Chapter 193: A Strange Thing Sent to Tokyo City
The tribal army of the Usu tribe? β
Brother Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, the Wusu tribe is one of the three major tribes in the Datong Mansion region of the Liao State, a few days ago there were already 5,000 warriors who followed the king of the Southern Courtyard to the Zhending Mansion of the Song Kingdom, and now nearly 3,000 people and horses have been recruited, it seems that the king has really lost a lot of losses there, fortunately the king let his tribal army escort grain and grass, otherwise maybe his own people will also lose a lot in the siege.
Brother Xiao thought like this, and suddenly felt that something was too right.
As the nearly 3,000 cavalry approached, he saw it more and more clearly, and found that these people had blood stains on their clothes, which clearly showed that they had killed many people after several battles recently.
And according to what the other party said, it came from the domestic Wusu Department, how could it be possible to fight?
I heard that there was a Song army on the side of Shuitou City that attacked the small tribe everywhere, and then disappeared, and several large tribes sent a chasing team to suspect that this Song army had drilled into the Taihang Mountain, and sent a lot of scouts to look for it, but the heavy snow closed the mountain and it was never found.
The main thing is that this cavalry is getting closer and closer, but there is no sign of stopping, not to mention, the speed is getting faster and faster, which is clearly the posture of the cavalry charging on the battlefield.
"No, it's the Song people, it's the Song army......"
Brother Xiao had an enlightenment in the lightning and flint, and his face suddenly changed, and he shouted loudly: "Alert, they are Song people, they are Song people!" Hurry up and get on your horse, roll back, and kill them all. β
The other Liao people also noticed it, so at the same time that Brother Xiao shouted, the Liao people quickly mounted their horses, and the cavalry escorting the grain team did not wait in place for defense, but gathered together at a very fast speed and rushed towards the Song people.
Although the Song army outnumbered them by seven or eight hundred, all the Liao soldiers believed that they could defeat this Song army, and even kill all the Song people.
Therefore, after being shocked, the soldiers of the Liao army not only did not panic at all, but smiled one by one, and their hearts were overjoyed.
The Liao State, like the Song State, also discussed military merits by beheading, from Xiao Geda downwards, everyone in the Liao Army here regarded this Song army as a pie falling from the sky, thinking that the Song Army gave them heads and sent military merits.
However, seeing that they were about to rush up, two objects the size of adult heads were suddenly thrown from the Song army, with faint sparks and faint smoke on them.
Although these Liao soldiers didn't know what it was, they instinctively dodged away, and the two objects fell in the middle of the Liao army.
Then there were two loud bangs, flying sand and rocks, the fire was shining, screaming everywhere, and people turned on their backs.
There were not many Liao people killed by the two gunpowder packs, and there were only more than 100 injured people, but the problem was that the explosion at such a close distance made all the war horses fall into extreme panic and scurry around.
In this case, the Liao army's charging formation and posture are naturally gone.
The cavalry did not charge, the war horses lost control again, and even the Liao, who had never experienced such a thing, were blown up.
In short, most of the combat power of this Liao cavalry has been lost at this time, perhaps as long as they are given a short time, they can regain their composure, regain control of the war horse, and their combat power can be restored.
However, Song Jun would not give them time.
Nearly 1,000 Song cavalry, who raised their speed to the best speed for cavalry to charge and kill, directly crashed into the Liao army, and almost in two or three breaths, the Liao army was directly chiseled, and four or five hundred Liao soldiers fell from their horses.
Without waiting for the Liao people to regroup, another thousand Song cavalry rushed in and killed four or five hundred Liao people.
What made the Liao people desperate was that there was a third Song cavalry, although there were more than two hundred fewer than the first two Song cavalry, but the Liao army in this state was a lamb to be slaughtered, and another three or four hundred people screamed and fell off their horses.
After the three Song cavalry teams, there was no Song army, but although the Liao people who were still alive roared again and again, they could only continue to despair, and still did not have time to reorganize the army, because the Song cavalry of 1,000 people had already completed the turn of the horse's head and rushed to kill again.
β¦β¦
The distance of the three Song cavalry was obviously carefully calculated, and the time difference was just right, which did not affect each other's charge, and did not give the Liao people a chance to gather the whole team.
The 2,000 Liao army was almost wiped out in the tragedy, and only more than 50 Liao people fled in embarrassment, and the Liao people who escorted the grain and grass had already fled far away, and Zhang Bin did not let anyone chase them.
In fact, these more than 50 Liao soldiers were also deliberately let go by Zhang Bin, in order to let the news of their grain and grass robbery reach the ears of Xiao Tianxiong in Zhending Mansion as soon as possible.
"Take away all the horses that can still be ridden, bring enough grain, grass and jerky, and then set fire to them all." Zhang Bin, who had personally led the third cavalry team to charge just now, personally killed five Liao people, and the feeling that the cavalry rushed to kill the enemy's head in an instant, and even cut half of his body made his blood boil, and he ordered coldly at this time.
