Diliwa and Tushipu have always been firmly controlled by Yangshan Village. These two villages are adjacent to Yangshan Village, which is the most convenient way to gather people. There are many men and Zhuang in the village. The person in charge is the old man who broke into Songling with Zheng Ze, and the mobilization is very quick. When Zheng Renwang and Zhao Qiandao came to the two villages respectively, the sound of alarm gongs in the village immediately sounded, and every household's young men and Zhuang returned to the house to get weapons, either horizontal swords, wooden guns, or short axes. Some hunter children carried hunting bows and quiver pots, and soon gathered in the open space outside the village.

Zheng Renwang and Zhao Qiandao each selected 200 people, each carrying the food they prepared, and rushed to Yuerpu. In the evening, the Yuerpu was already strong and powerful. In addition to the 400 people from Diliwa and Tushipu, the hundreds of elite dead soldiers in Yangshan Village had already arrived here under the leadership of Zheng Tianwang. Together with the 60 village servants selected from Yuerpu, more than 560 people had gathered here.

After all, the three brothers of the Zheng family were some of their family studies, especially Zheng Tianwang and Zheng Diwang. They had seen their father's troops in their early years, and competed with Zhangjiabao for many years and had a lot of experience in leading the army. After gathering the village teachers, they immediately set up arrangements, who blocked the mountain roads, who went out to inquire, and who set up posts, looked quite good.

After asking several clever brothers to follow Chu Da to contact the Chu family's inner response in the village, the three Zheng brothers gathered their confidants to gather together and quickly discuss how to attack Shidan Village. After a long time of discussion, a preliminary plan was made to prepare the third Zheng Renwang to take two hundred brothers to attack head-on, Zhao Qiandao took two hundred brothers to rush down from the hill in the north of the village to launch a side attack, and Zheng Tianwang led the other brothers as reserve reinforcements. For this reason, Zheng Tianwang specifically instructed Zhao Qiandao to be decisive and quick when attacking sideways, and to step directly behind the Khitans to prevent the Khitans from escaping on horses. After all, we got news from Chu Da that the Khitans in Shidan Village had dozens of war horses, and if they fled along the river valley, it would be difficult to pursue.

Before dawn, the fish shop was like a pot. More than 500 people stood up in a hurry to clean up. After breakfast, they came out of the fish shop and headed straight to Shidan Village. Shidan Village is five miles away from the fish shop, and there is a green mountain in the middle. It takes more than an hour to climb. The three Zheng brothers led their troops to climb over the green mountains. After descending to the river valley, the sky was already bright, and the fog rising from the river surface had not yet dissipated. The sight of Dai could not see the thirty steps away, which was extremely effective in marching.

When there was still a little land left in Shidan Village. King Zheng was about to divide his troops according to the plan and prepared Zhao Qiandao to lead people to climb the hill in the north of the village, but heard a noise coming from the front. King Zheng was furious. This place was already very close to Shidan Village. Wouldn't it reveal his whereabouts? He hurried over and stopped him, but saw several figures running over in the thick fog. It was Chu Da and others who were sent out to contact him.

King Zheng was next to King Zheng. When he saw Chu Da and others' expressions were panicked, he felt that the situation had changed. As expected, Chu Dahuang said anxiously: "Several village leaders, the Khitans are about to run away, kill them quickly."

King Zheng came forward to ask, and Chu Da told the story in a few words. But it turned out that he sneaked home quietly last night and discussed with his own adults. He just waited for the Yangshan Village army to come. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that several generals led by the Khitans were sleeping. But somehow, just a moment ago, more than 100 Khitans stationed in Shidan Village were busy packing their luggage, as if they were about to run away. Chu Dashou hurriedly came out to report in the chaos.

King Zheng was very surprised and asked carefully: "The Khitans knew about the news that they were waiting for? Are they going to escape back to Liujiatun? How was the news leaked? Have you seen it carefully? Is there any fraud?"

Chu Da stomped his feet in a hurry and said, "The second village leader, there will be no fraud. The Khitans were very panicked. Many people hurried out from the house without even taking the armor and weapons. I guess they got the news, but I don't know how the news was leaked. Go quickly, it will be too late if it is too late."

King Zheng was extremely anxious when he heard this. The original plan must have been impossible, so he did not divide his troops to attack sideways. He just called on his brothers to speed up. More than 500 people rushed towards Shidan Village with shouts, and rushed into the village in a moment.

At this time, the thick fog gradually dissipated and the sky was brighter. The Chu family was waiting for the soldiers from Yangshan Village at the entrance of the village. Mr. Chu and the three brothers of Zheng had been dealing with each other for many years. When they saw King Zheng, they hurriedly met him and said, "Master of the Great Village, hurry up, the Khitans ran away and headed along the river valley toward Liujiatun."

King Zheng asked hurriedly: "How long have you been running?"

Mr. Chu took the lead to the village back and said as he walked: "If you walk from the village back and forth, they don't have enough horses and can't run fast in less than a cup of tea."

Zheng Diwang wanted to ask a few more questions, but the third brother Zheng Renwang shouted loudly: "Brothers, come with me, don't let the Khitans run away." He had already called on the brothers to chase after him in the direction guided by Mr. Chu. There were shouts of shouting and killing, which made the village chaotic. Zheng Diwang wanted to hold his own Sanlang, but there was no time. Not only did he not hold Zheng Renwang, but even Zheng Tianwang commanded the brigade to rush out, and he had no choice but to follow behind helplessly.

