Chapter 19 • False Border Defense

The "battalion commander" saluted respectfully, and then stood aside and said no more.

Qiu Xin, who was sitting in the handsome seat, said "um" lightly, and did not answer, while sipping tea while looking at today's report, so after about an hour, Qiu Xin saw Yan Wuji, who had always stood still, and said: "There is no need to say anything about the guilt, you just took over the post of the scout lieutenant of the left guard, and you are not familiar with many aspects, so you can't blame all the things about the water word this time, and you can react in time to avoid a sneak attack on Xiema Town, which can be regarded as a merit and demerit." “

"Xie Yingshuai!" Seeing that Qiu Xin finally spoke, Yan Wuji was also greatly relieved in his heart.

"But you have to work harder in the future, and after you go back, you will strengthen the training of the scout team, and the matter can happen once, but I will never allow it to appear a second time." After speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the report again.

"Well, anything else?" Seeing that Yan Wuji was still on crutches there, Qiu Xin couldn't help but ask curiously.

Yan Wuji clenched his fists and said: "There is indeed one more thing, from the matter of the water word this time, there will be some speculation at the end." “

"Oh? Let's hear it. “

"In this Shuizishi incident, our Shuizishi was completely wiped out by the enemy in a silent situation, which shows that the enemy now has a counter-reconnaissance capability that is enough to compete with us, even higher than ours."

After a pause, Yan Wuji continued: "Thinking of the fact that from time to time in these years, small groups of Humeng cavalry will cross the border and enter my Yan realm to fight the autumn wind, it can be considered that in fact, these small groups of stragglers are actually not Humeng stragglers, but Humeng's scouts, they have accumulated enough reconnaissance experience after these years of adversity training, and they are completely aimed at the reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities of our Yan army, and they are well aware of our border military deployment." “

As Yan Wuji said his conjecture word by word, Qiu Xin's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Truly! If what Yan Wuji said is true, then the current deployment of the Yan army on the border is completely a live target exposed to the enemy's arrows, and the Humeng people can be ghostly, while our Yan army can only be beaten passively.

Changing a new set of military deployments will be a matter of urgency, but the implementation of a new deployment system in a short period of time is likely to lead to the disruption of communication between various ministries, which is very taboo in wartime.

The Great Wall that Yan Kingdom has built on the northwest border for decades is actually a fictitious thing at this time! Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Qiu Xin, who was calm and calm, couldn't help but become anxious, in terms of the current situation, Xiema Town was surrounded by Hu Meng's army, and the news could not be spread at all, if Hu Meng was really as Yan Wuji speculated, it would only take a few thousand people to bypass the eyes of the border guards, and they could go straight to the food pass.

Although the Yaoguan is the gateway to the Central Plains in the south, but the permanent troops are only 1,000 people, and the Humeng people have a calculating and unintentional, if they have been preparing for a long time, if they suddenly attack, I am afraid that the fall of the Yaoguan will be in the evening, and what is more fatal is that the handsome tent of the old handsome Yan Hu is in the Yanguan, if the old handsome is captured by the fall of the Yanguan, then the entire northwest frontier of the Yan Empire will be paralyzed, just like a tiger that has lost its head, and can only let the Humeng people peel their skin and cramp.

And after the pass to Yanjing is a horse Pingchuan of the Central Plains fertile field, with the speed of Humeng's iron horse, it will not take a few days to reach the Yanjing City, this kind of shaking the foundation of the entire empire, but the Yan Empire has never been established in the past hundred years.

Qiu Xintian sighed: "In the past, it was my Dayan who pressed others to beat, if I didn't accept it, I beat it until I obeyed, and I beat it until I was obedient, how could anyone dare to beat my Dayan Tiger whiskers like this, it seems that we have been too comfortable over the years, born in sorrow, died in peace, and the ancients did not deceive me." ”

Gritting his teeth fiercely, as if he had made a determination to break his wrist, he instructed Yan Wuji: "You go down first, and by the way, ask Liu Debiao to hand over the defense to Liu Zhilan, and then come over to see me." ”

