Emperor Hongdao appointed Nangong Shou as a guerrilla general not only because of Nangong Shou's meritorious service in suppressing the bandits, but also because he had a deeper plan. Emperor Hongdao planned to transfer Nangong Shou back to report on his duties in a few days, and then directly transfer Nangong Shou back to report his duties. He was sent to Dongdu to become the governor. Dongdu was a superior county, so in order to stop people from talking, he was promoted to the official position of Nangong Shou in advance. Even if someone wanted to object, they would not be able to find any fault.
Meritorious ministers, sons of aristocratic families, the four famous princes of the Qian Dynasty, and a generation of heroes with great character in the world. Anyone who wants to jump out and find fault will be scolded as a street rat.
Nangong Shou has many soldiers, and the other two lieutenants are very wise and hugged Nangong Shou's lap. After all, this person is the popular person in the eyes of the current emperor. If he goes over there, he might be able to find a good place in the future...
The prairie stretches as far as the eye can see, and from a distance it seems that the sky and the earth are connected. The spring breeze caresses the earth, and clusters of colorful flowers bloom more beautifully against the backdrop of the green grass and the gentle breeze and the rising sun.
The eagle soared in the blue sky, its sharp eyes staring at the plump prey on the prairie. A groundhog that seemed to have just woken up was lying on its back on the grassland lazily basking in the sun. Suddenly, the groundhog The rat man stood up, looking around with his little head alertly, and the next moment he suddenly turned around and got into the cave.
A horse's hoof ruthlessly trampled the spring scenery and disturbed the breakfast of the eagle in the sky. After that ruthless horse's hoof, there were more, countless horse's hoofs.
War horses appeared on the horizon one after another, like overwhelming black clouds rolling in from the sky, weighing down people's chests and making it difficult to breathe.
The Temole army appeared at the border of Daqian Dynasty. Different from previous years, this time it came earlier, with more people and more horses.
In previous years, Tiemole plowing usually started after June and July, and the frequency was most frequent during the autumn harvest.
Tie Molle's army moved southward without disturbing the Ganren villages along the way. It was not until they saw Yulin, the first large city of the Ganren, that they sent out five thousand cavalry to surround Yulin.
On the wall of Yulin City, the county guard looked at the endless Temole cavalry with cold sweat on his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Tie Molle is going south, the country is at war! Where is the messenger? Light the beacon fire quickly. !”
The beacon fires and smoke soared into the sky and could be seen hundreds of miles away. The beacon fires were lit one after another and spread straight towards the territory of Daqian...
A school captain opened his mouth wide and looked at the Ganren cavalry that kept passing by. He wanted to count how many people came, but he found that he couldn't count them at all. Maybe one hundred thousand, maybe two hundred thousand, maybe more...
From noon to sunset and then to dawn, cavalry troops passed by Yulin City one after another. The county guard stood at the top of the city all night without closing his eyes. At this time, he was looking at the foreign cavalry with dark circles under his eyes.
The governor of Yulin County led a thousand soldiers to suppress the bandits with the army of Nangong Guards a few days ago. At this time, there were only 800 soldiers in the city. The county governor knew clearly that as long as the five thousand cavalry under the city were willing, Yulin The city will be destroyed at any time, and he will become the first official to die for his country.
The governor of Yulin City is similar to Xun Liang of Mayi County. He has no connections and can only guard the border. The difference is that Xun Liang’s family members are all in Mayi County, while his family members are thousands of miles away in Daxing City. .So he did not dare to open the city and surrender. There was only one way for him to go, and that was when the city was broken and he would die for his country.
The fate of some people was determined from the beginning, such as the county guards of the three border counties. Without him, since he was sent to the border as a county guard, it meant that there was no one in the court.
If you still want to stand up in the place where you pooped, wouldn't it be a foolish dream, and a dwarf would reach the sky...
Nangong Shou now holds Dingxiang and Yulin's two thousand soldiers, plus his own troops, which makes it a total of seven thousand people. But now he only has Hong Niangzi's foreign cavalry and Luo Bao's scout team beside him.
Luo Bao's scout team sent back news at midnight yesterday that they had discovered Tie Molle's army. Nangong Shou made a prompt decision and quickly retreated hundreds of miles while sending more scouts to explore the enemy's situation.
The governor of Yulin County planned to lead his troops back to Yulin but was detained by Nangong Shou. Nangong Shou just said a word and the governor gave up the idea of returning to the city.
"Two thousand people are not enough to fill the gap between his teeth. We have 7,000 people and can even chip out one of his teeth!"
If there is a chance to fight, who would foolishly return to the city to wait for death. As Nangong Shou said, even if these Qianfu soldiers are brought back to the city, so what?
That's all.
Liang Zhi was already middle-aged, and although he had already looked away, he was not willing to let him accompany Yulin City to die cowardly. Even if he was going to die, he would have to kill him to turn the world upside down.
The scouts came back one after another, and the news was surprisingly unanimous. Tie Moller was afraid that no less than 300,000 troops were heading south. Yulin City was still there, but Tie Molec's army did not attack the city, but bypassed Yulin and headed straight for Mayi.
Nangong Shou looked at Liu Liangrui, then turned to look at the two governors of Yulin and Dingxiang, and saw the three of them bowing at the same time, "It all depends on the general's decision!"
Nangong Shou unfolded the terrain map, frowned in thought, and then looked at the crowd and said: "Yulin and Dingxiang cannot be defended. We are afraid that we will not be able to stir up even a splash in a field battle with Tie Mo Le! So I decided to withdraw the large forces quickly.
