Reborn as Murong Fu: This time I am the protagonist

Late at night, Lingzhou City, Xixia.

The battle at the Xixia Palace was nothing more than a cry of wild geese in the sky to the entire northwest. Although it was sad and sad, the geese passed by silently, and the sky was still the same sky.

Helian Tieshu had not slept for two days in a row, and his bloodshot eyes were staring at a place on the map, Yingchou Gorge.

In a great battle eight years ago, Xixia's elite troops went all the way south and made quite a few gains. However, just when the situation was looking good, the West Route Army among the two armies of the East and West suffered a massive defeat at Yingchou Gorge. Song's strong resistance.

In the end, the West Route Army fought fiercely at Yingchou Gorge for three days, but failed to arrive at the predetermined location as scheduled to form a joint attack with the East Route Army. As a result, the East Route Army could not fight alone and returned without success.

After that battle, the Song army fully realized the important role of Yingchou Gorge and built a large number of forts near the canyon, forming a criss-crossing pattern, making Yingchou Gorge a tightrope to restrain the Xixia army from advancing eastward.

Just as Helian Tieshu was meditating, a figure walked into the camp, and he was a personal soldier of Helian Tieshu.

The man came to Helian Tieshu, bowed first, and then presented a tightly packed cowhide bag to Helian Tieshu.

Helian Tieshu's eyes narrowed, and his heart that was about to get angry instantly calmed down. The unspoken shouts and curses were instantly put back, and his eyes were fixed on the cowhide bag in front of him.

Because the information contained in this kind of bag means top secret.

Helian Tieshu took the bag and motioned for the soldiers to go down first.

When he was alone, Helian Tieshu carefully opened the bag and read the contents of the letter carefully.

The letter was written in both Chinese characters and Tangut.

Helian Tieshu read the contents of the letter with a serious face, his expression gradually relaxed, and finally, he couldn't help laughing loudly.

He strode out of the commander's tent, waved his hand, and shouted: "Pass the order, Huwei Camp's five hundred fine armored cavalry are on standby at any time. We will set out at the third watch tonight. We must arrive at Yingchou Gorge at the fifth watch!"

After saying this order, Helian Tieshu called his own soldiers, and with the help of the two men, he put on his heavy armor.

This is a heavily protected heavy armor. It was improved on the Song Army's infantry armor by replacing the helmet with a round helmet and lengthening the collar. In addition to the outer layer of fish scale armor, there is an inner layer. Plate armor and a layer of soft armor protect the whole body airtightly. Although the aesthetics are greatly reduced, the protection ability has been improved by more than one level. Even if the area below the neck is hit by an archer from the front within fifty steps, it will be completely protected. Don't worry.

To penetrate such a pair of tightly protected armor, I am afraid that only the Song Army's bed crossbow with an effective range of 500 steps can do it.

This was not because he was afraid of cold arrows from the Song Army's archers. Although there was a precedent from the Khitan general Xiao Taolin in the past, Helian Tieshu was not worried about this.

It was an assassination by a master of martial arts in the Song Dynasty.

These masters of martial arts would be nothing if they faced off against a military formation. An army of a thousand people forming a formation could easily kill the same number of ordinary martial artists.

The key is that these people are unable to prevent the assassination.

At that time, the Liao State invaded the Song Dynasty on a large scale, but returned without success before fighting. Later, news came out that the reason why the Liao Army retreated was due to the assassination of Yelu Bulu, the deputy marshal of the Liao Army led by the West Route Army.

Helian Tieshu put on his clothes and armor, got up and prepared to go out of the tent.

At this moment, Helian Tieshu suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in his heart.

He is not from the Xixia royal family, nor is he a member of the Dangxiang clan. He has been able to reach this point by fighting to the death with swords and guns. In terms of pure martial arts, Helian Tieshu is at best second-rate in the arena, but in terms of combat experience and ability to perceive crises, he is definitely first-rate.

Just feeling the crisis, Helian Tieshu drew out the sword from his waist and shouted: "Be careful!"

These two soldiers of his were no ordinary people. After Helian Tieshu reminded them, they quickly drew their swords and stood in front of the commander.

As soon as he finished speaking, two black figures rushed into the handsome tent one after another, like two scorpions hiding under the desert Gobi, and launched an attack on the opponent in coordination.

Although the reaction of the two soldiers was not slow, their martial arts skills were far behind their opponents. Although they were wearing armor, they were hit on the shoulder by the weapons of one of the assassins just after they met.

The fierce force caused the two soldiers' shoulder bones to crack in an instant, and half of their bodies were completely crippled.

However, this block also gave Helian Tieshu a chance to react. At this time, Helian Tieshu's shout of "there are assassins" had already attracted a large number of sergeants to rush here.

The weapon in the hand of the other assassin was quite strange, not a knife nor a sword. But a sack.

With a sack in hand, he immediately threw the cover towards Helian Tieshu. Helian Tieshu was caught off guard and his head was covered.

Then the two assassins took action at the same time, hitting the Helian Iron Tree with one sword and one mace at the same time.

Helian Tieshu was knocked backwards by this heavy blow, but protected by heavy armor, these two blows did not cause serious injuries.

Quickly removing the sack covering his head, Helian Tieshu waved his sword and slashed at the two opponents in front of him.

With one against two, he was no match, but due to the protection of his armor, even though he was attacked many times, he never sustained any fatal injuries.

Seeing that the other party could not hurt him, Helian Tieshu felt relieved.

At this time, more than a dozen guards had rushed into the tent. In the small space, they were armed with swords and guns. Although the two assassins were very skilled in martial arts, the space was small and it was difficult to use them.

Seeing that the assassin was in trouble, Helian Tieshu made a move and shouted: "Capture them alive!"

His whole body was wrapped in heavy armor, and even his face was protected by a mask. However, with just a wave of his hand, a black object quickly shot out of an assassin's hand and hit Helian Tieshu's palm.

Helian Tieshu was shocked and subconsciously grabbed it, only to feel that the touch was very strange. Just as he was wondering, his palm hurt, as if he had been stabbed by an awl, and then the whole palm became numb.

The two assassins succeeded in one blow and no longer struggled. Two people and three weapons quickly opened a way out and ran towards the outside of the camp.

There was chaos in the handsome tent. Helian Tieshu took a closer look and saw that the person who injured him was a colorful scorpion. In a moment, his entire palm was black and the poison was still spreading.

Helian Tieshu made an immediate decision and cut a large gash in his palm with a knife. He quickly pulled a strip of cloth around his wrist. A large amount of black blood poured out of the mouth with a pungent stench.

Outside the tent, the two assassins were pursued by a large number of infantry.

At the critical moment, an old man in yellow shirt and dozens of Beggar Clan disciples dressed in rags formed a formation to block the pursuing infantry and fought together with the pursuers.

The two groups of people joined forces, fought and retreated, and headed out of the city. By the time they left the city, only six of the dozens of people were left, and all of them were injured.

The old man in yellow shirt yelled: "You two, have you succeeded?"

One of the men in black sneered: "Although I couldn't kill the Xixia coach, he was poisoned by my scorpion poison. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, half of his life would be gone!"

Hearing this, the old man in yellow felt a little comforted, and then shouted: "Retreat to the direction of Yingchou Gorge! Quan Xiucai and Lao Songtou are guarding there! The gang leader personally led people to burn the food and grass of the Xixia people. We must help the brothers there to secure the gang leader’s retreat!”
