The Changning Army was stationed in Jinshan Forest, just north of Hedong Road, facing Shuozhou Shenwu in the land of Yanyun, less than fifty miles.

Zhao Zhengli climbed a hill in the camp along the morning light and looked at it, and looked at the sand table topographic map in advance, Jinshan Forest is between Luliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain, and there is Luya Mountain behind it, and the terrain in front is straight to Shenwu County, Khitan Shuozhou, which can be attacked and defended.

The fly in the ointment is that there is a Lan Mountain on the west side, which is the border between the Changning Army and the Lan Army, and it is also a mountain range that runs through Wuzhai County, Shenwu Pond.

The terrain is not open, which has led to endless chaos on the border, and there have been frequent disasters recently, and the Khitan secret agents have entered the country in the past two days is just a small episode in the past few years.

Zhao Zhengli wanted to enjoy the scenery of the border fortress, but unexpectedly, He Wen, the small capital commander in charge of five hundred soldiers, visited early in the morning.

Outside the camp tent, I saw He Wen, who was thick and short, and a tall and handsome man.

It was Ge Xiaojin, but today he was in armor, with a dark butterfly pattern waist knife unique to Hedong Road hanging on his waist, and he was holding the order of the commander of Hedong Road.

The so-called "child tiger" is a large and a small copper tiger handsome seal, the commander is in charge of the "big tiger", and the "small tiger" is used as an order, so the seal is like a handsome.

He Wen, who was not tall but strong, bent down and laughed at Ge Xiaojin.

However, Ge Xiaojin turned a deaf ear to him, and it wasn't until he looked at Zhao Zhengli that he squeezed out a cold smile: "Father has an order, and dispatches Zhao Duwei to rush into Lanshan to pursue and suppress Khitan spies. ”

Military and political issues Zhao Zhengli could not disobey the commander's order, bent down and respectfully accepted the handsome, he saw a hint of teasing from Ge Xiaojin's face, obviously this guy belongs to the ruthless generation.

When Ge Xiaojin swept the jasper behind him, his eyes were stunned, and he didn't know whether he was focusing on hurrying a few days ago, or beware of Yao Yangbei's entourage dozens of miles behind, and he actually ignored such a beauty.

He Wen glanced at it and naturally understood the meaning, how could Zhao Zhengli get used to it, you Ge Xiaojin and I can't move for the time being, it's always okay to teach the "dogs" around you a lesson.

"Poof!"

The two extremely fast true qi fingers in the big sleeve hit He Wen's knees, and his armor-covered strong body knelt uncontrollably, he only felt that his knees were red, swollen and painful, but there was no blood.

In the distance, several soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to support Lord Xiaodutong, and Ge Xiaojin was also shocked.

Without thinking about it, he knew that it was Zhao Zhengli who did it, he glanced at the plain-shirted young man coldly, and dropped a sentence: "Please Zhao Duwei leave immediately." ”

Snorted coldly and threw his sleeves away, he was not a tolerator, but that Zhao Zhengli was profound, and he didn't dare to do it easily, because he witnessed his terrifying combat power in the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion that day, so the opponent needed to use some means to be sure, otherwise he would have stabbed this guy who threatened to only carry shoes for him in Daming County when they met.

He Wen saw that Ge Xiaojin was like this, and he could only swallow this evil breath and leave angrily.

Only Zhao Duwei and Biyu were left in the camp, and she muttered, "Dao Chief, have we completely offended Ge Xiaojin?" The commander of Hedong Road is his father, will we not have a good life in the future? ”

Zhao Zhengli smiled: "Politeness will only gain an inch if it is used on the wicked, and if you don't do it, you will tear your face sooner or later, what do you care about?" ”

"But we're ...... now"

"Don't worry, Yao Rongbei will naturally do the matter of wiping his buttocks, what we want is to win people's hearts as soon as possible, and establish the admiration of the soldiers, if it is too slow, so we are bold and crazy, and we have a sense of proportion, otherwise Yao Rongbei will not be idle and panic."

Biyu smiled and swept away her nervous and worried look.

Now Zhao Duwei is a fourth-rank official, but he still needs to listen to the commander's orders in the military camp, so he got up at noon that day and rushed to Lanshan.

I don't know what Ge Xiaojin meant, or He Wen made his own opinion, and arranged a team of fifteen people for Zhao Zhengli, and most of them were wounded soldiers, the older ones were in their early fifties, and the younger ones were about thirty.

