Zhang Di's southern Hebei army had also discovered Xiao Tang's horse army at this time, because Tongba (near the Changzhi of present-day Shanxi Province) was surrounded by Taihang Mountain and Taiyue Mountain, and there were many mountains and forests around, which was very easy to trap, and the official army's horse exploration and outpost were also quite unwieldy in the shade. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Many strongmen in the southern Hebei army are strongmen who cut paths in the mountains and forests of the eastern border of Hedong all the year round, although they have not reached the level of climbing mountains and mountains as if walking on flat ground, they usually hide in the mountains and forests to explore and observe the merchants who come and go, and it is estimated that people are good at waiting for opportunities to loot. Seeing that the official army was stationed in the camp around the mountain, it seemed that they did not dare to advance because of the large number of troops in southern Hebei, and this horse army seemed to be only two or three hundred people.

Among the thieves, the spies understood and decisively returned to the camp to report to Zhang Di.

Zhang Di was overjoyed when he received the news, and now the strongmen of all departments have collected enough food and grass, just waiting to sneak into the mountains to fight a war of attrition with the Song army. The two roads north of He1 are mostly plains, and they are controlled by the Daimyo's Mansion as the center, and the military important place of the Liao State bears the brunt, Zhang Di's every move in Zhaozhou is easy to attract the vigilance of the imperial court, so this time since the official army came to conquer and suppress, he simply transferred his forces to the rugged terrain and mountainous areas, and there is also the Hedong Road of the Yellow River between Shanxi and Shanxi.

And when he was in Zhaozhou, he suffered several defeats in a row, and the official army chased all the way around, Zhang Di had long wanted to spoil the prestige of the official army. The cottage strongman who said that he had been wiped out by the Song army several times, which had made Zhang Di feel extremely resentful, and this time, this hatred could be washed away with the blood of the vanguard of the Song army.

A large net was quietly opened, and in the dead of night, Zhang Di led Li Tianxi, who was familiar with the terrain around Tongjiao, to be strong all the way, and Bian Xiang, Wang Ji, Zhong Liang and others led a total of 5,000 men and horses to outflank them from the four roads, and quietly went around to the camp of Xiao Tang.

Zhang Di sat firmly in the military tent, staring coldly at the Song army camp under the hill, he waved his hand and shouted: "Ignite the fire!" Kill! ”

Suddenly, countless torches sprang up from the dark and dreary mountain forests everywhere, converging into one place and quickly rushing towards Xiao Tang's garrison camp under the hillside, and several bands of thieves were like torrents pouring down from the hills, threatening to swallow up all the officers and soldiers in the camp!

Xiao Tang heard the movement, and quickly rushed out of the camp with his knife, and saw Sun An, Hua Rong, Suo Chao and others also rushing out, although it was time to rest a long time ago, but everyone was wearing armor and holding swords, obviously ready.

"Zhang Di is really here!" Xiao Tang sneered, in the past few days, the soldiers under his command have all slept in armor, and ordered a battalion to take turns to post sentry, once the thieves attack at night, they can respond at the first time.

"Pass the order, get on the horse and break through!" Everything was ready to stop in front of him, Xiao Tang resolutely ordered, and personally led a group of cavalry generals and more than 200 horse troops to rush out of the camp like a thunderous wind.

Suo Chao took the lead, and saw that his hair was flying, his eyes were arguing, and he burst out from between his teeth and shouted like thunder: "Kill!" With that, he brandished his axe and rushed into the crowd of thieves.

Suo Chao swung his big axe, chopping over more than a dozen thieves who came to attack the camp, and suddenly he only felt a strong wind coming, and one person was killed from the thief army, which also made a big axe smash heavily at Suo Chao.

