Chapter 227: Mountain Rain is Coming
Ding Qian looked at Yang Zongbao and said: "Marshal, it is really my fault that Yang Kai was trapped in Youzhou City this time, I shouldn't be too careless, so I attracted the attention of others and went to the county prince's mansion to report the secret, so the county prince led his own soldiers to catch up after we left the city."

Yang Zongbao said: "Lord of the army, this trip to Youzhou, the information can be obtained." ”
Ding Qian nodded and said, "Marshal, fortunately, the information on the mission has been collected, and it is all in Xu Tuanlian's head!" ”
Xu Gang sat up from the bed and said, "Marshal, the last general will tell you the information." ”
Yang Zongbao said: "Wait, wait a while, immediately convene a military meeting, when the time comes, you will tell you the information, we must work together to come up with effective countermeasures against the enemy." Saying that, Yang Zongbao came to the outside of the big tent of the Chinese army and said to Yang Ji, a personal soldier: "Yang Ji, beat the drum and gather the generals!" ”
Yang Ji said in surprise: "Ah, why did the marshal gather the generals in the middle of the night, everyone is resting and sleeping." ”
Yang Zongbao smiled bitterly: "Ben Shuai also wants everyone to rest more, but can the Liao army let us rest well, the military situation is urgent, hurry up and beat the drum to gather the generals." ”
Yang Ji said: "Yes! He turned around and ran towards the drum set, just ran two steps, stopped and turned around and asked Yang Zongbao: "Marshal, did you ask the Lord who joined the army, how is Brother Yang Kai!" ”
Yang Zongbao said loudly: "Yang Ji, don't worry, Yang Kai only temporarily fell into the hands of the King of Youzhou City, and his life is not in danger." ”
Yang Ji said happily: "That's good." Saying that, he ran to the drum rack and picked up the drumstick, and his round arms "dong dong dong" beat the cowhide drum, and in the quiet night, the drum made a earth-shattering sound, and the generals hurriedly ran out of their respective tents and poured into the big tent of the Chinese army.
The vanguard general Jiao Meng said: "Marshal, the Liao army has come to attack the city!" ”
Yang Zongbao shook his head and said: "No, it was the adults who joined the army and they rushed back from Youzhou City, and I will gather everyone in the big tent to listen to the information they brought back." ”
Jiao Meng yawned and said, "Hey! If you have any information, the generalissimo, listen to it, and make a decision, and pass it on, how you arrange it, and what we who are generals will do. ”
Yang Zongbao said: "Then how can it be, a person's wisdom has limitations, only when everyone discusses together, can we come up with a good strategy against the enemy, three stinkers, top Zhuge Liang!" ”
Jiao Meng smiled and said: "Hehe, marshal, I can't be Zhuge Liang who is strategizing with a feather fan, Lao Jiao can only be the fierce Zhang Fei who charges into battle, as long as you have a plan, I will definitely let those Liao dogs have no return." ”
Yang Zongbao patted Jiao Meng's shoulder and said, "Okay, what the two armies need in front of the battle is a brave general like you." Only wise men in the army can't do it, only brave people can't do it, and you must have both wisdom and courage to defeat the Liao army. ”
Jiao Meng said with a grin: "This old Jiao still understands." ”
At this time, all the generals had already gathered, and Yang Zongbao turned to everyone and said, "Generals, because the military situation is urgent, I will disturb everyone's sleep." ”
The generals said in unison: "Marshal, the enemy is current, and the last generals are already arrows on the string. You can shoot anytime, anywhere. “
Yang Zongbao nodded with satisfaction, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you so much." As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Ding Qian and Xu Gang beside him: "Everyone, the reason why I woke everyone up in the middle of the night tonight is mainly because the army and Xu Tuanjie risked their lives to bring back the emergency military situation from Youzhou. Speaking of this, he stretched out his hand to Xu Gangyi and said, "Xu Tuanlian, please!" ”
Xu Gang didn't hesitate to stand up, walked to the large military map hanging on the wall of the tent, picked up a wooden stick and pointed at Youzhou City: "Everyone, at present, Youzhou City has gathered 150,000 Liao troops. ”
When the generals heard this, they all exchanged their heads and said: "Why are there so many Liao troops!" ”
"Yes, our army is 100,000, and the 150,000 troops dispatched by the Liao army, plus the Liao army on the opposite side, then the enemy is a full 200,000 men and horses, and this battle is not easy to fight."
Jiao Meng slapped the table and said: "What's the great thing about the 200,000 horses of the Liao army, we have passed, they are attacking, the location is in my favor, what is so terrible about waiting for work." ”
Yang Zongbao waved his hand and said, "General Jiao, don't be impatient, first listen to Xu Tuanlian's information on the enemy." ”
Jiao Meng also quieted down.
Xu Gang continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, the soldiers and horses of the Liao army who came here are the elite troops selected from all over the country, and we must not underestimate the enemy, the Liao army that came to attack this time is divided into 100,000 iron cavalry, and 50,000 raiders who are good at fighting tough battles, and their purpose is to solve the problem of follow-up supply and supply. Speaking of this, Xu Gang paused and continued: "Everyone, do you know who the marshal of the Liao army is this time!" ”
Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Xu Gang said: "This time the marshal of the Liao army is Yulu Mengda, although everyone feels a little unfamiliar with his name, but this Yulu Mengda's father is the famous general Yu Lusha of the Liao State, and it is Yu Lusha who besieged Yang Lao Linggong in the golden sand beach of the Two Wolf Mountains, Yu Lu Mengda has followed his father Yu Lusha to fight in the south and north since he was a child, it can be said that he has been in battle for a long time, and the marching formation is very good, everyone must not be careless to underestimate the enemy. ”
The pioneer general Jiao Meng said: "What's so great about Yulu Mengda, this little one came this time, just to give us a chance to take revenge, take this opportunity to kill him under Xiongzhou City, and also avenge Yang Laoling's gazette." ”
Yang Zongbao glanced at Jiao Meng and said, "General Jiao, don't be impatient, let Xu Tuanlian finish speaking." ”
Xu Gang nodded and continued: "Yu Lu Mengda came to Xiongzhou this time with the heart of imperativeness, he divided 150,000 horsemen into three routes, 40,000 soldiers and horses on the east and west roads, and was responsible for attacking the east and west gates of Xiongzhou City, and he himself led 70,000 main forces to attack the south gate of Xiongzhou City. At the same time, the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State also collected 300,000 people to transport grain and grass supplies to the Liao army attacking Xiongzhou. The war is not trivial, and it is related to the luck of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
After listening to Xu Gang's introduction, the entire Chinese army tent was suddenly silent, and everyone fell into contemplation. Even the pioneer general Jiao Meng lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking!
