Xiao Jingangnu stood on the wall with a blue face, and saw the corpses of people, horses, and cattle all over the road, and there was almost nowhere to put his feet.

Thousands of people and horses were crowded on this narrow road just now, because the gate of the south entrance was narrower than the road, and when people and horses were scrambling to pass through the gate, they were crowded in front of the door, and countless people were squeezed off the horse. In the end, except for a few clever people who abandoned their horses and ran to the hillside to survive, most of them were either killed or trampled to death. In order to save their comrades under the wall, the Liao soldiers who saw the tragic scene below on the walled wall released arrows one after another, turning hundreds of cattle into corpses and piling them on the pass. So if you want to get through, now in addition to cleaning up the carcasses of people and horses, you also have to clean up these cattle carcasses.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the smell of burnt fire drifting from the north wind was even more disgusting. Xiao Jingangnu couldn't help but look into the distance where the fireworks were raging, and muttered, "Are the Song people burning corpses?" Why does it stink so much? ”

A small leader stumbled under the wall on the road covered with corpses and shouted, "Report! The Song people set fire to the car on the road ahead. The fire is so big that you can't get through it at all! From the mountain, the field was also burned by the Song people! ”

Xiao Jingangnu asked, "Why is it so stinky?" ”

The little leader replied weakly: "The Song people set fire to a lot of sheepfolds in the middle of the road, this is the smell of burning wool!" ”

Xiao Jingangnu almost vomited blood - this Song man is really a loser!

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that the little leader suddenly fell to the ground, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

A few soldiers who cleaned up the corpse hurriedly helped the little leader up, and when they saw that he was foaming at the mouth, someone shouted: "Isn't it crazy to goat?" ”

But soon the people from the north ran back in a hurry, and Xiao Jingang Nu hurriedly shouted and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Someone bent over and stumbled under the wall holding his stomach, and shouted weakly: "General, the Song people don't know what to burn?" But it's poisonous smoke! Someone is already unconscious! ”

Xiao Jingangnu also felt that the smoke floating from the north was a little stingy just now, but he didn't care, and now that he was reminded like this, he realized that there was a strange and irritating smell under the pungent smell of burning. He stood up straight and sniffed carefully, but he didn't expect his head to be dizzy suddenly, so he knew that it was not good, and hurriedly ordered: "Withdraw the army first!" Fast! ”

Soon after they withdrew from the stockade, most of the Liao troops who entered the pass road were dizzy, and some of them vomited and diarrhea. Although Xiao Jingangu was far away from the place where the fire was burning, because he was standing on a high place, he inhaled a lot of poisonous smoke, and he had diarrhea so much that he couldn't even get up on the horse. The Liao people did not know what the Song army had put in the fire, and they did not dare to enter the mouth of the Great Wall casually for a while, so they could only let hundreds of Liao carts transporting grain and straw and a large number of felled trees continue to burn.

In fact, Li Buqi just asked people to put some common medicinal materials such as croton, coriander, euphorbia, and wolf poison into the fire, which can be bought in pharmacies, and the Liao people only need to get some licorice and chew it, and most people can get it right. But Xiao Jingangnu didn't know, and he didn't have a place to get licorice at this time, so he had to quickly send someone to report to Yelu Yixian, and at the same time scout and ride out to find the Song people who ran away.

At this time, Li Buqi was looting north of the Song-Liao border, how could Xiao Jingangnu find traces of the Song army south of the border?

Li Buqi interrogated the prisoners after taking control of Huangfu Town, and learned that there was no garrison in Xincheng County in the northeast, and there were only 2,000 old and weak Liao troops in Zhuozhou, so he immediately ordered the cavalry to plunder everywhere.

The land of Yanyun is undoubtedly the essence of Liao, although the food shortage is imminent, but in fact, some places are not poor.

