Huaying and various military officer hears word are silent, knows that the judgment of Great General armed forces is correct, the situation that although presently north the town the armed forces face is quite stern, but the Great Tang all Fangshou enemy, the town southern army and Northeast Armed Force have the important matter respectively, is unable to help. 华颖和诸军官闻言沉默,知道大将军的判断是正确的,当前虽然镇北军面临的局势极为严峻,但大唐诸方受敌,镇南军和东北边军各有要务,根本无法来援。 Very common dot of Valley Stream on the Great Tang Empire territory, is away from the Chang An City also more than 2000 li (0.5 km), but looking back now, before is actually Chang An City , a final defense line, therefore Xu Chi decides to defend stubbornly here, even General's Residence must go north! 谷河在大唐帝国的疆土上只是很不起眼的一个小点,距离长安城还有2000余里,但现在看来,却是长安城之前最后的一道防线,所以徐迟决定在这里固守,甚至将军府都要北上！ A ravine piece of silencing, nobody spoke for a long time, the snowflake fell gently slowly, the temperature and atmosphere simultaneously became cold, although knows that Xu Chi's judgment was right, but must make north the town the armed forces drop the original strategic planning, defended stubbornly...... That will pay the how serious price, moreover can defend really? 山间一片静寂,很长时间都没有人说话,雪花缓缓地飘落,气温与气氛同时变得寒冷了很多,虽然都知道徐迟的判断是对的,但要让镇北军放弃原先的战略计划,就地固守……那将会付出多么惨重的代价,而且真能守得住吗？ They compare the ordinary soldiers to be clearer, the royal government completely the biggest strength, the government and people worked as one up and down, the general publics tight clothes shrinks the food, supplies the grain and fodder that north the town the armed forces are needing continuously, even a cold winter, in the present military compound has still been able to eat the fresh pork, weapon armor does not have any issue. 他们比普通的士卒更清楚,朝廷已经尽了最大的力量,朝野上下齐心合力,普通民众紧衣缩食,源源不断地供给着镇北军所需要的粮草,甚至过了一个寒冬,现在的军营里依然能够吃到新鲜的猪肉,军械盔甲方面更是没有任何问题。 However the Valley Stream terrain determined...... If north the town the armed forces want to block Jin Zhang Royal Court beyond that means that needs to resist ten ten thousand grassland cavalries directly, but that inevitably is the field operation that north the present town the armed forces most do not want to face! 但是谷河的地形确定了……如果镇北军想把金帐王庭拦在那一线之外,意味着需要正面抵抗十余万草原铁骑,而那必然将是现在的镇北军最不想面对的野战！ The town northern armed forces north the running amuck mainland, came and went out grassland not to envy in the past, the most common soldier also excels at riding the essence to shoot, how could to have dreaded the field operation? But now they actually have to evade the field operation desirably, because they have the most fatal issue: Lacking warhorse. 镇北军当年横行大陆北方,出入草原不忌,最普通的士兵也擅骑精射,何曾畏惧过野战？但现在他们却是不得不刻意避着野战,因为他们有个最致命的问题:缺少战马。 Huaying broke: within silence, before he arrives at Xu Chi body, on one knee kneels down, tranquilly and firmly said „Cannot defend dies.” 华颖打破了场间的沉默,他走到徐迟身前单膝跪下,平静而坚定地说道:“守不住就死。” Xu Chi looks at his gray temple, looks that his these years the appearance of extremely fast aging was suffered by the frontier fortress bitter cold weather, is somewhat sad, but on the face has not actually revealed slightly, said: „Wrong. Even if dies, you must defend to me.” 徐迟看着他花白的鬓角,看着他这些年被边塞苦寒天气折磨的极速老化的容颜,心情有些沉重,但脸上却没有显露出丝毫,说道:“错。就算是死,你也要给我守住。” Huaying without hesitation, should say: „Compliant.” 华颖毫不犹豫,应道:“遵命。” Xu Chi him helped up, to visit him silent long time, finally cannot bear, the feeling said: „These years were laborious you.” 徐迟将他扶起,看着他沉默了很长时间,最终还是没能忍住,感慨说道:“这些年辛苦你了。” Huaying smiled, has not said anything. 华颖笑了笑,没有说什么。 Has made war since with Jin Zhang Royal Court. He has then defended in the Great Tang area most north. As the cutting edge, undertakes importantly is also being the most serious duty, although his subordinates have the cavalry soldier who north the town the armed forces only save now, but still defends very difficult. 与金帐王庭开战以来。他便一直守在大唐疆域的最北方。身为先锋,承担着最重要也是最沉重的任务,虽然他的麾下现在拥有镇北军仅存的骑兵,但依然守的十分艰难。 