Chapter 33 Guns and Arrows

"Woo! …… Woo! Woo! ”

"Woo! …… Woo! Woo! ”

When night fell, the heavens and the earth were silent, and a desolate horn suddenly sounded in the Tibetan Soldier Valley of Xiao Pass, and the sound shook the four fields, like crying and crying, just like a wolf king calling his subordinates, that was the howl of hunting, that was the horn of the expedition!

As soon as the horn sounded, the valley suddenly boiled, and countless ironclad soldiers rushed out of their hiding places, quickly gathered together, held high the banner, and marched towards the place where the horn sounded!

On the high slope, Xiao Yi is wearing battle armor, holding a sword, stepping on the hill, the sky above his head, full of murderous aura, just a bright moon jumped out of the mountain col, the light is like water, leaning on the body of the great bank, there is really a bit of a wolf howling the moon, proud of the wind and clouds!

"The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry has been assembled, and the Metropolitan Governor ......"

"The Mo sword soldiers have been assembled, and they will pay homage to the ...... of the Metropolitan Governor"

"The diggers have been assembled, and they will pay homage to the ...... of the Metropolitan Governor"

………………………………………

At the foot of the hillside, all the troops and horses have been assembled, people are like dragons, horses are like tigers, morale is high, they all look at Xiao Yi with expectant eyes, hoping to undertake the task of the vanguard, the army is fighting, the vanguard is the most arduous, but also the most glorious, there are knives first, there is money first, there is merit first, non-fearless warriors can not serve!

"Han family son, this battle will be won, the horse will step on the west and raise the prestige of our army!"

Xiao Yi glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction, with such a tiger and wolf army in hand, why be afraid of the northwest Hulu, but, the Celestial Dynasty Taizu said well, "Strategically despise the enemy, tactically attach importance to the enemy, to achieve great success, you need to use some means, surprise troops to win!" ”

The normal route of the army to the west should be out of Xiao Pass, all the way to the west for 300 miles, turn south, through the Xiqiang grassland, and reach the right, so as to attack the base camp of the Di people!

This marching route is easier to walk, there are grasslands along the way, the roads are flat, the soil is thick and the water is sweet, and you can also get some supplies from the Qiang tribe, which eliminates the danger of starvation for the soldiers, the problem is that it is also easy to expose the traces of the army, and if you want to sneak attack the enemy camp, the chance of success is too small!

The situation in Xiliang is tense, and all forces have sent a large number of rangers to inquire about the situation, Xiao Yi can be sure that the army will be less than two hundred miles out of the pass, and the forces of all parties will find themselves, once their whereabouts are exposed, danger will come!

Xiliang is not as good as the mainland, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the strategic maneuver space is huge, the nomads live in tents, people go home, there is no fixed camp, want to find them in the vast grassland, just like looking for a needle in a haystack, the chance is slim!

When the army goes out, the Di tribe will inevitably hide, avoid its edge, and then take advantage of the terrain, maneuver left and right, slowly wear down the sharpness of the Han army, and when the time is ripe, then counterattack, this is a tactic often used by nomads, and it will be tried and tested!

If you want to win by surprise, you must hide the traces of the army, Xiao Yi thought about it repeatedly, and set another marching route, the people and horses did not go out of Xiao Pass, but along the Liupan Mountain to the south, after running for hundreds of miles, over the mountains, and then across the Jingshui, the divine soldiers descended from the sky, and directly attacked the base camp of the Di tribe!

This marching route is very well concealed, there is the cover of Liupan Mountain, the grassland rangers can not find the traces of the army, the same, concealment also means difficulty, the mountain road is difficult, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the infantry is very difficult to climb, the cavalry over the mountains, it is an incredible thing, now, Xiao Yi is going to go against the sky and create a miracle!

"Where is the yellow squirrel, this expedition, the 'digging army' is the pioneer, opening the road in the mountains, building bridges in the water, and destroying the enemy, it should be the first achievement!" Xiao Yi knows very well that the vanguard of the army over the mountains and mountains and the road is not a soldier who can cut people, but a soldier who can cut down trees and build bridges.

"The last general received the order, please rest assured, the Digger Army is to use corpses to pile up, and it will also open a way for the army!" The yellow squirrel stepped forward, trembling with excitement, the three wisps of rat whiskers were cocked, and it was so glorious to be able to serve as a pioneer in a national war against foreign races, it was worth dying!

The diggers, to put it bluntly, are a group of tomb robbers, they have a great role in finding treasures for the country, they play a major role, but their reputation is bad, the yellow squirrel has merit promoted to Zhonglang General, and he has been crowned the Marquis of Duting, and he is also considered to be prosperous in official luck, but he has not been able to raise his head in front of his colleagues, and he is the credit of killing with a knife and a shot, and he is digging out with a shovel, pouting people's bones, damaging yin morality, and his reputation stinks out of 800 miles!

