The route chosen by Qingyu Zhongwang was very long, from Heluocheng to the north into Henan Road, then to the east along the perimeter of the Baotai Mountains, and then from the Dingfeng Road in the northwest of Fengqiu into Dongyang Road.

Dingfeng Road is the only two passages connecting Henan Road and Dongyang Road, and the other road is a detour from the inside of Baotai Mountain, which is obviously impassable now, because it is the territory of the Seven Star Army.

Since the Northern Expedition of the Huaizhou Army of Southern Qi began, the Yan State has no time to take care of the development of the Seven Star Gang, even if Wang Shidao and others know that more and more people in the green forest are taking refuge in the Seven Star Gang, they are no longer able to restrain them, as long as the Seven Star Army does not go out of the mountains to make trouble.

At the southern end of Dingfeng Road, there is a well-guarded military camp near the mountain and water, where 5,000 Jing troops are stationed to prevent the Seven Star Army in Baotai Mountain from attacking southward.

About ten days ago, Pu Luhun, the chief general of this army, received a military order from Qingyu Zhongwang and led 3,000 soldiers to Luoshan County in the south, which was about 30 miles away from Ruyin City.

Pu Luhun led the army cautiously forward, not only to clear the hidden dangers along the road for the follow-up army assault, but also to give the Huaizhou army besieging Ruyin a little threat, so as to reduce the pressure on the defenders of Ruyin.

Adjutant General Haag continued to sit in the barracks, and in his opinion, 2,000 foot soldiers were enough to control the exit of Baotai Mountain.

Yesterday, Qing Yu Zhongwang led the army through the Dingfeng Road and continued south, although there was not much communication, Hag still looked extremely hot.

Of course, he knew that this extremely powerful and majestic cavalry was going to Ruyin City to find trouble with Xiao Wangzhi, but it was a pity that he didn't have the blessing to share some military merits, but he was cheaper than Pu Luhun.

"Has there been any movement in the mountains north in the past two days?"

Haag raised his hand to summon a personal soldier and asked nonchalantly as he lazily basked in the early spring sun.

The soldiers replied with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, the mountains are quiet, those green forest bandits know that I am guarding the army here, where do they still have the courage to come out and swagger." ”

"Don't be careless."

Haag glared at him and said slowly, "Although it was a lot of coincidences that they won that battle in the mountains last year, these people have some courage after all. Let the people below cheer up, and know that the camp has a reserve of grain and grass for the army, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Obey!"

The pro-soldiers stepped forward, but they were a little unimpressed.

Those people in Baotai Mountain are just green forest thieves after all, what does it have to do with them no matter how lively the fight is in the south? Besides, how much impact did those two or three thousand people in the mountains throw into the battlefield?

……

At the southern foot of Baotai Mountain, on the top of a mountain peak of more than 100 zhang, more than ten people are looking south.

Qi Lianfu, the hall master of the Seven Star Gang Yin Hall, said softly: "Miss, our brother has confirmed that it was the Jing Dynasty cavalry that went south from the Dingfeng Road yesterday, and the number was at least more than 10,000. Judging from the banner of the leader, the commander of this Jing army cavalry should be Qing Yugong's eldest son, Qing Yu Zhongwang. ”

In the crowd, Lin Xi bowed his head slightly and said, "There are Brother Lao Qi and the brothers of the Yin Hall. Now it seems that Qing Yu Zhongwang wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Huaizhou Xiao Dudu to lead the main force to besiege Ruyin City, and launched a surprise attack with more than 10,000 cavalry, and joined forces with the Yan army in the city to defeat the Huaizhou army. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look worried, and Qi Lianfu muttered: "The cavalry of the Jing army is very fast, I'm afraid we won't have time to send a letter to Xiao Dudu." ”

Because of the influence of Lu Shen's relationship, the Seven Star Gang became closer and closer to the Huaizhou Army and Xiao Wangzhi, and naturally did not want to see the Huaizhou Army defeated.