If not his martial arts cultivate to extremely high. The Tang Military defense is extremely strict, even several times he nearly on powerhouse assassination by grassland. 如果不是他自己武道修为极高。唐军防御极严,甚至有好几次他都险些被草原上的强者暗杀。 But Huaying never any complaint, when even Xu Chi wants he recalls the Beidaying recuperation, by him seriously is rejected. 但华颖从来没有任何怨言,甚至当徐迟想要把他调回北大营休整时,都被他非常严肃地拒绝了。 The town northern armed forces high and low understand why actually this is, in remote Chang An City, the big shots of honored person and military headquarters in imperial palace also understand reason. 镇北军上下其实都明白这是为什么,就连遥远的长安城里,皇宫里的贵人和军部的大佬也明白其中的原因。 Huaying is surnamed Hua, Hua Family magnificent, Hua Shanue magnificent. 华颖姓华,华家的华,华山岳的华。 Hua Shanue follows Li Yu to seek the revolting matter to defeat, the body dies at the scene. With him together these military officers from solid mountain county secret counter- Capital. Then was delivered to Beidaying by Ning Que, received exchange the honor with the military exploit, for several years the time passes by, these people few were also living. 华山岳跟随李渔谋叛事败,当场身死。与他一道从固山郡秘密反京的那些军官。则是被宁缺送到北大营,用军功换回荣誉,数年时间过去,那些人已经没有几个还活着了。 Receives this matter to implicate, once prestige illustrious Hua Family also rapidly deteriorated. Now then only then Huaying is still holding the post of the important position in the armed forces. 受到此事牵连,曾经威名赫赫的华家也迅速衰败。现在便只有华颖还在军中担任着重要的职位。 Therefore Huaying goes all out very much, he must put together thousand th with his life for Hua Family not but actually, puts together a brilliance, puts together a high-spiritedness. 所以华颖很拼命,他要用自己的命替华家拼出个千世不倒,拼出个光彩夺目,拼出个意气风发。 Xu Chi said: „Do not go all out, is living well.” 徐迟说道:“不要太拼命,活着最好。” Huaying has not replied directly these words, said: „We will win.” 华颖没有正面回答这句话,说道:“我们会胜利的。” ...... …… ...... …… Great Tang Zhengshi Year 6, West Ling great order in 3455, spring end. 大唐正始六年,西陵大治3455年,春末。 North the Great Tang town the armed forces cutting edge, 170 li (0.5 km) south Wei City locates, met with the Jin Zhang Royal Court cavalry soldier, Lien Chan more than ten, had the victory to lose on , after that north the town the armed forces main force all went north, exhibited the camp area Valley Stream. 大唐镇北军先锋,于渭城南170里处,与金帐王庭骑兵相遇,连战十余日,有胜有负,其后镇北军主力悉数北上,于谷河一带摆开阵营。 In world most formidable two military powers, formally start to dispute, Lien Chan more than ten, had the victory to lose on , but Valley Stream still the camp of armed forces after the town, the Jin Zhang cavalry soldier cannot go south one step. 世间最强大的两个军事力量,正式开始较量,又连战十余日,有胜有负,但谷河依然在镇北军的营后,金帐骑兵未能南下一步。 During the both sides temporary recuperation, re-enters confronts, was only everyone is clear and past is different, these time will confront is impossible to continue for dozens days for several years, most 1-2 days, the flames of war will then even continue to burn. 双方暂时休整,重新进入对峙之中,只是谁都清楚和以往不同,这一次的对峙不可能持续数十天甚至数年,最多一两天,战火便将继续燃烧。 The town northern armed forces to keep off the Jin Zhang Royal Court cavalry soldier north Valley Stream, has paid the extremely serious price, because they lack the warhorse seriously, even if the bow blade most adept, the equestrian skill exquisitest veteran, now has can only grasp plain and simple blade, as the flank guard of array, but is unable to go forth to battle to kill the enemy. 镇北军为了将金帐王庭的骑兵挡在谷河以北,付出了极惨重的代价,因为他们严重缺少战马,哪怕是弓刀最娴熟、骑术最精湛的老兵,现在有很多都只能手持朴刀,做为阵列的侧翼掩护,而无法上阵杀敌。 North strongest town armed forces cavalry, because does not have the warhorse, can only regard the infantry to use, whose eye regardless in, this is the careless and wasteful uses of nature's products, however who can change all these? 最强的镇北军铁骑,就因为没有战马,只能当成步兵使用,无论在谁的眼中,这都是暴殄天物,然而又有谁能改变这一切呢？ Forced Tang Country to sign the peace treaty from the past West Ling temple, Evening Source is ceded, the warhorse was treated as starting from that day that the spoils of war handed over, fact that now this angry no use one, is been doomed. 