Chapter 816: The decisive battle is imminent

After this battle, the morale of the Song army declined significantly, and the two armies formed a confrontation across the Fuliang River.

Li Chao was stimulated by this stimulant and ecstatic, and Empress Dowager Li ordered Li Qiande to issue an edict to appoint Li Changjie as the governor of the capital, the governor of both inside and outside the palace, and the general of the auxiliary country under the Tongzhong Shumen.

……

On the north bank of the Fuliang River, in the camp of the Chinese army, Guo Kui paced back and forth: "What is Zhao Dian doing?!" Where has our trolls gone?! ”

Yan Da smiled bitterly: "I heard that the naval ships have been intercepted in the port of Dongjing and have not been able to sail into the Fuliang River. ”

Guo Kui said: "Let the sergeants cut wood!" Build a raft! The matter has come to this point, and it can only be forced! ”

Yan Da said: "Tai Lieutenant, the art of war should be inflicted on people, not on people. Now that the army has been defeated, it is better to take advantage of the situation. ”

"I suggest showing the enemy's weakness, inducing the Vietnamese army to come, and we will set up an ambush and seize the ship!"

Guo Kui walked around two more times: "Then reduce the stove day by day, retreat the cavalry, and order Zhao Tuo to move closer to me, and make a posture of giving up to meet the water army." ”

His eyes fell on the map again: "Our naval army is obviously underprepared, Wei Shouan and Li Jiyuan are waiting for work, this cross-sea operation is too difficult!" ”

At this time, Xiao Gao Xiangye and Guo Huai came in: "After a little bit of justice, we have something to report." ”

Xiao Gao Xiangye arched his hand and said: "After a strategy, watching the battle today, it seems that our army's long-range suppression is not enough." ”

Guo Kui also gave his hand: "Gao Xianggong is right, but there is a countermeasure?" ”

Xiao Gao Xiangye said: "Can't you make a ballista?" ”

Guo Kui was a little surprised: "Ballista? That requires springs. Our army did not carry ...... this time"

Xiao Gao Xiangye was also surprised: "The first ballista made by Mingrun back then only used wood and hemp rope?!" ”

"What?!" Guo Kui was dumbfounded: "How is it possible?" How can hemp rope replace springs? ”

……

In a valley, a clumsy ballista rests on the ground, and on the crossbow arm of the ballista is a twisted thick hemp rope.

"Boom!" Guo Huai used a wooden mallet to lower the lock pin, and a three-pound stone bullet was ejected.

"Smack!" Dozens of steps away, a large stone was hit by a stone bullet, and a large piece jumped down, and the stone bullet itself was torn apart.

"Good! This thing is available! Guo Kui stroked the rough wooden pillar: "Su Mingrun was ...... at that time How old is it? ”

Xiao Gao Xiangye arched his hand: "Nine years old." ”

"Demons!" Guo Kui took a sip: "How did my Great Song Dynasty have such a demon?!" ”

Laughed wildly in a blink of an eye: "Hahahaha!" How did my Great Song have such a demon! ”

"That's it!" Guo Kui said with a hideous face: "When we attract the Jiaozhi people to cross the river to attack, we will use this to kill their broken boats!" When they also lose the advantage of the water army, this battle will have to be played in a different way! ”

……

After the Song army made some illusions of cowardice and fear of war, Jiaozhi's desire to fight really became stronger.

However, Li Changjie was not worried about the reaction of the Song army, although all the information showed that there was already news in the Song army that the army was running out of food, died of illness and fled, and the number of troops was seriously reduced, and even Zhao Tuo on the East Road had given up the battle for the mouth of the Changjiang River, and after returning to the right flank of the Song army, Li Changjie still did not make any move.

If you hold on to it, you should win, this is Li Changjie's strategy, and it should be said that this is the most effective strategy.

But his strategy is not the strategy that the Dayue clan, the imperial court, and the military and civilians like.

Grieved by the tragic death of his brother, Marquis Zhaowen wrote a letter to Li Changjie, asking him to take the initiative to attack the right flank of the Song army from Ambo Prefecture.

Li Changjie flatly refused.

Marquis Zhaowen then wrote to the Empress Dowager Li to impeach Li Changjie for fearing the enemy like a mouse, sitting on a large army and facing each other across the river from the Song army, and allowing the Song army to ravage the land of Dayue and give up the heavy land with people.

The officials in the northern part of Dayue were also impassioned, carrying a huge card with Li Changjie's poem "Mountains and Rivers in the South" and weeping and knocking on the throne, asking for an order for the Taibao to take advantage of the victory to send troops, expel the Song army, and revitalize the country's prestige.

Under such circumstances, the palace issued an edict asking Li Changjie to show the military situation, asking him whether he was playing with his own respect, and asking him to explain the reason why he could not send troops.

The waiter Li Wensheng came to the Dayue military camp in Jiangnan again to convey his will.

