Reverse Junhou

Chapter 50 Telling the Heart [7]

Jing Yanglin struggled to get up from the couch, Zhao Fengci and Zhai Mo rushed forward to help, but the old general stopped him with a wave.

He leaned against the stone wall, let out a breath slowly, "Ci'er, get closer to grandfather."

Zhao Fengci took off his light fur, strode forward, and took his grandfather's callused hand.

"Grandfather, Ci'er is too late to help." Zhao Fengci knelt in front of the couch, resting his forehead on Jing Yanglin's palm.

This is the posture he used to do when he was coquettish when he was young.From childhood to adulthood, General Zhenbei has always been very demanding on him.The sergeants were all at the crowing of cocks, but his grandfather called him to the court to dance with guns and clubs before five o'clock every day.Whenever Zhao Fengci was exhausted and fell to the ground profusely with sweat, his grandfather would put his palm against his forehead to let the stubborn cub rest for a while before getting up and practicing again.

Jing Yanglin leaned over and coughed a few times, sighed: "Grandpa is old after all."

Thinking of Emperor Jingyang's disappointed expression in the palace, Zhao Fengci's eyes dimmed slightly.

General Zhenbei has fought on horseback for more than [-] years, and has led his troops to repel the invading Hu tribe three times. He is a well-deserved general of the country.Once the dynasty was defeated, the imperial court forgot Jing Yanglin's meritorious service and blamed him for the failure of guarding the pass.

Zhai Mo presented a map of the northern border state and spread it out in front of the general's bed.Jingyang Lin strengthened his spirits, pointed to the black dot symbolizing Yunzhou, and said, "Yu Chishuo first launched a night attack on the pass half a month ago. The army has more than [-] people. The delay of the fighter plane that night allowed Yu Chishuo to break through the tower and enter Yunzhou City."

Zhao Fengci's heart ached, Dafu had never allowed Hu Bu to enter Yandang Pass since the founding of the dynasty, and now that Yu Chishuo had entered the pass under the watchful eyes of his grandfather, his grandfather might be ashamed for the rest of his life.

"When I received the urgent report, I rushed to the pass overnight and led the Yunzhou garrison to fight Yuchishuo's army head-on. After fighting for two days and two nights, I finally forced the troops of the Yanqu tribe to retreat outside the pass. There were heavy casualties during the raid, and more than half of the damage was lost. Seeing that the defenders are not strong enough, the old thief Yuchi would lead his troops up the pass every few days." Jingyang Lin paused, "If the imperial court's reinforcements do not arrive, the remaining soldiers and horses may last But next raid."

Zhao Fengci pointed his finger at Yubeikou along the sixteen prefectures in the northern border: "I can lead the Yulin Army to advance along the pass to resist the strong attack of the Yanqu tribe, and wait for the Zhenbei garrison to turn back, so as to launch a counterattack. Grandfather, the main force of Zhenbei How long will it take for the army to reach Yunzhou?"

Hearing this, Jing Yanglin closed his eyes and did not answer for a long time.Zhai Mo said behind him: "Your Highness, since three days ago at Yandang Pass...there has been no trace of the Zhenbei Army."

Zhao Fengci was surprised: "Why?"

"The Yanqu tribe slaughtered all the defenders of Pingcheng Pass, and extinguished the beacon fire from Pingcheng to Yandang Pass. The main force of Zhenbei marched to Angan County and disappeared. The general was worried that the Zhenbei army could not find the beacon to identify the position, and was lost in the wind outside the Great Wall. In the snow."

Zhao Fengci shuddered, and the northern border was covered with ice. If the Zhenbei Army lost its way in the blizzard, it might be in a desperate situation.If you take the opportunity to be encircled and suppressed by the Yanqu tribe halfway, it will be bad luck.

No wonder he didn't see the Liantian Peak Fire at Yandang Pass when he led his army northward.

"How many people from the Yanqu tribe are there in Pingchengguan?" Zhao Fengci asked.

Jing Yanglin coughed a few times, and replied, "More than five thousand, less than ten thousand."

Seeing the determination flash in his elder grandson's eyes, he instantly understood Zhao Fengci's thoughts: "Ci'er——"

"Grandfather, Uncle Zhai." Zhao Fengci stood up, "If the troops stationed in the north of the town make any mistakes, the doctor will have no chance of winning this battle. I will leave [-] forest troops to garrison Yandang Pass, and take the rest of the troops to forcibly climb the Qianli Changyuan. Light the beacon towers along the way."

