Chapter 320 – The Standard Bearer of Northern Liang
Bei Liang white horse crossbowmen lieutenant Wei Musheng before dying in battle, did not see Yuan Nanting’s 10,000 white feather light cavalry thunder, but his righteous chiseling formation, for Yuan Nanting Department of the cavalry won the unimaginable advantage, because the strength of the two cavalry, often get the first opportunity to win the chance to win.
The two sides of the Liang and Mang have been fighting on the border for nearly twenty years and know each other well, the prairie cavalry’s most skillful tactics such as hunting and swindling retreats once made the Central Plains total 200,000 elite cavalry on the border at the end of the Dafeng Dynasty, and in the two battles it was all wiped out, but now on the Beiliang Iron Cavalry which is the best in the world in terms of horses, weaponry, and the degree of skillfulness of the battle formations, the Beiliang Cavalry would not dare to loosen up their formation as a price to try to pull apart the enemy. At the cost of loosening their own formation, in order to try to tear apart the enemy’s large formation, and then successfully divided the battlefield, forming an overwhelming advantage in a number of localized, and then wantonly nibble away at it. To know that this is not an unusual sense of nomadic and farming struggle, not the Central Plains army can only rely on tall cities or heavy armor foot array to resist the grassland cavalry to go like the wind, but the actual ride to ride, so the North Mang will be twenty years to see the North Rang as a great danger, so that the Taiping order is determined to go down to the North Rang and then swallowed in the Central Plains, the North Mang imperial division which has a phrase widely circulated: as long as you bite the teeth to take the North Rang four states, 30 states in the Central Plains is as easy as a slap in the face, and the North Mang is the most important state in the Central Plains is the most important state in the Central Plains. The Chinese government has also been trying to take over the Central Plains, but it has not been able to do so!
Yuan Nanting’s 10,000 white feather cavalry from the flank of Dong Zhuo’s private cavalry suddenly appeared, spreading an extremely long front line, the Northern Liang cavalry has a custom, always heavy crossbow and light feather arrow, only this white feather guard can be said to be an exception, everyone with an arrow capsule inserting a white feather, longer than the horse bow, when the old emperor of the Liyang life the only time the imperial chariot traveled to the Northern Liang border, the human butcher Xu Snapdragon’s cavalry to participate in the school of martial arts is the white feather guards, according to rumor, when the old emperor looked up to see It is rumored that when the old emperor looked up and saw the white feather arrows shooting out to the north, he sighed with emotion, “I never thought that in the middle of summer, I would also be able to enjoy the scene of snowy skies, it’s magnificent!”
Dongjia private cavalry general Agudamu galloped on his horse, hissed repeatedly, and gave out one order after another. Grassland cavalry although with the passage of time, especially after Hongjia north run after the spring and autumn remnants brought a large number of military books, for the sand field deployment of the matter, has not only limited to the daytime flags, night battle torches so rough, the general has been equipped with a considerable number of specializing in order to pass the orders of the flag rider, in order to the whole army as an arm in order to strive for every small battlefield each centurion are clear general intent, rather than only know roughly to the The first thing I want to do is to make sure that every centurion is clear about the general’s intentions in every small battlefield, rather than just knowing roughly where to charge and where to reinforce. However, there are only a few North Mang cavalry that can really do this, and the reason why Liu Gui can be highly valued by the North Mang empress and win the reputation of “half Xu Snapdragon” lies in the fact that Liu Gui’s cavalry’s fighting style is the most delicate and most similar to that of the North Rang cavalry, and so the winning game can definitely be won, and the losing game will never be a big defeat.
Liu Gui outside, Dong Zhuo’s infantry and Helian Wuwei’s West River Army is also counted as two, as for Dong Zhuo’s cavalry, enough to let the North Mang insightful people sigh, at first due to the battle too prominent, and then subject to the constraints of North Mang’s royal court, and even had to deliberately suppress the number of cavalry in the number of 10,000 riders, the reason why Huang Song Pu left his post in a gloomy manner, seems to be a series of unfavorable battles of the Wazhuji Pavilion, may not not have been to the south of China’s cavalry to implement a radical reforms related. The drastic reforms related to the North Court grassland Sydney tick and the South Dynasty patriarchal valor have been regarded as the intention of mischief, presumptuous tampering with the fundamental ancestor, his heart can be put to death.
On the other hand, the new Xiazhubao seed Tan in the Hulukou siege embodied all kinds of reforms, but did not receive too much criticism from the royal court, in addition to the grasslands need to establish a hero, the seed Tan born and raised in the northern Mang military identity is not a talisman?
Ten thousand riders in the charge after a short rest before the White Feather Guards, the first to draw their bows and shot, arrows such as winter blizzard covered the sky, hastily set up to meet the enemy Dong Zhuo’s private cavalry instantly hundreds of riders hit by arrows fell from the horse, but the eight thousand private cavalry of the valor of the bravery of the brawny, but also at this time to get the fullest exposure, Agudamu and those who are the thousand captains of the established strategy is no deviation, the formation of the gradual unfolding of the White Feather Guards to prevent the formation of the most conducive to the bow of the arc encirclement! The White Feather Guards formed an arc-shaped encirclement that was most favorable for horse bow shooting.
