The sound of the horn sounded and echoed in the city of Danzhou. This horn was captured in the battle of Gubeikou and the earth-shattering battle against the Jurchen soldiers and horses.

A tall Song sergeant was blowing slowly with all his might. The low whimpering sound seemed to have shaken the entire Danzhou.

Near the Danzhou Governance Office, the people who are still busy. They all looked up and looked at the scene in front of them in awe. Since Xiao Xuanzan, who has been rumored to be like a god, returned to Danzhou, in just two days, their already tense life under Fang Teng's dispatch has doubled, and a large number of young and strong people have been transferred from various construction sites with people, with the local heroic and powerful military horses as the backbone, and the army has become a team of people, and at the same time, in addition to pack horses, horse-drawn carts, ox-carts, mule carts, and carts in the city. Hundreds of carts pushed by people were also produced. The number of the people's team, from Jiayi to Wujiu, Fang Teng organized thousands of people to come out between tossing and turning, plus there are local heroes who are familiar with the topography of the mountains and rivers in the border area of Youyan as a guide, which is enough to rely on Danzhou to supply thousands of troops to the north.

Those who remain have also increased their tasks, and must repair the city and the defenses attached to the city within a few days, and the city guards must be fully replenished. Everyone has a lot of work to do, but Fang Teng doesn't feel sorry for these things that fall in his hands, whether it is food or utensils, they are doubly distributed to these people. In the troubled times, especially after several military robberies, there was a place to settle down, and there were local officials to govern. In addition, the old and weak in the family can drink a mouthful of hot soup because of their own labor, and these people are also at ease.

Fang Teng also insisted on sending people to repair the water conservancy near the left of Danzhou, looking like he was preparing for spring plowing in the future. The Ximen test plane was also maintained, and these seemingly unrelated actions had nothing to do with the military, but they greatly calmed the hearts of the people in Danzhou. This Xiao Xuanzan and Fang Junshou and the Great Song behind them seem to have firmly held Danzhou in their hands and will never leave. With such a mood, these young people and local heroes are strong and strong, and they are doubly relieved to do their work.

In Danzhou City, there was a lot of accumulation under the management of Wang Yasha, although it was cocooned, but thousands of stones, all kinds of grain, arrows and weapons, are located, and there are even more than 100 pairs of iron armor in the armor warehouse. Although it is not up to the standard of the most elite Bai Qi soldiers and Shengjie troops in the Great Song Dynasty, it is enough to supplement a short-term war. Not to mention that Danzhou Zuo Jinhe and Tutou Xiaohaoqiang also sent a considerable part of the materials under the temptation of Xiao Yan to the military attache of the Great Song Dynasty Shenwu Changsheng Army. Some have already been stored, and some are still on the way.

The people of Yandi were originally light and aggressive, as long as they were young and strong men, most of them rode inferior horses and drove hard bows. The people are fierce, although they are a little lighter in the general righteousness - for no other reason. It has been separated from the Han family for more than 100 years, and this is naturally much lighter.

But these young and strong, once they are in the army, are all good sergeants. At least compared with the vast majority of soldiers and horses in the Great Song Dynasty, they are three or two points stronger in daring to fight. Most of these young and strong people were brought by the large and small Yandi Haoqiang, except for an extremely elite part, which temporarily belonged to the Shengjie Army. In addition to being used as a distant outpost who is familiar with the terrain, the others still belong to the powerful and powerful belts in various places. At this time, it was not the time to rashly digest them into the Divine Martial Victorious Army.

In the past few days, there have been a lot of heroes from all over the world, and there are still people on the way. In total, there are always two or three thousand foot soldiers, and four or five hundred fine horsemen. These horses, sweeping the number were all taken out of Danzhou by Xiao Yan, and they were almost enough to be auxiliaries. In the city of Danzhou, only a thousand Shenwu Changsheng army remained. Ma Kuo, Yu Jiang, and Fang Teng were guarded. As a response in case of disadvantage.

The other troops included more than 1,400 soldiers from the three battalions of the Baiqi Army. There are four battalions of the Shengjie Army, more than 1,600 soldiers, two battalions of 700 light cavalry of the Shenwu Changsheng Army, and more than 2,000 infantry battalions of the five battalions. In addition, there are two or three thousand strong people in the places where they have been put into service. Xiao Yan set out on this expedition with nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses. Among them, there are four thousand light and heavy cavalry that can be worn with a sharp edge. In the army, there were more than seven thousand war horses. Xiao Yan has traveled so far, and he has repeatedly encountered major battles, and this is the first time that his soldiers and horses have flourished!

In the sound of the horn, first of all, these fierce and light soldiers of the Shengjie Army came out first. The two battalions of men and horses they had experienced in the bloody battle near Gubeikou walked in the front, and these military horses were all wearing mink hats and carrying their own iron helmets behind their backs. Some of these mink hats were captured, and the rest of the soldiers who participated in the war, seeing that their eyes were hot, returned to Danzhou to collect fur and make hats of this Jurchen style.

