The night in the Gobi Desert in the north is very cold,

Even the moonlight is as cold as water,

The armor on his body was slightly frosty.

Xu Xian took a breath, rubbed his hands that were red from the cold, took out the map, and looked carefully through the light of the torches, from the royal court to this point, it has been a rapid march for two days and one night, and the way back is fortunately, it is straight into a line without delaying too much time.

"Your Highness, it's almost time for the Jade Gate to close. ”

Ma Youliang looked at the familiar scenery around him by the cold moonlight and said.

"Well, I don't know what the situation is on Daddy's side. ”

"But now that the Northland border trouble has been removed, the situation is not much worse. ”

"It's here, Yumen Pass!"

Xu Xian looked at it from afar, and there was a fire on the city wall.

The bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, and the vast sea of clouds.

The long wind is tens of thousands of miles, blowing the Yumen Pass.

Xu Xianxin felt something, and whispered the poems of his previous life.

Speaking of the previous life, I really went to Yumen Pass, the scene at that time and this side of the world is surprisingly consistent, standing in the city tower and looking into the distance, surrounded by yellow sand ravines and ravines, the earth city wall winds endlessly, the beacon is standing tall, the poplar is upright, the spring water is green, the red willow flowers are red, and the reeds are swaying endlessly.

The scene of the small lake next to the yellow sand of the desert and the rippling blue waves only felt in a trance when I first saw it.

can be a little less of the fireworks in the world,

After staying for a long time, there is an inexplicable taste of desolation in my heart.

However, in the previous life, the Yumen Gate was also prosperous.

Now this world is as desolate as the future generations, thousands of miles of yellow sand, a lonely city stands in this northern Gobi, only as the first barrier to block the barbarian iron horse south.

"Your Highness, do you say that there is still a need for this Jade Gate Pass to exist in the future?"

Ma Youliang thought of the golden tent of the barbarians that had been trampled on, and looked at the Yumen Pass, where he had lived for nearly twenty years, and sighed a little, if it was really necessary to stop the garrison in the future, he was really a little reluctant.

"Uncle Ma, the barbarian hasn't been killed yet. ”

Xu Xian paused, this trip to the north to kill countless barbarians, but the number of barbarians who died in the military disaster was less than 300,000, and a large number of barbarian women and children had to be added, the barbarian soldiers who were defeated in the Battle of the Golden Horde, Xu Xian did not give the order to chase, because in the vast Gobi, he really didn't have the kung fu to catch those "rabbits" who had been polished off all their courage.

"What's more, there is an inexhaustible supply of agate jade on this Gobi Desert. ”

"It may not be the next Silk Road. ”

Xu Xian chuckled, when the Silk Road was in full bloom, Yumen Pass was also a camel bell, people shouted horses neighing, caravans were crowded, envoys came and went, a prosperous scene, just because it was the throat of the Silk Road leading to the Northern Western Regions.

Now this world can make a jade road, it may not be impossible to reproduce the prosperity of the previous life, Xu Xian is looking forward to seeing the scene in the history books of the previous life in this northern Yumen Pass.

"Zhang Si, do you see that is His Highness?"

An old pawn on the city tower was smoking a dry cigarette leisurely, I don't know when the ground began to shake lightly, there was a layer of ash on the earthen wall falling down, the old pawn got up very quickly and subconsciously wanted to run to the bell tower.

"Your Highness?"

"It's only been a long time, how can it be so fast?"

The old soldier called Zhang Si rubbed his eyes, and looked at countless horses on the Gobi by the cold moonlight, and there were many fewer people, but from a distance, the scale was indeed a lot larger, and there were no less than sixty or seventy thousand horses.

"Mr. Ma?"

"Look at Xu Zi Daxuan!"

The red-clothed and black-armored Liangzhou iron cavalry approached, all of them were one person and three horses, coming down to the city, and there were more than a thousand Liangzhou veterans left in the depths of the Gobi in the north under the leadership of a captain with horses and a large number of cattle and sheep were rushing in the direction of Liangzhou, the barbarian has been broken the backbone of the road is also safe, speaking of which, the biggest harvest of this battle is not less than 100,000 brute horses.

