Yelv Bianhuang was stunned. After listening to Xiao Shicheng's analysis, he realized that the matter was not that simple.
Xiao Shicheng glanced at him and deliberately said to himself: "There are too many people in our city. Except for the strong men with less than 100,000 men, the rest of them have no fighting power at all and can only waste food. Alas, if these
If people can take the initiative to attack and let them entangle the Hetao army, then our army can be mobilized to grab food, but..."
After saying this, Xiao Shicheng paused deliberately. Yelv Bianhuang's eyes lit up and he said repeatedly: "Why didn't I think of it? If all these people are driven out, then the food in our city can last for at least two months.
The military rations they grabbed from the Hetao can last for four months without any problem. Haha, letting them entangle the Hetao army will be a good use of the waste."
Xiao Shicheng pretended not to be able to bear it and said: "General, isn't this bad? After all, they are also our Mandan people. Besides, why did they take the initiative to leave the city?"
Yelu Bianhuang didn't realize that he had been fooled by Xiao Shicheng, and said with a smile: "Since they are all subjects of the kingdom, they must be prepared to shed blood for the kingdom. Besides, if the Hetao army breaks through Mifeng City,
, they can’t escape death, it’s better to do it now
They are making some contributions to the kingdom. As for asking them to leave the city voluntarily, it is easy. Just say that there is no food in the city, and the military rations in Hetao happen to pass through the south of Mifeng City. No matter who it is, as long as they can grab the food, the food will be
His, they will definitely fight to the death for it.
After saying that, Yelubian said proudly: "General, this matter has been settled. What do you think?"
Xiao Shicheng pretended to be embarrassed and said: "General, this is not good. Let your own people die. This general cannot bear to give this order."
Yelu Bianhuang snorted coldly: "Since the general can't bear it, then I will do it. Don't worry, we men of the Mandan royal family are all people who dare to take responsibility. When the prime minister asks about it in the future, I, the general, will stand up."
After saying that, Yelu Bianhuang glanced at Xiao Shicheng contemptuously, turned around and left without looking back. Xiao Shicheng did not get angry, and only when Yelv Bianhuang's figure disappeared completely did a sneer appear at the corner of his mouth.
He had thought of this idea for a long time, but he was not a member of the royal family after all. Driving his people to die, no matter what the reason, would lead to death in the end. Therefore, he followed the instructions and inspired the idiot Yelu Bianhuang. Anyway, now there is
He was the one who had the idea, he was the one who gave the orders, and he had expressed his position. Even if there was trouble in the future, it would not fall on him.
However, the strength of the troops leaving the city still needs to be carefully calculated, otherwise it will not be worthwhile. Xiao Shicheng pinched his chin and thought.
North entrance of Jimingyi Road.
The ice and snow outside the Great Wall have just melted, and there is just a little greenery on the open land. At this time in previous years, there were already many farmers working in the fields, but now, except for the Hetao army in military uniforms, there are only
A commoner who transports food and baggage.
The army in Hetao has been fighting outside all year round. In order to support the huge military operations, the three roads in Hetao have been implementing the policy of cultivating health and recuperation. The people in Hetao did not have to work hard. The main reason is that there are more than 100,000 prisoners of war in Hetao, and these people basically bear the burden.
All the hard work of paving roads and building bridges. However, the transportation of grain, grass, and logistical supplies was undertaken by civilians on the Third Road of Hetao. After all, these combat supplies were of great importance, and Hetao did not trust the prisoners of war at all.
"Commander, will Xiao Shicheng really come?" Lan Gaoping asked more than once.
Feng Jing shook his head: "Who knows? But as soon as they step out of the gate of Mi Feng City, we will definitely know."
Fengjing didn't know what was going on in Mifeng City, but he intuitively realized that this was an opportunity for the defenders of Mifeng City. As long as the defenders didn't want to wait for death in the city, they would definitely try to get military supplies from the Hetao.
Now that the Mandan's power has completely shrunk back into the city, the vast countryside and small towns have all become hunting grounds for the Hetao cavalry. With the advantage of the cavalry, as long as the Mandan army steps out of the city gate, the Hetao side will inevitably
will know.