If there were other battalion leaders who had not participated in the battle, they would often be scolded back with wide eyes.

"Straight lady thief, did you fight with us side by side near Gubeikou? Brothers are brothers, but we can't make the slightest mistake in this battle. I want to put on the mink hat of the Jurchen godson, follow the Xuanzan on the expedition, and pay it myself! But then again, our two battalions of people are still forwards, don't be the time, the remaining Jurchen Tartars will be cleaned up for us, and you can't get forward! ”

These two battalions of men and horses, as expected, still pestered Xiao Yan to get the position of the vanguard of the whole army. Originally, Xiao Yan planned to let them take a break. Although the men and horses of these two battalions withered to only more than 600 soldiers left, and more than 200 wounded soldiers were recuperating in Danzhou City, half of them were no longer in battle. However, the spirit was extremely high, and in the procession, everyone wore various mink hats on their heads, and their fur was of different colors. In the autumn breeze. The fur of these mink hats trembled slightly, and some mink hats also hung down brocade belts, which were brilliant at a glance. The man next to him peeked at it. He stuck out his tongue at the bottom and applauded: "Good mink camp!" It's not to cut off the heads of six or seven hundred Jurchen Tatars to get these fur hats, with such an army here, it's enough to keep Danzhou! ”

After them, it was the remaining two battalions of soldiers and horses of the Shengjie army, they were full in number, and the army was actually more prosperous than the brothers in front. But it was to rob that piece of mink hat of its grace, and everyone looked at the fire in front of them. He cursed in front of his heart: "Xiao Xuanzan chose whoever stepped forward that day, it was not a matter of fate, your fate was good, and you won such a big victory." If we were to be changed, would the mink camp still be called by us? Follow Xiao Xuanzan, where have you ever failed? Straight lady thief, this time I will fight with the Jurchen Tatars, I hope these Tatars will carry some of the remaining points for us to kill! ”

The light cavalry queue of the Shengjie army is already impressive enough. Some of the Yandi light horsemen mixed in with them, among the military horses on the side, they were all proud and proud. The elite raised by the power of the Great Song Dynasty is idle to say, one by one has been equipped to the extreme, after replacing the Yandi horse, there is really the momentum of nearly two thousand light horses sweeping Yandi, these Yandi men, when did they have such majesty!

After watching the Shengjie army leave the city, the surrounding people pointed and pointed out, and felt the ground shake. The small rocks of the earth and the rocks were constantly jumping on the ground in a regular manner, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and after a round of whirling at the city gate, it became a little dull again, and struck the bottom of people's hearts.

In the blink of an eye, it was the white barns who came out, and for the majesty of these white barricades that moved the iron city walls, the drawbridges at the west gate were specially reinforced, and heavy wooden piles were laid below.

But when the heavy cavalry appeared on the suspension bridge, and the horses' hooves struck the heavy bridge "creak", everyone was worried that the suspension bridge would collapse in an instant!

The soldiers of the white tree soldiers were covered in armor, and the horses were also in armor, and they wore eye covers, looking ready to charge into battle. There is no doubt that it is Xiao Yandong's idea to show military might.

These iron-walled white soldiers and heavy cavalry have put down their face armor, some of the face armor is unpretentious, only a slit is exposed in the eyes, and some of the officers' face armor has many ornaments such as angry King Kong and Pixiu. This heavy cavalry is not as fierce and light as when the Shengjie army is dispatched, and the whistle can be transmitted from the head of the team to the tail of the team. In this army formation, it seemed that only the sound of the clashing blades remained. The people of Yandi have experienced more or less war. When I saw the Shengjie army just now, I could still praise it, and when I saw the whole army of Bai Ji soldiers rearmed, no one could speak, only subconsciously retreated farther.

The white soldiers and horses, the queue seems to be endless. In addition to their own mounts, everyone also had horses, which were used to carry armor. However, in order to show the might of the soldiers, at this time, the armor and horse harness were all on the body. In the past, there were only two or three hundred horsemen patrolling the city, and now the more than 1,400 armor soldiers have come out in the whole army, plus nearly three thousand war horses and pack horses. They have not yet finished, and the raccoon dog battalion of the vanguard of the Shengjie Army has already crossed the Qidu River and disappeared. It only makes people feel that an unprecedented power is completely shrouded in the sky above the edge of Youyan!

After the white soldiers came out, the strikers began to cross the river, and Xiao Yan's figure in armor appeared at the west gate, and his image today was also very official, it turned out to be just a black iron helmet like the armorers, and today it is also a golden helmet, dazzling. Behind him, Yue Fei on the left and Han Shizhong on the right. Originally, Yue Fei was going to be left to rest by Xiao Yanqiang, and by the way, he was the main guard in Danzhou. However, Yue Fei was unwilling to die, Tang Huai and Zhang Xian, who also had a lot of injuries, also had a look of wanting them to stay and die for Xiao Yan to see, so they had to go out together, and Yu Jiang was very depressed and stayed in Danzhou.

