Royal Road

This is much faster than expected! Before setting off, Liang Feng did make some strategic deployments, especially setting up trench traps for cavalry raids before Taihang Pass. In addition, the Liangfu tribe placed in the Wuling Army should be able to resist the cavalry attacking the city. At the same time, Liang Mansion and Gaoducheng have also raised their guard levels. Anyone who commits the crime will have the strength to fight.

But who could have expected that the Xiongnu Jingqi would give up this hard bone so simply. He didn't even stay for half a day, so he went straight back. If the speed of seizing the city on my own side is a little slower, I am afraid that it will be directly encircled and suppressed.

"You quickly return to the mansion, tell the master book Duan, let him harvest the autumn grain as soon as possible. I have already captured Lucheng here, so there is no need to worry." Liang Feng told the messenger.

"Lord, don't you transfer troops from Liang Mansion?" Yi Yan only slept for two hours before getting up and guarding Liang Feng's side. Hearing the news, he naturally became nervous.

"It's too late. This is the news from the guard post, I am afraid that the enemy soldiers will arrive in Lucheng tomorrow." Liang Feng shook his head.

The guard post in the Liang Mansion was a method of communication that he formulated with reference to the idea of ​​the "message tree" during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Relying on the fall of the trees on the top of the mountain as a signal, a few consecutive outposts can send messages back forty to fifty miles away, and it is not easy to be detected by the enemy. However, no matter how easy it is to use, it can only be half a day in advance, which is really nothing to the cavalry.

When he traveled to Lucheng this time, he had brought a lot of elite soldiers. What's more, the cavalry of the Liang Palace was newly trained, and it was barely able to fight against ordinary cavalry, and it was too reluctant to deal with the Xiongnu fine cavalry.

Now I can only rely on myself.

After thinking for a moment, Liang Feng said: "Call for Sun Yue to come."

After yesterday's encounter, Sun Yue has completely complied. Lead troops to attack and kill the prefect, seize three passes in one day, and can also perform grace and power to regain county officials. Such a character is rare among the courts. How can he beat it? Since I was lucky enough to stay alive, I had to obediently listen to the order and make myself useful.

"Sun Yue, what kind of character is the Xiongnu cavalry who led the party this time? What is his temperament?" Liang Feng asked.

"It is a Qianqi commander under the command of the northern captain, whose name is Liu Meng. He is smiling all day long, but he acts simply and neatly. He is a ruthless character! He took the command of the Taishou Mansion in the first place." Sun Yueyiyi Say one, don't dare to neglect.

Able to fail in a single blow, and immediately turn around, showing that the opponent is decisive. Liang Feng asked again: "Did he leave the county seat when he heard me coming?"

"Exactly. As soon as Liang Hou arrived at the mansion, Liu Meng led his troops to Taihangxing. This, I am afraid that I want to plot against Taihang Pass..." Sun Yue replied cautiously.

Liu Xuan's meticulous mind is also an effective officer under Liu Xuan, and I am afraid that he has not little understanding of himself. What do you think about the sights of Taihang Pass and Gaodu City this time? Liang Feng looked at Yi Yan: "You said he came back, what is he going to do?"

Yi Yan meditated for a moment and replied: "I am afraid that we will strengthen the Huguan defense and wait for the Xiongnu to increase their troops."

Among the three hurdles captured, the Baixing hurdles were relatively small, as long as the original forces were sufficient to guard. But Huguan is different. As an important town, fifty people can barely guard the city gate. If you return to the army, of course you will go straight to the pot.

"More than that. I'm afraid this person will not let me go this hidden danger." Liang Feng's lips provoked a sneer.

This time, he completely exposed his strength. Anyone with a bit of strategic thinking will be wary of the Liang Mansion when they see the situation in Taihang Pass and Gaodu City. And this kind of vigilance, when placed on a meticulous and vicious person, will turn into a murderous intent. If it is not wrong, Liu Meng is likely to do something against him!

There was a murderous look in Yi Yan's eyes: "The subordinates will now lead soldiers to intercept this monk!"

"No. Please enter the urn."

Enter the urn, what urn? Listening to the chilling sound, Sun Yue lowered his head and shrank his shoulders, like a quail, not daring to make any noise.

