Chapter 374: Xiao Sixian, a friend of the Liao Kingdom

Wuzhou fell, the Great Liao was furious, with Yelu Dashi as the commander, and Xiao Sixian, the supervisor of Kyoto in Liao, as the vanguard, with the Bianguan, Pinglu, and Shuozhou, a total of 124,000 troops, went straight to Wuzhou City.

On the eighth day of the fifth month, the pioneer Xiao Si crossed the Gray River in the evening, and that night 15,000 troops set up camp ten miles northwest of Chenjiapo. Xiao Sixian was not worried about the Han people attacking with water again, the last time he dug the embankment, the water level of the gray river dropped rapidly, and there was no heavy rain recently, how could he stage a good show of flooding the Seventh Army? Without worry, Xiao Sixian was also stationed near Chenjiapo with peace of mind, and when he waited until tomorrow, he would go directly to Wuzhou City. Others say how terrible that Zhao Yougong is, but General Xiao Er scoffs, they are all some overly cautious guys, no matter how powerful that Han man is, how powerful can he be?

In the Wuzhou City General's Mansion, more than a dozen generals were sitting in the hall at this time, all with solemn faces. The Great Liao Vanguard Army has crossed the Gray River, and the speed is really a little too fast, as far as Xiao Sixian's marching speed is a typical lone army going deep. All the generals were silent, and Gao Zhong stared at the cold look on his face, "Your Highness, that Xiao Sixian dared to set up the camp near Chenjiapo, this is simply despising me, and I also asked His Highness to give the last general 3,000 men and horses, and the last general will let Xiao Sixian, a barbarian, cry out." ”

Gao Chong's words couldn't be clearer, he just wanted to carry out a sneak attack. In fact, Zhao Yougong and Dongfang Jin also thought so, the Liao army's three-way people belonged to Xiao Sixian's most opportunity, if they could defeat the Liao army for a while, and hit the Liao army's sharp spirit fiercely, it would also be of great benefit to the defenders of the city behind. The night attack is definitely a night attack, but it can't be messed around like a high pet. Oriental officials pinched goose feather fans. Lao Cheng smiled comfortably. "General Gao, do you think Yelu Dashi is a fool? Xiao Sixian is so lonely and deep, Yelu Dashi will not be vigilant at all, if a certain family is not mistaken, this Xiao Sixian is the bait thrown by Yelu Dashi, it is estimated that there are Liao soldiers ambushed on the east side of the gray river at this time, if we go to sneak attack Xiao Sixian's army, eighty percent will be covered by people. Caught in the net. ”

Listening to Dongfang Jin's words, Gao Chong's face drooped, and he said in a very angry urn voice, "Military advisor, listen to what you mean, then we won't do anything, and wait dryly for the Liao people to attack?" ”

"Shhh, General Gao, don't be impatient, wait for a certain family to talk carefully" Dongfang Jin continued to say unhurriedly, looking at his calm and relaxed appearance. Gao Chong hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched, and he really wanted to pull the big official to a no-man's corner and beat him up at this time.

"General Gao said that he was going to attack at night. Actually, it's not impossible, it's just that the method has to be changed, oh, everyone, the Liao soldier armor that everyone collected some time ago has been collected, right? ”

Hearing Dongfang Jin's question, Wu Liang, who had been in charge of the chores in the city, arched his hand and said, "Back to the military division, more than 2,000 sets of intact Liao soldier armor have been collected. ”

"Yes, I will trouble General Wu to send all the collected ones to General Liu Jian in a while" Dongfang Jin sat back, pinched out a letter from his sleeve, and after throwing it to Liu Kuang, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "General Liu, this night attack is handed over to you, what to do specifically, the letter is very clear, go back and see." ”

Liu Jian was overjoyed, took the letter in a hurry, got up and said, "Your Highness Xie, the last general will act according to the plan tonight, so that the Liao people will not live in peace." ”

Gao Zhong stared, and his anger went straight out, he Gao someone raised yì for a long time, but he took it and sent Uncle Liu Xin to go, could it be that Uncle Liu Xin was more powerful than him Gao someone?

"Strategist, you are really not authentic, the matter of the night attack was obviously proposed by Gao, why did Song and others do it?"

