Chapter 169: Go North to Grab Food

Early in the morning, on the prairie in front of Zhenwu New Town, flags were waving, and rows of Zhenwu cavalry rode on horses and lined up excitedly, ready to set off for the expedition.

The Zhenwu Army, which was born not long but was full of vitality, began to expand to the west and north at the same time after establishing a mountainous area of about 20,000 square kilometers with Zhenwu New City (Zhenzhou) as the core, Shuozhou in the north, Shizhou in the south, and Linzhou in the west.

Ho Tai Sin's view is very different from the way of thinking of the traditional Central Plains rulers:

"Peace is not called peace when others don't come to fight you, but when I don't fight others, that's called peace!"

He Daxian thinks that he is very idle now, and he happens to be free.

So, let's not talk about peace yet!

The objectives of this expedition to the west and the north were also very clear, to annex and control the areas of the Dingyan army to the west, and to plunder the population and materials deep into the Khitan territory to the north.

The Western Expedition was personally led by He Daxian, who led 1,000 foot soldiers of the West Route Army to join the 3,000 Shuozhou Army cavalry from Shuozhou in Sancha Town, and then received 1,000 newly recruited infantry soldiers from Fuzhou after crossing the Yellow River and arrived in Linzhou.

At that time, the total strength of the Western Expeditionary Army will reach 10,000, and the opponent will be Li Yiyin, the envoy of the Dingyan Army, who has 80,000 cavalry of the Dingyan Army.

The northern expedition was led by the new "Northwest Guerrilla General of the Zhenwu Army" from afar, plus Pei Baoman and Wang Caiyun, two "personal soldiers", leading 5,000 cavalry of the Zhenwu Army West Route Army to exit the mountain from the side pass and enter the territory of the Khitan State.

In the future, the Northern Expeditionary Army is likely to meet the generalissimo Yelu Bugu of the Khitan State's "Southwest Recruitment Division" on the prairie, with about 30,000 Khitan troops.

As for Zhenwu New Town, 3,000 troops were left to defend the base for Han Kuangsi.

It just so happened that Han Kuangsi was newly married, so he was asked to spend his honeymoon at home.

At the wedding banquet that night, Han Kuangsi secretly asked He Daxian:

"Lord, can you give me the magic medicine you gave to the boy chicken Li Yimin?"

He Daxian looked Han Kuangsi up and down with strange eyes, feeling very strange.

"Could it be that you have also started to practice that boy's skill?"

"That's not, isn't there still fifty Zhenwu flowers?"

It's no wonder that the eldest lady of the Han family has entered the scene, and naturally she has to dispose of the fifty flowers of Zhenwu that are not innocent. Fortunately, Han Kuangsi is not too ruthless, and he still chose seven of the more docile concubines from the fifty people, and married them all on the same day as Feng Yuqi.

That night, the peerless love saint Han Kuangsi shouldered the heavy burden of single-handedly picking up eight fair ladies, and he was naturally overwhelmed, and he needed a little external force to support him a little.

Even the three little Loli who sneaked up to the roof of the Han family that night to eavesdrop on the cave room, everyone blushed when they came back, and they vomited all the way, obviously disgusted.

The handsome guy who is infatuated and chic in his heart is such an unbearable person, which makes the hearts of these three little girls suffer a heavy blow and collapse.

We won't talk about these bad things, and if we continue to talk about it, it will be endless.

Before leaving, the new Zhenwu Jiedu envoy Zhao Ping Zhao cheered up the soldiers of the Northern Route Army before leaving.

"Do you have a wife?"

"There it is!" "Nope!" The voices were uneven, and it seemed that there were a lot of boys and chickens in this cavalry.

The soldiers who were about to march north couldn't hold back their serious rooster faces, laughed together, and huddled together.

"Come back from the mission this time, whether you have a wife or not, there are three for each person!"

"Report to the general, I already have three, can I match more?"

"Yes, what's your name? I'll ask your mother-in-law, and I'll come back and give you enough five!" Don't die of exhaustion! ”

Another burst of hahaha laughter

The laughter gradually fell, and Zhao Pingzhao's face became serious.

"All come back alive!"

"Alive!" The sergeants responded in unison.

"Grab money, food, and women!"

"Grab money, food, and women!" The crowd is passionate, and the voice of the people of Zhenwu is so sonorous and powerful!

"Kill the light, grab the light!"

"Kill the light, grab the light!" The voice of incomparably righteous echoed like rolling thunder in the sky above Zhenwu New City!

"Let's go!"

The Northern Expeditionary Army set off, Zhao Ping went back to Han Kuangsi to discuss the details of the surrounding defense and housekeeping, had a farewell lunch with his wife at noon, and set off with a thousand cavalry in the afternoon.

Zhao Ping's eldest wife Li Siping is pregnant, and she doesn't know if the child she will give birth to in the future will have a fairy fate, which makes He Daxian look forward to it. Li Siping was pregnant, and Li Sixue also said that she would stay at home to take care of her sister, so Zhao Ping only took the cicada on the road.

Liu Qi married the little maid Qiu Xiang who was snatched from the old man Yu Chi's house, and it is said that both the young couple were quite satisfied, and this time they also stayed in Zhenwu New Town to take care of the new wife, and by the way, they served as the guard protection force in General Zhao's house.

Shan Wu's personal guard Han Kuangsi and Min'er's personal guard Li Siping also stayed in Zhenzhou.

In the evening of the same day, the Western Expeditionary Army arrived at the edge of the Yellow River and stayed in Dongguan Town. The Northern Expeditionary Army camped at Yatou Pass.

