Shan Shiqi, Wu Su, Shi Ding, Wu Cheng and Zhongliang led 20,000 troops to a place called Huanlingpo at night forty miles away from the Song army camp.

There are two large slopes on the left and right of this place. There are many trees and weeds on the slope. The official road passes through the middle of the two large slopes. It is a very good ambush place.

"We ambushed this place."

Shan Shiqi said to Wu Su, Shi Ding: "General Wu, General Shi, you lead five thousand men and horses to ambush on the left slope. General Wu, General Zhong, you lead five thousand men and horses to ambush on the right slope. I lead ten thousand men and horses to ambush in front.

When the Song army's grain transport team arrived, we first shot them with bows and arrows, and then quickly led our troops to surround them, and destroyed the Song army and burned the food and grass in one fell swoop."

"yes."

Wu Su and Shi Ding led 5,000 people to hide into the Zuopo forest, Wu Cheng and Zhongliang led 5,000 soldiers to hide into the Youpo forest, and Shan Shiqi led 10,000 people to lie under the two slopes in front.

About half an hour later, there were sounds of horse hooves and people coming from the front. Shan Shiqi immediately said to the soldiers beside him: "The grain transport team of the Song army is here, everyone is ready to attack."

"Yes." All the soldiers immediately prepared their bows and arrows and waited for the Song army to appear.

But at this moment, a fire suddenly appeared on the tops of the left and right slopes. Wu Su, Shi Ding, Wu Cheng, and Zhongliang turned around and looked at the top of the slope. They found that they were all Song soldiers, and each of them held a torch, five Song soldiers with bows and arrows facing the woods.

It turned out that the Song army had already been ambushing the back of the hillsides on both sides. After they entered the woods and were ambushed, the Song army carefully surrounded them from the back to the top of the slope.

"How could the Song army appear behind us?" Wu Su asked in horror.

Shi Ding thought for a while and said, "We were fooled. The Song army must have discovered that we wanted to attack their grain transport convoy, so we deliberately let our spies discover their route and time for transporting grain, and then set up this trap to let us be fooled so that we can catch all our troops and horses, so that it will be easier for them to seize Huguan."

"What should I do?" Wu Su asked.

Shi Ding shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do now. Let the soldiers be prepared to prevent them from attacking, and then see if there is any movement on General Shan."

Wu Su looked at the ambush place where Shi Qi was descending the slope, pointed to the distance below the slope in a hurry and said, "Look, there are also many Song soldiers over there."

When Shi Ding saw that there were Song soldiers holding torches a hundred meters behind Shan Shiqi and the others. In terms of the number, there were at least about 30,000 people, which surrounded Shan Shiqi and the others in a semicircular shape.

"General, we are surrounded by the Song army!" Shan Shiqi's personal soldiers said to him.

Shan Shiqi had already seen that although he seemed calm on the surface, he was actually very nervous. After all, the number of Song army was more than them, and he had personally experienced the combat capabilities of the Song army soldiers. It was not an easy thing to rush out with the 20,000 people he led now.

But at this time he could only remain calm, because if he panic, his soldiers would have no confidence in fighting, and there would be no hope of rushing out.

At this time, the torches came from the official road ahead, but it was not a grain transport team. Instead, the Song army with shields, bows and torches in their hands. They came from the front, lined up along the hillsides on both sides, and formed a shield wall with shields, sealed Wu Su, Shi Ding, Wu Cheng, Zhongliang and others who were ambushed on the left and right hillsides in the woods.

"Shan Shiqi, you are surrounded by us. If you don't want to die, put down your weapons and dismount and surrender quickly. There is still a way out, otherwise tonight will be your death." Lin Chong rode out from behind the soldiers and said.

Shan Shiqi looked at Lin Chong and sneered, "I, Shan Shiqi, are a hero who stands tall and upright. Are they a greedy person who is afraid of death? Although we have fallen into your trick tonight, it is not so easy for you to destroy us."

Lin Chong said: "Shan Shiqi, we adults think that you have good martial arts and are upright, so we think of giving you a way out. Don't be ungrateful, otherwise if you miss this opportunity, you will have a way out."

Shan Shiqi laughed to the sky and said, "Since I dare to be an enemy of you, I have already put life and death aside. Don't want to threaten me with death."

There were also Hua Rong with Lin Chong, Qin Ming and Liu Yun. Seeing that the mountain Shiqi did not listen to the advice, Qin Ming said, "General Lin, since this guy is ungrateful, you don't have to be polite to him anymore. Let's kill him and capture him alive and meet the Lord."

"Yes, we have an absolute advantage now, so there is no need to talk nonsense to him, capture him first," Liu Yun also said.

Seeing that everyone agreed to do something, Lin Chong did not talk nonsense to Shan Shiqi. He raised the Snake Spear in his hand and said, "Listen, all the soldiers, shoot me arrows."

"Brothers, shoot arrows!" When Lin Chong shouted to shoot arrows, Shan Shiqi also ordered the arrows loudly.

