Outside the west city of Yanjing, the envoy soldiers and horses led by Fang Zian were walking on the dark official road in the direction of Xishan. Everyone knew that as long as they plunged into the valley of Xishan, they would be temporarily out of danger. However, even if Xishan is right there

Twenty to thirty miles away, but the distance of twenty to thirty miles is not a smooth road. Outside the Xishan Pass, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Jin Kingdom were stationed. When Fang Zian and the others came out of the Xishan Mountain and only showed their heads, they were immediately discovered.

It can be seen that the soldiers and horses stationed there guarded and monitored the Xishan Pass very closely.

No one spoke, and the entire team remained silent. There was only the sound of hoofbeats and wheels. In this quiet night, this sound was very harsh. Every creak of the wheels, every snort of the horses,

It is very likely to expose the target.

After being reminded of the fearful journey of seven or eight miles, Fang Zian was praying for a safe and sound arrival at the mountain pass. Zhao Gang, who was exploring the road ahead, rode back and reported bad news.

"Sir, there are a large number of soldiers and horses coming five miles ahead. They should be the soldiers and horses of the Jin soldiers stationed in Xishan. They happened to collide with us. I don't know if they have discovered us and are coming towards us. Sir, we

what to do?"

Fang Zian frowned, and immediately ordered the team to stop, and followed Zhao Gang to the front of the team. There was a bare hill on the north side of the road, and Fang Zian rode up to the top of the hill.

Looking far to the west, a long dragon with torches is very eye-catching in the dark night. The light of the torches spreads for several miles. It is obviously the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom arriving from the Xishan Pass. According to the opponent's marching speed, they should be at most one stick.

In a matter of seconds, they will meet their own convoy head-on. If the other party learns that their convoy is leaving the city and rushes towards them, it will be a big trouble. Even if they hide, it will be too late.

Fang Zian's brows knitted into a knot. Suddenly, he discovered another flickering torch in the far direction of Beicheng. It should be on the top of a mountain seven or eight miles away. Although it was far away, a large piece of torch was shaking.

, it still looked very conspicuous. It should also be a troop of soldiers and horses, but the direction of march was also towards Yanjing City.

Fang Zian understood immediately.

"Zhao Gang, order the team to move forward quickly and take shelter in the recesses on the side of the mountain. Let the brothers cover the horses' mouths. No one can make a sound or move around." Fang Zian ordered in a deep voice.

Zhao Gang said in astonishment: "Is this possible? Hiding on the side of the mountain? Didn't they find it immediately after searching?"

Fang Zian said: "They are not coming for us. If they were coming for us, we would not be able to hide. These are the Jin soldiers who entered Yanjing. Xiao Yu and Wan Yanliang have already started fighting in the city. These are the soldiers who were called in.

The soldiers and horses in the city. Look at the north, there is also a Jin Army soldiers and horses. At this moment, they are rushing into Yanjing City, and their target is not us. They can only rush, not search around. Hurry, go back and pass the order. This is the only thing here.

People can be hidden on the back of a mountain, but the rest of the place is too empty. If you shine a torch, you will find that there is no way to hide people."

Zhao Gang looked in the direction of Fang Zian's finger and saw the torch to the north. He immediately understood that what Fang Zian said was true. The two quickly galloped back downhill and ordered the team to speed up. When they reached the hillside

, the people and horses marched towards the gentle slope groove on the north side of the mountain. The people and horses were okay, but the carts full of food and water were just troublesome. The two dozen carts were very heavy, and the ground in the wilderness was frozen hard. Although there were overgrown grass,

But it won’t cause the big car to sink

Unable to move, the men and horses worked together to push more than 20 carts to the side of the hillside. In order to ensure that the side would not be discovered, Fang Zian even asked Zhao Gang to lead a dozen brothers to cut down all the nearby dwarf trees.

It is inserted on the side of the slope and sprinkled with long grass cut from the ground as a temporary cover. This can be seen through at a glance during the day, but in this dark hour before dawn, it is difficult to see through unless you check carefully.

When all these preparations were completed, the sound of horse hooves and the noise of marching on the official road ahead were very close. So close that you could hear the coughing and talking of the Jin army's soldiers and horses. The people of the envoy were lying on the ground.

War horses that have been trained know how to lie down, but they are prone to snorting and getting frightened. So Fang Zian has already ordered everyone to take off their cloaks and cover the horses' heads so that the horses cannot see the light of the torches and will not be frightened.

Reduce the sound they make. In fact, in the din of the marching army, even some sounds will not be recognized by the other party.

The fire was shining brightly, and the official road was bright. The leading cavalry of the Jin Kingdom's Xishan camp army trotted past the official road on the south side of the mountain, heading towards Yanjing City without thinking. The Jin soldiers and the fire army soldiers and horses only

Across this mountain, we were less than a hundred steps away from each other. Fortunately, in this cold night, the light of the torches was not enough to illuminate the wilderness a hundred steps away, so the men and horses dormant in the darkness were not noticed at all.

There are nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Xishan camp, and there are 28,000 soldiers and horses heading to Yanjing City, so the team of soldiers and horses is very long. Although they are marching at a trot, it will take a long time to pass through the mountains. For those who are dormant in the mountains

For the people in the mission at the back, every minute and every second was a great torment. They heard the soldiers and horses passing by, right next to them. The light above their heads flickered, which was the light of torches.

