Chapter 282: Snow Riding Down Jiangnan (5)
At the Hezhou border, war is about to break out.
As if there was a muffled thunder coming from the land in Youzhou, Cai Nan, the governor of Lianghuai, was wearing iron armor and holding an iron spear. The border general was full of sadness. The tens of thousands of elite elites in the northwest under his command did not fight with the Beimang barbarians to the end, but died in civil strife?
The infantrymen of the Lianghuai army were in the middle and resisted the horses. The two wings of the cavalry echoed, and the very mean formation was arranged. It was not that Cai Nan did not want to use cavalry to fight the Northern Liang cavalry to a dignified death battle. It was really a rebellious person like him. Even if the troops were superior, he still had no confidence to play tricks with the army. Cai Nan did not expect that his Lianghuai could stop the young vassal king, and could only hope to leave as many Xu family cavalry as possible, two thousand or three thousand? As for the court's ability to block the number of passes bordering Jizhou and the Central Plains in the future with natural danger and place, it was really Cai Nan's "aftermath". It was not only the aftermath of the territory, but also the aftermath of Cai Nan's death after his country died.
Cai Nan looked up and saw that the terrain was flat and the ups and downs were not visible. He thought of a very unscene word for no reason, and his body was not cold. Thinking that his body would soon become cold, right?
The northwest is snowy and heavy, and there are strong men in the cold and cold land. In Jizhou, Lianghuai Road, there was Yang Shenxing's Ji Nan infantry, known as the only one in the world. Cai Nan, who was promoted to the Jiedushi, was soon regarded as the first-class combat force of the Liyang court after Lianghuai court. After Tang Tiexhuang, there were several local officials who were old generals of Gu, who recently entered Beijing to serve important positions. Cai Nan not only did not have much luck, but instead smelled a few dangerous smells. In the final analysis, those were the unscrupulous transactions of the kings who exchanged Huang Zi's official uniforms for local military power. The reason why they were gentle and affectionate was not because their common benefactor Gu Jiantang still stood on the border? And the power of hundreds of thousands of border troops held by the general?
Cai Nan exhaled heavily, and sent Han Lin out of the battlefield, who regarded the young emperor as his confidant, and then led his army to die here heroically. Is it a reasonable explanation to the general, the court and the emperor? Is this considered the so-called loyalty and righteousness in history books?
Living in a peaceful and peaceful world for a long time, Cai Nan became a rank-in-law official who enjoyed happiness for many years. It was not until this moment that Cai Nan discovered that the young man who followed the general and was determined to die was actually a little afraid of death, especially in the unknown death.
The neat horse hooves of the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry were like beating a drum, hitting Cai Nan's heart hard, making it difficult for the Jiedushi to take a breath.
Without having to keep a distance, Cai Nan could see that the cavalry was on the edge of the best charge distance, and stopped moving forward. One cavalry took the lead in the formation, and then it was about a hundred cavalry entourage following the horse.
Cai Nan was confused and became more and more nervous. The confrontation between the two armies on the battlefield was not a joke in Romance novels. What kind of generals of both sides went out alone and fought for hundreds of rounds in a heart-warming manner is all a trick. But there were indeed more than a hundred cavalry in front of him who left the Beiliang army alone. Could it be that Xu, the surname of Xu, wanted to take the general's head with the strength of his own land gods? Cai Nan was a little angry when he thought of this, and he really thought that his bed crossbow formation was his own.
Is it a decoration? In order to target Xu Fengnian, a chaotic formation of ten thousand enemies on the battlefield, Cai Nan specially sent people to plunder the land of the entire Lianghuai Road with the military talisman, and almost all the bed crossbows outside the northern defense line were either requisitioned or seconded. More than fifty bed crossbows were set up, and the Lianghuai Road's family was placed openly behind Cai Nan. Not only did it deal with the single-handed formation of a cavalry, but it also had a great deterrence to the collective charge of the iron cavalry.
The horseman took the lead, and the horse's hooves kept stopping until Cai Nan was three hundred steps away from the formation. Not only the main general Cai Nan, who had the cultivation level of a young master, but also the strong guards and two infantry generals around him could vaguely see the majestic appearance of the horseman.
It is Xu Fengnian, the famous King of Northern Liang!
This young vassal king with the surname Tu was killed by no less than ten top masters in the world, and killed 300,000 Beimang's army. His hands were bloody, and he killed all the way to this day and here.
Even if he is in a hostile camp, he still has some admiration and awe in the face of this person. Among the sons of the older generation of two-character vassal kings in Liyang, this young man is far ahead. Jing'an morality Zhao Xun also inherited the title of king of his father, but he lowered his eyebrows and looked like a guard dog of the emperor's family. Zhao Zhu, who was originally known as the number one prince of Liyang, was criticized in Guangling Road. Zhao Yi, the eldest son of Jiaodong King Zhao Sui, was not eye-catching in the war between the two Liaos. As for the prince of Guangling, Zhao Piao and others, they don't have to take it out and show their eyes. Cai Nan waved his hand casually.
