Under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the surrounding fields...
Yinshan Mountain is like a hat covering the top of the bends of the Yellow River.
In other words, the Yellow River flows here from the south and is wrapped up by the Yin Mountains, forcing this rebellious dragon to follow the direction of its own mountains.
When the north-south mountain range on the horizon became taller and taller as it continued to approach, Feng Yong knew that he had reached one of the destinations of his trip.
When the Yinshan Mountains finally appeared completely in his eyes, Feng Yong looked up from a distance and had the illusion that he seemed to see looming fortresses built along the mountains.
Some of these passes are from the period of King Wuling of Zhao, some are from the Qin Dynasty, and many are from the Pre-Han period...
The actual altitude of Yinshan Mountain is not too high. There are many ravines between the mountains and you can ride a horse directly to the bank of the Yellow River.
Therefore, starting from King Wuling of Zhao, as long as the Chinese regime controlled the Hetao area, they would build fortresses along the Yinshan Mountains.
The pass and the Yinshan Mountains together formed a tight defense line, preventing the barbarians from entering the south of the Yinshan Mountains.
Among these mountains, Gaoque Fortress has the flattest and widest gullies because it is between Wula Mountain and Langshan Mountain.
This is a convenient passage to the Yellow River through Yinshan Mountain.
In the past long years, I don't know how many barbarians have stood where they are, looking at the mountains in the distance, eager to cross the Gaoque Pass and enter that extremely fertile place.
Now, the Hu people have already realized their dreams and occupied the place they dreamed of.
But the people standing outside Yinshan have become descendants of the Han family.
Only Gaoque Fortress remains the same.
Facing a dangerous place, Feng Yong naturally would not lead his army into it easily, but instead let the army set up camp first.
Until the third day, when he was holding a telescope and enjoying the bronze-like mountains in front of him, he suddenly heard Guan Ji beside him say:
"came back."
Governor Feng subconsciously put down his telescope, turned his head and asked in confusion: "What?"
Guan Ji, who also held a telescope in her hand, pointed straight ahead: "Tanma, you're back."
Governor Feng quickly raised his telescope and looked at the mountain pass, and saw a dozen scout horses galloping out of the mountain.
Governor Feng had a smile on his face and guessed: "It seems that Ke Bi Neng came as promised."
After a while, half of the dozen or so scout horses stopped somewhere, dispersed, and then all raised their flags, waving them regularly.
The second echelon of scouting horses who responded to them all understood and turned their horses' heads to run back.
The other half of the Tanma who came out of the mountain pass didn't stop and continued running this way. Their mission was to deliver the message.
However, the situation at hand was not complicated. There was no need to wait for the message from the scouting horse ahead. Governor Feng and General Guan had already used telescopes to clearly see the message conveyed by the signal flag.
With the help of telescopes, signal flags can transmit information several times faster than before. The disadvantage is that the content is limited.
Signal flags and messages can be used interchangeably and can complement each other.
"No less than 20,000 riders?"
Feng Jishi smiled softly and said, "Ke Bineng's battle is quite impressive."
It is often said that a certain Hu man controls tens of thousands of strings.
It seems like a lot, but that includes all the men in the tribe who can mount a horse, and there are even some bearded women.
Because there are many Hu Yi women who can also ride horses and draw bows.
So when we really calculate it, if we leave out the old, weak, women and children, we are left with only 70% to 80%, or even 50% to 500%.
Kebi has 50,000 to 60,000 people who can control strings, and those who can really fight are only 40,000 at the top, no more.
He has pulled out half of his family fortune.
It's just that you brought so many people here without saying hello in advance. Isn't it a bit unkind?
Guan Ji ignored Feng Jishi's words and directly ordered the ordering soldiers around her: "Form up!"
After a while, the "dong dong dong" drum sounded.
The camp began to become noisy, and waves of orders continued to be heard.
After receiving military orders, the captains and generals of each battalion continued to summon their own soldiers.
You return to the army from Wu, you return to the team from Wu, you return to the team from team...
After a while, each camp sent people to report back:
"General, the cavalry battalion is ready!"
"The elite cavalry camp is ready!"
"Wu Dang camp..."
"Raise the flag!"
As the flag of the handsome platform was raised, the sound of cow horns also sounded.
After the sound of the first bull horn, each major battalion followed the wartime rules, while keeping a close eye on the flag of the commander's platform, while mobilizing troops and horses, with the commander's platform as the center, and started running according to the flag and the instructions conveyed by the messenger.
"Woooo..."
The horn sounds again.
"stand!"
"Hurry up!"
"Hurry up, my mother! You run so slowly, do you want me to carry you on my back?!"
There was an irritable captain who could not help but curse others.
Because after the second horn sound stops, it means that all battalions must be in place, otherwise, they will be subject to military law!
Military law in wartime is no joke.
Compared with the Han army in the core circle, it was much easier for Yi to follow Hu Qi.
They were placed on the outermost perimeter, and they only had to keep running back and forth on guard, waiting for the Han army to form a formation, and then obey orders at any time.