※

The horse was non-stop, and the return journey took only two days. Seeing that Lucheng was in front of him, Liu Meng gave an order: "Guys follow me to the county town, and the others will fight through Huguan and hold on to the city!"

This trip to Gaodu really made him determined that Liang Zixi must get rid of it! Even if you want to turn your face with Yan Ji, you must resolve this scourge as soon as possible. Only in this way, when the army comes, can Sima Teng's return path be successfully cut off and the deployment of Xiangguo can be completed.

And now Liu Meng also has doubts in his mind. The surname Liang went to the county town, I'm afraid he didn't mean well. In that case, don't blame him for being ruthless.

The two teams parted ways, Liu Meng personally took a dozen people, hurriedly rushed towards the county city. After all, there are fifty fine knights guarding the county, and he won't waste more time planning or discussing this matter with Yan Ji. On the contrary, the thunder strike is the best choice. A few hours ago, he had already sent scouts to return to the prefectural palace first, and by then, he would be able to wipe out the Liang Mansion and his party with a single order.

However, this scout came back too slowly.

Although there was some dissatisfaction in his heart, Liu Meng did not stand still at all, and rushed into the city gate and headed towards the Taishou Mansion along the main road. He walked this road many times, but when he walked to the last row of houses in front of the Prefect's Mansion, the abrupt, several large cars parked on the side of the road caused the horse to slow down. This was a trivial matter, but a chill came to my heart. That kind of coldness like maggots attached to bones that can only be felt on the battlefield!

What's wrong! Others might only flash such thoughts, but Liu Meng was a battle-hardened fighter and immediately discovered the problem. There are too few people on the street! Now in the afternoon, even if you are afraid of the changes in the prefectural palace, there shouldn't be such a few people alone. Since there is no one, why are there cars parked on the side of the road?

Liu Meng pulled up the rein suddenly, and the horse neighed and raised his forefoot.

"Be careful!"

He only had time to say these two words.

Almost at the same time, among the houses on both sides of the road, arrow feathers shot out like locusts!

The road ahead was blocked, and he couldn't turn back for a while, standing in the middle of the road, almost like a target. Liu Meng shouted loudly and waved his knife to resist flying arrows, but how could a mortal body stop such an ambush? !

Why is there an ambush? Shouldn't the county be in their hands? Frightened and angry, Liu Meng's round face no longer smiled, his eyes widened like a mad tiger, he suddenly turned his horse's head and rushed towards the house on one side! Can't move forward, can't retreat, only break through the house, there will be a ray of life!

This action was not unbelievable, but before him, a short and thick iron arrow pierced through the layers of arrow rain, and pierced Liu Meng's neck with a "beep" sound. Blood splashed, his figure shook, and he planted his horse.

Without the leader, there is no final chance of escape. The dozen or so knights were shot like hedgehogs, and they planted their horses one after another. The blood covered the stone slabs of the street, like a red spring.

In the house next to him, Zhang He exhaled and put down the crossbow in his hand. This thing was found from the arsenal of the Taishou Mansion, it is not as easy to use as the hand crossbow in the mansion. However, this is not the time to capture the mansion for the first time, and it is better not to expose the contraband such as bows and crossbows.

Fortunately, there are not many Huns entering the city. If there are more, it is really impossible to stop them one by one. He can successfully complete the task here, only to see how the battle is going on the Yingzheng side.

※

Huguan is not far from Lucheng, and at this moment the Qingqi also came before the gate. Seeing that it was from my own family, the gate was wide open from a distance, and it seemed that he was welcoming this cavalry team. In other words, they have been rushing for a few days. When they think of being able to rest in the gate, many people feel relaxed.

Even at Xiongguan, the width of the Hukou city gate would not be very large. The leader of the school lieutenant slowed down and led his back to the city. However, more than two hundred people had just entered the lower half, and suddenly there was a shout in the city.

what happened? !

The soldiers behind immediately drew out their swords and wanted to rush in, but there was already a shout in front of them: "Retreat! Retreat! Get out of the city!"

Why should I withdraw? Even if there is an artificial rebel in the city, it should be rushed in and regain it! Wouldn't it be completely out of opportunity to quit? !

