Chapter 953: Hanging a plaque in the north city to celebrate the achievements, the Dragon and Elephant Army severely injured the Mangqi
However, this southern expedition was indeed a bit unfavorable. Xijing only heard good news not long ago, saying that the eldest grandson of the Chuang family who was promoted to Xia Nabo with his military achievements successfully convinced the bald donkeys in Lantuo Mountain to surrender to Beimang, but when the army had just stepped onto the Liuzhou border where birds could not shit, bad news came immediately. First, a group of Beiliang Light Cavalry, who emerged from the border of Liuzhou, drove straight into the army, bypassed a series of heavily guarded military towns such as Junzi Pavilion and Wazhu, and headed straight to Xijing, shocking the court and the country. Then the ten thousand elite cavalry of the Cultivation Tantan tribe were blocked by people at the Miyun Mountain Pass, and the life and death of Cultivation Tantan tribe is still unknown. The general, who was in the second line of the middle lane, quickly made a confession to the King of Beiting. His Majesty the Emperor was not polite to the Zhong family at all. He directly issued a transfer order to send the middle lane, allowing Zhong’s younger brother, the uncle of Xia Nabo, to lead eight thousand cavalry out of the garrison and rush to Gusai Prefecture to intercept the Beiliang cavalry that was deeply in the hinterland, and nominally, he was dispatched by the commander Huang Songpu. The situation obviously means that the great situation in Liuzhou is decayed because of your family and descendants, so you can use the lives of eight thousand families to pay off your debts. If you stop it, you will not blame it; if you can’t stop it, then continue to use the caste to fill it out. If you still can’t stand the ability to survive, it will be your turn to use magical powers to personally take action. There is no need to get involved in the war outside Liangzhou Pass, and go to Gusai Prefecture to clean up the mess.
Hong Jingyan died inexplicably after Longyan’er Plain. Tens of thousands of Rouran Iron Cavalry had no heads, and in an instant they were divided up by the major forces on the front line.
The Northern Grasslands, which were each damaged in the first Liangmang Battle, have almost made a small plan: after the generals’ magical powers fall, they can get many veterans from all kinds of families. On the grassland, when learning from those Southern Dynasty literati who like wind, snow and moon, everyone felt awkward all over, and they could sit and share the spoils, and everyone was familiar with it.
The Beimang Western Front Army advanced southward step at a regular pace, and the speed was not fast. Ten days ago, this army was suddenly blocked by the ten thousand Northern Liang Long Elephant Cavalry. Within half an hour, the six thousand vanguard cavalry under Huang Songpu threw their bodies to the battlefield. From close contact to the end of the war to Ma Hu’s collection of corpses, many Longguan powerful people who were determined to be in Liangzhou felt that they had not recovered.
In fact, it cannot be said that there is no sign. After the army passed through Gusai Prefecture in the Southern Dynasty and entered the border Liuzhou territory, his Malanzi fought head-on with the Beiliang scout, and soon the Beimang generals who learned the truth jumped and cursed. What’s so great that it was the white horse crossbowman outside Liangzhou Pass who came here to play wildly! Although the camp has already been pulled south away from the temple, whether it is the commander Huang Songpu, the Long-related general who holds the elite cavalry of the Southern Dynasty, he has to pay attention to the movements in his backyard, so as not to see the crossbowman in the northern Liang area of Hutou City. It is the emperor’s personal order in the court of Xijing. As a result, Fatty Dong’s crow railing was dead, General Liu Gui’s black fox railing was also clean, and it is even said that even Dong Zhuo’s brother-in-law was also dead.He threw his life on the Longyan Plain. In the end, the young captain named Li, who was named Li, became famous overnight. Now he is even more swaying in the northern part of Liuzhou to show off his power!
