Chapter 510: Who the Hell Are You?

Knowing that Fang Xie was coming back, Sun Kaidao and the generals were waiting at the gate of Fangu City, and when he saw Fang Jie's general flag appear from a distance, Sun Kaidao immediately led people to greet him. He knelt down on one knee and saluted, and the generals behind him immediately knelt down in unison.

"Congratulations to the generals on their victory and promotion to marquis."

Sun Kaidao said solemnly.

Fang Xie jumped down from the horse, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "Get up, the people who come back to report the news are also talkative, and they are the first to publicize it." This was put in advance, nothing happened at home these days, right? ”

"Nope"

Sun Kaidao said with a smile: "But as the general expected, the 10,000 wolf cavalry of Baihuo was stationed dozens of miles away a while ago, and it is estimated that we did not dare to attack directly because we saw that our soldiers were strong and strong." After all, they are all cavalry, and the city of Fan Gu is also strong, and on the other side of the canyon, Lu Fenghou led people to build two stone walls more than two zhang high, and the barbarians should not have expected that the back road had been blocked and did not dare to act rashly, waiting for Kuoketai Menglie to take the idea. The 200,000 wolf riders did not return for a day, and the cypress did not have the courage to start a war without permission. His 10,000 people are really not enough. ”

Fang Xie snorted: "Deliver more grain and grass to Qingxia, once the war starts, the soldiers guarding Qingxia will be attacked by the enemy, not for a while, if the imperial court reinforcements are not available, our battle will take a few days." Meng Ge will not be willing to leave more than 200,000 wolf horses in the northwest, no matter how strong Meng Yuan is, this is not a small number, and it hurts his muscles and bones. ”

Sun Kaidao nodded: "My subordinates have already transported a large number of grains and grass to Qingxia, and divided the troops into three batches, 10,000 people to defend Fangu, 15,000 people to guard the cottage, and the rest of the troops are on the Qingxia side." According to the general's orders, Chen moved the mountain to guard Fangu, Xiahou Baichuan and Lu Fenghou guarded Qingxia, and his subordinates led troops to respond in the cottage. ”

Fang Xie snorted, such an arrangement is decent, although the troops are slightly scattered, they are in a zigzag formation, each other is horns, back and forth, the people and horses on the cottage are mobile rescue teams, Fan Gu and Qingxia can immediately support no matter which side is tight, and harass the enemy from the rear.

"Very well, and the distribution of food to the people is especially good."

Fang Xie said as he walked: "But I want to tell the people that there will be a fierce battle in a few days, let them avoid it first after planting food, this land in the northwest depends on the sky for food, and if the grain is planted, they can only wait for God to rain and water, and they have nothing to do, so it's good to avoid it in advance, don't lose your life in vain." ”

"My subordinates have already sent people to tell the people when the food is being distributed."

Sun Kaidao glanced at the west and said: "The scouts have been scouting on the west side of the Wolf Milk Mountain, and Kuoketai Meng Ge does have the movement of troops to meet the movements of Meng Yuan's barbarians, and these days there are constantly Meng Yuan's rangers appearing on the Mandu Banner grassland, but they didn't expect us to block the canyon, and now our advantage is that the enemy troops on both sides don't know whether the other party has arrived, so they don't dare to attack easily." ”

Fang Xie nodded: "Take advantage of the rare leisure during this time, let the soldiers rest, enter the city, and I will go to the canyon to have a look later." ”

Everyone followed Fang Xie into the city, because the canyon side was the top priority of defense, so Fang Xie ordered to send all the feather arrows and armor brought back from the Sui army camp, and the battle to defend the city, the consumption of feather arrows was the heaviest. The emperor must have thought of this, so the allocation of heavy feather arrows accounted for most of them, enough 150,000.

After Fang Xie entered Fan Gu, he first inspected the city defenses, and it could be seen that Sun Kaidao was not idle during this time, and the defenses on the city wall were reinforced, and the key places were filled with sacks of earth high. The roofs of the houses of the people of the city were covered with a layer of mud to prevent the enemy from attacking with feathered arrows.

