Yun Zheng was also asking himself this question. He had actually asked himself this question many times, but this was the first time he had asked it like this on the desolate desert border.
The environment is different, and people's moods are also different. When Yanyu Jiangnan said this sentence, he had just come out from the famous prostitute's bed to think about himself. The lost little scholar must always find a lofty ambition for himself.
When I said this sentence at the border, although it was a little desolate, it was still somewhat heroic, especially when I was standing on the side of the road and watching my army passing by in an endless stream.
The words were more iron-blooded.
"Give me one hundred thousand cavalry, and I will conquer the world."
Many young people have said this, but for many it is an unattainable dream, but for Yun Zheng, such a dream is his living reality.
Originally, the army should continue to rest at Yanmen Pass. Tan Wei asked Hai Dongqing to send an army report saying that Xiao Dahu's former army had appeared at Hequ Pass. Therefore, Yun Zheng had to lead the army out of Yanmen Pass and start his real battle.
The Northern March.
This time, in Taishan's overwhelming fighting style, he had no intention of using any conspiracy. The army was walking on the vast Gobi desert as far as the eye could see. The silhouettes of scouts kept appearing on the horizon, and red flags reporting safety were rising one after another. The flying eagles in the sky.
It chirped from time to time, then flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.
The biggest consideration why we chose to march in winter was that we were worried that the Khitan people would pollute the water sources in a despicable manner.
As early as when the Han general Huo Qubing was marching north, the Huns had already thrown dead cattle and sheep carcasses into water sources to pollute the water sources. This method had been used countless times, but it was not very effective. The Jingxi Army had
The habit of drinking boiled water and the method of getting the disease through the mouth have limited effect on them.
After the troops left Shuozhou, Wang Anshi did not follow him. This stubborn man would rather stay near Yanmen Pass and resettle the refugees who lived more miserable lives than ghosts, rather than follow Yun Zheng's army to the north to gain the illustrious treasure.
achievement.
When Chen Lin heard Yun Zheng's words to himself, his expression was very frightened. He had long been sure that Yun Zheng had no strange self-reliance, but after hearing Yun Zheng's words, he began to understand,
Yun Zheng was in a state of confusion at this time. At least the rogue actions of the court officials in bringing the refugees to Yanmen Pass had really hurt the general's heart.
Liang Ji did not come back, but the army left Yanmen Pass. The white horse army was supposed to stay behind, but now it was at the forefront of the army.
Lang Tan's 10,000-strong army has already left. The number sounds like a lot, but if these people are thrown into the boundless wilderness, they will soon disappear.
The mission of the vanguard army is to open roads in the mountains and fill bridges when encountering water, but Lang Tan's mission is not that. Their only mission is to appear in front of the Khitan people, make them nervous, and face the people on the wasteland from the scattered camps.
After gathering in the important town, Yun Zheng really didn't have much time to lead his army to pull out all the Khitans in Xijing one by one from their winter camps and then eliminate them.
Therefore, killing became the only way for the vanguard army to bring the enemies together...
The large-scale massacre came from the White Horse Army. This was how Yunzheng arranged it. Lang Tan drove the enemy out of their lair, and then was killed by the White Horse Army with all cavalry equipment.
No one on the northwest battlefield dared to disobey Yunzheng's military order. Although the White Horse Army changed from a city defense force to a field force and such a transfer was not legal, Li Dongchu accepted the military order without thinking.
He felt that if he hesitated any longer, Yun Zheng's butcher's knife would definitely fall on his neck.
Jiang Zhe became the guard of Yanmen Pass and was responsible for the defense of the three passes at the same time. Yun Zheng believed that there is no such thing as a perfect victory in war. Sometimes some extremely small unexpected factors can lead to a complete defeat of the entire army, so later
The road must be preserved.
Zhao Zhen is about to die. Lan Lan said that Zhao Zhen has no strength to survive this winter, so Zhao Zhen can do whatever he does. An emperor who is about to die wants to see his army win the battle.
Zheng understands, but will not deliberately pursue an unprepared victory.
For this battle, the Song Dynasty had been preparing for five years. There was no need to take the entire army to take risks just to comfort the emperor.
After the army left Shuozhou, they headed west along the Pianguan River. Xiao Dahu appeared near Hequ Pass. Although the troops led by Liang Ji had already gone to Hequ City, Yun Zheng still felt that he needed to be there.
On the border between the Song Dynasty and Xixia, a show of military prowess was carried out to intimidate the Xixia people.
Like a jade belt, the Pianguan River floats into the distance like a jade belt. As long as you follow this river, you will always reach the Pianguan area. Yun Zheng walked this road once in the past. At that time, the fields were full of crops that were about to mature.
Today, only white snow covers the earth here. Because of the war, there is no sound of chickens and dogs, and no curling smoke.
