Royal road

Chapter 346

"Duke Liang wants to lead the army to defend against the Xiongnu?" Hearing this news, even Tuoba Yilu was surprised.

Tuoba Yilu also heard a little bit about the news that the Xiongnu and puppet Han were about to send out large-scale troops to attack Hedong.It's just that he originally thought that the Liang guild would fortify the walls and clear the country, abandon Hedong and protect Jinyang with all its strength.Who would have thought that the opponent would not only fight, but also lead the troops himself.This is going to be a fight to the death.

Is it possible that he has the certainty of victory?

"Duke Liang wants to call us to defend against the enemy together?" Tuoba Yilu became interested and asked the envoy.

The Duke of Shangdang County has always been generous.If you can send troops to rescue at a time of crisis, you can reap benefits in all likelihood.The plague of locusts was raging in Youzhou, and it also affected the Tuoba tribe.Before, he planned to reluctantly sell some livestock, but who would have expected a turning point so soon!

"My lord said that if Duan Bu invaded Jizhou, please send troops to help us and wipe out the rebels." The envoy was neither humble nor overbearing, and handed over the letter.

The letter was written by Mr. Liang himself, and Tuoba Yilu understood the meaning of the letter after thinking about it for a while.In the battle against the Xiongnu, Liang Gong seemed to be sure of victory, but he had to guard against Duan Bu's sneak attack.Therefore, the role of the Tuoba Department is to assist in the defense of Jizhou and defeat the troops of the Duan Department.Not to mention the promised food and grass, just the point of "attacking the Duanbu" is tempting enough.

Now his family has occupied Dai County and a small half of Guangning County.If we can take advantage of this battle and attack Duanbu by surprise, will we be able to completely occupy half of Youzhou?

What's more, the battle between Bingzhou and the puppet Han is likely to determine the overall situation in the future.If Duke Liang wins, he will become the well-deserved overlord of the Northland.At that time, Duan Bu who has a grudge with him will definitely be like a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.It is not impossible for the Tuoba Department to take advantage of this opportunity to replace them.

How can such an opportunity be missed!

With a smile on his face, Tuoba Yi Lulang said in a loud voice: "Mr. Liang is so caring, I will do the work of a dog and a horse!"

The Jin court, which moved to the south, is no longer the target of obedience.Bingzhou is the new master worthy of refuge!

■

The soldiers and horses did not move, but the food and grass went first.Even in Bingzhou, where there are plenty of granaries, it is not easy to prepare a large army of food and grass.Fortunately, last year we just fought in Hedong, and the military depots are in place.Grain and fodder, like running water, were sent to various counties along the way.Soldiers marched out, stationed and changed defenses, and reserve soldiers and refugees took over city defense and field farming.The whole Bingzhou is like a huge chariot, rolling forward.

Half a month later, in the southern suburbs of Jinyang.

Strong armor and sharp blades, horses neighing, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses waving flags.In front of the neatly arranged army formation, there stands a high platform more than ten feet high, with soap drums hunting and drums and music singing together.

During the ceremony and music, two guiding chariots guarded each other, and one rode straight through the army formation in a large chariot.Leaning on the deer, Fu Xiongshi, four horses as the driver, under the canopy, a man stands tall and tall.

On the chest, there are beautiful mountain patterns on the crotch, embellished with gold ornaments, dense scales and armor, bright and bright.On the waist side, the beast swallows ferociously, with the belly hanging down, and the waist is extremely narrow, making the waist slender.On the top of the head, the horns of the pocket horns protrude, like a Buddha's hair in a bun, the forehead is decorated with the face of a beast, and the tassels are bright red.

This gorgeous armor doesn't look like a battle attire at all, but looks like a king kong in a temple, with brilliant dharma robes.However, nothing could suit the person in the car better than this outfit!

Under everyone's frantic eyes, Liang Feng stepped off the standing car and onto the high platform.How can such a large-scale war lack the swearing-in ceremony?He has inspected the soldiers countless times and swore to sacrifice the flag, but there has never been a time that can compare to today!

At a glance, the army formation is boundless, and the spears are like forests.The three armies of the Shangdang, Jinyang selected the vanguard, stationed troops bravely, and all the soldiers who had passed through the battle stood in front of them.They will leave their homeland and go to Hedong to intercept the soldiers of the puppet Han.Some of these people may never be able to return to their homeland, but as long as they are there, the group of vulture-like barbarians will return home with feathers, unable to move eastward!

This is the only fight!

Liang Feng stretched out his arms, stopped the drumming, and said in a loud voice: "The hypocrites and traitors are against the sky and have nothing to show for invading our country and harming our people. For example, there are wolves in the streams and ravines. The whole world is indignant! Let us lead the army now! Fight against each other, protect our people, protect our state and county! With a wave of Shuang Ge, I swear to kill the enemy's chieftain! The gods of heaven and earth are the only ones to return to!"

The clear and intense voice spread far away and echoed in all directions.The drums under the stage started again, but they couldn't suppress the roar like a raging wave.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

Beside them, there are Buddhas accompanying them and God blesses them.Severe drought can't be defeated, and locust disasters dare not invade. What a mere Hun!

The overwhelming shouts made even the high platform tremble.Liang Feng looked to the side, Yiyan and Zhang Bin were standing behind him, as well as Sun Jiao, Wang Long, Linghu Kuang, Li Jun, Tian Yu and other generals.Duan Qin took care of the rear for him, Xi Jian guarded the prefectures and counties for him, Xie Kun and Wen Qiao helped him, and Zu Ti who was stationed in Luoyang...

