To the west of Lou Fu and between the mountains in the southeast of Yifang, the original river valley road has become a mud pond, but the rain is still falling wantonly in the ocean, enveloping the four fields.

Several Jurchen military villages were built along the mountain, and they were controlling this key army passage. The Jurchen army village is full of battle scars, there are buried trenches, broken fences, bows and arrows, and they are all around. Originally, under the strong attack of the elite of the Dragon Guard Army for several days, some siege equipment was dragged in with great difficulty, but with the arrival of this continuous rainstorm, these crumbling Jurchen military villages finally supported it. In the heavy rain, you can still see the figure shaking, but it is the Jurchen Tartars who are forcibly driving the mouth to repair the village defense in the cold rain.

The headquarters of the Dragon Guard Army also took refuge in high places, set up a fortification, and confronted the Jurchen Tartars with big eyes and small eyes. Watching the Jurchen Tartars desperately repair the village defense, they were helpless. Manpower is sometimes poor, such terrain, such rain, no matter how tough and well-trained the Dragon Guard is, they can't rise up an offensive!

And in the valley road below the mountain, there are abandoned attacking tools everywhere, there are small stone cannons, there are nest carts erected high, and there are mobile grass factories used to avoid arrows, which are now half buried in the mud. Even if the rain stops, it won't be able to clean up for a while.

If you want to break through the heavy interception of the Jurchen Tartars and reach the city of Yifang, it seems that it is even more difficult now!

The forced eastward march of King Yan's troops to save the battle situation in the east of the river was already a bad battle. No one knows whether the Yan Yan army, which is advancing eastward, will be able to support it if the Jurchen Tartars transfer the offensive. Now I only hope that even if the Yan Yan army and the Zhejia army are defeated, they will not be defeated out of control, and they can still protect the main force and rely on the Yellow River to defend the palace. Or limit the main force of the Jurchen Western Route Army to the battlefield east of the river. Waiting for King Yan's department to gnaw all the way through. Then go to the Jurchen Tartar decisive battle!

In the front of a military village, above the wall, outside the military village, there are sergeants wearing robes and hats patrolling the detachment.

Outside the military village, several deep and wide water diversion ditches were dug, and the turbid torrents rushing down from these ditches roared and swirled, making a whining sound.

Inside the military village, the best cowhide camp curtain is neatly set up. Whether it's a resting sergeant or a folk man who hasn't retired. They were only in the camp, and they didn't see a single idle person.

In the fence, a row of seats was set up, and a large cauldron was set up in it, and the fire was raised for twelve hours, constantly boiling and boiling the cold drink. And every other hour they were distributed among the tabernacles. And the sergeants who are on patrol and even brave the heavy rain to spy hard, as long as they pass by, they can be used at any time. In the rain, there is more of a fresh fragrance of herbs.

The military village here is a strict and complete place. It is far more than the rear of the Hehe Jindu, relying on the Yellow River to transfer supplies, and the military village on the rear road of the Yanyan army!

These are set up in a hurry. There is still a strong weather in the heavy rain, and the reason for this comes from the reason. In addition to the fact that the Long Wei Army is led by Yue Fei himself, he has always been the first in Xiao Yan's department in terms of military discipline, which is slightly better than the Shenwu Changsheng Army. Another important reason is that King Yan is also on the front line personally!

As the king of Yan, he can go to the former enemy in person and endure the torrential rain with everyone. What is there to endure and what is there to complain about?

Xiao Yan came to such a former enemy in person, not without the desperate admonition of the generals and staff, but he pressed Xiao Yan unprecedentedly hard.

Now Xiao Yan is most concerned about the war of the Yan army east of Yifang. Because there is an army of Jurchen Tartars in the middle, even if you can use the cover of the mountains to shuttle back and forth to the sentinels, but the news is difficult to come after all and there is still some delay. If you don't come in person, you really can't grasp the military situation that arrives in time, and if you don't take measures to deal with it in time, Xiao Yan can't afford this consequence.

