Chapter 314 – People Die Before the Autumn Wind Rises
In the battle between two countries, the spies die first. In the battle between two places, the scouts die first. In the battle of Liangmang, all the spies and scouts died.
Liyang xiangfu two years of summer, the war has not yet officially opened the curtain, but the northwest pass has been a kind of rainy atmosphere, unlike the previous border between the two sides of the mutual wandering scouts lookout, in the fury of the North Mang empress decree, a strand of the Northern Liang crossbowmen and the North Mang horse fence began to change each other’s lives, almost to see that is to the end of the battle, just two decades, the size of the encounter more than forty, the Northern Liang white horse crossbowmen has casualties of up to eight hundred riders, Dong Zhuo’s crow fence, Liu Gui’s black fox fence as the main force of the North Mang scouts, the loss of more than a thousand riders, as for the South China Longguan border army from the miscellaneous flow of horse fence, is countless. Under the sky, probably only this yellow sand flying battlefield, it is possible to appear on both sides of the large-scale scouts to kill each other to cover the extravagance of the handiwork, we must know in the history of the Central Plains, there is no lack of a few hundred riders of roving bandits can be plagiarized in a few states, to the point of poisoning thousands of miles of the capital to shake the record, it can be seen, whether it is the outpost of the scouts, or the field of light cavalry and the use of a hammer to determine the heavy cavalry, the Liangmang have reached a sufficient to make the later generations marveled at! The peak of the cavalry’s combat power.
Along with the tiger head city along the border line on the scouts more and more tragic situation, this also means that the strength of the North Mang army, more than before, will soon be a desperate nest, then it will be the prairie big empty, all the soldiers and horses to raise the country south, knocking border Liangzhou.
Before the fall, a battle decided to Liang and Mang both sides most of the scouts, and ultimately did not survive until the autumn winds rise.
The brother-in-law of the former South King Dong Zhuo, the crow fence commander Yelu Chucai, and General Liu Gui’s beloved general, the Black Fox fence general Lin Fu, lured the enemy in with two hundred riders of Longguan horse fence in the Longye’er plains, a total ambush of 1,400 riders of elites, inducing the four hundred riders led by one of the three lieutenants of the White Horse Crossbowmen of Liangzhou, Sun Ji, to intrude into the hinterland of the Longye’er plain, one hundred and sixty miles north of Hutou City, with the lieutenant, Sun Ji, dying on the spot. Sun Ji, one of the three lieutenants, died on the spot, three lieutenants died on the way to break the back, and only one hundred and twenty rides of crossbowmen broke through the siege and withdrew to the southern end of the Longye’er Plain, all of them were wounded, but they were still cut off by Lin Fu’s two hundred Black Foxes.
At this moment, Lin Fu’s cavalrymen were lined up between more than one hundred Northern Liang crossbowmen and Hutou City. Behind him, he could vaguely see the silhouette of the former No. 1 city of the Liyang Dynasty, which was broken by Dong Zhuo, who once climbed to the top of the city and personally broke a flag of the word “Xu”.
Lin Fu is wearing light armor, riding a handsome rouge horse, he is a young man personally experienced Hong Jia north run of the spring and autumn remnants, originally by virtue of the war has been official to Liu Gui army main force of ten thousand captains, in accordance with the reasoning that do not have to personally lead the army to participate in the battle of this scouts, but one of the Black Fox columns is the blood of the old general Liu, and secondly, the ancestor born in the Central Plains of the blue state of the family of the Lin Fu, there is also an old account to be with the Xu family to properly calculate, and the Xu family, the first thought is to collect the interest money. Just think of the first to collect interest money, and now don’t look at the two sides of the scouting force is not much, but now it is clear that His Majesty the Emperor and a large group of generals with the order, each of them are staring wide-eyed staring at each of the war reports into the temple of the Southern Dynasties, and even to do the official has not been uniquely insightful master Liu Gui, in the farewell occasion has also been a long and sincere private instructions to him Lin Fu this time to make sure to perform well, frankly, whether the future by the The first thing that I want to do is to make sure that Lin Fu can perform well this time, saying that whether or not he will be able to go further in the future from Liu Gui’s heart to become a member of the southern dynasty’s important ministers, the success or failure will be here.
