retaliate

Starting from Ningxing, the further north you go, the deserted you become.

Over a hundred miles past Linluo City, there was a small town called Racecourse.Good horses come out of this bitter cold place, which used to be the breeding ground for horses in Beiliao.Later, the martial arts in the Northern Liao Dynasty gradually faded, and no one wanted to come to this place to suffer, so it gradually became a place of exile.

It's a bit like Taiping County in northern Xinjiang.But it is clear that people from Machang are not as versatile as people from Taiping.

When the Shegu army approached the city, Machang City almost fell with a bang.Most of the defenders in the city fled.

As the node between Zhenbei City and Linluo City, Machang City became the concentration place for the Shegu Army.

The people of Shegu didn't care about production and seized a lot of food and grass after they attacked Zhenbei City. Later, after defeating the Northern Liao Army several times, they also captured a lot.

But sitting and eating is not enough.

Deji suggested organizing people to farm, but when the Shegu people captured the city, they burned, killed and looted so much that the people in the back city heard that the Shegu people had come, and the first thought of the people was to run away.

Unlike the Tang people who cherish their homes, the Beiliao people will not hesitate to abandon their homes before a crisis.As long as people are there, they can build another home at any time.

However, the population of the extreme north is small, and after such a run, there will be even fewer people left.

So Deji kept advising Ah Xibao to change his style, so that he looked like an army of kings.Not to mention kindness, but it can't be cruel either.

But Ah Xibao did not accept his suggestion, saying that until Ningxing was defeated, such methods must be used to maintain morale.

The Shegu people who came out of the mountains were no different from the Beiliao people after losing their wildness.

It is the real Qihu from Shegu who guards the racecourse city.

Qihu was also one of Ah Xibao's playmates back then, and he followed him all the time.After Ah Xibao drove away his father and brother, Qi Hu quickly took over.

As the name suggests, a person with the word tiger is naturally sturdy and powerful.

Qihu is simple and straightforward by nature, and after he came out of the mountain, he was quickly fascinated by the colorful world.He likes to play with women, and he likes to drink more.

But in the final analysis, what he likes is the fun of manipulating people's fate.

"jump up!"

Qihu was drinking in the lobby, accompanied by a few dancing girls from the Northern Liao Dynasty.

He drank heavily, his face was flushed, he patted the long knife on the table, "Hurry up!"

Several Beiliao girls spun quickly, their skirts flew up, and their fair legs could be vaguely seen.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Qihoo couldn't help laughing.

A general came in and said, "The scouts are back."

"How?" Qihu asked casually while looking at the dance.

The general said: "No abnormality was found."

"Your Majesty said, Chang'an's army persecuted Yang Gou and wanted to return to the teacher. At this moment, he should be in a dilemma. Drink!"

Qihu raised his glass and looked at the crowd, "After defeating Ning Xing, I will go to the palace and let the dog emperor's woman dance for us."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Laughter burst out, and several sergeants on duty sniffed enviously the smell of powder, wine and meat mixed with it.

It's fragrant, but it also seems to be stinky.

In a valley more than ten miles away from the horse farm city, thousands of cavalry are resting.

Jiang Cunzhong stood on the hillside, looking at the Machang City in the twilight, but he saw only darkness.

Several riders entered the valley and found Jiang Cunzhong, "The enemy scouts are not too dense and rather slack."

"This is good news!" Jiang Cunzhong said along with the generals under his command: "We went out day and night this way, and we successfully arrived here. We didn't encounter much trouble, which shows that the opponent is slack."

Next, it depends on the ability to touch the city.

Jiang Cunzhong looked at the more than ten big men sitting and resting below, and his heart was burning.

This is the guard next to Yang Xuan. In the northern border, only Yang Xuan can command.This time, Yang Xuan sent more than ten people to follow him to attack Racecourse City, which is a sign of his trust.

Today, everyone knows that Qin Guogong's pattern will not be limited to the northern border.People's hearts seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and many people are wondering whether they can find their place in the Northern Xinjiang system.

stand in line!
It is extremely important at this time.

So what if the Chang'an army attacked?
Big deal fight!
Jiang Cunzhong is an old man in northern Xinjiang, and even Yang Xuan's brother before he made a fortune.In the northern border army, that is, Nan He and Pei Jian were more important than him and Zhang Du.

