Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 383

In Xiangzhou County, under the rule of Longnan Prefecture, there is a small city named Xigu.

Xigu County is just to the west of Longnan Prefecture, not too far away from the Yun and Xia armies, where they are currently fighting.But it was because the Longnan Mansion City, which was garrisoned by a large army, stood in front of it, so the city here has not been invaded by the flames of war.

The people in the city were still working as usual, and the soldiers guarding the city were a little scattered and unguarded.No matter how you look at it, there is no sign of an imminent war.

And at this moment, the city guards who had been looking slightly lazy on the city wall suddenly looked at the dust rising in the distance, narrowed their eyes slightly, and asked subconsciously to Pao Ze beside him:

"what is that?"

Hearing this, several soldiers followed the man's line of sight and looked into the distance.

I saw dust flying in the distance, and it seemed that there were thousands of troops marching.If you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of the marching pace of the army.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and suddenly they heard someone asking in a panic:

"Did Xia Jun come around and want to hit the back of my army?"

That soldier meant to ask others, but seeing such movement at this moment, all the soldiers felt uneasy, like a frightened bird.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone suddenly lost their sense of proportion and exclaimed:

"What, the Xia army is attacking?"

"Has Jun Xia come here?"

"Xia Jun is here! No, run!"

All of a sudden, the soldiers on the city wall were in chaos.

Some people stood there tremblingly, at a loss, and some people exclaimed and began to encourage people around them to flee together. It was a chaotic scene.

Now the battle in Longnan Mansion is fierce, General Zhengbei Cheng doesn't know that he has [-] to [-] troops, but he has to fight fiercely with Xia's [-] elite troops, the strength is extremely tense.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible to arrange an elite cloud army to guard a city that is not a strategic location like Xigu County!

These soldiers in front of them are actually the militia organized by Xiangzhou County to maintain the order and laws of the county when the local government of Xia State was expelled and the villagers self-governed.

These people have not been dismissed, old and weak, and have not been trained for a long time. They are inferior to the local county soldiers in Yunguo.It was okay to maintain order in the past, but if there is a war, then don't even think about it!
Such a movement naturally alarmed the Shoucheng Captain.

The captain who hurried over saw the chaotic scene in front of him, and his eyes suddenly showed coldness.

Without further ado, he pulled out the saber at his waist and slashed, only to hear a "puff", a soldier who was encouraging others to flee suddenly stopped talking, and fell to the ground with blood streaming from his chest.

"Those who confuse the morale of the army, die!" The captain said with sharp eyes, full of murderous intent, and looked around the crowd coldly.

On the city wall, a group of soldiers suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, and subconsciously froze in place.

The troops were tense, and it was difficult for Cheng Bushi to arrange for his elite troops to garrison.However, in order to ensure Dayun's control over the states and counties in the newly attached territory of the state and county, he still arranged some cloud troops in each place to control and control the troops in these places.

At this moment, the dozens of soldiers who came with the defending lieutenant, although the armor and weapons were not much different from the rest of the soldiers, but all of them were full of awe-inspiring aura, and their eyes were so sharp that people dare not look directly at them.Anyone who looks at it can see the difference between these people and the rest of the city guards!

"Immediately close the gates of the city and rectify the security of the soldiers and horses. And send fast horses to report back to Commander Xigu County's military situation!"

"Yes!"

Behind the captain, dozens of elite soldiers of the cloud army stepped forward immediately, and began to rectify the order on the city wall, closed the city gate, and prepared to meet the enemy.

With people rectifying order, the city walls will no longer be as chaotic as before.But as the soldiers and horses in the distance got closer, the atmosphere on the city wall became more and more tense and dignified.

But at this time, someone suddenly pointed at the soldiers and horses ahead and exclaimed:
"Look, captain, it seems to be our soldiers..."

Hearing this, the captain of the defending army was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked into the distance.

The soldiers and horses before were covered by the dust raised during the march, and the flags and armor were hazy and unclear.

But at this time, as the soldiers and horses got closer and closer to Xigu County, the Yunlong flag in the army, as well as the armor owned by the Yun Kingdom, gradually became clearer.

At a glance, they are soldiers and horses of Yun Kingdom!

The captain of the defending army was stunned for a while, then he let out a sigh of relief and murmured:

"Let me just say, unless the Xia army flew over, how could it possibly appear in the southwest of Xigu County... But it's so strange, are there any soldiers and horses of our army staying in the southwest of us?"

Yun Jun on the side heard the words and couldn't help saying:
"Perhaps, it was the soldiers and horses arranged by the general to guard against Tubo. Now that the situation on the front line is tense, this is why they have been transferred back!"

The guard captain nodded, pondered for a while and said:
"Send someone to ask first, and verify the other party's Lingfu army flag. But let your subordinates not relax, and continue to prepare stone-rolling wooden 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 basket and ran towards the direction of the soldier and horse in the distance.