Huang Songpu is a famous man on the battlefield who is old, so when Malanzi’s casualties were constantly transmitted to the general’s tent, he began to shrink his front line and slowed down the speed of his advancement south. It was obvious that he did not seek merit but did not seek any mistakes. The backbone of this army is Huang Songpu, the king of the Old South Court, and the Longguan Hao family who were used to being lawless in the Northern Mang and Southern Dynasties. It is very simple to say that the main force of the army is the direct descendant of the two surnames A and B of the major names of Longguan. Although Huang Songpu was still the title of one of the 13 Generals of the Northern Mang, the hat of the King of the South Court had long been taken off, and he was also an old man who had retired, he could barely be called Huang Songpu’s direct troops, with only more than 30,000 cavalry, which was worse than Liu Gui, who was now exiled to the battlefield in Youzhou.
To be honest, in the first Liangmang battle, Fatty Dong personally took over the overall situation and the midline of the battle was a foregone conclusion. Even Hutou City was defeated. The body of the general Liu Jinu of Beiliang was sent back to the Southern Dynasty with a coffin. The situation was very good. The Liuzhou battlefield where Liu Gui was stationed was at least balanced. Although the battle was not small, even Wang Lingbao, the deputy general of the Dragon Elephant Army, had been killed in battle. It’s a pity that Youzhou was too dragged on. Perhaps Yang Yuanzan was really too old and fell to the point of annihilation of the entire army. He made dumplings in the mouth of the gourd, and finally ran away a Rouran Iron Cavalry, which led to the loss of Beimang. So in my heart, the wealthy families of all sizes of Longguan did not think that the Northern Liang border army was really scary, especially the Liuzhou soldiers and horses who were naturally shorter than the Liangzhou cavalry and Youzhou infantry. In addition to the Dragon Elephant Army, which was injured in the first battle, there were also top-notch elite soldiers who could show off. No matter how wide the eyes were, they were gone. So almost everyone of these guys held their anger, especially the lingering Liangzhou crossbowman, which became more and more annoying.
At dawn, an old man who had not stayed all night long, accompanied by several strong entourage entourages, slowly walked out of the heavily guarded cowhide camp and came to a small slope to climb up and look south. Among the people who were accompanying him, a middle-aged man dressed like a Confucian scholar in the Central Plains was particularly eye-catching. He was not at all restrained when facing the old man who was still powerful. The old man is tall, with white hair and beard, wearing armor and swords, and has no decay and old appearance. Generally speaking, they are one generation apart, and their aura is quite impressive. The old man was Huang Songpu, one of the few generals in the Southern Dynasty, while the man who looked like a Confucian scholar was a rare reputation among the Beimang Army. This person is a first-class hero in the Beimang River and Lake. He has never heard of having a history of leading troops to fight. This time, he should have led eight thousand elite cavalry straight to Gusai Prefecture to put out the fire. For some reason, he took a detour alone and allowed eight thousand elites to penetrate directly into the abdomen of the Southern Dynasty. This time, the dispatch of troops involved the rise and fall of the family, and it seems too ridiculous to be too ridiculous.
Zhongliang happened to see the demise of the six thousand Northern Mang vanguard cavalry, and then made up his mind not to move, and stayed with the army south for so many days. During this period,This Beimang martial arts master who can almost be described as “the only fruit is left” also took action twice with great leisure, killing forty or fifty cavalry crossbowmen who had already left the battlefield. The horse lance trained by Huang Songpu was not very famous in the border troops of the Southern Dynasty, but it was still much inferior to the crow lance of his younger generation Dong Zhuo or the black fox lance of his peer Liu Gui. This does not mean that Huang Songpu lost to those two people in military administration. Since the old man was able to control the military and political affairs of Xijing for so many years and could divide the north and south with the King of the North Court Xu Huainan, he would naturally not be an ordinary person. However, Huang Songpu’s identity as the king of the South Court in the past twenty years was far more important than that of the general, and his mind had to lean towards the temple. Since he became the head of the Southern Dynasty, he naturally had to seek benefits for the entire Xijing and gain status for the Longguan surname and the two groups of colleagues and subordinates in the official battlefield. Over time, it would be difficult to go to the border army to do it personally. Therefore, this time he led the army south, Huang Songpu couldn’t help but feel mixed feelings. After a long period of dispersing the battle formation, even if the military strategy has not been settled, many details really cannot function as well as they were back then.
