Woo woo woo -

The short sound of the bull's horn sounded, echoing for a long time on both sides of the luxurious water. A flock of crows flew up in terror from the mountains and forests, chaotically passing through the setting sun.

When the noisy birdsong died away, everything fell silent again.

The mountain wind swirling from the north swept across the wilderness of the loop like a knife, tearing away the sound of the trumpet.

In the majestic Gobi and mountains, there is the howl of wolves hunting.

A group of cavalry galloped in formation, kicking up billowing smoke and dust, the rumbling hooves of horses mixed with the sonorous sound of swords, and in the mist spewed out by many war horses, countless faces that had experienced wind and frost loomed. Behind the cavalry were neat infantry, their heavy and uniform footsteps and the sound of the armor rattling and vibrating like the gradual thunder of the distant mountains, rolling like bamboos on the endless Gobi in front of the mountains. No one spoke in the long line, the cold light of the spears surged, and among the horizontal knives that were brushed, one or two mutilated crumbles flashed from time to time.

The raging wind swept the dust beneath the team's feet, and the steaming heat poured out from the sharp armor.

The breathtaking military might made the strong wind have to calm down, and stopped abruptly in front of the team, just holding its breath and flicking the battle flag of the team.

The black battle flag is waving in the wind, the red flag is particularly eye-catching, and the big red character "Qin" is on the flag.

The wind is flying. A slaughter.

The snare drum beats. The trumpets are sounding!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! Greet! ”

The gate of the barracks opened with a bang......

The last rays of sunset on the horizon are now sinking into the northwest of the Gobi Desert, and the slightly black clouds are outlined with golden borders, reflecting the continuous tents between the Gobi and the mountains.

The evening wind in the Gobi was cold, and thousands of flags fluttered in the cold wind, scattering the smoke rising from the barracks. Around the warm campfire, groups of soldiers with unbroken armor sat around them, their faithful horses snorting, digging their hooves irritably, and hurriedly munching on the forage in their mouths.

This is the Shuofang on the Gobi in the Hetao area, and the snowflakes called Shuofang are flying after the flakes. But it will always be like powder, like the sand of Shuofang.

Shuo, the north also. Shuo also refers to the cold air in the north, which is very cold. It can also be called Shuofang. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stationed in the city, he took the meaning of "Shuofang City" in the Book of Songs and named Shuofang County.

This was once the foundation of the Liang division's army, and it was also annexed by Liu Wuzhou, and now, the elite army stationed here is the Qin army. The Qin army under the personal command of Xue Rengao, the prince of Western Qin, was a strong army that finally fought here along the Hetao from Longshang along the way.

Xue Rengao, the crown prince of Qin and the deputy marshal of the Qin Army's Eastern Expedition, squinted slightly, and was standing on the lookout platform of the camp to watch the somewhat restless military camp. Since the end of November, Xue Rengao set out from Ulan City with 10,000 light horses. Capture Lingwu, go down to Wuyuan, break Yulin, and finally hit Shuofang, Yanchuan, and Honghua. Pinching his fingers, it has been more than half a month since he went on the expedition. But all the way along the Hetao almost made a big circle, and the Qin army, which had been fighting for thousands of miles, was not only not dragged across, but became stronger and stronger. When he first set out on the expedition, he only led 10,000 light horsemen, but now, there are 40,000 horses in the military camp here, and there are 10,000 soldiers and horses he sent in Yanchuan and Honghua counties.

A series of victories had made his Qin soldiers forget about the previous defeat at Jitou Mountain. The morale of the soldiers was high, and they were all encouraged by a series of victories, hoping to take Diaoyin County in one go, intercept the rear road of the Chen army, and then destroy the Chen army in one fell swoop. Gao Qin returned triumphantly.

"Have all the battalions arrived?" Xue Rengao asked.

"Your Highness, the 5,000 men and horses of the new Iron Eagle Swordsman Battalion, which was formed by the elite of each battalion, have just arrived. In addition, 10,000 of His Royal Highness's tent and the Flying Cavalry Battalion have arrived. After the Zhou surrendered soldiers reorganized into the Xuanjia, Huben, hussar three battalions of 9,000 men and horses and two battalions of Longyoufan soldiers have arrived, and the second battalion has just recruited 10,000 new Ding has also arrived, to sunset, the whole army in addition to the baggage team, a total of 34,000 soldiers in ten battalions have been in place. The reply was Adjutant General Xue Huailiang, "A sentry has come to report that they are in Jingzhen, more than 60 miles west of Luyanshui, and will arrive before noon tomorrow." ”

The baggage team not only carried a large amount of grain and grass and consumable ordnance, but more importantly, it was important to carry heavy weapons such as crossbows, trebuchets, siege vehicles and other heavy weapons that were indispensable for the siege. To enter Diaoyin from Shuofang, you must cross the ancient Great Wall, and the first pass is the Runing City between the mountains.

The north of Runing City is surrounded by mountains, the north is bordered by luxury water, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Chen Jun has 3,000 defenders stationed here, there are no those powerful siege equipment, if you want to capture it, you have to take your life but fill it, take time to waste.

