Chapter 259: Journey West

In this early spring day, when the mountains and rivers are gradually cracked by frost, the melting snow layer turns into a thick water vapor and blows with the wind, and the smell of warm grass and soil can already be smelled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Although the shade of some mountains is still cold, the power of the cold is gradually exhausted. The warm snow water from the morning sun flowed down the valley, melting the hard snow layer, breaking through the ice surface of the mountain stream, and the sound of the flowing water became louder and louder, rushing towards the riverbed.

Luo Zhaoyun had already received a secret edict and military order from Emperor Yang of Sui, and agreed to his application for sending troops, planning to mobilize 100,000 troops to attack Tuyuhun in April after the beginning of spring.

Of course, Luo Zhaoyun did not simply attack by force, but with diplomatic cooperation.

Yang Guang sent Pei Shiju to enter the Western Regions through the Turkic steppe to win over Gaochang, Yiwu and other countries, harass the borders of Tuyuhun, and persuaded Gaoche to attack Tuyuhun with 30,000 iron cavalry, and achieved a certain victory, forcing Tuyuhun's army to move eastward, which created an opportunity for Luo Zhaoyun to send troops.

Outside Linqiang City, the army was lined up into a phalanx, and Luo Zhaoyun dispatched troops, reprimanded Fang Xuan, and directed 100,000 troops on the battlefield.

The most striking thing is the vanguard army of 30,000, all of which are iron horsemen, armed with spears, horizontal knives hanging from their waists, and short bows on their backs, and are well-equipped. The commander of this vanguard army is none other than Li Jing.

He was dressed in double long brown, covered with silver fish scale armor, with an iron helmet on his head, his head held high, sitting majestically on a green horse, with an extraordinary demeanor and majestic charm, Li Jing, who was close to his forties, finally ushered in the first reuse in his life, and his heart was full of emotion, and he was very grateful to Luo Zhaoyun for his kindness and brotherhood.

"Soldiers, Tuyuhun has repeatedly harassed the border passes, invaded my territory, and blocked the Silk Road between the Great Sui and the Western Regions. Conquer Tuyuhun and raise my great Sui majesty! ā€

"Majestic wind! Majestic Wind! Majestic wind -- "Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted together, and suddenly formed a strong masculine wind, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

"Let's go!"

Luo Zhaoyun waved his hand and let the vanguard set off first, and the army moved and rumbled, especially the heavy armored cavalry, there were three thousand people, the mounts were wrapped in heavy harnesses, and the saddles were connected by iron chains, and the first few rows of knights were all armed with five-meter spears, fully reloaded, and used for frontal impact.

Li Jing was the chief general of the vanguard army, the deputy generals Guo Xiaoke and Zhang Jun were the right-hand men, Hou Junji was the captain, and the rest of Mei Changfeng and several others were promoted to centurions.

The vanguard army was mighty, first breaking through the border fortress, like a bamboo, and then drove straight in, thirty miles outside Mantou City, and the Tuyuhun army confronted the battle.

Li Jing's command of the vanguard army, the use of flexible use, first with the iron cavalry to push over, the momentum of the earth-shattering, the sound of the rattling of the iron chain and the sound of the horse harness shaking, extremely loud, tore apart the Tuyuhun cavalry formation, and then mixed the cavalry formation, unconsciously, the enemy cavalry formation surrounded and cut.

In a moment, the two galloping torrents collided violently, and in an instant, they collided, and then the people flipped on their backs, and the flesh and blood flew sideways.

"Wow-" The piercing sound of weapons rang out, accompanied by the neighing of war horses and the howling of soldiers, and the fluffy blood mist, like flowers blooming in an instant, staining the withered grass and wilderness.

In the bloody storm, Li Jing was calm and calm, commanding the elite of the western frontier of the Great Sui, and ushered in the most tragic head-to-head confrontation with the Tuyuhun cavalry.

Although Tuyuhun is stationed on the plateau, regardless of the quality of the riders, or the fierceness of the war horses, the degree of training is very strong, but this Sui army, but Luo Zhaoyun and Li Jing jointly built the Luo family army, all the spear killing skills, skillful and tricky, the actual combat skills have been greatly improved, as soon as contact, the enemy soldiers in the front row were stabbed off the horse by the spears of the Luo family army that clashed.

Subsequently, relying on Li Jing's art of war, as well as the formation of iron cavalry and chain horses, unified scheduling, not easy to disperse, just like layers of dark clouds in the past, instantly suppressed Tuyuhun's cavalry, no matter how the other party impacted, it was crushed by the overall horse formation of the Sui army like Mount Tai.

A face-to-face, fierce confrontation, hard impact, blood flowed everywhere, the sound of killing shook the sky, and soon tens of thousands of cavalry of Tuyuhun were overwhelmed by the Sui army's chain of iron cavalry, and they couldn't stop retreating, and the corpse of the fallen horse was like a rag, being trampled mercilessly, and people kept falling, becoming a dead body that was trampled on.

In the end, Li Jing took Mantou City, and the Busabo Khan, who came here to investigate, saw that the big thing was not good, and withdrew to the royal capital Fuqi City with his own army.

"General Li, the scouts in front have found Tuyuhun Khan's personal soldiers, the army that fled north may be Tuyuhun's ace army, do you want to pursue it."

After Li Jing learned about it, he hesitated for a moment and shook his head directly: "Leave it to General Luo, as long as we cut off the connection between the north and the south, Fu Qi City will soon become an isolated city. ā€

He did not lead his troops in pursuit, but chose to cut off the northern and southern forces of Tuyuhun and lead his troops to advance to Chishui City in the south.

At the same time, Luo Zhaoyun led his troops and had already marched to the northwest, preparing to march to Fuqi City and have a decisive battle with the main force of Tuyuhun and the ace army.

Liang Yuanli asked, "General Luo, don't you wait for the forbidden army and government soldiers of the imperial court to cooperate?" ā€

Luo Zhaoyun shook his head and said: "No need, they are here, they are in the way, and they don't obey our orders, but it's a bad thing, I'll break through Tuguhun first and grab a big success!" (To be continued.) )
