Yang Ye said: "The armies of our middle and east roads will not move first. The Western Route Army was dispatched first. Wait for the Western Route Army to take Ruzhou and Juyong Pass, Deshengkou and other passes, cut off the throat of the military capital, so that the Liao army iron cavalry can not go south to reinforce, at that time, we will start to attack, first seize Bazhou, Jizhou, Shunzhou, Danzhou and other states and counties near Youzhou, complete the encirclement of Youzhou, and then concentrate superior forces to attack Youzhou. Take it down! The key to the whole battle situation lies in whether the Western Route Army can successfully capture Juyongguan and other military capitals, and successfully block the reinforcements of the Liao army. ”

Leng Yi said in a deep voice: "Can the Western Route Army complete the task?" ”

Yang Ye nodded: "There should be no problem." The Western Route Army numbered 150,000 men and was commanded by my eldest son, second son, and third son. The eldest son, Yang Yanyu, is old, the second son Yang Yanpu is shrewd, and the third son, Yang Yanxun, is very brave. The three of them are arguably the best of my seven sons. So sent on the most important Western Route Army. I have faith in them. ”

"Hmmm! The Yang family will be famous and praised by the world, and they will definitely live up to their expectations. ”

In fact, the Yang family was famous in the later anti-Liao war, and at this time, Yang Ye and his seven sons surrendered to the Song Dynasty not long ago, and there were not many outstanding military exploits, and many people did not even know their existence. Therefore, what Leng Yi said was praised by the world, which made Yang Ye feel a little surprised and grateful, and to his ears, this was a great trust in their Yang family.

As a general who had just surrendered, when he received such reuse and trust, Yang Ye was extremely moved in his heart, and he knelt down on one knee in his battle robe. hugged his fists and said: "My Yang family can meet a wise commander like Marshal Leng, it is really fortunate that my Yang family is happy, and my Yang family is up and down." In this life and this life, following the command of Commander Leng, his liver and brain are smeared, his body and bones are broken, and he will not give up! ”

Leng Yi hurriedly helped him up and said, "I, Leng Yi, am really fortunate to have the Yang family general to follow." The Great Song Dynasty has Yang generals. It's also a great blessing! Old Linggong, without further ado, pass the order! ”

"The last general commands!"

Present. Yang Ye personally came to Baozhou, where Yang Dalang of the Western Route Army was stationed, conveyed the instructions, and said that the commander Leng Yi attached great importance to the high trust of their Yang generals, and told the three sons to live up to their expectations. Resolutely complete the combat mission!

Yang Dalang and the other three were all enthusiastic. He immediately received his order and vowed to live up to the trust. Subsequently, he led the troops to the vast Taihang Mountains.

After winter, the Yanjing area quickly became cold. Because the Western Route Army was advancing secretly, there was no news of them. Originally, after they captured Juyong Pass, Deshengkou and other passes, they notified the Middle Route Army and the East Route Army to launch a strong attack on Youzhou. But after waiting for half a month, there was no news. According to the route, they should have arrived at Juyong Pass.

The weather is already very cold. If it drags on any longer, it will become more and more detrimental to the siege. After Leng Yi and Yang Ye discussed. It was decided to send spies to Juyong Pass to investigate.

The Liao army did not make any movement, nor did they go out of the city to call for war, as if they were patiently waiting for the arrival of winter. During this time, the spies of the Song army were not able to hear more new news, because Youzhou City, Shunzhou, Danzhou, Qizhou and other cities were all closed with city gates, neither going to war, nor allowing the people to enter and exit. There was no way for the spies to get in and investigate.

Leng Yi couldn't get the news of the enemy's army, so he was very anxious, and decided to go out in person and explore Youzhou City first.

After dark that day, he called Zhao Hongyu and Bai Hong and said his thoughts.

Zhao Hongru's eyes widened: "Absolutely not!" The walls of Youzhou City are very high and straight, and even I can't climb them, let alone you! ”

Bai Hong also said: "Yes, the Liao army is heavily defended, and there is no way to go up at all." Especially the city wall, I have been to Youzhou City, and there is really no way to climb it. ”

Leng Yixi said: "Have you two been there?" Then you two should know the basic situation in the city? ”

"Of course I do." Zhao Hongrust said.

"Where is the barracks?"

"Yes!"

Bai Hong also nodded.

"Great! Then I have more confidence. Leng Yi smiled and said, "Your martial arts are higher than mine, but when it comes to climbing, you are definitely not my opponent." As long as the city wall is built of bricks, there will be some gaps, and as long as there are gaps, I can climb up! ”

Zhao Hongyu sneered: "Don't brag!" Who believes! ”

Leng Yi beckoned them to come out and went to the wall of the yamen. Pointing to the wall, he said, "The wall of Youzhou City should be similar to this, right?" ”

Zhao Hongrust said: "The slope is a little slower, not much is about the same." ”

"Can you go up this wall?"