But occupy the first opportunity of the northern Liang side riding did not stop, but began to change the formation, but also the white feather light cavalry’s outstanding mobility to the extreme, so the battlefield will invariably appear a magnificent scene, 10,000 white feather light cavalry not only did not intentionally pursue the thickness of the middle army formation, but instead, in the attack on the way to the left and right flanks suddenly accelerated the speed of the arc from the previous integrated charge cavalry, invariably turned into a tendency parallel to the two dragons. The two dragons, and Agudamu’s cavalry was once divided into three left, right and center, the first encounter with the White Feather Light Cavalry of the two thousand riders were immediately trapped between the two armies, and the back of the enemy’s cavalry articulation of the Dong family’s main cavalry, led by Agudamu himself under the army did not have the slightest stagnation, and did not continue to bury their heads in front of the front rush, otherwise, even if they rushed out of this “corridor! Otherwise, even if they rush out of this “corridor”, they are bound to leave behind more than a thousand corpses.
Agudamu did not hesitate to turn the head of the horse, leading the army to the south of the enemy launched a collision formation, at the same time, he ordered the rear of the two thousand cavalry at any cost to the north of the cool rider, the strength of the slightly inferior Agudamu is obviously to use their own two thousand riders of the life of the delay in the war to complete the whole one of the six thousand Dong family of the private cavalry ate 5000 riders of the White Feather Guards, for one thing this is the loss of the opportunity for the helplessness of the action, and then again, White Feather cavalry of the formation of light horses There is an inherent shortcoming, that is, the front line is long and weak formation, can not withstand the six thousand horsemen’s brutal charge, such six thousand horsemen against five thousand horsemen, the advantage is by no means as simple as one thousand more people.
Fast.
After the two cavalry contact, the essence is a fast word.
This kind of fast is not only the speed of the horse sprinting, not only the speed of the horsemen’s bow shooting, but also the speed of the change of the battlefield response.
The Central Plains more majestic border poetry, more clans and towns, just since the founding of Qin, both well read and able to fight the border Confucian generals are very few, even if there are more than one is to guard the customs and expand the border powerlessness, so all the generations, from the Dafeng Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Northern Han and then to today’s Liyang, the occasional ministers of the United States posthumously the first of the Wenzheng, only no one can be posthumously Xiang word, Xiang, a word implying that there is a virtue in the land, armor has to labor to say that the Central Plains are divided into parts and pieces! To say that the Central Plains divided and divided for eight hundred years, civil wars, there is no lack of military generals to establish the country’s success, according to the theory that the word Xiang is not too much, but the founding emperor of the Dafeng, who created the precedent of the subjects to obtain a posthumous title, once said that only those who raised the whip to the desert can be posthumously Xiang, and since then, successive generations of monarchs have had this tacit understanding. Xiang word is hard to come by, the Dafeng dynasty has given too much blood drenched in the previous lesson, Dafeng heyday called the world to raise eight hundred thousand horses, even to the end of the decline, there are still two hundred thousand side riding, but successive two generals an old and a young, the old man is a battlefield veteran, the young man is more on the paper and robust extraordinary, the results of all the steppe cavalry hooves under the body of a defeat, and ultimately the scourge of half of the Central Plains, the big reason is that the real large-scale cavalry battle. In the real large-scale riding war, the opportunity is always fleeting, but as long as the decadence of the emergence, certainly defeated. The history of the prairie cavalry is always ambiguous, but it is just a set of the old saying, until Liyang Ding Ding in the Central Plains, and at the border to eat three consecutive defeats had to be attacked to defend, in Gu Jiantang presided over the Ministry of the Army before they began to really detailed research on the tactics of the prairie cavalry, after that, some of the court generals who are interested in the side of the work began to find that the reason why the prairie cavalry is able to scourge for hundreds of years, and the reason why they can be used to fight in the south. The reason why the grassland cavalry has been able to plague for hundreds of years and invade the South like tea and food is not as simple as the fact that they were born to be skilled in bowing and horseback riding.
Regardless of whether the Liyang court mouth to admit or not, I believe that the temple yellow and purple ministers will inevitably be in the bottom of their hearts to celebrate, fortunately, the Zhao family door, there is still that almost emptied the dynasty of the northwest of the Cavalry, there are three hundred thousand negative armored iron horsemen to deter the North Mang barbarians, the Central Plains will be able to win the nearly two decades of rest and recuperation, only to have the courage to say that in the future with the grassland Cavalry war outside the country.
Along with Agudamu’s change of formation, the White Feather Light Cavalry also began to change again, the northern five thousand light cavalry in the middle of the position began to quietly break, half to meet the North Mang rear two thousand Dongjia private cavalry, half began to follow the North Mang main cavalry army to the south to push, do not give the enemy to create the main battlefield strength advantage, but continue to maintain the Dongjia cavalry army of the main force of the absolute suppression. If Agudamu was able to see this scene before and after in its entirety, he would have been shocked at the horrific tacit understanding of the multiple lieutenants of the northern White Feather Light Cavalry, who did not communicate with each other in any way at all, yet the cavalry formation was formed so quietly, which required a sense of smell, boldness, and trust, which were indispensable.
White feather guard was one of the four teeth of the northern Liang Wei Fu Cheng’s direct line of troops, and Wei Fu Cheng is one of Chen Zhi Bao’s two direct line of generals, Wei Fu Cheng and Deng Xiong animal does not take a soldier and two riders went to Shu, Qi Dangguo continue to Iron Butte, Lotus Battalion old pawns from the Yuan Nanting to take over the White Feather Light Cavalry, the former is the Xu Snapdragon son of righteousness, the Xu family’s loyalty is unquestionable, and the factionalism of the Yuan Nanting on the body of the color is very light, but was once with the Lin Doufang and hundreds of other Beiliang old man, together with the then son of his highness Xu Fengyen into the capital, with Xu Fengyen’s hereditary replacement, the Beiliang border army also water to the change of dynasty, to say and Chen Zhi Bao has a great affinity with the Iron Floaters and White Feather Guards two departments of the heart did not have twisted, did not hold the mouth of the sulking, I guess no one can believe. So this Yuan Nanting expedition to the Dragon’s Eye child plains, 10,000 white feather light cavalry almost everyone shouted painfully in the battlefield to kill the enemy, better than nesting outside the Liangzhou Pass full of other military eyes to be much more comfortable to know that the first Liang Mang war fought so tragic, even the great snow dragon cavalry army and two snow hidden for many years of heavy cavalry army have been deployed, are all the Xu family’s old battalion origins of Iron Floating Butte and White Feather Guards results, and even the North Mang barbarians have not seen! I’m not sure if I’ve heard anything about it. Can not hear some strange words?
