In the official history, after the southern invasion of the Jin army, the Zhulu Prefecture in the north of the Yellow River fell, and led the righteous army to bravely resist the enemy for two years, and experienced more than 200 battles of all sizes. And Yi is the name of Li Yanxian, Xiao Tang is also very clear.

The traitors who troubled the dynasty are not necessarily a nest of snakes and rats, forming an alliance of national thieves with each other and holding hands with righteousness to do things that lack virtue, and the relationship between the famous and fierce generals who resist the gold and the common enemy in the face of misfortune may not all be very harmonious. Although Li Xiaozhong, who admires martial arts and righteousness, is indeed blind to Li Gang's attitude, but judging from Li Xiaozhong's heroic life and deeds of going to difficulties for the country, he also deserves to be called a fierce and unyielding heroic figure. ”

Li Xiaozhong's face showed surprise when he heard this, and he immediately said: "Isn't this Xianggong the one who is praised as Ren Xia by people on the road, Hebei Hu Baoyi, and Xiao Tang Xiao Renxia, who was called the face of Ni Langjun in the army in the past?" ”

Hearing Li Xiaozhong say this, at this time, Hua Rong, Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Jiasui and other brothers who also paced to the left of Xiao Tang also looked at each other and smiled, Niu Gao grinned even more, and said happily: "My brother is not Xiao Renxia, which one else?" My brother is famous all over the world, and the heroes on the road are all ordinary when they hear about their names. ”

Li Xiaozhong listened to it and said happily: "It is said that there is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but there is no chance to meet on the other side!" Although the villain lives in the west, he is the most happy to marry the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and he is a strange man who teaches the world to be a good man who has heard the righteous friends on the road for a long time and Xiao Renxia who has sent his widow thousands of miles away, kills the evil thief on the long street, and lives quickly, and he is a strange man who teaches the world to be respectful! God is fortunate to make the little brother meet Ren Xia, and he was rescued by all the ministers in time, it is after the great calamity, I hope to be blessed! ”

Xiao Tang listened to Li Xiaozhong although he led a group of volunteers to resist the Xia army here, and his behavior was reckless, and then he heard Li Xiaozhong say that he not only made good friends with heroes, walked around horses, rode and archery, and fought martial arts, because he lived in the cool land of Ganlong and Yongliang, he often led some people to travel north to observe the situation of the mountains and rivers, and looked at the nomadic herding of the Xia people's party departments, sometimes because of the Xia people's entry into the country, or disputes between the Song and Xia nomads on the border, Li Xiaozhong also took the opportunity to lead the people to fight with the Xia tribe and grab some good horses to come back.

It seems that Li Xiaozhong's family background is somewhat similar to his brother Shi Jin, the nine-tattooed dragon, but although the two of them are both rangers, they are good at martial arts and make good friends, but Shi Jin is looking for people to compete with guns and sticks, or gather the villagers to tie their clothes and armor, and rectify their swords and horses to guard against thieves, but this Li Xiaozhong is taking advantage of the proximity of the Ganlong realm and the Xia realm, and he went to the border to find the nomadic real knives and guns of the Xia people when he had nothing to do......

Due to the continuous wars between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia in the northwest, the Great Song Dynasty military system "competed with each other for the town soldiers of the states, and distributed them to the envoys, and the Japanese army was selected from the household registration or recruitment, so that they could be united and trained, thinking that if they were defending, they would be said to have township soldiers and Fan soldiers", it seems that Li Xiaozhong, although there is no forbidden officer, but he commanded a group of township troops to resist the Xia army is also very common in the northwest border, and there are many names of township soldiers from all walks of life, and the establishment is not uniform, or according to the command, capital, or according to the first, team, or according to the sequence of the capital, the big security, and the security. Because Li Xiaozhong was also from a large local family, he learned about the Sichuan Plains and the situation, and he was skilled in martial arts and good at studying the art of war, and the more than 2,500 villagers under his command were also quite famous in several nearby military states. It's just that Li Xiaozhong said to Xiao Tang that the Xia army came suddenly, and the officers and soldiers under the rule of the Zhenrong army were not well garrisoned, and it was even more difficult to resist. If it weren't for Li Xiaozhong's insight into the situation of the battle, and immediately led his subordinates to retreat to the dock wall in time, I am afraid that he would have been intercepted by the Xia army half a month ago and the whole army would have been wiped out.

