Guide to traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty

Brother Richard is getting old after all.

A person who is already in his fifties has been addicted to drinking and sex in the past few years, and his physical strength has long been reduced.

He rushed from the Mu Us Desert, only taking two short rests along the way, and also braved the sandstorm. They waited for darkness ten miles away from Yanzhou City, rested for only an hour, and then rushed straight into the battle.

The man is tired and the horse is exhausted!

According to Brother Richard's idea, the city can be captured in one fell swoop.

Even if there were Ming army sentries patrolling outside the city and blowing horns to warn the defenders inside the city, it would be difficult for the defenders to quickly deploy their defenses at night.

At this moment, a group of Ming cavalry was chasing after them. Brother Richard blew the trumpet twice to tell his cavalry to escape separately, and also sent cavalry many times to block the rear.

The Xixia cavalry responsible for breaking up the rear, frightened by Brother Richard's power, reined in their horses and slowed down to turn around to defend themselves against the enemy.

But when Wu Lin led his army to charge over, these Xixia cavalry were frightened, and suddenly they did not dare to physically block the Ming army, and dispersed in a rush after thirty or forty steps.

Wu Lin ignored these defeated enemies and focused on Brother Richard's team.

Although it was difficult to see clearly in the dark, under such circumstances, they were able to send troops to break up the rear and continuously blow the trumpets to give orders, so there must be a Xixia general ahead.

Gradually, no one had the courage to cut off Brother Richard.

Brother Richard separated the cavalry behind him and fled in three directions. Wu Lin was still chasing Brother Richard.

Brother Richard really couldn't figure out how the enemy general who was chasing him recognized him?

It's very simple. Most of them are tribal cavalry in other directions.

But those who have been following Brother Richard are his soldiers and Iron Kites.

After being crippled by Han Shizhong and Yue Fei last year, Brother Richard reorganized the soldiers and iron kites who escaped alive into an elite cavalry force of more than a thousand people.

Even if they were defeated in the dark night, this elite cavalry looked different.

Their escape was more orderly.

Moreover, they also automatically "isolate" friendly forces. The other tribal cavalry are always separated from them by a certain distance. It seems that being too close is an offense.

If it were Yao Pingzhong chasing after him, he would definitely be able to find clues.

Unfortunately, Yao Pingzhong made the wrong pursuit at the beginning. He was pursuing Mu Xiaoliang, the commander-in-chief of Yanzhou.

Li Jiqian's biological mother's surname was Zong.

Li Yuanhao's biological mother's surname is Wei Mu.

These surnames are all from the Xixia clan, and most of the civil and military positions are occupied by them.

In order to escape for his life, Wei Mu Xiaoliang became even more frantic. He sprinted directly towards death, galloped all the way with the help of his good horse, left all his own soldiers behind, and disappeared into the night on horseback alone.

In a situation like this, the troops under his command are almost useless, and it will be difficult to regroup within a month or two.

Yao Pingzhong chased for a long time and finally caught a decent enemy general.

The guy stumbled and fell to the ground, shouting in extremely fluent Chinese: "Don't kill me. My brother is the imperial censor Zhongcheng Rela Gongji, and it was my brother who arranged for Ren Dejing's daughter to enter the palace! My name is Rela Gongren , I can take you to fight against Huaizhou! Spare your life, spare your life..."

All party surnames are transliterated, and there are more than a hundred surnames recorded in history books, official documents, inscriptions, Buddhist scriptures, and official seals.

The surname "Rela" is nothing, and there are people with the surname "Iran".

Of course, among these more than one hundred surnames, several can often be classified as one. For example, Iran, Yilang, and Yilang actually belong to the same surname.

"Tied!"

Yao Pingzhong gave an order and continued to lead his troops to pursue and defeat the enemy.

In the wilderness, countless Xixia cavalry were running around, and they could not even figure out their direction. Sometimes when they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the left, they were frightened and turned to the right. After running away for a while, they realized that they were running back to Yanzhou City.

