Chapter 768 Liu Jinnu took the initiative to attack the enemy, and the Yan family soldiers refused to form the Mang cavalry
The sound of the horn resounded throughout the vast land in Qingcangcheng.
Liuzhou finally ushered in the first magnificent war that swept almost all the troops on both sides of the Western Front.
The 30,000 infantrymen of the Longguan nobles, as the main force of the siege, slowly spread out the formation front and launched an offensive against Qingcang City.
The cavalry in the four towns, including Wazhu and Junziguan, closely protected the southern part of the infantry, confronting the Dragon and Elephant Army from afar.
General Liu Gui, the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, sat on the horse’s back and personally supervised the attack on the city. Behind him were the 30,000 Liu family troops who remained unmoved and the 10,000 personal guards brought by Tuoba Bodhisattva, the king of the North Court.
A noble general from Longguan with the surname Jia had no concern about whether the siege was successful. From time to time, he turned his head to look at the large area of Northern Liang black armor arranged three miles away.
The four town cavalry in Gusai Prefecture can really withstand the Longxiang Army’s rushing formation. Not to mention that the Longxiang Army can easily drill out its own cavalry formation, even the siege infantry broke through, it only takes two rounds and turns, so there is no need to fight this battle! Do you want to give Beiliang the greatest result since the Liangmang war? Does General Liu not understand that Liuzhou’s battle is not the gains and losses of a small Qingcang City? In order to capture Qingcang City, it is worth taking such a risk on the entire western front
He finally couldn’t help but rode his horse to Liu Gui. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Gui said coldly: “I have decided, don’t say more!”
This 10,000-strong captain from Beimang was also annoyed, but he still tried his best to suppress his anger and tried his best to be calm. He advised the old man who was highly valued by His Majesty: “General, the risk of such a directly split cavalry and infantry formation is too great! It is not difficult to win the Xiao Xiao Qingcang City. Even if we hide 20,000 in the 30,000 infantry… No, even if ten thousand armored infantry waited for the Longxiang Army to rush forward. He took such a desperate bet and despised the Beiliang Iron Cavalry’s rush forward, it’s inappropriate for the general!”
Liu Gui didn’t say anything.
The general finally said angrily: “General, you are taking the lives of 30,000 Longguan Erlang for your own official career!”
Now there are undercurrents in the temples of Xijing in the Southern Dynasty. Of course, all the generals on the Western Front who were originally from the Southern Dynasty have heard of it. It is considered polite to say that Liu Gui’s name is not worthy of it. You are so polite to ask Your Majesty to change his commander. Even the candidate is clear: except for Tuoba Bodhisattva who is already on the border of Liuzhou, even the seedlings that shine on the eastern front of Hulukou were picked up. If it is reasonable to say that the launch of the military god Tuoba Bodhisattva, then using Zhongtan to make things happen is simply a slap in Liu Gui’s face. How long does it take for Zhong Tan to join the army to lead the army? How long did General Liu Gui’s military career last? Huang Songpu, the king of the old Southern Court, returned after resigning from office and replaced Liu Gui who had no effect as the commander of the Western Front, and undoubtedly called the highest in the Southern Dynasty. Therefore, various statements are circulating in the Eastern Front Army that has been stationed in Liuzhou for a long time, and are very vivid.
At this moment, the general’s face changed drastically. A horse slowly arrived, and the man wearing light armor on the horse’s back said in a deep voice: “Go back to the battle formation.”
The general swallowed, and without saying a word, he turned his horse’s head and returned to the infantry formation.
Liu Gui glanced at the visitor and asked with a smile: “King of the North Courtyard, do you think the Dragon Elephant Army dares to swallow 30,000 baits and the four town cavalry with weak combat power. The bait is big enough.”
The visitor was Tuoba Bodhisattva. He glanced at Qingcang City: “Wang Lingbao may not be able to see through the general’s intentions, but Li Mofan, who is also the deputy general of the Dragon Elephant Army, can probably see it. However, there are Yang Guangdou and Chen Liangxi in that city. If Li Mofan is smart enough, he will follow the trend, otherwise he will not be able to advance to the Northern Liang border army in the future. Even if Li Mofan is calm enough, as long as the Dragon Elephant Army launches a charge and falls into a deadlock, Li Mofan can’t stand it and die. I believe he is not so stalwart.”
Liu Gui laughed and said, “On the surface, my old guy with a precarious position in charge needs to seek medical treatment in a hurry. Their battles on the two fronts of Beiliang Hutou City and Xiaguang City are in full swing. Liuzhou also needs a big victory to inspire people, so both sides have arrived.”
Liu Gui curled his smile: “At the time, if it weren’t for the other 20,000 personal troops of the King of the North Court were on the way to speed up, even if I, Liu Gui, lost the position of command, would still not fight in this battle. In this Liuzhou, I cannot eat all the dragon and elephant army in one breath, and it is meaningless to fight in a small battle. The battle between Liangmang was originally intended to use Liuzhou as the winner, but now it has just been a big circle and finally back.”
Pusa Tuoba hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: “After this battle, you, General, will probably be recalled to the Southern Dynasty.”
Liu Gui smiled and said, “It’s okay, just move the position for Fatty Dong on the middle line.”
Bodhisattva Tuoba chuckled softly, “General Liu, don’t worry, you and I will join hands to enter the Central Plains in the future.”
Liu Gui nodded.
The old man sighed: “I’m sorry for these Southern Chaolangs who fought bravely. From the yellow sand of the desert, I just died in the yellow sand of the desert. I couldn’t see the prosperity of the Central Plains, even at a glance.”
In a Youzhou military camp less than two hundred miles away from the mouth of the gourd, a thin one-eyed veteran slowly walked onto the parade. Before the old man officially appeared, Chen Yunchui, deputy commander of the Northern Liang Infantry Army, Huangfu Ping, General Huangfu Ping, and Governor Hu Kui and others were standing on the stage. The old man with a bad appearance walked to the center of the stage. What’s strange is that even if he is not familiar with the outsider in the Youzhou army, if he sees a scene in front of him, he will regard the center of the old man as the first priority as a matter of natural. The veteran in iron armor stood with his hands on his sword, looking at the lieutenant soldiers under the scorching sun below the stage, and had not spoken for a long time. The old man didn’t say anything, as if he wanted to see all the nearly 10,000 infantrymen who were about to go to war in this battle and recognize the flag of the Youzhou infantry old-fashioned camp..
The veteran general looked very bad, and finally slowly spoke: “The general has passed away. The prince is not in our Youzhou either. I, Yan Wenluan, even if I don’t die on the battlefield, I guess I will not have a few years of life. So I took this opportunity today and said something I have accumulated for nearly twenty years.”
The veteran general picked up the Beiliang knife with one hand and pointed to Chen Yunchui, the second in command of the Beiliang infantry Army, beside him: “Old Chen, we Deputy Commander Chen, you must all recognize it. I remember that 16 years ago, this guy accompanied me to the Qingliangshan Palace to drink. At that time, Chen Yunchui was only a third-rank general. The general joked that you, Chen Yunchui, brought 40,000 to 50,000 infantry in Youzhou, wasting talents. It would be better to go outside Liangzhou Pass and give you 30,000 cavalry. Do you do it?”
