Reborn as Murong Fu: This time I am the protagonist

Chapter 186 Temples, Rivers and Lakes
Qiao Feng let out a loud roar, full of more than [-] years of pure Shaolin internal strength, and even more courageous, the power of this anger was like thunder in the sky above the battlefield, covering up all the hustle and bustle.

Standing here is a group of lightly armored Song soldiers and disciples of the Beggar Gang. Facing the charge of Xixia heavy armored cavalry regardless of cost, the soldiers of the Song Army and the disciples of the Beggar Gang suffered heavy casualties.

The commander in charge of the Song Army was stabbed three times in the body, and he fought unyieldingly, and was finally shot through the head by a stray arrow and died.When he died in battle, he was still holding the broken steel knife in his hand, stabbing the ground with the knife, glaring at the enemy army, and frightened the enemy army who came forward to cut off the head.

More than half of the beggar gang disciples who were responsible for the defense were killed or injured, and everyone who was still alive was brought along.

Chen Guyan yelled at Wu Changfeng: "Old Wu! When will the leader arrive!"

Wu Changfeng swung a knife to cut off a sneak attacking Xixia soldier, kicked the body aside, and also shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up! Hold on for a while!"

Xi Shanhe's shoulders, thighs, and arms were all injured, the wounds were bleeding profusely, and bones could be seen faintly, and he shouted to kill the thief.

He was tall and wielded a pair of iron maces and beat several besieging heavy cavalry until they vomited blood and retreated.While fighting, he laughed loudly, not paying attention to his injuries.

At this moment, Qiao Feng's angry shout reached everyone's ears.

All the disciples of the Beggar Clan were stunned for a moment, then ecstasy appeared on their faces, and they all shouted: "The leader of the gang is here! The leader of the gang is here!"

At the mouth of the valley, Qiao Feng and others connected twelve military horses into a row with iron chains, and a simple chain of horses was completed in this way.

Then, Qiao Feng stepped onto the steed in the middle, whipped the whip in his hand, pinched the horse's belly, and the twelve steeds rushed towards the crowd, a hole was torn open in the melee.

Under the control of Qiao Feng, the twelve horses pierced towards the center of the battlefield like sharp knives, and people along the way dodged one after another.The disciples of the Beggar Clan easily dodged because they had no armor and were quick to move. However, the Xixia cavalry in heavy armor did not have such good luck and were knocked to pieces by the chain horses.

Qiao Feng slapped his palms and kicked his feet, killing more than a dozen Xixia cavalrymen in a row. His bravery scared the commander of the Xixia Army into a panic, and kept shouting: "Quick, kill that beggar! Don't let him come over!"

Qiao Feng's eyes narrowed, and he knew that this man must be the leader of this Xixia army. He thought in his heart: "Capture the thief first and capture the king. If you kill this Xixia officer, this group of Xixia soldiers will have no one to command. Revenge for the dead brothers of the Beggar Gang!"

Thinking like this, the movements of his hands didn't stop at all. After the move of Shuanglong Fetch Water knocked two Xixia soldiers who were approaching and flew them upside down, Qiao Feng sent out the move of Long Zhan Yuye towards the direction of the Xixia officer in front.

The Xixia officer thought to himself that there was a distance of more than [-] zhang between him and Qiao Feng, and there were more than a dozen armored soldiers guarding him, how could Qiao Feng get so close?

He wanted to show his heroic image in front of his subordinates, so he saw Qiao Feng approaching from a distance, instead he swung his steel knife and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and kill this Song man!"

Qiao Feng slammed Long Zhan Yuye, his body has already moved five feet forward, and the palm force of this palm is also five feet.Then Qiao Feng saw Long Zaitian strike again with two palms, one palm pushing and one palm with triple palm force, and he came to the Xixia officer in an instant.

The Xixia officer was thinking about how to kill this seemingly high-ranking disciple of the Beggar Gang one second, but the next second he felt an invisible palm force pressing towards him like a mountain.

Before he could even utter a scream, the body of the Xixia officer flew upside down like a kite with a broken string, and the spray of blood was one foot high, obviously he couldn't survive.

The main general was killed, and the remaining Xixia cavalry lost their fighting spirit in an instant. After a group of dragons beat up without a leader, the people who were still alive ran to Taniguchi. They didn't care about the orders of the marshal at all. The sky is big and the earth is big. big!

"Hooray! Hooray!"

"Win, win!"

Seeing that the enemy army had retreated, the remnants of the Song Army and the disciples of the Beggar Clan burst into cheers.

The battle came to an end. When counting the number of people, there were less than 300 of the more than 200 beggar gang disciples who were in charge of guarding here, and more than half of the soldiers of the Song Army were injured.