With such a strong army and such popular support, how can it be invincible? !

Behind him, the red cloak fluttered like a banner.The wheels and horseshoes were crushed on the newly paved gravel road, and the army set off!

■

"Battle in Bingzhou? The Lord of Shangdang Commandery?" Liu Yao couldn't believe his ears when he heard the news!

It is extremely difficult for the Xiongnu to organize a large army to fight.Not to mention commanding the troops of the Xiongnu headquarters, but recruiting the generals of the Qiang and Di tribes and raising military supplies, the entire Yongzhou fell into a brief chaos.It is also necessary to consider sending some cronies to garrison Chang'an to avoid internal and external troubles.Every day, Liu Yao racked his brains to think of ways to defeat the enemy.Where do we go from here?Are the soldiers divided?How will Qiang Di drive away?

It was so hard for the army to move out, and before they left Tongguan, such news came, how could it not be shocking?

However, after the shock, it was extreme ecstasy!The guy who had shrunk to Jinyang actually went to battle, and he was going to compete with Han Guo head-on!Isn't this a godsend opportunity?

Not to mention a big victory in this battle, as long as a partial victory can be achieved on the battlefield, the Buddha's reputation can be ruined.And if it's a fluke, it can make the other party die off the battlefield, and the state will fall apart when it is merged!

A sick man who can't lift his hands dares to fight?Is it because he has escaped two years of catastrophe and is arrogant, or is it because Bingzhou is short of troops and he needs to boost morale?

no matter what!This time, we must gather all our troops and win the battle!

"Pass down the order and take the way to Hedong!" Liu Yao immediately said loudly.

The army that was about to divide up turned into a huge dragon and rushed towards the east of the river!

■

"I'm going to Anyi tomorrow." Stepping into the camp, Liang Feng's legs and feet felt weak, and he almost couldn't hold it anymore, so he sat directly on the stool.Even if there is enough food and grass, there are supplies along the way, and the newly built roads are smooth enough.It still took more than ten days from Jinyang to Hedong.

Bingzhou sent a total of [-] troops this time, of which [-] state soldiers and garrison troops followed him from Lishi to Pingyang, while [-] Shangdang national soldiers took the road from Gaodu.The two armies marched side by side, and after entering Hedong, they met at Wenxi, and then dispatched troops to Anyi to face the Xiongnu.

It's easy to say, but in reality, I'm on my way every day.This time Liang Feng spent half of his time riding a car and half of his time riding a horse. In order to save time, he rarely entered the city.Such a high-intensity trek naturally consumes energy.What's more, he has to wear a golden armor, posing as the coach.Even after processing, a large amount of cloth armor and paper armor were used to make up the appearance, and the armor weighed more than ten kilograms.How does it feel to ride a horse with a bag of rice every day?As for the bright light armor and crotch armor worn by other generals, they are even more important.It is no wonder that the ancient warriors could use heavy soldiers like long spears and sabers, and carried armor weighing tens of kilograms every day. Their physical strength was naturally beyond human reach.

"The Huns have just entered the territory of Hedong. According to the speed of the two armies, they are likely to meet in Xie County or the Yi clan. The terrain here is open and suitable for large armies to fight." Zhang Bin set up a sand table in his tent early on.

Hedong is located in the Yuncheng Basin, and there is indeed an open flat land for large armies to fight.This time, both the enemy and the enemy have a lot of troops, plus the servants and the rear army, it is an astonishing number.Naturally, the battle will not start casually like an ordinary encounter.Instead, it is necessary to select favorable terrain in advance, lay down the camp, and fight against each other.A battle of this scale will not end in a day, and it is common to fight for ten days and half a month.Be safe, put it first.

This is the time to show the skill of setting up a camp.And he has many veterans under his command.

"Send more scouts to keep an eye on the Xiongnu's movements. He has a lot of cavalry in his army, so beware of attacking the city in advance." Liang Feng urged.

How could Zhang Bin neglect these things?After reporting the items one by one, he said: "It's a day's journey, my lord should rest earlier."

Liang Feng nodded slightly, Zhang Bin glanced at Yiyan, who was still standing aside, with a scorched face, and retreated calmly.

"My lord, quickly take off the armor!" Seeing that there were no other people in the big tent, Yiyan immediately took a step forward to help him take off the armor.

Liang Feng couldn't help smiling wryly, these days Yiyan is in charge of the army during the day, and guards the camp for him at night, so he never neglects for a moment.

Stretching his arms, Liang Feng let the opponent quickly unfasten his armor. Liang Feng stretched his back: "In a few days, the battle will start. I have a Chinese army to guard my side, so you don't have to worry too much."

A person's energy is limited, and in the future, there will inevitably be a lot of battle meetings and the time to go out in person.It is naturally impossible for Yiyan to sit back and forth like he is now.

Yiyan paused, but did not argue: "Today I will keep watch for the Lord."

This was probably the last day he stayed in his tent before entering Anyi.Liang Feng did not refuse, but nodded.

After simply eating dinner, the sky became dark.Liang Feng didn't have the energy to care about other things, so he took a rest early.After dealing with the military affairs at hand, Yi Yan walked into the side tent, without disturbing Shen Mian, and slept on the small couch next to him with his clothes on.

Outside the tent, there is a large camp with thousands of troops and horses, and it is not silent even at night.Inside the tent was a calm and familiar figure breathing slowly.What he shoulders is the burden of protecting both.With a sigh of relief, Yiyan put his hand on the hilt of the sword and closed his eyes.
