Chapter 215: Sound Strikes West

Hearing Zhao Liang suddenly mention the wolf lord Xiao Tzu Rin, Zheng Luya and Yang Zongbao both felt a little puzzled, Yang Zongbao asked, "Why does Brother Zhao care about this issue?" ”

"yes, where is he at this time, is there any significance?" Zheng Luya was also curious.

Zhao Liang was originally worried that he would not be like the unlucky Hu Yanting, who crashed into the ambush circle of the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom in a daze, and ended miserably, so he kept guessing where Xiao Tzu Rin was.

However, of course, such a cowardly thought could not be said clearly in front of those two people, so he said nonsense: "Oh, this question is definitely meaningful." Didn't you say that you were worried about how the supply of grain and grass and the strength of the war horses would be able to hide from the world, only by figuring out Xiao Tart's movements could you have a chance. On the contrary, Xiao Guanyinnu's 50,000 troops died in Nanle, but there was no need to worry. ”

Zheng Luya has always been a girl who likes to think independently, and she doesn't fully agree with Zhao Liang's words: "It's not appropriate to say that Xiao Guanyin is not a nuance." After all, he besieged the Yongbian army with five times the force, and he could storm Nanle at any time, so we are racing against him now. ”

This sentence reminded Zhao Liang at once, and made him think of another question, and he couldn't help but rejoice: "Hey, let me ask you two, under what circumstances will Xiao Guanyin Nu not attack Nanle Fort easily?" Hear me clearly, what I'm saying is – no. ”

Yang Zongbao didn't understand the meaning for a while, and he couldn't answer it in a deep voice, Xiaoya was clever and transparent, and after a little thought, he said: "For the Khitans, General Yang and they are already the prey at the moment, and they can take it whenever they want, so they don't need to be too anxious." However, it is the most cost-effective to use the Ningbian army as bait to catch more Song Dynasty reinforcements to send them to death. Therefore, as long as there are still people on our side to rescue, they are reluctant to launch a fierce attack on Nanle, unless we make up our minds and ignore General Yang, Xiao Guanyin will let go of his hands and feet and attack the city on a large scale. ”

Zhao Liang smiled: "That's right, I think so too." From this line of thought, the first strategy is about to come out. ”

Zheng Luya smiled slyly: "If my guess is correct, is Master Hou planning to make a noise?" ”

"Only by striking the east and attacking the west can we hide from the sky and cross the sea." Zhao Liang shook his head: "We hurriedly informed the little prince and asked him to play His Majesty, ask the main force of the forbidden army to set up a suspicious formation, put on a posture of desperate to rescue Nanle, and attract the attention of the Liao army with great fanfare." Only in this way will we be able to secretly approach our destination. ”

Yang Zongbao also reacted at this time, and said happily: "Brilliant plan! The forbidden army, especially the Fourth Army, as long as they can make the movement bigger, Xiao Tzu Rin will keep an eye on them, waiting for the opportunity to raid along the road, and Xiao Guanyin Nu will not be in a hurry to attack his father, and sit back and wait for the harvest of reinforcements from the encirclement point. Let's build the plank road in the dark, find a remote path, and go around to Nanlebao from an incredible direction. ”

Zheng Luya instructed the entourage behind him: "Order, the army stops advancing and stands by in place!" Get me the map! In addition, summon the Flying Horse Messenger to come, I have news to send back to Weicheng! ”

The three stopped and dismounted, crouched on the side of the road and studied the map. Yang Zongbao joined the army to fight since he was a child, so he was very familiar with the terrain of Hebei and Henan, and soon pointed out a road on the map: the rapid aid division no longer marched north according to the original plan, but went east along the big river, crossed the river at Fengjin, and then walked out more than 300 miles to the north until the boundary of Guangyu County, turned around and headed west, and arrived at Hutou Mountain near the east of Nanlebao.

