At 90 the next day, the blizzard was still falling, and the charcoal basins in the military tent were completely cold. The generals gathered around the map on the table, waiting for Xiao Chiye to speak in the candlelight.
The battle of Chashi Tiankeng was not hard, but it was quite dangerous. Xiao Chiye took the advantage of the blizzard, and on the ice, he steered Achi away from the southeast and led him to the Chashi Tiankeng, where the sand layout was relatively weak. A Chi's reinforcements came so quickly because Duanzhou still has a post station here, but he shifted his focus to the southeast, and was at a loss for Xiao Chiye's Libei Railway Cavalry, so he gave him who kept an eye on Duanzhou's movements. Opportunity for Tantai Tiger slash support.
Xiao Chiye took off his armor last night, and after the military doctor withdrew, he moved his lower shoulders and arms a little, looked around at them, and said, "We are not here to fight them, but to ask them for Duanzhou. Now that A Chi is dead, the heavy troops are still stationed in the southeast, and the troops in Duanzhou City are less than 10,000, which is a good opportunity."
Fei Sheng brought the medicine to Shen Zechuan, took a few sneak glances, and saw that Fu Jun was still in good spirits today.
"A lot of cavalry escaped yesterday," Yin Chang pressed his finger to the southeast of Duanzhou. "The heavy soldiers here will suspect that we are going to attack Duanzhou when they receive the news, and will definitely come up to intercept them first."
The old man was not afraid of anyone during the military meeting. He tied his messy beard together at will, but he didn't dare to drink in front of Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye, so he could only satisfy his hunger with tea.
Xiao Chiye did not reply immediately, leaving the opportunity to Tantai Hu.
Tantaihu has gradually gained some insights in the past two years, pondering the meaning of the second master, raised his hand and pointed to the location of Duanzhou, and said, "We are now in Chashi Tiankeng, which is a little distance from Duanzhou. If the heavy troops from the southeast come here to intercept us, the strength of the troops in Duanzhou City will not change." He glanced at Xiao Chiye a little nervously, and seeing Xiao Chiye's face was natural, he continued, "When the time comes, let us be stationed in the city. Wu Ziyu of Luoshan can go around to the west gate of Duanzhou, and he can attack directly."
Xiao Chiye nodded, indicating that Tantaihu was right.
Gujin's expression was slightly sullen, he looked at Chashi River and said, "We use the bait to lead all our troops to Chashi Tiankeng, but Master, behind us is Chashi River, if Amur takes the opportunity to send troops to sneak attack, or Hassenan If we are transferred here, then we will be attacked by the enemy. When Wu Ziyu goes around to the west of Duanzhou again, we will not even have reinforcements."
"What you say hurts the heart of the battleground." Xiao Chiye stared at Shen Zechuan drinking the medicine while he was talking, and then continued, "Isn't the third battalion of Shah a reinforcement?"
Gujin paused for a moment, shook his head and said, "I can't trust Guo Weili."
Xiao Chiye didn't continue to talk about the matter, he raised his hand, patted Gujin's back lightly, and said, "Big brother can see the situation clearly in the big realm, Duanzhou is bound to win, and there are Lu Guangbai and Lu Guangbai in the battle. With Master here, the three major battalions will definitely hold back Ha Sen with all their strength. As for Amur..." Xiao Chiye basked slightly, "The unit he can urgently adjust now is the Green Rat Department."
Qi Zhuyin is going to send troops to attack the Qingshu Department. If the Queen Mother and the Ministry of War do not agree, is there no way she can do it
"Qidong's military rations are supplied by the Yan family, and the carriage has already led to Ce County three days ago," Shen Zechuan said with a bitter taste in his mouth, "Calculate the time, the commander should be full."
As long as Qi Zhuyin is full, she will dare to play tricks with Que Du. A few years ago, she had to deal with these old foxes when she didn't enter, because she was afraid of trouble. Now that the machete is going to be in front of her eyes, she is not afraid of any trouble.
