More than 1,000 Liao cavalry chased the white envoy into sight, the ambushed Song cavalry couldn't help but hold their breath, a few war horses felt the master's emotions, and wanted to stand up uneasily, Zhang Xian stared coldly at the bottom of the hill, the cavalry of the white battalion had all passed, and the forward of more than 1,000 Liao cavalry had just galloped to the bottom of the hill, Zhang Xian suddenly shouted: "Get on the horse!" ”

In an instant, the cavalry of the Beiwei battalion jumped on horseback, shouted and rushed down the mountain. The speed of the war horse is getting faster and faster, the blade of the horse pistol is shining in the sun, the wind is whistling, the cavalry of the Liao army found the ambush, and suddenly panicked, a general shouted loudly, and before he had time to adjust his subordinates to meet the enemy, he was picked off the horse by Zhang Xian, who took the lead.

"Cake!" A thought flashed through Yelu's mind, and he shouted, "Don't mess around!" While desperately turning the horses, trying to rush towards the back camp, the clinker war horse ran for a long time, the horsepower was close to exhaustion, this suddenly turned the force, actually broke the hind hooves, the mount fell down with a wail, Jelu also fell off the horse first, he staggered to his feet, looked up and saw countless cavalry rushing past in front of him, several horses almost knocked him over, fortunately several of the soldiers quickly urged the horse over, and protected him in the middle, a cavalryman gave the horse to Yelu first, Yelu also rode first, wanting to scold his subordinates to form a formation, As soon as he opened his mouth, a strong wind blew in his face. "General be careful!" The guards shouted loudly, ignoring Yelu's intentions first, and desperately pulled his war horse to the side.

Said that it was too late, it was fast, several cavalry of the Song army rushed over at a gallop, a few horse pistols were picked and beaten, and the two Yelu also the first personal soldiers could not dodge, fell under the horse, Yelu was also frightened first, the second wave of Song cavalry killed again, this wave was not as dense as the number of cavalry in front, but it was still unstoppable compared to the Liao cavalry that was close to collapse. The cavalry of the Liao army avoided the Song army in a chaotic manner, and many centurions and ten-commanders had already led their troops to flee eastward.

Although there were only a few hundred horsemen rushing down from the hill, who knew how many ambushes there were in the Song people, maybe those damn scouts were just bait. Fighters, take the breath too! Yelu also looked at the irretrievable collapse, panting, and lost his mind for a while. The cavalry of the Song army rushed into battle very powerfully, and just after several waves of rushing, they were already circling their horses not far away, preparing to charge again immediately, but they did not rest at all, and did not give the Liao army a chance to breathe.

"General, retreat!" The pro-soldier shouted. If Jeruth is also killed in battle, all of his own soldiers will be beheaded.

"General, retreat!" More pro-soldiers shouted to persuade them, and the two of them grabbed the reins of their horses without saying anything. This war horse was not the mount of Yelu Yexian, and when others came to grab the reins of the horse, they did not resist, but obediently followed their own soldiers and turned around, and fled back at full speed to the east.

"Ahh The war horses galloped out more than ten miles away, and several centurions gathered hundreds of horses to stop, and Yelu also looked like earth, counted the men and horses, and lost more than 100 horses. At this point, everyone lost their courage, and he didn't care about how many ambushes the Song people had, so he had to hurriedly accept his subordinates, go back and report that he was ambushed by the Song army.

At the foot of the hill, when the cavalry of the Tabai Battalion turned back to kill, there was no Liao soldier left. Yang Zaixing's face was as pale as snowflakes, and he was in good spirits, and immediately bowed his hand to Zhang Xian: "Zhang Tongzhi, Zaixing owes you a life, and there will be something to repay in the future!" "He was born recklessly, let the chivalrous be angry, and compared with other generals, he also has more righteous words.

Zhang Xian was tending to his blades, and the blood of the Liao soldiers stained the white tassel of the spear red, and he went to pick up the horse gun, so that the blood flowed down the red tassel to the tip of the spear, ticking down, dyeing the earthy yellow ground into the color of red plums. He frowned, listened to Yang Zaixing's words, raised his head, and said with a slight smile: "Yang Commander, don't want to see outside, you and I are all in the hands of Yue, why bother mother-in-law, mother-in-law, what do you owe or not?" ”

If others talk about his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, Yang Zaixing may have to turn his face on the spot. But in the face of Zhang Xian, he only nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, sacrificing life and forgetting death, killing the enemy and breaking the army, this is what a hero does!" As he spoke, he was full of blood and blood, touching the wound, and he couldn't help grinning. Yang Zaixing broke the arrow shaft on his body, and then let the soldiers step forward to take care of the injuries. The soldiers were cautious, and Yang Zaixing endured the pain while telling Zhang Xian about the situation of the Liao soldiers, which was quite a bit of Guan Gong's posture of scraping bones to cure poison. Seeing him so hard, Zhang Xian was also secretly surprised.

Zhao Xingde had just arrived in Jiangzhou with the Zhenguo Army Brigade, and generals such as Lu Mingyu and Luo Xian came up. In order not to disturb the enemy army, the generals either came to see it alone, or brought only one or two personal companions. But the look on his face was full of excitement, as if Zhao Xingde had really been detained by the Zhenguo Army for more than ten days.

