Chapter 658: Snowstorm and Cold Blade (10)

The frozen Liaohe River is no longer a natural moat for the Donghu army. Groups of cavalry are crossing the river on the ice. The hard horseshoes are beating on the ice, but not even a white spot can be left. Yan begged to beat the horse to stop. In front of the newly completed east-west bridge, I gazed at the five characters "The Best Bridge in the World" with flying dragons and phoenixes on the bridge deck. I couldn't help but praise: "What a courageous person. This bridge may not be the best in the world, but Gaoyuan Dare It deserves to be number one in the world (Baidu search updates are the fastest and most stable).”

"General, will this bridge stay?"

"Of course we have to stay!" Yan Qi looked back at Murong Kun and said with a smile, "Gao Yuan built such a bridge for us, which saved us so much effort. After we defeat him, we can pass this bridge in the future. It would be much more convenient to connect the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. With our current technological capabilities, it is impossible to build such a magnificent bridge. "

"So, we have to thank Gao Yuanluo!"

"Of course I have to thank you, but only after I capture him alive." Yan Qi laughed loudly and glanced down at his right hand. This hand could no longer hold a knife. It was a gift from Gao Yuan. When I first met this person, he was still a nobody. Unexpectedly, a few years later, he had become a hero and famous. The king was the first name engraved on the pillars in Helin's hall. , but even he didn't know if Gao Yuan would be proud of it after learning about it.

"Cross the river!" Yan Qi clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse lightly raised its hooves and stepped onto the deck of the No. 1 bridge in the world. On both sides of the bridge, endless cavalry and infantry were passing by. The scene was truly breathtaking.

"General, General, General Moyandu, please see me." There was a shout from behind. Yan Qi turned around and saw Moyandu coming on horseback, but looking at his angry look, he seemed a little unhappy. So happy.

"General Moyanduo, haven't I assigned you three thousand infantry to attack Dubo Village? Why do you still look so unhappy?" Yan Qi was in a good mood today, and there was not much blame in his tone. mean. "Three thousand infantry is already the limit given to you. Dubo Village is only defended by more than a thousand soldiers from the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and you still have nearly ten thousand cavalry in hand. If you add three thousand infantry, if you still can't win, It’s not your majesty that’s been ruined, but the morale of our Donghu army and the king’s face.”

"General!" Moyan said angrily: "That's exactly why I came here. I asked the general to use the marching law and chop off the head of the logistics officer."

"What happened?" Yan Qi was surprised. Logistics and equipment are no small matter. Hetao used to be a barbaric land. The Donghu tribe that was stationed here a year ago was almost wiped out by the Eastern Expedition Army. Tens of thousands of troops were killed. All the necessary food, grass and baggage must be transported from the rear. This is not a small amount. Once something goes wrong, it will be a major event that endangers the entire army.

"Yesterday, my department received a batch of food and grass. However, two thousand-man teams, after eating this batch of food and grass, suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. They were all shaken and couldn't climb on their horses.

Can the city be captured? Now our troops don't dare to touch this batch of food at all. The whole army is about to starve. "Mo Yandu said angrily.

Yan Qi's face changed slightly, "Is there a spy causing trouble?"

Mo Yandu shook his head and said: "This is unlikely. If there were spies, all the troops under my command would probably take action. How could something happen to only two thousand-man troops? That batch of grain and grass was used by the entire army yesterday, but something happened There were only two thousand-man teams. We checked the two batches of food and grass. The most likely reason is that the food and grass were moldy and could not be eaten at all. The troops fought in the front, regardless of life and death, and did not fall to the enemy's swords and guns. , but fell on their own logistical baggage, isn't this a joke? Please ask the general to deal with these law-breaking people. It is impossible to say that they must have colluded with lawless people and exchanged good food for moldy food. This kind of thing has never happened before.”

Yan Qi shook his head, "The commander of the logistics equipment is Huo Tianliang. He was appointed by the king himself. I have no right to deal with him."

"I said at the beginning that we could not let a Yan person take charge of our life and death." Moyan said angrily: "General, please take this opportunity to destroy this guy."

"Huo Tianliang has a big feud with Gao Yuan, and he has a grudge against the Yan Dynasty to exterminate his family. This man has always been dedicated to his work in Donghu, and he is also talented. He can provide the food and grass needed by tens of thousands of troops in extreme situations. Raising the funds in a short period of time shows your intentions. This matter, or there may be other reasons. General Mo Yanduo, two thousand-man troops are not enough to stop you from moving forward. I believe that such a thing will not happen again. I I will send a message to Huo Tianliang and ask him to investigate the matter thoroughly. If there is someone who is greedy for profit, he must not bring him to sacrifice the flag. Since it is only the two thousand-man teams that are in trouble, the food they have been allocated will no longer be used and should be allocated elsewhere. , You should save a little during these days, it will take a long time to transport food from Ningyuan and Jingyuan. "

"Yes!" Mo Yanduo nodded, "Since the general said so, I naturally have nothing to say. I will go back and deal with the matter."

"By the way, you have to capture Dubo Village as soon as possible. If you arrive too late, maybe you won't have any credit here." Yan Qi smiled and said, "A small village with a thousand people should not be able to stop you." "Long time?"