The horses of the barbarians are quite similar to the Mongolian horses, they have a large head and a short neck, a strong physique, a wide chest, a long mane, thick skin and thick hair, and live for a long time in the Gobi, where the temperature difference between day and night is very large.

Later, if you want to go on the Long March, this batch of horses can be used as auxiliary horses, whether it is a long-distance run or a negative armor weight, when charging in the replacement of Liangzhou's high-headed horses, the improvement of cavalry mobility and combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, if you have laid down the country of Daqing, the rest of the time to improve the horses may make the world's first-class Liangzhou iron cavalry directly on the crotch a step, invincible.

"Go and open the gates!"

The old pawn shouted loudly on the city tower, looking at the Liangzhou Iron Rider who was obviously much sparse under the city, his eyes were slightly red, although the Liangzhou man went to make a meritorious career, but it was more of a horse leather shroud.

When his eyes fell on the hundreds of cool heavy armored cavalry who did not have an inch of armor, it was even more tearful, what did His Majesty look like when he tightened his belt to raise these 3,600 heavy armored iron cavalry, you must know that the heavy armored iron cavalry is piled up with silver, and the silver spent on a thick armor can support more than ten Liangzhou light cavalry and dozens of ordinary foot soldiers.

"Squeak squeak......"

The heavy gates slowly opened inward,

"Your Highness, this is the military situation in Liangzhou in recent days. ”

A man in a black cloth shirt was standing quietly at the gate of the city, seeing Xu Xian riding his horse, respectfully kneeling on one knee and handing out a secret letter in his hand, his eyes lingered for a long time on the mottled armor and dry blood stains of the Liangzhou iron cavalry behind Xu Xian.

In the end, it fell on the head of a red-haired person hanging on Xu Xianma's side, and he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore, and was completely stunned in place.

When he raised his head, his eyes were a little respectful again, and even a little fanaticism in the depths of his eyes, if the attitude of the Liangzhou soldiers towards Xu Xian in the past was due to his status as His Royal Highness, now it has become the recognition of this person.

"Please take a closer look at Your Highness!"

"The subordinates have been waiting at Yumen Pass for a long time, and the Commander Bai has already instructed that every day, there will be personnel from the Liangzhou Espionage Department to send the latest military information here, so that His Highness can understand the current situation in detail when he returns. ”

"Well, where is the Hundred Commanders now?"

Xu Xian opened the letter printed with fire paint and asked casually.

"Your Highness, after dealing with the affairs of the capital, the hundred commanders have now gone to the area of Humen Pass to prepare for the entry of the Liangzhou army. ”

The spy leader knows everything, and his recognition of Xu Xian in his heart is much higher than Bai Xiaosheng's, after all, he is an authentic Liangzhou son, which is also the reason why Xu Xian asked Bai Xiaosheng to select saucers from the Liangzhou army, so as not to be thrown off at the end, and it seems that it is still very fruitful at the moment.

What's more, after Xu Xian returned from this trip to the barbarian Golden Horde, his prestige in the army would rise a few steps.

"Chaos leads the enemy?"

"Hiranohara!"

Xu Xian looked at the military situation on the paper and was slightly stunned.

"The soldiers and horses of the two towns plus 2,400 heavily armored iron cavalry ambushed the plains, and there were not too many mistakes in thinking. ”

Xu Xian muttered to himself.

"Uncle Ma, if I'm not mistaken, the closest pass to Hiranohara to flee back to Sanchuan County is Qingxia, right?"

Xu Xian stared at the map, when Chen Wenzhi's troops came out of the mountains and rivers, wealth was already an inevitable thing, it was nothing more than a matter of time, and now that Chen Wenzhi sacrificed his life to chase down the rout of the Plains, it was already a sure thing, where could he think that the entire northern border army had been exhausted, and all of them were waiting for him there.

"Well, Qingxia, there is a Nancheng outside Qingxia!"

Ma Youliang pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Does Your Highness mean to go to Wangnan City and wait for Chen Wenzhi?"

"Naturally!"

"Although Daddy has sent men and horses to guard Wangnan City, I still have to be completely prepared, so as not to let Wang Ba go back to the shell. ”

"I'll leave the matter of Hirano Yuan to my father, with Chen Wenzhi's stability in using troops, he must have sent troops to Wangnancheng, let's go to cut off his back road this time, as for the way back to Shanheguan, I can't go back after chasing and thinking about it. Xu Xian carefully looked at the trend of the mountains and rivers on the map, and the distance of the march said categorically.

