Chapter 403: The Final Battle of Liuzhou

Liuzhou is on the verge of breaking out.

At that time, neither side realized that this would be a far-reaching battle of Dingding, chasing the battle of Xileibi that ended the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period.

At the same time, the Beimang Emperor did not hesitate to hollow out the strength of the military town of Gusaizhou, and dispatched 40,000 elite soldiers from the border passes of the Southern Dynasty to reinforce the main force of the Huang Song Pu Department.

The armies of both sides assembled in the vast plain around the left side of Laoyu Mountain, which was only seventy miles away from Qingcang City with low city walls, and the Liuzhou general Kou Jianghuai had recently presented a great victory to Beimang in the northern battlefield, which greatly boosted the morale of Beimang's north and south capitals. However, whether it is the Beiliang Protectorate or the Beicheng Domain, Kou Jianghuai has never been degraded because of this, so Kou Jianghuai is still the main general of this battle, commanding 10,000 Liuzhou young cavalry troops, and 20,000 dragon elephant troops that surpass the Liuzhou cavalry army in terms of border army specifications, and more than 16,000 monks and soldiers of Lantuo Mountain under the command of Xie Xichen. Probably knowing that the trend of this war will determine the ownership of the entire Liuzhou territory, Qingcang City also did its best to dispatch the three thousand cavalry troops that were originally directly under the jurisdiction of the Thorn Shi Mansion, and the four Liuzhou forces with a huge disparity in strength, with a total of nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses in Liuzhou, which can be described as a desperate gamble and handed over to Kou Jianghuai for full disposal.

Although the two sides of Liang Mang compared with the initial strength comparison, the main force of the Huang Song and Pu forces is actually getting smaller, but the morale of the grassland cavalry army that still has the upper hand in numbers is not low, mainly due to the previous mediocre transfer of troops by Kou Jianghuai, the monks of Langtuo Mountain who rushed to aid Liuzhou are seriously out of touch with the Liuzhou border cavalry, resulting in the first heavy casualties since the establishment of the Dragon Elephant Army, so this army of soldiers and horses is greatly inspired, after three interception battles, there are still 12,000 cavalry left in the Huang Song Pu lineage, if you count the grass fence that has almost lost all casualties, the loss can be more than half, so it can be seen that the battle of Liuzhou is a well-deserved hard battle, this more than 10,000 elite cavalry with outstanding combat power is undoubtedly the Dinghai Divine Needle in the next big war.

Wanyan Yinjiang, who was born in Longguan Jiazi Hao, lost face in the second battle, and it was because of his mistakes that Beimang could not form a tight encirclement, so that the main force of Koujiang Huai could easily break through and leave. His elder brother, Wanyan Jinliang, who was the first person in the Southern Dynasty, sent a secret letter to reprimand him for arriving in the army before His Majesty the Emperor of the Beiting Palace, and the wording was extremely harsh, and the implication was to tell Wanyan Yinjiang that if he could not save the family's face in Liuzhou, then the family would close the door to Wanyan Yinjiang. Before the third battle of Liuzhou began, Wanyan Yinjiang not only summoned all the generals in the army, but even the centurion shouted to the open space outside the camp tent without falling, and asked everyone to make a military order. Therefore, in the third battle, Wanyan Yinjiang cavalry soldiers are not afraid of death, after the war, statistics, sure enough, everything has been gained, the abundance of military merits, is to surpass the main force of the Huang Song and Pu departments, but also far away from a few big B-shaped high doors gathered together the family base cavalry, when this letter written by the old handsome Huang Songpu personally wrote the good news back to the grassland and two capitals, Wanyan cavalry caused a sensation in the Southern Dynasty, the old woman Long Yan Dayue, to the Wanyan family gave a full eighteen Xianbei buckle belts, which means that Wanyan has more than eighteen cowardly Xue Wei places, and more importantly, this battle ensures that the Wanyan surname sits firmly on the throne of the first surname in the Southern Dynasty。