Li Changjie was studying the map, and when he saw Li Wensheng, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The Queen Mother won't even give me a month?" ”

Li Wensheng arched his hand and said: "Taibao, the whole country is united, the crowd is excited, and our army has won a big victory, why can't we fight?" ”

Li Changjie took out a metal can-like thing from the bookshelf behind him: "The situation has changed, this is the new military weapon of the Song people, it is powerful, it is estimated that Hong Zhenhou's war elephant encountered this, and the whole army was wiped out." ”

Li Wensheng looked at the thing: "What is this?" ”

Li Changjie said: "It is said to be called the Earthquake Thunder, there is a pin here, after pulling it out, throw it far away, this thing can explode and hurt the enemy with fragments." The men and horses within a radius of two zhang are within its killing range. ”

"The two thousand results of Ruyue Village, that is a barbarian team full of gold, it is not enough to win; As for the 500 troops of the Song people who crossed the river, our infantry army was difficult to fight against at all, and in the end we relied on crossbow arrows dipped in poison to take it. ”

"Even so, the losses of our army were far greater than those of the other, more than a thousand people."

"The waiter said, you can't go to Chen on my behalf, as long as we hold Jiangnan steadily, we can win without a fight, why take risks?"

Li Wensheng nodded: "What the Taibao said is all true, and I will present it myself." But...... Taibao, for the sake of the future of Dayue, this soldier, I'm afraid I have to go out......"

Li Changjie frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

"Zhaowenhou has been very active recently," Li Wensheng sighed: "Taibao is full ......of military books, don't you know how Lian Po was replaced by Zhao Kuo?" ”

Li Changjie's heart tightened.

Li Wensheng arched his hand and said: "Zhao Xiaocheng was the king for seven years, Qin and Zhao confronted Changping, and in the early days of the battle, the Zhao army lost, and Lian Po stuck to the camp and did not fight again. ”

"The Qin army has repeatedly challenged, but Lian Po has ignored it."

"Taibao, how similar is the momentum of Qin Zhao that day to Song Yue today?"

"Zhao Kuo is neither a close relative of the clan, nor does he have a real record, so he can still be a general. What's more, Marquis Zhaowen is the uncle of the Shang clan today, and he still has the exploits of severing the water and land ties of the Song army? ”

"Zhao Guo asked Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po, and then 400,000 strong soldiers were wiped out, and the danger of losing the country will not follow."

"Taibao, once this kind of thing happens in Dayue, I am facing enemies on all sides, and I can't count on Xinling Jun who will steal talismans to save Zhao......"

Li Changjie is also extremely wise, Li Wensheng only needs to dial it lightly, and he immediately understands.

Sitting back on the tiger skin chair, looking at the military map and worrying.

Li Wensheng didn't dare to bother again: "The weight of the Taibao is enough to defeat 100,000 male soldiers, Wensheng is not familiar with military affairs and cannot help, so I will go back and try to buy time for the Taibao." ”

"Taibao, military power, must not fall into the hands of Zhaowen Hou, this is the original words of Taishi, otherwise even if I retreat from the Song army, my Dayue will usher in a turmoil."

Li Changjie stretched out his hand and pressed his temple, looking at the line of Fuliangjiang: "The arrow is on the string, I have to send it......"

In the first month of the tenth year of Xining, after a short period of calm on the Song-Vietnamese front, the war suddenly broke out again.

Marquis Zhaowen sent Zuo Lang general Ruan Gen to suddenly attack the right flank of the Song army led by Zhao Xuan.

Li Changjie had been prepared for a long time, and had been sending spies to deceive the Song army, saying that the warships led by He Bin and Yang Congxian had broken through Wei Shou'an's blockade, and the sailors were about to come to join the Song army.

Both sides have done enough to deceive, Guo Kui wants Li Changjie to fall into the trap, and Li Changjie also wants Guo Kui to fall into the trap.

The Vietnamese army occupied the two rivers, and the two naval divisions were able to communicate with each other by land, and Li Changjie arranged for Guo Kui to make a terrible exchange.

After Zhaowenhou sent troops, Li Changjie immediately ordered Wei Shou'an's Fuliangjiang naval division to retreat and trace the river upstream, creating the illusion that the Song army's naval division was advancing westward.

On the other hand, He Bin and Yang Congxian's pressure dropped sharply, and they immediately followed Li Yueshui's division and also entered the Fuliang River.

Guo Kui thought that Li Changjie was in a plan, and arranged an ambush circle on the east road, preparing to eat the troops of Zhao Wenhou and Ruan Gen.

And just after He Bin and Yang Congxian entered the Fuliang River, Li Yuechao's Yuanjiang Naval Division suddenly left the mouth of the Yuanjiang River, occupied the position of the Song Army's Guangnan Naval Division, and sealed them in the Fuliang River!

This is Li Changjie's fundamental purpose, all troop movements are a disguise, he wants to use Zhaowen Hou as bait, use them to fight with the Song army, and destroy the Song army's sailors!

This is the best way to counteract the Song army's earth-shattering thunder advantage!

As long as the Great Song Sailor is destroyed, the whole game of chess will be alive. The retreat of Dayue can protect itself across the river, and the advance can reoccupy Qinzhou.

As long as the supply road of the Great Song Dynasty is cut off and the rainy season is coming, even if the Song people have powerful weapons to rely on, the three states in northern Vietnam are also their burial places!