The two sides in this battle were already in a stalemate. The [-] Western Xia Army and the Great Song Western Army fought across the board, not just in Yingchou Gorge, but everywhere.This is also the reason why Helian Tieshu used the dangerous move to mobilize part of the elite guarding the granary, because the troops he can mobilize right now are really stretched.

Originally, he could have transferred Yipintang here, and it is most appropriate for Yipintang to carry out this kind of surprise mission.But although he is the nominal controller of Yipintang, he has lost control of Yipintang at this time.For some unknown reason, a large number of Yipintang masters were in a state of being unable to be contacted at this time.

That night, a granary of the Xixia Army with [-] shi of grain and grass was burned, and none of the [-] elite cavalry in charge of attacking the Yingchou Gorge survived. Although it did not have a decisive impact on the battle situation, it also made the subsequent offensive of the Xixia Army extremely weak. up.

The most important thing is that Helian Tieshu, the commander of the Xixia army, was injured by the assassin and was poisoned. Although he finally saved his life with timely treatment, he was in a coma for a few days before he recovered.

Taking advantage of this gap, the Song army launched a full-scale counterattack, and finally pushed the battle situation to its own advantage, which finally made Xixia's medium-scale offensive return without success.

On the other hand, the Liao Kingdom has always been in a wait-and-see attitude. The [-] Liao soldiers and soldiers on the border have been watching from the sidelines from beginning to end.When the news of Xixia's defeat came, they plundered the border area and then retreated to the original place.From beginning to end, Song Jun did not make any substantive moves.

Honglu Temple of the Great Song Dynasty lodged a solemn protest against and strongly condemned the Liao Kingdom’s blatant tearing of the Chanyuan Alliance and provoking frontier wars, and solemnly requested the Liao Kingdom to send envoys to explain the matter.

One month later, the special envoys of both sides met in Bianliang, and the meeting was successfully held in a cordial and friendly atmosphere.

The final explanation given by the envoy of the Liao Dynasty was that Yeluhong, the leader of the Liao Dynasty, was hunting in the border area, and had no intention of meeting the Song state.

When the Song envoy met with the Liao envoys, he specifically pointed out that since the signing of the Chanyuan Alliance, the Song and Liao countries have had a period of peace for hundreds of years, and the friendship between the people of the two countries is solid and indestructible. The Liao Kingdom obeys the wishes of the people of the two countries and does not go against the grain, otherwise the Liao Kingdom will be responsible for all consequences.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty deliberately emphasized that the Great Song Dynasty is no longer what it was a hundred years ago.The Song Dynasty army is confident and has the ability to wipe out all invading enemies within the border.

In response to the Liao envoy's inappropriate remarks during the talks, the Song envoy stated that the Liao side is not qualified to talk to the Song Dynasty from the perspective of strength.

The report of the talks came out, and the people of Bianliang were very excited, and they all expressed their greatness, my Song Dynasty!All of a sudden, the sales volume of the storybooks about General Yang’s Anti-Liao Dynasty surged. In the major teahouses and restaurants in Bianjing area, the storybooks of Zhongyong Yang’s family topped the list of the most popular storybooks for one month in a row.

However, some gossip pointed out that during the talks, the Liao envoy asked the Song Dynasty to increase the yearly coin by 20 taels of silver every year.The Liao envoy pointed out that since the establishment of the border mutual market between the two states, the Song Dynasty has used unfair competition methods every year to put the Liao country at a disadvantage.The Song Dynasty fought hard according to reason, and finally the two parties reached an agreement with 5 taels of silver.

After the meeting, the Liao envoy, accompanied by four Bianjing oirans, stayed at Honglu Temple.

When the news came out, the Taixue youths were in an uproar.Some Taixue students copied hundreds of copies of "On the Six Kingdoms" written by Bachelor Su Xiaosu overnight, and spread it everywhere, which aroused righteous indignation. Some people who made angry remarks pointed out that the weakness of the Song Dynasty today is all because the emperors of the past dynasties value literature over literature. As a result of Wu, for a while, the rhetoric of a strong Tang and a weak Song was rampant.

Finally, after the reconnaissance of the Imperial City Department of the Great Song Dynasty, the mastermind of this operation was found out.In the name of not respecting the teachings of saints, Xuezheng dismissed the student's merits and banned him from taking the scientific examination for five years.

In response to the student's extreme behavior, Mr. Xuezheng said that the students of the Song Dynasty should love the Song Dynasty rationally, and not miss their bright future because of a momentary excessive behavior. They must trust the officials and the teachings of the sages.

In this way, a storm subsided between the rivers and lakes and the temple.

As for the tens of thousands of border people who were taken away by the Liao army, no one cared.

　Great, my Da Song.
