The mountain people who were rescued by the Zhongrui Army escaped death, knowing that these Great Song cavalry were here to pick them up, they no longer had any scruples, and came back to rescue the mountain people who had been captured earlier.

Jia Changlu looked at it and gritted his teeth, and said to the people around him: "Tell me to go down, today we will admit it, let these untouchables go to them, let's go back!" ”

The cronies rode back and gave the order, preparing to retreat.

At this moment, the sound of rolling horses' hooves was heard again in the west, accompanied by the smoke and dust in the sky, and I don't know how many people and horses rushed up, covering the sky.

Jia Changlu looked at the flag in the smoke and dust in the distance, and his face changed color: "What's the matter?" Are these Song people crazy today? Why did you come again, is it difficult to still want to fight the state! ”

Sang Yi rushed up from the smoke and dust, and Han Daocheng hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted: "The last general, Han Daocheng, led the loyal Rui army to stand by here, and I have seen the inspection!" ”

Sang Yi nodded and replied: "Raise the military order of the officials, the soldiers of Jiatong are unauthorized to enter the state, invade the border, don't let people go!" Your subordinates, etc., follow me into Langzhou! ”

With that, Timas rushed out of the formation.

Jia Changlu saw a man who looked like an officer rushing up, guessing that it was the chief general of the Song army, hurriedly stepped forward, stopped when he got closer, and shouted: "Who are you?" We are chasing the fugitives under our rule, why are you sending so many soldiers and horses? Do you want to shield these untouchables? ”

Sang Yi didn't stop the horse, and he galloped in front of Jia Changlu.

Jia Changlu didn't know what Sang Yi meant, and watched Sang Yi come to his side in a daze, and pulled out an iron shovel from the horse with his hand. As soon as I realized in my heart, the iron shovel had already hit my head, and as soon as my eyes were black, I got off the horse and sprinkled white and red on the ground.

It was only at this time that the word "kill" in Sang Yi's mouth roared out.

At this time, the handsome flag behind is half-hidden. Pointing straight to the direction of Langzhou, the commanders took their subordinate soldiers and horses, and rolled in the direction of Langzhou with Sang Yi.

The mountain people who had already gathered watched in a daze as the Song army bypassed them and rushed towards the native soldiers from Jiatong like a tide. A wave was blown, and the more than 100 native soldiers were swallowed up. Not even a splash.

At this time, the sun was only half a head on the mountain, reflecting half of the western sky red, and only a few stars in the eastern sky were half-hidden and half-visible.

The little pony hoof lay on the back of Second Uncle Hong, looking at the crowd stupidly, as if rushing into the darkness with the sun on his back, and running unstoppably in the direction of Langzhou. He could never have imagined that his stupid and childish actions would lead the two countries to war.

Sang Yi is a man and a ride, and a wave of the iron shovel is a life. Unstoppable, straight through the army formation of the Armor Native Soldiers. In front of Cao Yang, the military envoy who was guarding the enemy's retreat, the iron armor on his body was already faintly glowing with blood.

Since shouting to kill, Cao Yang has already killed the unlucky ghost under the horse with one shot, came up to catch Sang Yi, and immediately bowed and saluted: "Military envoy Cao Yang, I have seen the inspection, and I am waiting for the inspection order!" ”

Sang Yi said: "Follow me to break through the military village in front of the valley!" ”

It is only 30 miles from Menzhou to Langzhou, from the border of Menzhou. To the military village located at the mouth of the valley in the Langzhou Basin, it is only ten miles away, and it does not wait for the sun to go down. Sang Yi has led people to the village.

Each team of the Song army carried special torches, and their heads were made of linen soaked in kerosene, which were usually covered with a hood and carried on their bodies. At this time, they all lit up and walked through the valley like a fiery dragon.

Jia Changxian, the guard of Jiatong in the military village, stood on the watchtower, looking at the fire dragon rushing towards the village, and secretly complained in his heart. There are usually more than 100 people in this village, and in the afternoon, Jia Changlu took dozens of people out. There are only a few dozen people left in the village, and the Song army from Menzhou has more than 1,000 people just looking at the torches, how to deal with it?

"What to do? Go out and hit a stone with an egg! ”

A pro-soldier beside him said to Jia Chang first, and his face was already pale with fright.

Jia Changxian sighed and said, "You go down and ride my horse, and go back to report that the Song army is coming." I'm afraid that this stockade can't be defended, so let the state prepare early! ”

Although Jia Changxian is also surnamed A, he is not a member of the A family, but he has been a slave of the A family for several generations, so he was given this surname, which cannot be compared with the real A family of Jia Changlu. Looking at the posture of the Song army, Jia Changlu was only afraid that he was already fierce, how could he dare to abandon the village and flee back?

The soldiers listened to the order, and at this time they were eager to get out, hurriedly went down to the watchtower, rode the horse of Jia Changxian, and went to the direction of Jiatong.

When Sang Yi arrived at the front of the village, he saw that the lights on the upper floor of the village were bright, and one of them was surrounded in the middle, thinking that it was the guard here, and shouted loudly: "Which is the main general, come out and speak!" ”

Jia Chang stepped forward first, grabbed the battlement and shouted: "Which official of the Great Song Dynasty is here?" For no reason, how did you bring troops to my village! This is the territory of Jiaozhi, do you want to trigger a war between the two countries? ”

Sang Yi said: "This afternoon, someone in Jiatong led troops into the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, we raised the military order of the officials, and the soldiers and horses came to ask for the crime!" If you have done the Lord, deliver up the Lord's messengers. If you can't be the master, just open the gate obediently, let my soldiers and horses over, and naturally talk to the person in charge, it is not difficult for you! ”

"I have to be valued by our lord, and I am here to guard this important place, how can I let you go in vain? I don't know what you said, I'll ask you when I go back, and I'll call you back tomorrow morning! ”

Sang Yi Lema stepped back a little and shouted, "I'll give you a stick of incense and give me a reply!" If not, I will kill the people in the village, and you don't regret it! ”

When he came, Xu Ping explained clearly that he wanted Sang Yi to level this village. This is to scare Jiatong, and although this kind of small village looks shabby, with Jiatong's manpower and material resources, it will take a few months to build it again, giving Sang Yi time to enter Guangyuan Prefecture.

