It is said that Yang Peng is too big because of the disturbance this time, and he is not very familiar with the hostile situation and environment here. Therefore, instead of letting the brothers rest more, Yang Peng scattered everyone according to the direction of his memory. Cheng Shijie led Zhan Jinguo to Huolianzhai Town, north of Yingzhou, where there was a relatively large bazaar, which should be able to purchase food and other daily necessities.

Liu Zhiliang took Zhou Dayong and Yin Mingde to Gaotaizi Town, in addition to shopping, mainly to see the environment along the road, whether there were any Khitan guards from Liao. The third group is Liuhezi Town, which is northwest of Zhang Xiang and his people, in addition to buying things, he also has to see if the Khitan soldiers have chased him. After everyone went out, Yang Peng carefully recalled the basic situation in this area of Yingzhou. In his impression, Yingzhou was directly connected to Youzhou and was one of the most important areas of this land controlled by the Liao Emperor. Goryeo was now one of the important allies of the Liao State, and a large amount of supplies needed by the Liao State had to be looted from the Goryeo royal family before being sold to the Liao State.

And some of the high-quality and iron ore looted by the Khitan in Youzhou will be sent to the iron works of Goryeo and Liao in Tanzhou. If it is said that the Jin State invaded the Liao State in the northeast later, and then went south in an all-round way, the largest advance base is Goryeo! Goryeo was not only a wartime industrial base of the Kingdom of Jin, but also a very important military base. In fact, everyone used to misunderstand why the Jin State was able to defeat the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty from tens of thousands of people, and the most important thing was that there was a military source of Goryeo.

After his sleeping memories in his mind, Yang Peng finally remembered that about 90 miles south of Yingzhou, there was a big market town called Lianshanguan Market Town. This is a hub transit station before going to Youzhou and entering the Liao State, where the Khitan has a garrison, that is, a Piding army is stationed here. Gaotaizi Town in the northeast should also be guarded by the Piding army of the Liao State, and there should be a team of 100 Khitans guarding it, and there should be a large amount of supplies here.

After thinking about the nearby geographical environment clearly, Yang Peng turned around and counted the loot. After this sneak attack in the dense forest, 14 Khitan bows and arrows were seized, each with a quiver and thirty arrows. In addition, 28 hand crossbows and 14 military leather water bottles were seized. Now Yang Peng has a total of 21 longbows of the Khitan of the Liao State in his hands, and considering that there may be a battle with the Khitan in the future, he decided that all the team members will be replaced with Khitan longbows. Because for now, the Khitan longbow has more quivers, and it will be more convenient to supply in battle in the future.

In the evening, the three grain purchasing teams returned one after another. The news obtained was similar to Yang Peng's estimate, Gaotaizi and Huolianzhai had a Khitan army squad stationed, all of which were in the market town. As for the Khitans in the north, there seems to be no movement, or maybe a bigger action is brewing. Now that the weapon is available, Yang Peng is not in a hurry to deal with the Khitan soldiers. The so-called sharpening of knives does not mistake woodcutters, and the last training was interrupted by the Khitan cavalry's mountain search team. Therefore, he decided to continue training for a month and then make another decision based on his training.

In addition to the 10-kilometer long-distance run over the mountains in the morning, you have to do 500 squats and push-ups, and then start making breakfast. Now there is no cooking class, so everyone takes turns. The next step was to use bayonets for two hours of combat training, and Yang Peng taught everyone all the military combat skills taught by his teacher. On the one hand, it is for close combat, and on the other hand, it is for future reconnaissance and capture. Then there is bayonet training, although Yang Peng also has a spear at this time, he is very uninterested in fighting bayonets, but it is still necessary as a tactical skill.

In the afternoon, it was archery training, which was too hasty some time ago, and the practice was not in place at all. This time, it has increased the training of latent and long-range snipers, that is, to train sharpshooters for yourself. The Sharpshooter is a joke. This kind of training, Cheng Shijie played a role. He is a family of Orions, and he has a special specialty in shooting moving targets!

At night, it is the training of sentry post setting, lurking, reconnaissance, capture and counter-reconnaissance, and finally the tactical theory course before going to bed, of course, including the introduction of various Khitan weapons that may appear in the future, what details need to be paid attention to in enemy reconnaissance, and so on. This is Yang Peng's patent, and no one can share his worries at present.

It is worth mentioning that although Shi Liancheng is young, he has made rapid progress. Because he trains every day for long-distance running, plum blossom piles, martial arts, and archery, his crossbow has improved by leaps and bounds. If it weren't for the fact that the strength was too small, I would have been able to raise my hands together and open the bow left and right! Now his right hand crossbow is able to hit a target fifty meters away!

