Zheng Luya said with a smile: "I know that the military master is clever, and he will definitely be able to come up with a good way." ”

Zhao Liang shook his head helplessly: "Are you so confident?" Unfortunately, I don't have much confidence in myself. ”

He thought about it carefully, and then said: "I think that for the sake of today, the only way to do this is to take advantage of the terrain here and catch Xiao Tart Rin off guard. If the Liao army is really around here and comes to attack tonight, then they must think that we are defenseless and will most likely make the mistake of underestimating the enemy. Therefore, as long as the layout is properly arranged, the complex mountain and forest terrain will bring great trouble to the Liao army. ”

"But time is running out now, and even if there are enough men, it is impossible to dig trenches and other fortifications before dark." Yang Zongbao looked at the surrounding woodland and said worriedly: "If only there were high walls made of stones." ”

Zhao Liang laughed and said, "Elm head! The Han soldiers and horses only know how to defend the city, and without the stone fort and stone village, they won't even fight? What are so many thick trees around? ”

Yang Zongbao was puzzled: "Huh? What Brother Zhao means, let's go and cut down the trees here and build a wooden village? Well, if you don't say it properly, I'm afraid it won't save much time than building a stone walled city. ”

Zheng Luya deserves to be a smart person, and immediately understood what Zhao Liang meant, and said with a smile: "Young Master Yang, don't be so troublesome." Isn't it the best obstacle to have the brothers cut down the trees and place them in the same place? ”

"Then let's select some sharpshooters," Zhao Liang pointed to the distance: "Let them climb those towering ancient trees and lie in ambush, and condescendingly attack the incoming enemy, which is not much worse than the arrow tower of the city wall." ”

Yang Zongbao reacted and said happily: "Wonderful! Such a huge wooden array is enough to make it difficult for the Khitan cavalry to get close, and if they attack strongly, they will have to suffer a lot. ”

Zheng Luya bowed slightly: "I remember, we still have two truckloads of firearms and oil jars from Jiangnan Perak Hall." Originally, it was intended to be used by Yang Shuai when he broke through, but now he took half of it out and buried it in the periphery of the giant wood array in advance, and when the enemy went deeper, he would set it off to cut off his back road. ”

Yang Zongbao clapped his big hands and said excitedly: "I know, I'll go and arrange it right away." Damn, if the Khitan dog doesn't come, as long as they dare to come, they will first seek some justice for Brother Hu Yanting! ”

When night falls completely, the weather gets even worse. The original small grains of salt have been replaced by goose feathers and heavy snow, which are blown one after another, filling the entire mountain, river and forest.

Zhao Liang was originally a little worried about whether the fire oil firearm would be wet with rain and snow, and its effectiveness would be greatly reduced. Yang Zongbao said that Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall is a time-honored brand in the Central Plains martial arts, and it is rumored that his family's weapons are all added with Samadhi true fire, and he is not afraid of wind and water at all.

Zhao Liang couldn't help but say to himself when he heard this: I don't know if your kid can fool, or if Thunderbolt Hall can fool, or Samadhi is really hot, could it be that it is the shop opened by Taishang Laojun and the Red Boy?

However, since the experienced Major General Yang said that there was no problem with firearms, it should be similar if he thought about it, so Zhao Liang was no longer too worried, and instead focused on the giant wood formation.

At this time, Zheng Luya, who had gone to inspect the deployment of the northern position, happened to come back, and behind her, she was followed by a young man dressed as a Taoist priest. When the little Taoist priest saw Zhao Liang, he immediately bowed down, and shouted respectfully: "Disciple Qiyun, meet Uncle Shizu." ”

When Zhao Liang heard this, he immediately knew that this Qiyun must be a junior disciple of the Dim Sect, so he ordered him to stand up and ask, "Are you sent by Erbai?" ”

"Returning to the ancestor of the master, it was the uncle of the head of the sect who ordered the disciple to come," Qi Yun replied: "More than 300 of our Jianghu rebels are secretly attacking the grain and grass of the Liao army in the area of the Daimyo's Mansion, and after receiving the urgent order of the second white uncle, they rushed to Hutou Mountain overnight to meet the ancestor of the master. ”

