With a loud bang, there was an earth-shattering loud sound, and the huge rock was shaken by the explosive force of gunpowder, and it actually staggered down the mountain, and happened to be in the middle of the Liao army's column, cutting the continuous team in half.

The boulder was menacing, crushing over the two grain carts, rushing up the hillside on the other side, sliding again under its own weight, and finally stopping tremblingly in the middle of the mountain post road, just blocking the way of the brigade of grain carts. Because of the timely evasion, the Liao army and the people were not hit, but the road was narrow, and there were gentle slopes on both sides, although the men and horses passed without hindrance, but the grain cart loaded with two or three thousand catties could not bypass the boulder. The food convoy that was rushing forward with all its might suddenly stopped, and the large group of men and horses crowded in front of the boulder.

"These stupid pigs!"

Yelu Yanjin was anxious and angry, and shouted loudly: "Disperse, disperse, hurry!" He looked up and saw not far away, the Song army was erecting an iron bucket cannon on the mill, and his heart couldn't help but feel a chill, Yelu Yanjin was a veteran general who had been in a hundred battles, and he was very familiar with the power of the iron bucket cannon. He pointed his whip and shouted to the general: "Rush up and fire the arrows, take the fort!" The general agreed, and immediately led a team of five hundred people to rush forward and merge into the men and horses attacking the Song army's artillery fortress. A moment later, only the sound of killing was heard, and the arrows broke through the air accompanied by the sound of firearms, and the two sides had already exchanged hands. There was a mess in the middle of the mountain road, the Khitan cavalry galloped back and forth on horseback, officers at all levels shouted loudly, and teams of soldiers were busy moving around like headless flies. The people with earthy faces squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and some people cautiously raised their heads, looking at the red flag of the Song army not far away, with a look of expectation flashing in their eyes, and then lowered their heads again.

At this time, the giant rock rushed back in front of him, and said angrily: "The road ahead is blocked by the enemy!" ”

"Ambushed!" Yelu Yanjin had an ominous premonition in his heart, looked back at the chaotic valley, hesitated for a moment, his eyes were cold, he stretched out his hand to let the herald come over, and commanded in a low voice: "Call all the people in the headquarters and rush out with me." "Seeing that the enemy army has been planning for a long time, instead of being trapped with these Southern Dynasties, it is better to cut off their tails to survive and protect the most precious Khitans. The herald immediately understood, quickly beat his horse, and informed the Khitan cavalry scattered everywhere to concentrate in front.

In front of the boulder, more than 2,000 Khitan cavalry and signing troops looked at the 3,000 Song troops who had finished the formation in horror, with 2,000 gunners in the front row, 500 swordsmen and axes in the back row, and 500 cavalry on the flanks. Regardless of the noise of artillery and shouting in the valley, this Song army just waited quietly, hunting and hunting in front of the battle, and the fire guns had ammunition in their hands, set up their sticks, and faced the exit of the valley.

"Fuck, this is the centaur?"

On the verge of a desperate situation, it inspired Liu Ling's ruthlessness to the death, and he had already prepared to gather nearly a thousand elite henchmen and rushed to the front army, ready to fight with this ambush of soldiers and horses. However, as if responding to a false story, Liu Ling still sent a loud voice to shout!

"Listen to the people who are blocking the road in front, the imperial court borrowed the Liao army to quell the chaos, and we are waiting to send food to the Shuzhou battalion, quickly get out of the way, otherwise, as soon as the soldiers arrive, they will call you and others to turn into powder, and the cottage will be flattened, and men, women, children, and chickens and dogs will not be left!" The words of the official army to warn the bandits seemed to be a little lacking in confidence at this time.

The Song army was still quiet, and no one came out to answer, and there was a haughty contempt in the silence. At this time, on the right side of the hill "Dede" sounded a sound of horses' hooves, all the troops heard the sound and looked to the side, only to see a rider running down the mountain, although it was only a ride, but one hand held a banner of Zhang Xu Gao, the momentum was like a dragon. The originally scattered Liao army was suddenly even more unbearable.

