Chapter 386: Being trapped

The Langzhu sent troops and ordered He Chongbao to lead 100,000 elite troops and march towards Jizhou in a fierce manner. Yunshan also led 100,000 troops out of Youzhou and came to the near Qingshiyu to station, waiting for He Chongbao to lead the enemy to take the bait.

During these days, Ximen Qing did not make any big moves, but instead guarded Jizhou and allocated matters to the three states, making the defense of the three states more perfect. When facing a war, they can support each other and form an integrated strategic system.

The situation of He Chongbao's army attacking soon reached Ximen Qing's ears. After hearing this, Ximen Qing immediately smiled.

I don’t go to find you, but you are in trouble!

Afterwards, Ximen Qing convened the generals to discuss and formulate a strategy to fight the enemy.

In the conference hall, after listening to Yue Fei's situation report, everyone began to discuss how to face the enemy.

As the commander, Ximen Qing was the first to speak: "This time, the Liao army launched a large-scale attack of 100,000 troops. It must be because we knew how powerful our artillery attacked the city, so we dared not defend Youzhou and planned to take the initiative! But these 100,000 troops came a bit strange!"

"Why is it weird?" Wu Song asked with a frown, and the other generals were the same, looking at Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing said: "Look, the people of Liao knew that we had 100,000 troops and strong troops, so why did he send only 100,000 troops? If there were fewer people, there must be conspiracy, and there were not many more and many more conspiracies. Of course, this is just my suspicion. Maybe there were not many people in Youzhou City, so he could only send 100,000 troops! But the intention to prevent trouble is necessary. Military advisor, what do you think?"

Wu Yong nodded and said, "There are indeed few people and horses. It may be because there are no soldiers in Youzhou, or it may be because there are some conspiracy. But we have to wait until the enemy comes and we fight him to see it. However, in this war, we must win and win so that we can win in one go! As long as Youzhou is taken down, the Liao Kingdom will be in danger. At that time, we will not be afraid of occupying the four states!"

Ximen Qing said: "The scholar is right. Since we cannot see through the enemy's state now, we will take the initiative to attack and meet He Chongbao. The generals obey orders, rectify their troops, and set off tomorrow five!"

"Yes!" the generals shouted in unison.

On the second day, Ximen Qing was in charge of the central army, then led 100,000 troops, and headed towards He Chongbao. After two days of travel, the army met in an open plain area called Aries Plain.

Then, the army of both sides set up camp. In the early morning of the next day, both sides sent troops and slowly approached. Ximen Qing stood in front of the formation and looked at the hillside, and saw a flag of Biaozhao coming from behind. Then he saw the Liao army running over. The Liao army divided into four groups and set up a formation when they arrived in front of the hillside.

Ximen Qing, Wu Yong and the generals looked at each other and saw that the Liao army was like a black cloud and leaping out of millions of people and horses, surrounded by a Liao general. He was sitting on the horse with a burly appearance, with a three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand, and immediately in front of the formation.

This person is He Chongbao.

I saw him wearing a bright frost iron helmet, sun chain armor, green cloud boots, and a tortoise's back strap. He was set against a beautiful crimson robe, holding an iron rod mace. He held a three-pointed two-edged eight-ring knife in his hand, and sat down with four hooves and two-winged thousand-mile horse.

He Chongbao jumped on his horse and sword, and came out of the formation and shouted at Ximen Qing in front of the formation: "Ximen little brother, my husband respects you heroes, respects the wise and polites, begs you to be the marshal of the Liao Kingdom. I never thought that you were really a troublemaker in the mountains and wild people, and you were brave and thieves who actually deceived my master and seized my Bazhou! Now I have occupied my two states, Tan and Ji, which is really abominable! Today, I am ordered by the husband, and sent 100,000 troops to capture you! If you don't want to die, get off the horse and beg for mercy immediately, and I can spare your life!"

Ximen Qing snorted coldly, then slapped forward and shouted: "When the two armies fight, they have always been able to win by making tricks. Haven't you ever heard of soldiers never getting tired of cheating? I'm just learning and learning, so I won't care about you. If you want to fight, then my army will accompany you! Which general will help me capture and kill this guy!"

Guan Sheng came out and shouted: "Commander, the last general is willing to take action to capture and kill this guy!"

As Ximen Qing nodded, Guan Sheng rushed forward. He Chongbao also rushed forward with his sword. Soon the two of them fought together.

I saw that both of them were powerful generals in the world. When you come and go, I will fight happily. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword cuts up the sand and dust. The three-pointed two-edged sword raises the fierce horses and neighs. One is like a green dragon flying, the other is like a white tiger jumping, and the tiger roars and dragon roars, which is so wonderful.

The two armies shook flags and shouted, making the two Yuan generals even more violent.

In the end, He Chongbao was exhausted and almost killed by Guan Sheng. He hurriedly pulled the horse back and ran back to the camp.

At this time, Ximen Qing screamed in shock and then the army rushed to attack.

The two sides fought together, fighting in a dark and dark place, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed into a river. Finally, the Liao army retreated and rushed towards Youzhou.

Ximen Qing led a large army to chase.

In this way, the two sides fought and stopped. The Liangshan army chased after him for a whole day and a night, and He Chongbao's army was wiped out 50,000. The Liangshan army also died more than 20,000.

After several days of chasing and fighting, both sides were exhausted and set up camps to prepare for another battle tomorrow.

In the Central Army camp, Ximen Qing and Wu Yong and other leaders were talking.

