Chapter 116: The Movement of the Yuan Army, Bring this Order to Gao Changsheng

"Boom, boom, boom."

Loud noises that could make one's eardrums burst kept coming out, like thunder falling from the sky, directly hitting one's ear frame.

Of course, there was no change in the astronomical phenomena in the Jindong Plain at this time. The sky was still clear and the air was fresh. However, as time passed, the sunlight gradually set in the west and slowly became dim.

In this situation, there will naturally be no thunder in the sky.

And the sound in the field came from the empty plain.

At this time, two large-scale cavalry forces were engaged in a fierce battle.

Li Yuanba took the lead, like a tiger among a flock of sheep, his two hammers rolled down, and the surroundings were filled with blood mist.

Such a scene is truly horrifying.

The extremely heavy Leiguwengjinchui, coupled with Li Yuanba's terrifying strength, combined together to produce powerful destructive power, which is truly terrifying.

Especially at the moment when Li Yuanba took action, streams of blood and energy instantly surged out of the bodies of the Zuo Wuwei cavalrymen behind him, connected into shape in the air, and then moved forward to cover Li Yuanba's entire body.

This reaction is almost instinctive for Zuo Wuwei, who has been training for many years.

No matter who is leading in front, they will make corresponding cooperation. This is the value of the elite.

Of course, Li Yuanba's situation was there after all. He couldn't figure out what formation and momentum were.

Therefore, when this formation falls into Li Yuanba's hands, it will naturally appear rigid and there will not be so many changes.

But at this time, this situation is not a disadvantage, but an advantage to some extent.

The clash of cavalry on the plains is a test of impact and destructive power.

In this regard, Li Yuanba is undoubtedly the best choice.

Only Li Yuanba could carry out this kind of almost indiscriminate bombardment.

Of course, if Li Yuanba was allowed to develop freely, the final result would inevitably be like Li Shimin of Liaodong back then, out of touch with the past.

After all, no matter how fiercely or quickly the army behind him attacked, they could never compare to Li Yuanba.

No matter how strong the cavalry is, their speed will definitely drop when they encounter and collide with the enemy army.

Asking Li Yuanba to slow down or stop and wait would be a daydream.

So this time, Gao Changsheng specially arranged Qin Shubao and Luo Cheng.

The two men guarded Li Yuanba on the left and right.

Seen from above, it looked like three arrows were inserted at the same time.

However, the arrow in front of Li Yuanba was pointing straight forward, while the two arrows on the left and right were slightly slanted, approaching Li Yuanba.

The blood in Luo Cheng's body surged, connecting with the army behind him. As the formation flashed, the speed of the entire army continued to increase. At the same time, like sharpening a sword, the entire arrow was adding a sharp aura.

Qin Shubao on the other side looked almost identical to Luo Cheng, except that his aura was directed forward, connecting with the charging Li Yuanba.

In this way, with the protection of Luo Cheng and Qin Shubao, Li Yuanba's direction of advance will not deviate significantly. In addition, with their combined efforts, the army's assault speed will become faster, and at the same time they will be able to slightly control Li Yuanba. This slight involvement will not make Li Yuanba feel uncomfortable as if he was restrained.

"kill!"

Seeing this scene from a distance, Hong Jingyan also roared wildly and rushed towards Li Yuanba.

If it were an ordinary army, encountering such a bloody attack from Li Yuanba, the formation would probably have begun to fall apart long ago.

This was the case when the Goryeo army encountered Li Yuanba on the Yalu River.

Now, with the support of two great generals and the Zuo Wuwei, Li Yuanba is undoubtedly even more terrifying.

But at this time, although the impact force of the Rouran cavalry on the opposite side was limited after the collision, the overall formation was not greatly affected.

But this is not surprising. Although the Rouran cavalry is not the most powerful in Beimang, it is definitely an elite legion.

Moreover, the situation at this time was different from that of Goryeo in the past. The Goryeo army was in a hurry to move south, and the most important commander-in-chief of the army, Fu Cailin, did not know how to deploy troops, but this was obviously not the case with Hong Jingyan now.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Accompanied by violent roar.

The two cavalry forces have already completed their merger and are at the stage where you are in me and I am in you.

