Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 455 God bless me, Emperor Song!

Hengshui.

"Boom, boom..." Zhong Shidao had already fallen asleep, and was suddenly awakened by the eager knocking on the door in his sleep.

"What happened?" Master Zhong asked loudly before he even stood up.His subordinates are all old men who have been with him for many years. Unless something major happens, they will not be in such a hurry.

"My lord, the envoy envoy has sent an urgent report that a light cavalry from Liangshan bandits has entered Jizhou territory. Not long ago, they attacked General Wang in a surprise attack, and the latter's entire army has been wiped out."

"What!" Zhong Shidao froze all over, his eyes widened and his eyelids disappeared for a moment.

A troop of the Liangshan army had already arrived in Jizhou and killed Wang Bao to the point of annihilation. This was beyond his expectation. "Okay, what a Lu Qian." It really ruined another good general of the imperial court.Really hateful!
"My lord, I have to send troops to Taoyangdu immediately. The envoy sent someone to call the police, but I want my lord to be more careful. After this Liangshan bandit rides through General Wang, if it goes all the way north, whether it is to fight Wuyi and cross the river , Entering Shenzhou; or crossing from Taoyang to the west, and attacking Hengshui, it will be a catastrophe."

Master Zhong summoned the generals from Hengshui City to come, and the brave general Cookie took the lead in speaking.This person is unknown in later generations, but many people will know about his brother, and that is Qu Duan.

Right now Qu Duan has also emerged in the Western Army, but there is obviously no place for him to sit in front of Zhong Shidao.

"It doesn't matter. The soldiers and horses in Hengshui City are gathered together. If there is no five thousand, there are three thousand. The Lu thief came with only a light cavalry, how can I stand in Hengshui?" Kind of teacher is a kind of teacher, what he said can be called Xinducheng Among those Jizhou officials, they lost all face.Although they probably don't care.

"It's the ones who need to be careful when they go north to Shenzhou." Although there are thousands of cavalry, they should not be underestimated.

When Master Zhong said this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, "Now that things have happened, God will not help me get rid of the thieves. Now that the Liangshan bandit cavalry has arrived, how long can the Liangshan bandit army be behind? Our army has been fighting hard for many days under Jing'an City. , the soldiers are so many that they are exhausted, and they cannot resist the force of the bandit army without rest and recuperation. I want to withdraw the troops and store up our strength to wait for the bandit army from the mainland. What do you think?"

The urgent report to inform Liu Yanqing had already been sent out, but the current decision was made by Zhong Shidao after hesitating for a long time.As soon as the words came out, there was an exclamation.Even Tan Zhen, the eunuch who supervised the army, was taken aback. He was really decisive in being a teacher.

"My lord, think twice. Jing'an City is at the end of a strong crossbow, and our Western Army will be finished before our eyes..."

There is a lot of opposition, and no one is willing to give up the great achievement that is about to be obtained.People die for money, birds die for food, let alone the army?
But how can it feel good to feel like a teacher?If the two armies Zhang Suo and Tong Guan are still there, more than 3 troops will join the left-behind troops of Daming Mansion, a total of 5 people, who will only defend and not attack. Unless Lu Qian is a living god, he will definitely not be able to succeed easily.Moreover, the army of 5 to [-] people is also a powerful force, preventing the Liangshan Army from crossing the Daming Mansion and heading north without authorization.But now all that is gone.

Daming Mansion Xu has not yet fallen, but the strength of the troops in the city is no longer sufficient.The Liangshan army sent a division to stay outside the city. The army could have come straight north, or the whole army would have come without leaving the garrison of the Daming Mansion at all. Would Zhang Suo dare to lead troops to pursue it?
"Miscalculation, miscalculation." Master Zhong couldn't help complaining in his heart.When he heard earlier that the Liangshan Army was gathering troops in Yanggu, he was still calm and didn't take it seriously.He thought that the Liangshan Army was just "fishing for fame" rather than sincerely seeking Tian Hu.But who ever thought that he would do such a thing?A group of light cavalry marching northward, as if it were a sword flying from the sky, it is so ecstatic.

……

Yellow River, Taoyang Ferry.

The bright torches turned half of the sky red, and hundreds of ships gathered by Lu Qian from around were gathered at the ferry.

The trembling boatmen were afraid and watched curiously as Liang Shanjun was busy up and down their boats.

"Quick, quick, tighten it, tighten it!"

"Mao Er Er put the raft on..."

"Dangdang, clangdang..., another long nail."

"One more hammer, one more hammer, this wedge is not enough!"

On the water surface of the ferry, cavalry soldiers of the Liangshan Army turned into craftsmen, linking small boats with ropes and iron chains, increasing their buoyancy with inflated sheepskin bags, and covering them with planks and rafts, just like those in the Three Kingdoms storybook. The shrunken version of the chain boat.

One of the modified small boats can carry ten riders across the river.And there are cargo ships and convoys rebuilt from transport ships, one of which can carry a hundred riders.

Just because of time.Before Lu Qian had completely renovated the hundreds of ships under his command, a Western army had arrived on the other side of Taoyang Ferry.

Not only did a Western army come from the other side of Taoyang Ferry, but Liu Yanqing also personally led a Western army across the Yellow River from Wuyi Ferry and rushed towards Taoyang Ferry from the north.

