Water Margin people

Chapter 899 Chariot
On the south bank of Baigou, from Bazhou to the Baoding Army, corpses were everywhere. Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian directly surrounded the Baoding Army with Qingqi.

"Tong Guan is in the city. As long as Tong Guan is captured alive, the emperor of the Song Dynasty will definitely kill him!"

Yelu Dashi pointed at the Baoding Army and said.

"But this city is tall and has many defenders. We're afraid it won't be easy for us to attack!"

Xiao Qian looked at Baoding Military City.

"Look, there are many soldiers in the Song Dynasty, and their equipment is famously sophisticated. They have crossbows, trebuchets, divine arm bows, and artillery. All we brought are light cavalry, but we can't attack the city!"

Xiao Qian shook his head.

"There is no need to attack the city. If we don't attack the city, I don't believe how long Tong Guan can hold out."

Yelu Dashi said nonchalantly that it would be a good choice to surround the point for reinforcements and eliminate the new forces of the Song Army.

"Then how long are you going to be around?"

Xiao Qian looked at Yelu Dashi and asked, siege is naturally a good idea, but Beiliao doesn't have that time to wait.

"It should reach its limit in half a month!"

Yelu Dashi thought for a while and then said, Tong Guan has so many soldiers and horses, and they can only stay in the city for half a month.

In the military city of Baoding.

"You can be convicted!"

Tong Guan stared at Zhong Shidao and Xin Xingzong in front of him. The east and west armies totaling 10 people were defeated miserably by the Northern Liao people and lost the city. How could he explain this to the court?

"I will be convicted at the end!"

Zhong Shidao and Xin Xingzong had no choice but to bow and accept the crime. In any case, they were defeated.

"Tong Xiang, the enemy is now besieging the Baoding Army. I'm afraid they will break out and send the news out!"

Xin Qizong said.

"So what if you send him out? Who do you expect to come to the rescue!"

Tong Guan shouted, the elites of the Song Dynasty are all here, even if the news is sent out, who else can come to the rescue?If someone comes, where will he put his Privy Tong face?The No. 1 military force of the Song Dynasty, leading 30 elites, was surrounded by tens of thousands of Liao soldiers?
"Tong Xiang, there is someone outside the city calling for war!"

A general rushed in to report.

"Damn!"

Tong Guan became even more furious after hearing this.

"Tong Xiang, the last general is willing to go to war and destroy the arrogance of the Liao people!"

Yang Keshi stood up and cupped his fists.

"Just you?"

Tong Guan looked at Yang Keshi who was covered in scars. Because the wounds were bandaged, Yang Keshi couldn't put on the armor at this time. How could he go out to fight against the generals?

"Fengmei, go!"

Tong Guan looked at Feilong General Feng Mei, who was on his side. This was his general with extraordinary combat power.

"Yes, Tongxiang!"

Fengmei clasped her fists and accepted the order and went out.

……

Liangshan camp.

"The army is setting off to Xijin Mansion in Nanjing!"

Sun Lei looked at the intelligence in his hand and ordered. The intelligence showed that Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian had surrounded Tong Guan. At this time, the rear was empty, which was the time for his surprise attack.

The army moved toward the northwest in a mighty manner.

"Brother, why are you bringing so many cars? We don't even take cars!"

Li Kui looked at the frames and asked with a frown. These cars do not seat people or load cargo. They look like a complete burden.

"Tieniu, don't you understand? The chariot is a weapon against light cavalry!"

Lu Zhi said with a deep smile.

"This doesn't look like a chariot either!"

Li Kui patted the chariot in front of him. It was just a large wooden box nailed to the frame.

"Let you see it!"

Sun Lei smiled and clapped his hands, and Ou Peng chuckled and told the horses to stop. He turned the mechanism on the chariot and fixed the chariot to the ground with a few pieces of wood. The big wooden box spread out, containing caltrops and horses.

The soldiers moved the horses and stuck them around the chariot. The buckles had already been left on the surrounding frames.