It's just that the sequelae is that after the tragic battle, the number of elite horsemen of the Wanyan private army has been sharply reduced to 14,000 people, plus the head of the family Wanyan Jinliang needs to sit on the second line outside Liangzhou Pass, the same war is imminent, Wanyan's children have poured out of the nest, in the Southern Dynasty military town border army galloped to the aid of the old woman mountain battlefield team, there is no cavalry army surnamed Wanyan, now Gusai Prefecture and Longjiao Prefecture on the southern border of Beimang, except for the soldiers and horses who participated in the southward knock, the rest of the large and small military leaders stationed in the same place, have been soaked by the remnants of Hongjia Beiben, and have long known the truth that strange goods can live, especially the importance of Gusai Prefecture is slightly inferior to the Longjiao Prefecture where the Beimang Chinese Army is locatedAfter all, it is the trend of the times to go south to Lao Fei Mountain, and no one can refuse the will of His Majesty the Emperor, but there are many things under the table, for example, the Wanyan family is afraid that Wanyan Yinjiang will make a mistake in the next battle because of the problem of troops, so they secretly offered the two towns of Ligu Maolong, which are second only to the two important towns of the Wazhu Junzi Pavilion, and tried to persuade the two cavalry armies to take care of the Wanyan cavalry in the battle of Lao Fei Mountain, but the two town lords resolutely refused, and it turned out that the two people who were also on the front line of Liuzhou were the few B-shaped Gaomen, has already taken the lead in spending a lot of money to reach a temporary alliance with them, and the offer is far more sincere than the reserved Wanyan family, such as "buying" a certain B-word family of Maolong's 5,000-sided horse, not only promising that the family's daughter-in-law will marry the eldest son of the horseman, just a box of real money, and smashing 400,000 taels of silver to Maolong Military Town!

It stands to reason that after three heroic battles in succession, the B-shaped cavalry with the weakest combat strength and the largest number of soldiers and horses should have suffered the heaviest losses, but the result is incredible, and the soldiers and horses that survived and advanced to the Laoyu Mountain battlefield with the commander Huang Songpu before the southern expedition were still as many as 34,000 horsemen! , except for the 20,000 cavalry army that belonged to the old southern courtyard king Huang Songpu old army and horses, obviously only the old handsome horse is the first to look forward, but the remaining 20,000 cavalry have been carved up by these eight immortals of the B-word family across the sea to show their powers, Huang Songpu, who has lost the king of the southern courtyard, is helpless, and the old woman who sits on the dragon chair and cares about the Central Plains is turning a blind eye.

Huang Songpu, who has a large number of reinforcements, is not greedy for merit, otherwise the main battlefield of this magnificent war that will start soon will be under Qingcang City, rather than an old woman mountain hanging overseas like a small island.

Dozens of miles to the right of Lao Yu Mountain, the wind is high and the sand is big, a large area of rugged landform, the cavalry is naturally extremely difficult to gallop, the first Liang reckless battle Liu Qi cavalry is from the plain of the left wing of Lao Yu Mountain smoothly south, but at that time the Liuzhou border army was only based on the city to defend the city, the strength is relatively weak, the wandering people have not yet joined the army on a large scale, the Dragon Elephant Army is lonely, and the main force of the field is not enough to support a large-scale cavalry battle far away from Qingcang City, so it did not choose to take the initiative to intercept. However, it is obvious that this time is different from the past, after Kou Jianghuai obtained the complete military power of a state, coupled with the special attention of the Beiliang Protectorate and the young vassal king to Liuzhou, Kou Jianghuai not only fought three heart-wrenching interception battles, but also resolutely chose the flat and broad Lao Fei Mountain as the final battlefield, victory, the Beimang cavalry will not see a glimpse of the city wall of Qingcang City from beginning to end, defeat, then not to mention a Qingcang City is destined to become the bag of the Beimang cavalry, Liuzhou is afraid that it will become a new state of the Northern Mang Southern Dynasty.

The old woman's mountain is not tall and steep, but only like a large mound with a gentle mountain, and the north and south slopes are even enough for the cavalry to ride to the top.