The previous mutiny was true and false, and it was moving. Zhao Xingde's prestige in the army has been fully reflected. As soon as the soldiers of the Baoyi Army heard that the commander had been detained, they were all filled with righteous indignation, and with a little guidance from the generals, it became a mutiny, and they almost fought with the Zhenguo Army in Shuzhou. Moreover, contrary to the expectations of Lu Mingyu and others, the mutiny of the Savior, others were still hesitant to be tied to their names, but many of the talents in the army were the most daring, what the court system, what the privy military department, in their mouths, all were refuted as useless. "Confucianism and civility" and "chivalry and martial arts" were perfectly combined in the mutiny of the Zhenguo Army. After the mutiny done by this fake play, the Zhenguo Army is very different from before, and the inside and outside are one country, and outsiders have a faint feeling of hatred and hatred.

Zhao Xingde was faintly aware of this situation, but the matter had come to this, whether it was a blessing or a curse, and he couldn't chill everyone's hearts, so he had to tacitly comfort him, and then ask about the ambush arrangement one by one.

"The handsome plan ahead, the arrangement is wonderful!" Lu Mingyu said with a smile, "Shi Senjun is also a capable person, in this place of Jiangzhou, don't say 20,000 cavalry, that is, 100,000 soldiers and horses to fight, we are not afraid!" The generals laughed together. Lu Mingyu spoke a little exaggeratedly. But when they rushed to Jiangzhou in a hurry, Shi Jingkui had already recruited tens of thousands of Ding Zhuang from nearby states and counties. Although the state and county volunteers had not been in battle, Shi Jingkui generously distributed the muskets and guns transported from Ezhou, and had a preliminary queue drill, and at the same time, Shi Jingkui commanded the state and county volunteers to set up camps in dangerous places near Jiangzhou, and collected a lot of grain and grass. The generals finally fell to the ground in their hearts, and they all admired Zhao Xingde's almost unpredictable prophetic arrangement.

"Shi Senjun is so capable of writing and martial arts, and he is a figure with the same arms wherever he puts it." Luo Xianshi also praised without hesitation.

"Where, where!" Shi Jingkui's eyes were bloodshot, and he arched his hand and said humbly, "The last general just did something within his bounds." ”

"Don't be too humble, this battle was won, Shi joined the army and made great contributions, and Zhao thanked the people of the southeast on behalf of him." Zhao Xingde smiled slightly, and bowed to Shi Jingkui with deep meaning. Shi Jingkui hurriedly stood up and thanked him, the boss treated a subordinate like this, which is rare, the generals only thought that Corporal Zhao Xingde Lixian, but they didn't expect Zhao Xingde to be Xie Shi Jingkui as a native of Xia Guo, but he was exhausted for the war in the Kanto. The long history of the march of the Xia Kingdom is that they are all skilled in military affairs and shrewd and capable talents. It is no wonder that the marching division was able to dominate the general's mansion.

"Since the Liao army has come to fight six hundred miles away," after the politeness, Zhao Xingde said calmly, "We can't wait for them slowly," Shi Jingkui spread out the topographic map made in advance, Zhao Xingde glanced at it, and said with a smile, "Shi Shenjun has set up camps at the highland points along the way, and the place suitable for the decisive battle of the army is about here." Zhao Xingde was reluctant to defend the city, he pointed to a narrow plain in the east of Jiangzhou City, the surrounding hills were not suitable for cavalry attacks, but they were extremely suitable for setting up artillery forts and condescending to control the battlefield, if the Liao army wanted to capture Jiangzhou, it must pass through this place. The brigades of the Zhenguo Army and the Baoyi Army can also meet the Liao army here. The only thing to worry about is that the Liao army that originally thought that there were only more than 10,000 cavalry chasing it, but who knew that after receiving the notice of stepping on the white camp, the southeast Liao soldiers had a large reinforcement army, and there were more than 20,000 to 30,000 elite cavalry chasing along the way. It's like preparing a table of food to entertain a bad guest, and suddenly two tables of guests come. In the face of the superiority of the Liao army's troops, the pressure on the Baoyi army and the Zhenguo army increased sharply, and it was very likely that they would fall into a fierce battle again, and they would not be able to withdraw back to Ezhou in time.

At this time, a personal soldier informed, after coming in, presented a pigeon book, Zhao Xingde opened a look, his eyes showed joy, he closed the paper roll, his hand trembled slightly, silent for a moment, smiled and sighed: "God bless, it's really timely rain." ”

............

To the south of Xiangyang, the red sun is rising, and the camps of the Song army are continuous, fluttering with various colored flags. The troops of the southeast camp and the Xijing camp have not allowed their soldiers to leave the camp, and the generals have to go to the commander's tent every day.

"Wait," a general who had just left the Chinese army scolded, "Wait for a bird!" ”

"Alas," said the other in a low voice, "one soldier will be a nest of bears." Think about ...... back then," he looked left and right, and lowered his voice again, "How refreshing our king was when he commanded the army!" It's a pity that ......" "The southeast camp is made by the king's control and the elite of the world, and the will of the imperial court is still easy to say, when will it be ordered by Xijing?" The other general sighed and did not continue the topic.

In the Chinese military tent, the privy envoy Cao Di's face was as pale as iron, Liu Yanqing's brows were furrowed, and their eyes fell on Shuzhou and Jiangzhou at the same time.

"Cao Envoy, Liu Jiedu," a person was transferred out from behind the tent, with a yellow robe and a golden helmet, and it turned out to be Zhao Qi, the Son of Heaven, "Shuzhou has been defeated, when will we be able to send troops to Ezhou?" He looked uncertain. It was unseemly for the Son of Heaven to hide behind the tent and listen to the military discussions. But Zhao Qi has always been dignified, he and Cao Di have a friendship with Weng and his son-in-law, and he remembers that he will send troops to Ezhou as soon as possible to establish orthodoxy, so he came in person regardless of etiquette, wanting to see what the military discussion of the army is all about.
