The wind gradually subsided, but the snow fell heavier.

It was an unusually cold winter.

Some people don't care.

Some people smiled happily, because some counties and townships in Ji County were ordered by the imperial court to plant winter wheat.

The snow is heavy, which can effectively kill insects and prevent wheat seedlings from being frozen, and may usher in a bumper harvest in May next year.

Some people are worried, thinking that such abnormal weather may lead to disasters next year.

But now is not the time to worry about the harvest.

In the open field, the cavalry galloped across the country, shouting and shouting.

In the snowstorm, the bows and crossbows were useless, and the rangers turned to the most direct method: hand-to-hand combat.

Duan Liang, the cavalry governor, took more than 100 knights and turned his horse.

Fang just charged and directly scattered the enemy. But they did not retreat, but slowly gathered their ranks and gathered in front again.

"Kill!" Duan Liang took the lead, and more than 100 horsemen followed.

The horses snorted and ran in small steps.

The knights held their spears and halberds diagonally, and they did not hurry.

After a few moments, the horses began to speed up, and the faces of the knights became solemn.

It's faster.

"Whew!" More than 100 spears and halberds were laid out in unison.

The speed of the horses on the opposite side also increased, and they rushed towards the cavalry.

The fierce collision was not long in coming, and the wind and snow were mixed with the crisp clashing of blades and the screams of the horses, and perhaps the neighing of the horses in pain.

Nearly 300 people on both sides rode by on the wrong horse.

Almost at the same moment, empty horses, having lost their owners, were running around in the snow, scattered everywhere.

Duan Liang once again reined in his horse and stopped.

He looked at the greatly shrunken team of his own side, and without the slightest hesitation, he shouted: "Kill!" ”

The knights of the cavalry army, who were less than 100 horsemen, responded in unison.

The other side was silent for a while, and suddenly turned the horse's head and disappeared into the wind and snow.

"Chase!" The soldiers of the cavalry army clamped the belly of the horse and disappeared into the wind and snow.

There was silence on the battlefield after the battle.

A few horses paced back, stood in front of their masters, and licked gently.

The owner will not move anymore, the hot blood will gradually cool, and the body will slowly be covered by wind and snow......

Half a day after the cavalry left, a convoy appeared in the distance.

The carts were on both sides, the infantry in the middle, and the cavalry leading the horses in the back, and there were about 4,000 men up and down.

From time to time, the scouts returned, passing on all the information.

The enemy army was divided into several groups and was plundering at the various village bases and fortress walls.

They also had scouts, and after hearing the news of the killings by the officers and soldiers, they retreated and disappeared into the wilderness.

However, there are also some thieves who have not received the news but have been abandoned and are still besieging the fortress wall.

Outside a dock fort in Fulu Township, Gongxian County, the sound of killing shook the sky.

The lord of the fort, Xingwei, held a halberd in his hand and swung it vigorously, sweeping down three or four thieves in an instant.

Seeing that the dock master was so brave and morale-boosting, the tribesmen launched their temperament, exchanging injuries for injuries and lives for lives, and finally repelled the enemy's attack.

Xing Wei wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh anymore.

Can you repel one, two, three attacks, five, ten?

The difference in thought caused him to be reluctant to surrender at first, and after playing a real fire, the two sides could no longer get off the stage.

At this time, even if he wanted to, he didn't dare to surrender, and the thieves who were sheltering the rout outside the dock fort would not accept their surrender.

Both sides fight to the end, and one of them must lie down exhausted, unless an outsider comes to relieve the siege.

Have it?

Xing Wei smiled bitterly.

Their family is from Handan, because their father and ancestors successively served as Ji County Cheng and Gongxian Commander and settled here, and became a Ji County household. But after all, he has only been in business for two generations, and his generation has not won an official position, and he is only a small official in the county, and his friendship with the local clan is really not enough.

