    "Hey, we are indeed the first"

    Reining his horse on the slope, Ma Dan looked at the tens of thousands of Northern Xinjiang troops under the Jijing City who were preparing to attack the city, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

    In one month, they rushed from Guangling to Jijing, thousands of miles away. How many marching speeds could there be, not to mention the Jizhou Army, even if we look at the entire world?

    Although this was possible thanks to the fact that his Ma Dan troops were all cavalry, unlike the partial armies of Fei Guo and Liao Lina, which were a mixture of cavalry and infantry, this speed was indeed astonishing.  After all, Ma Dan spent more than thirty days running from the south to the north of Zhou Dynasty, covering almost half of the country.

    However, he was proud, but Ma Dan did not dare to relax at all. After all, what happened in Guangling last time is still fresh in his mind: because he miscalculated Fei Guo's marching speed, Ma Dan, who originally wanted to monopolize the merits,  In the end, Dan actually made Fei Guo's wedding dress. When he was fighting with the Taiping Army in Guangling City, Fei Guo miraculously came from behind and took the great credit.

    Ma Dan felt his liver sting slightly when he thought of Fei Guo's face smiling at Xie An's praise at the celebration banquet afterwards.

    "Where are Lao Fei's men?"

    The deputy general next to him, Wu Xing, smiled. He and Ma Dan had such a good relationship that they both wore the same pair of trousers. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, we learned our lesson this time and sent a dozen brothers to follow us. Keep it safe."  It won't be like last time, our army was beaten to death, but Lao Fei took advantage of him There are infantry among Lao Fei's troops, and their distance is definitely not as good as our army. Calculating the schedule, Lao Fei should still be there.  Yanzhou and Yuzhou"

    Listening to Wu Xing¡¯s tone, it was obvious that he was also very worried about what happened that day.

    "Yan and Hezhou" Ma Dan exhaled slightly after hearing this and said seriously, "Not far from the Yellow River is Jizhou, and not far away is the location of Ji Jing of Anping State. We must not relax any more.  , that old boy has always used a combination of oddity and rightness when using his troopssometimes, even I can't figure out what that guy is thinking!"

    "Otherwise, he is the coach and you are the deputy coach?" Wu Xing teased in a teasing tone.

    Ma Dan smiled slightly, then seemed to have thought of something, and sighed, "In addition to Lao Fei, there is also that boy Liao Li Originally I thought Tang Hao was overwhelmed in terms of merit, and only Lao and I were left.  It was a waste of time, but I didn¡¯t expect that kid Liao Li to get up again. Now it¡¯s better, that kid is even more difficult to deal with than Tang Hao"

    Hearing this, Wu Xing smiled knowingly.

    You must know that in the Battle of Guangling, Jizhou Army General Liao Li used a small force to withstand the fierce attack of tens of thousands of Taiping troops with an army of nearly 10,000.  Therefore, Liao Li was really high-spirited and energetic at the celebration banquet after the battle.

    "A first achievement, plus Xie An and Li Xian toasting one after another, this kind of honor really made the generals in the Jizhou army jealous.

    Of course, Liao Li, Ma Dan and Wu Xing didn't have any unbalanced ideas. After all, Liao Li was able to take the lead because of his ability. He could suppress the Taiping enemy soldiers from three directions at the same time. This talent in command  , even Ma Dan can't match him, so he has no position to be jealous.  At best, they can only hold back their energy and gain the greatest merit in the next battle.

    "It's difficult!" Ma Dan sighed deeply.

    One month ago, after the Battle of Guangling, the Jizhou soldiers carried out post-war reorganization. Xie An increased the number of partial divisions from two to three in one go. To put it simply, he straightened Liao Li and allowed the Zhou army to  The fierce general has secured his position as the head coach of the partial division.

    Except for the main division, which was still led by Xie An himself, the armies under Fei Guo, Ma Dan, and Liao Li were named the First Army, the Second Army, and the Third Army respectively.  These three partial division armies of the Jizhou Army have undergone major changes in personnel deployment.

    The first is Fei Guo's First Army. Because Fei Guo himself is the most powerful general in the Jizhou Army, Xie An attaches great importance to the First Army. He assigns 4,000 cavalry and 16,000 infantry, a total of 20,000 troops.  Because it was an army that needed to rush to the most dangerous battlefield, Xie An also transferred Zhang Dong, a general from the main division who was good at defense, to Fei Guo's command. This not only kept the army's lethality unchanged, but also greatly enhanced its defensive strength.  .

    Secondly, Ma Dan's Second Army was regarded by Xie An as a surprise attack force due to the use of troops by the legion commander Ma Dan. Xie An allocated 10,000 cavalry and transferred two cavalry generals, Su Xin and Li Jing, to Ma Dan's command.  It makes the second army more flexible and more mobile.

