Just after the early autumn, the wind from the northwest gradually became more and more fierce.

It is better for people with fair skin to wear a veil when they go out so as not to crack their faces, but men don't need this thing.

The wind in the northwest is fierce, and the people in the northwest are equally strong.

A group of big birds are flying in the air, the birdsong is particularly lonely in the cloudless background, Bianliang is still enjoying the cool autumn comfortably, and the northwest can already freeze to death in the morning and evening.

The grass on the ground is still a little green, and it won't be long before it will be left with withered yellow on this grassland, and the horse's hooves will spill very little grass juice on the grass.

"Didn't find it!"

This is a team of Great Song scouts.

"Dismount and eat!"

Chen Chong, the head of the leader, turned over and dismounted, sat on the ground tiredly, opened the burden he was carrying, and took out a piece of dry cake to nibble.

Eating too many dry cakes is no different from eating soil, and the dry ones are simply preserved fruits.

"Yesterday someone said that they saw the Tangut people, and I don't know if it's a scout."

"Probably not."

Chen Chong ate the dry cake and felt that the acid reflux in his stomach was very uncomfortable.

He took a sip of water, patted his belly, got up and said, "Ready, continue to probe......"

In an instant, his eyes widened, his pupils narrowed, and his mouth opened, "That's?" Enemy...... It's the enemy! ”

The dust was flying in the distance, and countless cavalry loomed in the dust, and they probably found this group of Song army scouts, and a group of cavalry rushed out at an accelerated pace.

"Oh my God, there must be 20,000 cavalry, right? Brothers, get on your horse and run! ”

As soon as he got on the horse with his men, someone shouted in despair: "The two sides are coming...... I'm afraid we won't be able to run away......"

Chen Chong looked left and right, and saw that the enemy cavalry quietly outflanked from both sides, this is the usual method of the Tangut people, when you find the enemy army in front, the enemy army on both sides is not far from you.

"Run, run separately!"

Chen Chong screamed vigorously, rode his horse to the left and right, and whipped the war horses under his command with a horsewhip.

"All heads ......"

Chen Chong followed and fled, but the enemy cavalry on the left and right were very experienced in accelerating and outflanking on the periphery.

This is to prepare for the annihilation of them in one fell swoop.

"Run! Run! So-and-so dragged them down...... You can run one and count one! ”

Chen Chong beat his horse and galloped wildly, but the enemy cavalry began to close the net, and the Song army scouts were desperately whipping the war horses, and just before the encirclement, they ran out of the five horses.

Arrows flew, five horses fell, three of them fell, and the remaining two fled for their lives.

Chen Chong shouted: "Run, go back and tell Zhizhou...... The army of the Tanguts came...... Be sure to pass it on! ”

The two horsemen didn't have time to grieve, they rode their horses and fled quickly, and a group of Xixia people were chasing behind them, and the two sides quickly disappeared from sight one after the other.

Chen Chong gathered with the remaining scouts and drew his sword to be on guard.

Those Western Xia people looked at them indifferently, and someone asked, "How many people are there in Qinzhou?" ”

Chen Chong shook his head and said in a low voice: "The Tangut people are brutal, they will torture and kill prisoners, and treat us as slaves...... Don't even surrender to the enemy! Die and die standing! ”

The scouts around him answered, and someone choked up.

A large group of cavalry rushed in, and a group of armored cavalry escorted a young man over, and the encirclement was somewhat separated, and the young man was surrounded and entered.

"Question."

The young man just glanced at them, then took out a map and looked at it, talking to a few generals around him from time to time.

"How many people are there in Qinzhou? Have you ever been wary? ”

The leader of the other party came out......

So this is the last questioning.

If you don't say it, you will be trampled into a pulp by a war horse.

Chen Chong's body was trembling, but the hand holding the knife was very firm, he raised his head and smiled, suddenly spit out, and said contemptuously: "Li Yuanhao, did you suffer enough last time in Fuzhou?" ”

The interpreter is translated.

