- Chapter 478: Heading East
When the sun has not yet risen, the Qingqi from Shanziying are already ready to go. Each person carried dry food for a week. As for what they would eat after a week, they did not have to worry about it. This was something the general needed to consider. Fang Jie had already told them their destination. Even if they ran non-stop without any obstacles, they would still have to run for a month, but The cavalry would never be able to carry enough food and fodder for a month.
After putting on his military robe, Fang Jie glanced to the east when he went out.
That is the direction in which the sun rises, the direction of light.
In addition to Shen Qingshan, the other two women, Mu Xiaoyao and Wanyan Yunshu, also put on armor. Mu Xiaoyao was wearing the standard armor of Ouchi Guards Department Qianhu, red leather armor, red cloak, leather helmet and riding boots, and he looked heroic. Wanyan Yunshu wears a thin-ringed chain armor, which can effectively block arrows. The cost of this piece of chain armor is enough to cover the expenses of a middle-income family for several years.

Fang Jie took more than a hundred of his cronies out of his residence and mounted their horses. After joining the light cavalry from Shanzi Camp, they set off. More than a thousand cavalry looked quite majestic. Sun Kaidao, Xiahou Baichuan, Chen Banshan, Lu Fenghou and other generals got up early in the morning and waited outside the camp gate. When they came out, they all clasped their fists and saluted.
"Have a safe journey, General!"
Sun Kaidao bowed his head to the ground.
Fang Jie had nothing more to say, so he nodded and rushed out of the camp. The light cavalry behind slowly increased their speed and rushed down the mountain along the winding mountain road. On this trip, because there was no Hanqi battalion to follow, everyone felt a little unsure, but they knew what kind of temper Fang Jie was and would not risk his death rashly. When the army goes to war, the soldiers will unconditionally trust the general.
There are about seventy or eighty people in Feiyupao, ten people in the service camp, plus fifty people from Fang Jie's personal troops, which are Fang Jie's trusted bodyguards, and behind them are more than 1,100 light cavalrymen from the Shanzi Battalion. These elite infantrymen who were once the left avant-garde have completely transformed and now become qualified cavalry. They fulfilled the instructions given to them by Fang Jie at the beginning and treated the war horses as their own comrades.
After the team descended from the mountain, they quickly climbed onto the official road and headed southeast along the flat road.
"Report"
Less than ten miles out, the scouts in front suddenly rushed back and reported: "General, five miles ahead, Wanyan Zhongde led his men and horses to block the way forward."
Hearing this sentence, Fang Jie was slightly startled, and then smiled gently at Wanyan Yunshu. The latter's face was full of worry when she heard the news, and Fang Jie's gentle smile warmed her chilled heart again.
"Keep moving forward"
Fang Jie waved his hand and urged his horse forward.
Turning around a forest, Fang Jie saw a group of cavalry lying on the official road in the distance, blocking the road ahead.
"You stay here, I'll go there by myself."
Fang Jie gave an order and took his horse forward. Wanyan Yunshu knocked on the horse and followed. Fang Jie glanced at her but did not stop her.
Arriving in front of the cold cavalry, Fang Jie reined in his horse and looked at Wanyan Zhongde.
Wanyan Zhongde waited for a while but didn't see Fang Jie speak, then he smiled mockingly: "I just want to persuade you one more time before you leave, Yun Shu, you should know what kind of choice you have made. If Father Khan knew You can imagine how angry and disappointed I will be. The reason why I didn't go to you again last night was to give you a night to calm down. Now I have to ask you again seriously, and I really haven't returned it. room?¡±
Fang Jie shook his head, as if he didn't even bother to say anything.
Wanyan Zhongde looked at his sister, but saw that her sister's eyes were looking at Fang Jie infatuatedly.
He couldn¡¯t help but sigh: ¡°It seems it¡¯s unnecessary for me to ask again.¡±
He drew his saber: "But I have to do something."
Fang Jie smiled gently at Wanyan Yunshu and said, "You go back first and I'll take care of it."