    Finally, there are the three armies formed by Liao Li. The commander of the army is naturally Liao Li. He assigns 3,000 cavalry and 7,000 infantry, for a total of 10,000.  The deputy general was held by Zhou General Chengyang. It is worth mentioning that Xie An's brother-in-law Ku Yang and his original Niuzhu Army officers were also included in the three armies.  This kind of distribution method makes Ma DanThe original advantage of the Second Army in being extremely flexible in command was completely gone. After all, Liao Li, Cheng Yang, and Ku Yang were all generals who were good at command.

    Generally speaking, Ma Dan's second army only has some advantages in mobility. After all, all his troops are cavalry.

    As for Xie An's main force, Tang Hao was promoted to deputy commander, commanding the troops when Xie An did not show up, and was supported by generals such as Wang Huai, Dian Ying, and E Yi.  To be honest, if we put aside the Dongling Army and Jinling Army, as well as Li Xian, Changsun Xiangyu, Liu Qing and other military advisors, Xie An's main force actually does not have an advantage over the First, Second, and Third Armies.  And this is what Xie An hopes to see.  After all, it is better to have enemies on all sides than to be stronger than one of them. In special circumstances, partial division can also play a decisive role.  Just like the Battle of Guangling, to put it nicely, Xie An's main force was the straw that broke the camel's back. It was precisely because the main force led by Xie An invaded Guangling from the west gate that the city was  The Taiping Army completely lost its fighting spirit and surrendered; to put it harshly, the role played by Xie An's main force at that time was purely the finishing work of cleaning up the battlefield. After all, the most difficult battle had already been fought by Liao Li and Ma  Dan and Fei Guo finished the fight in batches.

    Of course, if that were the case alone, Ma Dan might not be so full of fighting spirit.

    In fact, since the Jizhou Army was reorganized, the three generals Fei Guo, Ma Dan, and Liao Li began to compete secretly. After all, a rumor spread in the army that made the generals stunned and extremely jealous.

    That is, after defeating the northern overlord Yan King Li Mao, Xie An was going to choose one of the outstanding generals in the army to recommend to the imperial court and be promoted to the position of general.

    General, that is the highest position in the military. To be honest, Fei Guo, Ma Dan and others had given up on this position. After all, with Liang Qiu Wu here, they did not have the courage or ability to compete with the mistress.  Fighting for it, but later I heard that Liangqiu Wu, one of the four towns in Hebei Province, could not concurrently serve as a general according to the ancestral system of the Zhou Dynasty. The general of the Eastern Army was already her limit. No, Fei Guo  , Ma Dan's hearts suddenly became lively, and even Liao Li seemed to have set his sights on this supreme position in the military.

    In this way, it is no wonder that Ma Dan and the second army under his command were so eager to fight that they came from Guangling in the south of the Yangtze River to the Anping Kingdom in Jizhou in just one month. Even when Li Mao, the king of Yan, who was preparing to attack the city, saw the huge  When the "horse" flag came up, his eyes widened in shock, showing an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

    He originally thought that the troops stationed on the horse and watching might be the local army near Jijing. Seeing that Jijing was attacked, they came to help. However, after General Zhang Qi's explanation, he learned that they were soldiers who went south to put down the rebellion.  Jizhou Army.

    "It's unbelievablehow is this possible?!"

    Li Mao was shocked. After all, in his impression, Xie An and his Jizhou soldiers should still be fighting the rebellion in the south, dealing with Qin King Li Shen and the Taiping Army Wu Heng. So when Zhang Qi said that it was the Jizhou Army, Li Mao  Mao didn't react for a moment.

    "So, King Qin Li Shen and the Taiping Army were destroyed?" He murmured to himself.

    "Most likely" Cao Da, the general of the Northern Xinjiang Army, frowned when he heard this and said in a deep voice, "If the war in Jiangnan has not been settled yet, logically speaking, neither Xie An nor Li Xian would dare to send troops back to Beijing to support them. Otherwise, peace will be  The army took the opportunity to gain strength, and Xie An and Li Xian could not even think of annihilating it this year Since Ma Dan of the Jizhou Army is here now, in other words, Xie An and Li Xian were annihilated at least three months ago.  The Taiping Army in the South"

    It has to be said that Cao Da¡¯s guesses were all correct, but he misjudged the real time it took for Xie An to annihilate Taiping. After all, who would have thought that Ma Dan would rush from Guangling to Jijing in just one month?  In his opinion, Xie An most likely annihilated the Taiping Army in March. After that, the Jizhou Army traveled three months from Guangling to Jijing. After all, this is consistent with the facts.  It can only be said that he underestimated Ma Dan, Xie An's sharp sword. Maybe Ma Dan was not as lethal as Fei Guo and Liao Li, but when it came to marching speed and maneuverability, even if Fei Guo and Liao Li were compared  Even if they are tied together, they may not be as good as Ma Dan. Who knows that Ma Dan was born in Yanmen in the north and was also a famous general who resisted foreign armies.

