and the north-central part of the Liaodong Peninsula.

As the pioneer of this way, the seed master also rode a horse and led the team out of the reckless mountains.

I can see the capital of Jian'an Prefecture in the distance, and the Jian'an City (now south of Yingkou, Liaoning), which stands on the large undulating slopes of Shicheng Mountain, is already in sight.

This place is also known as Goryeo Mountain Fortress. Because with the demise of Goguryeo and the end of the reign of King Quan Gaozang to Chang'an, the last remnants of resistance in the territory were entrenched in a corner of the country and became independent.

"What a great place......

He couldn't help but sigh loudly.

"There are not only natural mountains and rivers, but also fertile wilderness......"

Judging from the city system of Jian'an City alone, it is an irregular circle, the middle is the valley, the surrounding is built with the city wall because of the danger of the mountain, most of them are built with stones, some of them are built with rammed earth, and the steep place uses the stone cliff as a wall, and the circumference is more than five kilometers. There are three city gates, one water gate, and four dangerous places are expected.

And there is a small hill protruding in the city, which is commonly known as Jindian Mountain in the local area, which is the location of the official residence of the government office, and is a small inner city that is condescending and self-contained.

To the west of the mountain city is the waves of the Bohai Sea behind the scattered hills along the coast, and to the east and south are the longing and steep mountains that are stacked on top of each other.

In front of the mountain castle, there is a large fan-shaped open valley that extends northward, and the green and green patches of fertile fields and villages stretch along the broad coastline to the horizon. Just by visual inspection, I am afraid that there is not a depth of more than two or three hundred miles.

And the thoroughfare, which runs from all directions, is at the head of the city at the southern end of this large valley, and it can be easily blocked and blocked with a little care.

Therefore, this place is also closed or entering the Liaodong Peninsula, and the last danger and obstacle is passed.

After the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo and took the whole territory, one of the nine governors under the jurisdiction of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate was also established here, and the Anzhou Governor's Mansion was established. At the head of the main line, he was in charge of the affairs of the various territories on the entire peninsula in the south.

And the blue horse-headed flag on behalf of Anton Da Luo is still hanging on the head of the city, which is undoubtedly a lot more reassuring.

Therefore, the planter continued to explain.

"Let people turn around and tell Ning Bing to make a ......"

"The grain platform of this army has been ......"

Because, this time, the person who was responsible for leading this group of people to the north to help was some little-known Fifth Soldier and Horse Envoy Ning Zhiyuan.

Although compared with the previous four veteran main battle battalions with prefixes, such as "Zhongliu, Grinding Iron, Flying Yellow, and Striking Attack", the fifth battalion he brought out had much shorter qualifications, and it was still a battalion established in Songzhou during the Northern Expedition.

But in terms of his personal qualifications, he is an out-and-out old soldier, even before the first soldier and horse envoy Feng Roll Flag, the second soldier and horse envoy Zhang Lizheng, and the fourth soldier and horse envoy Yang Zaixing, and the deputy commander Han Liangchen's military year is similar.

Before Luo Shuai rose outside the mountains, he was the general of the Guan Guining clan, and he was the head of the cavalry guard of Ning Chongxuan, the head of the southeast road recruitment department, and was ordered to lead a team to escort his wife Chen to the south.

Then he met Luo Shuai and his party, and fought side by side all the way to the southeast and even Guangfu. Later, due to the compulsion and strong demand of a certain situation, he temporarily transferred to the command of Luo to participate in training and training troops, and since then he has formed a deep relationship with his army.

Later, after the Battle of Meishan Xingguan, he was instructed and requested by the original master, and then he swore allegiance to Luo Shuai, and began to experience various experiences in the predecessor and formation period of the Huaidong Army.

Therefore, he is also one of the few cavalry officers in the Huaidong Army who belongs to the sequence of the Old Southern Dynasties; Therefore, his subordinates also brought a certain style and color of the cavalry of the Southern Dynasties;

For example, it is known for its general ability to ride and use the mobility of riding horses to evolve various tactical changes, and was once known as a model and model for all infantry teams.

Of course, this also reflects the helpless status quo of the left wing of the new army in the early days of the army. Because in most cases, the cavalry of the Southern Dynasty did not have much advantage over the horse teams of the Upper North. Therefore, more often than not, they are emphasized and become quite footmen, and take the initiative to dismount and form a formation to meet the enemy, so as to give full play to their strengths.

Thus, in the early days when there was a severe shortage of professional cavalry, he and his troops were often used as mobile units for breaking and winging, or as guerrilla and response reserves.

Although in terms of achievements and fame, it is not as powerful as the old battalion with those words, but it is also a veteran tour with high hard work.

Therefore, after setting up a separate army and horses, the riding power is also strengthened, and compared with other mules and horses, it has more and larger proportions of livestock and horses to meet and realize the corresponding tactical needs and combat styles.

It can be said that this is the best and most advantageous way in terms of mobility and range of activity among the six routes of soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of the Huaidong Envoy, so this time he undertook a series of tasks on the Liaodong Peninsula and randomly went north.

Therefore, if the breeder wants to make some achievements and fame, he has to rely on and cooperate with him.

Then, he said to the messenger of Luo Fan, who had gone through a long journey and was already tired

"When you have a good deal with the city, leave a team to plan for the ...... later"

"The others continue to follow me north......"

"Your Majesty, can you still ...... it?"