Even if it is a mediocre general who is extremely dim, he will feel that occupying Lao Fei Mountain overlooking the battlefield is conducive to judging the situation and dispatching troops, Kou Jianghuai is one of the famous Chu Shuangbi, Huang Song Pu has become the meritorious military general of the king of the Southern Courtyard by virtue of his outstanding military exploits, so the battle for the commanding heights of Lao Fei Mountain, before the official battle of the two cavalry armies, has been fiercely launched, Huang Song Pu did not consume the selfishness of other elites, and decisively sent the only remaining four hundred grass railings to climb the mountain, carrying shields and holding knives, and the green grass columns were at the border of the Southern Dynasties, and had been on the same level as Dong Zhuo's crow fence and the black fox fence of the general Liu Jue, ranking among the top three together, although dismounted to fight, but everyone is majestic and amazing, and is good at catching and killing in contact warfare.

Sure enough, the Liuzhou side sent six hundred white-horse crossbowmen, also holding only swords and shields, and almost at the same time brazenly climbed the mountain.

The two sides entered the battlefield in the Lao Fei Mountain area almost at the same time, and began to fight for Lao Fei Mountain almost at the same time, which is probably the so-called providential coincidence.

Huang Songpu naturally does not think that four hundred grass railings can take the top of Lao Fei Mountain, after this batch of elite horse fences, six hundred dead soldiers are drawn from various departments, there are green grass railings nailed to death in Lao Fei Mountain, Wanyan Yinjiang and the rest of the powerful generals of the B-word Gaomen did not hesitate, the old marshal Huang Songpu in the three wars, behaved diametrically opposed to Dong Zhuo in the first Liang Reckless War, there was no measure to weaken the power of other soldiers and horses, the first death battle, the dead man in front, three hard battles, the old marshal reported the military situation to His Majesty the Emperor, and there was also a lot of care, twice to take the charge with all his might, and the third time to generously send out military merits, If you have to make inches under this premise, blindly preserve your strength, even Wanyan Yinjiang, who has a gloomy temperament, can't help it, and out of all the six hundred dead soldiers, Wanyan Yinjiang sent three hundred Wanyan disciples.

Sure enough, small-scale contact warfare, there is no room for maneuver brought by the war horse, the dead are faster, four hundred grass fences quickly die, looking up from the foot of the mountain, the top of the old woman mountain is the figure of the remaining white horse crossbowmen, six hundred Southern Dynasty dead soldiers into the battlefield violently, Liuzhou side seems to only take the white horse crossbowmen as a way to occupy the opportunity, and there is no meaning to let all the crossbowmen confess their lives in the old woman mountain, which is also reasonable, the ownership of the old woman mountain, of course, is important, but it is not crucial, it cannot be called the victory or defeat of the left and right battlefield, if the two sides are the Central Plains territory of the rhythm is slower than the cavalry battle, the gains and losses of the old woman mountain, the significance is greater, but in the cavalry battle, especially to achieve this kind of large-scale cavalry battle with the accumulation of more than 100,000 troops on both sides, and both sides are familiar with the elite of horseback combat, the fighter is often fleeting, and the old woman mountain is not located in the center of the battlefield, but on the side that deviates from the battlefield, when the time comes, the side that loses the old woman mountain, you can take the initiative to withdraw the main battlefield from the old woman mountain, then the old woman mountain is convenient to observe the battlefield situation, and it will be weakened. Therefore, the two sides know that the battle for Lao Yu Mountain is bloody and tragic, and to a large extent, it can be said to be used to improve the morale of the soldiers at the foot of the mountain.

Liuzhou reinforcements soon reached the top of Lao Yu Mountain, it was nearly a thousand monks of Langtuo Mountain, from Liangzhou Pass to the Liuzhou border pass of the white horse crossbowmen, compared to the whole army annihilated on the battlefield of the enemy grass fence, the loss is also not small, close to 300 people died on the spot on the top of the mountain.

