Chapter 606 The Opening Ceremony of the Song-Xia Martial Arts Competition
Maybe it was because the decisive battle was imminent, or it was to meet the agreed competition, in short, the atmosphere in Yanzhou City suddenly became tense.
Yanzhou City is allowed to enter but not to leave!
A large number of soldiers guarded the city day and night under the leadership of the three generals Yang Keshi, Han Shizhong, and Shangguan Jiannan under the division of the master, not half a step away from the city wall.
These three generals were in charge of the west, north, and south gates of Yanzhou City, respectively. The only one who is allowed to enter the east gate is guarded by Wang Jin, saying that Yanzhou City is allowed to enter but not to go out, in which the word "enter" refers to the east gate guarded by Wang Jin, and the other three gates are not allowed to enter.
The east gate can be entered, not only to let the Xixia Yipintang masters who came to participate in the competition, but also to let those martial arts people who are under the banner of defending Yanzhou enter.
Wang Jin's power was given by the Seed Master Dao, and the thousand cavalry he brought to chase Bai Liang and the others did not come back with him, but the news he brought back made the Seed Master Dao Lao Huai happy.
What? Jingzhao Mansion was lost, Tongguan was lost, Hangu Pass was lost, and this was repaid? Wasn't this Great Song Dynasty beaten into a sieve?
What? You have recovered all these cities again? Amazing! Capable! You are the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty.
The seed master Dao was shocked and then rejoiced, and if he didn't catch Liang Hongyu's two Western Xia spies, he didn't catch them, this matter is as light as a feather compared to recovering the lost territory.
What's more, Wang Jin also put forward a targeted plan, considering that the Western Xia people might take advantage of the opportunity of the competition to launch a riot in the city, Wang Jin offered a plan to open the door and thieves, close the door and beat the dogs.
You Xixia people have a kind of even if you enter the city, the soldiers and civilians in my city are ready to fight, no matter when, as long as you dare to do it in the city, we dare to destroy you in the city.
Yanzhou City is a border city, the people here have been in the war for a long time, and have already exercised a fierce folk style, as long as the Xixia people dare to enter the city to make trouble, then the whole people will be soldiers, and there will be no return to kill him.
Who is most familiar with the streets and houses in the city? Of course, the residents and soldiers of Yanzhou City are the most familiar with it, and once the iron harriers and foot soldiers of the Tangut people start a street battle, their advantage will be completely lost.
If it is said that in the field battle, the elite troops of Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty army can fight into a situation where one is five, then in the street battle, the two sides are at most one on top of the other, you are looking for someone to fight in the alley, I put cold arrows in the yard, stab cold guns, so I can't beat you?
That's why the seed master Dao issued an order that you are allowed to enter and not to leave, you Xixia people have the ability to mix all the 200,000 troops into the city, and see if the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in my city can make you dumplings!
They are not allowed to come out because they are afraid that the enemy will see their plan and then pass the news to the military camp outside, so they dare not come in, they will not come in or there will be too few people, and the filling of this dumpling will not be enough, so it will be very boring.
Wang Jin said that he estimated that the time for the Tangut people to start the battle would be the first day of the competition between the two countries, that is, the day after tomorrow, so both sides had enough time to prepare at this time.
The four generals each held the four gates, and the master Dao personally led the deputy generals at all levels to patrol the city, and assigned the task of street fighting layer by layer, and implemented it in the homes of every border resident.
The hero's feast in the military field is still going on, today is the ninth day of the banquet, this banquet is a flowing water banquet, you can continue to chat and fart here when you are full, you can also go back to the inn to rest, you can also sleep in place, in short, the banquet will not stop until the night before the Song Xia competition.
The hero banquet is going on, but the leader of the martial arts alliance has not been elected, because he was disturbed by Liang Hongyu nine days ago.
There is Liang Hongyu who swept all the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods in the ring, and those who can't beat Shan Shiqi and Bian Xiang don't dare to go on stage, and Sun An and Lu Junyi, who dare to go on stage, are both arrogant and refuse to go first.
Seed Master Dao was so angry that Liang Hongyu betrayed the intelligence of the Great Song Dynasty, and he no longer paid attention to the matter of the martial arts alliance leader, so this matter was completely cold.
Some people say that after Liang Hongyu escaped, Lu Junyi and Sun An once had an agreement, saying that when the masters of Yipintang in Western Xia came, whoever could defeat all the opponents who dared to come to power in Yipintang would be the leader of the martial arts alliance.
