Chapter 92 General Shenwei
The Xirong are a migratory grassland nation with strong predatory nature. Their footprints are all over the prairie of more than 3,000 miles in the north, reaching ice lakes in the north and deserts in the west. See their footprints.
In times of heavy snow and famine, they not only plunder the countries connecting the borders, but also plunder other weak tribes on the grassland, killing men and children, and taking away women with reproductive value.
The bitter cold environment made them predatory, and they showed no mercy to women, children and the elderly.
It has been seventeen years since the last time they entered the Yan Kingdom. This time, they set foot on this land again instead of their fathers.
On the morning of April 20th, in Yunqi County, there were pillars of smoke rising from all directions. The Xirong cavalry that entered the territory turned into several torrents from north to south, combing the land. But for the city, they directly chose Bypass.
Then, they entered undefended villages and towns, set fire to looting, and drove the people inside into the wilderness, chasing and massacring them. If the number of soldiers and horses attracted by Rongzhou is small, they will hunt them up and divide them from all directions to weaken the morale of the infantry. Then they will launch a charge and scatter the small groups of soldiers and horses one by one. They will collapse and run in the wilderness. Then chase them from behind and enjoy the thrill of chasing your prey.
During the fireworks warning, Le Jin stood at the head of Changchuan County, watching a group of Xirong cavalry chasing after them. Li Dian led 30 cavalry and 3,000 infantry to help the pursued people hide. Enter the city.
Facing the spear formation, these Xirong cavalry stopped chasing and turned southward. This was also a cavalry warfare method evolved from the survival strategy they were accustomed to. Once a large group of soldiers and horses in the city come out to intercept, they will tacitly form several groups, disperse, and continue to spread to the surrounding areas. They will burn and kill the surrounding villages and towns, and continue to spread southward.
The day before April 20th, the news of the entry of the Xirong people had been sent to Ding'an City. After receiving the news, Xun Yu called Guo Jia and then spread the news to the military camp.
Then almost all the government officials in the city were sent to evacuate all the craftsmen in the workshops in the western suburbs to the city. Guo Jia took the map and asked people to invite the county lieutenant Chen Luoping to mark several water sources on the map.
“Cut the source, turn living water into stagnant water, buy a batch of pigs and sheep, kill them and throw them into the water.”
Chen Luoping is no longer what he used to be. He started from a local gang, He suddenly transformed into a county lieutenant in Ding'an City, and the gang of minions in his hands also became county soldiers.
He knew that the person in front of him and the person inside were both people whom the general relied on. Even if he had doubts in his heart, he would not question them. Instead, he reminded in a low voice: "Guo Jijiu, this is not to let Xirong If people see it, they will definitely not drink..."
"Just let them see it." Guo Jia asked him to come closer and whispered in his ear: "Evacuate the people from the nearby villages and throw them into the well. Poison. Let’s dig new wells for them later!”
"Yeah!"
Chen Luoping nodded, immediately took his iron rod and turned around to leave. When he left the Yamen, he whispered: "It's so poisonous..."
On the other side, The news spread to the Bingzhou Military Camp in the southeast. The person who received the news was Gao Shun. He glanced at the note recording the news. He asked the 800 soldiers in training to continue, dragging their cloaks and turned around to walk towards the Zhongjun Camp. At this time, most of the camp had already Kong, 10,000 Bingzhou Army, was taken away by Zhang Liao with 8,000, and his lieutenants Niu Gai and Xu Qinghu went to conquer several counties in Gulang County in the south. Quan was supposed to be training troops.
And Lu Bu was riding outside with three thousand people to practice the endurance of long-distance running and the skills of saving energy on horseback. Riding, shooting, and horse control are also taught while running.
These were all learned when he invaded the south from Xianbei.
When they came to the big tent, they were surrounded by the commanding cavalry who were resting. They generally did not participate in training, and most of them were waiting around the handsome tent. Gao Shun came with several personal guards, and they all stood up and stood still.
