Chapter 161: Song of the Spirit
The northwestern sky high came late in the evening.
The six thousand ghostly cavalry did not march close to the periphery of the two major border states of the Thistle River, but instead drew a half arc, if the northern defense line of the Thistle River was like a relatively flat and straightened bowstring, then the track of the ghostly cavalry was the bow arm. In the area encompassed by the bowstring and the bow arm, there are many strands of Northern Mang scouts who left the gourd mouth to roam around and poke around in it, just to prevent the army from being supplied by the lone Yu Rangers who are not afraid to go in deep to sneak in from the flanks. Yu Luan knife this breakthrough, still use the cavalry “forced” gallop strength, reached an appalling three days more than six hundred miles to advance, if only in the military affairs will only talk about the military on paper amateur view, or listen to more than the Northwest colt can travel thousands of miles of ordinary people view, this speed can be considered what forced the army? But if the two can see with their own eyes at this time on the ground resting Yuzhou cavalry is how dusty, look at nearly a hundred horses in the cavalry stopped on the spot after the scene of limp or even fell dead, will understand that this is very likely to be put into the battlefield at the next moment of the long distance rush is not easy.
In the twilight, at this time Xu Fengyen in a winter snow melting water source to wash the horse nose, this time they six thousand Youzhou cavalry a total of more than fifteen thousand horses, close to one person three horses, on the way to run dead horses more than four hundred, almost all are from the silver harrier city on the battlefield in the north of the northern Mang war horse, not that Mang horse stamina is far from losing to the Youzhou war horse, in fact just the opposite, the northern Mang war horse, although the battlefield charge of the explosive power of the northern Mang war horse lost to the northern Liang war horse. The explosive force lost to the northern Liang horse, but in terms of physical strength, Mang horse in fact, but also outperform a chip, just back to LiLu and LangShiEn two WanFuLong was all the way to Jibei, and in order to take care of the eastern front of the big picture, are less than one person double ride, even in the pre-war temporary rest day, with fine grain feeding horse for horse fattening, but still not enough to make up for back to the war horse physical strength of the damage, this time, the ghost rider pain in the heart of the life of the many years of “daughter-in-law”, marching and intentionally ride more North Mang horses, in the matter of grass feeding is more thick than thin, North Mang horses a lot of exhaustion is inevitable. After unloading armor rolled up sleeve Yu Luan knife carefully cleaned the back of the mount, laughed: “Originally can not run dead so many horses, if a person three riders are willing to fair equal share of the foot, at most fifty-six dead.”
Xu Fengyen looked around and smiled, “This is good, from tomorrow onwards there will definitely be a succession of battles next, let’s just take it as a way to build up our strength, our cavalry is obviously more familiar with the habits of the war horses in Youzhou, it’s better to die a few hundred more Northern Mang war horses than to die more people on the battlefield.”
Yu Luan Knife nodded and softly said, “Fan Fen’s more than three hundred scout riders have all spread out, mostly fifty riders per standard, and at least half a standard. After all, we have already begun to encounter the Northern Mang horse fences this morning, in order to prevent our army’s movements from being leaked, Fan Fen’s scouts must kill all enemy scouts as soon as they see them, or else as soon as they escape one of the Northern Mang’s riders, they will have lost all their efforts. I am grateful that Your Majesty is willing to send out those three personal escorts to assist Fan Fen’s scouts of those standards. With them traveling with us, the certainty of total annihilation of the Northern Mang horsemen will be much greater.”
Xu Fengnian laughed, “That young woman is the Xuan Zi Da Dangmei of the Whisking Water Room, the old man is a sword dao master of the Finger Xuan realm, as for that kid, his name is Yu Di Long, he is the eldest apprentice out of my three disciples.”
Yu Luan Blade joked, “They killed the Northern Mang horse fencing children, a bit like hitting sparrows with a bed crossbow.”
Xu Fengyen shook his head, hesitated for a moment and laughed, “I won’t say anything first, just wait, later on it will be Beiliang giving North Mang a little surprise.”
