Chapter 386 – Western Chu Twins (I)
Autumn was high, the horses were fat, and the water and grass were plentiful.
However, further south from the Northern Mang Guseizhou, the scenery looked a bit desolate and boring.
It was full of yellow sand.
Worthy of being Northern Liang, so bitterly cold and barren that even the Mang horse, which is regarded as the closest thing to a camel, is a bit uncomfortable.
However, I heard that the pastureland around the two Longs in Liangzhou Guan, but is the production of the world’s first big horse feng shui treasure land, because it happens to be dipped in the word Long, which makes the North Mang South Dynasty civil officials and military generals are thinking about, will be regarded as a forbidden domain in the bag, able to straighten up the backbone of the court in the western capital of the loud speak a few big names, before the war, they are already eager to put out the word, willing to use the shoulders of Yang Kwang-du, Chen Xi-liang and Kou Jianghuai and so on. Those who are more valuable than the king’s head, to exchange for the right of ownership of several ranches over there, such as the world-famous Fiber Ranch and Tianjing Ranch.
Only this trip to the south, indeed some bad years, the western capital just heard a short time ago a good news, said that with the war heroes can be honored to be promoted to the summer press bowl of the species of the eldest grandson of the family, successfully persuaded the gang of vultures of the Rotten Mountain to return to the north of Mang, but wait until the army hooves have just stepped into the bird shit Liujiu border, immediately came the bad news, first of all, an unexpected north of the Liang cavalry by the border of Liujiu straight into the bypassing a series of heavy military guards such as the gentleman pavilion Wazhujiu, and so on, and so forth. A series of heavily guarded military towns such as the Junzikan Wazhu, straight to the Western Capital, shaking the countryside. Then the 10,000 elite cavalry of the seed sandalwood ministry was blocked in the Miyun mountain pass, and the seed sandalwood is still not known to be alive or dead. Sitting in the second line of the middle of the general seed shentong, soon to the king of the north court account on the plea for punishment, the emperor his majesty is not polite with the seed family, directly a paper transfer order to the middle, will be the seed shentong’s younger brother, that is the uncle of the summer press bowl kind of Liang led 8000 horsemen to leave the station, to go to the Guseizhou to intercept that the north of the Liang cavalry deep into the hinterland, nominally under the command of commander-in-chief HuangSongPu dispatch, the posture is obviously that, LiuZhou is very good! The pattern because of your kind of family descendants and rotten, then with eight thousand kind of children’s lives to pay back the debt, stopped, not to blame, can not stop, then continue to take the family name of the kind of fill, if the kind of cool is still not enough patience, then it will be the turn of your kind of Shentong personally, Liangzhou outside the war will not have to be involved in the obediently go to the territory of the state of the Gusei to clean up the mess.
Hong Jingyan inexplicably died in the plains of the Dragon’s Eye, tens of thousands of Zoran iron horsemen without a leader, in a flash by the front line of the major forces divided up.
In the first Liangmang war each loss in the northern grassland big Xie ticks, almost all have begun to play a small calculation, the great general seed Shentong fall, they can get their hands on how many species of the old soldiers of the hundred battles.
In the prairie, like those who like the wind and snow in the South Dynasty literati sitting and discussing, everyone feels awkward, but sitting on the ground to share the spoils, everyone is familiar with.
North Mang western line of the army in order to advance to the south, the speed is not fast, this troop in ten days ago, suddenly met 10,000 northern Liang Longxiang cavalry ferocious blockade, just half an hour, Huang Song Pu under the banner of the six thousand pioneers of the cavalry on the battlefield, from a short fight to the end of the battle to the sloppy collection of corpses, a lot of aspiring to Liangzhou Longguan power and wealth are not yet slowed down the God.
