Chapter 105 Dangerous Mission
The night was too dark and there was no moonlight. I only saw some shaking black shadows. From a distance, I couldn't see clearly. Sure enough, I heard some laughter and scolding from the Liao people.
The black shadows riding horses slowly entered through the gap on the east side, and soon they basically entered Bao Qing's encirclement.
Bao Qing was extremely nervous at this time, but Cao Yun was very excited. Unexpectedly, all the Liao people had really entered the ambush circle. Now, when Bao Qing ordered, everyone was ready for the battle.
No, I have to wait until all the Liao people get off the horse and set up camp, and they are surprised to be beaten.
Sure enough, in the dark night, the figures swayed, and the Liao people jumped off their horses, laughing and scolding endlessly. This was the Liao people who started camping.
"Sir, let's shoot the arrow?" Zhang Longyi asked in a low voice a little excitedly.
"Wait a little longer, after the fight starts, you will lead someone to block the gap on the east side!" Bao Qing ordered.
But after a while, the Liao people set up their tents. Some Liao people entered the tent, and some surrounded the horses, and a group of people sat together and chatted.
The Liao people did not dare to make fire, and sent sentries in four directions at the same time. Bao Qing could clearly hear the sentry's reluctance to scold him.
At this time, I could no longer wait. If the sentry came up, I might find the ambush crossbowman.
Bao Qing turned his head, nodded to Zhang Long who was lying on the ground beside him, and said, "Send the order, shoot the arrow!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Long immediately raised his neck and used all his strength.
Suddenly, a long roar broke through the night sky.
Before the Liao people could react, they could only hear the whizzing crossbow arrows that were densely packed like locusts, shooting directly into the depression. This kind of condescending shooting was extremely efficient. The horses outside the Liao people first fell down, and the neighing sounds of horses were everywhere mixed with the screams of the Liao people, and the bloody aura suddenly spread.
The Liao people who lost their horses were like lambs to be slaughtered, losing their strong combat power. This was definitely a slaughter without resistance. Although it was a bit unfair, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who desperately shot arrows and replaced the arrow boxes were very enjoying this process.
"Zhang Long, you must block the gap!" Bao Qing shouted.
At this time, many of the ambushed soldiers no longer cared about lying down and stood up.
After about half an hour, the battle was basically over. Bao Qing passed the order and gradually narrowed the encirclement and could not let a Liao person go.
At this time, Zhang Long walked over with a bloody sword in his hand, looking a little excited, and said, "Sir, I didn't let anyone go! A little leader from the Liao people wanted to run away, but I chased him for half a mile and finally caught up with him."
"Where is Cao Yun?" Bao Qing asked.
Soon, Cao Yun came with a team of women's deputies.
"Brother Bao, are you looking for me? You basically wiped out the Liao army. Seven of our people were injured and two of them died. They were shot by the Liao people's bows and arrows." Cao Yun said with a smile.
Bao Qing was very depressed. When he started fighting, he was just watching the battle situation. An arrow shot in front of him. He was shocked, afraid that a Liao people would come to him. But when he turned around, he saw that Cao Yun behind him had long disappeared. Cao Yun was really unreliable. If it were Zhan Fang, he would definitely think about protecting himself first.
The next morning, the battlefield was completely cleaned up and the crossbow arrows were recovered. All the bodies that should be buried were buried. Now, the Liao people cannot find anything.
I didn't sleep all night and was really sleepy, but what Bao Qing didn't expect was that Li Qing actually came to pick her up in person.
"Why did Commander Li come in person?" Bao Qing asked.
"I am really worried. I didn't expect that I got so much food with such an adult, and I am really curious and want to see what happened." Li Qing replied with a smile.
"You didn't expect that there were many things. My brother Bao not only captured the thirteenth prince who was plotting against the rebellion, but just now he shot and killed more than 200 Liao soldiers with more than 100 people. How about it! Haha!" Cao Yun was a little proud.
Li Qing looked disbelief, and until Zhang Long nodded at him, he couldn't help asking: "Sir, is it really the case? Zhang Long, tell me how sir!"
After about a cup of tea, Li Qing couldn't help but clap his hands and say it.
At this time, Bao Qing was always thinking about the Dragon Birth Jade Pendant, and suddenly a thought flashed through Bao Qing's mind.
"Commander Li, come here! Let's talk!" Bao Qing pulled Li Qing aside.
"Sir, what are you asking? Just say it!" Li Qing asked directly when he saw Bao Qing's solemn expression.
"The situation is urgent. Hong Ba's two reinforcements have arrived in Bazhou. It is estimated that the Liao people will take action soon. I want you to take your personal guards to take over the two reinforcements!" Bao Qing said.
Li Qing was confused and asked in confusion: "What? How could Hong Ba's two reinforcements obey the orders of the generals? I'm afraid that the generals would be killed by random swords as soon as they go."
"I think about it, you are the only one suitable! After hearing what I said, I will give you a token of the Thirteenth Prince and a letter. You take the token and letter and go directly to the Bazhou camp to find Hong Ba, don't say anything. Just say that the prince sent you here. Of course, whether you are willing to go or not, you have to make your own decisions. I just told you these two points. First, the court has given up on Bazhou, and General Cao and your Li Qing's troops have become abandoned sons. Second, if you take over successfully, you will turn the whole situation around. All the contributions in the future will belong to you. I, Bao Qing, just want to rescue General Cao. You should know the relationship between me and the daughter of the Cao family." Bao Qing said slowly.
"This!" Li Qing hesitated a little.
"This is a dangerous task, and you will die for a lifetime! You have thought about it!"
Li Qing thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "The last general is the master!" Li Qing's consideration was very simple, that is, where is the way for him and his brothers to live. He knew very well that the only thing he could rely on was the imperial envoy Bao. Judging from the overall situation of the court, General Cao and himself were probably abandoned long ago, and the situation in Bazhou was really unbearable. If this continued, his men would be trapped on the grassland, and he would not wait for the Liao people to be wiped out, and he would starve to death.
"Okay! Before you leave, hand over the troops in your hands to Zhang Long. I want to use your troops to cut off the Yizhou grain road. In addition, if you go to Bazhou, you must take over the two reinforcements in the name of the Thirteenth Prince. Once the takeover is successful, immediately withdraw from Bazhou and lead troops to cut off the grain road leading to Liaoying from the direction of Baozhou. What I want to remind you is that the Baozhou camp is probably also from the Thirteenth Prince, because the second grain road of the Liao army is the direction of Baozhou. Also, I will send guards to assist you, and he is more familiar with that grain road."
Li Qing nodded.
Bao Qing continued, "You have to remember that once you go to the Bazhou camp, you have to quickly change your role. All your actions are assigned by the Thirteenth Prince. Just think of yourself as the Thirteenth Prince's rebel! Do you know? Later, I will take you to see the Thirteenth Prince to let you understand his appearance so that you will not let it go."
