Chapter 50: The Battle of Flying Fox Valley (Part I) (A chapter was sent at noon, don't miss it, hehe)
in the back garden.
Qiqiao said that the boss made a call, only to remember that this was at someone else's house, and said with a smile: "Xianggong knows that we have arrived?" ”
Wu Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm not Zhuge Liang, how did I know you would come here?" ”
Qiqiao grinned and glanced at the third sister a few times: "Then the husband is here to find the third sister?" The words are right, but from Qiqiao's mouth, I don't know how the taste has changed, Wu Zhi's old face turned red, and he glared at Qiqiao: "Not bad!" ”
Hu Sanmei had been paying attention to the words of several people, and when she heard that Wu Zhi was looking for herself, she was in good spirits, stood up and said, "Master Wuzhuang...... What is the matter with your king's search for the people's daughter? ”
Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Naturally, it is a military event, is Miss Hu willing to contribute to the imperial court?" There are no women in the forbidden army! ”
Hu Sanmei was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head: "The people's daughter only wants to protect her homeland, and she has never had the idea of joining the army......"
Wu Zhi couldn't imagine her refusal, and was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong with contributing to the country?" ”
Jin Lian pinched Wu Zhi's hand that was still making trouble, and smiled at the third sister Hu: "Sister, are you willing to contribute to your king?" ”
Third Sister Hu looked at Jin Lian, and finally nodded lightly after being silent for a long time: "Yes!" ”
Wu Zhi looked at the third sister in surprise, and then turned his head to look at Jin Lian, Jin Lian smiled proudly, and said in Wu Zhi's ear: "Xianggong is not strange, Jin Lian wants to take care of the family affairs for Xianggong, so naturally she has to find out the temperament of her sisters." ”
Wu Zhixin said that even so, it can't be related to Hu Sanmei, is it inertia that makes Jin Lian wonder about other people's tempers when she sees a woman?
Qiqiao was attached to Xuan Jing's ear and said, "Sister Xuan Jing." You have to learn from this little girl. Look at how simple people are! Xuan Jing shook her head, she didn't know what it was like in her heart, but people were different, if Xuan Jing was asked to admit her heart like the third sister Hu, she couldn't do it.
Qiqiao looked at Xuan Jing and nodded thoughtfully, as if he had made up his mind.
After Hu Sanmei said "willing", it was like removing the shackles. There was a brisk feeling in his heart, and he smiled at Jin Lian to show his gratitude.
Although Wu Zhi gradually got used to the atmosphere of this era, he was still a little embarrassed, so he had to change the topic: "The Liao people will definitely attack in a few days, I want to borrow your help, this time I will teach the Liao people a lesson!" ”
Hu Sanmei nodded and said, "Say it, I'll listen to you!" ”
Qiqiao smirked, somehow a little smug in his heart. This proud girl in a white dress looks so cold and unapproachable, isn't she turning into a finger twister in front of her husband? After taking a few glances at Wu Zhi, is his vision quite clever?
Jin Lian was afraid that the third sister would not be able to hold it on her face, so she smiled and said, "Okay, okay." Let's sisters, don't disturb each other to talk about business, let's go, go to Zhuangzi for a walk. ”
Qiqiao smiled and said: "Yes, yes, don't disturb people to talk about business, it's ...... gone" The words "business" were accented, and he made a grimace at Wu Zhi and Hu Sanmei: "You guys talk slowly...... Don't worry......"
Xuan Jing reluctantly pulled Qiqiao out, and Qiqiao said angrily: "What, I haven't finished talking yet......" The voice gradually faded away.
Wu Zhi smiled: "Qiqiao has this temper. Don't care! ”
Hu Sanmei said: "How come? She's lovely...... You sit! Seeing that Wu Zhi had been standing, and the third sister had moved over the soft pier, Wu Zhi couldn't help but laugh when she saw her bending over to move the seat, letting this cold girl in a white dress do this kind of subordinate work, how to look at it and feel nondescript.
