There was an "earthquake" in the Supervision Department in Chang'an City, but the forbidden army of the expedition knew nothing, and even the court was just a rumor. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The news of the Supervision Department was not paid attention to by the civil officials. All they cared about was the forbidden army of the Northern Expedition, whether it was victorious or defeated.

More than a month has passed, and there is no news at all, which is really strange.

In fact, they all know that they are in a hurry.

After all, more than half of the forbidden army was foot soldiers, and they marched slowly. Even if Datong Mansion is only 1,200 miles away from Chang'an City, it only takes half a month to walk more than 100 miles a day. If there were any more delays on the road, it would be even longer. After arriving at Datong Mansion, it will take a few days to reorganize the army and get out of the Great Wall. In this way, more than a month is considered fast.

Even Lu Chengqi doesn't know where the forbidden army is now.

Outside the Great Wall, by the ancient road.

"What kind of road is this?"

A forbidden soldier looked at this straight long road, and couldn't help but feel a little weak in his legs and feet.

"It seems to be asking the emperor to go on the road, I heard that it was built during the Qin Dynasty." A slightly more knowledgeable soldier of the Forbidden Army said uncertainly.

"Hey, you don't know, do you? I'm from Jingzhao Mansion, and I'm familiar with this road. Yes, this road was built by Qin Shi Huang and is called 'Straight Road'. From Kyoto Xianyang Ganquan Palace in the south to Kuhara County in the north, it passes through 14 counties and more than 1,800 miles. Commonly known as 'Emperor Road' and 'Sage Strip'! In recent years, His Majesty has also ordered the renovation to have the current scale, otherwise it would have been buried by weeds long ago. ”

A voice came from behind him: "You baby, you know a lot." Yes, this is Qin Zhidao. After Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, he began to build the Great Wall, governing straight roads and galloping roads. The Great Wall is a purely defensive fortification, which can be walked by the common people on weekdays, and is used for military purposes in wartime. During the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu repeatedly invaded the Central Plains, and Qin Shi Huang came up with this method. The straight road was guarded by many fortresses, and even if the Xiongnu crossed the Great Wall, they could not hit the Central Plains. After the fall of Qin, the Han Dynasty also used straight roads. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu tried to invade Guanzhong twice, one of which entered Xiaoguan and reached Yongxian and Ganquan. Since the Xiongnu intended to spy on Ganquan, why didn't they go south directly from Jiuyuan, but they had to make a detour to the foot of Liupan Mountain from afar?

It turned out that in the east and west of the Meridian Ridge, they were the Luo River Valley and the Malian River Valley. The steppe people invaded the Central Plains in the south, usually through the river valleys. And at that time, the Luo River Valley and the Malian River Valley were not harassed, what is the reason for this? The reason for this is that a straight road has been added to the Meridian Ridge, which makes the Xiongnu have to worry about it. Although they temporarily controlled Henan, they did not dare to entrench themselves for a long time. At that time, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu once occupied the Yinshan and Hetao areas, but soon withdrew again, which is the reason. The former Turks also invaded the south for a time, and the former dynasty was able to turn defense into attack, and then recapture Henan, set up three surrendered cities in the east, middle and west, and laid down the Yinshan defense line, which also played a vital role in the straight road. ”

The forbidden soldier took a look, it turned out to be Wang Shao, and hurriedly saluted: "General! ”

"Okay, we'll get to the Hetao later, and then the Hetao will go east, and it will be Yunnei Prefecture City. Further east of Yunnei Prefecture City is Datong Mansion. We said that we were going to Datong Mansion, but in fact, it was just a sound. The real purpose is to go to Yunnei Prefecture and join the two generals, Zhe Kexing and Zhu Daguang. After joining forces, go straight to the northeast and smash Huanglong! Wang Shao said with a smile, "It's the first time you go to the battlefield, aren't you nervous?" ”

"Report to the general, don't be nervous!" A forbidden sergeant clenched the Hongxiang-style rifle in his hand and grinned, "With this musket, are you still afraid of the Khitans?" ”

"Haha, that's the reason!"

Everyone laughed.

In three days, Yunnei Prefecture City is already in sight.

After joining forces with Zhi Kexing and Zhu Daguang, the army made a slight adjustment, and then turned around and headed for Linhuang Mansion.

"Brother-in-law, this is ...... The momentum of the decisive battle with the Khitans? ”

Yang Huaiyu also knew what was good or bad, and seeing that the atmosphere in the army had changed significantly, he also came to his senses and quietly asked Wang Shaodao.

"That's right, do you see the frequent scouts in front of you? They probably discovered the whereabouts of a large army of the enemy......" Wang Shao judged with certainty.

Yang Huaiyu also remembered that he had learned knowledge from the Royal Military Academy, swallowed his saliva, and said excitedly: "That is to say, in a while, you will be able to meet the enemy's main force?" ”

Wang Shao hesitated for a moment: "It's better to camp step by step, I estimate that I will set up camp tonight and wait for the enemy to come forward." ”

Yang Huaiyu was stunned: "Why, isn't it just to kill the past?" ”

Wang Shao hated the iron and said with a grudge: "You forgot? Wait for work with ease and win! Our Dashun troops this time are mainly stable, and we can't be greedy for merit, but we can only take it step by step! If you fall into an ambush again, you will be buried with an army of 400,000! ”

Yang Huaiyu said disdainfully: "How boring that is! ”

"Hey, you have to fight the battle, I estimate that the Khitans will come to steal the camp in the next two days!" Wang Shao said firmly, "When the time comes, we will have to keep the grain and grass, remember, we must place the grain and grass separately!" ”

"Why don't you keep the fodder for the horses tightly and distribute the dry food to the men?" Yang Huaiyu said on a whim.

Wang Shao was stunned: "This is a good idea!" Even if the Khitans want to sneak attack, they won't be able to please them! ”

After they summed it up, they immediately reported it to the clinic. The idea was too novel for the clinic to take the risk, but it didn't disagree. After leaving half of the grain and grass separately, half of the dry food was distributed to each soldier, which was enough for half a month.

At the fifth watch that night, more than 20,000 Khitans came to steal the camp.

Eh, it's a bit inappropriate to say that the camp is stealing, they all came openly and slapped their horses and charged.

Fortunately, the forbidden army was equipped with a secret sentry, and when the Hongxiang-style rifle rang out through the dark night grassland, the forbidden army was awakened. The forbidden army is usually a pillow and a bed, and even if there is an emergency, the response is very fast. This group of Khitans was blocked by obstacles such as rejecting horses and wires, and they couldn't get along at all. There were even people who fell into the trap and were stabbed to death by the trap.

The battle lasted until dawn, and the Khitans left more than a thousand corpses and left calmly.

In this battle, although the forbidden army did not suffer much loss, but seeing the tenacity and martial courage of the Khitans, all the soldiers were no longer as relaxed and casual as before, but really tensed their nerves.

They knew that this battle was just a sentinel battle.

The real war has just begun.

This is a war that will determine the direction of the two peoples, and the Han people are prepared, but what about the Khitans? They just thought that Dashun was just for show, but as everyone knows, they have already made up their minds to fight to the death.

With mental arithmetic or unintentional, who can have the last laugh?

Only God knows......
