The entire periphery of the new city was agitated, and the party members in Xicheng were fighting against the enemy.

The party members in Dongcheng, Nancheng and Beicheng have not yet figured out the situation, let alone a clear military order to convey it.

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, the two young juniors, took the lead, and the spears in their hands rushed into the crowd like cutting melons and vegetables, and there was no enemy at all, and the team continued to advance with Yue Fei and Han Shizhong.

The carriage full of baggage was wrapped in the middle by everyone, and more than 10,000 foot soldiers lined up on both sides of the carriage and marched forward in a neat formation.

The four or five thousand party members outside the eastern city heard the shouts of killing in the distance, and all of them stood up anxiously.

The leading generals hurriedly sent scouts to check on them. Soon after, when the scouts returned, several generals immediately discussed.

"General, I thought that Liu Fa wanted to break through, but it was Song Dog who attacked Xicheng from outside the city. I'm going to rush to help. A general spoke.

"In the future of the military order, we must not leave the place of the East City without permission, the order issued by the marshal is to besiege the city, how can we leave the position without authorization, if Song Dog Liu Fa leads the troops to the East City, the marshal is fighting hard with Zheng Zhi, and he will inevitably suffer from the enemy." The main general has a bit of strategic vision, but also the order of Renming is limited, and he did not expect that Xincheng would be attacked by the enemy.

Liu Fa had already arrived at the top of the West City at this time, looked at the busy soldiers under the city, and shouted hoarsely: "Quick, quickly move the city gate and rush out." ”

Five thousand soldiers have gathered under the city, some on foot and some on horseback, but the hole in the city gate is too sealed to death, and it will not be possible to move a road for a while.

Liu Fa walked around on both sides of the city, looking at the stones moved out of the doorway for a while, and then looking at the Song army rushing outside the city, looking very anxious.

Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing were on the left and right, and the speed at which the two of them advanced was completely beyond Liu Fa's expectations. It also caused Liu Fa to be even more anxious, if the people outside the city arrived at the city, the city gate had not been moved, and the party items on all sides were surrounded, they would inevitably fall into a bitter battle, and they would miss a major event.

In infantry duels, the party members are not opponents at all, not to mention armor and the like, even the weapons of the party members, which are not of the same grade at all. Swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, the weapons of the party are really varied, and they can't form a stable and orderly infantry battle formation.

The method of infantry is different from that of cavalry, and the party members have always been good at riding, controlling horses like arm commands, and they can come and go in close formation, and the impact is full. However, the method of infantry must be strictly practiced, and a neat queue is the most basic requirement.

In the face of the battle array of spear-like soldiers, the party members who responded in a hurry were really helpless. After the party members dismounted, they completely changed from tigers to sheep, and the gap between the infantry battle formation and the ordnance and equipment was not something that could be made up by being brave and not afraid of death.

Wei Ming Renming led his troops to chase Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi's head was already within reach, where could the cooked duck fly away at this time,

More than 40,000 healthy horses, galloping in this land, are too terrifying. The number of 40,000 cavalry is not an easy number. When Temujin destroyed Jin, there were only tens of thousands of cavalry, and the military strength of Jin was ten times that of Temujin. Just like the Jin people destroyed Liao, when the Jin people were at the most, they were only tens of thousands of horses, and the real daughters were less than 20,000. Liao's military strength is more than ten times that of the Jin people.

The number of troops in cold-weapon warfare often cannot be used as the basis for deciding victory or defeat.

Zheng Zhi buried his head and ran wildly, at this time, he just wanted to quickly get out of the battlefield and get rid of the famous Renming who was chasing behind him. There are too many enemies, and once you are bitten, you will inevitably be encircled, and there will never be room to turn over.

After running for more than half an hour, the party members who were already out of sight were getting closer and closer at this time, and they were about to catch up.

Zheng Zhi and the others are all wearing heavy armor, and the party items are all light horses, so they will naturally chase closer and closer.

Zheng Zhi was in a hurry, and shouted again and again: "Change horses, change horses." ”

Zheng Zhi obviously doesn't have the talent of the party to walk on horseback, and he can't stop running away to change, so the process of changing horses is also extra careful.

Slowly pulling another healthy horse to his side, and waiting for the two horses to be in parallel, Zheng Zhicai got up on the horse's back and carefully climbed onto the back of the other galloping horse.

The rest of the soldiers followed suit, and climbed cautiously on horseback.

When the horses were changed, the speed of the gallop suddenly increased a lot. The benefits of one man and two horses are obvious, and this is how the Mongols can win thousands of miles away.

After another moment, the party disappeared from view.

Zheng Zhi was not at the front of the queue, but he knew that he was about to reach the fork in the road, so he shouted: "Go forward and order the right to turn west and go straight to Huangzhou." ”

The more he chased, the more angry he became, and he sat down and kept galloping, and the horse's back had been drawn out of blood by Renming's whip.