The ten thousand soldiers he brought had already prepared their bows and arrows. When he heard his order to shoot the arrows, he immediately raised the bows and arrows and shot them at Lin Chong and the others.

However, in addition to the archers, Lin Chong and others also had shield players. When they saw the soldiers on the other side shoot arrows at them, the shield players immediately raised the shield and protected the archers, Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Qin Ming and Liu Yun, so no one of the arrows shot from the other party was shot.

After the opponent's arrows were shot, the Song army archers immediately shot archers at the opposite side. Because they did not shoot arrows at the same time like the opponent, they took turns to shoot alternately, and with their many archers, arrows kept shooting at the opponent.

ah!

ah!

ah!

The opponent's soldiers were constantly being shot and fell down. Two or three thousand people died in just a few minutes.

Shan Shiqi saw that the situation was not good, and if this continues, their people will be shot very soon. For the sake of the current plan, only by fighting for the danger of being shot in the arrow can we have a way out, otherwise tonight will be the death of all of them.

"Brothers, go out for me." Shan Shiqi shouted, then rushed towards Lin Chong and the others.

"Kill!"

The anti-army soldiers saw that Shan Shiqi had already taken the lead in rushing over, and then rushed behind.

"Things that don't know what's alive."

Hua Rong put the gun across the horse's back, reached out to pick up his eagle bow, then pulled out an arrow from the quiver with his left hand and placed it on the bowstring, aiming at Shan Shiqi.

"General Hua, Shan Shiqi has good martial arts skills. The adults intend to conquer him and don't hurt his life." Lin Chong hurriedly reminded.

Hua Rong said, "Don't worry, I have a sense of responsibility."

After saying that, Hua Rong loosened his fingers, and the bowstring gave the arrow with a "bang", and then immediately pulled out an arrow from the quiver and placed it on the bowstring.

But when the arrow flashed like a cold light, the eyes of the war horse under the Qi Shiqi's seat of the war horse, the war horse screamed and fell to the ground and died.

Shan Shiqi was completely unprepared and fell off the horse, rolling on the ground for several consecutive turns, even the iron rod in his hand was removed.

After Shan Shiqi stopped rolling, he saw his iron rod not far from him, so he hurriedly reached out to get it. At this time, another arrow flew over and shot right in front of his fingertips. He was so scared that he quickly shrank his hand back, and then looked at Hua Rong and saw Hua Rong aiming at him with an arrow.

"Don't move anyone anymore, otherwise I will shoot Shan Shiqi to death immediately!"

Hua Rong shouted loudly, his voice as if thunder was shaking, and all the soldiers rushing towards him stopped.

Lin Chong shouted again: "Dear anti-army brothers, I know that most of you are from poor families. They were forced to join Tian Hu's anti-army only after they were forced to live without a chance. And I also know that you are not doing well under Tian Hu's hands. You are willing to fight for territory and seize the city for him, but Tian Hu and his anti-army generals did not regard you as brothers.

They eat and drink big fish, meat, wine and delicacies every day, and live a very luxurious life.

But you soldiers who work hard for them can only eat pickles and porridge. If you are not satisfied with them, you are either insulting or beating or even being killed, and your lives are not guaranteed at all.

Now, with the efforts of Lord Hua, the imperial court has eliminated treacherous officials and corrupt officials, and has made the people of the world start to live a good life.

Now His Majesty sent Lord Hua to lead his troops to wipe out Tian Hu, not only to rescue the people under his control, but also to prevent you from being bullied by him.

Your Majesty said, no matter what kind of sin you are committed in the past, as long as you can put down your weapons and surrender, and ensure that you will not cause trouble in the future, you can avoid all your sins. If you are willing to join the imperial army to wipe out Tian Hu, not only will you have a rich silver every month, but if Tian Hu is wiped out in the future, if you are willing to return to your hometown to serve the people, the court will also release fields for you to plant the food you plant. The court will only take a small head and the big head belongs to you, so that you can have enough food and clothing and no longer go hungry."

After hearing this, those anti-army soldiers could not believe that such good things could happen, because from ancient times to the present, even in the most peaceful times, the court had never given such good treatment to the soldiers or the people, so they were a little unbelievable.

"This general, are you saying true?" asked a counter-army soldier.

Lin Chong said: "What I said is true. Now, except for the people under Tian Hu's control, all the prefectures, prefectures, counties under the control of the court, including Lingchuan, Gaoping, Gaizhou and other places that were just recovered by us, have begun to implement the new policy I just mentioned. All the people have been divided into fields and have been written into official documents. As long as there is no betrayal of the court and the fields issued by the court can be planted for generations, and the court only collects 30% of the food harvested, and the remaining 70% belongs to the people themselves.

If you don't believe it, you can ask these soldiers around me. Many of them were under Tian Hu's subordinates like you. They surrendered only when we conquered Lingchuan, Gaoping and Gaizhou. They saw with their own eyes how the court distributed land to the people."

"What General Lin said is true. The court really distributed land to the people, and my family's five people were allocated ten acres of land."

"My family has been divided."

"My family is divided."

The soldiers under Harada Toro who followed Lin Chong said one after another.