On the two core wings of the Han army, the elite cavalry battalions led by Liu Hun and Tufa Tianli began to gather.
Inside the Jingqi camp is the Tiger Infantry.
The center of the Tiger Infantry's defense was the handsome platform.
Behind the commander's platform is hidden the strongest fighting force of the army, the cavalry battalion.
Ahead is Modao Camp, and further ahead is Wudang Camp...
"Woooo..."
The sound of horns began to fade on the third pass.
"Prepare!"
brush!
The soldiers at the front of the Wudang camp squatted down, and everyone's crossbows were already cocked. The arrow clusters were shining coldly under the sun.
The ground began to vibrate faintly.
Everyone's eyes were directed towards the mountain passes ahead.
I don't know how long it took, but several torrents spewed out from each mountain pass.
It's like a mudslide rushing out of the mountain and submerging the ground.
Bald-haired Kheli looked at his fellow tribesmen who came out of the mountain pass and kept roaring, as if they were showing off their power.
Looking at the soldiers of the elite cavalry camp standing still and silent around him, he twisted his body unnaturally, seeming to have a slight sense of shame.
My former self probably looked like this in the eyes of others.
But then he thought about it, luckily I am now a general under the governor of Liangzhou in the Han Dynasty.
Oh, it turns out that the people opposite us are from the same race as before, so that’s okay.
"put!"
"Puff!"
The Ming Dy made a sharp whistling sound, flew into the air, crossed a graceful arc, and began to fall to the ground.
brush!
The arrow feathers inserted into the ground declare that this is the Han army's position. Anyone who steps in without permission must be prepared to pay the price with his life.
In fact, there is no need to sound the warning at all.
When the first batch of Xianbei cavalry rushed out of the mountain pass and saw clearly the murderous Han army camp in front of them, all the shouts and shouts stopped suddenly, as if someone had suddenly squeezed their necks.
They subconsciously tightened the reins and stopped their momentum.
Unable to stop its momentum, it was like a torrent encountering an invisible boulder and had to start to bypass it on both sides.
Kebineng, who learned of the situation, quickly rode his horse to the front. When he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Even from a great distance, he could see the reflection of the arrow clusters in the center of the Han army's formation, and even the faint cold light of weapons behind the crossbow formation.
The neat military formation gave Kebi the illusion that it was like an iron defense line, and it was like a wolf mountain pressing down on top.
Pu Heyu, the son who was following Ke Bineng, looked a little frightened and couldn't help but ask:
"Sir, what does the Han army mean by this? Could it be..."
Before he could finish speaking, Kebineng shouted: "Shut up! Someone, beat the drum, gather the people, and obey orders at any time!"
But I saw that his face became a little gloomy.
He could probably guess what the Han army meant.
It was probably a response to the ambush incident a few days ago.
Originally, he thought that the Han people came from afar and wanted to join forces with him to attack the Wei people, which was tantamount to asking for something from him.
Besides, he was attacking Hu Qi and not the real Han army. When the time came, he could find any excuse to excuse him.
For the sake of the overall situation, the Han people would not pursue the case.
Now that the other party had made such a move, it was beyond his expectation, making him a little frightened and angry.
"Didn't you say that the Han army is no match for the Wei army? What's going on in front of you?"
Kebineng turned his head and asked his son angrily.
The person who led the ambush a few days ago was Pu He Yu.
I saw that his face turned a little pale and he muttered:
"I think the Han army is almost the same as those barbarian cavalry..."
Ke Bineng was already thinking about Puhe Yu's mother.
It has been a tradition of the Han people for hundreds of years to recruit the Hu cavalry from Bian County into the Han cavalry army and let the Hu cavalry serve the Han people.
And the Hu Qi I met a few days ago was not too weak.
Especially the weapons and armor are even better than those of his own troops.
Therefore, it is not too wrong to regard them as the cavalry level of the Han army.
But Ke Bineng still couldn't help but want to marry Puhe Yu's mother.
Because it was not until he saw the military formation in front of him that he realized that the Hu Qimen opposite were simply dogs of the Han army and were not even qualified to be included in the Han army's military formation!
Looking at the motionless Han cavalry next to Hu Qi, Ke Bineng became even more frightened.
Because he vigorously promoted the method of commanding his troops with flags and drums that he learned from the Han people, he understood more clearly what this kind of orderly and immobile cavalry represented.
Miscalculated!
Ke Bineng felt some regret in his heart. Not only was he wrong in attacking Hu Qi, but he was even more wrong in leading the army to show off his power.
You can also use the misunderstanding to cover up the attack on those barbarians.
When he led the army, he thought he could let Feng Langjun know about the strength of the Xianbei cavalry, but unexpectedly he was embarrassed.
It's just that Ke Bineng was the best among the Hu people after all. He had gone through many setbacks in his life and knew the importance of patience and waiting for the opportunity.
But he took a deep breath, stabilized his shaken mind, then looked around him, stretched out his hand and touched his brother:
"Ruoluo Aliu, go and go to the other side and tell Feng Langjun that I came here to greet him in person today just to fulfill my agreement with Feng Langjun and fight against the Wei thieves together."
