: Something bad is coming

The sound of horses' hooves is like thunder, galloping on the wide galloping road, galloping on the country roads, passing through the countryside and passing through villages.

In the dilapidated thatched house, Thursday's family huddled together. The thinly dressed family members were tightly packed together and covered with some thatch. Thursday, standing by the door, looked through the gap in the door.

Looking outside nervously.

The government usually doesn't bother to pay attention to people like them, but when it thinks of them, it only means one thing.

I want money and food.

But now they have nothing.

A family of five or six had only a dozen kilograms of corn left.

If the government comes to force them again, then it will really be a dead end.

There are thirty or forty households in this village, almost every household is like this.

Although the person is not dead yet, he only has his last breath left.

The sound of horse hooves suddenly stopped.

Then there was a sound.

"Little Lieutenant Zhang is back, gathering the righteous people to participate in the grand event, kill the rebels, and restore the Song Dynasty!"

The knight on the horse raised a flag high and walked slowly along the village.

Thursday's fists suddenly clenched.

He opened the thin door panel with a crash, stood on the threshold, and asked loudly: "Where is Little Lieutenant Zhang?"

"Lantian, Lieutenant Zhang will fight the enemy decisively in Lantian and gather the righteous people to fight against the rebels together!"

The knight on the horse answered loudly, then reined in his horse and ran off into the distance again.

Thursday stood stunned for a moment, then suddenly walked to the corner, picked up a hoe, walked to the corner of the yard, waved the hoe, and dug down hard. A moment later, a package wrapped tightly with linen appeared in front of him.

He knelt on the ground and opened the linen package layer by layer, and a simple knife appeared in front of him.

Somewhat rusty.

Carrying the plain knife, Thursday walked to the whetstone and sharpened the knife.

After a moment, the rusty knife once again flashed a cold light.

Thursday held the knife and looked at the mother-in-law doll standing on the threshold.

"Little Lieutenant Zhang is back, I'm going!"

The mother-in-law pursed her lips, but tears were streaming down her face.

"If we don't kill those idiots, we will die in the end!" Zhou Zhou paused his sword on the ground, "Now that Lieutenant Zhang is back, we have a chance to survive, so we have to earn some money.

Wait for me, I will bring food back! You stay at home and take good care of the baby!"

After leaving these words behind, Thursday picked up the knife and turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

At this moment, dozens more men came out of the village, some old and some young. The old man had gray hair, and the young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Some people hold knives and guns in their hands, some just have a wooden stick, and some just carry hoes, sheep forks and other items from home.

"Folks, follow me!"

On Thursday, pick up the knife and walk in the forefront.

He had served as a soldier before, was a commander under the old lieutenant, and was the backbone of the village.

As a knight like this ran in the wind and snow, more and more young men holding various weapons began to gather towards Lantian County.

Ten days ago, Zhang Cheng raided Languan Pass and removed this important pass that locked his throat. The troops from the Qinling Mountains poured out along the Languan Pass.

After hearing the news, Chang'an Hou Qubao of Zhao State was furious and immediately selected 20,000 garrison troops to march towards Lantian.

There are only thousands of bandits huddled in the Qinling Mountains, but they actually dare to come and stroke the tiger's beard!

You usually hide in the Qinling Mountains, and I can't do anything to you.

You are like a wild wolf, sneaking up and attacking here, robbing you there, and I can't do anything to you.

But now you are actually going down the mountain with great fanfare to attack the city. Isn't this looking for death?

Captain Zhang, what a great name.

I'm just showing respect to you, me.

Do you really think you have any ability?

Chang'an Hou Qubao, who was furious but also a little overjoyed, led his soldiers and horses all the way to Lantian County, vowing to kill this grass bandit who had been coaxing Zhao for many years.

When he arrived at Lantian, Zhang Cheng had already captured Lantian County and was defending the city.

Qu Bao immediately surrounded Lantian County and began a fierce attack.

For him, Zhang Cheng, who entered the county town, had become the best among men.

How can the small Lantian County withstand his onslaught?

Qu Bao, who was fighting fiercely with Zhang Cheng in Lantian, never imagined that his biggest mistake was to leave Chang'an City.

After he left, the city suddenly became agitated.

Countless people started going from house to house at night and began to connect.

The State of Zhao has become a candle in the wind, and anyone with some discernment can see this.

Zhang Cheng is not a fool. He went down the mountain brazenly. He could only be in contact with someone else, and this person was probably Qin Fenglu and Li Chun.

You must know that Li Chun has always stationed a large army in Fufeng and other places, and is eyeing Jingzhao Mansion.

It would be fine if Qu Bao could defeat Zhang Cheng quickly and return to his army. If he was delayed or even defeated, then Jingzhao Mansion would fall.

Right now, no one can really save Jingzhao Mansion.

Qu Zhen herself could not protect herself. The Song army was only a hundred miles away from Kaifeng Mansion and could arrive in the morning or evening.

The Liao army on the Hebei Road had no strength left after a big defeat in Sui County. I heard that Lu Ben'an, the governor of the Hebei Road, was scolded by Zhennan King Yeluzhen. The conflict between the two was finally revealed this time.

The world is over.

If Qu Bao had stationed troops in Chang'an and relied on the strong city wall, he might still be able to survive, but now that he has left, many people's minds have become active.

Who wants to accompany their Qu family to death together?

Just as Qu Bao left Chang'an City, some of the wealthy gentry and messengers from some powerful people in the city had also left Chang'an City and headed towards Fufeng.

When Zhang Cheng stood on the top of Lantian County, staring at Qubao's camp below the city, Qin Fenglu's soldiers and horses, led by Li Chun's eldest son Li Gang, were already rushing towards Jingzhao Mansion.

In a few days, the city of Chang'an was already within easy reach.

Rather than talking about martial arts and Xingpingping, it was Li Gang who defeated them. It is better to say that these places simply gave up resistance and surrendered directly.

Qu Bao was shocked when he heard the big change behind him.

But now he wanted to leave, but he couldn't!

How could Zhang Cheng allow him to leave so calmly?

The decisive battle began under Lantian County.

For Zhang Cheng, if he wins this battle, he will be able to enter Baili Qinchuan.

For Qu Bao, only by defeating Zhang Cheng as quickly as possible can he immediately return to support Chang'an City and defeat Qin Fenglu's troops.

The city gate opened, and Zhang Cheng took the lead in leaping out.

Behind him, thousands of soldiers filed out.

Their armor may be in tatters, their weapons may be scarred, and their bodies may look thin, but their eyes are burning with blazing fire.

They have suffered in the mountains for several years, and now they are back!

A party with a large number of people and well-equipped equipment,

One side is full of morale and confidence,

In the snowy sky, the two men collided with each other.

The arrows cut through the wind and snow, sometimes even covering the wind and snow, falling between each other's ranks, breaking through armor and tearing muscles.

The sword's light flashed, and it struck the body heavily. When the sword was drawn out, it brought out clusters of bright red color, and even steamed up.

Unfortunately, before it landed, it condensed into red flowers and fell to the ground.

When a person falls, not much blood will flow out of the wound.

The cold weather sealed the wound in an instant.

Gan Quan's horse fell down, and when more than a dozen spears came at him, the horseman stood up and used his body to block most of the stabs for Gan Quan, giving Gan Quan time to jump off the horse and hold his hands in both hands. The knife rushed over.

With one strike, several gun shafts were cut off, and with another strike, several people's heads flew into the wind.

The war horse fell suddenly, and its last look was still on the man who was moving forward bravely, even if the man didn't look back at it again.
