Although Yan Qing is the same age as them, he is very old and has the calmness of a main general, otherwise Li Yanqing would not have let him be the main general of this expedition.

"Think about it, why did Du Shuai send you here, and what do you have in common? I am not referring to age, but to combat superiority. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Zhao Wu suddenly blurted out, "Night battle!" ”

It suddenly dawned on everyone that several of them were masters of night warfare, including 10,000 troops, and they were also the most outstanding troops in night combat training.

"Our current identity is a rebel in Liangshanbo for the Qi army, and only attacking at night is conducive to covering up our identity, and night fighting is also our specialty, why not make good use of it."

Yan Qing simply found a flat boulder, recruited several people, and he took a few stones and put them on the boulder, "This is Liangshanbo, this is Wuzhang River, this is Juye County, and this is the official road in Beishang." ”

Yan Qing used clay to draw lakes, rivers, cities and official roads on the boulder, and he put a boulder next to the river, "This is the enemy's grain fleet, let's talk about why Liu Yi didn't bring the grain ashore?" ”

Zhao Wu thought for a while and said: "It should be that the people can't recruit the big car, and the big car will follow Zhang Rong and them to the north." ”

"This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, Liu Yi actually wants to transport grain by water, and he is not moving now, in fact, he just wants to see if there is a naval army in Liangshan to attack the grain ship."

"It's a bit too risky, not attacking the grain boat, it doesn't mean that there is no navy in the lake."

Yan Qing nodded, "So the commander will send me as the main general, everyone knows that I am the commander of the intelligence army, and collecting intelligence is my strength, before going to war, I have already sent someone to carefully touch the bottom of this Liu Yi."

This Liu Yi was a peasant in Fucheng, Hebei Province two years ago, the Jin soldiers killed, he didn't even have the courage to flee south, obediently did the people, this person is not so much cautious, but he is timid, in Chenzhou last year to exterminate the righteous army Zhang Santoutuo, there were horses in the military camp at night frightened, he thought it was the enemy army stealing the camp, immediately disguised as a small soldier to escape, the first to run out of the camp, and later became the laughing stock of the whole army. ”

Chong Lie frowned, "Such a cowardly person, Liu Yu actually made him the coach?" ”

"This is the key, obviously a timid and incompetent person, why did Liu Yu let him be the coach? Aren't you afraid that he will lose 30,000 troops? ”

Yan Qing glanced at the people in contemplation, and said with a slight smile: "I analyze two reasons, the first is that Liu Yu despises Zhang Rong's righteous army in his bones, thinking that like other righteous army, they are all rabble, and they will be defeated in a battle, which is actually Liu Yu's underestimation of the enemy." ”

"The second reason is that Liu Yi is Liu Yu's younger brother, Liu Yu can't trust other generals, especially this time he sent his most elite Yun Congjun, Yun Congjun is either his personal commander, or his son is in command, this time let his brother command 10,000 Yun Congjun, this is also the reason."

Zhao Wu suddenly said: "Actually, the goal of our coming to Liangshanbo this time is not Liu Yu at all, right!" ”

Yan Qing gave a thumbs up, "It's still General Zhao who can see it thoroughly!" ”

He straightened his waist and said to the crowd: "I might as well tell you that our mission this time is to capture the Daimyo's Mansion and lay the foundation for the recovery of Hebei in the future. ”

"But the Daimyo's Mansion is guarded by golden soldiers!"

Yan Qing said with a smile: "This is the reason why Du Shuai uses Liang Shanbo as a chess piece, when Liu Yu can't handle Liang Shanbo and urgently needs foreign aid, the Jin soldiers in Xuzhou can't move, and the Jin soldiers in Yanjing are not familiar with the situation, so naturally they can only go south from the Jin soldiers of the Daimyo's Mansion." ”

..........

As night fell, Yan Qing led 10,000 soldiers to the north of Juye County and ran towards the Qi army camp in a roundabout way.

Although Yan Qing thought that Liu Yi still had the idea of letting the fleet go to Liangshan, he would not really sit back and wait for the enemy transport fleet to come to the door, that would be too passive, and it was not his Yan Qing's style of doing things.

Yan Qing's purpose was to completely annihilate the 30,000 Qi troops who went north this time, in order to successfully implement the strategic deception, Yan Qing did his homework and erased all the traces of the Song army, each soldier tied a blue cloth on his left arm, and Zhang Rong's soldiers, which means 'Blue Turban Army', and the word 'Zhang' is also written on the banner, and the word 'stone' is written on the banner of the main general.

All evidence indicates that they were Zhang Rong's army, led by the lieutenant general Shi Xiu.

Of course, there is also a premise that a soldier cannot be captured, not a single soldier can, Yan Qing is not absolutely sure of this, he can only do his best.

