Huangfeng Village, when the sunlight completely sprinkled the entire yellow mud into the city wall platform, the soldiers guarding the village from the city head vigilantly looked in the direction of the northern Liao State for a while, and saw that there was no shadow of the Liao army, so they went down the city wall and opened the city gate.

There is no moat in front of the gate of the border cottage, let alone a suspension bridge, but the gate is made of hardwood a full three feet thick, which is unusually weighing and strong.

It took five soldiers to push open the gates of the city with all their might, and then they moved away from the equally heavy repulsion horses.

On weekdays, early in the morning, there will be people from several nearby villages pushing carts, carrying chicken coops, or carrying a few loads of vegetables to the military village to exchange some money and food needed for life, but a few days ago, there was a Liao people pretending to be horse thieves to rob the border villages and towns, and the Liao scouts are also haunting the wilderness, so the people dare not run around, for fear of encountering the Liao people.

Therefore, Huangfeng Village has also been closed in the past few days, but it is open today, but it is because the newly appointed Zhending Mansion Supervisor will soon come to comfort everyone.

I heard that I also brought a large box of money, so everyone's interest was very high, and Liu Depeng, the commander of the military capital stationed in Huangfeng Village, instructed the people below to clean the gate of the village and prepare to welcome the inspection of the prison army.

However, at this moment, there were soldiers in the village who shouted loudly: "There is wolf smoke in the Bali beacon fire." ”

At the same time as the soldiers gave warnings, the rapid warning horn in the village also sounded, and the faces of several Song soldiers who were cleaning at the gate of the village changed greatly, and without saying a word, they dropped their tools and closed the city gate together.

Almost as soon as they closed the gates, a cloud of dust flew a few miles to the north, followed by the sound of cavalry galloping in the distance.

In the distance, there was a wolf smoke that rose straight up, which was the wolf smoke from the beacon tower on the border with the Liao State, but soon the wolf smoke dissipated, which means that the beacon tower has been lost, the wolf smoke has been extinguished by the Liao, and most of the twenty Song soldiers stationed there have been poisoned by the Liao.

The cavalry of the Liao army came very quickly, but the number was not much, only more than a thousand people, but it was far away like a torrent swept over the wilderness, along the way people shouted horses neighing, hooves sounded like thunder, roaring deafeningly, and the momentum was terrifying.

The Huangfengzhai garrison has only two commanders, a thousand people, and most of them are infantry, if it is a field battle, the same strength is not the opponent of the Liao army at all, but if it is just to defend the city, it is different, if the Liao army does not have more than five times the strength, do not want to capture the Song soldiers in a day or two to defend the military village.

The Liao army that came obviously understood this, so they didn't think about attacking the city at all, leaving more than 200 Liao troops hanging around Huangfeng Village, staring at the defenders of Huangfeng Village, and the others directly pounced on several nearby villages.

"Damn the thief." The generals of Huangfeng Zhai Commander Liu Depeng had a frosty face, standing at the head of the city and scolding angrily, but he did not have the idea of leading troops out of the city to fight with the Liao.

On the one hand, it is true that the Song army has no confidence in the field battle when the Liao army does not have more than two or three times the strength, on the other hand, it is because the duty of this thousand defenders is to protect the military village, if it is out of the city to fight, whether it can kill these two hundred Liao cavalry, not to mention, I am afraid that in the end there will be a lot of casualties, and during this period, if the Liao people who were scattered before were killed, they were entangled by these two hundred Liao cavalry, and the Liao army took the opportunity to seize Huangfeng Village, then the consequences would be serious.

But then Liu Depeng, the guard of Huangfeng Village, remembered something, his face changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "It's not good, the prison army is coming soon, I heard that I only brought a hundred guards, and if I meet the Liao people in a while......... Damn, Lao Tzu is really unlucky today. ”

"I hope that the prison army, who is said to be very powerful, will not be in vain, can see the wolf smoke in the village, find the Liao people in advance, and retreat in time." Liu Depeng's face became extremely ugly, because he heard about the origin of the prison army, and it was rumored that the Son of Heaven was extremely favored, and he had a very good relationship with Prime Minister Han Qi and Deputy Prime Minister Wang Anshi and Han Jiang, if this young prison soldier died outside his military village, his consequences would not be much better than losing the military village.

Liu Depeng's expectations did not come true, because Zhang Bin appeared not far away with people.

However, most of the worry on Liu Depeng's face dissipated, because Zhang Bin brought not only a hundred people, but nearly a thousand people, and all of them were cavalry.

Just like when the 1,000 Liao soldiers appeared just now, Zhang Bin also galloped towards Huangfengzhai with the 1,000 cavalry, to be precise, he launched a charge against the 200 Liao army.

Although the two hundred Liao troops were not necessarily afraid of the 1,000 cavalry brought by Zhang Bin, they were probably worried that the defenders in Huangfeng Village would attack and attack from both sides, so after a little hesitation, they retreated with their people.

Zhang Bin didn't take anyone to chase after him, and came directly to the bottom of Huangfeng Village.

Liu Depeng wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood at the head of the city and hugged his fist to Zhang Bin and said, "Dare to ask if the city is Zhang Jianjun?" ”

Zhang Bin said loudly: "It is this official." ”

Liu Depeng said respectfully: "Wait a minute, the lower officer will open the city gate and greet the supervising army." ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and said: "This official will not go in, this official has a troop transfer document here, which has the signatures of Han Xianggong, Lieutenant Chong Tai and this official, and a hundred cavalry in your city will immediately go out of the city and carry out another task with this official." ”

When Liu Depeng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly changed, there are nine military villages in Zhending Mansion, each with 1,000 people, including 900 infantry and 100 cavalry, and there are 900 cavalry around this prison army at this time, in addition to the 100 escort cavalry led by himself, the other 800 cavalry is just the sum of the cavalry in the front eight military villages.

