Horse on the World

Chapter 941 The wind blows and the clouds fly ([-])
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Qinian rode his horse out of Quanzhou City. Li Qing was still hungover. An Min and Li Wen came to see Wang Qinian off in place of Li Qing. Qi Nian's division had already gone several days ahead and rushed to Qinzhou to rescue Guan Xinglong.
Farewell to An Min and Li Wen, but Wang Qinian was full of emotions in his heart. This time the eldest son came out with the lord, his heart was very excited, his face was full of joy, thinking that the one who came to Dingzhou must also be very happy, thinking that this is the lord. Anmin, let's go out to practice, but he doesn't know that practice is practice, but the goal of practice is completely different.
Once the war in the Central Plains is over, I will immediately leave across the sea. I don't think it will take long before Anmin will follow!Wang Qinian thought.The lord entrusted the eldest son to his care, but on the other hand, Budi also supervised the eldest son to prevent anything from happening in the future!

Before the lord officially announces this matter, this matter must rot in his stomach. Thinking of the grievances and grievances with some people in the future, Wang Qinian is a little worried.He is not afraid of Jiyue, no matter how scheming the women in the deep palace are, they cannot threaten the general in command, but will Miss Qingfeng hate herself because of this?Wang Qinian shivered a bit, since he was from Chongxian, he had a kind of fear of Qingfeng.You know, Miss Qingfeng even gave up her right to be a mother in order to reassure the people.

It is useless to think too much. Between Qingfeng and the lord, Wang Qinian knew that he would choose to obey the lord's order without hesitation, and do his best wholeheartedly.
drive!Wang Qinian whipped the horse's hindquarters, and the horse hissed long, and sped away.
Bozhou, Tongshan.

Tian Xinyu squinted his eyes and looked at the enemy army waiting in full force. He slowly raised the long spear stuck beside the horse, slowly raised it, and suddenly shouted loudly. His legs clamped the horse's belly, like an arrow leaving the string, and moved forward. Running, behind him, the Dingzhou army shouted and rushed forward with him.
Qiu Zhi in Tongshan County had a garrison of [-] troops, led by Zhou Kuang under his command. The two sides competed in Tongshan for more than ten days. The city wall of Tongshan is short and thin, and basically has no value of guarding. Facing the opponent's siege tools, Zhou Kuang simply chose to actively seek the opponent's main force to fight.
Qiu Zhi's order was not to give up any place, and ordered all the generals under his command to fight to the last soldier in every place, or die if they win.

Zhou Kuang also knew in his heart that the Great Ban had reached the most dangerous time. Qu Yongjie, who was fighting in Qinzhou, if Zhou Tongru could not win, then the fate of Dachu was basically decided, and now Qiu Zhi in Bozhou issued such unreasonable fortune-telling , There is only one purpose, and that is to delay the time as much as possible and buy more time for Qinzhou.
When Qinzhou is opened, it will be full of life.If Qinzhou loses, it will lose everything.As for Bozhou, which is the main point of guarding the Laihe River, once it is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable. Dingzhou soldiers marching up the Laihe River is not only a question of threatening the hinterland of the Central Plains such as Pingzhou and Suzhou, but also whether the army in Qinzhou can retreat completely. problem.

To achieve this big strategic goal, it is worthwhile for Bazhou to make a big sacrifice.
Raising the big sword in his hand, Zhou Kuang looked back at the generals around him, "To be loyal to the country, today, kill!" The remaining [-] soldiers stationed in Tong County shouted, and rushed up with Zhou Kuang.

On the wilderness outside Tong County, the two armies collided with each other.
The spear pierced the body, the steel knife chopped off the head, and the horse fell to the ground and hissed mournfully. In an instant, the ground was stained red with blood. The two warring parties bit together like wild beasts. The gun broke, the knife broke, and the shield broke. Then he rushes forward with bare hands, pounces on the body, hugs the opponent, uses hands, feet, teeth, and everything that may cause harm to the opponent, trying to kill the opponent.

Tian Xinyu fought from one end of the battlefield to the other. The horse was poked into a sieve an hour ago, and the spear was bent like a long bow by a heavy weapon. At this time, he was waving a With a saber in his hand, he fought fiercely.
Zhou Kuang's situation was not much different from that of Tian Xinyu's, and he was also caught in a bitter battle. Soldiers from both sides strangled each other, and the enemy and us had long been unclear.

Tian Xinyu saw Zhou Kuang, and Zhou Kuang also saw Tian Xinyu almost at the same time.The entire battlefield was in chaos, but there were only a hundred or so people gathered around the two of them, huddled together on the battlefield to kill, and the formation of other soldiers had already been messed up.
After killing the opponent's general, the idea popped up in the minds of both of them at the same time, and then the two teams that were still organized collided fiercely in the center of the battlefield.
The two of them are accompanied by personal soldiers, skilled in martial arts and rich in battlefield experience. At this time, they have been fighting for more than an hour, but they are actually at the end of their battles. What they rely on is just their tenacious will.

"Kill!" Tian Xinyu rushed towards Zhou Kuang excitedly, drawing two arcs with two sabers in his hand, one left and one right, and slashed at Zhou Kuang like lightning.

Zhou Kuang’s previous arrangements were not wrong, and it was not bad to take the initiative to seek Dingzhou soldiers for a decisive battle in Tong County, but the only thing he did wrong was that Xun Tian Xinyu fought alone. Among them, there are very few Liao Liao who can beat Tian Xinyu alone. The generals have long recognized that among the generals, the only ones who can beat Tian Xinyu in martial arts are Guo Shanfeng and Wang Qinian.