Zhemuqiu agreed, and then led people to quickly bring enough grain and grass, chased the scattered Liao war horses back, and set fire everywhere.
Soon, more than 500 ox carts were stacked with grain and grass burning one after another, and although there was snow on the ground, the winter in the north was the driest, and the cold wind howled in the wilderness, and soon all the grain carts were burned into a sea of fire.
The cattle and horses in the car were frightened, kept neighing, and scurried around, Zhang Bin secretly screamed that it was a pity, and they didn't chase it.

Far away on the plain, the wind is blowing......
That night, preparing for the second day, he went all out to capture the last three military villages of the Zhending Mansion of the Song Kingdom, and then began to lead the troops south without worries, burning and looting the Great Song Dynasty, in order to eliminate the hatred of the Liao State, Xiao Tianxiong, the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao State, saw more than 50 routs who fled back, and heard the news that more than 500 carts of grain and grass were looted and burned by the Song army.
"Bastard!"
"Brother Xiao, this piece of waste."
"With 2,000 men and horses, he was almost killed by the Song army of less than 3,000."
"What a piece of rubbish!" Xiao Tianxiong gritted his teeth angrily.
"King, the rout said that the Song people have terrifying weapons that can explode are the same as the news from Shuitou City, this Song army is the Song army that attacked and destroyed the four small tribes a few days ago." The staff hurriedly reminded the angry Xiao Tianxiong next to him.
"This king wants to kill them, and he will lead this Song army and Song Jiang to capture them alive, and then divide the corpses of the five horses and kill them with a thousand knives." Xiao Tianxiong felt that his whole popularity was about to explode, he never thought that he would be forced to be like this by the Song army of less than 3,000 people, he already knew that because the four small tribes were almost wiped out, His Majesty the Emperor of Shangjing City had already sent reinforcements to Shuitou City, he knew very well that the fertile land would not be under his control afterwards, as soon as he thought of this incident, Xiao Tianxiong hated the Song army to death.
"King, the Song people are doing a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, if they divide their troops to deal with this Song army, I am afraid that they are falling into the Song people's treacherous scheme." The staff frowned and reminded.
"But there is this Song army, and there is a terrifying weapon that will explode, although the grain road will not be completely cut off, but it will inevitably be greatly affected, these days it is snowing heavily, the grain and grass are transported slowly, and now there is not much grain and grass in the camp, and the damned Song people have implemented the policy of clearing the wilderness, and they can't find any grain and grass within two hundred miles, and these more than 50 defeated soldiers have brought the news into the army, it won't take long for the news about the grain road being cut off to spread, and there will be a shortage of grain and grass here, and the army will be in turmoil. If the Song army mobilized enough troops, the consequences would be unimaginable. β
"Great King, the spies of the Nighthawk Hall have sent news from Kaifeng City of the Song Kingdom, the Song Imperial Court has sent a peace mission, and today it has arrived at the Zhending Mansion." One of Xiao Tianxiong's henchmen suddenly came in to report.
Xiao Tianxiong's spirits perked up, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Who is the envoy led by the Song people?" β
The person who came immediately reported: "It is Wen Yanbo, the vice minister of the Song Kingdom, and the governor of the country." β
Xiao Tianxiong and the staff looked at each other, and suddenly a smile appeared on their faces.
The staff preemptively said: "King, don't worry about the problem of grain and grass, Wen Yanbo is afraid of me Daliao to the core, and it is very utilitarian, and in the eyes of the emperor of the Song State and the imperial court, as long as I can wait for the army to retreat, no matter what conditions I agree, it will be a great achievement, so as long as the king hands over the negotiation to me, I have the confidence that Wen Yanbo will obediently send a large amount of grain and grass first, and then we will continue to fight." β
Xiao Tianxiong nodded and said, "That's right, Wen Yanbo also knows about this king, and he will come to my camp today." β

Zhending Mansion City, White Tiger Festival Hall.
Han Jiang and Guo Kui looked at Wen Yanbo in front of them, and their faces were extremely ugly.
"Brother Wen, you might as well wait a few more days, maybe there will be news from the strange soldiers brought by Zhang Bin." Han Jiang said with a gloomy face, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart. As for Guo Kui, who suffered the defeat and made the situation in the Great Song Dynasty worse, he didn't dare to say anything at all.