It is indeed the only hope for the Zhenbei Army to rekindle the wolf smoke to identify the main force.Jing Yanglin didn't say much, but just reached out and pressed his eldest grandson's shoulder: "Do you still remember the promise you made to me when you were 14 years old when you first went to war?"

"Being loyal to the king, bring back thousands of riders." Zhao Fengci clasped his fists together, "In the past ten years, my grandson has never dared to forget a single day."

"General, the young master has really grown up." Seeing Zhao Fengci walking away, Zhai Mo said to Jing Yanglin.

Jing Yanglin stared at Zhao Fengci's receding back: "He has never let me down."

*****

The Changyuan in northern Xinjiang begins with Yandang Pass and ends at Pingcheng Pass in the west, stretching for thousands of miles without end.

The overwhelming blizzard swept across the entire northern border, and a long line of thousands of people set off from Yandang Pass and rushed against the wind and snow.The sergeants are all dressed in dark furs, cotton wool felt hats, and long arrows with silver spikes in their hands.From a distance, it looks like a pack of wolves hunting in winter.

The beacon tower closest to Yandang Pass is located on the towering mountains [-] miles away, faintly visible in the vast wind and snow.The spies sent by the Habayashi Army reported that there were hundreds of Hu soldiers on the beacon tower.

Zhao Fengci got on his horse and sternly said: "All generals obey orders!"

"exist!"

"The first 200 people, follow me to take this place directly. Wait for the beacon fire tower to come together, and wait for 200 people to form a battalion, ten miles to form a battalion, and take them one by one along the long wall."

"Ten liyan set up one, immediately rush to other places, and make a quick decision without delay." Zhao Fengci raised his long sword, "Go!"

"Yes!"

With the long sword unsheathed at his waist, Zhao Fengci led 200 people in the front, rushed out from the Yulin army, and went straight to the high ground on the mausoleum.

The Yanqu tribe all thought that the defenders at the pass were at the end of their battles.Hundreds of barbarian soldiers staying on the beacon tower heard the shouts coming from the slope, and then they knew that the defenders were attacking, and hurriedly transported rockets and crossbows from the fort to fight.Before the military drum that conveyed the signal on the beacon tower sounded, Zhao Fengci rode his horse and galloped into the barbarian crowd, wiping the neck of the drummer with his sword.

The Habayashi Army then rushed up to the beacon tower with His Highness the Fifth Highness, and fought fiercely with the soldiers of the Yanqu tribe.Zhao Fengci couldn't hear the wind and snow whistling in his ears, but felt that everything he saw was blood red.He pierced more than a dozen tall and strong barbarians standing in front of him one after another, holding a blood-soaked long sword, and strode towards the high platform.

Zhao Fengci wiped away a trace of blood on his cheek with a flick of his sleeve, and ignited a flint in the cold wind.

The Habayashi soldiers under the long wall stood in the heavy snow and waited.I don't know who was the first to yell out: "The flames are burning!"

All the soldiers looked up, and saw the first beacon fire from the beacon tower in the distance in the snowstorm.

Immediately afterwards, another 200 people rode out from the team and galloped towards the next beacon tower.The second battalion, the third battalion... Yandang Pass meanders down, and the beacon towers are ignited one after another, burning like stars, stretching endlessly.

Zhao Fengci couldn't count how many high platforms he had galloped over on horseback, the cold north wind ravaged his battle armor and brushed his cheeks.His whole body was in extreme cold, only his heart was warm.

There is kept his token of love.

The garrison of the Yanqu Department in Pingchengguan began to fight back after reacting, but it was too late.Within two days, the Habayashi Army crossed thousands of miles of snow without rest, and lit hundreds of beacon towers at Yandang Pass.

On the 19th, the army of the Yanqu tribe approached the Yandang pass. The pass received a report from the garrison in the north of the town. The main force had bypassed Angan County and was near Qiuning Road, and was returning immediately.

The flames of war are everywhere, and the flames of war are raging in the sky, lighting up the way home for the soldiers in Zhenbei.

Zhao Fengci and the Yulin Army turned back to Yandang Pass, and General Zhenbei led the generals to go down to the tower to meet him in person.

Jing Yanglin's complexion was still a little pale, but he was wearing the highest standard armor.Supported by Zhai Mo, he walked slowly to Zhao Fengci.