Iron rode into the city, but did not have too much rest, after leaving the wooden box containing the ashes of Liangzhou Erlang in the city, he went straight to the direction of Wangnan City, riding one person and three horses, the war horse was an air ride, the second horse was riding, and then the horse was heavy.

The remaining 600 heavy armored cavalry were one person and four horses, the war horse was in the air seat, the second horse was ridden, and the remaining two horses were carrying the vest and the battle armor respectively, which was luxurious to the extreme.

The Iron Rider is mighty,

Just after the baptism of the blood of the barbarians, a murderous aura seemed to be overwhelming towards Wangnan City.

......

Hiranohara,

"Gong Chen, is this a ghost fire?"

Wei Mingfu looked at the pale blue fire rising from the hills in the distance and spoke.

Chen Wenzhi ignored it, his right eyelid suddenly beat tighter and tighter, and a strong uneasiness rose in his heart.

"Gonggong Wei didn't know that the mountain barbarians in this place for 100 years entered the border of Liangzhou to burn and loot, and drove tens of thousands of Liangzhou people here, tied their hands and feet to kill with iron horses for fun, and there were several mass graves to bury the people alive here. ”

Since then, the Plains have been plagued by ghosts, and legend has it that innocent people roamed the land in the form of lonely ghosts. ”

The veteran of Yisanchuan County behind him opened his mouth to explain, although there were countless armies behind him, looking at the ghost fire floating in the air still made people's hearts chill inexplicably.

"Speaking of which, after the northland butcher came, after the people of the town Chen Yu Yumen Pass, the barbarian has never set foot in the land of Liangzhou, and these unjust souls should also rest in peace. ”

The veteran muttered.

"Yumen Pass?"

"Yumen Pass!"

Chen Wenzhi seemed to have caught something, and kept chanting the name of this place.

"Suffered!"

Chen Wenzhi suddenly woke up and shouted.

meanwhile

Outside the hill in the distance, more than 2,400 heavily armored iron horsemen were already fully clothed, and the horses under their crotches were full of rough breath, and the restless hind hooves stepped on the ground and Kusuke flew up.

A Xu character Daxu rises from the back of the hill,

Xu Wu rode his horse under the big sword, looking coldly at the thousands of torches in the Makino Plains below.

"Wang Ba left the iron shell and gave up the new shell. ”

"It's time to swallow this fat. ”

Xu Wu's right hand was raised high,

The Liangzhou heavy-armored iron cavalry pulled down the cold mask, and the eyes without the slightest emotion stared closely at the thousands of torches and countless Qing soldiers, and on the plain, how could they resist the charge of the heavy-armored iron cavalry?

"Kill!"

Xu Wu's right hand was pressed down, and a word was coldly spit out in his mouth.

"Knock! knock! knock!"

The Liangzhou heavy armored iron cavalry began to charge,

The horse's hooves stepped down like spring thunder,

The icy steel behemoth showed off his razor-sharp fangs in the night by moonlight.

"This is a monster?"

There was an old soldier in front of him who shouted in horror, the heavy cavalry had seen it, but the cavalry covered under the black heavy armor was simply unheard of, what kind of fucking demon and monster was this?

Just when the old pawn looked south and returned home, he was horrified to find that there were fine small black dots on the hills in the distance, like a swarm of ants, but when he got closer, he found that all the Liangzhou light cavalry in red clothes and black armor were all in front of him, and the Liangzhou rebels who had fled all the way in front of him also stabilized their minds at the moment they saw Daxu, and turned their horses to look at the Daqing cavalry hanging behind them, grinning, and their white teeth were cold.

"Gong Chen, this?"

Wei Mingfu was also completely stunned, looking at this battle of tens of thousands of ambush soldiers.

"Ahem......"

A mouthful of old blood suddenly spit out from Chen Wenzhi's mouth, and the whole body shook violently and almost fell to the ground, and the already sick body burst out at this moment.

Wei Mingfu hurriedly supported Chen Wenzhi, and the worry in his eyes was overflowing.

