Chapter 366 The moon without a car

Shangjun, Hongliang.

The dust storm is slightly reduced today.

Fang Weihan stood on the earth wall of Hongliang. Across the calm Wuding River in front, and through the shadow of the sandstorm, he could see the joint formation of the alien army and the main force of the Sheshan bandits in the distance.

The two parties joined together, and their number was close to 100,000, which was almost three times the number of the East Palace Guards.

The enemy's military formations stretched for miles, forming a circle along the boundary of the river bend, almost forming a double-team on Hongliang City.

Fang Weihan didn't smile all day today, his brows were always furrowed, and his inner thoughts never stopped for a moment.

He was thinking over the possibilities of that plan, thinking about any possible failure.

And all this, he was destined to be unable to speak to others. This is the responsibility and obligation that a general needs to bear.

Fang Weihan had experienced life and death and made several decisions that could change his destiny, but when faced with such a choice, he still felt great mental pressure.

Just as he said, he took these 36,000 people north from Changming, so he was naturally obliged to take them back to Changming.

Fang Weihan took a deep breath and prepared to rehearse the process in his mind.

At this time, Chen Yuxian came over and cupped his hands and said, "Wei Lie, the people from Qingming are here, and they said they want to see you."

"Let them come over."

Fang Weihan was waiting on the spot, and within a short time, dozens of Qingming monks walked onto the city wall one after another.

The leader of the group had a weathered complexion and gray hair on his temples. He had a solemn and businesslike aura about him.

It was actually Henry Zhang.

"why you?"

Fang Weihan was a little surprised.

Not only Zhang Xuan, he also saw Luo Wei, a short man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, Pan Yuntong, who was wearing a big coat and smiling broadly, as well as the fake monk Tang Huaishi, the restaurant owner Chang Geng and many other people who had attended the Qingming Festival in the imperial capital. The heroes seen in the stronghold.

But what surprised him even more was that after preliminary scanning and deduction by Jingtian's causal power, all of these forty or so Qingming monks were at least at the fourth level.

Among them are even two masters of the fifth rank, Zhang Xuan and Pan Yuntong.

It was obvious that Tao Yunjiang had lied to him.

She did not mobilize all the Qingming forces in Shangjun, but gave all the Qingming elites in Yongzhou to her command.

This little master...

Henry Zhang smiled and said nothing.

"His Royal Highness Prince Guangling, we meet again."

On the contrary, Pan Yuntong greeted him warmly.

"According to Miss Tao's order, we are here to help His Highness."

"Did you come here from Changming overnight?" Fang Weihan asked.

Pan Yuntong said: "How can we come in time? We happened to be dealing with the Vulcan Cult matter in Beidi County recently. When we were about to return to Beijing, we received Miss Tao's call and came directly here."

Fang Weihan suddenly smiled and looked at Luo Ni, who had had trouble with him before.

"Brother Luo, are you willing to come too?"

"Tsk."

Luo Li saw that he was extremely unhappy, looking unhappy, and seemed to want to scold Fang Weihan. However, because he was afraid of the heavily armed Dong Palace Guards and his soldiers, he had to give up in frustration.

He said disdainfully: "As a person from the Zhou Dynasty, I, Luo Wei, naturally have to do my part in fighting the barbarians."

Fang Weihan did not continue to argue with him, but walked to the front of the crowd and solemnly clasped his fists:

"Your arrival is like providing help in the snow. On behalf of the East Palace Guards and the entire army, I would like to thank you all."

Pan Yuntong smiled coquettishly: "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. We all came voluntarily."

People in the Qingming Dynasty were dissatisfied with the Zhou Dynasty in one way or another, and their knowledge destined them not to rule this country.

But such a group of people may not have noble motives, but they are definitely not small people, because they still have not lost their patriotic enthusiasm.

The Uehara Wang family was happy to see Fang Weihan's current situation, and even the fact that the East Palace Guards were in a desperate situation was largely due to their machinations.

The officers and soldiers of the imperial court were forced to fight against the odds due to the internal fighting in the imperial court. However, organizations that opposed the imperial court were able to put aside their positions and prejudices and come to help from thousands of miles away.

I have to say, this is a great irony.

Chen Yu first took the Qingming monks down to rest, while Fang Weihan began to review tomorrow's plan.

According to local guides, these days in October are when sandstorms rage in Hongliang. After a brief pause today, tomorrow's sandstorm will be unprecedentedly violent.

The violent sandstorm meant that the enemy could not clearly see their specific actions, only their general purpose.

Before the Qingming Festival came, Fang Weihan was 50% sure of success. After the high-level combat power of Yongzhou Qingming came out, he already had 70% confidence.

