The city was dusty, and construction began at the four corners of the city, and in just five days, the foundations of sixty towers were dug up. @@diǎn@ small @说, o

3,000 Khitan and Xi soldiers and 9,000 people of all ethnic groups were divided into three shifts after Liu Xing issued the new construction regulations, and the construction started day and night, making Wutai City seem to be a city that never sleeps.

It's not just Wutai County that has become a city that never sleeps. In the Hunter Valley, the iron yard and the big pharmaceutical factory that started construction at the same time as the city of Wutai County also made the Hunter Valley, which was originally extremely quiet after late night, was also brightly lit and full of people.

Such a scene, if you are not in the situation, you will definitely think that this is a place under the peace and prosperity of the construction of a large number of buildings.

However, no one can forget that at the same time that a new round of construction began in Wutai and the Hunter Valley. Hundreds of miles away, the massacre in Taiyuan City has not yet ended.

Farther away in Bianjing City, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang were still wantonly bullying harem beauties in the palace of the Great Song Dynasty. The generals under the two men were looting gold and silver treasures day and night, and kidnapping all the women in the city.

Outside Bianjing City, the soldiers of the Jin Army, who were constantly coming and going, were waiting to load boxes of treasures from the city onto the carriage and prepare for retreat.

What made the Jin army decide to retreat would naturally not be Liu Xing and the Red Turban Army, who were thousands of miles away. Because even if Liu Xing has now made the Jin army famous and frightened, it can only be a fool's dream to fly over the Qianzhong Mountain with the Red Turban Army to save Bianjing.

Before the fall of Bianjing, the Qinwang armies of the Great Song Dynasty had already rushed to Bianjing City again from all directions. However, King Kang Zhao's immobility directly affected the mentality of the generals of the reinforcements.

Many of the commanders of King Qin's division, after learning the news that King Kang was not moving, ordered the troops that were originally advancing at full speed to temporarily turn into a slow march.

However, there will always be exceptional people and things that appear in troubled times, and the biggest surprise is the veteran Zong Ze.

After he met Zhao Gou three times and hoped that King Kang would send troops to no avail, he could only rush out of Cizhou alone with more than 10,000 people, and rampage all the way through the land of Jingdong, where there were not many Jin soldiers left behind. In less than two months, they successively captured 92 large and small cities in four states and one capital, and finally reached a place less than 200 miles away from Bianjing.

As soon as they received the report that Zong Ze was leading the troops to kill, Zong Han and Zong Wang hurriedly mobilized 15,000 people to rush out of Bianjing City, blocking Zong Ze in a valley 200 miles away.

But Zong Ze used his soldiers for a long time, and after less than ten days of fighting, the 15,000 gold soldiers were killed by the old general, and more than 3,000 people were killed.

Faced with such a situation, Zong Wang and Zong Han could only hurriedly order Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and his son to be escorted up, and began to prepare for the retreat to the north......

The news that the Jin army was preparing to retreat from Bianjing City soon spread to Wutai County, and when Liu Xing received the news, Su Dong and Bi Jin had already overfulfilled the task of blocking the northeast military route of the Jin Bing West Route Army.

The two young generals actually led their troops all the way to chase and kill the Jin soldiers who escaped from Sizhai, and by the way, they captured Fanzhi County and completely cut off the northeast military road of Yinshuke.

On the other hand, at the beginning of the construction of Wutai City and the Hunter Valley, Liu Xing sent Yang Yizhong and Yue Fei, each with 2,000 men and horses divided into two roads, and crossed the Taihang Mountain to the northwest of Zhending Mansion. The seven military villages and two county towns there were unable to sleep.

Therefore, when he learned the news that the Jin soldiers were preparing to retreat from Bianjing, Liu Xing's first thought was that the Jin army was going to retreat north and take the second emperor to the city of the Five Kingdoms.

Now that he knew what the enemy wanted to do, Liu Xing immediately reacted.

On the one hand, he ordered Su Dong and Bi Jin to abandon the city and four villages in Daizhou and return to the Hunter Valley to gather and assemble.

On the other hand, Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong joined forces together, stopping the previous bluff attack and harassment war, and directly turned it into a real attack. In just one night, he captured eight towns and four military villages, including Dongxi Caogu and Beizhai Dakou in the north of Zhending, and reached the front of the army to fifty miles north of Xingtang County.

Liu Yanzong, who fled to Taiyuan City and was sent to Xinzhou to rest and recuperate, as soon as he received the military report of the Xingtang crisis, he was so anxious that he rushed into Taiyuan City like an ant on a hot pot to ask for troops from Yinshuke.

If he loses the Zhending Mansion, Liu Yanzong knows very well that his fate will inevitably be dismissed at the slightest, his head will fall to the ground, and he may even be directly beheaded by the murderous Jurchens.

Therefore, after seeing Yinshuke, Liu Yanzong roared almost all the way and moved out a bunch of Jin Dynasty rules to suppress Yinshuke, so that Yinshuke had to transfer 10,000 elite cavalry and 20,000 infantry troops from the troops in Taiyuan City who had just rested for a few days to hand them over to him to return to Zhending Mansion......

"Are you sure? Did Yinshu really transfer 30,000 horses to Liu Yanzong? After hearing Liang Xing's report, Liu Xing still stared at him with some suspicion and asked.

Liang Xing nodded heavily and replied, "Yes, Marshal." The hard detectives sent out saw it very clearly, and at least 50,000 gold soldiers in Taiyuan City were heading south under the banner of the Eastern Route Army early this morning. Judging from its marching route, it should be to bypass the Wutai area and pass through Yuxian County to return to Zhending Mansion through Taihang Mountain. ”

After getting the confirmed news, Liu Xing frowned and secretly said: Taiyuan City originally had 150,000 gold soldiers, and after transferring 30,000, there were still 120,000 left.

Fighting Taiyuan, even if the remaining soldiers and horses of the young master go up, there is no chance of winning. If you want Yinshu to suffer another big loss, you can only find a way to make a plan for him to divert the tiger from the mountain before Zong Han and Zong Wang return to the north, so that the soldiers and horses in Taiyuan City are less, so that the master can recover Taiyuan City......

Thinking of this, Liu Xing immediately raised his head and ordered: "Temporarily stop the reconstruction of Wutai, and assemble all the soldiers and horses of the six Khitan battalions and the six battalions of the Xi nationality that have completed the training." The soldiers with Beiwei, Xuanjia, Tiger Cavalry, Wolf Cavalry, Trap and Female Archery Battalion as the main battle immediately sent troops to attack the land of Xinzhou. Su Quan led the remaining battalions, and all of them temporarily retreated to the Hunter Valley to stay. ”

When the battalion commanders heard the order, they shouted in unison.

Liu Xing then turned his gaze to Yelu Bashen, who was standing aside and had just been appointed as the deputy envoy of the craftsman for a few days: "Deputy envoy Yelu, have the two hundred iron guns I asked you to make urgently have been made?" ”

"Marshal, it's done."

Looking at Su Quan on the other side, Liu Xing asked, "Are you ready to prepare the two thousand catties of gunpowder and 100,000 iron beads?" ”

"Marshal, get ready."

Finally, turning his gaze back to Liang Xing, Liu Xing asked again: "What are the results of training with bamboo guns with those two hundred brothers?" Can you make sure that the two hundred brothers have a good grasp of how to use and reload the firearms? ”

Liang Xing replied: "Marshal, those two hundred brothers have practiced hard for fifteen days, and they have fully mastered the use and loading methods of firearms. It's just that they originally just trained with bamboo guns, and whether they could accurately kill and injure the golden dog with iron guns, their subordinates didn't know the bottom of their hearts. ”

Half a month ago, Liu Xing had the idea of attacking Jin Bing with a firecracker, and at that time, Yelu Bashen had not yet arrived in the Hunter Valley.

There was no relatively reliable iron to make iron guns, so Liu Xing could only ask Su Quan to find someone to use bamboo to make a fire gun that provided drawings and usage and filling methods from his own memory.

Now that all the preparations are ready, Liu Xing stood up abruptly, and said with a straight face: "I don't need those brothers to be able to hit every shot right away, I asked Su Quan to prepare so many iron balls, just to let them use scattered bullets to kill the enemy." ”

When these words fell, Liu Xing immediately said loudly: "Each battalion listens to the order, and finds Zeng Weijie to command the sixth battalion of the Khitan as the left army, Liang Xingtong to command the sixth battalion of the Xi nationality as the right army, and the commander himself leads the six battalions to the middle army. Wang Mingde is the queen of Wutai, and Su Quan is the queen of the Immortal Valley. The whole army was reorganized, and after half an hour, he marched to Xinzhou with his army......"

As soon as the order came out, there was a sudden noise of life and chaotic footsteps in the Haoqi Hall.

Liu Xing took the lead in flying out of the Haoqi Hall and went straight to the direction of the Tiance Camp. When they entered the small school yard in the barracks, the 200 soldiers with bamboo guns in their hands, who had already been on standby, immediately lined up.

Glancing at the two hundred soldiers with a solemn expression, Liu Xing said loudly: "Brothers, are you all ready for the first battle of today's battle and our army's attack on the Golden Dog with firearms?" ”

"Always ready to ......"

"Okay, go to the craftsman's house and get the iron gun and ammunition. After a stick of incense, go to the front of the marshal's mansion to meet with the marshal. With another order, Liu Xing quickly turned around and ran back in the direction of the Marshal's Mansion.

The 200 soldiers of the Tiance Battalion, who had spent almost 12 hours a day practicing the bamboo gun archery technique in the past fifteen days, also rushed out of the Tiance Camp and quickly rushed to the Craftsman's Mansion......

Half an hour later, with Liu Xing's order, the three thousand people from the Red Turban Army Headquarters took the lead in walking out of the Hunter Valley. Then the three thousand Khitan soldiers and the three thousand Xi soldiers also walked up to the Xianren Bridge with solemn expressions and swaggered forward, and quickly advanced in the direction of Xinzhou.
