There was just some light in the east, and there was a gap between heaven and earth. The early morning wind blew on the face like a knife.

The soldier on the watchtower of the Wucheng military camp stretched his waist and said to his companions: "It's almost dawn, this night is really difficult." Get up and stretch your arms and get ready to eat. Drink a bowl of porridge, eat two white flour steamed buns, go to sleep, I don't know how happy this day is! ”

Another soldier said lazily: "My legs and feet have been frozen so hard this night, and now I just want to roast them by the fire!" ”

While the two were gossiping, two fast horses came running from afar. The two soldiers were stunned for a moment, hurriedly stood up, and watched intently.

The two horsemen arrived outside the barracks door and said in a loud voice: "We are the downstream horsemen of the Meng Tuan Lord, named Qiu Cheng and He Hanliang. When Shi Cai was patrolling there, he saw that the Khitan army had arrived on this side of the river and was reorganizing the army there. I guess it's going to be your barracks at dawn! ”

The soldier on the watchtower listened and came to his senses. He crossed his hands downward and said, "Thank you brother for telling me!" Let's go and report to the group leader! ”

The two men below returned the salute, turned their horses' heads, and flew south.

Wu Cheng had just gotten up and was getting dressed. A pro-soldier came in and said with a forked hand: "Regimental master, it is appropriate for the middle of the main army of the Meng regiment to come to tell you that there are Khitans crossing the river in the north." Now we are reorganizing our soldiers and horses, and we will soon be here to kill! ”

Wu Cheng was taken aback: "Is the news true?" The Khitans crossed the river at night, but it was difficult to prevent! ”

The soldier said: "It's just that two rangers came to report, and I don't know if what they said is the truth." ”

Wu Cheng waved his hand: "Quickly send a ranger to see if the news is true or false!" Also, order all battalions to immediately reorganize the army, and there must be no mistakes! ”

The soldiers sang their promises and walked out of the tent quickly.

Wu Cheng accelerated and got dressed, and ordered the soldiers outside to take their armor and dress neatly. He said to his own soldiers: "Order all battalions, after ordering the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, come to my tent." If the Ranger returns, he will be reported immediately! ”

The east showed a touch of fish belly white, Wu Cheng discussed with several battalion commanders, came out of the tent, and looked anxiously to the north. In a short time, two fast horses galloped into the barracks. Seeing Wu Cheng leading people to stand in front of the handsome tent, he shouted: "Group leader, the Khitans have come!" ”

When Wu Cheng heard this, he felt that his mouth and tongue were a little dry. Biting his lip, he waved his big hand: "The army is out of the camp to meet the Khitans!" ”

Several battalion commanders sang their promises together and hurried back to their respective positions. With the Wucheng army in the middle, the barracks were opened.

As soon as he stood in formation, he saw the rumbling sound of the earth-shattering sound. With the first light from the east, I saw countless Khitan cavalry rolling in from the north. Like a stormy wave, boundless.

Wu Cheng gasped. The time was too short, the artillery was not ready, and the Khitans arrived in front of the battle. Biting his lip, he said in a loud voice: "All armies listen to orders." The Khitans entered within fifty paces and immediately opened fire. Three rows of firing in turn, no slack! ”

The soldiers sang the promise loudly, and for a time the sound shook the sky, and the momentum of the whole army was like a rainbow.

In just the blink of an eye, the Khitan army entered within dozens of steps. In the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, the general's orders could not be heard clearly. Some of the soldiers felt that the distance was almost the same, so they opened fire. Some of the soldiers waited for the order and heard the gunshots before they fired in a panic.

I don't know how many Khitan cavalry fell in the sound of gunfire, but the whole army did not pause at all and rushed towards the Song army. With only one or two shots, the Khitan cavalry rushed into the Song army formation. The steel knife in his hand slashed at the Song soldiers, and many people fell in pools of blood. The Song army in the front row raised the bayonets in their hands and fought with the Khitan army, and there was a chaotic battle for a while.

