I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 47

Da Jin would not wish his vassals to be too weak, let alone wish them to be too strong.

But now is not the time to worry about these things. As the main force, Xue Cong immediately notified Fu Jinchuan's department of their situation and their next goal after arriving in Kucha City.

General Xue Cong led 5000 regular troops and [-] troops from various vassals to the north of Tianshan Mountains and marched west to Yuezhen Kingdom.As a partial teacher, what Fu Jinchuan needs to do is to guard against Qingtang and at the same time feign attack on Yuezhen's southern line, so that he can't look at each other from head to tail.

The troops that Fu Jinchuan can use are mainly the nearly [-] Jin troops from his own headquarters, and the thousands of vassal troops from the Tie Le department.

No more than [-] people.

But in Jiefu's strategic judgment, it was impossible for Qingtang to send troops.Because of the special system of the tribal alliance, although the two defeats last year would not seriously damage Qingtang's vitality, many tribes did not want to send troops to fight again.

Especially big clans like Renduo, Yeli, and Yuzang.

As Qingtang Great Lord, Tuoba Chide faced a very difficult situation.First of all, Yuezhen Kingdom is an important ally of Qingtang, and it was under his instigation that they decided to send four troops.

After all, they really didn't have the guts to ask Yuezhen Kingdom to send troops directly to Da Jin.

Tuoba Chide's original plan was that if he couldn't defeat the Jin army in Hexi, he would go to the four tribes to vent his anger, and unite with Yuezhen Kingdom to capture the four tribes, and then seize the land and divide it equally between Qingtang and Yuezhen, which could also improve the strength of the Qingtang army. morale.

But Qingtang itself had some problems. Because of last year's defeat, all tribes did not want to send troops.

Tuoba Chide coaxed and scolded, and under the circumstances of both kindness and power, all the tribes decided to obey the Maharaja's wishes and sent troops to attack the four tribes.

But the problem is, this time is a bit long.

It’s been so long that it’s been nearly five months since the New Year’s Eve. Jin’s envoys are all running back and forth in Shangjing, Hexi.

And Yuezhen Kingdom, which is gearing up to organize its army and prepare for war, before it comes to Qingtang to send troops to attack the four divisions, it will first face the Dajin Inquisitor.

The [-] Qingtang army gathered on the Yuchuan Plain. When they heard that the Jin army had dispatched troops, their morale collapsed, so they stopped and began to wait and see.

The main general, Mi Hong of Liuzhi Township, had no choice but to send a letter to Tuoba Chide, the maharaja of Qingtang King City, asking for "tactical guidance".

And Maharaja Tuoba Chide quickly gave his will, he will go to the front line to parade in person to boost morale.

After receiving the news, Mi Hong from Liuzhi Township smiled wryly and remained silent.

"Commander, but the Majesty ordered us to quickly rescue Yuezhen Kingdom?"

Mi Hong from Liuzhi Township shook his head, and then handed the Maharaja's letter to the lieutenant Ximolang.

After seeing it, Ximolang said: "The majesty wants to come to the front line in person, which is a bit unexpected. But now that Yuezhen is in an emergency, after the majesty arrives, it may be a month. By then, will Yuezhen be saved? ?”

Mi Hong from Liuzhi Township said: "I, Qingtang and Dajin have been fighting in the Western Regions for a hundred years, with more defeats and fewer victories, not to mention Yuezhen can stand up to the Jin army. When the Majesty comes, Yuezhen may not be here."

Ximolang said: "If that's the case, why should the Commander?"

"Can the sons of today still fight?"

The words of Mihong from Liuzhi Township stopped Ximolang, can he fight?

Rao Ximolang, who was famous for his bravery among the tribes of the Qing and Tang Dynasties, did not dare to say that he could fight.

Even if he can fight, and his tribe can fight, but most of the [-] army now must be afraid of the Jin army.

An army without a fighting spirit cannot win a battle.

All the migratory locusts in Shule City were dispersed by Fu Jinchuan, who closely monitored the movement of the Qingtang army and strangled the scouts of the Qingtang army.

It was now May, and the sun was very hot during the day. Dozens of migratory locusts marched along the towering and undulating mountains. This is the end of a branch of the Qilian Mountains, and the mountains are covered by thick jungles.

The brook is gurgling, green grass grows on both sides, and willow branches sprout. The trees and grass seem to be covered with a new light green dress.

By the creek, a group of gazelles rushed out of the forest in a panic. The followers were overjoyed and took their bows and arrows one after another. Wusi Duji had already shot it with one arrow. The arrow was so strong that it knocked down a fat animal. Gazelle, hunting in the wild, this is his special skill, he is a eagle shooter in the north.

Several subordinates who were good at archery also yelled to shoot arrows, and shot down five or six gazelles in a short while, and the rest of the gazelles ran back to the forest in horror and disappeared.

Pugu Huai'an carried a gazelle and disemboweled it by the stream, then said: "You all go find a place where you can roast the sheep."

The scouts have a clear rule that they are not allowed to light fire easily when investigating the enemy's situation, and the black smoke will be discovered by others, but this is not difficult for these experienced scouts. They will find some caves, deep pits or leeward places, and after passing some Arrangement can cover up the black smoke.

Soon the place was found, dozens of people roasted a few sheep, and everyone had already had a delicious meal in Qingtang territory.

Wusi Duji gnawed at the mutton and said to Pugu Huai'an who was drinking beside him: "We should have arrived at the Tanju Ridge mentioned in the picture, and we have encountered several Qingtang patrols in a row in the past few days. Met the main force of the Qingtang army."

