Volume 3 Mending the Crack in the Sky Chapter 99 (3)

On the official road in the northeast of Taiyuan City, smoke and dust rise like fog. This official road, winding between the river valleys, from Yanmen Pass through Daizhou through Shiling Pass and arrived at Taiyuan Mansion. It is the main thoroughfare between Yue Fei's department and here.

On the roads west of Taiyuan Mansion, these days have been rushing to build military villages, and tens of thousands of people who have either been requisitioned or joined by themselves are busy building Taiyuan Mansion into a complete defense system. In the east, it is still impossible to take care of it for a while, anyway, there is such a natural danger as Shiling Pass in the northeast, Hebei is still in hand, and the paths in the south of Taihang are also worry-free for the time being, and the resources and manpower are limited, so there is no new defense system to be built in the east of Taiyuan Mansion.

In the eastern direction, only the Raki pass by from time to time. Check the people who come and go, and at the same time cover the main road that supports the Yanmen defense line.

And the transport and supply system to the front line, which had been suspended for several days, is now beginning to function. A convoy of troops has already taken up the road, and the grain and grass and military materials accumulated in Taiyuan Mansion are being transported to the front line one after another.

On this road, there is a vague return to the busy and lively scene of the past.

The dust and smoke rising in the distance meant that a military horse was hurrying forward. A few days ago, when people were panicking and the wind was rumors, I can't tell how fast and fast those people on the road are going to scatter in a hurry. But now, these people are in the middle of the road, standing on tiptoe, raising their heads, wiping their sweat, and looking eastward.

A few days ago, the Jurchen Tartars went deep into the building, and the soldiers and horses were all wiped out. Now the king of Yan is sitting in Taiyuan, and the reinforcements from all over the world have gathered, needless to say that at this moment, the soldiers and horses of the general Yue must be in front of the east, even if it is a Tartar, there is the king of Yan. Are you still afraid of birds?

The escort of this convoy. It's Jiang Wei's subordinates. However, there were only twenty or thirty horsemen and horses -- the original Taiyuan Mansion field troops. All rushed to Lou Fu, Han Shizhong's reinforcements only arrived yesterday, and Xiao Yan gave them a day of rest and recuperation. Even if the Divine Guard Army came with a royal car, it would take some time to reach Taiyuan. At present, manpower is tight everywhere, and it is already the limit to be able to pull out one or twenty horsemen to escort and cover a convoy.

The twenty horsemen swept away their original lazy appearance, although the crotch horses were not good, and there were even mules and donkeys. Equestrianism isn't much better. But he still greeted him without flinching. The leader of the army is a man sent by the head. At the age of thirty, he is still strong, and when he urges the horse forward, he looks loyal and diligent.

Jiang Wei's troops were all adapted from the original forbidden army stationed on Hedong Road, and the status of the two strong field armies in Hedong was naturally far away, and he also fled quickly when he ran with Wu Min.

After the arrival of King Yan himself, in Mengshan and under the city of Taiyuan, hundreds of heads, including Wu Min, were cut off. It struck a blow at these horses. Now everyone still has a sin of desertion, and if they don't redouble their efforts, they always feel a little chilly behind their necks.

Except for the power of the Yan King. There are also the benefits promised by Xiao Yan. With these thousands of miscellaneous people and horses in Jiang Wei's department, Xiao Yan has promised that at the right time, he will issue a military horn and become the fifth regular army of Yan Wang's department! It turned out that the salary and reward received by the Shenwu Changsheng Army was enough to make these Hedong garrison forbidden troops red-eyed, and if they could be the fifth regular army under the command of King Yan, there would be a lot more benefits on it. And now everyone can see that the Great Song Dynasty has faced earth-shaking changes, King Yan has a strong army, if he can completely defeat the Jurchens, then what will become of the Great Song Dynasty, everyone has a little to say. But for the sake of military ministers, isn't it the best way to follow King Yan?

Although the road ahead is unpredictable and carries great risks. Once in battle, life and death are unknown. But whether people choose to take risks depends on whether the rewards of successful adventures are large enough. If everyone's life is great, and they can survive this heavenly crisis, they can be regarded as King Yan's henchmen. The future returns can be imagined!

One is Xiao Yan's killing power and the prosperity of a strong army. The other end is to follow the dragon's work for the henchmen. Because of these forbidden troops stationed in the old Hedong, they suddenly had ten times more loyalty, diligence and bravery.

Sure enough, a large group of military horses rolled in the smoke and dust, and these twenty or thirty horsemen also met them. The leader of the team shouted loudly: "Who is the military horse who came?" ”

At the front of the line, a crowd poured out. He is very young, but he has the power of a general. The sharp breath is still far away.

