The muddy cavalry of the brigade hurriedly relaxed into the gate of the village, and rode first, with a stout body and simple clothes and armor, which was exactly the contemporary head of the Zhe family who was worshiped as a god by the children of the Zhe family.

Although the situation was extremely critical, he still rode steadily on the horse, half-squinting his eyes, and there was no panic to describe it. The sergeant who stayed behind in the village saw the head of the family like this, even if he was a little flustered and frightened, he calmed down.

The folded family started in the border wilderness, and since the fifth generation, it has been in the cracks of various forces. and the Khitan and the party have experienced a battle of life and death to survive so far. No matter how difficult the situation is, it has also been experienced, and at the moment it is just that the back road has been intercepted by the Jurchen Tartars, but the tens of thousands of troops are still intact, so what is there to fear?

In addition to always following his personal guards with hundreds of horses, the follow-up people and horses are still in an endless stream, and the horses are mixed, and it is along the way that the children of the Zhejia army who are left behind to cover the road can bring all the things they can bring. At this moment, there are more than 2,000 people who have returned to help, and there will inevitably be a steady stream of children from the Fold family coming behind. If the Yan Yan army reacts in time and the army returns to the division, no matter whether it can defeat the Jurchen Tartars who intercepted the back road, the main force of the whole army should be very sure that it will be able to break out of this dead land!

The name of the commander who stayed in the military village here was Zhi Yansi, and his bloodline was not far from the main branch of the Zhi family. Being able to lead troops, being able to endure hardships, and being able to fight has always been highly valued.

He was waiting at the gate of the village early, and when he saw that he could ask for the first time in the village, he saluted: "God is fortunate to have the Lord coming!" There are generals in charge, and the last general will lead a group of men and horses to the west outpost to patrol, and try to intercept the Jurchen Tartars on our back road. Give the general the main arrangement here to arrange the defense line up and fight for some time! ”

Originally, the military village here was just a garrison of a commanding infantry army, and some military resources were hoarded. Accommodating a little bit of the size of the transporter. Now the army must return to the division here to block the back of the Jurchen Tartars. Maybe there will be tens of thousands of people fighting here. It is necessary to rush to build a new military fortress. It takes time to choose the key points to arrange the military horses.

Zhe Yanji asked himself to lead a cavalry army to the west, open the cordon, and fight with the Jurchen Tartars who came with great momentum, even if he risked his life, he had to win enough time for the army led by the general!

This loyal and brave said, but he was unmoved, jumped off the horse and moved his muscles. wiped a handful of rain on his face: "What's the panic!" If you want to test the Jurchen Tartars, naturally you will go to a certain parent, you have always led the infantry army, can you hold down the position? It's not light, it's not heavy! ”

This sentence blocked Zhi Yansi's loyal and courageous request to fight, and Zhi Yansi bowed his head and only accepted the order. But the admiration for the general in my heart is getting deeper and deeper. is worthy of being the head of the family who led our family to nearly 10,000 langs, but when the war was over, he just went forward in person. The general Liu of the Yan Yan Army, who has seen his extravagant pomp in Hehe Jindu, compared with our family masters, it is simply the mud on the soles of his feet!

There is no intention to continue to walk towards the village. Get out of the way a little and sit down on a deer fence used to divide the road inside the gate.

(In the military village.) It's not a flat river, especially for the military village where the infantry army is stationed, there are also deer barricades in it, one is used to divide the road, and the other is that after the fence is broken, it can continue to rely on the deer to fight - Oscar press)

"A certain team of people and horses will not enter, and immediately arrange to feed the horses and drink water, and bring some hot drinks to so-and-so. Then he personally led the men and horses to the west sentinel! You are here to meet the follow-ups, but whenever the children of the folded family come, one of them is not allowed to eat hot, and one of them falls ill in your place, so you are the only one who asks! ”

What is there to say about the Lord thus acting under his command? The only thing left in the chest is the heart of death. Not to mention that their own surname is folded!

Zhe Yansi shouted the order: "Although the general is relieved, but I am here, Zhe Jialang is cold and hungry, and I cut off my head without waiting for the lord to ask for the guilt!" ”

Zhe Keqiu nodded with satisfaction, and his face showed an extremely rare mild color: "............ I know that you juniors, you haven't experienced any major battles in these years, it's nothing more than fighting with some miscellaneous hus near the Turbidity River. The Jurchen Tartars braved the rain to attack Baili and broke through the Hehe Jindu in one fell swoop, which is not surprising to scare you............ These veterans of the folded family have not died yet, as long as they are here, they can always take you juniors out safely! ”

I don't know why, this rare gentleness of the general, but only made Orihiko's eyes hot, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say. After saluting, he turned around and strode away, beckoning his subordinates to immediately bring hot food and clean water, so that the cavalry brothers who dismounted one after another near the left side of the gate could eat hot and take a breath.

