The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

At five o'clock, the sun rises and the sun rises.

The sky is getting brighter, and the world is slowly becoming clearer.

Xianyou Temple sleeps peacefully among the mountains and black waters, and the clouds and mists like veils slowly travel through the continuous mountains.

In Xianyou Temple, hundreds of fine cavalry have already assembled, standing on the open space of the temple, ready to go.

Wearing gray scarves and gray clothes, they stood on the ground, holding the reins and leading their respective horses, waiting quietly.

Gao Yingxiang is dressed in a plain robe, wearing a Fanyang hat, a hood inside, and a cyanotic armband on his arm. He rides on a white horse and stands in front of the main gate of Xianyou Temple.

A group of pro-guard cavalry wearing burqas and belts are separated on both sides.

"Ugh——"

Below the steps of the temple, the low and long sound of the horn echoed and circulated among the battalions.

Gao Yingxiang's order was to cook at the fourth watch and set off at the fifth watch.

The soldiers in the camp had already had breakfast and packed their luggage.

Gao Yingxiang raised his eyes to look at the valley mouth in the distance, there were a lot of people in the valley mouth, it was the scout cavalry he sent out to open the way for the army.

Although everything around was normal, Gao Yingxiang did not let down his vigilance because of this. Their situation looked good now, but it was like climbing on a cliff.

The trumpet sounded for a long time, and after three bursts, the hustle and bustle of people in Xianyou Temple finally calmed down and returned to peace.

"Wave the flag and blow the bugle."

Gao Yingxiang slightly raised his hand and gave orders.

"Ugh——"

The sound of the horn sounded from Gao Yingxiang's side, and this time the sound of the horn was much louder than the sound of the horn that gathered soldiers before.

The sound of the trumpets didn't last long. Because it was inconvenient to carry the war drums, Gao Yingxiang used different horns instead. Although it was a bit troublesome, there was no way around it.

It didn't take much time for the marching horn to set, and the gate of the northernmost camp was already opened.

They had to rush to the city of Xi'an within two days, and they had to travel a hundred miles in one day.

The soldiers who broke into the army are all marching on horses now.

This time, the soldiers who followed Gao Yingxiang out of Meridian were either fine cavalry or cavalry, not a single infantry or hungry soldier.

To put it bluntly, the horse troops in the Chuang army are infantry on horseback. Naturally, they don't want to save their horsepower now, as long as they can rush to the city of Xi'an.

Although Jingqi needs to save horsepower, and because of the reason of going out of Meridian Valley, there is no way for one person to have two horses or even three horses.

But at this time, the mule team used as logistics was completely empty at this time, and they were assigned to the queue of the elite cavalry in the army to carry armor for the elite cavalry.

In addition to some of the extra horses that were carried, as well as the war horses left by some dead and wounded soldiers, most of the elite cavalry can still be equipped with two horses.

The gate of the Beiying camp opened, followed by the sound of horns in response.

First, a large khaki flag was erected, and then more khaki flags were erected one after another.

While the horses were marching, the headwinds came.
The flags fluttered, and the tallest khaki-colored flag was swept by the gust of wind, revealing the big Chinese character "He" embroidered with black silk thread.

He Guoguang raised his head slightly, wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, gilded cloud-patterned armor, ring iron gauntlets on his arms, and a dark gold war skirt with fish scales, riding a tall horse with a long white mane on his forehead. Experience the green horse.

He Guoguang's eyes were burning hot, and he had already begun to calculate how much money he could win this time.

According to the previous arrangement for this battle, he was given the position of vanguard, and Gao Yingxiang allowed him to enter the city first.

It is said that the area that Gao Yingxiang assigned to him has many rich households and merchants, and it is definitely rich in lucrative water.

Although compared to the most affluent Prince Qin's Mansion in Xi'an, these oils and waters are nothing at all.

But He Guoguang is very aware of his own weight. Over the years, he has broken through several small counties by himself.

If there is no Gao Yingxiang, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to enter the city of Xi'an in this life.

He had never thought of becoming an emperor, but Gao Yingxiang's sentence "Everyone in today's tent is a prince!" moved his heart.

"Children!"

He Guoguang was in high spirits and shouted loudly.

"When Xijing is broken, we will become the Duke of the state, and each will be rewarded with a beautiful lady!"

He Guoguang's words naturally aroused the noise of the soldiers under his command.

Although his words were rude, the morale of the army gradually rose due to this.

As the vanguard, He Guoguang led more than a thousand fine cavalry and more than three thousand cavalry troops under his command, with one horse leading the way.

