The setting sun in the western sky, two ride to go slowly on popular name dragon eye smooth sand, walks 30 li (0.5 km) toward south again, is Beiliang border pass's first male city Tiger Head City. Inside and outside this city stations the crack troops 30,000, cavalry 3000, light cavalry 6000, foot soldiers more than 20,000. Even if in the city does not include the common people of military register, so long as is the young age, can wear armor in the hastiness starts to fight. Tiger Head City is equipped with the bosom Yangguan of Beiliang Duhu Residence behind newly, about two willow bud with bosom Yangguan and iron Poris cocos two big Guan Cheng, supports the soldier more than ten thousand, occupies superior Tiger Head City with the infantry population absolutely not too, the willow bud and iron Poris cocos two army towns are almost uniform are the cavalries of fast horse light armor, obviously with mainly uses to hinder „defense that” the Beimang army goes south Tiger Head City to be opposite, the border town that these two city scales plan inferior, undertakes the task that initiates an attack. The first front that after this offense and defense has both, then takes brocade/bright source Qinghe Shigetsuka three to close for the pivot and scrophularia buergeriana supernatural might two cities for northern Liangzhou is the second front of two wings, is stationed in Snow Dragon of Liangzhou border to ride the army year to year, army who and infantry and cavalry two first mates lead Chen Yunchui what Zhonghu. In addition the jig-saw patterned fifth heavenly stem fort watchtower, without a doubt, north Liangzhou border, is entire Beiliang most the battlefield that is difficult to shake is, generally speaking, Beimang is most impossible to attack guards with large army steadily, if the Liangzhou north line of rock, if the northern barbarian really wants to open mouth to eat up here, perhaps was not only the coming down tooth and blood swallows is so simple. Compares the Malaysian sharp knife to excel by far the Beiliang Liangzhou north line, that side Youzhou is in the majority by the foot soldiers, therefore infantry general Yan Wenluan commander Zhang also there, north the Youzhou the assignment of topography or garrison, decided Youzhou is in the typical meaning the offensive and defensive war of north nomadic and Central Plain agriculture, a side attacks a city a side to defend a city, but does not depend the Xu Family cavalry like northern Liangzhou that type, dares to exhibit with the Beimang cavalry in the stance on the horseback attacking. Both sides the dragon cavalry's intermediate zone stationed in cool quiet two state, can support likely at any time, even roaming drag searches the fighter aircraft on own initiative everywhere, not einstellung, but with supposes the fourth state class/flow state newly, 30,000 dragon army enter likely, the period of quiet cool two state separates a crack imperceptibly. 夕阳西下,两骑缓行于一处俗称龙眼儿的平坦沙地上,再往南走三十里,便是北凉边关第一雄城虎头城。此城内外屯扎精兵三万,铁骑三千,轻骑六千,步卒两万多。城中即便不列入兵籍的百姓,只要是青壮年纪,都可以在仓促之中披甲上马而战。虎头城身后则是新设有北凉都护府的怀阳关,与怀阳关一线左右又有两座柳芽、铁茯苓两大关城,拥兵万余,与步军人数绝对占优的虎头城不太一样,柳芽和铁茯苓两座军镇几乎清一色都是快马轻甲的骑兵,显然与主要用以阻滞北莽大军南下的“守城”虎头城相反,这两座城池规模逊色一筹的边城,更多担负起主动出击的任务。在这攻守兼备的第一道战线后,则是以锦源清河重冢三关为支点、玄参神武两城为凉州北边为两翼的第二条战线,紧接着便是常年驻扎凉州边境的大雪龙骑军,以及步骑两大副帅陈云垂何仲忽的大军。加上犬牙交错的戊堡碉楼,毋庸置疑,凉州以北的边境,是整个北凉最难撼动的战场所在,一般来说,北莽最不可能攻打重兵把守稳若磐石的凉州北线,北蛮子真要想张嘴吃下这里,恐怕就不仅仅是崩落牙齿和血吞这么简单了。