Outside the White Wolf War, Zhou Dalang had just arrived with a batch of food and grass. He hadn't returned home for a year and was filled with sorrow.

Before leaving, three more people in the team escaped.

Military law is harsh. Once the escaped person is caught, he will not have any chance to live. But these people still ran away resolutely. As for where to go, Zhou Dalang could even think of it with his toes, he must have gone home.

Maybe some people will say, will they not be arrested after returning home? Yes, they will indeed be arrested, but many people will not consider so much. I just don’t want to fight, I just want to go home, I just want to run away.

Of course, some people did not go home, but hid nearby and became bandits. They were afraid of being taken to the city to kill, so they would rather be bandits than run away.

Everyone has their own ambitions, there is no way.

"Commander Zhou, where is the food discharge?" Bailangshu is a very small place. The city does not have much food in it, and the wilderness is empty. There is almost nothing except a military camp.

No, there should be some facilities, such as tents.

Many Ding Zhuang from the vassal tribes were gathered, with a large number of people, and they didn't know what they were doing. "The people from the Qingyi Army were asked to store them in the military camp." Zhou Dalang said helplessly: "Listen to them."

The barracks were cleared, and most of the soldiers left the camp and formed a team in the wilderness. Zhou Dalang watched in a daze. For a moment, he wanted to recruit the warriors.

Being a Tutuan villager, you can get the least money and fight the worst battle and you can't go home. Instead of doing this, it's better to make a living by making a fortune, at least you have more money.

"Woo——" the sound of the horn sounded.

Ding Zhuang, a foreigner who was just resting, immediately stood up, picked up the equipment in a panic, put the dry food on the horse's back. Then, as the heads yelled and scolded, they led the horses to the open space to gather.

"This is going to go to war," Zhou Dalang murmured to himself.

However, these herders don’t look good. Apart from being able to ride horses, their combat skills are really hard to describe. Perhaps archery is a strong point, but war is really not that simple.

Zhou Dalang can ride horses, although the old horse at home has long been dead. He can also shoot arrows on horseback, but his level is not very good.

But if he fights in close combat immediately, he asks himself that he has been more powerful than these shepherds because his father Zhou Heitong used to force him to practice riding a rifle and stabbing wooden boards.

Speaking of which, when the martial arts trend of the people in the Central Plains was strong, such people who had practiced a few skills were excellent soldiers. They knew martial arts, could line up, and pulled them out for a little rectification, and then they could go to the battlefield. This was also the year

After Zhu Xuan, Zhu Jin and Shi Pu were annihilated by the Liang army as a system, they were able to pull up the troops one after another to continue to resist.

Zhou Dalang is actually a qualified recruit. After being a Tutuan villager, he felt the atmosphere of the battlefield, participated in the siege, escorted food and grass, and even built a camp, but his experience was not a piece of paper.

.

This is the confidence of the Daxia court to the nomadic tribes in the grassland - I can lose many times, and then the size of the troops is endless. "Woo--" horn sounds are heard one after another.

The grassland, which was originally slightly silent, suddenly woke up, and the sound of horse hooves was everywhere in every corner, occasionally mixed with officers' scolding and commands.

Someone has already set out first, which were the foreign soldiers and light cavalry. Then there were the herdsmen driving cattle and sheep. They would not participate in the war directly, but they were responsible for logistics. Then there were the main force of the Qingyi Army's 4,000 infantry and cavalry.

"Luoyang County Turkisheng Group is the first and second commander, Henan County Turkisheng Group is the second commander, Xin'an County Turkisheng Group." The Qingyi Army general who stayed behind Bailang Shou detained Zhou Dalang and the others and said, "Dig trenches on the spot,

Build the trench wall until the army returns."

A low noise broke out in the crowd, but it was soon stopped by the Qingyi army warriors.

The Tumen had no choice but to take out their tools and start working.

But this is not necessarily their entire job. The real job may include fighting, and no one can say that.

*******

"I'm begging you, this time, fortunately." Helian Jun threw the wine bag to Brother Yelu Hua and said.

Helian Jun is also a personal army of old guards. Shao Sheng went north to the Hongchi and

When Li Keyong met, he was a thousand households and even refused Shao Siwu's request to enter the Yulin Palace.

Later, he participated in several wars. After the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom, he served as the Shaoqing of the Guard. This time, the guards were summoned by the general army, and he served as the deputy commander as the Shaoqing of the Guard.

After the news that the Khitan in Yingzhou was about to be dispatched, Shao Shude ordered the general reserve team to dispatch half of its troops, led by Helian Jun, and temporarily returned to Li Cunxiao's command, and returned to Pingzhou and returned to Jian after the war was over.

Yelu Huage arrived just yesterday.

He was originally going to Changxia Palace, but was sent to Linyu Pass by Ye Liyu. According to the current situation, it is likely that the war will break out first here.

Brother Hua couldn't do it, so he crossed mountains and ridges and arrived at Guancheng at night, so tired.

This is not over yet. After hearing that there was a silted road that could reach Yingzhou, Helian Jun was overjoyed and asked Yelu Huage to lead the way.

This does not mean that Helianjun trusts Yelu Hua Ge very much. In fact, he had vaguely heard that there was a road that existed before, that is, after leaving Linyu Pass, he would travel east along the coastline and reach the Daliao River.

