Chapter 27: The Battle of Gwangjong (2)

The weather of Youyan is a little strange, spring, summer, autumn and winter all year round, and it seems to have become two seasons here, except for the cold wind and howling snow day is the hot summer. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, this August is a summer day, in the 24 solar terms. It means that summer is over and the heat is hiding. But God doesn't mean to let the sun avoid it at all.

The blazing sun was still scorching the land of Youyan, and on the official road from Pingcui Mountain to Yecheng, several horsemen and horses were wrapped in leather armor and cavalry galloped through.

In the distance, three or two peasants with hoes hurriedly flashed to both sides of the road, and one of them, a young and strong young man, looked at the cavalry who had gone away in armor, with bows and crossbows on the right, knives and guns on the left, and the knights on the horses each had three flags behind their backs, and the people were like dragons and horses, and rushed to the end of the line of sight with a roar. Leave behind dust that will not be calmed down for a long time.

Ahem...

The young man choked on the dust, coughed and thought to the old man beside him:

Dad, the cavalry of General Pingcui Shanma is out of the camp again, is there something wrong again.

The old man next to him looked up, and the cavalry who was far away reached out and took out the dry tobacco pouch pinned to the back of his waist, and took two puffs slowly with flint:

It is the herald of the clear road exploration, and there are spies and pioneers of the brigade behind him, and it seems that General Ma has made a big move this time.

After the old man finished speaking, he took two sharp puffs and spewed out thick smoke.

Dad, look, how about I go to join the army, a sword and a gun to win a military feat. Earning some reward money will also allow you and your mother to live a good life in the future.

The old man stared blankly at the branches and leaves above his head: What's the matter, I'm tired of staying at home!?

It's not, it's just... It's just that...

The old man didn't speak, he knew what his son meant, Youyan has been a hero since ancient times, especially when it is close to Hudi, and the people are fierce. Good men want to go out and break through. But he has his own ideas, he and his wife only have such a son, and the family is passed down for several generations...

The old man spat vigorously, and his fingers full of cracks twisted the cigarette pot as if he wanted to kill his son's longing eyes. And the thick cheek on his hand made the old man no longer feel the burning pain of Mars:

Wait, when General Ma comes back this time, I'll let you join the army. It's time for our old Han family's ancestral hall to be replaced.

The old man picked up the basket on his back, picked up the farm tools with his arms full of green tendons, and walked away by himself.

Father... Father..

The young man still doesn't understand, listen to his father's words, General Ma is about to go on the expedition, this is the time to employ people, isn't it the time for his martial arts to serve, why wait for him to come back...

Whining~

As the old man expected, the old man didn't take a few steps, and a low and loud military horn sounded in the Pingcui Mountain camp not far away, followed by the vanguard cavalry team of fifty horsemen with the banner of "Youzhou Captain - Horse".

The vanguard was followed by a thousand light horsemen who rushed out of the camp under the leadership of a green-robed general, and then there were infantry with guns, crossbows, two-handed swords and shields, pouring out endlessly.

Whining~

The bugle sounded again.

Knock Dong ~ In the low and powerful drumming sound, rows of chariots pulled by horses drove out.

The car was seven feet long and had two wheels. In the middle of each wheel protrudes a huge spine, five feet long, all over the tooth mouth.

There were five knights on each chariot, one standing in the middle with a rein, with his back to a banner, and two warriors on the left and right sides of the chariot, each with a halberd, a great sword, a bow, two pots of arrows, and three spears.

There were twenty or thirty chariots in a row, followed by a few trombones.

I saw a large number of pack horses pouring out of the barracks, carrying all kinds of ordnance and rations.

The bugle sounded again...

Another squad of cavalry

.....

The young man on the side of the road was almost stunned, since he was a child, he had never seen such a spectacular scene. Although Youzhou relies on Wuhuan, Wuhuan, as a subordinate of the Han Dynasty in the past hundred years, has never fought with the Han Dynasty. After Liu Yan arrived, he weakened the defense of the army even more. Even the trouble in front of the Yellow Turban was quelled by Ma Xiu early, and it failed to harm Youzhou, so this young man surnamed Han, although he was born in the frontier, has never seen a big battle.

At this time, being able to watch such a majestic soldier line up and walk in front of him, and he couldn't see the end for half an hour in a row, the stimulation of the light and strong surname Han can be imagined.

Until the end, how he returned home in a daze, and what his parents told him when he returned home, Han surnamed Qingzhuang doesn't remember.

And slowly in my mind are teams of ironclad guards, and chariots with magnificent faces.

Ignore what Han surnamed Qingzhuang is thinking, what kind of collision will he have with Matthew in the future. To put it simply, what Matthew is facing is already the latest in the surging tide of Matthew since he came to this plane.

Since Taishou Liu Yan received a message from Beizhonglang's general Lu Zigan, Ma Xiu half-accepted the request of most of the squires in Youzhou and decided to send troops to assist Lu Zhi and keep Zhang Jiao out of the gate of Youzhou.

Matthew also has no reason to refuse, first, the great master Lu Zhi, who is popular at home, asks for advice, but he can't refuse in public or private; The second is that Matthew himself is extremely eager to see the best of the princes in the Han Dynasty today, if he can't dominate the court, stir up the storm, and just want to live, then what's the point.

And there is another one, Yecheng is already very close to Youzhou. Before Matthew had fully grown up, he categorically refused to let the Yellow Turban Army enter Youzhou.

As a result, the Pingcui Mountain camp was recuperated and replenished after more than two months. Ma Xiu led an army of more than 15,000 people and walked towards Yecheng in a mighty manner.

On the one hand, he sent a sergeant to Yecheng with Liu Yan's handwritten letter to contact Lu Zhi. On the one hand, a large number of scouts were sent to investigate the military intelligence reports in the area from Yecheng to Guangzong.

The army marched, Guan Yu took the lead, Zhang Fei was behind, and Su Shuang was in the center. In a few days, I arrived near the left side of Yecheng.

The army marched another hundred and ten miles, listening to each other's Malay reports in front, and Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhonglang, sent a messenger to give orders. ordered Ma Xiu to camp on the spot, and went to Yecheng to discuss military aircraft.

When marching and fighting, the most important thing is to order and prohibit. What's more, the person who came was a benevolent gentleman whom he had always respected. Without saying a word, Ma Xiu ordered Su Shuang to arrange camping. He took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead five hundred sergeants and went straight to Lu Zhi's Chinese army camp.

This time, the wind and clouds will meet, the dragon enters the sea, and the blue sea and blue sky are only allowed to travel.!