"This mountainous area is undulating and densely wooded, which is very suitable for Tibetan soldiers," Yang Zongbao said, "and it is only seven or eight miles away from Nanle, and the surrounding water system ditches are relatively developed, so it can be said that it can be attacked by advancing and retreating to block the enemy, and the army can also be transferred from here." ”

Zhao Liang pondered for a moment and nodded with satisfaction: "Then it's decided." Xiaoya, oh no, Miss Mu, you ask the messenger to hurry back to Weicheng, tell the little prince and General Li Jilong about our plan, and ask them to mobilize the army and give Xiao Tzu Rin's plague god to Lao Tzu to stay away. ”

After setting the marching strategy, the flying horse messenger who delivered the message also set off, Zhao Liang finally felt a little relieved, and when it was convenient to go, he used the small black box of communication equipment to contact Li Erbai.

The Erbai Daoist told Zhao Liang that he had found the traces of Xiao Feng and Duan Yu, and left the four junior disciples to secretly protect them, while he was on his way to Weicheng. Zhao Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly told Erbai not to go to Weicheng, and by the way, he briefly talked about the current situation. After listening to this, Li Erbai asked as if he had a heart in his heart: "Uncle Immortal Elder, do you always want your disciples to go to Nanle first?" ”

Zhao Liang smiled: "Yes, you are really smart, I have this intention." Excuse me, please make a hard run and inform Yang Yanzhao of our plan, so that he can cooperate with the breakthrough operation as much as possible. ”

Li Erbai nodded: "I know, the disciple will do it immediately." In addition, I will see if there is a way to contact the Jianghu rebels on the front line, so that they can also rush to Hutou Mountain in Nanle as soon as possible, so that they can assist Uncle Shi when the time comes. ”

"That dare is the best," Zhao Liang said happily: "Like this kind of tactical rescue, the heroes of the rivers and lakes are estimated to be better than the regular army." If you can recruit them, our chances of success will be greatly increased. ”

After arranging Li Erbai's side, Zhao Liang suddenly felt more confident, and when he came out of the grove, he beckoned Zheng Luya and Yang Zongbao to set off as soon as possible.

After receiving the order of Commander Mu's envoy, the entire rapid aid division immediately turned around, changed its direction from north to east, and ran wildly along the big river, and arrived at Fengjindu in less than two days.

After crossing the river from here, it is equivalent to entering the battlefield of the Song-Liao War, although there are still many cities still under the control of the Song army, but the plains and wilderness can encounter Liao soldiers at any time.

Zhao Liang didn't dare to support the big one, so he suggested that Xiao Ya send several teams of scouts, release a range of miles from afar, and patrol and search around the rapid aid division, so that the army could avoid the Khitan iron cavalry in advance.

Although Zheng Luya has never been on the battlefield, with her talent and intelligence, she also has her own understanding of marching and fighting. She listened to Zhao Liang's reasoning, so she nodded and agreed, and selected two hundred elite soldiers, divided into eight squads, and guarded the side of the entire army in their respective directions.

The speedy aid division crossed the river in batches without any danger and waited for half a day in the forest on the opposite bank, first, to rest and rest their strength, and second, to wait for the supply of baggage and war horses to cross the river. It wasn't until the sun was about to set that all the centaurs finally converged.

Yang Zongbao was anxious to save his father, he couldn't bear to rest for one more night, and repeatedly urged him to set off quickly, Xiaoya was also worried about whether the Song army trapped in Nanle Fort could support it for too long, so he also wanted to leave quickly.

Only Zhao Liang was tired and had a sore back, and he really longed for Meimei to sleep. However, he could not resist the two in the end, so he had to climb on his horse in misery and continue with the army.

Although the quick aid division has not been in the army for a long time, fortunately, they are all elite soldiers from various departments in Gyeonggi, coupled with Xiaoya's rectification and training during this time, on the whole, it is still very good.

After crossing the river in Fengjin, they only rested for a little half a day, followed by a rapid march for three consecutive days and three nights, except for dozens of people who were left behind due to lack of strength, the rest basically gritted their teeth and persevered, together with the ox carts of the grain transport team and horses to supplement the leg strength, the rescue force of more than 3,000 people was in complete formation, and went straight to Hutou Mountain.

