Chapter 261: Self-defeating
The Liao army's squad was sneaking up on Hanshui Pass, but they were all blocked by the traps in front of the pass, and individual Liao soldiers who came over were also shot and killed by the soldiers in the city, and the Liao army was almost wiped out.
Chaoping braved the wind and sand at this time to come to the city wall, Cao Xinyang said to Chaoping: "Brother, our trap defeated the Liao army, but I didn't expect us to think of going with them, let's sneak attack them, they also came to sneak attack us, I don't know what happened to the Youyun soldiers." Chaoping said: "Don't worry, big brother, it's okay, they have been in battle for a long time." "Youyun soldiers originally planned to break through the enemy camp and go around to the rear, but there are too many Liao soldiers, and the dead soldiers who surrounded the cold water pass are heavily guarded, there is no gap at all, and the Youyun soldiers turned around, and also alarmed the enemy, but still did not find out where the enemy's grain and grass were, there was no way, these eighteen brothers had to gather in the previous low-lying place, which was still some distance away from the enemy, and this team's own soldiers were waiting for them here.
The boss consulted with the other brothers, saying that the enemy didn't know where to do the food and grass, and although the enemy didn't chase him, he couldn't just go back empty-handed.
Not only the Youyun soldiers, but those soldiers also wanted to burn grain and grass, and then the Youyun soldiers came up with an idea, that is, to sneak into the barracks under the cover of the wind and sand and night, to find out the whereabouts of the grain and grass, and the Youyun soldiers would say Liaoguo.
These soldiers also agreed, and then the Youyun soldiers waited until it was dark to sneak into the barracks, and then killed a few people and changed into the clothes of the Liao army, they quickly found out the location of the Liao army's grain and grass, and found the location of the largest grain and grass camp and several ordinary grain and grass camps, Youyun soldiers are all in a camp of the Liao army, they plan to kill, and as a result, everyone in this barracks will be killed, even if the movement is too loud and the military camp next to them comes to support them, they can also retreat, because the people near the Liao army are not many scary, and there is also the cover of the night with the wind and sand。
Youyun soldiers hurriedly released a ringing arrow, and gathered the team of hundreds of people, and more than a dozen of them were rampaging in the barracks, as if entering a no-man's land, killing a lot of Liao troops, and after these hundreds of people came, they helped them destroy the hundreds of Liao troops in the entire military camp, and Youyun soldiers told them where the Liao army's grain and grass camp was, and then these people disappeared in the rear of the Liao army's military camp, and Youyun soldiers went in one direction to find other camps of the Liao army, intending to attack the enemy and give this team of men and horses as cover。
The Youyun soldiers are tired, they have been fighting for a long time, the sky is almost dawn, they have also run a long way, and still have not heard the movement of these people, if these people succeed in the sky, they will naturally see it, but there is no movement, there is no way, this Youyun soldiers then retreated to the cold water pass.
"General, your method really works, the Song army came to rob the camp, but they were all killed by the men and horses we arranged, your arrangement is really wonderful, don't say 1,800 people, even if tens of thousands of people come, they can't stop the several teams of cavalry you stationed outside the grain and grass camp to patrol back and forth." The military advisor said flatteringly on the side.
Yelu Xiuqi laughed, very proud, and said to the military advisor: "These little dolls want to tease me, they are still too tender, but they also have a lot of powerful generals, we can't attack for a long time, this sneak attack failed again, they must have been prepared, otherwise the enemy's west gate will be broken, and when the wind and sand are gone, we can step on the cold water pass." The military advisor nodded again and again, and then said, "Do you want my people to sneak into the cold water pass?" Jeluxiuqi said: "Forget it, they govern the army strictly, and they are closed to the city gates, and your people can't get in." The military advisor didn't say anything, but nodded and said: "General, I see that this wind and sand is about to disperse, it is better for us to plan how to attack the city earlier, we can't take care of those people of the grassland tribes, and it is time for them to contribute." Yeluxiuqi said: "Well, you go and prepare, and tell them that if the next time they attack the city, they must rush to the front, otherwise they will be the enemy of my Daliao." The commander took the order and withdrew.
The Youyun soldiers knew that this team of soldiers had no news for so long, and the whole army must have been wiped out, so they returned to the Hanshui Pass one by one with their heads down, and after entering the city gate, they reported the situation to General Wanli and Cao Xinyang, and the general of Wanli gritted his teeth after hearing the news, and sighed repeatedly, because those soldiers were brought out by him, and he had been fighting in the north and south for many years, but victory and defeat were common things in soldiers, and they had killed so many enemy soldiers, and it was not easy to say anything, so they didn't say more about Youyun soldiers, but they knew that they were in trouble, and the people they brought out did not bring them back。
After reporting the situation to the two generals, the Youyun soldiers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned to the post station to ask Chaoping for his guilt.
"Master, we are back, please punish the master. The Youyun soldiers knelt in front of Chaoping one by one, and saw that Chaoping at this time didn't think about being so kind and polite as before, because they knew that the Youyun soldiers came back by themselves this time, and something big must have happened to them in this way.
The Youyun soldiers told Chaoping everything that happened, and Chaoping said: "You are really good, you have killed so many brothers today after so many years of fighting, you are guilty." "Youyun soldiers don't dare to make a sound, they want to die, although Chaoping will not kill them, but this matter is not a trivial matter, according to Chaoping's character, it is very likely that they will be handed over to the emperor or the two generals, or they will be punished before the army according to the rules of the army, at that time, it is not just to ask for two sentences, but the soldiers of the three armies are watching, it must be fair and just, these eighteen brothers are ready to be beaten.
At this time, Chaoping let them get up and said: "I won't punish you today, and I will wait for you to make meritorious contributions in the future, but you are really guilty of what happened this time, take pity on those brothers, no matter what, you have to bring them back." The boss explained: "I thought it would be safer for them to go to the rear, so we went to fight with the regular troops of the Liao army, but I didn't expect the enemy's grain and grass battalion to defend so well, and hundreds of people were quietly wiped out by them." Chaoping said: "You, after so many years of fighting, you never know how to use your brains, they are not you, you can kill them wherever you go, and you will return in vain, and the enemy's grain and grass battalions are so many, how can they be defended, the grain and grass of the grassland tribes and the Liao army are in the Liao army camp, where will the Liao army be guarded, and not a single Mars can not enter?" This time, if you want to blame it, you are greedy, you don't go to the ordinary grain and grass camp, you have to go to the largest, of course, there are heavy troops, the grain and grass in this camp is enough to be the sum of other battalions, if it were you, would you deploy all your troops there. "The Youyun soldiers know that they are self-defeating, if they are not greedy, going to burn a few other grain and grass battalions may alleviate the battle situation a little, and it is better than losing troops and returning in vain now.
After Chaoping analyzed this matter with them, he didn't blame them much, but told them that the wind and sand were about to disperse recently, so they went to rest well, and there would inevitably be a vicious battle.
