Sun Qi woke up the lieutenants such as Jin Ding and Huang Yue with just one sentence: "Will the Song army give up attacking Zhaode because of this free card?"
"No." Jin Ding replied honestly.
After all, to both the Song army and the soldiers in the city, it was just a desktop with two more words on it.
"Soldiers are deceitful." Sun Qi said with a serious expression: "When things are hung out, whether it is Song Army Marshal Guan Sheng or Ximen Qing, they need to think about our army's intentions... In fact, this is
Sun’s true intention was to confuse the Song army and delay the attack."
After finishing speaking, Sun Qi added: "Don't forget, the reinforcements led by the National Preceptor and the Palace Commander are only more than a hundred miles away. Tomorrow... maybe tomorrow morning, the vanguard troops will arrive at Zhaode! Today the Song Army
We haven't attacked the city for a day, so it seems that Sun's plan has been successful!"
Only then did Jin Ding, Huang Yue and other lieutenants understand Sun Qi's intentions, and they all handed over their hands with guilty expressions on their faces. Lei Zhen on the side was full of praise: "General Sun is familiar with military books, and he is full of strategies. He is worthy of the general's demeanor!"
Just as Sun Qi expected, after consultation, the national counselor Qiao Daoqing and the palace commander Sun An each led 10,000 vanguard troops and galloped to rescue Zhaode City.
One group is led by the palace commander Sun An, accompanied by four commanders Mei Yu, Qin Ying, Jin Zhen, and Lu Qing. They enter from the north gate of Zhaode City to support the city and sweep away the attacking Song army; the other group is led by the national counselor Qiao Daoqing.
Four leaders: Nie Xin, Feng Qi, Ni Lin and Fei Zhen
The commander accompanied him to the east of Zhaode City to mop up any Song troops that might appear there. He could also attack from inside and outside to catch the Song troops off guard. The remaining tens of thousands of troops were led by Pan Xun, Yang Fang, Feng Sheng, and Hu Mai.
, led by Lu Fang and other five regiment training envoys, walked slowly.
This army is indeed an elite force that the Jin State can mobilize, and many of them are Sun An's forbidden troops; compared with the Song Dynasty's forbidden troops, their combat effectiveness is pretty good.
When setting off, the main purpose was to reinforce Huguan and drive the Song army back to Gaizhou. As for whether they could take the opportunity to enter Gaizhou, neither Sun An nor Qiao Daoqing were sure; but what they didn't expect was that halfway there
, then news came.
Huguan has fallen!
Huguan is the gateway to Zhaode Mansion, and its importance is self-evident; since Huguang has fallen, the Song army must attack Zhaode from behind, so the palace commander Sun An and the national counselor Qiao Daoqing were anxious and sent Lei Zhen first.
First step, go to Zhaode to report the news of the arrival of reinforcements.
After that, Sun An and Qiao Daoqing personally led the vanguard troops in order to ensure that Zhao De was not lost!
...
...
"Sir, there are still five miles ahead of us, which is Zhaode!"
"Is there any hostility?"
"Not found yet!"
"Explore again!"
Although the spies did not report any signs of Song army activities, Sun An still ordered the entire army to be more vigilant and maintain a good formation.
"Sir, it seems that the Song army has not attacked Zhaode yet." Mei Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and rode her horse to Sun An: "Then General Sun must be very happy to see you, sir."
Seeing Mei Yu's flabby look, Sun An frowned and scolded: "Why didn't you hear Sun's order just now? Although there is no enemy situation, this is the north of Zhaode after all! Guan Sheng and those Liangshan
Leader, do you think it is that easy to deal with? There is also Ximen Qing, who is full of tricks, even the Privy Councilor Niu Wenzhong was killed by him!"
As soon as Sun An said this, the other three commanders including Qin Ying, Jin Zhen, and Lu Qing hurriedly acted vigilantly, even holding their respective weapons in their hands.
