Under the banner of Ling Zi, Ling Tong was dressed in silver armor, holding an iron spear in his hand, and his crotch was full of black wind, which was really heroic and extraordinary.

Not long ago, in Lin Xiu's Beiban Danger Petition, his words were heartfelt, so that He Du and other officials and family members could not avoid it, and Xiangcheng had even been pro-Bei'an Army at this time, if the Bei'an Army died in a war, then He Du's previous scheming would be all in vain, and furthermore, the Beiban ravaged Northern Xinjiang had a previous experience, if Northern Xinjiang had such a disaster again, with the current situation of Great Xia, Xiangcheng was just an egg under the nest.

So, He Du, He Ji and other officials discussed from their hearts and decided to resist the Northern Barbarians, and those squire clans contributed even more money, and finally gathered 10,000 soldiers in Xiangcheng, with the young hero Ling Tong as the general, and rushed over.

Walking to the eastern boundary of Linshui Village, Ling Tong said to the deputy general Gao Jingyi: "You lead the army to move forward slowly, and I will take a trip to Linshui Village!" ”

"What is the general going to do there? The order of the Bei'an army came to call an hour ago, and they are almost at the Bei'an station, we have to hurry, otherwise we won't be able to meet the Bei'an army before late tomorrow night..."

Facing Gao Jingyi's words, Ling Tong said in a deep voice: "I have a family matter to do, and I can't miss the military plan, so you can go first for the time being!" ”

Hearing this, Gao Jingyi was ordered to move forward, and Ling Tong led more than a dozen horsemen to Linshui Village, and came to Lin Mansion, where he happened to meet Chen Shuling and He Tong returning from going out, and when they saw Ling Tong, He Tong was stunned.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

"You have been here for so long, and you haven't sent a letter back from home, your father is ashamed at the beginning, and it is difficult to ask directly, this time, I will come to see you on behalf of Hefu!"

As Ling Tong spoke, he saw He Tong's slightly bulging lower abdomen, and after a little hesitation, Ling Tong understood everything, and immediately, Ling Tong said: "Since you are fine, I will take the first step, and when the Northern Barbarians calm down in the future, I will come to see you again, remember, Xiangcheng will always be your home!" ”

In the north boundary of the river, the city of Mu in the north of the river, the city and the south of the capital of the city of Mu is not a place, compared to the south of the city of the city, this city is a military city, in wartime, its armor and grain, can be garrisoned by more than 10,000 soldiers for more than half a year, the absolute north of the north of the river and the west of the junction of the strong city.

At present, 30,000 soldiers and horses in the river led by Chang Yuchuan were ordered to come and temporarily settle here.

Looking at the sky in the northwest direction, Chang Yuchuan said: "There are two droughts in summer and autumn this year, God really doesn't plan to give the summer a way to live, now that the midwinter has not arrived, it has already fallen cold, if it is a heavy snow to seal the land, how can the people live?" ”

In the emotion, the sentinel came to report, saying that a large number of Tartars were found in Baohan Town, fifty miles west of Zhongmu City.

Hearing this, Chang Yuchuan immediately ordered: "Le Dian, Ben will ride with you with three thousand flying horses, immediately rush to Baohan Town, explore the situation along the road, and fight if you can, and from the previous military notice, General Nangong is also in that area, if you meet, obey him!" ”

"The last general obeys!" After Le Dian left, Chang Yuchuan ordered Fu Tong.

"Fu Tong, I will have more than 10,000 soldiers with you and garrison this city!"

"General, what are you going to do?"

Fu Tong was immediately stunned, Chang Yuchuan thought for a moment, and responded: "It seems that His Highness guessed correctly, those Tartars really entered Hexi from Zhaoyang and Baohan, although the news of the Tartars uniting with the Northern Barbarians did not come, but this place can not be careless, now that the war in Baohan has started, the main army of the Tartars does not know, the partial army must want to go from Baohan to Shicheng, avoid His Highness's soldiers, if we let the Tartars ride into the interior of Hexi, then we can be much more passive, and even His Highness will be affected by it, so I will have to take a risk to attack, from Baohan to the line of Shicheng." , stop the Tartars! ”

"But..."

Fu Tong still wanted to admonish, but Chang Yuchuan had already made up his mind, and after a short time, Chang Yuchuan led 10,000 Hezhong troops to leave Zhongmu City.

Northeast of Baohan Town, Yabuli Thousand Household Lord led the 10,000 brave horses of the clan to this place, judging from the map, Yabuli is only eighty miles away from Shicheng, if you rush to rush, you can kill into the Hexi territory in three hours, but Yabuli is a shrewd person among the nine surname clans, he knows very well the result of the single rush, if it goes well, it is good, it is not smooth, but it will follow in the footsteps of Shebula.

After thinking for a moment, Yabuli laughed and asked the slave: "Where has the head of the Keketu Thousand Households gone?" ”

Faced with the questioning, the slave said: "Master, the head of the Keketu Thousand Household was attacked by the Xia rangers before, and the middle road turned to pursue for half a day, so it dragged behind us, about sixty miles away on the thorny slope!" ”

"That guy..."

Yabuli smiled: "Keketu is a person who is in a hurry, this is the credit of entering the west of the river first, the master can't fight alone, pass the word to Keketu, just say that the master has been attacked by the Xia people here, and has broken the enemy, and then he will enter Shicheng, and he can rest in Shicheng before late night today, let him hurry up, don't be a tail!" ”

In the army of the Keketu clan, Keketu was impatient when he heard the news from Yabuli.

"This old guy is faster than me!"

"Thousand Household Masters, our Sentry Yong has discovered the Xia Ranger again!"

On the one hand, it is the urging of Yabuli, and on the other hand, it is the harassment of the Xia rangers, Keketu is really angry, but Nangong Bao is harassing these Tartars with the strategy of the rangers, only waiting for the Tartars to make mistakes, so that they can defeat Keketu like defeating Shebule.

But Keketu is more cautious than Shebule, every time Nangong Bao scatters hundreds of horses and shoots bows and sweeps the array, Keketu should not be at all, just disperse with brave horses, come and go, Nangong Bao does not take any advantage.

It's just that Yabuli's words are like fish bones, inexplicably stuck in Keketu's throat.

I think that although their nine surnamed clans are aggressive to invade Great Xia, if they are clear about the situation, they will find that there is no food in Western Tatar, so they will carry out war invasion, otherwise the Golden Horde Batuo will want to sleep peacefully at night.

At the time when the nine clans went out to seek survival together, Keketu had more say in the nine surnames in order for his clan to have more say in the future, and he must win the first credit for invading Great Xia.

After thinking for a while, Keketu ordered the tents to ride at full speed, heading straight to the direction of Shicheng, for Nangong Bao, the Xia ranger, Keketu didn't care, after all, in Keketu's eyes, Nangong Bao could not defeat himself before he found his own negligence, and the wealth in Hexi was what the Nine Clans needed most.

When Keketu led his troops to leave quickly, Nangong Bao, who was surnamed Guerrilla Strategy five miles away, was reported back by the sentinel cavalry.

"General, the Tartar suddenly turned around and ran in the southeast direction, the speed is extremely fast, I don't dare to chase after it!"

Hearing this, Nangong Bao's brows tightened, but in an instant, Nangong Bao reacted: "These damn Tartars actually want to divide their troops into Great Xia and use them as the foundation of the Hexi Army!" ”
