    A large army of soldiers and horses surged through the Fen River Valley. It had not rained for a long time. When the soldiers and horses passed by, yellow dust and smoke filled the sky.  On both sides of the official road, there were groups of refugees who crossed Kelan Mountain and fled into the territory of Ninghua Army.  These refugees, who were supporting the elderly and the young, hid on both sides of the official road as the army passed by. They stood numbly in the smoke and dust, watching the Song army pass by.  The refugees who came south from the Ninghua Army border area were also among them.  Compared with those who escaped from Kelan's army, they saw the army and horses rolling by, and occasionally let out one or two low cheers.  This army was running fast, swirling smoke and dust, with people shouting and horses neighing, and everyone working bravely.  Everyone's face is full of exhaustion, but every soldier is in high spirits. Even if they just look at it from the side, they know that from top to bottom, this army and horse can't wait to rush to the most tragic battlefield immediately, and then go into battle to kill!  The refugees who escaped from Kelan's army experienced the pain of the defenders being disbanded upon hearing the news, and their trust in the Song Dynasty's army and horses has been reduced to the lowest level.  But I didn't expect to see such high morale and unmistakable military horses in the Ninghua Army, and everyone was confused.  Although the refugees from the Ninghua Army who were equally tired around them were also on the run, compared to the refugees from the Kelan Army, they had complete families and carried more belongings.  Some of the cars were even loaded with pots and pans, making it look like they were moving with ease.  Seeing the appearance of the refugees from the Kelan Army, I felt proud and explained from the sidelines.  "This is the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army! To the west, the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army had to go south to intercept it, but it still blocked the Tatars in the north. The Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army is about to withdraw, and we don't want to be ruined by the Tatars. Naturally  We had to leave. But finally the whole family came down safely!¡±  It was Han Shizhong who personally led one.  And when it¡¯s time to follow the path.  In fact, the morale of this army is far from as high as it is now.  In the past few days, Han Shizhong rushed here and there, trying his best to arrange and dispatch his troops and horses to deal with the crisis in Hedong caused by the Jurchen army breaking through the border from Kelan's army.  "Compared with Yue Fei, who is very involved in everything in the army, from leading the troops to fight, to training the troops and maintaining strict military discipline, and even checking the logistics and supply matters.  Han Shizhong has always been known in the military for his bravery, boldness, a little looseness and even a bit of enjoyment.  For Yue Fei, everyone in the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army respected and feared him, and did not dare to look down upon his still young age.  I just admire King Yan¡¯s vision.  How could such a person be promoted from the humble Hebei warriors!  Regarding Han Shizhong, many people feel that it was because King Yan used Han Shizhong so highly in order to win over people from the Western Army of the Old Shenwu Changsheng Army.  In terms of true ability, many generals may be superior to him.  However, Han Shizhong had a universal temperament. In the army, he could even sit on the ground and have a carefree chat with the lowest-ranking soldiers. This veteran's ruffian demeanor was very popular with the army.  It effectively reconciled Yue Fei's overly strict side.  Although everyone felt that Han Shizhong was not necessarily a qualified army commander, they kept it in their hearts.  Anyway, Old Shenwu's ever-victorious army is well-equipped, with strong generals like clouds, elite soldiers like rain, and a hard-working and powerful deputy like Yue Fei.  There's really nothing to worry about when it comes to fighting.  But when the situation suddenly turned so critical, everyone saw what Han Shizhong was capable of!  In crisis.  However, Han Shizhong still had that careless and indifferent temperament, which immediately stabilized the morale of the army.  Moreover, a series of arrangements were made quickly and steadily without any panic.  First, he personally led the vanguard south and attacked from the direction of Kugu Village. Even though he did not defeat Honggu Village, he still blocked the gap.  And quickly established a solid defense line on the front line of Kugu Village.  The second step was to immediately detach Du Ruhu and Wei Dagong from the vanguard troops, one to rush to Loufan and the other to Taiyuan.  