Half a month later, Yang Peng asked both classes to go out for reconnaissance training to see which group had more gains! And he himself took the little communicator to train in plum blossom darts and knife skills. While there was still time, he wanted to pass on everything he knew as soon as possible. Once a war breaks out in the future, there will be no chance.

Shi Liancheng was too young to fight in close quarters, so Bai Shujie gave him 8 of his plum blossom darts for self-defense. For this reason, Bai Shujie specially trained his dart skills of sealing his throat with a sword, and supervised him the most severely! Seven days later, the six teams that had gone out came back one after another. Among them, Liu Zhiliang's group, which went to the northeast to investigate, brought back a piece of news that attracted everyone's attention. It turned out that Liu Zhiliang and the three of them arrived in the Baiqingzhai area, and heard many people saying that the Charing team was going to the nearby Zhangjiagou to inspect recently. Those in the know understand that if this is not done well, it is to arrest laborers!

The other groups are mainly staring at the surrounding area, which is the world of the Piding army of the Liao State, and has not found any special changes yet. The only clue they got was Cheng Shijie's group who went west to reconnoitre, and they found that there was a relatively large camp in the market town in front, and there were many carriages and other means of transportation behind.

Yang Peng was very dissatisfied with the information brought back by the various groups. It can be said that it is all some gossip that catches the wind and shadows, and there is no verification of the intelligence at all. This can't be blamed on the investigation team, it can only be blamed on Yang Peng for having the illusion that Youzhou should be full of Khitan soldiers. In fact, during this period, the Khitan army in the whole country was 300,000, the total number of people in Liao was less than 10 million, and the Khitan army in Yingzhou was less than 20,000, mainly in the military camps and key villages along Youzhou. The people who really wandered around were Han Derang's Han and the ruffians who relied on the Khitans. Those who do evil everywhere are either bandits or various foremen who have been "hired" by the Khitans.

The so-called "foreman" is now called "foreman". However, at that time, the boss had the right to kill and kill the laborers under him. Just like the Jinzhai Iron Mine, the notorious four foremen in history, were even more vicious than the Khitans in this period!

In order not to exacerbate the contradictions, the Khitans paid all their wages. As for how to distribute the heads, the Khitans don't care. The Khitans were not yet able to deal with the common people of the Great Song Dynasty blatantly, and Empress Dowager Xiao and Liao Shengzong personally led a large army into the Song realm in 1004. Song Zhenzong was afraid of the enemy and wanted to move the capital to flee south, but because of the insistence of the prime minister Kou Zhun, he personally went to Lanzhou (now Puyang) to supervise the war. The morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, and the Liao army defeated the advance of the Liao army, and the Liao general Xiao Tzu Rin was killed in battle. The Liao army was afraid of being attacked by the enemy and proposed a peace treaty. Song Zhenzong of the Lord and Song signed a peace treaty with Liao at the beginning of the following year, agreeing that the Song would pay Liao 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk every year, and that the two sides would guard their borders and not harass each other, becoming a brotherly state, which was the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and the two dynasties were reconciled for 120 years. After that, the Liao Shengzong formed a good alliance with the Western Xia, and the Western Xia also swayed between the Song and Liao in order to survive, forming a situation in which the Liao, Song and Western Xia kingdoms were established. So those big bosses were more or less funded by Khitan weapons and formed the so-called guardian family.

Through this period of investigation, Bai Shujie finally slowly came out of his mind and integrated into the current era. The various information I knew in my previous life also began to be categorized and organized in my mind. However, he soon discovered a very strange problem, that is, in his previous life, what unreasonable things did the Khitans do to occupy Youzhou, and the information was very imperfect. Especially the content that was announced for the military and people of the Great Song Dynasty to understand, it was really pitiful!

On the contrary, there are many people who beautify the Khitan, and some counties have good images of the Liao people, and even set up a monument to the dead ghost tree of the Khitan dog! Many people suspect that some officials are most likely the mongrels left over from the Khitan at the beginning, and now they have mixed into the officials of the Great Song Dynasty! After some deliberation, Yang Peng determined his future course of action. The first is to crack down on the arrogance of all kinds of leaders and weaken the employment potential of the Khitan people. The second is to seize the opportunity to raid the Khitan Piding army on Yingzhou!

