Chapter 212 Xiaozhang

When the war comes together, it's like weeds on a wilderness, with a slight spark, blown away by the wind and spreading like wildfire.

The war drum on a cold winter night is as fierce as thunder!

Startled by the beautiful dreams of the Tatars preparing for war, their long spears and sharp blades plunged their blood into the cold permafrost. As the pale and desolate morning sun scattered its radiance across the earth, it shone with one cold blush after another.

The light cavalry moves at the fastest speed, while the crossbow soldiers are hidden among the light infantry and covered by their wings. The rain of arrows in the sky flew away long before the Tatar soldiers approached, shooting down countless warhorses and cavalry in the formation.

A person fell from a horse, and the horse howled and fell to the ground.

Later ones may be bound by it, avoid it too quickly, and collide head-on; Or react quickly and adjust the formation towards both sides, but it is inevitable to be scattered like an ant colony. The formation that was originally purged was almost immediately torn open from the middle.

Yan Lin stood at the height of the chariot to watch, made a decisive decision, and ordered the drummer to change the drumbeat and change the marching order. The cavalry set off from both wings and immediately surrounded the enemy's attacking camp; The heavy infantry, wielding swords and shields, thrust like a long spear from the weak point where the opponent had already torn apart. The arrows of the crossbowman no longer flew into the sky, but at the same time covered the heavy infantry advancing towards the opponent's formation!

The majority of the troops selected for this attack on the Tatars were fast-moving, and Yan Lin's orders were decisive without hesitation. The sudden and unexpected changes truly caught the Tatars off guard.

It's too late for the opposing generals to realize——

On the right flank of the Tatar army, there were four to five thousand people, watching as they were cut off and separated from the main force of the army amidst the encirclement of light cavalry and the advance of heavy infantry!

And the light infantry on the side of Da Qian have long been waiting for them!

The sound of shouting to kill has stopped!

===Kunning Section 262===

How can a mere four or five thousand people fall into a tight encirclement, even if they struggle and fight relentlessly, to withstand the advantages of the numbers and types of troops on the side of Da Qian? And falling into the encirclement of the enemy, there was already a place of panic, and a fierce attack attacked, causing everyone to be overwhelmed!

The victory of all wars starts with a small initial advantage, seizing opportunities, and rolling down like a snowball.

Every penny, every foot, every zhang.

In the situation of being prepared but unprepared for an attack, the young general showed astonishing composure and decisiveness, without any slackness due to his inherent advantages, and even without any greed for achievements.

The initial confrontation resulted in a loss of four to five thousand people, which was already a huge loss for the Tatars.

After several changes in formation, the opponent never suffered a heavy blow.

If we had to engage in a bloody battle with Da Qian at this time, it would undoubtedly be overwhelming and disregard the overall situation. So after launching a rapid charge, the Tatars immediately withdrew their troops and ordered all their soldiers to retreat to their own border fortresses.

Many of the generals on the side of Da Qian were excited, almost able to see their military achievements right in front of them. They imagined how they would increase their ranks and rank after defeating the Tatars. They immediately recommended Yan Lin to take advantage of the victory and chase after them, beating the water dogs with pain, and with one go, annihilating the flame of the Tatars, so that they knew that Da Qian was still the same one. Da Qian's iron hooves were what they should fear.

Unexpectedly, Yan Lin ignored it.

After a few orders, without any hesitation, I ordered to withdraw my troops and return to the camp!

It is inevitable that some people in the military will criticize.

However, even if they had objections, they could not stop Yan Lin's sudden rise in prestige and influence in the army, let alone the fact that the allocation of grain and grass in the army had already been replaced by Lv Xian's people, who were obedient to Yan Lin's words and had no power to speak and dispatch others.

There's no food or supplies, what are we fighting for?

Even if you have 11000 grievances in your stomach, you can only endure gritting your teeth and swallow them. When discussing in the camp, you have to bow down to this young general!

In the first battle, a surprise attack was as fast as lightning.

In the following days, this tactic was even more extreme, constantly sending troops to harass, but without being forcefully suppressed by the army, they only pecked at the enemy's flesh and blood like eagles hunting, weakening their strength time and time again.

At the same time, efforts are being intensified to urge the remaining troops in the camp to undergo training.

The most painful thing is cutting meat with a blunt knife.

After only three attempts, the Tatar side had already seen the other party's intentions clearly. On the fourth attempt, Wang Ting sent reinforcements, and a total of 40000 soldiers gathered at the border. They planned to wait for the light cavalry of the Da Qian side to perform their old skills again and hit them head-on, leaving the other party with no return!