Due to the sudden darkness, everyone crawled on the cold ground and endured with bated breath. They held half-drawn weapons in one hand just in case.

A stick of incense has passed, and the soldiers and horses of the Kingdom of Jin are still passing through continuously. But for everyone in the mission, they have already relaxed a little, because they found that the other party did not notice them at all. But just when their nerves relaxed

, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves, and more than a dozen golden cavalry soldiers galloped to the top of the hill, reining in their horses and standing still above everyone's heads. Fang Zian's heart jumped into his throat, and he was already prepared to attack after being discovered.

, but he knew that once discovered, even if he could kill some golden soldiers, he would never be able to escape the encirclement and killing of so many golden soldiers. He had even thought about letting Ling'er and Feng Yiming immediately as soon as they were found.

Protecting Shi Hao, he took advantage of the dark sky to escape north, running as far away as possible. He could only try his best to intercept the enemy.

"General Wanyanxun, our march is a bit slow. There is already a fighting in the city. Just now we reported from the front that there are fires in the city. It is estimated that the fighting has already started. We have to hurry up."

Someone was talking loudly on the hilltop.

"We are already very fast. We should be the first to mobilize troops in the middle of the night. The official road is so narrow, and we are all cavalry, so we can only be so fast. There should be some action in the city. Xiao Yu

Sure enough, he is not a kind person, not a member of my Jurchen race, and his heart must be different. The emperor should have got rid of this guy long ago. But it doesn't matter, the emperor will not be unable to support us. Of course, we must also urge the sons and daughters to speed up. Don't ask other people.

I have taken the lead. I, Wan Yanxun, have decided on this first act of escorting." A rough and arrogant voice said in a deep voice.

"Of course, we must not allow others to get ahead of us. However, I am worried that I might have trouble entering the city. The city gate defenders are city defense troops, and they are Xiao Yu's soldiers and horses. If they close the city gate and prevent us from entering,

It’s really tricky.” Another person said.

"It's so tricky! When they got to the city gate, they attacked directly without opening the city gate. How many people can be at the city gate? There are a total of five thousand city defense troops, divided into four gates, less than a thousand people. Let people prepare long ladders and long hooks.

But if they don't open the city gate, you take people away from the city gate to swim across the moat and then climb the city wall, catching them off guard. With so many people, they will only focus on defending the city gate. What are they afraid of?"

"The general is smart, but he is ignorant of his humble position. Looking for the general, Zhao Mu'an, who came to deliver the order, said that the envoy from the Song Dynasty would probably take advantage of the chaos to escape, and would probably still enter Xishan from our defense area. I don't know if they left the city.

"

"Don't worry, no matter whether they can leave the city or not, they can't even think of entering the Xishan Valley. I asked Subaci to stay behind with two thousand people and closely monitor the mountain pass. They can't even think of sneaking in." Wan Yanxun said in a rough voice.

"Yes, they may not be able to get out of the city. Maybe they have all been killed. Hehe."

"Stop talking about this. Pass my order and the rear team speeds up. Grandma, why are you out of touch at the back? Go and get me a whip to whip them. It delayed the time to enter the city. I will question them. Let's go!"

The horses' hooves rushed quickly, and more than a dozen riders on the hilltop galloped down and merged into the team of golden soldiers on the official road.

Fang Zian was lying on the hillside more than twenty steps below. Although the ground was cold and the wind was biting, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his body.

After half a stick of incense, the last group of golden soldiers passed by the official road next to the mountain bag. When they were about a mile away, everyone got up from the ground. Everyone looked at each other and laughed, thankful to have escaped.

.

The carriages and horses returned to the official road and headed west. Fang Zian, Zhao Gang, Feng Yiming, Lei Hu and others rode side by side to discuss how to enter the Xishan Valley. Not only Fang Zian, Lei Hu and others also heard what the Jin generals had just said.

During the conversation on the mountain, they knew that there were still two thousand people guarding the entrance of the valley, so Lei Hu and others were a little confused as to what to do.

"If they block the mountain pass, sir, how should we enter the mountain? The Xishan Pass is so big, I don't know if there is any other entrance. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will still be difficult." Zhao Gang said with a frown.

Lei Hu said: "We have no choice but to force our way in. Originally there were 20,000 to 30,000 people, but now there are 2,000 people. We are 200 people. A pair of ten, I don't know if we can do it."

Zhao Gang scolded: "Brother Leihu, you know what to do, we are going to protect the two adults from leaving safely. You have important evidence on your body, how can you have no brains and go all out?"

Lei Hu glared and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Zhao Gang scratched his head and said, "I don't know either. It seems that we can only do it hard. If we don't enter the mountain before dawn, we will be surrounded and killed."

Lei Hu spat: "Bah, you didn't even pay attention to me after we've been making trouble for a long time, and you still talked about me."

Fang Zian coughed on the side, and Lei Hu and Zhao Gang turned their attention to Fang Zian on horseback.

"What do you want to do, sir? You must have an idea," Lei Hu said.
