Fenghou

Chapter 409 Fake Bandit
Hu Yanlei learned from the shopkeeper that there are a total of [-] Xixia spies, of which [-] are in the mules and horses, and the remaining [-] are distributed in Baichuan Restaurant and Saibei Leather Store, and another [-] are distributed in the city. In three yards.

Tonight they will gather at the Baichuan Restaurant to seize the East City Gate. More importantly, these Xixia spies only have short swords in their hands, and all weapons are stored in the mules and horses.

Hu Yanlei saw that the other party only had a short sword, and immediately judged that the other party was a spy from Xixia, he roared, "Kill—"

A hundred soldiers of the Song Dynasty fought towards each other with long contradiction cards in their hands, while the Xixia spies only had short swords in their hands.

The two teams fought fiercely in the street.

The fierce battle on the street alarmed dozens of state soldiers guarding the East City Gate, but no one dared to step forward.

The fierce battle did not last long, and the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great. The Xixia scouts were certainly elite, but the Song Army scouts were also elite. The huge gap in weapons made it impossible for the Xixia spies to compete with them.

Soon the Xixia spies were killed and retreated steadily, with corpses lying all over the place, more than [-] people had been killed and [-] or [-] people had been killed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Fuding shouted, "Retreat!"

He led the rest of the dozens of people to flee towards the west gate in a panic, but within a dozen steps, he suddenly killed an army from a slanting stab, cut off their retreat, squatted on the ground and released crossbow arrows together. They shot at the black-clothed Xixia spies like a torrential rain.

Some arrows passed through the crowd and shot at the Song Army scouts behind, who quickly raised their shields to resist.

This round of crossbow arrows killed most of the Xixia spies, leaving only seven or eight people. Li Fuding was also shot by seven or eight arrows and died tragically on the spot.

Hu Yanlei led the Song Army scouts to swarm up, surrounded and killed the remaining seven or eight people.

"Who are you?" Hu Yanlei asked loudly.

Although this army helped a lot, Hu Yanlei was still a little confused.

"General Huyan, it's ours!" Li Ziheng walked out wearing armor with a smile.

It turned out to be the two hundred Zhuang Ding of the Li family, who looked no different from the Song army, much better equipped than the state soldiers, and everyone carried crossbows.

"It's Li Yanei, thank you! Thank you!"

Li Ziheng stepped forward and said with an apologetic smile: "Zhuang Ding has never experienced actual combat, and he was very nervous. I saw that you were all wearing shields before ordering the arrows. You didn't hurt the brothers, did you?"

"Fortunately!"

Hu Yanlei understood that the Xixia spies were fierce, and these Zhuang Dings might not be able to stop them. If they were robbed of their weapons, unnecessary casualties would inevitably be caused.

Hu Yanlei said again: "Li Yanei's order is completely correct, now I'm going to the county government, is Li Yanei willing to go with me?"

Li Ziheng nodded. This was also what his father meant. The state soldiers were from the city, and Wu Shan was the son of Wu's eldest son.

"I will go with General Huyan, and I will persuade them to surrender!"

"We also hope that there will be no bloodshed!"

Hundreds of soldiers trotted towards the county government office.

In the twilight, an army of more than a thousand people was hurriedly marching to the northeast of Longxi County, accompanied by hundreds of mules and donkeys, carrying cloth and copper coins.

This army is exactly the one thousand puppet Qi army that was evacuated from Longxi County. They have two ways to retreat to Guanzhong. One way is to go northeast, cross Qinzhou to Deshun Prefecture, and finally enter Jingyuan Road from Pingliang Mansion. Or go to Liupanguan to enter Jingyuan Road.

The other way is to follow the Weihe River in a straight line until you reach Fengxiang Mansion, but the Weihe line has to cross Longshan Mountain, and the only way to go is through Chengji County, which is too dangerous for a thousand puppet Qi troops.

The Northeast Official Road passing through Qinzhou mainly passes through Jichuan County, and within a hundred miles, it enters Deshun Prefecture, where there are still supplies, which is much safer than Chengji County.

Of course, this puppet Qi army chose the relatively safe northeast line, but the northeast line also has a serious hidden danger, that is, it is easy to encounter the Song army coming from Ganquanbao.

Of course, Ganquan Fort came from another official road, which was located to the north of the road they are currently taking, but who doesn't know if the Song army will divide into two groups?
The soldiers had marched for more than [-] miles, and they were already exhausted. Their legs seemed to be filled with lead. The slower and slower they walked, the length of a thousand people stretched to three miles.

In the middle of the night, the team passed a valley with dark pine forests on both sides and bushes below the pine forest.

The team stopped to rest, and the soldiers behind rushed forward desperately, lest they delay the precious rest. Many soldiers lay on the ground, unable to move.

At this moment, there was a crisp bang sound from the pine forest, "Bang!Bang!Bang! 'The voice was very rapid, and then dense arrows shot at the puppet Qi army resting in the valley.

A thousand puppet Qi soldiers were caught off guard and shot with arrows one after another. All of a sudden, ghosts cried and wolves howled, stumbled and fled in all directions. Suddenly, a thousand soldiers came out from the pine forests on both sides, waving spears and swords to kill the puppet Qi troops.

"Xixia Army! It's Xixia Army!"

The soldiers of the Puppet Qi Army suddenly recognized the black helmet worn by this soldier, which was the logo of the Xixia Army, and they shouted loudly.

The soldiers of the Xixia Army were even more ferocious. Regardless of whether they surrendered or not, they rushed forward and cut off their heads with one knife. Almost the entire puppet Qi army was wiped out, and only a few soldiers escaped by chance.

This Xixia soldier was alerted by Chen Qing, and they were bandits called Xiahu. Of course they were fake bandits, but their real identity was the Xixia Capture Army, an army dedicated to arresting slaves. The number was not two hundred, but two. Thousands of people.

Xia Hu is his real name. He was a general of Xixia. He once used the pseudonym Xia Baihu to wreak havoc in the Xihe Road states. , Do not expose, wait for the opportunity.

Xia Hu is indeed very forbearing, Jichuan County is just tens of miles away, there is almost no garrison, and he never went to slaughter and loot the city.

Xia Hu didn't know that he had been exposed, let alone that a cavalry from the Song army was coming to kill him. He was also lucky. On the way to Longxi County, he encountered the puppet Qi army and simply set up an ambush to wipe out this exhausted army.

Xia Hu didn't waste time and didn't care about the corpses all over the ground, so he led his army and continued to Longxi. Of course, there were hundreds of mules and donkeys loaded with copper coins and cloth in his team. Return to the county seat.

At five o'clock, Yang Zaixing led two thousand cavalry to rush forward from the east. At this time, they saw headless corpses lying all over the canyon. All the heads were piled up together. Did not take away.

Yang Zaixing shook his head secretly. Now that the weather is getting hotter, the corpses will give birth to a great plague, so he immediately ordered: "Collect the corpses, burn them and bury them deep!"

The soldiers of the Song Army worked together, piled up the corpses, poured kerosene, lit the fire, and then dug a deep pit next to them, pushed all the charred corpses in, and buried them all deeply, so that there would be no wild animals Come and dig the deep hole, the beast doesn't like the smell of burnt.

After clearing the battlefield, it was already dawn, and they were delayed for an entire hour. Yang Zaixing led two thousand cavalry to speed up and rush towards Longxi County.
