At this time, the autumn mood in Mobei is almost very strong, different from the cold and surging wind in the south of the Yangtze River, and the climate of Mobei also has a bit of the rough atmosphere of the desert grassland. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The north wind howled and rolled up the dust and grass clippings in the sky, slapping on the armor of the sergeant and making a thumping sound, and the soldiers guarding outside the camp gate took advantage of the fact that the patrol commander did not pay attention, and quickly rubbed his hands and jumped a few times, the weather is getting more and more difficult, if it snows heavily, this day is simply impossible to live.

There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, which shattered the tranquility of autumn, followed by the majestic scene of thousands of horses galloping, and the sand and dust floating in the air, like a legendary golden dragon, tumbling and rolling towards the direction of the camp.

The knights covered their mouths and noses with sackcloth, but they still couldn't stop the dust from flying into their clothes, but at this time, few people bothered about these anymore, and after a bloody battle with the Hu people all afternoon, what they hoped for most now was a sip of ** liquor and a warm tent.

The knights, covered in blood and even wounded, remained silent, and divided into two groups and went around the back of the camp, where large pieces of meat and a jar of wine awaited them, for this group of brave and fearless elites, the girder had never spared it.

Chu Mad did not cover his mouth and nose with a sackcloth, although his face was full of exhaustion, but his waist was still straight, he was the leader and faith of this army, the soul of the invincible Yongzhou Iron Cavalry in the northwest, he could not relax at any time.

Turning over and dismounting, Chu ran towards the camp where Emperor Liang was located without resting, His Majesty has become more and more anxious recently, and today's results are limited, I don't know if I will be punished again.

Emperor Liang looked at Chu Mad who was kneeling on the side with a cold face, and behind him was a huge military map of Mobei, slapped the table case violently, and said angrily: "It's like this again, you lost a large number of soldiers but told me that I didn't take it down, you don't want to explain it to me, you should think about how to explain it to the people of Daliang!"

Chu Mad lowered his head and was silent, unable to hide his exhaustion and helplessness, and sighed softly for a long time.

Li Ling looked at Chu Mad, shook his head but did not speak, Emperor Liang under his anger could not listen to any dissenting opinions.

The original commander-in-chief of the Mobei front, who retreated behind the scenes because of Emperor Liang's imperial expedition, stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's no wonder that General Chu, Luomapo is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Hu generals are also famous generals. ”

Emperor Liang's eyes widened, and he pushed down all the folds on the table, and said angrily: "Wait, wait, I can wait, can I wait for this weather? Can the people of Liang wait? At the beginning, I personally promised that there would be a big victory before the New Year!"

Prince Cheng sighed lightly, bent down to pick up the fold on the ground and gently patted the dust on it, and sighed: "Now Daliang has laid ninety percent of the Hulunge grassland, but no one thought that the bones of the Hu people would be so hard before, and they even defended the Luoma Slope regardless of the casualties, and now the Hu people are also suffering heavy casualties, and they can't hold on for a few days, Your Majesty, we can afford it." ”

Emperor Liang calmed down his anger, sat down slowly, waved his hand to make Chu Mad stand up, and asked softly: "How is the damage of the Great Liang army today, and what are the results?"

Chu Mad glanced at Prince Cheng gratefully, and said in a deep voice: "The Hu people have gathered a large number of archers in Luomapo, relying on the terrain to increase their power, and the deployment of the last general has lost more than 2,000, and eighty percent of them have been wounded by arrows. There are only more than 1,000 enemies killed. ”

said that it is already difficult to hide the grief and indignation, these Yongzhou soldiers are all brought out by themselves, from the neat appearance of the army to the current camp of wounded soldiers, the old bottom he saved in Yongzhou is squandered most of this time, if you want to recover, it is not a year and a half of work.

Emperor Liang's face also twitched a few times, losing thousands of dollars every time, and in the past month, he has unknowingly lost tens of thousands of people, and they are all elites, even if they win, they are still miserable.

