"Wang Shengbao, Lu Prime Minister.⊙,"

"The last one will be there."

"Divide the cavalry into two units, stationed in the east and west battalions. When Li Renquan's central army was shaken, you will lead the troops, take heavy cavalry first, attack the Mongol camp, and drive them to the north. Remember, the troops are in chaos, and some escapes are inevitable, but if one or two thousand-person teams are missing, you two will not be able to see me, and wipe your neck clean by yourself."

"Yes, Grandmaster."

"The last general is the order."

These two people can be said that such words as the Duke of Jin are no longer suitable for them. They are both true believers of the General Zhao Shi, and they follow the orders.

Wang Shengbao returned from Kelie's army and was promoted to the fourth-rank military position. Over the years, Lu Prime Minister has been highly valued by Zhang Feng and has been promoted quickly. Although he has accumulated military merits in the Hedong Army, he is only half a rank worse than Wang Shengbao.

These two people are both Hedong generals. As soon as the general Zhao Shi arrived in Kaifeng, the two had automatically come to Zhao Shi's tent to obey the order. Zhong Huaiyu, the former Shangguan, could no longer command them.

In fact, at this time, there were only 70,000 or 80,000 people in the Qin army guarding Kaifeng. The men and horses led by Wang Shengbao and Lu Xiang were all cavalry, so the soldiers who could truly be used to defend the city would be at most 50,000.

Like Kaifeng, a big city with a population of nearly one million and 50,000 defenders can be called weak, and even the city walls are unsatisfied.

Moreover, Kaifeng Fangding must guard against the people in the city to cause chaos. In this way, the troops are in short supply, and it is also possible to imagine what is going on.

There were no reinforcements, and the Heluo army was exhausted. Zhao Shiyan ordered the Heluo troops not to advance half a step east and stationed on the spot to prevent the Huaiyouyue East and Lei from going north.

In this way, Zhao Shi competed with tens of thousands of enemy troops under the city, which was the 70,000 to 80,000 people in Kaifeng.

But as long as they hear their conversation above the city wall, they can hear that their confidence in winning this battle is almost beyond words.

As the commander-in-chief, Zhao Shi regarded tens of thousands of enemy troops outside the city as if nothing had happened. His subordinates still agreed and no one advised him. Obviously, the Qin army was already confident.

However, in the Hebei army camp outside the city, the commander of the Hebei army, King Yan and Li Renquan, who had a great advantage in military strength, were full of worries.

At nearly seventy years old, his hair and beard are all white, and his face and body are deeply tired. This rebel general of the Qin army who had been in power for twenty years is already in vain and has no longer had the style of the past.

He camped on the bank of the Yellow River, which was actually a helpless move.

He was unwilling to lead his army south to confront the Qin army, which was in full swing at this time.

If it was ten years ago, he would be happy to lead his army to fight with the Qin army, so that the thieves in the Qin Dynasty who were in vain knew that Li Renquan should be the mainstay of the Qin Dynasty, not Zhao Shi and Zhao Zhuguo.

But now it is different. As he grows old, the Qin Dynasty becomes stronger and stronger. It is almost impossible to see how many people were trapped in a corner back then. When he fights hard, he will be embarrassed in a weak country like Shu.

The territory of the Great Qin Dynasty has expanded rapidly in the past 20 or 30 years. The troops are all hindered.

It took Kaifeng a few days before it was attacked by the Qin people.

Yue Dongleikong was named a famous general of the Later Zhou Dynasty, but at this time he could only stay in Xiangyang and become a turtle with a head-shrinking turtle.

The powerful gold has now disappeared.

Xixia, the feud of the Qin Dynasty, died in a battle, and the Hu people on the grassland fell to the feet of the Qin Dynasty and allowed them to drive them.

I heard that the Tubo people also surrendered, and the Uighurs lowered their heads in the distant west.

The Qin Dynasty has become a huge creature that he is hard to imagine. With such a vast territory, how much manpower and material resources are there for them to squander? How many heroes are there willing to drive it?

If he could have predicted the scene today, then what would he have never been to the young boy and to be soft-hearted?

However, there is no if. Today, he finally led his troops to fight against his old friends, and it can also be said to have fought against the battlefield with hatred.

Over the years, he has dreamed of this in his dream at midnight.

But at this point, the taste was so bitter that it was almost unbearable.

Under the forced order of the Mongols, he personally led his troops to the south and stayed in Hebei behind him, making him so empty that it was scary.

The Mongols could ignore these things. The more chaotic the south, the happier they were.

But he can't do it. Hebei is the foundation of his many years of business. What's the chaos now?

Zhang Rou, this unfamiliar ungrateful wolf, stabbed him hard in the back. Hebei, which was already in chaos, suddenly became a mess.

But I wanted to follow the Mongols to come south and fight against the Qin army, so the morale of the army would not be very stable.

And Hebei is so empty. Once... in the river, the Qin army in Hedong saw the loophole and came over from Taihang. Such a large army's retreat...

So, this time he went south, as soon as he crossed the Yellow River, he chose to set foot on the bank of the Yellow River, firmly watched the ferry, and gathered the boats together.

He had no intention of fighting to the death in Kaifeng City, so that was undoubtedly the way to die.