The young general frowned: "A certain Yue Fei came to aid Taiyuan." Didn't you receive an express message before? ”

Nadu suddenly rolled off the saddle, bowed down to the dust, and said loudly: "Why didn't you receive Yue Shuai's transmission?" ”

Xiao Yan personally sat in Taiyuan, and the building was troubled and victorious, and the hearts of Taiyuan people were naturally much more stable. But the field soldiers and horses were all in front, and the city was empty, and there was some panic.

However, as the reinforcements drawn by Han Shizhong arrived first, Yue Fei, who was farther away on the road, sent a messenger to inform the news that the first section of the Dragon Guard Army was also coming. In the city of Taiyuan, the hearts of the people are really settled.

The elite under the command of King Yan gathered, and the Divine Guard Army will soon arrive north, and the royal driver is also among them. Taiyuan is already impregnable!

Don't say whether the Tartars can still threaten Taiyuan, looking at this posture, King Yan will gather the elite, and then recruit the western army to attack from the west and fight with Zong Han outside the river. After defeating the Jurchen Western Route Army, he swung his division to Hebei and fought against the Jurchen Eastern Route Army. Finally, this is the work of saving the sky!

The news that several military horses were gathering towards Taiyuan, Xiao Yan did not keep it secret, but told the whole city. It is nothing more than to calm people's hearts and boost morale. This capital naturally also knew that when he was ordered to escort a grain and grass baggage to the northeast, he hoped to see the almost legendary Yue Invincible under the command of King Yan on the way.

A few years ago, he was just a warrior in Hebei, and he was far from the forbidden army stationed in such a place. Now it's all the way. Immediately the big guns are matchless, and I don't know how many Tartars have been overturned! Such extravagant characters, but for a somewhat motivated military man, who doesn't regard it as an idol?

They all bowed down, and behind them the soldiers who rode all kinds of animals also came down and bowed down. Yue Fei nodded: "You just have to go on the road, and when you escort you, be diligent." See you again in the Japanese army. ”

Nadu nodded hurriedly, straightened his waist and said loudly: "Yue Shuai, my name is Zheng Qiguan, I can open a stone bow when I step down, and I also have the ability to use long and short blades immediately." If it is a god and a martial arts army, there is a shortage to make up for it. When the time comes, I hope Yue Shuai will remember me! This grain and grass are heavy. Yue Shuai was relieved. We must be sent to the Daizhou camp quickly and properly! ”

Yue Fei smiled mildly and nodded at this Wang Qiguan, showing a little encouragement. Then he kicked the horse in the belly and galloped away. The guards behind him, together with a large group of men and horses, rolled up the dust like a yellow dragon and kept up.

Hedong now has two strong field armies, and in terms of the strength of the cavalry army, Longwei is still slightly above the Shenwu Victorious Army. Not to mention that the cavalry of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army almost ran out of three commands under Loufu City, which can be called a heavy loss.

Yue Fei led the cavalry army that also traveled to aid Taiyuan. Naturally, they are all the elite of the Dragon Guard. It was really like a dragon and a horse, sharp and fierce, and the people who saw the carts avoiding the roadside straightened their eyes, and just let out a series of cheering cheers!

Zheng Qiguan also let the road open, and looked at the strong army in front of him blankly. He is stationed in the forbidden army, and he is tall among the short men, so he has some ability. Now I want to join these two strong armies with one mind. Although I know that if I go in, I will have to fight a tough battle, and the possibility of dying in battle is not small. But only in this strong army of Yan Wang's most henchmen who fought to the death, can he have the opportunity to rise from a pawn to the status of a major general in a short period of time! As long as you have some ability, you are willing to die for King Yan!

Zheng Qiguan was just dizzy when he saw it. Yearning. Some of the soldiers heard his bold words just now, and they even joked to him during the gallop.

"This bird man. What kind of ability is it to open a stone bow? Pick one of us at random, who can't kill five or six birds with one stone? ”

"Wait until you can open a stone bow right away, shoot five out of ten, and then find Yue Shuai in front of you!"

"It's okay to transfer grain and grass to us in a down-to-earth manner, and you can't do a lot of it. This vicious battle is fought to the death, and we should just let us fight. In the future, if you are a horizontal class, you will be knighted, and you can just keep your eyes open! ”

"To be honest, this tough battle is not something that can be fought by any bird!"

These fierce sergeants laughed casually, like the wind. Zheng Qiguan was so excited by what they said that he suddenly went down a lot, and scolded in his heart.

"Straight lady thief, Lou is annoying to the death, and you didn't fight, what is there to say? It's not a Shenwu ever-victorious army! ”

Suddenly, Zheng Qiguan saw that there was a knight in the team. Tall and slender, he was probably hot during the gallop, and he hid the top of his head, revealing a strange short hair. However, at this moment, Zheng Qiguan also saw the knight's face clearly.

It was a beautiful girl's face with a bit of heroism. Beside this young knight, how many armor soldiers also guarded her tightly, covering her more tightly than Yue Fei.

