Chapter 332 One for Five Hundred

The western region of large and small basins are scattered, the army is very easy to cross and raid, difficult to set up defense, so the history of the central plains dynasty only have the heyday to “whip long and west”, the northern Liang capital of the statement will be inherited from the Dafeng dynasty of the time of the rise of the Qingcang LinYao FengXiang three towns of the existence of the western region of the central plains in order to hook up the two, and in the LinYao military town to the west of the vast area and to the Miyun pass for the first throat place. In the vast area west of the Lin Yao military town, and the Miyun mountain pass as the first key throat place, Raghu Mountain is located in the left mountain range of the pass here, naturally conducive to troop storage.

The two cavalry armies slowly march eastward along the wide horizontal pass, the latter is a typical North Mang light cavalry establishment, except for the centurion and the thousand captains wearing iron armor and the Chinese cavalry generals, most of the cavalrymen are clad in light and tough armor made of leather, with a variety of configurations, such as sabers, spears, riding bows, and even a lot of wolf-tooth rods and lasso ropes can be seen hanging on the two sides of the auxiliary horses. The advance cavalry is obviously more “heavy”, in order not to hurt the horse’s feet, there are also double riding auxiliary horse, two horses were carrying “armor”, that is, weapons and iron armor, “armor horse” hanging with a Attractive armor bag, that set of nearly cumbersome armor attached to the leather, outside the cover of the scale armor or lock armor, weapons are relatively more complete, all are spears, riding bows and sabers three kinds of, all hanging in the horse, and the crotch of this set of numbers in the three thousand or so of the cavalry, riding horses are also clad in cortical armor, only from the scale of this one person three riders, you can know that the three thousand riders and regardless of the strength of the high and low, but in the Northern Mang border army It is definitely the “old son of the army”.

According to the North Mang hinterland enemy Beiliang border army flirtation, North Mang border army is roughly divided into three kinds, nicknamed the son of the army of the cavalry belongs to the South dynasty elite, a person double rider, is considered to be the South dynasty temple dignitary’s son, what a good thing is not a lack of war horses, excellent armor, such as the Wazhu Junzihuan important military towns such as the cavalry in the list, as for the grandson of the army to be a lot worse, in the eyes of Beiliang and especially outside the Liangzhou pass with In the eyes of Northern Liang and especially the iron horsemen outside Liangzhou Pass, it is similar to the army on the back of a horse, and is not good enough to be defeated. There is also a strong cavalry army known as the old son army, should not be underestimated, auxiliary horse as many as three or four or even five horses, such as Dong Zhuo’s private cavalry, Hong Jingyan’s Zojiran iron cavalry, as well as Liu Gui Yang Yuanzan and other generals of the North Mang’s old base of the army are so, not a lot of people, can be very strong, does not exist in military strength disparity will not dare to die in battle, the victory is as if it were a crackerjack, the defeat is a total loss of the army, in the battlefield, a large extent to be able to The situation is dominated to a large extent on the battlefield.

This total of 10,000 large cavalry army of North Mang, it is successful to help the seed of Tan ascending Mount Ruoduo sentenced to the army, is a number of valiant valves of the Southern Dynasties to put together the bottom of the money, the first Liang Mang war, the bet on the flow of the state and the two battlefields of Youzhou, the Southern Dynasties of the high-ranking family greatly injured, since Liu Gui Yang Yuanzan, these long-established Southern Dynasties of the border troops of the old man can not be relied upon, this time that six or seven with the same spirit of the Southern Dynasties of the A and B big clans learned the good way to bet The six big clans of the same breath, bet on the rising reputation of the summer press bowl kind of sandalwood, of course, backed by a big tree, kind of sandalwood also pulled out a lot of the family old money, the three thousand elite cavalry is from the kind of family iron horsemen, a breath of dispatch to the kind of sandalwood half of the general kind of shentong under the banner of the private horsemen, can see the kind of family of the first son of the eldest son of the importance of the kind of sandalwood, but that is not surprising, after all, kind of sandalwood is even the female empress of the emperor are in the court of law to praise the generation of the future, but it is not surprising. In the twenty years of officialdom in North Mang, there are probably only two people in the Temple Hall, Liu Gui and Dong Zhuo, who have been given this honor.