Deviating from the foot of the southern slope of the main battlefield of Lao Yu Mountain, Kou Jianghuai, as the leading general, was unexpectedly in the column, the military power of the 10,000 Liuzhou Qingzhuang cavalry, this Liuzhou general has been completely handed over to the begging Longguan, as for the 20,000 dragon elephant army, on the battlefield where the main force of Beimang confronted, it was naturally Xu Longxiang and Li Mofan who each led 10,000 horses, Kou Jianghuai only said how to win the battle, how to deploy in detail and how to roughly schedule, but he would never interfere with the fight after the dragon elephant army entered the battlefield, and the three thousand horsemen directly under the Liuzhou Thorn Mansion did not appear here, but followed after the 10,000 horses of the begging Longguan, a total of 10,000 horsemen, a total of 10,000 horses, and the left and right wings were the stronger dragon elephant horses。

Huang Songpu did not go to the foot of the northern slope of Lao Fei Mountain as leisurely as Kou Jianghuai, sitting in charge of his own Chinese army, when the veteran vaguely saw the monks and soldiers of Langtuo Mountain appearing on the top of the mountain, the old man with a dignified face finally breathed a sigh of relief, before the third battle, Xie Xichen's monks and soldiers were not as good as chicken ribs, it was simply a burden to drag his legs, so that the general of the Southern Dynasty won a big victory that he did not even expect from the Taiping Order, and the great achievements shook the grassland, but Huang Songpu was deep in his heart, but he was even more jealous of the monks of the Langtuo Mountain under the command of this Northern Liang who won the battle of Miyun Pass, and was not as optimistic as many generals of the border army of the Southern Dynasty that believed that the root cause of the defeat of the border army of Liuzhou, it was Kou Jianghuai who deliberately suppressed Xie Xichen, a peer who was famous all over the world in the battle of Miyun, Huang Songpu firmly believed that this was a set that Kou Jianghuai and Xie Xichen had set for themselves, and if they were not careful, the person who was strangled would be tens of thousands of grassland children.

Wanyan Yinjiang, who was armed with an iron spear and heavy armor, rode over and asked loudly, "General, when will you charge?"

Huang Songpu glanced at the direction of Lao Fei Mountain and said calmly: "Wait." ”

Wanyan Yinjiang, who knows the inside story of the military aircraft, is a little puzzled, in addition to the four hundred green grass bars and the six hundred dead soldiers of the Southern Dynasty, the old man also has a backhand, a full 1,500 border army soldiers, and uses these first-class elites to compete for the old woman mountain, the degree of attention can be seen, but even the talent of the soldiers is not as good as the background of the Xuanhe Wanyan Yinjiang knows a little, the strength is probably still less, and the Liangbian army in the north has always been a dead person who can lose the battle to save face, and the most unfortunate has to add a thousand people, in order to slightly guarantee to eat the commanding heights of the old woman mountain, an old woman mountain, only worth this price, invest more troops, and die more people on the mountain, for the main generals of both sides, it is a loss-making deal。 The old handsome Huang Songpu obviously didn't plan to take the old woman mountain at the beginning, but it was more like a temptation, after three big battles, Wanyan Yinjiang knew that he was two pounds, and his unruly character had already smoothed out the edges and corners, and he was happy and convinced of the old general's ability to use soldiers.

The figures of monks and soldiers are constantly floating in the water, and these monks of Langtuo Mountain, who are extremely powerful, are particularly eye-catching at the top of Lao Yu Mountain, and 1,500 soldiers from the north and south of the country have generously died.

In the end, on the top of Lao Fei Mountain, there are still two hundred monks of Langtuo Mountain with more and more scarlet robes, and the soldiers and horses of Liuzhou are constantly superimposed and increasing, putting on a fierce posture that Lao Tzu has taken the "old woman" of Lao Yu Mountain.

Wanyan Yinjiang quietly stopped his horse at the side of the old man, his brows furrowed, and with the last hand all killed, this also means that the old woman mountain is regarded as the forbidden body of the Liuzhou cavalry.

Huang Songpu hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "General Wanyan, how many people do you think the monks of Langtuo Mountain have dispatched for that old woman's mountain?"

