"Bold! Sun Tu, you are so presumptuous, you dare to speak like this! All the generals around him changed color and shouted loudly. Tong Guan, who was directly offended and questioned by Sun Tu, only had a playful smile on his face, and his eyes were staring at him: "Yuehou, are you teaching the old man how to use soldiers?" ”

Don't look at Tong Guan's old appearance, his body is not too strong, but as soon as he opened his mouth at this moment, a powerful aura that people dare not despise emanated, and the surrounding subordinate generals and counselors were all frightened and shrank slightly, and their faces changed again. But Sun Tu, who was locked by his momentum, did not have the slightest fear at this time, and still met his eyes, and said loudly: "Don't dare, the lower official is just stating the facts in front of him, now is the best time for my Great Song soldiers to break the Liao army, if we miss the opportunity, I am afraid that we will all become sinners who will be defeated in the future, and we will regret it!" ”

"Hmph, alarmist, in my opinion, the Liao army has not done its best, if it is killed at this time, it will really be defeated!" A general beside him immediately retorted: "Yuehou, what you said so, didn't you have colluded with the Seed Master Dao and them earlier, and wanted to use the lives of the soldiers of our Northern Army and the Forbidden Army to save them?" ”

"Yes, I think you have a problem, the current battle situation is unclear, and the Western Army is in a situation of hard fighting with the Liao army because of greed for merit, if I send troops at this time, I am afraid that the Liao army will fall into the arms! What is your intention in saying this? ”

For a while, many generals around him began to refute Sun Tu's statement and pushed him to collude with the Western Army. This made Tong Guan even more suspicious of Sun Tu, and once again looked up and down at the young man who had been cultivated and promoted by himself: "Sun Qianli, tell me, what are your intentions?" ”

Sun Tu smiled bitterly, although he had already guessed that there would be such a result, but when it officially happened, his heart was still full of loss and helplessness.

Yes, why did the Northern Expedition end in a crushing defeat when the Song army still had an elite army like the Western Army that was capable of competing with the Liao Army, even though it was clear that the Song Army had an overwhelming advantage in terms of strength and logistics? Everything that is present is the answer to this question.

From Tong Guan, the commander, to these generals, etc., they have all lost the honor and responsibility they should have as a military general. All they think about is their own safety and disgrace, only how to get the benefits from this Northern Expedition at the lowest cost, and more importantly, they also want to preserve the power and strength in their hands, and take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

In Tong Guan's heart, the breeder who has never been with him is the stranger. As long as he has the opportunity, he will do whatever it takes to eradicate it, even if he will put the last elite of the Great Song Dynasty into it, even if it will make this war lead to the final defeat. Perhaps in his eyes, the threat of the Western Army or the Breeders is far above the Liao people in the north.

As for the others' thoughts, it is much simpler, they just need to follow Tong Shuai, of course, it is best not to risk their lives and lead troops to fight against the terrible Liao army. Therefore, having the Western army fighting in front, whether they win or lose, is an excellent thing for them. As for letting them send troops to the rescue? It's just wishful thinking!

"My mind has been told to you very clearly, just to break the enemy!" Sun Tu narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his eyes were full of ridicule and disdain. At this moment, in his opinion, these people in front of him are not worthy of being called generals at all, they are just a group of silverfish who are consumed by profit and have no responsibility, silverfish in the army!

It was also at this moment that Sun Tu did not have the slightest hesitation, and he had decided to change the course of this battle in his own way. Anyway, history has already told him what will happen in the future, so no matter what he does, it won't be worse than this, right?

At this moment, there was another exclamation from the front, which instantly attracted the attention of most people, including Sun Tu, and everyone looked at the battlefield over there, and then the spirits of many people also tightened: "The Western Army actually has a backhand!" ”

Yes, just when most people thought that the Western Army was about to be able to restrain itself and eventually collapse under the onslaught of the Liao Army, there was a line of soldiers and horses in this defensive formation that suddenly came out of the oblique spurs, and it was actually a cavalry between 20,000!

Since the beginning of the surprise attack on the Liao army camp but was repulsed, this Western cavalry has not appeared. Whether it was the Liao army or the main force of the Great Song Dynasty in the rear, they all thought that they had scattered the cavalry as foot soldiers to fill the lack of front. I don't want to, they have been hiding this team as the last killer weapon, and suddenly released it at this life-and-death moment.

This cavalry stood out, and sure enough, the Liao army was shocked, and immediately a horn sounded, and their own cavalry, which was launching a surprise attack on the flank of the western army, was transferred to that side.

