After all, Jingcheng Pass was at the forefront of the Song-Liao border.

Why didn't Cai Lanling send himself, Hua Xuanyi, Wang Kang, or those two squadron leaders as the leaders of this operation?

First of all, Taihang Village was initially decided, and it was very necessary for him and Hua Xianqi to sit here together, after all, two-thirds of the manpower was sent out, so the remaining people on their own side in Dazhai were not able to gather 900 people at all.

Second, there is the issue of fairness. This time it was Wang Kang who led the team to break through the cottage, and if the task of gathering and destroying the people of the Western Xia Kingdom was handed over to Wang Kang again, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the leaders of the older generation in the Lion Village. Out of Dazhai, it means that these people are temporarily out of the control of Cai Lanling and Hua Xuanyi. The 2,000-strong team may not all listen to Wang Dare.

In the final analysis, it is still Wang Kang's qualifications that are too shallow, and the people of the Lion Village are not too convinced of Cai Dao, the real master.

Even if Wang Dang is the most suitable candidate for this task, Cai Lanling will not use him this time.

And those two squadron leaders, Cai Lanling didn't dare to use them, in case they left the cottage, the two of them made their own decisions and made any moves to destroy their own strategy. If the task is not completed, if the other party counterattacks, and thus loses a large number of manpower, then whose responsibility is it? Therefore, in order to complete the task, Cai Lanling painstakingly chose a combination of these three people.

Although Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are the two village owners of Tongguan Guan, their management ability is only equivalent to a village head, and they do not have much experience in leading troops to fight, but Shi Ernai is a very good supplement, and he is quite resourceful and a ghost who is familiar with the terrain. With him by his side, they can not only check and fill in the gaps, but also help the two of them better hide their own troops, so that they can complete the deployment perfectly, so as to assist themselves in completing their strategic intentions.

Presumably, the combination of these three people will not make any major mistakes.

Moreover, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu also have an advantage that no one cared much about in the past, that is, the two of them are not only very strong in martial arts, but also hate the Western Xia and Khitans. The most important thing is that the two of them have the same personality, they are righteous, and they are self-aware and can listen to Shi Ernai's opinions.

On the contrary, looking at the two squadron leaders, they were arrogant, and they could see from their eyes that the two of them were not too convinced of themselves and their masters, even if they were not too convinced. If they are allowed to lead the troops out alone, it is unlikely that any one of them will listen to the advice of Shi Ernai, a rebel general, maybe, as soon as these two people are unhappy, as long as they leave Taihang Village, it is very likely that they will find a reason to slaughter Shi Ernai casually.

Of course, Cai Lanling is not completely trusting Shi Ernai, he secretly sent Cai Yinghua to let her keep an eye on Shi Ernai's every move in secret, and once he is found to have fornicated with foreign enemies, the ambush plan will be canceled immediately.

Cai Yinghua is still relatively good at extorting confessions by torture, but Song Yuhu is unexpectedly firm, Cai Yinghua used her housekeeping skills, and in the end she was not able to get the slightest information from this woman's mouth.

However, there is no need for Song Yuhu to say anything more about the development of the situation.

Because the reinforcements of Western Xia have already arrived.

On the third day of Cai Lanling's breakthrough of Taihang Village, a horse team of about 3,000 people appeared in the mountain road that must be passed to Taihang Village. After all, these people were on horses, and besides, he set off several days earlier than Hua Xianqi and them, and if Cai Dao hadn't insisted on letting them go immediately after the assassination was over, they might have run into these Western Xia horse thieves directly.

It is said that no matter what kind of horse thief is, no matter how stupid he is, he will not be stupid enough to ride into the mountains, isn't that looking for death? However, the horse thieves who were now speeding along the mountain road broke the convention, and they just went into the mountains.

Undoubtedly, there are ghosts in the field leading the way!

And this leading party is Wu Renxing, the fifth leader who has disappeared for no reason.

As soon as Shan Xiongba was assassinated, Song Yuhu felt that this was a good opportunity, and she immediately sent Wu Renxing to the eastern border of the Western Xia Kingdom with her own token and a secret letter to ask for reinforcements. She wants to take Taihang Village in one fell swoop.

Even if Wu Renxing set off early, Song Yuhu's boss was also very decisive, and after receiving the secret letter, he immediately gathered all the horse thieves under his control, and followed Wu Renxing all the way to Taihang Village.

