first-class champion

When Li Sizhao met Zhou Dewei, Li Sizhao was immediately ashamed, and without saying a word, he handed over the army staff to Zhou Dewei, asking for punishment.

Duan Mingyu hurriedly stepped forward and said peace: "Why do you two generals do this? They are all for the sake of Hedong. They should work together to support King Jin to guard Hedong."

Zhou Dewei abandoned the military tent and helped Li Sizhao up, "What King Zhao said is true," the two generals looked at each other and smiled, and they were as happy as before.

Zhu Wen was defeated. After fleeing to Cangzhou, there were only 7 horses left. The Tang army did not pursue Cangzhou City. They were attacked on three sides from east to west. Now the biggest enemy is Khitan, followed by Liu Rengong.

Thousands of war horses ride like the wind to discuss the land beyond the Great Wall in autumn

Heavy rain and early fog, the road is slowly drying, horseshoes step over, but mud is splashed everywhere.

This is a team of pure light cavalry, with one person and two horses. Besides the war horse, there is also a pack horse. They only move forward at the speed of a brigade, but unless they need to maneuver violently on the battlefield, outflank and rush, the forward speed of cavalry is not faster than that of infantry. How much, the horse has a grass belly, and it can only have strength if it eats horse feed. Putting green is just to keep the horse alive.

And regardless of the war horses and draft horses, they are all delicate animals that need to be taken good care of. The horseshoes need to be protected, sweating and sweating must be paid attention to, and the waist of the horse must not be worn or injured. In addition, the horse needs to wipe its eyes frequently to prevent the horse's eyes from blurring. After a day, Taking care of horses takes time.

Although there are more animals that are better adapted to the environment than horses and require less care, compared to the stability of horse riding, the reliability of war horses, the degree of human nature, and the impact that war horses can provide when they explode However, humans can only choose this animal, which is much more delicate than imagined, as the most important aid in the war between humans.

Outside the Yanmen Pass, there are many roads and mountains at Gubeikou, but there are still countless mountain trails. Later generations did not repair the Great Wall. Access, but elsewhere, still needs to be taken care of.

The men and horses that should have been called the Jin Army now all have a big Tang character. Hedong is no longer the unscrupulous feudal town of the past, but a part of the Tang Dynasty, the real emperor's feudal screen. Li Siyuan commanded the Wanqi troops, The scouts were very scattered. The former army was supposed to play the role of scouting and guarding, not sincerely fighting the Khitan troops here in case of intruders, so the guarding screen was very large. .

Li Siyuan has always volunteered to grab the mission of the most important passage outside the Yanmen Pass. Zhou Dewei fought, but seeing Li Siyuan's resolute attitude, he just smiled. Zhou Dewei is also an old man who rolled out of the army. How could he not know that Li Siyuan is behind his silent appearance? , Self-efficacy is like fire, he really wants to prove himself.

Zhou Dewei also hesitated a little bit. Although Li Siyuan was promoted very quickly under the care of Li Keyong in the past, his experience was really shallow. The most important task of fighting against the Khitan was entrusted to him. Zhou Dewei smiled and nodded.

Li Siyuan went straight to Yanmen Pass without stopping, and sent his sentry far away. On the back road, after Duan Mingyu pacified Luzhou, he also sent troops to the north. The Khitan had an army of 30. Li Siyuan only has 3 horses, this gap is not small, even if it can be blocked for a while, if there is no reinforcements in the back, then Yanmen Pass will be breached sooner or later. There is no barrier at all.

At that time, the front of the army will go directly to the city of Jinyang. Zhou Dewei gave Li Siyuan this most important task in consideration of the overall situation. He thought that when he first came to the Hedong Army and was just emerging, his eyes were not like this.

When Li Cunxiao fought against Liu Rengong in Weizhou and showed his invincible appearance, Li Siyuan's heart was not hot.

Why did Li Cunxu first go south and then go north, why he rescued Luzhou first, and then asked Duan Mingyu to raise more than [-] troops to rescue Yanmen Pass, why did he act indifferent to Weizhou's defense, and then support Li Cunxiao after the other two powerful enemies were dealt with? Because Li Cunxiao's name was achieved with one blow and one shot, the true invincible demeanor, with him, even if Weizhou falls, Liu Rengong can be severely injured, making him unable to hold Weizhou even if he captures Weizhou.

At this time, Duan Mingyu was also leading the team struggling in the muddy mountain road. After the heavy rain, the road was difficult to walk, and the rain and fog spread all over the fields. Sometimes, in order to save horsepower, they have to dismount and walk. Everyone wears armor, and this walk is even more difficult. Every knight can't see the original metal color of the armor, as if he is a warrior covered in mud.

Compared with following other generals, everyone dared to complain, but following Duan Mingyu, the big guy dared not complain. He was born as a literati, started in the army, his majesty's confidant, and the military talent appreciated by the old King Jin. Together, they are eye-catching enough. Although Li Cunxu, who "has a son like Li Yazi", has been robbed of the limelight, Duan Mingyu volunteered to take the responsibility of defending the most difficult place. There is no one in his heart who does not admire, more than 20 troops are marching in a hurry, Duan Mingyu is worried that Li Siyuan will not be able to support himself to rush to Yanmen Pass and will fall, so he is very anxious.

Outside Yanmen Pass, Li Siyuan led the horse like his subordinates, but walked in front, followed by his son-in-law Shi Jingtang, this kid couldn't stand it anymore, even though Zuo could ride a horse, he just couldn't straighten up on the horse. His bones seemed to be shaking and falling apart, he seemed to be infected with some wind and cold, his face was flushed, but his complexion was fine, and he still looked careless. Shi Jingtang wanted to make contributions and win a place in the army, but his body was not good enough after all. .

Suddenly, Li Siyuan dropped the reins, climbed up a mound of dirt on the side of the road, and looked towards the valley road leading directly to Yanmen Pass, frowning tightly, without saying a word, the soldiers behind him watched Li Siyuan's actions , although each of them was exhausted, they all became vigilant all of a sudden, holding down the sabers on their waists, looking at each other, one by one, listening attentively, but they couldn't hear anything.

Looking around, the mountain road is filled with water vapor after the rain, the mountains in front of you and behind you stand dangerously, the Great Wall winds behind you, undulating among the mountains,
