The horse's feet were stuck in the thick snow and it would slip when it stepped on the ice. Azig just used his spurs to urge the horse to run wildly. He didn't know how many times he fell off the horse. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He just gritted his teeth and got up, got on his horse and continued to the southeast.
He ran wildly, no matter how many people could keep up with him.
He is not running for his life, he wants to go back to Dezhou to ask for reinforcements to destroy the Jiangdong left army. To avenge the bloody hatred for Tuzhen and Yan Shenling, a mouthful of blood is stuck in his Adam's apple and is about to come out. Looking at Dezhou City in sight, Aji
Ge endured the grief in his heart and did not bother to clean up his tattered clothes. He spurred his horse and ran towards the city gate.
Azig led a few cavalrymen into the sight of the sentinels on the outskirts of Dezhou City in embarrassment, and immediately two teams of sentinels came around to intercept them.
"Blinded your dog eyes..." Azig felt a sorrow and anger in his heart, with no place to vent it. He saw the sentry rider blocking his way, and when he got close, he whipped him. But as soon as he raised his hand, it seemed that he had been holding it in.
The blood in his Adam's apple spurted out uncontrollably. The one-of-a-kind horse under his crotch had also been galloping wildly in the ice and snow for two days. At this moment, it reached its limit. The front hoof gave way and once again threw Azig until he was frozen hard.
On the avenue.
Only a few of the cavalrymen who came back with Azig could speak. Only then did the outpost rangers realize that the man who fell off his horse was the man with tattered clothes and armor. He was Yezier Khan's favorite concubine, Nah Azig, the younger brother of Nah.
, hurriedly carried the unconscious Azig onto the horse, and galloped towards the royal tent in the city...
Ye Jina Yan and Ye Jina Tuzhen died in the battle in Cangnan without even retrieving their bodies. They were regarded as the pride of Bulun Mountain. The elite king's tent that had never been defeated since Ye Ji Er Khan personally established it was wiped out five times.
More than a hundred, this news was like a pebble thrown into the calm lake on the afternoon of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, and it immediately disturbed the troops on the southern front of Donghu...
************
The Donghu King's tent and the Donghu South Line command tent are located in the Pingyuan Prefecture Administration Office in Dezhou City.
In the back garden of the Administrative Office, there are strict guards, all with short collars and narrow sleeves, and scimitars on their hips. A middle-aged man dressed as a scribe is looking up at the cold blue sky. He is wearing a blue robe, without a belt, and is thin and fair.
He has a cheeky face and narrow eyes. He is about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and his body is also very thin. He has a refined and elegant air from the Southern Dynasties. Others would never guess that he is King Yejier of the Eastern Hu Khan who led a hundred thousand tiger and wolf troops to invade Youyan.
"King Khan often lamented that there were no worthy heroes in the Central Plains after Su Hu. Is this Lin Fu really interesting?" Standing behind Yejier was a beautiful lady with a watery appearance. She was afraid of the cold, wore pure fox fur, and had a charming face.
The pure white fox fur with soft luster makes it even more charming. Only the most beautiful woman in Donghu has the courage to put such flawless white fox fur with her face. Her eyes are like lacquer, but they have the agility of the stars in the quietest night.
.
She is the Jade Concubine Na He who is known as the Eastern Hu Bihua. She was twenty-two years old. When she was fifteen years old, she was adopted as the Jade Concubine by Ye Jieryu. Seven years have passed, but this flower is
More and more delicate.
"Am I so arrogant that I regard the heroic men of the Central Plains as nothing?" Ye Ji'er chuckled, reaching out to take the He family into his arms, "The Southern Dynasty was a vast land with abundant resources, and it was normal for heroes to emerge in large numbers. After Su Hu, Yang Zhaoqi, Li Zhuo
All of them are first-rate, wise and courageous figures, and those heroes who are unknown to me, Donghu, are even more rare. However, after winning a few battles, I got a little carried away... Has Azig woke up?
?There are several thousand-year-old ginseng in the tent, take one and give it to Azig to keep him healthy."
"Na Yan, Na Tuzhen died in the battle, and Azig escaped alone. If the Khan didn't chop off his head, it would have been an extra favor. How could he be qualified to enjoy the old ginseng?" Na Heshi said softly, as if Ah Ji
It's like Jigur is not her biological brother.
"It's a pity that Na Yan and Na Tu really died in battle. Especially Na Yan, Luo Rong regarded him as his own. When the news spread to the north, Luo Rong didn't know how angry he would be," Ye Zier sighed softly.
, said, "Azig did nothing wrong. You cannot beat him to death just because he suffered a defeat or because he is your brother. It is good to have this defeat. Let me remind everyone..."
Xiu Shou ordered the guard at the gate of the courtyard and said, "Ask Xiong Qi for me. Is your mind clearer after kneeling and reflecting? Ask him again. If I give him five thousand cavalry, how will he deal with the already interspersed troops?
The Jiangdong Left Army in Cang County?"
"King Khan really wants Nahe Xiongqi to lead his troops to pursue the left army in the east of the Yangtze River?" Naheshi asked, "All our Donghu men are almost concentrated on the eastern front. In such a snowy and icy environment, three or four thousand Southern Dynasty infantry cannot form a big attack on my flank.
Threatening and dividing the troops to pursue them will affect King Khan’s deployment of Jinan Mansion..."
Naheshi is Yejier's favorite concubine. She has been with Yezier for seven years. She is extremely smart and very proficient in military matters. She can be said to be an important assistant around Yezier.
.
