Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 30 Night Attack
  It is said that in the customs of some ethnic groups, when entertaining distinguished foreign guests, they will also ask their wives to "accompany the guests".

But now, in the late Liao Dynasty, society has been greatly Sinicized. Excluding certain special habits, normal people will not sit back and watch their wives be humiliated like that.

Han Jixin looked at Liu Ling,

Liu Ling looked at Han Jixin.

"I'm not interested in your proposal."

"Why?" In Han Jixin's eyes, it seemed that Liu Ling had been regarded as the kind of man with "special habits", or simply a weakling.

"General Liu, your troops are waiting outside the city gate. Let's open the city gate together and let Xiao Qian enter the city to kill the thief!"

Speaking of this, Han Jixin's tone became louder unconsciously, but after thinking of where he was, he immediately lowered his voice.

"It's not like you didn't see what kind of attitude that thief Zhang Linghui had towards General Liu at the banquet. It's not like that."

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

Liu Ling stretched out a finger, poked Han Jixin's chest, and pushed hard, forcing Han Jixin to take two steps back and distance himself from him.

He rubbed his fingers on Han Jixin's clothes, got on his horse, and left here with Zhang Wu and others.

Even if he didn't look back all the way, Liu Ling could still feel a sad and angry look on his back.

Listening to their conversation just now, Zhang Wu could roughly guess what happened inside, and couldn't help but whisper: "General, that guy Zhang Linghui was so rude to you."

"It doesn't matter what a dog does when it barks."

Liu Ling said lightly, it's not that he wanted to take care of the overall situation. Now Shimen Town has almost become Zhang Linghui's base camp. When he was drinking in the lobby, he was alone and chopped Zhang Linghui with a knife. Although he was happy, what happened next? ?
  Just when a group of people walked close to the city gate, Liu Ling suddenly raised his hand to signal the people next to him to stop. Zhang Wu immediately pressed his hand on the handle of the knife. They all saw that the city gate of Shimen Town was slowly opening. Open.

"General, are there any troops leaving Shimen Town tonight?"

Zhang Wu asked in a low voice.

"With Zhang Linghui's ability, do you think he can be drunk and entertain guests while sending troops out of the city to attack at night?" Liu Ling asked rhetorically. He turned his horse and within a few breaths, countless torches suddenly lit up outside the city.

Under the light of the fire, there were banners of the Liao people, marching like a forest in the dark night.

Although Xiao Qian proclaimed himself emperor, he did not establish a court, and the army was still the old structure of the Liao Army, with mostly cavalry. At this moment, countless horse hooves were running wildly, and the earth was bombarded like thunder. In the dark night, it seemed as if a giant beast was rising. He opened his mouth and pounced on the lonely city in front of him.

Although it was a summer night, at this moment, the strong wind from the north was blowing towards us.

Liu Ling waved his riding whip and whispered: "They are Liao people, avoid them!"

"Good wine!"

Zhang Linghui slammed the wine bottle on the table. When he raised his head, Han Jixin was standing in front of him.

"General."

Han Jixin's expression was a bit strange. Zhang Linghui didn't notice it and sneered: "Then the boy didn't promise you?"

"He was very alert." Han Jixin replied, "The refusal was very straightforward. The general was wondering if he had guessed it."

"You guessed that I framed him like this?"

Zhang Linghui drunkenly slumped on the chair and waved his hands casually: "What can he do if he guesses it? Shimen Town is full of our troops. If we weren't afraid of Yaoshi Guo's excuse, grandpa, I would have killed him when he entered the city. he."

Zhao Heshou had also left, and Zhang Linghui had no scruples when speaking. He suddenly cast his gaze on Han Jixin's face and said jokingly: "But you are really willing to give up."

"If it weren't for the promotion of generals, how could the generals be where they are today."

Han Jixin raised the corners of his mouth and said softly: "General, it's late at night, let her help you in to have a rest."

"Good good."

The woman glanced at Han Jixin resentfully, lowered her head and helped the swaying Zhang Linghui into the backyard.

The fire has illuminated the night sky of Shimen Town.

This place used to be the territory of the Liao people, but now, they were not merciless when killing their "compatriots". Xiao Qian led a group of cavalry to attack the government offices in the city.

Outside, Han Jixin put on his armor and led a group of soldiers to wait at the door for a long time. When he saw Xiao Qian leading his soldiers over, he immediately knelt down in front of the latter's horse and said humbly:
  "Your Majesty, the bandits Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren and others are resting in the backyard."

When he heard the title, Xiao Qian was slightly startled, but quickly nodded, "You did a good job, I will reward you generously."

"Come in and live!"

"His Majesty!"