The cavalry of the Zhejia family consciously did not enter the village to rest, but only took a little breath and had to go west again with the folding, to buy some time for the brothers who had forcibly arrived in the mud one after another to contain and rectify them. The brigade was covered in mud, and the exhausted foot soldiers of the Fold family rushed into the military village as a whole, and the brothers guarding the village had already vacated their own camps, so that they could quickly rest and recover. On the stoves in the camp, white gas rose, and all the delicious food came out, driving out a large pot and a large pot of hot food.

There was a rush in the military village, but there was no panic scene when he heard the defeat report on the back road, even if the Jurchen Tartars rushed to kill at this moment, these Fold Sons and Sons would not flinch to meet them, and under the leadership of such a general, they would fight with the Tartars to the end!

When the infantry army entered the camp, and the cavalry army seized the time to rest, they only sat on the damp deer wood, and did not remove their armor.

These defeated armies include the children of the Broken Family, the Yan Army, and even the Minfu. They were all suddenly attacked, and they collapsed suddenly. From the sporadic news they received, they could tell that the situation was not good.

After the Jurchen outstanding soldiers attacked and broke through the Hehe Jindu, they did not rush to the east to encircle the Yan army. Instead, they deployed their troops, one of which went down the river, sweeping all the strongholds and scattered ferries east of the river, and the other along the Lan River to the west, blocking the Lan Shui. There was only one part of the troops left, and they slowly advanced with weight, pulling out the strongholds left by the Yan Yan Army and the Zhejia Army on the back road.

It is precisely because the Jurchen army is so powerful that these defeated soldiers can be allowed to flee all the way here!

The Jurchen people took advantage of the heavy rain to attack Hehe Jindu like thunder and lightning. All of a sudden. After taking the key point of Hehe Jindu, he advanced with a heavy weight. Open the net. The rhythm of this use of soldiers is simply amazing.

If you take Hehejindu, you will turn around and go southeast. Directly attack the main force of the Yan army and the Zhejia army. This Jurchen cavalry braved the rain to attack, and they were already extremely tired, and the Tartars could not hold on to their livestock. If you fight back to the death for the main forces of the Yan Yan Army and the Zhejia Army, and want to take a way out, maybe you will have to suffer a loss, and you will no longer be able to block this army.

And now the pace is slowing down, completely cutting off the back road, and opening the net on all sides. There is no hurry to seek a decisive battle with the Yan Yan army. It's a smart move. Anyway, the back road is cut off, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the Yan Yan army and the Zhejia army, and the more the army's morale will be shaken. And this strange army that is just intercepting the back road, slowing down the pace, is waiting for the female Allah force stationed in front of Yifang to oppress west!

And they were not afraid of the main forces of the Yan Yan Army and the Zhejia Army returning to the division to open up a way of retreat. Forty or fifty thousand horses are pulled into a long snake in the road of the Weishui River Valley, and it is raining and muddy, how can it be so easy to mobilize? Not to mention that Allah in front of her will also rise up to counterattack!

The back road is cut off, and Allah fights back in front of you. The 40,000 or 50,000 horses of the Yan army and the Zhejia army were weakened more and more in this net. More and more faltering, when the army finally collapsed. This wonder army can kill the collapsed army without bloodshed, just after intercepting and killing!

The more he listened to these military information, the more depressed his face became, and he twisted his eyebrows and just didn't speak.

After learning of the sudden attack on the back road, he had never rushed to the camp of Liu Guangshi's Chinese army in Hehe, and immediately led his men and horses back, gathering the children of the Zhe family along the way. I am not prepared to fight a hard battle to break the Jurchen military horses on the back road and regain the idea of mastering the back road. Although the Zhejia Army and the Yan Army were a little incompatible in this battle, they are now also in this net!

But now, if you fight with the Jurchen Tartars here, maybe the Zhejia army will have to bury the Yan army!

In the rain, the figure of the folded family was like a mountain, and the eyes of the children of the folded family around him couldn't help but cast over, as if as long as they saw the figure of the head of the family, the military heart could be as stable as Mount Tai.

This sitting is most of the hour, and some people offer hot food and drink, and they all give a smile and wave back. When the cavalry of the brigade were almost breathing, they recovered some energy. Zhi Keqiu, who had been silent, suddenly got up and shouted orders.

"Sons, go west with so-and-so to explore! Try Jurchen Tartar Color! Let the sons and daughters who rushed back rest with peace of mind! ”

The cavalry of the Chinese army, who could be directly led by hundreds of folds, were all veterans who had followed him for more than ten years, and they all shouted orders and turned over on their horses. Tired of returning from dozens of miles of illness, facing the sinister of the Jurchen military horses and unprecedented strong enemies, everyone looked as usual, as if they were just going to play on a horse in spring.

