Monument Yangmen

Chapter 490
When old Wang Gui rushed to Shengzhou with the Datong army, Yang Qigang received the battle report sent by Shang Qingzi's fast horse.

Chenjiakou.

Chinese army tent.

Yang Qi was sitting on the couch in the large tent of the Chinese army, and the messenger knelt down in front of Yang Qi.

Yang Qi opened the battle report sealed with wax paint, and carefully read it again.

Shang Qingzi described in detail the battle between him and Guo Da on the border of Fengzhou and Shengzhou in the battle report, and explained with great annoyance that he did not catch Guo Da and let Guo Da run away.

However, Yang Qi didn't care about whether Guo Da was caught or not. As long as Guo Da's remnant army was wiped out, Guo Da had already become a bereaved dog. He had nothing to do but to flee back to Liao Kingdom and beg for mercy from his master. The possibility of turning around.

"Boom~"

After halfway through the letter, Yang Qi excitedly knocked on the table in front of him, and said with a smile: "Guo Da's remnant army has been executed, and this Shengzhou will be named Yang from now on."

After laughing, Yang Qi continued to read the letter.

At the end of the letter, Shang Qingzi told Yang Qi that the wild beggars from Fengzhou chased Guo Da to the border of Shengzhou. He heard that Guo Da's remnant army had been killed, but he had no intention of retreating. He had great intentions to march into Shengzhou possible.

After all, it was Guo Da who killed Yeqiganbo's eldest son, but it was the Renaissance Army who killed Yeqiganbo's youngest son.

Shang Qingzi is leading the Zhejia army to confront Yeqi Ganbo. Due to the limited force, the two sides are still making small-scale trials.

I finished reading the letter.

Yang Qi frowned slightly.

There are only [-] soldiers and horses left in the wild beggars, but they are unwilling to retreat, and they are still consuming on the border between Fengzhou and Shengzhou.Yang Qi speculated that the wild beggar Ganbo might want to enter Shengzhou, and the reason why he wasted with Shang Qingzi was to delay time so that he could transfer troops from within the party.

Guessing here, Yang Qi put down the letter and said to the soldiers around him: "Let the first and second regiments of the revival army rangers, with 2 horses, set off and go to the border between Fengzhou and Shengzhou to support Shang Qing." son."

The soldiers around Yang Qi took orders and quickly went out to convey Yang Qi's order.

Yang Qi wrote a handwritten letter and handed it to the soldier of the Zhejia Army sent by Shang Qingzi to deliver the battle report, saying: "Take my handwritten letter and go back to report to Shang Qingzi. At the same time, tell him that the Rangers of the Revival Army After the first regiment, the second regiment, and the two regiments of 2 people arrive, he will control them."

The soldiers of the Zhejia army cupped their fists and said, "Your subordinate obeys orders."

Following Yang Qi's order, the first and second regiments of the revival army's rangers officially set off and rushed to the borders of Fengzhou and Shengzhou for support.

The soldiers of the Zhejia Army also took Yang Qi's handwriting and went with the Rangers of the Revival Army.

After the soldiers and horses sent out to support, Yang Qi looked a little dignified.

If Ye Qiqianbo mobilizes a large number of troops from within the party to attack Shengzhou, then Yang Qi's situation in Shengzhou will become precarious.

Shengzhou is lost.

The Liao people will definitely get the news soon and respond quickly.

Once the armies of the Liao people and Yeqi Qianbo got together, the Shengzhou that Yang Qigang won would probably be lost, and the revival army might also be maimed.

Thinking of this, Yang Qi became impatient.

The soldiers and horses of the wild beggars are easy to deal with, but the soldiers and horses of the Liao people are not so easy to deal with.

It's not that Yang Qi is afraid of the Liao people, but because the Liao people's combat tactics are basically fighting with a large army.

In other words, once the Liao people go south, it is basically impossible to command 10,000 to [-] soldiers and horses, and it is very likely that they will command [-]+ soldiers and horses.

Therefore, in Yang Qi's heart, Liao people are a serious problem.

However, the only thing that can help Yang Qi gain an advantage in the battle against the Liao people is the Chenjiakou pass that is under construction.

Yang Qi led Wang Xing, and Wang Xing carried the banner. When the group arrived at Chenjiakou, they saw the scene of Chenjiakou's city building in full swing.

Nearly 20 people gathered in Chenjiakou.

The construction site in Chenjiakou was extremely lively.

Yang Qi was slightly taken aback when he saw the pass built by Chenjiakou.

Because in the originally bare Chenjiakou, a three-foot-high fence has already emerged.

It's only been a few days, and the city wall has started to be built?

What about the foundation?
The foundation is the most important part of a city wall.

