Chapter 11 The fog of early winter hid the army camp and set fire to the camp

However, he said that Yan Qing and the three stayed there for two or three days, only to see the fisherman come back and report: "In the northeast, there are many officers and soldiers guarding the big rivers, but there are several hidden rivers that have not been guarded by officials and soldiers. www.biquge.info Yan Qingqi said: "Are there many rivers leading to the big river in this Taihu Lake?" ”

Fei Bao said with a smile: "Brother northerner, but I don't know that we are a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are more than 70 large and small rivers on both sides of the northeast of Taihu Lake, which are mainly Loujiang River, Suzhou Creek and Chunshen River. But thinking about it, these three rivers must have already been overpowered, but the waterways are vertical and horizontal, how many places can he block? ”

Yan Qing was overjoyed and said: "Since there is this opportunity, I hope that the brothers will help." Fei Bao said: "Brother is relieved, this trip will definitely be successful." It's just that I can only take it by surprise here, breaking into the river from the intermittent waterway, and the army still needs to do it on the shore. ”

Yan Qing said: "This matter is on me, so I rushed to Suzhou to discuss with General Shi Bao." Fei Bao said: "Brother rest assured, brothers and others are waiting here." At that moment, Yan Qing left Li Kui and Pang Qiuxia to contact here, and he led several followers from the school and went straight to Suzhou.

Fei Bao sent someone to send him off by boat, he was proficient in waterways, and arrived in Suzhou in less than a day. When Yan Qing arrived in Suzhou, she went to Shibao Camp to ask for a meeting. Hearing that it was the king's cronies and generals who came to help, Shi Bao was pleasantly surprised, so he personally caught Yan Qing, and after a few words of greeting, he invited him to sit down in the tent.

When Yan Qing first saw this stone treasure, she saw that this stone treasure was about thirty years old, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, not angry and self-assured, short hair on the lips, and very sharp eyes. Shi Bao was also looking at Yan Qing, and seeing that Yan Qing was so talented, he was also secretly shocked.

After they all sat down, Shi Bao introduced the generals in the tent, and Yan Qing saluted them one by one, and then he said why. After Shi Bao listened quietly, he was overjoyed, slapped the table and said with a smile: "The king's decree has arrived early, and we also want to relieve the siege of Runzhou, but we have no other good plan, so we will not move." Today, I heard that General Yan's plan was like an initiation, and this plan was definitely feasible. ”

At that moment, Shi Bao said that he would do it, so he immediately gave the order, taught the three armies to prepare for the pull, marched in three ways, and covered it with great fanfare, thinking that it was a feint, specifically attracting the attention of the Song army, and selected three thousand water-based skilled soldiers to go with Yan Qing, and agreed that once Yan Qing succeeded, after setting fire to the Song army's Jinshan Grain Land, Shi Bao would wave his army here to counterattack.

Yan Qing led 3,000 military horses to the edge of Taihu Lake, and the fisherman from Fei Bao got the news, and immediately gathered 2 or 300 fishing boats, and more than 10 soldiers sat in one boat, and they gathered together in front of the village.

Seeing this, Fei Bao was slightly surprised: "It will take time to mobilize military horses, but I don't want to be so fast. Yan Qing praised: "That Shi Bao is also a good man, he made a decision immediately, he was very resolute, and he didn't doubt me, so he sent troops to transfer the army on the same day." Li Kui said: "How about the martial arts?" Yan Qing said with a smile: "I'm going to move troops, not to see martial arts." ”

Li Kui scratched his head and said, "I'll see it later." Pang Qiuxia patted Li Kui on the shoulder with a smile and said, "General Nanli is the first person in our army in martial arts, and my brother is not an opponent. Li Kui stuck out his tongue and said, "So powerful? I still don't know it. Everyone laughed.

At the moment, Yan Qing has three and four Fei Bao, a total of seven heroes, each sitting on a small boat, and the rest are fishermen and Fang La's soldiers, each hiding weapons, more than 300 small boats, all starting from the small port, taking the Taihu Lake waterway, penetrating into the river, and scattering to pick up the generals.

