The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 508
"Your uncle!... If you have the ability to fight with swords and spears, what kind of a hero are you!" Li Kui was dragged away by Wang Gui and Niu Gao, but he was really angry. There are also many small battles, and I have never suffered such a loss.

Not only did the [-] soldiers brought over suffer heavy losses, but there were less than [-] soldiers left, and they fled in a panic.As a vanguard general, Li Kui is duty-bound. If he hadn't pursued him relentlessly, he wouldn't have lost more than half of his troops.

"Brother Tieniu!" Seeing that Li Kui was still swearing non-stop, Niu Gao stopped him from continuing to swear.No matter how much you scold, there is no way to bring back the brothers who died in battle. You can only shut him up, and then say: "This time you lost more than [-] people, Tie Niu, you still think about how to face the commander-in-chief!" Accountability matters.”

Li Kui was pierced in the chest by an arrow, and he pulled out the cold arrow in a huff, causing blood to flow from the wound, and his clothes were already stained red by blood.He was taken away abruptly by Wang Gui and Niu Gao, and he held on with a tenacious perseverance, and now he has passed out.

Niu Gao yelled a few times, seeing that Li Kui didn't agree, he realized the seriousness of the matter after seeing Li Kui for the last time, and hurried back.At the same time, the sound of Xiao Pu's slap also reached their ears, and they felt a bit harsh, and it was a blatant slap in the face.

Niu Gao and Wang Gui endured the anger in their hearts and hurried back to the camp without stopping.

After the concerted efforts of the army, the fire was finally extinguished, but the camp of the Song army was attacked by the Liao people, which made them a little angry and ashamed.Since sending troops to attack Liao, something that has never happened, happened this time, and I have experienced it myself.

Seeing the sound of horseshoes, everyone went forward immediately, only to see Niu Gao, Wang Gui and others coming, as well as Li Kui who had passed out.Then, Song Jiang immediately sent an order for the military doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment. After the military doctor treated the wound briefly, he stopped the bleeding, and then cleaned the wound again. You must know that if you don't clean up in time after being hit by an arrow, it is very likely to endanger your life.

The military doctor took care of it quickly, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, but Li Kui was still unconscious, and his lips had turned white due to excessive blood loss.Everyone saw that less than 100 soldiers and horses brought out by Li Kui survived, and Li Kui himself almost died. This made the camp after a fire fall into silence for a while, and there was no sound.

"It's still the commander-in-chief who has the foresight, and this person has to be treated with caution!" Wu Yong, the military adviser, frowned and said solemnly: "This battle is still waiting for the commander-in-chief to come, and we will discuss how to attack; Send patrol soldiers so that this kind of thing doesn't happen again."

Because Li Kui was unconscious, they didn't want to stay here any longer. As for the punishment and other matters, we will wait for Li Kui to wake up.Now they are facing the [-] army led by Xiao Pu, which is the most important thing, so they went directly to the big tent to discuss this matter together.

Song Jiang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Pu is indeed capable of fighting. Since our army went out, we have never encountered such a thing. I think we should follow the advice of the military adviser and send more troops. What's more, these days, the troops will not move. Just wait and see what happens, and you have to shoot spies to find out the news."

Everyone nodded and said yes. You must know that this is the first time they have tasted defeat since they set off. This feeling is really uncomfortable, especially the method they were attacked this time was still used by them.In addition, Wang Gui and Niu Gao also said Xiao Pu's last words together.

Everyone was stunned, Xiao Pu's action had already shown his intentions, that is Zhao Gou, the commander of the Song Army, and he wanted to see it with his own eyes, that is to say, they knew that the commander of the Song Army did not follow.Therefore, everyone understood that the Liao army had figured out the situation of themselves and others, and it seemed that they were being beaten passively.

"When will the commander-in-chief arrive?"

Wu Yong said in a deep voice: "The commander-in-chief said that he will leave in the next few days, but he did not say when he will arrive. However, the commander-in-chief should also know how powerful this person is, and he wants to meet him for a while. If it is as expected If so, the commander-in-chief should leave tomorrow, and it is estimated that he will arrive in three or four days."

Therefore, Lu Junyi, Song Jiang, Han Shizhong and others immediately ordered the army to stand still for the past few days and observe every move of the Liao army carefully.If Zhao Gou came, but they couldn't do anything, it would be too useless to wait for others.

In addition, they will not sit still, inquire about the news again and again, and think of ways to deal with the Jinyang army led by Xiao Puda.They carelessly underestimated the enemy before, but after this lesson they have been taught, and they will never let such a thing happen again.

"Report to the general, the Song army has strengthened its defenses!"

Xiao Pu smiled slightly and said, "That's interesting. It seems that besides their commander, there are some intelligent people in the Song army. If those two people hadn't come to obstruct me, the black-faced general would have died in my hands, but in this way That's enough."

The original layout has not been completely exhausted, and the Song army retreated only at the first pass, which made Xiao Puda a little disappointed. He did not kill the Song army's vanguards and generals, but only some small soldiers and young generals.However, another gain is that the fighting power of the Song army should not be underestimated, and there are also smart people in the Song army, so he would not dare to attack easily. This strategy can only be used once and cannot be used again.

"Pass down the order, let the brothers pay attention, cheer up, and don't give Song Jun any chance." Xiao Puda ordered to go on, and after the man retreated respectfully, he murmured to himself: "Again In a few days, the commander-in-chief of the Song Army will also arrive, so I can meet him and see what kind of person he is."

The news of Xiao Pu's defeat of the Song army for the first time was soon heard by several surrounding states, which cheered up the hearts of the gloomy Liao army.

Two days have passed since Song Jiang was attacked by the Jinyang army. On this day, Zhao Gou, Zhao Yougong, and Gao Chong rushed here.

Zhao Gou and others entered the big tent, went straight to the point, and said in a deep voice: "You have fought with the Jinyang army and lost, so do you think the information that Xiao Pu beat this person is true?"

Wu Yong nodded and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten!"

Zhao Gou thought for a moment, he had already heard that the Song army was defeated by the Liao army.Although less than a thousand people died, this is not a question of how many people died, but the morale of the army, and whether the morale of the army is in order.In addition, he already guessed in his heart that Xiao Pu was not easy to deal with this person, otherwise how could he succeed in sneak attack and get away with it, and Li Kui was seriously injured.

Hearing Wu Yong's comments now, and seeing everyone's silent expressions, he has already determined that Xiao Pu's attack may be the biggest obstacle to conquer Khitan.If Xiao Pu fights with enough troops, I am afraid that if he really confronts himself and others, he will lose both sides.

Li Kui acted recklessly, and was dragged out by Zhao Gou to beat the [-]th army stick again, as a warning to others.Li Kui knew his fault, and was dragged out by the soldiers without saying a word.Zhao Gou inquired about what happened that day to Li Kui, as well as what Wang Gui, Niu Gao and others said, from which it can be seen that Xiao Puta had premeditated it, and did not make it up on a whim. It can be seen that he is very familiar with the terrain of this place.

Therefore, Zhao Gou also wanted to see with his own eyes who Xiao Puda was, and Xiao Puda also wanted to meet Zhao Gou.The two of them had the same ideas, and when Zhao Gou arrived at the camp of the Song Army, Xiao Puta sent someone to send a battle post, saying that they would meet tomorrow at Shilipo outside the city, and Zhao Gou readily agreed.
