Chapter 394 – No Lucky Man Like Me

Since ancient times, there have been border poems saying that the northwestern two longs are full of vigor, and now the western part of the northwest is even more so.

Liuzhou vice general Xie Xijian personally led 10,000 Rotten Mountain monks took the initiative to go out of the city, trying to stagnate the North Mang step trekking pawns and two thousand South Dynasty military town side of the speed of the northern retreat, and do not let go of their hands and feet to kill, once the North Mang army turned around to set out the front to kill the battle, monks and soldiers are also the same in situ formation, hold their troops, as if the hospitality of a rich man, ready to prepare enough wine and water, waiting for the guests to come to the door.

In the attack on Fengxiang military town in the battle of not a small loss of foot trekking pawns, quickly realized that the situation is not good, foot trekking pawns can fight after all, there are still 6,000 people, plus from the side of the response to come and go like the wind of the 2,000 cavalry, to fight or retreat, are able to take the initiative to occupy more. That step trekking pawn main general comes from Beiting timid Xuewei, Beimang to martial state, by virtue of the family shade and military service is the two most important way to advance, can serve as a step trekking pawns one of the three leading 10,000 captains, may not necessarily be what the art of war great talent, but by no means only rely on the family to steal the power of the mediocre. This Fengxiang military town’s defense of the city is permeated with a treacherous atmosphere, obviously at the beginning can defend more solid as a golden soup, but that the main general is clearly intentionally to whet their appetite, such as a woman’s desire to talk, obviously is determined to sell their skills not to sell their bodies, but on the other hand, it is given a kind of refusal to meet the illusion, so that after the realization of the foot trekking pawns to throw away 4000 corpses for nothing.

Then when 10,000 monks of the dead bite their tail, the intention is not difficult to guess, must be the Northern Liang border army of a cavalry is about to arrive, as for what exactly is the God, step trekking pawns ten thousand captains can not figure out also can not guess, according to the theory of the flow of the state of the various cavalry has been impossible to have a free hand to intercept them, this sneak attack Fengxiang Lin Yao two military towns, the South Korean border army deployed 20,000 step trekking pawns and is responsible for escorting the route of the 5000 elite cavalry, even if split into two routes, it is also a good idea to take a few minutes. Even if they split their army into two, it is still not something that a few thousand riders from Northern Liang can eat up.

Moreover, the Liuzhou cavalry was already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, so how could they possibly spare a large cavalry force to leave the main battlefield north of Qingcang City? Could it be the two Northern Liang cavalry that bypassed many military towns and fortresses and drove straight into the hinterland of Guseizhou? But the question was how could they make it back to the border in time? Could it be that these two weak military towns were the bait from the beginning? But this is even more unreasonable, even he, the foot trekking pawn ten thousand captain, after getting the order from Huang Song Pu to leave the station, he didn’t know where to go, but only all the way south, until after crossing the border of Liangmang, he learned that it was a surprise attack on Fenghuang Lingyao, and in the meantime, the confidential spider web spying report in his hand said conclusively that the 20,000 Ruotuo Mountain monks and soldiers should have crossed the border of Fenghuang Lingyao to go directly to Qingcang. Or is there really an immortal in the Beilang Qingliang Mountain and the capital government who can foretell the future?