At first, they all ran with their respective chiefs and herdsmen, running away without caring about anyone.

No one dared to stop and blow the trumpet, for they were afraid of attracting the Ming cavalry. Because blowing the trumpet means that the organization has not been lost, it will become the key target of the Ming cavalry.

Brother Richard didn't dare to play the trumpet anymore, but he still couldn't get rid of Wu Lin.

Brother Richard, who had traveled a long distance, was chased closer and closer because he was trapped and out of horses after escaping for more than ten miles.

The formations of the soldiers and iron kites also became more and more scattered, and some people kept deliberately turning away from Brother Richard.

"ah!"

A scream came from behind, and Brother Richard was so frightened that he quickly leaned down and accelerated. It was one of his soldiers who was attacked.

"The one with the helmet and tassel must be the Xixia general!" shouted a Ming cavalryman.

"Chai Guoying!"

"Chai Guoying!"

Shouts came one after another. Brother Richard reached out to touch his helmet and found that there was indeed a helmet tassel on the top of his head.

He quickly tore off the helmet rope, took off the helmet and threw it away.

Brother Richard accelerated his horse again and whipped the horse's butt crazily, no longer caring about the possibility of outrunning the horse.

Sprinting away at full speed is like flying with wings on your back, just barely leaving the ground.

No matter how Wu Lin mobilized his war horses, he could not catch up even if he chased him to death. This was the crushing gap between the two war horses.

Brother Richard left everyone behind, including his own soldiers.

Escaped, actually let Brother Richard escape!

Wu Lin shouted: "Keep chasing him. He can't escape far like this, and the war horse will soon be exhausted!"

Brother Richard didn't dare to pause at all, and kept running wildly.

I don’t know how long I had been running away, but the sky was getting slightly brighter, and Brother Richard finally stopped whipping the horse.

He wanted to slow down and stop.

But the horse lost its spur and seemed to have been drained of all its strength. Its front legs became weak and it suddenly fell, throwing Brother Richard away.

Brother Richard was beaten to pieces, his head was dizzy, and his whole body was in severe pain and he couldn't stand up.

After a while, he put his hands on the ground and tried to get up, but felt a sharp pain in his right arm. It was because he had broken his arm when he fell off the horse.

Brother Richard was so painful that he was sweating all over, and his old nose was weakened. He untied his armband and draped with one hand. Then he took off his body armor and took off the armor on his chest and back, and instantly felt more relaxed.

He walked slowly toward the horse.

This top-notch horse from Ganzhou Racecourse was lying on the ground, twitching and foaming, looking at its owner pitifully.

He definitely wouldn't survive.

Brother Richard couldn't use his right arm, so he drew the sword with his left hand and pressed it against the horse's neck.

With all his strength, he pressed down, and blood spurted out from the horse's neck. Brother Richard stretched out his mouth to drink the horse's blood.

It not only frees the war horse from pain, but also replenishes its own physical strength.

After filling his stomach with horse blood, Brother Richard stood in the wilderness and looked around at no one.

He didn't know where he was because he forgot which direction he was running. Fearing that the Ming army would pursue him directly, he turned around midway.

Brother Richard took off all his armor, cut off two pieces of horse meat, and walked northeast with his clothes on his back.

He did not dare to go west. Even if he did not encounter the Ming army, he would starve to death in the semi-desert.

Although the east side has long been occupied by the Ming army, there are mountains and water sources, so it is not easy to starve to death or thirsty, and it is not easy to be captured by the Ming army.

After walking for a whole day, Brother Richard entered the hilly area.

His broken arm had become swollen. I came to a valley somewhere to rest at night. When I woke up, my head was dizzy and my whole body was burning hot with a high fever.

He struggled to get up, but finally gave up and fell asleep.

Drowsily, Brother Richard felt someone shouting. He opened his eyes with difficulty, saw a hunter, and said with joy: "I..."

Throat stings, voice hoarse.

"Save me..." Brother Richard said weakly, "I... am... King Jin... Brother Richard..."

