Chastity Layman

  Chapter 588 Falling asleep on feet

  Chang Sun Chong and his subordinates finished cleaning the battlefield, and learned from some wounded Eagle Guards of the Yifu tribe that Gaoning King Abao was gathering troops on Mantou Mountain to stop the Tang army.

   "Mantou Mountain."

Changsun Chong asked his family to fetch the map, and after examining it carefully, he exclaimed, "My great ancestor Shangdang Ding Wang served as the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty Zhengxi, the fake Sikong, and the seven towns of Hexi. The army attacked Tuyuhun, recovered the invaded frontiers in Longyou, Hexi, and finally pursued the Tuyuhun army to Mantou Mountain for a decisive battle, defeated Tuyuhun, beheaded tens of thousands of people, and captured hundreds of thousands of cattle and horses and returned them.

   "Unexpectedly, more than a hundred years later, I would be able to follow the footsteps of my ancestors and come to Mantou Mountain."

The great ancestor mentioned by Changsun Chong is the posthumous title Changsun Guan, the Shangdang king of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He is the grandson of Sikong, Shizhong, and Shangdang Wang Changsun Daosheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty. , became a general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, defeated Tuyuhun several times, forcing Tuyuhun Khan to become a vassal and pay tribute to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

  During the time of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, except for the descendants of Liezu, all the clans and descendants of meritorious officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the princes were all reduced to dukes, and the dukes were reduced to marquises.

  Only one person, Changsun Guan, said that although he inherited the king's title, his grandfather, Changsun Daosheng, assisted the previous dynasty and made great achievements. The eldest grandson Guan is also diligent in the affairs of the king and has made many meritorious deeds, so he specially intends to retain the king of Shangdang.

  Ever since Changsun Chong can remember, his family has asked him to learn the history of the eldest grandson's family, recognize the family tree, and read the family biography. He remembers the famous meritorious ancestors of the eldest grandson's family very well.

  More than a hundred years ago, Gaozu Changsun Guan took the post of the General of the Conquest of the West, and supervised the soldiers and horses of the Seven Towns. He conquered Tuyuhun and made a triumphant return. But now, he has become the vanguard of the Ninth Army of Longyou, and he has once again come to the place where his ancestors made meritorious deeds.

   "Abao, King Gaoning of Yifubu!"

Changsun Chong recalled that when Gaozu Shangdang King Ding defeated Tuyuhun at Mantou King, it was King Gao Ning, the patriarch of the Yifu tribe, who fought **** battles with him on Mantou Mountain for seven days, and finally King Tuyuhun came, but was still defeated by Changsun Guan .

  Is this the reincarnation of fate?

  The entanglement between the Changsun family and Yifubu?

  A few brigade commanders came over with a bunch of ears, "Is there really someone who is not afraid of death? Fu Yun has already fled. What kind of thing is this Gao Ning Wang Abao, who dares to stop the car with his arms? Is this news reliable?"

Changsun Chong said solemnly, "You don't know that more than a hundred years ago, during the Northern Wei Dynasty, my great-grandfather was the general who conquered the west, and the governor of the seven towns in Hexi to attack Tuyuhun. He once pursued Mantou Mountain. The leader of the Yifu tribe, King Gao Ning, led his army to resist my Gaozu for seven days and nights, and in that battle, my Gaozu led his army to kill 30,000 troops of the Yifu tribe, and the blood flowed like rivers."

   "Ah, there is another matter. It seems that the Gaoning Wang family is quite kind. Fu Yun has run away, and they still want to fight hard."

   "Yes or no, just follow me to find out, dare you?" Changsun said boldly.

   "Why don't you dare, let's go!"

  A group of sturdy soldiers, all of them got on their horses, and each of them had more or less a string of Yifu knight's ears hanging from their waists.

  ······

   One day later.

  Qin Lang led the main force of the Northern Army with 20,000 horses to the foot of Mantou Mountain, and Xi Junmai led his eldest grandson to see him.

