Chapter 149 Yan Bei Maybe He Can Survive, It's Not Guaranteed
Yan Junyu didn't know how to respond to his words.
From a certain logic point of view, what Xiao Jingyan said was correct. Back then in Sihongtang, he said that he wanted to go to the border for Xiao Jingyan, so he should also stay for him.
But if he went to the frontier, he could play his role and save those who should have died in battle, then if he didn't go, he would not only betray the expectations of his father and grandmother, but also leave those people behind.Besides, this is the most difficult time. He has studied for so long, isn't it just for this day?
He can't even ask other people's opinions, Yun Lan needless to say, and Rong Hao is the same, in his opinion, going to the frontier by himself must not play as much role as Xiao Yan, who continues to be His Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace, but Yan Junyu has always been Remember Luo Heng's words.
He was entangled in this choice, but fortunately, he followed Xiao Jingyan in and out of the Privy Council every day, and was somewhat distracted by the military situation, so he didn't get too entangled.Meng Cang is indeed a god of soldiers. After conquering Youzhou, he did not advance rashly, but cleaned up the surrounding area little by little. Although he talked wildly, he was careful when fighting. Nibbling away step by step, not moving like a mountain.
Yan Junyu saw the map and sand table of Youyan for the first time in the Privy Council. Surrounding the huge table were several royal family members, ministers of the Ministry of War and servants, as well as Suzaku representing Emperor Qingde, and Ao Zhong of the Annan Army. Among the leading generals, even Yan Long came here once to give his father the imitation Xirong crossbow.The city wall of Youzhou is made of huge stones, but this bed crossbow can shoot huge guns more than ten feet long, nailed directly into the city wall, and pull down the stone bricks. There is no way to deal with this bed crossbow yet.
However, both General Ao Zhong and Yan Junyu felt that Youzhou had a problem with its military strength, and that Meng Cang was an elite soldier of the Western Rong with twice the strength of Youzhou, which was why they were so defeated.Otherwise, as long as you defend the city for the first time, it will be much easier in the future. No matter how strong the Xirong army is, the siege will fail again and again. After the first three times, the opponent can only besiege the city.
"Actually, Yanbei's problem is also big. Xirong's best [-] elite soldiers went to Youzhou. Yanbei should attack heavily to intercept his retreat. How could he retreat because of thousands of casualties? Fighting [-] should also let him go." Take it to Youzhou." During a private discussion, Wei Ru couldn't help but said.
Yan Junyu's eyes lit up when he heard this. Ever since he saw Meng Cang's art of war, he almost deliberately forced himself to study only Zhongzheng's art of war, and left all the strange soldiers to Wei Ru. Strategy, trust your vanguard general.Meng Cang is older than them and has more experience than them, they can only use the fastest method to catch up.
He analyzed it carefully by himself, and the next day he discussed it with General Ao Zhong, saying: "I also know that this is an afterthought. Unless there is a secret order, the King of Yanbei will never do this."
Saving Youzhou at the cost of [-] soldiers and horses is strategically correct, but even if it succeeds, King Yanbei would be guilty of a serious crime afterwards—not to mention the loss of troops by mobilizing the army without authorization, who would have thought that Youzhou would really fall? ?They all thought it was an impenetrable city, even Yan Junyu and Ao Zhong didn't expect it to be so soon.It seems that Meng Cang must have studied Youzhou for a long time, maybe he already had this plan before he went to Beijing to pay his respects.
If Yanbei's [-] soldiers and horses are eaten, he will definitely not attack Youzhou. Although Yanbei Qingqi is not his opponent, Xirong will at least have more than [-] casualties. There will be such an excellent opportunity for the entire Youyan to be contained again.Compared with the fall of Youzhou, [-] soldiers and horses can only be regarded as a small loss.
It's a pity that King Yanbei didn't make such a decision. If he was there instead, he would have to mobilize troops even if he wanted to kill his head.Yu Yanran, that guy, looked decent when playing with him, but he was really useless at critical moments, or maybe he was frightened by the consequences of that rash attack, and he restrained himself from then on.
Yan Junyu was upset, but this time General Ao Zhong didn't listen to him as attentively as last time, but was a little restless, which made Yan Junyu unable to continue.He hung around in the Privy Council for a while, and only saw King Quang Binh and a few old men moaning there.King Guangping is the little prince who was hugged by the first emperor in the story of plum blossoms that Emperor Qingde read back then. Yan Junyu always thought he was a bit strange, saying that he was magnanimous, but how could Xinwucheng Mansion be safe in Emperor Qingde's hands until now?It is said that he has a plan, but he doesn't show it at all. The old princes of the Privy Council are more insightful than him.
The military situation on the second day still made people feel depressed.After the fall of Youzhou, Yanbei and Jingbei were equivalent to broken chains, so they had to stick to each other. Jingbei was very difficult under the attack of Chayunshuo. The territory in the northwestern part of the Zhou Dynasty, and the head of the Southern Border Army is stationed in the southwest. If there is a danger in Jingbei, it can be supported.This is also the reason why Ao Zhong did not take away a large number of troops from southern Xinjiang although he purges the three armies.
"When will General Ao go to Youzhou?" Wei Ru couldn't help asking anxiously.
"I think he is also observing Meng Cang's next intention. The front line is no different than Beijing. The authorities are confused. Once they enter the battlefield, they will no longer have this kind of sobriety. We will soon finish Chen Ming's book and give it to him when the time comes."
"Why give it to him, we won't go to war anymore?" Wei Ru suddenly became anxious.
Yan Junyu faltered and couldn't speak, so he had to change the subject. Fortunately, Wei Ru was being played around by Ye Linglong every day, and he didn't notice his entanglement.
It was a sunny day when Ao Zhong's army set out, the snow in the capital had already melted, the crown prince saw him off on behalf of Emperor Qingde, there was still a golden platform, a jade dragon sword, and the etiquette was cumbersome.General Ao Zhong took away [-] elite soldiers, not only the Annan army stationed in Beijing was very neat, but even the [-] elite soldiers transferred from southern Xinjiang were all neatly dressed.An Nanjun's armor was improved by Yan Long's father.Southern Xinjiang is hot, and it is fighting in the mountains and forests, so the armor is light and thin, and there are rattan armor.Although General Ao began to train with heavy armor half a year ago, it is still slightly inferior to Xirong's heavy armored cavalry, and it is estimated that the actual battle damage will be very high.
The Zhou cavalry were all in the northwest, Jingbei Hou had [-] of the most elite cavalry, and then there were heavy cavalry from Youzhou. Unfortunately, they were all buried with the fall of Youzhou, and they didn't even have time to confront Mengcang's Tiewu Tower head-on.Yan Junyu also saw the picture of the Tiewu Pagoda and half of the broken armor in the Privy Council, which obviously improved the Tiefutu.From the confession of the soldiers who escaped, we can also know that Mengcang's Tiewu Pagoda used iron flails instead of chain horses. Cha Yunshuo suffered from the chain hammer in Youzhou Muna back then.The heavy armored cavalry waved heavy iron flails and came overwhelmingly. Even if they hit the breastplate, the people inside would break bones and vomit blood. It was a nightmare scene.
