The sky is high in the northwest and the sky comes late.

The Six Thousand Youqin did not march closely against the outer periphery of Jihe River, but drew an arc and a half. If the northern defense line of Jihe River was like a relatively flat and straight bow string, then the trajectory of Youqin was the bow arm. In the area covered by the bow string and bow arm, many Beimang scout horse rails left the gourd mouth and stalked and spyed in it, in order to prevent the army from being supplied by the Youzhou cavalry who were alone in their arms from attacking from the side. Yu Luan Dao advanced this time, and still used the "forced" galloping force of the cavalry.

, which reached a terrifying three-day and six hundred miles of progress. If it is a military asider who only knows how to talk about war on paper, or the common people who have heard too many famous horses in the northwest who can travel thousands of miles a day, how could this speed be considered a forceful march? But if both of them can see with their own eyes how dusty the Youzhou cavalry was resting on the spot, and when they look at the scene of nearly a hundred war horses lying limp or even falling dead on the spot after the cavalry stopped, they will understand how difficult it is to travel a long-distance that is most likely to be put on the battlefield in the next moment.

In the twilight, Xu Fengnian washed the horses' noses at a water source where winter snow melted. This time, their 6,000 Youzhou cavalry had more than 15,000 horses, approaching one man and three cavalry, and more than 400 horses died on the way. Almost all of them were the Beimang war horses seized from the northern battlefield of Yinyao City at that time. It was not that the Mang horse's physical strength was far inferior to the Youzhou war horses. In fact, the opposite was the case. Although the Beimang war horses lost the explosive power of the battlefield charge to the Beiliang horses, in terms of physical strength, the Mang horses actually had to win. They were the two commanders of Lilu and Langsien, who marched to Jibei at that time, and for

In order to take care of the overall situation of the Eastern Front, there are not enough people to ride one person and two riders. Even if they took a day off before the war and used fine grain to feed the horses, it was still not enough to make up for the damage to the physical strength of the war horses. This time, the Youqi felt sorry for the "daughter-in-law" who had been dependent on each other for many years. During the march, he deliberately rode more Beimang war horses, and was even more favorable in feeding for the forage. It is inevitable that Beimang horses were exhausted to death. After removing the armor, Yu Luan Knife rolled up her sleeves and carefully cleaned the back of the mount and said with a smile: "It was not necessary to run so many war horses to death. If one person and three riders were willing to spread their feet equally, at most fifty-six would die."

Xu Fengnian looked around and smiled and said, "It's good that this is the case. There will definitely be continuous wars starting tomorrow. Just take it as raising energy. Our cavalry is obviously more familiar with the habits of Youzhou war horses. It is better to die hundreds of more Beimang war horses than to die on the battlefield."

Yu Luandao nodded and said softly: "Fan Fen's more than 300 scouts have been scattered, most of which are fifty cavalry, and at least half a scout. After all, we have already started to encounter Beimang Horse Roof this morning. In order to prevent our army's whereabouts, Fan Fen's scouts must kill them as long as they see the enemy scouts, otherwise they will fail as long as they escape Beimang Horse Roof. I am very grateful to the prince for his willingness to send out the three close entourages and help Fan Fen's scouts. With them walking with him, the full determination to wipe out Beimang Horse Roof will be much greater."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "The young woman has the word "Xuan" in Fushuifang, and the old man refers to the master of swordsmanship in Xuan Realm. As for the child, he is called Yu Dilong, and he is the eldest disciple among my three disciples."

Yu Luandao joked: "They killed Beimang Horse Roof, which is a bit like hitting sparrows with a bed crossbow."

Xu Fengnian shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "I won't talk about it for now, wait. Beiliang will give Beimang a small surprise in the future."

