Chapter 62: The Battle of Heju
Since several villages near Yishan were united, the people of the Xishan faction have also become the backbone of the camp. In the past few years, several villages have come to Xishan to discuss any matter.
The master will definitely not go out on his own, the senior brother is cultivating himself, the second senior brother is busy making money, and Wu Linzi is innocent and can, except for practicing martial arts, he is taking care of small animals all day long, so all foreign affairs are handed over to Wei Zeng.
A year ago, Wei Zeng led his men to run 300 miles and killed a small tribe that invaded the camp; He also killed the leader of a group of rebels who had fled from Kansai, and incorporated the rebel army that had surrendered. So the name of Mobei Flying Eagle spread far and wide. The camp where Wei Zeng is located is also known as the Flying Eagle Village. Outsiders didn't know about the situation of the Xishan faction, so they regarded Wei Zeng as the big boss of the camp.
After exterminating the horse bandits, Wei Zeng led everyone back. Some of the horse bandits were willing to join the Flying Eagle Village for various considerations, so Wei Zeng asked them to arrange a place to live and work.
Flying Eagle Village has a lot of homeless people in the past few years, and now it has become several connected villages, with the development of the camp, Wei Zeng is not too happy, just because it means that the situation is getting more and more difficult.
"Second Senior Brother, there are now more than 2,000 people in the village, you must buy more food and come back, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with a famine, and you can't rob like a horse thief." There are still large areas of wasteland on the east and north sides of the stockade, which should be reclaimable. Wei Zeng said.
"I'll pay attention to these things. There are still a few pieces of wasteland on the east side that can be developed, but the terrain in the north is too high, too far from the water source, and the soil quality is not good. Zhen Haocai replied.
"Everything is arranged by you, anyway, I don't know much about it. By the way, Wen Di heard that you visited Yaodong last year, have you ever seen Cha Yi? I haven't seen him for a few years, and I don't know how he is. Wei Zeng turned to Wen Di and asked.
"Naturally, I've been to Fenglian City and I've seen him. He has improved in martial arts now, and I heard that he is also well-known in the area of Fenglian City, but he still stays as before. Now he's very busy, following a little tiger every day, hehe, not to mention how interesting that is. Wen Di thought of something funny, covered his mouth and laughed.
"Little Tiger? It's not strange that there are rare tigers in Yaodong, but what does he do with tigers? Wei Zeng asked.
"What do you do when you catch a tiger? Catching a tiger is naturally a wife. But the way he pursues girls is really not flattering, especially such a girl with a big temper. Hehe. Wendi said with a smile on his face.
"Girls? I really didn't expect to check one also. Hehe, it looks like I'm going to see my future siblings like too. Wei Zeng shook his head and said.
"Wei Zeng, are you going to Yaodong? I'm familiar with Yaodong, and I can be your guide. The folk customs of Yaodong are still very distinctive compared with Middle Earth, everyone practices martial arts, there are goddess temples and fox fairy temples, and there are many sects and gangsters. Speaking of Yaodong's gangsters, they are terrible now, I heard that those gangsters received the support of the imperial court three years ago, and their power has risen sharply from dark to bright, and Yaodong's sect has been very low-key after the attack of the Jingshi three years ago. Wendy said.
"Weizhen mentioned Cha Yi a few days ago, we haven't seen each other for more than three years, and now the village has stabilized, so I just took Weizhen to Yaodong. Is there a gangster in Yaodong too? It must be similar to the wind wheal in Kanbei. Wei Zeng said.
"There are many gangsters in Yaodong, but they don't dominate Kanbei like the Wind Troupe, and there are Valkyries in Yaodong. Although these gangsters have been fighting in secret, they are still united under the command of the Valkyrie on the surface. I heard that the old Valkyrie died of illness, and the new Valkyrie is still being selected, so this return to Yaodong may be able to join in the fun. If it weren't for the Valkyrie, the candidate must be a native of Yaodong, and I would like to participate in it. Wendy said.
Wei Zeng walked for a few hours and walked to the front of the Flying Eagle Village, and saw Chi Xuewen, who was riding a horse and preparing to travel away. Wei Zeng stepped forward and asked.
"Senior brother, are you going to go far away?"