Although it was Sang Yi who retreated, after stopping, he quietly ordered his subordinates to let a few people quietly hide at the gate with gunpowder, bury the gunpowder, and blow up the gate with just one order.

Although the lights are bright on the walled building, but the bottom of the walled door is pitch black, and the so-called black under the lamp is the place that cannot be illuminated. There are people in the army who specialize in doing this, go around a little farther to find a place without lights, quietly approach the wall, and then go around the root of the wall to the gate of the wall.

There are few soldiers in the military village, and it is good to be able to watch the village on all sides, and there is no one to guard the gate here. The soldier with gunpowder took out the small shovel he had brought with him, dug several pits under the gate of the wooden village, and buried the gunpowder in it.

Sang Yi estimated that after a stick of incense, he saw that the soldiers at the gate had left, and shouted at the walled building: "If the people in the village haven't replied, I will kill them here!" ”

Jia Changxian calmed his face, looked at Song Jun outside the village, and did not speak. Now he is suffering for a moment more, and when the reinforcements from the rear come up, he will be considered meritorious. Although the Song army had a large number of people and couldn't fly, he really didn't believe that he could enter the stockade if he said that he would have to spend an hour or two.

Sang Yi shouted twice, and when he saw that the village no longer replied, he no longer wasted his efforts in vain, and shouted in the direction of the village: "Kill!" The first village will be rewarded! ”

With Sang Yi's voice, I only heard a loud bang at the gate of the village, which shook the ground and shook the mountains, and a puff of black smoke held up the dust. The gate was shattered and the door was wide open.

Jia Chang on the walled tower was shaken from side to side first, and shouted in panic: "What's the matter? ”

The soldier next to him said: "The owner of the village, the Song people don't know what demon method they have used, and the gate of the village is broken!" ”

"Broken? How so? What are we going to do? ”

Jia Changxian's eyes straightened, and he saw the Song army outside the village rushing to the gate of the village, and sat on the ground.

Sang Yi instructed his commanders to pay attention to the movements on the walled floor as to who occupied the village, how to deal with the soldiers in the village, who entered Langzhou directly through the village, and how to act after that.

All the commanders and envoys took orders, and Sang Yi looked up and saw that Jia Changxian on the upper floor of the village was motionless, as if he had lost his soul, and sat there stupidly. This opportunity cannot be missed? Sang Yi casually took off the hard bow he brought, stretched out his bow and set up an arrow, and looked at Jia Changxian, and an arrow hit him in the heart.

There were less than 100 people in the village, and the battle had already subsided with just a cup of tea.

The cavalry of the Song army did not participate in the battle, and directly passed through the village and entered the Langzhou Basin. Only the commander of the Jingjiang army remained in the village, clearing the remnants of the Jiatong soldiers, searching for all kinds of supplies, piling up firewood and grass in important places, and preparing to burn the place when it was withdrawn.

Sang Yi rode through the gate of the village, looked at the mountains on both sides of the village, and said: "This is a dangerous place, but it's a pity that Jiatong is too big and doesn't arrange many people here, otherwise it will take a lot of effort." Speaking of this, I asked the people around me: "When I talked about it before, I called this place the No. 1 village of Tianzi in Langzhou, I don't know what the name of the local people is?" ”

A soldier said: "I asked the mountain people who fled to Menzhou, and they said that it was called Kuma Mountain. ”

"It's apt."

After Sang Yi finished speaking, he lifted the reins of the horse and ran straight to Langzhou in front with the people around him.

The small basin of Langzhou is more than ten miles from north to south, and ten miles from east to west, and Li Qingcheng, the governor of Langzhou, appointed by the Great Song Dynasty, built a walled city in the north, bordering the Great Song Dynasty. Jia Chenggui, the lord of Zhizhou Jiatong appointed by Jiaozhi, built the south side of the city and lived here on the road to the Shenglong Mansion in the capital of Jiaozhi. The two cities are more than five miles apart, separated by the Poor Qi River, which runs through the basin.

Although he is also the lord of a state, Li Qingcheng is just a rootless and bottomless local tyrant, who is completely incomparable with the big clan here Jia Chenggui, in fact, he is just a puppet of the Jia family, as a face to deal with the Great Song Dynasty.

This time, Sang Yi led his troops in, the original intention was just to scare the Jia family, and he had already ordered his soldiers and horses to not be able to meet the Qiqi River, but to surround Li Qingcheng's walled city, so that he could understand that he was still an official of the Great Song Dynasty.

In such a small area, Sang Yi's nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses walked through almost every large village, whistling through the village with torches. In some places, the road passes through the middle of the village, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves almost overturns the houses in the village.

Fortunately, Xu Ping has always emphasized strict discipline with his troops, and the residents of the village here were just frightened, and although there were people who really entered the village to kill people and rob things, there were only a few cases.

Jia Chenggui had dinner and when he got the news that the Song army had entered, Sang Yi had already led his troops to Li Qingcheng's city of Langzhou and surrounded the walled city.

(Note, Jia Chenggui's son should be Jia Shaotai, there is no detailed investigation in the book, and he casually named Jia Jirong.) This shows that it will not be changed in the book. (To be continued.) )
