Chapter 487: Soldiers are coming to the city
As far as the ongoing military operation was concerned, the private affairs of the military division were insignificant, and the army marched north along the Hutuo River without being affected in the slightest. The horse-drawn sleigh galloped along the frozen river at an astonishing speed, and in the afternoon the army reached Dai County, 200 miles away. He went ashore for eighty miles and entered the frozen bed of the Sanggan River. Then ran northeast along the Sanggan River overnight, and arrived in Yangyuan County in the afternoon.
In less than two days and one night, the army forcibly marched 700 miles and went around Yangyuan County in the north of Guangling County, which was an out-and-out miracle. Of course, it also paid a heavy price, at least 200 sleds overturned, and nearly 1,000 soldiers were killed and injured in the fall. But at this time, the number of dead and wounded is no longer meaningful, only to keep moving forward and take away the most victories!
The striker stopped at a place called Xiaodukou Village, and after making sure that he had not gone in the wrong direction, Mo Wen and Xu Huaiqing, who served as the strikers, were relieved. The most worrying thing about this kind of long-distance rush is to get lost, especially in this vast snowfield, the wind and snow are all over the sky, and they can't distinguish between the west and the east at all, if it weren't for Wang Xian's genius to come up with the method of using the river as the way, they are likely to get lost in this snowstorm.
Now, when you arrive at Xiaodukou Village, you can enter the Huliu River, a tributary of the Sanggan River, and the source of the Huliu River is in the west of Guangling County! As long as you go upstream along this river, you can't go wrong!
The army turned into the course of the Huliu River, but had to stop after thirty miles, for the river became very steep in the mountains beyond that...... Or rather, the canyon is more appropriate, the horse-drawn sleigh is simply impassable, and the Borzigit are too good to send them over the mountain.
"Get out of the car!" The officers' orders came and went, and the soldiers, who snuggled together to keep warm, reluctantly left the sleigh, moving their numb limbs, and their eyes were a little dazed for a while......
"Assemble, assemble!" The sharp whistle blew, and the soldiers reflexively lined up in the direction of the flag, and saw Wang Xian, accompanied by the generals, appear on a raised boulder.
"Brothers, what are we doing in Shanxi?" Wang Xian's gaze slowly swept over everyone and asked.
"Suppress the bandits......" the soldiers said.
"I can't hear you!" Wang Xian said coldly.
"Bandits!" The soldiers' voices this time are much more neat and much more neat!
"Yes, bandits. We want to exterminate the White Lotus bandits in Guangling County! Wang Xian said and pointed to the towering mountains behind him and said: "Now I tell you, over these mountains, there is Guangling County!" ”
After such a difficult trek, they now feel that as long as they can reach Guangling County, they will be victorious, regardless ......of how many enemies there are.
"Then I don't need to say more." Wang Xian pulled out his sword and pointed at Guangling: "The two years of dedication and waiting, countless blood and sacrifices, must be fulfilled at this moment, let us turn over this mountain, take Guangling County, repay His Royal Highness Taisun, and add glory to the sacrificed brothers!" ”
"Repay His Royal Highness! Glory to the brothers who sacrificed! The soldiers replied in a deep voice, feeling their blood boiling, their hands and feet filled with strength, and followed the young army banner and climbed up the steep river...... I don't have to ride a sled anymore, but it's still right to go up the hill along the river.
Before going up the mountain, Wang Xian walked to Baoyin Qiqige's side, the Mongolian girl's body bones are perverted, under the bumps for several days, she was as if nothing happened, but her face was a little pale, but she already had Guishan blood, and she couldn't see how.
"Let Delentai take them back, and I'll let you go to Datong to recuperate." Wang Xian took Baoyin's hand, although they were wearing thick leather gloves, they could still feel the slightest warmth.
Bao Yin always had an idea, shook his head and said, "I'll go back to Tumochuan with them." ”
"You have to know what is good or bad." Wang Xian didn't dare to murder her now, so he had to say patiently: "After running around for so many days, don't get the fetal gas, let's go to Datong and ask the doctor to take a look." ”
"I'm not you Han woman," Bao Yin chuckled, "We Mongolian women, pregnant on horseback, giving birth on horseback, this little bump is nothing." ”
"After all, the medical conditions in the mainland are better......
"We Mongolian women rarely have ...... of difficult births"
"Okay......" Wang Xianzhi said that this Mongolian girl has always had the right idea, and it is not possible to give the order, so he has to find another reason and say: "I am about to lead the army into Guangling, this trip is unpredictable, you can't wait for me to return safely and then go back?" ”
"Nope." Bao Yin was really very assertive, she shook her head, and said with a straight face: "No matter how the result is, it is doomed, and it makes no difference to me sooner or later...... If you die in battle, I will still give birth to our children and raise them, and if you don't die, I will still give birth to our children and raise them again. ”
Her tone is so natural, it seems that Mongolians look at life and death, it is really different from the Han people, Wang Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly, this has not been born yet, the heart is all on the child, it seems that I am dead or alive, it has little impact on her.