During this period of time, Xu Fengyen was like a most ordinary You Cavalry soldier, instead of taking away Yu Luan Blade’s military power, he also didn’t walk around like several generals during several short breaks, just acted as a temporary scout several times, going out to spy on the army away from the main cavalry. This time, all the light cavalry, discard excess provisions, reduce all the items that will delay the speed of the cavalry, in addition to a very few generals configured with guns and spears, all the cavalry only wear a cool sword and a light crossbow, outstanding brawn can be added to a hard bow and three arrows sacs. These days marching formation has been maintained in column form, until tomorrow after entering the combat area, the battle will be laid out in horizontal columns. The forced march, the ghost riders let the previous never deep into the bottom of the border army Xu Fengnian eye-opening, for example, those Yuzhou war horses do not need to ride how to pull, can be closely accompanied by the master for maneuvering transfer, even if the temporary stationed to rest, no matter how hungry and thirsty the horse is, always hovering around the master within a few feet, which means that even if the Yuzhou cavalry encountered a peripheral scouts too late to report the sneak attack, the 6,000 ghost riders still can Within half an incense burner, without any confusion, the armor on the horse formation to meet the enemy, all in one go!
Three feet of ice is not a day’s cold, Youzhou horse excellence, and “away from the sun to the north of the Liang most important horse policy” has a lot to do.
A standard scouts from the southwest galloped back, and the scouts standard chief alongside the ride is a young boy with a young face, horsemanship has been superb to the point that do not need to hold the reins of the horse, that hands together sleeve posture, and his master has five or six points of resemblance. The standard chief let his command more than forty horsemen dismount and rest, he and this child named Yu Di Long steered their horses to the side of the main general Yu Luan Dao and the “great general” Xu Feng Nian, dismounted after an arching clasp, and then reported the military situation, the original more than sixty miles away they ran into sixty horsemen of the Dragon Waist State, the elite of a town’s elite horses, had thought that it would be a fierce battle with heavy casualties, and the horsemen were not able to get away from them. was a fierce battle with heavy casualties, did not expect to be that child a ride first, the first to fall into line after the high leap off the back of the horse, a breath of two fists and whacked more than twenty riders, wait until the ghost riding scouts draw their swords to charge, has become a one-sided pursuit, one of the scenes is that the skinny young man’s body is still in the air, but also grabbed a branch of the Mang riders insidiously shot at the standard in the face of the feathered arrows to the child in passing to insert the head of that horse fence into the neck, and casually pushed away the corpse, and then the child was able to get to the horse fence, and then the child was able to get to the horse fence. Neck, casually pushed away the body, squatting on the back of the Northern Mang war horse, towards the horse patting through the Times with a grateful look of the standard bearer grinned.
As a result of this encounter should be evenly matched down, Youzhou scouts only wounded nine people, and the injuries are not serious. At this time, the stout standard-bearer could not help but reach out to rub the child’s head, unexpectedly the child’s body violently leaned back, dodging the standard-bearer’s palm, the child’s feet were nailed into the yellow sand land, the inclination of the leaning body was extremely large, but just wanted to fall down but did not fall down, instantly attracting a burst of applause from the nearby Youzhou cavalrymen.
Xu Fengyen looked at the child who was always pretending to stick his hands in his sleeves and glared, “Fart-sized child, what kind of patriarchal demeanor are you showing off, stand still!”
Yu Di Long hemmed and hawed, his body stood straight again, only then did the standard bearer succeed in rubbing the child’s head, because his fingers and palms were covered with calluses, so even though his movements were as gentle as possible, he still messed up Yu Di Long’s hair, the child secretly rolled his eyes, and then sighed in an old-fashioned manner. After that, that standard chief squatted by the water and washed his face carelessly, glancing at the child beside him who pouted and drew water with his mouth to drink, he would smile. This little guy is really powerful, a punch down, not only easily whacked a ride of the North Mang barbarians, even the horse was pressed to instantly break all four legs, fell to the ground, there is also a sweeping arm to the child to the iron armor with the body into two, the standard bearer of emotion, turned his head and said softly: “little guy, in the future to thousands of riders fighting each other on the battlefield, or to take it easy, the northern barbarians of the mounted archery The northern barbarians’ horsemanship is not bad, once they are on their tail, they will shoot in all directions, it will be very troublesome. Back then, our standard old standard chief, also has good martial arts evening body, at first is to the side of a few arrows hurt the ribs, fell into the root of the disease, otherwise will not be so early to quit the border army.”
