Xincheng County, an ordinary county seat in Gaole County, Langya Prefecture.

Although it is on the border with Swift State, because it is far away from the state city of Langya Prefecture, and the place is relatively barren, when the Swift State army entered the country, it did not choose to go from this side.

Previously, Xia Yunfei won a big victory and repelled the attack of the Swift rebels that shook the Beijing Division, so he naturally took over the defense of Swift Prefecture, and was ordered to supervise the military of Langya Prefecture, and immediately vigorously cleaned up the defense of all the cities along the border with Swift Prefecture.

Xincheng County is naturally among them, according to the official document sent by Xia Yunfei and the guidance of the low-level officers dispatched, they first raised and compacted the simple loess wall, and then poured water, and built an ice wall first, which can at least block the rebel army in case of attack.

Then he began to organize the ordnance and train the soldiers, and the wind was in full swing.

That is to say, the imperial court really can't allocate too many manpower, materials and financial resources now, otherwise the plan to build the city wall will be put on the agenda.

Liang Bingyang, the county magistrate of Xincheng County, was a jinshi of Jinke, and soon after he arrived happily, he heard the changes in the court, and before he could panic and hurry, the throne was changed again.

Because of the relationship between the Marquis of Jianning, he has a good impression of the current imperial court, and at the same time, because of the stimulation of the Marquis of Jianning, his heart to make contributions is stronger.

Therefore, these days, Xincheng County under his leadership has almost completed all the defense instructions given by Xia Yunfei, the Marquis of Xing'an, so that the former veteran of the army who came to supervise the defense is now very relieved and relaxed.

Early this morning, Liang Bingyang still got up early in the morning, and was about to go out of the city to inspect according to the old routine, and just led the team out of the earth wall that had not yet melted the ice, he saw a large black shadow rushing from afar!

As a civilian official, Liang Bingyang had never seen such a formation, and his soul was scattered when he landed, and the veteran soldiers of the Wudang Army who were sent here to supervise the defense immediately reacted and shouted: "Enemy attack!" Return! ”

Perhaps it was the multi-day army drill that had taken effect, or perhaps it was the fairly solid rammed earth wall that gave them a little stability, when they ran back into the wall, Liang Bingyang immediately calmed down a lot, and organized the manpower in the city according to the methods practiced in these days.

The enemy army is like a dark cloud before a summer rainstorm, and in an instant, the mud, sand and stones on the ground are beating uneasily, just like the restless hearts of the people in the city at this moment.

The figure of the other party gradually became clear in his eyes, Liang Bingyang, a civilian official, could only see that these people were not wearing Daxia military uniforms, but the Wudang army officer on the side could see the origin of this group of people at a glance.

North Beam, Harrier Eagle Ride!

He looked at the distance of the other party, and immediately his face changed, and he roared angrily: "Raise the shield!" ”

But after all, not everyone is a veteran of a hundred battles, many people's reactions are slower, and some people are proud of their familiarity with military arts, and they think that this group of thieves is still far away, and they have not slowed down, and the bow and arrow can't be shot, and the accurate head is not much better.

It's a pity that reality will always teach them to be human beings.

When a rain of arrows fell with a fierce sound of the wind, and landed accurately above everyone's heads, the successive wails were the painful lesson.

"Don't panic! Remove the wounded soldiers, the archers listen to my orders, ride! Pull! Take aim at! ”

The officer counted the distance and yelled, "Shoot!" ”

The bows and arrows of the defenders also shot out from the small opening, although the other party had already prepared, but the galloping horse was closer, and the defenders were standing on the ground again, and the crosshairs after long-term training were guaranteed, and a few people were still shot and fell from their horses.

"Gunner, get the gun! Raise! Take aim at! Throw! ”

In the rain of arrows that the other party fired back, the officer looked at the distance, and shouted again, and dozens of spears seemed to have the momentum of wind and thunder, drawing a curve in the air and falling into the opponent's formation, stabbing several people again.

The officer drew his sword first, his expression was grim, and he roared angrily: "Hold the position, just this one, their horses can't rush!" Behind him is home, parents, wives and children, and no one is allowed to escape! ”

Liang Bingyang also pulled out the sword on his waist at once, and shouted: "Swear to defend the city to the death!" This officer is with you! ”

A roar of rage was majestic, but his whole body was trembling, the hand holding the sword was shaking, and his calves and stomach were about to twitch.

In just a few breaths, his mind passed through his short life.

In the future, there should be a name of one's own left in the Xincheng County Chronicle, right?

But no one expected that the Beiliang Harrier Eagle Rider, who seemed to be like a tiger out of the cage, turned his horse's head and rushed towards the wilderness outside the city in the direction of the earthen wall.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Liang Bingyang even fell to the ground with weak legs.

"I'm ready to stand up! The enemy hasn't gone far yet! ”

The officer roared angrily, so frightened that Liang Bingyang got up, glanced at the other party cautiously, and secretly said that he should not be yelling at the official.

But if you roar, you will roar, and today's battle is thanks to others.

