At Liangshanbo Wharf, Sun Lei led the army to prepare to take a boat to Cangzhou.

"Come out, hide what to hide!"

Sun Lei took a stick and knocked on a few large boxes in front of him, but there was movement in the box just now, and when he saw that the mouth of the box was not sealed, he knew that someone was hiding inside.

"Brother!"

Li Kui probed out of the box and said with a smile.

"Tie Niu, I said this trick wouldn't work."

Bao Xu also got up from the alley and said.

"It's all your fault, if you hadn't kicked me just now, how would I have been discovered!"

Li Kui glared at Bao Xu and shouted.

Xiang Chong and Li Gon also got up from the box next to them.

"If you want to go, just say it, what are you doing hiding in the box, if this is nailed, you won't be able to get out!"

Sun Lei knocked on the boxes with a smile, and only Li Kui could come up with the bad idea of hiding in the box.

"Brother, I just want to go and see what the Liao country is capable of."

Li Kui said with a smile.

"You're really lame with this excuse, so let's go together!"

Sun Lei waved his hand.

The fleet set off and headed north into the Yellow River, all the way to Cangzhou.

"Brother!"

Gongsun Sheng, Tang Bin, Yang Zhi, Yuan Lang and others led the army to greet Sun Lei on the bank of the river.

"How's the front line form?"

Sun Lei looked at Gongsun Sheng and asked.

"Brother, 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Liao State have been assembled near Wuqing County, preparing to cross the Yellow River and invade Cangzhou."

Gongsun Sheng said.

"Looks like they're treating us like soft persimmons."

Sun Lei touched his chin and said with a smile, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State take the Baigou line as the boundary, west of the Yellow River, east of the Taihang Mountain, there are three strong cities of Bazhou, Xiongzhou, and Baodingfu, but Cangzhou to the east of the Yellow River has no big city, and the defense is relatively weak.

"Soon they'll know they've kicked the iron plate!"

Yang Zhi said with a cruel smile, the ancestors of his Yang family and the Liao State have fought countless battles, and the ancestors died in the hands of the Liao people, how can he not be excited to avenge the ancestors now, he can't wait to kill the Yellow River with a knife now.

"Let's go, let's go to the front line first."

Sun Lei smiled and beckoned everyone to go ashore and go north.

Sun Lei was not ready to expose the warship.

"Leader Sun!"

When Zong Ze and Uncle Zhang saw Sun Lei coming, they arched their hands.

"Both of you, but it's all arranged, this time I don't plan to let go of a Liao soldier."

Sun Lei looked at Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye and asked, With these two people, plus more than 10,000 Liangshan troops, 30,000 Liao people are not enough.

The so-called elimination of evil is exhausted, and everything must be cut and rooted, and Sun Lei wants to completely destroy the Liao army this time.

"Leader Sun, it has been arranged, there are five garrison camps along the river in Cangzhou, namely Nigu Village, Shuanggang Village, Sannu Village, Xiaonanhe Village, and Duliu Dongzhai. Among them, Shuanggangzhai and Sannuzhai live in the middle, controlling the river crossing. Xiaonan River Village and Nigu Village, one at the bend of the Yellow River, the other at the estuary, can be described as facing each other from east to west. ”

"In this battle, small groups of soldiers and horses can be arranged in Shuanggang Village and Sannu Village, and elite soldiers and horses can be stationed in Nigu Village, Xiaonanhe Village, and Duliu Dongzhai. At the beginning of the battle, Shuanggangzhai and Sannuzhai put up a slight resistance, and then quickly retreated south, luring the enemy deep until they stopped by the Duliujian River and turned around to surround the enemy. ”

Zong Ze pointed to the sand table in front of him and said.

The camps of these border passes are the fortresses of the Great Song Dynasty to resist the Liao State, the Khitan people are content with the status quo, greedy for pleasure, and are unwilling to pay casualties and strong attacks before, and the border army of the Great Song Dynasty is convenient to use the terrain to build a fortress to garrison, and these years can be regarded as holding the border pass.