"The speed of the cavalry marching in the snow is not as fast as usual, and we still have the opportunity to prepare here." Xiao Chiye said, "The current camp is simple, and the Dunzhou garrison is digging horizontal trenches in Siye tonight. The night patrol takes turns. The eagle will also be released. The forbidden army and the Libei Iron Cavalry fought hard for several days, rest when they can rest, they must recharge their batteries and give Wu Ziyu enough time."
The heavy snow blocked the road, and it was definitely too late to send the news to Luoshan. Fortunately, the Libei Iron Cavalry brought his own eagle and flew northwest for a few hours.
The crowd responded, and when they were discussing, Xiao Chiye touched his arms for a moment. Shen Zechuan put down the medicine bowl, pinched the folding fan in his sleeve, and suddenly something jumped up between the sleeves. When he looked closely, it turned out to be a piece of candy wrapped in oiled paper.
Xiao Chiye seemed to have never done this before, looking at the map with a serious expression.
* * *
Wu Ziyu slept in Luoshan until midnight, and was woken up by the lieutenant. He opened the letter from the eagle by candlelight in the tent, and immediately woke up. He didn't dare to sleep anymore, got up and put on his armor, and asked, "Where is Yan Heru?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Heru emerged from the curtain and said, "Here it is!"
Wu Ziyu grabbed the letter and said in a rough voice, "Everyone is dead? Just tell him to come in like this?"
"Hey, don't be angry." Yan Heru walked in with a small golden abacus in his pocket, "The mansion told me to stay here, I'll stay here, what can I do? You are too cautious, Master Wu."
"Marching and fighting is no better than buying goods from merchants. If something goes wrong, you will lose your head." Wu Ziyu had dealt with Luoshan bandits when he was preparing military supplies for the Libei Iron Cavalry last year. He got up and said, "I'm going to send troops soon, and the bandits in Luoshan will be eliminated. If you stay here, the man is not at ease. In this case, hurry up and pack up and go with me."
Yan Heru did business with the people from Biansha, and he was left unattended in Luoshan. Wu Ziyu felt it was inappropriate and had to keep an eye on him.
Yan Heru turned pale with fright, followed Wu Ziyu with an abacus, and said, "The sword has no eyes, Master Wu, what are you doing with me? My family's business is all tied to me, I can't have three strengths and two weaknesses. Do you know about Qidong's military rations? It's up to me to deliver it now. I'll just stay behind, why don't you send someone to take me back to Cizhou? Dunzhou is also fine!"
"With so many soldiers, we still can't protect you?" Wu Ziyu Chongyan Heru showed his white teeth, "I'll send you back after the battle, and go with the manor, so that you won't be delayed."
After saying that, without waiting for Yan Heru to answer, he called the personal soldiers outside to put the people into the carriage and tie them directly to the army to take them away.
Wu Ziyu exhaled deeply at the entrance of the tent, the sky was drowsy, he took out the crumpled letter just now and read it again. The candle in the tent covered his back, and he stared at the word "attack" for a long time.
The raid on Duanzhou is related to Xiao Chiye's safety. This battle must not only be fought quickly, but also stably. There are two people in the battle situation in Chashi Tiankeng. He can't take responsibility for any loss of Wu Ziyu. He has to bear the weight.
But I am an escort team.
Wu Ziyu frowned, and his eyes looked through the long night, thinking of when he first met Xiao Chiye.
"Aren't you Li North Iron Cavalry?"
Xiao Chiye half turned back under the scorching sun, his eyes were deep.
Wu Ziyu didn't dare to answer Xiao Chiye's words until today. He seemed to acquiesce that he could only escort the baggage, but he was not reconciled. He was punished by Xiao Jiming to Bianbo Camp for drinking alcohol in his early years. Seeing Zhaohui as the main general of Liuyang's three major battalions, and now seeing Chenyang and Gujin being reused successively, Xiao Chiye put him in Bianbo. The battalion has not been used in the front for a long time.
Wu Ziyu spat and shoved the letter back into his arms. He took two steps in the snow, suddenly jumped up, clenched his fist, and waved it a few times in the air.
