After Wang Hou came, the current division informed Wang Hou of the news that Tian Hu sent troops to attack Hezhong Mansion, Wang Hou learned the news, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then raised his head after a long time, and said: "General, that Tian Hu raised 100,000 troops must have come prepared, and the soldiers and horses of Hezhong Mansion are all supervised by Yan Xuan is a good general in the world, and Hezhong Mansion has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it is not a problem to resist the thief army for half a month. ”

Hearing Wang Hou's words, the seed master nodded and said: "That's it, but this matter has to be reported to the supervising army, otherwise, the court blames it, saying that we will transfer troops without authorization, but it will be bad." ”

Wang Hou listened to the words of the seed master, and also sighed, and reluctantly agreed at the moment, the supervisor of the Yongxing Army is a scholar who has no power to tie the chicken, and he is Cai Jingde's protégé, named Zhou Yunqi, greedy for money and lustful, and addicted to alcohol.

The Song Dynasty is a dynasty that emphasizes literature and light military force, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was born as a military general, Chen Qiao mutinied, so she is very afraid of the military generals in power, such a consequence is that once a war occurs, the commander is often not a general, but a literati scholar who does not understand military affairs at all, which is also a helplessness of the Song Dynasty generals.

After the two of them discussed, the planter went to the house of the superintendent Zhou Yunqi, magnificent, more magnificent than the general's mansion of the envoy of the festival, and came to the house, and the planter saw the superintendent Zhou Yunqi, not fat or thin, medium build, slender face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, straight nose and square mouth, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a traitorous villain, the big traitor seems to be loyal to such a person.

"Hahahaha, I said how come there is a magpie at the door early this morning, it turns out that a distinguished guest has come to the door, why did the general come to me?" Seeing the seed master, Zhou Yunqi laughed loudly, and said with squinted eyes.

The master didn't dare to offend the lord of the prison army, so he bowed down and saluted at the moment, and said: "I have seen the lord of the prison army, the last general came this time to inform the lord of a major event, the anti-thief Tian Hu was lawless, raised 100,000 troops to attack Hezhong Mansion, and the last general was ready to lead the troops to Hezhong Mansion to rescue, and I came to ask the Lord of the Prison Army." ”

Zhou Yunqi was furious when he heard this, and when he slapped the table, he shouted loudly, and said: "What a bold thief, I really don't know the height of the sky, I am waiting for the imperial court officials, I eat the imperial grain, and I take the imperial court's money, so it is naturally a matter of loyalty to the king, although the general sends troops, the affairs in the Jingzhao Mansion are responsible for the official." ”

Hearing Zhou Yunqi's cooperation, the seed division also breathed a sigh of relief, if this supervisor does not agree to send troops, then he has no way at all, don't look at the seed division is a dignified festival envoy, but the military power is in the hands of other people's supervisors, without Zhou Yunqi's military talisman, he can't transfer a soldier.

At the moment, after getting the talisman, the division went to the military horse camp non-stop, and allocated 20,000 horse troops, 60,000 infantry troops, a total of 80,000 troops, Wang Hou, and generals Li Hongyi, Wen Wenhui, Lu Peng, and Dong Kui accompanied the army.

Let's say that Song Jiang led the army to go on the expedition, and appointed his general Pig Iron Buddha Cui Daocheng as the vanguard, the general Earth Giant Spirit Han Bolong, and the deputy general of the Jinscale Python Ma Yuan, commanding 20,000 troops to open the way for the army, open the road in the mountains, and build bridges in the water.

On this day, the vanguard army came to this Linjin County, Linjin County is the gateway of Hezhong Mansion, once Linjin County is lost, then Hezhong Mansion is a horse flat river, there is no barrier, so to hold Hezhong Mansion, this Linjin County is the top priority, and the soldiers and horses of Hezhong Mansion are also here to put 5,000 elites, and let the general of Hezhong Mansion Ma Zhen guard Linjin County.

The vanguard army came to the outside of Linjin County, Cui Daocheng did not immediately attack the city, the army was tired from marching, so he ordered to camp outside the city, ready to rest for a night, tomorrow morning, full of food and drink, in the siege.

Ma Zhen, who was guarding the city, stood on top of the city with his personal guards, looking at the continuous Jin army camp outside, and couldn't help sighing, the other party only had a vanguard army of 20,000 horses, but he only had 5,000 horses, and the county seat of Linjin County was short, how could he resist the army of 20,000.

