"Superintendent, there are fires flickering under the back mountain!" A sergeant came to look for Shen Bai urgently.

Stepping on the snow, Shen Bai climbed up the ridge with difficulty, returned to the tent of the Chinese army, and went to the back mountain under the protection of the Chinese army.

Below, on the plain at the base of the cliff, a burning lamp flickered on and off.

"Call someone who understands the language of the navy's lights." Shen Bai ordered.

A soldier who understands the language of navy lights brought a lamp, looked at the lamp below and said excitedly: "Superintendent, he is sent by General Xiao."

Shen Bai nodded: "Tell them that we will find a way to connect the rope here and send people down, so that they can prepare to ride below."

Lantern language soldiers hold special lampshade lamps to signal.

"Hurry up and arrange someone to twist the thick hemp rope tonight." Shen Bai ordered.

Jia Shizhong hurried to make arrangements.

On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, the entire land of the Song Dynasty was full of joy, only the army of the Beiyuan Protectorate was still fighting in Khitan Xijing.

On the other hand, the Flying Eagle Valley, where the two kings fought against each other, was still as quiet as ever.

Early in the morning, the Khitan soldiers discovered that the strong wind finally stopped.

Yelu Anqi tidied up his clothes and arranged the army to prepare for the battle.

"Report to the king, urgent report from Xijing." The soldier came in from the outside and said.

Yelu Anqi took it over and took a look: "Call all the generals to discuss and suspend the dispatch of troops."

All the generals rushed to the golden tent, Yelu Anqi sat on the throne with his head on his head, thinking.

"See Your Majesty." All the generals saluted together.

"Sit down." Yelu Anqi signaled them to sit down: "Xijing is here to report that 26 Song troops are attacking Xijing."

After he finished speaking, he asked Xiaobing to hand over the emergency documents to everyone.

"Tell me what you think!"

"Xijing is important. Our army has already wiped out the main force of Zhongshu's cavalry. We can return to the division to fight and wipe out their northern army in one fell swoop. In this way, the threats from the east and the north will no longer exist. At that time, we will sit back and watch the party build the country, and we will go south in one fell swoop. .” A general who understands Yelu Anqi’s strategy for many years calmly analyzed it.

"No!" Yeluannu stopped him: "We have already besieged the newly crowned county king of the Song Dynasty, and we have the upper hand. How can we retreat? This Shen Bai killed King Yeluhao, and we can wash him off if we kill him. My Khitan's bloody enmity, how can I retreat decisively?"

"Xijing guards the entire southwestern border and is the largest horse farm for our cavalry, so there is no room for loss!" Yeluming also persuaded.

"It turns out that you all advocate retreating. Why don't you give me an army of one hundred thousand. I'm here. Your Majesty will lead the troops back to save Xijing." Yeluannu said beyond his control.

"Hmph!" Yelu Anqi smiled disdainfully: "Even if the emperor comes in person, he would not dare to cut down my military power. What are you?"

Yeluannu was about to get angry, but when he saw An Qi's face, he fell silent.

Yelu Anqi is cruel and ruthless, how can he smooth the beard of a tiger.

"Arrange the army to retreat, but if you want to retreat, you can't retreat like this." Yelu Anqi said: "This Shen Bai is pretending to be a ghost, I will not give him color, and he will not remember my name, Yelu Anqi."

"Follow the king's orders!" The generals stood up and returned.

The army of the White Wolf Army was divided into five groups and began to set up a mighty camp, and one of them stopped at the entrance of Feiying Valley to guard.

"They are withdrawing towards Yunzhou. It seems that Xijing has already started fighting." Jia Shizhong said excitedly.

Shen Bai watched the White Wolf Army retreat in an orderly manner, and confessed: "If you can't hold on, we will talk about it in three days."

"Three, three days?" Jia Shizhong repeated in disbelief.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, there was still no movement outside Feiying Valley, and the several groups of scouts sent out reported that there were no enemy troops around.

"The whole army is assembled, ready to set off and return to Youzhou!" Shen Bai ordered.

"Oh!" The entire Flying Eagle Valley was boiling, and they were ecstatic that they could go back.

