On the edge of Luozhou in the Central Plains, Guancheng.

Guancheng is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains and the northwest of the only way, in the past in the Central Plains and the northwest traffic has not been interrupted, Guancheng is also because of the connection between the Central Plains and the northwest, business travel, trade prosperous, is regarded as a first-class border town.

Moreover, because this place is close to the northwest, in order to prevent turmoil in the northwest borderland, the imperial court has set up an elite and strong army in Guancheng.

The purpose is very clear, if there is a change in the northwest, the army can immediately set out from Guancheng, through the day of the Xiongguan in the northwest, and quickly enter the northwest to suppress the rebellion.

Merely.

At this time, as the Beizhou Xu clan successfully mastered the four Xiongguan of the world, completely cutting off the connection between the Central Plains Dynasty and the northwest, the tens of thousands of troops stationed in Guancheng were useless.

Moreover, what is even more embarrassing is that the emperor of the Great Qi Empire has just ordered that the tens of thousands of elite officers and soldiers stationed in Guancheng be transferred out of here and go to Zhongzhou to defend Kyoto.

Dang Hongyun, the general of the Great Qi Empire, actually gave birth to a heart of disobedience, he was originally responsible for guarding the capital of the Great Qi Empire, but he actually raised troops to rebel, relying on his fine preparation and huge prestige, in just one month, he occupied the vast area near Luodu, and cut off the connection between Guancheng and the capital of the Great Qi Empire.

It is also for this reason that the tens of thousands of Great Qi Empire troops stationed in Guancheng suddenly turned into rootless water, duckweed in troubled times.

To the west of them is the northwest land controlled by the Xu clan of Beizhou, and to the east is the land of Luozhou controlled by the generals of the Great Qi Empire, which can be described as enemies on both sides.

The attitude towards Guancheng in the Northwest is still unknown, but the general Dang Hongyun is very greedy, and wants to hold the tens of thousands of elite officials and soldiers of the Great Qi Empire in Guancheng, and has used all kinds of means.

It's just that this general Dang Hongyun is very stingy, and he just wants to get the elite of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, but he is stingy with his official position.

……

……

this day.

Early morning.

As soon as the sun rose above the horizon, the soldiers in charge of the guard tower above the gate struck the gong in their hands frantically:

He's on warning!!

Hearing the sound of the gong, the soldiers, who were still a little listless, quickly cheered up and ran towards the city to strengthen their vigilance, and saw a boundless army rushing towards this side along the official road in the west.

From a distance, it looks like a giant earth dragon meandering and crawling, roaring wildly.

When this army got closer, the soldiers above the gate couldn't help but hold the weapons in their hands fiercely and became nervous.

This army was unlike any of the Great Qi Empire armies they had seen.

First of all, this army is all cavalry, there is no infantry, and those horses are also high-headed horses, at a glance it is known that they are really good horses, and even most of them may be more northern barbarian steppe tribes, and those knights are dressed up, which makes the soldiers above Guancheng look blushing:

They were uniformly equipped, with cowhide boots on their feet, armor, hard helmets on their heads, spears in their hands, broadswords at their waists, and bows and arrows on their shoulders.

These soldiers in Guancheng are also considered to be the elite of the officers and soldiers of the Great Qi Empire, not without knowledge, not to mention the combat power of the army in front of them, just this piece of equipment makes them feel pressure.

Knock knock knock!

Knock knock knock!

At this time, the war drums rang out from the opposing army, like a subwoofer, and beat the hearts of the soldiers above the city.

A tall flag was erected and fluttered in the wind, with a big "Xu" written on it.

Beizhou Xu's!

At this time, all the soldiers invariably recited these four words, although their level was not high, but they also knew that this northwest land had long been separated from the territory of the Great Qi Empire, and now belonged to the rule of the Xu clan in Beizhou.

Merely. They didn't expect that the Xu clan in Beizhou was so aggressive, and in the autumn of last year, they had just barely mastered the Northwest Land, and now before the year came, they actually went out of the Central Plains and wanted to conquer the world.

On the top of the guard tower, the soldier in charge of the guard was still frantically beating the gong in his hand, indicating that danger was coming and there were soldiers pressing the border.

Da-da-da-da!

A general wrapped in armor walked up to the city wall, he looked around, began to observe the Beizhou Xu army under the city, and after a while, he suddenly sighed:

"It's really a strong army in the world.

"With this momentum alone, there are few armies in the world that can compare with this."

In the eyes of this general, the army of the Xu clan in Beizhou is majestic and majestic, and more importantly, this army has a strict order, at this time docked under the city of Guancheng, he can not hear any other sound except for the impatient cries of some war horses, the whole army is silent and serious, showing strong discipline.

In his impression, the army with this kind of discipline is generally the strongest army among the strong armies.

Moreover, the equipment of the Xu clan in Beizhou is really good, look at those high-headed horses, all of them are extremely handsome, to be honest, although he also has tens of thousands of troops and a thousand cavalry, but he can't even take out a hundred good horses of this level.