Yuan Nanting this time to Huai Yang Guan Palace, almost to the table with Chu Lushan to speak, said that the battle is not the turn of the white feather light cavalry, then he really have no face to go back to be the main general, simply stay in the Palace as a dog’s ass backwards knife and pen bureaucrats forget it.
Sensing the movement of the White Feather Cavalry in the rear, Agudamu’s scalp was suddenly numb and he angrily shouted, “Break the formation together with this general!”
Yuan Nanting as a third-grade general, and all the generals of the Northern Liang border army in the same way, in the battlefield are draped with the same style of armor with the soldiers, of course, Yuan Nanting retinue of pro-horsemen will never be less, this is compared to the He Zhongshu Yuanxun more young, compared to the Yu Luan knife and other new nobles are more senior riding generals, can be described as a typical Northern Liang stalwart of the generals, through the Spring and Autumn Warfare or the tail end of the emergence of the head, but it is not considered to be early! Stand out, career climb are in the Xu family after sealing the king in the northern Liang, relying on a little bit of war step by step, down-to-earth, similar as Wei Fu Cheng, Deng Xiong animal and Ning Emei and other border army youth faction, more so, but these people’s attainments in the art of war, absolutely can not be underestimated, Xu Primrose that “my northern Liang iron cavalry randomly pick out a lieutenant, can be thrown to the Central Plains to be a state general! Xu Snapdragon’s words “I can take out any lieutenant of the Northern Liang Iron Horsemen to be a general of a state in the Central Plains.
Under the protection of many iron armor, Yuan Nanting narrowed his eyes and looked at that Dong family’s private cavalry general’s decisiveness was a bit unexpected, as for the response of the several northern lieutenants under his command, it was reasonable.
Yuan Nanting raised his arm to make a gesture, the southern part of his auger dragon cavalry formation began to bend, collectively to the further south of the horse and move, but the speed of the two heads of the cavalry is more inclined to the rapid, although it seems to be facing the Dong family’s main cavalry chiseling formation posture, to take measures to avoid its sharpness, but the real tactical intent is very crisp, that is, to make the six thousand Northern Mang cavalry drums of chiseling formation fall short, his own five thousand riders are especially The center line of the cavalry and retreat, and ultimately form an arc mouth, with the northern pursuit of the enemy’s three thousand White Feather Light Cavalry, to catch a turtle in a jar, slow knife to cut meat, little by little to exhaust the six thousand riders of the spirit of the two thousand riders to two thousand riders of the battlefield, no matter who wins or who loses, can not change the end of the Dong Zhuo main cavalry army was destroyed.
This white feather light cavalry cunning to avoid the battle, want a quick battle to the Agudamu hate the teeth itchy but can not help, that kind of use of milk energy but can not hit the opponent’s feeling, simply let a person crazy.
The opponent is not strong enough and cowardly, but the speed is too fast, the color of the Northern Liang B class horses, the color of the body clad in light armor, give up guns and spears, only wearing a sword hanging bow, even if in the haste to change the formation in the defects, as the opponent of the Dong family cavalry even if you see, can not be grasped.
On the sand field, only the grassland cavalry let the Central Plains infantry deep in the mud of the illusion, can let the North Mang cavalry, especially the Dongjia private cavalry such as the border elite, as if in the swamp, probably only the North Liang many cavalry in the first class light cavalry.
However, Yuan Nanting, who had the victory in his hands, did not take it lightly, in fact, several white horse crossbowmen had already galloped along the periphery of the arc formation, telling him that there were 6,000 Zoran iron cavalry reinforcements in the north, which would arrive in half an hour at the slowest, and were led by the martial arts appraiser, Hong Jingyan, in person!
Yuan Nanting, who never stopped his horse, looked at the young faces, especially the one in the center, full of armor and blood, and asked with a smile, “You are the White Horse Lieutenant Li Hanlin, right?”
That one rider nodded his head and said in a deep voice, “Precisely the last general!”
Yuan Nanting smiled, some mixed feelings, the hall of the Northern Liang Road Secretary Li Gongde’s eldest son, even the real sword by the border killings rose to the most expensive crossbowmen lieutenant, now the young people are really not bad, sharpness is not worse than their gang of old guys when they were young, ah, not to say that there has been, we must know that their gang of old guys back then is not afraid of barefoot shoes, and therefore the sky and the earth are not afraid, dead! No loss, alive to earn, unlike now in the Northern Liang border army in this set of young people, this Liangzhou white horse lieutenant Li Hanlin, and flow state general Kou Jianghuai, from the Central Plains high family of the Yu Luan riding general Yu Luan knife, that can be said to be born with a golden spoon, the Lord, put aside in the Central Plains side, it is estimated to be too late for the wind, snow, snow, music and song, and where happy to crawl and roll around in the pile of dead people.
