North of Xiazhou, on the edge of the Gobi Desert, there is an oasis called Anqingze. The party tribe that lives here has the surname of Po Chao, and it is also one of the eight party departments in the past, and it was also an important partner of the Li tribe of the Dingyan Army in the early years, and it has intermarried from generation to generation. However, after Yuan Hao established the country and became emperor, the Po Chao clan gradually became estranged from the Western Xia royal family, but they did not get involved in the fierce power struggle to wipe out the clan.

To this day, the Pochao clan is still the big clan of the Western Xia Dangxiang people, and there are still many branches scattered in the land between the rivers. One of them is the Pochao Department living in Anqingze, with a total of more than 2,000 accounts, a population of no less than 10,000, and 100,000 cattle, sheep and horses. Among the party departments, it can be regarded as a big tribe.

Now the big leader of An Qingze's super tribe is riding on a horse, taking hundreds of armor soldiers in the tribe, neatly draped, waiting in formation.

Hundreds of armor soldiers are amazing strength! If you have armor, you will be a soldier, and if you don't have armor, you will be a strong man at most. Moreover, these hundreds of armor soldiers are the force of the tribe, and do not include the clansmen who served in the Western Xia army.

This kind of strength can only be possessed by a famous party family with a pure bloodline like An Qingze. Those Qiang tribes in the southern part of the Hengshan region could not take out so many pairs of armor and leather armor in any case.

However, the expressions on the faces of these armorers wearing armor and leather armor, including the big leader quite a super horse beggar, showed a little uneasiness on their faces.

The uneasiness is caused by the Han bandits who have recently wreaked havoc in the Wuding River Valley, although An Qingze is still some distance from the Wuding River, but for the "horse bandits" with two horses and three horses, this distance is nothing?

And An Qingze is quite superb, but he is quite a tribe with oil and water! Although the Quite Chaobu is not a first-class powerful family, it is the heart of the party after all. The children of the clan are officials and generals, and they don't know how many, no matter how bad they are, they can find an errand for the regular soldiers of the garrison.

In addition, although Anqingze is located on the edge of the Gobi, it is an oasis with abundant water and grass, suitable for farming and grazing, and is very rich. And the Pochao Department is the heart of the party, and there is no need to pay any taxes to Xingqing Mansion. Life is very nourishing!

Fortunately, King Chage of Jin has not forgotten that An Qingze still has the hinterland tribe of the party, and sent a full 1,000 cavalry of the garrison!

With these 1,000 iron cavalry plus two or three thousand negative soldiers, An Qingze's super troops can be safed for the time being.

Only temporarily...... If the Song people really seized the entire Wuding River Valley, then the Pochao tribe would have no choice but to leave their homeland and migrate.

But where can you go? The land of abundant water and grass in the Great White High Country already has a lord......

Thinking about the move in his mind, the rather super horse beggar who had asked Lerma to wait there for reinforcements just let out a long breath and waved his horsewhip in the air in annoyance. The ears of a good horse in the Western Regions with four hooves and snow in his crotch were erected, and a neighing sound was generally made by reflex.

Seeing that the leader was worried, one of Ma Qi's henchmen, a man named Po Chao Rongzhong, gently led the horse to Ma Qi's side without saying a word.

"Great Chief, have you heard about the westward migration?"

"Moving west?" Quite Chao Ma begged for a moment, "Where to move?" ”

"The Western Regions!" Po Chao Rongzhong said, "Isn't that kid an errand boy in the sixth class?" He was well-informed, and wrote a letter a few days ago that the Wuchu sent Shangshu to order An Hui out of the town of Xiping Army, and also sent Li Liangchen, a descendant of the Li family in Khotan, to visit Gaochang. ”

Pochao Ma beggar glanced at his clan brother, sighed and said: "If you really want to go west, we are afraid that there will be nine deaths and one survival." The Celestial Sect in the west is said to be very powerful, and the combined forces of Khotan, Gaochang, and Guiyi can't defeat them...... Jingzong was as martial as a god, and he did not dare to send troops to help Khotan restore the country. ”

It turned out that the Khotanese royal family took refuge in the Guiyi Army after the death of the country, and later attached itself to the Western Xia, and also proposed to Xia Jingzong Yuanhao to borrow troops to restore the country. But Yuan Haozhi is not in the West, so he doesn't care about others.

But now Qianshun looked at the Great Song Dynasty in the east, and thought that he might not be able to defeat the Song Kingdom, so he was planning for the worst. On the one hand, he let his henchmen take charge of the Xiping Military Division, hoarded supplies in Dunhuang, renovated the palace, and found the descendants of the Khotanese royal family to visit the Uighurs in Gaochang to establish a westward alliance......

When the two were talking, a large white flag finally appeared on the horizon, with two big black characters embroidered on it, which was the party surname "Xiangli", and there were some strange patterns. At the same time, there were seven or eight large flags, hunting and rolling, and then there was a jumping horse, reflecting the sun, making people shudder.

"That's not right!" Po Chao Rongzhong frowned at this time and said, "This is the banner of the Left Wing Army commanding to Lirong." ”

"That's right, it's Xiang Lirong." Po Chao Ma begged, "He was ordered by the King of Jin to lead the elite of the Left Wing Army to help." ”

"There is such an elite in the Left Wing Army?" Po Chao Rongzhong shook his head, "That's all a horseman......"