On the city wall, Gao Changsheng stood upright, his eyes looking ahead dimly.

Beside him, Lieutenant General Li, who did not take part in the battle this time, was also looking at the battlefield situation with a nervous look on his face.

It’s not that Lieutenant General Li doubted the strength of Zuo Wuwei, but this time the leaders were three young men after all, and Gao Changsheng did not fight in person.

Qin Shubao was an unknown person. Although Luo Cheng was the son of Luo Yi, the King of Beiping, Lieutenant General Li was not familiar with him and did not know much about his situation. As for Li Yuanba, although he had amazing destructive power, he was still a teenager after all. If he were put in the outside world, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a child.

As for Hong Jingyan on the opposite side, he was well-known in Beimang and even ranked high in martial arts evaluation.

Anyone would be nervous when three teenagers faced off against such a master.

Although on a battlefield with a large army, it is difficult for an individual's strength to affect the overall situation.

However, in such a head-on battle, the main generals of the two armies met during the charge. If Li Yuanba and his men made any mistakes under Hong Jingyan's attack, it would greatly affect their morale.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Li involuntarily turned his head to look at Gao Changsheng beside him.

But no matter how he looked, he did not see any satisfaction or worry on the other person's face.

But if he looked closely from the front, he might find it.

His commander-in-chief's eyes were not looking at the battlefield at this moment, but at the distant horizon.

"Deputy General Li, go down and prepare. When the Rouran cavalry formation is in chaos, you can detour from the flank and complete the encirclement. Don't let the enemy escape." After a moment, Gao Changsheng spoke slowly.

"Yes, I promise not to let a single soldier go." Deputy General Li showed surprise.

But Gao Changsheng did not say anything else, but suddenly turned around and left the city wall.

Hong Jingyan, who was fighting hard on the battlefield and rushing towards Li Yuanba with all his strength, had no idea.

Gao Changsheng, the man he had been longing to challenge and was prepared to use his corpse to build his own fame, had already left the command position and didn't even look at him before leaving.

Of course, even though he knew this, Hong Jingyan had no mind to think or get angry at this moment.

Because the Shirakawa City Gate in the distance opened again at this time.

A team of cavalry rushed out again. As soon as they appeared, their fierce momentum soared into the sky. The sound of horse hooves like thunder seemed not to be stepping on the ground, but directly hitting Hong Jingyan's heart.

After getting down from the city wall, Gao Changsheng did not stop at all and went straight back to his mansion in the city.

He did not pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

The Rouran cavalry was certainly not weak, but they certainly had no advantage against the well-organized Zuo Wuwei.

Although both sides deployed a large number of troops, it was ultimately a head-on cavalry clash.

Of course Gao Changsheng could personally take action and defeat the enemy with lightning speed.

But he can't always take part in the battles himself, especially as the army grows larger and larger. In the future, when encountering large-scale military operations, he will definitely have to stay in the center, and it will be impossible for all the troops to gather together.

So sooner or later, he will definitely delegate some tasks, after all, he is a commander, not a general.

Before, Li, Wang, Zhang and several other deputy generals could not undertake too complicated tasks because their qualifications had certain limits.

Now with Luo Cheng and Qin Shubao here, some of the manpower problems have undoubtedly been solved.

Although none of them have reached their peak yet, their talents have been clearly revealed.

Gao Changsheng also took this opportunity to hone the two of them, and at the same time to improve the coordination of Zuo Wuwei.

The thought flashed through his mind, and when he opened his eyes again, Gao Changsheng had already entered his residence.

He walked to the front of the wall and looked up at the map hanging above.

Time passed by little by little, and Gao Changsheng seemed to be under a spell, always standing in a fighting posture.

I don’t know how long it took, but Gao Changsheng’s eyes suddenly moved, and then the corners of his mouth quietly raised a curve.

Under the flickering lights, a figure as tall as a pine tree was looking at the map on the wall and smiling.

No one knows what he saw in this picture. Was it a conspiracy? Or was it an opportunity?

Just when the war was in full swing outside Jindong Shirakawa Castle.

In the distant city of Daxing, the sound of horse hooves passed quickly along the wide streets.