In fact, it can not be said that there is no sign, in the army from the south of the Gusei state transit into the border after the flow of state territory, their side of the horse fence with the northern Liang scouts hard to die on, and soon let learned the truth of the northern Mang generals have jumped feet cursing, good and bad, but it is the Liangzhou pass outside the White Horse crossbowmen ran here to spread the wild! Although the camp has been pulled south away from the temple, but the commander-in-chief Huang Song Pu or, hand in hand with the elite cavalry army of the southern dynasty of the Long relations of the military generals, for the movement of their own backyard, are forced to pay attention to the wind and grass there, do not let the tiger head of the city around the body to see a ride of the Northern Liang tour crossbowmen, is the emperor his majesty’s personal decree in the imperial court in the western capital of the results? Fatty Dong’s crow fence is dead, General Liu Gui’s black fox fence is also dead clean, and even Dong Zhuo’s brother-in-law is said to have lost his life in the Dragon’s Eye plains, and in the end, in vain, let that young Northern Liang lieutenant surnamed Li overnight reputation of the prairie, and now it is even more swaggering to the northern part of the Liujiu state to show off their power to come!
Huang Song Pu is playing the old battle of the sand field fame, so when the horse pen casualties spy reports continue to pass into the handsome tent, has begun to shrink the front, also slowed down the speed of the southward advance, obviously not to have success but not to avoid, this army, the backbone is the old south of the hospital king Huang Song Pu, is that the set of lawlessness in the North Mang southern dynasty in the Longguan warlord, the very simple reasoning, the main force of the army is precisely the Longguan major A and B surnames of the two words The main force of the army is precisely the major A and B surnames of Longguan. Although Huang Song Pu still tops the title of one of the thirteen generals of North Mang, the hat of the king of the South Court has long been removed, but also the old man who once retired, in the final analysis, barely called Huang Song Pu’s direct line of soldiers and horses, but it is more than 30,000 riders, worse than Liu Gui, who has been relegated to the battlefields of Youzhou nowadays.
To be honest, the first Liang Mang war, Fatty Dong personally presided over the big picture of the center line side is the nail in the coffin of the victory, even the tiger city are down, the North Liang general Liu Yunu’s body are sent back to the South Dynasty with a coffin, the situation is great, and Liu Gui sitting Liuzhou battlefield is at least considered to be an equalizer, although the battle losses are not small, but after all, even the Dragon Elephant Army vice general Wang Lingbao has been killed in battle, it’s just a pity that the Youzhou side is too much of a drag queen, probably Yang Yuanzan is really too old, even fell to the situation of total annihilation, give people in the gourd mouth dumplings, and finally only ran away from a Zojiran iron horsemen, which led to the North Mang full plate loss, so in the bottom of the heart, Longguan large and small powerful families, and do not think that the Northern Liang border army really have anything to be afraid of, especially than the Liangzhou cavalry and the Youzhou pawns to be born shorter than the head of the flow of the state soldiers and horses, in addition to in the first battle in the injured bones, and also take a few days, the Longxiang army. In addition to the Dragon Elephant Army, which had been damaged in the first battle, are there any other first class elites that can be taken out of the equation? No matter how wide-eyed you look for it, it’s gone. That’s why almost all of these guys are holding their breath, especially the ghostly Liangzhou crossbowmen, which is getting more and more annoying.
At dawn, overnight an old man in the company of several strong escort, slowly out of the heavily guarded cowhide tent, to a small slope to look south, accompanied by a crowd, a dress like the Chinese Confucian Confucian middle-aged man is particularly striking, in the face of the tiger old man in the old man, there is no trace of constraints, the old man is tall with white hair, armored and wearing a sword, there is no rotten old man, by and large, the age difference of one generation. The old man was tall and white, wearing armor and a sword, without any rotten old attitude, generally speaking, the age difference of a generation of them, the momentum is comparable. The old man is one of the few great generals of the southern dynasty, Huang Song Pu, and the Confucian man is in the North Mang military reputation of the kind of cool, this person in the North Mang jianghu is a first-class lords and heroes of the giant, never heard of the track record of leading the troops to war, this time the family should be led by 8,000 elite cavalry went straight to Gusei state to put out the fire, I do not know why it will be a lone detour to this, allowing 8,000 species of family elites plunged into the hinterland of the southern dynasty, the army involves the family This time, the military involves the family’s rise and fall, seed Liang seems to be too much of a child’s play.
