Chapter 427: The Tiger and the Leopard Finally Meet

"All that needs to be said has been said, and today I will let the generals choose to go at their own discretion. But if you have words first, those who are willing to stay can occasionally recall the past, but their home is in Dali. If you want to take revenge and kill the enemy, this king has the way to borrow the way, and the grain to borrow grain; If it weren't for revenge, the king would let the prison guard give an extra ten taels as everyone's pension. ”

"Thank you, King Dali." Wang Man immediately changed his name, knelt down and kowtowed a few times, stood up and shouted to the crowd: "Who wants to go with me to restore the country of shame?" ”

How can you help without food? Xia Zhouzhong hesitated, and Yan Dingtian, who was open-skinned, turned around and shouted: "The last general is willing to go." ”

As soon as Yan Dingtian responded, everyone gritted their teeth and all stepped forward to respond: "Swear to destroy the wolf." ”

Ah Zhen smiled at this group of hot-blooded generals, his eyes jumped with a cunning light, pointed at Yang Tengfei, Yang Qingyang, Su Wu, and Su Jingchen, and apologized to Wang Man: "Deputy Marshal Wang is so courageous, but this four people have to stay, but in order to make up for you, this king originally gave him 1 million taels to fill up military funds." ”

One million taels is not a small amount, the generals were surprised, the original King of Dali was a person, no one could take it away, but I didn't expect to get a million taels for nothing as military funds, Wang Man's reason why it shouldn't be? Huhu hugged his fists and thanked him: "Thank you King Dali." ”

"This ......" Su Wu and the four looked at the hot-blooded brothers of life and death, and then looked at the smiling king, he didn't let them leave, and they had no choice but to sigh and retreat to the regular position, hugging their fists and saying goodbye to the generals.

The generals of Xia Zhou had money, and after thanking them neatly, they strode out of the tent, and there was an uproar of soldiers and horses outside.

Ah Zhen closed his eyes and waited quietly, while the Dali generals stood on the side and looked at each other, constantly speculating in their hearts how many soldiers and horses were willing to leave with these Xia Zhou generals.

After a long period of time, the noise outside gradually subsided, he opened his eyes and smiled at this group of anxious generals, not in a hurry or impatient, picking up the teacup and sucking lightly. Xindao: Soldiers are the same as the people, it is rare to see the emperor in their lives, what is the difference between who they are loyal to? In the summer and Zhou, the soldiers wore coarse straw sandals; In Dali, everyone put on material uniforms and military boots; In the summer and Zhou, the soldiers ate porridge, steamed vegetables, potatoes and taro; In Dali, everyone eats rice, chicken, duck and fish; In Xia Zhou, I don't know tomorrow's life and death today; In Dali, the soldiers are calm and fearless, and work together......

Before the comparison was finished, a report sounded outside the tent, and Ah Zhen immediately called in, and the overseers in uniforms entered to report: "King Qiyu, a total of 43,000 soldiers, 30 thousand generals, and seven commanders left with the Xia and Zhou generals. ”

Eight hundred years of Xia Zhou seems to have merit. Ah Zhen just nodded his head, looked at the generals left and right, and said: "Okay, everyone will go back and settle the soldiers and horses, I will let the marshal come to rectify as soon as possible, and I will work hard for you for the time being." ”

"It's not hard to wait." Less than 50,000 people had departed, but the generals rejoiced in their hearts, bowed down in order, and left the king's tent one by one. I don't know why, every grass and tree in the village is still the same, but my heart feels much quieter.

Calling everyone away, Ah Zhen pursed his lips and stood up, and walked to the huge military map hanging on the left wall. He looked at it for a long time, shook his head slightly, and then turned back to the inner tent to rest. These more than 40,000 people may give Jin Liao a headache for a while, but it is only for a while, and after this period of time, I am afraid that everyone will have to abandon the corpse wilderness and let the eagle peck at the wolf.

