(Not afraid of annoying you, still three words, please collect)
On the Urad grassland south of the Qilian Mountains in Western Xia, there were more than 24,000 Western Xia German troops stationed. The Liao Kingdom launched a large-scale invasion. The Tiande Army was the closest army to the Qilian Mountains except the Heishan Weifu Army.
In the middle of the month, most of the Tiande Army was transferred to the north of the Qilian Mountains by Weiming Xiaoxiao to set up defenses.
There are still more than 4,100 Tiande troops stationed in the original camp. The reason for these more than 4,000 people staying is to monitor the Han Kingdom in the east. After all, the Tiande Army is stationed far away from the border between Han Dynasty and Daxia.
It was really too close. If Han Jianxiong's army marched in a hurry, it would only take three days to cross the border and appear on the German defense line.
Given the relationship between the Liao and Han, there is no guarantee that the Jianxiong Army will not take advantage of the situation. Although 4,100 men are not many, as long as they hold on for two days, the Xixia cavalry on the front line of the Qilian Mountains will be able to arrive.
The top commander of the Tiande Army who stayed at the garrison was called Mendie, a fourth-rank general. This man had some background. He was once the commander of the personal army of Emperor Wei Mingxiao of Great Xia, and later he was allowed to leave the Tiande Army.
Centurion, it only took him four years to accumulate military merit and be promoted to general, and he was truly a good general.
As usual, Mendou arranged the manpower for night patrol and returned to his military tent. The Tiande Army's garrison is different from other troops. There is no place within a radius of 300 miles that can be called a city. The largest one
There were only about 500 herdsmen households in the village. There was no city defense, and the Tiande army set up camp on an unknown hill.
This hill may be regarded as a part of the Qilian Mountains. Although it is hundreds of miles away from the Qilian Mountains, and there is endless grassland between the two places without two hills, people here firmly believe that this hill is part of the Qilian Mountains.
.Of course, no one will delve into such trivial matters. Everyone just says it is, and there is no need to take it seriously.
The Tiande Army's camp was built on the mountain, but this hill is too short and not steep. The highest point is only about seventy or eighty meters. The reason why they chose to camp here is that they can build a lookout on the mountain.
It is farther away than when standing on the grassland.
The herdsmen all know where is the safest place, so there are many large and small villages not far from the Tiande Army station. The largest one has more than 500 herdsmen households, and the smallest one only has two brothers and two families of five.
A tent. The nearest village can be reached in half an hour by horseback riding from the Tiande Army station, and the farthest one can be reached in no more than two hours by galloping on horseback.
The patrol area of the Tiande Army is very large. The three hundred-mile-long border in the east is not only protected by beacon towers, but also patrolled by the Tiande Army's cavalry in units of 300 men.
Returning to his tent, Mie Die drank a large bowl of milk tea that had been frozen with ice. A feeling of coldness that penetrated his heart immediately spread to his whole body. The cold made him concentrate and shivered.
, Meidian sat down and began to think about some unusual things today.
Logically speaking, the team sent out for patrol twenty days ago should be back before tonight. The three hundred cavalry in rotation have been out for three days. There is no reason that the team led by Commander Anku has not returned today. Every time the cavalry patrols, the last
He will inevitably return to his base half a month late. And Anku is notoriously impatient, and the return trip is often much faster than the departure speed. Even if the road is difficult to travel after heavy snowfall, with the toughness of Anku's leadership, it will take 17 or 18 days at the latest.
Should come back.
Mie Die hung the large iron pot filled with milk tea on the brazier. Looking at the heat gradually coming out of the iron pot, his brows became tangled.
"Someone is coming!"
The soldiers on duty outside opened the heavy curtain and got in. The night wind covered with snow foam suddenly blew in, and the flames in the brazier suddenly jumped up. Lao Gao. The snow foam got into his neck, and he felt cold.
It comes to my heart.
"General, what are your orders?"
"Go and call Li Feng and tell him that I have an important task for him!"
The soldier responded, turned around and ran out. Not long after, Li Feng, the leader of the scout team, got into the tent, tightened his shirt tightly, and then performed a standard military salute.
"General, what's your mission?"
Li Feng is a 25-year-old veteran. He is said to be a 25-year-old veteran because he has been participating for seven years at this age. He has grown from an ignorant boy from an ordinary herdsman's family to being in charge of a hundred scouts.
Although the progress of the team leader is not fast, it is solid. You must know that those who can serve as scouts are elites in the cavalry. The scout team leader is often the best in all aspects among the hundred scouts.
that one.
Although Li Feng is also surnamed Li, he has no connection with the Li family of the Daxia royal family. He does not know the original surnames of his ancestors. Since his father decided to surname Li, everyone in his family has gradually changed their surnames. Li Feng has already
After working as a scout captain for two years, General Mie Die said last time that if nothing unexpected happens, his captain will become a bold captain in charge of 300 people in a while.
