"Woo woo woo !!!!!!"

The horn sounded.

A column of soldiers of the Chu army quickly lined up in formation, and the spirit of slaughter was full of wilderness.

Fifty miles on the south bank of the Wei River, Dugu Mu dressed in military uniform and landed in the county seat of Huanggu County.

Huanggu County is just a small county town, the city wall is too short, the city is too small, in fact, in a country, in addition to the border area, its domestic area is really suitable for the kind of strong city can be defended by the city, there are really not many.

Because there is no need for that, there is no need for that.

At this time, in this area, the 100,000 private troops of the Dugu family stood here, and there were other private soldiers sent by the second batch of nobles on the left and right, totaling more than 100,000.

The private army of the nobles of Great Chu has consumed a batch outside Zhennan Pass, and at present, this is the second batch.

There is an episode in the middle, that is, the second batch of Qingluan troops of the Qu clan were defeated by Uncle Zheng.

So

Strictly speaking, the 200,000 nominal "Chu Army" led by Dugu Mu at the moment is already the last wave of family foundation that the nobles of the Great Chu family can contribute now.

After the last wave, it doesn't mean that there is no more, there is, there must still be, after all, although it is a ruined family to relieve difficulties, but there will definitely be some deliberately left to live, this, it is very understandable.

But after the first and second batches, it is undeniable that the skeleton of the noble private army has actually been contributed.

The army, especially the army in the era of cold weapons, is actually very particular about generational differences, and using the old to bring the new will still make the combat effectiveness decline for a period of time, and a major blood change will often make an army completely replaced.

Look at the Qingluan army led by Qu Tiannan at the beginning, on the bank of the Wangjiang River, repelled the landing of the eldest prince, and when defending Yupan City, it made Jingnan Wang Tian Wujing not plan to attack at all, but did not hesitate to be involved in a large number of troops to besiege.

And this second batch of Qingluan Army is obviously much easier to fight, a night battle, a reckless, and directly crushed the middle road army.

It can only be said that the strength of this newly formed Qingluan Army is too big compared with the old Qingluan Army.

Dugu Mu looked at the soldiers and armor all around, to be honest, there was no "high spirit" that only young generals would have.

He is the head of Dugu's family, when he was young, he also trained in the army, although in recent years, he has not personally gone out to fight, but his knowledge and background are still there.

Dugu Nian, one of Nian Yao's current generals, was personally trained by Dugu Mu.

Therefore, Dugumu's mood is particularly heavy.

The real elite of the border army of Great Chu, in the hands of Nian Yao, in the face of the Yan State Iron Cavalry, can only rely on the city pass to defend it;

Although he now claims to have 200,000 under his command, his real combat strength is actually uneven, and besides, he will face the elite iron cavalry that has been gathering momentum for a long time and is personally led by the Nanhou of Dayan.

This battle,

It's hard to fight,

It's a battle with little hope, but it has to be fought hard.

As for why he chose to build a village in Huanggu County, which is so far away from the bank of the Wei River, and did not choose to take the Wei River as the boundary, it is because although the Wei River is very wide, wide and long, there are too many places suitable for ferrying, and it is really, too docile.

Relying on the Weihe River to form a village seems to be safe, but in fact, it is putting himself and the whole army on the edge of the cliff.

The Yan army could cross the river from other places, and then outflank, once the Chu army was in chaos, there was no place to escape, it was nothing more than another replica of the defeat of the savage army on the banks of the Wangjiang River in the past.

Now, the only hope is to use Huanggu County as a node for the temporary organization of resistance, and no longer seek to rely on his own strength to defeat the oncoming Yan army, but to hold out for a while longer to get more opportunities for a turnaround.

"Military appearance, purge." The swordsmith appeared behind Dugu Mu and exclaimed.

"You should know that the sword, not the more ornate the better." Dugu Mu said.

The swordsmith nodded and said, "The Yan army led by Yan Ren Hirano Bo in the back ........."