从当年西陵神殿逼迫唐国签下和约,向晚原被割让,战马被当作战利品交出的那天开始,现在这令人愤怒无助的一幕,便是已经注定的事实。 Newborn the morning sun rose from the East, in these vision best armed forces the powerhouse, or stays Xu Chi in rear General's Residence, can see indistinctly, if in the blood rosy-colored clouds at dawn, there is a Mount Min form. 新生的朝阳从东方升了起来,那些视力最好的军中强者,或是停留在后方的将军府里的徐迟,隐约能够看到,如血般的朝霞里,有岷山的身影。 Yesterday the Jin Zhang Royal Court cavalry soldier north removed temporarily, returns to Kaiping collection one, made the temporary recuperation, was the preparation final offensive, facing will firm incomparable Tang Military, facing similarly thorny infantry and cavalry coordination array, Jin Zhang Royal Court that Chief was unable to satisfy the partial victory in battlefield, was more anxious because of passing of time, clearly, the forthcoming that field operation, is north the town the armed forces have never faced the raging tide. 昨日金帐王庭的骑兵暂时北撤,回到开平集一线,做暂时的休整,也是准备最后的攻势,面对意志坚定无比的唐军,面对同样棘手的步骑配合阵列,金帐王庭那位单于已经无法满足于战场上的局部胜利,更因为时间的流逝而焦虑,很明显,即将到来的那场野战,将是镇北军从未面临过的狂澜。 Situ Yilan stands in the meadow, the hand-held waist sword, looks at the Jin Zhang Royal Court cavalry soldier's direction in camp, full was on the face of dust writes all over was calm and vigilant, was narrowing in the eye dodged is also wanting the cold ray compared with the knife point. 司徒依兰站在草甸上,手扶腰刀,看着金帐王庭骑兵驻营的方向,满是灰尘的脸上写满了冷静与警惕,微眯着的眼睛里闪着比刀锋还要冷的光芒。 As the Academy the posterity of disciple and senior general, she was at north the town armed forces' performance one such as the past years to be outstanding, already became the youngest general, now is the assistant of Huaying, deeply north the love of armed forces officers by town. 做为书院弟子和老将军的后人,她在镇北军的表现一如当年优秀,早已成为最年轻的将军,现在则是华颖的副手,深受镇北军官兵的爱戴。 A consecutively dozens day fight, for serveral days, the town northern armed forces bore the enormous pressure particularly recently, has paid the extremely serious price, military doctor some in camp have not been able to close the eyes for three days and nights. 连续数十日的战斗,尤其是最近这些天,镇北军承受了极大的压力,也付出了极惨重的代价,营中的军医有的已经连续三个昼夜没能合眼。 Thinks these times, the Situ Yilan facial expression is very tranquil, has not made own soldier see any issue, but the issue still exists, like the heavy stone, presses on her heart. 想到这些的时候,司徒依兰的神情很平静,没有让身旁的亲兵看出任何问题,但问题依然存在,像沉重的的石头般,压在她的心上。 Jin Zhang Royal Court does not retreat, but is the recuperation, the military order of Great General armed forces is to cling to tenaciously Valley Stream, the tiny step does not draw back, this piece of wilderness will it seems like be doomed becomes hundreds of thousands of lives tombs, but does not know finally will have the qualifications by the stance of victor for the dead writing epitaph which side can be. 金帐王庭不是撤退,而是休整,大将军的军令是死守谷河,寸步不退,这片原野看来注定将成为数十万生命的墓地,只是不知道最后有资格以胜利者的姿态替死者书写墓志铭的会是哪一方。 She is at north the town in the armed forces level to be very high, can know the military situation that the ordinary soldier does not know, the solid mountain Jun reinforcements tried to sneak attack some Jin Zhang Royal Court from Mount Min yesterday, result are seen through ahead of time, that tribe rapid closes up to Royal Court, thus made north the town the armed forces lose has disrupted the best opportunity of enemy root foot. 她在镇北军里位阶很高,能够知道很多普通士兵不知道的军情,昨日固山郡的援兵试图从岷山中麓偷袭金帐王庭某部,结果被提前识破,那个部落迅速向王庭靠拢,从而让镇北军失去了打乱敌人根脚的最佳机会。 What to do then can also? 那么还能怎么办呢？ Situ Yilan was staring at the sand table last night silent long time, experience two comparisons of knowledge that Mr. Academy and military headquarters seniors teach in armed forces, throughout could not find any method. 司徒依兰昨夜盯着沙盘沉默了很长时间,把书院先生和军部前辈们教授的知识与自己在军中的经验两相对照,始终找不到什么方法。 Decided that north town armed forces strategy, can only be Xu Chi Great General armed forces, or toward south looked, but also includes that in imperial palace mister to the sister and brother as well as Academy, but she also wants to strive. 