The large and small basins of the Western Regions are dotted all over the place, the army is very easy to gallop through the horizon, and the fortification is difficult, so the Central Plains Dynasty in history can only be "whipped and west" in its heyday, and the saying of the Northern Liang Capital Protectorate follows the Zhongxing of the Great Feng Dynasty, and now the existence of the three towns of Qingcang Linyao Fengxiang is to hook up the two places in the Central Plains of the Western Regions, and in the vast area west of the Linyao Military Town, and the Miyun Mountain Pass is the primary throat place, and the Rota Mountain is located in the mountain range on the left side of the pass, which is naturally conducive to the storage of troops.

Successively two cavalry armies along this horizontal wide mountain pass to the east, the latter is a typical Beimang light cavalry system, except for the centurion thousand commanders wearing iron armor and the Central Plains cavalry generals, most of the cavalry are wearing light and tough armor made of leather, with a variety of configurations, sabers, spears, riding bows, and even many maces and lassos hanging on both sides of the auxiliary horses. The advance cavalry army was obviously more "heavier", in order not to hurt the horse's foot strength, there were also two auxiliary horses, two horses carrying "armor", that is, weapons and iron armor, the "armor horse" hung with eye-catching armor, the almost cumbersome set of armor with a skin inside, covered with scale armor or chain mail, and the weapons were relatively more neat, all spears, There are three kinds of riding bows and sabers, all of which are hung on the soldiers and horses, and the number of cavalry troops under the crotch is about 3,000, and the riding horses are also covered with leather armor.

According to the ridicule of the Beiliang border army, the great enemy of Beimang, the Beimang border army is roughly divided into three kinds, the cavalry nicknamed the son army belongs to the elite of the Southern Dynasty, one person and two horses, and is regarded as the son of the temple magnate of the Southern Dynasty. There is also a kind of strong cavalry known as the Lao Tzu Army, which should not be underestimated, with as many as three or four or even five auxiliary horses, such as Dong Zhuo's private cavalry, Hong Jingyan's Rouran Iron Cavalry, and Liu Jue, Yang Yuanzan, and other Beimang generals' old foundation pro-army are all like this, the number is small, but the combat power is extremely strong, there is no disparity in strength and dare not fight to the death, victory is like a bamboo, defeat is the whole army annihilated, and can dominate the situation to a large extent on the battlefield.

This total of 10,000 people of the Northern Mang large cavalry army, is the successful help of Tan Tan to climb the Langtuo Mountain, is the Southern Dynasty several tyrants to make up the bottom of the box, after the first Liang Mang war, put the bet on the two battlefields of Liuzhou and Youzhou in the Southern Dynasty Gaomen greatly hurt the vitality, since Liu Qi Yang Yuanzan these long-famous Southern Dynasty border army veterans can not be trusted, this time the six or seven Southern Dynasty A and B clans with the same qi and branches learned to be obedient, bet on the famous Xia Bowl Tan Tan, of course, the back of the big tree to enjoy the cool Tan also took out a lot of family books, the three thousand fine horses are from the Tan family, sent to half of the Tan in one go, Even the general is only 3,000 private horsemen under the command of the great general, which shows the importance that the breeder attaches to this concubine of the long house, but this is not surprising, after all, Tan Tan is a backward generation who is praised by Her Majesty the Empress in the court, and has been watching the Beimang officialdom for 20 years, this honor, there are probably only two of Liu Qi and Dong Zhuo among the predecessors of the temple.

Tan Tan rode on a sweaty horse nicknamed "Beauty", the young military general who should have been complacent had gloomy eyes, looked into the distance of the mountain pass, and a henchman commander beside him said curiously: "Young master, more than eighty horseback pens have been scattered, and they are all their own sons, there is no mistake, I estimate that before I arrive at Fengxiang Military Town in Naliuzhou, there will be no war, what is the young master worried about?"

The familiar sound of horses' hooves and some camel bells in the army rang in his ears, and he frowned and said, "It's too calm." ”

The commander from a farming family stretched out his hand and scratched the big bald head, grinning: "The young master's trip to Langtuo Mountain was unexpected, and it was normal for the Northern Liangbian Army to have no time to react. As for the poor cavalry in Liuzhou, just dealing with Huang Songpu's soldiers and horses is enough to eat a big pot, where can we take care of us?"

Chong Tan sighed and said worriedly: "In the last battle, Dong Zhuodu had already defeated Liangzhou Hutou City, and Liuzhou also maintained the balance of power, but in the end he lost the entire battle, just because Youzhou lost too badly. The battle is north of the North City, but the key to victory or defeat is in Liuzhou. I'm afraid of two big wars, because I will lose wherever I plant......"

