He hurriedly struck his horse forward, and then said sharply, "Who is here, and why did you cross the border?" Aren't you afraid of causing a dispute between Song and Liao? ”

At this time, Hui Chang suddenly felt funny, these Liao people casually dressed up as horse bandits, but from their speech and demeanor, they knew that they were pretending to be Liao soldiers.

They are just hindered by the Liao Court's prohibition of fighting grass valleys, and they act in secret, for fear of attracting people's eyes and ears, and there is no need to cause trouble together.

He also decided to plan the plan, after all, this group of Liao soldiers was regarded as horse bandits, and all of them were wiped out, and not a single person was left alive.

He opened his mouth and mocked: "There are all kinds of funny things in this world, a group of horse bandits have committed a lot of crimes, they are unspeakable, and they are heinous, but they have the face of a great Liao official army. Aren't you really pretending to be the official army of Da Liao?! ”

At this time, Liu Yuanbiao already felt that the matter had been seen through by the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, so he decided to let these Song troops go and never return, and slaughtered them all.

He has never taken the Song army in his eyes, and this is in the territory of Daliao, and it is a home battle, it is really "the right time, place and people", his side is all occupied, why be afraid?

He immediately laughed, and said arrogantly: "Wu Na Song barbarians, less power of tongue, how much useless, let's see the real chapter under our hands, we will let you Song barbarians go and never return, this is your burial place, and today next year is the sacrifice day you are waiting for." ”

Chong Huichang then said: "Then draw the line, and let the subordinates see the real chapter." ”

When Liu Yuanbiao heard this, he immediately ordered the whole army, and I have to say that the cavalry of Da Liao is also quite well-trained, and at this time, he heard that in his ranks, there was a terrible sound of horns sounding in the sky.

At this time, I saw his cavalry roaring on both wings to meet the attack, and suddenly the shouts and neighing of horses came and went, shocking the heart, and the men and horses were like dragons, like the black tide swept over the ground.

At this time, the troops were not moving, the team was ready to go, they seized the favorable terrain, they loaded their guns, and then aimed, ready to shoot.

At this time, Liu Yuanbiao saw Song Jun's cowering appearance, and his disdain was even more a little, he thought that these Song Jun were scared stupid.

At this time, Chong Huichang measured the distance of the enemy's troops, and he silently recited: "Five hundred steps, four hundred steps... Three hundred and fifty steps. ”

When he was three hundred and fifty paces away from the enemy, he was heard shouting, "Ready...... Shoot! ”

Immediately I heard the sound of gunfire, and the beep crackled non-stop, because the Song army used a three-stage type, which ensured that every soldier could quickly load ammunition, so I saw that the barrel of the musket kept spitting out tongues of fire.

At this time, the cavalry of the Liao State were shot one after another, and a large pool of blood stains were splashed on their bodies, and they suddenly fell off their horses like lightning strikes, and many soldiers were immediately trampled into flesh.

The ownerless horses also scurried around like headless flies, and many of them collided with each other, and the horses fell to the ground, and many of them broke their legs and lay on the ground, neighing and screaming.

At this time, Liu Yuanbiao saw the corpses of his own soldiers and horses, the wreckage and limbs were severed, and his eyes were full of blood and scarlet, and he had fallen into madness.

He rushed halfway, and suddenly felt like a lightning strike in his head, and suddenly felt that his body seemed to float, and his whole body lost strength, and he was plunged into darkness in front of him, and he had been killed by a stray bullet and fell on the spot.

The Liao army saw that the main general was dead, and saw the Song army's side, if there was divine help, the sky would rain divine thunder; and his own side turned on his back and collapsed for thousands of miles; Immediately, the morale was lost, the fighting spirit was completely lost, and they fled one after another.

Chong Huichang hurriedly sent troops to pursue the Liao army, and finally killed the deserters.

The encounter lasted only one stick of incense before the battle ended, and the results were remarkable.

He hurriedly counted the results of the battle and found that after this battle, 700 Liao soldiers were killed, and all of them were cut off; 1,100 war horses, 1,000 loads of grain and grass, and 3 boxes of money and goods were collected.

Two of our soldiers were killed, three were seriously wounded, and fifteen were lightly wounded.

In addition, 800 people of the Great Song Dynasty were saved, because this place was still in the territory of Daliao, in order to prevent accidents, Chong Huichang asked them to flee back to the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible, and gave each person ten yuan and twenty catties of rations.

These Song people were grateful, and after some thanks, they hurriedly fled in the direction of the Great Song Dynasty.

At this time, Chong Huichang ordered the corpses of the Liao army soldiers and horses to be buried on the spot, and it took about half an hour to bury all the corpses.

