The army began to gather, and Xiao Ying was promoted to the tent to gather the generals. Soon, the people sent for verification came with the news that the Su family's army was in Qianchong Mountain. This was certain.
"Okay, let's set off with the army, and let's fight to determine the outcome." Xiao Ying's face showed a rare solemnity.
Half of the 120,000 troops were dispatched at once, a total of 60,000 people. The remaining half were all waiting for news in the army. Once the war started, they would arrive soon.
Thousand Chong Mountain.
As you can tell from the name, there are probably a lot of poisonous insects, mosquitoes and ants here.
But in Su Shi's army, we didn't see many people with bumps on their faces or mosquito bites.
As soon as he entered here, Su Shi exchanged a lot of toilet water from the system, one bottle for each person, and they can receive it again after using it up. This ensures that everyone can stay in peak condition.
Even if someone is occasionally bitten by one or two small bites, it is harmless and does not affect the overall situation.
After Su Shi had protective measures in place, he placed his army in Qianchong Mountain, which became a natural place of protection. Su Shi believed that no matter how many Liao troops came, as long as they drilled into the dense forest, their opponents would be defeated.
It's just helpless.
"Dig more fire breaks in case the enemy sets fire to the mountain." Su Shi told Lou Yang in his spare time.
Just as he was talking, Ji Zhu came over and said, "Young Marshal, our people intentionally leaked their whereabouts and have attracted the Liao army."
"Oh, are you finally here? Haha, this is a bit slow. Okay, let's proceed as planned. Tell the brothers below that this is the best time to practice archery."
"Yes." Ji Zhu also smiled and turned around after accepting the order.
Leave it somewhere else
In people's eyes, Su Shi seemed to have been forced into desperation before entering Thousand Insect Mountain.
But in Su Shi's view, he was clearly living a carefree life, and he wanted his enemies to come from far away to train with him. This kind of opportunity was really rare.
Outside Qianchong Mountain, some tall grass can be seen everywhere.
In the dense forest not far away, there are many giant trees that can only be surrounded by two or three people hugging each other.
Xiao Ying came here, dismounted, and after looking around for a while, he reached out and swatted away a mosquito that landed on the back of his hand and said: "This environment is not good. This kind of place is most suitable for Tibetans."
"Yes, although there is no dangerous terrain, there are too many mosquitoes and dense trees here. It is quite difficult to find Su Shi and kill him in such a complicated environment." Zhang Jian also clicked.
Point said.
"It's difficult, but we have to overcome it. Now that we're here, we have to do something. Besides, it's difficult for us outside, but it must be even harder for Su Shi inside." While Xiao Ying nodded, there was no intention of retreating.
Instead, he casually summoned his general Luo Leshui.
"General Luo, Su Shi is here. Lead your troops to launch a tentative attack to see if you can find them. It's best to force them out to fight us."
"General, take your orders." Luo Leshui agreed with his fists clasped, then turned around to make arrangements with a somewhat bitter look on his face.
In such an environment, there are too many mosquitoes, and staying for a moment longer is a torture. In such an environment, if you fight with others, you may lose three points of your own strength before you fight.
Reluctantly, two thousand Liao troops formed a large search team, covering their faces with only their eyes exposed.
After touching his mouth and nose, he started heading towards the mountain.
It doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you step into the mountains, you feel that your whole face is covered in mosquitoes.
The backs of the exposed hands of people who entered the mountain were immediately covered with big bites, causing them to complain endlessly.
But this is not the most terrible thing.
When they had advanced about five hundred steps, bows and arrows suddenly attacked them from the forest.
The face was blocked, so many people were hit by arrows and didn't know which direction they were shot from.
In a short period of time, more than a hundred people fell, and the others had to retreat outside the forest.
But at this time they wanted to retreat, but the people of the Su family army were chasing after them. They kept firing arrows behind them. After a short distance of 500 steps, they knocked down three or four hundred of them. Only then did the others start.
Escaped from the jungle.
Two thousand people left, but only fifteen hundred came back.
When Luo Leshui saw that there were indeed enemies in the forest, he came to Xiao Ying with a face full of joy, "General, we have tested it out, and there are indeed people from the Su family army here, and there should be quite a lot of them."
"Haha, okay, like this, order the army to enter the mountain, find them, and fight with them." Xiao Ying laughed loudly, looking like he had finally found his opponent and came here in vain.
The general ordered that no matter how difficult it was, the soldiers below could only obey the order. In this way, the first batch of 10,000 Liao troops entered Qianchong Mountain in neat formation.
They endured the physical damage caused by the mosquitoes and stepped in. However, the snapping sounds continued one after another, which were the sounds made by slapping mosquitoes.
Ten thousand people lined up one word long
The snake formation enters the mountain. Three hundred steps, five hundred steps, one thousand steps...