“Quickly inform General Lu and bring him the news. Tell him there is no need to come back and just kill him!”
Gao Shun handed the news in his hand to a commanding officer. , the latter took the order, got on his horse and ran out of the camp gate, straight to the place where General Lu often trained cavalry.
Watching Ling Qi leave, Gao Shun returned to the tent and looked at the two tokens placed on the long case in the tent. He went straight over and picked up one. It was left by Zhang Liao before he conquered Gu Lang. Down.
Since it is given to him, it can definitely be used. All of his men were infantry and couldn't help, so... the token in Gao Shun's hand was thrown to the ground.
...
The fast horse galloped for twenty miles. At the foot of the southeastern mountain, a figure with an animal face and a swallowing head and a chain of armor rode a big red horse. He watched condescendingly as three thousand cavalry divided into five groups ran back and forth on the gentle slope.
This is his own way of training troops. Back then, Bingzhou had many mountain roads and steep slopes. The elite cavalry that followed him in Bingzhou were trained in such an environment.
When the order came over, it was already noon. The riders dismounted and were resting. They saw the fast horses running to the foot of the mountain, and the order soldiers jumping on their horses and running up on foot.
"Have you seen this? If the commander can control the horse uphill without losing momentum, it can save more than ten breaths." As he spoke, the commander came over and presented the news to Lu Bu. He glanced at it, grinned slightly, and said, "Xirong?"
He threw the note to the ground, turned around and looked at the resting soldiers over there.
As the cloak was stroking, his voice resounded: "Get on the horse!"
The figures who were sitting on the ground instinctively got up from the ground, rushed to the horses next to them, and turned over. , there was a uniform roar.
Lu Bu walked towards the red horse, turned over, pulled up the painted halberd on the ground, and brought up a piece of mud. His silent eyes contained the murderous intention of burying thousands of bones.
“Follow me, your spears and steel knives should be stained with blood!”
The next second, the voice shouted: "Let's go!"
Xilulu!
The red war horse stood up on the spot. The moment Xichuan's red brocade hundred-flower robe unfolded in the wind, the horse's hooves fell and ran out with a swish. The figure on the horse's voice spoke loudly: "Let those on the grassland Barbarian cavalry, look, what is a wolf cavalry? "
The mighty three thousand cavalrymen, carrying guns and holding reins, rushed down the gentle slope with countless horseshoes making a dull sound, and then, on the plain The turbulent waves pushed forward like a sea tide, densely packed chasing the armor-clad figure holding a halberd in front of them as they headed north.
......Time returns to its origin.
The Xirong cavalry coming from the north divided into several groups and entered the Ding'an area, galloping between several official roads.
Business travelers coming and going here had already received the notice yesterday and left in a panic overnight. People in nearby villages were also forced by county soldiers and government officials to flee to the city with their families or to hide. Go into the mountains and hide.
Xie Cheya, who had fought several battles in Yunqi County, led a thousand Xirong cavalry and stopped at a village at the foot of the mountain. They looked at the empty houses with some discomfort.
But these were also expected by him. It is impossible for people here to know about the burning and killing all the way south.
"But so what!"
He asked his warriors to fill their water bags, remounted their horses, and continued to advance south. He used the same tactics as before, sweeping the villages along the way and driving away the Yan people, who were often reluctant to leave their homes. The people in the field were forced out and ran across the field crying in fear.
The Xirong cavalry, who laughed ferociously, hung far behind. The cavalry, which also became ferocious, mounted up on their horses and fired arrows to kill a few civilians who fell behind, causing the fleeing team to cry even more pitifully and loudly.
The burning black smoke rose in the field and was blown diagonally across the sky by the wind.
On the road or in the fields, you can occasionally see corpses lying in pools of blood. There is still a smell of burnt smell in the wind. The figure on horseback slightly raised his face, and the sun shone on his face. As handsome as jade, the white tassels on the lion's helmet swayed, and a huge iron spear hung diagonally on the ground in his hand.
