Generally speaking, the boundary lines are bounded by natural-formed mountains and rivers, from national boundaries to county boundaries, and all of them are like this. The boundary between Hanoi County and Ji County, Hebei is also a continuous mountain range. This is a branch of Taihang, which stretches for more than two hundred miles, just like a leg extending from the Taihang Mountains, extending to the edge of the Yellow River, with lush and primitive forests covered with lush and lush forests.

Because of the river flow and natural collapse, there are more than a dozen large and small passes in the branches, and these passes have become natural passages for people to travel between the two places. Most of these passages are concentrated in the central and southern parts, among which Gongcheng Road, Lin Customs Pass and Yanjin Pass are the most famous.

Song Jingang's troops walked on the Gongcheng Road. This area was high and steep, and the county was easy to defend and difficult to attack. They occupied Gongcheng County, providing great convenience for Dou Jiande's army to enter Hanoi County. Song Jingang was also well aware of the importance of Xinxiang County and Linqing Customs Clearance in the south. However, he lacked enough troops and did not dare to divide his troops. He had to watch the Sui army occupy Xinxiang County, Linqing Customs Clearance and Yanjin Pass.

Song Jingang also knew in his heart that Gongcheng County was a mountainous area in the north and plains in the south. The grain produced was far from meeting the needs of the army. At most, one passage could only be made. If you want to obtain a logistics base to attack Hanoi County, you must seize Xinxiang County.

In order to maximize the chance to seize Xinxiang County, Song Jingang sent his nephew Song Hu to lead a thousand cavalry to drive the road south along Baimenbei.

Baimenbei is a long irrigation river pond, composed of mountain spring water. The east bank of the river pond is endless fields and villages of all sizes. At this time, the autumn harvest has ended. Farmers burn rice poles around the roadside of the ridges and the sky is covered with smoke. The fields are covered with gray, and the air is filled with choking smell of smoke.

At this time, a large group of people supporting the elderly and young appeared in the white smoke. They covered their mouths and noses and cursed the people who burned rice stalks in a low voice. There were ox carts in the crowd, and the ox carts were full of food, and the crowd grew longer and longer. There were as many as three or four thousand people. Women held children, men carried valuable softness, and elderly people led pigs and sheep. These people were all nearby villagers, evacuated by the Sui army to Xinxiang County, and their homes were about to become a battlefield.

There are more than 30 villages, big and small, and thousands of families between Xinxiang County and Gongcheng County. Since half a month ago, a prophet fled to Xinxiang County. In recent days, the Sui army has organized various families to move south. Thousands of people have moved south every day to take refuge. Today, this team is the largest group of migrating south.

Next to the team were more than 600 Sui cavalry, who were looking around vigilantly. They had obtained information and found Song Jingang's patrols around, which meant that a large group of people would appear.

The leader of this Sui army cavalry was Du Yanshen, and he was appointed as the General Yingjilang. He was the general of Gao Zikai. He and the Xinxiang County Magistrate were responsible for organizing the evacuation of villagers from more than a dozen villages to the west.

They were still more than 30 miles away from Xinxiang County at this time, but the people who moved south were walking very slowly, and they would take at least one day to walk for the more than 30.

Du Yanshen was a little anxious, and he waved to call a soldier and told him: "Go and tell the county magistrate Zhang to speed up and strive to arrive in Xinxiang County tonight.

"Abide by the order!"

The soldiers turned their horses and ran south. As soon as the soldiers went to send orders, the sound of horse hooves came from the north. Several Sui army scouts passed through the vast white rice pole burning area and rushed to the scene, "General Du!"

Du Yanshen turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Song Kingang's army was discovered in the north!"

Du Yanshen was shocked and asked quickly: "How many people are there and how far is the distance?"

"There are about a thousand people, all cavalrymen. They are about seven or eight miles away from us, and are moving south quickly."

Du Yanshen had a small drum in his heart. If it were a cavalry, the journey of seven or eight miles would arrive in a flash. He looked back at the large group of fleeing refugees and nearly a thousand ox carts. He was really worried. Song Jingang's army was not fierce before, but recently it had become burning, killing and looting. If they rushed down, these thousands of people happened to be their fat sheep.

Du Yan pondered for a moment and then said to a brigade coach: "You lead a hundred brothers to guard the villagers and go south quickly."

He shouted again, "Come with me the rest of your brothers!"

Du Yanshen led 500 cavalrymen to fight north like lightning...

Song Jingang had three nephews in the team, respectively in charge of his three thousand elite cavalry. Among them, Song Hu was the strongest among the three nephews, about thirty years old, and used a goose-feathered sword. He had a fierce appearance and a strong physique. He followed Song Jingang for many years and killed people like a numb.

This time, Song King Kong assigned him the task to open up a road to the south, but for Song Hu, robbing money is their top priority. In the past few months, Song Kingang suppressed their tyrannical tyranny in order to settle down in Hanoi County, and now he has finally let go, making Song Hu's heart full of killing.

His team is also full of tyrannical sects. They all hope to make a fortune before leaving and make up for all the losses of several months.

But to the disappointment of Song Hu and his men, they went south and passed several villages, all of which were empty and empty, which made their anger quickly accumulate, and the white smoke in the fields made them unable to open their eyes.

