The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

The moonlight was half-covered, and the brilliant light sifted down like a silver chain, illuminating the earth sometimes brightly and sometimes darkly.

This kind of night is the most suitable for sneak attacks. The full moon attracts attention, but without the moon it is difficult to move.

Zhao Tong was drinking wine in the tent, while Xiao Lizhi looked puzzled across from him, wondering what big show there was to watch at midnight.

She was making up her mind at the moment. Although she said she wanted to kill Zhao Tong to avenge her brother, if it was really impossible, then it would be better to die deliberately. It would be better to find an opportunity to escape.

Zhao Tong said: "Miss Xiao, drink."

How could Xiao Lizhi dare to drink more? Qiqi Aai said: "Your Majesty, what exactly is going on at midnight?"

Zhao Tong picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he looked at the hourglass next to him and said with a smile: "Of course it's a drama about defeating the Jin Army!"

"Ah!" Xiao Lizhi had already picked up the wine glass. When he heard this, his hand trembled and the wine glass almost fell to the ground, with the wine inside splashing all over him.

"Miss Xiao... is it possible that she was excited when she heard that the Jin army was going to be defeated?" Zhao Tong asked in surprise.

Xiao Lizhi was angry when he heard this, why am I excited? This is the big drama you are talking about? The gates around the capital have been sealed long ago, and your mountains of earth have not yet been piled up. What can you do to defeat my Jurchen son? Do you still want to storm the city? But the sky is dark and unclear in the middle of the night. Can you attack it?

"Ah... the civilian girl is really excited, but she just doesn't know how your Majesty plans to defeat the Jin Army?"

Zhao Tong looked at her and smiled and said: "I have a clever calculation. I calculated that at midnight the Jurchens would definitely open the city and come out to steal the camp and rob the village. Then I laid an ambush and waited for the enemy to enter the trap and surrounded them. I came to catch turtles in a jar and destroyed these Jin troops. As for the city Send people to grab it at the other side, go to the capital gate and wait for the attackers to return, they will definitely not be blocked!"

Xiao Li was surprised and asked: "Your Majesty...how did you know that the Jin army was stealing camp tonight?"

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "Didn't I tell you that I have a clever plan? Just pinch your fingers and you can know what Nianhan Zongbi and others want to do."

"This, I'm afraid this may not be possible..."

Xiao Lizhi didn't believe it. He went to the capital to lock up the city. How could Zhao Tong know what the people inside wanted to do? Even if he has spies buried in Shangjing, people around Nianhan Zongbi will definitely not know about such confidential matters unless they are close to Nianhan Zongbi. Even if there is a spy with such a high position, he still has to be able to pass on the news. , now in Jingguancheng, how can there be information that can be sent out?
"Miss Xiao, don't you believe it?" Zhao Tong shook his head: "The time is coming soon, I will take Miss Xiao out to watch this good show now!"

Xiao Lizhi thought to himself, if you really have such an ability to pinch and calculate, then the Jurchens will accept their defeat in the end, but how can anyone in the world have such a miraculous ability? Not even the great shaman can do it.

"Come here, put on the clothes!"

Zhao Tong gave an order, and the two brothers Bai Zhan and Bai Ba came in and put on his armor.

His armor was left behind by the Iron Spear Wang Yanzhang. It was a precious armor. Even if two people helped to wear it, it would take nearly half a quarter of an hour to complete it. Xiao Lizhi looked at it from the side and saw that it was really powerful. He couldn't help but feel uneasy. They were all put on. It didn't look like Zhao Tong was bragging.

"Go and get a set of armor for Miss Xiao," Zhao Tong said.

"I, I don't have to..." Xiao Lizhi hurriedly refused.

"There should be no iron armor suitable for Miss Xiao's figure, but leather armor is fine, so just get a pair of leather armor!" Zhao Tong did not allow her to object and ordered with a wave of his hand.

After a while, Bai Zhan came back with a set of small leather armor. Xiao Lizhi had no choice but to put it on because he had no choice but to refuse.

Then they went out. It was already midnight. Before they could get on their horses, they heard a sudden cry of death in the distance.

"Miss Xiao, be careful of cold arrows." Zhao Tong reminded.

In a melee, the most important thing to watch out for is cold arrows and stray arrows. Many generals and famous marshals have died without taking precautions.

Xiao Lizhi nodded, but he was horrified in his heart, because the shouts of killing in the distance could not be faked. Could it be that the city really came to steal the camp?
After getting on their horses, several people came to a high ground surrounded by soldiers. Although this place was not on the edge of the battlefield, from a high position, with the torch lights shining, they could clearly see the situation ahead.

I could only see people shouting and horses neighing in the distance, gold and iron clanking, and the war was endless and the scale was very large.

One side can be vaguely seen strangulating, and one side seems to be breaking out and retreating, but it is surrounded by layers of circles, and how can it escape? The person who was beaten was so miserable that the whole army was about to be annihilated here.

