Time has entered the twelfth lunar month in a hurry, but Daqian’s vitality this year is somewhat lacking. Because many people in Daqian have lost their families this year.
In the autumn, the Ministry of War ordered the Zhechong Prefecture and the Anbei Protectorate to be reorganized. The other three provinces were not idle either. The Zhechong Prefecture under each prefectural government was all dispatching troops and generals.
By the end of the year, additional soldiers and generals had arrived to guard the border. Frictions on the border also increased sharply, and most of the initiators were large-scale border troops.
There was no expedition for three years. During the entire three years, the Daqian Frontier Army maintained restraint, and this restraint gradually faded away as the three years of no expedition came to an end.
The Su Mansion occupies almost half of the square, and the courtyard is considered to be among the top ten in Chang'an. However, the courtyard with the gentle Jiangnan style is full of chilling atmosphere at this time.
All the generals of the Northern Army who stayed in Chang'an gathered in the front yard of Su's Mansion. The front hall of Su's Mansion was filled with third-grade generals in purple.
At this time, Su Ce was sitting in the front hall. In front of him were twelve generals of the Northern Army in purple. As for the military leader, he did not come. As a noble, he stayed alone during this sensitive time. In their own homes, they also need to recruit young generals in the army.
Su Ce drank the refreshing strong tea, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the twelve generals in purple clothes in the front hall.
Purple robes are worn in the third rank of Daqian and above, but non-generals in the army are not allowed to wear purple robes. Each purple robe general can lead an army alone, one person wears purple robes, and the other takes off purple robes. Such purple robe generals have always been the purple robe generals of the Northern Army since the founding of the country. Remaining at the thirty-sixth position, Su Ce showed a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
"This year, the Rus state allowed the Nine Barbarians to attack our Zuowuguan. This is an opportunity for our Northern Army." Su Ce put down the teacup in his hand, knocked on the table and shouted.
Looking around the front hall, Su Ce opened his eyelids and said in a serious tone: "There are still two hours left in the Great Court Meeting. Yuan Ping of the South Yamen, Zhao Huayu of the North Yamen, and the military leaders of the other three sides have also been decided. However, the leaders of the Jianzhang Camp The general is just a cover for the three sides."
"In early September, the Tubo cavalry attacked Tuocheng in Anxi. Anxi sent 7,000 troops to attack the Tubo Black Stone Fort at the Kunlun Pass, led by General Liu Shen."
"In October, Baiyue attacked Liuzhao. Annan sent 6,000 troops and occupied three cities of Baiyue. The leader was Diao Wenyu."
"Goguryeo conquered Nanshiwei. At the end of July, Nanshiwei submitted a map to the Andong Protectorate, and the plan is enclosed. Anton sent out three thousand cavalry to cut off Goguryeo's grain roads, and the commander-in-chief was Zhou Li."
"Now these three people are in Chang'an. The saint has not yet decided where to use the troops. We will try our best to gain the upper hand for our Northern Army at the Great Court Meeting. Regardless of the outcome, you and the twelve of us will be rotated after the Great Court Meeting. Guarding the border, I won’t say any more. In the great battle between the great dynasties, our Northern Army will take the lead, and our military fortune will be prosperous! We will win!"
"Here! The Northern Army takes the lead, and the military fortune is prosperous!" The twelve generals in purple stood up one after another.
"Follow me to court!"
Su Ce stood up, wearing black basalt armor. He did not wear the crimson dark clothes that represented his rank, but the black dark clothes that represented the Northern Army and echoed the basalt armor. This set of basalt armor was rough in workmanship, but It is the inherited armor of the Northern Army and has been in existence for more than 120 years. It was previously enshrined in the mansion of the old commander Li Sizhe.
Wearing Xuanwu armor and a Xuanwu seal on his waist, Su Ce led twelve purple-clothed generals out of the Su Mansion. Su Ce rode in front, and the twelve purple-clothed generals followed closely behind.
On the wide Zhuque Street, the sound of horse hooves hitting the blue bricks was very loud. When generals in scarlet robes at the intersections on both sides of Zhuque Street saw Su Ce and his party, they turned their horses and followed them.
