Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 216
Looking at more than a dozen carts of ordnance supplies, Zhao Decheng was overjoyed, rubbed his hands and said to the people below: "Master Qin sent us thousands of knives and guns, 200 sets of light armor, and 1000 sets of cloth armor, and distributed them to the sons and daughters." go down."

"There are 5 new sets of general armor, all of which are brand new Chiba armor, which happens to be one set for each of us."

All the military academies were very happy and thanked Qin Guan in unison.

After the military academies left, Zhao Decheng asked Xiong Er with a smile, "General Xiong, did the Xin'an Army also send so much?"

Xiong Er chuckled: "A little more than here, uh."

When Zhao Decheng heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "It should be. After all, Mrs. Qin is in the Xin'an Army. With these, I am very content."

Xiong Er laughed.

Time enters November, and the north wind howls thousands of miles of grass yellow.

It snowed yesterday, and the sky and the earth turned white. Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound like thunder in the distance.

Not long after, the sound got closer, and it turned out that it was a huge cavalry team advancing unhurriedly.

Thousands of horseshoes stepped on the snow, instantly smashing the original whiteness here, turning it into an unbearable filth.

The person at the front of the team is tall and healthy with a beard, a pair of eyes with fierce eyes, wearing a suit of armor, a gray fur coat, and a fur hat with a pointed peak. Two long white fur hat collars hang down on his chest , dancing with the wind.

This person is none other than Yelu Shigenobu, King of the North Court of the Liao Kingdom.

At this time, a general stepped forward and came to Yelu Chongxin to report: "Your Majesty, the Yellow River is just ahead, and it has been surveyed. The Yellow River has frozen and the cavalry can pass."

Yelu Shigenobu nodded.

Ask the person next to you, "Is the appointed time up?"

This man looked like a Han Chinese. Hearing Yelu Chongxin's question, he replied: "The two armies marched side by side, and the agreement is today."

Yelu Chongxin showed a slight smile on his face, and said: "Zhao Guo never imagined that we will attack on a large scale at this time of year. After crossing the natural danger of the Yellow River, I see what else they will use to stop the iron hooves of our Daliao Kingdom."

"Let's go and kill Qizhou after crossing the Yellow River. I will take 20 cavalry and crush them all the way to the city of Jinling without giving Zhao Guo any chance to breathe."

Rumble.

With the sound of horseshoes, the huge cavalry team began to run.

On the other side of the border between Zhao and Liao, a huge army also appeared. This army was led by Xiao Chucai, the king of the South Court of Liao Kingdom, and it also had 20 soldiers.

Xiao Chucai is a cautious person. After approaching the border, Xiao Chucai called his generals, Baomi Sheng and Qu Li, and ordered: "Bao Mi Sheng, I order you to lead 2 people to directly kill the Pingzhou Pingding Army. Just trap them, not let them form a siege, and at the same time be optimistic about our retreat."

"The final order will be given." Baomi Sheng said.

"Qu Li, I order you to lead 2 people to directly kill the Xiongzhou Xin'an Army. If you can destroy it, destroy it. If you can't destroy it, watch him. You can't let him send troops to rescue other Zhao troops. At the same time, you also need to watch Baode Army. ."

"The general will definitely destroy them." Qu Li said confidently.

The Xin'an army garrisoned the city.

Several soldiers rode wildly all the way into the city.

When I came to the command post, I shouted loudly: "Report~~~"

"Report to the general, the front of the army hastened to report that the army of the Liao Kingdom has come to the border."

Han Shicheng and Li Xuan were shocked when they received the battle report. Han Shicheng asked urgently, "How many people have come, who led them, and where did they go?"

The soldier said: "Return to the general, the Liao Kingdom sent [-] cavalry to invade, and the leading general is Qu Li, and now he has arrived at Shixia Ridge."

Han Shicheng was shocked: "With an army of [-], is it possible that the Liao Kingdom is planning to occupy Xiongzhou?"

Li Xuan said tremblingly with fright: "I'm afraid that's the case. Hurry up and send troops to stop the enemy. I'm going to write a memorial and report to His Majesty."

They didn't know that things were much more serious than they imagined.

"Dangdangdang."

The dense sound of gongs alarmed the entire city of the Xin'an Army.

All the soldiers in Tuncheng gathered, and the generals went to the command post to discuss matters.

