Chapter 1321 The troops have not moved(1/2)
Lulong Town has actually been abandoned.
In the tenth year of the Divine Turtle of the Jin Dynasty (326), Duan Wenyang kept complaining that although Lulong Town has a large territory, it is mostly mountains and not many flat lands, and most people can only grazle. It is fine if they grazed, but people are often disturbed from time to time, and they are uneasy to grazle, making them poorer and poorer. In the end, they have to rely on the food and silk rewards from the court to live.
Therefore, in order to better control the Tuoba Xianbei, Lulong Town was abolished, Duan's troops moved westward to Xuanhongchi, and monitored Pingcheng nearby.
Xuanhongchi is a good place, and there is not much pressure from war. Duan’s troops left happily. Duan Wenyang also took a post in the Shanyu Mansion, and his status has greatly increased.
However, after Duanmen left, there was always someone to guard Lulong Town, after all, this place was really critical.
During Kaiping, the Ministry of War issued a document to re-establish Lulong Town, but to date, the so-called Lulong Town generals and soldiers are not fixed.
Instead, the powerful and elite tribes were drawn from the counties of Youzhou, and their children led people to the guard. To put it bluntly, the imperial court distributed national defense costs to the local government, which is also the wisdom since the Han Dynasty.
In the classical era, it was not that the Ming and Qing dynasties would cost money to do anything, and the national system, social atmosphere, and political ethics were different.
On the morning of March 16th, there were waves of horse hooves in the mist in the mountains.
Two thousand soldiers in the capital were as if they were facing a great enemy, and they beat the drums and prepared for the war as soon as possible.
The five hundred cavalrymen stationed outside the city led all their horses out, with a serious expression.
It was not until the personal soldiers of King Shao Yu of Yan arrived and the two sides confirmed their identity that they were lifted out of their guard.
Shao Yu did not stop in Lulong Town, but directly crossed Lulongkou to the north. The so-called Lulong Pass, namely Panjiakou, is located west of Xifengkou, and has now been submerged below the reservoir.
After traveling northward, the scenery suddenly changed.
At noon, everyone had a rest.
At that time, the sun was shining, and the mountain breeze blew away the mist, showing the true appearance of Yanshan before everyone.
Pei Man, a friend of Yan, got off the horse, raised a clear spring, and wiped away the dust on his face.
"Your Highness." He turned around and said, "Don't stay for more. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Murong brothers read the wall,
Let's go ahead and build a warehouse city."
Shao Yu put the horse aside, came over to wash his face, and asked, "Where is the best place to build a warehouse city?"
"Hinggang (also known as Hiraoka, Hiraoka) is the best in the old city," said Pei Man.
Pinggang County (west of Weichang), the state-owned Yuyang, was newly established and not Pinggang County in the Han Dynasty.
Pinggang’s former city is the former site of Pinggang County, Han, located between Pingquan and Ningcheng in later generations. It belongs to Youbeiping Town, Ningcheng County, on the west bank of the Laoha River.
"Is it too far?" the lieutenant came over to Hua and asked.
He had just finished rectifying his troops, and he was personally led by three thousand cavalrymen of the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Lieutenant Sima Luhan led three thousand Yanshan Yuanyuanhu infantrymen to the back.
Following them, there were 1,200 soldiers from the Right Cavalry Guard, led by a deputy general named Tuoba Sigong. The soldiers each led a war horse and a horse. The war horses were riding themselves, while the horses were collected by more than a hundred troops, and there were also a lot of luggage on the horses.
In other words, there were more than 4,300 cavalry who followed Shao Yu in advance, and more than 6,000 infantrymen were rushing behind.
They should have arrived in Lulong Town now.
"It's so good." Shao Yu smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? This is not the first time I have left this road. Since Murong Shu defeated Yuwen,
After driving it away, nothing is certainly safe in this area. If Pinggang’s ancient city can be renovated, the situation will change drastically. Even if you encounter an enemy, you will be killed."
Everyone heard his heroic words and their morale was greatly boosted. Even Tuoba Sigong couldn't help but look at him and thought to himself whether this King of Yan was powerful or was it really so heroic?
After resting enough, more than 4,000 riders took seven days of dry food and continued northward.
*******
On the 17th night, the sky was clear during the day, and fine snowflakes floated at night.
Everyone sighed inwardly and was about to find a place to rest, but they heard the sound of war horses galloping from the mountain road ahead.
The other party seemed to have noticed them too, and soon stopped, and then a burst of people shouted and neighed.
"Right Cavalry Guard!" Tuoba Sigong shouted loudly, and asked someone to light a torch and shake his flag.
Two followers rode behind him and beat drums on the horse's back.
This is a signal of gathering troops.
"It's really an old soldier." Shao Yu praised secretly, but he was a little dissatisfied. This general did not ask about his opinion.
