Chapter 294 Desire to Die
A few days later, when the defenders of Tianlang Pass saw silver appearing on the horizon, they knew that the elite cavalry force known as Beiliang Road had arrived.
The neat military formation is like a silver-white ribbon, extending to the invisible end.
Ten thousand fine cavalry slowly entered the city, with a solemn killing atmosphere, and a Daliang dragon flag continued to flutter in the wind.
With Shanziying as the team and soldiers from Liangzhou and Youzhou, the Daliang Dragonriders, formed from hundreds of battles, appeared in people's eyes for the first time.
In the past few months, the Daliang Dragon Riders have been training intensively in the hidden areas of Liangzhou to hone the cooperation between the soldiers.
The uniform silver armor of ten thousand people, the spears and Beiliang knives made by the unified Mohist family, all have a fierce face at the same time.
The city gate defenders were also extraordinary soldiers, but seeing the appearance of the Great Liang Dragon Riders, they already felt a tightness in their chests. This aura was too strong.
Two somewhat old figures stood on the top of the city, and they were clearly the two veteran Youzhou generals, Lang Yi and Shi Tiangong.
"Haha, the momentum is indeed extraordinary. Youzhou Cavalry really can't pull off an army like this for the time being." Lang Yi said with some envy: "If I can fight side by side with such an army in this life, I will have no regrets in this life.
"
"Old man Lang, is my grandson in there?" Shi Tiangong winked proudly.
Shi Hong had a conflict with Chen Yue in a restaurant. After scolding him, Chen Yue accidentally sent him to the Great Liang Dragon Riders, which became Shi Tiangong's proudest thing.
This time, Lang Yi rarely quarreled with Shi Tiangong. Instead, he placed his hands on the city wall and looked at the cavalry that continued to pour into the city with dismay.
After a long time, Shi Tiangong smiled heartily and said: "Stop watching it, wait until we come back to watch it again!"
"Haha, okay!" Lang Yi looked up to the sky and laughed: If I can come back, I will have a drink with these army brats!"
The two old men walked down the city wall side by side, their steps no longer staggering, but rather lively.
In Chenyue Mansion, two strong figures strode into the house, and a loud shout rang out.
"Qian Zimo, the leader of the Daliang Dragon Riders, pays homage to the general!"
"Xiao Shangwen, deputy general of Daliang Dragon Cavalry, pays homage to the general!"
"Haha, here you go, sit down, you've had a hard journey along the way." Chenyue smiled and waved his hand.
The two young men in front of me are both rising stars in the Liangzhou army.
Qian Zimo was born in Fengyang and was a fellow villager of Chenyue. He rose to prominence when he killed General Deng Jian'an under King Fu in the first battle of the Southern Campaign.
Xiao Shangwen even followed him closely for two years, and it was Chen Yue who watched him grow up step by step.
"How is the training of the soldiers going?" Chenyue asked a question that concerned him a lot.
General Qian Zimo smiled calmly: "General, don't worry."
This short sentence reflects the confidence of this Daliang Dragon Rider general.
Xiao Shangwen also shrugged: "I will not let the soldiers down!"
"Haha, you two boys." Chen Yue laughed loudly: "Okay, then I will wait and see. You go down and rest first. When the military situation ahead is found out, it will be time for you to contribute."
"No!" The two people who had been on the road for several days didn't say much and left.
The next day, the crossbowmen who went out to inquire about the military situation came back. To their surprise, there was one missing person in the crowd, and that was the newly appointed crossbowman captain Xie Xiaolei.
Crossbowman Shi Xiong stood in Chenyue's house and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "General, Lieutenant Xie was intercepted by General Lang outside the city and asked me to report the military situation."
Chenyue raised his head in surprise: "You were intercepted by General Lang? Why did you go?"
"I don't know." Shi Xiong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "After the two of them chatted alone for a while, Captain Xie asked us to come back first."
Chu Yucheng, who was sitting aside, raised his eyebrows slightly. General Lang was acting a little strangely.
Chen Yue waved his hand helplessly: "Tell me, how is the situation in the Tatar and other departments?"
Shi Xiong quickly reported in detail the investigation situation over the past few days.
It turns out that the three tribes including the Tatars have gathered together, with a total of 30,000 people. The location for re-camping has also been found. The army is being reorganized and there are signs of preparations to attack Tianlang Pass.
Chen Yue thought to himself, and then nodded: "I know, you go down first, and when Xie Xiaolei comes back, ask him to come over!"
"No!" Shi Xiong bowed and responded.
In the room, Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng stood in front of the hanging map and studied it. They were preparing to take a preemptive strike and send troops to attack and destroy this group of barbarians.
"General!" A loud shout broke the silence in the room.
Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng turned their heads in shock, only to see Youzhou General Wang Rusong rushing in with a roar.
"General Wang, what's wrong?" Chen Yue asked in confusion.
Wang Rusong said anxiously: "Two hours ago, Lang Yi, Shi Tiangong and three generals Bu Wenshan took the original Hulu Camp's 6,000 soldiers out of the city and headed north all the way!"
"What!" Chen Yue stood up suddenly: "Do you know what they are going to do?"
Several senior cavalry generals came out in full force, and even without Chenyue's military symbols, they mobilized 6,000 soldiers without authorization. This was a serious crime at the border that would have resulted in beheading.
Chu Yucheng understood something instantly. He looked at Wang Rusong and said, "I'm afraid they went to find the Tatar cavalry?"
Wang Rusong smiled bitterly and nodded, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chen Yue: "This is sent by the old general Lang Yi."
Chenyue was stunned for a moment, then he took the letter and started reading:
The last generals Lang Yi, Shi Tiangong, Bu Wenshan Baibai, and Tuoping Valley fought, and Yuan Hulu Camp retreated without a fight, which caused the morale of the Beiliang frontier army to be greatly damaged, and the three ministers were heartbroken.
Now we are leading six thousand horses out of the pass, and will attract tens of thousands of Tatar horses to the Tianlang Plain. We hope that the general will set up an ambush and wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop when the enemy's formation is in chaos!
Please forgive me for using troops without authorization. We may never see each other again. The six thousand Beiliang frontier troops have decided to die. The last three generals are lucky to be Beiliang people and Beiliang troops in this life!
Lang Yi, Shi Tiangong, Bu Wenshan and the six thousand border troops kowtowed!
"Huh~ Old General, why bother?" Chen Yue slowly closed his eyes and handed the letter in his hand to Chu Yucheng.
Chu Yucheng quickly read the letter and found that it was exactly as he expected.
"General Chen, what should we do? The enemy force is five times larger than the Hulu Camp. Do we want to chase them back?" Wang Rusong, who had read the letter a long time ago, asked eagerly.
"If they could get it back, would they still keep this letter?" Chu Yucheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Chenyue stood up, glanced at the map, and said in a deep voice: "Send the order!"
Chu Yucheng and Wang Rusong immediately straightened their backs and waited quietly for the order.
"Order Qian Zimo and Xiao Shangwen to lead the Daliang Dragon Cavalry to the Tianlang Plain to set up an ambush! Chu Yucheng will lead the Tianlang Army to garrison the pass. General Wang, let the Right Cavalry Army prepare for war. I will rush to the Tianlang Plain with you!"
"General, I'll just go!" When Wang Rusong heard that Chenyue wanted to lead the troops in person, he immediately stopped him.
"I'll go there in person. That's it. I'll give the order immediately!" Chen Yue made the decision without hesitation.
"promise!"
