Xu Zizhen looked at the mountain for a while and then slowly paced down the mountain, and happened to meet with the three hundred horse thieves who came to one place.

Bu Fen quipped: "You're in such a hurry to come to us, don't you plan to let us people go to Apricot Castle?" ”

Xu Zizhen got straight to the point, pointed to the apricot castle on the other side of the mountain and said, "Big brother, are you familiar with this place?" I want to know what is the situation of Lu Dao now, why is the Xia army outside the city, but there is not a single Song soldier in sight? ”

Bu Fen said with a smile: "I don't dare to say it, but there are few people who lead troops in Western Xia who don't know the details of the Dao, do you want to know the details of the Dao?" That's simple, my brother will give you a run. After speaking, he beckoned a few of his subordinates and asked Xu Zizhen to wait here, and he ran away in a blink of an eye.

Xu Zizhen and Liu Feng rested at the foot of the mountain, and the horse thieves brought him wine and food, and the two chatted while eating.

Liu Feng asked tentatively after taking a few sips of wine: "Big brother, you don't plan to sneak into the Apricot Castle to fight for the little seed minister, right?" ”

Xu Zizhen said: "I want to fight internally, but many of these summer soldiers in the city have seen my face, how easy is it to get in?" ”

Liu Feng was stunned: "That ......"

Xu Zizhen waved his hand: "I don't know what the situation is at the moment, I'll talk about it when Brother Bu comes back." ”

Liu Feng didn't say anything when he saw him, so he didn't ask anymore and continued to drink, but Xu Zizhen had no intention of drinking, and waited anxiously for Bu Fen's return.

The sky was still gloomy, and there was no sunshine in the morning, Xu Zizhen only felt that his mood was also driven by such weather, and he seemed restless, and waited from morning to noon, before Bu Fen returned to the same place.

"Big brother, how's it going?" Without waiting for Bu Fen to get off the horse, Xu Zizhen hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Bu Fen stepped off the horse with a smile: "Don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly." ”

Xu Zizhen smiled and handed over a pot of wine: "I'm sorry, I'm too anxious, big brother, you take two sips first and tell me slowly." ”

Bu Fen took it and poured it violently, reached out and wiped the corners of his mouth, and then spoke.

Apricot Fort is located in the southern end of the territory of Western Xia, and the Great Song Dynasty Jincheng Pass is far away, the distance is not more than 100 miles, a few days ago 100,000 troops killed the Jincheng Pass, but was blocked outside the pass, although there are the factors of the Jincheng Pass according to the mountain and guarding, but also has something to do with Xu Zizhen.

The vanguard general was killed, which was extremely demoralizing in the army, and the Western Xia army did not say that it was slumping, but it also lost the momentum of breaking through the pass in one go, and when they recovered and wanted to attack again, the Great Song Deshun army came to help defend.

I have to say that the division is definitely a Confucian general who is proficient in the art of war, although the number of the Deshun army is far less than the Western Xia army, but he simply pushed the Xia army outside the pass, and he can't move forward an inch.

The commander of the Western Xia army is a party nobleman, called Qian Size, this person has a close relationship with the Xiao family, but it is by no means a straw bag, it is said that he has loved the art of war since he was a child, and when he grew up, he started as a pawn in the army, and climbed to his current status step by step, without relying on the power of the family.

But it is such a general, in front of the division or suffered a loss, the Song army did not fight with them at all, but strange tricks emerged in endlessly, always when the Xia army came to attack they were taken by surprise, 30,000 Deshun army was divided into small teams, from time to time appeared in the weak place of the Xia army's flank, harassed and left, and when the Xia army reacted to catch up, it quickly disappeared.

The front army of Qian Size has encountered such a situation many times, and it seems that the hard attack is about to work, but the two wings of the army have been attacked, and if they ignore it and continue to attack, the Song army will be like a sharp knife to tear apart their front and rear soldiers, so that the front army will become a lone army, and will soon be swallowed up by the Song army occupying the main field.
