After leaving the Yizhou Plain, there are thousands of peaks and ravines, and there are many deep mountains and poor forests as far as you can see. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Li Sheng was very worried about the chaotic pre-battle preparations of the Jiannan Army, so he always tensed his heartstrings, for fear of being ambushed or sneak attacked by the enemy, but fortunately, he was quite stable along the way.

During the march, Li Sheng heard that the king of Fengxin, Absi, had arrived in Yizhou with 20,000 Tongluo cavalry, which would be the main force in the conquest of Nanzhao.

Before the Battle of Stone Castle, Li Sheng had seen Absi several times outside the big tent in Geshuhan, and knew that he was slick and not a person who had the courage to take responsibility, and it was very strange why he would work so hard for Yang Guozhong.

When they arrived at the north bank of the Dadu River, the rain was heavy, the wind was high and the waves were urgent, and the 5,000 soldiers of the pioneer battalion had no choice but to set up camp and wait for the rain to pass and the sky would clear.

Li Sheng, who had lived in Longyou for a long time, was not well adapted to such wet and stuffy weather, and his mount Qinghai Cheng was also getting haggard in the hot rain, so he came to the stable to add food to his foal.

"Brother is really here!" Nan Jiyun's cheers interrupted Li Sheng's reverie.

"Nanba, what are you looking for?" Li Sheng smiled and turned his head to look at Nan Jiyun, who was dashing and uninhibited, and suddenly remembered Liu Poyu, who was far away in Longyou.

"Big brother, we have nothing to do, it's just that the rainy day is too boring, and we want to ask the eldest brother for advice on the way of the military formation, but we find that the camp tent is empty. Nanba said that the eldest brother was concerned about Qinghai Cong, and he would definitely be in the stable. Lei Wanchun, who had a big waist and a round waist, waved the eight-sided mace that never left his hand, and the urn sounded and the urn said.

"Thank you two younger brothers for your concern, Qinghai Cong's appetite is getting better and better, and he will be ready to go into battle in a few days." The concern of the brothers made Li Sheng's warm current surge: "A few days ago, I asked the veterans of Jiannan, and they all said that Nanzhao was rainy. Our army may not be adaptable, but the enemy is handy, and we must strictly prevent the Nanzhao army from stealing the camp. ”

"Brother, rest assured, Zhenyuan'er Langjia will not leave his body, the knife will not leave his hand, and the bright post and secret sentry are all available. It's just that not all the soldiers in the big camp are so vigilant. "Nan Jiyun is meticulous and exquisite, and he has long been familiar with all departments of the pioneer battalion.

"Li Bingma has tried his best, but Jiannan has been peaceful for a long time, the armament is sparse, and it is far from the strong troops in the northwest border town." Recalling the fierce strong army under the command of the marshal, Li Sheng really didn't look down on the Jiannan Army.

In order to prevent the children of Zhenyuan from being sent to death in vain, Li Sheng has been concentrating on pondering the war in Jiannan. He found that since the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan (738), after Pi Luoge unified the six edicts with the support of the Tang Dynasty, the southern edict assisted the Jiannan army to block the road of Tubo's eastward invasion, and the southwest border had a good life of not knowing the military revolution for more than ten years.

Li Sheng listened to the marshal chant the truth of "born in sorrow and died in peace", but Ma Fang Nanshan's erosion of the combat strength of the Jiannan Army still shocked him. It is a good thing that the four seas are peaceful, but if the soldiers guarding the frontier are unbearable, how long can the peace last?

"Woo woo woo", a terrible horn suddenly rose into the air in the camp, disturbing the curtain of rain.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! As soon as the soldiers on duty yelled a few times, they turned into several dead bodies and fell from the watchtower. What followed was a dense rain of arrows and untraceable poisonous needles, and the panic of crying fathers and mothers near the south gate of the camp immediately came and went.

"Quick! Take all the horses with you and go back to the camp to summon the true source to meet the enemy. Li Sheng threw off his coat, waved his knife to cut off Qinghai Cong's horse rope, quickly set up the saddle, turned over the horse, and patted the neck of his beloved horse: "I'm tired!" ”

Qinghai Cheng felt the master

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) of the high-spirited fighting spirit, hissing long, four hooves like the wind, straight to the camp of the Zhenyuan cavalry. While riding his horse and galloping, Li Sheng listened to distinguish the distance and strength of the enemy's arrow rain.