During this period, Xu Fengnian was like the most ordinary Youzhou cavalry. Not only did he not take away the military power of Yu Luan's sword, but he did not walk around like several generals during several short rests. He only acted as a temporary scout and went away from the main cavalry to spear the military. This time, the Youqi attacked, all the light cavalry would abandon excess baggage and reduce all items that would delay the cavalry's speed. Except for a very small number of generals equipped with guns and spears, all the cavalry only wore a cool knife and a light crossbow. Those with outstanding wings could add a hard bow and three arrow pouches. The march formation has been maintained in the past few days.

In the form of a column, when entering the combat area tomorrow, there will be a row of lines during the war. This forced marching, the Youqi cavalry opened his eyes to Xu Fengnian, who had never been deep into the bottom of the border army before. For example, those Youzhou war horses do not need to be pulled by the horses at all, and can be moved closely with the owner for mobile transfer. Even if they are temporarily stationed and rested, the war horses will always wander within a few feet of the master, which means that even if the Youzhou cavalry encountered a sneak attack that the scouts had no time to report, the six thousand Youqi cavalry could still wear armor and line up to meet the enemy without any scattered in half an incense stick of incense, and complete it in one go!

The three feet of ice is not a day's cold. The outstanding horses of Youzhou are related to the "most important horse politics in northern Liang" in Liyang.

The scout of Yibiao galloped back from the southwest. The rider who was riding alongside the scout of the scout was actually a young man with a tender face. The equestrian was so so sophisticated that he didn't have to hold the reins of the horse. The posture of holding his sleeves with his hands together was similar to his master. The scout of more than 40 riders under his command got off the horse and rested. He and the child named Yu Dilong rode the horse to the main general Yu Luandao and the "General" Xu Fengnian. After getting off the horse, he bowed his hand and fisted, and then reported the military information. It turned out that they had met the sixty cavalry and the sixty cavalry in a military town in Longyaozhou for the first elite horse railing.

I thought it would be a fierce battle with heavy casualties, but I never thought that the child would take the lead, and then jumped high and left the horse's back. He beat more than 20 horses to death with both fists in one breath. After the Youqi scout drew his sword to charge, it turned into a one-sided pursuit. One of the scenes was that the thin young man was still in the air, and he grabbed a feather arrow from the Mangqi to shoot towards the long face of the long face from the Mangqi. The child inserted the neck of the horse's railing leader, pushed the body away, squatted on the back of the Beimang war horse, and grinned at the Mark with gratitude.

As a result, this encounter that should have been evenly matched was over. The Youzhou scout only injured nine people, and the injuries were not serious. At this time, the burly Biao Chang couldn't help but reach out to rub the child's head. He never thought that the child's body would be fierce and then tilted away Biao Chang's palm. The child's feet were nailed into the yellow sandy land, and the tilt of his body was extremely large, but he wanted to fall, which immediately attracted a burst of cheers from the nearby Youzhou cavalrymen.

Xu Fengnian looked at the child who always pretended to put his hands in his sleeves and glared: "Big kid, show off his master's demeanor, stand up!"

Yu Dilong laughed and stood up straight again. Biao Chang successfully rubbed the child's head. Because his fingers and palms were covered with calluses, although he was as gentle as possible, he still made Yu Dilong's hair messy. The child rolled his eyes secretly and sighed in anger. Then Biao Chang squatted by the water and washed his face randomly, glanced at the child beside him who was sticking his butt and drinking water with his mouth, and smiled knowingly. This little guy is really powerful. With one punch, he not only easily hit the man of Beimang to death, but also suppressed the war horse.

In an instant, his legs broke and he couldn't get up. He swept his arms and tied the iron armor and his body into two pieces for the child. After sighing, he turned his head and said softly: "Little guy, when he arrives on the battlefield where thousands of riders fight each other, he should be more at ease. The Northern Barbarians' riding and shooting are not bad. Once they are targeted, they will be very troublesome. Back then, our old Biao Chang also had good martial arts. At that time, he injured the ribs of a few arrows on the side and fell into the root of his illness. Otherwise, he wouldn't have withdrawn from the border army so early."

