Chapter 22: Divine Soldiers Descend from Heaven

This poem was overheard by Zhou Gongyun and read by Qian Cheng. I don't know why, when he heard this poem, he felt that his impression of Qian Cheng had changed a lot. Does this man really have such a mind? Have you always misunderstood him?

Of course, this is actually just Qian Cheng recalling the poems he once memorized, afraid that he would forget it and recite it silently, for example, this sentence, he can't remember the full text, only remember this sentence, when he read Qi Jiguang's biography, he fell in love with this 'lonely general' because of this sentence.

A wonderful misunderstanding, sometimes more effective than two people talking about their knees, of course, Zhou Gongyun will not give Qian Cheng the opportunity to talk for a long time, if you really want to talk about your knees, there will only be one result, that is, there is a sentence without a sentence for a while, and then the two of them stared and were silent until dawn.

It had been a few months since the day the army set out, and finally, the Liang army and the Qiang army had an encounter, and Qian Cheng also had a general understanding of the enemy's combat strength.

In the past few hundred years, the Qiang people have slowly developed from a nomadic people to a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural group, although some of them still 'live in pursuit of water and grass', but many of them have 'lived in the mountains, and the stones are the rooms'.

In fact, they are not necessarily stronger than the Liang army in terms of foot combat ability, although the horse combat ability is much stronger than the Liang army, but it cannot be said to be unilateral crushing, however, for the Liang army that has been defeated countless times by themselves, they have absolute self-confidence, and sometimes the crushing of morale is far more terrifying than unilateral combat power.

For the arrival of Zhou Gongyun's army, the Qiang army was disdainful, so many Liang troops had been defeated by themselves before, and now the emperor of Liang sent such a mere 30,000 soldiers and horses to send them to death, which is really ridiculous. However, to the displeasure of the Qiang chieftain, this group of sheep-like two-legged sheep dared to slaughter several of their own lonely tribes.

"Find, find this damn fly for me, I'm going to skin them alive, let this group of Liang dogs know how good we are, I don't believe it, he can still hide underground on my Qiang people's chassis."

***

In other words, where did the Liang army led by Zhou Gongyun go?

It turned out that Zhou Gongyun knew that if he had a hard encounter with the Qiang army, it would definitely be an egg hitting a stone, and he would definitely lose, so he followed Qian Cheng's suggestion and walked from the narrow path on the southwest side of Liangzhou, and inserted his sword into the hearts of Qiang people.

"Ahh I knew that it was this kind of damn weather, and I really shouldn't have accompanied this guy, so I might as well find a safe place to hide after I gave up my plan, and waited for the good news of Zhou Gongming.

Yes, Qian Cheng has a cold now, obviously it is only September, but there is a goose feather snow in this ghost place, you know, in this era, a bad cold will kill people, because this sortie in order to reach the destination as soon as possible, so as to achieve the effect of surprise, all non-combatants, except for Qian Cheng, were all thrown in Liangzhou by Zhou Gong, telling them to hide on their own. And there are no people around here, so I can't find anyone even if I want to find one.

Fortunately, in this cold and snowy ghost place, some herbs were found by a guy in the army who knew herbs, and that guy's Lao Tzu was Langzhong. Qian Cheng ate herbs and felt better, but since then he has begun to roll up the covers on himself wherever he goes......

Now Qian Cheng is simply a peculiar scenery in the Liang army, as long as many soldiers see him rolling up a blanket, they look like they want to laugh but don't dare to laugh, and the expression is like constipation.

The severe cold is not the only enemy of the Liang army, and now where the Liang army goes, they can no longer ride horses, they have to climb over one deserted snow-capped mountain after another, these snow-capped mountains, obviously few people come, not even a small road.

Zhou Gongcheng is a man who loves horses, but now he has ordered his subordinates to kill the horses and leave the horses in this place, it is better to let his soldiers have a full meal, after all, their food and grass are already a little insufficient. Fortunately, in this weather, the excess horse meat can still be carried, and there is no fear of spoilage.

Every time you climb a mountain, you will lose a lot of soldiers, but Zhou Gongyun is a loyal supporter of Qian Cheng's remarks that 'Ci does not lead the army', as long as Qian Cheng does not die, the rest of the people can die less, that is a good thing. And on the one hand, these subordinates are because of Zhou Gong's obscenity, and on the other hand, they have already arrived at this place, even if they resist, it will only accelerate their own demise, and most people still understand this truth.

Qian Cheng felt that every time he crossed a mountain, he had passed a ghost gate, but fortunately, he brought a few guys from Niu Man, if he couldn't walk, someone could carry him on his back for a ride, so as not to fall behind, otherwise, as a last resort, for the sake of the military aircraft, even if Zhou Gongyun didn't want to, I am afraid he would have to leave it to fend for himself. It was also at this time that Qian Cheng knew that Niu Manzi was a person from Liaodong, who fled to Jingzhou with his relatives in his teens, and later left him one by one because his relatives left him.

After more than a month of difficult climbing, the soldiers of Daliang climbed the mountain and lay in the snow, and they only needed to climb the last hill to reach their destination. Qian Cheng's body is now thin and only bones remain, and his complexion can compete with Chen Ziyun's guy.

However, before they could rejoice for half an hour, when they climbed the mountain, they looked at the other side of the cliff and were dumbfounded.

The whole slope on the other side of the mountain is not more than forty-five degrees, the cliff, how can such a terrain go down, although it is a small hill, but there is also a few hundred meters high, if it is a bad is the end of 'broken bones'.

In the winter of Xiliang Mountain, the grass and trees wither, don't even think about finding trees and vines to make ropes, and your army is now on the verge of collapse, if you go around hundreds of miles, then it will definitely collapse without a fight. Zhou Gongyun is helpless about this, but is it true that God can't help me?

"Childe, don't."

Just when Zhou Gongyun hesitated, he saw Qian Cheng pull the blanket on his body tightly, and rolled down the hill first despite Niu Manzi's obstruction, and the five Niu Manzi saw Qian Cheng's approach, and they didn't care about anything else, followed his example, wrapped the blanket around his body and rolled it down.

"Come down, we'll be fine." Qian Cheng shouted at the crowd on the mountain. In fact, he was fine, his whole body seemed to fall apart, and he now felt that he was not far from crossing again, of course, he didn't know if there was a chance to cross.

"Huang Ziyu has such courage as a literati, how can I wait to fall behind and make the world laugh." Zhou Gongyun only left such a sentence, and then followed Qian Cheng's example and rolled down the cliff.

In fact, Qian Cheng has been in this army for so long, and many soldiers look down on him, but he can drag two sentences of poetry that he doesn't use, and he gets special care from the general. But this time, it really impressed them, and the person that the general can value will not be mediocre.

In this way, with the pace of Qian Cheng and Zhou Gongfair, the Great Liang army descended from the sky like a divine soldier, and really achieved the effect they expected, directly penetrated into the thief army, and eliminated the Qiang royal court in one fell swoop.

When the Liang army attacked the big tent of the Qiang people's royal court, the Qiang king Tuoba Weiran was holding a dinner party with the big and small leaders, and at this time, he knew that the guy who had been cut down by himself who had come to report the news before was not talking nonsense.
