"Tiancheng, why did you come here? What are you busy with? Early in the morning, Wang Houchun looked for Yang Tiancheng everywhere, but found him in a fishing village outside the city who was consulting with a group of fishermen for fishing advice, and immediately smiled bitterly: "You don't really plan to go fishing at sea with a landlubber, right?" I can tell you, be careful to spit out the yellow bile. Didn't you hear that the last time Mr. Cen came to Shantou and vomited all the way on the boat? ”

Yang Tiancheng glared at him when he heard this, and said angrily: "Can you say something nice?" Before I went to sea, you began to curse me? What if I was born watery? ”

"Tell me, what happened early in the morning?" After Yang Tiancheng said a word, he got up from the crowd and walked to the side and asked, "Could it be that something happened on the front line?" ”

"Two things, Chen Yu's side is preparing for the final decisive battle with Pang Juzhao in the near future, and the other is the Western Route Army. Tianyi is already approaching Massachusetts, and it seems that the decisive battle of Qiqi is only in the last few days. Wang Houchun smiled: "You are in such a hurry to go to sea because you are not planning to see what is going on over there Xue Wanli, right?" There is only one wharf in Lianzhou Port now, which can only unload goods, and you can only stare dryly when you go. ”

Yang Tiancheng nodded when he heard this: "There is basically no problem on Chen Yu's side, and there is still the suppression of the Qian Ning Army on the back, basically it can be solved in one battle." But it's not so easy in the southwest. Tianyi and they didn't get out of the mountains for a whole month, but they were afraid that even if they arrived in Massachusetts, their morale would be damaged. At the moment, we can only see if Xue Yang's strange soldiers can appear in time. ”

Yang Tiancheng naturally saw Xue Yang's arrangement at a glance, this kind of cross-regional long-distance attack is really too difficult, if the time is not well grasped, then not only will it not be effective, but it is also very likely to completely bury the partial army in the enemy's hinterland. Now there is only the god of luck who prays for being on Xue Yang's side.

In fact, when Yang Tiancheng sighed secretly, Xue Yang had already led the army from Enzhou, handed over the defense of the entire Enzhou to a National Guard who received him, and led his soldiers and horses from Enzhou to the south and quickly advanced towards Mazhou. This time, he did not go to the mountains to conceal his whereabouts, but almost followed the footprints of the returning army on the northern line of Qiqi, and this blatant approach naturally quickly made the Qiqi army in front known. But unlike Xue Yang's thoughts, Agul, the son of the commander of the Northern Front Army, Agul, was very conflicted at this time, and he didn't know whether to rush back to Massachusetts first or reflexively intercept the army behind him. However, there was soon a piece of news that made Agulna make up his mind, and it was this decision that made the Khan of Massachusetts at a critical moment in the later battle of Massachusetts, instead of waiting for his own reinforcements, to look forward to his opponent.

All the family members that the Great Chief of the Qi had sent to Enzhou before were captured by the Tiance Army, and even Enzhou was taken down by the enemy behind him. You know, how long has Agul not left Enzhou? This shows that the opponent is waiting for him to leave Enzhou in an ambush outside the city. Among these family members are his wife and children. As soon as he thought of this, Agul poured blood into his pupils, and immediately ordered his soldiers and horses to reflexively fight a decisive battle with the Tiance army.

His actions were expected by Xue Yang early on, and the Tiance Army could be said to be ready at any time to follow Agule along the way. Therefore, almost when Agul's soldiers and horses just moved, Xue Yang on the side of the Tiance Army had already issued an order to attack, with Li Yang's fifteenth battalion as the front, the third battalion and the mountain battalion as the left and right flanks, and the two sides launched an earth-shattering battle more than a hundred miles south of Enzhou. Because Xue Yang's soldiers and horses had just been supplied, five ballistas were actually placed on the front of Li Yang at this moment, and one by one explosive bags were thrown into the sky in an instant, and the explosive bags filled with the latest generation of yellow explosives were extremely powerful, and after the explosion, they brought up a fiery red fireball, almost a dynamite bag could overturn a Bulwark brigade. At the beginning, Agul was stunned, although he bordered the Tang Empire on the northern front, and he also heard that the Tiance Army had a very mysterious weapon, which exploded with great power, but it didn't seem to be so powerful, right? And the other party obviously does not have many such weapons, but it has played a huge role, and because he is in a mountainous area, the troops are not concentrated, but even if the other party does not hit his own army, the sputtering caused by the explosion still makes his soldiers suffer heavy losses.