After Li Xiaozhong roughly told Xiao Tang about the battle situation under the rule of the Zhenrong army after the Xia army broke through Xiao Pass, Wang Jin rode forward and said: "Jie Shuai, now that we have temporarily repelled the Xia thieves who entered the country to plunder, our army must also rectify the general rest, in order to recapture the dangerous pass of Xiao Pass. ”

Xiao Tang nodded slowly, and said leisurely: "Yes... After all, our army is not just from the siege of various counties and towns under the rule of the Zhenrong army, although it temporarily repelled the soldiers and horses of the Xia army, but now the enemy army guarding Xiaoguan must have also learned the news that our troops have arrived at this time......"

Li Xiaozhong led the township to defend this dock wall on all sides with loess bricks to build the rammed earth city wall is slightly more than one zhang five heights, than the ordinary Zhuangyuan market town surrounded by the walls on all sides are much higher, the battlements on the head of the city, the female wall, the horse face, and the four sides of the city arrow tower are all available. It is also thanks to Li Xiaozhong's courage to fight to the death in the countryside, and the dock wall here is relatively well defended, and it has not been broken by the Xia army's fierce attack for several days.

Around the dock wall, although the corpses everywhere have been buried and burned by Jun Jian Xiangyong, black smoke is still rising from the aftermath of the war. The bricks and beams of many of the houses in the dock wall were used as rolling logs and stones to throw at the enemy during the defense of the city, and they were also torn down to pieces, making it even more desolate.

In addition to the township brave volunteers under Li Xiaozhong, there are nearly 1,000 Song people in ragged clothes and thin faces. Seeing that the Song army brigade was killed, and all the soldiers of the Xia State who were like wolves and tigers were dispersed, these people cheered, and some of them bowed to the officials and soldiers of Xiao Tang's department, and knelt on the ground to silently recite the blessing of the Bodhisattva gods...... Although there were only more than a thousand people, all kinds of voices converged in one place for a while, and it seemed like a turbulent wave and thousands of horses roaring in unison, echoing in the dock wall.

As for the Song people who were captured from the surrounding counties, towns and villages when the Xia army attacked the dock wall, and were escorted to the front to fill in their lives...... Li Xiaozhong also bluntly said to Xiao Tang that at that time, he had to be relieved of his wrist by a strong man, and the overall situation was important, otherwise if it was because of the kindness of a woman for a while, not only the dawn outside the city that had fallen into the hands of the Xia army, I am afraid that more than 3,000 lives in the dock wall would have been killed at this time. When Li Xiaozhong said this, he couldn't help but pour blood into his pupils again, gritted his teeth, and couldn't wait to immediately lead his troops out to find the Xia army to fight and vent his anger.

Xiao Tang comforted Li Xiaozhong on the one hand, and on the other hand, he ordered his subordinates to camp outside the dock wall, and sent light cavalry scouts to scout and guard the mountain roads on all sides, and the rest of the horse soldiers took off their bridles and saddles to brush their horses and invigorate their blood. Although the population stationed in the dock wall is limited, the meat reserves are also abundant, and the people present various local specialties such as Zhenzi noodles, mutton steamed buns, and miscellaneous soup to Xiao Tang's subordinate soldiers, and the share is limited, and they also teach Niu Gao and Yao Pingzhong to be the first to rush to the aid of the dock wall The light cavalry soldiers were full of food, and they ate extremely sweet.

In the main hall in the dock wall, Li Xiaozhong asked Xiao Tang for help and said that he was familiar with the surrounding terrain and terrain, and he had also fought with the Xia army for a long time, and he would be able to be of great use under Xiao Tang's command, and Xiao Tang groaned slightly, and said to Li Xiaozhong: "Brother Xiaozhong, I see that you are a dignified man who is brave and brave and does not avoid swords, you are a Baoyi villager but have no official status, I have the intention to recruit you and your subordinates to temporarily obey orders in front of my tent, and wait for the country to make some military achievements." I joined you to get an official in the army, not only what do you want? ”
