When we arrived at a three-way intersection, our personal soldiers asked Shi Jianu: "Langjun, there are two roads here, one to Fengzhou and the other to Dongjiazhai. Which one should we go? Dongjiazhai has no shortage of money and food, but I am afraid that the Song army will be stationed, and the other one is not good-"

After hearing this, Shi family vultures, he cursed: "Go to Fengzhou, get further and further away from the Yellow River, and go deeper into the southern dynasty. Where can we live? Go to Dongjiazhai! Collect some food and grass there and go home along the Yellow River!"

The personal soldiers turned to promise and murmured in their hearts. After the Song army occupied Tanglong Town, Dongjiazhai must have heavy troops to deploy, and this trip will inevitably be dangerous. Dongjiazhai is the backing of Tanglong Town and the gateway of the volcanic army. The Song Dynasty has always guarded tightly. After a sudden turn, hesitated and said to the Shijianu: "Mr. Langjun, we have a scout behind us, and I am afraid we will come out of Tanglong Town. If there are soldiers and horses following us, we will hit the ambush of the Southern Dynasty in front of us, but we will die. Should we go back and rush for a while?"

Shi Jianu shook his head, his face gloomy and urged him to move forward.

When he left Tanglong Town and headed south, Shi Family Nu found that the Song army was following. Yesterday, fifty elite cavalry sent there, but he didn't expect that the Song army's detective cavalry saw it from afar, so he turned around and fled. The Khitan soldiers stopped, and the Song army's detective cavalry also stopped, chased after it, and followed if it didn't chased.

The Khitans are experts in this style of fighting. Seeing that the situation is not good, they hurried back. This style of fighting is like flying a kite. A string is tied far behind, so you can't escape. You chase along the line, either you can't chase people, or you encounter a large army ambush, and you will be wiped out by accident. This situation is already very dangerous. The Shi family slave knows this, and why would he waste his energy in vain.

Since the reconnaissance cavalry followed, there must be a large group of pursuers behind, so there is no doubt about this. The Song army's tactics are obvious, that is, they are far behind, bullying the Khitans away from the rear, without support. When the Khitans are exhausted, they can easily harvest the fruits of victory.

What are you going to steal Dongjiazhai? How do you escape back now?

In the fourth year of Qingli, when the Khitans entered Tanglong Town, Fan Zhongyan proposed to support the small Fan tribes across the river. Otherwise, when the Khitans plundered and pursued them, it would be easy to cross the river and enter the Song territory, and conflicts would arise at that time. He made this suggestion in response to the geographical situation in the Tanglong Town area. Tanglong Town is located in an open valley. The Khitans attacked from the north. The Fan tribes moved south along the valley and crossed the Yellow River to enter the volcanic army. At this time, Shijianu took this route and would go to the other side of Dongjiazhai tomorrow.

Shi Family Nu had no choice. After failing to attack Tang Long Town, he would starve to death when he returned north and could only go south and eat. As for what would happen when he met the Song army when he arrived at Dongjiazhai, it was another matter. At worst, he would have to cut off his tail and survive.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Wang Kai's troops camped by the river, guarding the valley entrance. Since the Shi family's defeat and heading south, they have reported the horses every two hours, and the Khitans are away from here.

Wang Kai stood on the top of the mountain and quietly looked at the valley in the north. The deputy general Su Anjing beside him said, "Deployment, the Khitans attacked Tanglong Town is not good, and the troops are tired from afar. We might as well take advantage of the unpreparedness and set an ambush in front of us, and a battle will determine the universe!"

Wang Kai shook his head: "No need, the Khitans have no supplies. As long as we keep guarding them and don't let them cross the river, we will inevitably be in chaos. Also, Zhang Jian, the Tanglong Town, wrote a letter saying that he brought 300 cavalry and was placed behind the Khitans. We guarded them, and Zhang Dujian attacked his side and behind."

After hearing this, Su Anjing didn't say anything. Facing the Khitans, the Song army was still very cautious and had no choice but to take the initiative to attack. After decades after establishing the country, there were few victories in battles with the Khitans, so everyone could not be cautious. It was already a trend of complete victory, so there was no need to take risks.

The Shi family slave sat on the carriage, and the pain came from his leg injury, and he couldn't help frowning. At this time, he was extremely regretful and went out to rob Yu Menglang. Although it was not possible to rob, he didn't have to go to Tanglong Town to rob the small tyrants outside, so he could barely survive the winter.

At this moment, a fast horse came to the front. The soldier turned over and fell off his horse, crossed his hands and said, "Langjun, there is a Song army camp at the entrance of the valley in front!"

The Shi family slave was upset and cursed: "Where are the soldiers and horses? I can't see the shadow of the Song army for hundreds of miles, but now I'm blocking it every day. I'm really seeing ghosts! I've found out where the soldiers and horses are, and how many people are there!"

The soldiers said: "Return to Langjun, the Song army flag in front is clear, it is the Linfu Road Army Masi, and Wang Kai's army and horses are deployed."

After hearing this, the Shi family's subordinate frowned and thought to himself that he was in trouble. Wang Kai is famous for his good leadership and fighting tough battles. When his defeated general meets him, is there still a need to fight this battle?

Seeing the detective cavalry far away, Shi Jianu said to his personal soldiers: "Go and order the border troops to confront the Song army after leaving the valley. If they do not attack first, they will be ordered to keep their guard even if they are not allowed. This is the southern border, and it is hard to explain when fighting."

The personal soldier agreed and thought for a while to ask Shi Jianu in a low voice: "Mr. Lang, then we--"

The Shi family's slave said weakly: "Not far from the entrance of the valley, there is a mountain road that goes north, which can be traced back to Ningbianzhou. Let the border troops block the Song army, we brought food and escaped quietly from the mountain road. This battle is unsuccessful, and those border troops can only fulfill their destiny."

The personal soldiers understood and rushed to pass the military order.

Most of the border soldiers were foreign households, and even if they had conflicts with the Song army, they were killed and captured, it was irrelevant. If these 300 Khitan soldiers were trapped here, it would be completely different. The Song army should have a clear idea of ​​this, so they never took the initiative to attack. However, when you go back on the mountain road, only God knows how many 300 people can live back.

Ten miles away from the Shijiashu soldiers, Zhang Ke sat on the ground and roasted the fire. The 300 cavalrymen in his army were gnawing dry food to fill their hunger.

He came over and crossed his hands to Zhang Ji, "The Chief Minister, the Khitans in front were divided into troops before leaving the mountain, and most of them went to the entrance of the valley. There were still two or three hundred people walking the mountain path and heading east, watching to escape."

Zhang Ke was silent for a while, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "I'm going to escape. Needless to say, the one who came out of the valley was the soldiers who came from the border, and the Khitan soldiers fled into the mountains. The attacks in Tanglong Town were frustrated and some soldiers were broken. The courage of these Khitans was already lost. In the past two or three days, they had no food and grass to replenish. How much strength do they have to fight?"

Li Hao, the deputy general around him, said: "What the capital magistrate said is good. What should we do? Together with the deployment, will we destroy the Khitans in front of us and let those soldiers leave? In this way, we can win a great victory and it will be convenient for us to sue later."

Zhang Ji shook his head: "Since the Khitans are here, how can they not suffer any pain? No matter what the Khitans are leaving the valley, we will only chase them to the mountains! Remember, there is no need to attack them on their own, as long as they can't walk fast and cannot steal food and grass. I want to see how long they can last for hundreds of miles. These Khitans starve to death by themselves is not our business."
