The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 213
It was the late winter month, and the sunlight that shone through the clouds fell on the quiet land, and the temperature was gone. Soon, the quiet dust particles gradually trembled, and the next moment, the huge horseshoes came down with a bang, and a circle of dust flew up. forward.

"drive--"

"Show those women in the Shence Army what archery is!"

With a high-pitched shout, several knights rushed out of the dense forest, hung some leaves, drew bows and arrows on horseback, turned around and shot backwards, the moment the string sounded, the five Shence troops chasing behind In the middle, someone fell off the horse in response, got caught in the stirrup rope and was dragged all the way.

"drive!"

The scouts of the Shence Army who were chasing behind glanced at the fallen comrades, shouted violently, drew their bows together, and also shot back. The arrows were scattered in the sky, and someone screamed and fell off the horse. The running Longzhou scouts turned around. He turned around and drew his sword, and fought with the scouts from the Shence Army who were chasing up.

In the chaos of the battle group, someone grabbed the robe from the ground and put it on the horse's back in front of him, patted the horse and brandished a knife and shouted: "Let's go!"

In the chaos, when the swords collided and touched, they heard the voices of their companions and pulled the reins to distance themselves from the enemy. They quickly ran around a small circle and gradually withdrew from the battle group.

The hysterical Shence Army scouts immediately continued to catch up, and then met the reinforcements of the Longyou scouts coming from other directions, and immediately turned into a fleeing situation.

A scout battle like this had already started in this wilderness when Longyou troops advanced more than 200 miles into Chang'an, cutting off news and intercepting each other, and small-scale fights broke out every day.

Just to ensure that the troops in the rear are well-informed, they choose the most favorable route to advance smoothly. Looking down from the heights of the mountains, the huge Chang'an west, among countless forests and villages, is like a torrent of troops. Moving forward, the carts and wheelbarrows loaded with grain and fodder ran over the rough road under the guard, and above the galloping horses, the knights yelled in a low voice, urging them to move forward with the order to go up to the peak.

In the silent army formation, tens of thousands of people are marching, even if there is only the sound of footsteps, there is a buzzing noise. Pairs of eyes are watching the galloping horses passing by, carrying orders to the riders, and occasionally come back from afar The scout took off his armor, panted heavily, and handed over the information he had been listening to.
An army is like a person's limbs and bones. The brain transmits various information through huge and complex nerves, and it is extremely complicated to control tens of thousands of people, or even more civilians.

Geng Qing is not very good at this aspect. Fortunately, Li Jiji and Zhao Zhouyi are both veterans in the army, so he doesn't need to worry about it, but he can still handle military affairs and news from outside.

Among the marching team, Geng Qing didn't take the four-wheeled cart, but sat on the donkey cart without a carriage, looking through the piled up notes in the straw-covered cart, asking Jiuyu to help Note down some of the words that came out of his mouth.

"No matter when and where, news is important in Chang'an, and the response is also very fast. It can be seen that Li Ye has been very concerned about the new Shence Army over the years. By the way, who is leading the army?"

On the opposite side, Jiuyu who was taking notes with a pen raised his face, "Du Rangneng, Wei Zhaodu."

"In the news, is there any mention of their past deeds?"

"The news from the day before yesterday, I said something, Li Ye pacified Xichuan, Wei Zhaodu was the head coach, and led the Shence Army into Shu. It seems that they didn't make any achievements. After returning, they were still promoted by Li Ye."

Geng Qing pursed his lips, stared at the newly sent note, and smiled suddenly, "It's him, but the pacification of western Sichuan is mainly due to the Jiedu envoy named Wang Jian. He just led the troops through a cutscene. As for Du Rangneng, come to think of it, he was also a minister of the imperial court. I was in Chang'an a few years ago, and I heard his name, which can be regarded as having some ability. I didn't expect to have climbed to the position of prime minister."

"Look at the Shence Army that came this time, the Zuolonghu Army, the Youshenwu Army, the Youtianxing Army, and the Zuotianxing Army. It seems that Li Ye really wants to revive the prosperous Tang Dynasty and restore these establishments. Tsk tsk, 6 people, more than half of the [-] magic strategy army he built in the past three years."

After joking and joking, the smile on Geng Qing's face suddenly turned cold, and he looked at the note at his feet again. Dou Wei and Dachun, who were driving outside the donkey cart, saw his strange behavior and hurriedly asked what happened.