Yu Dilong nodded with a bright smile and said, "I knew it long ago. Master told me that this is called "two fists cannot beat four hands". The killing of dozens and hundreds of cavalry is not the same as the battle formation of thousands or tens of thousands. Don't worry, my eyes are very good, and even if there is no eyes on my back, I can still feel the kind of thing called murderous intent. Besides, Master also told me that in our Beiliang, we will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. As long as it is trapped in the formation and rush forward, it is hard to say anything else, don't worry about the back. If it is really dangerous, there will naturally be a robbery to block you."

The chief Biao asked, "What does the general really say?"

The child who drank several pounds of water in another breath was not afraid of his stomach, looked up and said, "Isn't it?"

The head of the flag squatting by the water touched his chin and sighed: "This is not an old soldier from the border army, so I can't say it."

"By the way, big man, what does tutu mean?"

"It's the one who is equipped with a cold knife and a cold crossbow, and then kills the barbarians together."

"But I don't have a crossbow. I asked my master a few days ago, but he refused to give it to me. Then what should I do? Or is it your robes?"

"Of course!"

"That big guy, please give me a set of cold swords and crossbows? I'm so envious. If you are too stingy and don't want to give it, you can lend it to me."

"Little guy, I'm really stingy. You can't borrow any of these swords and crossbows or war horses at will, otherwise you will have to deal with them by military law. Only when I'm discharged from the army one day, can I leave a set of armor and crossbows as usual. Haha, I'll send them all to you when the time comes.

OK."

"How can I get the Year of the Monkey? It's so boring to talk to you. Forget it, Master said that you can't chew too much. First practice boxing skills before learning other things. Alas, but I really want to wear a knife around my waist like Master."

Listening to the childish words, he laughed heartily.

Yu Dilong turned his head and looked at Xu Fengnian who was standing not far away, begging and shouting: "Master! When will I have my own sword? The big man admits that I am his robes!"

"I have only drunk the northwest wind and sand for two or three days, so how dare I call each other with people?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and kicked the child in the butt. Yu Dilong rushed towards the water, but did not hit the water. He saw his hands pressing against the water surface, sliding out two water marks. He supported his hands and feet slightly, and his body stood upside down, still on the water surface.

Soon a second team of scouts returned to the army and Yu Luandao to report the enemy situation. The burly leader of the previous team quickly said goodbye and left. Xu Fengnian smiled and nodded. Yu Dilong quickly slapped the water with a palm, jumped back to the shore, and followed the big leader of the team to continue the scout mission.

The sky is getting darker, but for the Youqi army, it is absolutely not afraid to march at night. The night blindness symptoms commonly known as "Sei Mengyan" may be quite common in the southern army of Liyang. However, among the major border troops, not to mention the Beiliang cavalry, which is skilled in night battles, even the two Liao and Jizhou, the cavalry bars rarely appear. On the one hand, the supply of border towns is better than that of the dynasty, and on the other hand, the screening of border soldiers, especially cavalry soldiers, are also related to the screening. Of course, the late night attack, relying on the flames of a cavalry and a torch in the Northern Liang Border Army Regulations, the cavalry's advancement speed will inevitably be greatly limited. Unless the night battle in the wild is a specific battle with clear goals, it can also avoid it for cavalry generals.

Six thousand riders are like a dragon walking on the yellow sand.

In the night, Xu Fengnian suddenly asked, "Yu Luan Dao, have you ever thought that this march, we will stay away from the two cities of Jizhou Yinyao Hengshui, and the Hulukou was blocked by the 90,000 Beimang's army. Although we can still use war to support the war and use Beimang's supplies to support ourselves, it is destined to be more and more difficult than another. At that time, the war will be unfavorable and will eventually form an encirclement for Beimang. When the mountains and rivers are over, the four horses and Yu Dilong and I can leave as long as we want, but it is difficult for you and Liu Qianqi to die in the Hulukou."

