Different from the tranquility of Anhua County, in Dashun City, drums and horns are the most common rhythms, and soldiers are the most accustomed scenery.

The public house where Shen Yun lived was also the place where Li Xin and others beat drums and gathered generals. In the early morning, there was a horn to urge people to wake up, and after the three-way drum, Rao is Shen Yun didn't have to follow the order, but he couldn't continue to sleep peacefully. After breakfast, they will perform martial arts in the school field outside the city, which is the most basic duty of the soldiers. This, of course, is purely a wartime duty.

Many of the soldiers in it were actually half peasants, and when they returned from this campaign, they had to return to the camp to harvest crops.

In the evening, the smoke rises, and the scenery becomes more and more misty in the green smoke. The majesty of the northwest seems to have reached its extreme in this big city.

It's just that the beautiful scenery is tempting, but the official business is more and more inspiring. In the blink of an eye, the time set by Li Guifu for the expedition had arrived. Although Li Xin liked Shen Yun more, he still didn't give Shen Yun even a glance at the strategy that Li Guifu gave him - this is a guy who knows a lot about taboos in the army, and he understands what leaking military aircraft means to him.

The tenth day of the seventh month. As usual, the drums gathered, but Li Xin did not disturb Shen Yun's sleep. Because he and Liu Fu and Chong Yong were already in the camp outside the city at this time. Before you know it, 5,000 soldiers and horses have been gathered.

After raising the account, Li Xin solemnly glanced at the generals and colonels standing in two columns in front of him: "Everyone, compared to the previous transfer, it is under the banner of defending against the invasion of the Xia people. But recently, Ben Zhan wants to tell you and others, and received an order from Li Zhizhou, ordering me to lead you and take the initiative to attack the Xia people's deceitful village. ”

The atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became calm.

More than a dozen generals didn't seem to believe Li Xin's words, and although they didn't exclaim, they still looked at Li Xin with a suspicious look, for fear that he would make a mistake by half a word. You must know that although they are military attachés, they do not have the right to wage war at all. At that time, he was in the main city of Suizhou, and he didn't listen to the orders of Lu Xu, the governor of Yanzhou, and was almost imprisoned. If it weren't for Lu Xu's earlier demotion of being demoted, I'm afraid that he wouldn't be able to sit under the jurisdiction of Lin Yanchuan today.

Li Xin knew that the soldiers were suspicious of his words, so he took out Li Guifu's edict and handed it to the guards around him, so that he could bring it to everyone below for inspection.

The atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and suppression of military force made ordinary military attaches have to know a few words. Li Guifu's letter was naturally verified, and these generals looked at Li Xin and bowed: "Please also give orders, and we will definitely serve you." ”

Taking Li Guifu's letter back into his arms, Li Xin issued his first order: "The army will be drawn immediately, scouts will be released along the road, and the Xia people will not be taught to discover our movements." When they arrived at the vicinity of the village, they camped in secret. You take 500 soldiers and horses to be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass from Dashun City to the camp. After I left, I told Shen Zhixian that this Dashun City would bother him to guard it for a while. ”

It was a very common thing for civil officials to guard the city in the Great Song Dynasty. Li Xin thought that at this time, the Tangut people would definitely not attack Dashun City easily, and when he and others attacked the village, even if the Tangut people had this thought, they would be tight because of the war and had no time to take care of it.

Chong Yong came out of the ranks, bowed to Li Xin, and took the arrow he handed out.

Therefore, when Shen Yun slept and woke up naturally, he walked into the public hall and saw only one person.

Chong Yong is a young man as young as Shen Yun. After many days of conversation, Shen Yun knew that this guy joined the army at the age of fifteen, and although he was taken care of by his family, his position in prison was all fought out by himself in the face of one war after another. Because of his perennial activities under the sun, compared to Shen Yun's fair complexion, Chong Yong is simply black charcoal.

Of course, such a complexion gives people a sense of heroism.

"Kind of prison, really don't see Li Zhan and Liu Duguan today?" Before he could speak, Shen Yun asked casually.

Li Xin did not inform Shen Yun, so he sent troops early, which was quite disrespectful to Shen Yun. Chong Yong could only bow down apologetically and said, "But I want to tell Shen Zhixian that this morning Li Zhan led the army to the village of Xuan. Before leaving, Li Chan ordered the general to be responsible for the escort of grain and grass. “

Shen Yun didn't care, and nodded at Chong Yong: "In that case, the kind of prison will come with me." In the past few days, a total of 7,000 stone of grain has been escorted from various counties in Gyeongju. Other forage armor and the like, I think you know best. Today, I planted and imprisoned and brought 2,000 stone of grain, and I will let others escort the other forage and weapons later. I don't know if it's possible? ”

Two thousand stone of grain was enough for the five thousand people led by Li Xin to eat for at least six days, and a small-scale war like this would not last long at all.

