Chapter 349: Western Expedition (24)

Three horns sounded, and the tart Mahe grunted and Gu Yili gathered in front of Zhao Yuanzuo.

The two teams of more than 130 people led by Tart Mahe Gulu and Gu Yili Card did not cross the river, and gathered to Xiao Tart Yong and asked in unison: "Did the king blow the horn and find the traces of Zhao Yuanzuo, the prince of the Song Dynasty!" ”

Tart Mahe asked so, and said with a stern expression: "Where is Zhao Yuanzuo?" Our army is going to attack! ”

Xiao Tzuyong asked Tart Mahe to grunt, and then told the situation of the Sapporo Yimeng's encounter with the Song army in the hard ditch, and said solemnly: "That must be Zhao Yuanzuo's team, we will immediately rush over and capture the Southern Barbarians!" ”

As soon as Xiao Tzuyong's words fell, dozens of crossbow arrows were shot at his head; It turned out to be Liu Min, Zhao Yuanzuo, Jiang Mengjun, Guo Yuquan, and Wang Renqing 5 people were exerting their power.

Liu Min's 5-person combo crossbow shot over in waves and knocked down more than a dozen soldiers around Xiao Tzuyong, and Xiao Tzuyong hurriedly ordered the Tartar soldiers to squat in the reeds and hide.

It turned out that at this time, Liu Min and the five people were standing on the bank of the Xiang River and shooting arrows at the Tartar soldiers, condescendingly; If a Tartar soldier is hit by an arrow, he will surely die.

The Tartar soldiers of the two squads of He Gulu and Gu Yili were shot wildly by the crossbow arrows of Liu Min's five people, and they did not dare to stand up straight and act; One by one, like leprosy dogs with broken backbones, scurrying around the reeds.

Xiao Tzu Yong saw the crossbow arrows flying all over the sky, and his face turned black with anger; At this time, he suddenly remembered Zheng Dalai, so he asked which team the three guides of Tart Mahe Gulu, Sapporo Yimeng, and Gu Yili Card followed.

The three of them, Heguru, Sapporo Imeng, and Koichi Ricka, all said that they had never seen the guide at all.

Only then did Xiao Tzuyong know that Zheng Da had escaped, and he was so angry that his teeth itched, and he said viciously: "Grab this old stick and already have to break the corpse into ten thousand pieces!" ”

Seeing that Xiao Tart's courage was in a hurry, Sapporo Yimeng sighed and said, "There is a saying in Sapporo that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

Xiao Tzuyong stared at the Sapporo Yimeng and said a little angrily: "The Sapporo Yimeng is a person who leads the troops, and he doesn't want to say anything if he wants to say it!" ”

Seeing Xiao Tzuyong say this, Sapporo Yimeng perked up and said: "King, we were deceived by that old man named Zheng Da in the Tianzhuling Horse Farm!" He will not lead us to Fenghe Cang at all, but into the reeds to annihilate the Song army! ”

When Xiao Tzuyong saw Sapporo Yimeng say this, he glared at him and said angrily: "How can you say this? General Sapporo is still more clear! ”

Now, the Sapporo League has also been released; Yang raised his arm and said: "The king still remembers that you said that you were riding a horse or walking, and the old man said that walking is more convenient than riding; We 260 people came on foot! ”

Sapporo Yimeng said impassionedly: "After 260 of us walked down the Tianzhu Ridge, we crossed the stone arch bridge over the Wei River and entered the reeds, and saw two horses and a man and a woman running on the north bank of the Xiang River; The king asked who it was, and the old stick said that the woman was Huyan Jin'er, the granddaughter of the old general Huyan, and the man was the crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo! ”

"That's right! That's what the king asked at the time! Xiao Tzuyong couldn't help but say: "Our plan is to rush to Fenghe Cang to burn the grain and grass of the Song army, but Zhao Yuanzuo is the prince of the Song court, and the value is much more than the grain and grass; We just changed our minds and divided the troops into four ways to encircle and suppress! ”

Sapporo Yimeng sneered and said, "There is nothing wrong with the big king's soldiers dividing into four ways, but where is Zhao Yuanzuo now?" Is it in a hard groove? The end will not be! ”

Sapporo Yimeng said unrelentingly: "The last general has a feeling that we may have fallen into the quagmire set by the Song army and cannot extricate ourselves!" ”

Xiao Tzuyong saw that Sapporo Yimeng was serious, and he didn't know what to say with a squeaky whine in his mouth!

