Northern Dynasties

Chapter 295
With the sound of the wind, hundreds of knights were riding slowly in the frosty and uneven wilderness. It was Yang Zhong and his soldiers who had arrived here a few days ago.

But at this moment, the appearance of this group of people looked a little bit embarrassed, with messy robes and disorganized military appearance, and some soldiers didn't even carry basic weapons such as bows, knives, and Hulu.What's more, even riding on horseback is unstable, with a sluggish and shaky expression, requiring leather ropes to be tied to the horse's back, and the support of the left and right robes.

All kinds of blood stains were scattered on the bodies of these men and horses. They should have experienced fierce battles, and the blood stains on their bodies could not tell whether it was their own or the enemy's.

After getting the news, Li Tai, who went out to respond, met the group of people face to face. He couldn't help but feel worried when he saw their appearance, so he hurriedly came to Yang Zhongma and asked, "Mr. Yang, what kind of accident did you encounter?" ? Is the loss serious?"

Yang Zhong followed his advice and led his troops to this place, but he and Li Mu's itinerary lagged behind Yang Zhong's. If the other party suffered any major losses because of this, Li Tai would feel guilty, even if Yang Zhong If you don't pursue it, you don't know how to face Duguxin.

Yang Zhong waved his hands after hearing the words, with a smile on his face: "Don't worry about Li Zong. It was a bit of an accident, but the loss is not too big. When I checked the thief's nest before, I found that one of the thief troops was stationed out of touch with other troops. Worried that the bandit army would adjust their vigilance and lose this opportunity, they would lead the crowd to destroy them first. When they left, they were blocked by other bandit troops, and they had to fight a battle before they could escape."

"Yang Shijun is really brave! I sent a letter to invite him to come to help the battle, but I didn't come in time, but let him fight alone against the thief Hu Dajun. I am so sorry!"

Li Tai was also taken aback when he heard the words, and quickly clasped his fists again and said, "I really didn't expect Yang Zhong to be such a tiger. There were only a few hundred people watching him in battle, but the Shuofang Hu and Lishi Hu people scattered in the surrounding area were not. There were tens of thousands of people, and without the support of friendly troops, he dared to go straight to the bandit camp and break it, and successfully escaped. He is worthy of being the last boss of Wuchuan.

Although Li Tai also has the experience of hundreds of guerrilla bandits, he mainly relies on his mobility to shoot a shot to change places, and has been avoiding the pursuit and attack of the main force of the bandits. Chongji Hu Dajun.

Even if he takes any risky actions, either he has a strong purpose but his own strength is insufficient, and he needs to make a big difference with a small one, or he is forced to respond helplessly, and he is still a very cautious person in his bones.

After all, for him who is familiar with the context of history, he has his own plan for his life, and he often has an extra dimension of consideration for people and things.With such a disparity in the strength of the enemy and ourselves, if he is to choose to do like Yang Zhong, at least he must be able to capture Gao Huan's level of temptation and reward when he goes out in battle.

Yang Zhong and his team had already traveled long distances to the area along the Yellow River in Xiazhou, and fought several times with an enemy army that was ten times larger than their own. The current state is really worrying, and some horses even need bloodletting to maintain their operations. Ability, but it is only an overdraft of the horse's vitality, and it is almost impossible to survive in this freezing environment.

After Li Tai saw this, he stopped talking nonsense. He ordered people to go back to the camp to prepare enough tents and supplies, and at the same time led Yang Zhong and his party back to the camp. The rest of Yang Zhong's troops were called to join them.

In the camp, Yu Wengui and Li Mu heard that Yang Zhong led his troops to arrive, and hurried out of the camp to greet them. When they found out that Yang Zhong had gone deep into the bandit camp and fought a battle with good results, they were all amazed.

Because they went deep into the bandit camp and were short of time, Yang Zhong's troops didn't dare to stay long to collect the spoils, they just cut off the head of the leader of the bandit camp they broke through and brought them out.

After Yang Zhong ordered people to take out the thief's head and wash it, Li Tai also ordered Liu Kuzhen and several other thief Hu Chiefs who had accompanied the army here to enter the camp to identify and confirm the identity of the hapless guy.

When Liu Kuzhen saw the head on the table after entering the camp, he was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help dancing on the spot, until Li Tai scolded twice, He didn't dare to continue to be unrestrained, and knelt on the ground, still with a happy expression on his face, and confessed: "I report to the governor and all the generals, the name of the deceased is Liu Man, and he is my half-brother, because he is the oldest brother among the brothers." Elderly, he managed some clan affairs a few years ago, enlisted a group of minions in the clan to be driven by him, and even tried to assassinate me, and my father has always been on guard against him..."

The relationship between the father and the eldest son is already quite delicate, and it is not easy to handle under normal circumstances. If it involves the inheritance and distribution of power and interests, it will be even more fraught with a huge crisis.

