Chapter 65: The Widow of Ningmen (I)
The moment before the expedition, He Ran sent Su Xiyao away, his heart was empty all of a sudden, for him, a person with no ambitions, the greatest pursuit is to be carefree and idle, come to this world, and win the favor of so many peerless beauties, which has far exceeded his previous expectations for a happy life, it can be said that he is happy to a mess, he feels that he has gotten what he deserves, and he has gotten what he shouldn't get, and he has no motivation to struggle, what he has to do is to try his best to keep everything in his hands, But this is not an easy task, such as at this moment, there are beautiful women in the garden, but they can't be accompanied by each other.
Looking at the direction of Jingqu City, his heart was full of boredom, when will the battle end forever? After destroying the Zhao State, I'm afraid that new troubles should come, and hand over all the heavy tasks to Shi Lang, can he handle it? Life is only a hundred years, the chaotic times created by the scum have taken him more than 20 years, this small group of beasts has stirred up trillions of people to live in peace, it should really be a thousand cuts, between thoughts, the depression in the chest accumulates more and more, I can't wait to immediately wave a knife to cut a few such scum to vent.
"Herald the march!" He almost gritted his teeth and issued this military order, and a hint of happiness rose in his heart. Yes, he is now not the little foot in his previous life who can only suppress depression in his heart, but a military division of a country with thousands of troops and horses, although he can't kill all the scum in the world, but everything that falls into his hands can be killed!
In the rumbling war drums, ten thousand horses neighed, and the heroic division of Yi Guo, who returned to the horseback, was like a new sharpening edge, exuding a terrifying murderous aura, and pounced viciously towards the established goal.
When the camp was set up that night, the fast horses returned, and the defenders of Yijing City fled without a fight, and the forward battalion had rushed to Jiyan Town.
Next, the forward battalion reported frequently, and it took only three days to destroy the city and pull out the village, and Zhao Junguo had no power to resist as Xungu said.
He Ran urged the brigade to follow closely, arrived at the cross slope at dusk this day, He Ran ordered the army to settle in the camp, here is only fifty miles away from Jingqu City, he sent three thousand men and horses to join the front camp to attack the Yushuitan thirty miles southwest at night, Yushuitan is the last garrison in the east of Jingqu City, there were originally 5,000 guards in the tun, according to the information of Xungu, the men and horses here have been transferred away 3,000, there are only less than 2,000 people at present, the forward battalion of Dongfang Ao has 3,000 people, plus the 3,000 people sent, Defeat an enemy of 2,000 with 6,000 elites and be sure of victory.
He Ran thought that he would be able to sleep peacefully this night, but he didn't want an urgent report from the front when it was almost dawn: after a long time of hard fighting, he failed to capture the enemy camp, and the number of enemy troops was far more than two thousand, and General Dongfang had stopped the offensive.
Xun Gu was surprised when he heard the news, and said with a frown: "There are obviously about 2,000 people left, could it be that there are more troops in the past few days?" But the forbidden army in the city has already been dispatched, where are the soldiers and horses, unless they are transferred from the camp of the anti-Kang army from the north. ”
Hearing him say this, He Ran's face became a little dignified, if the extra people and horses in Yushuitan were really transferred from the north, then he couldn't help but act cautiously, although he didn't believe that Mo Ju would betray Yi Guo, but he had already given birth to an obstacle to Li Ping's founding of the country, and he had to be on guard.
After a little muttering, he ordered Dongfang Ao not to rush to attack Yushuitan for the time being, and to take action after clarifying the situation.
After breakfast, the forward battalion sent back the news again, and learned from the prisoners of war that the new arrivals were soldiers and horses from Qianjiang Prefecture, with more than 2,000 people.
Hearing the words "Qianjiang Mansion", Xun Gu gasped, a trace of panic appeared on his face, and he said with some disbelief: "There is only one widow left in Qianjiang Mansion, don't Zhao Min want to use the name of Qianjiang Mansion to boost the morale of the army, maybe it is not really the Ning family army who came." ”
"The Ning family's army is so famous?" He Ran asked casually, since it was not a soldier transferred from the northern front, he didn't care so much in his heart.
Xungu had heard of the experience of amnesia due to the encounter with the "Heavenly Tiger", and he was not very suspicious when he saw him ask this question at this moment, and explained with respect: "My lord thinks I don't remember, I think that the Ning family army was famous all over the world, and the Ning family is the unsurpassed meritorious family of the Zhao State, and the generation of good generals, it can be said that nearly half of the territory of the Zhao State was laid by the Ning family, and the Ning family army is brave and strong, the military discipline is strict, and the battle is invincible, so that the enemy is terrified, but ten years ago in a big battle with Fanbang, because of the edict of the king of Zhao, As a result, the Ning family army suffered a great defeat, eight of the nine brave and loyal grandchildren died on the battlefield, and Shilang, who fled back, was finally seriously injured and died in less than half a month, the Ning family has since been extinct, King Zhao felt ashamed, and personally mentioned the plaque of "Qianjiang Mansion", which means that Zhao has thousands of miles of territory is laid by the Ning family, but the Ning family only has a widow, no matter how high the glory is, what is the use? Since then, the Ning family's army has died down, and there are no more Ning family children on the battlefield. ”
After hearing this, He Ran said lightly: "If you don't fight for ten years, no matter how powerful your reputation is, it's useless." ”
Xun Gu smiled reluctantly, and said: "What the adults said is, but as the saying goes, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, the name of the Ning family army was too loud back then, although the Ning family is gone, but those fierce generals under the account are still there, if these people are all wearing armor, it is very powerful, even those female generals of the Ning family should not be underestimated, influenced by family learning, martial arts, Tao strategy is proficient, the second daughter-in-law and the little daughter-in-law have been in charge of soldiers and horses, especially the little daughter-in-law Wei is even more good, is the daughter of the general of Zhao Guo, the daughter of the general of the Zhao State, at the age of fifteen, she became famous in the three armies, skilled in swords and horses, and scheming. ”
He Ran nodded, and ordered: "Order the special department to pull out the camp and follow me to Yushuitan, and the general will strictly guard the camp." "There are 6,000 elite soldiers in the general's special department, plus 6,000 men and horses in Yushuitan, and nearly 12,000 elites to attack the enemy's 4,000 or so people are enough.
After the military order came out, the men and horses were immediately mobilized, and at this time, Xu Tong, who had already heard the news, hurried over and asked nervously: "Sure enough, the Ning family army is here?" ”
He Ran replied: "That's what the front reported, I'll go and see for myself." ”
Xu Tong said uneasily: "If they really come, let's be more careful, I think it's better for me to go." ”
He Ran smiled: "Did your courage ever scare Ning Jiajun?" ”
Xu Tong warned: "Don't take the enemy lightly, the Ning family army is not easy to get along with, not inferior to your Tibetan Xian Gu disciples." ”
He Ran said disapprovingly: "What you said was the Ning family army ten years ago, even if the divine weapon was hidden for ten years, I'm afraid it would be rusty, right, leading the army for many years, do you still need to say this truth?" ”
"That's right, but it's better to be careful, you don't know how powerful they are, I know a little bit about their tactics, or I'll go."
He Ran smiled evilly: "Have you heard that all the people who come here are widows and want to put them in the account?" If that's the case, I won't fight with you, you can go. ”
Xu Tong said angrily: "Be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs, go, go, I will send 5,000 people to answer you later, be careful." ”
