Beishanguan, the garrison camp, with tens of thousands of blazing torches, illuminated the snow-colored night sky like daylight.
Outside the camp, there were 30,000 Beishan Guard cavalry, wearing bright white clothes and silver armor, holding high flags with the Chinese character "Luo" written in big letters, and lined up neatly. As everyone knows, the North Country's Spike Cavalry has a bow string of only ten thousand.
There are over 10,000 enemies. The Beishan Guards, on the other hand, have less than 10,000 horses and cannot fight against 10,000 enemies. Among the light cavalry of the Great Qin Empire, the Beishan Guards are uniquely brave and invincible.
Among the 30,000 Beishan Guard cavalry, there are just over 10,000 war horses. This is all the wealth that Beishan King Luo Cheng has gained in the past five years by tightening his belt and picking meat through his teeth.
Roda, the general guarding the gate and conquering the north, rode on that big black horse with great majesty. He no longer had the energy to flatter him just now, but looked solemnly at the majestic and ruthless snow-capped mountains below.
Soon, a line of fire shot up from the bottom of the mountain, followed by more fire lights rising into the sky like fish and dragons dancing at night.
Not long after, the scouts from the front came to report that the imperial team had arrived at Beishan Town and was preparing to go up to Beishanguan. The Dingyuan Guards of Marquis Dingyuan were about to arrive at Beishanguan.
The sound of horse hoofbeats quickly shattered the tranquility of Beishan.
Amidst the roar of the mountains and the roar of the forest, the snowbirds and mountain birds hiding in the forest all over the sky were suddenly startled. Their chirping screams, accompanied by bursts of horses' neighing, made the mountain wind even more like a tiger's.
In the camp, the king of Beishan, Luo Cheng, was wearing the golden battle armor given by the late emperor. He was holding the broken knife with one arm. He turned his head to the clouded leopard, the leopard and the golden leopard and said with a smile, "Zhong Zhenshan, this kid, still knows the color of fire and has no secrets."
He brought all the 50,000 Dingyuan Guards over.
Clouded Leopard Han Jiang nodded and said solemnly, if he dares to hide his secrets, you are not allowed to pluck out his skin. Besides, the emperor accepts his destiny to be the commander. He will bear the brunt of rewards based on his merits and deeds, and he will be punished.
He can't escape either. Instead of hiding his secrets, it's better to expose them openly.
Huabao Jiang Shan pursed his lips and said, "Let him take charge of Beishan Guard, Dingyuan Guard and Tiger and Leopard Army independently this time. Except for his Dingyuan Guard, who is easy to get along with? The strong dragon can't overpower the local snake. He
If he doesn't know anything else, he may not be able to sit safely in the army's tent.
Qian Yu, the golden leopard, saw that he was talking without thinking, and immediately retorted that he was just a ball. Without the support of the prince, his Dingshan guards alone could not even defeat the Wolf Ya's front army. Don't forget that tiger
The Hu Baozi of the Leopard Army has always been a thorn.
Luo Cheng frowned slightly. The Tiger and Leopard Army is really a headache. If we say that they only fight with light equipment, they naturally cannot compare with the Beishan Guards. But if we talk about the heavy cavalry and infantry, Luo Da's so-called Mo Dao
The team is simply not good enough in front of this kind of heavy cavalry.
In fact, in the early years when Luo Cheng was under the command of King Qin Shan of Qin, the Beishan Guards were the light cavalry in the Tiger and Leopard Army. After the King of Qin died in battle, they branched off from the Tiger and Leopard Army and garrisoned Beishanguan.
The elite troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army are heavily armored cavalry. They are not many in number, mostly around 5,000, but they are the first-class warriors and first-class heavy equipment of the Qin Empire.
War horses and cavalry wear chain mails with fish scales integrated into helmets and armor, carry heavy black iron shields in their hands, carry long tassels and armor-piercing hook guns on their backs, and hang horse-cutting swords about five feet long on their waists. Everyone in the former army wears a strange helmet.
