After two nights of heavy rain, it finally cleared up that morning.

Xiao Ding was having breakfast with other generals in the county hall when he heard a guard come to report that there were enemy troops outside the city who came to fight.

The people who were eating in the house were all shocked when they heard this. The king of Jiaozhou actually took the initiative to send troops?

Xiao Ding hurriedly put down the chopsticks, led the generals out of the hall, came to the city, looked down, only to see the other party waving flags, war drums rumbling, a member of the war generals in the middle, with a strong figure, riding a black horse, wearing foreign clothes, seemingly made of fur, bare the entire shoulder and arm on the right, with a peacock tail on his head, a beard on his face, and colored paint. Holding a pair of eight-edged purple gold hammers in his hands.

Beside the general, there were five or six generals who were dressed similarly to him, each holding a sword and looking at the head of Qingde County.

Looking at the back of these generals, there were several rows of infantry standing in front, dressed similarly to those generals, but they were wearing rattan armor on their bodies and holding Teng Dun more than one person tall in their hands.

Behind the infantry, there are rows of door flags, blocking the soldiers behind them, and you can't see what the soldiers behind the door flags really look like.

Xiao Ding just looked at the area of those teams, and made a rough estimate, and estimated that the opponent's soldiers and horses should have as many as fifty or sixty thousand people in total.

Looking at the outfits and equipment of these generals and soldiers, Xiao Ding knew that they were not the army of the Great Song Kingdom. After thinking about it for a while, I knew that it must be a reinforcement sent by the Dali Kingdom or the Great Southern Barbarian State.

They had come to fight so early this day, and it seemed that they had already come out of the city in the rain last night, and the scouts on their side had not found out. Looks like the scout must have been lazy because of the rain.

However, now is not the time to hold the scouts accountable, and the question now is who to send out of the city to meet these brute generals.

When the other party fights, their own side must go out to fight, and not only must they fight, but they must also win, otherwise they will weaken their morale and affect the battle later.

Xiao Ding looked at the generals on both sides of him and asked, "Who wants to take the troops out to meet those barbarian generals?" ”

"The last will go!"

"The last will go!"

"The last will go!"

“……”

Although they only ate half of their breakfast, the generals were still eager to try and asked for orders to fight.

Xiao Ding was thinking about who would be more appropriate to send out, when he heard a soft voice on the side and said: "Deputy Marshal Tian, I look at this for a while, so I will lead the troops out to meet the battle!" ”

Xiao Ding followed the sound and looked, only to see Gao Xuan, shaking his fan, walking towards him, and he was still followed by the four or five followers, one by one, pretending to be very majestic.

In Xiao Ding's heart, he actually looks down on Gao Jiannei, a gentleman who likes to put on a stinky shelf. However, Gao Jinnei is also one of the deputy marshals of the emperor's seal, with the same position as Xiao Ding, since he proposed to lead troops out to meet the battle, Xiao Ding is not good to say anything.

So, Xiao Ding reminded him: "It turned out to be Deputy Marshal Gao, do you know that the front of the two armies is not a child's play, if you go to the front of the battle in person, if you fall into any danger, don't blame me for not reminding you!" ”

Gao Quannei heard that Xiao Ding had the intention of persuading him not to go, and said in his heart, you don't want me to make meritorious contributions! So he smiled and said: "Gao is a deputy marshal, for the country and the people, and is willing to take risks, this is also my duty, and Deputy Marshal Tian doesn't have to worry." ”

Xiao Ding saw that Gao was determined to go, and he didn't persuade him much, but still reminded him: "This battle is very important, you can only win, you can't lose, if Deputy Marshal Gao wants to go out of the city to direct the battle in person, you must not lose this battle." ”

Gao Jinnei said nonchalantly: "It's just some barbarian generals, don't be afraid, I only need to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses, select a few generals, go out of the city to face the battle, and I will be able to win!" ”

"Okay, since Vice Marshal Gao is so confident, then, all the generals of our army are here, and you can choose your own generals to go out of the city with you to fight." Xiao Ding pointed to the generals standing on both sides, and let Gao Jinnei choose by himself.

When all the generals heard Xiao Ding's words, they all took a few steps back, and they were not willing to let Gao Jinnei command the battle.

Gao Jinnei was full of confidence and was not polite, he came directly to the generals, and selected the two brothers Han Qi and Han Qi in person, the two brothers Yue Yunfeng and Yue Yunyu, Luo Sikou and Gao Hongxiu went out of the city with him.

The three sisters and brothers of the Yang family were left, and Lu Changping and Di Wanjun assisted Xiao Ding to defend the city.

Those barbarian soldiers and barbarian generals outside the city were indeed the support army from the Great Southern Barbarian Kingdom.

When they arrived in Jiaozhou, it was just in time for the rain. Song Yuanyan, the king of Jiaozhou, personally brought the troops sent by the Dali State and the Great Southern Barbarian State into the city and settled down.

The commander of the army sent by Dali was named Duan Beishan, and he was accompanied by two military generals, Duan Xiu and Duan Yao, both of whom were collateral of the Duan clan in Dali.

The commander of the army sent by the Great Southern Barbarian State was named Vultura, and there were several generals who came with him, namely Arando, Busy Tuna, Tonghuan Sijie, Danahui, and Gu Siduo.

After entering Jiaozhou, he talked with Song Yuanyan, and when he heard that Song Yuanyan had suffered defeats one after another, he immediately took the case and shouted: "Where is the person surnamed Tian now?" Let me lead the soldiers to meet him, I want to see how capable he is! ”

As soon as Song Yuanyan heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately told Wutuya Xiaoding's troops that they were now stationed in Qingde County, not far from Jiaozhou City.

This vulture was an impatient, and that night he led his troops to the outside of Qingde County in the rain and set up camp.

As soon as the morning dawned, he impatiently urged the soldiers to eat early, and then sent his troops to the city to fight.

At this time, he led the other generals who came with him to the front of the battle, a total of 70,000 troops, and he left only 10,000 soldiers to guard the camp.

Sent people to the city to beg for a long time, only then did they hear three cannons above the city, and then the gate of Qingde County opened, and there were troops out of the city.

Seeing that the other party had finally gone out of the city to fight, Vulture Tooth calmed down a little, and then asked loudly: "Brothers, who wants to fight this first battle?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the barbarian general next to him, Arando, shouted: "The last general is willing to go!" ”

"Okay, if you win this battle, the first credit will be yours." The vulture said loudly.

"The last will be ordered!" After speaking, Arando urged the horse forward and came to the center of the battlefield.

Gao Jiannei took 20,000 soldiers and several generals out of the city to meet the battle, and after the formation was opened, he saw that the other party came out with a fierce general, showing off his might in the middle of the battlefield, so he asked the generals around him in a sharp voice: "Who wants to meet that barbarian general?" ”

However, all the generals who usually rushed to be the first were silent at this time, and they all rode on their horses and looked ahead, silent.

Gao Jinnei asked several times one after another, but everyone still regarded him as nothing, and no one took his stubble at all.

Gao Xuannei had no choice, so he had to name him and said: "Luo Sikou, you go to meet that barbarian general!" ”

Although Luo Sikou was unwilling to obey Gao Jiannei's command, Gao Jiannei was also the deputy marshal of the emperor's seal after all, so he had to urge the horse to come to the front of the formation.

At this time, Xiao Ding, who was standing at the head of the city, saw Luo Sikou go out to fight, but he thought to himself, I don't know what the martial arts of that barbarian general are, can Luo Sikou beat him?
