Chapter 43 Soldier to Liuquan Town

Xiao Tianjian's body fluctuated slightly with the action of sitting on the war horse, and looked around solemnly. The soldiers of the two battalions of the Xingtian Army were the same as him at this time. They put on their armor solemnly, carried their weapons, lined up in columns, and marched forward, like a The iron flow gathered at the intersection, and then rushed to the battlefield under the leadership of their respective officers.

The Luo River is flowing slowly on their right side, but a few miles away from their left side, there are ups and downs. The soldiers of the second and third battalions, on the flat land between the mountains and the Luo River, slowly pushed forward with several regiments. Between them, a small group of cavalry urged the war horses and trotted at a speed. He kept passing between them and rushed to the front of the team.

Xiao Tianjian looked at the strong soldier he had created, and couldn't help sighing in his heart. He was no longer the college student who did not go well in those years. He came to this era. Through his own efforts, now he has created a strong soldier that can influence the current situation. He has begun to enjoy This kind of life has no nostalgia for the previous life. Now he has long been open about this experience. This is not God's injustice to him. On the contrary, God has given him this opportunity to come to this troubled era to create a career, so he has to control his own destiny, no matter what is in front of him. He believes that with his strong army, he can completely smash everything that prevents him.

When the rolling generals passed by Xiao Tianjian, they all solemnly raised their hands to salute him one by one, and Xiao Tianjian also solemnly saluted them. After more than two years of training in Shanxi, these soldiers are now like swords out of the sheath, emitting a kind of cold light, although they Many people used to be just busy farmers in the farmland, but under the unique rigorous training of Xing Tianjun, they have already taken off the looseness on their bodies, and there was a serious military atmosphere all over their bodies.

Everyone is full of self-confidence. There is no other source of this kind of self-confidence. It is precisely what has been caused by the rare defeat of the Xing Tianjun in the southern and northern battles over the years. In the eyes of these Xingtian army soldiers, with Xiao Tianjian, no matter what kind of enemies they meet, they will not fail, so this time although they have heard What they are going to fight is the most famous army of Daming today, but they did not show any timidity, and they set foot on their own battlefield one by one with high fighting spirit.

Unlike these soldiers rolling forward, some scouts kept running back from the front, quickly running to the position of the Xingtian army flag in the middle, and constantly sending the information in front back to Xiao Tianjian's middle army.

"Report! To the general! Five miles ahead, it has been found that the night of the officers and soldiers did not accept it. The night without receiving them opened a search curtain and constantly expelled our scouts. We can't pass through them to find out the main force of the officers and soldiers behind!" A scout team rushed to Xiao Tianjian and reported loudly to Xiao Tianjian, and his armor was still inlaid with two broken arrows. At a glance, he knew that they had just fought with the officers and soldiers at night.

Xiao Tianjian nodded slightly and said, "I know, go down and rest quickly. Thank you for your hard work!"

After listening to this, the scout shouted, "This is nothing. We used to die for the general!"

At this time, Luo Li and Li Shuanzhu both led the horse to Xiao Tianjian. After saluted Xiao Tianjian on the horse's back, they asked them what to do next.

Xiao Tianjian frowned and did not say anything, but turned his eyes to the distant horizon. For him, he was not without any pressure in this battle. As the saying goes, he is famous, but this time they are going to face the last elite of the Ming Dynasty, and because of the caution of the other party this time, until Now they haven't figured out the real strength of their opponents.

And before he led the troops, he did not take an inventory of the troops at hand. At present, although he has gathered two battalions of soldiers and horses, and there is also a team of more than 300 cavalry. The actual soldiers are more than 3,000 soldiers, while the auxiliary troops are more than 700 people's battalions and more than 2,000 temporary conscripted in Yongning County. Hundreds of engineers, but these auxiliary soldiers cannot be used on the battlefield. They can only provide material support for the barracks, and only two battalions of soldiers and 300 light riders are put into the battle.

He had to fight this battle, because he knew very well the significance of this battle for Xing Tianjun. As a guest army, he came to the hinterland of Henan for the first time. Judging from the fact that local thieves like Yidougu dared to come to trouble them, if Xing Tianjun wants to gain a foothold here, his prestige in Shanxi alone is a deterrent. The powerful man who lives in Henan urgently needs a big victory to strengthen the voice of the Xingtian Army to deter various local forces. The best way is to completely defeat the Guanning Iron Horse, which has repeatedly defeated all kinds of rebels in the area of Henan, so that the powerful people in Henan also know that they know about their Xingtian Army. It is the strongest army in the world.

