Chapter 54: Commanding the Battle and Entrusting the Monarchs
Liaoying at night, a little lively, separated by several miles, although I can't hear the noise clearly, but looking at those mottled and flickering lights, you can feel the "busyness" in the meantime.
On the top of the sturdy tower, Liu Chengyou calmly stared at the Liao camp in the distance with his back against the mountain forest, his face was full of calmness. Zhang Yanwei and Guo Rong, who were in the Chinese army, including Xiang Xun, also rushed to hear the change.
"The movement of Liaoying has lasted for almost a quarter of an hour, and this kind of change is by no means unusual." Ma Quanyi was beside him, explaining to Liu Chengyou.
"Could it be that Li Wanchao and Gao Fang are making a commotion?" Liu Chengyou said.
Hearing this, Guo Rong spoke: "Other than that, there is no other explanation." The Su Rui battalion led by General Li must have threatened the rear of the Liao army in Zezhou. Perhaps, the high judge also succeeded in persuading Zezhou to rebel. If the rear is unstable, Geng Chongmei will inevitably lose ground. ”
"Your Highness, it seems that the Liao army wants to withdraw and flee at night, and it can send troops to attack!" Zhang Yanwei's face shook, and he asked Liu Chengyou for his life a little excitedly.
Glancing at Zhang Yanwei, Liu Chengyou said softly: "What, General Zhang also intends to fight?" ”
You must know that Zhang Yanwei had a conservative attitude before. However, probably seeing that the Liao army was really not so difficult to deal with, it was natural to change his mind.
"Your Highness, don't underestimate the last general, the last general's sword is not old, and he is still thirsty for blood!" Zhang Yanwei patted the saber on his waist, quite magnificently.
However, Liu Chengyou's expression showed hesitation, or caution, and he put the log railing blocking his chest, and said in a condensed voice: "Night battle ......"
Fighting at night is not an easy task, let alone attacking the fortress. Although Liu Chengyou was already very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Longqi Army and practiced overnight combat, he would never take it for granted that he could defeat the enemy by attacking, even if the state of the Liao army on the opposite side was so tempting.
Seeing Liu Chengyou's hesitation, Zhang Yanwei couldn't help but persuade: "Your Highness, if you hesitate and miss the opportunity, you can let Geng Chongmei escape!" ”
"He can't escape!" Liu Chengyou replied very strongly, in an affirmative tone.
This time, it was Zhang Yanwei who was aggressive and eager to perform. Liu Chengyou glanced at Guo Rong, but saw that he was also frowning and did not speak.
"If you have any doubts, the last general will lead an army and knock the enemy first as a temptation!" At this time, Ma Quanyi surrendered his hand and asked for his life.
"Obey!" Pumping hard, Liu Chengyou finally spoke.
A few people around suddenly straightened their backs.
"Give me a close watch on the movements of the Liao camp!" Liu Chengyou pointed to the south and ordered: "Order all battalions to assemble, be strong and persistent, be ready for battle, and be ready to attack at any time!" ”
After that, Liu Chengyou turned around and went down to the tower and went back to the account.
"That's it?" Until Liu Chengyou walked away, Zhang Yanwei muttered in a low voice: "Your Highness is also resolute and decisive on weekdays, how can you get to the battlefield and hesitate so much......"
A few people next to him didn't dare to answer his words, they each glanced at each other, and still spoke to Xun: "Generals, let's convey His Highness's general order first." ”
"That's all there is to it."
Under the order, the battalions of the "Jin Army" moved accordingly, and after a period of movement, they calmed down again, and there was no sound again. Like a resting tiger, it adjusts its attacking stance, bares its fangs, and aims at its prey, ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.
On the side of the Liao camp, the movement continued, but in the camp under the dark night, a team of soldiers, relying on the defensive wooden fence, were completely ready to fight. The blade of the spear reflected the cold light, and the arrows were shining with stars, if the Longqi Army really killed the generals, it would definitely not be pleased.
"Jieshuai, it seems that the Jin army has no intention of attacking?" After waiting for a long time, seeing that Jin Ying moved and returned to quiet, the tooth general broke the somewhat dull atmosphere and said to Geng Chongmei.
Geng Chongmei stood by the sword, and when she heard the voice, her silent expression showed a touch of helplessness, and she said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that Liu Chengyou would be so sophisticated in using soldiers. It seems that he has seen through Ben Shuai's strategy, so he can still bear it! ”
Of course, Liu Chengyou didn't see through Geng Chongmei's strategy, and he didn't expect that Geng Chongmei wanted to set a trap to deal with him in such a poor and embarrassing situation. The victory has been decided, and Liu Chengyou is just suspicious of the night battle. However, in Geng Chongmei's eyes, it is the embodiment of "veterans of soldiers".
"That's it, leave one battalion behind, and the rest of the battalions will retreat south in order!" Quickly put away that little emotion, Geng Chongmei ordered sternly.
"Jieshuai, I'll stay!" At this time, the tooth will take the initiative to ask for help.
Geng Chongmei looked at the clansman, nodded without hesitation. Turning his head, he glanced at Tuanchi Village under his feet, his expression became extremely indifferent, and he said coldly: "If the Jin army from the east of the river comes to attack, burn this village, and delay the enemy soldiers!" ”
"Yes!"
At this time, Geng Chongmei did not mention the issue of "military discipline" again, and in order to withdraw the troops safely, he showed the ruthlessness hidden in his bones.
……
It took about half an hour, and like the Jin camp, the Liao camp slowly calmed down and fell into silence.
"What are Your Highnesses waiting for!"
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Chengyou sat upright, his eyes slightly closed, and he showed a calm appearance. Smelling the changes in Liaoying, he didn't say anything until Li Chongju returned.
Because Li Chongju was a native of Shangdang and was familiar with the path, he was sent south with Li Wanchao to lead the way to help in the war.
"How?" Liu Chengyou stared directly at Li Chongju and asked.
After returning from the mountains and mountains, Li Chongju could not hide his tiredness on his face, but he was not a little sluggish, and said concisely and clearly: "General Li, you have already led the Su Rui army to capture Gaoping and cut off the enemy's rear road!" ”
In just one sentence, it boosted morale very much, and the generals in the tent, the generals who asked suspiciously, finally understood what Liu Chengyou was waiting for.
Liu Chengyou also stood up, put his hands behind his back, and slowly paced in front of everyone.
"Your Highness!" Zhang Yanwei couldn't hold back and interrupted Liu Chengyou's pretending to be X.
His face slowly became calmer, Liu Chengyou turned around and sat behind the handsome case, and said lightly: "This way, thanks to the help of all the kings, the lonely side has to occupy Luzhou and the Liao army." Tonight, Geng Chongmei has succeeded or failed, and it is advisable to chase after him. Commanding in battle, not lonely, chasing the dead gradually north, lonely, do your best! ”
"Your Highness, please!" All the people in the tent ask for orders.
"Command, attack!" Liu Chengyou also stopped talking nonsense and gave orders briefly.
Under the order, the whole army of Longqi, under the leadership of the generals and colonels of each battalion, directly attacked the Liao battalion. The first army led by Ma Quanyi is still at the forefront and is unstoppable. At this time, Geng Chongmei had already led the main force of the Yan soldiers to withdraw along the mountain road, and the bluffing Liao camp was broken in a battle.
Soon, with the fire in Tuanchi Village, a fierce pursuit battle began.
