The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

A fire broke out in the sky on Wulong Ridge. The fire was so powerful that it reflected the gorge pass nearby as bright as day.

It turned out that after Li Yanxian defeated the Xixia soldiers on the ridge, he directly set fire to the mountain to facilitate the attack on Xiakou Pass.

Seeing the lights all around, the soldiers at Guanxia were setting up ladders faster. Ruda roared on the city and rushed towards the crowd on the opposite side like a tiger...

Before closing the door, Xu Ning led his soldiers and pushed a heavy cart against the door.

There is only one city gate at the southern gate of Xiakou Pass. Because of the throat fortress, it is different from ordinary cities and has no other entrances.

At this moment, there was a chaotic melee in the city. The speed of throwing away logs and rocks had slowed down, and the number was 70 to 80% less than before. When Xu Ning saw the opportunity coming, he hurriedly urged his soldiers to break through the door.

The arrows above were much sparser. The soldiers shouted slogans and rushed forward with all their strength, but this time the door was smashed in a few blows.

The doors are basically thick wood covered with iron sheets, not made of pure metal, so they cannot be pushed open at ordinary times. Even the capital city of the capital does not have such a design.

The two doors were smashed into pieces, revealing the bluestones and other objects piled inside. Xu Ning immediately ordered his soldiers to carry them out.

Not long after, a groove appeared in the doorway, and you could stand in it and no longer be harmed by the city.

The pawns are in high spirits at the moment. Those who climb the ladders and hit the city gates are all vanguard soldiers. As long as they survive a battle, they will be rewarded regardless of victory or defeat.

And if you win, the reward will be even greater.

Now that the city gate has been broken, the city cave has been dug deeper and deeper, and it is safer than before. The arrows and debris above can no longer be hit. Everyone is excited and working hard to carry it.

As the space inside the city cave becomes larger and larger, the more people enter, the faster the transportation speed becomes.

Xu Ning personally went in to supervise. When he arrived at the Thousand Jin Gate, he started to hit the gate again. It didn't take long for the gate to knock down and half of the wall in the doorway collapsed.

At this time, the battle for the key point has become fierce. Ruda and his men are still pressing forward step by step. There are thousands of soldiers walking up the ladder to the city, and they have already occupied half of the Xiakou Pass city wall. .

With the light of the sky-high flames on Wulong Ridge, Zhao Tong could see clearly from behind. Even if the status quo was maintained at the critical moment, it would be fine. As long as the city gate took the initiative, the Xiakou Pass was almost ready to be broken!

He immediately sent soldiers to push the shield cart to cover his body, and moved towards the door, trying to open the passage in the door as quickly as possible.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the debris accumulated in the innermost part of the passage was thrown away with a "bang", and countless arrows were shot from the opposite side.

Xu Ning shouted: "Guard it, guard it all!"

At this time, the fallen debris, rocks and trees turned into a bunker, blocking many arrows in front. Xu Ning hurriedly ordered again: "Throw the torch over!"

This was to prevent the pass from being smeared with fire oil and using fire attacks to deal with the soldiers entering the city. After all, Li Yanxian had just used it in Mingsha City before.

The torch was thrown over but did not light up. Obviously the Xixia army did not want to use fire attack strategy. It may be that the terrain inside was not suitable for using fire. Xu Ning immediately shouted: "Shoot, shoot!"

The soldiers inside the door immediately began to shoot arrows out. At this time, the army behind kept entering the door opening. Under the cover of the arrows of the soldiers in front, they gradually cleared away the debris.

The city gate passage was smooth, and the cavalry could completely enter. Pushing the shield cart forward, Xu Ning took the lead and rushed into the pass.

I just saw that there were gates on both sides of the pass. There were people on the steps at this moment, but not all of them were facing down to guard the door opening, but most of them were looking upward. It turned out that Ruda led the soldiers to occupy the lower city behind the pass. The steps are coming down.

At this moment, the gates and gates were all pressed up. The Xixia soldiers rarely made progress, but the troops led by Lu Da and Xu Ning were like wolves and tigers, charging forward as if they were desperate for their lives.

Especially the 500 friends Ruda brought with him. Although a few of them were lost, most of them are still left. These friends all have some martial arts skills. They can fight against three or five, let alone one against two.

In just a moment, the soldiers moved forward to fight for a few feet. At this time, the distance was so close that the bows and arrows were no longer easy to use, so they started fighting together.

Xu Ning has a yellow gelding on his crotch, a golden helmet and gold armor, and holds a golden gun in front of him. His armor is not an ordinary thing, it is a secondary treasure armor, called the Yanling Circle Golden Armor.

This armor is famous. It is said that it was worn by Xu Chu, a famous general in the late Han Dynasty. It later fell into the hands of Xu Ning's ancestors and became a heirloom of the Xu family.

This golden armor with a circle of wild goose feathers is said to be invulnerable to fire and water. It is said that Xu Chu once wore this armor and fought with Ma Chao for hundreds of rounds. There is no match in the world and it is a treasure of this time.