Seed Tan riding on a horse nicknamed “beauty” on top of the sweat blood BMW, should be complacent young general eyes gloomy, looking towards the mountain pass far away, beside a beloved thousand captain curiously said: “young master, more than eighty horse columns have been scattered, and are their own sons and daughters, can not be wrong, I estimate the arrival of the I don’t think there will be a battle until we reach Fengxiang military town in Liuzhou, what is the young lord worrying about?”

Seed Tan’s ears were ringing with the familiar sound of horses’ hooves and some camel bells in the army, frowned and said, “It’s too calm.”

The Thousand Husbandman who came from the Seed Family reached out and scratched his large bald head, grinning, “Young Lord’s trip to Rotten Mountain was originally unexpected, and it’s normal for the Beiliang border army to not be able to react in time. On the flow state that poor little cavalry, just to deal with Huang Song Pu’s soldiers and horses is enough to eat on a big pot, where to care about us?”

Seed Tan sighed and said worriedly, “In the last battle, Dong Zhuo had already knocked down Liangzhou’s Tiger Head City, and Liuzhou had maintained parity, but ultimately lost the entire battle, just because Youzhou lost so miserably. This time, the battle was north of the city of refusal, but the key to victory or defeat was in Liuzhou ah. I’m afraid that both great battles will be lost because of where I, Seedan, am ……”

That thousand husband chief hurriedly interrupted Seed Tan’s obscure words and said resentfully, “Young lord don’t talk like a crow!”

Kind of Tan laughs to himself, and then eyes resolute, said in a deep voice: “Always keep an eye on the movement of the horse fence in front of you, send back spies slightly different stagnation, our pioneer three thousand riders will enter the war preparation, with the fastest speed to rush out of the Miyun mountain pass, be sure to ensure that the six thousand riders behind you can spread the formation in the flat area.”

The reason why the summer press bowl personally led three thousand species of iron horsemen to open the road, it is worried about giving people blocked within the Miyun mountain pass, behind those sources of messy six thousand horsemen, may not be able to successfully block the big share of the northern Liang cavalry sudden onslaught, and even very likely to the enemy forced to appear seawater inverted situation, by then within the Miyun mountain pass will be a one-sided massacre, even if the Ragdoll Mountain monks close at hand, for the opportunity to fight! Even if the Rotten Mountain monks are close at hand, for the battle opportunities, the significance of the battle of the cavalry, where victory or defeat is fleeting, is actually not very great. From beginning to end experienced the hulukou tragic battle of the kind of Tan is very clear, on paper the strength of the superiority or inferiority, are false, not only Liangmang battlefield hulukou proved this point, the Central Plains Guangling Road that the restoration of the Western Chu, Xie Xiyuan and Kou Jianghuai those two young people, but also with a field of unbelievable victory proved this point.

Although the kind of sandalwood beforehand and father kind of shentong and the younger uncle kind of Liang had a deliberation, that the flow of state dangerous situation does not allow the north of the Liang out of 20,000 riders to intercept, and once the strength of less than 20,000 riders, then the kind of sandalwood 10,000 cavalry army and will soon move to the battlefield of nearly 10,000 langdashan monks, in the flow of state to the west of the battlefield of any steadily undefeated, but the kind of sandalwood never think that what inevitable momentum, the western capital of the imperial court The question and answer session in the Xijing imperial court, Her Majesty the Empress praised this young man in front of all the ministers in the hall, and Seed Sandan did not say much, claiming that “there is nothing outstanding, and the only thing I can do with the army is to be prudent”, which is not only to take care of Liu Gui Dong Zhuo’s face as the “generals of the defeated army”, but more This is not only to take care of Liu Gui Dong Zhuo those “defeated generals” face, but also more is the kind of Tan’s real portrayal of the deployment.