Previously, all the way south chasing the group of Northern Liang dogs, no close combat Lin Fu are very leisurely, have not pulled the bow also have not drawn the sword, so together with him, the side has been in the two hundred horseback Black Fox column, compared to those who are bruised and battered crossbowmen, naturally appears to be more strong, so that the final sudden acceleration around to the North Liang cavalry in front of the final, but also looks very easy to write, and The north liang iron horsemen are all over the world, the white crossbowmen are all over the world. The Northern Liang Iron Horsemen were the best in the world, and the White Horse Crossbowmen were the best of the Liang horsemen.
Lin Fu sat high on the back of his horse and couldn’t help but snicker, not underestimating the strength of the Northern Liang crossbowmen responsible for the direction of Hutou City, but Lin Fu, as a 10,000-man commander, didn’t think it was worth it for the enemy to die in battle under such a disparity of strength, and Lin Fu also felt that it didn’t seem to be hearty enough. Three Liangzhou pass ranger, the old seniority lieutenant Sun Ji in the center, Wei Tumu stationed in the previous two heavy cavalry army of northern Liang quietly out of the border of LiangYue, and the new young lieutenant Li HanLin’s six hundred riders, mainly wandering in the western gateway of Liangzhou north of the QingYuan military town, this time, in order to eat all the ranger of Sun Ji, Lin Fu had to invite the crow bar of the imperial family descendant of the Yelu ChuCai to participate in the hunt together, he was really South Longguan aristocrats of the South Dynasty to train out of the gang of waste horse columns have no confidence, it is simply dishonored the North Mang horse columns of this title, the strength of equal contact battle, the face of the Northern Liang White Horse Rangers simply have no chance of winning, no wonder that the year by the Northern Liang border army jokes for the donkey columns.
A black fox fence deputy lieutenant glanced at the more than a hundred riders and retreating Northern Liang cavalry, eyes more and more hot, patting the horse to the side of Lin Fu, “General, what to say next? General, what should we say next? We can’t just give away all our military achievements to that foreigner named Yelu for nothing, right? General, look, that Sun Ji guy’s head is now hanging on that Dong Zhuo’s brother-in-law’s horse, and his own brothers are all very jealous! According to His Majesty’s statement, the head of a captain of the crossbowmen is very valuable, and if you add the head of Wei Tumu or Li Hanlin, you can almost get a marquis. Hey, General, are you really not moved?”
Lin Fu looked around, hesitated for a moment, and gave a suffocating answer that made his deputy greatly deflated, “No hurry, let’s consume the sharpness of this group of Northern Liang cavalry again, let’s continue to retreat, as long as we block their path of retreat.”
With a command, the Black Fox column followed the movement of the Northern Liang crossbowmen and continued to retreat slowly, like a wolf pack waiting for an opportunity on the grassland.
Lin Fu has a kind of sharp intuition cultivated from years of warfare, Sun Ji who bit the bait and lost his life is certainly a big fish, but the hooked big fish is not necessarily the only one, lifting the rod too early is easy to collapse the fishing line.