Now the opportunity has come, to be a pioneer for the whole army, to open up the road, the governor of the capital has pacified the twelve counties of Xiliang, and the credit book must be heavily recorded, the Han family legal system, the first military merit, who will dare to underestimate the 'digging army' when the time comes! ’

"Brothers, the opportunity to serve the country and earn fame has come...... Let's go! "The weasel waved his hand, and the five thousand men and horses set off in a mighty manner, their equipment is very special, there are no spears and halberds, no strong bows and crossbows, and their shoulders are full of shovels, hammers, axes and saws, long ropes, planks, etc., no blades in their hands, with strong hearts, opening mountains and filling valleys, and moving forward, this is the digger army!

Then followed by the Danyang elite soldiers, these people are all children in the mountains, over the mountains and mountains, such as walking on flat ground, good at finding roads in the mountains, and excellent hunters, the ability to survive in the wild is extremely strong, with them as an auxiliary, the most suitable!

Xiao Yi personally led the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry in the center, this force of men and horses is an important assault force, as long as they can cross the mountains and cross the river, it will be their turn to exert their iron hoof scimitar to exert its power, and the queen of the palace is the 'trapped camp', and they also have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of transporting grain and grass, which is very hard!

As for the Mo knife soldiers, they were left behind, these soldiers were wearing heavy armor, holding long knives, and they had extremely strong attack power on the battlefield, and they were invincible, but they couldn't do it on a long-distance march, hundreds of catties of armor and blades would be exhausted to death, deep mountains and dangerous valleys, it was the Jedi of the Mo knife soldiers, and they couldn't step into it!

The way of using soldiers, in fact, is a mutual cooperation, cavalry galloping, infantry sticking, bow and arrow suppression, Mo knife attack, each class is placed in the most appropriate position, exerting the strongest power, can do this, is an excellent commander!

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After dawn, Xiao Guan opened the city gate, Ma Liu led the rest of the people and horses, and killed them mightily, the decisive battle on the battlefield, the open gun and the hidden arrow, all of which were indispensable, Xiao Yi led the troops to walk the mountain road, and attacked the enemy camp, which was a dark arrow that shot at the enemy's heart.

If you want to attract attention, you have to make the momentum bigger, Ma Liu played very beautifully, after the people and horses came out, they did not rush to march, but set up a sacrifice, and invited a few Xiliang wizards, burned incense and worshipped, and sacrificed to the gods!

Sacrifice to the sky, sacrifice to the earth, sacrifice to the sun, moon and stars, sacrifice to mountains and rivers, sacrifice to the cow god, horse god, sheep god, dog god, turtle god, ......, whether it is the god of the Han family, or the god of the Qiang people, Ma Liu sacrificed all over again, and also said: "The heart is sincere, and the gods are not strange!" ”

Anyway, I'm not afraid of more etiquette, I'm not afraid of slow speed, I just want the momentum to be big enough, just like that, from dawn to the west, Ma Liu rubbed his sore knees and announced that the army was going out!

The soldiers and horses came out, but the speed of advance was very slow, Ma Liu ordered the army, be cautious, step by step, every section of the road, must send rangers to reconnoiter repeatedly, even ants are not spared, to make sure that nothing goes wrong, the people and horses can pass!

As long as the sun is westward, the army immediately set up camp, have a good rest, the next day, the sun on the middle of the day, the day before the departure, encountered the windy and rainy weather, simply stopped, basically marched at a speed of ten miles a day, but also went wrong several times, set off for three days, turn back and still see the city wall of Xiaoguan!

The marching speed is slow, but the momentum is full, the drums and trumpets in the army are sounding in unison, the flag is fluttering, and a pure black "horse" word Daxu flag is raised high, as the guide of the whole army, it can be seen more than ten miles away, such a flamboyant march, not out of three days, all forces in Xiliang know!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"The army is out of the customs, and it is Ma Liu who leads the troops, hehe, Huangkou Xiaoer, this is here to send him to death!" Jincheng County, in the Assassin's Mansion, Han Sui let out a sigh of relief, his face was full of lightness, "Thank God, the traitor didn't come, and the killing god didn't come either!" ”

Han Sui is also a battlefield general, resourceful, good at using soldiers, what he is afraid of is two people, one is Cao Cao, the other is Xiao Yi, as long as the commander of the army is not the two of them, the other Cao Ying generals, he doesn't care about it!

In order to find out the situation, Han Sui sent a large number of secret agents, these people infiltrated all over Guanzhong, even Xuchang City, to monitor every move of the imperial court, all the feedback back news proves that in recent times, the Cao army has not had a large-scale mobilization of troops and horses, as for the 'ghost face Xiao Lang', he is still training soldiers and horses outside Xuchang City, accumulating grain and grass, and it is said that when the autumn is cool, he will send troops to the west!

"Autumn is cool? …… Hehe, if you don't wait for the grass to turn yellow, the twelve counties of Xiliang will be in the hands of the old man! ”

(And one more!) )