Looking at the green earth, Feng Jing suddenly sighed.
As an orthodox soldier, Fengjing does not like to massacre civilians. Among the many generals in Hetao, Fengjing is an exception. However, as a Chinese citizen, Fengjing has no choice. Between the aliens outside the Great Wall and the Chinese nation
The conflicts cannot be resolved peacefully.
At first, the conflict between the two tribes was only due to the gap between the rich and the poor, so the foreign tribes outside the Great Wall invaded the border one after another, plundering a large amount of gold and silver property and even female slaves from China. When China became strong, it was natural to send troops to retaliate. Hatred is such a generation
After a generation of accumulation, even though there are countless aliens outside the Great Wall, the hatred between the two has not been eliminated.
Feng Jing smiled bitterly: "In that case, let me end this hatred once and for all." Feng Jing thought in his heart.
Suddenly, a rapid whistle sounded from the lookout post. Feng Jing quickly looked up and saw the flag carrier above quickly waving the red and green flags in his hands, issuing the most urgent battle alarm. Perhaps it was because he was too shocked.
Because of this, he kept repeating his actions, as if he couldn't express the shock in his heart without using such repeated gestures.
Henghui raised his head and said doubtfully: "Two hundred thousand? Impossible. It is impossible for Mandan to gather so many troops?"
Although Feng Jing was a little surprised, he was much calmer after all, having experienced many battles. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Stop talking nonsense and get ready to fight!" After saying that, Feng Jing put his toes on the stirrups a little, a few times.
With a leap, he had already jumped onto the nearest sentry tower, looking far into the distance. Looking at the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but take a breath of air.
There are indeed 200,000, and the number is probably even more, but they are not the regular troops of the Mandan, but ordinary people. They carry all kinds of weapons in their hands, and behind them are all black heads. As for the Mandan infantry and cavalry,
It's behind these ordinary people.
"I would like to know how these Mandan people escaped the strict surveillance of our scouts in the Hetao?" Feng Jing said angrily while standing on the sentry tower.
No one can answer this question, and no one can answer it at all. From Mifeng City to the north entrance of Jiming Post Road, it is more than fifty miles away. For these ordinary people, it is at least three hours of marching time
.And the Hetao has widely deployed scouts along this section of the journey, but surprisingly, not even a single scout noticed the opponent's movements.
Feng Jing was not lamenting his bad luck and being caught off guard by the opponent, but he was a little depressed. In fact, the Mandan side was also very lucky. Even Xiao Shicheng, who personally commanded it, was quite lucky. Although he had been prepared, the cavalry
He suddenly struck out with lightning speed and killed all the scouts along the way in the Hetao. However, he was able to quietly reach the sight of the army sentry tower in the Hetao and was discovered this time. It was indeed a bit of luck.
Feng Jing flew down from the sentry tower, mounted his horse, and shouted loudly: "Get ready to fight!"
Feng Jing was very angry now. The scouts along the way were all arranged by himself. Logically speaking, there would be no omissions at all. However, the other party, including the army and the people, actually killed more than 300,000 people in one go. It took half a day.
I didn't know anything about time. Even if it was a fluke, the negligence of the Hetao scouts also accounted for a large part.
"It seems that these bastards need to be rectified." Feng Jing thought in his heart, but the expression on his face became more serious.
Lan Gaoping came closer and said: "Commander, the situation is not good. We are all cavalry here, and the people transporting grain and grass are ordinary people. If the other party is allowed to get close, not only the food and grass will not be guaranteed, but also the lives of the common people will be in danger.
.”
Feng Jing snorted coldly: "I understand in my heart! You lead 30,000 cavalry, and you must entangle the people of the other side. They must not be allowed to get close to our defense line within an hour. Henghui, you lead your cavalry to stay here.
, in order to deal with the other party’s fish slipping through the net.”
Just as Henghui was about to open his mouth, Fengjing shouted angrily: "This is an order. If there is no reliable person guarding this place, and if the other party is lucky enough to break through our defense line, then the people and all the food and grass will be in danger."
