(Nine hundred thousand fans worth!!! Ahhhh!!! The alliance is majestic and domineering! Special posting a 5,000-word big chapter to congratulate!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Keyi Gate is close to the Yellow River and is the base of the Xia army's right wing to the Shun Army. Judging from its geographical location, the Great Wilderness to the north, the Gobi Desert to the east, the Great Desert to the west, and the Xingqing Prefecture, the military and political center of the Xia Kingdom. It can be said that it is a desolate place with poor mountains and bad waters, and there is no object of special defense. The reason why the Xia Kingdom set up a military command here is just a kind of conventional national strategic deployment of military forces. Compared with the Baimaqiang Town Military Command in the northwest, the Dingzhou in the south, and the Right wing to the middle, the Shun Army Command in the middle, it forms a three-stage defensive layer from north to south to ensure the safety of the north of Xingqing Prefecture.

It is precisely because the Xia State had no opponent in the north that the right wing of the Shun Army, the Baimaqiang Town Army, two hundred miles away, and the Dingzhou to the south, were only stationed in a small number of troops, and the elite level of the army was far less than that of the various military departments on the southeast border. The role of these two armies and one state was only a warning force. In other words, if an enemy really came from this direction, these two armies and one state could serve as a warning and interception, and mobilize troops to join the rear to aid and gain sufficient time.

From a strategic perspective, the existence of these two armies and one state is very reasonable and necessary. However, in the more than a hundred years since the founding of the Xia State, there has never been an enemy invasion in the northwest. These three defenses have never played a role. If any region is comfortable for a hundred years, then vigilance is light, saying that loss is all lost. This can be seen from the fact that more than 10,000 troops of the 12th Division of the Chinese Army approaching thirty miles of the Keyi Gate, and the right wing of the Shun Army to the Dutong Army, to the Huotou Army, and to the Huotou Army, you can see that nothing is known.

Although Yue Fei was sure of raiding 3,000 to raid three thousand, he did not want to make too much noise. This time, the Keyi Gate was not the ultimate goal. Ten thousand troops besieged the city. It was easy to shock the snakes and aroused the alertness of Xingqing Prefecture. Yue Fei planned to use three hundred light cavalry to knock on the Keyi Gate and deceived the right wing to the Shun Army.

How to cheat? This must be on the leader of the thief.

When the 36th Brigade commander and the chariot and cavalry general Xu Qing personally led the team. He led 300 elite troops including Yue Yun and Sun Zhangong to attack the right wing towards the location of the Shun Army.

Along the way, three checkpoints were drawn in a row. There were less than ten soldiers in these checkpoints, all of them were old and weak. Not to mention fighting on horseback, even if they were on guard, their eyes would be useless. This so-called checkpoint was just a fool to fool their own empty space.

As for the regular patrol police whistles, there are no ghosts. The right wing of the Shun Army Office is really a sin and cannot survive.

As dusk fell, a cavalry team appeared under the tower of Keyi Gate, some riding horses and some riding camels. There were about twenty people, wearing tattered leather jackets, and there were sword bows and bulging packages hanging beside the saddle.

As soon as this group of cavalry appeared, it immediately caused a chaotic shock to the defenders. People were running around on the city walls, and swords and arrows were shining. Shao Qing, the city gate was wide open, and the elite armored cavalry rushed out and surrounded the cavalry. After a while, one of the cavalry rushed back to the city and reported loudly: "The deputy commander-in-chief, the person who came was the brother of Commander-in-chief Zheng, the group of 'Flying Squirrels'. They had just done a transaction and wanted to offer some to the deputy commander-in-chief, their elder brother and brother in the fort, and exchange supplies for them."

The deputy commander-in-chief, who had the helmet and neck armor on the top of the city, nodded after hearing this: "Okay, let Lao Zheng deal with it and lift the alert."

As the commander of the garrison issued the order, the city wall returned to its usual quietness, or, in other words, laziness.

These twenty sand thieves were taken into the castle. As they opened the bulging packages one by one, silk, rhinoceros horns, pearls, jade and other objects were revealed, which immediately triggered a large-scale onlooker on the garrison.

When the leader of the sand thief, "Shali Flying Squirrel", followed his two followers, and followed his elder brother Commander Zheng, to the inner courtyard of the castle, stood at the steps and presented gifts to the deputy commander-in-chief on the upper floor, the deputy commander-in-chief who took off his armor appeared on the tower with a reserved smile and accepted the gift.

Sun Zhangong, one of the "Sand Potters", was smiling and giving gifts to the guards. After a glance, he was shocked. The deputy commander-in-chief was actually an old acquaintance. He once led thousands of troops to besiege and kill Hubao, the former commander of the Left-Celebrity Divine Army Commander, Cao Ji.

