I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 53
In the 17th year of Xuanjia, in the middle of June, the army of Qingtang Dynasty gradually approached Shule City,
As the saying goes, if there are more than [-] troops, there is no limit, not to mention an army of [-], stretching for miles, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

Eighteen strong black yaks walked in the center of the team, pulling a huge cart, surrounded by armored cavalry guards.

Surrounded by tens of thousands of Qingtang troops, they rushed towards Shule City without haste, and each department moved forward alternately.The team has a clear banner and a forest of spears and spears, occupying dangerous places along the way.

As a result, Shi Wannian tried to attack the Qingtang army's supply team several times without a chance, so he could only harass the outside, and finally returned to the city without success.

Inside the building car, it was like a large palace, with felts, low tables and cushions inside. Maharaja Tuoba Chide sat on the bed, surrounded by Qingtang nobles and generals.

For example, the theory of the state is praised, the general Liuzhixiang Mihong, Ximolang, Tuoba Awu, the head of the Renduo tribe Renduo Lingding, the head of the Yeli tribe Ye Lirong, the eldest prince Tuoba Hao, the ghost badge of the Wanhu Qingyi Festival in the central part, etc. Wait.

"Just received news that Lianshan Fort was breached by Xue Cong seven days ago, and now the Jin army has marched towards the Red Buddha Hall, and Yuezhen Kingdom is over."

Liuzhixiang Mihong, who was in charge of introducing the military situation, just stated the news calmly, without any emotional color in his voice.

And this situation is not as expected by others.

More than a month is enough for a country with tens of thousands of armors to be wiped out in reality and only exist in books.

"So, there is only one goal left this time, Shule City."

Mihong from Liuzhi Township paused for a moment and continued: "Shule City is the royal city of the Tiele Tribe. It was built along the Shule River, with Kuoye to the south, but because of the Shule River and the Bomi River, our army could not besiege the city. "

"Fu Jinchuan, the guard of Shule City, the son of Fu Maoxiu, Hexi Jiedu Envoy, is a difficult character even though he is not yet 20 years old. In the hands of Xue Cong, before Xue Cong's reinforcements went north, he first took the initiative to attack, leading [-] cavalry to defeat the siege army, and then used tricks to make the Jinzhang people kill each other, he is a wise and brave young man."

"The Jin army has about 4000 people. As the strongest army of the four tribes, the Tie Le tribe also has [-] soldiers. The number of string-controlling soldiers that can be assembled in Wangcheng should be around [-]. This is the force we have to face."

After listening to the military situation introduced by Mi Hong from Liuzhi Township, the eldest prince Tuoba Hao, who is also a young man, immediately begged for his life.

"Father, I am willing to attack Shule City as the front line, and decapitate Fu Maoxiu's son to you."

The eldest prince Tuoba Hao looks 24 and has a heroic appearance. He is almost like Tuoba Chide. He is the Maharaja's favorite son.

Tuoba Chide is very satisfied with the eldest son's request for a fight, Qingtang people must have courage, no matter what kind of opponent they face, they must have the determination to fight.

"Very good, Tuoba Hao, you will get a chance."

Tuoba Chide responded with a smile, of course it is impossible for him to let the eldest son go to attack the city as the front.

As the king of the country, he came to the front line in person, of course he wanted to win a vigorous victory.Even the mission of dispatching troops this time is to win, not Shule City, nor the rescue of Yuezhen Kingdom.

but a victory.

Right now, both Qingtang and Tuoba Chide need a victory.Qingtang lost two games in a row last year, and his morale was low. He needed a victory to cheer people up.And as a maharaja, he also needs a victory to increase his prestige and deter those tribes with different intentions.

Originally, the opponent could have many choices, but he finally chose Shule.

Because there are only partial divisions of the Jin State in Shule City, and most of the rest are the Tie Le tribe's vassal army.

In addition, whether it is sending troops to Longxi, or Qilian and Shazhou under Hexi Road, these targets need to be faced with the elite of the Jin army.

On the front line of Shule, there are only a few thousand Jin troops at present, and Qingtang dispatched [-] troops. With the absolute superiority of troops, and the presence of the Maharaja in person, the morale is high. Isn't it easy to win a victory?
Tuoba Chide stroked his slightly upturned beard with his hand, and squinted his eyes, because the surroundings of the building car were not covered by curtains in hot weather, so the line of sight was excellent.

A city several miles away appeared in his eyes.

Shule City.

How many lives are needed to open the gate of that city?

On the side of Shule City, all the strongholds such as the fortress and beacon towers in the south of the city have been abandoned, and the troops have shrunk and retreated into the city.

At this time, Guo Daifeng, Japu Huali, and several generals from the Tie Le tribe on the top of the city were looking at the banner of the Qingtang army to confirm which tribe they belonged to.

"The one with the eagle painted on the banner here is the Rendabu. Next to the Rendabu, the leopard head flag is the Nori family. It seems that the two flags should each have about ten thousand people. The flag by the river is the black yak flag, which should be A Qingtang royal family, I don’t know that it is the prince of the Tuoba family. The general flag in the middle is made by Qingyi. It is called the 'Fox of Qingtang'. Over there is Ximo's family, Ximolang is a steady soldier, but his younger brother Ximoming is a famous warrior in Qingtang, known as 'Bear of Qingtang'."

Japu Huali said, Guo Daifeng was watching here while holding a pen, and drew the general layout and the approximate number of people on a piece of silk.

