Chapter 301 Winning and Losing

Cao Bin was stunned first, and then relieved that these days, they had never met the Liao army. In front of Yelu Xiu, did they still want to eat military food and wait for the end of the war every day? In fact, since they just attacked the last state shepherd, Yelu Xiu kept sending elite troops to enter Cao Bin's way. Although harassment, because the number of Yelu Xiuge's troops is not large, although the power of each rush is vast, it does not take much face. Every time he destroys 30 or 40 people in the Song Dynasty, he has to lose 20 or 30 people and has to compensate so many excellent war horses. It is the advantage of the East Road army with the advantage of the number of people.

Now the attack of its elite troops during the day has been changed to night, which is also a plot. At this time, the soldiers eat and their preparedness is greatly reduced. At this time, the attack can also achieve the effect of a surprise attack. Cao Bin roughly cleared his mind and immediately said coldly, "What's the panic? What is the number of Liaoning army's attack this time? What is the direction?"

The messenger hurriedly said, "The commander, according to the report of the scouts, the number of Liao army fighting this time is about 2,000, all of which are light horses, and the mobility is very fast. That's why our army will be a little unprepared."

Cui Yanjin heard less than 2,000 people and was immediately relieved. He hugged Cao Bin and said, "Marshal, the enemy is just 2,000 light riders, not to be afraid. The last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead 2,000 troops and horses to fight against it!"

Cao Bin naturally knew Cui Yanjin's statement, the first thing was to stabilize the military's heart. He immediately said, "It's just a small matter. How can we need a general of the army on the East Road to take action? Just send a partial general and take 5,000 cavalry to kill him!" After saying that, he walked out of the tent and looked at the city in the distance, and suddenly a passion rose in his heart. Now the enemy can only send 2,000 elites to break the way back. I'm afraid that there are not too many troops in Zhuozhou, and the reinforcements have not yet arrived. Now, the war can not only improve the morale of the army, but also find out the details of the enemy. The depression of this period disappeared in an instant.

Sure enough, Cao Bin randomly mobilized 5,000 cavalry from the middle road, and the 2,000 Liao light cavalry immediately dispersed, and did not dare to cove the heavy food and grass behind him. The general with contemptuously looked at the fleeing cavalry and turned back, but he did not realize that under the cover of these two thousand cavalry, a large group of soldiers and horses had already dodged the scout eyeliner sent by Cao Bin, and now they have been placed not far from the back of the army on the East Road!

not far from the camp of the army on the East Road, a teenager and a girl looked at each other and smiled. It was Yelu Fenghuo and Xiao Rou, who used to face Yu Tang Longyan. They only heard Yelu Fenghuo whisper, "Sister Rou, I said that Cao Bin is much easier to cheat than Yang Ye."

Xiao Rou nodded and smiled and said, "That's natural. We ordered a small group of elite troops to harass each other during the day, but we can drag down the progress of their army. They have marched for two months, and at this time they have only captured Gu'an. Although 100,000 troops, it is definitely not a problem to capture Zhuozhou in three days, but Dong At this time, the Lu army has almost occupied the important land behind the mountain. At this moment, the three armies have not yet joined, and there is still a chance to conquer them one by one. Most importantly, as long as Uncle Yelu leads the army, he will not be afraid of this 100,000 army.

Yelü Fenghuo said, "It's just that my father hasn't mobilized a large army to come. At this moment, Cao Bin also seems to have noticed something. If he doesn't want to try to hinder the three-way army from joining, I'm afraid that Youzhou will be in security at that time. Therefore, Uncle Yelu asked me to wait for the troops to ambush here, cut off their food, let their supplies be insufficient, and forced to retreat.

At noon on the second day, Cao Bin had led his troops to the city of Zhuozhou. Looking at Zhuozhou, which was less than three miles away, Cao Bin was full of high spirits and raised his right hand. The army attacked Zhuozhou directly. To his surprise, although the Liao army guarding the city was tough, it did not encounter much obstruction. In less than half a day, the vanguard troops had already He broke through the city gate. On this day, he successfully occupied Zhuozhou, but regretted to find that Yelu Xiuge, a famous general of the Liao Dynasty, was no longer in the city. In anger, even if he ordered Li Jixuan to be the vanguard, he would ride lightly across Zhuoshui, annihilate more than 1,000 people of the Liao army, and kill He Si, the prime minister of the Xi of Liao Dynasty.

At night, the main force of the Song Dynasty rested early, and the army carrying grain and grass slowly marched towards Zhuozhou. At this moment, outside Zhuozhou was already the territory of the Song Dynasty, so they were not worried about encountering interception. The Liao people had already been driven to the north of Zhuoshui, and the ordinary mountain thief soldiers did not dare to fight this one at will. The idea of the army.

At this time, Yelu beacon stretched out its fangs from the night towards this army. He waved his big hand, just like Cao Bin attacked Zhuozhou at noon today, and a group of elite cavalry in Liaoning rushed to this army carrying grain and grass!

