Chapter 548(1/3)
"Lang Jun, the enemy is coming."
Wang Laoer ran back with his men.
"How many men and horses?"
Yang Xuan is inspecting the iron mine and learning about the key points of mining ore.
"Four to fifty thousand!"
Wang Laoer said with a smile.
This heartless person... Even if a hundred thousand enemy troops come, I guess he will still look like this.
Everyone looked at Yang Xuan.
Qin Yuan's cheek twitched, "Tuyan is out in force. The last time he did this was because his brother died in battle, so he raised a large army to besiege Jianling City. When the siege was lifted, everyone in the city lost weight."
The sergeant under his command praised: "The envoy has long expected this day, so he has prepared food and grass early. He only needs to guard the mountain road, and Tu Yan can only look forward to it and sigh."
Yang Xuan turned around.
"Attack!"
This is the opportunity that Yang Xuan has been waiting for for a long time.
Qin Yuan followed him closely, "Your Majesty, why don't you hold on first?"
Forty to fifty thousand people, it’s a huge area of darkness!
Yang Xuan said: "What are you holding on to?"
Qin Yuan refused to give up, "How about sending someone to Jianling to ask for help? I am willing to go!"
"No need."
Chen Zhoujun walked out of the pass in silence and slowly descended the mountain.
Qin Yuan turned around and looked for his two sergeants.
"You two go to Jianling quickly and report the attack by Tu Yan's army."
The two left quietly.
Not long after leaving, Qin Yuan heard muffled thunder in the distance.
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Woohoo!
The horn of the bull horn blows.
"Enemy found!"
The sergeant on the lookout screamed, "About...50,000."
"Array up!"
Yang Xuan rode his horse to the front.
The sound of footsteps shook the ground, and from time to time the roar of bandits could be heard.
The mountain wind howled from above, like a ghost shouting.
There were gradually more dark clouds in the sky.
"If it rains in this weather, it will be freezing!" Yang Xuan couldn't help but think of his wife at home.
I wonder how her medicinal field is doing with this weather.
Han Jice immediately stepped forward and said, "Lang Jun, the enemy army is strong, be careful and charge straight into the formation."
"Won't."
Yang Xuan is very confident.
"Tuyan may dare to others, but he doesn't dare to me!"
Two miles away, the bandits stopped.
Han Ji glanced at Yang Xuan.
"The enemy seems to be very confident!" Yang Xuan said with a smile.
On the opposite side, more than a dozen burly bandits stepped out of the array and were showing off their power.
"The Tang army is less than five thousand!" Tu Yan said with a smile: "Tell the warriors that there are countless grains, countless horses and weapons on the opposite side. Whoever grabs it, I will only take 50% of it, and the rest will be theirs!"
The order was met with cheers.
"I saw Yang Gou, he is very young!" Tuyan pointed to the banner with the word "Yang", "In the past, when the army came out, Sun Ying would huddle in the city.
Today is a rare good opportunity to defeat them, and then, with the help of morale, we can destroy Mengju in one go.
Gather the army again and destroy Fengzhou, and I will be proclaimed emperor!"
A long time ago, someone once unified the mountain bandits and gathered a large army to run rampant. Even the Tang army in Fengzhou had to retreat.
But later on, that man became old and confused, and his subordinates fell into pieces. It was not until more than ten years ago that Tuyan and Mengju were reunited into two groups.
Tuyan has always had the ambition to unify the bandits again. "Why was there civil strife back then? It was because he didn't proclaim himself emperor. If he were proclaimed emperor, each of his subordinates would be appointed as generals and each would be responsible for his own affairs. How could there be civil strife?"
"Yes!" The elder is also a supporter of this plan. "For a long time, the king has been looking for opportunities. Today, the opportunity has come."
Someone exclaimed, "So the king is not just attacking for food?"
Tu Yan said calmly: "There is a shortage of food, and the old and the weak will take the initiative to go into the mountains and give it to the beasts to make delicious food.
The animals eat them to nourish themselves and grow meat, and they will become our food next year.
And the family will consume less food. In this way, lack of food is not a problem.
My goal has never been food, but... unification!"
He raised his hand.
His subordinates held their heads high.
"Attack!"
Twenty thousand bandits rushed out.
"While waiting for the Tang army to support itself, attack from the right."
"Take orders!"
Tuyan laughed and said: "Does Yang Gou think that this king will send out all his subordinates at once? That is a chaotic war."
He had read The Art of War and studied it carefully.
Moreover, he continued to hone his skills while fighting with Fengzhou and Mengju, and now, he has achieved success.
"Long live the king!" someone cheered.
The crossbows of the Tang army on the opposite side began to fire.
Amid the miserable howls, a void appeared, which was quickly filled by the following bandits.
"The morale of the warriors is high!" Tu Yan said with a smile.
"The king has trained well." The elder looked at his king with admiration.
In the past few years, Tuyan has been expanding its strength. While fighting Fengzhou, controlling the mines, and exchanging food and weapons with Beiliao, Tuyan has also been friction with the Mongolian Ju tribe to continuously expand its territory.
His prestige is also getting higher and higher in the process.
Ambition cannot be suppressed, from being king and hegemon to being emperor.
"Go up!"
The bandits ran into the Tang army's formation.
Suddenly it fell down.
"The spears of the Tang army are very sharp!" the elder said.
On the opposite side, Yang Xuan also praised: "These bandits are indeed good hunters in Wuthering Mountains. If they can train well, they will be elites."
"So, after this battle, can the prisoners be reorganized?" Jiang He'er organized documents for Yang Xuan and saw a lot about Chen Zhoujun.
Yang Xuan shook his head.
"Why?"
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts!"
Jiang Heer pursed his lips, "I'm from a foreign race too!"
"The Southern Zhou Dynasty was a dynasty established by people from the Central Plains. Hundreds of years ago, your ancestors were also from the Chen Kingdom!"
"Oh!" Jiang He'er felt inexplicably happy and looked at Yang Xuan's side face, "It looks so fierce!"
"So vicious?" Yang Xuan thought she was talking about bandits, "It's just a little bit of anger, it won't last long."
To be continued...
