The brigade of cavalry, covered in mud, hurriedly entered the village gate, and took the lead in a stead. He was sturdy and simple in clothing and armor. It was the contemporary head of the Zhe family who was regarded as a god by the children of the Zhe family.

Although the situation was extremely critical, Zhe Keqiu still rode steadily on the horse, half-closing his eyes, without any panic. The soldiers left behind in the village, even when they saw the head of the family, even though they were a little panic and frightened, they calmed down.

The Zhe family started in the border desertion, and has been in the cracks between various forces since the Five Dynasties. They experienced life-and-death battles with the Khitan and Dangxiang before they survived. No matter how difficult and dangerous the situation was, they had experienced it. Now they were just intercepted by the Jurchen Tartars, but the tens of thousands of troops were still intact, so what are you afraid of?

Moreover, Zhe Keqiu brought a lot of people. In addition to always following his hundreds of cavalry, the subsequent people and horses were still coming in endlessly. The bus cavalry was mixed, and the children of the Zhe family who were left to protect the rear were brought along along the way. At this moment, there were more than 2,000 people returning to the rescue, and the Zhe family would inevitably come in endlessly. If the Fuyan army reacted in time and the army returned, no matter whether it could defeat the Jurchen Tatars who intercepted the rear, the main force of the entire army would be very sure that they could break out of this dead land!

The commander who stayed behind this military camp was named Zhe Yansi, whose bloodline was not far from the Zhe family's branch. He was able to lead troops, endure hardship, and fight, and always valued it very much.

He was waiting at the gate of the village early, and when he saw Zhe Ke asked to enter the village first, he bowed: "God fortunately, the general is here! If the general is in charge, the last general asks to lead a team of troops and protrude to the west, and try to intercept the Jurchen Tartars in our back. Arrange the defense of the general and arrange the army and horses to fight for a while!"

This military camp was originally just a commanding infantry army and accumulating some military funds to accommodate some transported civilians. Now the army must block the Jurchen Tatars' retreat here to attack. Maybe tens of thousands of people and horses will fight to the decisive battle here. New military camps must be built. Select key points to arrange military horses, which will take time.

Zhe Yansi asked to lead a cavalry to advance westward, opened the warning curtain, and fought with the fierce Jurchen Tartars. Even if they sacrificed their lives, they would win enough time for the army led by the general!

This loyal expression, Zhe Keqiu was unmoved, jumped off the horse and moved his muscles and bones. He wiped the rain all over his face: "What a panic! I want to test the Jurchen Tartars' quality, of course, I went there. You have always led the infantry. Can you suppress the situation? It's so light or heavy!"

This sentence blocked Zhe Yansi's request for war with courage. Zhe Yansi bowed his head and took the order. However, his admiration for the general in his heart became deeper and deeper. He is worthy of being the head of the family who commanded the nearly ten thousand of our Zhe family, but when the war comes, he just goes forward to take charge. The General Liu of the Fuyan Army has seen his luxurious show at Jindu, Hehehe. Compared with our head, it is simply mud on the bottom of his feet!

Zhe Keqiu had no intention of continuing to walk into the village. He made a little move and sat down on a deer fort used to divide the roads in the village gate.

(The military camp is not flat, especially for the military camps stationed by the infantry, there are also deer forts blocked in the interior. One is used to divide the roads, and the other is that after the village gate is broken through, you can continue to fight on the deer forts - Oscar's note)

"This team of men will not enter. I will arrange to feed the horses and drink water immediately and bring some hot drinks to someone. Then I will personally lead the people and horses to the west! You will be here to pick up the follow-up people. If the Zhe family comes, one of them will not be allowed to eat hot food, and one of them will fall ill here, so you will only ask!"

If you act like this and obey your orders under your command, what else can you say? What you have left in your heart is to die effectively. Not to mention that you will return your surname!

Zhe Yansi loudly accepted the order: "Although the Lord is relieved, I am here, and the Zhe family is hungry and hungry. Before the Lord is asked to be guilty, I cut off my head by myself!"

Zhe Keqiu nodded with satisfaction, and a gentle look was extremely rare on his face: "……………I know that you juniors have not experienced any major battles in recent years. They are nothing more than fighting with some macaques near Zhuilun River. The Jurchen Tatars attacked Baili in the rain and attacked Hehejindu in one fell swoop. This was also expected to scare you...…………………………………………………………………………………I have not died yet. As long as I wait, I can always bring you juniors out safely!”

For some reason, the rare gentle general made Zhe Yansi's eyes heat up, and he couldn't say anything. After performing his salute, he turned around and strode away, and immediately sent him hot food and water to send him the cavalry brothers who were dismounting near the village gate to eat hot and take a breath.