Originally, the two of them were already captains of a hundred people, but for the reward proposed by Fu Jinchuan this time, they decided to bring 24 people each, and make up [-] people to carry out this dangerous mission together.

Pu Gu Huai'an nodded and said: "I can't be wrong, let's see what the other side of the mountain looks like tomorrow. I have to bring something back to see Lang Jun."

On the second day, with a few Yi Cong who are good at climbing, they climbed up to the high place in the mountain, and what Pugu Huai'an and Wu Si Duji saw was the Qingtang camp they were looking for.

"Woo~" The low-pitched sound of the horn echoed in the valley, one after another, the foot of the mountain began to be noisy, the fog became thinner and gradually dissipated, and the situation in the Qingtang camp at the foot of the mountain could barely be seen, but for the keen-sighted Wu Si As far as Duji and Pugu Huai'an were concerned, there were no obstacles. They were located on a cliff seven or eight feet high, and every move in the enemy camp could be seen clearly.
The Qingtang dome tents are densely arranged one after another, stretching for several miles, and there are fifteen or six hundred tents. The soldiers of the Qingtang Dynasty went out of the tents one after another, each with neat armor, everyone was carrying a sleeping roll, and the horses were on the ground. Tethered to the side of the big tent, they directly put the sheepskin rolls and other supplies on the horse's back. Judging from their appearance, they were preparing to move camp.

But at this time, it happened to be a good opportunity to observe the enemy, "50 people!" By the way, a team of a hundred people lived in two dome tents, that is to say, the Qingtang army below had about 50 to 5 people.

After carefully sorting out the information, Wusi Duji and Pugu Huai'an carefully withdrew from the observation position, and then put back the Fascinating Falcon they had been carrying all along.

After the subordinates converged, they began to evacuate quickly.

Migratory locusts traveled southward all the way. At dusk, they walked out of the forest area, and there was a vast grassland in front of them. A shrill whistling, 'Hoo--'

"Ming dysprosium!"

The righteous followers suddenly changed their colors. They were discovered by the Qingtang secret sentry hidden in the tree. They turned their horses and fled to the forest, but it was too late. People rushed into the forest and cut off their escape back to the forest.

Pu Gu Huai'an held a spear in his hand, and the opponent who took the lead shouted: "Break out to the north!"

Now their only chance is to break out of the siege before the two teams converge. Wusiduji rode his horse, and the horse charged diagonally. He drew an arrow with his bow, and the arrow went like lightning. The running centurion screamed, turned over and fell off his horse, and then another arrow from the left shot down another centurion.

The righteous servants shot their arrows one after another. The bows and arrows of the Locust Yicong were all top-grade made by the Mayi Gongfang of the Jin State. The shooting range was twice as long as that of the Qingtang Army. The advantage was obvious. In the blink of an eye, more than ten people were shot down, but the Qingtang people were extremely fast. Hurry up, surrounded in an instant, a Qingtang officer wearing a silver helmet shouted loudly.

"That seems to be Qianhu, what are you talking about?" Pugu Huai'an turned around and asked.

Wu Siduji, who spoke some words from Qingtang temporarily, said: "I'm talking about catching people alive."

Pugu Huai'an roared, brandished his spear, and rushed towards the silver-helmed commander, "If you beat a wolf, you must beat the leader, let me kill him!"

Wusi Duji couldn't shout, they wanted to rush out of the siege from the weakest point, the commander had too many people around him, and they would suffer a lot, so he also yelled, "Brothers, follow me to break out of the siege!" !"

The migratory locusts are all northern warriors with superb archery and martial arts, otherwise they would not have been picked by Fu Jinchuan.

At this time, Yi Cong, a migratory locust named A Shulie, was extremely brave. He took a special big knife and rushed towards the weakest point. A Qingtang soldier split into two pieces, before the saber's force was exhausted, another human head was sent flying. At the juncture of life and death, this migratory locust Yicong named A Shulie showed his bravery and saber skills to the fullest, just like a tiger Going down the mountain, he killed seven or eight Qingtang soldiers in an instant.

Yi Cong, the migratory locust behind him, also drew his scimitar and charged behind A Shulie.

At this time, Pugu Huai'an also broke through the siege and joined up, cooperating with A Shulie, they gradually cut a bloody path, while Wu Siduji and a few Yi Cong who were good at shooting were in the middle of the team, ready to snipe Kill the opposing officers and warriors.

But their breakthrough was only for a short moment, the two Qingtang armies began to close together, the leader of the silver helmet officer came from the side, he shouted loudly, commanded the army to surround the locust Yicong, he was a man with a thousand households, and his status was quite high , Knowing that it is of great significance to seize the Jin army scouts.

At this moment, Wu Si Duji took aim at an empty space, drew his bow and shot an arrow, the head of a thousand households was unable to dodge, but was shot in the face by an arrow, screaming and falling off his horse, and the Qingtang soldiers panicked when they saw the leader falling off his horse , stepped forward to help one after another, and a gap appeared in the formation.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was seized by A Shulie, with a loud roar, he killed four or five people in a row, charged with Pugu Huai'an, and even opened a bloody road, everyone rushed out of the encirclement, and ran towards the north.

At this time, Qingtang soldiers saw that there was no hope of catching them alive, so they started to shoot arrows, and in the last wave of arrows, they shot and killed several Yi Congs.

When this team set out, there were 50 migrating locusts in Yicong, but only a dozen of them returned to Shule City.
