    A large group of cavalry covered in mud hurriedly entered the village gate. The first one to ride was Zhe Keqiu, the contemporary head of the Zhe family, who was worshiped as a god by the children of the Zhe family.  Although the situation was extremely critical, Zhe Keqiu still rode steadily on the horse, his eyes half-squinted, and there was no sign of panic.  The Zhe family sergeant who was left behind in the stronghold calmed down even though he was a little flustered and frightened when he saw the master of the family looking like this.  The Zhe family originated from the borderlands, and since the Five Dynasties, they have been caught between various forces.  Both the Khitan and Dangxiang have experienced life-and-death battles to survive to this day.  No matter how difficult the situation is, we have experienced it. The Jurchen Tatars have intercepted the retreat, but the tens of thousands of troops are still intact, so what is there to fear?  Moreover, Zhe Keqiu had brought many people and horses. In addition to the hundreds of horsemen who always followed his bodyguards, the follow-up people and horses were still coming in a steady stream.  The children of the family army brought everything they could.  There are more than 2,000 people returning to help at this moment, and there must be an endless stream of children of the Zhe family coming from behind.  If Yan Yan's army responds in time and the army returns, no matter whether it can defeat the Jurchen Tatars who intercept the retreat, there will be great confidence that the main force of the entire army can break out of this dead place!  The commander who stayed at the military camp here is named Zhe Yansi, and his bloodline is not far from the main branch of the Zhe family.  Being able to lead troops, endure hardship, and fight has always been highly valued.  He was waiting at the gate of the village early. When he saw Zhe Keqiu entering the village first, he bowed and came down: "Fortunately, the master is here! There is a general sitting in charge. The general will ask for a team of troops to patrol westward and try to copy.  Cut off the quality of the Jurchen Tatars in our rear, and give the general some time to arrange the defense here!" The military camp here was originally just a command infantry station and some military supplies.  Large enough to accommodate some transit workers.  Now when the army returns to the enemy, it must block the Jurchen Tatars' rear attack here.  There might be tens of thousands of people fighting here.  A new military stronghold must be built quickly.  Selecting key points to deploy troops and horses takes time.  Zhe Yansi asked himself to lead a cavalry army to march westward, put up a warning curtain, and fought with the Jurchen Tatars who were coming in a fierce manner. Even if he risked his life, he still had to buy enough time for the army led by the general!  This loyal and brave expression was unmoved, but he jumped off the horse and stretched his muscles.  He casually wiped the rainwater on his face and said: "Why are you panicking! I'm going to test the quality of the Jurchen Tatars. Naturally, a certain relative should go there. You always lead infantry troops. Can you hold your position? You're so careless.  Heavy!" This sentence blocked Zhe Yansi's loyal and courageous invitation to fight, and Zhe Yansi bowed his head and accepted the order.  But the admiration for the general in his heart became deeper and deeper.  He is worthy of being the head of the family who leads our family of nearly ten thousand men, but when it comes to war, he just goes forward and takes charge personally.  General Liu of the Yanyan Army had seen his luxurious ostentation at Hehe Jindu. Compared with our family master, he was like mud on the soles of his feet!  Zhe Keqiu has no intention of continuing towards the village.  After giving way to the entrance a little, we sat down on a deer wall inside the village gate that was used to divide the road.  (In the military stronghold, it is not all smooth sailing. Especially for the military stronghold where the infantry is stationed, there are also deer villages blocking it. On the one hand, it is used to divide the road, and on the other hand, it can continue to rely on the deer village after the village fence is breached.  Battle - Oscar press) "This team of men and horses will not enter. We will immediately arrange to feed the horses and drink water, and bring some hot drinks to Mr. and others. Then Mr. and Mrs. will personally lead the troops to explore the west post! You will be here to handle the follow-up.  