I'm playing tricks in Daqin

The coalition forces only rested for one day, and on the second day they set up a large number of thunderbolt chariots, launched disc grinding boulders and fireballs, and bombarded Jiankang City indiscriminately.

The Tang Han army who attacked the city did not have the slightest psychological pressure. Anyway, the city is not theirs, and the people in the city are not theirs.

The Zhou army who besieged the city also had no psychological burden. Foreign enemies invaded and the loss of the country was a great shame. Now that there are powerful coalition forces to help in the battle, no matter how much they pay, they must recover Jiankang City, even if it is just a bad city. The important thing is to have the military exploits of recovery and have an account in front of the king.

The tragic offensive and defensive battle caused heavy losses to both sides, but at this point, the huge consumption of war-damaged soldiers and supplies is just a number in the eyes of those in power.

Shang Xingyun also knew that in order to cover the safe retreat of the main force, Xia Houheng ransacked all over the territory of Moyun County, causing the world to turn upside down. The more noise he made, the higher the probability of the main force's safe withdrawal.

However, a large number of infantry troops urgently recruited by the four counties of Yanyun and Moyun in Shuzhou, Pennsylvania have been dispatched together, and they are steadily advancing towards Moyun County, squeezing the room for Xia Houheng's troops to move. The longer he stays in Moyun County, the The greater the risk factor of encirclement and annihilation.

The only thing Shang Xingyun can do is to pray for Xia Houheng to jump out of the encirclement as soon as possible and come back alive.

He looked up at the sky, it was almost evening, and the best time to evacuate was within a few days, and it would be dangerous if he missed it.

With a big wave of his hand, he gave the order to retreat, "Let's go!"

Chapter 3 Zero One Safe Evacuation

In Luoping County under the jurisdiction of Shuzhou County, on the main road leading to the border, thousands of forced migrant workers are working hard under the whips of soldiers. The roads are blocked.

The sudden sound of rumbling hooves made the morale of the overseer pale and bloodless, and thousands of civilians also stopped their work and instinctively moved closer to the woods.

Once a war breaks out, they can immediately dive into the woods and escape for their lives.

Shang Yun, who was wearing the unique standard equipment of the Imperial Forest Cavalry of the Jin Empire, took the lead, and surrounded by dozens of guards, swaggered to a stop on the road.

With a bang, Shang Xingyun twitched the horsewhip in his hand, making an ear-piercing sound, which also shocked the nervous soldiers around.

A lieutenant-level officer tremblingly said: "You..."

"Bastard, how do you work? It's been so long and you haven't built the fort yet? Call your Shangguan to Lao Tzu!"

The whip in Shang Xingyun's hand pointed directly at the officer, looking very arrogant.

It is no wonder that he is so arrogant and arrogant. Yulinqi is the emperor's pro-army, and his treatment is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary troops. Moreover, most of Yulinqi's officers are from aristocratic families or the sons of noble officials. It is normal for the ministers to be so domineering and domineering.

King Jin's [-] imperial cavalry were wiped out, but soon formed a new imperial cavalry. They also dispatched the most elite [-] feather forest guards, vowing to wipe out the Tang army and use the corpses to light sky lanterns.

Everyone, including the captain-level officer, was overwhelmed by the arrogance of the Imperial Forest Cavalry in front of them, but at the same time they also quietly took a breath. It turned out that they were their own, although they were so arrogant that they wanted to kill But at any rate they are not enemies, at least there will be no accidents and they will be punished by the prefect.

"Chen Lang will... go to check the other fortresses..."

The captain groaned to cover for his own Shangguan. After the game of mahjong spread, it has become a good thing for high-ranking officials and rich people to entertain and entertain. His own Shangguan is very addicted, and he doesn't play it several times a day. Can't sleep.

The arrogance of the royal cavalry officer in front of him made him very unhappy, but he didn't dare to offend him. However, it was necessary to vent his anger once.

"I'll give you three days. You must build the fortress. Otherwise, you won't be able to walk around after the superiors investigate."

