Chapter 388: A complete victory

Ximen Qing and Wu Song left the valley with difficulty, then spread their feet and ran towards Xu Ning's camp at a speed of running wildly. Even though they were well-versed in martial arts, they were a little exhausted after running wildly for several hours. But seeing the camp in front of them, they did not dare to stop and continued to run wildly.

In the evening, the two finally rushed back to the camp.

When Xu Ning learned that Ximen Qing and Wu Song were back, he hurriedly greeted each other and asked in surprise: "Commander, Erlang, why are you two? Where are the other army?"

Ximen Qing waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, get us some water and some food as soon as possible, we're so thirsty!"

Xu Ning was busy asking for help. After the two of them ate and drank enough, they told Xu Ning about the news of their trap.

After listening to Ximen Qing’s statement, Xu Ning said: “Commander, will we set out now?”

Ximen Qing nodded and said, "Let's go now! Try to get to the canyon late at night, then set up artillery, and then take action in the early morning! At that time, the enemy was sleeping soundly and had the least alertness!"

Xu Ning nodded and then went down to prepare.

After a while, the army was assembled and quickly daring to Qingshiyu.

The army moved forward quickly and arrived not far from Qingshiyu at the Chou Shi three o'clock. Then Ximen Qing ordered the soldiers to wrap cloth around the hooves of the war horses and put a wooden ring in the mouth of the horse to prevent the war horses from neighing. Then the army quietly approached behind the Liao Kingdom.

Let Xu Ning and the soldiers of the hook and sickle camp hide in the dense forest to rest. Ximen Qing and Wu Song led more than 30 people to drive artillery and touch Gaoqiu behind the Liao army.

Standing on the high hill, I saw that the Liao army's military camp was located below. Because it was close to the entrance of the canyon, the terrain was very undulating, so the Anzha of the military camp was on the flat ground under the peak, close to it, and very crowded.

Ximen Qing ordered two artillery to aim at the front and back doors of the Liao army camp, and four artillery to aim at the mountain peak next to the Liao army camp, and the last four artillery to aim at the Central Military Office of the camp.

It can only come in the early morning, then the artillery attacks, and then the soldiers of the hook and sickle camp attack. After this, the Liao army will definitely panic. At that time, the Liangshan army in the valley will get news and rush out, which will definitely make the chaotic Liao army even more panic!

After setting up the cannon, Ximen Qing breathed a long sigh of relief. Ximen Qing said: "If we hadn't kept a hand this time, we would all hate the valley. It seems that we need to be careful in the future and never be careless! We will never have any accidents like today! The reason for being deceived this time is because of pride! We must adjust our emotions in the future and not underestimate any enemies!"

Wu Song, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "After Emperor Yi, who doesn't have a little bit of arrogance? This time it's a lesson, remember it is just!"

Ximen Qing nodded, then patted Wu Song's shoulder, and said, "Let's just lie here and rest for a while! After running for a day, he rushed here again, but he was exhausted! Get off quickly, you will still fight in the early morning!"

Wu Song nodded and said, "Okay!"

As he said that, he lay on the grass and fell asleep.

In the early morning, the genius was dawning and the weather was so cold that heavy snow seemed to come. The Liao army in the Liao army camp sat around the fire and started baking. The patrol soldiers stamped their feet and yelled.

There were large fences and deer antlers in front of the canyon entrance to prevent Liangshan from attacking in the valley. There were also many soldiers blocking the canyon entrance and being cautious.

He Chongbao inspected one by one before walking towards the Central Army's tent with his hands behind his back. He was about to have a glass of wine to warm his stomach.

But just at that moment, a thunder suddenly exploded on the nearby high hill, followed by several more sounds.

He Chongbao was shocked and quickly looked up and saw a few small black dots flying over on the high hill and landing towards the camp.

He Chongbao frowned and thought to himself what this was? Suddenly, his body trembled and he shouted in horror: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, this is artillery, be careful!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the Liao soldiers had already fallen before they could react, and the shells had already fallen and directly exploded the fence at the front door of the military camp. The two soldiers in front of the gate were also splattering flesh and blood.

Then, the entire camp became a nest of storms, and there were wailing sounds.

The first round of attack stops.

Just as He Chongbao breathed a sigh of relief, the second round of attack began again.

Ten artillery attacked one after another, and desperately spit out shells, knocking the Liao army camp to pieces. He Chongbao also hid aside and did not dare to rush into the camp, so he could only watch the camp go in chaos.

At this time, something even more terrifying happened.

The mountain next to the camp has become extremely fragile due to the attack of artillery shells, and gravel keeps falling from above. As the last shell hits on it, a loud bang sounded, and a huge rock fell down, directly smashing the three Liao soldiers below into meat sauce.

More than a hundred shells were poured down, and the entire Liao army suffered heavy casualties. He Chongbao was not in the military camp, so he escaped, while Yunshan was directly bombarded into meat paste. His younger brother He Chongyang was also blown off one arm and one leg, becoming a useless man.

The shells were exhausted, and Xu Ning and Wu Song led the hook and sickle battalion to start the attack.