Xiao Yan's armor is dark, but the cloak is blood red, and when combined, it naturally has a majestic bearing. All the onlookers from the left and side of the city gate watched the people, only from the shock and fear brought to them by the white soldiers, they saw Xiao Yan out of the horse, and even saw the white-faced Fang County Guard who greeted him behind Xiao Yan, and they all bowed down together, and prayed loudly: "Xiao Dashuai is a success, and Fang County guards the prince Wandai!" ”

Xiao Yan immediately went on the suspension bridge and reviewed Fang Teng Ma Kuo who sent him out. Ma Kuo was carried by his shoulder, his internal injuries were too serious, and he broke several ribs, not dying is already considered fate, no matter how strong he is, it is impossible to participate in this decisive battle with the Jurchens.

Fang Teng's face was self-assured, and Xiao Yan also looked confident. Only Ma Kuo, his pale and sick face was full of worry. looks like he has a lot to say, but he is afraid that saying it will slow down the morale of the army.

Xiao Yan arched his hand towards the two: "Brother Fang, Brother Ma, I'm going." The Tatar beggars betrayed the alliance and went south, invaded our territory, and although they cleaned them up, they still rely on it and do not leave. Don't hurt them, these Tartars don't know how powerful! Wait with ease. If you don't break the Tartars, Xiao Yan will come back to see you without a face! ”

Fang Teng smiled and arched his hand: "Xiao Xuanzan is here, seal the wolf Juxu, and don't wait for us to praise and pray." Click early to break the Tartar beggars, early to the south, Yanjing great achievement. Still waiting for Xiao Xuanzan to pick it up immediately! ”

Xiao Yan laughed and beckoned on the horse: "Yu Jiang! ”

Yu Jiang, who has always been low-key, turned out from behind Fang Teng and Ma Kuan, and when he was captured by Xiao Yan, he was wearing a pair of tattered nose pants and the head of the sun-down and victorious army, and now he has a helmet and armor, and the red robe is fluttering, just like a general of the Song Dynasty. He even began to grow a beard, as if he was going to be heavy-handed.

Xiao Yan smiled: "It's time to make a name, the nickname of the crotch is too much...... Danzhou Lao Tzu handed it over to you, half a corner is missing, Ma Xuanzan is a little damaged, Lao Tzu makes you can't even wear a broken crotch! Do you understand? ”

Yu Jiang saluted respectfully on the horse: "Xuanzan, Danzhou will be handed over to me." If I can't get the round of the rush, I will admit it. It's really not as good as Han Du Yu Hou and Yue Du Yu Hou and them, if it is a Danzhou, Xiao Xuanzan and Fang Senator have such a good situation, I still have three long and two short, I don't need Xiao Xuanzan to come back, I will cut my neck with the crotch of my pants! ”

Xiao Yan laughed: "I can trust you!" But in a word, where did you get the name of your crotch? ”

The soaring and fierce essence that has been hidden in the chest for twenty-six years can never be taken back once it is completely aroused. At this moment, Xiao Yan knew that he was really a human being in two lives.

He said lightly: "Those lonely soldiers in Gubeikou are there, and the soldiers who died together in the last pass are there. Gubeikou is close to the left, and the Jurchen Tatar beggars encountered, before Xiao someone's banner, the loyal soul who fought to the death without a little review was there. If the Tartars don't go, Xiao will go south for merit, what will these soldiers think of me? If the Tartar beggars are not expelled from the land of Youyan, Xiao will definitely not look south!

As for Yanjing, as for Xiao's future fate, it is nothing more than looking at the sky. And Xiao has been fighting with this thief until now, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, he can't go against this thief!

Now Xiao is thinking that he is defeating the Tartar beggars, Brother Ma, you don't need to say more. Waiting for Xiao someone's good news! ”

The generals behind Xiao Yan, hearing Xiao Yan's arrogant words, silently pursed their lips and pressed the sword on their waists. On each of their faces, a look of determination naturally appeared. Fang Teng nodded slightly, but Ma Kuo got up from his shoulder tremblingly, sat there, and bowed deeply to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan returned the salute lightly. Le Ma turned his head, and the half-man on the mount stood in a long neighing circle: "Let's go, follow Lao Tzu to the north, and kill the Tartars!" ”

Before the roar stopped, Xiao Yan had already stepped off his mount and had already rushed out like lightning. Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Niu Gao, and all these names will be as shining as stars in the sky in the future, and they will all follow him closely. From time to time, there was a whistling sound of excitement.