Yu Di Long smiled brightly and nodded: “I already know, master told me, this is called two fists can’t beat four hands, dozens of hundreds of riders to kill the enemy, with thousands of tens of thousands of battlefield is not the same thing. Don’t worry, my eyes are very good, and even if the back does not have eyes, there really is a sneak attack from the rear, I can still feel that kind of thing called the killing machine, besides, the master also said, in our Northern Liang, on the battlefield to kill the enemy, as long as it is a battlefield, the front can be, other than bad, the back do not have to care, there is a danger, there will be robes naturally to help you block.”
That standard bearer asked, “Is that really what the Great General said?”
The child who drank several pounds of water in one gulp and wasn’t afraid of his stomach rising at all raised his head and gave a hmmm, “Isn’t that so?”
The standard-bearer crouching by the water rubbed his chin and lamented, “This is not something that a veteran of the border army would be able to say.”
“By the way, big man, what does robe mean?”
“It’s people who are equipped with cool swords and crossbows and then kill barbarians together.”
“But I don’t have a sword or crossbow, I asked my master for one the other day and he refused to give it. Then how do I count? Am I still one of your robes?”
“Of course!”
“Then, big guy, why don’t you give me a set of cool swords and crossbows? I’ve been craving for them, but if you’re too stingy to give them to me, you can lend them to me.”
“Little guy, it’s really not that I’m cheap, this sword and crossbow and war horse can’t be borrowed at will, or else they’ll be punished by military law. Only when I retire one day, according to the rule can leave a set of armor and crossbow, haha, then all send you can.”
“Which have to monkey years and months ah, talk to you really boring, forget it, master said greed more chewing can not be rotten, first the boxing practice solid before learning other. But I really want to wear a sword on my waist like Master.”
Listening to the child’s childish words, Standard Leader laughed brightly.
Yu Di Long turned his head to look at Xu Feng Nian who was standing not far away, and shouted with a pleading face, “Master! When on earth can I have my own cool sword ah, the big man has recognized me as his robe!”
“You’ve only been drinking the northwestern wind and sand for two or three days, and you dare to call each other robes?”
Xu Fengyen laughed and kicked the kid in the ass, Yu Di Long lunged forward into the water but did not crash into the water, only to see his hands clinging to the water surface, sliding out two water marks, his hands slightly propped up, his body was upside down on his hands and feet, and he stood still on the water surface.
Soon there was a second team of scouts returned to the army to report the enemy situation with Yu Luan knife, the previous stout standard bearer quickly excused himself and left, Xu Fengyen smiled and nodded his head in salute, Yu Di Long hurriedly slapped the water with a palm and leapt back to the shore, following the big standard bearer to continue to carry out the scouting mission.
The sky is getting dark, but for the army of ghost riders is definitely not afraid to march in the night, commonly known as “bird blindness” symptoms of night blindness in the southern army of Liyang may still be quite a lot, but the major border army, not to mention the elite night battle of the Northern Liang cavalry, is the two Liao and Jizhou, the cavalrymen also less bird blindness, on the one hand is the border towns to provide better than the dynasty of the mainland, on the other hand, the border soldiers also less bird blindness. On the one hand, the border towns have better nutrition than the dynasty, and on the other hand, the screening of the soldiers at the border, especially the cavalry, is also related to the target. Of course, late night raids, only by virtue of the Northern Liang border army regulations of a standard cavalry a torch light reflection, cavalry advance speed will certainly be greatly restricted, and the field night battle unless it is a specific battle with a clear goal, for the cavalry generals can also be avoided.
Six thousand riders like swimming dragons traveling in the yellow sand.
In the night, Xu Fengyen suddenly asked: “Yu Luan knife, have you ever thought, this march, we are far away from the two cities of Jizhou silver harrier Hengshui, Hulukou is even blocked by the North Mang 90,000 troops, although we can still use the war to feed the war, and take the North Mang’s supplies to feed themselves, but it is destined to be more difficult to fight a battle than a battle, and when the battle is unfavorable to North Mang to ultimately form the encirclement to the point of exhaustion, then the war is over. The point where the mountain is at the end of its rope, I and Yu Di Long’s four riders can leave if we want to, but I’m afraid that you and the six thousand riders want to die within the mouth of the gourd is very difficult.”
