Chapter 497: The Battle of the Border

Huaqiaochang is a small place at the junction of Yanjing and Yizhou. There is a 100-man team of Mongolian troops stationed. At the junction of the two places, the forces of the Northern Expedition Army and the Mongolian army are now intertwined, and the whistle cavalry of both sides will be here from time to time.

Fierce battles occurred in places where forces intertwined. The Mongolian army stationed here would occasionally see their own whistle and smug horses returning. Next to the saddle, there were always a few bloody heads hanging, but sometimes,

It will also be discovered that the sentry detectives who went out from them have never come back. Occasionally, they can see a war horse that has lost its master and will run back. Needless to say, his master has lost his life ahead.

At the beginning, the Mongolian army had a great advantage. The heads of the hunted North Army sentry probes would exchange them a considerable amount of bounty, but with the arrival of summer, the Mongolian army stationed at Huaqiao Field

More often than not, they found that fewer and fewer whistle riders came back from their initial envy to their current pitifulness, because the chances of those who went out were getting back became increasingly rare.

The Mongolian army commander of Huaqiao Farm, Juan, is almost fifty years old. As a low-level officer who is about to retire, his only hope is to live and wait until he retires, and then return with the wealth he has robbed in the past few years.

In the desert, unlike most of the Mongolian and Yuan nobles who had moved their families to Yanjing, Lucheng and other places, a large part of them lived in the desert, and they were already accustomed to the life there.

.

After fighting all the way from the desert, the assets he stolen have been enough to allow him to live a good life in the desert. When he retires and returns home, he can add hundreds of sheep, dozens of cows, and dozens of dozens of them to his home.

A horse, in the desert, is already considered a wealthy family.

Lying in the camp of Huaqiao Farm, he calculated his fingers carefully again. He could apply for retirement in three months. The Northern Army is still talking intermittently with His Majesty the Emperor of Yanjing, about the war.

It is very likely that he can't fight, and he seems to be able to escape unsuccessfully. From being a veteran who participated in all battles from beginning to end, Juan clearly felt the changes in the enemy, and from the initial Mongolian army's unstoppable force, he fought.

Invincible, to the victory and defeat of each other. The stalemate between you and me, to the miserable summer

Defeated. After years of war, the Mongolian Yuan became weaker and weaker, but the enemy became stronger and stronger. I heard that in the summer, the elite of the Dayuan were far away from Cangjiang here and were defeated by the Yue army, and even the big tent soldiers were

It was completely wiped out. Although these news was not announced, several guys who spread these news in the army were even cut off by the general for confusing the morale of the army. But with his experience, Juan was sure that what these people said was by no means fake.

Because those senior generals are far from the original radiance of their original radiance, they are replaced by worry.

The enemy equipment he faced was not good at first. He was not much better than himself, but as time went by, he found that his opponent had at least left his side far away in terms of equipment. What made him jealous was that they were casually

A private can even wear armor and fight like an iron-shelled turtle. The ordinary arrows cannot break their iron armor at all. If they are slashed, they will be injured at most, but they are different on their own side.

"I'm afraid this battle cannot be fought!" Juan no longer fantasized about winning his wife and children and making achievements. Now he just wants to retreat and go home to raise sheep and herd cattle.

He had more than a hundred men under him, stationed at Huaqiaochang. Here, about ten miles away from the nearest friendly garrison site. There were about dozens of garrison sites like this at the junction of the two places, and in them

Behind Huocheng, a cavalry unit of 5,000 people, can respond to them at any time. Once attacked, they only need to ignite the smoke of wolf, and Huocheng's cavalry can arrive within an hour.

Juan felt that it was very safe now. It had been a long time since the enemy had not launched a large-scale attack, especially when reinforcements from the desert arrived in Yanjing, it was just strange that there were more than 70,000 to 80,000 troops in Yanjing City, but

Juan was very dissatisfied with the fact that there was no additional troops to the front line so that they could get the opportunity to rotate.

According to the old rules, they can rotate their chances of rest every three months.

Juan drank the only little wine left in the leather bag in one gulp, stood up, tied up the belt around her waist, picked up the armor from the table, hung it on her body, blocking the front, chest and back

The key point is that I grab my waist knife and walk outside the house. A daily patrol is still indispensable. More than 100 people are stationed in the Huaqiao Farm. After being allocated, I can only see a person with a bird for ten meters!

"Wolf smoke!" The soldiers' exclamations came from outside. Hu An's heart tightly shrank, took a big strode, and ran out. To their left, the rolling wolf smoke was rising into the sky. One, two, three! Hu An's

Seeing the three trunks of wolf smoke, I swallowed with difficulty. The enemy did not harass him, but attacked on a large scale.

"Captain Juan, do we want to rescue Riyueping?" A Mongolian army ran over and stared at Hulian and asked.

Three wolf smokes, at least three thousand enemy troops, and there were only more than a hundred people stationed on Riyueping to rescue them, and what to save them? When they arrived there, they were eaten so much that they were not even left.

