Chapter 286: Fighting for Hegemony: Expedition to Dingzhou
The night is silent, fleeting!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Woo! Woo! Woo!
The sound of drums accompanied by loud horns, at six o'clock in the morning, sounded throughout the Qin capital.
The sound of neat footsteps, and the clanging sound of running against the battle armor, were transmitted frantically in the streets and alleys of Qindu.
Different from the past, on weekdays, the streets of Qindu at six o'clock are only businessmen who get up early to sell steamed buns and breakfast. And today, the streets and alleys are full of people from the Qin capital, from the inside of the royal city, the farewell mode has continued to the outside of the city.
Moreover! The scale is large, like a sea of people, and unlike the bustling streets of the past, today's main street is extremely quiet, although there are many people.
The entire Qin capital seemed to still fall into the silence of the early morning.
At this time, outside the Qin capital, 80,000 troops from Beiliang were assembled, with sharp eyes and sharp eyes, waving spears, like bamboo shoots, straight into the sky, row by row, column by column, all of which were extremely neat and serious.
Majestic and high-spirited, this is the Great Qin Ruishi.
In the school field in the royal city, five thousand Xuanjia soldiers stood in the air, wearing a ghost head mask on their faces, it was the messenger who had not yet returned to hell in the early morning, hideous and terrifying. Dongfang Yu also began to set up a platform to point generals, and almost all the generals of Beiliang came together.
"Drums! Points! ”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the school field, the war drums beat again, bursts of drums, in the quiet early morning, the momentum is incomparably grand, soaring into the sky.
"My king Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
The shouts of the five thousand Xuanjia troops were like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth.
"Bai Qi, Zhang Han listens to orders." Dongfang Yu shouted.
Bai Qi and Zhang Han, one left and one right, came out of the queue. Under the flying cloak, he immediately bowed down and clenched his fists, "The end will be!" ”
"Feng Baiqi is the vanguard general, Zhang Han is the vanguard deputy general, leading 20,000 troops, and entering the boundary of Dingzhou first."
"No!"
The two of them were serious, with joy, and the result of the vanguard order was to retreat into the queue.
It is most suitable to let Bai Qi and Zhang Han be vanguard generals. After all, if it is Ma Chao and Pei Yuanqing, they must belong to the generals who charge into battle.
"Tiger Xiaoyue, Pei Yuanqing, and Ma Dai listen to orders."
"The end will be."
The three stepped out of the queue and stood in front of the three armies.
"Ordered Hu Xiaoyue to be the general of the former army, Pei Yuanqing to be the general of the rear army, and Ma Dai to be the general of the grain protection."
"No!"
The three of them received the order and retreated into the queue.
The Chinese army was led by Gu himself, Yuwen Hu, Xuan Ziyuan, Li Hui of the artillery battalion, and Xu Meng, the military division, set off with Gu. The rest of the generals sat in Beiliang to prevent foreign enemies from invading. Dongfang Yu said proudly: "Soldiers, if you don't take Dingzhou, you will not turn back." ”
Beiliang is the lifeblood of the Great Qin Foundation, and he doesn't want his home to be stolen because of a conquest.
Moreover, at this time, Beiliang, after the dispatch of 140,000 troops, the soldiers and horses who stayed in Beiliang, as well as 110,000 and several generals, were all protected in Liangzhou.
Of course, the total strength summarized by Dongfang Yu does not include the Weijia army that is far away in the grassland. The number of soldiers reported by Wei Qing from the grassland, under the expansion of the Wei family's army, there are 80,000 people.
After the sum of the soldiers of Beiliang, the entire Qin State had an army of 330,000.
"Long live the King! Long live the King! ”
……
"Let's go!"
Dongfang Yu ordered to drink, and the five thousand Xuanjia troops immediately followed the rear army from the front army, turned the horse's head, and walked towards the outside of the Wangcheng School, neatly and solemnly.
As the Xuanjia army rushed out, Dongfang Yu got down from the battle lift and stepped onto the war horse. The armor is dazzling, the cloak is displayed, the heroic posture is cool, and the power is incomparable.
A group of generals followed one after another, and after the merger.
It's just that what Dongfang Yu didn't expect was that the men, women and children of Qindu were about to crowd the main street. The people of Qin went to see the king of Qin.
"Help the king return triumphantly, pacify Dingzhou, and dominate the world." An old man, supported by two little dolls about ten years old, knelt on the ground.
Chanting triumph.
This person Dongfang Yu is still very familiar with it, on the day of the return of the Northern Expedition, it was this old man who led the old and young of the Qin State to welcome the return of the King of Qin.
This person is the old man Han Qiu, and the two children who supported Han Qiu's arms are Han Hu and Han Leopard, who have grown up, three years old, and their bodies are much stronger than three years ago.
"Help the king return triumphantly, pacify Dingzhou, and dominate the world."
……
All the people knelt on the ground one after another, shouting loudly and with great momentum, as if the mountains were shouting and the tsunami.
"With such subjects, why worry about the uncertain world!" Dongfang Yu looked up slightly, obliquely looking at the sky, the round of silver crescent moon, the joy of his face, was immediately revealed.
Tian Ping also got up early, he didn't come to prepare grain and grass, but naturally came to see King Qin lead a large army to the battle.
Before the soldiers and horses moved, the grain and grass went first, and the 200,000 stone grain and grass had already set off two days before the departure of the army.
"The king, you are already majestic enough to dominate the world. Even! The belonging of the world seems to have been settled a long time ago. Tian Ping heard the shouts of the people coming out of the mouths like a tsunami from the mountains.
With such a popular heart, the world is not unified, even God, and he is blind.
"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, since ancient times, the eternal truth." On Tian Ping's flank, standing were the four princesses of the Qin State.
Each person was wrapped in a layer of fluff coat and watched Dongfang Yu go on the expedition.
This man is the myth of the world, and it is their husband. To be able to marry such a husband is a blessing for four people.
……
Two days, fleeting, long march, accompanied by the scenery on the way, seemed extremely boring.
At this time, the army of Qin had already stepped out of the border of Beiliang and entered the border of Dingzhou.
"Shhh
"Ordered the army, all stopped repairing, and in a few miles, they entered Dingzhou." Dongfang Yu grabbed the reins and stopped moving forward.
Because, fifty miles ahead, is where Han County is located, here is the gateway to Dingzhou, according to Liangzhou in the north, anti-Zhengzhou, can be described as Dingzhou Tiger City.
If this county is lost, Dingzhou can be regarded as an open door, and such a populous and rich land will fall into the hands of others.
"The whole army rested on the spot and waited for news from the vanguard army." Dongfang Yu ordered and immediately dismounted.
"No!"
The army paused and went down to rest.
At the right time, the military advisor Xu Meng swam over at a trot.
"The military advisor came just in time, and Lone happened to have something important to discuss with the military advisor." Dongfang Yu said in a cheerful voice.
Xu Meng took a sip of wine, and the amount of alcohol today must be controlled, or it will be gone.
"The king wants to ask, but Han County."
Dongfang Yu nodded noncommittally, "Exactly!" Han County is a county with a large population, and if it can be taken down and become my Qin State, it will increase the population by five or six hundred thousand at once. ”
"I heard that the general who is now stationed in Han County is the general of Zhengzhou Mu Zhang Han, Xiong An. This person has some connection with our army. ”
"When Gu Chu came to Liangzhou, when he fought with the four generals of Liangzhou, this person was also used as a large army to help Gu."
