MTL - Kunning-Chapter 212 Arrogant
When there is a war, it is like weeds on the wasteland. With a little spark, it will cover the sky and cover the earth when it is blown by the wind, showing the trend of starting a prairie fire.
The drums of war on cold winter nights are as loud as thunder!
The sweet dreams of the Tatars who were preparing for war were startled, the sharp spears and sharp blades, and the sword soaked the blood into the cold frozen soil, and when the bleak morning sun sprinkled the light on the earth, it reflected slices of rouge color after slice.
The light cavalry marched the fastest, and the crossbowmen were hidden among the light infantry, covered by the two wings. The rain of arrows flew all over the sky long before the Tatar soldiers approached, shooting down countless horse cavalry in the formation.
The man fell from the horse, and the horse howled and fell to the ground.
The latecomers were either entangled by it, avoided it, and bumped into it; or reacted quickly and adjusted their formation toward the two sides, but they were inevitably scattered like an ant colony. The formation that was originally purge was almost immediately torn a hole in the middle.
Yan Lin stood watching from the height of the chariot, made a decisive decision, and ordered the drummer to change the drumbeat and the marching order. The cavalry starts from the two wings and immediately outflanks the opponent's attacking camp; the heavy infantry with swords and shields rushes in from the opponent's already torn weak point like a long spear, and the arrows of the crossbowmen no longer fly all over the sky. The heavy infantry that broke into the phalanx marched!
Most of the troops selected for the attack on Tatar this time were fast-moving ones, and Yan Lin ordered decisively without hesitation, and the changes were unexpected, which really caught the Tatar side by surprise.
By the time the opposing general realized it was too late—
There were four or five thousand people on the right wing of the Tatar army, and they watched helplessly as they were cut out abruptly by the outflank of the light cavalry and the advance of the heavy infantry, and separated from the main force of the army!
And the light infantry on this side has already been waiting for them!
The sound of shouting and killing suddenly rose!
A mere four to five thousand people fell into the tight siege, even though they struggled and fought endlessly, how could they resist the superiority of Dagan's numbers and arms? And falling into the siege of the enemy, there is already a place of panic, and the fierce offensive hits, making everyone even more defeated!
The victory of all wars starts with a small initial advantage, seizes the opportunity, and advances like a snowball.
One penny, one foot and one foot.
Under the situation of being prepared and unprepared, the young general showed amazing composure and determination. He didn't slack off at all because of his own advantages, and he didn't even rush forward.
The loss of four or five thousand people in the first confrontation was already a huge loss for the Tatars.
Afterwards, the formation changed several times, but it was still unable to seriously injure the opponent.
If there is still a momentary **** battle with Dagan at this time, it will undoubtedly win the battle, regardless of the overall situation. Therefore, after the Tatar side launched a swift and violent charge, they immediately called for gold and withdrew their troops, ordering all the soldiers to retreat to their side's fortresses.
Many generals on the Dagan side were very excited, they could almost see the military achievements in front of them, imagining how they would be promoted to the ranks after the Tatars were conquered, and immediately recommended Yan Lin to take advantage of the victory to pursue, beat the dog in the water, and beat the Tatars in one go. To shovel out the arrogance of Dagan, so that they know that Dagan is still Dagan, and that Dagan's iron hooves are what they should fear.
Unexpectedly, Yan Lin ignored it.
After a few orders, without the slightest desire to fight, he directly ordered to withdraw the troops and return to the camp!
Some people in the army will inevitably criticize.
However, the victories are ahead, even if they have criticisms, they can't stop Yan Lin's sudden rise in prestige and momentum in the army, not to mention that Lu Xian's people in the army's food and grass allocation have already replaced Yan Lin, and they obey Yan Lin's words , Others have no right to speak and dispatch at all.
There is no food and grass, what to fight with?
Even if you have tens of thousands of dissatisfaction in your stomach, you have no choice but to bite your teeth and swallow it, and you have to bow your head and ears to this young general when discussing affairs in the camp!
A surprise attack in the first battle, as fast as lightning.
In the next few days, this tactic was brought to the extreme. Troops were constantly sent out to harass, but they did not overwhelm the formation with a large army. They just pecked at the opponent's flesh and blood little by little like eagles preying on them, weakening the opponent's strength time and time again.
At the same time, it is stepping up the training of the remaining troops in the battalion.
The most painful thing is to cut the flesh with a blunt knife.
After only three times, the Tatar side had already seen the opponent's intention clearly. On the fourth time, the royal court came to reinforce them, and a total of 40,000 soldiers gathered at the border, intending to wait for the big party's Qingqi to attack again. Beat hard, let the opponent come and go!
