Chapter 66 1

Qinghe County.

It has been seven days since Qinghe County was broken by Mengyang Iron Horse. Mengyang insisted on turning this rich county rich in American wine into his first territory. In the past few days, follow-up troops have driven into Qinghe County. Mengyang imperial flags are raised at the head of the city. The warriors stand proudly on the wall with a battle flag, like a solid tower, looking coldly at Fan in the distance. Yang's territory.

And Fanyang seemed to let Mengyang's army drive into the Qinghe River, and there was almost no obstruction. General Yan, who was in charge of the overall power, just kept mobilizing the army to gather the Qinghe River, array around Qinghe City, dig trenches, and camp and set up houses. The Cang navy was the first army to reach the Qinghe River. Ao Yu followed closely, and the Yan system to which General Yan belonged to the Imperial Palace had not yet opened.

The two sides seem to be playing chess. They don't seem to be in a hurry to seize the opportunity, but do not lay out the game slowly, take root, and are as gentle and modest as old chess players. In the imperial capital, people continue to impeach General Yan, who holds military power, for doing nothing, allowing the enemy to trample on the territory of Fanyang, with ghosts, and his heart can be killed. But General Yan, who was in the same hall, just sneered: "The war is going to kill people. Have you ever seen the dead? Why don't we throw you to the battlefield and have a try?"

Then the ministers in the temple closed their mouth and looked at the old man in white robe with ferocious scars on his face, and suddenly shuddered - this was a butcher who had destroyed nearly a million barbarians in the southwest in those years. After that, regardless of the emperor's order, they crossed the eastern ocean to rob the beach of the Japanese country and burned them all the way, killing the Japanese pirates who had not recovered in nearly 30 years, even people The mouth can't recover. This old man who killed millions of evils, who now wears plain clothes and reads Buddhist scriptures, was a big butcher who was afraid of the enemy!

Suddenly, I felt that General Yan was standing there. Even if he dozed off with his eyes closed, no one dared to underestimate him. Some people felt that the far north spine was cold and stepped on the corpses to achieve status. He had always been more sharper than the civil servants who embarked on their career by reading sages by reading sages. Young generals The sharpness is exposed, and he may be laughed at by people, but the general who has been tortured by the accumulation of years in his old age makes people feel even more uneasy and fearful.

The war is to kill people, to cut the blade into the flesh with a knife, to watch the blood splash three feet, to watch the enemy die in front of you, not as simple as saying with your mouth.

The temple Wenchen did not understand the truth of fighting, but the Fanyang generals on the front line sensed such a trace of depression.

The two armies fought, and the scouts always contacted each other first and fought with each other, just like two octopus stretching out their tentacles to wrap around each other. After the scouts figured out the enemy's situation, the general formulated tactics, arranged troops, and waited for the opportunity to move.

But the game between Fanyang and Mengyang in Qinghe County has a spirit of gambling.

The two sides continue to dispatch troops to gather in the Qinghe River, and they can see each other's troops constantly opening up. They can see that the camp under them is like wild and spreading weeds, and the cooking smoke rising during the meal almost covers the sky. Just like the gambler who keeps * increasing the stakes, he risks all his family's background and makes a final sound, so that the other party can lose all and eat a bowl full by himself.

Can Fanyang afford to lose such a big bet? Mengyang lost, at most he lost Qinghe County and returned to Mengyang. If Fanyang lost, what else can he use to fight against Mengyang's army?

Even Fanyang's own warriors can feel the wolf-like madness of Mengyang warriors. They seem to keep wandering tirelessly. Recently, Mengyang's ward is only a stone's throw away from their camp. They clearly looked at the warrior riding a high horse from the far north grassland with cold eyes and ran back and forth around the camp like the prey of their territory. The Fanyang warrior couldn't stand the Mengyang warrior's so arrogant bullying, leading the bow and long shot, but the arrows flew softly and were dodged. What they were dozens of powerful arrows that shot through the throat of the arrow warrior.

On the arrow that shot the Fanyang warrior, the dark arrow rod was as heavy as a small gun, and the arrowhead with barbed was shot into the body like biting flesh and blood, which was difficult to pull out. Even the arrowhead had etched blood grooves with ulterior motives. Compared with such a fierce arrow, the wolf tooth arrow used by Fanyang's proudest Aoyu long shot is like a trick for children.

A glimpse of the leopard.

Is this the operation of Mengyang Linxi for so many years? What he wants is the whole world?

The Fanyang warrior looked at the Mengyang imperial flag flying on the wall and became more and more uncertain about this big bet. Fanyang people who are good at business seldom do desperate things, and they always maximize their benefits under the premise of avoiding risks. Twenty years of prosperity and peace, even the army brought this smooth and cunning self-preservation mind.

On this day, the last fierce wind and thunder iron rode into Qinghe City, followed by several huge broken cones and siege hammers. Mengyang and Fanyang's machine bracket manufacturing technology is very developed, but the focus is different. Mengyang's machine bracket is biased towards large siege and defense machines. For example, when Chi Nasi attacked Mengyang, Mengyang Shenguo took out more than a dozen bulls and dozens of strong men to move, and the shield wall of the night country was more than ten feet high. Kill more than 10,000 barbarian elite heavy cavalry, a magnificent iron horse known as the heavy cavalry emperor.

The Fanyang machine bracket is biased towards small equipment, which can be used by samurai soldiers, with a range of up to 500 steps, and even an osprey* that can shoot nearly 1,000 steps. The penetration is also amazing. However, when the Fanyang military system was in great turmoil 20 years ago, all the development and manufacturing of armaments was stopped. Now the equipment is still used in the technology of 20 years ago.

