Chapter 135: Qin II
"I allow you to surrender to the Yanzhou rebels, maybe you can change your life, survive for a long time, and maybe go home to see your wife and children.
Let's try it all, the wine given by the monarch himself, aged for a hundred years, is rare in the world. ”
Qin Lan poured the wine into the water tank and distributed it to the soldiers of each battalion to taste together.
"The ministers are willing to die on the battlefield with the commander! ”
After drinking the aged wine, the soldiers knelt on the ground and smashed the bowl, and then got up one after another, holding sharp blades in their hands, and charged the orderly Jiuli shield soldiers under the city.
"Array, meet the enemy!"
The heavy shields spread out on the ground, leaving the Black Feather Army with nowhere to go, and when they were exhausted, the shields suddenly unfolded, and countless bronze spears poked out of them.
After a fight, Suo Jiao rode lightly and took over the battlefield.
Jiang Feng walked to the entrance of the city wall and sat down face to face with Qin Lan.
"Lord Yanzhou, after fighting for so long, this is the first time I have seen your honor. Qin Lan glanced at the rebel general a few times lightly, and suddenly he frowned slightly, and inadvertently saw a familiar figure.
The former deputy commander of the Black Feather Army and the first product of the Prince's Mansion served Chu He.
"Commander Qin Lan, Your Highness admires you very much, I hope you can serve the Yanzhou Tiger Division, if you are willing, Chu He is willing to give up the position of commander, like he did in the Black Feather Army before, and give you a deputy general. ”
"Your Highness?" Qin Lan's brows furrowed even tighter, Chu He was sent to the frontier with the Nine Emperor Princes.
"Hai Yun Fan, Hai Yun Fan, you still betrayed the empire after all. ”
Qin Lan sneered a few times, and immediately understood the reason, although the Yinxue Iron Rider was only loyal to the royal family, Hai Yunfan and the old lord were old friends.
After Jiang Feng was assigned to the border, Jiang Cheng sent Qin Lan to lead 20,000 black feather iron horsemen to Yanzhou to cut grass and eradicate the roots, but later because of Hai Yunfan's words, this plan was dismissed.
He said: "Jiang Feng and his entourage were surrounded and suppressed by bandits and fell into the abyss, and there are still no bones left. ”
Hai Yunfan, as the supreme commander of the empire, naturally no one dared to question his words, even the then monarch Jiang Cheng believed it.
"Jiang Feng, you can't win, after Yongguan is my main force of Black Feather, and in the future, you will face the encirclement and suppression of nearly a million troops. Qin Lan got up and looked into the distance, with a smile on her face, but suddenly froze.
The grassland outside the city has vanished.
Qin Lan looked carefully, the rebels under the city were less than 20,000 troops, and they were all sturdy giants, there were no howitzer battalions and arrow arrays, and the so-called siege ladders were all improvised pieces of broken wood, which could not be used to attack the city at all.
"That's it, lose convincingly. ”
Qin Lan put his hands behind his back and jumped off the city wall, his head hitting the ground first, and his face was shattered.
"Let's bury it!"
Jiang Feng entrusted the aftermath to Chu He, who was Qin Lan's deputy general.
After the capture of Bauhinia Pass, Jiang Feng hoarded a large number of troops in Yongguan City, but the banner of the Black Feather Army was still planted at the mouth of the city wall, and the news of Qin Lan's death was blocked from the outside world.
Xun Yu first opened a new grain route in Yanzhou, and then successfully built wooden oxen and flowing horses according to the drawings, and put them into transportation for the first time, crossing the rugged Qilian Snow Mountain, and successfully transporting millions of stones, grains, grasses and meat to the Bauhinia Pass on time.
Compared to the method of carrying on the shoulders of the Frost Giant, the Wooden Ox Flowing Horse is significantly less labor-saving, and can transport more grain and grass at one time.
The grain and grass, which was originally expected to arrive in three months, were transported to Bauhinia Pass in less than a month, far faster than expected.
At the same time, Aloy filled all the new troops and prisoners who had already trained in Luofang Valley into the Yanzhou Tiger Army, leaving only 50,000 new troops stationed in Jiuli City.
After breaking three levels in a row, Jiang Feng now has 80,000 tigers and three cities, and is only one river away from the imperial capital of the Snow Country.
"Long Yun, do you have enough people and arrows?" Jiang Feng called Long Yun in private.
"Lord, why are you asking this?, will there be any war in the near future?" Long Yun frowned, and hesitated for a few seconds before replying: "The Dragon Qiang Arrow Array currently has 12,000 troops, and there are about two million arrows that have been replenished from Jiuli City recently. ”
"Two million wind arrows are enough, give me all your military power. Jiang Feng fiddled with the Black Feather Tiger Talisman on the table, not noticing the sudden change in Long Yun's face.
As soon as he won the battle, he seized the power of the army, and no matter who touched it, he would feel unhappy in his heart.
After all, in the battle against Qin Lan, Long Yun should be the first to take the lead, but instead of rewarding, it attracted Jiang Feng's suspicion.
"Am I doing something wrong?, anyway, the Dragon Qiang Wind Arrow was given by the Lord, and now take it back...... What a normal thing!" Long Yun comforted herself in her heart and handed over the talisman.
"Sister Long Yun, don't get me wrong, I'm not taking away your military power, I'm just borrowing it and returning it to you after the battle. ”
After being silent for a long time, Jiang Feng realized that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and hurriedly explained to Long Yun.
"You are a king, I am a minister, I don't need to explain more, if you want a talisman, can I still give it to you?" Long Yun forced a smile and deliberately pretended not to care.
But he had already begun to feel faintly unhappy in his heart, he was tied to the stone pillar by Jiang Feng and exposed to the sun for three days before, saying that it was to rectify military discipline, but Long Yun was not angry about this, after all, it was her fault.
Later, Jiang Feng handed over the howitzer battalion to her to take charge, which was regarded as a kind of compensation, which also made Long Yun have a little more affection for Jiang Feng.
But later, I slowly discovered that Jiang Feng was still wary of her after all, and the arrow array and artillery battalion were all guarded by the Jiuli shield soldiers, but the Jiuli clan was the personal guard who commanded the Chu River.
"Sure enough, Jiang Feng still can't trust me, an outsider, and would rather hand over the tens of thousands of new troops in Luofang Valley to Aloy for training, rather than entrust me with the full power of these 12,000 crossbowmen. ”
There is another layer of mustard between Long Yun and Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng didn't know any of this, in his eyes, he had a close relationship with Long Yun like a brother and sister, how could he stick to these little things?
"There are four high walls behind the gate of Yongguan, which enclose a simple barracks, and whenever a war breaks out, the cavalry foot soldiers are waiting here, and 12,000 crossbowmen are divided into four groups, each group occupies a high wall, to ensure that the wind arrows can shoot to every corner of the barracks. ”
After the deployment of troops, Jiang Feng planted Qin Lan's handsome flag at the head of the city, and sent Xiang Yu to gallop to the main camp of Black Feather two hundred miles away overnight with a tiger talisman, and dispatched all the 80,000 Black Feather troops to Yongguan City.
The Commander Tiger Talisman symbolizes the highest right to transfer troops in the barracks, and if the number of troops dispatched exceeds 20,000, the Tiger Talisman must be used, otherwise, the defender has the right to refuse to send troops.
After confirming that the tiger talisman was correct, the Black Feather Army marched from the village and arrived at the city of Yongguan three days later.
The black feather flag at the mouth of the city wall fluttered in the wind, and there was no clue to be seen, the drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was wide open, and the black feather army entered the low wall in a mighty way, waiting for the commander's dispatch.
