    When Lu Yao's second military order reached the Xianbei cavalry camp, the camp was noisy with men and horses. Almost all the Hu warriors were already in uniform and armed with swords and guns.  The Jizhou rebels did not attack the camp four or five miles away from the Youzhou Army headquarters. However, when some particularly fierce Xianbei people looked through the sparse antlers on the edge of the camp, they noticed several rebel cavalry patrolling in the distance.  At this time, they started to yell and scream, impatiently trying to get out of the camp to drive them back.  Fortunately, as the commander-in-chief, Duan Wenyang still remembered Lu Daoming's instructions and strictly prohibited his subordinates from acting rashly.  For some warriors who were particularly eager to fight, he simply gathered them around the fire pit to eat and drink.  An unknown beast was skinned clean and roasted over a fire until the oil was obtained. The aroma of meat and burnt meat emitted together, making people mouth-watering.  Everyone used their knives to cut off the half-cooked meat and eat it. They ate a mouthful of meat, drank a sip of bad wine in a skin, and chewed a few mouthfuls of multigrain pancakes.  After eating and drinking happily, someone sang a Xianbei tune with a simple rhythm in a hoarse voice, and someone else flapped their scabbards to harmonize with it. The singing with a vast and vast artistic conception was repeated endlessly.  The character of the Xianbei people is indeed simple and unsophisticated. When they are happy with eating and drinking, they can only think about eating and drinking. For a while, no one mentioned the matter of going out to fight in the camp.  Even if the military envoys sent by General Pingbei came close, everyone didn't care.  Only Duan Wenyang stood up.  As the leader of the Xianbei cavalry and the right Sima of the Pingbei Military Mansion, Duan Wenyang understands the military government system better than anyone else.  He knew that the envoys who delivered military orders in the Youzhou Army were not ordinary soldiers, but were served by assistants such as soldiers and meritorious officials in the military mansion, and their status was extraordinary.  So he took a few steps early and did not accept the order. Instead, he enthusiastically raised an animal leg in his hand: "How do you like it? Try it?" Half of the animal leg was burnt by the fire, and the other half was still bloody and fishy.  The air of coquettishness hits my nostrils.  The envoy quickly turned sideways and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.  The Xianbei people have a fierce temperament. Although they know how to obey the strong, they do not know the etiquette of the Han family, and they lack the idea of ??superiority and inferiority.  Therefore, sometimes we clearly want to express goodwill, but it is difficult for people to accept it.  Even in the Pingbei military mansion where many barbarians were driven away, the reputation of the Xianbei people was not very good.  When General Pingbei appointed Duan Wenyang as the right commander of the military government, some people warned that trusting the Hu people too much might lead to violence and accidents in the future. Wang Pengzu's fate was a lesson learned from the past.  However, in these troubled times, the Xianbei people's military force is an extremely important part of the Youzhou Army.  When dealing with other people, you must be extra tolerant.  Thinking like this, the military envoy bowed slightly and said: "Thank you Sima for the generous gift. Unfortunately, the military affairs are urgent, so I can accept it later." "That's okay." Duan Wenyang took back the animal leg nonchalantly: "General  What orders do you have?" "My lord, the whole army is ready for war. In addition, please go to the base camp immediately to discuss matters." "Okay!" Duan Wenyang nodded solemnly.  He crunched the beast's leg in three or five bites, then pursed his lips and made a loud whistle. The horse slave from a little distance heard the sound and immediately brought his horse over.  He got on his horse and shouted loudly in Xianbei dialect: "Wuxi Tu! Duan Buyan! He Loumi! Balie begged to return! Bring your capable men and follow me to see the general! Duan Lie Fengda, He Lanju, Mo Dajian  , you guys keep an eye on the bastards get ready to fight at any time!" Everyone responded to the order in a loud voice, and the huge camp became more and more noisy.  