Cars rattled, horses rustled, and pedestrians carried bows and arrows at their waists.
Ye Niang and his wife walked off to see each other off, but Xianyang Bridge was nowhere to be seen.
In Yongzhou, there is no scene of people holding their clothes and stamping their feet blocking the road to cry, let alone crying rising to the sky.
The eyes of the common people who watched the mighty guards set off were all fiery. They believed that their army would be able to win the Northern Expedition against the Huns.
An Pinbai's brother-in-law Jiang Yunsheng and the officials and people of Jing'an City were waiting by the road with strong drinks in hand to see off the army.
After Lin Zhenyuan led his army, Jiang Yunsheng raised the liquor above his head and toasted loudly: "I wish the general a great victory!"
Lin Zhenyuan also picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp, while the soldiers behind him also picked up a bowl of turbid wine brought by the people and drank it down.
Lin Zhenyuan smashed the empty bowl on the ground and shouted proudly: "Yongzhou Wansheng, the commander Wansheng!"
The two hundred thousand mighty guards instantly burst into angry shouts: "Yongzhou is victorious, the commander is victorious!"
"Yongzhou is victorious, the commander is victorious!"
"Yongzhou is victorious, the commander is victorious!"
...
The sound lasted for a long time, like thunder vibrating.
In the second year of Emperor Chen Li Rui's reign, Zhou Yi, the prefect of Yongzhou and general Tiance, sent General Lin Zhenyuan to lead an army of 200,000 mighty guards out of Wuwei Pass to attack the Huns in the north. He also mobilized 300,000 civilians and auxiliary troops in Yongzhou to escort grain, grass and baggage to the front line.
General Lin Zhenyuan left 50,000 troops stationed at Wuwei Pass and a section of the Great Wall a hundred miles away from Wuwei Pass. In addition, Lin Zhenyuan divided his troops into three groups. One group led by An Pinbai led 30,000 troops to the Tuxin Shang Valley, and the other group led Deng Tong led 20,000 elite troops to take Yuyang directly.
Lin Zhenyuan himself led the main army to attack Youbeiping in a mighty manner, facing off against the 100,000-strong army of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu.
Chi Jingde and his friend Shi Wentai marched to Youbeiping with the main army.
The recapture of Youbeiping was extremely smooth. The small tribes that fought in the blitzkrieg mode did not dare to show their heads. This time they even ran away after seeing Lin Zhenyuan's flag again.
Youbeiping was captured easily.
After entering the city, Lin Zhenyuan was about to rise to the banner of Zhou Yi.
After seeing the banner of Zhouyi raised, all the soldiers in the army thought that their invincible General Tiance had also arrived in Youbeiping City.
For this reason, the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted again. At this moment, each of the 100,000 mighty guards were eager to attack the Huns immediately and show the commander how brave they were.
However, after occupying Youbeiping, Shanggu, and Yuyang, Lin Zhenyuan ordered the reinforcement of city defenses.
This made the soldiers who were pushed all the way by the mighty guards very puzzled, but the military orders were like mountains, so the soldiers could only hold back their anger in their hearts and wait until the next day to vent their anger in the battle with the Huns.
During the period of strengthening the city defense, Chi Jingde and Shi Wentai never saw Tiance General Zhou Yi. They only saw the military flag with the word "zhou" written on it and embroidered with a sickle and hammer head fluttering in the wind. This made Chi Jingde and Shi Wentai couldn't help but have doubts.
Chi Jingde and Shi Wentai went to the battalion commander of the Huotou Army, Deng Ponu, and inquired: "Batalion Commander, what does our commander look like! He has been here for so long, why have we never seen him show his face?" It’s time to meet!”
Deng Ponu, who knew the truth, laughed and said: "Who told you that the commander-in-chief is among our army? The commander-in-chief's banner is just a tactic to make the Huns' enemies paralyzed."
When Chi Jingde and Shi Wentai heard this, they immediately became energetic and asked quickly: "Battle Commander Deng, where is our commander now?"
Deng Ponu rolled his eyes at the two of them and said, "Don't say I don't know. Even if I know, you are not supposed to know this."
Chi Jingde curled his lips and said, "So you don't know it yourself, battalion commander!"
"Our general is like a god with his troops. Don't tell me that I don't know where our general is now. Even our General Lin can't guess where the general is leading his troops!"
Shi Wentai finally asked curiously: "Battle Commander Deng, what does our commander look like?"
Deng Ponu looked up at the sky, recalling the man who had forgiven him the crime of death, and said meaningfully: "He looks like a man from heaven!"
When Chi Jingde and Shi Wentai heard this, they had a strange admiration for Zhou Yi.
Not only Deng Ponu and the others didn't know where Zhou Yi's troops were now, but even the general Lin Zhenyuan looked at the big map and didn't know where his commander was now.
Zhou Yi had greeted Lin Zhenyuan when he went to Liangzhou. This time, the 200,000 mighty guards led by Lin Zhenyuan were mainly used to contain the main force of the Huns on the eastern battlefield as a feint attack.
This time, Zhou Yi and Wang Dachui led 100,000 cavalry on the West Road, taking advantage of the Western Regions, preparing to cross Mobei and go straight to the rear of the Xiongnu Royal Court. At that time, Zhou Yi and Wang Dachui were going to give Karasuma Chanyu a real plowing hole.
It had been half a month since the troops were dispatched. The Huns adopted an evasive strategy against Lin Zhenyuan's attack because their horses had experienced a cold winter and were very thin.
Yuyang, Shanggu, and Youbeiping were recovered with little effort by the Chen soldiers. But the lack of news about the coach made Lin Zhenyuan extremely anxious.
"Political Commissar Wu, has the messenger sent any news from the commander-in-chief?"
Wu Laoliu shook his head and said that he had not received any news.
Lin Zhenyuan stared at the map in front of him in silence and said: "In that case, starting from tomorrow, we will launch a fierce attack on the Huns and try to attract the Huns' attention to our western front."
Zhou Yi and Wang Dachui also left Liangzhou at night with 100,000 cavalry wearing black mountain armor more than a month ago before the ice and snow melted completely.
When the first ray of morning sunlight shines down, the five stars, Suixing, Yinghuoxing, Chuanxing, Taibaixing and Chenxing, all gather in the north.
After these soldiers who were traveling all night saw this celestial spectacle, the army of 100,000 people all stopped to watch.
At this time, a soldier suddenly remembered something. He opened the brocade armband that the commander-in-chief had given to all the cavalry before the expedition, and found that it read: Five stars come out of the east, benefit China, kill the northern barbarians, and conquer all barbarians. Shanyu descends, and the sky is infinite.
Soon, other soldiers also noticed this situation, and they all took out their arm guards and compared them with the celestial phenomena in the sky.
When the one hundred thousand soldiers saw this, they all felt that their commander was a god and a saint, and he could even predict and know the future.
Zhou Yi himself didn't expect that he just wanted to seek good luck at first, and he never thought that he would actually encounter the wonder of five stars emerging from the east on this day.
At this time, Wang Dachui hit another target and shouted in a shocking voice: "When the sun rises in the east, I am the only one who is undefeated!"
For a moment, Zhou Yi and countless soldiers looked at Wang Dachui in confusion.
"What's wrong, Brother Yi! Isn't the sun rising?"
Zhou Yi had no choice but to wave his arms and shouted: "When the sun rises in the east, I am the only one who is undefeated!"
The next second, all the soldiers in the army burst into the same shouts.
The undefeated voice continues to echo in the wilderness.