Orion was ecstatic: "Are you really the King of Jin?"

Brother Richard found it difficult to nod at this moment, so he blinked and said, "It's me..."

Orion raised his foot and stepped down hard, and he stepped on Brother Richard's broken arm.

"ah!"

Brother Richard screamed, suddenly frightened and angry, and reluctantly touched the knife on his waist.

But nothing happened. It turned out that his knife was in the hand of Orion.

Orion smiled and said: "It's just right for you to collect the reward. If you want to live, don't move around and just let me tie you up. A living King Jin is always more valuable than a dead King Jin."

As expected, Brother Richard stopped moving and began to divert the other party's attention by saying: "Where is this?"

Orion said: "Fox Valley."

"It turns out we've arrived at Fox Valley..." Brother Richard looked miserable.

When Li Jiqian was defeated, Tian Qinzuo led his army to attack from Wanjingkou. Li Jiqian was beaten and fled to Dijinze to lick his wounds.

Those were the days when Li Jiqian was at his most depressed.

Can I make a comeback like my ancestors?

"Hand over, be honest!" Orion scolded.

Brother Richard said: "My arm... is broken, I can't use it anymore."

Orion stretched out his hand to pull, and Brother Richard screamed in pain.

Stimulated by the pain, Brother Richard suddenly turned around and fought back, scaring Orion into slashing out with his knife.

The knife struck Brother Richard on the face, and he immediately fell to the ground.

Orion was afraid of another accident, so he simply added a few more cuts and hacked Brother Richard to death.

Brother Richard, a famous general of the Xixia generation and King of Jin, died in the hands of a hunter.

At that time, Liu Fa, the best general in the northwest, was forced by Tong Guan to go deep into the army alone. When he broke out of the encirclement, he fell off a cliff and broke his leg. He was actually killed by a Xixia grain transport soldier.

Brother Richard sighed and sighed when he saw Liu Fa's body, and now it was finally his turn.

The hunter carried Brother Richard's head and ran quickly to the nearby Wanjingkou. He shouted from a long distance from the village wall: "Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows. The head of King Richard of Jin is here!"

There are only a few hundred garrison troops and civilians in Wanjingkou Village.

The garrison couldn't even understand what Orion was saying, but the local citizen understood it clearly: "General, great work has come. Outside is the head of Brother Richard, King of the Jin Dynasty of Xixia!"

The guard general was just the battalion commander of the Fengxiang Mansion garrison, a low-level general of the second-line army, who was thrown into Wanjingkou to garrison the fort.

He never thought that he would be able to make any meritorious deeds, he only looked forward to ending the war as soon as possible.

A human head was delivered to my door!

The guard took the local husband and quickly called the Orion in for questioning. Then they went to look for Brother Richard's body and sent people to Yanzhou City and Baichi City to report the news.

…

But he said that he had been waiting hard for a whole day, but before Brother Richard returned, he saw the cavalry who had escaped.

"Our army was defeated."

"Where is Prince Jin?"

"I don't know. Has Prince Jin come back yet?"

"Prince Jin won't be captured, right?"

"..."

The cavalry who stayed here to guard the livestock, as well as those who fled back one after another, became more and more frightened and confused.

Suddenly, a chief drew his sword and kidnapped him without warning.

"What are you going to do?" Bin Cunli was shocked.

The chief said to the other Xixia soldiers: "Daxia is definitely gone. From now on, we can only be loyal to Emperor Zhu, otherwise we will not get back our pastures and herdsmen. This guy's daughter is a queen, so I just happened to capture it and give it to the soldiers of tomorrow!"

Everyone reacted and thought it made sense.

When Bin Cunli knew that he would not die for the time being, he said shamelessly: "I have long wanted to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Brothers, please don't kill me. You send me gifts to see the general of the Ming army, and I will take the Ming army with me." Xingqing Mansion persuades the young emperor to surrender. When Xingqing Mansion is captured, we will all have great contributions!"
