Chapter 575: Trapped Mountain
The army began to gather, Xiao Ying was promoted to gather generals, and soon, the people who sent the verification came with the news that the Su family army was in the Thousand Insects Mountain, which can be determined.
"Okay, the army is leaving, and we will fight for the victory or defeat." Xiao Ying's face rarely showed a solemn meaning.
The 120,000 army was dispatched half at one time, a full 60,000 people. The remaining half were all in the army waiting for news, and they would arrive as soon as the big war began.
Thousand Worm Mountain.
As you can tell from the name, there are a lot of poisonous insects, mosquitoes and ants here.
But in Su Shi's army, there are not many people who have long bags on their faces and are bitten by mosquitoes.
As soon as he entered here, Su Shi exchanged a lot of toilet water from the system, one bottle per person, and he could get it again when he ran out, which ensured that everyone could stay in a peak state.
Even if someone is occasionally bitten into one or two small packets, it is harmless and harmless in the overall situation.
After Su Shi had protective measures, he put the army in the Thousand Insect Mountain, which also became a natural protection place, Su Shi believed that no matter how many Liao troops came, as long as they drilled into the dense forest, the opponent was helpless.
"Dig more firebreaks in case the other side sets fire to the mountain." In his spare time, Su Shi told Lou Yang.
As he was talking, Ji Zhu walked over, "Young Marshal, our people have deliberately leaked their whereabouts and have attracted the Liao army. ”
"Oh, is it finally here? Hehe, that's a bit slow. Alright, go ahead with the plan. Tell the brothers below that this is the best time to practice archery. ”
"Yes." Ji Zhu also smiled, and turned away after receiving the order.
Put it in something else
In the eyes of people, Su Shi seemed to be cornered, so he entered the Thousand Insects Mountain.
But in Su Shi's opinion, he clearly lived a very free life, and he also asked the enemy to come far away to accompany him to train his troops, this kind of opportunity was really rare.
Beyond the Thousand Worm Mountain, some tall grasses can be seen everywhere.
In the dense forest not far away, there are many giant trees that can only be surrounded by two or three people.
Xiao Ying came here, got off the horse, and after looking around, he reached out and patted a mosquito on the back of his hand and said, "This environment is not very good." This kind of place is the most suitable for Tibetans. ”
"Yes, although there is no precipitous terrain, there are too many mosquitoes here, and the trees are dense, and it is very difficult to find Su Shi and kill him in such a complex environment." Zhang Jian also nodded and said.
"It's difficult, but we have to overcome it, and even if we come, we have to do something. Besides, it's hard for us outside, and it's definitely even more difficult for Su Shi inside. While Xiao Ying nodded, he didn't have any intention of retreating, but casually summoned his general Luo Leshui.
"General Luo, Su Shi is here, you lead the troops to launch a tentative attack to see if you can find them, and it is best to force them out to fight a decisive battle with us."
"The last general commands." Luo Leshui clenched his fists and agreed, turned around and went to arrange with a somewhat bitter face.
In such an environment, there are too many mosquitoes, and staying for a moment longer is a kind of torment, in such an environment, fighting with people, I am afraid that my strength will lose three points before fighting.
Reluctantly, the two thousand Liao troops formed a large search party, covering their faces with a sturdy face, revealing only their eyes
After the mouth and nose, he began to enter the mountain.
From the outside, I don't feel anything, but when I really step into the mountains, I feel that my whole face is covered with mosquitoes.
One by one, the people who entered the mountain were exposed on the back of their hands outside, and they were bitten full of bags at the moment, which made them cry bitterly.
But that's not all.
When they had advanced about five hundred paces, a bow and arrow suddenly came at them from the woods.
The face is blocked, which makes many people who are hit by the arrow and don't know which direction it came from.
In a short period of time, after more than 100 people fell, the others had to retreat out of the forest.
But at this time, they wanted to retreat, but the people of the Su family army chased after them, and kept firing arrows behind them, and after a short distance of five hundred steps, they forcibly put down three or four hundred of them, and the others escaped from the dense forest.
Two thousand went, and only fifteen hundred returned.
Luo Leshui saw that there was indeed an enemy in the forest, so he came to Xiao Ying with a happy face, "General, we have tried, there are indeed people from the Su family army here, and there should be a lot of them." ”
"Haha, okay, then, order the army to go into the mountains, find them, and fight them." Xiao Ying laughed, and the appearance of finally finding an opponent and coming in vain.
The general ordered that no matter how difficult it was, the soldiers below could only obey the order, and in this way, the first batch of 10,000 Liao troops would enter the Thousand Worms Mountain in a neat formation.
They endured the physical damage caused by mosquitoes and stepped in. But the crackling sound still comes and goes, and it is the sound of slapping mosquitoes.
10,000 people lined up in a row
The snake formation entered the mountain. Three hundred steps, five hundred steps, a thousand steps...