"Obedience." Liu Depeng didn't dare to ask Zhang Bin what to do with the cavalry in the nine military villages, nor did he dare to really wait for the transfer documents to be sent in, so he directly ordered a hundred cavalry to quickly get on their horses and leave the city.

Zhang Bin left the transfer documents without any stop, and galloped away in the northwest direction with a thousand cavalry.

The two hundred Liao cavalry who retreated before gathered the other eight hundred companions to catch up, and saw that the distance had been widened, and it was too late to catch up, so they left two hundred cavalry to guard Huangfeng Village as before, and the other eight hundred people continued to plunder the nearby villages, but they sent a team of scouts to keep an eye on the whereabouts of Zhang Bin and his party.

What Zhang Bin did was extremely secretive, how could he let this group of scouts follow, and quietly separated a hundred cavalry guards under his command in a valley, and then went around behind this group of Liao scouts to block it, and then Zhang Bin sent a team of cavalry here, flanked at both ends, and killed all the Liao scouts, and found a place to bury the corpses, ensuring that the Liao people did not know their whereabouts.

Zhang Bin knew that the Liao people suddenly sent men and horses to loot the villages and towns of the Song State in the border pass, but it was to cover the Liao army that was looting grain and grass in the Flying Fox Trail of Taihang Mountain, and it was also to attract the Song soldiers of Zhending Mansion to the various military villages in the border pass, so that after their elite soldiers who robbed grain were exposed, they had time to drive the Song people's husbands to send the grain and grass that was enough for the 100,000 army for three months to the territory of Liao.

However, this also made Zhang Bin more convinced that the Liao people had been fooled and the big fish had taken the bait.

It's just that Zhang Bin, a villager who was looted at the border pass, felt guilty because he was implicated in his plan.

However, at this moment, the arrow is on the bow, and I have no choice but to do it, and I can't take care of it so much.

Fighting a war always involves death, especially to win a war, how can there be no price.

………

………

A thousand cavalry galloped through the valley, and the sound of hooves on the field was like a war drum, making people's blood boil.

When it was almost evening, Zhang Bin came to the entrance of a canyon in Taihang Mountain, and met the lord of the Zhe clan, the prefect of Fuzhou, who had 30,000 Zhe family troops under his command.

"Xiaguan Zhe Kerou visits the prison army!" Zhe Kerou's official quality is two or three levels higher than Zhang Bin's, and Fuzhou is not subordinate to Zhending Mansion, but at present, Zhang Bin is the supervisor of Zhending Mansion, and Fuzhou soldiers and horses are temporarily equipped with Zhending Mansion in accordance with the will of the imperial court, so Zhe Kerou is really Zhang Bin's subordinate for the time being, and it is not wrong to call himself a subordinate official.

But Zhang Bin couldn't hold it up in front of such a feudal official, so he hurriedly dismounted, supported Zhi Kerou's arms, and said politely: "Don't be polite to General Zhe, whether this trip can be successful or not, I have to ask General Zhe." ”

Seeing that although Zhang Bin was young, he was extremely sophisticated, and he did not have the domineering arrogance of a young man who suddenly rose to a high position, and he did not have the same annoying face as the prison army he had seen in the past, he suddenly felt certain in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Rest assured, the most elite 10,000 horses in Fuzhou are already in the canyon at any time. ”

Zhang Bin's eyes flashed, and he said: "But there are 3,000 cavalry, 7,000 infantry, and they have enough siege equipment, and they are dressed as bandits." ”

Zhi Kerou said with a smile: "In order to prepare for the bandit line of 11,000 people, I sent someone to deliberately raid the lair of more than a dozen bandits near Fuzhou!" ”

In the middle section of the Flying Fox Trail in Taihang Mountain, there is an area of about thirty miles, with ravines and ravines, and the terrain is extremely complex, and no one has ever been able to find out how many hidden canyons, how many unknown valleys and mountain cols there are.

At this time, there was an extremely hidden valley only fifteen miles away from the camp of the Great Song Grain Brigade tonight, and along a dry river, the cavalry could reach the camp of the Song Army Grain Brigade in a very concealed manner.

It was late afternoon, and on a hill to the south of the valley, Wang Sunchen watched the Liao army eating dinner with eyes far more powerful than ordinary scouts and archers.

After all, it was to enter the territory of the Song State to rob grain, and Xiao Tianxiong, the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom, did not despise the Song people at all, and was extremely well prepared.

Not only did he send men and horses to raid the Song villages in the border passes, attract the attention of the Song army in Zhending Mansion, and cover the elite of the Liao army who went deep into the Flying Fox Path, but also found this hidden place of hiding soldiers through guides who were familiar with Taihang Mountain.

Carefully observing the temporary rest point of the Liao army, Wang Sunchen rubbed his red eyes, this kind of thing he could have handed over to the people below to do, after all, he was already the commander of the military capital from Wupin, and this was already a senior general.

But this time the matter was too big and too important, and Wang Sunchen knew that it was proposed by Zhang Bin, and if there was an accident, it would have a great impact on Zhang Bin, so he personally led people to follow this Liao army all the way.

It's just that along the way, because of the overload of exercise, a burst of soreness continued to hit his body, and Wang Sunchen did not let himself affect his judgment because of the pain, so as not to affect his judgment of the number of Liao troops in the valley.

"There are about 8,000 people, all of them are cavalry, looking at the size of this war horse, these 8,000 people are all elite cavalry in the Liao army." After a dozen breaths, Wang Sunchen calculated the approximate number of Liao troops in the valley in a unique way, and then led people to retreat quietly.
