Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 232

Near noon, Guo Kui could not help but have mixed feelings when he watched Li Buqi lead more than 6000 troops out of the city from the Ximen Tower.Especially the one who accompanied Li Buqi yesterday to join the army, who seemed to be called Dong Renzhang, turned his head to stare deeply at the top of the city after leaving the city gate, and then turned his head decisively, urging his horse to keep up with the team. It touched his heart even more.

Naturally, this person knew Li Buqi's plan, and certainly knew the risks of this business, but he still went without hesitation.Guo Kui has always regarded himself very highly, but now he admits that he has the courage to die generously. He really can't compare with these literati he once looked down upon.

The Song army in Baozhou went out of the city every day, and the Liao people were used to riding on horseback.Seeing Song Jun coming out today, they immediately ran away and only watched from a distance.Anyway, their task is to monitor the movement in Baozhou, and if there is anything, they should run back and report it.The Song army in Baozhou is different from the Song army in other places. It is inevitable that they will be unlucky if they get close. After suffering a few losses, the Liao cavaliers have learned to behave well.

Since troops had already been dispatched from Gaoyang Pass, some of the rangers went to Gaoyang Pass to harass the Song army, and the rangers on Baozhou's side seemed a little weak.But today Li Buqi was still relentless, and sent a brigade of cavalry to look for the Liao cavalry, as if he wanted to wipe out the Liao cavalry.So the rangers of the Liao people were driven away far away again.

When Li Buqi led his army ten miles west of Baozhou City and turned north to the Zhaibao thirty miles away from Baozhou, the rangers of the Liao Kingdom sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so they hurriedly reported to the general Yeluzhen who besieged Suicheng.

"How many Song people are there? How many infantry and cavalry?" Yeluzhen was shocked and asked quickly.

"There are two to three thousand cavalrymen in the Song Dynasty, and hundreds of vehicles, but no infantry." The Tanma hurriedly reported.

"Huh? What are the Song people doing?" Yeluzhen frowned.In his mind, even the chariots of the people of Song Dynasty are very powerful, but what are you doing with such a small force blatantly?
Two days ago, Tanma also reported to him that a Song cavalry came out of Baozhou and marched northward for more than 20 miles. It seemed that they were heading for Suicheng. Withdrew, opened the distance, and gathered the main force to prepare to face the Song people.But Song Ren never took a step forward since that time, and when he was halfway, Song Ren retreated.He caught up with the Song army, but the Song army was only a dozen miles away from the city, and the formation was in order. He was worried that he would fight the Song army with his own strength, and the main force of the Song army in Baozhou would come to help. If you can't steal the chicken, you will lose the rice.So they could only watch the Song army retreat to the city.

With the lesson of running around for nothing last time, he was much more cautious this time.Because even if the distance is only ten miles in the middle, as long as the Song army, which is full of cavalry and chariot soldiers, wants to leave, the thousands of cavalry in his hands alone will not be able to keep the Song army.So this time he decided to take a prudent strategy, just ordering his cavalry to gather and wait in full force, and then ordered the messenger to report to Yeluyi first.

At this time, the sky had already dimmed, and the rangers of the Liao people had to get closer to reconnaissance, and they were ambushed several times.At this time, the Song army changed direction again, and many Liao people were thrown away.

Tai Luda originally led five nights to monitor in front of the Song Army, but the Song Army suddenly changed direction, and it got dark again, and they lost their target.They had no choice but to hide in the woods and wait for Song Jun. With so many troops and vehicles, Song Jun could easily spot Song Jun even in the dark with their keen hearing.But when the Song Army didn't come, and when the Song Army didn't come, he realized that something was wrong.

After finding several other teams to discuss at night, Tai Lu replied that they fanned out and slowly searched forward, only to find that the Song people had turned to the west at the fork in front of them.After several nights of discussion, he sent someone back to report to Yeluzhen, and then turned to the west to search.On the way, they found the dead bodies of several teams that were killed by the Liao Kingdom. Judging from the situation at the scene, it was obvious that they had been ambushed.

After a few nights of not accepting the leaders, they became more vigilant, and one leader said: "The Song people may still have ambushes, we must not follow too closely. We just follow from a distance."

Teluda is a very responsible person, so he said: "The Song people may leave some cavalry to stop us, and the main force will go to nowhere."