Kind of Liang coincidence, personally saw the six thousand North Mang pioneer cavalry demise, and then made up his mind not to move nest, with the army to stay in the south stayed for so many days, during this period, this almost can be described as “only surviving” four words of the North Mang martial arts master, but also very leisurely personally shot twice, killed forty to fifty riders had already been The Liangzhou crossbowmen who had been detached from the battlefield. Huang Song Pu personally taught out of the horse fence, in the southern dynasty border army reputation is not small, but compared to the late generation Dong Zhuo’s crow fence or peer Liu Gui’s black fox fence, or to be a lot inferior, this is not to say that Huang Song Pu’s governance of the army with the military lost to the two, since the old man was able to hold the western capital of the military and government for so many years, and can be with the northern court of the great king of the north and south of the north and south of the total, naturally, will not be an unusual figure, just Huang Song Pu In these twenty years the identity of the king of the South Court, far heavier than the general, the mind had to tilt to the temple, since the family of the South Dynasty, naturally have to seek the interests of the entire Western Capital, for the Longguan family name and official sands two sets of colleagues subordinates to fight for the status of time, it is difficult to go to the border military personally, so this time to lead the army to the south, Huang Song Pu can not help but mixed feelings, long sparse battle, even if the military law strategy did not How to fall, but a lot of details, really can not be like that year that run as intended.
If it is more than ten years ago himself, the six thousand vanguard cavalry will never dare to venture forward, unauthorized and 10,000 Dragon Elephant Army to start the collision, but this is not really let the old man feel tired of the place, but the more unknown some of the insides, on the surface of the Longguan children Jie Jie difficult to tame, greedy for success to the disadvantage of the division, the fact is that the Huang Song Pu intended to make the combat strength of that the vanguard cavalry as a bait to induce the Liuzhou cavalry deep in the mud, the old man has long been ready to 10,000 elite cavalry ready to go, just waiting for the battle a little stalemate, will be able to reinforce the battlefield at the critical moment, and ultimately a hammer, a bite to eat that 10,000 Dragon Elephant Army, even if it is 20,000 troops for 10,000 Dragon Elephant Ride, Huang Song Pu is a great victory, whether it is the momentum of the false head or the actual situation, are so.
But compared to those stirring field main force against the riding battle, Huang Song Pu in this can only be called fleeting skirmish, found themselves some force is not caught, the first is overestimated Long relations pioneer cavalry strength, underestimated the strength of the Dragon Elephant Army’s rushing formation, to wait until 10,000 troops into the field of battle, from the original mantis into a pure rescue, even more fatal is in the next Battle prediction, Huang Song Pu that launched this raid Liuzhou cavalry main general, there is also the idea of luring the enemy into the depths, so the use of soldiers to hold the weight of the Huang Song Pu in a little hesitation, although the 10,000 elite troops to launch a decisive pursuit, but the strict orders of the riding general shall not be detached from the main force of fifty miles, which also means that the size of the war effort, only in the fifty-mile journey, and the last riding general to bring the old man a truth that makes people laugh and cry, the chase! Fifty miles after the order to stop the horse, the remaining three thousand or so enemy cavalry long to go, in addition to tens of white horse tour crossbowmen wandering far outside the battlefield, this ate the bear heart and leopard guts of the Dragon Elephant Army, there is no any reinforcements!
What kind of war is this?
With Huang Song Pu dealt with the Northern Liang border generals, Tiger City Liu Yunu, the original Huaihua General Zhong Hongwu, and how Zhonghu and so on, but not so out of their minds!
Huang Song Pu is worried, raising his eyes to look into the distance, frowning.
