Chapter 222: Hibernation

In October of the sixth year of Huichang, the day of obscurity. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a month of waiting for Lu Long's army, Zhang Zhongwu led 40,000 troops from Huairou in the north of Youzhou to cross Lushui, and then divided his troops into two routes to launch a counteroffensive against the enemy army in Danzhou in the north and south directions at the same time.

On the same day, Li Maoxun, the left wing of Lu Long's army, led an army of 80,000 to recover Luxian, and then crossed the Lushui army to attack the enemy troops in Sanhe, Yuyang, and Yutian in Jizhou in three ways.

The next day, the Khitan Ulhan and Uighur Nali returned to aid on the orders of King Xi, and the siege of Shicheng and Lulong County was lifted.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Yuguan garrison and the Liucheng army each sent 5,000 troops under the leadership of the Liucheng army envoy He Rui to cross Pingzhou to pursue the enemy to Jizhou, and a day later joined the Lu Long army outside Yutian to form an encirclement of the enemy army in Yutian.

Almost at the same time, Li Zhen led 3,000 elite cavalry out of Chongqing Pass and marched along the White Wolf River in Yingzhou to the Khitan B Department in the northeast.

......

White Wolf Water, named after the White Wolf Mountain, descends from the northeast and flows into Luanshui, its widest point is about ten zhang, and the deepest part is more than one zhang, and the Khitan B room is on the south bank of the White Wolf Water, and it is also the first Khitan tribe from the south to the north.

In the middle of the night, in a dense forest of birch forests and bushes, the night covered this place with a thick layer of black, and from a distance, it seemed that this place had completely merged with the night, as if this place was a bottomless black hole, opening its own hideous mouth to all the people who stopped here.

In the distance is the dense dome of the B room (the tent where the Khitans live, called "the dome"), and several low wooden fences can be vaguely seen criss-crossed, and the candles shine out from the cracks in the dome, looking like the sky is full of stars from a distance, accompanied by the cold autumn wind from time to time there are a few low dog barks and the unbridled laughter of the men.

However, at this moment, the Khitans in the dome would never have dreamed that in the dense forest less than a hundred feet away from them, three thousand pairs of eyes full of murderous intent were staring at them like hunting black panthers.

Three thousand war horses were wrapped in their feet, shaking their high heads restlessly in the night, and on horseback were Tang soldiers holding bows and swords.

In order to prevent the soldiers' armor from reflecting and revealing their whereabouts, Li Zhen asked everyone to put on a black cloth short coat in addition to the armor, but this did not hide the hardness of the armor in the slightest, but added some tenacity to these lonely men.

Thinking back then, Emperor Taizongwen led 500 Xuanjia troops to open and close on the battlefield and be invincible, how could he have expected that today, more than 200 years later, his descendants would lead 3,000 Xuanyi elite cavalry out of Yuguan to smash the base camp of the feudal clan.

Li Zhen lay dormant in a dense bush, squinting his eyes and looking intently ahead, since he came out of Yuguan, he has not said a word, not only him, even Gao Yu, Xu Liang, and Yan Heng rarely have too much communication.

Strictly speaking, this is Li Zhen's first battle, the first time to take the initiative to attack, the first time to go deep alone, and the first long-distance attack.

The importance of this battle was not to inflict serious damage on the enemy's headquarters, but to break the morale of the enemy's army, and more importantly, to convey a message to the northeastern feudal domains.

Although the Tang Dynasty is declining, it will never allow the feudal lords to trample on it; Although the Tang Dynasty is weak, it will never allow foreign enemies to covet it, and anyone who dares to anger the Tang Dynasty will face the seven-foot blade of the Tang Dynasty, and what it will bear will also be the infernal fire from the Nine Hells.

There was a dead silence in the forest, through the sparse and withered branches, the faint moonlight sprinkled in, but this touch of moonlight could not add the slightest light to the darkness here, Li Zhen looked up at the crescent moon above his head, his face was not sad or happy, not shocked or worried.

"What time is it?" Li Zhen opened his already chapped lips and asked softly, this was the first time he spoke, so that the moment his lips opened, a small piece of flesh was torn down, and Li Zhen immediately bit his lower lip to prevent blood from dripping.

On his side were Liu Guan and other five veterans, and when they saw this, they twisted their heads to the side, their eyes revealing unbearability and perseverance.

Liu Guan looked up at the moon, lowered his voice and replied: "The ugly time is at the end, and the time is approaching!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Guan handed over the water bladder.

Seeing this, Li Zhen shook his head: "Keep it for the brothers!" In addition, he ordered to go down and attack the camp at the right time! ”

Liu Guan was not reluctant, tied the water bladder back to his waist, and then nodded and responded: "Oh! ”

The time is approaching, and the chill increases suddenly, especially in this already cold camp, a cold wind blows, and these soldiers who are dressed in cold clothes can't help but shiver, wrapping the black cloak on their bodies tighter, but the checkered bow is still clenched in their hands.

Liu Guan raised his head and stared at the crescent moon tightly, but time seemed to stand still at this moment, the wind whistling in his ears, and the branches around him emitted a long and strange hissing sound, and nothing else, as if this place was the Infernal Hell, as if this moment was the end of life.

Suddenly, Liu Guan retracted his gaze and said softly: "General, the time has come!" ”

Li Zhen nodded when he heard this, and said, "Order, go and withdraw your feet, bow and string!" ”

The long-lost order, the long-lost battle, finally began at this moment.

With a rapid and short sound of Jin Ge, the three thousand essence arrows were already ready to attack, only to see Li Zhen turn over and step onto the war horse, and the black cloak suddenly stirred in the wind, making a crackling sound.

"Rush!"

Li Zhen suddenly shouted, like a thunderbolt in the black night sky, piercing the sky and shaking the original dead silence into nothing.

As if to vent the depression that had been suppressed for a long time, one after another the war horses jumped out of the jungle with a long neigh, and galloped away like the wind towards the little light ahead.

I saw Li Zhen taking the lead, fusing with the pure black war horse under his crotch, only the black cloak was waving in the wind, just like a black lightning rushing towards his own end, the enemy's end.

Boom Boom

Three thousand horses galloped forward, shaking the ground and rumbling, as if at this moment, the earth trembled, and the god of death wept for it.

When the Khitans of the B Room Department were still asleep, when the feudal alliance army was wantonly trampling on the land of the Tang Dynasty, in their lair, the Grim Reaper began to wield his hideous, terrifying and irresistible blade in the face of their wives, sons and daughters.

The war horse galloped, like the wind and lightning, and when the grid bow that was already ready to be launched in Li Zhen's hand was raised high, the Khitans of the B Chamber finally ushered in their own annihilation, and their khans were bound to pay a heavy price for the decision they made.