Hu Sanmei put down the soft pier, looked up and saw Wu Zhi looking at her, the smile on her face was very strange, and she said in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”
Wu Zhi smiled: "It's okay. ”
The two sat down, and the third sister said, "I didn't think you were the king, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
Wu Zhi said: "Didn't I tell you now?" Go back and tell me a few words, don't reveal my identity, lest the Liao people retaliate against Wujiazhuang. ”
Hu Sanmei nodded and said, "Well, I naturally save it." ”
Wu Zhi only then talked to Hu Sanmei about the strategy of fighting against the Liao, and the two kept talking for more than half an hour, before Wu Zhi got up and said goodbye, not long after Wu Zhi left, the princess and her party also left Hujiazhuang and went around Wujiazhuang.
Flying Fox Valley is a valley, the terrain is dangerous, it is the throat of the north and south, from Zhending Mansion to Liao, if not Flying Fox Valley, you have to go to the west of the river, the Northern Song Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the Liao Dynasty Tian Chongjin is to lead the army from Zhending Mansion to take Flying Fox Valley into the Liao realm, it can be seen that Flying Fox Valley is really the Liao and Song Dynasty must fight for the place, now Flying Fox Valley is the land of Liao, out of Flying Fox Valley dozens of miles can enter the Song realm.
The Liao soldiers also have military horses stationed here, called the Flying Fox Village, and now the Zhizhai is the deputy general of the Liao State Forbidden Army in Nanjing, Wu Yanguang, the subordinate of Aliqi.
The Flying Fox Village is in the south of the Flying Fox Valley. It is a cottage set up on a low mountain, the south of this low mountain is the plain, from the low mountain to look at a few miles, it is the outpost of the Liao army, dozens of tents are set up in the village, for the soldiers to rest, the tall tent in the center is naturally the residence of Zhizhai Aliqi.
In the Flying Fox Village on this day, the gongs and drums sounded in unison, Aliqi sat on the tiger skin chair, sang the wine, looked at the several women dancing in the tent, and was very happy. This guy is really short-lived!
Aliqi is straightforward and fast-talking, and he can't see the arrogance of the nobles, and he has repeatedly clashed with Yeluguang when he was in the Nanjing camp, and he can't send Aliqi to Feihu Village Renzhizhai with a beautiful face, but also to protect Aliqi, so as not to be retaliated by Yeluchun. Otherwise, how would Wu Yanguang's subordinates Ai Jiang come to make this little eight-grade Zhizhai?
A few days ago, when he heard that Yeluguang was killed, Aliqi was so excited that he got drunk that night, and these days he sang every day, making several Song women dance and have fun. Although the military regulations are not allowed, but the Flying Fox Village is located on the border of the Liao and Song Dynasties, and the successive Zhizhai is also like this, from time to time to catch a few Song women for fun, in recent years, the defense of the three villages has become more and more tight, the Flying Fox Village is willing to seek far, and began to attack several Zhuangzi in the East, and each time it can be fully loaded.
Aric was drinking happily. Outside the tent, a soldier suddenly said, "General." There is a team of Song people under the cottage, who seem to be merchants, and there are more than a dozen carriages carrying goods, and they are about to enter Feihuyu. ”
Aliqiqi said: "Song people? How so? Come in and talk! "In recent years, the relationship between Song and Liao has been tense, and it is no longer like in previous years that there were always caravans coming and going to each other.
Aliqi waved his hand, the song and dance stopped, the curtain was raised, and a small school ran in. Kneeling on one knee and falling to the ground: "General, there are more than 100 people in the Song Dynasty, most of them are carrying weapons, and it seems that the goods are very valuable." ”
Aliqi took a sip of wine and said, "Go and give the order, arrest me and let me question!" ”
Xiao Xiao hesitated slightly, and Aliqi glared: "What?" ”
The little colonel said with a sad face: "The little lands have already moved, who knows that these Song people are very tight, killed and injured several brothers, and sneered at the Khitan officers and soldiers are bandits and so on......"