Mei Yu originally just wanted to take this opportunity to flatter her, but she didn't expect that her flattery would be slapped firmly on the horse's leg. After being scolded by Sun An, she had no choice but to straighten her body on the horse, take off her spear and hold it on the horse's leg.
in hand.
"That's pretty much it." Sun An, the palace commander, glanced at him and said, "Please wipe the highlights of your eyes for me!"
The team had marched less than a mile when suddenly a volley of trumpets and cannons burst out, and a group of men and horses, numbering about four to five thousand people, rushed out from both sides, blocking the team's path forward.
Sun Anxin shuddered and secretly scolded the spy for his incompetence. Just as he was about to step forward to ask questions, three of the enemy's troops had already rushed out. He immediately stopped and took a closer look.
I saw one of them with a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's chin and a tiger's beard, eight feet in length, and a black snake spear of eight feet in his hand, majestic. He wore a brand-new soap-colored straight jacket with his head lowered, revealing many flowers on his chest.
The embroidered monk had a heavy water-milled Zen staff in his hand, which seemed heavy in weight. The man with his bowed head also held a spear. Sun An was filled with anger when he saw it, and he recognized it to be Tang Bin, the former leader of the village in Baodu Mountain.
"Is this the Commander-in-Chief Sun An Sun?" The one with a leopard head and eyes and eight snake spears stepped forward: "A certain family is Lin Chong, the leopard head! Please come forward and speak!"
When Sun An met Tang Bin, he didn't care about Lin Chong or not. He took out the two iron swords from their sheaths. There was a sound like a dragon roaring. He immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Sun will not agree with you."
Speak and ask that treacherous birdman to come out and learn how to use these two swords of a certain family!"
Tang Bin had long heard that Sun An was powerful, so he was a little timid when he saw him today and did not dare to step forward. Lin Chong knew his intentions and sneered across his spear: "Vice General Tang abandoned the dark and turned to the light, which is the right way. If you wake up in time, put down your hands."
Sword, the crime of rebellion can also be punished lightly!"
Sun An was furious when he heard this, and he was about to step forward with his swords in hand. Mei Yu, who was next to him, had already come out, wielding his sword and shouting: "Let me, Mei Yu, come and meet your leopard head! Let's see if it can grow back after you chop it off!"
Sun An was unable to stop him, so he ordered generals Qin Ying and Jin Zhen to raid the formation, while he raised his swords to see Lin Chong's martial arts skills.
Lu Zhishen said secretly: "This thief is looking for death!"
Lin Chong, the leopard head, stepped forward on horseback and shouted like a god descending from the earth. Mei Yu wanted to show off, but was frightened by Lin Chong's majestic shout. She reluctantly raised her sword to meet him, but Lin Chong's snake spear, which was eight feet tall, swung the sword away;
Lin Chong raised his spear and stabbed Meiyu off his horse!
When Qin Ying and Jin Zhen met, their faces turned pale, and Lu Qing almost fell off his horse. Sun An, the palace commander, secretly said, "Oh no!" I didn't expect Lin Chong to be so brave. Mei Yu was killed by Lin Chong in just one move. He hurriedly danced that
Two iron swords came to fight Lin Chong.
Lin Chong, the leopard leader, heard Ximen Qing talk about Sun An's superb martial arts, so he cheered up and fought carefully. As expected, he saw Sun An's two iron swords, each weighing about twenty or thirty kilograms, and they were flawless when he danced. Lin Chong sighed inwardly.
The hero actually threw himself at the tiger. The eight-foot-long snake spear in his hand was stabbing or whittling, quickly or slowly, showing his true ability.
In just ten breaths of time, the two had fought for more than thirty rounds. Behind them, Hua monk Lu Zhishen saw Sun An's strong physical strength and felt itchy. He raised his Zen staff and shouted: "Let Sajia come and have fun too!"
On the opposite side, the three generals Qin Ying, Jin Zhen, and Lu Qing had already ordered people to snatch Mei Yu back. They saw a huge wound on Mei Yu's chest, which had passed through her chest. When she touched it again, she was no longer breathing. At this time, she saw the flower monk Lu Zhi rushing in deeply.
