The night wind is like a knife, and the cold rain freezes ice. In the rain, hundreds of soldiers stood in the mud, and the light of the butter torches on the wall of the wall was projected, reflecting everyone's face in light and dark. Outside the wall, the cheers of those Yanyan soldiers and civilians for the captain of the fold can still be heard from afar.

Zhi Yanji looked at Zhen Keqiu fixedly, with a look of disbelief on his face. His lips quirmed, as if he wanted to ask the lord and general, whom he had always admired, to give him another order, but he was afraid of hearing what he did not want to hear, and at last he said nothing but the sound of exhalation.

Zhe Keqiu's guards around him all twisted their faces, and none of them were silent. On the way back to the teacher, they already knew the decision to make a decision. The soldiers will turn to the grass and the wind, and the master will have orders, and obey the orders. What's more, the Zhi family has always been a child soldier, and they are more united than other military horses in the Great Song Dynasty!

In Zhi Keqiu's eyes, there was no trace of shame, but he met Zhi Yanhei's almost pleading gaze with double coldness.

This time he went out to patrol the hard outpost, and he led the team around a circle of dozens of miles. Whether it was straight to the west, or to the south or to the east, above the vast front, they all bumped into the Jurchen rangers.

These Jurchen patrol horses cast a huge net, but they were not in a hurry to advance towards the Yan Yan army. It is to trap the Yan army and the Zhejia army in the net, cut off their help, and then slowly advance the oppression with the power of Yifang female Allah, waiting for tens of thousands of troops to collapse on their own in the midst of hunger and cold!

Zhe Keqiu also led the team to take the initiative to fight against these patrol cavalry teams, and most of these Jurchen patrol cavalry teams cautiously retreated to avoid. There are also a small number of people who believe in their strength and accept the challenge.

This is the first time that the Zhejia army and the Jurchens have fought with their real faces. In the midst of a muddy drizzle. The two tired horses were sparkling. And the Zhejia army also really saw the combat effectiveness of the Jurchen Tartars!

Fight with the Khitan. It's a memory of decades ago. And the combat effectiveness of the Western Thief Party has been much better than the Folded Army. Although the Zhejia army has few people, but in the battle with the Western Xia military horses on the same scale, the Zhejia has always had the upper hand!

But as soon as he fought with the Jurchen Tartar squad patrol, the Jurchen Tartar combat power was so strong that the Zhejia army finally understood it. If it weren't for the fact that the Zhe family had taken advantage of the men and horses this time, and Zhi Keqiu had always insisted on boosting morale when he came to the battle, and personally overthrew a Jurchen general. I can't say what it is difficult to take advantage of this folding!

A skirmish, beheading the Jurchen Tartars seventeen. And the folded family folded eleven horses, injured eight packs and brought them back on horseback, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to struggle for a life.

Although he has always been tighter than the Western Army in the training of his own horses, as the Western Xia weakened, the Zhi family also enjoyed a peaceful life for nearly ten years. The Western Army also went on an expedition and fought a bitter battle in Yandi. Although the losses were heavy, a group of elites were also sharpened - but most of the elites sharpened were under the command of Xiao Yan, the king of Yan.

In the past ten years, with the large-scale contraction of the Left Wing Divine Warrior Division of the Western Xia, the Zhejia family has occasionally played miscellaneous battles. After patrolling the Turbidity River, I focused more on selling salt, horses, and furs. There are more caravans than patrols. The only strength is that the family is closely united, and there is no intrigue between the Western Army and Tong Guan, or even the struggle for power and profit between his own generals. It also maintains a whole. Compared with the chaos of the Western Army, the Zhejia family prides itself on being an elite border army that has lasted for a hundred years.

But as soon as the fight started, I found that the combat power of the Zhejia army was actually falling!

If you stay here, fight for the Yan Yan army, and open a way for the army to retreat. The family went out to fight for the children, and I don't know how much I have to lose!

There are people in the six roads of Guanxi who are straight thieves, and they can make up as many soldiers as they fold, and now the imperial court and Xiao Yan are also currying favor with the small species, and the military equipment will also be replenished endlessly. We broke our families in the barren land of Sanzhou, and did our best, and we raised this military horse of less than 10,000 people. With these 10,000 military horses, there is a status that has not fallen for a hundred years!

