The sky gradually brightened, and the snowflakes mixed with the raindrops fluttered and fell, on both sides of the Qi River, the rain and snow were flying, and it was difficult to distinguish more than 100 steps away from the opposite side. And the cold and wet cold is also unbearable, and the armor leaf battle robes that are wet by the rain and snow are as cold as ice cubes.

Yue He took more than sixty horses, just along the bank of the Qi River, carefully south. Everyone's clothes and armor were wet, and the cold air penetrated the bone marrow, but with the military order, they could only grit their teeth and move forward. Yue He walked at the forefront, controlling the horse and moving forward, while looking around vigilantly. The battle in the north continued, and the sound of golden drums and horns and shouts of battle was heard one after another.

Now the place where the fierce battle took place was around the camp of the Song army on the east bank of the Qi River, but Gao Taiwei was not worried at all that the Xiangzhou regiment training army would not be able to bear it, so he neither ordered the Xiang army deployed in the camp on the east bank of the Qi River to withdraw to the west bank, nor did he send his own elite Lingzhou soldiers to support, but just let Han Xiaoxuan find a way to deal with it by himself. At the same time, he was preoccupied with the safety of Kaifeng Mansion and worried that Yelu Yanxi would divide his troops south. So he ordered Wu Song and Yang Keshi to send cavalry to reconnoitre.

And Wu Song and Yang Keshi were not willing to use the precious Lingzhou knights as light cavalry, so they only sent a small number of light cavalry subordinate to the Lingzhou infantry generals, and asked Han Xiaoxuan to send the Xiangjun cavalry to participate in this meaningless search and reconnaissance operation.

Yue He's sixty-odd horsemen were also unlucky, and were sent to do hard work, not only to search along the Qi River, but also to search the shallows to wade across the Qi River, and to search the area between the Qi River and the Yongji Canal.

What is even more unfortunate is that they just walked out of the camp on the west bank of the Qi River, and they encountered rain and snow like heaven and earth. It's winter now, and the climate is already cold, and now it's wet with rain and snow, and then it's blown by the cold wind, and everyone and horses are frozen and sifted with chaff.

These cavalry led by Yue He were all small and medium-sized landlords in Xiangzhou, although they could not be pampered, but the word hunger and cold were still far away from them. In the past, when it rained and snowed, they wouldn't go out at all, and they were all comfortably roasting in their own homes. If morale was high some time ago, it would have been able to endure it when military discipline was strict. But now that they have betrayed the country and negotiated peace, and they have encountered the Liao people's betrayal of the alliance, the military spirit can only be scattered and scattered. For example, the team that opened in Xiangzhou Group Training, the people's hearts were not very cohesive, and now they are even more scattered.

Even if everyone received a reward of money before leaving the camp, but the team traveled in the rain and snow for an hour, and it was still a little unbearable.

“…… On a rainy and snowy day, we guarded the old camp, waited for the Liao dog to attack, and sent to the outpost outside the camp to probe and protect it, so there was nothing to say. Can you run away and get frozen? You're going to have to wade across the Qi River later, aren't you soaking wet? There's no place to bake the fire, but don't suffer from the wind and fall into the root of the disease! ”

"If you have the opportunity to find an official position, even if you make up for the lack of a little martial artist in the forbidden army, you can fight hard. But yesterday, the old men of the Han family said that they would only give money, not officials...... Straight lady thief, how few catties of copper will we ride on horseback? ”

"Yes, we want rare copper coins, so we will go to Tianjin Mansion to recruit them! Take two horses and an entourage, it is two hundred taels of settling-in expenses, and you can get twelve taels per month! It's all net earnings, and the squirrel, horse gun, war horse, etc., are all made by Wu Jieshuai. ”

"Aren't you looking at the face of the Han family? Who knew that the Han family also had a time when they cheated people! ”

"You can't blame Han Tuanlian, who is obviously undefeated, but he gave away the ...... in a good situation"

These complaints are not loud or small, just for Yue He to hear. In fact, he is also resentful. As for the matter of betraying the country to seek glory, those bitter tenants and poor peasants may not understand much. However, most of the small and medium-sized landlords like Yue He have read books and know how to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and they practice martial arts not only to run rampant in the township, but also have the intention of serving the country. So the resentment is even greater! Obviously, it can be fought, at least it can force the Liao people to retreat, why pay compensation and New Year's coins? I gave five million taels at one time, all of which are people's fat and people's ointment! If it is used to motivate the soldiers, how can they fight a bloody battle with the Liao people. How many Khitan talents are there? Everyone went out and killed 10,000, maybe they didn't dare to come again.

It's good now, I didn't buy peace when I gave money, it's really stupid!

What's even more stupid is that it's such a cold day, and it's raining and snowing, what are you doing out of the camp? Isn't it good to guard the old camp? This weather is clearly good for defense and not good for attack.

However, Yue He is still holding the team's money, so it is not good to complain with everyone, and his team is not sure when to pull it down, so he is naturally embarrassed to scold his subordinates for such brothers. So he could only retract his mind and search around with all his attention.

Through the flying rain and snow, there was a sudden sound in front of me. It seems to be the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the water, but if you listen closely, it seems that there is only the sound of wind and rain.

Seeing Yue He holding the war horse and motionless there, the people who followed him no longer complained, but stopped the horses one after another, and began to take out the crossbow machine from the rainproof leather pocket and prepare to wind it.