"I've asked that old thing in Zhaowentong to lead 5,000 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers to keep an eye on it, just to stare at it, not to take the initiative to attack. The old man took the errand, but he was very happy. ”

At the time of the battle, 20,000 foot soldiers to stabilize the back road is nothing, but the transfer of 5,000 cavalry is definitely a big deal for the Chu army, which is already at an absolute disadvantage in cavalry.

but

No way

Without using the cavalry of the formation, Dugu Mu was worried that the old thing of Zhaowentong would follow in the footsteps of the Qu family.

There were 5,000 horsemen pressing the formation, and that Hirano Bo didn't dare to venture in and stab himself in the rear again.

"Heh, how did this battle come to this?"

Dugu Mu is really helpless.

The elite of the Chu army inside and outside Zhennan Pass did not dare to go out;

On his side, he barely formed a formation to deal with it, but behind him, there was still an active Yan army.

What's more, after the forbidden army of the Great Chu royal family sent part of the main force to Zhennan Pass at the beginning, the remaining soldiers and horses began to stick to Gyeonggi, and the regent chose to indulge in the soldiers and horses led by his sister-in-law.

It stands to reason that at this time, the regent should drive the expedition in person, and here in Huanggu County, the soldiers and horses of the Yan army entering the country will be sent back!

As long as he can win a big victory here, then Nian Yao in Zhennan Pass will have more room for action.

However, you can't say that the regent has any "compassion" for the sister-in-law.

Because Dugu Mu believes that the regent himself may not have expected that the Qu Qingluan army that went to the aid here was defeated by the Yan army overnight, and it is said that Qu Peiluo was also captured alive, causing many Qingluan troops to defect.

The affairs on the territory of the Qu family, there is no need to worry about it for the time being, the Qu family has inherited the position of the pillar country for generations, and the entire family will not change its banner because of the defection of the eldest son and young master.

scold

Maybe in the eyes of the regent, even if Qu Peiluo can't wipe out his sister-in-law, at the very least, he can take his sister-in-law to Dazeli in a circle and strip him out of the battlefield.

"If the country is in chaos, there will be demons." Dugu Mu sighed.

"Who are you talking about?"

"The sister-in-law of our king."

"How so?"

"The world thinks that Uncle Hirano can't be said to be the second Tian Wujing in the future, but Tian Wujing has self-destruction and is full of names, and that Uncle Hirano has nothing to worry about.

This person seems to act arrogantly and casually, but he knows how to advance and retreat.

Under the military achievements,

sometime

Who can make it? ”

"It's a little too far to say that now."

"Not far, not far at all."

Dugu Mu sighed, as if he didn't want to say too much.

meanwhile

The sentinel came to report,

The Yan army had already crossed the Wei River, and it had come over in formation.

This means that the Nanhou of Yan State did not pay much attention to Nian Yao in Zhennan Pass, and did not go through the temptation, and directly chose to cross the river.

Otherwise, it would never have come so quickly.

Although the soldiers are fast, they are also based on knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and it is either extremely arrogant or for a purpose.

Dugu Mu couldn't help but look back behind him.

A dare to go back to the rear to find trouble,

One dared to drive straight in to rescue the life, afraid that the one would be made dumplings by himself;

This reason seems a bit ridiculous, but Dugu Mu feels that those two are really likely to do such a thing.

Those who have ability, those who are arrogant,

its way of doing things,

It's out of the ordinary.

"Can you stop it?" The swordmaker asked.

"Look." Dugu Mu's eyes condensed slightly, "If you don't seek a field battle, you can still support the city by relying on the city, but in fact, you still have to look at the king's thoughts."

Look at him,

I want us to be cleansed clean,

It is still more or less to retain some seeds and vitality for the future after consolidating the situation. ”

"I think there will still be some vitality, otherwise, how can I clean up from scratch?"

"I can't say,

I'm really not sure,

The emperor of Yan State, his body is probably really bad, although I don't believe in the ghost and god theory of hiding the master and slaying the dragon vein, but looking at his successive battles in the past few years, it is really urgent;

The official family of Qianguo, it is said that he often wears Taoist robes, is a famous disciple of Houshan, practices the method of tuning, and is good at self-cultivation.

But

Our king,

Ahem........."

Dugu Mu suddenly coughed violently, but his eyes became more and more sharp.