When the night moon was hidden and the stars were scarce, Fei Bao looked at the sky and said: "It is approaching early winter, there will be a thick fog in the morning, and when the fog is filled with the river, it is better to start a surprise attack." Yan Qing bowed his head and said: "If this is the case, there are official and military patrol ships on the river, so you will not be afraid." It's just that in the thick fog, I'm afraid that our ships will also lose their way. Fei Bao smiled: "I can walk a few times with my eyes closed on the waterway, my brother doesn't have to worry, Tianming sees my means." "At present, more than 300 small boats are ambushed in the waterway harbor, and here you can see the sky, all of them are reeds, not to mention hiding 300 small boats, even thousands of troops and horses can be hidden.

Sure enough, when the day dawned, the sky was still dark, the sun was gone, the cold wind blew on the river, the earth air and water vapor were mixed together, and the thick fog rose. Fei Bao led the way first, and led three hundred small boats into the river with the sound of partridges on the river.

The surrounding boats all listened to Fei Bao's partridge bird call, followed the sound, and never lost one, and Fei Bao was proficient in the river waterway, although it was in the thick fog, it actually walked without deviation, and sure enough, as he said, even with his eyes closed, he could walk a few times, and Yan Qing was greatly admired.

The three hundred boats quietly approached the surface of Jinshan Water, and the fishermen and Fangla soldiers on the boat were silent, only listening to the cry of Fei Bao's partridges, and the Song army on the shore was really unaware. After they all docked, Yan Qing got off the boat first, and Li Kui put on iron masks and changed armor, and the three thousand square soldiers went ashore and entered the Jinshan Tun Grain Camp of the Song Army together.

However, it was said that Wang Jin had been guarding here for three months, and there was no movement of the southern army, and his subordinates were lax, so he could only patrol the camp from time to time to remind. Early that morning, he brought up his iron lance and patrolled the camp as usual, but he did not want to go out of the tent, and he saw that there was a thick fog inside and outside the camp, and it was only within ten paces that he could distinguish the human form.

Seeing this, Wang Jin was taken aback, and hurriedly summoned the guide and asked, "Is there often such a thick fog here?" The guide said, "In the early winter, when the north wind has not yet arrived, but it is already cold, and the cold air drops, and the ground is mixed with water vapor, there is often a thick fog." Wang Jin asked, "When can we disperse?" The guide said, "Generally at noon, it disperses when the sun is high." ”

Wang Jin was shocked when he heard this, there were two or three hours at this time, such a thick fog, if the enemy was covering the attack, how could he know? When he was worried, he suddenly heard the sound of shouting and shouting from the outpost outside the camp, followed by the alarm signals, Wang Jin was shocked, and hurriedly sent people to inquire about the news, and ordered someone to ring the bangzi and order the soldiers to prepare for battle.

But after the bangzi sounded, the Song army was even more chaotic, just because in the dense fog, ten steps away could not see, the soldiers could not find the general, the soldiers could not find the soldiers, the command flag could not be used, and the troops could only be gathered with golden drums. When Wang Jin personally beat the drums and finally gathered one or two hundred people, he only heard the sound of killing from all sides, and the defeated army fled back from all directions, and they all cried and shouted to their mothers: "The thief army is coming, I don't know how many!" ”

Wang Jin was shocked, only to see that the camp was boiling everywhere, and he didn't know how many Fangla military horses had attacked the camp, so Wang Jin had to teach his three hundred ironclad troops to form a formation and wait for the enemy. But in the thick fog, all the people who came were their own defeated army, followed by more and more, and the formation of the three hundred ironclad army was also dispersed, and then I saw a Biao army and horses killed, all of them were wrapped in bright red turbans, greeting each other in their mouths, rampage, chasing and killing the Song army.

The Ironclad Army's formation was disrupted, and where was that group of opponents? Seeing that the momentum was not good, Wang Jin's subordinates hurriedly escorted Wang Jin to the south to fight their way out of the encirclement. The Song army was unprepared in the dense fog, and was killed in scattered pieces, scattering and escaping.

