……

Swept the seventeen counties in the southeast, recovering the three counties of Yiyang, Jijun and Fulong in a blink of an eye, and also took the two counties of Woyun and Keyang to the west, and hoarded 50,000 Zhou troops to garrison the strategic land, Zhu Biao turned around the city and turned south.

Weining, Texas State.

On the third day of October in the sixth year of Yuanwu, the sky was already bright. There was silence inside and outside the city of Weining, and the gates that should have been opened on a normal day were now tightly closed. Tens of thousands of soldiers stood on the city wall, clutching the weapons in their hands tightly and looking into the distance with vigilant eyes.

Since the Rebellion of the Five Kings, Weining has not experienced war for two generations. When Zhu Biao returned to northern Xinjiang on his journey of 10,000 miles, Dezhou was in the northwest and did not show up under Weining City. Having not experienced war for decades, the people living here have long forgotten the panic caused by war.

Whether it is the three counties of Debei or the fight in Bozhou, it is so far away from Weining. And now, the sudden change in the situation has made the rumored Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry appear outside the city...... Everyone was horrified, panicked, and terrified.

Every Great Zhou citizen knew about the Northern Han Dynasty, which was the clan of the empire. But they have definitely never seen the Han army, but in recent years, Zhu Biao's reputation is so great. Not only marching and fighting, but also fighting in the rivers and lakes, even in the Central Plains, there has never been a person in his twenties who can shake and kill an old innate grandmaster, and there are more than one or two killed.

In the Central Plains, where martial arts are at their peak, countless young people are orally reciting Zhu Biao's name. Zhu Biao also guò their mouths. In another image, it is well known to the general public.

It's really amazing!

The martial arts are promising, the martial arts are superb, but the reputation is a little bad, and Zhu Biao is also a leader.

I have never seen the appearance of the Han army, and I have never seen the appearance of Zhu Biao.

If Zhu Biao came to Weining alone, there would really be some people who came to see the excitement and strangeness, but now. The hearts of the soldiers and civilians all over the city were full of panic. What's the slightest bit of 'curiosity'!

The terrible sound of trumpets and the sound of bells and drums for emergency assembly sounded in the city, waking up the people of the city who were still asleep in the early morning.

After getting up, the people exchanged their heads and inquired about each other, and after confirming the news that it was the Northern Xinjiang Army that had arrived in the city, the whole city was immediately in a state of chaos. How many of them came? How did you go deep into the city of Weining? Why wasn't there a hint of the Northern Frontier Army coming before? Is it that the front has been attacked by the Northern Frontier Army? There was a lot of discussion and suspicion, but none of them were confirmed.

The people know it. Now there are only 50,000 or 60,000 garrisons in Weining City, and in the case of the enemy's direct slaughter to the state, whether or not they can hold the city is really a problem in the eyes of the people. They have all heard of Zhu Biao's ferocity and brutality, killing people without blinking. In Shizhou that year, a great flood flooded millions of people and hundreds of thousands of troops, once the northern army invaded the city, I am afraid that the whole city will suffer. The people were all terrified and pale. In order to save a small life. They packed up the soft and rations as fast as they could, dragged their families with them, and tried to escape from the city.

But the ten gates of Weining, large and small, were closed, and the defenders of the city were coming out of the barracks to climb the city walls, and the people of the two sides were crowded together and in confusion, and the people, who were opponents of the army, were driven away. The sound of calling for dad and shouting for mom can be heard everywhere, and cursing and even beating can be seen everywhere.

Texas Assassin Hu Jili personally appeared to appease the people, and of course, the accompanying Yamen was also persuading and pacifying.

Their way of persuasion and appeasement is very special, but it is not to be seduced, but to speak directly with the water and fire stick in their hands.

However, from morning to evening, from night to dawn, there was no sound of the Northern Xinjiang Army attacking the city. Even the movement of the defenders on the city walls. Nor did they hear. Could it be that the news of the arrival of the Northern Frontier Army is false? But it was obviously the horn blown by the defenders in the city, how could it be a miscommunication! No one would dare to make such a joke!

Could it be that the Northern Frontier Army is not ready to attack the city? Are they planning to build the equipment before attacking? This conclusion is very reasonable, and the people of Weining City guess with anxiety.

