Chapter 863

(Thanks to njstar, go with the wind. Both of you support me, thank you!)

It's dusk and the setting sun is like blood.

On the banks of the Yang River, about fifty miles away from the Black Stone Fort in Wuzhou, Yang Lin and a hundred Shatuo Knights were whipping war horses like crazy, urging war horses to gallop.

"drive!"

"drive!"

One hundred and fifty miles away, half of the war horses were exhausted on the way. Fortunately, Li Siyuan gave them two horses. He still wanted to invite reinforcements as much as possible. If he could not arrive at Black Stone Fort before dark, it would be even more difficult to travel at night, and it would take up most of the night. What's more, Yang Lin was still worried that Black Stone Fort, a city next to Yunzhou, was still in the hands of the Qin army.

But now it seems that it is impossible to get to Black Stone Castle before tonight. The war horses are running slower and slower, but there are at least fifty miles away from Black Stone Castle.

Fifty miles away, he will no longer be able to move to the rescuers in time!

The crisp sound of horse hooves rose and fell in the valley, like waves swaying on the reefs.

"Stop!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from the valley.

"Well!"

Yang Lin quickly pulled the horse, and when the horse stopped, he finally couldn't hold on. He knelt down with his front hooves and then fell down. Fortunately, Yang Lin had improved a lot during this period, so he quickly picked the stirrup and jumped off the horse's back, avoiding the bad luck of being crushed under the horse's belly. As soon as he fell off the horse, he immediately took the bow and arrow, and stood up and looked around. Many of the mounts of the hundred Shatu warriors behind him also fell to the ground, and one hundred soldiers protected Yang Lin.

At this time, I saw crossbowmen following behind the stone piles on both sides of the river valley. They had branches on their heads and were wearing camouflage combat uniforms. If they had not appeared on their own, they would not have discovered them at all. These soldiers were holding crossbows, and Yang Lin even found several soldiers who pulled a few branches apart, revealing several extremely ferocious three-bow eight-ox crossbow chariots.

A young man, who was only about fourteen or fifteen years old, stretched out half of his body and shouted in the voice-changing duck voice, "Who are you?"

Qin Army!

It's the Qin army!

"Owner. My own people. I am the contact staff sent by the West Camp to General Li Siyuan's Office. Yang Lin!" Yang Lin couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and asked loudly: "Which army are you from?"

"Yang Lin, the contact staff officer sent to Li Siyuan?" The man looked at him in confusion, looked at the Shatu Knight behind him, and then leaned down.

A group of crossbowmen who only realized that they were all young crossbowmen, still aiming the crossbow machine at their group.

"Which part of you are? Are you the new scholars from the North? " Yang Lin had never seen such a young soldier in the Western Expedition Camp before, so he guessed that they might be reinforcements from the North. He asked again: "I have an emergency military situation, so don't miss my major issues. I will quickly take me to see this landlord."

There was no response from above, but then a red flag shaking. Then a bronze military horn sound that was completely different from the sound of the ox horn echoed in the valley. Now, he further confirmed that these young men were the newly-entered scholars of the North. Because the bronze military horn was just piloted in various military academies and had not been promoted to the entire army.

After a moment, a team of knights rode in front of him. Yang Lin saw that the leader was also a group of young soldiers, with many of them covered in acne on their faces, but the only one who was the flag-holder was tall and mighty, which was a bit surprising. The leading boy, on his shiny blue half-body armor, had a cavalry rank badge. However, they could not tell which cavalry they belonged to.

The team of knights was about fifty steps away from Yang Lin. The young sergeant just glanced at Yang Lin casually, then raised his head and shouted, "Zigefei, what happened?"

The duck-voiced military officer above leaned up again, but this time he took off his helmet, revealing a yellow hair, and said with a smile: "Yang Weili, the person below claims to be the contact staff sent by Zhang Shuai of the Western Expedition Camp to Li Siyuan, and the registration is Yang Lin."

When Yang Weili heard this, he looked at Yang Lin carefully and saw that Yang Lin and his party were in a mess. His face and the battle robe were covered with blood, and half of their war horses fell down. In addition, the knights behind him were obviously all fierce and strong Shatuo cavalry. He was a little surprised. Yang Lin was a obvious Han man, and his standard scholar appearance was just a matter of contacting the staff. However, he remained silent on his face, but he bowed like a routine and said, "As the post was ordered to guard this, since Staff Yang was his own, please follow the next one."

"With you?" Yang Lin was a little angry. After a long time, several kids pretended to be like this, "Who are you?"