Ma Kuang Fang Teng, standing at the gate of the city, watched Xiao Yan's back disappear from the dust, and the Shenwu Changsheng army and horses of the brigade roared past them, and from time to time someone responded to Xiao Yan's last shout: "Kill the Tartar beggars!" Bo is a wife and a shadow! ”

Fang Teng looked at Ma Kuo with a distant expression: "Maybe this troubled world, and the last days where I was born." Do you really need someone like this to redeem it...... If Xiao Yan really returned to the south, how could the two of us still wait here? Brother Ma, Brother Ma, what we can do now is to prepare for Xiao Yan, in case it is unfavorable, how can we keep his future status in the Great Song Dynasty. Once the naivety really falls, it seems to me that it will be up to him! ”

Ma Kuo was taken aback and looked at Fang Teng: "Although Brother Xiao has a small reputation, but in the Great Song Dynasty, there is no foundation at all, Brother Fang, with your great talent and your family background, do you really want to serve Brother Xiao?" ”

Fang Teng smiled and pointed at himself: "Why don't I stay here or student?" He compared the military situation in front of him, as well as the army horses of the Shenwu Changsheng Army that were passing by him: "Even the student, I, am also deeply addicted to the miracles and various changes brought by Xiao Xuanzan, so that someone on my side can't help but want to keep chasing and watching, the battle between Xiao Xuanzan and this old man's luck, to see what miracles he can create!" ”

On the banks of the Sorghum River, more than a dozen pontoon bridges have revealed their shape on the wide riverbed. A series of small boats along the Liu Li River, like ants, gathered near the left side of the pontoon.

The people would lead the boats to a row and lay long wooden strips to hold them together. Or just there to reinforce the already formed pontoon. On and off the bridge, shouts, banging, and the urging of officers rang out in a ball.

In the north of the Gaoliang River, there are already Song army sentry scouts cruising slowly there, covering the bridgehead on the north bank of the river to ensure the safe construction of more than a dozen pontoon bridges.

Because Xiao Yan had already taken most of the cavalry of the Song army north, there were not many sentinel light cavalry on the north bank of the river, and he also used foot soldiers to fill the number. These foot soldiers had already set up a deer barricade at the bridgehead on the north bank of the river and erected a wooden fence to prevent possible clashes between the Liao. In order to retreat safely, the riverbank is also full of wooden basins and stakes, and all kinds of floating equipment, ready to flee for their lives to cross the river to the south.

However, although the progress of the pontoon bridges was slow, Liu Yanqing ordered the northern crossing four days later, and now it is the fifth day, and these dozen pontoon bridges are still a small half away from the opposite bank. But the Liao people were also surprisingly silent, and they didn't come to challenge the bridgehead at the most vulnerable time. The guards on the north bank of the river were scattered one by one, lying on the river bank in twos and threes basking in the sun. Covering their faces with felt hats, the officers were tormented by the slow progress of the pontoon to the point that they lost their temper and did not bother to take care of things. Follow and laze there.

The south bank of the river is not much better than the north bank of the river, and the soldiers of the brigade, because of Liu Yanqing's order, have already left their camp, and when they approached the river bank, they found that the pontoon bridge was not finished, and only hedgehogs were waiting on the river bank. Last night, there was another rain, and everyone scolded my mother. Now on the south bank of the river, cooking smoke is rising everywhere, the soldiers of the Song army brigade are cooking on the spot, and there is a "buzzing" sound of discussion everywhere, as if this place has become a big beehive.

"Why is the pontoon bridge erected so slowly, let the master eat the wind here!"

"These Hebei West Road people have been following us on the Northern Expedition for seven or eight months, who doesn't know a little about the military formation? Looking at the north bank of the river, we are just a few light riders in the guard sentry, everyone is worried, ready to turn around and run at any time, how can this hand action be fast? In the battle of the Baigou River, there were still several pontoon bridges under construction, so we hurriedly crossed north. As a result, the army was defeated like a mountain and collapsed, and many people could not escape, and were killed by the Liao. If we are soldiers, if the officials have a good conscience, they will still have a little mercy, they are conscripted to serve, and if they die, they will die in vain, and their families will not be left with a penny! ”

It is said that Shangguan also withheld their daily salt and vegetable money and rations. Every day, it is a Sihe rice bean, 460 yuan. As a result, there is no shortage of rice beans, and I can't look at half a penny! It is said that those transport officials on the Hebei Zhulu Road, seeing that the Liao people don't even guard the Gaoliang River, this war can't last long, and there are not many opportunities to make money, anyway, these people are about to be dismissed, so they just seize the opportunity to make a final profit. As a result, we are all suffering here! ”

"It's not just that they've been detained! We are Mrs. Liu, and we are not bad like those transfer officers! Whoever goes out of the team, how can there be no reward for such a big battle? But this time it was also a penny. The guards around Taiwei Liu let out a rumor, and Taiwei Liu hid it. This old guy is not greedy for money in the morning, and he is not greedy for money in the evening, and he is greedy for money at this time! He also said that Yanjing has a mountain of goods. Our Huanqing army all made a fortune in the south of the Yangtze River, and this reward from the imperial court is not worth anything. When the time comes, let us go to Yanjing City and grab it...... We are also ready to cross the river and behead and drain blood, even if the court's reward is not much, it is also within our share, why did we deduct it? ”

"I think that Captain Liu will no longer mess with the army about money at this time. Xu is reward has not yet been transferred...... I'm worried about one thing. We crossed the north alone in the Huanqing Army, and the Jingyuan Army, Qin Fengjun, Xihe, and the Army were all transferred far away from Yanjing, and it seems that the merits of our Huanqing Army have been won by ourselves, but if the Liao people fight back, we will also be the Huanqing Army at that time! There is not even a helping hand, how can the other three armies not be cold, and how can they take the initiative to help when the time comes? Now that everyone is comfortable, they know how good they look when they fight! Don't you see, so many envoys are commanding the envoys, all of them are listless, who wants to cross this bird river with a single army? ”

