The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 270

Jishan Pass is located in the south of Anzhou and the north of Huazhou.A ridge mountain range about [-] miles long lies across the two states, and it becomes the boundary between the two states.Jishan Pass was in the period of the former Chaotian Holy Empire. Because Anzhou fell under the control of the grassland people, this pass became an important pass of the empire, resisting the threat from the northern nomads.But during the Tianqi Empire period, the Central Plains Dynasty finally regained the land of Anzhou and pushed the northern line of defense to the Hengshan area.This made the role of Jishan Pass weaker and weaker. In the Tianwu Dynasty, there were only a thousand troops stationed at Jishan Pass.

The pass has long been dilapidated due to disrepair for a long time. If the Golden Werewolf hadn't delayed a little time in Anzhou last year when the Werewolf went south, giving Jishan Pass a chance to renovate, I'm afraid Huazhou would have been ravaged by the Werewolf a long time ago. It's out of shape.

Later, after the Golden Werewolf retreated in Anzhou, rebels grew everywhere.Because Huazhou dispatched a large number of soldiers and horses to King Jingqin, it was impossible to recover the lost land in time, which made the rebels grow bigger, and turned from defense to offense, aggressively attacking Jishan Pass.In order to resist the invasion of the rebels in Anzhou, the Huazhou state government had to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in Jishan Pass, which was able to block the rebels' advance.

Now, the defenders of Jishan Pass finally have hope, and the Wang Shi they have been looking forward to has finally come.

Outside the Jishan Pass, an endless Kuroshio surged out on the flat ground, covering the vast land, slowly moving northward little by little.After a while, I saw pieces of flags waving, covering the sky and the sun.Countless spears stood like a forest, and the cold light shone in the sun.As they got closer, only the noisy roar came from the army formation, and the ground trembled slightly in front of them.Finally, when the army marched ten miles away from the Jishan Pass, they heard a low-pitched horn sound from the sky and the earth, tearing the sky.The army was suddenly still, and the flying cavalry was ordered to scatter and gallop in all directions, and an order was sent to the entire army to set up camp.

After a while, a group of thousands of soldiers and horses came out of the army formation and rushed towards Jishan Pass. In front of it, a Cao character flag fluttered in the wind and appeared in front of the guards.

When the master of Jishan Pass saw the flag, his face changed drastically, and he immediately ordered his left and right sides, "Quickly, open the gate and welcome Cao Shuai to enter the pass!"

The closed door suddenly opened wide, and the gatekeeper will rush out earlier, and walk out of the gate.

"The last general, Shi Geng, pays homage to the commander-in-chief."

Cao Ziyan drove his horse, looked down at him, and smiled slightly, "General Shi, please get up."

"Thank you, Marshal." Shi Geng stood up happily, with a look of joy on his face, "Marshal, you must have been exhausted from the long journey with the generals, and the last general has already arranged a banquet in Guanzhong to clean up the dust for you adults. "

"Haha, General Shi has a heart." Cao Ziyan looked at him appreciatively and nodded, "Since it's your intention, then we have no choice but to extend our hospitality. Everyone, let's go."

Entering the pass, under Shi Geng's arrangement, everyone swept away the fatigue of the recent march, and ate a lot of wine.

Cao Ziyan sat in the main seat. After drinking with everyone for three rounds, he squinted his eyes and looked at Shi Geng with a slightly drunk look, "General Shi, our army has arrived here now, and we are about to enter Anzhou to suppress the rebellion. Are you here?" The guard should be very clear about the situation in the north, can you tell us something?"

"Don't dare to be a general to inquire. The general has fought against Li Yuan's rebels at Jishan Pass for more than half a year, and they really know each other a little bit." Shi Geng's face showed a serious expression, "Commander, all generals, that rebel Li Yuan Occupying the land of the three counties in the south of Anzhou, with [-] soldiers. But according to what the general saw, its strength is not too strong. With [-] soldiers, our Jishan Pass firmly blocked [-] to [-] of them. The only thing to worry about is his [-] cavalry, which makes people have to guard against it."

"Oh, [-] cavalry?" Cao Ziyan's face changed slightly, "I didn't expect that there were [-] cavalry in the mere rebels entrenched in a corner, and now our army has only [-] cavalry. General Shi, but I don't know the cavalry of this thief. What is the combat power?"

"This?" Shi Geng scratched his head in embarrassment, "Marshal Qi, our army has not yet fought against cavalry, so we don't know."