Seed Tan said to himself: “As long as I get out of this Miyun mountain pass, any of your Xu Fengyen in Liuzhou has the wrist of the clouds and rain, but also irrelevant to the overall situation. But even if you have the vigor to come and intercept, can you really stop me?”

Although there was still a distance to travel near the exit, and the latest military information passed back from the horse fence in front of them was not different, but Seed Tan suddenly narrowed his eyes and gave an inexplicable military order, “Three thousand vanguard riders, change your horses! Put on your armor!”

Seed Tan took the lead on his horse and charged forward.

If there were no Northern Liang cavalry outside the mountain pass to keep watch, then it would be good to treat it as a maneuver.

In the art of war, there has always been the saying of striking halfway across the river, which varies from time to time and place to place.

A young and elegant cavalry general raised his arm, and the six thousand cavalry of the two towns behind him suddenly stopped.

He looked up and looked at the Miyun mountain pass about three miles away, the six thousand people behind him were all dusty and tired, one person and two horses, both horses and men were tired, according to the theory, in this kind of situation of the cavalry, without half an hour’s rest and reorganization, the combat strength will never be restored to its peak state. The best horse under the sky can probably run 300 miles a day. The so-called six hundred miles of emergency or even eight hundred miles of emergency, that is with the post station turns to change the horse and the stagecoach hit dead people regardless of the huge cost of exchange, in fact, the real key to determine the speed of a cavalry army, is the cavalry army’s next best horse’s physical strength, those long-distance raids in the history of the cavalry war, are built on the premise of the heavy horse damage, in short, is to constantly run alive dead weak foot load-bearing horse, so as to ensure the strength and impact of the horse on the battlefield. In the battlefield physical strength and impact, otherwise a two or three times to kill the exhaustion of the cavalry, how to be able to kill the enemy?

This time to attack the western region, the northern Liang capital protection government and Liuzhou assassins of the established strategy, are required to him and another cavalry army to try to join forces to intercept the seed Tan Wan ride, and then forced this person behind the Rotten Mountain monks later into the flow of the state of Qingcang main battlefield, so in the final analysis, the interception of this battle does not ask for the size of the results of the battle, but try to Yu Luan knife department cavalry army of the lone army and the main force of the Longxiang army to win the time, it is very good to fight, but it is very bad to fight, the conservative way to fight is not to be a good idea to fight. Conservative method of fighting, is to ignore the Rotten Mountain foot soldiers and monks, only need to be entangled with the kind of Tan’s open road cavalry, so that the task is even completed. However, in the two cavalry troops on the way, he put forward a risky idea, a result of the two cavalry troops are not very good to fight the radical approach, he had thought that the nickname Cao short winter melon young man will be categorically rejected, will be moved out of the “the big picture” this statement, but that is the first time to fight with him side by side of the young Northern Liang cavalry general, surprisingly, without saying a word, he said, “the big picture”. But that young Northern Liang rider, who is still fighting alongside him for the first time, even agreed without saying a word, not only that, but also took the initiative to take up the task of more “death”, the reason is that he Cao Wei’s command is more people, and he Cao DaGong’s ability to fight in battle is also bigger, which makes him laugh and cry at the same time, but also has a little bit of an indescribable feeling, he was in the Guangling Road, accustomed to the single-handedly pick up All the burden, used to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of army life and death are all tied to a heavy.

This battle, not yet fought, let him feel very strange.

He Xie Xijian turned his head to look at those cavalry attached to the two military towns of Lin Yao Feng Xiang, subconsciously reaching out to hold the sword that arrived not long ago, the sixth generation of Xu knife.

Many things many details, he is really to the northwest into the border army only after he began to understand, such as the hands of the war knife, the original Liang knife open blade has two times of preoccupation, once in the workshop grinding edge, once in the sand field to kill people to drink blood, otherwise that the war knife, if there is only the first time, then it can not be called Liang knife.

Xie Xijian smiled.

Northern Liang cold and bitter, but poor preaching really much.

But he likes it, very much.

Behind him, these six thousand riders, “come from” a complex, both in the two towns originally cut off the king of the strong horse thieves origin, but also for the sake of the household registration to fight in the battlefield of Liuzhou refugees young and strong, as well as that woman called Chai Dongdi pulled together the western region of the stray riders.