Although they were all just cavalry under one command, they would all come in handy in future wars.  Finally, Niu Gaoqu Gai was immediately sent to lead a group of troops to the northern front to convey his general order.  Shrink the northern border defense line, retreat one by one, squeeze out the troops and horses, and quickly move south.  The troops and horses drawn from the north had just arrived, and Han Shizhong led them non-stop to aid Taiyuan.  Han Shizhong accurately grasped the key point. When the Jurchen army desperately moved south, extending its flanks to carry out a far-reaching attack.  The most important thing is to ensure the key point of Taiyuan first!  At the same time, the rest of the troops went south, and Han Shizhong ordered Kugu Village to be the assembly point.  After rectifying a certain amount of strength, they decisively attacked westward and continued to attack Honggu Village.  On the one hand, arrangements were made everywhere to secure key points on the west flank of the Shenwu Evervictorious Army, while at the same time returning to rescue Taiyuan.  At the same time, they also launched a counterattack, preparing to break through from Hongguzhai. The Tatars could attack the flanks of the Shenwu Evervictorious Army. Han Shizhong was also unceremoniously preparing to attack the flanks of the Jurchen Tatar army!  What comes and goes is the truth.  Han Shizhong arranged the mobilization of tens of thousands of troops quickly and steadily.  Only at this time did the soldiers under his commandIt can be seen that Po Han Wu didn't have the talent to lead an army?  When it comes to sophistication, he might even outdo Yue Fei!  Although Han Shizhong has tried his best to make arrangements, Yue Fei must have made some moves.  However, the person in charge of Taiyuan Prefecture was Wu Min, who was half-hearted, and Han Shizhong did not trust him very much.  Li Zhong, who stayed behind at the back camp in Taiyuan, was not a strong person who could stand alone.  If they are all like tigers and cannot stabilize the building, and the Jurchen Tatar soldiers advance directly to the gates of Taiyuan City, then Wu Min and others will be as shocked as the officers and soldiers and civilians of Kelan's army in Lanzhou, but what should they do?  At that time, Wei Dagong only had a cavalry command, and Wei Dagong's status was not very high. Even if he could arrive in time, what use would it be used for?  If Taiyuan falls, everything will really come to an end.  How many percent of Shenwu's ever-victorious army can charge out is considered a blessing from heaven!  "Zhi Niang thief really misjudged the Zhe family army!"  My heart is extremely anxious, and I am even more worried about the future.  But Han Shizhong still tried his best to suppress these emotions in his heart.  Since the army under his command went south, there has been no chance to breathe.  The men and horses were all exhausted, and no matter how frantically they urged, the speed could not be increased.  King Yan is now estimated to have crossed the Yellow River at most, and is only a few hundred miles away from Taiyuan Mansion. Yue Fei is also further away from Taiyuan Mansion than himself. At this time, he is the only one, Han Shizhong, to clean up the situation. In such a dangerous situation, he cannot be seen by his troops.  The slightest trace of panic!  Even though Han Shizhong behaved as usual.  But Shenwu's ever-victorious army is up and down.  They are all veterans who have fought many battles in the past two years.  How can you not know what the current situation is like?  On the way.  Han Shizhong has prayed secretly countless times.  ¡°I hope Wu Min still has the moral integrity of the Song Dynasty, and I hope Li Zhong can change his past too gentle temper and use decisive measures to suppress the situation in Taiyuan.  I hope those two boys Du Ruhu and Wei Dagong can play a role that exceeds the strength of their troops.  I hope Taiyuan will still be there when his army arrives!  "On the first day or two of the journey, these thousands of troops just gritted their teeth and hurried on, and the faces of the officers and soldiers were gloomy.  From front to back, except for the occasional sound of horses neighing, there was no sound.  It turns out that Shenwu's ever-victorious army always has high morale when it goes out to fight.  Not as good as before.  Being in the army, I only feel an inexplicable depression!  With morale like this, Han Shizhong had no good solution.  You can't just lie to your subordinates with lies, right?  Moreover, Han Shizhong also believed that even though the morale in the army was gloomy now, when it came to battle, even if Taiyuan had fallen and the Shenwu Ever-victorious Army was isolated in the north, this army would still fight to the last soldier in this desperate situation.  !  And such a low mood suddenly changed after a group of messengers coming from Taiyuan Prefecture met this group of people heading south on the way.  