决定镇北军战略的,只能是徐迟大将军,或者往更南方去看,还包括皇宫里的那对姐弟以及书院里的诸位先生,但她也想出份力。 What a pity...... 可惜…… Situ Yilan besides the stone serious issue, has doubts at heart. 司徒依兰心里除了石块般沉重的问题,还有很多疑惑。 The strategy of Xu Chi Great General armed forces cannot say that is wrong, most starts retreats, the present bloody battle clings to tenaciously, the former is must use the space receiving in exchange time, and armed forces of weary enemy, the latter is because cannot make the defeat potential reveal slightly, must stabilize the Great Tang northern border with the absolute blood and iron. But clearly, should have is better, or a more flexible way, the way or not staking everything on a single throw of the dice. 徐迟大将军的战略并不能说是错的,无论是最开始的时候撤退进,还是现在的血战死守,前者是要用空间换取时间,并且疲敌之军,后者则是因为不能让败势稍显,必须要用绝对的铁血来稳定大唐的北疆。但很明显,应该还有很多更好、或者说更灵活的方式,或者说不那么孤注一掷的方式。 The Xu Chi Great General armed forces present strategy, was equal to attracting area Valley Stream Jin Zhang Royal Court all main forces completely, if can win, even if the main cavalry soldier of opposite party wanted to escape is very difficult. 徐迟大将军现在的战略,等于是把金帐王庭的所有主力全部吸引到了谷河一带,如果能够获得胜利,对方的主力骑兵即便想要逃逸都很困难。 Must know that in Great Tang and Jin Zhang Royal Court several hundred years of war, Royal Court most made the Tang people headache then can run away, even if Tang Military won, the Royal Court cavalry soldier withdrew the grassland deep place rapidly, Tang Military is unable to annihilate its main force. 要知道在大唐与金帐王庭数百年的战争里,王庭最令唐人头痛的便是能逃,即便唐军获胜,王庭骑兵迅速撤回草原深处,唐军根本无法歼灭其主力。 In this strategy has great military wisdom, but needs to be carried out, what is most essential, Tang Military must first win, how can discuss to annihilate the Jin Zhang main force the issue. 这个战略里有很多了不起的军事智慧,但需要能够被执行,最关键的是,唐军首先要获得胜利,才能够谈论怎样歼灭金帐主力的问题。 Achieves the success of this war? Situ Yilan cannot think now, she does not think that Xu Chi Great General armed forces can want to come out, therefore she is not even more clear, the Great General armed forces or royal government is thinking anything. 怎么获得这场战争的胜利？司徒依兰现在想不出来,她不认为徐迟大将军能够想出来,所以她越发不明白,大将军或者说朝廷在想些什么。 She is not sad Monastery Lord righteousness, is not the defeatist, she in these Tang Military like own soldier as well as the camp, does not dread to the Jin Zhang Royal Court cavalry soldier, but told her sanely, the victory was very remote. 她不是悲观主义者,更不是失败主义者,她就像身旁的亲兵以及营里那些唐军一样,对金帐王庭的骑兵毫不畏惧,但理智告诉她,胜利真的很遥远。 According to the truth, the town northern armed forces quality is extremely high, backs on Valley Stream, was occupies seven points of place to benefit, when day person, and did not raise, being insufficient made her so desperate, however that unsolved problem...... 按道理来说,镇北军素质极高,背靠谷河,也算是占了七分地利,天时人和且不去提,怎么也不至于让她如此绝望,然而还是那个老问题…… Without the horse. 没有马。 Without the warhorse. 没有战马。 Town northern armed forces not enough warhorses. 镇北军没有足够数量的战马。 Situ Yilan leads own soldier to turn back camp, the soldier who occurred happen to meet along the way stands up to her salutes, she can distinguish clearly, the attitude that although the soldiers salute is almost exactly the same, in fact has very big distinction, for example north the newly-arrived town the armed forces less than two years of soldier, the look are clearer and calmer, facial expression also somewhat final shyness, but these many years of veterans, in the facial expression pass meaning that the stock is inundating does not care about, as for look...... Very clever has stroked on oneself, although very small movement, but she feels unusual is obvious. 司徒依兰带着亲兵走回营地,沿途遇着的士兵纷纷站起向她行礼,她能清楚地分辩出来,虽然士兵们行礼的姿式几乎一模一样,实际上却有很大的分别,比如新到镇北军不足两年的士兵,眼神更加澄静,神情还有些最后的腼腆,而那些多年的老兵,神情里透着股漫不在乎的意味,至于眼神……很贼地在自己身上拂过,虽然只是很小的动作,但她感觉的非常明显。 These veterans make her associate to have a person, had not seen for a long time the person, her once schoolfellow, afterward so-called mister, that has stood the the human world uppermost layer fellow. 那些老兵让她联想起一个人,已经很长时间没有见过的人,她曾经的同窗,后来的所谓先生,那个已经站到了人间最上层的家伙。