The heavy infantrymen with knives opened the way, and behind them were the bowstringers who could pull the ten-stone bow. Once they charged, they were like a heavy steel Great Wall, killing horses at sight, killing people at sight, beheading generals and seizing flags, and pushing them flatly.
In the past, most of the people were lying on their backs, leaving no corpses. Northern Langya once said that if the tiger and leopard army did not exceed a thousand, if the tiger and leopard army exceeded a thousand, ten thousand would be killed. If the tiger and leopard army exceeded 10,000, there would be no bitter battles in the world. This shows its ferocity.
This Hu Baozi was born in the Lushan Han Dynasty. He is as majestic as a bear, and his face is as black as coal. His hands can lift a thousand catties, and he can shoot a ten-stone bow. He is one of the top ten killer generals in the Qin Empire, second only to Lu Zhishen, the Roaring Sky Tiger.
The ultimate master. This man is the same age as Luo Cheng, the king of Beishan.
Back then, he was devoted to following the King of Qin in Qinshan. When King Qin died in battle, he relied on the Tiger and Leopard Army to refuse to move. Otherwise, with his military exploits, he would have become a king with a different surname like Luo Cheng. At the very least, he would have been a third-grade Tiger and Leopard Marquis. But
He has been feared by the court all the year round. In addition, he has an aloof temperament and has nothing to do with the court, but he is only a fourth-rank Tiger and Leopard General.
Their official ranks are not even as high as those of the Clouded Leopards next to King Beishan, let alone General Dangmo, who was in the third rank of Xiao Tianhu.
Five years ago, the champion Hou Qin Yue did not control the Tiger and Leopard Army, but was led by King Qin Songyao of the Tiger and Leopard Army. The Tiger and Leopard Army always recognized the Talisman, not the person. Hu Bayi, who was the Tiger and Leopard General at the time, simply
Watching the battle from a distance made King Youxian at that time not dare to go even half a step beyond the six counties. Although there was an imperial edict, if the Dingyuan Marquis had not obtained the Tiger and Leopard Talisman, it would be difficult to mobilize the Hu Baozi.
Although this Hu Baozi has a low official rank, he manages the army well and has strict military laws. He is the uncrowned king of the Hu Bao Army. Even the arrogant Luo Cheng did not dare to underestimate him. After all, he almost called him that back then.
A big brother.
Luo Cheng turned to the scout captain with a serious look on his face and asked, where are the Tiger and Leopard Army?
The scout captain smiled bitterly and said, ten miles away. Hu Bayi said, no military symbols were seen, so the whole army would not move.
Han Jiang, the clouded leopard, looked as if he was convinced, and chuckled in a low voice, "This bearded leopard is a general!"
Luo Cheng turned around and walked out of the tent, looking at the fire at the bottom of the mountain, he sighed quietly and said, I hope that monkey will not cause trouble again this time.
Wu Qing, who was following him with a panicked look on his face, had a grimace on his face. He never expected that the person who came to issue the imperial decree this time was actually the Supervisor and Superintendent in charge of the Marquis Yuan. This Marquis is not that Marquis, but the Imperial Palace.
The honorific name given to him by the old geldings in Ouchi. His original name was Yuan Kui, and he was a personal eunuch in the early years when the emperor was still the prince.
Logically speaking, as the eunuch overseeing the army, he should be waiting ten miles away.
The king of Beishan, Luo Cheng, said, after all, a dog slave is a dog slave, why let him bite his nose and face. An Anxin is waiting here. He doesn't dare to eat you. I want to see how powerful this old castrated dog is.
.
Luo Cheng's words reflected the resentment of most generals in the Qin Empire towards these eunuchs.
These geldings are physically disabled and have a cruel temperament. Most of them are executioners around the emperor. Especially those in charge of the so-called daiuchi above the fifth rank, most of their subordinates are stained with the blood of many generals.
There was a burst of noise, and the figures of the Dingyuan Guards in black clothes and armor entered the field of view of the Beishan Guards. From far away, they heard the shouting voice of Dingyuan Marquis Zhong Zhenshan: Your lord, you really want me to die.