Therefore, this battle is crucial for the Xing Tianjun who first entered the hinterland of the Central Plains. However, now it seems that they are still not prepared enough. At least up to now, even the real strength of the enemy has not been fully explored. The warriors know that the other party can fight a hundred battles, but now they are not known before the enemy's situation. The whole army has begun to fight against this famous strong soldier in today's world, so Xiao Tianjian can't say that he is not worried at all.

Fortunately, for the enemy on the opposite side in this battle, the situation should be basically the same. The enemy's light division came. Although they may have learned about the situation of the Xingtian Army in Yiyang County, they should not know much about the true combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army. After all, their two armies have not really been in the war until now. They met on the field, and Zu Kuan led his troops to win many battles in Henan. It was expected that their soldiers and horses had accumulated considerable arrogance, so to a certain extent, Xiao Tianjian was quite sure about this battle, not to mention that Xing Tianjun is at the peak of his current level of equipment, training and even morale. Their The method of battle is also far more than all the troops in China in this era, so this is also the key for Xiao Tianjian to dare to lead his troops to attack them under unknown circumstances.

For the instructions of the two generals, Xiao Tianjian withdrew his mood, showed a standard smile to them, pointed forward with a horse whip and said, "Stop two miles ahead, and there we will defeat this proud soldier!" It is rumored that the scouts will quickly find out the strength of the other party. Let's also see what's so powerful about this Guanning Tieqi!"

Luo Li and Li Shuanzhu immediately nodded and received the order, "Get the order!"

At this time, a fast horse flew and rushed over. Immediately, a knight came to Xiao Tianjian. He rolled off the saddle and ran to Xiao Tianjian and saluted, "General, my subordinates have found out that it was Zu Kuan, the general of the Ming army in Liaodong, who came here this time. He led 2,000 iron riders from Lushan four days ago. We arrived in Yiyang County at night, and now it's their soldiers and horses opposite us!"

Xiao Tianjian stared at the scout and asked loudly, "So is there any movement in Wang Shaoyu's department in Yiyang County?"

The scout immediately replied, "General, since yesterday, Wang Shaoyu's subordinates have also begun to make a move. Wang Shaoyu personally led 3,000 soldiers. After leaving Yiyang County, he crossed the Luo River to the south bank of the river. It seems that he intends to march along the south bank of the Luo River to our Yongning County! Please make a final order!"

Although Xiao Tianjian was slightly shocked after hearing this, the expression on his face did not change. Instead, he showed a little relaxed expression and nodded, "Well done. How did you find out these?"

The captain of the scout team opened his mouth and replied to Xiao Tianjian with a smile, "General Qihua, the little ones disguised as exiles and sneaked into Yiyang County. After learning the news in the county, Xiao Dare not dared to neglect, so he immediately sneaked back and reported to the general!"

Xiao Tianjian smiled and waved his hand to let him retreat. He ordered his entourage to remember his achievements. Then he sneered at Luo Li and Li Shuanzhu and said, "This Wang Shaoyu is a clever man. Knowing that Zu Kuan's department here is dragging us, he quickly stretched out his head from Yiyang County and wants to take a detour from Yongning County from the south bank of the Luo River. Machine copy our back road. In this way, even if Zu Kuan defeated us, he still won the first place in the county of Yongning County! Humph! The officers and soldiers are all such villains. Based on this alone, Xiao can assert that the Ming officers and soldiers have rotted to the bone! Don't worry about Wang Shaoyu. What we have to do now is to defeat Zu Kuan's troops, and then quickly withdraw the troops back and give Wang Shaoyu a heavy blow! Let the officials in Henan know that since I'm here, their good days should come to an end! Keep moving forward and give me the work of Zu Kuan! ......”

After listening to this, the generals cheered and ran back to their troops. Thousands of athletes, led by the officers, accelerated their pace and ran to the battlefield. They didn't know who it was. Suddenly, they sang loudly in the marching army: "Arrogance and laughing thousands of waves, hot blood is better than red sunlight, bold as iron. The bone is like fine steel, with a long chest and a long vision. I vow to work hard to be a good man, and to be a good man every day..."

After hearing the sound of singing, the soldiers and soldiers also sang loudly. Xiao Tianjian then laughed loudly and shouted at the iron head and other guards: "Let's go! Go to the front..."
