Gangwon Town, one of the nine sides of Great Xia.

The nine sides, also known as the nine towns and the nine sides of Great Xia, are not much different from the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty on the earth. It is the nine important military towns that Great Xia has set up one after another on the frontier defense line.

Nine Sides and Nine Towns: Watching each other and cooperating with each other, forming a unique defense system.

The general army of Jiangyuan Town is stationed in Ningyuan Mansion, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. It has jurisdiction over the entire Ningxi Corridor, which is more than 100 kilometers long, about seven days away from Rongcheng, and is also the most important line of defense for the Zhou Dynasty in Great Xia.

Go directly to the border town, what is this for? Large-scale war, began?

Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and now Liu Mo is the deputy chief of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang guards, no matter what the reason, he has to obey orders.

Unlike in the past, this time when he went to Jiangyuan Town, Liu Mo only asked Tang Qingfeng to accompany him.

The reason why Zhao Da was not brought was that on the one hand, he was not a soldier after all, so it was inconvenient. On the other hand, Lin Shiqi and other daughters-in-law also need the protection of a person with strong martial arts.

In addition, according to Bai Chengzong's order, Liu Mo gathered fifty cavalry, one hundred archers, and three hundred infantry from Rongcheng. This is already two-thirds of the army of Rongcheng.

"Brother Tang, do you regret it?" When Tang Qingfeng rode beside Liu Mo, the other party spoke, "There may be a big battle!" ”

Tang Qingfeng smiled faintly. "It's not difficult to save your life!"

"With your words, I'm relieved!"

Tang Qingfeng snorted coldly, "Lord Liu, you are very clever. He subconsciously looked at Liu Mo, "If I were a friend, tell me the truth, did you provoke someone who shouldn't be provoked?" ”

Liu Mo grinned, "It's true, it's true!" ”

The reason why Yang Yizhi let himself go was that he wanted to win Liu Mo on the battlefield openly, but no one could guarantee that this guy would suddenly change his mind.

His terrifying martial arts, twenty Liu Mo can't beat it!

"Dare I ask which one?"

Liu Mo didn't answer directly, but replied, "Brother Tang, do you really think that with my skills, the enemy is too high-ranking relatives?" ”

"I have had many speculations, poisoning, sneak attacks, or being seriously injured in a duel between Gao Qi and the strong men of the Zhou Dynasty."

And then I'm going to mend it, right? Liu Mo smiled secretly. "Brother Tang, have you ever heard of the Zhou Dynasty's 'Ink Viper'?"

"Xiao Shen?" Tang Qingfeng couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard this.

Liu Mo glanced at him, "What?" ”

Tang Qingfeng couldn't help but be stunned. "Tang wants to remind you...... This person is dangerous. He replied, "If he is determined to kill you, even I will not be able to protect you!" ”

Don't hesitate to get hurt yourself, fight me Liu Mo! What Tang Qingfeng wants to say should be this.

"Hahaha. Brother Tang, if you are worried that I will be stupid enough to duel Xiao Shen in person, then there is no need, I am not a vain person! ”

"It's not prudence that you should be aware of. I'm going to find out! After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, he grabbed the horse's belly and walked away, no longer talking to Liu Mo.

Gangwon Town has a long history. The crevices of the ancient masonry are covered with thick moss, and the main entrance of the wall is flanked by two huge towers, several small towers guarding every corner of the wall.

All towers are square.

The circular drum tower protruding from the outer wall and the half-moon tower protruding from the city wall are more conducive to defending against trebuchets because the curved shape reflects the flying stones more effectively, but it is clear that Gangwon Fortress is much older than the time when the architects accumulated this special wisdom.

The main tower towers over a wide and fertile valley, and is known on maps and as a local inhabitant the Black Wood Forest.

It is undoubtedly a valley, but not a single tree has grown in nearly 100 years, whether it is black, brown, or green. Maybe there were, yes, but it's long since it was cut off.

Houses, warehouses and fortifications have risen from the once oak-covered land, the desolate and muddy ground mottled with piles of melting snow.

Liu Mo led his troops on a whirling march through the rolling hills into the valley, where the land and farmland that once surrounded Gangwon City had been wiped out.

All that was left was dirt and ashes, and charred houses and broken ruins scattered about.

The ruins were covered with weeds and thorns, and there was not even a grain of crop other than that.

The Nine Sides of Great Xia was originally a military tuntian system, but due to the continuous wars, every time the Zhou Dynasty invaded, the first thing was to burn the farmland, so that there was no harvest all year round.

For this reason, the so-called military tuntian was also banned, and it was replaced by the household department or Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

It is precisely for this reason that the household department of Great Xia is tight and the supply cannot keep up, so there will be a situation where Liu Mo will fund the troops.

Liu Mo's troops walked quickly through the avenue, and when they entered the gate, a group of cavalry stepped forward to interrogate them.

The leader Liu Mo is very familiar. "Brother Zhu!" He reined in his greetings.

"Brother Liu Xian!" Zhu Min said loudly, "Seeing you here, I don't know whether to be happy or worried as a brother!" ”

"Worried that I'll rob you of your military exploits?" Liu Mo said with a smile. "Let's go inside!"

"Haha, you kid!" Zhu Min turned the horse's head, and as soon as he gave the order, someone opened the heavy city gate, vacating a way for Liu Mo to lead his men and horses through.

Entering the town, several grooms immediately came out of the stables to tend to their horses.

"General Bai has been waiting for you for a long time!" Zhu Min told him.

"Got it," Liu Mo told him, "my people need to eat and drink, so I'll leave it to you." He walked into the council hall and immediately saw Bai Chengzong.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and Bai Chengzong, who is also the general soldier of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Guards, looks much older.

When Liu Mo walked in, Bai Chengzong was discussing something with another general, Li Jinliang.

This person is the chief soldier of Gangwon Town, he is sturdy, his head is half bald, and his beard is shortly trimmed.

Li Jinliang saw him first, "You are Liu Mo?" ”

"Xiaguan has seen General Li!" Liu Mo bowed, "I've seen General Bai!" ”

"Just in time, come here!" Bai Chengzong recruited him over, "The current situation is very bad. ”

"The enemy army has overwhelmed the border?"

"No, there are 10,000 horses outside the gate!" Bai Chengzong said, "The problem is not here! ”

"That's?"

"The Zhou Dynasty sent an envoy, saying that they wanted peace talks!"

"Peace talks?" Liu Mo was surprised, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd!

"General Ben is worried that the peace talks of the Zhou Dynasty are fake, and it is true that he secretly gathered a large army and attempted to invade my Great Xia!"

Remove the word "worried", 10,000 horses and horses went to the front, not released!

The situation was very bad, presumably because the movement of the enemy army was not detected.

"If I am Yang Yizhi, how should I deploy?" Liu Mo fell into deep thought.

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, "The enemy army must have gathered a large army on the Xingluo border!" ”

"Oh?" Bai Chengzong and the others looked at Liu Mo in surprise, "I want to hear about it!" ”