"Jiang Cheng led five thousand cavalry to open the way." Shen Bai issued an order, and the whole army marched in Feiying Valley.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, we are about to reach the former Khitan left camp." Tan Ma came to report.

Shen Bai nodded, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to speak, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly came from the side.

A large number of white wolf cavalry suddenly appeared in the woods.

The front end of the Zhongshu army suddenly became chaotic.

"The cavalry presses over, and the three infantry form a formation of ten thousand people." Shen Bai shouted.

The infantry formation of Ten Thousand Formation was divided into triangles, with Shen Bai protecting the middle.

"The cavalry of the rear army come out and protect the two wings. Jia Shizhong, send someone to Youzhou for help." Shen Bai said, looking at the tens of thousands of white wolf troops ahead.

"Yes!" Jia Shizhong arranged for the cavalry to rush out and report to Youzhou.

"Shijun took [-] infantry to the woods, blocked them from rushing out, and made their cavalry cripple in the woods." Shen Bai looked at the terrain and said.

"Ha!" The [-] infantry formation quickly approached, because there were cavalry in front of them, and they were unable to fire artillery and arrows.

The long halberd soldiers in front guarded the two sides, and the archers in the middle drew out their wild goose feather swords and went forward together with the heavy shieldmen.

The cavalry's opening was blocked by infantry.

Yelu Anqi watched the formation of Shen Bai's infantry, and sneered: "Their infantry are good, go around and charge me."

The generals of the Zhongshu Army saw it and persuaded Shen Bai: "The commander-in-chief goes first and retreats to the hot spring valley. We will stick to it."

Shen Bai looked at the cavalry on the other side, and concluded that not all of them were here, and pulled out the Dragon Sword: "The left and right troops spread out and surrounded them. The heavy shield soldiers took the lead, and the long halberds defended by my side."

Daniel hit the horse: "Brothers, get on!"

The two ten thousand infantrymen rushed over together, and the melee was concentrated inside and outside the woods.

The infantry occupies the open space, and the cavalry cannot be used in the woods.

The two sides fought entirely by courage and force.

The big bull couldn't squeeze through on the horse, so he got off the horse and beat him with double whips.

The fight between the two sides was chaotic, but their respective territories showed no intention of retreating.

Yelu Anqi watched, sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the more than 1 cavalry behind him drew their bows and stringed them.

"Fire the arrows!" Tens of thousands of arrows were fired at the enemy outside the woods, making the battle line even more chaotic.

The infantrymen of the Zhongshu army who were shot were trampled by the horses and retreated step by step.

Yelu Anqi put out his saber: "Rush out."

Seeing that the front was a bit chaotic, thousands of halberd soldiers ordered in unison.

Five-meter long halberds lined up, facing the front, ready to die at any time.

Shen Bai's personal cavalry drew out their Yanling swords, ready to fight to the death at any time.

"Woo!" The White Wolf Army went off the assembly line and issued bursts of horns.

When Yelu Anqi heard this, he sneered and said, "It's your fate, kids, get out!"

As soon as he gave an order, the antlers sounded, and the Khitan cavalry retreated into the woods.

On the horizon, a veteran in golden helmet and armor appeared leading three thousand infantrymen. Behind Shen Bai, more than 1 cavalry detoured under the leadership of Xiao Yan.

"The enemy army is cunning, the commander-in-chief should go back to Youzhou first!" Xiao Yan persuaded.

Shen Bai sighed softly, and asked Jia Shijun, "How many brothers did we die in battle?"

"A little more than 5000!" Jia Shijun replied, the two sides fought hand-to-hand for a short time, but it was absolutely tragic.

The White Wolf Army only lost less than 2000 corpses, which was considered a successful ambush.

"More than 5 of them have retreated from the back mountain and headed towards Yunzhou."

Tan Ma came back and answered Xiao Yan.

"Let's go back to Youzhou!" Shen Bai nodded, and tried the second battle in his life, the first defeat that he personally commanded.

One defeat to Yunzhou, two defeats to Wenquangou.

They are all Yelu Anqi.

The news of Shen Bai's health was sent to Bianjing immediately at night, and Yu Wentuo heaved a sigh of relief.