Facing the 10,000 Rotten Mountain monks’ persistent fight, the commander of the foot trekking pawns is suffocating, if he really wants to fight to the death, there is not the slightest chance of winning, but even more so, he is waiting for death, waiting for the Northern Liang border riders to arrive to cut off his head. Can not fight, those brawn amazing and intrepid bald monk, but also really unscrupulous, every once in a while, there are two or three hundred monks regardless of physical wear and tear to serve as a daredevil, to their buttocks on a bite. The most upsetting thing is that these rotten mountain vultures in the city before, probably the Fengxiang military town armory empty, carrying no less than two thousand light crossbow rifle bow, from the number of monks and soldiers bear the number of arrows capsule, no less than four or five million arrows, if you say that the accuracy, only is considered sparse usual, even compared to the grassland children under the bumps of the horseback riding bow, but the power of the infantry formation, never lies in the intensive two words, coupled with the monks and soldiers everyone strong and stout, everyone pull the bow like the full moon, it is necessary to pull the bow like a full moon. Everyone draws the bow like a full moon, what accuracy is needed, a round of splashing like rain is! The most terrible place, is that the young Liuzhou general’s method of fighting, so that the number does not seem how shocking 40-50 thousand bows and arrows, can leisurely pull out from the corpse or from the ground to pick up bows and arrows, a branch back to the arrow bag, which makes the unwillingness to wait for death to launch three rounds of the town of the army of the elite cavalry, simply can not play out enough cavalry field trails of the innate advantages of the monks as for a little bit of nibble on the infantry, is even more foolhardy. As for a little bit of nibbling monk infantry, it is even more foolhardy. Horse bow range is inferior to the foot bow, the South Korean border riders and light armor and light bow, in the end, the general will be helpless to find that their own two thousand riders, although there are still 1,600 riders left, but the Rangtoshan monks, even collected more than two hundred horses, after the turtles and magpies on the horse, as if all of a sudden more than two hundred riders!

It was a battle that made the 10,000-man commander of the Step Trekking Pawns almost spit out blood.

That Liuzhou general who did not personally engage in battle from beginning to end was just too disgusting!

In the end, he couldn’t delay, so he had to go and find the cavalry general from Gusei Prefecture’s Stone Cliffs military town, and he couldn’t say anything, it was extremely difficult for him to open his mouth.

The cavalry general who knew what he was talking about smiled and said nothing, although it was just a nodding acquaintance before, the cavalry general took off a well-worn white jade python belt from his waist, and pleaded with the commander to hand it over to his eldest son who was still a teenager when he returned to the Southern Dynasty, saying that it was given to his father by the late emperor, and that even though it was no longer worth anything, it was an heirloom of their small family.

After the 1,600 horsemen had reorganized, with their horses’ heads facing south and their swords facing south, the general turned his head to see the foot trekkers quickly withdraw from the battlefield to the north.

This ordinary riding general who is not well known in the North Mang border, may not know that not long ago in another battlefield in Liuzhou, fought the same almost the same riding general collision formation, there are North Liang riding general shouted out that “may the dead, with me to die” the sad and heroic words.

With the Hongjia north run for the North Mang south dynasty to bring hundreds of thousands of people, the grassland martial arts wind does not fall, but subconsciously injected a lot of soft breath, just like the grass on the grassland year after year.

This official rank but from the fourth rank of the border army cavalry, will occasionally go to the temple hall of Xijing to participate in the military and national deliberations, during that period, met a lot of civil officials and literati, most of them are not temperament, from no goodwill, but sporadic celebration of the feast, or was pulled to make up the number of the banquet, also heard some of the unfamiliar scenery so that he could not imagine.

For example, the apricot blossom smoky rainy day in Jiangnan, deep flower branches, light flower branches, branches to welcome spring.

He knew that he and the 1,600 horsemen behind him were destined not to see the scenery of Jiangnan in the Central Plains.

He will die.

The cavalryman drew his Northern Mang sword and shouted, “Kill!”

When Xie Xijian left the city, he rode a Northern Liang war horse, and at this time, he stopped his horse at the back of the monks’ infantry formation, looked up, and smiled faintly.

20,000 monks with foot battle riding, soon a Northern Liang 10,000 people light cavalry will return the color, with riding battle foot.

Moreover, Bei Liang was surprisingly dominant in terms of the number of both, this kind of great situation that should not have appeared on the Liang Mang battlefield was naturally all attributed to this one of the Great Chu Twins.

But in Xie Xijian see that the North Mang cavalry heroic death, this Liuzhou vice general can not help but think of the Miyun mountain pass that tragic killing, piles of corpses, simply can not distinguish between the North Liang border troops or the North Mang barbarians.

It turns out that not only the Northern Liang iron horsemen regard life and death as a trivial matter, the Northern Mang is also the same.

After Xie Xijian long military and official career, as the final official to the Liyang positive second-grade general and lead on the title of the Confucian general, as a country of the Northwest pillar, even in the situation has been finalized to continue time and again to pacify the prairie, but his life has not been to the “barbarians”

He never used the word “barbarian” as a prefix for his soldiers in North Mang.