The elite scout Ye Bushou, who was sweating profusely, quickly retreated. Cai Nan stared at the young man between the two armies. There were hundreds of cavalry behind him, not wearing armor or swords, and one person carried only one sword. It must be the Wu Family Swords that were very popular in the Central Plains River and Lake last year. As a leading general who guarded the imperial court, Cai Nan has always been very interested in the affairs of the martial arts world. His abilities are all the killing ability that has been honed in the blood of the battle formation. In his early years, he had private competitions with a martial arts celebrity of the same level in his jurisdiction. After winning easily, Cai Nan felt that he had only one word, soft.
However, the hundred cavalry in front of him made Cai Nan dare not underestimate them at all. As for the young vassal king in the head, Cai Nan naturally did not dare to take it lightly. If Xu Fengnian had not stopped at all, Cai Nan would not even care about his demeanor and would have ordered the crossbow to shoot on the spot without saying a word. The wild beasts in the world were afraid of military crossbows, and martial arts masters were afraid of bed crossbows. They were all bloody lessons for countless people to exchange their lives, especially the heavy crossbows, which had the reputation of "flying swords within fifty-years-old". Cai Nan believed that he would not dare to face several crossbows with arrows as huge as guns. If not, Beimang would not have greeted the King of Beiliang with the crossbow outside Hutou City last year.
The Wu family has hundreds of cavalry and hundreds of swords, and the horse is stopped solemnly.
This is the first time they returned to the Central Plains after leaving the Wu family's sword tomb and entering Beiliang. The devil surnamed Zhu behind Jianguan Wu Liuding and Jian Shi Cuihua even closed her eyes and sniffed hard. Her face was full of intoxication, and she said, "I smelled the bloody smell and horse manure outside Liangzhou Pass, but the air here is more comfortable. I just don't know if I can smell the aroma of wine and powder when I really arrived in the south of the Central Plains."
With only two horses from the Wu family swordsman named Zhu Huang, Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "According to the previous agreement, this time, as long as you follow me all the way south and reach a place where you can see the walls of the Western Chu capital, you can restore your freedom. After that, no matter whether you go to the east and west to make a comeback or find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to hide your name, I don't care, nor the Wu family will."
Zhu Da Demon, who was extremely bloodthirsty in the Wu family's sword tomb, smiled strangely: "Prince, this is effective for others, I can't be kind to Lao Zhu. Back then, I just killed a few more guys named Wu in that ghost place. Wu was not capable, so he worked with others to knock sixty dragon-bound nails on me. His methods were not very clever, but unfortunately his technique was quite unique. If he was not a direct descendant of the Wu family, he could not pull out those things. Lao Zhu had always been a temper that would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. He entered that first time.
Originally, if you don’t get a master of martial arts, Dangdang, and you won’t fight with Deng Tai’a, you’re sorry for being guilty of more than 40 years in the Wu family. So, you have to bother the prince with the old Wu family with these nails. As long as the prince is willing to speak out, although Lao Zhu never knows what the morality of the martial arts world is, he is not the kind of ungrateful person. Even if the prince wants me to kill someone in Tai'an City, Lao Zhu can still agree to it with his chest, Prince, how about this deal?”
Zhu Huang, who was strong in yin energy, was once the illegitimate son of the Wu family. He was thrown to Jianshan to fend for himself. However, in the battle that year, Deng Tai'a, who won, entered the world and became the Peach Blossom Sword God. Zhu Huang, who lost, was too murderous, and especially killed a side room of the Wu family. He was furious and imprisoned by the ancestors of the Wu family with no secret technique. If it weren't for the hundred swords going to the cold, Zhu Huang, whose cultivation was so powerful, was destined to never let the world know that there was still in the world.
Such a sword immortal figure. As for leading the Wu family's hundred swords to Guangling Road this time, not only Xu Weixiong, but also Chu Lushan had objections, because Xu Fengnian promised their freedom, which was not a negligible loss for Beiliang. On the battlefield where the battle situation was stalemate, the Wu family's 100 people and 100 swords, once they were put into the battlefield, they would definitely become the key winner to reverse the outcome. They could not kill Tuoba Bodhisattva, but they were as strong as Hong Jingyan and Murong Baoding, and they would probably be frightened.
Before Xu Fengnian could speak, Wu Liuding, who regarded Zhu Huang as an enemy, turned his head and said angrily: "If you have the surname Zhu, you can pull out sixty nails, and I can help you stuff sixty more!"
Zhu Huang sarcastically said, "Just rely on you? The girls around you are all tougher than you. Haha, your Wu family is really interesting. These two generations have brought their hands, so it's better not to bring them."
The sword servant Cuihua's fingers moved slightly.
