On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was sunny.
The west gate of Daliang City.
The originally busy city gate was under martial law, and large groups of infantry and cavalry passed through.
"This is..." Among the crowd watching from a distance, some people stared at the long team with complicated expressions.
"Xiaojiu, what do you think?" Leaving the crowd gathering place and standing on the top floor of a tall building not far away, a person asked his companion beside him.
Xiaojiu frowned: "It's earlier than we expected. What is King Liang going to do? Look, all the troops of King Liang's headquarters have been dispatched!"
The New Year's Eve was approaching, but King Liang and King Ning took advantage of the snowless winter to suddenly send out a large-scale attack on Xuzhou. With the cooperation of the internal forces, the Liang-Ning coalition attacked in two directions and won the victory. In less than ten days, Dongwu and Dong'an were defeated.
The two counties joined forces under Langye County.
The sudden exertion of the two kings undoubtedly made matters worse for the Tianjing court, which was troubled by the war in the northwest. But is this really the case? Regarding the battle in Xuzhou, Tianjing, which was rewarded, did not add a trace of tension to the atmosphere!
In March of the following year, it was the season of spring in the east. The Liang-Ning coalition forces advanced to Xiapi City for the second time and suffered a defeat with greater casualties. Because at this time, a large number of people suddenly came under the command of the two kings of Liang and Ning.
The left-behind civil and military forces rebelled and returned to Tianjing, and hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers marched in. When the urgent news came like snowflakes, King Liang and King Ning were both paralyzed on the spot!
The Liang-Ning coalition forces, whose military morale was in chaos, were defeated by the Xuzhou Army's powerful counterattack. The two kings of Liang and Ning only rushed back in panic with tens of thousands of their own cavalry, and the millions of troops who attacked were completely wiped out.
It was broad daylight that Tianjing had turned a blind eye to Dongdi before. This war was obviously a trap designed by Tianjing for the two kings of Liang and Ning!
Although they did not succeed in digging out the roots of the two kings, they also severely damaged their vitality. With the loss of soldiers and generals and the loss of territory, the prospects of the two kings immediately became gloomy.
Just like King Zheng of Jingzhou, if nothing else happens, after this defeat, the two kings of Liang and Ning have also withdrawn from the ranks of contenders for the throne of world dominance.
In the fifty-sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty, outside Dongyu.
In front of a mountain gorge stronghold of the Mohe people, 30,000 Qi troops formed an array. A chilling atmosphere filled the air in front of the gorge.
"As expected by the king, Qiqi Biyu is here to stop us!"
"Hmm. Qiqi Biyu chose this place to fight because of the high mountains and dangerous passes. Is it because our army is useless in hand-to-hand combat except for siege equipment?"
In the Qi army camp at the foot of the mountain, a group of generals surrounded Li Xian, the Zhenbei general in the center, and ridiculed the Mohe people's "plan". Before they came to conquer Beggar Biyu, they had already been mentally prepared.
As long as Bi Yu is mentally disabled, he will definitely set up an army at this stronghold.
Li Xian looked coldly at Mohe Qingzhuang at the stronghold in the distance. There was incomparable calm in his eyes. Difficulties? Danger? For Qi Jun, these have never existed in the dictionary.
With the Hedong Army as the cornerstone, there were only 430,000 land and water troops in the country. The Qi Army, which implemented a policy of elite troops, far surpassed its predecessors in terms of combat skills and military quality. He didn't care about the elites of the Central Plains, let alone the Mohe people.
Li Xian set his sights on other mountain gorges.
The rugged peaks are criss-crossed and winding in front, with a gentle opening in the middle. It is occupied by tens of thousands of Mohe people, and boundless green can be seen in the distance.
Looking at the towering peaks and the rolling hills, Li Xian asked: "Apart from this gorge, can other places be climbed over?"
"General, these gorges are deep mountains and old forests. They seem close, but they are hundreds of miles away. There are many pests and poisonous insects in them. If you go deep into them, even if you climb over, you will only be damaged even more. Besides, Mohe
People have been here for a long time..." said a military officer with a big face.
He was a Korean who came from outside the country to serve. He served as the guide for Li Xian's army in this battle.
"General, this pass is very dangerous. A thunderbolt chariot cannot hit it. If we attack by force, the losses will probably be considerable." General Li Xian's right lieutenant general was also worried.
"General, this is still a small matter. I heard that the Mohe people have started to join forces. No one has responded yet. But if Qiqi Biyu cannot be solved for a long time and the time drags on, some Mohe people will lose their minds..."
