Chapter 716: Sneak Attack
"Exploring the real world?"
Zong Ze squinted his eyes and thought about it, this proposal is really good, so far he has not fought with the Khitans, since he can't know himself and his opponent, it is naturally impossible to win every battle.
"Xiao Junshi is right, it's good to cross the river and take a look!"
Sun Lei immediately opened his mouth and said approvingly.
"Without further ado, Xiao Jiasui, Li Zhu, Gongsun Sheng, Zong Ze, Zhang Shuye, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Sun An, Yang Zhi, Hua Rong, Pang Wanchun, and another three hundred elite cavalry, cross the river tonight to have a look."
Sun Lei immediately named out a few people, but the Liao people could attack at any time.
"By the way, isn't there any reaction from Bazhou?"
Sun Lei looked at Gongsun Sheng and asked, Liao has assembled a large army, and Bazhou, as one of the northern fortresses of the Great Song Dynasty, should have movement.
"Brother, those people wish that we would lose both sides of the battle with the Liao State, or that we would kill more Liao people."
Gongsun Sheng glanced disdainfully at the direction of Bazhou on the other side of the Yellow River, if those people in the Great Song Dynasty were really bloody, Yan Yun would not be able to recover it for a hundred years.
"Then let them see what it means to be a man!"
Sun Lei said coldly.
That night, Sun Lei quietly crossed the Yellow River with everyone, and the Liao State still left some sentry posts along the Haihe River, but because of the lack of cities as support, the sentry posts are also some fortress beacons, which play an early warning role.
"Brother, why don't you go over and touch it!"
Sun An pointed to the Liao outpost in the distance and whispered to Sun Lei.
"Well, be careful, don't let anyone go!"
Sun Lei nodded.
Sun An took dozens of soldiers to touch it in the night.
Although the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao people are only separated by a Baigou River, these decades have always been the Liao State's southward provocation, and the Great Song Dynasty never dared to go north to kill people, so the Liao State's outposts were not well fortified at all, and those Liao cavalry who were stationed at the outpost habitually hid in the outposts to drink and talk.
Sun An held two black swords, quietly arrived at the Liao outpost, after finding out that everyone was in the outpost, he kicked open the wooden door, waved his double swords and killed it, and the soldiers behind Sun An also rushed in.
The Liao people who were drinking and laughing didn't react at all, and there was a massacre, leaving only a Liao man wearing an officer's armor.
"Who are you?"
The Liao State officer led by him looked at the person in front of him with a look of fear, there were dozens of subordinates drinking together just now, and in the blink of an eye, he was the only one left.
"The one who wants your life."
Sun Lei walked into the outpost with a smile and spoke.
"You are thieves on the other side of the river!"
The Liao officers finally reacted, and they were about to go to war with the enemy on the other side of the Yellow River.
"The thief also said it?"
Sun An stepped on the Liao man's face, only stomping on the Liao man's head to the ground.
"Look at you like this, you should be a smart person, let's talk about Wuqing's situation."
Sun Lei looked at the Liao officer and said with a smile.
"Don't think about it, the warriors of the Khitan will never betray their own people! You despicable thieves, if you have the ability, you will fight head-on! ”
The Liao officer shouted, looking unyielding and loyal.
"Khitan warriors? I think it's a Khitan seed, a group of Jurchens who came out of the mountains and forests can kill you one after another, and now you still have the courage to speak outrageously. ”
"If you don't say it, I naturally have a way to let you say it, so that he can taste the taste of torture."
Sun Lei didn't bother to talk nonsense, and ordered directly with a wave of his hand.
"Order!"
Sun An was hideous, and with a wave of the black sword in his hand, he directly cut off the two fingers of the Liao people, and the Liao people wailed in pain like killing pigs.
"What warriors are not warriors, they are all flesh and blood, don't pretend to be forced, explain honestly, and you can suffer less from flesh and skin."
Sun Lei looked at the wailing Liao people and smiled, he can howl so loudly, it can be seen that this is not a tough guy with iron bones.
"Don't say? Next time, it's not two fingers, I want one palm! ”
Sun Lei smiled.
"I say! I say! ”
The Liao officer was in a cold sweat of pain, but finally gave in.
"Speak quickly!"
Sun An urged again.
"It's Jizhou General Yelu Dezhong, he wants to defeat Cangzhou, and the army will go south to Shandong!"
"This time the leaders are Jizhou General Tianshan Yong and Baomi Sheng, they take 10,000 Khitan elites, 20,000 servant troops, stationed in Wuqing County, now the grain and grass are not ready, it will be three or five days before they cross the river to the south."
As soon as the Liao people opened their mouths, they told everything they knew.
After hearing this, Sun Lei turned around and walked out of the outpost, and Sun An waved the black sword in his hand when he saw this, giving the Liao people a lot of pleasure.
"Brother, it looks like we still have some time."
Gongsun Sheng opened his mouth and said, the enemy's grain and grass are not yet ready, and they still have time to prepare.
"No, I can't give them time to prepare, I'll go to the night attack today, I'm going to burn all their grain and grass!"
Sun Lei squinted his eyes and said, how can he wait for the enemy to be ready before going to war, his favorite thing is to take advantage of your illness to kill you and beat the water dogs!
"Brother, isn't this a bit of an adventure!"
Gongsun Sheng looked at Sun Lei and persuaded him, if it was someone else, it didn't matter if he took some risks, but Sun Lei was in danger of Liangshan's safety, so he must not take risks.
"Anyway, the people of Liao don't know that we are coming, so we will go tonight and leave tomorrow!"
Sun Lei opened his mouth and said, this place is only fifty miles away from Wuqing, and it can be reached in the middle of the night by riding lightly.
Hearing Sun Lei's words, everyone was gearing up to fight.
Three hundred cavalry quietly disappeared into the night.
Wuqing County.
"It's been a long time, and the top is finally ready to go south!"
Tianshan Yong said with a smile while holding a wine glass.
"It should have gone south a long time ago, the rich anointed land of the Central Plains is really a waste to those weak and incompetent Song people!"
Bao Mi Sheng also said with a laugh.
The upper echelons of the Liao State have coveted the Central Plains for a long time, but in the early years, due to the insufficient population of the Khitan and the large control area, they signed the Yuanyuan Alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, but now it has been a hundred years, the Khitan population is full, and the rise of the Jurchen Jin State in the north has put great pressure on the Liao State, and it is a good choice to go south.
"Shangjing has been breached, although the Jurchens have withdrawn their troops, but it won't be long before they come back, if they can take Shandong and Hebei, they can completely abandon Tokyo and Shangjing, these bitter cold places."
Tianshan Yong said again, in the eyes of the Khitan people, the Song people in the south are no threat, they are just a group of lambs raised in a pen, and now it is time to slaughter.
"Is the war in the north so difficult?"
Bao Mi Sheng frowned and asked, he knew that several battles with the Jurchens had ended in fiasco, but he never thought that the former slaves would be able to suppress them now.
"It is said that His Majesty the Emperor is ready to give up Shangjing and retreat to Zhongjing and Xijing."
Tianshan Yong spoke.
"If I knew this, I should have killed those Jurchens in the first place!"
Bao Mi Sheng said with a hideous face, the Jurchen was very weak back then, and it was completely dependent on the Khitan clan to survive.
"As long as we take Cangzhou in this battle, the whole of Shandong will be at our fingertips, and it doesn't matter if we lose Tokyo and Shangjing"
Tianshan Yong raised his glass and said, there are currently great differences within the high-level of the Liao State, those who are strong in opposing Jin, those who are strong in advocating peace, and those who want to unite with the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia to resist Jin.