Soldiers and horses, if any of the disciples of the family come here, and one of them is not allowed to eat hot food, or if one of them falls ill in your presence, you are the only one who will ask me!" "If a general acts like this and obeys his command, what else can he say?  All that is left in my heart is the desire to die.  Not to mention that his family name is Zhe!  Zhe Yansi loudly accepted the order: "General, please don't worry, but as long as I'm here, the son of the Zhe family is freezing and hungry. Before the general can be questioned, I will cut off my own head!" Zhe Keqiu nodded with satisfaction and looked at him.  He showed an extremely rare and gentle look: "I know that you juniors have not experienced any big battles in these years. They are just fighting with some bastards near the Zhuolun River. The Jurchen Tatars attacked in the rain.  Baili, attack Hehejindu in one fell swoop. It is expected that this posture will frighten you These veterans of the Zhejia family are not dead yet. As long as I am here, I can always take you juniors out safely.  !" "Somehow, this rare softening of the general only made Orihiko's eyes heat up, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.  After saluting, he turned around and strode away, calling his subordinates to bring hot food and purified water immediately, so that the cavalry brothers who had dismounted near the village gate could eat something hot and take a breather.  The cavalry of the Zhe family consciously did not enter the stronghold to rest. They just took a short breather and then headed west again to buy some time to accommodate and reorganize the brothers who came one after another in the mud.  The entire army was covered in mud and water, and the exhausted Zhejia infantry filed into the military camp as a whole.The brothers in the village had already vacated their camp tent, allowing them to rest and regain their strength.  White gas was rising from the pots and stoves in the camp, and the best food was being taken out, with pots and pots of hot food being poured out.  The military stronghold was in a state of turmoil, but the panic scene when they heard the news of their defeat was gone. Even if the Jurchen Tatars charged at this moment, these men of the family would not flinch to greet them. Under the leadership of the general like this,  Next, fight with the Tatars to the end!  When the infantry troops entered the camp and the cavalry troops took the time to rest, Zhe Keqiu just sat on the damp Luzhai wood without removing his armor. There were reports of many retreating troops from the front, and he only asked about the movements of the Jurchen Tatars.  These defeated troops included the children of the Zhe family army, the Yan Yan army, and even civilians.  They were all attacked suddenly and collapsed suddenly.  From the sporadic information obtained from their mouths, a veteran like Zhe Keqiu could tell that the situation was not good.  After the Jurchen's outstanding troops attacked Hehejindu, they did not rush eastward to encircle Yanyan's army.  Instead, they deployed their troops, one went down the river to sweep away various strongholds and sporadic ferries east of the river, and the other went west along the Kelan River to block the Kelan River.  The only remaining troops advanced slowly and cautiously, pulling out the strongholds left by the Yan Yan Army and the Zhejia Army on the back road.  It is precisely because of the strength of the Jurchen army that these defeated soldiers were allowed to flee all the way here!  The Jurchen men and horses took advantage of the heavy rain to attack Hehejin Crossing like thunder and lightning.  Sudden action.  After taking the key point of Hehejin Ferry, he advanced cautiously.  Spread the net.  This rhythm of using troops is simply superb.  If you capture Hehejin Ferry, turn around and head southeast.  Directly attack the main forces of the Yanyan Army and the Zhejia Army.  This Jurchen cavalry attacked in the rain and was already extremely exhausted. No matter how much animals the Tatars had, they couldn't hold it back.  If the main force of the Yan Yan Army and the Zhejia Army were to fight back desperately and try to seize a way out, they might still suffer losses and would no longer be able to block this army.  But now the pace is slowed down, the escape route is completely cut off, and the net is spread in all directions.  There is no rush to seek a decisive battle with Yan Yanjun.  Just a smart move.  Anyway, the way back is cut off, and the longer it is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be to the Yan Yan army and the Zhejia army, and the more the military morale will be shaken.  