In order to make the investigation training purposeful, Yang Peng asked the team members to divide into multiple three-person teams to go out to investigate, but the news brought back by Liu Zhiliang seemed to be more urgent. In the end, after discussion, it was agreed that it would be more meaningful to break the attempts of the foremen to seize the laborers. Yang Peng also felt that his team members, according to the current level of training, were not suitable for the Khitan army for the time being. It's okay to fight the rabble of iron mines, and it should be okay.

In order to be well informed, Yang Peng endured the pain and carried out the second archery training. All team members shoot 20 arrows, divided into 50-meter fixed target and 80-meter fixed target to shoot ten shots respectively, and 80 rings are counted as passing. Then, according to the results of the training, the combat tasks are uniformly assigned.

I didn't expect that the 50-meter fixed target, everyone passed! 100-meter fixed target, the first place is Cheng Shijie full ring! Zhang Xiang, Liu Zhiliang, Zhan Jinguo, Duan Zhixian 90 rings, Zhou Dayong, Shi Liancheng, Zhan Daming, Qiu Mingkang, Xiang Danian 80 rings! The remaining eight people are all below 70 rings, and they are not comparable to the Khitan at all! However, the four good seedlings of Shi Liancheng, Zhan Daming, Qiu Mingkang, and Xiang Danian were newly discovered, and Bai Shujie was still very happy!

With a score in mind, Bai Shujie asked everyone to bring bows and arrows, including himself carrying a longbow and two crossbows that the Khitan master stole from the Khitan officer's house. Shi Liancheng is also a Khitan longbow and a hand crossbow. Zhang Xiang and Cheng Shijie were naturally also in addition to the crossbow, and they carried Khitan bows and arrows on their backs. Each person has 30 arrows.

The next day, during the day, everyone made pancakes together as dry food, and set off at 7 o'clock in the evening. Yang Peng asked Liu Zhiliang to lead the way in front, and in the middle of the night, he advanced covertly and arrived in the dense forest on the hillside of Sanlidi, southeast of Baiqingzhai. Zhang Xiang and Chen Shijie arranged the sentry, and everyone lay down in the dense forest. Fortunately, it's summer, and I can still deal with it. After dawn, Yang Peng sent people out to investigate, but the foreman team was not found all day. In the early morning of the next day, he continued to send people to inquire about the news, but there was no news. Many people began to waver, suspecting that Liu Zhiliang's news was wrong. But Yang Peng doesn't see it that way, the so-called no wind and no waves, this kind of thing can't be groundless.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon of the fourth day, a few arrows were faintly heard due north. Yang Peng climbed up the tree and listened, there seemed to be the sound of the Khitan people's hand crossbows! It's not good, someone got up with the Khitan dogs! It is said that Yang Peng originally led his brothers out to harass the foreman's team, but he didn't expect to see the shadow of the enemy yet, and the sound of arrows came first, and it seemed to be the sound of a crossbow.

"Brothers, the news is accurate, there is a fight not far ahead! Inferred from the sound of arrows, if it doesn't do well, it's the Khitan army, everyone be vigilant! Yang Peng came down from the big tree and ordered loudly: "The sound of arrows is an order, everyone is ready for battle, keep in battle formation, and run forward with me!" ”

Yang Peng pulled out his crossbow and took the lead to run north along the mountain beam. This time the running and rapid march soon were more than three miles, and the mountain beam was at the end. Yang Peng looked out through the woods and found more than a dozen black-clothed people and about twenty Khitans, attacking a small hill. Supporting the infantry charge, it was really a strong crossbow used by a large Song Dynasty! Where they are now, about 600 meters from that mountain bag. It is about 400 meters away from the Khitan army. There are no big trees in between, only thatch more than a meter high. Although this environment is easy to conceal, it is more demanding for shooting. Because if you lie on the ground, your vision is greatly restricted.

Bai Shujie observed for a while and found that most of the people in black were hand crossbows, that is, hand crossbow teams, which were also specially assigned by the Khitan people to those Great Song people who served the Liao State. The Khitans are all high-quality longbows, and there are a total of three people in the crossbow group behind. The Khitan, with about twenty people, was the main force of the attack. The man in black lay on his stomach in the grass and screamed the most, but there was no specific movement. It seems that he is just beating the side drum and blindly coaxing popularity.

"Cheng Shijie, you slowly touch it, and you are responsible for defeating the strong crossbow of the Khitans. Zhang Xiang led Zhou Dayong, Shi Liancheng, Zhan Zhonghua, Qiu Mingkang, and Xiang Danian to the left to deal with the man in black! ”

According to the "Three Kingdoms, Shu Shu, Zhuge Liang Biography" annotation "Wei's Spring and Autumn Period", he had designed and produced a "Yuan Rong" crossbow on the basis of the previous generation of crossbows that could fire multiple crossbow arrows at a time, which could fire ten eight-inch iron crossbow arrows at a time, which improved the lethality of the strong crossbow.

