It was getting dark, and when night was about to fall. The burst rocket suddenly exploded continuously over Hongdong County, emitting a roar and firelight. At the same time, there was a tight sound of a horn, which sounded constantly.

The scouts of the Hexi army, who were keeping a surveillance of the approaching Song army, stood up straight one by one in a squatting posture from the ground.

The Song army of the four generals, under the command of Gao Shixuan, the commander of the soldiers and horses on the Hedong Road, was building a camp on the plain more than ten miles south of Hongdong County, relying on the dangerous points of the Fen River. Although the Song army now pays attention to "hardening the village and fighting a dumb battle", the entire Jinzhou is under the control of the Song army (including the Hexi army), and it is really a bit unusual to have a hard village in its own "home". Therefore, it naturally aroused the vigilance of the Hexi army.

The topography of Jinju is actually a long and narrow river valley, and only the northernmost part of the state border, Nuoyi, is completely mountainous. To the south of Huoyi, is the Fen River Valley. As long as the entrance of Huoyi is guarded, it will be difficult for the Liao army to enter the valley. At this moment, Huoyi County is under the joint protection of Jinzhou Tuanlian and Hexi Knights. The scouts of the Hexi Army were sent all the way to Pingyao and Jiexiu. Of course, I knew that the main force of the Liao army was still in Taiyuan for a generation, and I didn't have any intention of going south.

However, after all, the Song army is building a camp on its own territory, although there is a little bit of meaning against the Hexi army, but there is no need to be too nervous, and now send a signal to assemble and fight, right?

Could it be that the Liao army in the north invaded south? Could it be that Taiyuan Mansion has been broken by the Liao? But that's fine, you can let go of the last battle!

Now that the battle is coming, the knights have made up their minds. They are originally warriors, and they are not afraid of war, as long as the official in Kaifeng Mansion is not too stingy, so that the big guy can exchange the Khitan people's heads for a full reward.

The scouts who were originally scattered everywhere turned on their horses one after another and headed for the Hexi Army camp outside Hongdong County.

The knights of the Hexi Army are different from the knights of Youzhou, they are not really heavy cavalry, but half-light and half-heavy, taking into account mobility and impact. At the same time, because of the chaotic situation in Hexi and Anxi, these knights have practiced good skills in mounted archery and hand-to-hand combat. Therefore, in the Anxi army, there is no independent light cavalry, but ordinary knights take turns to act as scouts. This feature is somewhat similar to that of the cavalry of the Prairie Stream.

Because of this, the Hexi Army can often release a large number of rangers to closely monitor all directions. Similarly, before concentrating its forces for a major battle, the Hexi Army must first recall most of its rangers and redeploy them.

A large number of rangers suddenly converged into the heavily guarded Hexi Army camp like streams flowing into the river.

……

Su Zhihuan rode on a horse, like other Hexi knights, all wearing half-body armor, carrying slender riding spears, carrying two quivers, a stepping bow, a riding bow, and a round shield tied to his left arm on both sides of the saddle.

Standing side by side with him was Zhang Zhuo, the governor of the Tianzhu Palace, who had just come from Kaifeng Mansion. Zhang Zuo is Zhang Yuan's concubine, who studied military affairs in the Biyong School Palace for three years, and later followed Zhang Yuan to Anxi. After Song Liao started the war, he was arranged by Zhang Yuan to be a guest of the Zhu Wangfu in Kaifeng Mansion.

The "person from Tianzhu Wangfu" who arrived in Hongdong County this morning is him!

Zhang Yuan's son is here, and Su Zhilian and Feng Mingshan always have to leave one to accompany him. So only Feng Mingshan went to Linfen with Lu Qian.

And Zhang Zhuo's visit this time is unusual! Because although his dispatch is only a guest of the palace, he has the official position of Zhengqipin Xuandelang. In the Song Dynasty, it also belongs to the sequence of high-ranking officials. If he leaves Beijing and returns to Hexi, he will have to be well entertained by the pavilions along the way. And it is impossible to turn to Hongdong County, from Kaifeng Mansion to Hexi, you should go to Henan Mansion to enter Guanzhong, and then go to Lingzhou. How did you get to Hedong?

In fact, he didn't leave Beijing normally, but sneaked out of Kaifeng Mansion! The reason why he wanted to sneak out of Kaifeng Mansion was because he learned the news that the imperial court was going to sell Hexi in exchange for Hedong!

In the eyes of the vast majority of people in Kaifeng Prefecture, it is a good thing to benefit the country and the people to be able to exchange Hexi, which did not belong to the Great Song Dynasty, for the Liao army to withdraw from Hedong. Even if you stick another million coins, as long as the world can be peaceful, there is nothing bad.

However, in the eyes of the son of "King of Hexi" Zhang Yuan, the betrayal of Hexi by the imperial court is undoubtedly to cut off the life of the "Qin King Chuan Zhang's family" and the soldiers of the Hexi Army!

Although Hexi is bitter and barren, it is also fortunate for everyone to fight hard! It is the foundation of 15,000 Xiliang knights! How can it be ceded to the Khitan? Do you want 15,000 Xiliang knights to go to the Khitans as slaves?

And Zhang Zuo didn't forget that there are still 5,000 Xiliang knights stationed in Jinju on Hedong Road! His imagination is also quite rich, and he actually thought that the imperial court would probably solve the 5,000 Xiliang knights who had fallen out of Hedong by force before the official announcement of the land cession.

