Chapter 15 New Year's Eve

Hudi, Datuo, and the leaders of the Hu people gathered together again to analyze the current situation. It was Yelu Huzhong who had made a plan for everyone before. He was pointing to an extremely simple sheepskin map and said, "This is the road map of the Song army that has been attacking our ethnic groups in the past few days. They advanced all the way north from the southwest. Yesterday, they arrived at the Tower Department, and then went down, that is..." Speaking of this, he pointed his finger on a black dot above the map: "Here, the sheep's horn!"

"The sheep's horn is the territory of the Turks. This time, they dispatched most of the elites to Song Land, and there should not be many people who can deal with the Song people now, right?" Someone immediately put forward their own opinions.

"Yes, coupled with the fact that we have mobilized almost all the manpower that can be mobilized, the current sheep horn must be mermaid meat on the surface!" Xi Cong nodded and then said, "Is this an opportunity?"

"Yes, now the route and goals of the Song people have been mastered by us, and it is time to completely annihilate them! But let them be proud again before we do it. According to the behavior of the Song people during this period, they were all under the hands of our tribes at night, and we took advantage of this opportunity to secretly hide it. Once they won and relaxed, our opportunity officially appeared. Yeluhu said about the whole plan: "Of course, there will be a lot of casualties in the sheep's horn department. Can you accept it?"

"So many ethnic groups have been killed by these Song people, and I don't care about the death of one more ethnic group. I just hope that this time we can annihilate the Song people once and for all!" The leaders of the Hu people immediately gave their own attitude.

"I am confident that I can annihilate the Song people in one fell swoop and avenge the dead!" Yelu Huzhong's answer was also resolute. Because according to his judgment, the strength of the Song army deep into their own territory is still a little thin, and they can only focus on raids. Once it is completely exposed, it is not far from destruction.

"Then gather the people immediately and rush to the sheep's horn department. Once, we have to let the Song people know how powerful we are!" Everyone immediately shouted, and then hurried out of the big account to make the final preparations.

When the sun rose to the top of everyone, more than 4,000 Hudi cavalry had been gathered and headed for the sheep's horns like a whirlwind under the leadership of Yelu Huzhong and others. Although there are hundreds of miles between the two places, they believe that they can get to the sheep's horns in time to seize this opportunity.

On New Year's Eve, there are no stars, no moon, and the wind is not tight, but the cold feeling is still because of the temperature here and the white snow that can't be seen at a glance.

Although it is the most important festival for the Han people, soldiers far away from home are not in the mood to consider this. Now they are surrounding Xu Jinghong and listening carefully to his orders, because this time his expression has become extremely grim and seems to have realized that the danger is approaching.

"Do you think our actions have been too smooth these days?" Xu Jinghong looked at the generals and asked.

"Is it going well? Since we entered the grassland, we have been doing well. The main force of the Hu people is far away in the south. Most of the people left here are old, weak and disabled. Naturally, it is impossible to pose too much threat to us. A general named Wang Fang said casually. His words were also what others wanted to say, so everyone nodded one after another. Only Wang Liehai and other people who understood Xu Jinghong's intentions showed vigilance.

"If it was when we first entered the Hudi, this situation was still normal. But it has been a long time now, but the reaction of the Hu people is still the same, which is a little unusual. Their tribes were eliminated by us one by one. Don't they want to know how to protect and fight back? But why is our action so smooth until now? Xu Jinghong asked again.

"Maybe there is a gap between the three Hu people and they can't cooperate, right? In addition, the main force of the Hu people is in our Song Dynasty, and now there is no way to stop us. Zhao Henggan also said.

"The former is impossible. Even their main force can unite to attack our Song Dynasty in one place. How can the left-be left behind not cooperate in such a difficult situation?" Wang Liehai also expressed his opinion: "As for the latter, the Hu people are different from me in the Song Dynasty after all. Everyone can get on horse and open their bow. As long as they have the heart, they can gather thousands of people to stop us. Even if they can't find us, they will scatter to find our whereabouts, but we have never met these Hu people's cavalry these days. So I also agree with Du Tong's opinion, which is very unusual.

Hearing what he said, the generals couldn't help but be suspicious. Although they are generals, they are not reckless men who only rush forward. Under such a reminder, they can naturally think of a problem.

"What's the problem with that?" Zhao Henggan asked again.

"There must be demons when things are unusual. The Hu people must have some plans. They are waiting for the opportunity." Xu Jinghong gave his own judgment: "The successive victories have made us a little too relaxed, and at this time, once the hidden strength of the Hu people suddenly gives us a head-on blow, I'm afraid we can't resist it!" Therefore, from today on, we must be careful and follow my orders!"

"Yes, my subordinates remember!" These people answered in unison. Xu Jinghong's reputation among the crowd is already very high, and now it is reasonable, and naturally everyone should accept it with all their heart.