He then beat the drums and gathered troops without authorization.
On the plus side, people are extremely knowledgeable and will judge the situation on the battlefield by themselves and make arrangements by themselves. At the critical moment when the two armies are stalemate and each suffers great losses, such middle and lower-level officers are valuable wealth and can often achieve miraculous results.
To put it in a bad way, it is purely a self-decision and destroying the tactical deployment of the main general. What if they want to ambush?
After all, this kind of mansion soldier who fought for many years was too confident and looked down on those outside the system who commanded them.
So brave! Du Yu laughed without being angry, I want such a soldier.
I like a arrogant soldier and powerful general, others regard it as a disaster and a beast!
"Go to China!" Shao Yuyi pulled his horse back and said loudly.
"I'm here." The lieutenant went to Hua and clasped his fists.
"You order a thousand people, five hundred on one side, and more than one torches, heading towards the mountains on both sides." Shao Yu waved his arms and ordered.
"As for your order." He immediately started to order troops when he arrived in China.
Most of the people he ordered were Hu Hanxinzhang recruited last winter. These people were not trained enough and might not be able to fight tough battles, but they had one advantage: they could shoot arrows and ride horses.
Five hundred people went left, five hundred people rushed to the right, each with a master commander,
Birds and birds flew in the mountains and forests, and there was a faint sound of wolf heroes, but no one was afraid. After each landed, he picked up his bow and arrow.
Make a general battle.
The enemy seemed to be setting up or hesitating, but soon the sound of horse hooves started again and he ran directly toward this side.
"General Tuoba." Shao Yu looked at the gathered soldiers and said loudly.
Before the horse arrived, the 1,200 soldiers in the palace had not even had time to wear armor, so they had already started to arrange their troops.
The front team had 300 cavalry, and they selected those wearing leather armor, with 500 squadrons and 400 squadrons without armor. At this time, they were not afraid and each had a variety of weapons to set up formations in the mountain road.
"Your Highness can watch the battle, and then lead the troops to attack the thieves." Tuoba Sigong responded.
"How dare you let the Right Cavalry Guard be beautiful in front of you? You can fight the thief together." Shao Yu waved his horse and said loudly.
Tuoba Sigong looked at him seriously and said, "Your Highness is indeed heroic."
Shao Yu turned his head and looked back.
Among the fine snowflakes, a thousand elite cavalry of the royal palace had already boarded the horse, and the array was like a star.
"Anyone who kills the generals and seizes the flag will be the one who is alone to lift his armor and pulls his horse. If he is afraid of the battle, he will be killed without mercy. In this battle, I will be invincible." After saying that, Shao Yu ran out first.
"I am invincible!" The royal guards rode their horses and chased them away quickly.
Pei Man, Pan Dan, Cui Jinghua and other scholars were anxiously watching the direction of the departure of King Yan, while taking out a spear and a horn bow.
He also galloped out.
In the cold snowy night, they were already sweating profusely, and tried their best to urge their horses to stand in front of the King of Yan.
The royal guards were extremely brave. Dozens of cavalry came from behind and rushed to the front.
The mountain wind whistles, and snowflakes come to your face. There is also the thunder and strings that are mixed in the wind.
The terrain ahead is getting wider and more densely packed.
The war horses neighed continuously, and the knights groaned one after another.
A torch appeared faintly in the wilderness, but under the wind and snow, it soon became dim and about to be extinguished.
Enough!
Shao Yu adjusted his direction and rushed straight toward the densest place of the enemy's torches.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air came from around him, and one of them was even nailed directly to his body, but it was blocked by the armor leaves.
When he arrived in China, he slowed down his horse and commanded more than ten soldiers to surround the King of Yan.
At the front, dozens of elite cavalry of the royal palace had already collided with the enemy, and screams were heard far away in the night.
Shao Yu squeezed his legs hard and suddenly rushed out, shouting: "I can smell the scent of the thief's belly.
Don't stop me!"
Everyone was so excited by him that their blood surged.
Damn, the King of Yan is not afraid, what are we afraid of if we have a bad life?
"Which warrior fights with me!" Shao Yu said loudly.
"Fan Yang and Liu Jiu, I am willing to fight side by side with Your Highness!" He rode forward and shouted.
"Bailaiye, Duan of Peiping."
"Your Highness retreats a little, Hou Mo Chensan is here!" A big white horse rushed out like lightning, followed by several cavalrymen, with their braids covered with frost and snow, but their heroic spirit filled the entire mountain.
"Boom!" Shao Yu stabbed a ball of oncoming black shadows, threw them away with great effort, and laughed and said, "Get back! Today, if you don't use horse hooves to step out their hearts, and if you don't cut the knife, who dares to retreat?"
As he spoke, dozens of cavalry passed by him, storming the harassing enemy cavalry archers and collided with the oncoming enemy.