"Almost missed a person."

Seeing Geng Qing holding a piece of paper in a daze, Jiuyu frowned, as if following Geng Qing's train of thought to sort out the mistakes and add a sentence.

"Li Shunjie?"

Geng Qing glanced at him and nodded: "This person, as I remember, is already the General of the Twelve Guards. Li Ye is not an idiot. He shouldn't let two civil servants lead the army, but let a general stay in Chang'an. Unless."

Geng Qing's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

"The emperor in Chang'an was almost fooled. Among the twelve guards, the left and right Longxiang troops were formed as cavalry, but they didn't show up at this time. It's really frustrating. Dachun, you will leave this news to Li later. There are also Zhao Jun envoys to send them, and they must be told to be careful not to be restrained by two civil servants, and let Li Shunjie go around and attack."

As he spoke, he took the pen and ink from Jiuyu's hand, and on a blank piece of paper, organized the mistake into a document, handed it to Dachun and sent it to Li Jiji in front.

Not long after, when Dachun came back, Li Jiji also came with him. He got up before Geng Qing and jumped off the horse, arching his hands and cupping his fists.

"Sir, there is no need to be too polite. The previous command has been handed over to Zhao Junshi. When Ji Ji came over, he just asked Mr. if there is a good strategy to defeat the enemy."

As a veteran general in the army, Geng Qing didn't believe that the other party had no ideas in his mind, but he came here out of respect. He didn't understand military strategy and tactics, so he couldn't speak out to interfere, so he pointed out the possible sneak attack of the Longxiang Army.

"They are all cavalry, and their equipment must be excellent. If it takes time to find the opponent's whereabouts, it is better to plan. First, they will attack Du Rangneng and Wen Zhaodu first. The Longxiang army will have to come out at this time to ambush and then confront the rear. He pinched back and forth!"

Geng Qing lowered his palm and made a beheading movement. Li Jiji knew the military strategy well, so he naturally understood the strategy Geng Qing said, and without hesitation, he turned around and rode forward, and the words in his mouth turned into orders and passed on quickly. open.

"Investigate the main force of the Shence Army!"

"Order all the formations to hurry up and tell Zhao Junshi that he will fight the front formation. This time, he will fight fast and slow, disturbing Du and Wen's formation!"

"Chuanfu Daozhao led his cavalry to detour."

He stopped talking, looked back at the donkey cart in the vast marching team, and then galloped on the horse, his voice continued to reverberate.

".The Longxiang army that is targeting Li Shunjie must be intercepted, and if possible, behead him!"

A series of orders were conveyed as quickly as he spoke, and one by one the following orders galloped away along the way, and then scattered among the other marching teams in this land.

At the end of November, more than a hundred miles west of Chang'an, the sky is getting cloudy, and there are scattered raindrops falling on people's heads, bringing a chill.

Outside the harvested farmland, among the wide and flat roads, the army in bright armor is marching with banners and flags. The villages in the distance are filled with smoke, as if the mountain fog is entangled on the mountainside. The returning farmers are carrying hoes and standing on the ridge , Looking over from a distance, watching the flags with the words "Tang" and "Tianxing" fluttering in the rain.

The marching team was divided into two groups of more than [-], and the roads in the fields and forests echoed each other, and the scouts kept going back and forth in front of them to search.

This afternoon, in the cold and peaceful environment, the watching farmers vaguely heard a different sound, like a bird call that had never been heard before, and turned around to look back with the hoe on their shoulders. The village not far away Next to it, someone and a horse came out of the woods. They thought they were the scouts of the army in front of them. On the road outside, hundreds of riders rushed here.

On the road, the advancing Tianxing army shouted vigilantly. Those who reacted and those who did not, all became confused at this moment.

"Ah."

The farmer opened his mouth wide, only had time to yell twice, and lay down on the ground with his head in his arms. The next moment, a huge war horse jumped over him, and the knight on the horse pulled out the blade at his waist, and marched on the road ahead. The long dragon slammed into it, and in the vast fields, hundreds of cavalry burst out with barbaric hoots, and directly killed the comrades in front of them like a torrent.

The swords and soldiers collided with each other, and the blood of people and horses spread instantly.

Forcibly cut the 'long dragon' into two sections.