After a while, the officer who supervised the defense took a look around, and sent a few men to climb the earthen wall with a ladder to take a look, and made sure that the other party had gone far away, and had no intention of killing the horse pistol, and then ordered them to relax.

But at the same time, it also made Liang Bingyangan reject the waiting and guarding personnel, and always be vigilant against this large force of enemy troops.

Liang Bingyang listened silently, and said with some hesitation: "This group of enemy troops is so raging, we don't need to send troops."

The other party directly interrupted Liang Bingyang's words, "My lord, we only have this little person, as long as we go out of the city, it is not enough for the other party to rush and kill." ”

In his expression, there was calm helplessness, transparent cruelty, and even more deep sadness, "There are big and small things, adults, there should be trade-offs." ”

Liang Bingyang didn't speak, turned around and climbed the ladder of the earthen wall, looked at the wilderness around him steadily, and after being silent for a long time, he slowly came down, "It's up to you, this matter is my decision, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

The officer's face from the Wudang Army changed slightly, and Liang Bingyang patted him lightly on the shoulder, "It's hard for you to set up the city defense, I'll go to the city to appease you." ”

In the evening, several teams of scouts turned around and reported the situation in the county to Liang Bingyang.

"My lord, all the Zhuangzi outside the city were slaughtered and plundered, and many small villages were not spared and slaughtered. Now the thief army has gone straight to the neighboring county. ”

Liang Bingyang's heart ached, and he hurriedly asked, "What about the farmland?" What about Harunae Tanaka? ”

The scout was also stunned, he didn't expect the county magistrate to ask such a question, and recalled: "We didn't look closely, but there were traces of cavalry trampling back and forth, and the farmland was destroyed quite miserably." ”

Liang Bingyang leaned back in his chair, and he knew that this was the big trouble in Xincheng County in the next year.

But what he didn't know was that compared to the rest of the front line in Langya State, his Xincheng County was already completely lucky.

A day later, in the state pastor's mansion, Qin Dingbang, the new state pastor of Langya Prefecture, stood in the state pastor's mansion, looking at the battle report in his hand, so angry that his beard was trembling.

"Three counties were looted, two counties were slaughtered, and a total of four county orders died, so how can this official explain to the imperial court!"

"My lord is angry, this time the Dongfang Ping Five Road army came out together, which really made it difficult for the cities to prevent, although there were some losses, but after all, these thieves did not dare to occupy the city in a grand manner, which is not a crime of losing the land."

"Yes, although there are some losses this time, but there is no new city and county to protect a county, so that the thief army will return without merit, this is the merit of the adult's admonition!"

"Fuck your shit!"

Qin Dingbang listened to the praise of these staff members on weekdays, but today he only felt shameless and stupid, and finally couldn't help but burst into a foul language.

Are you stupid to be Your Majesty and the Queen Mother or the central princes! And the work!

If you dare to report it like this, you may not know where you will be demoted!

Zhang Hutou, the deputy commander of the Wolf Tooth Army, who had just taken office, said: "My lord, the previous attack of the Dongfang Pingxing Army was intended to encroach on and annex the land of my Wolf Tooth Prefecture, but it is obvious that they have changed their tactics this time, and they no longer pursue the gains and losses of one city and one place, but follow the path of the Northern Liang people, mainly looting and killing, and the last general will think that the real problem is in the spring ploughing, if this problem cannot be solved, the spring ploughing in the Langya Prefecture will be seriously hindered, Displaced people who have just returned to their homes and resettled will be displaced again. ”

Qin Dingbang looked at Zhang Hutou and sighed in his heart, this is the person who can be relied on at the critical moment, so he hurriedly said: "Commander Zhang, then in your opinion, how should this matter be dealt with?" ”

Zhang Hutou got up from the bottom in the end, and he had a lot of scheming, and hurriedly said: "This matter has been decided by Lord Qin and our generals, and the last general is just because it happened to be at the meeting, and he knew the previous Dongfang Ping's tactics of war, and he reported a few points of experience, how dare he speak falsely about the real military priorities." ”

Qin Dingbang glanced at the commander of the Wolf Tooth Army, and this commander also knew that Zhang Hutou was a person who fought side by side with the Marquis of Xing'an and had experienced life and death, so he couldn't take it lightly.

Although he is not afraid of a Xing'an Hou, who is behind the Xing'an Hou?

It's the Marquis of Jianning! Entering the center at the age of twenty, he is destined to be an immortal genius who will be in power for a while! The absolute ruthless man who killed the crown prince and the former British duke!

And behind the Marquis of Jianning, that is the Queen Mother!