"How are the arrow reserves for the three-bow crossbow?"

Fang Weihan suddenly asked.

"Report to the guard."

The East Palace Guards led the soldiers and said respectfully.

"The single-headed heavy arrows were all used up in the attack on Gao Nu, and it is already less than one-fifth. But the cluster arrows are still fully equipped and can be used at any time."

"Yes." Fang Weihan nodded slightly and looked at the military formation in the distance, feeling excited.

He has done everything he can, success or failure will all depend on tomorrow.

……

……

The bandits spent the whole night amidst the roar of the wind and sand.

By early morning the next day, a thick layer of sand and dust had accumulated outside their tent. The roof of the tent was crumbling, and everyone had to cover their mouths and noses and work together to clean up the sand and dust.

But at this moment, a shrill chant sounded in the military camp.

This is the signal of enemy attack.

The Sheshan bandits abandoned their work one after another and ran to gather outside the camp. Beside their line was an array of foreign cavalry.

The sand and dust hit the face, making it difficult to open one's eyes.

Cursing the evil weather, the Sheshan bandits walked around the foreign military formations in fear, talking among themselves.

"Are these alien barbarians helping us?"

"Probably, but how can they live in Changyuan?"

"I don't know. As long as they are here to help us."

"Damn... alien barbarians, I never thought in my wildest dreams that we would need to cooperate with them one day."

"Young Master, please say a few words! Don't let Brother Xiahou hear it."

On top of the Chinese army camp, Xia Hougao was talking to a senior foreign general.

He is short and stocky, with a dark and fierce complexion, and there are faint ravines on his face that have been blown by the wind and sand over the years.

Helen diagram. Ming Wu's sixth rank cultivation is the commander of this cavalry unit and the leader of the Helian clan. The northern grasslands did not realize centralized power, but implemented a decentralized tribal system. The Tuoba royal family sits in Dragon City and is the nominal co-owner of the grassland, accepting tribute from various tribes. The tribes under his command maintained the highest degree of autonomy and only needed to send their own troops to fight during wars.

Among the various tribes, there are tribes that are friendly to the Zhou Dynasty and support mutual trading. Naturally, there are also warring factions who hate the Zhou Dynasty and plunder the borders.

The Helian tribe belongs to the latter.

Heliantu asked in poor mandarin with a thick accent: "What's going on ahead now?"

Li Tugong suppressed the disgust in his heart and said in a neutral tone: "The officers and soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty suddenly formed a formation and approached the Wuding River, seeming to be preparing to forcibly cross the river."

Heliantu turned around and looked at him and sneered:
"People from the Central Plains, do you have any objections to me?"

Li Tugong looked at his face, the disgust in his heart had reached its peak, and his palm had already been placed on the handle of the knife at his waist.

He regarded himself as a descendant of Li Mu, and he had no intention of making great achievements and trying to restrain Shi Yanran. For him to fight side by side with aliens is really beyond his bottom line.

Li Tugong had been listening to Xiahou Gaoshen's mysterious bragging about reinforcements, but he never expected that the so-called reinforcements turned out to be the alien Vajra Cavalry.

If he had known this, he would never have agreed.

The Sheshan bandits were able to develop and grow because of the inability of the Zhou government to solve the famine problem in Shangjun. And even if the people of the Zhou Dynasty didn't like the decadent court, they were still better off than the foreigners in the north.

This kind of blood feud that cannot be severed by Chang Yuan is an injustice that is absolutely impossible for the people to accept.

So what if this battle can repel or even completely annihilate the Dong Palace Guards? After this incident, the Sheshan Bandits will undoubtedly fall into a situation of betrayal and alienation.

Li Tugong looked directly at Helian Tu with an unkind look on his face. His sword was half-edged out of its sheath. Even though he was turning four times to six times, he still showed no sign of timidity.

"Disciple!" Xiahou Gao shouted sharply.

He hurriedly jumped out to smooth things over: "Commander Helian, please don't be angry. My brother just suffered a defeat at the hands of Fang Weihan and is in a bad mood."

"If you offended Commander Helian, I apologize on his behalf."

"No need." Heliantu waved his hand and stared at Li Tugong with interest.

"You're good."

He laughed, showing his sharp white teeth.

"Hope you survive."

Li Tugong sarcastically said: "Thank you very much for your kind words."

Xiahou Gao secretly scolded Li Tu for his lack of appreciation for his merits.

This Heliantu was a well-known master among the foreign races. His Mingwu Rank 6 attainment level was comparable to that of "Xuanjia" Xiao Fuwei. If he was really angered, there wouldn't be enough people present to kill him.