In an instant, Li Yuanhao's face became more blue, he raised his head, frowned at these Song soldiers, and said: "If we can go down to Qinzhou, our men and horses staying in Weizhou can flank Fengxiang Mansion......"

The generals beside him said a few words, and everyone nodded frequently, obviously Li Yuanhao's plan was approved.

"So ......"

Li Yuanhao looked ahead and said, "Let the warriors speed up and see if they can surprise attack Qinzhou City." ”

The founding monarch of Western Xia was never weak, he was belligerent and warlike, even murderous...... That's why he dared to take the initiative to attack the Great Song Dynasty.

The horn sounded, cheers were heard, and the cavalry began to speed up.

Li Yuanhao glanced at Chen Chong, his eyes were indifferent, like a well-fed wolf looking at its dying prey.

"Let's go!"

Those cavalry escorted him away, and the encirclement was dissolved, leaving behind the stunned Chen Chong and others.

"Are they going to let us go?"

A scout was pleasantly surprised, and the Tanguts in front of him suddenly drew their swords and accelerated.

Chen Chong said in despair: "This is to take us to see blood...... The usual method of boosting the morale of the Tangut people, brothers, good to go...... Kill! ”

More than 1,000 enemy horsemen swarmed in......

Chen Chong raised his knife, sniffed, and shouted vigorously: "The ancestors and ancestors are above, Chen Chong has never knelt down to the barbarians......"

He looked back at his subordinates and said calmly: "Since you are going to die, then it is better to die, follow a certain ......."

The five Song soldiers formed a minimal array of arrows and rushed over.

"Kill ......"

Chen Chong slashed and slashed.

People often burst out of potential after despair, and Chen Chong at this moment is almost indomitable, and no one can stop him.

He raised his knife, his eyes were bloodshot, and shouted, "Dog thief, do you know Grandpa Chen today?" ”

One of the generals looked at him with a frown and raised his hand.

"Kill! Fight the enemy! ”

Chen Chong rushed to kill again, but the enemy in front of him suddenly dodged, several longbows were already aimed at him, and those sharpshooters looked indifferently, and then let go......

The war horse came suddenly, and Chen Chong, who fell to the ground, looked at the sky blankly.

He was hit by an arrow in the throat and an arrow in his chest, and he didn't have time to cry out in pain......

……

Qinzhou on the other side.

Fang Zhiping, the prefect of Qinzhou, was reading a letter from Fengxiang Mansion.

After reading it with a smile, he then put down the letter in his hand and said with a smile: "He Yang Gongfu can be regarded as having encountered a bad star, and he has been working hard for a long time on that Su Xun, but he is still a thorn...... Yang Gongfu wrote to complain, saying that Fengxiang Mansion was close to Qinzhou, and Su Xun was sent to let the old man teach him one day...... Ha ha! ”

"Zhizhou!"

He was laughing when a person came in from outside and said eagerly, "There is a scout to report, urgent." ”

"Let him in."

Fang Zhiping's heart jumped, but he still calmly packed up the letter, and the scout was brought in, and he even had an arrow stuck in his body that he didn't have time to take.

"Zhizhou, Western Xia is coming......"

Fang Zhiping put away the letter and asked, "How many people?" ”

"At least 20,000 cavalry."

Fang Zhiping sighed and said, "Immediately send a messenger to warn those tribes in the northwest that Li Yuanhao is really here, whether to follow the Western Xia people or follow the Great Song Dynasty, let them do it themselves." ”

Someone went to run errands, Fang Zhiping took people out, and said as he walked: "Be on guard, assemble." ”

A sergeant rushed out and shouted, "The enemy is coming!" The enemy is coming! ”

The bells were dull, the trumpets were whimpering, and the entire Qinzhou City was busy.

Bands of sergeants rallied and marched to the city, the gates of which had been taken over, and the people who had entered the city were running with panicked expressions.

No one left the city, and at this time going out of the city would be killed by the sergeant on the charge of being a secret agent.

