All invaders will not be willing to accept their own defeat, the Liao army marshal Yu Lu Beiyong learned the lesson of the first two defeats, decided to organize a death squad of 500 people at night, touch the river at night, and give the enemy a surprise attack.

As night fell, all the good and ugly were covered up in the darkness, until the drum beat the third watch, and in an open place in front of the Liao army camp, Yu Lu Beiyong carefully selected five hundred Liao soldiers who were agile and brave in battle.

In order not to expose the target, although this is a place where the Song army can't see it at all, Yu Lu Beiyong still didn't let people light lanterns and torches.

Everyone stood in line in the dark.

Yu Lu Beiyong stepped forward to the team with heavy steps, and said in a low voice: "Brothers, you are all the warriors of my Daliao, everyone has seen the battle during the day, because of the cunning of the enemy, our army has suffered heavy losses in two consecutive attacks, and the lives of a thousand brothers who have been put in vain, even the general of the left army, Tie Huyaer, has unfortunately fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the head is also hung on the flagpole by those hateful southern barbarians, where they are exposed to the wind and rain and the sun. This is really a great shame for our Liao army, so tonight, you brothers will risk their lives to break into the enemy's position and take down the river embankment as a bridgehead for us to break through Xiongzhou City. ”

Five hundred Liao soldiers said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid! ”

Yu Lu Beiyong nodded happily when he heard this: "Okay! Bring the wine! “

The pro-soldier guards who followed Yu Lu Beiyong hurriedly brought several large jars of wine, and five hundred and one large bowls, and filled each bowl with wine.

Yu Lu Beiyong took the lead in picking up a big bowl and said, "Come on!" The brethren took up all the bowls"

All 500 Liao soldiers took up their wine bowls.

Yu Lubei said bravely: "Come!" Cheers, warriors! May you kill all those southern barbarians and return triumphantly. He drank it all down.

The five hundred Liao soldiers also drank it all.

Yu Lu Beiyong shouted: "March!" “

A commander who led the team, with a wave of his hand, five hundred Liao soldiers each with a wooden stick the thickness of a finger in their mouth, turned around and ran towards the river.

He had a wooden stick on his mouth, because he was afraid of making a sound.

Five hundred people were armed with special scimitars of the Liao Kingdom, and quietly came to the beach, and the commander first stood cautiously behind the willow bushes and carefully observed the opposite bank, and then listened carefully with his ears sideways, and then said in a low voice: "Cross the river!" “

Five hundred Liao soldiers jumped into the river and waded to the opposite bank.

Tonight, it was overcast, and I saw a figure three or four steps away from the opposite side. I only heard the sound of the river and the sad cry of the autumn cicadas.

The Liao army in the river tried to wade lightly as much as possible, so as not to alarm the defenders on the opposite bank.

The distance of three or four zhang wide was reached, wading through the deep water in the center of the river, approaching the shore, and taking a few steps forward, the Song army on the shore seemed to be sleeping deeply, and no one noticed that the danger was quietly approaching.

Seeing that the one in front was about to cross the riverbank, the commander of the Liao army led the team secretly rejoiced in his heart, damn the southern barbarians, you never dreamed that our Great Liao warriors were about to touch your bed.

In the blink of an eye, everyone had already landed, and the commander waved his hand and said, "Quick." Seize the embankment! “

The soldiers raised their feet and ran to the beach, and each of them took the lead. At this moment, I suddenly heard a string of bells "Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell".

It turned out that the soldiers of the Song army followed Ding Qian's instructions and pulled a long rope away from the beach in advance, and bells were tied to the ropes, but they happened to be touched by the death squad of the Liao army.

The commander of the Liao army saw that the sneak attack had failed, but he had already stepped on the beach, how could he easily retreat, so he shouted hoarsely with the scimitar in his hand: "Rush!" The one who rushed up the embankment first, was promoted to centurion, and was rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. “

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, five hundred Liao troops heard the howl of "wow, yes", rushed to the embankment, and saw that they were about to pounce under the embankment, and suddenly a team of Song soldiers who stood up on the embankment lit the torch in their hands and threw it under the embankment, and the bottom of the embankment suddenly "swooped" and ignited a sea of fire, and the Liao army that rushed to the embankment jumped straight high. When some Liao soldiers saw that they were on fire, they did not retreat, and climbed up the river embankment with flames all over their bodies, wanting to die with the Song army, but they all became live targets for the Song army's archers.

The Liao army saw that the front could not be attacked, so they had to turn around and jump into the river with "poof, puff, tom", trying to extinguish the fire with water, but they did not know that the fire of the Song army was caused by the tung oil buried in advance, and the oil still burned more and more violently when it met the water, and soon some Liao troops who jumped into the river were burned into charcoal with a scream.

The commander who was walking behind saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly led the surviving dozen Liao soldiers to desperately run back to the opposite bank.

Yu Lu Beiyong, the marshal of the Liao Army, who was standing on the opposite bank waiting for news, just saw the fire on the other side, and his heart was secretly screaming that it was not good and he was fooled. Then there was a burst of screams.

Yu Lubei bravely looked up to the sky and howled sadly: "Oh my God! Then he sat down on the damp sand with his head in his hands.

The sneak attack tactics carefully planned by him failed and nearly 500 lives were put in. This is really stealing chickens and rice, and this rice is all the blood of the Daliao warriors!

Several pro-soldiers walked to Yu Lu Beiyong's side, helped him up, and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

After walking the big tent of the Chinese army, Yu Lu Beiyong kicked a stool away, and then ripped off a map hanging on the wall of the tent, threw it on his feet and stomped on it fiercely: "I don't believe that a small Xiongzhou city can stop my Yu Lu Beiyong's iron horse!" “

He's going to organize a more ferocious attack.

