One of the Eight Parts of Tianlong, Yuechen Fate

The two rushed on the road for days, and finally arrived outside Pingxia City this day.There were many traces of being run over by chariots and horses on the ground outside the city, and there were deep pits and shallow marks left by cold weapons on the city wall, obviously after fierce battles.

The officers and soldiers at the top of the city found the two, leaned out half of their bodies, and shouted to ask their identities.

Xiao Feng said that he had some important military matters, he hoped to meet Mr. Zhang, but the other party refused to allow him, he only asked them to leave quickly.Xiao Feng noticed that there were many people hiding on the city wall, presumably they were archers, they couldn't break through, he raised his head and said loudly, "May I ask Mr. Zhang to be in the city, I have important military information to tell you." When he said this, he used his internal strength, The voice spread far away, and all the tens of thousands of soldiers in the city could hear it clearly. The faces of the officers and soldiers at the top of the city changed slightly, and they shrank their heads in. After a while, they opened the city gate and let the two of them enter the city.

The two were led to Mr. Zhang's residence, there were two soldiers standing outside the door, and a middle-aged man with a rather majestic look on his brows, he glanced at Xiao Feng first, but when his eyes fell on Ye Nian, his eyes fell on Ye Nian. I was stunned, "Master Ye, why is it you?" This person was Li Hao who was familiar with Lin Yun, so he knew Ye Nian, and when he saw her in men's clothes, he changed his address.

Ye Nian smiled and said, "Master Li, hello. Is Brother Lin also in the city?"

"He has some things to do." Li Hao said, "Go in and meet Mr. Zhang before we talk." After speaking, he opened the door and went in.

Ye Nian heard what he was saying vaguely, so she didn't ask any further questions, and followed behind him with Xiao Feng.

There are several military generals sitting on both sides of the hall, and an old man with an ordinary face is at the head, and they all looked over when they heard the movement.Li Hao went over and whispered something in the old man's ear. The old man nodded and looked at Ye Nian, "No wonder it looks familiar. It's that girl from the Lin family. Why did you come here?"

Ye Nian saluted, "The little girl entered the barracks in disguise, she really had to do so, and I hope you will forgive me."

Zhang Yi didn't ask her why she couldn't do it, but turned to the man beside her, looked him up and asked, "Are you the one who spoke outside the city just now?"

Xiao Feng clasped his fists and said, "That's right, Xiao Feng, I met Mr. Zhang."

"You don't need to be too polite." Zhang Wei smiled, "A strong man has great internal strength, and I am afraid that none of the generals in my city can match you." Hearing these words, several people in the room were quite unconvinced, except for one who looked elegant The young military officer looked at Xiao Feng with a slight smile on his face.

"My lord is too famous." Xiao Feng: "My lord's generals are brave and good at fighting. All the people of Song Dynasty admire and admire them, and so do I."

"There is no need to say these kind words." Zhang Wei: "You just said that there is an important military situation, but what is it?"

Xiao Feng can't say that Quan Guanqing escaped from the army camp, so as not to be involved, and he can't tell Ye Nian's origin, so he only said that some people from Song Dynasty were captured by Xixia people to dig huge stones in the mountain, and then transported to the top of the mountain. What kind of tricks and traps, if the Song army wants to march westward through the Wuyan Gorge, they must be careful to guard against it.

Zhang Wei's heart sank. Xia's army has been attacking Pingxia City for a long time without breaking it. Instead, they lost many troops and their vitality was seriously injured. The cavalry went deep into the night to attack, and the enemy was absolutely unpredictable.But if it is true what people say, Xia Jun has already set up an ambush on the way to Tiandu Mountain... Long eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked at Xiao Feng with a vaguely dignified look in his eyes, "This is just your speculation, but Is there any solid evidence?"

Xiao Feng paused, "No, it's just..."

A military general next to him reprimanded, "Without evidence of what you said, how can the decision-making of military aircraft be affected by your baseless speculation."

Xiao Feng frowned slightly, "I really can't produce specific evidence, but this trip is not for the purpose of interfering with the court's military decision, I just think that the matter is of great importance and we must guard against it. If the Song army is going west, it's best to check it out in advance."

"You came a little late." Zhang Wei was silent for a while, then looked up at him, "I have sent a cavalry to Tiandu Mountain." As soon as the words came out, someone suddenly shouted, "My lord, there are many things in this person's words. Loopholes, I'm afraid they are not credible, in case there is any conspiracy in the middle..."

Zhang Wei stared at Xiao Feng carefully, seeing that his astonishment was not feigned, stopped everyone's discussion, and said slowly, "What if what he said is true?"

The Song army has recently won consecutive victories against Xia. While the morale is high, it also makes some people feel a little arrogant.Most of the generals present didn't take Xiao Feng's words to heart, at this moment they heard Zhang Wei's question and didn't know how to answer it.

Seeing it in his eyes, Zhang Yi sighed softly in his heart, got up and took two steps, and said to the generals, "If you have any thoughts, tell them and listen."