As for his own safety, Xiao Yan, who was in the difficulty mode of Yanyun vs. Hell at the beginning of the crossing, could only express hehe. Now with thousands of elite guards, the Jurchen Tartars just can't shrink back to fight a defensive battle, so what the hell is there to worry about.

In the past few days, Xiao Yan has only lived in the tent, and the ground in the tent is just muddy, and there is a smell of cowhide resurgence everywhere. In the heavy rain, the supplies could only be transported with difficulty, and Xiao Yan also ate brown rice and dried meat like the sergeants, and the portion was halved. Originally, Xiao Yan also wanted to implement the rules when the battle was transferred to Yandi, if the military food was insufficient, let the sergeant eat first, and the military general would include himself, and what was left to eat, whether he was full or not was him. This time it didn't work, as soon as the gossip that King Yan didn't eat and the army ate first, the camp was about to make an uproar, and Xiao Yan could only reluctantly withdraw his life.

Just to reduce clothes and meals as a gesture, the sergeants feel that this is the same thing, the man who licks the blood and fights for his life every day is not so easy to bully. But King Yan is to the front of the enemy, his life is with the army and Han, standing on the wall, King Yan can look at the Jurchen Tartars on duty!

can do such a thing, but as a soldier, no matter how hard the war is, no matter how fierce the enemy is, what can he be straight? In the past few days, no matter how heavy the rain is, no one has been lazy when they go out to patrol the sentry posts, and they are still enthusiastic. The rain was a little urgent, and without waiting for the call, the people who stayed in the camp made a fuss to strengthen the village defense and dredge the water diversion ditch.

The army was short of food, empty and half-diarrhea, and the soldiers and soldiers who were guarding the village did not dare to be slack and sloppy. Although the possibility of the Jurchen Tartars coming out to attack the camp is too small, but King Yan is in front of the enemy, and if there is a case, everyone will die without redemption!

In addition to these things on the bright side, there are also some scenes that Xiao Yan can't see when he patrols the camp.

With Xiao Yan's guards, there are more than 100 Yan Wang Zhijia soldiers. For a few days, their mounts were simply not cared for at home, and many of the sergeants saved rations to feed their mounts, and the horses were draped in the felt of the sergeants, and they were kept dry at all times.

These Yan King Straight Armor Soldiers were originally the same as Xiao Yan, and their rations were also halved. But every time there was a meal, a military general would sneak over and bring food. It's all saved from their portions. Yan Wang Zhijia subconsciously wanted to refuse, and these generals turned their faces upside down.

“………… I also paused in the mink hat, and at that time I also had the responsibility of guarding the king of Yan! At that time, you bird, you didn't know where the birds were! King Yan was facing the enemy, and no one could persuade him. In case there is a police. Horses have no strength, and people have empty stomachs. There is a just in case. What should we do with these people who have been pulled up by King Yan? Straight thief for me to eat! Don't eat believe it or not, I'll stuff it into it for you? ”

Xiao Yan didn't know from beginning to end that in the past few days, his stomach was half empty, and he often woke up hungry at night, but these guards under his command often secretly burped behind his back! If it weren't for the fact that there was only dry meat and brown rice, and the oil and water were almost there, these guards would have their faces flushed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sound of footsteps stepping on muddy water sounded outside, outside the humble Chinese army tent. Yue Fei was coming with a few guards.

There is no need for Xiao Yan to take the lead in front of the enemy, as long as he is in battle, Yue Fei has always been on the front line to control the battle situation. In the past few days, he has been in the front-line military village, and Xiao Yan's military village thinks that he is at a corner. And Yue Fei personally led the patrol in the rain every day, and several military villages were seen one by one, which was several times harder than usual.

also had to come to Xiao Yan's Chinese army tent every day, and there was nothing else to say, just to persuade Xiao Yan to retreat a little. was also sent back by Xiao Yan every time.