The next day was cloudy and no rain.

The Northern Expeditionary Army set out early in the morning and arrived at Yongbyon Prefecture along the east bank of the Yellow River at noon.

More than 300 years ago, Yongbyon Prefecture was a border military station established by the Sui Dynasty army, and was later taken over by the Tang army. Not long after the Tang army took over, it entered the prairie and pushed the border north for thousands of miles, and this military station lost its role and was abandoned. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huangchao rebelled, Yelu Abao led the Khitan to invade the south, occupied Shengzhou, moved the residents of Shengzhou to the newly built Dongshengzhou on the north bank of the Yellow River, sent a thousand troops to station in this Ningyuan Prefecture, and rebuilt Ningyuan Prefecture as a border outpost.

Ningbyon Prefecture is a bit similar to Linzhou, it is also built on the mountains by the Yellow River, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the problem is the same as Linzhou, get out of the way on the road by the Yellow River!

A few years ago, everyone was afraid of the Khitan, and a thousand Khitan cavalry could basically walk sideways in the ravines.

It's a pity that since Yelu Deguang's defeat in Taiyuan and Xinzhou, this momentum has ceased to exist.

My Zhenwu army has 5,000 cavalry, and I have passed under your city, and you have the ability to rush out and beat me!

Of course, Zhi Congyuan will not just walk under the city and pull down, otherwise he will not be worthy of being a famous general.

When they arrived at the Bitou Pass last night, the Northern Expeditionary Army had already begun to carry out a unified battlefield masking operation.

The warlords of this era don't pay much attention to the battlefield covering, but the Zhenwu Army attaches great importance to it!

Only by controlling the information can you really catch the tail of victory!

"From now on, only entry and exit are allowed at the Eccentric Pass! Anyone who tries to leave the Eccentric Pass without the permission of General Zhe himself will be killed! ”

At night, the 5,000 cavalry camped and were not allowed to light fires, so they slept on their horses in the flickering moonlight.

Before the army set off the next morning, while blocking the entire Yatou Pass, it sent twenty fart cavalry to search all the way forward, shooting seven Khitan patrol sentries and five herdsmen who didn't look very pleasing to the eye and didn't know which ethnic group, until the soldiers were under the city of Ningbianzhou, and the Khitan army in the city did not know that the Zhenwu army had arrived!

The two thousand horsemen of the vanguard shouted and rushed through the city gate along the Yellow River and rushed to the other side of Ningyuan Prefecture. As soon as the Khitan army defending the city saw that the Zhenwu army dared to rush through the city gate, they wanted to come out to pursue, but the city head hurriedly stopped, only to find that the Zhenwu army only rushed through half of the people, and there were 3,000 horsemen behind!

1,000 riders against 5,000 riders, and you have to be attacked from both sides, there is really no chance of winning!

The Khitan army had no choice but to close the city gate and prepare to defend the city.

This is the situation that has been achieved now.

The two sides, one south and one north, are defended, and this Ningyuan Prefecture can't even fly out!

Zhi Congyuan didn't talk nonsense, and ordered to start preparations for the siege of the city, Pei Baoman and Wang Caiyun, but one of them rode a big camel, and staggered to the city gate one after the other.

"The poor way is Joseph, the butcher of the world. Bowman. Pei Fangshan, come to take the dog's life! Hurry up, Hugh nonsense! ”

The little Khitan general on the city wall was also a little stunned when he saw the yellow-haired man named Yu He Pei under the city, who looked so big.

But, there's no way, if you're a military general these days, you have to pretend to be forced!

People have bullied you in front of your door, are you still cowering in the city and not moving?

After a turn of his eyes, he found that these two stupid forks had been far away from the Zhenwu Army Brigade, and just two of them were about to walk to the city gate, and they were riding two ugly camels that were going to death and walking very slowly!

Well, since you are in such a hurry to meet the king of Hades, Lao Tzu has fulfilled you!

The Khitan general hurriedly jumped off the city tower and rode on his horse, beckoned twenty personal soldiers, opened the city gate and rushed out!

The two stupid Tang generals were only more than 100 meters away from the city gate, but the Tang army behind them was five or six hundred meters away! The Khitan general rushed up with more than 20 heavy cavalry, no matter how big you are, fighting for the lives of ten Khitan heavy cavalrymen, it is completely possible to kill them all!

However, this unknown Khitan general didn't pay attention to the chubby female general behind him, thinking that it was a follower.

More than 20 Khitan heavy cavalrymen armed with heavy armor rushed out of the city gate in a khitan dialect that Pei Baoman couldn't understand, and then saw Wang Caiyun raise the five-stone bow in his hand, and an arrow shot out in an instant!

The Khitan general had already made a heart, hiding in the third row, and when he rushed out, he also hid behind a tall Khitan heavy cavalry, who knew that Wang Caiyun's arrow, as if he had eyes, avoided the Khitan cavalry in the first row, passed through the gap in the armor of the Khitan cavalry in the second row, and shot into the throat of the cavalry on the spot.

Then, the bloody arrow came out of the throat and drilled into the hole under the helmet of the Khitan general hiding in the third row, and drove directly into the back of the head!

Wang Caiyun, the first of the top ten archers in the Central Plains in the future, has only been learning archery for a few days, and he can already rank seventh.

Wang Caiyun's arrows have only one feature, the rate of fire is fast and accurate!

As she gains experience, her arrows will shoot faster and faster! More and more accurate! (To be continued.) )