However, Agule was stunned, but Li Yang was not slow at all, almost the moment the explosive package exploded, the soldiers of the 15th battalion also rushed out brandishing their swords, taking advantage of the fact that the other party was dizzy and quickly crossed the middle line of the two armies and entered the opponent's large array. It can be said that this battle relied on explosives packs, in fact, Agul's front army was stunned, and it was only after the soldiers of the 15th Battalion rushed into the enemy formation that Agule woke up like a dream, quickly mobilized troops and horses to surround him, surrounded the 15th Battalion in the middle, and then encircled and suppressed inward, trying to completely wipe out the opponent in his open mouth.

This kind of pocket array anti-outflanking made Li Yang nod, Agule knew a lot more about the soldiers and horses than others. However, they will arrange a pocket array, and the two dragons out of the water array they arrange are actually pocket arrays, but what they are plotting is the entire army of the other party. Thinking of this, Li Yang no longer hesitated, in addition to letting the ballista behind him assist the fifteenth battalion to open the situation, he asked the guards to launch smoke rockets and notify the troops on the left and right flanks to accelerate into the battlefield.

Colorful smoke rockets across the sky means that this war has basically come to an end, the three most elite soldiers and horses of the Western Route Army are out together, it is no longer a matter of quantity, although these three troops were established at different times, but after a year of bloody battles, it is no longer a mere Qi people can resist. The three armies came out together and quickly counter-surrounded Agul's troops. Xue Yang and Xu Ying walked over from the side, not the slightest moved by the battle on the battlefield, and even walked directly in front of Li Yang, talked about where to camp at the next stop, and handed over all the command to the generals below.

"Marshal, I think we must speed up the whole army after this battle, otherwise the main force will need to face the main force alone. The people of Qiqi are located in the southwest, and there must be a lot of tricks, and they will do everything to poison them, and we are only afraid that it will be difficult to fight for a long time. Li Yang shook his head, disagreeing with this question.

However, Xu Ying smiled and said: "You don't understand what the commander means, do you know who is in charge of the command in the formation?" That's the son and son of the Great Chief of the Clan, you said that if we arrest him, the Chieftain of the Patriarch will not be in a hurry? Moreover, the reinforcements on the northern front were surrounded and annihilated by us halfway, which is equivalent to a lack of a new army, and the courage of the people will not be enough. When we release a few people, we will be able to disturb the morale of the army. ”

"In that case, why don't I go up and catch this guy." When Li Yang heard this, he pulled out his war knife and was about to step forward when he was grabbed by Xu Ying, and said with a smile: "Then you still need to do it?" I've already arranged it, so you'll see if you're all right. Xu Ying's words drew the eyes of the other two back to the battlefield, at this time the third battalion and the mountain battalion had rushed into the battlefield, and the Qiqi people were completely disrupted by this torrent-like advance, and the three-way army almost marched together to surround Agul's Chinese army, and a black-clothed squad in the mountain battalion team was particularly prominent, like a sharp arrow directly inserted into the opponent's large array, under the cover of the large army, as if entering a no-man's land.

"This can't be a squad modeled after the Eagle Brigade, right? Why is the combat power so strong? Xue Yang glanced at him in surprise and said thoughtfully: "This is my brother's killer weapon?" It seems that the combat power is really catching up with the Flying Eagle Brigade. ”

"I don't dare to think about chasing the Flying Eagle Brigade. But purely in terms of combat power, the difference is not far behind, and it is not as comprehensive as the Flying Eagle Brigade. Xu Ying shook his head and smiled: "The Flying Eagle Brigade is a team that can deal with all-terrain operations, not only combat power. ”

"But with them, at least we can make sure that the son of the Great Chief is captured alive." Li Yang didn't care so much, and put the long knife in his hand back into the scabbard and watched the final counterattack of the Qiqi people.

However, when Xue Yang surrounded and annihilated the northern front army of the Qiqi, Li Tianyi also drilled out of the mountain and came to the core garrison of the Qiqi people - Mazhou. However, it is obviously completely different from what Li Tianyi expected, this is not a city, but a large water village, relying on the Qingshui River, a tributary of the Jinsha River, by the mountains and rivers, the water village is layered on top of each other, stretching for several miles, and some of the villages are even built in the river. However, Li Tianyi took a general look, after all, the people of Qiqi still can't live completely in the water, and there are also many buildings on the mountains and river beach open spaces on both sides of the Qingshui River, many of which are also very tall, which should be the place where the nobles live.

