Ruisheng City is a branch fort rebuilt on the basis of Ruisheng Garden, the palace of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is still a distance between Jingyang Gate, the north gate of Kaifeng Mansion. After leaving Jingyang Gate, there are two routes to Ruisheng City, one is to go east along the inner side of the moat, reach Ruisheng City by the back of the outer city of Kaifeng Mansion, and then erect a pontoon bridge to cross the moat, and then walk about three miles to enter Ruisheng City.

The advantage of taking this route is that it is relatively safe, the enemy has to go around the back of Ruisheng City to attack, and if they want to do this, they will easily be attacked by the defenders in Ruisheng City, which is very dangerous. Moreover, a trench was dug between Ruisheng City and the moat of Kaifeng Mansion to cover the connection between Ruisheng City and Kaifeng Prefecture. The disadvantages are the detour and the need to temporarily assume a pontoon bridge - the moat of Kaifeng Mansion is too wide to use a suspension bridge, and building a stone bridge behind Ruisheng City is not conducive to the defense of the outer city of Kaifeng Mansion. Therefore, taking this route into Ruisheng City is time-consuming and laborious, and it is very inconvenient.

The other route is to cross the moat directly after leaving Jingyang Gate (the original stone bridge on the moat outside Jingyang Gate, and later demolished a section and built a suspension bridge, and the bridge can be pulled up when the enemy hits), and then go along the official road leading to Ruisheng City and arrive at the west gate of Ruisheng City.

The advantage of taking this route is that the road is close and easy to walk, and it is six or seven miles horizontally and vertically, and it doesn't take half an hour to go fast, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to be attacked by the golden thief cavalry on the way to Ruisheng City. However, the Song army also had a remedy, digging two trenches and building two wooden fences on both sides of the road between the west gate of Ruisheng City and the Jingyang Gate of Kaifeng Mansion.

Of course, these two trenches are not too wide, and the two wooden fences are not too strong, and the gold thief's brigade really wants to fight, that is, to resist a little.

Therefore, when Jin Wushu led more than 10,000 Jin State cavalry to hula, and suddenly went around from the front of Ruisheng City to the left side of the road between Jingyang Gate and Ruisheng City, which was covered by trenches and wooden fences, Liu Yanqing and Yuwen Xuzhong were both stunned......

How can there be so many gold thieves! It's not that it's just a few hundred...... No, when Ruisheng City reported it, it said that there were tens of thousands, but this time there are really them!

Which bastard is on duty in Rui Holy City today? How can you tell the truth? I knew that there were really 10,000 riders, so I didn't come.

"Hurry up, protect the official and retreat to Jingyang Gate to defend ......"

It was Yuwen Xuzhong, a good boy who was called outside the Donghua Gate, who reacted relatively quickly, and before the gold thief rushed to within three hundred steps, he had already decisively given the order to retreat.

However, no one shouted "Order" behind him, only the sound of noisy horses' hooves and footsteps. Yuwen looked back in vain, only to find that Liu Yanqing had already spread his feet and started to run away with the "long-legged soldiers" under his hands! The flags and long-handled weapons were thrown to the ground, the fast runners and the slow runners collided together, and the shouts and cries also rose, and the commotion was really embarrassing!

"How dare you wait......" Yuwen was so angry that he couldn't say anything, although he also wanted to escape, but he was a civil official, and it was right for a civil official to escape, Liu Yanqing was a military general, and if he wanted to run, he had to wait for his own order! And you have to protect yourself and run first! Where can you just run for your life? Hmph, after the official returns to the city, he must join you in front of the official family to see Liu Yanqing!

Thinking of this, Yuwen Xuzhong shouted: "Don't run away with Taiwei Liu, wait for this official!" ”

Yu Wenxuzhong shouted while hurriedly beating his horse and turning around, and fled along the road between the fence and the ditch in the direction of Jingyangmen.

Seeing that the Song army had run away, the Golden Vulture who came with more than 10,000 Jin soldiers was also anxious!