On the march, apart from eating and sleeping, Ah Zhen basically had nothing to do. If he was not a king, but just a general, then military life must have been colorful. It's just that he is the king, except for the occasional order and the transfer of troops and horses, the rest of the time is no different from a pig.

The more I slept, the more tired I was, the more tired I slept and I slept like this, so I spent another three days in Xiliang. At ten o'clock in the evening of one day, Li Haosen sent someone to send the bodies of Zhou Bofeng and his son, Ah Zhen didn't even look at it, and ordered the whole army to wear linen and filial piety for him, and solemnly hide it in a mountain range in the Qinling Mountains. Qinling has been buried in the emperor since ancient times, Zhou Bofeng could not be the emperor during his lifetime, and after his death, he was buried in this feng shui treasure land that the emperors of all dynasties wanted to bury, and it was a worthy death.

However, on the other hand, all the snow leopards sent out still couldn't find any trace of Zhou Jinxuan, this stupid pig seemed to have evaporated from the world, and suddenly the news disappeared without a trace, and even the ministers of the court didn't know, which was really strange! Where can he run? When Jinling was broken that day, he was still sitting in the dormitory, why did he suddenly disappear out of thin air?

October passed, November came, the north wind began to blow, the night was unbearable, and before I knew it, Ah Zhen ushered in his second winter in this strange and familiar world.

......Early in the morning, he was dressed in a white velvet silver mink, with a plush snow hat pressed on his head, rubbed his hands and stepped out of the king's tent, looked at the gloomy sky, and then swept his eyes to the soldiers and horses in the village, exhaled a puff of hot smoke and asked: "Should it snow?" ”

Cai Jingzhi's military uniform was also thickened, and the military hat on his head was also plush, and he stood beside Ah Zhen for a thousand years, and replied with a cold breath: "It's only the beginning of November, and it will be about half a month before it snows." ”

"I have to go back before the New Year." As he spoke, he gathered his warm cloak, and strode towards the dragon outside the village. When he came to the side of the dragon and saw the generals standing next to the horses, he said cautiously: "Now that we are facing Jin Liao, everyone must be extra careful, and we must capture Xingqing before the wolf soldiers." ”

"Yes!" All the generals responded in unison, and when the king entered the drive, Bai Zong waved and roared in front of his arm: "Open the ......"

"Hiss ......"

"Left and right pioneers open the way......"

"Towards Ying Tianfu ......"

With a large number of horses neighing, heavy weapons rattling, vehicles muffling and the roars of various generals, the mighty iron helmets and armor walked in the sand, and the huge army dragon drove towards the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom less than three hundred miles.

South of Western Xia, Kunwu Pass.

At dawn, the fields of Haotang were piled up around the pass, and the smoke of gunpowder had been burning for nearly an hour, and the strong leopard division of Jin Liao was in waves and waves, and one round after another fierce attack on the Kunwu, and the huge catapults squeaked and squeaked, and the roaring was carried by a storm of arrows, and the arrows were so dense that even the ants could not dodge.

Layers of bloody corpses are piled up around the Cuiwu Pass, the bloody corpses are stacked nearly three zhang high, countless Liao soldiers stepped on the backs of the dead brothers, holding long hook spears, and erected ladders to the sky.

The soldiers and horses on the front line were beating the gates, the roaring military drums were stinging in their eardrums, and Lan Ni'er, who was riding in the rear, turned pale, gritting her teeth and staring at the human purgatory in front of her. In less than half an hour, nearly 30,000 people died, and if this level is not broken today, the loss will be huge.

