Chapter 557: All-Out War
The summer sun shines on the earth as the white clouds move.
The aftermath of the war drums also echoed over Yanjing City, and the armies outside the city were shocked by the floating dust, and had assembled in the fields south of the city.
At this time, the imperial city was immersed in a terrible silence, and there were imperial city soldiers everywhere, five steps and one post, three steps and one sentry.
The guards in iron armor surrounded the large hall behind them that had only been built in recent years, and inside was the core of the entire Xia Kingdom.
In the Shangwu Palace, the huge Xia Kingdom Dragon Flag is draped on the walls everywhere, under the viewing platform, and the weapons of swords, guns, swords, and halberds decorate the surrounding walls.
Su Chen was dressed in black mountain armor, dragging a red cloak, standing on the edge of the high platform, and below him were the generals of the army who had gathered, and the civil and military forces in the court.
Li Jing, Bai Qi, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Li Xuanba, Zhang Fei and other major generals in the army all came together and stood on both sides.
Such a scale, when and where, is a thrilling existence.
"I've been looking forward to this battle since I came back from the Western Regions."
Su Chen is tall and tall, as an emperor killed on horseback, he already has the majesty that a founding emperor should have.
His eyes swept coldly over everyone below.
"After more than half a year of preparation, the intelligence and baggage have been implemented one by one." The emperor on the high platform, the voice of the emperor spread from the internal force to any corner of the hall, "It's time to show the sword to the western barbarians." ”
Below, the Chinese generals present raised their faces and looked at the Son of Heaven above, they clenched their fists slightly, and their eyes were serious and murderous.
Without any warm-up, without any atmosphere mobilization, Su Chen directly said about the upcoming battle, and then, his eyes gradually became serious, and he asked Wu Zixun to push the map over.
It was drawn according to Li Chaofu's description, and after that, it was several months of secret agents and scouts, who crossed Tianfeng Ridge, sped westward, and brought back the recorded terrain, and the Taiwei Mansion here drew in detail the west of Tianfeng Ridge to the border of Satsuma according to scribbled graphics and text descriptions.
That's why I have the map I have now.
"This map is not easy to come by, it is stained with the blood of more than 30 people, they are all my best scouts and spies, more than 100 people have crossed the Tianfeng Ridge, gone to the west, and used their lives to bring back the maps of mountains, cities, and rivers drawn by them, we can't let down their lives."
Su Chen looked at the map and was pushed not far in front of the generals by several strong soldiers.
"I have marked the straight road from Tiele to Tianfengling, and the people of Xizhou have done their best to complete the construction in seven months, with a total length of 1,200 li, and the road surface is flat, which is enough for the rapid passage of troop transporters."
"Now it's time to talk about the arrangements for sending troops."
In the main hall of slaughter, the flames in the copper tripod burned.
All the generals bowed their hands in unison: "Please make a decision, Your Majesty!" ”
"Bai Qi!" Su Chen's voice was strong and low, and he turned his gaze on the high platform to look at Wu Anjun, who was the first on the right below.
"Bai Qi is the right road of the Western Expedition, commanding Youyan, Qin Army, and Yulin Cavalry, Jia Xu is joining the army, and 10,000 soldiers and horses are protecting the Western Regions, and Hou Junji is the deputy general."
In the first place on the right, Bai Qi strode out and arched his hand: "The minister's order!" ”
Su Chen's gaze immediately looked at the other person: "Li Jing! ”
"The minister is here!"
"You are in command of the Tang Army, the Yizhou Army, and the White Horse Righteous Servant, Guan Yu is the deputy general, and Guo Jia is the army and the Middle Route Army!"
Li Jing stroked his chin and short beard, and bowed down.
"Command!"
"Your Majesty, what about the left side?" Zhang Fei saw that the coach did not fall on his second brother, so he came out a little impatiently and asked.
Su Chen laughed, his gaze swept over the impatient Zhang Fei, and he took a step, his tall body moving slowly, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.
"The Left Route Army, Qingzhou, Xiliang, Feiqiang Cavalry, Controlling String Wolf Cavalry, and the Slave Army, is temporarily commanded by me, and Zhuge Liang joins the army; Di Renjie acted as the prime minister and assisted the prince in supervising the country. ”
The big hand was raised and raised: "In addition, the state army set off with the fleet and headed north along the coast, probably passing through the north of the snowfield, and then westward, to Elsa's hometown, where a roundabout battle will be conducted!" ”
"The cities in the Western Regions have organized coalition forces, and these soldiers and horses can't fight tough battles, but they can be used as servant armies to help fight and fight, which is also a good choice."