After giving instructions to the two men, he gave a long salute: "Soldiers, please follow me now and let the Mandan barbarians see the power of our Loop!"
The Mandan people were only less than ten miles away from the Hetao position, and the 100,000 Mandan infantry and cavalry led by Xiao Shicheng and Yelu Bianhuang were behind the Mandan people. It was obvious that they were preparing to use these ordinary people as the vanguard.
Lan Gaoping led 30,000 cavalry to kill them. He was suddenly stunned for a moment. Most of these Mandan people were old, weak, women and children. They were exhausted after traveling for a long time, but their spirits were unusually high. When they saw the Hetao cavalry arriving, they
Not only did he not have the slightest fear, but he rushed towards him excitedly.
"Are these people crazy?" Zeng Dan asked, confused.
Lan Gaoping also took a breath of air: "Who knows, but we must not let them get close to our defense line, otherwise the Henghui behind will not be able to stop them."
Thirty thousand cavalry rushed into the camp of the Mandan people at lightning speed, and immediately there was a bloody storm in the sky. However, these Mandan people did not seem to be afraid of death at all. As soon as the Hetao cavalry rushed into their midst, although they gave the opponent a huge blow
Damage, but soon it seemed like water droplets merged into a sponge, and was easily swallowed up by the opponent. Although killing a Hetao cavalry would cost at least ten people or even more, the opponent was not afraid of consumption at all.
"Damn, these people are here to grab food!" Ge Zhen observed carefully, and then realized that most of these Mandan people had a bag pinned to their bodies, and their eyes were red, staring closely behind them.
Lan Gaoping realized that something was wrong. If this continued, the Hetao cavalry would suffer after all. He immediately withdrew the cavalry from the opponent's camp without hesitation, and then cut off the opponent's weapons layer by layer like peeling an apple.
Periphery.
At this time, the 60,000 cavalry led by Feng Jing also fought against the Mandan's 100,000 infantry cavalry.
Mandan obviously took the risk this time. The total number of troops in Mifeng City was only 150,000, including only 50,000 cavalry. However, Xiao Shicheng pulled out all the cavalry this time, plus five troops led by Yelu Bianhuang.
With tens of thousands of infantrymen, they have already surpassed Fengjing in terms of military strength.
The Mandan soldiers have always been elite. Their fighting qualities and the tacit understanding between the soldiers are second to none in the entire Eastern Continent. Therefore, even if they do not have good enough generals, their combat effectiveness is very strong. What's more, now
The leader was still Xiao Shicheng, the most outstanding among the Mandan generals?
Xiao Shicheng, Yelu Bianhuang and Hetao were all old rivals for many years, and they had many battles with Fengjing, but each time they ended in failure. Facing this, he was the best at cavalry among the five generals in Hetao.
Feng Jing, who made the surprise attack, was very cautious, whether it was the talented and ambitious Yelu Bianhuang or the cunning and wise Xiao Shicheng. After all, Feng Jing's reputation was truly earned on the battlefield.
Facing the surging 60,000 cavalry from Fengjing, Xiao Shicheng led his 50,000 cavalry to meet them without hesitation, trying his best to entangle the opponent. Yelu Bianhuang did not dare to hold back Xiao Shicheng at this time.
Although there was still some fear in his heart, he still led 50,000 cavalry to meet him, preparing to cooperate with Xiao Shicheng's cavalry to bite Feng Jing to death.
After a year and a half, Fengjing once again fought against the most elite Mandan army outside the Great Wall. Whether it was the confident Hetao cavalry or the well-prepared Mandan army, both sides were tit for tat.
The Mandan did not dare to flinch at all. Their experiences over the years have made them understand that when facing the Hetao cavalry, the only way out is to move forward desperately. They must not turn around and run away, otherwise they will be unlucky. As for the Hetao side,
It is accumulated from many years of fighting in the south and the north.
Over the years, no matter what kind of opponent he faced, Hetao never knew what fear was. Although he had a record of defeat, it was not a crime of war. Facing the defeated generals Xiao Shicheng and Yelu Bian
The army in Hetao is fearless.
