On the third day of the first month of June, Tan Malay reported that the Song army withdrew from Fengzhou to aid Linzhou, the eleventh and twelfth generals of Lanshi Road went to Yincheng, and the eighth and ninth generals of Zelu Road went to Liancheng, and at the same time, the Song army selected and transferred the ten commanders of the Fan Army to Jialu Village, Dahebao, and Quye Village for reinforcements, and the handsome banner of Prince Yan appeared in Mingtang River.

"Do you see the Loyal Warrior Banner?" Chago asked the scout.

"Report to the prince, the subordinates are only one mile away from the Song army, you won't be mistaken, it is indeed the handsome banner of the Hedong Economic Strategy Envoy!" Scouts report back.

"Ha Luha, the prince is clever, he solved the siege of Fengzhou without a single soldier, and the children of the Song Dynasty are the opponents of the prince, at this time, I am afraid that I have been scared to pee my pants!" One of the generals in the big tent said with a smile.

"The situation seems to be a little wrong, the urgent report sent by Fengzhou the day before yesterday, and said that the Song army was besieging the city, and the attack was imminent, please ask us to reinforce quickly, how did it take only two days for the Song army to travel more than 200 miles to Mingtang River, which may be fraudulent!" Brother Cha ignored the sycophants of his subordinates, thought for a while and said.

"Lord Wang, the city of Fengzhou may be the suspicious soldiers of the Song army, they are afraid that the Fengzhou army will pursue and cover up, so they use the suspicious soldiers as a cover, and the team of people and horses secretly evacuated to reinforce Yeli Na, after all, this is the root of Hedong, once he loses, even if he is the prince, I am afraid he will not be able to eat and walk!" Xia Jun Youzhou Soldiers and Horses Commander said.

"What the Moe commander said is also reasonable, it will take three days for the Fengzhou war report to be here at the earliest, but Fengzhou is not something that can be captured in a short time, they are useless and suspicious, in order to avoid fighting on two fronts, they can only play some small tricks, and they can't get to the hall of elegance!" The deputy capital commander Wu Li said.

"But I think it's weird. Since he can deploy suspicious troops under Fengzhou City, and the golden cicada comes out of his shell, why can't he also lay suspicious troops opposite us, and buy time for the capture of Fengzhou! Brother Cha frowned and waved his hand.

"The prince is suspicious that the Song army on the other side is the real suspect. Now the main force of the Song army is still in Fengzhou City! Wu Li said.

"Well, that's exactly what I mean, I order the reconnaissance range of the horses to be extended to the northeast for another fifty miles, and you guys will follow me out of the camp!" Brother Cha said in a deep voice, and immediately ordered three hundred personal soldiers and prepared horses to leave the camp.

Brother Cha and the others climbed a dirt slope 500 steps away from the Song army's camp to look over there, only to see the Song army standing on a wooden camp, more than 300 steps wide. It is square, and there are two small battalions on the left and right, which are outpost warnings and horns for each other. A trench two zhang wide was dug in front of the camp, covered with horns to resist horses, and an arrow tower was erected every thirty paces to keep an eye on the enemy.

The most eye-catching thing in the camp is a flagpole more than six zhang high, and an apricot yellow king flag fluttering in the wind. It is embroidered with the word 'Zhao', which is the handsome flag of Zhao Ta, the Prince of Yan, and the rest of the general flags also have six exhibitions, which coincides with the number of the main force of the Song army on the intelligence.

Chago squinted at the entire camp. But he couldn't see clearly in the sun, "Let's get closer!" "Chagota is going to step forward. But he was stopped by the commander of the Divine Warrior Division.

"The prince must not, the pro-army of King Yan of the Song Army is equipped with a weapon. The sound is like thunder, the fire is like lightning, and the iron pellet with the big mouth of the bowl is fired, and if it is hit within 400 steps, no matter whether the people and horses are broken bones and tendons, there is no corpse to die; There is another kind that is slightly smaller, the sergeant can hold it alone, and he can pierce the heavy armor within 200 steps, which is impossible to prevent, and the prince is not reliable! Ling Jieji hurriedly explained.

