Volume 3 Mending the Cracks in the Sky Chapter 73 Blocking the Storm (3)
Seven cavalry commanders, hurriedly assembled. This was all drawn from all over the Dragon Guard Army under Yue Fei's department. There were more than 2,500 armor soldiers, and each armor soldier was equipped with three horses. Even with the strength of the cavalry of the Dragon Guard, such equipment can be regarded as super luxurious.
And more than 2,500 armor soldiers are also the choice of elite soldiers. Liu Baozhong, the deputy marshal of the Dragon Guard, personally led the old cavalry, and his command was full of fierce soldiers, who had followed Xiao Yan to do many hundreds of miles of old cavalry fighting to the death since Yandi, accounting for at least thirty percent.
Yue Fei's department, although the terrain of the defensive line guarded by Yue Fei is more dangerous, but the defense line is long and long, but it is several times longer than the front of Han Shizhong's department. The cavalry under the command of these seven commands almost drained Yue Feikong's mobile forces.
This support Yan cavalry army assembly in the northeast of the bottle-shaped village, with a series of military villages from the bottle-shaped village to Lingqiu as a cover, ready to cross the mountain trail at the fastest speed, out of Yizhou and to aid the Yandi. If Yandi could not be saved, cover the remnants and retreat to the Flying Fox, so that the Jurchen and eastern and western armies could not communicate through the Guò Taihang Mountain Trail.
Originally, such a transfer of military horses was an extremely difficult thing. Fortunately, the offensive of the Jurchen military horses in front of him was not violent, and the containment of Yue Fei's troops was not great. And the top and bottom also fought with their lives, trying their best to speed up the gathering of reinforcements and horses. Within two or three days, such a complex assembly and mobilization in front of the enemy was completed!
Being able to gather reinforcements for the Yan army and horses is naturally a good thing on the one hand. On the other hand, it makes the Dragon Guards deeply worried.
The Jurchen military horse offensive in front of him was weak, and at most it played a role in containing and surveilling. Naturally, the main force of the Jurchen army was transferred to the west in large numbers, and the defense line of the Lan army was opened again. After a large number of Jurchen military horses broke through from the west, the strategic initiative of the war in Hedong had been transferred to the Jurchens!
That's why Yue Fei stayed in Daizhou Daying, which was closer to Taiyuan. did not personally lead this support Yan Junma. Instead, they are keeping a close eye on the western direction. Be ready to adapt.
A gap was opened in the direction of the Lan army. And the Jurchen East Road army swarmed south. The war, which was basically under control, suddenly broke free and rushed away, and the situation became more and more bad. No one knows where the Jurchen army can be stopped, and no one knows if Xiao Yan can lead them, winning this battle is the beginning, and it is already an unprecedented national war!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The pure cavalry team of more than 2,000 people had a long queue and did not show much of a banner. Take the capital as the establishment. The next step forwards. And the series of steep military villages in the bottle-shaped village behind him gradually faded away in sight.
And in the northwest direction of the bottle-shaped fortress defense line, the desolate horn sound of the Jurchen military horses can be faintly heard.
Liu Baozhong sat on the horse, kept looking back, and just sighed in his heart.
This battle with the Jurchens has begun from east to west, on a front of thousands of miles. And King Yan, who presided over this war, hurriedly accumulated a little strength, and the Jurchens did not give King Yan time to continue to grow and develop.
Needless to say, the great enemy in front of him is sinister, even if King Yan does his best. There is no certainty of victory. And the court situation that was suppressed by King Yan was forced to be subdued, when King Yan was facing such a sinister situation. I don't know what kind of twists and turns will happen inside!
Needless to say, why was the direction of the Lan Army in the west broken through so quickly? What the hell is the Zhejiajun doing? What are so many Western troops on Yanyan Road doing?
If the entire Great Song Dynasty is half-hearted and just waiting for King Yan to lose, then the outcome of this national war is already unknown. And this Great Song Dynasty is afraid that it will also fall into the sea of blood!
Why can't these people even understand this truth?
Liu Baozhong could only sigh again and again in his heart. As an important general who has been tied to Xiao Yan and has both glory and loss, he can only persist and fight with all his strength to see if he can save some of the situation a little.
And this situation also aroused a trace of arrogance in the chest of this old fighter.
In the entire Great Song Dynasty, we can fight alone with the Yan Wang's department! Even if you die in battle, at least you can have a clear conscience and see your ancestors innocently!
Among the guards beside Liu Baozhong, there is a sharp figure. Riding on horseback, the ape arm bee waist, looking forward to self-pride. The excitement was high. It was not affected by the lord's gloomy state at all, but was quite elated. It's so energetic that it almost overflows.
can be freed from the errand of escorting food and salary, even if he can only be a personal guard by Liu Baozhong's side now. may participate in such a hundreds of miles of running, colliding with the Jurchen East Route Army in the field, and splashing sparks, Yang Zaixing has to wake up happy after falling asleep for the past two days!
