In the dim light, a small group of soldiers roared loudly in front of the village gate.

"Open the gate quickly! The front vanguard of Mr. Fan, the general manager of Junzhou, has arrived!"

The soldiers guarding the village gate had long been replaced by the confidant of the second and third village masters. After hearing this, they would go down to the city tower to open the door to greet them.

"Don't move for now." Gu Jiang looked at the crowd who were shouting and scolding in front of the village: "Ask them to hand over the certificate."

The gatekeeper put down a basket, and an officer in charge put a sign in the basket. He picked up the basket and took out the sign. It turned out to be the sign of the military commander of Junzhou, Mongolia. He said happily: "Open the door quickly to welcome General Manager Fan's subordinates!"

The village gate opened, Gu Jiang and his subordinates came out and said happily: "The young people are looking forward to General Fan's troops coming, just like children look forward to their parents..." Before he could finish his words, the iron cone gun hidden in the sleeves of the other officer had already pressed against his throat.

Bai Yijie, who was standing behind Shi Wenhu, raised Fan Yang's hat on his head. Looking at Gu Jiang's at a loss, he never thought it would be so easy to get the city gate. His idea was to make the city gate in front, so he lit a torch in the bushes and called a large army attack. He secretly led fifty people around the cliff behind the village, climbed up from the cliff, and suddenly launched an attack from the unexpected place of the enemy.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jiang was so simple that he saved a lot of tricks.\

He asked, "Which granary did you ask the leader of Wei to sneak attack? How many people have you arranged to ambush?"

Shi Wenhu pushed the iron awl to Gu Jiang's throat for half an inch and shouted: "Speak quickly! Otherwise, you will be killed if you go one inch more!"

Gu Jiang did not dare to be tough and said tremblingly: "It is Shangluo Cang in the south of Shangluo Mountain. Because of the dangerous terrain, it is particularly suitable for ambushing. I don't know how many soldiers and horses General Manager Fan used to ambush, and there are always thousands of people. If the village leader doesn't go, it will be difficult to survive if he goes."

Bai Yijie snorted and said loudly: "You and others who are following the second and third camp masters to rebel. We are actually the vanguard of the Southern Dynasty Zheng Yunming Commander. You must have heard of the commander Daming. Tomorrow, the commander will lead a large army to the Xianren Village. At that time, the rats who are preparing to surrender to the Tartars will find it difficult to survive. Those who know that powerful people will put down their weapons early to avoid you from waiting for death!"

The two camps who defected to the two camps, three camps, and one camp, were originally the ones who were at the two ends of the rat. Now I heard that the Southern Dynasty general Zheng Yunming was going to come in person, but I don’t know whether it was true or not. I wanted to bravely destroy this small group of soldiers in the Southern Dynasty, but the leaders had already fallen into their hands. So the soldiers in the camps abandoned their weapons one after another, and some began to escape while the night was getting darker.

Bai Yijie led his men to the back hall and saw that all four minions guarding Wei Ruolan had been knocked down. Without asking, they knew that they must have been distracted and relaxed because of what happened in the village gate. They were attacked by Wei Ruolan at the opportunity.

"You stay in the village to guard the guard, all the fifty people from the Jing and E army will help you defend." Bai Yijie said to Wei Ruolan: "The reinforcements from the Jing and E army will arrive tomorrow morning."

Wei Ruolan stared at Bai Yijie and asked back, "Then where are you going?"

"I'm going to report the letter to the Master of Wei." Bai Yijie said: "Lend me your horse."

Wei Ruolan frowned and shouted, "If you go, both of you will go together, don't think of leaving me alone!"

It was obvious that this girl left him in Hanyang not long ago, and women were really unreasonable. Bai Yijie shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, I was shot to death by the Tartars together. Finally, I couldn't have a husband and wife. I died in the same place. You go and lead the horse."

He turned to Shi Wenhu again and said, "Shi Zhuangshi is happy to guard the village, and the rescue will arrive in a moment."

Wei Ruolan soon led two horses over, and they rode straight to Shangluo Mountain Road.

Wei Ruolan was worried that her father had fallen into the trap of the Mongolian army at this time, so she kept whipping the horse whip on the back of the horse, wanting to run to her father a moment ago to call the police. But she also took her father a little smaller.

As one of the brave generals under Wanyan Heda, the right military supervisor of the Jin Dynasty, Wei Zugui experienced countless battles in Henan and had long developed an extremely keen sense of smell. When he penetrated more than ten miles into Shangluo Mountain without seeing a single person, he suddenly became suspicious.

"Stop the brigade!" He suddenly shouted loudly: "Send spies to find out the situation ahead again!"

"Master of the village!" Li Yong came over and urged impatiently: "Now speed up the marching speed. We just arrived at the grain camp before dawn. That was the time when the Mongolian army was the most tired. If it was delayed for a while, when the sky was dawn, it would be too late for a large number of real man to arrive."

"It's okay," Wei Zugui was completely unmoved: "Hu Qi was not running fast on the mountain road. Even if it was dawn, we could retreat safely. If the enemy was really doing anything in the grain garrison and we rushed there suddenly, it would be really caught off guard."