This was impossible in the past, because there were tidal flats and swamps there, and vehicles could not be accessed at all. From the towns set up in Liao in the Tang Dynasty, it can be seen that after leaving Linyu Pass, the coastal area was completely blank.

Yingzhou in the Tang Dynasty had its main population area in the north, and the post road also did not pass through the coast. After leaving Linyu Pass, walk a section along the coast, then head north, and walk along the White Wolf Water (Daling River) Valley to Bailang.

The mouth, Bailangshu, then head northeastward and head straight to Yingzhou.

Even you don’t need to leave Linyu Pass, you can travel east from other passes and turn directly to the post road. Strictly speaking, Linyu Pass is not a great road. The reason why you build the Guancheng here is that this gap is too big

It must be blocked.

But times have changed. Two hundred years have passed, and a lot of land has been silted out along the coast. The trend of swamp degradation is very obvious, and the difficulty of passing is greatly reduced. Although there is no way to take a carriage, I have passed

There is no problem with people and livestock.

Brother Yelu Hua knew this well, so he took the initiative to offer advice.

Helian Jun had already vaguely heard of it, and he found someone to confirm it, thinking that the news was very likely to be true. After asking Li Cunxiao, he decided to lead his troops to the east - except for ten thousand guards and soldiers who set out,

There were more than 10,000 men from the foreign tribes, driving cattle and sheep to follow.

In other words, on the Yingzhou battlefield at this time, the Xia army divided into two groups, one from Bailangshu, led by Li Cunxiao, and set up an ambush; the other was led by Helianjun, and walked along the coast and redirected.

Go around to the rear of the enemy.

The strategy was decided by Li Cunxiao, and there was no problem in general. Although Helian Jun was dissatisfied with his subordinate general's command, he also recognized this combat idea.

In ancient times, if the attacking side exposed its combat intention and let the opponent know, it would have lost half of it.

It was rumored that when the former Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin was exploring the enemy camp, he smelled the smell of boiled meat from afar. He immediately judged that the enemy was about to launch an attack, so he went back to prepare and defeated the thieves.

Helianjun didn't know the truth or falsehood of this rumor, but the meaning was right. There was only one road, and if you came suddenly, I might not have time to prepare. But this time they had already summoned Ding Zhuang from various divisions and had a fight. Mobilization can be said that everything is ready, and only the thieves are required to attack.

As the sun sets, the huge team is moving forward in a row and disappears into the vast reeds.

*******

Xiao Agu was the only one who stood alone for the first time, so he would not mention the pleasure in his heart.

Unfortunately, Xiao Chongshang's mother didn't follow her, otherwise she could see how a man was heroic in the battle. Should he marry Chongshang or marry Jinggu? Agu was really hard to make a decision.

Chonggu is a suitable age, twelve years old, and he will be able to get married next year. Qigu is a little younger, but she is the daughter of A Baoji and her sister, and her status is even more noble. It’s so difficult to choose!

A fast horse flashed by not far away, like a speeding speed, looking very arrogant.

Agu was only a little annoyed. I clearly ordered not to ride a horse when marching, so why did anyone openly violate the order?

In a rage, I immediately sent someone to ask if it was not a scout, messenger or a messenger

If the soldiers were ordered, they would be whipped immediately. "It was Gao Xingzhou, the vanguard of the Pinglu Army." Someone came to report it soon.

"Let me immediately-" Xiao Agu was only halfway through and stopped again.

"Forget it, let him go this time!" He squeezed his horse's belly in a depressed state, and the divine horse rushed out like lightning. He turned around the periphery first.

It is obvious that it has entered the mountainous area.

The White Wolf Water passed through the continuous hills and cut out a relatively gentle river valley. The Tang Dynasty post road was built along the river valley and led to Yingzhou. It was more than 160 miles long.

In fact, you can still see some military towns that have long been abandoned along the way. During the 19th Tang Dynasty, Yingzhou was the headquarters of the Pinglu Jiedushi.

This vassal state had 37,500 soldiers, including 5,500 cavalrymen, who were escorted to Khitan, Xi and Liangfan, led the management envoys of the four prefectures including Bohai and Heishui, and also the commander of Wei.

With more than 30,000 infantry and more than 5,000 cavalry, Xiao Agu could not imagine how powerful it was.

Agu could not name these abandoned military towns, although he was already trying hard to learn from the Han people.

If the Xia people can be defeated this time, I will help Shilu restore these military towns. The bases are all there, and the city is rebuilt, so that the people of the Bohai Sea can be placed, and they will let them plow the fields and grazing cattle and sheep for us. How great is it.

Well, how should Shi Lu thank me? Marry me from Chongshen? Haha.

"Hao!" The rushing sound of horse hooves came. Xiao Agu was stunned.

"A summer thief appears!" The scout rushed back and said loudly.

"What?" Agu only rode his horse back into the formation and asked, "How many Xia people are there?" "About fifty cavalry." The scout replied.

This place is actually not too far from Bailang Shu, at most a hundred miles, so it is not surprising to meet Xia Ren Rangers.

"More than fifty cavalry." Xiao Agu only pondered for a while, then slapped his thighs suddenly and said, "Call up people and follow me to surround and kill this group of thieves."

More than fifty horses can say more than more, less. Once they are surrounded and annihilated, they can hang their heads on the flagpole, which can also boost morale.