Although there were not many hook and sickle camps, only 15,000 people, they were all good at playing with them. When they were playing with the hook and sickle, they specifically picked the enemy's neck, ankles, and wrists to attack. Many Liao soldiers were cut off and their hands and feet were lying on the ground and wailing.

He Chongbao's eyes were red, and he immediately commanded the army to fight back!

Although the artillery was powerful, its damage was not large. The Liao army had only more than 10,000 people seriously injured. Therefore, the Liao army could react quickly and suppress the hook and sickle gun camp. Just when He Chongbao breathed a little relieved, the canyons rushed out of Liangshan, which was already ready.

They just paid attention to the army behind them, but forgot the Liangshan army in Qingshiyu!

The soldiers of Liangshan were all full and had a mouthful of resentment in their hearts. They were trapped in the valley and waited for death by the enemy, but it made them feel uncomfortable. Now that they can come out to kill the enemy, they all screamed.

Suddenly, the Liao army was hit by a front and back attack, and the morale of the army was in chaos for a while.

However, the Liangshan army became more and more braver the more they fought and became more and more satisfied with the more they killed. In the end, the Liao army had to flee in all directions.

After He Chongbao killed a Liangshan soldier, he saw that his soldiers had fled in panic, and his face was full of bitterness. He thought that his side was sure to win, but he did not expect the ending to be so sad. The 170,000 army was killed by the enemy's 100,000 army, and then he was defeated and fled. What kind of face did he have to go back to Youzhou to meet the emperor? It would be better to die in the battlefield. However, seeing that his younger brother was seriously injured, he could hardly hold on. He gritted his teeth, hugged He Chongyang and got on a horse, and then led most of the Liao army to flee.

Ximen Qing didn't know that He Chongbao was running away. At this time, he was capturing the fleeing Liao army. When Ximen Qing realized that he wanted to find He Chongbao, he learned that he had escaped.

In the end, Ximen Qing had to give up and then ordered the army to speed up to resolve the battle.

The war did not end until noon. Ximen Qing ordered the army to set up camp, and then listened to reports on casualties after the formation in the central army camp.

This battle was extremely beautiful. With nearly 20,000 casualties, 40,000 Liao troops were killed and 50,000 were captured by surrenders. As for the other Liao troops, they fled in panic.

After listening to the report, Ximen Qing said: "Scholars will place the sacrificed soldiers on the list. When they return to Liangshan, they will give each sacrificed family a lot of money as a supplement. They cannot let their families be oppressed by life. These soldiers contribute their lives to Liangshan. We cannot let their families feel heartbroken, we cannot let them die with their eyes open and worry about their family life!"

Wu Yong nodded and said, "I ordered someone to do it, so please don't worry, the commander!" Ximen Qing nodded and said, "It's so great! This Qingshiyu Battle is a great victory, but it's also a lesson for us! You can't underestimate the slightest because of the weak enemy's strength! If we hadn't had artillery in our hands and the enemy was panicked this time, it would be difficult for us to achieve such a great victory! Even if we can win at that time, there are still many 100,000 troops left!"

"The commander is right!" Many people nodded in one after another, feeling deeply.

At this time, Wu Song asked, "Commander, what are we going to do next? Should we go back to Jizhou or to send troops to Youzhou?"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were directed at Ximen Qing, with a look of sincerity.

Ximen Qing narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, "Of course we should continue to work hard and attack Youzhou! But now there are not enough troops, so we still need to add them! Qin Ming!"

"Here!" Qin Ming shouted.

Ximen Qing said: "I order you to bring the bodies of the sacrificed brothers and the injured brothers back to Jizhou, bury them well, arrange them, and then join the army!"

Qin Ming clasped his fists and said, "Yes, commander!"

Ximen Qing said again: "Dai Zong!"

Dai Zong hurriedly stood up.

Ximen Qing said: "I will order you to go to Bazhou quickly, and order Zhu Tong to take 50,000 troops to Youzhou and join our army!"

Dai Zong got the order and hurriedly stepped down.

Ximen Qing looked around the leader for a week and said, "Zhang Qing, Li Kui and other leaders have all returned to Liangshan. Their soldiers have temporarily had deputy generals as the leader. This time the soldiers were sent to Youzhou, and they must be taken down. If you can't take Youzhou, we won't go back to Jizhou. Brothers, do you have confidence?"

"Swear to take Youzhou to the death!" Everyone shouted in unison, with determination on their faces.

Two days later, Ximen Qing led the Liangshan army to a hundred miles away from Youzhou and met with the assault camp, Yuying, Xiongying and Zhiying led by Zhu Tong.

At this point, Ximen Qing attacked Youzhou and dispatched the Leopard Camp, Eagle Camp, Assault Camp, Qinglong Dao Camp, Fire Camp, Hook and Scythe Camp, Elephant Camp, Bear Camp, Wolf Camp, and Thorn Camp, attacking 150,000 troops.

The troops and horses such as Modaoying, Mastiff Camp, and Dunying Camp are stationed in Tanzhou, Jizhou and Bazhou.

The Liangshan army was crushed, which made the people in Youzhou City panic. How can less than 60,000 troops resist the magnificent army of Liangshan?

The Langzhu had already returned to Yanjing to take charge, leaving only Wuyan and He Chongbao to guard him. At this time, the two were in the military camp, with a look of frowning.
