In the night, a fire dragon was winding on the mountain road in Huangzhou, rolling forward.

The terrain of Huangzhou is as mentioned above, which is a plateau mountain that seems to be unbounded. There are many river valleys and valleys in the mountains, and some highlands with relatively slow slopes that can build terraces, which are the places where the Qiang tribes of the vassals and Qiang tribes are gathered. The official roads used to connect with each vassal and Qiang tribes are not good road conditions, but winding through the mountains and highlands. Sometimes you have to climb over some hills with relatively slow slopes. It looks quite close from the map, but it will be exhausted to walk.

Moreover, once you leave Anxiang Pass, you will basically be under the control of the Tubo tribe of Doroba. Above every mountain and in every canyon, there may be ambushes of the Tubo people. A short and fierce battle may break out anytime and anywhere.

The 8,000 imperial guards from Kaifeng Prefecture were actually on such a dangerous and rugged mountain road, advancing at the speed of a marching force, and walking around the stars and moon. In order to be able to fight at any time, all the house slaves and soldiers were wearing iron armor and carrying bows and arrows. Half of them were holding long spears to guard against the cavalry that might appear at any time, and the other half were holding swords and shields, and could be engaged in hand-to-hand combat or attacking the enemies on the hillside at any time.

The knights were also wearing leather armor, wearing horse snails on their backs, carrying buffalo horn bows and feather arrows, and one man and two horses, marching at the forefront of the team.

Gao Qiu was also in the knight's queue. He also put on heavy armor, not carrying a bow and arrow or spear, but just a decorative sword. His real weapon was carried by two Gao family members, and there were 400 house deeds! The properties corresponding to these 400 house deeds are worth at least 1.2 million yuan in Kaifeng Prefecture!

Now, this army of stars and moon-wielding troops, risking the main source of power for the enemy marching that may appear at any time, is undoubtedly these 400 deeds.

Behind Gao Qiu were the house slaves and warriors walking with heavy armor and torches. The men under the torches saw that their favorite deed was on the back of Taiwei Gao, and everyone couldn't help but speed up a little. Moreover, everyone was hoping that the small troops of the Tubo people would appear soon and the heads that grew on the necks of those Tubo people, but one tenth of the deeds! If they could cut the head of a leader, they could directly exchange for the deeds that the people of Kaifeng Prefecture loved the deeds!

Good men in Tubo, please stop sleeping, come out to fight quickly.

These men who were looking forward to the appearance of the vassal soldiers did not know that, just 30 miles away from Anxiang Pass (straight line distance, at least forty or fifty miles around the mountain), the three sons of Doroba, the Tubo tycoon who ruled Huangzhou, were also planning how to cut off the heads of the weak soldiers!

The so-called Bajin City is actually a mountain village built on a mountain.

The Tongka Tubo Kingdom is actually a clerk kingdom, with only four cities, Qingtang City, Zongge City, Miaochuan City and Lijing City, which are a bit like a city. Among them, Qingtang City was a city built by the Tang Dynasty before the Anshi Rebellion. It covers an area of ​​20 miles and has eight city gates. The city is divided into two cities in the east and west, the west city is the royal city, and the east city is a commercial and handicraft area. The famous Qingtang Wart A was found in the east city of Qingtang City.

Bajincheng is a typical mountain village, located on a ridge called Bajinling. The terrain is very steep and there are natural barriers on all sides. The roads up and down the ridges are very narrow, making it difficult for the army to unfold. It can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack to the extreme!

However, this kind of counterfeit village that is easy to defend and difficult to attack often has a fatal disadvantage, which is that it usually only considers "danger" when building it, but ignores "necessities". This is the case in Bajin City. Although it is steep and difficult to overcome, it is not stuck on the main road of the Song army's advance. The Song army can completely pass around the city, and at the same time, a small group of troops block the roads up and down the Bajinling roads, allowing Bajin City to fend for itself.

Although Bajin City has a lot of reserves, those who have been besieged for a year or two have become hungry.

Moreover, the Tubo tycoon in Huangzhong, Doroba, had always had the fantasy of resisting the enemy outside the country. Otherwise, he would not have sent his three sons, Alingjie, Siduomaling and Amon to Bajin City.

Ten days after A Lingjie, Siduomaling and Amon led their troops to Bajin City, an incredible good news spread to Bajin City. The Song Dynasty court did not know what medicine was wrong, so it actually sent a weak imperial guard from Kaifeng Prefecture to give heads to the good men in Tubo!

Although the Huangzhong vassal tribes did not fight with the Kaifeng imperial guards, they also heard from their Xixia allies how fragile the Han imperial guards who grew up in the gentle and prosperous city were.

I heard that their infantry were weak and could not fight for a long time, and they were as timid as chickens. When they went to the battlefield, they knew they were afraid of death!

And their cavalry is even more ridiculous. Most of them don’t know how to ride horses! They always fall from the horses themselves when fighting.

In addition, the imperial guards in Kaifeng City always brought a lot of money to the battlefield! Taking them off, they would seize a lot of copper coins and silk, which was tantamount to making a fortune!

The soldiers and generals of the vassal division, who were originally a little depressed, suddenly became excited and were ready to harvest the heads of the Kaifeng Imperial Army.

