Chapter 327 Ambush

Bingfeng did not live in the camp arranged by Zhong Yan for him, nor was he with his senior brothers, but with Li Quan. He asked Yang Chongyue for a banquet to shock Li Quan, but what no one knew was that the wine Li Quan and he drank had the same poison as Liang Yi-beaten. Bingfeng had an antidote, but Li Quan did not!

Even if Li Qing dies, Li Quan is the leader of this army. Since Zhong Yan decided to capture the Jianing Army to force Li Qing to surrender, except for Li Qing, everyone who has a relationship with Li Qing can inherit this army will die. Only in this way can we ensure that after the Po Xi army surrenders to the Song Dynasty, it will not become a local force.

No matter what, even if Li Quan has no ambition, he, as Li Qing's most promising son, must not live in this world. However, in comparison, Li Qing's other two sons are still young and have never been in the army. Instead, they regard this as a blessing, not in the frozen sight. What Wang Jinghui often says to him in private is that the assassin is not a butcher, and no matter how many people kill, it is useless. In "Records of the Grand Historian", the Grand Historian is willing to publish a biographical article for Cao Mo, Zhu Zhu, Yu Rang, Nie Zheng, Jing Ke and others, with Lao Tzu, Han Xin, Su Qin, Zhang Yi and others. The reason behind this is intriguing.

Bingfeng himself had no feelings about the identity of an assassin himself. Although what he did was the most confidential thing for the prince-consort and would never be known. But he was proud of it - being able to repay the prince-consort for his rebirth and doing something for this country. This opportunity was not always available. As for the future, he didn't think much about it, and he believed that the prince-consort would not treat him badly and would give him a very perfect way out, but he always felt a little sad. His favorite book was the biographies of the assassin in "Records of the Grand Historian", but he did not like Jing Ke due to the influence of the prince-consort. According to the prince-consort's opinion, Jing Ke achieved his heroic image, but accelerated the demise of Yan State, which was contrary to Jing Ke's essential goal of assassinating the King of Qin.

On the third day of the Bingfeng, he returned to the Jianing Military Office. The final negotiation result was to exchange 10,000 horses for Li Quan's life. When Bingfeng returned, Zhong Yan's troops gathered in Gu Wuyan City had reached 50,000, and various siege equipment had basically been in place. All the firearms stored in Wuning's Three Forts arrived in Gu Wuyan City. In the next two days, there would be 30,000 Song troops to arrive in Gu Wuyan City one after another, but Zhong Yan would not use these 30,000 reinforcements to attack the city. These were the cavalry that came from Shilijing day and night. They were used to deal with Li Qing's reinforcements.

The news brought by the local area of ​​the Frozen made the generals in the Jianing Military Office feel a little relieved. Although tens of thousands of war horses were a little more, it was worth paying such a price. There were no less than 30,000 war horses in the Jianing Military Office, but there was no such many cavalry to use them. It was still no problem to draw 10,000 from them to exchange for Li Quan. The most important thing is that the Song army's actions meant that the Song Dynasty had no intention of attacking the Jianing Military Office, and just wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob and get some benefits. No matter whether the relationship between the Song army and the Song Dynasty was war or harmony after the Poxi Army was war or harmony. These were all things that the great general Li Qing was considering, and they didn't have to bother. They were only able to survive this crisis.

The news that the Song army was unintentionally attacking the Jianing Military Office made everyone optimistic. Wang Shun also took this opportunity to dismiss some of the Jianing Military Office who were temporarily recruited into the army, and the improvement of the city defense fortifications was also interrupted. According to the results of the negotiations, Wang Shun delivered the war horses to the Song army in three batches tomorrow. The first batch was 3,000, the day after tomorrow was 2,000, and the last 5,000 war horses were delivered four days later. At the same time, during the third exchange, the Song army also released Li Quan. In addition, as the price for the Song army to withdraw, the Jianing Military Office had to pay 5,000 cattle, 20,000 sheep, and 5,000 stones of food. This cost was not high, but these were all easy to deal with. Compared with ancient Wuyan City, Naiwangjing and Dawu Shenliudui and other cities, it was worth paying this price, and it was also a sign of another dispute.

Originally, everyone thought that the people of the Jianing Military Office could not accept such terms, especially when they started the exchange so quickly, which obviously put them at a disadvantage. However, every family has a difficult sutra - once Li Qing comes back, his son is still in the hands of the Song army, and no one can imagine what Li Qing will do, and not everyone can bear Li Qing's anger. The only solution is to exchange Li Quan back quickly. Although the price paid is a little higher, it can solve the dilemma of exchange between Li Quan and the Jianing Military Office being surrounded.

The exchange on the first day was three thousand war horses and one thousand stones of food. Everything was normal. It might be that the Song army was in control, so unlike the situation where the Jianing Army sent more than 10,000 cavalrymen, the Song army had only a few hundred people and a large number of civilians, which made everyone feel a little relieved--the Song army was still very trustworthy.