"The Mongolian cavalry of Subutai, 150,000 have already set off first, one step ahead, and sweep the wilderness for us, we can't drag others back!"
Su Chen stopped, stood on the edge, and couldn't help laughing when he thought of something.
"The entire Xia Kingdom was fought out of the territory by us with a knife and a gun, and was taken from the hands of the Six Kingdoms, and now on the other hand, someone wants to cut flesh and bleed from us, hehe...... If they did, it would be a big joke.
That's fine, before this happened, I had been hesitating whether to fight this battle, or send someone to contact one or two first, if it was good to talk, I gave up my face and returned the national teacher Zhang Jiao and them.
It's a pity that the Western barbarians taught me a lesson first, and since they are arrogant, then you can't blame me for the ruthlessness of the Great Xia soldiers.
I heard Li Chaofu say that there are still achievements in the west, not the wilderness that we think, they have many cities made of stone, domestic animals that we have never seen before, and all kinds of crops, melons and fruits, all of which we have never heard of, and when the harvest is harvested, the granary is difficult to hold.
I am very envious, you know, after the battle of the Six Kingdoms, many places were barren and in ruins, and after three years, the situation improved.
You say, how is it that the West has such a good life, with such good crops and vast land, but they are not satisfied and still want our ......"
Stepping on the footsteps, the nail leaves rubbed softly.
Su Chen raised his hand and slowly clenched his fist.
"They want our land, how can they give it to them" waved into the air, Su Chen's voice became high-pitched: "I have never been a soft person, I believe that my civil and military affairs are also hard bones, the knife is on the neck, how can I not return it!"
I want theirs too! ”
Su Chen did not turn around and walk off the high platform, but jumped directly, and in the sound of the cloak, there was a dull roar, and the emperor's figure fell steadily below, striding away from the crowd.
"Out of town!"
One by one, the figures looked at the back of the dragging cloak, divided into two columns and followed closely, and in the main hall, suddenly a nail leaf rubbed, and the sound of footsteps was stepped.
Zhuge Liang, Wang Lang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Di Renjie and other ministers were also infected by the breath of this golden iron horse, followed the side of the generals, and walked out of the hall together.
Su Chen dragged his cloak and turned over on the war horse, and said softly: "Keep up" Then, the horse galloped away.
For a while, the generals and Wenchen got on their respective war horses, followed the emperor, rushed out of the imperial city, walked through the Suzaku Avenue, and went straight to the southern suburbs of the city.
The bright sun shines on the clouds and spreads between the heavens and the earth.
On the field, the banner covering the sky and the sun was swaying in the wind, and the dense crowd of people in a formation looked at the figure running from afar, and the long soldiers in their hands smashed the ground one by one, making a neat 'boom' sound.
Sigh!
Su Chen pulled the reins, slowed down his speed, and then urged his horse to the high platform here, and the cloak behind him, together with the Xia Guo Daxu, hunted in the wind.
More than a dozen generals lined up with the high platform as the center.
On the high platform, Su Chen looked at the past from the back of his horse, and in his field of vision, there were crowds of people, dense guns and flags standing in the sun.
Rows of horsemen on war horses stretched for miles, their heads neatly arranged, their manes swaying, their hooves spewing out manic breath and making heavy breaths.
"My son!"
Su Chen shouted on horseback, and when the wind lifted the cloak, he raised one arm and stretched out to the sky, his fingers slowly bent and clenched into fists, and his voice was wrapped in internal force, like thunder, it suddenly exploded in front of the three armies.
"Do you know where we're going?!"
In response to Su Chen, countless voices overlapped and rushed into the sky.
"Enemy land—"
"Haha, it seems that my soldiers know very well, what are we going to do?! Then I don't have anything to say, you just need to go over and release the blood of the enemy with a knife, cut off their heads, and show off your military merits, can you do it?! ”
"It can be done!" Countless waves of sound swept in.
"I'll be afraid!"
"No!"
The wind and clouds swirled, Su Chen pulled out the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, and the majestic voice continued.
"The Western barbarians are very fierce, they have come to the Western Regions and killed many people, but I tell you that those barbarians are just the other side's miscellaneous soldiers, not the elite, the real elite, still in their country, and then you will meet them, many of you, may die in battle, like this...... Aren't you afraid?! ”
The array was silent for a moment.