This armor, worn on the body, is light and stable, and the sword and arrow can't penetrate it. People call him Sai Tangyi. When Xu Ning was in Tokyo, many noble men asked to meet him, and they refused to meet others. look.

This armor was his life. When he lived in the capital, Xu Ning never wanted to wear it. He kept it in a leather box and hung it on the middle beam of his bedroom. Later, his cousin Tang Long, a golden leopard, went to Liangshan to become a bandit and planned to make money for him. , moved to Tokyo to steal armor, and finally tricked him into the mountains, and committed crimes under his false name, and took his family, so Xu Ning entered Liangshan.

Zhao Tong knew about this incident, so when he destroyed Gui Fanlou and took Xu Ning under his command, he sent his men to his cousin Tang Long's hometown, and called this man to Suiyulou to build a black iron heavy sword for Huang Gu, and then he was afraid that he would go there. Liangshan Luocao earned Xu Ning and never let him go.

This time, the special hook and sickle spear that was used to destroy the iron kite was presided over by Tang Long.

Xu Ning, majestic and majestic, wearing golden armor with wild goose feathers, rushed forward. At this moment, a path was separated in the Xixia army, and a general appeared.

Just look at this general who is eight feet tall, wearing a three-pronged leopard helmet, silver leaf armor, and a plain robe. He rides a black horse with a long mane that looks like a snow train. His face is like the bottom of a pot, his arms are broad, and his hands are An iron rod is as thick as the mouth of a teacup.

Xu Ning couldn't help but frown when he saw this, and secretly shouted: "What a rude man!"

The two of them didn't talk nonsense. Xu Ning shook the golden gun in his hand, and a strange python came out of the water and went straight to the general's throat.

This golden spear came like a gust of wind, so fast that the general had no time to parry, and the horse suddenly dodged, swoosh! The golden gun passed by his ear.

Then the general flat-ended the iron rod and hit Xu Ning straight with the wind. Xu Ning sank the golden gun and knocked it away with a "clang", and then shouted: "Ah, what a strong force!" The general sneered, He turned around and withdrew his stick, and hit Xu Ning again. Xu Ning quickly dodged and then dragged the golden gun backwards in an attempt to escape.

The big man was filled with joy when he saw this, and thought to himself: This Song general is dressed majestically, but he unexpectedly has a silver-like pewter spear head! Immediately, he secretly held the iron rod straight and steady, pointed it at Xu Ning's back and stabbed him in the heart.

This time, the tiger was angry and fierce. Who knew that Xu Ning had been on guard, so he flew the golden gun that he had dragged backwards into the air, and with a clang, it flew out of the circle. He twisted his body and thrust a "backhand golden awl" straight into the general's face.

This ball of golden light was swaying in front of the general's eyes. The general had no time to withdraw the iron rod and was unable to parry. He was so frightened that his soul flew away. He closed his eyes and lowered his head hard.

It was too late, but soon, the golden gun stabbed the general's helmet with a "swish", pushing the helmet several feet away, tearing off a large piece of hair, with a piece of scalp as big as a dollar on it, and blood flowed down the general's helmet. The blood dripped from his forehead, and the general was so frightened that he didn't dare to fight anymore. He jumped out of the circle as soon as he picked up the horse's bridle and fled on horseback.

Xu Ning was not willing to let him go, shouting: "Xia Gou stays alive!"

Just when there was a sound of bridle bells ringing, Xu Ning rushed forward on horseback, holding a gun in one hand, leaning forward slightly, and used a poisonous snake to come out of the hole, "Go to hell"!

This spear was as fast as lightning. He held it with one hand. The barrel of the spear was more than ten feet long. It chased behind the big man and plunged directly into the gap in the armor. The golden spear was also a precious spear. Ordinary weapons may not be able to easily break the general's armor. This golden spear But it seemed to be overwhelming and fell directly into the heart of the general.

The general immediately screamed and fell off his horse!

Xu Ning couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted: "Sons, follow me!"

At this moment, another knight suddenly appeared from the Xixia army. It was a general in iron armor. He held a seven-ring machete and rushed directly to the front. Without saying a word, there was a "crash" sound, and he chopped the Huashan general with all his strength. When he came down, he tried his best to kill Xu Ning with one knife.

Xu Ning raised the golden gun with both arms, making it burn into the sky. He raised the knife out of the circle with a "cang clang", then shook the shining golden gun shaft in his hand, shaking his head and tail, like a silver snake dancing wildly, sometimes nodding wildly with the golden rooster, some The shadow is invisible, the invisible has the shadow, and the gun is never far away from the opponent's general.

The Xixia general's eyes were dazzled, and it was impossible to tell the truth from the truth. He was so frightened that a cold sweat broke down his spine. He had to brace himself and be careful to fight Xu Ning with his knife.

The two men danced with swords and guns, and the swords flew brilliantly with silver light. Golden flowers floated in the sky where the guns danced. After more than twenty rounds of fighting, the Xixia general only felt his arms were sore and numb, and he gradually couldn't resist.