Seeing that he was the first to rush out of the old eunuch's march, Luo Cheng ran towards him and immediately responded loudly, you old man, why are you not dead yet!
Zhong Zhenshan jumped off his horse and said excitedly, "Your Majesty is still living so handsomely, how can I, a little Marquis, dare to take the first step?"
As he spoke, he blinked at him again and pouted.
Luo Cheng understood it and said even more rudely, now that you have turned over like a fool, I have become your deputy! You are so proud of your authority!
Zhong Zhenshan immediately coughed, pretending to be embarrassed, and hummed, "Haha, your majesty is wise, the old widow has been guarding her crotch for so many years, and it's time to open her meat. My lord, please bear with me!"
Following him, he deliberately turned towards Yuan Kui, the superintendent and supervisor, who walked out of the eight-carriage sedan with a gloomy look on his face, and said in a cold voice, "The prince is old, can he still eat?"
Luo Cheng immediately flicked his sleeves and cursed loudly, "You bitch can eat a bowl, but I can eat a bucket."
Yuan Kui, the superintendent and supervisor, did not know why. He raised his head and slightly cupped his hands towards Luo Cheng and said, "The old slave pays homage to the prince. After many years, the prince is still in his prime!"
When Luo Cheng saw that he was so angry, he immediately lost his temper. I am so lively and lively, I am afraid that I will disappoint some people. Why are you talking so much nonsense? I am not familiar with you. Please declare the imperial edict!
Zhong Zhenshan put his hands behind his back and secretly gave him a thumbs up. You are awesome!
Then Luo Cheng also gestured secretly, he is so talented. He has no merit at all, yet he dares to claim the title of Marquis. I think this king is here to play monkey. Is this monkey you or me?
Zhong Zhenshan immediately adjusted his clothes in silence. Seeing Yuan Kui's face turn red with anger, and seeing him take out the imperial edict, he immediately knelt down and said, "I accept the edict!"
Although Luo Cheng was only a second-class prince, he had the golden armor gifted by the late emperor. He would neither kneel before the king nor bow before the king. When Yuan Kui saw that he did not kneel down, his face became even more ugly, his eyes were ghastly and terrifying, and he was doing it to himself.
Step by step, His Majesty has already told you that the King of Beishan has achieved great results through hard work and does not need too many etiquette.
Luo Cheng rubbed his nose and face, and simply didn't even raise his hands, hehehe said, tell me earlier! My body and bones can't stand the torment. Come on, bring me a chair.
Huabao Jiangshan quickly brought him a chair and waited for him to sit down calmly.
Zhong Zhenshan suddenly looked shocked and cursed in his heart, this stupid old guy is playing too big a game! He drugged this gelding, and I will also suffer the consequences.
Yuan Kui angrily shook the imperial edict, announced it in a high-pitched voice, and immediately thrust the edict into Zhong Zhenshan's hand, not even asking for the money to run the errands. Instead, he said in a hateful voice, Mr. Hou, this Beishan
Guan Guan seems to be impregnable. I'm afraid your actions are unnecessary.
Zhong Zhenshan smiled politely and said, borrowing the good advice from his father-in-law, as the old saying goes, it is better to attack with an army. I hope I can capture the Northern cavalry without sending a single soldier. By then, I will definitely be on the sidelines with my father-in-law in Kyoto.
Dabai.
Yuan Kui hit a soft nail, turned around and took out his anger on Wu Qing, yelling and scolding, you rebellious and unfilial son, what are you doing here? Hurry up and pack up the Sa family, don't be embarrassed here.
Show your eyes.
He turned around and walked a few steps, then cupped his hands towards Luo Cheng and said, "It's a dark and windy night, please take care of yourself, Your Majesty! I can't serve you anymore because I'm old and frail."
Luo Cheng laughed loudly, shaking the flags outside the camp, "Marquis Yuan, take a rest early and have a good trip tomorrow. Beishanguan is not a place for precious people like you. It's better to go early and come back early!"
