In the middle of April in Xuanhe, Wei Lang set up a big camp in Shahe, 30 miles away from the Yellow River. The party members were shocked, and Yeli sent spies there. They saw the banners in the camp, and the soldiers coming and going kept coming and going. The tents stretched for ten miles. From this, it can be judged that the Ling family has at least 200,000 troops gathering.
Dangxiang began to urgently deploy troops. The tribes that had been defending in the Shahe area went to station on the Yellow River, and mobilized the garrison from Xiping Mansion in Shunzhou to support Shahe.
Two days after Xiping Mansion's reinforcements left the city, they encountered He Li's ambush army at Wulipo, and fifty thousand elite troops were wiped out. After He Li joined forces with Du Ming's Yanzhou army, they captured Xiping Mansion with lightning speed. It is only more than a hundred miles away from Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the party, across the river.
Looking at the endless army stretching down the hillside, Alan said to Ling Qingyu: "Girl, there are many people below."
One hundred thousand cavalry, seventy thousand infantry, and tens of thousands of migrant labor support troops. Although they couldn't see them, they could imagine the grand occasion just by listening to the sound, the hustle and bustle.
"Boss, where are we going?" He Dongping looked back at the hillside when he heard the guards around him ask, he tapped his horse's belly, and said: "Just listen to the general, what are you talking about?"
"No, I think we are taking a different route from others." The personal guard moved closer and said, "I said boss, it's time for us to go to Lie Lei Camp this time, right?"
He Dongping looked at an army turning north, then grinned, and said, "We have a heavy mission this time, don't underestimate it."
Now Shahe and Helan's Dangxiang army are probably rushing this way. He Dongping looked back at the He character banner behind him. Once Shahe's army leaves, Wei Lang will lead 50,000 troops to cross the river directly and head north. Under the leadership of Gu Cheng, the Gale Camp will cross the river from the most gentle ferry downstream.
And here, the headquarters army led by He Li himself will face a tough battle with the main force of the party.
However, He Li didn't even send Ling Qingyu away, so this battle must be won.
The corner of He Dongping's mouth cracked, and he laughed. The three boys in the family cost a lot of money to raise, but they need to earn more military exploits and get some rewards.
"Shahe came to reinforce more than 200,000 troops, and 30,000 iron kites from Xingqing Mansion stood guard on the other side. There were also 100,000 captured troops and 50,000 Han troops." Du Ming looked at the teams of red armor. The cavalry galloped past, said.
"Pass the order, the lord has an order, win the Xingqing mansion, all rewards will be doubled." He Li's voice was not loud, but it excited the soldiers next to him, and then passed on the order one after another.
"Brother Li," Du Ming looked around, approached his horse, and asked in a low voice, "Is that true?"
He Li glanced at him, and then smiled. Du Ming straightened up straight, Ling Qingyu would not say such a thing, but just handed over all the rights to this battle to He Li, including all the supplies gathered later Transfer of money.
What the military commander fears most is disadvantageous logistics and being controlled by others. One of the reasons why He Li's battle can be fought so beautifully is that Ling Qingyu fully delegated power.
"Du Ming, your wife is not bad." He Li said with a smile after glancing at the vigorous and energetic female soldiers in the logistics army.
"That's right, it doesn't matter who picks it." Du Ming's mouth curled up, his face full of pride.
"Nianyuan wrote a letter. His wife has given birth to a son and wants to marry your daughter. Why, you don't agree?" The red-armored cavalry galloping past greeted him one after another. laughed.
"It's my family who said, who knows what my daughter likes when she grows up, she will decide now, I'm afraid it won't work." Du Ming laughed. Fang Nianyuan married the daughter of a wealthy local family on Guangnan Road, Gu Cheng married the daughter of a squire in Taiyuan, Guan Xiao married the daughter of an iron household, Meng Su identified Ling Qingyu, so what about He Li and Gao Liu? He Li is older than them all, and he is already twenty-eight this year. Could it be because of that hidden disease
"Free love..." He Li smiled unconsciously. The word "free love" came from Ling Qingyu. Ever since she created the Women's Liberation League, it has become the most popular word in Dai County. It is even more so in the northwest, and the mother of the northwest They were always fierce and enthusiastic, and now there are many girls who don't want a matchmaker, and they all confess to a man when they fancy a man.
