Although Xia Wutao is over forty years old, he has always followed Xia Cheng as a general. He is loved by Xia Cheng a lot on weekdays, and rarely fights fierce battles, so his thinking is much simpler than Yang Lin and Yu Chuan. .Hearing Xia Wutao's opinion, Yang Lin and Yu Chuan frowned at the same time. What Xia Wutao said was not wrong, but it was not in line with Yang Lin's purpose of attacking Jiangling Mansion this time.This time Xia Cheng sent Xia Houdun to attack Jiangling Mansion, of course it was not for the simple purpose of sieging the city and plundering the land. It should be known that Song Emperor Zhao Zhen still had 20 troops hoarding in Wugong Mountain and Luzhou, even if Yang Lin could successfully capture the entire The Jiangling Mansion will definitely not be able to stop Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's counterattack.

Therefore, Xia Cheng's purpose this time is the same as what Liu Tong did at the beginning of the year. It was to sneak attack Jiangling and capture Zhao Zhen, the representative of the supreme power in the world, who had just ascended the throne as emperor.

To achieve this goal, Yang Lin's army must first be required not to startle the enemy. If, as Xia Wutao said just now, they directly attack the Hanyang army, then the defenders in Jiangling must be on guard.Although Song Emperor Zhao Zhen had already mobilized most of the troops from the south of King Xin's army to attack Liu's army this time.But thinking about coming to Jiangling Prefecture, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen must still have some troops, plus the garrisons in Fuzhou and Ezhou, it will be very difficult for Yang Lin to complete the mission this time.

But no matter what, this Xia Wutao is also a child of the Xia clan, and it is not easy for Yang Lin to criticize Xia Wutao face to face, so he was noncommittal to Xia Wutao's suggestion, but turned to Chuan and asked: "Yu Chuan, do you have any other opinions?" ?”

"Uh." Seeing Yang Lin asking himself again, Yu Chuan felt a little headache. Of course he didn't agree with Xia Wutao's opinion, but the problem was, if he refuted Xia Wutao's words in front of him, it would definitely make Xia Wutao hate him.He is a dignified descendant of the Xia family, and a general with a foreign surname offended him, how can he be a general under Xia Cheng's account in the future?Thinking of this, Yu Chuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I agree with General Xia's opinion."

Unexpectedly, Yu Chuan answered like this, which made Yang Lin frown.But Yang Lin quickly understood what Yu Chuan was thinking, and shook his head secretly.Although Yu Chuan is also a general, it's a pity that he lacks courage and always thinks about ways to protect himself.This person can be the general of an army, but it is difficult to be the commander of an army, so he should not be used too much.

Thinking about it, although Yu Chuan and Xia Wutao had the same opinion, out of loyalty to Xia Cheng, Yang Lin would not just follow their opinions in such a muddle.Yang Lin shook his head directly and said: "Although the Hanyang army is not difficult to conquer, it is better to be careful not to leak the wind. In this way, Yu Chuan, you lead five thousand soldiers and horses from the north to block the west of the Hanyang army. , Xia Wutao, you lead five thousand soldiers and horses to go around from the south and block the south of the Hanyang Army. You must not let one person go to report the news. I will lead the rest of the soldiers and horses to attack the Hanyang Army and take down the Hanyang Army City with the power of thunder. .”

Yang Lin's arrangement surrounded the Hanyang Army. Although there was still a gap in the north, the north from the Hanyang Army was outside the city. If you are going to the north or the south, how can there be any reason to go from the north and go farther and farther?After receiving Yang Lin's order, Yu Chuan's heart sank. From Yang Lin's tone, Yu Chuan could hear Yang Lin's dissatisfaction, but Yu Chuan was helpless.

Offending Yang Lin and Xia Wutao, Yu Chuan must choose the same.However, judging from past interactions, Yang Lin is open-minded, presumably as long as he can make great achievements, he will not care too much, which is why Yu Chuan chose not to offend Xia Wutao before.

When Xia Wutao saw that Yang Lin didn't accept his opinion, he was somewhat unhappy, but Yang Lin was not Yu Chuan, whether in the army or in Xia's family, Yang Lin's reputation was extremely high, second only to the adults. Under Xia Cheng.No matter how unhappy Xia Wutao felt in his heart, he didn't dare to complain to Yang Lin, he could only answer Yang Lin honestly.

Seeing that both Yu Chuan and Xia Wutao had taken orders, Yang Lin said to them solemnly: "Remember, this battle is of great importance. As long as we win the Hanyang Army, we can go directly south to take Jiangling. It is a matter of great importance to the adults, the two of you must not be careless. Do you understand?"

