Chapter 19: The Alien Race Strikes
Besides, the family, they originally wanted to suppress the prestige of the Taishou Mansion among the people, especially when they got the indication of the assassination of the state, so they were so unscrupulous. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, after a period of time, instead of receiving a signal from the Taishou Mansion to show weakness, the price of grain has dropped, which is completely different from what they thought.
After their investigation, the grain stored in Taishou Mansion was not enough to calm the price of grain, but recently, Taishou Mansion has sold thousands of stone of grain, and there is no trend of running out of grain at all.
It wasn't until they discovered that the caravan of the Zhen clan in Jizhou was constantly transporting supplies to Taishou Mansion that they understood that it was unrealistic to rely on such a method to make Zhang Zai show weakness, so they could only make a fuss in other aspects.
Two months have passed since Zhang Zai decided to tolerate everywhere.
In the past two months, Zhang Zai has dealt with the difficulties from the Assassin's Mansion every day, as well as the provocation of the family, and his heart is already full of anger.
Fortunately, it was already the time of the autumn harvest, and the attention of the Thorn Mansion and the family had also shifted to the harvest, Zhang Zai finally breathed a sigh of relief, if it continued, he really couldn't help it, and he had to clean up the family even if he lost both.
This year's harvest is good, compared with last year, each field has produced a lot of grain, the farmers in the field are smiling, Zhang Zai looked at the smiles on the faces of the people, and there was a huge sense of accomplishment in his heart.
But on this festive day, Zhang Zai suddenly received an urgent report from the border pass, and the roots of Xianbei Budu were assembling and were suspected of invading Yanmen.
Zhang Zai hurriedly found Xu Guangqi and the others, asked about the progress of the autumn harvest work, and at the same time told them the news.
Several people discussed for a long time before they came out of the Taishou Mansion, Xu Guangqi began to transfer grain and grass, Xue Rengui and the others gathered their soldiers and horses, and at the same time, the county soldiers also began to assemble under the leadership of Captain Wang Bao.
On the issue of treating foreign races, everyone in the Taishou Mansion has a very unified opinion, not my race, their hearts must be different, although Zhang Zai is a person of later generations, but he has seen the historical record of the five Hu Chaohua after the Jin Dynasty, and naturally he will not have a good impression of the foreign race.
In the next few days, several waves of heralds entered and exited the Taishou Mansion every day.
Finally, one day the scout came to report that the root of the step had crossed the border and was heading towards Qiangyin City.
After Zhang Zai confirmed the news, he decided to personally lead the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, a total of 3,000 people, and swore to go on the expedition, Xue Rengui and Zhang Liao accompanied the army, and Xu Guangqi stayed in the Yin Pavilion.
At the same time, Zhang Zai also received a long-lost system message.
"Ding-dong...... System Quest: Knock back the step root, and the reward depends on the completion of the task. ”
……
Qiangyin City, is one of the four counties under his control, Yanmen is the closest city to the border, and it is also the city where Zhang Zai opened the Yongchang, because the war is about to break out, the Rongchang has been closed, and the aliens stranded in the city have also been expelled, and even the people in the city have many people who have taken refuge elsewhere.
After a day of marching, Zhang Zai decided to spend the night in the city, during which Zhang Zai checked the material reserves of Qiangyin City, as a transit station for food and weapons and arrows for this battle, and the materials transported by Yanmen were stored in the city.
When he came to the border fortress, it was already noon the next day, and in order to be able to enter the battle immediately, Zhang Zai deliberately slowed down the march.
At this time, Budu Root has already set up camp on the opposite side, looking at its scale, this time there are no less than 10,000 troops, according to the intelligence collected by Zhang Zai, this is almost half of the young and strong of his tribe.
Zhang Zai led the army to the fortress, and the generals of the defenders were already waiting at the gate.
The general of the defenders was a middle-aged man, dressed in silver armor, majestic, and behind him there was a man in cloth, about forty years old, who smiled at Zhang Zai when he saw Zhang Zai looking at him.
"Liu De, the commander of Yanmen, meet General Yangwu." The generals behind Liu De also bowed.