Waiting is an ordeal. As the minutes passed, the fear in the hearts of the people did not diminish in the slightest, but intensified. Everyone can only pray now, praying that the gods and Buddhas will bless the defenders of the city to withstand this catastrophe.

Not only were the people in the city frightened and uneasy, but many officials in the Assassin's Mansion were also frightened. They were not worried that the Northern Army would invade the city, but that they were facing the angry Texas assassin Hu Jili. Today, from Zhizhong, Don't Drive, Changshi, Weining Taishou, and down to Weining County, they have been standing in the council hall for most of the hour, but Hu Jili ......

That is, he did not pay attention to the crowd and did not think alone. Instead, he walked around the council chamber alone. Coming back like a trapped beast in an iron cage, panting for breath in his mouth. No one dared to provoke him, and they all stood aside honestly and tremblingly, all like wood carvings.

"Envoy Jun, Liu Zhutou came to report that the Northern Frontier Army outside the city has disappeared." An attendant hurried to Hu Jili's side at this time and whispered a message.

And Hu Jili stopped when he heard this, and began to guess the whereabouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army in his heart. More than half loud, still speechless.

Weining Taishou finally mustered up the courage to step forward and said: "Envoy, the reverse riding is rampant, if it is not expelled and exterminated, I am afraid that not only the state will be full of people's hearts, but the rest of the counties will also be panicked." The lower officials thought that it was urgent to quickly ask for aid from the king of Jin, and use the soldiers of the Jin domain to cooperate with the main force of Benzhou to capture and kill Zhu Biao. ”

Hu Jili glanced at Wei Ning Taishou, he was fifty years old and had always been majestic, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. 'Cooperate with the main force of Benzhou with the troops of the Jin Domain', this can be said in a big state like Qingzhou, but Texas has no qualifications at all. It's okay the other way around!

But he knew that he was under his authority on weekdays, and Wei Ning was too guarded to anger himself.

When I went home, I looked up at Wei Ning Taishou and didn't speak, this was another attendant who entered the council hall, held a letter above his head, and said in a low voice: "Envoy Jun, I just received a letter from His Royal Highness King Jin. ”

Hu Jili took the letter. After opening it, a smile appeared on the gloomy face, and the person also regained his former majesty, slowly walked back to the table and sat down, and said to the crowd: "Gentlemen, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has just sent a message. He has sent 400,000 foot cavalry to assist in the extermination of Zhu Biao in Benzhou, and it is expected that on the 5th of this month, our vanguard cavalry will arrive in Dexi. ”

There was a "buzz" in the conference hall, and everyone did not expect that the King of Jin, who was thousands of miles away, had already lined up the dispatchable soldiers and horses to Texas at this time. Everyone is worried because of the change in the situation in the Northeast. Qingzhou and King Jin's attention were focused on Daizhou and Canghai.

Dezhou Zhizhong happily said in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is far-sighted, thousands of miles away, and he can foresee the troubles of this state, and the lower officials are deeply admired. Since our army's rescue can arrive in two days, I wish Biao to rebel against the army is not enough trouble! The envoy only needs to send orders to all places, and the county soldiers can strictly guard against it.

Wait for the Jin King's army to arrive. Converging with our division, Zhu Biao will not return to the three counties in the north, and there will be nowhere to go. ”

The words of the elder in the governance are deeply in line with Hu Jili's heart.

"This is very true, and it is deeply in line with the official intentions, so I will do it."

The sixth day of the fourth month.

In the camp of the Jin army, which had been 200 miles into Dezhou, Ba Liehu, the pioneer of Zhengyin, patted his forehead with one hand, and walked back and forth in the big tent, and several generals stood quietly on both sides. The Northern Frontier Cavalry has been attacking the rear team since yesterday. and disappeared without a trace. Ba Liehu sent 500 sentinels to scout horses this time, carefully searched the area within a radius of 50 miles, and found no trace of the Northern Frontier Army.

Where did they go?

Zhu Biao's actions puzzled Ba Liehu. Before sending troops, Ba Liehu expected to merge with the Texas Army and contain the Northern Frontier Army. When the main force arrived, the two armies were fighting against each other. Defeated Zhu Biao in one fell swoop.

He knew how powerful Zhu Biao was, and he knew what kind of big losses the Jin army had suffered under Zhu Biao, so he didn't think about the word 'extermination'.

