In the second year of Jingping, June 17, northwest, cloudy.

The city of Yanzhou is old, the dignified and thick city wall looks quiet and solemn under the not bright sky, and on the official roads on all sides of the city, the soldiers of Western Xia escort carts back and forth. In addition, there are no idle homeless people on the road, all the "chaotic people" have been arrested to harvest wheat at this time, and good people are not allowed to walk out on official roads in various places and places. If anyone is found outside, they will either be arrested or killed on the spot.

The wheat fields around the city have basically been harvested to eighty percent. Theoretically, the wheat was at its most ripe and full when it was harvested in the next few days, but the Tangut people had just occupied the area, so they chose to start work a few days earlier. During the ten days from the seventh to the seventeenth day of the sixth month, bleak or tragic things happened in this land from time to time, but the loose resistance did not have much meaning in front of the formed army, only a lot of blood flowed, which became the material for the Tangut people to kill chickens and monkeys.

By the time of the two days, the initial revolt had become numb, and the bodies of the slain had fallen on the ridges of the fields and beside the roads, and under the scorching sun and rain, they had gradually rotted and exposed their bones, and the civilians who had been driven to cut wheat continued to work in this stench.

Wheat fields, villages, roads, and water veins stretched out from the center of Yanju City, and by about thirty miles to the east, they had already entered the range of mountains. In order to hold the mountain pass on this side, and at the same time intercept the displaced people and supervise the collection of grain, the Western Xia general Ji Lai Sele arranged a total of two teams with a total of more than 800 people here, which can be regarded as a large garrison point.

In the morning, General Kui Hong ordered a group of soldiers under his command to drive hundreds of civilians to the nearby fields for the final harvest. Large swathes of wheat have been harvested, and the rest is estimated to be just over a day's work. But seeing that the sky was overcast and he didn't know if it would rain, he ordered his soldiers to intensify the supervision of the civilians who were cutting the wheat, and this strengthening was naturally more vigorous whipping and scolding.

Under this gloomy sky, the sound of whipping and invective was mixed with the cries and cries of the people. Objectively, it also accelerated the efficiency of the work, and for a while, there was indeed a feeling of being in full swing. Kuihong is still quite satisfied with this.

The general in charge of the surrounding defense is named Mengsheng Branch, he is a relatively strict general, and since he has been stationed here, he has never stopped patrolling every day. By morning, he had made a routine check of the nearby sentry, and he had four hundred men under him. Two hundred of them were stationed in Zhuangzi, where the official road passed, and the other two centuriens patrolled the nearby road for about five miles every day.

Of course, since the beginning of this year, until the current half a year, the neighborhood has not been affected too much. The Wu Dynasty declined, the family army fell, and the Western Xia became friendly with the Jin State, and the rule of the northwest was the destiny of heaven. No one can do it. Even if there was still a threat of the Fold Army, the Tanguts had already sent many scouts to keep an eye on them. At this time, the surrounding wheat fields have been harvested, and the Zhejia army is just guarding Fuzhou, and they are also busy collecting grain, so they will not come again.

After this routine inspection, Mengshengke returned to Zhuangzi.

As soon as the time arrived, two hundred-man teams that were the vanguard of the Xiaocanghe Black Flag Army appeared on the hillside outside the gravel village.

The horn of warning has just sounded. When Kuihong near the wheat field looked back, the crowd had rushed into the village like a torrent.

***************

The whole army of the Black Flag Army, which came out of the Xiaocang River, set out on the morning of June 16, and that evening, the vanguard of the army marched lightly. Approaching the edge of the mountains, after a night's rest, the first team came to the side of the gravel village in the early morning of the next day.

The front is the first battalion of the second regiment of the Xiaocanghe Army at this time, the regiment commander Pang Liu'an, the battalion commander Xu Lingming, Xu Lingming and below, three companies of more than 100 people, the commander of the first company is Luo Ye who formed the Huayan Society, he has high requirements for himself, and he also has high requirements for the soldiers below, and this time he naturally applied to rush to the forefront.

