"Gao Wei, my father worked hard for the Jiangshan Society of Daqi, but in the end he ended up ruining his family. Today, I have set foot on this land, which is the death of you, the faint king! Hu Lu Zhong clenched his fists and stared at Qin Qiong on the hillside, secretly saying in his heart.

He was originally the governor of Luoyan, the son of Taifu Hu Luguang, who had been dressed and fed since he was a child, and admired by his acquaintances, who would have thought that all this brilliance would be annihilated overnight, and this was all because of a slanderous word of a traitor. Maybe the blame for all this should be attributed to the ancestral court and Sangui who are full of slander, but Hu Lu Zhong hates the dim-witted and incompetent Gao Wei.

He wants revenge, revenge on those shameless and treacherous villains, and revenge on the ridiculous and unscrupulous king. In order to survive, he pretended to be a beggar and a thief, and finally came to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. coincided with the Northern Zhou Expedition, and Hu Lu Zhongdu resolutely joined the Zhou army. Since Northern Qi abandoned his father, he didn't mind destroying it and burying his father and uncle.

Although Gao Xing once told him not to anger the entire Great Qi because of a momentary hatred, thus destroying Hu Luguang's lifelong belief in protection, but now the Northern Qi that is about to die cannot let him see a glimmer of hope. Perhaps, destruction is the best ending, especially for the thousands of people at the bottom.

"Yu Yi, since you are obsessed, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" On the hillside, looking at the tens of thousands of Zhou troops who were in a defensive formation, Qin Qiong's eyes flickered, and as countless rockets fell, a fire soon broke out in the valley.

The scorching fire and thick smoke made it difficult for Zhou Jun to breathe, and he couldn't stop retreating. Fortunately, the wing has always been cautious, the Zhou army formation is very dense, and there are sword and shield hands to set up a sword and shield defense, although there was a little panic for a while, but there were not too many casualties.

"Withdraw!"

Yu Yi's face was pale, but at this time, he couldn't allow him to think too much, and decisively gave the order to retreat. Although it was a retreat, the Zhou army did not disperse in a hurry, but in an orderly manner, the rear army became the front army, and the sword and shield hands supported the shield wall and withdrew to the outside of the valley at a steady speed.

It's autumn, the leaves are dead, and if a fire breaks out in the valley, the consequences are unimaginable. Although he was at a disadvantage as soon as he first clashed, Yu Yi didn't have too many worries in his heart. 50,000 elite soldiers can break through Xifenzhou in half a day, how can they get along well.

The only thing that made Yu Yi regret was that he had asked the scouts to investigate before entering the valley, but there was no ambush in the valley, but the enemy blocked the valley mouth in an instant, obviously preparing for a long time. Is it true that a mountain bandit has such a skill to fool an experienced scout?

Looking at the four thousand Zhou troops rushing towards the top of the mountain from both sides, and feeling the fierce battle intent revealed from them, Qin Qiong admired in his heart, this Zhou national soldiers were indeed much stronger than Gao Wei's soldiers. Despite this, he did not have the slightest fear, on the contrary, there was a spark of excitement in his eyes.

It has been two years since the cavalry division was formed, and it has gone through dozens or hundreds of battles large and small, and the soldiers are all iron-blooded men who have experienced a hundred battles.

They fought Huang Faqu in Jingzhou not only undefeated, but on the contrary, caused headaches for the other party; They once fought with Dugu Yongye, and they also made each other deeply jealous; A few days ago, under the leadership of Qin Qiong, they fought fiercely with the overlord of the grassland, and finally repelled the latter.

Now, in the face of the elite of the Zhou State, they have no fear, and some only have a strong fighting spirit. Although there were only a thousand people on each side of the mountain, they did not flinch in the face of the four thousand Zhou troops, and everyone waited quietly, waiting for their young commander to give the order to attack.

"Array!" When the Zhou army rushed halfway up the mountain, Qin Qiong waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice.

All the people on the top of the mountain were in a hurry, and they immediately moved quickly, and after only two breaths, they gathered into two small phalanxes, and all of them exuded a thick evil aura, so that the fluttering fallen leaves did not dare to approach.

"Bow!"

"Huh!" All the soldiers immediately stretched out their bows and arrows, creaking, and the sound of the bowstring tightening made the scalp of the Zhou army who rushed upwards tingle.

"Raise your shield!" Hu Lu Zhongdu's eyes flashed with coldness, and he immediately shouted. Hearing his harmony, the two thousand Zhou soldiers immediately raised their shields above their heads, and their bodies were tightly under the shields, but their progress did not slow down much.

And Li Yuan, who was on the other side, also gave the same order. Although he was able to become a young general who commanded thousands of people, mostly because of the shadow of his father Tang Guogong Li Xun, he himself also has a lot of ability. Although he was born into a wealthy family, he was smart and witty, generous and benevolent, generous in his hands, and very good at interpersonal communication, and was deeply loved by his subordinates.

"Shoot!" Qin Qiong's eyes narrowed, and he was slightly surprised by the rapid reaction of the enemy general, but he did not hesitate at all.

"Whoosh!"

There was another chilling sound of breaking through the air, and a dense rain of arrows flew down from both sides of the mountaintop.

"Jingle Bell!"

"Puff puff!"

"Ahh

Although the Zhou army took defensive measures, under the rain of arrows, many people were still injured and fell to the ground, and screams came and went. You know, they are not facing ordinary mountain bandits, but extremely elite cavalry. These people are not even afraid of Turkic warriors who are good at riding and shooting, and their skills are naturally extremely outstanding. Condescendingly, it was not too difficult to shoot the Zhou army in an air raid.

