Chapter 926: Leading the Way Party

(Thank you for the support of half a knife zsz and Zjm3246, thank you very much!) )

The iron hand Herry led 2,000 snow to the south at night, seeing that it was not far from Huazhou, and when the sky was about to dawn, the forward suddenly reported that he had defeated the army in Huazhou at night. He rode his horse to the front to see the vanguard, and was bumped into the pathfinder to bring back the defeated army, but the leader of the defeated army was none other than the Huazhou Qianfu Shali, who was the third son of his Heri, and at this time he was so embarrassed that he lost his armor and fled in the snow for a long time, shivering with cold.

"What happened?" Old Herry was shocked, he gave birth to eight sons before and after, all of them inherited his bravery, and he especially liked this third son, because this third son was the most like him, and the most brave, more than forty years old, it was the most prime, he was already the commander of the cavalry of the Ya tribe, with a thousand cavalry under his command. This time, he Heli guarded the Binfu, and especially let the third son Shali guard Huazhou, which shows the importance of trust in this son. But now Shali's embarrassed appearance makes Old Herry not surprised.

"Huazhou Nanguan and the city have been lost, it is the Tang people, it is the Qin army, they raided the Huazhou Nanguan, quietly took the Qianguan, and then pretended to be the Nanguan soldiers to deceive into Huazhou City, most of my thousand-man team was killed, and I also escaped by luck."

Old Herry's hand holding the whip trembled, both frightened and angry, and indisputable to the third son.

"You're all dead? How could you be touched by the enemy under your nose and don't know the way, Huazhou Nanguan, so dangerous, how can you be easily taken by the enemy and don't know the way, and let the family easily cheat Huazhou City again, are you fucking as soon as you arrive in Huazhou, you feel like you have entered the world of flowers. All day long, I only know how to play Bohai girls. The rest of the people don't know anything? ”

As he spoke. Old Herry couldn't help but raise his whip and whipped his son hard, and Shali didn't dare to dodge it. Old Herry's eldest grandson, the centurion of his personal guard, Geshley, hurriedly stepped forward to take his grandfather's hand, "My lord, now is not the time to pursue these, the key now is to know how many Tang people have come, where they have arrived, and how we should deal with them." ”

Listened to the words of the grandson. Iron Hand finally lost his breath and regained some composure.

"How many Qin troops are coming?"

"A lot."

"How much is a lot?" Herry asked, rolling her eyes.

Sha Li was a little evasive, "At least tens of thousands, all of them are Qin troops, and they are fighting a winged Pegasus flag." ”

Old Herry turned his head to look at his second grandson Jika, Jika has always been known for his intelligence, and he is also the only one in the Herry family who can speak Chinese, this year's twenty-year-old Jika is the eldest son of his second son, two years ago he had followed the merchants of the Qin domain to the White Mountain and Black Water all the way to the Central Plains Tang Empire, he has been to the Bohai, Dongying, Silla, Khitan, Qin Domain. Dengzhou, Yanjing, Dalian, Liaoyang, Qingzhou have been to these big cities, and they have also been to Luoyang and Chang'an. A three-year-long trip. Completely changed Jika, making him more and more different from Cong.

Today, Jika is the elder Herry's staff officer, responsible for clerical and planning work. Hearing his uncle's words, his face suddenly became ugly.

"Jika, what's wrong? Is there something wrong? Old Herry noticed that his grandson's face had changed.

Jika's face was cloudy, and he sighed for a long time before he said to Herry, "My lord, I suggest that we withdraw immediately."

"Withdraw to the state?"

"No, the farther you retreat, the better, and the most important thing is to go back to the tribe directly." Jika said unexpectedly.

"For what?" Now Old Herry was also shocked, if he didn't know that Daojika was not a timid person, he would have thought that this grandson was frightened.

"Because of that Pegasus flag!" Jika sighed. Others may not know the meaning of the banner of Ludao, but Jika knows very well that when he went to the Central Plains, he had seen this flag in Yanjing City, which was at the military parade held in Yanjing City, when he saw with his own eyes one after another elite Qin people's armed forces, especially the cavalry of the Qin army, which impressed him deeply. Compared to them, the tribal soldiers of the Yan Dynasty were like seeing the wild men of Huazi, and the cavalry of the Qin army were all riding tall war horses and wearing extremely shiny armor, like a body of steel. At that time, among those cavalrymen, there was a cavalry flying the banner of Pegasus. He still remembered that the banner was the banner of the elite cavalry of the Qin army, the flying cavalry.

The Flying Cavalry Army, one of the Nine Cavalry Corps of the Qin Army, and their military leader was Yang Shihou, one of the thirteen Taibao disciples of Li Jing, the king of Qin.