Moreover, this surprise force, which was just intercepting the retreat, slowed down its pace and was waiting for the female main force stationed in Yifang to press westward!  And they are not afraid that the main forces of the Yanyan Army and the Zhejia Army will return to open up a retreat.  Forty to fifty thousand horses stretched into a long snake on the road in the Weishui River Valley. It was raining and muddy. How could they be mobilized so easily?  Not to mention that the main force of the heroine will launch an offensive and counterattack in front of her!  The back road is cut off, and the heroine fights back hard in front of her.  The 40,000 to 50,000 horses and civilians of the Yan Yan Army and the Zhejia Army were increasingly weakened in this snare.  It became more and more shaky when the army finally collapsed.  This amazing force can just intercept and kill the collapsed army from behind without going through a bloody battle!  The more Zhe Keqiu listened to these military reports, the more gloomy his face became, and he frowned but said nothing.  After learning about the sudden military attack on the back road, Liu Guangshi, who had never rushed to the Central Army Camp in Hehe, immediately led his troops back and gathered the children of the Zhe family along the way.  They might as well be prepared to fight a hard battle to defeat the Jurchen army and horses in the back road, and regain control of the back road.  Although the Zhejia Army and the Yan Yan Army seemed to be somewhat in harmony with each other during this war, they are now trapped in this trap!  But now, if we fight with the Jurchen Tatars here, maybe the Zhejia Army will be buried with the Yan Yan Army!  In the rain, Zhe Keqiu's armored figure was sitting as precariously as a mountain. The eyes of the children of the Zhe family around him couldn't help but cast their gazes over, as if just seeing the figure of this family leader would make their military morale as stable as a mountain.  After sitting here for most of an hour, some people offered hot food and drinks, but Zhe Keqiu waved them away.  When the cavalry and horses of the group were almost out of breath and regained some energy and strength.  Zhe Kaqiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and gave a loud order.  "My sons, go west with a certain person to explore! Try the Jurchen Tatars! Let the sons who are rushing back rest for a moment longer!"  The old pawns who were over 20 years old took orders loudly and got on their horses one after another.  Weary after dozens of miles of hurriedly returning reinforcements, and facing the danger of an unprecedentedly powerful Jurchen army, everyone looked as normal, as if they were just going for a horseback ride in the spring.  Zhe Keqiu also got on his horse, and saw Zhe Yansi running over in a hurry, right in front of Zhe Keqiu's horse: "General, come back early, you are the mainstay of our Zhe family!" Zhe Keqiu smiled lightly, raised his hand and rowed.  He circled around: "Take good care of the children of the Zhe family! Try your best to receive and accommodate them. Again, there are hot food and hot drinks! If you fall down, I am asking you!" Zhe Yansi accepted the order again, and was immediately in trouble again.  He said: "There is plenty of food in the camp, but the space is limited. The men are coming one after another, but I'm afraid they can't accommodate it. Not to mention the army of Yan Yan and the civilians are also coming General, can you pass on a message?"  Give me orders so that I can give orders??So many men worked together and immediately built several military strongholds. This could not only accommodate troops, but also control the situation, and the defense was more stable!  " Zhe Keqiu glanced at him coldly: "You guys came here in the rain, how can you have such strength now?  There is no need to rush to build a military stronghold first!  We just need to take in our Zhejia sons first. No matter whether they are Yan Yanjun or civilians, you don¡¯t have to worry about them yet!  Anyone who enters the camp now will be driven out, leaving us alone to rest and recuperate!  ¡± Zheke asked for help in a hurry, gathering all the Zhejia troops along the way. Naturally, there were troops stationed by the Yanyan Army on this back road, and a large number of Kansai civilians who were blocked by the heavy rain. Driven by the rush of reinforcements from the Zhejia Army, many panicked  The bewildered people and horses also came, mingling with the Zhe family army. It took a lot of effort for Zhe Yansi to hear Zhe Keqiu's order, but of course it was a bit cruel now.  