Suo Chao swung an axe to block, and the man had a few hard strokes, and when he turned around and looked at it, he couldn't help shouting: "It turns out that it's you again!" ”

The brave enemy who suddenly came out was Bian Xiang, so he heard Bian Xiang snort coldly and said: "Your skills are not bad, just fight with me again!" After that, he picked up the big axe and rushed up, Suo Chao's golden dipping axe was clumsy left and right under Bian Xiang's familiar and light mountain opening axe, and he was in danger, obviously losing a lot.

But behind Suo Chao, Xiao Tang and Hua Rong immediately killed, the corners of Bian Xiang's mouth curled, and it was a general scene when he fought with Xiao Tang for the first time, although he was friends and enemies with Xiao Renxia of the famous mansion, but he had a good fight, but it was also hearty!

Bian Xiang's brother Scarface Tiger Fu Xiang, the angry King Kong Guanyan, the green bamboo snake Kou Chen, the three of which allowed Xiao Tang and others to bully more and less, but when they waved their blades and were about to slap their horses and rush up, one of the official cavalry killed one person, wielding a double sword, and he actually entangled the other three of them with their own strength!

It turned out that the person who came out was Sun An, and the dragon slayer who was extremely good at the double sword technique was much more calm than Bian Xiang, who was struggling to resist the joint attack of Xiao Tang, Hua Rong, and Suo Chao. At this moment, two more horsemen went to support Sun An and Xiao Tang respectively, which made Bian Xiang and his three brothers suddenly difficult to resist, and they were about to be defeated.

rushed out of the two again, one was the Phantom Demon Lord Qiao Daoqing, and the other was the Blood Knife Zi Zhu Jing. Here Qiao Daoqing helped his confidant and friend Sun An, and with a sword, he almost beheaded Guan Yan under the horse, and the iron iron blade in Zhu Jing's hand over there was a strong momentum, and Bian Xiang was shocked into a cold sweat, Bian Xiang was surprised and secretly said: Not long after the last World War, where did this Xiao Tang recruit so many masters? !

"That's it! If we continue to fight, my three brothers and I will be buried here. Bian Xiang sighed secretly, shook his axe, and left.

Xiao Tang took advantage of the situation to wield the golden tiger head dragon tooth spear, and led two hundred fierce generals to break into the thief formation like a galloping wind. took advantage of Bian Xiang's knife to split the horse and kick it, making the thieves mess up. Originally, the thieves of the southern Hebei army planned to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the officers and troops to encircle them with several times the strength of the army, but unexpectedly, Xiao Tang led the officers and troops to be prepared, but they were taken by surprise. Although there are many thieves and soldiers, they are also scattered at this time, and their combat power has been greatly reduced. Although they are several times outnumbered by the enemy, they are still like sheep being swept out of the herd by a tiger.

Not far away, there was a thief army led by Zhong Liang in the southern Hebei army, Rao is official army elite cavalry can not be used, but this time Zhang Di is ruthless, surrounded on all sides to eat Xiao Tang's soldiers and horses, in addition, Li Tianxi, the leader of the thieves in the green forest of the grass in this Tongluo Mountain, knew that the nearby mountains and forests were surrounded, and the official cavalry rushed for a while, but after all, this place is not a plain of a horse and a flat river, relying on the geographical advantage and taking human lives to fill, forcing this horse army to lose its impact once it slows down, sooner or later it will be surrounded by the thieves of the southern Hebei army from all directions!

Seeing that Li Tianxi led thousands of thieves from the left flank and Wang Ji from the right flank, Xiao Tang led the horse army to make a detour and rushed straight to a mountain range.

And Zhang Di, who was watching from afar, was overjoyed when he saw it: driving his horse up the mountain and being surrounded by my army on all sides, how can you escape except for giving birth to wings? Custody will make you have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to the earth, and you will be exterminated by me on this lonely mountain!

Xiao Tang took the lead in grabbing the mountain, he looked down, and he could see a large group of thieves under the mountain range, but the torch in his hand merged into a sea of fire, at this time, the firelight reflected a murderous, hideous and distorted face, each thief's eyes flashed with madness and bloodthirst, and he wanted to devour Xiao Tang alive!