Yu Luan Knife laughed frankly, “No wonder the king is not very willing to get close to those Youzhou cavalrymen, is he afraid that he, the king of Northern Liang, is looking at them for the last time in their lives with every glance? In fact, you don’t need to be like this, Great General, since the day we marched out, what will happen is quite clear. These soldiers may not read much, or even just did not read, but a few years ten years of fighting down, who is not stupid, do not want to go to Jizhou to send death, not no, because of a variety of reasons, gone more than a thousand people, there are afraid of death to relations through the back door, gray left, but also because in the family is the only seedling, and the age of too young, to the hard to drive away.”
Yu Luan knife look extraordinarily calm, slowly breathed a breath, “But, since it came, it is all life and death look away, even if there is still hesitation before the war, to the battlefield, but also by who is not afraid to move forward. Fear of death? There must be, only two armies face each other, the cavalry charge only need how long? If your hands and feet are weak and you are afraid of death, you will really die. After a charge, you die, fast. After the charge, did not die, watching the side of the robe one by one died behind them, so lonely lying on the battlefield, naturally not afraid of death. Fighting would have been such a thing, our Northern Liang since the Great General out of Liaodong, to the Xu family iron horsemen infused with a gas, the whole thirty years will be nearly forty years of polishing and sharpening, is to raise this breath!”
Yu Luan Dao turned his head to look at Xu Feng Nian, his face solemn and pious, and said in a deep voice: “The most important thing is that, Xu Family Iron Cavalry or Beiliang Iron Cavalry, no matter how many people died in the battle, and how many defeats we suffered in the middle of the battle, but every time we got to the end, we won! Even on the battlefield we fought only a few dozen or so hundred people left standing, but we have never been afraid that after death there is no one to help us collect the corpse! The ones to be afraid of will only be the enemies that our Northern Liang blades point at!”
Xu Fengyen was silent for a long time, then smiled and opened his mouth to ask, “You, a Yu family’s first eldest grandson, with a mouthful of our Beilang, don’t you find it awkward and awkward?”
Yu Luan Knife seemed to freeze for a moment, obviously never thought about this question, glancing down at the big luan knife on his waist, and the cool knife on the other side of his waist, his eyes were especially clear after he raised his head, and slowly said, “When I first arrived in Beiliang, I was certainly not willing to call myself a Beiliang person at first, and after that, I also forgot when I blurted out the words, but since I don’t have half an impression of it, I think it should be a Water to the things, this may be the so-called implicitly. I Yu Luan knife heart and soul like the northwest desert landscape, bleak, vast, spectacular, in which, can make people feel small. Even the barracks in the smell of horse manure, smell for a long time, will also like, unlike in Jiangnan that a prosperous city of song and dance, wine and then good, drink too much also want to vomit, the beauty of the rouge on the body and then expensive, smell too much will be nausea. I Yu Luan knife, parents nurturing grace, family cultivation of grace, this life can only live up to …….”
Said here, Yu Luan knife take off the waist of the world’s sharp weapon list of the world’s famous knife “big luan”, gently thrown to Xu Fengnian, smiled: “I really want to die in battle outside the gourd mouth, collect the body is also difficult, in the future, within my grave, the king will put this knife good. By the way, Your Highness, besides the clothes grave, the monument forest behind Qingliang Mountain, I must also have a piece of it.”
Xu Fengyen threw the valuable Great Luan Knife back to Yu Luan Knife again and smiled bitterly, “Keep it first. Even if it’s a nine deaths, but as long as it’s not a certain death situation, don’t lightly say the word collect the corpse.”
At the end of the chen hour, the sky is still green and white.
A standard ghost rider scouts galloped, the standard and sword box cotton cloth has long been torn off the Mi Fengjie two riders were located in the head and tail respectively, the standard and lieutenant Fan Fen reported: “Forty miles to the northwest, to the north of the Mang night marching troops to the brightness of the fire to guess, there are more than 2,400 riders escorting the brigade of grain and grass to the south, the horse is equipped with two people and three riders.”
Fan Fen said to the main general Yu Luan Dao vice general Shi Yulu and his group, “In addition to the 2,400 horsemen, the auxiliary soldiers and civilians should be no less than this number.”