"No problem!"

Chen Wenzhi stabilized his figure and looked around.

"This Xu Wu is afraid that he has transferred the people and horses in the area of Yumen Pass. ”

"It's the old man who is confused!"

"Then Xu Wu's marching army is like an antelope hanging its horns. ”

"The old man should have expected him to make a dangerous move. ”

"Now there must be no soldiers in the area of Yumen Pass in the north, and once the barbarians go south, I am afraid that Liangzhou will be ruined again. ”

Chen Wenzhi looked at the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry that was overwhelming all around, and then looked at the soldiers who were in a hurry around him and sighed.

"General Chen, go back to Sanchuan County!"

"After I made a decision, I returned to Sanchuan County, and with the strength of Chen Gong, I may not be able to delay for a while, waiting for the imperial court to recruit soldiers and horses!"

Behind him, a veteran general stepped forward and said, he had completely lost hope of forming a formation to meet the enemy, and the queue of the army had been stretched extremely long when he was pursuing, and once the iron cavalry crashed into the formation, it would form a beaded jade curtain, and the army was defeated like a mountain, and there was no power in a battle.

"I'm afraid there is no chance, so I went back to Sanchuan County. ”

"The army was lost in this battle, and the court didn't know how long it would take to raise soldiers and horses. ”

"What's more, the army was defeated here, and what kind of face did the old man have to return to the imperial court to the thousands of people in Daqing, and to Qin Xiang. ”

"General Chen, go back to Sanchuan County!"

"Lord Chen,......"

The crowd fell to their knees and pleaded,

Wei Mingfu watched the cold giant beast in front of him crash into the formation, and instantly set off a bloody storm, countless stumps and broken arms flew up, wailing everywhere, even the lightly clothed dead soldiers who were not afraid of life and death could hardly block the heavy armored iron cavalry, and the Liangzhou light cavalry that followed behind was even more difficult for the Chinese army to breathe with a rain of arrows.

The offensive is like a storm,

There is no previous grain cart as a barrier, and the shield soldiers are the front row,

The thin lineup formed by the more than 10,000 spearmen assembled in a hurry could not resist at all, and it collapsed at the first touch.

"Gong Chen, please keep the last national fortune for Daqing!"

Suddenly,

Wei Mingfu knelt on the ground and looked up with grief in his eyes.

The skull slammed into the ground, and the rubble was deeply embedded, and the blood flowed profusely.

"Please also ask Chen Gong to reserve the last point of national fortune for Daqing!"

Wei Mingfu spoke again,

A group of veterans and thousands of guards around him also knelt on the ground together.

......

"This is Wangnan City?"

Xu Wu looked at the brazier lit up on the city tower from afar, countless Daqing military flags fluttering at the head of the city, and looked closely at the scorched black traces of the oil burning on the city wall, and the city wall was still scattered with rolling stones and wood, and the corpses of the soldiers had not yet had time to converge.

It was a fierce battle to defend the city,

The mountains of corpses speak for themselves.

The Qing army in the city was already tired from attacking the city, and before he had time to rest, he saw Liangzhou with a Liangzhou iron cavalry that seemed to be a real murderous aura, and his heart was shocked.

"Siege the city. ”

"Sikong senior, I'm tired!"

Xu Xian said directly without any hesitation, and handed out the equinox knife at his waist.

Sikong Xingxing took the equinox knife and endured the sharp pain in his shoulder and entered the city wall.

The heavily armored iron rider began to put on his armor and put on his crotch.

The Liangzhou light cavalry surrounded the city and constantly detoured, shooting back with arrows to suppress the soldiers on the city tower.

The cavalry siege is a fantasy,

However, there is no moat surrounding the southern city, and once the city gate is captured and the ravines are filled, you can enter the city.

Sikong Xingxing gritted his teeth and stood up on tiptoe, and the equinox knife was cut on the suspension bridge, and the heavy rope was broken in response.

"Boom ......"

The drawbridge collapsed with a bang, and puffs of smoke and dust rolled up.

The guards on the tower were terrified.

Qiao Feng in front of him is like a dragon,

Behind him, the heavily armored iron cavalry followed closely behind, and the arrow landed on the iron armor, making a sound of gold and iron.