The leader who spoke just now squinted at him and said, "There are more than [-] troops in the west. I don't know how many nights they are waiting for the Song people. If the Song people go all the way west, they will meet them. Don't worry about it." We just need to be careful that the people of Song Dynasty don't turn back suddenly."

But Teruda was still a little worried. He said, "I'd better go ahead and see which direction the Song people are going. Don't make any mistakes."

The other leaders were silent, obviously feeling that Teruda was too cautious.These Song troops were less than 20 people. Could it be that they would attack the [-] troops led by Yeluyi first?Isn't that brain broken!
The most important thing is that it is close to the border. The people of Song Dynasty planted trees densely in this area to deter cavalry. There are only a few easy roads, trails are not without, but most of them are densely shaded, and you can’t even reach your fingers at night. Dare to hold up a fire to illuminate, it is very difficult to go around the Song people through the potholed path at night.

Seeing that they didn't respond, Teruda knew that they could not be counted on, so he didn't say anything, and just went into the woods with Ye Bushou, his subordinate.

This path is really not easy to walk. The people of Song Dynasty separated all the places where cavalry could easily pass by with dense forests.Tailuda, who is accustomed to running on the prairie, was cautious all the way, and could only use the stars to determine his direction every time he reached the sparse farmland in the forest.

Fortunately, there were not many roads for the Song people to walk, and Tai Luda took his subordinate Ye Bushou to walk around in the middle of the night and finally reached a main road based on his memory of the direction in which the Song people walked.But at this time, he was not completely sure whether this road was the one taken by the people of Song Dynasty.

Just as he was hesitating whether to search along the road or stay on the spot, Ye Bufa who was walking ahead suddenly uttered an owl's cry.

Just found the enemy.Teruda and the others hurried to the woods beside the road, and gently comforted the horses so that they would not make a sound.Not long after, I saw the light of a few torches coming along the road, and immediately prepared the bow and arrow after a few nights.

When the torches approached, Teruda saw that it was a dozen or so cavalrymen hurrying on with torches.When these cavalrymen ran up to him, he could see clearly that whether these people were dressed or how they had three horses each, they all showed that they were Liao people.

So he shouted in Khitan in the dark: "Who are you?"

This voice obviously startled the people on the horse, and quickly reined in the horse, and some even raised their bows and arrows.But a big man stopped them, and then shouted in Khitan dialect: "We are the part of Brother Yeluma, who are you?"

Everyone in the nobles of the Liao Kingdom had private soldiers, some in the thousands, and some in the hundreds.This time in Nanjing Road, many nobles of the Liao Kingdom also brought their own private soldiers to make a fortune in Hebei, so it is normal for Yelu Mage's songs to appear here.

Teluda asked again: "Are you from Bohai?"

"Yes. Who are you?"

Then Teruda said: "I don't accept it at night!" He walked out of the woods cautiously.

The Bohai man saw that Teluda was an officer by the light of the torch, so he dismounted and saluted.Teruda asked, "What are you doing here?"

"My lord sent us out to see if there is any grass valley to fight."

Now not only Teluda laughed angrily, but several of his subordinates laughed when they heard it from a distance.There are tens of thousands of troops on the border, and the Liao people are pursuing the Sanguang policy. How can there be any grass left for the people who come later?This brother Yeluma is also a fool.

But Teruda didn't care about the jokes, and immediately asked, "Why are you running away? Did you meet someone from Song Dynasty?"

The Bohai man said: "Yes, yes. We met Song cavalry several miles away, and several of us died. We had to run for our lives."

"How many Song people are there? Which direction are they going?"

"I don't know how many Song people there are. When I met them, I was walking in this direction, but there was a fork in the road, and the Song people didn't seem to be chasing them. I don't know if they went to the fork."

Teruda immediately said, "Take us there to have a look."

Bohai people are second-class citizens in Liao Kingdom, so naturally they dare not disobey Tai Luda's order, so they quickly agreed.Teruda's men went back to the main road and got on their horses without taking them away for a few nights.At this moment, just listening to the sound of the bowstring, Tai Luda's subordinates fell from the horse without receiving the arrow for several nights.

Teruda was startled, but before he could react, he saw the scimitar in the hand of the Bohai man stabbing at him. He quickly leaned on the saddle to avoid the blade, but at the same time, there was a golden wind behind his head, and he When the eyes are dark, you don't know anything.
