After the Tang Dynasty, the natural ecology of Longyou has been greatly damaged, from Gongchang Mansion to the north of Anding all the way, you can often see a large area of bare loess, which has been washed by the rain for many years, forming a series of criss-crossing ravines, which is shocking.

Fortunately, at this time, water resources were not as scarce as in later generations, and as the source of the Wei River, there were large and small rivers in this area, barely nourishing this Loess Plateau.

The vegetation is not yet destroyed, and the mountains are full of large clumps of trees, towering above the sky.

But if it is not protected, it will continue to be cut down wantonly, and sooner or later it will become the bare state of future generations.

However, to protect the source of the Yellow River, that is a matter for the future.

What Qin Mu has to do now is to stabilize the crisis in Longyou first and avoid the collapse of the war situation in the entire northwest.

In order to be in a hurry, this time the army of 6,000 brought only five days of dry rations. From Gongchang Mansion to Anding County, there is hardly any rest except for the time to eat dry food and drink water along the way.

Iron hooves rumble, banner hunting, six thousand are not discouraged because of the loss of Lanzhou, because they are following the Son of Heaven to fight, every heroic expression may be directly in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, for the soldiers in the army, this is an unavoidable thing.

Moreover, their worship of the Son of Heaven has reached the point of blindness, and with his glorious martial arts in the past, the soldiers have no doubt that following the Son of Heaven will definitely win, and all the military exploits will be rewarded with the richest rewards.

Qin Mu asked Han Gang to send a large number of scouts, and the front kept returning. Under the stability of the city, the two thousand soldiers and horses of the Heshuo Special Department are under the command of the general Dahan. Storm the city of Anding.

Anding is also a very important strategic node, which can be called the eastern gateway of Lanzhou, which is Gongchang Mansion to the south, and there are trails to the east that can lead to Huining County and Pingliang Mansion, and then enter the Guanzhong Plain from the southern foot of Liupan Mountain.

On the back of the galloping horse, the red lady approached and said loudly: "Your Majesty." The concubine felt that it was enough to keep the heavens first, and there were not many soldiers and horses around His Majesty. After maintaining stability, waiting for Lintao's Gao Yigong to decide the victory with that day song, His Majesty will advance to Lanzhou again to ensure safety. ”

There are not many soldiers and horses. Just in relation to the enemy's army. In fact, at any time, six thousand cavalry can be called a large army.

In particular, these 6,000 men and horses are still the elite of the Qin army, well-equipped, there are 1,500 Type 68 rifles alone, if there is a head-on decisive battle, with these 1,500 spearmen, it will be enough to defeat the 20,000 cavalry of Bailutuhu.

Qin Mu replied, "Ying'er." Do you remember how many soldiers and horses I had under my command when we first met? ”

Qin Wu and the red lady met for the first time. It was outside Yuanzhou City, Jiangxi, and at that time, all the soldiers around Qin Mu added up to only two thousand soldiers.

The red lady said: "Your Majesty, the Mongolian army you are facing this time is not the rabble that Zhang Xianzhong just pulled up. It is also better to take a long-term view. ”

"Don't worry, Ying'er, I have my own measure."

Qin Mu knew very well that he personally went into battle, although he could improve the morale of the Qin army's various armies, but this was far from enough, and now the important thing was to achieve a victory, where it was just a small victory of one or two hundred enemies, as long as it was slightly enlarged and publicized, it would also be of great help.

On the contrary, he must not be defeated, where there is a slight setback, at this sensitive moment, this failure will also be infinitely magnified, and then the confidence of the soldiers of the Qin army in him will collapse, and the negative effect of the loss of Lanzhou will also expand exponentially, and then the situation will really be out of control.

"Zhu Yijin!"

"The minister is here."

"I ordered you to lead a thousand men and horses as the vanguard, rush to the city of Anding as soon as possible, keep the stability and do not lose, drag Dahan, if he retreats, immediately bite and chase and kill, remember, act cautiously, but only see the opportunity, and hit hard!"

"Minister, obey the order."

For Qin Mu, this is a war that he can't afford to lose, but he must fight fiercely.

Zhu Yijin galloped away with a thousand men and horses, in fact, it was said to be a striker, no matter how fast it was, the follow-up army was all burying their heads in the horses and galloping, not much slower than Zhu Yijin.

From Gongchang Mansion to Anding County, the whole journey is about 150 miles, and Zhu Yijin only took two hours to kill under Tianding City (in fact, the average speed is only 20 kilometers per hour).

There are 500 defenders in Tianding City, and they are resisting the attack of 2,000 Heshute troops under the city. Ten miles away, you can hear the shouting and killing sound under the Tianding City.