Xiao Lizhi's body trembled slightly. It was indeed a Jurchen son and a Jurchen warrior who came to steal the camp. But why did Zhao Tong know? Could it be that he really knows how to do calculations!
"Miss Xiao, how about this big show? Is it good to watch?" Zhao Tong said with a smile.

Xiao Lizhi's heart seemed to be bleeding at this moment, and she really couldn't say the word "good-looking" against her will. She murmured: "How could this happen? How could this happen..."

"Miss Xiao, are you surprised that I am a master of calculation?" Zhao Tong laughed loudly: "I have already said that as long as I use my fingers to calculate, I can know astronomy and geography, and I can calculate a small Jurchen sneak attack, and I can easily catch it. !”

Xiao Lizhi looked at Zhao Tong with anger and hatred in his heart. This man was so arrogant and arrogant, but he couldn't beat him at home. He couldn't think of any other way to deal with him. After tonight, he secretly left the military camp. Go back to Huining.

"The war is about to end, Miss Xiao and I are watching from the front!" Zhao Tao cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Lizhi's face, and then rode forward.

Xiao Lizhi had no choice but to follow behind. At this time, the sounds of the battlefield gradually became quieter. Although the Jurchens sent many soldiers and horses in this surprise attack, they broke into the encirclement trap, which was a trench, a horse pit, and a trip wire. Almost in a state of being beaten unilaterally, such a one-sided war will naturally end quickly.

By the time Zhao Tong and the others slowly passed by, it was almost over. However, there were still some Jurchen soldiers who resisted stubbornly. Some fell but did not die. They struggled to run, but were killed on the spot by the Qin army with their swords and guns.

Xiao Lizhi's eyes were about to burst.

Zhao Tong said calmly: "These Jurchens killed the Khitans and the Han people, and they did the same thing. This is war. It doesn't matter what is good or bad on the battlefield. There is only death between you and me. War is so cruel and cruel!"

Xiao Lizhi was speechless. As a member of the clan and the younger sister of Yin Shu Ke and Bali Su, he naturally understood war, how to distinguish between good and bad family ties, and if he did not kill the other party, his own family would perish.

When Shangjing was captured, many Khitan clan members in the city were killed, and many prisoners went to Huining. Xiao Lizhi knew this.

"It would be great if...if there was no war..." She said calmly at this moment. "There is no war..." Zhao Tong sighed softly and looked up at the dark clouds covering the half-moon in the sky: "When the Jurchens are wiped out, the war will be temporarily over."

"Will it really end?" Xiao Lizhi would never accept Zhao Tao's statement that he had wiped out the Jurchen. It was her clan. If the Jurchen was not here, how would she deal with herself?

"Let's end it for now..." Zhao Tong didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore. Who can speak well about war? You can think about everything in an idealistic way, but for war, you must always think about the worst and worst plans.

"Miss Xiao will follow me to the north gate of Beijing to see if there is any luck in seizing the city gate and destroying the gold thieves in the city in one go."

Xiao Lizhi pursed her lips, thinking that you are the thief, but she was indeed concerned about this matter at the moment. If the gate to the capital was really lost, then the city would be in danger. If it was lost, Zong Han, Zong Bi and others were afraid It was difficult to escape alive.

After a while, when they arrived to the north of Shangjing, they saw that there were beaten corpses everywhere outside the city gate, and the facade was mottled and damaged, but fortunately it was not broken. It was obviously defended and the Qin army was not allowed to succeed. Only then did Xiao Lizhi He breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Tong frowned when he saw this. It seemed that Zongbi and others in the city were still cautious and defended too tightly. His troops failed to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the city gate.

At this time, Ruda rode back covered in blood and reported: "Your Majesty, the opponent's defense is tight and it is really impossible to take this door."

Zhao Tong nodded: "Pull the men and horses back, light up the pine tar torches, and use the light to see."

Ruda responded, calling all the soldiers under the city back, and then they all picked up various things that could illuminate, and for a while, it was as bright as day under the northern city of Beijing.

The top of the city in Shangjing was also lit with oil pillars and the like. Zong Han, Zong Bi, Xiyin and others were all there, looking down with ugly faces.

Especially Xiyin, whose face was so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping with water. It turned out that he was wrong. The secret letter from Ayako turned out to be a fake. The other party had already laid a trap for them, waiting for them to get into it.

"Look, who is that person?" Wan Yanqi, a young man with sharp eyes, saw Zhao Tong from a distance, looking like stars holding the moon, and couldn't help but wonder.

Hearing this, several other people squinted their eyes and looked carefully. Xiyin even rubbed it vigorously, but the sight made him tremble.

The city was brightly lit, making it easier to see from above. He saw that the figure Wan Yanqi mentioned was so familiar. It had appeared in his nightmares countless times at night. Even without looking at the face, he could only look up from the riding posture. He could recognize who it was by the look on his head.

