Chong Shiheng got the military intelligence report of the First Division of Lu and read it, and he read it from time to time, and at this time he saw that he frowned and looked indecisive.

Seeing him, he said to the guards beside him: "Kind of Qiwei, you go and call the commanders above the battalion level, including the battalion level, to hold a meeting in my tent." ”

Then he said to the other guard: "Kind of fidelity, you go and call the prisoner Zhangdexiang, and say that I have something important to discuss." ”

At this time, he came to a map of the Song-Liao border and looked at it carefully, only to see that this map is quite fine, it not only depicts the mountains, rivers, passes and other terrain of the Song-Liao border in detail, but also depicts the official roads, rural roads, waterways and other transportation routes; It also drew a map of the administrative divisions of the two countries on the Song-Liao border, which was specific to the villages at the big point.

This map also includes the entire sixteen states of Youyun, and many places on it are marked with a red pen, and a closer look is the current military deployment and confrontation map of the armies of the Song and Liao countries.

He took the candle flame and found the garrison of the 1st Army Division, marked the trajectory of its attack on the camp, and assessed the pros and cons of this operation.

Soon all the generals of the border army arrived at the tent, and the superintendent Zhang seemed to have come, these people were sleepy-eyed, looking at Chong Shiheng blankly, not knowing what was going on with them.

At this time, he said to Zhang Dexiang: "Zhang Jian Jun, the latest military intelligence spy report from the 1st Lu Division, you can take a look, and please tell me your opinion." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Dexiang took the report and read it, and after reading it for a while, he got up and walked around the big tent, looking inexplicably excited, and then handed the report to the chief generals and civil officials present to circulate it.

He opened his mouth and said: "Chong Shuai, I thought that tonight these tens of thousands of elites of the Liao Kingdom would inevitably be defeated, we can cooperate with the First Division of Lu to launch an attack on the Liao army, and wipe out all these elite divisions of the Liao Army, and in one fell swoop, Yelu Longxu will be hurt, so that he can put away his coveting of the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and if the conditions allow, we can take Zhuozhou." ”

After all, they have been stationed at the border all these years, and they have repeatedly fought-for-tat with the Liao army, fighting openly and secretly, knowing that the strength of the Liao army is strong and the combat power cannot be underestimated.

At this time, Li Yun, the former governor of Xiongzhou, came out and said:

"Zhang Jian Army, the strength of the Liao army is strong, far superior to my Great Song Dynasty border army, if you rush forward, our border army will not be able to avoid the fate of being annihilated;

Besides, the new army of the imperial court has won a big victory at the beginning of the war, but it cannot be arrogant because of this, there is a way that "arrogant soldiers will be defeated";

This time the new army raided the camp of tens of thousands of people with 10,000 soldiers, which in the old man's eyes was a foolish move of "hitting a stone with an egg". We still have to follow, just like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, I am against attacking the Liao army. How to deploy this black light? ”

When the generals of the border army present heard Li Yunze's words, they all thought it was true, and they all supported Li Yunze's opinion; also felt a little disdain for Zhang Dexiang, that is, he felt that he was not just "talking on paper", but even trapped in a desperate situation and died in the border army; They don't want to die without knowing it.

Chong Shiheng couldn't make up his mind at this time, and the camp suddenly fell into a dead silence, and even the sound of his heartbeat could be heard.

At this moment, Yang Wenguang led the army to the front of the camp of the Liao army, and saw that the scene was chaotic, the fire was soaring, the smoke was billowing out, and there were panicked soldiers everywhere, they were like headless flies, running all over the camp; There were also many soldiers who were on fire and rolling on the ground, screaming and cries for help one after another.

There were also 20 artillery pieces that came with the army, and at the sound of an order, the artillery roared in unison, and continued to bombard the camp of the Liao army, at this time the camp of the Liao army was like paper paste, many camp tents were torn to pieces, and the ground was blown out of a large and deep pit.

Yang Wenguang saw that the time was ripe for the attack, and hurriedly stopped the shelling, and then led the army to rush towards the Liao army camp.

The officers and men of the 1st Army Division began to launch the final thunderous blow against the Liao army, and it did not take much effort to attack the big tent of the Chinese army, and they saw that the tent had long since disappeared, leaving only a mess all over the ground, a pile of burning fires at the scene, and a deep pit left by a violent explosion.

