The defeated troops of Hou Jin were relying on their superior strength to besiege a local division of Zhou Dynasty.
This is Qingzhou. Dengzhou County garrison troops went to Jinyang King Qin, stopping and going all the way from Qingzhou to Jizhou. As soon as they arrived in Jizhou, they heard that Yang Qingyuan defeated Hou Jin's main army at the foot of Jinyang City, so he did not
Go west again, then turn north.
Fight all the way from Jizhou to Youzhou.
The original second-line preparation army has also experienced wars along the way, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
Its chief general is Qi Yuanjing, the former guard general of Sanshui Pass.
This man was valued by Yanyi and Yang Qingyuan, and he had made outstanding achievements. Due to his meritorious service, he was promoted to command the Qianshi of Dengzhou County and was promoted to the fourth rank.
Of course, this does not mean that this genuine fourth-grade product is so extraordinary.
Since the early Tang Dynasty, civil and military affairs have been divided, and civil servants and military generals have become distinct, and there is no longer a saying about generals and ministers.
As far as the Great Zhou Dynasty is concerned, the fourth-grade military generals can only be regarded as mid- to high-level generals in the military general sequence.
For example, Yang Ning's General Zhongwu and Cao Xueyang's previous General Xuanwei were both of the fourth grade.
Among the military generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, those who really belong to the senior generals are the five major governors of the Five Army Commandery Mansion.
and an official position equivalent to deputy governor in the Five Armies.
This type of official position belongs to the third rank or above in the official rank of the Zhou Dynasty.
The official position of commander of Dengzhou County was not high among the generals of the Zhou Dynasty.
The reason is that Qi Yuanjing's starting point was too low. When he and Yang Qingyuan first met, they were just inspecting Sanshui Pass.
Although the Sanshui Pass inspection sounds powerful, it is actually just an official position starting from the sixth rank. There are only 500 patrol battalion soldiers under his command, and he is only responsible for inspecting cargo leaving the capital.
When leaving the water gate of Shendu, the goods will be inspected for the first time, which is in charge of the Water Transport Department of the Ministry of Revenue. The units directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue can also issue a warrant for inspection.
At that time, in order to improve the efficiency of the flow of goods in and out of Shendu, once the cargo received an inspection-free warrant, Sanshui Customs would not need to inspect it again and would be released directly.
The large-scale criminal group headed by Gong Ziyu used this method to transport stolen grain from the divine capital.
In all Sanshui Pass inspections, even if he is a low-ranking military attache, there will be no problem.
This is the starting point of a military commander. If you don't have a military honor and don't have too dazzling military achievements, you can only climb up slowly.
Although the civil service system depends on seniority, if you can get the first or second place in the top ten in the imperial examination, then under normal circumstances, you can rise to the top.
Qi Yuanjing was promoted to the commander of Dengzhou County by transporting grain and quelling the rebellion.
This was an opportunity given to Qi Yuanjing by Yang Qingyuan and Yu Yanyi. Because there was no deterrence from Li Taibai, the Qingzhou coast was repeatedly attacked by Japanese pirates.
The Japanese pirates had spies near the Qingzhou navy. Once the Qingzhou navy was dispatched to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates, they would disperse.
It was the imperial court that had the idea of establishing a Japanese army.
However, before Qi Yuanjing could be attacked by the Japanese pirates, Tumubao was severely defeated, which greatly damaged the combat power of the Northern Territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and was beaten as far as Jinyang.
After Qi Yuanjing received Yu Yanyi's military order to mobilize troops to Qingqi and Qizhou, he organized his army and set off without hesitation.
Along the way, we experienced dozens of battles, large and small.
There were originally 7,000 troops, but now there were only 5,000 left.
Of course, there were also many gains. A total of 2,800 enemies were killed, and 1,300 horses were captured.
Qi Yuanjing led his army northward, but eventually ran into trouble.
The original stragglers were gathered by Hou Jin's generals, and more than 9,000 cavalry besieged Qi Yuanjing's troops.
Qi Yuanjing's troops were originally the Japanese troops prepared for the Great Zhou Dynasty, a standard second-line force.
The equipment was far inferior to that of the five main field armies, there were only 300 cavalry, and the quality of the soldiers was average. If it weren't for Qi Yuanjing's ability in training troops, they would have been scattered in the face of the fierce Houjin Mohe cavalry.
Even when faced with the siege of the fierce Houjin cavalry, Qi Yuanjing still had a face as calm as a lake, his expression remained unchanged, he clenched the long sword in his hand, and his command was determined.
The entire military formation, under the command of Qi Yuanjing, constantly resisted the impact of Hou Jin's cavalry.
The battle between the two sides has lasted for two hours. Although the Japanese troops in Togju Prep suffered heavy casualties, there was still no sign of collapse.
On the contrary, the commander of the Houjin Cavalry became increasingly anxious.
These more than 9,000 cavalrymen were not originally directly under his command. Half of them were scattered troops he gathered from various places and defeated them.
The reason for attacking Qi Yuanjing's headquarters was firstly to defeat the Zhou army and establish prestige; secondly to seize grain and grass.