"Brothers, hold on, rush forward!" Hu Lu Zhong looked at the falling figures around him, his eyes suddenly became blood-red and he roared, holding the shield in one hand, and the speed under his feet increased sharply.

If even the mountain bandits can't be exterminated, how can they destroy the Qi country and avenge their husbands?

Looking at the Zhou army, whose formation was still neat and the momentum was still fierce, Qin Qiong couldn't help frowning. There were two rounds of arrow rain, but only six or seven hundred people fell, and in the case of the battle situation, this result was really unsatisfactory.

"Change formation!" Looking at the Zhou army, which had already rushed to within thirty meters, Qin Qiong knew that the damage that the bow and arrow could cause was not large, so he shouted loudly.

"Boom!"

The figures swayed rapidly at the sound of hurried footsteps, and soon the cavalry on the top of the hill transformed into two small charging formations. Although they did not ride a war horse because of geography, the heavy evil aura on their bodies condensed into a sharp aura, which spread far away, making Hu Lu Zhong and Li Yuan frown.

"Draw your sword!"

"Whoa—"

"Charge!"

"Kill!"

With this shout in unison, the momentum of the two thousand cavalry suddenly climbed to the extreme. As soon as the words fell, the two charging formations rushed towards the Zhou army like a hurricane.

……

Outside Pingyang City, the Qi army camp.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in your opinion, are we going to fight a decisive battle or retreat?" Gao Wei sat on the throne, and his majestic eyes scanned the dozens of civil and military ministers in the tent.

The fall of Xifenzhou and the defeat of Gao Xiaoheng originally shocked him, and he was a little afraid of Yuwenyong and the Zhou army, but after the Zhou army came to Pingyang City, they did not attack for a long time, which made his hanging heart much calmer. Moreover, there are only 100,000 in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which is far less than his own, and Gao Wei's confidence is also sufficient, not to mention the existence of trenches like that day.

The ministers looked at each other and exchanged views silently, but Gao Anaqiu was the first to come out of the ranks, and said with a heavy face: "Your Majesty, although the number of our army is far superior to that of the Zhou army, the number of people who can fight is only 100,000, and the Zhou army is only between them. Today's weather is very cold, and it is not suitable for battle, so Weichen thinks it is not appropriate to take the initiative to attack. ”

"I think back then, when Emperor Shenwu was in power, I had a million strong soldiers to attack Yubi City of Zhou, and I had to retreat after the enemy's reinforcements arrived, can today's army be comparable to the elite trained by Emperor Shenwu?"

Weichen thinks that it is safest to stick to it. His Majesty can send a general to lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to guard here, and the Chinese army will retreat to Gaoliangqiao (northeast of Linfen) and station. Now that it is close to the depths of winter, the weather is cold and freezing, and the Zhou army has come from afar, so it is naturally difficult to supply. However, my Daqi occupies a favorable position, as long as it drags on for dozens of days, the Zhou army will undoubtedly retreat! ”

Gao Wei nodded, and then looked at the others: "What Gao Aiqing said is reasonable, what do other people think?" ”

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that the right prime minister is wrong!" But it was a general who stepped out, although he was nearly fifty years old, but his whole body still smelled of wild slaughter. This person is General Wuwei, An Tugan.

An Tugen, originally a native of Anxihu, served the Northern Wei Dynasty because of his grandfather. In the last years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he sent an envoy to the Worm Kingdom, returned to Jinyang when Gao Huan governed the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and helped Gao Huan defeat the invasion of the Worm Kingdom, thus gaining Gao Huan's appreciation. This person is brave and resolute, and he has made a lot of contributions with Gao Huan. It's just that Gao Zhan and Gao Wei have been incompetent all these years, and this veteran has also been snubbed and hit.

"General Antogan, what do you think?" Gao Ana raised his eyebrows and asked with a slightly calm face.

An Tugen glanced at Gao Anaqi without the slightest fear, and then looked at Gao Wei and said, "Your Majesty, the Zhou people are just gutless rats, why be afraid?" Thinking back then, Emperor Shenwu was so heroic that he only frightened the Zhou people. Although we are far less powerful than Emperor Shenwu, but we are even the subjects of Emperor Shenwu, but we are afraid of that Yuwen child? Your Majesty, and I have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, to see how the last general will kill the Zhou thief and throw him into the Fenshui! ”

An Tugan's words were full of neutrality and sonorous power, which made the generals in the camp boil. A few years ago, how majestic the Qi people were, how weak the Zhou people were, but now it's just the other way around, but who doesn't feel humiliated when there is a bloody man?

Gao Wei's brows furrowed, and An Tugen sacrificed Emperor Shenwu, and he couldn't help but start to hesitate. From the bottom of his heart, he doesn't want to be tough with Zhou Guo, but if he cowers, it's obviously not a good thing. If it is criticized by the royal family because of this, it is the worst thing to cause trouble.

At this moment, some eunuchs who were close to him said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty and Yuwen Yong are both kings of the same country, he can attack, why can't you take the initiative to attack?" If Your Majesty drives the expedition in person and defeats Yuwen Yong, then all the people will return to their hearts, and it will not be difficult to dominate the world! ”

"If I can't fight, I'm afraid that people will look down on me!"

"Your Majesty, you are the co-lord of the world, why not be afraid of Yuwen Xiao'er, the concubine also hopes to see your heroic appearance in defeating the Zhou thief!" Just when Gao Wei was undecided, Feng Xiaolian, who was dressed in queen clothes, suddenly said in a coquettish voice.

Looking at the beauty with a look of hope, Gao Wei was full of cleverness, as if infinite power poured into his body, he couldn't help but sit up straight, and shouted: "Yuwen Xiao'er wants to fight, how can I do it?" See how I retreat from the enemy, hahahaha! ”