Wen Yanbo sneered: "Brother Han is joking! The so-called strange soldiers led by Zhang Bin Xiaoer have been missing for many days, and they are on the territory of Liao, even if Zhang Bin and his party are not wiped out, and they are lucky enough to escape back, how can they improve the current situation. β
Han Jiang's face became more and more ugly, and he snorted coldly: "So far, there has never been news of Zhang Bin's defeat, which is good news in itself, if Brother Wen has to go to the Liao camp today, I will never send a soldier to escort him, if Brother Wen is killed by the Liao team, take the head for credit, don't blame the old man." β
Wen Yanbo said sharply: "Han Jiang, you are so courageous, your true appearance is Qincha, you dare to resist the decree." β
Han Jiang did not show weakness, and sneered: "It is true that you are the envoy of the Qin mission, but your errand is only to negotiate with the Liao, and does not include moderation and commanding the army of my Zhending Mansion." β
Wen Yanbo glanced at Han Jiang deeply, the anger on his face gradually disappeared, and he showed a happy expression, and said with a smile: "The old man has long expected that you Han Jiang will deliberately make things difficult, and he has already sent someone to transfer three thousand elite soldiers from the Daimyo's Mansion, which is estimated to have arrived outside the city." β
Han Jiang's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
But at this moment, Han Jiang's personal soldiers suddenly ran in and said happily: "Qi Qi Xianggong, appease the detective and send a secret letter written by Zhang Guanren of the prison army. β
Han Jiang and Guo Kui suddenly perked up, Wen Yanbo's face changed slightly, but after a slight pause, he sneered again: "Zhang Bin Xiao'er is afraid that he is trapped somewhere, so he asked Zhending Mansion for help." β
Han Jiang ignored Wen Yanbo, and after quickly opening the letter and reading it, he was overjoyed in his heart, and glanced at Wen Yanbo, but his face did not show the slightest.
After handing the letter to Guo Kui, Han Jiang lightly ordered: "Come on, go and see if there are 3,000 reinforcements from the Daimyo Mansion outside the city, and immediately take my warrant and place them in the camp. β
Wen Yanbo was stunned for a moment, and shouted loudly: "Han Jiang, you are not crazy, you dare to act like this." β
Han Jiang looked at Wen Yanbo with a sneering expression, and said lightly: "Brother Wen can go to the Liao camp, if I am not mistaken, the Liao people will definitely ask Brother Wen to send a large amount of grain and grass." β
Wen Yanbo was stunned for a moment, glanced at Guo Kui, who was surprised, and shouted: "Guo Kui, give the letter to the original appearance." β
Guo Kui can be said to be the first person in the Great Song Dynasty army today, but he was called by Wen Yanbo, a disgusting thing, and he was extremely angry in his heart, and he wanted to pinch Wen Yanbo to death, but he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, and presented the letter with both hands, and said respectfully: "Please." β
Han Jiang didn't stop him, but just looked at Wen Yanbo with a sneering expression.
After Wen Yanbo read Zhang Bin's letter, his face was uncertain, and finally snorted coldly: "It's just a joke, Zhang Bin actually said that he could block the grain route of the Liao people with less than 3,000 people, and Zhang Bin said that he robbed the grain team escorted by 2,000 cavalry of the Liao people, you can all believe this kind of thing." β
Han Jiang's sarcasm became even stronger when he looked at Wen Yanbo, and said lightly: "Just three days ago, the old man had already sent five hundred elite soldiers to escort a strange thing to the capital, so it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, Your Majesty will believe it after seeing that strange thing." β
"Strange things? Han Jiang, what are you talking nonsense? Wen Yanbo vaguely felt bad, but he didn't know what was going on.
"Wen Yanbo, you just wait here! His Majesty's will to recall will come soon. Well...... Looking at Brother Wen's expression, could it be that he has been looking forward to the annihilation of all the strange soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty in Liao, so that he can sign a treaty of loss of power and humiliation with the Liao people, increase the annual coin, or cede the land of Daibei? β
Han Jiang felt extremely happy when he thought of Wen Yanbo's reaction when he received the will to be recalled, and what he said at this time was also extremely vicious, as long as Wen Yanbo spoke a little inappropriately, Han Jiang would immediately spread what Wen Yanbo said, and he was not afraid that Wen Yanbo would not admit it, because there was a fourth person in the White Tiger Festival Hall, that was an old eunuch, a close attendant of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, who came all the way from Tokyo City with Wen Yanbo.
Originally, Zhao Ji didn't think of sending a eunuch to the Yihe Mission, but Han Qi didn't know why, he suddenly entered the palace the night before the mission left, and gave advice to Zhao Ji, the Son of Heaven, and didn't know what he said, so Zhao Ji sent a very trusted old eunuch to follow Wen Yanbo all the way north, and also acted as a deputy envoy.
It's just that Wen Yanbo is very strong, and the status of the eunuch of the Song State is very low, so along the way, this old eunuch doesn't have much sense of existence.
If you don't talk much, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, everyone knows that this old eunuch is the eyes and ears of the Great Song Emperor, whether it is Wen Yanbo or Han Jiang, even if you are the deputy minister, you don't dare to ignore it in the slightest.
Therefore, Wen Yanbo's face changed several times, and finally smiled and said: "The prime minister naturally also hopes that the strange army led by Zhang Bin can cut off the grain route of the Liao thieves. β
Although Wen Yanbo tried his best to hide it, the old eunuch could easily see the gloom in the depths of his eyes, and the old eunuch's amiable face, in the opening and closing of his eyes, suddenly had a cold light flickering.