After the Yangshan Village soldiers chased out of Shidan Village, they walked around a river beach along the valley. The river channel in front of them was straight and the vision was wide. From a distance, they saw more than a hundred Khitans running in a mess, discarding many swords, guns and helmets on the road. Twenty or thirty of the Khitans were riding horses. When they turned around, they saw the pursuers of Yangshan Village, and they also rushed to shout for the Khitan deserters to speed up their journey. The two sides were separated by hundreds of steps, chasing and escaping, and the shouts of killing shocked the valley.

After chasing for more than a mile, the speed of Khitan deserters' running slowed down significantly. Zheng Renwang was secretly happy and thought that these Hu people really couldn't walk when they got off the horse. Although he was tired, he walked in the valleys in the mountains all year round, and his physical strength and endurance were far superior to the other party. Seeing that the Khitans in front were getting closer and closer, he turned around and shouted: "Brothers, work harder, and you will get rewards after catching up."

The Khitans were caught up, and the twenty or thirty cavalry who were walking in the front didn't care about the infantry behind them. They raised their whips and urged the horse to escape first. Only seventy or eighty infantry left fled behind, and the two sides were only a hundred steps away.

There was another bend in front of him. The Khitan infantrymen passed the bend and continued to escape. The King of Zheng also urged the camp soldiers to follow closely. When he turned the bend, he suddenly took a breath of coldness and a strange feeling rose from his heart. On the open land of the river beach in front of him, there was a square formation of infantry hundreds of steps away, arranged horizontally and vertically, extremely strict, barely blocking the open space on the river beach. Before the Khitan deserters rushed to the phalanx, they immediately divided into two routes, circled around the phalanx, and gathered again. They took the swords, spears and other weapons handed over by their companions, rode on the war horses that had been prepared, and arranged a cavalry formation diagonally behind them.

Zheng Renwang wanted to stop his brothers, and shouted: "Stop" the soldiers beside him saw the enemy formation in front of him, and they all stopped one after another. But at the bend of the river, the brigades behind could not see the situation ahead and were still crowded. Zheng Renwang shouted several times but couldn't stop drinking, and he was also crowded and moved forward. Several village chiefs were squeezed down the riverside by crowded people. Fortunately, the river was not deep, so they hurriedly climbed up the river bank, but they were already in a mess. It was not until more than 500 people turned the bend that the team finally stopped. Hundreds of people were gasping for breath, and stared at the army formation blocking the way by the river beach in front of them in a daze.

King Zheng Tian and King Zheng Di both squeezed forward and stood side by side with King Zheng Ren. The three brothers of Zheng carefully looked at the military formation in front, and couldn't help but feel dry. The military formation was very solemn, with three rows of long spears in front and densely arranged in the rear, but they couldn't see what weapons were. A little rougher, they could not touch about 300 people. The soldiers in the military formation were covered with yellow cloth uniforms, leather armor, swords and spears were as tight as the forest, and swords and halberds were tight. Although the summer was hot, the military formation was emitting a cold chill. In addition, the Khitans who were chased and fled in a panic just now also listed neat cavalry formations diagonally behind the military formation, everyone rode horses, and each drew swords and soldiers, armor and horses were obviously fully equipped.

Both square formations were silent and motionless, only the flags in the formation were raised lightly in the morning breeze. There were two large flags in the front stair formation, and one square flag was written with a large character "Li". I carefully identified it. There were two lines of small characters on both sides of the character "Lulong Guerrilla General of the Tang Dynasty" and "Liucheng Army Envoy, Yan County Magistrate" respectively. The other large flag was written with the character "Zhang", and the two sides were "Yingzhou Army Yimao School Captain" and "Yu Hou Sidu Yu Hou".

The three brothers of Zheng stood there for a long time, and the King of Zheng murmured: "I fell into a trap... I was not a Khitan, but a court, and a surname of Li..."

King Zheng said with a bitter face and fucked his lips, "Erlang, what should we do?"

King Zheng calmed down and gritted his teeth and said, "Dalang, there are only more than 400 people on the opposite side of the formation. We have more than 500 fights, but I don't believe it, but I can't break away." Although that was said, seeing the opponent's bright armor and the rigorous formation, I couldn't help feeling weak.

King Zheng called Zhao Qiandao behind him: "Old Zhao, see if there are any enemy troops behind him."

Zhao Qiandao squeezed back and replied for a moment: "No one behind."

King Zheng said to King Zheng Tianwang: "Dalang, what do you mean, you should take a hundred people to guard the way for your brothers."

King Zheng knew his Erlang's intention. In addition to guarding the rear road, he also had the intention of protecting himself. Seeing that the opponent's army was very strict, this battle was probably difficult to fight. If he was defeated, he could escape first. He was a responsible person, but he refused to escape from his own life. He said immediately: "Second, you can't leave here when you go back to defend the rear road. If you leave, the brothers will all be separated and the battle will not be fought. If there is a situation, the Zheng family will rely on you."

The King of Zheng advised him a few more words, but King of Zheng just refused. When this crisis was in danger, he couldn't persuade him again. The Zheng family always had to leave one person to wait for the future. Therefore, he didn't say more, squeezed himself to the back and ordered a hundred people to guard the rear road behind the river bend.

The Yingzhou military formation was solemn for a moment, and an officer came out and shouted: "The bandits ahead heard the truth. Zhang Duyu of a certain family said: Those who abandoned their weapons and surrendered will be exempted from death, those who resisted the enemy will be killed for a limited time, and don't blame the army for slaughtering in the past."
