The night was too dark, and there was no moonlight, only some shaky black shadows could be seen, and from a distance, it was impossible to see clearly. Sure enough, it didn't take long for some Liao people to laugh and scold.

One by one, the black shadows on horseback slowly entered through the gap on the east side, and after a while, they basically entered the encirclement of Bao Qing.

At this time, Bao Qing was very nervous, but Cao Yun on the side was excited, but he didn't expect that all the Liao people had really entered the ambush circle, and now they were waiting for Bao Qing's order, and everyone was ready to fight.

No, we have to wait, wait for all the Liao people to dismount and camp, and they will be taken by surprise if they want to fight.

Sure enough, in the dark night, the figures swayed, and the Liao people jumped off their horses, laughing and scolding endlessly, this is the Liao people began to camp.

"My lord, will you release the arrows?" Zhang Longzhuo was a little excited, and asked in a low voice

"Wait a little longer, after the battle starts, you will lead someone to plug the gap on the east side!" Bao Qing commanded.

However, after a while, the camp tent of the Liao people was set up, some Liao people entered the camp tent, and some gathered the horses in a circle, and a group of people sat together and laughed and chatted.

The Liao people didn't dare to make a fire, and sent sentries in four directions at the same time, and Bao Qing could clearly hear the sentry's reluctant scolding.

At this point, there was no longer any waiting, in case the sentry came up, he might find the crossbowmen in ambush.

Bao Qing turned his head, nodded to Zhang Long, who was lying prone on the ground, and said, "Order, release the arrow!" ”

When Zhang Long heard this, he immediately raised his neck and used all his strength.

Suddenly, a long howl pierced the night sky.

Without waiting for the Liao people below to react, they only heard the whizzing crossbow arrows as dense as locusts, shooting directly into the hollow. This kind of condescending shooting was very efficient, and the horses on the periphery of the Liao people first fell in a large area, and the neighing of horses everywhere mixed with the screams of the Liao people, and the bloody atmosphere suddenly spread.

The Liao people who lost their horses were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, losing their fierce combat effectiveness, and this was definitely a massacre without resistance. Although some of them were victorious, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, who desperately shot arrows and desperately changed their arrow boxes, enjoyed this process very much.

"Zhang Long, you must plug the gap!" Bao Qing shouted.

At this time, many of the soldiers in ambush could not care less about lying down and stood up directly.

About half an hour later, the battle was basically over, and Bao Qing gave the order to go down and gradually narrow the encirclement, not letting go of a single Liao person.

At this time, Zhang Long walked over with a Mo knife in his hand, full of blood, looking a little excited, and said, "My lord, I didn't let one go!" There was a little leader of the Liao people who wanted to run, but I chased him for half a mile, and finally caught up. ”

"Where's Cao Yun?" Bao Qing asked.

Not long after, Cao Yun came over with a team of women's soldiers.

"Brother Bao, are you looking for me? Basically annihilated the Liao army, seven of our men were wounded and two were killed, and they were shot by the Liao's bows and arrows. Cao Yun said with a smile.

Bao Qing was very depressed, this time he started fighting, he patronized to see the battle situation, and an arrow was shot in front of him. Suddenly frightened himself, for fear that someone from Liao would kill him in front of him. But when he turned around, Cao Yun behind him had long disappeared. This Cao Yun is really unreliable, if it is Zhanfang, he must think about protecting himself first.

By the next morning, the battlefield was thoroughly cleaned, and at the same time, the crossbow arrows were recovered, and all the corpses that should be buried were buried, and now the Liao people could not find anything.

I didn't sleep all night, and I was really sleepy, but what Bao Qing didn't expect was that Li Qing actually came to answer in person.

"Why did Commander Li come in person?" Bao Qing asked.

"The last general is really not at ease, and what I didn't expect is that as soon as the adults made such a move, they got so much food, and the last general was really curious and wanted to see what was going on." Li Qing replied with a smile.

"There are many things you didn't expect, my eldest brother not only captured the thirteen princes who plotted rebellion, but also shot more than 200 Liao soldiers with more than 100 people just now. What do you think! Ha ha! Cao Yun was a little proud.

Li Qing looked incredulous, and it wasn't until Zhang Long nodded at him that he couldn't help asking, "My lord, is this really the case?" Zhang Long, tell me how adults do it in a moment! ”

After listening to Zhang Long's narration, Li Qing couldn't help but applaud.

At this time, Bao Qing was always thinking about the dragon birthday jade pendant, and suddenly a thought flashed through Bao Qing's mind.

"Commander Li, come here! Let's talk! Bao Qing pulled Li Qing aside.

"My lord, what do you command? Just say! Li Qing saw Bao Qing's solemn face and asked directly.

"The situation is urgent, Hongba's two reinforcements have arrived in Bazhou, and it is estimated that the Liao people will soon make a move. This officer wants you to bring your personal guards to take over the reinforcements from both sides! Bao Qing said.

Li Qing was confused and asked very puzzled: "What?" How could Hongba's two-way reinforcements obey the orders of the last general, but they were afraid that the last general would be hacked to death as long as he went. ”

"This official thinks about it, only you are suitable! After you listen to the official's words, the official will hand you a token of the thirteen princes and a letter. You took the token and the letter and went directly to the camp in Bazhou to find Hongba, and you didn't say anything. I only said that the prince sent you. Of course, whether you want to go or not, you have to make up your own mind, and the official just told you these two points. One is that the imperial court has abandoned Bazhou, and General Cao and your Li Qing's troops have become outcasts. The second is that if you succeed in taking over, the whole situation will be reversed, and all the credit in the future will be yours, and I just want to rescue General Cao. You should know the relationship between me and the daughter of the Cao family. Bao Qing said slowly.

"This!" Li Qing was a little hesitant.

"It's a dangerous mission, it's a life! You've got it! ”

Li Qing thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "The last general is up to the adults!" Li Qing's consideration is very simple, that is, where he and his brothers are alive. In his current situation, he knew very well that the only thing he could rely on was this Lord Qinchabao. Judging from the overall thinking of the imperial court, General Cao and himself are afraid that they have already become outcasts, and the situation in Bazhou is really unbearable. If it goes on like this, his gang of men and horses will be trapped on the grassland, and they will have to starve to death before the Liao people come to exterminate them.

"Good! Before you leave, hand over the soldiers and horses in your hands to Zhang Long, and the official wants to use your soldiers and horses to cut off the Yizhou grain road. In addition, you went to Bazhou to take over the two reinforcements in the name of the Thirteen Princes. Once the takeover is successful, immediately withdraw from Bazhou and directly lead the troops to cut off the grain road leading to Liaoying in the direction of Baozhou. What this official wants to remind you is that the Baozhou battalion is estimated to be the thirteenth prince's, because the second grain route of the Liao army is in the direction of Baozhou. Also, this official will send Zhan to assist you, he is more familiar with that grain route. ”

Li Qing nodded.

Bao Qing continued: "You have to remember that once you go to the Bazhou camp, you have to quickly change roles, all your actions are assigned by the Thirteen Princes, and you will treat yourself as the rebels of the Thirteen Princes!" You know? Later, I will take you to meet the Thirteen Princes, so that you can understand his appearance, so as not to leak his mouth. ”

Bao Qing knew that he was playing with fire, but there was really no way, his troops were too small to intercept the two grain routes at the same time, but once the interception was successful, the Liao army must be in chaos.