A powerful palm slammed against the city gate,

Gravel fell, the city shook and the gates crumbled.

There was a palm, and a crack broke in the gate,

The heavily armored iron rider slammed straight into the breach,

The gates of the city are broken,

The moment the heavily armored iron horse stepped into the city gate, Xu Xian knew that Wangnan City was already in his pocket.

......

"Gong Chen, it's here!"

"Ten miles ahead is Wangnan City!"

After fighting all night, under the desperate escort of countless old soldiers, he finally escaped from the plains while the night was dark.

"Hmm!"

"The old man is still ashamed of Qin Xiang's kindness after all!"

Chen Wenzhi looked at the hundreds of soldiers and more than 10,000 remnants of the soldiers who were covered in blood around him, and there were Liangzhou chasing soldiers behind him, the army did not know how many casualties were lost, but it had been completely scattered by the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry.

Near,

Not enough to look at the south city five miles,

"The Commander has been dispatched. ”

"Why haven't you seen General Wang's troops leading troops to meet each other?"

Someone wondered.

"It's ......"

The remnants of the army advanced a long distance, looking at the Xu Zida floating on the city wall and the scattered Liangzhou soldiers, everyone felt like death.

"It seems that the destiny of heaven is so. ”

Someone collapsed to the ground in decadence.

"Chen Gong!"

Wei Mingfu also sighed, and his face turned pale.

dull

"Squeak squeak......"

The gates of the city are opened,

The towers are empty,

There are still blood stains on the iron armor of the heavy armor and iron horseman,

There is no shouting of killing,

It's just silently rushing towards the rout!

There are more than 10,000 Liangzhou light horses behind him!

"Huh!"

On a small hill,

Chen Wenzhi licked his chapped lips and looked around, the only hundreds of guards left around him,

There were dead bodies all around.

Chen Wenzhi looked at the black iron horse under the hill, got up and sorted out his clothes, and saluted the south.

silent

The battlefield is a dead silence,

Xu Xian rode his horse and just waited quietly, Chen Wenzhi and others should give him a decent person.

"This battle is lost by the old man!"

"However, I still hope that the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry will enter the customs first. ”

Chen Wenzhi looked at Xu Xian for a long time before he spoke.

"The barbarians have been pacified!"

A red-haired head rolled to the ground, Chen Wenzhi looked at it from afar, his breathing was slightly short, and then he smiled again, this is Xu Wu's style, he still looked down on him before, how could he ignore the people of Liangzhou, and only win or lose.

"Thanks!"

Chen Wenzhi looked at Xu Xian, his lips opened lightly, and he bowed.

"Gong Chen, it's not a crime of war!"

"Kill the barbarians, as it should be!"

Xu Xian leaned sideways and only half-accepted this salute.

"Your Highness can think so. ”

In this way, the old man was relieved. ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Wenzhi turned over and got on his horse, and launched a final charge with hundreds of iron horses.

Arrows rain down,

Airless

Man turns on his back,

"Ho Ho ......"

Chen Wenzhi, who was at the forefront, was covered with arrows all over his body, and a mouthful of blood was left from the corner of his mouth.

Falling from the horse, with his hands in his arms,

A letter was slowly taken out,

Bloodstained, but Chen Wenzhi was inexplicably at ease.

Victory, if you don't get drunk in Beijing, you won't return, and the old man will greet you for ten miles.

Defeated, to repay the country horse leather shroud, the old man died on the festival of righteousness!

"The old man can't go to Beijing to drink, so he has to wrap his body in horse leather, which will affect Qin Xiang!"

"The old man is ashamed of the court!"

"The old man is ashamed of Duke Qin!"

"But what about the people of the world?"

"Chen doesn't know what happened after his death, I hope I am ashamed. ”

Looking at the blood between the lines of black and white,

There is a distant look at Xu Xian,

Chen Wenzhi smiled freely.

Wei Mingfu stood alone on the hill and looked at Chen Wenzhi's corpse and wept silently.

Hearing the death, there is no strong city in the gate!

Smell the death, and Daqing is dead!

Before coming to the Northland, Qin Xiang whispered softly,

It rang in Wei Mingfu's ears for a long time.