Xiao Chiye dared to give him the opportunity, and he would risk his life to fight for the second master!
* * *
The next day, the snow gradually became smaller.
Xiao Chiye wore heavy armor in the military tent. His armor was slightly damaged by the hammer attack the day before yesterday. His left and right arms were the most serious, especially the left arm that continuously carried the Achi hammer, which was even slightly sunken.
"Wu Ziyu has already arrived in the west of Duanzhou. If he survives tonight, he will be able to attack him back and forth tomorrow morning." Xiao Chiye's armor piercing looks higher, almost blocking all the light in front of Shen Zechuan.
Shen Zechuan was sitting on the plank bed. He was here, and he had a deeper meaning in the eyes of others. Xiao Jiming now dares to do his best to let the three war battalions in the war zone assist in the battle of Zhongbo Duanzhou, not only because Xiao Chiye is here, but also because Shen Zechuan is also here. This is the sincerity that Libei sees.
"Fei Sheng took Jinyiwei to follow Hai Rigu, which can make up for the lack of scouts." Shen Zechuan looked at Xiao Chiye with his arms bound, and said, "If you don't come back tomorrow, the remaining soldiers and horses will also be thrown forward."
The soldiers and horses left by Xiao Chiye were used as a barrier for Shen Zechuan. If there was any accident, these people would escort Shen Zechuan to the north, and the third battalion of Shasha would come to support him.
Xiao Chiye's arm-tied hand paused slightly, he looked at Shen Zechuan and understood what Shen Zechuan meant. Shen Zechuan motioned Xiao Chiye to squat down, Xiao Chiye was inconvenient to squat, so he simply withdrew one leg and knelt down on one knee near Lanzhou.
The snow outside the tent was as light as flakes, Fei Shengxun Yin Chang's drinking sound was intermittent, Li Beitie rode in heavy armor and stepped in the snow, walking neatly and uniformly. There was chaos all around, firewood was burning in the charcoal basin in the tent, and the tea on the shelf was just boiling.
Xiao Chiye's eyes were sharp, and his recent sharpness became more and more unstoppable. He said to Shen Zechuan, "You wait for me here."
"I want to go," Shen Zechuan's cloak slipped off his shoulders, he imitated Xiao Chiye's actions, pinched Xiao Chiye's chin, and tilted his head slightly, "But I don't have the ability, I can only be here Be a bad wife."
Xiao Chiye let Shen Zechuan squeeze, and laughed out loud when he heard the words.
Shen Zechuan listened to Gujin parked outside the tent, he took the helmet, put it on for Xiao Chiye, and kissed Xiao Chiye through the steel in the brief glance of each other.
"After tonight," Xiao Chiye stroked Shen Zechuan's cheek with his cold iron fingers, and said in a low voice, "My Lanzhou is the master of bloggers."
* * *
Xiao Chiye tried his new knife with A Chi, but it was far from enough. He was hungry enough to swallow the northern and southern battlefields. Every battle was a trial, and he was here to sharpen his knife faster.
There are 25,000 heavy soldiers in the southeast of Biansha, of which there are only 5,000 scorpions. The rest of the cavalry lacks horses, and many people can only temporarily serve as infantry. They lost their main general, and they couldn't get news from the other side of the Chashi River. They were forced to stop Xiao Chiye to ensure the safety of Duanzhou.
What Xiao Chiye wanted was this coercion. As soon as 25,000 people moved, the west side of Duanzhou was completely vacated, and Wu Ziyu immediately began to attack the city. Shen Zechuan's advantage of locking Zhongbo was revealed. Duanzhou received no support, and food was supplied to Achi's 20,000 people. The 8,000 soldiers and horses who stayed in Duanzhou had to fight hungry instead.
When Zhongbo fought, it was late at night in Bianjun.
