Chapter 13 Destiny is a great fallacy-1

Zhao Xingde, who was staying in the camp, was awakened by the running and noisy sound of the soldiers outside, only to feel that the fire was dazzling, hurriedly put on his clothes, hesitated for a moment, took out the chain mail vest given by Song An from the baggage and put it inside, hurriedly put on the helmet, picked up the saber and bow and arrow casually, lifted the curtain and went out of the tent, only to see the soldiers running around, some holding torches, some holding swords. In the absence of the commanders of the various armies, many battalion commanders and commanders took the initiative to lead people to support the nearest large camp wall, which was also a common practice in the Hebei army. According to military law, it is strictly forbidden to gallop on foot in the camp at night, but in the case of a night attack by enemy cavalry, it is more important than anything else to hold the perimeter of the camp.

Compared with the armies of Hebei Xingying, the military discipline of the Zhenbei Army is the best, most of the soldiers put on armor and then formed a team in the open space next to the camp, the head of the capital, the battalion commander, everyone was sleepy-eyed, all were a little inexplicable, anxious to ask the battalion for countermeasures, barely grabbed the soldiers, some were just lined up and were scattered by friendly troops, and some were squeezed to the side of the road.

Zhao Xingde followed the soldiers to run towards the wall, he passed through one camp after another, his ears were full of military orders shouted in various Hebei dialects, from time to time there were cavalry passing by him, and some officers rode and shouted while running: "Return to the camp, no trespassing!" More officers were shouting: "Hu people are stealing the camp!" "Reinforcements!" "Armored Formation!" "Get ready to go!"

Coming to the place close to the wall, Zhao Xingde saw that outside the tent of Langzhong with the army, several soldiers who had been wounded by arrows were bandaging, and the arrows of the Kereh people were not smooth, and the penetrating power was not enough, but it was more troublesome to take out, and generally speaking, they were quenched with poison. Strips of cloth were thrown on the ground in a mess, and the pot next to them had not yet boiled, and some soldiers were so painful that they began to moan and scream, and even cursed. Zhao Xingde didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly followed the other soldiers to run towards the wall, only to see flames flying in the sky, which was thrown by the Kereh cavalry rushing to the front, and it was nothing to stick to the wall covered with wet mud, and it was even more troublesome to stick to the tent and the soldiers.

The soldiers of the camp were hiding behind the walls and carriages, quite embarrassed. "Why don't you release the arrows?" Zhao Xingde asked with a kind-faced soldier.

"The handsome man has an order, the Hu people didn't rush in, and they can't release arrows! Violators will be killed! A horseman with an arrow in his hand carefully restrained his horse beyond the range of the arrows of the Kerebu, and shouted loudly, this is the sixth herald, and his shout attracted the hateful eyes of the soldiers of the camp who were hiding behind the wall and the carriage, and this made the horsemen dare not delay, and after roaring twice, he immediately turned his horse's head and ran away.

"I-" A Hebei soldier beside Zhao Xingde spat saliva to the ground, pulled out a steel knife, and used a whetstone to make a sharp click-click-click.

The arrows in the sky flew wildly, and Zhao Xingde leaned against the wall, panting heavily. The wall is made of wooden planks inserted on top of a rammed mound of earth, and it is quite rudimentary. The Hebei camp in the Wuzong Dynasty was a little simple, the government was mobilizing the box army and the people to renovate, and the Hebei army would move in about ten days later, so now this camp is temporary, even the trench was not dug, it was originally in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, and there were three passes in the north, and no one felt how solid it was to build a temporary camp.

Xingde could hear the curses muttered by the Hu cavalry through the wooden plank, and it was conceivable how close these arrogant Hu cavalry rushed when there were no archers in the camp to fight back. More and more soldiers gathered on the inside of the wall, and many of them were hit, and the situation became a little chaotic for a while, and the Zhenbei Army and the Yamen had to send more men to suppress these soldiers of the Hebei camp. Hearing the sound of the walled wall leaning against by the arrows of the Kerebu, Zhao Xingde couldn't help but think back to the night when the caravan was besieged by horse thieves, and a feeling of shame and shame came to his heart, Xingde took out five arrows and stuck them in the soil beside him in turn.

