This is Han Qi's request.

To use a vulgar analogy, take off your pants and fart, and do more.

This guy hates.

Zheng Lang had no choice but to spend money to buy a batch of pigeons. It's really not easy, there are very few people who keep pigeons now, and the role is not for communication, but also to satisfy people's gluttony. Many people keep pigeons in the capital, and a few keep pigeons or other birds for shows. But the most used to perform is the yellow bird, holding the bird brand to tell fortunes and divination for the common people.

Luckily, there was a family in Weizhou City, so he bought all the white pigeons he raised. It doesn't have to be white pigeons, there are other pigeons, Zheng Lang only ordered all the white pigeons in order to look good.

What to do?

The battle of Haoshuichuan made Han Qi too angry, and he didn't agree, so he thought about it vigorously, and persuaded him, saying that it could boost morale and sacrifice soldiers for justice. Zheng Lang negotiated with the old man, and also thought that anyway, although the soldiers of Gaopingzhai did not come in a hurry, they also needed a day of rest, so that they could drive dozens of miles in a row for a decisive battle. In this day and night, no matter how Yeli Yuqi checked, he couldn't find a single person.

Therefore agreed.

But something very funny happened in a while. These pigeons are different from those pigeons raised by Yuan Hao, they are raised for food, one by one fat and stupid, hovering in the sky for a while, looking at the terrain, very unfamiliar, I can't find where Weizhou is, so I flew, yes, let's go back to Ishikawa Village, although I am not my master, these days are Ishikawa Zhai these strangers are fed. It only flew for a while, and then landed again. Then he looked at the barracks outside with puzzled eyes. Looking at their stupid appearance, Han Qi was dumbfounded.

The effect is still there, and Yeli Yuqi has already quickly run back to the barracks to arrange.

Zheng Lang is not afraid of startling snakes.

The map of this era is very non-standard, unlike later generations, if there is a satellite cloud map can be seen, from Zhenrongjun and Sanchuan Village to the south, there are large green areas, that is, river valleys and plains. To the north, the green area is scarce, but there is one green line that stands out, and that is the Hulu River. Starting from the Zhenrong Army, until the Wuyan Qianxia, a long and narrow area. This kind of narrowness is on the map, and the area that is actually wide can be as wide as a dozen miles.

Before reaching the smoke, the gorge becomes open, and the green area to the north is getting narrower and narrower, the narrowest place is Xiaoguan, the north is the military town of Western Xia, and then to the north and gradually widens, until the south of Mingsha City, Huluchuan and the Yellow River meet.

However, in the Wuyan Qianxia Gorge, although it is a wide circular area, there are some sparse mountains and plains in this area. Between Pingchuan and the mountains in the east, there is Tiansheng Village and Qianxing Village. There are some scattered mountains and plains in the southwest, and the top point is the Shimen River.

To the east of Shimenchuan, there were some small mountains and low hills, where another army of Western Xia lay in ambush. Although the other main general, Cheng Kexun, was cautious and sent many scouts to seal the place tightly. However, if you have made arrangements in advance, sent a few people to hide by the sand pit on the side of a certain cliff, wearing thick warm fur clothes, covering their bodies with withered grass and thorns, and lying here for a day and a night, condescending, what else can not be seen?

Although it is difficult, there may not be many places to ambush the Song army from the south, just a few places, a few people are ambushed in one place, what information can not be obtained? Or first-hand information!

From Wuyanqian Gorge to the west, there is a faint fine green, which is Wuyan Gorge, which leads to Tiandu Mountain. Between Wuyanqian Gorge and Shimen Gorge is Mount Meru, and Shimen Gorge cannot see the green channel on the satellite cloud image, no matter how large it is, because this is originally a longer and narrower mountain road that passes through the mountains. It is a mountain road, not a plain or a river valley, but it is much closer to this road than to go to Zhenrong Village in the former gorge, and it also has a unique strategic position.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty later built Shimen City at the exit of Shimenxia, on the old pass of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the current confrontation site, and repaired Pingxia City in Wuyanqian Gorge, repaired Lingping Village in the south of Pingxia City, and repaired Chongning Village between Lingping Village and Gaoping Village, and Empress Dowager Liang was anxious.