I only hate that Yang De's ramming goods are still in the Daizhou camp, and this time I can't compare with this guy whose strength is bigger than a cow, and there is a slight fly in the ointment.
Yang Zaixing looked left and right, and suddenly pointed back: "General, someone is coming!" ”
Liu Baozhong turned his head in shock, and saw that the smoke and dust were rising behind him. But there was no alarming scene for the follow-up people and horses, and naturally their own horses hurriedly caught up.
More than 2,500 of them rode to the northeast, which was already considered a movement in front of the enemy, although there were military villages along the way to cover them, but the Jurchen rangers would also infiltrate at any time. Therefore, the discipline requirements for the march of the army are extremely strict, and they are sent out one after another in the capital unit, just to make the movement smaller.
Why did another group of men and horses suddenly come in a hurry, could it be that something happened in the rear?
In the smoke and dust, this dozens of horsemen approached in a blink of an eye. At this time, it was already clear who was coming. Liu Baozhong couldn't help frowning.
Among the dozens of horses that came, the first person was a tall, long-legged girl, wearing armor but no helmet, and her shoulder-length short hair only fluttered in the wind as the horses galloped.
It was Guo Rong.
This eldest lady of the Guo family can also be regarded as a hot potato in Yue Fei's hands. After coming out of Longshou Village, Yue Fei wanted to send Guo Rong back to Bianliang quickly. Miss Guo refused to die, only saying that so many sons followed her to die in the Jurchen Tartar army, and she was going to leave the battle. How to be worthy of them?
Guo Rong has a hard temperament. Even Yue Fei couldn't do anything with her. If Guo Rong is just Xiao Yan's pet. Yue Fei can still turn his face and drive people away with force. But Guo Rong went north under the banner of the princess of the Liao people and Shu Kingdom, and she always took the lead in fighting to the end between the wind, frost and sword, and her heroism was no less than that of the men in the army. And he has great prestige among the sergeants who were born in the clouds. is already a legitimate part of this army, and it can't be regarded simply as a daughter's family, Yue Fei has a respect for her.
Fortunately, Guo Rong is already in the army, and safety can be guaranteed. If she wants to stay, let her be. Anyway, King Yan is about to arrive in Hedong, which is a troublesome matter. Just leave it to Yanwang to cook.
However, Yue Fei no longer allowed Guo Rong to go to the front line, and allocated more than 100 personal guards to her, and Thirteen was also among them. It was placed in the camp of Daizhou. Guo Rong also knew that he was not going to mess up the law in the army, so he didn't ask for more, but comforted the soldiers and civilians who moved south with Yunnei along the way, which came in handy. Staying in Daizhou camp is even more justified.
Seeing Guo Rong leading dozens of horsemen to come in a hurry, Liu Baozhong felt a headache. Why did this aunt and grandmother come, if there was any trouble, how could they afford to be guilty in front of King Yan? So many good daughters of the Great Song Dynasty, who are full of virtue, words, and work, don't look for King Yan. How did you accept such a wild Northland daughter by your side?
Seeing that Guo Rong was approaching, Liu Baozhong waved his hand and drank: "Stop coming!" Don't mess up the ranks in the army! ”
Guo Rong tugged at the reins. The war horse jumped a few times and stood dozens of steps away from Liu Baozhong's queue, and the knights behind him also stood still. Yang Zaixing's eyes were quick, and he had already recognized the figures of Zhen Liuchen and Thirteen behind Guo Rong.
Thirteen is just an old acquaintance of Yang Zaixing. Zhen Liuchen hasn't dealt with much of it. Originally, Zhen Liuchen followed Yue Fei, and later went north to help, Yue Fei selected and transferred the elite of the old Shenwu Changsheng army, Zhen Liuchen was forced to stay, and led the chaotic military horses under his command who were born in Yandi and Yunnei. Zhen Liuchen naturally has the boss's opinion, but Yue Fei's face is down, and the military order is up, and the heroic Zhen Liuchen does not dare to disobey. Moreover, Yue Wushu personally went out to lead the army to aid Guo Rong, and Zhen Liuchen was also relieved.
But once Guo Rong was given a life-long answer, Zhen Liuchen immediately gave up his subordinates, and in the future, he would serve in the army and be a personal guard by Guo Rong's side. Yue Fei also explained a few words of persuasion, saying that he wanted to borrow his experience as a veteran general in the original victorious army, but this time he changed Zhen Liuchen's face and said nothing. Yue Fei could only follow him.
Guo Rong stopped the horse, and Liu Baozhong didn't wait for her to speak, so he preemptively said: "The army has its own law, why did Guo Niangzi go north without authorization?" Please turn back, no matter what, please forgive me for not being able to obey my fate! ”
Guo Rong has a strong temperament, and Liu Baozhong also knows it. Maybe this time it was because she was going to Yandi to fight, Guo Rong wanted to participate in it, after all, it was a place she was familiar with. But today, I have to send the army to escort him, and I have to send this future concubine of King Yan back!