Zhao Hongyu looked up: "The wall is almost two zhang high, and I can't go up with my bare hands, unless I use a flying rope." ”

Bai Hong also nodded: "Yes, you can only use the zipline." However, the city wall of Youzhou is many times higher than this, and it can't be thrown with a flying rope, let alone the Liao army defending it. ”

Leng Yi said: "You watch! ”

Leng Yi took off his shoes, grabbed the gap in the wall, like a gecko, and climbed up slowly, little by little.

Zhao Hongyu and Bai Hong's eyes were straight, and they couldn't imagine that Leng Yi still had this hand.

If there was no crossing before, Leng Yi would not have been able to do this. It's just that the deep passage has greatly exerted his physical potential. His strength, speed, and physical coordination and acuity have all improved dramatically. The power between the fingers is also far stronger than before. This is something that no one else can do.

Watching Leng Yi climb the high wall, sit on it, and smile at them proudly. Both were stunned.

Zhao Hongrust pursed his lips and said, "Can you still climb down?" ”

Bai Hong gave him a roll of the eyes: "Why do you want to climb down?" You don't know how to use ropes! ”

Zhao Hongrust whispered: "I just want to embarrass him, lest he be so proud!" He looked up at Leng Yi again and said, "You come down, if you have the ability, you can climb down!" Hehe, no. It's easy to go up and hard to come down! ”

Leng Yi smiled, turned over and was afraid again, only to see that his fingers and toes were like steel cones, and he firmly buckled the gap in the wall, and his whole body was flat against the wall, moving down little by little, although the posture was ugly, the effect was actually very good. After a while, he climbed underneath.

When Leng Yi landed, Bai Hong said happily: "You are really amazing!" I thought you were a bit of a fluke, but now, I think you're really much better than me. If you have this hand, I won't. ”

"Don't say you won't, and neither will I!" Zhao Hongyu said a little depressedly, "Don't talk about me, I think in this world, except for him who has this ability, no one will have it." - Hey, I said you wouldn't have been a stinky gecko in your previous life, would you? ”

Bai Hong Meizi glared at him: "Did you say that about your grandson-in-law?" Disrespectful for the old. ”

"I'm complimenting him!"

Leng Yi said: "Yes, yes, if you think it's okay, let's go, right?" ”

Bai Hong said: "Is it really necessary to go?" ”

"Yes!" Leng Yi said in a deep voice: "Our Western Route Army has been sending troops for half a month, and judging from the distance, it should already be attacking Juyong Pass. Once the Juyong Pass is defeated, our side will immediately start attacking Youzhou City. However, we don't know anything about the city defense situation in Youzhou City. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the enemy is invincible, so finding out the enemy's situation is the most important work before the battle, and now the gates of Youzhou City have been closed, and our spies can't enter to investigate the situation. I wanted to take the plunge and dive in. Originally, I wanted to go in alone. But Youzhou City is too big, and I haven't been to Youzhou, and I can't explore many places by myself. The two of you have very high martial arts skills, and you are relatively familiar with Youzhou, so the three of us will be able to quickly find out what we need to know. And they also take care of each other. ”

Zhao Hongyu thought for a while and said, "Okay, since you said so, there is some truth, I just go with you, Bai Hong won't go!" ”

"I'm going!" Bai Hong said: "I don't worry about my officials!" ”

Zhao Hongrust glared and said, "What about me?" I'm you...... It's your grandfather! ”

"You have great skills, no one needs to worry!" Bai Hong said lightly. Although she recognized Zhao Hongrust, she still couldn't fully accept it emotionally. It's so salty and not light to talk a lot.

Zhao Hongrust was so angry that he blew his beard and said, "Okay, let's go together!" ”

When Leng Yi came this time, he estimated that he might climb the city to investigate. So he brought a set of tools for rock climbing. Now that came out and called them the main climbing knowledge. Although Bai Hong is also a master of using ropes to climb, the skills of the two are completely different, this time Leng Yi is the leader, he told Bai Hong what he did, and the two had a tacit understanding. And Zhao Hongrust doesn't know this kind of rope climbing, listening to Leng Yi's head is Tao, he was very surprised: "Where did you know this?" ”

"When I was a child, I was very naughty and liked to climb mountain cliffs, which was taught to me by an old herb picker." Leng Yi said casually.

After the three of them were ready, they didn't tell Yang Ye or let the guards know, they just left a note and went out quietly.

The three of them rode out of the city and galloped forward in the night. From Zhuozhou to Youzhou, because they are all endless plains, it is only three or four hours away on horseback, so when they are about four o'clock at night, they will also arrive outside Youzhou City.

In the night, Youzhou City is like a huge ghost, quietly towering on the dark horizon.

They tied their horses to a large tree in the wilderness. Then, taking advantage of the night, he approached Youzhou City on foot.

Near the moat, they found a wide antler barrier. It is said to be a deer's antler, but it is actually a branch similar to a deer's antler, which is uneven and buried in the ground, more than half a person's height, and is used to block the advance of the cavalry and infantry of the attacking side. It is about ten zhang wide. Dense and criss-crossed.

These barriers are a big obstacle for ordinary soldiers, but for Leng Yi and the three super masters, there are basically no obstacles. They quickly passed the antler barrier. Approached the moat. (To be continued......)