Obviously, the soldiers were screened and abandoned, and everyone present seemed to feel something, and the atmosphere was particularly dull along the way.

The half-hundred-year-old soldier sighed: "The old man has been fighting for nearly forty years from the disputes of the Ten Kingdoms, but I didn't expect to end up in such a field. ”

Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's fine, the battlefield is my final destination, but it's just a pain for you young babies!" ”

His old eyes looked around, and finally landed on the plain-shirted young man on horseback in the crowd, and the young man also happened to look at him, and the old man spoke: "Presumably you are the fiery Zhao Duwei who has been arguing in the military camp recently, right?" ”

Zhao Zhengli bowed his head slightly: "It's the junior!" ”

The reason why he lowered his stature was that he respected the old man Rong Ma's lifelong career, and he must have a unique means of survival to survive in the troubled times of the Ten Kingdoms.

The old man didn't expect this young lieutenant with fine skin and tender flesh to lower his posture in public, and smiled a little in surprise, revealing his bustling yellow teeth: "It should be a good thing that Lord Commander is so humble, but this is not a temple of intrigue, and the etiquette of the literati who can't read two big characters is not feasible." ”

Zhao Zhengli became interested and asked, "Oh? So what does it take to do that? ”

The old pawn replied with reminiscence: "I can lead us rough people to win battles, be considerate and care for our subordinates, and have a lot of support for my wife, children and mothers behind us, even if we die, we are generous." ”

Zhao Zhengli asked rhetorically: "Is the old gentleman "generous" on this expedition?" ”

At this point, he didn't care about it, shook his white head slightly, and his tone was full of regret: "The dispute of the ten kingdoms thinks that he has followed the right master, but he is content with the status quo when the world is half calm, but he doesn't know that the people of the land of Yanyun are still under the Khitan minions, and the dynasty first takes the warriors who guard the country, isn't this self-cutting of his arm?" The old decay regrets that now the national strength is insufficient, the harassment of foreign enemies is not chaotic, the party is endless, the country is still difficult to peace, how can the family be safe? Heartbreaking, heartbreaking! How can you be generous? ”

Zhao Zhengli was stunned for a long time, and then the old man remembered that the person in front of him was the fourth rank of the imperial court, and he would definitely face the current imperial court, and he smiled sadly with a disdainful look at life and death: "If you anger Lord Duwei, you can cut the old decay with a sword to relieve your anger." ”

Who knew that the young captain's eyes were extremely soft: "I will definitely lead you to win this battle." ”

Su Yi said arrogantly: "If you are lucky enough not to die, let's recover the land of Yanyun together." ”

Zhao Zhengli wanted to say, "If you don't die, you will destroy the old son of the Song family." "Now that he said this, it must be a big rebellion, so he changed his words to recover the land of Yanyun!

However, except for Jasper's response, the rest of the dozen or so soldiers were all dead, and they all knew the chaotic situation.

The old man sighed: "Lord Du Wei has this intention, I will wait for it, even if I survive, I will only drag my feet, and when I enter Lan Mountain, we will take the lead in charging and fight a bloody way for Du Wei." ”

Zhao Zhengli waved his hand silently, he naturally knew in his heart that he didn't need them to dedicate their lives, and then he took the initiative to chat with everyone to relax the tense atmosphere.

After this, the team is a little more active.

Jinshanlin is less than 20 miles from Qilan Mountain, and the Qilan army has three teams of soldiers entering the mountain from the west side, and the Changning army is also divided into three teams to enter the mountain from the east side.

On the east side of the project, the remnants of the fifteen cavalry led by Zhao Duwei were used as the vanguard to explore the way, and the two teams in the back were separated by 100 meters apart, so that they could support and avoid the annihilation of the regiment.

If you put it bluntly, Zhao Duwei's fifteen people are the pawns of the horse, the pathfinder, in the mountains where the enemy is dark and I am clear, in fact, half of his life has been tied to the belt of his trousers.

The low shrubs of the Lan Mountains in the northwest are all over the mountains, not too steep in Shu, not too difficult to climb, and the high slopes of thick loess are like swollen quinoa steamed buns clustered between heaven and earth.

Zhao Zhengli rode in the front of the horse first, Jasper followed closely, and rode on the slope of the loess mountain for a long time for more than ten miles, and the people were not tired, and the horses were tired first.

The old soldier was slightly panting like a cow, and the two teams of elite soldiers and strong horses in the rear naturally just became interested.

