My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 225 Low Match ‘Zhao Kuo’

The white fish belly fills the eastern sky, and every inch of morning light breaks through the clouds.

Grass clippings were flying in the Lijiaping wilderness, and the ground in the fields and mountains and forests was shaking. Thousands of soldiers and war horses were rushing through and over the mountains and ridges in a race against time to reach their destination.

"Quick! Quick! Follow up from behind!"

"Comrades from the Youyan Army, don't let the Xiliang Army get ahead!"

"Wait a minute, I haven't gotten on the bus yet!"

The carts carrying grain were rolling up and down in the fields and roads. There were more than a dozen soldiers crowded on them. There were also soldiers who accidentally flew out of the cart and chased behind them with spears.

There are also war horses galloping in groups in the mountains, forests and fields. The cavalry above are whipping their whips wildly and quickly pass the carriages carrying soldiers. Behind them are the slaves who are far away from the cavalry. They are carrying The parts of the trebuchet and the ghost crossbow were running forward according to the car and horse hoof prints.

The huge six-wheeled ancestral hearse was guarded by the shield warriors and was also rushing to the front. Su Chen held the Xia Wang Sword in both hands, his eyes were cold and yet filled with the heat of cutting through everything. He looked at the running path in his field of vision. The torrent.

"The Ancestral Dragon has spoken, so let's fight to decide the outcome..." He looked into the distance and whispered.

Behind him and on both wings, more cavalry were running quickly, crossing the front.

More than 50 miles away, a huge camp stretching from east to west was slowly waking up. The newly replaced governor, Du Lingyan, was thirty-six and in his prime. He was extremely dissatisfied with Zhao Guangshi's procrastinating tactics when he was in Luyang. The young man complained in front of Yuan Feng, Minister of War, and at the same time expressed openly and secretly that he could and dared to fight.

Yuan Feng, who had long complained about Zhao Guangshi's 10,000+ soldiers and horses, admired this heroic and energetic young general of the imperial court.

In addition, Yuan Feng saw through the fact that the two armies outside the city had been defeated one after another, and the emperor was already angry. He wanted to fight a beautiful turnaround, and successfully promoted his subordinate Du Lingyan to the position of governor.

Now that the whole court is frightened by the Yan army's successive victories, only these energetic young generals want to fight and dare to fight!
Du Lingyan was also well aware of this, and in compliance with the intentions of the emperor and the Minister of War, he changed Zhao Guangshi's previous defense deployment and military regulations as soon as he took office today.

He even replaced some middle-level generals, and he comforted some of the complaints from some of the leading generals in the tent.

"The replacement of middle-level generals is not to exclude them, but to better enforce military orders and prohibitions!"

He was walking among the generals in the tent with his hands behind his back, and he spoke with confidence.

"...I know you have complaints in your heart, but you also know that the orders of the old generals have been implemented in the army for a long time. If they are not replaced, they will definitely conflict with my new military orders. I run the army very strictly, and I even require orders to be issued. It must be done, so we temporarily withdraw them, and then bring them back after the Yan army on the opposite side is destroyed."

Du Lingyan knew that some of these generals would be conflicted and dissatisfied, so his words implied that he was very strict in running the army, and you should not fall into his hands by violating the rules.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves broke into the camp gate and rushed towards the commander's tent. The person who came was a scout. As soon as he got off his horse, he was captured by several Du Lingyan's soldiers outside before he could open his mouth.

"I have an army..."

"The Grand Governor has just changed the military regulations. You are not allowed to ride a horse within [-] steps of the commander's tent!"

"I'm……"

"It doesn't matter whether you are the King of Heaven or not, Zhang Zui!"

Several soldiers stepped forward and pushed the scout to the ground, with the spear handles on his neck. One of them lifted his leather helmet, grabbed his bun and raised his face, and slapped him with his hand several times. Fall down.

In the distance of the camp, there were several figures on horseback running towards the camp gate.

In the handsome tent, Du Lingyan's words continued.