Probably fearing that Xu Fengyen was not familiar with the Northern Mang situation, Fan Fen added a few extra sentences, explaining, “The Northern Mang has been plundering the South in previous years, and would greatly recruit grassland tribes, if there are say 100,000 cavalry troops going on an expedition, they would often carry no less than 200,000 tribes and millions of heads of cattle and sheep, and the small half of the Southern Dynasties would be cleared out, different from what the Central Plains people imagined, during the Yonghui years, the Northern Mang cavalry troops would not be able to enter the country unless they broke into Jizhou. Jizhou to break through, unless they completely crossed the entire Jizhou and penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains, there never existed a supply line of more than 500 miles for food and grass, and they could quickly return to resupply after a battle. Moreover, their auxiliary soldiers were also completely equivalent to most of the war soldiers in Liyang except for the border troops, and even more powerful, because as long as they were given a bow and a horse, they could become regular cavalry at any time. Historically many battles that took place in the territory of Ji Nan, those Liyang armies that tried to raid the supply lines have suffered big losses on this, so this time, we have to count at least according to the North Mang’s 4,000 cavalry or even 5,000 cavalry ……”
Xu Fengyen didn’t say anything and kept listening attentively, but it was Shi Yulu who coughed, Fan Fen then hurriedly shut up.
Only then did Xu Fengyen smile and opened his mouth, “Captain Fan, I have been to North Mang before, and have seen their supply wagon transportation methods with my own eyes, so I still have some understanding of their battle strength. I’m just an ordinary cavalryman now, just charging into battle when I get there.”
Vice General Su Wenyao looked embarrassed, pointing his whip at Fan Fen and scolded, “Get lost, you’re not afraid of missing the military opportunity, when our king was learning the art of war with those generals, you were still playing with mud with your crotch open!”
Fan Fen scratched his head with a blush and rode his horse far away, without Yu Luan Dao and other generals ordering him to explore the military situation again, he personally took his scouts to go ahead. Waiting until the horse has run out half a mile, the lieutenant only after the realization of the eek, finally realized that this thing is not right ah, I Fan Fen forty-odd people, as a matter of fact, I play with mud when the king is not yet born ah!
When Yu Luanjie ordered the preparation of the “half-army” to fight, the order was passed from one layer to the next, quickly and accurately.
The 6,000 horsemen entered the battlefield at once.
Beiliang army than all the other armies in the world, there is one thing that makes a lot of people puzzled, already has the world’s best combat power, but still year after year in the minutiae of the article, especially in Chen Zhi Bao as Beiliang guardian, but also to the realm of the pure fire. So back then in the temple hall in Liyang, there was once a courtier flirted with a certain place even the hall guardian adults have to care about the barracks thatched toilets built in the place, so is not even the time to poop also have to abide by the rules ah? In fact, it’s a coincidence that after the Northern Liang army camped in wartime, it really has to manage the soldiers’ toilet time, eating, drinking, sleeping, all have detailed rules related to it. Non-wartime barracks even if there are rats, summer cicadas, winter snow, and so on “small things”, all to be accountable from the serious!
If the North Mang is a nation on horseback, born warriors.
Then Beiliang three hundred thousand border troops, that is downright was little by little boiled out of the war maniacs.
Big to the commander general lieutenant, small to the lieutenant standard head of the soldiers, all know when the war comes, what they should do, what should not do. You don’t have to think about what to do at all, everything will become natural. Because all those rules and regulations that have been handed down countless times under the stick are deeply imprinted in the bones.
As for those official titles that were bigger, it was simple, it meant military achievements.
The Northern Liang army has always been clear about reward and punishment. For example, the matter of malfeasance, Liyang territory may have long been accustomed to, Beiliang dare not say that the ban on malfeasance, away from the border will be kind of gate family fishing silver is not softer than elsewhere, but in the border army, once verified, even if it is the ink of a district a few taels of pension silver, directly over the hands of silver officials, the Department of Military Justice will go before the decapitation of the head of the public! The superiors of the corrupt officials were pushed up three levels and all of them were demoted. Beiliang Road Secretary Li Gongde privately said a meaningful words, will be planted descendants in Lingzhou so each of the money, that is, the poor crazy well. However, the Northern Liang on the reward for war work, traditionally not stingy, beheading a few, are promoted on the spot, back to collect the reward silver, are in the barracks open the box filled with a large piece of silver, on the spot to take away, the border army specializes in a large team of stagecoach riders are responsible for helping to transport the silver away from the border.