Immediately behind were the [-] fine cavalry led by the racing horse Chao Ma Yu, and more than [-] cavalry troops.

Gao Yingxiang led the main force in the middle, and there were still 2 elite cavalry and [-] horse troops.

Thousand Rooster Zhang Er and Zhuantian Harrier Wang Cheng each led hundreds of fine cavalry under their command, leading four or five thousand horse troops to the rear.

Coming out of the Tangluo Road all the way, the number of people in the team was quite serious.The original team of more than 1000 people now only has more than 9000 people left.

Some people fell on the Tangluo Road, and the other part was sick and weak due to the rain. There were almost a thousand people in this part, and they were all left in the Xianyou Temple to rest and recuperate.

9000 people and more than 4 horses and mules made a noise that alarmed the birds and beasts hidden in the forest valley and broke the silence of Heishuiyu.

The bird flew away from Lin Gaofei in fright, and the beast escaped from the territory with a low growl.

Facing groups of human beings holding weapons, no beast or bird of prey can muster up the courage to resist.

The momentum alone was enough to make the colorful tiger retreat and attract the birds in the sky to approach.

Chuangjun marched all the way north, if the muddy road did not absorb part of the sound, the momentum would have been even greater.

There is already a white belly floating among the continuous mountains in the east, and the earth is gradually becoming brighter.

The clouds and mist in the mountains are all together, and there is a black and yellow color in a moment
The road suddenly widened from the exit of Heishuiyu, and the vanguard detectives of the brigade rode their horses to gallop to the exit. They howled wildly, screamed strangely, and vented unscrupulously.

They have been suppressed in the Tangluo Road for too long, and they returned to the plain area again, how could they not be ecstatic.

What's more, waiting for them ahead is the unsuspecting city of Xi'an!

As long as you enter the city, you can have gold, silver, jewels, beauties and wives, everything!

They whizzed past the field and galloped all the way to the distance.

Their task is to explore the road for the follow-up army to ensure safety.

It's just that maybe they were too immersed in joy. They galloped across the fields on both sides of the official road, but they didn't realize that it was four miles north of the Heishuiyu Valley entrance.

Behind a hill full of trees and trees, there is a camp hidden.

Forest camp, in the tent of the Chinese army.

Sun Chuanting wears a crimson official uniform inside, a pointed iron helmet on his head, adorned with a red tasseled moon flag on the top, a double-breasted fish-scale waist armor, and a vermilion battle skirt woven with fish-scale brocade. He sits in front of the first seat in the tent.

In the tent, the Chinese guerrilla Li Yingke and other guerrillas were on guard. The generals of the Chinese army stood in the tent with their helmets on, waiting for Sun Chuanting's order.

"The front part of the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry has already left the valley and galloped to the northeast, but we have not found our camp."

The soldiers who reported the letter kept walking into the account, reporting information outside the account.

"Explore again."

Sun Chuanting replied calmly, and the soldiers who reported the letter bowed their heads and hurried out of the tent.

"Before the good opportunity arrives, don't be impatient."

There was silence in the tent again, all the generals and school were speechless, they all stood by their swords, and their hearts sank again.

……

"The rear of the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry has already left the valley. After investigating the nearest one, we are still two miles away from our camp and turned back."

……

"The vanguard of the enemy army has entered the valley, and all the enemy are riding horses, and the soldiers are light and simple. The follow-up brigade cannot be seen at a glance, and the number must be at least ten thousand."

……

"The flag of the vanguard cavalry team is earthy yellow, and the word 'he' is written on the flag when we examine it closely. It should be the subordinates of He Guoguang, King of Shuntian."

……

"The Rogue Pioneer Brigade has left Yukou, and the follow-up second battalion has entered Yukou. The second Battalion of Rogue is the troops under the command of Ma Chao Ma Yu..."

The wind was blowing and howling outside the tent, the hearts of all the generals inside the tent were already affected by it, and their inner mood was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

It's just that Sun Chuanting didn't issue a military order, so no one dared to ask for action.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and all the soldiers in the tent were holding their breath in their hearts, feeling that their days were like years.

The sound of footsteps outside the tent came into the tent again, and the footsteps of the soldiers who reported the message became heavier each time, and this time the footsteps were several minutes faster than the previous few times.

All the generals and schools of the Ming army in the tent turned their heads and looked sideways, looking outside the tent.

The soldier who reported the letter didn't even report it this time, but directly crashed into the tent of the Chinese army. After entering the tent, the soldier half knelt on the ground and said anxiously.

