"Neverdespair, neversurrender."

==============

On October 29, in Xixia territory, Lingzhou City.

The sun was blazing.Shot down on the head, compressing the figure on the ground into a short section.

Seeing that it was almost time to change shifts, the defenders were about to go downstairs, when they saw a group of cavalry running towards them from afar.Looking around, there are always about a hundred or so people in this team, dressed in the uniform of Xixia soldiers, with broken banners and disorganized lineup, they have arrived at the city in a short time.

"Who is it?" an officer asked in Xixia dialect.

The armor of these soldiers was broken, their bodies were covered in blood and dust, their men and horses were all exhausted, and they looked like a defeated army.A man galloped out of the middle, dressed as a general, his face was covered with dust, his lips were scorched and white, he got off the saddle, gasped for a while, and replied in a hiss in Xixia dialect: "We are guarding Mingsha. Liang Gewei's subordinates, the supervisor of the second left route!... Mingsha...has been broken by the Song army!"

As soon as he said this, the expressions of the guarding soldiers changed, and their hearts were shaken, and they all yelled "Ah".

Mingsha prefecture is backed by mountains and facing the river. The terrain is dangerous. It is the location of the extremely important millet of the Xia Kingdom. There are millions of stones of corn in the cellar.

The officer said in great pain: "The day before yesterday, I heard that Liu Changzuo led the Jingyuan army to attack the Moumian Pass. I only thought that his next step would be to go north to Daidailing and command Lingzhou. But I didn't want Liu Changzuo to cross the Qingshui River and go out In exchange for a reward, they took the northwest route and headed straight for Mingsha Prefecture! No defense was ever able to prevent it! This battle was so brutal, General Liang Gewei was unparalleled in bravery, and he killed countless Song dogs, but unexpectedly they had The generals were so powerful that they couldn't see the number of martial arts. General Liang joined up with a man before the battle, and taught him to slap him to death, and died for the country..."

When he said this, his voice was choked up, his shoulders trembled for a while, and after a long time he said: "...I led a hundred brothers under my command, rushed out desperately, and rushed all night to return." He bent his knees, He knelt down straight. "...Don't teach him to break Lingzhou City!"

Hearing these words, the officer guarding the city suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly ordered two sergeants to report to the tent, and at the same time ordered the guards to open the city gate and prepare to lower the drawbridge to welcome the rout troops into the city.Suddenly there was a sound of hooves.Looking up, I saw a wisp of dust and smoke from the sky rushing straight up to the clouds, wrapped in the dust and smoke, it was a group of Song soldiers galloping forward.

"There are pursuers!" The city guards shouted after seeing this.

It was Guo Cheng and his [-] forwards who came.

Five routes to attack Xia, Zhong Er led the Yanyan army, all the way like a broken bamboo, and Mi Zhi, seeing that he could take advantage of the remaining prestige to make another victory, but he was helpless because of food and grass.Li Ji, who is in charge of food and grass under Chong Jinglue, is extremely harsh and cruel. He beat, scolded and abused the peasants who transported the grain, and later forced the peasants to run away, with no one to carry the food and salaries. The old man can't advance or retreat slightly.

Liu Changzuo was more thoughtful than Zhong Er.He knew the importance of pay, but he also knew that Lu Fu and Peng Sun, who were slowly lingering behind the food and grass, could not be counted on. Instead, Dailing took a detour to take Mingsha Prefecture, which has a rich crop and fertile soil, for grain and grass.

He moved too fast. At this time, the Xixia army guarding Lingzhou didn't know that Mingsha had been broken. Liu Changzuo wanted to go all out and go down to Lingzhou. Therefore, Guo Cheng was ordered to stand still after the battle of Mingsha. Then he hurriedly marched to Lingzhou to try to attack first.

It is for this reason that this group of elite soldiers has never been in contact with the enemy, and they are not tired after a rapid march at this time.The cloud breaks, the sun shines directly, and the armor of the soldiers shines brightly. There are many spears, lined up in a square formation and advancing steadily. The momentum of the horse.

"Don't open the door!" Seeing the pursuers approaching, the defeated Xixia army in the city shouted generously: "We failed to defend Mingsha, and we cannot escape the guilt. With this guilty body today, we will die in battle and die for our country! "

As he said that, he wanted to turn the horse's head and go forward.

"Open the door! Let the drawbridge go!" At this moment, the city guard officer made a decisive decision, stopped them with a loud shout, and raised his hand to point to a general under the city: "Wei Mingshan! You lead 1000 people out to fight! Wanwan entangled Song Dog, stall for time to teach the brethren to go to town!"

When he gave an order, several soldiers rushed over and turned the winch together. With the sound of "cracking", the suspension bridge was gradually lowered.

