In Xiangzhou County, under the rule of Longnan Prefecture, there is a small city called Xigu.
Xigu County is just to the west of Longnan Prefecture, not far away from the place where the Yun and Xia armies are currently fighting. But because Longnan Prefecture, with a large army garrisoned, is blocking the front, the city here has always been
Not affected by war.
The people in the city were still working as usual, and the soldiers guarding the city were slightly scattered and unprepared. No matter how you looked at it, there was no sign of an approaching war.
At this moment, the city guard who had been looking a little lazy on the city wall suddenly looked at the dust rising in the distance, narrowed his eyes slightly, and subconsciously asked the man next to him:
"What is that?"
After hearing this, several soldiers followed the man's line of sight and looked into the distance.
Then I saw dust flying in the distance, as if there were thousands of troops marching in. If I listened carefully, I could still hear the sound of the marching army.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and suddenly heard someone asking in panic:
"Did Xia's army take a detour and try to attack our army's retreat?"
The soldier originally wanted to ask others, but when all the soldiers saw such movement at this time, they felt uneasy and were like frightened birds.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone suddenly lost their sense of proportion and exclaimed:
"What, the Xia army is attacking?"
"Xia Jun is coming to kill?"
"Xia Jun is coming! No, run!"
Suddenly, the soldiers on the city wall were in chaos.
Some people stood tremblingly at a loss, while others screamed and started to encourage people around them to run away together, creating a scene of chaos.
Nowadays, the battle in Longnan Prefecture is fierce. Cheng Bushi, the general who conquered the north, has only 30,000 to 40,000 troops, but he has to fight fiercely with the Xia Army's 60,000 elite troops. The strength of the troops is extremely tight.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible to arrange elite Yun troops to guard a city like Xigu County that is not a strategic location!
These soldiers in front of us are actually the militiamen organized by Xiangzhou County to maintain order and law in the county when the local officials of Xia Kingdom were expelled and the villagers were self-governing.
These people have not been eliminated, are old and weak, and have not been trained for a long time. They are worse than the local county soldiers of Yun State. In the past, maintaining order was okay, but if it is a war, then don't think about it!
Such a movement naturally alerted the captain who was guarding the city.
The captain who hurried over saw the chaotic scene in front of him, and a cold look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Without saying a word, he pulled out the sword from his waist and struck it with a "puff" sound. A soldier who encouraged others to escape suddenly stopped talking and fell to the ground with blood flowing from his chest.
"Those who confuse the morale of the army will die!" The captain's eyes were sharp and filled with murderous intent, and he looked around at the crowd coldly and said.
On top of the city wall, all the soldiers felt a chill in their hearts and froze subconsciously.
The military strength was tight, and it was difficult for Cheng Bushi to arrange for his elite troops to be stationed in certain places. However, in order to ensure the control of Dayun's new territory of Xiangzhou and County, he still arranged some Yun troops in each place to control and control these local troops.
horse.
At this time, there were dozens of soldiers who followed the defenders. Although their armors and weapons were no different from those of the other soldiers, they all had a chilling aura and their eyes were so sharp that no one dared to look directly at them.
Anyone can tell the difference between these people and the other city defenders at a glance!
"Immediately close the city gates, rectify the troops and horses, and send out fast horses to report back to the commander-in-chief Xigu County's military situation!"
"yes!"
Behind the captain, dozens of elite Yun soldiers immediately stepped forward and began to straighten the order on the city wall, closing the city gates and preparing to face the enemy.
Now that people are restoring order, the city wall is no longer as chaotic as before. But as the soldiers and horses in the distance get closer and closer, the atmosphere on the city wall becomes more and more tense and solemn.
At this moment, someone suddenly pointed at the soldiers and horses in front and exclaimed:
"Captain, look, those seem to be our soldiers and horses..."
When the guard captain heard this, he was stunned and quickly looked into the distance.
The soldiers and horses before were shrouded in the dust raised during the march, and the flags and armors looked hazy and could not be seen clearly.
But at this time, as the troops and horses got closer and closer to Xigu County, the Yunlong flag among the army, as well as the armor made by Yun State, became gradually clearer.
At a glance, they are the soldiers and horses of the Yun Kingdom!
The guard captain was stunned for a while, then he breathed a sigh of relief and murmured:
"Let me just say, unless the Xia Army flew over, how could they appear in the southwest of our Xigu County... But it's strange. Are there any soldiers and horses of our army left in the southwest of us?"
Yun Jun on the side heard this and couldn't help but said:
"Perhaps, it is the troops that the marshal had arranged to guard against Tibet. Now that the situation on the front line is tense, they have been brought back!"
The city guard captain nodded, pondered for a while and said:
"First send someone to ask and verify the opponent's command flag. But also ask your subordinates not to relax and continue to prepare rocks, rolling wood and arrows, just in case!"
"yes!"
After a while, several hanging baskets descended from the city wall of Xigu County. Several soldiers jumped off the hanging baskets and ran towards the direction of the soldiers and horses in the distance.
After a while, the messenger must have seen the leader of the troops and horses on the opposite side. The troops and horses that were marching stopped a few miles away from Xigu County.