Yuan Nanting inadvertently glimpsed the heads of these three riders near the saddle, the veteran general who is used to the deaths of his brothers and sisters in battle took a deep breath and said: “Lieutenant Li, this general has already received the news, Qi Dangguo’s 6,000 riders have already been approaching, and won’t enter the battlefield any slower than Hong Jingyan’s Ruo Ran iron cavalry, and then your crossbowmen will be able to withdraw from the battlefield, don’t try to be strong, you have been the last seed of my Beiliang scouts! You are already the last seed of my Northern Liang scouts, I won’t let you die! So you and Wei Musheng hurry to clean up the battlefield within two quarters of an hour, if after the arrival of the Iron Faust and the Johoran cavalry, you are still seen by this general to be left here alone, even if you are lucky not to be killed in battle, afterward, this general will still drive you out of the crossbowmen!”
Li Hanlin, who clasped his fists and led the way, finally said hoarsely, “Wei Musheng has already died in battle.”
Yuan Nanting froze for a moment and was silent.
Yuan Nanting looked at the back of the young three riders, and at that moment, a thought surfaced in the old general’s mind, the 300,000 tombstones on the back of Qingliang Mountain, can’t we keep letting the young man’s name grow more and more!
Yuan Nanting turned to look at the six or seven riders in the retinue, they compared to the unusual brave cavalry, some of the differences in the temperament, the kind of calm and collected, not only relying on the outstanding force and slightly cranes, but also with a kind of sands and rivers and lakes of the detached breath.
Yuan Nanting smiled and opened his mouth, “All the masters of the Flickering Water Room, you have heard the news, it’s not good, it’s that Great Master Hong Jingyan who is rushing here.”
A lightly armored old man who always gazed at his breath and nourished his spirit touched the sword on his waist and said blandly, “Anyway, just don’t let General Yuan die before us.”
On the sands of the hinterland of the Dragon’s Eye Plains, Dong Zhuo’s main force of 6,000 cavalry was in a desperate situation, and Yuan Nanting’s 8,000 White Feather Light Cavalry, which he personally dispatched, was becoming more and more comfortable, constantly harvesting the heads of the enemy army.
The 2,000 cavalry of Yelu Chucai, the commander of the Crow’s Fence, were fighting with a comparable number of White Feather Cavalry, and neither side showed any sign of defeat.
Qi Dangguo’s 6,000 iron buccaneers and Hong Jingyan’s 6,000 iron cavalry that had left their quarters without authorization came across each other and arrived at the battlefield almost at the same time.
The two streams of iron armor collided head-on.
The Zojiran iron horsemen wanted to save the main cavalry army of the Dong family which only had more than 3,000 people left, and pounced on Yuan Nanting’s 6,000 horsemen who were expanding the battle results, while the iron buccaneers directly circled the battlefield on the left flank where the two light cavalrymen of Liangmang were entangled.
Light cavalry against light cavalry, iron cavalry against iron cavalry!
Qi Dangguo, the main general of the six thousand Iron Floaters, was located in the center of the front line and appeared at the forefront, one man, one horse, and one iron lance, leading the way.
Old Liang King Xu Snapdragon six righteous son, Chen Zhi Bao amazing, battle achievements, the world attention, the reputation of the white soldier saint, is stepped on the Spring and Autumn soldier armor Ye Bai Kui’s corpse above to get, the name to the real. Though he rebelled from Northern Liang and became a vassal of Western Sichuan, his reputation has not been diminished.
Chu Lushan, although in the Central Plains infamous, but a thousand riders open Shu destined to remain in history, and then in the North Mang hinterland is more he curbed Dong Zhuo twelve consecutive victories in the pace, not only with the North Mang the old South House king of the South known as the “South Chu North Dong,” more is regarded as Dong Zhuo, the North Mang the art of war of the Lord of the Lord’s suffering.
Yuan Zuozong, won the battle of the Princess Tomb even the Western Chu is incredible, the historians of the military afterward, extremely respected, categorically, if not for Yuan Baixiong, then Xu Snapdragon seven put together the army of Liyang, there is no chance to fight the battle of the Ding Ding battle of the West Barrier Wall, and is now also has been a Northern Liang cavalry commander, the name is right.
Yao Jian, Ye Xizhen, also in his lifetime is quite a lot of temple praise, both scholarly style, but also able to strategize, if not late in life, by virtue of the two men and the young feudal king of the friendship, each served as a state assassin in no time.
Only Qi Dangguo, not only the Liyang court and the Central Plains officials have always been contempt, even within the Northern Liang is rarely mentioned, the popularity is not even as good as Ning Emei’s group of young and strong military generals who have gained fame, and even the promotion to the Iron Floating Tutor General is also regarded as a nepotism of the new king of Liang, that’s all, it does not have anything to do with Qi Dangguo’s talent in leading the army.
Even those who are familiar with the Xu family business of the Qingliang Mountain characters, most of them are also on the Qi Dangguo this impression of courage but no strategy of the trap generals do not think, this person is the best thing in his life, is probably to carry the flag of the king of the Xu word to follow the people behind the butcher saddle, the biggest achievement in his life, is inexplicably became Xu Snapdragon’s righteous son. The most important achievement in his life is that he has somehow become Xu Snap’s righteous son. His talent is mediocre, his reputation is not obvious, and his war achievements are low. Yao Jane Ye Xizhen died before, Chu Lushan do not want to help the argument, Yuan Zuozong unwilling to plead for mercy, only Qi Dangguo reverse scales out of the voice. At the time of the Northern Liang capital Chen Zhi Bao chose to leave the Northern Liang alone, Chu Lushan indifferent, Yuan Zuozong cold eyes, and Qi Dangguo secretly retained, but Chen Zhi Bao ultimately did not stay.