After Guo Daifeng finished his painting, he threw away the comparison, "Whoever comes is not kind, and those who are kind don't come. This battle has been fought."

Japu Huali nodded and said: "Qingtang soldiers are in full swing, so it's hard to deal with them."

At this time, Fu Jinchuan, who heard the news, came to the city with a group of generals and personal guards, took the picture in Guo Daifeng's hand, and listened to the two talk about the situation of the Qingtang army in front of them.

"Not only is the majesty here in person, the Prime Minister of the country praises and defeats the army, but there is also a prince and two clan chiefs, who will be able to fight more than half of the time. What are the foxes of Qingtang, the bears of Qingtang, the people of Qingtang are so generous what."

After seeing the picture, Fu Jinchuan smiled contemptuously.

"You don't need to worry or be afraid. In my opinion, there are many tribes of Qingtang people, and they seem to be powerful, but they are just a mob, vulnerable. Last year in Baiting, how many people did we have?"

Fu Jinchuan asked suddenly.

"Two thousand. In fact, it was less than two thousand. In fact, it was more than 900. At that time, there were [-] crossbowmen from Guo Liulang and [-] tiger and cardinal servants from Mr. Lang, plus the more than [-] captured by my Baiting guard." people."

Shi Wannian, who had experienced the Battle of Baiting, reported these numbers like a few treasures.This is the biggest battle he has ever participated in. First, he followed Fu Jinchuan out of the city to defeat the enemy, and then pretended to be an Eagle Division to attack the Leopard Division. He won a complete victory.

"How many people were there in the Jinzhang at that time?" Fu Jinchuan continued to ask as if he had a bad memory.

This time it was Guo Daifeng who answered the call, "Three leopard divisions and three eagle divisions, a total of 6 people are similar to the Qingtang army in the city."

"Hahahaha, just 6 people came here to die?"

Fu Jinchuan smiled proudly.

"Hahahaha, what Mr. Lang said is that there are only 6 people in the area. Last year we only had 2000 people, and we were able to defeat the [-] army of the Golden Horde. Now we have [-] Jin troops in the city. There are more than ten thousand troops from the Tie Le tribe, are you still afraid of the Qingtang people? Hahahaha. Just about to capture the enemy chieftain alive, so that he can earn a marquis."

As soon as Shi Wannian released his bold words, the morale of everyone in the city was shaken.

Because including Jia Shixun and Japu Huali, they all participated in the battle of Baiting in person.

At that time, under the order of Xue Cong, Jia Shixun and Japu Huali both traveled day and night to Mingwei Garrison Fort to assemble.

After that, they joined forces, made some adjustments, and continued heading north to Baiting City.

Many people complained why they were in such a hurry, and they had no fighting power even after they arrived at Baiting City.

Others said that Xue Cong marched in a hurry to rescue Fu Jinchuan, after all, he was the son of the commander-in-chief.
But when they rushed to the vicinity of Baiting City, what greeted them was a great victory, a victory that had not been seen in more than ten years.

Tens of thousands were captured.

Many people understand that when they rushed over, the chances of victory had already been established, and their going was just icing on the cake, and all efforts were made in one battle.

After this battle, not to mention the elites who experienced the war together, even the Jin army in the entire Hexi Road, including the vassal department, mentioned Fu Sanlang with great admiration.

At least thousands of the Jin army and Fan army in the city participated in the Battle of Baiting, and they also faced 6 people.

The last time Fu Jinchuan had only 2000 people, he could still achieve a big victory.

This time there are nearly 2 people, and there are reinforcements from Guazhou and Yumen on the way. Do you still have to worry about the Qingtang people?

Thinking of this, everyone's fighting spirit and confidence seemed to be aroused by Fu Jinchuan's two questions.

Then Fu Jinchuan pointed in a direction under the city, and everyone followed suit.

"Look at these Qingtang people, how arrogant are they?"

The army outside the city stood facing north. In the west direction of the Qingtang army, only five or six miles away from the city, there was a small high slope. Even from a few miles away, it can be seen that it is an elite.

Every soldier is wearing heavy armor, and all of them look tall and tall, standing proudly, with swords in their waists, long spears and large shields in their hands. The noble man in white was pointing at Shule City, wondering what he was planning.

Qingtang people are still white, and those who can wear white clothes here must be Qingtang nobles. As for who it is, Fu Jinchuan doesn't know, and neither do Japu Huali and others. After all, it is about four or five miles away. It's hard to see.

But to be able to do such a behavior, he really didn't take the defenders of Shule city too seriously.

Even after the Qingtang army arrived at the city, the armies did not immediately organize a defense line and set up camp, but rested.Only a few teams of thousands of people were serving as a symbolic guard. It seemed that they were guarding the city, but they were more like dealing with it for their own people.

In their eyes, the city might be destroyed at a snap of their fingers.

This kind of contempt made Fu Jinchuan feel very complicated and excited, and a little annoyed that he decided to teach them a lesson in return.

"Shi Wannian, do you remember what happened under Baiting City?"

In Baiting City, Fu Jinchuan found that the archers in the city had no cavalry guards and no spears capable of repelling horses, so he immediately decided to make a cavalry assault.

But this time the behavior of the Qingtang people is similar to that of the Jinzhang people.

It is that they all expected that the advantage is mine, and the enemy will not go out of the city to fight.

Shi Wannian shouted loudly: "I will understand in the end."

"Beat the drum and blow the trumpet."

"Cavalry, gather troops."
