After that, Lao Gantou took the things on the table and entered the back door, and after a while, he came back again, took one or two sets of military uniforms, and said, "You change into them immediately, and I will send someone to send you there." ”

With that, he went out again. Leng Yi and Xiao Zhouhou changed into military uniforms, this old Gantou's eyes were also poisonous, and the military uniforms for Xiao Zhouhou and Leng Yi fit better. After they changed their clothes, Lao Gantou took them to the back door, and there were already a few more soldiers waiting there, Lao Gantou handed over a letter to Leng Yi, and asked him to catch up with the escort army, and then hand the letter to the leading general

Leng Yi and Xiao Zhouhou rode horses, followed the soldiers, and headed north. They traveled all night, and finally caught up with the Song army who was camping and resting to escort the smuggled arms on the evening of the third day.

Seeing the escorted army, Leng Yi's heart couldn't help but sink, the escorted soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were all armed with orthodox Great Song soldiers. Moreover, these soldiers are all strong and strong, and they are not ordinary soldiers at first glance. Obviously, it is not the local Xiang army in Qinzhou, but the elite forbidden army of the Song army!

Because most of the forbidden army is on the construction site of Jinmingchi, then this forbidden army of thousands of people should be the elite soldiers of the elite palace guard division in the elite of the forbidden army!

On this border thousands of miles apart, how could there be such an elite forbidden army of the palace guards? You must know that the forbidden army is basically stationed near the capital. Some of them were stationed on the border with the Liao State, because at that time, the Western Xia did not really establish a state, and was only subject to the Great Song Dynasty and a separatist force of the Great Liao, and there was no direct war with the Song Dynasty, and it was not even hostile. Therefore, the Song army in order to concentrate its forces against the Liao State. There was no elite forbidden army deployed here in Western Xia.

Well, this elite army. It's definitely from the capital!

And after Leng Yi left, the command of the forbidden army in the capital was Shi Baoji's father, Shi Shouxin!

Without Shi Shouxin's nod, it would have been impossible to mobilize such a forbidden army to the northwest border!

Leng Yi felt that there was a feeling that the mountain rain was coming.

However, he did not move, followed the soldiers who led the way into the barracks, found a capital, and introduced Leng Yi. Leng Yi took out Lao Gantou's letter. Gave the head to Nadu. Du Tou looked at it and nodded, but didn't say anything. Let Leng Yi and Xiao Zhouhou be on errands in their tents.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, the camp was set up and continued north.

The convoy escorted by their army also had two or three hundred vehicles, and it was huge, judging from the ruts. They were all very heavy, presumably loaded with heavy metal and weapons.

As you go north, the closer you get to the border, the more checkpoints you will encounter. However, in the face of such an elite forbidden army like them, these troops on the frontier did not dare to ask more. They didn't even dare to look at the wagon they were escorting. I let it go all the way.

On this day, they finally came to a pass on the border called Mt. Mochizuki.

This is a pass on the border between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, in a valley between the mountains, the official road leading to both sides passes between the valleys, and the slopes of the peaks on both sides are still relatively steep. There aren't many trees on the mountain, it's basically a grassy slope and some rocks.

Lao Gantou introduced him to this capital. is the rearguard of the army. Responsible for the supply of food and grass for this army. When we reached this mountain pass, we stopped.

Leng Yi had already inquired about the veteran soldiers and learned that he was almost at the border. After finding that the team had stopped, he pulled Xiao Zhou and walked along the wheels of the car along the line.

They were all dressed in military uniforms, and when they arrived, the soldiers seemed relieved and lazy. Therefore, no one cared about the two of them.

They soon arrived at the front of the team, and saw from a distance that there was also a group of soldiers on the opposite side, talking to the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty. Behind the soldiers, there was also a convoy. It stretches across the mountain pass.

Seeing the other party's soldiers, Xiao Zhouhou suddenly sighed.

Leng Yi said in a low voice: "What's wrong?" ”

"Those soldiers on the other side are not from Western Xia! It's Liao's! ”

"Huh?" Although Leng Yi had already expected that this batch of weapons and metals might be transferred to Da Liao, he didn't expect that it would be the soldiers of the Liao State who came directly to accept it! That is to say, there was not even a hand that changed hands in Western Xia, and it was directly taken over by the Liao State.

Leng Yi said in a low voice: "Are you sure? ”

Xiao Zhouhou nodded: "In the past, the envoys of the Liao State came, and the first emperor was very happy, and he once asked the accompanying guards of the Liao State to compete with the guards in front of the Forbidden Army Palace to test archery and horsemanship. At that time, many princes and ministers were invited to observe, and we were also invited to be husband and wife, so I saw the costumes of the soldiers of the Liao State. Absolutely, yes! ”

Leng Yi stared into the distance, nodded slowly, and suddenly said that he had a stomachache, Xiao Zhouhou also said, and the two of them got off the roadbed and got into the grass. Risking his waist, he left the road under the cover of the bushes. Halfway up Mount Mochizuki.

This Mt. Mochizuki is not very high, and from the middle of the mountain, you can see the situation of both sides below. Leng Yi fixed his eyes and took a closer look, one of them was Shi Shouxin's son Shi Baoji! And the other two, I don't know. However, looking at their familiar appearance with Shi Baoji, they should not be ordinary people.