"It's a pity that the Xirong horse is good, and there is no way to pull the formation. With the first formation, the hook and sickle gun will not work, otherwise it will be difficult to get up after the heavy armor falls to the ground. It would be great if we can find a way to overturn the Tiewu tower."
But Yan Junyu knew that this was not his job, and Yan Long's father was disabled, so he could only hope that Yan Long would be enlightened on the battlefield.
Ao Zhong's army rushed to the frontier, the battle situation slowed down a bit, Meng Cang also stabilized, and the first encounter was fought the next day, a small test of the sword, only 5000 men were used.Yan Junyu was among the first to see the battle report, and his heart sank immediately, the casualties were even more tragic than he thought.
If Ao Zhong couldn't resist, he couldn't even imagine the consequences.
The frontier will completely become a grindstone for grinding meat. Dazhou needs to continuously invest in soldiers and financial resources, relying on a casualty ratio close to seven to three to wear down Mengcang's elite soldiers.Xirong's soldiers are not replenished as fast as Dazhou's. This will become the cruelest chess game. The people of Dazhou, those healthy young people, will all sacrifice their flesh and blood on the battlefield.
If all the [-] Annan troops are exhausted, plus the tens of thousands of cavalry that Jingbei and Yanbei can support, Chayunshuo's current [-] elite soldiers will also lose more than half. Taciron squeezed out the Hu people around him.By the time the battle is halfway through, Xirong may give up Da Zhou and attack other neighboring countries.
One hundred thousand Annan soldiers buried their bones in the frontier, Yan Junyu's hands trembled just thinking about it.It was only then that he realized why Xiao Jingyan said that the war was raging that day. His Royal Highness had already calculated how many lives would be lost in this fire.The favorite exaggeration in the novels is that there are millions of troops at every turn, but in fact there is no distinction between soldiers and soldiers, even civilian husbands are counted. The so-called army of one million is actually less than a hundred thousand who can actually go to battle.
It's cruel to say, but these civilians are not counted when calculating war damage.
But he didn't expect that on the day of the practice, the tragic look on Old General Ao Zhong's face was not because of this.
The battle report arrived on the third day, and it was still a very small-scale conflict. Meng Cang didn't even fight head-on, but bypassed a tributary of the Huyan River and met with several generals in the northeast of Youzhou.Yanbei often harassed there, and some of his generals were not very smart, and they suffered a lot.He is one of the rare geniuses who can fight big battles and have ingenious plans. This time, he directly set up an ambush on the road that must be passed, caught Yanbei by surprise, and directly wiped out a 700 light cavalry squad that came to harass him.
This battle is not even worth talking about, only a note in the corner of the battle report.
This is a small village in northern Xinjiang. It is located on the border between Yanbei and Youzhou.Because of the flames of war, all the people in the village had fled, and it was desolate and covered with snow.If it wasn't for Yanbei Qingqi's horseshoes to break the silence, no one would pass by here for ten days and half a month.
It can be seen that this cavalry is the elite of Yanbei, and even in the pursuit battle, they still maintained the integrity of the formation, but the seventy or so cavalry are all lightly armored and strong bows, and they walk and retreat.The leading general was extremely young, and he used a spear that was common in Yanbei. The red tassels on the spear were still dripping with blood. He took the lead and rushed into the village. Eyes, the look in his eyes was extremely sharp and murderous.
"How many people are left?" He asked the lieutenant beside him.
"There are about seventy left. Meng Gao and the others dispersed with us. When I rushed out, I saw that there were about ninety of them left." He slapped his face, it was the enemy's blood that was splashed at close range when he just broke out, and covered the helmet, which looked quite scary.But it can also be seen that the outline is very handsome, especially the eyebrows and eyes are very beautiful.
In Yanbei's severe cold, his fingers were almost numb from the cold, and his face was full of cuts, not to mention the injuries on his body.Xirong's Tiewu Pagoda was surrounded, and there was no way to dodge the iron flail. The lieutenant was also hit on the leg a few times, and his armor skirt was torn. This leg has no feeling, and it will take half a year to go back.
However, in the current situation, whether to go back or not is still a problem.
"Let's go to Sleepy Niutan, where the water is shallow and the ice is thin, and the Tiewu Tower can't catch up. If the light cavalry comes, we will break through." He suggested to the general.
"No." Yu Yanran vetoed him: "Let's go to Jinshakou. There is a poplar forest there. Meng Gao and I made an appointment to meet there. Let's go separately. Fifth, Xiaoduan, Liu Fan'er, the three of you take a Team, Tianyi, you lead a team, and the rest follow me, we will divide into three groups and go to Jinshakou to meet up."
"Are you crazy?" the lieutenant retorted angrily.Although his rank is one level lower than Yu Yanran's, everyone in the Yanbei Army knows his identity - the youngest son of Yanbei King is called Kuang Tianyi, who was originally trained in the Guards, but since his brother died in battle , insisting on going to the front line, going to the most dangerous places and performing the most difficult tasks.
No wonder he was so angry. Anyone who knew a little bit about the art of war knew that dividing troops was a big taboo, and they were the only ones left. If they wanted to go back to Yanbei, they had to go together.Yu Yanran divided his troops like this, obviously he didn't plan to go back together.
Yu Yanran didn't care about him, and called directly: "Old Five."
The old fifth was a school lieutenant in his thirties, tall and tall, wearing a chain mail, like a poor frontier soldier, with a bit of a ruffian air.Hearing this, Yu Yanran slapped Kuang Tianyi's horse's ass with a spear, but Kuang Tianyi had no time to react, and the horse had already rushed out. People followed.
"Bring Tianyi back." Yu Yanran said loudly.
"Understood!" Lao Wu turned around and said, "See you at Nanfang."
"See you at Nanfang."
Nanfang is the wine shop in Suiye City in Yanbei. Yanbei Army often drinks there. It is their old place. What the old five said is that he must return to Suiye, otherwise, with Kuang Tianyi's temper, there will be trouble. The world was turned upside down, Yu Yanran died without even thinking about being safe.
Soon the troops were divided into three groups, and there were only a dozen or so people left around Yu Yanran, but at this moment, all he saw was a crow flying from the poplar tree outside the village, and the wind was also carrying the bloody smell of horses and cold iron. Apparently the Xirong people had already caught up.They are all personal soldiers for many years, needless to say their trust, so they don't panic at this moment of life and death. An experienced deputy asked, "Are we looking for Meng Gao?"
"They must have reached the poplar forest, we will go directly to Jinshakou."