Didn't take it, but was defeated back, the Song army and at the junction of Wuyan Gorge and Qianxia, the second temporary military village of Yeli Yu begging to repair the Qiang Village, between the Dangqiang Village and Xiao Pass, the two leading to Tiandu Mountain Road repaired the Tongyuan Village and the Shengqiang Village. It was the forced of these villages that once forced the Western Xia people to abandon Tiandu Mountain, making Tiandu Mountain the Xi'an Prefecture of the Song Dynasty, and the territory of the Song Dynasty was even expanded to the Western Regions at its peak. But success is also childish, and defeat is also childish. Tong Guan is mainly responsible for that maritime alliance.

There is a green area in the southwest of Shimen River, but there are many mountains separated from Shimen River and Wuyan Gorge, and it is not easy for the army to walk where it leads. After a long mountain road, there is a green area, and the west end of this green area is Liu Fanbao. Cheng Ke rewarded his troops to the south, which is the road he took. Because of the heavy mountain barrier, the strategic significance is not great. Of course, if the enemy is slowly climbing the mountain, the scouts will not see like blind people, or equal to zero.

Thinking of this, Zheng Lang was tempted again.

Let him raise troops all the way to confront Yuan Hao's national soldiers, he doesn't have the guts.

But what will happen if you repair the village and pick up the later Pingxia City, Shimen City, Lingping Village, Dangqiang Village, Tongyuan Village, and Chongning Village one by one and rebuild them?

I just thought about it, and I still felt that it was inappropriate, that the troops were too scattered, and it was very dangerous, so I couldn't help sighing, or continue to compress it, and put a bus on Jingyuan Road.

……

A flock of pigeons is stupid, give them freedom, don't choose, and have to come back to be a good meal for people. But the wild Li was frightened by the begging, the last big defeat, the relatives in his heart, some grass and trees were soldiers, so the big scouts went out to see, not only sent scouts themselves, but also ordered Cheng Ke to reward the scouts.

Even the scouts inspected the Tiansheng Village, but half a day passed, and a night passed, and there was not a single figure around. Not to mention the ambush soldiers of the Song Dynasty, even the scouts and the people did not see a single one.

Yeli Yu begged to feel that he was very miserable.

That used to be so troublesome?

As long as you give some small money, those tribes have their own news to themselves, and they don't need scouts to know every move of the Song army. Now out of the defense line of the Song Dynasty, he is still like a blind man.

Then I thought about it, I couldn't find Zheng Lang's scout, he was calculating the strength of the Song Dynasty.

He didn't expect Han Qi's strength at all, and what made Zheng Lang speechless to Han Qi again was that after hearing Zheng Lang's plan, his heart was even more moved. Before the battle, there were at least nine points to grasp the victory, so he quickly ordered Qin Fenglu to transfer another 10,000 troops over.

As Zheng Lang said, what are more than 20,000 troops, plus local Fan troops and archers, and more than 10,000 people, on Qinfeng Road?

Zheng Lang didn't know if he was really contributing, or if he sent troops over to grab credit after hearing about the plan.

However, some are too late, but it is not useless, as the battle really starts, Jingyuan Road will push most of the army to the north, and Han Qi's later army will take over the care of each village one by one. It is also necessary to prevent a surprise attack by Western Xia.

But a part of the army is in Qinzhou, relatively close to Jingyuan Road, advancing lightly, and actually rushed nearly 5,000 people, plus layers of troops pushed north, this is the origin of the more than 30,000 Song troops that Cheng Kesheng saw. But it's not all, in addition to this department and Zheng Lang's department, Jingyuan Road can also draw out more than 20,000 people, plus Fan Zhongyan's 10,000 troops, this is the real main army.

They won't disappear, in a place that wild beggars never expected!

These Yeli didn't know, so they were calculating the army on Jingyuan Road.

Qin Fenglu army he didn't think at all, either it was the army of Huanqing Road, that Fan Zhongyan wanted to pick up the cheap, it seemed that he gathered many Song troops in Huanzhou, and set off along Malingshui to White Leopard City, this is Lingwu Avenue, leading to Lingzhou, with a total length of nearly five hundred miles. It also played an important role in the early Song Dynasty, but after the two countries became enemies, they set up customs at various levels, and many sections of this road were gradually annihilated because they had been uninhabited for a long time.

But the speed of the march made Yeli beggar unbearable. When you climb to Lingzhou, your son will also hold his grandson.

This timid and cautious man has been excluded from his plans. Wait until the end of the Shimenchuan Battle to ensure that Fan Zhongyan retreats faster than a rabbit.

Therefore, only the Song army on Jingyuan Road is counted.