"If I don't send troops, Luo Rong will have no composure and send troops from the northern front," Ye Zier said. "I'll keep an eye on this side personally. There will be fewer troops so it won't hinder the overall situation... The left army in Jiangdong can be alone.
When crossing to Cangnan, there must be some support that we cannot yet see through. I sent Xiong Qi there, but Xiong Qi is more mature and prudent than others. I don’t expect Xiong Qi to be able to eat up the Jiangdong Left Army, but we must restrict the Jiangdong Left Army from Yan.
In the battle of Cangnan, the loss of troops was second. The impact on the morale of the Southern Dynasty and Donghu cannot be underestimated. Besides, our army's strategic goals for this trip have been completed. Whether Jinan Prefecture can be captured or not has nothing to do with the overall situation. Attacking
If not, the worst thing is to come back after next autumn. The key now is to buy more time so that Aweitu can destroy several rivers in the Southern Dynasties more thoroughly in Linqing..."
************
In Beikou City, Jinan, Lu Jingyan, the deputy general of King Minqin's division in the east and the guard of Zhaowu, stood in front of the city gate tower in green armor and red helmet, looking at the wilderness to the north.
After Lu Jingyan led his troops to stay and assist in the defense of Jinan, he took over the entire defense of the north of Kuocheng. The Shandong County Sheriff still trusted the guest troops and did not allow the guest troops to garrison in the inner city.
After the fall of Dezhou and the rebellion and surrender of the Linqing garrison, the two cities of Jihe and Linyi in the north could not resist for long before being captured by the Luqi cavalry. The Luqi cavalry forward had already pushed across the Yellow River and camped north of Jinan City. In addition to taking advantage of favorable conditions in the south,
The terrain still retains the passage to communicate with the outside world, and the east gate and west gate have been blocked by horsemen.
In fact, the south was also a passage deliberately made by the Luqi to weaken the determination of the Jinan defenders to resist. Lu Jingyan was very familiar with this. In addition to the strong fighting power of the Luqi, the generals were also very smart. This battle was difficult to win.
Very.
Due to the presence of a group of captive cavalry and the rebellious Linqing garrison guarding Linqing, the Qinwang divisions in the west and south did not dare to approach Jinan, and Jinan was already isolated and helpless.
Lu Jingyan's subordinates are all elite veterans who can fight hard. The military attaches have been promoted slowly by meritorious service in one battle. However, under such a predicament, the morale of the military will inevitably hesitate and waver.
At this time, several horsemen were galloping towards the camp here from the city. Lu Jingyan looked back in surprise. It looked like a flying horseman carrying a message. He didn't know what was going on, but he wanted to ride in Kuocheng City.
Lu Jingyan was about to go down to the city gate tower when he saw a number of horsemen galloping nearby. They did not report according to the rules. They just picked up a few heads with their spears and did not enter the military camp. Instead, they rode around the military camp.
The knight on the horse also shouted loudly: "The Jiangdong Left Army has won a great victory in Cangnan, beheaded 1,009 barbarian heads, won two gold medals, and thirty-five silver medals. Mr. Lin Fulin, the supervisor of the Jiangdong Left Army, special envoy
I will bring twenty raw barbarian heads and twenty silver plaques to give to General Lu as gifts. I hope General Lu will accept them!"
These knights carried twenty heads and shouted around the military camp. The silver plaques hung with the heads, shining brightly in the cold sunlight, which was particularly dazzling.
The noses of the military attachés around Lu Jingyan were so angry that some of them couldn't help but cursed: "What kind of virtue does it have to be like this after only having twenty silver medals? They say that Lin Fu is a villain and a traitor who runs rampant when he gets his way, or is he just a little bit ungrateful?"
They're all fake. You're a son of a bitch, you'll look down on him. How can the elite soldiers of Eastern Fujian be compared to the turtle-egg soldiers of the Jiangdong Zuo Army? Twenty silver plaques stuffed into your buttholes aren't enough, you're just showing off..."
The soldiers below couldn't stand it even more, and some of them shot arrows without permission to drive away the ostentatious knights.
Lu Jingyan burst into laughter suddenly. Gao Zongting sent a private message a few days ago saying that King Jiang Dongqin only had Lin Fu to rely on. It seemed that Zongting and the commander-in-chief had not declined at all. They pointed at the generals around them.
, laughed and said: "Look at you, the friendly army won the great victory in Cangnan, we should be happy for the friendly army. Today we accept these twenty silver medals, and tomorrow we will return forty silver medals to the Jiangdong Left Army.
Why do you need to be so angry when all your hatred has been relieved? You really have no grace at all."
When the generals said this to Lu Jingyan, they were all stunned for a moment, and then looked at the generals below who were so aroused that they were filled with anger. After sweeping away the sluggish morale before, they and Lu Jingyan figured out why Lin Fu sent people here to act like this.
intention.
Because we are facing a strong enemy and have to fight a difficult offensive and defensive battle, whether we can maintain high morale is even more important than whether the soldiers are elite or not. At this time, the generals also reflect on whether they have been too depressed these days.
, are you a little pessimistic? There are 40,000 defenders in Jinan, and there is a strong city to defend. No matter how strong the cavalry outside the city is, siege warfare will always be their weakness.
Lu Jingyan loudly ordered: "Open the camp gate, welcome the cavalry of the left army east of the Yangtze River, and have the whole army hold a banquet to celebrate the victory of Cangnan. This generous gift, I, the Eastern Fujian Imperial Army, will accept it first..."
Lu Jingyan regretted his previous arrogance. He did not invite Lin Fu to have a drink when he was in Jinan, and he did not know if he would have the opportunity to have a drink with him at the same table in the future.