About half an hour later, several soldiers who had been sent to the opposite army ran back quickly.
Several soldiers returned to the guard captain, holding a small silver seal with a tiger head, and replied:
"Captain, I asked clearly. They are indeed our troops! General Zhao Yun of the Yi Army, following the orders of Lord Zhuge, the Fang Si Lang of the Ministry of War, led the army to detour to Yinping. Being trapped in men and horses, he wanted to come to my Xigu County for a day of repairs.
They have military orders with them and are unable to disclose the details, so they have to use the silver seal of a general to prove their identity!"
When the guard captain heard this, he was stunned and said in shock:
"Coming from the underworld? Is it true or false?"
The dangers of Yinping Road are beyond the reach of ordinary people, and no one has ever thought of the army marching from there. When he heard that the army on the opposite side came from Yinping Road, he naturally showed a look of disbelief.
.
The captain of the garrison quickly took the tiger head silver seal brought by his subordinates. When he turned it over, he saw that on the silver seal were engraved the four characters "General Yijun". It was evident that he could only wear it if he was a titled general of the Yun Kingdom.
Tiger head silver seal.
"It's actually true?" the guard captain said to himself in disbelief.
Zhao Yun, the general of the Yi Army, had previously single-handedly charged into the camp of Buri Province in Le Chao. In the end, without using a single soldier, he deceived the navy of Le Chao West Route into giving up resistance. With such a prestigious reputation, even among the army of Xiangzhou County in the southwest, he was also
It's something I've heard.
Looking at the silver seal in his hand, the guard captain immediately stopped hesitating and said loudly to his men:
"Open the city gate and welcome my army! I sent someone to ask the county magistrate for instructions, please transfer the grain and grass from the county government warehouse for military use. I will report it to the camp in the future and repay it with gold, silver and materials!"
"yes!"--
Longnan Prefecture, in the military camp of the army.
Cheng Bushi looked at the detailed military report sent from Xigu County and the secret letter sent by Zhao Yun. No matter how calm his temper was, he couldn't help but show a hint of shock at this time.
Looking at the Wudang Feijun general standing in the tent with a tired look on his face, Cheng Bushi couldn't help but say:
"The Yinping Trail is rugged and difficult to navigate. Only the local mountain people and advanced warriors dare to travel from there. Wait, how did you get over it?"
Standing in the tent was this unworthy general of the flying army. He was slightly short in stature and dark-skinned. He spoke the Mandarin with the unique accent of the Nanjun tribe people and said proudly:
"General, I am not a flying army when I return to conquer the north. I am an elite selected and carefully trained by your majesty from all the tribesmen in Nanjun. They are all good at running in the mountains. I have been given the title of 'Flying Army'!"
When Cheng Bushi heard the words, he nodded clearly and said in a deep voice:
"I already know Lord Zhuge's clever strategy. The Xia army has deployed heavy troops to defend us in the south direction of Longnan in order to guard the Xia army's retreat in Jiangyang County. After your army has completed its repairs in Xigu County, if you can bypass Yinping and go to Guangyuan Prefecture,
North, take advantage of the Xia army's best troops to capture Xingyuan Mansion, then the Xia army will no longer be able to disturb our Xiangzhou and Jiangyang counties!"
After saying that, Cheng Bushi immediately shouted loudly:
"Send the order!"
All the generals in the tent, as well as the civilian officials in the army, all bowed and saluted with clasped fists, waiting for Cheng Bushi's instructions.
"The General Yi Army's headquarters is short of all supplies, including war horses, armor, crossbows, and weapons. We will allocate them from our own operations to make up for them and deliver them to Xigu County as soon as possible!"
The Yinping trail was rugged and difficult to navigate. In order to cross over, the Wudang Feijun abandoned their horses. They also left behind many armors and weapons on the road due to the difficulty of traveling.
Fortunately, Cheng Bushi's camp had a lot of various supplies accumulated, and there was no shortage of war horses in Xiangzhou, which was enough to make up for all the supplies that Zhao Yun's department lacked.
"Yes!" the quartermaster responded immediately.
Cheng Bushi paused and said loudly:
"I remember that the 800 cavalrymen led by Jiang Wei are still lingering near the Jinniu Road. Send an order and temporarily assign them to General Yijun to take orders!"
Having said this, Cheng Bushi looked at the general from the Nanjun tribe, shook his head and said:
"Sixty thousand Xia troops are coming, and I don't have enough troops. The pressure on Longnan Mansion is not small, so now that's all I can do!"
When the general heard this, he looked grateful and quickly said:
"The final general is waiting for General Yijun, and there are many robes. Thank you General Zhengbei for your help!"——
Daying of Longnan Prefecture is very close to Xigu County, only half a day's journey away.
And under Cheng Bushi's personal instructions, the army did not dare to neglect. All the horses, supplies, and ordnance were transported to Xigu County overnight, and finally they were delivered in time before Zhao Yun's troops broke camp on the next day.
arrive.