So, he immediately said cordially and kindly: "Deputy Commander Zhang doesn't need to be polite, what you want to discuss here is to speak freely, now that the situation is urgent, you are quite familiar with the tactics of the Dongfang Ping Division, but it doesn't matter, we will all listen to it." ”

Zhang Hutou hesitated, although he knew that such a showy might cause problems, but the big thing was imminent, and he couldn't take care of a lot, so he immediately said: "At present, Dongfang Ping dares to attack, and the first thing he relies on is that the big river and the grape river have not yet thawed, so that his cavalry can pass quickly, and then gallop in my Langya Prefecture." Before the river thaws, Dongfang Ping's thief army will inevitably retreat. ”

"Secondly, because he has already cut off the support of the Northern Liang people, and he is afraid that the imperial court will organize the soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress him, so he must take the initiative to attack and disrupt our preparations. The last general thought that the first thing we should do at the moment was to clear the wilderness, protect the people with the city as much as possible, and then get in touch with the Marquis of Xing'an, who was sitting in Changshan County, set a strategy, and then report to the imperial court, waiting for the central decision. ”

After hearing this, Qin Dingbang nodded again and again, "This statement is reasonable, the Marquis of Xing'an is the governor of the military of Langya Prefecture, and he has repelled Dongfang Ping head-on, so he should ask his opinion on this matter." Someone! ”

"Send a messenger to Changshan County and ask for the advice of the Marquis of Xing'an!"

In Changshan County, Xing'an Hou Xia Yunfei sat in a mansion and looked at the map on the table.

Standing next to him was the adjutant general who had come to report the military situation.

"Five-way invasion, but not occupy the city, one blow and leave, just to loot, Dongfang Ping is a long brain!"

He sighed slowly, and the deputy general on the side said with some depressed indignation: "Dongfang Ping, this dog thief, weren't these his people before?" Now that they are joining forces with other races to brutalize civilians like this, it is really not enough to atone for their sins! has the ability, he came to our Changshan County! ”

Xia Yunfei turned his head calmly and said lightly: "My second brother has a good saying, anger is the most useless emotion, because it shows your incompetence. ”

Your second brother is invincible in the world, how can this compare to the adjutant general muttered in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The general has learned a lesson." ”

"Do you think that if Dongfang Ping doesn't come to fight us, we can sit back and relax? I am now ordered to supervise all the military forces in the Wolf Tooth State, can they enter the Wolf Tooth State and have nothing to do with me? ”

Xia Yunfei's calm words instantly moved the adjutant general's heart, he may not understand the world and officialdom without being in the army, but he is absolutely proficient in military affairs, and immediately said in surprise: "What does the general mean is that they also want to take the opportunity to force our main force out of the city and fight with them in the field?" ”

Xia Yunfei didn't answer directly, "Dongfang Ping has been in charge of the East Road Border Army for so many years, and he really has real kung fu under his hands." Without the city's support, we can't beat him after the Harrier Eagle Rider has been co-opted. ”

"However, if you don't go out of the city, the state governor's mansion, the center, and even Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will be" The adjutant general's face suddenly became ugly, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, "General, isn't the Marquis of Jianning also in the center, can he?"

Xia Yunfei shook his head.

He didn't want to cause trouble to Erlang, not to mention that even if Erlang could help him block the pressure from the imperial court and the state pastor's office, would he be able to stop the people's mouths?

With so many innocent people dying and wailing under the enemy's swords and guns, can they really sit still?

Xia Yunfei's brows furrowed deeply, and the general, who was usually silent, looked at the map in front of him, in a dilemma, and fell into deep worry.

Tuk-tuk.

One of the guards came to the door and said, "General, a messenger has arrived." ”

Xia Yunfei raised his head and saw the faces of the people who came, his face changed, and he immediately got up excitedly and went out, "Why are you here?!" ”

The guard, who had always stayed by Jiang Yuhu's side, said with a smile: "I won't come, I'm afraid you won't believe it." ”

He took out a letter from his arms, and then looked at the adjutant general on the side, "Son's secret letter, the rules in the army, haven't you forgotten?" ”

The lieutenant hurriedly clenched his fists, withdrew, and closed the door.

Xia Yunfei took the letter and opened it, and Jiang Yuhu's dog-like (crossed out) unrestrained and heroic handwriting came into view.

[Dingyuan, as I expected, Dongfang Ping will not attack Langya Prefecture again, but he does not dare to sit back and watch the imperial court recover its vitality, and it is very likely to adopt the strategy of harassment and plundering by the Northern Liang people, coming and going like the wind, robbing materials, slaughtering the people, destroying spring ploughing, and forcing you to go out of the city to find its main force for a decisive battle. 】

[If you run around, you will fall into the trap of the other party. If this is the case, don't worry, lead the main force to cross the river directly, attack the city opposite Changshan County, march towards Yuyan City, and force it to return to help. 】

Seeing this, the ignorant thought in Xia Yunfei's heart suddenly became clear, and he couldn't help but show excitement.

[If Dongfang Ping appears, you only need to form a formation and defend it to contain its main force. 】

[The rest of the matter, there is me. 】

At the end of a simple four words, the strong confidence and domineering almost came out of the paper.

Xia Yunfei was silent for a moment, and suddenly turned his head to look at the messenger on the side in shock, and the other party smiled and whispered in his ear: "Gongzi has led three thousand people to quietly Chen Bing Yuyan Prefecture border." ”

Xia Yunfei's face changed from shock to surprise, and finally froze with emotion, and said slowly: "Childe is really a god!" (End of chapter)