The king of Yan came to Taiyuan with ease.  Wu Min, the commander of Benzhijie, was killed and most of the soldiers and civilians returned.  Defend Taiyuan.  And all the men and horses were sent out by King Yan to help Loufan!  Suddenly, the morale of the army suddenly rose.  Sure enough, it was King Yan who stepped forward and saved the situation with his own hands at this critical moment!  All confusion and uneasiness disappeared at this moment.  As long as King Yan arrives, the war in Hedong will be fought with the Jurchen Tatars!  The Jurchen Tatars were in the building, so we fought with the Jurchen Tatars in the building.  The Jurchen Tatars are in Taiyuan, and we will fight to the death with them in Taiyuan!  The marching speed, which was already quite fast, suddenly accelerated again.  Everyone is gritting their teeth and following the brigade. They just want to reach Taiyuan as soon as possible and return to the command of King Yan as soon as possible!  The smoke and dust are swirling, and the sound of hooves is like thunder.  Suddenly, several more knights came rushing towards them from the south. The knights carried flags on their backs, which was exactly the style of rushing troops in Shenwu's ever-victorious army.  Han Shizhong didn't wait for his guards to pass the message, so he rode up to meet him personally.  These knights also saw the torrent of the army heading south from a distance, and slowed down their horses.  Seeing Han Shizhong approaching, several people rolled off their saddles and dismounted, bowed and saluted.  Han Shizhong reined in his mount in front of them and said impatiently: "The military situation is urgent. Where did the Tuduo Bird Ceremony come from? What's going on in Taiyuan?" The knight looked up, with a face full of sweat and dust, full of excitement.  "A great victory in Loufan! The Jurchen vanguard, since Yin Shu can surrender, the whole army was wiped out under Loufan city! King Yan has more orders, which are passed to Han Shuai!" Han Shizhong suddenly felt that his ears were wrong.  A great victory in Loufan?  It¡¯s just a small city, and it¡¯s not easy to hold it before the Jurchens attack.  Furthermore, even if King Yan had sent Li Zhong to help, Wei Dagong might have been sent away.  It was good to repel the Jurchen soldiers and horses, but the result was that the silver skills could be reduced and the entire army was annihilated?  Next to Han Shizhong is Cong Zhongsi, the commander of the left wing of the Shenwu Evervictorious Army. He is four or five years older than Han Shizhong and is already considered a veteran in the Shenwu Evervictorious Army.  He has always had a calm temperament, but he couldn't care less about it at this time. He rushed to get in front of Han Shizhong.Question: "Lying about military information is an unforgivable crime! Why is it such a great victory?" The Chuanqi looked proud, patted his chest and said loudly: "General, how come you can't even defeat your own Shenwu victorious army?"  Can't believe it? General Cheng Cheng first entered the building and defended it. When the Jurchens launched a massive siege, the commander resolutely left the city to attack. Then reinforcements arrived. General Li attacked and the soldiers and civilians in the city also went out to fight to the death!  Of the 531 elite cavalrymen of our Shenwu Ever Victorious Army who died in the battle, there were only forty-seven injured! In this way, after the last group of infantry arrived on horseback, the already timid and exhausted Jurchen army was intercepted and surrounded.  The whole army was wiped out under the crossbow! Li Yuhou died in the battle, and General Li in the city was seriously injured. After the battle, General Wei was too injured to move. We fought in front of King Yan.  A great victory has come! Now from Loufan to Taiyuan, it is impregnable!" This legend may have read a little, and his words were fluent and impassioned.  The heroic pride in his words was simply impossible to conceal.  Five hundred and thirty-one were killed in the battle, and only forty-seven were wounded.  This is about the time Lou Fan and the three cavalry commanders that Taiyuan City could collect, fought hard to the point where they were completely destroyed.  That¡¯s why we had this great victory!  Several leading generals were either killed or seriously injured, no one was spared!  The King of Yan did not lose to the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, and the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army also did not lose to the King of Yan!  Even if they have never seen it in person, everyone can imagine the tragic and majestic victory of a great victory!  Cong Zhongsi was blocked by Chuanqi and went back, but he didn't care at all.  