"I'm not thinking about my books. I heard that the Kansai Army had defeated the powerful army, and it was about to take back the castle. Kansai is also not as chaotic as it used to be. I happened to go to Xishan and brought back a few boxes of books that had been buried there. I hope those books are intact, but don't get damp and suffer from rats. Chi Xuewen said.
"Senior brother is going to Xishan." Wei Zeng remembered the past in Xishan and took a long breath.
"Is there anything you want to do for my brother?" Chi Xuewen said.
"It's nothing, it's already in the past anyway, senior brother be careful all the way." Wei Zeng said.
Outside the city, the 100,000-strong army of Kansai confronted the 80,000-strong army of death. A certain person personally led 30,000 Ding'an troops to command in the center.
Since receiving Feng Liansheng's funding two years ago, a certain person first recruited 3,000 villagers near his hometown to fight against the Death Sect, and with his superb command ability, he repeatedly made military exploits, and even took the risk of entering the siege when the Death Army invaded the military government garrison last autumn and saved a large number of high-ranking military officials such as the military government envoy.
A certain person was awarded the title of Ding'an Army for his meritorious service in guarding the military government, and was named the commander of the Jiedu Army. It is more convenient for a certain person to expand the army with the support of the military government, and it will be expanded to 30,000 Ding'an Army on the basis of 3,000 Xiangyong.
Later, the Kansai Military Government decided to temporarily put on the defensive against the Death Sect, intending to eliminate the weaker power sects in the North Land first, and a certain person was sent as a vanguard.
A certain person trained a highly disciplined and heroic unit in the war against the power sect, and defeated the main force of the power army this spring, and was named deputy military envoy to govern the 100,000 Kwanti army in the north.
A certain person ordered the local troops to continue to clear out the remnants of the Force, so he swung his troops southward and directed his troops at the base camp of the Death Sect in Hesu City.
Fang Dayou, who was in charge of the military affairs of the Death Sect in the Northland, clashed with the Ding'an Army several times, and knew the strength of the Ding'an Army, so he contracted the defense line and gathered troops to stop the Ding'an Army. So there was a scene outside the city, where 80,000 Death Cultists confronted the 100,000 Kwantan Army under Liu Yi's pressure.
Just between the two armies, the Kwanti Army separated a passage from the rear, and Feng Liansheng slowly walked to the command platform of the Kwantong Army in plain clothes. The soldiers of the two armies were all amazed when they saw Feng Liansheng, and the military formations that were scolding each other were silent for a while.
When someone saw Feng Liansheng coming, he hurriedly greeted her and helped her to the stage and said, "Madam, why are you here?" You are pregnant with Liujia, it is really not suitable to come to this place, you better go back to the camp to recuperate. You can rest assured that I have this matter. ”
"I've waited for more than two years for today, and I'm willing to see my enemies killed." Feng Liansheng shook his head and said, and walked to the front of the military platform and said to Liu Yi: "Liu Yi! If you dare to come today, then today is your time of death! You and I have a deep hatred, and this is the end of it," he said, picking up the snare drum and beating the war drum.
"The three armies obeyed the order, put down the rebellion for the country, and killed Liu Yi." Someone took the opportunity to shout.
"Quell the rebellion for the country and destroy Liu Yi! Quell the rebellion for the country and destroy Liu Yi! The morale of the Kansai Army was greatly boosted for a while, and the shouts were loud.
Elder Wu grabbed Liu Yi who was a little excited and said, "Holy Son, it's better to listen to the main business of the two armies. It wasn't too late for the woman to clean her up later. If you don't do anything yet, you have to see how long the Holy Son has been humiliated. ”
Fang Dayou was stunned for a moment when he saw a beautiful woman on the stage scolding and beating drums, and he couldn't react immediately. Hearing Elder Wu's reprimand, he hurriedly organized people to scold him back.
A certain man waved his flag, and the three armies of strong crossbowmen stepped forward one after another, and shot away at the enemy. In front of the army of death, several groups of spear and shield soldiers erected strong shields in front, sword and axe men raised their shields in the back to resist, and archers avoided the rear of the formation and fired arrows back. The Kansai crossbowmen retreated with a burst of crossbow shots, and the spearmen advanced with shields forming a shield wall.
In this case, the two armies were less than 100 meters apart.
The shield wall of the Kansai Army was separated, and the three teams of people rushed towards the army of death with five-meter-long giant spears in their hands, and for a time the front of the army of death was overwhelmed.
