The palace hall.
Qi Xingyun was reading the memorial, while Zhang Tingyu was waiting aside.
"Master Zhang, General Luo Fengtang, are you still in your hometown? Is the Tongtianhe National Protector Army led by General Jiang?" Qi Xingyun read a battle report of the Tongtianhe National Protector Army. It is already winter, so it stands to reason , both sides will have a truce to wait for the coming year.
But Luo Fengtang was not in the army, so he always felt a little uneasy.
But he couldn't give the order to let Luo Fengtang return to the army directly.
"Your Majesty, General Jiang Wulang left the capital some time ago and went to Tongtian River. He has temporarily taken over the National Defense Army. Even without General Luo, there should not be much problem." Zhang Tingyu said.
Qi Xingyun raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "The biggest problem with Jiang Wulang is that he likes to rush into battle. As a general who controls the overall situation, how can he personally take risks? This is what worries me."
At this point, Zhang Tingyu couldn't be sure.
"Your Majesty, I will send a message to the National Defense Army to advise General Jiang to act with caution."
"Okay, Bachelor Zhang, it would be more prudent for you to issue the document in the name of the cabinet."
Qi Xingyun was worried that sending it in the name of the imperial edict would delay the war effort, so it would be more appropriate to send it in the name of the cabinet.
…
Lin'an City.
Tongtianhe is one of the frontier cities of the Han army.
The defender of the city was Fei Xingwei. He was once an official of Da Qi. Later, after the rise of the Qin and Han Dynasties, he took advantage of the situation and defected to the Han army. He was considered a well-known second minister.
At this time, Fei Xingwei suddenly woke up, his right eye twitching wildly, which was a sign of disaster.
He looked at the sun. It was only early in the morning, and the ice and snow outside had not yet melted. It was impossible for Qi soldiers to attack!
As soon as he put on his clothes, he saw the generals guarding the city rushing into his house frantically, shouting loudly: "Qi Bing! Qi Bing's reconnaissance cavalry is coming to the south hill of Lin'an City!"
"What! How many people!"
The armor Fei Xingwei just picked up fell to the ground with a crash.
He grabbed the messenger in horror and said in disbelief: "Have you received any military reports from Lin Hancheng? Are there any signs of Qi people deploying troops on a large scale?!"
The messenger wiped his sweat and said: "We have received no information from the enemy, so we are so panicked! There are probably hundreds of cavalry, without any disguise or any cover-up, looking at Lin'an City in the east, Dutong, how about this?" Is good?"
Fei Xingwei grabbed the armor on the ground and said, "Let's go and have a look."
Jiang Wulang held a telescope in his hand and carefully observed the defense of Lin'an City. He frowned and said, "This city defense feels a bit like the Qi army. Isn't Qin Bangchao, the adopted son of Qin Hanqing, stationed in Lin'an City?"
"Could it be that the traitor has something hidden?"
He Anyi, one of the commanders of the National Protective Army, called an inspector from the National Protective Army. After asking for a long time, he said, "It's Fei Xingwei. He used to be the prefect of Linzhou. Later, he defected to the rebellious eldest prince. The eldest prince fell. Later, he took refuge with the rebels."
"Fei Xingwei? Such treacherous people are really bringing disaster to the country and the people." Jiang Wulang nodded. The various defensive tactics and city defense fortifications in this city did not look like tricks that rebels could pull off.
"Lin'an City is not easy to fight. The south side is very heavily guarded. The north wall is built against the mountains and the defenses are relatively weak. However, it is difficult to cross the mountains to attack the north side. We need to think of a way. The Qi people will betray General Fei Xingwei and deserve death. .”
"Is that where we went to Anyi Mansion?" Jiang Wulang asked, pointing to an ice field in the distance.
He Anyi looked at it, took out a telescope and looked at it for a long time, and said, "According to General Luo, that's where you can go directly to Anyi Mansion."
Jiang Wulang smiled and said: "Anyi Prefecture was once a big city to the east of Daqi, but now it has become the capital of the rebels. One day, it will be great if we can capture Anyi Prefecture. What a great achievement."
He Anyi said with a smile: "Anyi Mansion will be ours sooner or later, as long as we persist."
Jiang Wulang saw Lin'an City in the morning light. A group of about 300 cavalrymen came out of the city. He smiled and said: "The enemy actually came out of the city and wanted to destroy us. We only have 120 people. Do we have the confidence to defeat them?" ?”
Jiang Wulang's words caused the soldiers to whisper. Jiang Wulang smiled and said: "If you are timid, stay and watch the horses. We will go meet them for a while. Bring me my Huanghuali long bow."
Jiang Wulang stepped out with his horses, and the soldiers all took out a long bow, which was a recurve bow.
The recurve bow was made by the Beijing Science and Technology Garden. Both in terms of range and accuracy, it was stronger than ordinary bows and arrows.
The Science and Technology Garden was nominally owned by the imperial court, but in fact it was still controlled by Yang Ruoqing.
If there is a good thing, of course the first one is to arm her husband's national defense army. Yang Ruoqing has always been stingy in this regard and has never been selfless.
When Lin An's cavalry approached, Jiang Wulang and one hundred and twenty soldiers of the national defense army set up their bows and shot arrows.
The arrow carried the sound of piercing wind, streaked through the golden spring morning light, and landed in the enemy's formation, splashing with snowflakes.
The cavalrymen coming out of Lin'an City were instantly confused. If someone fell off a horse, some horses would naturally choose to go around it. The formation of these three hundred people was disrupted.
It was entirely because the power and range of the Huanghuali long bow exceeded the imagination of the Han army!
And this weapon, which was beyond their knowledge, completely disrupted the pace of their attack.
"Fight!" Jiang Wulang shouted. After the soldiers fired another wave of arrows, they raised their spears and the horses began to step slowly down the hillside and rushed towards the soldiers coming out of Lin'an City.
The spear was held in front, and the sound of horse hooves resounded neatly and orderly through the Nangang. The cavalry rushed down like a rushing river, hitting the Han army's cavalry camp that had been disrupted.
Flowing clouds and flowing water.
The performance of the Han army was excellent enough. They fired the arrows in their hands, but unfortunately the power of the bows and arrows was not enough to penetrate the double-layer cold-forged armor.
The impact of Jiang Wulang's personal guard army directly destroyed all the formations of the 300-man team.
In just two cups of tea, no one of the three hundred Han cavalry could stand.
"The strength is a bit weak. It doesn't look like the Han army of Qin and Han Dynasty at all." Jiang Wulang kept piercing Dun Xiang with the spear in his hand, and hit all the Han troops who were dying.
He An Yi smiled and said: "We have been fighting for so long. The veterans of the Han army who have fought hundreds of battles are dead and disabled. Those who are still alive will not be sent here. In this Lin'an city, these faces are all slightly... He is so immature that he may have been sent to the front line just after being trained."
Jiang Wulang nodded, took off his mask, and said with a smile: "Cut your ears, briefly clean the battlefield, and then we can climb over the mountain!"
Jiang Wulang's spear pointed at the mountain to the north of Lin'an City. He wanted to see for himself whether it was possible to attack the city from the north.
He Anyi reined in the horse and said, "Where to go?"
Jiang Wulang smiled and said, "Go and have a look nearby."