Jika participated in this southern expedition with his grandfather, father, uncles and brothers, and confronted the Qin army in the Bohai Sea for several years, and he knew very well that there was no flying cavalry army in the Qin army sequence in the Bohai Sea. Now, this flying cavalry army suddenly appeared in the Bohai Sea, and even appeared behind the flank of the Zhongjing front, and then contacted the incredible information received before, a fact finally emerged: the Qin army is coming, not the Qin army from Tokyo, but the new Qin army from the Tang Empire. The news that there are few ports and countless huge ships on the sea, and that the peninsula has been completely occupied by countless Tang people, is true, not an exaggeration, nor a rumor.

Old Herry was silent, and so were the other generals.

They were all shocked by what Jika said, if it was really as Jika said, then the matter was indeed in big trouble.

"It's unlikely, how did the Qin army suddenly come around to the rear of this flank? There's no news coming back at all! If the Qin people sent troops from the Central Plains in a big way, it would be impossible for the Zhongjing side not to know the slightest movement, right? Shali said.

Old Iron shook his head, "If they want to quietly lead a large army here, they can only come from the sea." It is the fastest and most surprising from the sea. I had heard that Li Jing, the king of Qin, was assembling a large army in his vassal state and mobilizing the whole people to destroy a feudal town to the south of it, but later I heard that Li Jing had succeeded in forcing that feudal town to submit, and the attack was over. Now it seems that it is very likely that Li Jing was just a feint, that his attack on that feudal town was fake, and that it was true that he mobilized troops and horses to attack our coalition army. Jika is right, it is very likely that the Qin army has really sent troops to come, and it is very likely that the army is coming. ”

Thinking of this, the old iron hand also began to frown, if it was really the arrival of the Qin army. They don't go to the main battlefield in Zhongjing. But he came here. What is it for? Obviously, the picture is bigger. Old Herry began to ponder, and soon he thought of a possibility with his rich experience. Li Jing planned to go around behind the coalition forces in Shangjing, and they were going to surround the coalition forces on the right in Shangjing.

Now that the weather has begun to warm up, the glaciers will begin to thaw in a month's time, and at that time, the land is now flat and solid. It will become a muddy puddle everywhere, a deep swamp, and even the most familiar with the mountain and forest swamps will be terrified of such a season, and it will be difficult to move. If the Qin army copied their back road before the arrival of this season, then they would not even have a chance to counterattack, and they would be trapped to death.

Lao Heli returned to Jianzhou with his men and horses on the same day, and at the same time, he also sent more than a dozen scouts to investigate the Qin army on the peninsula.

Three days later. The horses along the way sent back the news one by one. Message after message, all confirming Jika's suspicions. The banner of the Qin army they saw, not only the flying cavalry, but even the dragoon army saw it, and the most shocking thing for them was that there was a probe horse that was almost all hunted, but the most seriously injured one miraculously escaped back, he brought back a more important news, they went all the way to the peninsula, and even approached the vicinity of the port, they found that the peninsula was full of Qin soldiers and horses, and rolling camp tents, and the port, countless ships, that small port, has now completely changed, It has become a huge military port, and countless warehouses have become near the port, and even the nearby islands such as Bear Island have also become warehouses for the Qin army. But this is not the most important news, the most important news is that Li Jing, the king of Qin, the most famous man in the entire Central Plains and even the entire Northeast over the years, has also come.

The black Flying Eagle Banner, the huge Li Zi Python Dragon Banner King Flag, the purple Generalissimo Da Xu, and the military flag of the Sixth Guards Army all confirmed the news that Li Jing was here.

"The Qin army has at least 400,000!" The seriously wounded sentinel said the last thing before he died.

All the people were shocked, they had only guessed before, guessing that this was an elite army of soldiers and horses from the Tang Dynasty, and guessing that there might be a lot of soldiers and horses. But what they originally guessed in their hearts was that at most, they only thought that the Qin army would not exceed 50,000, after all, all along, the Qin army in Beijing was only 50,000. Four hundred thousand? It's a number they can't even think of.

"It can't be!" Shali's eyes widened.

"It's quite possible!" Jika and Old Herry spoke at about the same time.

"What then? Let's withdraw! ”

Several generals said that almost all of their soldiers and horses were composed of people over the age of fifty and under eighteen, and almost all of them were composed of several small tribes near the old Heri family, and they were actually a big family among themselves. It's said to be an army, but it's actually a tribe just as well.

400,000 people, just thinking about this number, can make the brave old men of the Devil breathless. And it's about to thaw, and if you don't leave at this time, you won't be able to leave if you want to go in the future.