It should have been a very pleasant mood when he came to this kind of place, but Li Tianyi had a solemn face, arranged for the troops to camp on the spot, and then sent a reconnaissance force to cooperate with Xuan Yingwei to go out to reconnoitre, to find out the terrain of this generation and the assembly location of the Qi troops. Because there are not many people hidden in the water village, it seems that the people of the water village should be lurking. Moreover, there was no news from Xue Yang in the north, and it was the best choice for Li Tianyi to stand still in this situation.

Due to the proximity to the battlefield, all the supplies after the troops camped were transported from the rear, and in order to prevent the Qiqi people from poisoning the water, they did not even dare to use the drinking water before the military doctor tested it. This aggrieved situation made many soldiers itch with hatred, and their eyes were red staring at the water village, thinking about when to start a fire and burn all the places down. It's just that these soldiers don't know, in the final battle later, Li Tianyi officially relied on this method to break through the water village in one fell swoop, and finally completely took down the Qiqi people.

Three days later, on the seventh day of the twelfth month of the second year of the Apocalypse, Li Tianyi finally found the traces of the Qiqi brigade, and these people were all hidden by the chief of the Qiqi in the mountains and valleys behind the water village. 100,000 people are densely packed in these mountains, this news makes Li Tianyi frown and say nothing, even if he has made arrangements in this old nest of the Qiqi people, he still can't compare with the ground snake. But before he could recover from the news, someone reported again that a messenger had come to see him.

"Are you here to surrender?" Li Tianyi waved his hand and asked the guards to bring the messenger in, and smiled bitterly at Li Shenfu beside him: "The other party is not planning to negotiate with us, right?" ”

Li Shenfu was originally a brave general, but he had learned a lot of battlefield strategies from Xue Yang after coming to the Western Route Army for so long, so he nodded when he heard Li Tianyi's question: "I think this is the case, the other party's army gathers but does not provoke, I am afraid that it will force us to make concessions." ”

"How do you know we can't beat them yet? Although my cavalry is useless, it is not much of a burden to fight against the horses, and this place has provoked me to burn down the water village with a fire. By the way, Brother Shenfu, you go to urge the logistics, don't they have a lot of oil in their hands? Send them all to me, and I won't believe that I can't burn them. Li Tianyi smiled viciously, and before he could think about how to set the fire, the guards outside the tent had already walked in with a few people dressed in costumes.

"Tell me, what are you plans for the Great Chief to send you over? Tou Cheng my Datang? Or are you planning to fight again? Li Tianyi sneered.

"No, no, the general misunderstood, I am not the messenger of the Great Chief, but the messenger of our Great Elder, the Elder asked me to negotiate with the General in the hope that the General's subordinates will be merciful, and he will find a way to make the Great Chief surrender to General Cheng." The envoy shook his head and continued: "I have been dependent on you Han people since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and as for today, I dare not have any different thoughts about the Central Dynasty, and the reason why the current situation is also instigated by the villain, I hope that the general will not blame the people of the Qi people." "This envoy Tang Yan said very slippery, and even Li Tianyi didn't know when it came to allusions, the history of this Qi Qi is so long, it can be traced back to the era of Emperor Wu.

In fact, it was originally the ancient country of Yelang, which was originally only a small tribe in Yunnan, and survived under the cracks of the Han army after many conquests in the Han Dynasty, and gradually became a major force in the southwest at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Originally, the leader of the Qi was not called the strange title of "Great Chief", and the title of the Great Chief was learned by the Qi from the Tibetan people.

However, Li Tianyi also roughly figured out the meaning of this envoy, nodded thoughtfully, it seems that there is also a split within the Qi people, this great elder seems to be ready to surrender, but Li Tianyi feels unreliable when he hears it, the Great Khan of Qi is in control of the military and political chieftain, what kind of great elder can persuade him? However, Li Tianyi did not refuse the other party, but only gave a time limit, stipulating a maximum of ten days, and if he did not respond within ten days, he would directly raise troops to attack.

After sending the envoy away, Li Tianyi and Li Shenfu discussed it for a while, and then found someone from Xuan Yingwei to find a way to inform Xue Yang, report the situation here, and report the actions of the Qi people as well.

It's just that what he may not know is that Xue Yang's messenger at this time is also officially on the road, ready to inform Li Tianyi of the situation on his side, and prepare to surround the Qi people.