"Hurry up, hurry up and catch up, you can't let Zheng Zhi escape." Renming really didn't expect Zheng Zhi to retreat suddenly. In Wei Ming Renming's heart, Zheng Zhi has a fixed impression, that is, he is brave and indomitable, even Wei Ming Renming himself knows that he seems to be inferior to Zheng Zhi at this point. So I didn't think in my heart that Zheng Zhi would turn around and run away after the war.

Zheng Zhi's escape caught Wei Ming Renming a little off guard, and Zheng Zhi in front of him was also near and far. Ben was already close to only two or three hundred paces away, and suddenly there was a figure in sight.

Until this time, Wei Ming Renming was suddenly shocked in his heart, remembering that the Song people in front of him were all one person and two horses, and he seemed to think of something in his heart.

Obviously, Zheng Zhi took so many horses, did he make up his mind to retreat early in the morning?

If he made up his mind to retreat early in the morning, then what was Zheng Zhi fighting this battle with himself for?

Wei Ming Renming suddenly lowered the speed of the horse, slowly reined in the horse, and the left and right generals also hurriedly went to pull the reins.

Wei Ming Renming frowned and asked, "Can someone come to the city to report?" ”

"Dashuai, we are waiting to chase dozens of miles, even if there is a report, I am afraid that we will only chase on the road."

Wei Ming Renming frowned, and hurriedly said, "Quickly send someone to take a look." ”

Wei Ming Renming became more and more uneasy, and felt more and more that Zheng Zhi seemed to have some conspiracy.

In the new city, the generals on all sides finally received the order to support, and rushed to the outside of the west city with half of the soldiers under their command.

The west gate of the city has been opened, and the soldiers in the city have also poured out, joining forces with Yang Zaixing and Yue Fei, resisting the party members rushing up on both sides.

Zhu Long began to enter the city with heavy wagons and horses. Today's Zhu Long is different from the past, in the past, it was only after the end of the war that Zhu Long came out to finish and explain some things about collecting corpses and treating the wounded.

Today, Zhu Long is also fighting more than once, and there are several lives under his command, Zhu Long is also a person with martial arts, and he is also a senior disciple of Luan Tingyu, although he is not as good as Zhu Biao, but he is also skilled in bows and horses. In the face of these party members today, they really played a prestige.

The combat power of these party members is greatly reduced after dismounting, not only because of poor ordnance or insufficient training, but also because there are too many baby soldiers among them, if the child soldiers are on horseback, they can still exert a lot of strength, at least the speed of the horse can bring a bonus to lethality. But after getting off the horse, it was too much worse, and the weapons he took were much smaller, and he was really powerless in the face of iron armor.

Liu Zhengyan followed Zhulong into the city, and as soon as he entered the city, he went straight up the stairs to the city.

The father and son reunited, feeling melancholy and joyful.

Liu Fa doesn't show much, he still has a confident old god, and an old man like Liu Fa habitually hides the waves in his heart. Just like facing countless party items outside the city, holding on to more than ten days without seeing reinforcements, no matter how anxious he was, he still showed a confident appearance.

Liu Zhengyan rushed to the front with an excited face, and wanted to express some excitement, but seeing that Liu Fa was not very excited, he retracted his movements, and only asked one sentence: "Is my father in good health?" ”

Liu Fa nodded, stepped forward and patted his son's shoulder a few times, and only said: "It's very good, the party is not the same as Erer, in the Pingxia Battle of that year, the party was known as 400,000, but it was also a feather, and today it is only 100,000 party items, no problem." ”

The pride in Liu Fa's heart lies in this, and the war he has experienced is the source of Liu Fa's self-confidence. More than 20 years ago, the party gathered the country's troops to the south, once reached outside Yan'an Mansion, and gathered an army of 400,000 outside Pingxia City, but it was in Pingxia and returned.

The party's 400,000-strong army only killed and wounded less than 3,000 Song troops.

After three years, the party members raised an army of 500,000 again, and the party members who were known as the 500,000 army returned in Pingxia City. After the two wars in Pingxia, the party no longer had the national strength of hundreds of thousands of troops to go south.

After the mediation of the Liao, the Western Xia made peace with the Great Song Dynasty. But this covenant of vassals does not have the effect of a few years.

Twenty years ago, when the two wars were peaceful, the elite of the Western Army had only tens of thousands of people to resist the enemy. After the two wars, the Great Song Dynasty frontier advanced a lot, and more advance forts were built, and Tonghui Fort was one of them.

The world thinks that Song is incompetent, but they don't know that Song has many commendable points in foreign military wars, and there are many big victories. Maintaining peace for Liao for a hundred years is also shooting the commander of Liao before the battle, and promoting the alliance of Tanyuan. It has an advantage over Western Xia.