The general is galloping, the sound of hoofbeats prompts the beacon fire.
When Su Ce and his party arrived in front of the palace, it was still early.
"dismount!"
The order was issued. At this moment, headed by Su Ce, twelve generals in purple and seventy-two generals in scarlet uniforms dismounted neatly, handed their horses to the prison guards, and then lined up to stand in front of the palace gate.
However, the other five armies will not let the Northern Army dominate the front.
The black basalt armor of the Northern Army, the cyan Qinglong Armor of the Eastern Army, the white White Tiger Armor of the Western Army, the red Suzaku Armor of the Southern Army, the bright silver Nan Ya Qilin Armor, the red gold Northern Ya Dragon Scale Armor, and the Dagan Liujia gathered together. palace gate.
Before the palace gate was opened, the battle between the six armies had already begun quietly.
No one spoke. The generals of the six armies looked intently, waiting for the palace door to open. The civil servants on the other side got off the carriage and lined up according to their rank, preparing to enter the city.
"Creak, creak, creak, creak..." The thousand-jin gate of the palace gate rose little by little.
Su Ce shouted: "The Northern Army enters the city!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ce strode forward, and the other commanders of the five armies also gave orders to enter the city.
The three gates of the palace gate are open, with military officials walking to the left and civil servants walking to the right, and all officials, both civil and military, go their own way.
But today, a fight started at the side door belonging to the military attache because of who was ahead and who was behind.
"Formation!" Su Ce shouted as the Northern Army became the target of the other armies. Eighty-five people formed a circular formation as quickly as possible, occupying the center of the open space in front of the palace gate.
The remaining five armies also formed formations at the same time, with forty-three generals from Anxi, thirty-six generals from Anton, twenty-nine generals from Annan, forty-three generals from Beiya, and fifty-seven generals from Nanya.
"Beiya retreat! This is a four-sided battle! We will not participate!" Zhao Huayu, who was wearing red-gold dragon scale armor, immediately ordered and led his generals to push back a hundred steps.
At the same time, Yuan Ping, who was wearing bright silver unicorn armor, also shouted: "Nan Ya Zhongzheng, the struggle between the four sides has nothing to do with us, take a hundred steps back!"
Seeing the northern and southern government offices retreating a hundred steps, Su Ce shouted: "The northern army goes first, and the other three armies retreat!"
"The Northern Army takes the lead? Have you asked me about the Western Army? The Eastern Army and the Southern Army, march together with our Western Army! The cone formation will break the army!" Liu Shen, wearing white tiger armor, roared angrily, waving his fists and leading four of his men. Twelve generals crashed into the Union Army's circle.
"Enter the Eastern Army!" Zhou Liren, who was wearing a green dragon armor, didn't say much. He jumped up and kicked in, followed closely by the generals behind him.
"The Southern Army is fighting!" Diao Wenyu was wearing a red Suzaku Armor, but his temper was not fiery. The 28 generals of the Southern Army moved around the center, which was hot from the beginning, to put pressure on the Northern Army.
"Yu!" The round formation is a simple military formation, and there is no reason not to fight back after being beaten. Su Ce saw a Feiyi general being beaten and staggered, and quickly pulled him behind him and shouted: "Yu Xi Army, defeat the Eastern Army."
A hole was revealed in the circular formation. Su Ce led two generals in purple clothes and twelve generals in scarlet clothes. They carried the fists of the Eastern Army generals and used less to fight against the larger ones. The remaining ten generals in purple clothes also began to direct everyone to form a small formation. , buy time for Su Ce.
Fighting in the army is not a fight between scoundrels on the street. Although the circular formation was in danger, it secured the safety behind Su Ce. However, the generals of each army did not fight independently. They only looked at the patterns of their armor and stomach, and formed one after another. In a small formation, the art of joint attack in the army is simple. If someone is a shield, then someone is a sword.
No one hits the vital points because the person in front of them is still Zepao, but everyone's goal is to defeat the person in front of them who is different from themselves.