After a day of good repairs and the missing cavalry and armor, the morale of the three thousand Wudang Flying Army was even higher. Under the leadership of Zhao Yun, they once again used the Yinping Trail to head towards Xia Guoxingyuan, north of Guangyuan Mansion.
Advance to the government.
The Yinping Road is still rugged and difficult to navigate, but compared to the Motian Ridge before, it is already much better.
Along the way, Zhao Yun suppressed his usual love for his soldiers and ordered a forced march. It took him six days to break through the Xia Army's seven heavy troops and arrived directly at the Yangping Pass of Xingyuan Prefecture.
Yangping Pass is currently the most difficult fortress on the southwest defense line of the Xia Army. It is surrounded by Chencang on the right, the Jinniu Pass on the left, hundreds of meters of clouds and mist on the left, and is surrounded by water belts. It can be said to be the most dangerous place in the world.
.
As long as this place is captured, the 100,000 elite Xia troops that invade the southwest will immediately be in trouble. Moreover, the southwest defense line that the Xia Kingdom relies on will also completely collapse!
Looking at the towering Yangpingguan city wall in front of him and the Xia Jun who could see the panic and shock on it, Zhao Yun's eyes became even sharper.
Glancing at the murderous soldiers behind him, Zhao Yun pointed his spear at an angle and shouted coldly:
"kill!"
"Kill!" The sound of violent shouting immediately sounded.
Murderous aura billowed into the sky, causing a faint tremor between heaven and earth.
The vision condensed, and a blood-colored light rose into the sky. Suddenly, dark clouds covered it, and there was an imminent storm. Amidst the thunderous roar, a strange beast with a body like a cow, no horns on its head, and only one hoof appeared.
, accompanied by the brilliance of the sun and the moon, shining dazzlingly.
Kui Niu and strange beasts gather together!
At this time, above Yangping Pass, a group of garrison Xia troops looked at the sudden attack of Yun troops, their whole bodies trembling, and their faces full of fear.
"The Yun Army is here? The frontline army has been defeated! The frontline army has been defeated!"
Among the soldiers, someone suddenly let out a hurried shout. Then immediately, shouts were heard from all over the army, saying that the Yun army was attacking and that the front line army had been defeated.
Immediately, the morale of the Xia army was shaken.
The Yun army is now stretched thin, but the Xia Kingdom is obviously no better off. Especially Anshun County, which sent 100,000 troops to attack two counties separately, is even less powerful.
The officers and soldiers of the Xia army currently stationed at Yangping Pass are actually the former rebels of Hao Yuanhua, who was recruited by the Xia Kingdom!
These rebel armies just took advantage of the situation, and in terms of elite soldiers, they were comparable to the local county soldiers of Xia State. Even before the elite Xia army entered the garrison, Jiang Wei led hundreds of people and almost defeated Yangping Pass.
Attack with force.
These soldiers and horses, who were originally inferior to the Yun army in combat power, were now swayed by the rumors. Their morale was no longer stable, and their morale was unstable. It was even more difficult to resist. The Wudang Fei army was no more than a round of arrows, and these soldiers were thrown into chaos.
They even pushed each other and got trampled.
Hao Yuanhua, who had previously surrendered to the Xia Kingdom and was given a knighthood, led his soldiers and hurried to the city wall. Hearing the shouts of "the frontline army has been defeated" rang out from all around, his eyes widened and he roared angrily:
"Don't shout! Don't shout... Damn it, there must be spies from the Yun Kingdom in the army who are disturbing the morale of our army! Anyone who shouts again will be killed!"
After all, Hao Yuanhua was also a hero who had taken advantage of the situation. At this moment, hearing the tacit understanding and shouting coming from all around, he suddenly understood that it must be Yun Guo's sticking point, and Dongchang was secretly causing trouble.
Hao Yuanhua ordered his personal guards to dispatch and kill those who disturbed the morale of the army, hoping to temporarily stabilize the morale and morale of the army.
But unfortunately, by the time he appeared, it was already too late!
Yang Zaixing grabbed a spear and threw it with all his strength. The spear moved quickly, like a meteor piercing the sky. There was only a "bang" sound of explosion, and it was nailed to the city wall.
Yang Zaixing once again grabbed a spear casually, stepped on it hard, and stood up. He used his strength on the spear, and jumped up to a height of more than 20 feet under the horrifying eyes of the Xia army.
On top of the Yangpingguan city wall.
"Stop him! Stop him quickly!" Hao Yuanhua shouted quickly.
There were also loyal and brave people among the Xia army guarding the pass. At this time, they saw Yang Zaixing jumping on the city wall alone, and immediately surrounded and killed him.
Yang Zaixing laughed ferociously and was about to take action when suddenly there was a loud shout that echoed across the battlefield!
"Anti-Scale Mad Dragon Roar!"
The white mist lingered upwards, condensed, and turned into a white dragon, roaring.
Before all the Xia soldiers could react, they were suddenly shaken and flew away.
At this time, Xiao Cheng, who was far away in Zhongqing City, suddenly had the golden finger panel appear before his eyes.
[General Zhao Yun of the Yi Army, activates the exclusive skill: Anti-Scale Mad Dragon Roar, attacks the enemy *4]