Mao Yishan and Hou Wu were both in the second company, Qu Qing had experience in commanding the army, and his mind was also flexible, he could have been responsible for leading the second company, and even competed with Xu Lingming for the position of battalion commander, but for some considerations, he was later absorbed into the special regiment, and was also trained as a staff officer. On this expedition, he went out to the mountains to inquire about the news, and his injuries had not healed, but he also forcibly asked to come out, and now he followed the second company to act together.

After getting up, more than 200 people walked briskly for more than an hour under the guidance of Qu Qing, and after arriving near the gravel village, they slowed down their pace and moved forward in hiding.

The team is not a recruit anymore, once received a salary and food, hedged with the Jurchens, felt the humiliation of defeat and the threat of death, was gathered in Xia Village, experienced the quenching of life and death, and regretted the army, and later followed Ning Yi to cause trouble, and there were several battles on the way. However, this time when they came out of the mountains, almost everyone had different feelings, whether it was incitement or brainwashing. In the past six months or so, the feeling of depression has gradually increased from nothingness to nothingness, so that they have long wanted to do something.

A few days ago, everyone in the mountains was no longer allowed to work, but the whole army began to train, and everyone was speculating in their hearts. As for yesterday's expedition, after Qin Shaoqian and Ning Yi's speeches, the people who had guessed that it had been confirmed in their hearts were already trembling with excitement. Then the whole army went out to fight, every mountain, mountain, water, water, and water, and the flame burning in people's hearts never stopped.

Yes, there is no other way, this is the only way out.

If in the previous battle, everyone was still passively responding, instinctively facing the orders given, facing the swords and guns, only this time, most of the people in the entire army have already agreed with this sortie, and even longed for a fight in their hearts. At the same time, they have been in more than half a year, because of efficient cooperation and high-intensity labor, know and identify with the partners around them, everyone, only need to try their best to do their part, the rest, other companions, will naturally do a good job!

In the early morning running, the buzzing sound in the blood was so clear that it seemed to be audible, and Luo Ye, Mao Yishan, Hou Wu and others occasionally stroked the handle of the knife with their hands, thinking about pulling it out. A slight sense of tension and contraction enveloped everything. On the road approaching Gravel Village, Qu Qing had already discussed a plan with Xu Lingming, Luo Ye and others.

"I have a plan." Qu Qing took a simple map in his brisk walk and had already introduced the two entrances and exits of the gravel village. and the location of the watchtower next to the entrance, "We rushed in from both sides, and killed all of them as fast as we could, without stopping or paying attention to any warnings." Well. That's it. ”

He slashed left and right with his hand knife on the map, signaling the route. At this time, there was only the rustle of footsteps around, Xu Lingming turned his head to look at him and blinked, but Qu Qing's eyes were serious, not like he was telling a cold joke - I have a plan, rush in and kill them all. What kind of plan is this-Luo Ye on the other side already nodded with a serious gaze: "Okay, that's it, I'm in charge of the left side." ”

The two teams were separated. Approaching the Gravel Village, scouts in camouflage uniforms walked over to snipe the soldiers on the watchtower, and at the same time as the first arrow was fired, Luo Ye waved his arm off and rushed out of the foothills. On the other side, Mao Yishan and Hou Wu drew their swords, held their shields, and stepped out of the mountain, and their footsteps gradually accelerated and became faster and faster-

Shields, steel knives, and figures rushed down. Outside the village of Gravel Village, there was also a team of Tangut people patrolling at this time. It was a squad of seven. As the arrows flew over their heads and shot into the chests of the soldiers on the watchtower, when they came to their senses, Luo Ye and the others were rushing straight at them with swords and shields. These people turned around and wanted to run, warning in their mouths, Luo Ye and the others had quickly pulled closer. The leader of the Western Xia soldiers turned around and waved their swords to charge, but the shield in Luo Ye's hand carried the momentum and knocked him out fiercely before rolling to the ground. The black shadow pressed over, and it was pulled down with a knife.

