Chapter 288

Time passed quickly, and in the panic, a year passed. This Lingwu County in Lingzhou was armed to the extreme by Zeng Yunfeng. Even so, he could only gather one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry. They are all miscellaneous soldiers and some farmers.

It is adjacent to the Loess Plateau and the Yellow River, and the terrain is unfavorable, otherwise Xixia would be even more rampant.

Not long after the founding of the Xixia Kingdom, there were frequent foreign wars, especially the frequent conflicts on the border between Song and Xia. Zeng Yunfeng was not used to them.

This is also helpless, calling for support and not coming for a long time, the slow-moving army, on the opposite side of Xixia, ran away after killing people, and the Song Dynasty's army didn't even have a shadow.

Xixia cavalry came and went like the wind, he couldn't just wait, the Song army was already overwhelmed.

Instead of letting the flames of war burn within his own jurisdiction, it is better to let the flames of war burn on the opposite land as he wishes.

The situation in Lingwu County under Zeng Yunfeng's current jurisdiction is a little bit better, and there is still room for counterattacks. Other border areas are full of corruption. This year's Xixia army even directly attacked Yanzhou (now Yan'an area).

The Song army in Lingzhou where Zeng Yunfeng is now is even more out of reach. He can only attack Liangdao later and build Lingwu City by the way. He wants to make it as solid as gold.

At this time, the army of the Song Dynasty no longer had the bravery of Chai Rong during the Northern Expedition, and the Xixia people drove straight in, as if entering a land without people.

The so-called governance of Lingzhou and even the right to know the affairs of Lingwu County is out of the question. The army passes through the territory almost every day, and his county government was burned the previous time.

Zeng Yunfeng knew that there would be three decisive battles ahead, and these battles would truly determine the fate of these Lingzhou people.

Now Xixia has just established a country, and the Northern Song Dynasty and Xixia are at war. This war is estimated to last for a long time.

Many of these cities and villages on the border will be destroyed by the flames of war. Zeng Yunfeng is responsible for guarding the land. As the magistrate of a county, he has to ask about it.

Zeng Yunfeng's ability and anger had no room to explode, so he decided to reward all these party members and invite them to have a good drink.

Zeng Yunfeng still doesn't know what's going on in his family, he only knows that this person's surname is Sheng Minghong, his hometown is in Youyang, and he has sent several letters from his family.

He came out to take office this time with only a servant.

There were also a few times when the family letter was lost. Zeng Yunfeng found out that Sheng Hong should have married the daughter of an important official in the court and gave birth to a baby girl, which was mentioned in the family letter.

There should be an old mother at home, but Zeng Yunfeng could only imitate this person's notes and write some letters home.

The content of the family letter is to do not think, do not read, and everything is safe, and then kowtow to the old mother at home, asking the mother to take care of her health, and asking her wife to take care of the mother at home, and to take good care of her body and her daughter.

In the courtyard of the Sheng family in Youyang's hometown.

"Look, mother, the officer actually wrote me a letter. It's incredible!" Sheng Hong's wife sighed after receiving it, and said excitedly, clutching the letter to her chest.

"My dynasty is at war. My son must have suffered a lot in Lingzhou and grew up a lot." The old lady sighed and worried while holding the letter.

"Isn't that official in danger!" Sheng Hong's wife hurriedly said.

"It's more dangerous to come back now!" The old lady pinched the envelope and said.

This time, Zeng Yunfeng himself took over another cause and effect, this thing has to be returned, borrowing someone else's body, he has to help others take care of these old mothers and children.

Wars have always been bloody and cruel. Fortunately, the equipment of the Song Dynasty was not bad, based on Zeng Yunfeng's battles with the various tribes of Xixia these days.

These scattered achievements made the generals and civil officials of the border army of the Song Dynasty admire the magistrate surnamed Sheng who was born as a civil official.

The Battle of Sanchuankou, which took place this year, seemed to be invincible for both sides, but in fact, the Song Dynasty suffered a big defeat, and the soldiers suffered a lot of casualties. As a result, the war between the two sides directly became fierce. The decadence of the Song Army made the Xixia people's ambitions surge.

The imperial court immediately appointed Xia Song as the appeasement envoy of Shaanxi economic strategy, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan as deputy envoys, jointly responsible for the affairs of fighting against Xixia, Han Qi presided over the Jingyuan Road, and Fan Zhongyan was in charge of the Yanyan Road.

These troops of Zeng Yunfeng are all militia troops, they are all miscellaneous troops, and they can win the battle thanks to Zeng Yunfeng's strong perception and previous combat experience, as well as some captive equipment borrowed from these troops that fought against Xixia , but this equipment is not for nothing, he still traded it for military exploits.

The defeats of the Song army, the generals of these armies had to suffer, and they could make a difference with some military exploits.

Zeng Yunfeng should not be too familiar with the terrain of the battle site now. He had conquered and ruled here before. As a descendant of Yan, he slowly annexed the entire Central Plains from Xixia.

I am not familiar with these places in Lingzhou. If my army is not enough in number and quality, I can fight to Xingqing Mansion. Of course, it will be a matter of time.

