The mountain path was very narrow, and twenty raiding soldiers lined up in a long line, one by one, climbing upwards, at this time, an arrow 'whoosh! The ground shot at the forehead of the Tangut soldier in the middle, and the Tangut soldier screamed in a long and miserable manner, and was killed instantly, rolling down the hillside.

The second soldier was so frightened that he hid behind his shield and did not dare to move for a long time, but when he just appeared, another arrow came at him strongly, this arrow hit the center of the eyebrow, and the second Western Xia soldier rolled down without even snorting.

Immediately after that, the third soldier and the fourth soldier were hit by arrows in succession, and all of them were killed by one arrow and rolled down the mountain.

Several Song soldiers on the mountain cheered repeatedly, Li Shenjun's archery skills were simply an eye-opener for them, as long as they showed up, they would be killed by an arrow.

At this time, the fifth Western Xia soldier and the sixth soldier also rolled down the mountain, the distance was too close, only more than 20 steps, the powerful arrow power was enough to penetrate the golden cracked stone, both of them were directly shot through the helmet by the arrow, the powerful arrow shot through the head, and several Song soldiers were dumbfounded, they could actually shoot through the helmet!

Li Yanqing shook his head, "It's a pity that there are two good helmets, but it is estimated that they can still be used." ”

At this time, the drums under the mountain were loud, this was the general Ye Li'an urging the remaining slave soldiers to continue the attack, he could see clearly, there was a sharpshooter on the mountain who was very accurate in archery, but Li Yanqing took off his official uniform, and he didn't recognize the archers for a while as the Song Dynasty officials worth five thousand slaves they were going to catch.

Wild Ian turned back to several crossbowmen and ordered, "Shoot him down!" ”

The five Western Xia crossbowmen rushed forward, raised their crossbows together, and aimed at a large rock at the top of the mountain, behind which the Song army's archers were hiding.

At this time, Li Yanqing had already shot ten Western Xia soldiers, and the remaining ten soldiers were lying motionless in the dirt, each holding a shield, and even his helmet could not block the opponent's sharp arrows, which really made them chill.

But the main general did not give them any chance, once again beating the drum to urge the war, the military discipline of the Western Xia army was extremely strict, those who did not obey the military order were punished with capital punishment, full of troops, under the sound of the drums of war, if they did not fight, even if they could retreat, they would be beheaded, and it would also affect the family.

The remaining ten soldiers had to get up and attack again in fear, but just as they got up, three consecutive beaded arrows were fired, and all three soldiers were shot through helmets and died.

At this time, Li Yanqing rolled on the spot and hid behind another boulder a zhang away, he shot four arrows in a row again, and without looking at the result, he retreated directly behind the boulder, and a Song soldier next to him gave him a thumbs up, and all four were shot.

"Li joined the army, and there are three others, they are going down the mountain."

Li Yanqing rolled again, and returned to the back of the original boulder, he suddenly dodged, and shot an arrow, which hit the back of the neck of the last place, but before Li Yanqing could shoot the second arrow, three cold arrows under the mountain shot quickly, and he had to dodge behind the boulder.

After a while, the Song soldiers who were observing next to him said loudly: "Joined the army, and the last two have gone down the mountain." ”

Li Yanqing gently kneaded his shoulders a few times, after all, it was a two-stone bow, and he opened the bow eighteen times in a row, which slightly made his arm a little sore.

Wang Gui hid in the bushes on the other side of the mountainside, he witnessed Li Yanqing shoot the Western Xia soldiers today, and shot eighteen people in less than half an hour, which really made Wang Gui stunned, and at this time, he sighed softly, "Damn, Lao Tzu will never be able to catch up with him." ”

"Officer, those two ran away." A soldier next to him reminded in a low voice.

Wang Gui immediately shouted in a low voice: "Follow me, stick to the roots of the mountain, don't let us be seen below." ”

Wang Gui saw that the last two soldiers withdrew, he immediately led five soldiers to run close to the waist of the mountain root cat, and in a moment ran to a pile of enemy corpses, Wang Gui was ruthless, he saw that two of them did not lose their breath, so he pulled out a dagger and wiped it on the necks of the two, and immediately cut off the trachea of the two, they worked together, peeled off the armor of the eighteen soldiers, took the weapons, each holding a bundle of armor and weapons, returned along the same road, and climbed to the top of the mountain from a hidden gap.

"Lao Li, this time you have gained a lot!"

Wang Gui and the soldiers put together the captured armor and weapons, and said happily: "Get twenty spears, eighteen war knives, as well as armor and shields." ”

"It's a pity there are no arrows!" Li Yanqing was a little regretful.

"Don't worry about it yet, put on the armor."

Wang Gui beckoned the soldiers to put on the armor of the Tanguts, and several of Li Yanqing's sergeants and Wang Gui's men were wearing relatively thin leather armor, which could not resist bows and arrows, and was far less sturdy than the double-layer leather armor of the Tanguts.

Each of them put on leather armor, took a spear and a shield, and they were fully armed.