"Return to Staff Yang, he is the leader of the left team of the reconnaissance battalion directly under the Iron Cavalry Left, Sergeant Yang Weili!" Yang Weili said lightly.

"Iron Cavalry Legion?" Not only Yang Lin, but even the Shatuo people behind him were stunned. When did the Qin army have such a number? Legion, a temporary organization in the Qin army, is generally above and below the camp. Generally, they go to war, set up camps, and command the army to participate in the battle. But sometimes there are many troops. For example, when the northern expedition of Liaodong, a new legion organization was established in each army, and the commanders of each legion led their troops to stand alone. However, this temporary organization with great authority will be cancelled immediately after the war, and it is rarely established. Now an Iron Cavalry Legion is created, not named after the chief general, but with a formal legion name, which means that this legion is extraordinary. At least, the Qin vassal legion has never had such a formal legion name before.

"Well, the Iron Cavalry Legion has twelve cavalry under its jurisdiction, with 60,000 cavalrymen, plus the directly affiliated legion headquarters of the legion, with 80,000 generals. The current commander of the Iron Cavalry Legion is personally appointed by the King of Qin."

Yang Lin was surprised at first. The 80,000-man army and a large cavalry corps with 60,000 cavalry. It was unreasonable for this army to be strong. When he heard that it was the King of Qin as the commander of the army, he felt a little normal. Then Yang Lin was surprised again. The King of Qin was the commander of the Iron Cavalry Legion, and now the vanguard reconnaissance battalion of this powerful cavalry legion is guarding this valley here. Doesn’t that mean that the Iron Cavalry Legion has arrived in Daibei, and the King of Qin has also arrived in Daibei?

The Duanyunling Military Village, twenty miles away from the river valley. Gongsun Lan had just reported to Li Jing that the horses were exploring the horses. The military intelligence bureau discovered the mountain village where Li Siyuan was trapped outside the Great Wall. However, the battle had ended. There was only a piece of white land destroyed by the war. The Hu people had left, leaving only a dozen Jingguans, at least five thousand Shatuo people's head bases.

"Li Siyuan is very likely to have lost all his troops here!"

Li Jing was a little upset when he heard this!

Although Jing Xiang and others had already tried hard to take the risk to save Li Siyuan, they even said that Li Siyuan was not a key figure. Instead, they might be a hidden danger. However, Li Jing still had many follow-up plans for Li Siyuan. Now, he is dead like this, which is somewhat annoying.

What Li Jing was upset about was not Li Siyuan, a brave general who could fight, nor was the powerful Shatuo cavalry under his command. What Li Jing was upset about was just a great piece like Li Siyuan. It was gone. After the defeat of Baishuilu, Li Siyuan and his command could reorganize at most two Shatuo cavalrymen. Ten thousand Shatuo cavalry, for Li Jing today, there were not many of him, but Li Siyuan's price was not that much. His value was actually outside the military, and if used well, it could be worth at least ten cavalry troops.

But since you are dead, that's fine.

Li Jing is not the kind of person who always looks back. He is the one who keeps looking forward. Li Siyuan may be very valuable. But that is because he is still alive. If he dies, it will be worthless. This is not Li Jing’s coldness. It is the fact that it is.

When fighting, the only thing the coach wants to win is how to win. As a king on the side, he has to consider far more than this.

Li Jing's heart can sometimes be as hard as iron and stone.

Li Siyuan was dead, and Li Jing did not consider avenging him again. It was meaningless and not worth it.

What he has to consider now is other things.

"The land where Li Siyuan was destroyed is almost three hundred miles away. If we march day and night, the cavalry will quickly come out and reach the battlefield in one day and a half." Li Jing broke the silence. "According to the information sent back by the Military Information Department, the annihilation of about 30,000 Hu people, including a Khitan cavalry of about 3,000 people, and the rest were tribal coalitions composed of cavalry of all tribes, including Tatars, Xi, Goguryeo, Uighurs and other tribes. Although they annihilated Li Siyuan's troops, they also carried out about more than 10,000 people. Although they annihilated Li Siyuan's troops, they also carried out about 10,000 people.

The tragic casualties, Shatuo's attack on death was very lethal. There were about 20,000 Hu cavalry and fish left, and they could not run away immediately, and they should still be outside the Great Wall. Now that this joint cavalry has destroyed Li Siyuan's troops, it is probably time to be proud and complacent, and he thinks he is behind the Hu army, so he will not be too vigilant. Therefore, if our army selects elite cavalry and travels day and night, it will only be a day to go there. It just happened to be unexpected and attack it and swallowed the Hu cavalry of 20,000 people in one fell swoop."