Zhe Keqiu also turned over and got on the horse, and saw Zhe Yanji rushing over, straight to the front of the Zhe Keqiu horse: "General, return early, you are the mainstay of our family!" ”

Zhe Keqiu smiled faintly, raised his hand and drew a circle: "Take care of the children of the Zhe family!" Try your best to take them in, or the same sentence, there is hot food, there is hot drink! Fall down, a certain only you ask! ”

Zhi Yanji received the order again, and immediately said in embarrassment: "There is all food in the camp, but the place is limited. The sons and daughters came one after another, but they were afraid that they would not be able to accommodate it. Not to mention that there are also Yan Yanjun and Minfu who also followed............ General, is it to pass an order to me, so that I can order so many sons to do it together, and immediately build a few military villages, so that it can not only accommodate soldiers, but also for the momentum of the horns, and the defense is more stable! ”

Zhe Keqiu glanced at him coldly: "The sons and daughters came in the rain, how can they have such strength now?" You don't have to rush to build a military village first! It's just that we will be sheltered first, and no matter whether the Yan Yanjun or the people's husbands are concerned, they don't have to worry about them first! Those who are now in the camp will drive them out, and only let us rest well! ”

Zhe Ke asked for reinforcements in a hurry, and gathered all the departments of the Zhe family along the way, and there were naturally garrisons of the Yan Yan Army on this back road, as well as a large number of Kansai people who were blocked by heavy rain on the road. Driven by the return of the Broken Army, many panicked people and horses also followed. Being mixed with the Zhe family army and taking care of them made it a lot of effort for Zhi Yanhei.

Hearing the order of Zhe Keqiu, although he felt slightly cruel, but now of course, it is important to maintain the combat strength of the Zhejia army, even if it is a little excessive. And in Zhi Yansi's opinion, the combat power of the Yan Yan army is really a little unsightly, and he wants to recapture the back road. Bloody battles. Isn't it up to us to break the army?

Since the fight depends on our children. Then you Yanjun Han people have suffered a little harder, but it is worth saying.

Zhi Yansi nodded heavily and took the order: "The general can rest assured!" I'm here waiting for the Lord to return, and I'm sure we'll rest our children! ”

Zheke smiled at him with consolation, whipped the horse heavily, and the good horse of the river meandered neighed, raised his hooves and galloped away. Dozens of guards guarded him tightly, and more of the Iron Cavalry of the Zhijia Army followed behind. Heading west, there is a majestic atmosphere!

And in the camp, the soldiers and men of the Yan Army who originally entered the camp were all driven out by Zhi Yansi himself, although these Yan Yan soldiers and men were not angry, but they also knew that they had to borrow the combat power of the Zhen Army. Haven't you seen the head of the folded family come to the enemy in person when he is in battle? Such a general is really much stronger than Liu Yanei, who is still in Hehe County!

Hundreds of sergeants and civilians who had already entered the camp silently walked out of the camp and just sat down in the mud. I can't help but look at the back of the hundreds of folded family elites who can go away, and their eyes are full of trust and sustenance. And the Erlang of the folded family looked at the back of the general. In his face, he was full of pride!

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

Night slowly fell. On the top of the military fortress fence where Zhe Yansi was sitting, a butter torch was lit, swaying in the bitter wind and rain, exuding a faint yellow light.

Inside and outside the camp, it was full of men and horses. Inside the village are the military horses of the Zhejia family who have come one after another, and outside the village are the sergeants and men of the Yanyan Army who are sitting in the rain and cement in the dark.

These sergeants and men of the Yan Army, who were waiting outside the village, had already done their own thing, digging trenches, rushing to build military villages, and building sheds. In addition to begging for a little military food and a drink to ward off the cold, he did not disturb the family army.

In the camp, there are nearly 3,000 military horses that have arrived in one day.

The Zhejia army sent 6,000 troops, and there were several or 2,000 of the Zhejia army left in the area from the north of the Lanshui to the Hehe Jindu and then here. The rest of the military horses of the Zhejia family were arranged in the various back road military villages from here to the west of the Black Tea Mountain. With the order of the detachment of the Zhe Ke Quest, nearly 3,000 men and horses trekked in the mud in one day, and the command of the Zhejia army was strict, and the ability to endure hard work was really far above the Yan Yan army!

The five or six hundred horsemen who rushed back were already out to the west to strengthen the outposts. The rest of the men, together with the original commander of Orihiko, still filled the small army to the brim, and every camp was stuffed with three or four times as many people, and almost everyone was seizing the time to rest and recuperate.

