Chapter 36 The Second General of Bianling Mountain Falls

Let's say that Zhang Zheng ordered 4,000 men and horses in the barracks to go out of the city to resist the enemy. When the men and horses arrived at the Xuanwu Gate, they saw the three generals coming on horses. The first person is holding a spear, wearing a heavy Kai, a sword at his waist, and a gray beard. The two generals behind him are Lei Ming and Yang Jianhui!

Lei Dahai did not agree with Yang Jianhui to go with him! However, Yang Jianhui said: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband! My generation is young and serves the country properly. Besides, my father also hopes that I can serve the court!"

When Lei Dahai heard this, he allowed him to go with him!

Zhang Zheng saw that Lei Dahai was leading the second general, so he immediately surrendered his hand. Lei Ming and Yang Jianhui also returned the salute! Lei Dahai introduced Lei Ming and Yang Jianhui to Zhang Zheng and the others!

Zhang Zheng said: "The two benevolent brothers are extraordinary, and our army will definitely be able to defeat the enemy and win!"

Yang Jianhui said: "The two armies will fight, and the soldiers are not many, but the strategy, and the generals will not be many but fine!"

Our army consisted of only 4,000 men, and most of them were infantry. However, the Jin army was 6,000 iron horsemen, well-equipped! The two generals led by him were also strong in martial arts. If our army wants to win, I am afraid that we will need to think long-term!"

Zhang Zheng said: "According to Brother Yang, if our army wants to win, how should we set up the formation!"

Yang Jianhui said: "There is a huge disparity in strength between our army and the other army, and it is not appropriate to set up a battle in a hard way! The main point of using troops is to use the word 'change'! If we can change into general-purpose soldiers, we can win thousands of dollars in four or two and defeat the strong with the weak!"

Although the other army is cavalry, it comes from afar, and it can be said that the end of the strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lu Min. Although our army is infantry, it is waiting for work at ease, and its vigor is flourishing. I expected that the other army would come from afar, and the men and horses would be trapped, and they would set up camp in front of Bianling Mountain for rest, and then they would dare to come to Qingzhou!

Our army can lie in ambush in the valley on the left side of Bianling Mountain, wait for it to set up camp, and launch a surprise attack from the two while the horses are eating, and it will not be easy to win!

Zhang Zheng said: "Brother Yang's plan is wonderful, but what if the Jin army does not set up camp in front of Bianling Mountain!"

Yang Jianhui said: "From the Chaoshui River to the front of Bianling Mountain, there are mountain roads, more than 50 miles. The army came from afar, and after walking more than 50 miles of mountain roads, they must drink horses and eat. And in a radius of more than ten miles around here, only the terrain in front of Bianling Mountain is flat and can garrison troops. If his army does not camp in front of Bianling Mountain to rest, they will have to rest outside the city of Qingzhou. Let me ask if the other army has come from afar, do you dare to come and rest under the city of Qingzhou?"

Lei Dahai said: "What the virtuous nephew said is very true, our army can first lie in ambush in the area of Bianling Mountain, and then launch a surprise attack from both sides while the other army is drinking and eating, this is the only way for our army to win! If not, how can our 4,000 infantry be able to defeat its 6,000 iron cavalry?"

Zhang Zheng said: "How to fight, everything obeys the orders of the old general!"

Lei Dahai then divided his 4,000 sergeants into two teams, one team led by Zhang Zheng, and ambushed the right side of Bianling Mountain. One team was led by himself to lie in ambush on the left side of the Bianling Mountain, and the two teams agreed to attack at the same time with the sound of drums! The distribution had been decided, so the soldiers were ordered to speed up their pace and run forward!

When Zhang Zheng led a team of men and horses into the hinterland of the Bianling Mountain, he looked around, but the grassland in front of the mountain was flat and several miles in radius, which was most suitable for the garrison to rest. Nai thought and said: "That Brother Yang is really proficient in the art of war. If the Jin army really rests here, it will be a natural defeat for the Jin army!" He ordered all his subordinate soldiers to hide in the mountains under the cover of grass and trees, and those who rebelled would be slaughtered! The subordinate soldiers did not dare to move!

After a while, he saw a group of cavalry coming from the valley! The first general was holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, wearing golden chain mail, and sat on a big black horse that was majestic and majestic! Fu turned around and consulted with a general on a white horse beside him, and the second general discussed for a moment. But I saw a group of cavalry begin to scout along the mountain, and that group of cavalry ran back and forth along the Bianling Mountain several times. The general led the team into the air in front of Bianling Mountain to rest, and ordered his subordinates to drink and eat!