The number of troops is 70,000, plus 10,000 soldiers, a total of 80,000. It seems that thousands of people were sent to build a thin waist city, and I don't know if they came back, and even if they did, it was these troops. Archers and civilians can only play a role at home, and such a long journey can not be involved. The last battle bit itself, and the Song Dynasty also suffered casualties. So many villages, really don't stay in the army? In addition to this, only 40,000 or 50,000 troops can be mobilized. Consistent with current intelligence.

No matter what the conspiracy is, someone has to carry it out.

The Song army cannot be underestimated, but it is by no means the army of the Han and Tang dynasties in ancient times.

Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan 30,000 people, he didn't know, wouldn't this be fatal?

But why did this son release pigeons?

I thought about it with Zhang Yuan all night, but I didn't come up with it, and the next day Ye Li Yuqi did a very interesting thing, and came to Shimen Village to shout and let Zheng Lang come out to meet.

It seems that the two of them are a pair of good buddies, and they haven't seen each other for a few days, and they miss each other.

Yeli Yuqi asked: "Zheng Xianggong, why did you release the pigeons yesterday?" ”

"Lord Yeli, where do you seem to have tens of thousands of troops under your command?" Zheng Lang did not answer the rhetorical question.

Ye Li Yu begged and said, "Guess. ”

"Then you can guess too."

"Are you bluffing?"

"Whatever you want."

Without probing out the voice, Yeli Yuqi had no choice but to spread the scout again to investigate, this time in more detail, including the Hulu River, Wuyan Qianxia and the mountainous areas near the Shimen River for dozens of miles. But as a result, as yesterday, nothing was seen.

However, Cheng Kexun brought news that a large amount of materials had been transported into Gaoping Village of the Song Dynasty, waiting for his instructions.

Yeli met the beggar and discussed with Zhang Yuan, which seemed to be a false alarm. You don't have to look at the troops, you can also look at the terrain. Behind him are mountains, but the entire Shimenxia is under his control, including the outposts on Mount Meru, patrolling day and night, even if there are ambushes coming, he has nearly 40,000 troops in his hands, and he has made a defense in advance, how many Song troops have to arrive to defeat him?

Cheng Ke's reward department is ambushed in the nameless mountain, although it is ambushed in the mountain, there are many Pingchuan around, which is conducive to cavalry conflict and forge ahead, and how many Song troops can defeat Cheng Ke's reward department?

So he gave an instruction to be on the alert, to wait and see, and to do everything as planned.

The decisive battle has finally arrived.

But it wasn't the time chosen by the beggars.

Because he wanted to maintain his energy and prepare to bypass the Shimen River, the two armies were sandwiched by the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty, and Yeli Yuqi ordered that the surname Suo would not attack the village today.

Zheng Lang was more at ease, and also let the soldiers rest and prepare for a battle before dawn.

Then call the generals.

The layout of the other two departments has been planned for a long time, and Guan Jian is his one, which is to pursue the Yeli Division, or turn eastward and attack Cheng Kesheng Department on three sides.

Zheng Lang hung the map on the wall, and Zheng's drawing method was more accurate.

What is lurking in Cheng Ke is an unnamed mountain, because later generations seem to belong to the jurisdiction of Guyuan Sanying Town, Zheng Lang named it Sanying Mountain, and the Pingchuan River in front of the mountain was named Sanying River.

Others didn't know the meaning of the name, thinking that Zheng Lang might attack the three armies together, and it seemed too rustic to use the three army mountains, so they changed it to the word camp.

The old man said: "The number of troops divided depends on how lethal gunpowder can be. ”

Yeli Yuqi never expected that his army was encamped on a crater that was about to erupt.

The gunpowder was transported to Jingyuan, and when they saw its power, the three of them felt very bitter, and threw it with a stone-throwing machine, which had limited lethality, and the range of the stone-throwing machine was not far, and the accuracy was insufficient. And most of the enemies do not attack the village, or attack a village, attract the Song army to rescue, and encircle the point to help, but God knows which village they will attack?

Although the bigwigs of the DPRK and China are unfounded, it is not unreasonable. Since the whole country came to attack a village, even if there was gunpowder, it was not easy to hold the village. Then the gunpowder will be obtained by Yuan Hao, and let him get it, which is like a tiger with wings.

Buried in the ground, it's just a joke, how can you hide it from others, and how do you know that Yuan Hao will camp here? If Li Jing came over, it was difficult to guess.