"That's right, we are working so hard because we want them to live happily." Du Ming said with a smile. He is also his daughter-in-law, so he doesn't dislike this very much.
Descendants..., He Li smiled slightly and signaled to those cavalrymen who rushed over with shouts, feeling a little sad in her heart, if she could have a child, she would have something to think about and look forward to in the days to come.
"Brother Li, can't even a genius doctor cure it? Why don't you try it first? Maybe it will work if there is a woman around? Or, my daughter-in-law's cousin is good." Du Ming couldn't help but say.
He Li was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Du Ming amusedly, also, Du Ming has been in the northwest all the time, so it's not surprising that he didn't know.
Patting him on the shoulder, seeing Du Ming grinning in pain, He Li said softly: "I'm in good health, we, but I have a master, if you recommend someone to me like this, I'm afraid someone will trouble you .”
"Who!?" Du Ming asked in surprise, rubbing his shoulders and widening his eyes.
He Li smiled, and rode his horse to meet Ling Qingyu and his party who were coming down the hillside.
No way! Du Ming groaned in his heart.
On the prairie in April, the night sky is like washing with water, the curtain of stars hangs down, and the moonlight is clear, casting a faint brilliance like mist on the prairie.
Ye Shiyi picked up the full water bag, found Meng Su who was sleeping in the grass with his arms under his head, sat beside him and asked, "Brother Meng, can you eat?"
Meng Su sat up, took the cake and water bag from his hand, took a bite of the cake and said, "Don't sleep well? Get a good rest tonight. We won't have time to rest from tomorrow morning."
Ye Shixi smiled and said, "I'm fine, but you, how are you hurt?"
Meng Su touched his lower back, his mouth cracked in pain, and then he smiled and said, "It's okay, it didn't hurt the vitals." That knife was a desperate knife by the guard of Heishui City, and he was caught off guard. Fortunately, he didn't hurt his kidney.
Ye Shishi's eyes darkened slightly. At that time, he was only focused on finding revenge for Lin Yiyi and Alina, and chased them out from the main city where the fight was fiercest. After a few nights, he also chased them out. Otherwise, Meng Su also He wouldn't face the defender of Heishui City alone, he was injured so badly, and he led the team straight across from the Mobei Grassland without stopping...
"Okay, I'm not that delicate." Meng Su patted him on the back with a smile, and said, "There are two possibilities for us to rush out like this, one is to meet the army returning from Shahe, and the other is to meet Congxing What do you think about the reinforcements from the Qing government?"
Ye Shiyi shook his head and said, "Shahe didn't come back so fast, reinforcements are more likely. The tribes of Dangxiang at the foot of Helan Mountain are all people and soldiers. Once the king of Dangxiang is recruited, they can mount their horses and fight immediately. They can fight at any time." Called hundreds of thousands of people."
"Really?" Meng Su drank water, put away his things, lay down again, looked at the starry sky and suddenly smiled, and said, "Eleventh, do you still remember what happened on the East African prairie?"
Ye Shiyi also lay down and said, "How could you forget?"
The starry sky was shining, the ground was shaken by running wild animals, and the grassland where he could do whatever he wanted, he even remembered the stories she told their children that night, the story of the stars that day.
"After the world is settled..." Meng Su closed his eyes and did not continue. After the world is settled, he must go there with her again.
Although Meng Su didn't say it, Ye Shiyi could guess what he wanted to say, and replied with a smile, "Yes, but before that, I'm afraid the master wants to go to Europa."
The corners of Meng Su's mouth turned up slightly, but he still closed his eyes and said, "Until then, we will win."
"Yes!"
In late April, Meng Su led 60,000 cavalry to rush out from the foot of Helan Mountain, intercepting and killing 50,000 reinforcements from Xingqing Mansion to Pingxi Mansion. In Qing Mansion, the men led by Meng Su disappeared from the battlefield. Two days later, the Dangxiang cavalry who had aided Pingxi Mansion from Shahe were ambushed by Meng Su in Guangwu. The defeated cavalry fled to the Mobei Grassland led by several tribal leaders. Yukouzimen met Ye Shiyi's 10,000 Rakshasa army, and all 40,000 routs were wiped out.
Meng Su chased after the momentum, and Wei Lang's troops flanked the infantry of the Shahe reinforcements at the front and back of Lugou Lake at the eastern foot of the Helan Mountains. The strong fighting spirit of the three victories killed Lugou Lake into a sea of blood, and 40,000 remnants of the party surrendered.
