Chapter 170: To save people, encounter a strong enemy

The wheel of history is dominated by countless ruts, driving its driving direction, once a rut begins to change direction, it will inevitably produce a cascading effect that leads to the deviation of different original trajectories of history, and even a large turn.

Liu Xing's appearance as an outsider, if not in such a troubled era, is not the greatest possibility, but also to change the trajectory of his life and a small part of his life in the course of history.

However, this is a troubled era, but Liu Xing was driven to Taiyuan by the order of the teacher, and was completely involved in this rolling wheel, which became a key point destined to make the historical trajectory completely turn.

War, like the wheel of history, will always be full of variables and suspense, and it will never always create favorable conditions for a single aspect.

Just when Liu Xing led his troops to prepare to attack the Jin soldiers again and capture the second emperor, suddenly an urgent report was sent to Liu Xing by a pigeon. It was news from the southeast of Zhending Mansion and the two roads of Hebei to solicit envoys from Zhang.

It turned out that Liu Xing took the lead in setting up an ambush in Shiyi Town, opening the second day of this unpredictable battle for the emperor. Wanyan Yanmu, the general of the Jin State in Dengzhou, Jingdong, Pu Jianu, who was storming Qizhou, and Wanyan Hulu, the famous general of the Jin State who was attacking Yunzhou, received urgent requests for help from Tart Lazy and Zongwang at the same time.

The three of Yanmu, Pu Jianu, and Hulu are all Zongwang's uncles, and they are also comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side many times when they followed Ah Gu to open the foundation of the Chuangjin Kingdom.

As soon as they received Zong Wang's letter for help, the three of them barely thought about it, and immediately ordered their three men to give up attacking the city they were about to take, and turn around and return north.

The three-way army, 150,000 Jurchens, 150,000 Han'er soldiers and other soldiers and horses of various ethnic groups, these 300,000 troops joined forces in Wucheng, and immediately launched a surprise attack behind the Zhang Suo army with elite cavalry.

Zhang Suo's command seems to have a large number of people, but although those "daring soldiers" are not afraid of death, they are not afraid of the enemy in battle. However, the brave soldiers, who were mostly infantry troops, were still killed by the cavalry of the Jin Soldiers Third Route Army in just one day, losing nearly 50,000 people.

In addition, the three of Yanmu, Pu Jiannu and Hulu are themselves demon-level masters of the Demon Dao, and there are more than sixty demon-level masters among their subordinates.

With Zhang Suo's daring warriors, there were only a few generals at the level of Dao Fa Divine Realm and Martial Dao Martial Sect, but as soon as the battle started the next day, they lost seven generals and more than 30,000 soldiers killed in battle, and they couldn't return to the golden soldiers in Jingdong, which was fierce and vicious.

Faced with the situation that the enemy was strong and I was weak, Zhang Suo was very reluctant but had no choice to temporarily avoid the enemy's edge, fled south in a hurry with the remaining more than 80,000 soldiers, and hid in the Daimyo's Mansion to block the Jin Army's return Jingdong Third Route Army with the city.

However, what Zhang Suo did not expect was that he led his troops to flee into the Daimyo's mansion. The three of Yanmu, Pu Jianu, and Hulu led their troops to stop the pursuit, turned around and hurried in the direction of Jizhou.

Finding out the enemy's situation, Zhang Suo was even more anxious. Because his son, Zhang Xian, who led 5,000 troops as a vanguard, had already sent a message to him when he was attacked by the Jin army for two days, and Yu Ming had captured the ancient city of Zhaozhou.

With only 5,000 men under his command, and in the face of 300,000 wolf-like Jin soldiers, Zhang did not dare to imagine how the already dilapidated city walls of Zhaozhou could help his parents and sons to stop the enemy army twenty times stronger.

In a hurry, Zhang Suo could only choose to send a letter for help, hoping that Zong Ze, Han Shizhong and Liu Xing would lead their troops to Zhaozhou to rescue Zhang Xian and the soldiers of the 5,000 vanguard army......

After reading this letter asking for help, Liu Xing's heart was also speculating: Zhang Xian, if the young master comes to this troubled world in the future, he will be a cadre under Yue Fei. In the past, in later generations, whether it was in the commentaries or historical materials, the evaluation of him was very high.

Such a rare general, is the master going to save him? If you go, then who will contain these golden soldiers in Shiyi Town? If no one restrains the two evil wolves, Zong Han and Zong Wang, they will get a chance to breathe, and Xiao Ye's desire to win the second emperor will only become an unattainable dream.

But if Zhang Xian is not saved, not to mention the good generals who have lost a member of the Han people who are both wise and brave, it will inevitably be morally true in the future, and let people say that the master is a "selfish person who does not save him when he sees death". In that case, there will inevitably be endless follow-up troubles......

"Marshal, are you thinking about whether to save Zhang Xian, right?"

Just as Liu Xing was frowning and thinking hard, Yue Fei walked to his side and woke Liu Xing up from his deep thought with his words.

