Everyone in the world knows that there are five thousand Qingqi in Lijun. They have been personally controlled by the prefects of Lijun in the past. They are the elite of Lijun's 300,000 troops. Now, these five thousand Qingqi from Lijun are under the leadership of my young prefect. Going north, up and south, the troops conquered everything they pointed at, and their prestige became more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But not many people know that Yongchang County also has five thousand elite cavalry, because the elite among Yongchang County’s elites are never cavalry, but a nearly ten thousand heavy armored infantry hidden deep in Yicheng. It is said to be able to shake mountains and rivers, named Shake Mountain army.
The Shanshan Army is not well-known in Zhongzhou, because most of the time it is just a silent army hidden in Yicheng by successive Yongchang County governors. In the hundreds of years of the army's founding history, it has only taken action three times, all of which appeared in the old and new At the time of the change of governors, the rebels who were opponents of this army, whether they were the Yicheng defenders or the elites of southern Xinjiang, were all beaten to death on the battlefield. In the end, no trace of their armor was left, and together with their former numbers, they disappeared forever in the history of Yongchang County. .
Therefore, within Yongchang County, the name of this Shanshan Army is even more important than that of Lijun Qingqi.
Therefore, when it was known that the Grand Administrator would command one hundred thousand troops to make the Northern Expedition, and that this mountain-shaking army of ten thousand people would also follow the Chinese army to the north, most of the haze that once shrouded Yicheng dissipated.
Because as long as this steel pagoda appears on the battlefield, even if it faces Shangli County Qingqi, it will still be able to fight. Coupled with the military advantage that is twice that of the opponent, and the majestic momentum of the prefect's personal expedition, even if they still cannot recapture the Three Cang Palace in the end. Earth will never let the war continue to burn south to Yicheng.
Starting from Yicheng, flags were flying, and the army was like ants, stretching for more than ten miles, beyond the distance that everyone above and below the city could see, filling their panic-stricken hearts.
After marching tens of miles northwest, the army was divided into three places. One went north to Xingcheng, and the other went west to Shoutong. The Chinese army with the golden flag and the Shanshan Army headed straight to Zhengcang. Go to the location between Tongcang City! !
The army marched, smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, swords and spears were like leaves, and spears were like forests. Wherever they passed, all the people retreated.
Under the golden flag at the core of the Chinese army is a huge golden carriage with a slightly exaggerated shape. The carriage is pulled by six horses, and there are four drivers alone. These four people all have stern expressions and sit like bends. With the bow, you can tell he is a master at first glance.
The army within a few feet of the golden carriage gave way, and only one person was riding a horse walking in front of the window. It was Meng Sanshu, the scholar who had recently gained the favor of Meng Xiaotian, the prefect of Yongchang County, who had walked from the dark to the light and boarded the court. He only saw a slight smile on his face. Bent over, he carefully pulled the reins with one hand, and put the other hand to his mouth and couldn't help breathing. He was obviously very cold.
The car curtain opened, and Meng Xiaotian glanced at the thin scholar with a hunched body. He couldn't help lowering the corners of his mouth, but he didn't say much. He just looked to the distant northwest. From his sight, he couldn't see the smoke of the city. All he could see was the majestic back of the Mountain Shaking Army, which was as dark as a city wall. "Is there any action on the part of Zhao Wuji's army?"
The scholar immediately straightened up after hearing this and replied, "Reporting to the Grand Administrator, the scouts came to report earlier that an elite force of nearly ten thousand people was separated from the army of Lijun in Tongcang City and moved eastward. General Meng deduced that they would be stationed in the pavilion. Guan Yi rejects our army."
Meng Xiaotian laughed loudly, pointed in the direction of the Shanshan Army and said, "It's just a mere ten thousand troops and a mere pavilion. It's too ridiculous for Zhao Wuji and the Luo family boy to want to block the northern expedition of my forty thousand army." Some!" He thought for a while and asked, "Where is Lijun Qingqi?"
