The night was too dark, and there was no moonlight. I could only see some shaking black shadows. From a distance, I couldn't see clearly at all. Sure enough, not long after, I heard some Liao people laughing and cursing. One by one, the black shadows on horseback slowly entered through the gap on the east side, and after a while they basically entered the circle surrounded by Bao Qing. At this time, Bao Qing was extremely nervous, while Cao Yun on the side was extremely excited. Unexpectedly, all the Liao people had actually entered the ambush circle. Now they were waiting for Bao Qing's order, and everyone was ready to fight. No, we have to wait until all the Liao people dismount and set up camp to catch them by surprise. Sure enough, in the dark night, figures swayed, and the Liao people jumped off their horses one by one. There were endless laughter and curses. This was when the Liao people started to set up camp. "Sir, would you like to shoot the arrow?" Zhang Longya was a little excited and asked in a low voice, "Wait a moment, after the fighting starts, you can lead people to block the gap on the east side!" Bao Qing ordered. After a while, the Liao people¡¯s tents were set up. Some Liao people entered the tents, and some formed a circle with their horses. A group of people sat around and talked and laughed. The Liao people did not dare to light a fire, and sent out sentries in four directions at the same time. Bao Qing could clearly hear the reluctant shouts and curses of the sentinels. At this time, I couldn¡¯t wait any longer. If the sentry came up, I might find the ambushed crossbowman. Bao Qing turned his head, nodded to Zhang Long who was lying on the ground beside him, and said, "Send the order, shoot the arrow!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Long immediately raised his neck and used all his strength. Suddenly, a long roar pierced the night sky. Before the Liao people below could react, they heard the swish of crossbow arrows, as dense as locusts, shooting directly into the depression. This kind of condescending shooting was extremely efficient. A large area of ??the horses surrounding the Liao people fell first. The screams of the horses were everywhere mixed with the screams of the Liao people, and the smell of blood suddenly filled the air. The Liao people who lost their horses were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, losing their strong fighting power. This was definitely a massacre without any resistance. Although the victory was somewhat unsuccessful, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, who fired arrows and replaced arrow boxes desperately, enjoyed the process very much. "Zhang Long, we must block the gap!" Bao Qing shouted. At this time, many of the soldiers in ambush no longer bothered to lie down and stood up directly. About half an hour later, the battle was basically over. Bao Qing issued orders to gradually narrow the encirclement and not let a single Liao man go. At this time, Zhang Long came over with Mo Dao in his hand, looking a little excited, and said: "Sir, I didn't let anyone go! There was a little leader of the Liao people who wanted to run away, but I chased him for half a mile, and finally gave up. "Caught up." "Where's Cao Yun?" Bao Qing asked. Not long after, Cao Yun came over with a group of women¡¯s soldiers. "Brother Bao, are you looking for me? We basically wiped out the Liao army. Seven of our people were injured and two died. They were shot by Liao people's bows and arrows." Cao Yun said with a smile. Bao Qing was very depressed. When the fight started, he just watched the battle, and an arrow was shot in front of him. He was immediately frightened, fearing that someone from Liao would come to kill him. But when he turned around, he saw that Cao Yun behind him had long disappeared. This Cao Yun is really unreliable. If it were Zhan Fang, he would have thought about protecting himself first. The next morning, the battlefield was thoroughly cleaned and the crossbow arrows were recovered. All the bodies that should be buried were buried so that the Liao people could not find anything yet. Having not slept all night, he was really sleepy, but what Bao Qing didn¡¯t expect was that Li Qing actually came to take care of him in person. "Why did Commander Li come in person?" Bao Qing asked. "I'm really worried, general. What I didn't expect is that my lord got so much food with such a move. I'm really curious and want to see what happens." Li Qing replied with a smile. "There are many things that you didn't expect. Brother Bao not only captured the rebellious Thirteenth Prince, but also shot and killed more than 200 Liao soldiers with more than 100 people. How about it! Haha!" Cao Yun slightly felt proud. . Li Qing had a look of disbelief on his face, until Zhang Long nodded to him, and then couldn't help but ask: "Sir, is this really so? Zhang Long, please tell me how you did it in a minute!" About a cup of tea After listening to Zhang Long's narration, Li Qing couldn't help but applaud. At this time, Bao Qing was always thinking about the Dragon's Birthday Jade Pendant, and suddenly an idea flashed through Bao Qing's mind. "Commander Li, come here! Let's talk!" Bao Qing pulled Li Qing aside. "My lord, what are your orders? Just tell me!" Li Qing asked directly when he saw Bao Qing's solemn expression. "The situation is urgent. Hong Ba's two reinforcements have arrived in Bazhou. It is estimated that the Liao people will take action soon. I want you to take your personal guards to take over the two reinforcements!" Bao QingTao. Li Qing was confused and asked very puzzledly: "What? How could Hong Ba's two reinforcements obey the order of the general? I'm afraid that the general will be hacked to death as soon as he goes." "I think about it, Only you are suitable! Listen to what I have to say. I will give you a token of the Thirteenth Prince and a letter. You can go directly to Bazhou Camp with the token and the letter. Don¡¯t say anything. I just said that the prince sent you. Of course, you have to make your own decision whether you want to go or not. I just want to tell you these two points. First, the imperial court has given up on Bazhou, and General Cao and your troops are all gone. Abandoned son. Second, if you succeed in taking over, you will reverse the entire situation. All the credit in the future will go to you. I, Bao Qing, just want to rescue General Cao. "You should know my relationship with the daughter of the Cao family," Bao Qing said slowly. . "This!" Li Qing hesitated. "This is a dangerous mission, and you will have a narrow escape from death! You have to think about it!" Li Qing thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "The final decision is up to you!" Li Qing's consideration is very simple, that is, he and his men Where is the brother's way of survival? In the current situation, he knew very well that the only person he could rely on was the imperial envoy Bao. Judging from the court's overall thinking, General Cao and himself were afraid that they would have become abandoned sons long ago, and the situation in Bazhou was really unbearable. If this continues, his group of people will be trapped on the grassland, and they will starve to death before the Liao people come to destroy them. "Okay! Before you leave, hand over your troops and horses to Zhang Long. I want to use your troops and horses to cut off the Yizhou grain road. In addition, you have gone to Bazhou and want to take over two lines of reinforcements in the name of the Thirteenth Prince. Once the takeover is successful, immediately withdraw from Bazhou and directly lead the troops to cut off the food route from Baozhou to the Liao camp. I would like to remind you that the Baozhou camp is probably also owned by the Thirteenth Prince, because the Liao army is the second in command. The grain road is in the direction of Baozhou. Also, I will send a guard to assist you. He is familiar with that grain road." Li Qing nodded. Bao Qing continued: "You have to remember that once you go to the Bazhou Camp, you have to quickly change roles. Everything you do is assigned by the Thirteenth Prince. You should regard yourself as a rebel of the Thirteenth Prince! Do you know? Later, I will take you to see the Thirteenth Prince to let you know his appearance so that you don't leak. " Bao Qing knew that he was playing with fire, but there was really no way. He had too few troops. It is impossible to block two grain routes at the same time, but once the blockade is successful, the Liao army will definitely be in chaos.