There are a total of 15,000 knights in the current Hexi Army, and 5,000 Xiliang knights are almost one-third of the strength! If it is eaten by the Hedong Army, the capital of the Hexi Army will be greatly damaged. It will be difficult to resist the cession of land.

So he made his own opinion, sneaked out of Kaifeng Mansion, and rushed to Hongdong County. Finally stopped Su Zhihuan and Feng Mingshan before they got up and went to Linfen.

But Zhang Ju knew that Feng Mingshan was a Liao person, and Lu Qian was a person from Tong Guan, and he belonged to the "lineage" of the Great Song Dynasty. So he only left the reliable Su Zhilian and asked Feng Mingshan and Lu Qian to go to Hongdong County to explore the truth.

As a result, at dusk, Han Shizhong, who led the troops to escort Feng Mingshan and Lu Qian, sent someone to deliver bad news!

The imperial court attacked the Hexi army, the Fengguan army was trapped in the city, life and death were unknown, and there was also an infantry of the Hedong army attacking Han Shizhong's department......

Needless to say, the national thieves in the DPRK must have reached an agreement with Liaogou to betray the country for glory and kill the anti-Liao soldiers!

So Zhang Zhuo and Su Zhilian immediately ordered to prepare for war!

Hexi Army is not easy to bully!

……

"The court has a national thief!"

Hundreds of torches, surrounded by Zhang Zhuo and Su Zhilian, illuminated everything around them as if it were day. The red flames reflected on the silver armor on the two of them, reflecting a blood-colored light.

The knights of Hexi have been mobilized as a whole. Nearly 10,000 cavalry (including auxiliaries) lined up in the open space outside the main camp. There are guns everywhere, and there is murderous spirit everywhere. More than ten battalion leaders of the Hexi Army and Ji Yi, surrounded by Zhang Zhuo and Su Zhilian, all of them looked like iron, and their hands pressed long knives, and they were murderous.

After all, the Hexi Army is a strong force, although it is a big step behind the Youzhou Army in terms of command, equipment, organization, training, and logistics. But in today's world, it is also the world's first-class elite soldiers. Even if you are under siege, you have the determination to fight out.

Zhang Zhuozheng shouted: "The national thief wants to sell our Hexi to the Khitan in exchange for the Khitan to withdraw from the east of the river!" You say, "What should I do?" ”

His words were immediately repeated in unison by dozens of loud-voiced knights around him.

Now everyone heard it clearly, and there was an uproar.

Why did the imperial court come out of the national thief?

Why are national thieves so hateful? I want to sell you to sell Hedong and Youzhou, even if you sell Kaifeng Mansion...... Why do you want to sell our Hexi?

"Hexi was fought down by us! An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood! Zhang Zhuo gritted his teeth and said, "Hexi is our homeland, the home of our children and grandchildren, how can we give it to Liaogou?" ”

"Can't give it to Liao Dog!"

"You can't cede Hexi!"

"The national thief is so hateful! Heaven is intolerable! ”

"Kill! Kill all the thieves! ”

Uneducated and superstitious, it is naturally easy to incite.

Zhang Zuo didn't say a few words, and the knights in the audience boiled. Everyone was gearing up and shouting the slogan of "kill all the thieves of the country".

Zhang Zhuo glanced at Su Zhilian beside him, and the latter immediately shouted: "Saving Heavenly Reason!" Punish the national thief! Kill the Liao dog! ”

"Reason! Punish the national thief! Kill Liao Dog ......"

When Zhang Zhuo saw the scene in front of him, his blood boiled.

The military heart is available!

As long as his family can return to Hexi with 5,000 iron horses, he will no longer be a worthless concubine, but the heir of the chief priest and the future lord of Hexi!

It seems that this fight has been successful!

I saw him gently raise his right hand and point to the south: "Preserve Heavenly Reason!" Punish the national thief! Kill the Liaogou ...... All the army is attacking! The enemy is in Linfen County! ”

"The enemy is in Linfen County!"

……

Jinju, Linfen County.

The firelight, blood, and the sound of shouting and killing converged together, enveloping the entire Linfen County.

There was a great chaos in the city, and outside the city were bonfires all over the mountains, I really don't know how many generals of the Hexi Army have been killed?

In the center of the city, in the military affairs yamen of Hedong, Hebei, and Youzhou, the commander-in-chief still barely maintained the atmosphere of forest.

Inside and outside the yamen, there were stubborn armorers everywhere. The pro-soldiers of the General Military Affairs Yamen, the pro-soldiers brought by Liu Yanqing from Shaanxi, were all mobilized at this time, and the number was no less than 1,000. These people are not a rabble, but the elite who can really fight, of course, they are not something that dozens of Fengming Mountain's personal soldiers outside the gate can fight against.

Therefore, the school field outside the gate has now returned to Zheng Juzhong's hands, but the surrounding bustling street markets have all been burned to the ground.

Order has not been restored in the city, and chaos is still there. Those pro-soldiers in Fengming Mountain are now scattered into several teams, killing people everywhere and setting fires (they are not good people) to create chaos. Being so troubled by them, many refugees who had no food and clothing also followed suit.

And the thousands of new troops, forbidden troops, and box troops in the city, under Liu Yanqing's dispatch, maintained order while fighting fires, and at the same time oppressed the pro-soldiers of Fengming Mountain, who were still resisting stubbornly in the city.

If he is given a few more hours, he will most likely be able to calm down the chaos in Linfen City, and as a general of the Western Army, he still has this ability.

But the question is, what if there are dozens of anti-thieves eliminated, but there are still 4,900 or dozens of anti-thieves?

Jinju, it looks like it's going to fall!