And the Xu army on the other side, just counting them like this, is tens of thousands of excellent war horses, and as for the equipment of those soldiers, he is even more greedy:

"Good guy, even when the imperial court was at its strongest, the treatment of those central forbidden troops was nothing more than that, right?"

This general had also fought in the General War, and his knowledge was extraordinary, and he immediately noticed that this Beizhou Xu army was not easy to mess with.

However, the general was not panicked at all, because he had already taken a countermeasure, and immediately ordered:

"Open the gates, lay down your weapons, and the armies will surrender with me."

When the generals next to him heard this order, they were immediately stunned, although these people also felt that the Beizhou Xu army in front of them was very powerful, and they couldn't fight it, but they still had tens of thousands of troops in their hands now, and they also occupied Guancheng completely, even if the Beizhou Xu army really wanted to eat them, I am afraid it would take some effort.

So, don't you really fight with the other party first and test the opponent's strength? If you surrender directly without saying a word now, will it make the chief officer of the Xu family in Beizhou look down on you? When they take refuge in the past, will they not be reused?

However, the commander of the Seki army, who was wrapped in armor, had already had an idea.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that the general who occupied Leluodu was too stingy, and only thought about the army in their hands and refused to give them a high position, he would have surrendered to the general Dang Hongyun a long time ago.

It's just that the other party is too stingy.

and also secretly used some bad methods, and even assassinated him, and the relationship between the two sides has long been stiff.

Now, the army of the Xu clan in Beizhou has come and looks stronger than the army in the hands of the general, he simply surrendered directly, he has offended Luodu, and then offended the Xu clan, can this still live?

As for why he didn't fight with the other party, he also had considerations, for the Beizhou Xu family, his side surrendered without a battle, and brought tens of thousands of troops, this kind of sincerity is enough, and I believe it will be more accepted by the Northwest Military Group.

The elite of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in this Guancheng is now rootless water, what to fight? Do you take the head?

If you hit one, you'll have one less.

……

……

Two quarters of an hour later.

The general of the Guancheng official army rode a horse, took two cronies, and went straight to the camp of the Xu army in Beizhou, explained his willingness to surrender, and successfully entered the Chinese army tent of the Xu army.

Then, the general saw an old acquaintance of his, an old boss, who looked at the former commander of the Northwest Frontier Army, General Wang Shijing, looked confused, and asked in a low voice:

"General, why are you here?"

Wang Shijing was also stunned for a moment, and then laughed:

"Qin Hong, it turned out to be you."

He didn't expect that this general stationed in Guancheng was also a former subordinate of his cronies, his originally somewhat serious face immediately softened, stepped forward and pulled Qin Hong to sit down, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Since it's you, I won't say anything superfluous, and immediately return to the city to gather the men and horses under your command, and march with me to the Central Plains."

After Gu Jin finished saying this, he sighed again:

"Although this Guancheng is good, but now it is like a pool of stagnant water, with your talent, let you be stationed here, it is a bit condescending, it is better to march into the Central Plains with me and make contributions."

Qin Hong is a close confidant of the former commander of the Northwest Frontier Army, but it is a talent he cultivated before entering the Northwest Land, and now he has not seen it for many years.

Otherwise, the Emperor of Great Qi would not have sent him to garrison Guancheng, although this Guancheng is now a pool of stagnant water, between the northwest and Luozhou, both sides are not pleased, but in the past, it is also an important town, which shows the status of the official generals of this Guancheng.

Since it is a talent, General Wang Shijing will naturally not bury it, now is a good time for the Beizhou Xu clan to attack the Central Plains, as long as it can keep up with this tide and make contributions, it will be today, if you miss this opportunity, many people will regret it.

Qin Hong used to be his cronies, so you might as well take him and give him a chance to display his ambitions.

Qin Hong was still a little confused, and asked in a low voice:

"General, when did you join the Beizhou Xu clan?"

In fact, the information of the Northwest Land had long been put on the table of the Emperor of the Great Qi Empire, but the governor of the Northwest Land, the commander of the border army and his son-in-law Qin Shuisu all surrendered to the Xu family in Beizhou.

Yes, Qin Hong didn't know that his old boss had returned to the Xu family in Beizhou.

General Wang Shijing did not explain anything about this, but said:

"The Beizhou Xu clan is the luck of the world, and it will definitely become a true dragon, and I choose to assist, but it is just to comply with the destiny of heaven."

He said to Qin Hong again:

"In fact, what you think in your heart now, I can probably guess clearly, it's nothing more than that there is no room for choice, so I want to persuade you, since you have decided to submit to the Xu family, don't think about betrayal, two-faced, this time to march into the Central Plains, you can use as much ability as you want, as long as you make great contributions, I can make a proposal to the prince of the world, and protect you as an earl......"