Limited by the number of his own army and the actual quality of the army, Zeng Yunfeng could only circle around Lingzhou.

Zeng Yunfeng snatched all the Xixia troops near Lingzhou as long as they could fight, and left all their weapons, armor and crossbows to arm these people, so that they themselves have a certain ability to resist these Xixia troops who come to grab their land and grab their land. People who rob them of their food.

He also specially made up for the local people to practice martial arts together, and passed on some boxing techniques to them. These boxing techniques were learned by Zeng Yunfeng from the Republic of China era, and they can be used without any internal strength.

In front of him, he forced the common people to learn. If they don't learn, they will be killed. Learning martial arts is really food-consuming, and the common people are not very willing.

Zeng Yunfeng also found that in this era, there seems to be no internal strength, but it is strange that he can develop it by himself.

What Zeng Yunfeng passed on to these locals were relatively fierce boxing techniques, such as Xingyiquan and Bajiquan.

Others say that Tai Chi does not go out for ten years, and Xingyi kills people in one year. This is not just for fun, kung fu is used to kill people.

It is said that Xingyiquan was created by Yue Fei and Yue Wumu to let these army soldiers practice spears, and this boxing technique can be applied to spear techniques.

Zeng Yunfeng also gave these things to the common people, and also passed on the sword technique, the method of taming and raising horses.

Almost all the people on these frontiers can ride horses, but the methods of raising and taming horses are still far apart. If they raise horses in this way, although they can be ridden by then, they will not be able to reach the level of first-class war horses. Zeng Yunfeng devoted himself Buried in this place and developed for nearly a year, while fighting guerrillas with Xixia.

Zeng Yunfeng also found out that farming in the Hetao Plain is indeed a little annoying, and they are also very bad party members. You plant some crops, and they will destroy you when they come.

They can't grab property, so they choose to destroy your crops, use horses to trample them, burn your crops, and do this kind of ghost thing.

Zeng Yunfeng stood on an earthen platform made of wood, with soldiers and civilians gathered underneath, and behind him were countless fertile fields that had been burned, a large black area, shocking.

"I am Sheng Hong, the official of Lingwu County, the governor of the Great Song Dynasty. We want peace, but if we don't defeat Li Yuanhao, we will have no peace. Piecemeal measures won't work. Let's see, all these countless fertile fields have been burned, and all the hard work of the year has been wasted. , This year will be the same, and next year will be the same, shall we endure it!" Zeng Yunfeng said, pointing to the mess behind him.

"Li Yuanhao's ancestors, they left us without food, so we robbed them of food!"

"My ancestors, I have had enough of this kind of life! Today I have no choice, either fight or die!" Zeng Yunfeng pulled out his sword and pointed it at the sky.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" Countless people's spirit of martial arts and martial arts were fully mobilized. Zeng Yunfeng's hard work for more than a year was not in vain. The people were ready to kill themselves with sharp weapons. They will change from sheep to wolves starting today .

Zeng Yunfeng couldn't bear it anymore, simply, since this year's harvest is gone, Zeng Yunfeng will go and grab them instead.

Anyway, now that the two countries are at war, who is afraid of the other? If he is not allowed to be a civil servant at ease, he will become a military officer. This is their own choice, so don't regret it.

At night, Zeng Yunfeng took a thousand cavalry and three hundred heavy cavalry directly to the Xixia partial division camp, and they were definitely the ones who burned the fertile land this time.

Zeng Yunfeng drew his longbow, and Han Xingfei didn't directly shoot down the sentinel in the watchtower. He narrowed his eyes, quickly took off his horse, and shouted "Kill!"

The roaring cavalry gathered behind him, Zeng Yunfeng waved his horse, picked up two repelling horses in one fell swoop, and broke through the gate of the camp in an instant, "Follow me!"

He rushed into the enemy camp like a gust of wind.

"Rocket, shoot! Burn their camp!"

Zeng Yunfeng quickly pierced through the first Xixia general who rushed out with his sharp hand, and the blood flowed down the long spear to the tassel. The long spear pierced the body and held it up high, shouting: "The enemy general is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

The Xixia partial division camp has directly turned into a sea of ​​flames, panicked, Xixia's rear was attacked, and the war continued to burn until dawn.

"My lord, there are more than a thousand prisoners, more than a thousand horses, and countless supplies! There are more than two hundred casualties." Dong Rong, who was wearing armor and still had an immature face, said, clasping his hands.

"How many captives have been transformed!"

"More than five hundred!"

"Okay, enough!"

"The wounded soldiers were sent back to Lingwu for recuperation, the remains were cremated and sent back to Lingwu, and the captives continued to be transformed. After resting for half a day, we went to the next place." Zeng Yunfeng said, shaking his horsewhip.

"In addition, tell Zou Rongfeng to bring one hundred heavy cavalry back to the city and follow the plan, and the remaining two hundred will follow me, one with two horses, and we will head straight for Haiyuan." He pointed his whip and pointed into the distance as if he saw something.

"But my lord, we are leaving our post without permission!"

"Are you the magistrate or I am the magistrate? There's so much nonsense!" Zeng Yunfeng gave Dong Rong a look.