The short old man carrying an extremely long and thin ancient sword frowned and said, "Zhu Huang, don't be too arrogant."
The old man was in the Wu family's sword tomb, which had countless secrets to bury swords. He also had a unique status because he was a sword fool. Wu Liuding helped to win the humorous nickname of "marrying the sword grandfather" when he was a child. Unlike Zhu Huang, who had never left the Wu family, or Zhang Luantai, Gongsun Xiushui and Nalan Huaiyu, who had expectations for returning to the world, the 80-year-old man was only obsessed with swordsmanship in his life, but was limited by his own roots and bones cultivation. He had a unique understanding of swordsmanship and swordsmanship knowledge, and he could never pick up the sword himself. When the old man entered Beiliang, he talked twice about the tricks and intentions of the young vassal kings about swordsmanship. If he met his confidant, he had the idea of falling into Beiliang. As for the family, country and world that all literati and martial artists valued, the old man was always very indifferent.
Xu Fengnian did not turn around and whispered: "Everything has arrived at the capital of Xichu. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be one or two battles to fight, and we will fight our Beiliang Daxue Dragon Cavalry to not die. Of course, you should not die. The great world is waiting for all the seniors to become famous."
Wu Liuding said angrily: "Leave some seeds for the world, right? I'm so surprised. This kind of thing that makes people swollen and fat is like a fool no matter how you look at it. Why do you seem particularly heroic when you do it?"
Xu Fengnian turned his head and glanced at the young Jianguan who was facing him from beginning to end, and was not stingy.
However, Hong Shuwen, the old subordinate of Fengziying, who followed the King of Beiliang, sneered: "Our prince is handsome than you and has a few floors higher than you. Are you not convinced?"
Wu Liuding smiled and said with a sarcastic smile: "What's wrong with not accepting?"
Hong Shuwen said with a natural expression: "Don't accept it? Then are you fighting with our prince?"
Xu Fengnian ignored the two of them and shouted loudly to the army of Lianghuai Road: "Cai Nan, let's talk in front of the formation?"
Cai Nan did not hesitate much after hearing the sound, and rode alone out of the line. The infantry general wanted to stop him, so he naturally did not want his general to take risks. After all, the young vassal king not far away was one of the four real martial arts judges, but the Jieduan said lightly, "Xu Fengnian wants to kill people, so he will not be so despicable."
The two riders stepped forward for more than a hundred steps and stopped looking at each other. Cai Nan took a deep breath, looked at Xu Fengnian in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "If the prince wants me to retreat, there is no need to waste his words!"
Cai Nan, who was carrying an iron spear diagonally, saw that the young vassal king seemed to be blocked by him and had nothing to say. His eyes just passed by him and looked at the border troops of the two Huaihe Rivers. Cai Nan was silent for a moment and continued, "No matter how much Xu Fengnian is the martial arts master with a higher cultivation level than General Gu, but you are not your father after all, nor the general Xu Xiao, and it is still not worthy of my Cai Nan's dismounting and avoiding!"
Xu Fengnian withdrew his gaze and asked, "If I remember correctly, I have asked the spy in Fushuifang to send a message to General Cai. Today, the general can block the road, but try to place the elite on both wings and let our cavalry rush by. We will die fewer people, and you will die fewer people. Isn't this good?"
Cai Nan said coldly: "I pretended that I had not received the news. As a general in charge of border military affairs..."
Xu Fengnian suddenly interrupted Cai Nan's words, "General, you haven't received the imperial edict from the court?"
Cai Nan's face was cold.
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "General Cai thinks that the Beiliang cavalry military suddenly happened and Tai'an City caught him off guard? The general really thought that the spy Zhao Gou who was planted in Hezhou was so unbearable? Even if the Beiliang cavalry advances slowly, the imperial edict is destined not to be sent to Hezhou on time. It will always be neither faster nor slower than this war, just one step later."
Cai Nan said with a blank expression: "So what? The court has its own opinions on doing things. Cai Nan only needs to be worthy of the Liyang armor on my body!"
Xu Fengnian pulled the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, I took the initiative to reminisce about you, Cai Nan, and didn't expect your army to give way. The reason I gave you a message was that the general gave a certain old guy a face back then, and the reason I talked to you today is that there was an old man who was a high-ranking official in Tai'an City and said something to me in my heart."
Xu Fengnian turned his horse's head and left slowly. His words, both not only light but also heavy, came to Cai Nan's ears, "Since he is unwilling to act, the two Huai border troops are determined to be loyal to the country, so Beiliang will fulfill your wish. On the battlefield, if you fight against my Beiliang Iron Cavalry, what's the difficulty of dying?"
Cai Nan returned to his own formation with a pale face.
Xiangfu is the spring of the third year.
The heavy snow dragon cavalry rushed past like a tide, and the elite troops of the two Huai River, with nearly 40,000 troops, were defeated.