Beiliao is destroyed, as long as the Shegu people are defeated, Yang Xuan's situation will suddenly become clear.

After integrating the territory of Beiliao, the strength of Beijiang will continue to grow with the passage of time.

This power can make Chang'an tremble.

Zhang Du and Jiang Cunzhong murmured in private that the current situation in northern Xinjiang might not last long.

The upper echelons of northern Xinjiang know this truth, only the military and civilians are still at a loss in the old pattern.

stand on your own!
This is the first step.

Jiang Cunzhong couldn't help bursting with joy when he thought of the situation in which northern Xinjiang could stand on its own.

At that time, there is no need to worry about the constraints of the bird emperor.

"General Jiang Lang."

A big man came up, "Is it touching the city later or what?"

Jiang Cunzhong said: "Let's see if there are secret sentries outside the city."

Cough cough!
Someone coughed.

Jiang Cunzhong turned around, but it was Wu Rong, the elder of Yunshan.

After Yang Xuanbing approached the mountain gate, Yunshan headmaster Guo Yunhai stood in line decisively, and once he stood in line, he was extremely firm.No, he sent Yunshan's backbone to follow the army in this battle.

To those big men, Jiang Cunzhong's attitude was very polite, but to the monks in Yunshan, he was much calmer, a little businesslike.

"For this surprise attack, the key is to be sudden. The defenders must be caught off guard. It is best to be able to open the city gate. If not, a section of the city wall must be captured to protect the follow-up soldiers to enter the city. Everyone in Yunshan...are you sure? "

Jiang Cunzhong asked.

After deciding to side with Qin Guogong, Guo Yunhai decided to move the mountain gate to Taoxian County. For this reason, he discussed with Ning Yayun and showed weakness.

No way, fight, he can't beat Ning Yayun.More important than contacts and trust, it is said that Ning Yayun's entry and exit of the Duke's Mansion is as natural and calm as entry and exit of metaphysics.Moreover, he could abduct Duke Qin's eldest son and run around the world.

This kind of trustworthy cloud mountain is naturally incomparable.

Therefore, Guo Yunhai lowered his posture. This time Yang Xuan asked Brother Yunshan to follow him into the battle. Guo Yunhai carefully selected some people, and Wu Rong, who was the most resourceful, led the team.

Before leaving, Guo Yunhai told Wu Rong that in this battle, we must show off our Yunshan prestige and lay a good foundation for moving to Tao County.

Thinking of this, Wu Rong cupped his hands and said in a loud voice: "Machang City is small and low. If there is a sneak attack, there are several Yunshan disciples who are good at hiding their tracks. They are willing to clear the way for the army!"

"Oh!" Jiang Cunzhong didn't expect such a good thing, "Is it safe to hide?"

Wu Rong raised his hand and said without turning around, "Show it to General Jiang Lang!"

Several Yunshan disciples changed their clothes, and then their figures flickered, and when they looked again, they couldn't find them.

Jiang Cunzhong went up to check carefully, because he knew there was someone here, and he had a good cultivation base and good eyesight... He thought he would find it all at once.But after more than ten breaths, he found one of them.

"it is good!"

Jiang Cunzhong said: "If you make meritorious service, the Duke will reward you."

Wu Rong smiled and said: "Since Yunshan decided to follow the Duke, it doesn't matter if he is rewarded or not."

What Fangwai people want is not money, but value!
Only those who are superior can bring incense if they value it.

This point can be known by looking at metaphysics.

When I first came to Northern Xinjiang, there was very little metaphysics. As Yang Xuan went in and out frequently, Metaphysics gradually became the first place in northern Xinjiang.

In many cases, the gods also have to use the power of the world to publicize their prestige.

Later Jiang Cunzhong and the big men explained their arrangement.

"The people from Yunshan will go first later, and I invite you to break through later."

What he said was very polite, and the leader Qiulong Wei said: "Jiang Lang will not need to worry about our feelings of dissatisfaction."

That's good!
Jiang Cunzhong felt that this group of people had no desire or hope at all, and only had Yang Xuan in their eyes.

Who can have such guards?

Jiang Cunzhong didn't think about this question, and left it behind.

What he should know, the Duke will naturally tell him.

Later, five thousand riders were dispatched.