The hands holding the reins were shaking, and suddenly he shouted loudly: "Great victory at Loufan!" The guards around Han Shizhong and Cong Zhongsi had already been so excited that the veins in their necks were beating. At this time, Cong Zhongsi lost his temper and yelled, and all the guards  They were all excited and cheered loudly.  "Great victory in Loufan!" When the follow-up team heard the cheers, they couldn't believe it at first and then fell silent for a moment.  Then countless weapons were raised like a forest, and everyone shouted at the top of their lungs.  Apart from these four words, it seemed that nothing else could be said.  Great victory in Loufan!  The cheers were like thunder, shaking the whole country.  It rumbled away like spring thunder.  Amidst this thunder, the heavy dark clouds that had been shrouding the battlefield in Hedong since the Jurchens went south were torn to pieces at this moment!  Han Shizhong's hands were shaking. He took a deep breath before he managed to stabilize himself. He stretched out his hand and said, "Where are King Yan's military orders?" The knight took off the leather box on his back and placed his hands in front of Han Shizhong.  Han Shizhong opened the leather box, tore open the waterproof silk bag in the box, and issued military orders. Above the military orders, Xiao Yan's signature was clearly visible.  The text of the military order is extremely concise.  The writing is as hard as iron, which is exactly what Zongze personally wrote to Xiao Yan.  "Loufan has been conquered, and I am alone in Taiyuan. There is no need to worry about the way back. If you are on the way, return north immediately, gather your troops at Ninghua Junku Valley Village, attack westward, and seize the Tartar flank. Your Majesty should hurry up within ten days.  At that time, the imperial command was sent to summon the Western Army to attack the Tartars outside the river. Four more cavalry were dispatched to Taiyuan to prepare for the battle at Loufan. The Tartars were seriously injured.  Even if the captives are strong, they will not be able to return north if they are alone!" Han Shizhong slowly handed the general order to Cong Zhongsi: "Old Cong, all the cavalry in this army are still going to Taiyuan.  Listen to King Yan's instructions. I will go back to Kuguzhai and fight to the death with the Jurchen Tatars! King Yan will have a decisive battle with the Jurchen Tatars in the east of the river!" Cong Zhongsi glanced at the military order and nodded heavily:  "See you on the day of the decisive battle!" Amid the still thunderous cheers, Han Shizhong laughed loudly and returned the military orders, which were all to be handed over to the military Sima for archiving.  When the horse is beaten, he will turn around with his bodyguard.  "Under Han Shizhong's rough appearance, he actually has a very clever temperament.  This simple military order made Han Shizhong understand a lot.  Loufan could not be defeated, so the Jurchens marched south with a large army of troops.  In the east are the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army and the Shenwei Army that are about to go north, and in the west are the main forces of the Western Army.  Being attacked from both sides.  It can be said that the situation of the battle against Zonghan's Jurchen West Route Army has been completed.  At that time, we only need to welcome the imperial commander into Taiyuan, and order the Western Army to assemble a large group and advance in coordination with the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army and the Shenwei Army.  It was a decisive battle that could decide the fate of the war in Hedong.  I don¡¯t know what the outcome of this decisive battle will be in the future. At least the Hedong war situation has passed the crisis.  And Xiao Yan focused all his attention on the battlefield in Hedong.  Now I am afraid that I will not care about Hebei for a while. I can only gamble that after solving Hedong, the Hebei defense line has not been broken, at least not to be beaten by the Jurchen Tatars across the Yellow River.  "I hope this chariot can be put to use, and the Western Army can listen to the order, create a favorable decisive battle situation as soon as possible, and solve Zong Han!"  This is a national war that determines destiny. With Xiao Zhong¡¯s wisdom, he can¡¯t fail to understand this, right? ?? Straight bitch, don¡¯t worry about it for now.For him, it¡¯s important to do your own thing well.  It is important to counterattack and capture Honggu Village first!  ??This Great Song Dynasty, don¡¯t give us any more accidents, just let King Yan lead soldiers like us to have a happy fight!  (To be continued) PS: I still haven¡¯t slept well and have a headache.  ¡°That¡¯s why I came out with a chapter so late, Oscar has already tried his best.  Be sure to adjust your condition as soon as possible and have an explosion!  Please give me a monthly ticket!  !  !  Chapter 98 of Volume 3: Mending Sky Split (Two: Chapter 98: Urgent Wind and Waves (2:
