The valley is beautiful and the small lake is beautiful.

After Li Xiuning saw the sound of the arrow rising into the air, he took more than 3,000 women's army to this picturesque valley.

The flowers here are colorful, and butterflies and bees dance. It is surrounded by high and low peaks, and the entrance is a path about three feet wide and twenty feet long, and in the middle is a small lake, the water is clear and bright, and the swimming fish are laughing, and the golden light shines in the slanting sun.

Yang Man happily circled around the lake, and only came to Li Xiuning's side when he was tired, and said with a smile: "General, this was discovered by the medicine slave in his subordinate family last year, and he brought his subordinates down twice later,"

Li Xiuning always felt that Yang Man came to the Women's Army with ulterior motives, but when she thought that Yang Guang went south to Yangzhou and abandoned her in Kaifeng, and Chang'an's home couldn't go back, she felt a little pity for her.

When she put down the princess shelf and begged herself to give her a place to stay, she remembered the time when she practiced martial arts and studied together when she was a child, who could refuse her thousands of miles?

Li Xiuning said: "Thank you for recommending this good place, let the sisters wash up, and order, except for three groups of six people to go to Gukou Buming and Dark Gang, the rest of the people will set up a meal and camp here tonight." ”

Everyone listened to the order, took off their cloaks, unburdened them, and went about their jobs.

Li Xiuning also ordered people to dig a number of deep pits the size of a bath bucket by the lake, pad them with burlap underneath, introduce the lake water, wait for the water to settle and clear, and let the sisters bathe, and the good swimmers go down to the lake to wash by themselves, female soldiers are also women, and their habit of loving cleanliness cannot be changed.

After washing away the sweat and dust brought by a day's hot running, I only felt comfortable, and after going to check the post in the middle of the night, I didn't say anything all night and slept very soundly.

Early the next morning, Li Xiuning finished reorganizing his army and left the valley, and was thinking about how to realize the marching route he had planned last night, when the sound of horses' hooves came from the dense forest due north.

Li Xiuning hurriedly ordered to hide on the spot, and it was not advisable to ride his horse so quickly in the dense forest, if it was not urgent, because the branches and trees that grew randomly would trip the knight and the horse at any time, and the gains outweighed the losses.

The sound of feather arrows breaking through the air and the "dong dong" sound nailed to the trunk of the tree sounded in the ears, and the first two horsemen in red armor, black tasseled helmets crooked to one side, with small blue pennants commonly used by the Sui army scouts on their backs, smashed through the three or four feet high bushes and rushed towards the hiding place of the women's army.

Before he could react, more than a dozen tall Mobei horses rushed out from behind, and the knight was dressed in strange clothes, and at first glance it was not owned by Middle-earth, and he could pull the bow with both hands while riding the horse, if it wasn't for the dense forest, the two Sui army scouts would have been shot off their horses.

Li Xiuning didn't wait any longer, with a move of the spear, the women army who were hiding around the dark place threw the spear vigorously in the direction of the foreign knight, and in an instant, more than a hundred red tasseled spears flashed with cold light and fell sharply, surrounding more than a dozen foreign knights.

Suddenly, in the face of great changes, those foreign knights were also extraordinary, and they abandoned their bows and hugged the saddle, and their bodies slid down to the horse's belly, hiding their bodies under the horse's belly.

But in such a dense spear formation, there was no protection at all, and shrinking into the horse's belly was just their subconscious evasion action.

The spear rushed to the wind, coupled with the power of the horse's forward rush, and in the blink of an eye, all the horses and the knights under the horse's belly were nailed to the ground, and the horses neighed in pain and the knights screamed in the sky, and in an instant, the blood flowed like a river, and after a while, it fell silent and silent.

The smell of blood wafted away in the wind, which was disgusting, Li Xiuning came to check the results of the battle, waved his hand and signaled the rear team to intercept the two Sui army scouts, and in this short moment, they had already run out for more than twenty zhang.

In fact, there was no need for Li Xiuning to signal, the rear team had already pulled the tripping rope, and after the two war horses "Xi Jinjin" neighed, they all fell to the ground, and the two scouts rolled and fell off the horse, and one of the arrows in the back was already rolled through the chest by the feather arrow after rolling, and he couldn't live.

The other one was better, fell to the grass next to him, and fainted after rolling a few times, and the war horse also stood up after two of them on the ground, and galloped away uncontrollably.

Li Xiuning hurriedly ran over to look at the fainting knight, only to see that his face was as white as earth, his teeth were clenched, and he was busy using a knife to slowly open his blood-stained teeth and feed him water.

The knight couldn't drink anymore, slowly opened his eyes, and saw that there were beautiful women in white armor in front of him, heroic and cool, but now he had no time to appreciate, and slowly raised his hand to reach into his arms to take something, and said angrily: "Believe in ......"

Before he could say the second word, he spit out a mouthful of black blood, exhaled his last breath, his eyes turned white, and he died of anger.

Although these women have been training intensively for more than ten days, they have never seen such a bloody scene on weekdays, and they can see that several of the women in the front row of the foreign cavalry have lost their faces with fright, their hands holding spears have trembled slightly, and some have closed their eyes, not daring to look at them again.

But the strong smell of blood wafted in the wind, and those who couldn't smell it had already vomited out the breakfast they had just eaten, and some estimated that the bile was spit out, and their mouths were full of bitterness.

Li Xiuning stretched out his hand and took out the letter from the knight's arms, seeing that they were so unwell, he couldn't care about reading the letter, so he hurriedly ordered the captains of all teams to gather their team members, retreat south, and leave here first.

Yang Man and Qiu'er led a few bold female soldiers to dig two soil pits under a big tree, and after burying the two knights, they picked a few bunches of wild flowers on the side and put them on the grave, which can be regarded as a tribute to the soul of the hero.

As for the alien races who are crucified to the ground, who cares about them? After pulling out the spear, it will be scattered all over the ground, and it may be eaten by the animals in a day or two, and I am afraid that no one will know that these centaurs have died here except for the surrounding trees and weeds.

When the few of them were about to go south, they saw Li Xiuning leading the team to catch up, as if they were in a hurry, and they didn't answer when they saw them, waved them into the phalanx, and continued to march north at full speed.

Li Xiuning regretted a little that he told them to stop the scouts, maybe they couldn't hear the shouts from their side at that time, but after running forward for a while, they would know that there were no pursuers, and their speed would slow down, maybe they wouldn't have to die.

There was no regret medicine, and in the circumstances at that time, the team members were right, maybe they were already seriously injured, and falling off the horse was just a way for them to die early.

Seeing the team members who vomited on the ground again, she knew that simple field training could only improve their combat ability, but could not improve their courage against the enemy.

Watching them retreat south, Li Xiuning unfolded the bloody letter, which turned out to be Changshan Luo Yi's letter for help, and the Turkish-Mongolian coalition army suddenly went south, and united Liu Heimin and Song Jingang to surround Changshan, and he sent multiple scouts to the south and west to ask for reinforcements before the siege.

I don't know how long these two horsemen ran to come here, and they were chased and killed by the Turkish-Mongolian coalition all the way, didn't they encounter the Sui army along the way? Yangquan Mansion is under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan, and my father should have sent troops to garrison there, has it also been besieged or fallen? Why haven't you received any news at all?

didn't have time to think about it, after stopping the retreat to the south, he called two team members and asked them to go south quickly, and informed the Changzhi left-behind special combat team about the rescue of the women's army in the north, and asked the special combat team to notify Luo Yu, who was far away in Jincheng, to lead troops to the north to support.

Before the action, Li Xiuning looked at the more than 3,000 subordinates in front of him who were still beautiful girls more than ten days ago, and said loudly: "I don't make the decision for you, this time I went north to Changshan to rescue, there is no military order, it is purely voluntary, but who will withdraw?" ”

No one moved, and Li Xiuning continued: "The battlefield is a man's specialty, but I, Li Xiuning, don't believe in this evil, why can they gallop on the battlefield?" Why should we stay at home and wait for news of their victory or defeat? ”

No one could answer her, looking at the more and more resolute eyes of the sisters, and raised her voice again: "As the descendants of Yan and Huang, we can also do our part for the Chinese fire, instead of worrying at home, it is better to hold the victory or defeat of the battlefield in my hands, now, the foreign race has invaded my Chinese land, what do you say?" ”

When Luo Yu, who was rushing to Changzhi at full speed, received the news that Li Xiuning led his troops north to Changshan to rescue Luo Yi halfway, it was already the second day.