Yu Luandao smiled calmly and said, "No wonder the prince is not willing to approach the Youzhou cavalrymen. Is he afraid that he, the King of Beiliang, will be the last look in their lifetime? In fact, you don't need to do this. Since the day we sent troops, we have understood what the outcome is. These soldiers may not have studied much, and they have not even studied. However, after several years of wars over ten years, no one is stupid. They don't want to go to Jizhou to die. It's not that there are more than a thousand people who have been away for various reasons. Some are afraid of entrusting their relationship with each other and leaving in shame. But there are also people who are the only ones at home and are too young to drive them away."

Yu Luan Dao looked particularly calm and took a breath, "But, since he came, he was all out of life and death. Even if he was hesitant before the war, he could not help but wince. Fear of death? There must be some, but how long does the two armies confront each other and how long does it take for the cavalry to charge? If his hands and feet are weak and afraid of death, he will really die. After a charge, he will die, very quickly. After the charge, he is not dead, and he looks like the robes around him die behind him, and he is so lonely on the battlefield, so naturally he is not afraid of death. The war is like this. Since the general left Liaodong, our Beiliang has infused the Xu family cavalry. After more than thirty years of polishing and tempering, he has cultivated this breath!"

Yu Luandao turned his head to look at Xu Fengnian with a solemn and pious expression, and said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is, whether it is the Xu family Iron Cavalry or the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, no matter how many people died in the battle or how many defeats were in the middle, we won every time in the end! Even if we only had dozens or hundreds of people standing on the battlefield, we were never afraid that no one would help us collect the body after death! What we were afraid of was the enemy pointed by our Beiliang Blade! "

Xu Fengnian was silent for a long time, then smiled and asked, "You are the eldest grandson of the Yu family, and we are all in Beiliang. Don't you feel awkward to talk?"

Yu Luan Dao seemed to be stunned for a moment. Obviously, he had never thought about this problem. He looked down at the Da Luan Dao on his waist and the cold knife on his waist on his other side. After looking up, his eyes were particularly clear. He slowly said: "When I first arrived in Beiliang, of course I didn't want to regard myself as a Beiliang person at first, and then I forgot when I blurted out. But since I don't have any impression, I think this should be a natural thing. This may be the so-called subtle move.

Yu Luan Dao likes the scenery of the northwest desert from the heart, desolate, vast and spectacular. Being in it can make people feel insignificant. Even the smell of horse manure in the military camp will be liked after a long time. Unlike in the prosperous city of Jiangnan where singing and dancing, no matter how good the wine is, you will want to vomit after drinking too much. No matter how expensive the rouge on the beauty is, it will be disgusting if you smell it too much. I, Yu Luan Dao, have the kindness of raising parents and the kindness of family cultivation, and can only live up to this life..."

Speaking of this, Yu Luan Knife took off the peerless sword "Da Luan" on the list of powerful weapons on the world, and threw it gently to Xu Fengnian, and said with a smile: "I really want to die outside the mouth of the gourd, it is difficult to collect the body. In the future, the prince will put this knife in my tomb. By the way, the prince, besides the tomb of clothes, I must also have a piece of the stele forest behind Qingliang Mountain."

Xu Fengnian threw the priceless big phoenix sword back to Yu Luan sword, and smiled bitterly: "Put it away first. Even if it is a life-threatening death, as long as it is not a situation of death, don't just say the word "collection of corpses."

At the end of the Yin hour, the sky was still blue and white.

A scout of Biao Youqi rushed over. Biao Chang and the sword box cotton cloth had been torn off. Biao Chang and the two riders of Mi Fengjie were located at the beginning and the tail. Biao Chang and the commander Fan Fen reported: "Forty miles northwest, based on the common fire brightness of Beimang's night marching, it is estimated that more than 2,400 cavalry guards were going south, and the war horses were equipped with about two or three riders."

Fan Fen and Shi Yuluandao, deputy general of the main general Yu Luandao, said, "Except for the 2,400 cavalry warriors, the auxiliary soldiers and civilians should be no less than this number."