"Just now when we broke through, only a few thousand people followed us. At least half of them have fallen in half a day, and now there are at most 2000 people. When we meet up with Meng Gao at Jinshakou and break through again, we will be able to cross the Huyan River. .” The deputy general said confidently.
Yu Yanran didn't seem to be afraid, and there was ambition in her eyes.The lieutenant general couldn't help but feel relieved, he knew that this time it was the chief general of Xirong, Meng Cang, who was chasing his group, but he would definitely escape.Needless to say, General Yu is powerful, after all, there is that person on Meng Gao's side. If there is really Zhao Zilong who can kill seven in and seven out in Changbanpo, it is just that person.
It was already afternoon when Meng Gao and the others arrived at the poplar forest.
The sun was dimmed by the light of the snow, and the poplar grove was dead and silent in winter, only the branches of the dry poplar were facing the sky, and the horses could not run.You can only run in the direction of Yanbei along the tributary next to Jinshakou.
Their group was far more tragic than Yu Yanran and the others expected. When they broke through the siege, they encountered the arrow rain of the Xirong people and had to break through. More than half of the casualties were over half. Of the 200 people who came out, only sixty or so were left, and some were rushed by the Xirong cavalry. scattered.This time Mengcang's ambush was really ruthless, surrounded by tens of thousands of elite soldiers, it was impossible to guard against.
Every one of them is more or less injured, except that one.
Meng Gao and his team are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for seven or eight years, and they have a deep friendship with each other.So a newcomer came in very abruptly, besides, this person was cold and incompatible with the rough atmosphere of the army. Sometimes he looked like a young master from a noble family, and sometimes he looked like an unruly ranger, which was really puzzling.Meng Gao didn't dare to take care of him, after all, General Yu didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him, and some people said they saw him pinning and beating General Yu.
But his kung fu is really good, and he is proficient in riding and archery.Such a solid encirclement, he also killed seven in and seven out, and directly tore a hole in the south, which allowed them to escape from the encirclement of thousands of iron towers.At that time, the people of Xirong even used their back arrows, Meng Gao was far away from him, and there was a flash of cold light, obviously he was the sharpshooter of Xirong, it is said that this is what the young prince suffered in Yanzhou.Meng Gao was frightened out of his wits, and it was too late to save him, he just thought he was going to be hit hard, but who knew that the red Xirong horse was killed from the enemy line in a blink of an eye, the rider on the horse was unscathed, and he was carrying a Xirong horse in his hand. People used as shields have been shot into hedgehogs.
There are also many mysteries about him. The Xirong horse is one of the best. Needless to say, the bow and the armor are all good things from Ouchi. General Yu once said at a celebration banquet that this horse is not his best. , His best is still in Beijing and he hasn't brought it yet.
Meng Gao also didn't understand his origin, he only knew that he should be a son of a prince, his spirit was not like that of ordinary people, he was tall, he acted freely, and his name was nice, Ao Ji.
During this breakout, General Genuine Yu was dispersed, and the large group of Xirong people fell behind and chased after him. From the sound, there seemed to be thousands of people.If he hadn't been on the same team as him, Meng Gao would have been a little desperate.
When we entered the poplar forest, we just wanted to rest when we heard crows flying, and the sky was full of smoke and dust in the northwest direction, obviously the Xirong people were chasing them again.
"Everyone, don't panic. We will take a detour to the river bank. We will rely on the woods and deal with the Xirong people. General Yu will be here soon."
Everyone obeyed their orders one after another, as expected, within a moment, the Xirong army came to kill them, thousands of people broke into the poplar forest, they could even plow the ground, there was no danger in front of them, and it was only a matter of time before they were completely surrounded.
Meng Gao and a pair of knives and axemen fought together. This is a new style of play developed by the Yanbei Army. It was originally modeled after the previous battle against the Tiefutu kidnappers. It was also effective against the Xirong heavy cavalry. Gao's double mace weighed about [-] catties, and he didn't need to pick the joints to attack, and he could seriously injure the Xirong people through the iron armor, but it was not so powerful when they were outnumbered.Together with the knife and axe, he felled two heavy cavalry on a gentle slope, and was immediately noticed by the Xirong people. They surrounded them with spears, spears, swords and shields. The knife and axe were hit by spears one after another. He fought and retreated, using bows and arrows to fight against the cavalry chasing him, and shot down two, but with the iron armor, his bow was not fatal.
The screams of comrades-in-arms being killed can be heard all over the ears. The heavy cavalry of Xirong are called wolf cavalry. The horses are strong and can still sprint and trample even after wearing armor. Many Yanbei soldiers died of their internal organs crushed by horseshoes.
The blood in Meng Gao's chest was boiling, and the wind was heard in his ears. He saw a spear brushing his face and flew over. He turned around and shot the nearest Xirong man, knowing that there were hundreds of horsemen behind him. The one who was chasing him couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Xirong Dog, come and chase you, Grandpa Meng!" He leaped over a high slope, and shouted at the Xirong people: "Let you see what the Yanbei Army is!"
After yelling and cursing, he brandished his mace, jumped down the high slope, and knocked down another Xirong man.The wind whistled in my ears, and the injury on my right arm didn't seem to feel any pain anymore.
The moment he fell, he thought his horse had tripped over a tree root.But it wasn't until he saw the iron arrow on his chest that he realized that the horse hadn't fallen, and that he had fallen from the horse.
Xi Rong's iron arrow was powerful and heavy, with a sharp barb, and the black iron arrow pierced through his chest armor, carrying warm blood.It was only after he fell that he felt the sharp pain that pierced his heart. He fell on the snow, with blood foaming from his mouth, as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat. He couldn't breathe even though he tried his best. Take a breath.
He struggled to support himself on the snow with two maces, and wanted to get up, but he felt that all the strength in his body was gone.Just when he was about to stand up, an arrow pierced through the air from behind, this time directly piercing his shoulder, nailing him to the poplar tree behind him.
When his consciousness was lost, he slid down uncontrollably. The thick snow exuded a icy smell. He opened his eyes and saw the blue sky of Yanbei through the withered branches of the poplar.
On the poplar tree, squatting quietly.He was like a bird, a hawk or a falcon, something more dangerous than that.He didn't wear Yanbei's heavy armor, but the robe he had on the day he came. How could there be such a robe?Green is not blue, black is not black, but he looks so chic, the wind blows his sleeves, his whole body seems to melt into the poplar tree, his eyes are so calm, Meng Gao suddenly understood.
I was still wondering why such a good skill would stay here as a soldier.It turned out that he never looked at his group of people with indifference, but with compassion.
He should have thought earlier that the best thing on him should be that sword.
"This is the Yanbei man who used the double mace just now." The Xirong general named Amuhai threw a head at Meng Cang's feet. The generals who were waiting immediately burst out laughing.