Besides, after Yan Qing and the others entered the camp, they used the whistle as the signal, and they were all wrapped in bright red turbans on their heads to identify them, and the southern army was familiar with this kind of dense fog, so they took advantage of it. Although there were many Song troops, they were not subordinate to each other, and it was difficult to resist, and they only fought for half an hour before they were dispersed.

Yan Qing and Li Kui led the two leading troops to kill the hearts of the big camp, and then Pang Qiuxia led five hundred fire-inducing military horses to arrive, and Yan Qing taught Pang Qiuxia to lead people to set fire everywhere. For a time, the fire was everywhere, the heat rose, the cold surged in all directions, and the wind helped the fire, and the Song army fled, and no one put out the fire.

At the foot of the whole Jinshan Mountain, it became a sea of fire, and all the military supplies and clothing, grain, grass, horses and straw hoarded by the Song army were burned, and the dense fog dissipated at noon, and the fire was even bigger, and the fire could be seen thirty miles away.

But said that Tong Guan was there, trapped in Runzhou for a long time, and he had been worried these days, only to hear Huanzhang's comfort, and said bluntly that but if the city is surrounded, the southern army will definitely come to the rescue, and it can besiege the city to help, and fight a decisive battle in one fell swoop.

On this day, I finally got the news of the horse, and the southern army took Shi Bao, the general of Nanli, as the marshal, and commanded 50,000 troops to relieve the siege, and the soldiers and horses went to Xiuzhou. Tong Guan was overjoyed, and immediately ordered all the troops and horses to prepare to go south to meet the enemy. But I didn't want the army to send out this morning, but it was foggy and the march was slow.

By noon, the fog dissipated, but saw the flames on the other side of Jinshan, Tong Guan and Wen Huanzhang were shocked, Tong Guan said: "I have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses grain and grass are there, if there is a loss, what can I do?" I had to go back to the army to save it. ”

At the moment, I had to urge the military horse to go back to the division to rescue, and I didn't want the military horse to come halfway, Shi Bao waved the army to kill from behind, and the Song army was caught off guard, and panicked to return to the division to Jinshan, and the situation was suddenly chaotic. Shi Bao had already taken advantage of the dense fog to bully the Song army, and at noon, when he saw the fire of Jinshan, Yan Qing released wolf smoke as a signal, and he knew that he had succeeded.

Shi Bao was ruthless with his troops, and immediately ordered the army and horses to go out in all directions to intercept the Song army. Shi Bao's military horses are familiar with the geographical advantages, immediately killed in front of them, stopped the head, cut the waist, cut the tail, the Song army brigade was scattered, broken into several sections, the head and tail can not take care of each other, the southern army went back and forth to kill, the Song army resisted for an hour, and then it was defeated.

Tong Guan was supported by the fierce generals under his command and fought his way out of the encirclement, Shi Bao led five hundred light horsemen to chase after him, but fortunately Zong Ze led the army and horses to meet him, so he was able to be saved. Shi Bao saw that the Song army had troops and horses to respond, so he led his troops to retreat slowly, and did not chase after him, and returned to the camp victoriously.

Back in the camp, Tong Guan counted the losses, and most of the 70,000 military horses that led to meet Fang La were broken, and all the military grain and grass on the Jinshan side were burned. Tong Guan jumped like thunder and asked Tan Zhi to blame, and Tan Zhi said: "It's all because the thief army took advantage of the thick fog to cover the attack from the river, so he was caught off guard." The one who guards that place is the king of the warm spring Zhizhai. ”

Tong Guan was furious, so he ordered Wang Jin to come to punish the crime, but he had to report that Wang Jin and several old generals under his command were missing in the chaotic army. Tong Guan sneered when he heard this: "I must have escaped in fear of crime, and I went to the sea to catch the documents and arrest them!" "I don't mention it.

After Yan Qing and others burned the grain and grass of the Song army, they retreated to the river by the same route, joined Fei Bao, and still retreated into the Taihu Lake. (To be continued.) )