At this time, even if you are tired from afar, you must do your best to build a new military village. One is to evacuate this large group of people in order to better stabilize the position. The second is that it is not a matter of a day or two to be stationed here, and how many Yan Yanjun troops have to be taken to retreat, even if you are tired today, you will always have a better rest in the coming day, right?

However, since this is the case, the children of the Zhe family have faithfully obeyed the orders of the head of the family.

In the military village, although it was overcrowded, no one walked around. There was no sound except for snoring in the camp.

Zhe Yanji stood on top of the wall, trying his best to look west. Looking west before, it was full of tension. Now they are looking forward to the return of the Lord. The critical situation of the Jurchens cutting off the back road has long been thrown out of the clouds by this young general.

We will be the main town, what are we afraid of the bird girl real Tartar? You must know that we have broken our families, sandwiched between the Khitan and the party, and have survived for more than 100 years under the leadership of successive generations of family heads in a barren land. And with the contribution to the Great Song Dynasty, the Zhejia is still developing and growing!

The commander of Zhi Yanji was all on patrol duty tonight, half of them were far away, and the remaining half were all on the wall, and everyone was like a commander, looking westward, and the cold rain brought cold air to the bones, and almost no one moved.

Suddenly, there was a little fire in the night to the west. Orihiko, who had been standing on the wall for too long, thought that he had seen evil eyes.

But this little firelight turned into a fire dragon in the blink of an eye, but it was a team of people, holding a tallow torch, returning at night!

There was a singing voice in the night sky, it was the accent outside the river, and it was the triumphant singing of the children of the Zhi family that Zhi Yansi had been familiar with since he was a child!

For more than 100 years, generation after generation of the children of the Fold family have embarked on the battlefield of foreign enemies for the Great Song Dynasty, fighting against the Khitan and the party, and against the divination. is singing such a triumphant song and returning to his hometown!

Such a century-long meritorious record is the root of the family, the soul of the family, the blood and bones of the family, and the glory and pride of the family! But all the military horses who fought side by side with the Zhe family, there was never a single one who dared to say that the Zhe family could not fight, and the Zhe family did not dare to fight!

What is the cut off of the back road, what is the Jurchen Tartar? We can fight our way out!

On the wall, there was a cheer: "The head of the family has returned triumphantly!" ”

And the sergeants and men of the Yan Army outside the village were also thunderous.

"Captain Fold has returned triumphantly!"

In the triumphant song that resounded in the night sky, hundreds of iron riders arrived in front of the village covered in mud. There are also more than ten war horses, and there are blood-stained heads in the style of money rat tail hair hanging under the horses.

Zhe Yansi has already opened the gate of the village, and will always be in front of the team, and there is also a head hanging under the horse.

"Lord, it's time to go into the camp and rest! The sons and daughters have all taken care of it, none of them are hungry, none of them are sick! ”

To say that hard work is a certain amount for what can be done. But on the face of this veteran, there is still not much tiredness. Turned over and dismounted and fell into the muddy water, his body still as steady as a mountain.

Zhi Keqiu glanced at Zhi Yansi, and asked in a deep voice, "How many people have you received?" ”

These numbers are all contained in Orihiko's chest, and I don't know how many times I have turned them upside down.

"We folded our families and rode on horseback, and in addition to the Chinese army led by the general, we received more than 2,200. It is estimated that no more people will arrive tonight, and there should be tomorrow. And the sergeant of the Yan Army who came ............"

Fold Keqiu waved his hand fiercely: "Don't worry about the rest!" ”

He drank Zhi Yansi with a word, and then he raised his head to the sky, his lips squirmed, as if he was thinking about how many children of the Zhi family were concentrated. Zhi Yansi just waited respectfully on the sidelines, thinking in his heart how to let the head of the family rest tonight, and tomorrow no matter what, he would rush out a few military villages to run this place as solid as gold!

Zhi Keqiu suddenly looked at Zhi Yansi: "Little twenty-six! ”

This is not a title in the army, but a ranking in the family. In his generation, Zhe Yansi was ranked twenty-sixth in the clan, but he didn't expect Zhi Keqiu to remember it clearly.

Without waiting for Orihiko to react, he hurriedly gave an order. Unconsciously lowered his voice.

"Immediately distribute dry rations, and all men and horses take five days' food, and abandon them except the blades and armor. We left overnight, killed the Lan Shui, and we went home! ”

Orihiko, who has been busy for so long, is actually so tired that his head is a little numb, and he just subconsciously thinks that he still has something to do. He was stunned for a while before he reacted.

At this moment, his eyes widened, and he looked at the head of the family who was regarded by his family as a god.

This is to abandon the army and leave, and throw the 40,000 Yan army to the Jurchen Tartars for slaughter!

How could there be such a command!

I must have misheard.

Definitely! (To be continued......)