Duan Wenyang and dozens of other cavalrymen rolled out of the ground with much greater momentum than when the military envoy arrived, immediately attracting the attention of the rebels.  Among the rebel cavalry that was originally circling in the distance, some knights galloped closer. After seeing clearly the movements of the Xianbei people, they separated into several cavalry and returned.  Soon more knights caught up.  They formed a formation a few hundred or dozens of steps away from Duan Wenyang and others, but did not press any closer.  Seen from a distance, the two cavalry teams marching hand in hand looked like two fiery snakes flying fast against the ground.  Duan Buyan, a close subordinate of Duan Wenyang, looked towards the direction of the enemy cavalry for a long time, and said eagerly: "The man riding the yellow gelding is their leader. I will take ten people to kill him!" He Loumi was the youngest among the Xianbei cavalry.  He was the longest and had a more stable character. He leaned over and held the bridle for Duan Bu: "The general's camp is just ahead. Don't cause trouble." Before he finished speaking, an arrow flew from the rebel side.  It passed between He Loumi's chin and short beard, scratched the flesh on the side of his neck, and disappeared crookedly into the darkness on the other side.  He Loumi was furious.  He turned his head and saw a rebel knight putting down the horn bow in his hand, and he quickly raised his horse.  Before the horse could turn its head, he had already twisted around, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, aimed at the man and fired hard at him.  Maybe the distance between the two sides was a little far, or maybe the continuous rain had an impact on the elasticity of the bowstring. The arrow did not hit the enemy knight, but hit the head of the horse under the knight's crotch.  The war horse whined and fell sideways.  The knight was alsoHe fell to the ground and scrambled to get up.  The people in Xianbei burst into laughter, not sure whether they were laughing at their opponent's embarrassment or at He Loumi's poor shooting skills.  In the time it took for the arrow to return, the headquarters of the Youzhou Army had arrived.  The rebels reined in their horses one after another and stopped outside the shooting range of the archery tower at the edge of the camp.  Duan Wenyang and others galloped in and no longer struggled with him.  The battle surrounding the base camp has lasted for less than half an hour.  On the fortress that stretched for several miles from east to west, the Youzhou Army and the rebels were intertwined, fighting repeatedly along the barriers formed by the fortress walls or carts.  The torches held high by both sides were like swarms of fireflies, intertwining, entwining, gathering, and scattering with each other; many camps were ignited by the torches thrown by the rebels, and blazing flames shot into the sky.  In the darkness where the firelight could not reach, dense arrows roared and flew in all directions, intensifying the chaos of this night battle.  A guard led Duan Wenyang through the camp and toward the north.  From the beginning of the battle, Lu Yao stayed at the camp gate due north to directly command the battle.  This is the direction where the Jizhou Army's main attack is.  When Duan Wenyang climbed up the wall of the village, he saw hundreds of people fighting and fighting in a very small area, and the shouts were deafening.  On the clearly separated front lines between the two armies, blood splattered like rain, and broken arms and limbs flew everywhere.  At a crenel a few feet away from Lu Yao, two rebel soldiers suddenly climbed up the wall of the village and slashed with long-handled swords.  A Youzhou soldier was stabbing the enemy below with a long spear. He had no time to dodge, and was suddenly stabbed in the waist, with his organs gushing out from the huge wound.  Seeing the misery of their companions, the other Youzhou soldiers were furious. They pressed their shoulders against the big shield and pushed forward like a wall, immediately forcing the enemy into the corner.  The remaining men stabbed repeatedly with their spears through the gaps between the shields. Every time they stabbed, a scream came from the other side of the shield wall.  A large amount of sticky blood flowed everywhere, all the way to Lu Yao's feet, and then seeped down through the gaps in the wooden boards.  In the blink of an eye, three people were killed.  And this is just an inconspicuous part of the long battle line.  The bravery of the Youzhou army is certainly outstanding, and the persistence of the Jizhou army is also beyond imagination.  