Chapter 599: Cocooning Yourself
In another forest more than ten miles away to the west, Yan Qing actually saw an endless white tent, which should be a hunting area, drive the animals out of the forest and shoot them on this grassland, the area is vast, the grassland area is thousands of acres, surrounded by forests, the camp tent is very hidden inside, and there are countless secret sentinels hidden in the surrounding forests, even if the Song army scouts want to enter the forest over there, they will be killed by the secret sentinels, if it weren't for Yan Qing climbing a thousand-year-old tree, he really can't see this big camp.
Yan Qing's heart was pounding nervously, and he quickly came down from the top of the tree, he jumped off the tree lightly, beckoned to everyone, and everyone followed him into the woods.
"Marquis Yu, what's going on?"
"Don't worry, what's the news over there?" Yan Qing asked the messenger soldier.
A soldier who had come to deliver the letter stepped forward and said: "The commander asked me to tell Yu Hou that the east and south are endless fields, and no enemy situation has been found, and there are large forests to the west and north, and if there is an enemy situation, it is likely to be here, so you must be cautious." ”
Yan Qing nodded, "You go back and tell the commander that I have discovered the enemy situation just now, and there are a large number of camp tents in a forest more than ten miles to the north. ”
Yan Qing simply took out the simple map, first found his position, and then wiped it slightly with wet mud on the map more than ten miles to the north, and handed the map to the soldiers, "Where there is mud, the enemy army is stationed." ”
"Marquis Yu, how many of them are there?"
Yan Qing couldn't wait to give himself a slap, but he actually forgot this most critical information, he thought for a while and said: "It's true that I don't know how many troops there are, but judging from the size of the camp, it should be about twenty or thirty thousand people, and there will be no other situation." ”
"The villain is going to reply to the letter!"
The messenger turned on his horse, and he did not dare to go the same way, but walked through the woods and went back from the east.
When the messenger left, the other scouts were in high spirits and asked, "Marquis Yu, have you really discovered the enemy's situation?" ”
Yan Qing nodded, "They are very hidden, if it weren't for this thousand-year-old tree, I wouldn't have seen it, and it was also a coincidence." ”
"Marquis Yu, do you want to set fire to his mother's tent!" One of his subordinates suggested with a bang.
Yan Qing's heart moved, this is a good way, but ....... He also knew that there was no consent to this kind of thing, and he must not act at will, they were just scouts, responsible for probing intelligence, not the vanguard of killing the enemy.
Yan Qing shook her head, "Our task is to monitor, what control will naturally be arranged, we don't want to be too troubled!" ”
.........
The time gradually came to night, Yan Qing and other subordinates took turns to climb the big tree to observe the situation in the distance, fortunately, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse tonight, and the white tent was extremely clear in the moonlight, even if it was more than ten miles away.
Of course, as a qualified scout, this is not enough to look at from a distance, Yan Qing sent four more people to stand guard around the other party's forest, so that even if this army secretly leaves, it will not be able to escape their surveillance.
At the first watch, the messenger sent by Li Yanqing in the morning came again, and dozens of scouts came with him, each carrying a bag of fire oil, and at the same time brought Yan Qing a short and capable order: burn the camp.
Yan Qing looked at his current subordinates, there were a total of fifty elite scouts, even if there was an ambush in the forest, they would kill a way.
"Follow me!"
Yan Qing waved his hand and rushed towards the north with fifty of his subordinates.
.........
Yan Qing was not mistaken, this big camp hidden in the forest was the 30,000 Liao army led by Xiao Gan, this forest was a hundred miles in circumference, and the thousands of acres of grassland in the middle were excellent hiding places, very hidden, even if the Song army scouts touched in, they would be killed by the hidden secret sentinels.
Xiao Gan's original plan was to cut off their logistics and grass behind his back, forcing them to turn back to save themselves, and then face up to the head-on, but the Song army was defeated in a battle.
Unexpectedly, what he met this time was an experienced veteran master Dao, and there was a perceptive Li Yanqing, 30,000 Song troops were not in a hurry or impatient, they were actually stationed in the south of Liangxiang County, and also built a wall-type military camp, which was obviously a plan for a long-term confrontation, this move really made Xiao Gan unexpected, the dilemma they are facing now is not only the Northern Expedition of the Song Army, but also the southern invasion of Phnom Penh, they put all their forces on the Song Army, once the Jin soldiers go south, the consequences are unimaginable.
But if they dragged the army to deal with the Jin soldiers, it would allow the Song army to capture Xijin City without much effort, so that Xiao Gan really felt like he was being attacked on his back.
"King, their camp is very large, and the main force should be included, once the main force is stationed, can we attack Fanyang County in a roundabout way, cut off their supply logistics line, and make them chaotic without a fight."
The one who made the suggestion was Xiao Gan's nephew B Room Eight Jin, who is also his confidant general, and Room B Eight Jin is Xi Ren, of course, from the perspective of Xi Ren.
Xiao Gan nodded, he also thought about it this way, he only had 30,000 troops, and the other party had 80,000 troops, including the warlike Hedong Army and the famous general Seed Master Dao, if it was a hard battle between the two sides, the defeat was likely to be himself.
