The wind whipped the snow seeds on the leather coat, making a crackling sound. Luo Jiuhe looked at the sky, and his face showed a sad expression.

"General Luo, you seem to be a little worried?"

Quan Gaihong stood beside him, turned his face sideways and said to him with a smile on his face.

For a long time, Luo Jiuhe has been a favorite general in the hands of Quan Gaihong, and he has even been "reused" by Quan Gaihong, basically every time there is a vicious battle, Luo Jiuhe will let the Han army fight. However, in this expedition to Lushun, Luo Jiuhe and the Han army were responsible for staying behind to guard against the chaos that might be caused by the southern invasion of the Khitans.

Luo Jiuhe has always been unimpressed with this rumor, winter was not the season to use soldiers, although southern Liaoning is still warm, but the Khitan people have to fight from the Song Desert, and the hardships they have to endure during this period are not ordinary. Even if the Khitan people are hardy, they are nearly a thousand miles away, and they can not be reached in a short time.

What makes people a little worried is those horse thieves who take advantage of the chaos, but there is no need for him and the entire Han army to stay on guard. Luo Jiuhe understands that the real reason for this lies in their identity: Han Chinese.

In the hands of these aliens, it is impossible for the Han people to be fully trusted, no matter how much credit is made for these aliens.

"The Tang people are cunning, that Ye Changneng assassinated Gao Baosheng alone, and he is also a brave and resourceful character, I am worried that Gao Yincheng is not his opponent." Luo Jiuhe said in a low voice: "Thorn history, don't be cautious"

"I am most glad that you are cautious." Quangai Hongha smiled: "But if you are too cautious, you are timid." That Ye surnamed Tang Dog claimed to be the Tang Xiangping guard, Jili Prefecture recorded to join the army, the actual armor in his hands is less than fifty, and there are only three hundred blades, I mobilized the army this time, the strength is enough to have three thousand, and it is effortless to break this enemy."

Luo Jiuhe could only smile bitterly, Quan Gaihong was too confident.

He did have 3,000 soldiers, but only 1,000 really belonged to Quan Gaihong, and the remaining 2,000 were all servant troops formed by gathering the forces of all parties, and the military orders could not be completely unified. Although the opponent's combatable soldiers were only 300, the news came that there were 3,000 people plus the militia. Because the preparation time is too long, the other party has lost its suddenness, and the other party is waiting for work, and sitting on the advantage of the terrain, it is really not a good time.

"What the assassin said is ......" But since Quan Gaihong didn't listen to the advice, he could only make peace, as a Han general, the result of disobeying the lord would inevitably be doubly suspicious.

"Gao Yincheng is a general in our army, that Ye surnamed Tang Dog is only twenty Xu, the milk smell is not there, he can kill Gao Baosheng, it only depends on the courage of blood and energy, Gao Yincheng will definitely succeed if he goes."

Everyone laughed, one by one claiming yes, Luo Jiuhe suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and echoed it.

The troops of 3,000 people, lined up in a column, took a lot of time to get out of Beisha City. Standing on the wall of Beisha City on the hill and looking at the troops, it was like a long snake, moving south along the mountain road and pounced into the distance. Luo Jiuhe suddenly thought that Ye Chang's killing of Gao Baosheng was indeed a sudden attack, not like he had a pre-planned plan, but he took Weizi Village and killed Wang Nai's whole family, but he did it extremely beautifully, and then swept and conquered the surrounding villages, and he also showed wisdom and bravery.

Gao Yincheng, known as the veteran general, is really his opponent?

Gao Yincheng is indeed the first general in the hands of Quan Gaihong, and in the past 20 years, he has taken the lead and made a lot of contributions. From Beisha City to Duli Town, it is only more than 100 miles, the distance is not far, and he is not in a hurry, commanding the whole army to travel for 30 days every day, and camp and rest without waiting for sunset, in short, do not give the Lushun army any chance to sneak attack.

The first time his army set up camp, someone came to report: "I saw a few horsemen in the distance, and after a few miles, I turned around and ran, and I was not in a hurry to chase them." ”

"It must be Tang Dog's scout, it's okay, let them panic." Gao Yincheng was unimpressed.

As he said, the number of horses that escaped was the scout sent by Nan Jiyun. They hurried their horses and hurried overnight, and the next morning they sent the news back to Weizizhai, and Weizizhai also sent fast horses to Lushun, and at noon, the fast horses that reported the news entered the Lushun camp.

Zhang Quanzhun, who was practicing on the school field, saw the two horses galloping in one after the other, and his eyes suddenly lit up

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the horn to sound, and immediately after, Nan Jiyun and other officers who were training left one after another, apparently to participate in the military conference.

