Zezhou, Gaoping.

This city has become an important place for the storage and transfer of supplies for the Liao army in Yangtou Mountain, and since Geng Chongmei led the army to the north, it has sent military supplies to the front line twice.

Early in the morning, before the morning fog had dissipated, a baggage team composed of dozens of board trucks, escorted by a battalion of Liao troops, slowly headed north. Among them, the people who drove the cattle carts were more than 300 local strong men who were forcibly conscripted.

This time, the transportation was not smooth, and it was attacked before it left the high level. First of all, the strong ants gathered in the nearby villagers and attacked, and then a "Jin army" suddenly appeared from the side to kill, the leading general looked very fierce, and the strong men who were forcibly conscripted for labor also took the opportunity to resist, and soon, a battalion of Liao army was completely annihilated.

The battle ended quickly, and the scene quickly calmed down, after the "Jin army" took a part of the military supplies, all the remaining grain and equipment were divided with the "righteous army", and those people were also like bandits, and under the stability of the "Jin army", dozens of truckloads of supplies were quickly divided.

The general who led the army, naturally Li Wanchao, was ordered to lead the Su Rui battalion, choose another secluded road, sneak into Zezhou, and plot to cut off Geng Chongmei's back road. It was a home battle, and there was no shortage of people in the army who were familiar with the mountains and rivers, and the march was very smooth. After entering Zezhou, he quickly found out the situation in Gaoping, and had time to organize some "righteous troops" to cooperate in the battle.

Riding on a horse, holding the reins, sweeping the mess, Li Wanchao commanded: "The movements are all neat......"

Smelling the smell of blood in the air, Li Wanchao licked his lips, his eyes were cold, and he muttered in his mouth: "It's a pity that they are all Yan soldiers, when will they have the opportunity to kill the real Khitans again!" ”

A small number of "righteous troops" were left to help the war, and the rest of the people were dismissed by Li Wanchao. Turning the horse's head, Li Wanchao stared straight at the south, and ordered a subordinate corporal: "Change into the enemy's military uniform and go to the city!" ”

"Yes!"

"General, what about these captives?" At this time, a junior colonel asked.

The Liao army that escorted the military supplies was less than 300 people, about half of whom were killed, and the rest were captured. Li Wanchao glanced at the prisoners who had been confiscated and guarded. It's all swallows. His brows furrowed, but he didn't hesitate much, waved his hand, and said coldly: "Kill them all." ”

At the order, the Su Rui sergeant under his command immediately waved his butcher knife, and more than 100 captives struggled to make a wave of powerless resistance.

Don't look at Li Wanchao in front of Liu Chengyou, he behaved deeply righteous and decent, but on the battlefield, he was ruthless. The blood was licked on the tip of the knife, and the generals who were killed in the sea of corpses and blood were very hard.

After a simple cleanup, Sergeant Su Rui decisively went south under the leadership of Li Wanchao, leaving only a miserable scene, and the smell of blood in the air was much stronger......

In Gaoping City, there are still hundreds of Yan soldiers guarding it. The deception of the city was thought of by Li Wanchao when he saw that the escorted enemy army was completely annihilated. The effect is very good, the Yan Bing Military Academy guarding the city is not a cautious person, the soldiers under his command put on blood armor, pretending to be a defeated soldier, and easily opened the city gate, and Li Wanchao, who was hidden outside the city, led the army to break in at once.

......

To the north, the frontal battlefield.

"What a mistake! What a mistake! In the military tent of Jiangtai, Geng Chongmei murmured. His voice was almost whimpering, his face was full of exhaustion and paleness, and in the past two days, he seemed to have aged a little more.

The "Jin army" on the opposite side moved very strangely, forced to come, but was obsessed with ramming the camp, with the intention of attacking, but made a defensive posture.

After the temptations of all sizes, to this point, there is still no place to see the sinister intentions of the "Jin Army". Although he is still uncertain what conspiracy Liu Chengyou will play next, he knows that he and his Yan soldiers are already in danger.

