'Hu, Hu…' Zhao Qie gasped and climbed to the top of the mountain. There was not much snow on the mountain, but the mountain wind moved all the snow into the valley. He didn't care about rest, looked around,

It was seen that the mountain top was spreading like a land within ten miles, and the cliff hundreds of meters high cut the mountain to an extremely dangerous place, and there was no sight of people. The cliff opposite could not see the bottom at first glance, and the depth of the valley could not be guessed.

Looking back at the road here, teams of ZTE soldiers were walking hard among the mountain roads in snow. The team was hidden among the mountains and intermittently, and there was no end!

"How far is it from Black Stone Ridge Fort?" Zhao Qi asked Jiang Fei who was following him.

"Report to the prince, the scout has received less than ten miles!" Jiang Fei pointed to a place among the mountains and replied, "The place where Feihu Road crosses the mountain is where the Black Stone Ridge Fort is located, and it is also a place where Feihu Road must cross. The valley looks smooth and

It is not tragic, and it is precisely the thinnest place in the north and south of this area."

"Well, let all departments find places to camp in the leewards. Go out three miles to send a guard post to control the commanding heights of the intersection. Anyone who enters the guard area will be arrested and no information will be disclosed!" Zhao Qi nodded and said, "Jiang Fei, you send a scout to Heishi Shi.

Ridge Fort, look for any paths to go around!”

"Yes, Prince!" Jiang Fei said.

"Prince, the wind is rising, let's go down the mountain!" As soon as the sky darkened, the mountain wind suddenly rose. Wangfu stood with the limelight on his back to cover the whistling north wind for the prince. The person was blown and shaking like fallen leaves on the branches.

"Okay..." As soon as Zhao Qiong said, his mouth was filled with wind. At this moment, the mountain wind was blowing. The snow in the valley was flying, forming balls of fiercely flying snow fog in front of the road. Like countless

The demons were in trouble, and everyone hurriedly pulled each other and moved down the mountain. It was easy to get lost in the wind and snow. It would be even worse if they accidentally fell into the valley...

After Zhao Zhen learned that the Jin army had captured Bianjing, he quickly launched a large-scale attack on the Tatars, defeating the army that invaded Fengshengzhou, and the Tatars fled into the desert in scattered. Although this battle did not completely defeat him.

But the situation was urgent, Zhao Zhen decided to stop the pursuit and canceled the battle plan to attack the northern desert, and ordered the hunting cavalry brigade to continue to clear the remnants, leaving Yelu Yuxi for the time being

In charge of the aftermath of Fengshengzhou, he led his army to Beijing and planned to aid the Song Dynasty!

After a series of events over the years, Zhao Qiong has realized that the Song Dynasty is now terminally ill and difficult to return. The emperor is unjust, the scholars are numb, and the people live in dire straits. Even if there is no invasion of foreign tribes, they will be destroyed by civil strife.

To change the decay of the superstructure and the foundation is not solid, it is difficult to solve the problem of the Song Dynasty by repairing and repairing it. Instead, it requires a "major operation", otherwise it will only collapse.

After Zhao Qiong's years of efforts, Xijing has revitalized new vitality, not only achieved military victory, but also stabilized internal affairs. Although there was also the case of King Yeluding of Liang's departure, it did not bring anything to Xijing.

The impact is like the water surface in the pond that is wrinkled by the wind. As soon as the wind passes, it immediately returns to calm, as if nothing has happened.

Zhao Qi realized that if the problems within the system cannot be solved, it will be solved by the outside of the system. Although the invasion of foreign races broke the century-old peace of the Song Dynasty and brought suffering to a nation, it will also reactivate a pool of stagnant water.

Awakening people's conscience and bringing a change. What remains of the big waves will be gold. Only by ruining an old world can a new world be built!

Now the Xijing army has severely damaged the Black Tatar tribes, and the threat from the north has temporarily disappeared; although Xixia accepted the conditions of the Jin Dynasty, it was surprisingly calm this time. Not only did it notify Xijing in advance and said that it would never join the Jurchens again.

The Jurchens in the east were their biggest enemies, but now the Jurchens are heading south to invade Song, taking a defensive stance against Xijing, and are unable to use troops against them; while the Song Dynasty in the south is already in a storm and can't take care of themselves.