At this time, the sky was overcast, and the wind was howling, rolling up the barren grass and dust, and scattering in the sky, covering the sky and the sun, making people unable to distinguish the direction.

After a while, the wind and sand stopped, and the Song army of Chong Huichang and his party became sand people, everyone's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were full of sand, and even the teeth were full of sand, and they didn't dare to speak for a while, and as soon as they spoke, they heard a creaking sound in their mouths, and their teeth were sharpened and sore.

Chong Huichang shook the sand on his body at this time, then took off his battle helmet, straightened his hair, and then ordered the squad to return to the camp.

Snowflakes floated in the sky, and then they grew larger, sprinkled all over the mountains.

The battlefield where the fierce battle took place not long ago was also buried in the snow, and it was no longer possible to see the tragic scene of swords and swords, flesh and blood, and no trace of the once rich and pungent bloody breath.

The three geese that were shot and killed, together with the three geese that came to follow, were also buried in the snow, living and dying together, and slowly frozen into a statue carved in ice.

Soon, the heavens and the earth were white, and the filth and ugliness of the world were covered under the snow, and the world was suddenly clean.

The carrier pigeon was still staggering in the snow, only to see that one of its wings was stained with blood and coagulated, and it could not hold on a little, flapping its heavy wings, and did not know how long it could fly.

Chong Huichang and his entourage rushed over, and saw the carrier pigeon flying staggering to his shoulder, and he didn't notice it.

They quickly crossed the border into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and then returned to the barracks, and then he hurried to his uncle's tent.

At this time, it was getting late, and the big tent of Chong Shiheng was already brightly lit, he was reading a book under the lamp at this time, he was concentrating, and suddenly his own soldiers came to report, saying that it was a kind of Huichang who asked to see, and he hurriedly asked people to announce him in.

After a while, Chong Huichang entered the big tent and saw him bow and bow to him.

I heard him say: "Uncle is above, and my nephew is so polite, I have come to ask my uncle for peace and revenge." ”

At this time, Chong Shiheng stepped forward to help him up, and then asked with concern: "Nephew Zhongsheng, why did you lead the team to patrol the customs this time, why did it take so long, did there be an accident halfway?" ”

He was just about to answer, when he suddenly felt cold water left on his face, and hurriedly shook his body, and heard the sound of "poof, poof", as if something had fallen from his side, so he hurriedly checked.

Chong Shiheng also heard the movement, and also looked for it, and from time to time he found the carrier pigeon in the dark shadow, and saw that it was slow and had nowhere to hide.

Chong Huichang hurriedly grabbed it, and then checked it, and he first found that the pigeon was injured and weak; Then he noticed that he had something tied to his feet, so he quickly took it down and checked it.

He saw that it was a thin bamboo tube, sealed with beeswax, presumably to prevent waterproofing, and he took out a dagger from his body to open the bamboo tube. I saw that there was a piece of paper in it, but there was nothing written in it.

He hurriedly handed the paper to his uncle, and after Chong Shiheng took the paper, he thought about it, and finally he tried to bake the paper on the lamp, and saw a few lines of blue words on the paper.

He read: "On October 22, the third year of Tiansheng, the Liao Emperor moved to Nanjing on the grounds that the three princesses of the Liao State were abducted to the Great Song Dynasty, and the palace was divided into 30,000 troops, and the Liao Emperor secretly ordered 30,000 leather room troops in Nanjing to garrison the border of the Liao and Song Dynasty; Prepare to ask for the land of the ten counties in Guannan as a warning. ”

Chong Shiheng was shocked when he read it, and hurriedly called his personal guards and asked him to set off overnight to send the information to Tokyo as soon as possible, and present it to the Privy Council and the official's house.

At this time, Chong Huichang hurriedly reported to him the situation of this patrol, and also reported the Liao army's attack on the grass valley. Then he told about the situation of the fierce battle with the Liao army in order to rescue the captive people of the Great Song Dynasty.

After hearing this, Chong Shiheng said to him: "Zhongsheng, you did a good job, but this time the battle exploits will be suspended for the time being, after all, you have already crossed the border, and you will report it after the limelight is over." ”

He also said: "According to the information that has been transmitted, the Liao army will be three months at most and one month at the least, and it will be ready to move and intend to invade the border, so we should hurry up and deal with it and actively expand our armaments. I heard that the imperial court had trained 6,000 new troops, so I asked the officials to send new troops to meet them and sharpen them. ”

He called in a veterinarian, gave him the dying pigeon, and ordered him to make sure that the pigeon recovered.

He then wrote two letters, which he then handed to Chong Huichang to go to the Tokyo Imperial Military Academy, and one letter to Meng Ming and Yang Wenguang; Then go to the Privy Council and give another letter to Xue Kui, so that he can forward it to the official family and the government hall.