Of course, the scattered discussion did not lead to any results, it was just that everyone was full of complaints, and the military spirit was even more slack. When I was disturbing, I heard someone whispering: "Mrs. Liu has arrived, come to Henan in person, and come to see us crossing the river!" ”

The voice of this message formed a wave in an instant, and most of the leading officers who were originally lazy jumped up one after another, shouting and scolding loudly, so that the soldiers under their command looked a little like each other and cheered up a little. The pot stove, which was easy to ignite, was extinguished with a scoop of water. Those soldiers were hungry and had to line up to greet Liu Yanqing, and everyone was cursing in a low voice.

"This is rare, that day in the Baigou River, Yelu Dashi Xiao did them to line up in Hebei, and they never saw Taiwei come forward. This time, the Liao people on the north bank of the river are nowhere to be seen, but we always see the captain! ”

"Straight lady thief, if you are proofreading, you won't be able to come down in three or two hours. When it's easy to start a pot after rain? The captain is here, and my stomach is hungry! ”

These complaints were finally silenced under the reprimand of the officers, and the Song troops of the brigade all stood up and lined up in the open space on the south bank of the Gaoliang River, stretching out for several miles. Everywhere you look, it's crowded. The officers who had been sent higher in rank had already mounted their horses in a panic and went out towards the road. After a while, I saw the carriage and horses, and the banner was displayed. Liu Yanqing did not ride a horse, but came over in a huge carriage pulled by sixteen horses.

The carriage was richly decorated and surrounded by verandahs. Liu Yanqing stood on the verandah, holding a jade belt and looking at the lineup of the Huanqing Army under his command, and there were several cronies standing beside him, exchanging words. I think it's all my subordinates patting Liu Yanqing's military prestige and the success of the first battle.

After the rain last night, the south bank of the Gaoliang River was quite muddy, and the huge carriage was difficult to drive, surrounded by Liu Yanqing's personal guards dismounting, desperately pushing and pulling the carriage, and everyone rolled like a mud monkey.

When the army was in front of the battle, Liu Yanqing's style turned out to be a petty officer, and everyone was angry. Liu Yanqing was also a fierce general back then, it's not that he doesn't know that those who want the same will win. It's just that after more than ten or twenty years of comfortable life, I really can't live a hard life. This time, I was able to go to the former enemy in person. It's not easy. What's more, the Liao people don't even guard the Gaoliang River, what can Xiao Gan do if they give up such a natural risk? There is no need to pose as if he is facing a great enemy, not to mention that there is no civil official of the Great Song Dynasty on the front line, he is respected here, what scruples are there?

The officers who greeted him all dismounted and walked in front, waiting for Liu Yanqing to inquire at any time with their faces raised. Liu Yanqing occasionally looked at them for two sentences, and one by one he desperately sent good words, which made Liu Yanqing laugh from time to time.

This Xuanhe chariot and horse, after a while, came to a pontoon bridge under the complicated gaze of the Huanqing soldiers. Seeing the delay, Liu Yanqing's face sank and scolded loudly: "What's going on? Delay the military plane, someone doesn't want to have a head? ”

The officers who supervised the work on the pontoon bridge rushed over, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed desperately. One by one, they all muttered in defense: "Captain." There are not many soldiers and horses to cover the outposts on the north bank, and the people are cold, and their hands and feet are slow. What's more, those transit ambassadors deducted the people's money for salt and vegetables, everyone complained, beat this, lay down that, we didn't supervise effectively, and it was a capital crime! ”

Liu Yanqing endured his anger and scolded: "These unconscious officials, when is it, they are still greedy for this little profit!" What is this worth compared to taking Yanjing? ”

Even as a military general, he is almost at the peak of the military attaché, and he also has the rank of temperance envoy. But for these transfer envoys, the six or seven rank of the Great Song civil officials also had no way at all. At the moment, he could only grit his teeth: "Transfer some money and goods from the military funds, we will suffer for the military ministers who are fighting for the emperor, we have to fight the war, and we have to post money, so let's make up for these salt and vegetables first!" ”

He turned his head again and shouted loudly to the soldiers on the left: "Sons! Xuan Shuai learned that our Huanqing army was about to come to the front enemy, and the reward of the official family accumulated in Xiongzhou had been transported to the front of the army. Sima in the army, if you have the order of the general, you will stay at the mouth of this pontoon bridge, and if you cross the bridge, you will get a reward! This reward is not worth anything. Yanjing City is the southern capital of the Liao people, operating for more than 100 years, with countless high-ranking households. Then there will be a fortune for the brethren! A certain took everyone from Shaanxi to Jiangnan and went to Jiangnan. And then to Youyan, the hard-working brothers, there is finally a reward! Take Yanjing and seal your wife and son, not to mention! Everyone, just work hard! ”

Hearing that the reward had arrived, the Huanqing soldiers finally aroused a little morale, and there was a burst of cheers. Liu Yanqing didn't care much about it, and turned around with satisfaction with Gaoliang Hebei, where there was no trace of the Liao people, so that so many generations of emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, Yanjing City, which had been hanging for more than a hundred years, was not far away!

