The 30,000 iron hooves of the Liao army were sniped by the Song Dynasty on the north bank of the Wei River for two days and could not advance, and this kind of shame was the first time in the glorious combat history of the Great Liao Khitan.

It was not the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty that sniped the 30,000 iron horsemen of the Liao army, but a group of ordinary people, which is even more worth recalling.

The Wei River in Huazhou drove through the dragon boat of Emperor Yang of Sui to the south of the Yangtze River, and now it has become the first moat for the Empress Dowager Chengtian of Liao to attack Bianjing; I don't know if Emperor Yang of Sui in the dark took pity on the spirits of the people of the Central Plains Dynasty, or if God wanted to let the powerful Liao woman of Liao go unlucky.

In short, Xiao Yanyan's plan to surprise the city of Bianjing was in Baimajin, which had not yet reached the Yellow River; It was greatly obstructed on the Weihe River - Guangji Canal in Huaxian County.

The horse scouts reported that all the original bridges and pontoon bridges on the Wei River, which was 1,200 miles long from west to east, had been demolished.

Xiao Yanyan slammed the horsewhip in her hand on a bull's head stone under her feet, and ordered the generals Xiao Tzu Rin and Yelu Nugua to force the crossing on this section of the Wei River not far from Liyangjin - Baimajin.

30,000 iron hooves were grouped on the north bank of the Wei River, and Xiao Tzu Rin and Yelu Nugua formed several death squads to forcibly build bridges on the river in stages; But they were all beaten back by the Song Dynasty soldiers who were clustered on the south bank with firearms, bows and crossbows, earth-shaking thunder, and stone throwers.

The army and the people are united as one, trying to see who can be the enemy in the world; The patriotism of the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Song Dynasty is vividly demonstrated here.

A battle without rules and cards that do not follow common sense is so stuck.

The Liao army was helpless, and the 30,000 army had to set up camp; It is not possible to organize strong soldiers to swim across the river, and lay pontoon bridges in the river.

Over the past two days, countless pontoon bridges have been laid, but not a single one has been successful.

The 30,000 Liao army stared at the Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians on the other side of the river, but there were more and more people on the other side of the river.

The people who were one or two times more than the Liao army were summoned by the three brothers Wei Sheng, Wei Chun, and Wei Feng, and it seems a bit of an exaggeration to say that they summoned them; It should be said that the three brothers of the Wei family were summoned by Ma Yueming, the prefect of Huazhou, to be more appropriate.

The prefect of Huazhou and the people fought against the Khitan Tatars at the critical moment of life and death for the survival of their home and country, and such patriotic enthusiasm was remarkable.

The four brothers Wei Sheng, Wei Qi, Wei Chun, and Wei Feng, as well as Yu'er, Shui'er, Ying'er, and Xing'er, went out of the city to investigate the movements of the Liao army on the orders of Zheng Shuang, and they rode around the outer city of Bianjing. I didn't find anything, so I took a break in a tavern.

Not long after the four brothers of the Wei family sat down, they saw two tall men walk in; There was a foul smell on my body.

Xing'er had a sharp nose and immediately said to Wei Sheng: "Brother Sheng, this is a sheep. Disturb. Taste, the two men have smoked sheep on them. Disturb. As soon as he smelled it, he was a spy of the Liao Kingdom; We didn't find any movement of the Liao soldiers, and the two Liao army spies who caught them were also Amitabha! ”

Wei seemed to pick up Xing'er's words: "Miss Xing is right, Marshal Zheng Shuang said it when we came from Qijue Temple; Kou Xiangye's letter to General Xue mentioned that a small group of troops of the Liao army was making a commotion outside Bianliang City, and it was not clear that these two guys were detectives of small forces; Let's catch it! ”

As soon as Wei seemed to say this, Wei Sheng, Wei Chun, and Wei Feng were all alert; pressed the wrist-untying knife pinned to his waist and prepared to fight.

Yu'er hinted that the four brothers should not be reckless, saying that the two sisters stepped forward to test it.

