Horse on the World

Chapter 565
The Cyclone Battalion was able to withdraw from the Weizhou battlefield and appear right behind the Bai army, blocking the last hope of the Bai army, due to the huge changes on the Weizhou battlefield.

After Lu Fengchun returned from Baimadu, he immediately destroyed his army and returned to Weizhou, launching a fierce attack on Tian Feng's Changsheng Division who was firmly guarding the city of Weizhou.However, when Tian Feng withdrew from Liaoshen, he had already made a battle plan to defend the state. When the northern army was chasing Li Qing and besieging Baimadu, Tian Feng had already returned to Weizhou and began to build forts and fortresses. In this regard, Tian Feng has an expert, Wei Xin, a well-known tortoise master in Dingzhou. Wei Xin formulates and supervises the implementation of all city defense plans. In a short period of time, the city defense fortifications in Weizhou have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Tian Feng left all the infantry in Weizhou City, but left the two powerful cavalry teams of Changsheng Battalion and Cyclone Battalion outside Weizhou City. The tens of miles away from the city formed solidarity with Weizhou City, so Lu Fengchun had to take strict precautions against these two cavalry with terrifying combat capabilities, and reserved a large number of troops to guard against the other side's surprise attack. There was no chance to attack Weizhou City with all its strength. Lu Fengchun also wanted to wipe out these two cavalry teams first, but unfortunately, if you rushed in with a large group of troops, the other party would disappear without a trace, and if you simply sent cavalry to encircle and suppress them, the Northern Army's cavalry was really no match for the other party.After suffering two losses, Lu Fengchun also learned to behave. Apart from preventing the opponent's harassment, he focused on attacking Weizhou City, thinking that as long as Weizhou City is captured, what can you two cavalry do? Get out of Weizhou.

But Weizhou City has famous generals like Tian Feng and Wei Xin, and a group of strong generals such as Tian Xinyu, plus the strength of the Dingzhou soldiers themselves is more than a step stronger than the opponent, so although in Weizhou City, the number of troops is much smaller than that of Lu Fengchun , but three or four times the difference in military strength cannot shake Weizhou City. Even if you fill it with your life, you will not be able to fill this bottomless pit.

Weizhou City formed a stalemate. Lu Fengchun was unable to attack repeatedly, so he could only maintain the pressure on Weizhou City, patiently waiting for a major change in Dingzhou City. Once Li Qing died, Dingzhou would inevitably be unstable. Instability will definitely affect the frontline soldiers. Generals like Tian Feng will have to consider their own position and future status in Dingzhou, and the only way for a general to maintain his position is to have a strong army in his hands. troops.Perhaps at such a point, Tian Feng would no longer guard the city of Zhou to death, but would lead his army back to Dingzhou to fight for his share of interests.

However, Lu Fengchun did not wait for this day, but waited for the news that Li Qing had returned to Dingzhou.

When Dingzhou General Guo Shanfeng and Wang Qinian suddenly joined forces from Quanzhou and Zunhua raided Juzhou, Lu Fengchun began to have doubts. After disrupting and reorganizing the two troops, they attacked Minzhou.The first thing that came to mind was Li Qing, but Li Qing was already dead!Lu Fengchun thought of An Guogong Li Huaiyuan in Yizhou for the second time. Maybe after Li Qing's death, Guo Wang and Guo Wang took refuge in An Guo Gong, and only An Guo Gong had the prestige and ability to persuade the two Wangs.

Supported by this idea, Lu Fengchun continued to attack Weizhou for a period of time. Immediately, news came from Dingzhou that Li Qing returned to Dingzhou.

Lu Fengchun was in a panic for less than a day, and then resolutely stopped the attack on Weizhou City. Now he is not thinking about how to take Weizhou City, but how to save his life and the capital of the nearly [-] troops in his hand.Lu Fengchun knew that once Li Qing regained his strength and Dingzhou soldiers came to help, he would be in danger.

Lu Fengchun immediately withdrew, retreating towards Liaoshen. Now, Zeng Yifan must have heard the news, the lips of the two families were cold, and at this time of year, he had no intention of annexing the other party, and the other party must not have the intention to draw his attention. If there is profit, there will be two harms.The merger of the two, there is still a glimmer of life.

Lu Fengchun withdrew and Weizhou City broke the siege. Tian Feng sent Changsheng Battalion Wang Yan to follow and monitor Lu Bu's retreat, and at the same time set his sights on the Nafubai cavalry who bypassed Weizhou City and broke into Luzhou. Under this background, he was sent back to Luzhou to assist Xu Ji in destroying the remnants of Nafu's army.The day when the Whirlwind Battalion arrived was exactly the time when Diemo ordered the retreat.