Probably in order to echo him, the premonition quickly became a reality, and Geng surnamed Ya hurriedly entered and reported in panic: "Jie Shuai, report from the rear, Gao Ping was attacked?" ”

Hearing his words, Geng Chongmei's old eyebrows locked up at that time, his expression became gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he took a heavy breath: "When did it happen?" Who attacked? How many enemy troops are there? ”

Although Geng Chongmei was shocked on her face, she was not much surprised, but had a sense of understanding, tried her best to keep calm, and asked about the specific situation.

"It should be this morning, it is a Jin army with the banner of 'Liu' and some local Diao people in Zezhou, as for which Hedong soldiers and horses, and how many people there are, I don't know for the time being......" Ya Jiang replied.

"Rubbish!" Suddenly, it broke out, Geng Chongmei pointed to the dusk scene outside and scolded: "This morning's incident, I only came to report it now, the enemy army has gone around behind us, and I don't even know who they are, what do you want?" ”

He was so speechless that he buried his head in shame.

Geng Chongmei's face was twisted together very ugly, clenching his old fists, pondering bitterly. Before he could figure out how to deal with it, another junior colonel broke into the tent and reported nervously: "Jieshuai, Nazezhou Assassin Shi Zhai Lingqi has reversed, he gathered the soldiers and civilians under his rule in Jincheng, killed our people, and announced that the city would be attached to the puppet emperor Liu Zhiyuan......"

If Gao Ping's fall only frightened Geng Chongmei, then Zezhou's anyway made him feel cold all over his body, and a feeling of suffocation hit. After a few rapid breaths, he suddenly felt a little pain in his heart, and muttered, "What a quick movement......"

Gaoping's Jin army obviously took a trail over the mountains, and as for the "shocking change" in Zezhou, it was obvious that there were also hands and feet in Hedong. Assassinating Shi Zhai Lingqi, Geng Chongmei knew that he was a timid person who would never dare to rebel easily, but now he is directly pulling the flag and making trouble!

"Marshal, once Zezhou is lost, our army's back road will be completely cut off." The tooth general seemed to have opened his mind, and said uneasily: "Now that the Hedong army is in front, and there are partial divisions to cover the back, the food and equipment are cut off......"

The more he spoke, the weaker his tone became, and finally pinned all his hopes on the veteran: "You say, what should we do?" ”

"What should I do?" Geng Chongmei is also asking herself.

Since he entered the Khitan, he has been by the side of two generations of Khitan lords, even if he leads the troops to fight. This was the first time to lead the party, and the battle was not fought much, but he was unconsciously forced into such a dangerous and difficult situation, the commander of the Hedong Army on the other side was still a child who had not reached the crown, and Geng Chongmei's heart was really uncomfortable.

No matter how you say it, Geng Chongmei gradually calmed down, analyzed the situation in front of her with a sober mind, thought about her actions in the past few days, and said in a sneering tone: "I hesitate for these few days, it seems that Ben Shuai is going to be decisive tonight!" ”

"Herald!" As soon as the words fell, Geng Chongmei turned around and waved her sleeves, and said to the two generals seriously and decisively.

......

The hour is still early, Liu Chengyou is still reading safely in the tent at night, the title of the book he reads is "Spring and Autumn Outside the Outside of the Dynasty", which is written by the famous Taoist priest Li Zhen in the Tang Dynasty, it is said that Guo Wei loves to read this book, and Liu Chengyou will take it to see. The so-called defending the country with righteousness, using soldiers with odds, controlling chaos with survival, and remembering the success or failure of the virtuous and foolish, this book is still a little interesting.

"Your Highness, there is movement in Liaoying."

Ma Quanyi hurriedly came to report, immediately alerted Liu Chengyou, put down the book, took the helmet and put it on, and beckoned the soldiers to follow Ma Quanyi out of the tent, wanting to go to inspect.

All the way, all the way to ask: "What's the situation?" ”

"The Liao army may be about to escape!" Ma Quanyi said.