When Liu Xingyi turned his head to look at him, Yue Fei said: "Although the golden dog is prosperous, if you want to reach Zhaozhou, you must at least cross the North Yellow River and the Hulu River. In the present situation, there would not have been many boats and boatmen left at the crossing of that river. If Jin Bing wanted to cross the river, he had to build his own boat or take a pontoon bridge to cross the river. However, whether it is building a ship or building a pontoon bridge, it is by no means a matter of one or two days. In other words, it will be difficult for the Jin soldiers to cross the two rivers and reach Zhaozhou in at least three days. ”

Hearing his words, Liu Xing nodded slightly and said, "Yes, but our army only has 2,000 people." If they divide their troops to rescue Zhang Xian, Mu Han and Zhu Li may not necessarily fight back, and continue to escort the second emperor north after getting rid of the entanglement of our army. Wouldn't that save Zhang Xian, but lose the second emperor and lose the big because of the small? ”

Shaking his head slightly, Yue Fei said: "The number of our army is indeed not enough to rescue Zhang Xian, and to continue to block Sticky Han and Jie Li from going north. But how can the marshal have forgotten that the sparrow tactics you used to make our army use before, even when our army is small, can constantly create problems for the Jin army, so that even if it goes north, it can only march in panic, and the speed will definitely not be fast. ”

After a pause in his words, a smile appeared on Yue Fei's face: "Our army marches fast on both feet, it is not difficult to travel a hundred miles a day on this plain, and it will not be too troubled and entangled by the swamp." If you go to Zhaozhou, you can return in two days at most. When the time comes, the pursuit of Sticky Han and the separation will not be separated, and there will be more Zhang Xian and 5,000 people under his command. Marshal, are you still afraid that you won't be able to save the second emperor? ”

Hearing this, Liu Xing had an epiphany in his heart: Yes! The master brought these people are all brothers who practice non-stop ten miles every day on weekdays. Many of them ran on their feet alone, and many times in previous battles had made the cavalry of the Jin army marvel at their agility and speed.

There are a lot of swamps and saline-alkali lands on the way to Zhaozhou, and the war horses will fall into it if they don't run over. However, if a person runs over, it is completely easy to avoid getting stuck in the mire.

If you arrive in Zhaozhou smoothly, take Zhang Xian out of the city before the Jingdong Third Road Jin soldiers arrive in Zhaozhou. He commanded 2,000 elite soldiers, plus Zhang Xian's 5,000 elite soldiers. Seven thousand people are causing trouble for Zong Han and Zong Wang again, that's the real annoyance......

Thinking of this, Liu Xing immediately said: "Okay, then Ben Shuai will order the second battalion of teaching affairs, the personal guard battalion and the guard battalion to go to Zhaozhou." Brother Yue, you and Brother Wan stayed here with the first battalion of the sect, so that those two dog thieves could not go north safely. When I save Zhang Xian and return, I believe that Marshal Zong Ze should also rush here. When the time comes, we will attack with all our might, and we will definitely make it impossible for the Golden Dog to escort the Second Emperor to the north. ”

"The last will obey."

Although Yue Fei received the order, a look of disappointment leaked on his face.

Seeing his expression, Liu Xing secretly snickered in his heart: Originally, Zhang Xian should have been your head horse, but I'm sorry, General Yue. Now is the time when I urgently need to recruit more henchmen, so don't blame me for deliberately not letting Zhang Xian save and give you the opportunity to show favor to him......

……

After a while, Liu Xing ordered the soldiers of the third battalion and led 1,500 people to quickly climb the mountains and rush to Zhaozhou on foot. Yue Fei and Wan Yafei quickly set up the first battalion of the martial arts camp, divided into ten squads, and rushed to the outside of the Jin Bing camp to start a new round of sparrow warfare.

Zong Han and Zong Wang naturally couldn't know that Liu Xing had rushed to Zhaozhou with most of the soldiers of the Red Turban Army, and thought that there were still more than 2,000 people playing that kind of playful tactics with them, so they simply ordered the camp gate to be closed and no one was allowed to go out of the camp to fight, so they were obediently blocked by 500 people in the camp and kept bombarding.

Soon after Yue Fei and Wan Yafei resumed their attacks, Liu Xing, who was marching towards Zhaozhou, received a letter from Zong Ze: Zong Ze had defeated the surrounding lands and taken and firmly controlled Yuanshi City in one go.

As soon as the news came, Liu Xing immediately opened his throat and told the news of the victory to the 1,500 soldiers around him. Hearing this good news, the morale of the soldiers of the third battalion suddenly rose to the peak, and after Liu Xing adjusted it with the power of faith, 1,500 people actually ran sixty miles in just three hours and came to the Erxian Pavilion in the north of Zhaozhou.

However, things will never only make one side powerful, Liu Xing led his troops to the Erxian Pavilion, and ran into a team of Jurchens wearing black robes.

The two armies collided head-on, and one of the Jurchens, who only had a dozen horsemen, stopped his horse and immediately shouted and asked: "Who is the Song dog on the other side?" If you don't want to die, put down your blade, and I'll spare you from dying. ”

Upon hearing this, Liu Xing grinned, raised his head and glared at the black-robed Jurchen knight who was the leader, and said, "You golden dog, you want the master to surrender?" Why are you? ”

Being ridiculed by others, the black-robed knight who was the leader turned angry and roared loudly: "Just because your grandfather's cultivation is much higher than that of you Song dogs, just because I am waiting for 300,000 soldiers from the Great Golden Kingdom to come here." You little thief, if you dare to insult your grandfather, believe it or not, I will kill you immediately, and then kill all the men and women behind you. ”

"What a big breath!"

Still staring at the black-robed knight who was the leader, Liu Xing already knew from the true qi that faintly leaked from the horse's speech that person should be a Demon Sect-level cultivator. As he continued to ridicule each other, one hand slowly touched the back of his waist. (To be continued.) )