The commander hurriedly interrupted Tan Tan's obscure words, and said stupidly: "Young master, don't want a crow's mouth!"

Tan Tan laughed at himself, then his eyes were resolute, and he said in a deep voice: "Always keep an eye on the movement of the horse fence in front of you, and send back the spy report that there is a slight strange condensation, our vanguard three thousand horsemen will enter the wartime preparations, rush out of the Miyun Pass as fast as possible, and be sure to ensure that the six thousand horsemen behind you can spread out the formation in a flat area." ”

The reason why this Xia Bao personally led the three thousand family iron horsemen to open the way was because he was worried that people would be blocked in the Miyun Pass, and the six thousand horsemen with chaotic sources behind him might not be able to successfully block the sudden impact of the large Beiliang cavalry, and it was even very likely that the enemy army would be forced to have a seawater influx, and then there would be a one-sided slaughter in the Miyun Pass, even if the monks and soldiers of the Rantuo Mountain were close at hand, it was of little significance to the battle of the cavalry that the victory or defeat of the fighters was fleeting. From beginning to end, he experienced the tragic battle in Hulukou very well, the advantages and disadvantages of the troops on paper are all false, not only the Hulukou on the Liangmang battlefield proves this, but also the restoration of Western Chu in Guangling Road in the Central Plains, Xie Xichen and Kou Jianghuai, the two young people, also proved this with incredible victories.

Although Chong Tan had a discussion with his father and uncle Chong Liang beforehand, he thought that the precipitous situation in Liuzhou did not allow Bei Liang to send 20,000 cavalry to intercept it, and once the strength was less than 20,000 cavalry, then the 10,000 cavalry army of Chong Tan and the nearly 10,000 monks and soldiers of Rantuo Mountain who were about to leave for the battlefield were firmly invincible on any battlefield west of Liuzhou, but Tan Tan never felt that there was any inevitable trend on the battlefield"There is nothing outstanding, only prudence in the use of troops", this is not only to take care of the face of Liu Qi and Dong Zhuo's "generals of the defeated army", but also a true portrayal of the deployment of troops and generals.

Tan Tan said to himself: "As long as I am allowed to get out of this Miyun Pass, no matter how good you Xu Fengnian are in Liuzhou, it has nothing to do with the overall situation." But even if you have the courage to come and stop me, can you really stop me?"

Although there was still some distance near the exit, and the military information transmitted back by the horse fence in front of him was not unusual, Tan Tan suddenly squinted his eyes and issued an inexplicable military order, "Three thousand vanguard rides, change horses!"

Tan Tan took the lead and rushed forward to kill.

If there is no Beiliang cavalry guarding the rabbit outside the mountain pass, it will be regarded as a martial arts exercise.

In the art of war, there has always been a saying that the half-crossing strikes are attacked, which varies from time to time and from place to place.

A young and elegant rider raised his arm, and six thousand horsemen from two towns came to an abrupt halt behind him.

He looked up at the Miyun Mountain Pass about three miles away, the six thousand men and horses behind him were all dusty, showing a tired look, one person and two horses, everyone and horses were tired, it stands to reason that the cavalry army in this situation did not have half an hour of rest and rectification, and the combat strength would definitely not return to its peak state. The best horse in the world can run about 300 miles a day. The so-called 600 miles expedited or even 800 miles expedited, that is the huge price of changing horses in turn at the post station and killing people without guilt, in fact, the real key to determining the speed of a cavalry army is the physical strength of the cavalry's second-class war horses, those long-distance galloping and riding battles that go down in history are based on the premise of heavy damage to horses, simply put, it is to constantly run alive and dead and weak load-bearing auxiliary horses, so as to ensure the physical strength and impact of the war horses on the battlefield, otherwise a cavalry army exhausted after two or three rushes can cause lethality to the enemy？