Xiao Tzuyong had a premonition before the Sapporo Islamic League did not say these words, and felt that this time it was not good! He deployed a plan of action to encircle and annihilate Zhao Yuanzuo, but where is Zhao Yuanzuo located!

Xiao Tzuyong couldn't answer the question of the Sapporo League, and he had to ask unreasonably: "How did General Sapporo say such a thing!" ”

"That's because we were deceived by Zheng Da's old man!" The Sapporo Yimeng said without humility or arrogance: "After the king had just deployed his troops in four ways, only 65 people led by the last general crossed the river and went to the north bank through the small wooden bridge on Parrot Island, but they were ambushed by a Song army of unknown origin; More than a dozen brothers were killed on the spot! ”

Xiao Tzuyong's brain was "buzzing", and he stared at Sapporo Yimeng suspiciously: "General Sapporo can analyze the enemy situation like this, and his spirit is commendable!" Could it be that it was Zhao Yuanzuo's troops who ambushed you? ”

"Not like that!" The Sapporo League said bluntly: "Judging from the crossbow arrows fired by that team, there are two or three hundred people; How could Zhao Yuanzuo's guards have two or three hundred! ”

Xiao Tzuyong pondered for a while, and said thoughtfully: "General Sapporo said that the situation is extremely unfavorable to us!" ”

Sapporo Yimeng said excitedly: "Now is not a matter of the situation being unfavorable to us, we may be annihilated by the Song army in the reeds!" ”

When Sapporo Yimeng said this, Xiao Tzuyong was really scared; frowned and said, "Everyone, get an idea, what should we do next?" ”

Tart Mahe muttered: "General Sapporo's words are not unreasonable, the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom is a nation on horseback; If we lose our horses, we will become worms and can only crawl on the ground, if the Song army grasps this weakness; It is not impossible for us to fall! ”

After saying the above words, Tart Mahe said in a heartfelt manner: "Now, we can only give up our previous plan and return to Tianzhu Ridge to ride horses; With the help of horses, it's time to plan for the next step! ”

Xiao Tzu Yong saw that the words of Tart Mach Gollum and Sapporo Yimeng were reasonable, and it was thought that he still had more than 200 soldiers in his hands; Not to be outdone, he said: "We have traveled thousands of miles to rush to Fenghecang, the hinterland of the Southern Dynasties, and we are about to be completed; What a pity to retreat now! ”

Tart Maher grunted: "Those who know the times are Junjie, doesn't the king really realize that we have fallen into a quagmire from which we cannot extricate ourselves!" ”

Xiao Tzuyong said a little dissatisfied: "Don't make a noise about the tart horses, the grass and trees are all soldiers, our 200-degree Tielin Army is not afraid of the southern barbarians of the Song Army; It is not surprising that the ambush soldiers that the Sapporo League team encountered just now may be stragglers, everyone must muster up the courage to capture Prince Song alive and ask for merit and reward in front of the Empress Dowager! ”

He Gulu said bitterly: "The king is still cautious, you must know that we are now in the land of the Song Kingdom!" You see that there are reeds all around, and if the Song army surrounds them from all sides and sets fire to the reeds, none of us will be able to escape......"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the whistle come to report; It is said that there are five people and five horses in the south of the reeds, and it seems to be Zhao Yuanzuo, the prince of the Southern Dynasty.

Xiao Tzuyong hurriedly looked forward, and sure enough, he found that it was Zhao Yuanzuo and Huyan Jin'er (Liu Min), and immediately shouted: "All obey the order, immediately rush out of the reeds and capture Zhao Yuanzuo, the prince of the Song Kingdom!" ”

It turned out that Liu Min, Zhao Yuanzuo, Jiang Mengjun, Guo Yuquan, and Wang Renqing hid in a big tree and shot crossbow arrows for a while, and felt that it would be difficult to introduce Xiao Tzuyong and more than 200 Liao troops into the ambush circle of Chuantanggou; Then he rode over the wooden bridge of Parrot Island and rushed to the main road south of the reeds to provoke Xiao Tart......
