Chapter 186: Four Ways Come and Four Ways Fu

The Liao State is far from being as rich as the Great Song Dynasty, and the salary of the Liao army is not high, and it can even be said that it is a little low, only enough to feed a family of three.

In order to survive, they will fight some autumn winds from time to time, like caravans that have always been fat sheep in their eyes.

It's just that ordinary caravans generally don't stay in the wilderness, and they will find a city or even a small town to live in, for their own safety.

Where is it like the caravan in front of me, it is actually camped in the wilderness, it must be delayed because of something.

If so, isn't it a fat sheep delivered to your hands? When the caravan entered the city, so many people saw it, and at most they were charged some more money for the passage, but it was obviously impossible to eat them in one bite.

But now it's in the wild, that's another matter, as long as things are done well, you can be completely unaware.

Thinking that after the matter is completed, it is a big deal to give Huang Yingzhuo a benefit, but the big head is still his own.

The blame has been decided,

"How many guards does this caravan have?"

"It's just a hundred and ten rides." The two scouts naturally saw what the general meant, and replied quickly.

"Okay, done! In this way, the cavalry of our two battalions surrounded them first, and after making sure that not a single one of them escaped, they were in action. Tell everyone that there are benefits to share. Blame Ziming said with excitement in his tone.

"Yes." After hearing this, everyone else agreed with an excited face. Although they did not get as much benefit as the general, they did not know how many times compared to that little salary.

Everyone is going to get the benefits, and naturally everyone is happy. As for saying that this caravan is going to be unlucky, who can blame it, if you want to blame it, they don't enter the city, and they have to camp in the wilderness.

There is always a kind of person in the world who feels good about himself and takes everyone else for a fool. Blame Ziming is such a person, at least he has such a mind in front of him.

When he ordered a battalion to be divided into two parts, a total of four parts in four directions, south, south, north, west, and west, he did not know whether he had stepped into a trap with one foot, or the kind that could fall deep and never climb up.

The Liao cavalry has divided its troops. When he learned of this result, Ji Zhu was obviously stunned for a moment, and his mind couldn't help but flash what the young marshal said when he reported the battle plan to Su Shi,

"We can't just divide our troops into two routes, but we must divide our troops into four routes, and set up an ambush in advance on the four roads where the enemy divides our troops."

"Why the four-way? What if the enemy just came all the way? Ji Zhu didn't understand, in his opinion, it was already very thoughtful to divide the ambush into the north and south, and only in this way could he ensure that no matter which side the enemy came from, they would have an advantage in strength.

Now, if the troops are divided into four ways, this advantage will be gone.

"Why? Hehe, if you are a Liao rider and want to swallow a piece of fat alone, and you are afraid that people will know, what will you do? Listening to Su Shi's rhetorical question, Ji Zhu didn't know how to answer, because he had never done such a thing, that is, he had never even had such an idea.

Seeing that Ji Zhu didn't answer, Su Shi smiled and said: "A good commander can't just be a good person, sometimes he has to be a bad person, and study the psychology of bad people. Arming and setting up ambushes in this way is the best outcome. Alright, just do what I say. The words that seem to be fresh in my ears are still in my ears, and the Liao cavalry really divided the troops, and it is still the fourth way, which makes Ji Zhu admire the young marshal even more.

In fact, Su Shi just understands human nature better, maybe he saw too much in his previous life and listened to too much, and some of his decisions are more comprehensive.

It is true that he has the intention of not letting go of one person. Once one person is gone, the news leaks out, and it may be troublesome in the future.

In this way, the soldiers are divided into four ways, which is the perfect strategy. To say that as a general of the border army, he also has some ability, and he didn't think about whether this would be a trap, but he was quickly vetoed by himself.

For a long time, the Great Song Dynasty never took the initiative to find trouble, which made the blame Ziming have a misunderstanding in his consciousness, that is, if it is a trap, it can only be set up by the Western Xia people.

But there will never be a woman in the Western Xia army, which has always been very barbaric. Xixia, who never knew what equality between men and women was, and even looked down on women, it was even more impossible for them to take women with them, because it would only become a burden and a drag.

That is, it will not be done by the Tangut people, so what is there to worry about. Song Jun? It doesn't exist at all, okay.

After ruling out the possibility of an ambush, he watched the other three roads leave one by one, and then waited in place.

He had to give the other three enough time to reach their intended position, and he waited for everything to be ready to deliver the fatal blow.

Of the other three routes, the first to reach the designated place was the North Road, but he was also the first to be attacked.