The rest of the forts probably won't come to their rescue. What's more, the thieves are powerful, and most of them are difficult to protect themselves.

It's over, the family business has been passed on to the third generation, and it will be buried in my hands.

Thinking of this, Xing Wei couldn't help shedding two lines of tears.

"Knock knock ......" drums sounded.

Xingwei was a spirit, called his nephew, and said, "Help me get up and fight with the thief." ”

No one came to help him, and everyone stared blankly into the distance.

Xing Wei was shocked, struggled to get up, and looked south, but he was also stunned.

The big banner of the word "Shao" is flying high, and a team of several hundred people is moving forward quickly.

Faster than them were the knights, who dismounted a hundred paces away, and quickly assembled.

Gather the horses, the battles, and the people cruising around on guard, a series of movements are crisp and neat, as if they have been rehearsed countless times, and every link does not waste time.

"Whoosh! Sou! "The bolts were fired, and they didn't seem to work very well in the snow, causing only a limited amount of chaos.

But that was enough, they quickly swung their heavy swords, and more than a hundred people rushed straight up, attacking from the flanks and rear.

The hundreds of foot soldiers who were hurrying behind them also quickened their pace and rushed after them.

"Open the door, go out of the fort and kill!" Xingwei reacted immediately and ordered.

Several sons and nephews woke up like a dream, and they got off the wall one after another, led the Zhuangke tribe who had retreated for a period of time, and rushed out of the dock fort with a shout.

The front and back strikes, there is basically no suspense.

The heavy sword slashed again and again, and the head rolled all over the ground. The gushing blood stained the snow red, and it was so dazzling.

Spears stabbed into flesh in rows, harvesting human lives more efficiently than swords.

The thief's army fought for a long time, his strength was exhausted, and he was suddenly attacked, and he couldn't stand it directly, and subconsciously collapsed backwards.

And at this moment, more than two hundred Dock Fort Ding Zhuang rushed out from behind and gave them the final blow.

The more than 3,000 thieves who besieged the fortress wall were directly routed and fled in all directions.

The old thieves mounted their horses and galloped away.

The new thieves cried and followed, staggering.

The soldiers mounted their horses again and pursued them.

The foot soldiers of the Yamen army slashed and slaughtered mercilessly.

The north wind whined, and the snow fell.

In the boundless wilderness, people are like animals, hunted wantonly, and one by one they fall into the snow......

Near Liu Village, Chengshan Township, Gongxian County, dozens of Liu clans who lived in self-protection, with 300 Zhuang Ke who came to the house, came out of one ding, and followed the Yamen Army that suddenly killed to chase the north......

In the north of Gongxian County, after receiving the news, the former Ji County Taishou, who had retired to his home, ordered his eldest son to lead his servants to attack and raid more than 100 thieves who were resting in the village......

In just one day, the situation changed dramatically.

Ki County was rarely ravaged by rebellious armies, and the local tycoons, clans, families, and even wealthy merchants who kept their guests were not in the habit of surrendering.

If no one comes to save them, in the case of a large number of thieves, they will sooner or later compromise like the manor lords and Wubao marshals of Wei County.

But there are no ifs in the world, and the officials and soldiers are coming.

After carefully comparing Shi Le and the imperial court, I found that Shi Le was still darker, and the money and grain stolen were enough for the imperial court to collect taxes for a few years, and they were asked to be Ding Zhuang, so they were still hesitating! Just do it.

Can Liu Yuan and Shi Le's generation still sit in the world?

Well, it's a bit like overdrawing the last bit of habitual trust of the Hebei family heroes in the imperial court.

In their inherent cognition, Shile is similar to Jisang, they are thieves, and they can't last long.

And Liu Yuan, like Qi Wannian, Zhang Chang and others, will be wiped out sooner or later when the imperial court frees up his hands, even if Wang Mi has already hit Luoyang City this year and shaken their "faith" a little.

The rapid changes in the situation on the battlefield made Wang Sang and Liu Ling, who were searching for money, food, and people, dizzy.