    "It's unbelievable" Narrowing his eyes, King Yan Li Mao said with a look of horror, "When Xie An and Li Xian led the Jizhou soldiers south to put down the rebellion, I thought they and their troops would be defeated.  In Jiangnan or Jingzhou I know Li Shen's abilities best. If Li Shen hadn't checked the power of Prince Li Wei in Jijing, how could I and Xiaoba have dared to leave the palace and stay in northern Xinjiang and Jiangnan for several years?  As for Wu Heng neither I nor you, etc., know it all too well"

    "" Cao Da frowned when he heard this. Although Wu Heng was undoubtedly a traitor and a spy to them, but even so, he had to admit Wu Heng's talent and had to admit that Wu Heng was one of the Five Tigers of Northern Xinjiang.  The most cunning and resourceful person among?? position.  In fact, Wu Heng was the deputy general of King Yan Li Mao at the time, the deputy general of the coach, and he was in the second position.

    "Even Li Shen and Wu Heng are not as good as that Xie Andid I underestimate that guy too much?" Li Mao murmured in surprise.  After all, he really didn't expect Xie An to successfully wipe out the Three Kings and the Taiping Army. He didn't expect that the war in the south would end so quickly, so that all his previous plans came to nothing.

    You must know that although King Yan Li Mao disdained to cooperate with King Qin Li Shen and the Taiping Army to jointly attack the Great Zhou Dynasty, but on the other hand, did he not have the idea of ????using Li Shen and Wu Heng in his heart?  Otherwise, he would not have endured until Xie An went south and led the Liang Army and Jizhou Army together with Li Xian to formally fight Li Shen and Wu Heng in the south.  To put it bluntly, he also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, take advantage of the absence of the Jizhou soldiers in the capital, and take the opportunity to send his troops south to seize the throne of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.  After all, Jijing only had four troops in the four towns of Jijing at that time, and among them, the Jiefan Army of the Western Army controlled by the Han family and his son was still his internal support in Jijing. With this overwhelming advantage, Li Mao, let alone  By taking Jijing, one can even easily occupy all the land north of the Yellow River.  What if Xie An and Li Xian learn about this in the future and lead their troops back to aid Jijing?  With such a natural danger as the Yellow River, how could the Jizhou Army easily get through it?

    However, God provided that King Li Mao of Yan did not send troops smoothly this time. After the beginning of spring, Liang Qiu Wu was blocked in Boling for half a month. He finally made a plan and trapped Liang Qiu Wu to death in Boling with the help of the defecting Western Army.  , so that Li Mao's troops could reach Jijing smoothly. The emperor Li Shou, whom he looked down upon, also took some wrong medicine.  Thousands of city defense officers, less than 50,000 soldiers, withstood the fierce attack of his 30,000 Northern Xinjiang infantry and 40,000 Yuyang cavalry, and held on for more than a month.

    At that time, Li Maoke was really angry, but he had to call it quits temporarily. After all, the weather gradually got warmer, and the frozen moat under the city of Jijing gradually came to life again, which forced Li Mao to fight himself.  Mouth, retracted the bold words that he had made, and honestly asked his soldiers to build pontoon bridges and various siege equipment, which wasted another full month.

    And just when Li Mao wasted so much time, he finally built a batch of siege equipment, and was about to take revenge on Ji Jing. Unexpectedly, Ma Dan, the general of the Jizhou Army, led as many as 10,000 cavalry.  I quietly approached him and stood on the slope in the distance to watch. One can imagine how depressed and angry Li Mao was at this moment.

    "Your Highness, what should we do now? Are we still attacking the city?" Cao Da, the general of the Northern Xinjiang Army, obviously saw the anxiety in Yan King Li Mao's heart and asked cautiously.

    "Attack!" He uttered the word through gritted teeth. Li Mao stared at Ma Dan's cavalry in the distance and said fiercely, "I don't believe he dares to attack! - If this person really has the courage, I, the king, will  Go out in person and remove the dog's head from his neck!"