By the way, the glue in these years is not waterproof, so crossbow machines and compound bows with complex structures are afraid of rain and water. When the bowstring absorbs enough water, it will also become floppy. Therefore, in rain and snow, the power of the bow and crossbow will decrease a little.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves treading water has become more dense and louder. It seems that there are thousands of Khitan iron horsemen, braving the rain and snow, stepping through the icy and biting river, and are making a detour to the flank and rear of the Song army's Qihe camp!

"Liao Dog!" Yue He was almost certain that he had encountered the enemy, and shouted, "Wound the crossbow, prepare to meet the enemy, fight and go!" ”

Yue He's voice trembled a little, he knew that his subordinates couldn't rush into battle, and they weren't good at hand-to-hand combat, let alone skilled archers and horses, the only thing he could rely on was the Tianjin crossbow.

But the power of the Tianjin crossbow has been severely reduced in the rain, can it still keep his brothers out of danger?

In the rain and snow, you can already vaguely see the Khitan cavalry wearing leather robes and leather hats! They did not wield bows, but appeared in front of them in loose horizontal formations with wooden spears in hand.

The Khitans are going to charge!

Yue He knew that he couldn't beat him, so he yelled: "Retreat!" There are many people in Liaogou...... Scattered and retreated, we must bring the news of Liaogou crossing the river back to the camp! ”

……

The shouts of killing completely overshadowed the sound of wind and rain, wave after wave, slamming into the eight-foot-tall wall of the Song military camp! On this rainy and snowy day, it added a hundredfold killing atmosphere.

The foot soldiers of the Liao army seem to be crazy today, regardless of the cold, the rain and snow, and the weak arrows shot by the Song army, just cover their heads and rush!

Behind them, Emperor Da Liao stood tall, Yelu Yanxi did not need an umbrella cover, and stood in the rain and snow on horseback, his eyes were like torches, staring at the battlefield in front of him.

The royal tent army was lined up in front of him, all of them wearing strong and stubborn battles! In front of them, a row of wooden guns was inserted, each with a bloody human head on the tip. Underneath the human head is a large basket of copper coins.

Those who advance will be rewarded, and those who retreat without permission will be beheaded!

Yelu Yanxi is really out of the way, and he doesn't plan to bring back the 5 million given by Gao Yu to the grassland, so he will reward the Khitan warriors who took the lead!

Those Khitan Erlang who grew up on the grassland have never seen any money, but today they are taking rewards one by one, aren't they desperate?

Moreover, the emperor has already decreed that the first warrior to attack the wall of the Song camp will be rewarded with a million dollars (only a thousand yuan for Zumo), and the history of the assassination will be given!

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men!

The Khitans, who are not very good at tackling tough problems, are actually fighting the demoralized Xiangzhou regimental training today, and it is difficult to parry.

However, Yelu Yanxi's goal today is not Xiangzhou's group training, but the head of the first handsome commander of the Great Song Dynasty, Gao Yu and Gao Taiwei!

Only by beheading Gao Yu can the hatred in Yelu Yanxi's heart be relieved, and everyone in the Song army can be feared. In this way, he may also be able to exchange the territory of Hebei West Road for the land of Yanjing.

Therefore, while dispatching foot soldiers (including dismounted cavalry) to attack the Song army camp on the east bank of the Qi River, Yelu Yanxi also sent the general Xiao Temo to lead 2,000 imperial tent troops, 8,000 Nanyuan tribal army, and 8,000 palace troops (all regular soldiers) to cross the Qi River, go around to the rear of the Song army camp, wait for an opportunity to surrender, and if the sneak attack fails, the Song camp will also be surrounded.

What was bumped into by Yue He and the others was the vanguard of Xiao Temo's department, all of which were the leather room army among the most elite cavalry of the Southern Courtyard tribe!

As Yue He gave the order to retreat in time, most of his men and himself returned to the camp unharmed.

And Gao Yu, who got the news, once again made a wrong judgment.

"The goal of the Liao people is still the Yellow River!" Gao Yu said, "Yelu Yanxi must want to drive the regimental training of the Hedong camp to the Hexi camp, and then dig a trench for a long siege." In this way, he can surround us with a small number of soldiers and horses, and the main force can go south! ”

In Gao Taiwei's heart, Zhao Ji and Kaifeng Fucheng must be the two softest. That's why everything comes to mind!

Of course, he didn't know that Wu Haogu had already captured Yanjing City. Because Wu Haogu may have tried to gain a few more days to control Yandi Haoqiang, or maybe he wanted to pit Zhao Ji and Gao Yu (with Wu Haogu's kindness, this possibility is not very likely), so he did not report the results at the first time. Moreover, he and Yang Jian would not hand over the good news directly to Gao Yu, and they had to report to the Xuanfu Division of the Daimyo Mansion and Lubu Feijie of the Kaifeng Mansion respectively in order.

And after the Daimyo's Mansion got the news, because the road was blocked, it needed to take a detour to report to Gao Yu, so until now, Gao Yu didn't know that Yanjing was surnamed Wu.

Therefore, he had a great misjudgment of Yelu Yanxi's action goal, thinking that Yelu Yanxi was going to seize the Great Song Dynasty!

The result of the misjudgment is naturally a big mistake!

"Attack!" Gao Yu slapped the table, "We can't sit still, we must take the initiative to fight!" ”
