Song Mingyue

Chapter 270
Fan Village, the location of the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army's Middle Road Army, is also the headquarters and rear area of ​​the Northern Expeditionary Army.

All the food, grass and supplies are gathered here, which can be called the important place for the Northern Expeditionary Army. That's why Zhao Hao let Yang Weizhong, Liu Yanqing and others garrison Langoudian, in order to prevent the Liao army from entering from Langoudian, entering the Song Dynasty, and raiding Fan Village.

Even with Liu Yanqing standing in front of him, Zhao Hao still didn't dare to be negligent. Not only did he station [-] imperial guards here, but he also left [-] elite guards here.

When Zhao Hao went to visit the Baigouhe Camp, he ordered the former general of the Western Army, Wang Chi, to be the deputy commander, who was solely responsible for the defense of the place.Wang reported to Wuzhou to observe the emissary, and he was the official rank of the fifth rank, but he was not Zhao Hao's confidant general, but only the person in charge on the surface.Secretly, Zhao Hao ordered all Jinyiwei to listen to Wu Yong and Lu Junyi's restraint. If there is an emergency, they can make decisions at a low price instead of listening to Wang Ren's order. After all, Jinyiwei is his confidant.

Around the big camp, there are heavy fences, surrounded by horses and horses. In the camp for several miles, there are many guards, watchtowers, and groups of soldiers patrolling back and forth.

Around the big camp, within a radius of several miles, there are scouts riding back and forth to scout out the enemy's situation and prevent sneak attacks.

Knock da da~
A horse galloped from the north, ran outside the gate, and shouted loudly: "Langoudian urgent report!"

The guard at the gate recognized that the man was Chi Hou from the Left Route Army, so he withdrew immediately and let him ride in on horseback.The scout flew all the way along the road, and went straight to the vicinity of the big tent of the Chinese army. Then he reined in his horse and stood up, got off his horse, and asked loudly: "Is the Lord Duzhi here? An urgent report from Langoudian!"

The guards said: "Your Excellency has gone to Baigou River early in the morning!"

Hearing that, Dang even got on his horse again, and was about to leave when he saw Wang Tien, Lu Junyi, Wu Yong and a group of generals of the imperial guards were about to go back to the big tent, so they got off their horses and went forward to meet them.

"Why is it so urgent?" Wang Ting asked.

The scolded Hou said urgently: "Zuo Lu and the general did not listen to the general's order, and led [-] soldiers to go out of Langoudian without authorization. On the way, Xiao Qian, the king of Liaogou, led [-] tent troops, and was defeated by Liaogou. , I’m here to report to the Commander-in-Chief!”

Wang Jin's face became extremely serious, he nodded and said: "The Lord Commander has gone to Baigou River, you can go there."

The reprimand Hou promised, jumped on the horse, and whipped the horse away like flying.

Wang Ting looked at the back of the scolding Hou, shook his head, smiled wryly, and did not speak.

He knew in his heart that this peace was a real mess, and it would be an unforgivable crime not to listen to the command of the lord, not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals...

"Not good!" Wu Yong on the side suddenly exclaimed.

Wang Ting turned around in doubt, and looked at Wu Yong with a puzzled face.

He didn't have any special affection for the generals of Jinyiwei who were born as gangsters, but he also knew that the whole Jinyiwei was the confidant of Duke Longde, and it would not be a good thing for him to offend Jinyiwei.After all, even Tong Shuxiang, who is in power, obeys the words of the Duke of Longde. How can he dare to provoke the people around the Duke of Longde as a small five-rank observer?
But Wu Yong said, "I'm afraid the Liao dogs will attack the camp tonight!"

Wang Ting was shocked and asked, "How do you know this?"

Wu Yongdao: "General He originally acted without authorization, and the Liao people could not have known it in advance. Therefore, the encounter at the exit of Langoudian must have been by chance. But the main force of our army is in the east of the Baigou River. Why did Xiao Qian lead [-] elite riders to West? It should be known that Langoudian is guarded by [-] soldiers, and there are many ditches. Xiao Qian must not want to go to Langoudian. All the way to the west is blocked by Yanshan Mountain, and the next exit is the Guangxin Army hundreds of miles away. The battle is imminent, it is obviously unreasonable for Xiao Qian to lead [-] cavalry to the Guangxin Army. From this point of view, there is only one possibility..."

A thoughtful look appeared in Wang Ting's eyes, and he said, "Go ahead."

Wu Yong said in a slow voice: "Besides Langoudian, there must be a valley not far away, which can pass through Yanshan Mountain and reach the territory of Song Dynasty, and it will not be more than fifty miles away from here. In this way, the Liao people cavalry Then we can sneak attack Fan Village at night, kill me and catch us off guard, and then burn the food and supplies, and our army will be defeated without fighting!"

Wang Tin's expression changed, he thought for a long time, his personality was calm, unlike He Shen and others who were impatient and greedy for merit, he nodded immediately and said: "In this case, we must be prepared."

……

It was late at night, and in the late autumn night, it was very cold everywhere.

In the woods several miles away from the camp, more than 3000 horses and cats crawled prostrate in the jungle, holding coins while horses plucked bells, all motionless.

With a majestic face, Xiao Qian stood with his sword in his hand, with endless murderous intent in his eyes, and looked coldly at the brightly lit camp in the distance.

In the field of vision, the camp of Song Jun Fan Village was quiet.

The gate of the camp was brightly lit, and Xiao Qian could even see that the enemy soldiers on duty at the gate of the camp were yawning boredly.

"The southerners are indeed lazy wastes. They just think that everything will be fine with the army and horses guarding Langoudian in front of them, and they are defenseless."