"Zhao Tong!" As if these two words came out from between his teeth, there was a sudden silence above the city.

Zong Bi and Zong Han were also familiar with Zhao Tao. Not only did they meet him in the Huining Dynasty, they also went to the grassland for autumn hunting for more than one day. They also drank wine and talked with each other under the bonfire, and talked about the future of the Jurchens. .

"It's really this person!" Zong Bi said, wanting to immediately rush down the city and cut the opponent into pieces.

The hatred for killing his father, the hatred for breaking the army, and the current dispute over the country, all of them made him hate him beyond words.

"Gu Shen, look who is next to Zhao Tao?" Zong Han suddenly said: "Why does it look a bit like sand?"

Xiyin immediately looked over, and sure enough, there was a woman sitting right next to Zhao Tong. Although Sha Lizhi was wearing leather armor at this time, she was not wearing a leather hat, and her gender could be identified at a glance.

"Sure enough...it's Shali Zhi!" Xiyin felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head. She was lucky enough to think that maybe Shali Zhi was discovered by Zhao Tong and was forced to write about Lingzi. She was young and inexperienced, so she didn't expect to hide it. The handwriting, but at this moment, it seems that being so close to the other party is clearly surrendering!
When he thought of this, Xiyin felt like he was struck by lightning in his head, and his chest was filled with tightness. His clever plan turned out to be a meat bun. This time, he really lost his wife and lost his army. He couldn't bear it anymore, and opened his mouth and mouthed a mouthful of blood. Wow" gushed out.

Zhao Tong couldn't see clearly what was going on at the top of the city. After all, it was much darker at the top of the city than below, but he could imagine that Zong Bi, Xi Yin and the others must be there, so he started joking with Xiao Lizhi.

Xiao Lizhi didn't know that he was deliberately showing off to the people in the city, so he naturally answered every sentence. However, the scene was different in the eyes of everyone in the city. The people in the city couldn't hear what they said, they only felt that they were teasing and taunting. It's simply dazzling.

Zong Bi groaned: "Bring the bow and arrows! The soldiers behind him immediately handed over the carved bows and wolf arrows. Zong Bi raised his arms, nocked the arrows and drew the bow, and opened the five-stone bow into a full moon shape. Then he just heard There was a "whoosh" sound, and the wolf arrow was as fast as a shooting star, heading straight for Zhao Tong below the city.

Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes slightly, and Lu Da had already turned sideways. With a sword in his hand, he turned away the clouds and saw the sun, and knocked away the iron arrow. Then he took a few steps forward, pointed the sword at the city, and shouted: "Jurchen children can only hurt people with hidden arrows. Being so dirty is not far from defeat.”

When Zongbi heard this, he screamed "Wow!" in anger. Wanyanqi next to him persuaded: "Fourth uncle, don't be angry. The other party is just bluffing. Why should we be on the same level as them?"

At this time, Xiyin threw away the supporting soldier, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and whispered: "It's better to think about it in the long term."

Zong Bi took a deep breath: "Now there is no hope for a sneak attack. We can only wait for the opponent's mountains of earth to pile up and break the capital."

Wanyan said, "I don't think it's possible. Just give up going to Beijing. Why stick to it?"

Zong Bi glanced at him: "Shangjing is the gateway to the White Mountains and Black Waters. If Shangjing is lost, not only will the huge territory of the Liao Kingdom belong to the other side, but even my northeastern territory will be in danger!"

Wanyan said: "But it is better than being completely destroyed here. The green hills are left, and there is no need to worry about running out of firewood. We cannot lose everything here."

Xiyin shook his head: "Do you think Zhao Tong is so kind, leaving the open space in the north for us to escape? This north is the most dangerous compared to the other three sides. The Qin army in the other three places are all in Mingli, but there is no telling how many ambushes there will be in the north. , I’m afraid it will be extremely difficult to go all the way back to the White Mountains and Black Waters.”

Zong Han pondered at this time: "I think I should leave as a last resort. Instead of staying in Shangjing and consuming the Qin army, it is better to save some strength and go back to wait for a comeback. The Qin army has many reserves, so what if it is consumed? After a little time, It will be replenished, and we all die here, what should we do over there in Huining?"

Xiyin did not speak after hearing the words and closed his eyes slightly, but Zongbi said angrily: "If you want to leave, you can leave. I will not give Shangjing to Zhao Tan's son in vain. If he abandons the city and leaves, it will only strengthen the child's reputation and make him think that Jurchen has no power." We have brave soldiers!”

Zong Han said: "Why bother? There is no danger to defend in the capital. How can we be buried here among the white mountains and black waters? It makes no sense."

Zong Bi said: "Nianhan, are you afraid of death?"

Zong Han snorted coldly, turned away and said nothing.

Under the city, Zhao Tao looked above for a while, then ordered the withdrawal of troops, and a group of troops turned back to the camp in a mighty manner.
