As autumn begins, the sky in Lanzhou seems to have leaked, and the rain keeps falling. There are very few farmlands in Lanzhou, and no one will open up land and grow grain in this place where Khitans and horse thieves appear in every few days. This rare abundant rainfall in the northwest will fall white when it falls, and instead accumulates everywhere, making the originally dry ground muddy.

The worn-out quilt has become moldy, and the small amount of stored food has become moldy, and even the saddle has smelled a bad smell. Since Tuhun Jun was sent to this place where the birds do not poop, the situation has become worse and worse.

Tuhun is the abbreviation of Tuyuhun. At its peak, the forces reached the east end of Lek (Di)chuan, the west end of Yutian, Gaochang, and the north end of the Qinling Mountains. The Tuyuhun tribe was located on the main traffic route of the Silk Road, acting as an intermediary, guide and translator of Central Asia's land transportation, and also gained a lot of benefits from it. It is said that Fulian Chuangchao internally repaired tribute and tribute externally, and was also called Qiangfu.

Unfortunately, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains was unable to take into account the Western Regions of Longyou. The Tubo powers prospered. The Tuyuhun tribe, which was dependent on the Tang Dynasty, was forced to move eastward. The tribe was scattered. Because of intermarriage with the Han people and other Hu tribes, Tuyuhun as a nation was no longer there by Chen De. Only Emperor Zhuangzong of Later Tang collected Tuyuhun's kids to establish this cavalry Tuhun army because it was still under the name of the past.

In fact, after decades of war and massacre, the Tuhun Army was not all descendants of Tuyuhun, and the soldiers believed that most of the Han and Hu and Han gangs were mixed.

The Tuhun Army Town Jinyang was a main cavalry left by the Central Plains court in the northern capital of Jinyang, the Five Dynasties, to suppress the Khitan Dangxiang. At this time, the Han Emperor Liu Jiyuan was cruel and bloodthirsty and cruel. After killing the commander of the Tuhun Army, Wei Qi, worried about his transformation, he sent Tuhun army to Lanzhou. Three thousand military households helped the elderly and young, and were displaced. Finally, they came to the boundary of Lanzhou. Lanzhou City had more than 10,000 households in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but only less than 3,000 were left at this time. Seeing that there were many empty houses in the city, each military household looked for suitable houses in Lanzhou City and cleaned up. Five things to do when opening the door. Lanzhou City was short of everything, and the military households were worried about their livelihoods. Many soldiers guarding the city walls looked forward to the distance day by day, not looking at the Dangxiang and Khitans who were violating the border, but were waiting for the convoys to transport military rations to arrive earlier.

"In another three days, the family will be out of food." The captain Yu Furengui silently said that this polo master who led the territorial heroes to walk horizontally in Jinyang, now he was worried about the white hair just to feed the two big and two small and four people in his family. Whenever he remembered the little kid at home, he looked pale and thin and dull, Yu Fu couldn't help but pinch the hilt of the knife. The dog emperor killed people without blood. Three thousand men of the Tuhun Army were sent to this wild land. It was useless but not helpful. In just a few years, the famous Tuhun Army would scatter.

Yu Furengui turned his head and looked at the soldiers hiding under the city tower and sheltered from the rain. He sighed unknownly. Is this depressed military spirit still the soil that was as powerful as the desert in the past? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but straighten his back even more, but his stomach was unyielding. Yu Furengui swallowed involuntarily, but his stomach became even more hungry.

In order to distract himself, Yu Furengui looked into the distance. Suddenly, a bright red flag appeared on the horizon in the distance. Sometimes the drizzle made the flag soaked, tightly attached to the thick five-zhang flagpole. Sometimes the strong west wind raised the flag high again, swaying in the wind and rain with heavy weight. The eyesight of shooting geese made Yu Furengui see clearly. The six ink words "Tuhun Commander Chen" were written on the flag.

The army gradually emerged with this big flag. The infantry carried their heavy bags on their backs and marched silently in the rain. Judging from the neat and orderly spear tips, the infantrymen in four rows walked very neatly. Yu Furengui thought silently in his mind that there were three neat spear camps, about 1,500 soldiers.