However, some people say that Sun An did not approve of this agreement, and it seems that he was not willing to test the knife on the body of the Tangut people.
In short, the matter of the leader of the martial arts alliance is hung up like this, even though Qunhao wants to see the excitement, but the enthusiasm of the owner is not high, and this drama cannot be performed, so he can only look forward to the arrival of the competition.
Looking at the sun in June, the first day of the Songxia martial arts competition has finally arrived.
The teaching field on this day was overcrowded.
The banquet has been removed from the venue, leaving only chairs for Qunhao to sit on and watch the competition, but the chairs are useless at all, because there are not enough chairs, and those who are standing will always block the sitting, so the sitting ones can no longer sit, and some even stand on the chairs, just to see more clearly.
Two stands were temporarily set up in the field, one south and one north across the martial arts platform, but these two stands are not for ordinary guests, the north is the seed master Dao, Lu Junyi and others sitting, it seems to be a seat prepared for the main players participating in the competition today, and the stand on the south side is empty, is it reserved for the Xixia people?
On the occasion of the three poles of the sun, under the guidance of Wang Jin, dozens of monks and Western Xia warriors gathered around a white-clothed beauty like the moon and walked into the entrance.
Everyone looked at the beautiful woman, but they felt that she was twenty-eight or nineteen years old, with picturesque eyebrows, eyes looking forward to life, long lips but full of temptation, as if she had a thousand words to say. The body is graceful and colorful, walking and swinging willows, and every move has an indescribable charm.
So they asked who this beauty was, and some soldiers of the Western Army guessed: "This must be Princess Pingnan, the second master of Western Xia." ”
Li Ruolan's name is not known to everyone, but there is a princess of Pingnan in Western Xia who has extremely high martial arts, which is not a secret in Yanzhou and even in all border cities.
The woman in white was followed by a masked man, vaguely the "eldest brother" who escaped from Yanzhou with Liang Hongyu before, but his name was unknown. But Liang Hongyu didn't appear, I don't know if she really went to Bianjing and hasn't come back yet.
Behind the masked man was a tall and thin monk, walking like a penny moving, and there was a strange pit in the middle of his forehead, as if he was born with a piece of heavenly spirit cover.
"This should be the No. 1 master of Western Xia, Sumba. He was also the one who challenged the contest this time. ”
The soldiers of the Western Army once accompanied the Planter Dao to receive the arrow book at the head of the city that day, and they had seen this person demonstrate to the head of Yanzhou City before the Western Xia military camp.
Beside the monk, there was a monk dressed in Middle Earth, who was only in his thirties, born in the heavenly court full and round, with a radiant face, I don't know which temple it was a monk in. Who is this man? But no one can say.
Next to the monk, a young man of about twenty years old caught the attention of all the beggars in the room, because this young man was holding a green bamboo stick in his hand, which looked like the staff of their beggars' helper!
"That's like a green bamboo cane!"
"What is it like? Is that a green bamboo cane good?"
"Could it be that this is the Ma Shao gang leader we sent to Tianshan?"
"It must be him, it's strange, how can he be with the Tanguts?"
The beggar gang talked a lot, so they all looked at the elder Wu Changfeng who led the team, Wu Changfeng was embarrassed, he brought his disciples to help the Great Song Dynasty, but the gang leader walked with the Xixia people, how should this be good?
If you want to abolish the gang leader because of this, he as an elder does not have this authority, and he must invite all the nine bag elders to gather in one place, and at the same time, he must also invite the respected elders in the martial arts to notarize and explain the crimes committed by the gang leader, so that it is possible to abolish the gang leader.
But if the gang leader is not abolished, according to the gang rules of the beggar gang, he should lead all the disciples to bow to the gang leader at this time, otherwise he and these disciples under him will violate the gang rules, and they will also be dealt with by the law enforcement elders, and it is very serious.
When the beggar gang disciples were entangled, Wang Jin had already brought the Western Xia group to the grandstand south of the Jiaojun Field, the reason why this stand was built was to reflect the mind of a great country and respect the opponent on the surface, but in fact it was to better monitor their every move.
Let all the Tangut people sit on the platform, its eye-catching degree is no less than the stands where the first Shidao and others in the north sit, if someone wants to quietly leave the stands and sneak out of the field without being discovered, it is impossible.
When Wu Changfeng was entangled, the personnel on both sides had already sat down, and the seed master Dao spoke first: "Since it is a competition proposed by you Xixia people, how to compare the law, you can say it first, our Great Song Wulin has never bullied foreign Fanbang." ”
