"Ho!" Ali Hague shouted in his mouth, and the iron long knife in his hand flew up and down, and the light of the knife turned into a ball of light on his body, so that the eyes of the soldiers standing far away on the side did not dare to look directly. I've been like this for most of the day, as if I don't know how tired, my naked upper body, my black hard muscles bulge, and my hair is flying and swaying up and down, like a demon god descending to earth.

This is the original county government of Macheng County, the magistrate of the Song people has long run away with the army, and it has not been a few days since the arrival of the Yuan people, and they have not considered appointing a new magistrate at all. What's more, all the people in the county town can run away, and the rest are just some old and weak, and there is no need for a chief official to come here.

The soldiers stood helplessly and watched quietly, knowing his temper, which would be venting their anger, and no one applauded. His kind of dancing, in fact, there is no discipline, all of them are improvised, from a distance, it is still quite bluffing, when Zhang Hongfan, who had just entered the city, and Li Ting, the guard of the city, came together, they both showed a trace of surprise.

"Good!" The knife flickered, and then it slashed out of his hand vigorously, and slashed at a water and fire stick standing on the sidelines, and the wrist-thick stick broke in response. Seeing this, Zhang and Li shouted hello together, but they did not get the response of the pro-soldiers on the sidelines, which made the two a little embarrassed, and the pro-soldiers also looked at the two uninvited guests with some dissatisfaction, as if they were blaming them for their own affairs.

Disturbed by this, Ali Hague stopped his movements, casually threw the knife to the nearest soldier, took a cotton scarf, stretched out his hand to greet the two of them, and walked to the shade of the trees in the courtyard while wiping the sweat on his body. All kinds of tea had been set up there, and the soldiers brought a few stone benches to give them a place to talk, and then dispersed.

"I haven't moved it for a long time, and this strength is far less than before, so I made the two of you laugh." Ali Hague sat down bare, his black chest hair was long and dense, and the whole person was like a bear, ordinary people would be a little afraid when they saw it, but in fact, they knew that this was a person who seemed rough on the outside but was very thin on the inside, and people who didn't understand it were very easy to be deceived by his appearance.

"Pingzhang seems to be a little annoyed, has the war changed?" Zhang Hongfan sat down at his bottom and asked. He had just rushed over from Ezhou, and brought some grain and grass by the way, thinking that the army should break into Dabie Mountain, but he never thought that he would see Ali Hague in Macheng County, and after observing his expression, Zhang Hongfan roughly came to this conclusion.

"You ask him." Ali Hague did not answer directly, stretched out his hand and pointed to Li Ting, who was still standing aside, Zhang Hongfan had never seen him like this, not only was he a little surprised~ turned to Li Ting, who came with him.

Li Ting smiled bitterly and recounted the process of the war, he was also very depressed, who knew that it was a coincidence that when he almost wiped out the defenders on the top of the city, the reinforcements of the Song people happened to arrive. That's not all, the original Xia Gui's subordinates who were about to collapse at the touch of a button didn't know why they all fought like chicken blood, and they came up with a life-for-life style of play, and their part had just fought a bloody battle, where could they resist it, and they had to give up the results in hand and withdraw from the pass.

"Xia Gui? He poured out of the nest, and he was so brave, why is that. Zhang Hongfan was even more confused when he heard it, of course he knew that his people had been stationed in Xia Gui's place, although it was not clear that he would come over, but the two sides also roughly maintained a state of no war and no peace, looking at the current situation, there must have been some kind of change in this, he couldn't help but look at Ali Hague.

"It's not Xia Gui who came, and the word "Li" is on the banner. But all of his subordinates are Xia Gui's subordinates, which will not be wrong, he has fought with them several times, and he can see it at a glance. Strangely, these foot soldiers were all draped in white cloths, as if they were wearing filial piety for someone. Li Ting added.

"Don't guess, Xia Gui is dead, their banner is to avenge him, it's Li Tingzhi who came, I'm afraid that these people won't be all." Ali Hague suddenly interjected and said, he was indeed very depressed, so he vented, because he suddenly found that with Xia Gui's death, all the efforts he had put into him over the years had been in vain, and besides, his old subordinates had become mortal enemies with the Yuan people, what was going on?

The Mr. Yi who was in the city had not heard from him for many days, and the last news came last time was that the Song court wanted to change the commander, which was the reason why he led the army to attack. Although it seems that he is really fighting, in fact, he has reservations, not only to fight for a few days and rest for a few days, but also to not even prepare siege equipment, in order to maintain a kind of pressure and help Xia Gui deal with the court from the outside, who knows?

It is precisely because of this that the dilapidated pass on the side of the mountain was defended for so many days before it was breached, and his original intention was to stop after it was captured, and he had no plan to enter Huaixi at all. Now it all seems to be a joke, and he has lost so many foot soldiers, how can he not be upset.

He actually didn't blame Li Ting, this kind of battle was not easy to master, so in order to prevent him from holding back, he didn't tell him through in advance, which caused the current result. But what he was most upset about was not those losses, but what happened to the bottom of Luzhou City? Mr. Yi will assassinate Xia Gui, he never believes that if he wants Xia Gui to die, he can do it at the beginning of the year during the Battle of Ezhou, so why bother doing it now.

Puzzled, guessed, and doubted, these negative feelings struck together, which made Ali Hague, who had always been calm, have today's move, listening to his words, Zhang Hongfan thought about the information about Li Tingzhi in his mind, this is really an old opponent, is he in Huaixi now?