相较大马快刀冠绝北凉的凉州北线,幽州那边以步卒居多,所以步军大帅燕文鸾的帅帐也在那里,不论是幽州以北的地势还是驻军的分配,都决定了幽州才是典型意义上北方游牧和中原农耕的攻守战,一方攻城一方守城,而不像凉州北那种仗着徐家铁骑,都敢摆出与北莽骑兵在马背上对攻的架势。原本龙象铁骑驻扎在凉幽两州的中间地带,可以随时支援两侧,甚至主动四处游曳寻觅战机,并无定势,只是随着新设第四州流州,三万龙象军进驻其中,幽凉两州的紧密联系无形中割裂出一条裂缝。 The Liyang Dynasty northwest's largest city, is not the state city of Beiliang domestic cool tomb quiet three state, but is this towering but looks at boldly Beimang Tiger Head City! 离阳王朝西北第一大城,不是北凉境内凉陵幽三州的州城,而是这座突兀而出雄视北莽的虎头城！ In the Youzhou border also has some for example Daomaguan this kind to come and go out the cool headstrong mountain pass for the trade route, but north Liangzhou, does not have! 幽州边境上还有一些例如倒马关这类供商旅出入凉莽的关隘,但是凉州以北,一个都没有！ Here is doomed, only then rocket rising from all directions yellow sand hundred wars, but will never hear the caravan camel bell sound. 这里注定只有狼烟四起黄沙百战,而永远不会听到商队驼铃声。 Although be only two ride, but rides to tow to entrain both hands bundle distressed woman. Her whole body dust, the lip is split, on the foot that pair such as the Jiangnan composed unmarried girl's fine embroidered shoes are also damaged, revealed the dripping with blood toe. Her figure creakies, but was still insisting with hardship. When she can raise the head remote sees in that legend most to like in the top chocking up Tiger Head City of Beimang captive head, she because of this inopportune stop, was then towed to entrain by the warhorse knocks down, that rode dead has not turned the head, she struggled to set out strongly, will otherwise be towed to go to Tiger Head City, but exhausted she has not really been able to stand, will only stand up from failure, the back transmitted fire of a glide in gravel to burn the stabbing pain, this pain did not lie in having the big severe pain in an instant, but lay in the continuous, tip accumulations. 虽然只有两骑,但是其中一骑拖拽着一个双手捆绑的狼狈女子。她浑身尘土,嘴唇干裂,脚上那双如江南婉约闺女的精致绣鞋也破败不堪,露出了鲜血淋漓的脚趾。她身形摇摇欲坠,但是还在苦苦坚持。当她能够抬头遥望见那座传说中最喜欢在城头上摆满北莽俘虏脑袋的虎头城,她因为这个不合时宜的停顿,然后被战马拖拽得扑倒在地,那名骑卒没有转头,她竭力挣扎起身,否则就会被这么拖着前往虎头城,可精疲力竭的她实在已经无法站起来,只会翻了个身,后背传来一阵滑行在砂砾上的火烫刺痛,这种痛苦不在于刹那间产生多大的剧痛,而在于绵绵不绝,点点滴滴的积累。 Beimang that is ordered to handle affairs rode dead unable to bear turn the head to shoot a look at the eye, such sat woman on clouds high, fell down the shrine, finally like pulling the dog towed to entrain the vanguard by him and mount. 那名奉命行事的北莽骑卒忍不住转头瞥了眼,这么一个高坐云端上的女子,就这么跌下神坛,结果被他和坐骑像牵狗一样拖拽前行。 He turns the head to look that front that rides, he does not know why this person does not kill him, does not know why does not kill her. 他转头看着前方那一骑,他不知道为什么这个人不杀他,也不知道为什么也不杀她。 The distant place, the hubbub rises from all directions, imposing several hundred people ride the team to shock the land but loudly. 远处,尘嚣四起,一支气势雄壮的数百人骑队震撼着大地轰然而至。 His heart contracted fiercely, this is the first time that his entire life Beiliang that sees this big number rides the army, he also soon discovered that Beiliang rode the army to ride the difference of army with the past in the liu's characters army, the latter breached enemy lines to kill the enemy, without doubt very fierce brave was also very cruel, after he threw the army, oneself was also so, otherwise could not become big General willow Gui own health/guard Qijun one. However front these Beiliang ride the army to his feeling, actually must be more fearful, previously battled is not obvious with that mark roaming crossbowman, but thought these famous Beiliang roaming crossbowman strengths are truly astonishing, but after surpassing 300 population, gives people a very strange feeling, probably this 300-400 ride unified whole, their whipping on a horse, will be full of one type to make all Beimang warriors feel extremely irritable bearing patiently and restraint. At present these Tiger Head City garrison, even each body follows the cyclic variation of horseback, is exactly the same. 