Yuanshan accompanied An Ziluo and Crui and chatted and rushed all the way. At noon, the group arrived at Yangguan.

The 100,000 troops they led were lined up in front of Yangguan, looking very spectacular.

Yuanshan, An Ziluo and Crui rode their horses to the front, looking at Yangguanguan City, each with their own thoughts.

There are many flags on the Yangguan Pass city.

Di Qing and Chen Yaozi stood side by side, and also looked out of the city thinking.

On the left and right sides of them were covered with soldiers, holding muskets in their hands and waiting for battle.

Outside Yangguan.

Yuanshan put away his hippie smile, rode his horse to An Ziluo, and said with a serious expression: "The State of Song has added troops to Yangguan, but Yangguan is not easy to fight."

While inferring the forces in Yangguan through the flags and the figures exposed at the mercenary, An Ziluo said to Yuanshan: "It's a bit difficult to fight... The only general Di Qing in Yangguan was the only general Di Qing in Yangguan. Now, not only Di Qing, but also general Chen Yaozi in Yongzhou.

Chen Yaozhi was led by an imperial guard.

With the imperial guards in Di Qing's hands, the number of imperial guards in Song State in Yangguan should be between 80,000 and 90,000.

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were powerful, and the number of 80,000 to 90,000 can block tens of thousands of string control men in Qingtang.

In addition, they are guarding the pass, so we need to pay more troops to break through Yangguan."

Yuanshan said in a deep voice: "But we have no troops to deploy."

An Ziluo hesitated and said, "Don't we have the Liao soldiers to help?"

Yuanshan snorted coldly, "Can you trust Liao soldiers?"

An Ziluo had no words.

If he could trust the Liao soldiers, he would not hesitate when he mentioned the Liao soldiers just now.

Crui, who had no sense of existence, had already rode his horse to the two of them at some point. After hearing the conversation between them, he hesitated for a long time and said slowly: "We cannot pin our hopes on the Liao people, we have to rely on ourselves."

Yuanshan laughed, "Then you say, how can we break through Yang Pass by relying on our own words?"

Cruise smiled dryly and did not speak again.

Seeing that Cruise was cowardly, Yuanshan looked at An Ziluo again.

An Ziluo was silent for a long time and said in a deep voice: "Cruise is right, we have to rely on ourselves."

Yuanshan asked, "Then tell me, how should I fight Yangguan?"

An Ziluo thought, "If we fight head-on, it will be difficult for us to get off the Yangguan for a while. If we want to win the Yangguan as soon as possible, we can only win by surprise."

"What kind of surprise winning method?"

Yuanshan asked.

An Ziluo said in a deep voice: "Seeing a way to lure them out. Without Guancheng protection, they are no match for us. The Yuanshan Iron Cavalry rushed to defeat them, and we can attack the city with the flow."

Yuanshan narrowed his eyes slightly, "If they dare to come out, my Yuanshan Iron Cavalry will naturally defeat them. I am afraid that they will hide in Yangguan like turtles and refuse to come out."

An Ziluo glanced at Yuanshan and said, "We can slowly think about the way to lead them out of the city. What we need to do now is to send an arrow to Xiao Pidian, let Xiao Pidian lead his troops and horses to form a double-sided attack with us, and give some pressure to the Song army."

Yuanshan heard this and urged: "What are you waiting for? Just fire the arrow quickly."

An Ziluo nodded and ordered.

More than a dozen sharpshooters left the line, drew out the arrows from their waists, and shot them into the sky in unison.

There is a whistle at the tail of the arrow.

After more than a dozen arrows took off, the crisp and bright whistle sounded throughout the Yangguan.

In the west of Yangguan, Xiao Pidian, who had just led his troops to approach Yangguan, heard the whistle and immediately ordered the Liao soldiers to give up the marching method of hiding and instead rode their horses and ran wildly.

After receiving Xiao Pidian's order, tens of thousands of Liao soldiers rushed towards Yangguan with their whips.

For a moment.

On both sides of Yangguan, there are many battle flags.

Di Qing and Chen Yaozi stood on Yangguan City and saw everything.

When the Liao soldiers approached Yang Pass, Di Qing snorted coldly and ordered: "Snap a few cannons to help them get fun!"

With Di Qing's order, the cannons placed on the city walls on both east and west sides of Yangguan opened fire.

"Bang bang bang..."

