Fenghou

Chapter 33 Mission
Although Wang Yan's letter was very thick, it was mainly a map, and the task order only had one sentence: capture Jiandao Pass around mid-February, and cut off the east aid of Wanyan Wulu army.

There was a seal underneath, Chen Qing thought it was the ruler of Wang Yan or Wu Jie, but when he looked carefully, it turned out to be the seal of Zhang Jun, the Xuanfu envoy of Sichuan and Shanxi, which was an order personally issued by Zhang Jun.

Chen Qing hastily spread out a map on the table, it was a map of the distribution of Guanlong's military power, it was clearly marked, Jurchen Wanyan Wulu led [-] golden soldiers in the Longyou and Hehuang area, Fengxiang County's golden soldiers The number of troops has increased to [-], and there are still [-] Jin soldiers stationed in Mei County and Fufeng County.

Three arrows are drawn on the map, one from Longzhou to the back of Heshangyuan, one from Fengxiang County to Heshangyuan, and one from Mei County to Heshangyuan.

The three-way golden soldiers will fight against the monk Yuan.

Chen Qing noticed the arrow in Longzhou, there is a red triangle symbol in the middle of the arrow, and there is a note next to it, 'Arrows and arrows'

In other words, Jianbai Pass happened to block the way for the Jin soldiers to go south from Longyou, and Chen Qing's task was to lead his army to block the Jin soldiers on the west road at Jianbai Pass.

Nothing has happened yet, and this is just Zhang Jun's judgment on the situation. They judged that Jin Bing will attack He Shangyuan from three directions, and the time will be next spring.

That's why Zhang Jun ordered Chen Qing to take and occupy Jiandao Pass around the beginning of spring.
Of course, this is just Chen Qing's guess. Maybe Zhang Jun has deeper strategic intentions, such as creating conditions for Liu Ziyu and Liu Kai's troops to withdraw southward.

Chen Qing silently calculated that he only had more than one month left in Linyou County.

The next day was New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month, Chen Qing gave the soldiers two days off and gave each soldier two pennies, allowing them to go out to have fun and enjoy life.

The barracks and school grounds were empty, and the soldiers all went to visit the county town together. New Year's Eve was the last day for businesses in the county town to open, and it was also the busiest time.

But Xu Ning obviously didn't intend to give Chen Qing a holiday. Early in the morning, he drove a bullock cart to the barracks with a few apprentices.

"Don't bargain for me, how many days do you have left in Linyou County? I wish you could stop sleeping at night and give me hard work on shooting incense!"

"Do you think you are good at riding and shooting? Tell you, your current level is not even as good as an ordinary Jurchen cavalry, and you still refuse to work hard!"

"When I was the coach in Tokyo, even Taiwei Gao Qiu didn't dare to say that I have a day off today!"

Xu Ning's torrential reprimand made Chen Qing really ashamed.

Chen Qing quickly raised his hands, "Don't be angry, old man, I'll just practice, and I'll put on my armor right away!"

He had already changed into casual clothes and was about to go for a stroll in the street, but now he could only change into the armor again, get the bow and mount the horse under the coercion of Xu Ning.

"Master Xu, how should I practice?"

Xu Ning waved his hand, "Bring it up!"

Several apprentices brought up two iron cages, which were full of fat voles, huddled together and chirping.

Chen Qing frowned, "A mouse as a target?"

Xu Ning glared at him, and said dissatisfiedly, "What do you know? This method was taught by Zhou Tong to get you out of your comfort zone and force you to make a breakthrough as soon as possible. It took a lot of effort for my apprentice to catch these voles. Stop talking nonsense, shoot from fifty paces away!"

Chen Qing had no choice but to steer his horse to [-] paces away. Apprentice Xu Ning released the first vole, its plump body scurrying in the withered grass. Chen Qing urged the horse to gallop, drew the bow like a full moon, and shot it with an arrow.

The arrow was very accurate, but it was a pity that it was a little slow. The arrow rubbed against the body of the field mouse and nailed it in the soil.

"Come again!" Xu Ning shouted.

Chen Qing drew his bow again and shot quickly, but the arrow was still slow and missed the running field mouse.

"stop!"

Xu Ning stopped riding and shooting, and signaled his apprentice to catch the field mouse back.

He stepped forward to look at Chen Qing and said, "Why didn't the two arrows hit, have you found the reason?"

Chen Qing pondered for a while, "I see very accurately, it should not be a problem with eyesight, but a delay in judgment."

"Speaking of the key point, the second level, the arrow in the heart, actually refers to judgment. You find the target at first sight, and then shoot with your bow and arrow. At this time, you should judge where the latest position of the target will be. How does he move, what is his moving speed? Will he turn suddenly, and even consider the influence of wind speed, etc., so whether you can shoot depends on whether your judgment is accurate."