The two of them exude sheep's swagger. The flavored men each asked for a bowl of braised noodles and ate them fragrantly, and the fish and water suddenly walked up to them and spoke in Khitan language.

Yu'er said that the two men must have come from Xijing Mansion, and Shui'er followed behind and said that the two sisters were Khitans who came to Bianliang to seek refuge with relatives and wanted to learn singing and dancing; But they lost their hopes that the two men would help them.

The two men listened to Yu'er and Shui'er speak Khitan and begged for help, and their hearts were very high; But he still kept his guard and pulled the sisters into trouble.

Yu'er and Shui'er used their incorruptible tongues to talk very speculatively with the two men, and said that they could live together at night.

When meeting fellow villagers in a foreign country and the beauty of the cave house, the two men said that they were scouts of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom; Come here to explore the reality of the Song army, and explore the way for the Empress Dowager Chengtian to conquer Bianjing.

When the fish and the water heard this, they became more and more charming with them.

The two sisters, Yu'er and Shui'er, could speak Khitan, which they learned at that time in Goulan Washegou in Yan'an Prefecture.

Yu'er's father is a military household, and there were already five women above before he was born, and his father hoped to give birth to a male Ding Dangui Langzhang; But the fish and water are still jasper, so they are unhappy in their hearts, and they are indifferent to the fish and water.

When the fish and water children were growing up, they often listened to the two neighbors next door talk about society.

The men in the two neighbors next door were scholars who had been to Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty; Talking about the prosperity of Bianliang and the openness of women in the capital and the story of self-reliance.

The fish and the water touched me a lot, and from then on, I wanted to do something on my own without relying on my parents.

The two neighbors next door also taught Yu'er and Shui'er to read and read books, and the two girls learned more about social knowledge and the customs and habits of the Central Plains and even Yidi.

The thriving entertainment industry in Beijing Bianliang was seen by Yu'er and Shui'er from the tabloids "Fun Facts of the Heavenly Empire" ordered by the two neighbors next door.

Yu'er and Shui'er learned from the tabloid "Celestial Empire Anecdotes" that Tokyo's dignitaries and wealthy businessmen all have private entertainment teams at home; For example, a kabuki who sings songs, a maiko who dances, a yuling who plays a play, and a storyteller.

When Yu'er and Shui'er were twelve years old, Yan'an Mansion also raised several Goolan Washe; There is a person named Chen Jihuang, whose father was the prefect of Fengxiang, and he turned out to be the major shareholder of Goolan Washe.

Chen Jihuang's family is very rich, he has several mansions in Jingzhao Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion, and Yan'an Mansion, and he has more than 30 Kabuki alone.

Chen Jihuang has a bold personality, is very self-respecting in his life, and is full of voice; It means that he knows how to enjoy it very much, and there are maids waiting for him when he eats; When drinking, there are kabuki to cheer up.

Yu'er and Shui'er also learned from the tabloid "Celestial Empire Anecdotes" that almost all the big and small officials in Tokyo have singers; Some high-ranking officials have been promoted to a wealthy position, and they build villas in the countryside to raise concubines; There are dozens of kabuki and maiko.

Concubines, kabuki, and maiko are all girls, and they can also sing and dance and be versatile; An official hires dozens of talented girls, so many high-ranking officials and so many big guys in the Song Dynasty; The total demand is staggering.

Yu'er and Shui'er told their fathers about the information they saw in the tabloids, and their fathers scolded them for being whimsical; said that the military household was inferior to the third class, and it was located in Yan'an Mansion at the border; The golden phoenix can't fly out of the chicken coop.

Daddy's abuse couldn't help but stop and drag back the two little girls Yu'er and Shui'er's impatient heart, and made the two of them want to take the road of entertainment even more.

Yu'er and Shui'er proposed to their father to learn kabuki and geisha, saying that the two of them were good-looking; If you go to a high-end song and dance hall to study for a while, you will definitely be able to earn a lot of money for your family.

Daddy ignored it, and Yu'er and Shui'er made up their minds and groped for their own way.