"Don't worry, Marshal, how can a mere traitor be trained as a cavalry soldier if he has only been established for a year?" Gan Zongwang, who was drinking at the side, put down his glass and sneered, "Among the [-] cavalry in our army, there are only [-] elite cavalrymen. And these [-] elites have been trained for three years before they have the current combat power. Then Li Ni suddenly rose up, his foundation is shallow, and his cavalry can only be regarded as flamboyant at best. How can he be the opponent of our army's cavalry?"

"Well, General Gan is right." Cao Ziyan nodded in agreement, looked at Shi Geng and said, "General Shi, I think that Li Ni is nothing to worry about. Our army will go north and we will be able to wipe him out in one fell swoop. There is no need to worry. .”

"You must not be careless, Commander." Shi was even more anxious, and quickly stood up, "Even if Li Ni is nothing to worry about, we have to guard against the Hengshan Army behind him. The Hengshan Army is united and wants to fight against the Heavenly Soldiers together."

"Hengshan Army? Lin Yifan!" Cao Ziyan's face darkened, he tightly held the wine glass in his hand, looked up at Shi Geng, and said coldly, "You mean the Hengshan Army has already gone south?"

"Yes." Shi Geng was sweating slightly on his forehead, and looked at him with trepidation, "According to the report of our military spies, the Hengshan Army has indeed gone south. According to the spies' report, the Hengshan Army has [-] cavalrymen and [-] people accompanying them. strong."

"Hiss!" Everyone gasped, and their faces changed drastically.

"You, what are you talking about? Twenty thousand, twenty thousand cavalry?" Gan Zongwang's face changed several times, and finally he couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, General Shi, are you joking? How can such a small place like Hengshan be formed?" A huge group of cavalry? Even if our imperial court wants to form a cavalry of ten thousand people, it will cost countless money and food to barely maintain it. He, how can he get so much money and food in Hengshan to form such a huge cavalry?"

"Yes, this is impossible at all, General Shi must be joking." Everyone expressed their disbelief.

"Shut up." Cao Ziyan looked at Shi Geng coldly with a livid face, "General Shi, are you serious?"

"Mo, the general dare not lie to the commander in chief. This, this is indeed the information obtained by our military spies." Shi Geng broke out in cold sweat and explained aggrievedly.

"Hmph, Lin Yifan, it seems that I underestimated you again." Cao Ziyan hated in his heart, "Even if you have 20 cavalry, so what, I am now leading an army of [-] to go north, and your [-] cavalry is by no means mine. Opponent. This time, I must completely defeat you and let you die without a place to bury you."

After seeing Shi Geng's guarantee, everyone's expressions finally turned serious. If it was just Li Ni's five thousand cavalry, they would not have taken it seriously.But now we have to face [-] cavalry, even though the combat power of this cavalry may be the same as Li Ni's cavalry.That is not what the eight thousand cavalry of the imperial court can defeat. Depending on their numbers, it is entirely possible to submerge the eight thousand cavalry of the imperial court under the iron hoof.

"Hahaha!" Just when everyone was in a panic, Cao Ziyan burst into laughter, looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, we were almost deceived by them. How could a small Hengshan train such a huge cavalry? As far as I know, there are only a million people in Hengshan, and they only occupy Weiyuan County and Hengshan. Feeding the cavalry? In my opinion, the vast majority of the 20 cavalry must have been pretending to be cavalry, using infantry as cavalry to intimidate us. Do you guys still remember the rumored story of the Hengshan soldiers coming to Jing’an City? It is a trick of using infantry as cavalry to intimidate and blackmail Li Ni. This time, they must also use this method to deceive us, so that we will not dare to act rashly. Hmph, it is a pity that he still does not understand that our army has [-] Wan Dajun, even if the [-] cavalry are real, what are you afraid of?"

"That's right, what the commander said is right." Gan Zongwang slapped his thigh and suddenly said, "We are commanding an army of 20, so what can we do with a mere [-] cavalry? As long as the army pays attention to defense, advances slowly, and fights steadily, it will be fine." The cavalry will not be given an opportunity. When we reach Hengshan, we will be able to force this cavalry to fight us head-on, and then we will wipe out this cavalry in one fell swoop and completely wipe out the remnants of Hengshan."

"That's right, with the commander-in-chief leading our army, why worry about not being able to put down the rebellion, mere rebels are nothing."

"As soon as the commander-in-chief comes out, the gang of thieves retreat, and as soon as the master Wang arrives, Xiao Xiao will give the head."

. . . . .

Everyone flattered and flattered Cao Ziyan one after another, and almost praised Cao Ziyan as the god of war who is astonishing in the past and the present.

But at this moment, although Cao Ziyan had a confident and indifferent smile on his face, there was a serious look in his eyes.