At this time, Xiao Yan's so-called Chinese army tent is also very simple, that is, it is composed of one and two small tents. Outside, there is a tent where the Yan King Zhijia Shi lives in a circle. When you are facing the enemy, you can't put on a heavily guarded appearance. Otherwise, it would be a troublesome thing to attract the attention of the Jurchen Tartars.

At this moment, there are not many guards on duty outside, only Guo Rong wears a double knife and a male armor, and only walks around outside the central tabernacle.

Xiao Yan's status at the moment has already gained some rigidity, but whenever he makes a decision, he will say the same. And Guo Rong's stubborn temperament can only be exceeded. said that Hu Wei decided Xiao Yan, that is, it was decided, even if Xiao Yan went to the edge of the sky, she would just follow. The officers and men in the army have long turned a blind eye to this future concubine and temporary personal guard of King Yan.

This is the concubine of King Yan who has been guarding all the way in Yingzhou and Longshouzhai, even if she appears in the army, it is just a matter of course, how can she be treated as an ordinary woman!

In the rain, Guo Rong's complexion became more and more beautiful, and she seemed to be so clean that she didn't seem to be stained with vulgarity. The male armor is on his body, but he looks more and more thin and long, and he doesn't know how the bulging armor can wear such an effect.

Seeing Yue Fei coming, they were all acquaintances, Guo Rong nodded as a salute, and after Yue Fei returned the salute, he asked softly, "Where is King Yan?" ”

Guo Rong also replied softly: "After patrolling the camp yesterday, several teams of sentry horses sent before returned one after another, and he met them one by one, asked repeatedly, and then circled around Mutu, and did not close his eyes until dawn............ Are you asking to see you now? ”

Yue Fei hesitated slightly.

From here, the sentinels heading east were being sent out at a very high density. Didn't Yue Fei summon several teams of returning sentinels last night?

The battle in the east has come to a standstill, and it seems that the balance has been maintained. The main force of the Jurchen Western Route Army is concentrated close to Yifang, the tent is cloudy, and at night it is like a sea of sparks, and you can see it from afar when you stand on the top of the mountain. In this way, the Yan army went straight to occupy Hehe County.

After all, Yan Yanjun is the old foundation of the Western Army, and he has a lot of skills in guarding the palace. Relying on the governance of Hehe County, there are also passport coverings along the back road. It's a steady footing. The main force of the Jurchen Western Route Army, which was gathered near Yifang, wanted to attack sideways at this time, and it was already not so easy to shake the position of the Yan Army.

But Yue Fei never believed that Zong Han's troops would turn around and continue to fight hard with his own military horses in the river valley road!

While he was paying close attention, an unprecedented rainstorm suddenly came, and the range that the sentinels could reconnoiter suddenly shrank by half. At this time, as long as he is the one who commands the army, who is not a person with a high heart?

Xiao Yan really didn't know that his family was tied to this nascent group, and he had to take the risk in front of him. It's not that I'm concerned about the Hedong war situation, I'm concerned about this life-and-death battle that is related to the fate of the Great Song Dynasty!

The rain had been going on for more than two days, and Yue Fei's ominous premonition was getting heavier and heavier. Now I heard that Xiao Yan was tired and fell asleep, and he hesitated slightly, not knowing whether it was better to see him or stop and come again.

Xiao Yan's voice suddenly sounded in the tent: "But Pengju is here?" ”

Guo Rong was stunned, glanced at Yue Fei with a little disgust, turned her head and went back to the tent. After pausing for a moment, I saw Xiao Yan open the tent and strode out.

Xiao Yan still looks slightly emaciated, but his eyes are very dark, and he obviously hasn't rested well in the past few days. In the former enemy army, you can't wear a light robe, and you are also wearing armor. Even if you take a nap, you still lie down in armor.

Guo Rong also followed, and was about to call the guards on duty outside to find some clean water to wash Xiao Yan, and then go to bring a bowl of hot drinks from under the tent next to the fence. Xiao Yan waved his hand to signal that Guo Rong didn't have to deal with these things, and beckoned Yue Fei: "Pengju, come in!" ”

Ignoring Guo Rong's slightly resentful gaze, Yue Fei walked into the tent with steady steps, and Xiao Yan was already standing beside Mu Tu, pointing in the direction of the Lan army.