Zheng Qiguan was just surprised, why are there still women in Yue Shuai's army?

Yue Fei, who was the first to gallop in front, naturally didn't know that Guo Rong, who was going south with him in the team, was actually seen by Zheng Qiguan, and for a while he still despised the Long Wei Army in his heart, and from then on he unswervingly believed that the first strong army under the command of King Yan was the Shenwu Winning Army, and the Dragon Guard Army was so far worse than it.

Seeing that Taiyuan was approaching, Yue Fei's expression did not relax at all.

There is no other reason, just thinking about the current battle situation.

King Yan personally sat in Taiyuan and concentrated his forces to fight Zong Han. Not only did Han Shizhong belong to this war zone, but even Yue Fei, who was supposed to take into account both the east and west directions, did not let him go back to the town when he passed the military order on the way, but asked Yue Fei to rush to Taiyuan to wait for the dispatch, and in the Longwei army, as many military horses as he could, as many military horses as he could, he would return to Taiyuan as much as possible!

And the Divine Guards who are coming. King Yan is ready to concentrate as many elite soldiers as possible under his command, and his intention to fight a decisive battle could not be clearer.

However, in order to force the Jurchen Tartars to fight in such a situation, they also need the cooperation of all parties. The western army should be properly coordinated when attacking from the west. Although there is a royal commander in the army of King Yan, he can give orders by imperial decree. But whether the Western Army can be dispatched and cooperate seamlessly is something that no one can say!

And for a while, the elite soldiers and fierce generals were inclined to the west, and the Yandi side of Hebei was weak, so could it support the time when the king of Yan won in the east of the river and then advanced eastward?

But if King Yan doesn't do this, what choice does he have? The Jurchen army is surging, blindly preventing blockage, only getting more and more embarrassed, and there will eventually be a time when it can't be blocked. Stretching for thousands of miles and just doing simple defense, that's a joke. The chance to win is to seize the opportunity, take the risk of concentrating forces, and defeat the Jurchen Tartars all the way in a decisive battle!

Now the time has come, the Jurchen strikers are blocked and annoyed, and the brigade is deep. There is the Western Army in the west. There is the king of Yan in the east. It was the opportunity for the decisive battle. So King Yan took advantage of the situation to make such a decision.

Can the Western Army cooperate well. Can Hebei hold on? These two questions. He has been tossing and turning in Yue Fei's chest for the past few days. If this battle fails, the ending of the Great Song Dynasty will be unimaginable.

In the dust and smoke, Taiyuan is already in sight. Yue Fei let out a long sigh and decided to throw these worries out of the clouds. The decision made by King Yan was not wrong, and now is a rare opportunity to win. What do you want to do with so much and nothing? Now the plan, as a heavy general under the command of King Yan, as a military minister of the Great Song Dynasty. Only in the battlefield, fight to the death!

I hope that the princes of the Great Song Dynasty can let us fight this battle well. I hope that the military horses in Yandi Hebei can delay the Jurchen East Road army for a long enough time!

In the team, Guo Rong, who was tightly embraced by the soldiers, also looked at the Taiyuan city wall that loomed in the sky in the dust and smoke.

The girl didn't have as many complicated thoughts as these famous generals in the bureau, and in her big clear eyes, there were three points of anger - this guy is finally here! Do you still think that I am fighting for him in the sword of wind and frost outside the plug?

Three points of grievance - why did this guy get married in Bianliang? Also married the emperor of the Zhao family? Why doesn't the little dumb object? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?

The remaining four points are all affection that the girl herself can't feel.

I really miss this guy............ Finally able to return to him!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the south of Taiyuan. North of Jincheng. A military horse with tens of thousands of men is surging south. Countless banners in the army were displayed. The power is extreme.

And in the army, there is a huge Huangluo umbrella cover representing the king of the Great Song Dynasty. This royal guard of honor that came out with the army, since the Yuanyuan, has not appeared in the Great Song Dynasty for many years!

This military horse is the Divine Guard.

The Divine Guards, which were very large and had a lot of baggage, were originally just training at an unfast pace while crossing the Yellow River one after another. But when Xiao Yan rushed to Taiyuan Mansion lightly, the entire army and horses suddenly sped up. I have been able to get my hands on a boat, and even the gang boat on the Bianhe River has been used. Within a few days, the unwieldy army was finally transported across the Yellow River.

Although the Yellow River has been crossed, there are still undercurrents turbulent in the Divine Guard Army.

One reason is that the composition of the Divine Guard Army is too mixed, so naturally it cannot be cleaned up like the Divine Martial Victory Army and the Dragon Guard Army. And the royal driver is also in the army, and since the royal driver is here, he naturally has a set of civil servants who go out with the army. Although the imperial decrees that came out of the army were all carried out in accordance with Xiao Yan's will, the draft edict was to be Hanlin, and the procedure was legal and had to be sealed by the people of Dongfu who went out with the army. This team is not small.