After listening to Liu Kuzhen's explanation, everyone understood why this unlucky guy camped in the core area but couldn't effectively coordinate with all the friendly forces. It turned out that the root cause was here.

It can also be seen from this that Yang Zhong's eyesight is precise and observant, even if he doesn't know the inside story of these relationships, he can just find the right target and successfully kill him and get away with it.

In addition to these victories, Yang Zhong, who arrived earlier, also made a general survey of the distribution of the bandit army in this area, which greatly saved the time for several coalition forces to conduct further investigations.

After simply eating to satisfy his hunger, Yang Zhong began to tell the story of the thief he knew.

At this time, most of the remnants of the Shuofang Hu tribe and Lishihu tribe who harbored evil intentions and refused to obey Xiazhou’s control have been driven to this area near the Yellow River. There are at least [-] to [-] tribal forces.

The vast majority of these Hu people are not natives of this place, but were driven or migrated here. They are not as familiar with the geographical environment as they were in their original homeland, and the severe cold environment also greatly restricted their migration. Ability to escape, etc.

If these barbarians can be successfully besieged, killed or captured, then in the next few years, the northern states and counties will be free from large-scale harassment by the barbarians.Although northern Shaanxi is the survival paradise of Jihu, which is deeply rooted and difficult to completely eradicate, it will take some time for Jihu's natural birth and growth, including other Hu tribes wandering into this territory to replenish.

Talking about the prospect of such a victory, several people present are very excited.They are also fed up with these Jihu tribesmen who continue to entangle and fight. Even if they can win undefeated, the credit is not outstanding enough. In most cases, the thieves are not rich enough. The loss outweighs the gain.

Yang Zhong's description roughly outlines the distribution of the thieves and horses in this area.

Among them, Lishihu is located at the most core position, and there are about [-] troops remaining. Considering that Lishihu suffered heavy losses in Dongxia Prefecture and Xi'an Prefecture, and can still maintain such a large number of troops, it should be that some of the defeated troops succeeded in defeating the crowd. Fleeing back to this place, it can be seen that the life of wandering for more than a year has not been completely fruitless, and I have accumulated relatively profound experience.

Parts of the Shuofang Hu are scattered around the Lishi Hu, and most of them are more than ten thousand people, while the small tribes only have a few hundred people. The internal integration situation is very worrying, and there is no powerful chieftain who can overwhelm the masses. Commanding the various ministries to fight independently in a state of disunity, when everyone discusses the details of tactics, they are not even as important as Li Shihu, whose power has been greatly weakened.

After the coalition forces of several parties joined forces, their strength was also considerable.

Among them, Yu Wengui's Xiazhou troops have the most troops. Xiazhou is the most powerful state among the states in the northern border, and it is more convenient to be a landlord. When the bandits suffered heavy losses, they lost their initiative on the battlefield. After the power, the courageous chieftains of Xiazhou also became more courageous, and actively responded to Yu Wengui's call, and the gathered people had reached more than [-] people.

Li Tai and Li Mu's coalition forces entered the country with more than 3000 people, Li Tai brought [-] people, and the rest returned to Heishuifang in the south with some of the spoils obtained outside Guangwu City, in case of intruders. Heishuihu took advantage of the war in Beizhou to stir up trouble.

Yang Zhong brought the least number of people, only less than a thousand, but no one blamed him for this.

Yanchi in Xi'an Prefecture is under great defensive pressure in autumn and winter. It is necessary to maintain a considerable defense force in order to deter Xiaoxiao. It is a surprise that Yang Zhongken came to help.What's more, Yang Zhong's resident is the farthest from this place, but he arrived the fastest, and he also provided important information about the thief and broke one of them, which can't be called paddling anyway.

After some discussion, everyone decided to divide their troops into several groups and march separately, so as to drive as many bandits as possible into the encirclement.Xiazhou had the most troops, so they were in charge of the most positions. Li Mu was also eager to make contributions, and took the initiative to win the attack and encirclement in the south.

The rest of the troops were handed over to Yang Zhong as a backup force to respond to all parties. If the battle situation was too fierce, Yang Zhong would lead the army to support it.Yang Zhong's staff, together with the 2000 trilogy delivered to him by Li Tai, and Yu Wengui dispatched more than 5000 people, made up [-] troops.

Li Tai was not in charge of specific combat missions, so he didn't feel disappointed because of this, and felt that others didn't trust his abilities.

After the first battle outside Guangwu City, he already clearly felt that his battle experience had reached a bottleneck period. Simply fighting an opponent of Jihu's level could no longer bring about significant improvement, so when assigning combat tasks, he , it is not too active to fight for.

After all, it's freezing cold, instead of lying outside in the snow and drinking ice, it's better to stay in the base camp and sleep by the stove.Moreover, there is also an illusion that the three generals are all driven by him to lead the army to fight for him. Although his Lu has not prevented the boss from being killed, it does not prevent him from enjoying the addiction of being the boss in advance.

　I wish you all a happy New Year's Eve, family reunion, happiness and happiness. . .