The next day was two thousand war horses, ten thousand sheep, three thousand cows and one thousand stones of food. The exchange scene was still very calm and there was no abnormality. The people from the Jianing Military Division still sent more than 10,000 cavalry, but what surprised them was that the two Poxi generals who were in charge of the exchange were allowed to come to the Song army camp ten miles away from Guwuyan City. They saw Li Quan, the protagonist who would be exchanged tomorrow.

The friendly approach of the Song army made the people of the Jianing Army more believe in the sincerity of the Song army. Although they could not find out the specific strength of the Song army, the other party did not have any offensive posture, which made everyone relieved. However, they did not intend to relax the exchange on the last day, but instead increased the number of guards for the third exchange to 20,000 - this was Wang Shun's suggestion. Although all the generals thought that this seemed to be unnecessary, no one would stand up to oppose it. Instead, they praised Wang Shun for his youthful age.

They didn't know that Zhong Yan, and the highlight of Yang Chongyue and Wang Shun's discussion was on this third day. Obtaining so much materials from the Jianing Military Office was originally an unplanned thing, and Zhong Yan and others did not expect to succeed. However, the existence of a frozen land greatly reduced the difficulty. The most important guarantee for batch exchange was that the people of the Jianing Military Office could see the hostage Li Quan, so that they could know the sincerity of the Song army, so as to achieve the goal of paralyzing the enemy, and obtaining local materials could also make the Song army's war preparations more sufficient. As for the captives of the Poxi army except Li Qing, they had already moved to the rear. Now they were probably in Wuning Fort.

During the last day of exchange, the Song army finally sent 15,000 cavalry troops. Although this was a bit abnormal, the two generals of the Poxi Army who visited Li Quan yesterday had brought the news back to the Jianing Military Office in advance. According to the agreement, this was also the preparation for the Song army to prevent the Poxi Army from changing their minds. Moreover, they had already reported it in advance, so no one would think that there was anything wrong with this. More importantly, the two sides were similar in strength in the exchange venue, and it was obviously not easy to eat the other party.

In fact, there were indeed generals of the Poxi Army who suggested to tamper with the last exchange. As soon as Li Quan got his hands, he would attack the Song army and use the Jianing Army's troops to surround Guwuyan City. The amount of materials exchanged for Li Quan was huge. The Song army would not allow so many materials to travel to the grassland. At that time, they would eat the bad things, and if they were solved, the Song army would swallow the materials. However, Wang Shun strongly rejected this suggestion - the situation around the Jianing Army has not yet stabilized. At this time, offending the Song army for a small loss, the Song army had an excuse to send troops openly. It was not a good thing.

Sometimes Wang Shun was also moved by such changes. If this were the case, the Song army would probably eat tigers with pigs and eliminate all the guard forces of the Jianing Army Division in the field, so that they would not have to consume too much strength in the tragic siege battle. However, at this time, Wang Shun had no excuse to go out of the city to visit Guwuyan City again to convey the message. He had no clue about the combat capabilities of the Song army in field battles. On the contrary, the seemingly tragic siege battle was easier with the Song army's sufficient siege equipment and firearms to cheer. After all, in siege battles, no matter how many cavalry you have or how well you are, it would be useless. In such a small combat space, the cavalry could not play its due role.

Even Wang Shun didn't know that Zhong Yan was determined to take down the Jianing Military Office this time. After waiting for the two days, the troops under his command had reached more than 80,000, which had long exceeded the 60,000 mobs in the Jianing Military Office. These more than 80,000 Song troops were the essence of the essence of the Song Dynasty's garrison in the Northwest Central, and the proportion of cavalry was as high as 50,000. They had participated in several battles and were considered experienced veterans. Perhaps if Zhong Yan knew that the remaining generals of the Poxi Army in the Jianing Military Office were still fighting and eating black, they would be even more welcome. However, the intelligence line was not smooth, and it was really worthwhile to expose the ice for this reason, so he would not suppress it.

The two sides exchanged at the scheduled location. After waiting for the civilian transport brigade to go away, the generals in charge of the exchange of Song Army personally led a team of personal troops to send Li Quan to the center of the two armies, and then handed it over to the other generals of the Poxi Army, and then drove back to their own formation and slowly retreated with alert formation.

The Poxi Army also escorted Li Quan to retreat northward and tried to return to the Jianing Military Office earlier to report. However, the Poxi Army only walked ten miles away and was ambushed by the Song army who were ambushing here early. A team of 10,000 cavalry appeared from behind the low mound without warning under the banner of the Jianing Military Office. The Poxi Army thought it was the cavalry coming to pick up, but when they were three hundred steps apart, they realized that this was the murderous Song army in the Poxi Army uniform!

The Song army rushed over did not give Poxi Army any chance to react, and rushed directly to his flanks. Before they got close, there was a rain of arrows. The Poxi Army soldiers who were caught in the arrow immediately fell off their horses - all the arrows were poisoned! The poisoned arrows also reminded the identity of the enemy opposite the Poxi Army - this is the ghost cavalry of the Song Dynasty! Wuxin was in the northwest battlefield for more than a year, and the use of poisoned weapons and erratic combat methods were the symbols of this mysterious army. What impressed Poxi Army was that it was this army that attacked hundreds of miles with less than two or three thousand people, and killed hundreds of miles to Nai Wangjing, burning Nai. After Wangjing, he left calmly, so that the general Li Qing's personal army personally took the lead in chasing, which only caused them to retreat to the Song Dynasty.