Chong Yong thought about it for a while and readily agreed.

sent away the seed Yong, and asked Jiang Ji to send out a team of hundreds of people to transport forage, and there were only 600 people left in Dashun City at once. The instantaneous emptiness of Dashun City made Jiang Ji look a little worried: "County Zun, let's do this, if the Xia people come over, I'm afraid that it will be a little difficult to defend." “

Shen Yun shook his head helplessly: "Then what else can I do." Now the focus of the war is on the deceitful village, and it will not hit Dashun City for a while. However, after this battle, it is estimated that things will not be so simple. That's it, during this time, the soldiers in the city went out to defend the city, and let them prepare as many things as possible to defend the city. Stones, rolling wood, and fire oil, prepare as much as you can, just in case. ”

Jiang Ji led the order to go out, and in the mountains fifty miles northwest of Dashun City, Li Xin had already lurked with his men.

The scouts reported the situation ahead again and again, and in the mountain pass, Li Xin repeatedly pondered the information that had been detected in the tense expressions of more than a dozen generals. He had never read a book such as "The Art of War", but he had fought with many generals over the years, and he also knew the importance of finding out information for war.

At this time, the information gathered made Li Xin suddenly have a lot of confidence in this big war. Because five scouts in a row all returned, the smoke that rose from the village at noon was less than fifty. According to the number of pots and stoves, Li Xin judged that there were only thousands of Xia soldiers in the village at this time.

In that case, what are you waiting for?

Li Xin raised his head and stared at the dozen generals present with serious eyes: "Everyone, success or failure is here." Tonight, two thousand men and horses were divided, and they surrounded me in the dark. At three o'clock, I will lead the people to attack head-on, and you must remember to guard every road down the mountain, and don't let any Tangut escape. Do you understand? ”

In fact, when they heard the scouts talk about the amount of cooking smoke in the village, these generals were not happy. It is human nature to bully the soft and be afraid of the hard, and when he got Li Xin's order, he nodded with a smile on his face.

The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when people are killed and set on fire. In order to conceal the army, the dinner was to eat dry food that had been prepared long ago. When night fell, Li Xin and a group of people stood on a hill, looking at the lights of the village in the distance. Even though there were scouts, these people were still anxious. They were to watch the Tanguts fall asleep in the middle of the night.

Then their manpower is ready to act.

In the deceitful village, Li Bao'er, the general of Zhengxing, sat in the courtyard, roasted a leg of mutton and ate and drank with a cadre and the little leader.

Although she occupies the national surname, Li Baoer is actually an ordinary herdsman. It was only later that he was conscripted into the captive army, plundered the Great Song Dynasty several times, and came to this deceitful village to defend it. Of course, because of the elevation of his identity and status, he also broke away from the captive army and officially became a part of the mountain. His team, which belongs to the Western Xia Jianing Military Division, is an extremely elite border team.

Earlier, he received an edict from the Jianing Military Division, asking him to take a few more days, and when the grain harvest of the Song people was completed, he would be asked to rob him of more than 100,000 stone of grain. This task made Li Baoer's heart full of excitement. Robbery means meritorious service, and meritorious service means promotion and wealth. In the past few years, although the majesty is majestic, but in the end it is on the border between the two countries, and it is false to say that you are not afraid.

Today's gathering is to give these people under them a lot of energy, and when it comes to the battle, they will also have a better spirit.

"Ladies and gentlemen, seeing that the autumn harvest of the Song people is about to begin, let's not go out hunting without permission during this time. Let's bear with it for the time being, in another month, when the time comes, Zongma Qingzhou, grab the gold, silver and grain, and grab a few more Song girls. Hey. Speaking of women, Li Bao'er remembered the guards in her house. With delicate skin and watery eyes, thinking about Li Bao'er, there is an evil fire burning from the lower abdomen.

Not only him, but many people in the courtyard have taken Song girls from captivity. They laughed at the end of the day, and then began to say some meaty words.

"General, I can't wait for what you say. If you don't eat and drink today, it will be over earlier, oh, the girl in my room, you don't know, obviously the strength is very small, and you have to struggle. Ha ha. The more I struggle, the more I like it. Brothers, how are yours, why don't we change them another day? ”

"Really? That's not tonight. ”

……

Just as these people were preparing for lewd pleasure, on the top of the mountain in the distance, a scout in front of Li Xin reported: "Eighty percent of the lights in the village have been extinguished. Today, there are 100 Xia people guarding the walled gate, and there are no more than 30 people in other places. There are two manned men stationed on the way up the mountain, and a small path, which I have personally explored, and there are no sentry posts. ”

I saw that the lights of the village gradually dimmed. Knowing that he had only seen Li Xin, he looked back at a cadre of generals: "Send troops immediately, remember, don't rush to attack the mountain, you are only responsible for stopping the Xia people who want to escape." I will lead people to attack head-on, once the village is broken, don't let go of any Xia people. ”

At the moment of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, a group of people bowed to Li Xin, and each of them took their men and horses to the foot of the mountain to sneak over. Even God, who seemed to be helping this group of soldiers, suddenly drifted through a dark cloud, which actually blocked the bright moonlight.
