The wind of wonder in Tianyue rises from the frontier fortress

Hu Yanyong temporarily withdrew his troops to garrison, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in the city of Daomaguan.Seeing that Chu Qingxi and the other three returned to the city, Zhao Ning, Liu Qianqian and Hu Mengyin threw themselves into the arms of their beauties.

"Aren't you hurt?" Zhao Ning kept looking at Chu Qingxi and asked incessantly.

"Zheng'er, let's go. You and I are originally from the rivers and lakes. Naturally, they should bear the responsibility of guarding the city as soldiers." Liu Qianqian frowned and snuggled into Chu Zheng's arms and complained: "This old man Guy, just now you were so dangerous and refused to open the city to let you come back, it is really not worth working for him!".

Hearing Liu Qianqian complaining in front of the crowd, Wang Ben couldn't help being a little embarrassed, so he forced a smile and explained: "It's really that the Liao soldiers are too close to the city gate, in case—" Before he finished speaking, he just Hearing Chu Zheng interject, "The marshal is far-sighted, how can she be compared to a woman like her. The marshal doesn't open the city gate, he really thinks of the people in the city, we naturally understand."

Hearing this, Liu Qianqian rolled his eyes at him resentfully, and spat: "You bastard! You know that the Liao soldiers pushed out that huge bow just now, and it almost bluffed the souls of our sisters away. If It wasn't Miss Tang who went there in time, but with the broken shields in your hands, can you stop the barbed arrows!"

Knowing that she was worried about him, Chu Zheng took the opportunity to get angry at Wang Ben, and quickly and quietly patted her on the back, implying that enough was enough, not to hurt the old general's face, and said with a smile: "Didn't we come back safely now?" Okay, okay, now that our army has killed two Liao generals in a row, and Miss Tang's magic has defeated the Liao army again, we should be happy."

Liu Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "I don't care, anyway, I don't agree with you to take risks." Seeing that she lost her daughter's temper, Chu Zheng didn't dare to take it seriously at the moment, so he had to agree vaguely, so that he could get away with it first. Let's do the calculation again.

Seeing that everyone had returned safely, Wang Ben couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.As the commander-in-chief, he did not expect the Liao army to have such a sharp weapon as the chain crossbow. Fortunately, Tang Qing possessed extraordinary skills and temporarily repelled the Liao army. Then how should he explain to the girls in the city?

So he asked people to quickly fetch wine and food for everyone to eat and drink to recuperate, while showing worry: "This Huyanyong is only the vanguard of the Liao Kingdom. Although we will temporarily repel them this time, it is inevitable. Will come back."

Zhao Ning said: "If he dares to come again, let Miss Tang release those poisonous insects again, and kill them all."

Hearing the words, Tang Qing smiled a little speechlessly, but remained silent.But Wang Ben said: "Miss Tang's magical skills are really amazing. According to reports from the scouts, the Liao people have a total of 30 troops in the Song Dynasty. Although this poisonous insect is fierce, I am afraid it cannot stop so many people. "

His eyes fell on Tang Qing, but there was a questioning expression in his expression.Tang Qing nodded and said: "That's true. And there is another disadvantage of this bug, but anyone who has bitten people will not live long. What's more, recruiting bugs requires medicine to attract them. In the previous battle, I had already given the medicine to summon these bugs. All quotes are used up."

Zhao Ning stumbled and said, "Oh, what to do. If the Liao people know that we have used up the medicine to summon worms, I am afraid they will make a comeback in a short time."

Chu Qingxi gently put his hands on her shoulders, and said in relief: "The so-called soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth, and there will be a way. Your surprise, it doesn't make people panic, it's better to calm down and listen. Listen to the Marshal's arrangement."

Wang Ben twisted his beard and said: "The most important thing at this moment is to find a way to deal with the chain crossbow. If not, even if the two armies rush to kill, I am afraid that our army will suffer countless casualties." He frowned tightly : "Our army sticks to the city, and it is not as agile as the Liao army. The only way now is to defend the border and send surprise troops to attack the opponent. Only when the morale of the Liao army is broken, and the fear of fighting can force the Empress Dowager Xiao withdraw troops!"