About a quarter of an hour later, the gate of Kaoshan Palace in the center of the city burst open.

"Say it!"

In the hall of the mansion, Yang Lin sat on a chair with his horse and sword, his eyes piercing straight ahead, like a tiger descending from the mountain. In front of him, a guard was kneeling on one knee, looking at him.

Although he hadn't spoken yet, Yang Lin clearly seemed to be aware of something. His eyes were gleaming with light, and his aura was like explosives approaching Mars, which could explode at any time.

"Your Majesty, Temujin has moved."

Yang Lin's eyes lit up instantly, but his voice became deeper and deeper: "Tell me the details. Where is Temujin's army now? How far is it from Yumen Pass?"

"Your Majesty? The Yuan army did not go to Yumen Pass."

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Yang Lin's eyes flashed with a strange look, and then he asked without hesitation: "Where did they go?"

"Temujin led his eldest son Jochi as the left vanguard and Kublai as the right vanguard, and they led the troops on both wings to attack Xiangyang directly."

"Xiangyang?"

Hearing this, Yang Lin couldn't help but frowned.

Through Yang Xuyan's explanation, the Sui Dynasty had long known that the Mongols would have unusual movements, and also knew that they would take action against the Sui Dynasty.

So during this period of time, the outer guards kept a close eye on the movements of the Mongols and Temujin.

But Yang Lin never expected that the Mongol army did move, but their direction was not towards Yumen Pass of the Sui Dynasty, but towards Xiangyang of the Song Dynasty.

"Only Jochi and Kublai? What about the other four heroes, Chilaowen, Muqali and Borshu?"

Temujin had four heroes, four mastiffs and four brave men under his command, each of whom was a good fighter.

However, among the four sons, Tolui and Ogedei had inherited the throne of the Yuan Dynasty one after another and had died due to the influence of the country's destiny.

Among the four mastiffs, Zhebie has also passed away due to a turmoil in earlier years.

Among the remaining people, if we really compare their command and combat capabilities, Chi Lao Wen and the other four heroes are undoubtedly superior to others.

Of course, although Yang Lin asked the four heroes, what he really wanted to ask and what he was most concerned about was undoubtedly Temujin's movements.

"The four heroes have not shown any signs of their whereabouts, but the guards in the rear have seen Temujin's blue wolf banner from afar. I think the four heroes should be guarding Temujin's central army."

Hearing this, Yang Lin nodded slightly, but his frown remained unchanged.

"So, Temujin really went to the Song Dynasty."

"I heard that the person guarding Xiangyang in the Song Dynasty was Guo Jing, Genghis Khan's former consort."

"It is said that Guo Jing was once a native of Song Dynasty. He suffered misfortune and drifted to Mongolia when he was young. He was highly regarded by Temujin at that time, but he eventually fled from the Mongols and returned to Song Dynasty. He has been guarding the border of Xiangyang since then to prevent foreign invasions."

Yang Lin paused, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes again:
"Rumor has it that Guo Jing's departure was not through normal means, but was a defection. Not only did it directly lead to the death of Nazhebie, but there are also reports that he also took out a wing of his personal soldiers, resulting in a missing corner of Temujin's thirteen wings."

"Could this be the reason why Temujin is mobilizing such a large army to go to the Song Dynasty?" Yang Lin frowned and kept guessing.

But obviously he couldn't be sure whether his guess was correct.

If the other party's real goal is really the Song Dynasty, then it is undoubtedly a good thing for the Sui Dynasty.

But to be honest, during the Song Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, Xiangyang and Yumen Pass were two different places.

But in fact, the distance between the two locations is not too far.

Therefore, no one can guarantee whether Temujin really gave up the idea of ​​the Sui Dynasty.

Even if he captured Xiangyang, who could guarantee that the enemy would continue to advance and not turn around and attack Yumen Pass again?

The Song Dynasty was located just to the west of the Sui Dynasty, and the two sides were almost parallel.

However, the Song Dynasty had lost territory repeatedly over the years, especially after the Jingkang Incident, when the land area shrunk by more than half.

Therefore, as both are borders, Yumen Pass is more prominent than Xiangyang.

If Temujin captured Xiangyang, he could also threaten the security of Yumen Pass from the side.

