The beacon is undoubtedly an important warning sign, if there are Xixia soldiers who escape by chance, then the beacon along the way will inevitably light the warning, but the Song army pulled out the last beacon, and the beacon of the village still has no movement, which means that the defenders of the village have not yet found that the Song army has quietly approached.

After pulling out the last beacon of Camel Ridge, the Song army did not immediately descend the mountain, it was still dusk, and the vision of the sentry in the village could still be seen more than ten miles away.

It wasn't until night fell quietly that Yan Qing gave the order to set off, and eight hundred Song soldiers descended from Camel Ridge, passed through more than ten miles of wasteland and wilderness, and walked briskly towards Ta Cutting Village.

Treading and cutting the village and the reward of the transfer mouth are slightly similar, are from a slope slowly up the mountain, but the trespass village is much larger, built by the mountain, excavated hundreds of caves, there are two official roads, one passes through the cottage, the other goes around the cottage, but no matter which one, it is strangled by the treclung village, and can not bypass the tression village.

In addition, unlike the Reward Transfer, there is a tax office at the foot of the mountain, which is responsible for inspecting and collecting taxes from merchants in peacetime, but in wartime, this tax office has become a front post to give early warning to the village on the mountain.

Although the Song army could kill the beacon on the Camel Ridge, the tax office at the foot of the mountain could not be avoided, and the risk of sneaking up on the tax office was too great, and it was likely to startle the snake, so the Song army used the method of Qiao pretending to be the Western Xia army.

The scouts carried hundreds of donkeys to the north this time, responsible for the supply of the soldiers, and captured more than 20 camels from the Xiangyikou village, at this time the donkeys and camels changed roles, carrying hundreds of large and small boxes mixed in the team, just like a team escorting this convoy carrying goods.

In order to reduce the doubts of the Western Xia army, Zhang Shun led 500 soldiers to hide one mile away, and the night was the best cover, and no movement could be seen one mile away.

When the 300 people escorted the donkey team to a hundred steps away from the tax office, the hunting dogs raised in the tax office barked wildly, along with the hunting dogs on the mountain also shouted, the Song army has already learned a lesson, don't look at the Western Xia soldiers, the defense is lax, but the hunting dogs they raise are dedicated.

"Who is it?" Someone shouted in the distance.

After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, in order to simplify the military system, the army fully implemented the general system, and implemented the six-level military system of fire, team, battalion, general, army, and army, respectively, and set up fire commanders, escort teams, generals, commanders, commanders, and all commanders as army leaders at all levels.

This general's surname is Wang, a businessman, who has followed his father all the year round between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, and can speak fluent party language. ”

Perhaps because there was no warning from the Fengsui at the Reward Pass and along the way, the soldiers of the tax office did not suspect it, and shouted for a moment: "Please come forward and talk!" ”

Yan Qing has waved his hand, three hundred soldiers escorted camels and donkeys to step forward, the tax office was built next to the entrance of the mountain road, it is a very small military fort, about two zhang high, there are more than 100 people in the military fort, a circle of torches is inserted on the wall of the military fort, and the surrounding dozens of zhang are illuminated as daylight, and there is a leader who is looking down at the head of the city.

When the leader saw the camel and donkey procession, carrying large and small boxes, which were the personal belongings of the King of Jin, he did not dare to slack off, and asked, "What evidence do you have?" ”

General Wang raised a gold medal and scolded: "Blind your dog's eyes, this is the gold medal of King Jin, do you recognize it?" ”

The leader can't afford to offend, anyway, there is a check above, there is no need to anger the other party, he hurriedly laughed and said: "The villain is just a routine, please go up the mountain!" ”

Yan Qing made a look, and three hundred soldiers escorted the camel and donkey team up the mountain road, winding towards the mountain.

Looking at the large and small boxes in the team, the leader secretly guessed that these boxes must contain treasures plundered by the King of Jin from the Song Dynasty.

Of course, the leader guessed wrong, the box was only filled with some stones, and only the box of a dozen donkeys in front of him contained a dozen earth-shattering thunderbolts.

At this time, a soldier on the military fort whispered to the leader: "What a big shelf! ”

"Shut up!"

