Chapter 619 The Avengers went south to seek provocation, and the Qiang and Liang cavalry were connected in close combat
The noble family members paid attention to the country being destroyed, and the inheritance of the torch of a family and a family cannot be destroyed. But for an army, the backbone supported by countless martyrs cannot be broken!
After winter began, the war broke out on Guangling Road came to an end, and it was the turn of Beiliang to smoke.
There is no snow in winter this year, and I don’t know when it will fall. But the scallops of the 300,000 Bian Jun’s waist were unsheathed anytime and anywhere.
More than 8,000 strong Qiang cavalrymen went straight from the border of Gusai Prefecture between Qingcang and Linyao. As Chu Lushan expected, the Qiang cavalry with fast horses and light armor was used by Liu Gui to cut off the connection between the two military towns.
The Qiang people were once thorns in the eyes of the overlords of the Central Plains in history, and the Dafeng Dynasty was harassed by the Qiang cavalry who came and went like the wind for two hundred years. Every Qiang man rode sheep and shot birds and rats when he was a child, and when he was a little older, he rode his horse and shot foxes and rabbits. He was almost born to be a sharp man on the horse’s back. The light cavalry of various countries on the Central Plains gradually came onto the stage, which can be said to be a largely forced by the Qiang cavalry. The Qiang cavalry is also one of the “teachers” of the Central Plains cavalry. Before and after Xu Xiao entered Beiliang, the Qiang tribe gradually withered, especially the Xu family’s iron cavalry often used large-scale Qiang cavalry to train troops, which was undoubtedly a tragic incident for the Qiang tribe. Therefore, the Qiang tribe is a natural ally of Beimang. This time, when the Central Plains invaded the south, leaders of various Qiang tribes all resolved their revenge and made oaths. They even joined forces with other Northwest tribes that were suppressed by the Xu family’s border army. Then they gathered nearly 9,000 cavalry and more than 20,000 war horses, and fought the banners of Qiang cavalry to revenge the Xu family in Beiliang.
This Qiang cavalry, which was originally poor and destitute on the long border, was finally able to realize the people who had been dreaming of for hundreds of years with the strong support of the Northern Mang and Southern Dynasties. Slightly different from ordinary cavalry, the Qiang riding sabre used a ring-arm knife that had already left the war stage. The sword is tied with the arm armor. Unless the entire arm is cut off, the knife will not be separated. In addition to the ring-arm knife, the Qiang cavalry also has a traditional short sword called “Paifeng”, which is hung on the outside of the thigh, just like the village man harvesting rice in autumn. They use this thing to cut the enemy’s ears and heads to serve as spoils.
More than 8,000 Qiang cavalry galloped south, bent down for the strong man of the leader, and reached out to rub the slap of the ancestral hair handed down from his ancestors. This ten thousand men’s eyes were cruel and full of hatred.
When the Central Plains slaughter, the surname Xu, broke into the northwest, and all the local adults who were not subject to discipline were killed on the spot. Even those children who were above the horse could not escape the disaster. Although they were not killed, they were cut off their thumbs by the Xu cavalry! This means that even if these children survive by chance, they cannot hold their weapons firmly and cannot swing their swords at the Beiliang border army. The middle-aged ten thousand men’s surname was Jin. When his tribe was flattened by the Xu family’s horse hooves, he was lucky. He was a young man and followed a team of young men to hunt and reserve winter food. When they return to the tribe, except for the dead people on the ground,Only those children who were crying with blood on their hands, and at the feet of their children were the bodies of their parents.
He vowed to use this slap in his own hands to cut off the thumbs of all the people named Xu in Beiliang. As long as the surname is Xu, even a baby in the cradle will not be spared! Especially the man who slaughtered the son, the guy who inherited the new Liang King, not only wanted to cut off the young man’s thumb, but Xu Fengnian’s head, limbs, and ten fingers one by one!