Luo Ye stepped over the corpse on the ground, his footsteps did not pause in the slightest, holding the shield and still running quickly, and the seven Western Xia soldiers were like animals caught up in a man-eating ant colony, and they were spread in the blink of an eye. The front of the soldier extended, and some people collected their knives, changed their crossbows, and drew their swords again after firing. In the gravel village, the sound of a warning horn sounded, and two torrents had penetrated into the village, and the viscous blood began to spread wantonly. The Western Xia soldiers rushed over in formation on the road of the village, and the Xiao Canghe soldiers who rushed in collided fiercely, and then were slashed open by the wielding of steel knives and spears.

Luo Ye rushed forward, he threw away the shield in his hand, held the steel knife in both hands, slashed all the way, and led the soldiers around him to kill the courtyard with the Jurchen military flag with red eyes. The young officer was calm and thoughtful on weekdays, and when he arrived at the battle array, he had already exuded all the anger in his body, and several Western Xia soldiers were chased from the fork in the road, stabbing at everyone with guns, Luo Ye stepped directly into the four spears, and without hesitation, he swung a knife, and almost split the hands and chest of the fierce Western Xia soldier who looked in his thirties, and threw him out.

"Don't get in my way—"

Before the roar was finished, the Western Xia soldiers had already been drowned out by a few people around him.

"Whose head is the head of the Sixia dog thief—"

As he walked, he pointed to the Western Xia military flag not far away. There was a group of people around who had the same fanaticism.

"—My !!"

Mengsheng Ke was still withdrawing from the courtyard at this time, surrounded by dozens of soldiers, and more of his subordinates rushed forward from the rear, but the sound of the fight was like a giant beast, devouring human lives all the way and spreading, and he only saw a black flag flashing not far away.

"Who? Who? Hurry up Beacon! Block them! Did the Ori family call—"

Then he saw the young general who was killing the scout on the other side of the road. He shot an arrow with his crossbow, and then led his soldiers to hide behind the house.

Seeing that the guards around Mengsheng Branch had been lined up, Luo Ye took the brothers around him and began to kill to the side, while ordering: "Call more people over!" ”

Seeing this group of people walking around like chopping melons and vegetables, the team under his command was slaughtered when they pounced, and they were a little worried in their hearts. This battle came too fast, and he hadn't figured out the origin of the other party yet, but as a general in the Western Xia Army, he could see the opponent's combat power, the eyes of these people were as fierce as tigers, and they were not ordinary soldiers at all.

On the one hand, the formation does not give the other party a chance, and on the other hand, the guards slowly retreat, so that it is only a dozen breaths, and the other side of the house. Suddenly, someone rushed up, jumped high, and smashed something in his hand into the crowd here. It was a porcelain jar, and there were strips of cloth burning on the mouth of the porcelain jar.

With a bang, flames erupted on the bodies of the three guards!

on the other side of the road. More than a dozen people were assembled, and after the shield array, the spear stabbed out, Mao Yishan bent slightly behind the shield, and exhaled: "Whew...... Ahh

The formation was pushed at a crazy high speed!

The Mengsheng Branch was about to crack, and waved his hand vigorously: "Kill-"

Luo Ye was slashing a squad of Western Xia soldiers to the ground, covered in blood, and when he turned his head again, he saw that the team formed by more than 30 personal guards of the Mengsheng Department was rushed away. He opened his mouth silently: "I...... Rub—"

Then there was a frantic shout: "Rush—"

He took more than a dozen companions and rushed madly towards the side of the Mengsheng Branch! Dozens of relatives and guards here are not easy to match. However, when one side rushed in desperately, and the other side was still killing like a tiger, the entire formation collapsed in an instant, and when Luo Ye shouted: "Don't stop me-" When he killed the more than ten people who rushed to this side, it was obviously the guy of the Western Xia general, who had been poked into a sieve by more than ten people from the second company.

