In the tenth year of the great cause, on July 20, the emperor of Sui Emperor Yang Guang's son of heaven drove to Huaiyuan Town, Liaodong.

On the tenth day of the eighth month, the two armies fought, the Sui army suffered heavy casualties, and Goryeo was also exhausted, so he wrote a letter to ask for peace.

On August 15, the sky showed a solar eclipse, and the day was like night, and the three armies were shocked suddenly, and Yang Guang had no choice but to return to the court.

Passing through Handan, it was plundered by the thief Yang Gongqing, and the eighth team of chariots and horses lost forty royal horses.

On the eighth day of October, Yang Guang arrived in the eastern capital and issued an edict to quell the thieves.

Yang Yichen was ordered to clear Hebei, Zhang Xutuo to clear Henan and Shandong, Li Yuan to clear Guanzhong, and Wang Shichong to clear Jiangnan, and set up four major envoys, each responsible for counterinsurgency in one place.

In the eleventh year of the Great Cause, in March, Li Mi brought Wang Bodang, Fang Yanzao, Chai Xiaohe, Zu Junyan, Zheng Ting, Li Wenxiang, Zhang Sheng, Zhao Junde, Hao Xiaode, Chen Zhiluo, Zhang Shanxiang and other twelve generals to join the Wagang Army, capture Xingyang, and obtain a large amount of grain and grass, which made the Wagang Army mighty and became the most powerful rebel army in the world.

Wei County, Hebei Province, Fu caliber, stretching for 30 miles at the Fushui River.

Narrow fields have been reclaimed, and in the spring, the cultivators of various families have gone down to the fields and toiled hard.

Immediately next to the pass, there is a guard post in front of it, and archers are set up on it, and whenever there is an entry or exit, the guards below will be notified.

Standing on the gate, you can see the fields below at this time, divided into blocks of different sizes, and the scenery of a paradise is refreshing.

However, the next moment the situation suddenly changed, and a standard of people and horses rushed to meet outside the valley, and the spirit of Jin Ge Iron Horse suddenly broke this leisurely picture.

When they arrived at the gate, the dozens of knights dismounted, and they all rode on the best horses, wearing iron armor, straddle long knives, and carry iron bows, and at this time they were lined up outside the antlers, and they were very fierce.

Not to mention the horseman's combat power on horseback, these horses and armor alone are already priceless.

In troubled times, cavalry represents strong strength and can determine the outcome of a battle.

Looking closely, I saw that the horses were in good order with each other, and the continuous distance was almost the same, which had the flavor of secretly matching the purpose of the art of war.

But if the strange knights were here, there would have been a warning arrow on the close, how could they stop?

Therefore, the gate of the previously heavily guarded pass creaked open.

"Go home!" First, a big man dismounted, and the rest of the people followed, and the fish rushed in.

"According to the days of departure, Wang Boren and they should be back soon. Just wait a few more days, and you will surely be able to determine the situation in the counties of Wei County. In the closed hall, Gao Si convened the generals to discuss the matter, and now he has become a man with a long face and a short beard, a typical martial artist's appearance, quite majestic in appearance, and a kind of convincing bearing.

He was dressed in armor, the polished texture was of high quality, and he wore a seven-star sword, with the momentum of a superior person, and where he sits, the stars are holding the moon.

Looking at the direction of Yecheng, he was calm on the surface, and he was impatient to say these words in his heart.

When the generals heard this, the others looked in the direction of Yecheng, but none of them were gearing up.

Everyone in the hall was boiling.

After opening the map again and discussing it for a while, Gao Si got up and walked to the window, pressed his sword and looked into the distance, looking at the movement of Taniguchi in the distance, and did not pay attention to the chaotic situation under the hall.

At this moment, after a while, two young men hurriedly ran in, with a respectful attitude, clasped their fists and saluted, and hurriedly said: "General, Wang Baichang has brought people back, the military situation has been surveyed, and there is no loss on the way." ”

"That's fine, Peng Shishi, you go down and lock him up, what is the situation in the outside world, you have to make a decision." Gao Si said excitedly.

"No." Peng Shi quickly turned around and ran towards the pass.

After a year and a half of accumulation, Fu Caliber has gathered 7,000 military horses, and gradually reorganized the past weather.

