In order to prevent the Khitan reinforcements from taking the opportunity to sneak attack, Xiao Mufeng and Liu Zhiyuan stationed their military horses at the Jimen Pass fifty miles outside the city, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the barracks, the soldiers had smiles on their faces, they hadn't been so excited for a long time.

In the military tent, Xiao Mufeng just stared at the chair and supported his forehead with his hand without saying a word, and after a long silence, Liu Zhiyuan asked: "His Royal Highness King Ning, why don't you order the army to withdraw to the city and be stationed here?" ”

"Yelu Gu'er this person has revenge, presumably this battle has disgraced him, he will not be willing to retreat, there must be a battle in these two days, it is said that the Khitan has a cavalry team of 500,000 tiger and wolf divisions, if all of them are dispatched, we are not opponents at all." Xiao Mulin looked at Xiao Mufeng, who was silent with his eyebrows, and shook his head.

And in the Khitan military camp fifty miles away, Yelu Gu'e was furious, swept the things on the case with both hands, and said angrily: "A group of useless waste, a group of southern barbarians can't be defeated, and my old face of Yelu Gu'e will be lost by you." ”

The soldiers around him lowered their eyebrows and eyes, and they didn't dare to make a sound, only a thin Han scholar said with a natural expression: "The general is angry, this time we are underestimating the enemy, but even if Lin Chengde's reinforcements arrive, there is no need to be afraid, in a short period of time, the army has traveled from north to south and from south to north, and after such a long time, the men and horses are tired, if we kill him by surprise at this time, and then use tricks to lure the enemy deeper, then ......" The thin man looked at Yelu Gu's forehead with a calm face, and said gloomily.

After hearing the words, Yelu Gu'e stared at the thin scholar in front of him, and just as the latter was silently drumming in his heart, Yelu Gu'e suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Okay, you Liu Zhigao, so if it doesn't work, how do you apologize?" Yelugu's face changed abruptly.

"That villain is at the disposal of the general." Liu Zhigao arched his hand and said quietly.

In the afternoon of July 16 of the 16th year of Yongping, the mighty army slowly came towards Jicheng, the word "Lin" on the handsome flag fluttered dazzlingly in the wind, and the Jin soldiers stationed at the Jimen Pass outside the city were very excited when they heard the news of the arrival of reinforcements.

The moment Lin Qingzhi stepped out of the carriage and saw Xiao Mufeng, her elegant and delicate face trembled, and her smile was like a flower.

Xiao Mufeng, who was dressed in military uniform, was even more magnificent, and his steps towards Lin Qingzhi unconsciously accelerated, the moment he held hands, his heart was surging, and he was determined to die, thinking that it would be difficult to see each other in this life, but he didn't expect that God would still treat him well, and to be able to see the person he wanted, even if it was worth dying.

Gu Gu was speechless, because she understood, and he understood.

Just when everyone was immersed in the joy of meeting, the roaring sound of the earth-shattering was getting closer and closer, and it was actually the Khitan army attacking, only to hear the sound getting closer and closer, and before they had time to think about it, Lin Chengde and Xiao Mufeng ordered the soldiers to prepare for the battle.

But the Jin army was already tired, after the last battle chariots were mostly destroyed and there were not enough chariots to resist the enemy cavalry, the prepared Khitan cavalry was invincible, for a time the sound of soldiers, fighting, shouting, Khitan cavalry rushed into the Jin army array, the infantry-based Jin army could not resist, the Khitan army was like a bamboo, it didn't take much effort, it cut the Jin army countless times, and then a loud and thick voice sounded, and the dominant Khitan cavalry withdrew without any love of war.

I saw blood flowing everywhere on the scorched earth, countless wounded, and heavy losses.

Lin Qingzhi is already proficient in pharmacology, at this time is treating the wounded with the military doctor, the food in the army is not good, and the medicinal materials are even more scarce, these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country can not eat a good meal, many injured due to the lack of high-quality medicinal materials may be sacrificed to the battlefield, horse leather shroud, but there are too many wounded people who are not carried over, Lin Qingzhi has no time to think about it, so he can only treat them one after another, and when he bandages all the wounded, it is already the moon shadow in the west, and it is half of the night.