    "I have the order!" Cao Da accepted the order with his fists clasped, and immediately issued the order to attack the city.  Although he was indeed frightened by the terrifying strength of the Jizhou Army in annihilating the Three Kings and the Taiping Army in a very short period of time, it did not mean that he would feel fear in his heart. After all, the 40,000 Yuyang Iron Cavalry were not the least bit powerful.  The land was kept intact, let alone Ma Dan's 10,000 cavalry, so what if Xie An led the entire Jizhou army to come in person?

    "Siege the city!"

    But seeing Cao Daring's flag waved, nearly 30,000 northern Xinjiang soldiers immediately launched an offensive against Jijing. This arrogance made Ma Dan's deputy general Wu Xing slightly stunned.

    "What a good fellowyou really dare to attack the city?"

    Hearing Wu Xing muttered to himself, Ma Dan chuckled, raised his head to look at the 40,000 Yuyang cavalry who were waiting solemnly in the distance, and said calmly, "No matter what you dare or dare not, I am confident! In fact, he wants me to wait for this moment.  Let¡¯s kill him!¡±

    "Oh? How can you see it?"

    "Have you not seen that 30,000 to 40,000 cavalrymen are ready to go but are motionless? If we dare to act rashly, His Royal Highness, King Yan of Northern Xinjiang, will undoubtedly order those 40,000 cavalrymen to devour our army  " Ma Dan said calmly.

    "Well -" Wu Xing nodded when he heard the words, and said, "I have heard about the reputation of Yuyang Iron Cavalry for a long time. Looking at my country, I am afraid that only this Yuyang Iron Cavalry is qualified to compete with Mistress Liangqiu.  The Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army under his control competes for the reputation of the most elite cavalry in the Great Zhou Dynasty. In addition, even our Jizhou Army is probably not as good as But having said that, since Li Mao has never taken us seriously,  He dared to continue attacking the city in front of our army, why didn't he order the Yuyang cavalry to pursue us?"

    "Isn't this simple?" Ma Dan sneered and said with some displeasure, "Because it's not that Li Mao has never taken us in his eyes, it's that he has never taken us in his eyes at all! - I'm not here  ???He attacks the city, I am waiting, he attacks the city anyway!  Even if we go to harass him, I'm afraid in his eyes, it will just be as ridiculous and overestimating as a tree-shaking earthworm.  "

    Wu Xing frowned when he heard this and said displeasedly, "This is really irritating! - What should I do, old horse?"

    "What should I do? What do you think I should do?" Licking his lips, Ma Dan's eyes flashed fiercely and he said viciously, "Since he doesn't look down on me at all, then why not give him a big gift? - Although  You and I also know that it is difficult to defeat the famous Yuyang Cavalry, but why not play with it?"

    "Hey!" Wu Xing understood immediately and raised his hand. Suddenly, the ten thousand cavalry near the slope were ready to charge.

    Li Mao, King of Yan, obviously also noticed the strange movements of Ma Dan's army. He narrowed his eyes with a bit of anger and said in his heart that I will ignore you and let you wait for a way out, but you actually dare to come in turn.  Flirting my beard?

    Thinking of this, King Yan Li Mao snorted coldly, raised his right hand, pointed the horse whip in the direction of Ma Dan's army, and shouted in a deep voice, "Xiao Huo, bring that general's dog head to see me!"

    Xiao Huo, who was originally the most restless young general among the Five Tigers of Northern Xinjiang after You Dou, his eyes lit up after hearing Li Mao's words, and he immediately brought 10,000 Yuyang cavalry to fight against the Ma Dan Army.

    However, what is surprising is that Ma Danjun, who was clearly in an attacking posture, suddenly turned around and fled south.

    Seeing this, Xiao Huo was shocked and angry. He led 10,000 Yuyang cavalry in hot pursuit. After all, his cavalry finally got a chance to play, how could he let it go so easily?

    "I thought I had so much ability just a mob!"

    Seeing Xiao Huo, the youngest general in his own army, carrying 10,000 Yuyang cavalry to chase Ma Dan's army, King Yan Li Mao sneered, but he didn't care and continued to focus on the siege.  After all, conquering Hebei and regaining the throne are the top priorities. Other than that, everything is trivial to Li Mao.

    However, what surprised Li Mao was that after half an hour, the Ma Dan army returned to the slope where they originally stood and watched. However, Xiao Huo's 10,000 Yuyang cavalry did not come back.

    Li Mao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. It wasn¡¯t that he was worried about the safety of Xiao Huo and others. After all, 10,000 Yuyang cavalry were an extremely terrifying existence. He just suddenly realized that Ma Dan on the other side might not be just an ordinary general.

    "In less than half an hour, you can get rid of all my Yuyang cavalry. This tactic is very familiar Who is Ma Dan?"

    Looking into the distance, Li Mao murmured to himself.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