The two fought each other several times, and Zhou Kuang knew he was invincible, but under Tian Xinyu's powerful attack, even if he wanted to get away, it was difficult. The personal soldiers saw that something was wrong and wanted to come to the rescue, but under the opponent's attack Under the entanglement, there is no way to escape.
With a bang, the saber in his hand was hit at the weakest middle, snapped into two pieces, Tian Xinyu stepped forward, bent one knee, and pushed it against Zhou Kuang's lower abdomen, causing his body to bend down like a shrimp , the long arm stretched out, strangled his neck, and the saber in the other hand pierced through Zhou Kuang's chest and abdomen with a chirp, and came out from the back again.

As Tian Xinyu let go and retreated, Zhou Kuang fell to the sky, the dazzling sun in his eyes turned blood red, and with a bang, he fell on the battlefield full of dead bodies.

"If you can't win, you die!"

Zhou Kuang died in battle, and the exhausted Bazhou soldiers disappeared without a trace with the fall of the flag of the general. The battle immediately became one-sided, or fled, or surrendered, or launched a final attack in despair , Tong County fell after Tian Xinyu at sunset.

The magistrate of Tong County led dozens of gentry in the city to open the city and surrender.
After resting in the city for a day and replenishing food and grass, Tian Xinyu immediately led his troops to continue to Bazhou.Although he won, Tian Xinyu felt no joy in his heart. In the past few days, information from various places showed that the Dingzhou Army had encountered tenacious resistance from the Bozhou Army on the entire front. Pay a high price.And the most important thing is, time, their pace of progress far exceeded the time Li Qing gave them.
In Bozhou City, on the huge map hanging on the wall, Qiu Zhi drew heavily in the direction of Tong County, and around Bozhou City, there are as many as five such arrows.
Zhou Kuang, this is the fifth general killed in battle.Qiu Zhi's gray hair is automatic without wind.There is no sadness or joy in the eyes.

"How is the construction of the positions outside the city?" He looked at his lieutenant general.
"General Qiu, on top of the original position, we have temporarily built an outlying position ten miles deep. The local garrison troops recruited from all over Bazhou have been deployed. There are sufficient armaments, and the chief assistant also knows the importance of Bazhou. In addition to continuously replenishing supplies through the Laihe River, the first batch of reinforcements has also departed from Suzhou and is expected to arrive at Qingtan in half a month."

Qiu Zhi nodded, "In half a month, as long as Zu Shou can stand up and hold Qingtan, we can fight a protracted battle with the Dingzhou army in Bazhou and hold Bazhou firmly."

"With General Qiu in command, we will definitely be able to defend Bazhou!" The lieutenant was full of confidence, "From the perspective of the peripheral battlefield, although the Dingzhou Army tried its best, under our tenacious resistance, the pace of advancement was far slower than Our initial expectations."
"But they are still advancing after all." Qiu Zhi said lightly. "In half a month, we have lost five generals, and tens of thousands of troops have disappeared. After this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, the Bozhou Army will cease to exist."

"As long as the Great Chu is still there, the Bozhou Army will be rebuilt one day." said the lieutenant general.

"You're right, as long as Da Chu is still there, everything will be there." Qiu Zhi laughed, he was very satisfied with the state of the lieutenant general, "Come on, let's go outside the city, we still need to go to the local garrison." cheer up."

Ningzhou, Li Sizhi, Qingfeng, Tian Feng, Guo Quan and others gathered together. After the [-]-strong mountain changed flags, after half a month of reorganization, the [-] southern troops in the mountain had completed their training and were divided into small units. In the Dingzhou army, more than [-] people were selected from the Qiang soldiers, each led by Ma Zhen and Meng Junjian, and directly under Tian Feng's command.And Ding Zhuang, who was originally assisted by King Ning to enter the mountain, is also returning to his hometown one after another, and the whole Ningzhou has begun to restore calm.

"Fengli's division entered Qingzhou to fight against the mountain wind. If the two armies can join forces in Qingzhou, their strength will be enough to threaten Changhua, and then open the road from Qingzhou to Qinzhou, threatening Qu Zhou's army." Tian Feng looked down Looking at the huge sand table in front of him, "I don't think it is necessary for the Qiang soldiers to enter Qingzhou. The Qiang soldiers did all kinds of evil in Qingzhou back then, and had deep grievances with the local people. If they are allowed to enter Qingzhou, it is very likely to arouse the resentment of the local people. Therefore, I I think that, instead of this, it is better to send Qiang soldiers to Bozhou to assist Lu Dalin in attacking Bozhou."
"The question is, after Fengli Division enters Qingzhou, can it join forces with Guo Shanfeng smoothly! After all, Fengli Division only has more than [-] people, and most of the troops under its jurisdiction are soldiers from the original Liao Dynasty, and their combat strength varies. Now, Qinzhou is already at stake." Li Sizhi said.
Qingfeng said: "Although Mr. Li's worry is not unreasonable, we must see that since Shang Haibo launched this campaign with painstaking efforts, there must be a careful deployment on the front line of Changhua to prevent us from breaking through. This line of defense, and the tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers are not good at attacking cities, and it is not a big deal to enter Qingzhou. In this case, it is better to send them to Bozhou. Now Qiu Zhi is fighting for every inch of our land, and the fighting is extremely fierce. The loss is also relatively large, why not let the Qiang soldiers gnaw on this hard bone."

After Li Sizhi and Tian Feng heard it, they understood that Qingfeng was using Qiu Zhi to consume the strength of the Qiang soldiers.
"The focus of this battle is not on Qingzhou, but on Bazhou. If Bazhou is won, even if Qu Yongjie and Zhou Tong are absolutely unwilling, they will have to retreat." Qingfeng said: "Otherwise, his hundreds of thousands of troops will become our target meal."
