Three days later, the Jin army in Langzhou City, which received Lin Chengde's fireworks signal, hurried to the valley twenty miles outside the city, and the army that turned to the southern flank of Longhu Pass defeated the Wu-Chu coalition army inside and outside, destroying a total of 130,000 enemies, and the remaining small remnants of the enemy army retreated into the dense forest without knowing life or death.

So far, more than 200,000 enemy soldiers have been retreated in the first battle of southern Xinjiang, and the Wu and Chu armies have been defeated, and there is no spare strength to invade the Jin State in a short time.

Just when the battle of southern Xinjiang was being fought, the Khitan in the north learned that Wu Chu had invaded the southern Xinjiang of the Jin Kingdom, and Lin Chengde served as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses to march south.

When Lin Qingzhi received Lin Qingji's urgent message from Luoyang, Xiao Mufeng had already led the 50,000 Red Feather Battalion army to embark on the journey north, and Xiao Mulin, the king of Mu, went with him.

Knowing that the Khitan invaded south, Lin Chengde ordered the army to prepare immediately, and set off north to support the next day, Xu Li's betrayal did not bring much shock to Lin Chengde.

This great general, who has been fighting for more than 20 years, just ordered someone to kill Xu Li according to military law, and there was no more words.

On July 9, the 16th year of Yongping, Lin Chengde led an army of 180,000 to return to the north, and at the same time received an edict written by the emperor himself to return to support the north.

At this time, in the Fengqi Palace in Luoyang, the capital city, the graceful queen Wang was carelessly feeding a colorful parrot.

A woman in pink palace dress was mysteriously whispering something in the queen's ear.

The queen, who had a faint expression, couldn't help but look up at the pink-clad palace maid with bright eyes after listening to it for a while, and asked, "Is this matter sure?" ”

"It's true, after this period of investigation, Yingwei has been convinced that the white-haired old man who came to Zuo Xiang's mansion two months ago is Elder Xuanji, and Lin Qingzhi calls this Mr. Xuanji 'Master'."

The pink-dressed palace maid saw that the queen's interest grew, and she said more firmly.

"Okay, flies don't bite seamless eggs, let the emperor maintain it, the previous dynasty wants to be evil, now I don't believe they can turn over." The corners of the queen's mouth hooked.

"Wait, you must protect that person, it will be of great use when the time comes." Queen Wang lowered her head and stroked Mingyu's armor and said slowly.

The pink palace maid bowed and quietly withdrew.

It's really ironic to say that when Lin Chengde, Lin Qingzhi and Xiao Mufeng were risking their lives to fight in the north and south, the blood relatives in the palace were enjoying themselves peacefully, eating and drinking spicy food, and thinking about how to put them to death.

These people may not have seen the tragic scenes of war in their lives, but these people have destroyed their opponents in silence, whether they are loyal to their country or siblings, and whenever they threaten the power and interests in their hands, they are all determined to eradicate dissidents without mercy.

Just as Lin Chengde was leading the army to the north, Xiao Mufeng and Liu Zhiyuan, the general of Jimen Pass, were fighting with the Khitan cavalry with all their might.

Because the Khitan is a nomadic people, most of them have grown up on horseback since childhood, and they are very good at cavalry combat, which is very unfavorable to the people of the Central Plains, who are mainly infantry, and the Jin State, which is already short of good horses, has to buy good horses from the Khitan and its western neighbors every year for training.

Since Xiao Jingjiao bowed down to the Khitan king Yelu Deguang a few years ago and ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, he has only returned two years of peace.

Later, the Khitan soldiers continued to harass the northern border, plundering people, livestock, food, etc., and the border people were unbearable for many years, so this time the Khitan attacked Jimen Pass with the intention of getting involved in the Central Plains again, and even Xiao Jingjiao, who was called a child, could not bear it, and ordered Xiao Mufeng and Xiao Mulin together with Liu Zhiyuan to fight against the Khitan at will.

Because the Khitan combat methods were flexible and changeable, and most of them were based on surprise attacks, so after several battles, Xiao Mufeng and Xiao Mulin also saw that if they used infantry against cavalry, they would not have any advantage, so they summoned skilled craftsmen in the city to urgently manufacture chariots day and night, and they only closed their doors to the outside world.

The Khitan led the battle was Yelu Deguang's own brother Yelu Gue, and the Jin army that did not go out of the door boosted the morale of the Khitan soldiers, shouting and scolding at the city gate all day long, and Xiao Mufeng and Liu Zhiyuan only ordered everyone not to open the door to face the battle, without explaining the reason. The soldiers of the Jin army defending the city only felt that the fire was big, but they did not dare to disobey the military order.

In the early morning of the third day of the closed door, outside the city gate, thousands of Khitan soldiers actually held dozens of Dajin people hostage and scolded under the city, brandishing long knives in their hands and threatening to cut the necks of the people.

Xiao Mulin, who was standing on the city wall, said angrily: "Is this Khitan soldier already mad? and they took the people hostage and threatened them. ”

"It's useless to just scold, I've already used the method of agitation." Xiao Mufeng said in a deep voice.

After that, he saw Yelu Gu, who was standing on the horse, and saw Xiao Mufeng on the city wall and laughed: "Xiao Mufeng, your emperor Lao Tzu called me my brother, you should still call me grandpa in terms of seniority, what?" Are you more cowardly than your emperor's father, and don't care about your own people? Today I will show you all these people dying in front of you one by one. ”

After saying that, he slashed an unarmed person under the horse, and suddenly blood spurted out, and the person was already in a different place, and the blood of the spurt stained a cloud of dust.

"Do you really care if they live or die?" Xiao Mulin on the side roared with tears in his eyes.

"It's not the time yet, if there is a battle at this time, it will only be like the previous few times, and it will not be these dozens of people who will not be able to die at that time.

Xiao Mufeng clenched his fists, his nails were deep in the flesh, and his palms were dripping with scarlet blood, and he strode down the city tower and walked towards a large mansion.

The courtyard of the house was full of ready-made chariots, almost thousands, and hundreds of craftsmen were still speeding up to make them.

July in the north is not hot and humid, but the sun is still like fire, and you can sweat as long as you stand in the sun for a while. The scorching heat of noon also wore down the sharpness of the Khitan soldiers, and they had retreated far away to rest in the shady clearing on the edge of the forest outside the city, leaving only the red blood stains under the city to be particularly dazzling.

On the fifth day of the closed door, the chariots were ready, and the Jin soldiers, who were already full of anger, could finally fight against the arrogant Khitans.

The soldiers on the 2,000 chariots at the front sat in an orderly manner, flanked by cavalry, and finally infantry, hunting with flags, war drums and thundering, and all of them had no fear on their faces, only full of hatred and national shame.

On July 15 of the 16th year of Yongping, under the leadership of Xiao Mufeng, the Jin army launched a fierce counteroffensive against the Turks with a division of 50,000.

The soldiers rushed forward one by one, brandishing broadswords and spears and fighting bloodily, one fell, the other went up, many soldiers were stabbed with countless knives, and at the moment of falling, they also shouted slogans, the scene was tragic and unusual.

The Khitan relied on the rampant behavior for so many years, and they thought that the rulers of the Jin Kingdom, who bowed to them, were weak and incompetent, but they did not expect that the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom would be able to defend a pass and a city regardless of life and death.

Finally, this battle defeated the Khitan with the absolute superiority of the Jin State, captured more than 13,000 Khitan soldiers, broke the "myth of the invincibility of the Khitan" for several years, and made the Jin soldiers establish a firm belief in defeating the Khitan.
