Li Maozhen frowned as he looked at the military newspaper in his hand.
The weather is getting warmer. Even if you live in the north of Youzhou, the noon sun seems to be burning, which means that summer is coming. At the same time, this also means that the Khitan Army's offensives against Ping and Qiang have continued for more than a month.
Li Yan was unable to leave Chang'an, and he was given full control over the battle in the north by Qi King. This put pressure on Li Maozhen. In the past two months, it has been a long time in the night, and I have never had a moment of leisure.
Fortunately, despite the fierce fighting in the northern border, the war situation is not strange. Tang Jun is still in the first stage of the war. According to Li Zhi's arrangement, Tang Jun mainly adopted defensive forces at this stage, relying on the mountains and rivers, and strong bows to consume Khitan military power.
After the Khitan army has lost to a certain extent and the soldiers are exhausted, the war will enter the second stage, and the Tang army will have the possibility of launching a counterattack and marching into the grasslands.
Pingzhou Yuguan and Luzhou Juyongguan are two frontline towns, and now they have blocked the Khitan onslaught. Although the casualties of the soldiers were not small for more than a month, the losses to the Khitan Army were several times greater. If Khitan had no plot, it would be difficult to burn the war to Youzhou City.
Such a scene of war is reasonable.
Since ancient times, as long as the border defense is normal, few grassland cavalry can invade the Central Plains. After the turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, the national strength declined. The three towns in Hebei did not listen to the imperial court orders. Although they were proud soldiers, they did not have any major problems on the sidelines, relying on the power of the town itself.
Before coming from Chang'an, Li Maozhen remembered that Li Xun said that as long as Youyun 16 states are in our hands, and the soldiers can rely on them, the prairie people must attack them honestly, unless we are weak.
The Tang army who fought in the North during these years is naturally not a weak brigade. So even if the Khitan can cross the grassland, it will be difficult for the soldiers to get under the Youzhou city.
With such a situation, Li Maozhen had nothing to worry about.
But she is not a junior general. The fighting situation in the past two months has made her discover something unusual. At this point in the war, although it seems that the Khitan Army has been fully deployed, its combat strength is in front of the Tang Army, but there is nothing to praise.
This is a matter of course.
But Li Maozhen didn't think so.
She had done deductions and estimates carefully. If the Khitan Army had taken out these troops in front of it, even if Tang Jun did not have various powerful weapon crossbows newly developed by the craftsman, they would not have scored the strength of the Great Wall.
"Yaluobaobao hides the Sijin Division! Another army is attacking under the banner of Sijinji in Yuguan. According to the Beikou battle report, these days, the Khitan Army that attacked them was not an ordinary army. Maybe it's Sijinbu! "
There was a flash of light in Li Maozhen's mind, and suddenly he thought of it.
This made her nervous.
After the Khitan army attacked the North Exit, she mobilized half of them to prepare to enter Tanzhou long ago to face the enemy's Tiger Guard who suddenly appeared in Khitan to meet the enemy.
Originally, she thought that this was enough to cope with the situation in Beikou, but based on the current reports from various places, if there are hundreds of thousands of Khitan army outside the Beikou customs, if there is a near division, then half of the Tiger Guards are not enough to defend the city. You have to press them all up!
Li Maozhen thought about it, and immediately called Zhao Bingkun and asked him to lead the remaining 50,000 Tiger Guards to the North Exit.
Since the death of Zhao Nianci, Zhao Bingkun has been in a bad spirit, which is why Li Maozhen sent the Tiger Guard to the battlefield last.
Hearing Li Maozhen's military order, Zhao Bingkun said hoarsely: "If the Tiger Guards were all dispatched, there would be no reserve troops in the hands of Qi King. Now there are battles around the battlefield. If there is any other conspiracy in Qidan, what about Qi King? Not helpless? "
Seeing that Zhao Bingkun was thin and skinny, and the sunken eyes were covered with bloodshot blood, his thoughts were still clear.
The other side is the humerus that helped her to achieve Wang Ye. Although there is no great cause for Qi King now, the soldiers ’followers love her and she always keeps in mind.
"It's summer. It's time to win the war. It's inevitable that we will do our best. As long as we can keep the customs everywhere, we can realize the plan that King An has set in advance."
Having said this, Li Maozhen clenched his fists at Zhao Bingkun. "Thanzhou, please take care of General Zhao!"
Zhao Bingkun returned from the ceremony and took orders. It was enough to say that he did not mean not to accept the military order.
At this time, the Beikou Pass was fighting fiercely.
Countless Khitan infantry ants crawled towards the city wall, led by a monk who jumped up to the city to launch a fierce attack on Shouguan Tang Army. Shouguanguanshi naturally reluctant to be outdone, armed with swords and guns to meet, the two sides collided quickly and turned over, flesh and blood flew.
The two dogs chopped down with one slash, and opened the Khitan warrior in front of him. He was splashed with warm and dirty dirt. He was about to hit the knife again, and accidentally stepped on the opponent's liver under his feet. Although his body was stabilized in time, he was chopped on his shoulder by the Khitan warrior who followed him.