.The enemy troops who are still unsatisfied will immediately swallow themselves and their bones.

He had a gloomy face and spat on the ground hard: "Let your brothers bring weapons and get on the horse. Let's go!" The enemy's large-scale attack will never be just in Riyueping, there must be only one there.

At the attack point, maybe I will see the enemy here soon, and I have to leave before the enemy arrives.

More than a hundred people quickly gathered together and, under the leadership of Juan, rushed out of the Huaqiao Field, but they did not run towards the Riyueping where the wolf smoke was lit, but rushed towards the Chess Ditch in the opposite direction.

There, a brigade of five hundred people was stationed there, gathering with them, and perhaps it could last longer and wait until Huo Cheng's reinforcements arrived. Juan did not dare to run backwards, that was to behead his head, but he

He can lead his army to move closer to friendly forces. Even if he is held accountable for giving up the responsibility of Huaqiaochang after the war, he has many reasons to refuse. He is no longer a passionate young man, but an old man who just wants to go home alive.

Juan's prediction was not wrong. This time it was not a small-scale provocation, but a large-scale attack. The Lucheng Camp and the Cavalry Battalion of the entire Northern Army had a total of more than 20,000 infantrymen and more than 5,000 cavalrymen joined this time.

The raid called mowing grass by Meng Yao launched a fierce offensive directly opposite Huocheng, not just Riyueping, Huaqiaochang, and Qipangou, but a comprehensive attack.

Chessboardgou is naturally among the attacks.

Meng Yangao was very excited. He was a member of the Gaoshan tribe. In the past, he was an elephant slave. Even among the Gaoshan tribe, he was the most despicable industry. He had no personal freedom and no property of his own. Even they were the patriarchs at that time.

Wealth. The only skill they can make themselves survive is to train war elephants, and this skill is passed down from father to son, and they will never escape their fate as slaves.

However, the Anqing border army fought in, and the former high-ranking clan leader collapsed in an instant. The former nobles all lowered their noble heads. The poor people of the Gaoshan tribe were liberated from then on, and everyone went down the mountain and separated.

The fields, with houses, their own animals.

In recent years, the order of the upper and lower ranks of the Gaoshan tribe has been completely disrupted. Some of the hard-working people participated in the Anqing border army back then. With the battles in Anqing and Yizhou, a series of major wars were fought.

Many people have changed from soldiers to officers, and among them, the most outstanding ones are already qualified to sit in the tent of the generals' discussions. However, the original nobles can only guard the shared fields now.

Living the life of a farmer, they are not good at farming and can only live in vain.

Meng Yangao is an elephant slave, and he is a good player in training war elephants. After he was assigned to Meng Yao's Lucheng Camp, Meng Yao was so treasured. The elephant soldiers of the entire Gaoshan clan were beaten up by the Anqing border army back then.

Not many survived. Meng Yao jumped up and down, and through various relationships, he got more than a dozen elephants from the four western counties and handed them over to Meng Yangao, and told him that he only had to train war elephants, but also wanted to

Teach more people this skill, and each person will be promoted to him. Now, Meng Yangao has taught more than a dozen people to train war elephants. Six of them were brought from four western counties.

The head has become a qualified war elephant and can step onto the battlefield. More than one, injured during training or wild and difficult to tame, has become a delicacy in the belly of the soldiers of Lucheng Camp.

This time, Meng Yangao, who had been promoted to the commander of Zhiguo, led his six battle elephants and dozens of soldiers to rush to the front of the team, and their target was Chess Grotto.

The elephant soldiers in Lucheng Camp are not as shabby as the elephant soldiers of the Gaoshan tribe. The huge body of the war elephant was covered with iron armor. On the back of the elephant, a custom-made one for them can be equipped with several names.

A soldier's platform was equipped with a crossbow on it. In order to prevent the opponent from driving away the elephant with fire, Meng Yao even installed a special armor on the elephant's head. If necessary, the two armors on it

It lifted it down and just blocked the elephant's eyes, so that the elephant's advance could only be controlled by the soldiers on the back of the war elephant.

Although there are only a mere six battle elephants now, Meng Yangao is convinced that the combat power of these six heads is at least twice or even twice as many as before.

Meng Yangao's heart was full of high fighting spirit. The above is the Zhenwu Captain, and the further up is the guerrilla general. He was only twenty years old. He worked hard for a few years, and he might become the first civilian.

The Gaoshan tribe, who was born in the North Army, would have corresponding rewards and promotions as long as they made contributions in the Northern Army and would never be erased. He just trained the elephant soldiers and was promoted to the Zhiguo Captain.

It is easy to make contributions on the battlefield and upgrade to another level.

Unfortunately, his more than 100 people met this army to attack Qipangou on the way, and even more unfortunately, when Juan found that his opponent had surrounded him in several places, he had no choice.