"Go and push!" Sun Lei looked at Li Kui and said with a smile.

Li Kui rolled up his sleeves, but he really had no place to start. The chariot had already been bundled up and down with iron caltrops. At this time, the chariot looked like an iron hedgehog and there was no way to start.

"You know how powerful they are! The advantage of the light cavalry is their speed. They are constantly attacking in roundabout ways. They are like a group of hyenas, always wandering around, thinking of sneak attacks, and it is impossible to prevent them."

"With this thing, it's different. It's like wearing a layer of iron armor. The hyenas have no place to bite, and we just push them flatly into their lair!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

He had been waiting for this battle for a long time, but he was not idle. In order to deal with the light cavalry, he brought out a large number of chariots, horses, and caltrops. With these, the infantry no longer feared the cavalry.

"With this thing, wouldn't it be invincible in the world!"

Li Kui was overjoyed.

"What are you thinking about? It means that it is easy to use in Hebei. If it is a mountainous area like Hedong, the chariot cannot move at all. If it is Jiangnan, there are rivers and lakes everywhere and there is no way to move!"

Sun Lei shook his head and said that the Hebei Plain is conducive to light cavalry operations and also gives tanks room to perform.

"What if the enemy sets fire!"

Bao Xu looked at the wooden chariot. It looked like it would burn well.

"This wood has been treated and cannot be burned by ordinary fire."

Sun Lei shook his head.

"Brother, Jizhou has been taken."

Xu Ning came over and said with a smile.

"Haha, it's time to clear out the people from Beiliao from Yanyun!"

Sun Lei laughed out loud.

The army headed all the way towards Xijin Prefecture in Nanjing,

Pang Wanchun, Hua Rong, Sun An, Sui Sheng, Yuan Lang, Zhang Qing, and Qin Ming led their cavalry to open the way ahead, and the sporadic outposts in Northern Liao were directly crushed.

The army arrived all the way outside Xijin.

Facing the sudden enemy, the Xijin Mansion panicked instantly. Yelu Chun hurriedly summoned ministers to discuss countermeasures, but no one in the civil and military dynasty had any idea.

"Your Majesty, Sun Lei is just a rogue bandit in the Song Dynasty. Now he is taking advantage of the emptiness in Northern Liao to threaten Nanjing. I can just send him away with a small profit from his subordinates!"

Prime Minister Zhang Lin said.

Everyone looked at Zhang Lin with strange expressions. Zhang Lin was from Shenzhou, Liao Kingdom. She was not a Khitan, but a native Han nationality. She was a scholar who only knew how to write and write on paper.

"I'm afraid these thieves have too much appetite!"

Yelu Chun was a little moved when he heard Zhang Lin's words. It would be best if he could send away the enemy without any bloodshed.

"It's nothing more than a false reputation!"

Zhang Lin said nonchalantly.

"Okay! Who is willing to meet that Sun Lei?"

Yelu Chun looked at Baiguan and asked.

There was another moment of silence. Xiao Feng, who had been to Liangshan, was not in the court, but Li Chuwen was. However, Li Chuwen did not speak at this time. He had been humiliated last time on his mission. This time he wanted Zhang Lin to do the same. Taste that.

"Let you laugh at me!"

Li Chuwen thought viciously in his heart. When he thought of Zhang Lin's mocking face when he came back last time, Li Chuwen became angry from the bottom of his heart.

In the end, the matter fell on Zhang Lin. Zhang Lin received an imperial edict and left the city with the BMW and fine wine given by Yelu Chun.

Outside the city, Liangshan's army lined up with chariots as walls.

"Brother, someone is coming out!"

Lu Fang pointed to the opened door of Xijin Mansion.

I saw a carriage pulled by four horses slowly walking out of the city gate, surrounded by flags in front and behind.

“The standard of this trip is quite high!”

Sun Lei looked at the scene and smiled.

"The chariot drawn by four horses should be your minister according to ancient etiquette."

Chai Jin said.

"Brother, do you want to see this person?"

Hua Rong looked at Sun Lei and asked.