The density of the nail slap is staggering enough that this defensive weapon can easily slap the besieging soldiers to death, and it can be used many times until the nail shoot breaks. Fang Xie saw that there were large vats on the city wall at intervals, which were filled with fire oil, and if the enemy attacked fiercely, if the fire oil was poured down, any spark could burn into a piece. Although the northwest is barren, there are many places near the Wolf Milk Mountain that have this kind of oil and don't even need to dig it, walking on it is like walking on a sponge mat, and it is difficult to extricate yourself if you accidentally fall into it.

People of this era did not know much about kerosene, only that it could be burned. Fang Xie had sighed when Fan Gu was a scout, if this place had been prosperous in the previous life because of its rich oil production. The people of the northwest are not so poor, but so rich that they are oily.

Looking out from the city wall, the east side of Fan Gu is an open field without obstruction, which has an advantage for the wolf cavalry, and the cavalry will definitely not be able to stop it in an instant, so from the beginning Fang Xie did not plan to let the Black Flag Army and the wolf cavalry fight in the field, the advantage of the Sui army is that it has absolutely rich experience in defending the city, and the wolf cavalry is still a student for the siege.

Attacking the enemy's shortcomings with their own strengths, the Sui army was not afraid of anything.

Looking into the city, the place where the grain and grass were stored was the original Farewell General's Mansion, the courtyard wall had been heightened, and the roof was paved with soil, and it seemed that everything was ready.

The advantage of having a good subordinate is that basically everything is already arranged in your absence.

"My subordinates have people block the other gates."

When he said this, Sun Kaidao had a resolute look on his face.

He knew that this time was different from when he had to surrender to the rebels, at that time, if he didn't surrender, he would die, at this time, as long as he carried the attack of the Mengyuan barbarians, he would have a good future, and even the previous surrender of the rebels could be revealed, the most real thing he saw now was that the better he behaved, the more reluctant he was, and if the court tracked down the past in the future, Fang Xie would excuse him.

"Very good"

Fang Xie sighed, remembering what Hou Wenji said to him, he couldn't help but struggle in his heart. If he left for the prairie at this time, going back and forth for several months, he would definitely delay the battle. Moreover, Hou Wenji only said the approximate location of Prince Zhong, and it was not a matter of time to find it.

"That's right"

At this time, Sun Kaidao remembered something: "A while ago, Hou Ye's friend once came, a fat Taoist priest, who had only been out of the canyon for many days. ”

Fang Xie was immediately overjoyed: "Let the scout inquire about the news and see if we can find him!" ”

……

……

gorge

Fang Xie stood on the stone wall and looked down, and Lu Fenghou stood beside him and smirked.

"Well done"

Fang Xie smiled: "From now on, you are a veritable general of the fifth grade, Your Majesty has granted me this right, and I can be appointed and dismissed from official positions below the fourth grade." ”

"Thank you, Master Hou!"

Lu Fenghou smirked and bowed.

This is also a special case in wartime, according to the rules, even the general of the third rank does not have the right to arbitrarily appoint and dismiss officials from the fourth rank, Fang Xie is now only the fourth rank, and he does not have this qualification. The emperor knew that this battle was important, so he gave Fang Xie this privilege to boost morale.

"Xiahou Baichuan"

"Subordinate in"

"Before, you were already a fifth-rank general promoted by the prince, and now I have promoted you to a fourth-rank majestic general."

"Subordinate...... Xie Hou Ye promoted! ”

Xiahou Baichuan hurriedly knelt down.

"Get up, you all know in your hearts that there is no need to be too happy no matter how big an official is promoted now, after surviving this battle, it is worth being happy, and then Your Majesty will give you more than that. Those who serve the country only serve the country, and Your Majesty is the Holy Ming Monarch, and you will not bury your merits. In a peaceful and prosperous era, the country raises soldiers, and many people say that soldiers are useless, so we just have to laugh it off. But when the country is in turmoil, it is the time for our generation to draw the sword and cleanse it, so that those who say that the military is useless can also see who will keep them safe at the critical time. ”

"Subordinates are waiting to be dispatched by Master Hou!"

