Chapter 188: Battle of Desert Water (1)

The terrain of the sheep intestine is narrow, so only six armored soldiers with shields can form a tight shield wall of two layers. The soldiers behind only need to garrison with guns to attack those enemy troops or those on the front, or jump from above, or rush over from above.

The casualties on the front are not serious. The most important thing is the arrows thrown by the Red Feather Army in the dike. The light armor on the black armored spearmen is not enough to defend against the arrows thrown in.

The fierce offensive of the Red Feather Army continued until the sun set and it was not over. The Red Feather Army corpses piled up from the entrance in the gorge were several meters high.

But in general, Liu Feng and the others have an absolute advantage. After all, in such a terrain environment, the guard naturally has the advantage of geographical advantages, and the physical fitness and morale of his soldiers are stronger than that of the Akayu Army. The most important thing is that the time is too short, and the effect of the Akayu Army's wheel battle cannot be reflected.

The spear in his hand suddenly penetrated through the gap in the shield wall and pierced through a Red Feather Army outside, Liu Feng finally received the prompt to complete the mission.

"Boom~"

Liu Feng had just returned to the central basin from the corridor ahead and was about to eat something to fill in the Wudian Temple. The sky gradually became dark clouds and thunder sounded. Within a few minutes, the sky completely dimmed. In addition, the surrounding terrain was towering and dense forests were everywhere, so the corridor was simply unable to see its five fingers.

"Crazy~"

As the rain fell, the Red Feather Army lit pine and bright torches to light the light, but it was soon extinguished by the wind and rain, so they had to retreat from the corridor and return to the camp with the light of thunder.

After all, in this environment, even torches cannot be beaten, and it is so dark that it is hard to tell the difference between the world and the earth. It is easy to say that inside the corridor, but it is difficult for people outside to fall. If you accidentally fall directly into the valley bottom on both sides, you may attack.

"Quick, let's simply create a rain-covered straw shed above the corridor."

In the basin, a bonfire was lit in the wooden sheds built around. Although the fire was not very bright, it allowed people around to see clearly the surrounding situation.

Liu Feng also asked someone to use wood and some leaves and clover to build a roof to block the rain in the first half of the corridor to facilitate cleaning of the bodies piled up there.

After such a long period of fierce fighting, the corpses piled up in the corridor emitted an unpleasant fishy smell.

Fortunately, it is still early spring. If it is summer, such a place is not processed in time, it will definitely be a breeding ground for bacteria and plague.

After the awning was set up, the civilians held a torch and began to clean up the corpses of the Red Feather Army in the corridor. First, they peeled the bodies clean, left their weapons and armor, and then carried them onto a wheelbarrow for transporting grain to the outside of the entrance, and fell directly into the bottomless valley on both sides.

It took more than an hour to rain, and there was no intention of stopping.

Inside the wooden shed, Liu Feng was baking the fire while watching the rain outside and fell into deep thought.

Now that the trial mission (2) has been completed, he is planning to leave here tomorrow and quickly go north to join Yang Zong's army.

Although the Red Feather Army has a fierce offensive today, two thousand black armored spearmen, plus powerful generals such as Yuwen Ba, relying on the right garrison to block it for ten days is definitely not a problem. After all, in places like Yangyan, the army's advantages cannot be exerted at all.

In this way, it would be meaningless for Liu Feng to stay here. After all, there is another task in Qiancheng that requires him to go there in person, and the ambushing the Wei army at the junction of the two places may trigger a new task and should not be missed.

After making up his mind, Liu Feng lay down to rest.

The next morning, he rode north with only the hundred households of the Jinyiwei and ten Jinyiwei, while the others were left to guard the pass.

······

At the junction of Ling County and Qiancheng, there is a big river called Moshui. The source of the river is in the mountains, gathers down from countless mountain springs and streams, and then bypasses a large bend in a slightly gentle terrain, flowing from north to east, spreading out a large fertile river beach.

Between the river beach and the cliffs and valleys of the mountains, a small plain area was vacated. This plain was also the only way to get from the south of Qiancheng to Ling County, and it was also the place where the Northern Wei Dynasty was preparing to ambush Liu Feng's army.

As we all know, the Wei army has many cavalry, and in such plain areas, they can maximize the power of cavalry. This time, there are 10,000 cavalry among the 50,000 Wei troops heading south!

"Report!"

"Report to the general, there are about 3,000 vanguard troops of the Black Armored Army found in front of him!"

In a hilly area west of the plain, the Wei army heading south was hidden here. The commander was Liu Jingyu, the third-rank general of Huaihua, the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Liu Jingyu is in his thirties and is in his prime at a young and powerful age. He was born in the Northern Wei generals. His ancestors were a general who followed Emperor Gaozu of Wei to conquer the world and was named Marquis of Wugong.

Unfortunately, Liu Jingyu was not a legitimate son and was not qualified to inherit the title of the Marquis' Mansion. So he left the Marquis' Mansion at the age of sixteen and joined the army, determined to be the general and the title of Marquis through his own efforts.

Unlike the Daqian Dynasty in Anping for hundreds of years, the Northern Wei Dynasty has been constantly expeditioning over the years, either the Northern Expedition or the Western Expedition. They relied on their powerful cavalry and expanded their territory three or four times in less than three hundred years of their establishment.

Therefore, Liu Jingyu joined the army and naturally had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Over the years, he followed the army to fight in the east and west. With his martial arts and the ability to lead troops, he made great achievements. He was finally named General Huaihua and promoted to the ranks of senior generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

When Liu Jingyu heard the scout's report, a shiny light flashed in his eyes. He immediately rode his horse to a relatively wide view and looked towards the plain.

At this time, a black team could be seen slowly marching on the plains.

"Brother-in-law!"

With a rapid sound of horse hooves, from far to near, a sharp voice sounded in Liu Jingyu's ears.

I saw a young general urged the horse to come to Liu Jingyu: "Brother-in-law, let me be a pioneer later."

This young man was Liu Jingyu's brother-in-law Tuoba Ye. Because of his extraordinary martial arts, he has always been loved by Liu Jingyu. This time he went to Nanqian to fight, he brought him by his side and became a cavalry captain, and by the way he made military achievements.

Liu Jingyu looked at the military formation in the distance and said for a while: "Don't be anxious first, let's attack after the enemy's central army appears."

Not long after, another man appeared on the plain. Judging from the size of the personnel and the flag, it was undoubtedly the Central Army.

"Brother-in-law, the central army has appeared!"

Tuoba Ye couldn't wait, and his wild eyes were full of desire to achieve success.
