Long cement road.

Feng Chong led his cavalry, either scattered or gathered to guard.

this day. Feng Chong ordered three thousand cavalry to camp on a flat land. Cavalry, unlike infantry, needed forage for war horses.

But you can't just eat grass, you have to feed soybeans and eggs.

It's cold now. Horses also consume a lot and eat an astonishing amount of food. Fortunately. The grain routes of the Han Dynasty were smooth and there was no shortage of supplies.

Inside the big tent. Feng Chong sat on the handsome seat, and in front of him were three thousand households. The four of them were discussing things. Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the tent.

Soon after, an Ouchi guard walked in from outside, holding a holy decree.

Seeing this, Feng Chong and the four knelt down to accept the order. After thanking him, Feng Chong showed joy, his hands were crossed on his waist, his chest was protruding, and he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Hahaha." When it matters, you still have to look at me. ”

"The king is really wise. No one else can do this except me. ”

Unlike Feng Chong, who was full of interest, the three thousand households all showed worried expressions.

"General. We are all cavalry. Although it is possible to quickly march to Di Cheng. But how to siege the city. If we run out of food, how do we get it? ”

"It's not a good job." A thousand households said.

"What are you afraid of. When things are at the worst they will mend. I'm going to decide on this city. Hum. Feng Chong glared at Qianhu when he heard this, then rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Pass the order." Cavalry assembled. We have three horses. ”

"A horse rides."

"A horse with rations."

"A horse with a baggage."

"There is no turning back from the bow. But you have to bring enough food. That's right, let the soldiers binge. Feed more fatty meat. ”

"Yes." Although the three thousand households are worried, they are not afraid of death. Hearing this, he turned around and went down to prepare.

"The war to destroy the country. I'll sing the lead role. Hahaha. Feng Chong was excited and laughed.

Three days later. After Feng Chong made full preparations, he led the cavalry of ten thousand households under his command. Of these, 5,000 heavy cavalry and 5,000 light cavalry.

With enough baggage, grain and grass, taking advantage of the dark night, I chose a remote route that had been planned in advance. They operate exclusively at night and set up camp during the day.

Although the Songnen Plain is the hinterland of Mengyuan, it is vast and sparsely populated.

In addition, the Han army went out day and night, and it was taking a remote route, and the marching spirit was unaware. The problem, on the contrary, is to climb over the mountains and mountains.

The land of Mengyuan was sublime mountains and cut into three large plains. Now in autumn and winter, there is heavy snow on the mountain.

A secluded road is secluded, but it is secluded because it is difficult to walk.

Feng Chong's army of 10,000 households, after paying a lot of sacrifices, reached the vicinity of Dicheng with difficulty.

Morning. The wind was bitterly cold and howling.

Under the snow-capped mountains, Feng Chong rode a war horse, looked at the plain ahead, and then glanced back at the lofty mountains and mountains behind, revealing a palpitating look.

Although he came, he didn't want to go again.

It's thrilling.

But. The sinister is over. Exciting times are just around the corner.

"Call the thousands of households." Feng Chong turned over and dismounted, and ordered his own soldiers. Immediately, the soldiers used cloth to circle a boxy [encirclement] to block the wind and cold.

Feng Chong sat on the small bench and waited.

There were ten benches in front of him.

After a while, the thousand households entered the enclosure, bowed, and sat down.

"This place is only ten miles away from Di City. The cavalry was coming in an instant. There are three things. ”

"Find a secluded place with a water source today, and set up camp."

"Ladders and food."

After Feng Chong finished speaking, three fingers stood up on his right hand. Then he looked up and said to the two thousand households: "Zhang Ping, Li Helmet." You lead your light cavalry and go to the vicinity to find the Mengyuan tribe. Coercion, intimidation, or massacre. ”

"I don't care what means you use. Get the food. ”

"Yes." Zhang Ping and Li Helmet did not hesitate, and they should hold their fists.

"Qian Yong, Meng Ta. You lead the light cavalry under your command. Go to the mountains and cut down trees. According to the intelligence, Di Cheng is one foot eight tall. Make a ladder. ”

"This time it's a cavalry siege. There are no heavy siege equipment. ”

"There is no way forward, and there is no way back. No matter how much food you muster, it is not enough. It's a dead land. ”

"The only way out is to attack Di Cheng."

"All of you. All with the determination to die here. ”

"Everyone."

After saying that, Feng Chong stood up, his hands crossed his waist, the essence of the tiger's eyes flickered, and his face showed a rare serious look, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." The thousand households took a deep breath, and then everyone stood up resolutely and bowed down.

How can a soldier be afraid of death?

It is even more honorable to be a soldier of the Han Dynasty.

This is a war to destroy the country.

It is even more sacred.

Die.

also want to take Di Cheng and take the lead.

Feng Chong smiled with satisfaction and let them go down. Soon after, the army split up. Feng Chong led the main force and found a place to set up camp.

A day and a night passed.

Early the next morning. Feng Chong led the cavalry under his command and slaughtered towards Di Cheng, ten miles away.

.............

Di Cheng.

The westernmost city of Mengyuan.

It guards a great avenue called Didao. This road connects the Slavs and the Mongol Yuan. It is not the only road, but the only road where it is possible to march on a large scale and transport baggage.

Occupying this city basically held the western part of the empire.

This road is also a trade route between the two countries.

It's just that now it's snowing heavily, and the dripping water is turning into ice. No merchant acts at this time. Therefore, on the road, there are few figures.

In the past, Dicheng was a city guarded by tens of thousands of people. Now that the Slavic and Mongol Yuan are allied, the Mongol Yuan will also face the attack of the Han State in the south.

The situation has changed dramatically. But Haida still put 5,000 households to guard Di City.

One. The Slavs had to be defensive.

Two. You also have to guard against the Han army's sneak attack on Dicheng.

That is, the existence of this city is remembered by people. As the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent a thief.

Now the war between the Mengyuan and the Han army is focused on the cement road.

If Meng Yuan is mostly breached, then there is no point in holding Di City.

It's been a long time. Di Cheng's defense was much more relaxed.

After all. Although Mengyuan is a fighting nation, it has strong combat effectiveness. But military discipline depends on luck. A good general's soldiers, military discipline is better.

The soldiers of bad generals have poor military discipline.

Di Cheng's five garrison generals, so-so.

Morning.

The gates of the city were closed on all sides. There were soldiers standing guard and patrolling the city, but there were not many of them. In the barracks under the city, many soldiers were warming themselves by fires in their houses.

It's too cold. The grill is so cool.

City. Five warriors. Two of them were drunk last night and are still asleep.

One of the generals was sick and half dead.

Only two generals got up early in the morning, and then did not lead troops to inspect the city wall, but hid in their mansions and kept warm on the kang.

It's been a big winter, it's really cold.