According to the intelligence collected by the Police Department from the Liao State, since the current Liao Emperor Yelu Zongzhen succeeded to the throne, the rights of the Liao nobles have been greatly expanded, and a lot of land has been annexed in the land of Yanyun. Especially in the Song-Xia border area, there has always been a war, so not many people have bought land here. However, after more than 40 years of peace, the shadow of war seems to have long since dissipated, and many Liao nobles saw that the land was fertile and easy to trade with the Song people, and they set up granges in this area. These granges are free of taxes, cattle and horses are prosperous, and the grain barns are full, which is different from the scene outside the grange.

Li Buqi's task to his subordinates was to destroy these granges, implement the two-light policy of burning and robbing them all, seize all horses, cattle, Khitans and Xi people, kill all sheep, and burn houses.

Li Buqi said to the officers: "Tell your subordinates that since the Liao people have captured us Han people and sent us to the city to die, we will retaliate and send the Liao people to the city." Let the Liao people also taste the taste of life and death! But you must pay attention and tell your warriors that although we do not take the initiative to attack the Han people of Liao, some Han people of Liao may already think that they are Liao, and if there are Han people of Liao who resist you, they will be regarded as Khitans and will be killed! ”

Dong Renzhang said with a smile: "You can't patrol the border like this. For the Han family who lost the state, how can it be regarded as an enemy? If he said this to the sergeants, it was difficult to ensure that the sergeants were not good at killing, so there was a dislike. ”

Li Buqi said: "Do you know that the Liao people pay great attention to encircling Yanyun, Xi people, and Han people. After the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Liao Emperor took out a quarter of the year's coins to offset Yanyun's tax burden, and later used all the year's coins to offset Yanyun's tax burden. In addition to the Khitans, Xi people, and Han people, there are also many tribes such as Divination, Bohai, and Nuzhi, and the Khitans would rather plunder the tribes of Bohai, Nuzhi, and Divination, but also lightly pay for them in Yanyun, and it is inevitable that some people will be bought by Xiaoen Xiaohui and regard themselves as Liao. Now we are fighting as an enemy country, and we should not take it lightly. ”

Although Dong Renzhang didn't say anything, the look in his eyes was obviously disapproving. Li doesn't give up and doesn't say much, the fact is that he is the best teacher, let these talents go to the battlefield to feel it in person, so that they can get rid of their bookish anger.

So Li Buqi just emphasized again that he could not trust any of the inhabitants of the enemy country, and then let them act separately. After a while, there was smoke rising into the sky on all sides, and after a while, a team escorting the Liao people appeared on the road. Li Buqi ordered to burn the grain and grass hoarded by the Liao people in Huangfu Town, and then led the whole army to Zhuozhou slowly.

Hebei is in the plain, lack of commanding heights to observe the enemy's situation, so no matter the Song Liao, when building pagodas in the border area, they are built into the form of climbing and watching as the commanding heights of the lookout. Therefore, these stupas have a popular name called "Enemy Pagoda". Commonly known as the south tower of Zhuozhou, the tower of Zhidu Temple is built tall and solid, and people can observe the situation of hundreds of square kilometers when standing on it. Zhuozhou guard general Yelu Ning Wuxin gave full play to the function of the enemy pagoda, standing on the tower of Zhidu Temple and looking south, his mood was completely collapsed.

To the south, there was a lot of smoke and fire, and I don't know how many granges were burning. Looking at the area of fire, you can see that there are a lot of enemy troops.

What happened just now can be said to have broken his heart. Without warning, suddenly a group of Song troops rushed into the city gate, rushed along the street, cut down people on sight, and kept throwing torches into the houses on the side of the road. Then it swept like the wind and rushed out of the north gate. Such fierce, is this still the Song Army?

When the Liao people in the city came back to their senses, the Song people had blocked several gates in Zhuozhou, and they didn't even let anyone go out. Thinking of the Song people being so unscrupulous, Yelu Ningwu felt worried, and he didn't know how many troops the Song people came.

Didn't Yelu Yixian and the emperor's troops all enter the Song realm? How could the Song people still send a large army to kill Zhuozhou? Could it be that which army has already been defeated? And is it all annihilated?