Shang Xingyun snorted coldly, he was just bluffing, and he didn't plan to meet General Chen Lang in the first place.

"My lord, do you still want to check in front?"

A guard chimed in at the right moment.

"Of course we have to check. I'll see who dares to be lazy, hehe."

Shang Xingyun complained cursingly, led the cavalry through the fortress that was still under construction, and left.

After annihilating [-] royal cavalry, Xia Houheng reminded him that he ordered the soldiers to strip off the corpses' underwear and standard equipment, and then gather the corpses for incineration. Unexpectedly, these things were actually used today.

Everyone stood aside, silently watching the arrogant "King of the Royal Forest"

Speeding past in front of you.

Although the imperial knights were arrogant and hateful, many soldiers still showed envy in their eyes. They were tall horses with bright armor, and each of them was leading four or five horses. The backpacks on the horses were bulging, and they walked all the way from the imperial capital. Coming here, I'm afraid I've hit a lot of Qiufeng.

The captain scratched his head. For some reason, he always felt a little weird, but he didn't know where the strange thing was. He couldn't think of a reason for a while, so he ordered the civilian men to start working immediately.

Shang Xingyun and his party easily passed the first fortress, and ran forward for nearly two miles. A fortress that had already been built was blocked in the middle of the road. The Jin soldiers in the fortress raised their bows and picked up arrows. The enemy is nervous.

Shang Xingyun repeated the old plan. After approaching the fortress, he saw that there were not many Jin soldiers inside, only about 500, and they all relaxed again and made an attack gesture.

The five hundred Jin soldiers would never have thought that their own people would suddenly attack them, they were caught off guard, and most of them were cut down, and the rest threw down their weapons and went into the woods beside the road to escape for their lives.

How could Shang Xingyun have time to pay attention to these deserters, and ordered his subordinates to set up the banner of the Tang army, and then led the tiger and leopard cavalry to leave. After running for several miles, they entered the border of the Zhou Empire.

Although the borders of the Jin Empire entered the land of the Zhou Empire, this does not mean safety. The Jin Empire has heavily guarded the borders and can send out pursuit at any time, but in order to reduce the pressure on Xia Houheng's troops, he must do so. Do it, this is the only way to help Xia Houheng.

When the news came out, a group of civilian men and overseers who were building the fortress were completely shocked, and the captain who led the team was even ashamed and trembling all over. This time, he was doomed.

I don't know who took the lead. Thousands of people threw away the tools and weapons in their hands, like an ant colony whose nest had been blown up, and ran away with a coax.

Your Majesty hated this Tang Army Cavalry to the bone, and vowed to wipe them all out, and use their corpses to light sky lanterns. Now, this hateful Tang Army Cavalry fled from their defense area, Your Majesty must be furious. If they were punished, it would be strange if they didn't lose the food on their necks, and they would be fools if they didn't escape.

Ying Yanglang, who was in charge of defending this area, received Duan Wei's report from his subordinates. He was also terrified, his calf cramped, and he planned to abandon his official position and flee for his life.

The poor captain who was loyal to him and a group of soldiers were falsely accused by him of being traitors bought by the Tang army, and he mobilized Qi Mo's army to round up and hunt them down. Shoot to kill, and make an iron case of death without proof.

After the Shanghang Yun led the tiger and leopard cavalry into the Zhou Empire, they bypassed the heavily fortified Jiankang City of the Jin Empire and galloped eastward along the border. The war horse ran a hundred miles away.

Entering the territory of Longjiang County, which is still controlled by the Zhou army, Shang Xingyun and his party changed into the cavalry standard equipment of the Qin Empire, but they still fought under the banner of the Tang Empire. It was not until the prefect of Longjiang sent someone to greet him that Shang Xingyun was relieved atmosphere.

The reason why the battle flag of the Tang Empire was unfurled, Shang Xingyun's explanation was that he was worried about causing misunderstandings by the coalition forces and being attacked unjustly.