However, when the battle broke out on this day, a frenzy of 50000 soldiers appeared in front of them!

Among these 50000 people, only a small number are light cavalry, while the majority are heavy cavalry, heavy crossbow soldiers, and heavy infantry!

Jin Ge Tie Ma, indestructible!

When Fang Yi engaged in battle, he was like a massive black iron chariot, crushing and crushing the power of the Tatar's army, crushing their carefully planned destruction!

The Tatar side couldn't believe it. When did the general Wang Cheng of Xinzhou lead his troops in battle and become so powerful?

Three scouts were dispatched to inquire.

The first two waves were shattered, and it wasn't until the third wave that they managed to bring back the news——

Where else is Wang Cheng in the Xinzhou Army?

The general who defeated them and suffered successive defeats this time, surnamed Yan and named Lin, with the single character "Hui"!

As early as a month ago, he had already taken office and beheaded Wang Cheng. He used the blood of his old generals to complete his control of military power, and then advanced today's chilling battle at the fastest speed!

The war had only lasted for ten days, and the Tatars were already feeling overwhelmed.

Even if Yanda was furious, he could not reverse the defeat that had been at a disadvantage from the beginning with his own efforts. On the eleventh day, he sent an envoy to deliver a peace letter to Yan Lin. In his words, he also mentioned that the princess was pregnant and would give birth to the bloodline of the two countries, which was not appropriate for the war.

Yan Linjian beheaded the envoy and sent the head back to the Tartar King's tent.

The so-called ambition of a wolf cannot be erased in a day.

If we want to stop malicious people from causing trouble, relying solely on words and a piece of paper and a book is not enough to be trusted. Only by cutting off its claws and teeth, pulling out its muscles and bones, and hitting the opponent to the point where they hate, fear, and have no strength to fight back, can they have a peaceful day!

So next, he will continue to hit without fail!

Not only continue to fight, but also fight even harder than before!

The morale in the military is all achieved through fighting.

Bathing in blood all the way, fighting all the way, with a magnificent momentum, it's like sweeping away the previous state of decadence!

On November 22nd, the army of Da Qian, like a yellow dragon, marched straight towards the Tartar royal court, facing the city. Yan Lin's warhorses stopped in front of the king's tent, and the three foot green peak reflected his young face. He only said to the trembling Tartar royal family on the ground, "Yan came here to welcome the princess and return to court. When we welcome the princess back, our army will go on its own. Please don't panic."

What a "just to welcome the princess and return to court"!

To the ears of the Tatars, it was like slapping them in the face with a smile!

The enemy's army came all the way from within the Yanmen Pass, uprooted their cities, killed their soldiers, and even trampled on the fallen king's flag with blood stained iron hooves!

One slap, one slap swollen your face, and then smiled and said to you——

We just want to pick someone up.

How cool and arrogant it is!

*

The border war is in full swing, and the news of the breaking of bamboo by soldiers cannot be contained in such a big commotion. On the day when Yan Lin led his army to conquer the Tartar royal court, the news of the border went through numerous obstacles, and finally, in all kinds of panic, they arrived in the capital, passed through the numerous gates of the Forbidden City, and arrived at the Emperor's sleeping hall.

This fashion is on long nights.

The sound of a copper leak, the fragrance of purple sandalwood is strong.

Xiao Shu didn't sleep deeply. After serving Shen Lang and using Wu Shi San, although she also lay down on the dragon bed, there was a slight movement outside and she woke up.

The palace burned a dragon, warm and cozy.

She draped herself in a thin veil and stood up, brushing open the magnificent pearl curtain. The distant mountain Daimei frowned lightly, adding a touch of grandeur to her former beauty and grace. Even though she looks tired and lazy at this moment, who in the Six Palaces knows her methods? Everyone who sees it lowers their head.

The attendant outside is Zheng Bao.

Wang Xinyi has gradually aged over the years, and many things have been entrusted to this disciple. He is clever in his hands and feet, with a keen mind, and can also be considered a true biography of Wang Xinyi. He knows the emperor's preferences well, so he gradually gained the holy heart.

However, Xiao Shu has never cared much about this eunuch.

She was afraid of disturbing Shen Lang, so she walked out and asked, "What's going on outside?"

Zheng Bao bowed and said, "Report to Madam, the border is urgent."

Xiao Shu raised her eyebrows sharply and said, "Urgent report?"

Zheng Bao whispered the news from outside, and her face changed. She suddenly turned around and woke up Shen Lang on the dragon couch.

In no time, an urgent edict from the palace was transmitted to the offices of various ministers.