As for why he brought this person with him, Luo Yu didn't know, but he felt that their existence would play an important role in this war, so he followed his inner feeling and brought them in.

Luo Yu was worried, the Turkish-Mongolian coalition army was full of elite cavalry, and how long had Li Xiuning's women's army been training? Even if the well-trained men's legion would not fight the cavalry in the form of infantry, not to mention that the other party was still a tall and mighty steppe war horse, and I didn't know what she thought.

The only hope now is that they can take advantage of the terrain so that the cavalry will not be able to take advantage of their speed, resist danger, and wait for their rescue.

sent a team member to Taiyuan to send a letter to Li Yuan, hoping that he could send troops to the east to contain the enemy army, Yangquan didn't know what was going on, there was no team member sent there, and there was no information back.

Everything that can be done has been done, and I hope everything is still in time. Suddenly, his mind flashed, the time and space he was in was changed to Niangzi Pass because of Li Xiuning's garrison here, could this time and space also happen?

Weize Pass is located in the northeast of Pingding County, Yangquan Prefecture about 100 miles, is the famous pass on the Great Wall, is one of the dividing points of Shanxi and Hebei, Guancheng is located on the cliff, condescending, the Weize River is bent from the southwest to the northeast, around the Guancheng galloping more than once, the mountain is dangerous and the ravine is deep, the situation is dangerous, it is the place where the soldiers must fight since ancient times.

This place is also known as the ninth level of the Great Wall, Luo Yu has not seen the Great Wall since he came here, and now he can finally witness this world miracle with his own eyes.

No longer caring about Li Xiuning's marching route, it is a little difficult for dozens of people to find a team of more than 3,000 people in this vast land, although they are more than a dozen people riding horses and galloping, but who knows if they have found war horses? can only gamble, hoping that Li Xiuning can choose Weize Pass to go north to Changshan.

The group slacked along the winding official road, until the horses were foaming at the mouth, and they could no longer hurry, then abandoned the horses and continued on foot, and after three days they came to the outside of Heshun City, and they could not go any further, because here the Turk and Mongolian coalition forces were encircling Heshun County.

It seems that Yangquan has been lost, otherwise they would not have driven straight into Heshun City.

What Luo Yu was worried about finally happened, now Changshan has become a lonely city, there is Dou Jiande in the south, Liu Heimin and Song Jingang in the west, and the Turkish-Mongolian coalition army in the north, and Li Yuan's Yangquan defenders in the west can rely on, but now they have also lost.

This rescue seems to be meaningless, the Great Sui has no troops to adjust, and Changshan can only be eaten away by a little bit and fall into the hands of the enemy. The only variable is that Dou Jiande in the south should not help the Turkish-Mongolian coalition army for the sake of the small profit in front of him.

Li Xiuning led the women's army to the north of the mountain day and night, and passed by Luo Yu on the official road, because he came out to practice, and he didn't have much food with him, so he could only rely on hunting pheasants and hares and picking wild fruits to satisfy his hunger along the way.

This time, the entire women's army has trained the temperament of a special combat team, climbing mountains and ditches, swimming and diving, eating rabbit meat when necessary, and other field skills have almost been learned, and the women's tenacity is vividly reflected in this women's army.

Leave the mark on the way, and I don't know if Luo Yu found it? I set off two days earlier than them, and I took the shortcut of the mountains and forests, so I should have arrived at Weize Pass earlier than them, and then waited for them to meet at Weize Pass before sending troops to rescue Changshan, but can Changshan hold out for so long? Forget it, let's talk about it when the time comes.

On this day, Li Xiuning wanted to enter the city to replenish some necessities such as salt, but as far as the eye could see, the Tumeng cavalry was galloping outside the city, the city gate was open, and many ordinary people were driven to the side of the city gate, crowded together in a mess.

The perennial war between Jin and Hebei is in turmoil, the martial arts are extremely strong, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army has retreated a lot of government soldiers, if it weren't for the captain who defended the city and opened the door to sacrifice the city for fear of death, how could the Turkish-Mongolian coalition army break the city so easily?

Only one pillar of incense, with a strong cavalry advantage, the Turk-Mongolian coalition army occupied Xiyang City, in order to protect his wife and children, the young and strong in the city did not dare to act rashly, so the two thousand people in the city were all driven out of the city.