A Confucian shirt of the North Mang big devil kind of Liang glanced at the old general’s expression, laughed: “Huang old general, as long as you put aside the Lin Yao Feng Xiang two military towns where the vast western region, in fact, Liuzhou is such a big point of the place, the North Liang with the army again strange, but also snail shells to do do the Taoist temple, can not be a big wave of the tossing and turning. Even if the battle of Miyun Pass adds 20,000 Ragged Mountain monks to Northern Liang, it’s still just a drop in the bucket.”
Huang Song Pu shook his head and said, “Qingcang City in Liuzhou has several of the Xu family’s border army elites in Qingyuan military town echoing each other, and there are Yu Luan Blade’s Youzhou light cavalry to help tear up the battle line, so whether it’s in terms of strategic depth or troop strength comparison, it’s not as disadvantageous as we thought. What’s more ……”
Seed Liang took over the words and smiled even more, “What, the old general is also worried about the Western Chu Twins Xie Xijian and Kou Jianghuai, both of them are really in the Liuju battlefield to advise Northern Liang?”
The old man said frankly, “I believe that no martial arts general in this world can take these two people lightly, right?”
Seed Liang, who was as graceful as the kind of mountain immortal on the scrolls, laughed: “As long as Liuzhou’s troops never converge in one place, I believe that none of them will be a match for the old general. The current 30,000 Dragon Elephant Army compared to the first battle, although the number is not reduced, but also from the Liangzhou left and right cavalry drawn from the elite cavalry, but the combat power is still worse, as for the Kou Jianghuai under the Liuzhou youth is even more patchwork, it is difficult to go to fight that kind of hard battle, Xie Xibian remnants of the army is not worth mentioning, otherwise Qingliang mountain and the capital government will not be 20,000 Ruotuo mountain monks delivered to him. Full reckoning, Liuzhou native troops, is 70,000, the old general’s command is a full 150,000 more, and at any time to be able to get reinforcements from the southern border, as long as it is not a battle that is collapsed …….”
Said here, kind of cool self-mocking smile, did not continue to say.
For one thing, this is a bit unlucky, and for another, this view is too absurd.
Liuzhou is not the battlefield peculiar Youzhou Hulukou, and Huang Songpu is not Yang Yuanzan, and then the self-conscious Liangzhou border army can no longer spare so many strange troops to put into the Liuzhou battlefield.
The old man laughed it off and said, “Just Xie Xijian and Kou Jianghuai two young people, let Yan Zhenchun Yang Shenxing these spring and autumn veteran generals have suffered a big loss, and now there are even more young people in Liuju, which makes me such an old man, how can I be embarrassed.”
Seed Liang remembered that secret story and sighed heartily, “Ginger is still old and hot.”
Seed Rang deflected his eyes and looked towards the zone west of Qing Cang City.
Northern Mang Southern Dynasty’s first-class elite foot trekking pawns, temporarily drawn from various military towns, totaling more than 30,000 people, had attacked the Western Region directly.
At this point in time, they had probably already attacked the two towns of Fengxiang Lin Yao.
Northern Liang Cao Wei and Yu Luan knife two cavalry army, also completely no retreat.
Just not to mention the North Mang South Dynasty Temple and this western front army, in fact, even Qingliang Mountain and Huaiyang Guan Palace did not think that the new Liuzhou Vice General Xie Xijian, who was supposed to lead 20,000 monks to rush to Qingcang City, split his army into two roads and quietly entered the two towns of Fengxiang Linyao to wait for their turn.
And flow state general kou jianghuai, at this time is leading under the banner of 10,000 miscellaneous light cavalry, with the thunder of the trend to the north, and then in the yellow song pu horse fence may appear limit distance above, suddenly stop horse not to go forward.
The cavalry that continues to charge forward after a brief rest is the 30,000 elite cavalry under Xu Longxiang’s command.
The main field force of the Liuzhou border army, poured out their nests!