However, the person in the front had no time to explain, and turned around and rushed out. It is impossible not to withdraw. Just less than a hundred steps from the city gate, the floating soil on the ground disappeared, and a deep trench appeared in the middle of the road. This ditch is two feet wide and one foot deep. As long as you rush in, you will have to turn on your back, and you will not be able to jump over it. What is even more hateful is that a group of soldiers with shields and rockets stood behind the ditch.

People can barely cope with the Rockets, but Marco can't! Originally panicked because of the horse that stumbled in front of him, and was disturbed by the rocket, even the Huns cavalry who were skilled in riding and shooting could no longer control their mounts.

In such a situation, there is only a dead end to stay in the city, so naturally you have to withdraw!

But how easy is it to turn to retreat in the narrow gate hole? All of a sudden, the gate of the city turned into a pot of rotten porridge, horses neighed, and the voice of people was full of chaos!

However, there is not only one trap waiting for these people.

The drums rang. Soldiers in ambush rushed out. Most of these were soldiers guarding the city at Huguan, with only three or four hundred men. In peacetime, he would never dare to force the Xiongnu soldiers in field battles. But at this moment is not a normal day, the group of Huns themselves are in a mess, unable to form a riding formation at all, let alone galloping and shooting. Can a cavalry who has lost the power to charge still count as a cavalry?

"Rush! Rush up for me!" Linghu Kuang shouted, leading the team to rush up.

Conquering the city in one day brought him not only a city that changed hands, but also incomparable confidence and desire to fight! The soldiers behind him are also eager to clear themselves of the crime of being a thief. "Six Taoist Trainees" says: "There are kings and ministers who have lost power, who want to see the merits again, gather together as a soldier, and the name is called the warrior of the death."

This group of soldiers following Linghu Kuang is precisely the "dead fighters"!

There are soldiers who dare to work hard, and there are cleverly set traps, even if they are afraid of the Xiongnu elite? These hundreds of people rushed up fiercely!

Although packs of wolves can kill tigers, they are still tigers after all. Only for a moment of panic, the elite Huns who turned their horses' heads greeted them, unable to use bows and arrows, they also had scimitars and spears, and they could not be afraid of the enemy. They are also standing desperately, their combat power is much stronger than the soldiers in front of them!

It was like hitting a wave on a cliff, and the charge was blocked back. Those Huns cavalry rushed towards the crowd. Three to four hundred people could tear the camp in a few steps. As long as they rushed out, it would be no problem whether they flee or regroup!

However, such a breakthrough was extinguished in a flash. More than a dozen fast horses rushed into the Huns' formation! Spear stabbing, knife chopping, and arrow shooting, no less inferior to their elite soldiers joined the battle group! Those Huns found that there were more enemies with high noses, deep eyes and weird hair in front of them. There is also a fierce general with blue eyes, like a Yasha, rushing towards them!

This is definitely not the combat power that the Jin army should have! With just one touch, those Xiongnu cavalry who had just adjusted their formation and were about to break through were dispersed. Some people fell off their horses, and more people were surrounded by ant-like regiments and ripped off their horses.

It was like a violent wind blowing away the dark clouds, and the situation changed drastically!

Why are there Jie people in the Jin army? Why are these Jie people so strong? No one can answer these questions!

The sword slammed into one place, and Linghu tried hard to resist the Titans in front of him. However, a black shadow passed by, a splash of blood splashed onto his face. Linghu Kuang opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound. How can this Jie with the surname Yi be so strong? ! However, he hadn't reacted yet, and the other party had already spoken: "Lieutenant Linghu, he led his troops to plug the gap in the west, and the nets are about to be closed."

"Yes!" Linghu Kuang replied loudly as if the conditions were good enough. I completely forgot that the other party was just a family soldier, and he was a dignified captain!

This must be a big victory, a big victory to annihilate a powerful enemy! Excitedly rushing the horse, Linghu Kuang led his ministry and rushed in the other direction!

The author has something to say: The idiom "please enter the urn" also comes from the Tang Dynasty. Someone accused the cruel official Zhou Xing of intent to rebel, and the queen sent Junchen to trial. Lai Junchen hosted a banquet in honor of Zhou Xing and asked him how he could extract a confession. Zhou Xing said that it is enough to put people in a large urn heated by charcoal fire, and came to Junchen to say: "There is an inner state man, please come into this urn." Zhou Xing had to plead guilty with fear.

So Sun Yue didn't know this idiom.