He frowned tightly: "It's just that the Liao army is determined to win, and they want to get some benefits from my Song Dynasty. I'm afraid they won't retreat easily."

Everyone in the Song camp on this side is discussing the strategy of retreating the enemy, while the Liao army camp on the other side is also arguing in full swing.

After receiving Hu Yanyong's fast horse flying report, Xiao Yuanlang obviously accelerated the speed of marching in the middle, and joined forces with Hu Yanyong at [-]:[-] pm that day.

After listening to Hu Yanyong's detailed report, Xiao Yuanlang's face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word for a long time.At this time, the staff around him stepped forward to offer advice: "Marshal, the students have a plan and don't know if it should be done or not."

Xiao Yuanlang's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "Speak!".

The staff member twirled his goatee with his hands, and while thinking, he said slowly and carefully: "General Huyan said that the Song army has a way to drive away poisonous insects. If our army is forced to charge with soldiers, it will inevitably cause greater casualties."

The eyes of Xiao Yuanlang and others fell on him, waiting for him to continue to speak: "If you disregard the lives of the soldiers and force them to fight against poisonous insects, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers and lead to a slump in morale. It is not the best policy. Student I believe that the most indispensable thing in my Daliao is cattle and horses. Since poisonous insects are so powerful, we might as well use cattle and horses as the first. No piece of armor left."

Xiao Yuanlang was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "A wonderful plan!" He suddenly turned around and said loudly: "Send me the commander-in-chief to order the food and grass officer to recruit cattle and horses quickly, and follow Mr. Pan's plan!".

The staff member Pan Sheng cupped his fists and said, "Wait a minute, Marshal! The students still have something to say."

Xiao Yuanlang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "This commander would like to hear more about it."

Na Pan Sheng said: "The horses are precious, and it's a pity to abandon them. The students think that it is only necessary to gather a thousand oxen, put sharp knives in the horns, and tie a matchlock to the oxtails. Chong, the cows have rough skin and thick flesh, so they are bound to be hard to hurt by poisonous insects, so if our army takes advantage of the situation, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?"

Xiao Yuanlang laughed loudly and said: "Sir, you have a clever plan, you can be worthy of my hundred thousand troops!".

The Liao army here is acting according to the plan, but in the Song camp, it is another scene.Wang Ben was in the camp discussing the strategy of retreating the enemy with the generals, and saw He Junjie listed: "Marshal, Mr. Chu and other righteous men have beheaded the Liao generals Guli Hu'er and Feng Jingyin in one fell swoop, which greatly improved the spirit of our army. , the last general thinks that we should take advantage of the situation and drive the Liao army back in one go!"

Another general with a mole on his chin came out and said: "General He's words are wrong. Although our army has won a few victories temporarily, the main force of the Liao army has not yet come out, and there are strong bows and crossbows to rely on. Dare to ask General He, what good strategy do you have to deal with the serial crossbows of the Liao army?"

He Junjie frowned and said, "According to General Xie's intention, we have been shrinking our heads in this city?"

The general surnamed Xie heard his sarcasm, couldn't help but change his face, and said angrily: "You——".

Seeing that they were about to quarrel if they disagreed, Wang Ben immediately suppressed the anger of the two with his hands, and said in a deep voice: "What you two said has its own reasons. General Xie's scruples are also what worries me. , but now I have been guarding the city alone for a long time, the supply of food and grass in the city is not enough for three months, and the soldiers are exhausted. Although I have asked the imperial court for reinforcements, there has been no response so far. If we keep avoiding the strong bow and crossbow of the Liao army If we don't fight, I'm afraid the food and grass in the city won't last long."

His eyes slowly swept across the generals, and he said solemnly: "The old man has told you all the details of the city. I have asked the generals to discuss today, and I also want to hear what everyone thinks. There is still a glimmer of hope in the battle, and we will not If you don’t fight, you may just sit and wait to die.”