Why did Cao Ji appear here? It is not surprising. Cao Ji was originally a general of the military command system. In two battles with the predecessor of the Chinese army, the Tianzhu Army, he lost twice in a row and was captured twice, which was a shameful person. If he had not been protected by a good father, and later on his mission to negotiate with the Tianshu forces, he would have made great contributions to the peace talks with the Tianshu forces, and his merits and demerits were offset, he would have to be dismissed. Although Cao Ji was lucky enough to escape, his shameful record was obviously not suitable for him to continue to be a general on the border. So after the power and money operation, Cao Ji was transferred to the right wing to the Shun Army Command to be the deputy commander.

The military position was promoted several levels, but this poor mountain and water land was not what Cao Ji wanted. He originally wanted to be a commander in Dingzhou. However, he was scolded by his father and finally came to this desolate sandy dunes, preparing to endure three years and two years as his father said, with a solid foundation. He would be transferred back to the current military position, which would be higher.

This opportunity seems to be coming soon. As the friction between Xia and China gradually heats up, the Xia army continuously transfers troops to the southeastern border, including the Right Xiang Chao Shun Army. A month ago, the commander-in-chief of the Right Xiang Chao Shun Army personally led a thousand elite troops to Yanzhou for reinforcements. At present, if there are only more than 2,300 soldiers in a large Keyi Gate castle. Among them, there are only 300 elite cavalry and only one Iron Harrier Guard. Nearly 2,000 soldiers are all responsible for supporting soldiers (auxiliary soldiers), and the guards are extremely low.

Now, the highest commander of the Shun Army Division of the entire Right Chamber is Cao Ji, the deputy commander of the army. Cao Ji is the general who knows the most in the Xia Kingdom and is also the most afraid of the Chinese army.

Cao Ji was smiling as he watched the guards present the gifts, but he never noticed that the group of "sand thieves" were quietly leaving the camel horse herd one by one, leaving only a bunch of gifts, allowing the Xia army to rob. The most qualified person was naturally the hundreds of soldiers and cavalry in the Shun Army Division of the right wing...

The moment when the red sun sets in the west and night falls, a thunder-like explosion, in the center of the castle, in the school ground where the most densely garrisons garrisons, ruthlessly roaring in the center of the circle where hundreds of Xia army soldiers snatch their property. The dazzling red light makes people instantly feel an illusion, as if the red sun that had just sunken has jumped out of the horizon again and fell into the castle.

The first one to be blown to pieces was the camel horse riding by the soldiers of the 12th Division. Because the explosive pack was tied to the belly of the camel horse, it used a mine-like hair pulling device. It was timely detonated. The one who was blown up was the most aggressively more than 50 elite cavalrymen who were robbed in the inner circle. More than 80% of the remaining flesh and a large amount of blood on the explosion site were from them. More than a hundred soldiers in the outer circle were also killed and injured by the shock waves to varying degrees. The outer army, regardless of whether they were injured or not, was all shaken by this earth-shaking explosion. The entire castle kept shaking and shaking in a muddy sound after another, and the mud and dust on the four walls rustled down.

A raid in the center blossomed, killing nearly half of the elite forces of the Right Chau Shun Army Division at once, and stirring thousands of soldiers into a pot of porridge.

Cao Ji was picking up a pearl as big as a longan's eye with his thumb and ate two fingers. He praised him, thinking about whether to give it to his wife or to his concubine. The sudden explosion shocked him to get out of his hand and fall down the steps, constantly jumping like a star ball, jumping down the first step... Suddenly, a big foot stepped on it and stepped on the sole of his boot. He moved his big foot away and quickly climbed the steps. The pearl had turned into powder.

The man who rushed up the steps was one of the two subordinates beside Shali Feishe. Of course, he was not a sand thief, but the commander of this raid - Xu Qing.

Another "sand thief" is Yue Yun.

The two had already divided the work. When the explosion sounded, Xu Qing lifted his robe, pulled out his iron mace and the eagle-mouth gun, stepped up the steps, knocked down an iron kite that was blocking the road with one shot, and then rushed straight to Cao Ji. Yue Yun took off his torn jacket and covered Commander Zheng who was begging for his head beside him. He held his wrist that was about to draw the knife with one hand, and clenched it into a fist with the other hand, and beat the head under the coat like a wind. He hit until Commander Zheng collapsed to the ground, and the flying rats in the sand kept begging for mercy, and then let go. He pulled out the two iron cone guns on his back and rushed up the stairs.

Yue Yun came at the right time - Xu Qingzheng fought with three Iron Harrier guards beside Cao Ji.