When these people came, they did not take the Yellow River, but entered the Taihang Mountains from the Xia-Liao border, that is, Yunzhou in the Liao State.

In Wu Renxing's opinion, the matter is quite simple, he personally recommended to open the gate of the village, with Song Yuhu on the side, the other owners of the village will definitely not suspect anything, once this group of horse thieves enters Taihang Village. Then, he will soon be able to sit in the position of the master of Taihang Village, and Song Yuhu will be his wife of the village.

Things are indeed as smooth as Wu Renxing imagined.

As soon as Wu Renxing appeared, he asked a few casual questions about the little minions guarding the walled gate, and then asked people to call the walled gate.

However, Wu Renxing and the team had just entered less than one-tenth of the team, and they were treated to a large barbecue by the minions of Lion Village and Taihang Village, which were still skewered and skewered.

"Oops! ambushed. Rush into it for me, and those who retreat well will be killed! Suddenly attacked by the other party's bow and arrow, most of the people and horses who had entered Taihang Village were killed and injured, and the leader of the Western Xia Kingdom who led the team knew that it was bad, and he thought about Wu Renxing's trouble at this time, but found that the guy had already died under the bow and arrow of his own people. If, at this time, the gate of Taihang Village was not opened, he might choose to withdraw immediately, but now that the gate has been opened, then he can rely on the advantage of horses to attack Taihang Village.

It's a pity that Cai Lanling has long been guarding against the other party's use of such a trick, he not only dug a semicircular, two-meter-deep trench behind the gate of the walled gate, but also placed dense rolling logs behind the trench. With these things, even if these horse thieves of the Western Xia Kingdom really broke through the trench, they would not want to ride their horses into the Taihang Village.

"TNND, didn't the Sprinkle family order it? You can't shoot horses, you can't shoot horses, you bunnies eat people and don't obey people's words, give me all the bows and arrows, whoever shoots at the horses, I will cut you right now. "The war was in full swing, and among the crowd in Taihang Village, I heard Hua Xuanyi's broken gong voice, scolding her mother loudly.

Although these little minions have fought a lot of battles, it is the first time that they have really faced such a turbulent and galloping horse team, and it is inevitable that they will be nervous. It is conceivable that the bows and arrows shot from their hands will definitely be off, so even if the team riding inside is very dense, most of the arrows they shoot in the first round are shot at the open space or the horses.

Wu Renxing, the fifth master, did not die directly under the arrow, but after his mount was shot down by a bow and arrow, he himself had no time to struggle, and he was trampled on by the horse ridden by later generations.

The horse team of the Tangut people rushed hard for less than a quarter of an hour, and when Wild Rebellion saw that the situation was impossible, he immediately ordered his subordinates, and he asked a team leader to stay with his team to be responsible for blocking the attack, while he took the rest of the men and horses to return the same way, preparing to escape from the Taihang Mountains.

However, when they reached the exit of the mountain road, they were dumbfounded. It turned out that when they entered the mountain road, Shi Ernai immediately led the men and horses, as well as a large number of nearby mountain people, to the mountain pass, first gathered and annihilated the Xixia people guarding here, and then, all mobilized, cut down trees, dig ditches and dig ditches, it didn't take long to arrange the mountain pass into the same pocket array as in the cottage.

If this group of horse thieves from the Western Xia Kingdom really had the heart to drop the horses they were sitting on, they could have crossed the trenches that were not deep on foot and crossed the trees that stood in the way.

However, if they really had to abandon their horses, most of them would become hungry wolves without minions, and any one mountain man would be able to take their little life.

Moreover, Cai Lanling in the cottage and Shi Ernai outside the mountain pass were not in a hurry to attack, and the trapped beasts were still fighting, at this time, if they fought hard, they would inevitably bring a lot of unnecessary casualties to their side.

As long as these people are trapped in the mountain road, once it is night, it will become the world of these people in the lion village.

Night blindness is an important reason why the Lion Village is stronger than all the bandits and horse bandits in the world.

When night fell, it was time for the killing feast to begin, and after the chaos, a large number of horse bandits from the Western Xia Kingdom shouted for surrender.

Cai Lanling hurriedly sent people to stop these red-eyed lion village subordinates, these horse bandits have existed on the Song-Xia border for I don't know how many years, not to mention the official government of the Great Song Dynasty, maybe even they don't know how many Song people on the border have been slaughtered. Of course, they deserve death.