Perhaps because he was afraid that Xu Fengnian would not be familiar with the situation in Beimang, Fan Fen added a few additional sentences and explained: "Bei Mang plundered the southwards over the years, and they would recruit grassland tribes in large numbers. If there were 100,000 cavalry to go on the expedition, they would often carry no less than 200,000 tribes and millions of cattle and sheep. A small half of the Southern Dynasties would be cleared out. Unlike the people of the Central Plains imagined, during the Yonghui period, the Beimang cavalry broke into Jizhou every time, unless they completely passed through the entire Jizhou and went deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains, they would never exist for five hundred miles.

The food and grass supply line on the line can quickly return to supply after a battle. Moreover, their auxiliary soldiers are completely equivalent to most of the combat soldiers in Liyang except for the border troops, and they even have stronger combat power, because as long as they are given a bow and a horse, they can become regular cavalry at any time. In history, many battles occurred in Jinan. Those Liyang troops who tried to raid the supply line have suffered great losses here, so this time, we have to calculate at least 4,000 cavalry or even 5,000 cavalry in Beimang..."

Xu Fengnian didn't say anything and kept listening carefully. However, Shi Yulu coughed, and Fan Fen quickly shut up.

Xu Fengnian then smiled and said, "Vice Fan, I have been to Beimang before, and have witnessed their baggage transportation methods with my own eyes, and I still have some understanding of their combat power. I am now an ordinary cavalryman, just charging on the battlefield."

Deputy General Su Wenyao looked embarrassed and pointed at Fan Fen with a horse whip and scolded: "Get out of here, you are not afraid of missing the military opportunity. When our prince and those generals were learning military tactics, you kid were still playing with mud with your crotch open!"

Fan Fen scratched his head in a shy face, rode his horse away, and did not use Yu Luandao and other generals to order another military information. He personally led his subordinates to go there. After the war horse had already run out half a mile, the captain later realized that something was wrong, and finally realized that something was wrong. I, Fan Fen, is a man in his early forties. Logically speaking, when I was playing with mud, the prince was not born yet!

When Yu Luandao ordered the preparation of the "Semi-Army" battle, the orders were passed down layer by layer, quickly and accurately.

Six thousand cavalry entered the state of war immediately.

Compared with all other troops in the world, there is one thing that many people can't figure out. They already have the best combat power in the world, but they are still making a fuss about the details year after year. Especially after Chen Zhibao served as the PRIMARY, he reached the realm of perfection. So in the Liyang Temple, a civil servant once joked that a certain place had to care about where the PRIMARY was built. Is it necessary to even follow the rules when stools were built? In fact, it was a coincidence that after the Northern Liang army set up camp during the war, they really had to take care of the soldiers' toilets, eating, drinking, urinating, and sleeping. Even if there were rats in the military camp, cicadas chirping in summer, snow in winter, etc., they must be held accountable strictly and seriously!

If Beimang is a nation on horseback and a natural warrior.

Then the 300,000 border troops in Beiliang are completely war-crazy.

From commanding the generals to commanding the lieutenant, to the commander, the sergeant, soldiers, everyone knows what they should do and what they should not do when the war comes. You don’t have to do anything at all, everything will become natural. Because those rules and regulations under countless sticks are deeply imprinted in your bones.

As for those titles with greater official rank, it is very simple, which means military merit.

The Northern Liang army has always been clear in rewards and punishments. For example, the matter of corruption may have been used to it in Liyang for a long time. Beiliang dare not say that corruption is prohibited. The generals who stay away from the border are no less ruthless than other places to make money. However, in the border army, once it was verified, even if the officials who had just greedy for a few taels of pension and directly passed by the silver, the Military and Justice Department would go to behead the public! The bosses of the corrupt officials were pushed up to three levels and were all demoted. Beiliang Road

The General Manager Li Gongde said a meaningful saying in private that he would regard his descendants as their lives in Lingzhou as if they were crazy about their wealth. However, Beiliang has always been generous in rewarding military merits. He beheaded a few of them, and they were promoted on the spot. After returning, they received silver rewards. They opened boxes filled with white silver in the military camp and took them away on the spot. There were a large group of post cavalry in the border army responsible for helping transport the silver from the border.