Guo Rong smiled lightly, waved his head, and the thirteen around him rode forward and sent a military order.
"General Liu, don't be so close to the enemy. I also got Yue Pengju's military order, so I chased after me. There are many Yan people around me, and they are familiar with each other, and Uncle Liuchen is quite prestigious in Yan Land. Follow you and do it, it will come in handy. It was easy for me to convince Uncle Liuchen that they would follow you north. I'm not going, who are you showing so fiercely? ”
Speaking of the last sentence, Guo Rong raised her eyebrows, and the wildness that Da Song's daughter could not see was revealed. After personally experiencing the bloody battle in Yunnei, Guo Rong looked down on others like this, and she also gained prestige, plus her identity as the future concubine of King Yan. Liu Baozhong really broke out in a cold sweat behind his back!
The thirteen generals' order was sent over, and Liu Baozhong took it and swept it, and sure enough, it was Yue Fei's handwriting. As Guo Rong said, she sent the guards from Yandi around her to help guide the Yan military horses this time.
This is good news, Liu Baozhong's soldiers and horses, facing the Jurchen East Road army, are too thin, and one more person is good. Not to mention that there are former Yandi generals like Zhen Liuchen, who play the role of one person, but I am afraid that they are comparable to a military horse!
Liu Baozhong immediately bowed his hand: "Thank you Guo Niangzi for your help, the military order is like this, please ask your guards to join the queue." You can't be polite in a hurry, and you have to continue on your way. Mrs. Guo should go back quickly............ But do you want to send troops to escort you? ”
Guo Rong waved his hand: "You are just a little military horse, and you have to fight a hard battle." I want you to send someone to escort you? You don't have to guard me from being like a plague god, I won't trouble you............ What happened to my daughter's family? Not worse than you men! ”
Liu Baozhong was speechless and didn't know how to speak. But as long as this aunt doesn't follow north, she can turn around and go back. Even if Guo Rong's words are stronger, he rushes to himself, and there is nothing to worry about.
With Guo Rong's order, she was surrounded by guards, separated most of them, and joined Guo Rong's queue. Thirteen and Zhen Liuchen are among them.
Guo Rong also explained a few words to Thirteen Yin Yin: "Thirteen, you have all your ability, I am not worried." But if you stay by my side, that's really delaying you. Make more contributions, and in the future, you will be a general, a general, and a career! I'm just like your sister, whoever wants to bully you, just tell me when you come back! ”
Thirteen just smiled innocently, looked back at Guo Rong, and rode the horse to join Liu Baozhong's team. Some of the guards around Liu Baozhong knew about this little thirteen's skills, and they all let out low cheers. With such a little guy here, he can find a way out of the impassable road, and what kind of movement can be found early. In the fierce battle with the Jurchens, the chances of survival are a few points higher!
Zhen Liuchen was on the side of the thirteenth, staring deeply at Guo Rong Before he could speak, Guo Rong smiled and said, "Uncle Liuchen, you just have to do something." I'm obediently in the Daizhou camp, what else do you have to worry about? You can't keep me for the rest of your life, and you will ......... In the future, will you give the surname Xiao as a personal guard? Buried all your skills! I still want you to be the general of the Great Song Dynasty, give me a wife, and give me a few little brothers. If you dare to say no, I'll go for you! ”
Looking at Guo Rong's appearance, Zhen Liuchen sighed. Ride away.
It is true that Guo Rong is in the Daizhou camp, safe and sound. And Zhen Liuchen also wanted to turn back to Yandi and do his part. He grew up in Yandi, and just wanted to save some more lives under the Jurchen Tartar Iron Horse.
The order sounded, Liu Baozhong bowed to Guo Rong again, led the department, and continued to the northeast.
Guo Rong stood on the side of the road, watching teams of cavalry pass by.
Suddenly, Guo Rong said loudly: "Kill more Tartars!" Save a little more Yandi people! ”
The armor of the north was silent, but sat a little more straight on horseback.
Guo Rong hung her head.
Why is she a daughter? Why can't you fight for your hometown fathers? But at this time, I really can't act recklessly. That guy was in such a dangerous situation, and he couldn't afford to trouble him anymore.
Hurry up and come to his side, and he will be his personal guard. Even if he is in the last desperate situation, he will draw his sword to block him!
Come on, you bastard!
In Liu Baozhong's queue, Yang Zaixing secretly stung Thirteen's side and hugged his shoulder affectionately. Thirteen smiled and tried to break free, but he didn't.
"Little Thirteen, you've come just in time. Our luck is stronger than that rammed goods, this time we can have a good time with the bird tartar into the mother's killing! Straight lady thief, the coolest thing in the world is nothing more than this! (To be continued......)
