Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"Report, a large-scale Khitan cavalry was spotted ten miles ahead!"

In the Songmo camp, the soldiers who were drinking were interrupted by an urgent report.

The deputy general sitting behind the case suddenly stood up and looked at the person: "What did you say! The Khitans rebelled?"

Before the scout could answer, a deafening earthquake suddenly sounded in the distance.

Then a miserable cry came from the direction of the camp gate...

An hour later, Li Jinzhong led his men to the Tang army commander's tent.

Looking at the copper fish charm and pond newspaper on the table, Sun Wanrong laughed.

"We used to be very cautious when we came here."

"Now it seems that the Tang army stationed in Yingzhou is nothing more than this."

Hearing this, Li Jinzhong lowered his order and said with a smile: "It's not time to celebrate yet. The main force of the Songmo Army is currently attacking the Governor's Mansion in Yingzhou."

"We have to take advantage of the fact that they don't know that Songmo Camp has been wiped out, so we can lure out their main force and give Zhao Wenhui a fatal blow."

The smile on Sun Wanrong's face faded and he muttered: "Having said that, the walls of Yingzhou City are high and thick, and our cavalry will probably have to pay a lot of casualties if they want to capture the city gate."

"Brother, you are overly worried. There is an old saying among the Han people, which is to lure the tiger away from the mountain. We can lure Zhao Wenhui to Songmo, surround him and annihilate him."

After speaking, Li Jinzhong rolled up his sleeves and wrote on the pond newspaper that the Songmo camp was besieged by the Khitans, and that he hoped to come to the rescue quickly, and then stamped it with a copper fish talisman seal.

After doing this, Li Jinzhong walked up to the surrendered Tang army general and spoke condescendingly.

"Take two people to Yingzhou and give this letter asking for help to Zhao Wenhui."

"Remember, your family is in our hands. If you want them to survive, you better be obedient, otherwise your wife and daughter will bear the wrath of nearly ten thousand Khitan warriors."

"You inhuman beasts, remember what you said!"

Staring at Li Jinzhong fiercely, the deputy general got up and led two of his subordinates out of the commander's camp and rode towards Yingzhou City on horseback.

Since the city was attacking the Governor's Mansion, the city gates were under martial law at this time. When the generals guarding the city saw someone running towards them, they shouted to stop them.

"Who is coming? Stop immediately. If you take another step forward, you will risk your life or death!"

Call!

After grabbing the reins and spinning twice, the lieutenant raised his head and cursed.

"I've blinded you, General Liu Youliang, why don't you quickly open the city gate and let me in!"

"Ah, it's General Liu, hurry up and open the city gate." Realizing that the person coming was Zhao Wenhui's confidant, the general guarding the city hurriedly ordered his subordinates to open the city gate.

Seeing the heavy city gate open, Liu Youliang rode his horse towards the governor's mansion without saying a word. As the distance got closer, the sound of fighting became louder and louder.

The streets were full of Songmo troops on standby.

"Alas, Governor Zhao was careless." The deputy general sighed secretly, and forcefully cheered up and came to the center position.

"Hey, Youliang, why are you here?" Zhao Wenhui looked surprised when he saw the deputy general stationed at Songmo Camp arriving.

Liu Youliang took a deep breath and said according to what the Khitan people told him.

"Informing Governor Zhao that Khitan leader Li Jinzhong has led a large army to surround the Songmo camp and is ready to attack."

"The general saw that the situation was not going well and ran out to ask for help from you." He said and took out a letter for help stamped with the seal of the fish talisman.

These words immediately caused an uproar, and the soldiers of the three armies were greatly shocked. No one expected that Li Jinzhong, a dog thief, would dare to surround the Songmo Camp.

Zhao Wenhui was even more angry and turned livid. Yesterday, he said that the Khitans did not dare to make a sneak attack. Today, Li Jinzhong led his men to surround the Songmo camp.

Isn't this a slap in the face in front of everyone?

"How many people did Li Jinzhong lead to surround the camp?" Zhao Wenhui said with a sullen face, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Going back to the Commander-in-Chief, there are four thousand people in total, all infantry."

"Okay, okay, these damn Khitans don't even dare to listen to this governor!" Zhao Wenhui laughed angrily.

The next moment, he suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted.

"The whole army listens to the order and fight back to the Songmo Camp and kill that thief Li Jinzhong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't listen to anyone's advice and rushed out of the city first.

Seeing this, the generals looked at Zhuge Xuanming.

"Mr. Zhuge, what should we do now? Should we attack the Governor's Mansion?"

"Forget it, Fan Xin has a small matter. If the Khitans capture the Songmo Camp, we will not be able to report to the court. We will leave a thousand people to surround the Governor's Mansion, and the rest will follow Governor Zhao to suppress the Khitans."

Zhuge Xuanming glanced at the Governor's Mansion, shook his head helplessly and left.

The Dongyi Protectorate was the government office sent by the imperial court to manage the Khitan people. Once there was a rebellion, Zhao Wenhui would not be able to escape the blame, so it was necessary to quell the Khitan people's rebellion as soon as possible before it became a problem.

Yingzhou was not too far from Songmo, and the army, marching at full speed, reached the junction area that evening.

The command post was about to stop. Zhao Wenhui raised his head and looked at the Songmo Camp. The usually bustling camp was eerily quiet. There was not even a single person in the camp, let alone a Khitan.

What made Zhao Wenhui most uneasy was the faint smell of blood in the air, as if a massacre had just occurred here not long ago.

"Liu Youliang, didn't you say that the Khitan people surrounded the camp? Where have they gone?"

"Maybe he left." Liu Youliang said with evasive eyes.

Zhao Wenhui glanced at him, suddenly put the sword on his neck and said coldly.

"You lied about how many soldiers and horses Li Jinzhong brought!"

Liu Youliang's expression changed, and he was sweating profusely as he said, "Grand Governor, everything I tell you is true. Li Jinzhong indeed only led four thousand infantry troops!"

"Four thousand infantry?" Zhao Wenhui sneered: "The governor left behind three thousand soldiers before he left. How can a mere four thousand Khitan infantry annihilate them all?"

"There are also horse hoof prints everywhere in the camp. Tell me where the infantry horses came from!"

Under Zhao Wenhui's continuous questioning, Liu Youliang panicked. Just as he was about to kneel down and beg for mercy, the sound of thousands of horses galloping suddenly came from behind the mountains in the distance.

Seeing this scene, both Zhao Wenhui and Zhuge Xuanming looked extremely pale.

There were at least tens of thousands of cavalrymen involved in the shock of this scale. They did not expect that Li Jinzhong had such a powerful force.

After coming back to his senses, Zhao Wenhui suppressed his fear and said: "Hurry up and form a formation to meet the enemy, otherwise it will be too late!"

However, no matter how he shouted, the generals were indifferent. Anyone with a little knowledge of common sense knew that for tens of thousands of cavalry, two miles on the plain would only take the blink of an eye.

It is simply impossible to form a formation to meet the enemy in such a short period of time.

Soon, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed into the Song Desert army like sharp knives, and lives were ruthlessly harvested as the horses galloped.

After an unknown amount of time, when the screams subsided, only Zhao Wenhui and a few Zhuge Xuanming were left standing on the battlefield, while the others all fell in a pool of blood.

Looking at the horrified Zhao Wenhui, Li Jinzhong licked his lips cruelly.

"Captain Zhao, I didn't expect you to be here today, right?"