Han Jixin suddenly called him and looked at Xiao Qian. He lowered his head and said, "Liu Ling is also in the city. Please give the general fifty horses to search for him. We will surely capture him alive!" Xiao Qian gave some instructions and distributed his hands to others. Seeing Han Jixin leaving with his troops, not long after, the Liao soldiers who went in to search came out and shouted:

"Your Majesty, people have escaped!"

The quilt was still warm, and the woman sat on the bed holding the quilt, shivering, and quickly explained what happened.

As soon as he heard the noise outside, Zhang Linghui immediately sat up, pushed the woman away, and called out to Liu Shunren in the room next to him. When Xiao Qian ordered his men to follow Han Jixin, they took advantage of this gap to get out of the way. The hole escaped.

Shimen Town is not big, but it is an important pass in Jizhou. It is destined that when more than 60% of the soldiers and horses in the city choose to rebel, there are not many places to hide.

More than 200 Liao soldiers were left guarding the city gate. They probably had follow-up troops on the way, so they left the city gate open.

But because the road at the city gate is narrow, if you don't plan well, it will be difficult to rush out in one go.

"Protect your general, our troops are at the camp in the east of the city. Once we get out, we will be safe."

Zhang Wu drew his saber, and the accompanying soldiers nodded silently and gathered around Liu Ling.

Their group was small in number, only about twenty riders. Because of the guarantee from Zhao Heshou and others, they also had their own soldiers and horses, and they were from the pro-Guo Yaoshi faction, so Liu Ling did not bring more soldiers and horses.

In fact, not only was it difficult for him to find legitimate reasons to deal with Zhang Linghui, it was even harder for the latter to find excuses to deal with him.

Those Song bureaucrats who were gradually placed everywhere reminded them all the time that this was already the "king land" of the Song Dynasty.

Liu Ling, on the other hand, was the one who reported his name in front of Zhao Guan's family.

Now that most of the officers and soldiers of the Ever-Victorious Army have surrendered, they are satisfied with the Song Dynasty and are unwilling to rebel again for the time being.

Zhang Linghui killed Liu Ling with his dirty hands. No matter how secretly he did it, Pharmacist Guo would definitely put this shit basin on his head in the end.

This idea can definitely be deduced as long as the brain is clear.

When Han Jixin led the cavalry to the city gate, Liu Ling's heart sank.

He only guessed the first level, thinking that Han Jixin really wanted him to help at that time, and that everyone would kill Zhang Linghui together.

Han Jixin searched around the city, and soldiers and horses everywhere said that they had not seen Liu Ling and his party. Only the soldiers who were on duty at the gate of the government office said that Liu Ling probably walked towards the city gate.

But the defenders at the city gate said they didn't see anyone coming.

Liu Ling must have noticed something was wrong in time and hid in the city.

"Close the city gate!" he shouted.

The officer guarding the gate came out and exchanged some curses with him. He probably meant that it was troublesome to open and close the city gate repeatedly. Han Jixin relied on his status and said angrily that trouble is trouble, but if someone rushes out accidentally, You are all guilty!

Not far away, Liu Ling and others, who were hiding in an abandoned house and peeping out, knew they could not wait any longer.

If the city gate is closed and I can't find a chance to get out, everyone will be in trouble when the Liao soldiers find them.

"Protect the general."

Zhang Wu reminded him again, silently put on his robes, and the group all got on their horses. When the sound of horse hooves sounded, Han Jixin turned around suddenly and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"So you are here."

The defenders at the city gate began to fire arrows. A sparse rain of arrows was difficult to hit the target in the dark night, but one of the soldiers still turned over and fell from his horse with a groan.

The team was still charging forward, and Han Jixin watched with interest the dozens of cavalrymen rushing out of the darkness, as if appreciating the ugly appearance of prey struggling before death.

He motioned to the soldiers next to him to raise their torches to ensure that Liu Ling could see him, and then shouted jokingly:

"Liu Ling, I invited you to kill Zhang Linghui with me earlier, but you didn't obey.

Zhang Linghui is right, you are just a soft egg,
  If you call me grandpa now, I can let you out of the city! "

What answered him was a sudden cold arrow.

Immediately, the sound of blades clashing was heard at the city gate, and several soldiers ran into the crowd with their war horses foaming at the mouth. Blood and flesh flew everywhere in an instant. Liu Ling threw down his bow and quickly picked up a man who was about to follow the war horses. The soldier rolled out, and a smooth road appeared in front of him.

"Come out!" The horse under his seat knocked away a Liao soldier who was approaching. Liu Ling hugged the soldier and lay on the horse, and several arrows grazed his ears.

More than half of the twenty-odd people died in an instant, but in the end they still rushed out of the city gate very smoothly.

Han Jixin got up from the ground, and the arrow penetrated deeply into his calf, causing him to frown in pain.

"Chase!"