Meng Cang is not only the general of Xirong, but also the future sun king in their hearts. Xirong's song sings that wherever the sun shines, it will be the territory of Xirong, and the prophesied king seems to be right in front of them.Not only these generals, but even these thousands of soldiers love and follow him fanatically from their hearts.
Moreover, Mengcang is indeed very kingly, not only victorious on the battlefield, but also has the wildness and wildness of the Xirong people in his bones.Compared with the nobles playing tricks and posturing in the north and south courtyards, he has both the cunning of a fox and the cruelty of a wolf. He led them to hunt the Dazhou people as prey, which really made these generals admire him.
"The Yanbei man who injured Tie Le seems to have appeared in the southeast." A spy came back and reported: "There are very few people with him, only a dozen or so."
"You're looking for death!" "You dare to come over when you see a crow!" "People from Yanbei are so stupid..."
The generals all laughed.They look down on the weak Zhou people. Yanbei blocked them for so many years. Although it is hateful, it has proved their blood, so they just call them Yanbei people.Tie Le is very popular among the Xirong generals. After he was seriously injured, everyone wanted to avenge him.If King Chayunshuo hadn't said that he wanted to encroach on Dazhou, they would have attacked Yanbei with all their forces and slaughtered the city for three days.
Meng Cang took into account King Chayunshuo's prudence and Xirong warrior's passion. Of course, it doesn't mean that King Chayunshuo is not brave anymore, but after that serious injury, his health has deteriorated, and he can no longer fight frequently.It is Meng Cang's character that can get along better with these young Xirong generals.
"Prince, Yu Yanran is already a turtle in the urn. Let's go back. We can reach Huyan Beiying before dark. This area is still too close to Yanbei. It's not safe after dark." The military adviser beside him advised.
Helian insisted on accepting this military adviser, saying that he used to be an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He saw that Xi Rong was destined by destiny, so he came here specially. His name is Luo Yuquan, and he is indeed a bit smart. like.
Before he could speak, those Xirong generals had already shouted: "This is the tributary of the Huyan River, passing through this forest is Jinshakou, it would be nice to be stationed on the river beach." "I haven't had enough fun yet, how can I go back!" " Capture the Yanbei man, tie him to the fire and roast him, cut off the meat to drink, and go back tomorrow!"
Meng Cang also raised his eyebrows arrogantly, and said with a smile: "You are too careful, even if the old man King Yanbei comes in person, I won't be afraid."
Seeing this, Luo Yuquan persuaded him not to move, and directly asked the soldiers to clear the woods to prevent people from ambush at night.The generals laughed when they saw how cautious he was, and the soldiers were not very obedient. Meng Cang swung his whip directly, and the horse neighed and left in the dust.The generals behind followed in a mighty manner, and suddenly the forest was full of whistles, rough yelling and cursing in Xirong dialect, and the sound of fighting each other with weapons.Luo Yuquan remembered how these Xirong people got into fights during the celebration banquet, and cut off a few fingers from betting, so he sighed inwardly, and rode his horse to follow.
The battle situation has been tense recently, and Meng Cang hasn't ridden his horse for a long time, and he has been honestly serving in the army when he fought against Youzhou, because he took the lead in the fight against Yanzhou before, and was slightly injured, but his father wrote a letter and scolded him , had to be honest.
He is also a person who likes to fight in battle, but now as the chief general, he has to restrain himself a lot, and he hasn't tasted blood for a long time.Even the war horse was wronged, and when it was galloping along the edge of the forest, suddenly the war horse neighed, jumped up on the spot, and bumped like crazy.
"No, I've startled the horse!" The generals shouted behind them, and some of them were laughing. People in Xirong all grew up on horseback, and Meng Cang knew how to ride a horse when he was four or five years old. There is no need for such a trivial matter as startling a horse. help.During the May Grassland Festival in Xirong, there were warriors who specially stabbed their horses to frighten them, and then tamed them to win the favor of their sweethearts.Meng Cang himself was not flustered, his war horse followed him through life and death, it was the leader of the wild horse herd, and it was unambiguous to go straight into the knife formation, this was still a startled horse.He smiled and held the rein of the horse, and just about to speak, he felt a sudden chill in his heart.
It felt very strange, as if a needle of ice had directly pierced the back of his neck, and the chill instantly spread throughout his body. The panic hit the bone marrow, and even his soul trembled.
Meng Cang didn't know that it was a person's intuition when facing a fatal crisis.
He didn't have time to know.
Luo Yuquan, who was at the end of the team, could only see from a distance that the crowd stopped suddenly, the neighing of horses, scolding in Xirong's language, and terrified roars rang out.Meng Cang's frightened horse lifted him up high, almost over the heads of the crowd, but the young man in the Xirong robe had a tall figure, as vigorous as a tiger or leopard, and he looked like he was holding the rein without panicking at all.
He even had a smile on his face, with an astonishing demeanor, like the son of god in the legend of the Xirong people.
Then the sword fell from the sky like this.
Luo Yuquan recognized people with swords.He also passed the imperial examination back then. When the scholars got together, they chatted and said that there were Wenju and Wuju in Beijing.But among the scholars, there is a declining gentry, who is very disdainful, saying that you people only know that martial arts people are good, but in fact, the real masters are all in Da Nei.Not to mention the holy guards, the most formidable one is a master of the East Palace, who once broke through the gate of the palace guarded by the guards alone, even thousands of guards could not stop him.He went straight in and out, coming and going freely, and finally caught him with tricks.
At that time, Luo Yuquan was just a timid little scholar. After winning the exam, at the Qionglin Banquet, he had also sneaked a glimpse of the legendary master in the Eastern Palace. He was unexpectedly young, a handsome and tall young man, dressed in a vermilion brocade robe, beside him. Only one sword.
Luo Yuquan didn't know that his sword was so sharp.
That sword pierced through the darkness of the poplar grove at dusk, and also pierced Meng Cang's iron armor belonging to Xirong, like a towering giant tree being broken, and a jade mountain toppled and unable to be supported again.Countless generals roared and cursed, rushed up to fight him, and wanted to die with his assassin in green robe.The overwhelming sound of horns spread throughout the forest, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen came roaring over, but Luo Yuquan just sat on the horse blankly, watching Meng Cang's body fall, surrounded by people.Blood gushed out, staining the snow covered with hoofprints.Xirong's armor is very thick, and Meng Cang's body is even stronger, and he even has dodge movements at critical moments.
Maybe he can survive or not.
Lingyan Pavilion is full of princes and princes, and the court is divided among factions. He wants a lot, and the Xirong is as powerful as a broken bamboo, eyeing the Central Plains, and it is a good thing that hit it off.With such a good vision, taking advantage of the envoy of Xirong's envoy to surrender quickly while he was in Beijing, it would not be difficult for him to be appointed as a Marquis and Prime Minister in the future.
