Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1217
In the suburbs south of Jingzhao, a group of people were heading east.There were about a hundred people in this group, the young ones were fourteen or five years old, and the big ones were only in their early twenties, which looked a little weird.

Although this group of people is not very old, but they all carry bows and knives, each of them is full of heroism, which makes people dare not insult them. Even if there are bandits and wanderers in the wild, after watching from a distance for a while, they all leave wisely and dare not near.

A group of people followed the water, and the speed was not too slow.Occasionally, when someone gets tired and lags behind on the way, they will be ridiculed by their companions, and they will catch up with gritted teeth.

There was a burly young man with a weak crown in the team, who seemed to be the leader of the group. He had a long bow in his waist and hips, two pots of arrows on his back, and a long spear in his hand. He walked and looked back. Loudly said: "Hurry up, hurry up! Our trip is for the purpose of serving the Xingtai and following Master Wang's achievements. At present, the trace of Master Wang has not been seen yet, so it's hard work just to hurry!"

When the young people around heard this, they all raised their arms and shouted for encouragement, and their speed increased a little.It's just that after walking for more than an hour, even the young man who cheered everyone up was exhausted and out of breath, and the crowd finally stopped at the edge of a forest to take a rest.

"Qilang, is it a little rash for us to leave our hometown and go east this time? I heard that these masters who went west are very kind to our Guanzhong children..."

While resting in the forest, a young man who looked quite mature came over, looked at the leader, and said anxiously.

After the young man who was the leader heard the words, he glared his eyes and said displeasedly: "Brother, what are you talking about? We made an appointment when we left, and we will use this bow and knife to contribute to meritorious service. Don't be a household poodle in the lazy countryside!"

"I, I'm not timid, but the parents of the family say that these masters are real, real..."

"This point, I didn't make it very clear earlier. We have been in Guanzhong for a long time. It has been a long time since Wang Hua was unable to understand. Wang Shi went west, so it is unavoidable to believe. Father and son brothers in the Tingmen, if there is no daily teaching and communication, it is inevitable that they will be alienated. I can't know each other, not to mention that I came from Guanzhong for a long time and regarded myself as a foreigner. The revival of the king's industry, the achievements of thousands of years, just need the help of loyalty and bravery. Even the Lord of Hulu understands this truth. How can you refuse to accept me!"

Hearing this, the spirits of the young people around him became uplifted again, and another red-faced boy waved his fist and said loudly: "The revival of the king's industry is expected at home and abroad. How can we just watch the Chinese people! In previous years, we can use excuses." Wang Ye is far away from the south of the Yangtze River, and it is difficult to be effective, but now Wang Shiye has joined the three assistants, killing thieves bravely and restoring the homeland, how can I be short of my Guanzhong Jianer!"

"Cultivating strength, fortunately encountering great changes, this body should be entrusted to the wise and strategic master, so that he can live up to his life!"

The young people yelled endlessly, and soon the fatigue disappeared, and then they imagined what kind of achievements they would create by joining Master Wang in the future.

This group of young people are mostly young children of Jingzhao's hometown clan, for example, the leader is Wei Gui, a member of Jingzhao Wei clan, and the red-faced boy is Lu Jingzong of Fufeng Lu clan.Different from the vigilance and wait-and-see attitude of the elders of the family, they have been looking forward to this for a long time. They hope that the arrival of Wang Shi can sweep away many old difficulties in the countryside, and also allow them to show their talents.

But obviously, their ardent deeds were not recognized by the clan's parents, so a group of young people with the same ambition simply gathered together and left their hometown to join Master Wang.

"The elders of the family have experienced disasters and chaos for a long time, and they embraced this poor soil to seek comprehensiveness. They were timid to fight for courage. The Tao can rely on this alone, but in the past many years, the Tianfu in Guanzhong has become ruins! Enduring humiliation and stealing life, even if they are perfect for a while, they are just a laughing stock in the world. They are both brave and strong, and the kings and generals in the sky are already famous all over the world. None of our Guanzhong children can be called heroes! No one can lose their ambitions. This time, the success of this trip is the second, and the ambition is to show yourself to the king Under the teacher's account, let people know that I still have loyalty and bravery in Guanzhong!"

The young man Wei Gui raised his arms and shouted again, and all the young people around responded, and then the group continued on the road eastward.

In fact, they went east to join the army this time, and Meng Lang was indeed reckless. One didn't know where Wang Shi was marching, and the two didn't have a complete plan at all. Not many people have experience traveling long distances.