Yang Lin's warning also made both Yu Chuan and Xia Wutao's faces tense, Xia Wutao also put away the previous relaxation, saluted Yang Lin again, and shouted in a deep voice: "General Yang Lin, please rest assured. The final general will not disgrace his fate." .”

Seeing Xia Wutao's appearance, Yang Lin finally felt relieved. What he was most worried about was that Xia Wutao would take it lightly.Now they can be said to be going deep into the enemy's territory, and they have to be careful with every step, and they can't be careless.Immediately, Yang Lin nodded and said to Chuan and Xia Wutao, "Okay! Then we will follow the plan, you go."

With a big wave of Yang Lin's hand, Yu Chuan and Xia Wutao didn't delay any longer. The two men gathered [-] soldiers and horses from the main army and marched north and south separately.Seeing the shadows of the two soldiers and horses gradually going away, Yang Lin took a deep breath, and a trace of fighting intent flashed in his eyes.The future of the Xia family's army began with this battle.For the Xiahou family, for the Wu family, and for the adults, this battle must be won.

Hanyang Army City can be regarded as the gateway to the north of Jiangling Mansion. Song Emperor Zhao Zhen naturally attached great importance to Hanyang Army, and assigned [-] soldiers to guard the city.However, the strength of the Xinwang Army over the years has somewhat made the soldiers of the Xinwang Army somewhat slack.Thinking about it, it is true, now that Xin Wangjun is so powerful, only Xin Wangjun can attack others, and it is too late for others to hide, how dare to attack Xin Wangjun?

However, at the beginning of this year, a news came from Wugong Mountain, which poured a bucket of cold water on the defenders in all the towns of King Xin's army: Liu's army dared to send troops to attack Yongxin.Although Liu's army finally withdrew its troops, this news undoubtedly reminded all the troops of Wang Xin's army. Therefore, in the past few months, from the Nanjunzhai to the Wugong Mountain, the guards in every town The army has begun to step up training, and it can be regarded as a bit of the prestige of the elite under the three commanders of the Northern Xinwang Army.

The Hanyang Army was the northeast gate of the Jiangling Mansion, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen naturally would not arrange for an ordinary general to guard the city, and the man in charge of guarding the city of Hanyang Army was the mighty general Gao Yong.Speaking of this Gao Yong, he is a child of the Gao family in Hebei, and he is also a martial arts student of the Xinwangjun General Academy. When he was studying in the Xinwangjun General Academy, he won the title of the number one master of the Xinwangjun General Academy.Just a year ago, Wang Tao introduced Gao Yong to Ma Kuo, and Ma Kuo recommended Gao Yong to Song Emperor Zhao Zhen. Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, knowing that Gao Yong is a good general, naturally he also reused Gao Yong.

Speaking of Gao Yong, he is really not an ordinary warrior. He did not learn the marksmanship of the Gao family, but learned a good swordsmanship from a Northwest swordsman in the academy.A big knife danced, quite like Shan Hongfei, the No. [-] general on Jinghu North Road back then.

Near the Hanyang Army, there are many people from Lianwu Mountain Villa, the folk customs are tough, and the soldiers and horses recruited here are also wild and unruly. Gao Yong came to the Hanyang Army alone, and it took only one day to kill these unruly soldiers. The defenders of the Hanyang Army were tamed.Well, there is only one word, so type it.Gao Yong fought for a full ten hours, beating all the officers and soldiers of the Hanyang Army defenders, as well as some capable soldiers.In the end, those soldiers were all tired and lay down, but Gao Yong was still in high spirits.After going out like this, all the soldiers of Hanyang Army City's defenders, up and down, gave Gao Yong a voice of admiration.

Today, according to his usual habits, Gao Yong is also preparing to take the soldiers out of the city for training.From the city guard's mansion to the barracks on horseback, Gao Yong didn't need his subordinates to notify him. He stood alone at the gate of the barracks with a golden knife, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey! Get out and line up for me~!"

Gao Yong's roar was earth-shattering, it resounded throughout the barracks, and the flagpole that hung the flag next to it was trembling non-stop.In less than ten breaths after Gao Yong roared, countless soldiers quickly ran out of their tents, and in less than a stick of incense, all the soldiers in the barracks lined up in front of Gao Yong.

"Damn it." A trace of satisfaction flashed across Gao Yong's face, but soon his face was gloomy again, and he cursed: "You bastards! Don't you know that you have to train today? Everyone is leisurely hiding Enjoy the blessings in bed. Are you still waiting for me to give each of you a wife? You bastards. Let me stand up."