This time to attack the Western Regions, the established strategy of the Northern Liang Protectorate and the Liuzhou Thorn History Mansion all required him and another cavalry army to try their best to join forces to intercept the Tan Wan cavalry, and then force the monks of Langtuo Mountain behind this person to enter the main battlefield of Liuzhou Qingcang later and later, so in the final analysis, this interception battle does not seek the size of the results, but is to try to win time for the lone army of the Yuluan Knife Cavalry and the main Dragon Elephant Army, which is very easy to fight, but it is also very difficult to fight, and the conservative way of playing is to ignore the monks and soldiers of the foot soldiers of Langtuo Mountain, and only need to entangle with the open road cavalry of Tan Tan, so that the task will be completed。 But on the way to the two cavalry armies, he put forward a very risky idea, a radical policy that caused both cavalry armies to be very difficult to fight, he thought that the young man nicknamed Cao Dwarf Winter Melon would categorically veto it, and would move out of the "focus on the overall situation" This statement, but it was the first time to fight side by side with him, the young Beiliang cavalry general, even agreed without saying a word, not only that, but also took the initiative to take on a more "death" task, on the grounds that he Cao Wei had more people and horses, And his ability to march and fight in general Cao is also greater, which makes him cry and laugh at the same time, but also a little indescribable, he was in Guangling Road, used to pick up all the burdens alone, used to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops life and death all tied to one heaviness.

This battle, before it started, made him feel very strange.

He Xie Xiqian turned his head to look at the cavalry troops who belonged to the two military towns of Linyao and Fengxiang, and subconsciously reached out to hold the war knife that had only arrived not long ago, the sixth-generation Xu Dao.

Many things and many details, he also really went to the northwest and entered the border army before he began to understand, such as the war knife in his hand, it turned out that the cold knife had two points of attention, one was to sharpen the blade in the workshop, and the other was to kill people and drink blood on the battlefield, otherwise the war knife, if there was only the previous one, it would not be called a cold knife.

Xie Xichen smiled.

The north is cold and bitter, but there are a lot of poor things.

But he likes it, he likes it.

The 6,000 horsemen behind him have a complicated "coming", including the strong horse thief who was originally the king in the two towns, the young man who went into battle to fight for household registration, and the Western Regions Liuqi who was pulled together by the woman named Chai Dongdi.

To be precise, like him Xie Xichen, the Northern Liangbian Army, which has experienced a hundred battles with the Northern Mang, is all chicks, and people are like this, and the newly issued cold knife on the waist is even more so.

Cutting off the head of the Northern Mang's barbarian to make a bloody knife open the blade is not worse than breaking melons for those watery rouge aunts!

This statement is very crude and vulgar, and I don't know who first came out of his mouth.

Although he studied under Cao Changqing of Xichu, Xie Xichen, who was born in the alleys of the city, naturally likes it very much.

Xie Xichen's military orders were accurately conveyed one by one, and the 6,000 cavalry were divided into three parts according to the source, with the 2,500 cavalry and two town cavalry of the most upright background as the vanguard, and charged the Tan cavalry that appeared outside the Miyun exit, clashing with the enemy formation, and the whole army marched together, but failed to benefit, as long as the position was stabilized, so that the Beimang cavalry could not successfully spread the formation outside the mountain pass, they retreated in a small battle, and the second branch of the homeless thousand cavalry rushed to replace it, and then changed to the two thousand cavalry of the Chai Dong Di Division, and retreated one after another. He personally led the elite of the five hundred dragon elephant army to press on the side, once the Beimang cavalry appeared

If there is a sign of breaking through the formation, Xie Xichen will let the five hundred dead soldiers ride the elite horse, even if they die in battle, they will use their corpses to block the exit of Miyun Mountain Pass.

After parting ways with Cao Weiwan's cavalry, the latter had already transferred most of the Liang crossbows and cavalry bows to Xie Xichen's cavalry army.

The best situation is, of course, that after the elite palace of the Tan Cavalry Army, the ordinary cavalry army will take the lead in rushing out of the Miyun Pass, but Xie Xichen believes that the young man who relied on the corpse of the Liangbian Army in the north of the two cities of Luanhe to be the Xia Bowl will definitely not be so taken lightly.

Even if Tan Tan is really so unworthy of the name, then Xie Xichen is more confident that he will get back the exploits that he missed by his first mistake on the real battlefield.

Xie Xiqian gave the order almost at the same time as the Tan Tan in the mountain pass, and then said the same words, "Change horses!"

————

After Cao Wei's 10,000 horsemen separated from Xie Xichen, they began to carry out a long-distance attack as fast as thunder, regardless of the physical damage of the war horse.

Directly bypassed the Miyun Pass!

He wanted to break into an entrance near the western end of the Miyun Mountain Pass, and then put himself in the dead ground, quickly ran east along the mountain pass, and finally got between the Tan Tan cavalry army and the monk soldiers of Lantuo Mountain, so that Xie Xi's 6,000 horsemen could defend the east gate!

So when Cao Wei was separated from Xie Xichen, he half-truthed and half-falsely joked: The surname is Xie, I, General Cao, am determined to become a man like Xu Xiao, the old king of Liang, but this time it is equivalent to tying my head to your Xie Xichen's trouser belt, don't let me die young!