"Not too violent." Ah Qiuqiu hugged his chest, looked at the waves of death from afar, shook his head and turned his eyes to Lan Ni'er beside him and said, "The attack is too weak, if you don't strengthen it, I'm afraid you won't be able to take down Kunwu." ”

Lan Ni'er stared at the front line, and returned without turning her eyes: "I don't care about the war, you can do it yourself." ”

Seeing that she was so angry, Ah Qiuqiu raised his black eyebrows slightly, raised his thick arm and ordered: "Huernu, Aled, you all go up and push all the catapults forward three feet further, although the Kunwu Pass is filled and smashed." ”

"Yes!" The two non-mainstream generals who had been unhappy for a long time roared thunderously, and soon more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the six military fields rushed forward neatly, throwing stones and squeaking inch by inch, and they approached Kunwu, Jin Liao Nan'er is not afraid of death, and it is not a man who is afraid of death, but a lamb.

On the Kun Wu, Li Haomiao was blackened, the hot and cold sweat stains on his forehead were vivid, and when he was running around and roaring at the generals, the commander of the military division of Baimaqiang Town ran and shouted: "Lord, Lord, Lord......"

Suddenly hearing the shouting of the commander in charge of the north, Li Haomiao's heart trembled, and he turned around sharply and shouted, "What happened to the north stack?" ”

Behind the commander of the military department of Baimaqiang Town was a middle-aged eunuch, as soon as this eunuch arrived, he immediately knelt down towards Li Haomiao: "Lord, the king of Dali suddenly marched from Xiliang to Xingqing, and the emperor asked the prince to give up the Kunwu Pass and return to Xingqing to stick to the national capital." ”

"What?" Li Haomiao roared in fright, snatched the holy words in the hands of the eunuchs, glared angrily, the roots of his teeth cracked and broke, and he had to give an order to the three armies that were holding on: "After the Xiangqing army is broken, all military divisions will immediately withdraw with this king to stop the enemy." ”

"Yes." The Black Mountain Weifu Military Division, the Baima Qiang Town Military Division, Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division Qi Ying, all of them had black armor and sweat, and hurriedly followed Li Haomiao down the pass, and the dust flew to Xingqing Mansion to hold the last line.

Less than three moments after the 100,000 reinforcements were passed, Lan Ni'er saw that some soldiers and horses had climbed the ladder, and her cold face was relieved, and she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally attacked." ”

"Strange." Ah Qiuqiu looked at the gray Tianyu, and said very puzzledly: "It's not yet noon, why did you break the level?" ”

Da Da Da ......

"Report ......" Just when everyone was puzzled, a fast horse came from the front line in a hurry, and before he could stop, the letter soldier had raised his throat: "Li Haomiao and his three military divisions suddenly left Kuiwu, I don't know why. After the report, the horses that came made a semicircle in front of the generals, turned around and galloped forward to the battlefield in front of them.

As soon as the horse left before the "report ......", another fast horse arrived, and reported loudly: "The Western Xia army retreated sharply to Xingqing." ”

Lan Ni'er and Ah Qiuqiu heard these two reports, and they were silent and lowered their heads in thought. Extremely quickly, the two of them raised their heads at the same time at the same time, and roared in unison: "It's not good, Dali has marched into Xingqing, and it will start quickly." ”

Seeing that they had such a tacit understanding, Yelu Adada laughed a few times, raised the whip in his hand, and silently followed a large number of soldiers towards Kuiwu Pass. Li Haoyan's brother and his wife met Dali, the ruffian king, and they were destined to be unlucky!

Ah Zhen walked leisurely from Xiliang to Xingqing, and Lan Ni'er rushed from the south, and the soldiers and horses of the two countries were in a hurry and slow, and when they arrived, they met by chance.

Located on the huge basin plain outside the east gate of Xingqing, more than 600,000 soldiers are stationed in the west, more than 300,000 armor are stationed in the south, the two sides are more than 20 zhang apart from each other, the soldiers and horses of the two countries are as imposing as tigers, the military flags of different colors, the general flags, and the order flags are fluttering with the cold wind, and the atmosphere is suddenly abnormal bow and tightness.

Each other is a jackal, a tiger and a leopard, and each other is a brigade that can fight and bite, the temperature of Xingqing has dropped sharply, and even the air has formed frost, and the war is about to break out.