However, when they really waited for the battle on this day, what appeared in front of them was a frenzied 50,000 army!
Among the 50,000 people, light cavalry accounted for only a small number, and there were more heavy cavalry, heavy crossbowmen, and heavy infantry!
The golden iron horse is indestructible!
As soon as Fang fought, it was like a huge black iron chariot, with crushing power, it overwhelmed the Tatar army formation like ground meat, destroying their careful planning!
The Tatars couldn't believe it. When did Wang Cheng, the general of Xinzhou, lead the army to fight like this?
Three whistles were sent to inquire before and after.
The first two waves were all smashed into the sand, and it was not until the third wave that people were lucky enough to bring back the news——
In the Xinzhou army, where is Wang Cheng?
The general who beat them to pieces this time and retreated steadily, his surname is Yan and his name is Lin, and the word for it is "Hui"!
Arrived as early as a month ago, and beheaded Wang Cheng, completed his control of military power with the blood of the old general, and then advanced today's frightening battle with the fastest speed!
The war has only lasted ten days, and the Tatar side is already feeling overwhelmed.
Even though Yanda was furious, he couldn't reverse the defeat that he had been at a disadvantage from the beginning by himself. On the eleventh day, he sent envoys to send a letter of peace to Yanlin, and mentioned the princess in his words If you are pregnant, you will give birth to the blood of the two countries, and you are responsible for the war.
Yan Linjian beheaded the envoy and sent the head back to the Tatar king's tent.
The so-called wolf ambition cannot be eradicated in a day.
If you want to stop those with evil intentions from causing trouble, it is really not enough to rely on words and a piece of paper or a book. Only by cutting off his claws and claws, stretching his muscles and bones, until the opponent hates, fears, and has no strength to fight back, can he live in peace for a day!
So in the future, he will hit it!
Not only continue to fight, but even harder than before!
The morale of the army is all played out.
Bloody all the way, all the way to fight, the momentum is like a rainbow, almost sweeping away the decadent state of the past!
On the twenty-second day of the eleventh month, a large army, like a yellow dragon, went straight to the court of the Tatar king, and the soldiers approached the city. Yan Lin's horse stopped in front of the king's tent, and the three-foot green peak reflected his young face, only facing the shivering people all over the ground. The Tatar royal family said a word: "Yan came here only to welcome the princess and return to court. When the princess is returned, our army will go on its own. Please don't panic."
What a "just to welcome the princess back to court"!
To the ears of the Tatars, it was like a slap on their face with a smile!
The opponent's army came all the way from Yanmen Pass, pulled out their city, killed their soldiers, and even trampled on the fallen king's banner with **** iron hooves!
Slap after slap to swell your face, then smile and say to you——
We just wanted to pick someone up.
It's really so light, so cruel and arrogant!
The battle at the border is in full swing, and there is such a big movement, it is naturally impossible for the news to cover it up. On the day when Yan Lin led his army to conquer the Tatar royal court, the news of the border crossed many obstacles, and finally arrived in the capital in a panic, and passed through the gates of the Forbidden City to the emperor's bedroom.
This fashion is in the long night.
There is the sound of copper leaking, and the fragrance of red sandalwood is strong.
Xiao Shu didn't sleep deeply. After serving Shen Lang and using Wushi San, although she also lay down on the dragon couch, she woke up when there was some movement outside.
The earth dragon was burned in the palace, which was very warm.
She put on a thin gown like a gauze and got up, brushed aside the gorgeous beaded curtain, Yuan Shan's black eyebrows were lightly frowned, in addition to the bright and graceful grace of the past, there was a little more majesty that only a beloved concubine could have. Even though she looks tired and lazy at the moment, who in Liugong doesn't know her methods? All who saw it bowed their heads.
Standing outside is Zheng Bao.
Wang Xinyi has grown old over the years, and many things have been entrusted to this apprentice. He is clever in his hands and feet, and has a delicate mind, which can be regarded as Wang Xinyi's true biography.
But Xiao Shu never cared much about this eunuch.
Afraid of disturbing Shen Lang, she came out and asked, "What's going on outside?"
Zheng Bao bowed and said, "Report to Madam, the frontier is an urgent report."
Xiao Shu raised her eyebrows abruptly: "Urgent report?"
As soon as Zheng Bao whispered the news from outside, her complexion changed, and she suddenly turned around to wake up Shen Lang who was on the dragon couch.
Within a moment, the urgent edict from the palace spread to all the ministers' residences.
The capital city in the quiet night was filled with the sound of **** and dogs barking for a while. Rich families and the Duke's Mansion were brightly lit. Official sedan chairs and carriages gathered towards the palace from all directions.