Fengjing's cavalry was as strange and ferocious as ever. In terms of individual combat capabilities, the quality of the Hetao soldiers had stabilized the Mandan army, and Fengjing was personally commanding it. Although the Mandan had an absolute advantage in strength, they were still killed by Hetao.
The left branch is weak and the right branch is weak.
After all, Xiao Shicheng was one of the most famous generals in Mandan. Even Yelu Minghui and Yelu Chixian could not compare with him. After the initial discomfort, Xiao Shicheng gradually stabilized his position by relying on the advantage of his military strength, and launched attacks from time to time.
Fight back.
Among the Hetao army, Feng Jing is not known for his military force. However, on the battlefield, it does not mean that one can survive with great martial arts. More brains are needed. Leading the Hetao cavalry, Feng Jing interspersed with the Mandan army.
The pear blossom gun in his hand flashed with gun flowers, and the horse galloped like the wind. No one could stop it wherever it went.
As Feng Jing was about to kill, he heard a loud shout in front of him: "Mandan Yelu Mingxiang is here, who is coming!" At the end of the voice, a young general in white robes was already charging toward him with a spear and leaping to kill him.
As soon as he heard this loud shouting, Fengjing was stunned. He never expected that there would be such an arrogant person in the Mandan army, while Xiao Shicheng and Yelu Bianhuang couldn't stop complaining.
Yelu Mingxiang is also well-known in the Mandan military, but not because he is proficient in the art of war or unstoppable, but because he is the only son of Yelu Canglang. Yelu Canglang is the number one master outside the Great Wall, and
He was the brother of King Yelu of Langye, so his son also rose with the tide. Even Yelu Minghui and others were very courteous to him.
Yelu Mingxiang has been guarding Black Rock City for many years and has never fought against Hetao. Later, he joined Xiao Shicheng to reinforce Mifeng City, and then he had the opportunity to go outside and see the world. When he saw a pear-shaped spear charging left and right, he was extremely brave.
Blocking him suddenly aroused his desire to win, and regardless of Xiao Shicheng's initial instructions, he charged forward with a spear.
"when!"
The confrontation between the pear gun and the spear immediately aroused a spark. Yelu Mingxiang deserves to be the son of Yelu Canglang. Although his body shook violently on the horse, he still blocked Feng Jing's attack on the horse.
gun.
"The five great generals in Hetao are nothing more than this!" Yelu Mingxiang shouted loudly.
Xiao Shicheng could see clearly from behind and shouted anxiously: "Mingxiang, lean down!"
Yelu Mingxiang and Feng Jing were running towards each other. As he was passing by Feng Jing, he was suddenly startled. Before he understood what Xiao Shicheng meant, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. The tip of a pear blossom gun had passed by.
It popped out of his chest. The pear blossom gun penetrated through his vest with such force that it actually pierced his own breast shield.
"How is this possible?" Yelu Mingxiang said in disbelief as he looked at the red tassel on his chest that was stained red with his own blood.
The pear gun was suddenly withdrawn, and a bloody arrow emerged from Yelu Mingxiang's chest. His body tilted, and Yelu Mingxiang fell off his horse, and was quickly crushed to pieces by the surging Hetao cavalry.
Feng Jing snorted coldly: "How dare you, an ignorant kid, be arrogant in front of me?" Yelu Mingxiang's martial arts value is very good, very close to the level of the top ten heroes of China. Even if it is a head-on confrontation, Feng Jing wants to kill him.
, at least twenty moves are required. But this is on the battlefield. Feng Jing, who has experienced hundreds of battles, is not at the same level as Yelu Mingxiang, who is the first brother on the battlefield. It is just an easy return shot, and the arrogant Yelu Mingxiang is defeated.
assassination.
Feng Jing didn't care at all who the heroic general was who died under his gun. A general of this level could no longer arouse Feng Jing's interest. Not to mention Yelu Mingxiang, even Xiao Shicheng and Yelu Minghui could not arouse Feng Jing too much.
Interested. The pear blossom spear was withdrawn from Yelu Mingxiang's body like lightning. The pear blossom spear stained with Yelv Mingxiang's blood stabbed the Mandan cavalry in front again, and the red tassel on the pear blossom spear became even redder.