Aliqi was furious. There was a slam on the table, the flask overturned, and the wine flowed all over the table.
"Wait for me to kill these Song people! So fierce! It must be a thief who trafficks in smuggled goods, and he doesn't know how to honor us, but he is not ashamed. I really don't know whether to live or die! ”
After speaking, he turned around and entered the back tent, and when he came out, he was already neatly dressed, carrying a thirty-six pound mountain knife in his hand, and he was murderous and vacated out of the handsome camp, the horn sounded, the Liao soldiers hurriedly gathered, there were nearly a thousand soldiers in the Flying Fox Village, and Aliqi ordered five hundred soldiers. He opened the gate of the village and went down the mountain to kill.
The Song caravan seemed to have discovered the Liao soldiers, and hurriedly accelerated and quickly entered the Flying Fox Valley.
Aliqi sneered a few times, and the horse chased after him, followed by dozens of cavalrymen, and the rest were foot soldiers, running wildly behind.
Aliqi with dozens of horsemen just chased into the Flying Fox Valley, suddenly heard a bang, random arrows flew like rain, Aliqi was taken aback, the machete flew up and down, dialed a few arrows shot at his own ground, but the cavalry behind him was not so lucky, more than a dozen people fell off the horse in the scream, Ali Temple shouted angrily: "Bold Song people! Dare to hurt my son! "With his legs between the horse's belly, the red dates and horse arrows rushed towards the Song people.
The Song archers lined up behind the truck, and the arrows came in rounds, Aliqi just rushed a few steps, and was forced to retreat, and the red jujube horse was even more mournful, and the left leg was hit by an arrow, and the blood was gushing out, Aliqi was so angry, at this time, the Liao people rushed to the scene, and Aliqi shouted angrily: "Kill me clean!" ”
Liao soldiers have a round shield to protect themselves, holding a knife in one hand, shouting and rushing over, the other party saw that he was invincible, dropped the goods and fought and retreated, at this moment, the flying fox village suddenly sounded in unison, Aliqi was stunned, he cherished the war horse, he had already jumped off the red date horse, heard the gong in the village seemed to be attacked, quickly walked out of the flying fox valley to look at the past, couldn't help but be so angry that he almost vomited blood, he saw hundreds of Song people were besieging the flying fox village, look at their dress, obviously the village soldiers, Aliqi is depressed, I have never heard of a village soldier dare to provoke the Liao army, What's more, this is in the territory of Liao, under the rule of his own Aliqi, it is not shameful enough to spread out, how can he be regarded as a famous fierce general in Liao, who knows that the previous Zhizhai has not encountered all the things that he has encountered!
He roared angrily: "All the sons! Kill these Song dogs with me first! "Led the crowd of foot soldiers to the Song people rushed over, the Liao people in the Flying Fox Village saw that the village was killed, and also opened the door of the village to kill, the Flying Fox Village mountain road suddenly shouted to kill the sky, Aliqi cut down several township soldiers, next to the sudden jump out of a man with a knife, the knife was cut, Aliqi waved a knife, "ding" a loud sound, Aliqi even took a few steps back, couldn't help laughing: "Good strength!" ”
The man also took a few steps back, and then pounced again, his sword was very fierce, Aliqi cheered up, fought with him, and was fighting to a good place, suddenly heard the sound of the gong of the lookout post in the village sounded quickly, which was the signal to find the Song people's team.
Aliqi is so angry, where did the village soldiers come from to withdraw from the wilderness? Just after the thought, I suddenly heard the soldier on the sentry platform shouting: "Song Qi!" There is Song Ride! ”
Aliqi was stunned for a moment, but at this time the fight was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to think about it, the opponent's knife technique was extremely brave, and he would die if he was not careful, and he was fighting with the other party, and suddenly heard the roar of the horse's hooves, Aliqi was stunned, his eyes glanced slightly, and he couldn't help but be covered with cold sweat immediately, and he saw the Song cavalry not far away, and the Sensen spear in his hand was cold and shining, and at this time, the man who was fighting with himself jumped out of the circle, whistled in his mouth, and the village soldiers began to retreat slowly.