Xie Xichen didn't say anything grand, just nodded.

When Xie Xichen saw the short military general galloping away, he turned his back to himself, raised his arm, and stretched out his thumb.

I don't know what Cao Wei's unique meaning is, or what is the weird and exquisite of the Northern Liang Border Army.

Ten thousand horsemen rushed forward, and its momentum was as great as a landslide tide.

Cao Wei's lips were chapped and oozing a little blood, but his face was full of smiles, and he roared angrily: "Lao Tzu wants to make the battle of Miyun Mountain Pass a heroic cavalry battle that is not inferior to Lu Sheng's snowy night in Luzhou and Chu Lushan's thousand horsemen to open Shu! Cao Wei can die, but he can't die without a name!"

————

Although Miyun Mountain Pass showed a trend of restraint, like a woman's slender waist, after all, it was still able to let more than 20 riders rush out side by side.

Previously, Xie Xichen could see several horses riding back to the mountain pass with just his eyesight, passing on military information.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

However, the cavalry of Tanbu rushed out faster and more quickly than expected.

So much so that the first fifty cavalry of the cavalry army of Fengxiang and Linyao were brutally scattered almost instantly.

Although the light crossbow cavalry bow in Beiliang had been fired in a volley, and the arrows were raining down towards the exit, and soon shot down twenty or thirty cavalry Northern Mang barbarians, the overall momentum of the Northern Mang cavalry was unabated.

Xie Xichen immediately changed his strategy, and immediately ordered five hundred dragon elephant army dead soldiers to shoot out.

There are not enough corpses on both sides, far from enough to form a natural horse stop!

Xie Xichen stopped his horse half a mile outside the mountain pass, with only dozens of horsemen and six herald horsemen by his side.

He is not the kind of fierce general who charges into battle, when he came to the battlefield in person to wipe out the entire army of Yan Zhenchun, the veteran of Liyang Spring and Autumn Festival, Xie Xichen never went into battle to kill the enemy.

It's not that Xie Xichen doesn't have the courage to kill people in a fit of rage, but he knows very well that a general who lives to give accurate orders can lead the army to kill the enemy Yingye.

Xie Xichen not only let the five hundred elite horsemen die, but even issued a military order, if you fall off your horse after the fight and do not die, please try your best to kill the horse on the battlefield!

Xie Xichen remembered the faces that had been resolute in their eyes, and after hearing this order, almost everyone had a look of pain in their eyes, and finally they all rode away silently.

After the five hundred dragon elephants rode to the battlefield quickly,

Xie Xichen gave an expressionless order to open a semi-fan formation for the cavalry of the two towns that had retreated slightly, and once the five hundred cavalry showed signs of retreat, or when only fifty cavalry were left on the battlefield, they had to shoot at the Miyun Pass without distinguishing between the enemy and the enemy.

The lieutenant general of the cavalry army of Linyao and Fengxiang stopped talking, gritted his teeth and took the order.

Then Xie Xichen asked the Lin Yao Fengxiang cavalry to make a passage for twenty horsemen to charge forward side by side at the top of the fan arc, so that a thousand horsemen and young horsemen were ready to be ready, and all the guns and spears in the army were distributed to these outstandingly strong horsemen.

And temporarily singled out 600 people who were good at riding and archery, and formed a separate army, located in front of the fan of the cavalry army of the two towns.

Xie Xichen sat on horseback, looking at the battlefield that was so narrow that it couldn't be narrower, and it was a strange battlefield where everyone died.

Although he couldn't see the scene inside the Miyun Pass clearly, he could fully imagine the dense iron armor there, constantly squeezing and clustering together, like a swarm of locusts, like a nest of anthills.

If there is a mistake in the spy report of the water house, the monks and soldiers of Landa Mountain do not need to be rectified and gathered, and they have already gathered together with the Tan cavalry.

If Cao Wei's cavalry is not advancing fast enough, or if it appears on the battlefield, it is already at the end of the crossbow.

If he Xie Xichen can't keep this opening.

As long as one of them comes true, then the war in Liuzhou has just begun, and it is already a state of decay.

At this moment, Xie Xichen didn't know why, he thought of the young man who always seemed to smile gently, the young man who personally suggested to him outside the Liangzhou Pass to walk more and see more.

Xie Xichen took a deep breath and said to himself in a voice that he could only hear: "You left five hundred reading seeds for my Da Chu, why should Xie Xichen repay him with a death?"

From today onwards, there is no more Great Chu General Xie Xichen, only the Northern Liang Border Army Xie Xichen.