Lu Mingyu's face was as cold as ice, his left hand rode his horse, and his right hand held the banner of the Baoyi Left Army, and he came down all the way from the mountain to the middle of the main formation that blocked the Liao army. The iron hooves fell and almost dug out four pits in the ground, and Lu Mingyu took advantage of the situation to stick the military flag on the ground and firmly planted it on the ground. The banner rolls up, and the hunting sound is blown by the mountain wind.

"The left army of the Great Song Baoyi is here, and if you don't surrender again, you will take the dog's life today!"

His hand was clean and neat, and the troops behind him immediately cheered loudly! Hearing that it was the descendants of the Baoyi Army, the Liao Army suddenly caused a commotion among the troops. Liu Ling's face suddenly became gloomy, and the roaring cannon sound in his ears became more and more harsh.

............

In the early morning of the next day, the news was transmitted back to Shuzhou, and Zhao Xingde immediately communicated with the privy envoy Yue Fei.

Yue Fei's face sank like water, flipping the fold of the victory, and he was silent.

Zhao Xingde sat in the guest seat, his eyes swept over the tent, all the generals of the Zhenguo Army were in their own camps, fighting against the Liao army in Shuzhou, only the Beiwei battalion was under the command of Zhang Xian on the side, seeing Zhao Xingde's opinion, Zhang Xian nodded kindly. After the Battle of Fangzhou, the Baoyi Army presented more than 3,000 horses to the Zhenguo Army. Yue Fei was originally good at riding and shooting horse pistols, and Zhang Xian was not a mediocre hand, so the Zhenguo Army changed the Beiwei battalion into cavalry, and selected the strongest men in the army to train the heavy armored cavalry.

In terms of recruiting soldiers and horses, the Baoyi Army almost did not refuse to come, and the Zhenguo Army has always been expensive but not expensive. Most of the soldiers of the Baoyi Army were from the Jingxiang clan, the Zhenguo Army was mainly from the north, and the Henghai Navy under Han Shizhong was mainly from Jingdong. Therefore, it was much easier for the Zhenguo army to select cavalry than the Baoyi army, and soon established a cavalry force of about 2,000 cavalry. According to the imperial court system, if you talk about the number of commanders, Zhang Xian is already the commander of the first army at this time. However, because the saint was taken into captivity, Chen Dong, Yue Fei and other lonely ministers did not want to give their names lightly in order to make the truth clear, so the Beiwei battalion was not expanded into an army, but it was divided into the first battalion to the fifth battalion. Zhang Xian's official rank is still under the control of the camp and the false capital, and the actual grade has not been improved, but he refers to the commander of the first army.

Yue Fei slowly read the report of the victory. In this battle, the Baoyi Left Army ambushed extremely successfully, after defeating the Liao army's grain team, it took advantage of the victory to capture Chaoxian County, Wuwei two post station granaries, defeated the Liao army before and after nearly 7,000 people, and captured more than 2,000 horses. The Baoyi Left Army suffered more than 1,000 casualties of its own, and the rest retreated as a whole, seized 200,000 catties of military rations, and also loaded them back on ships. Among them, the Baoyi Left Army's tooth soldiers threw the thunderer battalion hard to shake the Khitan cavalry who were eager to break through, the thunderer was close to the enemy horse, threw the earth-shaking thunder to kill the enemy horse, alarmed the horses, and then used the fire axe to fight the enemy hand-to-hand, killing the enemy was not counted, and his own casualties were extremely heavy. The biggest casualty of the Baoyi Left Army came from the Khitan cavalry who prevented this group of desperate breakthroughs. If it weren't for the almost total annihilation of these 2,000 Khitan cavalry, the victory would have been greatly reduced.

