"Old Li, do you think the people of Xixia will let us go?" Wang Gui kept looking back and asked.

"I have calculated their number. They still have about a hundred people now. We only took fifty horses, and they still have one hundred and fifty war horses. I think they will continue to chase them. Unless we enter Wulong Village, they will never give up."

Wang Gui sighed, "You are right. The people of Xixia are famous for not admitting defeat. We have to speed up and they will catch up soon."

Everyone accelerated their horses and ran for about twenty miles. A soldier suddenly pointed at the front and shouted, "Is that our army?"

Li Yanqing and Wang Gui both saw an army of about 2,000 people running towards this side, only a few hundred steps away from them. Wang Gui was overjoyed: "It must be reinforcements!"

He urged the horse to rush forward, waved his hand and shouted, "I am the magic arrow Agui!"

Li Yanqing suddenly looked back and he felt a slight vibration on the ground. Although it was very slight, it was an absolute signal. The Western Xia army was chasing him.

Li Yanqing urged the horse to run without thinking, and rushed to Sun Qing for a moment. Without any time to say more, he said anxiously: "Let the army lie on both sides of the army, and the Western Xia cavalry are chasing you."

Sun Qing reacted very quickly and turned around and ordered: "Amnesty on both sides immediately!"

The Song soldiers were well-trained and rushed to both sides, lying on the land on both sides. Li Yanqing said to Sun Qing again: "Please go to ambush when you know the village. Let's continue running forward and lure the enemy."

"How many people are there?" Sun Qing asked anxiously.

"About a hundred men, all cavalry."

Only one hundred cavalrymen, Sun Qing breathed a little relieved, turned his horse's head and ran eastward, and soon hid behind a mound. Li Yanqing and everyone continued to run forward. After only a moment, countless small black dots appeared hundreds of steps behind them, and hundreds of Western Xia cavalry were chasing them, stirring up the rolling yellow dust.

The general Yelian of the Zuo was killed, and the two leaders felt that they could not go back and explain. Apart from continuing to chase, they had no way out. Hundreds of Western Xia cavalry rushed to whip their horses and ran wildly on the Loess Plateau. Soon the soldiers were riding on two horses, and they were fast.

At this time, a leader finally saw a group of horses running in front. He was overjoyed and shouted, "They are right in front and catch up with them!"

All the soldiers of Xixia were skilled in equestrianism. They suffered heavy damage when attacking the mountain and were stolen from war horses. They had already held their breath and kept galloping and running wildly, running like lightning, but unexpectedly they fell into the ambush circle of the Song army.

Seeing that the time had come, Sun Qing ordered: "Cum!"

The sound of archery clamor suddenly sounded, and the Song soldiers lying on both sides set their bows and shot arrows together. The dense arrows shot at the hundreds of Western Xia cavalry. The ambush came too suddenly. The Western Xia cavalry were caught off guard and were all caught off guard. 40% of the hundreds of cavalry were caught off guard, and more than 40 people were dropped off.

A regular leader saw that the situation was not good and shouted: "Retreat!"

More than fifty surviving Western Xia cavalry turned around and wanted to escape. The Song army drums sounded loudly, and two thousand soldiers surrounded and surrounded more than fifty Western Xia cavalry, stabbed them with dense spears like forests, and the Western Xia cavalry kept screaming and falling off their horses.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the ambush ended, and all the hundred cavalry were killed, and no one was alive. The Song army seized more than 100 war horses, and the war horses seized by Li Yanqing and others actually had 170 war horses. Sun Qing was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth and wiped out 200 life-capturing troops. This may be the biggest record of the Song army in the past two years.

At this time, Li Yanqing walked up to him and said, "Thank you, Sun Zhizhai, for arriving in time, otherwise I will not be able to escape this disaster this time!"

"Where! Where! Protecting Li Joining the Army is our duty, and our poor guards are frightened by Li Joining the Army."

Li Yanqing sighed, "If it weren't for the escort Wang Gui's desperate guard, how could I have escaped the arrest of two hundred cavalrymen? Wang's escort was both wise and brave. I hope Sun Zhizhai will promote and reward him."

Sun Zhizhai didn't know that Li Yanqing knew martial arts skills, and he was also surprised. Wang Gui had only a dozen people, but he actually killed more than a hundred people. This is a great talent! It's worthy of being a martial arts master. It's a pity that he was a lieutenant. He immediately wanted to win over Wang Gui.

Then he said to Wang Gui: "From now on, I will promote you to the team leader! Reward 300 taels of silver."

Wang Gui listened to Li Yanqing's request for credit for him, and his face turned red. He was moved and embarrassed. At this time, Li Yanqing shook his eyes on him. Helplessly, he had to step forward and bow and said, "Young general Xie Zhizhai's kindness reward, but can you allow the young general to share the reward silver to the brothers who fight together?"

Seeing that he treated his subordinates well, Sun Qing looked at him even more admiringly and nodded, "Then you will give it another 200 taels of silver, you can give it to them."