To be precise, just like him Xie Xijian, relative to the Northern Liang Border Army that had fought hundreds of battles against the Northern Mang barbarians, they were all fledglings, the people were, and the newly issued waist cooler swords were even more so.

Cut off the head of the North Mang barbarians for the knife stained with blood to open the front, than for those watery rouge county auntie to break the melon, not bad at all!

This expression is very coarse and vulgar, moreover I don’t know from whose mouth the earliest came out.

Although the division from the western Chu Cao Changqing but born in the city alley Xie Xijian, naturally still like.

Xie Xijian’s military orders one by one precisely conveyed down, will be six thousand riders in accordance with the source of the three divisions, with the most positive origin of the two thousand five hundred riders two towns of cavalry as a vanguard, appearing in the exit of the Miyun outside the kind of sandalwood department of the cavalry to start the charge, the conflict of the enemy, the success of the whole army into the failure to win, as long as the stable formation, so that the North Mang cavalry can not succeed in the spread of the formation in the pass outside the war, will be both the small battle back, the second straggler thousands of cavalry to replace the punch, followed by Chai Dongdian. The second group of 1,000 riders from the stragglers replaced them and rushed into the mountain pass, followed by the 2,000 riders from Chai Dongdi’s group, retreating and advancing. He personally led 500 Dragon Elephant Army elites to press the front, once the North Mang cavalry showed signs of breaking out of the formation, Xie Dongdi’s cavalry would be able to take the lead.

Once the North Mang cavalry showed signs of breaking out of the formation, Xie Xijian would have those five hundred dead elite cavalry, even if they died in battle, use their own corpses to block the exit of the Miyun mountain pass.

After parting ways with Cao Wei’s ten thousand riders, the latter had already transferred the vast majority of Liang crossbows and riding bows to Xie Xijian’s cavalry army.

The best case scenario is, of course, that the elite of Seed Tan’s cavalry army will take the rear, and the unusual cavalry army will take the lead in rushing out of the Miyun Pass, but Xie Xijian believes that the young man who became a summer presser by relying on the dead bodies of the Northern Liang border troops in the Hulukou and Luanhe cities will definitely not be so careless.

Even if the seed sandalwood is really so not worthy of the name, then Xie Xijian is more confident in the actual battlefield, to get back that party’s first hand error missed the battlefield.

Xie Xijian almost gave the same order as Seed Tan in the mountain pass, and then said the same words, “Change horses! Put on your armor!”

After separating from Xie Xijian, Cao Wei’s 10,000 horsemen began to make a long-distance run that was as fast as thunder, regardless of the physical damage to their horses.

It directly bypassed Miyun Pass!

He was going to break in at a nearby entrance at the western end of the Miyun Pass, then plunge himself into a dead end, quickly run east along the pass, and end up between the Seed Sandal Cavalry and the monks of Mt. Rottosan, fighting to make sure that Xie Xijian’s 6,000 cavalry were able to hold the eastern gate entrance! He was able to wait until he was able to stab the Tan cavalry in the ass!

So when Cao Wei parted with Xie Xijian, he half-heartedly joked: “Xie’s, I’m General Cao, but I’m going to be a man like Xu Snapdragon, the old King of Liang, so this time I’ll put my head on Xie Xijian’s waistband, so don’t let me die young, ah”!

Xie Xijian did not have any grandiose words at that time, but just nodded.

Xie Xijian saw that the short military general sped away with his back to himself, raised his arm, and stuck out his thumb.

I don t know exactly what is the unique significance of Cao Wei, or again what is the odd preoccupation of the Northern Liang Border Army.

Ten thousand horsemen surged forward, and their momentum was as great as a landslide and a tidal wave.

Cao Wei lips cracked, oozing a little blood, but full of smiles, roared: “I want to make the battle of Miyun mountain pass, become no less than Lu Shengxiang snow night under Luzhou, Chu Lu Shan thousand riders open Shu’s magnificent riding battle! Cao Wei can die, only can not die without a name!”