So in the evening, the crowd couldn't help being dumbfounded. They didn't even prepare basic food and shelter.Fortunately, it was midsummer at the moment, even sleeping out in the wild was not too hard, plus some people brought some food, plus hunting in the wild, I managed to make do with the night.

In the early morning of the next day, all the people were no longer as energetic as they were yesterday. It wasn't that they had given up their ambition to join the army and make contributions, but they all realized that this trip was far from being as simple as they imagined.They didn't know how many days they would travel east to meet Master Wang, and even eating became a problem.

"Going forward here, there is a family of my family building a dock, let's go to the center of the dock to borrow some food, and return it after leading Master Wang to the village..."

One of the young people suggested, and soon a crowd of hungry young people agreed.

So the group of people continued on the road, and after wandering in the countryside for half a day, they finally found the relatives that the young man had mentioned, and the group finally had a good meal.

After knowing the purpose of this group of young people, the master of Wubi sighed and shook his head for a while, and disagreed with the thoughts and actions of this group of young people: "It is hard to know whether the Jin army coming to the west will be good or bad for my hometown. You guys really don't know the importance of these little advances, not to mention whether the army will accept you, even if they accept you in the army, the greed is nothing more than your familiarity with the country roads, if you attract the army to harm my hometown, the victims will be How can you be alone! After the meal, I will send someone to send you home, follow the instructions of your parents, and don't walk around outside..."

Hearing this advice, the young people had differences, some of them bowed their heads sadly, acquiescing to their mistakes, while Wei Gui, Lu Jingzong and others were still firm in their hearts. The case came up: "I will never forget the benefit of the host's hospitality and food! We also know that we underestimated the dangers of the journey, but this is especially the case. It is even more painful because we lack knowledge. If we return to the gate fence, This life will be even more hopeless!"

In addition to expressing his feelings, the red-faced boy Lu Jingzong pointed to several young people from Wubi's family who were seated at the table and said: "Master, when I am strong, I will walk in the world while my willpower is strong. How can I use a brave body?" Lying deep in the country couch waiting to die! All the barbarians dare to take advantage of this troubled world to fight for courage and abuse. Is it possible that I, Erlang in Guanzhong, are not as good as the beasts? Parents can still say that they are worried about the family business. when!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of those young people's brows and eyes gradually revealed that they were ready to move.

Seeing that these young people were so stubborn, the owner of Wubi saw that instead of being able to persuade them, he was so instigated by them that he couldn't help himself. He felt helpless for a while, and after serving a meal, he simply sent them away.But when he returned to Wubi to count his sons and daughters, he found that several people had disappeared!

Not to mention how the owner of Wubi was furious, a few young people who joined in explained the surrounding geography, and these young people knew that although they had been running for nearly a day and night, they had only just arrived at the edge of Bashang. The stationed Hongnong is still far away.

"However, there is news from the east that Master Wang has already moved westward. Let's go east all the way. In three to five days, we may see Master Wang scouting the way forward..."

While speaking, there was a faint sound of horseshoes in the field, and soon the sound of horseshoes became more and more clear in the field. The young people were still in shock, and there was already a trail of cavalry in their field of vision.

"Master Wang? Or bandits..."

There was not much shelter in the field, and when these young people saw the traces of the cavalry, the cavalry on the opposite side also found their traces.

Although these young people lack the knowledge of long-distance travel, they are also fortunate enough to have practical combat experience. They saw the opponent coming straight towards them, and before confirming the identity of the opponent, they retreated into a dense forest one after another. The trees formed a crude defensive formation, and that Wei Gui stepped out on his own initiative, standing within range of his comrades at the front, and shouted loudly, "Who is coming?"

The knights ran extremely fast, there were more than [-] knights in total, and there were as many as a thousand horses. The sound of horseshoes roared so close that it was even more breathtaking.They did not answer immediately, but surrounded the dense forest first, and then nearly a hundred people got off their horses, marched forward slowly in formation, and shouted at the same time: "Wang Shifen's army's forward is here, everyone in the forest hastened!" Abandon your weapons and go!"

Hearing the shout from the other side, Wei Gui was both happy and suspicious, and signaled his companions behind to stay still for now, while he himself walked forward slowly, throwing the weapons in his hands on the grass, and waved only after they could see each other clearly Said: "We are all volunteers for Jingzhao village households. I don't know if the master Wang on the opposite side has a sign of a talisman?"

In fact, at this moment, Wei Gui can roughly confirm the identity of the other party, seeing that his equipment is well-equipped and well-organized, which is far from comparable to ordinary rural armed forces.But he still has to be responsible for the hundreds of companions behind him, so he asked to see the order.

