Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 346
In the Taiyuan Palace, several soldiers were putting on armor for Shi Congyun.

He has a gorgeous golden armor with scales, and a ceremonial pierced armor. The armor is very thin, but it is shiny and looks good.

It is usually only used for ceremonies, or he will wear it when he is marching. The whole person is shining in the sun, dazzling and gorgeous, but it is actually vulnerable.

This time he was wearing a dark iron armor, with beautiful animal-faced shoulders on his shoulders, a gorgeous white tiger pattern on his waist and belly, and a red dragon pattern embroidered on the edge of the skirt armor, which was red and black as a whole.

In fact, Shi Congyun hadn't worn such armor for a long time. He wore ceremonial armor all the way. Although it was beautiful, it would be deadly in a real fight.

The accompanying eunuchs dared not speak, and the soldiers moved swiftly. Seeing that he was wearing armor, everyone guessed something.

"Find me some good spears." Shi Congyun loosened the wrist armor on his arm and ordered.

The soldier said: "The government doesn't need a spear, we people don't eat dry food."

"If you tell you to take it, you can take it, what a lot of nonsense!" Shi Congyun was furious and cursed.

"But."

"But what is it, if you are told to go, you will go, be quick!"

The personal soldiers went to prepare, and after a while brought some spears with good wooden poles, "Guan, these are the best in the armory, we picked them now."

Shi Congyun took it and shook it. The spear shaft was more than one foot long, and it was used for standard horse warfare. He held a hard wooden pole in his hand, and the blood in his heart boiled.

The people around him were very worried, and a few soldiers who had been protecting him on weekdays said cautiously: "Officials are the most noble people in the world, so it is not suitable to use such a spear."

Shi Congyun was very dissatisfied, "Eight years ago, Lao Tzu killed more than 120 bandits and generals one after another in Hedong by relying on his horse spear skills, and the sound shook the northwest. What's inappropriate, what's inappropriate!"

"We all know the kung fu of officials, but it's too dangerous to be in a chaotic army. Officials have to think about the world and the people of Qin."

"Stop flattering." Shi Congyun shook the spear in his hand: "I started out fighting, and I'm still afraid of these things. If it really gets to the point where I don't dare to go to the battlefield, I will blush."

As he spoke, he threw the spear to the soldiers: "Take it away for me." He turned around and went out.

Walking through the long corridors, the palaces in Taiyuan were very monotonous. When he arrived at the main hall from the side hall, many generals were already waiting there, talking a lot. Seeing him coming in, the hall fell silent instantly.

He was dressed in military armor, attracting everyone's attention at once, and the voice in the hall gradually became quieter, and soon quieted down.

Seeing them, Shi Congyun sat down and said, "There is news from the north. The Khitan people still have the courage to go south. I am going to go north to Xinkou to deal with those thieves."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he directly ordered: "Li Chuyun, Li Hanchao, Dong Zunhui, and Xiang Gong are the forwards, each leading five battalions of troops, going north through Shiling Pass, passing Xinkou to the north, and if you encounter the Liao army, you will be merciless. Hit hard! It is difficult to win for a while and we must not let them escape!

Wang Quanbin and Liu Qingchuan led [-] battalions to the west mountain pass to the north, detoured around Daizhou, and intercepted the retreat of the bandits.

Wang Shenqi led the infantry of the Chinese army, and then followed.

The rest will go north with me to Xinkou to kill the thieves. "

Shi Congyun made the deployment without doubt or discussion. He is very familiar with the Xinkou generation and the surrounding terrain. He started fighting in the vicinity seven or eight years ago.

Eight years ago, in the face of reinforcements from the Liao Kingdom, the army of the Great Zhou had no choice but to flee and retreat southward in a panic. Now eight years have passed, time has passed, and the situation in the world has changed.

30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

Eight years later, once again, the Liao army crossed the Yanmen Pass and followed the river valley from Daizhou to Xinkou and Xinzhou. This time it was not the Zhou army but the Qin army, and Shi Congyun came back.

Thinking of the humiliation and helplessness of the hasty withdrawal of troops back then, coupled with the unhappiness these days, he suppressed a wave of anger in his heart.

All the generals below agreed in unison, all gearing up.

Wang Shenqi, who had always been calm, said: "Guardian, I invite the government to sit in Taiyuan, and I will surely live up to His Majesty's high expectations. When we kill the Khitan commander, we will bring his head to Taiyuan and present it to the government."

Shi Congyun raised his hand to interrupt him: "I understand what you're thinking, there's no need to say anything now, I've made up my mind, go get some soldiers, and go north early tomorrow morning to kill the Khitan people."

Wang Shenqi is his old subordinate, he understood his temper, so he didn't say much, and accepted his orders.

But Yang Jiye suddenly stood up: "Officials, I and all the soldiers of the Jincheng Army, please be the forward!"

This action attracted the attention of many people. The Jincheng Army was composed of strong soldiers who surrendered in Shanxi. Because the Northern Han Dynasty was beaten to the ground and had no power to fight back, everyone did not think highly of Yang Jiye and his Jincheng Army on weekdays.

Now many people are surprised to see him begging to fight the Khitan people as a striker. Back in the Northern Han Dynasty, the Northern Han Dynasty bowed to the Liao Kingdom.
Shi Congyun glanced at Yang Jiye, "Sure!" he thought, don't let me down, after all, Yang Jiye has a great reputation in later generations.

Afterwards, after the arrangement was completed, many generals also withdrew one after another.

In the night, in front of the desolate Taiyuan city, the stars twinkled. Two or three stars were shining outside the sky, far less than the brightly lit camp outside the city. Countless light spots flickered in the night sky. From time to time, one or two horns of desolation could be heard.

The night wind was slightly cool, and there were few people in the distance, people and horses were scattered, and flag shadows were caressing. The wind was noisy, but it seemed to be whispering at night, and I couldn't hear it clearly. Looking at it from a distance, Shi Congyun knew that it was soldiers preparing for battle overnight.

Just looking at it from a distance, the blood in his veins seemed to be hot again. Speaking of which, he was only in his early twenties, and he didn't know when he started to have the illusion of being scheming.

But after all, the ardor that belongs to young people flowing in the blood cannot be suppressed.

In the early morning of the next day, the horns were blowing, the horseshoes sounded, and the strings continued to play, the snow was dark and the flags and paintings were withered, and the wind was mixed with the sound of drums.

When the drums sounded, there were continuous flags and flags outside the city of Taiyuan, the wind swept the clouds and sand, and the sun rose at the beginning of the morning, and the water was cold and the wind was like a knife.

Xiang Gong, Li Chuyun, Dong Zunhui, and Li Hanchao bid farewell to the imperial chariot early, led the troops out of the city first, Yazhang resigned from the Fengque, and the iron cavalry circled the dragon city.

Shi Congyun was dressed in solid armor, and then led a brigade of personal guard cavalry, walked through the wind and dust on the battlefield, and soon arrived at the front of the three armies.

The sun was just rising outside the city of Taiyuan, and the rays of light were overwhelming. As soon as the Son of Heaven came, there was no need to say anything, and the overwhelming voice of "Long Live" rushed over.

Shi Congyun held a spear more than ten feet in his hand, galloped across the battle on horseback, and said loudly and boldly: "Today I will lead you to kill thieves!"

"Kill the thief!"

"Kill the Khitan dog thief!"

"Kill the thief!"

"Kill the thief!"

"."

All of a sudden, the overwhelming sound soared into the sky, reverberating endlessly, and could be heard clearly in the city of Taiyuan a few miles away.
