In the bitter cold land of the northwest, at this moment, the weather is already extremely cold.

The sky was covered with light snow like powder, and in the valleys around the Hengshan Mountains, there were large groups of people who were working intensively here to make siege equipment.

All the people in the Western Army are soldiers, and there are even many half-grown children running back and forth all over the mountains and fields, doing some small work to help their fathers and brothers in the upcoming decisive battle.

In the snowflakes in the sky, I saw a team of people and horses in the distance, who were walking along the winding mountain road to the hilltop fortress.

These soldiers were all majestic and agile men, wearing thick fat jackets and white mink hats. In such weather, he still looks full of energy, and he walks vigorously on the mountain road.

Looking at the string wrapping cloth that seemed to be stained with blood on the handles of their swords and swords around their waists, we knew that these soldiers who wore fat jackets in the Great Song Dynasty army, but wore extremely stylish white mink hats, were all fighting men who rolled out of the pile of dead people.

The leader is covered in blade armor, which is much newer than his comrades, and it is Han Shizhong, who was selected from the Long Live Battalion.

Pohan Wu Han Shizhong broke into Qingxi Mountain alone, captured the anti-thief Fang La alive and became famous in a battle, and after returning to the Western Army, he was promoted by Tongguan, and now he is the commander of the Shengjie Army.

Tong Guan got Yang Lin's letter, taught him to promote this military man, and said that Yang Lin was his old friend, and with his current identity and power, Tong Guan was also happy to sell Yang Lin a favor.

Exhaling a breath of white air, Han Shizhong turned around and said with a smile to his own soldiers: "The weather is like a hot man, frozen into ice cubes. After beating the summer thieves this time, I will definitely find a few noble ladies of the summer thieves in the palace of Xingqing Mansion to warm up. ”

Commander Han, who was accustomed to being taboo with meat and vegetarians, made the soldiers who mingled with him talk less scruples, and they all laughed at this time: "General Han has the support of Shaozai, so naturally there are no taboos." We don't have a good father, the only thing we are good at is that we can endure hardships and fight, and we can't meet Yang Shaozai who is not greedy for hard work. If you dare to mess around in Xingqing Mansion, you will not be castrated into the palace to serve Zhao Guan's family. ”

"Close your beak, speak rudely, and be careful to cause trouble for Lao Tzu." This place is already close to Tong Guan's big tent, Han Shizhong's face is careless, for fear that these people's words of ridiculing the eunuch will reach Tong Guan, so he will wait to wear small shoes. finally met a noble person to support him, and Han Shizhong didn't want to cut off his future because of this.

After scolding, Han Shizhong laughed first, and couldn't hide the excitement on his face: "Looking like this this time, it must be a big battle, and it should be a good day for us to fight to become famous and fight for a famous man." ”

Although Han Shizhong has not been in the army for a long time, he is already a veteran of long-term fighting, his muscles and bones are like iron, and his eyes are sharp, and once some people arrive on the battlefield, it is difficult to hide his light.

The wind and clouds will meet, the nobles will support, and the fame will be like exploring the bag. For thousands of years, there are a few people who seem to be such famous generals.

He was surrounded by his henchmen, but after all, he was in the camp, and Han Shizhong didn't dare to delay too much, so he took people to meet the eunuch Xuanshuai who commanded all the heroes of the Western Army.

Shengjiejun is the main force of Tong Guan, and it is also the most loyal to him, and it is bound to play an important role in the final battle of this summer war.

Opened the door of the tent, Tong Guanzheng and Wang Hou stared at a map made of brown paper, the fire in the tent was burning, and after Han Shizhong came in, he felt indescribably comfortable: "The last general, Han Shizhong, has seen Tong Shuai and Wang Shuai!" ”

Tong Guan didn't raise his head, stretched out his hand, Han Shizhong hurriedly stepped forward, only to see Tong Guan pointing to the corner of the map mountain and said: "Splash Han Wu, this place is a mountain col in the eastern suburbs of Xingqing Mansion, according to the report of the exploration horse, there are 100,000 collision Linglang." The summer thieves are accustomed to this trick, if it is released in a hurry, it will be difficult for our army to quickly attack the city, and the meaning of the surprise attack will be lost. ”

The so-called Bang Linglang is the cannon fodder regiment of the Western Xia, and the main ethnic party of the Western Xia State has a relatively small population, so it often recruits soldiers of other ethnic groups or Han nationality to join the Western Xia army.

The Crash Linglang is generally composed of Han soldiers, who are mainly responsible for charging into battle, and are synonymous with "cannon fodder", which is equivalent to cannon fodder. The source of this Linglang army was to select brave and good fighters from among the captured Han Chinese to form an army, and let them charge in front, so as to reduce the casualties of the party army.

These people are all suspicious of Han'er, often unarmed, ragged, and dejected, but they have to be at the front as a meat shield.

"What idea is there to keep them out of the battlefield." Tong Guan said in a deep voice, it seems that he has been worried about this matter for more than a day or two.

Han Shizhong stared at it, and the mountains and rivers on the map all appeared in his mind like real objects, and after thinking for a moment, he hugged his fists and said: "Tong Shuai, this place is low-lying, the roads are difficult to travel, and it is impossible to mobilize the army like an arm. If we make a feint and use light cavalry to attract the Xia thieves to release the Crashing Commander, it will be difficult for them to control this group of stragglers. When the time comes, our main forces will besiege from the other three sides. ”

Tong Guan heard it, this is a bit difficult, but it is not a bad way.

The difficulty lies in the fact that this unit, which is acting as a feint, must have strict military discipline and be restrained by the commander-in-chief in order to lead them to the most suitable position.

Tong Guan sighed and scolded: "Li Yuanhao, who is a straight thief, is really a despicable and shameless barbarian who is rare in the ages, and this kind of idea has been thought up by him, and he is a good man for us." If there is a collision Linglang on the periphery, all surprise attacks will lose their effect, and what you said may be the only way, which is the candidate for this feint..."

Han Shizhong hugged his fists and said: "If you are trusted by Tong Shuai, the last general is willing to give it a try." ”

Thinking about it, those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals in the Western Army may not be willing to do this dirty work, and only Han Shizhong, a military man who has climbed up from the bottom, will desperately chase such military exploits.

After all, if it is a feint, there must be a shortage of men and horses, if there is a Xia army dispatched, it will be a good thing for the Song army besieging the city, and it will be a disaster for the feint.

The Western Xia cavalry was like a cloud, and once they were entangled, they couldn't escape at all.

"You go back and choose as many people as you like, if this success is achieved, a certain family will give you a big credit!"

Han Shizhong smiled and patted himself on the chest: "Tong Shuai, don't worry, I don't know how many summer thieves I killed, but they can't hurt my life, their arrows have eyes, and they avoid me." All Xuan Shuai can lead the troops to attack the city with peace of mind, and the matter of feint attack will be handed over to me Han Wu! ”

"Tong Shuai, when will we send troops?"

Tong Guan raised his head and said: "When the Tubo people are assembled, this group of Tubo people lost their king at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and since then, the extremely powerful Tubo has completely become a fish and meat to be slaughtered, and it has been a hundred years since then. This time, the four leaders of them have formed an alliance with our army, and they don't know when they will be able to gather the warriors of the tribe. ”