"More than 300 martial arts heroes? What about them? Zhao Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

Qi Yun said: "At this time, the righteous army is hiding in a hidden mountain col five miles away, waiting for the dispatch of the master and uncle at any time. On the way here, we found that a large number of soldiers and horses of the Liao State had abnormal behavior, which was afraid that it would be unfavorable to the master and uncle, so the disciple came to report the news. However, just now, along the way, I saw that the soldiers had been prepared and were setting up a heavy ambush, so I immediately stopped worrying. ”

Zhao Liang and the three of them glanced at each other when they heard this, and they all guessed that it might be similar to their previous judgment, so they hurriedly asked for details, and Qi Yun introduced: "At present, there are 20,000 Khitan cavalry secretly approaching Hutou Mountain, and judging from the banner, it should be the most elite leather room army under the command of Xiao Tzulin, the king of the Southern Courtyard of Liao. ”

"It's actually the Leather Room Army!" Yang Zongbao couldn't help but gasp.

Zheng Luya was a little curious: "What?" Is the Leather Room Army very powerful? ”

Yang Zongbao nodded and explained: "Emperor Taizu of the Liao State, Yelu Abaoji, originally formed the elite cavalry unit of the Khitan in order to strengthen the strength of the guards, and later Yelu Deguang of Liao Taizong named this army the Leather Room Army, which means "King Kong". This elite army is divided into the Eagle Army, the Dragon Army, the Phoenix Army, the Tiger Army, the Bear Army, the Iron Pigeon Army, the Falcon Army, etc., with a total of more than 30,000 horsemen. Although the number is small, the combat power is very strong, and it is the main force of the Khitans. ”

Qi Yun added on the side: "A while ago, General Hu Yanting was raided by this leather room army, which led to the annihilation of the entire army. ”

"It's not just Hu Yanting," Yang Zongbao's expression darkened: "Back then, my grandfather was also ambushed and besieged by the leather room army commanded by Xiao Tzu Rin, and fell into endless bitter battles, and finally died at the mouth of the Chenjia Valley. ”

Zhao Liang couldn't help but say: "Damn, isn't this a narrow road for the enemy, and I ran into those bastards again?" ”

Yang Zongbao was silent for a moment, and then bowed his hand to Zheng Luya and Zhao Liang: "Commander, military advisor, Zongbao asks you to leave quickly, let me stay here, and fight to the death with the enemies of the Yang family." ”

"You want me both to be deserters?" Zheng Luya knew that the other party had heard that the leather room army was coming, and she was worried that she would not be able to resist it, so she made this suggestion, but she shook her head and said: "Young Master Yang, this time is different from the past, although we seem to be at a disadvantage, but in fact, we have enough strength to fight. I also agree with Lin Anhou's previous opinion, this time maybe he can really create a miracle and defeat the invincible leather room army. ”

Zhao Liang thought for a moment and asked Qiyun: "Your head uncle Li Erbai, are you here at this moment?" ”

Qi Yun replied: "Uncle Shi arrived two days earlier." After he joined us, he asked his disciples to pay attention to the movements of the Liao army and the whereabouts of your elder, while Uncle Shi went to Nanlebao alone to deliver a letter to General Yang Yanzhao. ”

Zheng Luya asked: "Did the second Bai Dao chief say that he would come out to meet us again in the future, and how would the two sides cooperate in the next breakout battle?" ”

Qi Yun said: "Uncle Shi explained when he left that he has his own secret skills and can keep in touch with his uncle and ancestor, so once he successfully sneaks into the castle, he will not venture out, just wait for the moment of breakthrough." ”

When Zheng Luya and Yang Zongbao heard this, they immediately dispelled their doubts, believing that the Taoist Xuanmen did have the ability to transmit sound for thousands of miles. Zhao Liang didn't wait for them to ask in detail, and hurriedly said: "Since everything is in place, I don't think it's as good as this, if you can successfully repel Xiao Tzu Rin tonight, you can simply answer General Yang and them to break through at the same time." On our side, we fought to the death with the leather room army, diverting the enemy's attention, Qiyun you led the Jianghu rebels to attack Xiao Guanyinnu's camp, while the Yongbian army took advantage of the chaos to break through and kill Hutou Mountain. Then our quick aid division was responsible for breaking off the rear and covering General Yang's southward retreat. ”