Although the team leader is also a captain, the ninth-grade accompaniment captain and the seventh-grade Guogang captain are much more honorable. What's more, after reaching the seventh-grade rank, they belong to the official officer establishment.
.As long as you are promoted to a Kokang Colonel, even if you don't go to the battlefield or perform missions, you will still get more military pay than before.
Mie Die had great trust in this young man whom he had single-handedly promoted, and Li Feng was considered his confidant, so he woke him up on such a cold night without any guilt, because Mie Die knew that as long as Li Feng did
If he is good enough, he can give him a better future.
"Take the most skilled scout with you and pursue the cavalry route all night long. If you meet Commander Anku on the way, follow him back. If you don't meet him, chase and kill Commander Dilo's cavalry.
Tell Di Luo to be careful, there may be Han troops sneaking in."
Li Feng raised his eyebrows and asked: "General, you are saying that Lord Anku's team may have..."
He didn't say the next words. Even thinking about it, he felt that his body was unbearably cold. This was a feeling that was more biting than the night wind and made people feel at a loss.
"I just suspect that Anku has been on the battlefield for a long time, and all the three hundred cavalry under his command are good boys. Even if they encounter a large group of enemies, it is impossible that none of them will be able to escape. I guess they are somewhere.
We encountered a snowstorm, so we haven’t rushed back yet. But there’s nothing wrong with being careful. Even if they are really wiped out, it’s still a good idea for those who caught up with Dilo to tell them to be careful.”
Li Feng nodded and said: "I understand. I will select some men and leave overnight, trying to catch up with Lord Di Luo's cavalry team within five days."
Medie nodded and said: "Well, you go ahead and be careful. You are the person I like. An outstanding soldier like you should be rewarded. After you come back this time, I will promote you to the rank of Captain Zhiyong. Don't let
I'm disappointed."
Li Feng felt excited in his heart. Zhiyong Colonel, that is a military rank of the sixth rank, with a total of 500 people under his command! He really didn't expect that the general would value him so much. He originally thought that the courageous captain was the limit for promotion, but who would have thought that suddenly
Zi has been promoted to seven levels in a row!
"My subordinates will definitely live up to the general's instructions!"
Li Feng solemnly performed a military salute, then got out of the tent under Mie Die's expectant eyes, and called his subordinates to set off overnight to pursue Captain Di Luo's men.
After Li Feng left, Mie Die poured a bowl of boiling milk tea and sipped it slowly. It wasn't until the warm heat in his stomach made him feel tired that he put down the tea bowl and moved the brazier to his bed.
He moved closer, took off his heavy leather armor, and quickly got into the warm furry blanket.
Perhaps it was because he had been thinking about too many things these days. It took him a full hour to fall asleep. The brazier had gradually become colder. He seemed to have noticed the change in temperature and wrapped himself tightly.
Plush blanket.
call!
A gust of cold wind blew in, blowing the charcoal ash in the brazier onto Mie Die's face. Mie Die, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the cold, and then a burst of anger arose in his heart.
"Damn, how are you on duty? The wind blows open the curtain, don't you know how to block it?!"
He turned over and shouted at the door. As soon as he finished shouting, his expression suddenly stiffened. He sat up suddenly and pulled out the machete beside the bed.
"Who are you!"
There was a bloody man standing in front of Mie Die. In such a cold weather, his blood was not frozen and was still dripping. This only meant that this man's wound was too deep and too deep, and the bleeding never stopped.
Passed by. The two soldiers on duty at the door were holding the bloody man on the left and right, with expressions of fear on their faces.
"General...General, get ready quickly, the Khitan wolves are coming to kill you!"
After the bloody man said these words, he could no longer hold on. He tilted his neck to the side and passed out. Mie Die jumped up suddenly and held the man's head for a closer look. After seeing the man's face clearly,
Mie Die was so frightened that he had goosebumps all over his body. Li Feng! This person turned out to be Li Feng who just led the scouts to chase Di Luo!
Mie Die was startled and then quickly calmed down. He pointed at a soldier and said: "Blow the trumpet! The whole battalion is ready for battle!"
"Wake him up, I want to know what happened!"
After Mie Die put on his armor, the soldier poured 20,000 cold milk tea into Li Feng. Li Feng snorted and vomited a large mouthful of blood, and then slowly woke up.
"Li Feng! What happened!"
Mie Die grabbed Li Feng's chest leather armor and asked loudly.
Li Feng's throat crackled several times. He vomited a large mouthful of blood again and seemed to be more conscious. Seeing that it was General Mie Dui in front of him, Li Feng suddenly grabbed Mie Dui's hand and said, "General,
Hurry! Get ready quickly, the wolf cavalry from the Liao Kingdom are coming to kill you at night! The black armor and wolf-headed banner are Khitan people!"
He clutched Mian Dui's hand tightly and cried: "Master Anku, Master Di Luo's head is hanging on the horse of the Khitan leader!"
Upon hearing these words, Mie Die's face suddenly turned pale. (To be continued)