他心脏剧烈收缩了一下,这还是他生平第一次见到这种大数目的北凉骑军,他也很快发现北凉骑军跟以往所在柳字军骑军的不同,后者陷阵杀敌,无疑很悍勇也很残忍,他投军以后,自己也是如此,否则也成为不了大将军柳珪亲卫骑军之一。但是前方这些北凉骑军给他的感觉,却要更加可怕,先前跟那标游弩手交战还不明显,不过是觉得那些久负盛名的北凉游弩手确实战力惊人,可当超出三百人数之后,就给人一种很古怪的感觉,像是这300-400骑浑然一体,他们的策马扬鞭,充满了一种会让所有北莽勇士都会感到极其别扭的隐忍和克制。眼前这些虎头城驻军,甚至每一次身体跟随马背的起伏幅度,都如出一辙。 He only heard the big tent/account that two expense innumerable gold and silver feed rides again, when unfolds the formation to conduct a charge completely, can achieve to advance in unison truly. 他只听说那两支用无数金银喂养出的大帐重骑,在完完整整铺开阵型进行一线冲锋时,能够真正做到齐头并进。 This 400 ride almost turns over/stands up dismount simultaneously, is a middle-aged knight knees down, lowers the head to hold the Fist Dao: „humble general Liu Jinu, see Prince!” 这四百骑几乎同时翻身下马,为首一名中年骑士单膝跪地,低头抱拳道:“末将刘寄奴,参见王爷！” Later 400 ride said with one voice: „See Prince!” 之后四百骑异口同声道:“参见王爷！” The Xu Fengnian smile said: „Gets up, this exhausted Liu General went out of town to welcome.” 徐凤年微笑道:“都起来吧,这趟劳烦刘将军出城相迎了。” Xu Fengnian that can also ride a horse the young captive who wears armor to stare behind, the brain a little could not make a turn, but he noticed that clothes armor blade crossbow with rode dead behind exactly the same Liu General when setting out, seemed like a cripple? 徐凤年身后那名还能骑马披甲的年轻俘虏愣了一下,脑筋有点转不过弯来,但是他看到那名衣甲刀弩与身后骑卒一模一样的刘将军在起身时,似乎是个瘸子？ Then he knows that who this plain-looking lame military commander was, under Beiliang commander side the first person, Tiger Head City garrison commander Liu Quezi! 然后他就知道这位相貌平平的瘸腿武将是谁了,北凉诸位统帅之下的边将第一人,虎头城守将刘瘸子！ He does not know what Liu Jinu, but almost every liu's characters sergeant died, had heard this has legendary Liu Quezi in the desert. This person is bigger with many meritorious services on the frontier in the Beimang infamy more Beiliang brave generals is different, Liu Quezi in the Beimang Southern Dynasty scholar mouth, that was recognized, when Shiliang, the training troops law will be stern, but outside the battlefield regarded the soldiers like the parent-child, when two sons and two daughters, the sons the dying in battle border pass, the youngest son have died was about 16 years old. Both daughters married his subordinate, became the widow. Liu Quezi opposes the enemy is never softhearted, actually never slaughters innocents, in 14 years of previous retaliatory long-distance raid, in the thorough paternal aunt stops up state the center, beheads ten thousand broken, that leg was punctured thoroughly with the dagger by captive woman, but Liu Quezi has not killed her as before, only leaves behind one not to know that genuine and fake but much-quoted words when prairie, „our Beiliang is your Beimang, when the son dies completely, is one's turn your woman.” 他不知道什么刘寄奴,但几乎每一个柳字军士卒,都听说过这个在大漠上极具传奇色彩的刘瘸子。此人跟许多边功越大在北莽骂名越多的北凉猛将不一样,刘瘸子在北莽南朝读书人嘴里,那都是公认的当世良将,治军法度森严,但战场外视士卒如亲子,两儿两女,儿子都已战死边关,小儿子死时不过十六岁。两个女儿都嫁给了他的部下,又都成了寡妇。刘瘸子对敌从不心慈手软,却从不滥杀无辜,在十四年前一次报复性的长途奔袭中,深入姑塞州境内腹地,一路斩首破万,那条腿就是被一名俘虏女子用匕首刺透,但刘瘸子依旧没有杀她,只留下一句不知真假但在草原上广为流传的话,“不论是我们北凉还是你们北莽,只有等到男儿死尽之时,才轮到你们女子。” Liu Jinu accompanies Xu Fengnian to go to that imposing Tiger Head City, the painstaking care of his most lifetime there, looks at that big city wall, this meritorious military service splendid military commander look is exceptionally warm. 