As Li Syan, the capital of the Cang navy in the barracks, said: "The soldiers are old, and the horses are exhausted. This must be turned into a magical ability to have a chance to win the war!"

turn decay into magic? On the contrary, these empire's backbone generals are about to decay.

Mengyang wind and thunder iron horses all entered Qinghe County, and at the same time, the soldiers under the command of General Yan also came to Qinghe County. The Cang navy sent 80,000 troops, and Ao Yu shot 40,000 bows and crossbows. Coupled with 60,000 people from the newly arrived Yanzi Army, nearly 200,000 troops surrounded Qinghe City.

The invaders and resisters seem to have changed positions.

Mengyang's army, which should have attacked the city and pulled out the village, turned into a defense of the city, but Fanyang's army had to take its own city, which made several generals somewhat laugh and cry.

In General Yan's tent, several generals gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Sitting in the top seat is naturally the armored General Yan. The ferocious scars on his face match the beast-faced armor on his body, making the general look like a cold and fierce demon god. The blind left eye is just a frightening white, and the only left right eye turns looking at the people in the account.

"There are many fewer people than 20 years ago." General Yan said hoarsely.

The generals in the tent are Yang Yu, the commander of the Cang navy, Li Siam, the three lieutenants of the Yanzi Army who have been following General Yan, and a lieutenant arranged by the imperial capital. This is the last general in Fanyang. Most of them survived the military cleansing 20 years ago. Now that they are sent by the emperor to resist the strong enemy, everyone is not happy and look at General Yan with a complicated look.

The old general sat cross-legged, put his arms on his knees, looked at his left position, and said, "This should have been my student, Wang Zhongli's position. The child was only 20 years old and was very bold. When the barbarians were paced in the southwest, a man killed more than 30 barbarians. He was as weak like a scholar, but at that time, there was a string of barbarians' heads hanging on his waist, which was very majestic. When counting his head as military merit, the meritor thought that he had cheated and had to be dealt with by the military barracks, and the boy The military judge with a knife and a sword couldn't take him. In the end, when it happened to me, I said that I couldn't kill thirty-six barbarians alone. At most, more than 20 people were you better than me? The boy blocked his neck and was very stiff. He said that he would compare with me and win me. The great achievements of these thirty-six barbarians' heads had to be counted on him. If he was going to lose, he would let the military law deal with fraud.

The old general doesn't seem to care about the enemy of Mengyang less than ten miles away, but just talk about the past in a hoarse voice.

"Good boy, Wang Zhongli, the skill of swords with both hands, horseback reverse hand, ten rounds, it's me who fell off the horse's back! The boy sat on the horse and said to me that if he didn't accept it, it would be you who would be shot down. I didn't accept it, so I rode again. This time it was eight rounds, and I got off the horse. Shame, I was knocked off by a new graduate in front of so many robes, and my old face was lost, but I was happy. I can't wait for every samurai in the army to easily beat me down..."

Later, we forcibly crossed the East China Sea and attacked and killed the Japanese pirates. Our ship was blown away by the storm and could not organize an offensive to land. Tens of thousands of Japanese pirates on the shore were waiting to kick us down like catching sea turtles. Or did Wang Zhongli lead 5,000 soldiers to fight 40,000 Japanese pirates to death, killing the enemy. Less than 100 5,000 people survived, for Large troops take the lead. This great achievement is not comparable to that of thirty-six people. I enlightened the emperor and made Wang Zhongli a lieutenant of Zheng Sipin Guoyi. That year, Wang Zhongli was 23 years old and was really a young hero. But later, your Majesty wanted my life. The eunuch Guo Amon chased me 300 miles from the imperial capital. Wang Zhongli led me away, and I was able to save a life. The child didn't know where he was, and he didn't even know whether he was alive or dead..."

"And on the right hand side, it should have been the position of Aguta, the leader of the Ghost Department, the southern barbarians. He was a talent found during my expedition to the barbarians in the south. He was extremely ugly and uglier than my appearance. He was disliked by the tribe and bullied him. He had been hunting since primary school, and each time he hunted the largest prey. He took these prey to the tribe and thought that he would be The tribe accepted it, but it turned out to be bullied more fiercely... A very agile young man, born in the wild, was awesome. I watched him being chased all the way by the clan, jumping from this tree to that tree like flying, and cleverly dodged the arrows from behind. How could he hide so accurately? Listen to the sound. So I took him with me for several years and gave him the ghost department. Later... When I fled, he blocked an arrow for me, fell behind, and was cut into two pieces with a knife..."

"Up to now, the ghost department has become a warrior under the command of the Second Highness, and has become a group of straw bags. If you can't take it out, you will die on the battlefield. Don't do it."

"There are still many young people who are dead, escaping, and unable to survive. If they are not dead, they are disheartened by the court and unwilling to contribute again. Twenty years of the army of the empire was exhausted and neglected in training. It was not until I took a few doses of strong medicine that I was not terminally ill. I could barely get the strength to fight with the troops next door, but it was just a struggle... I lost a lot in momentum, and I was lucky to be able to be even in the combat power..."< /P>

"General Yan, in the face of the great enemy, if you grow his popularity and destroy your prestige, aren't you afraid of shaking the army's heart and losing the ground? If this comes to your majesty's ears, you can't be driven out of the imperial capital again..." The lieutenant of the imperial capital said gloomily.

As soon as he said this, he found that the atmosphere in the account was not right.

Seven old and strong generals turned their heads and looked at him with a bad face. Li Siam, the governor of the Cang navy, even pressed his hand on the knife handle between his waist.

The old general sitting in the front sneered, "Is it in your Majesty's ear?" You have to spread this word to the imperial capital first--