Gao Yong yelled and cursed together, coupled with his rugged appearance with beards, he really exuded a ferocious air, and the soldiers were so scolded that they dared not even breathe.After cursing a few words, Gao Yong stopped talking, glared at the soldiers fiercely, then turned around and got on his horse, but took his sword from the soldiers.This heavy broadsword in the hands of the soldiers became as light as paper in Gao Yong's hands. Gao Yong waved the broadsword and shouted to the soldiers: "Advance in line."

Under the leadership of Gao Yong, the brigade began to move towards the east of the city.Although the Hanyang army can be considered a relatively large city, it is the land of the military stronghold after all. Compared with the real old and new cities such as Jiangling and Wugong Mountain, the scale of the Hanyang army city is not large.The military barracks in the city can only be barely filled with tents, which is not enough for the defenders to train in the city.Therefore, for daily training, Gao Yong had to pull the defenders out of the city and conduct training in an open area outside the city.

Walking on the street, King Xin of Hanyang Military City has long been accustomed to the actions of the defenders. The military discipline of King Xin's army is very strict, so there is no such thing as the soldiers of King Xin's army oppressing the people.Therefore, the people of Hanyang Juncheng are not very afraid of these menacing brigades.If they run into each other, it's just to make way for them, and some civilians even wave to their acquaintances in the army to say hello.

Of course, not all the defenders were from the local area of ​​the Hanyang Army. Among the more than 15 defenders, nearly a thousand were assigned here from various territories of the King Xin Army.Liu Wenyuan, who is only [-] years old, is one of them. Liu Wenyuan's hometown is from the land of Huguang. Speaking of Liu Wenyuan's family background, he can be regarded as a wealthy family in Huguang. Of course, it is inferior to the Zhang family and other wealthy families. a lot of.However, Liu Wenyuan's family background allowed Liu Wenyuan to receive a good education since he was a child. Liu Wenyuan was even a student of Xinwangjun General Academy.

It's just that after Liu Wenyuan graduated from Xinwangjun General Academy, he was forced by his elders to go back to the south to inherit his ancestral business and start a business. How could Liu Wenyuan, who had seen a wonderful life outside, be willing to obey?

So after graduating from Xinwang Army General Academy, Liu Wenyuan secretly joined the army in Fuzhou and Ezhou, and was later transferred to Hanyang Military City.Originally, as a student of Liu Wenyuan's Xinwangjun General Academy, it was impossible to just be a soldier no matter what, but in order not to be caught by the elders of his family, Liu Wenyuan concealed his identity as a student of Xinwangjun General Academy. Start with a pawn.

But soon, Liu Wenyuan made contributions in several battles to wipe out the local horse thieves, and was promoted by Gao Yong to be a corps leader, which can be regarded as a low-level officer.It happened that Liu Wenyuan's soldiers were all foreign soldiers like him, so it was very easy for Liu Wenyuan to lead the soldiers.

Liu Wenyuan was leading the soldiers under him and marched forward with the team. Suddenly, a man walked up to Liu Wenyuan seemingly casually, and whispered to Liu Wenyuan: "Liu Wenyuan, today I must beat you .”

Hearing this, Liu Wenyuan only slightly raised the corners of his mouth. He was only 15 years old, and he didn't have a beard on his face, but he looked full of vigor. He smiled and said to the man: "With your ability, even if you practice another In 30, don't even try to beat me. If you want to beat me, I think you have no hope."

On weekdays, although the local soldiers and these foreign soldiers talked a lot about the deep hatred, there must be frictions, both large and small. Both sides are suffocating, wanting to prove that they are better than the other.As a foreign soldier, Liu Wenyuan naturally had to fight with these local soldiers, and this person who provoked Liu Wenyuan was one of them.It's just that although a sergeant can be regarded as having some abilities, he is still inferior to Liu Wenyuan.Every time he fights with Liu Wenyuan, he ends up in a disastrous defeat, but this sergeant who is also surnamed Liu is unconvinced and has been defeated repeatedly. Like the scene just now, he has to replay it every time before going out for training.

Hearing Liu Wenyuan's words, Liu Jun's morale was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Wenyuan, stop looking down on people. Just wait and see. I will beat you to the ground and beg for mercy later." The sergeant of the Liu family sent a message After a few harsh words, he ran back to his place angrily.

Liu Wenyuan didn't care about what the sergeant of the Liu family said. Although the sergeant of the Liu family said his mouth was a bit stinky, he was not a bad person, so he just refused to admit defeat.Don't look at what he said so harshly, but when it comes to fighting, both of them will pay attention to the proportion of their hands, and will not fight to the death.