"Going to sea on the seventh day of the lunar new year will not change, and will lead [-] troops to Yunzhou in three days." Yu Wentuo looked at the letter sent by Shen Bai, and suppressed the sigh in his heart.

Although the first battle since the establishment of the Zhongshu Province was lost, no one dared to join Shen Bai. It was not easy to fight against 20, not to mention that Shen Bai didn't have many troops this time.

"Please invite Uncle Wang to discuss matters!" Yu Wentuo asked Eunuch Wang to invite someone.

"The first [-] troops recruited have arrived, how do we arrange them?" Xiao Yan looked at the tired Shen Bai and asked.

"Mix the old and the new, reorganize an army of [-], all infantry, and go to Xijing." Shen Bai looked at Xiao Yan and said, "His Royal Highness King Wuyue has arrived, and you have made arrangements to prepare for the expedition."

Shen Bai made preparations here, but he failed to set off as scheduled after sending Xiao Yan away.

Because of the fall of Xiliang Mansion, Qi Baili was captured alive.

Bianjing was furious.

On the sixth night of the first lunar month, Shen Bai couldn't help but sigh when he saw the battle report.

I made a bet with Qi Baili that he would be made the king of the county, but Qi Baili would become a prisoner, the two corresponded, it was really a world of difference.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Yu Wenzhen, the King of Yue who had arrived earlier, quietly set off with the fleet at the military port to go to Qiongzhou for conquest under the escort of Yu Wentuo and Shen Bai.

"How does Ah Bai view the war in the Northwest?" Yu Wentuo came here not only to see him off, but also to change the situation in the Northwest.

Shen Bai, he, and Zihuan sat in the study and drank tea together. The warm earth dragon made people feel the indifference of severe winter at all.

"Xiliang fell due to the bitter cold weather, it is really unimaginable, why?" Shen Bai asked curiously without seeing the specific reason in the battle report.

Yu Wentuo glanced at him, raised his cup and took a sip of tea: "Because of jealousy, I got cheated by the other party. I went out of the city excitedly to chase after him, but was flanked by him."

Shen Bai smelled the unique smell of black tea, closed his eyes and said, "Die because of the word 'stupid'."

Yu Wentuo paid attention to Shen Bai's cold expression this time: "You rarely say such things, especially when you are behind others."

"That's because I didn't think there are so many stupid people in the world, and now I'm just feeling emotional." Shen Bai replied.

Zihuan looked at the abnormal Shen Bai: "Ah Bai is angry?"

"Yeah, mourning for his misfortune, angering him for not fighting, frequently causing troubles for the world." Shen Bai said angrily: "We should send that idiot Gu Changyong there together, and let someone catch him."

"Abai!" Zihuan persuaded loudly, it was too casual to speak of his father-in-law in front of the emperor.

"Hahahaha!" Yu Wentuo raised his head and laughed loudly: "I thought so too at the time!"

Shen Bai laughed wildly with him, laughing so much that tears came out as if venting, Zihuan was making tea beside him without saying a word, Shu Yu was right, the two of them are simply a kind of weirdo.

"What about Northwest?" Yu Wentuo looked at Shen Bai after laughing.

"Beiyuan is tied, and the northwest will be rescued. Otherwise, let Wang Mingzhang hold Jingzhao Road!" Shen Bai answered him bluntly.

"Even if Qiongzhou is recovered, it will take four to five months. I'm afraid we still need good news to support it." Yu Wentuo said thoughtfully.

"If Beiyuan is damaged, the northwest will really become a broken gong, which cannot be struck." Shen Bai persuaded.

"Then what do you think of Abai?" Yu Wentuo said calmly, "Do you have any opinions on Yelu Anqi from Beiyuan?"

"Go to the East China Sea Jurchen to promote the founding of the Jurchen, and then send the envoy Wei to support them to attack Khitan. I will rebuild Yunzhou Mansion and station [-] troops to contain him. The rest is to train troops here. Wait until the soldiers and horses are strong , although it can't be a complete victory, it can make the situation stable." Shen Bai expressed his thoughts confidently.

It is not difficult to go to the Donghai Jurchen as an envoy, but it is simply a fantasy.
