By daybreak, the wind was blowing harder. The Khitan lord sat in a cart made of materials from Xidi, and ordered his soldiers: "That's all the Jin army, they must be captured, and then go south to take the girders!" "Ordered the Iron Harrier Army to dismount on all sides, pull out the antlers and wood barriers and enter the camp, attack the Jin army with short weapons, and set fire to the wind to help its momentum.

The sergeants of the Jin army were very angry and shouted: "All the envoys are not sent troops for anything, let the soldiers die in vain!" ”

The generals asked for a fight, and Dewey said, "Wait for the wind to ease a little and then wait to see if you can fight." ”

Li Shouzhen, the supervisor of Mabu Metropolitan Prison, said: "There are many enemy soldiers, we have few people, and in the wind and sand, we can't see who has more and who has less, only those who fight hard can win, and this wind is just to help us; If we wait until the wind stops, there will be no more of us left. ”

Immediately shouted: "All the armies are attacking the thieves!" ”

He also said to Dewey: "Ling Gong, you are good at guarding, and I, Li Shouzhen, use the middle route army to fight the enemy to the death!" The left wing of the Ma army was lined up, and Zhang Yanze summoned the generals to ask what to do.

They all said, "Hulu is now getting a good wind, and we should wait until the wind blows back before fighting him." ”

Zhang Yanze also thinks so.

The generals withdrew, and Chen, the deputy platoon of the right wing of the Ma army, left Taiyuan Yao Yuanfu alone, and said to Zhang Yanze: "Now the hunger and thirst in the army have reached the extreme, and if we wait until the wind returns, we will have become prisoners." The enemy thinks that we cannot fight against the wind, and that we should attack him by surprise. ”

Fu Yanqing, the envoy of the left and right sides of the horse step, said: "Instead of being captured, it is better to die for the country!" ”

Together with Zhang Yanze, Yao Yuanfu and Zuo Xiang, Chen made Huangfu Yu lead the elite cavalry out of the West Gate to attack the Khitan, and the generals followed.

The Khitan soldiers retreated a few hundred steps.

Fu Yanqing and the others said to Li Shouzhen: "It's pulling the team back and forth." Or do you keep moving forward until you win? ”

Li Shouzhen said: "Things have come to this point. How can you turn the horse's head! You should go all the way and win. ”

Fu Yanqing and the others jumped away, and the wind became even stronger. It was as dark as night.

Fu Yanqing and others led more than 10,000 cavalry to storm the Khitan army array, and the cry shook the heavens and the earth, and the Khitan soldiers were defeated and left, like a mountain.

Li Shouzhen ordered the infantry to pull out all the antlers and go out to fight, and the infantry and cavalry attacked at the same time, driving the Khitan soldiers north for more than 20 miles.

After the Khitan Iron Harrier army dismounted, they had no time to mount their horses in a hurry, and discarded their horses and armor battles everywhere.

The Khitan soldiers scattered to the southeast of Yangcheng. The array has been reworked slightly.

Dewey said: "The thieves have broken their courage, and they can't let him form an array anymore!" So they sent elite cavalry to pursue them, the Khitan soldiers all crossed the water and fled, the Khitan lord fled more than ten miles in a chariot, the pursuers were urgent, captured a camel, and fled on it.

The generals of the Jin army pleaded to hurry after them.

Dewey threatened: "If you are lucky enough not to die when you meet the enemy, do you want to ask for further clothing?" ”

Li Shouzhen said: "For the past two days, both men and horses have been very thirsty, and now they have water. They are all full and their bodies are heavy, and it is difficult to chase after them, so it is better to protect the army and return to the division. ”

So he retreated to Dingzhou.

Since then, the Khitan has been repulsed for the second time in the south. The Jin kingdom was victorious.

This news strengthened Baili Wuji's confidence in defeating the Khitans, although there was no cavalry army like the Jin State, but the Chu State had firearms and artillery. and himself, a somewhat well-known king.