This explanation makes sense, anyway, they are all coalition forces, so you can do whatever you want, as long as you help the empire fight the Jin Empire.

Shang Xingyun and his party did not stop, they bypassed Longjiang City and arrived at the riverside, boarded the corresponding merchant ship, and returned home safely.

The prefect guarding Longjiang City also took a deep breath, and then counted the piles of gold, silver and jewels given to him by Shang Xingyun with a smile. He also got a lot of benefits, and he was full of affection for the generous cavalry commander.

Chapter 3 Pie in the Sky

The tiger and leopard cavalry withdrew safely, and Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He went to the pier to greet all the tiger and leopard soldiers who had returned. Once again successfully bought people's hearts.

As for the hundreds of special night bugs still remaining in the Jin Empire, he is not worried at all. These hundreds of special night bugs all have various identities as cover, and they can lie down on the spot, or hide in deep mountains and old forests for a while. There is no problem for a year and a half.

Shang Xingyun briefly stated the course of action and the situation of the battle damage, and after presenting five or six maps marking the exact location of the buried gold, silver and jewels, he stepped back to rest.

For Xia Houheng's unauthorized actions, even if Li Wei was upset, he could only let out a helpless sigh, and wait until this guy is alive to come back.

"Little Six, hand over all these stuffs to Commander Shang to handle by himself."

Li Wei's fingers were all over the table, and bags of gold, silver and jewelry had been sorted out. These stuffs were worth at least 300 million yuan, and the gold and silver alone could not be less than a million yuan. This was the last thing Shang Xingyun did before retreating. Because they left suddenly and the quantity was not too heavy, they simply brought them back.

"Yes."

Xiao Liuzi responded with a sound, summoned several guards, and moved out more than a dozen bags of gold and silver.

Li Wei cast a glance at Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was standing beside her pretty. The pretty face of the big beauty was full of surprise. He grinned and said calmly, "They deserve it."

The tiger and leopard cavalry gambled with their lives, how much more than ten times what they earned for him?It is estimated that there are twenty times as much, so what is a reward of a hundred thousand taels of silver?

The little six came back soon, his face flushed with excitement, it is estimated that Shang Xingyun gave him a gold ingot, even if Li Wei knew, he would not say anything, eunuch, without that thing, naturally he is not sentimental towards girls Interesting, but like things like gold and silver, as long as it is not too much, he will not see it.

Li Wei is not the only one who is in a good mood, King Zhou is also in a good mood. With the strong support of the coalition forces, the imperial army has successfully recovered the important town of Qing'an.

Although the Jin army had to voluntarily abandon the defense due to lack of food, it was recovered at any rate, which greatly inspired the hearts of the army and the people.

The king of Zhou was very touched by the strong support of the friendly army, especially the cavalry army of the Tang Empire. It was a lone army that went deep into the hinterland of the Jin Empire, causing a great disturbance and successfully intercepting and burning [-] shi of rations. It is a real great achievement. Such a friendly army , not only to praise vigorously, but also to reward.

King Zhou knew that the empire's finances were tight, but he couldn't help being in a good mood. With a wave of his hand, he generously rewarded 15 taels of silver.

The messenger arrived at the capital of the Tang Emperor with his imperial letter and reward silver, and presented it to the Tang king, who was also Longyan Dayue, and escorted the 5 taels of silver reward to the front line.

For this inexplicable great achievement that fell from the sky, the coach who led the reinforcements blushed a little, but accepted it calmly. The reward of 5000 taels of silver was transferred to the cavalry who had made great "war exploits".

The reward of 5000 taels of silver was deducted by the officers layer by layer, and there were more than a hundred copper coins per soldier in the hands of the soldiers. However, this inexplicable great achievement was earned for nothing.

Many people were laughing, but Xia Houheng was miserable like a bereaved dog. He was chased by the newly formed imperial cavalry of King Jin and fled everywhere, and he didn't even have time to urinate.