Shen Lang didn't even believe what he heard: "Yan Lin raised troops, so where is Mr. Xie?"
The messenger was trembling: "I heard that when Mr. Xie arrived in Dexinzhou, the thief had already taken control of the military power and sent someone to control Master Shaoshi and strictly guard him. But, but..."
There was a hostility on Shen Lang's face: "But what?"
He sent a message and kowtowed vigorously immediately: "However, there are also rumors in the market that Master Xie has evil intentions. After arriving in Xinzhou, he actually helped the bandits to rectify the military affairs, and he became rebellious!"
"presumptuous!"
Shen Lang has been taking Wushi Powder for nearly two years, and the potency of the previous dose of the medicine is in full swing, and when he is restless, hearing these words, he feels a surge of energy and blood rushing to the top of his forehead, making him feel sick. His eyes turned red instantly, he picked up the inkstone on the desk and smashed it down!
The fine Duan inkstone is extremely heavy.
The messenger was hit on the forehead, bleeding profusely, almost fainted from the pain, but he didn't even dare to wipe it, he kept on kneeling and begging for mercy.
Quite a number of court officials who had rushed over after receiving the urgent order were afraid to step into the palace after seeing this scene.
All of them knelt down outside the hall.
Shen Lang's gloomy voice rolled out of the dark hall with thunderous rage: "The treasury has not been moved, and the household department has not been moved. Since ancient times, the three armies have fought, and the focus has been on soldiers, horses, food and grass! It is his wolf ambition, holding the military power in his hand, whoever The entire country needs to be prepared for a war. Where can he raise enough money and food to attack the Tatars in a short while?! Could it be that the people in the household department are all dead, so they can hide the truth under my nose? !"
All the ministers heard the news of the border chaos for the first time, and they didn't even sort out the clues.
Originally, everyone thought that Xie Wei had gone, and everything was natural.
Who would have thought that even this imperial teacher of the current dynasty might now be a minion for a tiger, maybe he is the real culprit behind it!
At this moment, the emperor asked, how dare they speak out?
Inside and outside the hall, there was a moment of silence.
Shen Lang really got angrier the more he looked at it, wishing he could go down with an order to drag out all these wine bags and rice bags and cut them off!
Xiao Shu has already put on her palace attire.
She stood quietly by the side and watched for a long time, seeing that the ministers were silent, but her eyes couldn't help flickering coldly. After thinking for a while, she said softly: "My lord, the traitors of the Yan family raised troops at the border, but first went to attack the Tatars. It's quite strange and unreasonable. According to my concubine's humble opinion, there is no room for change. As for the food and grass needed by soldiers and horses, it is the most important thing."
Shen Lang's voice was cold: "Do you have an idea?"
Xiao Shu immediately knelt down on the ground, showing herself an attitude of absolute obedience.
However, what he said was rare and clear: "If there is no food and grass, the army will not be able to do it. If you can find out where the money and food for the thieves to raise their troops come from, and break their foundation, then you can make a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the pot. The concubine remembered that there was a man, Maybe you might know a thing or two."
All the ministers looked at her in surprise.
Even Shen Lang couldn't help being shocked: "Who?"
Xiao Shu raised her eyes and said decisively: "Jin Yiwei's deputy commander, Zhou Yinzhi!"
From the day when Yan Lin led the army to attack the Tatars, Jiang Xuening went outside the city every day to see the attack. He heard frequent news of success in the past few days, but there was no news of Shen Zhiyi for a long time. I always see the coffin escorted back by soldiers from the previous life.
That kind of tormented waiting is like begging that the guillotine of fate will not fall.
After living a new life, she saved You Fangyin, changed Yan Lin's experience, and even changed her own fate. Why can't she save Shen Zhiyi now?
She had reason to be hopeful enough.
Day after day, I opened the box containing the homeland of that year and looked at it over and over again.
Finally, the fast horses from the front came galloping on a moonlit night after snow, and the exhausted but excited soldiers passed the gate and came to her house, reporting to her in a hoarse voice: "Miss Ning Er , The general ordered that the Tartar royal court has been broken, and Her Royal Highness is safe and sound, and will arrive at Yanmen Pass tomorrow morning, please go and meet me!"
At that moment, Jiang Xuening suddenly got up and almost knocked over the box.
At the corner of the border tower, the moon shines on the silver snow, and it is as bright as day.
Xie Wei's car was waiting outside the city gate.
He was sitting in the car, but for some reason he untied the knife on his wrist and took a closer look. After a while, he asked, "Is she still here?"