A Lingjie, Si Duomaling and A Meng are also known for their good fighting among the Huangzhong vassal tribes! Not only are they brave, but they are also good at using strategies.

On the night when the war was approaching, they gathered together and discussed how to use the plan.

"If you guard the city behind closed doors, with the danger of Bajin City, most of the cunning Han people would not dare to attack, but would siege them from all sides and trap the heroes of the Xifan in the city. So we must find a way to lead the Han people to Bajinling."

The one who was talking was Doroba's heir, the eldest son Alingjie. He was a Tubo man in his thirties. His skin was sunburned red and black, he had a big beard, his eyes were bright, and he was wearing a purple brocade robe. This was a Western Xia official uniform. Doroba and his son were both given official positions in Western Xia, so they often wore purple and scarlet Western Xia official uniforms to show their dignity.

"How difficult is this?" This time, the one who spoke was a young man dressed in a monk. He looked a little similar to A Lingjie, and was his second brother Si Duo Maling.

The Tsongkha Kingdom in Tubo took the best path. The founding king, Ye Siluo, was a monk. Zhao Huaide and Xisheluosa's father Xibawen was also a monk. He also inherited the name of his father Ye Siluo's Buddhist son.

Therefore, it is natural for a few monks in the family of the nobles and nobles of Tsongkha and Tubo. However, if you become a monk, you don’t have to become a monk. You will still marry a wife and have a young monk, and you will not delay leading troops to fight.

"Second brother, just tell me if you have any tricks." A Meng, the younger brother of the three, asked with a smile. He was a young Tubo nobleman who could be described as handsome. Like his two brothers, he had good martial arts skills and a reputation for being brave and good at fighting.

The monk Si Duo Ma Ling smiled and stopped keeping him away. "Just open the city gate and pretend to be unprepared, we will definitely attract the greedy Song people to attack. And we will ambush the city and suddenly fight out after the enemy arrives at the city. In this way, we will definitely win!"

"That's great!" Amon smiled, "Second brother really has a clever plan! Big brother, just do it like this!"

A Lingjie also felt that his monk's younger brother had a good method. He nodded and was about to speak, but there was a burst of rapid footsteps outside the door. Then he heard someone report: "Three young masters, the soldiers of the Song people are approaching Bajinling!"

What?

The three of them were stunned when they heard this.

A Lingjie looked at an elderly housekeeper who walked in, "How is it possible? It's still midnight now!"

"Young Master, the Song people marched overnight and could already see the torches."

"March overnight?" A Lingjie was incredible, "Are they not afraid of ambushing?"

"If I had known, there would have been a soldier under Bajinling!" Amon slapped his thigh.

The monk Si Duo Ma Ling smiled and said, "Dare to march at night, which means that the commander of the Song people underestimated the enemy and was reckless, and would definitely fall into our trap of seducing the enemy!"

"Okay!" A Lingjie slapped his hands, "Send orders, prepare for war, open the city gate!"

...

Of course, choosing a night marching is not a reckless one, but Wang Hou had long sent out the hard probes from the Hezhou vassal division (equivalent to armed reconnaissance cavalry) to search the road between Anxiangguan and Bajinling.

Moreover, Gao Qiu and Wang Bing repeatedly guaranteed that their troops were arduous and good at fighting and were not afraid of night battles. In this way, Wang Hou asked the side generals Xin Shuzhan and An Yongguo to lead 200 vassal cavalry to lead the way, and led Gao Qiu and Wang Bing's 8,000 soldiers to walk away at night, and caught his opponent off guard.

However, Wang Hou did not expect Gao Qiu. Wang Bing could capture Bajincheng. He just ordered the two to drive the Tubo people into Bajincheng and then guard the mountain roads on all sides of Bajincheng. During the Hehuang battle, there were very few such vassal tribes who really fought down, and they usually surrounded them and agreed on conditions. The Tubo people are not as stubborn as the Dangxiang people, and they will not be able to fight the Song army.

But when Gao Qiu and Wang Bing led the 8,000 army to run for most of the night and arrived at the foot of Bajinling Mountain, they encountered an unexpected situation.

Uncle Xin, who was driving the way in front of him, rode his horse to Gao Qiu with excitement: "Master Gao, good news, the vassal division of Ba Jincheng has opened the city gate!"

"Open the city gate?" Gao Qiu was stunned, "Surrender?"

"It's probably because I have to surrender." Xin Shuzhan said, "Master Gao, do you think who is better to accept surrender?"

Of course, the foreign soldiers can’t do such a good thing as surrender!

Gao Qiu turned around and shouted at Wang Bing: "Brother Zhengchen, the foreigners in Ba Jincheng may surrender!"

Wang Bing will become a famous general in the future, but he has never fought a war now. He is just one of the few generals in Kaifeng's generals who can still fight. Along the way, he was ambushed in fear. Now he heard that Ba Jincheng surrendered, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly rode his horse forward and arrived at Gao Qiu's side.

"Brother Shi Yan," Wang Bing smiled, "Those other people are tactful, so it's better for me to take the people to surrender."

Gao Qiu is very good at being a good person. Of course, he will not compete with Wang Bing for merit, and he doesn’t need to compete. He is the official’s confidant!