They didn't know what was going on at all, and they thought that Ji County was too crazy to guard Yu Chen, so they sent the county soldiers to the north to find them for a decisive battle.

"Careless." Wang Sang kept sending people everywhere and ordered the tribes to move closer to him.

Liu Ling had a serious face, and after repeatedly questioning several messengers, his face finally collapsed, and he said in disbelief: "Maybe it's not Yu Chen, but Shao Xun, Marquis of Luyang." ”

Wang Sang was taken aback and asked in surprise: "Shao Xun doesn't stay in Liang County, why did he come to Ji County?" On the side of the imperial court, why didn't anyone remind him? ”

Hehe, this is the same as Jin Ting not knowing the inside affairs of the Xiongnu, Liu Han is also blind to the internal affairs of the Jin Court.

What's more, most of the seven generals in the east are foreign soldiers and horses, does Liu Yuan attach great importance to you?

"The soldiers brought by Luyang Hou should not be less than 10,000." Liu Ling rubbed his hands, his face was entangled, as if he wanted to fight again, but he didn't want to fight.

"Vajranu, are you crazy?" Wang Sang pushed him and asked, "How many of your people have taken back?" ”

"More than 3,000, Xinding accounts for most of them." Liu Ling said.

After saying this, he smiled and said, "Send someone to inform your brother, and then pull Yan Zhen over, and the four of us will gather together and slowly figure out a way." ”

"Where's Shiler?" Wang Sang asked.

"Of course, it's going to be passed on." Liu Ling waved his hand impatiently and said, "If you want to deal with Shao Xun, you have to come over with Shi Le's cavalry." In the field battle with the Shao thief array, do you have the confidence to win? ”

Although they often tease Shile, they really can't do without him at critical moments.

The local officers and soldiers in Hebei are really not good, the problem is that they are not very good, not to mention that there are still a large number of newly recruited strong men in the army. When there is a standout with the officers and soldiers, it is often Shile's cavalry who has the final word and solves all the troubles.

Shi Le didn't come, they really didn't have the confidence to win against Shao Thief.

"Then wait for Shile to come." Wang Sang sighed.

Why is the Shao thief so ghostly?

After the defeat of Luoyang, they spent five months slowly reorganizing the remnants of the army, and finally the morale of the army stabilized.

This time out of the Taihang Mountains and rushed to Hebei, it was the best opportunity for them to expand their troops after the rectification, just like they had done in Henan before.

As a result, he was chased by Shao Xun with less than 10,000 people, and he had no time to rectify.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there were many people outside, Wang Sang would have wanted to cry.

Why is it that every time I have just expanded my army, the team is extremely complex, and I have not yet formed combat effectiveness, I am chased and beaten by you? Specifically staring at me, huh?

Liu Ling didn't care what Wang Sang was thinking, he found a few more messengers, and after giving some instructions, he turned around and said, "I have ordered all the departments to retreat to Lin Shu and stretch the grain route of the Shao thief a little longer. Next, it's up to Shiler. If he's not sure, let's withdraw, and leave those jars and jars alone. ”

"Okay." Wang Sang did not hesitate, nodded and agreed.

After saying that, he also found messengers and spread them everywhere.

When the Liukou Nahui, the first trick to saving his life is to be decisive.

It is impossible for Shao thieves to squat in Hebei every day.

He will return to Liang County sooner or later, and at that time, we will go east to loot, and there will be many opportunities.

However, if you can eat the army brought by the thief, it will be a great morale boost.

The name of Luyang Hou is good at fighting, moving from north to south of the river.

Killing this kind of famous generals of the Jin court is more effective than killing ten mediocre generals. From now on, the counties of Hebei are not just walking sideways?

Thinking of this, Wang Sang's heart suddenly warmed up.

He glanced at Liu Ling, and Liu Ling was also looking at him, quite tacitly.