Leng Yi took out the fireworks in his arms and shot into the sky, a red firework bloomed in the air, colorful and dazzling.

At this moment, everyone was taken aback. Eyes fell on Mount Mochizuki.

The people who were handing over the things of both sides with the generals who came to receive the Liao State at the pass were all surprised, Shi Baoji drew his long sword and said, "This is the contact signal!" Our whereabouts must have been discovered. ”

The Liao general waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, there are many of us, and there seems to be only one person on the mountain." No matter how bad it is, you can still retreat into the territory of Western Xia, and your soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty can still chase down Western Xia and arrest you? ”

Wei Xianxin next to him looked confident, and said, "Brother Shi, don't worry, we have already arranged everything, and there will be no chaos." ”

Shi Baoji thought about it, and was frightened for a while, waved his long sword, and said, "Surround the hill and catch the rabbit cub on the mountain!" I want to see who it is! ”

The soldiers quickly moved out and surrounded the hill. Screamed and rushed forward, but. I searched the entire hill, but I didn't find anyone.

I listened to the soldiers' reports. Shi Baoji looked at Wei Xianxin: "What's going on?" ”

Wei Xianxin's younger brother Wei Xianyong said: "Maybe it's fireworks set off indiscriminately by local people or children, since there is no trace of the enemy, then don't worry, quickly exchange things, and go their separate ways!" ”

The generals of Western Xia and Liao also nodded in agreement.

Shi Baoji waved his hand: "Drive the carriage through the pass!" ”

The soldiers agreed, waved their whips, and drove the wagon forward.

Unexpectedly, I just walked a few steps. I heard the clattering sound, and half of the carriage toppled over, and everything on it slipped down. scattered all over the ground, and sure enough, there were gold, silver, copper, iron and other metals as well as a large number of bladed weapons, among them, there were dozens of boxes of serial crossbows newly invented by the Song army!

This crossbow can be used with five crossbows, and can be used by a single person. If you use a special crossbow arrow, the accuracy is quite high, but if you use a normal arrow shaft, although the accuracy is reduced, it can form a powerful arrow rain suppression when used on a large scale. When the two armies face each other head-on, the power is still very amazing. Unexpectedly, this newly invented weapon, the Song army has not yet been equipped on a large scale, and a large number of finished products are already being equipped and transported to the hostile Liao [***] team!

Shi Baoji and the others looked at the overturned carriages in amazement. He was very surprised and said angrily: "What's going on? ”

A general ran up and reported: "General." Somehow, one side of the carriage collapsed, so the carriage toppled over. ”

Shi Baoji rode over, came to a carriage, turned over and dismounted, and inspected the wheels, the support on the wheels was broken, and as the wheels rolled, the pressure was uneven, and the whole collapsed.

"How did you do that? Now the wheels are broken, how can they do it! Shi Baoji was so angry that he pointed at the soldiers and scolded angrily.

The general of the Liao Kingdom came over, looked at the damaged wheels carefully, and said in a deep voice: "No, this is deliberately sabotage!" ”

"What? Vandalism? Shi Baoji stared at the general of the Liao Kingdom.

General Liao pointed to the broken wheel support axle on the wheel and said: "General, please look, this is a secret wound that has been broken by life, and it can't be seen from the outside, as long as the wheel moves, the force is uneven, and it will collapse!" - The person who destroys the wheel has a very high martial arts! And bold and careful, not to be taken lightly! ”

"Find out! Get this guy out! Shi Baoji roared.

The ordinary Western Xia general stroked his beard and muttered: "Maybe, it is the person who sets off fireworks on the hill!" ”

"That's right! It's definitely him, search! Be sure to find him out! ”

The general of the Liao State shook his head and said with pity: "No! If he is directed at us, and the destruction of the wheels is to prevent us from carrying things away, then as long as we exchange things, he will inevitably appear. Don't look for it! ”

Wei Xianxin also said: "This statement is reasonable! Hurry up and change! ”

Wei Xianyong said: "How to change?" The wheels of these hundred and ten carriages are almost broken! ”

The Western Xia general said: "This is easy to do, let the soldiers carry the things through the pass, put them on our Western Xia side, and be guarded by our soldiers, even if the Song army arrives, they can't help us." The things in our carriage, you just drive the carriage away. On that side, we will find another carriage to replace the damaged wheels, and then carry the things away. ”

"Very well, that's it!" Shi Baoji stood on the carriage and shouted, "Quick! All the soldiers, just carry the things to the Xixia Pass and put them on the side of the pass. Hurry! ”

The soldiers carried the boxes one by one and walked towards the Xixia side of the pass.

However, as soon as they reached the front of the team, several sharp arrows suddenly flew out of the grass on the road, and several soldiers who were walking in front were shot in the chest, screaming and falling to the ground and dying!

"There are assassins!" The soldiers, who had been rigorously trained, immediately threw down the boxes on their shoulders and lay on the ground, nervously observing. At the same time, the other soldiers drew their swords, and some of them threw arrows into the grass. But there was no movement.

Shi Baoji shouted: "Rush forward, catch it alive!" ”

The soldiers rushed with their blades in their hands and searched for nothing.