"Zhang Dalang, what do you think...... Is that coming? ”

"Naturally, yes."

Another Goguryeo man next to him came up and asked, and Zhang Quanzhun nodded.

At the same time, Wu Dahai, who was on the dock, also straightened up and looked over here, behind him were several brothers plus Bian Ping's follower.

Previously, the brothers were disrupted and assigned to different ships, and there was almost no time to get together. Now that the sea route is frozen, everyone returns to the port, and every day they are circling in this small place at the mouth of Lushun, and as a fisherman, several people have leisure to get together.

"It seems that the Goguryeo people are going to fight, big brother, if this is the case, the big bargain will be taken by the Goguryeo people" Wu Dajiao looked at it for a while, and said to Wu Dahai: "I said earlier, let's just take two boats, but now it's good, maybe even we have to catch ......"

"Nonsense, you say that Ye joined the army is a good match, remember how Li Yong died in Beihai, he was killed by Ye Shenjun" Wu Dahai sneered: "The Goguryeo child in Beisha City, how can he be the opponent of this dog official, I am afraid that he will give meat to the dog"

"Big brother, you really can afford that guy, if that guy is really so powerful, you still dare to beat his boat and the idea of the craftsman?" Wu Dajiao was a little unconvinced.

"What is the most lacking in that guy, you either don't know the way, or you lack a sea worker. Floating across the sea, we have to be a veteran like us who has been at sea for more than ten years, and the dozens of landlubbers he brought from the land, in addition to giving us a hand as an apprentice, what else can we do? If I take his ship and his craftsmen, and go back to the south, and seek an island for my inheritance, what can he do to me? Wu Dahai said with a smile: "Why did our previous big boss exterminate the imperial court?" I have figured it out, that is, we have no inheritance of our own, and if we occupy an island and rob some people from the land to cultivate and work, we can call ourselves emperors and kings overseas."

Wu Dajiao looked at his brother in amazement, their names are naturally pseudonyms, but everyone grew up bare-bottomed together, and they are indeed as familiar as brothers, but he never thought that Wu Dahai, who was recognized as the eldest brother, would still have such ambitions.

"At that time, Brother Dahai will be the emperor, and you will be the prince, how can I throw a marquis?" Bian Ping heard this, and came up with a smile.

"You can't help but be a dog meat." Wu Dahai kicked him: "Go and move the fish over there." ”

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what if, if it'...... What if the dog officer can't hold on? Wu Dajiang said quietly.

"It has nothing to do with us if we can't hold on, the Goguryeo people occupy Lushun, so let's change our boss." Wu Dahai didn't care about this: "Don't the Goguryeo people use boats?" ”

"But the Goguryeo people are only afraid that they will not give us so much salary like the dog officials."

"Ha Luha, what is that little money, you all have to remind all the brothers, don't be bluffed by that little money, follow our brothers, glory and wealth are waiting" Wu Dahai said.

They whispered to each other, and after only half an hour they saw the officers leave the camp one after another, and then they saw a group of men and horses driving away.

"What are you going to do, if the Goguryeo people are calling, why are they sending soldiers and horses out?"

"Naturally, it is sent to Weizi Village, and the decisive battle lies in Weizi Village, if the Goguryeo people want to take Lushun, they must first take the capital, and if they want to take the capital, they must attack the Weizi Village."

Zhang Quanzhun and others who were guarding the school field were waiting for the results, and they were also talking in whispers, and many people were worried about whether their militia would be sent to the battlefield. Feeling the panicked atmosphere around him, Zhang Quanzhun was happy again.

Nan Jiyun led a person out, Zhang Quanzhun recognized that person, surnamed Xue, with a single name, it is said that he was originally a ranger in Chang'an City, and later followed Ye Chang. It's just that this person has always been wooden, and he can't be reused by Ye Chang, and he is an insignificant figure.

"In the future, you will be led by Xue Ze." Nan Jiyun summoned everyone, just hurriedly gave this order, and then gave another order: "The officers of each team are out of line, and you and I will rush to Weizi Village"

The militia is divided into Ruoyu teams, and the officers of each team are filled by the brave and healthy people among the victims outside Luoyang City, who are highly loyal to Ye Chang, and after one and a half years of militarized training and three months of fully militarized training, they constitute the basis of Lushun's military strength, and it can also be said that it is the backbone of the militia. Although they have not been on the battlefield either, they are stronger than these militiamen who have only been recruited for more than ten days.

These people were taken away, and everyone felt even more nervous, and when they looked forward to each other, they could see the fear in each other's eyes.

Xue Ze really couldn't suppress everyone, and after Nan Jiyun and the others left, the drill became sparse, and Xue Ze had no choice but to end it hastily.