This army, whose backbone was made up of beggars, didn't seem to mind its own losses at all; it was like a ferocious giant beast. Even if it was covered with wounds, as long as the blood was not drained, it would only attack again and again without any hesitation.  Fang Qinzhi and other civilian staff who were accompanying Lu Yao all hid their faces and trembled, not daring to look again.  Such a brutal fight happened before their eyes, which was beyond the limit of their endurance.  And these soldiers died heroically, but they were shamelessly seduced by some traitors This is even more heartbreaking.  "You Sima." Lu Yao raised his voice.  Duan Wenyang seemed to be frightened by murderous intent.  He bowed deeply: "Here." "The momentum of the rebels has declined. After dawn, I immediately launched a counterattack. When the Chinese army's flag signals, you lead the Xianbei assault cavalry to attack the flank" Lu Yao waved his hand: "Chisel  Wear their formation!" Duan Wenyang thought for a moment and frowned.  "What's wrong?" "The rebels are indeed good at fighting. If we hold the camp for a few more hours, we may be able to use up their energy" As a Xianbei general who is proficient in cavalry tactics, it has almost become Duan Wenyang's instinct to judge the right time to fight.  .  He was very sure that the rebels' fighting spirit was far from exhausted around dawn. If they counterattacked at this time, the Youzhou Army would suffer additional losses.  "No." Lu Yao flatly rejected Duan Wenyang's suggestion: "We must launch a counterattack at dawn. Then, we will fight for an hour and reorganize for an hour. By noon, I want the Youji and Hebei armies to reintegrate into one and engage in the next battle.  "The next battle?" "That's right. Bo Sheng suddenly rebelled. I suspect that the bandits from the Central Plains may have intervened to stir up trouble Even if they didn't intervene, our army will be in chaos this time.  I'm afraid he won't let go of this God-given opportunity" Lu Yao stared ahead and pressed his finger and metacarpal joints until the joints crackled softly: "I have sent orders to Shen Jin and Ma Zeming. If the thieves come to attack, we must attack.  They tried their best to block it. No soldiers were allowed to come here before noon. "What about after noon?" Duan Wenyang asked subconsciously.  If the army led by the Central Plains bandits Kou Shile and Wang Mi really attack, the Youzhou army will have no choice but to fight to the death with them.  Moreover, it was under the circumstances that the entire army had not completely crossed the river and the Jizhou Army, which accounted for more than half of the troops, rebelled.  The generals behind Lu Yao looked at each other with solemnity.  When the Youzhou Army was rampaging across northern Xinjiang, the names of Shi Le and Wang Mi were just names.  But since they went south to King Qin, these two giant bandits have rampaged across several states and defeated hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers and horses, so the generals had to pay attention to them and have to be extremely vigilant.  Fang Qinzhi knew that Lu Jun was here on behalf of Shi Le, so he rubbed his hands uneasily.Holding hands, taking two steps forward, wanting to say something.  He immediately realized that first of all, Lu Jun's mission must not be mentioned publicly; secondly, given the ferocity and cunningness of the bandits, the so-called proposal of the two families to stop fighting was probably a link in a series of Shi Le's plans In other words, You  The state army fell into Shi Le Wang Mi's calculations from the very beginning!  Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Fang Qinzhi quietly returned to his original position.  Lu Yao could see Duan Wenyang's doubts, the generals' anxiety, and Fang Qinzhi's hesitation.  Indeed, he had not faced such a critical moment for a long time. A strong sense of tension filled Lu Yao's body, making his heart beat faster and his blood surge.  This sense of tension is intertwined with the sense of mission that heaven will entrust to the people and the incomparable desire for victory, making Lu Yao fearless and pushing him to move forward bravely.  Lu Yao laughed: "It is what a man should do to hold a three-foot sword and compete with the heroes of the world. As you know, a hero can only show his true colors when the sea is flowing." For the fastest updated and error-free novel reading, please visit and bookmark this site to read.  The latest novel!
