I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 246 Who's Young Tang
In front of Gansong Ridge.

Thousands of Qingtang warriors lined up neatly, their armor shining brightly in the dazzling sun. They held spears and shields, and all had long swords in their waists.

Zeren from Liuzhi Township rode on a tall Qinghai Cong, loudly boosting morale.

"Warriors of Liuzhi Township, you are Qingtang warriors, let those cowards of Jin Kingdom show your courage."

"Who dares to be afraid of fighting, I will definitely hang a fox tail on his head when it gets dark."

In Qingtang, it is honor to die in battle.Death in battle for generations is considered a first.

Foxes are considered a symbol of cowardice, and those who are afraid of fighting will be hung with fox tails on their heads.For Qingtang people, this is more unacceptable than death.

Then he drew out his long sword and swung it forward, "March."

The spears of the Qingtang people are slightly thinner and longer than the spears of the Jin army.The armor is also extremely strong, and it cannot be pierced without a strong arrow or crossbow.

On the contrary, the bows made by Qingtang people are weaker, far inferior to the bows and crossbows of Jin State.

This also determines some basic forms of combat when the two armies confront each other.

The neatly lined Qingtang soldiers began to line up to attack the Jin army camp in Gansongling.

The Jin army, on the other hand, relied on the fortifications and terrain, armed with strong bows and crossbows, and shot arrows at the Qingtang soldiers.

Although Qingtang is half-farming and half-grazing, and is rich in good horses, he is actually better at fighting on foot.When fighting, line up and march forward, one after the other.

Facing the rain of arrows from the Forbidden Army, the Qingtang people held shields to cover them, but the rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun could not be completely prevented. Many Qingtang warriors fell under the rain of arrows. The wounded lay on the ground crying like thunder.

The Qingtang warriors at the back immediately filled the vacant positions in front and continued to march forward.

Staring at the dozens of steps that the arrow rain broke through, the condescending Jin army began to put down the rolling logs and stones, and rolled down by taking advantage of the terrain, causing screams in the Qingtang army's queue.

Many people were hit on the head and their brains were cracked.There are also some broken tendons and bones.

At this time, their armor can't play the slightest role.

The Jin army, which was in a defensive position, also quickly completed the formation before the enemy broke in. The soldiers used spears and antlers and other fortifications to kill the enemy through the fence.

Spear vs. spear, there is no trick at this time, just a simple straight stab and retract the gun.

However, the Jin army completely gained the upper hand by virtue of its fortifications, and the crossbowmen withdrew to the back and continued to shoot, causing casualties to the Qingtang army continuously.

In just one morning, the Qingtang army left behind hundreds of corpses, as well as a large number of hand wounded people.

Tuoba Chide and the general Lun Zanpo watched the battle before the battle from the watchtower, and couldn't help but sigh that Gansongling's terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Looking at it this way, Buddha may need thousands of Qingtang warriors to reincarnate before we can set foot on the land of Gansongling."

A few thousand people are not too many for the entire Qingtang army of one hundred thousand.

But where do these thousands of people come from? This is a question that the Maharaja and the coach need to consider.

The current Liuzhi Township tribe has lost hundreds of people, and there are almost the same number of wounded. This is not a small loss for the Liuzhi Township tribe.

However, Zeren from Liuzhi Township, a young man, did not show any fear of war, and was still boosting morale, commanding the army to continuously attack the Jin army's camp.

"Change the clan in the afternoon, and let the Nori tribe take over."

Tuoba Chide looked at the battle situation in front of him, turned his head and said praises to the general.

Lun Zanpo naturally understood Maharaja's consideration.

The tribe of Liuzhi Township has always been a vassal of the royal family and is close to the royal family.It is an important force to balance the domestic situation in Qingtang.

If the loss is too great, it will naturally affect the balance between the royal family and the wealthy family.

The same consideration was given to letting the noble family Ye Lishi play in the battle. As a maharaja, as long as it was an opportunity that could weaken the noble family, he would not let it go.

"Tomorrow, let Zuo Wanhu under the command of the royal family play." Afterwards, Tuoba Chide continued to assign.

Let the powerful clan finish the fight, and not let the royal clan fight, they will definitely make trouble.Right now, for Tuoba Chide, the first thing is to quickly capture Gansongling, and then capture Songzhou.

In addition to being the gateway to Songzhou, Gansongling also connects the passages between Central Sichuan, Bailan and Tuxiang.