Pancake Face is a local after all, so he sees things from a different perspective. He said worriedly: "That's all, our army can catch them all in one fell swoop, but if we delay here for a long time, I'm afraid it will damage our reputation as an elite soldier of Daqi."
.”
This is the difference between background and perspective.
General You Zhonglang is a general who has grown up step by step in the Hedong Army system. He fights for the world, and he has a kind of arrogance in his bones that looks down on the world. He doesn't care about the Mohe clan or the reputation of the Qi army at all.
He only believed in actual military exploits and force.
Reputation is made with fists. As long as your fists are strong, bullshit reputation, no matter what anyone says, will not change the facts at all!
Therefore, whether you think about it or not, you Zhonglang doesn't care at all about the worries of the big-faced person.
Just like what Big Pie Face said, more people from Mohe came, and they were all caught in one fell swoop. Who would think that his military reputation is no longer sharp, and try it on his own neck?
Li Xian took a deep look at Big Pie Face. He was a talented person. With a warm and kind smile, Big Pie Face's worried heart instantly cheered up.
The general smiled to himself, so warm and kind...
An endless joy exploded in Big Pie Face's heart, and his whole body felt like it was soaked in a honey pot, so sweet.
At the stronghold, there was action at this time.
The Mohe people in the city suddenly cheered and shouted, waved flags, and came forward with support.
"It's Qiqi Biyu here!"
"Is that the Confederate general?"
Both sides noticed each other. On the city wall, Qiqi Biyu was holding on to the city wall and looking at the Qi army camp several miles away with a sneer on his lips.
Outside the territory has always been independent. No matter how powerful the Central Plains dynasty was, it never truly unified the world. It was absolutely impossible for Qi to order all the tribes outside the territory.
He was the first one to raise troops. Although he was the first to take the lead, the dangers of mountains, rivers and dense forests meant that as long as he could survive the first wave, the benefits he would gain would be incalculable.
Both his tribe and himself will become "stars" outside the territory, and the huge reputation can bring huge benefits to himself. It is also unknown whether he will become the second Jin Wuke by then.
Thirty thousand Qi troops arrived at the foot of the mountain gorge.
Viewed from the top of the mountain, there is a sea of red flags, among which a huge battle flag attracts particularly attention.
This battle flag stands on a high platform, surrounded by flags. Under the flag, there are densely packed Qi army infantry in red armor. The sunlight reflects on the soldiers and armor, and the armor emits a dazzling light.
Thirty thousand troops formed more than a dozen square formations. If you stand on the tower and look out, you won't be able to see the edge. But on the top of the mountain, Begging Biyu is clearly visible.
Seeing the majesty and solemnity of the Qi army at the foot of the mountain, I couldn't help but admire it. But in the blink of an eye, I was defeated again: "But a certain family has this gorge, how many people will you have to die to capture it?" he thought with a sneer.
"Chief, Zhongxiang from the Zhongshan tribe has sent people here." At this time, a close minister came to Qiqi Biyu and said respectfully. Upon hearing the news, Qiqi Biyu showed a sincere smile on his face. This
Has it started yet?
"Hehe, haha, hahaha..."
If there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are three. The Zhongshan tribe can’t sit still, and the other tribes can’t sit still either!
The drums sounded continuously, and one after another, the thunder carts were pushed to the right side of the front line, which was also due east of the battlefield.
"put--"
Fire bombs, fire bombs all over the sky. Even in the daytime, they are like falling stars and rocks, shocking and horrifying.
Batch after batch of fire bombs fell on the mountain, and in just a moment, flames rose up in the dense woods. Although it was not a dry and flammable midsummer, it was the same under countless fire bombs.
Soon flames were igniting everywhere.
Although the Qi army's actions actually caused no harm to the Mohe people at all, the potential threat of fire in the mountains to the east was more frightening than death.
As soon as the fire started, the black smoke and the wind drifted towards the mountain gorge.
"Listen to my command - let go!"
"Boom!" Another batch of fire bombs fell, and the fire on the east mountain burned more and more fiercely. The Mohe people on the mountain gorge became confused.
Qiqi Biyu was stunned, and his hands could not help but tremble. The strongholds on the mountain gorge were all made of wood and stone. The fire came with the wind and burned all the way from the east mountain to the gorge. The stronghold was also burned...
But in that case, my own plots, all plots... (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