Miyun mountain pass although presenting a tightening trend, like a woman’s waist, but after all, still able to let more than twenty riders side by side rushed out.

Earlier Xie Xijian only with eyesight can see several riders of the North Mang horse columns running back to the mountain pass to pass military intelligence.

The battle was imminent.

However, the cavalry of the Caste Dan division rushed out faster and more swiftly than expected.

So that Fengxiang Lin Yao two towns cavalry army of the head of the fifty riders almost an instant, was brutally scattered.

Although the light crossbow riding bow in Beiliang had already fired in unison, arrows like rain splashing towards the exit, quickly shooting down twenty to thirty riders of North Mang barbarians, the overall momentum of the North Mang cavalry army did not diminish.

Xie Xijian immediately changed strategy, the first time on the order of five hundred Dragon Elephant Army dead soldiers cavalry pounce.

There were not enough corpses from both the enemy and us, far from enough to form a natural horse blocker!

Xie Xijian stopped his horse half a mile outside the mountain pass, surrounded by only dozens of his personal guard escorts and six order-carrying cavalrymen.

He is not the kind of fierce generals who charge into battle, when he personally came to the battlefield to let the veteran general Yan Zhenchun of Liyang Chunqiu was wiped out, Xie Xijian did not go into battle to kill the enemy, as well.

Not Xie Xijian did not have the kind of anger to kill the courage of a man, but the force is flat, he is very clear, a live to accurately give orders to the main general, only to be able to lead the army to kill the enemy in the field.

Xie Xijian not only let the five hundred elite riders to die, and even gave a military order, if the killing after the fall of the horse and not dead, please do your best to kill the horse in the array!

Xie Xijian remembered that the original resolute face, after hearing this order, almost everyone’s eyes have a color of pain, and finally, they all silently steered their horses.

After the five hundred Dragon Elephant elite horsemen ran to the battlefield with fire speed

Xie Xijian expressionlessly ordered the slightly retreating two towns cavalry to start a half fan formation, once the 500 riders showed signs of routing, or when there were only 50 riders left standing on the battlefield, they had to carry out undistinguished saving shots on the Miyun mountain pass.

The vice generals of the Lin Yao Feng Xiang two towns’ cavalry armies wanted to say something, but gritted their teeth and accepted the order.

Then Xie Xijian let the Lin Yao Feng Xiang cavalry at the top of the fan arc, make a channel for twenty riders to charge forward side by side, let a thousand riders of the displaced persons young and ready, concentrate all the guns and spears in the army to distribute to these outstanding brawn displaced persons young and strong cavalrymen.

And temporarily picked out six hundred people who are good at mounted and foot archery to form a separate army, located in front of that fan of the two towns’ cavalry.

Xie Xijian sat on the back of his horse, looking at the battlefield that was so narrow that it couldn’t be narrowed any further, and even more so, a strange battlefield where men and horses were all killed.

Although he could not see the scene within the Miyun Pass, he was completely able to imagine the dense iron armor there, constantly squeezing and swarming together, like a swarm of locusts, like a nest of ants.

If there was a mistake in the spying from the Whisking Water Room, the monks of Rotten Mountain did not need to be reorganized and gathered together before they had already converged with the Seed Sandal Cavalry.

If Cao Wei’s cavalry didn’t advance swiftly enough, or appeared on the battlefield already at the end of their strength.

If he, Xie Xijian, couldn’t defend this opening.

As long as one of the ifs came true, then the battle for Liuzhou had only just begun and was already in a rotten state.

At this moment, Xie Xijian somehow remembered the young man who always seemed to be gentle with his words and smiles, the young man who had personally suggested to himself to travel more and see more outside the Liangzhou Pass.

Xie Xijian took a deep breath and muttered to himself in a voice that he could only hear: “You have left 500 reading seeds for my Chu, why would Xie Xijian hesitate to return the favor with a death?”

From today onwards, there will be no more Da Chu General Xie Xijian, only Northern Liang Border Army Xie Xijian.