It was too late and then too soon, Guo Cheng had already led his army to the city.

The heavy city gate slowly opened a line.When the door opened, a general in white robes rode a tiger and zebra horse on his crotch, and led his army out at a gallop, spreading out in formation to cover the small group of defeated Xixia troops entering the city.

"Shooting the vanguard, Erlang, listen to the order! Come with me! Those who kill the enemy in front of the battle today will be rewarded with [-] guan for each head! The first to go to the city will be rewarded with [-] rewards!" Guo Cheng sternly said.

Hearing of this great reward, all the front-runners were refreshed.The two elite divisions collided head-on like this, and they fought so loudly that there were shouts everywhere, and the sky was dark.Behind the Xixia army is the open Lingzhou city gate, there is no way to retreat, and I know that today I will have to defend it with all my might. After fighting hard, although Guo Chengxuan's front army has half the number of people, there is no victory or defeat for a while.

Guo Cheng came to this battle to destroy the city, and replaced the painting sampan with less practical performance in his hand with a light steel heavy green long spear, which he swung lightly.Charged in formation, he had no time to free his hands to hold the reins. He only relied on his extremely superb riding skills to control the forward and steering of the mount with his waist strength and stirrups. In the middle, left and right, rushing to the right, calling out orders when you have time.

This team of Xixia cavalry is also extremely good, fighting and retreating, leading Guo Chengxuan's vanguard to slowly move within the reach of the city gate defenders' arrows.Guo Cheng knew it was a tactic to feign defeat, so he watched intently for a while, when Hu Lema stopped and waved his hand.At the place where the messenger waved the red command flag, the offensive of the forward selection army stopped immediately, and no one advanced.

"But what kind of trick is this?"

Wei Mingshan was stunned for a moment, he was uncertain, when he suddenly saw a firework bomb protruding from Guo Cheng's formation, flying into the air, and exploded with a "bang".

"There is an ambush!" Wei Mingshan was startled, he pulled his horse and wanted to lead his troops back into the city gate, but it was too late.The sound of killing from the left and right shook the sky, and the two Song armies descended from the sky. They galloped past the city and outflanked them. The flags and flags were flying, cutting off their way of retreating into the city.The leader of the army is a young general, riding a white horse, galloping behind the formation, wearing a chain of plain armor, with picturesque eyes and a stern expression, it is Murong Fu.

Seeing this scene on the city gate, the guarding officer felt a "hum" in his head, and felt cold sweat trickling down his back.They only relied on the fortification of Lingzhou City, but they never expected that Liu Changzuo would go down to the second city and send out surprise soldiers.Except for a team of archers, the city gate is not equipped with any defense equipment today.

At this time, a small group of rout troops had all entered the city, only the remaining 1000 troops were trapped by Murong Fu's army under the city.

"Fire the arrows!" the guard officer hissed and ordered. "Close the city gate!"

Guo Cheng only waited for his words, shook his spear, and shouted: "Choose Feng Erlang! Follow me into the city!"

The two thousand soldiers of the Xuanfeng Army shouted, ignoring the arrows shot down from the city gate, and rushed towards the slowly closed Lingzhou city gate like a tide.

Murong Fu swung his long sword to parry several arrows that hit him, and gave an order: "Shield bearers come out!"

Separated in front of the formation, a team of shield players held up the rattan iron shields, hurried forward, raised the shields high, and blocked a burst of offensives.

"Follow me, the cavalry! Cover the vanguard army and break the city!" Murong Fuqing shouted, unsheathed his long sword, and pointed straight ahead.Where the flag was waved, the cavalry mobilized upon hearing the wind, jumped out on horseback, and fought with a thousand Xixia troops outside the city, immediately forming a restraining trend.After he was cut off, the vanguard army was unhindered at this time, like a tiger out of the cage, it ignored the arrows from the city and rushed towards the city gate with its head buried.

Murong Fu held the long sword in his hand, leaped his horse in front of the formation, shouted and commanded, and defended the Xixia army to death, no matter how much they rushed from left to right, they couldn't move forward an inch.

In the midst of a fierce battle, at this moment, I suddenly saw a horse riding from the sky, and immediately there was a handsome flag with a white background and red teeth, and the word "Gao" in a big book.Immediately carrying a soldier on his back, not in Jing Yuan's uniform, at this moment he shouted at Murong Fu from a distance:

"Two generals! Wait a minute and attack the city!"

At this time, the Song army and the Xixia army were fighting in a regiment, but they were all surprised by the sudden change.Being interrupted by him, several Song soldiers lost their minds and were cut down by the enemy.

"General Murong! Gao Zunyu has an order! Do not attack the city!"

The envoy had already galloped closer, he reined in his horse and stopped, as if he didn't dare to rush in, he only shouted from a distance outside the battle formation.