At this time, Lin Qingzhi's white cotton robe was stained with bloodstains, and the dried blood stains were as dark red as pulp paper, Rongyue walked into the tent with a basin of water, Xiao Mufeng took a bowl of rice porridge and opened the tent curtain with two steamed buns, and when he saw Lin Qingzhi, he only felt a tingling pain in his eyes for a moment, and said with mist: "Ah Zhi, come over and eat something, the food in the barracks is coarse, and you can only barely fill your stomach, so I can only wronged you first." ”

Xiao Mufeng put the food in his hand on the table, then walked over and held Lin Qingzhi's hands with both hands and slowly put them into the basin and rubbed them gently, Lin Qingzhi, who was busy bandaging the injured for a day, had blood stains between his fingers, Lin Qingzhi quietly looked at Xiao Mufeng who bowed his head and washed his hands for himself, and said quietly: "Brother Mu, you don't have to be like this, Ah Zhi's hands can't kill the enemy, only try your best to save these soldiers who are fighting for the country, compared to you risking death to fight, what I do is nothing." ”

The more he heard Lin Qingzhi say this, Xiao Mufeng felt more bitter in his heart, raised his sleeve and wiped it from his face: "A man should have spilled blood on the battlefield and sacrificed his life for the country." But you're different, you could have been a delicate and expensive lady and didn't have to suffer all this. ”

"Compared to being trapped in the boudoir of Houmen all my life, I prefer to be so chic and wanton, I know what should be done and what is meaningful, Brother Mu, I understand your intentions, but Ah Zhi wants to be more than just a daughter of Houmen." Lin Qingzhi held Xiao Mufeng's hands back, her eyes flashing sincerely, as bright and clear as a jewel.

Xiao Mufeng hugged Lin Qingzhi when he heard this, and said quietly after a while: "I have agreed with Zuo Xiang that tomorrow night I will lead 50,000 archers to the west and attack the rear of Yelu Gu'e after crossing the Yellow River. ”

Hearing Xiao Mufeng's words, Lin Qingzhi pushed him away and said in a daze: "Although this plan is good, but it is bitter cold and short of water outside, and the terrain direction is difficult to distinguish, Brother Mu must cherish it." After speaking, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Xiao Mufeng stroked the wind-blown hair on the side of Lin Qingzhi's cheek and said gently: "Haven't you always wanted to gallop on the field, I will fulfill your wish for you, but... It will take more than ten days, and it may take a month, or even two months, if ...... If something happens to me, don't wait for me. ”

"You will definitely return triumphantly, and if you die on the battlefield, I will accompany you, so you must return safely." Lin Qingzhi raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Mufeng and said firmly.

"I can't beat you, I promise you, take care of my life, okay?" Xiao Mufeng's index finger lightly swiped over the bridge of Lin Qingzhi's nose, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Jicheng is close to the mountains in the north, this time the Khitan was able to bypass Jimen Pass and attack the Jin army unknowingly, in addition to the choice of timing, there is another very important point that we have overlooked, that is, the entrance and exit of each mountain." Lin Chengde was in the tent, pointing to a topographical map hanging and said.

"Lin Shuai, we have sent troops to guard the entrances and exits of each mountain, if it is possible to miss dozens of people, but it is impossible for these tens of thousands of enemy soldiers not to find out." Liu Zhiyuan on the side was puzzled.

"But what if they don't take the mountain road?" Xiao Mulin thought for a moment and said suddenly.

"It's not a mountain road, and you can still fly with wings?" Liu Zhiyuan frowned.

"King Mu means that the enemy army is taking a secret road, Jimen Pass is an important pass in the northernmost part of my Jin Kingdom, the Khitan has coveted it for a long time, it is impossible not to be prepared, maybe they have secretly built a secret road a long time ago, so this attack on our dynasty must have been premeditated." Lin Qingzhi and Xiao Mufeng walked to the tent and followed the words of Lin Chengde and Liu Zhiyuan slowly.

"Yelugu is impulsive and irritable, and he has no city in his chest, so it seems that there must be a master behind him." Lin Chengde said coldly.