As soon as he saw it, it seemed that it had been opened to him, just waiting for him to pick it up! In Liu Yanqing's heart, there was only one thought left at this moment, and nothing else could be tolerated.

He laughed and pointed to the other side: "Xiao Gan, Xiao Gan, there is no day!" ”

The generals around him were amused, and they all laughed at this time: "It's not Taiwei Huwei!" If Xiao Gan knew each other, when our army appeared under Yanjing City, he should be captured! The official family is generous, and he can always give him a good death! ”

Liu Yanqing laughed and waved his hand to order. After briefly inspecting the brigade of men and horses that were about to cross the river to the north for a bloody battle, this team of chariots and horses did not delay for a moment, and went back with the same momentum as when they came. At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, it was the time to make supplements, and Taiwei Liu worked hard when he was young, and he was also injured, and his qi and blood were damaged. If you don't care about maintenance, how can you enjoy the days of this hero and handsome man in the future?

The big guys thought that since Liu Yanqing was here to boost morale, he would not set up his camp here and urge the army to cross the river, at least he would have to delay for a while, review the whole army, and agitate. Who knows that Taiwei Liu is probably really comfortable for too long, although he can still make a decision on the spot, but he forgot what to do to lead the army, so he turned around and went back!

The petty officers watched Liu Yanqing's carriage and horses roar away like this, and scolded their mothers in their hearts for a while. Immediately, it dispersed with a "buzz" sound, and continued to make a fire. Compared to what he looked like just now, it was even more chaotic.

Not far away, Yao Gu took dozens of personal guards and stood on the hills on the south bank of Ma, quietly watching the military appearance of the Huanqing Army. His Xihe army was also going to cross the river to the north. But it went straight to Lu County, known as the back road of Yanjing. Yao Gu was unwilling to cross the river with the Huanqing army to join in the fun, so he asked for a man and built a bridge in another place.

Yao Gu is another giant of the Western Army favored by the old and small races, and his ability to lead the army and horses is naturally far more than Liu Yanqing, whose mind is no longer in the army, and he is quite able to share weal and woe with his subordinates, and the military discipline is strict. In the history that Xiao Yan is familiar with, although Yao Gu is a little weaker in the decisive battle, he is an outstanding hand at rectifying the whole army. When the Jurchens went south during the Jingkang period in history, the old species died of illness, the small species died in battle, and the elite of the Western Army disappeared, Yao Gu returned to Shaanxi, and in the panic of the people, there were only a few backbones left in the Shaanxi Zhulu, and pulled up a strict Western Army to come out! Later, the Wu brothers, the famous generals of Zhongxing, held the western front of the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, and repeatedly defeated the Jin army, relying on Yao Gu's legacy.

At this moment, Yao Gu's Xi and military cousins are also very different from the chaotic appearance of the Huanqing army. The construction of the pontoon bridge, in addition to the people, Xihejun also participated in the hands-on, and the construction was completed at this time. The forward of the Xihe army is crossing the river in a strict and silent manner. At each crossing, there are officers to maintain order, and at the ferry, even if it is a temporary rest, there are camps, deep ditches and high fortifications, and they are meticulous. Even the outdoor pots and stoves are neatly arranged. The brigade of carriages and horses is a ferry, and the people take another ferry, and the two sides are not mixed with each other, and the lines are not chaotic.

On the north bank of the river, the sentry of the Xihe army also stretched far to the north, and the bridgehead camp on the north bank of the river was much more complete than the Huanqing army in terms of defensive measures.

Dozens of guards, behind Yao Gu, were also silent.

The way of leading troops is like alchemy hatching eggs, for the sake of the general's mind must be in the camp at any time, and he must restrain his subordinates at any time, and he must not be greedy for comfort. Once the control is lost, the army's spirit is scattered, and it will be difficult to clean up! Liu Yanqing's Huanqing Army is the best example.

After looking at it for a long time, Yao Gu shook his head slightly: "Waiting for Liu Yanqing, we will go to his aid when the time comes?" The old breed, the old breed, you are too inconsiderate of yourself. We rescued Liu Yanqing, he wants to take Yanjing, and he will never give us half of the credit! Xiao Yan went north, it was his own stupidity, do you still expect that Xiao Yan can come back to compete with Liu Yanqing, and we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? Xiao Yan is too late! Instead of this, it is better to wait for Xiao Gan to be restrained by Liu Yanqing, and I will rob that Yanjing! ”

In the Zhangjiawu wall mansion, it has become a place for the Yinkeshu military discussion. Yin Keshu did not stick to the custom of setting up an account, Zhang Yiqian desperately asked him to camp in his own house, and Yin Keshu had no choice but to agree. Zhang Yiqian moved out with his family, and left a lot of clever little girls and beautiful girls in the house, many of which were Zhang Dahaoqiang's beloved things. However, since Yin Keshu entered the house, he hasn't looked at these little beauties much.