After a while, it should be the messenger who saw the commander of the opposite army.The marching soldiers and horses 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 came back to the defending lieutenant, holding a small silver seal with a tiger's head in their hands, and replied:
"Lieutenant, I've made it clear that they are indeed our troops! General Zhao Yun of the Yi Army, under the order of Lord Zhuge, Fang Zhong, the commander of the Ministry of War, led the army to detour to Yinping. Weary of men and horses, we wanted to come to our Xigu County for a day of recuperation. They have military orders, so it is inconvenient to disclose the details, so they have to use the silver seal of a general to prove their identity!"

When the captain of the defending army heard the words, he was stunned for a moment, and said in shock:

"Come from Yinping Road? Is it true or not?"

The dangers of the Yinping Road are beyond the reach of ordinary people, and no one has ever thought about the march of the army since then.At this time, when he heard that the army on the opposite side was coming from Yinping Road, he naturally showed a look of disbelief.

The captain of the defending army hurriedly took the tiger head silver seal brought by his subordinates, turned it over and saw that the word "General Yi Jun" was engraved on the silver seal, and it was obvious that he was a general with the title of Yun Kingdom, so he could wear it Tiger head silver seal.

"It turned out to be true?" the defending lieutenant murmured to himself in disbelief.

General Yi Jun, Zhao Yun, had single-handedly charged into the camp of the Buri Mansion of the Le Dynasty before, and in the end, without mobilizing a single soldier, he tricked the West Road Navy of the Li Dynasty into giving up their resistance.Such a prestige, even in the army of Xiangzhou County in the southwest, has been heard of.

Looking at the silver seal in his hand, the defending lieutenant immediately stopped hesitating and said loudly to his subordinates:
"Open the city gate and welcome our army! The order will send someone to ask the county magistrate to transfer grain and grass from the county government warehouse for military use. It will be reported to the camp in the future and repaid in gold, silver and materials!"

"Yes!"
-
Longnan Mansion, in the army barracks.

Cheng Bushi looked at the specific military report sent by Xigu County and the secret letter sent by Zhao Yun, no matter how calm his temper was, he couldn't help showing a hint of shock at this moment.

Seeing the dusty Wudang general standing in the tent with a tired face, Cheng Bushi couldn't help but said:

"The Yinping path is rugged and difficult to navigate. Only the local mountain people and advanced warriors dare to go there. Wait, how did you get over there?"

Standing in the tent, the general of Wudang Flying Army was slightly short in stature and dark complexion. He spoke an official dialect with a unique accent of the tribesmen of Nanjun, and said boldly:

"Returning to the North General, I am not a flying army, but His Majesty selected from the people of the various tribes in Nanjun and carefully trained elites. They are all good at mountain raids, and I am bestowed with the title of 'Flying Army'!"

Cheng Buzhi heard the words, nodded clearly, and said in a deep voice:

"Master Zhuge's ingenious strategy, I already know. The Xia army deployed heavy troops to defend our Longnan direction to defend the Xia army's rear in Jiangyang County. After your troops are repaired in Xigu County, if you can detour from Yinping to Guangyuan Mansion North, take Xingyuan Mansion while the Xia army is exhausted, then the Xia army will no longer be able to disturb our Xiangzhou and Jiangyang counties!"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Bushi immediately shouted loudly:

"The order!"

All the generals and military officials in the tent bowed and cupped their fists in unison at this moment, waiting for Cheng Bushi's order.

"General Yi Jun's headquarters, all the missing supplies, horses, armor, bows and crossbows, and weapons are all dispatched from the camp to make up for them, and they will be sent to Xigu County as soon as possible!"

The Yinping path is rugged and difficult, in order to climb over, the Wudang Flying Army abandoned their horses, and also dropped a lot of armor and weapons on the road because of the difficult road.

Fortunately, Cheng Bushi's camp had accumulated a lot of various materials, and there was no shortage of war horses in Xiangzhou, which was enough to make up for all the materials that Zhao Yun's troops lacked.

"Yes!" The quartermaster responded immediately.

Cheng Bushi paused, then said loudly:
"This commander remembers that the [-] cavalry led by Jiang Wei are still wandering around the Jinniu Road. Send an order to temporarily dispatch General Yu Yijun to obey orders!"

Having said that, Cheng Bushi looked at the general from the Nanjun tribe, shook his head and said:
"The [-] Xia army is coming, my commander is not strong enough, and the Longnan Mansion is under a lot of pressure, so this is the only thing I can do now!"

The general heard the words, but with gratitude on his face, he hastily cupped his hands and said:

"The final general is waiting for General Yi Jun and many robes, thank you General Zhengbei for your help!"
-
Daying in Longnan Prefecture is very close to Xigu County, but only half a day's journey away.

And under Cheng Buzhi's personal explanation, the army did not dare to be negligent. All the horses, supplies, and ordnance were transported to Xigu County overnight. arrive.

After a good day of repairing, I added the missing cavalry armor, and the morale of the three thousand Wudang flying army was even worse.Under the leadership of Zhao Yun, they once again took the Yinping trail and headed towards Xiaguo Xingyuan Mansion, which is north of Guangyuan Mansion.

