Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 811 The Ambition of Iron Palm Lion Tuo

In the darkness of the night, the figures and war horses ran, and after passing through the woods, it was a hill with a slightly wider view. The dilapidated dirt road extended down the hillside, and in the distance was a deserted village that had become a ghost.

The village was deserted only recently, and although there was no one there, there were still not many traces of the ravages of time.This place is close to Hekou County.Xu Bowen, who was tied to the horse, recognized that he had visited here more than a month ago.

There was the sound of wind blowing in my ears, and there was a small noise in the distance. It was a small-scale fight that was taking place.Xu Bowen, who was tied to his horse, held his breath. Someone in the cavalry on this side cast attention into the darkness on the other side. After a while, the sound of fighting stopped.

A man on horseback came running from a distance, holding a torch in his hand, and when he got closer, he reached out and untied the two heads hanging from his waist and left them in the mud ditch by the roadside.Xu Bowen closed his eyes, and heard the man say: "The masters of the rivers and lakes among the two rebels."

"Looks like a pair of brothers and sisters?" Someone seemed to glance into the mud ditch.

"Dog men and women, die together."

There was a whining sound of struggling from the back of the horse, followed by a slap, and another slap, and the man on the horse scolded: "Little bastard!" Xu Bowen probably struggled hard, and was slapped again. .

In the night wind, someone laughed contemptuously, and the horse team continued to move forward.

The village is getting closer, and Hekou County is getting closer.

Being close to Hekou County also means that the possibility of him being rescued has become smaller and smaller, because the main camp of the Liao Army is here.

Presumably no one can describe the concept of war in detail.

To sum it up, the closest sentence might be "everything is used".Since the existence of human beings, no matter what means and things, as long as they can happen, they may appear in war.

Since the fall of Daxiaguan more than 20 days ago and the cavalry of the Liao army entered Yinzhou, the territory of Yinzhou has gradually become a chaotic and dangerous area.

The dispersal of the native people, the appearance and gathering of the rebels, and the fighting between the Xiangfu army and the Liao army in this vicinity turned the hundreds of miles around into a chaotic killing field.

Before the decisive offensive and defensive battle in Hekou County officially started, the Liao army sent out troops as much as possible to kill and arrest the rebels and even the people of Yinzhou in order to get more food and grass from the grass valley without being disrupted by the rebels.In the initial friction, some special brigade detachments sent by Bai Canghai tried to pick up some refugees and sent them to the temporary safe settlements in Longzhou and Xiajing around Yinzhou, and at the same time responded to and rescued the rebels.

Three days ago, for a group of common people, near Daxiaguan, the Liao army who was in charge of escorting food and grass mobilized 1000 elites to try to ambush the special brigade. Anti-encirclement with more than [-] rebels, and then encircled and aided to expand the results.The Liao army massacred the people to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. This small battle almost expanded. Later, the special brigade gained the upper hand and refrained from withdrawing troops. Half of the refugees were slaughtered.

Therefore, in the gaps between the overall confrontation, the massacre of the refugees has never eased.Bai Canghai finally dispatched a team of 500 people to patrol in batches to pick up the people who fled from the Liao people. Occasionally, in the woods and in the wild, they saw the tragic images of civilians being slaughtered and looted. Those old people who were killed With the child, the woman who was raped and killed after being raped... After these special brigade soldiers came back, when they talked about these things, they wished they could rush to the battlefield immediately, drink the blood of the enemy, and eat their flesh and blood.These special brigade soldiers have also become more capable people.

Xu Bowen is not very clear about these things, but he knows that his father will never, nor have the ability to order many troops or experts to save him, and the deputy head of the army will at most send a wave of experts in the army to rescue him. It is impossible to change their plan to carry out guerrilla warfare behind the Liao army in Hekou County when they left Yinzhou to attract the Liao army, and lead 1000 people to rescue themselves.

Especially when he realized the strength of his Liao team, Xu Bowen vaguely realized that his chances of survival were slim.

Yesterday, the black-faced giant who shot ten miles west of Yinzhou City defeated him and the guard with one move. When he woke up, he was already thirty miles away from Yinzhou City.Waiting for them was a core team of about 100 people, consisting of both Khitan and Han Chinese, all of whom were martial arts masters.After catching him, he kept running around a hundred miles away from Hekou County.

At this time, the masters of the Xuanwu Army sent by Huang Dongqiu to rescue him had already caught up. When Xu Bowen woke up, he did not have a nervous breakdown in despair. He first calmly recognized the situation in front of him. , Xu Bowen began to realize something was wrong.