Often it takes three months to build a city, and more than one month is spent on the foundation.

This shows the importance of the foundation.

Therefore, when he saw the three-foot-high fence, Yang Qi was not only not happy, but rather annoyed.

He ordered someone to find Chen Yao who was in charge of building the city.

When seeing Chen Yao, most of the anger in Yang Qi's chest disappeared.

In just a few days, the thin, clean and fair Chen Yao disappeared.

I saw that Chen Yao had his trouser legs and sleeves rolled up, his hair was messed up, and his body was dirty, like a beggar.

As soon as Yang Qi looked at it, he knew that Chen Yao had been running around on the construction site all the time, and that's why he became like this.

Yang Qi's words of reprimand turned into a cold question.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Chen Yao gasped in a low voice, grinned and said, "I'm about to tell you about this, General. The pass we constructed was sixteen feet away from here. However, when the foundation is about to be laid, An old man told his subordinates that when the Liao people destroyed the Chenjiakou pass, they only tore down the city wall, but did not destroy the foundation.

The subordinates sent people to search around, and they found the foundation of the original Chenjiakou Pass.

The subordinates ordered people to clean up the foundation, and found that the original foundation was very stable and still usable.

The subordinate quickly sent someone to report to you, the general, and you, the general, allowed us to build the city here.

With the original foundation in place, we don't have to spend time laying the foundation directly.

You can build a city directly. "

Chen Yao scratched his head shyly, and said with a dry smile: "The subordinates know that the progress is a bit slow, but the common people have been working day and night. This is already the fastest speed."

Yang Qi was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that two days ago, Chen Yao sent someone to report this matter to him.

At that time, he was busy reforming the revival army and selecting elite soldiers, so he dismissed the person who made the report by saying, "Let Chen Yao figure it out."

Almost mistakenly blamed Chen Yao.

Yang Qi twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a dry smile: "Good work, keep working hard. But you can't act carelessly just to dare to make progress. To defend against the easternmost city wall, you have to face the charge of the Liao army, so you must build it strong .”

Chen Yao nodded heavily, and said: "This subordinate understands, and this subordinate will never dare to act carelessly."

Yang Qi told Chen Yao a few more words, and sent Chen Yao to continue working.

He led Wang Xing, bypassed the three-foot-high wall, and went outside the wall.

Strolling outside Chenjiakou, Yang Qi raised his eyes and felt that something was wrong there.

After wandering around for a long time, he saw that the mountains on both sides of Chenjiakou were covered with trees.

Lush and lush into a piece.

Immediately, Yang Qi said: "Send people to dispatch all the remaining [-] soldiers and horses of the revival army. Let them cut down all the trees facing east on both sides of the mountain and the trees on the top of the mountain, and send them to the construction site for use as supports. At the same time, he warned When they cut down trees, they can’t cut them all, but must leave a foot-high stubble.”

The messenger went down to deliver Yang Qi's order with a blank expression.

And the people around Yang Qi were also at a loss.

Only Wang Xing, who was carrying the banner, said thoughtfully: "General, you are afraid that the Liao people will come from the forests on both sides of the mountain to make a surprise attack, so you ordered people to cut down the trees. The reason why the trees are left The stubble is used to trip horses. The Liao people have many cavalry, and once the stubble is used as a shield, the Liao people will basically lose the idea of ​​sneak attack."

Yang Qi stared at Wang Xing with a half-smile, and said with a smile, "I can't tell, you're quite discerning, your previous status must be unusual, right?"

Wang Xing blushed and coughed dryly: "It's all in the past, why bring it up now..."

Since Wang Xing didn't want to talk about it, Yang Qi didn't dig into the root of the problem.

Yang Qichang sighed, and said: "Time is urgent, and this is the only way to do it. If there is enough time, the city wall should be built along the mountain range. Then, on the two hills, set up two military fortresses. In that case, it would be difficult for the Liao people to fly in even with wings."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xing praised: "The general is wise."

Yang Qi rolled his eyes and said, "It's not me who is wise, it's my father who is wise."

The method of building cities and villages mentioned by Yang Qi is the method that Lao Yang used in Yanmen Pass.

Lao Yang guarded Yanmen Pass for ten years, built a city wall for nearly [-] miles along the mountains, and established three military strongholds.

The so-called Sanguanzhai refers to the three military forts built by Lao Yang at Yanmenguan.

Hearing Yang Qi's words, Wang Xing was shocked and said, "Could it be that your father is the Yanmen Gate Guard General, the legendary Yang Wudi, Yang Linggong?"

Yang Qi pouted, but did not answer Wang Xing's question.