"okay!"

Xia Hougao interrupted quickly, fearing that Li Tugong would offend the evil star again.

"Now the officers and soldiers seem to be intending to cross the river. According to Commander Helian's opinion, what should we do?"

Heliantu said arrogantly: "What is the plan to defeat them?"

This is how the grassland people think, and they do have such capital.

In fact, in the Battle of Qihe Bend that year, the alien army did not use any tactics. Instead, it directly smashed the Chinese army's front line of the Zhou army and cut off the command link of the Zhou army, thus triggering a massacre of the entire army. Retreat.

Many Zhou soldiers were frightened out of their psychological shadows after that battle.

There is no way, if you can't beat it, you just can't beat it.

The King Kong Cavalry is invincible in the world, and no infantry can withstand their attack head-on.

The Helian clan's King Kong and cavalry are all at level three of Mingwu, and the evil spirit of the plateau horse under him is equivalent to level four of spiritual beast. Such impact is terrifying, and can even directly knock down the earth wall of Hongliang.

"Well... what Commander Helian said makes sense."

Xiahou Gao couldn't help but nodded.

"Attack the enemy halfway across the river, and while their footing is not yet firm, we will definitely defeat them in one battle."

"No."

Li Tugong immediately expressed his opposition.

"King Guangling Fang Weihan is not a man without strategy. How could he not know the common sense of military tactics that a crossing is unstable? The wind and sand outside are so strong that we can't fully grasp the enemy's movements. How can we determine the position of their cavalry?"

"What if our troops are all out and the enemy's cavalry captures the camp?"

When Xia Hougao heard this, he felt that it made sense.

He hesitated: "This..."

"People from the Central Plains, are you afraid?"

Helian Tu said grimly.

"Afraid? Have I, Li Tugong, ever been afraid of anyone?"

Li Tugong cursed.

He really couldn't bear it anymore.

"You idiots on the grassland, if you want to die, then go ahead and do it yourself."

Xia Hougao cursed Li Tugong in his heart, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

A majestic killing intent instantly erupted from the high platform of the Chinese army, and the blood energy condensed like a substance locked onto Li Tugong.

"Commander Helian, Commander Helian, calm down."

Xia Hougao smiled apologetically.

"We are facing a formidable enemy and a battle is imminent. We must not engage in internal strife."

"General Xiahou, you are our brother. We prairie people keep our word and will naturally help you with all our strength. But I have a request." Helian Tu looked at Li Tugong gloomily and said in poor Mandarin, " Let me kill this guy who insulted me."

"Kill me if you dare." Li Tugong gritted his teeth and scratched his neck, saying nonchalantly, "I don't want to live anyway. It's a good time to die now, so as not to get the reputation of cooperating with you foreign barbarians."

"Xiahou Gao, you are a fucking idiot. Fortunately, you worked under Tao Gong, and you can actually do such a thing as cooperating with a foreign race. Are you worthy of your parents' kindness in raising you? I really don't understand. You were wrong.”

Perhaps it was the awakening of a dying person, but Li Tugong had already looked away and simply started scolding Xia Hougao.

Helian Tu said in a deep voice: "General Xiahou, let me kill him."

Although Xiahou Gao was also made furious by Li Tu Gong, he also knew that killing Li Tu Gong at this time was definitely not a wise decision.

He always thinks of his subordinates when they are good. He has no bad habits and always wins battles. He has a high reputation among the extravagant bandits. If you kill him yourself, you will definitely disperse the morale of the army. Coupled with the matter of cooperation with foreign races, it is still uncertain whether this war can be fought.

Xia Hougao reluctantly said: "Li Tu Gong cannot be killed yet. After this battle is over, I will hand him over to Commander Helian for disposal."

"But there is some truth to what he just said. If the officers and soldiers cross the river rashly, they must have prepared a backup plan. We'd better wait and see what happens."

Helian Tu glanced at Li Tugong sinisterly, suppressing the murderous intention in his heart for the time being.

"Then wait and see what Fang Weihan wants to do."

Three miles in front of the main force of the Sheshan bandits, the Zhou army crossed the Wuding River in an orderly manner, and then immediately began a new round of formation changes.

The main heavy infantry in heavy armor were at the front, slamming their shields into the muddy ground. The spear poked out from the gap in the shield, and the entire front line took on the shape of an arc. With the shield as a loop, a half-moon line formed around the Wuding River.

The wind and sand are getting stronger and stronger, and the lines of the Zhou army are looming in the violent wind and sand, with flags fluttering and standing upright like a forest.
