In the afternoon of the same day, the Bozhou army set out and marched all the way.

Shortly after dark, we rushed to the east of Luyi City.

It's a pity that they came one step late, and the fire in the city was everywhere, and the city of Luyi was broken.

Xin Qiji sent people into the city, and after discovering that the Jin people were still in the city, he immediately ordered the whole army to quietly enter the city under the cover of night from the east and west gates, which had long been destroyed.

The Jin army in the city traveled for two or three hundred miles for a long time, and the weak Luyi was the first target of their attack, and it was also the place where they chose the news in advance, because this place was not far from Bozhou City, but it was definitely not close, the cavalry could rush over in an hour, but the infantry might not be able to come to support in three hours, let alone march in the ice and snow.

The Jin army, which successfully broke through Luyi, is ready to rest in the city for a night, and when it recovers its energy and strength, it will do real big things.

However, things did not go as smoothly as they imagined, and they had just broken the city, and before they had time to eat a hot meal, they heard shouts of killing coming from the east of the city.

The Bozhou army entered the city at night.

A scuffle ensued in the dim flickering light of the fire.

Xin Qiji crossed his horse and swung his sword, as if he had returned to the Shandong Righteous Army more than two years ago.

At that time, he had to fight against the Jin people almost every few days, and although he was facing life and death from time to time, it was the happiest time for him to feel because of the Jin people they fought against!

It's a pity that there was a change later, the rebel army was disbanded, he crossed south to the Great Song Dynasty, and since then he has never been able to pick up his sword, pick up his sword, and all the official positions awarded to him by the court have nothing to do with leading troops to fight, and his heart is only about fighting.

This time the Jin people attacked Luyi and Bozhou, it was a God-given opportunity, an opportunity for him to show what he wanted, how could he miss it?

Guarding Bozhou, it is enough to have a rule system and those local officials, not to mention that there are so many people in the city, so many grain, grass and ordnance, and a strong high city.

So he brought out all the Bozhou troops, he wanted to block the enemy outside the city, Bozhou has returned to the hands of the Song people, and it is no longer a place where the Jin people can wreak havoc, and if they dare to invade, they will have to suffer some hardships.

10,000 Song troops against 5,000 Jin troops, not 10,000 righteous troops against 5,000 Jin troops, the righteous army and the Song army are not comparable in terms of equipment or military training, so Xin Qiji dared to take the Bozhou army, which had just been formed for a few days, to kill into Luyi City, where the Jin people were hiding, at night.

In the dim firelight of the streets, in the melee of hand-to-hand combat, Xin Qi's war horse under the crotch was difficult to turn around, he could only charge forward, everywhere he went, his hand was up and down, left and right, and several enemy soldiers who rushed over fell in a pool of blood.

His bravery attracted the attention of the golden soldiers, and immediately several golden soldiers surrounded him, and the running war horse could not stop, and he had nothing to fear, because only the enemy could arouse the infinite fighting spirit in his heart.

As nearly 10,000 Bozhou troops poured into the city from the east and west gates, a more fierce street battle was staged in the small city of Luyi.

This group of Song soldiers who fled back from the north, once they faced the Jin cavalry who could not charge, their courage and blood surged together, and street fighting was their strong point, and they were fearless in the face of the Jin soldiers.

This is a battle to the death with no advance or retreat, this is true for the Bozhou army formed by the defeated army, and the same is true for the light cavalry of the Jin army who came to sneak attack, the Bozhou army wants to regain the dignity they have lost, and the Jin army wants to seize a fulcrum that turns the whole tide of the war.

Before the two sides made contact, they didn't think about turning this small Luyi into a Shura field, and when the two armies met in the city, it was destined to be a never-ending battle, no compromise, no surrender, which side died, and the battle could end.

Two hours later, only sporadic fighting remained in the city.

Three hours later, there was no sound of swords in the city, and the battle was completely over.

"How many enemies escaped?" Xin Qiji was covered in blood, and in the cold night, the blood on his body was about to freeze.

"About three or five hundred." One leader returns.

"Clean up the battlefield and find out whether it is 300 or 500 people, if they are allowed to wander around Bozhou, the people will not have a good New Year." Xin Qiji was slightly dissatisfied.

The two gates in the city have all been defended, and the Jin people are still obviously in a weak position, how can they let three or five hundred people escape?

"Yes, sir. The last general has already asked his brothers to hurry up and clean up the battlefield, it is too dark, and it will take some time. The Commander replied.

"I want to know where the fleeing enemy is. Who can go out of the city to pursue? "Three or five hundred enemy troops are wandering, Xin Qiji is very worried, and if he does not destroy all the enemy troops in the territory, he will not be able to sit in peace.

The commanders looked at each other, and no one dared to pick up this hot potato.

A small group of enemy troops fled at night, panicking, who knows where they will run, once they go to pursue, they will inevitably have a fierce battle, if they can't catch up, they will suffer for a few days in vain, and maybe they will be punished.

Seeing that the generals did not answer, Xin Qiji immediately said: "Who can destroy the fleeing enemy army, or drive them out of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and give them the position of commander!" ”

Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men.

