Chapter 159 (1/2)
Huangfusong understood the importance of Sanfu, and he said without a word. If he lost Sanfu and the imperial mausoleum was excavated, the Lingdi had to pick off his skin.
Therefore, huangfusong ordered the whole army to march in a hurry and passed Tongguan in one breath. The magnificent city of Chang'an suddenly appeared. This huge city was the political center of the whole world 200 years ago, with 12 gates and 8 main roads. The population was close to 300000, which was enough to be a county.
However, today's Chang'an city is still considered safe. Chang'an city is surrounded by Sanfu, while the Qiang people's iron hooves stop at anding County on the west side of Yongzhou.
”The left chariot and the three auxiliary forces are densely populated. Instead of defending passively, our army might as well resist the enemy outside the country. How about a certain army going to Xinping County?”
Huangfusong is in the middle of the army, and Liu Ye is fighting the horse. The former army comes over.
”The Qiang bandits are stationed in Anding county and Guangwei county. Xinping county is afraid that they are also covetous. You should be more careful.” Huangfu song seriously admonished.
The area of Sanfu is very large, and Xinping County and Fufeng County are adjacent to jingzhaoyin, but the area is only about one fifth of that of Fufeng County, which is regarded as the outpost and pedal to attack Sanfu. Beigong Boyu certainly can't let go of it. Maybe he has already sent troops to occupy it.
Liu Ye goes to Xinping county with 1200 people under his hand. Knowing that most of the Qiang people are cavalry, Liu Ye sends dozens of sentries to spy out information within five miles. Instead of rushing forward, he slows down the speed.
It was a great pleasure for two Han soldiers to gallop on the broad field. However, they were so nervous that it was very easy to detect their opponents on the vast northwest land, but it was also difficult to hide their bodies.
”Lao Zhang, there seems to be someone ahead.”
Hearing the reminder of his companion, Lao Zhang looked up and saw that five horses were riding in front of him. The horses' hooves were full of smoke and dust. Although they could not see their facial features clearly, they were basically Huqi.
”It's coming so fast that we must report it to Sima immediately.”
Lao Zhang's face was awe inspiring. The Horseman on the opposite side held a bow. At first glance, he knew that it was the sentinel of the Qiang people's cavalry, not ordinary herdsmen. How could a herdsman be equipped with armor?
When an enemy's sentry is encountered, it usually means that the enemy is within five li. After all, the scope of investigation is quite clear.
Lao Zhang yelled to another: ”go! Report the military information to Sima. ”
”Lao Zhang, how about you?”
Lao Zhang stretched out his hand and took out his long bow. He turned back and called out, ”turn around and report the military situation. I will buy you time.”
Now the situation is very clear, two on five, not to mention the victory of the first World War, can escape is good.
”No! When a Han becomes a Wuhu, this group of Qiang thieves will know han'er's power. ”
He gritted his teeth and said that he would not leave. Lao Zhang was very angry and kept yelling at him, but he soon stopped because the horse was coming.
”Bow, ready to shoot!”
Lao Zhang exclaimed, two people hold the riding bow together, the arrow aimed at their own target.
Seven plumes of smoke and dust were flying face to face. The five horsemen and the two Han riders were getting closer and closer. The distance between the two sides entered into the effective range, and the bowstring and arrow shot out face-to-face.
The two sides have just shot an arrow, and immediately Dodge, or use the riding bow to open the arrow.