Wanyan Yunshu shook his head, looked at Wanyan Zhongde and said: "Brother, I know that you are not happy, but I also know that you love me. But for the sake of the tribe, you must make the most correct choice. This That's what a qualified Khan needs to do, so I don't blame you. But I won't go back with you. I feel sorry for the people of Bei Liao, but I also have the right to choose my own destination, brother. If you don¡¯t want to hurt me, can you please step aside?¡±
Wanyan Zhongde shook his head: "You are wrong"
Wanyan Yunshu¡¯s expression changed, and a deep sadness flashed in his eyes.
Wanyan Zhongde suddenly laughed: "As I said before, I am asking you as the successor to the throne of Northern Liao. This is my duty.?Need to do. But then my identity is just that of Wanyan Yunshu's brother. Last night I asked Sarbei to lead a large group of people back to Shiwanda Mountain. The sons and daughters left behind are all people who are willing to help you as friends. I am not here to stop you, I am here to protect my sister. "
Wanyan Yunshu's nose felt sore and he couldn't help but jump off his horse and run over. Wanyan Zhongde dismounted, hugged his sister and said with a smile: "Do you still remember what I told you when you were a child? I don't want you to do it. A beautiful white lotus blooming on Shiwan Mountain, I would rather you be a little bird and be free. Now I will fulfill my promise. I will persuade my father when I go back, but now I must be a good brother. "
He raised his head and looked at Fang Jie: "Hey, I don't want to lose a friend."
Fang Jie smiled: "Me too"

The cavalry dismounted and quickly swept the battlefield, dragging all the corpses down and stacking them together.
Qilin commanded loudly: "Be quick, take off all your clothes, bring food, grass, and an arrow scimitar, and don't need anything else!"
The light cavalry and the cold cavalry dismounted and tied all the useful things in the camp to the horses.
This is an outpost set up by the Mongolian people, with about three hundred cavalry stationed there. In order to clear the way for the army, Meng Yuan Teqin Kuoketai Menglie, who led the army, left hundreds of people to garrison every hundred miles or so. These Mongolian and Yuan cavalry built a camp on one side of the official road and had nothing to do all day long. It has been three years since they arrived in the northwest, and the vigilance of these wolf riders has obviously relaxed a lot. They were used to enjoying the food and meat sent by the rebels. Except for occasional hunting, they had not shown their machetes for a long time.
On the fourth day after descending from the mountain, the scouts discovered this Mongolian outpost. Fang Jie and Wanyan Zhongde discussed it and immediately decided to eradicate it. That night, more than a thousand light cavalry and about two thousand cold cavalry baptized the post with arrows, killing the unsuspecting Mongolian cavalry in their sleep. Most of the wolf riders were killed before they even had time to put on their armor. Some people knelt down and begged for mercy, but they never got a chance to live.
Although this outpost is small, it has plenty of food and grass. For the three thousand cavalry, although they only collected barely enough food for three days, victory always makes people happy.
"There will be such outposts in front of us, not just the Meng Yuan barbarians. The further east we go, the closer we are to the rebel base camp, and the more outposts the rebels will set up. As long as you are careful and fast enough, you can steal food and grass. If we just leave, the rebels won¡¯t be able to catch up with us.¡±
Fang Jie unfolded the map, pointed at it and said, "However, we will pass through Fengcheng in three days. I passed by Fengcheng when I left Fangu for Chang'an. Fengcheng is the seat of Fengjun County, and the city walls are tall and strong. Rebels are bound to It is heavily guarded. We are all cavalry and cannot attack the city. There are only two ways to get through. "
"The first is to go around the Camel Mountain. It takes about ten days to walk. And on the other side of the Camel Mountain is the camp of the Meng Yuan general Bai Huo, with 10,000 wolf cavalry. The rebel young cavalry, but the wolf cavalry It¡¯s not slower than us at all.¡±
Wanyan Zhongde nodded: "What about the second method?"
Fang Jie was silent for a while and said: "The second method is more dangerous"
"Tell me"
Wan Yan's virtue.
