As the depth of winter approaches, patches of snowflakes begin to fall in many desolate places on the border of Liangzhou.
A middle-aged general, riding on a horse, looked up at the sky in silence.
His name is Dong Yuan. After the changes in Liangzhou, he was the first of his clan to surrender to Dong Wen, and he was therefore reused.
With San Zhang's death in battle, he has become the number one general in Liangzhou during this period of time. After receiving Dong Wen's secret order, he couldn't wait.
"Eight thousand fine knights!"
Behind Dong Yuan, more than 8,000 yellow-armored cavalrymen slowly appeared behind Dong Yuan, their horse hooves stepping on the wind and sand. These eight thousand people not only carried carbines, but also carried long knives at their waists and three black short-throwing guns on their backs.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this elite cavalry is the strongest elite in Liangzhou. When Dong Wen attacked Anbin, he made many military exploits.
"My lord has ordered us to kill the west gate of Lucheng, which is twenty miles away! With this, we will let the children of Shuzhou see the majesty of my Liang people!"
"March with me!" Dong Yuan raised his arms and roared endlessly.
Their first mission was to respond to Military Advisor Sima Xiu. It's a pity that their military advisor will stay in Shuzhou forever.
…
Wei Feng, who was more than ten miles outside Lucheng with five thousand light cavalry, followed Xu Mu's instructions and did not help defend the city. Instead, follow the outside of Lucheng and pay attention to the enemy troops on the grain interception road.
As winter approaches, Xu Mu has no choice but to relocate the people in Lucheng. But no matter what, Lucheng cannot become an isolated city, and the passage connecting Shuzhou must eventually leave a way out.
"My lord has something to say. I will wait outside Lucheng, so I can act accordingly." Wei Feng stopped his horse, turned around, and looked at the thousands of Shu riders following behind.
Every rider was wrapped in thick shirts to resist the increasingly cold weather. There was no trembling, only the spear in his hand was held tightly.
During these many days, they stayed outside the city and killed several groups of Liang troops who intercepted the grain road. Wei Feng's words were not wrong. Xu Mu's intention was to let them act according to the opportunity outside the city.
But if Wei Feng encounters Liang Gou Jie Liang Dao and becomes angry, he will lead his men to attack him in several waves. His temperament has always been like this. He is a war-fighting soldier who will fight to the death if he doesn't obey.
"Weitou, Liang Gou besieged the city and beat them very fiercely."
"The military advisor killed Sima Fox, so my lord defeated that crybaby in Lucheng. To tell you the truth, I followed the military advisor to Liang. As soon as I met this crybaby, he hugged the military advisor and cried. Who would have thought that it was a Unfamiliar wolf cubs.”
"Weitou, what I mean is, do you want to go back to Lucheng to help?"
"I won't go back." Wei Feng shook his head, "If the lord is interested, there will be chaos. Again, I will wait for these people and act according to the opportunity outside the city-"
Before Wei Feng could finish his words, suddenly, numerous people on horseback came hurriedly from the front.
"General Wei, there is a yellow-armored enemy cavalry ahead, charging towards Lucheng!"
"Huang Jia? Liang Qi! How many people are there?"
"The fog has lifted up the sand, so I can't tell clearly. But listening to the sound of hooves, I can tell there are many people there."
"General Wei, could it be that he intercepted the grain road again?"
"The people in the Jieliang Taoist sect are all Xiqiang dogs. There is something wrong with this."
Wei Feng raised his head and looked into the winter sky. The clouds were low and the whole world was gray. It was very similar to the thick fog in Wangzhou that year when Beidi people besieged the city.
Many people died in the battle to guard Wangzhou. Even General Feng Qiu died for his country. After the war, with trembling hands, he crossed out each name in the military registration book.
Every name is like his brother, who will eventually go away and never come back.
"Weitou, what should we do?"
"This Liangqi must be coming for reinforcements. Come with me to take a look first."
…
"The war in Lucheng is tense, and the lord must have taken measures to contain it. Therefore, he sent us and other elite cavalry to attack at the west gate of Lucheng."
Dong Yuan narrowed his eyes, with a look of longing on his thin face. As long as he achieves more military exploits, his position as the chief general of Liangzhou will be secure.
Coupled with his status as a member of the Dong family, I am afraid that in the future, when Dong Wen becomes popular, he will be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister.
"It was getting dark, so he ran two miles outside Lucheng. He abandoned his horse and used a rope to throw a spear, and made a surprise attack on the west gate of Lucheng! The civilian thieves never expected that in the current stalemate war, there would be this soldier like me waiting for him. State elite!”
"I just want to break open Lucheng, kill the civilian thieves alive, and avenge Sima's military advisor!"
"I, Liangzhou's eight thousand elite men, are going to show off their might tonight."
As soon as the sky passed dusk, the cold wind became more and more freezing. Dong Yuan wrapped his robe and armor around his body, his eyes full of coldness.
He picked up the reins of the armored horse, raised the spear in his hand, and led the men roaring forward.
The fighting in Lucheng ahead did not stop. The torch-bearing night battle could still be vaguely audible, with screams and fighting coming from the area.
"General, we are almost at the west gate."
"Okay! Prepare for a surprise attack."
Under the cover of darkness, Lucheng was again restrained by an attacking army, which seemed to be the best opportunity. But Dong Yuan didn't know that at this moment, not far from them, there were also people staring at them under the cover of night.
…
Fearing that the horse's hooves might alert the enemy, Wei Feng was careful not to move too far forward. To the left and right, the cavalry charge would arrive in an instant if it was not too far away.
"Weitou, you are amazing, you are amazing! These cold dogs are really going to attack the city. Now they are ready to abandon their horses and use infantry instead!"
"Don't forget, I was named and praised by the lord in the general hall." Wei Feng only laughed, and his face regained his composure.
After Feng Qiu's death, he was the main military force in Xujiazhuang for a long time. When old bandits rebelled against the army or something, he led the Qinglong Battalion of 400 people to fight from the beginning of the village to the end of the village.
He is not as good as a cavalry warrior like Chao Yi, but no matter what, he still has his own way of exploring. If not, Xu Mu would not have retained him as the leader of the cavalry camp.
"Weitou, it's time!"
Wei Feng's face was full of fighting spirit, and he suddenly raised the spear in his hand.
"Ping Qiang, tell the Liang Gou in front that there are not many racecourses in Shuzhou, but my Shu riders can still pop Liang Gou's balls!"
"Charge and kill me!"
"Roar!"
The five thousand Shu cavalry no longer had any scruples, let go of their speed, and ran wildly on the sand in a show of force. They all raised their spears and rushed towards the Liang cavalry who was picking at the ropes to attack the city.
Dong Yuan, who was picking up his bow, could only hear the sound of horse's hooves shaking the ground, and was momentarily dazed. But soon, he reacted quickly.
"Quick, mount your horse first, lest there be an enemy attack!"
It has to be said that Dong Yuan's reaction was fast enough. But Shu Qi, who was charging towards them, was faster.
Even though the horses' hooves were shaking, the leader Wei Feng's high-octave curses still exploded in the night.
"The eggless dog man from Liangzhou knows Wei Feng from Baizhou! The gun in my hand will shatter your mouth full of dog teeth!"
"Shu Qi Ping Qian——"
After Wei Feng, thousands of furious Shu cavalry roared and pointed their spears into the Liang army that was caught off guard.