After the spearman struck, he threw away the spear, drew his dagger, and struck the black-clad pikeman who was still standing. The pikemen could not be used to kill the pikemen at close range, and there were many casualties.
Fang Dayou commanded the pikemen to retreat, and the axe hand to move forward. The spearmen of the rear captain of the Kansai Army came in formation, and there was another shock, causing a lot of damage to the death sabers and axes.
The crossbowmen shoot from behind the flanks, attacking the rear of the army of death. Squad after group of spearmen rushed towards the Death Army's formation, suppressing the Death Army's front back, and the Death Army's formation was shattered.
Fang Dayou still did not panic, and ordered the rear sergeants to form a formation and continue to resist the enemy. After the Kwantani Army broke through five lines of defense in a row, the momentum finally slowed down, and the rear of the Death Army was reinforced, and the frontal battlefield was stalemate.
10,000 Death Cultists attacked from the flanks under the command of Fang Dayou and killed the Kansai crossbowmen. The Kansai crossbowmen fired three shots and then retreated into the spear formation.
This group of Death Cultists was not afraid of life and death, and although they left hundreds of corpses under the blows of the crossbowmen, they still rushed to the Kansai military formation to catch up with the crossbowmen.
As the spearmen in the front row slowed down the enemy's attack, the crossbowmen picked up their shields and hammer daggers and formed a formation to fight the Death Cultists. The Cultists of Death were not afraid of death, but they could not help this immovable army, and were defeated by spearmen and melee crossbowmen.
The battle was stalemate, the dead army suffered heavy casualties, the morale dropped significantly, and there was a tendency to retreat under the attack of the Kansai soldiers who were pressing forward step by step.
Fang Dayou ordered the main generals to go to the front line to boost the morale of the army and kill the deserters to prevent the army from being defeated. But although Fang Dayou was a little anxious at this time, he was still relatively calm, and he looked at the rear of the Kansai Army looking forward to the appearance of his fatal blow.
Although the soldiers are not afraid of death, they do not encourage personal bravery, and only seek to advance and retreat together. Watching the Kwanti Army advancing step by step, the enemy formation was about to be defeated, and if someone clenched his fist, he wanted to let the main force of the Ding'an Army move forward to completely crush the army of death.
At this time, I saw a group of more than 5,000 black-clothed knights rushing behind the Kansai Army, rushing into the rear of the Kansai Army is a burst of slashing. Seeing this, the morale of the death army was greatly boosted, and they rushed to kill under Fang Dayou's order.
A person was thrilled in his heart, and he was glad that he did not put the main force of the Ding'an Army into battle too early. Seeing this situation, the three armies were ordered to shrink their formations with the Ding'an Army as the core to resist the two-sided attack of the Death Army.
After a burst of shock, the Kansai army did not rout, and the momentum of the death army slowed down. The Kansai Army had a tendency to fight back after fixing its footing.
Fang Dayou saw that he couldn't do anything, and knew that once the Kwantan Army counterattacked, it would not be good, so he asked Liu Yi for instructions to withdraw his troops to preserve his strength, so as to counterattack in the future.
Although Liu Yi wanted to defeat the Guanxi Army and snatch Feng Liansheng back, he also knew that Fang Dayou was a good fighter on the battlefield and would not be untargeted, so he agreed.
Fang Dayou gave the order to withdraw his troops. The army of death had long been demoralized and retreated after receiving orders to retreat. After several Death cultists who had abandoned their weapons and fled were beheaded by the overseers, the army of Death retreated in disarray, but in an orderly manner.
A certain person took the opportunity to order the main force of the An army to pursue, and took the lead to kill Liu Yi. But after Fang Dayou led 10,000 people, Liu Yi still retreated unharmed.
After the battle, a certain person returned to the army formation and said to Feng Liansheng with some apologies: "Although Madame defeated the army of death this time and took the opportunity to recover Hesu City, she still let Liu Yi escape. But don't worry, Madame, I will lead the troops south in the near future, and I will never come back if I don't kill Liu Yi. ”
"Forget it this time, anyway, there will be a chance in the future, and I'll go back to rest first when I'm tired." Feng Liansheng sighed after speaking, turned around and left without looking at a certain person.
"It's been more than two years since I was married to each other, and my wife is still so lukewarm to me, it seems that I must kill Liu Yi to please my wife. I did disappoint my wife this time, and I must not let Liu Yi run away next time. ”
