13. Gallop the river loop

Between the railing mountain and the waves, Fenghua, Fengcheng, and Zhenwu rode for more than ten miles, and Li Xian, the herald sent by Gao Yue, galloped from Yuhe Fort, bowed in front of Du Huangshang's horse, and said that under the order of Ji Gong, Du Menlang Jian was specially invited to ride finely, and he was involved in the emperor's source river, and entered the Heishui River on the north side of Wancheng, and Ji Gong responded there. Follow? Dream?. com

Li Xian's language is very clever, and he uses the word "invite" to Du.

Du Huangshang was surprised at first - this Gao Yue, as the supreme commander of the front line, actually personally led the cavalry to wrap around, which was really incredible, but soon he laughed again, thinking in his heart that when he intercepted and captured the traitor Li Xilie in Jushui, he knew that Gao Yue was a person who did what he thought of, and the reason why he personally supervised the battle, then Heishui should be the key to capturing the entire Tongwan City.

So Du Huangshang quickly issued an order: I and Li Gongshang (Hedong Jiedu made Li Ziliang official visit the school engineering department Shangshu) led the infantry army and heavy grain to the direction of Yinzhou Yuhe Fort, and General Zhang Guangsheng led 3,000 Zhenwu cavalry all the way, aiming directly at the camel weir and sweeping the rebel Qiang along the road; A total of 4,000 cavalry led Fenghua and Fengcheng in the Hun service, and the goal was directly aimed at Woyebo, preparing to join Gao Jigong's soldiers and horses.

Zhang Guangsheng and Hun Xuan, one had been on the battlefield in Daibei and Zhenwu for a long time, and the other had previously followed Guo Ziyi's Shuofang army to various places, and they were familiar with the local geographical environment, and they were even better at long-distance cavalry attacks. Soon, they led the mighty cavalry, like two huge iron pincers, and began to stretch rapidly towards the vast desert, grassland, and lake east of Qiwu Mountain.

While the two generals, Zhang and Hun, were rushing from east to west, Gao Yue's cavalry was moving from south to north, on the east side of Tongwan City.

The cavalry of the sixth battalion flew in front of the battle flag, and thousands of familiar Qiang Yi rode behind on horseback, among which Gao Yue himself also rode the Nanzhao Shenju "Da Li Xue", which traveled thousands of miles a day, accompanied by thousands of sons and city men galloping along the west bank of the Diyuan River.

Before the war, the emperor had asked him with concern, Nanzhao and I Tang will then formally meet in the Erhai Lake's Diancang Mountain, the younger brother of the previous Yi Mu Xun Luo Dong has entered the court to pay the token, and gave me an excellent BMW, Qing this time to suppress the party, mostly in the white in the mountains and the north of the field Daze action, less to ride a horse galloping, I may as well give this BMW to Qing.

Gao Yue burst into tears, saying that His Majesty was wrong to love, but His Majesty's mount was carrying a saint, how could he allow the body of a layman to be contaminated again? How dare the minister trespass, just accept His Majesty's good intentions.

The entire Emperor Source River, in Gao Yue's flying clothes, retreated sharply, in the howling wind, Gao Yue saw that this river was very peculiar, the banks were extremely steep, like a cliff, it was a trench separating the east and west.

And the trenches look to the west, and they are all wilderness.

No, the word "wilderness" is not particularly precise to describe, to be precise, Shuofang or Hetao area is just a "quasi-desert", it also has mountains but not many, there are seven relatively large lakes, five of which are salt lakes, two are freshwater lakes, there is a very wide desert in the inner abdomen, but there are also extremely rich water meadows, plus the Hetao to the white mountains with four corners, are called extremely rich agricultural areas, the absolute "golden horn and silver edge": Lingwu in the southwest corner, Fengzhou Tiandejun in the northwest corner, Shengzhou in the northeast corner, There is also the rice fat in the east corner to the Fuyuan area, which is famous for its fertile land, and this place is rich in good horses, green and white salt, so it is not unreasonable to say that "the Yellow River is harmful, but only one set of riches".

Now it is necessary to clean up the party items here, use the party items to provide manpower for the workshops in the interior, and at the same time use soldiers and immigrants to enrich the place and consolidate the defense line in northern China.