The Zhe family cavalry consciously did not enter the village to rest. They just took a moment of breathing and went west again with Zhe Keqiu, and bought some time to shelter the brothers who had been forcibly rushing in the mud. The brigade was rolling all over the mud, and the exhausted Zhe family infantry entered the military camp in a group. The brothers guarding the village had already vented their camps and let them rest and recover their strength. White air rose from the stove in the camp, and all the delicious food was brought out, driving out large pots of hot food.

The military camp was in a state of chaos, but there was no panic when the retreat was defeated. Even if the Jurchen Tartars rushed over at this moment, these Zhe family men would face them without retreating, and under the leadership of such a general, they would fight with the Tartars to the end!

When the infantry entered the camp and the cavalry seized the time to rest, Zhe Keqiu sat only on the wet deer fort wood, without removing his armor. Many defeated troops who retreated in front came, just asking about the movements of the Jurchen Tartars.

These defeated soldiers, including the children of the Zhe family, the Fuyan army, and even the civilians, were all suddenly attacked and suddenly collapsed. From the sporadic news they got from them, Zhe Keke asked such a long general to judge that the situation was not good.

After attacking and breaking the Hehejin Ferry, the Jurchens did not hurry to encircle the Fuyan Army in the east. Instead, they expanded their forces, one of them went down the river, sweeping all the strongholds and sporadic ferries east of the river, and the other went west along the Kelan River, blocking the Kelan River. Only one of the remaining troops advanced slowly and pulled out the strongholds left by the Fuyan Army and the Zhe Family Army in the rear.

It is precisely because of the Jurchen army that these defeated soldiers were allowed to escape here!

The Jurchens took advantage of the heavy rain to attack Hehejin Ferry like thunder and lightning. They suddenly acted. After taking down the key points of Hehejin Ferry, they continued to advance heavily. The Kailuo Net was simply superb.

If he takes down Hehejindu, he will turn to the southeast and attack directly at the main force of the Fuyan army and the Zhe family army. This Jurchen cavalry attacked in the rain, which was extremely exhausted, and no matter how many animals the Tartars were, they could not hold on. If they fought back for the Fuyan army and the Zhe family army, they wanted to seize a way out, they might have to suffer losses and could no longer block this army.

Now the pace is slowed down, completely cut off the retreat, and open the net of Cairo on all sides. I am not in a hurry to seek a decisive battle with the Fuyan army. It is a clever move. Anyway, the longer the retreat is, the more unfavorable it is for the Fuyan army and the Zhe family army, the more powerful the morale of the army is. Moreover, this surprise soldier who is just a cross-border intercepting the rear, slowing down the pace, just waiting to suppress the Jurgent force who is stationed in person with Yifang to oppress westward!

And they were not afraid that the main force of the Fuyan army and the Zhe family army would return to the army to open up the retreat. Forty or fifty thousand troops were pulled into a long snake in the road of the Weishui River Valley, and it was raining and muddy. It was not so easy to mobilize? Not to mention that the Jurgend forces in front of them would have to launch an offensive counterattack!

The back lane was cut off, and the Jurgent forces fought back in front of him. The 40,000 to 50,000 people and the Zhe family army were weakened more and more and more in this net. It was increasingly shaken. When the army finally collapsed, this surprise soldier could fight without bloody battles, but just intercepted the collapsed army later!

The more Zhe Keqiu listened to these military situations, the more gloomy his face turned, and he frowned and just didn't say anything.

After learning that the military situation of the rear road was suddenly attacked, he had never rushed to the Liu Guangshi Central Army camp of Hehe, and immediately led his troops back, gathering the children of the Zhe family along the way. He was also prepared to fight a hard battle to defeat the Jurchen army and regain the mastery of the rear road. Although the troops of the Zhe family and the Fuyan army were a bit dissatisfied during this battle, they were now installed in this trap!

But now, if we fight the Jurchen Tartars here, the Zhe family army might have to be buried with Fu Yan's army!

In the raindrops, Zhe Keqiu was wearing armor and sitting in danger like a mountain. The eyes of the Zhe family members around him could not be avoided, as if as long as they saw the head of the family, their morale would be as stable as Mount Tai.

It took most of the hour to sit down. Someone offered hot food and drinks, and they waved to Zhe Keqiu. When the brigade of cavalry and horses were almost breathing and recovering some energy and physical strength, Zhe Keqiu, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and called out loudly.

"My sons, go west with someone! Try the Jurchen Tartars! Let the men who are rushing back have a rest for a while!"

The central cavalry who had been following him for hundreds of years were all old soldiers who had been following him for more than ten years. They all shouted and all turned over and rode their horses. They returned to the rescue for dozens of miles and were tired of facing the dangers of the Jurchen army and horses, which were unprecedentedly powerful enemies. Everyone looked as usual, as if they were just walking around in spring.