"I have also heard that it is equipped with this kind of artifact, which is extremely sharp, so that it can defeat our army repeatedly, but I have never seen its power, and I don't know who can help him to have such a sharp weapon!" Chago reined in his horse and said with a sigh.

"Lord, I heard the legend of the Song people, this Song Dynasty Yan King once had the guidance of the gods, the immortal law in the Great Song Dynasty no one can win, it has the ability to move mountains and seas, steal the sky and change the day, his subordinates led the army to pursue next year, and he was about to capture him, but he was invited to the water, and more than 2,000 people from the subordinate forward battalion were washed away, and no one survived!" Thinking about what he experienced last year, Ling Jieji still had palpitations and said in a trembling voice. …,

"Nonsense, if he has that kind of ability, will he still be chased by you?" The Xia people are also very superstitious and afraid of ghosts and gods, and Brother Cha saw that the generals around him were afraid, for fear of disturbing the morale of the army, and scolded sharply.

"Yes, yes, what the prince said is very true!" Ling Jieji hurriedly admitted his mistake, but he didn't think so, those things were his own personal experience, how could there be a fake.

"Lord Wang, the Song army found out that we were exploring the camp, hurry up and retreat!" At this time, the pro-soldiers came over and reported.

"Wait and see!" At this time, the alarm bell sounded in the camp of the Song army, and after a period of chaos, the camp gate was opened, and more than a thousand cavalry rushed out and rushed towards them.

"Lord Wang, let's withdraw, look at the costumes, they are all King Yan's personal soldiers, it's too late!" Ling Xuan said in a panic.

"It doesn't seem right, the bows and arrows in their hands are no different from other Song troops!" Brother Cha saw that the cavalry of the Song army, which was getting closer and closer, had already bent their bows and arrows, and shot at them, and asked Ling Xuan in confusion.

"Also, King Yan's own soldiers never use bows and arrows, aren't they, but the armor and banners are theirs!" Ling Xuan looked at it and said suspiciously.

"Withdraw, we've been tricked!" Brother Cha suddenly sighed and said, rushing back to the camp first.

Back at the camp, Brother Cha immediately gathered the generals to discuss matters and assign tasks, "We can't wait any longer, otherwise Fengzhou will be lost, we must send troops tomorrow, and set up the deputy capital to command the army, you lead the Xiangyou Military Division 20,000 horses to stay in Yulin County, dredge the grain road, protect the right flank of the army, and prevent the Song army from attacking the rear road of our army from Jialuchuan; Liang Yi, the commander of the Baotai Army, led 20,000 horses from his headquarters to the north along the Mingtang River and returned to the Tumao River, cutting off the retreat of the Song army and blocking the reinforcements of the Fuzhou army; Jingsai military division military horse for the front army, Jianing military division military horse for the rear army, this king led the Chinese army, the army entered the Jialu River Basin, five days later, the army joined forces to attack the Quye River to open up the post road with the Liao State, and relieve the siege of Fengzhou! "Brother Cha is worthy of being a famous general, he judged from the equipment of the Song army and a few words that there was fraud in it, and decisively took measures to make up for it.

"General, Fengzhou urgent!" Just after the task was arranged, the soldiers came in and said.

"Bring someone to me soon!" Brother Cha pondered for a moment and said.

"Please send troops quickly, the Song army has begun to attack the city, the offensive is fierce, and Fengzhou is in danger!" As soon as the envoy of Fengzhou entered the tent, he knelt down and begged, but when he saw that this person was ragged with bloodstains and dust, he could no longer see his face, but his expression was extremely tired.

"Someone, this person is a spy, pull out the lu and cut it down!" After reading the letter, Brother Cha suddenly pointed at the envoy and shouted.