After some discussion, the people in Xijing thought it was time to lend aid to the Song Dynasty to enter the Central Plains, which was exactly the same as Zhao Qi's intention. So he decided to continue to use Princess Yu Liyan to temporarily replace the state affairs. Now, the various departments in Xijing surrendered,

No one dared to challenge her authority. Prime Minister Zhao Li was in charge of military power in Xijing. General Lion was stationed south of Xijing, and general Tiger was stationed north of Xijing to prevent incidents. The remaining troops of the Zhongxing Army sent troops to aid the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Qiong knew very well that the Central Plains had been a must-fight place in the history of Chinese wars since ancient times. From the map, the Central Plains was like the waist of the entire country. Whoever controlled the Central Plains was equivalent to taking the initiative in the war. This area included Hebei.

The entire territory, some prefectures and counties in Henan, southern Shanxi, northwest and Taihang Mountains. Now the Jurchens actually controlled this area, and the Song Dynasty had promised to ced the area north of the Yellow River, but many prefectures and cities did not obey the imperial edict and still insisted on it.

It is the blank area of ​​the entire battlefield, but it is also a power vacuum area.

There are two ways to help the Song Dynasty. One is to borrow the road from Hedong to Luoyang. This road is mostly a major road and is also a plain, suitable for cavalry to gallop. However, in order to prevent the Song Dynasty and Hedong, the Jin army went to Bianjing to prevent the Jin army from sending assistance to Bianjing.

The troops were already in heavy defense along the way, but I didn't know what Hedong's attitude towards Xijing; the other way was to go through Weizhou to Zhongshan. This road was mostly mountainous, which was not conducive to cavalry operations, and Weizhou was still in the hands of the Jurchens.

There must be battles along the way, but you can unexpectedly appear behind the Jurchens, control two important Hebei towns in Zhending and Zhongshan, and cut off the Jurchens' return.

After careful consideration, Zhao Qi decided to split his troops into two groups to aid the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yong as the general manager of the South Road, Zhao Yi as the deputy general manager, Xu Hong as the supervisor, and commanded the various divisions of the Zhongxing Army, the dragon general and the tiger general.

The fifth and sixteenth brigades, strengthen the baggage brigade, and the artillery brigade set out from Shuozhou, heading to Luoyang southeast of the river, leveraging the advantages of the cavalry, and heading south quickly; the other brigade uses Zhao Meng as the general manager of the North Road, Zhao Lian as the deputy general manager, and Wang

Jin was the commander of the army's generals, the first, second, third and third brigades and the five brigades except the second brigade of the Desert. The second brigade and the second artillery brigade were strengthened to send troops from Yingzhou to capture Lingqiu and take the flying fox; the prince Zhao Qi followed the north

Operation Road, a unit of the Guard Division accompanied the guards, and the remaining guards of the Royal City...

After the order was issued, the Wolf Gang Mountain Brigade, who had been training in Yingzhou, set off a swagger in the name of exercises, while the Jurchens in Weizhou had long been accustomed to it. They did not raise their vigilance, but they were dealt with by the cooperation of the tiger generals.

A sudden attack. A brigade quickly captured Lingqiu and occupied the starting position. Then a brigade occupied the north entrance of Feihu Xing without stopping and blocked all intersections to prevent leaks of information. The northern route army quickly advanced through the open access.

A road naturally emerges between the Taihang Mountains, Yanshan Mountains and Hengshan Mountains, which is Feihu Xing, which is known as "the danger of the world". The north end of Feihu Valley is Beikou Village. The origin of the village name is self-evident.

After leaving Beikou Village, the Huliuhe Basin is where the mountains are flat and there is no danger to guard. Therefore, all dynasties have only set up checkpoints at Beikou and there are no heavy troops to guard it.

Going northward is what the ancients call "Flying Hu Valley Water", that is, Feihu Valley, Forty Lili Valley. The valleys are rapidly subsided, but the peaks on both sides are steep and straight, narrow without interruption.

It is no exaggeration to describe it as a "line of sky". The steep mountain peaks are basically more than 30 meters. The width of the valley is between six and twenty meters. The more you go down the mountain, the wider the valley, and the two mountains are, the wider the valley, and the two mountains are

Still towering into the clouds, I was in it. I was shocked.

Heishi Ridge is in Feihu Valley, which was called "Changshan Pass" in the Han Dynasty. It is also called "Feihuji". This ridge is steep and steep. In ancient times, defending Heishi Ridge in wars was equivalent to guarding the big passage of Feihukou.

Entering the flying fox, but Heishiling is not possible. However, there are two gates in the Central Plains of Datong, Juyongguan is behind, and Zijing Pass is in front of it. Those who walk in Yongguan must pass Jiming Mountain, and those who walk in Zijing must pass Heishiling - guard Heishiling

It is equivalent to defending Feihu Xing. Both of them prosper and both prosper and lose...