"Of course." Mo Yan said with a smile: "That He Tianju still has some skills. Now that our army has suppressed the long-range attacks of Dubo Village, we can attack the city directly. General, just watch. , I will appear in front of you in three days to tell you the good news."

"Okay, I'm waiting for you!" Yan Qi held his hands and laughed, "Pioneer City, Tongwan City and the two cities have gathered more than 20,000 main troops of the Eastern Expedition Army. If we take these two cities, Dayan City will no longer have to worry about it. You can get off, the river is fixed."

"General, before I came, that He Tianju asked me to remind the general to be careful of the cavalry in the distance."

"Gaoyuan's cavalry!" Yan Qi nodded, "How could I underestimate a cavalry unit that can destroy Yuwen Ke's troops in frontal combat? The five thousand palace guards I brought this time were prepared for them. , Don’t worry, I’ve already taken precautions.”

"Then I'll take my leave, general!" Mo Yanduo bowed and saluted, turned around and rode away.

For such a small episode, neither Moyan Du nor Yan Qi paid enough attention. Mo Yan Du came to complain just so that if the attack on Dubo Village was blocked, there would be an excuse. Although there is He Tianju in Bozhai, He Tianju also made it very clear that Dubozhai can only pay for it with human lives. If there are too many casualties, with today's matter as the foundation, I believe Yanqi will not pursue him. Guilt.

But Yan Qi, at this time, was immersed in the pleasure of stepping on the first bridge and meeting Gao Yuan on the battlefield again. Gao Yuan became famous in the battle against Donghu. Folk rumors say that Gao Yuan's battle against Donghu has always been a success. Zhan Baisheng, Yan Qi naturally sneered at their reputation. He wanted to slap these people in the face and watch how he defeated Gao Yuan.

"It's really spectacular!" Standing at the top of the Pioneer City, Gao Yuan looked at the Donghu tents that stretched for more than ten miles and couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised, "This is the first time I have seen a company of tens of thousands of cavalry!"

He looked back at the generals around him, completely ignoring the nervous looks on their faces.

"Their general Yan Qi is an old acquaintance of mine. When I was a soldier, I met this man in Liaoxi City. We had a disagreement and got into a fight. As a result, I disabled one of his hands and his right hand. From then on, , He can no longer hold a sword. I wonder if this person has perfected his left-hand sword skills over the years?" Gao Yuan said with a smile, "If he has perfected it, I wouldn't mind competing with him again. The other hand is also useless."

Naturally, those who put on a show need to be applauded. Xu Yuan on the side immediately understood and asked: "Captain, please be merciful and leave him a hand. He can still take care of himself. He can go to the latrine and wipe his butt or something." , you can still handle it by yourself, what will he do if you lose his other hand? He is a general after all, so he has to save some face, so just kill him."

After Xu Yuan said these few words, the city suddenly erupted into roaring laughter. The laughter was mixed with the sound of coughing. Gao Yuan turned around and saw the blushing Ning Xin next to him. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but he forgot about it. There is a woman like Ning Xin beside her, but after that night of drinking to scare away the generals, I am afraid that no one in the city will regard her as a woman. With such a drinking capacity, even a hero can't stand it.

Some people are born to drink. Gao Yuan naturally understands that this is because the liver function in some people is abnormally strong, and it seems that some kind of enzyme breaks down alcohol. However, other people don't understand this, like himself. Xiang Shang is born to be a weak person. Even if he has deliberately practiced, he is still a guy who can overturn the bowl after three bowls. This bowl cannot be a big bowl.

"That's how it is in the army. You're used to being rude. If you're not used to it, just go and rest in the back. Sometimes using foul language can actually bring you closer to ordinary soldiers." Gao Yuan lowered his voice and said to Ning Xin: "You You must not be used to this, you are going to vomit, right?”

Ning Xin blinked and looked at Gao Yuan and said with a smile: "It's okay. I vomited and vomited. I'm used to vomiting. I am now the deputy director of the Zhengdong Mansion Supervisory Authority. The eldest lady, who is unknown to anyone in the boudoir, is in the army and has to get used to dealing with soldiers. "

After hearing Ning Xin's words, Gao Yuan couldn't help but applaud in his heart. What a talent! Such words were once a popular saying in his previous life, but now, he actually heard it from the mouth of a young lady who was once a rich and noble family. heard it.

Naturally, Xu Yuan would not notice these details. He saw a group of people filing out of the opponent's military camp, and approached Gao Yuan, "Captain, it must be that Yan Qi who came to inspect the city. If we get closer, a group of people will come." If the crossbow kills him, it will save trouble."

"You have a wonderful idea!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Yan Qi is a veteran in the army, how could he not even pay attention to these things. But when he gets closer, you ask some men with loud voices to shout, just say I'm Gao Yuan Greetings to General Yan Qi, have you mastered your left-hand sword? Do you dare to challenge Gao again?"

"What if he really agrees? These Donghu people love face most." Xu Yuan asked with wide eyes.

"Do you think I would care about losing one of his hands again?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile.

"That's right, he definitely won't agree. He couldn't beat you, the Governor, back then. Now that he comes here, he can only give you for free." P