A horse in pursuit of the enemy Yelu Chucai suddenly gently tilted his head, easily avoided a crossbow, behind the ride of the crow fence, although scared out of a cold sweat, but still with the bow arm toggle off the crossbow, this grassland horse catcher origin of the crow fence in a fit of rage, rotating lasso, precise strangulation of the enemy cavalry at the end of the tail of a white horse crossbowman’s neck, a strong pull, it will be ruthlessly torn off his horse, heavy fall on the ground of the Northern Liang Rangers tried to kill, and then the enemy’s horse was killed, the enemy’s horse was killed. The ground of the Northern Liang Rangers tried to stand up, has been that the horse galloped to the crow fence stooped down a knife wipe over the neck, in the head is about to come to hand in the moment, another ride of the crow fence in advance to extend the sword poked in the head, rubbing shoulders, laughing, immensely skillful will be the head tied to hang on the side of the saddle, the previous ride of the crow fence can not help but cursing, but lowered his head to see his own saddle on both sides of the four or five heads, and the head, and the head, and the head, and the head. Cursing a few words will not matter.
Yelu Chucai grin, horse side hanging that the most valuable head of the Northern Liang crossbowmen lieutenant, after a long pursuit of wind and sand blowing, has no longer see the blood drenched look, severed head at the blood dried.
Fifty paces of spacing, both sides of the arrows have back and forth, there are constantly crows fence and the Northern Liang crossbowmen after the arrow fell off the horse, most of the arrows in the face of death, but after the death of the battle, the Northern Liang cavalrymen’s fate is not cut off the head, and even some of the rear did not get much credit for the battle of the North Mang horse fence, will also vent their anger to the headless body shot a few arrows on the head, either directly drive the horse on the ground corpse! A pedal past, occupy the absolute advantage of the crow fence and Longguan scouts after tacit understanding of slow speed acceleration, constantly rotating, many horse fence wandering in the northern Liang defeated crossbowmen on both flanks to splash shooting, a few horse is waving a sword, loud shouting, show off their strength. Especially after some people to hide in the belly of the horse in a fancy way to avoid the northern Liang crossbow, but also attracted a large group of horse railings of strange shouts, momentum like rainbow.
Yelu Chucai suddenly a bit of mood, because the northern Liang crossbowmen killed less and less, already less than a hundred riders, more important is the enemy every time is responsible for the breakout in the front as well as the rear of the temple at the end of the two groups of people, these two sets of boards will die in front of the robes of the cavalry, it seems that the crossbowmen have never been the biggest hat of the characters, from the school lieutenant Sun Ji to the three lieutenants, a number of lieutenants, to the current only remaining a few crossbowmen standard bearer, are all the same. Yelu Chucai narrowed his eyes and looked at those from the beginning to the end without exception, all are silent and fight, silent and die of the head of the North Liang border army elite, heart and chest for no reason welled up a wave of anger, this primus who participated in the first Liang Mang war face grim, a clip of the horse’s belly, forward assault, quickly over a few raven fences, instantly shorten the enemy and our horses spacing to less than ten or so paces, that the tour crossbowmen standard bearer who turned his head to see this scene silently Throwing away his light crossbow, he drew out that cool sword, his arm blood flowed straight, without waiting to kill the enemy, he had already stained the sword in his hand red.
Yelu Chucai crotch of the physical strength of the rouge horse has been with the enemy, not waiting for the crossbowman standard bearer chopped out that knife, Yelu Chucai ruthless knife wipe out the head, after shaking the wrist, the head was lifted up, and by the distant sharp-eyed ride a crow bar an arrow pierced through the harshness of the arrow.
The head rolled down to the ground, and then was poked by a horseman in the rear of North Mang with his sword, and was reduced to a war hero.
Both sides of the scouts in the long border line running around, more than a thousand riders of the cavalry want to God does not know the ghost of the mobilization, difficult as heaven, only Dong Zhuo under the banner of the crow fence such elite cavalry, can be hundreds of riders marching to transfer noiselessly, accurately to say it is strong enough to clean up all the nails in the vicinity of the route, not only to obtain the victory of the contact war, but also to completely pinch off a small group of travelling crossbowmen between the transmission of military intelligence to paralyze their local battlefield espionage.
If you look down from the sky at the southern end of the Dragon’s Eye Plain, the two cavalry armies are like a moving carpet, only on top of the carpet, there is constantly spattering blood.
