Zuo Xiaowei's speed of march was not fast, but because the military situation was like fire, the army marched forcibly for six hours a day, and marched a hundred miles a day.

The army first assembled in Xingzhou. After all the troops and horses arrived, they were on their way to the front line.

The left and right Xiaowei, as the vanguard troops, marched very fast, and after a month of forced march, they finally reached Xingzhou.

The army directly entered Xingzhou City and stationed there, but the other troops did not have this treatment.

Both the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry and the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry were stationed outside the city. The same is true of the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou and Jinzhou.

After entering the city, the left and right guards began to rest. Xiao Jingxuan's third team was also allocated two places out of the camp.

Xiao Jingxuan didn't have any money in his hands, and he didn't need to buy anything, so Qin Feng took the second Shishi Changwang Tie Niu out of the camp in style.

Xiao Jingxuan took the time to practice his marksmanship well on the road, and now he is stepping up his practice.

After three days, the left and right Weiwei, the right Jin Wuwei and the handsome flag arrived.

On the fourth day, the military order was issued, and the army was divided into three routes.

The first road army, led by Zhang Sheng, the general of the left Xiaowei, galloped to the aid of Lingzhou City.

The second road army, led by Lin Weiping, the general of Zuo Weiwei, Zuo Weiwei, Qingzhou Iron Cavalry, and Xuzhou Army galloped to aid Daizhou.

The Third Route Army. Xiao Yan, the military governor of Liangzhou, commanded the right guard, the Liangzhou iron cavalry, and the Jinzhou army galloped to aid Yanzhou.

The eldest son of the emperor and the right Jin Wuwei sat in Xingzhou City.

On the first day of the military order, the left and right Xiaowei began to march towards Lingzhou City.

Xingzhou is only 500 miles away from Lingzhou, and the army can reach it in five days.

However, for the sake of safety, the cavalry of the large army explored the road first.

There are 4,000 cavalry and more than 16,000 infantry on the left and right Xiaowei, of which 4,000 people from the right battalion of the right Xiaowei escort grain and grass as a rear army.

At this time, it was already on the front line, and it was naturally impossible for the army to march forcibly, but it traveled 80 miles a day and set up camp.

On the sixth day of the restart, the left and right Xiaowei came to Lingzhou City smoothly.

At this time, the situation in Lingzhou was fine. More than 20,000 troops were stationed in the city, but some of them were routed from Yinchuan.

As soon as Zhang Sheng arrived in Lingzhou, he entered the Taishou Mansion in the city and took over the military power in the city.

The barbarians had attacked Lingzhou several times before, but they had all returned in vain. Now, the barbarians only left 6,000 rangers outside Lingzhou City to watch, but they never launched an attack again.

The location of Lingju City is northwest, and even if Lingju City is captured, there are still cities such as Wonju and Gyeongju behind it. Unlike Daizhou, Yanzhou. Behind him is a horse Pingchuan.

However, correspondingly, Daizhou, Yanzhou, the city is high and the walls are thick. And there are quite a lot of garrisons themselves.

In the face of the current situation, Zhang Sheng did not want to relax, and first assigned the four rates of Zuo Xiaowei's left battalion to the four city walls to garrison. Replace the original garrison and let them rest.

At the same time, let the cavalry of the middle battalion of the right guard maintain order in the city.

Xiao Jingxuan's unit was stationed in Beicheng. General Dingyuan divided the second rate into two shifts, and one outpost was worth three hours.

Xiao Jingxuan's left post is on duty in the first shift, and Xiao Jingxuan, as the deputy of the team, does not need to stand guard, but follows Qin Feng to patrol the defense area.

Among the twelve guards, soldiers generally wear cotton armor, while Xiao Jingxuan, as an officer, wears iron armor.

The cotton armor is okay, only a dozen catties in weight, and the iron armor is more than 20 and nearly 30 catties.

Standing guard is actually very boring, and the weather is a little hot now, but all the soldiers on duty still have to wear battle armor, which is boring and tiring.

This kind of boring day lasted for half a month, and on this morning, Xiao Jingxuan was on duty on the city wall, and suddenly, he saw a large puff of smoke and dust in the distance.

This made Xiao Jingxuan very surprised, and hurriedly reminded Qin Feng on the side.

Qin Feng looked into the distance for a while. Then he said: "Quick, beat the drums, there is an enemy attack." ”

As the drums sounded, the entire Lingzhou City began to get nervous.

At the north gate where Xiao Jingxuan was located, the soldiers of the second rate all arrived at their posts regardless of whether they were resting or not. Immediately after, rows of archers and shield soldiers appeared behind Xiao Jingxuan.

After a while, Zhang Sheng, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, took more than a dozen generals and personal soldiers to the north gate tower to observe the enemy's situation.

Xiao Jingxuan has a humble position, but he can't hear the generals' discussions.

However, looking at the barbarian rangers getting closer and closer in the distance, Xiao Jingxuan's heart became more and more surprised.

Especially seeing the cavalry protruding from both sides, Xiao Jingxuan knew that this was planning to surround Lingzhou.

