I smiled bitterly, it seems that the two generals under my command are not very optimistic about me. An inconspicuous personal guard in the corner of the military tent stepped forward and took a deep look and said, "Murong is planning to personally hold the sword himself and go to the battlefield to kill Liang Qiqi?" To create a chance to win? ”

I nodded and said, "Sure enough, Murong has this intention, so as to minimize the casualties of our army and achieve the effect of a quick battle." ”

Xu Zhiwei's eyes were slightly moist, and she sighed softly and said: "Although Cihang Jingzhai chose Murong Gongzi as the spokesperson to protect the world, he didn't want Gongzi to be stubborn and fight on the front line. What a dangerous thing it is to slash the enemy chief in the midst of thousands of troops, even if the son has deep internal strength and amazing martial arts, he does not dare to retreat with his whole body, and hopes that the son will think twice. ”

I looked at Zhiwei's amazing charm freely exuded when there were no outsiders, but there was not much thought in my heart, this fairy of Cihang Jingzhai gave up the comfortable life of cultivating in the mountains for the peace of the world and the well-being of the people, ran around, contacted many parties, and formed a national protection alliance, which is really admirable. The longer I get along with her, the more I feel the other party's noble sentiments and profound heritage.

Zhi Wei's face was slightly red and said, "Master Murong! ”

I smiled and said, "Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!" It is imperative for Liang to beg for a blade, and Zhiwei doesn't have to worry, Murong is delicate and expensive, and there are two good wives in the family, and there are no heirs, how can he talk about life and death lightly. If you can't do anything, it's not a problem to quit with your whole body. ”

Zhi Wei sighed and said, "Murong Gongzi is the true person selected by my Cihang and Changsheng factions, no matter what, Zhiwei will always be by your side to protect your safety." ”

"It's not a fairy to keep me safe, but I have something I want you to help with." I said sincerely, "My sister and Princess Yinchuan don't know martial arts, and she has made countless enemies in the lower division, which has offended many people in the Demon Dao, and I hope that the fairy can properly protect my family members in my absence and escort them to Gyeongju City." ”

Zhiwei gently turned her face and said, "I will live up to my trust." ”

......

The military situation is urgent and cannot be delayed. I led the Protector Army to ride on horseback and quickly hit the road, and at the same time let the rear hurry up to transport military rations and weapons, Yu Yan and Qinglu could only take the carriage and slowly move forward with the baggage. It is worth mentioning that being able to make my 5,000 Protector soldiers have two military horses in a short period of time, which is inseparable from Zhao Xu's strong support, of course, Tianxiang Pavilion has also played a lot of roles in this, smuggling, buying, robbing and stealing a lot of military horses from Daliao, Western Regions, Tubo and other places, and Xiao Feng, the king of the Southern Courtyard of Daliao, also turned a blind eye to this.

In Gyeongju, 5,000 Protector troops had already settled in the city, and along the way, Zhou Dong and Zong Ze took turns to carry out simple charge training for the cavalry, and at this time the people were tired and tired and just rested. However, I rode a horse and took Zhou Dong, Zong Ze, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong and a few other personal soldiers to inspect the enemy situation on a hill ten miles away from the city.

Lu Junyi is Zhou Dong's eldest disciple, a Hebei man in his twenties, nine feet tall, with bright eyes, a body of martial arts that is the true inheritance of the teacher, and has the potential of being blue out of blue, and has long had the great name of "Hebei Three Peerless Jade Kirin" on the rivers and lakes. Along the way, according to my observation, he is a steady person, his behavior is quite grandmaster-like, and his stick boxing method is still above Lin Chong. What is even more rare is that Lu Junyi has quite a command talent, although I have not yet appointed a pro-army commander, but I can let more than 100 pro-army troops obey his orders, which in addition to personal charm, flexible and effective command ability is also convincing - this is a general who can take charge of himself.

I intended to teach and train my own pro-army, so I pointed to the Western Xia spies in the distance and said: "The Western Xia people are arrogant and domineering, and they dare to go deep into my Great Song Dynasty, who will take down that spy for me?" ”

Lu Junyi rode forward and said, "Marshal, Junyi is willing to take this life!" With that, he drove his horse and rushed towards the other spy. Lin Chong watched his senior brother come forward enviously, but he was unwilling to fight for merit. Although the little guy is not very old, he already understands the principle of humility and virtue, which really makes people have to envy Zhou Tong's teaching.