The old pawn couldn't help but think of himself when he first joined the army, and sighed, "It's good to be young!" ”

At that time, the young lieutenant looked back at the old pawn who was almost falling apart on horseback, and after the two of them were side by side, he reached out and patted the old pawn's back twice, and the old pawn suddenly felt a cool feeling into his body, refreshed, tired and painful, he looked at the young man who was smiling at him in great surprise, and was puzzled: "Isn't it a fairy?" ”

The young lieutenant smiled brightly, revealing his white teeth: "It's not an immortal, but I will definitely guarantee to take you all back to the camp." ”

Zhao Zhengli patted the shoulders of the remaining fourteen horsemen one by one to encourage them, and drove away the fatigue with their true qi, and the eyes of those remnants seemed to have a light at this moment.

On the opposite hill were two rugged men in cross-sturdy coats and belts around their waists, unusually muscular horses under their crotches, with sheepskin kettles and scimitars, and bows and arrows.

Zhao Zhengli saw it clearly when he swept his eyes, and the next moment Biyu also noticed it, but she didn't hide her gaze, and her eyes were in line with the other party.

Zhao Zhengli roughly estimated that the two mountains are separated by a hundred miles, and if you rush to the past, you need to cross the depression between the two mountains.

Unless heavy long-range weapons such as bed crossbows and catapults are brought to siege the city, these are obviously impractical.

The other party also measured this, so they had no fear to look across the mountain, and the old soldiers saw that Zhao Duwei and Miss Bi were looking at each other, and they all looked towards the other side of the mountain.

In an instant, the pupils of more than ten people were shocked: "Khitan barbarians!" ”

Zhao Zhengli didn't speak, reached out and took off the bow and arrow on the horse's back, and pulled the arrow on the bow until the full arc creaked.

The old soldiers and remnants only felt that there was an invisible force gathering towards the young captain, and at this moment, the young man in armor was extremely majestic.

The soldiers were inexplicably convinced that Lord Duwei's arrow could shoot a hundred miles away, even though they knew that the idea was ridiculous.

You must know that the siege bed crossbow operated by the six people can barely break the distance of a hundred zhang, not to mention that Lord Du Wei only uses a single bow, which can usually shoot eighty steps, and at most nearly a hundred steps.

However, with a single bow pre-shooting Baizhang Mountain, even they don't know where their confidence comes from.

The two Khitan barbarians on the other side of the mountain and the two teams of elite soldiers at a distance of 100 meters behind all thought that the guy with the bow and arrow was crazy.

The young captain drew his bow and gathered momentum, and the ordinary single bow emitted a humming sound, and the sound was like a beast dormant in the abyss.

The whole body of the arrow is full of airflow, as if it is attached to layers of transparent heavenly power, and the respect is solemn.

"Whoosh!"

The body of the arrow detached from the bow, like a comet breaking through the sky, and the speed was almost invisible to the naked eye, and only a long phantom could be seen clearly across a distance of 100 zhang.

Everyone present was stunned, and their heads couldn't keep up with their eyes.

"Bang!"

If the other side of the mountain hundreds of feet away was hit by a comet, a huge crater appeared, and the two Khitans were even more blown apart on the spot, and their bones were gone.

There was silence in an instant, and the arrows were like meteorites, what kind of divine might this need?

"Whoosh"

However, in the next moment, two red rays shot from the back of the mountain, and the two grandmaster masters Zhao Zhengli and Biyu decisively drew their swords, and slashed out the sword qi in the air to defeat the red man.

At the same time, dozens of Khitan soldiers and horses climbed the mountain, led by young people holding halberds, heroic and cool.

Beside him was a muscular man, with bare bronze arms, a smooth and hairless face, with a reins in one hand and a spear in the other, and he was looking at the men at the head of the mountain with the young man with the halberd.

Zhao Zhengli's pupils shrank, the young man was similar to Yelu Xiao, the first national teacher of the Khitan, and the weapon in his hand was a halberd, and all kinds of details were infinitely close to the Yelu Crane of the "Khitan Double Dragon".

The sturdy man Zhao Zhengli had seen in the tense Egret Temple, and it was Dahe Luohan, one of the three major commanders of the Khitan.

What made Zhao Zhengli even more surprised was how could they quietly enter Lanshan on such a scale?

How to successfully pass through the front three layers of patrol border troops, as well as the layers of beacon sentries?

A bold idea came to his mind, someone pretended to destroy himself by the hand of the Khitan, and seeing their calm and relaxed appearance, he should have waited for a long time in advance.

This is a premeditated collusion!