Tan Wei, who was sweating profusely, finally had a chance to take a sip of water. He raised the kettle and poured it for a long time, but not a drop of water came out.
After cursing, he closed the lid and threw the kettle into a fire beside him, preparing to melt the ice before drinking water.
Looking outside the city through the shooting hole, I feel very good. Now there are mountains of corpses under Hequ City. Wherever you look, there are Khitan corpses. Countless broken corpses make this place look more like a Shura field.
.
Three days ago, he was still thinking about how to lure Wei Ge Ning Ling to continue attacking him. This behavior was as convenient for him as hunting.
If the enemy dares to cross the river after sunset, they are seeking death. If there is no strong walled city as a hiding place on the edge of the fortified city, the defenders will have a thousand ways to attack the enemy who dares to camp on the edge of the fortified city.
The enemy troops were destroyed.
Therefore, as long as enough scouts are sent to keep an eye on Wei Ge Ning Ling, once he wants to cross the river, he will lead the defenders to the river and put wheels on the Eight Ox Crossbow, whether he is advancing or retreating.
It is very convenient, a soldier can drag a car and run wildly on the flat ground.
Continue to massacre those Xixia people who have persisted in their incorrigibility by the river.
Thinking of the dangerous situation three days ago, Tan Wei couldn't help but stand on end. His own sea green was chased around by another sea green, so much so that he forgot to be vigilant. If he hadn't been out of consideration, he would have been there.
When the scout signal was not received, he immediately gave up his plan to continue massacring the Xixia people and led his troops back to the city. Before the city gate was closed, a large number of Khitan cavalry appeared on the high slopes to the west of the city.
This must have been a premeditated plan. The Xixia people were dying in front, and the Khitan people looked for opportunities to make a surprise attack. Unfortunately, their thirty-one scouts were all killed by the Khitan's crossbows.
After Xiao Dahu discovered that the surprise attack was unsuccessful, he immediately changed his fighting method. The cavalry dismounted and launched a fierce attack when the Song army was not yet stable...
For three days, the Khitan people's attack on Hequ City never stopped. Even the fall of night did not hinder the pace of their attack. It was really strange to retreat at this time.
The antlers outside the city have been destroyed, and the Juma nails buried in the ground have been cleared out by the Khitans one by one. As for the moat, the water in the river was diverted by Lang Tan before it froze.
, and now the remaining empty river channels have been filled in by the Khitans.
The next step is to climb the city. The shadows of rams and siege engines can be seen in the distance. Tan Wei is ready to use gunpowder to blow up these things, but the Khitans retreat...
He took out his kettle from the fire, took a sip of lukewarm water, and waited for the scouts who had just been sent out to bring him new news.
Tan Wei was not worried about the safety of Hequ Pass. As early as when the city was being built, Lang Tan paid more attention to the buildings under the city. Ever since the battle at Pianguan Pass, Lang Tan had a new understanding of the power of the tunnels.
Therefore, when attacking Hequ Pass, the important thing is not the city gate outside, but the tunnels inside the city. Even if the Khitans break through the city gate, the defenders in the city can still attack the enemy at close range by relying on the ubiquitous tunnels.
Lang Tan knew that his city was a prominent point in the northwest of the Song Dynasty. Once the war started, no matter whether they faced the Xixia people or the Khitans, this city would become the first target of attack. As long as this city
However, neither the Liao people nor the Xixia people had any room to boldly attack the three passes.
The weather was extremely clear, and the blue sky was inlaid with a white sun. However, this sun did not bring any warmth to people. The howling cold wind blew over, and the bloody corpses under the city no longer exuded blood.
The smell seems to have frozen everything in the world.
Triton whined and refused to fly into the sky. As soon as he went up to the sky, four or five Tritons would rush over and bite him. Tan Wei couldn't help but look at the miserable appearance of his Triton's feathers falling off.
Drive it to continue to the sky to act as eyes and ears.
But Tan Wei stopped laughing soon, because he saw a sea turtle in the sky flying towards the city in a panic, and behind it, five sea turtles were chasing closely...
The yellow eagle flag was quickly put up, and seven or eight light crossbows were pointing straight into the sky. As long as his Haidongqing fell, Tan Wei planned to entertain the Khitan people who only bite their own Haidongqing.
Trichosanthes does not have any other effects.
His own Haidongqing gathered his wings and rushed towards the eagle flag like an arrow. Tan Wei was shocked. Judging from the way Haidongqing landed, the eagle would be killed even if it landed. He raised his hand to catch it.
The flag, the huge flag was waved violently by him, and the broad flag tightly wrapped the Haidongqing inside, but Tan Wei's body was driven back several times by the power of Haidongqing's impact.
When he stepped forward, the soldiers came over to help him hold up the flag, and a limp Haidongqing fell out of the flag. (To be continued)