When Wu Qing saw the gods fighting and the mortal being suffering, Wu Qing suddenly felt bitter in his heart. He thought to himself, Prince, you can just get rid of this disaster, let alone invite a plague.
When Yuan Kui walked out of the barracks angrily and walked towards Wu Qing's military supervisor's house, Luo Cheng suddenly shouted an order to the Beishan Guards, "Go on, give the order, the Northern Cavalry will break through the barrier tonight, and any traitor who steals the barrier will be killed without mercy!"
Dingyuan Hou Zhong Zhenshan almost fell down. He quickly grabbed Luo Cheng's hand and said, "Why didn't I know that the Northern Kingdom's cavalry would break through tonight?"
Luo Cheng pushed his hand away and said, "You don't need to know this. After all, you haven't raised your account yet. I am still the biggest at Beishanguan."
Zhong Zhenshan said with a serious face, "Your Majesty, why do you have to play so big?"
Luo Cheng immediately spat at him and said, "You have forgotten how many of us were harmed by this castrated dog back then. This time he came to my door, and I didn't give him any color. I really thought I was a sick cat."
Zhong Zhenshan's expression changed, but he quickly gritted his teeth and said, "That's it. Since you have to do it, let's do it bigger. I'll do it so as not to dirty your hands."
The clouded leopards, leopards and golden leopards on the side were all frightened. They thought that the prince hated him, but they didn't expect that Zhongshan leopard hated him even more.
"He is trying to kill the imperial envoy!"
"How dare you be so arrogant before going into battle!"
They dare not even think about it.
But soon they realized the truth. Zhong Zhenshan was made to ride a tiger by the old prince. Whether he kills or not, he will kill him in the end. Rather than doing this, it is better to do it yourself.
Zhong Zhenshan immediately called a scout captain to his side and whispered a few words.
The captain turned around and ran down the mountain quickly.
Seeing how happy he was, Luo Cheng laughed softly and said, "Have you thought about it?"
But Zhong Zhenshan spat at him and said, you, you, you are still getting old. Either you don't do this kind of thing, or you have to eradicate it. If you just teach him a lesson, you will only let the tiger go back to the mountain.
"Haha, you kid also wants to hand a knife to that ruthless monkey?" Luo Cheng teased, pinching his nose.
Zhong Zhenshan punched Luo Cheng and chuckled in a low voice, "If you don't hand over the knife, how can I get the military talisman? That Hu Baozi has always been a master who will not let go until he sees a hawk."
"This matter will probably break the news!"
"What's wrong with breaking the sky? You and the monkey are still there to support it. I'm barefoot and afraid of wearing shoes!"
"Cunning and cunning!"
“Each other!”
"Let's go have a drink!"
"I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight! I heard that you just ate the meat of Edelweiss mountain dog! If you dare not to feed me, I will fall out with you."
"It's necessary! It's just a dog. Wu Qing has many tricks up his sleeve."
Wu Qing had no idea that he had been completely sold out by these two old foodies.
Zhong Zhenshan was stunned for a moment, then he hugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad. There is progress!"
"Do you think I'm still the stupid young man I was back then? How can I do that if I don't have a backup plan?"
"We brothers have agreed that in this battle, you will be the outsider and I will be the inside!"
"You are so beautiful!"
"I'm not enough to be your aunt!"
"Go away, you won't have any share of dog meat tonight."
"That won't work! I've been through a long and dusty journey, and it's hard work without any merit!"
"That's more than enough. I reluctantly give you a few bites! You glutton!"
"Hehehe, thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!"
...
Seeing the two of them walking shoulder to shoulder like brothers, Cloud Leopard Han Jiang asked Qian Yu the Golden Leopard in confusion, when did the prince become so good to him?
Qian Yu chuckled, from the day the big devil snatched Ye Yan's girl, she became a pair of pants.
Leopard Jiang Shan opened his mouth wide in shock, how could this be possible?