The Bai cavalry was forced back to Luofeng City. When a nation who is good at field warfare and lives on horseback loses the courage to compete with the enemy on the battlefield, it is not far from defeat. Right now, there is only a thin Luofeng city wall It can provide them with a little bit of safety. These Bai cavalrymen have fought with Dingzhou soldiers. The ability of Dingzhou soldiers to break the city has always made them awe, because this is exactly what they are least good at. But now, they are To use the defense that one is least good at against the siege that the opponent is best at, the result is self-evident.

Luofeng City started to reinforce the city wall in a panic amid the billowing smoke and dust approaching from the enemy in the distance. They used sandbags to build up the city wall, and blocked the city gate with bricks and stones. When the Dingzhou guard in Luofeng City retreated, they burned all the supplies. Even the damaged ordnance was destroyed, so that the Bai cavalry who were determined to defend the city could not even find an eight-ox crossbow, let alone a heavy weapon such as a trebuchet.

What they relied on was the first-grade bows distributed to them by Dingzhou and the few arrows they carried with them.No one thought they could hold out.

Xu Ji and Jiang Kui's troops set up camp about ten miles away from Luo Feng. They were not in a hurry to attack this small town, because they already knew that Li Qing was not far away from Luo Feng and was trapped in Luo Feng's house. The Bai cavalry were old wings with broken wings, tigers without minions, no longer any threat.

Li Qing led his army to Luofeng one day later at dusk.Two large battalions of 2000 people were stationed less than five miles away from Luofeng County. The upper part of the city and the lower part of the city were clearly visible from both sides.

The lights that are as dense as stars illuminate the city of Luofeng brightly. Looking at the sea of ​​lights, the morale of the defenders on the city has fallen to the bottom. Maybe sometime tomorrow, the fierce attack will start. Can the city wall withstood the impact of a stone bullet from Dingzhou's heavy trebuchet?The short city wall, even if sandbags more than one meter high were piled on it urgently, still looks very pitiful. The Dingzhou army can't even use nest vehicles. They only need a dozen or so siege vehicles to form a condescending view of the city. attack.

The defenders on the city held their waist knives and leaned against the city wall, silently praying to Changshengtian to bless them, but everyone knew that Changshengtian had already given up on them.

"Listen! The sound of the matouqin!" A soldier with his eyes closed suddenly jumped up, grabbed the top of the wall, and looked down the wall. More soldiers stood up, and the wall, more strictly speaking, was not far away. In the opposing army's camp, there was not one Matouqin, but an ensemble of many Matouqins. These elite Bai people who were away on an expedition had not heard their local accent for too long.After playing the Matouqin for a while, accompanied by the melodious sound of the Matouqin, bursts of songs drifted with the wind and came to Luofeng City.

the vast wilderness,
The coolness is not over yet,
Green gradually fills your eyes again,
The warmth of my hometown is still so strong,
hardworking man,
You have to travel far again.
The bleak autumn and the faint moonlight,
I still don't see you back to my hometown,
For whom do little stars twinkle,
man on horseback,
Can you miss your hometown.
People of Yuan Shepherd,
When did you come home,
There is no singing of birds in the sky where the moon rises.
The kind Bodhisattva blesses the far away shepherd,
The piety of silent prayer is accompanied by the journey.
People of Yuan Shepherd,
You know it's dusk,
The setting sun is accompanied by the love of hometown and the lights of hometown.
Kind Bodhisattva,
Bless my loved ones far away,
The shepherd has hoped,
Embarked on the journey home.
flickering butter lamps,
everlasting star,
deep call,
Holding the heart from afar.

This is a barbarian folk song of missing relatives. Almost every barbarian can sing it, but today, this song of missing relatives sung in the city has a different meaning. The shepherd who has gone away has not returned. The hope is that loving mothers and fathers, wives, children and young children under the butter lamp will never look forward to them riding horses and carrying wild game, appearing beside them.

A soldier shed tears silently, and sang in a low voice. Slowly, the voice of the chorus became louder and louder. On the top of the city, the barbarian cavalry leaned on the top of the city, almost all of them burst into tears. Sang this song of missing loved ones.

Die Mo stood in the shadow of the city, and did not stop the soldiers from doing so. Although he knew that the move under the city was just to further break down the morale of the city, but now, do his soldiers still have morale? ?One day earlier and one day later.

Under the city, Jiang Kui and Xu Ji flew into Li Qing's camp.

"Commander!" Jiang Kui flew to Li Qing, widened his eyes, looked Li Qing up and down, and then knelt down on the ground with a puff, "Commander, I can see you! These days , worry me to death!"