He didn't know that the sword would pierce his dream.
From a certain logic point of view, what Xiao Jingyan said was correct. Back then in Sihongtang, he said that he wanted to go to the border for Xiao Jingyan, so he should also stay for him.
But if he went to the frontier, he could play his role and save those who should have died in battle, then if he didn't go, he would not only betray the expectations of his father and grandmother, but also leave those people behind.Besides, this is the most difficult time. He has studied for so long, isn't it just for this day?
He can't even ask other people's opinions, Yun Lan needless to say, and Rong Hao is the same, in his opinion, going to the frontier by himself must not play as much role as Xiao Yan, who continues to be His Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace, but Yan Junyu has always been Remember Luo Heng's words.
He was entangled in this choice, but fortunately, he followed Xiao Jingyan in and out of the Privy Council every day, and was somewhat distracted by the military situation, so he didn't get too entangled.Meng Cang is indeed a god of soldiers. After conquering Youzhou, he did not advance rashly, but cleaned up the surrounding area little by little. Although he talked wildly, he was careful when fighting. Nibbling away step by step, not moving like a mountain.
Yan Junyu saw the map and sand table of Youyan for the first time in the Privy Council. Surrounding the huge table were several royal family members, ministers of the Ministry of War and servants, as well as Suzaku representing Emperor Qingde, and Ao Zhong of the Annan Army. Among the leading generals, even Yan Long came here once to give his father the imitation Xirong crossbow.The city wall of Youzhou is made of huge stones, but this bed crossbow can shoot huge guns more than ten feet long, nailed directly into the city wall, and pull down the stone bricks. There is no way to deal with this bed crossbow yet.
However, both General Ao Zhong and Yan Junyu felt that Youzhou had a problem with its military strength, and that Meng Cang was an elite soldier of the Western Rong with twice the strength of Youzhou, which was why they were so defeated.Otherwise, as long as you defend the city for the first time, it will be much easier in the future. No matter how strong the Xirong army is, the siege will fail again and again. After the first three times, the opponent can only besiege the city.
"Actually, Yanbei's problem is also big. Xirong's best [-] elite soldiers went to Youzhou. Yanbei should attack heavily to intercept his retreat. How could he retreat because of thousands of casualties? Fighting [-] should also let him go." Take it to Youzhou." During a private discussion, Wei Ru couldn't help but said.
Yan Junyu's eyes lit up when he heard this. Ever since he saw Meng Cang's art of war, he almost deliberately forced himself to study only Zhongzheng's art of war, and left all the strange soldiers to Wei Ru. Strategy, trust your vanguard general.Meng Cang is older than them and has more experience than them, they can only use the fastest method to catch up.
He analyzed it carefully by himself, and the next day he discussed it with General Ao Zhong, saying: "I also know that this is an afterthought. Unless there is a secret order, the King of Yanbei will never do this."
Saving Youzhou at the cost of [-] soldiers and horses is strategically correct, but even if it succeeds, King Yanbei would be guilty of a serious crime afterwards—not to mention the loss of troops by mobilizing the army without authorization, who would have thought that Youzhou would really fall? ?They all thought it was an impenetrable city, even Yan Junyu and Ao Zhong didn't expect it to be so soon.It seems that Meng Cang must have studied Youzhou for a long time, maybe he already had this plan before he went to Beijing to pay his respects.
If Yanbei's [-] soldiers and horses are eaten, he will definitely not attack Youzhou. Although Yanbei Qingqi is not his opponent, Xirong will at least have more than [-] casualties. There will be such an excellent opportunity for the entire Youyan to be contained again.Compared with the fall of Youzhou, [-] soldiers and horses can only be regarded as a small loss.
It's a pity that King Yanbei didn't make such a decision. If he was there instead, he would have to mobilize troops even if he wanted to kill his head.Yu Yanran, that guy, looked decent when playing with him, but he was really useless at critical moments, or maybe he was frightened by the consequences of that rash attack, and he restrained himself from then on.
Yan Junyu was upset, but this time General Ao Zhong didn't listen to him as attentively as last time, but was a little restless, which made Yan Junyu unable to continue.He hung around in the Privy Council for a while, and only saw King Quang Binh and a few old men moaning there.King Guangping is the little prince who was hugged by the first emperor in the story of plum blossoms that Emperor Qingde read back then. Yan Junyu always thought he was a bit strange, saying that he was magnanimous, but how could Xinwucheng Mansion be safe in Emperor Qingde's hands until now?It is said that he has a plan, but he doesn't show it at all. The old princes of the Privy Council are more insightful than him.
The military situation on the second day still made people feel depressed.After the fall of Youzhou, Yanbei and Jingbei were equivalent to broken chains, so they had to stick to each other. Jingbei was very difficult under the attack of Chayunshuo. The territory in the northwestern part of the Zhou Dynasty, and the head of the Southern Border Army is stationed in the southwest. If there is a danger in Jingbei, it can be supported.This is also the reason why Ao Zhong did not take away a large number of troops from southern Xinjiang although he purges the three armies.
"When will General Ao go to Youzhou?" Wei Ru couldn't help asking anxiously.
"I think he is also observing Meng Cang's next intention. The front line is no different than Beijing. The authorities are confused. Once they enter the battlefield, they will no longer have this kind of sobriety. We will soon finish Chen Ming's book and give it to him when the time comes."
"Why give it to him, we won't go to war anymore?" Wei Ru suddenly became anxious.
Yan Junyu faltered and couldn't speak, so he had to change the subject. Fortunately, Wei Ru was being played around by Ye Linglong every day, and he didn't notice his entanglement.
It was a sunny day when Ao Zhong's army set out, the snow in the capital had already melted, the crown prince saw him off on behalf of Emperor Qingde, there was still a golden platform, a jade dragon sword, and the etiquette was cumbersome.General Ao Zhong took away [-] elite soldiers, not only the Annan army stationed in Beijing was very neat, but even the [-] elite soldiers transferred from southern Xinjiang were all neatly dressed.An Nanjun's armor was improved by Yan Long's father.Southern Xinjiang is hot, and it is fighting in the mountains and forests, so the armor is light and thin, and there are rattan armor.Although General Ao began to train with heavy armor half a year ago, it is still slightly inferior to Xirong's heavy armored cavalry, and it is estimated that the actual battle damage will be very high.
The Zhou cavalry were all in the northwest, Jingbei Hou had [-] of the most elite cavalry, and then there were heavy cavalry from Youzhou. Unfortunately, they were all buried with the fall of Youzhou, and they didn't even have time to confront Mengcang's Tiewu Tower head-on.Yan Junyu also saw the picture of the Tiewu Pagoda and half of the broken armor in the Privy Council, which obviously improved the Tiefutu.From the confession of the soldiers who escaped, we can also know that Mengcang's Tiewu Pagoda used iron flails instead of chain horses. Cha Yunshuo suffered from the chain hammer in Youzhou Muna back then.The heavy armored cavalry waved heavy iron flails and came overwhelmingly. Even if they hit the breastplate, the people inside would break bones and vomit blood. It was a nightmare scene.
