When Cao Yijun quickly mobilized his troops and rushed to Fushang County, Li's cavalry led by Bao Suwei had already arrived in Huazhou.
All the officers and soldiers of Li's cavalry have the surname Li, and Bao Suwei is the only deputy general with a foreign surname.
This time, in addition to Bao Suwei, there were two school captains and a marching commander.
This person of extraordinary rank is Li Shou, the ninth prince of Li Ju.
The waterway at the mouth of the Guozhuang River is the narrowest in the entire body of water. There is a large stone bridge about three feet wide connecting the two banks. They rushed there under the stars and under the moon, but they saw a huge anti-horse gun on the other end of the bridge.
Not at the east end of the upper bridge, but at the west end of the lower bridge.
In order to prevent fraud, Bao Suwei did not immediately order to cross the river. He first sent scouts to find the way, and at the same time observed the opposite river beach for any ambushes.
It was after midnight that they completely cleared away these rifles.
After crossing the river, we hit the road and rested for half a day. Soon we encountered another roadblock.
This time Bao Suwei had no patience to clear it up and ordered a diversion.
As a result, there were roadblocks in all three places I visited.
There is no other way but to clean it up.
The snowflakes in the sky are continuous and not big, so they are very sticky and wet. When they fall on the ground, they will not melt. They are wet, as if there is water, but they are dry and muddy.
Bao Suwei was not idle and worked with the soldiers to clear the roadblocks.
Ninth Prince Li Shou watched for a while, then rolled up his sleeves and moved forward.
Several soldiers said one after another: "Ninth Prince."
The two captains also hurriedly said: "Ninth Prince, there is no shortage of manpower, so let the soldiers go."
"Call me Li Sijie," Li Shou said solemnly, "There is no Ninth Prince here."
As he spoke, his pampered white hands were inserted into the mud, and he used all his strength to lift the wooden pile that had almost been dug out.
Several other soldiers saw this and hurriedly hugged and carried the huge wooden stake to the side.
The army continued to set off, and there was another roadblock a few hundred steps away.
The two captains had already begun to curse.
Li Shou looked at Bao Suwei.
Bao Suwei is a silent person and usually talks very little. During this journey, he may not have said more than a hundred words.
Li Shou frowned, turned around, and said: "This area is very hilly. Passing through this area and continuing to the southwest is Jingkengfu. Jingkengfu is open and flat. Everything will be fine by then, at least there will be no more roadblocks.
"
Seeing that everyone's expressions were still gloomy, he added: "Ah Li must be scared, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, just follow me to clear the roadblocks!"
After clearing one section, another one was cleared. Fortunately, if we continued, there were no roadblocks.
The night was getting darker and darker, so Bao Suwei ordered the entire army to camp on the spot, and at the same time increased the number of patrol troops and scouts.
The Xia Family Army's scouts officially launched their force at this time.
Li's cavalry came from the mouth of Guozhuang River and encountered roadblocks all the way.
Cao Yijun's soldiers and horses, who went south from Songzhou to Huazhou, crossed the river and ridge very smoothly.
Xia Zhaoyi calculated the time between the two to be close. When the two forces officially entered the land of Huazhou, the Xia Family Army's scouts were exposed in front of them one after another, and then they led each other to the direction of the other's camp.
The two were less than thirty miles apart. When each other's scouts came back to report the news, the generals on both sides were overjoyed.
They are all elite cavalry, with top-notch weapons, equipment and horses. Even their tactics are almost the same. They use lightning speed and thunderous momentum to attack unprepared enemies and take them by surprise, making them invincible.
Now that the enemy has been exposed and has the upper hand, what are you waiting for?
Bao Suwei immediately ordered the entire army to set off.
Cao Yijun also gathered quickly.
Chen Dingshan and Xia Yuda, who came back through the night, told Xia Zhaoyi the news of their respective troops.
The girl stood in the night, holding the little puppy that was sleeping softly in her arms, and smiled slightly: "Today is the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. In half an hour, it will be the nineteenth day of the first lunar month."
As she spoke, her chest jumped slightly, and the little puppy opened its eyes from her arms.
"Little Fatty," Xia Zhaoyi rubbed its head and said softly, "Are you awake?"
The little puppy seemed to be dissatisfied with this officially difficult-to-pronounce name, and raised his head to look curiously at the scouts in front.
"I'm awake," Xia Zhaoyi also raised his eyes, looking into the endless rich night, and said in a cold voice, "It's hunting time."