"Mother!"

A child stares blankly left and right on the street.

His mother anxiously shouted the child's name in the crowd in front of her, but she was hugged by the crowd and kept retreating.

This is war!

Fang Zhiping pointed to the child, and someone went over to pick him up, and then ran towards his mother.

The woman hugged her child, and shouted at Fang Zhiping with gratitude: "Thank you Zhizhou, the slave family kowtowed to you......"

Fang Zhiping muttered: "Don't thank the old man, if Li Yuanhao is bent on laying down the Hetao, Qinzhou will not be protected after all, and you will hate the old man when the time comes......"

When you go up to the city, you can already see the smoke and dust in the distance.

"Prepare ......"

Huge bed crossbows began to be wound, and javelin-like crossbow arrows were loaded in slots.

"Go to the city!"

A trott of swords and shields trotted up to the top of the city.

"Array! Array! ”

Rumble!

Everyone stomped their feet in unison, and there was a slaughter on the city.

"Crossbowmen! Prepare for ......"

The crossbowmen appeared, all of them holding new crossbows that Da Song had just made, and their dark and shiny crossbows were like ghosts harvesting life.

They began to line up under the city, and checked their bows and arrows, and the cavalry in the distance was like a line, which grew thicker as the distance drew closer.

"It's Li Yuanhao! Zhizhou, it's Li Yuanhao who is here! ”

Someone recognized the flag.

The Tangut people finally can't help but go crazy?

Fang Zhiping shouted: "All calm! There are mountains of grain and grass in the city, and there are countless weapons and arrows, what are we afraid of? With an old man here, what are you afraid of? ”

He was already in his fifties, but his beard was only gray, and he looked energetic, and the enemy cavalry kept approaching, and finally stopped outside the range of the bed crossbow, and the various voices of men and horses gathered together, which seemed particularly noisy.

Some of the enemy horsemen shouted, and immediately shouted in unison.

Fang Zhiping asked, "What are they shouting?" ”

Someone around him said: "Zhizhou, they are asking whether to descend or not." ”

The surrounding soldiers looked a little nervous, Fang Zhiping saw it in his eyes, and said lightly: "Ask them, a group of rebellious house slaves, are they willing to surrender?" ”

"Rebellious, are you willing to surrender?"

"House slave, I am willing to surrender to my Great Song Dynasty!"

The shouts of the city suddenly silenced the voices of the Tanguts.

"Rebel, house slave!"

After several shouts in a row, the two sides quieted down and stopped this clumsy pre-war demagogy.

The scouts outside the city quickly reported back and forth: "Zhizhou, there are more than 20,000 enemy troops, but there is no large number of convoys transporting baggage, and it can be seen that there are still men and horses behind." ”

Fang Zhi said indifferently: "This is the first time Li Yuanhao has come out after he ascended the throne, he wants to cheer up those rebels, get ready, and teach him a lesson." ”

He was looking at Li Yuanhao who was being embraced, and Li Yuanhao was also looking at him.

"That's Fang Zhiping?"

"Yes."

Li Yuanhao was wearing a silver armor and a felt hat on his head, and said calmly: "This attack is mainly to fight with the West......

"If you want to win people, you must first have excellent strength."

Li Yuanhao sneered: "Of course, if Qinzhou can be won in this battle, then Xifan will join forces with us, and the two families will do their best to deal with the Song people......"

"Yes, Xifan is poor, if you can defeat Qinzhou, you will be able to earn it this time."

"I heard that the grain and grass in Qinzhou City are piled up, and there are countless swords, guns and arrows......

"Shut up!"

Li Yuanhao drank the generals and said, "This is shaking the hearts of the army!" ”

A group of fools, at this time, said that Qinzhou City was rich in materials, and those sergeants would definitely be upset when they heard it.

Ay!

I want to read!

He looked at the generals and felt the need to ask a few teachers to teach them, and he didn't want to hear this kind of brainless words a second time.