After the order, Qiu Xin immediately buried his head in writing something, and when Liu Debiao walked in the door, he just put down the pen in his hand, so he told Liu Debiao about the things he talked about with Yan Wuji before, and then smiled at him with a somewhat complicated expression: "Debiao, although it is difficult to speak, but apart from you, I can't think of any other candidate, I want you to break through with this letter and present it to the old handsome, are you willing to take it?" ”

Liu Debiao rubbed his face with his hand and grinned: "Don't worry, Camp Shuai, just hand it over to Biaozi." ”

The moment he heard the title of "Biaozi", Qiu Xin had an urge to give up this plan, or to change to someone else, for the guy in front of him who called himself "Biaozi", he had a thousand reluctances in his heart.

This title is so familiar and unfamiliar to him, since this guy became the president of Qian, he said goodbye to this title, according to his own words, "Biaozi is too vulgar and does not fit his current identity." Of course, Qiu Xin and Zhu Ziming were sneering at this, and now that Liu Debiao himself spit out this title, he probably understands that this time there is really no return.

"Tonight, when you go out of the west gate, I will send three other troops to feign a breakthrough from the other three directions, and you can choose your own men and horses, and give you more food in the evening."

"Order!"

Liu Debiao turned around and opened the curtain and was about to go out, when he suddenly heard Qiu Xin behind him say: "Go and see Ziming before leaving." ”

"Don't worry, Biaozi, I haven't taken my wife to inherit the lineage, how can I have the face to go down to see Daddy and Auntie, let's go." He lowered the curtain and left without looking back.

In fact, this is not so much to widen Qiu Xin's heart, but to say that it is to widen his own heart, to say that there is no half of the heart to complain, it is impossible, who is willing to throw his life outside this desolate city, who is willing to let go of the status and wealth that he has worked hard for half a lifetime, and who is willing to close his eyes forever and no longer look at the distant sky, but some things are so cruel that people have to give up all the good things and resolutely implement them, but the price is unbearable for individuals.

On the way back, Liu Debiao stepped on the soft sand under his feet, but his legs felt softer than the sand under his feet, and he couldn't help cursing himself fiercely: "Lao Tzu can be regarded as crawling out of the pile of dead people, when did he get to this point." ”

drank a bowl full of choking liquor, although Zhu Ziming wanted to go to Qiu Xin's big tent to persuade him, but he also understood that the choice of the battalion commander was indeed the best and only one at present, if Liu Debiao failed, sending others would be no different from sending him to death, and after drinking a few bowls with him, Zhu Ziming returned to his city wall to continue patrolling.

Because his own defense area has been handed over to Liu Zhilan to take over, Liu Debiao, who is relaxed, after choosing the part to break through with him, went to the teaching workshop of the Teaching Workshop Division in Xiema Town with Qiu Xin's acquiescence to have fun, the name of the Teaching Workshop Division is good, in fact, it is a brothel with an official signboard, and there are women who have volunteered to join, but most of them are old, and they are so old that they can't get along in the land of smoke and willows, and no one is willing to redeem them, how can those women in their prime be willing to go to these remote places, Take the pitiful moon sparry, and entertain the sweaty soldiers.

However, the sect department is more to take in the female dependents of those sinful ministers and officials, so that they can use their bodies to atone for the sins of the men of their family, their fate may be tragic, but no one in this world will pity these women.

There is a new beautiful woman in the workshop, it is said that she is the wife of a criminal lieutenant, and she was also a famous local beauty before, when the wife of the victim stood in front of him, Liu Debiao couldn't help but sigh a pity, and at the same time was very happy.

Although it was the first time, the other party seemed to have accepted the arrangement of fate for her, Qu Yi met Liu Debiao's every request, Liu Debiao also indulged fiercely, and then hugged the smooth body and slept until it was close to the time before waking up, walking out of the camp in a daze, and whispering softly: "Hehe, I can meet such a graceful and beautiful little lady in this bitter cold land in the northwest, and this life is worth it!" ”。

……

Looking at the faces of the generals, Qiu Xin couldn't help but chant a poem given to him by the old handsome: "The night is full of bows, and the wind is up to send recruits." ”

The same person, the same place, the difference is the time and the identity of the person, he stood in the first row under the stage, the wind in the night was wrapped in cold and blowing his face, but he still looked at the old handsome on the stage intently, and his emotions fluctuated with the words of the old handsome, and then plunged into the enemy formation.

