Chapter 473: Crooked Strike

Some dramas are easy to make people suspicious if they are done too much, and some things will be crooked inadvertently. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

On an April day in the northwest, the wind rises at night, as if the black canopy is swept by the wind.

The scout vanguard of the Xia army reported that the fleeing Song army did not stop at other passes and camps along the road, but fled directly back to Tongyuan County.

In Ye Lituli's view, Song Jun's virtue is really not difficult to understand.

I haven't seen Xia Jun's catapult before, and they can also hold on to a small pass like Qingping Pass for a while, and it can be seen that after the catapult, the Song army of Qingping Pass abandoned, and the passes behind, whether it is Xingping Pass or Hongdezhai, including Suyuan Village, the city walls are similar to Qingping Pass, and the Song Army must feel that there is no meaning to stick, so they have given up all their heads.

The Song army fled all the way back to Tongyuan County, but it saved a lot of strength from the Xia army, so Yeli Tuli was not in a hurry to march, Tongyuan County was well walled, and the Song army would definitely not give up directly like Qingping Pass.

He instructed the secretary of the army to write a letter to Liang Yikui, telling him that the Xia army had swept through the five passes and eleven villages in Huanzhou with a thunderous force, and that it was about to capture Tongyuan County in the near future, and the head of Hou Yang Huairen of Huanxian County would be presented in ten days.

Tongyuan County must be difficult to fight, but Yelituri is confident that after three days of onslaught, coupled with a siege weapon like a catapult, he doesn't believe that the frightened Song army can still hold it.

Then he issued a military order, kill cattle and sheep tonight, and reward him, because he had already seen the great victory in three days, and the wealth of Tongyuan County would be his.

Let Ye Lituri completely let down his guard and no longer suspect that there was something wrong with those broths, in addition to the fact that the dozens of Xia soldiers who had eaten meat at the beginning did not have poisonous hair at night, another important reason was judged from the details of the spies' report.

If the Song army escaped and threw away heavy armor and weapons, this does not necessarily mean that the Song army is not a feint.

Yelituri also fought with the Song army more than ten years ago, and the situation at that time was similar to today's events, and the timid and cowardly Song army saw the might of the Xia army, and immediately collapsed and fled.

The fleeing Song army also lost banners, armor, and weapons, which is very similar to today's situation, except that the spies said that they also picked up copper coins and silver in a pile of rags discarded by the Song army, which is unreasonable.

I've heard of people who ran away with money when they ran away, this is the cost of living after escaping, I've seen too many people who would rather die than give up their money, and I've never seen people who lost their money and didn't go back to pick it up.

In this year, people's thoughts are not lively, save some money, and look at it in the eyes of life is more important than life, even in later generations, I have heard that many houses are on fire and do not run for their lives first, but first go to the boxes and cabinets to find the passbook.

If Tianba's younger brother knew that his temporary failed behavior had fulfilled Yang Huairen's plan to keep the stove, he would definitely have to pester Yang Huairen to make him a few delicious meals, which was called a crooked fight.

The camp of the Xia army immediately became lively, and the dozens of large meat pots left by the Song army were full of the aroma of meat, and the soldiers of the Xia army feasted on it, all praising the deliciousness of these beef and mutton.

The next day, the Xia army marched for a day, and camped ten miles outside Tongyuan County.

At the head of Tongyuan County, Yang Huairen and others looked at the northwest from afar, and after looking at it for a while, a black shadow separated from the darkness in the distance and rushed to the bottom of Tongyuan City.

The Song soldiers at the head of the city dropped a long rope, and the black shadow climbed up with the rope like a monkey.

The man in black walked up to the city in three or five steps, Yang Huairen and others greeted him, and when the man in black tore off the black cloth covering his face and revealed a cute smiling face, this person was Xiao Qi left by Yang Huairen to find out the news.

"Xiao Qi, how is it, have the Xixia people eaten the good things we left behind?"

Xiao Qi nodded with a wicked smile on his face, "Hui Hou Ye, generals, the Xixia people are more greedy than us, at first the old guy in Yelitu was still suspicious, but later he saw that those Xia soldiers who had eaten those boiled meat were fine at night, so he no longer doubted it." ”

"Good!"

Yang Shihu couldn't help but scream, his face was full of smiles with excitement, and he hugged Yang Huairen and said, "Master Hou is really clever, stay in the stove to show goodwill, and it will definitely be a classic in the future." ”

Yang Huairen humbly returned the salute, waved his hand to everyone, and said, "You have won the award, carving insect skills, why worry about it?" ”

I used to think that such words should be on the lips of the strategists in those dramas, but now that Yang Huairen said it, he felt that his image was at least three or five centimeters taller.

Tong Guan asked, "Tomorrow, the Xia army may have to attack Tongyuan County, and the people in the city have already had some chaos.

I don't know when it will take for the 'material' that Hou Ye added to Xia Jun to attack? ”

Yang Huairen touched his chin and calculated, nodded his head lightly and replied, "Normally, those drugged beef and mutton, Xia Jun will eat five or six meals, that is, it will have an attack in about three days."

Counting today, they have eaten at least three meals, but the Xia army has been in a fatigue march for the past two days, and this amount of exercise may accelerate the time for the poison to work.

Tomorrow, the Xia army will definitely have a full meal early, and then launch a fierce attack on Tongyuan County, which will increase the possibility of their poisoning. ”

"Good!"

This time everyone applauded in unison, as if the moment they had been waiting for for a long time was coming.

Song Tingyu, the commander of Tongyuan County, asked, "The people in the city are panicked, and many people want to flee out of the south gate, do you want to appease them?" ”

Among the group of people, Yang Huairen has the highest rank, but he has no real power, Tong Guan and Yang Shihu and other civil and military officials in Huanzhou showed respect to him, half of it was because of his title, and the other half because he did play a great role in the Song and Xia battles in the past few days.

But after all, he didn't understand these things, and when there was a war, some people were afraid of the scourge of war, and it was normal for people to flee out of the city, which was understandable.

It's just that the current situation seems that there should be no danger in Tongyuan County, if they are really let go, it will be difficult to escape, and on the way to escape, it will really be called suffering, but stay in Tongyuan County, and the danger is not great.

For Song Tingyu, the parent official of Tongyuan County, it is necessary to pacify the people, and this is also within his responsibility for logistics support.

The problem is that in addition to ninety percent of the Song people in the city, there are also about one-percent of the Hu merchants, and there will inevitably be Western Xia or Khitan spies here.