This is a character in the most shouldn’t make glue to go to the mud, how can in the most important military achievements in the northern Liang to win the respect?
Qi Dangguo shot through the chest of a centurion of the Zojiran iron horsemen, shouted angrily, and actually just continued to straight forward, not only will the body of the centurion fly off the back of the horse, the gun shaft blood-stained iron gun is once again stabbed into the chest of the latter horsemen!
Unstoppable.
The cavalry formation with general Qi Dangguo as the arrowhead was like a crack in the formation of the Zoroastrian iron horsemen.
Qi Dangguo on both sides of the horizontal line on the battlefield, almost an instant, both sides have two hundred horsemen died on the spot, if someone is unfortunately injured and fell on the horse, is not like the light horsemen fighting that like the enemy cut off the head, but directly by the enemy horses rushed through, trampled to death, no possibility of survival.
Iron horsemen fight, fall off the horse that is dead.
Four thousand riders Zoran cavalry into the array, there are still two thousand riders left to stop their horses and watch from afar, in this vast battlefield seems out of place.
After seeing this scene, Yelu Chucai plucked off a feathered arrow that was shot at his face by a Beiliang light cavalry lieutenant, left the battlefield on his own, came to the two thousand iron cavalry that didn’t move like a mountain, and said angrily to the indifferent man who was watching the fire from the other side of the river, ”Hong Jingyan! Why did you see death and save him?!”
The Xiong Qi man with a pair of snow-white eyes stared at this imperial relative of honorable birth and asked rhetorically, “How did I see death and save it? Aren’t the four thousand Zoran iron horsemen saving people?”
Yelu Chucai laughed back in anger, pointing his battle sword at this Martial Assessment Patriarch who had once fought with his brother-in-law for the title of Grand King of the Southern Courtyard, “At this point, you still have to reserve your strength? What, after breaking your guts to the Northern Liang Cavalry at Hulukou last time, you want to rely on these two thousand riders to still save your life and flee?!”
Hong Jingyan pulled the corner of his mouth, “I didn’t think you and Lin Fu could make it from the beginning, the reason why I took the risk to come here is just that I don’t want you Yelu Chucai to die here for nothing, of course, this time, the White Horse Traveling Crossbowmen went back to the hundreds of riders alive, but it’s you guys who died all the way out, then His Majesty the Emperor will surely settle the scores in the autumn, after all, Muyong Baoding’s family name is Muyong, and he’s not afraid to be held accountable, and I Hong Jingyan I Hong Jing Yan, although the power is thin, although pressing the troops is a reasonable move, but there are some things, sensible is more important than reasonable, that’s why I appeared here, otherwise you think I am full of running to come and join in the fun?”
Hong Jingyan stared at this furious stout military general and sneered, “Military honor? Is there any of the so-called military merit here that you and Lin Fu had before?”
He shifted his gaze to the distant battlefield and laughed coldly, “If you Crow Columns and Black Fox Columns died in vain, then wouldn’t my 4,000 elite cavalrymen die even more in vain?”
Yelu Chucai was infuriated, blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth, reaching out to cover his mouth, his eyes staring resentfully at this Zojiran Iron Cavalry Co-Master.
Hong Jingyan flatly said, “Yelu Chucai, you remember, there are land immortals in the jianghu, there is never an upside down immortal in the sand field, so your brother-in-law’s 8,000 private cavalry died here, it is the general trend, I, Hong Jingyan, am only responsible for bringing you back to the southern dynasty temple alive, as for the rest, you don’t want to wish for, and you don’t have the qualification to wish for it either.”
Yelu Chucai did not turn around, but pointed at the battlefield behind him with the war sword in his hand, “Don’t you want to remove the head of the main general of the positive third grade Iron Floating Tartarus, Qi Dangguo? One of his heads can make you, Hong Jingyan, a step closer to being a marquis! Qi Dangguo is also Xu Snapdragon’s righteous son!”
Hong Jingyan smiled playfully, seemingly not bothering to speak anymore.
Yelu Chucai sat up straight, let go of the palm that was covered with scarlet blood, looked at those tough and unusual Zojiran iron cavalry behind those Hong Jingyan, laughed: “You barbarians running out of the Zojiran mountain range, spread on such a gutless master, it is really unfortunate in the luck of the draw, in the future, the war merit is don’t want to think about it, but not afraid of dying on the battlefield! ”
A few Zoran Iron Horsemen had bad eyes and were ready to move.
Hong Jingyan raised his arm, preventing those captains from drawing their swords, gently holding the reins of his horse with both hands, looking into the distance, smiling: “Yelu Chucai, I have to say, you’re far worse than that slippery brother-in-law of yours. He, ah, is just one surname worse than your stupid brother-in-law, what a pity.”
Yelu Chucai somehow suddenly calmed down, turning his head to look at the killing in the south, and then at the north which was very peaceful in comparison.
This young military general who was born to be superior as Hong Jingyan said, the rising star of the Northern Mang who became a ten thousand commander at a young age, said to Hong Jingyan with a calm face, “I don’t need you to save me, but I’m begging you for one thing, Hong Jingyan, take away as many of the Dong Family’s cavalrymen as you can, and if you say yes, I’ll apologize here for what I said earlier about the bastards. ”
Hong Jingyan who did not rush to give his promise asked curiously, “Then you?”