More than 6,000 sergeants had just dismounted from their horses and sat down, but the tents had not yet been erected. Suddenly, a drum was heard, and an army of Biao came out of the valley on the left, and an army of Biao came out of the valley on the right. I saw that the two teams of sergeants were all under the banner of Song soldiers, and they rushed over from the two!

The Jin army had just unarmed and sat down, when they suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing, and the people were not as good as the armor, and the horses were not as good as the saddles, and they were in a mess! In the panic, they trampled on each other, and each fled for his life!

The leaders will not be able to stop drinking. Each of them holds a weapon in his hand, flies on his horse and fights separately!

On the left, Lei Dahai held eight spears in his hand, took the lead, and rushed all the way over, as if entering a no-man's land.

Zhang Zheng on the right is leading the troops in front, invincible!

The generals led by the Jin army saw that the corners of the formation were chaotic and the men and horses were running around, so they each held weapons in their hands, flew on their horses, and divided their heads to resist the enemy.

Xiao Guangyuan held a big sword in his hand and went to the sea of enemy thunder. The rest of the people will be killed!

However, he said that Chen Zaisheng was strong in martial arts, that he was invincible in the world with a spear in his hand, that he had killed countless people, that he had made outstanding achievements in the military camp, and that his prestige was extremely high! At this time, the enemy was killed by Zhang Zhengsi, and the two generals fought more than 100 times, and Zhang Zhengli was cowardly. The enemy couldn't resist Chen Zaisheng, so he pulled out his horse and fled, and Chen Zaisheng chased after him.

Seeing that Zhang's political enemy could not stop Chen Zaisheng, the tooth general Tang Ping led the horse to help, and Chen Zaisheng only made a horse together, and was stabbed to death by Chen Zaisheng with a spear. Lei Ming entered the army with a spear in hand, and suddenly saw that Zhang Zheng's enemy was not Chen Zaisheng, and he was worried that Zhang Zheng's life would not be saved, so he also drove forward to help! Zhang Zheng heard that Lei's father and son were strong in martial arts, and when he saw Lei Ming rushing to help, he also turned his horse's head and fought with Chen Zaisheng again. Lei Mingyue stepped forward immediately, so that the gun and Zhang Zheng attacked Chen Zaisheng together!

Chen Zaisheng and Zhang Lei dismantled more than 40 moves, seeing that the strength of a spear in Lei Ming's hand was not under him, and Zhang Zhengzhi's martial arts were not weak, the two of them joined hands to attack, and they would definitely not be able to resist the enemy! Just as they were about to lose, suddenly a Jin army general with a green dragon glaive came to help in the battle and forced Zhang Zheng away.

As soon as Zhang Zheng walked away, Lei Ming fought Chen Zaisheng alone. Chen Zaisheng's pressure suddenly decreased, and he suddenly borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and stabbed Lei Ming in the abdomen with a spear. Lei Ming blocked the gun horizontally, made an eagle fishing with his left hand, and grabbed Chen Zaisheng's spear with the other. With his right hand, he made a meteor to catch the moon, and a shot stabbed Chen Zaisheng in the left shoulder, and Chen Zaisheng also stretched out and grabbed it. The two of them dragged their horses hard at the same time, and they both rolled off the horses and piled them together!

Chen Zaisheng hurriedly pulled his sword out of the sheath, wanting to slash Lei Ming. Lei Ming's eyes were quick, and when he saw Chen Zaisheng draw his sword, he hurriedly took a breath of true qi, used his iron finger magic skill, and cut off Chen Zaisheng's chest with five fingers at the same time. Chen Zaisheng is slow to unsheath because of the long sword. Before the sword was drawn, he only felt that his chest was hit by an extremely strong, extremely fierce true force. The heart and lungs couldn't bear it, screamed, vomited blood in the mouth and died!

However, it was said that Xiao Guangyuan held Fang Tian's halberd to resist the battle against Lei Dahai, and saw that Lei Dahai's beard was gray and his body was covered with a heavy kai, making a spear dance like flying, and no one dared to stop him wherever he went, and he was furious in his heart. Then he stepped forward on horseback, waited until the two horses were close, shouted violently, and stabbed a halberd into the thunder sea.

Lei Dahai gave way sideways, jumped on horseback, and hit Xiao Guangyuan with a spear. Xiao Guangyuan made a painting of Han and blocked the spear of the thunder sea. The two will make this move, but they know that they are chess opponents, and they will meet good talents, and the martial arts of the two are comparable!

