Invincible son

Chapter 404 403 [Torrent] (Twelve)

At the end of October, the first cold wave rushed south from the northern wilderness.

While enjoying the convenience and warmth of briquettes, the people in Kyoto cautiously discussed the war in the west.Daliang's control over folk speech is not strict. As long as it is not ridiculing the emperor's outrageous remarks, generally no one will care about the words of the common people. The scholars were locked up in the school dormitory by their masters, and they didn't have the mood and energy to talk nonsense at all.

The common people only know that Daliang and Xiwu are confronting each other at the border. They don't know the specific situation. They only heard that Zhongshanzi, who invented honeycomb, won several battles and wiped out thousands of enemies.

The officials and gentlemen of the six ministries of the two governments naturally knew better, but no one made a big fuss about Pei Yue, because they knew that the war was extremely dangerous, and some even proposed to send the Beijing Army West Camp to the border to deal with the [-]th Xiwu army. More than ten thousand troops.This proposal was ultimately rejected by Emperor Kaiping, and no one knew why His Majesty the Emperor was so confident.

Xiangyun Company is still developing rapidly, and today's business is no longer limited to briquettes.With Mr. Xi at the helm himself, Sun Qi and other powerful children fully supporting it, Gu Fan supervising the accounts, and a large number of newly recruited capable shopkeepers, the tentacles of this emerging firm are gradually extending out of the capital.Although some people expressed concern about this situation, merchants have always been lowly in the eyes of the rich and powerful, and they have not encountered any trouble under the care of the right ruling Luo Ting.Especially when Pei Yue worked hard to assist Charcoal Temple in Yongzhou and Yunzhou, Emperor Kaiping no longer feared the development of this firm.

Gu Zhen is quite free now, she will go to the main office every three or two days to have dinner and chat with Tao Hua.Of course, their topic will never be separated from the young man far away in the western region.After she heard about Pei Yue's achievements, although she was very happy, she couldn't erase the worry in her heart. It became more and more clear in the past few months, which made Mrs. Zhao very sad, and sent several family letters to Nanmian one after another.

After receiving the letter from the family, Hou Guliang of Guangping wrote back to tell Mrs. Zhao not to worry. After the war in the western region was over, the marriage of the young couple would be put on the agenda.Now that Gu Liang is in control of Chengjing's camp, the affairs at hand are extremely complicated, especially after the outbreak of the war in the western region, the Southern Zhou Dynasty began to move around, so he rushed to the Zhennan Camp, dispatched troops to strengthen the defense line, and calmed down the restlessness of the Southern Zhou people. Nip in the bud.

Although the Southern Zhou Dynasty had the strongest heavy armored infantry in the world, and the trapped camp was even more fearless, but under the premise of lacking cavalry, it is still a whimsical idea to cross the vast Tiancang River and force the Northern Expedition.

Unless there is chaos inside Daliang, even if Fang Xie Xiao uses his soldiers like a god, it will be difficult for him to see the outline of the capital.

Gu Liang was not worried about the threat from Nan Zhou. After securing the line of defense, he still looked at the northwest direction. After all, there was his son there, and Pei Yue, whom he could only bury the true relationship in his heart.

When the first cold wave in the fifth year of Kaiping crossed the capital and the plains, and the new wind blew the turbulent waters of the Tiancang River, Gu Liang finally received a secret letter sent by Pei Yue who traveled thousands of miles.

After reading the secret letter, he threw the letter into the brazier and burned it to ashes, with a relieved smile on his face.

At that moment, he thought of many people.

The faces in the memory are still clear, as if he can perceive his state of mind, and the blood and fire buried in the pile of old papers are rekindled.

The cold wave made people feel the bone-chilling cold, but just like Gu Liang's mood when he saw the letter, the soldiers of the Longbow Camp were also very hot in their hearts, because they finally didn't have to shrink into their shells like turtles, whatever they wanted to do. Let the enemy show off his power in front of him.

The infantry came out in formation, covered by the Qing cavalry flanks, and the main force of the Longbow Army, even though their strength was obviously weak, still took a stance without fear outside the Xishan village, proudly facing the large formation of the Wu army in the west.

Xie Lin stood on the chariot, looking at Liang Jun's formation.

It was not a fluke that Tang Youzhi was able to get to where he is today. His formation was square and upright, implying righteousness and strangeness. It was absolutely impossible to break the formation with cavalry.

The most important thing is that it is impossible for Schelling to throw out the main force in his hands. He must reserve enough reserve forces to guard against possible accidents.The Zang Fengwei led by Pei Yue still did not appear, just like a ghost wandering around.No one knows the strategy of the young dignitary, and Xie Lin has not figured it out until now, so he must ensure that he has spare power to deal with emergencies.

Is this your plan?

Exchange more than [-] elite cavalry for part of my troops?

It has to be said that this is a very good deal. Xie Lin's biggest advantage when facing Tang You is the [-] cavalry in his hand.Excluding the [-] cavalry left in the north of Hucheng, plus the more than [-] cavalry that were lost in Pei Yue's hands before, he now has [-] cavalry, including the most powerful [-] Ruijin Battalion Iron Armor cavalry.

Now that the Ruijin Battalion was left by Xie Lin to deal with the Zang Fengwei, at least [-] cavalry were allocated as a reserve team, and only [-] cavalry were left that could really be sent to the field.

In addition, he now has [-] infantry.

In contrast, Tang Youzhi's military strength is extremely weak, with only [-] infantry and [-] cavalry at full count.

Eighty thousand against forty thousand, Schelling had no reason to avoid the battle.

On the vast and boundless Gaoyang Plain, the military flags were flying, the swords and soldiers were awe-inspiring, and the chilly sunlight poured down like pieces of gold, reflecting on the tens of thousands of troops of the two countries, killing intent soared into the sky.

Xie Lin turned around and nodded, the herald galloped away, and after a while the sound of horns resounded throughout the world.

Two light cavalry came out first, and made a surprise attack on both sides of Liang Jun's formation. These were cavalry trained by Xie Lin himself, and they showed extraordinary strength from the moment they charged.While the horses galloped at high speed, these well-trained Western Wu cavalry calmly opened their bows and arrows, and kicked off the prelude to the battle with extremely superb riding and archery skills.

Tang Youzhi looked calm, since he agreed with Pei Yue's plan, he didn't have any hesitation or apprehension.

The large formation of infantry remained motionless, allowing the Western Wu cavalry to approach quickly, and the expression on each infantry's face was extremely calm.

The strength of the Longbow Battalion surpassed that of the Fourth Frontier Battalion, not because of bragging and posturing, but the result of hard work day after day.Tang Youzhi's ability to allow Yang Yingji's temperament to serve as an experience officer shows that he has strict requirements on these soldiers.

Gao Linfen led a cavalry to face the West Wu cavalry on the left, and Gu Mang led five thousand cavalry to face the West Wu cavalry on the right.

When the tides collide, it's instant!
This confrontation was more like a trial, and the winner was not determined. The two sides quickly distanced themselves after joining the battle, leaving dozens of corpses behind.

What followed was a large-scale battle of infantry fighting hand-to-hand.

If you zoom out, look down from above, and temporarily turn your attention away from this tragic battlefield, you will be able to see groups of soldiers and horses walking across the Gaoyang Plain in various places far away from Xishan Village, with the goal in exactly the same direction. .
