In the north of the Eastern Qian's Empire, Yunling - the temporary residence of the Qianyu Army

Night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The bitter cold wind mixed with goose feather snowflakes howled and shook the branches, and the tents of the garrison had only been set up for half an hour, and they were already covered with thick snow.

"Angry hair rushes to the crown, relying on the place, Xiaoxiao rain rest. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad.

The frontier is ashamed, and it is still snowing; when will the courtiers be destroyed? Drive a long car and step through the lack of clouds and mountains. Zhuang is hungry for ferocious meat, laughing and thirsty for the blood of thieves. To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky. ”

On the cliff of Yunling, a middle-aged man put his hands behind his back, looked at the snow between the sky, and chanted at the night sky.

This middle-aged man has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a pair of dark eyes are blazing, and a three-foot Qingfeng sword is tied to his waist.

He is the commander of the Qianyu Army, the only marshal of the Eastern Qian's Empire and the only one-word king - Xiao Yuan.

Seventeen years ago.

Qin Ming, the general of the Fenglin Empire, led an army of 400,000 to the north to attack Dongqian, and the place where he passed was like a big water and sand, and the sharp momentum was unstoppable, and he led the army to attack the royal capital of the Dongqian Empire.

For a time, there was a great chaos in Dongqian, and the voices of the court cutting land and seeking peace were endless.

At that time, Xiao Yuan, who was less than twenty-five years old, served as the commander of the Eastern Qianwang City and the Northern Outer City, with a total of 2,000 ironclad infantry troops and 3,000 crossbowmen.

The terrain of the northern outer city is flat, and the city is relatively low, among the four outer cities, the northern outer city is the most difficult to defend.

Up and down the court, no one is optimistic about Xiao Yuan, this stunned young man in his early twenties can hold Beicheng, because Xiao Yuan, the official position of the commander of Beicheng, is hereditary, and he has never been on the battlefield before, and he has never had any military exploits.

But then, Xiao Yuan's performance surprised everyone.

The defense of the northern outer city was weak and easy to break, so the army of the Fenglin Empire put the main force of the attack on the northern city, and the army attacking the northern city invested a total of about 100,000 before and after, and it was still the most elite troops of the Fenglin Empire.

Day and night stormed the northern city.

And Xiao Yuan only relied on the 5,000 infantry in his hand and the 3,000 royal city forbidden troops who supported him, a total of 8,000 men and horses, and created a miracle.

Eight thousand men and horses can be called a famous general in the face of 100,000 enemy troops, and if they can hold out for ten days without being breached, they can already be called famous generals, but Xiao Yuan has resisted the 100,000 elite tiger and wolf attack of the Maple Forest Empire for three months.

In the last half month, under the northern city, the corpses are like mountains, the city wall is stained with blood, whether it is a soldier or a general, on the city wall, they are already covered in blood, Xiao Yuan from the first day of this battle is like all ordinary soldiers, standing on the city wall, his silver-white battle armor, snow-white cloak has long been soaked in blood, holding a spear in the eyes of the enemy like a god and demon.

Three months later, the garrisons from all over Dongqian arrived one after another, and the Fenglin Imperial army had not broken the siege for three months, and it was already lacking in sharpness, and if it continued to fight, it would increase casualties, so it had no choice but to withdraw and leave.

After this battle, Xiao Yuan was named the commander and commanded the 10,000 infantry troops in the northern border of Dongqian.

In the next seventeen years, Xiao Yuan was entrusted by the Dongqian Emperor to reuse, and the north regained the lost land, large and small, 23 battles, no defeat, not only recovered all the lost territory in the north, but also conquered the fourteen cities of the Fenglin Empire.

After more than ten years, Xiao Yuan led the army to kill a total of 240,000 enemies and captured more than 100,000 enemies.

And Xiao Yuan also worshiped the imperial marshal, the emperor of Dongqian personally named the king side by side, and alone led the 430,000 troops in the north of Dongqian, and his relatives were 30,000 tiger divisions.

The weight of grace is definitely more than any courtier since the founding of Dongqian.

Everyone in Dongqian knows the name of Xiao Yuan, and if the people below mention Xiao Yuan, they will respectfully shout 'King of Zhenbei'.

Xiao Yuan's relatives Qianyu 30,000 tiger divisions were divided into 30 battalions, with 1,000 people as one battalion.

The 30,000 troops are all iron horses, and the Duyun war horses ridden under the crotch can run for 1,500 miles a day, so long-distance surprise operations are what the Qianyu army is best at.

Xiao Yuan knew the truth of the master, so three years ago, he even took the post of marshal of the Sandao Concert and went to the king to be a prince who was idle at home.

But just a month ago, the Fenglin Empire and the Tianxuan Empire on the side formed a coalition army, totaling 800,000 people, known as a million army, to attack the northern border of Dongqian.

The smoke has risen again, and the frontier is in an emergency.

Emperor Dongqian immediately issued an order to let Xiao Yuan, who had been idle for three years, go out with the Qianyu army, and lead 500,000 troops in the north of Dongqian to rely on the favorable terrain of the city fortress to resist the combined forces of Fenglin and Tianxuan.

A mink cloak was draped on Xiao Yuan's shoulders without warning.

"It's windy outside, so let's go and rest by the fire in the tent. Behind Xiao Yuan, a young man who put on Xiao Yuan's cloak said in a calm tone.

This young man was about seven feet tall, in the Qianyu military camp but did not wear battle armor, he looked a little thin in a green coat, and his face was as white as a beautiful jade, like a scholar who danced and wrote ink.