Jiang Kui's actions made Li Qing dumbfounded, "Why, I'm afraid I'm a fake or something, I have to tell the truth from the fake!" While laughing and cursing, he helped Jiang Kui up.

Jiang Kui smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Commander, the situation was so dangerous at that time, you were really lucky to escape with all your body and tail, didn't I just want to see if you were injured?"

Jiang Kui spoke without hindrance, and Xu Ji on one side couldn't help but change his color. Li Qing escaped from the main force and fled alone. This is really a shameful thing for a leader. Jiang Kui If you say it like this, aren't you afraid that the commander-in-chief will be angry because of being humiliated?

Li Qing tapped Jiang Kui's helmet unceremoniously, making a loud bang, "Bastard boy, are you still expecting me to be injured? Lu Fengchun ran away from Weizhou?" Seeing Jiang Kui appearing here, Li Qing naturally Guess the changes in Weizhou.

"That boy, I probably heard the news that you returned to Dingzhou alive. Good guy, that one ran fast. We didn't realize it. Huh, he ran away cleanly, and Wang Yan followed. Yes, I guess, that’s the fate of someone who has eaten Lu Feng’s gray horse’s ass!” Jiang Kui laughed triumphantly, “I’m still smart, so I asked for this job right away!”

When Jiang Kui was finished, Xu Ji on the side seized the opportunity and bowed to Li Qing, "Xu Ji has met the commander!"

Li Qing nodded, "Well, General Xu, you did a good job in Luzhou this time!"

Xu Ji was a little ashamed, "Don't laugh at me, Commander. This time I was beaten into a mess by Naveu and Dimoco. I was chased and intercepted several times, but they broke through and escaped. Now I have to rely on the Commander to clean up my hands. Really. There is no place to be ashamed!"

Li Qing laughed loudly, "That's right, the Bai cavalry in front of us are the elite of hundreds of battles, even our Dingzhou elite must be careful when facing each other, it is not yet known who will win the battle, you can drag them until now before letting them step Going to the mainland of Dingzhou is already a great achievement, and the Luzhou soldiers seem to be in good shape. No one can erase your credit, and you don’t get credit for winning battles.”

Xu Ji was overjoyed, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Commander!"

Li Qing said with a smile: "Come on, let me introduce this to you, Jiang Kui, you should know him, this is Lord Boyan, Lord Qiyu, this is Lord Jingdong, General Xu Ji, this is Li Wen and Li Wu. These three people are the newly promoted generals of this commander, General Zhou Tong, who is temporarily serving as the commander of the third battalion, and this is Shao Xiaolong, who is temporarily serving as the deputy commander of the Panshi Battalion!"

Xu Ji smiled all over his face, cupped his hands and said, "Long time, long time!" Everyone in the tent clasped their fists in return.

However, Jiang Kui turned a pale face at Boyan and the others, his face was full of annoyance, he turned his face and said to Zhou Tong and Shao Xiaolong with a smile: "Congratulations, two generals!"

For this senior, both Zhou Tong and Shao Xiaolong respectfully saluted him, "General Jiang, please take care of me!"

Jiang Kui waved his hand, "I'll take care of you ass, as long as you fight well and lead your soldiers well, you will have a bright future under the command of the commander. If you really want me to take care of you, hehehe, I guess the commander will beat you My ass, I have been beaten by the handsome man a lot!"

Li Qing snorted, "If they dare to really look like you, go into battle shirtless and rush to the front of the whole team screaming, I will immediately let them be the head of the post!"

Zhou Tong and Shao Xiaolong looked at Jiang Kui and laughed sheepishly.Jiang Kui said nonchalantly: "Commander, I really can't change it. Whenever I see the enemy in front of me, my blood surges. Officers charge forward. This is the symbol of my Whirlwind Battalion!"

Li Qing shook his head, too lazy to argue with him.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's discuss and discuss how to win the opponent in front of us!" Li Qing called everyone to sit down.

"There is something to discuss!" Jiang Kui muttered, "The army suddenly pressed down and crushed them!" Seeing Li Qing looking over with his eyes sideways, he immediately turned his head, pretending not to see, and pulled Xu Ji next to him insisted that Xu Ji sit on top of him, but Xu Ji refused. The two of them gave way for a while, and Jiang Kui finally sat on it, because he saw that Li Qing had turned his gaze to the table. Turned to the other side.

Just at this time, the melodious sound of Matouqin and barbarian folk songs sounded outside the military tent.Xu Ji couldn't help saying: "Marshal, what a plan!"