The grandparents and grandchildren don't need to talk too much, their hearts are connected.Jing Yanglin patted Zhao Fengci's armor: "Good boy. The smell of blood is all over his body. It will kill him. Hurry up and wash it off."

Zhao Fengci looked down at the blood stains on his body: "The soldiers haven't washed, so I don't care about it."

Jingyang Lin laughed angrily: "You are so handsome for nothing, why are you so sloppy. No wonder you have been in Guangyang for so many years, but no girls still think highly of you."

Zhao Fengci touched the tip of his nose, a little embarrassed: "I already have a sweetheart in Beijing."

As soon as these words came out, all the generals of Zhenbei Mansion exploded.

Their indifferent major generals actually became enlightened in the big dye vat of Guangyang Capital.

The Yanqu tribe lost the beacon tower of Yandang Pass, and in the past few days it has died down and retreated a hundred miles outside the pass.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Habayashi Army began to build defensive posts along the Yandang Pass.

In the dead of night, Zhao Fengci went up to the gate tower of the pass alone, lay on the haystack on the roof, and looked at the night sky with bright moon and few stars.

He was stunned for a long while, and put the blue silk tied with red string under the moon for a closer look.

To him, Wen Xuechao is like a bright moon in the sky, and flowers in the water.For some reason, Zhao Fengci always felt that Wen Xuechao was so close to him, yet seemed far away.It can be touched, but it seems to break when touched.

There is a voice in my heart clamoring, wanting to own him completely.

It's not a moment of greed and joy under the moon and flowers before the flowers, nor is it the infinite lovesickness in the depths of the fence, but long-term remembrance, life and death.

When he rushed into the enemy's camp in blood, all the country, the country, and the destiny belonged to nothing in his heart.

If one day he needs to use the tiger talisman in his hand, he is willing to go to the high platform for Wen Xuechao.

*****

Ten days later, the heavy snow stopped, and the main force in Zhenbei finally arrived at Yandang Pass.

With the addition of the Habayashi Army, the Yandangguan army has nearly 5 people.The Zhenbei Mansion convened all the generals to discuss the matter, and decided to divide the Yulin Army, the Pass Guards and the Zhenbei Garrison into three groups of troops in the middle, west, and east, and launched a counterattack against the Yanqu Department, taking this opportunity to completely drive the Hu people out of the pass.

In just half a month, the Zhenbei Army reversed the situation at Yandang Pass.Everyone in the army lamented that His Highness the Fifth Highness has contributed a lot.

Zhao Fengci also seized the opportunity to rectify the troops, trying to beat the Yanqu tribe to the point where they could not fight back.After this battle, Hu's department must be severely injured, and he will not dare to make any further moves in the near future, and the northern border may be stable for a few years.

What's more, there is someone waiting for him to come home.

When the counter-offensive began, the remaining soldiers of the Yanqu tribe were not successful, and most of them were beaten to pieces by the Zhenbei Army and fled around outside the pass.After Zhao Fengci led the Yulin Army to break up, he captured all the Hu soldiers who had escaped from the main force.

Zhenbei fought against Yanqu, a great victory.

After clearing the battlefield, the three armies returned to Yandang Pass, and were about to arrive at Ce Xun in Yunzhou Mansion, when they saw Zhao Fengci walking to the front of the team with a cold face, holding a captive's collar.The captive trembled and curled up in terror.

All the generals saw that the fifth hall was frosty, but they didn't know what happened.

Zhao Fengci tore off the light armor of the prisoner.The man wrapped in the light armor was frail, skinny, with distinct ribs, how could he look like a strong barbarian soldier?

"Unload all the captives' clothes and check them one by one," Zhao Fengci said in a deep voice.

After a while, all the prisoners in the arena were stripped off.Shivering in the cold wind, they were all frightened and thin figures.There were even a few women in the crowd, who were sobbing naked.Zhao Fengci's face froze, and he asked Zhenbei Army to put on clothes for them.

"These people are not barbarians, they are all refugees who should have fled south." Just listen to Zhao Feng's resignation.

The blood on Zhai Mo's face faded instantly.

The refugees who were supposed to flee to the south appeared outside the pass disguised as Yanqu Hu people. Where did the refugees who flooded into the important areas of Gyeonggi come from?

"Guangyang is in danger." Zhai Mo murmured.

The author has something to say: Brother Xian loves writing war plots hahaha, the song I listened to when writing this chapter is "This Day, and Never Again"~
