11. Attack the city soldiers
In front of the Baili City Shooting Pavilion, when the drums were beating and clanging almost did not stop, in front of the various columns of stacks, the battalion soldiers were organized according to the tun team, and the arrows were fired in turn like rain, and they could all win the bid, so that the drummer's arm was almost broken.
Gao Yue sat under the pavilion, and after the test was completed, he felt that the morale and morale of the army were available, so he got up and stood on the steps and issued an order for mobilization:
"In the first year of Jianzhong, the year was October 23.
My monarch is dying of all countries, and the Quartet of virtues is in all directions, and the rebellion is far away, and the same literature is full of arms. It is to be cautious, Fuyu left to come to the court, Yelang, Dianchi braided hair engaged. Today, the Gyeongju Party Pheasant Qiang dares to do the usual, rob our country's horses, block the trade route, secretly pass through the West Tibet, and commit my pavilion barrier. The year is solid by the mountain, shaking the poison of bee stinging; Take advantage of the danger and fight for the arm of the praying mantis. The jackal is unbearable, and the head is reversed. If you rebel and don't ask for it, why demonstrate?
I am a courtier of the Son of Heaven, and I am sealed with a sword, and I am under the control of the party in Jingyuan, without losing the duty of appeasement and the responsibility of overseeing the army. Today, the original state line in Tianshi, levy a tun to stay a tun, from which the original Tianshi of Jing 1,000 soldiers, Fan Yang Tianshi 300 soldiers, a total of 1,300 soldiers, a total of 100 troops, more than the side of the city near the small three states, sister light party items brave soldiers, and strive to fight for the fierce, quiet to protect the border. ”
In fact, Gao Yue's actions did not consulted Zhu Jun at all, let alone Yao Lingyan, who served as the camp of Jingyuan, and he mobilized the battalion soldiers and the troops on the side of the city, all by virtue of his title and power of "the envoy of the army".
His words were loud, and the three chiefs of Mozhou, Xicangzhou and Xuzhou, Mi Mu Changyuan, Tujiu Bo and Sha Tongju, who had come to the banquet, couldn't help but be shocked, and were just about to get up to defend and resist, but the wanderers around the shooting pavilion were holding horizontal knives in their hands, revealing white blades, and the three of them looked at each other, so they could only sit down.
Gao Yue and Yan Yuese said to him, immediately grant you the Xiaosanzhou Party Xiang Fan cultivated cattle, seeds, and herbs, and divide them into your fields and pastures, and accept you and others as the city's side, so don't follow the pheasant clan to help you abuse.
Mi Mu Changyuan, Tujiu Bo and Sha Tongju hurriedly agreed, and then Gao Yue said, I think the sons and nephews around you are all handsome talents, and in the future, I will recommend them to the imperial court to obtain a confession, and before that, they can receive etiquette education in the Baili City Pavilion.
After speaking, the nephews and nephews who came to the banquet with the three chiefs were also sent to the "post station" outside the city for hospitality.
At this time, the brothers Ming Huaiyi and Ming Jingyi stepped into the shooting pavilion, patted their chests at the chief of Xiaosanzhou and said My sister Qingfanluo is willing to form an alliance with you and others, and together they will have a "reward game" against the pheasant clan who committed the border:
"The children of the captured cattle and horses shall be divided equally!"
The next day, the beacons outside the city of Jingzhou suddenly lit the reed torch of the alarm, and on the tower of the city gate, Yao Lingyan, Ma Di and other Jingyuan army generals hurriedly stepped up the ladder and held the hook fence to look into the distance.
I saw that in the area of Gechuan and Baiquan, an army of thousands of people was lining up like a long snake, winding through the west of the city.
"Whose team, is it Tian Shi from Baili City?" Yao Lingyan was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
"Look over there!" Ma Di pointed to the south, and Yao Lingyan looked over, but when he saw several beacons at the junction of Baili City and Jingzhou City, there were streams of "peace smoke" lit - Gao Yue's beacons obviously wanted to tell Yao Lingyan about them: "This is the act of the envoy of the Emperor, so don't worry about retreating." ”
The strange thing is that Lianyunbao on the western border of Lianzhou also rose with peace smoke.