These tribes have always been vassals of the Jin Dynasty. Once this channel is cut off, Qingtang can let Bai Lan and other tribes be subdued.

One ebbs and another grows, and this is extremely important for the contest between Qingtang and Dajin in the northwest.

In the final analysis, when the two countries confront each other, the war is fought over people, land, money, food, and resources.

"This opportunity is rare now. The Jin people themselves are in civil strife, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for us to take down Xichuan."

Tuoba Chide sighed.

If Honglian hadn't entered Shu, he would never have chosen Xichuan as the direction of his troops.Everyone knows this.

As the coach, Lun Zanpo is actually not optimistic about the result of using troops this time, but if there is such an opportunity, he will send troops no matter what.

In the words of the Central Plains, it is "once in a thousand years".

"Majesty, there is news from Sichuan." While speaking, a Nu Yalang walked over holding a small scroll made of silk cloth.

Tuoba Chide took the scroll and looked at it, his expression remained unchanged, but his hands seemed to tremble.

"Go down."

"Yes."

After the Nuyalang went down, Tuoba Chide passed the scroll in his hand to Lun Zanpo.

When Lun Zanpo read it, his expression changed slightly. This news was definitely bad news for the Qingtang Army.

Jiannan Jiedu envoy Fu Jinchuan, Marquis of Wu'an, led [-] cavalry in person, and came straight to Songzhou.

Although in order to inspire people during the discussion, Tuoba Chide directly announced that he would be able to take Fu Jinchuan's head and grant ten thousand households.

But he never felt that this reward really had a chance to be fulfilled.

It wasn't that he was reluctant, but that he simply didn't have this opportunity.

Even if he could take down the whole of central Shu, it would be much easier than taking Fu Jinchuan's head.

Because the earth is dead, but man is alive.

Now Fu Jinchuan led the army to come, still at [-] paces.This also means that there is not much time left for the Qingtang people to attack Gansongling.

If you can't pass Gansongling quickly, when Fu Jinchuan's army arrives, the Bailan and Qiang tribes beside you will definitely launch an attack on the flanks of the Qingtang army to show their surrender to the Jin Dynasty.

If the people of Qingtang took the first place to win Gansongling, the Bailan Qiangs would not dare to act rashly, and would only swear allegiance to the winner after the dust settled between Qingtang and Dajin.

The Qingtang people can also continue Gansongling to confront the state of Jin, advancing and attacking, and retreating and defending.

In other words, Gansongling is related to the strategic initiative of the two armies.

Therefore, Tuoba Chide immediately made up his mind that the Liuzhi Township tribe would continue their onslaught in the afternoon and hand it over to the royal family Zuo Wanhu tomorrow.

At this time, it is a bit ridiculous to think about checks and balances.

In the military account, Nakano Lirong is arranging the attack order of the ten thousand households under his command, and he is asking these thousand households to pay attention to the losses of their own tribes. In other words, they are to preserve their strength.

These thousands of households are all surnamed Yeli, so they naturally understand what the patriarch means.

As a result, Brother Ye Lirong was still giving instructions to his brothers and nephews face to face, and Nu Yalang came here to deliver orders.

"What is your majesty doing? Didn't you tell us to send troops in the afternoon to replace Liuzhi Township's troops? It's only been a while, and it's changed?"

"Yeah, what's going on here?"

After Nu Yalang left, the nobles of the Nori family began to discuss directly.

Brother Ye Lirong waved his hand, "Okay, you all go back, look after the people of each family, and be ready at any time, I will go ahead and have a look."

In all fairness, Noriyoung was unwilling to send troops.

He is not afraid of war, but he is worried that the tribe will lose too much in the war, and after returning to the West Sea Plateau, they will be manipulated by the royal family.

How can Noribe gain a foothold in Qingtang?
It is not the military exploits made in every battle, nor the favor of the Maharaja.But tens of thousands of people in the account department.

Tens of thousands of accountants represent tens of thousands of young and strong soldiers.

They can hold swords in both hands.

This is the strength of Ye Li, Ren Duo and other powerful families in Qingtang.

Therefore, as patriarchs, they must first ensure that their own tribe's interests will not be damaged, and they must even be able to enjoy the same benefits as their own tribe.

It would be great if there was no need for Yeli to send troops.

As for Qingtang, it is the Qingtang of the Maharaja.