"It's a pity that the Xirong horse is good, and there is no way to pull the formation. With the first formation, the hook and sickle gun will not work, otherwise it will be difficult to get up after the heavy armor falls to the ground. It would be great if we can find a way to overturn the Tiewu tower."
But Yan Junyu knew that this was not his job, and Yan Long's father was disabled, so he could only hope that Yan Long would be enlightened on the battlefield.
Ao Zhong's army rushed to the frontier, the battle situation slowed down a bit, Meng Cang also stabilized, and the first encounter was fought the next day, a small test of the sword, only 5000 men were used.Yan Junyu was among the first to see the battle report, and his heart sank immediately, the casualties were even more tragic than he thought.
If Ao Zhong couldn't resist, he couldn't even imagine the consequences.
The frontier will completely become a grindstone for grinding meat. Dazhou needs to continuously invest in soldiers and financial resources, relying on a casualty ratio close to seven to three to wear down Mengcang's elite soldiers.Xirong's soldiers are not replenished as fast as Dazhou's. This will become the cruelest chess game. The people of Dazhou, those healthy young people, will all sacrifice their flesh and blood on the battlefield.
If all the [-] Annan troops are exhausted, plus the tens of thousands of cavalry that Jingbei and Yanbei can support, Chayunshuo's current [-] elite soldiers will also lose more than half. Taciron squeezed out the Hu people around him.By the time the battle is halfway through, Xirong may give up Da Zhou and attack other neighboring countries.
One hundred thousand Annan soldiers buried their bones in the frontier, Yan Junyu's hands trembled just thinking about it.It was only then that he realized why Xiao Jingyan said that the war was raging that day. His Royal Highness had already calculated how many lives would be lost in this fire.The favorite exaggeration in the novels is that there are millions of troops at every turn, but in fact there is no distinction between soldiers and soldiers, even civilian husbands are counted. The so-called army of one million is actually less than a hundred thousand who can actually go to battle.
It's cruel to say, but these civilians are not counted when calculating war damage.
But he didn't expect that on the day of the practice, the tragic look on Old General Ao Zhong's face was not because of this.
The battle report arrived on the third day, and it was still a very small-scale conflict. Meng Cang didn't even fight head-on, but bypassed a tributary of the Huyan River and met with several generals in the northeast of Youzhou.Yanbei often harassed there, and some of his generals were not very smart, and they suffered a lot.He is one of the rare geniuses who can fight big battles and have ingenious plans. This time, he directly set up an ambush on the road that must be passed, caught Yanbei by surprise, and directly wiped out a 700 light cavalry squad that came to harass him.
This battle is not even worth talking about, only a note in the corner of the battle report.
This is a small village in northern Xinjiang. It is located on the border between Yanbei and Youzhou.Because of the flames of war, all the people in the village had fled, and it was desolate and covered with snow.If it wasn't for Yanbei Qingqi's horseshoes to break the silence, no one would pass by here for ten days and half a month.
It can be seen that this cavalry is the elite of Yanbei, and even in the pursuit battle, they still maintained the integrity of the formation, but the seventy or so cavalry are all lightly armored and strong bows, and they walk and retreat.The leading general was extremely young, and he used a spear that was common in Yanbei. The red tassels on the spear were still dripping with blood. He took the lead and rushed into the village. Eyes, the look in his eyes was extremely sharp and murderous.
"How many people are left?" He asked the lieutenant beside him.
"There are about seventy left. Meng Gao and the others dispersed with us. When I rushed out, I saw that there were about ninety of them left." He slapped his face, it was the enemy's blood that was splashed at close range when he just broke out, and covered the helmet, which looked quite scary.But it can also be seen that the outline is very handsome, especially the eyebrows and eyes are very beautiful.
In Yanbei's severe cold, his fingers were almost numb from the cold, and his face was full of cuts, not to mention the injuries on his body.Xirong's Tiewu Pagoda was surrounded, and there was no way to dodge the iron flail. The lieutenant was also hit on the leg a few times, and his armor skirt was torn. This leg has no feeling, and it will take half a year to go back.
However, in the current situation, whether to go back or not is still a problem.
"Let's go to Sleepy Niutan, where the water is shallow and the ice is thin, and the Tiewu Tower can't catch up. If the light cavalry comes, we will break through." He suggested to the general.
"No." Yu Yanran vetoed him: "Let's go to Jinshakou. There is a poplar forest there. Meng Gao and I made an appointment to meet there. Let's go separately. Fifth, Xiaoduan, Liu Fan'er, the three of you take a Team, Tianyi, you lead a team, and the rest follow me, we will divide into three groups and go to Jinshakou to meet up."
"Are you crazy?" the lieutenant retorted angrily.Although his rank is one level lower than Yu Yanran's, everyone in the Yanbei Army knows his identity - the youngest son of Yanbei King is called Kuang Tianyi, who was originally trained in the Guards, but since his brother died in battle , insisting on going to the front line, going to the most dangerous places and performing the most difficult tasks.
No wonder he was so angry. Anyone who knew a little bit about the art of war knew that dividing troops was a big taboo, and they were the only ones left. If they wanted to go back to Yanbei, they had to go together.Yu Yanran divided his troops like this, obviously he didn't plan to go back together.
Yu Yanran didn't care about him, and called directly: "Old Five."
The old fifth was a school lieutenant in his thirties, tall and tall, wearing a chain mail, like a poor frontier soldier, with a bit of a ruffian air.Hearing this, Yu Yanran slapped Kuang Tianyi's horse's ass with a spear, but Kuang Tianyi had no time to react, and the horse had already rushed out. People followed.
"Bring Tianyi back." Yu Yanran said loudly.
"Understood!" Lao Wu turned around and said, "See you at Nanfang."
"See you at Nanfang."
Nanfang is the wine shop in Suiye City in Yanbei. Yanbei Army often drinks there. It is their old place. What the old five said is that he must return to Suiye, otherwise, with Kuang Tianyi's temper, there will be trouble. The world was turned upside down, Yu Yanran died without even thinking about being safe.
Soon the troops were divided into three groups, and there were only a dozen or so people left around Yu Yanran, but at this moment, all he saw was a crow flying from the poplar tree outside the village, and the wind was also carrying the bloody smell of horses and cold iron. Apparently the Xirong people had already caught up.They are all personal soldiers for many years, needless to say their trust, so they don't panic at this moment of life and death. An experienced deputy asked, "Are we looking for Meng Gao?"
"They must have reached the poplar forest, we will go directly to Jinshakou."
