My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 92 General Shenweitian

The Xirong are a migratory grassland people with strong predatory nature. Their footprints can be seen all over the prairie of more than 3000 miles in the north. Their footprints can be seen as far north as glacial lakes and as far west as deserts.

During periods of heavy snow and famine, they not only plundered the countries connecting the borders, but also plundered other weak tribes on the grasslands, killing men and children, and taking away women with childbearing value.

The bitter cold environment created their predatory nature, and they showed no mercy to women, children and the elderly.

It has been 17 years since they last entered the Yan Kingdom. This time, they set foot on this land again instead of their fathers.

On the morning of April [-]th, in Yunqi County, there were pillars of smoke rising from all directions. The Xirong cavalry that entered the territory turned into several torrents from north to south, combing the land. But for the city, they directly chose Bypass.

Then, they entered undefended villages and towns, set fire to them, looted them, drove the people inside into the wilderness, chased them and massacred them.If the number of soldiers and horses attracted by Rongzhou is small, they will hunt them up and divide them from all directions to weaken the morale of the infantry. Then they will launch a charge and scatter the small groups of soldiers and horses one by one. They will collapse and run in the wilderness. Then chase them from behind and enjoy the thrill of chasing your prey.

When the fireworks warning sounded, Le Jin stood at the head of Changchuan County and watched a group of Xirong cavalry pursue them. Li Dian led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to help the pursued people hide in the city.

Facing the spear formation, these Xirong cavalry stopped chasing and turned south to leave. This was also a cavalry tactics evolved from their accustomed survival strategy.Once a large group of soldiers and horses in the city come out to intercept, they will tacitly form several groups, disperse, and continue to spread to the surrounding areas. They will burn and kill the surrounding villages and towns, and continue to spread southward.

The day before April [-]th, the news of the entry of the Xirong people had been sent to Ding'an City. After receiving the news, Xun Yu called Guo Jia and then spread the news to the military camp.

Then almost all the government officials in the city were sent to evacuate all the craftsmen in the workshops in the western suburbs to the city. Guo Jia took the map and asked people to invite the county lieutenant Chen Luoping to mark several water sources on the map.

"Cut the source, turn living water into stagnant water, buy a batch of pigs and sheep, kill them and throw them into the water."

Chen Luoping is no longer what he used to be. He has transformed from a local gang into a county captain in Ding'an City, and his gang of minions have also become county soldiers.

He knew that the person in front of him and the person inside were both people whom the general relied heavily on. Even if he had doubts in his heart, he would not question them. Instead, he reminded in a low voice: "Guo Jijiu, this is not for the people of Xirong to see. They are definitely I don’t know how to drink…”

"Just let them see it." Guo Jia asked him to come closer and whispered in his ear: "Remove people from nearby villages and poison the wells. Then dig new wells for them!"

"Ok!"

Chen Luoping nodded, immediately took his iron rod and turned around to leave. When he left the Yamen, he whispered: "It's really poisonous..."

On the other side, the news spread to the Bingzhou Military Camp in the southeast. The person who received the news was Gao Shun. He glanced at the note recording the news. He asked the [-] soldiers in training to continue, dragging their cloaks and turned around to walk towards the Chinese Army Camp. At this time, the camp Most of them were empty. The [-] troops merged with the state army, but Zhang Liao took away [-]. The deputy generals Niu Gai and Xu Qinghu went to conquer several counties in Gulang County in the south. Quan was supposed to be training troops.

And Lu Bu was riding outside with three thousand people to practice the endurance of long-distance running and the skills of saving energy on horseback.Riding, shooting, and horse control are also taught while running.

These were all learned when he invaded the south from Xianbei.

When they came to the big tent, they were surrounded by the commanding cavalry who were resting. They generally did not participate in training, and most of them were waiting around the handsome tent. Gao Shun came with several personal guards, and they all stood up and stood still.

"Quickly notify General Lu and bring him the news. Tell him there is no need to come back and just kill him!"

Gao Shun handed the message in his hand to a commanding cavalryman, who got on his horse and ran out of the camp gate, straight to the place where General Lu often trained his cavalry.

Watching Ling Qi leave, Gao Shun returned to the tent and looked at the two tokens placed on the long table in the tent. He went straight over and picked up one, which was left by Zhang Liao before he conquered Gu Lang.

Since it is given to him, it will definitely be put to use.All of his men were infantry and couldn't help, so... the token in Gao Shun's hand was thrown to the ground.

……

The fast horse galloped for twenty miles. At the foot of the southeastern mountain, a figure with an animal face and a swallowing head and a chain of armor rode a big red horse. He watched condescendingly as three thousand cavalry divided into five groups ran back and forth on the gentle slope.

This was his own way of training troops. Back then, Bingzhou had many mountain roads and steep slopes. The elite cavalry that followed him in Bingzhou were trained in such an environment.

When the order came over, it was already noon. All the riders dismounted and were resting. They saw the fast horses running to the foot of the mountain, and the order soldiers jumping on their horses and running up on foot.

"Have you seen it? If the commander can control the horse uphill and keep its momentum, it can save more than ten breaths." As he spoke, the commander came over and presented the news to Lu Bu. He glanced at it and said with a smile He grinned slightly and said, "Xirong?"

He threw the note to the ground, turned around and looked at the resting soldiers over there.

As the cloak moved, his voice resounded: "Mount the horse!"

The figures who were sitting on the ground instinctively got up from the ground, rushed to the horses next to them, turned over, and there was a loud roar.

Lu Bu walked towards the red horse, turned over, pulled up the painted halberd on the ground, and brought up a piece of mud. His silent eyes contained the murderous intention of burying thousands of bones.

"Follow me, your spears and steel knives should be stained with blood!"