At this time, Xu Ning had already seen that the opponent was weak, and he showed a flaw. The general pulled away and wanted to leave. Xu Ning immediately used the move "Flying Flowers Chasing the Moon". The golden gun was a little bit, but the opponent blocked it, but he turned around and the gun barrel was fierce. Pulled out.

His gun is not an iron gun. The barrel of the gun is made of a special kind of butter wood. This butter wood is not as elastic as the ash rod, but its hardness is much stronger than the ash rod. Although the gun rod is not made of iron, the gun is made of Metal inlay.

The spear was extremely hard, and when it was withdrawn, it hit the heart-protecting mirror on the general's chest, knocking the mirror back. The general immediately screamed and spat out blood when he opened his mouth.

Seeing this, Xu Ning rushed forward. The golden gun turned around again, and the head of the gun went forward again, piercing the deflated mirror. This shot was as fast as the wind. The general couldn't dodge, and was stabbed into the chest by the gun. Got off the mount.

After killing this general, the morale of the soldiers behind him became stronger. At this time, Ruda also led his people to rush down the city steps. The two teams met at a place. The army behind them surged up again and went to kill the Xiakou Pass...

Let's say that after Wu Song and Li Zhong met that day, the two headed northwest at night. They rose under the stars in the morning and stayed under the rising moon at night. They walked for several days and finally arrived at the ground of Huaide Army on Jingyuan Road.

The Huaide army intersects with the border of Xixia, and there are many earthen forts and villages. However, because the Song army invaded the Liao Dynasty, and the Xixia army entered from the Yellow River in Lanzhou in front, there were very few soldiers on the border here, and even if you walked far away, you could not see a single soldier. .

Since entering the northwest, the two of them have heard rumors from the common people: "Xixia went to attack Xihe, and King Qin went to attack Xixia again. It was a mess, and they didn't know which one would win. They were so scared that they couldn't live a good life!"

Wu Song naturally knew it, but Li Zhong was surprised. He was on the Taihang Mountains and would not have known about such things.

That day, the two of them came to a place. The border was not far away, and they unconsciously missed Sutou. When evening came, the ground was covered with dark bushes and was very desolate.

The two of them walked for a day without a good rest. At this moment, they only felt that their legs were swollen and numb, their stomachs were hungry, and their mouths were thirsty. When they climbed over a loess hill, the sky was already dotted with cold stars, and there was a mountain village hotel below.

The two tied up their horses and walked into the shop. When they saw three customers on the opposite side of the table drinking, they put down their packages and shouted together: "Restaurant, get some wine and meat to eat, and a few liters of rice to make rice."

A bartender walked out from under the stove with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, I only have salt water beans to go with the wine here. I want to eat meat, but I killed a ox in the village. I went to pick up the fat and cut a piece of it, Your Majesty." You have to be patient.”

"That's fine." Li Zhong unwrapped the package and took out a silver coin and put it in the bartender's hand. "Go and buy ten kilograms of fat beef and cook a few more liters of rice. My brother will stay in your shop all night. .”

"It's okay for guests to stay here, but there are no good bed tents, it's just a rolling straw bed." The bartender said as he took the money and left. A red-faced man at the table opposite had already alerted him, stood up and said: "Several guests, we are just here too." If you stay in the hotel, if you don't go out, I still have a cooked goose and two side dishes left here to drink with. It's a rare encounter for people who are out of town, so there is no need to worry about money."

Li Zhong said hurriedly: "We meet by chance and disturb each other for no reason. How can we handle it?"

The bartender helped and said: "It's rare that these guests are so kind-hearted!" He took out a cooked goose, a plate of bamboo shoots, and a plate of fried shrimps from the food basket and placed them on the table, and scooped out a plate of salty shrimps. Water beans and a plate of pickled vegetables were brought to the table together.

Li Zhong thanked him profusely. The bartender put down the cups and chopsticks and was busy scalding the wine.

After a while, the bartender brought a big earthen pot from the kitchen and said while sifting the wine: "I don't have much fine wine in this deserted village inn, just village mash, but it can quench the hunger, thirst and fatigue of travelers."

Wu Song and Li Zhong were already so thirsty that their throats were on fire. They picked up their wine bowls and drank the wine in one gulp. They said together: "This village mash is so powerful."

The bartender sifted the wine again, and the two drank again. Just as they were about to pick up the dishes with chopsticks, they felt dizzy, their mouths were watering, and they couldn't sit still.

"That's right! That's right!" Two men and a woman at the table opposite clapped their hands and shouted in unison.

The red-faced man came over first. Seeing that Wu Song's package was relatively large, he grabbed it and weighed it. It was a bit heavy. When he untied it, he saw that it was all yellow and white stuff. There were two or three hundred taels in total. He shouted, "This package is back." I and the rest are yours.”

The black-faced man and the woman went to grab another Li Zhong's baggage. When they opened it, they found that it was full of pearls, gold, white jade, jade, coral, agate, etc., which dazzled the eyes.

The black-faced man and the woman laughed from ear to ear: "Okay, this burden belongs to me and my wife. You said it first, don't compete!"

When the red-faced man heard this, his face turned gloomy... (End of Chapter)