The leader who transported grain and grass was named Zhang Fugui. Sitting on the horse, he faintly heard waves of roar from the ground. He opened his eyes and looked around and felt that everything was as calm as usual. When he was about to continue to close his eyes to refresh his mind, suddenly, he opened his eyes widened and looked at both sides with an incredible face. On both sides, countless largeliao The iron horse surged towards them. His mouth grew and made no sound. His body kept shaking because of fear. Looking at the crazy and raging Liao army, he stiffened and fell off his horse.

"Liao... is the army of Da Liao!" A soldier escorting grain and grass took the lead in shouting. He tried to swallow a mouthful of saliva and then clenched the spear in his hand. Around him, dozens of soldiers with the same look were forced to the edge of despair by the scene in front of him, but in order to survive, they rushed to these iron mounts without hesitation. !

But before the spear clenched in their hands touched the horses sitting by the Liao people, countless sharp arrows had already penetrated their bodies. A pair of eyes were full of incredible. Then, a harvest began to be staged. The iron horse of the Liao army first charged and directly dispersed the Song army that had gathered together. Then, the cold long The gun pierced their bodies deeply.

"Don't be afraid. I have ordered people to report to Zhuozhou. I believe that soon, the army will arrive. Don't hide behind the grain and grass cart and pick up the weapons in your hands to counterattack!" A general saw that everyone looked desperate waiting for death and immediately spoke to help everyone cheer up.

At this time, Yelu Beacon raised his hand and let everyone stop attacking, while he rode slowly up to the place where the Song army gathered. A bodyguard saw that he was going alone and immediately wanted to stop him, but he waved his hand. Behind Yelu Beacon, Xiao Rou's face seemed to be a little sad and unbearable, and immediately turned around. , rode away.

Just now, the shouting general saw a teenager riding a horse. In order to boost morale, he didn't care whether his life was in danger. He immediately raised his saber and rushed to the Yelu beacon fire. But Yelu Fenghuo didn't look at it. With a wave of a long gun in his hand, he saw a flash of lightning passing by. The general immediately fell to the ground and looked at him with pain and anger.

"Don't think about it. The person you sent to report the news has already been beheaded by me. If you are interested, just surrender obediently. Otherwise, you will burn to death with this batch of grain and grass. We can't take away these grain and fodder, and you don't want to keep them. Song Ren, listen to my advice and surrender!"

The rhyming soldiers curled up behind the grain and grass cart, and none of them dared to move. On the one hand, they couldn't believe the teenager, and on the other hand, if they became prisoners of the Liao people, they were afraid that they would not have a good life in the future.

Seeing that no one paid attention to himself, Yelu sighed and shook his head slightly, "I admire your spirit. In this case, you will die with these grains and fodder." After saying that, he bowed slightly to the Song army and then rode back. At the same time, the Liao army behind him had shot rockets at the grain and grass.

In the fire, Yelu Fenghuo rode a horse and walked slowly far away. There was a scream behind him. He closed his eyes helplessly and did not look back. These were all what Brother Yelu Xiu ordered him to do. He could not resist and did not want to fight for the Song people. After all, everything he did today was for the prosperity of Liaoning tomorrow. Sheng.

Xiao Rou slowly leaned over on her horse and said to Yelu, "Do you feel very painful? I've never seen your look before. Why don't I talk to Uncle Yelu and ask him not to send you to do things on the front line?"

Yelü Fenghuo shook his head slowly and said, "Uncle can entrust me with this important task, which shows that he trusts me very much. How can I disappoint him? It's just that I don't want to kill too much. It's ridiculous that I'm a child. How can it become a war without killing? I'm afraid this is an excuse I found for myself to escape.

Cao Bin was sleeping soundly in Zhuozhou's magistrate's first sound sleep in more than ten days. Suddenly, he heard someone knocking on the door outside the door. He frowned, woke up from his sleep, and said dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter? Is it the Liao army attacking north of Zhuoshui?

Outside the door, he shouted, "Try to tell the general that it is... our army's food and fodder were destroyed by a cavalry in Liaoning. Not only that, but the grain road in the back of our army... was also destroyed by the Liaoning army!"

"What!" When Cao Bin heard the news, he jumped up from ** in shock. He rushed out without wearing shoes and socks. While dressing, he said angrily to the bodyguard, "Why are you still stunned? Why don't you prepare a horse for me!" I'm going to see the food and fodder of our army!" As he spoke, he looked up and suddenly felt desperate. Outside the city, a large flame rose to the sky, and Cao Bin knew that it was the only way for his army to transport food and grass. At this moment, he had been burned by a fire.

"That's all..." Cao Bin lowered his head in despair and asked, "What's the matter?" Why didn't the scout find the enemy's figure?

The bodyguard lowered his head and said, "I don't know... Please punish me!"