Zhe Keqiu also turned over the horse, and saw Zhe Yansi running over hurriedly and heading towards Zhe Keqiu's horse: "Master, come back earlier, you are the mainstay of our Zhe family!"

Zhe Keqiu smiled faintly and raised his hand and stroked around: "Take good care for the children of the Zhe family! Try your best to accept them, but the same thing, there is hot food and hot drinks! Pour one down, you are asking!"

Zhe Yansi received the order again and immediately said in embarrassment: "There is all the food in the camp, but the place is limited. The men came one after another, afraid that they could not accommodate them. Not to mention that the Muyan army and civilians also came...... General, should I pass on an order to order so many men to do it together and immediately build a few military camps, so that they can accommodate soldiers and attack the horns, and defend more stably!"

Zhe Keqiu glanced at him coldly: "The boys came in the rain, how can they have such strength now? There is no need to rush to build a military camp first! Just accept our Zhe family first, and no matter the other Fuyan army or civilians, you don't have to worry about them first! Those who enter the camp now drive them out and let us Zhe family rest well!"

Zhe Keke hurriedly returned to the rescue and gathered the various troops of the Zhe family along the way. Naturally, there were also many Guanxi civilians who were blocked by heavy rain on this retreat. In order to drive the return of the Zhe family army to help, many panicked civilians also followed. Mixed with the Zhe family army, taking care of them, Zhe Yansi took great effort.

When I heard the order from Zhe Keke, although I felt a little cruel, it is of course important to maintain the combat power of the Zhe family army now, even if it is a bit too much, it is incredible. In Zhe Yansi's opinion, the combat power of the Guangyan army is really despised and wants to regain the retreat and fight bloody battles. Isn't it relying on our Zhe family army?

Since the fight depends on our Zhe family's children, you Han Chinese, the Fuyan army, have suffered a lot of hard work, which is beyond the reach of the time.

Zhe Yansi was the leader of the commander: "Don't worry, the Lord! I'm just waiting for the Lord to return here, so that our Zhe family's children will rest and get some rest!"

Zhe Ke smiled at him with great comfort, whipped the horse heavily, and the river bend neighed, raised his head and hooves, galloped away. Dozens of personal guards guarded him tightly, and more of the iron cavalry of the Zhe family followed behind. Going west, he felt a majestic spirit!

In the camp, the soldiers and civilians of the Fuyan Army who had entered the camp personally led the team for Zhe Yansi. Although these soldiers and civilians of the Fuyan Army were resentful, they also knew that they would now rely on the combat power of the Zhe family army. Didn’t they see that the head of the Zhe family were facing the front enemy in the battle? Such a general is much better than the Liu Yaneiqiang, who is still in the capital of Hehe County!

Hundreds of soldiers and civilians who had already entered the camp walked out of the camp silently and just sat down in the mud. They couldn't stop looking at the back of hundreds of Zhejiajing riders who had gone away with Zhejiake. The eyes were full of trust and sustenance. The Zhejia's son looked at the back of the master and looked at the back of the master. His expression was full of pride!

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

The night slowly fell. A butter torch was lit on the military camp where Zhe Yansi was stationed, swaying in the bitter wind and rain, emitting a faint yellow light.

The inside and outside the camp were filled with people and horses. The inside of the village was the Zhe family's army and horses, while the outside of the village were filled with soldiers and civilians sitting in the rain and mud.

These soldiers and civilians of the Fuyan Army who were waiting outside the village by obedience, have already taken action from their own hands, digging trenches, building military camps, and building mats. Apart from asking for some military food and drinking to drive away the cold, they did not disturb the Zhe family army at all.

In the camp, the Zhe family's army and horses arrived in one day had nearly 3,000.

The Zhe family army sent 6,000 troops, and the Zhe family army was left in the north of the Kelan River to Hehejin Ferry and then to the here. The remaining Zhe family army and horses were arranged in various rear camps from here to west of Heicha Mountain. With Zhe Kexue's orders to send cavalry, nearly 3,000 troops arrived in the mud in one day. The Zhe family army's orders were strict, and their ability to work hard was far above the Fuyan army!

The brigade of troops who rushed back, the five or six hundred cavalry that occupied the most space, had already taken out to the west for Zhe Keqiu. The remaining troops and Zhe Yansi's original command were still full of this large army camp. Each camp was stuffed with three times and four times, almost everyone was catching the time to rest and recover their energy.

At this time, even if you are tired from afar, you must build a new military camp as soon as possible. First, you must evacuate this large group of troops so that you can better stabilize your position. Second, it is not a matter of one or two days to defend here, and you still have to support how many troops to retreat. Even if you are tired today, you will always have a better rest tomorrow, right?