The actions of the entire cavalry can be described as swift and efficient, because Gao Yue had asked Sanya to print dozens of copies of Jia Tan's "Four Yi and Seven Dao Soldiers" in advance, and issued them to the generals of the unified army, and required them to memorize them, and the records of the various roads, miles and passes of Shuofang were very detailed, and there was no possibility of getting lost.

Three days later, Gao Yue drank the horse Heishui River, he looked west, that is, the majestic Qiwu Mountain, when Helian Bobo had traveled north to here, sighed and said, "Beautiful Sifu, near Guangze and with a clear stream, I have a lot of land, there is no beauty of Ruosi", then Helian Bobo made up his mind to build a majestic city in the south of this mountain, that is, the later Tongwan City, so the geographical situation of this city is "back to the famous mountain (north is Qiwu Mountain) and face the torrent (south by the Wuding River), The left river is Jin and the right is heavy (the Wuding River also bypasses the east side of Tongwan City, so there is this left and right, please look at the ancient map backwards)".

Countless Tang cavalrymen jumped off their horses, and then dragged them to the black water to drink, and some took out some crushed cyan salt from their coats, and let their close comrades-in-arms stretch out their tongues and lick them.

Soon, the Yining army and the horse army all knew that the soldiers and horses made Fuyu Huai shout Chinese, while Ming Huaiyi and Ye Shiliangbi shouted the local dialect of the party, raised the whip and rode through the resting army, shouting not to slack off, not to take off the armor, not to throw down the weapon, the whole army lined up, quickly seized the south bank of the black water, and the horse's head was facing Baichengzi!

At this moment, Baichengzi, between the east and west cities, is also a scene of people and horses, on the hook fence protruding from the huge and towering corner tower, the soldiers of Xia are holding torches, shaking rapidly and continuously, and the scouts galloping around the city are constantly raising their hands and shouting to the city wall:

"The Tang Army is the best!"

"A large number of cavalry of the Tang Army, I don't know thousands, have reached the black water of Wushan Mountain, seventy miles north of the city!"

On the Zhenzhu Tower in the inner city, when Yuan Hui heard the news, he trembled with fear, and he said, "The prince of Nixiang and the two princes of me"

Because at this moment, Prince Nixiang, Yuan Long, and Yuan Sheng were leading 20,000 Xia cavalry out of Tongwan City, preparing to cross the west of Qiwu Mountain, rush to Shiziling, and then turn it into pieces, waiting for an opportunity to guerrilla, and respond to the immediate defense of Tongwan City.

According to the prior information, Gao Yue's main forces (Gao Gu and Zhang Jingze) were coming along the Wuding River to the east of Tongwan City.

As for the main force of Jia Tan and Gao Chongwen, they have just arrived at the Hongliu River in the southwest of Tongwancheng (the upper reaches of the Wuding River, named after the red willow trees on both banks, and it was also called Luyanshui in ancient times).

But who would have thought that Gao Yue would suddenly lead a cavalry brigade and cut off the black water to the north of Tongwan City.

There is no doubt that the team that Prince Nixiang is going to go to the "guerrillas" has just left the city, and he has to meet Gao Yue's cavalry at the foot of Qiwu Mountain.

At the end of the day (between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.), Gao Yue and Yi Rat, under the protection of Yonehara, Noshi Liangbi and Sibo Ono, climbed Mount Qiwu.

On the mountainside stands the temple of Helian Bo, the cemetery of the emperor of Daxia is also here, because the city wall is also white, so it is called "White City", also called "Qiwu City", originally collapsed badly, and then Yuan Hui occupied the city of Tongwan called the emperor, he thought that he and Helian Bobo had incense, so he repaired this place.

The Tang soldiers who came before Gao Yue caught several "shamans" (shamans) in Helian Temple who had not been able to escape, cut off their heads one by one, and threw their bodies into the mountain stream.

Gao Yue, who was standing on the fence of the temple and looking into the distance, pointed to a large number of Xia cavalry that appeared under the distant sky, "Amazing, the rebels actually took the initiative to fight?" ”