After captive Li Lingming, Lao Chong and Zheng Lang's eyes lit up, with this prince in hand, they were not afraid that they would not send an army if they were not afraid of Yeli and begging. Although the Shimen River is large, the exit is not large. As long as the stockade chooses the right location and leaves not much space for Yeli Yuqi, you can judge the location where he camped.

So under the pretext of preparing grain and grass, the army was transferred to Zhenrong Village, leaving only 5,000 people, and the imperial court transported a total of 1,200 stone gunpowder in several batches. Sporadicly scattered in each village, more than 900 stones of gunpowder came to Shimen Village.

The understanding of gunpowder was still limited at this time, and it was used more in civil affairs, and fireworks and firecrackers were also used in the military, and they were mostly used for arson, so they were called gunpowder, not explosives.

The reason for this is that no attention has been paid to the seal surname.

When the gunpowder explodes, the lethality lies in the strong air pressure generated, if it is 900 stone gunpowder, under the conditions of complete achievement, it is theoretically enough to blow the main peak of Mount Tai into a piece of rubble. It's a theory, and it's good to actually be able to harness its true power to a thousandth of what it really is.

Therefore, the stronger the gunpowder seal, the better, and the bigger the better.

When waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from Lingzhou and Xingqing Mansion, Zheng Lang made some arrangements and ordered some iron sheets, large oil paper, and animal skins. Seventy or eighty stones are a huge bag, and then many iron nails and thistles are stuffed into it, wrapped in oiled paper animal skins, sealed with iron sheets, and oiled wax at the iron skin joints. A total of twelve bags were buried.

The bamboo pipe was led out, and he was afraid that Yeli would dig a tunnel, and he was suspicious when he dug the bamboo pipe, so he went around and passed through the foot of the low mountain in the north and went around to the city. Some are far away, so the fuses are very thick, and they are wrapped in oiled paper, and the joints of the bamboo pipes continue to be sealed with oil wax.

But the enemy would set up camp and lay wooden stakes, so they dug a little deeper, and more bamboo pipes were introduced, even if one bamboo pipe was pierced by a wooden stake, the fuse was broken, and there were other bamboo pipes.

The terminal of the fuse was in the basement of the empty house behind Zheng Langzhong's camp.

The reason why this is so is that they are afraid of fire. Sealed with a raised platform, even if there is a fire, the fuse in the basement will not suddenly ignite.

So after that day Ye Liyu begged to get down to the camp, Zheng Lang, Han Qi, and Lao Chong hurriedly went down to inspect.

If you have not been pierced by a stake, you can try to gently pull the fuse, and you can pull it back when you interrupt it. The result was very satisfying to them, not a single fuse could be pulled back, it is possible that the stake pressed the bamboo pipe and crushed the fuse, but it turned out that most of the fuses would work.

This trick has not been used, not for the part of Yeli Yuqi, which treats them as dead, but for the enemies on the side of Sanying Mountain.

As for the broken village, I have not worried about it at all, and there are still a large number of gunpowder bags in the village that have not been used. At least the power of its explosion will make Yeli meet the beggar fox for three or four days, and there will be three days and four days, and everything will be arranged.

The old man's question was a little sharp, and he looked at Zheng Lang together.

Zheng Lang spread his hands and said, "I don't know either." ”

So several people made five arrangements in total, and made different troop transfers according to different situations.

Zheng Lang asked again: "I want to save Yeli Yuqi." ”

Han Qi listened to it with a wit, could it be that you talk a lot these days, and you really have a relationship?

Zheng Lang looked at his eyes, rolled his eyes angrily, and said, "Brother Zhigui, think about it again." ”

Han Qi was speechless, this was the most important general in Western Xia, why did he save his life!

"Why should I put the Western Xia prince back?"

Once Ye Li Yu beggar was killed, this possibility surname is 999 out of 1,000, Zheng Lang once visually inspected, Ye Li Yu beggar in the middle of the army under the butt of the butt is exactly a powder bag. I don't know how many enemies I can kill, but Ye Liyu has to fly more than ten meters into the air and be a happy little bird.

Yeli was killed, what did Yeli Wangrong think, what did Queen Yeli think? Can Yuan Hao lose this face?

When the time comes, Yuan Hao is still forced to fight with himself.

Desperately with the power of a country and the power of one's own path...... Zheng Lang felt cold when he thought about it.

Counting on the imperial court, see how tightly you are urging it, it's almost twenty days, does the imperial court have a decree?