If he did not wear iron armor, this knife would break his arm with shoulders, but with armor protection, the two dogs just felt severe shoulder pain, and gritted his teeth in the horrified eyes of the Khitan soldier, and cut off the opponent's head with one stroke. .
The same robe around Dutou's egg was killed by several monks of Khitan, and he was also entangled by a powerful monk. Seeing that he could not cope with it, he had been cut several times on the armor, two dogs. The roar fluttered in two steps, holding a Qidan monk who wanted to fire a cold gun and fell to the ground.
The two snorted in the pile of blood pools, used their teeth, and finally separated. Although this monk Khitan has not yet achieved his strength, he is also very powerful. The two dogs could not have defeated each other, but eventually stood crooked.
It was him who got up.
This is not only because the two dogs attacked each other and took the lead, but also because his armor was tougher and stronger than the other, and finally he banged his head with his hard pockets and damaged the other party ’s features. This defeated him in a despair .
Frontiers such as the Beikou garrison now have their armored blades of the same size as the Chang'an embargo. They have just finished changing clothes at the beginning of the year, and now they have played an extraordinary role. Although the Khitan people are brave, but on the benefits of the armored soldiers, Tang Jun was a lot.
However, fortunately, the second dog, who had retrieved a life, had no time to stand still, and was shot through the thigh with a hole. The defense was weak here. He fell down in wailing, seeing that the two Khitans who were about to be rushed to death were slashed to death. Suddenly the opponent seemed to have been hit by a firing pin and fell out side by side.
It was Zhang Zai who hit the Khitan people like a bull.
Zhang Zai in front of him couldn't see it. He looked like a blood gourd, and the solid nails were cut through many mouths. The worst thing was that there were two nails hanging down. On the appearance, there were some. Like a beggar.
Zhang Zai pulled up the two dogs and threw them behind him. He picked up a shield plug from the ground and gave it to him. He held the knife and killed the Khitan warrior in front of him. Take the dog down.
If it was half a year ago, when you saw Zhang Zai being able to fight forward in the **** battlefield, Ergouzi would be incredible; if it was five days ago, when you saw Zhang Zai's knife, you still remember the fighting skills, Ergou The son must be dazzled.
If it was three days ago and saw Zhang Zai as the **** of killing, Ergouzi would be stunned.
But now, there is no wave in Ergouzi's heart.
If he wants to say something, he wants to cheer for Zhang Zai.
Since returning as a rider last time, Zhang Zai and others have been entangled in bulls and eggs, asking Dutou to teach him how to fight. Nougat was not very happy at first, but as a leader, his subordinates wanted to train carefully, and he had no reason to fail.
As a result, after three days, the beef egg was no longer Zhang Zai's opponent, whether it was alone or fighting with a team of people.
Being able to become a literary master, Zhang Zai is undoubtedly clever. Many people in the world are dying to read, but there are also soaring wisdom in reading and reading. Zhang Zai clearly belongs to the latter.
No matter what kind of skill, he only needs to teach it once, and he will be able to master it. After he has practiced for a while, he can basically learn from each other. When he wakes up after a sleep, he has already entered the room.
Of course, this is also because Zhang Zai is a writer. Today's scholars are not good at fighting and killing, but the root cause is that they don't look down on the courage of the husband. It is not that the scholars did not pay attention to these from the beginning. The gentleman's six arts, shooting, and imperial are all among them.
The scholar who has no chicken power and can't twist the knife is not a gentleman.
The first Confucian scholars most admired the four words of worshiping and entering the country, which meant that they could go to war and go to war.
Although the literary spirit of the master is not the spirit of the Taoism, the improvement of physical fitness is also obvious. So now Zhang Zai, after experiencing the first day of slaughter and closing his eyes with a slash, and the second day of slaughter knows how to advance and retreat, and the third day of slaughter can use the combat skills freely, now he has grown into a frontier killing god. .
The price is not without.
There were originally three Confucian scholars in the beef egg capital.
But now, Liu Dahe was killed with another Confucian student.
More than thirty Confucian students who arrived at the North Exit in the early days, now there are less than ten. On the eve of the start of the war, a large number of Confucian students arrived. There were as many as three hundred horrific people, and now less than 30% are left.
Compared with the casualties of General Bianguan, the loss ratio of Confucian students is larger and much larger.
The results are not without.
The Confucian students who can still fight now have basically become gods.
If it is only personal bravery, in the eyes of Ergouzi, it cannot be called killing God, but if it is outside of personal bravery, it can also stimulate the blood of the robes next to them and let them be several times stronger than usual. On the killing god.
This is the case with Zhang Zai and Confucian scholars right now.
On the battlefield in the Central Plains, Shangguan Qingcheng had personally seen Yangzhou Confucian scholars, and the outbreak on the battlefield had a sharp effect on the morale of the army. She would be surprised if she stood here now.
Because Zhang Zai and others not only raised the morale of the same robes, the mighty spirit emanating from their bodies, but also enhanced the competencies of their companions, allowing the other party to follow their own cooperation and fight, and their strength has risen to a higher level.
It is a force that is not a warrior's force, but with the same goal.