Quite a super horse beggar also felt that something was wrong. How could the Left Wing Army have such a spirited cavalry?

"There is fraud!" Po Chao Ma beggar shouted, "Prepare for war!" Prepare for battle! ”

The hundreds of armorers standing behind him didn't react at once, and after a while, they took off their bows and arrows one after another, and scattered their formations.

The cavalry on the opposite side also spread out in formation, slowly approaching, and turned into an arc in the process of marching, as if to surround the cavalry of the quite superlative family!

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Po Chao Ma Qi was about to order a retreat, when someone on the opposite side suddenly shouted in party language.

"All the commanders of the army, holding the hammer of the Shang Fang order, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has arrived!"

What the? King Chage of Jin is here?

Po Chao Ma Qi and Po Chao Rongzhong were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and had no idea.

Brother Cha is here under the banner of going to Lirong? Why is that?

The people over there shouted again: "Where is the beggar of the horse?" Someone accused you of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and the king of Jin came to ask for the guilt! ”

Traitorous? Quite a super horse begging heart said: Who buys it? Besides, I don't have a country, just a tribe......

"Woo ......"

Just when the horsemen and his soldiers were distraught, the dull sound of the military horn suddenly remembered.

And then there was the sound of horses' hooves getting faster and faster! The cavalry led by the "King of Jin" actually launched an attack! And from the left and right sides of the super family armorers, they launched a round of impact like a wall!

This kind of fighting, of course, is not the garrison of Western Xia and the Iron Harrier, but the royal horse in front of the palace commanded by Murong Parrot and Wanyan Xianye.

Because Murong Parrot led the knights to chase down the past Lirong and captured his banner, he also knew some of the passwords of the Left Wing Army through the captives. In addition, Murong Parrot, Wanyan Xian and Wu Tiansuo's subordinates also grabbed a lot of the armor of the Western Xia Left Xiang Army, so they had the current trick - pretending to be the Western Xia Army to deceive the scouts placed outside An Qingze by the Po Chao family, and also tricking the armor soldiers of the Po Chao family out to greet them.

I heard that the big leader of his family betrayed the country, and it was the "King of Jin" who came to ask for the guilt, and the "honest robbers" of the Pochao family were completely at a loss. They are all good robbers who finally love His Majesty in the Great White High Kingdom! If the big leader really wants to betray the country and vote for the Song, they will not agree......

is such a trance kung fu, An Qingze's tragic fate is doomed!

With Wu Haogu's fake knight and Wanyan Xianye's daughter Zhen Dangda as the vanguard, rows of armored horsemen holding long armoured horses launched for the first time, and swept in with a bang. Even tens of thousands of light horsemen can't resist the impact of these thousand heavy horses, but they are quite beyond the subordinates of horse beggars, but hundreds of armor soldiers, and they are still flustered and at a loss, and they really don't even have the ability to resist half a point!

An Qingze was quite superb, and was easily broken by the "Great Song Dynasty bandits".

Massacres and looting, then began......

……

Wang Ze, the son of the old military strategist Wang En, was leading more than 500 completely lightly armed warriors at this time to lurk under the loess plateau where the stone fort was located.

The location of the stone fortress is close to Yinzhou City, and it is one of the few remaining fortresses controlled by Western Xia at the northern foot of Hengshan.

Like most of the forts located in the Hengshan Mountains, the stone fort also made full use of the topography of the loess plateau, and built the fortress at the flat bottom of the loess plateau. The loess plateau here is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and only one is a gentle slope. Therefore, it can be regarded as a natural risk!

However, natural hazards are not invulnerable, because there is usually no water source on the loess plateau. It was too troublesome to carry water up the mountain every day from the loess plateau, so the thieves stationed here built a reel on the edge of a cliff that could hang buckets up, and dug a water cellar in the stone castle to store fresh water in case of a long-term siege.

And the young general of Western Xia, who guarded this hanging water, was bought by Wang En with a lot of gold - thousands of catties of copper, but in fact there is not much!

Tonight, he will take advantage of the opportunity of his inspection to put the rope wrapped around the wheel under the loess plateau, and he will also open a small door that is usually used to carry water...... When the Song army attacked, he could take the copper money to live in the prosperous and wealthy Yan'an.

Well, Kaifeng Mansion is unimaginable. For a bitter man who has been a soldier in Western Xia for half his life, and has never even been to Lingzhou and Xingqing Mansion, it is already the greatest happiness to be able to go to Yan'an in the Song Kingdom with thousands of catties of copper.

"Lord, look at the bucket above, the bucket is down!"

Not long after the sky darkened, a huge bucket slowly fell in front of Wang Ze, and the rope tied to the bucket was as thick as a child's arm, which looked very strong and reliable.

"That's it!" Wang Ze laughed, "Who goes up first?" ”

The first to go up is the one who explores the way, either by being stabbed or by the head!

"Little bottom wishes!"

Just when everyone hesitated a little, the soldier named Zhang Jun, who was less than twenty years old with a big flat head, had already rolled up his sleeves, took off his boots, and put the back of the knife in his mouth and prepared to climb.

"Good!" Wang Ze waved his hand, "Come on, if everything is fine, pull the rope three times." ”