As the Southern Route Army and the Eastern Route Army walked together towards their destination, news came from the scouts, and soon after, the voice of General Jizhu came.

"Mu Huan, Mu Huan, please note, after the enemy appears in the encirclement for a while, don't be polite, do it directly, do it directly, please answer if you receive it, please answer."

"Mu Huan received." The first squadron leader of the first brigade, who is also a centurion, Mu Huan quickly replied to Wanlitong.

The moment he put down Wanlitong, Mu Huan said to Su Jiajun, who was six hundred cavalry and five squadrons behind him: "Everyone check the bows and arrows, combat knives, and military uniforms, and get ready for battle." None of the six hundred well-trained Su soldiers answered, but they lowered their heads and checked all kinds of equipment, and they were really silent.

Just as everyone had checked their equipment and held the compound bow in their hands, a figure began to stir not far away.

A two-hundred-man Liao cavalry is slowly approaching here. The usual methods of the cavalry, the mouth of the grass, the horse's hooves cloth, the group is coming cautiously.

Even if it is an outflanking, there must not be a little movement before taking action, otherwise it will be a surprise and the situation of the war will develop in an unimaginable direction.

The two hundred Liao riders, who thought they were very cautious and thought they were praying mantises, did not know that on a mountain bag on their side, there were six hundred pairs of eyes staring at their every move, and even some bows and arrows were ready to be aimed at them.

Six hundred Su family troops, a total of five squadrons, will attack the front end, middle front end, middle end, middle rear end and rear end of the Liao cavalry in order.

The advantage of this distribution is that once the arrows are fired, it can be guaranteed that any enemy position will be attacked, not just one place.

Liao Qi wants to come quietly, why doesn't Su Jiajun want to wipe them out here quietly?

As long as the action is fast enough and the Liao rider is not given a chance to mount the horse, this task is not very difficult to complete with the fact that this place is far away from other Liao riders.

Liao Qi is getting closer and closer, and they can already borrow the Wanli Mirror to see the pores on their faces very clearly, on the mountain bag, Mu Huan's right hand was raised above his head, followed by a breath, and a very clear word came out of his mouth - put!

At the sound of an order, it was a scene of a hundred arrows being fired, and the mountain bag was like someone had stabbed a hornet's nest, and countless arrows broke out of the air, flying towards the Liao cavalry, who was only about sixty steps away from them and was walking on the mountain path.

Whoosh... When the sky was broken, the first action of the two hundred Liao riders was not to crouch down or dodge, but to look in the direction where the sound of breaking the sky came from as if they were stupid.

The general didn't say that there would be an ambush here, what kind of situation is this? Many people's brains are still blank, and they want to ask what is going on, and when something happens, they feel a burst of pain in their bodies, and some people are very unlucky, and they are directly shot by arrows in the throat, face and even heart, and they directly tilt their heads and fall to the ground with a plop.

The sudden long-range shot of bows and arrows, in just one wave, cost at least half the opponent's life, and more than 100 horsemen fell to the ground dead or wounded.

"Charge." When Mu Huan saw that the results were good, he then launched a shout, and the whole person rushed out from behind the mountain bag first, and pounced on the mountain path.

The other Su Jiajun were also not to be outdone, one followed one by one, got up from behind the mountain bag, and strode forward.

In the battle of Yinchengfang, there were many comrades who had made meritorious contributions and had already received meritorious coins, which made them envious.

Now that the battle is in front of them, how could they give up such a good opportunity, they will run as fast as they can.

First, the bow and arrow attacked from afar, and the Liao cavalry was stunned. Followed by hundreds of people rushing towards him like a god's soldiers, and under this scene after scene, Liao Qi was stunned.

Only a few veterans who reacted quickly saw that things were not good, and immediately shouted loudly, enemy attack, counterattack, enemy attack, counterattack, but who could hear it in such chaos?

It's not so much a scuffle as a massacre. Under the complete preparation of the Su army, 600 people fought 200, with obvious advantages in strength and equipment, and the real resistance among the 200 Liao cavalry was less than 20 people, and the others either died from bows and arrows, or died in panic.

Even the twenty people who resisted were quickly overwhelmed by the rushing Su family army, and some of them only had a chance to make a slash, and then they were covered by the Longquan steel knives coming from all directions, and one by one, they fell to the ground covered in blood.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, all the two hundred Liao riders died, and none of them survived, so Mu Huan picked up the Wanlitong on his body and reported,

"In the north, two hundred Liao cavalry were annihilated, and there were no casualties or casualties."