The two of them will make more than 30 moves, but they have not seen a victory. Lei Dahai is old, and his strength is not as strong as Xiao Guangyuan. Xiao Guangyuan's hand is the most powerful painting Han, and his moves are fatal! For a while, Lei Dahai could only defend and did not make a move!

Yang Jianhui was beside him, and saw that Lei Dahai was gradually unable to parry. It is to use the seven-star swordsmanship, stabbing a sword to death, and a prancing horse to help.

Xiao Guang saw that Yang Jianhui made a sword coming, so he waved the halberd, swept thousands of troops with one move, and hit Yang Jianhui head-on. Although Yang Jianhui is strong in martial arts, the sword in his hand is short, and he has no advantage in fighting on horseback. Moreover, Xiao Guangyuan's martial arts are also superior, and the power of the halberd is loud. Yang Jianhui didn't dare to block this move, he suddenly jumped up more than two feet high on horseback, and his body turned upside down in the air, with his feet facing up and his sword pointing downward, stabbing at Xiao Guangyuan like a meteor running through the sky.

Lei Dahai also made a move, and the autumn wind shook the shadow and stabbed the spear in his hand towards Xiao Guangyuan. Xiao Guangyuan was attacked up and down, and a painting halberd in his hand couldn't stop it. Nai Fei jumped and opened his feet! The black horse sat down and was stabbed to death by Yang Hui with a sword.

Lei Dahai saw that Xiao Guangyuan's halberd in his hand was too powerful, so he threw the spear and pulled out the cold light sword to fight Xiao Guangyuan.

Although the Cold Light Sword was cut off by Li Pingshan with a purple gold sword in Baima Ridge, it was still two feet long, and Lei Dahai was still reluctant to throw it away, after all, the sword was rare. When he was free in Qingzhou, he found a good swordsmith again, and re-opened the remaining two-foot-long sword body and then produced the blade.

At this time, Xiao Guangyuan saw that Lei Dahai threw away the spear in his hand and returned to fight with a two-foot-long sword, and he was overjoyed in his heart. Secretly thought, "This old thing is dead! The spear is not used, but the short sword is used!" Then he held the halberd in his hand, grabbed it, and went straight to the sea of thunder. As everyone knows, the cold light sword in Lei Dahai's hand is a divine weapon that can cut gold and break jade.

Lei Dahai saw that Xiao Guangyuan made the halberd stab, hurriedly held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and slashed it, only to hear the sound of "Zheng". The painting halberd in Xiao Guangyuan's hand was cut off in an instant.

Xiao Guangyuan saw that the halberd was cut off, and he was shocked, and hurriedly flew back two feet. shouted: "The old thing dares to cut off my Fang Tian painting halberd, I will definitely take your dog's life!" After that, he picked up a steel knife on the ground, stepped forward, and slashed towards the thunder sea.

Lei Dahai blocked the cold light sword, and the big knife in Xiao Guangyuan's hand was cut off by half a section.

Xiao Guangyuan saw that although the big knife in his hand had been cut off, it was still more than a foot long, and the cast iron on the back of the knife was very thick, and he expected that although the sword in Lei Dahai's hand was powerful, he might not be able to cut off the half-section steel knife in his hand! Seeing that the sword in Lei Dahai's hand could no longer cut off the second half of the broadsword in his hand, he was overjoyed in his heart, so he stepped forward to fight with Lei Dahai with confidence. I want to take the life of the thunder sea on the battlefield. Seeing that Yang Jianhui was besieged by three soldiers at this time, he couldn't leave, thinking that the opportunity had come!

The two fought more than 30 moves. Xiao Guangyuan became more and more courageous the more he fought, and his moves took his life. At this time, both of them have short weapons in their hands, but they are close combat!

Although Lei Dahai is old, the sword in his hand is not old, and he has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes. At this time, seeing Xiao Guangyuan's fierce sword technique, he made a move to kill him, intending to take his own life within a few moves! The sword in his right hand deliberately showed a flaw, pretending that he couldn't parry, and retreated step by step!

Xiao Guangyuan saw Lei Dahai retreating step by step, thinking that Lei Dahai was old and weak, and he couldn't parry his own serial knife technique. Then he secretly took a breath of true qi, and poured all his true power into the steel knife, so that he could split Huashan with one move, and slashed head-on to the surface door of the thunder sea. As soon as this move came out, Xiao Guangyuan expected that even if Lei blocked this move with a sword, the ten success power of this move would be enough to shake the sword in Lei Dahai's hand down!