Qin Feng, who was on the side, turned pale and said to Xiao Jingxuan: "Look, it's the Barbarian Khan Tent Golden Wolf Banner, this is the Guards Iron Army of the Hutu Khan Department." ”

Xiao Jingxuan followed Qin Feng's fingers and looked into the distance. He asked, "My lord, does this mean anything?" ”

Qin Feng smiled bitterly: "This shows that it is the main force of the barbarian race, and you look at the dust raised here, there are no less than 200,000 people." ”

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Xiao Jingxuan was surprised and said: "Two hundred thousand, no, the intelligence doesn't say that the barbarians have sent a total of 300,000 troops, if we have 200,000 here, then Daizhou and Yanzhou are suspicious soldiers, but didn't the military reports from the first few times say that the battle was fierce?" ”

Qin Feng was stunned, thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but there are definitely no less than 150,000 in front of me, and the specifics will only be known when the scouts have seen it." ”

Soon, the barbarian troops soon rushed to the city of Lingzhou. I saw that a horse in the barbarian army soon rushed out, shot an arrow at the north gate tower, and then turned his horse back to the queue.

Soon, the barbarian army retreated fifteen miles and set up camp.

Xiao Jingxuan was standing in the city tower at this time, so he clearly saw a letter tied to the bow and arrow.

At such a distance, you can shoot a bow and arrow into the city tower, and you can get three points into the wood, and you have good arm strength.

Soon, the generals from all walks of life went down the city tower and returned to the Taishou Mansion to discuss matters.

Xiao Jingxuan's left post was supposed to change the guard and rest, but now, without an order, he didn't dare to go down without permission, so he could only continue to stay at the city wall.

In the afternoon, the military order was issued, Zuo Xiaowei went down to the city tower, and the city wall was temporarily taken over by the Lingzhou army.

Although this decision made the Lingzhou army complain, the military order was like a mountain. There is no way to change it.

The next day, without waiting for the defenders to reply, the barbarians began to attack Lingzhou.

Xiao Jingxuan was resting in Beicheng at this time, although he didn't see the battle situation, but watching Minzhuang continuously carry down the wounded soldiers from the city tower, he could know the fierceness of the battle.

On the fourth day of the barbarian attack, Zuo Xiaowei officially appeared. The Lingzhou Army, which suffered heavy losses, was replaced. However, at this time, it was not only the left battalion of the left Xiaowei who was on the field, but the right battalion was also on the field at the same time.

Due to the defensive warfare, the spearmen were not very useful, except for a few spearmen, most of the remaining soldiers were equipped with shields, waist knives and bows.

Xiao Jingxuan tried the bow and arrow in his hand, and it was not bad, much better than a hunting bow.

When he arrived, the barbarians attacked, and looking at the enemy army like a tide, Xiao Jingxuan swallowed his saliva.

At this time, Beichenglou was the focus of the enemy's attack, and Yu Wenhuai, the general of the left battalion of Zuo Xiaowei, was personally in charge.

After seeing that the barbarians were within range of the bow and arrow, Yu Wenhuai ordered the archers to shoot.

After receiving the order from the herald, Xiao Jingxuan began to shoot at the barbarians.

It may be that he just started using this kind of bow and arrow, and the first two arrows, Xiao Jingxuan didn't gain anything.

But as Xiao Jingxuan became more and more familiar with bows and arrows, Xiao Jingxuan's bow and arrow took away the life of a barbarian.

After Xiao Jingxuan finished shooting the fifteen arrows in the quiver, Xiao Jingxuan's results were also discovered by Qin Feng.

Qin Feng happily patted Xiao Jingxuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, I didn't expect your arrows to shoot so accurately, amazing." ”

After speaking, he handed over the unfinished feather arrow on his body to Xiao Jingxuan, and at the same time. He went to the corner of the city wall and took two spare quivers and handed them to Xiao Jingxuan.

You know, archery is an extreme test of arm strength. The average person shoots twenty arrows and has to rest for a while. And where does Xiao Jingxuan have a martial arts foundation, he shot fifty arrows in a row, if it weren't for the broken bow, Xiao Jingxuan would still be able to continue.

Xiao Jingxuan's results were soon seen by Hu Tieshan, the second leader of the army, and when he saw that Xiao Jingxuan's bow was broken, he ordered his own soldiers to send Xiao Jingxuan a three-dan bow.

After shaking the newly arrived bow in his hand, Xiao Jingxuan picked up the feather arrow and tried firing it a few more times, which was not bad.

However, one Xiao Jingxuan could not change the tide of battle, and as the enemy attacked the city wall, the archers were no longer useful.

Hand-to-hand combat began. Xiao Jingxuan put down the bow and arrow in his hand, pulled out his waist knife, and began to slash and kill the soldiers who attacked the city wall.

The fierce battle continued until the afternoon, when the battle ended as the barbarians withdrew their troops.

It was this battle that made Zuo Xiaowei's face dull. Because a few days ago, when the Lingzhou army was defending the city, it had not yet let the enemy attack the city tower.

But today is the first day of Zuo Xiaowei's defense, and the enemy has attacked the city tower, if it weren't for the final, Yu Wenhuai dispatched his own guards, I'm afraid the battle situation is really hard to say.

However, although Zuo Xiaowei is the elite of the world, because he has been defending the Beijing division all the year round, he has not participated in any major battles, and his current performance is not bad.

With the retreat of the enemy, Xiao Jingxuan began to squat on the ground and vomit, damn, there was no time to vomit at first, but with the retreat of the enemy, Xiao Jingxuan, who was relieved, couldn't hold back anymore.

Of course, Xiao Jingxuan is not alone, and among the ten people who are alive now, at least half are vomiting.

As the people transported the wounded soldiers and corpses, the entire tower was reduced by almost half.

The battle was too fierce.