"Just now when we broke through, only a few thousand people followed us. At least half of them have fallen in half a day, and now there are at most 2000 people. When we meet up with Meng Gao at Jinshakou and break through again, we will be able to cross the Huyan River. .” The deputy general said confidently.
Yu Yanran didn't seem to be afraid, and there was ambition in her eyes.The lieutenant general couldn't help but feel relieved, he knew that this time it was the chief general of Xirong, Meng Cang, who was chasing his group, but he would definitely escape.Needless to say, General Yu is powerful, after all, there is that person on Meng Gao's side. If there is really Zhao Zilong who can kill seven in and seven out in Changbanpo, it is just that person.
It was already afternoon when Meng Gao and the others arrived at the poplar forest.
The sun was dimmed by the light of the snow, and the poplar grove was dead and silent in winter, only the branches of the dry poplar were facing the sky, and the horses could not run.You can only run in the direction of Yanbei along the tributary next to Jinshakou.
Their group was far more tragic than Yu Yanran and the others expected. When they broke through the siege, they encountered the arrow rain of the Xirong people and had to break through. More than half of the casualties were over half. Of the 200 people who came out, only sixty or so were left, and some were rushed by the Xirong cavalry. scattered.This time Mengcang's ambush was really ruthless, surrounded by tens of thousands of elite soldiers, it was impossible to guard against.
Every one of them is more or less injured, except that one.
Meng Gao and his team are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for seven or eight years, and they have a deep friendship with each other.So a newcomer came in very abruptly, besides, this person was cold and incompatible with the rough atmosphere of the army. Sometimes he looked like a young master from a noble family, and sometimes he looked like an unruly ranger, which was really puzzling.Meng Gao didn't dare to take care of him, after all, General Yu didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him, and some people said they saw him pinning and beating General Yu.
But his kung fu is really good, and he is proficient in riding and archery.Such a solid encirclement, he also killed seven in and seven out, and directly tore a hole in the south, which allowed them to escape from the encirclement of thousands of iron towers.At that time, the people of Xirong even used their back arrows, Meng Gao was far away from him, and there was a flash of cold light, obviously he was the sharpshooter of Xirong, it is said that this is what the young prince suffered in Yanzhou.Meng Gao was frightened out of his wits, and it was too late to save him, he just thought he was going to be hit hard, but who knew that the red Xirong horse was killed from the enemy line in a blink of an eye, the rider on the horse was unscathed, and he was carrying a Xirong horse in his hand. People used as shields have been shot into hedgehogs.
There are also many mysteries about him. The Xirong horse is one of the best. Needless to say, the bow and the armor are all good things from Ouchi. General Yu once said at a celebration banquet that this horse is not his best. , His best is still in Beijing and he hasn't brought it yet.
Meng Gao also didn't understand his origin, he only knew that he should be a son of a prince, his spirit was not like that of ordinary people, he was tall, he acted freely, and his name was nice, Ao Ji.
During this breakout, General Genuine Yu was dispersed, and the large group of Xirong people fell behind and chased after him. From the sound, there seemed to be thousands of people.If he hadn't been on the same team as him, Meng Gao would have been a little desperate.
When we entered the poplar forest, we just wanted to rest when we heard crows flying, and the sky was full of smoke and dust in the northwest direction, obviously the Xirong people were chasing them again.
"Everyone, don't panic. We will take a detour to the river bank. We will rely on the woods and deal with the Xirong people. General Yu will be here soon."
Everyone obeyed their orders one after another, as expected, within a moment, the Xirong army came to kill them, thousands of people broke into the poplar forest, they could even plow the ground, there was no danger in front of them, and it was only a matter of time before they were completely surrounded.
Meng Gao and a pair of knives and axemen fought together. This is a new style of play developed by the Yanbei Army. It was originally modeled after the previous battle against the Tiefutu kidnappers. It was also effective against the Xirong heavy cavalry. Gao's double mace weighed about [-] catties, and he didn't need to pick the joints to attack, and he could seriously injure the Xirong people through the iron armor, but it was not so powerful when they were outnumbered.Together with the knife and axe, he felled two heavy cavalry on a gentle slope, and was immediately noticed by the Xirong people. They surrounded them with spears, spears, swords and shields. The knife and axe were hit by spears one after another. He fought and retreated, using bows and arrows to fight against the cavalry chasing him, and shot down two, but with the iron armor, his bow was not fatal.
The screams of comrades-in-arms being killed can be heard all over the ears. The heavy cavalry of Xirong are called wolf cavalry. The horses are strong and can still sprint and trample even after wearing armor. Many Yanbei soldiers died of their internal organs crushed by horseshoes.
The blood in Meng Gao's chest was boiling, and the wind was heard in his ears. He saw a spear brushing his face and flew over. He turned around and shot the nearest Xirong man, knowing that there were hundreds of horsemen behind him. The one who was chasing him couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Xirong Dog, come and chase you, Grandpa Meng!" He leaped over a high slope, and shouted at the Xirong people: "Let you see what the Yanbei Army is!"
After yelling and cursing, he brandished his mace, jumped down the high slope, and knocked down another Xirong man.The wind whistled in my ears, and the injury on my right arm didn't seem to feel any pain anymore.
The moment he fell, he thought his horse had tripped over a tree root.But it wasn't until he saw the iron arrow on his chest that he realized that the horse hadn't fallen, and that he had fallen from the horse.
Xi Rong's iron arrow was powerful and heavy, with a sharp barb, and the black iron arrow pierced through his chest armor, carrying warm blood.It was only after he fell that he felt the sharp pain that pierced his heart. He fell on the snow, with blood foaming from his mouth, as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat. He couldn't breathe even though he tried his best. Take a breath.
He struggled to support himself on the snow with two maces, and wanted to get up, but he felt that all the strength in his body was gone.Just when he was about to stand up, an arrow pierced through the air from behind, this time directly piercing his shoulder, nailing him to the poplar tree behind him.
When his consciousness was lost, he slid down uncontrollably. The thick snow exuded a icy smell. He opened his eyes and saw the blue sky of Yanbei through the withered branches of the poplar.
On the poplar tree, squatting quietly.He was like a bird, a hawk or a falcon, something more dangerous than that.He didn't wear Yanbei's heavy armor, but the robe he had on the day he came. How could there be such a robe?Green is not blue, black is not black, but he looks so chic, the wind blows his sleeves, his whole body seems to melt into the poplar tree, his eyes are so calm, Meng Gao suddenly understood.
I was still wondering why such a good skill would stay here as a soldier.It turned out that he never looked at his group of people with indifference, but with compassion.
He should have thought earlier that the best thing on him should be that sword.
"This is the Yanbei man who used the double mace just now." The Xirong general named Amuhai threw a head at Meng Cang's feet. The generals who were waiting immediately burst out laughing.