By the way, there were Liu Debiao, Zhu Ziming, and ...... who followed him at the beginning. Many people, when they woke up, there was only Liu Debiao with a bloodstained face around them, and Zhu Ziming who was lying not far away and humming, and other comrades-in-arms have occasionally remembered them over the years, but they are just a general "them".

His eyes turned to Liu Debiao, he still looked like a ruffian, this guy always looked like an old god, he was there back then, but now he is still not spared, such a thing, anyway, he really feels very cruel.

There was no very passionate mobilization speech, Qiu Xin only said: "If the skin does not have hair, it will be attached, the country is not there, and the family is not safe?" The instrument of the society depends on the monarchs this time. ”

As soon as the time arrived, the originally silent Xiema town was like a sudden churning boiling water, in the slow and heavy sound of the axle wheel at the city gate, a cavalry roared out from the city gate in all directions, and rushed straight to the enemy formation, and then listened to the corners of the Humeng camp in a few moments, the drums were dotted, and then a horseman rode the Humeng iron cavalry under the command of the leaders of the various departments jumped out of the camp, and shook the Yan army out of the city head-on.

Lifting the mountain axe in his hand, Liu Debiao led the elite of the hundred cavalry to attack the weak point of the enemy, but turned a blind eye to the Humeng iron cavalry that was rushing towards him from afar.

Liu Debiao glanced at the partial general who intercepted the past, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but in an instant, he was submerged in the decisive decision, and ran out of hundreds of meters at great speed, and a wave of Humeng iron cavalry rushed forward, and a partial general behind him led dozens of people to intercept and kill the past, and so on, and when Liu Debiao rushed into the enemy camp, there were only more than ten horsemen left around him, and in the face of the Humeng soldiers who rushed to this side like a tide, Rao was used to seeing a big battle, and he couldn't help but tighten the battle axe in his hand, turned around and slashed an attacking enemy soldier with an axe, and continued to maintain momentum with his legs between the horse's belly. Because he knew that the end of stopping would be to be encircled, to be captured or to die in battle.

"Whoa" spat fiercely, Liu Debiao tried his best to curb the idea of turning the horse's head and going forward to fight happily, and continued to gallop the horse.

At this time, in the Humeng camp, hundreds of Humeng soldiers were densely gathered, holding swords and shields, guarding the central few people in a circular array, one of them was wearing a loose cotton robe, which looked a little out of place with the surrounding metallic armor, but there was an invisible aura, which made everyone present full of awe of him.

Different from the atmosphere full of impetuousness around him, this person looked calmly, quietly looking at the battle situation in front of him, as if he was thinking about something, but occasionally there was a wisp of ruthlessness that was extremely difficult for ordinary people to perceive from his eyes.

Standing behind Ge Erqin is a burly Hu Meng general, just from his gorgeous generals, he knows that this is a Hu Meng senior general, and now the only Humeng senior general who can appear outside Shema Town at the same time as Ge Erqin is Temuter who is the commander of the southbound troops, as for the original Crozadu, after obediently handing over the military power, he was sent to the rear to manage the baggage.

"Mr. Ge, looking at Yan Jun's posture, they want to break through, but I don't know which way they are preparing to rush." Temu Tier said as if inadvertently.

"It's okay, if you can stop it, if you can't stop it, forget it, anyway, we're just building momentum, if we can, it's also allowed to kill a few more Yan soldiers."

Hearing about Ge Erqin's words, Temu Tie'er's eyes flashed ruthlessly and said: "Then leave all these southern barbarians who have left the city." ”

"Hmph" snorted noncommittally, Ge Erqin didn't have the heart to watch the one-sided siege in front of him anymore, but he was a little puzzled by the move of the commander in Xiema Town, Shema Town has a high gate and sufficient material reserves, what made him make the decision to break through, and finally buried hundreds of lives in vain? .

"Is it ......? Impossible, this dripping layout, they are not so easy to detect. Ge Erqin pondered as he walked towards his big tent.