Lin Xi's face was calm, and he said concisely: "Don't worry about the south, Xiao Dudu will take care of everything, our task this time is to deal with the Jing army foot soldiers over there and occupy the entrance of the Dingfeng Channel." ”

Qi Lianfu traveled south and north to see a lot of knowledge, and immediately realized that this was to lock up the Jingjun cavalry led by Qing Yu Zhongwang on Dongyang Road, so he smiled and said: "Uncle is so big, he actually wants to eat more than 10,000 Jingchao iron horses." ”

Lin Xi and Lu Shen have already made a marriage, and the children of the rivers and lakes advocate recklessness and uprightness, so Qi Lianfu's title to Lu Shen is not abrupt, and the others do not have strange expressions.

Lin Xi accepted it calmly, but he didn't go too deep into this topic, and said a word: "Whether we can eat it or not is a later story, now we have to discuss a problem first, how to solve the more than 2,000 Jing troops over there and reduce our own losses as much as possible." ”

Actually, she wasn't used to doing this kind of thing.

Since she was a child, she has lived in an environment where she is happy to chase the wind and rain, even if she has been wandering the rivers and lakes in the name of Bodhisattva in those years, the plotter is just to exchange her own safety for the lives of those corrupt officials in Yan State, when do you need to work so hard as now?

No matter what kind of danger the Bodhisattva encountered, it was only her life and death, but now she had to take care of the safety of thousands of people and even the entire Seven Star Gang.

But she didn't complain in her heart, because even if Lu Shen didn't appear, sooner or later she would have to take over the heavy responsibility entrusted by her father and carry the fate of her brothers and sisters and the old and weak women and children in the gang on her shoulders.

What's more, Lu Shen left her a perfect framework and selected some useful talents in last year's battle.

Among them, the most prominent are several of Lin Xi's deputies, Yu Dajun and Lou Chengyuan, the deputy generals of the infantry army.

Yu Dajun's temperament was more direct, and he answered: "Miss, our army has more strength, and the other party's biggest reliance is the strong camp. Therefore, we can first lure the Jing army out of the village with a small force, and then have a decisive battle in the field. ”

Chu Zhu, the commander of the left army, said: "A decisive battle? Why not lure the enemy to an easy place to ambush? ”

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Don't think so stupidly about the enemy, they won't leave the camp too far." ”

Yu Dajun praised: "What the eldest lady said is extremely true, this Jing army has already transferred some people before, and their strength is not enough to support going deep into the mountains. Most likely, we will have people attack and harass, force them out of the camp to fight, and then the main force will go out to fight the enemy. ”

Lin Xi thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, let's act according to this plan." ”

Lou Chengyuan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Miss, even if we can defeat this Jing army, but our total strength is only four thousand, if we want to hold the Dingfeng Road to cut off the retreat of the Jing army's cavalry, I am afraid it will be a little difficult." ”

Dingfeng Road is not a small road, there is no possibility that one man will be able to open it, but there are tens of thousands of elite cavalry on the opposite side, even if the Seven Star Army loses everyone, it may not be able to block the other party.

Lin Xi smiled and looked around at everyone: "Don't worry, junior brother, he has other arrangements." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Lou Chengyuan immediately put his mind at ease and nodded: "This is very good." ”

The next morning, in the camp of the Jing army, Hag was sitting in the tent when a personal soldier walked in quickly and said, "My lord, a group of people have come outside, and they say that they are members of the Seven Stars Gang. ”

Haag frowned, "The Seven Stars? They ran out of the mountains? How many people are there? ”

The soldier replied, "More than twenty people." ”

This number made Haag's heart feel relieved, and he asked angrily, "What do they want to do?" ”

The soldier said: "The leader said that the grain stored in the mountains is unsustainable, and the grain promised to be given to them by the Yan State Government has not arrived for a long time, so I hope to borrow some grain from the adults and return it to the adults after the summer grain harvest in the future." ”

Hag raised his head and looked at him, his expression became very strange, and it took a long time before he smiled angrily: "Looking for Lao Tzu to borrow food? How much do they want to borrow? ”

The man said...... It takes 1,000 stones. ”

"Damn, grab Lao Tzu's head, let them get out of here immediately!"

Haag scolded angrily, and his soldiers hurriedly retreated.