The Song army lay in ambush in a forest one mile away from the enemy's camp, and of course there were Qi army patrol posts here, but they were killed by the Song army, and they failed to issue an alarm in time, causing a gap in the northeast corner of the camp.

"Dutong, the other party actually has a camp!"

Chong Lie couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and whispered to Yan Qingdao.

"It's normal, Yun Congjun has a temporary marching tent."

"Can we attack with fire, then?" Chong Lie suggested again.

Yan Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Fire attack is okay, but you can't use gunpowder arrows, you can only use ordinary rockets." ”

"Humble duty understands!" The seed quickly retreated.

Yan Qing thought of a fire attack, generally speaking, if you camp with a big tent, then all kinds of preventive measures must be done very well, such as the periphery of the patrol posts, guard towers, and tall camp fences, although these measures are available to the Qi army, but they are not in place, but they are only in vain.

For example, the interaction mechanism between patrol posts, in order to prevent the patrol posts from being killed by the enemy, so in a short period of time, the patrol posts have to exchange patrol positions, or the sentries come back to report to the post, once the sentry does not appear in time, it will immediately cause alarm.

And the patrol post here has become a fixed post, and the sentry will not be confirmed at night after being released, it is just a formality, in the final analysis, it is still the other party who despises the Liangshanbo Righteous Army in his bones and does not take the Righteous Army to heart, which creates an opportunity for fire attack.

When the time came, Chong Lie led three hundred soldiers to start the action, and they quickly approached the northeast corner, where there was a sentry tower, the sentries in it had been killed by the Song army scouts, and replaced by Song soldiers, which made this sentry tower the eyes and ears of the Song army.

A flash of fire flashed on the watchtower, indicating that there was no one around, and Chonglie led three hundred soldiers to quickly approach the barracks, but the soldiers did not enter the barracks, but put six large barrels on the ground, which were filled with fire oil.

The soldiers, all carrying traditional rockets, wrapped their arrows around the tarpaulin, soaked them in oil barrels and prepared to light them, while ten torches appeared.

The appearance of torches meant that the army would be exposed to the eyes of the enemy sentinels, and the Song soldiers lit the fire cloth in the torches, and immediately opened their bows and arrows into the barracks, and rockets rose into the air and shot into the barracks.

'When! While! While! Another guard tower not far away spotted the fire and sounded the alarm urgently.

At the same time, another army led by Zhao Wu also fired rockets into the barracks in the southwest corner, and the rockets in the sky were fired into the barracks from the northeast and southwest........

Liu Yi has the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, which is a habit developed by many years of farming life, he fell asleep not long after dark, and he would get up at the fourth watch.

At the first watch, the whole camp was asleep, and when the alarm bell rang, dozens of large tents had been ignited, and the fire spread rapidly, with the help of the river wind blowing from Liangshanbo, the fire burned more rapidly.

The soldiers were awakened and shouted and ran out of the tents, many barefoot, and they fled in terror in the direction of the gate.

Liu Yi was also woken up by his own soldiers, "General, hurry up, something is wrong, the camp is on fire!" ”

Liu Yi sat up in fright and asked in a trembling voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't know!" The camp was full of fire, and it was in chaos.

At this time, Liu Yi heard the crying outside, his handsome tent was located in the middle of the camp, and the crying sound from outside meant that the fire had burned, he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and got out of bed to look for shoes everywhere, "Where are my shoes?" ”

Several pro-soldiers rushed in and shouted: "The fire is burning, the general is leaving!" ”

Liu Yi didn't care about looking for shoes, and was set up out of the camp by several personal soldiers, only to see that the fire outside was monstrous, and the whole sky was reflected red by the fire, and groups of soldiers cried and ran to this side, they all fled to the east, and there was the gate of the barracks, and there was no fire.

Liu Yi was helped onto the war horse by his own soldiers, urging the horse to flee, "Dodge, the person in front of him dodge!" Their own soldiers shouted loudly and opened the way in front, and their horses kept knocking the soldiers over.

Suddenly, a soldier who had been knocked over got up from the ground, he raised his spear in anger, threw it with all his might, and stabbed Liu Yi into his vest fiercely......

At this time, 10,000 Song soldiers had surrounded the camp, especially outside the east gate of 3,000 soldiers, they were like a rain of arrows, shooting intensively at the fleeing Qi soldiers, and the corpses of the Qi soldiers were piled up like a hill outside the gate.

But the scorching fire still made countless soldiers rush out of the camp one after another, and countless soldiers even cried and crawled out, begging for mercy, but it was useless, they still died under the ruthless arrows of the Song army.

War is so cruel, either you die or I live, there is no room for too much mercy, since the moment the soldiers put on armor and go to the battlefield, their fate has been sealed, either they return to their hometowns in triumph, or die on the battlefield.