"General, how many people are there!"

A soldier found several people standing by the edge of the field. Song Hu waved his hand and his cavalry surrounded several people like a gust of wind. These old farmers who were burning rice poles wanted to burn the last pile of rice poles before retreating and try to make as much fertility as possible for their land, but they did not find a large group of cavalry rushing towards them and surrounding them. Several old farmers had no way to escape. Looking at the fierce eyes around them, they fell to the ground in fear.

"Kill them!" Song Hu shouted angrily, stepped forward and slashed by a knife. An old farmer's head was chopped off. His subordinates rushed forward and killed several old farmers in the field. A group of cavalry laughed wildly.

At this moment, the sound of breaking through the air came from the thick smoke, hundreds of arrows roared towards the dense cavalry group. Song Hu's army was not wary of it, and hundreds of people were shot overturned. The soldiers screamed and the horses neighed, and they all fell to the ground. The bandits were frightened and in chaos.

"The Sui army is here!"

A cavalry shouted and ran towards him. At this time, an arrow shot through his neck. He screamed and fell off his horse. A large group of Sui cavalry appeared in the white smoke, with horses wrapped in straw, walking through the thick smoke, silently coming.

Seeing that the opponent's team was not in order, Du Yanshen was the best opportunity, so he shouted, "Kill!"

Five hundred Sui cavalry came like a sharp sword, rushed into the chaotic enemy group, splitting more than a thousand bandits into two, and the five hundred Sui cavalry divided into five teams, neatly and orderly. They rushed sharply and extremely bravely, and cut the rebels into pieces in the shortest time.

Although there were more than a thousand rebel cavalrymen and their equipment was not much different from that of the Sui army, there was a huge gap in training. Before they recovered from the chaos of arrow rain, they were rushed even more chaotic by the Sui army that was killed.

Cavalry combat requires formation and coordination. The neat lineup makes command smoother. Proficient cooperation can form powerful combat power and greatly improve combat efficiency without wasting time and physical strength in unnecessary running.

The bandit army was killed in chaos and retreated step by step. Song Hu was furious. He roared wildly, waved his sword and rushed into the Sui soldiers. He killed fiercely, and chopped down seven or eight Sui cavalry in a row. The 300 cavalry behind him also followed him into the Sui army and disrupted a Sui cavalry team.

The chaotic rebels gradually began to gather in Song Hu, and the cavalry behind him quickly expanded from more than 300 to more than 500, and their disadvantages were gradually changing.

Du Yanshen is a general who has been promoted step by step from a scout soldier. He has rich combat experience. He knows that most of the characteristics of the rebels are called by the leader, and the same is true for this rebel. As long as the leader of the thief general is eliminated, the enemy will collapse immediately.

He immediately ordered, "Concentrate troops and kill the thief generals!"

Two Sui cavalry came from left and right, and targeted Song Hu, who was like a mad tiger. More than a dozen Changmai stabbed him together. Song Hu waved his sword and slashed left and right. He had already killed more than twenty Sui cavalry, which was extremely fierce. The Sui soldiers were killed by him and retreated step by step.

Seeing the crisis, Du Yanshen rode his horse and flew past the side, and shot an arrow at Song Hu's war horse. The arrow was shooting on the left eye of the war horse. The war horse made a tragic sound, and his front hooves jumped high. Du Yanshen shot another arrow, and the arrow shot through the heart of the war horse. The war horse fell to the ground and pressed Song Hu under his body. More than a dozen Sui soldiers rushed forward and stabbed Song Hu to death under the horse.

The main general died in battle, and the bandit army lost command and quickly fell into chaos. Many bandit army turned their horses and fled. The Sui cavalry immediately covered up and killed the bandit army and fled, killing them for more than ten miles.

At this time, Du Yanshen pinned the war horse. He heard the whimpering horns. A soldier pointed at the distance and shouted, "Look, General!"

I saw a black army several miles away, with tens of thousands of people coming towards this side. Du Yanshen suddenly realized that it was Dou Jiande's army coming. He shouted anxiously, "Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

Hundreds of cavalry turned their horses and quickly evacuated to the south. The vanguard of Dou Jiande's army came, with more than 30,000 people, led by Dou Jiande's number one general Wang Fubao.

...........

Wang Fubao's army had already arrived in Gongcheng County. He had been waiting for Dou Jiande's arrival. Wang Fubao was a general who was good at fighting and had a clear mind. He was not in a hurry to enter Hanoi County. He knew that entering Hanoi County too early would be likely to be annihilated by the Sui army's concentrated superior forces. He only needed to firmly grasp the passage to enter Hanoi County and wait for Dou Jiande's army to arrive.

In fact, Dou Jiande's army had arrived in Suixing County, dozens of miles away from Gongcheng County. Dou Jiande issued an order in Suixing County, ordering Wang Fubao to seize Xinxiang County as soon as possible.

The 80,000 army cannot be supported by a small Gongcheng County. Dou Jiande needs a wider area as the base for garrisoning troops. The Xinxiang County Plain south of Gongcheng County is undoubtedly the most ideal place for garrisoning troops, and it will also be the base for them to attack Hanoi County.

The news of Dou Jiande's army coming was spreading to Xinxiang County and Huojia County to the west as quickly as possible.