General Han Shicheng reported to the other generals, and everyone was shocked when they heard it. Although Zhao Liao had a lot of conflicts in the past, he sent [-] soldiers to invade. This is not an ordinary robbery.

"Commander, we only have [-] infantry and [-] cavalry. Going out of the city to stop the enemy is like hitting a stone with a pebble. If we defend the city, we can still save some strength. When they go deep into Xiongzhou, we will unite with other troops to deal with them. Encircle them." A military academy said.

"But if we don't fight and let the Liao army bypass our city, we are cowardly fighting, and we will all be held accountable." Some generals retorted.

Han Shicheng faced Chen Rushui and ordered: "Listen to my order. The whole army will set up a formation at Chitangguan to block the Liao army. As for the Tuncheng, the Xiang Army will be responsible for guarding it. If we can't stop it, we will return to Tuncheng and wait for the next step." Feng ordered."

Soldiers are like this, knowing that they can't do anything, but when the country's life and death are at stake, they will rush forward even if they die.

The entire Xin'an army set off, and only Xiong Da and other Xiang troops remained in Tuncheng. When they heard the news of the war, everyone seemed worried and at a loss as to what to do.

Standing at the top of the city, Xiong Da shouted loudly: "Soldiers are defending their homes and the country. They have gone out of the city to meet the enemy. We must do a good job of defending the city and leave them a place to retreat. Brothers, put all the defenses together. The supplies are all moved to the top of the city, and if the enemy comes, we will let them all die under the city."

Qin Guan was sleeping soundly at first, but when he was in a daze, he heard a sudden knock on the door.

"What's the matter?"

Qin Guan closed his eyes and asked in a muffled voice.

"Master, the front military newspaper said that the Liao Kingdom invaded Xiongzhou."

Qin Guan opened his eyes suddenly, got out of bed quickly and opened the door, saw Qin Mao who was anxious outside, and asked, "What's going on, please explain carefully."

"Young Master, General Xiong sent someone to knock on the gate of Xiongzhou City to report that the Liao Kingdom sent troops. The messenger is in the main hall." Qin Mao said.

Qin Guan quickly came to the main hall.

The soldiers standing in the main hall looked anxious, and when they saw Qin Guan, they immediately bowed and saluted, and said, "My lord, General Xiong hastened to report that the [-] troops from the Liao Kingdom have invaded and have arrived at Shixia Ridge. General Han Shicheng led all the Xin'an troops, Go to Chitang Pass to block the enemy."

Qin Guan knew this person, he was a small school near Xiong Da.

Qin Guan was surprised, he really didn't expect the war to come so fast.

It's a big winter now, and the Liao Kingdom used to fall off the border in autumn, why the big winter came here.

More importantly, Qin Guan has not yet arranged it.

Before, he had thought about how to deal with the continuous military harassment of the Liao Kingdom. They only invaded last fall, and they probably won’t come this year. Qin Guan still thought that there would be peace for a year or two, and he would develop well, and then make some modern If the Liao Kingdom dares to invade, it will teach them a profound lesson.

But unexpectedly, before he was ready, the enemy made the first move.

The [-] soldiers of the Liao Kingdom may not seem like many soldiers, but the combat power of the soldiers of the Zhao Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom is different. The Liao Kingdom is basically cavalry, and the Zhao Kingdom is mainly infantry. force.

Last year, the Liao Kingdom harassed and invaded the border, but only sent 1 people here, and it turned Xiongzhou upside down, raging for more than half a month, and finally gathered a few troops from Hexi Province, and finally forced them to leave.

See clearly, it's not about eradicating, it's about forcing them away.

It can be seen that the strength of Zhao Liao's army is very different.

Now [-] cavalry are sent to attack, how can it not be worrying.

Qin Guan sorted out his thoughts, and immediately said to Qin Mao: "Immediately notify all officials in Xiongzhou to discuss matters at the Yamen."

Not long after, officials from Xiongzhou came over, Qin Guan reported the news, and everyone was shocked, Xu Tongpan said: "My lord, this is not an ordinary looting, sending [-] troops, they don't want us in Xiongzhou, right? "

Qin Guan said with a sullen face: "I think so too, so we have to hurry up and inform all the yamen servants and the Xiang army, and ask them to notify the two counties that all the people will enter the city to take refuge. All the food that can be taken away should be transported into the city as much as possible. It cannot be left to the Liao people."