But after a while, Ma Zhen's gaze returned to his former fortitude, his right hand tightly held the sword at his waist, looked at the Jin army camp under the city, and said in a low and firm voice: "With my Ma Zhen here, you and other rebellious ministers and thieves don't want to take a step forward, people are in the city, unless you step on my corpse." ”

Three days ago, Hu Yanxuan, the governor of Hezhong Mansion, got the news of the invasion of Tian Hu's army, and the first thing Hu Yanqiu thought of at that moment was no one else, it was his henchman Ma Zhen, so he hurriedly called Ma Zhen over.

I saw Ma Zhen, a fierce general in his thirties, more than eight feet tall, broad shoulders and round waist, arms with the strength of thousands of catties, round tiger eyes, lion nose, square sea, short beard under the chin, wearing fish scale armor, wearing a tiger helmet, at first glance he is a brave general in the battlefield.

"Metropolitan Prison." Ma Zhen hugged his fist towards Hu Yanyu and said.

Hu Yanxuan looked at Ma Zhen with a solemn face, and then said: "General Ma, you are my confidant general, now Tian Hu's 100,000 troops are coming to the city, and they will be killed in a few days, Hezhong Mansion is easy to attack and difficult to defend, I am ready to divide 5,000 troops, led by you to guard Linjin County, Linjin County is the gateway to Hezhong Mansion, there must be no loss, I have reported to the general of the Jiedu envoy, and there will be reinforcements in a few days, General Ma can be confident." ”

Hearing Hu Yanxuan's words, Ma Zhen didn't blink his eyelids, and happily agreed, saying: "No problem, don't worry, with my Ma Zhen here, Linjin County will be there, and the general will not disgrace his mission." ”

"Okay, my brother is really heroic, when the thief is repulsed, I will personally salute you with three bowls of wine, and you and my brother will rest when they are drunk, hahaha." Hearing that Ma Zhen agreed so happily, Hu Yanxuan was also in a good mood, and laughed out loud at the moment and said.

Ma Zhen also looked up to the sky and laughed, and the two discussed for a while, Ma Zhen led five thousand military horses, left Hezhong Mansion, and rushed to Linjin County for defense, although Linjin County is a gateway but after all, it is a county seat, and the city wall is short.

There is no way, now it is too late to reinforce, and at that moment Ma Zhen can only bite the bullet and arrange people to put the thunder stone rolling wood, fire oil and gold juice on the city wall, strictly defend, and send military horses to patrol. waited for the arrival of the Jin army.

On the second day, the sky was bright, and the Jin army began to set up a formation under the city, Cui Daocheng, Han Bolong and Ma Yuan were all draped, sitting on the horse with a blade in hand, looking at the short city wall, Cui Daocheng laughed and said: "Such a short city wall, and still delusionally thinking that it can withstand our 20,000 army, it is really a fool's dream, Brother Ma Yuan, the poor monk will give you 5,000 men and horses, and take down Linjin County before noon, how about it?" ”

"Hahaha, come and go, Master Cui is waiting for good news here." Ma Yuan laughed loudly, and then ordered five thousand men and horses to rush forward.

"Brothers, kill me, the gold and silver treasures are in the city, as long as you take the city, the contents are ours, rush." Ma Yuan is not stupid, and he shouted at the moment to boost morale.

Sure enough, this trick was tried and tested, and the soldiers of the Jin army rushed forward one by one with red eyes and screaming.

Now Ma Zhen on the city wall had a solemn face, and saw that the Jin army was almost rushing, and all of them had entered the archer's shooting range, so he waved his hand and ordered: "Archers prepare, release!" ”

With Ma Zhen's order, a thousand archers on the city wall shot out in unison, and the rain-like feather arrows were overwhelmingly smashed down towards the Jin army.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”

A lot of feather arrows were directly pierced into the bodies of the Jin soldiers, and some directly penetrated the past, and there were constantly Jin soldiers who were shot by bows and arrows on the way to charge, and the screams continued.

"Brothers, kill!" Ma Yuan took the lead and rushed directly to the bottom of the city, when the soldiers carrying the ladder rushed over and put the ladder on the low city wall, and then someone desperately climbed to the top.

Seeing that the Jin army had rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and the ladder had been erected, Ma Zhen was still calm, as if everything was expected, and said in a deep voice: "Thunder stone rolling wood, fire oil and gold juice, put!" ”
