Chapter 384: Western Chu Shuangbi (I)
In autumn, the horses are fat, and the water and grass are abundant.
But further south from Beimanggusaizhou, the scene is a little desolate and boring.
It's all yellow sand.
It is worthy of Beiliang, bitter cold and barren, so that even the reckless horse, which is regarded as the closest to the camel, is a little uncomfortable.
However, I heard that the pastures in the Lianglong area of Liangzhou Guannei are the feng shui treasures of the world's first-class Malaysia, because they happen to be stained with the word Long, which makes the civil officials and military generals of the Northern and Southern Dynasties all think about it, and regard it as a forbidden thing in the bag. Chen Xiliang, Kou Jianghuai and others had more valuable heads on their shoulders than the princes, in exchange for the ownership of several ranches over there, such as the world-famous Xianli Ranch and Tianjing Ranch.
It's just that this trip to the south, it is indeed a bit unfavorable, Xijing only heard a good news not long ago, saying that it was the eldest grandson of the breeder who was promoted to the summer bowl by virtue of his military exploits, and successfully persuaded the bald donkeys of Langtuo Mountain to return to Beimang, but when the horseshoe of the army just stepped into the border of Liuzhou, where birds do not, there was immediately bad news. Then there were 10,000 elite horsemen of the Tan Department who were blocked in the Miyun Pass, and the Tan Tan still did not know whether he was alive or dead. The general who sat on the second line of the middle road, the supernatural power, soon made a plea to the king of the north court, and His Majesty the emperor was not polite to the seed family at all, and directly issued an order to the middle road, and the younger brother of the supernatural power, That is, the uncle of the Xia bowl Chong Liang led 8,000 fine cavalry to leave the station, rushed to Gusai Prefecture to intercept the Beiliang cavalry army that went deep into the hinterland, nominally under the command of the commander Huang Songpu, that posture obviously means that the good pattern of Liuzhou is rotten because of your descendants of the family, then use the life of the 8,000 family sons to pay off the debt, stopped, the past is not to blame, can not be stopped, then continue to take the surname to fill in, if the seed Liang is still not capable enough, then it will be your turn to plant the magic power in person, and the war outside the Liangzhou Pass does not need to be involved, and obediently go to Gusai Prefecture to clean up the messγ
After Hong Jingyan died inexplicably in the Longyaner Plain, tens of thousands of Rouran Iron Riders were leaderless, and they were completely divided by the major forces on the front line in an instant.
In the first Liang Reckless War, the great generals of the northern grasslands, who had their own losses, have almost begun to make small calculations, and after the fall of the general's supernatural powers, how many kinds of veterans can they get.
On the grassland, learning from those literati of the Southern Dynasties who like wind and snow, everyone feels awkward, but they can sit on the ground and share the spoils, and everyone is familiar with it.
The army of the western front of Beimang advanced to the south step by step, the speed was not fast, this army of soldiers and horses ten days ago, suddenly by 10,000 Northern Liang dragon elephant cavalry fierce resistance, in just half an hour, Huang Song Pu under the command of 6,000 vanguard cavalry on the battlefield so throwing corpses, from the hand-to-hand to the end of the battle and then to the sloppy collection of corpses, many of the Longguan magnates who aspired to Liangzhou felt that they had not eased up.
In fact, it can't be said that there is no warning, after the army crossed from the southern dynasty to the border of Liuzhou, his own horse fence and the Beiliang scouts bumped into each other, and soon let the Beimang generals who learned the truth jump to their feet and scold their mothers, so that they don't die, it turned out to be the white horse crossbowmen outside the Liangzhou Pass who came here to spread the wild! Although he has already pulled out the camp and moved south away from the temple, whether it is the commander Huang Songpu or the military general who holds the elite cavalry of the Southern Dynasty, he has to pay attention to the movements in his backyard, and he does not let the Hutou City area see the figure of a crossbowman riding Beiliang, which is the personal will of His Majesty the Emperor in the Xijing court, what is the result? Dong Fatzi's crow fence is dead, the black fox fence of the general Liu Jue is also dead, and even it is said that even Dong Zhuo's brother-in-law threw his life in the Longyaner Plain, and in the end, in vain let the young lieutenant of Beiliang surnamed Li move the grassland overnight, and now he is swaggering to the north of Liuzhou to show off his might!
Huang Songpu is a famous man on the battlefield who fought an old war, so when the casualties and espionage reports of Ma Lanzi continued to enter the Shuai Tent, he had begun to shrink the front, and also slowed down the speed of advancing southward. Although Huang Songpu still holds the title of one of the thirteen generals of Beimang, the hat of the king of the Southern Courtyard has long been taken off, and he is also an old man who has retired.