Zhang Quanzhun did not rush back to Duli Town after the team was dispersed, but hung out with a group of people, and it didn't take long for him to judge that almost all the old militia had been transferred away, and what was left in Lushun and Duli was their raw melon eggs.

"Weizi Village, it is really the place of the decisive battle" Zhang Quanzhun thought to himself.

The next day, the 3,000 military horses led by Gao Yincheng arrived in front of Weizi Village.

Located in the middle of the mountainside, there are two roads in the east and west that can be passed, and after the Beisha army arrived, they did not rush to attack, but set up camp. Gao Yin went to the bottom of the mountain, looked up at the terrain, and then said with a smile: "Wang Nai of Weizi Village was too stupid at the beginning, such a cottage was taken away by more than 20 people."

"Yes, although it is not a natural danger that can be opened by one man, as long as there are twenty or thirty people guarding it, and there are no three or five hundred people, it is impossible to break through the village by attacking it head-on." The subordinates also said.

"But if there are thousands of people attacking in two directions, it will not be easy for the village to hold it." Gao Yin became enlightened.

He was discussing with his generals how to attack, when he suddenly heard a gong in the village, and then the door of the village opened, and a group of men and horses came out, first ten knights, then twenty foot armor, and then dozens of people, each holding a sword, neatly arrayed.

"Hey, it's worthy of being a Tang people, a group of rabble also give Cao such a look, it's not very easy to attack Weizi Village." A Goguryeo chief next to him saw this situation, looked back at his subordinates, and couldn't help but say.

Gao Yincheng nodded, and the information they got also said that the Tang Dynasty official would be able to train soldiers. However, he was not frightened in his heart, and even vaguely felt that it was better for these Tang soldiers to be more elite.

The reason is very simple, in this southern expedition, capturing the capital is only one of the purposes, and Quan Gaihong's other purpose is to take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the ministries in order to plan for the next step of directly annexing the ministries.

"Who comes, dare to fight"

They were watching when they suddenly heard a loud shout, and the sound shook the wilderness, and even the newly accumulated snowflakes on the trees were shaken down.

A horse was so startled by this sound that it retreated again and again, and the general of the Beisha army on the horse accidentally fell, and the whole army of the Beisha army was panicked.

Gao Yincheng's expression was solemn: Among the Tang people, there is such a character

He looked intently, and saw that among the twenty horsemen, the tallest and strongest horse, a man in armor drove the horse forward a few steps. This man is majestic, and although he looks ugly, his eyes are bright, like stars in the dark night.

"I don't know who this person is, looking at his appearance, it seems that he has some skills, could it be Nanba?"

For the generals in the Lushun army, the people who know the way in Beisha City are Ye Chang and Nan Jiyun, especially Nan Jiyun's divine shooting, and his reputation has long been spread.

"This stupid horse, this stupid horse"

The fallen Beisha got up at this moment, and wanted to kick the horse twice. He straightened his helmet, and when he saw Gao Yincheng looking at him with contempt, he was ashamed and angry in his heart, and asked for battle loudly: "Gao Gong, I am willing to lead the headquarters to win this first merit."

"I have heard of your bravery for a long time, if you are willing to take this first merit, it will be great."

This guy is not from the Quangai Hongyan lineage, but the chieftain of a nearby Goguryeo tribe who has always been arrogant, and when he heard that he was going to attack the village, Gao Yincheng naturally would not stop him. Not only did not stop it, but also encouraged: "If you can break this village first, the children in the village will take whatever you want."

"Good"

The Beisha general was overjoyed, he looked at the mountain road, the mountain road is narrow, although there is a large open space at the gate of the wall, but now it has been occupied by the Tang people who came out of the wall. Although he was reckless, he was not stupid, and when he saw this appearance, he knew that the other party had taken advantage of the situation, and he only attacked from the front, and his forces could not be unleashed.

"Shiro, you lead people to the east, take the east road and fight me," he commanded his brother.

There were more than 300 people in his part, and they were divided into two ways to go up. Gao Yincheng saw that they were not moving up the mountain road, and the speed of action was not fast, so he smiled back and said, "Do you think that he can make a contribution here?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the clear-eyed people knew that this attack was just a temptation, if it could really make a contribution, wouldn't it mean that those Tang people would collapse at the first touch?

"Look at how many rolling logs and stones the Tang people will throw, if there are few, let them get close to the village, or they can make contributions." Someone said boldly.

Gao Yincheng nodded.

However, to their surprise, Beisha will be more than half of them, and the Tang people are still just waiting for the battle, not only did they not roll wood and stones, but they did not even put a single arrow