Su Ce had just kicked someone down, and then received a punch on his chin. Su Ce turned his head and punched the attacker, knocking him over. The person who was knocked down consciously stepped aside, but his eyes were full of unwillingness.
The combined number of the three armies is greater than that of the Northern Army, but the Northern Army belongs to the same army. If the people are united, the mountains can be moved.
None of the four armies wanted to be the first to fall. Although the three armies had more troops, they were unable to capture the Northern Army's circular formation. The Western Army was entangled in the circular formation. Although the Eastern Army was brave, Su Ce and the four troops behind him could not win.
The purple-clad generals and the twenty-four scarlet-clad generals are currently the most capable group of people in the Northern Army.
There are Confucian commanders in the frontier army, but there are no Confucian generals. They are all people who have come up step by step through military merit. They are different from those in the northern and southern yamen who have relied on the influence of their families. Every one of them has come from the heap of the dead.
Climbed out.
There are also generals in Nanya who have grown up on the battlefield, but they don't have the ruthlessness of the Border Army, otherwise they would not choose to leave the Border Army.
"Damn it, the Southern Army hasn't come yet, and our Eastern Army has no one left!" Zhou Li glanced disdainfully at the Southern Army's Diao Wenyu who was still making a fighting gesture.
When Diao Wenyu was called, his face felt hot but he made no move to step forward.
As soon as Zhou Li finished speaking, Su Ce's fist arrived. Su Ce knocked Zhou Li over, smacked his lips, and spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked behind him and saw that only four of the twenty-six people who had just rushed out together were left.
He laughed and shouted: "My Northern Army has lost twenty-two, all of them were beaten. The Eastern Army is pretty good!"
Although they are all warriors on the battlefield, there are always strengths and weaknesses. Half of the twenty-nine members of the Eastern Army are over forty years old. The twenty-six most capable members of the Northern Army are all under thirty years old.
He killed 29 people of the Eastern Army and sacrificed 22 people. The Eastern Army was not weak.
But when Buddhas compete for a stick of incense and people compete for a breath of air, Su Ce will not say depressing words.
After fighting the Eastern Army, Su Ce turned around to fight with the others. The Western Army was the current enemy of the Northern Army. As for the Southern Army, when Diao Wenyu chose to fight, the Southern Army lost the qualification to participate in the competition among the four armies.
Su Ce was kicked by Liu Shen as soon as he stepped forward. Su Ce punched Liu Shen in return.
The two of them looked at each other and secretly thought that they had met their match. However, when two tigers were fighting, how could they let a hungry wolf watch and take advantage?
Liu Kun shouted: "How about we clear out the Confederate army and then fight again."
Su Ce responded loudly: "Okay, clear the Southern Army first. The Northern Army will retreat temporarily and attack the Southern Army. Come up with me!"
Liu Shen also shouted loudly: "Attack the Southern Army! Follow me!"
Diao Wenyu had a bitter look on his face. He was used to fighting Liuzhao and Baiyue. He always wanted to reap the benefits. Looking at the Western Army and Northern Army rushing over, Diao Wenyu bit the bullet and shouted: "One pour is enough, two will be enough."
Make one, come on, our Confederate Army is not weak!"
It's just that I don't say it softly, but the Southern Army is mostly from the South, and its frame and body are inherently inferior to the Western Army and the Northern Army, which are mostly from the North. In addition, the Southern Army has no intention of fighting for anything, and will fight and retreat.
, also fell to the ground one after another without holding on.
"Beijing Army Su Ce!"
"Liu Shen of the Western Army!"
Su Ce and Liu Shen shouted each other's names, and the generals beside them shouted to catch them.
Both Su Ce and Liu Shen knew that they could not fail. The Western Army and the Northern Army had always had disputes. The predecessor of the Western Army was the forbidden army of the former dynasty but guarded the bitter cold Western Region, while the predecessor of the Northern Army was only a local army. If both armies were not from Guan
Long, there is a passionate love. If the two armies stumble each other, there will be no peace in Daqian. However, the two armies will not let go of what they should fight for.