The leader of the team that hijacked him was a bald, middle-aged man in his forties. He was Tiezhang Shituo. He led more than 100 people, of whom at least 30 could be called Jianghu. First-class masters, apart from Iron Palm Shituo, the one with the highest martial arts is the black-faced man who hijacked him before.This man has a fierce face and doesn't talk much, but Tiezhang Shituo also called Brother Zhong when facing him.Xu Bowen has very little experience in the world, and the only thing he has is what he heard from his master and the guards at home, but he vaguely thinks of a person in his heart, that is the first-class master of the world who once ruled the Northland, "Troll Hand" Zhong Tiezhu.

At the beginning, the Huaxia Weifu collected all kinds of information from the Jianghu.After Xiangfu Kingdom was founded, and after Huaxia Weifu was split and reorganized, these information security departments, special brigades, and dark security divisions all had reservations. If Bai Canghai saw this person, he would definitely be able to recognize his identity from the hand.Because this person, like Tiezhang Shituo, is just a first-class master who is slightly inferior to super-class masters such as Bai Canghai, Yufeng, Yu Daoxiang, and Ye Chen. He is a Han from the Yanyun area. running dog.

In the competition between the military formations, the meaning of a master is to become a general and gather the morale of the army, but the pursuit and escape of the two teams is another matter.In the first day, this team was intercepted twice by the scouts of the special brigade. The scouts of the special brigade were all elite, and their skills were not weak. In front of these experts, it was hard to beat them. Zhong Tiezhu didn't even make a move himself. The people in the past chased and killed those scouts.It's just that Zhong Tiezhu thought it was an elite scout in the ordinary army, but he didn't know it was a scout from the special brigade.

Xu Bowen could also see that the middle-aged man who was riding with him at this time and who was in charge of watching over him was white-faced and beardless, short in stature, and shaped like a ball. His master seems to have mentioned to him about the extremely deep kungfu of softness. This person seems to be Zhu Gangshi, the murderous man who once ran rampant in the northwest. The two aristocratic families in Zhaofu were full of families, and they were rewarded with high rewards by the government of Song Dynasty. They disappeared in the rivers and lakes of Song Dynasty. At this time, Liao Kingdom attacked Xiangfu Kingdom.

In addition to these two people, there are also outstanding light kungfu masters among these people, masters of Wusanshou and Baibuquan, first-class swordsmanship and saber skills, and martial arts murderers who have integrated every move and every move. The Liao people living among them are also agile and skilled in archery. They are the most powerful warriors in the Liao army.

Xu Bowen didn't know that in the previous confrontations between the Xiangfu Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom, it had revealed that it had many martial arts masters, especially the important officials of the Liao Kingdom's court were kidnapped at one time in Shangjing City half a year ago. More than 20 people left a deep impression on the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom.For this reason, Empress Dowager Xiao specially allocated 10 taels of silver to let Tiezhang Shituo, who was once the top master in the northern rivers and lakes, secretly win over and organize such a team of masters.This time Iron Palm Shituo came to Yinzhou to bring these people, just to prove the value of these people and the results of his hard work. After returning, he directly brought these people to the Eagle Eye Guard and became the new helm of the Eagle Eye Guard. people.

On the first day, Xu Bowen was still lucky. However, this group of troops killed the scouts of the Xiangfu Army twice. At night, the Xuanwu Army sent by Huang Dongqiu was chasing after him. Deputy Battalion Commander Dou Fei was ambushed and killed by the opponent, and Xu Bowen was completely desperate.

Xu Bowen has been smart since he was a child and has both civil and military skills. At this time, he can already see that this team is led by Tiezhang Shituo, who obviously thinks highly of himself, and wants to disrupt Yinzhou's offensive and defensive forces surrounding Hekou County by himself. volunteer army.Such a large area, with more than a hundred masters running around, cannot be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Even if a small group of elites can rush up from behind, without the leadership of Gao Wuyang and other experts, it will be difficult to get there.And to organize a large number of rebels, the main force of the Liao army that besieged Hekou County will inevitably be alarmed.This is exactly the good opportunity that the Liao army could only dream of, and it would be an opportunity to wipe out the rebels who are as annoying as flies and mosquitoes.

it's getting dark.

Tian Guangming, an elite scout sent by Hu Sanguang, is standing on the observation and reconnaissance building of the city wall, holding the telescope given to him by Hu Sanguang, which is called Qianlijing by Xiangfu Kingdom, and observing the distant places outside the city through the transparent lens. enemy camp.

The Liao army directly set up the camp in a village near the county seat.From the binoculars, it can be seen very clearly that in the villages closest to the city, all the people entering and leaving are tiny figures like ants.

From the geographical point of view, villages are generally built on higher terrain, and at the same time, villages are directly connected to roads, and the transportation is also convenient.and houses, so as not to pitch a tent.In terms of defense, a village with a solid wall is far more reliable than a temporary camp.If there is drinking water in the village, it will be an excellent place to stay.Now it's just a lack of food, grass and water.