Far longer than the last time, many people's faces have been bitten and swollen like steamed buns, and they still haven't seen a single Su Jiajun.
The feeling of itching was incomparable, and finally some weak-willed people shouted that they couldn't stand it.
They would rather be hacked to death with a knife than just be itched to death.
"No, I can't stand it, even if the military justice punishes me, I have to go out." The first soldier who couldn't stand it appeared and, after shouting, turned and ran towards the forest.
With the first comes the second, the third...
When more and more people ran, and finally there were not even half of them left, the other people left had to turn around and retreat after looking at each other.
And it was when they retreated, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air continued to be heard behind them.
When the enemy advances, I retreat, and when the enemy retreats, I advance.
Hundreds of corpses were thrown again, and some Liao soldiers were injured by arrows and were helped out of the dense forest by their comrades.
When you go in, your morale is high, but when you come out, you lose your troops.
Xiao Ying frowned at this scene, he knew that this battle would be difficult to fight.
"Can't you set fire to the mountain?" It seems to be talking to oneself, and it seems to be saying it casually.
"I don't know how long it will take for such a big mountain to burn, and the other party will run with long legs. When the time comes, it will be more difficult to find them. Zhang Jian didn't know when he came to Xiao Ying's side.
"What then? The environment of this Thousand Worms Mountain is too bad, if you look at our soldiers, even if they are not killed by Su Shi, they will be bitten to death by mosquitoes. ”
Hearing that it was useless to burn the mountain, Xiao Ying was also worried that Su Shi would run from under his nose
After all, the fire is burning and the smoke is filled, and it is not easy to catch Su Shi and them.
"Sleepy, we have enough troops, send troops to surround the entire mountain, but we want to see how long they can hold out without supplies." Zhang Jian made a decision after pondering.
They were attacked by mosquitoes outside the mountain, and it was very uncomfortable, and it would only be more difficult to survive in the mountains.
"It's... All right. ”
Xiao Ying originally wanted to say that it would take too long to do this, but thinking that there was no better way for him, he could only nod and agree.
It was decided to encircle the mountain, and more than 100,000 Liao soldiers quickly dispersed, and every other distance, there was a large camp of the Liao army, blocking all the exits of the entire mountain, and the siege began.
The Liao army outside no longer entered the mountain, so Su Shi sent scouts from the Flying Eagle Squadron to go out to investigate the situation, and when he learned that the Liao army was going to surround the mountain, Su Shi just smiled.
He was able to come here, and he took the initiative to stop and let the Liao army find him, so he naturally thought that there would be a situation of surrounding the mountain.
Speaking of which, this is what Su Shi wants.
He has a system, he can exchange enough food and what he needs, and he doesn't worry about being besieged at all. However, the more than 100,000 Liao troops outside are gathered together, and they consume a lot of things every day.
And this primitive area is not close to any city in the Liao Kingdom, and if the grain wants to be transported here, two a day, a long time, maybe who will not be able to stand it first.
"Just let them hang around. We just took advantage of this time in the dense forest to train our troops. By the way, the distribution of toilet water should be in time
, tell the soldiers not to be afraid of waste, must ensure that they are not bitten by mosquitoes. ”
"In addition, mosquito coils must be lit in all military tents to ensure that mosquitoes do not dare to enter the tents and disturb the rest of the soldiers."
"Tell everyone that the siege is only temporary, and as long as there is a chance, they will be let out to kill the enemy and cause trouble. We have to be like the monkey who got into the belly of the princess of the iron fan, so that they can't swallow it and can't vomit it. ”
Su Shi laughed, at this moment, there was no consciousness of being besieged at all.
......
Su Shi went to Liaodi, but there are still his legends in the north.
Regardless of anything else, let's just say that there are nearly 100,000 foreign soldiers in Jingle City now, but they just don't dare to attack Xincheng.
Liao's reinforcements could not come on time, and without their support, their confidence became insufficient.
Unable to send troops to the Song army, all they could do now was wait, waiting for the news of the elimination of Su Shi in the territory of Liao.
It was already summer, and the barbarians did not send troops.
According to the original plan, after they solved the loss of Mo Ge, they had to consider the matter of sending troops to the Great Song Dynasty for the second time after the beginning of spring. But after hearing that Su Shi once again led the army into Liaodi, and continued to attack the city, they were afraid.
Last time, it was Su Shi who went to Liaodi first, followed by Mengdi, and supported the Kaqi tribe.
Now who can guarantee that they will not go from Liaodi to Mongolia this time?
If they sent troops into the Song Land, would Su Shi come to Mengdi and raise another force to fight against the Kaqi tribe?
Others don't have such ability, but this Su Shi is very evil, which makes people think of him and inevitably feel sudden in their hearts.
Don't dare to take risks.
Therefore, the enemy is not used to influence, but to strike.