Because it is not a battlefield battle, Iron Harrier does not wear heavy armor on a daily basis, and it is a infantry battle. If it weren't for this, Xu Qing wouldn't be able to bear it. Although it is not a problem to fight one and three, all the Xia soldiers who were selected were elite, and their personal skills and tactics were also quite powerful. When he was killing Hu Fort, two Iron Harrier suppressed the soldiers of a fort, which shows that Xu Qing would not be able to break through for a while, and Cao Ji was about to leave. At this moment, Yue Yun arrived.

Yue Yun used the jumping technique again, stepping on one wall, his body almost perpendicular to the ground, and he flew past the passage where Xu Qing and the Iron Harrier were fighting each other. He was in mid-air, and the iron cone gun was out of his hand, flew past Cao Ji's neck, snatched the ground and nailed it to the rammed earth wall, and the mud chips fell, and Cao Ji fell in shock.

When the Iron Yaozi guard panicked and turned around to rescue him, he was shocked to find that the tip of Yue Yun's spear was on the back of the deputy commander-in-chief's neck...

The explosion sounded like a signal. The three hundred elite cavalry ambushed ten miles away and tens of thousands of troops thirty miles away rushed towards the Keyi Gate Castle.

The army surrounded the center, the main general was captured, the castle was in chaos, and the ending was already destined.

Cao Ji was definitely a very sensible guy. He was used to being a prisoner, especially the Chinese army's prisoner. He didn't need to be threatened, and cooperated happily, ordering the Xia army to put down their weapons and surrender the entire army.

The right wing faces the Shun Army Office and suppresses it.

...

In early May, the soldiers of the 12th Division who received sufficient supplements opened out of the Keyi Gate and rushed along the rolling Yellow River toward the ultimate goal of this trip, Dingzhou.

At the Keyi Gate, Yue Fei left a mixed battalion, plus five hundred Xia soldiers and captured a total of one thousand people, guarding the rear route for the army, and strangling the Xia army of the Baimaqiang Town Army 200 miles northwest into the aid channel. With Xu Qing and Yue Yun led 500 cavalry as the vanguard, put on the armor of the Xia cavalry, and worked with Cao Ji and his 50 disarmed guards, they went forward thirty miles and rushed to Dingzhou.

Cao Ji had previously been determined to be transferred to Dingzhou, so he had many magistrates, magistrates, military commanders, subordinates and others in Dingzhou, and had excellent management of the relationship between the superiors and subordinates. The 12th Division caught this person and was able to surrender and cooperate. It was found a key to quickly open the gate of Dingzhou.

If the right wing of the Shun Army was a garrison. And in a poor and dangerous place, the defenders were somewhat vigilant, Dingzhou, which was near the capital, had no mentality of being at peace and was not prepared to be attacked.

When Dingzhou received a report that the deputy commander of the Shun Army of the Right Chamber was ordered to lead 500 cavalry to reinforce the front line, although it was a little strange that he did not seem to have received the cooperation and command from the Ministry of War. But then he thought that the prefectures and military commands were not the same system, and military orders might not be conveyed to the state. Moreover, a month ago, there were indeed thousands of cavalry in the Shun Army of the Right Chamber of the Right Chamber of the Right Chamber of the Right Chamber of the Right Chamber of the Right Chamber of the Its orders to rush to the border, so it is not surprising that another group of people came.

The governor of Dingzhou immediately opened the door and ordered the officials of the state to represent the prefecture government office to go out for five miles.

Five hundred cavalry rushed into Dingzhou. The troops were divided into two groups. Xu Qing and Cao Ji went straight to the prefecture. They took down all the officials of all sizes and big and small who were waiting here. Yue Yun led 300 cavalry to the large camp of the garrison in the south of the city at lightning. They killed the Dingzhou military camp without any defense and turned over, and the inside and outside were clear.

Two hours later, the main force of the 12th Division arrived. At the top of Dingzhou city, the flag of the Chinese Kingdom had risen slowly and was flying in the wind.

Dingzhou and Xingqing Prefecture are very close to each other, and are the northern gate of Xingqing Prefecture. Its importance is not excessive for Xia State. Dingzhou fell, and Xia State was shocked. It was like a bolt from the blue, which stunned the king and ministers of Xingqing Prefecture.

On the fourth day of the fifth month, in Xingqing Prefecture's summer palace, Li Qianshun stared at his blood-red eyes, like a desperate person who was forced into a poor alley, and slapped the imperial case hard. His tail fingers were broken and he roared like thunder: "The enemy has been killed dozens of miles away, but you are not aware of it? What's the use of you waiting for waste? The Minister of War has been resigned, and the Minister of War has been in prison. He killed the nine clans of the Cao family, the nine clans of the Dingzhou Prefecture, and the nine clans of the Dingzhou commander!"

Li Qianshun sprayed a string of words "kill" in one breath, and shocked the ministers below, and everyone lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to glance at the officials of the Ministry of War with a miserable expression.

