Instead of deciding to start a war or withdraw at the first time, Nito wanted to see what the opponent was doing before making a decision.

If the opponent is a weak army, then you might as well start a war, give the Song people a dismount, and at the same time let the court in Xingzhou know how powerful they are, and recall the little child of King Chage of Jin as soon as possible.

If it is a strong army, then it can only be slowly retreated. Anyway, if the fighter plane is delayed, it is not himself who loses Hehuang, but Brother Cha, the king of Jin, and he will not be able to ask himself if the Xingqing Mansion court will be held accountable in the future......

After the calculation stopped, Renduo Baozhong took dozens of relatives out of the Ancient Bone Dragon City. After walking far, you can't go any further.

Because a group of knights of the Song army had already formed a formation on the west bank of the Haokang River, which was not too far from the Ancient Bone Dragon City, and they also launched an attack on the soldiers and horses placed by the Wen family on the west bank of the Haokang River!

The cavalry of these Song people was the vanguard sent by Tong Guan and Gao Yu, and half of them were knights of the imperial horse in front of the palace, led by Yang Kebi, about two of them, plus less than six hundred horsemen. The other half is a light cavalry sent by the Qiao family in Lijing City, led by Qiao A, the young master of the Qiao family, who acts as a detective and a hard detective - that is, Qiao Abury, who followed Doroba in front of the Gongzang Ridge and was defeated by Wang Hou.

Now he has realized the truth of the Fan Han family and national unity. Therefore, when Tong Guan and Gao Yu led the army to pass under Lijing City, they took the initiative to sacrifice 50 dragon stallions, 50 pairs of Qingtang Qizi armor and a large number of grain and grass, and personally led 600 warriors who were the most skilled in the clan to accompany the expedition......

Tong Guan personally guaranteed that the Qiao family could live in the city, and promised to give Qiao a burial guarantee an official position.

In short, Qiao Abury is now from Da Song's side! On the way from Lijing City to Ancient Bone Dragon City, the 600 warriors of the Fan family under his command were very dutifully patrolling the front and back of the army to ensure that the marching map was not disturbed by the "one-tenth of the house deed......

However, when he arrived at the west bank of the Haokang River, Yang Kebi did not let Qiao Abury's Fan army contribute, but sent his knights to attack in the capital, and quickly killed the Wen cavalry, which was more numerous than them, with the tactics of charging in array. They also seized the bridgehead of a pontoon bridge, but before they could cross the bridge, the Wen cavalry guarding the east bank set fire to the pontoon bridge, temporarily blocking the Song people's military horses on the west bank of the Haokang River.

And the knights of the Song people did not try to cross the river, but began to harvest human heads with the small axes they carried with them.

After witnessing this short but fierce battle, Rindo Hozhong finally knew how Doropa and Brook Rosa had lost the war - the opponents they had encountered were so strong that they were completely different from the ordinary Song army!

It seems that Brother Cha's little kid is not wrong, the Song people have really produced a king who has done a little bit and trained some real elite soldiers.

The Great White High Country is also going to face a real strong enemy!

After lamenting in his heart, Ren Duo Baozhong wanted to return to the Ancient Bone Dragon City to arrange a retreat.

At this moment, one of the guards beside him suddenly shouted: "Unified army, the Song people's brigade has arrived!" ”

The brigade has arrived?

So fast?

Rinda stood up on his stirrups and looked out toward a mountain pass to the west.

……

The banners of Tong Guan and Gao Yu have slowly appeared near the riverbank. The Song Army knights of the brigade surrounded them, and the expressions of the two of them were full of rigidity and pride.

In front of me is an open river valley, not a wasteland, but planted with barley, golden color, covering the valley, showing a little bit of abundance. A pontoon bridge over the mighty river was spewing smoke and flames, the fire was too big to be saved, and the knights and retinues who had arrived in advance had already dismounted and raised their horses, and had formed a formation ready to storm at any time. The Qiao family's cavalry continued to run across the river beach and barley fields, as if searching for the Wen family's cavalry who had slipped through the net.

On the other side of the Haokang River, in addition to a cottage built on the mountain and a golden barley field, there are dense tents under the city.

The white battle flag of the big white country is flying over the camp, hunting and flying!

The army of Western Xia has not yet withdrawn!

Seeing that the "heads" were still there, the soldiers of the Song Army who followed Gao Yu and Tong Guan to the west bank of the Haokang River all raised their swords and cheered: "Cut off your head and change your house!" ”

Gao Yu and Tong Guan also sighed: It's good that this group of thieves hasn't left! To be able to defeat 20,000 or 30,000 Western thieves is a great merit compared to killing 30,000 or 40,000 captives.

Although the "debt-indebted" Gao Yu only set the value of the head of the thief at twice the level of the head of the Fan. But for the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, the head of a thief is at least equivalent to the head of five thieves!

If you can cut off the heads of 10,000 western thieves by the Haokang River this time, then Gao Yu and Tong Guan will immediately become the generals relied on by the officials!

"Official, how are you going to fight this battle?"

Gao Yu looked at the camp of the Western Xia army on the other side of the Haokang River, and his brows furrowed.