After repelling the three attacks of the Liao army, Xiongzhou City finally ushered in the arrival of 100,000 imperial troops led by Marshal Yang Zongbao, and the entire Xiongzhou City was boiling.

People poured out of their homes to see the 100,000-strong army entering the city, which can really be said to be empty.

The arrival of 100,000 elite soldiers led by Yang Zongbao made the people of Xiongzhou City even more relieved, and many people who fled outside the city moved back, and the shops that had been closed opened one after another, and the whole Xiongzhou City showed a full vitality.

Although peace has not yet really arrived, people have seen the dawn of peace, and the common people are waiting for peace and war with their own way of life and attitude.

Either way, the important thing is to survive and live.

The small city of Xiongzhou suddenly came with an army of 100,000, which could accommodate so many soldiers and horses. So Yang Zongbao arranged 30,000 horses to assist the original defenders at the river embankment in the north of the city, and formed a confrontation with the confronting Liao army.

50,000 horses were stationed in the open space outside the south gate of the city, and 20,000 horses were scattered on the surrounding city walls, so that the entire Xiongzhou City could be said to be impregnable.

After all arrangements were made, Marshal Yang Zongbao held the first military meeting of the Chinese army stationed in Xiongzhou City in the big tent of the Chinese army outside the south gate of the city.

In addition to the generals led by Yang Zongbao, Zhang Zhifu of Xiongzhou City, He Yong, the supervisor of soldiers and horses, and Xu Gang, the regimental training envoy, also attended the meeting as observers.

At the meeting, Marshal Yang Zongbao said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Yang Zongbao led 100,000 troops to the border pass this time in accordance with the holy decree of Long Live this time, and its purpose is to wipe out the Liao army that came to attack this time under the city of Xiongzhou in one fell swoop, and then wait for the opportunity to carry out a counterattack and drive the Liao army to the desert. I wonder what you think? ”

The vanguard general Jiao Meng said: "Marshal! The last general thought that after three confrontations, our army had inflicted heavy losses on the Liao army, dealt a severe blow to their arrogance, and the Liao army on the other side had no sharpness, so the last general thought that we would strike while the iron was hot and attack immediately. ”

Yang Zongbao listened and asked Ding Qiandao: "Then what do you think of the adults who joined the army!" ”

When Yang Zongbao entered the city, he listened to Zhang Zhifu and Jiao Meng's reports on the battle situation in these days, and knew that these three victories were the result of Ding Qian's strategy, so he asked Ding Qian's opinion.

Ding Qian shook his head and said, "Marshal, the last general thinks that it is too early to counterattack at this time. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent from ancient times is the only way to survive a hundred battles. At present, although after three confrontations, our army does have the upper hand, but the Liao army, which is bound to kill and wound only less than 2,000 people, the main force of the Liao army is still there, and it is possible that they will increase their troops here at present. Therefore, at present, our army can only wait and see what happens, and look for favorable opportunities. ”

Yang Zongbao said: "This is inevitable, if the enemy situation is unknown, a rash counterattack will backfire, and if it is not done well, it will lose the army, it is better to be cautious!" ”

Jiao Meng said: "Everyone is so afraid of tigers and wolves, what kind of general is he called!" Besides, it is better to wait and see what happens, or to be cautious, if we continue to consume it for a long time, how much grain and grass will be spent, and if the supply is not timely, our army will be defeated without a fight. ”

Yang Zongbao pondered for a moment and said, "General Jiao is also very reasonable, but the most important thing at the moment is that the enemy situation is unknown. ”

Ding Qian said: "This is easy to do, we can send a detailed work to the other side of the strait to investigate." ”

Yang Zongbao nodded and said, "This idea is so good, but go there to find such a meticulous one." ”

Jiao Meng laughed and said: "Haha, can't you pick out a few small works among the 100,000 troops!" No, I'll go with Lao Jiao. ”

Yang Zongbao smiled and said, "General Jiao, just like you, I'm afraid that people will find out just after you go ashore." This meticulous work is not something that anyone can do, first, you must be bold and careful, second, you must understand the Khitan dialect, third, you must have rich military knowledge, and fourth, you must be strong in martial arts. ”

Jiao Meng shook his head and said: "So my old Jiao is really not that material, if you say that you are bold, I am the fattest, but I can't talk about being careful." ”

At this time, Ding Qian said: "Marshal, how about you see the last general going to the territory of the Liaoren!" ”

Yang Zongbao looked at Ding Qian and said: "Lord Joining, you meet the first three of the four conditions, but your martial arts are not good, how to get out if you encounter danger." ”

Xu Gang, the training envoy of the Xiongzhou regiment, said: "Marshal, the last general is willing to be the bodyguard of the adults who joined the army, and protect the adults who joined the army all the way." ”

Yang Zongbao looked at Xu Gang and didn't say anything, because he didn't know how Xu Gang's martial arts were!

Governor Zhang stepped forward and said: "Marshal, I think it is okay for Xu Gang to accompany the army to go, and I dare not say that Xu Tuan's martial arts are practiced in other places, but here in Xiongzhou is second to none." In addition, he has been in Xiongzhou for a long time, and he is also very familiar with some customs of the Liao people. ”

Yang Zongbao thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll send Yang Kai to accompany the two of you again, Yang Kai's martial arts are strong, especially the exquisite archery technique, so that it can be foolproof." ”

Ding Qian, Xu Gang bowed to Yang Zongbao and said, "Thank you for the marshal's care." ”

Yang Zongbao said: "No thanks, the two of you are really brave and loyal to the country and the people, hurry up and make some necessary preparations!" ”