Seeing that he was suspicious, Li Yong did not dare to say more, so he had to let Wei Zugui send his personal soldiers as a siege to investigate. The army rested in the mountains and forests on the side of the road. After waiting for half an hour, only one of the spies sent out escaped in a panic with a crossbow arrow on the left arm.

"There are ambushes of the Mongolian army in front of them, several miles long, and I don't know how many people there are! If the villain escapes for a moment, he will not even be able to save his head!" The spy cried, and Wei Zugui believed that he was really fooled.

"Beast!" He slapped his thigh: "Where has that beast Li Yong gone?" Everyone then remembered to look for the second village leader. Li Yong had already sneaked away while Ye An and a few of his followers, and even his usual close subordinates escaped for seven or eight out of ten.

"The Mongols are coming to us across the three sides," said the spy who was exploring the way: "Please make a decision early!"

Wei Zugui gritted his teeth and shouted in a deep voice: "What else can I say? Go into Baiyang Valley to defend!"

Poplar Valley is a dangerous place in Shangluo Mountain. It is a valley that is sandwiched between two mountains. A mountain stream flows through the middle of the valley, and the mountain road is by the mountain stream. There are two poplar trees with tall crowns at the entrance of the valley, so the valley is named.

The right mountain in Baipod Valley was steep and could not accommodate many people. The left mountain was slightly slower and there were woods hidden above. Wei Zugui urged his soldiers to seize Zuoshan and set up a lookout post on the top of the mountain. Soon he found two fast horses from the south rushing to the south.

Looking at the figure coming from afar, Wei Zugui kept complaining. Even if he didn't have to look carefully, he could recognize that he was his precious daughter. The warrior around him was dressed very well. Bai Shusheng, who made his daughter fascinated, also came.

Wei Sheng, who was probing at the foot of the mountain, then his sister and Bai Yijie took them up the mountain.

"Please take all the guards at the foot of the mountain to defend!" Bai Yijie didn't even care about the polite words when he saw Wei Zugui, and talked about his suggestions.

Wei Zugui was stunned. With his usual understanding of Bai Yijie, this scholar's knowledge was more than that.

"There is no water source on the mountain, so I can only rely on the mountain stream to get water, and the army was all covered up the mountain. How can these hundreds of people drink water?"

"As soon as the enemy surrounds, it will cut off the mountain stream," Bai Yijie said: "If you still divide your troops to protect the mountain stream at this time, you can only disperse your troops to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. Everyone will be on the mountain for a full day and a long time, and Zheng Yunming's army will arrive soon."

Wei Zugui looked at Bai Yijie with a slanted eye, wanting to see how much of the scholar's words were true. The officials and civilians of the Southern Dynasty were extremely cowardly, so how could they easily dispatch large troops to fight against the Mongols for a bandit? This really does not fit the image of the Song Dynasty army in his eyes. Although it has been said that a young and capable yamen general was born in the Song army, but I know whether this Zheng official was a fame and fortune who was the name of the prime minister's father to win merits in the local area.

But then I thought that no one would come to the door to the trouble, just to deceive myself.

He ordered the removal of the guards of the mountain stream, and the team built earth and stone walls halfway up the mountain to prepare to fight against the Mongolian army.

This time, there were no real Mongolian troops coming to attack. At this time, it was the important link for the Mongolian expeditionary army to divide the spoils. Who would delay the small matters of hundreds of bandits in the south to get the results? It is rare that there was no real Mongolian soldiers in the encirclement and suppression army. All the three thousand troops were the new affiliated troops taken away by Fan Yongji himself from Junzhou.

Although it was only a new army, these people followed Fan Yongji from Jin to Song, and then from Song to Mongolia, which was also a team trained through fighting and fighting. Their quality was comparable to that of ordinary signing troops. When the army approached the valley, they formed formations. The archers arranged in several rows and slowly approached the foot of the mountain, and began to shoot at the Xianren Village soldiers halfway up the mountain.

Their arrows were shot fast and densely, but there were dense forests on the hillside. The soldiers of the Xianren Village were hiding very well. The random arrows that could not see clearly were almost impossible to achieve any effect.

Wei Ruolan hid behind a tree and whispered to Wei Sheng behind another tree: "Be careful to hide, draw the bow quickly, do you understand?"

Wei Sheng rolled his eyes at his sister, suddenly flashed from behind the tree, and shot an arrow quickly and incompetently at the foot of the mountain. This arrow shot down an officer who was shouting loudly. Fan Yongji's archers were shocked and quickly pointed the arrow at the young general who jumped out to fight back. Wei Sheng looked at the arrow rain on the opposite side, and suddenly leaned over to hide in a lying trunk of a tree, and lightly avoided the wave of arrows.

Taking advantage of the desperate guy attracting the enemy's attention, Wei Ruolan and the archers of Xianren Village began to shoot their bows and fight back.

She raised her bow and dropped, and in an instant, she had already shot three arrows, all of which were hit. The other archers also tried their best to pull the bowstring and shoot the arrows to the opposite side.

Although the archers of Fan Yongji Army suffered casualties caused by the opposing counterattack, they had no intention of retreating, and the shooting frequency increased even faster. The sword infantry and spear infantry caught up from the back row, crossed the archers and began to attack the mountain.