It was also expected that Zhu Biao would not come to hand over the troops, and retreated to the three counties of Debei under the pursuit of the army. I just never thought of it. Zhu Biao is actually ready to play hide and seek in this 'enemy realm'.

Don't they know that among the gentry and people who are all over the place who are devoted to the imperial court, they can't hide their traces at all, and they can't 'leave without a fight', and seize the gap to give themselves a treat. Now I don't know where to go is only temporary, and at most tomorrow, detailed information will be sent to the account.

Things went as Ba Liehu had guessed. Before dawn the next day, a scout horse galloped into the camp of the Jin army and flew to the tent of the Chinese army to report to Ba Liehu: "General, news has come from Feixi County, they found a large group of cavalry from outside the city last night and headed south. ”

The news brought by Tanma was not a surprise to everyone in the big tent. Because with the strength of the vanguard of 50,000 cavalry, the Balie Tiger Department could not stop any of Zhu Biao's actions at all.

Their mission is only to contain Zhu Biao for a certain period of time, and it is by no means to stop or snipe Zhu Biao.

But what's next?

In an hour before and after dawn, Ba Liehu actually received five military reports. Last night, there were 'large armies' in five places.

A violent uneasiness rose in Ba Liehu's heart. What does Zhu Biao want to do? So tossed?

A sense of crisis of 'hunting' is becoming more and more intense in the heart of Ba Liehu. It's not that he is afraid of Zhu Biao, but he really knows how powerful Zhu Biao is, and he dares to conclude that Zhu Biao will not work in vain.

And Zhu Biao's current 'arrangement', who will be the prey? Except for himself, it goes without saying.

"General." Ba Liehu's subordinate generals mentioned to him: "The subordinates think that Zhu Biao's actions must be a plot. At a time when the plan is still unclear, it is necessary for our military to heighten its vigilance and maintain a concentration of military strength at all times. If you are really attacked by Zhu Biao, you can have a defense. ”

"Not bad. This build of yours is very good. You go and pass on my order, and each battalion should keep a distance of one mile along the way, and you can't change the distance at will, who dares to disobey the order and punish it severely! Ba Liehu readily accepted the general's advice, he was apprehensive about Zhu Biao's rapid march, and he didn't want to be attacked by Zhu Biao on the way back.

The eighth day of the first month, in the morning.

Angang, fifty miles southwest of Gaocheng. The white fog has not yet dissipated, and it is vast. The sun rises in the sky and turns into a white spot, and it does not make people feel the warmth of spring and summer at all.

A rare fog.

The breeze blows across the earth, over the mountains, through the woods. In the distance, the Zhou military camp loomed, and Zhu Biao's eyes became thrifty.

There was no voice, no horses, and if it weren't for the breath in their mouths, one would think they were just a group of sculptures. These cavalry are the more than 30,000 elites that Zhu Biao mobilized overnight. Galloping 300 miles in one night, arriving at the camp before dawn.

This is where the main battalion of 80,000 people of the Texas Army is located.

No one would have thought that the soldiers and horses were divided into more than ten teams of Zhu Biao. will suddenly appear next to them.

The eyes of the Zhou army and the Jin army were all confused by more than a dozen teams of Han and Tang cavalry. Every cavalry is carrying Zhu Biao's handsome banner, except for the leading generals, no one can know which team Zhu Biao is in.

Therefore, Ba Liehu stopped, the main force of the Jin army advanced rapidly, and the 200,000 troops of the Texas army in the central and southern parts of the country also began to arch their turtle shells. Assemble.

The 80,000-strong Texas army in front of him only needs three more days to reach 120,000 men and horses, and by the fifth day, 200,000 foot riders and 40,000 people. It will be aggregated. It then turned southwest to join up with the Jin army, which had arrived nearby five days later.

After that, this army of 600,000 people will be camped step by step, combined with the counties and counties that are still in the hands of the Zhou army, and gradually compress Zhu Biao's activity space. In the end, he was forced to fight a decisive battle, or the banner was expelled to the three counties of Debei.

Pity. The Zhou army and the Jin army didn't know that after the cavalry class advanced to the S rank, with the magic skills and tactics, Zhu Biao's army could easily throw a distance of five hundred miles a day. In one night, he gathered two nearby troops and horses, combined them into one, and then rushed three hundred miles to kill the camp.