"Thank you for your understanding!"

Wang Gui bowed to Li Yanqing again, "Thank you for joining the army for your kindness!"

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "You have earned so many war horses for Wulong Village, and Zhizhai is still grateful to you!"

Sun Qing was overjoyed, "Did Li Ganjun promise to give us all these horses?"

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "I only have twenty horses to be my subordinates' inspection footwork, and the rest are allocated to Wulongzhai."

It is Li Yanqing's power to allocate military funds. For the sake of his brother's future, how could he not give Sun Qing's favor and face?

Although he wiped out the Xixia ambush, Li Yanqing also suffered heavy losses. The guide was dead and his entourage was half dead. He could only temporarily give up his plan to go to Shenquan Village and return to Wulong Village.

Li Yanqing calmly considered the cause and effect of this matter along the way. He was almost certainly the planner of Zhao Yuan, the director of the military officer. Two of his subordinates were also involved. From the beginning, Zhao Yuan was extremely cold to him because he stole the position he had almost appointed. Although they were in peace in the past few months, it did not mean that Zhao Yuan let him go. At least Li Yanqing knew that Zhao Yuan had accused him of being incompetent in front of Zhong Shidao twice.

But he had no evidence to accuse Zhao Yuan of this, and there was a key link missing, which was how Zhao Yuan colluded with Xixia. Without this key evidence, Zhong Shidao would not believe his accusation. After all, Zhao Yuan had been following Zhong Shidao for more than ten years, while Li Yanqing had only served for a few months.

He must not act irritably in this matter. He needs to let Master Zong make his own choice.

At noon, Li Yanqing arrived at Wulong Village. Yang Huai and Yan Jiuling hurriedly came out, "I heard that the army was ambushed. We were worried that we had not been able to sleep all night!"

Li Yanqing smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your concern. I am lucky. Thanks to Sun Zhizhai's timely rescue, I escaped this disaster by chance."

Yang Huai patted his chest repeatedly, as if he was still scared, "What a blessing! If you join the army, how can we explain it?"

Yan Jiuling could not hide his guilt and lowered his head. Li Yanqing's eyes were as sharp as a torch, and he could see clearly. He suddenly realized that Yan Jiuling might be a breakthrough.

But it was not an opportunity at this time. Li Yanqing said to the two without saying a word: "Carry it out! We will return to Taiyuan tomorrow."

"Are you not going to Shenquan Village and Tongqin Village?" the two asked in unison.

Li Yanqing shook his head, "I lost all the documents, how can I go? Let's talk about it later! Besides, this area is too unsafe. There are spies from Xixia everywhere. I almost died once, but I don't want to meet them again."

"It makes sense to join the army. We also hope to return to Taiyuan as soon as possible. It is so scary here."

At night, in the tavern in Wulong Village, Wang Gui put wine to see Li Yanqing off. Li Yanqing stared at the turbid wine in the cup. The wine was spinning in the cup, and a layer of white foam floated.

Wang Gui said a little embarrassedly: "There is really no good wine in Shanye Village. Their sheep wine is the best."

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "It's already great if you have wine here. You should feel lucky if you drink 100 people in Taiyuan Camp.

"That's true. Everyone says that the border village is very hard. In fact, we think it's good. If you have wine, you can find women. If you want to eat meat, you can go out to hunt, which is a little more dangerous. But if the battle is fought, who is not dangerous? Damn it's a day to live, and tomorrow's things will be useful!"

Li Yanqing suddenly remembered the incident of teasing Wang Gui for secretly going to a brothel. He was flushed at the time and tried his best to explain, but now he has already found a woman. This is an environment that has changed people. Li Yanqing felt that Wang Gui had embarked on his own path in life and did not need to change anything deliberately. In fact, Yue Fei and Tang Huai were the same.

Thinking of this, Li Yanqing drank the wine in the glass and said to Wang Gui: "I won't go to Shenquan Village anymore. If you see Niu Gao, tell him for me, and I'll go see him next time."

Wang Gui nodded, "I will."

After a moment of silence, Wang Gui said again: "Your risk is much greater than that of us. Be careful. The officialdom of the Song Dynasty was very dark. In fact, the Northwest Army was the same. In name, Zhong Shidao was the head coach, but in fact he only controlled part of the power."

"How do you say this?" Li Yanqing asked.

"I also heard Zhizhai say when he was drunk. The Northwest Army has the power of Tong Guan and Gao Qiu. In comparison, the power of Tianshang is the smallest. You will know when you look at the Xixia people who ambushed you this time. Sun Zhizhai told me today that Yelian, who was shot by you, is the number one general of the Capture Army in Xixia. He is very famous in Xixia. He came from Xingqing Prefecture, not a frontier general. Sun Zhizhai was also very surprised. You actually alarmed Xingqing Prefecture, Yanqing. Do you think the water here is very deep?"

Li Yanqing nodded silently. Maybe things are not as simple as he thought.