"...The old general is prudent, but the delay in fighting makes His Majesty and Yuan Shangshu unhappy. You also know that the Yan army traveled a long distance and attacked the Wei Dynasty in three directions. How could the baggage, troops and horses be intact on the way? Linqiu and Guangfu Although they said they won the two battles, why were they so secretive? The purpose was to prevent us from finding out what he was and what he was. Now that he was retreating 27 miles, they said they respected General Zhao. In fact, it was because they had a guilty conscience and did not have enough troops to win. I have 16 soldiers and horses in the Wei Dynasty!" Seeing the expressions of the generals, Du Lingyan was still satisfied. He smiled: "Now that I take office, I will sweep away the decadence of the old generals before and take the initiative to attack with 16 soldiers and horses. , whenever and wherever the troops are strong and the horses are strong, all the generals will work with me to create a great Wei Dynasty and make the children of Yan State frightened!"

As soon as the words fell, screams came from outside the tent, and then the sound of horse hooves came galloping, causing all the generals in the tent to look sideways at the curtain.

"What's going on outside?"

The brewing atmosphere was suddenly interrupted. Du Lingyan frowned and called the soldiers outside to ask.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, a cavalryman broke into the tent without permission."

Mengtuo stood up and said, "Grand Governor, could he be the scout who came to report the news?!"

These words made Du Lingyan's face change slightly, and he said: "How could I not know." He immediately strode over and opened the curtain, and saw a man with leather armor and dark skin, his cheeks were red and swollen.

Before he could speak, several fast horses passed through the gate and entered the Chinese army camp. They jumped off their horses one after another, and saw that the comrades who came first were pinned to the ground, which made the following scouts look shocked and angry.

"Grand Governor, I'm here to report the military situation... What does this mean?!"

Du Lingyan coughed dryly and quickly waved the four soldiers who were pressing and slapping people away, "We will discuss this later. Let's talk about the military situation first!"

The several scouts who were anxious to report back saw their companions being beaten like this. They gritted their teeth and slowly raised their hands, knelt down on their knees, and then slowly opened their mouths to report.

"...Grand Governor, there was movement in the Yan army camp early this morning. The Yan army originally stationed there suddenly stopped retreating and came here to kill them!"

Another scout also raised his hand: "When I come back, we will have reached thirty miles, and I'm afraid it will be close to twenty miles now!"

"You guys just came back to report!"

Du Lingyan roared angrily. The several scouts across from him clasped their hands and said nothing. Instead, they all turned their faces and looked at the scout who was in a state of embarrassment and whose cheeks were red from being beaten.

Here, Du Lingyan's rough face suddenly turned red, but at this moment, facing the enemy was the most important thing. He hurriedly turned around and gave instructions to the generals.

Among the generals who came out, except for the two he brought with him, the generals from Huizhou had already left and returned to their own camps to give instructions on how to face the enemy. The generals from Gyeonggi looked at the governor as if they were mentally retarded and were confused. Time felt that Master Zhao Guang deserved to be a famous general.

"Meet the enemy first. I'll do something wrong here, and I'll worry about it later."

After some explanations, he quickly pressed down these trivial and embarrassing matters. After all, we would talk about internal matters later. Then he issued orders for the army to assemble one after another, and shot a quick message to the Wu Yue soldiers and horses and Sui Qing Er on the left and right wings. The state army, in response to the central formation, quickly crossed the field and surrounded the opponent from two directions.

He spoke quickly and issued orders one after another. The more than [-] troops of Yan State, who had the intention of destroying the country, had already begun to press over.

Horses rushed in one after another, reporting battles one after another, and rushed into the military camp like snowflakes. When the news came crazily, the fences connected to the camp gate were smashed to pieces by a stone bullet.

The archers on the sentry tower fired loud arrows and shouted hysterically. In the distant wilderness, trebuchets threw a large number of stone bullets, flying across a long trajectory and falling towards the Wei military camp. While smashing down the fence, they were surrounded by dense The cavalry ran across the wilderness and charged here.

The cavalry plowed the ground, making a thunderous sound, and the whole world changed color.

　　Continue coding later