Some people say that Tanyuan is a shame, but it is too one-sided, at that time, the Liao State was too powerful, from the Mongolian Plateau to the Great Khingan Mountains, Siberia, and Liaodong. It's all Liao! Song is weak, Tan Yuan to promote peace with the army, it is already the best result, without Tan Yuan, the Liao people go south every year, either "hit the grass valley" to loot materials and population slaves, or attack the state capital, the Yang family guarded the border, all dead and wounded, it can be seen that the suffering of the border people. Only after the sum of a hundred years can there be the great development of the Great Song Dynasty society.

The sixteen states of Yanyun were not lost in the hands of Song, but Song did not have the ability to take him back Yanyun. If you want to talk about sinners, Shi Jingjiao of the Jin Dynasty was a national sinner after a short life, rebelled for his own selfishness, rebelled against the Later Tang Dynasty, recognized the Khitan Emperor as his father, and was willing to be the son emperor of the Khitans, and ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan for help. Eleven years after the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, it was also destroyed by the Khitans.

If Shi Jingjiao did not rebel, the Liao people could not enter Yanyun, the Later Tang Dynasty and the Liao people fought in Dingzhou, the Khitan was defeated, and the Khitan at that time sent envoys to negotiate peace with the Later Tang Dynasty for a long time, and several commanders were captured by the Later Tang army, and the Liao people even took a lot of money to go to the Later Tang Dynasty to buy the captured generals.

However, history is like this, the Later Tang Dynasty was destroyed by the rebel general Shi Jingjiao, and Shi Jingjiao's Later Jin Dynasty was only eleven years old and was destroyed by the Liao. The rise of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the general of the Later Zhou Dynasty turned against the little emperor, and with the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was also regarded as an immediate emperor to win the world, at least he still dared to fight and was indomitable. A hundred years later, the Great Song Dynasty is no longer the original Great Song Dynasty.

"Report, more than 10,000 Song troops rushed into the new city from the west." The scout finally arrived in front of Renming.

Hearing this, Renming was stunned and almost fell off his horse. Stabilizing his figure, he asked, "What?" How did the Song people rush in? ”

"Dashuai, the Song people suddenly came from the west, more than 10,000 ironclad foot soldiers, straight into the west of the city, Liu Fa Kaicheng in the city to lead troops to respond, more than 10,000 Song troops, have entered the city." That's probably all the scouts know.

Wei Ming Renming didn't know where he was put on by Zheng Zhi, he was furious, jumped off the horse directly, pulled out the short sword at his waist, and said angrily: "Go to Liqi, damn it." The herald ordered the beheading. ”

Xiang Li is also one of the eight major tribes of the party. Obviously, Xiang Liqi was the main general in charge of besieging the new city.

When the generals of the left and right army heard this, they hurriedly came forward to persuade: "Marshal, you can't kill Liqi, you can't kill Liqi, you are the head of the tribe, if you kill it, you will go to Li's 20,000 horses, but I am afraid that I have no intention of fighting." ”

Wei Ming Renming didn't answer, got on his horse and turned around and left, hurrying to the city.

When the army returned, tens of thousands of cavalry surrounded the city, and Wei Ming Renming was in front of the battle, looking at the city.

There were countless shiny iron armors above the city, and it became more and more gloomy to see that Wei Ming Renming's face became more and more gloomy.

Liu Fa was also at the head of the city, and when he saw the golden armor appearing in sight, he obviously knew who the Jin family was, and said: "Come on, bring up the bundles of arrows, and put them neatly on the battlements." ”

Liu Fa's approach is nothing more than a blow to the morale of the party members outside the city, and the increase in the number of people is only an ordinary blow to the party members, and the mountains of arrows are the real deterrent.

Bundles of arrows were stacked at the battlements of the city wall, and more and more, and they could not be put into the battlements.

Liu Fa didn't give up, and shouted in his mouth: "Shoot me, there are many arrows, send some down for the party members." ”

Yue Fei was also on the side, and when he heard this, he took out a three-stone hard bow, pulled one out of the pile of arrows, and bent the bow to shoot.

The arrows flew two hundred paces away and stuck in the dirt. It's not far in front of Renming Wei.

Wei Ming Renming didn't know what Liu Fa's actions meant, so he opened his mouth and said angrily: "Beat the drum, attack the city, let the Liqi lead the troops first, let him go up, the city is not broken, and Mingjin is not allowed to withdraw the troops." ”

Xiang Liqi was not beheaded after all, and the internal stability of the party members was obviously extremely important.

The military drums outside the city were loud, but Liu Fa was not in a hurry, while instructing the soldiers to move the arrows from the battlements again, while turning back and slowly descending to the city. Obviously, he also knew in his heart that the name of the party was obviously annoyed and angry, and the effect of ridicule was achieved.

As for the party's drumming, it will take a while before the attack begins.

Zheng Zhi was already on the way to Huangzhou, entered Huangzhou, went to Liangzhou, and went straight to Yumen Pass from the Gobi Desert.