"His grandmother's, bumped into this eggless handsome, and fought a bad battle without eggs!" An old pawn next to him suddenly burst out with a foul language, because Xingde was wearing the clothes of a newly-haired officer, and the old pawn also glanced at Zhao Xingde defiantly. "Wretch!" "I've never been so before!" The soldiers below complained.

At this time, the commander of the first army in Zhenbei made Xin Xingzong ordered to go out of the village to pacify the cavalry of the Kereh Department, he came to the back of the arrow tower on the wall, the general who was familiar with the barbarian language was a little hoarse, Xin Xingzong found three soldiers with a particularly loud voice, and shouted loudly together: "Listen to the first army in Zhenbei outside, Tong Dashuai has an order, if you come to avenge General Kremarcus, return to the camp for the time being, and Tong Dashuai will definitely call the shots!" ”

The words of the general matter are more complicated, the three microphones are not accurate, the clansmen of the Kereh tribe gallop and shoot, they can't hear it clearly, and the archery has not stopped, Xin Xingzong is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he doesn't want to go out to die, and he doesn't dare to go back to his life like this, and the Hebei soldiers next to him have a little barbarian language when patrolling the border, and they only watch the joke with cold eyes at the moment.

After waiting for a while, the rain of arrows outside the camp was not sparse, Xin Xingzong's heart was crossed, and he asked the general secretary and the three microphones to shout out Tong Guan's appeasement, which he originally wanted to confess to the people of the First Army in Zhenbei in person, and also betrayed his personal favor. "Tong Dashuai took pity on him, and compensated 5,000 horses of cloth and silk for the funeral of Lord Keree."

When the Kereh tribesmen are on the grassland, there will also be people who come to collect mink, cattle and sheep, animal skins and other things, and the main material of the transaction is cloth, so the word "cloth" is very accurate, and the number of five thousand can also be heard clearly, and the rules on the grassland, the defeated party can give cattle and sheep materials to the victor to sue for peace, the people of the Kereh tribe are out of the hinterland of the Song Kingdom, the patriarch is dead, and he did not plan to go back alive, and he vaguely heard that the Han people want to pay tribute and sue for peace, and the arrows are sparse. Several small leaders discussed with the patriarch's son, Hu'er Zahus, and the war horse galloped in the middle of the night, and it was time to rest for a while, so that the Song people could move the tribute out first.

The messenger translated the requirements of the Kereh people to Xin Xingzong, and Xin Xingzong was immediately overjoyed, beckoning his soldiers to hurry up and send the cloth out of the camp. 5,000 pieces of cloth is not a small amount, it needs to be handled by more than a dozen officials under the secretary Zhou Dingcheng, although it is all deployed to the adults to personally inquire, but it is also extremely rare to have no oil and water errands, so the efficiency of the baggage battalion is by no means high, about half an hour later, 5,000 cloth and silk were loaded and sent to the gate of the camp.

In the middle of this small half hour, the cavalry of the Kereb Department outside was stationed on their horses to rest, and many soldiers of the Hebei camp also relaxed, crowded near the wall, many people poked their heads out from behind the wall, and looked curiously at the cavalry of the fifth army in the north of the town.

Xin Xingzong was waiting anxiously, and when he saw that the five thousand cloths had finally arrived, he hurriedly said to the soldiers under his command: "What are you still doing in a daze, open the camp door wide, and hand over these bereavement items to the outside." With the squeaky winch turning, the door of the camp opened, more than 150 soldiers of the First Army in the north of the town, some driving mule carts, some pushing wheelbarrows, the carts were loaded with cloth, slowly out of the camp, not far away, more than 2,000 horsemen got on their horses one after another, opened the sparse formation, vigilantly watched the approaching Southern Korean soldiers.

Zhao Xingde was behind the wall, looking from a distance, the convoy of cloth and silk marched in front of the cavalry of the Kerebu department, and the officer in the lead was with the general, and he even compared and painted, as if he wanted Hu Ren to check the cloth on the spot, so that he could go back and hand it over. The leading few horsemen only looked at the cloth at random, and did not know what to say, and then the officer who sent the cloth and silk argued with them, and soon the officer waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to leave the carriage and wheelbarrow in the local area, and turned around and walked, without walking a dozen steps, and one of the Hu horsemen behind opened his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow, straight through the back of the head, and the officer did not say a word, and fell face up and down to the ground.

