Chapter 160: Battle Situation (3)
Zhao Kuangyi's instructions to Cao Zong are to arrive in Youzhou quickly, join Pan Kai, and before the Song army launches an attack, hide out of the city, as for whether to lurk outside Youzhou City, or to Zhuozhou to join the army, waiting for the opportunity to move, if there is a chance, cut off the Liao army's grain and grass, quickly decide, not to fight, wait for the army to arrive, if the other two route armies fail to arrive on time, make a false encirclement, confuse the Liao army, delay time, and then, once again, emphasize again, safety first, the army has a careful deployment, Cao Zong Pan Kai if the operation is successful, it is the icing on the cake, if not, and the overall situation is not hindered, the two are the hope of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, not reckless, the two are missing, so that the Youzhou Liao army can not be careless, which is enough.

Pan Kai is very good at martial arts, and he didn't delay in studying, he is a civil and military all-rounder, a young hero, during his time in Youzhou, don't let him have a straight face, he is not close to anyone, and he likes to be alone, but the deployment of Youzhou's city defense, he also quietly touched the bottom of the sky, the entire Youzhou City, except for the general's mansion of Yelu Huge, the rest of the places, Pan Kai can tell the characteristics of each place with his eyes closed.
Originally, Pan Kai wanted to find an opportunity to enjoy the scenery near the military camp outside Youzhou City, and Cao Zong arrived.
Pan Kai was surprised, and quickly came up with a plan, and the route out of the city was also clear.
After feasting on Jelusin, he took his men and horses out of the city in disguise in batches, which went very smoothly, and then went north to avoid the pursuers.
According to the news brought by Cao Zong, Pan Kai and his entourage pinched the time and moved towards Zhuozhou slowly and safely, because Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelu Longxu arrived outside Zhuozhou, there must be a vicious battle in Zhuozhou!
The two arrived in Zhuozhou later than Empress Dowager Xiao's army, and they didn't expect that Cao Bin's army had captured Zhuozhou for the second time and abandoned the city for the second time.
When the two learned that Cao Bin's army was already in Zhuozhou, they were already surprised, according to the marching plan, the army attacked Zhuozhou too early, right?
The two looked at each other, and they didn't know if the other two armies had also accelerated the pace of marching, which was very difficult.
Cao Zong was worried, did he wait for the opportunity to burn Empress Dowager Xiao's grain and grass, or did he pretend that the Yonetian army had arrived?
Pan Kai can't make up his mind, he has been trained in Taiyuan, although he didn't go to Yang's father's account for an internship, but he can roughly estimate the marching mode of Pan Yang's army, "My father and General Yang should be far away from Zhuozhou," although General Yang is a fierce general, but he is not reckless, he should be able to fight steadily, and his father is even more thoughtful and will not rush forward, therefore, it can be concluded that even if the fight goes smoothly, there will be a long distance from Zhuozhou, "I just don't know where General Mi and General Tian are now?"
Cao Zong doesn't know either, and he's not familiar with Yoneda.
The two of them were worried, Cao Zong wanted to throw copper coins to decide, Pan Kaizheng wanted to say that it was more practical to burn the grain and grass of the Liao army, and such a few people did not know where the Yonetian army was now, how long could they pretend to be? was about to send someone to Zhuozhou to inform Cao Bin when he would burn the grain and grass of the Liao army, if the army saw the signal and immediately went out of the city to attack, who knew that the Song army would withdraw?!
The two were completely dumbfounded... When the army retreats, how can this grain and grass be burned? The morale of my side will also be affected!
Then, I learned that Cao Bin escorted the people of Zhuozhou to retreat, and the two were even more stunned...
Pan Kai looked at Cao Zong in a daze, "Are you sure that Lord Cao is leading the troops?"
Cao Zong stayed for a long time, "Could it be that Daddy has an accident?" shook his head again in shock, "Even if Daddy is sick, the generals in the army will not..."
"Burn the grain and grass!" Pan Kai gritted his teeth, now he only hopes to successfully burn the grain and grass of the Liao army, and under the panic of the Liao army, the Song army can stabilize the pace.