"This is the news that was recently delivered, from Jiankang City, Li Tingzhi has been transferred there by the Song people, and now he is in full charge of the affairs along the river, and it is estimated that he can still control the two Huai, otherwise there is no way to explain why he appeared here." Ali Hague handed a small scroll of paper to Zhang Hongfan, who took it and looked at it, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"It's not easy to do, this person is not Xia Gui and others, he has always regarded himself as loyal, but I'm afraid that it can't be moved by Qian Bao's official position." Zhang Hongfan shook his head, this person is a civil official, and now he can be called a high and powerful position, Hugh said that the Yuan people can't afford to give enough chips at all, even if they give it, people may not be able to look at it.

"Not only that, your clan brother is forcing the border of Qizhou, where he has already come to report the emergency, there are tens of thousands of people, all old soldiers, what a big battle. I regret that I shouldn't have let him go when I was in Ezhou, and I knew that today, I would have to leave him behind. Ali Hague said words of regret in his mouth, but his expression was not very strict, these people are almost all the capital of the Song people now, if possible, he doesn't mind fighting with them.

"Zhong Chou, now this battle can't be fought, the Song people are in full swing, but it's hard to say how big their appetite is, and whether they will catch up." Ali Hague looked at the endless mountains outside the city, the tall mountains were erected in front like a barrier, and the people were not on his side, and he already had the intention of retreating.

"If that's the case, this Macheng County is too close to that pass, and it is not good for us to stay here, so we can only lose it to the Song people, let's go back to the front line of Yangluo Fort, I expect that the Song people will not touch it, if they really dare to attack the city, we will teach them another lesson there."

Ali Hague nodded, this coincided with his expectations, if the army was stationed here, the supply line was too long, if it wasn't for the Song people not having many cavalry, he would have to worry about whether the supply line would be cut off. However, the land of a county, if it is abandoned, it will be abandoned, and attacking the mountains there from here is something he has never considered.

"That's your guy, what's wrong, let him come and say." While speaking, Ali Hague suddenly saw a person who looked like a foot soldier being blocked out by his own soldiers, pointed over there and asked Li Ting, turned his back to Li Ting over there and saw that it was his own men, so he nodded.

"What? Let's go, let's see. Hearing the report of the visitor, Ali Hague and the other three were all surprised, the Song people moved so fast, they had just occupied the pass, and they were in a hurry to come out. Several of them stood up, waited for Ali Hague to put on a simple dress, and walked to the door of the county government together.

Under a huge square tooth-edged handsome flag, Li Tingzhi stopped on a tall horse and raised the telescope in his hand, looking at Macheng County in the distance. In his lens, the Tartars don't seem to be ready to defend the city at all, some are running around in a panic, and the archers are standing at the head of the city, but the most common things in the Song people are not there, these Tartars seem to be determined that they dare not attack the city?

"Wende, that kind of defense, give you an hour, can you take it?" He handed the telescope to his confidant Xu Wende on the side, who raised it and looked at it for a while, and then his face showed a smile, no wonder, when it comes to defending the city, there is really no one in the world who is more proficient than them, and the garrison of this kind of procedure is not difficult at all.

"The handsome man is too underestimated, and the flag can't be planted in the city for half an hour, so he wants to come to see him." Xu Wende patted his chest and assured, hearing his big words, Li Tingzhi did not speak, his eyes swept over several commanders of the Xia Department, and they were red-faced, and the only doubt in his heart disappeared.

"Li Shuai is too partial, he is not talented, and he is limited to half an hour, he can't take the city, and he is willing to engage in military law." A rough roar rang out, and the rest of the group responded.

"That's it, we want to avenge the marshal, but since the army was dispatched, not a single Tartar has been encountered, and finally there is a war, Li Shuai can't favor one over the other." Seeing that the goal was achieved, Li Tingzhi was very satisfied in his heart, but there was no show on his face.

"There are still a lot of Tartars, there is no need to fight, you should immediately take your own troops to unfold, remember to do a good job of defense, be careful of the Tartar cavalry, wait for the orders of the Chinese army, go." Hearing Li Tingzhi's general order, those commanders responded with their fists together, and each turned back, Xu Wende saw that his hope was in vain, he was a little depressed, and couldn't help muttering a few words.

"Wende, don't be anxious, you can't fight, the Tartars are retreating, and they are ready to abandon this city." Li Tingzhi shook his head and said, he had already seen from the mirror, although the city was still on guard, but a little flag was moving behind, if it wasn't for their intention to outflank, they could only retreat, and now Li Tingzhi was not afraid to fight with them at all.

"Shall we chase after us?" Xu Wende was still very depressed in his heart, and he finally sent troops to make a trip, but he didn't have a chance to catch the war.

"Poor Kou Mo chase, here we have the advantage, and further forward is their advantage, alas." Li Tingzhi's sigh was not for nothing, he suddenly remembered Liu Yu's adventurous plan, if it had been implemented at that time, now the army has advanced to the front line of Ezhou, where there are many fortresses, and it has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack, where is it like here.

Ali Hague, who was still standing at the head of the city, did not leave first, his people were retreating through the back door of Guò one after another, this city had no value of guarding at all, he didn't want to be dragged here, there were more and more Song people in front of him, it was indeed a posture of pouring out of the nest, and now his top priority was to find out what was happening at the bottom.

"Pingzhang, you set off with the Chinese army, and someone will break off." Li Ting's voice sounded beside him, he didn't refuse, the Song people didn't have the ability to pursue, and there was not much danger after the break, but the moment he was about to turn around, something under the city caught his eye, it was a long bamboo pole, with a human head on it, although the face was not very clear, but he was sure that it must be Mr. Yi's.