Although it is not yet possible to determine the true appearance of Zhuge Repeater, it is certain that Zhuge Liang has made a great contribution to the reform of crossbow making technology. It was on the basis of these reforms that the more powerful crossbows were made during the period of the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, and the names such as "Divine Crossbow" and "Wanjun Divine Crossbow" appeared; In the "Book of Jin", "Book of Song", "Book of Nanqi" and other historical books, there are constantly records about the use of the strong crossbow of "everything that is destroyed" in the war, it is mostly used in the battle to capture the city, called "Wan Jun" and named "god", which is an exaggeration, but it also shows that the power of this strong crossbow is very great.

Yang Peng glanced at everyone, and then said in a low voice: "I took Liu Zhiliang, Zhan Jinguo, and Duan Zhixian to the right to deal with the Khitan." The rest of the men were under the unified command of Yin Mingde, covering behind us, and specially attacking the scattered and fleeing enemies! Remember: save yourself and destroy the enemy. If you understand it, act quickly! ”

It is said that Bai Shujie took Liu Zhiliang, Zhan Jinguo and Duan Zhixian to the waist, walked quickly through the weeds, went around in a big circle, and finally came to the position 40 meters behind the Khitan. At this time, the Khitan opened the straggler line and was shooting at the people on the mountain bag. Yang Peng commanded while aiming: "The Khitan dog is about sixty meters in front of us, if we can show the results of target training, we should be able to kill a group of enemies." Now the four of us are scattered, ten meters apart, and we are fighting from the back of the Khitans! ”

Fortunately, the sound of arrows in front was like firecrackers, and no one noticed that four people suddenly appeared behind the attacking team, and no one could hear the people from sixty meters away.

"Whoosh!" Yang Peng fired the first arrow, that is, the order to fight! The Khitan on the far left was originally lying on the ground, and his body shook for a while and it quieted down, without alarming the other Khitans. The other three people also missed the bullet, and the Khitan suddenly lost four people. Although the firepower of four people was missing, the Khitans in front did not find anything wrong, and probably thought that the people in the back were replacing the quiver box, so they didn't look behind anyway.

Yang Peng and the others seized the opportunity and fired another round of volleys, and there were already eight Khitans lying on their stomachs, and still no one found anything wrong with the situation. At this moment, the sound of the strong crossbow stopped, and then a Khitan shouted: "There is someone behind!" "The Khitans who were attacking in front didn't hear anything shouted at all. In addition, the sound of arrows on the mountain bag became more and more urgent, and everyone was quickly pulling their bows and arrows to shoot arrows, so no one got up and looked back.

By the time Yang Peng and the four of them had passed the third round, the number of Khitan attackers was less than half. The density of the attack was too much worse all at once, and it was no longer possible to suppress the arrows on the mountain on the mountain bag. The captain of the Khitan looked back and saw that all his subordinates were lying on the ground very quietly, motionless! This situation is so abnormal! The Khitan team had been in battle for a long time, and immediately knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered: "Retreat!" Fall back! ”

Who knew that as soon as he stepped forward, Yang Peng and Liu Zhiliang were eyeing him! The shooting sound of the two crossbows sounded at the same time, and the head of the Khitan captain was immediately blown away! "It's nonsense! Another waste of arrows! Yang Peng stared at Liu Zhiliang fiercely: "Work hard, don't let them run away!" ”

As soon as the captain of the Khitan died, the remaining Khitans just waved their hands and fell to the ground before they could shout! The remaining eight Khitans are either because they want to save their lives, or they have forgotten the face of the Great Liao Kingdom in Shangjing, and now they are all dragging bows and arrows and running away! Khitan this run, Yang Peng and others are in trouble! Thatch all around, there is no way to aim at all!

"Don't get too close to the Khitan, just follow from a distance!" Yang Peng lay on the ground and ordered loudly: "Beware of the Khitan suddenly turning around and shooting cold arrows!" As soon as the order was given, the sound of a strong crossbow sounded in front of the Khitan, and a Khitan was beaten up and flew on the spot, sprinkling a rain of blood! The remaining Khitan didn't care about these at all, and still ran west desperately with his head down.