Now that the situation is changing, Xiao Yan's strong army has its current status. If the Zhe family has no military horses, no matter who it is, they will swallow it in one gulp, and they will not even spit out the bone slag! With military horses in hand, even if it is a change of dynasty, the folding family will not lose the status of a feudal town! Maybe we can go one step further!

This is still the result of considering that the Western Army will immediately cross the river to help, and Liu Guangshi will command Ruoding, and finally bring the army out of the place of death. And the real situation is only afraid of worse, the control of the small species over the Western Army has greatly decreased, and the generals of the Western Army have their own minds, and Liu Guangshi is nothing more than a strong support for the façade of the children of the Jiangmen family, and he has never felt that he can count on it when he encounters a crisis.

One is not good, the children of the Zhe family have no choice but to be buried here for Yan Yanjun!

After inspecting the strong outposts, he had already figured out the layout and intentions of the Jurchen army that intercepted the back road, and guessed the movements of the entire Jurchen army.

He quickly made a decision that he must not delay long in this place of death. The Zhejia army was almost retracted, and immediately abandoned the camp and went north, and the Jurchen army horses still maintained a cavalry guard in most places on the back road. If you hurry up and rush hard, you can still rush through, as long as you cross the Lan River to the north, you can bring the children of the Zhe family out of the place of death!

If there is a slight delay, when the Jurchen army from Yifang East seals the first line of Lanshui, and then wants to go home, I don't know how much price I will have to pay!

Once you have made a decision, you will never waver. This order has already been passed on to the guards around him, and the expressions of these guards when they first hear it are not much different from those of Zhe Yanji at this moment. But after all, they are all the personal guards picked out by Zhe Keqiu, and they have followed him for at least seven or eight years. In the end, it is silently commanded.

And this little twenty-six, after all, has to listen to the orders of a certain family master. You must know that so-and-so will bring you a way to live! If you are not a child of the broken family, how can you let someone work so hard for you?

Orihiko's lips trembled for a long time, and he didn't say a word. Zhe Keqiu finally frowned impatiently: "Twenty-six, didn't you hear the order of so-and-so?" ”

Zhi Yanji looked at Zhi Keqiu fixedly, and squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "General, are you going to abandon the army and leave?" ”

Zhe Keqiu snorted coldly: "A certain is not Liu Guangshi's command." What to talk about abandoning the army and leaving? The two armies fought side by side. Each has its own responsibility. When you fight, you fight, when you go, you go! Yan Yanjun arranged for us to guard the back road all the way, for fear that we would steal the merits, and at that time, did we think that we had broken down? And Yan Yan has an army of 40,000, and the soldiers are full of food, so there are only 6,000 children! Is it necessary to protect those with few soldiers? ”

Suddenly, he raised his voice, almost roaring.

"Distribute dry food quickly. Gather the people and go with the other! If not, can't you be court-martialed? The straight lady thief has always been optimistic about you, but he is a confused bird! ”

Zhi Yansi still stood there in a daze, and Zhi Keqiu finally lost interest in continuing to talk to this junior, and waved his hand contemptuously, and the guards under his command immediately dispersed, and went to give an order to arrange a qiē.

Zhi Yanji suddenly knelt down in the mud, took a few steps on his knees, and snatched it to protect his thighs.

"General! Will the Lord! Let's go. The morale of the Yan army has collapsed! We can't just leave! ”

Zhe Keqiu kicked Orihiko away and walked away a few steps. Roared loudly: "The military order is sent to the commanders, let them bring their soldiers and horses!" Which commander has the slightest noise and commotion, only the commander asks! ”

Zhe Yansi crawled over in the muddy water with his hands and feet, and pleaded with his hands on the ground again: "General, this is the life of 40,000 Yan Yanjun!" As soon as we leave, the back road will be completely cut off, and the Jurchen Tartars will block the exit of the river valley, and the Yan army will be finished! We have been fighting side by side with the Western Army for a hundred years, and we can't watch these 40,000 lives lost in vain! ”

In the barracks, there was also a slight commotion as Zhe Ke begged the guards to give orders. In this situation, which general with troops can still sleep soundly, they are all waiting in the dark to return, and make arrangements for the men and horses to deal with the crisis at this moment. The camp was not big, and every commander was actually guarding the door of the tent at night, watching the return of the begging man, but he didn't dare to go out indiscriminately, messing up the order of the barracks at night.