"Do you need to stay with the team to ......rest and recuperate?"

"That's fine, don't bother anymore......"

The Luo Fan messenger, who looked quite young, hurriedly cheered up

"At the moment, the military situation is still urgent, and everything is still based on helping my family......"

"Then the corresponding bondage and servitude, please entrust the envoy to ......"

The planters also unceremoniously beat the snake with the stick.

"Of course......"

The messenger nodded helplessly,

"Please rest for a moment...... General"

Then he galloped away, surrounded by a small group of cavalry.

The men and horses of the first battalion, which were the vanguard troops, also under the influence of certain habits and discipline carved into the bones, barely made much noise or movement, snuggled up to rest and chewed bean cakes and hay blocks, and with mutual help, they seized the time to drink water and eat dry food, inspected each other's armament and equipment, and completed the rest and recuperation process in a short and hurried manner.

In the distance, there was a commotion and noise in the wind. Then he saw the company of messengers fleeing back from the city gates, some of them in a hurry.

There was even a small group of dozens of horsemen chasing after them.

"How do we deal with ourselves......"

At this time, a team general who was in charge of the perimeter guard couldn't help but ask for instructions from the planter.

"Of course, send someone to intercept and answer ......"

There is no hesitation in the way of the planter

"The reputation of this town is not won by the profit of the tongue" "But try to leave as much as possible to keep a living mouth, so that you can discern the situation......"

The battle of interception came and went as fast as it came, and it was only a three-stage volley of fires that knocked down most of the pursuing enemy, and then the hunters began to put an end to it.

"This is a rebellion, and the city of Jian'an has been occupied by rebels......"

The tooth grinned at the three arrow shafts that had been cut off from his body, and picked out the arrows to bandage the proper messenger, and said with some hatred.

"As soon as I report the order of the feudal lord......"

"The other party didn't even want to check, so he ordered the arrows to be fired......"

You know, as a child of his own family, how could he be treated like this in his own territory

However, after torturing the captives who could be killed and brought back, the news was a little frowned. Because those who came out of the city did not think that they were rebelling or rebelling at all, but were ordered to hunt down the unscrupulous people who falsely passed on the orders of the feudal lords.

As a result, either a handful of treacherous and evil spirits in the middle and upper echelons of the city have deceived the majority; Either they really don't know about it and are misled. But in any case, this result is not a good thing for him. completely

However, the planter also noticed another thing from this,

"You're saying that to those in the city, the army hasn't been exposed?"

A bold idea suddenly flashed in the planter's heart, but he hesitated again. After all, he is the commander of the vanguard unit, and if he loses too much or delays too much here, it is an extraneous act and corresponding responsibility.

However, when the division went out on an expedition, whether it was from the consideration of the supply of grain or the stability maintained in the rear, it was impossible to casually let go of this key and key point out of the mountainous areas of the peninsula.

It's just that the originally expected internal support operation has turned into a tough battle that needs to be attacked, and the difficulty and situation have unconsciously become more complicated. Is it safest to wait for the rear team to come to converge?

But it also means that he, the vanguard unit, is useless and meritorious. And this move may be very implicated, and even affect the overall layout of Dao to that town commander and Anton......

"Please also ask the general to help me ......"

At this time, the messenger said in a deep voice with some gritted teeth

"It can't be like this......"

Among the seed masters who were interrupted from their thoughts, they looked at him with some surprise in their hearts, is there such a person who took the initiative to invite the allies to attack the cities in his territory, this is really.

"I don't know how your envoy planned it......"

He said quietly.

"Now that the army is out with the vassals, the defenders in Liaodong are limited after all......"

The courier whispered

"It seems that in Jian'an Prefecture, there are only more than 1,000 soldiers...... The rest are all recruited from Ding Zhuang."

"As long as you can take the city gate by surprise, then everything will be fine......"

The word surprise finally touched a certain mind in the planter.

Soon after, it was like some kind of repeating the mistakes of the past. After the reorganization, the brigade chased a small group of embarrassed cavalry and fled back to Jian'an City.

After a while, black smoke and fire suddenly appeared from the city gate, which had not had time to be completely closed, and the chaotic city was also jumping around.

Then, the seed division was able to stand on the head of the city of Jian'an Prefecture and watch the defenders who were under the supervision of the Huai soldiers, cleaning up all kinds of obstacles and traces of battle.

"That's too weak, isn't it?"

"It's such a mountain town with the danger of a gatekeeper"

"As soon as someone blocked the door and rushed, it already collapsed on its own......"

"Lao Tzu hasn't done much yet......"

Although this came from the mouths of the soldiers under his command, it was also his most intuitive feeling. Could it be that he has lived in the rear for a long time and is peaceful, and the soldiers and civilians of the city have long been so slack and defenseless.

"The Promise is ......"

A sergeant walked up to him and whispered.

"The mouths of the guards and acting officials in the city came out of ......"

"Everyone said that it was an order from Liaodong City......"

"Strictly guard against the orders of foreign armies pretending to be feudal lords and sneaking ...... attack on the territory"

"And for this reason, we have been recruiting and arming a large number of young and strong ...... many days ago."

"What the hell is this......"

As the deputy of the seed master, Bei General Luo Dayou couldn't help but complain.

"Obviously, it was Luo Fan who asked us to send troops, and it was Luo Fan who stopped and prevented us......"

"Is this going to continue, city after city......"