At the beginning of May, He Li's army crossed the river.
The rafts that Yang Zhao used in his surprise attack on Huizhou were still kept, and two thousand more rafts have been added in the past two years. With the 180,000 Dangxiang troops on the other side, Lie Leiying started to cross the river from the upper reaches. When the Dangxiang troops found something, 20,000 Lie Leiying camps and 20,000 Yanzhou troops led by Du Ming had already crossed the river.
"General, the opponent's camp is in chaos." The messenger soldier returned with excitement, and the generals around He Li looked at He Li excitedly, and the reward was doubled!
"Where is Liefeng Camp?" He Li asked, motionless like a green pine on a high rock, looking at the Yellow River in the distance.
"It's time for eternity."
The general next to him paved the ground with his horseshoes and snorted excitedly. He Li unconsciously glanced at him and said with a smile, "Are you in a hurry?"
"No hurry, no hurry," the general said with a simple and honest smile, "Isn't this family just married a daughter-in-law, and they are in a hurry to bring some gifts back home."
He Li pinched the horse's belly with his foot, let the black horse walk forward slowly, and said: "I want the former army to bring the Thunderbolt, and the archer will hit it. Let's cross the river."
"General, I will be the striker this time." Another general shouted.
The He character banner was unfurled fiercely, and He Li smiled and said, "Next time, not this time." You want to bring a gift for your wife, but my wife is still watching on it.
Ling Qingyu had just taken off her eyeband for a few days. Although her eyes were not very comfortable, she felt that her eyesight was much better than before. There were too many doubts in her heart, and she was unwilling and did not dare to ask the truth. For example, it was obviously bigger. The pupils are smaller, the eyesight is much better, and there is a figure looming in the darkness. The figure is so familiar that she stares at it for a long time before realizing that it is her own figure.
"It's time to cross the river!" Alan yelled to bring her back to her senses, and she looked at the riverside where the crowds were rushing, and saw He Li, who was leading the horse, was at the front under the big banner with the character "He" unfurled in the wind. the raft, unconsciously clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "Why is he the first to go up?"
"The former army led by General He." The Kang family replied from the side. This seems to be a tradition passed down from Yang Zhao, and the leading generals are always on the front line.
"It's too dangerous..." Sighed softly, seeing Ye Po standing beside He Li, Ling Qingyu let out another long breath, Ye Po was there...
"Why are you following me?" He Li glanced at Ye Po, there was no horse, and Ye Po, who was dressed in black, really didn't fit in with the armored cavalry on this ship.
"Master's order, so you can't die even if I die." Ye Po muffled back. Ling Qingyu's order was to pay attention to guarding against the assassination of those party members, but Ye Po knew that as the commander of the Ling family army, He Li's importance was self-evident, so he added the latter sentence himself.
Looking at Ye Ming Ye Ji Ye Su Ye Su Ye Shan and others who jumped onto the raft, He Li's expression darkened, and he said, "You are all here, what should the master do?"
"Ye Fei is here." After Ye Po said something, he gave him another sideways glance and said, "If you don't take the lead, we won't all come either."
"Nonsense! Go back!" He Li said angrily.
The few people didn't move, seeing that the soldiers behind had already started boarding the raft, it was not easy to drive them away, He Li said: "Go back one, tell Wang Zuo, send 3,000 people to guard the master."
Seeing Ye Po nodding, Ye Shan put his feet on the raft, pulled himself up, jumped back to the shore on the shoulders of the soldiers behind him, and then swept up the hill behind him.
Watching the rafts on the opposite bank go down the river one by one, and the red He character flag fluttered on the front raft, Li Yuancheng had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, why not? Is it still an old habit, always rushing to the front by myself, thinking that if I get some suspicious soldiers upstream, I will be deceived
"Archers!" Li Yuancheng raised his hand, and the messenger next to him passed on the word, and all the archers on the bank of the Yellow River entered the shooting state.
But the opponent's raft seemed to have hit a torrent, and it didn't come back in the middle of the river, but drifted downstream, just outside the range of their bows and arrows.
"Commander?" The deputy general looked at Li Yuancheng.
Is this trying to go ashore downstream? Seeing the speed of those rafts going down the river, Li Yuancheng frowned, and then said with a sneer: "Want to run? Chase!"