Following the spear camp were hundreds of large trucks. The goods piled up on the trucks were covered tightly with sheepskin. Nearly a thousand civilians were driving the trucks. When they approached Yu Furengui, they recognized several of the Laozhuang car shops in Jinyang City.

From time to time, small groups of cavalrymen were supporting each other on both sides of the convoy. Yu Furengui couldn't help laughing when he looked at the mounts. What kind of mounts are these, donkeys, mules, and earthen horses that plow the ground, but the short cavalry were stern, as if they were riding a Dayuan horse under their crotch.

The camp behind the convoy was still the head of the infantry, and about three battalions were carrying bulging leather bags. Depending on the size, they thought they were crossbows such as Fuyuan crossbows. In addition, there were also arch backs sealed with oil paper and placed on the big bag on the shoulder. Yu Furengui nodded secretly. The front spear battalion saw that the marching formation was neat, and the specific combat power was unknown. However, the rear crossbow battalion had both standard crossbows and equipped with hard bows according to the abilities and preferences of each soldier. The former was suitable for the entire army to diffuse at the same time, and the latter was suitable for the soldiers to aim and shoot at the enemy. If he was asked to lead the cavalry to attack the Thousand Five Crossbow Formation, it would be difficult to get it.

Later, in addition to the bags, each of the soldiers in the battalion carried a huge square shield on his back. He looked clearly from the side. It seemed that the shield was covered with sharp iron spikes. The weight of the shield seemed to be quite heavy, making almost every soldier struggling to advance in the mud, and his formation was not as neat as the heads of other infantrymen. Yu Furengui noticed that some infantrymen actually carried two giant shields to help the weaker comrades.

Are these people mules? Looking back, Yu Furengui's eyes were frozen. The figure of the last battalion was obviously taller than that of other battalions. Except for the marching bag, each of them carried a snake leather bag about one meter long on his back. The upper end was raised and the lower end was just close to the upper part of the soldiers' thighs. The slender leather bag swayed back and forth with the infantry's steps, and it looked quite neat. The snake leather bag was very tight and the weapons inside could not be seen. But Furengui knew what it was, Modao. The legendary Tang Dynasty Modao Camp reappeared today.

Modao Camp is the nemesis of the cavalry's rushing forward, and it is also the nightmare of other infantrymen. Choose the strongest and bravest strongman, the highest honor, and the best preferential treatment. When fighting, move forward, retreat, break back, and under the five-foot blade, all the people are broken. If Yu Furengui knew the word meat grinder, he would definitely choose without hesitation at this moment. Yes, Modao Camp is the battlefield meat grinder of this era. Even if it has been a hundred years apart, Yu Furengui from the Western Regions still remembers the Han Modao Camp passed down from generation to generation. It is it that made the powerful Tuyu willingly become the eagle dog of the Tang Dynasty.

At the end of the team, there was a cavalry team of 100 people. Yu Furengui recognized Xin Gu, the Khitan people riding on the horse at a glance. He heard that this guy also became the deputy commander, and finally he lived up to his natural divine power that could stab the buffalo to death with a spear. The new commander is a person who doesn't care much about his background.

The other Tuhu soldiers also found an army approaching the city and stood up one after another. Some of them took off the preserved bowstrings to prevent moisture, looked up on the crossbow, and then pushed the huge crossbow on the city to aim at the enemy's only way to attack the city.

"Stay a little bit, maybe it's the commander's army." Yu Furengui shouted loudly to stop the soldiers. The Tuhun Army was most jealous of war. If he couldn't control himself and injured the commander's personal soldiers, it would be troublesome.

Before the black army was winding to the city tower, the wind and rain were getting heavier and heavier. This army, which was mostly composed of infantry, stood quietly under the city tower like an unknown person. The spear camp, the bow and crossbow camp, the sword and shield camp, the Modao camp, and even the cavalry camp stood far behind the stairs line in the form of scattered soldiers. The wind and rain sounded loudly, and even the soldiers at the top of the city felt a little unstable. Under the city, these infantry soldiers who were allowed to blow the wind invisibly brought great pressure to the Tuhun soldiers on the city.