If Luo Aliu was entrusted with an important task by Ke Bi Neng, his face turned green.
Cao!
It was your son who attacked the Han army, not me. Why should I go?
Kebi could see his brother's face, and when he thought of his son's panic just now, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Neither his brother nor his son are good candidates to lead the tribe.
If one is cowardly and the other is unintelligent, they cannot even convince the public.
After myself, I don’t know who can lead the Xianbei people to move forward?
Could it be that he really wants to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Tan Shihuai?
Thinking of this, he felt even more irritated and yelled:
"What are you doing standing still? Go quickly!"
Although Ruoluo Aliu was reluctant, he did not dare not listen to Kebineng's words.
He knocked the horse's belly and stepped out of the crowd, somewhat frightened.
The horse underneath him seemed to know his master's thoughts. He jogged for a long time before finally arriving in front of Ming Dy.
He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should continue to cross Ming Dy.
Fortunately, someone in the Han army's formation quickly ran over on horseback.
"Who is coming?"
If Luo Luo A Liu was granted amnesty, he quickly shouted:
"Ruoluo Aliu, come and report to Feng Langjun, and my lord will come to greet you personally."
Soon, several more riders rushed out of the formation towards Ruoloa Liu and led him into the military formation.
Ruoluo Aliu looked at the Han army's formation from a distance and was already shocked.
Unexpectedly, when I was in the formation myself, I realized that what I saw outside was just the surface.
The long bows and heavy crossbows of the Han soldiers were very different from what he had seen before. At a glance, he knew they were weapons of massacre.
As soon as he passed the crossbow formation and went further in, he was so frightened that he almost turned around and ran away.
But when he saw a forest of swords like snow, he almost couldn't open his eyes due to the shaking. The soldiers holding swords were all tigers and wolves, and they were really tigers and wolves.
Even under the sun, Ruoluo Aliu seemed to be able to feel the cold air emanating from Daolin, penetrating directly into his body.
After finally passing through the forest of knives, we came to a strange formation.
After many twists and turns, we finally came to a high platform.
If Luo Aliu came here from the front of the formation, he was already impressed. He bowed his head respectfully:
"Ruo Luo A Liu, on the order of Master Ke Bineng, come to see Feng Hou."
A voice sounded from above:
"Get up, what message can Kebi ask you to bring over?"
"Thank you Marquis Feng." After Ruoluo Aliu stood up, he replied, "Returning to Marquis Feng, Master Kebineng said that he came to greet Marquis Feng in person today just to fulfill his agreement with Marquis Feng.
, fight against the Wei thieves together."
I don’t know if I heard it wrong, but after he finished speaking, a chuckle came from above.
Governor Feng narrowed his eyes and looked ahead at Xianbei Hu Qi, who seemed a little restless.
He could guarantee that if the troops brought here this time were not enough, what Ke Bi could say might not be the same.
At that time, Wuhuan Wuchen Di rebelled against the Han Dynasty. He first wanted to join Fuluohan, and then wanted to join Kebineng.
When the three parties finally met for an alliance, Kebineng actually killed Fulohan in public and then annexed his tribe.
Demonstrate to everyone what "I want it all" means.
Even those who swore an alliance with the same clan could do such a thing. If Feng Jishi truly believed in Ke Bineng's so-called performance of the contract, then he would be a ghost, even though he is the king of ghosts.
But Governor Feng said to General Guan:
"You stay here and I'll go to the front and take a look."
General Guan nodded: "Be careful."
Then he ordered Jiang Wei and Zhao Guang:
"The two of you go together with the Lord."
When the Tiger Infantry and Iron Cavalry Battalions really need to be dispatched, either the enemy has already rushed in front of the commander's platform, or it's time for a decisive battle.
Therefore, Jiang Wei and Zhao Guang, after completing their formation, would basically follow Feng Jishi and obey orders at any time.
As soon as the arrangements were completed, Governor Feng asked Ruoluo Aliu to go back and resume his duties. He took Jiang Wei and Zhao Guang, got on his horse, and walked to the front of the battle.
Kebineng, who received Ruoluo Aliu's reply, saw the Han army's formation once again separated into a passage, and several horses appeared in front of the formation. He quickly knocked the horse's belly and rode forward.
But what he didn't expect was that when Governor Feng came to the front of the formation, he refused to move even one step. He just stood there firmly, as if waiting for him to go forward.
Halfway through the distance, Ke Bineng's expression changed again.
Cao!
Does this person surnamed Feng regard himself as a subordinate and wants to go forward in person?
Instead of following the meeting rules, each party walks half the distance?
But when he saw the military formation on the opposite side, he gritted his teeth and clamped his legs together to speed up his mount.
Governor Feng watched Ke Bineng's horse pass Ming Dy, his footsteps kept moving, his body shape remained unchanged, and he couldn't help but murmured:
"Able to bend and stretch, he is truly a character."
Before Ke Bineng arrived, an enthusiastic voice came from far away: "Ke Bineng, I have met Feng Junhou!"
Governor Feng put a smile on his face, finally greeted him and said with a smile:
