Chapter 359: Iron Hoof Treads Hebei

Since the Xia army has been in the south of Jizhou, the land of northern Hebei, which has been peaceful for several years, has once again fallen into turmoil. The Xia army rode on iron and ruthlessly trampled on the Hebei Plain, like locusts crossing the border, and not a single grass grows.

The Bohai Sea, Hejian and Zhongshan in northern Hebei are full of beacon fires, which are the hardest hit areas, and the people are displaced and flock to the south. Burning, killing, looting, looting, all of which were led by the army, all had one purpose, destruction, complete destruction.

On the shore of the Hutuo water, Wan Qian divided his troops again, scattered the Xia cavalry, and divided them into several branches, the big one was three or four thousand horsemen, and the small one was one or two thousand, and he led ten thousand horsemen and continued to the south. The richest land in Jizhou is still further south, and the soldiers are in Yecheng and drink the horse river, which is the goal of Wan Qianjin. Under the Modong Governor's Mansion, generals such as Ji Ji and Mica each led an army, and in this war of invasion and plunder, the brutality and wildness of Hu Qi were completely released.

Hejian County, Lecheng, a large field north of the county seat, Wan Qian Jinfang led the army to cross the water here, and it was hindered.

Xia rode south, such a big movement, the north of Hebei is erosive, the southern counties of Hebei have been rumored early, and everyone is in danger. Yan Liang, who was left in Jizhou by Yuan Shao, was originally depressed, and immediately led the Zhao army to ride north, blocking Wan Qian here.

The two armies confronted each other in formation, and the heaven and earth were filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere, and the autumn wind howled angrily, whining, blowing the flag, and the uproar was endless.

I looked up at the rising sun, and the rays of sunlight shone down, dispelling the chill of this late autumn. Wan Qian affectionately stroked the neck of his beloved horse under the seat, and the horse cooperated and made a few snorts.

He is nearly fifty years old, from a slave at the beginning, to a general of the Xia Kingdom today, a horse all his life, bloody battlefields, and fighting with his life to get this status. After Liu Yuan became the emperor, he continued to reward Wan Qianjian, worshiped the generals, and even several heirs also had titles and served in the imperial capital.

But Wan Qian is not satisfied, above him, there are too many heavy generals of the Xia Kingdom who are pressing him. Regardless of the rest, he was extremely dissatisfied with the servant's stubbornness. thinks that he is not weaker than him, and his resume is better than himself.

After fighting for so many years, the body has already passed its peak, and there have been outbreaks from time to time for many years. This time, Wan Qian is going to play another game of life, to take his Wan Qi clan to the next level, and to fight for his heirs to a glorious blessing.

This time, he led the army south, originally to build a great achievement, but the deeper he went into Youji, the more he felt the danger of this trip. At this moment, a lot has been accomplished, from Youzhou to this Jizhong, Zhao Guo has been disturbed and transparent. But the more this happened, the more cautious Wan became instead.

Zhao Qi on the opposite side, the army is neat and well-equipped, and it is a fine horse created by Yuan Shao with great effort.

"Youzhou Zhao Qi, I have seen it all these years, and it is indeed elite. I don't know how capable this Jizhou enemy rider is! Wan Qian looked at Zhao Jun and played with the taste. This tone is obviously underestimated, Youzhou Zhao Qi is constantly fighting with Xia Jun. As for the Jizhou cavalry, what the results of the training are, it has not been tested on the battlefield, and it is unknown.

"Father...... Governor! The eldest son, Wan Qijie, followed closely beside Wan Qijian, and in the face of his gaze, he quickly changed his words: "These enemy horses are flashy and unrealistic, and our army will definitely be able to break them in one fell swoop!" ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the surrounding terrain, the Xia army lined up near the water, and although the left and right were empty, they were forced here. Zhao Jun has his back to the city, although the ups and downs are not very large, but from a distance, it can be clearly seen that Zhao is condescending to Xia Nai.

According to the previous combat policy, Wan Qianjin was unwilling to have too much entanglement with the soldiers and horses of the Zhao army, but the large army crossed, and the enemy approached at the right time.

"The whole army obeys the order! To the west! Wan Qian said coldly. His face was cold, and the scars on his face were wrinkled and raised, which made it even more terrifying with his vicious countenance.

Orders were issued layer by layer, and under the leadership of officers at all levels, the horses turned, slowly started, and galloped westward. These 10,000 horsemen, more than half of them are soldiers under the Modong Governor's Mansion, all of them are elite, and their execution is not low.

In the Zhao army formation in the south, Yan Liangju was in the battle formation, and when he saw the movement of the Xia army, he was stunned and raised his left hand: "Listen to the order!" ”

"Assault the whole army and intercept the Xia army!"

The Chinese army ordered the flag to wave, and General Yuan Jun, after receiving the order, also followed the drive of the war horse and attacked the Xia army. At the beginning, the Youzhou generals were all in the army, and there were many Youzhou knights.

Yan Liang stared at Xia Jun with both eyes, although he was far away, Wan Qianjin's goal was obvious. The words of fierce morale have already been said, and at this time, he just wants to have a good fight, so that this dry Hu Lu knows that Da Zhao Tieqi is powerful.

These days, there were endless refugees in northern Hebei, and the evil deeds of the Xia army spread to the south, which made Yan Liang hate them deeply.

Xia Qi moved first, ran west with all his strength, walked in a straight line, Zhao Jun tried his best to intercept diagonally, regardless of the horsepower of the foot, Yuan Jun wanted to catch up, but it was difficult.

The leader ran wildly, paying attention to Zhao Jun's movements, and seeing that he was really in hot pursuit, Wan Qijian's body fluctuated, revealing a calm smile.

Seeing that the straight-line distance between the two sides was gradually getting farther away, Wan Qijin immediately ordered: "Turn!" ”

He personally led the Chinese army to change direction to the south, and the cavalry on both wings also followed closely in the south, and the high-speed direction was in the middle direction, and this formation was delayed. Yan Liang in the back originally couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Xia Jun, and was a little anxious, but suddenly saw Xia Jun's change of direction, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly urged Zhao Qi to go west in a straight line, wanting to hit Xia Qi's back.

The fish was hooked, and Xia Qi ran south under the leadership of Wan Qijian, and went around this circle, but let Zhao Qi slowly approach. Estimating the distance, he directly ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”

The scene of 10,000 horsemen throwing is so spectacular, and riding and shooting is Xia Qi's forte. The dense arrows broke through the air and fell towards the rushing Zhao army. Yan Liang was in front, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he ordered to be careful.

But in this case, there is no need for any accuracy, and the Zhao cavalry at the front was shot down by two or three hundred people with only one wave of arrows, and was crushed into minced meat by the backward war horses.

Xia Qi unleashed a total of three rounds of arrow rain, completely disrupting the Zhao army's formation, and he couldn't chase it. Glancing contemptuously at Zhao Qi on the side, Wan Qian accelerated and rushed south. He always keeps his goal in mind, and easily does not fight, and from now on he breaks through, and he will not give Zhao Qi such a chance to block himself like this.

Seeing that Xia Qi was gradually moving away, Yan Liang spent some effort to straighten out the soldiers and horses. Glancing at the hundreds of soldiers who had fallen around him, he was full of anger, what a good Zhao Qierlang, he was shot so aggrieved.

But I also have to admit that compared with Xia Qi, there is still a gap in Jizhou riding.

and a little unwilling, his Chinese army of 3,000 Zhao cavalry, all of them are equipped with short crossbows, although they are advantageous, but the range is too short. Yan Liang's previous plan was to get close to Xia Qi and give Xia Jun a blow, but unfortunately before he entered the firing range, he was shot by Xia Jun with cavalry shooting.

"General! What are we going to do? "Thousands of generals asked Yan Liangdao.

"Chase! The Xia army must not be allowed to invade southern Hebei, otherwise how to treat Zhao Gong! Yan Liang said immediately.

With a loud roar, he wiped the sweat on his head, and led the army to follow Xia Qinan's trail. In addition, light cavalry was sent to warn the southern counties, and the summer cavalry arrived.