"That team is still attacking today?" Xiong Geng asked with his fists. During this period, he was quite happy. He had killed a lot of barbarians and robbed a lot of money, and he was addicted to it.

"Today is New Year's Eve. We should give Song a New Year's gift, and there is a barbarian tribe not far in front of us. Naturally, we can't let it go. However, this operation still has to be fought according to the previous plan. Except for the people of the third battalion, everyone else has hidden it for me. Xu Jinghong pondered and gave his own decision: "Somehow, I have always been a little uneasy recently. It seems that the Hu people are not far from us. We must be careful again."

"Ye!" As the main general of the third battalion, Wang Fang is naturally happy to have such an arrangement. Now the Hu people's obstruction of them has become smaller and smaller, and it is always a credit for winning a victory with their own battalion. As for others, there is not much opposition, because these days, everyone has been attacking in turn, and there is no difference.

"Let's pass the order and take a break. After three update, we will attack the barbarian tribe in front of us. The rules are the same as before!" After Xu Jinghong patted Wang Fang on the shoulder, he hugged him and leaned in front of a big stone to close his eyes and refreshed.

Time passed quickly. The third update arrived, and a thousand knives came out of the sheath, and the murderous Song soldiers in their eyes had already got on the war horse. After swinging the knife in Wang Fang's hand, a thousand people rushed out like arrows from the string.

The earth also trembled under the pedalling of the horse's hoof, which quickly shocked thehu people who were originally quiet in the horns. During this period, the news that the Hudi tribe was constantly attacked by the Song people has spread in the whole grassland. All departments are preparing for it. Now they feel that someone is coming, and their reaction is naturally extremely fast. Five hundred knights have quickly jumped on the horse with various weapons and are ready to meet the enemy.

Even if the other party had a certain defense, the Song soldiers still did not have any timidity. Instead, they were more excited and urged ** war horses to kill the barren at a faster speed. If the northern garrison generals were watching at this time, they would be very surprised by the performance of these soldiers. In the past, the Song army and the Hu people fought head-on. Even if they had a certain advantage in their strength, they were at a disadvantage in momentum. It is rare to dare to face the strong enemy like today.

And this is exactly what Xu Jinghong brought to this team in the past month. After a series of killings, the soldiers of the Song army have lost their original fear of the Hu people. Now the Hu people in their eyes have become lambs. As long as these enemies are killed, it is time for them to wait for the carnival!

So Song people rushed to the front and back of the Hu people without any extra words, so they raised their knives and guns to greet the enemy. Although the Hu people reacted very quickly, after all, they suddenly encountered an attack, and their bodies were still a little stiff. Coupled with the gap in strength, after a positive shock, the Hu people had already shown a decline, and more than 100 people died in this confrontation.

Seeing this, the Song soldiers naturally became more courageous. After shouting and killing in unison, they launched a more powerful charge again.

Knife and gun fighting, shouting and screaming before death mixed in one place, blood and snow blended in one place, and people and horses kept falling to the ground... Everything was intertwined into a sad and beautiful scene. However, this confrontation lasted only half an hour, and hundreds of horsemen had been completely dispersed, thus opening a road to the Song army to the sheep's horns.

"Kill!" Go!" Grab it!" Shouting various slogans, Song Jun quickly pushed forward, cut down and kicked down everything that dared to stop him, and quickly rushed to the property and women he wanted to get. The whole sheep's horn immediately turned into a hell intertwined with blood and fire, screaming and crying.

On a hill ten miles away from the sheep's horns, thousands of horses looked at the fire there from afar, and there was a faint scream, which made the hearts of the barbarians begin to tighten. Someone looked at Yelu Huzhong impatiently: "When can we go out? If you don't go to the sheep's horn department, it will be completely finished!"

"It's not the right time. Wait a minute. When they begin to enjoy the results, it's time for us to revenge!" Yelu Huzhong's answer was still calm, although his eyes were also full of blood, because he thought of the victims in his tribe.

Not everyone can be as calm and cold as him, but everyone knows that this action is not allowed to lose, so no matter how impatient you are, you have to endure it. Patience at this moment is for a later outbreak.

The firelight is still shining, but the miserable cry on the other side of the sheep's horn department can hardly be heard. Obviously, those who can resist have fallen down. Now is the time for Song Jun to carry out the final cleaning and share the results!

Yelü Huzhong finally pulled out the curved knife in his hand under his hand under the attention of everyone. After touching the horse under him, he shouted, "Come on, it's time to avenge our people!" After shouting, he was the first to rush down the mountain bag and killed him ten miles away.