The leader glared at him fiercely, "We can't afford to provoke these people, let the things that offend people be done above, shoot rockets quickly!" ”

A gunpowder arrow shot into the air from the tax office bunker, and in the air 'boom!' The ground exploded, releasing a ball of red fireworks, which was to tell the cottage that a team had gone up the mountain.

At the same time, it is also to tell the cottage that it is not the enemy who comes.

Ta cut village and reward the port both belong to the jurisdiction of the Weizhou Jingsai army, the highest military leaders are generals, but the importance of the village is more than the reward of the mouth, in addition to the main and deputy generals, there is also a tea and horse supervisor.

The gunpowder arrows at the foot of the mountain have already alarmed the cottage, and the duty is a general, who is equivalent to the battalion general of the Song army, and the general's boss is a general, and he is also the highest military commander of the village, of course, before the importance of the matter is clear, the general will not easily alarm the boss.

General Zuo stood in front of the cottage gate and looked at the mountain road, and after a short time, he heard the crisp camel bell, only to see more than 100 camels and more than 100 donkeys coming slowly, Yan Qing hid his strength again, and hid two hundred soldiers on the mountain road a hundred steps away, and only one hundred soldiers approached the gate of the village.

"Who are you?" Shogun asked in a loud voice.

"We are the subordinates of the King of Jin, and we will send some of the personal belongings of the King of Jin back to the capital!" Wang will explain again.

The generals on the tower of the city are obviously not as easy to be fooled as the head of the tax office, and the guards of the King of Jin will not wear leather armor, at least they are all copper armor and copper helmets, and the armor of this army in front of him is actually the same as the soldiers in the village, which is a bit unreasonable.

If there is a problem with this army, then how can there be no alarm coming from the reward port, which is obviously not in line with the cleanup, and the ambivalence makes Zuo General a little undecided.

Seeing that the above general hesitated, Wang General raised the gold medal again, "This is the gold medal of King Jin, please open the door quickly!" ”

General Zuo had to apologize and said: "Please understand, to open the south gate of the walled wall, you must get the permission of the general, I will go to report, please wait for a while!" ”

General Zuo was afraid that the soldiers would not be able to tell the suspicious points, so he personally ran to the village, at this time, Yan Qing made a look, a soldier stabbed one of the camels, the camel neighed, opened his legs and ran to the mountain road next to him, the soldier shouted: "The camel is frightened!" ”

The neighing of the camels and the great movement of the running immediately attracted the soldiers from the top of the city, and at the same time, from the other side, two soldiers quickly ran to the bottom of the gate, and stood close to the gate, where it was dark under the lamp, hunting by fire above, and pitch black directly below.

The two soldiers moved quickly, pulled out a fire fold from the fire folding cylinder on their waists, shook it casually, and suddenly caught fire.

"What's going on down there?" Suddenly, a soldier spotted the fire below.

The soldier lit the short arquebus that shook the sky, turned and ran, the arquebus was set in a very short time, only enough for the soldier to run fifty paces away, but it was enough, and thirty paces away was the hillside.

Yan Qing and the soldiers were on the edge of the mountain road thirty steps away, they all prostrate on the ground, tightly covering their ears, covering their heads and bodies with shields, only for a moment, only to hear an earth-shattering explosion, dusty flying, covering the sky and the sun, and a puff of black smoke rose into the air.

Clods of earth and sawdust crackled and fell like raindrops, camels and donkeys were frightened and rushed down the mountain, Yan Qing slowly raised his head, only to see that the gate of the village had disappeared, and the ground was full of scattered wood and soldiers lying in pools of blood.

Yan Qing jumped up and yelled: "Kill-"

Hundreds of soldiers went to the gate of the village one after another, and the explosion was the signal, and the two hundred soldiers hiding on the mountain road and the Zhang Shun army at the foot of the mountain all went to the village to kill.

The Western Xia soldiers in the village were also alarmed, rushed out of the cave, gathered on the mountain road, and killed the gate below, and a bloody battle broke out in the village......

At the same time, the beacons on the Ta Cutting Ridge were ignited, and the beacons in the north also ignited flames, extending to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia in the north.