Without waiting for the Dongfang officials to speak, Zhao Yougong first snorted, then rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "Changke, don't be noisy, this king asks you, do you speak Khitan dialect?" If not, shut up! ”

"Uh" This time, Gao Zhong suddenly lost his temper, swallowed his saliva and honestly became an audience, and he didn't know what crooked ideas His Highness and the big officials had, and they even had to be able to speak Khitan dialect.

Seeing Gao Pet choked, everyone also felt funny, and they lowered their heads one by one and laughed, but because of Gao Pet's temper and identity, no one dared to laugh too much. However, the impulsive temperament of high pets has also converged a lot over the years, and he has not cared about it.

That night, Liu Jian led the troops out of the city from the west gate, and came to the outside of the city, Liu Jian did not rush to Chenjiapo, but traveled westward for a while, and after making sure that the spies had returned, he immediately turned to the east and rushed to the east of Chenjiapo. At the same time, several Liao scouts also rode back to the east of Shiqiao. These scouts were not sent by Xiao Sixian first, and General Xiao Er didn't take the Han people into account at all, so how could he work hard to reject the waiters, or in the middle of the night.

Now stationed in the east of the stone bridge is the Xijing garrison Fei Lian battalion commander Dalama, since Xiao Sixian left the Shuozhou City camp, Dalama was ordered to personally lead 5,000 men and horses to follow him, originally he was still cautious, for fear of startling Xiao Sixian, the good bait was gone, the result was good, carefully followed all the way, the second general Xiao was stunned not to send scouts, the five thousand troops behind him directly ignored. Dalama has no temper at all, he has been fighting for more than ten years, and for the first time in his life, he has seen a pioneer who does not send scouts, General Xiao Er does not take the Han people in his eyes, Dalama does not dare, there is no way, and he has to secretly send scouts to run in front of General Xiao Er. After people reject it, they defend themselves against the enemy, and they reject it and defend their own people, what is this called?

At the end of the hour, the sky was starry and dark, and Dalama was resting in the tent, when he was suddenly woken up by the guards, wrapped up in clothes and let the returning scout into the big tent, the scout was panting, obviously tired enough to gallop on horseback, "General Dalama, the Han people are out of the city, but they are going west." The brothers were afraid that they would be discovered by the Han people if they followed them any further, so they hurried back. ”

Listening to what the scout said, Dalama can also understand that if the Han people really go all the way to the west, and the scouts don't turn all the way to follow, then as soon as they are discovered at dawn, they will have nowhere to run if they want to, and the Han people only need to send a small group of people in the city to block the back road, so that you have to plant as many scouts as you want. Touching his chin and rubbing his eyes, Dalama opened his mouth and sneered, "Hehe, these Han people have a lot of fancy intestines, there is a fart in the west, will they go west?" Come. Summons to the ministries. Don't sleep. The whole army will go to Chenjiapo with the general, and tonight they will swallow this Han people in one bite. ”

Almost without much thought, Dalama gave an order, at this time, there was only General Xiao Er's men and horses near Wuzhou City, and it couldn't be said that the Han people ran to the direction of the pass to sneak attack General Pang He, right?

That night, in the northwest grassland of Chenjiapo, a group of men and horses wearing Liao soldier armor quietly walked towards Xiao Sixian's camp and came to the camp gate. Liu Kuang spoke authentic Khitan and opened the camp very smoothly. Its shun lì cheng dù is like entering his own door, but it is also too smooth, which makes Liu Jian a little embarrassed. I have heard for a long time that General Xiao Er is like a ghost, and when I see it tonight, it is really extraordinary, just like him with the art of war, how many people really have to become ghosts. After entering the camp, it was much more convenient, and more than 2,000 people were instantly divided into 20 squads to kill people and set fire to Yingzhou. He even shouted in Khitan dialect, "Kill the Khitan dog." Kill."