He heard Guan Sheng laughing and said, "The Liao Kingdom ran faster than rabbits during these few pursuits. Haha, at this speed, if they didn't run to Youzhou, we would be killed by all! Then we will be sent to Youzhou and take Youzhou down!"

Lin Chong was also extremely excited and said, "Youzhou is right. If you take down Youzhou, you can send troops to Yanjing. I will see how the Liao army will deal with it at that time!"

Everyone nodded, and they all rubbed their hands to express their excitement.

At this time, Wu Yong said: "It's right that the enemy is not as good as our Liangshan army, it's right that we were chased, but I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't explain it clearly!"

Ximen Qing nodded and said, "I feel that way too. I always feel something is wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, I feel that everything is normal."

Seeing Ximen Qing and Wu Yongshen talking, Guan Shengdao, "Commander, military advisor, don't feel something is wrong! I feel that everything is right. We just need to wipe out He Chongbao tomorrow!"

At this time, Yue Fei hurried into the camp and said, "Commander, Bazhou wrote a letter saying that He Chongbao's younger brother He Chongyang sent 80,000 troops to attack Bazhou, hoping to seize Bazhou without hiding it, but was defeated by leaders such as Zhu Tong and Lei Heng. It is said that he is retreating towards Youzhou now. Judging from his appearance, he should be reunited with He Chongbao!"

"This is actually happening! The Liao army is really cunning!" Ximen Qing said with a smile.

At this time, Wu Song said, "Commander, don't you think it's weird? It seems that the weirdness is blamed on this! He Chongbao came to attack Jizhou to attract our attention, entangled Jizhou's troops, and gave He Chongyang a creative opportunity to take over Bazhou. But he did not expect that we still left 100,000 people in Bazhou. Haha, now they can't steal chickens and lose a lot of rice. It's really retribution! Commander, since He Chongbao and He Chongyang have joined forces, we will take advantage of the victory to pursue them and must wipe them out! We cannot let them escape back to Youzhou!"

"That's right, commander!" everyone shouted.

Ximen Qing looked at Wu Yong and said, "What does the military advisor think!"

After all, Wu Yong was not a perfect man. He was also confused by the attack on Bazhou by He Chongyang, so he nodded and said, "We cannot let the two brothers He Chongbao escape! But for the sake of safety, I think we should leave Xu Ning's hook and sickle camp as the back! All the other people will attack tomorrow, and we must wipe out He Chongbao and He Chongyang!"

Ximen Qing nodded and said, "Okay, that's it!"

The next day, Ximen Qing left Xu Ning's hook and sickle battalion and led the army to attack.

The two armies of He Chongbao and He Chongyang merged, and the number of troops increased a lot, which facilitated the Liangshan soldiers to fight.

In the end, the Liao army was defeated and fled in panic under the leadership of He Chongbao and He Chongyang. Ximen Qing led his men to pursue him quickly.

In this way, I chased and ran, chasing for more than 30 miles.

At this time, something strange happened.

After turning a hillside, the Liao army that fled in front disappeared completely. There was only one road behind the hillside, and there was a mountainous countryside around and it was impossible to move forward at all.

So it is certain that He Chongbao and He Chongyang led the Liao army to the road behind the hillside, but there was no trace of the Liao army passing by on the road.

Ximen Qing and others looked at each other and shouted strangely. Then the Liangshan army chased after him. After walking for more than ten miles, they stopped at the entrance of a canyon.

I saw that the canyon in front was several miles long, winding and unknown where it led. The canyon was covered with cliffs and the terrain was extremely dangerous. If it was ambushed, it would be dangerous.

Ximen Qing asked the army to stop advancing.

"The strange disappearance of the Liao army must be hidden somewhere! This canyon is the only road. Could it be that the Liao army has passed the canyon? Look at the terrain of this canyon, there are steep cliffs on both sides, which are steeper than the terrain of Yijin Pass. If the enemy is ambushed here, it will be troublesome!" Ximen Qing asked.

Wu Yong nodded and said, "Yes, it's too dangerous. If there are really ambushers on both sides, we may suffer heavy losses! You can't chase them!"

When Guan Sheng heard this, he became anxious and said, "Why don't you chase me? The Liao army fled in panic. There is no point in setting an ambush. They can walk over, so can we! Commander, order to set off to pursue me, and never let the enemy run away!"

The others also said, "Yes, commander, chase!"

Ximen Qing shouted: "I can't joke about my brothers' lives! Send the order quickly and go back!"

But at this moment, the spy behind him rushed over from the rear of the army and said, "Return to the commander, something is wrong. A large number of Liao troops appeared behind him, with a total of 100,000 troops, led by a Liao general, and are coming towards us!"

"What?" Ximen Qing was shocked.

The other leaders were also stunned as if they had swallowed eggs.

Wu Yong also frowned and said, "It seems that we were fooled and were trapped by the Liao people. What strategy did the Liao army set? Now a large number of Liao troops are coming behind us, and we are trapped at the entrance of this canyon, and we are in a dilemma! Commander, do you think we are fighting here or passing through the canyon?"

Ximen Qing said: "We can't fight! We are trapped at the entrance of the canyon. If we fight, we will be frustrated. Pass my order to pass through the canyon! He Chongbao leads 100,000, He Chongyang leads 80,000, and there is another 100,000 army behind us. Humph, I don't believe that there are still 50,000 troops in Youzhou! As long as there are no 50,000 ambush on both sides of the canyon, we can break through! Pass my order to enter the canyon!"

"Yes!" The commemorative commander quickly conveyed the order, and then Ximen Qing rode his horse and entered the canyon.