But in fact, his caution at this moment is superfluous, the other party has already surrounded this small forest, if they really have malicious intentions towards them, they will not be able to escape at all.

However, the other party still threw a talisman token, and two people quickly stepped forward to lead Wei Gui back.

"You and others, why are you wandering in the wild?"

A military general galloped forward and saw that his age was not too much older than Wei Gui. He first glanced at Wei Gui, then pointed to the dense forest behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Quickly call out your companions, If I order the siege, you will not be able to escape."

Wei Gui saw how much blood was stained on the armor and weapons of these soldiers, and felt palpitated for a moment, he paused and said: "I waited for the bravery to travel here, originally to serve the king's teacher, and did not intend to be an enemy of the general..."

When the young general heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he roared, and swept a wooden staff straight at Wei Gui's shoulder.Seeing this, Wei Gui subconsciously withdrew and retreated, but the head of the stick followed him like a shadow.

Seeing this, the young general waved his arm, but the wooden stick was still motionless. He rode his horse a little, raised his arm and sent the wooden stick out. Seeing that Wei Gui couldn't hold back his momentum, he staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground , let out a big laugh, and then turned over and got off the horse. Seeing that Wei Gui got up from the ground in a bit of a mess, he strode forward, put his hand on the young man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's a Rare strength, call out your companions."

Wei Gui's face was quite flushed at the moment, although the young general stabbed him immediately to borrow some horsepower, but it was obviously a random temptation without doing his best. Almost lifting him off the ground, it can be seen that the opponent also has amazing arms.

This unavoidably made the young man feel quite discouraged. He was born in a noble family in Jingzhao, and he often praised the village because of his strong arms, so he was full of confidence in serving Wang Shi, but he didn't expect that he would be completely suppressed by this young general the first time he met Wang Shi .

Regardless of Wei Gui's mood, the young general was actually quite surprised.The man is Shen Yun, the general of the Fenwu Army, he made a little test casually, although he reserved more than half of his strength, he already had some insight into the strength of this young man.

After the group of Jingzhao's disciples left, Shen Yun asked Wei Gui to come to him again, asked about the surrounding areas, and learned that this group of young people wanted to leave their hometowns to join the army, so he couldn't help but feel more fond of him: " In the area of ​​Guanzhong, the king's life has been cut off for a long time, and the journey has come to this point. Most of the townships look far away and dare not get close. I didn't expect there to be such brave and strong men who joined the army. You wait for the time to enlist in the army and wait until the war here is over. Just use it. The king's order is used in all directions, and many brave people come out of the way. The loyal people are diligent and useful, and they will never suffer from fame and honor!"

After confirming the identity of Master Wang on this road, Wei Gui and other villagers were also full of surprises in their hearts. They thought they would have to go on for a few days to visit Master Wang, but they did not expect that they were still in the Jingzhao Heartland Then met each other.

Master Wang took a short break here and continued on the road, because there were many horses available for transfer, Wei Gui and the others also shared one.All the weapons they carried were confiscated, and their personnel were scattered and arranged in Shiwu.

"General, go further to Bashang... Du Hong's bandit army has defenses on Bashang!"

Seeing that the other party had no scruples all the way, Wei Gui couldn't help but remind him, but the other party didn't slow down because of this, and drove straight all the way, not following the winding path, and even arrived at Bashang Piyuan in the evening.

Bashang is the outermost part of the Chang'an defense line run by Du Hong. Du Hong's military strength has also increased sharply due to the recent assistance from the village.

This route of cavalry drove in, which soon attracted the attention of the Bashang defenders. Soon, nearly a thousand knights gathered on the periphery of Piyuan, and came straight to kill the enemy troops along this route.

"Ready to kill the enemy!"

Shen Yun laughed out loud when he saw this, then pulled down his armor, lifted the strong bow hanging on the saddle, and rushed to the enemy team on the opposite side bravely.All the knights behind him closed their formation and charged forward.

Wei Gui and the others were also powerless to do anything else at the moment, they were dragged and rushed straight to the opposite side, almost thousands of horses were galloping in their ears, and there was almost no sound, their vision was also extremely messy, the strong wind poured into their mouths and noses, and it was almost impossible to Open your eyes and see things.

"kill!"

The loud and majestic shouts of killing resounded in the sky. Although both sides were cavalry confronting each other, the enemy troops in the opposite direction were completely inferior to the magnificent posture of the Fenwu army.