Xu Snap, when he knocked down the Northern Han Palace, the first thing he did was to open the treasury and divide the silver! At that time in the Liyang dynasty also do some supervisor matters of a certain sable temple is kindly reminded, be careful of the impeachment in the court. Xu Snapdragon said only one sentence, eat into the stomach, then pull out can only be shit, who want, then I turn back to lead the troops to their door squatting to go.
Six thousand Yuzhou cavalrymen certainly can’t swarm up as soon as they hear that there is prey forty miles away. Yu Luan knife order is temporarily by the “half of the army” to attack, when six thousand riders in charge of selecting the route of the vanguard battalion under the leadership of the rapid advance of thirty miles, six thousand riders began to change horses at the same time, dismounted and changed horses almost completely silent, three thousand riders began to single person single horse “slowly” forward, the remaining three thousand riders did not have a single person single horse, the remaining three thousand riders did not have a single person single horse, the remaining three thousand riders had a single person single horse. Forward, the remaining three thousand riders did not rush to attack, but also divided into the center of the army and the left and right flanks of one thousand riders, nearly 10,000 horses by the three thousand horses temporarily restrained by the immobility of the three thousand riders.
The day is just a little light.
At this time, the three thousand horsemen are only five miles away from the North Mang enemy army.
North Mang is not blind, sent to the east of the several shares of the horse fence is almost dead, although the few riders fled back to even how many enemy troops were not able to detect clearly, but the North Mang army under the command of the commander have a special “listen to pawns”, sticking his ear to the ground, although the answer is not quite accurate, but not so much as a few thousand riders will be said to be a few hundred riders. Upon hearing that there were at least 2,000 enemy cavalry, the two captains were shocked, but they quickly set up a cavalry line across the north and south, and the auxiliary soldiers also hurriedly mounted their horses as the second set of living forces, ready to enter the battlefield at any time.
That away from the sun Chu confronted for several years of the battle of the western base wall, from the initial 70,000 to 80,000 against 100,000, to the ultimate limit of their respective almost exhausted hundreds of thousands of national strength against hundreds of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people, constant attrition, constantly more sources of troops to replenish the period of time both sides with countless or wonderful or tragic battles, which has taught the later generations of soldiers a truth, in the two sides of the strength is not disparate morale is not the difference between the two sides of the war, at the outset In a war where there is no difference in strength and morale between the two sides, the one who bets alone and doesn’t know how to hand over his elite soldiers and horses to finalize the battle at the critical moment will often lose miserably. The reason why Chen Zhi Bao was able to stand out and become the only young general who was famous enough to be on par with the four great generals of the Spring and Autumn period, regardless of his battle achievements or reputation, was precisely because in his hands, he fought classic battles in which he was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, yet slowly regained the situation, and then turned his defeat into a victory, and he had never lost in any battlefield in which he had the superiority of the military strength.
The two armies were facing each other.
The battle lines had each been drawn to what they considered to be their optimal width.
When the two Thousand Husbandmen saw the flag, there was no more half-heartedness, it really was that word.
“Xu”!
Regardless of why this cavalry army of around 3,000 men appeared beyond the mouth of the gourd, it really was that genuine Northern Liang Iron Cavalry!
The Northern Liang cavalry advanced in an orderly manner without haste.
“Kill!”
As if they couldn’t survive that suffocating feeling, the two thousand four hundred riders of Bei Mang began to push the maximum explosive power of their war horses, taking the lead and began to launch a rapid charge, the roaring and hissing of Bei Mang’s riders resonated through the clouds.
On the opposite side, for the time being, the two vice-generals of the Yu Riding who had not yet really charged suddenly clamped the belly of their horses, and slightly shifted their direction on the way forward, and after approaching the horse located in the middle of the cavalry’s front line, Shi Yulu laughed loudly and said, “The last general will be very honored to be able to fight side-by-side with the great general!”
Su Wenyao also said, “What General Shi said is what I think.”
