Late Tang

An Jinquan was about to go crazy. After Li Keyong died, he worked hard like a paper painter to patch up the leaky and crumbling house in Shatuo, but no matter how hard he tried, he was finally powerless.The Shatuo family is over, he knows it very well.After the death of the three brothers Li Guochang, Li Youjin, and Li Jinzhong, all the old people of that generation died.Now that Li Keyong is dead again, his sons are still young, and it is difficult for the brothers to take on important responsibilities.Even Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao, Li Keyong's two adopted sons who were capable of literary and martial arts, also betrayed Shatuo successively.

Today, Li Ke used Bianliang to kill pigs but was wiped out. Nearly [-] Hedong elites damaged Bianliang. Li Jing chose the most unlikely time and suddenly went to Hedong.

This was an unexpected opportunity. The peace agreement had just been reached half a year ago, and all Qin Jun's eyes turned to the second town of Hebei, which had been betrayed by them and had become helpless.Everyone thinks that Qin Jun will focus on the Hebei battlefield for at least one or two years.But in just one month, Li Jing shocked everyone to pacify Hebei, and completely disregarded the New Year's peace agreement, brazenly launched a lightning raid on Hedong.An Jinquan led the army to rush all the way after hearing the news, but it was still a step too late.

Li Jing's sworn brother, General Lin Wei of the Qin Dynasty, led [-] soldiers and horses, all the way from Shuozhou to the south, broke through the buildings and passes, took Lanzhou, fought in Shizhou, and drinking horses by the Fenshui River. Fort Jiahu, like a rock, blocked their passage to rescue Taiyuan.

One man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it. In front of Jiahu Fort in the Queshu Valley, which is described as only sparrows can pass through, the [-] coalition forces in the east and the middle of the river stormed for three days and three nights, but only left a lot of land in the narrow valley. dead body.More than five thousand people were lost.But the black flying eagle flag on Fort Jahu is still flying high.

The land of various states in Hedong Town.Now Xinzhou in the north of Taiyuan, Lanzhou and Shizhou in the west are all occupied by the Qin army, and now only the besieged Taiyuan City, and Fenzhou, Yizhou and Qinzhou in the south are left.But if Taiyuan is lost, the remaining three states will become rootless and cannot be defended at all.

"Report!~"

A galloping horse came galloping, and the blood-stained probing horse rolled off the saddle and fell off the horse, shouting anxiously and desperately: "Jinyang, Jinyang City is lost!"

Jinyang City was lost.The surrounding counties of Taiyuan Prefecture are also bound to be in danger. The Shatuo people have lost another home they just settled down, and this time, they will have nowhere to go.

An Jinquan's face turned pale again, Qin Jun's offensive was so fast that he couldn't even understand it.Jinyang City in Taiyuan Prefecture is the largest city in the north, and under the governance of Zheng Congyu in the past few years, it has recovered its vitality and is quite stable.The defense of the city wall is intact, and the grain and grass reserves in the city are still sufficient.But after the Qin army pacified Hebei and sent troops to Hedong, in less than half a month, Taiyuan was gone.

Is it true that Shatuo is going to die?

Li Cunzhang on the side didn't seem to believe it, "How is this possible? Even if the strong city of Taiyuan can't be defended for three to five years, it will definitely be fine for a year and a half. Why did you lose it?" No wonder he didn't believe it. What's more, Li Cunxiu still has a full 5 horses in his hands after staying in Jiancheng, even if there are elite soldiers, there are nearly 6.If the people in the city are mobilized again, it will be no problem to gather another [-] to [-] people to help defend the city at critical times.How do you say you lost it?

"After staying, he received Li Jing's personal letter of persuasion, and surrendered in Kaesong."

Li Kexiu surrendered, and the generals left behind in the city rushed to face the outside of the city. Surrounded by the elite Qin army all the way, none of them dared to fight.After receiving Li Jing's personal persuasion letter and promising to preserve their lives and property as long as they surrendered, no one resisted anymore.Even Li Kexiu, after repeated hesitation, chose to take more than [-] people from the Zhu Xie family out of the city to surrender.Taiyuan, the largest city in the north, surrendered without a fight.

The once domineering and proud northern iron cavalry, Shatuo Zhuxie, dared not fight again in the face of Qin Wang Li Jing, and finally surrendered.

Li Keyong is dead, and the Shatuo clan's spirit of resistance to the end has also been extinguished.

"Withdraw!" An Jinquan, the actual decision-maker of the Hedong Army, gave the order in excruciating pain.

"Where are you going?" Li Si'en and other generals asked in a daze.Hedong Town is their home, Taiyuan is their foundation, and their families are all there. Now that Taiyuan is in Li Jing's hands, where are they going to retreat?