"It is the middle of winter, and Feihuyu is extremely cold. There are often people. Livestock are frozen to death in the mountains. You must pay attention to keeping warm at night. Sentinels should change their guards frequently. People should move more and never stay still for a long time." Zhao Zhen said this

I don't know how many times he said it along the way, but he still impatiently reminded every officer he met. He crawled into a military camp built with a snow wall and said.

"Prince, don't worry, we have all undergone training in this regard, and the clothes on our bodies are warm and well, so there will be no problems!" Chang Chao, the commander of the Wolf General, said with a smile. They were pioneers all the way, grabbing the pass and walking in front of the village.

, and it depends on their attack on Blackstone Ridge.

"Take out your towel and I'll see where it is placed?" Zhao Xiao said casually at a soldier. These soldiers were given a new set of winter clothes before departure. They not only had thermal underwear, but also duck down cold-proof clothes.

, and there are gadgets such as hoods, gloves, snow-proof leggings and quick-made snowshoes.

"Prince, this..." The soldier blushed, but when he saw the prince's serious expression, he took out his towel from his crotch with embarrassment.

"Haha, it's not bad. This is not embarrassing. If you make your urinary incontinence wet your pants, the mildest ones will be cut off, and the worst ones will be your life!" Zhao Qi patted the soldier's shoulder and said with satisfaction.

"Chang Chao, tell the Huojun to make more meat, hot rice, boil some boiling water, and not eat cold food, and keep your energy!" Zhao Qiong walked out of the sleazy house and said.

"Prince, we only brought food and grass for ten days. We don't know what the situation is going on before, so we should save some money!" Chang Chao said.

"Well, you don't have to get ahead, it will be better!" Zhao Qi said after thinking about it.

This time they sent troops on a mountain road, and they caught the heavy snow this year, and the road was difficult to walk. This time, they were fighting away from the base area. Zhao Jie ordered all the baggage brigades to carry all the pack horses, but they carried mostly ammunition and medicine.

, the food and grass are only five days of emergency food, and the transportation capacity of the brigade supply teams can only ensure ten days of grain supply.

But after entering Feihu Xing, the mountain road was narrow and difficult to walk, and the whole valley was like a huge ventilation duct, with the howling cold wind blew through it. Zhao Qi estimated that according to modern standards, there must be about minus thirty degrees below thirty degrees.

Mountain hordes introduced from Yunnan and Guizhou could not withstand the severe cold and were frozen to death. Some horses fell into the valley on the ice and snow. Therefore, transportation of materials was also very difficult, and there was still a half way to go to solve the problem of food.

I can only walk out of this mountain road as soon as possible, and I must attack Heishi Ridge Fort as soon as possible to open up the road ahead...

The next day, due to the unclear situation, Zhao Qi did not launch a rash attack. He was worried that it would take time and effort to increase the enemy's troops and fight again, so he decided to go close to the scene in person. Fortunately, it was winter.

The mountains were covered with heavy snow and there was nowhere to be reached, and there was only one road to pass. He blocked the post shops along the way in advance, successfully preventing the news of their troops from leaking.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the mountain was covered with a layer of mist. Zhao Qi quietly led Zhao Meng and a team of guards forward to prevent being discovered by the enemy. They were all wearing white cloaks, backpacks, and helmets.

They also put on white masks, in addition to these. Zhao Qi also asked guns, bullet boxes, kettles, and even pistol holsters. The consultant's picture bags were all turned white, and the eyes that were lying in the snow were leaking outside.

The black ones are integrated with the environment.

In order to make it easier to observe the full view of this ancient road, they climbed the highest mountain nearby and walked up the higher the wind. The stronger the wind, the more people were blown like straw and were unsteadily shaking, while the clouds on their heads seemed to be very low.

Looking at the mountains with strange blue light, Hengshan Mountain is towering and distant mountains are bright. The snow on the mountain reflects the sun, and the weather is very heroic, and I suddenly feel the mind is magnificent. The beautiful and majestic scenery in Taihang Mountains often coexist.

When they climbed to the top of the mountain, the view here is good. The snow is not shallow. Looking down at a white line winding from west to east, the mountain road circling back and forth, without a starting point, and there is no end. In the telescope's lens, Black Stone Ridge seems to be close to you.

In front of you, it is actually a key border pass, with steep mountains and rugged roads. The fortresses are built on it, which is beneficial to defense and the second is easy to see. After Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty became emperor, he immediately asked his general Du Mao and the king to guard it.