To tell the truth, in the first Liang Mang War, Dong Fatzi personally presided over the middle line of the overall situation is a sure victory, even Hutou City has been defeated, the body of Liu Jinu, the general of Beiliang, was sent back to the Southern Dynasty in a coffin, the situation is very good, and the Liuzhou battlefield where Liu Jue is sitting is a balance of power, although the battle damage is not small, but after all, even Wang Lingbao, the deputy general of the Dragon Elephant Army, has been killed, but it is a pity that Youzhou is too lagging behind, probably Yang Yuanzan is really too old, and he has fallen into the situation of annihilation of the whole army, I don't think there is anything terrible about the Northern Liangbian Army, especially the Liuzhou soldiers and horses who are naturally shorter than the Liangzhou Cavalry and Youzhou Infantry Army, except for the Dragon Elephant Army that was injured in the first battle, is there still a first-class elite who can handle it? No matter how much you stare at it, it's gone. So almost all of these guys are holding their breath of evil, especially the haunting Liangzhou crossbowman, which is more and more annoying.
At dawn, an old man who stayed all night in the company of several strong servants, slowly walked out of the heavily guarded cowhide camp, came to a small dirt slope to climb the south and look south, among the entourage, a middle-aged man who was dressed like a Confucian scholar in the Central Plains was particularly eye-catching, and in the face of the old man who was still in the tiger and mighty, there was no half of restraint, the old man was tall and bearded, wearing armor and swords, without any decay and old state, roughly speaking, they were a generation apart in age, and the momentum was equal. The old man is Huang Songpu, one of the few generals in the Southern Dynasty, and the man who looks like a Confucian scholar is a kind of Liang who has a poor reputation in the Northern Mang Army, this person is a first-class heroic giant in the Northern Mang River, and he has never heard of a history of leading troops to fight, this time he should have led eight thousand family elite cavalry straight to Gusai Prefecture to fight the fire, but for some reason he would have made a detour to this place alone, allowing the elite of the eight thousand families to go straight into the abdomen of the Southern Dynasty.
Kind of Liang hurried to see the demise of the six thousand Beimang vanguard cavalry, and then made up his mind not to move, and stayed with the army to the south for so many days, during this period, this can almost be described with the words "only the fruit remains" The Beimang martial arts master also personally shot twice with great leisure, and killed forty or fifty Liangzhou crossbowmen who had already left the battlefield. Huang Songpu personally trained the horse fence back then, and his reputation in the border army of the Southern Dynasty is not small, but it is still much inferior to the crow fence of the younger generation Dong Zhuo or the black fox fence of the same generation Liu Qi, this is not to say that Huang Songpu's military management of the army will lose to those two, since the old man can control the military and politics of Xijing for so many years, and can divide the north and south with Xu Huainan, the king of the Northern Courtyard, naturally he will not be an ordinary person, but Huang Songpu's identity as the king of the Southern Courtyard in the past 20 years is far more important than the general, and his mind has to be inclined to the templeOver time, it is difficult to go to the border pass army to do it personally, so this time to lead the army south, Huang Songpu couldn't help but have mixed feelings, and he had been in the battle formation for a long time, even if the art of war did not fall, but many details were indeed unable to run as well as they did back then.
If it was more than ten years ago, the 6,000 vanguard cavalry would never dare to rush forward and collide with the 10,000 dragon elephant army without authorization, but this is not the place that really makes the old man feel tired, but some of the more unknown insiders, on the surface, the children of Longguan are unruly, greedy for merit and even disadvantageous, the fact is that Huang Songpu's original intention is to let the vanguard cavalry army with poor combat strength as bait to lure the Liuzhou cavalry into the mud, the old man has already prepared 10,000 pro-army elite cavalry ready to go, just wait for the war to be a little stalemate, you can reinforce the battlefield at the critical moment, and finally make a final decision, eat the 10,000 dragon elephant army in one bite, even if it is 20,000 soldiers and horses for 10,000 dragon elephant horses, Huang Songpu is a big victory, whether it is the momentum of the empty head or the real situation, it is the same.
But compared with those heart-wrenching field main force duel cavalry battles, Huang Songpu found that he was a little overwhelmed in this small-scale contact battle that could only be called fleeting, the first is to overestimate the combat power of the Longguan vanguard cavalry, and underestimate the strength of the Dragon Elephant Army, so that when 10,000 pro-troops were put into the battlefield, from the original praying mantis to the cicada hunting into pure rescue, what is more deadly is that in the next battle prediction, Huang Songpu believes that the main general of the Liuzhou cavalry who launched the raid also has the idea of luring the enemy into depth, so Huang Songpu, who is heavy with soldiers, hesitated a little, although he let 10,000 pro-army elites launch a decisive pursuit, but strictly ordered the cavalry general not to leave the main force fifty miles, which means the size of the battle, only within fifty miles, the last cavalry will bring the old man a crying and laughing truth, after chasing and killing fifty miles to obey the order to stop the horse, the remaining more than 3,000 enemy horsemen rode away, except for dozens of white-horse crossbowmen who were far away from the battlefield, this dragon elephant army that ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall, there was no reinforcement at all!