The temptation of the post of commander is too great, and command means that he can lead an army alone and have independent operational command power in wartime, and everyone present knows how important it is to win a war.

Only by winning battles can we have more military exploits, and only with enough military exploits can we go further and glorify our ancestors.

The six of them scrambled, all wanting to get a chance to pursue the enemy.

But there is only one opportunity, and no one can go if they want to.

To pursue the enemy, one must be brave, the second is to be good at observation and careful, and the third is to be able to use his brain.

Two quarters of an hour later, Xin Qiji personally determined the candidates to pursue the enemy army, and issued a military order, if he could not complete the task, he would be offset by the merits of the Battle of Luyi.

The commander immediately issued a military order and led the soldiers of the three battalions belonging to him to chase him out of Luyi County overnight.

The cleaning of the battlefield in Luyi City finally ended after more than an hour, that is, after dawn.

In this battle, a total of 4,637 enemy soldiers were killed, more than 3,860 horses were captured, and the Song army suffered 2,357 casualties.

In this battle, the results were fruitful, but the casualties of the Bozhou army were also very heavy, with more than 2,000 casualties, which was enough to break the bones and bones.

After confirming that there were no other brigades of Jin soldiers within a hundred miles of the surrounding area, one army was left to take over Luyi and rest the city, while the others waited in the city for three days after cleaning and burying the corpses, waiting for news of the small Jin army that had escaped.

If there is definite news, they will lead their troops to support the pursuit, and if there is no news, they will soon return to Bozhou City.

Two days later, the news came, the fleeing Jin army panicked, lost its way, after sacking several villages to grab food, fled all the way to the vicinity of Dancheng, and finally in the northwest of Dancheng was caught up by the Bozhou army who was ordered to pursue, the two sides launched a fierce battle, killing more than 250 enemy soldiers, and the rest of the enemy army escaped again.

After replenishing rations at Dancheng, the pursuing Bozhou army continued to pursue the enemy.

Hearing this news, Xin Qiji let go of his worries, as long as the Bozhou army can keep up with the footsteps of the other party and bite them to the death, they will be completely wiped out one day.

The next day, the Bozhou army returned to Bozhou City.

Xin Qiji was warmly welcomed by the officials and people in the city, because his reputation had spread in Bozhou City a few days ago, and it was definitely a blessing for the people of Bozhou to have such a father and wife official who could write and martial arts to sit in Bozhou City.

The people all believe that as long as the new governor is in Bozhou, no matter what the war is ahead, Bozhou will be safe.

In the face of the praise of a group of officials and the gentry of the common people, Xin Qiji, who had achieved victory, was even more jubilant, his confidence was greatly increased, and his blood boiled for a while, and he secretly swore that no matter what he did in this life, he would never be a lonely and unknown scholar! If you want to do it, you will be a hero who stands up to the sky!

Five days later, the Bozhou army, which was ordered to pursue the fleeing small group of enemy troops, returned to Bozhou with the head of the enemy's main general: the Jin army was completely annihilated near Huaiyang, a total of more than 470 people, and none of them escaped!

After receiving this news, Xin Qiji finally completely relieved his heart, and immediately Pegasus reported to Lin'an.

After the battle of Luyi, Xin Qiji's time to deal with government affairs in Bozhou City became less and less, in addition to raising grain and grass, he spent a lot of time and energy on training the Bozhou army, his general dream, the hero dream has risen in his heart, he can't be restrained at all, he wants to lead the troops to the front line of the Northern Expedition, and fight the enemy head-on, instead of hiding in Bozhou City, to be a grain inspector who can't hold a knife.

He wants to go to the front line, he wants to go to the front line, but Bozhou has not seen any officials to take over the post of governor of Bozhou, let alone anyone to take over the post of grain governor, no one to take over, and it is impossible for him to leave.

So from the second year of Longxing, Xin Qiji began his road of writing, writing to Zhang Jun, to Li Xianzhong, to Wu Gong, to Yang Congyi, and also to the Lin'an court, the Privy Council, and the emperor, on military preparations, on the restoration of the Central Plains, on the Northern Expedition, on the strength of the Jin State and the Great Song Dynasty and the strength of the country, on the timing of the Song and Jin wars, on the repressive rebel army in various parts of the Jin State, and on the dissenting departments in the northern grasslands of the Jin State.

But after five full years, Xin Qiji never got a chance to lead the troops to fight after the battle of Luyi, but his official position has been promoted, from Bozhou Governor to Yingzhou Governor, and more than a year later he was transferred to Fuzhou Governor, and then he went around Jiangxi, and he never even went north of the Yangtze River.

His enthusiasm and fighting spirit were gradually dissipated in the inexhaustible official documents, and gradually became like an ancient well, and only occasionally heard the news of the Northern Expedition from the north, he would take out the sword that had long been dusted and wipe it again and again in the dead of night.

Will the opportunity to return to the battlefield and go to the north again?

Xin Qiji didn't know, but as long as there was news from the north, he was willing to wait.

He believed that one day, he would re-mount his war horse, indulge in fighting with the enemy, restore Zhending, restore Hejian, restore Yunzhong, and restore Yanjing!