Zhao Liang came down all the way, and he almost didn't vomit. Compared to when he first arrived at the Western Weekend New Year to carry out the mission, he no longer wants to ride a horse, and he doesn't ride when he gives money!

I, Nima, what a sin! Zhao Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What kind of blood mold do you think I am doing? Is Yang Yanzhao dead or alive, what is the matter with Laozi? If you are blessed or not, you have to run this hard work. If you want to blame it, blame Xiaoya's girl, she hasn't recovered her memory yet, and she knows to toss me all day long.

Angry, Zhao Liang was also slightly satisfied, that is, until this time, they had not met Xiao Tzurin's evil star.

To tell the truth, compared to dying under the sword of the Khitans, this hard work in front of me is nothing. Especially if he also sat the little wolf master to death, if it fell into the hands of Xiao Tzurin, he would have to be chopped alive.

Yang Zongbao knew the way, and he didn't even use a map, so he led the troops into Hutou Mountain with ease.

As he said, this mountain forest is dense and hidden, and if there is no one to guide it, it is absolutely impossible to walk through it so easily. The whole army chose to settle in a sparse forest area near the direction of Nanlebao, and while unsaddle and unload armor and rest for a while, they sent people to quietly touch the vicinity of the enemy camp to reconnoiter the news of the Liao soldiers.

Looking west from the hill, you can see the outline of Nanle Fort and the tents scattered around it. Looking at the scale of the formation, Zhao Liang and Zheng Luya couldn't help but gasp.

The 50,000 Khitan army surrounded the small fortress, and the earthy yellow tents were like tomb buns, densely packed and could not be seen.

Yang Zongbao has been in battle for a long time, so he is still normal, and he doesn't feel how scary the scene of the enemy army is. He took a closer look and said with a long breath: "Sure enough, as the two expected, Xiao Guanyin Nu was not in a hurry to attack the city at all. ”

Needless to say, Zhao Liang had already seen that there was silence in Nanle Fort, and the besieging army was also relaxed, and both sides looked like they were at peace, so he opened his mouth and said with relief: "Old Yang, you don't have to worry too much. The Yongbyon army is used to fighting tough battles, and this little difficulty in front of them is a small case for your father and his men. As long as we see the right time and help them break out, it is natural that the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly. ”

Yang Zongbao only understood half of these words, but he also knew that Lin'anhou was kind, in order to make his heart feel better, so he nodded again and again: "What Brother Zhao said is that my father has experienced a hundred battles, and he has encountered more than one worse situation than the one in front of him, and he must be calm and unhurried at the moment, far better than me." ”

Zheng Luya watched for a moment and muttered to herself: "How to send the news in?" ”

"Two ways," replied Yang Zongbao, "either send people to break into the fort, or shoot a message on Pegasus on the periphery." ”

Zhao Liang shook his head when he heard this: "I think these two tricks are a bit enough." Even if Xin'er can be sent in, the position of the speed aid division will have to be exposed in advance. When the time comes, whether we will save the Yongbyon Army, or whether the Yongbyon Army will rush out to save us at the risk of death, then I am afraid it will be difficult to say. ”

Yang Zongbao said helplessly: "Brother Zhao, there is no way to do it." If we don't take this risk, the people in the military fort will not be able to get the news in time, let alone cooperate with us, and it will only be a joke to break through. ”

Zheng Luya asked, "Can't you sneak in secret?" ”

"Miss Mu, take a closer look," Yang Zongbao pointed to the distance: "Let's not mention that the Liao army's large camp on all sides is more than two or three hundred steps deep, and there are sentry posts and patrols everywhere during it, and it is impossible to cross the past without knowing it, just looking at the large open area between their camp and Nanle Fort, the line of sight is unobstructed, unless it turns into a bird, how can it not be discovered by the enemy?" ”

Zheng Luya pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "I want to try it myself." ”