When the Western Xia spies saw that we had many scruples, they turned their horses and fled. But he saw Lu Junyi galloping forward, untied the horn bow on his body, and shot an arrow from a distance in the gallop of the horse, but saw the Western Xia spy fall in response. When Lu Junyi caught the other party's spies like chickens, it was no more than a cup of tea. Zong Ze sighed: "Guangzu, I was slightly dissatisfied with you before, but this time I saw that Ling Gao's disciple was so young but so good, but he had to accept it. Famous teachers produce high apprentices, and the imperial court has appointed you to be the chief instructor of the Imperial Boxing Gym, which is really a disadvantage to you. ”

Zhou Tong smiled slightly, obviously approving of Lu Junyi's performance, but replied: "Ru Lin praised it falsely, there are many talents in my Great Song Dynasty, what is the wonder of Guangzu after he condescends to others." ”

The Western Xia spies who were shot off the horse were not allowed to die for a while, but they were dragged down by Lin Chong and other pro-soldiers to stop bleeding and heal their wounds.

I nodded and said, "Junyi has excellent martial arts and talent in commanding troops, so I hereby appoint you as my Murong Army's personal soldiers, Yanshan Guard, and Renyong Captain, responsible for the escort of my hundred personal soldiers." ”

Lu Junyi happily clasped his fists and saluted: "Obey the marshal's orders, Junyi will do his best to be loyal to the marshal!" ”

Lin Chong's face was full of excitement and envy, on the one hand, he was happy that his senior brother was promoted to the captain of the personal army, and on the other hand, he was envious of the title of captain of the Yanshan guard, you must know that the commander of the Protector Army is the first master in the world Murong Guoshi, although he is grassy, he must be the elite of the elite, which is a hundred times stronger than the ordinary forbidden army, and he can be the captain of the personal army under Murong Guoshi, but he is much stronger than the general of the ordinary forbidden army.

The number of Western Xia spies in the distance gradually increased, and the forward soldiers of Western Xia also appeared one after another, and the vultures above their heads were constantly expanding their circling range and emitting loud screams from time to time to warn. I know that the opponent's large army is behind - this is the advantage of the vulture left behind by Grandma Tong, it can help me detect the enemy situation and issue all kinds of warnings, and it is difficult to ambush our army with the vulture in the enemy. From the range of its hovering and the frequency of its screams, I could easily tell that the number of the opposing vanguard was around five thousand.

The enemy army has 5,000, but my Yanshanwei is only 100. However, I didn't pay attention to it, and informed the two generals Zhou and Zong of the situation of the enemy's vanguard, and then said: "I intend to lead the team to destroy the Western Xia vanguard army and frustrate the morale of the enemy, what do the two generals think?" ”

"No." Zong Ze hugged his fists and said, "The enemy is outnumbered, it is advisable to show the enemy to be weak, and then wait for the enemy's arrogance to reveal flaws, and then take the opportunity to lead the army to smash the tiger's den and break the enemy." ”

I nodded and said, "What General Zong said is reasonable, but it is better to catch a few more spies and torture the enemy's military situation." ”

Zhou Tong said: "I am willing to lead a small team of cavalry to capture the spies for the marshal, and ask the marshal and General Zong Ze to sweep the formation for me." I nodded, "Go back quickly, we'll go back to the city for dinner." ”

Zhou Tong received the order, took Lin Chong and more than 20 pro-soldiers, rode horses and galloped, led bows and arrows, worthy of being the chief instructor of my Great Song Tianzi seat, only to see that the elite spies of Western Xia fell off their horses like dumplings, and before the vanguard army of Western Xia arrived, they caught seven or eight spies and returned to Gyeongju City.