"General Chang Zhongju of Yulin has just sent a messenger, saying that according to the order of His Highness, he has sent people to cross the Yellow River into the city of Dingxiang Dali in the east of the river to meet the Turkic Khan Tong Yehu. Tell His Highness that he wants to join forces with him to deal with Chen Pojun, and even say that my Great Qin is about to attack Chen, and I hope they can help. However, General Chang reported that Tong Yehu only met with the envoy sent, and after accepting the heavy gift, he only asked his subordinate military advisors to meet him, and then did not show up. Regarding the issue of borrowing troops, there is no clear answer. Your Highness, the Turks have formed an alliance with the Xu army, and General Chang also said that our envoy met Yu Wenshi and Shen Luoyan in Dali. Your Highness, now that the Yuwen clan is mixed with the Turks, it is better for us to send troops directly to Yan'an, and then go straight to Chang'an along Luoshui."

"When you kill a happy person, what are you panicking about?" Xue Rengao said coldly.

"Send a letter to Chang Zhongxing, ask him to prepare another batch of generous gifts to Dali, since Tong Yehu is willing to accept our gifts, then we will give him more. There are 500 pieces of silk, 20 satins, 1,000 catties of gold, and 100 beauties. ”

Xue Huailiang couldn't help but take a long breath: "Such a heavy gift is enough for the military for a long time."

"I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, he swallows it today, and we will find a way to make him vomit it twice in the future. The Turks are now mixed up with the Yuwen clan, and if we want to take Guanlong, we can't avoid them. Now to give heavy gifts to the Turks, I don't ask them to really send troops to support us, but I just ask him to turn a blind eye and stop directly interfering in our battle with the Yuwen clan. Guan Long, after all, is the battle between our Xue family and the Yuwen clan. Xue Rengao said lightly.

Looking at the south for a long time, Xue Rengao sighed softly, and the far south is Chang'an. Last time, the army of the Xue family once attacked a hundred miles below Chang'an City, but unfortunately it fell short in the end.

Frowning, Xue Rengao patted the guardrail a little irritably, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Send another letter to Chang Zhongxing and the King of Jin, and tell them to stick to Wuyuan and Yulin, and be careful to guard against the Turks." The Hetao area is the richest place in Guanlong, and now my Great Qin needs to be replenished and restored, and the Hetao must not be lost. Gritting his teeth, he said: "Send another team of people to Chang'an, and tell Yu Wenhua that as long as Yu Wenhua does not attack us, we are willing to surrender ourselves to the first rank and go to the emperor to become king." Since then, Qin has been a vassal of Xu, and said that we are willing to send troops to help Xu's army cut off Chen's army's rear route and flank Chen's army together. In addition, remember to bring more gifts and send all the gold, silver and jade copied from Liu Wuzhou's palace to Chang'an. ”

After the last battle with Yuwen Chengtoe, Xue Rengao's temper has also improved a lot. What's more, he's now starting to think holistically, and he's using his brain more. The annexation of Liu Wuzhou this time made Xue Rengao see clearly that sometimes, force is not the most important, and appropriate weakness can have a better effect.

If it weren't for showing weakness to Chen's army before the war and pretending to surrender, how could they have destroyed Hou Zhou so easily. Now, in the face of the situation of Guan Longxu, Chen, and Qin, he can't help but want to repeat his old tricks again.

Although the relationship between Qin and Xu has long been an endless situation, Xue Rengao believes that this plan of his own is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy. Even if Yu Wenhua knew his intentions, he would not have a better choice in this kind of Three Kingdoms melee. If he didn't accept Qin Xu's attack on Chen, then he would have to consider being attacked by Qin Chen.

The last rays of golden light fell on the horizon, and the heavens and the earth were darkened.

At this time, a horse galloped and went straight into the camp.

"Report, Your Highness, the scouts who are monitoring Runing City in front have found that a cavalry squad of the Chen Army is leaving the city in the evening and is heading west." Scouts panted for reports.

"How many?"

"About two hundred riders, it seems to be escorting some important person, and more than 100 riders are elite!"

Xue Rengao pinched his chin, which was covered with a beard like steel needles, and after pondering for a while, he said loudly: "Immediately transfer five hundred Iron Eagle swordsmen and tell them that the time has come to test them." Come on, prepare a horse for the lonely man! ”

A moment later, Xue Rengao, who was dressed in full armor, had already jumped on his horse and waved his halberd, and led the five hundred reorganized Iron Eagle Swordsman Battalion to ride out of the camp and head straight to the south.

On the mountain road under the ancient Great Wall, it was already bloody at this time. In the sound of the crackling torches, the flickering flames lit up the blood that had not yet come and coagulated, and the stumps and severed arms all over the ground.

The undead vanquished lay on the ground groaning, and a small group of blood-stained Qin army swordsmen with large swords in their hands were harvesting their heads on the Chen soldiers one by one, regardless of whether they were dead or alive.

"Your Highness, a letter has been found!" Xue Huaiyi, the captain of the swordsman battalion, strode forward, grabbing a man in a general's costume who had passed out in one hand, and holding a letter that had been stained red with blood in the other.

Xue Rengao hurriedly opened it, read it in a hurry, and the next moment, let out a laugh: "God help me, God help me!" ”……)
