Chapter 220: Soldiers enter the Luan River

It is not surprising that the Liao army scouts will appear in this vicinity. After all, this place belongs to Liaodi, and even so, it is a matter of course to have their existence.

Besides, there is only one Liao army scout, obviously the focus of the Liao army is not here, otherwise it would not be just one person.

"Go on." Facing Wanlitong, Su Shi said in a flat tone.

"Young master, we got two pieces of news from this scout's mouth, first, the main force of the Liao army is still searching for us near Xinghua City, that is, Xiao Xiaoyou, the general of the Liao State Zuowu Wei who specializes in dealing with me, also rushed to Xinghua City with 10,000 cavalry, but their main search direction is in the west and southwest, and a lot of scouts have been sent to the north, but they didn't expect us to come to the southeast." When he said this, Chu Guo on Wanlitong's side also heard a chuckle of pride.

Obviously, he was also excited and satisfied by Su Shi's move of jumping out of the encirclement of the army in one step.

It may be that he knew that Su Shi was on Wanlitong's side, but after just chuckling, Chu Guo went on to say the second news he got from the Liao army scouts.

"Young marshal, Liu Liufu is out of Beijing, and he came straight from Shangjing to Zhongjing, with 5,000 elite cavalry, and a scout battalion of 500 people, I heard that it belongs to the elite of the Liao State." Liu Liufu finally left Beijing, which was not only within Su Shi's expectations, but also a little surprising to him.

It was said that it was expected, Su Shi made such a big move, it was normal for him to be unable to stand the pressure to leave Beijing, at least Su Shi had already thought about this possibility.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Liu Liufu leading the troops, and this person was a civil official. Although it is said that whether it is the Great Song Dynasty or the Liao State, in order to prevent the military generals from being too powerful, there are often civilian officials leading the army.

But he was finally such an important minister as the third envoy, and he personally led the troops, which Su Shi did not expect. This is enough to prove that Liao attaches great importance to himself, and Liu Liufu's hatred of himself.

"Okay, I know, the army is about to leave Jiugongling, and you can also retreat with the scouts. Remember, don't leave any traces, and don't let anyone find us. If there's something important, feel free to get in touch. After Su Shi said this to Wanlitong, he hung it up.

Lou Yang was standing behind the wheelchair, and when he heard Su Shi's words, he asked a little excitedly,

"Young master, now that Liu Liufu old thing has come out, do we need to look for him and kill him?"

"Leave him alone." Su Shi shook his head after smiling. Su Shi's target was never Liu Liufu, this was just an excuse for him.

Otherwise, if people really stay in the capital and don't come out, can Su Shi really be able to kill it? Not to mention, Su Shi didn't believe that Liu Liufu went out of Beijing, or in order to find himself, he only brought five thousand elite horses, which should be the power of the surface, in order to attract himself to appear.

If Su Jiajun really goes, then he will definitely enter the trap of the other party, and it will be difficult to jump out.

In order to kill a Liu Liufu, it is obviously not worth it to let the entire Su family army take risks. Su Shi still decided what he should do and did it.

The goal is to set Luanhe City, so don't change it at will. ...... Yongsan. A high mountain that winds its way through the lofty mountains, located on both sides of the Great Wall, is named Longshan.

There is a Longshan Pass here, which was also one of the important checkpoints when it was under the jurisdiction of the Han people in the past, and heavy troops were often stationed here.

But now, when the southeast and northwest are all Liao, and they are all Liao people and Liao soldiers, the checkpoint is no longer so important, there are only fifty soldiers guarding the pass, and most of them are old and weak.

To put it bluntly, their existence is just a decoration, and they do not have any combat effectiveness at all. Such a Liao army was targeted by the Su army, and the consequences can be imagined.

When Feng Yidao appeared here with a large group of black horsemen descending from the sky like divine soldiers, he didn't even put up a decent resistance, and after fifty people were shot and killed two, the others all surrendered.

The surrendered prisoner was under Feng Yidao's steel knife, trembling and telling everything he knew, and one of the important news was that at noon today, a Liao army from Luanhe City would come here to bring them food.

"Haha, it's better to come early than to come by chance. Brothers, change your clothes and let us eat this Liao army that is sending supplies. Feng Yidao laughed heartily after hearing this.

Zhu Zheng did not lie, and at about noon, a team of Liao soldiers appeared outside the gate. The number of people was also about fifty, and they were all cavalry.

There were also two wagons of stuff with him, which was all the food in Longshan Pass for the next five days. Fifty Liao horsemen didn't know that the danger was in front of them, or as before, they came to the pass without hurry, and the distance was still far away, so they shouted loudly to come over to receive supplies.