"If you don't ascend the throne, you don't have to be in a hurry;

The rebellion of the princes did not take the opportunity to suppress the nobles involved, because it was not in a hurry;

Today, the nobles are afraid of Yan's punishment and desperately try their best to protect the country to save themselves, but they are still sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, and they are still not in a hurry.

He's true,

Not in a hurry,

There is no rush at all. ”

In the swordmaker's eyes, other thoughts began to flow.

"You are always with him, you should know him best, why is he not in a hurry? Why wasn't he in a hurry? He has ......... A lot of time? ”

The swordsmith opened his mouth and did not speak.

"Is it because of the spirit in him?"

"I ...... I don't know. ”

"At that time, Emperor Taizu integrated himself with the blood of the fire phoenix, and brought his retainers to behead the leader of the Hundred Tribes of the Mountains and Yue in Daze, which is recorded in historical materials, and it is also recorded by our family, for more than 800 years, the only time that the soul melted into the body.

Emperor Taizu had frequent wars in his life, many injuries, fatal injuries, he suffered many times, but he still died at the age of eighty, and he was able to die right, and the family recorded that the ancestors had witnessed the body of Emperor Taizu;

Although the body is dead, the body is immortal.

The ancestors left this passage with a meaning.

This means that it is very likely that if Emperor Taizu had not experienced so many expeditions in his life and suffered so many injuries to the origin, Emperor Taizu would have lived much longer.

regent

It is the second in eight hundred years, after Emperor Taizu, who can integrate the spirit into his own existence.

You said

he

How long can you live? ”

Dugu Mu's slightly dry hands rested on the battlements, shook his head, and said with a smile;

"I'm old, and once I'm old, I can clearly feel the limit of running out of oil, and there's also a sense of urgency.

But I was indifferent, really indifferent.

What about him,

Stand next to that chair and be in no hurry to sit down;

He dislikes ready-made fruits, but he doesn't want to pick them;

Because he can afford to wait,

He felt that he

can live a long time,

Long enough for him to start anew and start all over again! ”

When it comes to the last four words,

Dugu Mu's eyes like a lone wolf,

Staring at the swordsmith.

The swordsmith closed his eyes at this point.

"Actually, even Wei doesn't know whether you will kill people or not, because no one has ever seen you do anything, but there is one thing, there is no doubt about it, that is, your vision and knowledge are definitely far above ordinary people and even far above my bad old man.

So

In your heart,

There should be a number,

Right? ”

The swordsmith was silent.

"In the past, you first stood behind the eldest prince and shouted, then stood behind the third prince and waved the flag, and finally, stood behind the fourth prince. The former can give you the materials and sword scores you want, and if they want to play, you can tease them;

But what about the king,

Why did you stand behind the king in the end? ”

"There's nothing why."

"No, there is, there must be something, there must be something about him, which impresses you and makes you feel that he is the only one. I know you, I'm a freak of the lonely family, others don't understand you, I understand you.

In your eyes,

No king, no father, no respect, secular ethics, in your eyes, there is no piece of charcoal in the sword furnace that is worth taking a look at.

But what are you doing now?

Are you really wandering for him?

Run for Him, Act for Him.

Let's be honest,

Even if I die here,

You should go or you will go, and you will not draw your sword for me, an old immortal;

But I feel that

If one day,

He's going to die,

You will stand in front of him.

Whether you use a sword or not, whether you can kill or not, you will pull out your sword for him.

Slave, let him have two full meals a day, and he will work for you;

Commoner, let him be soft in gold and silver, and he will die for you;

Rich man, allow him to be at the threshold of the door, and he can work for you;

Without him,

It's just a pie.

As for the aristocracy.........

The life of the nobles,

It's worth a lot of money,

How to sell?

If you don't have to, you can't sell it.

And you

Your life is the most valuable among the nobles.

What kind of pie did he draw for you?

Would you like to believe him? ”

Dugu Mu suddenly smiled: "Ordinary people draw cakes, just draw them, and show you a rough look, you can paint, but you may not be able to do it, because who knows later."

Whether

You know,

He can live until later, so ........."

The swordsmith shook his head.

"Don't know?"

The swordmaker was silent.

"Don't want to say?"

The swordsmith remained silent.

"Okay, no, it's fine, but there's something I have to warn you about.