Yinping Road is still rough and difficult, but compared to Motian Ridge before, it is much better.

Along the way, Zhao Yun held back his old love for the soldiers and ordered a hasty march. It took six days to break through the seven supplies of the Xia Army, and went straight to the Yangping Pass of Xingyuan Mansion.

Yangping Pass is the most difficult fortress on the southwestern defense line of the Xia Army today. It occupies the crossing of Chencang and Jinniu on the right, and is surrounded by clouds and mists on the left. It can be described as the most dangerous place in the world. .

As long as this place is captured, the [-] elite Xia troops who invaded the southwest will be overthrown immediately.Moreover, the southwest line of defense that Xia Guo relied on will also completely collapse!

Looking at the towering city wall of Yangping Pass in front of him, and the Xia Jun who looked flustered, astonished and horrified, Zhao Yun's eyes became sharper.

Scanning the murderous soldiers behind him, Zhao Yun pointed his spear obliquely, and said coldly:

"kill!"

"Kill!" The voice of violent drinking sounded immediately.

The murderous aura soared into the sky, causing a faint tremor between the sky and the earth.

The vision was condensed, and a blood-colored radiance rose into the sky.In an instant, dark clouds covered, and suddenly there was a tendency of wind and rain.Amidst the thunderous roar, a cow-shaped body with no horns on its head and only one hoof appeared, shining brightly with the brilliance of the sun and the moon.

Kui Niu and strange beasts, unite!
At this time, above Yangping Pass, a group of Xia soldiers guarding looked at the Yun army who suddenly attacked, trembling all over their bodies, and their faces were full of fear.

"The cloud army is here? The frontline army is defeated! The frontline army is defeated!"

Among the soldiers, someone suddenly shouted hurriedly.Immediately afterwards, shouts rang out from all over the army, all saying that the cloud army was attacking, and the frontline army had been defeated.

Suddenly, Xia Jun's morale was shaken.

The Yun army is currently stretched thin, but Xia Guo's side is obviously not much better.In particular, Anshun County, which sent [-] troops to attack two counties, was even more insufficient.

Now the generals and soldiers of the Xia army stationed at Yangping Pass are actually the former rebel army of Hao Yuanhua who was recruited by Xia Guo!

These insurgents just took advantage of the momentum, and in terms of the elite level of their soldiers, they were comparable to the local soldiers of the Xia Kingdom. Even when the elite Xia army did not enter, Jiang Wei led hundreds of people and almost captured Yangping. Under the storm.

These soldiers and horses, who were originally inferior to the Yun army, were moved by rumors at this time, their morale was low, and their morale was unstable, making it even more difficult to resist.Wudang Flying Army only had a round of arrow rain, and these soldiers were in chaos, even pushing and shoving each other, and even trampled on them.

Hao Yuanhua, who had surrendered to Xia Kingdom before and was knighted, led his own soldiers and hurried to the city wall.Hearing the shouts of "The frontline army has been defeated" sounded from all around, his eyes widened, and he roared angrily:
"Don't shout! Don't shout...Damn it, there must be Yunguo spies in the army, disturbing our army! Anyone who shouts, behead!"

After all, Hao Yuanhua was also a hero who once took advantage of the momentum. Hearing the tacit understanding and shouting voices from all around, he immediately understood that it must be the sticky pole of Yunguo and Dongchang who were making trouble secretly.

Hao Yuanhua ordered the guards around him to dispatch to kill those who disturbed the morale of the army, hoping to temporarily stabilize the morale of the army.

But it's a pity that when he appeared, it was already too late!

Yang Zaixing grabbed a long spear and threw it vigorously. The long spear went away quickly, like a shooting star piercing the sky, and with only a "bang" sound of explosion, it was nailed straight to the city wall.

Yang Zaixing grabbed a long spear casually again, stomped hard on his feet, raised his figure violently, borrowed strength from the long spear, and jumped directly onto the 20-foot-tall spear under the horrifying gazes of Xia Jun. On the city wall of Yangping Pass.

"Stop him! Stop him quickly!" Hao Yuanhua hurriedly shouted.

Among the Xia army guarding the pass, there are also loyal and brave people.At this time, watching Yang Zaixing jump up the city wall alone, he immediately besieged and killed him.

Yang Zaixing let out a sinister grin, and was about to make a move, when suddenly there was a loud shout, resounding across the battlefield!

"The Scale-Backing Crazy Dragon Roars!"

The white mist lingered upwards, condensed for it, turned into a white mad dragon, and came roaring.

Before the soldiers of the Xia army could react, they were immediately sent flying out of their bodies.

At this time, Xiao Cheng, who was far away in Zhongqing City, suddenly had the Gold Finger panel in front of him.

[General Yi Jun Zhao Yun, activates the exclusive skill: Reverse Scale Crazy Dragon Roar, attacking the enemy *4]

　The name of the second skill...