"Go to the river first." An Jinquan calmed down and replied calmly.Taiyuan has been lost, the most important places in Hedong Township have been lost, and the remaining three prefectures cannot be defended at all.There are only 3 of them, and the other [-] are the Hezhong Army. It is impossible to take back Taiyuan.The most important thing right now is to protect yourself.He thought about it carefully just now, and he can withdraw to Hezhong first. Li Jing will definitely attack the entire territory of Hedong Town next time, and then he will definitely not stop moving. They will follow the trend and go south. At that time, Wang Chongrong of Hezhong Town will have to face Li Jing army.In this way, Wang Chongrong will have to resist Li Jing, and it is even possible that the Yang brothers in Chang'an at that time will have to send troops to rescue and fight against Li Jing.They can help Wang Chongrong fight against Li Jing first, in exchange for a temporary shelter.As for what to do next, that is still too far away.Perhaps, they will retake Hedong Town together with the court, and then they will be able to return to Taiyuan.Maybe not, and then they'll have to figure out something else.

In short, these 2 people are their last capital, and they must not lose everything here.

The Shatuo people's flags were retreating, and the Lianghe coalition forces that were still attacking just now began to retreat like a tide. They even retreated in a panic, rushing to the first.

The momentum of the Qin army was greatly shaken, and Lin Wei finally completed his goal. They captured Lanzhou Shizhou as planned, entered Fenzhou, and seized the Queshu Valley. Now they blocked the returning Lianghe coalition forces and repelled them.Lin Wu, the envoy of the King of Qin who came from Taiyuan, brought the good news that Taiyuan was captured without bloodshed, which made Lin Wei understand the reason why the Lianghe Army retreated at this time.

Behind the two brothers Lin Wei and Lin Wu is the most elite silver saddle light cavalry army. All of them are warriors who have participated in the Northeast War and have been stationed in Shanxi. They are also an extremely powerful cavalry.Not only can they form the Qin army's offensive and defensive breastplate cavalry formation, but they can also clamp the horse's belly with their powerful legs and control the horse with their legs.Then he held his gun in both hands.With the help of skilled riding.Utilizing the impact of galloping horses, using their lances to break through shields and destroy formations, charge into formations, they are invincible and invincible.For such elite cavalry, there were only three armies stationed in Shanxi Province in the past.This time Lin Wei headed south for the left army, so he got a soldier talisman and was transferred to this silver saddle cavalry to listen to the order.

Before heading south.In Xuanhua City, Li Jing once held Lin Wei's arm and said: "Brother, this time I will entrust you with the heavy responsibility of the left. Your left army will not only take down Lanzhou and Shizhou to the west of Taiyuan, but also take over To take down the Queshu Valley in Fenzhou. You have to attack the defenders of Lanshi and Shizhou, and at the same time intercept the reinforcements from the east of the river, and you must be ready to intercept the Guanlong towns on the west of the Yellow River and the troops in the river. In addition , there is another most important task, Taiyuan City will be taken soon, it is inevitable. As soon as Taiyuan City is taken. I hope that the big brother will immediately switch from defense to offense. The Shatuo army took it down. The Shatuo people are not always rebellious. This army is the source of disaster, and we will wipe them out completely this time, so that there will be no future troubles."

The Shatuo people have indeed caused a lot of trouble for the Qin army in recent years, and they are also one of the few enemy troops that the Qin army has been beaten repeatedly in recent years.This time, Li Jing was going to kill them in one fell swoop and not keep them anymore.

Lin Wei's breathing was still steady, but his hand holding the sword began to tighten more and more, and his knuckles turned white.Anyone who is familiar with Lin Wei knows that Lin Wei's action of An Guogong means that he is not at peace at this moment.Holding the hilt of the sword firmly, this is his special way to relieve tension.

Seeing that the Allied Forces of Two Rivers retreated more and more hastily, and even started to become chaotic, even Lin Wu, Lord Ningguo, was a little impatient. Wang Zhong, the Duke of Baoguo who had just arrived with him, had already strolled in front of them for a few minutes. Over and over again, in order to ensure the annihilation of Shatuo's last viable force, Li Jing sent two four-star generals, Lin Wu and Wang Zhong, over here this time, and brought elite silver guns and five thousand elite Qingqi help.Waiting for Lin Wei to issue an order, Wang Zhong couldn't bear to urge him: "Mr. An, why don't you attack?"

The two light cavalry corps, the Silver Saddle Lancers and the Silver Lancers, had rested and were ready to attack, and stayed behind the closed door.Each cavalry put on another main war horse that had been walking forward with an empty saddle all the way, and put on a bright silver breastplate and half body armor, a bright silver silk cloak hung on its shoulders, and a bright silver cavalry Spears, silver cavalry shields, and even their war horses are all pure white, standing there quietly, like a dazzling sun.

As long as Lin Wei gives an order, the two armies can attack at the fastest speed with [-] light cavalry, and kill all the way to the rear of the Lianghe army, breaking through their formation!

Lin Wei, Lin Wu, and Wang Zhong, who married Li Jingyi back then in Jinlan, have now become the top dukes of Qin Fan.All of them occupy high positions and command heavy troops. However, with years of war experience, the three righteous brothers of King Qin have always performed very well, especially Lin Wei, who has commanded the base camp countless times during Li Jing's personal expedition. Unmatched.

