Chapter 717 Sneak Attack
"Explore the truth?"

Zong Ze squinted his eyes and thought about it. This proposal is really good. He has not fought the Khitans so far. Since he cannot know himself and the enemy, it is naturally impossible to win every battle.

"Junshi Xiao is right, you might as well go across the river to have a look!"

Sun Lei immediately spoke in approval.

"Without further delay, Xiao Jiasui, Li Zhu, Gongsun Sheng, Zong Ze, Zhang Shuye, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Sun An, Yang Zhi, Hua Rong, Pang Wanchun, order another [-] elite cavalry, and cross the river tonight to see .”

Sun Lei immediately pointed out a few people, and the Liao people could attack at any time.

"By the way, is there no response from Bazhou?"

Sun Lei looked at Gongsun Sheng and asked, the Liao Kingdom assembled an army, and Bazhou, as one of the northern fortresses of the Great Song Dynasty, should have some movement.

"Brother, those people hope that we will lose both sides in the fight with Liao, or that we will kill more Liao people."

Gongsun Sheng looked disdainfully at the direction of Bazhou on the other side of the Yellow River. If those people in Song Dynasty were really bloody, Yan Yun wouldn't be unable to take them back for a hundred years.

"Then let them see what a man's true colors are!"

Sun Lei said coldly.

It was night, and Sun Lei led the crowd across the Yellow River quietly. The Liao Kingdom still left some sentry posts along the Haihe River, but because of the lack of cities to rely on, the sentry posts were just fortresses and beacon towers, which served as early warnings.

"Brother, why don't you touch it!"

Sun An pointed to the Liao sentry post in the distance and whispered to Sun Lei.

"Well, be careful, don't let anyone go!"

Sun Lei nodded.

Sun An took dozens of soldiers and touched them in the dark.

Although the Song Dynasty and the Liao people are only separated by the Baigou River, in the past few decades, the Liao Kingdom has always gone south to provoke. The cavalry habitually hid in the outpost drinking and laughing.

Holding two black swords in his hand, Sun An quietly arrived at the Liao sentry post. After finding out that everyone was inside the post, he kicked open the wooden door, brandished his two swords and entered. The soldiers behind Sun An It is also filed in.

The Liao people who were drinking, chatting and laughing didn't react at all, and there was a massacre, leaving only one Liao person wearing an officer's armor.

"Who are you!"

The leading officer of the Liao Kingdom looked at the person in front of him with a look of fear on his face. There were dozens of his subordinates drinking together just now, and in a blink of an eye, he was the only one left.

"The one who will kill you."

Sun Lei walked into the post with a smile and said.

"You are the thieves on the other side of the river!"

The officers of the Liao Kingdom finally realized that they were about to start a war with the enemy on the other side of the Yellow River.

"The thief also said that?"

Sun An stepped on the Liao man's face, only pressing the Liao man's head to the ground.

"Looking at you, you should be a smart person. Let's talk about Wuqing's situation."

Sun Lei looked at the Liao officer and said with a smile.

"Don't think about it, the Khitan warriors will never betray their own people! You despicable thieves, if you have the ability, fight head-on!"

The Liao officer roared, with an unyielding and loyal appearance.

"Khitan warriors? I think they are Khitan cowards. A group of Jurchens who come out of the mountains can kill you every step of the way. Now you still have the guts to speak out."

"If you don't say it, I will naturally have a way for you to say it, so that he can taste the torture."

Sun Lei didn't bother to talk nonsense, and ordered directly with a wave of his hand.

"Order!"

Sun An grimaced, swiped the black sword in his hand, and cut off the two fingers of the Liao man. The Liao man wailed like a pig in pain.

"Warriors are not warriors, they are all flesh and blood, don't pretend to be forceful, tell the truth, and you can suffer less flesh and blood."

Sun Lei looked at the howling Liao people and smiled, the fact that he could howl so loudly showed that he was not a tough guy with strong bones.

"Don't tell me? Next time, instead of two fingers, I want a palm!"

Sun Lei chuckled.

"I said! I said!"

The Liao officer was sweating coldly from the pain, and finally succumbed.

"Say it!"

Sun An urged again.

"It's Jizhou General Yelu Dezhong, he wants to take down Cangzhou, and the army goes south to enter Shandong!"

"This time the troops were led by Generals Tianshan Yong and Baomisheng of Jizhou. They brought [-] elite Khitans and [-] servants to station in Wuqing County. The food and grass are not yet ready. It will take three to five days before they arrive. Will cross the river and go down."

The Liao man told everything he knew as soon as he opened his mouth.

After Sun Lei heard this, he turned around and left the post. Seeing this, Sun An swung the black sword in his hand and gave the Liao people a happy one.

"Brother, it looks like we still have some time."

Gongsun Sheng said, the enemy's food and grass are not ready yet, they still have time to prepare.

"No, I can't give them time to prepare. I will go to attack at night today. I will burn all their food and grass!"

Sun Lei squinted his eyes and said, how could it be possible to wait for the enemy to be ready before going to war, what he likes most is to beat the dog in the water when you are sick and kill you!
"Brother, isn't this a little risky!"

Gongsun Sheng looked at Sun Lei and persuaded, if other people go, it doesn't matter if they take risks, but Sun Lei is in danger of Liangshan, so he must not take risks.

"Anyway, the Liao people don't know we're here, so let's go tonight and leave in the morning!"

Sun Lei said, this place is only [-] miles away from Wuqing, if you rush forward on Qingqi, you can arrive in the middle of the night.

Hearing Sun Lei's words, everyone was gearing up for a big fight.

Three hundred cavalrymen quietly disappeared into the night.

Wuqing County.

"It's been so many years, the top is finally ready to go south!"

Tianshan Yong said with a smile while holding the wine glass.

"It's time to go south. The rich and fertile land of the Central Plains is a waste for those weak and incompetent Song people!"

Baomi Sheng also laughed and said.

The upper echelons of the Liao Kingdom have coveted the Central Plains for a long time, but due to the lack of Khitan population and the large control area in the early years, they signed the Chanyuan Alliance with the Great Song Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom is under a lot of pressure, and going south is a good choice.

"Shangjing has been breached. Although the Jurchens have withdrawn their troops, they will come back soon. If they can take Shandong and Hebei, they can completely abandon the bitter cold places like Tokyo and Shangjing."

Tian Shanyong said again, in the eyes of the Khitan people, the Song people in the south are no threat, they are just a group of lambs raised in pens, and now it's time to slaughter them.

"Is the war in the north so difficult?"

Sheng Baomi asked with a frown. He knew that the battles with the Jurchen ended in disastrous defeats, but he never thought that the former slaves could fight against them now.

"It is said that His Majesty the Emperor is ready to give up going to Beijing, and retreat to Zhongjing and Xijing."

Tian Shan bravely opened his mouth and said.

"If I knew this earlier, I should have killed those Jurchens in the first place!"

Baomi Sheng said with a ferocious face, Jurchen was very weak back then, and she survived entirely by relying on the Khitan tribe.

"As long as we win Cangzhou in this battle, the whole Shandong will be at our fingertips, and it won't matter if we lose Tokyo and Shangjing."

Tianshan bravely raised his wine glass and said, there are great differences among the top leaders of the Liao Kingdom, those who are strong in fighting against the Jin, those who are strong in negotiating peace, and those who want to unite with Song and Xixia to fight against the Jin.