The Khitans are not stupid, they were killed by Liu Jian for a while, and some Liao generals also reacted, they called their subordinates loudly and kept shouting, "There are spies in the camp, don't panic, retreat to the wolf's den!" ”

The wolf's den, in fact, is the handsome tent, which is also the unique name of the soldiers and horses in Shangjing, Liu Jian was suddenly blindfolded, how did he know where the wolf's den was? However, seeing that the goal had been achieved, he shouted in Khitan dialect, "Brothers, the Khitan dog wants to bite, withdraw"

Liu Jian led the people to withdraw, and General Xiao Er, who had just gotten up from the bed, was willing to give up, rode on his horse and held a scimitar and said angrily, "Give the general chase!" ”

As soon as General Xiao Er was about to beat his horse out of the camp, a Liao general came up to stop him and said, "Xiao Dujian, you can't see at this time when it's dark at night, it's not appropriate to pursue, be careful that the Han people are cheating." ”

The Liao general was also kind-hearted, why didn't Xiao Si listen to it first, his eyes widened, his handsome face collapsed, and he shouted coldly, "Get out, there are no guts, the Han people are so little, can there be a fart ambush?" If you don't chase again, the Han people will run away! With a flick of the horsewhip, Xiao Si hit the horse and ran out first, and then the generals were immediately helpless, so they could only call their subordinates to follow. The reason why this is so is also because of the special military law of the Liao Dynasty, if the main general is killed because of the unfavorable guard, then the whole army will have to follow the bad luck, if it is not because of this, the ghost is willing to accompany Xiao Si to toss first.

It's really dark tonight, so dark that you can't see your fingers, and holding a torch can only illuminate the distance of two zhang ahead, but fortunately, the Han people are not small to escape, and they are still saying some curses along the way, so they won't be lost. Under the dark night, they couldn't distinguish the direction, and many Liao generals were very panicked, but General Xiao Er kept shouting, looking majestic.

Liu Jian led the people to run for a while, then turned around and ran in the direction of Shiqiao, about ten miles away, and when the spies came back, he asked while running, "How are the Liao people on the east side of Shiqiao?" ”

"General Liu, as you expected, all the Liao soldiers are rushing towards Chenjiapo, and now it is estimated that it is only ten miles away from us!"

After calculating the time, Liu Jian frowned, suddenly slowed down and signaled his subordinates to walk north, and after walking for a while, they all lay on the ground and waited. Sure enough, the Liao soldiers who followed closely behind didn't know why, and they thought that the Han people had quickened their pace, and many Liao generals were still shouting in pain, "Run faster, are these Han people rabbits, running so fast?" ”

At the same time, Dalama who had just crossed the stone bridge was not having a good time, as soon as the army crossed the stone bridge, he was greeted by a burst of arrows from the Han people, but fortunately, Dalama was experienced, although the opposite side spoke Khitan dialect, but he still distinguished those were Han people from the tone. The Han people disguised themselves as Da Liao warriors for a sneak attack, and they didn't know what happened to Chenjiapo, relying on a rain of arrows to suppress, Dalama drove away the group of Han people, and then quickly rushed to Chenjiapo, and ran out of ten miles, listening to the movement in front of him, he let people shout, but the person who shouted just shouted half, and there was a burst of arrows on the opposite side, which Dalama was angry, and the fire of this group of dogs and Han people was endless, if it wasn't too dark, they would have sent someone to surround this group of Han people and squat and eat. Helplessly, another rain of arrows suppressed, and the Han people were beaten away and continued to advance.

When it was ugly, it was already approaching Chenjiapo, this time listening to the movement on the other side, Dalama had experience, and wanted to let the shield hand in front of him, so that people could shout, but the big voice of this Chinese dialect was even more unlucky, and he just opened his mouth and shouted a few words and was directly nailed into a hedgehog by dozens of arrows.

Just opposite Dalama, General Xiao Er waved his knife and shouted, and several Liao generals hurriedly commanded the battle. Don't say that after marching for so long, General Xiao Er finally did the right thing. At this time, it is dark and not in the middle of winter, so it is most appropriate to use arrows, so more than 15,000 people in Shangjing under Xiao Sixian's department fired thousands of arrows. Liao was born in the grassland, riding a horse and archery is a necessary skill, more than 10,000 people archery, the opposite Dalama immediately felt a strong pressure, just a few rounds of arrow rain, many Liao warriors became the soul of the arrow. Dalama couldn't understand why the Han people were suddenly so powerful, before the Han people's bows and arrows were like tickling, but now they are simply covered with arrows.