"According to Hou Wei's investigation, Xiangyang and the Song Dynasty have simultaneously sent envoys to Yumen Pass and Daxing, hoping to ask for help from the Sui Dynasty."

"It's as expected. Where are the reinforcements from the Song Dynasty? Who is the commander?" Yang Lin asked casually.

"Uh... the Song Dynasty has not sent any reinforcements. It is said that the court is still arguing about whether to fight or make peace."

Yang Lin's eyes widened. Even though he had experienced countless hardships, he couldn't help feeling absurd at this moment.

"Really...it's ridiculous!"

Yang Lin's body trembled slightly. If Temujin's movements were not unclear and could pose a threat to the Sui Dynasty at any time, with his temper, he would never care about the life and death of the Song Dynasty.

"That's it, that's all."

Yang Lin took a long breath and then sighed.

"We can't count on the Song Dynasty anymore. Zhao Kuangyin was a great man back then. He conquered the country with his imperial fist and dragon staff. I never thought that times have changed and the Song Dynasty has fallen into such a state."

"Forget about them. If Temujin makes any move again after so many years, it will definitely not be a small fight. The Sui Dynasty must be on guard."

"Although we have Brother Yu at Yumen Pass, compared to Temujin, our forces are not many and our defense is not solid."

"Once I have dealt with the affairs of the court, I will mobilize the troops to march out."

After he finished talking to himself, Yang Lin realized that Hou Wei was still kneeling in front of him.

"Alright, I already know what happened, please leave now."

"Your Majesty, Hou Weizhong still has intelligence about Lingnan and Beimang, and needs to report it to Your Majesty."

However, Yang Lin just listened briefly and waved his hand.

"No need for that. I've already said that Gao Changsheng will be in charge of the affairs in the south."

"Then let him do whatever he wants. Even if he pokes holes in the sky, I won't care. Besides, I'm about to go out to fight, so I can't care too much."

"Unless one day, the Northern Mang army invades the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty, there is no need to report anything about Gao Changsheng."

"Yes!" The guards below nodded respectfully.

"By the way, I will set out on a chosen day. You, the guards, must mobilize your forces as soon as possible and send them to the northwest to monitor the movements of the Mongols and Temujin."

"As you command, I will go down and make arrangements right away."

Hou Wei bowed respectfully, and then prepared to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, Yang Lin seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke:
"Wait, help me deliver this item to Gao Changsheng through Hou Wei's line."

As he spoke, he slowly took out something from his arms.

The moment the item appeared, the guard's body trembled instantly and he fell to his knees on the ground immediately.

The thing in Yang Lin's hand was not big, occupying only half of his palm.

It was a token with a square character "山" engraved on it.

This is the royal decree of King Kaoshan, but judging from the situation, it is only half of it. The other half is engraved with the word "靠". When the two pieces are put together, it becomes the word "靠山".

It seems that everyone in the entire Sui Dynasty knows what this represents.

This token represents Yang Lin, the pillar supporting the Sui Dynasty.

Moreover, the token is combined into a tiger talisman, which can be used to mobilize the army across the country at will.

Its importance and the symbolic meaning behind it can be imagined.

Now Yang Lin suddenly took out this token and wanted to give it to Gao Changsheng. Even if it was only half of it, it was a shocking event.

Seeing this scene, he, a small guard, naturally didn't dare to say much, and didn't even dare to think about it too deeply.

"Get up, I believe you also know this thing, so you also know the consequences..."

"I understand. We will definitely arrange for elite forces to escort you. There will be no mistakes."

"Okay, let's go down."

Yang Lin waved his hand.

Hou Wei took the token respectfully, lowered his head and left the hall.

And Yang Lin still sat there calmly, with an inexplicable look in his eyes. Upon closer inspection, one could see a hint of emotion and relief in his eyes.

Just as the Sui Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were responding to Temujin's actions.

Outside of Lingnan, in the Liyang area, an army also quietly set out from the city and headed secretly towards the north.

In another direction, in the boundless desert, a large group of fierce cavalry were also galloping at high speed in a certain direction.

The situation in the entire Jindong, and even Beimang Liyang, is rapidly changing in a certain direction.
