Wen Hao was not discouraged. These days, he had the courage to attack the city and seize the pond according to Liu Ziqiu's words. Although Fan Lihua still ignored him, he could feel that the frost on Fan Lihua's face seemed to have some
There were signs of melting. But this time it was different. After he went out, he might never come back, but he couldn't bear to continue to provoke other girls.
Just when Wen Hao was about to turn his head, he suddenly heard a "squeak" and the courtyard door opened. Fan Lihua leaned against the door with a cold face.
Wen Hao couldn't leave anymore, so he stepped forward and said: "Miss Fan, I won't be back for the next few days. Send some dried meat over. Xiaohong knows how to milk goats. Just leave these ewes to her."
Already."
Xiaohong is the maid given to Wen Hao by Liu Ziqiu, and is now responsible for taking care of Fan Lihua's daily life.
"Are you about to go on an expedition?" Fan Lihua came from a military household, so this scene is all too familiar.
After all, this expedition was a military secret. At first, Wen Hao wanted to find an excuse to excuse it, but after a moment of hesitation, he nodded and said, "Yes."
Fan Lihua bit her lip and said nothing.
"Then I'm leaving, take care of yourself." Wen Hao felt empty and bored, so he turned around and left.
"Take care of yourself, I also want one of the grasshoppers you caught." Fan Lihua's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and this tough guy trembled, and finally walked away without looking back.
Looking at Wen Hao's retreating back, Fan Lihua seemed to have a few tears in her eyes. Until noon today, Wen Hao did not come to show his courtesy, and Fan Lihua vaguely felt that something big was about to happen. Throughout the afternoon, she was confused
These gods were not at home and walked behind the courtyard gate for no apparent reason several times. As expected, they got the news of Wen Hao's expedition.
Humans are not plants, so how can they be ruthless? Wen Hao's kindness to her was like seeds buried in her heart. These seeds had just sprouted, but the person who sowed them had to stay away. It was really a twist of fate. Fan Lihua suddenly had an idea.
Feeling like crying loudly.
…
Time is running out and Weiding City must be captured within a month. Murong Fuyun is also organizing his army. As usual, in every battle, tribes other than Xianbei are at the forefront. In the land of the West Sea, except for
Apart from the Xianbei people, there are four most powerful tribes, namely Tuoba Mumi's Dangxiang Tuoba tribe, Mengwuza's Shiwei tribe, Xifeng Yelilan's Dangxiang Xifeng tribe and Hunluo's Tiele tribe.
.
This was the second time that the Tuoba tribe rejected his recruitment, which made Murong Fuyun gnash his teeth with hatred. But now is not the time to argue. He can only settle the score with Tuoba Mumi after regaining Weiding City. And Mengwu Zha's
The Shiwei tribe has been completely integrated into the so-called Xihai tribe. The news came from Jin Bo's eyes and ears in Weiding City. It is absolutely reliable and cannot be counted on.
Now, the task of spearheading the battle fell on the shoulders of Xifeng Yelilan and Hunluo. They each led three thousand young men and served as the left and right vanguards.
Murong Fuyun led 13,000 Xianbei cavalry to serve as the central army. This was also the last strength of the Xianbei people in the West. According to the intelligence collected by Jin Bo, Liu Ziqiu's men only had more than 8,000 men in total, and they were still made up of people from all walks of life.
Therefore, for this war, Murong Fuyun was confident that even with the strength of the Xianbei people, they still had an absolute advantage. The reason why he wanted to summon other tribes was firstly to preserve his strength as much as possible, and secondly
It was to declare to the tribal leaders that he was the master of this land.
Behind him is an army composed of other small tribes, with more than 10,000 people. The task of this army is to drive cattle and sheep, and transport fodder, which is equivalent to the role played by Liu Ziqiu and his army during Yang Guangxi's expedition.
, that is, servants and civilian husbands.
…
Hunluo served as a pioneer on the left, and his tribal camp was on the shores of Hala Lake. This is a saltwater lake slightly larger than Tuosu Lake. It is located in the north of the Bayingol River and about 60 kilometers east of the Ulanda Ban Mountain.
Three hundred miles. He has been appointed as the vanguard by Murong Fuyun more than once, but thanks to his caution, the casualties among his clan members in each battle were not large. It was just that the target of the battle this time made him a little scared.
The wedding at Tuoba Yuanju was still fresh in Hunluo's memory. The force Liu Ziqiu displayed was like a god, especially the bloody handprints on the top of the boulder, which still appeared in front of him from time to time.
The most terrifying thing was the battle in the small valley that happened later. That battle did not spread in the West Sea Wasteland, but Hunluo knew it. He and Mengwuza had always been very close. When the dark clouds moved the tribe to Weiding
When he entered the city, he got the news, and it was told to him personally by the Shiwei warriors who survived the battle in the small valley. Of the total 6,000 warriors, only more than 400 were able to walk through the valley in the end, but Liu Ziqiu showed mercy.
Otherwise, not a single person would be left alive. The Shiwei soldier also saw with his own eyes that the Western Navy shot Klie's head empty with an arrow. It is said that the person who did this was only a general under Liu Ziqiu, not Liu Ziqiu himself.