With a "bang", Yao Lingyan's fist hit the hook fence Mu Xun, "What the hell is going on, quickly send someone to Fengxiang Mansion to ask the ...... of the king of Suining County"
Before the order was issued, in front of the city gate under the watchtower, the county officials of the two horsemen of the hundred-mile new city galloped forward, loudly declared their identities, and explained the reason for the military operation to the camp after staying:
"Gyeongju pheasants robbed the military government war horses and horse fang forbidden horses, attacked and killed the athletes in the city of Yuanzhou, and entered the state border without permission, and the envoys of the Tibetan army raised a brave fight!"
"Gao Yue wants, do you want to please the pheasant clan? This seems to be a provocation ......" In a hurry, Yao Lingyan's words were not good.
This time, Gao Yue requisitioned all the war horses, and even the forbidden horses sent by the emperor he did not hesitate to use them, a total of 1,150 horses, including 700 war horses prepared by the soldiers of the Fan Luo Party in Xiaosanzhou, with a total of nearly 2,000 war horses: Gao Yue let Jingyuan Tianshi take the foot, Fan Yang Tianshi as the horse, and shared 400 horses; And the rest of the horses, he gave them all to the party soldiers who were close to him.
Among them, the party of the small three states sent 300 troops, and the sister sent 700 troops.
There were also 600 war horses, and Ming Huaiyi simply ordered that all the able-bodied women over the age of thirteen and under the age of sixty in the whole clan also prepare weapons and tinder on their horses and follow them into battle.
The custom of the party is that once a reward competition breaks out, if there are not enough men, all the women will fight to the death together.
After crossing the Jingchuan Bridge, Gao Yue ordered the whole army to be divided into three parts: he appointed two good shooters Hou Lan and Cheng Junren as the left and right envoys, Hou Lan supervised the Jingyuan soldiers on the left, Cheng Junren supervised Fan Yang's soldiers on the right, and the six hundred sisters and light women soldiers were the vanguard, promising to raze the pheasant tribe in Zhuzhou, and the cattle and horses obtained would have a share of the soldiers; Then 300 people from the party of Xiaosanzhou rode horses, marched from the Qingshiling hill in the northwest of Linjing City, and went straight to the post horse pass, cutting off the return road of the bridge civet; Seven hundred brothers of Ming Huaiyi and Ming Jingyi also rode horses and marched from the direction of Pingtingzha in the southeast of Linjing City.
Two days later, near the plain town of Zhenyuan, there were felt tents of the pheasant tribe, and a wooden stake fence was laid at the border, a large circle was framed, and a shallow ditch was dug to prevent the invasion of thieves and wolves and foxes. The sun is rising, the sun is looming between the distant peaks, cattle and horses are scattered to graze everywhere, and the pheasant people carry all kinds of things, saddles, bridles, and come and go between the camp tents. Behind the wooden building standing on the gate, several strong men with bows and arrows on their backs were pacing vigilantly on it, not letting go of any wind and grass around them.
"What's that?"
With this exclamation, the strong man on the wooden building looked in the direction of the rising sun, and saw that on the opposite hill, between the grass and the residual snow, I don't know when, several wooden piles were erected, and there seemed to be a black felt tent in the middle.
"Who is it that is there to build a burn mound?"
Just when the two sentry posts of the pheasant clan jumped from the ladder of the wooden building, and after coming down, they ran lifelessly towards the hundred sub-tents of the chieftain's bridge civet. Farther away from that hill, there were 1,300 Tianshi from Jingyuan and Fanyang, and a total of 100 troops were arrayed layer by layer, cutting off all the paths to the south of the pheasant camp. Ten people in each of the Tian Shijun teams were in front, holding long guns and carrying quivers, and the other three people who were weaker carried horses behind the battle (a team issued a horse) to help the wounded in case of fighting.
"Burn the mound?" After hearing the news, the bridge fox was also shocked and hurriedly ran out of his hundred children's tent.
At this time, on the hill opposite the pheasant camp, Ming Huaiyi's uncle and aunt, who was also a sister of Qingluo, were wearing a black big hat, with bare feet that were red from the cold, and a colorful rooster feather crown on her head like a Western Bon sorcerer, fluttering in the wind, shouting mysterious spells, dancing around the black felt tent that had been erected temporarily.
Inside the felt tent, the coffins of the seven sisters who had been killed were parked.