However, after more than half an hour, the pro-soldier entered the camp again, this time his expression was obviously flustered, and he said hurriedly: "My lord, the Seven Star Gang has come with thousands of people, standing in the north for more than two miles, saying that they must let the adults lend them food. ”

Hag's face changed, and he was furious, and said in a cold voice: "Gather the whole army!" ”

After about half a burnt incense, on the flat ground north of the Jingjun camp, Hag led the troops to line up outside the camp, he looked at the more than 1,000 people on the opposite side, and after scanning around, he couldn't cry or laugh.

With these rabble with a loose lineup, crooked and crooked, one by one standing crookedly, holding a mess of various weapons in their hands, who gave them the courage to run in front of Jing Jun and be presumptuous?

"What a fucking bad luck."

As soon as Hag thought that he wanted to stay here to guard against the group of miscellaneous fish in front of him, Pu Luhun relied on his identity as the main general to go with the little prince to get military merits, and he couldn't help but become more and more irritable, and shouted impatiently: "Get out of the steward on the other side!" ”

A slender and beautiful woman stepped out from among the thousands of heroes in the green forest, and Haag was shocked at the sight of it.

Stunning!

At this time, his tone suddenly became gentle, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "You want food?" ”

Lin Xi said indifferently: "Yes, please ask the general to lend us a thousand stones of grain, and I will definitely return it to you within half a year." ”

"A thousand stones is too much."

Haag looked at the young woman across from him and smiled, "I can lend you three hundred stones, but you have to grant me a request." ”

"What requirements?"

"You can come to the camp and stay for a few days."

The unbridled laughter of Sergeant Jing sounded all around.

Lin Xi's face did not change, and suddenly raised his hand to the side, and Yu Dajun immediately handed over the bow and arrow.

"You are also worthy?"

Lin Xi suddenly opened his bow and set up an arrow, and the long arrow instantly broke through the air, and the speed was as fast as a meteor!

Haag couldn't have imagined that the other party would turn his face when he said it, and subconsciously ducked, and the arrow grazed over his head, and then shot into the throat of a Jing soldier in the rear.

"Say that borrowing is to give you face, if you don't give it to us, you will naturally rob it, don't you know what we do? Besides, you don't look for a mirror to look at your pig face! ”

Lin Xi's words completely ignited the anger in Hag's heart, and Fang Cai's squat made him lose face, and then roared angrily: "Look for death!" ”

But seeing him wave his big hand, Jing Jun roared out and went towards more than a thousand people on the opposite side!

As soon as the battle began, the Seven Star Army soon fell into a disadvantage, and Lin Xi did not have the composure and calmness of Fang Cai, and they seemed to be completely inferior in terms of strength and actual combat experience.

A moment later, the Seven Star Army marched north in disarray under Lin Xi's command.

Hag stared at Lin Xi's figure and said angrily, "Kill them all!" ”

Fleeing and chasing, they soon were a little far away from Jing Jun's camp.

When the distance was more than three miles, the Seven Star Army, which was already close to collapse in front of it, suddenly stopped, and Hag felt that it seemed like a flower in front of him, and the slender woman suddenly turned to look at him, and at some point there was an extra horse chopping knife in her hand.

The next moment, Lin Xi twisted his body and exerted his strength, rushed forward a few steps in reverse, and the long knife was raised high, and with a sound of wind and thunder, he slashed down at the head of the Jing army foot soldiers who rushed to the front!

From top to bottom, this knife cut a terrifying narrow wound in front of the Jing Jun's foot soldier, and blood gushed out!

Haag's heart tightened suddenly, although he was a little far away from the man, and he was surrounded by subordinates, but he seemed to feel the strength of the knife rushing to his face, like a cold wind blowing on his face.

There seemed to be a sudden silence around them.

In the crowd, Haag noticed Lin Xi's gaze towards him, his grim eyes as if he were looking at a dead man.

At the same time, the shouts of killing erupted between the mountains and fields on both sides of the front, and the soldiers of the Seven Star Army appeared all over the mountains, and then rushed to the battlefield from both wings.

And in the north fixed wind channel, hundreds of horsemen are killing like a whirlwind!