Soon, a soldier outside the hall was summoned to the interior, and removed the official hats, seals, and robes of several important officials of the Ministry of War, and escorted them out of the hall. No one in the court dared to plead for mercy. He really couldn't plead for mercy. If such a big Vailuo had to take responsibility, someone would have to be a person of sufficient weight. The head of the Ministry of War would undoubtedly escape his crime.

Just when the civil and military officials in the court were not afraid to let out a word, the first military troupe stepped out of the first line and raised his scepter and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, as the Marshal of the Military and Horse Capital, I made such a disaster. I cannot refuse the blame, please blame me."

Those who can say this on Li Qianshun's fire head would not be the second person except King Cha Ge of Jin. This young brother of the king is only forty years old, with a red face and black beard, a lion's nose, a dignified appearance and a strong body and soul. This king has fought with the Western Army of Song many times and defeated the Western Army many times. Liu Fa, a famous general of the Western Army, died of his defeat. The capital and territory of the Song Kingdom seized by the Xia Kingdom in recent years, was mostly due to his contributions, and is a rare commander of the Xia Kingdom. He was highly respected by the king Li Qianshun.

Li Ganshun panted and stared at Wang Di's calm face, calming himself for a long time, and gritted his teeth and said, "You must blame you for this loss. Who would have thought that the Chinese army was so sinister and cunning, willing to take a strange risk, attacked my back thousands of miles, and put more than ten thousand troops to death before they survive... This is also my fault."

Brother Cha nodded in pain: "The country has no worries for a hundred years, but I forgot to tighten the sheep pen, so that the wolf broke in. The Chinese army should not underestimate it!"

Li Ganshun clenched his fist hard, and then he felt the pain in his tail finger, his facial muscles twitched for a few times, and he suppressed his discomfort and asked, "Does the King of Jin have a good idea to share my worries and relieve the country?"

Cha Ge raised his scepter to the king of the country, slowly raised his head, his eyes shone coldly, and his voice was loud: "There is nothing else, it's just a battle."

Li Ganshun pinched his fist tightly, letting the severe pain sting his heart. He suddenly pointed at the northern halberd: "I want you to supervise the army in person to fight. If you cannot take back Dingzhou, you must not return to the court!"

On the eighth day of the fifth month, the king Li Ganshun killed animals in front of the ancestral tomb and worshiped ancestors, and ascended to the altar to serve the generals. The marshal of the Xia Kingdom's military capital, Chage, personally led a large army to fight, vowing to annihilate all the enemy troops and capture them back to Dingzhou.

When the Xia army rushed towards Dingzhou City with great momentum, the three main generals of the 12th Division of Dingzhou were in full swing on the issue of war and defense. The focus of the debate was whether to defend the city or fight.

Wang Gui is a steady conservative and advocates perseverance: "According to the instructions issued by the Ministry of War, the goal of our 12th Division is Dingzhou. If Dingzhou is taken, the strategic goal will be achieved. Xia will definitely draw a large army from the east and south lines to siege the city. In this way, the strength of Xia's border will be sharply reduced and the morale of the army is in turmoil. Our army can take advantage of the situation and attack the entire line and break through the Xia's border defense in one fell swoop."

Xu Qing advocated an attack: "Wang Liu, don't forget that the cavalry is the most suitable for field battles. If you retreat all your soldiers, chariots and horses into the city, wouldn't you tie your hands and feet?"

Wang Gui asked back: "Dingzhou city walls are solid or chariots are strong? The battle and defense of the chariots is only set up to restrain the enemy cavalry without a rear. Since we have to defend, why abandon the chariots and settle for the chariots?"

Xu Qing also knew that Wang Gui's words were reasonable, but he was unwilling to accept it: "Then let's hide in this state city and let those bald thieves fight if they want to fight, and surround them if they want to?"

Wang Gui said patiently: "As long as we nail this Dingzhou City, we will drag down the Xia army and defeat and destroy it. When our army breaks through the Great Wall, it will be the time for the 12th Division to counterattack."

Xu Qing opened his mouth, but found nothing to say, turned his head to look at Yue Fei: "Fifth Brother, what do you mean?"

"When I was in Chang'an to win the greatest glory of this Western Expedition for the 12th Division, the emperor did say that taking Dingzhou would be a victory, but..." Yue Fei suddenly looked up and his eyes shining, "If tens of thousands of Xia troops were annihilated under the city of Dingzhou, what would happen?"

Wang Gui and Xu Qing opened their mouths at the same time. The difference is that Xu Qing was so happy that he couldn't stop talking, but Wang Gui opened his mouth in surprise: "Fifth brother, Xia State has dispatched a 50,000 army this time, and the commander is the first general of Xia State, King Cha of Jin!"
Chapter completed!