Originally, the commander of the Hou Jin Cavalry thought that using cavalry against infantry would just crush the situation, but now it is just Xiaoyou.
As we all know, Xiaoyou is not considered excellent. And time is still on Zhou Jun's side.
Now the Zhou army in Youzhou has begun to counterattack under the command of King Zhao, and the main force of the Zhou army in Jinyang City has also begun to pursue them all the way. Reinforcements from the Zhou army may come at some point.
Just when the cavalry commander was hesitating, a scout came flying from a distance, followed by a slight tremor on the ground.
As an experienced cavalryman, Houjin’s cavalry commander knew exactly what this tremor was?!
There is a cavalry attack!
And only if the number of people is more than 5,000, there will be such a tremor.
At the corner of the hillside in the distance, smoke and dust rose, and then a Zhou army battle flag with the word "Yang" appeared in the eyes of the queens and golden cavalry.
Not only the Hou Jin Dynasty, but also the Japanese army in Dengzhou also saw the familiar battle flag of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The morale of the Beiwa army, which originally relied on willpower and military discipline to hold on, was greatly boosted.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
"Brothers! Kill these idiots."
Compared with the cheering of the troops, Qi Yuanjing remained expressionless and commanded calmly.
He who is not arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat, and whose heart is filled with thunder and his face is like a flat lake, can worship the general.
Qi Yuanjing has begun to look like a general.
The cavalry supporting them from a distance gradually accelerated and charged towards the main formation of the Houjin Cavalry.
The young general at the head was holding a blood-red spear and wearing Cangming treasure armor.
It was Yang Guo, General Piao Yao, and his Tabai camp.
"Commanders, follow me to break through the enemy's formation!"
After experiencing Yang Qingyuan's horse-riding army, Yang Guo's tactical level and strategic vision have also been greatly improved, and his martial arts has also made breakthroughs.
At this time, they led the elite cavalry directly towards the main formation of Houjin Cavalry.
When Yang Guo's cavalry appeared, Hou Jin's cavalry commander immediately reduced its defense and withdrew half of the troops and horses that attacked Dengzhou Preparatory Japanese Army.
But this arrangement did not scare Yang Guo.
In his eyes, Hou Jin's cavalry formation was full of flaws and would fall apart as soon as it charged.
Seeing the menacing and galloping Yang Guo, Houjin Cavalry bravely shouted loudly, "Who is coming?!"
It seems that this sound can make him more courageous.
But unfortunately, Yang Guo did not answer him directly.
"Those who are about to die need not ask any more questions."
The bloody dragon gall in his palm seemed to turn into a long bloody dragon when Yang Guo waved it.
In an instant, the Tabai camp broke through the rear cavalry formation without any hindrance.
Yang Guo and Hou Jin's cavalry commander passed by each other. Without any delay, they continued to charge forward. There was a drop of blood on the bloody gun of Hao Gendan.
The cavalry commander of Hou Jin fell off his horse, and there was a big hole in his chest.
In just two quarters of an hour, the Houjin cavalry who were still besieging Dengzhou in preparation for the Japanese army and showing off their power had been killed and fled in all directions.
Yang Guo led his army to pursue and kill him for a long time before leading his troops back.
"Qi Yuanjing, the commander of the Japanese army in Dengzhou, would like to thank the general for the rescue!"
Qi Yuanjing held the slender sword on his waist and saluted Yang Guo.
When Yang Guo heard this, his eyes lit up, "Qi Yuanjing?! But General Qi Yuanjing, the former Sanshui Pass inspector!?"
Qi Yuanjing was stunned when he heard this. Not many people knew about his duties as an inspection officer at Sanshui Pass.
It's not that this position is so secretive, but it's so inconspicuous that only the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Commander's Office will know about it.
"I am Yang Guo, a disciple of Marquis Wuxiang!"
For Yang Guo, what he was most proud of was never the young talents of the Great Zhou Army, nor General Piao Yao, but that he was Yang Qingyuan's disciple.
"It turns out it was General Piao Yao who was in person!"
Of course Qi Yuanjing has heard of Yang Guo's name. If Yang Qingyuan, a civil servant, is now the number one invisible person in the Zhou army.
Then Yang Guo is the most outstanding one among the younger generation in the army, bar none.
Whether it was the Battle of the North or the Battle of Jinyang, Yang Guo performed extremely well.
"I also met General Qi in Jizhou back then!"
When Yang Qingyuan was providing disaster relief in Jizhou, Qi Yuanjing was one of the generals responsible for escorting grain and grass. Yang Guo had met Qi Yuanjing from a distance, but had no direct conversation.
Yang Guo was a disciple of Yang Qingyuan, and Qi Yuanjing was technically a disciple of Yang Qingyuan. He had the military position he had today, not only due to his own merits, but also thanks to Yang Qingyuan's recommendation, and he was considered a member of Yang Qingyuan's line.
Strictly speaking, the two of them are considered their own people.
"Thank you so much to General Xiao Yang for saving me today! General Xiao Yang defeated the Houjin Cavalry formation with just one charge. This kind of military skill is already a bit like that of Marquis Yang!"