Feihukou built pavilions and beacon towers at Heishi Ridge. It was from that time that Heishi Ridge became a place where heavy troops were guarded by all dynasties.

The fort village seemed to be to defend against the enemies in the north, and only opened three village gates in the east, west and south, without the north gate. The city wall was as high as three feet, five feet and six feet, with a circumference of about two hundred and forty steps. Below the fort village was the road.

It is winding and winding, with only two or three feet wide, and only two cars intersecting in the narrow place. The fortress is full of rolling wooden stones. When the enemy attacks, it is enough to smash the stones down.

There are several rows of houses made of blue tiles and stone in the fortress. There is an open space to the south, which should be the schoolyard. Now the news of the loss of Lingqiu should not have reached this place. There are only a few sentries on the wall of the village, looking blankly at the distance.

The road may be because of the cold weather, and there are not many people in the village. However, according to the analysis of the number of barracks, Zhao Qiong will not have fewer than a thousand defenders. With more than a thousand people, you can protect such a dangerous pass that is a one-man who can be a pass without opening.

It is said that the troops are strong.

After seeing it, Zhao Qi sighed lightly. The terrain here is narrow and the troops are difficult to spread. It is unlikely that he would not pay a price to capture the fort even if there is a firearm in his hand. It is probably difficult to break through in a short period of time. He followed the fort.

Looking eastward, a huge ditch appeared in front of you. The place where the ditch was cut was steep and steep. There was a stone wall on the east and west ridges. Obviously, this was part of the Black Stone Ridge Fort defense project. Of course, it might also be for the purpose of

Block the south entrance and make business travelers specialize in Blackstone Ridge Fort.

What aroused Zhao Qi's interest was that the ditch was close to a small mountain plateau on the other side of them. The grass withered and yellow on the snow surface was almost the same height as Heishi Ridge. It was a very good commanding height. If a cannon was set up on it, it was built on it.

The entire fortress is covered by artillery fire. If you break into the south entrance, you can attack the fortress from behind. The mountains there are gentle and the four fields are wide, which is convenient for the development of firepower. Although the village walls are made of stone, they are mostly stones and are difficult to resist.

Bombing of solid artillery shells.

"Tian Bin, can you get the artillery to that high ground?" Zhao Qi asked, pointing to the mountain plateau beside the ditch.

"Prince, the mountain is steep and the horse may not be able to pull it up, but the cannon can be broken down and it should be carried up with manpower!" Tian Bin said after observing carefully for a while.

"If I ask you to do it if you are at night and cannot be discovered by the defenders in the fortress, can you do it?" Zhao Qi asked again.

"Prince, the mountains are covered with snow now, and it is very difficult to transport them during the day. It may not work if you don't raise a fire at night. If you do it well, you will be destroyed by cannons!" Tian Bin said in embarrassment.

"Hmph, if you can shoot shells from the north into the castle, you can't do it, but if you can't do it, no matter what you think of, you must pull the cannon to the mountain plateau tonight, otherwise military law will be carried out!" Zhao Qiong looked up and said, "

He said expressionlessly, in fact, he wanted to pretend to be more ferocious, but his face was frozen now, so he really couldn't get it out!

"Prince, this..." Tian Bin saw that the prince stopped looking at him and turned to Zhao Meng again, "Master, do you think this can work?"

"Who dares to disobey the order of the prince? I don't count if I say it. You should think of a solution yourself. I hope to hear the cannons on the mountain tomorrow!" Zhao Moe spread his hands and said helplessly, Tian

After hearing this, Bin only blamed himself for his miserable life. How could he get this cannon? He stared at the mountain and became stunned.

"Let's retreat. When the sun shines, you can't hide it anymore!" Zhao Qi saw that the staff officer had marked the terrain everywhere on the map and said softly. If you lie down, you will have to freeze it out of the cold...

The next day, when the Jurchens in the Black Stone Ridge Fort discovered a large number of Xijing troops appeared on the mountain road, they were also shocked and rushed to the village to defend, but they were not panicked. Although there were many enemies, they occupied the geographical advantage and wanted to go there from here.

, not that easy!

'Boom, boom, boom' When the Jin army at the south entrance rushed up the village wall, they saw three loud noises on the opposite mountain plateau. Fire flashed by, and iron balls of the cup mouth roared in the village that were just piled up

A huge hole broke out on the wall, and the flying stone chips turned into sharp bullets, killing several Jin soldiers who could not dodge their heads and bleeding... (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better