They could hear the shouts of Zhe Yanji and the sound of the orders that he could ask for. In the darkness, the sergeants also poured to the tent door, looking at each other.

Although the Zhejia army was born in a different race, it is a noble person of the Zhe family, and under the intermarriage of the past dynasties, it has long been integrated with the Han family. Not to mention the sergeants in the Zhejia army, the vast majority of them are the sons of the Han family.

Over the past hundred years, although the Zhe family has maintained a certain degree of independence, it has always fought for the Great Song Dynasty, and countless children and sons have been killed in the war. This also makes the children of the Zhe family proud of themselves for a hundred years, their current status, every grain they eat, every salary they receive, is upright and upright.

But now, they have to abandon the army and leave!

Not to mention that the Zhejia fought side by side with the Western Army for almost a hundred years. Living and dying together is also a hundred years. intermarried with each other and lived in peace, fought with the Khitan, fought with the Western Xia, and fought with the Zahu. The blood of generations of warriors was spilled in one place. But now, this walk is to bury the entire Yan Yan army!

But the command of the Lord is like this, so how can everyone live?

The figures of the guards shuttled through the darkness, looking for the commanders to give low orders. And the commanders of the Zhejia army also silently received the order, led the ten generals of the head team of the Yuhou of each department, led their respective men and horses, silently checked the blades and armor, waited to receive dry food, and then went out of the account one after another, lined up in a queue, and prepared to come out at night.

Everyone was busy, and they couldn't wait to cover their ears and not listen to the pleading voice of Orihikoji. The sound only penetrated into the bottom of my heart, making people only feel that the head of the six yangs on the neck was extremely heavy, and they could no longer lift it!

Over there, Zhe Yanji always chased after Zhe Keqiu, pulling his legs again and again, and kept kowtowing in the muddy water, but he was kicked away by Zhe Keqiu again and again.

For this junior, he is also a little helpless. On weekdays, such a person who disobeys military orders, no matter how close the blood relationship is, he cuts off his head without blinking half of his eyelids. But now, the long knife in this sheath somehow can't be pulled out, so it can only be kicked over again and again, getting rid of the crazy entanglement of Orihiko, hoping that this fight is enough.

Although this bastard boy is not sensible, he is quite upright. Even if you don't want to go, you have to tie him up and take him with you, and you will still be entrusted with a heavy responsibility in the future............

For a while, although he tossed his head for Zhe Yanhei, he still thought so in his heart.

Groups of men and horses were brought out of the camp and lined up silently. It seems that they are deliberately avoiding the shining place of the butter torch, just hiding in the dark, and countless people are just hanging their heads in the queue. I didn't dare to look at the Orihiko who was rolling in the muddy water.

And here, Zhi Yanji was kicked away by Zhen Keqiu again. Collapsed in muddy water. Panting loudly, it seemed that he had lost the strength to struggle anymore for a while.

He didn't look at him, but when the team was assembled, he ordered the guards to tie up and take him away.

Orihiko gasped for a while, and suddenly laughed bitterly, struggling to get up from the muddy water, but this time he didn't move forward, just staggered in the muddy water, staggering and squinting into the mountain.

“………… I know what the Lord is thinking. It is nothing more than that the overall situation of the world will change! At this time, there are soldiers and generals, which means that they will be rich and prosperous in the future............ If you fight for the world and wealth, you will fight the Lord and leave. I'm just listening to you! But now it's a battle with the Tartars! The Tartars killed the people of Hedong so badly! ”

He coughed and continued, "............ In front of the Tartars, it is common to be defeated without being able to beat. When the time comes, I will risk my life and protect the Lord and kill him! But what is the reason for turning around and fleeing, burying 40,000 Yan troops to the Tartars? General, you don't look down on the Western Army, but Sanchuankou, good Shuichuan. Dingchuan Village. The Western Army was defeated against the Tartars, but who abandoned the army and absconded in front of the Tartars? There will be history books when the time comes. How to write it will Lord you! ”

In the military village, there was silence, and only the deep tone of Zhi Yanji was heard. Zhen Keqiu didn't have the annoyance just now, but he just stood there, listening to Zhi Yansi's words, looking thoughtful.

Zhi Yanji smiled bitterly twice, and turned to those silent Zhi family children.

