No one dared to go up and block the sharp edge of these Liao Army cavalry. They could only watch as they reaped the lives of the Black Sand Army cavalry.
The war started suddenly and ended equally suddenly.
In just two quarters of an hour, this Liao army cavalry, which probably numbered no more than a thousand men, left in a domineering manner with considerable arrogance.
Only the panicked Fengmenguan soldiers were left in the desert, as well as the surviving soldiers of the Black Sand Army who had paid a heavy price and were in disarray.
Everyone looks pale.
In just this short period of time, this thousand-man Liao army actually rushed left and right in the Black Sand Army formation and launched several charges.
The entire cavalry, under the command of their general, followed the flag and moved like the wind, just like an arm and a finger.
The cavalry of the Black Sand Army, not to mention the heavy cavalry in front, even the light cavalry hiding behind the heavy cavalry were not spared and suffered heavy losses.
Now there is a desolate scene in front of us. The Black Sand Army cavalry, who were still at full strength before, are probably only three to two hundred people still standing, with their eyes in a trance.
Disabled.
The Black Sand Army's cavalry had not had time to go to Fengmen Pass to see the Liao Army's strength, nor had they had time to return to Xiping to prepare for the attack, so they were disabled.
Not to mention the ordinary soldiers, the generals in the company's army had already lost all color on their faces.
Now no one has to laugh at anyone.
These Liao troops were truly terrifying.
I don't know how much time passed before the surviving generals finally came to their senses and gathered their energy to gather the scattered soldiers.
Then they staggered away to Xiping together.
At this time, the two defeated armies marched "supporting each other", and there was really no sign of anger in the team.
…
Two days later, the defeated army finally returned to Xiping Prefecture.
Although they did not even enter Xiping, but went directly to the Black Sand Army's barracks, the news of the fall of Fengmen Pass still spread like a hurricane.
It spread from Xiping to Xingqing Prefecture, and then radiated from Xingqing Prefecture to various places in Dayu.
For a time, everyone in the northwest region was in danger.
Although there are 200,000 forbidden troops guarding the most vast county in Dayu, and these 200,000 forbidden troops are famous even in Dayu, and are famous for their ability to conquer and fight, but Fengmen Pass was lost for three days.
Indisputable fact.
Maybe the Liao army has become stronger, or maybe the Northwest Forbidden Army guarding Fengmen Pass is not worthy of its name.
However, these are not important anymore.
You know, in addition to the Liao army, it is said that even Tiemeng's army is also eyeing Xingqing County and preparing to attack.
Not to mention that there are no reinforcements from the imperial court at the moment. Even if reinforcements arrive, a large-scale battle in the northwest is very likely to devastate the lives of the northwest.
Anyone who has other options is planning to move out of the northwest in a hurry at this juncture and seek refuge in the prefectures and counties south of Xingqing County.
Chengdu Prefecture.
When the news of the fall of Fengmen Pass reached Chengdu Prefecture, it was already a few days later.
This news was like a pebble thrown into an ancient well. As soon as it came in, it caused waves in Chengdu Mansion at an extremely fast speed.
In the streets, alleys, teahouses and restaurants, all kinds of people began to discuss this matter.
At this time, Lu Fang, Lu Liang and Xu Jinnian had already been discussing in Lu Liang's office for some time.
They may not be the first people in Chengdu to learn about the fall of Fengmen Pass, but they are definitely the first ones to receive the news.
The power of the rebel army is still weak, but those ancient aristocratic families in Chengdu Prefecture have big trees and deep roots. It is not an exaggeration to say that their tentacles have extended to all parts of Chongqing.
In short, if something big happens in any county, someone will always spread the news to Chengdu Prefecture as quickly as possible.
In fact, Lu Fang didn't think there was anything to discuss about this matter at first, and he wasn't surprised either.
As the saying goes, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. Although the Northwest Forbidden Army is powerful, it is not necessarily the most powerful in the world.
What's more, there are many uncertainties in fighting. From ancient times to the present, countless generals who are good at fighting have capsized in the gutter.
Anyway, Chengdu Prefecture is far away from the Emperor. Even if the Liao army really wins a series of battles against Dayu, it will not be able to affect this place in a short time.
Lu Liang could take advantage of this period to consolidate his soldiers in Chengdu County and recuperate.
Speaking of which, the longer the battle between Daliao and other countries and Dayu goes on, the better it will be for the rebels.
But now, Lu Fang's expression is a little solemn.
When Lu Liang told him about the fall of Fengmen Pass, he only thought that Lu Liang and Xu Jinnian came to him because they wanted to regret their promise to Yu Yuanwei.
After all, it only takes a little thinking to understand that the fall of Fengmen Pass will inevitably affect the whole body. Liang Hanmin will definitely have to mobilize the imperial troops defending Kyoto to go to the border pass.
In this way, Kyoto's defense will be much weaker than before.
This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But Lu Liang and Xu Jingnian did not mention anything about going back on their word.
After talking about Fengmenguan, Lu Liang just sighed, "I originally thought that even if Liao, Jin, Feng, and Tiemeng really went to war with Dayu, they would be blocked from the gate of Dayu. Liang Hanmin is a man with ambitious plans.
People should find a way to place the battlefield outside Dayu. Now that the wind gate is lost, how can the people in the northwest of Dayu still live a peaceful life..."
Lu Fang blinked.
It was probably not until this moment that he truly understood the usefulness of the imperial skills taught by Xu Jingnian to Lu Liang.
Although Lu Liang has a weaker temperament and can even be said to be indecisive, if he becomes the emperor of Dayu, it will definitely be a blessing to the people of Dayu.
His mind has become accustomed to focusing on the people of Dayu.
This kind of awareness is something that many princes and princesses living in the palace compound do not have.
"What a disaster in Chongqing... How could those guys at Fengmenguan be so careless..."
Then Xu Jinnian also sighed.
Lu Fang scratched his head and said nothing.
At this time, Lu Liang suddenly looked at him, "Xiao Fang, are the yields of your crops really that impressive?"
It's pitiful to say that Lu Fang has been planting new crops since he was in Ningyuan County. And until now, he has only seen results in that experimental field.
Lu Liang also saw it.
Compared to the entire Chengdu County, the harvest in the experimental fields alone was not enough to completely reassure him.
"certainly."
Lu Fang naturally has enough confidence in this.
Lu Liang looked at Xu Jingnian and said, "Grandpa Xu, do you think we should continue to expand planting? I'm worried that when the Liao army goes deep into the pass, many refugees will come to our place. When the time comes, we can't just turn a blind eye.
Look at people dying of hunger everywhere."
Xu Jingnian nodded with deep understanding, "It should be so. Your Highness's kind heart is a blessing to the people."