The news of A Chi's defeat has not yet reached the Qingshu Department, and their night patrol team wandered around the border county. The main general of the Qingmo Department is called Su Meng. He used to be Ha Sen's lieutenant. He can also participate in discussions under Amur's account, but because the clan is not strong enough, he lost the opportunity to follow Ha Sen to the north and played against Lu Guangbai here.
Tonight, there is no snow in Bianjun, from a distance, Suotianguan looks like a beauty sleeping across the city. There was some snow in the sky, and there was no trace of the moon when I looked up.
Su Meng felt that the Bian County was too quiet tonight, which made him uneasy, so he specially increased the number of people on the night patrol to have a panoramic view of the east of Bian County to defend against the surprise attack of the army.
In the second half of the night, the night patrol set up a bonfire in the wilderness, roasted the jerky they carried with them, and filled their stomachs with snow water.
"The scorpions in the north have been winning battles," said the cavalry of the green rat clan, breaking the jerky, and said with Biansha, "they are about to merge into the twelve clans and become the clan closer to the north. Will we still be able to get food at that time? ?"
Su Meng drank the snow water, shook his head and said, "Russian and Ri will not let the scorpions become tribes, they are slaves of the Eagles."
Scorpion's mother is from Dazhou, and there have been traitors like Hai Rigu. Even if they win the battle, it is difficult to convince the public. Moreover, in the desert, the ministries recognized Hassan.
"If Gedal can give it to us," the cavalry smiled at Su Meng, "then we won't be afraid of going hungry again."
Su Meng swallowed the snow and did not answer immediately. He had tried Amur, but got no response. The Green Mouse Department is not a strong team, and now the Eagle Department is no longer the small team it used to be. The Border County garrison all ran away. Su Meng couldn't see the future in the station day after day. He pinned his hopes on his son, but his son died in the spring of this year.
"Waiting is always useful," Su Meng could only comfortably say, "At least staying here will not face Li Bei's revenge."
The cavalry laughed.
Halfway through the bonfire, the cavalry saw a few wild dogs behind them. He waved the dead branches, and made a "bang" driving sound from his mouth. These wild dogs were drooling with hunger, and they circled them in the heat.
Su Meng said, "Drive them away."
The cavalry stood up, took the machete, and added a stomping motion. The wild dog shrank back, the cavalry was sullen, turned back and said to Su Meng: "We can hunt, the dog skin can—"
Before the cavalry's words were finished, the wild dogs rushed up like crazy, biting the cavalry and dragging him to the ground. His arm holding the knife was bitten, the leather could not hold the sharp teeth of the wild dogs, and he cried out in pain.
Su Meng stood up immediately, and the night patrol cavalry followed, kicked the wild dog, and dragged the man back. Su Meng saw the strange red eyes of these wild dogs. To be safe, he said to the cavalry: "Pull the bow and shoot them to death, these dogs are not right."
There were a few faint calls of partridges in the night, and the wild dogs seemed to sense the danger, and turned around and ran away when the cavalry mounted the bow. They ran west in a panic, and the cavalry followed.
The wild dog was shot by the arrow and fled forward lamely. The cavalry behind pulled out the machete, leaned down, and wanted to kill the wild dog with a knife while the horses sprinted. They ran wildly, splashing snow foam in the air, only to hear a "whoosh" sound, a long arrow shot straight from the west, and the cavalry immediately turned off their horses. With his feet still on the saddle, he was dragged across the border by the horse.
Oops!
Su Meng secretly said that his voice was not good. Amur had already ordered that it was not appropriate to fight Qidong at this moment. As long as they did not attack, Qi Zhuyin would not be able to come out. He immediately reined in his horse and shouted, "Back up!"
But the torches in front suddenly lit up, and then the surrounding area became bright.
"Qi Zhuyin!" Su Meng scolded Da Zhou on the horse, "Women are cunning!"
Qi Zhuyin stood in front of the garrison that was waiting in a serious line, rolled over the snow under her feet, and said leisurely, "Light the Wanli Beacon Tower and tell Qiedu that the Qingshu Division has crossed the border and invaded."
The Qidong garrison suddenly listed their shields, and the sword light flickered.