Yelu Chucai’s eyes were tough with the paranoia most familiar to children of the steppe, “My brother-in-law said that you have to be willing to part with your capital to do business. I will go and follow your 4,000 Zojiran cavalry to the end, how many Dong Clan cavalry can I let you save with this life, you, Hong Jingyan, will see to it, how is it?”
Hong Jingyan narrowed his eyes and finally managed to nod slowly.
Yelu Chucai’s face indifferently dialed his horse’s head, turned his back to Hong Jingyan, and said softly, “I am the one who will die, some words have been said, and you shouldn’t be angry at the other Dong family sons and daughters, in the final analysis, you don’t want to personally take action today, and you don’t dare to kill that Qi Dangguo, aren’t you afraid of being chased after and killed by that young feudal king on the battlefield in the future? However, I feel that if it were in the place of Bodhisattva Tuoba standing here, he would definitely make a move.”
Hong Jingyan’s eyes swept through a flash of icy killing chance.
But in the end, Hong Jingyan laughed, “Don’t worry about dying, maybe I’ll personally help you take revenge.”
Yelu Chucai, generously went to his death.
Curbing the horse on the way forward, he laughed, this young man remembered his brother-in-law side of the little girl called Tao Manwu, remembered that she often hummed a tune, he once tried to follow the little girl and his sister humming, but was brother-in-law laughed and scolded as more difficult to hear than a war horse snorting, and after that he was resentful no longer to make things difficult for himself.
The grass will grow next year, the geese will go and return.
The spring breeze will blow this year, will the gentleman return?
The grass is green on the green stone board, and the green-clothed man on the green stone bridge is humming the tune of Jinling.
Whose daughter smiles down?
The yellow leaves are falling this year, one year after another.
Autumn winds will rise next year, is the maiden there?
The yellow river flows with yellow flowers, and the yellow flower maiden in the city of the Yellow River, pounces on the yellow butterflies.
Whose son’s sword is in the sheath?
Yelu Chucai glanced at the sword in his hand, which had two cracks, raised his head and then laughed, “The geese go and come back, I won’t return this year!”
Behind him in the distance Hong Jingyan that a ride, and two thousand Zoran cavalry is still static, Hong Jingyan does not care about a dead man’s dying words, but he is immensely concerned about the dead man’s words of thoughtlessness.
In his place, Tuoba Bodhisattva was bound to kill Qi Dangguo today.
When Xu Fengyen went out of his body and traveled far away from North Mang, he passed through the Johoran Mountain Range, and in that golden wheat field, he, Hong Jingyan, avoided fighting that time.
At that time, Hong Jingyan firmly believe that his choice is not wrong, he wants to martial arts and the world two things together to become the bag, can not do without one, he wants to bear paws and shark’s fins at the same time, to go farther than Tuoba Bodhisattva, walk higher, whether it is the jianghu or the imperial court, so there is no need to intentionally, and a certain death with a person who will be killed by the two losses.
It was just that Hong Jing Yan did not expect that the knot that should have been automatically untied with Xu Fenian’s death at the hands of Wang Xianzhi, after Wang Xianzhi, that old pimp from Wudi City, unexpectedly failed to kill the surname Xu, was increasingly blocking his own martial realm.
Hong Jingyan gently exhaled a breath, those treacherous eyes that were naturally snow-white, staring blankly at the azure sky, cloudless.
This great master, who was once regarded by North Mang as the most promising to surpass Tuoba Bodhisattva, told himself in his heart, to sharpen his mind, let’s start from killing you Qi Dangguo.
Hong Jingyan withdrew his sight and turned his head to give orders to those several thousand horsemen.
To their two thousand riders to save those three in the smallest battlefield in the middle of the Dong family cavalry army of only more than a thousand people left, and then will return directly to the resident.
Although they did not understand, the Zojiran Iron Horsemen who were naturally obedient to military orders still obeyed the order and started charging.
Hong Jingyan, who continued to patiently look out over the battlefield movements, frowned furiously before muttering to himself, “It’s really a celestial sensation, so I can see that I’ve gambled correctly.”
Hong Jingyan turned his head to look towards the east and snorted, “Xu Fengyan, you are against the Heavenly Dao at every turn, the fate of the heavens is on me and not on you.”
Hong Jingyan gently strangled his horse and slowly moved forward, his face smiling with incomparable pleasure.
Three battlefields, two thousand White Feather Light Cavalry versus two thousand Dong Clan private cavalry, the battle losses were roughly the same, both with only half of them left alive. The last 2,000 Zoran Iron Cavalry were also going to rescue this place.
On the second battlefield, the main force of the White Feather Cavalry under Yuan Nanting’s personal control had already won the battle, and Dong Zhuo’s top cavalry general, Agudamu, died under the sword of a nameless soldier from Beiliang after personally killing more than 20 men. The 2,000 Dong Zhuo cavalrymen who were caught in the encirclement, after the death of their main general, still did not surrender.
One person surrendered.
At the end of the most tragic battlefield, 4,000 Zoran iron horsemen and 6,000 iron buccaneers had already cut through each other’s formations three times!
Yelu Chucai was killed.
His body was recognized, his head was cut off and held high on the battlefield by that Iron Float cavalry lieutenant.
The face of the Northern Liang lieutenant who made this action did not have the slightest bit of joy, only grief!
In the battle of Liangmang, what do you need surrendered pawns for?
There were no surrendered pawns either.
Perhaps if this battle went on and on, say the North Mang army broke through the Rejecting North City outside the Liangzhou Pass and fought all the way to the territory of the Beiliang Road, there would be people who were meticulous and willing to surrender. For example, if the Northern Liang iron horsemen drove into the Southern Dynasties, there will be people who are willing to live and not to die.
