On the official road, the cavalry of the Sui army was galloping to the east, and they had to rush to Huazhou Prefecture to govern Zheng as soon as possible. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Yanzhou rebels occupying Tongzhou had already moved south, and their troops were approaching Xingdejin, the Weishui ferry, and once the other side crossed Weishui and entered the south bank, it was only less than fifty miles away from Zhengcheng, the governor of Huazhou.

This is still the previous news, now the other party is likely to have entered the boundary of Huazhou, and Yang Guang's Dongyang Station is about forty miles away from Zhengcheng, if you can't enter the city before the Zhou army, you will be in a dilemma: there is an interception in front, and there are chasing soldiers in the back.

If you retreat to Weinan, it is easy to be besieged by the Zhou army chasing from the direction of Chang'an, and Zheng's defenders are more, and the Yanzhou rebels may not be able to surround it, and it is much easier to gather cavalry to break through from Zheng than from Weinan.

Twelve miles to the east of Dongyangyi is Chishui Valley, where there is a place to rest and stay called Chishuidian, and then twenty-five miles to the east is Zhengcheng.

Hurried through the Chishui shop, the front will pass through the stone embankment water, this water is from the south of the stone embankment valley flow, since the Han Dynasty, the stone embankment valley has opened up a road to the south to Shangluo, the valley mouth has the Sui army camp to guard, the prevention is that the Zhou army drilled out from this.

Shidiyu is located in the west of Zhengcheng, and Wengyu is located in the east of Zhengcheng, both of which are ancient roads to Shangluo, and they are also the valleys of the Sui army's strict defense.

"Your Highness, there is a stone bridge on the stone embankment, after a while, after crossing the stone bridge, ten miles to the east is Zhengcheng, enter the city and immediately gather soldiers, send cavalry to the east to break through the rebel interception, enter Tongguan to Luozhou to report urgency."

"Do you want to stay in Zhengcheng and guard? What about Peng Chenggong? ”

"Xia Guan naturally stayed to assist His Highness in defending the city."

Yang Guang has become a frightened bird, but he has to let him stay in Zheng Yiding's heart, so Yu Qing also has to stay to preside over the overall situation.

Stabilize Huazhou, the defenders of Weinan have the confidence to collect the defeated troops and hold on, of course, Weinan can not hold for long, but it can delay the pace of the eastward advance of the Zhou army in Chang'an, and buy time for the westward advance of the reinforcements from Luozhou and Hedong.

Therefore, it is the most important thing to enter Zheng as soon as possible, and after galloping along the official road for an unknown amount of time, a bridge looms on the horizon ahead, and a river running north-south is also faintly visible.

The flickering noise came, and Yang Guang fixed his eyes and saw that there were people fleeing north along the river at the mouth of the upper reaches of the river, all dressed in yellow clothes and waving the banner of the Sui army, looking very embarrassed.

Not far behind him, another group of people were in hot pursuit, dressed in black, beating... Zhou Jun flag!

"It's Zhou Jun! The Zhou army has broken through the stone embankment! ”

。。。。。。

Aim, release arrows, hit the back of the neck, the target fell to the ground, the horse chasing the other general Chen Wudi continued to bend the bow and arrows, today he led the Hulin army to change clothes, pretending to be a Sui soldier into the Shidiyu south to resist the Zhou army, successfully captured the valley.

The careful plan was not only to attack one target in Guangtongcang, after Gongyu Wenwen led the elite of the Hulin Army to attack Guangtongcang, the next target was originally only this stone embankment.

Walking the rugged path over the Qinling Mountains, it was naturally impossible for horses to accompany him, so he burned the Guangtong Warehouse, went northwest into Shayuan Weiqu and hid in the reeds, and was led by the Sogdian merchant Anturo, who acted as a guide, and obtained horses from the Sogdian Anshi in Tongzhou.

Changed the color of the Sui military uniform and folded to Huazhou in the south, fished in troubled waters into Shidiyu and took the ancient road back to Shangzhou to reject the sun.

The attack on Guangtongcang was to advance and retreat rather than to come and go, this was the original plan, but there was a change halfway: I heard that the Yanzhou army of the Sui State passed by the Tongzhou Chaoyi in the south, and Dugu Kai, who led the army, single-handedly said, "Anyway".

None of the soldiers of the Hulin Army agreed with Yuwenwen's adventure, but this was a stubborn donkey who couldn't hold it, and when he really said that the Duguyan brothers led the troops "anyway", Chen Wudi and others couldn't describe their mood at that time in words.

When the Yanzhou army joined its own camp, the plan was changed: Shidiyu still had to go, but the purpose was changed to lead troops out of the valley.

