Thank you for the loneliness in the city, the 10,000 starting coins of weiyizhi for the reward, thank you for the tears of Hongchen 5 and the book friend 130103192938181 for a string of rewards, thank you, thank you, bow!

With the march of Song Qing's Xuzhou soldiers, the battlefield situation in the north of Henan has undergone earth-shaking changes, originally because of the defeat of Zuo Liangyu, the other thieves and horses of the imperial court are also in Beizhili and Shanxi, Shaanxi, etc., for a time can not come at all, and Henan's own resistance ability is extremely poor, resulting in the entire northern part of Henan almost fell into a chaos, everywhere there are rogue teams rampant, local bandit armies often come out to toss, it is simply a mess into a pot of porridge.

This situation continued until Song Qing led his troops into and defeated the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong, and the Liukou in the entire Henan Province seemed to have become honest overnight, after all, the combat power of the Eight Great Kings' subordinates was the top in the entire Liukou team, although this uncle's temper was very short-tempered, resulting in many camp leaders not having a good relationship with him, but his ability was undoubted, even the people who disliked him the most would admit his talent in fighting and his status in the entire Liukou team.

Now even he has been easily defeated, what other people think can be imagined, although Zhang Xianzhong tried his best to show that he only experienced a small setback, it is not worth mentioning at all, Song Qing does not have much ability, but others are not stupid, you 50,000 soldiers and horses are out, only 10,000 people were beaten after a battle, and even the old brothers have lost a lot, and the thousands of people who escaped wandered outside for two days before they dared to go back to find the brigade, if this can be regarded as a small setback, then there will be no big setbacks in this world.

Because of this, the other ministries were also honest, and many originally planned to continue to march to the south, but after Zhang Xianzhong's defeat, everyone stopped marching. Honestly stay with the team, waiting to follow Gao Yingxiang to act together, in addition to Gao Chuang Wang, the most powerful is the eight kings, and now even he is defeated, the rest of the departments are either about 10,000 people, or only a few thousand people, if this kind of force meets Song Qing, it is estimated that it will be difficult to even escape from the army, it is better to be honest.

However, Song Qing can't be exhaustive, after all, he has more than 10,000 people. also divided a thousand to send the prisoners back to Xuzhou, plus some sporadic losses in the previous war, it is impossible to see all the places, and the plan for today can only be to find a place to settle down, and then find an opportunity to seek a battle, before the northern court army comes, first save enough capital for this battle, after all, now the north is full of officials, if all the brains are over. He, a general, really doesn't have much status to speak of.

Choosing a place to settle down is also to learn, Song Qing didn't plan to find those cities that were still in the hands of the imperial court, there were civil officials such as county magistrates in that place, and it would definitely be a trouble at that time. He couldn't kill all the people who didn't like it or didn't cooperate well, so it was best to choose the territory occupied by the rogues, and the officials in that kind of place would either flee. Either he was killed by the rogue, as long as he entered it, he would regain the lost territory, and before the others came, it was all up to him, General Song. There were no other powerful officials to come and gossip, this was the most perfect place to stay, so he chose Tangyin, which was not far from him, as the place where the army was stationed.

Tangyin is the first batch of cities to be taken by the Liukou, but because it is only a county town, and the Liukou do not have the habit of staying in a certain place for too long, so there are only more than 2,000 troops to stay here, mainly to loot food, gold and silver, etc., if there is no benefit, it is estimated that even 2,000 people are too lazy to stay here, Song Qing has begun to mobilize troops and horses, ready to find an opportunity to attack it, and then take this place as his base, and gradually fight to the west, but at this time, he met Li Zicheng.

According to the thoughts in Song Qing's mind, Li Zicheng at this time seems to be not mixing well, what is the fifth battalion of the left left, the old eighth team and the like have not yet come under his command, so although Song Qing knows that this is a character who will become one of the big bosses in a few years, but now he really doesn't care much, and only sent two teams of horse exploration teams to take a look, that is, this time the enemy was light, so that he paid a heavy price, and only three people came back from the two horse exploration teams in half a day, and all the others were killed after being surrounded by others, One of them was even a volunteer Jurchen Orion in the East China Sea, which made Song Qing shocked, but also really a little puzzled.

