Chapter 724: Sending Troops
readx;
More than 23,000 cavalry gathered from all over the plains, these men were usually herding, but once they raised their swords, they immediately became fearless warriors. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info:
The banner was raised, and the warriors of all ethnic groups had been on standby for a long time, and Shen Ao beat his horse, taking the ghost wisdom ring and a cadre captain to inspect the battalions.
By the early morning of the fourth day, the grain had been prepared and had been transported out in advance, and the edict was also issued to all the state capitals along the way, so that the state capitals along the way could prepare the supplies for the reward.
In the humid air, the breeze was blowing, and in the middle of Hengshan, on the flat grassland of Pingchuan, Shen Ao Pegasus beat his horse in a team of more than 20,000 people. When these people saw Shen Ao, they were suspicious,
There is indifference, and there is awe.
Shen Ao's reputation has already been publicized, killing Li Cheng, and the villagers have also succumbed, and many of these warriors have been born with a heart of convincing.
Shen Ao waved his arms: "Send troops!" ”
"Untie the cable!"
The herald gave the order, and the horse team began to move along the road out of the mountain, and the foot team began to go out of the mountain road like a long snake, like a long snake, through the plain. There is only one road that can be used for the Chinese New Year's Eve army to go out of the mountain, which is better to walk and can accommodate more than a dozen horses in parallel, so this is also the most heavily guarded place for Hengshan people.
Ghost Zhihuan rode on the horse heroically, that Miaoman's figure was wearing a leather armor, and the fiery red cloak behind her fluttered in the wind when the Pegasus was very eye-catching, and her face was still wearing a ghost face, which made the whole person a little more awe-inspiring temperament. Shen Ao didn't talk to her too much along the way, the woman turned over and got on the horse, and regained her slightly arrogant temperament and indifference, her riding skills were also exquisite, and she had a Xixia long knife hanging from her waist, which added a little more slaughter.
Shen Ao was not in the mood to talk about love at this time, but only urged the Chinese New Year's Eve army to hurry up, and sometimes paid attention to the movement in the north and sent pacesetters to inquire about the news.
The Chinese New Year's Eve army in Yinzhou had not yet withdrawn, and when they came out of the mountain pass, they saw dozens of Chinese New Year's Eve camps on the plains and grasslands with an unobstructed view, and when Shen Ao and the captains appeared from the mountains, dozens of Chinese New Year's Eve officials knelt under their horses in panic to greet them, and said one after another: "The lower officials are late to rescue the king, please forgive His Royal Highness the Regent." ”
The grimace turned his face away, and a pair of beautiful pupils seemed to be admiring the beautiful scenery of the fat aquatic plants swaying in the wind in the distance. But Shen Ao knew that she was used to seeing her own domineering, and there was a faint rebellion in her heart, Shen Ao smiled faintly, sat on the horse and said: "Get up, it has nothing to do with you, this king is also alive and well now, withdraw the Chinese New Year's Eve army here, and inform the Khitan by the way,
Chinese New Year's Eve Song, let them cut off the military horses. ”
The officials felt lucky to say a word to His Royal Highness, and then they went to convey Shen Ao's edict.
The Chinese New Year's Eve Army did not stay in Yinzhou for too long, all the way north, but the speed was extremely fast, and the state capitals along the way had grain and grass supplies, so the weight they carried was actually not much, in fact, it would not drag down the trip.
It's just that at this time, the news of Qilian Mountain finally came.
The Jurchens broke through several border passes, but in fact they did not rush forward with merit, but sent many cavalry along the way to disturb the pass, and stationed the Chinese New Year's Eve army at the eastern foot of Qilian Mountain, at the same time, the military heart of the Western Xia border army had been chaotic for Chinese New Year's Eve, "repeatedly engaged with the Jurchen army, but it was a series of defeats, plus there were many dissatisfied and proud generals who led their troops to surrender, and almost half of the entire border pass has lost its role as a barrier. 、
The effect on the Jurchens' "cities and passes is extremely Chinese New Year's Eve, and the duel with the Jurchen cavalry in the wilderness, at least in the eyes of the nations, is not separated from sending them to death. The Khitan cavalry used to be strong, although it had declined in this era, but among the countries, "the strength is not tolerated."
However, hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen were defeated by the Jurchens with one blow, "covering hundreds of miles, and killing later" actually came to the realm of fright, and after that, the Khitan and the Jurchens clashed, and they no longer dared to fight a decisive battle in the wilderness, but only dared to retreat in the city to hold on.
At present, the Western Xia is facing an extremely Chinese New Year's Eve crisis, that is, the role of the border pass has disappeared, several passes have been broken, and the surrender of the border army Chinese New Year's Eve the Western Xia has been opened in the eyes Chinese New Year's Eve of the Jurchens.
If you want to block this torrent, the only way is to go head-to-head with the Jurchen Iron Cavalry in the vast plains around the Qilian Mountains, and there is no possibility of any luck.
The Cangsheng of Beiguan has begun to flee south on Chinese New Year's Eve, and even many officials have hung up their seals, and the panic is widespread in everyone's hearts, and the rumors of Chinese New Year's Eve have also made the situation extremely bad. In other state capitals in Western Xia, due to the influx of displaced people on Chinese New Year's Eve, countless problems have also arisen, and some forces have been stupid. It can be said without hesitation that the upcoming decisive battle is already related to the life and death of the entire Western Xia.
Western Xia belongs to the Shen family, Shen Ao's bloodline will continue in this kingdom, at this juncture of life and death, if Shen Ao doesn't work hard, no one will be willing to work hard.
The Chinese New Year's Eve army stayed in the camp overnight, and Shen Ao wiped Shang Fang's sword in the Chinese New Year's Eve tent, this sword had been with him for a year, maybe ten days, maybe half a month, and at the latest in March, Shen Ao was going to take it and make a bet on the most Chinese New Year's Eve of his life. He couldn't bear the defeat and was unbearable, so he would rather live and die with Western Xia.
The Chinese New Year's Eve battle is imminent, it is inevitable that there is some tension, the red candles in the tent are burning quietly, the lights are swaying, and the tent made of cowhide is blown open by the night wind from time to time, pouring into a little night wind.
Dip the silk cloth in water, wring it out and then gently rub it on the sword, under the long eyebrows, a pair of clear eyes thoughtfully, Shen Ao sighed, suddenly threw down the sword, the whole person fell crooked on the couch, one by one familiar relatives appeared in his mind, he thought quietly, sometimes smiled, sometimes frowned deeply, pillowed his head with his hands, his eyes passed through the curtains, looked at the top of the tent, Shen Ao suddenly smiled, he vaguely remembered that he used to like to go to see Fang Liang, and at that time, he was still a sour death prisoner, shaking his head all day long, Idle.
"It was a jolly time!" This guy couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, a coughing voice came from outside the tent, followed by a crisp voice: "Has Your Highness slept?" ”
Shen Ao rolled over and sat up, humming.
The curtain of the tent was rolled open, and the ghost Zhihuan walked in lightly, the two did not communicate much along the way, and the ghost Zhihuan was still wearing the ghost face when he came in, still wearing leather armor, and said to Shen Ao: "Your Highness, the pacesetter has returned, and the Luxing Bridge is fifty miles ahead, but there are a lot of displaced people there, and I am only afraid that I will have to bear it when tomorrow passes." ”
Shen Ao already had a headache when he heard the word homeless, and the panic of the Jurchens in Western Xia had reached the extreme, and now you can see the homeless people fleeing south everywhere, and these homeless people have brought panic to the places they have passed, and even some places far away from the border gates, there are still people fleeing with their families.
This kind of sentiment could not be stopped, and the only way to issue an edict to let the state capitals try to contain it.
