The national teacher of the Great Xia Kingdom is also surnamed Li, which is the surname of the country, his name is Li Wantong, he is a Taoist priest, he is good at refining pills, and he is dedicated to studying the art of immortality. I heard that the ancestors of the original Jianghu sect in the Great Song Kingdom had relied on pills to help break through the sky and ascend, so I studied alchemy all day long. The emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom also wanted to seek immortality, so he invited Li Wantong into the palace and made him a national teacher.

After Li Wantong became a national teacher, he helped the emperor refine various pills every day, mostly some drugs for health and yang, because there were too many concubines in the emperor's harem, and the emperor's body was a little unbearable. Occasionally, he would refine the elixir he had prepared for his research on the art of immortality and give it to the emperor to take, so that he could test the medicine.

Of course, the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom didn't know that he had unknowingly become the person who helped Li Wantong test the medicine, and he thought that Li Wantong was wholeheartedly for his good, and the elixir of life that he had researched was also given priority to him. So he values Li Wantong very much.

This time, the eldest prince Li Daocheng sent a letter asking for help, and the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom thought of Li Wantong. Because this Li Wantong not only can only do alchemy, his swordsmanship is also very powerful, and he can also use some Taoist spells, such as fishing copper coins from hot oil pots with his bare hands, drawing talismans to catch ghosts, and so on. According to Li Wantong himself, the martial arts he practiced were exercises that could be cultivated to become immortals, which were different from ordinary martial arts.

Therefore, in the eyes of the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, Li Wantong is a living immortal-like figure, which is omnipotent. With such a capable person to help his son, the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom was naturally a hundred times more relieved.

Li Daocheng and these soldiers on the front line naturally also knew the skills of the national teacher Li Wantong, and when they heard that he had brought troops to support, they were naturally all very happy.

They were immersed in joy, but they didn't know that Dingbian City was preparing to burn Tuhe Town tonight.

Fei Wen felt that it was a good opportunity to make meritorious service by burning Hu people's grain and grass, and this credit must not be given to others, and he must go in person. But at the same time, he was afraid of death, so he decided to take 10,000 elite soldiers with him.

He didn't know how many soldiers and horses were guarding the military rations in Tuhe Town, and it was safer to bring more soldiers than less.

The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire.

A small day of preparation during the day. At night, after it was completely dark, Fei Wen personally led his troops to carry dry firewood, sulfur and other fire-starting things, secretly opened the city gate and slipped out of Dingbian City.

Before leaving, he still instructed Huang Wenlong and Yang County Ling to guard the border city and let them wait for his good news in the city.

After Fei Wen left, Xiao Ding found Huang Wenlong and said, "Lord Huang, I feel that Lord Fei's arrangement is a little inappropriate. ”

"What's wrong?" Huang Wenlong looked at Xiao Ding and asked.

"I think that Lord Fei brought so many soldiers and horses to burn military rations, the target is too big, and it is easy to be discovered by the enemy in advance, and if the Hu battalion sends troops to rescue after knowing the news, Lord Fei's 10,000 soldiers may not be able to come back." Xiao Ding said.

When Huang Wenlong heard Xiao Ding say this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Fei Wen didn't care very much about whether he was alive or dead, what he cared about was the 10,000 soldiers and horses! Originally, there was a shortage of major generals on his side, and if he lost another 10,000 soldiers and horses, it would be like cutting meat in his heart!

"So what should we do?" Huang Wenlong saw that since Xiao Ding was able to analyze this step, he would definitely have a remedy.

"I suggest that Lord Huang immediately send two more teams of soldiers and horses, one team of soldiers and horses to Tuhe, pick up Lord Fei, and help him complete the task of burning military rations. Another group of soldiers and horses was ambushed in the middle of the road, used to intercept and kill the Hu soldiers and horses who went to the rescue of Tuhe Town. Xiao Ding said calmly.

"Okay, just do as you say." Huang Wenlong nodded in agreement.

So, Huang Wenlong sent Xiao Ding to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to Tuhe Town to support Fei Wen, and sent another commander with 5,000 soldiers to ambush in the middle of the road to intercept and kill the rescue team.

Xiao Ding and the other ones were ordered to go down and transfer troops. Then the two teams also quietly left Dingbian City.