"The vanguard of the rogues, He Guoguang, walked quickly along the official road to the northeast, and the Ma Yu's brigade has already left the valley..."

"At the exit of Yukou, we saw the banner of the enemy chief Gao Yingxiang!"

"Nowadays, there are thieves in gray turbans and gray clothes everywhere in Yukou!"

Shock flashed in Sun Chuanting's eyes, and he stood up abruptly.

All the generals and schools in the tent turned their heads together and looked at Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting walked like a dragon and a tiger, showing his power and power, he pulled out the sword at his waist resolutely, and said with emotion.

"The world is stable, this battle!"

"Beat the drum! March!!!"

……

"Chuangwang, is there something wrong?"

Liu Zhe led his horse forward a little, approaching Gao Yingxiang.

Gao Yingxiang frowned at this time, his expression was gloomy, and he was completely different from other people in peacetime, that's why Liu Zhe asked this question.

"It's not right here..."

Gao Yingxiang looked around Yukou, feeling a chill in his heart.

When he just walked to the valley, the uneasiness that had disappeared had surged into his heart again, and when he looked at the dense forests and hills on both sides, it was even more difficult to suppress the fear in his heart.

"Wang Shuntian and Sai Machao have already passed through the valley with their men and horses, and the detectives have also checked the surroundings, and found nothing wrong."

Liu Zhe looked hesitant. He looked around and found nothing wrong.

"Chuangwang..."

Gao Yingxiang looked gloomy, he didn't know what Liu Zhe said, but he just felt that everything around him was not right, completely different from his usual feeling.

Just as Gao Yingxiang was thinking, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the distance.

Not long after, the sound of thunder rolled from the sky.

"Boom--"

Gao Yingxiang subconsciously glanced at the dark sky not far away, and then his face changed suddenly.

"The Chinese army is sounding the trombone!"

Gao Yingxiang raised his whip and roared angrily.

"There is a burial..."

It's just that Gao Yingxiang hadn't called out the word "Fu" for ambush, and there was a burst of explosive noise that was a little lower than the sound of thunder.

He was familiar with that loud noise, he had heard it countless times during the many years of fighting!
That's the sound of the defensive artillery used on the city wall in the state capital - the fire cannon! .

Gao Yingxiang's hairs stood on end, and he followed the sound to look to the north.

In the middle of the mountainside, clusters of flames and gunpowder smoke have already risen from the forest.

Gao Yingxiang's eyes were red, and the chill rose from the tailbone to the sky.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and his limbs were unstoppably cold.

He should have thought of it earlier, he should have thought of it tomorrow! !

The soldiers marched and came all the way, the animals in the Heishui Valley moved wildly, the birds circled around and dared not return to the forest, but outside the valley mouth, there was a dead silence between the two mountains.

No movement of animals was heard, nor was there any bird in flight—there must be ambushes among the woodlands.

His choice of surprise attack on Xi'an in this move did not deceive the Ming army, but instead made the scouts he sent to scout the front take it lightly, thinking that there was no Ming army around, so I am afraid they did not go too deep.

It was this careless move that prevented them from noticing the ambushes around them.

"boom----"

The cannonball flew towards him, and the pupils in Gao Yingxiang's eyes suddenly dilated, and he saw several soldiers of the cavalry marching in front of him being smashed to the ground instantly.

Blood mist splashed out, and the pungent stench filled the entire valley in an instant.

Gao Yingxiang's eyes were about to burst, and he roared angrily.

"Sing the trombone!"

This time, his roar finally made the guards under his command react as they should.

"Woo——————"

The low-pitched sound of the horn blared over Yukou.

The trumpet sounded for a long time, but for the whole battle situation, the trumpet sound of this life was just futile...

The marching soldiers didn't even have time to understand what was going on. They never thought that they would encounter an ambush.

Although Gao Yingxiang's reaction was already very fast, but because of the sudden order, the guards who were in charge of blowing the horn did not react.

When the trumpets finally sounded, the rapid and vigorous drums of the Ming army had already sounded.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Accompanied by the sound of war drums, there was the sound of horseshoes as loud as thunder.

"kill!!!"

Just between the hills and mountains on both sides, a large number of banners were suddenly raised, and the sound of shouting and killing like a tsunami roared in an instant.

A group of soldiers marching on the official road all looked terrified.

In their line of sight, thousands of cavalrymen of the Ming army in red clothes and iron armor were galloping down from a high place at this moment, heading towards them like a mountain and a sea! ! !
