Chapter 16: The Almost Forgotten Sidelines

Ge Qiuyan was very excited that she could go to the battlefield, and she wore her own women's armor and ran around her husband back and forth.

"Husband, your cloak is crooked, and the concubine will put it on you!"

"Husband, you should wear your mask, the wind in the wasteland hurts your face the most."

"Husband, do you want to drink water?"

"Husband......

Yun Zheng looked at the soldiers around him who were already laughing on their backs, and said helplessly to his wife: "If you stay behind me obediently, you can help me, and ah, do you want to remove the pheasant's tail hair on your head?" The Liao people have no less than a hundred ways to kill people who are too conspicuous on the battlefield. ”

Ge Qiuyan said disappreliantly: "This armor was specially made by Mrs. Zhang, a famous armor maker, and the armor worn by several ladies of the Yang family was made by Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang also said that women are on the battlefield, and their appearance is also a weapon." ”

Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Appearance is also a weapon? How come I don't know, Di Qing is too handsome, she needs to cover her face with a ghost mask, your husband and I look too delicate, and you can only cover your face, a beauty like you goes to the battlefield, it will only make people think about capturing you alive, can Mrs. Zhang's armor resist crossbow arrows or can it withstand the bombardment of heavy weapons? A group of women who have never been to the battlefield think about what the battlefield is.

This set of clothes is only suitable for showing off on Daughter's Day, it is better to wear the armor of the soldiers on the battlefield, obedient, I will change it after camping tonight, I don't want my daughter to have no mother at a young age. ”

Ge Qiuyan pouted and refused to make a sound. It seems that she is not very willing, this woman will always look like she is obedient when she is at home, as long as Lu Qingqing is not around to watch. She will become a sperm, the reason why Yun Zheng is uncomfortable riding on the horse is because last night was too ridiculous, Yun Zheng pounded his waist, he found that he was indeed not a qualified commander, Ge Qiuyan just snorted a few times, and his principles and military discipline were immediately thrown out of the clouds.

The army secretly bypassed the heavily guarded Shenmu City. Taking advantage of the dry season in late spring, he quietly waded through the Zhujia River and the Xianchuan River. Quietly came to the bank of the Biguan River, the whole army disappeared in the inconspicuous Huangjiazhai, from the moment the army entered Huangjiazhai, only allowed to enter here. Not allowed out.

The vigorous Hai Dongqing was released two, and the six Hai Dongqing flew too conspicuously in the sky, Guo Hengchuan knew to avoid the eyes and ears of the eagle before launching a surprise attack, Yun Zheng felt that Xiao Huo'er should also know.

Huangjiazhai is only 30 miles away from the pass, and there are 300 Song troops stationed on weekdays, which is a very inconspicuous small village, after more than 20,000 troops are stuffed in, the whole military village is stuffed to the brim, in order not to expose the military aircraft. Yun Zheng ordered that only the stoves of 300 people were allowed to be burned in the military village, and only boiling water was allowed on the stoves, and the army lived on dry food during this time.

Xiaolin took Bo Bo and two Hai Dongqing to the side pass. In any case, there must be an extremely secret way of communication between Lang Tan and the army, Yun Zheng believed that in the rest of the time, all the army had to do was to lurk and wait for the moment when the veterans of Xiao Huo'er's division were tired.

Lang Tan has been very bored these days, since he was stationed in the side pass. It's so calm and suffocating here, and many times he has an illusion. Is he going to decay with this small city?

Today finally something new appeared, there were two more eagles in the sky, these two eagles seemed to be very interested in the partial pass, and always hovered around the partial pass.

The partial pass is his own territory, from the moment he stepped into the partial pass, Lang Tan thought so, he couldn't wait to engrave his name on all the stones in the partial pass. I can't wait to put my own personal seal on the butt of the remote rat.

The two eagles flew over for no reason, and he got an eight-ox crossbow to get the eagle down, and then he saw the angry Bo Bo and Xiao Lin go up the city wall.

"Why are you here, I heard that you are now in charge of the marshal's army, and the work of the scouts has long been handed over to the tigers, leopards, and a group of children, why did you start working as messengers?"

In a fit of rage, he twisted the adjusted eight-bull crossbow to the side, stalking his neck and not paying attention to this man who liked to kill eagles.

"Those two eagles, they belong to our family, the handsome baby is like his own eyeballs, in case you shoot down with a bull crossbow, it is estimated that the handsome will shoot you with a bull crossbow."

"Our family? Okay, baby, can you let it come down, you can prepare fresh lamb for him! I don't eat it, I have to feed it! ”

Bo Bo listened to Lang Tan say this, his heart was a little more comfortable, and with a bone whistle, the two eagles swooped down like arrows, landing on Bo Bo's shoulders, and the four steel-like claws tightly buckled Bo Bo's armor, and rubbed his head against Bo Bo's cheeks affectionately, very intimately.

