Chastity Layman

Changsun Chong and his subordinates finished cleaning the battlefield, and learned from some wounded Yingwei guards of Yifu that Gaoning King Abao was gathering troops on Mantou Mountain to stop the Tang army.

"Mantou Mountain."

Changsun Chong asked his family to fetch the map, and after examining it carefully, he exclaimed, "My great ancestor Shangdang Ding Wang served as the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty Zhengxi, the fake Sikong and the seven towns of Hexi. The army attacked Tuyuhun, recovered the invaded frontiers in Longyou, Hexi, and finally pursued the Tuyuhun army to Mantou Mountain for a decisive battle, defeated Tuyuhun, beheaded tens of thousands of people, and captured hundreds of thousands of cattle and horses and returned them.

"Unexpectedly, more than a hundred years later, I would be able to follow in the footsteps of my ancestors and come to Mantou Mountain."

The great ancestor mentioned by Changsun Chong is the posthumous title Changsun Guan, the Shangdang king of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He is the grandson of Sikong, Shizhong, and Shangdang Wang Changsun Daosheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty. , became a general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, defeated Tuyuhun several times, forcing Tuyuhun Khan to become a vassal and pay tribute to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, except for the descendants of Liezu, all the clans and descendants of meritorious officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the princes were all reduced to dukes, and the dukes were reduced to marquises.

Only one person, Changsun Guan, said that although he inherited the king's title, his grandfather, Changsun Daosheng, had made great achievements in assisting the previous dynasty. The eldest grandson Guan is also diligent in the affairs of the king and has made many contributions, so he specially intends to retain the king of Shangdang.

As long as Changsun Chong can remember, his family has asked him to learn the history of the eldest grandson's family, recognize the family tree, and read the family biography. He remembers the famous meritorious ancestors of the eldest grandson's family very well.

More than a hundred years ago, Gao Zu's eldest grandson Guan took the post of the General of the Conquest of the West, and supervised the soldiers and horses of the Seven Towns, conquered Tuyuhun and returned with great victory. But now, he has become the vanguard of the Ninth Army of Longyou, and he has once again come to the place where his ancestors made meritorious deeds.

"Abao, King Gaoning of Yifubu!"

Changsun Chong recalled that when Gaozu Shangdang King Ding defeated Tuyuhun at Mantou King, it was King Gao Ning, the patriarch of the Yifu tribe, who fought bloody battles with him on Mantou Mountain for seven days, and finally King Tuyuhun came, but was still defeated by Changsun Guan .

Is this the reincarnation of fate?

The entanglement between the eldest grandson family and Yifubu?

Several brigade commanders came over with a string of ears, "Is there really someone who is not afraid of death? Fu Yun has fled. What kind of thing is this Gao Ning Wang Abao, who dares to stop the car with his arms? Is this news reliable?"

Changsun Chong said solemnly, "You don't know that more than a hundred years ago, during the Northern Wei Dynasty, my great-grandfather was the general who conquered the west, and the governor of the seven towns in Hexi to attack Tuyuhun. He once pursued Mantou Mountain. The leader of the Yifu tribe, King Gao Ning, led his army to resist my Gaozu for seven days and nights, and in that battle, my Gaozu led his army to kill 30,000 troops of the Yifu tribe, and the blood flowed like rivers."

"Ah, there is another matter. It seems that the Gaoning Wang family is quite kind. Fu Yun has already run away, and they still want to fight hard."

"Yes or no, just follow me to find out, dare you?" Chang Sun said boldly.

"Why don't you dare, let's go!"

A group of sturdy soldiers, all got on their horses, and each of them had a string of Yifu knight's ears more or less hanging from their waists.

······

a day later.

Qin Lang led the main force of the northern army with 20,000 horses to the foot of Mantou Mountain, and Xi Junmai led his eldest grandson Chong to meet him.

Although Qin Lang was entrusted by his eldest grandson Wuji to take care of his eldest grandson Chong, on the other hand, both Qin Lang and his eldest grandson Chong were appointed sons-in-law by the emperor. five. And the eldest grandson Chong decided to be the emperor's concubine, Princess Runan, who ranked third.

Therefore, the two are still brother-in-law, and Qin Lang even had to call Changsun Chong a brother-in-law.

Of course, marriages in aristocratic families have always been complicated. Here, Qin Lang had to call Changsun Chong brother-in-law, but on the other hand, Changsun Wuji betrothed his daughter to Qin Lang's son. From this point of view, Qin Lang was from Changsun Chong's uncle's generation again.

Fortunately, nobles often have their own opinions on things like seniority. There are many sisters who marry uncles and nephews, and brothers who marry aunts and nephews.

This kind of complicated relationship, they also call it "increasing intimacy".

But no matter how you talk about it in normal times, this is a military camp anyway, so you can talk about your status in the military.

Chang Sun Chong respectfully asked his brother-in-law or uncle Qin Lang to participate in the military salute.

"It's darker and stronger. I heard that your kid has made another contribution, using a battalion of troops to wipe out 500 Tuyuhun cavalry?"

"It's from the Yingwei Ranger Battalion of the Tuyuhun Gaoning King Yifu Abao. The equipment and riding and shooting skills are not bad, but a little tender. After a few simple lures, he was fooled and surrounded by us. Live annihilated, and escaped a few."

Qin Lang nodded appreciatively, "Good job, I've ordered someone to record credit for you. What else did you find?"

"The king of Gaoning, Yifu Abao, ignored Fuyun's order to retreat, but intended to stop our army here. He evacuated the tribe's old, weak, women, children, cattle, horses and livestock in advance, and assembled the headquarters and more than 30,000 young and strong soldiers passing by. Intent to fight to the death with our army."

"Oh, this Ah Bao looks like his name, he is very fierce, but why didn't he see them?"