"Yes, this cage is not big or small, just enough to hold 30,000 Liao people."

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"I have a few extra requirements, though."

Sun Lei looked at Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye again.

"I naturally want to kill all the people of Liao, but those horses, if you can stay, you still have to stay, this thing is too short."

Sun Lei looked at the two of them and put forward a request, with the current combat strength of the Liangshan army, it is not a problem to kill the Liao people who have entered the trap, but the battle needs to be more elaborate to make the results infinitely magnified.

"War Horse!"

Zong Ze frowned for a while, the Liao State gathered 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 servant troops this time. The pocket array has been set up, and it is not difficult to kill these people, but it is a little difficult to completely destroy the enemy without the horses dying, and he originally planned to use traps, triphorses, bows, crossbows, artillery, etc., against the cavalry, but these things must kill and injure a large number of war horses.

"Mr. Zong, can you think of a way, it's not easy to be in charge, you understand."

Sun Lei looked at Zong Ze and said with a smile, Liangshan Bo's family has a big business, but the ensuing demand is also large and the cost is also large, which makes him unable to find more ways to open source.

"There are ways, but it's a bit difficult to completely destroy the enemy."

Zong Ze pondered for a long time before he spoke.

"The terrain from the Yellow River to the Duliu River is flat, and it is too difficult to annihilate the cavalry without harming the war horses, even if there is a way, you have to pay great casualties, and the only way is to let the enemy cross the river again, withdraw to the north of the Yellow River, and take advantage of the Liao people to cross the river, and the army will move on the water!"

Zong Ze looked at Sun Lei and said, he knew that with Sun Lei's character, he would not accept too heavy casualties from his subordinates, so it would be a little difficult to annihilate the enemy and obtain war horses, the Khitans were also a people on horseback, and the cavalry would not leave the war horse even if it died, except when crossing the river by boat.

"Mr. Zong, do you know that I brought a new warship!"

Sun Lei looked at Zong Ze with a smile, this old man really has a hand, and his request was immediately solved.

Sun Lei brought a new type of warship from Liangshanbo this time, and after the improvement of Meng Kang and Ye Chun, the wooden building on the ship was abandoned, and the ship was more slender, and the speed was much faster than the previous loach warship.

Zong Ze shook his head, he only knew that Sun Lei and his party docked in Duliu Dongzhai by boat, and he didn't know how many people and how many soldiers and horses Sun Lei led.

"Then according to what Mr. Zong said, Zhang Qing will take 500 people to garrison Sannu Village, and Hua Rong will bring 500 people to garrison Shuanggang Village."

"Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, and Yang Zhi are stationed in Nigu Village with two thousand soldiers and horses."

"Wang Jin, Tang Bin, Hao Siwen, and Shi Jin led 2,000 people to garrison Xiaonan Hezhai."

"Yuan Lang, Ma Xian, Ma Jin, Teng Ji, and Teng Jian led 2,000 soldiers and horses to guard Duliu Dongzhai."

"Sun An, Pang Wanchun, Qin Ming, and Huang Xin led two thousand soldiers and horses to meet Zhang Qing and Hua Rong near the Duliu River."

"Xiao Wu, Wang Dingliu, you are always ready with the water army, once the Liao people turn back to cross the river, it will be up to you, those people can throw down the river to feed Wang Ba, but the horses can't."

Sun Lei looked at everyone and said.

"Yes, brother!"

Everyone was so excited that they clenched their fists and said in unison.

"Go get ready!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Brother, what about us?"

Li Kui looked at this Sun Lei with a blank eye, but he didn't have their names just now.

"Brother, there is no one around me, so I will leave you to listen."

Sun Lei smiled and said, these words made Li Kui and the others excited, and they didn't mention the words of charging into battle anymore.

"Xiao Junshi, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jiasui and asked.

"Mr. Zong really has the ability, but the combat strength of the Liao soldiers is not yet clear, I'm afraid I will have to cross the river to test it before the war, right?"

Xiao Jiasui looked at Zong Ze and smiled.

Zong Ze's expression changed, he didn't even take this into account.
