Chapter 366 Mingsha River

On the second day, Yan Qisheng sent people to send letters to Han Fuhu and Wu Chang'an, and ordered the army to set sail, leaving 5,000 people to defend Xiliang City, and led 45,000 people to Xining Prefecture to reinforce Wu Chang'an.

The journey was day and night without stopping. The people of Xixia had already received the reward, but they sent 10,000 coercion troops and 20,000 capturing troops to intercept them halfway. The leader of Xixia was Xifeng Rong, the confidant of the King of Xixia Tuoba Huer. This man was also a veteran general who had been around for a long time. He heard the scouts to report.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the people of Daning are only twenty miles away from here!"

Xi Feng Rong nodded when he heard this.

"Okay, this way to Xingqing, the Mingsha River must be crossed. This river is fifteen meters wide. If the people of Daning want to cross the river, they must build ships. Our army can ambush both sides and wait for the effort to kill him!"

It was passed that there were orders to ambush 20,000 people on the west bank of Mingsha River, and 10,000 people were waiting for the arrival of the Daning army on the east bank to support it.

In the evening of the second day, Daning led 10,000 people with Ge Wenlang as the pioneer, and he came to the bank of Mingsha River. The lower-headed people came to report.

"The Chief Army, but do you want to take action?"

Xi Fengrong shook his head and said,

"This is the forward. To avoid alerting the snake, you can let it cross the river!"

He still had 10,000 troops on the other side of the river to respond. When the Daning Pioneer Army crossed the river, he could block the 10,000 people.

Ge Wenlang rode his horse to the riverside. When he saw that the river was wide and the river was turbulent, the horsepower must not be reduced. He needed to build a bridge to cross the river. He immediately sent an order and ordered the construction camp to leave the line, go to the river bank to observe the situation, choose a place to drive piles and build a floating bridge, so that the army can cross the river.

They were busy by the river bank, but the Xixia people remained silent. When the sky was dark, the Daning people had already set up a pontoon, and a torch was inserted on it, surging the water on the river surface and the bridge deck was undulating.

Ge Wenlang took the lead and led 10,000 soldiers across the river. The Xifeng Rong still remained silent. Thirty thousand Xixia soldiers were lying in a hidden place, quietly watching the ten thousand soldiers slowly passing by...

Let’s talk about it when it was getting dark late, and the Daning army on the wasteland was silent. A Xixia scout team was wandering around. Someone ran from afar and shouted what Xixia said. The scout captain received the order and turned around and ordered. A team of people immediately rushed to the Daning people.

At this moment, something moved among the rocks and weeds. Suddenly, a hand was stretched out from the side and slapped it on the head.

"Bang……"

The thing yelled, but it turned out to be a living person lying there, covered in soil and weeds, and his body had already merged with the surroundings. The man screamed in a sharp voice.

"Hey! Old Yuan... you are so damn gentle, you are about to be broken by you!"

The voice next to him shouted in a low voice,

"You kid... have survived for two days, can't you survive in just a while?"

After saying a few words, there was no sound here again.

Half an hour later, the Xixia scout team ran back in a team of ten people, and heard the low and dumb voice shouting.

"Do it!"

The Xixia horses ran closer, and suddenly a rain of arrows fell from the sky.

"Ah...be careful!"

As soon as the word "careful" was called, someone fell to the ground and died. The Xixia scout behind him saw this and quickly turned around and wanted to escape. He was about to raise his head and scream, but he was not afraid of a locust stone hitting him, and it immediately hit his mouth and nose. Blood immediately rushed over and fell on his back. In just a moment, no one of the ten people ate. Countless people in mud shirts immediately rushed out on both sides, and they pulled their heads and feet to quickly dragged them into the grass beside the road. The frightened horses immediately came over to hold the reins to prevent them from escaping.

There was a rumbling sound in the grass. Not long after, ten Western Xia scouts appeared on the road again. They turned over and shouted immediately, but they were using Western Xia dialect.

"Young guys, why don't you leave!"

He ran forward all the way, and after half an hour someone came up and shouted in Xixia dialect,

"Can the people of Daning be in trouble?"

The leader replied,

"Report...there are no traces of people from Daning!"

The person who heard the reward was very surprised and shouted loudly,

"What? Investigate again and report again!"

"yes!"

Ten people, Jinma looked back and ran back and forth...

He also said that the Xixia people saw Daning's ten thousand people gradually disappear into the darkness, and half of the responders were not left. Xi Fengrong couldn't help but secretly amazement. After waiting for another hour, no one came. Xi Fengning secretly called something strange and asked,

"Can the scouts sent out be rewarded?"

Next person reports back,

"The chief army, the scouts in front of him, the subsequent army of Daning disappeared!"

"What? I'm missing?"

Xi Fengrong's brow immediately frowned and asked again,

"Can the ten thousand people ahead know where they are going?"

The scout came to report,

"Those ten thousand people are moving towards Xiping!"

Xi Fengrong was even more puzzled.

"Send 10,000 people to Xiping, and the Xiping defenders were 50,000, and then another 40,000 were sent to Wu Chang'an for 80,000 troops. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. After fighting for so long, it can block Wu Chang'an from making progress. Sending another 10,000 people to help..."