Almost at the same moment, all the soldiers standing on the wall of the big camp and watching let out an exclamation of surprise. Just as the carrying soldiers began to run desperately towards the gate of the camp, the Hu people behind urged their horses, some drew their scimitars, some opened their bows and arrows, and the cavalry of the Kereb Department made a shout peculiar to hunting and fighting, and the sound of horses' hooves was mixed with the screams of several soldiers who were cut down or shot from time to time, and many of them fell to the ground with confused and frightened expressions on their faces.

"Run!" "His grandmother's!" "Open the camp gate and let grandpa fight!" Although the world has been peaceful for a long time, the friction war around the border military fort has never stopped, when did the Hebei soldiers die so much!

The commanders of the other armies are still in the capital deployment tent at the moment, and the commander of the first army in Zhenbei, Xin Xingzong's face turned pale, watching the soldiers under his command fall into the dust one after another, until the last one was still a dozen steps away from the door of the battalion, and a horse galloping from behind was holding a scimitar and cutting off his neck without any suspense, and the headless body of the soldier who was relieved just now fell to the ground with a snap. The Hu cavalry shouted excitedly, brandished his scimitar at the Hebei army guarding the gate of the camp as if demonstrating, turned the horse's head, and walked away.

With the killing of the last soldier outside the camp, the emotions of the soldiers gathered in the camp were uncontrollable, Xin Xingzong's face was still pale, the fifth army in the north of the town, no, the damned Barbarian of the Kereh Department ate five thousand horses of cloth, not to mention, and killed the people of his first army, he had to repay the marshal and severely punish him. However, the agitated rebels at the gate of the camp need to be controlled, and before the military order of the commander to quell the chaos comes down, if these people rush out and disturb the situation, they are afraid that the commander will be angry and will come to him.

Thinking of this, Xin Xingzong rode on his horse and instructed the deputy general next to him: "Before the commander orders come down, not a single soldier or soldier shall be released, nor shall he send an arrow or a stone to Hu Cai, otherwise it will be unclear." Then, under the escort of dozens of personal soldiers, he squeezed a way out of the rebels and ran towards the tent. The deputy general of the First Army, who was responsible for guarding the gate of the big camp, was Xin Xingzong's henchman, and the battle was so-so, but the execution of the military order was very in place.

Xin Xingzong had just left in front, but the situation behind him was out of control. The Hebei soldiers who witnessed the whole incident began to be furious, and the First Army of Zhenbei, which was originally responsible for maintaining order, was demoralized because more than 100 of his comrades had just been killed, "His grandmother's! This still doesn't let people live! "Being a soldier and eating food is not so impressive!" "Wretch!" "It's all the eunuch who killed it!" "Sure enough, it's a traitor!" "Get rid of Liu Dashuai, and then let these Hu people practice us!" "Go to the camp and kill the eunuch! Find the old handsome again to distinguish the grievances! "Kill the eunuch!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

The anger of the soldiers who could not leave the camp finally turned around, from Liu Yanqing to his post, forced to say goodbye to his family and leave the Daimyo's Mansion to move to the town of Hejian, the Zhenbei Army was paid high salaries and the supplies of other armies were getting less and less, and the long-suppressed anger broke out at this moment, and more and more soldiers blamed the bad luck they had suffered on the new Du Deployment Tong Guan, and began to flock to the center of the camp in groups.

Zhao Xingde squatted under the battlement of the wall, looking at this scene with a pale face in front of his eyes, outside was the rampant roar of the cavalry of the Kerebu Department, running wildly, arrows and feathers flying, the chaotic soldiers inside had lost control, and even lost their ranks, and no officer could control these soldiers who were forced to be pressed by military methods, "Camp Xiao? "Mutiny?" These two words flashed in Zhao Xingde's mind, and he didn't know how to deal with himself, and the two lines of sweat slowly flowed down his spine.