The people came, but instead of receiving supplies, thousands of black horsemen appeared, surrounding fifty people.

The composite bows sparkle in the sunlight. Without releasing an arrow, the fifty Liao cavalry were frightened stupid, and one by one obediently threw their weapons to the ground, jumped off their horses and squatted down with their heads in their hands.

It is true that they are Liao horses, but the war horses they ride are all old horses, and they can't really go into battle to kill the enemy, and their endurance and speed are far from meeting the standard of war horses.

Horses are like this, and people are not much stronger. If they are accustomed to a peaceful life, they will be able to show off their power in Luanhe City, bully and bully the people, and really face an elite army like the Su Jiajun, which is as honest as they are.

Feng Yidao also learned about the troop configuration of the Liao army in Luanhe City from these Liao soldiers who were afraid of death. When he heard that there was a cavalry battalion and two infantry battalions in the city, even if some of the Yamen clerks were added, the strength was less than two thousand, Feng Yidao was still a little dissatisfied.

These days, the Liao dogs who are running around are killing Liao dogs, and the more than 1,000 Liao soldiers are no longer in his eyes.

"Report the situation here to the young marshal, and at the same time notify the second squadron of scouts and let them guide and help." Feng Yidao didn't take those Liao soldiers in his eyes, but he didn't forget what Su Shi said, he attached importance to the opponent tactically and despised the opponent strategically.

The second squadron of scouts is definitely the elite of the Su family's army, their treatment is better, their equipment is better, and the tasks they perform are naturally more arduous, and they are not allowed to enter unless they are the elite of the elite.

In a small city like Luanhe, it is naturally familiar to inquire about the news. Two hours later, the news came, and the two sides agreed on a time to attack the city.

On a July day, the days are long and the nights are short, that is, at about six o'clock in the evening, the sun does not set, and everywhere it shines.

The gates of the Luanhe River are ready to close under such circumstances. According to the regulations of the Liao State, the city gate is closed at three o'clock in the afternoon in winter and six o'clock in the evening in summer, which is a tradition that has continued for many years.

A small city like Luanhe has been doing this since it became the realm of Liao, and nothing has ever gone wrong.

Some of the Liao soldiers who were on duty in the city today had already begun to smile and discuss where to go to play after being on duty for a while.

But it was at this time that the rumbling sound of horses' hooves suddenly came.

"Where is the thunder?" The first reaction of the Liao soldiers defending the city was to look at the sky. When he saw that the sky was normal and no different from just now, he looked at his comrades with suspicious eyes, and then finally someone reacted and shouted: "It's not good, it's cavalry, or a large number of cavalry, close the city quickly..."

Of course, the scouts who entered the city first, they had already chosen the best position, and they were given the order to find the most suitable opportunity to do so.

An arrow came, and the Liao soldiers who were still laughing and bragging with everyone just now had fallen to the ground softly, and this scene fell into the eyes of the other Liao soldiers who were defending the city, and at the same time, no one dared to make any other moves.

The Great Song Dynasty army was composed of the forbidden army, the box army, the township soldiers and the Fan soldiers. The army of the Liao State is also divided into several levels: forbidden army, border army and city defense army.

The geographical location of Luanhe City is destined to not become an important military town, and the soldiers serving here are naturally not elite, and they have nothing to do with the word "strong army".

Now that all of a sudden, the enemy cavalry is coming, and the first reaction of these people is not how to resist and defend the city, but how to ensure the safety of their own lives.

This arrow became the best warning to deter all the Liao soldiers, so that when Feng Yidao led the black cavalry from a few miles away to the city gate, these people were still standing in place like wooden people, and no one dared to move.

"Leave a squad to tie them up and let the rest into the city." Feng Yidao just glanced at the more than twenty Liao soldiers guarding the city gate and threw down such a sentence.

For the Liao soldiers who are very cooperative, the Su family army has strict military regulations, which must not be killed, and in the end it is just to break their left tendon and make them a waste.

In Su Shi's words, this not only hit the morale of the Liao army, let them know that they can fight for a way to survive in the face of the surrender of the Su army, but also add more burdens to the Liao State.

Think about it, these many wasted people, does the Liao State have to feed, and how much money does it cost?

Of course, they can also not feed, in this case, it will chill the hearts of the Liao soldiers, and even if it is not good, it is not impossible that there will be all kinds of riots and chaos.

A neighboring country with internal chaos and contradictions is obviously more in line with the interests of the Great Song Dynasty. The black cavalry entered the city, and there was no resistance at all, but everywhere they went, the Liao soldiers threw their weapons on the ground and chose to surrender early.

When Su Shi appeared here, he couldn't help but frown.