The morale of the army is unstable, the road to retreat is worrying, and the military strategists are taboo, and they have already committed too many crimes. If he stopped the army under the strong city and fought into a tired army, he would not dare to imagine what a miserable ending would be like.

The Mongols also wanted to rob and rob, just like the things they had done in Liaodong and Hebei, relying on the advantage of their four legs to turn Henan upside down.

But you don't even look at where this is.

This is Henan. I just passed the war. What place can you rob?

In Zhengzhou to the west, there were Qin troops guarding him, threatening the army to the back.

On the south side of Kaifeng, there are two Huaihe Rivers, not to mention the territory of the Song people, even if it is the territory of the Qin people, wherever you reach your four legs, it is better to have two legs bento.

So, he grabbed two tough wolf-like Mongolian generals and brought out all the great khans of the Mongolians. Fortunately, the Mongolians seemed to be just using this trick and talked to them well, and they really might not be able to listen.

It took a lot of words to make them dispel the idea of ​​leaving the army and acting on their own, so he also gained some confidence.

He had seen more of the Mongol cavalry, and such cavalry should not be able to be defeated by the Qin people.

Two teams of 10,000 people are enough to win the army of 100,000.

This is his understanding, and it is only ten thousand and ten thousand after that. It is incomparable to the Jurchens. It is a similar thing. They are all people who are afraid of being beaten by the Hu people. It is not an exaggeration to think.

Li Renquan walked out of the tent and looked at the tall city walls of Kaifeng and the Qin army flags flying on the city walls, and was a little stunning.

Beside him, his eldest son and several adopted sons.

If it were the same, it would have been very lively, but now, no one is talking, they all know that their father has always been in a bad mood. At the same time, leaving Hebei and coming to fight against the Qin people in the south made them feel unsure. They also care about their hometown behind them, just like many soldiers in the army.

This is the morale of the army. The soldiers from Hebei have been powerful soldiers in the world since the Tang Dynasty and are also a place where heroes emerge.

But now, it's okay not to say it...

Li Renquan looked at the sky. The weather was much colder. It was winter soon. Li Renquan felt a little lucky. In a few days, he should be able to withdraw his troops.

He glanced at the corner of his eyes like a few sons, and sighed in his heart, it would be great if Zhang Rou was there at this time. He could cut off the rear when retreating, and serve as a pioneer when advancing, and negotiate military affairs with him. In such a dilemma, he must have some insights...

However, such thoughts only appeared in his mind for a moment and were replaced by anger.

"Report..."

"Report to the prince...the ferry...the ferry is lost."

Before Li Renquan could come back to his senses, he asked, "What?" Then, without the answer from the general who almost crawled his head into the soil, Li Renquan's body shook.

His face suddenly turned pale.

The ferry is lost? How could it be?

He suddenly turned around and looked behind him. It was the ferry crossing where the army came from south. It looked very quiet, how could it be lost?

"No, the army is surrounding it, how can the ferry be lost..."

His eldest son had already spoken for him.

"No... it's the ferry on the north bank. Prince, someone escaped, and the brothers saw it. It was indeed the Qin people. Judging from the banner, it should be from the other side of the river..."

Everyone was in a state of silence and hugged Li Renquan together, and came to the bank of the Yellow River to look north.

The news cannot be hidden at all.

That night, there was a faint fire on the north bank of the Yellow River. During the day the next day, smoke columns went straight to the sky, which was the Qin army sending signals.

In fact, before the war began under Kaifeng City, the Hebei army was in chaos.

In Li Renquan's central army tent, the generals in Hebei were quarreling together. Even the generals were like this, let alone the soldiers, deserters began to appear in the Hebei army.

The Mongols stationed on both sides of the Hebei army all rode on war horses and prepared to join forces. In this way, the army moved lightly and the chaos caused can be imagined.

The Mongols didn't care about the life and death of the Han army. Boerhu and Chi Lao Wen, who had learned the news, just wanted to get together at this time, work together to suppress the morale of the Han army, and then turn back to fight the Qin army to decisively.

But their actions completely put the Hebei army in chaos.

Because they had never fought in concert with the Han army and had no idea what rules should the Han people follow when fighting.

At this time, the Song army of the Huai Zuo, who had already been frightened, turned around and left without any hesitation after hearing the news that the friendly forces in Hebei were in chaos without fighting.

In the early morning, several gates opened wide at the north gate of Kaifeng City. The Qin soldiers who had already prepared left the city one after another and calmly lined up in an army.

The ease of this battle was expected, but also unexpected.

The Qin army never took the four-family slaves from Hebei seriously. What exactly did the soldiers in Hebei look like? Without Zhang Rou's description, the spies could explore clearly.

The only person who looks a little bit like that may be Zhang Rou's troops, but he has come to Qin to the south.

The Hebei army is full of people, but they are all like native chickens and tile dogs, vulnerable. In this battle, the only thing that needs to be greeted is actually two Mongolian 10,000 teams from the south.

Although they had not received much training, they were elite cavalry who grew up in the war. Zhao Shi knew very well about their terribleness.

This is the reason why you know yourself and your enemy and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

However, the Qin army, including Zhao Shi, did not expect that the Hebei Li Renquan army would be so chaotic, so quickly and thoroughly.

When the Qin army formation gradually took shape, the Hebei army camp was already full of fire, as if there was a mutiny.

The Mongols and Han Army were entangled and difficult to separate.
