Chapter 683 Song Diaoer’s brain is rebellious, and Taiping Ling returns without success
No matter how Song Diaoer kowtows or begs for mercy, Xu Fengnian has long gone away.
Song Diaoer saw Hong Piao’s feet from the corner of her eyes. Before he died, she suddenly raised her head and roared: “Xu Fengnian, let me die at your hands!”
Three thousand and five hundred Youqi quickly left a battlefield full of corpses. Behind her were the thick smoke caused by the burning of food and fodder. This was the fifth time Youqi had helped Beimang ignite the “wolf smoke” outside the gourd mouth. As many as 14,000 auxiliary soldiers of Beimang were killed, and nearly 200,000 cattle and sheep were separated. The northernmost part of Youqi’s horse hoof footprint was actually already stepping on Longyaozhou, and then quickly headed south. In this battle just now, it was no longer the Youqi’s initiative, but the Beimang’s interception. Beimang used the lives of two thousand ordinary racers to determine the position of this elite Youqi, so as to compress the Youqi’s room for the Youqi to move around. I believe that the main cavalry in Longyaozhou will soon be moved.
Yu Luandao suddenly looked up while retreating and saw two birds chasing rapidly in the sky. At the same time, Xu Fengnian drew a feather arrow from his arrow bag and pulled his bow like a full moon. The arrow slowly shifted with the rapid flight of the Haidongqing and Beimang peregrine falcons. When the peregrine falcon was forced to lower the height and fall to escape, with a bang, Xu Fengnian shot out an arrow and shot the peregrine falcon on the spot. The huge inertia knocked the peregrine falcon into the clouds, and the extraordinary six-year phoenix rose higher. In front of everyone, the sea Dongqing pierced the sky and rushed towards Xu Fengnian. It hooked the peregrine falcon’s body with its claws, gently threw it down, circled over the owner’s head for a few circles, and flashed away. Xu Fengnian threw away the peregrine body and put the feather arrow back into the arrow bag tied to the left side of the saddle. The cold crossbow is well-made, but heavy crossbows are often overwhelmed in a battle and are still easily damaged in large quantities. Although the light crossbows carried by Youqi are more resilient than heavy crossbows, after five cavalry battles, there are not many left, both the crossbow tools themselves and the crossbow arrows, so they have to replace the Beimang cavalry bows seized after the war. Xu Fengnian and Yu Luan Dao both used an iron-tied bow with a strong branding of Western Shu craftsmen.
Yu Luandao looked around, worried. If he hadn’t been able to support the war, or even without the Beimang’s subsequent troops to surround him, his cavalry would have really collapsed. Previously, Jizhou was rushing for 500 miles, but the strong cavalry could not withstand it. Even though they were already one man and two horses at that time, the war horses were still very harmful. Long-distance raids are worth pursuing speed and surprise, but since it is a “long-distance”, the cavalry can support it with their perseverance, but the war horses are not good, especially this season is not the season when the autumn is high and the horses are fat, and the horses are not fat enough. The horse officials in the Beiliang Ranch are not gods, and they cannot change this reality. Later, after a short rest, I rushed to the outside of the Hulukou for a short period of 600 miles. Fortunately, the Beimang war horses seized at that time minimized this invisible damage, and could be transferred continuously on a large scale and a short gap of five cavalry battles.The war horses can still be rotated continuously, but at this stage, the cavalry who has become “rushing from one battlefield to another” can no longer withstand it.
Yu Luandao subconsciously glanced at Xu Fengnian in armor and military uniform beside him, then withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the faces around him. The young general was full of pride. Even if you can hit ten thousand Youqi to this point, even with Yu Luan’s cold temperament, you are still proud. It is not uncommon to kill more than 14,000 enemies. The cavalry that escorted the supplies and food of Beimang were all second- and third-rate combat powers of the border towns of the Southern Dynasty. There were two cavalry battles from contact to ending, which was simply one-sided massacre. But the supply line between Longyaozhou and Hulukou was paralyzed by most of them, and finally involved the passive transfer of at least the elite cavalry on the Wanbeimang border. Thousands of cavalry led their noses in circles. This was the greatest achievement of Yu Luan Dao and Youqi.
On the way to the south, Fan Xiaochai and Mi Fengjie escorted the Youqi and Xu Fengjie to escort the wounded and left in a young voice: “Our bow is too tight.”
Yu Luandao nodded and said: “It’s hard to find a place to stop now. Since the two young generals who are known as the “Nabo” in the east have also set off, it is impossible for us to retreat eastward. Besides, the prince also said that the spy has shown that Yang Yuanzan ordered Hong Jingyan to lead half of the Rouran cavalry to withdraw from the gourd entrance to block our southward route.”