In the past six months, the Xu family in Beizhou can be described as a powerful soldier, without a bottom line, like the Xu army invested various resources, several gold and silver mountains smashed down, coupled with the fierce people in the northwest, there is no shortage of soldiers, and such a strong army in the world has been cultivated.

As the true commander of this army, General Wang Shijing is confident that he can sweep the world with this army in his hand and help the Beizhou Xu family to reach the highest position in the world.

When Qin Hong heard Wang Shijing's words, he immediately nodded heavily and said:

"I will live up to the trust of the general."

To be honest, he doesn't have a concept of the Beizhou Xu family now, but he believes in the old boss, since the old generals are wholeheartedly betting on the Beizhou Xu family in the future, he is naturally willing to gamble.

After the two talked for a while, Qin Hong did not be verbose, and immediately returned to Guancheng to transfer troops, leaving only a few men and horses to maintain law and order, and then led the army to follow the Xu army in Beizhou and went all the way east.

……

……

Lodu.

The companion capital of the Great Qi Empire.

In the Luodu Palace, General Dang Hongyun sat on the dragon chair, looked around, and said to the generals under his command:

"Beizhou Xu's entry into the Central Plains can be described as a myriad of weather, and now it is close to Luodu, I want to try the weight of this Beizhou Xu's family.

"General Zhang, I'm going to bother you this time."

To be honest, this general Dang Hongyun didn't put the Beizhou Xu family in his eyes before, after all, the northwest land, as the border of the Great Qi Empire, is conceptually far away from Luozhou, and all his thoughts are on how to capture Zhongzhou, occupy Kyoto, and obtain the righteousness of the world.

I really didn't expect that in just half a month, the Xu clan of Beizhou went out of the northwest of the pass, swept the Central Plains, was invincible, and attacked everything, and it had already reached the ground of Luodu.

According to the information obtained, the Xu family will set foot in Luodu at noon.

In this regard, General Dang Hongyun has also been prepared for a long time, and has already transferred an elite army to prepare for a tough fight with the Xu clan in Beizhou.

He also had to fight, on the one hand, because the Beizhou Xu clan marched into the Central Plains, and the place where he was located in Luozhou must be the place where the Beizhou Xu clan must attack, and the political significance of Luodu, as the companion capital of the Great Qi Empire, is also quite important.

In addition, although the terrain of this Luodu is dangerous, it is a beautiful place in the shape of mountains and rivers, but it also has a fatal flaw:

Luodu was built on extremely high ground, although it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but as long as it was besieged by a large army and cut off the water source, it would not take a few days for this capital of the Great Qi Empire to be defeated.

So

Since the Beizhou Xu clan has sent a large army to attack the territory of Luozhou, no matter what, he will fight with the other party and drive it out.

The Xu army in Beizhou may be very strong, but the elite of the official army he controls is not weak, so he is not afraid.

……

……

Knock knock knock!

Knock knock knock!

At noon, the Luozhou army and the Beizhou Xu army met on the bank of the Luoshui River, and the so-called narrow road met the brave wins, and the general of the Luozhou army did not say a word, and immediately issued an order to attack.

In this battle, he is sure of victory.

After all, the army of the Xu clan in Beizhou was very tired after a long journey, but he was waiting for work at ease and occupied an absolute advantage.

merely

Before the Luozhou army rushed far, a huge palm that covered the sky and the sun flew out from the side of the Beizhou Xu army, pushing sideways like a road roller, and suddenly beating the Luozhou army through it, leaving a deep ditch in the middle.

That's not all, after that palm, a sword light like a galaxy appeared on the side of the Xu army in Beizhou, and this sword light fell like raindrops, and pierced a large area of the Luozhou army.

Then there was a sound like a lion's roar from the other side, which was a sonic martial art - a lion's roar, like a magic sound pouring into the brain, and the soldiers of the Luozhou army fell a large piece again.

Then, the Beizhou Xu army, riding a tall horse, began to attack, which was simply a harvest.

Because, at this time, the Luozhou army had already collapsed, like a lamb to the slaughter, which could be cut and killed at will.

The general's face was full of grievance, and he shouted angrily:

"The Beizhou Xu clan doesn't talk about martial arts, but about martial arts."

To tell the truth, this battle is really unreasonable, it is obviously just a battle between mortal armies, but the other party has used three top masters as the vanguard, and the Luozhou army collapsed in one fell swoop, how can this be fought?

It's just no way to fight!

After the general was aggrieved, he immediately gathered his men and surrendered very happily.

Since you can't beat it, let's join it.

Subsequently, the Beizhou Xu army cleaned up the battlefield, and went towards Luodu in a mighty way, and at night, the city of Luodu was broken, and the general Dang Hongyun was defeated and committed suicide, and the Beizhou Xu clan mastered the capital of the Great Qi Empire.

……

……

Three days later.

An army of 10,000 people of the Xu clan went deep alone and came to the city of Kyoto of the Great Qi Empire when the Zhongzhou army almost did not resist.

Soldiers are coming to the city.