That one rider didn’t say anything, just smiled and nodded.
In the vicinity of this one rider, the cavalry formation looked like a blank space had appeared.
This was specifically ordered by the main general, Yu Luan Blade.
When the two vice generals each returned to their original positions.
Yu Luanjie drew out his coolsword, raised it high, and gently swung it forward.
Charge!
There was no heart-rending shouting demonstration like that of the Northern Mang.
There was only the sound of swords being drawn and the sound of hooves.
Although the three thousand riders of Youzhou were silent, there was an unrivaled perseverance, and fervor in the eyes of every rider!
We have not fought alongside Great General Xu Snapdragon.
But we have now.
The future robes of the Northern Liang Border Army will all envy us as much as we used to envy those captain and lieutenant generals.
Although we may not have the chance to see their envy with our own eyes again.
But, there are no more buts.
Let us die in battle outside the mouth of the gourd!
The two armies a staggered.
Battle swords against battle swords.
The Yuzhou cavalry that still had 2,600 riders left didn’t even turn their horses around, and went straight for those 2,000 or so Northern Mang Auxiliary cavalry to kill.
Just after a blink of an eye, two Beimang thousand commanders died, and half of the twenty or so centurions died.
Nearly nine hundred of the two thousand four hundred riders died.
Then just when they hesitated whether to continue to fight or abandon the auxiliary troops and foodstuffs to flee, a thousand Yuzhou cavalry rushed from afar, and the left and right flanks each had a thousand cavalry in a column position and crashed into the battlefield, which did not give them a way to live at all, so they could only fight for their lives.
All the surviving centurions are in fear and more disbelief, although they are not the border town elite cavalry, but these Northern Liang cavalry is only the Youzhou light cavalry ah, which has the first set of charge on such a heavy reasoning?
One hour.
Six thousand Yu cavalry will North Mang even war rider within five thousand six hundred people killed.
Under torture, there will be another one thousand two hundred riders escorting the grain and grass one hundred and fifty miles to the north, and the five thousand riders of the Youzhou who silently chose all the uninjured horses on the battlefield began to rush to the north.
In fact, the survivors are five thousand two hundred Yu horsemen, but two hundred horsemen are seriously wounded, they will turn back to the original way, traveling to the east, and finally at the border of the river state south.
But it was clear to everyone that even if it was the safest way to travel east, there would still be a column of horses that smelled the fishy odor and arrived.
Keeping up with the main army?
This is a running battle.
Once the cavalry that even struggled to march on horseback would only be a drag, and that was true after one battle, then after the second and third?
This Yuzhou cavalry army would become more and more overwhelmed and would only get more Yuzhou robes who could have killed many more Northern Mang barbarians killed.
The two hundred horsemen leading the group was a seriously injured lieutenant, it was he who took the initiative to ask to lead the wounded soldiers eastward, Yu Luan Dao did not refuse.
The man who had killed four hundred of the enemy’s mang riders on his own did not speak.
The lieutenant looked to the north and grinned.
Brothers, I’m counting on you.
Tired?
Yes, these two hundred or so of us are a liability.
What is there to be ashamed to admit. I just really no barbarians in front of me to kill, if there is good, die in battle is better than dying in the bumpy road, can fight to death a few is a few.
Suddenly, a rider broke away from the cavalry formation and galloped towards them.
It was the young woman beside the man, she looked like a soft and handsome woman, but not long ago I saw her killing people could make the lieutenant’s scalp numb.
She carried a medicine chest on her back and calmly said, “He asked me to send you to Hezhou.”
The two hundred riders were dumbfounded.
The lieutenant roared, “We don’t need you to care, kill two or three hundred more Northern Mang barbarians for me and you’ll get your money back!”
She coldly glanced at the lieutenant, “The voice is still quite loud, it seems that he won’t die for a while. Go yell at him if you have the ability. Also, the only thing that can make me go back is his order, and then you beating me. But with just you?”
The lieutenant reddened, “If it wasn’t for the fact that I took six stabs!”
She pulled the corner of her mouth and asked, “So what?”
The lieutenant swallowed his words into his stomach, his aura weakening a few points, “Still can’t beat you.”