Xiaolin saw Lang Tan's outstretched claws and said coldly: "The eagle only recognizes Bo, be careful that it picks out your eyeballs." ”

Lang Tan laughed dryly and said affectionately: "Little brother, this is going to be permanently closed by me?" After speaking, he shouted to his soldiers: "Come on, make room for Lao Tzu, boil hot water, boil noodles, add two more eggs, Lao Tzu will entertain distinguished guests today!" ”

Xiao Lin saw that Bo Bo was led down by his own soldiers, and only himself and Lang Tan were left on the city wall, so he whispered: "Xiao Huo'er's 50,000 troops are rushing towards you, and it is estimated that they will arrive in three days." ”

"I'm angry about this, I read yesterday's military report, grandma's, look down on my old wolf, Ningwuguan has an army of 100,000, is it said that Lao Tzu is not as good as Lao Jiang?" Lang Tan was a little indignant.

Xiaolin said with a smile: "In fact, the strength of the army is average, these 50,000 people are all Liao people's noble soldiers, I heard that from the Xiao family, it is a real army that can conquer and fight, and it is also Xiao Huo'er's biggest reliance in Xijing Road, whether it is equipment or combat power, it is not comparable to the capital army, the reason why Xiao Huo'er chose to attack the farthest away pass from Yanmen Pass is that it is too late to rescue your commander!" ”

Lang Tan smiled: "You are sneaky here, which means that the handsome is nearby?" ”

"Huangjiazhai! The intention of the marshal is to kill Xiao Huo'er first, and then return to the army Yanmen Pass, relying on the strong city pass to break the enemy army, if Xiao Huo'er is killed, the Liao army in Xijing Road will fight separately, and at that time we will be able to recover the four military states on Xijing Road, so as to form a flanking attack on the Liao army in Hejian Province. Prepare for the next step of recovering the entire Yanyun. ”

"Understood, the task of the defenders of the partial pass should be to drag Xiao Huo'er as much as possible, consume his troops, and when the veterans of his division are tired, the main army of the commander will take advantage of the situation to cover up and completely defeat Xiao Huo'er?"

Xiaolin nodded, clenched the fists of his hands into a rattle, and said with a long breath: "Lao Tzu used to fight with the Liao people, and I couldn't do anything about it when I saw the Liao people fighting in the grass valley everywhere, and now, Lao Tzu has finally come back with the army, but I want to see if the former brutal enemy can still be as brutal as before." ”

Lang Tan laughed and said, "The bias will naturally make Xiao Huo'er bleed clean!" ”

"Dashuai sent Bo Bo this child over, just to let you seize the opportunity, now these two Hai Dongqing have been able to take on the task of delivering letters, once you can't bear it, you must tell SΓΉ Dashuai, don't resist hard, as long as the enemy is tired, it is enough to drag the morale of the enemy, you don't have to take the lives of your brothers to fill in, Dashuai wants you to remember that our target is Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, not Xiao Huo'er, even if such a person escapes, it will not help the overall situation."

Lang Tan lay on the battlements of the city wall and looked down, patted the battlements and said: "The requirements are higher, I want not to die, and I want to have results, where are those good things, since this time it is the tribal army of the Liao State, it means that the combat effectiveness is not bad, and the battle between the nobles of the Liao State has never subsided, so it is no secret that the combat effectiveness of the tribal army exceeds that of the leather room army." ”

"Then do your own thing, after the matter is explained, let's go to dinner, I have to rush back to Huangjiazhai, and then hide in the village and wait for your news."

Xiaolin pulled Lang Tan down the city wall, planning to find a place to eat in the pass, which is the throat of the traffic between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State anyway, and there should be some food shops on the market in the pass.

After walking around, Xiaolin realized that something was wrong, the side pass seemed to have become a military city, although the market was not big, but there was no one, the street was empty, and the shops on both sides were also closed, even if there were restaurants, none of them were opening their doors to welcome customers.

"The common people have a very sensitive sense of smell, they may have experienced more battles than me, yesterday I ordered to prepare for the battle, began to hoard supplies on the city walls, the people in the city have almost run, even if some people did not leave, they also hid in their cellars, planning to wait for the war to stop before coming out, they are used to this kind of life."

"Isn't there anyone standing up to help you defend the city? The city is broken, and it's useless for them to hide in the cellar? ”

Lang Tan smiled bitterly: "I'm not Li Dongchu, he has been operating in Ningwuguan for more than ten years, and only then has he won some people's hearts, I just arrived, the people here don't believe in me at all, and they don't believe that I can hold the city, you may not know, the lonely city of Biguan has actually been broken by the Liao army no less than six times, and every time it is broken, the people in the city are unlucky."

The previous general spoke better than he sang, collected money from the people, and said that he wanted to guard the city pass, but as a result, when the Liao people came, he ran faster than the people.

Fortunately, the Liao people did not stay in the border pass, but left after looting, the general who guarded the city waited for the Liao people to leave, and then came back with his deserters to continue to be his official, the court did not know about the side pass, and thought that there was no war at the border pass, hehe, in this case, I had no face to ask the people to help me defend the city. ”

"Such a general should be killed!" Xiaolin gritted his teeth and said.

"I just wanted to do this, but when I came to the side pass to take over, the guard had already run away, and I couldn't find it all over the side pass, so I asked the marshal to check his official position, and found that this guy was not an official, and he ran away. Hmph, that is, he runs fast, otherwise Lao Tzu will definitely use him to light a sky lantern. ”

After listening to Lang Tan's words, Xiao Lin stopped, looked at the empty street market and whispered: "This person is a big hidden danger, and he must be found, otherwise once he defects to the enemy, there will not be many secrets to speak of." (To be continued)