What is this called? Why is it so difficult to send a "deceitful and envoy" into the city? There are thousands of arrows fired at the same time in Ruisheng City, and eight bull crossbows were also brought out to shoot! I finally waited until Kaifeng Mansion sent someone out, why did I run away as soon as we met? You still have fences and ditches to protect you, and you look quite safe, so do you need to run in such a hurry? And if we don't beat you, we'll scare you......

"Chase! Chase after it, don't let the Song people run away! Jin Wushu hurriedly ordered a pursuit, led more than 10,000 cavalry under his command, and pursued fiercely along the fence and trench.

The Jin soldiers didn't chase too far, and the Song army, which was running in front, suddenly stopped, and then the scolding, shouting, and crying started to rise.

It turned out that the Song army led by Liu Yanqing and Yuwen Xuzhong couldn't escape, and the Song army guarding Jingyang Gate saw the Jin soldiers killing them, and they were so frightened that they put away the suspension bridge on the moat. This time, Liu Yanqing, Yuwen Xuzhong, and the 5,000 defeated soldiers who lost their armor and unloaded their armor with them out of the city were miserable...... They've got to swim across the moat!

So when Yuwen Xuzhong finally caught up with Liu Yanqing, the Great Song Dynasty guards and the pro-army Ma Jun commanded Liu Yanqing to unload his armor with the help of his own soldiers, and he had to take off dozens of pounds of armor before he could swim in the water!

Yuwen Xuzhong can't swim, and he doesn't know that swimming can't wear dozens of pounds of iron armor - this is a physics problem, and the imperial examination of the Song Dynasty does not test this, so he asked loudly: "Why did the captain remove his armor?" Do you want to go shirtless? ”

Liu Yanqing also saw Yuwen in the void at this time, he was running too quickly just now, and he actually looked at a scholar of the Guanwen Palace who supervised the army and was with him! It's good that I didn't lose him, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to explain it when I returned to the city.

So he hurriedly said to Yuwen Xuzhong with a flattering face: "The gold thief is near, the suspension bridge is broken, and the only way to survive is to swim across the river, and the bachelor will quickly widen his clothes, and then go into the water at the end!" ”

What the? Yuwen's head buzzed, and he almost fell off the horse in shock. In this situation, shouldn't we fight against the odds and survive in the dead? How can you swim across the river...... Don't you Liu Yanqing know that this official is a scholar and can't swim?

Seeing that Yuwen Xuzhong still didn't take off his clothes, Liu Yanqing was also a little anxious, "Why doesn't the bachelor have loose clothes?" Do you want to be loyal to your country? ”

Loyal to the country? Okay, you Liu Yanqing, you escaped like flying, you want this official to be loyal to the country, and this official will never let you go!

Thinking of this, Yuwen rode forward with a black face, and when he reached Liu Yanqing's side, he was about to turn over and dismount. Liu Yanqing thought he wanted to open, so he hurriedly went up to help, and while helping Yuwen Xuzhong off the horse, he said flatteringly: "Bachelor, hurry up and loosen your clothes, and drink some wine to warm up, the water is too cold......"

As soon as Liu Yanqing said "the water is too cold", Yuwen Xuzhong took out the sword and put it on his neck, this time it is not that the water is cold, but that the neck is cold.

"Woo...... Bachelor of Letters, what are you doing? How did you put your sword on the neck of the last general? ”

Yu Wenxu said with a dark face: "Captain Liu, have you forgotten that this official is a prison army?" If you run away from the battle, you deserve death, so why can't this official kill you? ”

"Kill, kill...... I? Liu Yanqing had already felt the murderous aura of this Yuwen Bachelor, and immediately panicked, "Study, bachelor, the gold thief is powerful!" ”

"Is the official's sword big, or the gold thief's blade?" As soon as Yuwen Xuzhong used force in his hand, the blade of the sword pressed on Liu Yanqing's neck, his sword was sharpened, but it was sharp, and Liu Yanqing's neck was broken under the pressure.

Now Liu Yanqing was really anxious, "The sword of the bachelor is big, it is the sword of the bachelor ......"

Yuwen roared in a void: "Then don't immediately assemble the army to face the battle!" ”

"Okay, the last general will immediately assemble an army to meet the battle...... Brothers, resist us and fight with the gold thief! ”