Meng Ming stood beside Yang Wenguang at this time, and he said with emotion: "Brother Ping Zhong, you see that these Liao troops were invincible myths in the eyes of my Great Song Dynasty soldiers and people, since the Battle of Lanyuan, my Great Song Dynasty was afraid of the Liao army like a tiger, and did not dare to speak of war, allowing the Liao army to run rampant in the border land.

Even now the commander did not send troops to help us, maybe the commander had the heart but was powerless, and the border generals under his command were still cowardly, afraid of war, and refused to fight at this time, and just wanted to be a turtle with a shrunken head and save their lives; As the saying goes: "A soldier bear, a bear; Will bears, bears a litter. "Such generals are purely indiscriminate, and it is better to remove and replace them as soon as possible, so as not to waste a lot of the country's military spending in vain."

Yang Wenguang said: "Yes, this shows the importance of the formation and training of the new army, and it also shows how forward-looking it is to open the Royal Military Academy; At the end of this war, we hurried to report to the officials and asked the imperial court to speed up the progress of the formation and training of the new army and to dismantle some units with low combat effectiveness. ”

At this time, Chong Shiheng was still discussing the matter of sending troops in the big tent, and he had not yet discussed the appearance of an ugly man, at this time, the supervisor Zhang seemed to be unable to sit still, he knew that the new army had a killer weapon, and it would definitely defeat the Liao army.

He stood up and said: "Kind of commander, let's do it, I will lead 10,000 border troops to help in the war, after all, the new army is the heart and soul of the official family, and it has also poured a lot of effort into the official family, and it can't be damaged here." ”

His words suddenly woke up the dreamer, and Chong Shiheng also suddenly realized that he was in the northwest border before, Yang Wenguang had obeyed orders under him, and once broke the Western Xia army, broke through Huili City, and achieved great results; Now he is a celebrity in front of the official family, so he is ordered to train the new army, and he is appointed as the chief instructor of the Royal Military Academy, and he is promoted to a transcendent position.

And there is no need to say more about the concubine Meng Ming, his own identity has not hindered the trust and appointment of the official family, and now he wears many positions, that is, he has a civil and military rank, and his trust in him is unmatched.

Therefore, for these two people, he must ensure their safety and not let them be lost; So he hurriedly sent his trusted generals to help in the battle, and at this time, Zhang Dexiang also asked to go together, and he readily agreed.

At this time, the Song army camp was brightly lit, and from time to time there was a sound of assembly horns, and after a while, I saw a large number of soldiers gathered on the playground, and there was no edge in sight of the black pressure, and tens of thousands of people lined up neatly, which was considerable.

I heard a cannon sound, a large number of Song troops began to rush out from Yuanmen, and soon disappeared in the faint light of the early morning night, here is only fifteen miles away from the camp of the Liao army, and the cavalry will arrive in twenty minutes, and at this time, Chong Shiheng's younger brother Chong Shaolin led 15,000 cavalry has swept towards the Liao camp.

He soon saw that the Liao camp was already on fire, the smoke was billowing out, and the fierce fireworks were like burning the sky red.

At this time, the Di Qing Brigade had taken the Liao army's baggage battalion and military horse battalion, captured 200,000 war horses, and countless grains and grass; This officially indicates that the Liao army has no chance to counterattack, and the defeat is certain, and there is no power to return to the sky.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the 1st Army Division were capturing the remnants of the Liao army, and a large number of Liao army prisoners were gathered together, all of whom were ordered to squat on the ground with their heads in their hands, and let them trap each other.

Meng Ming hurriedly asked people to light hundreds of bonfires among these prisoners of war, and sent a large amount of cold-proof grass to prevent them from freezing to death and frostbite, at this time Yang Wenguang expressed his incomprehension, thinking that Meng Ming was too merciful to these prisoners of war, according to his wishes, he didn't care about the life or death of these prisoners of war.

Meng Ming explained to him: "Brother Pingzhong, these prisoners of war of the Liao army will be of great use in the future, you see that we will build railways and official roads in the future, and we need a lot of manpower, these prisoners of war are free labor, they only need to take care of food to work, and they don't need to pay for work, how good is it?" So we can't let them die, because if they die, there is no use value; Besides, there must be a lot of royal relatives and noble sons among these prisoners of war, and they can extort a lot of ransom from their families. ”

Yang Wenguang immediately understood when he heard this, and then sent Meng Ming on the shoulder, and quipped: "Meng Zhengsheng, you really have you, I really don't know how many flower intestines you have in your stomach, how many Khitan dogs will cry like this?" I like it, though. ”