Seeing the yellow dust rolling in the south from a distance, the enemy general Dahan immediately collected his troops and temporarily retreated to the north of the city for ten miles.

Da Xian he only had 1,000 men and horses, but he did not relentlessly chase after him, and the Heshuo army, which had just won the great victory in Lanzhou, was in high spirits, where could he bear this "insult", Dahan immediately led the army back to meet it.

Anding City is located in the valley of the Guanchuan River, a tributary of the Zuli River, except for the north-south valley of the Guanchuan River alluvial topography is relatively flat, the two are all loess high slopes, the terrain of this loess high slope is very complicated, and there are bushes and shrubs growing in the bushes, and it is difficult for the cavalry to move an inch.

The narrow part of the river valley is less than a mile wide, and after quickly looking at the surrounding terrain, Zhu Yijin immediately made a decision and decided to gamble on a big one and give a big gift to the emperor behind.

Dahan's two thousand troops slaughtered back, the momentum was violent, galloping like thunder, the long yellow dust flew up, looking from afar, only part of the people in front could be seen clearly, and all the back were hidden in the yellow dust.

After Zhu Yijin hurriedly issued a few combat orders, his legs clamped, the war horse neighed, and rushed out with his hooves raised, followed by a thousand soldiers and horses behind him, pouring like a torrent, galloping away.

Looking from the head of the city, but seeing three or four miles north of the city, two yellow dragons rolled, approaching quickly, and when the two armies were about to collide together, Zhu Yijin and they suddenly drew an arc, avoiding the front of Dahan, and flew towards the flank.

It was too late, but it was too fast, and at the moment when the arc was drawn, the men and horses in front were no longer an obstacle, and the enemy was completely exposed under the muzzle of the 568 rifle behind, and in the thunderous sound of iron hooves, but a burst of gunfire was heard

The Qin army was on horseback, firing one after another, the whistling bullets whizzed into the enemy's body, and the bulleted war horse fell to the ground violently, rolling fiercely, nearly 100 people fell from the horse before and after, and the tragic howl was soon drowned by the yellow dust swept from behind.

In one face, Dahan suffered nearly 100 casualties, which can be described as extremely tragic.

But if he was determined enough to risk casualties and immediately turn to hot pursuit, since the Qin army could not reload on horseback, it was not yet known who would die in the end.

But at this moment, Handa looked at the war horses that had fallen down one after another, he hesitated for a moment, and just like that, the first charge of the two sides staggered, becoming Zhu Yijin in the north and Dahan's army in the south.

Handa didn't know that his momentary hesitation would change the entire battle situation in Longyou, and it could even be said that it would change history.

When a large group of cavalry charged, it was not possible to stop if they wanted to, but Zhu Yijin had already ordered in advance, and as soon as the spearmen and the enemy in the rear swept away, they began to slow down in an orderly manner, and they were one step faster.

When Han Khan turned around, the yellow dust gradually dispersed with the wind, and he faintly saw that the Qin army in the north had dismounted, and the five hundred spearmen were divided into two, standing in three rows in front and back, like two gates, blocking the wide river valley in Lixu, and all the soldiers were biting open the paper shells and quickly loading ammunition into the rifles.

Dahan suddenly came to his senses and realized that something was wrong. Although it was the first time he had seen the rifle of the Qin army, judging from the range and lethality just now, it was simply a cavalryman's nightmare.

In the narrow valley, Dahan suddenly felt the atmosphere solemn to the extreme, and the war horse under the straddle was snorting uneasily, at this time, he could not help but look at both sides of the valley, but saw the mountains undulating, thorny, and bushy;

Between the ravines, there are also some deserted trails, but most can not allow two horses to run in parallel, such trails, unless it is a rout and scattered to flee for their lives, otherwise under the eyes of the Qin army, two thousand troops squeezed into it together, I am afraid that trampling on each other, it will be a catastrophe.

"Bluff!"

"Bluff!"

"Bluff!"

After the Qin army finished loading, he began to let out bursts of low roars, lined up in neat horizontal lines, and pressed forward step by step, the low roar like the king of beasts made people feel a sullen feeling in their hearts, and Dahan felt that the war horse stepping down became more and more uneasy.

At this moment, in the south of Anding City, there was a dull sound of horses' hooves again, and the yellow dust rose into the air.

Dahan was shocked, and he immediately brandished his saber and shouted: "Rush over and break the Qin people's interception, ah! ”

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

Nearly 2,000 Heshute cavalry roared hysterically, struggling to urge their horses, clenching their longbows, and rushing towards Zhu Yijin's defense line, their iron hooves shaking the mountains and rivers, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

The Qin army in the north, neatly holding their rifles, faced the enemy cavalry that was galloping wildly, silently calculating the distance, five hundred steps, four hundred steps, and three hundred steps