We walked much further than last time, and many people's faces were bitten and swollen like steamed buns, but we still didn't see a single Su Jiajun figure.
The extremely itchy feeling finally made some weak-willed people shout that they couldn't stand it anymore.
They would rather be hacked to death than be tickled to death.
"No, I can't stand it anymore. Even if I am punished by military law, I still have to get out." The first soldier who couldn't stand it appeared, shouted, turned around and ran towards the outside of the forest.
With the first one comes the second, the third...
When more and more people ran away, and eventually not even half of them were left, the other people who were left behind looked at each other and had no choice but to turn around and retreat.
And as they retreated, the sound of arrows piercing the air continued to be heard from behind.
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance.
Hundreds of corpses were thrown away again, and some Liao soldiers were injured by arrows and were helped out of the dense forest by their comrades.
When you go in, your morale is high, but when you come out, you have lost your troops.
This scene made Xiao Ying frown. He knew that this battle might not be easy to win.
"Can't you set fire to the mountain?" He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to say it casually.
"I don't know how long it will take for such a big mountain to burn. The opponents will have long legs and run away. It will be more difficult to find them then." Zhang Jian came to Xiao Ying's side at some unknown time.
"What should we do? The environment in Qianchong Mountain is too harsh. Look at our soldiers. Even if they are not killed by Su Shi, they will be bitten to death by mosquitoes."
Hearing that burning the mountain was useless, Xiao Ying was also worried that Su Shi would escape from under his nose.
After all, once the fire burned and the smoke filled the air, it would not be easy to catch Su Shi and the others.
"We have enough troops. Let's send troops to surround the entire mountain. Let's see how long they can hold on without supplies." Zhang Jian made a decision after thinking deeply.
They were all attacked by mosquitoes outside the mountains, which made them extremely uncomfortable. It would only be more difficult for them to survive in the mountains.
"That's...okay."
Xiao Ying originally wanted to say that doing this would take too long, but thinking that he had no better way, he could only nod and agree.
Deciding to encircle the mountain, more than 100,000 Liao soldiers quickly dispersed. At regular intervals, there was a Liao army camp, which blocked all exits of the entire mountain and began the siege.
The Liao army outside stopped entering the mountain, so Su Shi sent scouts from the Flying Eagle Squadron to investigate the situation. When he learned that the Liao army was going to encircle the mountain, Su Shi just laughed.
Since he was able to come here and take the initiative to stop and let the Liao army find him, he naturally expected that there would be a situation surrounding the mountain.
Speaking of which, this is what Su Shi wants.
He has a system and can exchange enough food and necessities, so he doesn't worry about being surrounded at all. On the contrary, there are more than 100,000 Liao troops outside, gathered together, and they consume a lot of things every day.
Moreover, this primitive area is not close to any city in the Liao Kingdom. If you want to transport food here, it will take two days a day. As time goes by, who may be unable to bear it first.
"Just let them surround us. We are taking advantage of this period of time in the dense forest to practice our troops. By the way, the toilet water should be distributed in time.
At this time, I told the soldiers not to be afraid of waste, but to ensure that they are not bitten by mosquitoes."
"Also, mosquito coils must be lit in each military tent to ensure that mosquitoes do not dare to enter the tent and disturb the rest of the soldiers."
"Let me tell you that the siege is only temporary. As long as there is a chance, we will let them go out to kill the enemy and cause trouble. We must be like the monkeys who got into the belly of Princess Iron Fan, making them unable to swallow or spit out."
Su Shi laughed loudly. At this moment, he didn't feel that he was being surrounded at all.
...
Su Shi went to Liao Dynasty, but his legend still exists in the northern border.
Regardless of anything else, let's just say that there are nearly 100,000 alien soldiers in Jingle City, but they just don't dare to attack Xincheng.
Liao's reinforcements could not arrive on time, and without support, they became less confident.
Unable to send troops to the Song army, all they can do now is wait and wait for the news that Su Shi has been eliminated from the Liao Kingdom.
It was already summer, and the Mongols did not send out any troops.
According to the original plan, after they solved the loss of Moge's troops, they would consider sending troops to the Song Dynasty for the second time after the beginning of spring. But after hearing that Su Shi once again led his army into Liao Dynasty and continuously attacked cities and demolished strongholds,
They were scared.
Last time, Su Shi went to Liaodi first and then to Mengdi to support the Kaqi tribe.
Now who can guarantee that they will not go from Liaodi to Mengdi this time?
If they send troops into Song Dynasty, will Su Shi come to Meng Dynasty and support another force to fight against the Kaqi tribe?
Others don't have such ability, but this Su Shi is so evil that when people think about him, they can't help but feel a sudden rush in their hearts.
Don't dare to take risks.
Therefore, the enemy is not used to influence, but to attack.
