A camp is rising from the bottom of the mountain.

More than 1,000 people marching with the army were setting up camp for the army at the foot of the hillside. The sound of their trumpets came from the city to the ears of Orishi.

The men dug moats and surrounded the preset camp for miles in circumference. The winding wall extends along the river to the hillside, there is water available, there is danger to rely on, and the road is easy to walk, which is the most basic condition for establishing the village.

Zhe Keshi's bloodshot eyes were open, and the sleepless days made him look a little haggard

Twelve miles away, the city of Toyosu is at a very far distance that can barely be reached by the line of sight. At that distance, the green peaks and the earthy yellow walls of the castle were blurred in shape and color.

It's not that he doesn't want to camp in a closer place, but the grass and trees near Fengzhou City have been cleared by the party members, and if you want to set up a camp close to Fengzhou City, you will need to spend more manpower and time to cut down and transport wood, and the time to build the camp will be very long, and the natural danger will increase exponentially, and you can only follow the power.

However, now it is the main camp that has been set up, and when it comes to the siege, it will be necessary to set up a closer siege camp in the place of a mile or two below the city of Toyoshu. When the time comes, things will be very troublesome. Zhi Keshi squinted his eyes and looked at the mountains and forests on the left and right, it seemed that he could only wait to control the mountains around Fengzhou City, and with the help of the water potential, he put wood down from the mountains further upstream, and floated to the place where he camped.

It's just not that simple.

"There were already two days ago, and today I don't know if there will be a third time." Zhe Keshi is talking to himself.

However, his words sounded in Li Tiejiao's ears, as if he was talking to himself, and he responded: "As long as the wolf cub eats someone, the people below will stare at the person to bite." There will definitely be. ”

"It should still be the means of that Khitan cavalry." Li Tiejiao gritted his teeth and continued, one of his nephews died in the first failed escort process, "If it is a western thief, you can shoot it away with a divine arm bow." ”

"Probably they're the ones." Zhe Keshi has a deep understanding of the party members, and if he can seize the opportunity of the surprise attack at once, and burn all the grain without hesitation, he will only be a team that does not worry about food and drink, and presumably the party people dare not let their reinforcements from the north go hungry.

This was an attack on the grain routes of the officers and soldiers. Since the main force of the official army was still marching under the city of Fengzhou, there was not much time left on the road for the enemy to raid, although the official army had not yet fully controlled the entire road and had been attacked many times in the past two days, but only the western thieves had succeeded twice, and there was no problem for the time being.

"Shiro, you can't let Liao Gou run rampant in the back anymore." Li Tiejiao's face was full of worry, "When Taiwei Guo leads the Chinese army to the city of Fengzhou, with only the garrison of the walled forts along the way, the back road will probably be more dangerous." ”

"The initial strategy was to attack Fengzhou with half the force—that is, 30,000 soldiers and horses—while the rest of the army was to disperse, guard the grain road, divide the towns into forts along the way, and monitor the dangerous places near the road. If everything really goes well, don't worry too much about it afterwards. "It's just that we can't just think about the grain road, maybe it will be our turn today." ”

He looked back at Li Tiejiao, "It will take at least two days for the Chinese army to arrive here." The barracks must be quickened, and must be built before nightfall to-day. ”

"As long as the camp is repaired, with 5,000 soldiers and horses here, even if the thief army from Fengzhou comes, it will still be able to hold it." The formation led by Guo Kui has just entered the territory of Fengzhou, but there are as many as 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Song army under the city of Fengzhou, Li Tiejiao is very confident, "If the Khitans really dare to come, they will kill them." ”

Zhi Keshi smiled, and then looked at the construction site of the camp that was in full swing, and felt a burst of regret in his heart, "It's a pity that the people who stayed in Fengzhou have been killed, otherwise a group of people will be transferred on the spot, and the construction will be able to see you sooner." ”

"There are still people there, not even a single livestock can be seen." Li Tiejiao shook his head, he had been to Fengzhou I don't know how many times, and the current Fengzhou was not far from his past memory. After the fall of Toyosu, for a year, the people here fled to death. Originally, they were going to exchange Fengzhou for Luowu City, but the Xixia people had no intention of governing and pacifying, and under the looting and killing, there were not many ordinary people in the boundaries of Fengzhou.

Li Tiejiao's teeth clenched, "The western thief of the Japanese bird is taken back, and Fengzhou is also abolished." ”

Zhi Keshi pursed his thin lips tightly, and his eyes were cold. This was originally the territory of the folded family, and if it wasn't for the fall of the old Fengzhou, it wouldn't have been divided. Many of the people here are related to Fuzhou, for example, many of Li Tiejiao's relatives live in Fengzhou. After the party occupied, a third escaped, and the rest were all gone.

Back in the camp under construction, a tabernacle belonging to the fold has been erected in a corner of the camp. Walking into the tent, after a while, the subordinate generals and commanders gathered in front of him one by one.

Zhi Keshi was about to instruct his generals to be on guard tonight, when he heard someone riding a horse straight to his camp. The sound of hooves stopped at the tent door, and then a man rushed near.