Wuxin's special forces were greatly strengthened by Zhong Yan. In order to attack the Poxi Army this time, he even specially selected 5,000 elite cavalry for Wuxin to command and fight. In this way, Wuxin could command more than 10,000 people. Although the elite troops were still the two thousand special forces he brought, on this frontal battlefield, more people could cause lethality. The entire army used poison of arrow poison - this was the stock in Fu Bi's hands.

The unintentional iron cavalry was like a black locust, penetrated straight from the right wing of the Poxi Army, cutting the Poxi Army's camp into two pieces. The soldiers under their command drew their bows left and right, waved the long sword in their hands, and interspersed without any desire to fight. From the beginning to the beginning of their appearance, their figures disappeared into the grassland. It was only a moment in the middle, but in contrast, the Poxi Army actually killed seven or eight thousand people!

This was extremely shocking. When Li Quan saw this, he recalled the scene when the Song army broke through Lianmuzhai that day. A mysterious Song cavalry disrupted the front line that he had originally begun to consolidate, causing his defeat that night. The same army chased him from Wuning Fort to Guwuyan City. Looking through the bodies of the fallen soldiers, they were all black or blue. Even if they were cut with a little wound, they would be poisoned and died immediately. This scene made everyone in the hearts of the earth feel a little chilled.

For such an army, Li Quan and the generals of the Poxi Army did not have the courage to order pursuit. Moreover, the raid was only a moment of escape. Even their own resistance was the subconscious behavior of the soldiers. When they woke up, they had already run away without a trace. But fortunately, this raid army of ten thousand people was just a sneak attack and did not intend to fight them with real swords and guns. Otherwise, although they were twice as good as the enemy, they were really unsure of whether they could win.

The Poxijun who was escorting Li Quan didn't know. After just a sneak attack, Wuxin suddenly stopped at a place not far away from them after breaking away from contact. Wuxin turned around and looked at the direction of Poxijun, knowing that he was outside the other party's sight. He raised the long sword in his hand, and the large group of people immediately stood up, showing that although the army was temporarily pieced together, the overall quality was very good.

"Send the order! The whole army tied a red scarf on its right arm, and the rear army turned into a vanguard, and fought back along the way! Dear good men from the Song Dynasty, can I dare to return to kill the enemy?!" Wuxin shouted at the great victory of the cavalry in front of him who had not suffered much loss.

"Yes!" All the soldiers raised their long swords or crossbow arrows and shouted in unison. For a moment, everyone's chest was filled with hot blood. Many of them were originally Han people living on the border of Song and Xia, but they were all harassed by the Xixia Party Xiang army. Almost everyone's family was killed or captured by the Xixia soldiers, and some of their whole family was killed by the Xixia soldiers, and they had long formed an irreconcilable hatred with Xixia. This was specially arranged by Fu Bi and Zhong Yan, so that these people could enter the unintentional special forces to burst out the maximum combat power of these soldiers.

Wuxin let out a long roar and rode his horse from the soldiers out of the middle aisle to meet the back team. The back team then fought back again in the direction of retreat!

When Li Quan inspected the bodies of the dead soldiers, in addition to his indignation and fear of the attack on the Song army, he also felt in his heart that there was someone watching him from afar. He quickly raised his head and looked around. For a moment, he fixed his gaze on the mound that he had just set out without any intention in front of him.

"The whole army is on guard and form a formation to meet the enemy!" Li Quan shouted loudly.

"Major General, what's wrong with it?" The general next to him was shocked by Li Quan's sudden order.

"There are Song troops ambushing on the mound!" Li Quan looked at the mound in front of him coldly.

Regardless of whether there were enemies or not, the Major General's orders must be implemented. Poxijun immediately stopped the operation of packing up the bodies of comrades and formed a formation at a rapid speed. His sharp edge was facing the mound not far ahead.

"Didn't you tell you not to look up?!" Yang Chongyue said to the side general next to him hatefully.

"We all obey the general's orders, and no one looked up. General, look, everyone was crawling on the ground, even the horses were wrapped in cloth, and the highest one was us..." The general said innocently.

"What a fucking evil! Could it be that this general has taken a look at it? Li Quan can actually calculate and calculate that we are still ambushing here?" Yang Chongyue said with some annoyance. He knew that his side was not wrong. The soldiers under his command were all ambushing carefully according to his instructions. It was impossible for the opponent to find him.

Yang Chongyue did wrongly accuse his subordinates, and Li Quan did not have the ability to calculate just like Zhuge Liang. The target was himself, to be precise, the telescope in his hand! He didn't know that it was him who used a telescope to observe the situation opposite, which made Li Quan discover the sunlight reflected by the telescope lens. Li Quan had already discovered that the telescope reflected the sunlight when he was fighting with Yang Chongyue in Wuning Fort. He also knew that the status of the generals in the Song army who could have telescopes on the front line to observe the enemy situation would definitely not be low, so he guessed that there was an ambush from the Song army here.