The ten thousand men slowly straightened up and looked at the vast land with a wide view in the south, with a grim smile on his face.
I heard that there was a man named Xu Longxiang in Liuzhou who slaughtered his young son. He was very famous among the powerful and noble masters of the Southern Dynasty. Last year, he smashed several military towns in Gusai Prefecture and was covered in holes. He did not expect to use less than 9,000 cavalry to capture this person alone, but before cooperating with General Liu Gui to completely wipe out Pingliuzhou, he must drink the blood of the people in the Northern Liang Dynasty and make the young man with dirty blood flowing in his body feel in pain. The young man had only 30,000 cavalry in the Dragon Elephant Army, and wanted to defend the entire Liuzhou. In the eyes of the ten thousand men, it was just a rift of brothers in the old drama of the Central Plains. It was clearly because the young vassal king was afraid of his younger brother’s great border achievements, so he deliberately made Xu Longxiang and all the young men’s direct descendants die.
The water is dry and the grass is yellow in winter, and the war horses are far less fat than autumn and summer. It is the least suitable for military affairs in the Central Plains, especially the people in Jiangnan. But for the cool and reckless sides who have been familiar with the severe cold for a long time, as long as they are determined to fight, even if it is the damn snowy weather, they can fight to the death on any battlefield.
Jin Cheng, the Qiang cavalry leader, likes fighting in the deep winter. The scene of nailing the enemy’s chest with a spear and then dragging a scarlet bloody road on the snow is really more refreshing than drinking wine.
The Qiang cavalry’s rushing attack has always been known for its lightning speed. While praise is also revealed, the Qiang cavalry’s weakness is that they can only do “one-time business” on the battlefield. Although it is easy to advance and retreat, it is difficult to expand the results of the battle in a balance of power before gaining an absolute advantage and launching a head-on pursuit. There is neither a phalanx of infantry, nor a heavy cavalry that is pressing the formation. This time, the envoys of Beimang were extremely disrespectful to their Qiang cavalry. Even if they were asking for help, they were still more jealous than the top. Before negotiating the price, they even said in person that they were just something on the cake. If they dared to ask for the price in a big way, they would be careful not to protect themselves. He also threatened that if he did not follow the military orders of General Liu Gui, he would simply not have to return to the territory. At that time, the Beimang army would directly regard their Qiang cavalry as the enemy.
Jin Cheng grinded his teeth hard. If I hadn’t thought about avenging the Xu family, who would have liked to deal with you, the gang of civil servants with pig heads and fat intestines!
Jin Cheng looked up at the distance and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
More than 8,000 Qiang cavalry rushed south quickly, cutting off the two cities of Qingcang and Linyao, making Qingcang City, the city of Liuzhou, isolated and helpless. In his opinion, it was indeed an unexpected and excellent strategy, and Qiang cavalry did not have to take any risks. But he’sOn the way south, more than 20 cavalry scouts kept exploring the way ahead. Each cavalry had to run ten miles away from the Qiang cavalry army. Regardless of whether they contacted the enemy, they had to turn back and get the second cavalry behind them to fill the position. The ranger repeats in this way to form a meticulous cycle. Logically speaking, a ranger should have returned to the front of the army at this time. Moreover, when Beimang sent troops to Liuzhou this time, he specially presented him with a scout. He was an old guy with a dangerous aura. He wore a sword on his waist and had a long breath. He was not a military horse railing. He thought he was a hidden master in the martial arts world. It can be seen that this time Beimang attacked Beiliang, and even the martial arts world forces that had been tamed for twenty years were not willing to tell them.