Even though Yang Guo was thick-skinned, he was a little embarrassed to be praised!
"General Qi is so complimentary! In fact, even without me today, most of these Houjin cavalry would be helpless against General Qi. I just watched the Dengzhou Army's formation. Although it was damaged, it is still as solid as a rock. I guess if we fight for a while,
After these, the golden cavalry will automatically retreat!"
Yang Guo's words made Qi Yuanjing even more emotional. This young general really had a sharp vision and analyzed the battle situation just now accurately.
"General Qi, I'll leave this place to you! My light cavalry still needs to chase down the remaining enemies! The Qi army can join forces with General Qin's main force in the rear!"
After the two sides said goodbye, Yang Guo got on his horse and led Tabai Camp northward, leaving behind a trail of smoke and dust.
Looking at Tabaiying going away, Qi Yuanjing's eyes were full of envy.
After the Battle of Jinyang, Youlongqi and Tabaiying became famous all over the world.
Yang Qingyuan led these two troops and penetrated the defense line of Hou Jin's 300,000-strong army head-on.
Looking at the Tabai Camp retreating in the distance, Qi Yuanjing secretly swore that one day, he would also train such a powerful army that could dominate the world.
…
----------------------------------
The white grass and yellow sand are all different colors in the wild, and the world is full of sorrow and hatred in ancient and modern times.
The vast yellow sand sky is thousands of miles away, and the road ahead is long and full of journeys.
Going northwest out of the Yunzhong Protectorate, the scenery in the eyes of Yang Qingyuan and his party looked like this.
Although he had a general direction, Yang Qingyuan still didn't know the specific location of Zhenhu City, so he could only head northwest.
Everyone was riding camels, except Yang Qingyuan, who was riding a yellow horse.
"Master! Is this my master's wife?!" Zhao Min rode a camel to Yang Qingyuan and asked in a low voice.
Yang Qingyuan looked a little embarrassed, even though the yellow sand was blowing, the wind was blowing, and Zhao Min's voice was very quiet.
But for Liu Wangshu in the Dongxuan realm, as long as she wants to listen, it is no different from talking in her ear.
"Kid, don't ask so much!"
Facing Yang Qingyuan's prevarication, Zhao Min was obviously unwilling to give in.
"Then let me change the question. Do you like Sister Liu more or Sister Xueyang more?"
Zhao Min is a master of Gonghuo!
"..."
Yang Qingyuan suddenly seemed to hang up Zhao Min, his apprentice, and beat him!
What kind of questions are these?
Isn’t this provoking trouble?!
But Yang Qingyuan could notice the look of expectation in Liu Wangshu's eyes.
"Wangshu and I know each other like my wings!"
Yes, Wangshu is my wing, Mr. Yang!
If you want to ask Cao Xueyang, just ask, she also has wings.
Who stipulates that a person can only have one pair of wings!?
After hearing Yang Qingyuan's answer, Liu Wangshu's jade cheeks turned red. Fortunately, her bamboo hat hid her face, and no one except Yang Qingyuan noticed her abnormal expression.
Zhao Min obviously didn't want Yang Qingyuan to get through so easily, and the cunning look in his beautiful eyes flashed away.
"Master, I see Sister Mingzhu and Daochang Li, they have such good figures!!" Zhao Min has been eating beef and mutton and drinking the milk of cows and goats since he was a child, so although he is young, his scale is not inferior to that of Liu Wangshu.
But compared with Madam Mingzhu and Li Mochou, they seem to pale in comparison.
Crush the game!
"..."
It's not easy for Yang Qingyuan to answer this! It doesn't matter to Mrs. Mingzhu.
Li Mochou accidentally shot a silver needle of ice and soul!
"Then Master, do you like the small one or the big one!?"
"?"
Yang Qingyuan was confused on the spot!
Do you know what you are talking about?!
This style of painting is really weird! My own apprentice is actually talking about this kind of topic with me.
Think of him, Yang Qingyuan, governing the world, stabilizing public security, controlling Qianyuan in the north, and pacifying Baiyue in the south. What storms and waves have he not seen?!
But one thing is for sure, he has never encountered this scene before!
Mr. Zhao! Are you seriously ill?
But Zhao Min was obviously unwilling to let Yang Qingyuan go like this.
"Master! Just tell me! Please!"
"..." Yang Qingyuan is obviously not the kind of person who can be treated as if nothing happened after being teased. The situation must be restored.
Just when Zhao Min thought she had a plan, a clear answer came to her ears clearly.
"Snow-capped mountains and jade peaks are certainly steep and towering, but the undulating hills are also graceful and graceful. Both are loved by the teacher!"
Even with Liu Wangshu's martial arts, it was impossible to overhear the contents.
As soon as Yang Qingyuan finished transmitting the message, he connected the points in the air with his right hand and used the Dao Sect's Tiangang acupuncture method to cut off the pulse, sealing Zhao Min's acupuncture points, making her speechless.
Let you have fun with me?! I can’t cure you?!
Yang Qingyuan smiled reservedly and continued to move forward.