"We are the foundation of our families, not relying on this military horse! But relying on these children of the broken family to fight against the Tartars, they have always sacrificed their lives to fight! It is precisely because the roots of our family are like this, so although the land is barren and the people are poor, the soldiers are few and the generals are outnumbered, and hundreds of thousands of troops in the west have never come to annex us, the Great Song Dynasty has never seized the status of our family and town, and the whole world thinks that it is a matter of course to hand over the three states to us to fold our families and raise soldiers! Once we abandon the army in front of the Tartars and bury 40,000 robes, even if the whole army gets rid of it, this root is gone! Who in the whole world dares to trust us? The people of these three states, who is not afraid that we will give them to the Tartars when the time comes? Our hundred years of bloody war have become an empty one! Are we going to go back from the Han family and go back to be Tartars? ”

Zhi Yansi suddenly opened his hands and shouted: "If you don't want to be a Tartar Hu from now on, just stay with me!" Let this break the family at all, don't cut it off! We ............"

In the next few words, Zhi Yanji couldn't say it anymore. Because a long knife swept by, and his head was cut off in one fell swoop!

Orihiko's head flew high and fell heavily, his eyes still wide open. And the headless corpse, in the rain of blood, slowly fell.

The person who wields the knife is exactly what he can ask for.

He stood straight like a mountain, his eyes were red, he glanced at the countless stunned children of the Zhe family under his command, gritted his teeth and roared: "Whoever messes with the heart of a certain army will be killed!" Who would dare not obey military orders, even if they came to try a certain military law! ”

In the camp, the crows are silent, only the cold rain is still falling, and everyone is cold!

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

In the cold rain, hundreds of soldiers and civilians were gathered in a rudimentary camp, with no cover on the top and muddy water below. Shivering and waiting for the dawn.

The vast majority of these sergeants and civilians retreated westward because of the sudden movement of the Zhejia army and a moment of panic.

And in the meantime, seeing that the Zhejia army was still firmly entrenched, and Zhe Keqiu personally led the army out of the hard whistle, and finally returned triumphantly in the night. This panicked heart finally calmed down.

In the camp, the generals were still running, hurriedly resuming the organization and organizing the defeated army and civilians. and they came together to discuss what to do in the future.

The people stayed here and cooperated with the Zhejia army to build more military villages, and they could also be auxiliary troops in battle. And the sergeants of the Yan Yan Army still have to be brought back to the east, return to their respective formations, and listen to the orders of the generals at all levels.

Running in the cold rain for a long time, his stomach is half empty, and he has been talking about it for so long. Everyone is drowsy and tired, and they are so cold that they can't sleep. Everyone sat there just shaky, sober and confused.

Suddenly, I heard a voice calling out: "Why did the Zhejia army come out of the camp again?" ”

All the people were alarmed and stood up and looked at each other, and the soldiers and civilians in the camp also made a commotion.

I saw that in the night, the door of the Zhejia military camp was wide open, and the cavalry came out first, and after hundreds of horses, the brigade of infantry came out!

These horses did not carry any baggage, but only armor and blades. There was no longer the high-spirited attitude of the previous triumphant return, and there was no sound in the queue, just holding the torch and bowing his head.

There were thousands of men and horses in the camp. There are generals in the camp here, and the strength of the Fold Army is also very clear here, this is an empty camp!

And the direction of these horses is to the north, not to the west to open up the back road of the Yellow River!

Everyone was stunned, and after a while, one of them roared loudly.

"The straight thief's family army has fled!"

This sound immediately alarmed everyone. The Folded Army fled, the Folded Army fled! The back road of the Yan Yan army, no longer obstructed, the Jurchen Tartars advanced from the west, and they could block the 40,000 Yan army and the soldiers and civilians in the Weishui River valley at once. These more than 40,000 people are trapped in the Jedi!

In this wild camp, all of a sudden, the sound of crying shook the sky, and the order had been restored, but suddenly it had collapsed, and how many people had crossed the hastily erected, uncovered fence, not knowing the direction, just running blindly in this rainy night!

In the midst of the crying, the troops of the Zhejia Army went farther and farther north. From time to time, some people looked back, only to feel that in this cry, the hundred-year exploits and pride of the Folded Family Army collapsed at this moment! (To be continued......)