Wu Cheng was anxious in the middle, and he was anxious to order his first battalion to immediately attack forward and try to push the Khitans back.

Where did I think that the Khitan army did not know how many, and the horses' hooves were rumbling, constantly surging from behind. The Song army's military formation was already in chaos and was pressed back into the barracks. Wu Cheng had no choice but to retreat, anxious in the barracks.

At this time, the sky was faintly bright, and the Khitan army surrounded the barracks, and the forward troops kept storming the camp gate. Before the tea time, the front camp gate was broken by the Khitans, and a large number of cavalry rushed towards the Song army.

Wu Cheng sighed: "Tens of thousands of enemy troops, suddenly attacked, what can be done?" Order the whole army to retreat! All baggage is discarded! After the first battalion was broken, the remaining two battalions retreated to the Zhang Gan military camp! Wei Yue, take the first battalion to block the Khitan soldiers, no military orders, no retreat! ”

The commander of the first battalion, Wei Gao, sang a promise loudly, and slowly formed a defensive line in the barracks with his headquarters.

Wu Cheng looked at the chaotic military camp, sighed secretly, and retreated to the Zhang Gan military camp in the south with his headquarters soldiers and horses. At the same time, he ordered his own soldiers to go to Zhang Gan's army to report the news. Don't retreat there by yourself, the Khitans caught up, Zhang Gan was not ready.

Three miles away, Zhang Gan had just gotten up when his own soldiers rushed in. Fork said: "Regiment master, the main headquarters of the Wu regiment in the north was attacked by the Khitans, and they couldn't defend it, so they retreated to our military camp!" ”

Zhang Gan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Order the whole army, immediately line up!" Also, send someone to inform Xie Chi Yijun and be ready at any time! Also, immediately report to Ma Taiwei in the city, saying that the Khitans are coming! ”

When the soldiers went out, Zhang Gan stroked his forehead, a little distracted. The Khitans came so strangely that they actually chose this time. When they got up early in the morning, the armies were relatively loose and did not have time to line up. What's more, the rangers generally go out early in the morning, when there is no outside reconnaissance.

The forbidden army that has been trained is the time when the military array is formed and all kinds of weapons are prepared, and the combat power is the strongest. Even if several times the enemy forces come to charge, it is difficult to break through. This is the power of the system, and the current Song Army, the weapon is updated, and the system is particularly important. But there was no array, and the weapons were not complete, and the battle with the Khitans became a matter of luck. If you're lucky, the system is complete, and you can still kill all sides. If you are unlucky and are disrupted by the Khitans, you can only resign yourself to fate. The cavalry of the Khitans, against the chaotic infantry, had a very obvious advantage.

Pu Gu rode on his horse, looking back and forth at the abandoned barracks of the Song army. There are complete camp tents inside, uneaten food, and artillery left over from the Song army, and I can't help but be overjoyed. Tugu crossed the river, but as a result, he lost his troops and was forced back by Song Junsheng. crossed the river by himself, and then he killed the Song army, seized their camp, and had so many war profits, he made a great achievement.

Seeing a red light in the east, and turning his head to look at the slowly retreating Song army formation, Pu Gu held a steel knife in his hand and said loudly: "Sons, it's too early, as I catch up, kill again!" These Song people, without the city and without the help of artillery, how can they be our opponents! ”

The soldiers cheered together, raising their swords and dancing wildly. These days have been failing, making the Khitans very depressed. This big victory can sweep away the bad luck of the past few days. If we can win one more game, it will be very exciting.

Zhang Gan rode on his horse, looking at the people and horses of Wucheng who had retreated from the north, and his heart was nervous. The day before yesterday, Meng Xuexue won a big victory, and the Song army felt that his strength was strong, and the Khitans were definitely not opponents. Unexpectedly, in just one day, he was defeated by the Khitans.

The distance of three miles, the distance between the two armies is not far from each other. It was just tea time, and Wu Cheng saw the Zhang Gan army formation in front of him and let out a sigh. This time, he was really defeated inexplicably, with Zhang Gan's help, and fought with the Khitan again.