After the Battle of Maocheng, Yu Shinan heard it and felt very guilty.

Later, seeing that Yang Guang had no way, he contacted the three Mai brothers, and took Peng Shi and Jia Yuandu, two young generals, to the north, and finally met here after several twists and turns.

In the second wave, Xu Xiaohui and Yang Min were escorted by Wei Jue to meet with Wei Qi, and Li Baiyao, He Huailiang, Zheng Yan and others followed.

In the third wave, Han Shi'e, who escaped after being arrested, and Wei Chigong and Liuzhuang from Liuluo Township were also found and led here.

Cui Luo is really good at dancing with long sleeves, and at the most difficult moment, he said that the Xue brothers were moved, and they borrowed food to stabilize people's hearts, and since then they have taken root in the caliber.

A group of people were also busy, and Cui Luo, who joined the army, commanded a few of his subordinates to vacate the courtyard and clean it up for everyone to discuss and make a final decision.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, these courtyards were pointed out by the master Gao Si and specially cleaned for the oath.

Today, however, the furnishings have suddenly been changed again, and they want to look more solemn.

It can be seen that Gao Si attaches great importance to this new decision to go out of the mountain, and the decision to send troops is not only to gather soldiers under the Fukou Pass, but also to free up half of the Xiongguan Pass to unify the generals' strategies.

The top and bottom are all eager to win, so even Cui Luo, who joined the army, was specially invited to preside over the matter.

Everyone in the caliber knows that Cui Luo is the brainchild of the handsome, and he is in charge of the big things, which is enough to show the importance that the handsome attaches to the mountain.

After coming back, on the road, along the way is already three steps and a sentry, five steps and a post, a little farther away, is the barracks in the valley, there are three large battalions, all of them are personnel gathered, the armor is forested, and there is a green dragon tooth flag.

Peng Shi led the way, and several soldiers surrounded Wang Boren to return, and when they saw Gao Si, they hurriedly rushed up to salute.

At this time, Wang Boren suddenly clenched his fists and said loudly: "Lord." ”

At this time, he was still wearing armor all over his body, with a knife hanging from his waist, and when he saluted, the scabbards collided and clanked, naturally bringing a trace of military spirit.

Gao Si stared for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me how the defense of the Wei County officials and troops is." ”

Wang Boren was very proud, his eyes lit up, and he said sonorously: "All parts of Wei County are completely uncontrolled, there are countless homeless bandits, and the eleven counties under its jurisdiction have their own side, so it is a good time for us to go out of the mountain." ”

Gao Si smiled: "In that case, how do you think you should enter the army?" ”

This way of employing soldiers, the changes in reality and reality, the number of people, the degree of training of soldiers, including the amount of baggage, should all be taken into account.

Since he was ordered to investigate the military situation, Wang Boren has been thinking about it, and at this moment, he did not hide it, and immediately put all his thoughts together.

"Naturally, it is a direct attack on Xiangzhou." Wang Boren couldn't hold back his thoughts and said first.

Gao Si couldn't deny it, and continued: "Yes, Xiangzhou is the current capital of Wei County, densely populated, if we can conquer this place, it will be very beneficial to the development of our army." ”

"Does anyone else have objections?"

Han Shi'e seemed to have sensed Gao Si's disapproval in his heart, and immediately put forward a different opinion and said, "I don't agree." Lord, today our army is from the mountains, and we must win the first battle and make a name for ourselves first. As he spoke, he bowed his hand slightly, pointed to the map and said: "Our army should first move into Yecheng, show the banner, absorb the displaced people, first attack the surrounding counties, and finally attack Xiangzhou."

This is the first easy and then the difficult, and the weak defeat the strong! ”

Standing in the lobby, Han Shi'e's figure was slightly thin, and after being a prisoner, he began to abandon the simple martial arts and tactics, and gradually took into account the strategy.

However, Wang Boren is not a person who easily admits defeat, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered: "Yecheng is just a ruin now, what is the use of it?" ”

"Correct the name, and raise troops in the name of reviving Gaoqi." Han Shi'e came to Gao Si and said respectfully.

In ancient times, warfare focused on the reputation of the teacher, which was the humane rule of that era, and once the name was determined, even if it was only a place of size, it would be crowded.