"They should still be in Zhengcang City," the scholar responded and persuaded in a low voice, "Master Taishou, there is no guarantee that these ten thousand soldiers and horses are not Zhao Wuji's suspicious tactics. The road the Chinese army is traveling is too open and flat, and there are no big cities during this period. But if you can defend it, why don't we follow the advice of General Sun Miaosun and surround the warehouse and attack..."
Before the scholar could finish his words, he was interrupted by Meng Xiaotian with a wave of his hand, "I have said this many times. Tongcang cannot be besieged for a long time. Now the Shangyuan Mountain Pass is completely under the control of Lijun. Once Tongcang City is besieged, Lijun's army can continuously support from the Shangyuan Pass. Who will surround whom?!" He snorted coldly, "Zhengcang is different. It hangs alone outside. As long as our army breaks through Tingguan Pass quickly, we can We can quickly cut off the connection between Zhao Wuji's Tongcang army and Zhengcang City. We will then join forces with the Northern Army at the foot of Zhengcang City. With only 10,000 Lijun garrison troops in Zhengcang City, the city can be conquered in an instant! As long as I recapture Zhengcang City, we can Let it be connected with Xingcheng, and add Shou Tong's army to surround Tongcang from three sides, and then we can have a showdown with Zhao Wuji under Tongcang City!"
"Master Taishou, could it be that..." the scholar gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, "I have never thought of recapturing Tongcang City...?!"
"Unbridled!!" Meng Xiaotian suddenly shouted angrily, attracting the four grooms to look at him. After he breathed heavily for a few times, he slowly calmed down, looked sideways at the scholar who was dripping with cold sweat in the winter and said coldly, " If the news from our people who stayed with Zhao Wuji is correct, that bitch Han Feng really surrendered to the Luo family. Now, the Luo family has more than 300,000 troops. What do you want me to do? ......snort!!"
"But Lord Prefect, Shouting is different from Xingcheng. There is no danger at all. If we cannot recapture Tongcang City, Shouting alone will not be able to stop Li Ren's ambition. Even if Li Ren is unable to go south this winter and next spring, he can What about next fall?!" The scholar's face was full of sincerity, and his eyes were already red, "Master Taishou, after Shoutong, there is a flat river. Once the city is defeated, the next one will be... Yicheng!!"
"How to break it?" Meng Xiaotian's expression was full of stern expression, and he was extremely angry. With his status and authority in Yongchang County, how had he ever been questioned to this extent? It’s all because Meng Zian lost the Three Cang Land! !
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. A pair of big hands almost smashed the car curtain, "According to the news that person sent back, the defenders of Zhengcang City were ten thousand, and the defenders of Tongcang City and Zhao Wuji's army totaled thirty thousand. Now we have divided the troops into ten thousand to block it." We have a central army, but a mere 20,000 troops and horses cannot come out in full force. I sent more than 20,000 troops to Shouting. Even if these people stand there and let them cut them, they can still hold on until the moment when my army comes to help. Tell me. "How can Li Ren break my longevity?!" He let out a heavy snort and lowered the car curtain, "As long as our Northern Expedition army retakes Zhengcang City this time, the Shanshan Army will be known to the world in one battle, with the blood and head of Li Ren. When he returned, he stationed his army in Shouting. As time goes by, even a piece of wasteland should be transformed into the Great Wall!!"
Meng Xiaotian's low and sullen voice still came from the carriage, "Sanshu, why do you think that rat Han Feng surrendered to Li Ren? Are you really scared out of your wits by Zhao Wuji's tens of thousands of troops? No, no! Yes! The 300,000 Liren army that has not yet emerged from the mountains... I just want a small 'quick victory', that's all. This winter will be enough. Next spring..." His voice became hoarse and even a little sharp, "Only the Nanyi... can swallow up this 300,000-strong army. Only the Nanyi...! !”
The scholar was speechless. He just slowly raised his head to look at the gloomy sky and exhaled a very light and very long breath.
Like an endless sigh...