In fact, Xiao Gan also has another idea, that is, after Yelu Dashi defeats Tong Guan, the two armies will converge and fight to the death with the seed master, and at that time they will face the 80,000 Song army with an army of 60,000, and the probability of winning will be more likely.
At this moment, there was a faint sound of chaos outside the tent, which made Xiao Gan stunned, he walked out of the big tent quickly, and was stunned, only to see the flames in the south soaring into the air, the fire was blazing, this is at least hundreds of big tents have been ignited, not only the big tent, it seems that the forest has also been ignited, and I saw countless soldiers fleeing to this side in panic.
Xiao Gan reacted very quickly, and he immediately shouted: "Quickly dismantle the big tent, quickly!" ”
The soldiers waved their knives and slashed at the rope that fixed the big tent, without the rope fixing, the big tent quickly collapsed, and a large open space appeared in only a moment, but the speed of the soldiers still couldn't catch up with the speed of the spread of the fire, the fire that originally burned in the south had spread to the middle, and many soldiers died tragically in the flames, and Xiao Gan's heart was dripping blood.
"Dashuai, the forest is also burning!"
The soldiers pointed to the surrounding forest and shouted, the forest was lit by the fire of the tent, it was a dry autumn, the fire spread very quickly, the forest crackled, the trees fell in the flames, the smoke billowed out, and many soldiers coughed repeatedly.
Xiao Gan knew that they could stay in the middle and not be burned by the flames, but he was afraid that the soldiers would choke to death by the smoke, so he had no choice but to shout: "All the brothers come with me!" ”
He turned on his horse and ran towards the forest to the north, where thousands of horsemen followed him, quickly leading the other soldiers, and soon all the soldiers in the barracks followed the commander to the forest to the north.
........
At this time, about a mile outside the forest in the north, Li Yanqing led an army of 10,000 and had been waiting for a long time, while the division led another 10,000 soldiers to blockade in the west.
Although the forest is very large, he has seen the thick smoke above the forest, and the fire reflects the night sky, Li Yanqing shook his head secretly, this will be a big disaster, and even a few days and nights may not be able to calm down, and finally burn this lush and fertile forest to white land, but a few hundred years later, the changes of Songhai Cangtian, here may become an endless wheat field, or a new forest may appear.
Li Yanqing and the planters agreed that the tens of thousands of enemy troops hidden in the forest either escaped from the north or from the west, and it was impossible to escape from the south, and the risk in the east was too great, and people would instinctively look for a safe place in a hurry, so Li Yanqing believed that the Liao army was the most likely to escape from the north of the forest.
The fire burned for more than an hour, and still no one escaped, Li Yanqing was secretly surprised in his heart, could it be that he made a mistake in judgment?
"They're out!"
Suddenly, a soldier pointed to the forest and shouted, only to see thousands of Liao soldiers fleeing from the forest, all of them embarrassed, Li Yanqing was overjoyed, waved his sword and shouted: "The whole army is killed!" ”
"Boom! Boom! Boom! The drums beat loudly, and 10,000 soldiers of the Right Army gathered momentum for a long time and pounced on thousands of Liao soldiers.
At this time, Yang Zaixing rushed to Li Yanqing and shouted: "Control, it's a little wrong!" ”
Li Yanqing hurriedly reined in the war horse and asked loudly, "What's wrong!" ”
"Shouldn't the Liao soldiers who escaped be cavalry first?"
Li Yanqing was stunned, he also suddenly realized that something was wrong, and then looked at the forest, after only four or five thousand people escaped, there were almost no deserters behind.
Li Yanqing slapped his forehead suddenly, he fell for the enemy's golden cicada shell, Xiao Gan already knew that he was hiding in the north, so after throwing out a few thousand people, their main force fled from the other side.
Now that his subordinates have been killed with the enemy, it is obviously unrealistic to collect the troops, and he has a great hatred in his heart, so he has to shout to Yang Zaixing: "You take five hundred cavalry to the east to see if the enemy has escaped from the east." ”
"Obey!" Yang Zaixing galloped away.
Li Yanqing yelled angrily, "Kill me without mercy, don't leave a single one!" ”
.........
Xiao Gan is worthy of being a famous general in Northern Liao, at the last moment, he suddenly realized that the Song army must be waiting for him outside, he quickly thought about it, if his Song army commander, in which direction will he set up an ambush, it should be north and west, the east is just the official road, and he thinks that the enemy army will not flee from the east.
Thinking of this, he decided to make a bet and bet their lives on the east, and Xiao Gan immediately divided his troops into two routes, allowing thousands of men to escape from the forest from the north, and he himself led 20,000 cavalry to the east.
It's a pity that the fighters who annihilated the enemy army failed to catch it in the end, and when Li Yanqing annihilated 4,000 Liao soldiers and then turned to the east, Xiao Gan had already led the remnants of the army to flee without a trace.
But even so, it was a great victory, and Xiao Gan's troops lost 10,000 men after they died in the fire and were intercepted by Li Yanqing.
Two days later, the seed master Dao led the army to Liangxiang County, and he brought a very heavy news to Li Yanqing and the seed master, Yelu Dashi defeated Xin Xingzong's 120,000 army in Yizhou, Xin Xingzong only led more than 15,000 remnants of the army to flee back to Baozhou, and the remaining 100,000 troops were wiped out.