As everyone knows, Lei Dahai was deliberately defeated, just to create an opportunity for him to use the iron finger magic skills handed down by his family.

Lei Dahai saw Xiao Guangyuan suddenly fly up and jump up, slashing into the air with a knife in both hands. Nai sideways dodged the knife, but pushed his right hand forward and pushed it straight towards Xiao Guangyuan's abdomen.

Xiao Guangyuan's body was in the air at this moment, and he had nowhere to borrow strength. Although his martial arts are strong, he still can't avoid the right hand blow of Lei Dahai. I only felt that a huge stream of true qi instantly entered my body, rapidly expanding, and breaking my five internal organs.

It must be known that the Lei family's iron finger magic skill is a unique martial arts fingering method in the Central Plains, which is comparable to the thunderbolt palm of the Qingzhou Yang family's martial arts family. It also enjoys a high reputation in the rivers and lakes. On that day in Tianma Mountain, one of the four King Kongs of the Earth Tiger Gate, the hairy-faced King Kong was hit by Lei Dahai's finger, and he didn't dare to fight with Lei Dahai again, only knowing that he would run away. What's more, at this time, Xiao Guangyuan was hit by the Iron Finger Divine Skill in the abdomen, and there was still a reason to live.

I saw that the moment Xiao Guangyuan was hit by the Iron Finger Divine Skill, his body suddenly flew out of thin air for several feet, first knocking over a war horse, and then knocking out several people before he landed. It can be seen that the power of Lei's Iron Finger Divine Skill, and the power of a full blow is really rare in the rivers and lakes!

After Xiao Guangyuan landed on the ground, he turned his mouth and spit out blood, and when his limbs were stretched out, he died!

When the generals of the Jin Army saw that the two generals led by them were both killed, they immediately took out the bodies of the two generals and ordered the entire line to retreat!

Lei Dahai and Zhang Zhenghui gathered troops and horses to chase and kill the Jin army for dozens of miles. Along the way, corpses were everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed. This battle killed all the Jin soldiers, and only more than 3,000 remnants of the 6,000 men and horses were defeated, and they returned in tatters!

Lei Dahai and Zhang Zheng returned victoriously, and captured more than 3,000 military horses and countless weapons and rations when cleaning the battlefield. The sergeants went as infantrymen, but when they returned they were cavalry!

The inspection made Li Xuan hear the victory ahead, and personally led the generals out of the Xuanwu Gate to greet him!

Lei Zhang and the others led the troops to Xuanwu Gate, and saw that Li Xuan and all the generals were waiting outside Xuanwu Gate, so they rolled the saddle and dismounted, and stepped forward to salute.

Li Xuanqi said to Lei and Zhang: "The victory in this battle and the frustration of the Jin army's spirit are all the merits of the two of you! I should show the imperial court and reward the meritorious soldiers for their meritorious deeds!"

Li Dahu, who joined the army, said: "The two generals are both wise and brave, and they can use 4,000 infantry to break the Jin Army and 6,000 iron cavalry, which is a rare general talent in our Great Song Dynasty! If everyone can follow the example of the two generals, why can't they break the gold!"

When Lei Dahai heard this, he hurriedly pointed at Yang Jianhui and said: "Li joined the army and won the award, and the victory of our army in the first battle this time is all a good plan offered by my nephew." Without the good strategy of my nephew, it would be difficult for our army to win!"

Yang Jianhui hurriedly said: "Lei Shibo has won the award! This time our army was able to win, it is the credit of all our soldiers, I am just familiar with the terrain outside Qingzhou City!"

When Li Xuan heard this, he ordered Zhang Zheng to bring the soldiers back to the camp. Only then did he step forward and say to Yang Jianhui and said: "Gongzi is young, but he can understand the art of war, he is really a rare talent!

Yang Jianhui said: "The next surname is Yang Jianhui!

Li Xuan said: "Young Master Yang and Lei Shi's nephew will go back to the house to rest first, and General Lei and we still have important matters to discuss!"

When Yang Jianhui heard this, he returned to Lei Mansion with Lei Ming. The two walked side by side, chatting along the road, Lei Ming said: "I didn't expect that Brother Jianhui is not only strong in martial arts, but also good at using soldiers. Today's battle on Bianling Mountain really impressed me with my brother!"