A sarcastic sneer rose from the corner of his mouth. On the back of Xiao Qian's hand holding the saber tightly, blue veins protruded, and a hint of arrogance and murder surged on his hideous face.

During the heyday of the Daliao Dynasty, only 30 old coins were collected from the Song people, and they did not fight for a hundred years, allowing the Song people to comfortably spend a hundred years of prosperity like a dream. It is unbearable to be able to make trouble now, but it is unbearable!

Tonight, we must teach the Nanren a lesson, let the Nanren know that even a sick tiger can eat people!
Xiao Qian's eyes were almost bursting with fire.

A wisp of dark clouds covered the moon, and the night was like splashed ink.

When the moon is dark and the wind is high, when killing people and setting fire, the timing is just right.

Xiao Qian got on his horse, pointed his long knife forward, and shouted sharply: "Follow me and enter the Song camp, wipe out the Song thieves, and strengthen my great Liao army!"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Qian clamped his horse's belly and rushed out of the woods.

Thousands of tent troops crawling in the bushes got on their horses one after another, rushed out of the woods, followed Xiao Qian, and rushed towards the Song army's camp with great momentum.

rumbling~
The smoke and dust billowed, the hoofbeats sounded like thunder, and the three thousand Liao troops were as powerful as a bamboo, and they killed the camp gate in a blink of an eye.

The soldiers of the Song army on duty turned pale with fright, abandoned the gate of the camp one after another, and fled in all directions. The iron cavalry of the Liao army broke through the camp without any effort.

Xiao Qian raised his saber high in his hand, and he took the lead, galloping his horse like the wind, and rushed straight to the camp of the Chinese army.

Fang Zi rushed out more than twenty steps, Xiao Qian suddenly felt something was wrong.

Looking around, all the way they passed were empty camps, and there was no sign of the enemy at all, just like an empty camp.

"Even if the enemy was caught off guard by me, some soldiers should have panicked and fled. Why is there no one except the soldiers at the camp gate?"

An ominous premonition welled up in Xiao Qian's heart, and he vaguely realized that he might have been tricked.

At this moment, Xiao Qian didn't care too much, and immediately turned around and shouted: "Light on the fire, burn it all the way, and burn it all the way to the supply camp and grain depot!"

dong dong dong~
Xiao Qian hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly heard drums beating loudly around the camp.

Accompanied by the sound of rumbling drums, countless figures appeared from the darkness, like ghost soldiers escaped from the underworld, rushing towards the Liao army rushing into the camp from all directions.

"I crossed hundreds of miles and sneaked in from the uninhabited mountain road in Yanshan. How did the southerners know that I attacked the camp tonight?"

Xiao Qian was extremely shocked, with an incredulous look on his face, he looked at the Song army that was gradually approaching.

Wang Teng on the opposite side, surrounded by all the generals, sat on his horseback, looked coldly at the iron cavalry of the Liao Army opposite him, and then turned his head to look at Wu Yong at the side, showing a look of admiration.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Qian swung his long sword, pointed at Song Jun who was two or three hundred steps ahead, and shouted, "Rush over!"

The distance of two or three hundred steps only takes one minute. Once they rush to the front, the heavy armored cavalry is completely crushing the infantry. Even if the Song army has more troops and generals, it will not help.

At this time, Wang Teng also issued a general order: "Shoot the arrow!"

Boom boom boom!
The sound of war drums soared into the sky.

In the next second, thousands of crossbowmen pressed the crossbow triggers almost simultaneously.

咻咻 咻 ~
Amidst the humming of thousands of birds fluttering their wings, countless arrows, like locusts, tore through the night and roared towards the panicked enemy.

Arrows fell like dense rain, covering the sky and covering the earth.

Although the big tent leather army, even the men and horses were all wearing iron armor, but the Song army had nothing else to do, except that the crossbow arrows were unparalleled in the world, enough to break through armor.

Only the screams and the neighing of the horses were heard one after another. Under the dense rain of arrows, one after another, the cavalry of the Liao army fell to the ground.

However, all this is not enough to stop the Liao army's footsteps, and under the thick iron armor, although the ordinary Song crossbow can pierce armor, its lethality is limited. After all, the divine arm crossbow is not available everywhere. .

After the Liao people fell down a hundred riders, they rushed within [-] paces of the Song army in a blink of an eye. The Liao army in the front could even see the face of the Song people, and the spears in their hands were already raised high, forming a death scene. forest.

kill!

The saber in Xiao Qian's hand was raised high suddenly, and he let out a roar that shook the world.

Without the barriers of trenches and fortifications, in the camp, why did the Song people block the cavalry of Daliao with their unobstructed bows and crossbows?

Just a joke!
At this moment, Xiao Qian seemed to feel a little pity for the general of the Song Army who was dozens of steps away. He knew that he was also attacking the camp at night, and instead of setting up ambushes, fences, and horse repelling facilities outside the camp, he ambush the bow inside the camp. Crossbowman, this IQ can only be used as a shoe for the people of Daliao.

Three thousand Liao cavalry roared in unison, gripped the horse's belly, and urged the horse to gallop forward.

In their eyes, there is a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of them. As long as they rush to the front of the enemy army, they can kill them wantonly and harvest their heads, which is unstoppable.

Even heavy infantry may not be able to resist heavy armored cavalry charging close to the formation, let alone a group of ordinary crossbowmen, it is almost impossible for miracles to happen.

puff~
puff~
puff~
Just when Xiao Qian and the others were full of murderous aura and were about to trample the Song people into powder, a strange sound suddenly came from the front, followed by a burst of screams and the sad cry of a healthy horse.

The originally flat ground in front of them suddenly collapsed, and the galloping horses couldn't catch up, and they fell down one after another.