Meng Cang is not only the general of Xirong, but also the future sun king in their hearts. Xirong's song sings that wherever the sun shines, it will be the territory of Xirong, and the prophesied king seems to be right in front of them.Not only these generals, but even these thousands of soldiers love and follow him fanatically from their hearts.
Moreover, Mengcang is indeed very kingly, not only victorious on the battlefield, but also has the wildness and wildness of the Xirong people in his bones.Compared with the nobles playing tricks and posturing in the north and south courtyards, he has both the cunning of a fox and the cruelty of a wolf. He led them to hunt the Dazhou people as prey, which really made these generals admire him.
"The Yanbei man who injured Tie Le seems to have appeared in the southeast." A spy came back and reported: "There are very few people with him, only a dozen or so."
"You're looking for death!" "You dare to come over when you see a crow!" "People from Yanbei are so stupid..."
The generals all laughed.They look down on the weak Zhou people. Yanbei blocked them for so many years. Although it is hateful, it has proved their blood, so they just call them Yanbei people.Tie Le is very popular among the Xirong generals. After he was seriously injured, everyone wanted to avenge him.If King Chayunshuo hadn't said that he wanted to encroach on Dazhou, they would have attacked Yanbei with all their forces and slaughtered the city for three days.
Meng Cang took into account King Chayunshuo's prudence and Xirong warrior's passion. Of course, it doesn't mean that King Chayunshuo is not brave anymore, but after that serious injury, his health has deteriorated, and he can no longer fight frequently.It is Meng Cang's character that can get along better with these young Xirong generals.
"Prince, Yu Yanran is already a turtle in the urn. Let's go back. We can reach Huyan Beiying before dark. This area is still too close to Yanbei. It's not safe after dark." The military adviser beside him advised.
Helian insisted on accepting this military adviser, saying that he used to be an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He saw that Xi Rong was destined by destiny, so he came here specially. His name is Luo Yuquan, and he is indeed a bit smart. like.
Before he could speak, those Xirong generals had already shouted: "This is the tributary of the Huyan River, passing through this forest is Jinshakou, it would be nice to be stationed on the river beach." "I haven't had enough fun yet, how can I go back!" " Capture the Yanbei man, tie him to the fire and roast him, cut off the meat to drink, and go back tomorrow!"
Meng Cang also raised his eyebrows arrogantly, and said with a smile: "You are too careful, even if the old man King Yanbei comes in person, I won't be afraid."
Seeing this, Luo Yuquan persuaded him not to move, and directly asked the soldiers to clear the woods to prevent people from ambush at night.The generals laughed when they saw how cautious he was, and the soldiers were not very obedient. Meng Cang swung his whip directly, and the horse neighed and left in the dust.The generals behind followed in a mighty manner, and suddenly the forest was full of whistles, rough yelling and cursing in Xirong dialect, and the sound of fighting each other with weapons.Luo Yuquan remembered how these Xirong people got into fights during the celebration banquet, and cut off a few fingers from betting, so he sighed inwardly, and rode his horse to follow.
The battle situation has been tense recently, and Meng Cang hasn't ridden his horse for a long time, and he has been honestly serving in the army when he fought against Youzhou, because he took the lead in the fight against Yanzhou before, and was slightly injured, but his father wrote a letter and scolded him , had to be honest.
He is also a person who likes to fight in battle, but now as the chief general, he has to restrain himself a lot, and he hasn't tasted blood for a long time.Even the war horse was wronged, and when it was galloping along the edge of the forest, suddenly the war horse neighed, jumped up on the spot, and bumped like crazy.
"No, I've startled the horse!" The generals shouted behind them, and some of them were laughing. People in Xirong all grew up on horseback, and Meng Cang knew how to ride a horse when he was four or five years old. There is no need for such a trivial matter as startling a horse. help.During the May Grassland Festival in Xirong, there were warriors who specially stabbed their horses to frighten them, and then tamed them to win the favor of their sweethearts.Meng Cang himself was not flustered, his war horse followed him through life and death, it was the leader of the wild horse herd, and it was unambiguous to go straight into the knife formation, this was still a startled horse.He smiled and held the rein of the horse, and just about to speak, he felt a sudden chill in his heart.
It felt very strange, as if a needle of ice had directly pierced the back of his neck, and the chill instantly spread throughout his body. The panic hit the bone marrow, and even his soul trembled.
Meng Cang didn't know that it was a person's intuition when facing a fatal crisis.
He didn't have time to know.
Luo Yuquan, who was at the end of the team, could only see from a distance that the crowd stopped suddenly, the neighing of horses, scolding in Xirong's language, and terrified roars rang out.Meng Cang's frightened horse lifted him up high, almost over the heads of the crowd, but the young man in the Xirong robe had a tall figure, as vigorous as a tiger or leopard, and he looked like he was holding the rein without panicking at all.
He even had a smile on his face, with an astonishing demeanor, like the son of god in the legend of the Xirong people.
Then the sword fell from the sky like this.
Luo Yuquan recognized people with swords.He also passed the imperial examination back then. When the scholars got together, they chatted and said that there were Wenju and Wuju in Beijing.But among the scholars, there is a declining gentry, who is very disdainful, saying that you people only know that martial arts people are good, but in fact, the real masters are all in Da Nei.Not to mention the holy guards, the most formidable one is a master of the East Palace, who once broke through the gate of the palace guarded by the guards alone, even thousands of guards could not stop him.He went straight in and out, coming and going freely, and finally caught him with tricks.
At that time, Luo Yuquan was just a timid little scholar. After winning the exam, at the Qionglin Banquet, he had also sneaked a glimpse of the legendary master in the Eastern Palace. He was unexpectedly young, a handsome and tall young man, dressed in a vermilion brocade robe, beside him. Only one sword.
Luo Yuquan didn't know that his sword was so sharp.
That sword pierced through the darkness of the poplar grove at dusk, and also pierced Meng Cang's iron armor belonging to Xirong, like a towering giant tree being broken, and a jade mountain toppled and unable to be supported again.Countless generals roared and cursed, rushed up to fight him, and wanted to die with his assassin in green robe.The overwhelming sound of horns spread throughout the forest, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen came roaring over, but Luo Yuquan just sat on the horse blankly, watching Meng Cang's body fall, surrounded by people.Blood gushed out, staining the snow covered with hoofprints.Xirong's armor is very thick, and Meng Cang's body is even stronger, and he even has dodge movements at critical moments.
Maybe he can survive or not.
Lingyan Pavilion is full of princes and princes, and the court is divided among factions. He wants a lot, and the Xirong is as powerful as a broken bamboo, eyeing the Central Plains, and it is a good thing that hit it off.With such a good vision, taking advantage of the envoy of Xirong's envoy to surrender quickly while he was in Beijing, it would not be difficult for him to be appointed as a Marquis and Prime Minister in the future.
He didn't know that the sword would pierce his dream.
