If the Xixia army swarmed up, Shi Qian and others would still be wary.
But they are good at martial arts tactics, so how can they be afraid of these short-fighting masters?
Those Western Xia masters climbed to the hillsides on both sides of the valley and immediately started tossing and jumping. Some looked for rocks to hide, and some rolled endlessly to prevent being shot by Shi Qian and others' crossbow arrows.
"ah......"
At this moment, several screams came from among the Xixia masters.
Shi Qian and others looked at them as if they were fools, jumping onto the animal traps and ground crossbows, and then falling down the hillside screaming.
As a secret agent, why wouldn't he place warning and defense facilities where he hides?
It was a good thing that those masters rushed over directly. Who would have thought that they were smart enough to jump directly into the trap set by the "swallows".
For a time, they were attacked one after another, and they were extremely miserable.
Occasionally, a master rushes to Yanzi and is about to display his special martial arts, only to find that the opponent is even better at fighting alone than him.
Their attacks were brutal and direct, and before they could turn around, the opponent's dagger had already been stabbed into the fatal spot, causing them to hate the northwest.
There were also some people who could crush the swallows, and they were about to kill all the enemies, but soon they found that dozens of people had gathered around them, armed with crossbows, arrows, and slingshots.
He could only be beaten to death by a group of people, which was extremely disgraceful and showed no martial ethics.
From the beginning of the contact to the end of the battle, it only took a few minutes for the two sides to regain their composure in the blink of an eye.
Wu Yijishan looked at the vague battlefield on the hillside and said in shock: "What a drastic method."
He secretly glanced at Cao Bin, his scalp numbing slightly.
Yuan Hao waited for a long time, only to see a few masters returning in embarrassment, and his eyes turned black with anger.
He didn't expect these experts to be able to break the opponent's ambush, but he didn't expect that they didn't even have the ability to create chaos, and they were defeated by the opponent in three strikes, five divided by two.
"How many people are ambushing in the valley? Have you seen clearly?"
Yuan Hao asked angrily.
One of the masters looked at Yuan Hao timidly and said:
"Reporting to the Lord, there are about two thousand people ambushing us on the mountain."
In order to reduce the responsibility, he could only try to increase the number of people.
Unexpectedly, this sentence directly made Yuan Hao furious, and he slashed at it with a knife and said:
"Fart, look at the number of arrows, there are at least four to five thousand people."
"You can't even find out the other party's situation. Why should I keep you?"
The master didn't expect that Yuan Hao would do it as soon as he said it, but he was caught off guard by the knife and was split into two pieces.
Seeing Yuan Hao's bloodshot eyes scanning towards him and others like a wild beast, the remaining masters were so frightened that they peed their pants and nodded quickly:
"The king is wise, he is indeed wrong."
"We carefully counted, there are probably more than 6,000 people!"
In their eyes, Yuan Hao was already a little crazy at this time, and no one dared to make fun of his own life.
Hearing this, Yuan Hao nodded and glanced fiercely to both sides:
"What do you think?"
At this time, his face was covered in blood and flesh, and there were two big holes in his nose, making him look even more sinister.
How could the generals around him dare to express their opinions? So they all nodded in agreement.
Yuan Hao thought hard for a long time, and suddenly covered his face in pain and said:
"Send someone back to the main camp to bring in Buba Ziying, and send another group of troops to go around the back of the valley."
As he spoke, he took a breath and said, "We must not let the Song delegation escape, especially Cao Bin. I want to live!"
The generals quickly agreed and assigned tasks according to his instructions.
After speaking, he took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and wanted to take out an elixir, but after thinking for a long time, he did not open it.
After hearing the spies' report on Yuan Hao's actions, Cao Bin secretly wondered:
He thought it was a tough battle, but he didn't expect Yuan Hao to stop attacking. Just when he was thinking about the reason, Di Qing returned to the mountain and asked:
"Uncle, Yuan Hao is camping at the mouth of the valley. Should we take the opportunity to clean up the battlefield and expand the trap?"
Cao Bin waved his hand and said:
"No need, keep running around in the valley and raising dust. Don't let Yuan Hao see the details in the valley."
Di Qing was confused and was about to ask, but Zhang Dun laughed and said:
"My uncle is really clever. He has already laid out a plan to deceive the enemy. I'm afraid Yuan Hao thought our reinforcements had arrived."
"The longer we delay now, the better it will be for us. As long as General Yang arrives, we will definitely win!"
When Cao Bin was confused, Di Qing understood everything and said with sincere admiration:
“I see, uncle’s calculations are divine!”
Bu Yijie Shan also showed an expression of admiration.
Only Cao Bin was still thinking about how he planned his plan to suspect the enemy. It can't be running around and raising dust, right?
Cao Bin was speechless when he saw Hu Sanniang and the three girls looking at him with admiration and nodding in admiration.
He didn't think that Hu Sanniang's brain could understand what was going on if he couldn't figure it out.
This must be the "Emperor's New Clothes" incident, Cao Bin thought to himself.
So, he laughed happily and said: "You guys actually noticed it, you are such a teachable brat!"
In the blink of an eye, half a day passed, and the swallow came to report:
"Uncle, the Hengshan Camp is approaching with 10,000 infantrymen heading towards this valley!"
Everyone suddenly became nervous, and Cao Bin quickly asked: "Where is General Yang Zongbao now?"
At this moment, a sound of hoofbeats was heard from behind the hillside, and countless soldiers and horses rushed towards them surrounded by several large flags.
"Yang", "Jiao", "Meng", "Li"...
A rouge horse ran into the valley first, and immediately behind it was a young female general wearing a silver helmet with phoenix wings, fish scale silver armor, and carrying a gold-embedded plum blossom spear.
"Cao Bin, you finally escaped!"
Sister Yang got off her horse and said with a smile on her face.
Cao Bin looked at her strangely and said, "Why did you get to the border?"
Before she could answer, Cao Bin asked hurriedly: "How many soldiers and horses did you bring here?"
Yang Zongbao stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Uncle Zhongjing, in accordance with His Majesty's decree, I will do my best to support your return to the country. I am leading a total of 12,000 horse and infantry troops here."
Cao Bin was a little disappointed and said: "There are only more than 10,000 people?"
"Forehead......"
Hearing this, Yang Zongbao was a little depressed and didn't know what to say.
It is unprecedented to use more than ten thousand soldiers and horses at one time, let alone just to support the envoys returning home?
Even if we fight on a daily basis, we must report to the "Shaanxi Road Economic Strategy and Comfort Envoy" when mobilizing so many troops and horses, so we must be cautious.
The supply of grain and grass was even more difficult, because local officials were responsible for the grain and grass of the Song Dynasty army. It would be extremely difficult for them to cooperate closely.
Not only did the prefect of Yanzhou take the initiative to send more than ten days of rations for this troop dispatch, but even the military envoys gave themselves the greatest authority to mobilize troops when they heard that Cao Bin needed reinforcements.
After fighting for more than ten years, Yang Zongbao had never experienced such a smooth expedition, and finally realized what Mu Guiying felt when he went to Shandong.
He was even a little envious of Cao Bin. Is it so satisfying to have a treacherous father-in-law?
"Ten thousand, just ten thousand."
"General Yang, Cao has lured Yuan Hao out of the valley. He is now at the end of his powerful crossbow. We can kill him and make great achievements!"
Seeing that Yang Zongbao was silent, Cao Bin didn't care and quickly urged him.
"Kill Yuan Hao?"
Hearing this, Yang Zongbao was suddenly surprised and looked at Cao Bin in surprise.
"Is this... feasible?"
He didn't expect Cao Bin to have such an amazing plan.