Yue Fei's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, and he said slowly: "I see that the left army and tooth barracks under General Zhao are also soldiers and horses who can fight tough battles." ”

"With the praise of the Privy Councillor, the officers and men of the Left Army are all honored." Zhao Xingde breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Mingyu was angry, like this, the words that followed would be easy to say, he smiled and said, "But a battalion head like the Ya Military Camp is really rare in the Baoyi Army." Our army was made by gathering the heroes of Jingxiang rivers and lakes. Intercepting, ambushing, detecting information, harassing grain routes, etc., is the head of our army. But I have not been in the army for a long time, the training is insufficient, if it is scattered and self-fighting, then the puppet has the will to serve the country, if and the Liao army face on, and then fight, it will inevitably expose the shortcomings of our army. Therefore, as mentioned earlier, the matter of the Shuzhou frontier camp stationed in the city is still expected to be considered by the privy envoy again. ”

The Zhenguo army confronted the Liao army in Shuzhou. Although the mountains and rivers are dangerous, and the camp of the confrontation between the two armies is not long, the Zhenguo army is still a little difficult to defend with the strength of one army. Therefore, when the Baoyi Army escorted grain and grass and brought a large number of state and county volunteer barracks to Shuzhou. The Zhenguo Army then asked the Baoyi Army to take over part of the forward camps. Wang Gui even suggested to Yue Fei that the forward camp should be fully handed over to the Baoyi army to defend, and the Zhenguo army could take a break from the attrition of the fierce battle, recuperate for a period of time, and wait for the fighter plane to be suitable, and then attack each other to annihilate the enemy army. Yue Fei also thought that this proposal was good at that time, and proposed it to discuss with Zhao Xingde. The general in the middle of the Baoyi Army was suddenly unwilling, Luo Xianshi and Lu Mingyu were the most opposed, they were all mixed up in the rivers and lakes, saying that the consumption of the enemy was a chore and handed over to the Baoyi Army, and the Zhenguo Army was recuperating and waiting for the right time to come out and pick peaches. In contrast, the Heng Navy did even more desperately, in addition to Han Shizhong sent envoys to discuss with the Zhenguo and Baoyi armies, most of the people in the army stayed on big ships, and they did not go ashore at all, and they did not join forces with the Zhenguo Army when they went ashore.

When the Baoyi army was deliberating, the generals said all the ugly things. Zhao Xingde couldn't resist this group of subordinates, and he also felt that the quality of the Baoyi Army could not be compared with the Zhenguo Army, but he couldn't stay behind the Zhenguo Army and do nothing. Therefore, while delaying and not receiving the forward camp, Zhao Xingde took the initiative to ask for help, and sent the left and right armies of Baoyi to attack in turn, taking advantage of their familiarity with the rivers and lakes to constantly harass the grain routes of the Liao army, hoping to obtain some results and let the army have a step. Just when the Zhenguo Army repeatedly urged the Baoyi Army to take over the camp, and even Yue Fei couldn't bear it, Lu Mingyu's great victory could be said to have come at the right time.

Sure enough, after Yue Fei pondered for a moment, he nodded and said, "General Zhao's words are reasonable. Yue Fei was silent for a while, and said to Zhao Xingde: "Our army has been holding on to the Liao thieves for dozens of days, and the soldiers are not allowed to rest, and they are extremely tired. Just now I got the strategy of the Ministry of War, and it seems that I want to hold on to the Liao army for a long time. In a consultative tone, he said, "Since there are also some battalions in the Baoyi Army that are fighting tough battles, can we take over a small part of the camps, so that our army can draw out some of its troops, take turns to rest, and recuperate our strength, so as to wait for a big attack on the enemy in the coming day." ”

His eyes were clear, and he didn't seem to have any other thoughts, but it made Zhao Xingde a little ashamed, Zhao Xingde hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "The soldiers are the soldiers of the imperial court, and the Baoyi Army will follow the orders of the privy envoy." Yue Fei smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to take the map, and pointed out a few camps, about the place where the white camp was originally defended, indeed as he said, it was only a small section of the defense line, and it was not difficult for the Baoyi army to take over, and the Zhenguo army planned to break the enemy in the future, so it could draw out a part of its forces and take turns to rest.
