Chapter 661: Movements of the Armies
The reinforcements of the Liao Dynasty were very punctual, but they came at a bad time, and the Tielin Army led by their emperor Yelu Zongzhen did not take the imperial tent camp of the Great Song Emperor as scheduled, but was still entangled with the Song army, but this also shows that their opportunity to make contributions has come!
Xiao Hui led the army to rush over the time, and looked at the camp shrouded in fire from a distance and was surprised, originally according to the plan, His Majesty had already conquered the camp of the Great Song Emperor, otherwise the arrival of such a large-scale military formation must have alarmed the Song army.
But this moment is also the best time for Xiao Hui, obviously the emperor did not take the imperial tent camp of the Great Song Dynasty, so it is the best time for him to appear now! Once he joined, the Great Song Emperor would inevitably become a prisoner of the Great Liao.
Xiao Hui on horseback was in high spirits, turned around and shouted: "Follow Ben ......"
"Report ...... Five miles southwest of our army, the Song army was found, and the number was ominous! ”
"Report ...... Seven miles southeast of our army, the Song cavalry was found, and the number was ominous! ”
The two announcements of the scout rangers directly sent the scrappy Xiao Hui into hell, and a chill rose from the tail vertebrae and penetrated the Tianling cover, and he was tricked! Xiao Hui's first thought was that this was not the Great Song Emperor's hunting and wilderness at all, but the Great Song Emperor's bait to lure the Great Liao into a decisive battle!
And his own emperor really went straight to the imperial tent camp of the Great Song Emperor!
Xiao Hui can be sure that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is in the imperial tent camp, otherwise His Majesty will not continue to fight if the Tielin Army led by His Majesty has already come and gone, but the secret spy has reported that the Song camp is only more than 800 people, why has His Majesty's 3,000 Tielin Army not been taken for a long time?
Xiao Hui didn't dare to move, since his scouts could find the Song army, it meant that the Song army had also discovered him, and in the endless grassland, it was difficult to avoid the scouts' eyes just by relying on the ups and downs of the terrain.
Once he sent a large army to support His Majesty, the Song people were afraid that it would be the same, and the current situation fell into a wonderful balance, and the confrontation between the two sides was the best state, once which side broke this balance, that epic battle would begin.
The most important point is that once both sides go to support their own emperors, the result is likely to be that both emperors will die on the battlefield, which is something that no one wants to see, and there will be no victors in support, and there will be a large extent of their own emperors to win.
This is a decisive battle between Song and Liao, but in fact, it is still a contest between the emperors of the two sides, who can become the final victor, who is the winner, Xiao Hui and Di Qing both know that the loss of an emperor on either side is immeasurable to the enemy.
Xiao Hui has confidence in his emperor, the three thousand Tielin army will attack the eight hundred Song army, even if the number of the Song army doubles, the Great Liao will win, the delay now is only a matter of time, as long as the Song people make a move, then he will lead the army to pounce, and the Song general Di Qing will not be so stupid, he should know that he is watching his movements.
"Scout, probe the horse, give the general an eye on the Song people's military formation, the old man wants to see if he Di Qing dares to mess around, once the Song people's military formation is different, just use the arrow to warn!"
Xiao Hui's words made the generals of the Great Liao army breathe a sigh of relief, at this time they all knew that they could not act rashly, but they were worried that the Great Song army would take the first step, and now it seemed that their worries were superfluous.
Compared with Xiao Hui's stability, Di Qing was a little worried at the moment, what he was worried about was not the emperor's safety, but whether the Liao Emperor Yelu Zongzhen would retreat, once Yelu Zongzhen retreated, this Song Liao decisive battle carefully prepared by the official family would end without a problem!
Bao Zheng, who was temporarily "caught by the strong man" as the supervising army, didn't seem to be worried at all, riding on horseback and working hard to be familiar with the difference between military horses and horses, and from time to time he took out various equipment on the saddle to check carefully, and had a lot of fun, as if it was not a war about the decisive battle of Song Liao in front of him.
Feeling Di Qing's uneasiness and worry, Bao Zheng drove his horse close to him, the white-faced literati could give people a sense of civility and politeness no matter when and where, even if he changed into a battle cuirass belonging to the literati, Di Qing was even a little jealous of Bao Zheng's elegance from the inside out.
"Why is General Di so anxious? The generals I saw in the past were all landslides and their faces did not change color, why is it different today? ”
Di Qing snorted and said, "You know it yourself, why bother asking me!" After all, the official family is on the front line, although there are 1,600 people from the Pro-Health Division, but the Liao Emperor's Tielin Army has 3,000 people, and he will not worry about the safety of the official family, but if the enemy cavalry wants to withdraw, the people of the Pro-Health Division are powerless to stop it! ”
"Let's go? Where to go? He Yelu Sect is really the last fight, how can there be any reason to retreat? If he can really retreat and leave, my Great Song cavalry only needs to cover up the past, and even his own emperor is not able to fight, how much will his soldiers still have? Besides, you still see Yang Huaiyu and Cao Wei? Even if the Liao Emperor leads the army to defeat and leave, he must leave! ”
Although the thinking of the literati is a little pedantic, but it is not weak in terms of analysis, Bao Zheng said clearly the situation and future direction of the entire battlefield in just a few words, and also used his own analysis, so that Di Qing and other unparalleled commanders were speechless, and after thinking about it, it was really as Bao Zheng said.
Seeing Di Qing's sudden realization, Bao Zheng said: "At this time, the general is still worried about the official family, after all, there are only 1,600 people in the hands of the official family, which is worth half of the Liao people. ”
Di Qing smiled and said: "General Ben is not worried about the safety of the official family, this time the Guards Division does not use cavalry against the enemy, but against the cavalry with foot soldiers, not to kill many enemies, just to hold the camp, once the cavalry is limited in speed, although they are condescending on horseback, they are bound and eventually become the target of the enemy......"
As long as it comes to the battle, Di Qing can always talk eloquently, and analyze all the issues thoroughly, just like the analysis of Bao Zheng's situation, Di Qing constantly presents every detail of the battle to Bao Zheng's entire Wenchen, so that he can easily understand, as if he has seen the scene of the battle in person.
"Hahaha, it is worthy of Di Qing, it is worthy of being the general of Mian Ni who is boasted by the official family, Brother Xiwen received your "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period", have you read it?"
Di Qing's resolute and handsome face showed a little shame: "The military is heavy, and Di Qing only read Zhuang Gong and stopped abruptly. ”
Bao Zheng said with a smile: "It's okay, this matter is important to insist, but you can't give up, it's good that you can read in a broken section, as a general, you must not only know how to lead the troops to fight, but also be able to write and martial arts, you have passed the time to lead the army to charge, as a Confucian general to lead the overall situation is the best policy." ”
Di Qing clasped his hands into fists, saluted on horseback, and said, "Hanchen has been taught!" ”