However, what the Sergeant of the Liu family said just now aroused Liu Wenyuan's thoughts. He raised his head and looked at the general who was following Gao Yong in front. His eyes lit up with burning fighting intent, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Gao Yong is also very familiar with Liu Wenyuan. Liu Wenyuan was able to hide his identity when he signed up for the army, but he couldn't hide his identity from Gao Yong, a senior who also came from Xinwang Army General Academy.For Liu Wenyuan, an outstanding junior, Gao Yong naturally knew it, and after Liu Wenyuan came to the Hanyang Army, he also imitated Gao Yong's appearance in the past, and wanted to challenge all the generals in the city.Not to mention, Liu Wenyuan really has some skills, winning consecutive battles.It's just that when Liu Wenyuan started to challenge Gao Yong's deputy commander, Jiang Shanli, he was rejected by Jiang Shanli, and Liu Wenyuan is not the kind of person who is willing to give up easily. look like.

Jiang Shanli, who was also from Xinwangjun General Academy, naturally knew that this guy was a junior.He shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "This kid still needs to be honed and honed. If he honed well, he might be a general in the future." Although Jiang Shanli is not much stronger than Liu Wenyuan, his words But there is an old-fashioned air in the room.

Just when Gao Yong opened his mouth to speak, suddenly a shout came from the front, interrupting Gao Yong's words.Gao Yong and Jiang Shanli looked up at the same time, and saw a rider running from the street in front of them. It seemed that he was also a member of the defenders, but there were thousands of defenders in the city, and it was impossible for Gao Yong and Jiang Shanli to all be there. recognize.

Just as he was wondering, that rider had already arrived in front of Gao Yong and Jiang Shanli, turned off his horse, knelt down to Gao Yong and Jiang Shanli, clasped his fists and shouted: "General Gao Yong! General Jiang Shanli! It's not good, Chengdong found enemy."

"Enemy army." These two words immediately drew the attention of Gao Yong and Jiang Shanli, and Gao Yong hurriedly asked: "What enemy army? How many troops are there?"

"General Gao. Don't worry about these things for now. Let's rush to the east of the city immediately." Jiang Shanli was more calm. Seeing that Gao Yong was still questioning, he hurriedly interrupted Gao Yong's questioning.Now there are only more than a hundred defenders left in the east of the city. If there is an enemy army, that number of troops will definitely be unstoppable. Just now, the two of them have gathered the defenders in the city and can rush to help.

"Ah! Let's go!" Gao Yong also reacted, and immediately waved his hand, and he and Jiang Shanli led the army and hurried towards the east gate.Fortunately, they were almost at the east city gate, so it didn't take long for the army to go directly to the top of the city.

As soon as Gao Yong and Jiang Shanli went to the top of the city, they went straight to the front of the female wall and looked out of the city. This look made the two of them involuntarily gasp.Outside the city, there was a mass of darkness, and a large group of soldiers and horses were approaching the city wall to hide and kill, obviously they were enemies rather than friends.And these enemy troops were all dressed in black, but did not raise their flags, so Gao Yong and Jiang Shanli couldn't tell which side the opponent was from.But a rough estimate, there should be about [-]. Such a scale is not something that thieves can do.

"General Gao, be careful." Seeing such a situation, Jiang Shanli's face was full of dignity, and he said to Gao Yong beside him, "If I'm not mistaken, this army might be the army of Xia's army."

"Xia Family Army?" Gao Yong couldn't help being stunned, and looked at Jiang Shanli with some confusion. The enemy army in front of him didn't raise a flag, why did Jiang Shanli just look at it for a short while, and decided that the opponent was the Xia Family Army's army? ?Moreover, if it was the Xia family army, why didn't the enemy raise the flag?

Before Gao Yong could ask, Jiang Shanli took the initiative to explain: "Judging from the equipment of the army in front of us, it is obvious that it has undergone regular military training. Only the Xia family army in the east can have such a regular army. Possibly. As for why they didn’t raise the flag. Hmph! The generals of the Xia family’s army must be aiming for a sneak attack, and they didn’t dare to let us take advantage of it to fight back. However, what they did was still a rebellion! It’s just courting death! "

As Jiang Shanli explained, the two had already ordered the army to set up a line of defense on the top of the city, ready to deal with the enemy's attack. This level of emergency, for Gao Yong and Jiang Shanli who were born in Xinwang Song Army General Academy , is simply as easy as pie.As a corporal leader in the defenders, Liu Wenyuan and Liu corporal leader were arranged in the same area at the head of the city to cooperate in defense.Liu Wenyuan's squad is sword and shield soldiers, while Liu Wuchang's squad is spearmen. Putting the two squads together can be regarded as complementary.