Hundreds of cannons fired volleys.

The roar and explosion sounded loudly inside and outside Yangguan.

The war horses outside Yangguan Pass heard the roar and explosion, and neighed. Some war horses were restlessly digging the ground with their hooves, and some war horses were frightened and wanted to escape from this place. The cavalry on the horses held the reins tightly to restrain them. They could only keep raising their front hooves on the spot and jumping constantly.

For a moment, the formation became a little messy.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Song Imperial Army in Yangguan burst into cheers of excitement and joy.

"What a warning!"

Yangguandong.

Yuanshan said in admiration while restraining the horse under his crotch.

When the Qingtang soldiers and Liao soldiers formed a joint attack, Di Qing fired artillery demonstrations, disrupting the formation and formation of the two armies and causing the morale of the two armies to slacken.

However, the soldiers of the Song Imperial Army in Yangguan used the power of artillery to inspire more intense morale.

Morale is a very delicate thing.

The morale-minded soldiers and the morale-failed soldiers are completely different from each other.

The strength of morale can sometimes become the key to determining the outcome of the battlefield.

So Di Qing mobilized his morale after just a few shots, so Yuanshan naturally wanted to say a word to praise him.

An Ziluo frowned, listened to the shouts in Yangguan, and slowly spoke: "The enemy is as powerful as a rainbow, but the momentum of our army is somewhat frustrated. It is not appropriate to fight today.

Set up camp on the spot, rest for a day, and attack Yangguan again tomorrow."

Yuanshan nodded in agreement with An Ziluo's thoughts.

As for Cruise, after he got here, he was like an outsider.

No one cared about his opinion, and he didn't want to express any more.

An Ziluo immediately ordered a camp to build a camp and make rice.

The soldiers and horses under Cruise passed by.

On the contrary, the troops of the Yuanshan tribe began to set up camps after Yuanshan ordered, burying pots to make rice.

Yangguanxi.

After Xiao Pidian led his troops to Yangguan, he restrained his formation scattered under the intimidation of artillery. When he heard that An Ziluo did not lead his troops to attack Yangguan on the other side, he knew that An Ziluo had temporarily avoided the sharpness of the Song soldiers in Yangguan and chose to set up camp.

Xiao Piddi immediately ordered his troops to camp and build a camp and make rice.

The Qingtang soldiers and Liao soldiers on the east and west sides of Yangguan were camping and there was no other movement.

Di Qing and Chen Yaozi on the top of Yangguan City were a little uneasy.

The two stared at Yangguandong, and the tents built by the Yuanshan troops, stunned and could not say a word.

The square tents and neatly arranged arrangements were so familiar to them.

The two stared blankly at the tent built by the Yuanshan army for a long time.

Chen Yaozi couldn't help but ask Di Qing, "I... If I read it correctly, it should be the standard tent for our imperial guards..."

Chen Yaozi's tone was filled with uncertainty and doubts.

Di Qing said solemnly: "It's not just that the tents are the standard for our imperial guards, but even the way of camping and the order of arrangement are also the same as our imperial guards."

Chen Yaozi swallowed, lowered his voice, and said to Di Qing: "So... Kuo Shi said that they are his own people, maybe it is true?"

Di Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "I never doubt my brother's words. But, how did they get our imperial guard's tent and how did they get our imperial guard's camping method?

Moreover, if they take it out so blatantly, aren’t they afraid of others’ suspicion?”

Chen Yaozi said with a strange expression: "If someone from Qingtang and Liao Kingdom have been to Jiaozhi, he shouldn't have doubts."

Di Qing looked at Chen Yaozi in shock, not understanding what Chen Yaozi said.

Seeing this, Chen Yaozhi smiled bitterly and explained: "Jiaozhi's soldiers also use this set of tents, camping methods, marching methods, combat methods, and even military equipment, which are no different from us."

The astonishment on Di Qing's face became even stronger.

Chen Yaozi smiled wryly and said, "It was all sold to them by Kuo Shimi, and the price is quite high. Often, the price of selling a tent is enough for us to build three.

When I was in Yongzhou, I took my troops and horses to escort the military."

Di Qing didn't know what to say in an instant.

It is no secret that Kou Ji reselled the arms of the Song Dynasty in the Song Dynasty.

Kou Ji sold out the unused arms of the Song Dynasty at a high price to make huge sums of money for the Song Dynasty.