The nonsense people who had been waiting for too long finally shouted loudly. Thousands of horses stepped on the ground, like a small drum beating, rushing forward in a fierce rhythm. Their swords were already tightened in their hands, and their eyes were on fire. No matter what was in front of them, they would smash it!

At this time, the Song soldiers on the other side of the sheep's horn were still robbing the property here. The gold and silver utensils with wine and meat were taken over by them and trampled into pieces and put in the burden of cow and sheepskin. Some jewelry was also picked out of the exquisite utensils. For the soldiers, the first thing now is still convenient to carry. As for Destruction is not considered.

Some people pounced on some lovely-haired women who needed to vent after killing people. For a moment, the man's ferocious laughter and the woman's screams resounded throughout the night sky.

Suddenly, everyone's movements were stopped, because they heard the sound of horses' hoofs from a distance. When someone followed the sound and looked over there, they couldn't see anything at all because of the dark sky.

The king's expression suddenly became solemn: "Everyone is ready. It seems that the rescuers of the Hu people are coming!" While talking, he had pushed away a barren woman beside him, and then quickly ran towards his horse. Other soldiers also reacted quickly, throwing aside their cumbersome belongings, picked up knives and guns, and wanted to fight.

But because they had just had a battle before, they stopped now. Their physical function could not be adjusted quickly, and the barren came too fast, so before they were fully prepared and had time to prepare for the enemy, the Hu people had already killed them.

"Kill!" Seeing the corpses of their own people all over the ground made Yelu Huzhong and others even more angry. Now there is only one idea in their minds, which is to smash all these Song people in front of them!

One side was suddenly attacked, and one side was not only full of momentum, but also full of anger. Naturally, there was no suspense in this battle. After a little resistance, Song Jun even retreated. This situation was just like the replica, but the two sides of the advance and retreat fell away.

Seeing this, Hu people naturally had more morale. With a knife waved, a Song army fell or was injured, and the team of more than 1,000 people fell on the verge of extinction in an instant. The reason why the Song army can still resist, rather than defeating quickly like the Hu people in front of them, is that they still have hope and their main force has never moved.

Xu Jinghong saw the Hu people's brigade rushing, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He knew that his defense was still successful. Once he won this battle, Hu Di would completely lose resistance, and the domestic crisis in Song Province was really relieved. Others are full of admiration for him, and it is really not easy for him to infer the enemy's movements so accurately.

"Team Zheng, shall we go and help?" Seeing that Xu Jinghong had not ordered for a long time, Xiong Geng couldn't help asking.

"No hurry, wait, when their spirit is exhausted, it's not too late for us to go!"

"But it's all unified. In this way, the damage on General Wang's side is too great." Zhao Heng said worriedly.

"They can withstand it, I believe in them!" Xu Jinghong said unmovedly.

At this time, everyone was extremely convinced of Xu Jinghong, so they didn't say more. They just looked at the war not far away, prepared, and waited for an order.

The situation on Wang Fang's side is very bad. There are only 500 people left, and all of them have been injured. At this time, they have retreated to the interior of the Yangjiao station, and there have been surrounded by barbarians. Obviously, if no one comes to save them, they will be completely surrounded and annihilated by the barbarians.

Seeing that all the horses of the barb people had entered the battle, Xu Jinghong smiled with satisfaction at the corners of his mouth. With a thousand people as bait, he will win the battle completely!

After pulling the Baisheng knife out of its sheath, Xu Jinghong let out a clear roar: "Brothers, kill all the Hu dogs and defend me in the Song Dynasty! Kill!"

"Kill all the dogs and defend me in the Song Dynasty!" The soldiers also shouted loudly and then rushed to the target at full speed.

The Hu people were really shocked when they heard the shouts of killing behind him. At this time, their main force had launched a final battle with the Wang Fang's troops inside, but they could not turn back immediately. Only a small number of people turned their heads to stop them, but they were directly killed by a group of fierce men led by Xu Jinghong, who was the leader.

Wang Fang and others, who were about to collapse, suddenly boosted their morale after seeing their own reinforcements and counterattacked the Hu people who were constantly forced to kill, which made the Hu people suffer a lot!

"How could this happen?" Yeluhu was heavy in the battle with the Song army in front of him, and his heart was full of doubts: "Isn't the Song army calculated to be only 2,000 people before, but why did they run out nearly 5,000, and they were still hiding next to them? Did Song people already know that we would do this and set this trap?

No matter how surprised he was, Yelu Huzhong knew that there was only one battle with all his strength. After killing several Song soldiers who wanted to stop him from turning his head, he finally led a team of people back and rushed to the Song army behind him.

At this time, Xu Jinghong had also killed many Hu people and rushed in. Two young people met in a place just before a blink of an eye. The two also saw the special identity of the other party and guessed that the other party was the leader of the enemy in this battle.

Without saying a word, the two rushed straight to their respective goals!
