Chapter 957 Xie Xiqiu defeated Mang’s troops, and Chu Lushan decided to guard the pass
After the Liuzhou border army returned to its garrison, the atmosphere was solemn in the camps and tents everywhere.
Two expelled 800 miles of expeditions to reach Qingcang City, Liuzhou from Huaiyang Pass Protectorate and the vassal residence of General Jubeicheng.
Kou Jianghuai came to the garrison of the Three Thousand Cavalry of Liuzhou with two letters stamped with the “Protector of Northern Liang” and “King of Northern Liang”. On the martial arts field of the school, Kou Jianghuai strode to the high platform and said loudly: “The commander of the Liuzhou Cavalry Army Qifu Longguan, get out of the line!”
The young general left the line and stood still, his face calm.
It’s like on the battlefield, looking at death as if you’re home.
Kou Jianghuai spread out a letter of military writing expressionlessly, and slowly recited: “The Liuzhou Captain Qi Fu Longguan, who was greedy for merit and made progress, causing the five thousand cavalry in Liuzhou to be killed in battle, and he was killed immediately! The Northern Liang governor, Chu Lushan!”
Everyone in the three thousand cavalrymen of Liuzhou showed unbearable faces and were full of grief and anger.
Kou Jianghuai remained motionless, his eyes were cold, and he looked down at the entire school martial arts field.
The young general who was sentenced to be executed was relieved, with red eyes, lowered his head and fist and said, “Qifu Longguan, accept the order!”
Kou Jianghuai pulled the corner of his mouth and suddenly asked, “Beiliang Protector, in our Beiliang, the official position is bigger than the commander of the cavalry and the commander of the infantry. The two deputy governors of Beiliang Road are far inferior to each other, right?”
All the vagrant cavalrymen on the school martial arts field were confused, especially Qifu Longguan.
Kou Jianghuai took a step forward and began to read the second letter from the military text from Jubeicheng: “Since the early days of the establishment of our Xu family cavalry, even if the camp is not enough, not enough knife or horse, it is still an iron cavalry! There are six old camps of Liangzhou cavalry, and there were new cavalry camps in Youzhou last year.”
After reading this, Kou Jianghuai paused a little: “Now there are also iron cavalry camps in Liuzhou! Allowing the battlefield to erect the camp flags to fight!”
Kou Jianghuai held the military text tightly, took another step forward, and breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice: “Liuzhou cavalry established a new battalion, and rushed to the camp! Qifu Longguan, and was demoted from Liuzhou cavalry commander to Zhichi battalion commander! As the sergeant commander, he commanded this camp! King of Beiliang, Xu Fengnian!”
Kou Jianghuai looked at the young general and shouted angrily: “Qifu Longguan! Obtain the order!”
Qifu Longguan straightened his back, trembling slightly, and shouted with all his might: “Qifu Longguan! I dare not accept the order!”
The military rules of the Northern Liang army, as long as the Northern Liang cavalry is wearing armor, even if they meet a general, they never have to kneel down!
Kou Jianghuai put away two letters of military letters and for no reason he remembered the unintentional words of the young general in the war.
The Liuzhou general gritted his teeth and said, “Liuzhou Iron Cavalry! I wish the dead will die with me!”
When Liuzhu Bodhisattva separated from Xie Xiqian, he once asked the deputy general of Liuzhou a heart-killing question: “You are not afraid of you.”The two of us guarded the towns of Linyao and Fengxiang, but because 20,000 monks did not rush to Liuzhou to help the battlefield in time, Qingcang City fell.”
At that time, Xie Xiqian’s answer was very interesting: It would be impossible to have the enemy Jianghuai.
The Northern Liang border army has always had the habit of xenophobia. Gu Dazu, deputy commander of the infantry, had already won a high reputation in the Spring and Autumn War, but outside Liangzhou Pass, he never reached the level he should have. There was obviously a support from young vassal kings, and he could not change that embarrassing situation. Jinquqiao Zhou Kang once broke up with him in Chongzhongjun Town. For example, if Chen Yunchui had something to discuss with the cavalry on the left and right of Liangzhou, he might need to be a seconded person. Maybe there is no need to come in person, just a letter, even if the heavens are angry and people are resentful, they will probably endure it. From Yuan Zuozong to He Zhonghu and Zhou Kang, everyone will probably endure it, and at most they will laugh and scold a few times when they meet and discuss matters. But it was Gu Dazu’s turn, even if this veteran Spring and Autumn Period who could hold a firm place in the history of military strategists, he was even known as the founder of the world’s situation, and would never receive such treatment in the Northern Liang border army.
Not only Gu Dazu, but the younger generation Yu Luan Dao had a bad situation at first, so he could only go from Liuzhou to Youzhou to serve as a cavalry general, rather than climbing directly on the Liangzhou side. You should know that before the Youqi captured the series of battles outside Hulukou, the Youzhou cavalry was always ridiculed by the Liangzhou side cavalry, who was above the top, as the embroidered cavalry, and privately joked about the daughter of the old general Yan Wenluan. Embroidered embroidery is okay, but it is absolutely impossible to fight.