"Brother! Thank you! Hou Wu, as the platoon commander of the second company, wiped the blood on his face, shouted at Luo Ye, and then waved his hand again: "Chong-"

"No thanks!" Luo Ye, whose eyes were red, replied in a rough voice. Watch this group of people rush past in front of you, and then look at the corpse of the Western Xia general on the ground. He spat and looked at his companions around him: "What are you waiting for!" And are there any living Tangut people!? ”

The people who killed half of their bodies were blood-red and slapped their armor with their knives, Luo Ye raised his knife and pointed outside: "I remember, there is another such one." ”

His eyes were red, and he nodded and said, "Think of a way." Go grab it back ......."

……

In the vast wheat fields that had already been harvested, people in ragged clothes stopped harvesting and looked back in the direction of the gravel village. On the other side, Kuihong quickly gathered his soldiers, and had not yet finished gathering the scattered men. The invading enemy had already killed the entire village, and the fleeing soldiers ran out of the village, chased and killed by the enemy, and cut down in the fields, and in the distant villages, the banners of the Western Xia burned in the flames.

The team barely paused at all, and the queue with blood and murderous aura rushed madly towards this side, and it seemed that there were only a few dozen people in front, but in the villages behind, more people were still running and chasing. With a fanatical expression, some of the Western Xia escaped soldiers couldn't run and were cut down to the ground like chickens.

The soldiers didn't dare to resist, and the morale of the army was broken.

Kuihong was frightened, so that the soldiers in front of him lined up, and then, he saw more than ten horses galloping out of the village, these are the horses used to pull grain in the village, but at this time, the mouth and nose are wide open, and the speed of running is no different from that of war horses. The man at the front was almost blood-red, and he poked the horse's ass hard with a steel knife, and in a few moments, the dozen or so horses were already in the forefront of the charge.

Mao Yishan and Hou Wu ran like flying, and when they watched these more than ten people riding past them, they twitched the corners of their mouths slightly: "Damn, these crazy people." ”

Luo Ye slammed the horse's belly hard, stretched out his knife, and pointed at Kui Hong in the military formation over there: "That's it-"

Far away, a chill faintly rose in Kuihong's heart.

On a cloudy day, under the gaze of hundreds of civilians, this abruptly killed army opened the way with more than ten horses, in a conical formation, and entered the Western Xia army, the front spread, and the viscous blood wave churned to both sides, and in a short time, the Western Xia army collapsed completely.

The distant garrison had seen the beacon fire and rushed to this side, and before they could do so, more troops with the banner of the star on a black background had already spread out of the mountain......

In the mountains southeast of Xiaocang River, there are also a large number of green forest people, who are gathering here. In the cave, Li Pin listened to the report from the scout, and was speechless for a long time.

"It can't be...... Crazy......" he muttered.

Nine thousand men rushed out of the mountain and pounced on the 200,000 army outside the mountain...... He thought of Ning Yi's face, and a chilling chill involuntarily surged in his heart.

No one would commit suicide like that, so something like this would be thrilling.

At this time, to the east of Yanzhou City, the advancing team was pushing out a bloody road, and the lines of beacon fire, galloping horses, rout, killing, and shrinking troops were all extending in the direction of Yanzhou City for a moment. And outside Yanzhou City, there were even many teams that did not receive the order to return to the city.

The black flag extends, and the aggression is like fire! (To be continued.) )

PS: Well, I wrote a wrong character in the previous chapter, Pang Liuan is one of several regiment commanders, and Xu Lingming is the boss of Mao Yishan, so the battalion commander is Xu Lingming. The previous text has been revised.

I couldn't change it yesterday, so I apologize to everyone, this kind of plot requires too much emotion.