Both Wang Zhong and Lin Wu were eager to attack, but Lin Wei was still waiting, he was still waiting for the best time.

"At this moment, the Lianghe army is still in a vigilant mood. It is not the best time for us to attack. Wait a little longer. When the Lianghe coalition army sees that we are not pursuing us, they must relax their vigilance at that time. The two armies are in a hurry to retreat. It is difficult to maintain the formation. At that time, if our army strikes out unexpectedly, when it relaxes its vigilance, the formation is chaotic, morale is low, and the soldiers and horses are exhausted, we will surely smash the enemy army."

This waited almost until dusk and dusk, more than an hour since the Lianghe Army withdrew.

Lin Wei looked at the sky, and it would be completely dark in another hour.And no matter how fast the Two Rivers Army withdraws, they still don't have enough time to rush to the nearest city. They will either take advantage of the darkness tonight, or camp in the wild, no matter what, it's all within Lin Wei's calculations.

He took out the gold watch in his pocket and lifted the cover, calculated the time carefully, looked at the sky, raised his head suddenly, and shouted to the commander: "Ready to attack!"

Ready to strike!Ready to strike!

The order was passed down over and over again, and the cavalry who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground next to the horse stood up one after another upon hearing the order, and the soldiers lightly jumped on their horses, armed with their lances, and gazed into the distance of the city, with fierce fighting intent in their eyes.He didn't attack at the first time, just to cheat the other party.Now, the time has finally come.

Shatuo dogs, the time has come for you to be destroyed, kill yourselves!

Ningguo Gong Lin Wu and Baoguo Gong Wang Zhong, like a sharp arrow, jumped out immediately.

There was the sound of shouting in my ears, the closed door of Jiahu Fort had been opened, and the suspension bridge had been lowered. Under the eagle flags and red flag officers' gun flags, groups of elite cavalry roared past, heading towards The distance is galloping away.

Lin Wei's calculations were accurate. After the Lianghe coalition forces withdrew, they had indeed carefully arranged for Duanhou's soldiers and horses at the beginning. An Jinjun and Li Cunzhang each led an army to ambush on the road and waited for the Qin army to pursue them.But they waited for a long time, there was no movement in the city, and An Jinquan also withdrew most of them, so they withdrew their troops and followed.After walking for a long time along the way, when it was dark, there was no movement of the Qin army pursuing them. Although An Jinquan and others were still vigilant, the soldiers below had already relaxed.

Jiahu Fort fought for several days, and with the almost non-stop fighting and marching during this period, they were exhausted.They didn't even dig the barracks and ditches. They just drank horses, drank water and ate dry food hastily, and fell asleep impatiently on the open air. They were so exhausted.

Although An Jinquan was dissatisfied with the slackness of the soldiers, it was obvious that everyone was tired and couldn't bear to blame, but he still gave an order to rest for only two hours before leaving in the dark.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

An Jinquan was in charge of sleeping on a snare drum at night to listen to the movement of the land. The sentinel who was specially used to listen to the footsteps of horseshoes suddenly heard the sound of iron hooves coming like a violent storm. The sound of hitting the ground, this sound, at least [-] enemy soldiers.

However, the speed of the cavalry was extremely fast, and by the time An Jinquan hurriedly sent an order to prepare to form the formation, it was already too late.

The cavalry of the Qin Army rushed forward swiftly like a hurricane, unstoppable and unstoppable.

Facing the Lianghe Allied Forces that hurriedly climbed up to form an formation, the cavalry of the Qin Army directly lit the Thunderbolt on the match rope wrapped in their left hand without any grace, and then threw them into the Shatuo army formation one by one like hail.

"Array! Array!"

Facing the rushing cavalry, only the dense and wide infantry spear array and the archer phalanx behind them can contain it, but these officers who faced the cavalry rush subconsciously yelled to form a formation to deal with it, but forgot an important thing The cavalry of the Qin Army are not ordinary cavalry, they are a cavalry with invincible ability to break through formations, because they have sufficient grenades to deal with infantry formations, and the denser the infantry formations, the stronger the lethality of their grenades.

"Boom!"

Explosions sounded one after another, followed by screams and howls of exhaustion. The Lianghe coalition forces who dared to form a dense infantry formation under the intensive projection of grenades were beaten an unforgettable lesson.

The explosion brought by hundreds of grenades abruptly smashed the dense phalanx of the Lianghe Army, shattered their shields, and killed countless soldiers with splashes.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the first phalanx hastily assembled by the Two Rivers Army was completely destroyed!

"Abandon weapons and surrender without killing, those who resist in the corner will die!!"

The two dukes Lin Wu and Wang Zhong each led an elite cavalry, and they attacked swiftly and fiercely from left and right, charging into battle, unrivaled!

(I'm very sorry, in the countryside, there are frequent power outages, and it stopped for two days. An industrial park is being built nearby, and Nima has dug and broken cables twice...). )