The Jurchen soldiers and horses started from Gubeikou, and not only the real Jurchen brigade had already arrived, but even the new attached army infantry had also arrived in large numbers. These new infantry soldiers were all stuffed into the dock walls of various places for Yin Keshu to serve as a garrison. The Jurchen iron cavalry and the light cavalry of the newly annexed army were all transferred out. While sending out sentry agents far south, they were on guard. In order to prevent these cavalry troops from being confined to death by the dock walled fortress, they can maintain their mobility at any time, and can launch a counterattack at the most favorable time.

The mobilization of Yinkeshu is all in order. The military spirit that was originally slightly fluctuating because the three of them were killed was also hidden in the deepest part under the majestic commanding temperament of Yin Keshu. Dong Dalang has also risen with all his strength, and together with Zhang Yiqian, he patrolled the defense of various dock walls. Since the arrival of the Jurchen brigade, Zhang Yiqian has no idea, anyway, he has been tied to the same boat with the Jurchen, and his ability to do it is enough to suppress him, so he has to do his best, while supporting the supply of the Jurchen army going south, while managing the defense with Dong Dalang.

He and Dong Dalang are both natives of Youyan. The terrain of the mountains and rivers was well known, and it was most advantageous for the sentinel to reach out, and both of them also provided a lot of advice.

At this time, Zhang Yiqian only had the luxury of hoping that the belongings and belongings that went out this time would be greatly recovered by going south in the future after the Jurchen really won. The commander of Youyan didn't dare to think that at least there was Dong Dalang, who was qualified to surpass him, and he could lead half of Youyan's military state. That's it.

As long as the Jurchen can win this battle!

When Xiao Yan and the others went north, Yin Keshu was also alone in the room, and presented a local wooden map of Youyan to Zhang Yiqian, pondering and pondering carefully. Beside him, there were only a few guards guarding the door, and no one dared to disturb Yin Keshu's thoughts at this moment.

This wooden map, I am afraid that it is still left by Zhang Yiqian's ancestor, the former general of the Han Army of the Liao State, and it has been rubbed by the future generations for many generations. Yin Keshu's hands, on the wooden map, kept pointing and pointing, groaning for a long time, and finally could only sigh grandly.

"The strength of a certain is really not enough...... You must not fight with the southerners without permission! I want to meet the commander surnamed Xiao again, that battle is really happy, and the soldiers on both sides are the elite of the elite! ”

Outside the door, Wan Yan's voice suddenly sounded: "Yin Keshu, what kind of troops are not enough?" ”

Yin Keshu looked up and saw Wanyan Shehema striding in. This Jurchen young nobleman, but there was no more domineering demeanor on his face today, but after entering the door, he bowed to Yin Keshu very respectfully.

Yin Keshu's personal guards followed closely behind Zong Yan Shehema, and the eyes cast at Yin Keshu were also helpless. Yin Keshu's military order is that no one is allowed to enter, but how can they stop him from being able to stop him?

Yin Keshu is in this little matter, so he naturally won't act like a horse for Wanyan. Although he had a headache, he still squeezed out a smile on his face and beckoned, "Set up a horse." Come and see! ”

It turned out that the horse was under Zong Han's wings, and Zong Han also knew that his son was impetuous, and he would not let him intervene in major matters. can stop him. Yin Keshu didn't feel how difficult this set of horses was, but today Zong Han thought that the southern military horses were weak, and he would set up a horse to make military merits, so as to stand out from the juniors of the Wanyan family. Not only did he have to take care of him, but he also had to deal with unprecedentedly difficult military affairs, so that one head of Yinkeshu was bigger than two. Rather than dealing with him, Yin Keshu would rather Xiao Yan come to the door immediately, and everyone will fight again!

He led Wanyan Shehema to Mutu, and pointed to the place where the string of dock wall forts they were guarding was: "We are here, from here to the north, the terrain is getting higher and higher, and our back road is smooth. With this support, it was originally a good time to have a showdown with the southerners who might go north. But no! I have calculated, you and I have seen the combat power of this southerner army of soldiers and horses, and it is not much worse than us! If you say that a thousand Jurchen soldiers can fight 10,000 Liao dogs. The southerners are still vigorous, and a thousand Jurchen soldiers may not be able to hold each other steadily and evenly with such a 2,000 southern army in a field battle! ”

Wanyan set up a horse and muttered: "Yin Keshu, how many do you think the Southern Army has?" ”