The lieutenant general got the order and led a battalion of cavalry to chase down along the river bank.
Seeing a group of cavalry from the other side chasing them down, He Li raised his chin and took a look, then took the bow and arrow from the guard behind him, opened the bow and set the arrow, and shot it.
The bow and arrow improved by Huang Jing had a longer range than other bows and arrows. He Li's arrow passed through the head of the lieutenant general with a sharp roar, making the lieutenant's face pale with fright.
If it was Yang Zhao or Meng Su, this arrow would kill the general, He Li rubbed his chin, smiled mischievously, and said to the guard behind him who is good at archery: "Xiaohu, give your general some face. "
As soon as Xiaohu raised his bow, he saw that the party members had already retreated hundreds of meters to the side, following them from a distance, and he smiled with white teeth, "General, you scared everyone away."
"Are you going to kill him?" Ye Ming rubbed his hands and asked excitedly, swimming from here, um, I'm still a little sure.
"No, I'm just teasing them." He Li replied seriously.
Seeing more and more rafts just drifting downstream along the river, Li Yuancheng's eyes started to burst into flames, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Go to the second battalion too!"
The cavalry by the river had left for three battalions, and the archers who had kept their bows stretched were all sore hands, one by one stealing glances at the leader, hoping to rest for a while. The other bank has been making preparations for crossing the river since early in the morning, so that they were driven to the bank to defend without breakfast. Now it's time for lunch, and they are really hungry!
"Get up!" Li Yuancheng frowned and looked over with a loud shout behind him. He saw a small correctional officer beating the archer who was sitting on the ground. They were all black archers, lined up in a row on the river, and Senhan's arrows shone coldly in the sun.
"They can't hold it." Before a rain of arrows shot over the river, Chen Rui said in a low voice, then turned his horse's head and left.
"Master Chen!" The minister of Dang Xiangguo shouted, Chen Rui turned his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I will go back and gather reinforcements to come to support."
"Shall we go there to gather reinforcements?" After galloping for a distance, the lieutenant asked.
"Mobilize your fart, run for your life, Li Yuancheng is not He Li's opponent at all!" Chen Rui said angrily, and then added a whip. First, they used the strategy of suspicious soldiers, and Li Yuancheng had to put up a defensive posture before dawn, consuming the physical strength of their soldiers, and then a small number of suspicious soldiers came from the upstream to let Li Yuancheng divide his troops to meet the enemy. Use it as bait to lure Li Yuancheng to divide his troops. Just watch, the main force of his headquarters will cross the river.
He Li... originally thought that if Yang Zhao died in Heishuiguan, there would be no good generals. The king wanted to help the party to restrain the Ling family, but I'm afraid it would be useless.
After chasing along the river bank for nearly twenty miles, he saw more and more cavalry from the headquarters behind him, and then looked at the leather rafts floating on the river, the lieutenant felt uneasy. There were mountains ahead, and the Yellow River narrowed. , but it will also make a big circle, so they may not be able to catch up.
"General! They're coming!" Hearing a soldier shout, the lieutenant turned his head to look, and saw that the leather raft flying the big flag with the word "He" took the lead, and the rest of the rafts also began to move towards this side. Looking again, the front The channel of the river has begun to shrink, and the river has begun to rush. If they don't cross the river, they may lose the opportunity to land, so they shouted: "Boys, whoever has a head, the marshal will reward him with ten thousand taels of gold!"
"Is it the golden ten thousand taels?" He Li asked left and right, seeing Ye Po and Xiaohu nodding, touched his head, then put his helmet on, and said: "How can our good head be worth so much?" Money? Brothers! Take down the party item, and I’ll buy you a drink when I go back!”
There was a deafening applause all around, and then they all dressed up, drew their bows, and aimed at the cavalrymen who were getting closer. Fuck you, run for your life, Li Yuancheng is no match for He Li at all! "Chen Rui said bitterly, and then added a whip. First, he used the trick of suspecting soldiers, and asked Li Yuancheng to put up a defensive posture before dawn to consume the physical strength of their soldiers. At this time, he used Li Yuancheng's mentality of wanting to catch him and used himself as a bait to lure Li Yuancheng to divide his troops. Just watch, the main force of his headquarters will cross the river.
He Li... originally thought that if Yang Zhao died in Heishuiguan, there would be no good generals. The king wanted to help the party to restrain the Ling family, but I'm afraid it would be useless.