A general stood up, "My lord, this person's origin is unknown, and what he said should not be trusted, but just in case, I suggest that this person be taken down first, and then send a team of people to chase after him to find out the situation." Several people immediately Seconded, and please lead troops to go.

Zhang Wei: "The men and horses brought by Lin Yun are almost gone, how can you catch up?"

Ye Nian's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, she didn't expect that it would be Lin Yun who led the raid on Tiandu Mountain this time, if the Xixia army set up an ambush, Lin Yun would be indirectly killed by her if something happened to Lin Yun, how could she be worthy of Uncle Lin?How could Lin Bo bear the pain of losing his son again?Thinking of his face, he couldn't help showing some anxiety, and just about to speak, he suddenly heard Xiao Feng beside him say, "Master Zhang, it may be too late to lead the troops to chase at this time, but if one person rides a fast horse alone, it may not be impossible to catch up, I wish to go to warn General Lin .”

Zhang Wei was a little surprised, before he could speak, the next young military officer stood up and said loudly, "My lord, the general is willing to go with him in the end!"

Seeing that the person who spoke was Guo Cheng, Zhang Yi was even more surprised. He thought that this person is young and mature, and has always been calm. There must be a reason for making such a request. He asked, "Do you believe what he said?"

"I believe him!" Guo Cheng looked at Xiao Feng and laughed loudly, "Hero Xiao, do you still remember that you met a Song soldier who was besieged by Xia army in Qingcheng, Huanzhou five years ago?"

Xiao Feng was startled, recalled a little, vaguely remembered this matter, and asked, "Is the general who leads the army surnamed Guo?"

"That's right." Guo Cheng smiled, "That's my elder brother Guo Kui, my name is Guo Cheng, our team of more than [-] people was besieged by Xia's army in Qingcheng at that time, if it wasn't for your help, how could we escape safely. "

A person next to him laughed, "Did he save more than 300 of you by himself? How many Xia Bing were there then?"

Guo Cheng glanced at the man, "Three hundred Xia soldiers." Seeing the contemptuous expression on the man's face, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and added, "It's a troop of iron kite cavalry."

The man's expression froze, and the faces of the rest of them did not change color when they heard the words.The iron kite is a cavalry unit founded by Xixia Li Yuanhao.This cavalry is composed of the most brave and skilled fighters selected by the party soldiers, equipped with excellent equipment and tall horses, and there are also fine iron armors on the vital parts of the horses. Even if they die in battle, they will not fall off the horse and destroy the formation. They are extremely lethal and fast in combat.For the Northwest Army, which is good at fighting in the mountains, it would undoubtedly be a nightmare to face the Xixia iron kite cavalry on the plain.

Zhang Wei was slightly moved when he heard the words, "He alone held back the three hundred Xixia cavalry?"

"Xiao Daxia beheaded twenty or thirty cavalrymen one after another, and the iron kite retreated by itself." Seeing the shocked and disbelieving expressions on everyone's faces, Guo Cheng couldn't help but wryly smiled.After many years, he still remembered that man broke into the cavalry of the Xia army alone, like a swimming dragon, with a sword light that was cold and stunning, but took people's lives one after another like a god of killing. But he was also inferior to him by three points, so he could only avoid it in a hurry.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how could he believe it? He clasped his fists and said solemnly, "My lord, Mr. Zhong, the appeasement envoy of Huanqing Road, also knows about this matter, so I don't dare to talk nonsense."

Zhang Wei nodded slowly, looked at him, "I believe you."

"Thank you, my lord." Guo Cheng: "Hero Xiao is such a loyal and patriotic person, how could he fabricate the enemy situation indiscriminately? I believe that what he said just now must have a basis, and I am willing to go with him to find out the truth. I hope that my lord will agree." .”

Zhang Yi is not a person who hesitates, let alone the situation is urgent at this time, so he dispatched a fast horse and allowed the two to go together. The rest of the generals listened to Guo Cheng's words and thought about it in their hearts, but no one raised any objections. .

Guo Cheng, Xiao Feng, and Ye Nian resigned first and went out.Guo Cheng saw that the two seemed to have something to say, so he went to the city gate and waited first.

Xiao Feng said to Ye Nian, "You don't have to worry, I will bring your second brother back safely."

Ye Nian sighed slightly, squeezed his hand and said, "I want you to come back safely."

"I know." Xiao Feng smiled, without wasting any more time, took the horse led by the soldiers, turned on his back, reined in the horse, and rushed out of the city.

Xiao Feng and Guo Cheng hurried all the way, and after crossing the Wuyan Gorge for another half an hour, they finally caught up with Lin Yun's troops five miles in front of the valley where Xia Jun might have set up an ambush.

Lin Yun didn't recognize Xiao Feng, but he had to believe Guo Cheng's words.He pondered for a while, and decided to send a team to the valley to investigate first, but he heard someone say, "Wait a minute!"

One person rode over, it was Zhang Qiheng, the captain of Fujun, and said to Lin Yun, "This place is more than 60 miles away from Tiandu Mountain, and it will take at least three or four hours to get there. Master Zhang ordered us to raid overnight. If you mistakenly It's time, have you thought about the consequences?"

