Fufeng Song

The originally peaceful Jinyang City suddenly boiled up!

The drums and horns of the military camps sounded again and again; many messengers with flags on their backs flew back and forth; groups of soldiers who were ordered to return to the construction ran on the streets of Jinyang City.The officers in full armor and full armor scolded the soldiers who moved a little slower, while the civilian officials and officials began to count and recruit young men from house to house.

Half an hour later, Ding Miao led hundreds of cavalry, each with a strong bow and sword, and swept out like a whirlwind.Ding Miao's cavalry is the essence of the Jinyang Army. They are not only brave and good at fighting, but also ready for battle at any time. Therefore, they led the entire army forward and dispatched immediately.

Together with Ding Miao, Lu Yao and his subordinate cavalrymen also set off.All the cavalry under Lu Yao came from the rest of the Bingzhou army. They not only had rich experience in fighting the Huns, but also were familiar with the geographical environment of Bingzhou.Therefore, Liu Kun specially sent him Ding Miao's second deputy to be the vanguard of the whole army.

In the evening of that day, Ding Miao and Lu Yao's 500 infantrymen lit pine torches and left the city overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, the main force of the Jinyang Army set off.

General Yamen Xing Yan led two thousand troops.Zhechong General Lu Bosheng led the left army, Pian General Han occupied the right army, Bingzhou Governor and Zhenwei General Liu Kun led the Central Army, Pang Chun, Huang Su, Zhang Yi, Han Shu, Pan Shu, Hao Yan, Gao Hu, etc. The general will accompany you.Liu Kun has gathered all the generals and famous generals gathered in the north and south of the river since the second year of Yongkang.

General Liu Yan was in charge of the military and civilian supplies, and finally set off.

The whole army has a total of [-] soldiers and [-] civilians.Deducting the small number of garrison troops guarding Jinyang led by the guard general Linghu Sheng, and the troops guarded by the Hengye General Long Jimeng guarding the Shangdang, this is the limit of the Jinyang army's troops.

The enemy army they faced was the Xiongnu army led by Da Shanyu Liu Yuan himself and accompanied by countless strong soldiers and generals. It was initially estimated that there were no less than [-] people.Every soldier knows that this upcoming battle is a life-and-death battle for the Jinyang Army; although there is a huge difference in numbers, it is a battle that must be won by the few!

When the main force of the Jinyang Army was still preparing for departure, Ding Miao led his cavalry team and galloped all the way.Seeing that it was getting dark and gradually he could not see the road clearly, Ding Miao sent an order to get off his horse and take a rest.The soldiers had to wipe the sweat and feed the horses first; then they could simply eat some dry food.

At this moment, they have left Jinyang for nearly a hundred miles.Further to the east is Daling County, and two miles to the south is Zhaoyuqi.Zhaoyuqi, also known as Jiuze, is composed of a series of lakes and swamps such as Jinze, Dongguoze, Wuze, and Qisou. It is one of the world-renowned huge lakes since ancient times. Autumn" and other books are recorded.Its water surface starts from the territory of Wu County in the south and reaches Qi County in the north. It is long from north to south and narrow from east to west, with a radius of more than [-] li.

The official road from Jinyang to Jiexiu is divided into two roads here, all the way along the east bank of Zhaoyuqi, from Qixian County to Wuxian County via Jingling, Zhongdu; Entering the mountainous area, the terrain is complex and changeable, which is not suitable for the march of large troops.The other road is along the west bank of Zhaoyuqi, from Daling via Pingtao, Zishi to Wuxian; this road is close to the Luliang Mountains, and the terrain is relatively flat.The two official roads are blocked by the vast lake and a large number of swamps and wetlands.

Ding Miao immediately dispatched his capable subordinates: the four brothers Ding Yu, Ding Jin, Ding Ce, and Ding Fu each led elite scouts to reconnaissance on both sides of the strait.These four people are compatriots from the same mother, and they are the children of the Ding clan in Qiaoguo. The names of the four people are very strange. The person who named them may very much admire the two handsome young men who swept across Jiangdong.It's a pity that these four people are not handsome young men, but four burly men with ferocious faces and as tall as a pagoda.

The four led the troops and left, while Ding Miao climbed to a high place by the lake to have a look.Under the faint starlight, the vast lake surface has the same color as the sky and water, and the edge cannot be seen.Large areas of withered and yellow reeds by the lake fell down, and many new stubbles of reeds had already sprouted their heads.

Someone came slowly behind him, and the dry reeds were crackling.

Ding Miao turned back and waved: "Brother Daoming, your subordinates are really good at riding!"

The cavalry led by Ding Miao is the first-class elite in the Jinyang Army, and they have experienced many battles.When Yue Shigong Qingjun joined the Shangdang, there were only a few hundred people accompanying him, and Ding Miao's cavalry was the only one with a complete organization.Most of the heavy cavalry that defeated the enemy's front in the Battle of Banqiao were Ding Miao's subordinates.