However, since Zhe Ke asked for strict orders, the children of the Zhe family faithfully obeyed the orders of the head of the family.

Although there was a lot of people in the military camp, no one walked around. There was no sound in the camp except for snoring.

Zhe Yansi stood on the wall of the village and tried his best to look west. He looked west before, and was nervous. Now he was looking forward to returning to the master. The critical momentum of the Jurchens cutting off the retreat had long been thrown out of the sky by this young general.

We are the master of the town, so why are we afraid of the Jurchens and Tartars? We should know that our Zhe family was sandwiched between the Khitan and Dangxiang, and in a barren land, they still survived for more than a hundred years under the leadership of the family leader of all generations. And with great contributions to the Song Dynasty, the Zhe family is still growing!

Zhe Yansi, the commander, was responsible for the patrol tonight, half of which was spread far away, and the remaining half was on the walls of the village. Everyone looked west like a commander, and the cold rain brought cold air to the bone, and almost no one moved.

Suddenly, a little fire lit up in the night west. Zhe Yansi, who had been standing on the wall of the village for too long, thought he was looking at the evil eyes.

But this ignition light turned into a fire dragon in a blink of an eye, but a group of people holding butter torches and returning at night!

A singing sounded in the night sky, which was the accent of the Hanawai, and the triumphant singing of Zhe Yansi who had heard the familiar Zhe family since childhood!

For more than a hundred years, generations of Zhe family have embarked on the battlefield of foreign enemies for the Song Dynasty, fighting against the Khitan, Dangxiang and Shudu and Mihu. It is like singing such a triumphant song and returning to their hometown!

Such merits and achievements that last for a hundred years are the roots of the Zhe family, the soul of the Zhe family, the bones and blood of the Zhe family, and the glory and pride of the Zhe family! No one has ever fought side by side with the Zhe family. He dared to say that the Zhe family could not fight, and the Zhe family dared not fight!

What is the final severance, what is the Jurchen Tartars? We can fight for a bloody path!

Above the village wall, there was a burst of cheers: "The head of the family returned in triumph!"

The soldiers, soldiers, civilians and men of the Fuyan army outside the village were also cheering.

"Taiwei Zhe returned in triumphantly!"

Amid the singing of triumphants resounding throughout the night sky, hundreds of Iron Cavalry of the Zhe family arrived straight in front of the village with muddy bodies. There were more than ten cavalry war horses, and under the horse's neck was hung with a blood-stained head like a rat-tailed hair.

Zhe Yansi had already opened the gate of the village and was always in front of the team. There was also a Zhe with a head hanging from his horse under the horse's neck to welcome him into the village.

"Master, it's time to go to the camp to rest! I've taken care of all the men, none of them are hungry, and none of them are sick!"

If it comes to hard work, it is certain for the Chou Keqiu. However, there is still no sign of tiredness on the face of this famous general. He turned over and fell into the mud and water, and his figure was still as stable as a mountain.

Zhe Keqiu glanced at Zhe Yansi and asked in a deep voice: "How many people have you answered?"

These numbers were all contained in Zhe Yansi's heart, and they were tumbling around for countless times.

"Our family of Zhe family will receive more than 2,200 other than the central army led by the general. It is estimated that no one will arrive tonight, and there should be some soldiers from Fuyan's army tomorrow..."

Zhe Keqiu waved his hand violently: "Don't worry about other things!"

He stopped Zhe Yansi with one word, then looked up to the sky, his lips squirming, as if he was calculating how many Zhe family members and horses were concentrated. Zhe Yansi was just waiting respectfully, thinking about the fact that he would let the head of the family rest tonight, and no matter what, he would build several military camps tomorrow, so that the management of this place would be as solid as a solid foundation!

Zhe Keqiu suddenly looked at Zhe Yansi: "Xiao Twenty-six!"

This is not a military name, but a ranking among the Zhe family. Zhe Yansi is ranked 26th in his generation, and he didn't expect that Zhe Keqiu would remember it clearly.

Before Zhe Yansi could react, Zhe Keqiu immediately ordered, but unconsciously lowered his voice.

"Dry food is distributed immediately, and the people and horses will bring food for five days. All except weapons and armor were abandoned. We walked away overnight and killed the Kelanshui. We went home!"

Zhe Yansi, who had been busy for so long, was actually so tired that his head was a little numb. He just subconsciously muttered what else he had to do. Zhe Ke asked for this order, and he was stunned for a while before he realized.

At this moment, he widened his eyes and looked at the head of the family who was regarded as a god by his family.

This is to abandon the army and leave, and throw 40,000 Fuyan troops to the Jurchens and the Jurchens and slaughter them!

How could such an order be born?

I must have heard it wrong.

It must be! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