Although Qin Lang was entrusted by his eldest grandson Wuji to take care of his eldest grandson Chong, on the other hand, both Qin Lang and his eldest grandson Chong were appointed sons-in-law by the emperor. five. And the eldest grandson Chong decided to be the emperor's concubine, Princess Runan, who ranked third.

   Therefore, the two are still brother-in-law, and Qin Lang even had to call Changsun Chong a brother-in-law.

  Of course, marriages in aristocratic families have always been complicated. Here, Qin Lang has to call Changsun Chong brother-in-law, but on the other hand, Changsun Wuji betrothed his daughter to Qin Lang's son. From this point of view, Qin Lang is from Changsun Chong's uncle's generation again.

   Fortunately, the nobles often have their own opinions on things like seniority. There are many sisters who marry uncles and nephews, and brothers who marry aunts and nephews.

  This kind of complicated relationship, they still call it kissing and kissing.

  But no matter how you talk about it in normal times, anyway, this is a military camp, so you can talk about your status in the military.

  Elder Sun Chong respectfully asked his brother-in-law or uncle Qin Lang to participate in the military salute.

   "It's grown darker and stronger. I heard that your kid has made another contribution, using a battalion of troops to wipe out 500 Tuyuhun horses in a field battle?"

"It's from the Yingwei Ranger Battalion of the Tuyuhun Gaoning King Yifu Abao. The equipment and riding and shooting skills are not bad, but a little tender. After a few simple lures, he was fooled and surrounded by us. Live and annihilate, escaped a few."

  Qin Lang nodded in appreciation and said, "Good job, I have ordered someone to give you credit. What else did you find?"

"The king of Gaoning, Yifu Abao, ignored Fuyun's order to retreat, but intended to stop our army here. He evacuated the tribe's old, weak, women, children, cattle, horses and livestock in advance, and assembled the headquarters and more than 30,000 young and strong soldiers passing by. Intent to fight our army to the death."

   "Oh, this Ah Bao looks like his name, very fierce, but why didn't I see them?"

   "When we came, there were still some supplies left that couldn't be taken away. They hurriedly withdrew to the mountains."

  Qin Lang was surprised.

   "Since this Abao is going to fight, why did I come and run into the mountain again, is it the same plan as Fu Yun?"

   "Mount Mantou is full of rangers. We haven't been able to go deep, and we haven't been able to find out the deployment of the Yifu Department. We are humble and incompetent."

  Qin Lang waved his hand.

   "You have done well enough, well, you go down and rest for a while. Now that you know Yifu is in the mountains, that's enough."

  Qin Lang sent his own soldiers to convene the generals to discuss matters.

Although Fu Yun has already escaped from here, since there is still King Gao Ning who wants to stroke the tiger's whiskers to find a sense of existence, and there are still so many of them, there are more than one hundred thousand people in total, Qin Lang How can I miss it.

   This time Qin Lang chased Fu Yun, his main strategy was to capture his king and destroy his main force. Now that he found such a large group of Tuyuhun people, he naturally had to take care of him along the way.

  The so-called Abao was going to fight to the death with Tang Jun, Qin Lang was really not at ease.

  What a leopard, it’s just a cat or a dog.

  At the foot of Mantou Mountain, where Abao originally set up his camp, the Qin army set up a temporary camp.

  Although Qin Lang despised cats and dogs, those generals did not dare to underestimate the enemy. They had to be careful outside to be able to sail for ten thousand years. If they were not careful, they would be in danger of capsizing.

   20,000 horses formed two large battalions about one or so apart, and the two battalions were separated by about two miles. This was obviously a little worried about Murong Shun's 10,000 Tuyuhun and Dangxiang surrendered soldiers.

   Even if there is any emergency, it can prevent chaos.

   "Wei Gong, don't care about him, Bao, Mao, Gou, since he wants to fight, then he will fight."