After Li Jing finished speaking, Jing Xiang and others were amazed at Li Jing's rapid transformation. Turning passive into initiative and Li Siyuan was destroyed. This was a bad thing, but the King of Qin found a new fighter opportunity in the blink of an eye. If it was really difficult to destroy 20,000 Hu cavalry, it would be considered a game to be restored.

"What do you think the Left General Staff Envoy?" Li Jing asked Jingxiang.

"I thought that the military strategy was full of profits over a hundred miles and the general was fighting for profit. If he attacked, he would be alone and deeply involved in the enemy's confidant. The Qin King's proposal was too risky." As the number one strategist, Jing Xiang's words and deeds largely influenced the strategic direction of the Qin army. Therefore, he is becoming more and more conservative now, because the Qin army is powerful, and conservative is sometimes steady, even if it is slower, it is worth it. But if it is too risky, the risks and benefits are actually not equal. "The key point is that we do not know where the 20,000 Hu people are. It is indeed only one day and one night to the battlefield, but if we arrive one day and one night, it is another matter whether we can find the enemy."

Li Jing nodded, then turned to Gai Yu, the right counselor: "What do you think Gai Gong thinks?"

Gai Yu glanced at Jing Xiang, then looked at Li Zhen who was not making a sound. He knew that Jing Xiang's proposal was more steady, but he also felt that although Li Jing's proposal was a bit risky, it was indeed very likely to eat the 20,000 Hu people. This active attack was risky, but it also had great results. Moreover, this was the opinion put forward by the King of Qin. In the past, the King of Qin liked the final summary and was unwilling to let his speech affect the decisions of other people. But this time he raised his own opinions early, and he obviously wanted to send troops. After hesitating for a while, Gai Yu said: "The subordinates thought that if they could annihilate this Hu army in one fell swoop, it would be of great significance to the Northern Battle. It would not only greatly improve the morale of our army, but also severely damage the Hu people's spirit and cut off his arm. As long as the Military Information Department could make the information of the 20,000 Hu people more accurate, they could attack."

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone outside the tent report: "The Li Siyuan Army stationed in the West Camp sent to contact the staff officer Yang Lin from outside to ask for an emergency military situation!"

"Ah?" Everyone in the hall was shocked and happy again. They looked out together. Even Li Jing couldn't help but slam the desk and shouted: "Hurry up and announce him to come in!"

"yes!"

Under the guidance of two guards, Yang Lin, who was stained with blood in the robe and carrying several wounds on his body, appeared in front of everyone.

As soon as Yang Lin saw Li Jing, he knelt down on one knee with a pounce, and said excitedly: "Please send reinforcements quickly to save General Li Siyuan! One hundred thousand times, please send troops quickly!"

When Li Jing heard this, his heart couldn't help but move. It seemed that Li Siyuan was not dead yet, so he broke out. He asked in a deep voice: "Staff General Yang, don't worry, what's going on?"

One hundred and fifty miles.

It was only one hundred and fifty miles away, no, just like the agreement between Yang Lin and Li Siyuan, maybe Li Siyuan was under the Great Wall 80 miles away at this time.

"God helps me, God helps me!" Although Li Jing was calm on his face, he was really happy. If he had to leave at the speed of a cavalry, he would be able to arrive in the middle of the night today. And what about the 20,000 Hu people? They were always attracted by Li Siyuan's bait, and had reached him 80 miles away from the main force of the Hu people.

This is an excellent opportunity. Li Jing restrained the excitement in his heart and began to secretly calculate all aspects. The commander cannot immediately be moved and act when he hears favorable news. He also has to calculate all aspects of the entire plan and the chain effect.

When Yang Lin and Li Siyuan separated, Li Siyuan was still 150 miles away. He should have to consider that perhaps Li Siyuan was caught up by the Hu people, so there are two possibilities. One is that Li Siyuan was caught up, outnumbered and destroyed. The other is that Li Siyuan stood firm on the spot and waited for assistance, so the distance was 150 miles. Now that the troops are sent, the fastest will be arrived tomorrow afternoon. Can Li Siyuan persist until that time?

Is there anything else missing?

Li Jing thought carefully.

No, no, no!

I shouldn't be so impatient, I should be more calm and should consider this matter from a different perspective.

After pondering for a long time, Li Jing suddenly had a flash of his mind and a brand new plan came into being.

Saving Li Siyuan and destroying 20,000 Hu troops was too simple and too careful. He should focus on bigger things and plan further.

After thinking for a long time, Li Jing's mouth finally rose slightly, and an unfathomable smile appeared.