Flowers, withering, flourishing and failing, people, birth, old age, sickness and death.

The emperor, although he is known as the Son of Heaven, is inseparable from that reincarnation after all.

The Son of Heaven will also die, so the Son of Heaven will have a human touch.

If it really lasts a long time, not to mention immortality, but if he can really live longer than the Qi Refiner who is the best at cultivating his body, will he still have a human touch? ”

Hearing this, the swordsmith turned his head and looked at Dugu Mu.

Dugu Mu slapped the battlements violently,

Bellowed:

"Why back then, only Qu Tiannan's Qingluan army went north to enter Jin?

Shi Yuantang, hasn't he looked for it?

Zhao Wentong, hasn't he looked for it?

Old man, hasn't he looked for it?

Only Qu Tiannan went, only he went, and we didn't agree.

Why?

Hehehehehe........."

Dugu Mu laughed a little dryly:

"Because, join forces with the savages, shame, shame, shame on the ancestors!!"

Dugu Mu took a deep breath,

Growled;

"But he, as a member of the Xiong royal family, even us feel ashamed, but what about him, he feels that it doesn't matter. Before Situ Lei died, why did he give the foundation of the country to Yan Guo?

Is it just to keep an heir rich?

Because even Situ Lei, the emperor who became a monk halfway, the so-called Emperor Taizu of Chengguo, knew that Xia Yi needed to be strictly distinguished.

But he,

But he,

Why don't you care? ”

Dugu Mu withdrew his hand a little dejectedly, and behind him, his figure also looked a little rickety.

Road:

"Baby, don't regret it, don't regret it in the future, what you see is not the Da Chu you imagined, hahahahaha."

………

The conversation ended in silence,

At sunset,

Another round of sentry cavalry returned, informing the Yan army of the latest developments.

After receiving the military report,

Dugu Mu's whole body froze there.

The Yan army that crossed the river was divided into two parts, one to the west and the other to the east.

All the way is more than 80,000 rides,

All the way is more than 40,000 rides,

Fighting,

It is the banner of the military town of the headquarters of the Jingnan Army.

Dugu Mu believed that his 200,000 army was displayed here, and it was impossible for the Yan army on the other side to be invisible unless they were collectively blind, but they chose to ignore where they were, and directly bypassed themselves.

bypassed Zhennanguan, which is understandable, because Jingcheng was broken, the granary was burned, and the Zhennanguan army lacked food support, Nian Yao was destined not to dare to have other actions unless he broke the jar and broke it, and went out of the city to form a decisive battle with the Yan people in the field;

But let himself go,

What does that mean?

Put yourself behind you, no matter what?

You're ready to die in battle, so you just don't care?

You've been laying the groundwork yourself for so long, and you just ignore it?

Rao is Dugu Mu is a lot of age, and at this time, he finally has a sense of shame and anger.

Outrageous

Outrageous!

Cut the armies into each other, cut each other, there is you in this section, and I in the next paragraph, such a risk, you Tian Wujing, what do you want to do!

Dugu Mu pondered:

"In a hurry to pick up the Uncle Hirano he carried in one hand?"

forthwith

Dugu Mu immediately shook his head again.

Not to be, not to be,

No matter what,

It's not like this to save someone he values, even if it's a successor he personally chooses.

That......

Dugu Mu suddenly felt a twitch in his heart,

Don't?

………

The two armies, the one that took the east road, the leader was Luo Ling, and his goal was to bypass the Chu army in Huanggu County and directly connect with the Yan army operating in its rear, that is, the Pingye Bobu.

Liang Cheng is also in this part.

But what Liang Cheng saw was that King Jingnan himself was not in this part.

In Liang Cheng's view,

Is there anything more important to King Jingnan than to personally "save" his master?

If there is,

What would it be?

………

The royal banner of the king of Jingnan is in the Western Route Army.

After most of the defenders who had bypassed Huanggu County in the area of the garrison camp and made sure that the Chu army had not stuck to it.

Under the banner of the king,

Many heralds rode their horses to the various departments of the Western Route Army to deliver the new military orders issued by King Jingnan.

The commands are consistent,

The ministries immediately turned to the south,

People don't stop,

As the soldier points out,

Yingdu!