刘寄奴陪着徐凤年前往那座气势雄伟的虎头城,他大半辈子的心血都在那儿了,看着那高大城墙,这位战功彪炳的武将眼神异常温暖。 They four hundred elite cavalry turn round the horse's head return trip behind slowly, could not bear look at several that to be strange two people, north youngster of equitation the barbarian attire, carrying the weapon were very actually many, then towed sable duplicate volume woman that can only walk pitifully. 他们身后四百精骑缓缓拨转马头返程,都忍不住看了几眼那古怪两人,骑马的年轻人一身北蛮子装束,携带兵器倒是挺多,然后拖着一个只能可怜步行的貂覆额女子。 After entering the city, Xu Fengnian has taken a bath, changed a clothing, Liu Jinu and several Tiger Head City Colonel stands under the outer court step respectfully. 入城后,徐凤年洗过澡,换了一身衣衫,刘寄奴和几位虎头城校尉恭敬站在外院阶下。 Side Xu Fengnian previous time patrols as cool weather of early autumn king, halts in bosom Yangguan, has not arrived here, it is said that several Colonel quite have the unstated criticism complaint immediately, said that this Prince looks down upon their Tiger Head City, will die to regard the bastard who the Beiliang stepmother raised Tiger Head City. Leads that Colonel that 3000 ride again to threaten publicly, has the skill to make bosom Yangguan that group of soft eggs garrison with him practices wushu one time, he is not glad to bully to cherish Yang Qibing is a light cavalry, at the worst makes them borrow the soldier again 2,000-3,000, does not need three rounds of charges to do that fellows to be defeated in the same old way. Xu Fengnian saw disguises calmly the robust man, but obviously somewhat shrinks constrained, beckons to hint these Tiger Head City pillar/backbone military commanders to sit down the speech, the Liu Jinu qualifications meritorious military service is placed there, he can speak with the old cool kings in the past calmly, facing Xu Fengnian of Beiliang new master, insufficiently is certainly helpless, sits on the stone stool confidently, after the corner of the eye split vision glimpses that previously drank, scolds the most ominous horse puncture vine, this little while does not dare to see charming young woman of boyfriend with, moved stone Deng to sit in the final head, coward. 徐凤年上次以新凉王的身份巡边,在怀阳关止步,没有来到这里,据说那当下那几位校尉都颇有腹诽怨言,说这位王爷瞧不起他们虎头城,把虎头城将卒当成了北凉后娘养的崽子。领三千重骑的那位校尉就公开扬言,有本事让怀阳关那帮软蛋驻军跟他演武一次,他也不乐意欺负怀阳骑兵是轻骑,大不了让他们再借兵个2,000-3,000,照样不用三轮冲锋就干得那帮家伙丢盔弃甲。徐凤年看到其中一个假装镇定但是明显有些拘束畏缩的壮汉,招手示意这些虎头城支柱武将都坐下说话,刘寄奴的资历战功摆在那里,他当年跟老凉王都能心平气和说话,面对北凉新主的徐凤年,当然也不至于手足无措,坦然坐在石凳上,眼角余光瞥见那个先前喝酒后骂得最凶的马蒺藜,这会儿跟个不敢见情郎的娇羞小娘们似的,搬着石凳坐在了最后头,缩头缩脑。 Xu Fengnian crooked head, probably is finding the person, smiles to ask intentionally: „Liu General, does not know that threatened, even if does the kungfu skill cannot be victorious I, can actually drink to fall face down my horse Colonel Sir horse, present?” 徐凤年歪了歪脑袋,好像在找人,故意笑问道:“刘将军,不知道那位扬言就算拳脚功夫打不过我,却能喝趴下我的马校尉马大人,在不在场？” Liu Jinu bears the laughter, without speech. 刘寄奴忍住笑声,没说话。 Presents several temper unable to bear smile with frontier fortress sandstorm rough Colonel to make noise generally all of a sudden, in the laughter was full of the frank good intentions. 在座几位性子跟边塞风沙一般粗糙的校尉一下子就忍不住笑出声,笑声中都充满了直爽善意。 The temper supple son, will also be exposed to the sun by here year after year sinister sun probably hardly. 性子再阴柔的男儿,大概也会被这里年复一年的毒辣日头晒硬了。 