Obviously, Yang Qi didn't want to wear the hat of Yang Wudi's son in the eyes of his subordinates.

Yang Qi patrolled around the city wall, and when he finally came to the edge of the city wall, he proposed to build a moat outside the city wall, and led others to respond.

Regarding the situation of building the city, although Yang Qi was anxious, he couldn't rush it.

He knew in his heart that once he urged, it would be easy to produce a tofu project.

When Yang Qi returned to the barracks, he found a group of refugees, and they gathered in the open space near the barracks.

At the same time, there are tens of thousands of war horses galloping and neighing.

Seeing this, Yang Qi's face flashed with joy, and his steps became much lighter.

After Yang Qi entered his central army tent, he saw Yang Da and Yang Wu waiting for him inside.

When the three brothers met, it was inevitable to exchange pleasantries.

After the three sat down, Yang Qi said with emotion: "My brother, you are finally here. I am relieved when you are here."

Yang Wu kept looking outside the tent frequently, as if he had no intention of talking to Yang Qi, his soul had already been snatched away by the army outside who were about to cut down trees.

Yang Da glanced at Yang Wu, shook his head and smiled, and said to Yang Qi: "After receiving your letter, your fifth brother and I hurried here. But with a large number of refugees under my command, I couldn't go fast at all. "

Yang Qi said excitedly: "It's good if you come, it's good if you come..."

Yang Daguan smiled, and said with emotion: "Now Wulang and I are almost becoming soldiers under your command, and we must obey your orders everywhere. This letter from you is more useful than a military order."

Yang Qi grinned and said: "Brother, are you making fun of me? You and my brother, do you still need to distinguish between superiority and inferiority?"

Yang Da waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know that playing tricks with you, Tan Hua Lang, won't get you any favors. Brother, I won't joke with you anymore, let's talk about business."

Yang Qi immediately made an appearance of listening attentively.

Yang Da said solemnly: "Before coming to Shengzhou, father sent me a letter. Let me advise you not to attack Shengzhou."

Yang Qi pondered for a moment, and immediately understood the worries in Lao Yang's heart.

Yang Qile laughed and said: "From the moment I arrived in Daizhou, Shengzhou has been included in the territory of Daizhou by me. Now that Shengzhou has been taken down, it is impossible to hand it over again?"

Yang Qi joked: "I don't dare to do this kind of thing, I'm afraid of being stabbed in the back."

Yang Da couldn't laugh or cry and pointed at Yang Qi, "You, you..."

As the eldest brother, Yang Da has the responsibility and obligation to carry out the letter handed over by Lao Yang.

But execution is execution.

Yang Da raised his hands in favor of Yang Qi taking Shengzhou.

After he conveyed Lao Yang's words, he no longer talked about the issue of whether Shengzhou would stay or not.

Yang Dazheng sat in danger, and said in a deep voice: "On the way here, I heard people say that you are building a city at Chenjiakou?"

Yang Qi nodded, "The people of Liao won't give up after taking Shengzhou this time, and they will definitely invade. At present, our troops are limited, and it is impossible to face the enemy head-on with the Liao people. We can only step up the construction of the city wall, borrow The power of the city wall resists the Liao people."

Yang Da nodded and said: "Your ideas and actions are correct. You are working so hard, and I, the eldest brother, cannot hold you back. This time, your fifth brother and I gathered a total of 12 refugees.

This is all labor, all sent to build the city. "

Yang Qi arched his hands and said, "Brother Lao is the one to build the city."

Yang Da waved his hands and said with a smile: "My brother, you don't have to be so polite."

At this moment, Yang Wu suddenly turned his head and said, "What about me?"

Yang Qi said solemnly: "Yeqi Ganbo stationed troops on the border of Shengzhou, and he intends to attack Shengzhou. After that, I will take [-] soldiers to the border of Shengzhou, and fight Yeqi Ganbo to the border of Shengzhou.

Fifth brother, you are in charge of sitting in Chenjiakou with your eldest brother.I will leave the remaining [-] revival army rangers under your command, Fifth Brother.

In addition, it is time to prepare for the establishment of heavy armored cavalry.

Fifth brother, you can select qualified heavy armored cavalry fighters while training the [-] Renaissance Army rangers. "

Yang Wu is a persistent person. He is obsessed with training soldiers and commanding troops in battle.

Therefore, Yang Qi is very satisfied with Yang Wu's arrangement.

The arrival of Yang Da and Yang Wu completely solved Yang Qi's worries.

He entrusted the affairs of Chenjiakou to Yang Da, and then to Yang Wuyiwan Ranger.

After the soldiers of the Revival Army cut down the trees.

He himself took [-] Renaissance Army infantry and rushed to the border of Shengzhou to help.