When the nomadic peoples of the north became stronger, they would give priority to unifying the small tribes in various places, and then raise troops to attack the rich Central Plains, a pressure that the Chinese people have faced for thousands of years.

At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Northern Wuhu took advantage of the chaos to go south, taking turns to bring disaster to the Central Plains, women were treated as military food, and those who could not eat were directly driven into the river to drown, and the men were locked as slaves and suffered humiliation, of course, there are also some Han soft bones to the credit.

After an old master was killed by a cavalry squad leader who was shot through the neck for the right to go to the toilet for women and girls, the young man in the pile of people at the wall gate could no longer hold back, and fought back under the leadership of the soldiers returning to the city of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

The Tumeng cavalry didn't care whether the people in front of them were old or young, and directly urged the horses to step over, screaming one after another, mixed with incomprehensible slang and laughter, and this small area at the city gate became a hell on earth.

Li Xiuning didn't want to waste time here, but now this situation can no longer be ignored, she glanced at Yang Man and Qiu'er, and rushed straight down with her spear first, killing the nearest cavalryman.

The cavalryman didn't seem to expect that there was an enemy behind him, and he was stabbed under his horse by Li Xiuning in a daze, and he didn't see who killed him until he died.

Li Xiuning grabbed the reins, flew on the horse, slammed the horse's belly and rushed forward, and when he encountered the people in the way, he went to the key point to pick the thorns, and in the blink of an eye, he had already picked more than ten horses.

Yang Man has practiced martial arts since childhood, Qiu'er is Li Xiuning's escort girl, her skills are not weak, coupled with the hard training these days, it is much stronger, they saw that Li Xiuning had entered the enemy formation, and they no longer waited, with a swing of the spear, they rushed to kill first, and the women's army behind them followed and shouted "kill" and rushed to the right formation.

Snatching horses, raising guns, the Turkish-Mongolian coalition army did not react at once, suffered heavy casualties, and there were more and more ownerless horses, which were seized by the women's army who caught up in front of them, and joined the ranks of rushing and killing.

In desperation, the people at the city gate saw a pikeman army in white armor and red cloak descending from the sky, all of them seemed to be girls, and they immediately saw the hope of life, and pushed the children and women into the middle of the crowd to take care of them, and the young and strong soldiers under the command of the government soldiers fought for the weapons of the dead cavalry, and killed the somewhat chaotic Turk and Mongolian coalition forces from behind.

The marching drum sounded in the city, and a cavalry squad with leather armor rushed out of the city gate hole, numbering about two hundred, all muscular, tall and mighty, with fierce eyes, holding a long mace, and did not answer, did not form a formation, and rushed towards Li Xiuning, who was fighting, as soon as he rode a flying horse.

There seemed to be soldiers and horses in the north of the city rushing over, listening to the sound of hooves no less than two thousand horsemen, Li Xiuning knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would die without a place to be buried, so he hurriedly said to a government soldier who rushed over: "Let's drag them down, you take the people to retreat to the mountains, and then go south according to the mountains, and someone will pick you up after Changzhi!" ”

The government soldier was about to speak, and the enemy general with a mace had already been killed, Li Xiuning saw that his weapon was so heavy, and he didn't dare to take it hard, so he lowered his body to avoid it, and shouted in his mouth: "Hurry up!" ”

The enemy will miss a stick, grab the handle with both hands and sweep over, Li Xiuning has no way to avoid it, so he has to hold the gun with both hands to meet it, a strong force comes from the body of the gun, and the war horse seems to be unable to withstand this force, and takes a few steps back.

The block in a hurry was already a bit of a loss, and then he was pushed by this force, his hands were cracked, his arms were sore, his throat was sweet, and he spit out a mouthful of blood, and the spear could no longer hold it, and he fell off the horse.

The mace came a little less and swept over, this time Li Xiuning no longer had a weapon to block, glanced at the direction of the people, and saw that they were already retreating in an orderly manner, so he closed his eyes with confidence, waiting for the arrival of the mace, and felt infinitely sad in his heart: "Luo Yu, I can't accompany you......"

Precisely:

It is difficult to escape from thousands of troops, and they dare to exchange their female bodies for heaven and earth.

But I have no regrets about the soul of China, and I am not afraid of blood.