To the south of Huaiyang Pass, the rider who didn’t enter the city stopped alone on a high slope of yellow sand and seemed to be waiting for someone.

Soon there was a burly figure that swept through the air, with the momentum of a rainbow.

The young clan king who left the Wu family’s eighty riders in the pass rolled over and dismounted, and asked in a deep voice, “How is it?”

The face of the man who was a member of the clan was ugly, “By the time I arrived at Dunhuang City, it was too late, tens of thousands of grassland cavalry still surrounded the city heavily after breaking it, after I broke into the city, I did not look for the woman you mentioned, after that I pried for news, only to determine that the man named Xu Pu had died in battle.”

Xu Fengnian’s lips pursed up tightly, trembling slightly.

Xu Pu.

A man he had once called Uncle Xu when he was young.

Together with Wu Qi, he was the first generation of Xu family’s cavalry generals, and his seniority in the army was even higher than Chen Zhi Bao Yuan Zuo Zong Chu Lushan and the three of them.

Huyan Daguan, who secretly sneaked into the North Mang Grassland, hesitated, seeming to have some words that came to his mouth that were difficult to speak.

Xu Fengnian smiled bitterly, “Is there any worse news than this?”

Huyan Daguan was silent.

Xu Fenian calmly said, “Speak.”

Huyan Daguan exhaled heavily, “That old woman’s decree to the besieging cavalry in the first place, regardless of whether Dunhuang City is fighting or surrendering, when the city breaks down, when you meet someone, you will kill them.”

Xu Fengnian slowly loosened the reins of his horse.

The figure instantly dissipated.

In the next moment, a loud thud suddenly resounded above the high slope.

Huyan Daguan stood still in the northern part of the slope and casually shook his wrist.

The young Vassal King stood at the edge of the hillside to the south, and between the two, a gully abruptly formed.

Huyan Daguan said expressionlessly, “There are at least thirty to forty thousand Northern Mang cavalry waiting for you to throw yourself into the net, plus the hundreds of Spider Web Spy dead soldiers that Li Mibi is personally sitting on, all waiting for you.”

There was another loud explosion of thunder.

Only to see Huyan Daguan maintain the posture of hammering out both fists forward as he said sternly, “Xu Fenian! Are you not aware that the reason why there is no exact bad news about that woman is precisely the trap that the old woman and Li Mi Pil deliberately lured you to your death? Such a shoddy tactic, and you can’t see through it?!”

In an instant, the loud noise was far superior to the previous two that were already loud enough to be amazing.

Huyan Daguan almost knocked back the young man who insisted on heading north by several feet with a forceful punch.

Huyan Daguan said in a cold voice: ”Since reasoning doesn’t work with your mouth and you can’t even listen to it anyway, it’s fine! Although I, Huyan Daguan, may not be able to defeat you, but it is not difficult to fight to the death, I would like to see how you, Xu Fengyen, will enter Dunhuang City by then!”

I don’t know if it’s the old Central Plains saying that things don’t come in threes.

The young Vassal King no longer swept northward, but slowly walked to the northern part of the high slope, and stood side by side with Huyan Daguan, one facing north and the other facing south.

The young man crouched down with his hands caged in his sleeves, and quietly looked to the north.

Huyan Daguan comforted, “You don’t show your face, she really has a chance of survival, understand?”

The young man hmmmed, “Just figured it out.”

Huyan Daguan was relieved.

If he really had to do a life and death battle with this young man, he was really a bit scared.

There is no way, he Huyan Daguan is an old man who dragged his family.

Complicated mood Huyan Daguan only have a sigh.

The young man’s lips slightly moving, broken reading, quietly inaudible.

“Do not say that I am poor, big sleeves to sweep the wind. Don’t mock me when I’m sleepy and have no place to sleep, heaven and earth as a bed quilt. Don’t laugh at me for not having wine when I am thirsty, and make a pot from the river and lake. Mo feel my life is not happy, waist hanging three feet sword …… the world no I like this lucky people, no I like this lucky people ah ……”