Immediately, someone's voice suddenly sounded: "Don't be afraid! ”
Immediately after, more voices also shouted: "Don't be afraid! ”
"Kill them!"
"Pacify the country of the barbarians!"
All kinds of words converged into one, Su Chen was on the high platform, nodded, raised his hand and pressed it, "But I want to tell you here that the enemy is very strong, different from what we encountered before, but I also want to tell you here that no matter how strong the enemy is, it will be our prey."
Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, have I fought a tailwind battle? Eight hundred soldiers rose up, swept across the land of Liuzhou, crossed the grassland, crossed the rivers and seas, and now we have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, or even a million soldiers, the weapons in our hands are sharp and hard, and the heart in our chest is even harder.
Guys, it's our turn to hunt! Su Chen's voice resounded over the field, and the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow in his hand waved, pointing to the west, "The west will be our hunting ground—"
Ahead, countless people raised their arms and waved their weapons.
"Kill—"
"Kill—"
"Kill—"
"Let the prey in the west have a good experience, how fierce the soldiers are in the country of Great Xia, how good the Great Xia Erlang is, they like to plunder, kill, and even eat people, let us give them all back, trample their land, tear down their walls, and plunder all their things.
From this day on, I will join you, with the iron hoof of revenge, to set foot on the soil of the West, and teach them what war is with war horses and blades! ”
Su Chen's words paused, and the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, with a 'hum' sound of breaking the air, roared loudly, resounding throughout the world.
"Burn the West to the ground and level their cities!"
The bright light of the sky shone on the blade, reflecting a blinding light, cutting down from everyone's sight.
Su Chen's eyes exuded a fierce light, and in his thick beard, he opened his mouth wide, and his high-pitched voice roared: "Great Xia will win!" ”
Around the high platform, Lu Bu, Bai Qi, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, and Yu Chigong ...... The generals also pulled out and raised it above their heads, followed by a loud voice, and roared out.
Li Xuanba even smashed the double hammer, and his voice was higher than everything.
On the vast field, the Tang Army, the Qin Army, Youyan, and Yizhou several soldiers and horses could not be seen at a glance, and the dense figures raised their weapons and smashed the ground, and a huge roar swept the sky.
"Long live Great Xia!"
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"
Whistling waves rushed into the sky.
Xiang Yu, who stood in the distance with the silver-armored halberd, stationed at the gate of the barracks, looked at this scene, as if he saw his former self, and galloped across the field.
A horse approached, and a general named Long Ji looked with him with a gun.
……
"Sons and daughters, let's ......" Su Chen grinned and kissed, his voice like a devil.
"—Expedition!"
The wind and clouds are moving.
……
On October 11, a heavy rain poured into the westernmost part of the Western Regions, Tianfeng Ridge, which is a branch of the southern mountain range of the Great Snow Mountain.
The mountains are crossed, the peaks are numerous, and there are also a few gentle terrains, and after the heavy rain, the muddy soil sprouts, and the next second, the horse's paw embedded with iron hooves is stepped back into the mud.
Several knights stood in the same place, and from the field of vision, there was a stretch of mountains, and the sounds of apes, cicadas, and birds chirping rose and fell in the mountains.
The knight at the head of the hill straddled his sword, wearing leather armor sewn from a leather jacket, a helmet lined with fur, a scimitar at his waist, and a hunting bow common in the steppe on his back.
He swept through the dense forest of winding mountain roads, occasionally hearing a few familiar birdsongs, and immediately rushed down the hillside with four horsemen behind him, and burrowed into the forest.
The two horsemen in front of them waved their blades as they walked, cutting off the hanging branches and vines, and the three horsemen in the back, including the knight just now, whispered in Xijon's words.
"The message from the brother just now has discovered His Majesty's secret agents, and they have gone over to answer and are ready to fight at any time."
These cavalry are the restructured Mongolian cavalry, and each squad has a cardhead, and if the cardhead dies, the rest of the soldiers will be severely punished.
After the card head finished speaking, the cavalry on the left and right faintly stepped forward and protected him behind.
In the distance, the birdsong with a hidden message came again.
The face of the Mongolian cavalry led by him changed slightly, he did not say anything, he pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and his horse passed directly through the two men who opened the way in front.
"If something happens, follow me over to answer!"
The other four horsemen immediately rode up and turned over the hunting bow behind them.