And Baili Wuji's current consideration is not whether to win, but how to reduce the casualties of the Chu army.

If there are as few casualties as possible. Completely eliminate the Khitan, a cancer that affected generations of Han people in later generations.

……。

On the first day of the second month, Sun Shixu and Xu Shouren got the secret order from Peng Xiao's hands.

After the two of them passed it on. looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Sun Shixu has not been a murderous person since he was a child, but now he is going to become a demon.

He had to sigh.

He knew that he would do it eventually, because it was an order from Baili Wuji.

Xu Shouren did not hesitate at all in his heart, and he thought that whatever his eldest man said was right.

As I once said, he is just a shadow of Baili Wuji.

Shadows are thoughtless, and they don't need thought.

On the same day, Sun Shixu ordered Xu Shouren and Peng Xiao to quickly go to Kyoto, gather the soldiers and Ming arithmetic students scattered in various shops south of Kyoto, and then go north. At the same time, soldiers and students south of Kyoto were sent to inform them to go north under the guise of selling goods. The assembly place of soldiers and students of the two roads is Mutsu.

There is no need to keep the shop, after Peng Xiao goes back, he will become a traitor, and the contact between Dachu and Fusang will be interrupted, since there is no follow-up goods, why should the shop exist. Deal with the goods and bring the money back to Dachu.

After Xu Shiming and Peng Xiao set off, Sun Shixu quickly gathered 2,000 soldiers of the Special Operations Army and began to forcibly recruit troops in Ezo. Those over the age of thirteen and under the age of thirty-five are all drafted.

Ten days later, 3,600 natives were recruited and armed with pikes and trained.

The first day of March.

Xu Shouren and Peng Xiao led 2,000 Black Flag Army soldiers and 24 students south of Kyoto back to Ezo.

In the early morning of the third day of the new year, Sun Shixu launched an attack on Mutsu. One route was led by Xu Shouren with 2,000 Black Flag troops and 3,600 indigenous soldiers assisted by the Zhenliao ship to attack Hirosaki Castle from the west of Mutsu, and the other led by himself 2,000 soldiers of the Special Operations Army to attack Hachinohe Castle from the east of Mutsu with the assistance of the Zhenhe ship.

In the evening, the Mutsu successfully occupied, and the two armies met at the Mutsu.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, another 2,000 soldiers and students of the Black Flag Army who came by order returned to the Mutsu Olympics.

On the seventh day of the first month, Sun Shixu ordered that the troops be divided into two routes, Xu Shouren led 4,000 Black Flag troops and 3,600 indigenous soldiers from Hongqian to attack Yu, through Kubota, Honzhuang, to Songshan. If there is something to do, then continue to go south to occupy Hazen, if nothing can be done, just hold Matsuyama.

He led 2,000 Black Flag Army and 2,000 Special Warfare Army soldiers from Hachinohe Castle south to attack Rikunaka Morioka, Rikuzen Sendai, Iwaki Nakamura, Sanharu, Tanakura, and Shirakawa. After resting, he will attack Iwashiro Fukushima, Nihonmatsu, and Wakamatsu.

In this way, if all goes well, the two armies will meet at Wakamatsu and Matsuyama. Then decide on the follow-up plan.

Sun Shixu arranged this out of helplessness.

It is impossible for Peng Xiao's fleet to accompany him in Fusang, and once Peng Xiao leaves, he and all the Chu army will become alone and have no backup, because he and Xu Shouren must break away from the Chu State and become traitors.

Therefore, he had to occupy as much land as possible while Peng Xiao's fleet was still alive in order to make Emperor Suzaku think that they had the strength to help him regain power, so that he could get to the core of Fuso.

On March 18, Xu Shouren's troops first completed their goal and occupied Songshan.

Due to the long march route of Sun Shixu's troops, it was not until March 25 that Wakamatsu was occupied. (To be continued......)