The two continued to read the tabloid "Celestial Empire Fun Stories" by the two neighbors next door, and knew that the extremely developed entertainment venues in Washer Goolan needed singers and maiko; And the Goolan Washe opened in Yan'an Mansion also needs singers and maiko, and the fish and water ask to join, and people say that they have no foundation in singing and dancing; It's hard to accept.

In the end, the boss named Chen Jihuang said: "The two sisters are very handsome, but they lack singing and dancing skills, and they will become famous singers and dancers with a little cultivation; It's best to learn a few more languages and go to the song and dance hall in Jingzhao Mansion for a few years to train, and learn Hu Dance, Western Regions Dance, and Ancient Dance will definitely become a red horn! ”

Yu'er and Shui'er listened to Chen Jihuang's words and asked someone to teach them Khitan and Uighur languages; Quickly become proficient.

Zheng Shuang sent their sisters and the four brothers who were like a spring breeze out to reconnoitre, thinking that the two of them knew Khitan language.

The reason why Zheng Shuang knew that Yuer and Shuier knew Khitan was that he joked with everyone on the way to Tokyo and used Khitan; It was damaged by the fish and the water.

Zheng Shuang knew several foreign languages: Khitan, Uighur, Persian, Arabic, Tangut, and Tibetan, and was very happy to find that the fish and water would speak Khitan; Putting them in handy when it matters.

Yu'er Shui'er talked to the two men, and it was confirmed that these two guys were the spies of the Liao army, so he glanced at the four brothers who were like a spring breeze.

Wei Sheng, Wei Qi, Wei Chun, and Wei Feng understood and immediately rushed up to capture the two Khitan Tartars and ask about the situation; Fang knew that the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State led an army of 200,000 to invade the south, and let Amo Strange Ability lead 30,000 troops to surround Suicheng and make an illusion to stabilize the Song army on the Hebei front; She led her army to avoid the Great Wall of Water and the underground passage from Baozhou to Jizhou, and went south along the eastern foothills of Taihang Mountain.

Wei Sheng finally asked where the Empress Dowager Xiao's army was at the moment? The Liao scouts said that they might have reached Liyang and were going to cross the Yellow River from Baimajin to Bianjing.

Wei Shengjian said that he asked Wei Bi and Yu'er, Shui'er, Ying'er, and Xing'er to escort the two Liao spies back to the city to report to Zheng Shuang, and he, Wei Chun, and Wei Feng rushed to Huazhou Mansion non-stop.

Seeing that the military situation was urgent, Ma Yueming, the prefect of Huazhou, summoned a cadre of officials from the government to prepare to resist; Wei Sheng said with a smile: "Is it a drop in the bucket for the prefect to do this, or can he mobilize the people to stop the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Empress Dowager Xiao!" ”

Ma Yueming listened to Wei Sheng's reasonableness, and ordered the government officials to go down separately to call on the people; The people of Huazhou responded to the call. Even the people near Puyang and Liyang also mobilized.

Wei Sheng, Wei Chun, Wei Feng and Ma Zhifu rode their horses north, and saw retreating forbidden soldiers along the way; After catching a few questions, he knew that the Liao army had arrived in Liyang, and the forbidden army could not resist and had to retreat.

Wei Sheng forced him to ask with a knife what checkpoint there was ahead to stop the Liao army, and an escaped forbidden army said that the Huazhou and Liyang rivers could slow down the pace of the Liao army.

Ma Zhifu immediately thought of the Wei River, saying that the Wei River was a section of the Sui and Tang Grand Canal in Huaxian County; It is fifty or sixty meters wide, and the water depth at the shallowest point is also three or four meters; If the temporary bridge on the river is quickly removed, it can completely block the Liao army's iron cavalry from moving south.

The three brothers, Wei Sheng, Wei Chun, and Wei Feng, discussed with the prefect Ma Yueming and Bao Zhengyi from several villages along the canal, and everyone agreed to do so; As a result, there was not a single bridge left on the surface of the Wei River, which was 1200 miles long from east to west.

After the bridge was dismantled, the Liao army rushed over; But what awaits them is the insurmountable river of Wei......