Seeing Shen Ao frowning, Ghost Zhihuan unveiled his mask, sat down with Shen Ao happily, looked at him with a pair of eyes, and said slowly: "Is Your Highness annoyed again?" ”
Shen Ao smiled bitterly: "There are thousands of things, it depends on this battle." ”
Ghost Zhihuan chuckled and said, "Then His Highness is afraid?" ”
Shen Ao sighed and said, "Of course you're afraid, why aren't you afraid?" I am a scholar, how can I not be afraid of a soldier when I meet a soldier? He had to be right, but he felt like he was afraid that he deserved a reward. He continued: "But in the eyes of others, this king should not be afraid, this king should talk and laugh freely, and he should be heroic. Cheng Ri pretended to be like this to .........", Shen Ao covered his face with his hands and rubbed his face, then raised his head and said, "It's so painful." ”
Ghost Zhihuan smiled faintly, as if his heart was shaken, and he pursed his lips and said, "Why am I not like this?" She continued: "But I have full confidence in Your Highness, who is the proud son of Heaven and will be able to achieve success. ”
Shen Ao laughed instead: "Why does the concubine believe this? ”
Ghost Zhihuan rarely showed a bit of playfulness, and said: "Because it's the most favorite and most hated man I've ever seen." ”
Shen Ao couldn't help but smile bitterly, what do you love and hate the most? Do these two words go well together?
Ghost Zhihuan stood up, went to pick up the Shang Fang sword that Shen Ao threw on the table, and put it into the scabbard with his heart, and then Ying Ying squatted under Shen Ao's collapse, raised her face, stared at Shen Ao with star-like eyes, and raised Shang Fang's sword slightly with her jade hand, and said: "Thousands of years later, the world will definitely proclaim a legend: the regent of Western Xia is in the world, and what Wang Jian points to is like raising a fire to burn the grass, overturning the sea and washing everything, no one can parry." He has the same spirit as the Chinese New Year's Eve Mountain, the vast grassland is not enough to contain his benevolence, and the place covered by the clouds on the horizon is not enough to show his martial arts. Your Highness, the battle of Qilian Mountain is just the beginning of the trial of the edge, ordered by the sky, noble, wise and resolute, will you be afraid of the robbers and bandits in the desert on Chinese New Year's Eve? ”
Shen Ao couldn't help but be moved, seeing the Shang Fang sword held in front of his chest, he couldn't help but reach out and grab it, hold down the hilt and pull the sword out of the sword body by an inch, and said with great pride: "There is another legend, forget it." ”
Ghost Zhihuan smiled faintly, and the starry eyes flashed with relief, and said, "Please show your Highness." ”
Shen Ao looked at her, gently stroked her hair, and said, "The king of Western Xia will meet the most beautiful matriarch here, the matriarch has a face like a goose egg, skin like fat, and black hair, she has a straight face, but she is afraid that she will be too beautiful when she laughs, and she will fall for the country." Shen Ao continued: "The king of Western Xia and the female patriarch fell in love at first sight, and they will give birth to many children in the future, the Chinese New Year's Eve daughter is called Shen Zhaodi, the second daughter is called Shen Zaizhaodi, the third daughter is called Shen Taniang and continues to recruit younger brothers, the fourth daughter is called Shen Taniang, why is there no brother, and the fifth daughter is called Shen Zhaodi with tears in her eyes......"
Ghost Zhihuan smiled, stood up, and said, "Your Highness, rest earlier, the Chinese New Year's Eve battle is coming, why bother thinking about it." "Let's put on a ghost mask, don't wait for Shen Ao's reaction, and walk out of the tent lightly.
Shen Ao was speechless for a while, but suddenly smiled, put Shang Fang's sword solemnly, continued to sleep with his head on his hands, and gritted his teeth and said, "If it is the sixth daughter, it will be called Shen a thief." ”