For other generals, it is a mythical marching speed, but here in Zhu Biao it is completely feasible. So. Zhu Biao came, but the Texas army not far away still knew nothing.

Time passed, around the right time, and the white mist was finally about to disperse. The wilderness in the distance became clear, and at the same time, the Texas military camp less than ten miles away also heard the noise that Zhu Biao had been waiting for for a long time.

"Marshal, the Zhou army has withdrawn from alert. They're opening the door—"

Zhao Fei said to Zhu Biao.

Then. In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhu Biao looked out through the gap in the woods, and dozens of black shadows in the distance were galloping towards here. Zhu Biao ordered all companies to get ready, this is the sentinel horse released by the Texas army. There are more than 30,000 people in other departments. 100,000 war horses, there is no way to hide. With Zhu Biao's order, all the cavalry behind the woods jumped on horseback and prepared to attack.

After half a cup of tea, the figure of the person who came gradually became clear.

Sun Ke looked at the wild leisurely, dozens of elite horsemen behind him, the queue was neat and orderly, and the bright armor, under the sunlight, flashed and flashed, as if it was as dazzling as a wheat, so that the cavalry showed a mighty momentum all over his body.

But suddenly, Sun Ke felt a palpitation, and no fear came to him. The leisurely expression disappeared completely, and in his eyes, the wilderness, which had been quiet and peaceful just now, instantly became silent, and the aura of slaughter was born on the earth. The warm breeze also became like the biting cold wind of the nine cold days, which made people feel creepy.

Sun Ke's body shuddered involuntarily, and his face suddenly turned pale. He tried to calm his pounding heart, but the feeling of palpitations grew stronger.

It's this feeling, it's this feeling!

Sun Ke was born with a kind of 'ability', whenever he felt palpitations in his heart, there would be danger six or seven times out of ten.

He never told outsiders about this, only a trace of his parents leaked a hint of it. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, he is not shrewd or strong, and he is still alive and kicking for seven years as a scout. Not only has he made many meritorious contributions, but his soldiers have also suffered the least casualties, and they are the only ones in the entire Texas Army!

Because now it is not as good as the peace period, and now there is a war.

Texas has not experienced many battles, but large numbers of sergeants will still rotate into the battlefield. 's own appearance, so that he has no roots in the army, and has been sitting on the position of military marquis for several years.

Sun Ke, who retreated from the Bozhou front line last summer and rested for more than half a year, has completely relaxed his spirit and has lost the tension of the front line. But this feeling ......

"Withdraw, withdraw quickly......" Sun Ke's eyes widened, and his eyeballs widened wildly, and he yelled wildly. After many years of fighting, he rarely felt such violent heart palpitations.

Sun Ke's anomalous appearance has already caught the attention of the scouts around him. Some novices still don't know why their leaders are trembling, but more than a dozen veterans who have followed Sun Ke for many years suddenly changed their faces drastically at this time.

A recruit was about to step forward to greet him when he found his left-handed fellow staring into the distance with frightened eyes.

The recruit looked sideways curiously. I saw a dark cloud in the sky, and a trace of rolling thunder could be faintly heard. The recruits wondered in their hearts, why did the leader call it out? And it's not right to rain, the sun is very good.

It was only a moment later that the recruit heard Sun Ke shout for the second time: "Enemy horseman, enemy horseman!" Withdraw, withdraw—" The recruit shuddered suddenly, and he didn't have the heart to feel a sense of desperation in Sun Ke's voice again.

The fog had just lifted, and the whole battalion was put down on alert, and it was the time for the people's hearts to relax. The Northern Frontier Cavalry came to kill at this time......

On the gate, the alarm bell rang, and the fierce sound of war drums and trumpets spread throughout the camp.

The Texas Army, together with the Minzhuang, wanted to accommodate a large battalion of more than 200,000 people, although it has not yet been fully built, but the battalions are stacked on top of each other, and there is a large gap between the camps.

If the Texans had been prepared, all the gaps would have been dissatisfied with the garrison sergeants, but now they were suddenly attacked.

Whether it was the infantry in the battalion, the crossbowmen, or the cavalry, they were all a little flustered. (To be continued)