Among the three hundred subordinates, except for 21 soldiers who were seriously injured, unable to move with the team, had to abandon their horses, weapons and armor, and hid in the deep mountains and old forests, there are only five people who can still follow him now, and the rest are all killed. The embrace of the God of Longevity.

Xia Houheng knew that he had to take on the task of covering the main force's evacuation, so he was very careful, ransacked several counties outside the border of Moyun County, and immediately dived into the dense forest of Mount Zhu to hide.

Without the assistance of the special Ye Bu Shou and intelligence personnel, Xia Houheng could not clearly understand the situation outside, so he could only send his subordinates to disguise themselves as local villagers and go out to investigate.

His subordinates have inquired a lot of information. Shang Xingyun led the tiger and leopard cavalry to successfully withdraw to the country. However, the four counties of Shuzhou, Yanyun, and Yanzhou in Pennsylvania sent a large number of infantry to advance towards Moyun County in a net-like manner, which made Xia Houheng feel deeply. It's not good, if they can't jump out of the encirclement before the Jin army encircles them, they will only have a dead end.

Xia Houheng decided to use his super mobility to evacuate Moyun County immediately. It's not that he didn't think about hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, but in the vast forest, people can easily lose their way. If the Jin army searches the mountains, they will go deep into the forest Fleeing, and I can't guarantee whether I will come out alive.

As a last resort, he didn't want to give up, so he decided to take another risk to see if he could escape the encirclement of the Jin army.

After hiding in the deep mountains and old forests for a few days, my physical strength has recovered. However, although the injuries suffered by more than a dozen subordinates are not serious, it is difficult to follow the action in a short period of time. Xia Houheng can only leave some money and money for them. Dry food, let them transfer by themselves, and find a way to return to the country after their injuries are recovered.

After setting up the wounded, Xia Houheng waited until it was dark, and then took advantage of the hazy moonlight to lead his troops out of the Zhushan forest and retreat towards Shuzhou.

The Jin army guarded Jiankang City with heavy troops to resist the crazy attack of nearly a million coalition troops. There are also a large number of Jin troops gathered in Shuzhou area, ready to reinforce at any time.

Although there were a large number of Jin troops in that area, the situation was extremely tense and chaotic. Perhaps, if he was lucky, he could seize the opportunity and successfully escape back to the country.

Xia Houheng decided to take a gamble, but he led a hundred or so remaining subordinates out of the border of Moyun County, but bumped into a cavalry unit of the Jin army with a size of a thousand.

Xia Houheng was already very careful, but it could only be said that he was unlucky to bump into this thousand-man cavalry of the Jin army at this time.

Being in the hinterland of the enemy country, Xia Houheng and his subordinates maintained a high degree of vigilance. The two sides collided suddenly and there was no time to avoid it.

When the cavalry of the Jin Army reacted, dozens of people had been shot and fell down. Xia Houheng and others only had one shot. They put their bows back into their holsters, drew out their sabers, urged their mounts, and rushed towards the enemy with a roar. go.

Xia Houheng took the lead and slashed fiercely with the saber in his palm, cutting off a Jin soldier who was scrambling to draw his sword. He roared and continued to charge, the saber blocked the incoming iron sword, and a soldier behind him suddenly accelerated Surpassing, the Saber turned into a cold light, cutting the enemy off the horse.

"kill!"

Xia Houheng urged his mount, roared and continued to charge forward, only by charging forward and piercing through the enemy's cavalry array, could he escape.

There were many enemies, so he could only roar and slash desperately, and desperately urged the horses to charge. Fortunately, the Jin army's light cavalry reacted a little slowly, and their combat power was not very high. In addition, the weapons of the tiger and leopard cavalry were all made of fine steel. The standard saber is good for chopping and chopping, and the assault coordination of the small triangle formation is quite tacit, allowing him to lead his troops into the formation easily.

However, it was only a short while before the flustered Qingqi of the Jin Army came to their senses, and found that Xia Houheng's troops were only a hundred people, so they couldn't help but cheer up, and desperately brandished their iron swords to besiege.