Nothing incredible.The military order to cultivate teachers' morals was passed to the front of the battle, but none of the frontline generals such as Liu Yanqing and Yang Weizhong were willing to do so.Zhong Shidao is a man who has been in the war for a long time, so he naturally knows how to resolve grievances on the front line.In this way, he drew a big round cake for Liu Yanqing and other generals - Lu Qian stopped his troops at Taoyang Ferry, and you quickly mobilized elite soldiers and generals to cross the river from Wuyi and go south to attack the bandits.He also said that opportunities should not be lost and will never come back.

Lu Qian's temptation really offset the unwillingness of Liu Yanqing and others to a certain extent.

Of course, someone thought about the problem of Lu Qian's escape, and he is not a fool. When your army is attacking, why do people have legs?King Lu is not Tian Hu in Jing'an City.

Even Liu Yanqing thought of this after the initial excitement.But they didn't expect that Lu Qian didn't escape.

"God bless me, Huang Song!"

The teacher Zhong Dao in Hengshui City was so excited that he couldn't control his excitement anymore. "If you lose your horse, you will know it is not a blessing, and if you lose your horse, you will know it is not a blessing..." This drink, one peck, one gain and one loss, it is all determined by God.

Lu Qian came to the north with a sword, caught him off guard, and was so embarrassed that all the cooked ducks in Jing'an City would fly away.But this guy is so bold, with only three or four thousand cavalry, he dared to stay at Taoyang Ferry for a long time, and even rebuilt the transport ship in a big way, as if he was going to kill him on the other side, God helped me.

I drew a big pie for the frontline departments, but I never thought that the fake would come true.Master Zhong was overjoyed.

Luan Junshi straightened his horse's head slightly, looking at the cavalry of the Western Army a mile ahead with a serious expression.

The cavalry of the Western Army are not useless. These Kansai big men have been fighting with Dang Xiang for a long time, and they are quite capable of fighting. The combat effectiveness is far from what the Gyeonggi cavalry can compare.

And the cavalry of the Western Army right now is the elite who entered the pass to quell the chaos. Now they have crossed the Yellow River and went south to kill Lu Qian. One can imagine their combat power.

Luan Junshi raised his hand and touched the corner of his eye. There was an inch-long scar there. It was just when he was leading the Xiaoqi battalion to chase the western army's scout horses, one of them turned around and shot an arrow.In an instant, if not for his luck, the arrow would have nailed him in the face.

Although Xie Yuan didn't do well.The sergeants under Luan Junshi threw arrows at him in a crowd. He was not wearing heavy armor like infantry armor. When he was riding a horse and running away desperately, he felt four or five arrows hit him.Although the leather armor covered his body, two arrows penetrated the leather armor and hit the shoulders and back.At that time, there was a sharp pain that pierced through the lungs.But fortunately, he got off the horse and ran as usual without being hit by an arrow.

As a native of Deqing Village of the Hedong Security Army, Xie Yuan joined the army ten years ago.But a hero is useless, and ten years of hard work is just a small waiter. If it is not for the chaos in Hedong, he will not be valued by Zhao Ming, the commander of the selection army under Zhong Shidao, and transferred to the Western Army. For the battalion commander.

In the more than [-] years since the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, the organizational system of the Song army has long been developed and adjusted from the initial five-army formation, front, rear, left, right, and middle, to a six-army formation, that is, the formation of the front, rear, left, and middle armies plus the selection of the front army.The latter has no one out of ten, but he is the most elite of the army.

If you use one word to describe it, Xiandeng is the most appropriate.

As the battalion commander of the Western Army's Selected Front Army, Xie Yuan almost abolished Luan Junshi with an arrow. He has no exact military position, and only a young general with the same battalion rank and one eye seems to be fine.

The only difference is that Jie Yuan did not expect that the Liangshan Army's horse was so powerful that it was no slower than the Hequ horse under his crotch.In this way, being only bitten twice by arrows shot by a swarm of swarms without losing your life is already a great blessing among misfortunes.

Fortunately, the arrows of the Liangshan Army's cavalry were all soft bows and light arrows following the Song Army's route. They had a range, but their lethality was not high.Lu Qian remembers that Mongolian bows are awesome, but now there are no Mongolian bows.His only strategy is to assign the task, and ask the master craftsmen of the military inspector to create a riding bow that is easy to draw and shoot on horseback, and has a good range.Before that, they had only followed the route of the Song army-soft bow and light arrow.

Otherwise, Xie Yuan would have died long ago.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep..."

The sound of the copper trumpet spread throughout the entire team, and the Liangshan Army cavalry of a few hundred people began to organize their queues, forming a long five-row formation, with 20 people riding up and down in each row.

Spears and sabers gleamed in the late autumn sun.

The first row all carried spears measuring one foot and two feet. The four rows behind them were dominated by sabers with thickened backs. The cavalry in the same row were only three feet apart from each other. The first three rows of cavalry - the front and rear rows were three feet apart from each other. , and the two rows in the back were stretched to a distance of ten feet.

Luan Junshi came ten steps in front of the formation and looked at the Western cavalry arrayed opposite, his eyes calm.The Western Army also organized their troops into formation, but their formation was far less orderly than that of the Xiaoqi Battalion.They are equal in arms and horses, and Luan Jun is really confident.

You must know that the training of the latter is already changing towards modern cavalry.Lu Qian's requirement for them is no longer proficiency in bow and horse, but uniformity like an elite infantry.

Although the Xiaoqi Battalion at this moment is far from reaching the standard in his heart.