Before the people arrived, Liu Ya, who was full of strength, had already roared into the sky one step ahead. Because of the lack of bow power, many knights on the opposite side were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.The formation that was originally not very solid became looser and more afraid to stand upright. Many people subconsciously steered their horses to the side, intending to temporarily avoid the opponent's aggressive charge and gather on the flanks.

However, this retreat made the opponent's charge more violent, like a steel knife directly inserted into the formation, quickly piercing through the loose formation, and then the horse's head turned slightly, followed by the tail to kill, chasing all the way, and even directly This group of cavalrymen was cut from Bashang Piyuan, and they were killed endlessly in the wilderness!

The enemy troops on Bashang saw this fighting army passing by, cutting and chasing all their own cavalry under their noses, and they were heartbroken for a while. Frightened by the strength of their troops, no one dared to come out to rescue them. , Watching that nearly a thousand riders were chased to death in the wilderness!

Of course, this is also because the horsepower of the enemy army is not too sufficient. When they are assembled and reorganized in the camp, their own cavalry has already been chased out of the wilderness several miles away.And they didn't know the enemy's military situation at all, so they dared not go far to pursue them.So in this mere quarter of an hour, they lost the first battle and lost nearly a thousand horses and soldiers!
The Fenwu Army's first battle in Bashang was actually not easy. They were originally a group of long-distance raiders. At the end of the battle, horses kept falling down during the chase. It was only because the army was too fierce that these delays and accidents were covered up. .

It was not until all these enemies were chased and killed, that Shen Yun ordered to confiscate the enemy's horses and ordnance, and each of them changed vehicles and retreated slowly.

And it wasn't until this time that Wei Gui and other Guanzhong disciples realized that they had just been lucky enough to experience a field battle in which they won more with less. There is no chance of gaining it.

The Fenwu army did not leave Bashang too far during this journey, and when they had retreated more than ten miles away, they each dismounted and took a rest near a river valley.

Not long after, there was another sound of horseshoes from the east, and another new Fenwu army came here. After the two sides joined forces, they exchanged information. Shen Yun and others handed over some of the captured horses and the remaining arrows to the newcomers that team.Then that team rushed into the night again, and then headed towards Bashang not far to the west!
This night, various people from the Fenwu Army came one after another, and the Bashang garrison was also attacked one after another.Even though the enemy army didn't attack the camp directly, but only made noise outside the camp defense, the sound of iron hooves sounded one after another, which made people's hearts jump.Originally, the cohesion of the army was not strong, and in the middle of the night, some battalion soldiers could not bear the huge pressure and directly abandoned the battalion and retreated to the rear.

As for Du Hong who was in Shiji City in Chang'an, it was not an easy night. The enemy army killed Bashang so quickly, more than ten days faster than he expected, which really surprised him.

Although he didn't have the determination to stick to Chang'an, there are still many townships who have not delivered the aid agreed by the clan, which made him feel anxious. After finally dawning, he sent out a group of cavalry scouts to scout out the enemy. The army has specific military conditions, and at the same time urges Xiangzong to send aid quickly.

However, the Fenwu Army's [-] elite riders came here, and quickly snatched the control of the field from Du Hong's hands.

For example, after Shen Yun's troops slept in the open in the middle of the night to build up their strength, they got on their horses again at dawn and wandered around Bashang, and soon encountered some tribal tribes transporting supplies to Chang'an. Expulsion and hunting, and supplies for military use.At the same time, the information on those rural households who funded the Chang'an bandit army was gradually sorted out, and sent to the rear by flying cavalry.

At this time, Huanxuan's troops in the Wangshizhong Road Army had just entered Lantian, and the army was advancing slowly, not competing for time.When the forward Fenwu army sent the list, they all sent partial divisions to stand outside the walls of the docks that supported the bandit army according to the list. If anyone knocked on the door and refused to open it, they would directly bombard it with the generals and take it away. Its assets were collected for military use.

As for Guo Song's rear army, they spread out in a flat direction after entering Jingzhao territory, and all those fleeing in the wild were taken away, and they were imprisoned in the wreckage of the dock wall for preliminary reorganization.

The three front and rear armies each perform their own duties. The forward Fenwu Army Jingqi is responsible for sweeping the countryside and clearing the eyes and ears. Then collect the fleeing crowd, and clear the broken soldiers in the field.

As for Lu Yong's navy, they marched along the Weishui River. On the one hand, they provided supplies and supplements to the land army, and on the other hand, they cooperated with the offensive to deter the aftermath of the rural turmoil.

Master Wang pushed all the way, and nearly a month after sending troops, Huanxuan's troops on the middle road had already forced Bashang.

　The flu is rampant, the whole family is caught, sorry sorry. . .