Yin Keshu shook his head: "The sentry detectives from all over the place haven't come back yet, so I can only roughly estimate it." Dong Dalang said that this commander named Xiao Yan still had heavy horses in his hand when he was fighting with Xiao Gan under the city of Yizhou. After taking Zhuozhou and Yizhou, he also incorporated most of Guo Yaoshi's victorious army. There are no less than a thousand light horsemen fighting with us, and he is alone in the depths, and he must have left some to answer in the back. In this way, he still has at least a thousand light horsemen, and the number of heavy horsemen is no less than this, plus the soldiers who have been incorporated by the victorious army. The local forces of Yandi can take refuge in us, and they can also take refuge in him. I will remove all of them from this number, and neither of them will count. In this way, we only have Jurchen sons and daughters of only 700, and except for your two Mouke, only 500 can be taken out for field battles. plus Dong Dalang's new annex army has two or three thousand to use, this Zhang's family, if you look at it like this, we almost have to fight three of us! ”

Wanyan slapped his horse: "Pull out all of my two Mouke and leave." Seven hundred Jurchen sons, the whole army marched, the terrain was favorable, and they were prepared, enough to crush the two thousand cavalry troops of the southerners, and thousands of foot soldiers! Last time, it was just careless, and this time I handed over the Jurchen Erlang to me to set up a horse. I'll bring back the head of the commander of the southerners and give you Yinkeshu! ”

Yin Keshu looked at him strangely: "Zong Han's general's order, his personal guard Mouke, where you are, they have to be there." How dare you disobey? Set up a horse, don't be childish, honestly pause in the dock wall, and there is naturally something to worry about in military affairs! ”

Wanyan tried his best to hold back the anger in his chest, and reluctantly said, "Won't I go out to lead the army?" I am a Jurchen son, and I was born to fight, not a woman. Cower in this bird fortress! Coupled with my two Mouke, it is enough to win a decisive victory with the southerners going north to the military horses! ”

Yin Keshu said categorically: "It's not enough to add your two Moks!" I have already brought the news to Zong Han, this southern army is estimated to be the most elite military horse of the southerners, as long as they are defeated, the southerners will definitely lose their hearts! The commander of the southerners will not let go of frustrating our spirit. Find out what we are doing and what we are, and how much we can do less. Quickly go north and seek a chance to fight with us. Here I am, dragging them down with these dock walls, harassing them with light horses! No matter how elite the southerners are, they can't eat us, as long as the reinforcements sent by Zonghan arrive, we can crush the southerners, and then the Yandi is vast, and I will let you conflict, even if you want to be the first to enter Yanjing City, I will only be you! ”

Wanyan set the horse's face flushed, and he slapped the wooden map fiercely, and the house was shaken, and there was a roar!

"Yin Keshu, you first brought four hundred Jurchen sons and daughters. I brought another 600 Jurchen sons to the court. Coupled with the new annexed army, these soldiers and horses are enough to dominate the world! If my father, or even the old emperor of Aguta, knew that I had to rely on thousands of Jurchen sons and daughters to dare to meet with the southerners, how could I have the face to walk among my peers? In any case, this reinforcement can't be wanted, just with the military horses in our hands, we also want to smash the southerners' military horses and grab Yanjing City! You are so bold that you really frustrate the Jurchen spirit. Daddy knows it, he must be angry, and don't forget, you also killed the three children of our Wanyan family! ”

Yin Keshu was finally annoyed. He tried his best to maintain his elder's bearing, but Wanyan and Hema entangled him again and again.

Everything he did was for the cause of the Jurchen clan, and he was also responsible for Zong Han, but not for this junior disciple!

"Shehema, stand down! Honestly stay in the dock wall, if you dare to move, do you think that a certain person can't enforce military law against you? It's a pity that Zong Han is not you, he knows the severity, and he knows that our Jurchen spirit can no longer be frustrated, since he fights with the Nanren, he has to win it all! He will inevitably send reinforcements, and when the time comes, whatever you want to talk to the envoy of Zonghan! Now the words of so-and-so are military orders, you are not allowed to move half a step! Left and right, point ten guards, take the horse back, and keep a firm watch on him! ”

Once Yin Keshu issued the military order, his personal guards no longer disregarded the face of the horse, and immediately agreed. The guards outside the door rushed in, standing on both sides of Shehema, and it seemed that if Shehema did not obey the military orders of Yinkeshu, he would have to do it.

After Yan set up the horse, he calmed down, looked at the Yin Keshu who had already turned his back and ignored him, "hehe" sneered: "It is a shame for me to set up a horse to listen to orders under the command of a daring mouse like you!" I'll just see how you fight this battle, and I'll be honest with you, in the end, the face of the Jurchens, can only be saved by me! ”

After saying that, he glared at the guards on the left and right Yin Keshu, and shouted angrily: "Don't you take me back?" With this roar he strode away in a fit of rage. Several guards, busy and busy, followed him closely.

When the footsteps of Yan Shehema went away, Yin Keshu turned around, and there was not much anger on his face, but he touched the thick and hideous scar on his face, the scar left by Xiao Yan, and the bridge of his nose that was broken in two, and sighed in a low voice.

"God is pitiful, since the old emperor was beaten, we are the two generations of Jurchens, and there are many heroes. With such a small tribe, it has the potential to sweep the world. If the world is undecided, we are already old, what should we do if we keep these juniors? Nanren Nanren, I don't know why, I always feel that they are not easy people! ”