The Iron Triangle headed by Xia Houheng rushed forward desperately, cutting down one enemy after another. He couldn't remember how many enemies he had cut down. He only felt that the saber in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and his throat was dry. It was as uncomfortable as burning, and there were burning pains in several places on my body.

"kill!"

He roared and slashed desperately, chopped off an iron sword with one blow, and also knocked off the owner of the iron sword from the horse, spraying blood mist all over his body.

The pressure was suddenly released, and he finally pierced through the enemy formation.

Chapter 3 Escape

Xia Houheng took a deep breath, turned his head to look, and couldn't help but feel a sinking heart. There were only less than 30 people alive in the cavalry team of a hundred people.

Although they caught the enemy by surprise, the official road was too narrow for the charging cavalry, only allowing five or six cavalry to gallop at the same time, piercing through the enemy's formation of thousands of cavalry, and still paid the price of more than [-] casualties. A heavy price.

"withdraw!"

Now was not the time to be sad, and he urged his mount to gallop forward.

The remaining [-] or so tiger and leopard cavalry desperately urged their mounts to gallop. At the same time, they retracted their knives into their sheaths, took out their riding bows, stretched their bows and nocked their arrows, and turned their bodies to release the arrows.

The Qing cavalry of the Jin army pursued closely, and five or six of them chased too close, were shot over on the spot, screamed and fell off their horses, the people behind were afraid, and did not dare to chase too close, they pursued leisurely In the back, keep an arrow's distance from the tiger and leopard cavalry.

At night, his vision was already blurry, Xia Houheng had no time to discern the direction, so he could only gallop forward along the avenue. Seeing that the speed of dismounting his horse began to slow down, he immediately changed his mount and continued to gallop forward.

After galloping for dozens of miles, the distance between the two sides has become farther and farther, and the pursuers behind them can no longer be seen. There is a small fork in front of them. He decisively ordered to disperse and abscond.

With the current twenty or so people, it is impossible to break through the many checkpoints set up by the Jin army and retreat back to the country. They can only break up into pieces, hide in the mountains and forests, save their lives, and then find ways to return to the country.

Fortunately, he had prepared for the worst before he set off. The large amount of gold, silver and jewelry looted was not buried, so he reserved some for his subordinates.

The remaining twenty or so soldiers did not hesitate at all, half of them urged their horses to gallop into the trail, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Xia Houheng led a dozen soldiers to continue galloping along the main road for nearly [-] miles, then turned to the trail, and galloped for another dozen miles. When they saw the dark forest on the left, they reined in their mounts.

After removing necessities such as sabers, bows, arrows, dry food, water, etc. from the horses, everyone caressed the mounts reluctantly. In their hearts, the horses that accompanied them through life and death were already their relatives. Their second life, now they want to give up, who will give up? All heartbroken.

"go."

Xia Houheng gritted his teeth and waved away the horses. With tears in their eyes, everyone watched their beloved war horse disappear into the vast night.

"withdraw!"

Xia Houheng led the remaining ten or so subordinates into the dense forest where they couldn't see their fingers.

They groped in the dense forest with one foot high and one foot low, and marched into the depths of the dense forest.

Estimated to march for half an hour, until they found a small piece of relatively flat terrain, Xia Houheng and others stopped, quickly set up a small tent, and then collected dry firewood and hay in the dark to start a fire.

Start a fire directly in the open space, even if it’s just a small fire, it’s as conspicuous as stars at night. First, set up a tent to build a fire, and the light will be much darker. This kind of knowledge is contained in the basic courses of military academies. It was also sorted out by the young master, which is impressive.

At this moment, Xia Houheng and the others had time to look at the wounds on their bodies. Everyone's bodies were covered with plasma, which had clotted. Fortunately, most of the blood belonged to the enemy.

Even so, each of them had several wounds on their bodies, but luckily the wounds were not serious, they were all skin wounds.