The Jurchen army was surging south, and Taiyuan saw the threat, and Xiao Yan hurried to put out the fire. These people of all colors, who were originally just temporarily suppressed by Xiao Yan, naturally had different thoughts. Some people even began to discuss how to contact those Yao Gu old troops in the Divine Guard Army to see if they could do something.

Fortunately, Wang Gui Tang Huai had already brought a piece of Xiao Yan's henchmen to come, and Zhang Xian took Ban Zhi, who was all Xiao Yan's henchmen, to take over the military power. Wang Yu did not cause any trouble at this time, and helped stabilize the morale of the army with the prestige of a veteran. This made the turbulent undercurrent not cause any trouble for a while.

But as long as Xiao Yan failed to save the situation, Xiao Yan's two main forces were isolated north of Taiyuan. Who knows what kind of big changes will happen in the Divine Guard!

I don't know how many people are secretly praying that Xiao Yan can not be in Taiyuan, and that the Jurchen military horses can defeat the Great Song Dynasty people and horses under Xiao Yan's command to annihilation!

But all of this, when the Chuancai who came from Taiyuan rushed to the Shenwei army at an almost dead speed and passed on the latest military information, these other dark thoughts came to an abrupt end for the time being.

Xiao Yan rode to Taiyuan with dozens of horses, and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians returned to the town with him. And Xiao Yan collected a small number of military horses, so he blocked the Jurchen soldiers in the building, and beheaded the Jurchen generals Yinshuke, beheading more than 3,000 levels. The tide of battle has turned around!

And Xiao Yan mercilessly beheaded the former Xifu privy, and now he is handsome all the way. Among the Wenchen, the status can be regarded as the top first-class Wu Min!

Just because Wu Min abandoned the city and fled!

So powerful, so decisive, so killing. It made those princes who were thinking about it all feel a chill down their spines. When he didn't see Xiao Yan's real defeat, he could only honestly follow the army for a while, but Xiao Yan had an order, and he had to obey!

But the hatred in my heart is getting deeper and deeper.

If this son from the south wins this battle, his position will be stable. Can this world still be the Great Song Dynasty? What does it take to completely bring down this Nanlaizi and break him into pieces!

The speed of the Divine Guard Army also increased suddenly. People shouted that the horses neighed, hugged the royal car, and went straight to Taiyuan.

In the queue, Jin Zhangxian was dressed in a heavy general's robe, and the flag was not far from the royal car. has always maintained a posture of staring at the Zhao family.

Dozens of horsemen lined up and rushed to Xiao Yan's side. The leader is none other than Wang Gui.

Seeing Wang Gui coming, Zhang Xian smiled: "Big brother, have you seen the latest order from King Yan that I passed over?" ”

Wang Gui nodded. Xiao Yan's follow-up order was not complicated, that is, to urge the Divine Guard Army to speed up their march and rush to Taiyuan as soon as possible. And leave a certain number of reliable people along the way to ensure that the back road is worry-free. And the latest military information was transmitted, Han Shizhong was already sitting in the direction of Gugu Village, and Xiao Yan also transferred Yue Fei to lead his troops to Taiyuan. This posture is to concentrate forces and prepare for a decisive battle with the Jurchen Western Route Army.

Zhang Xian asked, "What does the eldest brother think?" ”

Wang Gui sighed: "What else is there to think about?" Fighting desperately before the battle is ............ As long as we can fight this battle steadily, no one will have anything happen to them! ”

Zhang Xian has always followed Xiao Yan's side, and Zhang Xian has personally participated in the turmoil that Xiao Yan has stirred up in Bianliang. I have long had no illusions about what kind of character the characters in the Great Song Dynasty were.

At the moment, he just sneered: "Let them follow, even if they jump out at that time, King Yan will sweep them away after all!" Big brother, I only believe that luck is in the king of Yan! ”

Wang Gui smiled bitterly, he had never personally experienced Xiao Yan's methods in Bianliang, and he did not have the confidence of Zhang Xian. These days of mastering the Divine Guard are ten times harder than when they were in the clouds. His face, which had already looked old, was now more and more haggard.

This is a national war!

Don't all the princes understand this truth? Let those of us who are willing to fight a bloody battle with the Tartars not be able to fight a battle to the death with peace of mind?

King Yan led us to fight for you!

This is in danger of the world, if there is no Yan King, what kind of situation will it be?

Wang Gui, who has never been very fond of speaking ill of others, sighed, grinded his teeth and said: "Hurry up and get to Taiyuan, even if you go into battle and work hard, it is better than seeing all kinds of people in this army!" King Yan beheaded Wu Min, it was really happy! (To be continued......)