Far and near, panicked and pitiful cries came.
He rode his horse and turned around. The crowd was running towards the road in panic. The old man was being supported by his relatives and was walking tremblingly. He accidentally fell to the ground. His wife who was supporting him struggled to pull him; The man holding the child hid in the crowd, while the child lying on his shoulder was crying and looking behind him in fear; there were also panicked young people who stumbled out of the crowd and ran towards the wilderness, and a light horse came running behind them to pull him back. The bow was an arrow shot into the man's back.
Seeing the figure fall, the cavalryman wearing a fur coat laughed loudly at his companions behind him. The next second, there was a whistling sound caused by the air, and the laughing Xirong man instantly flew off the horse. When he went out and landed on the ground, there was an arrow in his chest that was more than halfway into his chest.
The laughter of the surrounding Xirong people stopped abruptly.
Xie Cheya took two steps out on horseback. In his eyes, a figure riding a black horse and wearing silver armor was walking backwards past the fleeing crowd towards them with a gun.
Along the way south, it is not that there are no powerful generals. Usually they do not fight each other and their soldiers head-on. However, now there is only one person on the other side, and he shoots arrows to provoke them.
Xie Cheya grinned, revealing yellow teeth, and slowly raised a hand.
Several knights suddenly rushed out around him. They were all warriors in the tribe who were able to block ten. They also performed extremely fiercely on the way south. Facing a Yan general, they excitedly raised their scimitars or straightened their swords. took the spear.
I don’t know if the man on the other side was frightened, but he didn’t move his horse yet, but just walked slowly.
“Hoo ha!”
Qi Qi let out a ferocious cry, and immediately sped up and rushed toward the opponent, holding out their blades and spears one after another.
The white helmet tassel was caressing, and the face under the lion helmet was raised. For a moment, his eyes were focused, and he suddenly grabbed the spear that was stabbing him. With his other hand, he threw out the thick spear in his hand, directly hitting it. The Xirong cavalryman in front who was wielding a knife flew out, pulled his left arm to snatch the spear, turned the spear handle with his backhand, and the spearhead roared, directly smashing the head of the Xirong man who had missed him.
The moment the spear flew out again and knocked away the third Xirong man on horseback, the figure in white robes and silver armor slammed his feet into the horse's belly, and the war horse galloped up with a roar. Facing the fourth person, he unsheathed the long sword at his waist, and drew a bloody line from the opponent's waist with a flash of sword light. Almost at the same time, he stretched out his right hand and pulled out the big gun inserted in the chest of the second Xirong.
In an instant, throwing the gun, grabbing the gun, and drawing the sword are all done in one go.
The single-handed figure, with a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, galloped on horseback and passed directly through the remaining three Xirong cavalry. The moment the horses crossed each other, the big spear was like a dragon and snake dancing, and the sword light was everywhere.
Blood, flesh, and fur coats tore and splashed
With just one breath, the war horse rushed out of the three people, and the three figures fell directly from the horse's back, dragging blood lines.
"You barbarians——"
The madly stepping horseshoes dug up layers of soil, and the black war horses rushed towards more Xirong cavalry like lightning. The sound came from that hand The sound of a spear and a long sword echoed on the running figure.
“——You can recognize Xiliang Jinmachao!”
Ahead, Xie Chaya in front of a thousand Xirong cavalry couldn't help but trembled. His eyes showed panic, and he waved his scimitar to let the warriors behind him kill him.
Under the sky, lion helmets and tassels were floating. One man and one rider, dragging a long trail of dust and smoke, faced the approaching thousand cavalry directly.
——General Shenwei Tian!
On the road, the fleeing crowd turned around, and in the sky, a single-handed figure penetrated ferociously into the Xirong cavalry.
The sounds of bones being smashed and flesh being torn were crazy.