And Yelu Hugo led the cavalry and went straight to the Song army! Chasing while killing, chasing and killing, the morale of the Song army was exhausted in the process of chasing and killing...
And Empress Dowager Xiao's base camp is guarded layer by layer, not to mention burning grain and grass, even if it is close to the camp for five miles, it has to be discovered.
No matter how good Pan Kai is, he has no actual combat experience, although Cao Zong is not bad, but he has always been Zhao Kuangyi's bodyguard, and it is the first time to march and fight, facing the well-defended Liao army camp, the two are at a loss.
Pan Kai was very regretful, he knew that he should have gone to Yanmen Pass to consult General Yang, General Yang had fought with the Liao army for decades, and he had fought with Yelu Hugo a lot of times, and he must have summed up a lot of experience...
And Yang Dalang and others finally sent the people across the Juma River, went through the handover procedures with the rear personnel, and also saw Yang Erlang who escorted the grain and grass, Yang Erlang They are still the vanguard team...
Before the brothers could sigh, they were called to the big tent by the soldiers.
Although Li Jilong is quite critical of the small eyes, he still appreciates the combat quality of Yang Dalang and others, and heard that there is Yang Dalang in Mali, so he ordered someone to call Yang Dalang and others to ask for details.
Yang Dalang and the others didn't know what the big army was, they only knew that there was no food and grass.
The news brought back by the spies sent by Li Jilong was very bad, and the Song army was basically defeated.
Li Jilong saw that Yang Dalang and the others did not have the latest information to bring back, sighed, and made arrangements, Yang Erlang was not responsible for escorting grain and grass, and followed the Yang family brothers, "You four brothers with a team of men and horses, here to block the Liao army! Cover the army across the river!" Li Jilong pointed to the map, his tone was heavy, "But as long as there is a soldier left, you must not retreat!"
"Yes!" Yang Dalang and the others led in unison.
Li Jilong arranged manpower in three places again, and also gave a death order!
It must be a vicious battle soon, if the Liao army crosses the river, not to mention how many people can be left in the Eastern Route Army, even the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger!
Although all the generals in the East Route Army gathered, they all followed Cao Bin, Li Jilong did not have many generals around him, fortunately, Yang Dalang and others arrived, otherwise, Li Jilong arranged the troops, and he would have to be even more nerve-wracking, just like that, in the end, Li Jilong still took his own soldiers and personally sat at Yang Dalang's place, Yang Dalang They have the least experience... It's the weakest link...
And Yelu Hugo also launched a general attack on Cao Bin's department, how could the Song army still have any fighting spirit, tens of thousands of Song troops were either killed or captured, and blood flowed like a river in an instant.
Cao Bin packed up the remnants and rushed to cross the Juma River overnight...
Li Jilong led his troops to fight to the death by the Duma River...
And Pan Kai finally discovered the loopholes in the defense of the Liao soldiers, and said to Cao Zong: "I will take someone to set fire, and you are responsible for responding." ”
Cao Zong asked Pan Kai to stay and answer, after all, he was old and an adult, how could he hand over the difficulties to Pan Kai? Cao Zong thought that he was not so big-faced.
Pan Kai said, "I know the Empress Dowager Xiao, the Emperor of Liao and Ye Luxin, even if they are captured, they will have a glimmer of life, and besides, I will order Khitan dialect, after entering, if they are discovered, they can still be confused for a while." ”
Cao Zong still disagreed, entered the Liao army base camp and set fire, the chance of coming out alive is almost zero, whether it is the Pan family or the Cao family, no descendant dares to be captured alive...
Pan Kai was anxious, "Is this the time for scramble?"
Cao Zong said: "I have a grade, you have to listen to me!"
Pan Kai thought for a while and said solemnly to Cao Zong, "I'm seventy percent sure that I can burn the grain and grass of the Liao army, what about you?"
Cao Zong was silent.
Pan Kai said, "What we have to do is not who rushes to die, but who can successfully set the fire!"
Cao Zong paused, looked at Pan Kai, and said softly: "Alive!"