"As expected, it's time to see when it will arrive." Seeing this, Xiao Tang said excitedly, he ordered his soldiers to push down the rolling wood and stones that had been prepared a few days ago and were hidden on this mountain range. Every rolling stone made a palpitating sound, and dozens of thieves were smashed into pulp.

Hua Rong and a group of horsemen dismounted to occupy the commanding heights, and shot at the leader of the thief army with a bow and arrow, although the thieves also shot arrows to shoot back, but the sharp arrows flew out of a distance and fell momentum, far less than the official army relying on the geographical advantage, from the high mountain range of bows and arrows to kill great.

Shi Jing, the second leader under the command of Mishan Wang Ji of Gaizhou, rushed a little harder, and Jiaohua Rong looked at it really, and an arrow shot through his throat. When Wang Ji saw this, he roared, and hurriedly ordered his minions to brave bows and arrows to fall stones, and a bunch of people swarmed over to kill the mountain.

And the mountain road is a sheep intestine path, the narrow place only allows two or three people to pass, Sun An and Zhu Jing two blocked at the crossing, only one is already a husband, ten thousand people do not open, now there are two capable generals on the road, but also make the thieves on one fold one, two dead a pair!

After fighting for a long time, seeing that although the officers and soldiers under Xiao Tang were trapped on the mountain, this bone was so difficult to gnaw, Zhang Di was so angry that he was angry, but he faintly sensed that something was wrong: this group of officers and soldiers were mostly cavalry, but they crashed headlong into the mountain ridge and died on the ground, so they could resist for a few more days, as long as our army held the main road down the mountain and trapped them, they could starve to death if they were hungry. Those guys seem to have been prepared for a long time, could it be that this is deliberately tempting me to die here?

Although he was suspicious, he saw that this army was only more than 200 people, and he couldn't just withdraw like this, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to eat this army, so how could he fight against the army of conquest and suppression to the end? Thinking of this, Zhang Di was silent with a gloomy face, and let all the strongmen under his command try their best to attack the mountain.

Seeing that the rolling logs and stones on the mountain ridge had been smashed, Hua Rong and his men had little arrow left, and Sun An and Zhu Jing, who were choking the main road up the mountain, were also out of breath at this time, consuming a lot of physical strength. Suddenly, a more fierce shout broke out, and in an instant, people were boiling in all directions, and the officers and soldiers of the brigade outflanked the thieves of the southern Hebei army under Zhang Di!

Zhang Di was shocked to find that the officers and troops surrounded on all sides were waving the banners of "Zhongshan Anping Festival makes the lone tiger open", "Daimyo's Mansion Soldiers and Horses are the Supervisors of the Great Sword Wenda", "The Dezhou Command Division Shenhuo General Wei Dingguo, and the Holy Water General Shan Tingjue", and then he was shocked to realize that Xiao Tang's army was just a bait, and the conquest army had already quietly rushed to the vicinity of Tongyu County!!

Xiao Tang looked at the war situation below the mountain range from afar, the corners of his mouth curled, and he said in his heart that this plan had indeed come true. A few days ago, the fast horse reported that the army had been transferred to the town of Yuting in Longde Province, and that it would be possible to reach the territory of the Wasion Army within a few days. And the army died down, quietly marched forward, and was stationed a few miles away from Xiao Tang.

Seeing that Xiao Tang's soldiers were outnumbered, the thieves of the southern Hebei army would come to besiege them nine times out of ten. At that time, as long as the enemy army is consumed for a few hours, and the army of conquest and suppression comes to outflank it quickly, it will be able to kill the thief army by surprise.

"This Zhang Di is a man who doesn't know anything about the military." Xiao Tang smiled coldly, and said leisurely: "Don't you hear that the bait soldiers don't eat, and don't stop the teachers?" (To be continued.) )
