Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 968
It was obviously getting warmer, but suddenly there was another blizzard.The unpredictable nature of Tianwei can be seen.

Outside Longmen County, an army of more than a thousand people appeared far away.They marched quickly in the snow, exhaling white steam continuously from their mouths and noses, with complete armor and equipment, and serious expressions.

When he got to the back, he suddenly let out a cry, quickened his pace and rushed up.

"Fuck you!"

"Dogs are not timid!"

"kill!"

"The Jin thief will die!"

The two sides strangled together, not giving in to each other, and fighting against each other.

Longmen Ling Wang Kang stood at the top of the city, staring at the battlefield outside the city without blinking.

The weather changed drastically last night, it snowed all night, stopped for a while in the morning, and fell again at noon. Snow piles blocked the valleys, rivers, and fields, and the land was completely white.

The steaming blood splattered on the white snow, and the shouts echoed endlessly in the wilderness, almost overwhelming the whimpering north wind.

More than [-] sergeants from both sides fought hand to hand in the knee-high snow.Their movements looked very clumsy and a little funny, but the level of tragedy did not allow a real battle.

Wang Kang felt goosebumps all over his body.

A real fight between warriors is much more shocking than a rivalry between youths in the countryside or a rivalry among Zhang families in the city.

When the swords met, he really saw sparks.

There was no extra movement, and the first priority was to kill the enemy on the opposite side.

Even though the severe cold and snow had affected his actions, he always felt that those warriors were more brave and quicker than the county's Xiangyong when they killed people.

Reminiscing that he hadn't really practiced martial arts for seven or eight years, Wang Kang sighed.Of the more than 2000 people in the city, he couldn't deal with any of them.

"Beat the drums at the top of the city, open the city gates and fight." Wang Kang watched for a while, and saw that Xia and Jin sides kept falling, but they were still deadlocked, so he immediately ordered.

"There are only [-] townspeople in the city. If you lose the battle and return, the city may not be able to survive." The county captain reminded.

Longmen County actually has county town soldiers, a total of about a thousand people, but mainly in Longmen Cang.

This is a granary directly under the Si Nong Temple, which can store 12 hu of grain.The expansion was carried out in the past few years, and the storage capacity was doubled. There will be more than [-] dendrobiums of grain and beans and [-] bundles of hay. It is a relatively important grain base, so the county soldiers are stationed there.

"I guess the Jin thieves are only going south to test, and they won't die here. After the battle drums at the top of the city are beaten, the city gates will be opened wide, and the thieves will panic and flee when the bravery of the village comes out. Hurry up, there must be no mistakes!" Wang said. Kang ordered.

"Of order." The county lieutenant saluted with fists cupped and left in a hurry.

After a while, the battle drums on the top of the city rumbled.The south gate was wide open, and 300 people, led by the county lieutenant, rushed out with shouts, stepped on the thick snow, and flanked the Jin soldiers.

Xiangyong had never been in battle, and his combat experience was not rich enough. He didn't allocate his physical strength reasonably during the charge, and he walked halfway, panting and exhausted in the snow.

But their battle still produced excellent results. The Jin people were shocked psychologically. In addition, Xia Bing in front of him was very difficult to deal with. His subordinates had real kung fu and their fighting spirit was still very determined. Under the attack, some people recoiled, and most fled backwards.

On the vast snow field, the pursuit battle started again.

Looking from the top of the city, one after another black shadows were wriggling on the white snow, fleeing and chasing after each other, stretching out for several miles.

The county lieutenant was very excited, and the 300 people summoned their courage and chased after him for a while, and achieved a record of beheading more than ten levels, which is very good.

At the beginning of Shenshi, the army stopped pursuing and returned to Longmen County one after another.When it was getting dark, Yang Yi, deputy envoy of the Jinglue Army, also arrived with follow-up troops. After hearing that more than a hundred prisoners had been captured, he immediately conducted an interrogation.

"Judging from your accent, you should be from Yan, right?" Yang Yi asked with her legs crossed on the table, playing with a sharp knife with both hands.

"Exactly. People from Wen'an, Mozhou." Jiang Ren has already been dealt with severely, and his face is covered with blood. He will answer all questions, and ask straightforwardly.

"Among the Jin army, are there many Yan people?" Yang Yi asked.

"A lot. The king of Jin recruited soldiers in Youzhou, and the soldiers and their families moved to Taiyuan. It has been several years."

"What army do you belong to?"

"Fei Teng Army."

Yang Yi sat up straight, and said angrily: "Where did the Feiteng Army come from? Why haven't I heard of it before? Could it be that they are lying to me?"

Jiang Ren was not frightened, and still knelt there with the same expression, saying: "In recent years, King Jin has vigorously reorganized the army and created many pro-armies, such as the Feiteng Army, the Guards Golden Spear Straight, the Huangjia Army in front of the hall, and scattered members. Army, Khitan Zhi, Zuo Shejun, etc., it is common for generals not to know."

After hearing this, Yang Yi nodded slowly, as if she agreed with Jiang Ren's words, and at the same time secretly complained about Li Ke's level of naming.

"How many people are there in the Feiteng Army? Who is the general?" He asked again.

"There are more than [-] infantry troops and [-] cavalry troops. The envoy is Li Sibi."

"This time going south, what troops are there?"

"I don't know about that." The descendant replied, "I only know that Kuang Ba's army went south, with four thousand infantry and more than a thousand cavalry, and the envoy Li Chengsi."

"Not honest, call me!" Yang Yi stood up and said angrily.

After all, he left the room and inspected several other interrogation places.

In this encounter with the Jin army, more than [-] people were beheaded and hundreds of people were captured.According to the news obtained by torture, it should be part of the Feiteng Army from Jin Dynasty.