When Xu Xiao conquered the Northern Han Palace, the first thing he did was to open the treasury and share the money! At that time, Diao Temple, who was still doing military supervision in the Liyang Dynasty, was kind enough to remind him to be careful of impeachment in the court. Xu Xiao only said one thing at that time, and after eating it, it would be shit. If anyone wants it, I will turn around and lead the troops to squat at their doorstep.

Of course, it is impossible for the six thousand Youzhou cavalry to swarm up when they hear prey forty miles away. Yu Luandao issued the order to temporarily attack by the "half army". When the six thousand cavalry quickly advanced thirty miles under the leadership of the vanguard battalion responsible for selecting the route, the six thousand cavalry began to change horses at the same time, and the dismount and the horses were almost completely silent. The three thousand cavalry began to "slowly" move forward, and the remaining three thousand cavalry did not rush to attack, but they were also classified as the thousand cavalry of the central army and the thousand cavalry on the left and right wings. Nearly ten thousand idle horses were temporarily restrained by the three thousand cavalry who remained unmoved.

It was just dawning.

At this time, the three thousand cavalry were only five miles away from the Beimang enemy.

Beimang was not blind, and the horse railings sent to the east were almost dead. Although the few cavalry that fled back could not even find out how many enemy troops were, the commanders of the thousand men in the Beimang army had special "Ditings" under their command, and they were close to the ground. Although the answer was not very accurate, they would not be able to describe thousands of horses as hundreds of horses. When they heard at least two thousand enemy cavalry appeared, the two thousand men were shocked, and they quickly arranged a cavalry front line across the north and south. The auxiliary soldiers were also hurriedly launched as the second group of living forces and could be put into the battlefield at any time.

The battle of the Western Border Wall that Li Yang Dachu had been in conflict for several years, from the initial 70,000 to 80,000 to tens of thousands, to the end of each of them, hundreds of thousands of whom were almost the limit of national strength, and the continuous reduction of troops was constantly reduced, and more troops were continuously added. During this period, the two sides used countless exciting or tragic battles, including the teachings of the military strategists in later generations. In the war where the strength of the two sides was not very different or morale, they were desperate to gamble from the beginning.

If you don’t know how to leave the elite soldiers to the finale at a critical moment, you will often lose badly. The reason why Chen Zhibao was able to stand out is that he became the only young general who was as famous as the four famous generals in the Spring and Autumn Period, both in military achievements and reputation were enough to be as famous as the four famous generals in the Spring and Autumn Period because he fought again and again, but slowly got back to the situation and then turned defeat into victory. Moreover, he had never lost on any battlefield where his military strength was superior.

The two armies confront each other from afar.

The front lines have also been opened to the width they think are the best.

When two thousand men saw the flag, they had no luck at all. It was really the word.

"Xu"!

No matter why this cavalry with about 3,000 people appeared outside the gourd mouth, it was really the real Beiliang Iron Cavalry!

The Northern Liang cavalry advanced in an orderly manner without any hurry or slow.

"kill!"

It seemed that the suffocation of the Beimang two thousand four hundred cavalry began to activate the maximum explosive power of the war horse and began to launch a rapid charge. The roar and roar of the Beimang Knight resounded throughout the sky.

Opposite, two deputy generals of Youqi, who had not yet charged, suddenly grabbed the horse's belly and slightly deviated during the rush forward. After approaching the cavalry that was located in the middle of the front line, Shi Yulu laughed loudly: "The last general is honored to be able to fight side by side with the general!"

Su Wenyao also said: "What General Shi said is what the last general thinks."

The rider didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.

Near this cavalry, the cavalry formation seemed to have a blank space.

This was specially ordered by the main general Yu Luan Knife.

Wait until the two deputy generals return to their original positions.

Yu Luan's knife pulled out the cool knife, raised it high, and gently waved it forward.

charge!
To be continued...