Jin Cheng is not the kind of madman who is obsessed with for revenge. He knows the importance of it, otherwise he would not be the leader of the ten thousand men. This time he came to assist Liu Gui’s army in taking advantage of the situation. The most feared situation was to directly collide with the main force of the Dragon Elephant Cavalry. However, the Beimang envoy who was dressed and decorated the same as the family of the Central Plains guaranteed that the 30,000 Dragon Elephant Army, except for a small number of people who might cruise on this route, would be mostly confined to the area east of Qingcang City and Qingcang. Otherwise, Beiliang would directly regard Liuzhou as an abandoned son and ruin the Dragon Elephant Army, an elite cavalry that had been fought for many battles.
But Jin Cheng, who was not a madman, began to worry that he would meet a madman, King Beiliang who would do anything to stabilize the throne, and a commander of the Dragon Elephant Army who became a abandoned son.
I waited for a while, but still couldn’t wait for the Ranger Scout.
Jin Cheng, who had frown on his brow, raised his arm and swung back and forth slightly, indicating that the cavalry behind him slowed down his forward speed.
About half a stick of incense was spent, a scout finally appeared in the sight of the Qiang cavalry. The war horses rushed towards him, and Jin Cheng and several commanders who were accelerating to step forward were shocked to find that there were several crossbow arrows behind the scout!
Before he died, the seriously injured scout tried his best to tell the precious military information that he had found with the lives of more than twenty Qiang riders.
Eight miles ahead, there are three thousand enemy light cavalry dragons and elephants.
The long-lasting Jin Cheng is both happy and worried. What I was happy was that the other party had only three thousand cavalry, not the main force of the Dragon Elephant Army, but worried that our army was catching up with the Dragon Elephant Army, which was claimed to be invincible at the border. Now there are two ways to walk in front of the Qiang cavalry. Continue to go south, eat the three thousand cavalry with the advantage of military strength, and continue to grit your teeth and complete the responsibility of cutting off the entire Liuzhou in half. However, the Qiang cavalry will suffer serious casualties, and the confidence to bargain with Beimang after the victory of Liuzhou in the future will be weak. The second way is to avoid its sharp edge, not to fight with the three thousand dragon elephant light cavalry, but not retreat, but to move forward in a roundabout way, and then there will be inevitable contact and war. At most, a few symbolic battles can be fought or retreated with the Qiang cavalry’s first transfer speed in the world for hundreds of years.
Jin Cheng decided to choose the latter after a little thought. They are not Qiang cavalryThe national strength is enough to compete with the entire Liyang Dynasty. Compared with the poor Beiliang who is not loved by the uncle and grandma, the Qiang tribe is even more surviving in the cracks. When Jin Cheng made a decision, two of the commanders from other tribes also obviously showed relief. A young Qiang tribe leader named Ke was extremely angry at the cowardly behavior of the chief general Jin Cheng, and shouted on the horse’s back, threatening to lead his more than 1,600 Qiang cavalry of his tribe to fight to death. Jin Cheng had a gloomy face and patiently told the naughty green that although the Dragon Elephant Light Cavalry was inferior to the heavy cavalry that started with, it was definitely not an enemy that could be easily dealt with. In addition to this 3,000 troops, there was a Dragon Elephant Army to support him, then the more than 8,000 people would not want to leave Liuzhou alive.
But when he was young, he saw with his own eyes that all the male elders of the family were chopped off by the Xu family’s sword. He couldn’t listen at all. He insisted on fighting to the end. He also sarcastically mocked Jin Cheng, saying that he, the ten thousand men, had lost all the face of the Qiang man.
Jin Cheng sneered in his heart, gently turned his horse’s head and gave his way, “Ke Zhan, you want to die, I won’t stop you.”
The young thousand-man raised his arms and shouted, and more than a thousand Qiang cavalry behind him roared in unison, waving the arm-bound sword vigorously.
When the young man named Ke Jie crossed the position of Jin Cheng’s war horse, his face calmed a little, and he sneered: “I would like to use one thousand,600 cavalry of my clan as a vanguard. If the ten thousand husbands still want to obtain the first military merit in the Liangmang War, what should he do? I believe that the ten thousand husbands’ wisdom is already very clear.”