The Ding clan is a big clan in the Qiao Kingdom, and most of these cavalrymen are clan tribes brought out by Ding Miao from his hometown, and many of them are even in Ding Miao's five uniforms.Therefore, these soldiers are used to having their eyes higher than the top, and they even walk sideways on weekdays.In their view, the cavalry under Lu Yao's subordinates were nothing more than veterans who had lost countless battles in the Bingzhou Army, and they didn't take them seriously.

And Lu Yao's subordinates believed that they were veterans who had fought fiercely with the Huns for many years, and they also didn't take Ding Miao's cavalry seriously.The two sides didn't see each other along the way, if the two main generals didn't get along well, I'm afraid something would have happened.

The soldiers on both sides fought and galloped uninterruptedly for a long distance from noon to night.Such hard work, even warriors with excellent equestrian skills may not be able to bear it all.Several soldiers in Ding Miao's subordinates had stiff legs, and with the help of their companions, they could get off their horses with gritted teeth and mouths; on the other hand, Lu Yao's subordinates all acted as if nothing had happened.After all, the northerners are good at bowing horses, which makes people have to admire.

"This is the so-called survival after a hundred battles, there must be something to save your life." Lu Yao smiled and said, "Brothers were driven by the barbarians to run around all over the mountains and plains a few months ago. Those who are not good at riding have already become under the sword The ghost also."

While talking, Lu Yao handed over a helmet, which contained a few softly baked pancakes.

Suddenly there was a sound of hurried hoofbeats in the distance. According to the sound, about three or five horsemen were riding on the road overnight, coming from the south at a fast speed.The sentinel cavalry immediately outflanked the past, and brought back three bloody Jin army cavalry after a while.All three had injuries of varying severity.One of them had his left arm broken up to his shoulder, and his vest was hit by an arrow again, and he seemed to be on the verge of death.The horses they rode were also foaming at the mouth, and they seemed to be in danger of dying at any moment.

"Hu Lan, is that you?" Ding Miao recognized the first knight.This person's name is Hu Lan, and he is the deputy of Tian Hao, the guard of Wu County.So everyone came forward to help them off their horses one after another, and some people brought herbs, hot soup and other things, and there was a lot of fuss.

What Hu Lan brought was not good news. Under the onslaught of the Xiongnu army, Wu County fell after only two hours. Five hundred defenders of the city and more than a thousand people died. Only three people.In addition, when the Xiongnu attacked Wu County, they hung up the head of the defender of Zhongdu to show the public, and Hu Lan could see it clearly.This certificate has also been lost!Wu County and Zhongdu are two counties in the north of Jiexiu. These two counties were destroyed by the Huns. What will happen to Jiexiu?

After Hu Lan and the others drank the soup, ate some food, and took basic care of their injuries, Ding Miao sent two cavalry to escort them along the way and continue to Jinyang.

Looking back, I saw that the atmosphere in the camp was rather dull.Ding Miao didn't say much, grabbed the half-bitten pancake and continued to chew, saying: "The barbarians are really hateful! This time I must give them a hard time, and vent my anger for the brothers!"

As if he felt that just talking about it was not enough, Ding Miao shouted and punched in front of him, left a fist, right a palm, and added a heart-warming kick, as if the front was not the air, but the Xiongnu Da Shan Yu Liu. deep.

Lu Yao watched Ding Miao fidget with a smile on his face.This first-class warrior under Yue Shigong's command killed people without blinking an eye, as ferocious and terrifying as a beast; but in front of his colleagues, he really seemed a bit childish.In the eyes of this young warrior, there never seemed to be any difficulties or dangers.

Although the current situation is indeed dangerous, Ding Miao's confident appearance is just enough to boost morale.

In the narrow basin environment of the Taiyuan Kingdom, both sides lack room for maneuvering, and can only use a head-on confrontation to determine the outcome.Although the Huns have the advantage in military strength, the Jin army has the brave Yue Shigong and his subordinates!When the two armies meet, the brave wins, Yue Shigong will definitely find a solution!Lu Yao stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, beating his chest lightly, also pulling himself together.

As soon as dawn broke the next day, everyone packed up and set out.

Although Lu Yao and Ding Miao are the vanguard of the whole army, they divide the east and the west. <When the cold weather is cold, there are large pieces of river ice flowing down the Fen River; the original ferry has been abandoned, and the only way to cross the river is to swim.Fortunately, at this time, the snow in the upper reaches of the mountains has not melted, and the flood season has not yet arrived. The river flow is very slow and the water surface is not too wide.The soldiers stripped naked, tied up their armor and other things, put them on the horses, and then led the horses and jumped into the icy river.

Ding Miao watched from the bank of the river until Lu Yao and his men crossed the river safely, then waved goodbye.All the soldiers knew in their hearts that this trip was really bloody, and they didn't know how many people from the two groups would be able to return to Jinyang safely, so some people were emotional when they parted.