Gao Si was accustomed to Han Shi'e's change of attitude, nodded at him, and said, "It's with me." How's next? ”

"Our army can first base Yecheng, and then fight Daimyo, Cixian, Shexian, Wu'an, Feixiang, Weixian, Qiuxian, Cheng'an, Guangping, and Guantao. In the end, if you attack Xiangzhou again, you will definitely be able to go down with one drum.

Yecheng and Xiangzhou are very tight, occupy Yecheng can see Xiangzhou, and then calmly march into the army, then Wei County will inevitably be owned by the lord in less than two months. ”

The distance between Fu and Yecheng was only fifty miles, and the distance of the march was only one and a half days, but even so, Gao Si still dispatched a team of 200 cavalry to go first.

The iron cavalry embraced the fierce generals, galloped on the horses, and Wang Boren took the lead.

For the cavalry, it was only an hour to get to Yecheng.

The infantry of the brigade was drawn from the caliber of Fu in the rear, leaving a battalion of more than 1,000 men and horses to defend the city, and the ambition was high.

At this time, just after ten miles, a horse suddenly rushed back in front of him. This person is the third eldest Wang under Wang Boren.

Gao Si suddenly stepped forward from behind and asked urgently.

The third Wang hurriedly came to the front of the team and reported: "My lord, the situation has changed. ”

"Don't rush, speak slowly."

"The giant thief Zhang Jin said that he also led people south to Yecheng, less than thirty miles away, and the outpost has already engaged in battle."

"That being the case, the whole army is ready to march at once!"

"No!" Subsequently, a number of flags marked with high letters were fought in the ranks.

Zhang Jin is known as a horse in Shandong, who is good at gathering crowds to loot, and is brutal and abnormal. When there is a shortage of food rations, they take women and young children captive and feed on people.

He was previously endangered in Shandong, and after being defeated by Zhang Xutuo, he fled to Hebei. Along the way, carry Ding Zhuang, Lianke County.

A month ago, they attacked Handan, Wu'an, Julu and other counties, wantonly robbed, and were so unhappy. Who would have thought that he would come to Yecheng.

The army of Takabe advanced at great speed.

Originally, they planned to march at the usual pace, not wanting to encounter the thieves unexpectedly, so everyone had to cheer up their spirits, began to regroup their ranks, and accelerated the march again.

Gao Si led the team and galloped in formation.

At this time, there were no pedestrians on the road, so the speed of the journey was extremely fast, and it only took half a day to travel 30 miles.

Finally, that night, ten miles away from Yecheng City, he met Zhang Jincheng's team head-on.

Zhang Jin's team has also taken up its roots.

Gao Si rode on a horse, and Wang Boren saw that he led the cavalry to meet him.

Because of his courage and courage, he temporarily blocked Zhang Jincheng's soldiers.

Gao Si stepped forward and was observing the strength of the enemy's formation, when suddenly the accident reappeared.

"Woooooo The horn sounded, like a wolf's howl, only to see five hundred horsemen, embracing one of them, galloping at this time, there was a whirlwind swept to, indestructible.

Gao Si sighed in his heart, he also has cavalry under his command, but he can't learn this kind of wolf nature of running and shooting freely, this is the difference between the style of the Hu people and the Han cavalry!

"Zhang Jin said that you are a thief, and you dare to provoke Lao Tzu!" Gao Si scolded secretly, drew his sword and shouted.

"A good man who is not afraid of death, follow me!" The horse marched forward like a bolt of lightning violently hedged.

There was a flash of black light next to him, and Wei Chigong had already driven the black horse over, and the steel whip rose and fell, and the thieves fell off the horse one by one.

"Well done, I'll compare with you!" Wang Boren's blood boiled when he saw it, and he launched a surprise attack with the remaining more than 160 knights.

"Boom-" The two iron horses were entangled in one place, the dust and smoke were billowing out, and there was no victory or defeat for a short time. Soon, there was a river of blood on the ground, there were war horses, some people, and even horse blood mixed with human blood and flowed hundreds of steps, and some seeped into the ground with a fishy smell.

In the rear, Han Shi'e took the opportunity to rearm for battle.

The striker's hand-to-hand combat is just a prelude to the fight. Tomorrow, the outcome of the main showdown will be the key.