The general surnamed Xie said loudly: "I am waiting at the border to work for the imperial court. Does the imperial court ignore us?"

Wang Ben's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "It is very clear when the imperial court's food and grass will arrive. The only thing we can grasp at the moment is how long the existing resources can support us." A trace of sternness: "If the city is destroyed due to the shortage of food and grass, I will really feel unwilling."

At this time, Chu Qingxi said slowly from the side: "Since you can't wait for the imperial court to transport the grain, and you don't want to sit and wait for death, you might as well seek the tiger's skin and take it from the Liao army."

Wang Ben cheered up and said in a loud voice: "What Sect Master Chu said coincides with the old man's thoughts!" He then said: "According to the scout report, at three o'clock tomorrow noon, the Liao army will have grain and grass arriving. I don't know which general is willing to take the first place?"

He Junjie came out in response and said loudly: "The general is willing to go!".

I just heard the general surnamed Xie speculate: "General He has a good plan. One side is impassioned and claims to fight the Liao army head-on, but the other side immediately asks for orders to rob food and grass. Who doesn't know that the 30 people in the Liao Kingdom The army is led by the first-rank dragon and tiger general Xiao Yuanlang, and the task of snatching food and grass is not much easier than confronting them head-on."

He Junjie changed his expression and said, "What is the meaning of General Xie's words? Since He came to the barracks, he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death! If General Xie thinks that the task of robbing food and grass is relatively easy, you might as well leave it to General Xie. He is willing to leave the city Fight the Liao people, and divert the attention of the Liao army for the general!".

The general surnamed Xie was so bullied by He Junjie, he couldn't get off the table for a while, so he had to hang his neck and say: "I'm afraid of you!" He stepped forward and clasped his fists and said to Wang Ben: "Marshal, Xie is willing to lead the troops to go Looting the Liao army's food and grass!".

He Junjie also took a step forward and asked for the battle: "Marshal, please order Junjie to lead his troops out of the city to fight the Liao people!"

Wang Ben said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, Xie Yundao obeys the order!"

The general surnamed Xie responded with Su Rong: "The last general is here!"

Wang Ben held up a command arrow and said, "You are ordered to lead five hundred elite soldiers to lie in ambush around the Liao Army's food road at [-]:[-] noon tomorrow, and wait for the opportunity to seize the Liao army's food and grass and bring them back to the camp!"

Xie Yundao said loudly: "Decree!" After saying that, he strode forward, but Ling Jian went to arrange it without mentioning it.

Only to hear Wang Ben holding up another command arrow and shouting: "He Junjie listen to the command!"

He Junjie strode forward and said: "The end is here!"

Wang Ben said: "Going out of the city tomorrow is a cover for cutting grain and grass, so don't love to fight, don't go deep, can you hear me clearly?"

He Junjie said loudly: "The general obeys orders!" After finishing speaking, he took the command arrow and was about to stride out of the tent when he saw Chu Zheng stepping forward to block his way, he couldn't help but slightly surprised and said: "Young Master Chu, stop me for what?"

Chu Zheng clasped his fists and said, "General He, the Liao people are vicious, and they have strong bows and crossbows to rely on. Chu Zheng is not talented, so he is willing to protect the general."

Although he had good intentions, He Junjie undoubtedly questioned his ability when he heard it, and he couldn't help but change his face slightly: "Although Junjie is not as strong in martial arts as Mr. Chu, he has learned kung fu for several years, so Mr. Kindness, Junjie appreciates it."

Chu Zheng was startled, and was about to persuade him again, but was gently pulled by Liu Qianqian beside him.Then He Junjie nodded slightly, strode out of the tent, Chu Zheng wondered: "I meant it out of good intentions, why is he a little unhappy?"

Liu Qianqian said in a low voice: "You fool, you have no selfishness in your heart, but it's a pity that others don't appreciate it and think you are an opponent who wants to take his credit!".