If it were me more than ten years ago, the six thousand vanguard cavalry would never dare to break ahead and collide with the ten thousand Dragon and Elephant Army without authorization. But this is not a place that really makes the old man feel tired, but some even less-known inside stories. On the surface, the children of Longguan were rebellious and unruly, and they were greedy for merit and even failed to get out. In fact, Huang Songpu’s original intention was to let the vanguard cavalry, whose combat power was unsatisfactory, as bait, lure the Liuzhou cavalry into the mud. The old man had already prepared 10,000 personal elite cavalry to prepare for the moment. He could reinforce the battlefield at a critical moment when the war was a little stalemate, and finally he was determined and ate the ten thousand dragon and elephant army in one bite. Even if there are 20,000 soldiers and horses to exchange for 10,000 dragon and elephant cavalry, Huang Songpu will win, both of which are the case with a silence and a real situation.
But compared to those heart-wrenching field main duel cavalry battles, Huang Songpu found that he was unable to meet his strength in this small-scale contact battle that could only be called fleeting. The first is to overestimate the combat power of the Long-Relations Pioneer Cavalry and underestimate the power of the Dragon Elephant Army to the rushing force, so that when ten thousand personal troops were put into the battlefield, they changed from the original mantis stalking cicadas to pure rescue. What’s even more fatal is that in the prediction of the next battle situation, Huang Songpu believed that the chief general of the Liuzhou cavalry who launched this raid also had the idea of luring the enemy into depth. Therefore, after hesitating, Huang Songpu, who had been steadfast in the army, asked ten thousand elite soldiers to pursue the decisive pursuit, but ordered the cavalry to not escape from the main force for fifty miles, which means that the size of the military achievements is only within a distance of fifty miles. In the end, the cavalry general brought the old man a laughing truth: after chasing for 50 miles, the horse was stopped, and there were more than 3,000 enemy cavalry left. Except for dozens of white horse crossbowmen who were cruising on the battlefield, this Dragon Elephant Army that had eaten the courage of the bear heart and leopard, had no reinforcements at all!
How could there be such a war?
The general of the Beiliang border who had dealt with Huang Songpu, Liu Jinu, Hutou City, was also the former general of Huaihua ZhongWhether it’s Hongwu, how about Zhonghu, or something, it’s not so crazy!
Huang Songpu was worried, looked into the distance, frowned without saying a word.
The big devil in Beimang, wearing a shirt, glanced at the look of the old general and smiled, “General Huang, as long as he put aside the vast Western Regions where the two military towns of Linyao and Fengxiang are located, Liuzhou is actually such a big place. No matter how strange the military use of Beiliang is, it is also a dojo in a snail shell, and it cannot cause great storms. Even if the battle of Miyun Mountain Pass adds 20,000 monks in Lantuo Mountain to Beiliang, it is still just a drop in the bucket.”
Huang Songpu shook his head and said, “There are several elite Xu family border troops in Qingcang City in Liuzhou, and the Youzhou Light Cavalry with Yuluan Sword helps to tear the front line, so whether it is strategic depth or military strength comparison, it is not as disadvantageous as we imagined. Besides…”
Zhong Liang took over the conversation and smiled even stronger: “What, the old general is also worried that the two birds of Western Chu will win Xiqiu and Jianghuai. Both of them are really giving advice to Beiliang on the battlefield of Liuzhou.”
The old man said frankly: “I believe that no military general in the world can underestimate these two people to join forces.”
Fengshi’s demeanor is like a painting, and the immortal who climbed up the mountain forest smiled: “As long as the troops in Liuzhou have never gathered together, I believe they will not be the opponent of the old general. Compared with the first battle, the 30,000 Dragon Elephant Army has not decreased in number, and the elite cavalry drawn from the left and right cavalry of Liangzhou, but its combat power is still a little worse. As for the young and strong Liuzhou under the command of Kou Jianghuai, it is even more difficult to fight such a tough battle. Xie Xiqiu’s remaining soldiers are not worth mentioning, otherwise Qingliangshan and the Protectorate would not hand him over 20,000 Lantu Mountain monks. With all the plans, Liuzhou’s local troops are only 70,000, but the veteran general has a total of 150,000, and he can obtain reinforcements from the Southern Dynasties at any time. As long as it is not a battle, it will collapse…”