Jika said a little pessimistically: "I have seen the wealth and strength of the Qin army, in the past two years, they only used 100,000 people to enter the Bohai Sea, and they completely blocked our 200,000 allied troops from entering. Previously, Li Jing had been focusing on the Central Plains, but now, Li Jing has finally freed up his hands from the Central Plains and personally led the main force to conquer, and we are not opponents at all. ”

"Yes, the year before last, the Khitan dragged 200,000 tribes under the Yin Mountain to the south, but only one Khitan doll and a few thousand wounded soldiers ran out of the 200,000 people. Further back, Goguryeo was directly destroyed, Bohai fought with the Qin army, 80,000 people were also defeated, and the Khitan was defeated by the Qin army several times. Although we are saying that the momentum is quite big now, everyone should know that the so-called 600,000 horses and horses, in fact, there are no real elite soldiers of 200,000, many of them are just old and weak, and even women and children are counted. Now it is all supported by the captured half of the Bohai Sea, and it has been confronting the Qin army for so long. But no matter how big the Bohai Sea is, there are times when it is eaten up, we want to fight with the Qin people, and the first thing we can't bear will only be ourselves. I think we're going to lose this time. Old Herry was equally pessimistic.

Two years, the richest two years, in these two years, especially in the very beginning, when the Qin army fought on both sides and could not afford to send too many soldiers and horses into the Bohai Sea. But they failed to seize the opportunity to break through the two lines of defense in the Bohai Sea, and were blocked there by the Qin army, and they were always desperately attrition.

Now, the situation is completely different, after two years, the Qin army has greatly eased up, and they have accumulated strong strength, and now they are killing in one fell swoop, how can the coalition forces stop it? Just by the rabble of the tribes?

Jika looked at everyone and whispered, "When I was in the Central Plains, I saw many tribes who had descended to Qin, and their lives in the Qin Domain were not as miserable as the rumors we heard. On the contrary, those tribal leaders have been given land, estates and even titles, and they live very chic and comfortable. And those tribesmen, although scattered and resettled, also have their own land, even pastures. In the Qin domain, they lived the same life as the Qin people, and they could go to school, do business, farm, and even join the army as officials. In fact, in the Qin Domain, the Qin people originally included many tribes, and the Qin people even included the Western Tessians, Romans, Persians, Great Cannibals, Greeks, and so on. They lived, studied, and paid taxes in the Qin Domain, and then enjoyed the prosperity, freedom, and stability of the Qin Domain."

Old Herry turned his head and stared at his second grandson like lightning. Ge Shili shouted on the side: "What are you talking about, the Qin people are doing well, and they have nothing to do with us." ”

Jika glanced at his cousin, "No, it can have a lot to do with it. ”

As he spoke, he looked at his grandfather.

Old Herry's eyes collided with his grandson's eyes, and he clearly knew what his grandson was thinking.

"Do you really think that the Qin army can achieve the most victorious victory?" He asked, waving his iron hand.

"The last victory will only belong to the Qin people, and it will be very fast."

"Can't we go back to the tribe now?" The iron hand whirred as he danced, and the sharp hook seemed to be ready to hook into someone's body at any moment.

"Your Excellency, you know that this is impossible. This battle will not only determine the outcome of the war, but also determine the ownership of the entire Northeast in the future. After the defeat of the coalition army, the entire northeast has to crawl under the iron hooves of the Qin people, no tribe can be an exception, even if we live on the edge of the distant black water, but the iron hooves of the Qin army will eventually step there. Instead of surrendering helplessly at that time, it is better to plan early now. My lord, you should know the difference between morning and night. Jika persuaded her grandfather.

"Let me think again!" Iron Hand hesitated.

"Time is running out, please make a decision early, the Han people have a saying, when the judgment continues, we don't have much time."

Before his words fell, there was a scout horse coming from outside to report that the Qin army with the Pegasus flag had arrived twenty miles away from Jianzhou.

"Grandfather, there's no time, please make a decision quickly!" Jika knelt down and pleaded.

Old Herry anxiously paced around the circle, and after a long time, he finally had to stomp his foot and ordered to open the gate of Jianzhou, and the men and horses of the department went out of the city to surrender to the Qin army.

Yang Shihou, who was advancing towards Jianzhou City, was still ten miles away from the city, and when he saw Jianzhou City on the plain from afar, Jika had already approached with a team of Yan cavalry holding a white flag, and presented him with a letter of surrender! Yang Shihou looked at the letter written in beautiful thin gold font with some surprise, and after reading it, the surprise completely turned into surprise, he laughed a few times on the horse, and waved his hand: "Jika, this will accept your surrender on behalf of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and now, lead the way in front, and lead the way to receive Jianzhou City!"