In the Western Xia military tent, Liang Qikui and General Yigan of the Western Xia fiercely discussed the military situation on the map of Gyeongju City, and one of the bald men said: "The Song people are cowardly, and the city of Gyeongju is empty, I am willing to lead troops to attack Gyeongju, and I can go down every day!" The other generals in the tent also said: "I am willing to lead the team to capture Gyeongju." ”

Liang Qiqi did not agree immediately, but looked at the Zhengdong general Helian Tieshu on the right and said: "Yipintang has many talents, and has been fighting with the Great Song Dynasty martial arts all the year round, and is more familiar with the situation of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Helian Tieshu said: "Yu Liang Shuai, I learned from my spies in Yipintang who were ambushed in Bianjing City that Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty appointed Murong Fu as the national teacher and marshal of the national army, and at the same time commanded the armies of Xihe Road and Huanqing Road in the northwest. At present, Murong Fu has arrived in Gyeongju and shot many of our military detectives. ”

The people in the tent had already been silent when they heard Liang Qiwei mention Murong Fu's name, and by the time Helian Tieshu reported that Murong Fu had arrived in Gyeongju City, everyone was already frightened, and no one mentioned the matter of taking the initiative to attack the city. For a moment, there seemed to be no one in the tent, and only the sound of sergeants walking and patrolling outside the tent was heard.

But he heard Liang Qiqi say with an ugly face: "What is Murong Fu!" I am now leading 150,000 troops, all the archers and horses are skilled, if he does not come, it will be enough, if I see it, I will definitely ask the archers to shoot this fang, in order to repay the Xingqing Mansion for trespassing on the palace and assassinating the queen mother! The order went down, and the troops in the battle of Gyeongju City should move forward bravely, and they should get Murong Furen's head, reward 10,000 taels of gold, seal the marquis of 10,000 households, and allow him to be called the first warrior of Western Xia. ”

The generals in the tent softened their faces a little, and cheered each other up: "Also, no matter how high his Murong Fu's martial arts are, he is not three-headed and six-armed, as long as everyone goes up together, he can't come and go!" "Ten thousand arrows will shoot him like a hedgehog!" "I'm going to cut off his head and kick it as a ball, hahaha! ”

In a group of lively and noisy crowds, only Helian Tieshu was silent, looking a little different, he stared closely at the map of Gyeongju, but what he remembered was that night in the Xixia Palace, the Empress Dowager carefully prepared, many Yipintang masters and elite soldiers attacked the group, Gusu Murong Fu was chic to resist the enemy, and the sword qi was in a chic posture. In the two battles of attacking Murong Fu in the outer part of the Western Xia Palace that day, Yipintang suffered countless casualties and suffered great damage to his vitality, and Helian Tieshu, who was in charge of Yipintang, also fell from the dignified general of Zhengdong to the embarrassing position of the head of the sentinel detective.

It's just that even so, Helian Tieshu didn't have the idea of killing Murong Fu and washing away his shame in his heart. In the depths of his heart, Gusu Murong Fu has long been a heavenly existence, and he must not be an enemy of him, but now he is facing it, but he doesn't know if he can survive this time.

But he saw a black-clothed man in the tent who had been silent for a long time: "General Helian is afraid that Murong Fu is strong in martial arts and invincible?" In fact, there is no need, I am good at assassination, as long as he Murong Fu dares to appear on the battlefield, I will cooperate with the generals to assassinate this fang, and teach the world the strength of my Heavenly Pavilion! ”

Liang Qiqi laughed and said: "I am about to rely on the Nie Pavilion Lord to contribute more, and when I kill Murong Fu, I should ask for a decree and reward Your Excellency!" And ask the emperor to marry the only pearl of Yinchuan princess to you! ”

Nie Bin, the master of the Mending Heaven Pavilion, clenched his fists in a deep voice and said: "I still have to rely on Liang Dashuai to support you!" ”

Since the first battle of Murong Sword Saint Western Xia, the Western Xia court was furious, reorganized Yipintang, and the high-ranking official Houlu hired martial arts masters from all walks of life to help, and it was necessary to kill Murong Fu. The Mending Heaven Pavilion has been silent for a long time after the Tang Dynasty's Demon Punishment Order, and now it has just found such an opportunity to re-emerge from the rivers and lakes, and it is against the two old enemies of Shangcihang Jingzhai and the Xiaoyao faction, so it is natural to actively ask for battle.
