Chapter 53 Escape

Zezhou, Gaoping.

This city has become a key transportation site for the Liao army's supplies and materials in Yangtoushan. Since Geng Chongmei led his army north, it has transported military supplies to the front line twice.

Early in the morning, the morning mist had not yet dissipated, and a team of supplies composed of dozens of chariots slowly headed north under the escort of a battalion of Liao troops. Among them, the carts were more than 300 local tyrants who were forced to be requisitioned.

This time the transport was very unsuccessful. Before leaving Gaoping, he was attacked. First, the strong ants gathered in the nearby villages and attacked, and then suddenly a "Jin army" rushed out from the side. The leading general looked very fierce. The strong men who were forced to seek labor also took the opportunity to resist. Soon, the Liao army was completely wiped out.

The battle ended quickly and the scene quickly calmed down. After the "Jin Army" took some military supplies, all the remaining grain and equipment were divided into "Rebel Army" and the people were like bandits and thieves. Under the stability of the "Jin Army", dozens of vehicles of supplies were quickly divided up.

The general who led the army was naturally Li Wanchao. He was ordered to lead the Surui Camp, choose another remote path, sneak into Zezhou, and make a decision on Geng Chongmei's retreat. He was fighting at home, and there was no shortage of people familiar with mountains, rivers and roads in the army, and the march was very smooth. After entering Zezhou, he quickly discovered the situation in Gaoping and had time to organize some "rebel troops" to cooperate in combat.

Riding on the horse, strangling the reins, sweeping the mess, Li Wanchao ordered: "Everything is quick..."

Smelling the bloody smell in the air, Li Wanchao licked his lips, his eyes cold, and murmured: "It's a pity that they are all Yan soldiers. When will they have the chance to kill the real Khitan again!"

A few "rebels" were left to help the war, and the rest of the people were all dismissed by Li Wanchao. Turning his horse's head, Li Wanchao stared straight at the south, and ordered a subordinate soldier: "Change in the enemy's uniform and go to the city to deceive!"

"yes!"

"General, what should we do with these prisoners?" asked a small school student at this time.

There were less than 300 Liao troops escorting military supplies, about half of which were killed, and the rest were captured. Li Wanchao glanced at the side of the passage. Those prisoners who had been confiscated and guarded were all Yan people. He frowned, but hesitated not much. He waved his hand and said coldly: "All of them are killed."

Under the order, the Surui soldiers under his command immediately waved the butcher knife, and more than a hundred prisoners struggled to resist powerlessly.

Although Li Wanchao was very wise and upright in front of Liu Chengyou, he was ruthless on the battlefield. He licked blood on the tip of the knife, and the generals who came out of the sea of ​​blood were very hard.

After a simple cleaning, Sergeant Surui decisively headed south under the leadership of Li Wanchao, leaving only a tragic scene in the ground, and the smell of blood in the air became much stronger...

There were still hundreds of Yan soldiers guarding the city. Li Wanchao thought of the city when he saw that the enemy was completely wiped out. The effect was very good. The Yan Bing Military Academy, who was guarding the city, was not a cautious person. The soldiers under his command put on blood armor and pretended to be defeated. He easily opened the city gate. Li Wanchao, who was hiding outside the city, led his army to suddenly enter.

......

North, frontal battlefield.

"I'm wrong! I'm wrong!" Geng Chongmei murmured in the Taiwan military tent. Her voice was almost sobbing, and her face was full of fatigue and lust. In the past two days, he seemed to have gotten a little older.

The "Jin Army" on the opposite side was very strange. It was forced to come, but it was obsessed with consolidating the camp. It was an attacking intention, but it was a defensive attitude.

After tentative tests of all sizes, he could not see the sinister intentions of the "Jin Army" at this point. Although he was still uncertain, what else would Liu Chengyou do to make a conspiracy next, he knew that he and his Yan soldiers were already in danger.

Perhaps in order to agree with him, the premonition quickly became a reality. Geng Ya will hurried in and report in panic: "Ship Ji, come from behind to report that Gao Ping was attacked?"

Hearing his words, Geng Chongmei's old eyebrows locked up at the time, and his expression became gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye. He took a heavy breath: "When did it happen? Who attacked? How many people were there in the enemy?"

Although Geng Chongmei had a shock on her face, she was not much surprised. Instead, she felt a sense of understanding. She tried her best to remain calm and asked about the specific situation.

"It should be this morning. It was a Jin army with the "Liu" flag and some local unruly people in Zezhou. It is still unknown which Hedong army and how many people are there..." Ya Jiang replied.

"Waste!" Suddenly, Geng Chongmei pointed to the dusk scene outside and scolded: "I have just come to report on what happened this morning. The enemy has been around behind us. I don't even know what kind of people they are. What do you want?"

He was so scolded that he was speechless that he buried his head in shame.

Geng Chongmei had a very ugly face, twisted it together, clenched her old fists, and pondered hard. Before he could come up with a solution, another small school broke into the tent and reported nervously: "Jie Shuai, the governor of Zezhou Zhai Lingqi rebelled. He summoned the military and civilians under his rule in Jincheng, killed our people, and announced that the city would be used to surrender to the pseudo-Emperor Liu Zhiyuan..."

If Gao Ping's fall only scared Geng Chongmei, then Zezhou's body would make him feel cold all over his body, and a suffocating feeling came. After a few rapid breaths, he suddenly felt a little painful in his heart and murmured: "What a quick action..."

Gaoping's Jin army obviously walked the path and crossed the mountains. As for the "shocking changes" in Zezhou, it was obvious that there were also secretly hands and feet in Hedong. Governor Zhai Lingqi, Geng Chongmei knew that he was a timid man and would never dare to rebel easily, but now he just pulled the flag and made trouble!

"Jiang Zheng, once Zezhou is lost, our army's retreat will be completely cut off." The general seemed to be enlightened and said uneasy: "Now the Hedong army is in front, and there are partial troops covering the back, and the grain and equipment are interrupted..."

The more I spoke, the weaker the tone, and finally put all my hopes on the veteran: "What should we do, you said?"

"What should I do?" Geng Chongmei also asked herself.

Since he entered the Khitan administration, he has been with two generations of Khitan rulers, even if he led troops to fight. This time, he was led alone and did not fight much, but he was forced to such a dangerous and difficult situation without knowing it. The commander of the Hedong Army opposite was still a child who was not as good as the champion. Geng Chongmei felt really uncomfortable.

After all, they are old people who have experienced the world. Geng Chongmei gradually calmed down and analyzed the situation in front of her with a clear mind. She thought about her actions these days and said in a sneering tone: "I am hesitating about these days. It seems that I will be decisive tonight!"

"Send the order!" As soon as he finished speaking, Geng Chongmei turned around and waved her sleeves, and seriously and decisively attacked the two generals and the school road.

......

It was still early, and Liu Chengyou still read it safely in the tent. The book he read was called "The Spring and Autumn Ancient Times of the Tang Dynasty" by Li Quan, a famous Taoist priest in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It is said that Guo Wei loves reading this book, so Liu Chengyou took it to take a look. The so-called "guarding the country with righteousness, using strange troops to use military force, and conquer survival and destruction, and recording the success or failure of the wise and foolish. This book is still interesting.

"Your Highness, there is movement in the Liao camp."

Ma Quanyi hurriedly reported, immediately asked Liu Chengyou to wake up, put down the book, took off his helmet and put it on, and called his personal soldiers to follow Ma Quanyi out of the tent, wanting to go and inspect.

As we walked, we asked, "What's the situation?"

"The Liao army may be about to escape!" Ma Quanyi said.