But these two situations would have to wait until many people died.
Without personally visiting the Northwest border, without witnessing the two armies facing each other, one may never understand the magnificence of both sides.
So the biggest joke under the sky is that few people in the central plains of Liyang respect Beiliang’s 300,000 iron horsemen, but instead, it is the North Mang as the great enemy of life and death, no matter how much they hate the Beiliang Border Army, in the deepest part of the heart of many people, but they always consider that army as an opponent worthy of respect.
Hong Jingyan’s horseback ride slowly and comfortably ran forward, seems to be waiting for something quietly.
Three battlefields, corpses everywhere, war horses whimpering.
When you are in the jungle, it is not easy to die because you are afraid of death.
Being in the sand field, but can not allow you to be afraid of death.
A person’s jianghu, life and death is a big deal.
With countless corpses piled up a magnificent sand field, life and death is the smallest little thing.
After Hong Jingyan slowly appeared in the crowd’s field of vision and got closer and closer to the battlefield where Iron Faust and the Zojiran Iron Cavalry were located.
First, there were the seven or eight riders of the Whisking Water Room, who had been keeping an eye on this Northern Mang’s top expert from beginning to end, quickly withdrawing from the battlefield and galloping away, and then more than a hundred riders of the Iron Floaters who were approaching this person began charging to intercept them almost simultaneously.
Yuan Nanting, after pulling out his battle sword from the chest of the corpse of one of Dong Zhuo’s private cavalry, raised his eyes and said in a deep voice to that personal guards’ commander who was closely guarding his side, “The situation is not right, that person should be making a move towards the Iron Floaters’ side, we have to try our best to stop it!”
That personal guard looked at the panting veteran general, and as soon as he dropped his blood-sticky helmet, he laughed, “General, I’ll bring a few hundred riders over there!”
Yuan Nanting was about to speak, that personal guard commander who had followed him in battle for many years had already gathered up a group of nearby cavalry and turned his head to grin at Yuan Nanting, “General, to be honest, you’re really old, so don’t hold us back!”
Yuan Nanting bent down and laughed in anger, “Bullshit!”
Not waiting for Yuan Nanting to stop, that personal guard had already led hundreds of white feather light cavalry to rush away.
Yuan Nanting wanted to follow, but was stopped by one of the guards who stayed behind.
Yuan Nanting exasperatedly said, “Get out of the way!”
The young retinue, although somewhat fearful of the general’s might, still gritted his teeth and said, “The commander gave me the eye and forbade me to let the general get into danger.”
Yuan Nanting angrily said, “Who’s the bigger officer?”
The young man who refused to get out of the way muttered lowly, “A county official is better than the current administrator, and the captain has always told us in private that there are times on the battlefield when his orders are even greater than the general’s.”
Yuan Nanting loudly rebuked, “Get out of the way! Believe it or not, I’ll let you roll up and get out of the White Feather Guards right now!”
That young man’s red eyes were full of stubbornness as he said, “If I’m not afraid of death, what else am I afraid of!”
Yuan Nanting was so angry that he almost subconsciously slashed down with his sword, startled himself and hurriedly put down that battle sword, sighed and cursed breathlessly, “Rabbit brat.”
Seeing that this bold White Feather Light Cavalry seemed to want to turn around and rush to that fourth battlefield of the day, Yuan Nanting angrily shouted, “Get back here!”
The young light cavalry pawn wanted to say something but stopped.
The White Feather Cavalry general looked into the distance and softly lamented, “Even if it’s my own selfishness, it’s better if one less person dies.”
Yuan Nanting clearly remembered the great general once said, he Xu Snapdragon in his life is not afraid of the sky and the earth, only the most afraid of someone to see him after reporting the name, because remember the name of the person who will die in the future, owed a debt, remembered extraordinarily clear, can not be forgotten for a lifetime.
Exhausted Yuan Nanting breathing heavily, looking around, the white feather light cavalry this raid remarkable, but his heart only endless sadness.
Qingliang Mountain there, originally nameless tombstone, and will have so many new names.
Yuan Nanting was suddenly startled and turned his head to stare.
There was a rider in the Iron Float Cavalry who suddenly rushed out of the bloody battlefield that had yet to end.
He was stout and held an iron spear.
The yellow sands of the desert, the warhorse was pitch black, and the iron armor was dyed red.
Qi Dangguo rushed towards that distant rider without any hesitation, he knew that the Northern Mang barbarian called Hong Jingyan was coming for him.
Qi Dangguo’s figure was already shaky after leading the enemy formation for three times, even his arm holding the iron spear began to tremble violently.
Facing that co-owner of the Zoran Iron Horsemen, who was known as the second master of Northern Mang.
Sweat and blood intertwined on that resolute face, Qi Dang Guo just charged forward.
The man vaguely recalled when he was young, the age of the righteous father told him personally, physique and then outstanding brawn and then amazing good man, fighting to the end of the war also have a grip on the sword and gun unsteady, but as long as there is still a breath in the heart can not be shaken, people are afraid of death, Hades will be immediately come.
The man who is afraid of death, the king of hell will immediately come to his door.
Outside the battlefield, there is a young man in Qingliang mountain wutong courtyard after getting urgent spy, in the Huaiyang pass to give a nearly harsh wording of the military order, he abandoned the horse and swept, alone, all the way to the customs Qingyuan military town, saw that the handwriting unfamiliar epistle.
Then, he continued to run north.
That was the first time the young man saw Qi Dangguo’s handwriting.
The handwriting was not good.