The moonlight is bleak tonight, illuminating the desolate surrounding fields.

But the hearts of the five thousand Northern Xinjiang cavalry were extremely hot.

After destroying the enemy's luggage, the initiative fell into the hands of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

The [-] riders who had circled behind the enemy's rear had made preparations before they set off, and there were so many suicide notes written by others that kept the literate people in the army busy. ,
Once discovered, the city of Racecourse will be heavily guarded, and their journey to the south will be extremely difficult and bloody.

But no one cares.

Destroy the Shegu people, and there will be no enemies in the north of the Tang Dynasty!
This belief drove the soldiers to never turn back.

After approaching the racecourse city, Jiang Cunzhong raised his hand, and everyone stopped.

Wu Rong cupped his hands at Jiang Cunzhong in the dark, Jiang Cunzhong nodded and patted his chest lightly.

This is the etiquette for brothers in the army.

This is the first step in the right way. Wu Rong's heart is also hot.

Now that he is in line, Yunshan also hopes that Yang Xuan's situation will become bigger and bigger.As a vassal, Yunshan's incense will rise.

Various forces in Chang'an are standing in line.

The same goes for the North.

This world is like a gambling game, and qualified people place bets one after another.

More than a dozen people from Yunshan came quietly to the city.

On the top of the city, a torch was planted dozens of steps away. Two or three sergeants beside the torch spoke lazily and occasionally sniggered, maybe they were talking about something proud. ,
A few Yunshan monks quietly approached the city wall and stretched out their hands to stick it.

Machang City is an earthen city, which has been in disrepair for a long time, and the rammed earth is full of potholes.Naturally, ordinary people cannot take advantage of those potholes, but for monks...

A few Yunshan disciples walked up slowly along the potholes like geckos.

More than ten horned dragon guards were just under the city, but it was still difficult to find the whereabouts of these disciples.

Two sergeants were guarding the city, one of them was dozing off, the other was muttering
The mumbling sergeant rubbed his stomach, feeling a little hungry, so he lowered his head to grab dry food.

When he lowered his head, he saw a pair of eyes.

The sergeant was startled, and just about to scream, a hand reached out like lightning and grabbed his throat.

Pinch hard.

Enemy attack!
The sergeant fell slowly, and he hoped that his companions would find the abnormality.

But a black shadow came up quietly, pinching the throat of another sergeant with one hand.

work hard!
The sergeant despaired, and then darkness struck.

Afterwards, the rest of the Yunshan monks went up to the top of the city and touched the sides.

More than ten horned dragon guards followed closely behind.

They were tall, so they hunched their backs and walked down the steps step by step towards the city.

Going down is the only street in the racecourse city, with low wooden houses on both sides.The sound of horseshoes can be heard in the distance, which is very monotonous.

This is the night watch sergeant.

Behind the city gate, several sergeants on night duty sat in a corner and dozed off.

More than ten big men passed quietly.

There was a sound of cartilage breaking.

Several big men pointed to the heavy bolts of the city gate.

Once it is turned on, there must be a lot of movement.

A big man took a deep breath, grabbed the door bolt, and exerted his strength slowly.

In the sound of chi chi chi, the door latch was pulled open.

goo goo!
goo goo!
Birdsong came from the top of the city.

In the distance, Jiang Cunzhong raised his hand.

Everyone on horseback.

Squeak!
No matter how careful he was, there was still a lot of noise when he opened the city gate.

On the long street, the sergeant who was watching the night yelled, "Who?"

Someone at the top of the city held a torch and spun around vigorously.

"Attack!"

Jiang Cunzhong shouted ecstatically.

The sound of hoofbeats broke the silence.

The night patrol cavalry rushed over while warning.

More than a dozen big men stood on the long street with long knives in their hands, looking at them coldly.

"kill!"

The Modao is like a child's toy in the hands of these big men, easily beheading the menacing cavalry.

Dozens of cavalry were killed, and the defenders in the city also responded.

"Enemy attack!"

Qihu drank too much last night and rushed out in a daze.

More than ten riders came at a gallop.

Qihoo shouted: "Get a horse!"

The knife light flickered in the moonlight.

Skimming over Qihoo's neck.

Qihu's head fell to the ground, and with a last look, he saw a fire erupting in the place where the grain and grass were stored in the city.