Yang Jianhui said: "Brother Lei has won the award. There are many changes in the use of soldiers on the battlefield, and I was only forced by my father to read a few military books when I was young! Today's battle is all about the art of war to the death, and I can't talk about being able to use soldiers well!"

Lei Ming said: "Yang Shibo is a person from the rivers and lakes, one is not an official in the imperial court, and the other is not a general in the army, why do you still force you to read military books?"

Yang Jianhui said: "This matter is a long story, although my father is a person in the rivers and lakes, he has a good martial arts. I have repeatedly wanted to serve the imperial court, but I have no way to serve the country! In the new year, my father went to the Kaifeng Mansion to test the martial arts, and wanted to lead the troops to resist Liao. But seeing the darkness of the court officialdom, it is difficult to display the ambition of serving the country. But despite this, my father still cherished the country and hoped that my two brothers would be able to serve the country in the future, so he ordered me to read more military books for future use!"

Lei Ming said: "What Brother Yang said is very true, our generation of young people should serve the country, but now the six thieves in the court are in charge, and corrupt officials are rampant. All the virtuous ministers were expelled from the court, and the officialdom was dark. Many heroes and heroes have no way to serve the country, the common people are extremely poor, those who sell their children and daughters can be seen everywhere, and those whose families are broken are everywhere. Thieves are rampant, disasters are frequent, and the Jin people have invaded year after year, I don't know how long it will take for the imperial court to restore peace and prosperity!"

Yang Jianhui said: "If the emperor can be a pro-virtuous minister and a far villain, he will definitely be able to rejuvenate the great Song Dynasty! Make the people rich and live and work in peace and contentment! But now the temple is full of traitorous ministers, so that many virtuous ministers have no place to play." It seems that our young people, although they have a desire to serve the country, are only the light of the fire after all, and they can't illuminate the big temple of the imperial court!

All we can do is to emulate General Lu You of the previous dynasty, but with a clear conscience!

I think General Lu was no different from us when he was young, and he was also a man of ambition to serve the country, but in the end, he was exiled to the rivers and lakes by the imperial court!

When future generations read the last two sentences of this poem, 'The king set the day of the Central Plains in the north, and the family sacrifice was not forgotten!'

Lei Ming said: "Brother Yang is high-minded, and the younger brother admires!"

The two chatted while walking, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Lei Mansion!

However, it was said that Li Xuan, Lei Dahai, Li Dahu, Wang Shijie, Deng Min and others would return to the Soldiers and Horses Division. Li Xuanwei said to the generals: "Although our army has suffered a big defeat today and won the first battle of the Jin army, it is just to buy a few more days for our Qingzhou. The Jin army will definitely raise a large group of men and horses to invade Wuqingzhou in less than half a month, and I don't know what good strategies the generals have to defend against the enemy?

Li Dahu, who joined the army, said: "What General Li said is very true, although the Jin army is defeated this time, it will definitely come back again in the next ten days." At that time, there will be not only a few thousand men and horses, but at least tens of thousands! But fortunately, the city walls of Wuqingzhou are strong and the military rations are sufficient.

I will, we can take advantage of the Jin army's arrival to take the opportunity to strengthen the city defense. When the Jin soldiers come to the city, we can defend the city and wait for work, I don't know what you think?"

Zheng Tong, the general of the Yamen, said: "Generals, I think that although the Jin army is powerful, we must not be afraid of the enemy. If we only refuse to defend the city, we will inevitably be laughed at by the Jin army. We can send men and horses to set up an ambush on Bianling Mountain again and attack the Jin army. Let the Jin army be frustrated again in Bianling Mountain!"

Wang Shijie said: "Li joins the army, of course, is reasonable, but the Jin army is powerful and cannot be underestimated. If our army can't defend this Qingzhou City, won't it cause tens of thousands of people in the city to suffer!"

Lei Dahai said: "There are still more than 10,000 men and horses in my Qingzhou City, if you don't go out of the city to fight, but just refuse to defend the city, I estimate that you can defend it for at least two months." If reinforcements arrive from the court within two months, we can withdraw the enemy's troops. If there are no reinforcements from the imperial court after two months, it will be difficult for me to retreat. ”

The tooth general Deng Min said: "It is to defend or to save, but please General Li decide, we will obey the order!"

Li Xuan then said to the generals: "Since we are soldiers defending the city, we should defend the city! How can we retreat without a fight! From now on, organize the people to strengthen the city's defenses to resist the Jin army!"

All the soldiers were ordered to retreat, and each returned to the camp to prepare to resist the enemy!
