CHAPTER XXVI

Huliai had already braved the wind and snow to grope his way through the night with five hundred Jurchen cavalry, and the order he received was simple, to find the prince of the Song people and kill him. But half a night has passed, and the convoy of the Prince of Song who has broken away from the escort army has not yet been found, which makes Juliai very anxious.

Because he knew that the army of the Dao sent not only their cavalry, but several detachments, who could get back the head of the prince of the Song people, he was immediately promoted to the third rank and became a commander of a thousand commanders, and the bounty was five hundred taels of gold, plus three hundred house slaves. In Huliai's experience, the Song army was cowardly and cowardly, and when they saw them, they could only run, and according to the report of the scouts, this convoy only had more than 100 people, which was simply the credit of sending them to the door.

It is not arrogant for Juliai to think so, because in February of this year he had made a name for himself by doing a big job in Cizhou, not far ahead. At that time he was just a small sentry commander. On the order of the marshal, he led sixteen cavalry from Bianjing back to Shangjing to report the situation at the front. When they reached Cizhou, the garrison of Cizhou ordered the defenders, together with 2,000 villagers, to intercept them.

Hu Liai and Cizhou Commander explained that the two countries had negotiated peace, and that his seventeen people were ordered by the second prince Han to return to China to deliver the news. However, the Song army guard said that he had not received any news from the imperial court at all, and did not believe his statement at all, but said that the most important instruction he received was to let them cooperate with the Western army to cover up and kill the Jurchens in the back, and said that they might be the defeated Jin army!

Facing the 2,000 Song troops that surrounded him, Hu Liai was also a little scared, after all, the other party was a hundred times his own, but now there was no way to retreat, so he could only fight. He divided the only seventeen men into three roads, and seven people in the front. There are five people on each side of the left and right roads. With the determination to die, Hu Liai rushed straight into the Song army's formation, and then advanced and fired his bow. A scene that made him unforgettable for the rest of his life appeared. The Song army actually collapsed under the fire of seventeen of them, and the officers and soldiers retreated one after another. Rushed the village soldiers behind.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Song army's formation, Hu Liai rushed into battle, and the Song army did not resist at all, retreated frantically, trampled on each other, and more than half of the 2,000 people were killed and wounded, and were easily defeated by 17 of them. Juliai became famous in this battle, and was promoted from sentry commander to centurion, and since then in his heart, the Song army is a group of sheep to be slaughtered, and he is very dissatisfied with the marshal sending so many people to besiege and kill a convoy of 100 people!

But the convoy seems to have disappeared. Juliai sent men to search the official road, but found no trace of the convoy, and the sudden snowfall covered all traces and made them nowhere to be found. Could it be that they hid somewhere because of the heavy snow, waiting for dawn before leaving? Suddenly thinking of this, Juliai ordered the scouts to pay attention to the places on both sides of the road where they could camp...

Ba Zhou was ordered to be stationed on the earthen beam on the east side of the camp, and he had the soldiers hide in the cat's ear holes in the leeward part of the camp and serve as an observation post himself. Now he is no longer an ordinary big soldier, although he is only a sub-captain of the special operations team of the Guards Brigade, and there are only fifty soldiers under his command. But he is now a right martial artist, and he is in the thirty-fourth rank of the sixty ranks of the Great Song military attachés.

He wears a warm cashmere jacket with a leather jacket and a face mask on his face. Under his feet were thick felt boots, and he didn't feel particularly cold when he grew up in the northwest, and he rolled up his mask. The snow obscured his vision, and he could only try to discern the unusual sound from the howling wind.

'Click...' The utterly empty ears suddenly caught a string of slight sounds. Like the sound of horses' hooves walking on snow, he hurriedly swept the snow off the ground. Pressing his whole face to the ground, the sound of horses' hooves immediately sounded in his ears, "There are no less than five hundred horsemen, and it is only three hundred steps from the camp!" Wu Wu quickly made a judgment, but he knew that the people from the Dao Dao had not yet discovered the camp hidden in the woods.

"Enemy attack, prepare for battle!" Quan Wuji looked at the official road, and saw a few looming fires, this must be the torches lit by someone who came, although there were only a few, but he knew that this was the first person to explore the way, and there was a large group of people behind him, and Wu Wu quickly woke up the men in the cave...

"Second master, second master!" Zhao Ta, who was sleeping soundly in the car, was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door, and he crawled up.

"What's the matter?" Miki, who was sleeping by the door, had already lit the lamp and asked in a low voice.

"Hey, there's a team of Jin Jun coming, get up!" Erwa's anxious voice came from outside the door.

"How many are there?" Seeing that he wanted to ask again, the prince was already dressed neatly, opened the door and asked.

"Second master, I have just reconnoitred, there are about five hundred people, all of them are cavalry, and they are only two hundred steps away from our camp!" Erwa replied.

"Why did you report so closely?" Jianxi said with some annoyance, such a close distance, as long as they move, they will be discovered by the enemy, and it must be too late to transfer now.

"The snow is too big, and the enemy only found out when they approached!" Erwa said with some shame, "Second master, I will lead people to block the enemy here, you ride a horse and go quickly." ”

"Where do you let me go in this snowstorm? Just 500 people will scare you! Zhao Ta said disdainfully, he got out of the car, pushed away the second baby in front of him, squinted and looked in the direction of the enemy, but could only see the hazy firelight.

"Second master, we are not afraid, what we are afraid of is that the prince will be harmed!" The second baby hurriedly followed and said.

"I'm not muddy, papery, and it's not so easy to hurt me!" Zhao Tan chuckled.

"Second master, I'm worried that this is just the vanguard of the Jin Army, and there is a large group of Jin Army coming behind!" Erwa said worriedly.

"No, now it's almost dawn, and it's too late for the Jin Army to transfer troops, and if the Jin Army of the brigade moves, they will definitely find out about the high favorites in Linzhang, so this is just the Jin Army of the squad!" Zhao said, "The enemy has not yet discovered our camp, so let's get ready for battle, and then lure them over." They want to sneak up on us, so let's catch him off guard! ”

"Second master, we can't hide now, what are you still provoking them for?" Seeing that Xi was crying and said with a sad face, isn't the prince looking for trouble?

"Do as you are told, clean them up, and we will do our work in this game of chess!" Zhao Tan smiled, the excuse he couldn't find fell on the head of this team of golden soldiers, and he couldn't let go of the ones sent to the door...

Juliai finally spotted the convoy in the shadows, and the other party did not seem to be aware of their arrival, and he ordered the fire extinguisher to quietly approach, ready to launch a surprise attack. Fifty paces away from the camp, he saw clearly the camp surrounded by carts, and with a wave of his hand, a dozen or so cavalrymen immediately flew forward and prepared to overturn the carriage with the lasso in their hands, and the rest was slaughtered!