The next second, the voice shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

Howling!
The crimson war horse stood upright. The moment Xichuan's red brocade hundred-flowered robe unfolded in the wind, the horse's hooves fell down and ran out with a swish. The figure on the horse said in a high-pitched voice: "Let those barbarian cavalry on the grassland see what they are doing." It’s Wolf Rider!”

The mighty three thousand cavalrymen, carrying guns and holding reins, rushed down the gentle slope with countless horse hooves making a dull sound, and then surged across the plain like a sea tide, densely chasing the armored and halberd-holding men in front. The figure headed north.

...time returns to its origin.

The Xirong cavalry coming from the north divided into several groups and entered the Ding'an area, galloping between several official roads.

Business travelers coming and going here had already received the notice yesterday and left the place in a panic overnight. People in nearby villages were also forced by county soldiers and government officials to flee with their families and families to the city, or hide in the mountains.

Xie Cheya, who had fought several battles in Yunqi County, and a thousand Xirong cavalry, stopped at a village at the foot of the mountain and looked at the empty houses with some discomfort.

However, he had expected this. It was impossible for the people here not to know about the burning and killing all the way south.

"But so what!"

He asked his warriors to fill their water bags, remount their horses, and continue to advance south. He used the same tactics as before, sweeping the villages along the way and driving away the Yan people. Often, people who were reluctant to leave their homes and fields were forced out and ran away crying in fear. In the wilderness.

The Xirong cavalry, who were laughing ferociously, hung far behind. The cavalry, which also became fierce, mounted up and fired arrows to kill a few civilians who fell behind, causing the fleeing team to cry even more pitifully and loudly.

Burning black smoke rose in the wilderness and was blown diagonally across the sky by the wind.

Occasionally, you can see corpses lying in pools of blood on the roads and in the fields. There is still a smell of burnt smell floating in the wind. The figure on horseback slightly raised his face, and the sun shone on his face, which was as handsome as jade. The white tassel on the lion's helmet swayed, and a huge iron spear hung diagonally on the ground in his hand.

Far and near, panicked and pitiful cries came.

He turned his horse around, and saw the crowd rushing toward the road in panic. The old man was being supported by his relatives and was walking tremblingly. He accidentally fell to the ground, and his wife who was supporting him struggled to pull him; the man holding the child was holding the child in his arms. The crowd was hiding, and the children lying on their shoulders were crying and looking behind in fear; there were also panicked young people who stumbled out of the crowd and ran towards the wilderness. A light horse came running behind them, and they drew their bows and shot an arrow. The man's back.

Seeing the figure fall, the cavalryman wearing a fur coat laughed loudly at his companions behind him. The next second, there was a whistling sound caused by the air. The laughing Xirong man instantly flew out from the horse and landed on the ground. , an arrow suddenly penetrated more than half of his chest.

The laughter of the Xirong people around them suddenly stopped.

Xie Cheya took two steps out on horseback. In his eyes, a figure riding a black horse and wearing silver armor was walking backwards past the fleeing crowd towards them with a gun.

Along the way south, it is not that there are no powerful generals. Usually they do not fight each other and their soldiers head-on. However, now there is only one person on the other side, and he shoots arrows to provoke them.

Xie Cheya grinned, revealing yellow teeth, and slowly raised a hand.

Several knights immediately rushed out around him. They were all warriors of the tribe who were fighting against each other ten times. They also performed extremely fiercely on the way south. Facing a Yan general, they excitedly raised their scimitars or raised their spears.

I don't know if the man opposite was frightened, but he didn't move the horse yet, but just walked slowly.

"Huh!"

Qi Qi let out a ferocious cry, and immediately sped up and rushed towards the opponent, holding out their blades and spears one after another.

The white tassel was caressing, and the face under the lion helmet was raised. For a moment, his eyes were focused, and he suddenly grabbed the spear that was being stabbed. With the other hand, he threw the thick spear in his hand, directly hitting the Xirong cavalry in front of him who was wielding the sword. The nail flew out, and he pulled the spear with his left arm. He turned the spear handle with his backhand, and the spear head roared, smashing the head of the Xirong man who had missed him.

The spear flew out again and knocked away the third Xirong man on horseback. The figure in white robes and silver armor suddenly touched the horse's belly with his feet, and the horse galloped up with a roar, facing the fourth man. The long sword at the waist was unsheathed, and the sword light drew a bleeding line from the opponent's waist. Almost at the same time, he stretched out his right hand and pulled out the big gun inserted in the chest of the second Xirong.

In an instant, he threw the gun, grabbed the gun, and drew the sword in one go.

The single-handed figure, with a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, galloped on horseback and passed directly through the remaining three Xirong cavalry. The moment the horses crossed each other, the big guns seemed to be dancing like dragons and snakes, and sword lights were everywhere.

Blood, flesh, and fur coats are torn and splattered

In just one breath, the war horse rushed out of the three people, and the three figures fell directly from the horse's back, dragging blood lines.

"You barbarians——"

The hooves of the horses that were galloping wildly dug up layers of soil, and the black horses rushed towards more Xirong cavalry like lightning. The sound resounded from the figure running towards them with a spear in one hand and a long sword in the other.

"——You can recognize Xiliang Jinmachao!"

Ahead, Xie Chaya in front of a thousand Xirong cavalry couldn't help but trembled. His eyes showed panic, and he waved his scimitar to let the warriors behind him kill him.

Under the sky, lion helmets and tassels were floating. One man and one horse, dragging a long dust smoke, directly faced the thousands of cavalry who were attacking.

——General Shenwei Tian!

On the road, the fleeing crowd turned around, and in the sky, a single-handed figure penetrated ferociously into the Xirong cavalry.

The sounds of bones being smashed and flesh being torn were crazy.