Moreover, they believed that as long as they could hold off this cavalry for a long time, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, which had circled the rear of the Song army, would be able to quickly kill and annihilate it together. Therefore, although the cavalry of the Song army came out suddenly, it was not completely impossible to deal with it, and the 20,000 cavalry could not change the trend of the war.

However, the variables occurred again when the Liao army quickly mobilized troops to intercept and besiege them. This cavalry, which seemed to be the last hope of the Western Army, did not kill their own Chinese army as they thought, but turned to the side and rushed towards the front before the cavalry not far away could stop it, and had no intention of engaging the Liao army at all.

"This is ......" Ye Luchen, the chief general of the Central Army, frowned deeply, and couldn't guess his intentions for a while. Such a cavalry suddenly slaughtered from the Song army's array but had no intention of fighting to the death, was it to escape from the battlefield? Or, among them, there were important generals of the Song army, who they killed to protect this person from escaping back to the south? But he threw the rest of the tens of thousands of troops here?

This doubt lasted only a short time, and was replaced by a wave of panic, because Yeluchen suddenly found that the other party had avoided the interception of his own cavalry, and suddenly turned around, cut the main force of the Liao army diagonally, and ran to the north. After all, he is a general of the Liao army with rich combat experience, and he always has this vision and prediction, and he instantly understood the real goal of this cavalry - they did not come to the Chinese army where they were, but set the target at the Liao army camp further behind!

In an instant, he had figured everything out, it turned out that the Song army had already made a plan, and all the previous temptations and strong attacks and hard defenses were just false moves, but the real killing moves fell here. When he was ordered to bring out almost all the horses in the camp to annihilate the enemy in front of him, the rear camp was empty. And as long as the Song army can bypass the interception on their side, that big camp and the commander in the battalion will become lambs to the slaughter under their swords!

Thinking about it further, once the camp of the Chinese army is broken, and Yelu Xiongge and other commanders and generals are wiped out by the Song army, the Liao army will inevitably be in turmoil, and at that time, the direction of this Song-Liao decisive battle will be reversed again!

The Song army's conspiracy must not be allowed to succeed! Ye Luchen immediately gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Order, let the front army retreat and intercept it, and intercept the Song army cavalry for me at all costs!" ”

With the promulgation of this order, the Liao army, which was launching a frontal assault on the western army, quickly retreated, and at the same time, the cavalry on the flank accelerated the pursuit in a hurry, vowing to catch up with the enemy and block its offensive. And the Central Military Department of the Liao Army, no longer caring about its own safety, divided nearly 10,000 troops, and quickly deployed a formation to intercept it. At this time, the Liao army could no longer take care of the tens of thousands of Western troops in front of them who were still fighting to the death.

Naturally, it was impossible to let go of such a great opportunity, and with a wave of the flag, the order was decisively ordered, and the Western Army switched from defense to attack, pressing straight up on the whole line, and reversed the previous passive situation in an instant. For a time, countless Liao troops were killed, and the offensive was even weaker.

In the camp of the Chinese army in the rear, all the generals who saw this scene were already dumbfounded, who would have thought that the battle situation would suddenly change one hundred and eighty degrees when they were about to lose. Even Sun Tu was also surprised, I didn't expect that the seed master Dao they still have such a ruthless trick of winning in defeat and surviving in death, the Western Army really deserves to be the last elite of the Great Song Dynasty, and the second elder of the seed family is also worthy of being the last two famous generals of the Northern Song Dynasty!

It turned out that they not only pinned their hopes on themselves, an outsider, but also had the intention of relying on their own strength to win the final victory. And as far as it stands, once this trick comes out, it is really possible to win in one fell swoop. Because no matter how strong the Liao army is, it will not be able to escape the weakness of an army since ancient times, once the lord is killed or captured, it is the time for the whole army to collapse.

As for Tong Guan, at this moment, he watched in a daze as the cavalry of the Western Army quickly tore through the interception of the Liao army's foot soldiers, and rushed ahead of the opposing cavalry to bypass the Liao army's large array, and continued to rush towards the army. Because the cavalry of the Liao army had rushed back and forth many times before, their horses obviously couldn't keep up with the speed of the Western army, which had been recuperating, and the distance between the two sides was still being widened step by step.

His expression became a little strange, and his heart was a mess, and he didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed. Because once this is defeated, then the credit for this decisive battle will all belong to the Western Army, and everyone will see it, hundreds of thousands of people will look at it, and he can't take the credit for it regardless of face. And he just said that he was dead, the Western Army was a big war with the Liao Army "on its own", not under his Tong Guan's orders.

Perhaps the only way is to take advantage of the undecided battle and send troops to attack it, so that we can grab some credit.

Just when Tong Guan's heart was moved and he was about to give the order to attack, the battle variables ahead were renewed......