At this time, a soldier ran over and whispered to Li Yanqing: "Joining the army, Lin Xiaoyi has already choked his breath." ”

Li Yanqing felt a pain in his heart, he put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and slowly walked to Lin Xiaoyi, who was lying in a corner, looking at the still childish baby face, Lin Xiaoyi had closed his eyes peacefully, a young man who was only thirteen years old died in the hands of the Xixia people.

Li Yanqing only felt that his heart was extremely uncomfortable, this was in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, these things should not have happened, but the war was still so cruel.

Just because there was a traitor in the Northwest Army, he did not hesitate to betray his colleagues and national interests for a little power, Li Yanqing gritted his teeth with hatred, and secretly screamed, "Zhao Yuan, if I, Li Yanqing, don't kill you, I will not be a man!" ”

Wang Gui stepped forward and patted Li Yanqing on the shoulder, "If you want to take revenge, let's talk about it later, let's think about how we can save our lives!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded silently and asked the two sergeants to bury Lin Xiaoyi on the spot.

He walked to the big stone and sat down and said, "The attack of twenty people just now is just a tentative attack, and the Tangut people are looking for our weakness. ”

"Our weakness is that there are too few people."

"That's right! This is our weakness, but it is also their weakness. ”

"You're saying they have too few troops?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "They are all cavalry, the cavalry is chasing us, two hundred people are more than enough, but they are attacking the mountain now, and they can't take advantage of the cavalry, so the number of people is not enough, I estimate that after testing this time, they will attack tonight." ”

"So what are we going to do?"

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "The best way is to kill their leader, although it will not scare them away, but at least it can delay a little time." ”

Wang Gui lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "I think it's too passive to stick to this mountain. ”

"It can't be said to be passive, you can think of a very clever strategy to go up the mountain, and suddenly make the Tangut people lame."

Wang Gui immediately became proud, "I said that I have more experience than you!" At that time, several brothers suggested hiding in the ravine, but I thought it was inappropriate, hiding in the ravine, the enemy would be condescending, and it would be better if we were in a high place, and it would have become our condescending, and they could not figure out where we were moving......"

"That's it! All right! Praise you and you will go to heaven, I have said that it is endless, or think about what to do next? Once it is night, it will not be difficult for them to attack the hill if they suppress us with bows and arrows. ”

Wang Gui smiled: "Our purpose is to delay time, the best way to delay time is to keep changing places, what else, go west!" ”

Li Yanqing looked at the sky, it was already dusk, and there was not much time left for them, Li Yanqing looked to the west again, there was a rare pine forest in the middle part of this hill, maybe they could use the forest as cover.

He nodded, "Then go west!" ”

Wang Gui saw that Li Yanqing agreed with his idea, and hurriedly added: "There must be an ambush of the Tangut people in front, preventing us from evacuating to the west will cause us a lot of trouble." ”

"It's okay, we have a shield and thick armor, so we are not afraid of their ambush."

．．．．．．．．

Night fell quietly, and when it was getting dark, Li Yanqing led eleven people to begin a rapid retreat to the west, and one of the soldiers led two horses to follow far behind.

Their retreat was very methodical, with four soldiers holding shields in front of them, and the ground was so rough that small ravines were constantly blocking the way, and they had to make detours, about seven or eight miles, and it was completely dark.

At this time, a ravine to more than ten zhang wide blocked the way, and not far from the opposite side was the pine forest, suddenly, a burst of arrows came at a rapid pace, clanging on the shield and the rocks next to it, everyone squatted down, and a low horn sounded on the opposite side of the ravine, 'Woo-'

Wang Gui was suddenly nervous, 'Lao Li, what should I do?' ”

Li Yanqing looked at the ravine, the ravine was about ten zhang deep, and it would definitely not be possible to pass from the front, but it could be passed from the side, just a little time, and he immediately said to Wang Gui: "You attract them here, and I will kill them from behind." ”

Li Yanqing took out a short sword from the horse bag, and hung a small bag of chess pieces on his waist, at this time, he felt two volumes of documents in the horse bag, which were the official documents he was going to go to Shenquan Village and Tongqin Village to inspect and investigate, his heart moved, he took out the two volumes of documents and handed them to Wang Gui, and whispered a few words to him.

Wang Gui smiled and nodded, "Don't worry!" I'll get it done. ”

He handed another leather bag to Li Yanqing, "Here are the eighteen daggers that have been seized, all of them are very small, it is estimated that they are their cleavers, you can take them!" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "It doesn't take that much!" ”

He picked out ten smaller daggers on his back, and without a bow and arrows, he slid straight down the side slope.

The soldiers looked at Li Yanqing's back with a little worry, and one of them asked Wang Gui in a low voice: "Is Li joining the army without a bow and arrow?" ”

Wang Gui smiled a little smugly and said, "You don't know, in a short distance, he has more powerful means than bows and arrows. ”

Wang Gui pulled out an arrow, stretched out his bow and set up an arrow, aimed at a black shadow on the opposite side and shot it, only to hear a miserable scream, and a Western Xia soldier was actually shot by him.

Wang Gui was stunned in his heart, he actually shot it, he suddenly burst with confidence, and felt that he was no less than Lao Li, Wang Gui took out another arrow, put it on the bowstring, pulled out the bow, and aimed at another black shadow........