Going back and talking about the ten people led by Yin Mingde, when they saw that they had nothing to do, they simply went to the place where the Khitan came from and waited. In case the Khitans still have reinforcements, then give him a head-on! As a result, I waited for a long time, but there was no movement. Just when he felt impatient, one of the team members next to him shouted: "Khitan is behind him!" ”

Yin Mingde turned his head to look, isn't it, several Khitans have run to around 50 meters! He hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, pay attention, aim for me to shoot arrows!" "By the time everyone is aiming, the Khitans have reached about 30 meters!

"Hit!" Yin Mingde was the first to shoot an arrow and knocked down one. Then there was the sound of a row of arrows, nine arrows killed six people, and the rest of the Khitan were all reimbursed! Yin Mingde hit the right one this time, and he really made a contribution, so he was naturally so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. It is said that Yang Peng saw that the Khitan people were accidentally ambushed by Yin Mingde, and he was so happy that he shouted at Yin Mingde and stretched out his thumb there. However, before he could finish his joy, a man rushed down from the mountain. Come and take a closer look, ho, old acquaintance!

It's none other than Feiyanzi! The face is full of gunsmoke, and there is a big flower face in black and white. Feiyanzi ran down the mountain, only to find that it was Yang Peng who had rescued him, and he was very strange in his heart: "Hey, little white face, why are you again?" "Hehe, as the saying goes, there is a fate to meet thousands of miles away!" Yang Peng said jokingly: "My brothers and I have nothing to do, so we came out to walk." When I heard the sound of arrows being released here, I stopped by to see the excitement. Feiyan Heroine, which one of you are here? ”

"It's not those deflated calves, I made more than 20 coolies to hang around here, but I didn't expect it to be a set for his aunt and grandmother!" The Feiyan woman stomped her foot fiercely: "These damn brutes, I can't spare them aunt!" As the two of them were talking, Zhang Xiang and Cheng Shijie came over with everyone. shouted from afar: "Big brother, none of those deflated calves have run away, and they are all left behind!" Ouch, isn't this the Swift Lady? So you guys are fighting with the Khitan dogs here? ”

"Swift Lady, are your sisters alright?" Yang Peng didn't talk to Zhang Xiang, but said to Feiyanzi: "You better hurry up and take care of the sisters, and it's also a matter of letting them stretch out their hands to clean up the battlefield." Hehehe, don't worry, I will never swallow it privately! ”

"What are you doing? How do you usually teach you? The first thing you do after the battle is to clean up the battlefield! The main thing is to look at the casualties of his brothers, and hurry up to save the wounded! Yang Peng shouted angrily: "The second is to check whether the enemy is all killed, will they give you an arrow!" "You pigs' heads have always been so ungrown! All pay attention, give you half an hour to clean the battlefield, all the new team members are under the leadership of the old team members, carefully clean the battlefield, and not a single arrow can fall! Then take off the enemy's clothes and shoes for me, pack them and take them away! ”

After being taught a lesson by Yang Peng, Zhang Xiang and Cheng Shijie found themselves happy and forgot the squad leader's own work! I had to turn around and leave, leading my squad to clean up the battlefield carefully. Of course, those new players have been tested again. From the human world to hell, and then from hell to the human world, a dozen or so guys were tossed and almost couldn't stand up.

From the beginning of this battle, Yang Peng's brothers have developed a habit of cleaning the battlefield to take off all the enemy's clothes and shoes and take them away, leaving the enemy with a white corpse. It was from this time that the Khitan hated this Yang Peng to the core! This Great Song Dynasty is not a samurai! There is no samurai spirit at all! After the battle, the remains of the warriors of the Great Liao Kingdom were insulted. It's simply the devil of the Great Song Dynasty, his conscience is greatly broken, die!

Yang Peng originally wanted to give the foreman team an ambush, but he didn't expect a mistake, but he arrived in time and hit the Khitan with a counter-ambush! What surprised him even more was that the object of his rescue turned out to be an old acquaintance "Feiyanzi"! Zhang Xiang and Cheng Shijie led the members of their squad to clean up the battlefield and strictly implemented Yang Peng's orders. Every inch of land in the entire battlefield was searched three times to confirm that there was nothing missing in the thatch, and Cheng Shijie came to report.

"The battlefield is cleaned! Three of our team members were slightly wounded, killing 25 Khitan people and 16 foremen. 28 longbows, 1 strong crossbow, and 10 hand crossbows were seized. 2,473 longbow arrows and 600 hand arrows. The arrows of the crossbow seemed to be the same, there were two and a half boxes. 29 pieces of silver are about 100 taels."

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
