At such a time, when Su Shi's army came out of the cage, it is conceivable what will happen.

Walking quickly to the map, his eyes fell on Xinghua City, the first big city in the east.

Shaking his head, Zhang Jian said to himself, "I'm afraid Xinghua City will not be notified in time, and it is hopeless."

Then, his eyes moved again and fell on Shenshan City, the capital of Zezhou in the east of Xinghua City. Zhang Jian's voice sounded quickly, "Quickly release the pigeons, notify Shenshan City, get ready for Su Shi to appear, and tell them , you can’t close the city gates, you have to go out of the city to fight, entangle Su Shi’s troops there, and the main force of our army will arrive later.”

To the north of Shenshan City is Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, Liao Kingdom.

If the city gate here is closed, Su Shi may not see the opportunity, so he will directly go north to attack Dading Mansion.

If there is a mistake in Zhongjing, Zhang Jian will be blamed even if he dies.

"Hurry up, gather the troops, count as many as you can gather, and follow me to attack and kill Su Shi's troops." Zhang Jian was startled, his complexion changed, and even the words of the order were lost.

As Zhang Jian expected, Xinghua City, the first city to the east, has indeed been lost.

The first black cavalry to leave the camp, one man and two horses, after running continuously all night, they appeared outside the city when the gate of Xinghua City was just opened.

Because they are all wearing the military uniforms of the Liao army, with some hair on their bald heads, forming a Mediterranean head shape. From a distance, they are no different from the Liao army.

Even the Liao army guarding the city didn't care too much.

It wasn't until the black cavalry got closer and closer to the city that they suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Xinghua City, did the Liao army guarding the city feel something was wrong, but it was too late to close the city gate at this time.

As the black knight rushed into the city holding the Overlord Spear, Xinghua City was suddenly in a state of chaos.

Xinghua City fell.

When Su Shi arrived with the main force of the army, it was already night.

The gates of Xinghua City, which had already been occupied, were wide open, and torches were planted everywhere to welcome the main force into the city.

After just resting in Xinghua City for one night, and taking away all the things he could bring, at dawn, Su Shi led the main force of the army and continued eastward to the next target, Shenshan City.

Just two hours after Su Shi and the others left Xinghua City, Zhang Jian hurriedly arrived with [-] Liao troops.

One day and one night, they didn't bother to rest for a moment, but they were still late.

After entering Xinghua City, after learning from the Liao Army who had his ears cut off and his hamstrings picked that Su Shi's army had left for two hours, Zhang Jian still didn't care about rest, and continued to march towards Su Shi with the army. He came after him.

Let's talk about Jizhu's black cavalry department.

After the surprise attack on Xinghua City was successful, some of them were left to guard the city, and Ji Zhu led the eight hundred black cavalry and Feng Yidao's troops of the first brigade to continue forward.

Flying all the way, when they arrived at Songziling not far from Shenshan City, they got a battle report from the Flying Eagle Squadron who had first inquired about the news. There were actually a large number of Liao troops deploying defenses in Songziling.

And because of the terrain, it is basically impossible to capture here quickly.

A large number of Liao troops appeared in Songziling. This was an unexpected change. Ji Zhu stopped and quickly reported the situation to Su Shi through the walkie-talkie.

Su Shi was also rushing towards Songziling. On the way, he received a message from Ji Zhu.

There is actually a Liao army in Songziling, or a large number of Liao troops, which is not what should be done.

Ordinarily, as the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Army should be stationed in the outer city of Shenshan City even if it has soldiers, instead of sending troops on an isolated mountain.

They just did this, so there is only one possibility, that is, they received the news that they would come in advance, and they wanted to block themselves here.

Looking along the map, after Songziling is Shenshan City, and to the north of Shenshan City is Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, Liao Kingdom. Su Shi saw the Liao army's intentions.

This is to block himself here, so that he cannot enter Shenshan City, so that he cannot threaten Zhongjing Dading Mansion.

"Hehe, Liao people have also learned to be smart and know how to call in advance. But how did you know that I was going to Zhongjing Dading Mansion?" Putting down the map in his hand, Su Shi picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Ji Zhu, take you Come back, we are not going east."

Su Shi is in the territory of the Liao Kingdom, and it can be said that everyone is an enemy.

In such an environment, it is not wrong for Su Shi to attack any point.

That's it, why must he go to the east, why can't he go to other places?

What a Xiao Ying and Zhang Jian, they actually know that they have measured in advance, well, I will teach you this time, your method of sending messages with pigeons is too outdated, even if you calculate everything, you will find that you still Will fall into my trap.

Zhang Jian's subordinates who followed him naturally didn't know what Su Shi was thinking.

Along the way, Zhang Jian was worried.

He sent a message to the guard of Shenshan City with a carrier pigeon, but he couldn't guarantee that the other party would obey the order.