When they came out, they thought they were going to fight Sun An, so they hurriedly rode out to intercept him.
Hua Monk Lu Zhishen saw that several lieutenants on the other side had cut off his path. He roared and knocked off the horse of Lu Qingyi, who was at the forefront.
With a raised sword, the ten thousand soldiers received the command from the general and surged up like a tide.
Upon seeing this, Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen rode their horses back to the formation. Tang Bin swung his spears, and together with Shi Xiu, the desperate man, led the soldiers to fight for a while, and then slowly retreated as planned.
Sun An, the commander-in-chief of the palace, saw that the opponent was advancing and retreating in a controlled manner, and ordered the soldiers to stop chasing him. He turned around and looked at Lu Qing. He saw that many ribs were broken, and he realized that the monk's attack was extremely heavy.
Jin Zhen said: "That monk is called Hua Monk Lu Zhishen? That Zen staff weighs dozens of kilograms. Brother Lu Qing is afraid that his life will not be saved."
Sun An ordered the soldiers to cut down the trees nearby and make a simple stretcher for Lu Qing to lie flat on his back. Looking at Lu Qing's expression, his face was as golden as paper, it was really difficult to save him.
Qin Ying gritted his teeth: "If I see Lu Zhishen again, I will definitely take his life!"
"Just you?" Sun An snorted in his nose and ordered the entire army to stay vigilant and continue to march towards Zhaode City: "If there is another ambush, kill them directly!"
...
...
After marching in the middle of the night, the red-haired brothers Liu Tang, Zhang Heng, and Zhang Shun had arrived at Qin Ming before dawn, and took a rest in a small forest in front of Sun Li and others.
"How is it? Are there any enemies coming?"
Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun sent several soldiers as spies, and the news they gave was that no enemy movement had been found.
Leaning out from the grove, the road was indeed completely silent. Liu Tang had always been able to listen to music by lying on the ground, and even after lying on the ground and listening for a while, he found no results.
"Does this trip have to be in vain?"
The three of them were immediately discouraged. After all, Ximen Qing and Guan Sheng's arrangement was only to attack the reinforcements led by Sun An and Qiao Daoqing in two groups. As for the direction from which the reinforcements would come, they could not predict.
"I should have gone to the north if I had known!" Zhang Shun punched the thick tree next to him, causing the tree to shake: "The enemy is coming from the north, that's where the chance is greatest!"
Zhang Heng, Chuan Huo'er, was also very sorry.
"It's too late." Liu Tang, the red-haired ghost, calmed down for a moment and said, "If we rush to the north, I'm afraid Coach Lin and Master Lu will have already fought against the enemy."
"You've been driven out of here. You've been working hard in the middle of the night. Do you want to sleep in this small forest and go back?"
Zhang Heng roared: "In my opinion, it's better to go to the north. You can't eat meat, so you can just share some soup."
"Oh, my Pu Dao is so hungry and thirsty." Liu Tang lay on the ground and listened again, his posture very funny.
"No, wouldn't rushing over here make them laugh?" Langli Baitiao Zhang Shun shook his head decisively: "I guess the camp has discovered that we sneaked out by now, so we should hurry back before Guan Sheng gets angry."
"What a joke, are you afraid of Guan Sheng?" Zhang Heng snorted.
"Brother, I'm afraid that Mr. Ximen will be embarrassed..." Zhang Shun answered seriously, and suddenly found Liu Tang raising a hand.
That means there is enemy movement.
Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun decisively shut their mouths.
"The noise is getting louder and louder, it's a large group of people."
Liu Tang continued to speak, but Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng were already pointing forward: "Don't bother, you can already see it."
The red-haired ghost Liu Tang got up from the ground and patted the soil angrily: "I discovered it earlier than you..."
Through the grove, dust was flying not far away, and a large flag could be vaguely seen fluttering high in the wind.
