range of the water dragon. The main body of the water hook car is wooden, and the water tank, handle, piston and other important components have little room for change. The craftsmen are still those people, and they have only increased the range a little bit with great effort. In the end, Gru had to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and the fox pretended to be a tiger, showing the sign of Lord Tutong, and let the infantry push the shield cart on both sides of the water dragon cart to deal with the shotgun that came over. There is also a large group of infantry soldiers carrying water bladders on their backs to refill the water tank. Even so, he could only dare to launch the water dragon after the city was completely filled with smoke and dust. Otherwise, the Han army in the city switched to round iron solid bullets, not to mention thirty steps, and three hundred steps away could easily destroy this water dragon car.

The officers of the infantry army are also not fuel-efficient lamps. It is said that because the water hook car is very easy to break, when operating, the craftsman needs to be watched by the side, and repaired as it breaks. Xiao Tachi turned out to be accurate. As a result, the craftsmen who did not have to go into battle were forced to follow the infantry army to within thirty steps of the city wall. In the past few days, the eighteenth generation of Geru's ancestors have been greeted over and over again by the craftsmen.