"Do you still remember that we asked people to leave all the clothes and flags of the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry?"
Fang explained the question.
Wanyan Zhongde was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "Are you going to pretend to be a Meng Yuan person and just pass through?"
Fang Jie nodded: "The rebels had no defense against the Meng Yuan people. Because of Li Yuanshan's strict order, the rebels even treated the Meng Yuan barbarians as ancestors. Let's put on these hundreds of sets of clothes and bring the Meng Yuan people's The flag goes straight forward. As long as you don't show your big braids, you won't see much difference from the Mengyuan people. As long as we can enter the city, it won't take too long to rush out of the east gate along the main street. If If I remember correctly, Fengcheng is less than five miles from east to west."
"What about the rest?"
Wanyan Zhongde asked: "After all, we only have three hundred sets of Mongolian armor in hand."
"The others took off their armor."
Fang Jie said: "After the Mongolian Yuan people arrived in the northwest, they plundered property and captured a large number of young and strong people as slaves. It is normal for a Mongolian Yuan cavalry to have two or three retinues with him. As long as the weapons and armor are not exposed, the rebels will not Dare to interrogate the Meng Yuan people too closely."
"It's really too risky."
Wanyan Zhongde pondered for a while and said: "Once we are discovered after entering the city, the cavalry will not be able to move at all if we are blocked in the city."
Fang Jie nodded: "Wait for the news first, I have sent scouts to sneak into Feng."The city inquired about the news. We first need to know how many rebels are stationed in Fengcheng before making a decision. Let¡¯s leave here first, after all, we are still three days away from Fengcheng. "
After the discussion, the team continued their journey, encountering almost no rebels along the way. It can be seen that most of the rebel forces have been transferred to the front line of Xiangcheng, and the rear is particularly empty. On the third day, the team stopped thirty miles west of Fengcheng. The scouts sent before were already waiting here.
It is not difficult for the people in Feiyupao to sneak into the city. After all, this is the rear of the rebels. The city gate is not closed all day. Chen Xiaoru personally took a few flying fish robes to sneak in, pretending to be young masters from a wealthy family, and after two days of exploring the city, he came out without any obstruction.
"There are not many rebels guarding the city."
Chen Xiaoru said: "My subordinates and their men stayed in the city for two days, and found out that the guard general of Fengcheng was named Liu Han. He was once the governor of Fengcheng County. When Li Yuanshan led troops to attack Fengcheng, the governor committed suicide and died for his country. , Liu Han was afraid of death and led his men to open the door to surrender. But this man was not the same as Li Yuanshan's rebels, and it was said that he took good care of the people. "
"In addition, my subordinates also found out that just half a month ago, there were at least 30,000 rebels in Fengcheng. Half a month ago, Li Yuanshan sent people to remove most of the troops, leaving only about 5,000 in the city. People around.¡±
Hearing this news, Fang Jie frowned slightly.
Li Yuanshan has already begun to mobilize troops from the rear, indicating that he is beginning to prepare for a counterattack. If Sun Kaidao's speculation is correct, the decisive battle will come soon.
"Get ready and enter the city immediately."
Fang Jie gave an order, then turned back to Wanyan Zhongde and said, "It's up to you. Your people understand the Mongolian barbarian language and pretend to be Mongolian wolf cavalry. You and I will be at the front, and let the cold cavalry hide their big braids." The men in the leather helmets and I walked behind, pretending to be followers."
Wanyan Zhongde was inevitably nervous. He took a deep breath and said, "If I follow you out, my courage will be scared."
Fang Jie laughed loudly, put on the uniform of the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry, then wiped his beard and hung up his machete.
"Look like?"
he asks.
Mu Xiaoyao smiled: "It makes me want to look at you with a knife."
Fang Jie nodded and said, "That's it. As long as the city gate is not closed, there aren't many rebels in the city anyway. At worst, they can get through."
The flag of the Meng Yuan people was raised, and the flying wolf on the flag looked so unwilling. - Didn't finish reading?