Seeing the young man who appeared beside him, Xiao Yuan's resolute face softened a little, reached out and took off the cloak he had just put on, and draped it on the young man's shoulder, "Lin'er, you are weak, go back to the tent to rest, for my father, I have been crisscrossing the northern Xinjiang for more than ten years, what kind of wind and snow have I never seen?"

The young man's name is Xiao Lin, Xiao Yuan's only son, the commander of the Qianyu Army's personal guard battalion, and the young marshal of Qianyu, who is twenty or four years old.

"I came here because I wanted to discuss some things with my father. Xiao Lin said.

"Between you and me, father and son, just say whatever you want to say. ”

"On the march in the past few days, I thought about it carefully, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this time the two countries of Fenglin Tianxuan came to attack, and it was a little strange. The young man said in a flat tone.

"Weird?" Xiao Yuan frowned slightly.

"My Dongqian and Fenglin Tianxuan have been a hundred-year-old feud, and it is common for each other to have conquests, how can there be anything strange?"

"There are three strange things, one of them, since the new emperor ascended the throne, my Dongqian issued new policies, implemented new regulations, and the prestige was stronger every year. This is the time of day. ”

Xiao Yuan nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty has purged the dynasty, and the government and the opposition have a new atmosphere, and the national strength of my Dongqian is indeed much stronger than before." ”

When the new emperor of Dongqian was still the prince, he was close friends with Xiao Yuan, although Duan Ming had ascended the throne and respected the Ninth Five, but Xiao Yuan was a minister with a bright face and a brother in secret.

If it weren't for Xiao Yuan's relationship with the new emperor, with Xiao Yuan's current strength, he wouldn't have to condescend to Dongqian, on the mainland, there was still an empire several times the territory of Dongqian, and Xiao Yuan's strength would be entrusted to reuse even if he was in that huge empire.

"Second, there are countless mountains and mountains in my eastern and northern Xinjiang, and there are very few places to march, and there are dangerous passes at all the intersections where the army can pass, just say that the border pass is out of the clouds, and it has been as high as 60 zhang under the reinforcement of my father, and it is eight zhang thick, and there are countless deep ditch traps under the city, and there are thousands of crossbow machines in the city, even if the defenders are only 10,000, it is enough to resist 100,000 enemies. This is a geographical advantage. ”

"And the most important thing is that thirdly, the northern border is the place where the Eastern Qian's wars are most frequent, with a garrison of 500,000 troops, complete armor, and sufficient grain and grass. Father, you have been crisscrossing the northern frontier for more than ten years, attacking and conquering, and the soldiers in the north have basically not fought any defeats under your command for more than ten years, although you have been away from the army for three years, the morale of the army is still like a tiger, the army is like a dragon, and the enemy will strive to take the lead. This is for people and. Xiao Lin continued.

"In this battle, my Dongqian occupies all the time, location, and people, and any battle-hardened general can see that my Dongqian has a great chance of winning in this battle, let's just say father, your old opponent, Qin Ming, the general of the Fenglin Empire, he is also a battle-hardened handsome, how can he not understand the truth? But they still sent troops, doesn't my father think it is strange?"

Xiao Yuan thought for a moment, what Xiao Lin said was indeed reasonable.

He has been fighting with Qin Ming on the battlefield for more than ten years, although he has repeatedly gained the upper hand, but he also knows very well that this Qin Ming is indeed a rare handsome talent, otherwise Qin Ming would not have been able to capture the northern border of Dongqian seventeen years ago, and he would not have been able to fight under the capital of Dongqian Emperor.

It can only be blamed that Qin Ming was born at the wrong time and met Xiao Yuan, a general who has not been seen for a hundred years, otherwise he might really be able to destroy Dongqian seventeen years ago, even if he can't be destroyed, at least he can be hit hard.

"Repair. Xiao Yuan, who was in deep thought, suddenly shouted.

"The hosts. ”

A black-robed warrior wearing a hood suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yuan and knelt down respectfully.

The silver mask on his face was ghostly.

Shadow Attendant!

Xiao Yuan's most trusted guard, a dead soldier who is only loyal to Xiao Yuan, is good at the art of concealment, no one knows how many shadow servants there are around Xiao Yuan, but everyone knows that the shadow servants are terrible.

"Quickly send the order to the three generals and ten commanders, set off the whole army in half an hour, give up the grain and grass they are carrying, and go to Izumo Pass overnight, before dawn, I want me to fly the king flag above Izumo Pass side by side!" Xiao Yuan ordered Xiu.

Xiao Yuan never drags his feet in his work, and once he makes up his mind, he is resolute.

"Yes. Xiu lowered his head, his voice was a little hoarse, and then disappeared in front of Xiao Yuan and Xiao Lin in an instant.

"Father thought of something possible?" Seeing Xiao Yuan's action, Xiao Lin beside him asked.

Xiao Yuan shook his head, "Father can't guess what Feng Lin and Tianxuan are doing. It was precisely because I couldn't guess that I had to rush to Izumo Pass quickly, and I could only feel at ease if I was in Izumo myself. ”

Xiao Lin nodded, this is indeed the safest countermeasure now, there must be a conspiracy between the two empires of Fenglin Tianxuan to send troops this time, and Xiao Yuan personally sits in Izumo Pass, which is always the safest way.

Xiongguan Izumo has Xiao Yuan personally guarding it, even if 800,000 enemy troops fight with all their might, they can't make any big waves.

"Lin'er, you should hurry back to the account and prepare, we have to hurry up to Izumo Pass. ”