"But you have to come back alive," who knew that Baoyin's words changed, and then looked at him fixedly and said, "I don't want the child to be born without a father," after a pause, a blush flashed on her cheeks and said, "I still want to have many, many children with you......"
......Seeing that he was not useless, Wang Xian laughed loudly, hugged his child's mother tightly and said, "Don't worry, I will come back to watch our child be born!" ”
"Be careful." Bao Yin nodded, suddenly took off his gloves, tied a string of beads around his wrist, and said softly: "This is given by the Living Buddha, which can bless you with your sword from injury." ”
"Put on your gloves and don't freeze." Wang Xian is lesson was painful, his hands were frostbitten, although it was not serious, but it hurt like a pinprick.
"Let's go," Bao Yin glanced at him deeply, and nodded at Gu Xiaolian, "Sister Xiaolian also take care." ”
"Take care." Gu Xiaolian nodded with a smile, and turned around with Wang Xian to catch up with the team.
Bao Yin stood there all the time, watching their figures disappear into the mouth of the canyon, before she burst into tears. In order not to worry her husband on the expedition, the Mongolian woman has always been strong in the face of parting, and tears only shed ...... after he turned around.
Judging from the map, it is only forty miles in a straight line from the canyon to Guangling County, but climbing up the winding and rugged canyon river to the valley feels that the road is so obstructive and long, and many soldiers have stumbled and fallen into the valley...... Fortunately, the Zhilu Road went over the mountain to Guangling, and the soldiers had enough physical strength on the sleigh car, and they had strength in their feet and hearts, and finally climbed up the canyon in the middle of the night!
When they came up to the canyon, there was a flat area in front of them, and the soldiers excitedly took off their skis on their backs and galloped silently on the winding river. Passing by the pass where there is the White Lotus Sect army, the defenders of the pass never imagined that the Ming army would kill them from behind at this time, and they were still asleep...... It is said that there should be people patrolling the sentry tower day and night, but in such a cold night, such a heavy wind and snow, the officers are lying on the kang and refusing to get up, and the non-commissioned officers on duty will naturally take up the fire, who is stupid to stand guard in the night wind like a knife?
The Ming army ignored them and swept straight along the river to these posts, and the procession marched unhindered, arriving at the foot of Guangling City at dawn. With the faint light of the sky, a city was in sight, and the officers and soldiers all knew that after paying a lot of hardships, they finally killed under Guangling City without realizing it. At this moment, everyone's blood boiled, fatigue and cold were swept away, and the whole body was full of strength!
Without further ado, Xu Huaiqing and Mo Wen immediately began preparations for the siege - for this siege, they took great pains to design a portable ladder. They divided the ladder into several short ladders, and split the short ladder into one root, which was carried separately when marching and picked up again during the siege, which was very convenient. As soon as the Chinese army arrived, they carried the ladder that connected the cloud and quietly slid to the city! At this time, the wind and snow are gradually getting smaller, and the sight is also better, which is naturally extremely unfavorable to the besieging side. Although everyone was dressed in white robes and hats, they tried their best to approach the city lightly. But everyone was extremely nervous, not only the besieging troops, but also the Chinese army under the city and the rear army in charge of vigilance, all of them were breathless, staring at the city, lest there be a sudden alarm or a rain of locusts...... That would be terrible.
The most nervous is Wang Xian. Needless to say, this is an unprecedented gamble, from the moment his plan began to be executed, it is full of risks, once any link goes wrong, leaking the news, it will lead to total failure. The consequence of the failure is that he and these more than 10,000 brothers explain that here, and the prospects of His Royal Highness Taisun will also be very bad...... Although the raid on Guangling County was the first proposed by Mo Wen, Wang Xian was the promoter and planner, and if there was a mistake, all the responsibility would be borne by him...... If only he could afford it, the problem was that the consequences were not something he could afford......
Wang Xian clenched his fists nervously, but in such a cold wind and snow, he was covered with sweat. Gu Xiaolian and the others on the side didn't dare to make a sound, they were all praying for the gods and Buddhas Guanyin, please don't joke at this time......
Under the attention of everyone, the siege troops leaned under the city, set up a ladder, and slowly set up the city. At this time, the wind and snow completely stopped, and all of a sudden silence was silent, and the cloud ladder collided with the head of the city, making a crisp snapping sound, which frightened the Ming army outside the city. Fortunately, Mo Wen saw the opportunity quickly, and he didn't care about urging his subordinates, and he was the first to climb the ladder. The soldiers behind woke up like a dream, and hurriedly followed, and after a while, four ladders sent more than 100 soldiers to the city, and the defenders of the city still did not react.
This scene made Wang Xian inexplicably surprised, I don't know what the hell is Lu Daowei Wujian doing?
In Wang Xian's opinion, Wei Wujian must always be vigilant against that bastard, and the slightest negligence will be calculated......