Murong Fu saw that the situation was not good, he made a decisive decision immediately, he jumped up with his long body, with his toes pointing a little on the horse's back, he has lightly landed behind the saddle of the person, his long sword turned into a blade, and rested on the person's neck.

"Who are you?" he shouted. "How dare you lie before the battle, scare me, and disturb our army's morale?"

When he speaks, he gathers energy in his dantian, every word is sent out with internal force, although his voice is not loud, it reaches every soldier's ears clearly.

"I... I... I was commanded by Gao Zunyu... sent to deliver orders to the two generals!" Before he could clearly see his movements, a long sword that was as bright as autumn water was already on his neck, and the man was frightened and said He couldn't explain clearly, and while he was talking, he reached out his hand tremblingly to find a cylinder in his cuff, and lifted it up like a sieve.

Murong Fu took it, and took out the military order Zhanxin from the tube with one hand to see, it was indeed Gao Zunyu's handwritten order, ordering Liu Changzuo to retreat quickly and not to attack Lingzhou City without authorization.He looked at it three times in a row, and the seal and wax seal looked as if they were there. He knew that it was not forged by someone else, so he sneered and threw the general order to the ground. Walk.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the city gate of Xixia saw that the strong enemy of the Xuanfeng army was coming, and they were pushing the gate with all their strength, yelling repeatedly, trying to make it close, but the two wooden gates were so heavy that a dozen people could not work together quickly. There is no time to close it, but Guo Cheng is seen from a distance, but he has already rushed to the front of the formation.

"That's all!" Seeing this, the guarding officer couldn't help but let out a long sigh, knowing that today's life-and-death battle might be inevitable.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a white horse riding out from the slanting stab, rushing to the front of the city gate, reining in the horse and stopping, single-handedly, blocking Guo Cheng's way.

"Murong!" Guo Chengshi exclaimed. "What are you doing!"

At this time, he had already rushed to Murong Fu, and he was about to bump into him when he was too late, but Murong Fu had already moved ahead of him, he raised the rein and rode his horse towards him, with the long sword in his hand twisted like a flower, under the sunlight. In a blink of an eye, there was a clear sound of "铛", and at the moment when Erqi passed by, he fought with Guo Cheng's long gun.

Guo Cheng never expected that he would fight with him, so he reined in his horse and took a few steps back to stabilize his castration.Shocked, hurt, angry, and puzzled, he shouted angrily: "Murong Fu! You must be crazy!"

"Gao Zunyu sent an order not to attack the city." Murong Fu spoke calmly and word by word. "Guo Cheng, retreat."

"Lingzhou City is about to fall!" Guo Cheng roared angrily, not willing to listen to the word "retreat".

Murong Fu didn't wait for him to speak any more, he urged his horse forward, and swung out his long sword.If Qiao Feng was present, he would be able to recognize that this was a move of "Huo Family Sword Art" to "quiet the fight".The sect of the founder of Huo Jiajian has long been annihilated. It is an ordinary entry-level martial art, not a top-notch swordsmanship, but in the hands of Murong Fu, it has a certain degree of opening and closing, and its moves are dense. In a hurry.

Seeing that the two generals of one's own side were fighting together in front of the formation, although the selection of the forward army had strict military discipline, it was also confused for a while, and they didn't know whether to help each other, and if so, whom to help.

They were in a mess, at a loss, when they saw Yao Lin and Liu Changzuo's soldiers rushing towards them, shouting at them all the way from the horseback:

"Murong Fu! Guo Cheng! Stop! Liu Qian has an order! Don't attack according to armor! Don't attack according to armor!"

Guo Cheng's heart trembled when he heard this, the long spear in his hand had already made half a move, and at this moment he forcibly retracted it.

When Murong Fu saw Yao Linchi approaching, he had already put away his sword move with a flick of his long sword, and jumped out of the battle circle on his horse.He didn't wait for Yao Lin to come, and he didn't have time to look at Guo Cheng, so he galloped straight to gather his soldiers.

Guo Cheng stared blankly at his receding back for a while, the expression in his eyes was sad and angry at the same time.

With Murong Fu disrupting the situation, the attack of the frontline army stopped, and the gate of Xixia city was closed tightly at this moment, keeping them out of the city.The fleeting and incomparably precious opportunity to destroy the city was wasted helplessly.

Guo Cheng knew that the situation was over.He let out a long sigh, closed his eyes tightly, then opened them, and gave the order to retreat.

On the top of the city, the Xixia military officer guarding the city gate saw the place where the Song army's banner was raised, thousands of troops retreated like a tidal wave, leaving only Wei Mingshan in front of the formation and a group of people looking at each other.

He let out a long breath, only then realized that the cold sweat had soaked through his clothes.
