"Eight thousand?" Xu Zizhen gasped, this gap is too big, right? Even if each person deals with ten Western Xia soldiers, the opponent's manpower can still be rich, at least enough to dismantle their own pass, and the Western Xia people have always been fierce and brave, plus the important factor of war horses, this battle is useless.

It's just that he suddenly thought of a question: "No, how can this Jincheng Pass be a border fortress, how can it only be that there are only 8,000 defenders?" You've fooled me, haven't you? ”

Jin Yuxi said: "There are indeed only eight thousand, and there are 30,000 defenders in Lanzhou City, but Jincheng Pass is afraid that it will not be able to hold it, and Lord Wen is waiting for the Deshun army to come to help, he wants to give up the pass and retreat to Lanzhou, and then lead the enemy deep into the country and encircle and annihilate the Western Xia army with the Deshun army." ”

Xu Zizhen shook his head and said: "I don't think it's so simple, the Xixia people are not stupid birds, this routine must have been thought of a long time ago...... Forget it, let's go back first. ”

Knowing that there were 30,000 defenders in Lanzhou, his heart finally collapsed, but there was still a big difference between 30,000 and 100,000 after all, so he was thinking about how to help Lord Wen win this battle.

Walking all the way down Gaolan Mountain, there was a mountain gap not far ahead, Jin Yuxi told him to enter the gap to the left is Jincheng Pass, but Xu Zizhen stopped.

"I want to go up the mountain and have a look."

Jin Yuxi was stunned: "There is a flat river in front of Jincheng Pass, you can naturally see it when you return to the pass, so why bother to climb the mountain?" ”

Xu Zizhen smiled: "It's always good to see the overall situation first." After saying a word, he didn't say a word, and the horse went up the mountain road, and Jin Yuxi had no choice but to follow.

Today's weather is very good, although the west wind is tight but a clear sky, the visibility is very high, Xu Zizhen climbed the mountain and followed the mountain road to the west, looking at it from a high distance.

On the left side of the mountain is a majestic pass, the gate is closed and the suspension bridge is hung high, and on the right is an extremely open flat land, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and on this flat land is neatly arranged a large number of black pressed soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to see how many people there are at a glance.

Xu Zizhen had participated in the so-called 10,000-person Games when he was in school before, but the scene at that time was nothing compared to now, and it couldn't be compared at all.

He settled down and asked, "Are all their 100,000 soldiers and horses here?" How do I feel less so? ”

Jin Yuxi said: "This is only the former army of Western Xia, about 20,000, and the left and right roads and the Chinese army have not yet arrived." ”

Xu Zizhen nodded: "Well, I understand, this is a striker." After speaking, he didn't say anything, frowned and groaned, and suddenly said after a while, "Xiao Jin, you take Qiaoyi back to the customs first, and Xiao Meng and I will go to do something." ”

Jin Yuxi was stunned, and before he came back to his senses, Kou Qiaoyi's face changed greatly, and he said urgently: "Son, no!" ”

Xu Zizhen couldn't help but secretly admire Kou Qiaoyi's intelligence, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, since I dare to do it, I am naturally sure." After speaking, he turned back to Li Meng and smiled, "Xiao Meng, can you still speak Xixia dialect?" ”

Li Meng was stunned and said, "Yes." ”

Xu Zizhen looked at the black sea of people and chuckled: "There is a type of army called the Martial Arts Engineer Team behind the enemy, which means that it is specially used to stir up peace in the rear of the enemy to hit the enemy's morale, Xiao Meng, do you dare to go with me to the rear of the Western Xia soldiers to stir up?" ”

Li Meng immediately understood, and shouted loudly: "Uncle, I dare!" ”

Jin Yuxi came to her senses at this time, and suddenly became anxious: "Brother Xu, are you crazy?" That's 20,000 horses, and if they find out......"

Xu Zizhen waved his hand and said categorically: "That's it, you take Qiaoyi back to the customs first." ”

His tone was very resolute and could not be questioned, Jin Yuxi was angry and anxious, he wanted to persuade but didn't know how to persuade him, but he saw Kou Qiaoyi gritted his teeth and nodded: "Childe, be careful." ”

Xu Zizhen smiled and showed his arrogance: "It should be the Xixia soldiers who should be careful, Xiao Meng, go!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he urged the horse to rush out of the mountain and went straight to the bottom of the mountain, Li Meng was so excited that his little face turned red, and he followed with a whistle.

Jin Yuxi couldn't pull it even if she wanted to, so she couldn't help but look at Kou Qiaoyi and complained: "Miss Qiaoyi, why don't you persuade Brother Xu?" ”

Kou Qiaoyi looked at Xu Zizhen's distant back, and said faintly: "Childe's temperament is like this, what's the use of me persuading him, it's better to go back to the customs and wait for him according to what Childe said, I ...... I believe that Childe will be safe and sound. ”

Jin Yuxi stomped his feet and said, "But that's 20,000 soldiers and horses...... Alas! Forget it, you go back to the customs with me first, I'll tell the adults first, and see what the adults can do to save you. ”

……

Xu Zizhen took Li Meng all the way to the north, this is already the place where the Song and Xia met, and the mountain valley in front of them is the place where the former army of the Western Xia army was stationed, they just approached the mountain valley, and suddenly rushed out from the side of several soldiers, leather clothes and hats, it was the Western Xia soldiers, holding long knives to surround the two of them, and one of the leading soldiers muttered a few words and asked something.

Li Meng didn't need to greet him, and replied in Xixia with a frightened face: "Ladies and gentlemen, the villain and my uncle went to the Song Realm to do some business, and now they are about to go home, so please ask the military master to make it convenient." Then he took out a piece of silver from his bosom and put it into the soldier's hand.

The soldier looked at the two suspiciously, and saw that the answer was a half-grown child, with a round tone in Xixia language, not like a fake, and the other was Baijing Siwen, although he was dressed as a Song person, but his head was short hair.

In these years, the Song people pay attention to the body hair and skin by their parents, even if it is a sin to cut their hair short casually, Xu Zizhen has shaved his head since the last time he pretended to be a monk, and now he has only grown a short layer.

The soldier looked around and didn't find any clues, waved his hand to make the others put away their knives, and said to Li Meng: "Don't run to the Song Realm recently, otherwise you will have a life to make money, and I am afraid that you will not have a life." ”

Li Meng smiled and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the villain will go home and not come out again." ”

The team of soldiers separated the way for the two to pass, Xu Zizhen pretended to be panicked and shrunk and walked, just halfway through, and suddenly shouted: "Xiao Meng, do it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a choked knife was already in his hand, Xu Zizhen was prepared to fight unprepared, how could the team of Xixia soldiers be wary of the two of them suddenly bursting out, and before they could react, two people's heads had already landed, and the one who reacted quickly was just about to open his mouth and shout, Li Meng was hit by a flying stone, either a mouth or a brain, simple and direct.

In just a moment, this team of sentry Xixia soldiers had been quietly wiped out by the two of them, and they were lying on the ground.

Xu Zizhen got off the horse and looked around, and said to Li Meng: "Find two people who haven't seen blood, change clothes." ”