How can there be such a war?
The general of Beiliang Border Pass, who dealt with Huang Songpu, Liu Jinu of Hutou City, or Zhong Hongwu, the original general of Huaihua, no matter how he was so crazy!
Huang Songpu was worried, raised his eyes into the distance, frowned and said nothing.
The big demon of Beimang, who was wearing a Confucian shirt, glanced at the old general's expression, and said with a smile: "Old General Huang, as long as you put aside the vast western region where the two military towns of Linyao and Fengxiang are located, in fact, Liuzhou is such a big place, and Beiliang uses troops to make a dojo in a snail shell, and he can't afford to toss the wind and waves." Even if the battle of Miyun Pass added 20,000 monks and soldiers to Beiliang, it would still be just a drop in the bucket. β
Huang Songpu shook his head and said: "Qingcang City in Liuzhou has several elites of the Xujia border army in Qingyuan Military Town echoing from afar, and there are Youzhou light cavalry with Yu Luan knife to help tear the battle line, whether it is strategic depth or force comparison, it is not as inferior as we imagined. Not to mention ......"
Chong Liang took over the conversation, and his smile was even stronger, "Why, the old general is also worried about Xichu Shuangbi Xie Xichen and Kou Jianghuai, both of them are really making suggestions for Beiliang on the battlefield in Liuzhou?"
The old man said calmly: "I believe that no one in the world can despise these two joining forces, right?"
Feng Zi's demeanor is like the kind of mountain and forest immortals on the picture scroll and said with a cool smile: "As long as the Liuzhou troops have not gathered in one place, I believe that they will not be the opponents of the old general." Compared with the first battle, although the number of the current 30,000 Dragon Elephant Army has not decreased, it is also an elite cavalry drawn from the left and right cavalry of Liangzhou, but the combat power is still worse, as for the Liuzhou Qingzhuang under the command of Kou Jianghuai, it is even more patchwork, it is difficult to fight that kind of hard battle, and the remnants of Xie Xichen are not worth mentioning, otherwise Qingliangshan and Duhufu will not hand over the 20,000 monks of Lantuo Mountain to him. The local army of Liuzhou is 70,000, but the old general has as many as 150,000, and he can get reinforcements from the border of South Korea at any time, as long as it is not a battle, it will be defeated......"
Speaking of this, Chong Liang laughed at himself and did not continue.
First, this is a bit unlucky, and second, this view is too absurd.
Liuzhou is not the strange battlefield of Youzhou Hulukou, and Huang Songpu is not Yang Yuanzan, and the Liangzhou border army, which is too busy to take care of itself, can no longer free up so many strange soldiers to invest in the battlefield of Liuzhou.
The old man laughed and said: "It's just that the two young people, Xie Xichen and Kou Jianghuai, have made Yan Zhenchun and Yang Shenxing, the veterans of the Spring and Autumn Period, suffer a big loss, and now there are more young people in Liuzhou, which makes me such an old guy, how can I be embarrassed." β
Chong Liang remembered the secret matter, and sighed sincerely: "Jiang is still old and spicy." β
Chong Liang deflected his gaze and looked at the area west of Qingcang City.
The elite infantry of the first class of the Northern Mang and Southern Dynasties were temporarily drawn from various military towns, totaling more than 30,000 people, and went straight to the Western Regions.
At this time, it was probably already attacking the two towns of Fengxiang and Linyao.
The two cavalry armies of Beiliang Cao Wei and Yu Luandao had no way to retreat.
ββββ
It's just that not to mention the temples of the Northern Mang and Southern Dynasties and the army of the Western Front, in fact, even the Qingliangshan and Huaiyang Pass Protectors did not expect that the new Liuzhou deputy general Xie Xichen, who should have led 20,000 monks and soldiers to Qingcang City, divided his troops into two routes, and quietly settled in the two towns of Fengxiang and Linyao to wait for work.
And the Liuzhou general Kou Jianghuai, at this time, was leading a dozen miscellaneous light horsemen under his command, rushing to the north with the momentum of thunder, and then suddenly stopped his horse above the limit distance that the Huang Song Pu horse fence might appear.
And the cavalry that continued to charge forward strongly after a little rest was the 30,000 elite cavalry under Xu Longxiang.
The main force of the field army of the border army of Liuzhou is out of the nest!
