Ximen Qing led the army into the canyon. The army marched carefully, constantly looking up at the cliffs on both sides in case there was a sneak attack by the enemy.
Fortunately, there were no Liao troops on the cliffs on both sides, and the Liangshan army crossed the canyon with a false alarm.
Wu Song smiled and said: "Commander, you are right. Liangshan has insufficient troops. There is no force to ambush at all. Haha, after passing the canyon, we will take advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy He Chongbao and He Chongyang!"
At this time, Lin Chong said again: "Commander, there are 100,000 troops chasing behind me. I request the brothers from Leopard Camp to intercept here! Block the entrance of the canyon to ensure that his 100,000 troops cannot attack, so that you can pursue the Liao army with peace of mind!" "
Ximen Qing nodded and said: "Okay, Lin Chong, you will lead the Leopard Battalion to defend at the mouth of the canyon, and be sure to stop the 100,000 troops behind you!"
"Yes!" Lin Chong shouted with his fists clasped, and then led the Leopard Battalion to station in front of the mouth of the canyon.
And Ximen Qing continued to lead the Liangshan army and drove straight in to pursue He Chongbao's army. Unexpectedly, after walking three miles, the way was blocked by a tall mountain. Then the army changed direction, but before walking two miles, there was another mountain peak ahead. £®
Ximen Qing secretly complained, and immediately asked Yue Fei to investigate.
Yue Fei sent spies to explore the surrounding area, and then came back to report that it was surrounded by tall peaks and turned into a huge valley. Apart from the canyon, there was no passage! In other words, they are trapped.
Hearing the news, both Ximen Qing and Wu Yong were moved.
Wu Yong sighed and said: "Commander, it seems that we have been fooled. We have been fooled by the enemy's trick from the beginning! The enemy has long wanted to trap us in the valley! Our army does not carry much food, and we only need to trap us." If you stay here for less than five days, you will starve to death, and there is water here, so you don¡¯t need five days at all!¡±
Ximen Qing cursed: "Damn, the Liao army is so cunning! Yue Fei, quickly go to the canyon to check whether there is a Liao army guarding the mouth of the canyon?"
Yue Fei was ordered to go quickly. After a while, he came back with Lin Chong.
Yue Fei nodded and said: "Coming back to the commander, the Liao army is indeed heavily guarding the entrance of the canyon. They have no intention of entering the canyon. It seems they want to trap us to death!"
Lin Chong shouted: "The enemy is so cunning, he actually came up with this trick! Commander, give the order, let's lead the troops out of the canyon!"
Ximen Qing shook his head decisively and said: "No! If we attack by force, even if we escape, the 100,000 troops will suffer many casualties! Moreover, the enemy has already planned on us. How can there be no way to prevent us from attacking by force?"
"What should we do?" Everyone scratched their heads and asked in confusion.
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Although we were deceived, we also know one thing. In order to deal with us, the Liao army pressed all its troops to the mouth of the canyon, preparing to trap us to death in this valley!"
"What's the use of knowing this?" Guan Sheng asked.
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "We are trapped here. The Liao army must have focused on the valley and ignored the importance behind them. As long as we have a large army attacking from the rear, they will be caught off guard. By then we will We are attacking. This way we can turn passivity into initiative and make a dumpling out of the Liao army!"
Lin Chong said: "That's right, but where do we still have people? It will take more than two days for Jizhou to mobilize troops here. By then, our army will be hungry and cold. How can we still have the strength to fight? What's more, Jizhou's troops The troops are already insufficient. As for the deployment of troops from Bazhou, it will be even slower!"
Ximen Qing pointed at Wu Yong and said: "Have you forgotten Xu Ning and his Gou Si Gun Battalion? Haha, this time it is Wu Yong's credit. If he hadn't left Xu Ning's Gou Si Gun Battalion, Over there in Baiyang Plain, then we are really in danger!¡±
Lin Chong shook his head and said: "Xu Ning only has 150,000 people. How can he fight the Liao army? According to the current situation, at least 150,000 to 60,000 Liao troops are stationed at the mouth of the canyon! The Gou Si Gun Camp is Even if you are brave, it is difficult for one to defeat dozens of them!"
Wu Yong also smiled and said: "They can't be defeated, but have you forgotten? When Xu Ning stayed in Baiyang Plain, he also left ten artillery pieces! Those ten artillery pieces were carried with the army, and the commander felt that he could not pursue them. , left to Xu Ning! Although there are not many ten artillery pieces, you must know that the people and horses at the mouth of the canyon where the Liao army stationed troops are quite crowded! The camps can be said to be close to each other, and there are steep mountains at the mouth of the canyon , if this can be blasted by a few cannons, it will be wonderful!"
Everyone was immediately overjoyed.
Ximen Qing said: "This time we were deceived and trapped. It seems unlucky, but it is actually a great opportunity! The Liao Kingdom poured out a large army to besiege us, which can be said to have spent a lot of money. If these Liao troops can be defeated, then we can capture You." It¡¯s just a matter of state.¡±
After saying that, Ximen Qing looked at Wu Song and said: "Wu Song, come out with me, let's go find Xu Ning!"
Then he looked at Wu Yong and said: "Scholar, you and many leaders stay in the valley to appease the soldiers and don't make them nervous or panic. If there is not enough dry food, kill the older horses to satisfy their hunger! You wait Waiting for my news, we will attack from both sides and let the Liao army know what it means to be powerful!"
Wu Yong clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Commander!"
Ximen Qing and Wu Song came to a mountain peak and climbed up with difficulty.
Climbing up the mountain peak, Ximen Qing and Wu Song bypassed the Liao army's patrol, and then quickly ran towards Xu Ning's camp.
But it was said that at the mouth of the canyon, a total of 170,000 Liao troops were stationed here.
In the Chinese military camp, He Chongbao, He Chongyang and Yunshan drank together.
He Chongbao laughed loudly and said: "This time is so damn refreshing! Haha The enemy troops are trapped in Qingshi Valley. I'll see how they get out. Without water and food, I think they can hold on for a few days. When the horses have finished eating, We have to eat the bark of the trees, and eat the weeds after eating the bark, haha, it will take more than ten days, and then we can go in and slaughter them at will!"
He Chongyang said: "Brother is right! But brother, we should send troops to strengthen patrols. If Jizhou and Bazhou send troops to rescue, it will be bad!"
Yunshan shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Bazhou is far away from Qingshiyu, and the terrain here is remote, so it is difficult for the rescue army to find it! As for Jizhou, hum, don't worry, Ximen Qing didn't stay at all No matter how big the army is, even if they come, we can kill them to pieces. But Chongyang is right, it is necessary to strengthen patrols, and we must not let the enemy escape from Qingshi Valley to ask for rescue!"
He Chongbao said disapprovingly: "Qingshi Valley is surrounded by steep peaks. Even birds flying there are exhausted, let alone humans. How powerful are their light skills? Unless they are learning the four major light skills in the world. Otherwise, don¡¯t even think about going out!¡±
"Brother is absolutely right!" He Chongyang nodded and said, "Then let's just wait and harvest the enemy's heads! Haha"
The three proud people were already proud. They never expected that Ximen Qing and Wu Song had only learned the four major light arts, and that dozens of miles away from them, there was still the Liangshan Gou Si Gun Battalion staying behind! .
