Chapter 169: Loyal and Brave Li Hou
The wind dragon is the main pass, and the wind cuts his face, and splashes handfuls of yellow sand on the quaint city wall.
A general with a sword in his hand stood on top of the city, and for a time the sound was like thunder.
"Reporting to the state-"
In a short time, at the bottom of the city wall, an army of 20,000 prisoners and men began to form a nervous formation. Among them, there were also many young faces, who were sat by their relatives and became the sons of prisoners, or sentenced to exile or husbands. Under the beacon fire in northern Xinjiang, there is no handkerchief of the girl next door, and there is no leisure and elegance of touring the mountains and rivers. Yes, only one is born to die.
Li Chong, who was standing at the head of the city, did not focus on the other elite battalions, but on this group of prisoners.
Under the general trend, if the Central Plains is subverted, the flames of war will burn thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
A lot of times, he doesn't want to. But there is no way, and only in this way can the Shenlu National Master of Di Kingdom be forced to step into the trap.
"Report to the state camp, from now on, you will be paid the same salary as the battalion army!" Li Chong raised his head, and his voice was full of Shen Yi, "If you break the country of Di and restore the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, you will wait...... When you return to your hometown safely, you will go to the crime you have committed and redo yourself as a common man! β
Li Chong's sentence made countless prisoners raise their heads in ecstasy. Like them, the biggest thought in this life is nothing more than to take off the shackles on their bodies and return to their hometowns to reunite with their relatives.
"Sacrifice three animals!"
"Today, I am the king of Daran, and I am going to go out to Mobei, I Li Chong, I respectfully ask you to kill the enemy and break the captivity, and the head of the dog is three thousand miles!"
"I am majestic and ......" Li Chong's eyes were moist, he drew his long sword and pointed to the mountains and rivers outside the pass.
"I'm majestic, the state is forty-six, and the two are nine passes-"
β¦β¦
"Heaven is in heaven, the sun and the moon are vast."
"The four seas surrender, the desert north barbarian mountains."
In the stone forest where the soldiers were hidden, Chen Jing and Li Chun also had calm voices.
It is already the third day, and according to the agreement with Li Chong, today, the army in Fenglong Pass will go out of the city and fight with the 150,000 army of Di Guo.
"General Chen, are you ready?"
"Naturally, the blood is hot."
β¦β¦
Hucheng City.
Zhong Lu, as the main general, began to put on his armor and walked calmly outside the camp tent.
Outside the tent, the 20,000 troops assembled were also ready for battle.
"The people of the city...... Quickly leave Hucheng and take refuge in the mountains. Zhong Lu pressed the knife, looked around, and there was a hint of reluctance in his tone.
But no matter what, as Li Hou said in the letter. This time, he was going to take 20,000 people to do a thrilling thing.
The mountains and rivers are broken, and the iron hooves of the foreign tribes have stepped on. If you don't defend the country, it's no different from pigs and dogs.
β¦β¦
"I'm majestic."
More than 500 miles east of Northern Xinjiang, Sima Zhuo, who was riding on a horse, spit out a sentence with a smile.
Beside him, Xu Lingjun, who was wearing heavy armor, was a little unclear.
"Brother Sima, why are you shouting like that?"
"Rebellion is rebellion, but in my bones, I am a Ran person after all. Therefore, I also hope that Li Hou's side can be more powerful and drive all the dogs of Di Guo out of the Central Plains. Of course, if Qingzhou dares to rush to the aid of Di Gou, you and I will have a good fight. β
"I received the information, it seems that 30,000 people have been sent and have already gone on the expedition."
"Blockage. In my life Sima Zhuo, I look down on those who eat meat and drop bowls. These county kings of Qingzhou should have died long ago. β
"A bunch of eggless doggers."
Xu Lingjun listened and laughed.
"Brother Sima is an elegant person, and he also scolded today."
"Scolding a dog, it will be very refreshing."
Sima Zhuo raised his head and looked to the west. The information he received said that even today, the loyal and brave marquis was going to lead his troops into battle. Of course, according to his guess, Da Ran's last battle-hardened old marquis would not simply send him to death. I can't say it, I also hid a plan.
"Brother Xu, don't forget, our Da Ran loyal and brave marquis, when the first emperor was in power, he was known as the person of the Great Ran Barrier. The southern expedition and the northern war, great military achievements. β
Xu Lingjun rarely did not fight, "In terms of arranging troops, I am inferior to him, it is indeed a fact." β
"The veteran will be activated, and the entire Central Plains will have the potential to go to the national disaster together, if this one is lost, I am afraid that the backbone will really be broken." Sima Zhuo tilted his head, his voice extremely calm.
"It's still the same sentence, there are no foreigners in the Central Plains, so I, Sima Zhuo, can justifiably rebel."
"Brother Sima, they have all rebelled, how can they still be justified?"
"A decaying dynasty, I betrayed it, naturally it is a legitimate thing."
Xu Lingjun seems to understand whether he understands or not.
Sima Zhuo exhaled and faced in the direction of Fenglong Pass.
"Li Chongβ"
"First Marquis of Da Ran, drive all the dogs out of the Central Plains!"
β¦β¦
Li Chong turned his head, and after boosting his morale, he did not hesitate at all.
"Order, the army marches."
The muffled horn and the sound of the drum sounded all at once. The army of more than 200,000 people, in the sound of robes and swords, lined up in a military formation and began to march outside the gate.
"Master Hou, if the army is exhausted, I'm afraid that Fenglong Pass will be under-garrisoned."
"A fight to the death, no need to think about the way out." Li Chong's complexion remained unchanged. In his heart, the Fenglong Pass in front of him will become the abandonment of more than 200,000 people. Of course, the layout of this scene, in the matter of abandonment, he needs to arrange it.
As for Chen Jing's side, he is the last surprise soldier.
"Expedition!"
At the forefront of the march was the prison camp, even with the armor, but these people's faces did not have any spirit of conquest, the first time they went to the battlefield, there was still a sense of nervousness.
On both sides of the army, there are cavalry troops, and at this time, the phalanx of the mixed brigade is riding on foot, like a desert python, rushing forward.
The scouts who were running back and forth, about two or three hundred people, kept probing in front, and sent the information from the front back to Li Chong's main formation.
"How long will it take to get to Rock Mountain?" Li Chong held the information and spoke in a deep voice.
"Li Hou, you can arrive in one day. These Di country dogs, with no one in their eyes, set up camp in the area of Rock Mountain, only thinking that the world was invincible. β
"They can't wait for me to go on the expedition."
"Li Hou, when you get to Yanshan, I'm afraid that it will be dark. In addition, the people of Di Guo are waiting for work, and we should avoid their edge, camp first, and fight again the next day. β
After pondering for a while, Li Chong nodded.
"Give the order to go down, and let the phalanx of the marching army encamp ten miles from the rocky mountain. Remember, the snowy winter has passed, and the desert has been dry for many days, so you must beware of the Di people's plan to burn the camp. β
"Li Hou rest assured."
Li Chong closed his eyes, took advantage of no one's attention, turned his head sideways, and looked into the depths of the desert to the west. He knew that he was now the next game of chess, and the real killer was not the more than 200,000 troops who went to the north, but the 30,000 people who were hiding, and the 20,000 righteous troops in Hucheng.
Chen Jing, don't let me down.
"Li Hou has an order, set up camp in situ!"
It didn't take long for the scout camp to choose a place to camp, and the generals on horseback continued to run back and forth in the vast army.
In the twilight sky, a touch of the remnant sun slanting westward, spread over the army of more than 200,000 Ran. The faces, in the afterglow, also became radiant.