Aliqi finally understands the intentions of the Song people now, and the real intention of the people is to take down the Flying Fox Village silently. I have a fast horse in my own flying fox village. If the Song army brigade comes directly to attack, it will be discovered by the sentry card as soon as possible, and then it will naturally report to Nanjing, and the other party will first use the cargo team to lure the enemy, and send the township soldiers to entangle in front of the village, just not to let their own Zhizhai react, send a fast horse to report the news.
looked at the more than 100 corpses thrown down by the Song people's township soldiers. Aliqi was puzzled, why did the Song army suddenly provoke, even if they wanted to take the Flying Fox Village, they only needed to send this large group of cavalry, why let the villagers die in vain? The only explanation is that I don't want the Flying Fox Village to send out a message, but what's the use of this, Nanjing will naturally know that the Flying Fox Village was attacked by the Song people in a few days, so why make it so sneaky?
Suddenly, Aliqi had a flash of inspiration, and thought of a possibility, and a cold sweat suddenly wet his whole body. The Song people wouldn't have such a big guts!
Snorted coldly, no matter what tricks you have, I just need to report the information to Nanjing! Looking at the foot soldiers strangled with the Song cavalry, Aliqi jerked down the knight beside him who was trying to persuade him to flee. Turned over the horse, whistled, the Liao soldiers dodged away, Aliqi rode his horse to the Flying Fox Valley and galloped away, more than ten horsemen followed him, the rest of the Liao soldiers wanted to keep up with it was too late, the Song cavalry had firmly blocked the retreat, and there were a hundred cavalry closely following Aliqi and others.
Aliqi looked at the Song people who were chasing after him. There was a sneer in my heart, the military horses of Flying Fox Village are selected war horses, I don't believe that you can catch up, and it will be able to throw you far away after a while.
The crotch horse galloped into the Flying Fox Valley, Aliqi had already made up his mind, even if he was hit by a few arrows, he had to protect the safety of the war horse, and he would not be able to hurt himself if he was heavy armored, as long as he rushed through the range of the archers, the Song people would no longer be able to do anything about themselves.
Rushing into the Flying Fox Valley, Aliqi's machete flew, protecting the horse's head and body, and clamping the horse's belly with his legs, hoping to rush through the range of the Song archers as soon as possible.
Aliqi looked at it in amazement, and then saw that on the valley road in front of him, the dozen or so trucks had blocked most of the east side of the valley road, and on the west side of the valley road, there were many spears, and more than 100 black-armored heavy infantry were tightly blocked in the gap on the west side of the valley road.
Aric "ah", how did the archer become a heavy armor? Looking at the dozen or so trucks again, Aliqi suddenly suddenly realized that it must be the armor in this car, and the Song people are really cautious, it seems that today is in a catastrophe.
Sighing, looking at the knights who were following him with panicked faces, Aliqi smiled: "What are you afraid of! Fight! As he spoke, he pulled the reins violently, and the war horse made a circle, and greeted Song Qi, who was chasing behind.
"Remember! Lao Tzu is called Aliqi! Aliqi laughed, wielding his machete and slamming Song Qi into each other......
At noon, the sky is clear, the scorching sun hangs high, it is rare to have such a scorching sun in late autumn, and the grass and trees of the already slightly withered yellow ground are even more listless.
On the land of Liao, a large area of dark clouds suddenly appeared, moving slowly to the south, and if you look carefully, the dark clouds in the flying yellow sand are a phalanx of cavalry and armored infantry, marching south very neatly.
In the Chinese army array, there is an iron flag that pierces the sky, and there are several fierce lions with teeth and claws embroidered on the edge of the black flag.
Under the iron flag, on the black horse, sat a majestic general, with a golden helmet and golden armor, covered with a golden-brown battle robe, thick eyebrows and broad eyes, born very heroic, followed by two colonels next to the war horse, carrying a black glaive knife, which looked very heavy, and the two junior colonels were so tired that they were out of breath.