Zhang Zai helped Liu De up, and at the same time looked at the generals behind him and said, "You don't have to be polite. ”
Then he looked at Liu De and said: "I have long heard that there is a lieutenant in Yanmen, stationed at the border, and he has been handling official business in the county all the time, and he has no time to separate, and today I finally saw the real person." ”
"The adults are the people of a county, and it should be the last general to go to meet them, and it is the last general's fault." Liu De said modestly, and then made a gesture of please: "My lord, please speak in the camp." ”
The entire fortress is surrounded by logs, and inside are wooden huts built for soldiers to live in.
When it came to the big tent, everyone sat down, and Liu De introduced the captains in the camp to Zhang Zai, but when he introduced the man in cloth, he casually introduced his name and passed.
Zhang Zai was suspicious, but it was inconvenient to ask more, but he secretly wrote it down in his heart and planned to ask again in private.
After everyone finished the introduction, Liu De talked about the situation at the root of Xianbei Budu.
Since the death of Tan Shi Huai, his son and even succeeded to the throne, but even the ability and means can not be compared with his father, people are more greedy for money and lustful, there are many people in the tribe who do not obey his management, and then attack the north, was shot to death by the northerners, and then, Xianbei split, Budugen inherited the position of the leader of this branch, with tens of thousands, located in Yanmen, in the clouds.
Now the Budugen is stationed twenty miles ahead, with a total of more than 30,000 people, the middle army and the rear army, led by Budugen himself, and the forward 3,000, led by Daihua.
This Daihu is the root of the Budu lineage, and he is also the most powerful warrior under him.
After the introduction, Liu De looked at Zhang Zai and said: "Lord Taishou, this fortress is now stationed with 10,000 soldiers and horses, including 8,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry. ”
Zhang Zai's position in the account is the highest, and nominally he and Wang Bao are both Zhang Zai's subordinates, so he must obey Zhang Zai's orders.
Liu De was ready to give up the right to send troops, but Zhang Zai had no intention of seizing power.
Zhang Zai said: "Captain Liu, these three troops are all temporary patchwork, if the main general is replaced, the soldiers do not know the generals, I am afraid that the fighters will be delayed, so they will each command the troops and horses of the headquarters, and listen to my orders at that time." ”
Still commanding the people of the headquarters, Liu De was overjoyed, quietly glanced at the man in cloth, and when he saw him nodding, he smiled: "No!" ”
In this expedition, Zhang Zai led a total of 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry in his headquarters, plus two lieutenants, a total of 15,000 people, including 3,000 cavalry and 12,000 infantry, which is three times the number of people at the root of Budu, and the root of Budu is full of cavalry.
Zhang Zai looked at the map in the army, and kept thinking about the strategy to break the enemy.
Xue Rengui on the side said: "Lord, it is better to let the last general lead the troops to call the battle and frustrate the opponent's spirit." ”
Before Zhang Zai could give the order, he heard a "report to the ......" from outside the tent, and then the tent door was opened, and a scout came in, holding the order flag, and said breathlessly: "My lord, Xianbei is calling outside." ”
After hearing this, everyone in the tent all looked at Zhang Zai and waited for him to make a decision.
I only heard Zhang Zai say: "Xue Rengui listens to the order." ”
"The last general!"
"Order you to lead 500 cavalry to meet the battle, and you will not be defeated if you win."
"No." Xue Rengui took the order and left.
Outside the gate, Dai Hua was showing off his might, saying something auspicious, as if he was laughing at the Han people.
Xue Rengui ordered five hundred cavalry, accompanied by the drummer beating a neat drum, and stepped out of the fortress.
When Dai Hua saw that someone came out to meet them, he shouted, Xue Rengui couldn't understand their words, so he ordered the cavalry to delay, and he himself turned his horse out of the battle, shouting: "Hedong Xue Li is here, who dares to fight with me!" ”
Seeing that the Han general, who had always been weak, actually called for battle, Dai Hu screamed angrily, and ordered a thousand people around him to fight,
Thousands of generals took the order and shot at Xue Rengui.
Looking at the spear stabbed at him, Xue Rengui smiled disdainfully, and the halberd in his hand easily opened the spear, and then stabbed, the tip of the halberd sank into the throat of the thousand generals, and then shook it hard, throwing his corpse a few feet away.
When he saw his own general kill the enemy general in one round, he shouted "Drink!" Drink! Drink! ”
At the same time, the scout rushed to the big tent and informed the battalion generals of the news.
Seeing that the thousand people sent by Daihu were beheaded in one round, he was furious, and ordered the three generals around him to fight together.