Young from the military sands of the rough man of martial origin, rarely write, used to see the letter of the young man around, every time the New Year Qingliang Mountain posting spring couplets, the six righteous son of the human slaughter, Chu Lushan will be the one who will be the most attentive guy, Yao Jane Ye Xizhen will be pertinent to comment on a few sentences, Chen Zhi Bao Yuan Zuozong habitually do not say a word, but only this is called Qi Dangguo’s Hanzi, will be smiling with the teenage son of His Royal Highness! Ask for a few spring couplets to take back to their own homes, and then never let the servants to post, but must be his own hands, year after year, even the House of the underlings are accustomed to it.
The young man’s father, the old man alive once casually talk about those righteous son, said Chen Zhi Bao heart is the most heavy, Chu Lu Shan heart is the deepest, Yuan Zuozong heart is the most mellow, Yao Jane heart is the most mixed, Ye Xizhen heart is the most chaotic.
Only when it comes to Qi when the country, the old man laughed to himself, said this simple man simply do not have a heart.
At that time, the young people followed the old man and laughed out loud together.
Huai Yang Guan Palace.
Chu Lushan face grimly looking at a latest spy report, Yuan Zuozong’s face is also extremely heavy, turned to stride towards the door.
Chu Lushan shook his head and said, “There is no need to go, the king …… Xiaonian has already moved.”
Seems to be talking to himself, Chu Lushan added, “Old Qi may not die.”
Yuan Zuozong sneered, “Not necessarily?!”
Chu Lushan suddenly became furious, “Yuan Zuozong! What’s the point of you going to the Dragon’s Eye Plains now? Catch up?!”
Yuan Zuozong crossed the threshold and calmly said, “I’m not going over to Hutou City, Liuzhou has Kou Jianghuai and Xie Xijian teaming up, whether things work out or not depends on their skills, I’m going to Youzhou, to Hulukou. Since I’ve decided to make a preemptive strike, why don’t we just have a big one.”
Chu Lushan said dismally, “Go go go.”
Yuan Zuozong stopped and stood outside the doorway, saying in a nonchalant manner, “If there is a day when Huaiyang Pass can’t be defended, remember that there’s still a Reject North City to the south.”
Chu Lushan waved his hand, “No need for you to talk too much, I didn’t think you were rambling before.”
North of Hutou City, Longye’er Plain, above the battlefield.
Qi Dangguo, the main general of the Iron Floaters, collapsed on the ground, his iron armor shattered, and blood continued to gush out.
The seven Whisking Water Room expert dead soldiers failed to block that Northern Mang Patriarch who dismounted and walked on foot, and even the hundred riders of Iron Floaters and the three hundred riders of White Feather Light Cavalry also failed to do the same, and were just torn apart by one person in their formation.
Qi Dangguo, who had only delivered a spear, was punched in the heart by that person and fell from his horse, sliding out ten or so feet backwards.
That person drifted down beside him and laughed, ”Before you die, might as well tell you that Xu Fengyin is on his way, actually very close, very close, just a pity that it’s still a bit late. Qi Dangguo, isn’t it an unwilling death?”
Qi Dangguo’s chest rose and fell dramatically, blood continued to seep out of the corners of his mouth, he could no longer say a single word.
But his elbows were taut and his ten fingers gripped the ground in death, as if he still wanted to struggle to get up.
Hong Jingyan closed his eyes and said intoxicatedly, “This is what it’s like to resonate with heaven and earth ah, now I realize why the earthly heavenly realm was described by Qi Xuanzheng as ‘just the light outside the door’, this scene inside the door, it’s truly wonderful!”
He looked down, “Xu Fengyen came late, but I, Hong Jingyan, am not late!”
Hong Jingyan became happier and happier, “Oh yeah, I’ll tell you another bad news that I also only just found out, after learning that Xu Fengyen personally rushed here, the Tuoba Bodhisattva who was slowly traveling south has also begun to speed up his steps, I only need to travel two hundred miles to the north, and Xu Fengyen and the Tuoba Bodhisattva will encounter each other.”
Hong Jingyan looked into the distance to the south and laughed aloud, “Xu Fengyen! I’ll give you the chance to take revenge when the Reject North City is breached!”
Hong Jingyan’s figure flew backwards and swept away in a flash.
After a few blinks of an eye, a young man with dry lips in civilian clothes sat cross-legged beside Qi Dangguo.
This hanyou’s vision was blurred when he was dying, but somehow he hardily recognized that young face.
He tried to speak, but could no longer utter a word, instead, blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth more and more.
The young man reached out and gently pressed his chest, where he touched his hand, the iron armor was broken, cold armor for the blood soaked, but warm.
The young man bent down and gently shook his head.
The standard bearer of the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry in the past, even before his death, an unimaginable strength was born out of thin air, and one hand clutched the young man’s arm to death.
Since ancient times, the person with the most brawn on the battlefield was the one who carried the banner.
Northern Liang iron horsemen 300,000, only Qi Dangguo when it!
And this man, the last strength of his life, just wanted to make that young man not to go to the north for him.
He would not let go of his hand even in death.
The young man backhand gently hold that dead man’s hand, quiet, expressionless, no sadness, no joy.
The great suffering was silent.
Finally, the young man broke Qi Dangguo’s fingers one by one, then leaned over to help him close his eyes.
When he left the Northern Liang King’s Mansion at that time, he didn’t even have time to hang Pei Liang’s sword.
He found the iron spear not far from Qi Dangguo’s corpse and held it in his hand.
One person, one spear, swept north.
Hong Jingyan, who had long ago disappeared dozens of miles away, had his ears ringing like thunder.
“You seek death, I’ll let you die!”