The heart narrow and small man, probably will also be been extravagant by here day after day day high ground, overhanging bearing. 心胸再狭小的男子,大概也会被这里日复一日的天高地阔,给撑出了气量。 That horse puncture vine relaxing pole, reveals the head in robe Ze behind high, abandons something as beyond redemption saying: „reporting Prince, humble officer, if you were really angry, wants humble officer to eat the whip, does not have two words certainly. By whip time, can look for place that makes the humble officer subordinate unable to find? Otherwise later must die by that group of fellow jokes.” 那个马蒺藜直起腰杆,在袍泽身后高高露出脑袋,破罐子破摔道:“启禀王爷,卑职在的,如果你老人家真生气了,要卑职吃鞭子,绝无二话。就是挨鞭子的时候,能不能找个让卑职下属瞧不见的地儿？否则以后得被那帮家伙笑话死。” Xu Fengnian obviously not with the meaning that this man haggles over, asked: „Liu General, can everyone drink?” 徐凤年显然没有跟这汉子计较的意思,问道:“刘将军,各位都能喝酒？” Liu Jinu nods to tease with a smile: „Hē can certainly drink, this group of people go to war that a matter, on the liquor table each one absolute monarchs first. However the horse puncture vine and soldier bamboo writing slips both must be on duty to go on night patrol, so long as others do not drink are dead drunk, might as well.” 刘寄奴点头笑着打趣道:“喝当然都能喝,这帮人打仗就那么回事,酒桌上个个天王老子第一。不过马蒺藜和褚汗青两部都要当值巡夜,其他人只要不喝得酩酊大醉,都无妨。” Xu Fengnian un, „that we drank a point, previous time owes, after can only , had the opportunity to make up again.” 徐凤年嗯了一声,“那咱们喝个点到为止,上次欠下的,就只能以后有机会再补上了。” Liu Jinu turns the head to shout: „Horse puncture vine, holds two altar/jar liquor with the soldier bamboo writing slips personally, then rolls to go on night patrol.” 刘寄奴转头喊道:“马蒺藜,跟褚汗青亲自去抱两坛酒来,然后滚去巡夜。” The horse puncture vine feels relieved, slightly runs with another Colonel courtyard, holds two altar/jar Green Ant Wine quickly. 马蒺藜如释重负,和另外一名校尉一起小跑出院子,很快抱来两坛绿蚁酒。 The afraid horse puncture vine does not dare to treat, wants to hurry to slip away, Tiger Head City Colonel Chu Hanqing of that bearing scholarly hesitant, looks to Xu Fengnian, asked: „Prince, humble officer cannot drink tonight, does not know that next time can drink to be when where, whether with the spatial bowl, to respect Prince?” 心虚的马蒺藜不敢多待,就想赶紧溜之大吉,那名气度儒雅的虎头城校尉褚汗青犹豫了一下,望向徐凤年,问道:“王爷,卑职今夜不能喝酒,也不知下次能喝酒会是何时何地,可否以空碗,敬王爷一回？” Xu Fengnian nods. 徐凤年点了点头。 The soldier bamboo writing slips carry that only empty liquor bowl high, Xu Fengnian stand up in the bowl Green Ant Wine toss down. 褚汗青高高端起那只空荡荡的酒碗,徐凤年则站起身将碗中绿蚁酒一饮而尽。 The horse puncture vine asked disturbedly: „Prince, or does humble officer also respect your?” 马蒺藜忐忑问道:“王爷,要不卑职也敬你一回？” Xu Fengnian drank one bowl with a smile. 徐凤年又笑着喝了一碗。 After Xu Fengnian sits the stone stool, looks on these faces to lead the sincere happy expression border pass high-ranking military officer, asked: „Liu General, what need Tiger Head City also has? Although opens the mouth.” 徐凤年坐回石凳后,看着那些脸上都带着真诚笑意的边关将校,问道:“刘将军,虎头城还有什么需要的吗？尽管开口。” Liu Jinu holds the bowl, a hand put lamely in that on leg, shook the head to say with a smile: „Did not have.” 刘寄奴一手捧碗,一只手搁在那条瘸了的腿上,笑着摇头道:“没有了。” Xu Fengnian has not said anything, accompanying these is 40-year- old Beiliang veteran to drink together silently. 徐凤年也没有多说什么,陪着这些都已40多岁的北凉老将一起默默喝酒。 Liu Jinu in finally, only spoke a few words, „, since Prince sat here, then there is to think did not have the method saying that can say, Tiger Head City more than 40,000 people, today when has drunk the Prince seeing off liquor, although died not regrets.” 刘寄奴在最后,只说了一句话,“既然王爷坐在了这里,那么有句本来以为没法子说出口的话,就能说了,虎头城四万余人,今天就当都喝过了王爷的送行酒,虽死无憾。”