Fortunately, he has a good habit of fighting, and solves problems in a timely manner, never dragging his feet, especially this kind of threatening thing, and he can do it as fast as he can, and after finding that the other party's strength is very strong, he immediately sent two teams of people, this time even Huerha sent out of Lu, and after two hours, he finally figured out the problem, and the other party has a group of guys who act very much like Jianghu people, with five or six people to a dozen people as a group of activities, all twenty miles away from the west.

Song Qing understood, although he didn't know the origin of those Jianghu people in Ludao, and he didn't know that Ludao's rival who was born in a famous martial arts family was a deputy under Li Zicheng, but he knew very well the role of Jianghu characters, these people would not exert much power in a big battle, at most they were stronger than ordinary soldiers, in the clash of spears and halberds, no matter how strong the individual force was, it would not be able to turn the tide of the war, and even the casual style of the Jianghu people would affect the overall performance of the army, but in solo battles and skirmishes, the role of these people was too great, It can be seen from the two consecutive Tanma confrontations that the first time was almost a complete defeat, and the second time Huerha brought more than a dozen East China Sea Jurchens over, and then he was tied with the other party.

After figuring out the situation, he was a little uneasy, the plan to attack Tangyin could not be changed, but those horses in the west must also be solved, otherwise he didn't know what the enemy army was doing on the other side of the road, he was from a modern society, he knew the importance of intelligence work for the war, but he didn't want to become deaf and blind, when the enemy was attacking him, he could only find out, in that case, it would be too passive, not to mention that the opposite side was Li Zicheng, and then Cao Cao and Luo Rucai, and the most important was Gao Yingxiang's army.

In the face of this kind of opponent, he must grasp all the information in his hands, even if he can't do this, if he retreats to the second, at least he must keep abreast of the opponent's movements, so he continues to send scouts to the west to maintain his knowledge of the surrounding area. It has become an imperative thing, and it is in this situation that Qiu Laohu and the others embarked on a death journey to the west, even if they were ready, they still didn't think of what kind of predicament they were facing.

After half a day's work, they arrived at Hebi, and they saw a group of people rushing across from afar, and the speed was very fast, and those old scouts knew that this was their counterparts coming up. Qiu Laohu and the other five people still didn't react, so they saw that the brothers around them had already rushed up, and hurriedly pulled out their sabers and rushed forward, and those who broke into the camp were not polite, shouting trumpets that they didn't know what to do, holding all kinds of weapons, and rushed towards them, and they collided fiercely with lightning and flint.

When Qiu Laohu was reunited, he was always a little nervous in his heart. It's not that he hasn't fought before, but he has been an auxiliary soldier in previous battles, and he hasn't fought the enemy very seriously. But when I really encountered the situation of fighting for my life, I couldn't adapt to it somewhat, in fact, this is a matter of experience, and these Tanma originally came from the big battle. Only after being accustomed to fighting tens of thousands of people can they be selected to be scouts and fight this kind of few people and more than a dozen people. The tragedy far exceeded the scene of the war, and Qiu Laohu, the five who had just been transferred from the auxiliaries, obviously did not go through the baptism of the war, and directly participated in the more tragic battle of Tanma.

Fortunately, Qiu Laohu and their team are very capable of fighting, and the two sides did not use any too elaborate combat methods, just charged forward with a saber, and then found their enemies, and slashed with the greatest strength, this pure way of fighting ruthlessness and strength is very suitable for Qiu Laohu's five-person group, because even the worst Chen Ma pole among these five people is a good hand than this, although Lin Dahe usually wilts, but the strength is definitely big enough, and the combat skills during the drill are not bad, not to mention the old and strong old chimney, There must be a lot of lives in his hands, and he will not be afraid of this kind of battle, and Zhou Gazi is a famous chicken thief, so it is estimated that he will not be able to suffer losses.