"That's right, I'm just thinking that marching is boring. It's good to jump out of such a leopard, and kill him by the way. Good guy, there are hundreds of thousands of horses and hundreds of thousands of livestock. This has gathered targets for us and saved us everywhere. Looking around."

  Strategically, all the generals regarded Yifu as nothing, and they all bluntly said that they would beat the rabbits, and took some time to clean them up by the way. From a tactical point of view, it is always dangerous to have such a huge army of more than 100,000 people behind them.

  Someone is still shouting there, if this kills them, it will make a lot of money.

   After deciding to fight, and then discussing how to play, everyone is much more serious.

  No one dares to be careless about such details.

  The discussion lasted until midnight before the military discussion ended.

   "Be careful after dark, and beware of the attack from the Yifu tribe."

  Qin Lang confessed.

  Although everyone thinks that they may not dare to come, otherwise why would they flee into the mountains and fight directly in this formation. But it's always right to be careful, Duan Zhixuan asked to be on guard at night, and Qin Lang agreed.

   As night fell, the camp at the foot of the mountain was very quiet.

   These experienced Longyou soldiers knew very well that there was a strong enemy on their side. Except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else was sleeping as fast as possible to recover more energy.

  However, even if it is sleeping, everyone is inseparable from each other. This is a valuable experience. Once the enemy attacks at night, in the dark and panic, it may be too late to put on armor, and may even find no weapons. If there is no armor or soldiers in the melee, it is a dead end.

  One tent for ten people per fire, horses tied outside the tent.

  Everyone sleeps with blankets. Although there are soldiers on duty at night, they still spontaneously send one person to sit on duty at night in turn. Once there is any movement, he will immediately wake everyone up and prepare for battle.

  Experience tells everyone that when you are really attacked, if you prepare earlier, you will have a higher chance of survival, so it is worthwhile to do so.

  Elder Sun Chong was called into Qin Lang's tent at night, and the two brothers-in-law slept together head to head.

Qin Lang didn't have any other special hobbies, but he just took the opportunity to get close to Changsun Chong. After all, Changsun Chong was the future head of the Changsun family, and this kid's performance on the battlefield this time proved that this kid has good abilities and character. The future is bound to have a bright future, and being close to each other is naturally beneficial.

  Eldest Sun Chong is a little uncomfortable, he doesn't know what kind of relationship he should get along with, is it brother-in-law, uncle or nephew, or boss and subordinate?

  Qin Lang rested his arm on his pillow, and took the initiative to chat with Chang Sun Chong about some anecdotes and pleasures in the army, and talked about some vulgar things between soldiers, but Chang Sun Chong quickly got used to it.

   "What ideal do you have?" Qin Lang asked with a smile.

In the darkness, Chang Sun Chong hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have read a lot since I was a child, and my grandfather hopes that one day I will be able to enter the political affairs hall as a minister, saying that the world will be unified, and sooner or later I will stop martial arts and cultivate literature. I used to think this way too, but this time I came to Longyou, I suddenly hoped that one day in the future, like my great ancestors, I could be a great general, supervising the military, conquering non-officials, and serving the country's borders."

  In the darkness, he said again, "I envy you Saburo very much now, you are a role model for our generation."

  Suddenly, a loud horn came from outside the tent.

   "Night Attack!"

   "Xianbei attack at night!"

  Zhang Chao rushed in with Qin Lang's armor in his arms, "Sanlang, Yifu Abao is coming."

  Qin Lang calmly asked, "How many are here?"

   "In the dark night, people surrounded us from all directions. I can't count them all. It is estimated that they all rushed over."

  Qin Lang hummed, "Put on the armor for me."

  Chang Sun Chong had already stood up quickly, "Xuan Xiang, I request to return to the camp."

   "Go."

   "Pay attention to safety, you will become a general in the future, or even become a general, so you can't break it here."

  Chang Sun Chong turned his head, grinned, and stretched out his hand to hammer his chest, "Please rest assured Xuanshuai, Xuanshuai take care."