"Pengju, in front of Zong Han's main force nailed to Yifang and did not move, although the troops are very thick, it is not so easy to shake the Yan Yan army. I'm only worried about the Wanyan Lou room here! Taking advantage of the heavy rain, the Shenwu Changsheng Army could not move, and Lou Room could completely withdraw troops and quickly join the offensive against the Yan Yan Army! ”

This is also what Yue Fei has been worried about in the past two days, Wanyan Lou's department is stationed in the Lan army, and it is a strange soldier. However, there was the offensive of the Shenwu Changsheng Army before, and the Hewai Zhejia Army was not a decoration, and it also paid attention to the movements of Lou Chamber's department. However, after a rainstorm, these constraints are all gone. As long as the Lou Office is strong, it can take advantage of this heavy rain to complete the transfer.

And Lou Room is known as a famous Jurchen general, and his department is also the elite of the Jurchen army. No one dared to think that the safety of the battle situation was pinned on the judgment that Wanyan Lou's office was also stationed and trapped in this heavy rain!

But after Yan Lou's office joined the battle against the Yan Yan army, where would the first blow be directed?

Join Yifang Positive?

Neither will this be done.

Flanking the snake formation of the Yanyan army along the mountain road?

Relying on the governance of Hehe County, the Yan army can still hold its ground.

Xiao Yan and Yue Fei's eyes both fell on Hehe Jindu.

If it is its own army, the first blow will inevitably fall here, completely cutting off the rear road of the Yan army and shaking the morale of the army. Then the 40,000 Yan army between the mountains can be cleaned up by the Jurchen Tartars!

Xiao Yan and Yue Fei glanced at each other, and suddenly Xiao Yan became anxious: "This Po Han Wu, what are you doing to eat!" Let him keep an eye on the movements of Lou Room, there is no news to report back at this moment! When the official is big, will he be lazy? ”

Yue Fei was silent, Han Shizhong's military situation was reported every day. But the torrential rain fell suddenly, and the military intelligence transmission has been cut off for three days! Although there are factors that block the road and make it difficult to travel, but in such a situation, there is no reason not to be impatient!

Suddenly, there was a low commotion outside the tent. Guo Rong's tense little face opened the tent and entered.

"Han Shizhong's ride is here! The Lou Room Department took advantage of the rain to move westward three days ago! ”

The ominous premonition finally became a reality, but Xiao Yan's previous anxious and tired color completely disappeared, and he just waved his hand with a cold face: "Pass him in!" ”

Guo Rong left, Xiao Yan looked at Yue Fei, who also had a frosty face: "Pengju, immediately double the dispatch of the Chuanqi, no matter whether Liu Guangshi waits to see me, the King of Yan, tell him, go west quickly and retreat to the Yellow River!" ”

Xiao Yan paused for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "If it's too late, no matter what generals you find in the Yan Yan Army, tell them and rush out to the northwest, the Jurchen Tartars over there are still a little empty, and there are three states outside the Zhejia River to rely on." Sue them and I'll save them! ”

Yue Fei nodded heavily, said no more, and strode out.

Xiao Yan was the only one left in the tent for a while, and he closed his eyes suddenly.

Lou Room had already moved three days ago, and Han Shizhong and his family were powerless for the time being. I hope that Hehe Jindu can be saved, and I hope that the Zhejia army can make every effort to contain Lou Mur's sudden interception offensive. I hope Liu Guangshi can stabilize the morale of the army. I hope that even if the Yan Yan army is defeated, it will be able to surrender the Yellow River, and it will still be able to confine the Jurchen Tartars to the east of the river!

But what if the worst happens?

Xiao Yan opened his eyes again.

There is always Lao Tzu to clean up this qiē! (To be continued......)