Qiu Laohu's mind was blank, but his eyes were able to lock his opponent, subconsciously imitating Song Qing's appearance, holding a saber and shouting loudly: "Whether you can be a soldier or not, it depends on this time, it's all damn spiritual points, and you can lose some of your spirit, don't die here, follow Lao Tzu to kill!" ”

More than forty riders slammed together, the sound of blades cutting through the armor and screams echoed in the distance, Qiu Laohu could clearly hear his own breathing, and at the same time could feel that he was still alive, and his opponent, a young man in his early twenties, with a muddy face and murderous eyes, was slashed in the right chest by his saber, and then fell off the horse, he should have died at this time, and he, as the winner of this confrontation, is still lucky to be alive, and continues to breathe the air with the smell of earthy seeds.

When he turned the horse's head, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his companions were still there, although the team of more than twenty people had been reduced to fifteen or sixteen, but the four brothers who had been following him were still there, Lin Dahe was covered in blood, his expression was extremely serious, and even a little trembling, it should be the first killing experience in his life, Qiu Laohu himself was also like this when he killed for the first time, so he could quickly identify it, if he could not die this time, Lin Dahe would definitely be alone, Even if he is still stupid in normal times, as long as he really uses the knife, he will immediately become a ruthless swordsman, or a soldier of the dog battalion.

The old chimney is also full of blood, but it is much better than Lin Dahe, this old thing is not the first time to kill people, and it is definitely not the second time, but I don't know how many times he has done it, to some extent, the old chimney is stronger than himself, but he is usually reluctant to express it, Qiu Laohu is actually the least worried about him.

Compared with the previous two, Chen Ma Gong and Zhou Gazi are slightly worse, there are no traces on their bodies, it is estimated that they are cats at critical moments, but being able to save their lives at this time has already shown the ability of the two, Qiu Laohu can't say anything, just turn the horse's head as fast as possible, ready to meet the next round of challenges.

Like them, the rogue on the opposite side also quickly turned the horse's head and pounced again, Qiu Laohu unconsciously ranked in the first place, and he didn't care about adjusting his position, and rushed over directly with a knife, this time his opponent was a dark-skinned man, it was not easy to provoke, when the two horses were staggered, Qiu Laohu felt that something was not good, when the sabers of both sides were cut together, he almost had a feeling that the knife was going to be taken off, and the horse subconsciously stopped, the big man rushed past him, and the thin man who followed saw it cheap, Wielding a saber and killing at him, the moment the other party raised the knife, Qiu Laohu suddenly felt a kind of despair, a double despair of life and future.

It's just that he has always been stiff and upright, so he didn't close his eyes for a moment after the last moment, but watched the other party swing a knife and slash, and saw the other party being hacked to death by the old chimney, and the last saw the old guy hey and happy towards him, quickly urging the war horse to run forward and kill his next opponent.

"Old thing, it's ruthless!" Cui Laohu scolded, hurriedly let his war horse run again, and finally ran back at the end of the team, and when he turned the horse's head around again, he probably counted the number of people on his side, plus he only had eight left, and there were twelve on the opposite side.

Fortunately, the four guys who came out with him are still alive, Lin Dahe was stabbed in the shoulder, but it was only a slight brush, there should be no problem in continuing to fight, Zhou Gazi was covered in blood, he should have killed someone just now, Chen Ma Pole is still like that, but after two rounds of charges, he can still mix on the horse so unharmed, which is enough to show that this guy must be fine, what excites him the most is that the two obviously very unusual guys in the opponent's formation are only the big man.

There are chivalrous people on the Liukou side, Qiu Laohu heard about this when he came, and he also saw that there are two people in this team who are not easy to deal with, and the weapons are different from others, fortunately, one of them has just been slaughtered by the old chimney, only the big man is still in the team, Qiu Laohu calmed down a little, but then he became nervous, and only these people were left behind, he was confident that he could live, and the old chimney should be no problem, but the remaining brothers were not easy to say, especially Zhou Gazi and Chen Mazhuan, maybe they rushed again, will die on the way to the charge, become a victim of the skirmish before the start of the big war, and become a hurdle that he will never be able to get over in his heart.

"Old chimney, let's rush forward later, the big river follows in the middle, Gazi and Ma Pole are behind, don't run away!" Qiu Laohu gritted his teeth, raised the knife in his hand again, and adjusted the position of the war horse by the way, he wanted to make sure that he could face the most difficult big man later.