"When we came, there were still some supplies left that couldn't be taken away. They hurriedly withdrew to the mountains."

Qin Lang was surprised.

"Since this Ah Bao is going to fight, why did I come and run into the mountain again? Is it the same plan as Fu Yun?"

"Mount Mantou is full of cavaliers. We have not been able to go deep, and we have not been able to find out the deployment of the Yifu Department. We are humble and incompetent."

Qin Lang waved his hand.

"You have done well enough, well, you go down and rest for a while. Now that you know Yifu is in the mountains, that's enough."

Qin Lang sent his own soldiers and summoned the generals to discuss matters.

Although Fu Yun has already escaped from here, since there is still King Gao Ning who wants to stroke the tiger's whiskers to find a sense of existence, and there are still so many of them, there are more than one hundred thousand people in total, Qin Lang How can I miss it.

This time Qin Lang chased Fu Yun, his main strategy was to capture his king and destroy his main force. Now that he found such a large group of Tuyuhun people, he naturally had to take care of him along the way.

The so-called Ah Bao was going to fight Tang Jun to the death, Qin Lang really didn't feel much relieved.

What a leopard, it's just a cat and a dog.

At the foot of Mantou Mountain, where Abao originally set up his camp, the Qin army set up a temporary camp.

Although Qin Lang despised cats and dogs, those generals didn't dare to underestimate the enemy. They had to be careful outside to sail for thousands of years. If they were not careful, they would be in danger of capsizing.

With 20,000 horses, two large battalions of about one or so were formed, and the two battalions were separated by about two miles. This was obviously a little worried about Murong Shun's 10,000 Tuyuhun and Dangxiang Hui soldiers.

Even if there is any emergency, it can prevent chaos.

"Wei Gong, don't care what he is, a leopard, a cat, or a dog. Since he wants to fight, then he will fight."

"That's right, I'm just thinking that marching is boring. It's good to jump out of such a leopard, and kill him by the way. Good guy, there are hundreds of thousands of horses and hundreds of thousands of livestock. This has gathered targets for us and saved us everywhere. Looking around."

In terms of strategy, all the generals regarded Yifu as nothing, and they all bluntly said that they would beat the rabbits, and took some time to clean them up by the way. From a tactical point of view, it is always dangerous to have such a huge army of more than 100,000 people behind them.

Some people are still shouting there, if this kills them, it will make a lot of money.

After deciding to fight, then discussing how to play, everyone is much more serious.

No one dares to care about such details.

The military discussion did not end until midnight.

"Be careful after dark, and beware of the Yifu tribe coming to attack the camp."

Qin Lang confessed.

Although everyone thinks that they may not dare to come, otherwise why would they flee into the mountains and fight directly in this formation. But it's always right to be careful, Duan Zhixuan asked to be on guard at night, and Qin Lang agreed.

As night fell, the camp at the foot of the mountain was very quiet.

These experienced Longyou soldiers knew very well that there was a strong enemy on their side. Except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else was sleeping as fast as possible to recover more energy.

But even if it's sleeping, everyone stays close to each other, ready to sleep. This is a valuable experience. Once the enemy attacks at night, in the dark and panic, it may be too late to put on armor, and may even find no weapons. If there is no armor or soldiers in the melee, it is a dead end.

One tent for ten people per fire, and the horses were tied outside the tent.

Everyone hugged the blankets to sleep. Although there were soldiers on duty at night, they still spontaneously sent one person to sit on duty at night in turn. Once there was any movement, he would immediately wake everyone up and prepare for battle.

Experience tells everyone that when you are really attacked, if you prepare earlier, you will have a higher chance of survival, so it is worthwhile to do so.

The eldest Sun Chong was called into Qin Lang's tent at night, and the two brothers-in-law slept together head to head.

Qin Lang didn't have any other special hobbies, but he just took the opportunity to get close to Changsun Chong. After all, Changsun Chong was the future head of the Changsun family, and this kid's performance on the battlefield this time proved that this kid has good abilities and character. The future is bound to have a bright future, and being close to each other is naturally beneficial.

The eldest grandson Chong is a little uncomfortable, he doesn't know what kind of relationship he should get along with, is it brother-in-law, uncle or nephew, or boss and subordinate?

Qin Lang rested his arms on his pillow, and took the initiative to chat with Chang Sun Chong about some anecdotes and joys in the army, and talked about some vulgar things between soldiers, but Chang Sun Chong quickly got used to it.

"What ideal do you have?" Qin Lang asked with a smile.

In the darkness, Chang Sun Chong hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have read a lot since I was a child, and my grandfather hopes that one day I will be able to enter the political affairs hall as a minister, saying that the world will be unified, and sooner or later I will stop martial arts and cultivate literature. I used to think this way too, but this time I came to Longyou, I suddenly hoped that one day in the future, like my great ancestors, I could be a great general, supervising the military, conquering non-officials, and serving the country's borders."

In the dark, he said again, "I am very envious of you, Saburo, you are a role model for my generation."

Suddenly, a loud horn sounded from outside the tent.

"Night attack!"

"Xianbei attack at night!"

Zhang Chao rushed in with Qin Lang's armor in his arms, "Sanlang, Yifu Abao is coming."

Qin Lang calmly asked, "How many are here?"

"In the dark night, people surrounded us from all directions. I can't count them all. It is estimated that they all rushed over."

Qin Lang hummed, "Put on the armor for me."

Chang Sun Chong has already got up quickly, "Xuan Xiang, I request to return to the camp under my post."

"Go."

"Pay attention to safety, you will become a general in the future, or even become a general, so you can't break it here."

Changsun Chong turned his head, grinned, and stretched out his hand to hammer his chest, "Please rest assured Xuanshuai, Xuanshuai take care."