The most important thing is to maintain the combat power of Zhejia Army, even if it is a bit excessive, in Zhe Yansi's view, the combat power of Yan Yanjun is really looked down upon, and it is not up to us to fight in a bloody battle.  Zhejiajun? Since the fighting depends on our Zhejia disciples, then it makes sense that you, the Han civilians of the Yanyan Army, will have to suffer a little more. Zheyansi nodded solemnly and accepted the order: "Don't worry, General!"  I will wait here for the general to return, and I will definitely let our children rest and recuperate!  " Zhe Keqiu smiled at him comfortingly, whipped the horse hard, and the good horse from Hequ neighed, raised its hooves, and galloped away. Dozens of personal guards guarded him tightly, and more Zhe's Chinese cavalry followed behind.  Going west, there is a sense of majesty! In the camp, the soldiers and civilians of the Yanyan Army were driven out by Zhe Yansi himself. Although these soldiers and civilians of the Yanyan Army were not angry, they also knew what was happening.  You have to rely on the strength of the Zhe family army. Haven't you seen the head of the Zhe family come to the enemy in person? It seems that such a general is much more powerful than Liu Yanei, who is still in charge of Hehe County!  The soldiers and civilians who entered the camp walked out of the camp silently, and just sat down in the mud. They couldn't help but look at the backs of the hundreds of family members who were retreating in the distance. Their eyes were full of trust and sustenance.  Erlang, looking at the general's back, was full of pride ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Night slowly fell. On the fence of the military village where Zhe Yansi was sitting, a butter torch was lit, swaying in the cold wind and rain.  There was a faint yellow light. Inside and outside the camp, there were people and horses arriving one after another. Outside the camp, there was a crowd of soldiers and civilians from the Yanyan Army sitting in the rain and mud, obeying orders.  The waiting soldiers and civilians of the Yanyan Army were already digging trenches, building military camps, and building mats and tents. They did not disturb the Zhejia army at all except asking for some military food and drinks to ward off the cold.  Within a day, nearly 3,000 Zhejia troops arrived, and 6,000 Zhejia troops were stationed at the north of Kelan River to Hehe Jindu and then here.  The rest of the Zhejia army and horses were deployed in various back-road military villages from here to the west of Heicha Mountain. Following Zhe Keqiu's dispatch, nearly 3,000 men and horses trudged through the mud in one day.  When they arrived, Zhejia's army had strict orders and their ability to withstand hard work was far superior to that of Yan Yan's army! Of the five or six hundred horses that had rushed back, Zhe Keqiu had already taken the rest out to the west for strong posts.  The men and horses, together with Orihiko's original command, still filled this small military camp. Every camp was filled with three or four times the number of people. There were almost people piled on top of each other, taking the time to rest and regain their strength.  Even if we are tired from the journey, we must build a new military stronghold as soon as possible. Firstly, we must evacuate this large group of troops to better stabilize our position. Secondly, holding here is not a matter of a day or two.  After many of the Yan Yan troops retreated, even if they were tired today, they would be better off tomorrow, right? But since Zhe Ke had strict orders, the children of the Zhe family faithfully obeyed the orders of the family leader, even though the military camp was overcrowded.  , but no one moved around. Except for the sound of snoring, there was no sound at all.  Zhe Yansi stood on the wall of the village and looked westward with all his strength.  Before, looking westward was filled with nervousness.  Now he is looking forward to his return.  The critical situation of the Jurchens cutting off their retreat had long been forgotten by this young general. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the real Tatars?  You must know that our family was abandoned, sandwiched between Khitan and Dangxiang, in a barren land, but still survived for more than a hundred years under the leadership of successive family heads.  And relying on the great contributions to the Song Dynasty, the Zhe family is still growing and growing!  "Zhe Yansi, the commander, is all responsible for guarding sentries tonight, half of them are far away, and the remaining half are all in the village.Above, everyone looked up to the west like a commander. The cold rain brought chill to the bones, and almost no one moved.  Suddenly, a fire lit up in the night to the west.  Zhe Yansi, who stood on the wall for too long, thought he was seeing something evil.  But this little bit of fire turned into a fire dragon in the blink of an eye, but it was a team of people, holding butter torches, returning at night!  There was a singing voice in the night sky, it was the accent of Hewai, it was the triumphal singing of the children of the Ori family that Oriyan had been familiar with since he was a child!  For more than a hundred years, generations of sons of the Zhe family fought for the Song Dynasty on the battlefield against foreign enemies, fighting against the Khitan, Dangxiang, and Zubu Zahu.  Singing such a triumphant song, we return to our hometown!  Such meritorious achievements that last for a hundred years are the root of the Zhe family, the soul of the Zhe family, the flesh and blood of the Zhe family, and the glory and pride of the Zhe family!  But among the soldiers and horses fighting side by side with the Zhe family, there has never been one person who dared to say that the Zhe family could not fight and that the Zhe family did not dare to fight! ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? What do the Jurchen Tatars mean if they are cut off?  We can fight our way out!  On the wall of the stronghold, there were cheers: "The master of the family has returned in triumph!" And the soldiers and civilians of the Yanyan Army outside the stronghold also cheered loudly.  "Lieutenant Zhe is returning in triumph!" In the sound of triumphant songs that resounded in the night sky, hundreds of Zhe family's cavalry arrived straight in front of the village, covered in mud.  There are also more than ten war horses, with blood-stained heads in the style of money rat tail hanging from the horses' necks.  Zhe Yansi had already opened the gate of the village and was always in front of the team. There was also a Zhe Keqiu with his head hanging under his horse's neck to welcome him into the village.  "General, it's time to go into the camp and have a rest! I have taken care of all the men, no one is hungry, no one is sick!" Speaking of hard work, it is certain for Zhekeqiu.  But there was still no trace of tiredness on this veteran's face.  He turned over and dismounted and landed in the mud, but his body was still as steady as a mountain.  Zhe Keqiu glanced at Zhe Yansi and asked in a deep voice: "How many people have been taken care of?" These numbers were kept in Zhe Yansi's chest, and he tossed them around countless times.  "We went home and rode on foot. In addition to the central army led by the general, we received more than 2,200 people. It is estimated that there will be no more men and horses arriving tonight, and there should be more tomorrow. And the sergeants of the Yanyan Army who came  " Zhe Keqiu waved his hand fiercely: "Don't worry about the rest!" He stopped Zhe Yansi with one sentence, then raised his head to the sky, his lips squirmed, as if he was calculating how many of the Zhe family's descendants were gathered together.  .  Zhe Yansi just waited respectfully on the side, thinking about how to let the master of the family have a good rest tonight, and he would rush to build several military strongholds tomorrow no matter what, and run this place impregnably!  Zhe Keqiu suddenly looked at Zhe Yansi: "Xiao Twenty-six!" But this time it was not a military title, but a rank in the Zhe family.  Zhe Yansi was the twenty-sixth oldest member of his generation. Unexpectedly, Zhe Keqiu actually remembered it clearly.  Before Zhe Yansi could react, Zhe Keqiu hurriedly gave the order.  Unconsciously, he lowered his voice.  "Dry rations will be distributed immediately. Both men and horses will carry five days' worth of food. Except for weapons and armor, they will all be discarded. We will walk through the night and kill Kelanshui. Let's go home!" Zhe Yansi, who has been busy for so long,  , in fact, I was so tired that my head was a little numb, and I was just subconsciously thinking about what else I had to do.  Zhe Keqiu took this order, and he was stunned for a while before he came to his senses.  At this moment, his eyes widened and he looked in disbelief at the head of the family who was regarded as a god by his family.  This means abandoning the army and leaving the 40,000-year-old army to be massacred by the Jurchen Tatars!  How could there be such an order!  I must have heard wrongly.     definitely is!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