Chen Qing finally realized the difficulty of becoming a master of riding and shooting. He was moving at high speed, and his opponent was also moving at high speed. More importantly, there were thousands of people interfering on the battlefield. Lock each other all the time?Fleeting first-line opportunities must also be seized.

This is a hundred times more difficult than the Olympic shooting competition. It is too difficult. How should I practice?
Xu Ning asked his apprentice to bring a small cage, and in the cage was a fat vole.

Xu Ning looked into Chen Qing's eyes, "Tell me, what did you see?"

Chen Qing hesitated, but still told the truth, "A vole!"

Xu Ning shook his head and said, "What I saw were four sharp claws, a sharp beak with six pairs of beards, a pair of small mung bean-sized eyes, and a round body. Look, it's only half The tail, even if it is mixed with other voles, I can find it at a glance."

Chen Qing was stunned. He suddenly remembered how the shooting instructor yelled at him back then, "Idiot! To be specific, what you shoot is not a person, but a forehead and a chest. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Chen Qing suddenly realized that to be specific and detailed, the target was not the same Jurchen cavalry, but a living person with distinctive features and unique movements, so that the other party would be deeply imprinted on him. In my mind, no matter how he moves, he will not get lost. This is called aiming with the heart.

"I'll come again!"

Another field mouse ran out, running wildly in the dry grass, Chen Qing rode his horse and galloped, all the characteristics of this mouse were clearly in his mind, sharp teeth, small frightened eyes, fat and round body, slender limbs With two paws and a long, curly tail, he locked onto the vole.

Chen Qing quickly drew his bow and set an arrow, accurately judging the running speed and trajectory of the field mouse, the tip of the arrow was slightly to the left, and the arrow shot out, "Squeak! With a scream, the field mouse was nailed to the ground by an arrow.

"Barely!"

Xu Ning said lightly: "You have reached the level of a Jurchen cavalry who has just joined the army."

With the coming of the New Year, Jin soldiers retreated northward, Lin'an was stabilized, and the Song Dynasty officially changed the Yuan to the first year of Shaoxing.

But destroying the Song Dynasty is still the highest goal of the Jin Dynasty. On the one hand, they supported Liu Yu in the Central Plains to establish a puppet Qi, and used the puppet Qi army to put pressure on the Song Dynasty on the eastern front, while the main force of the Jin soldiers went to the western front.

On the one hand, it is necessary to occupy the entire north of the Qinling Mountains, on the other hand, it is necessary to open up the road to Sichuan, capture Sichuan, and then march eastward from Sichuan.

Conquering Dasan Pass became the top priority of the Jin Bing. At this time, the Jin Bing had garrisoned [-] troops in Guanzhong, led by the fourth prince Wanyan Wushu. It is impossible to return to Jingzhao in a short time.

The heavy task of attacking Monk Yuan fell on Wanyan Meili, the master of Fengxiang Mansion.

After the New Year, Jin Bing was continuously delivering food and supplies to Jinying in the south of Fengxiang, preparing for the battle. At this time, Wanyan Meili could not take care of Chen Qing in Linyou County for the time being.

The severe winter in Guanzhong in February has passed. Although the air is still a bit chilly, the warm earthy smell can already be smelled clearly.

In Linyou County, it was finally time for Song Jun to leave. Before that, the county magistrate Wei Qing's family and Xiao Rong's family had already taken a step ahead. Once Jin Bing came back, Wei Qing would be liquidated.

On the top of the city, Chen Qing looked far away at the farmers who were farming in the farmland. The past few months were the most stable time for him. Unfortunately, the stability is gone, and the war is coming soon.

Yang Yuanqing walked slowly in front of Chen Qing, and said in a deep voice, "Brothers are ready and ready to go at any time!"

Chen Qing glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Still worried about your wife?"

Yang Yuanqing nodded. His newlywed wife Wei Su followed his elder brother and evacuated southward. They entered Jingzhao Mansion from Qianzhou, and then went south on Meridian Road. The whole way was Jinbing's territory. How could Yang Yuanqing not be worried?
Chen Qing comforted him and said, "They have the pass issued by the government of Purun County, so there should be no problem. Besides, it's not as chaotic as it was last autumn. The business roads in various places are relatively smooth, and there are [-] brothers pretending to be soldiers of the Han army. Guard, don't worry about it."

"Worry is inevitable, but I have no choice but to face the reality, shall we set off after lunch?"

Chen Qing nodded. According to the plan, they had to leave today.

　In the new week, I ask all book friends for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, and rewards.

　　These chapters ease the rhythm a little bit, and the tense situation is about to start again.

　　I implore everyone to continue to support Lao Gao