Xiao Ding led 2,000 soldiers straight to the direction of Tuhe Town. When I was about to arrive at Tuhe Town, I heard the shouting and killing sound coming from the direction of Tuhe Town.

didn't see the fire ignited, Xiao Ding guessed that Fei Wen must have been discovered by Hu Ren in advance.

As Xiao Ding expected, Fei Wen led 10,000 soldiers to Tuhe Town, but was discovered by the other party's sentry as soon as he arrived in Tuhe Town. The Hu people also had 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Tuhe Town. The leader of the team was a general named Hua Lishao. When he saw that someone had come to collect the grain and grass, he gave the order to attack and swear to defend the grain and grass to the death.

Fei Wen saw that he had been discovered, so he couldn't secretly burn grain and grass, so he had to wave the spear in his hand and order to rush and kill.

However, Tuhe Town also has a low wall, and the Hu people stand behind the low wall with bows and arrows, and the Xiang army team cannot get close at all. Fei Wen had no choice but to order the arrows to be released.

The two of them shot at each other outside the walls of Tuhe Town. Fortunately, there were shield-bearers among the soldiers brought by Faven, who could resist the enemy's bows and arrows, otherwise the losses would have been severe.

After a stalemate between the two sides for a while, Favin gave the order to let the shield-bearer take cover in front and slowly move forward. Little by little approaching the low wall.

Just when the Xiang army was about to approach the low wall, the Hu cavalry suddenly rushed out from behind the low wall and rushed directly into the team of the Xiang army, rampage, very fierce.

The infantry of the Xiang army could not resist the rush of the cavalry, and dispersed one after another, and the number of casualties suddenly increased.

Fei Wen was in the team of the Xiang Army, and he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said in his heart that this Hu man was too strong, and he was hard to break in when he rode a horse! Everywhere the Hu people went, there were all the sounds of wailing.

This reminded him of the scene of the last big defeat, and he now regretted it in his heart, regretting that he should not have come to the danger himself. Looking at the killing in front of him, he felt a little timid in his heart, and he had the heart to run away again.

Just when he wanted to escape, he heard a shout of killing behind him, and he hurriedly turned around, only to see a team of men and horses killing Hu Ren.

He knew that someone had come to his aid, so he was so refreshed that he didn't want to run away. With a wave of the spear in his hand, he shouted: "Charge, tonight will burn the enemy's grain and grass." ”

With the support army brought by Xiao Ding, the morale of the Xiang army was greatly boosted, and they also began to fight back against the Hu people. Xiao Ding took the lead, holding the spear in his hand and running directly towards the enemy's main general, Hua Lishao.

When he came to Hua Lishao, he didn't talk to him, but took out a beaded crossbow and shot several crossbow arrows at his face.

At short distances, the bolt was incredibly fast. It's night again, and although there is snow, it won't be very clear. Hua Lishao didn't expect the other party's generals to come and sneak attack him, and before he could react, he was hit by two or three crossbow arrows in his face and neck.

Aren't generals reporting their names to each other before fighting? Why doesn't this guy play his cards according to common sense? What weapon did he use to sneak up on me?

Hua Lishao didn't know how he died.

As soon as the Hu people's main general died, the soldiers lost their backbone, and then they were in chaos, with no one to command, and they were defeated and retreated by the van army.

Xiao Ding took the opportunity to order: "Go and set fire to the granary, otherwise it will be too late for the Hu reinforcements to arrive in a while!" ”

The soldiers stepped forward one after another, threw all the dry firewood and sulfur prepared in advance around the granary, and then set it on fire with rockets.

A fire broke out.

After all the granaries and haystacks were set on fire, Xiao Ding waved the spear in his hand and said, "Retreat!" ”

At this time, Fei Wen saw clearly that it was Xiao Ding who came to answer him.

"Tian Dutong, why are you here?" Fei Wen came to Xiao Ding and asked.

"I came to meet Lord Fei on the order of Lord Huang." Xiao Ding didn't want to take care of this straw bag of two hundred and five, but he was still his boss after all.

"Oh, it's still Lord Huang who is more thoughtful than I thought!" Fei Wen said curtly.

"Lord Fei, the grain and grass have been ignited, let's retreat. After a while, the reinforcements of the Hu people will be in trouble! ”

"Reinforcements? Will they send reinforcements? Fei Wen exclaimed, he didn't even think of this, if he was intercepted by the enemy's reinforcements, how could he still run. couldn't help but soaking the clothes on his body with cold sweat.