Fang Xie snorted: "Tell the soldiers that this battle will not be easy...... You're not just holding back the fierce Wolf Riders, they're a bunch of people who are desperate to go home, and the latter is ...... Far more important than the former. If it is the barbarians who block our way home, you can imagine how fierce the enemy will be this time. ”

Fang Xie finished checking the defenses on this side of the canyon and went to the west to check. Between the two stone walls is the entire canyon, which is the living space of nearly 20,000 soldiers. The entire canyon is blocked from both ends, with the stone wall on the east side still leaving a gate, and the west side completely blocked. Standing on the stone wall on the west side and looking out, you don't need clairvoyance to see the vast expanse of the prairie.

A few years ago, 700,000 elite soldiers and millions of people in the Great Sui walked out from here, how high-spirited was it at that time? But who would have thought that in just a few months, the army would be defeated and killed. I don't know if there are any remnants of the Han people on the grassland at this time, whether they are still hiding and hiding, or they were captured by the barbarians as slaves and tortured every day.

The development of things always seems to not meet everyone's expectations, fate first poked Da Sui, and now it is the turn to poke Meng Yuan.

Fang Xie stood on the stone wall and looked at the grassland that was already covered with green grass, all he thought about was about Prince Zhong Yang Qi and Luo Yao.

In fact, to this day, things are still weird.

According to reason, Kuoketai Meng Ge threw hundreds of thousands of horses into the Great Sui, and the back road had to be arranged properly, but Lu Fenghou took people to spend two months building a stone wall in the canyon, and Meng Yuan didn't move at all. If it weren't for the fact that Kuktai Meng Ge was an idiot, then it could only mean that something had happened to Meng Yuan's side, so that Meng Ge had no spare energy to take care of this side.

As the Great Khan of the most powerful empire in the world, what could tie up this emperor in the Mengyuan Kingdom so that he was tied?

Does it have anything to do with Prince Zhong's westward journey and Xiao Yijiu's westward journey? And the two Tianzun have run away, what is hidden behind this? For Meng Yuan, there is really too little understanding.

Fang Xie shook his head, not thinking that the former was too likely. Even if Prince Zhong and Xiao Yijiu's cultivation was strong, they were not strong enough to stumble the entire empire on their own.

When he thought of this, Fang Xie couldn't help but think of the matter of Koktai Menglie leading the army to attack the left front guard. What kind of interests drove the Great Khan of Mengyuan and the Great Sui Emperor to reach an agreement on this matter? There is no doubt that the target of Yang Yi and Meng Ge is Luo Yao, why is Meng Ge so jealous of a Great Sui general, and even does not hesitate to stand with the emperor of the Great Sui for a short time?

Didn't Meng Ge know at that time that even if the emperor of the Great Sui had any agreement with him, he would definitely not easily release the 200,000 wolf horsemen back to the prairie, if Meng Ge could think of this, why didn't he send troops to occupy the canyon in advance? This is not what a mighty monarch should do, and it is impossible for people to see through it.

Looking at the grassland, Fang Xie had to think of the man named Luo Yao.

What kind of secret is a man who has aroused the hostility and even the murderous heart of the two supreme beings of the Great Sui and Meng Yuan, powerful empires? If he was just a strong Sui general, there was no need for Meng Ge to send more than 200,000 people to try to kill him.

Fang Xie even firmly believed that in order to kill Luo Yao, he would inevitably bring a large number of masters in the Meng Yuan army. Since these people were confident that they could kill Luo Yao, why didn't they simply assassinate the emperor of the Great Sui? This shows that Luo Yao has a more important position than the Great Sui Emperor in the mind of Koktai Mengge!

So much so that the two emperors needed to join forces for him.

Fang Xie let out a long sigh of relief, and the doubts in his eyes did not dissipate.

Luo Yao......

Who are you?

Fang Solution......

Who the hell are you?