Hun Luo was walking in the middle of the team with his heart full of thoughts when he suddenly came across a small pond. The pond was very shallow and all turned into solid ice. The horses stepped on it as if they were walking on flat ground. After walking very far, Hun Luo couldn't help but look back.
.Under the sun, the small pond shone with a strange brilliance, much like the huge rock that Liu Ziqiu had photographed into the ground.
"Stop all of them!" Hun Luo felt panicked and quickly called one of his confidants and ordered, "Hun Luo, send a few teams of scouts to the front to explore the path, and send more to the back! Others!
People camp where they are!”
Huntela hesitated and said: "Sir, we have only been gone for two hours, so there is no need to be so cautious."
Hun Luo shook his head and said: "This battle cannot be fought."
Huntela said in surprise: "What do you mean, sir?"
Hun Luo suddenly waved his hand and whispered: "You personally take a few people to Weiding City to report to Master Liu!"
"Ah!" Huntela was surprised and said, "If the king of the country finds out, then..."
Hun Luo said: "I have a hunch that after this battle, Murong Fuyun's fate will be worse than the battle with Chewo Zhenshan!"
…
Xifengye Lilan had never heard of an extremely tragic battle that took place in that nameless valley, but he knew Tuoba Mumi's thoughts. As long as Liu Ziqiu died, he could still marry Tuoba Qianyu and go home.
.Therefore, this time as the right vanguard in the attack on Weiding City, Xifengye Lilan was even more active than before.
His tribal camp is in the Dachaidan Valley to the west of the Yuka River, bypassing the southern foot of Qaidam Mountain. After a day's march, he can cross Tuosu Lake, and one day he will arrive at Weiding City. This route is also Murong Fu's.
Allows the selected main attack direction.
On the night of receiving the order, Xifeng Yelilan organized Qingzhuang to set off. He wanted to be the first to enter Weiding City before everyone else because he had taken a fancy to the woman who was with Liu Ziqiu that day. He knew
, that is Jin Bo's woman. If everyone enters the city, the woman will definitely return to Jin Bo. Only if he enters the city first, can he take the woman away and hide her without anyone noticing.
The Dangxiang Qiang people are different from other tribes in the West Sea. They part-farm and part-pastoral, and their diet includes beef and mutton as well as various grains. Most of the nomadic tribes’ herdsmen eat mainly meat and lack certain vitamins. As soon as they get late, they
Being unable to see clearly in the wild means suffering from what later generations call night blindness. However, this does not happen to the Dangxiang Qiang people because they often eat grains and vegetables. Marching at night is not a difficult task for them.
After a hard march in the middle of the night, Xifeng Yelilan led his troops to bypass the Qaidam Mountain and arrived at the south bank of the Tartaling River. He took a simple sheepskin map and roughly estimated the distance to see if he could reach it before dawn.
Unable to reach Tuosu Lake, he saw a horse galloping in front of him. The knight on the horse was wounded by several arrows and was already dying. It was the scout cavalry he sent out.
Xi Fengye Lilan was shocked and asked: "Tell me, what happened?"
The scout cavalry said intermittently: "Ahead, there is a large group of enemies ahead. The enemy scouts, brother, and brothers are all dead..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the scout cavalry died.
Those who can be selected as scout cavalry are not only top-notch in cavalry and shooting, but also very clever. If they can annihilate all the scout cavalry he sends out, the size of the opponent's scout cavalry must be quite large. And the size of the scout cavalry often determines the strength of the army.
Size. Who does this army belong to? What is it doing here? Xi Fengye Lilan muttered, quickly ordered someone to light a torch, and studied the sheepskin map again.
According to Murong Fuyun, Liu Ziqiu had only 8,000 men, and the number of cavalry was less than 3,000. In order to defend the city, it was impossible for Liu Ziqiu to send out all his troops. At most, he could only send out 3,000 cavalry. With 3,000 cavalry,
It is unrealistic to fight against the Xianbei army in the wilderness. Liu Ziqiu would not be so stupid. If this sudden army belongs to Liu Ziqiu, what is his purpose?
"No!" Xifeng Yelilan's eyes suddenly fell on the Daqaidan Valley, "He wants to steal our retreat!"
Xifeng Yelilan took the lead for Murong Fuyun. He felt guilty and thought Liu Ziqiu would deal with him. Moreover, he thought Liu Ziqiu's reasons would be very sufficient. After all, he could be regarded as Liu Ziqiu's love rival. Thinking of this, Xifeng Yelilan took the lead.
Ye Lilan quickly ordered: "Quick, withdraw!"
The riding skills of the party members were also superb. Following this order, the front team changed to the rear team, and the rear team changed to the front team. The army that was marching eastward just now retreated westwards like a tide. Xifeng Yelilan and his son originally
Being at the front of the team, now I am at the back.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of horse hooves behind me, and the scout cavalry team found their way here. Looking at the formation, there were hundreds of them.
Xifeng Ye Lilan's second son, Xifeng, was also brave in temperament. He couldn't hold himself back for a long time and said loudly: "Father, they are only a few hundred people, kill them!"
Before Xi Fengye Lilan could agree, he had already turned his horse's head and led more than 300 of his men to kill him.