Yu Luandao looked west. Going to the west is the northern line of Liangzhou. The main army of Beimang, commanded by the King of the South Court, was there, and was launching an offensive to Hutou City. The total strength of both sides must be 700,000. When I went there, I really threw myself into the trap and gave the Beimang barbarians a head and military merits. Not to mention the only 3500 cavalry left, even 35,000 cavalry, it is not enough for Beimang to make dumplings without the support of its own army. Even if Yu Luandao meets the two Nabo or Hong Jingyan’s Rouran Iron Cavalry, even if the entire Youqi under his command dies in battle, he will not go west.
Xu Fengnian also looked west, as if waiting for someone.
Xu Fengnian was waiting for the horse thief leader Song Diaoer. This person, a thousand horse thief who was brought up by Huangfu Ping, may not change the overall situation in Youzhou, but after all, it can help Yu Luan’s Youzhou cavalry to breathe a sigh of relief. Youqi is now like an exhausted martial arts master. If you change to a new breath, you can fight again. If you can’t even change this breath, you will only be exhausted. The reason why Xu Fengnian didn’t say it was not because he had a small plan to give this cavalry unexpected surprise, but because he did not dare to have too much expectations for Song Diaoer, who had only met one time. If it weren’t for Song Diaoer’s horse thieves’ team, there were Beiliang masters lurking and restraining them, Xu Fengnian wouldn’t even let Song Diaoer come and lead the way. Put yourself in Song Diaoer’s position and consider the problem. Who wouldn’t be surrendering to Beimang? The situation is now firmly above the trend. If Song Diaoer rebelled and took 3,500 Youzhou cavalry as a lie, Yang Yuanzan, who was tortured by Yu Luandao, would probably not be stingy with a commander of ten thousand men. Even in XuFeng Nian’s opinion, if Song Diaoer, who was originally a gentry in the Southern Dynasty, had never thought about it at all and stood on the side of Beiliang from beginning to end, that would be a strange thing. As for the truth, Xu Fengnian has to meet Song Diaoer’s messenger before he can judge. Once Song Diaoer dares not come in person and is not in the team, then Xu Fengnian can only regard this piece as a change of color. Then Yu Luan Dao and Youqi, who have no way to retreat, are destined to have to bite the bullet and fight to the end with the two big Nabos or Rouran Iron Cavalry. And Xu Fengnian would also go to find Song Diaoer alone. Since he could let Beiliang let Huangfu Ping bring Song Diaoer to dominate the horse thief forces outside the pass, Xu Fengnian could also take it back with him.
Give hope and let people disappoint you, it’s better not to say anything from the beginning.
Xu Fengnian asked, “How many scouts are left in Fan Fen?”
Yu Luandao said bitterly: “The original scouts are less than 60 now. After that, more than 800 cavalry were replaced one after another, only to maintain the number of 400 scouts. Therefore, it can be said that Victor Fan was the most severe. If you have no choice, if you fight outside the pass, you will definitely die in the forefront as a scout.”
Yu Luan pursed his dry and blood-oozed lips, and a smile appeared, and his voice was hoarse: “But we won’t fight in vain after fighting. The combat power of the 3,500 cavalry has improved a lot compared to before leaving Youzhou. As long as we breathe a sigh of relief, we can completely recover. We dare to say that we can compete with the Rouran Iron Cavalry with the same force as Hong Jingyan. Before that, who would have such a thought in Youzhou, which is known for being only infantry, would have such a thought. If these 3,500 people can return to Youzhou alive, it will definitely be of great benefit to the entire Youzhou battle situation.”
The deputy generals Shi Yulu and Su Wenyao both had subtle expressions and did not dare to speak. They were afraid that Xu Fengnian would misunderstand the words of the main general and mistakenly thought that Youqi was complaining about the embarrassing situation of being in death.
Yu Luandao suddenly laughed and said happily: “For this trouble, not only Long Yao, Hexi and Orange states are damaged by bones and bones, but also with great energy. I am afraid that the northern grasslands will continue to cut off meat. The great things that Tuoba Bodhisattva finally suppressed before may start to be ready again. They had objections to fighting Beiliang first. In the eyes of these guys who did not see rabbits and did not show eagles, no one would be happy to gnaw a place with only hard bones and no fat meat on their bodies. It is comparable to Jizhou, which has empty troops. As long as you pass Jizhou, it will be a rich Central Plains with fertile soil, with countless gold and silver and populations, and you will be snatched away. Otherwise, it would be fine to fight the two Liao Dynasty, once and for all. As long as you hit Gu Jiantang, you will drive south and the troops will be at the city. If you don’t say how many enemies you have killed in this journey of Hulukou, you will definitely make Dong Zhuo and Taiping Ling, who insisted on going to Beiliang first and then plotting for the Central Plains, feel so angry that you are rushing to the ground, maybe you are swearing now! “