Then, General Liuzhou, who was neighbor of the Longxiang Army, betrayed Jianghuai. After the first Liangmang battle, the Longxiang Army wanted to replenish the military source. Whether it was He Zhonghu or Zhou Kang, even if it was Cao Wei, a young cavalryman who had a history of boundless borders, wanted soldiers and generals. Although the cavalrymen in Liangzhou had complaints, they all followed the wishes of the young vassal kings. Only Kou Jianghuai, who was the general of Yizhou, knew it well. Although he knew the entire Beiliang officialdom, this person was on Guangling Road. A genius who had great military achievements in the past had no military law. In the end, his direct military commanders were only young and strong. Moreover, it is said that after Jianghuai finally gathered a cavalry of 10,000 people, they were not willing to deliver the best war horses to them, but because of the stern military order from Qingliangshan, the young vassal kings did not act as perfunctory.
This is true for the gang Jianghuai. In fact, Xie Xiqian, who is also one of the two kings of the Great Chu, was not much better. Before he was temporarily promoted to Liuzhou’s deputy general who was promoted to the third-rank official position, he cooperated with the elite cavalry of Caowei’s troops to rush to Miyun Mountain Pass. At that time, his cavalry was of mixed origin, mostly from the cavalry of Fengxiang and Linyao, who were born into a horse thief in the Western Regions, and the two or three thousand cavalry recruited by Chai Dongdi and Liu Wenbao. Such chaotic soldiers and horses may even look down on the Youzhou cavalry, which was looked down upon by Liangzhou’s border cavalry.
Whether this deep-rooted habit can change is related to the personal prestige of the new Liang king, but the relationship is definitely not changed day and night.
Moreover, the young vassal king seemed to have almost himself in this regard.Negative confidence.
In fact, neither Yu Luandao, who had been promoted to the second deputy commander of the Left Cavalry by He Zhonghu, nor the less veritable general of Liuzhou, the Beiliang had never disappointed.
This is especially true for Xie Xiqian, who has helped Cao Wei take over Miyun Pass.
Before Xie Xiqian led troops to settle in, Fengxiang Army Town had two thousand soldiers guarding the city, half of the refugees and half of the Youzhou infantry. Compared with the low walls of Qingcang City, the Dafeng Dynasty obviously attached more importance to Fengxiang Army Town, which could reinforce the Western Regions Protectorate’s Mansion as soon as possible. The city wall was determined to be the same size as the county town of the Central Plains. Compared with the two ancient towns of Qingcang Linyao, the Dafeng Dynasty finally ended up with the Dafeng dynasty. Fengxiang, who was the same county magistrate and the chiefs of the other two towns, had more than 200 officials who were able to wear the Dafeng seal, far exceeding the 120 people in Linyao. Once the Western Regions Protectorate further west cannot control the more than 40 countries in their jurisdiction, every time the defeated and fled Western Regions nobles must pass through Fengxiang Army Town, and then choose to enter the Central Plains from the old Northern Liang, or turn to the southeast and go to Shuzhao to take refuge.
So the history of Fengxiang Military Town is like its city wall, which is heavier than Qingcang Linyao.
If there were no 10,000 monk soldiers from Xie Xiqin as the backbone, Fengxiang Army Town faced the siege of 10,000 Bubas in the Southern Dynasty and the three thousand cavalry outside the city to take the opportunity, perhaps at most, it would be to try to knock down more bodies of the Beimang barbarians under the city and at the top of the city. Fengxiang was destined to still be lost, and Beiliang could only give up this strategic point covering half of the Western Regions. Perhaps Liuzhou was defeated by the Huang Song-Pu army’s western front army, and the gains and losses of Fengxiang and Lin Yao were of little significance, but as long as the two sides were evenly in a stalemate, it was very likely that the situation of the war would change. On the one hand, we need to provide a large rear for the two cavalry troops of Yu Luandao and Cao Wei, and on the other hand, we can use this as Gusai Prefecture to gather troops and vigorously reinforce Huang Songpu. Especially if the Liuzhou cavalry won by chance and still had the strength to break through the border defense line of the Southern Dynasty and conquer Gusai Prefecture in the north, then the loss of the two towns in Beiliang can be said to be a fatal mistake.
The 10,000 Buba’s ants attacked the city, which was fearless. However, because it was a surprise attack with certainty, it did not carry a large amount of supplies, food and siege equipment that delayed the speed of advancement. Therefore, even the Buba’s siege, which was considered by Beimang to be not inferior to the Beiliang Youzhou infantry and Liyang Jinan infantry, was struggling very hard. Although the city’s downstairs, which had no geographical advantage in the process of shooting each other, still showed amazing accuracy. Many young and strong refugees who were truly involved in the war for the first time, even if they were reminded in advance not to show their heads and wait and see in the gap between the two rounds of arrows, many of the bodies could only be dragged off the road. On the premise that Xie Xiqin did not use the monk soldiers of Lantuo Mountain to the greatest extent, a group of death-killing soldiers holding shields and holding swords on their mouths attacked the city several times, and were then repelled by Youzhou infantry and refugees again and again.
From noon to dusk and dusk, Bubazhu paid nearly two thousand lives, most of whom died on the top of the city and was then thrown off the top of the city..
During this period, Xie Xiqin only allowed everyone’s strong and powerful monk soldiers to participate in the defense twice, twice.
Night battle is naturally not conducive to the siege, so Bubazhu gave up after trying it once.
I attacked the city many times but couldn’t break it. Just like the master of the martial arts world can break through the realm with only a line of distance, so I naturally wouldn’t give up.
The next day was destined to be a more tragic offensive and defensive battle.