Xiaoya thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement: "I think it's feasible." Since we have already exposed our traces, it will be even more disadvantageous to drag it out, so it is better to mess up the situation on the entire battlefield tonight, so that Yang Shuai can win in the chaos. ”

"If you don't have any objections, I'll inform Li Erbai." Zhao Liangshen said mysteriously: "I'll go to the woods over there to pinch the mantra and summon the telepathic thousand-mile sound transmission technique, and a few of you will stay here to protect the Fa." ”

Xiao Ya didn't understand why the Dharma Protector was so far away, but seeing that Yang Zongbao and Qi Yun both honestly agreed, it was inconvenient for her to say anything, so she had to let Zhao Liang swagger into the grove.

After a hot cup of tea, Zhao Liang came out of the forest again and shouted to the three people waiting: "Everything is done, prepare for battle!" ”

In the middle of the night, there was silence among the dense forests of Hutou Mountain, only the snow flakes were still falling.

The camp of the Speedy Aid Division was now completely dark, and only one or two snorts could be heard occasionally. Looking at this place from a distance, anyone would think that the soldiers of the Quick Aid Division had fallen asleep at this moment.

However, the real situation was that the elite soldiers and horses of the Rapid Aid Division, under the leadership of the commander Mu Ling, were quietly hiding in various parts of the forest, quietly staring at the giant wooden array not far in front of them, patiently waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

I don't know how long I waited, but with a faint rustling sound, a large number of black figures finally appeared in the dense forest, silently moving towards the camp from all directions.

Under the faint reflection of the snow on the ground, the soldiers of the Song army gradually saw the general appearance of the other party, the pointed helmet, the chain armor, the animal skin belly belt, the longbow scimitar, the one who came was the invincible elite soldier of the Khitan famous in the world - the leather room army!

The soldiers of the Leather Room Army, which numbered more than 10,000, were all sitting on their horses at this time, calmly advancing forward, and surrounded the camp of the quick aid division in the sparse forest area from the four directions of southeast, south, and northwest. They are hidden in the dense forest, although it is difficult to gallop their horses, but it is also conducive to hiding their whereabouts and approaching quietly.

According to normal judgment, as long as the cavalry reached a place five hundred steps away from the camp, the main general gave an order, they could ride forward and pounce, and in a dozen breaths, they could rush out of the dense forest and step into the dazed and ignorant Song army's position.

One side thought that the other side was still asleep, while the other side was looking forward to the other side quickly entering its trap, and the two armies of Senran held their breath between the sparse forest and the dense forest, looking forward to the coming of the great battle.

"The whole army obeys the order! Kill me-" A hoarse roar suddenly sounded in the forest, and then, tens of thousands of throats shouted the Khitan battle cry at the same time: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

The Liao State Pi Room Army carried the longbow diagonally, drew the scimitar at his waist and raised it high above his head, urged his mount vigorously, suddenly raised the speed of his war horse, and rushed towards the camp of the rapid reinforcement division while roaring angrily.

The whole earth was trampled by the horse's hooves, and the snow on the branches of the trees fell in large balls, and the originally quiet and peaceful Hutou Mountain suddenly turned into a Shura hell. If it weren't for the precautions, this sudden and terrifying movement alone could directly scare Song Jun stupidly.

However, at this moment, the situation is quite the opposite for the speed masters, who have patiently waited all night until they finally have their prey in the trap. Although those "prey" still thought they were "hunters" until now, the cruel reality of the next minute completely reversed their confident thoughts.

The fastest runner and the front-running chamber warrior crashed into the giant wooden array almost unsuspectingly and blindly.

The thick trunks of the trees immediately became a nightmare for war horses. In an instant, in four directions, hundreds of Khitan cavalry were tripped by the giant wooden array and turned over on their backs, and then they were crushed to death or trampled by their own people who rushed up from behind. Screams and howls quickly replaced the majestic rainbow charge battle trumpet, and they rose and fell one after another in the dark forest.