Feng Rong is different from Tuoba Jianye, who is not very familiar with Yan Qisheng, a yellow-mouthed child, but he has been dealing with Han Fuhu for many years. He knows that he is cautious and will not do meaningless things, nor will he easily hand over the troops all over the place to a yellow-mouthed child. I think that boy must be a bit worthwhile.

No matter how aggressive this young boy seeks credit, he would not send 10,000 people to Xiping to die in vain. Where did the tens of thousands of people go?

I thought to myself that there was another retribution from the person above.

"The Chief Army, the 10,000 people in the Daning world have passed ten miles. If we don't pursue it, we will get out of the ambush area of ​​our army. Please tell me the deputy chief army in front!"

It was already dark at this time, and you would go into the mountain twenty miles. If 10,000 people in Daning escaped into the mountain, even if you sent another 50,000 people to search, you might not be able to find the trace. If you don’t stop me, you will run away!

Xi Fengrong pondered for a moment when he heard this.

"Stop it!"

When he passed the order, he left 10,000 soldiers and horses ambushed by the river, and guarded the west bank with 10,000 people across the river. He brought 10,000 people to siege. Xi Fengrong is a veteran general who has been a long time. He knew that something abnormal must be strange. He only couldn't find the rest of Daning's troops now. He first annihilated these 10, captured the main general alive, and then asked about the whereabouts of the Daning army.

This house led 20,000 people across the river and chased him, but he knew that he had been chasing for ten miles across the river, but he could only hear the shouting and shouting in front of him, and the rumbling horse hooves were not seen. The two armies were fighting. Xi Fengrong couldn't help but frown and asked the man,

"Where is the Daning Forward Army?"

The following person reported,

"The Dutong Army, the people of Daning are very cunning and do not fight with our army. As soon as they come into contact, they slammed the horse and rushed. The deputy commander in front was already leading the people to chase him!"

Xi Fengrong thought to himself after hearing this,

"The people of Daning are cunning... I'm afraid they know that someone is ambushing me, but only ten thousand people naturally dare not respond. They will walk twenty miles ahead and enter the mountain. Naturally, they want to run into the mountains to hide..."

The command is now passed on,

"Chasing me! You must stop people before they enter the mountain!"

"yes!"

In fact, if you chase and catch up in the dark, the road is tortuous, and both sides dare not run too fast. One is bad, the end of the situation where the person is leaning on the horse and turning his bones and tendons are broken.

Xifengrong's army was led by Ge Wenlang's ten thousand people and ran forward. Yan Qisheng calculated the time afterwards. At the third update, he led the army to gallop quickly. On the back of the speeding horse, Guan Feiying and Yang Yang, beside him, asked,

"General, General Ge took someone to lure the Xixia army forward, if someone catches up..."

Yan Qisheng waved his hand,

"Don't worry, the most dangerous thing is the twenty miles. As long as Ge Wenlang runs fast enough, he will be able to enter the mountain when the Xixia people catch up with him. When we quickly whip to the Mingsha River, and after crossing the river safely, we will chase them with the tails of the Xixia people..."

Although Yan Qisheng was brave, he was not reckless. He knew that from Xiliang, he was heading to Xiping. The closer Xiping Prefecture, the more he wanted to guard against Xixia's troops. As he went all the way, there was Mingsha River blocking the road ahead. Most of the generals leading Xixia would choose here to set up an ambush.

Ge Wenlang asked to be the vanguard, led 10,000 people as bait to attract the enemy to track it, and then Yan Qisheng led the army behind to wait for an opportunity to move, and a mantis stalked the cicada oriole behind.

Ge Wenlang's ten thousand people came out from the beginning, with their backs and three arrow pouches on their backs. They did not fight against the Xixia people in close combat. They turned around and shot arrows back. After crossing the river, they ran all the way to the mountains. Xi Fengrong's people chased behind and ate a lot of cold arrows.

After chasing, Ge Wenlang immediately sent an order to go down.

"Abandon the horse!"

Ten thousand people were all turned over and got off the horse, climbing up like monkeys on the steep mountain walls on both sides of the mountain road, but the horse under his crotch slapped the butt, and the sound of hooves rumbled and ran forward one after another.

The people of Xixia didn't know the details, and followed them and got many arrows. The roads in the mountain road were narrow and crowded. The people of Daning didn't have to aim too much in the dark. When the arrows were raining down, some people would always scream and fall to the ground.

Soon after, Xi Fengrong felt something was wrong, and Jin Ma ordered,

"Appoint the front army to stop pursuing!"

There was a commander who had sent the command. Xi Fengrong looked up at the sky and said in his heart,

"Wait for another half an hour and the sky will be bright. Although the mountain is large, there are only 10,000 people in Daning. It can be said that it is isolated and helpless when we go deep into our country. We must not stay there for a long time. Why should we be anxious for a while? Just search the mountains slowly when dawn!"

The people of Xixia stopped chasing and slowly retreated out of the mountains. Seeing this, Ge Wenlang took advantage of this to order his subordinates.

"Everyone is looking for a place to hide, so let's rest and rest in place, and there is still a battle to fight after dawn!"

The guard beside him asked,

"General, if General Yan cannot come as scheduled with his army, then wouldn't we be in danger?"

Ge Wenlang heard this and smiled bitterly, and replied,

"That depends on our luck!"

The personal guard asked quietly,
Chapter completed!