Now Emperor Liang can't help but regret being too confident, and has been thinking about a big victory in a dignified manner, but he didn't expect that seeing that the Northern Expedition was about to win a big victory, the Hu people actually sent a large number of archers to play scoundrels by taking advantage of the terrain, and they dragged on for a month.

Most of the elite of Yongzhou to which Chu Mad belonged were foreigners near Yongzhou, and although they were seriously injured, Emperor Liang was only distressed, frowning and asking, "Are the Hu people crazy? Could it be that all the elite archers have been transferred to Luomapo?"

Prince Cheng said softly: "The general of Luomapo is the descendant of the previous generation of the military god of the Hu people, named Jinggong, and he is a rare master of the eight grades who is good at bows and arrows in the world, and he is surrounded by five thousand soldiers of his own tribe, all of whom are first-class marksmen, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the elite of the Hu people." ”

Emperor Liang's face was gloomy, as if he remembered something, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "How did the Hu people get so many bows and arrows?"

Prince Cheng hesitated for a moment and said softly: "It should be the result of the exchange of ordnance between the Liang and the Hu people a few days ago, but Chu Shangshu said that these bows and arrows were not reported to the Ministry of War, and they were the result of the Zhang family's private transaction with the Hu people, and the specific handling should be the Zhang family's Hebisheng firm." ”

Emperor Liang's face was even more gloomy, he turned a blind eye to these things, but such a large number of sophisticated bows and crossbows were sold to the Hu people, if they were spread to the capital, I don't know what kind of waves they would make, and he said in a gloomy tone: "A few days ago, I heard that the Zhang family led pirates into the city to kill people, but fortunately, Chu Nan took action to save the witnesses found by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it seems that the Zhang family is getting more and more bold, and they should have pulled all the people of the Zhang family to the front line." ”

Prince Cheng Li Cheng looked at Emperor Liang's expression, and said carefully: "Jian Rong sent another secret letter, the Zhang family secretly executed the king of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and also sent someone to assassinate the fifth young master of the Chu family. ”

Emperor Liang looked at Prince Cheng gloomily, and said slowly: "Tell Jian Rong, don't worry about killing when it's time to kill, teach the Zhang family a lesson first, and wait for me to free up my hands, sooner or later I will clean up these gate valves who don't know the current affairs!"

Chu was frightened and shocked, shocked by Emperor Liang's murderous words, thinking of the Chu family, and feeling that Emperor Liang's eyes were looking at him, he hurriedly lowered his head and was silent.

At this time, there was a shouting and scolding in the distance, and it was those Hu people who were not afraid of death who were provoking and insulting outside the camp, Emperor Liang stood up, quietly listened to those scoldings, and ordered lightly: "Before the fall, launch another wave of offensive, if you can't attack within five days, I will personally go into battle to supervise the battle!"

As a result, the Daliang military camp was excited, and the surging blood made Qiu Yue hot.

After the war, there were countless dry bones and rivers of blood.

The scene of thousands of horses galloping in Mobei naturally could not appear in the south of the Yangtze River, but the appearance of three hundred elite soldiers on the streets of Hangzhou still shocked everyone, looking at Zhang Pu who was arrogant in front of the team, and looking at the whispers and pointing of people on the street, Yang Lin was surprised: "The Zhang family dares to raise private soldiers, it's too bold." ”

Wang Defu shook his head lightly and said: "Back then, the Zhang family asked for Zhao'an, gave up the hereditary position of the national prince, and only asked to keep these three hundred private soldiers for self-protection and self-defense. ”

Chu Nan looked at the team that gradually disappeared at the end of the street, and muttered: "It seems that God also thinks that Jiangnan has been calm for too long, and he also wants Jiangnan to bleed like a river once." ”

In the distance, on the horizon, the sky is full of sunset, red like blood.