He, a "famous general", actually can't fight. He could only count heads, make records, issue deeds, and make white slips—if he didn't make white slips, he couldn't do it, and the house slaves went crazy, cutting off nearly 20,000 heads and capturing nearly 20,000 prisoners. Now there are more than 1,000 house slaves who have collected "one house deed". So Zhao Ji, who was far away in Kaifeng Mansion, had to take out more state-owned land to build a house!

In addition, the house slaves who have gathered the "one house deed" are now a little unrefreshed. So Gao Yu is still cheering them up during this time: Is the three-bedroom tube building a little smaller? If you have a second child or a third child, you won't be able to live there! Why don't you have a detached "Shikumen". Ten heads is considered the first stage, a good house is lived in first, and the rest can be returned slowly, or cut slowly.

There are many house slaves who were moved by him, but Gao Yu can't completely decide this matter, and Zhao Ji has to make the decision! You must set a higher goal in life for the house slave soldiers!

Either it's a bigger house; Either it is the enrollment index of the primary school to which the Biyong School Palace belongs; Either it's a genuine official position - not only an official, the kind of parallel goods that have no position, but an official who really has some place to go to office to make money!

In short, the house slave soldiers are quietly and even unconsciously evolving to military merit......

"Let's approach the village under the Haokan River first and confront the western thieves." Tong Guan pondered and said, "If the Western Thief abandons the Ancient Bone Dragon City and leaves, we will pursue him!" It is 300 miles away from Renduoquan City, and the right wing army of the Western Thieves is not all light horses, but both foot and horsemen. If the infantry army marches, the 300-mile mountain road will take at least 6 days...... Let's fight with them on the march, and we can exhaust them if we are tired! ”

The strongest part of the Dragon Warrior is not the battlefield, but the march! That's the 4,000 people who can walk the most out of the 500,000 forbidden army! A strong man like Wu Song can't even get into the top 200 in it. You can imagine how strong the marching ability of these people is.

"What if they don't go back?" Gao Yu asked, "Are we going to confront the West Thief like this?" ”

Tong Guan smiled: "Let's eat the Fan people, whose ones do they eat?" How many people are there in the Qiao family of Ancient Bone Dragon City? Can you afford to raise twenty or thirty thousand thieves? Moreover, it is 300 miles away from Renduoquan City, and it is not easy to transport grain! ”

"Good way!" Gao Yu smiled, "It's still a big official, you can use soldiers!" ”

Tong Guan smiled: "There is still a little trouble." ”

"Oh?" Gao Yu looked at Tong Guan.

Tong Guan said: "We don't seem to have started a war with the Western Thief yet!" ”

"Haha," Gao Yu said with a smile, "We still don't know what the official family thinks?" Isn't it a matter of time to go to war? As long as we can make a big victory, are we still afraid that those civil officials will chew their tongues? ”

Tong Guan smiled, and said in his heart that Gao Yu was too proud, forgetting that he was a military attache after all.

If he is a civil official who is called outside the Donghua Gate, he is naturally not afraid of anything, but the identity of this military attaché, a crime of being good at opening up and provoking, I am afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around.

But so much credit is there, and it's a pity to let it go in vain......

Thinking of this, Tong Guan said again: "If the western thief strikes first, let's fight back, it should be no problem." ”

Gao Yu smiled and said: "Okay, the lower officials can save it, and they will arrange it properly." ”

It's not that simple! Those civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty are shrewd! However, Tong Guan, the prison army, is easy to pick himself up, if you really want a black cauldron, let Gao Yu carry it.

……

"Unified army, the Song people have settled on the other side of the Haokan River!"

Renduo Anzhong's voice suddenly sounded in Renduo Baozhong's ears, and Renduo Baozhong glanced back, his clan brother also came out of the Ancient Bone Dragon City at some point.

"yes, they're down!"

Rindo Baozhong turned his head again and looked at the Song army on the other side of the river who were digging trenches and building earthen walls.

The village is a little sloppy, and it is not the style of the Western Army's consistent hard village. However, the armored infantry who were guarding the soldiers of the Song Army who were under construction, as well as the knights who had dismounted, looked murderous!

With Renduo's many years of experience in leading troops, he can see at a glance that those are elite! It is an elite that the Right Wing Army has not seen in the past.

Especially those armor soldiers who are stubborn and stubborn, so that Renduo Baozhong is very jealous, and even surpasses the knights of the Song army.

For these armoured men came on foot, and they arrived with the front and rear feet of the cavalry. That is, they will most likely be able to keep up with the cavalry on the march! That's a prickly one! There are thirteen thousand infantry under his command, and they must not be as fast as them, so what if they follow behind when they withdraw their troops?

In addition, these armor soldiers all carried spears and bows and arrows at their waists, and did not carry the sharpest crossbows in the Song army...... They were most likely an infantry army with no distinction between archers and spearmen.

It seems that this Song army is not simple!

"Commander," said Rinduoan, "their camp doesn't seem to be very strong, why don't you send warriors across the river tonight and take them by surprise?" ”

"Raiding the camp?" Rindo Baozhong frowned, once the camp was robbed, it would be a full-scale war!

It's okay to win, but if he loses, Chage's kid just used this as an excuse to take his position as the commander of the right wing Zhuoluo Supervisor Army and the commander of the army......

"Let's send an envoy first!" Renduo Baozhong thought for a moment and said, "Let's see if we can let the Song army retreat to Nanzong Fort." ”