At this time, Yu Fu Rengui believed that when he encountered in field battles, this infantry would never lose to the Tuhun Army, which had a strong horse, a fast sword and a superb cavalry, because they had the same weapon that the Tuhun Army did not possess - discipline. The Tang people, who had strict military discipline at the time, conquered Tuyuhun ancestors who were traversing the desert with military discipline that was enough to despise life and death.

In a daze, two cavalry ran out of the military formation below the city tower. Yan Silang, Dutou of Tuhun Army and Li Si, the captain of the Yajun Army of the Shenwei Army, gathered his feet and shouted loudly: "Tuhun Army Commander, Lord Chen De, the commander of the Shenwei Army, has arrived. Quickly open the city gate to welcome the tiger." The voice penetrated the rain curtain and woke up the Tuhun Army soldiers who were stunned by the strict discipline of the Shenwei Army.

Looking at the soldiers' gazes that raised their heads and inquired, Yu Furengui still retained his awakening as a general and replied to the city: "The Tuhun Army guards the border city, and dare not lose its duties and opens the city at will. Please send a letter to the general and the Ministry of War documents to the city to verify it."

The generals of the Divine Guard Army were wet in the rain for several hours. Although they had been exhausted since the war in Jiangnan and had long since they went to war, they had long since they were rejected by their own city to shower outside. Li Si shouted loudly: "Who are you? How dare you stop the adults from entering the city!

The surname Yu Furengui comes from the Tuyuhun royal family. Although he has long been worn out by life and war, Li Si's question seemed to be a needle pricking somewhere in his heart, as if he wanted to compare with the solemn army standing in the rain. He ignored the awe-in-law of the soldiers around him and replied loudly to the city: "I, Yu Furengui, the third commander of the Tuhun Army, is it. No matter which one you are here, if you don't show the seal document, you will only have to serve the crossbow!"

Although Li Si was a scholar, the clay man also had a rustic nature. He was furious when he heard this. He was about to scold him, but a big hand was placed on his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw that it was the commander Chen De who was riding his horse. Chen De stopped Li Si and said in a deep voice: "Take out my seal and go to the city to check it."

The Ya soldier who kept the seal immediately took out the gold seal of the Ministry of War and the commander of the Tuhun Army, wrapped it tightly with oil paper, and put it into the rattan basket placed on the top of the city. Everyone watched the rope slowly pull the rattan basket up and stood in the rain and waited silently.

Soon, the city gate opened, and several cavalry slowly walked out and came to Chen De. Yu Furengui lowered his head and said, "I don't know how to command the tiger to command the tiger to face, so I apologize to the Lord."

Chen De said, "Before the emperor arrives at the military camp, he must check the documents before he can enter, let alone the important areas of the border town." He waved his hand and did not have to be too polite. He looked around and smiled, "Yu Fu Zhengwei, my Zhou Yafu." Seeing everyone nodding, lifting the reins of the horse, the horse's hooves were able to wade through the shallow mud and water, leading the army slowly into the city.

Yu Furengui and most of the soldiers did not study. I don’t know who Zhou Yafu was, but Li Si nodded secretly. Zhou Yafu was a general of Emperor Jing of Han and a hero who quelled the rebellion of the Seven Kings. Chen De compared Yu Furengui to Zhou Yafu, so how could he boast? Thinking of this, looking at the background of Chen De calmly placing his horse in the rain, his heart was in full swing, and he followed with the horse reins.

Note 1: The Northern Han ruler was cruel. Anyone who was disobedient in his opinion would have to be a family. Since the emperor personally attacked and sent generals to attack, the killing and injury were invincible. Generals Zhang Chongxun, Zheng Jin, Wei Qi, so the prime minister Zhang Zhaomin, Privy Councilor Gao Zhongxi and others all killed them with their talents.

Note 2: Ji Guang was patrolling the frontier and suggested to build an enemy Taiwan... However, the soldiers from the border were strong, and the military law was unbearable. I asked the Zhejiang people to be the army and advocate bravery." The governor and governor came to his opinion and agreed. Three thousand Zhejiang soldiers arrived, and the suburbs of Chen were outside the suburbs. It was raining heavily, and from the morning to the sun, the planting was still unmoved. The border troops were shocked and began to know the military orders. In the autumn of the fifth year, the Taiwan was successful. It was strong and powerful, with a connection of two thousand miles of momentum.