Mayi City, at the same time gather the people along the road and send people to notify the Yanmen Pass guard general!"
Seeing everyone in the tent nodding, Nangong Shou stood up and ordered: "Dingxiang Governor Lu Dahu listened to the order and quickly led the large troops back to Mayi City, gathering people and supplies along the way. Yulin Governor Liang Zhicheng listened to the order and quickly went to Yanmen Pass to inform the enemy.
Luo Bao listens to the order, and all members of the scout team are constantly monitoring the enemy's movements. Red Lady listens to the order, and your troops are good at riding and shooting, and cooperate with Luo Bao to remove Tie Moller's scouts."
Everyone followed the order and left. Nangong Shou looked at Liu Liangrui and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Liu, it seems that this test is not easy to pass!"
Liu Liangrui pointed to Mayi County on the topographic map and said: "Master, do you think seven thousand people can defend it?"
Nangong Shou shook his head and said: "I don't know! Just do your best to obey fate! But even if you can't hold on, you have to delay for a while, at least buy some more time for Da Gan!"
Liu Liangrui looked at the city of Mayi on the topographical map and said: "Xun Liang was indeed foresighted in his work. Over the years, he concentrated all the food in Mayi, and also heightened and strengthened the city wall. A few days ago, the old man also sent a batch of strong crossbows.
I think as long as the young master can’t hold on, Tie Mo Le won’t be able to capture the city of Mayi for a while!”
Nangong Shou thought for a while and said: "Uncle Liu, do you think it would be better for the Red Lady's two thousand cavalry to be placed outside the city or inside the city? I can't decide for the moment!"
At this moment, the red lady opened the curtain and entered the tent: "If you put my Tuva cavalry in a bird cage, wouldn't that mean you have to tie your hands!"
Nangong Shou said with a smile: "If you have any insights from Kanas, please tell me quickly."
The red lady smiled and said: "It's not a good idea! Hide two thousand cavalry in Leitou Mountain, and when the time comes, we will use three loud arrows as a signal..."
Liu Liangrui nodded and praised: "It's a good idea. Even if we can't hold it in the end, maybe we can get out of the city and hide in Leitou Mountain if we cooperate inside and outside."
Nangong Shou stood up and said: "That's it, Kanas, you must pay attention to safety, and don't act rashly. You must use the sound of arrows as your signal!"
But the red lady smiled and said: "Who said I have to go to the end of the mountain? I have to accompany my husband to do it! Don't you say that if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken? If you marry a dog, follow the dog!"
Nangong Shou said: "If you don't go, who can shake those two thousand cavalry?"
The red lady winked and smiled: "You and I are in the city so there won't be any trouble. And when the time comes, I will tell the tribe that I already have a baby in my belly!"
Liu Liangrui had just taken a sip of milk tea, and when he heard the red lady's words, he burst out laughing...
But I saw Nangong Shou said very seriously: "You haven't worshiped heaven and earth yet, and you don't have a child from the bridal chamber, so don't talk nonsense and make people laugh!"
The red lady was not shy, but hugged Nangong Shou’s arm and giggled...
Outside the camp, Nangong Shou watched the large army slowly move away until it disappeared from sight. Then he turned his horse's head and Red Lady led two thousand light cavalry towards Yulin...
When Nangong Shou saw the dust and smoke in the sky and saw the iron cavalry of Ganren coming, he discovered one thing. Tiemolele's army did not send any scouts to explore the road. Was it because they did not take Ganren seriously, or was this vanguard commander? The officer is a guy who doesn't know how to march and fight, so he is not afraid of being ambushed.
The Tiemo Le clan has been fighting, and their combat experience is much richer than that of Ganren. How could they make such a low-level mistake? This is obviously impossible. Nangong Shou frowned deeply, watching the alien army approaching little by little...
Luo Bao's scout team obviously discovered this, so they rode close to the Tiemolese cavalry forward. At the closest point, they were less than 200 steps away from the Tiemoles. This was a very dangerous distance, because 200 steps had already been reached. Within the range of the opponent's sharpshooting attack.
The Temole people seemed not to have seen Luo Bao's scouting team. They did not send troops to drive them away, nor did they shoot a single feather arrow. They regarded the dozens of cavalry in front of them as nothing, and even the two thousand cavalrymen of the Tuva tribe in the distance who were eyeing them eagerly did not notice. Don't take it into consideration.
Temole's 5,000-man vanguard cavalry is the vanguard of Ili Khan's 20,000 tiger division. Temole's three tiger division troops are the most elite troops of the Temole people. They are not only brave and good at fighting, but also The equipment is better than the sixteen in Daxing City, even worse.
Leading this vanguard cavalry was Bach, the first warrior under Ili Khan. Bach followed Ili Khan at the age of fifteen. It can be said that his growth directly witnessed Tie Moller's unification of Mobei and the grassland, and he fought no less than a hundred battles in half his life. .This is a warrior who grew up in blood and fire. In his eyes, the soldiers of Da Gan are no different from the weak tribes on the grassland, they are just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
As the pioneer of Temole, Bach was given an order by Ili Khan to rush to Yanmen Pass as soon as possible. Therefore, Bach didn't care at all about the flies surrounding the troops. As long as they did not take the initiative to attack, they were willing to do whatever they wanted. Go ahead and mess around.
