Chapter Seventy-Five: The Border Cities of the Northern Frontier

The border city, Beilin City, is more than 2,000 miles north of the northern frontier. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is not only the front line of the Xing State facing the Xianyu tribe, but also the only city in the northernmost part of the land under the nominal jurisdiction of the Emperor of the Great Shen Dynasty.

The battles between the vassal states of the Northern Wilderness, including the entire Xing Kingdom, and the Xianyu tribes, have a history of seven or eight hundred years from the establishment of the Great Shen Dynasty to the present.

To the west of the northern frontier of Xingguo, it is the northern extension of the Yuanshan Mountain Range, which is vast for tens of thousands of miles.

More than 1,000 miles to the east, there is a huge mountain range that stands tall and straight, because it is cloudy and misty all the year round, it is called the cloud and mist mountain, and it extends to the east and west until the territory of the country, and it stretches for more than 7,000 miles from east to west.

The vast wilderness between the two huge mountain ranges of Yuanshan Mountain Range and Yunwu Mountain is the long border line between Xingguo and Xianyu that is more than 1,000 miles long.

Fortunately, Xing defeated the Xianyu tribe in a battle a hundred years ago, and pushed the battle line between the two countries from the area of Beilin City to the north to the current border.

Let the Yunwu Mountain, which was originally located in the territory of the Xianyu tribe, become the boundary mountain between the two countries, and the border between the two countries has also shrunk from the original seven or eight thousand miles from east to west to less than two thousand miles at present.

That battle allowed Xing to achieve an excellent strategic situation, which not only increased Xing's strategic depth, but also saved a large number of border troops.

As a border city that can only accommodate less than 50,000 people, it is the only official city in the northern Xinjiang of Xingguo.

Shangqing Yun Shuyu and Yaqing Huo Yun, who presided over the war in Northern Xinjiang, led the army to sit here, and when Beilin City was still at the end of autumn, the first snowflakes had begun to fall here.

"It's really a white grass that is swept by the wind, and snow will fly in October in northern Xinjiang!"

Yun Shuyu, who was dressed in the formal clothes of the emperor, did not look like he was fighting on the front line at all, and he was still as neat and tidy as when the capital was facing the king.

Whether it is living, traveling, sitting, or lying, any action is as if it has been carefully carved.

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the well-organized camps outside the city, and exclaimed: "I thought that the baggage in the rear could not keep up, and I was ready to train the army here throughout the winter."

Unexpectedly, under the command of Cheng Yu, the lord of Beilin City, someone could use cattle instead of horse-drawn carts to speed up transportation, it seems that this person is indeed a talent!

What pleased me the most was that he made these leather gloves from rabbit tanned leather, so that they could be used in the winter.

It is estimated that he will be able to defeat these border barbarians of the Xianyu tribe before the year! When I get home, my youngest daughter will probably call her father! Haha・・・・・・"

Forty-year-old Yaqing Huo Yun looked at Yun Shuyu, who was five years younger than him, with a respectful face, when he presided over the alliance of the lords of Northern Xinjiang, these people were simply a group of rabble.

When fighting against the Xianyu cavalry, they suffered a lot of losses one after another, and there were once voices of worry in the national capital, but when Shangqing Yun Shuyu came, it only took a month for these rabble to become an elite division.

In the previous big counterattack, it was still the army composed of the private armies of the lords of each department, but under the personal leadership of Yun Shuyu, the rest of the Xianyu people were constantly defeated.

In the end, Xianyu had to retreat for hundreds of miles to wait for reinforcements from the rear, and the fine northland war horses captured by the Xing State side alone amounted to thousands of horses.

What makes Huo Yun even more admired is that this Shangqing is not only powerful in both civil and military affairs, but also extremely elegant in his every move, which has been imitated by countless Chinese people, and even has an elegant name in the national capital: human appearance.

Huo Yan thought for a while and said respectfully: "Shangqing, the enemy who has entered the northern frontier now is just the cavalry composed of the herdsmen of the Xianyu tribe, although there are many of them, they are still under control, but the king's tent elite cavalry has not gone south for some reason, which makes me a little worried."

In addition, many city lords in northern Xinjiang, such as Beilin City, Yangwu City, and Shooting Deer City, reported one after another, saying that some of the stronger local wild people settlements were faintly moving!

Especially the strength of the Lishuize Ghost and Witch Department has increased greatly in recent years, and I think these wild settlements must be cleaned up! ”

"These wild settlements are not a problem, and the city lords are ordered to be on strict alert, that is, when the army defeats the Xianyu tribe and returns to the division, it will be enough to erase those restless settlements, and the king will never allow a second black wind settlement to appear! But these savages are not to worry either! ”

Yun Shuyu's face was indifferent, and his white face stood slightly against the wind.

・・・・・・

There is an earthen fort with a radius of one mile three hundred miles to the west of the border city, and the town army stationed in the fort is the town army that has been guarding the frontier for a long time.

There is also a huge camp made of huge logs more than ten miles outside the city, and the joint army composed of the private armies of the feudal lords in the north of Xingguo is stationed.

In a tent in the camp, Doctor Ye was carefully reading a letter from Beilin City, his face was surprised at first, then surprised, then a little strange, changed back and forth, and finally raised his head with a somewhat complicated expression.

Seeing that everyone in the big tent was paying attention to him, he smiled slightly and said, "Some villains in Beilin City are trying to stir up some right and wrong, but they are actually trying to disadvantage the head of the Qing family; However, my mother has made arrangements in person, so Brother Zhong doesn't need to worry, and the family is safe! ”

The first sentence was said to the Ye family's retainers in the tent, and the last sentence was said to a tall and sturdy middle-aged man sitting next to his right.

This man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks like an ordinary martial artist, but he is extremely tall and strong, with a height of almost one zhang.

A heavy iron sword beside him was a foot long, and the dress and outfit alone were enough to deter most enemies.

He also wore a set of full-body leather armor made of unknown animal skins, and the old purple-black leather armor was covered with intricate patterns.

I don't know how many battles I have experienced, and it is full of dense weapon scratches, and at first glance, it is a man who has experienced a hundred battles, and even Doctor Cheng envies this body of armor.

This strong man is naturally Zhong Kai, the head of the Qing family, and when he heard that someone was planning his own lord after leaving, he couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this.

As Zhong Kai frowned, the atmosphere in the entire big tent became a little strange and dull for a while, even Doctor Ye automatically kept silent, this respect came from Zhong Kai's strong combat effectiveness that had been tested in dozens of battles.

After pondering for a while, Zhong Kai still decided to believe Doctor Ye for the time being, and then he nodded and said loudly: "My Qing clan and the Ye clan have always been good at the same family, since my lord will be safe and sound if he has an old lady to take care of him, I have to thank Mrs. Ye a lot!"

Now that we are in northern Xinjiang, we still need to care more about the war! I thought the next war would be very much earlier.

Now that the supply speed of supplies in the rear has suddenly accelerated, and many baggage has arrived in advance, Shangqing is likely to completely solve the attack of the Xianyu tribe before the year, and the doctor needs to prepare early! ”

"What Brother Zhong said is deeply in line with my opinion!"

Doctor Ye immediately smiled and nodded when he heard this, looking at the few armor soldiers under his account who only knew how to obey orders, and then looking at Zhong Kai, who was extremely brave and strategic, why was such a warrior not under my Ye family?

What a pity!

If the young master of the Qing clan is really unlucky, will the Ye clan be able to rein in these Qing clan leaders?

A terrible thought suddenly surged in Dr. Ye's heart.