"Seed ...... "......The person who rushed in was a child of the Zhe family, and he forgot the etiquette in his eagerness, so he shouted in the tent, "The day before yesterday, he led the Yan army on the side of the Jialu River, broke 20,000 thieves, and beheaded countless people. ”

There was an uproar in the tent, no one could not be surprised, why did the Yan Yan army come here to Hedong?

'Jia Luchuan ......' Zhi Keshi put this news in his head and understood, "I didn't expect to pick up a big bargain for the seeds!" ’

The other people in the tent were still thinking about it, so Zhi Keshi raised his eyes and glared at his clan brothers, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Can you speak, haven't you learned the rules!" ”

After being stunned, the messenger knew the rules of the Dao, and said respectfully: "The fourth general of Qiqi." The day before yesterday, the commander of the city of Luo Wu sent the lord of the city of Luowu Wang Du to patrol the army to the east of the river, inducing the western thieves to mistakenly think that they intended to support the Lin Mansion, so they rushed to chase from the Shenyong Military Division, and the last was a big battle on the side of the Jialu River. ”

Zhi Keshi glared at him again, 'fierce battle in front' and 'chasing behind', this kid was simply reciting the good news that he proudly spread to the surrounding military states: "The words '20,000 thieves in the west' should be boasting." How many soldiers are there in the Divine Warriors? It's impossible to go out of the nest! He sighed, "But the Divine Warrior Army is defeated, and this matter cannot be fake." They fell into the calculations of the lieutenant, and the casualties would not be small. ”

Zhi Keshi glanced at the generals and colonels who gradually woke up in the tent, "The Divine Brave Army Division suffered a fiasco, and one way for the Western Thieves' garrison in Yinzhou Xiazhou is to attack Luowu City directly, and try to annihilate the officers and troops who rushed back from Jialuchuan, which is a strategy to turn defeat into victory." But in a kind of way...... The wisdom of the Taiwei will not leave this flaw, and it is very likely that he will take the opportunity to take another bite. If they didn't plan to adopt the strategy of attacking Luowu City, the western thieves of Yinxia could only try to divide their troops to support the defense of the Divine Warrior Division...... What will Yan Yanjun do next, you should be able to imagine. ”

"Captain Tan wants to fight Yinxia?!"

"Isn't that a matter of course? With the temper of Taiwei, will he be willing to watch Taiwei Guo make contributions in Fengzhou? Zhe Keshi asked, and all the generals shook their heads together. What kind of character is the seed, everyone knows the way. His bad relationship with Guo Kui is not a secret in the army.

"And the garrison of Yinxia has no friendship with several major clans of the Divine Brave Military Division," Zhi Keshi continued to infer his reasoning, "It is very unlikely that they will fight for them." Therefore, it is unlikely that he will take the risk of attacking Luo Wu City, but instead divide a part of the soldiers and horses to guard the Divine Brave Army, and several sides can be explained. ”

"So what are we going to do?" No one is willing to work their own, but let the seed farmer pick up the bargain next to him.

"Of course, I took this opportunity to publicize it and shake the morale of the party members, so as to break through the city and defeat the enemy as soon as possible."

"That's right!" A familiar voice came from outside the tent, and when Zhi Keshi raised his eyes, a more familiar figure was lifting the curtain and approaching the tent.

"Father, why are you here!?"

Seeing his father fold the curtain and enter the tent, Zhe Keshi was taken aback. Even if he ordered the guards outside not to report, he should have heard the sound of soldiers and horses entering the camp.

Zhi Kexing seemed to guess what his son was surprised about, walked into the tent, and naturally sat on the main seat.

"I met the Khitan army on the way, fought for a while, and ran away for them. Hurt some people, walk slowly and drag behind. "Zhi Kexinghun didn't take the dangerous act of leaving the brigade and rushing to the front line with a dozen personal soldiers," but after catching a live mouth and cutting off a few fingers, he admitted that he was from the leather room army of Xijing Road, and he gave him a good time. ”

Although it was speculated that the cavalry with such a power must be from the most elite team of the Liao State, when they heard Zhi Kexing's personal confirmation, the generals in the tent still changed color.

"Liaogou is helping the party." Li Tiejiao said ruthlessly, "Grab a few live mouths and escort them to the north, and see if the emperor and prime ministers of Liaogou recognize it." ”

'It's useless. Zhi Keshi shook his head in his heart. Even if their identities are confirmed, Kaifeng will not dare to break it, otherwise there will be a big mess in the officialdom, Shilin, and the people. The only thing that can be done is to behead them all as party members to calculate the credit, anyway, since the north let them use the banner of Western Xia, of course, they don't dare to admit their identity, "This team of Khitan cavalry must deal with them as soon as possible." If the Xijing Road Leather Room Army mistakenly thinks that we are easy to bully and sends more people, things will not be easy. ”

"There are ways to do it, but it requires someone to take a little risk." A pair of eagle-like sharp eyes stared at his son.

"Child......" folded Keshi's voice for a moment, and changed his words and clenched his fists: "The end will be wished!" "Brave and angry.

"Be careful." In the eyes of his boss looking at his subordinates, there was more warmth from father and son: "Be careful......"
