The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 507
"Xiao Pu's fight is really so powerful?" Zhao Yougong looked at Zhao Gou in surprise, and then looked at the information in his hand, he thought it was scaremongering.If he was really that powerful, why would he stay in Jinshan County and become the commander-in-chief of the Jinyang Army.

Even though the Jinyang Army has a high combat effectiveness, there are only about [-] people. If they really encounter an evenly matched army, it is not yet known who will win or lose.And, if it is really so powerful, why not let him go to the front line to fight against Jin Bing.

Zhao Yougong could imagine that if Xiao Pu was really that good at fighting, with him joining, he would surely be evenly matched against Jin Bing.In this way, time can be delayed. Unlike now, the Liao army loses more and wins less, retreating steadily, and the cities are all taken into the bag by the golden soldiers.

Zhao Gou pondered for a moment, and said: "According to the information, this person is indeed talented and learned, and the only shortcoming is his family background!"

Gao Chong asked puzzledly: "His family background is prominent, how could it become his shortcoming?"

Zhao Yougong was also surprised, Xiao Puda had a prominent status, his great-grandfather was the cousin of Empress Dowager Liao, and his great-grandfather was even a victorious general, never defeated and had a great reputation.Looking at his experience, there are more victories than defeats, even Jin Bing can't get benefits in front of him, how can it become a shortcoming?

"Because he is a Han!" Zhao Gou said with a smile, "The Han is capable, and he is a general. He can't even please Jin Bing. It can be seen that this person is really talented. However, the more talented The more he was jealous, especially those Liao generals who thought their achievements were better than his, and Emperor Tianzuo of Liao Dynasty was also a fatuous king. How could he make a Han person so powerful that he was transferred from The front line stayed in Jinshan County instead, which also led to a situation where the Liao became more and more passive during the Liao-Jin war."

Zhao Yougong and Gao Chong nodded one after another, they also thought it was the same reason.If Xiao Pu had been from Liao, the result would have been different, perhaps he would have become the king of the Northern Academy.

Zhao Gou went on to say: "Tomorrow we will set off and go to Confucian State to meet Xiao Puda and see how holy he is!"

Zhao Yougong and Gao Chong nodded in agreement, and finally Zhao Gou settled the affairs here, and then packed his luggage.This time, they did not bring any soldiers and horses, and the three of them traveled lightly, much faster.

At the same time, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Lu Junyi and others gathered together. They had already led the army to gather in one place and were discussing military affairs.

"The commander-in-chief sent an order, let us be careful first, and never act alone, and Xiao Pu, the guard of Confucianism, is not an ordinary person. He told us to be careful!" Wu Yong said to Zhao Goulai. Open the letter and tell everyone what it means.

Li Kui laughed disapprovingly and said: "The commander is too fussy! Our army encountered Liao army resistance one after another, but never gave us real pressure. We were invincible along the way and captured six states in a row. The Liao people had reinforcements."

"Even if you don't dare to fart, you don't have to worry about what they will do. Whether it is military strength or combat effectiveness, our army is stronger than the Song army. In my opinion, Xiao Pu's beating is nothing to worry about." , Marshal, this is too cautious."

Niu Gao also agreed: "I agree with Brother Li Kui's statement. Our army's morale is strong, and we should take advantage of the victory to pursue it. How can we be afraid of the Liao army. Besides, it is not Lao Tzu's style to shrink back and not attack. We should take advantage of the victory and pursue it. "

Han Shizhong said in a deep voice: "Since the commander-in-chief delivered the order in person, Xiao Pu must be capable of beating this person. It is better for us to be careful. If we really fall into the trap, the loss will not be worth the gain. After all, this is his place." We still have to pay attention to the site.”

Wu Yong also agreed and said: "What General Han said is very true. The commander-in-chief seldom gives military orders when we attack the city. This is nothing. This time when we attack the Jinyang army, the commander-in-chief's letter is very important. It's coming, and Xiao Puda's life story, I have to guard against it."

Song Jiang and Lu Junyi remained silent and kept looking at the information in their hands. The longer they looked at it, the tighter their frowns became.Because if the above information is true, then Xiao Pu will be a difficult opponent to fight this person, which makes them look sad and dignified.

Yue Fei glanced at them and asked aloud, "What do you two generals think?"

Lu Junyi spoke first, and said: "If the above information is true, then Xiao Puda should be careful. If it is false, we must also pay attention. Since it is an order from the commander, let us wait for him Come and talk later, then it’s okay to wait, I don’t care about this moment.”

Song Jiang nodded and said: "I feel the same way. This person is not easy to deal with. When we attacked Xinzhou and Wuzhou a few days ago, we encountered little resistance. First, we caught him by surprise, and second, our army The morale is high and the fighting power is strong, and the Jinyang Army has always been very famous, and we need to continue to observe."

In the end, the minority obeyed the majority, and the army no longer attacked Ruzhou, but set up camp in place, waiting for Zhao Gou and others to come before taking action.

The conversation was divided into two parts. On the other side, that is, in the Jinyang Army, Xiao Pu was negotiating with a group of people.At this time, the spies had sent back the battle report, which clearly stated that the Song army stood still and set up camp in place, as if waiting for something.

