On the high ground, there are ravines and ravines, fences and fences are lined up, and arrow towers are erected on both sides of the trenches, and the ditches, the back of the fence and the arrow towers are full of Song soldiers.

On a watchtower, the Song army sentry looked into the distance, and found a few cavalrymen running from the cadre army, and immediately struck a gong and shouted, "The cadre army is coming!" ”

A cadre military captain led four cavalrymen to the bottom of the high ground with banners, and the two thousand Liu Song troops stationed on the high ground all looked at them nervously.

The commander of the military academy stopped, looked up at the high ground, and shouted in his voice, "Listen to the melon baby above, who is the principal, come out and answer!" ”

A middle-aged officer in his thirties looked at the military cadet below, turned around and climbed up an arrow tower, and he said loudly, "Join the army Chen Xian and lead all the soldiers here, wait for something to say quickly, and let go if you have a fart!" ”

The two thousand Song soldiers guarding here were laughed loudly by Chen Xian's words when they joined the army, and their expressions were much more relaxed, and they all coaxed, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go!" ”

The junior colonel of the Qianjun army gritted his teeth and said loudly, "I am Xia Mu, a junior colonel under the command of General Pingnan, and now I am here to advise General Chen on the order of my general, most of Shu has fallen into the hands of our army, and your country's reinforcements have been delayed, and it is a foregone conclusion that Bashu will be mastered by our army, no matter how you struggle, you can't reverse the defeat. ”

"The general of my family asked the colonel to tell Chen to join the army and the soldiers under his command, as the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, if you and others are sincere to our army, both officers and soldiers can be exempted, and they are all promoted to one level in the original military position, as for Chen to join the army, you can be appointed as the Taishou of Bajun, I don't know what you want?"

These Song generals who were left behind to block the cadres were unwilling, because everyone knew that staying was a dead end and there was no possibility of survival.

If you can't die, who wants to die?

At least the brains of the vast majority of the Song soldiers here are quite normal!

At this moment, a loud laugh spread from the Song army's position, "Hahaha······"

When the junior colonel of the Qianjun army under the high ground heard this unbridled laughter, he immediately became angry and shouted, "Why is Chen joining the army laughing? Could it be that the conditions given by my general are not generous enough? ”

Chen Xian laughed out of tears, he raised his sleeves and wiped his tears, and reprimanded loudly and angrily: "Just an official who is promoted to a level can be hired to let me put down my weapon and surrender?" The loyalty of my Chen Xian and all the soldiers is inevitably too low! ”

"You are the cadre army, we are the Song army, the two sides are their own masters, their positions are different, and it is understandable to conquer each other, but you and others are vainly trying to persuade us to surrender, it is too ridiculous! Although I Chen Xian and the generals are vulgar, but they also took the imperial court and military salaries, although they don't know etiquette, but they also know shame, we never know betrayal, only loyalty! We were born in the Great Song Dynasty, and we will die in the Great Song Dynasty! Surrender may be in exchange for being able to live, but that is just a life, humiliating groveling, living like a dog, I, Chen Xian, don't be the enemy's dog! Even if we want to die, we will die standing and never live on our knees! ”

Originally, because they saw the hope of life, the Song army was a little moved and wanted to surrender, but after hearing Chen Xian's words, they were ashamed to die one by one, and the blood in their hearts was awakened by Chen Xian.

"I'd rather die standing than live on my knees!" The soldiers of the Song army shouted with their weapons.

"Soldiers, robes, take your swords, guns, bows and arrows, and crucify me here, so as to win enough time for the main force of the army to withdraw! We may die, but even if we do, we will die for eternity! ”

The soldiers of the Song army were enthusiastic one by one, and the neat roars spread from the high ground to all directions, "kill, kill, kill ······"

In the distance, in front of the cadre army, Zhao Junsheng heard this voice, and couldn't help but be moved: "If you want to die, you will die and leave a name for eternity!" ”

Yang Lie next to him was also quite shocked, "Your Majesty, this person named Chen Xian still has a bit of courage, the person who can say this Hua is by no means a mediocre person, his words just made the Song army, who originally had no confidence in resisting, like a chicken blood, and his morale soared to the peak, but he turned out to be just a member of the army, is the Song court blind?" ”

Zhao Junsheng was stunned, "What do you say his name is?" ”

"Chen Xian, didn't he say it himself just now? What's the matter, Your Majesty? ”

Could it be that this Chen Xian was the right marching army that joined the army in history with a thousand defenders to resist the 42-day onslaught of Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao's 100,000 troops in the Hanging Gourd City?

Chen Xian's record in the original history can be said to be famous in the first war, but he only appeared in the history books, and his name has never appeared in the history books since then, nor has his ending been written, it stands to reason that people like Chen Xian can be famous all over the world with the results of that battle, but in fact, he quickly lost any news and lost any news in later generations, which is really incomprehensible.

"Oh, it's nothing, this Chen Xian is indeed not ordinary, I admire him very much, just listening to his tone and attitude just now, I'm afraid that he won't surrender no matter what, it's a pity!"