Fan Xiaochai calmly said, “Don’t worry, he asked me to bring a message to you, take them back to Youzhou alive properly, and as for killing the barbarians, he will help make up for your share, as well as my share.”
At this time, the sound of a falling horse came from the cavalcade.
Someone had died.
Fan Xiaochai glanced at them, “Just take the body away, with me, as long as it’s not against more than five hundred riders, it doesn’t matter if you guys go even slower.”
The school lieutenant rolled over and dismounted, quickly walked to the corpse and squatted down, a cavalryman whose left leg had been pulled open and bandaged casually, squatted down next to the school lieutenant and the corpse, his previous injury was relatively light, he rode on the same horse with that fallen horse robber, he held the reins of the horse with one hand, one hand circled around to help his robber, but still didn’t manage to keep him.
Whether he fell off his horse, or died on the way home.
This cavalryman raised his arm and wiped his eyes, sobbing, “The last thing he said before he fell off his horse was that he hadn’t killed enough Northern Mang barbarians in his life, and that he would be reincarnated in our Northern Liang in his next life.”
Fan Xiaochai turned her head sideways and raised her head so that no one could see her eyes.
Grandpa, father, you are not ashamed to lose to such a Xu Clan Iron Cavalry.
Even more north, Yu Luan knife unprecedented angry face said, “Is not the next battle is over, it should Mi Fengjie go, another fight, is the Yu Di dragon! Then what do you do?”
Xu Fengnian nodded.
Yu Luan Blade was about to speak.
Xu Fengyen turned his head to this Yu Rider’s main general and said calmly, “I will stay until all of you are killed in battle. At that time, if North Mang can even leave me behind, count them as capable.”
Yu Luan Blade was truly thunderstruck, he had never been so annoyed in his life, “I just can’t fucking beat you!”
Shi Yulu said in a deep voice, “Your Majesty.”
Xu Fengnian smiled, “I know the difference between light and heavy, before I came to Jizhou, Huangfu Ping had already reminded me. Don’t worry, I still say the same thing, as long as that Great King of the Northern Courtyard doesn’t personally arrive here from Liuzhou, it’s not difficult for me to leave. Moreover, the Northern Mang Qi Practitioners are all pretty much dead, but we still have the Guanyin Sect in Northern Liang, and right now it’s me who can tell where Tuoba Bodhisattva is, but he doesn’t know where I am. Even if there really is danger, I can still get the news beforehand. Furthermore, if Tuoba Bodhisattva wants to come, he still has to pass two hurdles, one is Xu Yan Bing, and the other is the Wu Family’s Hundred Riders and Hundred Swords.”
Yu Luan Blade snorted coldly.
Xu Fengnian looked into the distance and suddenly whispered, “I’m sorry.”
Yu Luan Blade, Shi Yulu, Su Wenyao, Mi Fengjie, Yu Di Long, and more than ten riders in the vicinity all went silent.
Then coincidentally, Yu Luan Knife Shi Yulu and Su Wenyao began to hum a tune softly.
The Brilliant Northern Liang Town Spirit Song.
A farewell for the robes!
And go well!
Yu Di Long had never heard of this tune, but hummed along with a sobbing voice.
He finally put on his sword.
An iron armor was tied solidly on his horse’s back.
It was the one he took from the corpse of that big scout standard bearer.
To this day Yu Di Long did not know what the big man’s name was.
Master said that he should bring it back to Youzhou.
Yu Di Long pursed up his mouth, reached out and wiped it fiercely, gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and choked, “Big man, when Master drove me away before, what I promised you at that moment, it’s really not bragging, I, Yu Di Long, will definitely do it, and kill enough to kill 1,000 Northern Mang barbarians!”
There was a sad song between heaven and earth.
It spread throughout the five thousand Youzhou riders.
Humming softly together.
And so they went to their deaths generously.
A million households in Northern Liang, how many of them have iron clothes wrapped around their withered bones?
How many shovelfuls of dust will the emperors and generals take when they have paid for their achievements with a pot of wine?
Good men, don’t say that the heroes of the world are frightened of me.
Little lady, don’t hide your love and thoughts in your belly.
Come, come, come, try to hear who is playing the drum of beauty.
Come, come, come, try to see who is the human butcher in the world.
Come, come, try to ask who is with me to chase deer together ……