"Pass my order, order the soldiers and horses, let's give the Song Army a big 'gift'!" Xiao Puda carefully studied the place where the Song Army was stationed, and constantly observed the surrounding environment, and said suddenly: "Song Army Give us such a big gift, this time I will give them a little bit in return, let them also taste that our Jinyang Army is not so easy to bully."

So Xiao Pu put on his battle armor and helmet and walked out of the camp, then went to the main army, ordered [-] soldiers and horses, and then ordered the four lieutenants and vanguards beside him to set off with him.Moreover, he divided the three thousand soldiers and horses into three parts and attacked in stages.

Xiao Pu beat himself to lead 1000 troops, and then ordered the lieutenants to divide into two groups, and then lead 1000 troops.Instead of letting everyone attack the Song army, he led [-] people to give them a gift in return, and then let the other two teams lie in ambush on both sides of the retreating road, waiting for an opportunity.

After night fell, the sun in the northern region fell early, and the surrounding mountains prevented the sun from shining, so the time without sunshine was much earlier than in the plains.Moreover, the mountain breeze at night is relatively cool, and you even need to wear thick clothes.

Xiao Puta led 1000 people and quietly touched the place where the Song army was stationed, and saw patrolling soldiers in the camp, as well as bonfires and candlelight.He immediately sent an order for everyone to hide and set off in a few hours.The mountain wind blew in, causing the surrounding trees to sway, and some leaves even danced with the wind.

What Xiao Pu waited for was this mountain wind. He lived in Confucian State all year round, and he knew better than anyone else where there was wind, where to hide, and where to ambush.The swaying of the trees driven by this mountain wind covered up the sound of their footsteps.

Although covered by the mountain wind, they still have to tiptoe forward, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted if they are discovered.The group of them was only 1000 meters away from the camp, and their bodies were hidden by trees; then, they moved forward quietly until the distance was 200 meters, and then they took out arrows from the quiver on their backs Arrow, pull up the crossbow again, put the arrow on it, ready to shoot at any time.

At a distance of 200 meters, ordinary arrows cannot shoot so far. They used the power of the wind to expand the distance.However, Xiao Pu was still a little worried, so he moved forward again, which was exactly about 100 meters away, and then he gave an order, and immediately a rain of arrows flew down from the sky, directly hitting the stove.

Immediately, the stove was hit by an arrow, and the flames splashed in all directions, and the camp was also implicated and burned directly.

"Enemy Attack! Enemy Attack! Enemy Attack!..."

The Song Army camp was in a hurry, and they immediately put out the fire, and Han Shizhong, Song Jiang and others also walked out of the camp one after another, and what they saw was the blazing camp.They immediately took action, commanding the army, on the one hand to extinguish the fire, and on the other hand to send people to meet the enemy.

"Retreat!" Seeing that the Song army had moved immediately, Xiao Pu hurriedly ordered, and then they retreated in an orderly manner.

"Stop thieves, let me deal with you!" Black whirlwind Li Kui led a team to meet the enemy, just in time to see Xiao Puda and others retreating, and hurriedly chased after him.

"Tie Niu, come back!"

Song Jiang saw Li Kui chasing him out angrily. He had a bad secret, and he understood the principle of "the poor should not chase after them". There is an ambush.If there is no preparation at all, it is impossible to come and attack.

"Generals Wang and Niu, chase Tieniu back immediately!" Song Jiang asked Wang Gui and Niu Gao to lead the army to chase Li Kui back. He disappeared without a trace, so he could only run forward again at full speed.

"General, Song Jun is catching up!"

"It's good to catch up!" Xiao Pu said with a smile, "Go quickly and let them prepare, and let's give him a big reward."

"Leader!"

Xiao Pu fought and retreated, giving Li Kui the illusion that he was about to be captured.Li Kui chased them for a long time, finally caught up, how could he easily let them go, he didn't want to think too much, he patted his horse's back again and chased after him, waving the axes with both hands continuously.

"Why don't you run away, you ran away!" Li Kui saw that Xiao Puda and others stopped running away, but stood there without moving.

Xiao Pu calmly smiled and said, "It's not that I want to run now, but whether you can escape is a question!"

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Li Kui was about to go to teach them a good lesson, but he didn't expect that there was a lot of commotion from the surrounding mountains, and by the time they saw it clearly, it was already too late.Because a pile of rocks rolled down from the top of the mountain and hit them directly.

Immediately, a thousand soldiers who followed Li Kui were killed and injured, and fell under the stones one after another, unable to move.

Even though Li Kui is very skilled, he can't do anything about the huge stone, so he can only choose to avoid it.However, he was still brushed by the stone.Xiao Pu saw him dodging again and again, so he shot another arrow and hit Li Kui directly in the chest. If he hadn't staggered his body, he might have died.

At this difficult moment, Wang Gui and Niu Gao led soldiers to catch up. Seeing the situation, they immediately went to rescue him.The two of them managed to come to Li Kui's side, and without further ado, they took him and left this place.

Xiao Pu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and said: "Please give me a message, courtesy is reciprocal, this is a return gift to your commander, a small gesture is not a respect!"

Immediately, the Liao army burst into laughter, and Li Kui was very angry with his triumphant appearance. If he hadn't been seriously injured, he would have killed him again.Wang Gui and Niu Gao didn't care about this anymore, they just took Li Kui with them and ran away without looking back.