Yang Yi couldn't figure out which unit the Feiteng Army was originally from the Jin Army and what its historical origins were, and he didn't bother to figure it out.He only knew that this was Li Sibi's army, and Li Sibi was the son of Li Keyong's younger brother Kexiu.

They went all the way south from the direction of Cizhou, as the leading troops, came to explore the way, and waited for the opportunity to capture Longmen County and Longmen Cang.

Cizhou should not have fallen yet.

This is a small county and weak state that is poorer than Xizhou and has a smaller population.The five counties have a population of about [-]. There are few fields and mountains in the territory. It is a typical backcountry.

Yang Yi was a little anxious. Lu Huaizhong sent him north just to find out the enemy's strength and deployment.

According to the news obtained before, the thieves came to Kuangba and Wansheng with more than [-] troops, and this time there was a Feiteng army with [-] troops. So how many troops are hidden in the mountains to the north, and where are they?
Certainly not too much, the local supply is limited, and the transportation of food and grass is difficult, but if the Jin army does not exceed [-], it can still be barely supported.

Gotta keep going north!Get in touch with the enemy and fight with them, otherwise it is impossible to figure out the deployment of their troops.

Yang Yi had a clear understanding and immediately summoned Wang Kang, the county magistrate.

"Magistrate Wang was born in the Longmen Wang family, right?" Yang Yi asked.

"Exactly." Wang Kang replied.

"You judge the situation at the top of the city, and make a decisive decision, that's good." Yang Yi praised.

At a critical moment, it is not easy to make a decision to invest the only capital on hand in gambling.Normally, when the two armies are fighting outside the city, the county magistrate will guard behind closed doors. If his side wins, he will go out of the city to comfort him. If his side loses, he will recruit strong men and women to defend the city.

There are not many people who can have subjective initiative.

"It is still the generals of the Economic Strategy Army who are used to fighting. The Jin bandits seem to be very brave, and we will definitely not be able to do it." Wang Kang said.

"I don't care about this for now." Yang Yi reached out her hand to stop the topic, and said, "The Jin thieves went south to Cixi and plundered wantonly. The county magistrate Wang should know about this, right?"

"Understood." Wang Kang nodded and said: "There are states and counties in Cizhou who fled southward. There are always dozens of them. I asked them. Jin soldiers can really be regarded as thieves."

"That's good." Yang Yi said with a smile: "This time we go north, we only have [-] soldiers, which is not enough. The terrain of Cizhou is complicated, and there are countless trails in the mountains. I don't know where the bandit soldiers will come from. , can only go up along the road. This matter of army supplies, I will trouble the king."

"Don't worry, General Yang, I will order the Longmen warehouse to open the warehouse to release grain. First, we will take [-] hu of grain and [-] bundles of hay. You don't have to worry about transporting men and women. The county has recruited a large number of people ten days ago and gathered in the Longmen warehouse city. People are ready-made." Wang Kang replied.

"Okay!" Yang Yi said happily, and after a pause, he said: "In addition, I have heard that the Wang family of Longmen has a lot of fields and fields, and there are many trilogy and village guests. You might as well gather more trilogy, distribute equipment, and train , may be of great use."

Wang Kang hesitated for a while, this is to take out the family property of the Longmen Wang family.

"County Wang is confused." Yang Yi said: "If the Jin army goes south to Longmen, what will they do? Don't they plunder for your Wang's sake?"

"Let's talk about it..." At this point, Yang Yi's face suddenly changed, and she was no longer the gentle look before, and said with a sneer: "In today's troubled times, I still don't want to part with my three melons and two dates. Both sides of the rat. Lu Du has a kind heart and is polite to them. General Guan will not accept this. Hurry back and send a message. If it is too late, General Guan will be furious, and Wang will have to peel off his skin if he is not dead."

Wang Kang's face changed suddenly, but he didn't dare to say much, he cupped his hands and left.

The Wang family of Longmen is a powerful family and a local snake.In the time of Qingping and prosperity, naturally no one would dare to provoke him.But in this world right now, warriors don't care so much, disobedience is the fate of exterminating the clan, there is no need to discuss it.

Of course Wang Kang knew this.After leaving the barracks, he hurried back to the county government office, found a confidant old servant, and asked him to pass the message back to the clan.

I'm in a bad mood, of course.At the same time, I also sighed. Since the end of the Jin Dynasty and the Northern Dynasties, neither Hu Bing nor Han generals have been able to do anything to them, the local clans with Wubao and tribes. I don't know what kind of evil I got.

Wang Kang was secretly angry over there, while Yang Yi had told the sergeants to have a good rest.Tomorrow he will continue northward, heading towards Jichang County, Cizhou Lisuo.

Lu Dutou's order was to test the Jin army.This so-called test is not only a test of its combat effectiveness, but also includes the number of troops, where they are deployed, who the main general is, and so on.

You can't get any news if you stay at the Longmen, and the enemy will not stay in one place, you have to meet face to face to know.As for the thieves with more than [-] soldiers, their strength is far superior to that of his team, so I'm afraid of a bird!Call first.The thieves are not supercilious, everyone fights face to face, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.

On the fourth day of March, the snow that had been falling for two days finally stopped.

Yang Yi led his troops to leave Longmen and head north.At the same time, the 5000 main force of the Economic Strategy Army also arrived at Baoding County at the northern end of Puzhou, and was about to leave the state boundary and enter the southern border of Longmen County in Jiangzhou.

Lu Huaizhong personally led the left wing of the Wuwei Army back to Jinjiang for training, while the right wing received an order to march westward in the direction of Cizhou.

So far, the Xia army gathered in the west of Jiangzhou will reach more than [-] people.

The 2 black army, used as a surprise soldier, passed Zhongtiao Mountain and quietly arrived in Anyi.