In the original plan, the Kaifu general Shi Wansui, under the leadership of Wang Wei, a surrendered Yang refusal, took Shidiyu all the way north, and feinted to attack the Sui military camp at Yukou but "couldn't attack it for a long time", which was actually a response.

This is also an opportunity for Yu Wenwen and others on the return journey to pretend to be Sui army reinforcements to enter Shidiyu to "help the war", and take the opportunity of the war to slip away, but Chen Wudi is working with Shi Wansui today to break through the Sui army's Yukou camp and enter the Guanzhong territory.

"Don't general, there are Sui cavalry on the official road ahead!"

Fifth Brother Chen turned his head to look, and saw that there were a large number of cavalry rushing from the west on the official road in front of him, and it seemed that he happened to be passing by, he slowed down his horse and discussed with Shi Wansui, who was catching up: "Could it be the Sui cavalry that has been reinforced?" Shi Kaifu, what do you think? ”

"When the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, what is there to be afraid of!"

"Well said, then divide the labor, and those cavalry will be handed over to Shi Kaifu!"

Shi Wansui shouted, led his soldiers to meet him, and wanted to fight with this sudden cavalry, squatting in the Qinling Mountains for a long time and finally came to the plain, and finally could run happily!

Under the leadership of Wang Wei, they set out from Zhuyang all the way to the north, taking rugged ancient roads, although there were horses, but not many, and thanks to the many war horses brought by Fifth Brother Chen this time, Shi Wansui and his subordinates were finally able to turn back into cavalry.

The Hulin Army burned the Guangtong warehouse and made a great achievement, and our government soldiers cannot lag behind!

The defenders of Shidiyu were in the midst of retreat, and suddenly bumped into their friendly troops passing by, which made a person overjoyed, and finally mustered up the courage to turn back and fight again, but was caught up by the cavalry infantry led by Chen Wudi.

Mounted infantry, a strange type of troops, because not a soldier riding a horse can be called a cavalry, a qualified cavalry not only has to practice hard riding, but also has to be proficient in fighting skills such as riding and archery, horse lance, etc., not overnight.

Yu Wenwen's Hulin Army was still short of horses, so he couldn't muster a large number of cavalry, but his requirements were also very strange: the soldiers must be able to ride horses, so the drum came up with "horse infantry".

Without horses, they were pure infantry, marching on their feet, and with horses, donkeys, and even mules, they marched on horse, on animal, and when they reached the battlefield, they fought on foot.

Fifth Brother Chen was already a veteran before joining the Hulin Army, and it was no problem to fight on horseback, but at present, most of these soldiers could only ride horses and could not charge into battle, and their riding ability was basically zero, so they still dismounted to fight against the Sui army that turned to face in front of them.

Play with heartbeat if you want to play, strong bow and close shot!

Relying on the armor on his body to resist the enemy's arrows, he quickly rushed to a distance of less than twenty paces and bent his bow to shoot arrows.

Just one round of arrows knocked the Sui soldiers over, and then the soldiers of the Tiger Forest Army drew their swords and continued to charge, directly crashing into the opponent's loose formation, each with several feather arrows inserted in their bodies, howling and slashing with their knives.

Years of physical training have given the soldiers of the Hulin Army the strength to engage in white-knuckle combat while charging on foot, and the daily hard practice of knife skills, melee combat skills and the cooperation of three-person battles have made them have no three-in-one enemies in front of them.

With well-made armor and steel-filled knives, the soldiers of the Hulin Army, who were not afraid of death, instantly crushed these Sui soldiers, and Wang Wei, who was following closely behind, was stunned when he saw this.

After he was captured, according to Yuwenwen's request, he returned to Zhuyang to persuade him to surrender, and the people supported him and said that he moved the county guard to sacrifice the city of Zhuyang "anyway", and acted as a guide to lead the Zhou army to the north through Shidiyu instead of Wengyu, all the way down, and was impressed by the quality of these Zhou troops.

Wearing armor, carrying a quiver, hanging a saber and holding a spear and dry food, walking dozens of miles of mountain roads every day without breathing, how did these soldiers train?

Wang Wei has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, proficient in riding and archery, and has been in business for several generations, so his family is well-off and does not worry about eating meat, and he has practiced hard for many years to develop a physique, and the result seems to be nothing special compared with this group of soldiers.

Look at this Chen Bei general leading the Hulin Army in foot combat, so unscrupulous to charge directly without a shield, and the strong bow close fire followed by a white-edged battle, which can only be described by the word "ferocious", such a battle is simply crazy.

The war horse neighed, Wang Wei turned his head to look, and saw that Shi Wansui, the general of Kaifu, had already led the cavalry and the Sui cavalry to rush together, and the number of cavalry of the Zhou army was barely half of the number of cavalry of the Sui army.

"Crazy, all crazy!" (To be continued.) )