Not even sure if the pigeons delivered the message.

For the safety of Zhongjing, what he has to do now is to keep going. It is best to catch up with Su Shi. Even if he can't catch up, he must rush to Zhongjing City as soon as possible and live there as guards. Otherwise, his life will be ruined. will not be guaranteed.

There are too many nobles from the Liao Kingdom in Zhongjing City, and they are closely related to those officials and elders in Shangjing. Once they are frightened, this responsibility is definitely not something that he, a foreign minister, can bear.

Even with the addition of Xiao Ying, they still can't handle everything.

In my heart, I cursed Su Shi for being unruly, obviously I have already given up, I don't want to fight, I want peace talks, but you are still so crazy, are you really bullying me and losing my temper?

Zhang Jian, who was so reluctant, still did not forget to lead the army to advance quickly. Even if many soldiers were unable to keep up with the team because they had not had a good rest for two days, Zhang Jian didn't care at all.

Now in his heart, there is only one thing on his mind, and that is absolutely not to let Su Shi appear outside Zhongjing, absolutely not.

Zhang Jian's prayers worked.

Su Shi did not appear outside Zhongjing, but appeared in front of him.

On the way Zhang Jian led [-] exhausted Liao troops towards Shenshan City at high speed, beside a dense forest, suddenly a large number of arrows fell from the sky, followed by countless Song cavalry, they shouted He said, waved the weapon in his hand and killed Zhang Jian's troops.

Su Shi set up an ambush here?

This is about fifty miles away from Shenshan City.

Shouldn't Su Shi go to attack Shenshan City?

How could he come to attack himself?

There are still too many things I can't figure out, but at this moment, the Su family army cavalry has come out from all directions.

Everyone wears stab-proof clothing, which does not affect their flexibility, but also increases their defense capabilities.

As soon as the [-] cavalry rushed out, the unsuspecting [-] Liao army was stunned by a head-on blow.

The Liao army, already a tired army, even though it still has an advantage in numbers.

But that's all.

Compared with the Su family army who had rested for several hours, compared to the well-fed and warmly dressed Su family army, they were much inferior in terms of combat power and morale.

The [-] elite cavalry, including the most elite black cavalry, can be compared with the exhausted [-] Liao army?

With countless cavalry rushing out, the Liao army, which formed a long snake formation, was quickly cut into countless segments.

The head and the tail cannot look at each other, and even a unified command cannot be achieved.

Even many soldiers don't know which direction to attack.

In the chaotic situation, more and more Liao army died in battle. This made Zhang Jian, who was in the position of the central army, see that the situation was not good, and immediately led his people to retreat.

Zhang Jian is not a general, such a battlefield is not suitable for him.

And even generals, in such a chaotic situation, can play a very limited role.

Of the 3 Liao troops, only half of the [-] people Zhang Jian took away in the end.

But even if half of the troops were left behind, the crazy vanguard army behind him was still chasing after him during his retreat. Any Liao army that ran slowly or was alone was their target. .

He ran all the way, throwing away his helmet and armor, and couldn't even make a decent counterattack.

When Zhang Jian was calling out that the sky was not working and the land was not responding, Xiao Ying arrived with [-] Liao troops and joined them, which made the vanguard stop their pursuit and retreat.

After Xiao Ying woke up and learned that Zhang Jian led an army of [-] to pursue Su Shi's troops, she followed him.

The [-] Liao army he brought also came all the way, and they had no time to rest. At this time, it would be unrealistic to point at them to rush up and fight with the Su family army.

Xiao Ying, who could only protect herself, did not move forward to continue the attack, but ordered the army to rest well, and will fight Su Shi in a full state tomorrow.

But when he rationally decided to wait for a day, the Su family army wiped out the [-] Liao army who were surrounded by them and had already lost their fighting spirit.

More than [-] people were killed on the spot, and all the others became earless soldiers. After their hamstrings were broken, Su Shi's army suddenly went south, down the Luan River.

Su Shi did not choose to go north and approach Zhongjing.

He also did not choose to go east, capture Shenshan City, and go north again to approach Zhongjing.

Instead, he went south decisively and jumped out of the defense and encirclement of the Liao army, which once again exceeded Xiao Ying and Zhang Jian's expectations.

On the second day, the Liao army rested and came forward. They saw many lame Liao army soldiers along the way. Both of them looked silent, but their hearts were bleeding.

Fighting with Su Shi for more than half a year, not to mention not getting any benefits, but losing troops and generals.

The 20 troops originally planned to enter the Song Dynasty were now all added up, and less than half of them were able to fight. This result was something they did not expect before, and they could not bear it now.

Both of them could even imagine that before long, their emperor would order to punish them, and they would probably roll down from their current positions by then.