In the quiet night of the capital, for a moment, the sound of roosters crowing and dogs barking was heard. The wealthy families, nobles and nobles, and their mansions were brightly lit, with one top official sedan chair and one carriage converging towards the palace from all directions.

Shen Lang even couldn't believe what he had heard: "Yan Lin has risen up, where is Mr. Xie?"

The messenger trembled and said, "It has been rumored that when Mr. Xie arrived in Xinzhou, the thief had already taken control of the military power and sent someone to control the young master and strictly monitor him. However,..."

"But what?" said Shen Lang with a fierce expression on his face

The messenger immediately kowtowed and said, "However, there are also rumors in the community that Master Xie has ulterior motives. After arriving in Xinzhou, he even helped the bandits rectify their military affairs, which also led to rebellion!"

"Bold!"

Shen Lang has been taking Wushi San for nearly two years now. The first one was full of medicinal power and was restless. When he heard this, he felt a surge of Qi and blood rushing towards the top of his forehead, making him instantly red eyed. He picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it down!

A top-quality inkstone is extremely heavy.

The messenger was hit on the forehead, bleeding profusely and in pain, almost fainting. However, he dared not even wipe it and knelt down begging for mercy.

Many court officials who rushed upon urgent orders dared not step into the palace when they saw this scene.

Everyone knelt down outside the hall one by one.

Shen Lang's gloomy voice, with thunderous anger, rolled out of the dark hall: "The treasury has not yet been established, and the Ministry of Revenue has not moved. Since ancient times, the three armies have fought, and the emphasis has been on troops, horses, and food and supplies! Even if he is ambitious and holds military power, he must use all his strength to prepare for any battle. Where can he raise enough money and food to attack the Tatars for a moment and a half?! Is it possible that the people of the Ministry of Revenue have all died, and can they hide from the world under my watchful eyes?"

All the officials have just heard the news of the chaos at the border, and they haven't even sorted out their thoughts.

Originally, everyone felt that Xie Wei had gone, and everything was naturally in order.

Who would have thought that even this current imperial teacher could be the real culprit behind the scenes, and now he could be the mastermind behind it!

At this moment, I heard the emperor questioning, how dare they speak up?

Inside and outside the main hall, there was a moment of silence.

Shen Lang was really getting angrier and angrier as he looked at it. He wished he could give an order to drag out all these wine bags and rice bags and chop them off!

Xiao Shu has already put on palace attire.

She stood still on the side for a long time, seeing that the courtiers were silent, but her eyes couldn't help but flicker with cold light. After considering for a moment, she whispered, "Your Highness, the Yan family bandits raised troops at the border, but first attacked the Tatars. This move is quite strange and unreasonable. According to my concubines and concubines' ignorance, there is not no room for turning things around. As for the food and forage needed for the soldiers and horses, it is of utmost importance."

Shen Lang's voice was icy cold: "Do you have any ideas?"

Xiao Shu immediately knelt down on the ground, showing an absolutely submissive posture.

However, what was said was rare and clear: "If there is no food and forage, the army cannot. If we can find out where the money and food for the bandits to raise troops come from, and cut off their foundation, we can achieve a plan to cut corners. If my concubine remembers one person, she may be afraid to know one or two."

The courtiers all looked at her in surprise.

Even Shen Lang couldn't help but be shocked: "Who?"

Xiao Shu raised her eyes and said decisively, "Deputy Commander of the Royal Guards, Zhou Yinzhi!"

*

From the day Yan Lin led his army to attack the Tatars, Jiang Xuening went outside the city every day to see them. He had heard many good news in the past few days, but there was no news of Shen Zhiyi for a long time. In his nighttime dreams, he couldn't help but see the coffin escorted back by the previous generation of soldiers.

The agonizing wait is like begging fate not to let go of the guillotine.

She saved You Fangyin, changed Yan Lin's fate, and even changed her own life. Why can't she save Shen Zhiyi now?

She has reason to hold enough hope.

Day after day, I opened the box containing my former homeland and looked at it again and again.

At last, the fast horse from the front came running at full speed on a moonlit night after snow. Tired but excited soldiers crossed the gate and came to her house. In a hoarse voice, they reported to her: "Miss Ning Er, send the general's order. The Tartar court has been broken. Your Royal Highness Royal Highness Princess is safe and will arrive at Yanmen Pass tomorrow morning. Please go to meet him!"

At that moment, Jiang Xuening suddenly stood up and almost knocked over the box.

At the corner of the border city tower, the moon shines on silver and snow, as bright as day.

Xie Wei's car was waiting outside the city gate.

The other person was sitting in the car, but for some reason, he untied the knife in his wrist and looked at it carefully. After a while, he asked, "hasn't she come yet?"