Some people attribute Yue Wumu's death to his own foolish loyalty, but if Yue Wumu does not obey the edict and does not teach the class, but stirs up rebellion or supports the army to respect himself, then he is not Yue Wumu, at most he is just a famous general with few defeats, but he puts life and death out of the way, it is precisely because of his foolish loyalty that he will be respected and admired by the past generations, and future generations will respect him as Grandpa Yue! On the loyal servant of the country, who can surpass him in the past generations?

Yang Lie nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, do you pull out this nail first, or ······?"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a moment and said, "Leave a thousand-man team nearby to contain Chen Xian and the two thousand Song troops under his command!" The others followed me to pursue Li Dan's main force! ”

"Yes!"

Yang Lie hugged his fists and agreed to make arrangements immediately, a team of 1,000 people stayed, and Zhao Junsheng continued to pursue the main force of the Song army with the remaining 4,800 horsemen.

The 1,000 cavalry that had been left behind retreated some distance, leaving half of them to monitor the Song army on the high ground, and the other half began to set up camp.

This scene was seen by Chen Xian in his eyes and anxious in his heart.

A general next to him asked Chen Xian, "Chen joined the army, it seems that the cadres didn't take us seriously at all, what should we do now?" ”

Chen Xian thought for a while and ordered, "Don't worry, the general of the cadre army left these thousand cavalry to contain us, and when they solve the main force of our army, they will come to clean us up, we can't do what they want!" But it's daylight now, so it's inconvenient to do things, so I'll wait until after night! ”

"Understood!"

Zhao Junsheng led 4,800 cavalry to chase Li Dan's main force of the Song army, and after Li Dan left Chen Xian's 2,000 men and horses, there were only more than 6,000 people left.

When he arrived at Shen Shizheng, Zhao Junsheng's cavalry was about to catch up with Li Dan's army, and Li Dan's guard post behind the rear hall quickly reported to him after discovering the cavalry of the cadre army that had caught up.

"General Qiyu, the cavalry of the cadre army brigade has caught up!"

Li Shan frowned, "The cadres didn't care about Chen Xian's 2,000 people, and they caught up directly?" Isn't he afraid that the back road will be cut off? ”

An official next to him said, "General, the general of the cadre army should not be so unwise, and his subordinates guess that they must have left some men and horses to contain Chen Xian's department, and the main force will continue to pursue our army!" ”

Li Shan immediately asked the scouts behind the palace, "How many cadres are there in the army?" How far is it from our army? ”

"General Hui, there are nearly 5,000 people, no more than fifteen miles away from our army!"

Li Dan felt the tremendous pressure, he only had 6,000 infantry, and the cavalry of the Qianjun army still had 5,000, even if he faced him head-on, he had little chance of winning.

After thinking for a while, Li Shan decided to leave a part of his troops to block the attack again, so as to let the main force escape, he turned his head to look at the generals and subordinates around him, and asked, "Judging from the current situation, the cadres will definitely be able to catch up with our army before dark, we must leave some people to block the cadres, as long as we hold on until dark, our army will be able to escape the pursuit of the cadres at night, I don't know which one is willing to stay and block the cadres?" ”

The generals bowed their heads one by one and remained silent, and it was obvious that no one here wanted to stay.

Li Shan was very angry when he saw this, "There is a Chen Xian under the command of the general who volunteered to stay and block the enemy army, what's the matter, I can't find a responsible person under Li Dan's command?" ”

The subordinates were even more ashamed and their faces turned red.

"As the general said just now, as long as we hold out until dark, the cadres will not dare to attack again, they will definitely withdraw, the people who stay will not necessarily die, they can quickly catch up with us after dark, and then we will get rid of the pursuit of the cadres at night, and arrive at Longquan Mountain before dawn, as long as we reach Longquan Mountain and occupy the pass, we will be safe!"

"Those who stay and lead the team to stop the enemy army will be promoted to one level, and they will be rewarded with 1,000 acres of fertile land, 100,000 gold, 100,000 money, and 100 pieces of cloth!"

There will be brave men under the reward!

Finally, someone stood up and hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates are willing to lead the army to stay and stop the cadres!" ”

Li Shan saw that it was Mao Jianping, and immediately said, "Okay, Ben will give you a thousand people, and you will be promoted to the next level first, and other rewards, whether you can survive or not, Ben will send someone to your home!" If you die in battle, you will definitely report to the court to give you generous compensation! ”

Mao Jianping clenched his fists and promised, "Thank you, General!" ”

Li Shan immediately allocated 1,000 people to Mao Jianping, and quickly retreated in the direction of Longquan Mountain with the remaining 5,000 people.

Mao Jianping knew that time was pressing, and he quickly ordered his soldiers to dig trenches, cut down trees to make horses, fences, and arrow towers around the main road, and strive to deploy the fortifications before the arrival of the cadres.

This fortification happened to be built on a communication artery, and if the cadres wanted to pursue the main force of the Song army, they had to capture it first, otherwise they would have to make a detour, which would take more time.

At dusk, Zhao Junsheng's nearly 5,000 cavalry arrived in front of the fortifications built by Mao Jianping.

Zhao Junsheng observed that the other party's fortifications were built too hastily, perhaps because of the lack of tools and time, and it was still too far from a real fortification, so he immediately ordered, "While the enemy's fortifications have not yet been built, pass the order to go down, take a short rest, and launch an attack in a moment!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