"Huh?!" Hearing Brother Cha's words, some soldiers had already come up to press down the envoys, but the generals were stunned, "The lower officials are wronged, the lower officials desperately go out of the city to report the news, loyal to the country, how can they be spies, the lower officials are not convinced!" The envoys also cried out for grievances.

"Your letter was written five days ago, so why did it arrive today? According to the law, such an urgent report must be delivered within two days, and it is not unjust to kill you in this way! Brother Cha shouted.

"The prince doesn't know, ten days ago, the Song army has surrounded the city of Fengzhou like an iron bucket, my lord sent people to send letters several times, the envoys were blocked back by the Song army, or were killed, the next official is taking advantage of the night from the east city to the long rope of the city, down to the deep ditch to get out of the city, in the mountains for a full two days around the Song army surrounded, but did not dare to take the road, and then luckily met the past clansmen, mixed in them mixed with the Song army checkpoint, in order to see the prince!" The envoy explained.

"Recently, there have been constant messengers in Toyosu City, where is it said that it is as dangerous as you, you are so quibble, who is instructed by you!" Brother Cha was shocked, but he still didn't want to believe that his judgment was wrong, and asked with mixed feelings.

"The prince must have fallen into the trick of the Song dog, ten days ago, the Song army captured the turbidity wheel and swept all the ethnic groups in the territory, only Fengzhou City was still left, and all the messengers sent were intercepted, how could they come to the prince's camp, it must be pretended by the Song State!" The envoy shouted. …,

"Alas!" Brother Cha sighed, waved his hand to let go of the messenger and sat him down, "You came from Toyosu City, what is the situation there, can you hold the city?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, before the siege of the Song army, the prefect of Qingyang gathered the surrounding tribes into the city, with more than 20,000 young and strong people, nearly 300,000 stones of grain and grass, and countless cattle and sheep, which can be eaten by 100,000 troops for two months. It's just that the Song army relied on sharp firearms, Weng Li's soldiers and horses went out of the city to engage in the battle and could not form an army, and then they stuck to the city, and did not dare to fight, and now the Song army attacked the city day and night, and the losses were also very heavy, but they mobilized 30,000 archers of the nearby clan to reward money and food, and still attacked the city endlessly, and the Qingyang prefect was afraid that it would change over time, so he ordered the officials to risk death to go out of the city and ask the prince to send rescue troops quickly! The messenger replied eagerly with a sip of water.

"Qingyang is a capable minister, but Weng Li, this horseman, has obviously suffered a big loss from the Song army's firearms, and he doesn't know how to be cautious, and he really deserves to lose his soldiers!" Brother Cha heard that the Fengzhou soldiers were well fed, and his heart was a little relieved, but he was still uncomfortable, "The Song army is vicious, if the city is broken, it will slaughter the city, and the people in the city will suffer!" Brother Cha said.

"What the prince said is right, the Song army swept the entire territory of Fengzhou, and all the people who were captured were used as slaves, and those who did not obey and rebelled were all killed. Yeli is brutal and unkind, after the Song Dynasty stole the post of the governor of Hezhou, for the tiger, the tyrannical expropriation, the people live a difficult life, as long as the king arrives, he will definitely rise up as an internal response, and please ask the prince to send troops quickly to save the people from fire and water! The messenger bowed again.

"Since you have traveled all the way, have you ever seen the banner of King Yan of the Song Dynasty, do you know where he is and where is the pro-army?" Brother Cha asked again.

"Song Junshuai Qi has always been in Fengzhou, and his pro-army is stationed in Yong'an and Baoning, and he has been besieging Fengzhou with the Fuzhou army!"

"You can't be mistaken?"

"Of course, in the Song army, only the army of King Yan has firearms, and the military uniforms are very different, it is easy to distinguish!"

"Okay, you go down and rest first!" Brother Cha waved his hand and asked his soldiers to lead the messenger down to rest, and he sat weakly in the big tent. (To be continued......)