Nan Jiyun took off his longbow, bent his bow and arrows, shot several rows of tied horse ropes, jumped on his mount, and followed Li Sheng out of the stable. When he was galloping, he did not forget to pull the bowstring to protect Li Sheng's left flank; Lei Wanchun, who was running vigorously, clutched the iron shovel tightly, beckoning the war horses of the light cavalry to follow, and firmly attached to Li Sheng's right side like an iron tower. The three brothers who had a tacit understanding practiced according to their usual practice, and naturally put on a triangular formation that could be attacked and defended.

After passing through the chaotic camp, when Li Sheng rushed back to the camp of his team, the Zhenyuan cavalry team had already bowed and stabbed at his waist and held his shield high, and spontaneously finished plating.

Li Sheng nodded with satisfaction, took the horse lance, bow and arrow and shield handed by his subordinates, and roared loudly: "Get on the horse!" Queue up the long snake formation, out of the north gate! The wind and rain are like obscurity, the big river is difficult to cross, and there are not many enemy troops; The enemy is coming from the south, and the southern camp will be in chaos. Our team went out of the north gate, bypassed the camp from the east, and attacked the enemy with their backs, and we were sure to win! Zhenyuan Erlang, do you dare to charge with someone? ”

"Dare! Dare! Dare! The Zhenyuan athletes all knew that Li Sheng had been on the battlefield for a long time and had extraordinary knowledge, so they all stood up and shouted.

"Rush! When you see someone who stands in the way of our team, you will be dispersed from friends and foes! Those who are willing to go out of the camp with our team to kill can be listed at the end of the team, but they must not mess with our army formation! Li Sheng is familiar with the way of battle and knows that the biggest difference between the army of a hundred battles and the guerrilla is whether they can fight in formation.

One rider takes the lead, and dozens of riders follow. Under the leadership of Li Sheng, the Zhenyuan Light Cavalry was like a light boat going upstream, passing through the chaotic camp and crossing the north gate. On the road, there were those who collided and blocked the road, either being swept away by Li Sheng's horse lance, or being dispersed by Lei Wanchun's eight-edged mace. Some soldiers who had not lost their blood and qi found that the True Source Light Horse Array was majestic and in danger, so they rode or walked and followed behind to keep themselves safe.

In front of the Chinese army's tent, Jiannan's soldiers and horses made Li Mi stand in the smoke and rain, listening to a series of bad news reported by Jiannanya's soldiers, and was annoyed.

Li Mi served as the envoy of soldiers and horses for many years before serving as the Taishou of Yunnan and was Zhang Qiantuo's predecessor. The primary duty of Yunnan Taishou is to restrain Nanzhao, so he is familiar with the military and political affairs of Nanzhao's border defense, and he has a good relationship with Yunnan Wangge Luofeng, which can be described as a confidant and friend. Li Mi was too punctual for Yunnan, and the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao were also repeatedly troubled by the land of Erhai and the benefits of Yanjing, but he focused on joining forces to resist the overall situation of Tibet, and worked with Ge Luofeng to resolve several turmoil.

At that time, Xian Yuxiang, who was the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, proposed that Zhang Qiantuo take over as Yunnan Taipunctu, but Li Mi was not overjoyed by the promotion, but could not sleep and had hidden worries. He is familiar with Jiannan's characters, and he is quite worried about whether the impatient and lustful Zhang Qiantuo can handle the relationship with Nanzhao. For this reason, Li Mi once privately reminded Xian Yuxiang, but there was only one sentence of reply: "This is Yang Shilang's meaning!" ”

The consequences were as Li Mi was worried about, and Zhang Qiantuo, who was so cowardly, actually bullied Ge Luofeng and fornicated with Princess Nanzhao, which triggered Nanzhao's monstrous anger. The fierce Ge Luofeng raised an army to kill Zhang Qiantuo, and took advantage of the situation to capture 32 Yizhou.

Li Mi was worried about the bad relations between the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao, and took the initiative to ask Xian Yu for help, wanting to go to Taihe City to meet Ge Luofeng in person, release the previous suspicions, and calm the war. But his enthusiasm was met with sneering and sneering.