Lin Yun: "If the Xia army in the valley in front of us really set up an ambush, let alone the surprise attack, we are afraid that our lives will be lost here."

Zhang Qiheng snorted, "It turns out that General Lin is afraid of losing his life." He glanced at Guo Cheng and Xiao Feng, "I also heard what General Guo said just now, but they are just rumors, how can you trust them?"

Lin Yun frowned slightly, "Whether it's the truth or rumors, we can only find out through investigation. Master Zhang said so, is he going to gamble with the lives of these two thousand brothers?"

Zhang Qiheng laughed loudly, "I joined the army to kill the enemy in order to protect the family and the country. I have already put personal life and death behind me. I believe that none of these two thousand brothers is afraid of death, right!" He yelled loudly, and got a response from the nearby soldiers, his face flashed with color, and he raised his arms and shouted, "Brother who is not afraid of death, go ahead with me, let's go kill the party and everyone is caught off guard!" Some Song soldiers followed behind him one after another.

Lin Yun knew that this person had always been aggressive and greedy for merit, but he didn't expect him to be so disregarding the overall situation, he was slightly angry in his heart, and wanted to stop shouting.Guo Cheng narrowed his eyes, and was about to jump up from the horse, but was held down by Xiao Feng, "General Guo, what do you want to do?"

Guo Cheng sneered, "Hero Xiao, you don't know this person, so it's useless to talk to him, it's better to knock him unconscious, so as to save these people from following him to die in vain."

Xiao Feng smiled slightly, "I'll go." Putting his toes on the stirrups, he passed a group of soldiers and knocked Zhang Qiheng unconscious, the man fell off the horse without a snort, Xiao Feng held his collar with one hand , Throwing it to the soldiers who came behind him.

Lin Yun was startled, and immediately shouted at the soldiers who wanted to do something in the riot. He had led the troops for a long time, and he was known for his power. In addition, without Zhang Qiheng's instigation at this time, the people under his command gradually calmed down.

Guo Cheng knew that Xiao Feng's move was for his own good, and if there was an accident, he would not be blamed for any crimes in the future, he was grateful in his heart, and immediately rushed forward and said, "Hero Xiao, if you offend him, I'm afraid he will I'll trouble you later."

Xiao Feng smiled indifferently, "Xiao is just a martial artist, not a member of the imperial court, how could he easily trouble me." Turning to Lin Yun, he said, "General Lin, this matter should not be delayed any longer, please make a decision as soon as possible."

Seeing his extraordinary skills and decisive shots, Lin Yun admired him a little, nodded to him, and then sent ten soldiers led by him and Guo Cheng to investigate in the valley first.

A group of people rode lightly in plain clothes, made a cup of tea, abandoned their horses a few hundred meters in front of the valley, and groped quietly in the dark, but saw the twinkling stars in the night sky between the two mountains, it was difficult to avoid people's eyes and ears , but the side mountain wall is extremely steep, and it is difficult for more than ten people to climb it in a short time.

Xiao Feng looked up for a while, then said to Guo Chengdao, "I'll go up alone to explore first, you guys stay here for a while." He tucked the hem of his clothes into his belt, climbed up, and fell into the darkness in an instant.

Guo Cheng took two steps back and forth, but he couldn't stay still. He picked out an agile soldier to follow, and ordered the others to stay on the spot and chase after him.When I got to the top of the mountain, I found that there were many huge stones staggered on the edge of the cliff, and one end of the bottom was supported by a thick wooden plank. You only need to pull the wooden plank, and the huge stone will roll down the mountain. There are several tents not far from here. Obviously there are Xia soldiers stationed.

Guo Cheng's heart trembled, some cold sweat broke out on his back, and he walked to Xiao Feng's side, "Xia Jun really set a trap here."

Xiao Feng signaled him to keep silent, stretched out his finger and pointed in a certain direction, Guo Cheng turned his head slightly to the right, only then saw a famous Xixia soldier standing beside a boulder, holding a lantern in his hand, with his arms raised high He gestured forward.Turning my head to look, I saw a little light on the opposite mountain, which soon disappeared.

The Xixia soldiers lowered their heads and blew out the candles in the lantern, sat down where they were, and put the lantern aside casually.At this time Xiao Feng suddenly rushed out, his palm split on the back of the man's neck, the man immediately fell limp to the ground.Then he turned around and said to Guo Cheng who was following up, "I have just visited, there are about fifty Xia soldiers on this side of the mountain, let's deal with these people first. In addition, you need to send one person to stay here. Anyone who is on the opposite side As for the actions, we should learn how to deal with Xia Bing just now, and we must not let people find out the abnormality."

Guo Cheng nodded in response, and whispered some instructions to the soldiers next to him, when he turned his head, he saw Xiao Feng had rushed towards the tents very quickly, leaned over and stretched out two fingers to put on that Xia Bing's neck, Slowly showing some smiles, this person is decisive in killing, how can he be a kind-hearted and soft-hearted person?He was too worried, and hurriedly unfolded his body and rushed up.