At the same moment, two fast horses stopped at two large strongholds in western China.
The scout didn't bother to catch his breath and ran quickly inside as soon as he got off his horse.
Nie Huimo stipulated that as long as the general is sitting in the main tent, the scouts can break in directly without notification.
Hearing the movement, Nie Huimo and the lieutenants beside him, who were in front of the marching map, turned around.
The scout knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "General, on the evening of the 16th, the Xia army attacked Fushang County, Liuguili, Ma Songzhou!"
Nie Huimo raised his eyebrows lightly: "She's attacking Songzhou?"
Before the scout finished speaking, he took a breath and continued: "No, early the next morning, they withdrew their troops again. They were stationed in the camp in the south of the city, together with the officers, and killed a total of fifty-seven people. They killed twenty military attachés in Fushang County.
, the civil servants have not touched it.”
The soldiers were puzzled, and Mr. Xin Shun on the side was also puzzled.
"You mean, she withdrew her troops?" Nie Huimo said.
"Yes, Jin Hongkang is furious and has sent troops to Huazhou! They may have arrived in Huazhou now."
"Will it affect us?" said a deputy general next to him.
"Huazhou is very big. If we want to call, we can make preparations in advance." Another soldier said.
Mr. Xin Shun stroked his beard, paused, and looked at Nie Huimo.
Nie Huimo said nothing, thinking in her mind why she wanted to pull the tiger hair off Jin Hongkang's head.
She has a purpose in everything she does, and more importantly, she seems to achieve her purpose.
"Sir, what do you think?" Nie Huimo looked at Xin Shun.
"Teasing?" Xin Shun said, "Or venting his anger. Miss Ali and Shen Lie escaped from Songzhou before. This incident caused quite a stir."
"Shen Lie." Nie Huimo said in a low voice.
"Yes, you can hit her and run away. With Miss Ali's ability, the soldiers and horses of the Daping Dynasty must not be able to do anything to her in the vast and vast Huazhou."
Nie Huimo smiled coldly: "You hit her and then ran away. You made her look as childish and ridiculous as a naughty child."
Xin Shun was embarrassed: "General, although Miss Ah Li is still young, she is just a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, but it is not to say that she is childish and ridiculous. But, Miss Ah Li..."
"That's enough," Nie Huimo suddenly interrupted him, "Don't mention her again."
"General..."
"I'm annoyed when you mention her," Nie Huimo said coldly, "Also, what do you mean, that's Miss Ali? Listen to the tone."
The generals were stunned, looked at Nie Huimo, and then looked at Xin Shun.
Nie Huimo respected Mr. Xin Shun very much and would rarely speak to him in such a tone.
Xin Shun, who was beaten so harshly, was not embarrassed, but instead sighed: "Alas."
"Ha." Nie Huimo sneered again.
Apart from that tone, why bother to emphasize that the other person is sixteen or seventeen years old and a girl.
Nie Huimo took a deep breath. As soon as her voice and that annoying smile appeared in front of his eyes, he felt an unknown fire in his heart, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
I shouldn't have gone to Guzhao Gorge in the first place, and I shouldn't have let this woman break into my sight.
Turning around, Nie Huimo raised his eyes to look at the march map nailed to the vertical board. He ticked Ci De with the pen in his hand and said coldly: "I will work hard tomorrow to capture this place."
"Mercy!"
"Qian Xianmin's hometown?"
"I don't want to delay," Nie Huimo looked at the word "Ci De" on the map. "Taking Cide will completely defeat Qian Xianmin's mind. I will give you five days. After five days, I will take down the Huazhou regime."
All in my hands."
"Yes!" All the soldiers responded with clasped fists.
Nie Huimo couldn't help but look at the plains to the east of Huazhou.
When Songzhou soldiers and horses come to Huazhou, how will she respond?
Hiding around is definitely not her style. If you piss her off, she will do anything.
Just like when one man and one horse broke into the Guiyuan Inn and smashed it to pieces, she sat there, waiting for him to return in her leisure time.
And if she wasn't hiding, would she be facing the enemy head-on?
With five thousand soldiers and horses, her Xia family's army would not be enough.
But since she went to mess with Jin Hongkang, she would never think of the consequences.
What is the purpose?
Xin Shun silently observed Nie Huimo's expression from the side, and all that was left in his heart was shaking his head and sighing.