In Xian Yuxiang's eyes, Nanzhao is just a barbarian, and tens of thousands of troops can destroy his country. But Lee

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Mi knows that after the unification of the six edicts, Pi Luo Ge and Ge Luo Feng have worked hard for more than ten years, and the Nanzhao has become a powerful feudal domain in the southwest with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which cannot be humiliated. Xian Yuxiang's rash attitude of hearing about the war made Li Mi more and more uneasy, and made him wonder if there was something else behind the outbreak of the war in Jiannan.

Last summer, with the vigorous support of Yang Guozhong, a squire of the Ministry of War, Xian Yuxiang captured countless Ding Zhuang from Gyeonggi and inland prefectures and counties, gathered 80,000 soldiers and horses, and tried in vain to level Nanzhao and conquer Taihe City. At the beginning of the war, the Jiannan army was like a bamboo, recovering 32 Yizhou, attacking the bank of the Xi'er River, and Ge Luofeng also sent an envoy to sue for peace.

Li Mi tried his best to persuade Xian Yuxiang to accept the surrender of Nanzhao, but Xian Yuxiang, who was greedy for merit, ordered the Nanzhao envoy to be beaten out of chaos in order to be crowned king, forcing Ge Luofeng to fall to Tubo.

Under the attack of the combined forces of Tubo and Nanzhao, the Jiannan army was defeated, losing 60,000 or 70,000 men and horses, and almost the entire army was annihilated. Although he hated Xian Yu Xiang and misled the country, Li Mi still protected him in the chaos and fled back to Yizhou.

Li Mi thought that Xian Yuxiang would be belittled or punished by the saint for losing the battle, but who knew that Yang Guozhong would steal the day and gently cover up Xian Yuxiang's sins. Hou Xian Yu took the initiative to ask for the resignation of the Jiannan Jiedu envoy, Li Mi thought that the Jiannan war might improve, but Yang Guozhong, who led the Jiannan Jiedu envoy from afar, obviously wanted to go all the way to the black and continue to conquer Nanzhao. Cui Yuanze, the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu and the future affairs of Jiannan, is as his name suggests, and he is extremely sleek, but Yang Guozhong's order is obeyed, and he does not consider pulling Nanzhao back to the list of vassals.

Now he once again led the troops to the border realm of Tang Zhao to cross the river, although Li Mi repeatedly ordered his generals to take strict precautions, but after the defeat last year, the few combatable soldiers in the Jiannan army were exhausted, and the newly formed army was rushed to promote the army except for one or two considerable, which was useless. And Ge Luofeng obviously knew that Jiannan was fine, and without hesitation, he sent soldiers and horses to steal the camp and caught the 5,000 vanguard battalion by surprise.

Li Mi judged from the sound of the enemy's attack that there were not many enemies, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers of Jiannan Ya and the army to reorganize the ranks and restrain the soldiers who bombed the camp. Helplessly, the recruits were in a hurry, tossing for a long time, and the camp was a little safe, but they were still powerless to resist the enemy.

"Soldiers and horses, there is a team of light cavalry running away from the north gate, do you need to send someone to chase after you?" A tooth soldier said urgently. In the Jiannan army, there were fewer cavalry and more steps, so the upper and lower sides paid special attention to the movement of the cavalry.

"Can you see the flag?" Li Mi was displeased.

"It seems to be the true source light horse, and the first rider is Li Sheng."

"Li Sheng!? This son is loyal and brave, and he should not do it for this! Li Mi was a little puzzled: "Forget it, the enemy attack is very urgent, I can't take care of a light cavalry, and we will discuss it after the battle." Can the soldiers and horses in the battalion cope with the battle? ”

"The south gate has been breached by the enemy, but fortunately, the regiment has been assembled and is fighting with the enemy. It's just that the enemy's poisonous arrows are very sharp and can't be guarded against. ”

"There are many strange flowers and poisonous insects in Nanzhao, but fortunately, their arrow clusters are not sharp, and poisonous needles cannot penetrate the armor, so you can carefully protect your face, neck, hands, etc." Li Mi hurriedly reminded the tooth soldiers to go down and know about the army.

At the south gate of the camp, the sword Nan soldier who was holding a hundred refining horizontal swords and the Nanzhao soldier who wielded the quenching poison blade fought together, and the combat strength of the two sides was not far apart, and there were casualties among each other. Behind the Nanzhao sergeant, a group of barbarian warriors with broken hair and tattoos held blowguns and shot poisonous needles at the gaps in the array of the Southern Army. Once the Tang sergeant who could not dodge was hit, he immediately suffocated to death.