This general is known as the first general of the Liao State of the Nanjing Forbidden Army battalion deputy head of the soldiers and horses Wu Yanguang, who has not met an opponent for 20 years of fame, but is the pillar of the Liao State, and is even favored by the Liao Emperor, and he is appointed as the deputy head of the Nanjing soldiers and horses also has the meaning of containing the emperor's uncle Ye Luchun, although Ye Lu Chun stayed in Nanjing, and naturally also served as the commander of the soldiers and horses of the forbidden army battalion, but Wu Yanguang has no comparable prestige in the army, and what he said is more than Ye Lu Chun, the chief of Zhengyin.
A few days ago, in the autumn wind, Yeluchun's beloved son Yeluguang was killed by an arrow, Yeluchun's liver and intestines were broken, and he ordered the Song people to wash the village in blood.
This time, the Nanjing battalion dispatched nearly half of the troops, 5,000 heavy cavalry, 15,000 light cavalry, and 25,000 infantry troops, which were bound to kill a few small Zhuangzi of the Song people.
Although Wu Yanguang felt that this move was a big fuss, in order to teach the Song people a lesson and show the anger of the Great Liao, it was understandable to dispatch a large army, so that the Song people would know the consequences of killing the prince of our dynasty, and avenge the prince of our dynasty was not afraid of meeting and going to war, so as not to cause the Song people to retaliate afterwards, which really caused a large-scale war between the two countries.
Looking at the mighty soldiers and horses, Wu Yanguang shook his head, this is really a knife to kill chickens, even if the Song people knew that they had made a big disaster a few days ago, and knew that the Liao army would level the border Zhuangzi, then they would have to report layer by layer, I am afraid that when they report to the Beijing Detention Division, their army will have already returned to Nanjing. The Song people's slow and orderly official style has been heard for a long time.
Thinking about whether the peaceful Song people and a few villages would really cause the Liao and Song wars, thinking about it, the eyes suddenly darkened, raised his head, but it was the towering mountain peaks that covered the sun, and looked at the surrounding strange peaks Standing steeply, strange cliffs hanging in the air, and lush vegetation on the mountain, it turned out to be to Feihuyu.
In the Flying Fox Valley, sometimes the steep wall is in front of you, and the mountains and rivers are exhausted; From time to time, it suddenly opened up, the peaks and loops turned, not heaven and earth, and the military horses walked slowly.
Wu Yanguang suddenly frowned: "Why don't you see Aliqi coming to greet you?" ”
The flag officer next to him was stunned for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed: "It seems that I didn't see Aliqi's letter yesterday!" "Flying Fox Village will send back the letter of the forbidden army camp every day, but yesterday the soldiers and food were prepared, and the forbidden army camp was very busy, and the flag commander did not pay attention to whether there was any information from the Flying Fox Village, after all, it has been a daily report of safety for several years, and the flag commander who received the letter was a little numb.
Wu Yanguang was stunned: "Didn't Aliqi take the initiative to attack the Song people?" No matter how smart he is, he would not have thought that the Song people would preemptively attack the Flying Fox Village, after all, the Flying Fox Village has nearly a thousand regular troops of the Liao Army, which is not comparable to the township soldiers of the Song people, not to mention that most of the Song people's township soldiers are tenant farmers, and the formation of the township army is just to defend themselves and protect their families, and it has never been the case to take the initiative to attack the Liao people.
But having said that, Wu Yanguang was still vigilant and ordered: "Pass the order!" Send out the scouts first! Slow down the army! "Tens of thousands of military horses are just to exterminate a few small villages, of course, it will be as easy as the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and it is in the territory of Liao, Wu Yanguang will not send a sentry to reconnoiter in front, but after hearing that Aliqi has no information, Wu Yanguang suddenly had a warning signal and immediately arranged a reconnaissance horse.
Although the commander felt that the commander was making too much of a fuss, he still hurriedly passed the order.