After Yan Yinjiang subconsciously replied: "Look at it, a thousand people have been killed in battle." ”

Huang Songpu laughed at it, didn't care about the answer of this Northern Mang tyrant, looked up at the clear sky, nodded, and said to himself: "No matter what, you can start fighting." ”

Along the southern slope of the not steep Laoyu Mountain, three young people led the horses slowly, the Liuzhou general Kou Jiangjun, the only remaining white-horse crossbowman captain Li Hanlin in Beiliang, and Liu Xiliang, who personally brought 3,000 reinforcements to Kou Jianghuai.

Except for the hundreds of monks and soldiers waiting at the top of the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain behind the three people, except for the white-horse crossbowmen who were resting on the spot, there were no soldiers and horses at all.

Li Hanlin was the first to leave the team and moved the bodies of the dead down the mountain with Pao Ze.

Not far from Li Hanlin, there was always a tall man wearing an ordinary border military uniform but never wearing a sword, and what was even more strange was that everyone turned a blind eye to this person.

Approaching the top of the mountain, Chen Xiliang asked softly, "General Kou, how did you guess that Huang Songpu would only use less than 3,000 people to fight for Lao Fei Mountain?"

Kou Jianghuai smiled, "I have fought three battles with him, and I generally know Huang Songpu's temperament, he is an old and careful leader, he knows that Lao Yushan can't decide the trend of the battlefield, if it weren't for the traces of the monks and soldiers of Langtuo Mountain, he wouldn't even send the last 1,500 people to die." Now that he finally saw his determination to use the monks of Langtuo Mountain to take down the old woman's mountain, it is estimated that the old guy can almost be relieved, because I gave a death order at the beginning, and I will never allow any Beimang dead soldier to be on the top of this mountain, and after seeing the bottom of the southern mountain, he can pass on the military information alive, so that he has to trouble the fart sect master next to Li Hanlin to secretly help, in order to make Huang Songpu unable to guess how many monks and soldiers are stationed on the southern slope. ”

Finally stepping to the top of the mountain, Chen Xiliang looked at the north from afar, and said bitterly: "Even if you know that there are actually only 1,500 monks and soldiers in the south of Laoyu Mountain, I believe that Huang Songpu will never guess the whereabouts of the main force of the monks." Because even if it's me Chen Xiliang, I still feel incredible. ”

The Liuzhou general said expressionlessly: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, and his appearance on that battlefield was not only chosen by Xie Xiqian himself, but also I Kou Jianghuai...... I don't want to stop him. ”

Chen Xiliang, who was in a complicated mood, could only sigh.

In the battle of Miyun, Xie Xichen defended the mountain pass.

Next, Xie Xichen will personally lead more than 10,000 monks and soldiers to resist 60,000 reinforcements from the border pass of the Southern Dynasty alone.

In order to let the Liuzhou cavalry join hands with the Qingyuan army to control the soldiers and horses, and swallow the main force of the Huang Song and Pu tribes in one bite.

Rao is a layman like Chen Xiliang, and he also knows that some battlefields can be put to death and survive, and some battlefields are not.

Chen Xiliang couldn't figure it out, obviously Kou Jianghuai didn't personally open his mouth to give the order, Xie Xichen had already taken the initiative to raise the matter, and at that time, including Xu Longxiang, Li Mofan, and Liuzhou Assassin Yang Guangdou, everyone hesitated.

Because everyone knows one thing, even if it is a complete 20,000 monks and soldiers of Langtuo Mountain combined, in the mind of the young vassal king in the northern city, it is not as important as a Xie Xichen who was taken away from Western Chu by his own hands.

Only Kou Jianghuai dared to nod openly and agree, and let Xie Xichen die.

In the rugged area west of the deserted Lao Fei Mountain, Xie Xiqian stopped his horse, and behind him were more than 10,000 monks and soldiers, all of whom abandoned their swords and took large shields, and held spears to reject horses.

It was only after the middle-aged warrior monk who served as a scout flew back and informed that there were no Beimang scouts in the ten miles ahead, and after the main general Xie Xichen's arm was raised, the army continued to move forward quickly.

Xie Xichen, who had dry lips, grinned and exhaled softly, for no reason to think of the delicate little lady who often walked briskly past her door with her head bowed when she was young and squatting on the steps to bask in the sun.

To the south of Beiliang, there is her.

And for good reason!