Besides, this Yeli Yu beggar's military ability is just like that, and it is definitely not as good as Di Qing and the old species. There is an old breed and a beautiful girl in the back, and sooner or later it will not be good to die. Zheng Lang is not fierce.

Looking at his comrades-in-arms again, Fan Zhongyan is grinding, he can't be blamed, the army is deep into the enemy's territory, it is a little difficult for Fan Zhongyan, and he is also watching, if he is in a big victory, he will definitely send troops. If he is defeated, the forces of Huanqing Road are in his hands, and he can make a strategy and prevent the deterioration of the situation in Shaanxi. For this reason, I deliberately wrote to make it clear.

You can do whatever you like, anyway, Yuan Hao was dragged by the Song Army on Fulin Road, and he was not allowed to come back for the time being.

But this conservative tactic can only force Zheng Lang to seek stability.

And as soon as Yeli died as a beggar, there was no one left to negotiate.

Han Qi was puzzled at first, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Xingzhi, if you want to keep him, leave him, anyway, this person has a vain name, and that's it." ”

The decision was made, and the three armies rested.

At the fourth watch, Zheng Lang ordered everyone to get up and prepare, put on armor, and take weapons. Then he did one thing, demolished the house and threw the thatch from the roof out of the city.

After several days of watering, and then trampled by the siege soldiers of Western Xia, the outside of the city was almost a quagmire.

Yeli Yuqi was also awakened, came to the city wall, and asked curiously: "Zheng Xianggong, what are you doing?" ”

"I'm paving the way so I can get out of the village and attack your army."

"Hahaha," Noriyu laughed.

Zheng Lang looked at the sky and ordered the soldiers behind him: "All plug your ears with cloth balls and open your mouths wide." ”

It is estimated that it will not be possible to block it, and the mouth must be opened to avoid air pressure causing damage to the eardrum. Then he pointed at Zhang Yuan and asked, "Who is this person?" ”

Yeli Yuqi was about to introduce him, and Zhang Yuan said: "I am the staff of King Yeli. ”

This kid was a little weak-hearted, and he didn't dare to report his name and surname, so that Zheng Lang regretted it for a long time. When he heard that it was a staff member, Zheng Lang didn't care and scolded: "Han thief." ”

"Those who know the country will wait, and those who know how to hook will be punished." Zhang Yuan said lightly.

Zheng Lang ignored him, threw a few cloth balls to Yeli Yuqi, and said: "King Yeli, watch me plug my ears later, and you will also plug it, I don't want you to become deaf." ”

"Zheng Xingzhi, what are you going to do?"

"King Yeli, let's talk here, why don't you ask me about the conditions for the release of your prince?"

"You say after the war."

"It can be said now, it is not difficult to change back the crown prince, return Liu Ping, Shi Yuansun and Li Shibin, as well as the prisoners of war in Sanchuankou, to our dynasty, and I will release the prince."

"Then you will return my men as well."

"I have expressed enough kindness, you think that your prince of Western Xia is not worth the price of a few captures, just because I didn't say this." There is no need to rush to talk about this, the main thing is to drag Yeli to beg and not let him go back. As he spoke, he turned his head and looked, and saw that Song Jun was all ready, and looked at the sky again, the night was still very dark, but the morning star was bright, so he pressed his hand down. Han Qi left, it was originally an old plant, so this guy grabbed it again.

Helpless!

Zheng Lang continued: "Plug your ears, and stand firm." ”

Ye Li Yu begged for some reason, I didn't know what the hell was going on in Zheng Lang, but he really believed it, picked up the cloth ball and stuffed it into his ears.

Han Qi also entered the basement, led the torch with the tongue of fire, and used the key to open the small iron door in the basement, there were many bamboo pipes inside, and more than a hundred fuses stretched out of the bamboo pipes. Han Qi lit it with a torch, and the fuse quickly sounded a sizzling sound, disappeared after a while, and was no longer visible.

Han Qi left the basement and also came to the city, looking at the enemy camp.

Ye Li Yu took off the cloth ball and asked loudly, "Who is this person?" ”

Zheng Lang also said loudly: "He is Qin Fenglu's envoy Han Qi to appease the scriptures, plug your ears." ”

Ye Li Yuqi saw Zheng Lang speaking solemnly, plugged his ears again, and suddenly shouted: "Han Qi! ”

It was too late, and twelve earth-shattering loud noises came out one after another.

The mountain shook, and then Wild was horrified to see the gates of hell open to him.
