713,Battle of the Daimyofu (29)
Hearing Yelu Dashi say this, Brother Cha couldn't help but be stunned, and said strangely, "Why did the general say this?" ”
Yelu Dashi looked around and said in a deep voice, "Lord Wang, don't you think our journey has been a little too quiet?" ”
Be quiet? Brother Cha's heart moved, "What does the general mean ......?" ”
"Oh, that's the case," Xiao Cha said to Brother Cha nonchalantly, "General Dashi has already told me, and he thinks it's strange that we haven't encountered any Song army interrogation and obstruction along the way since we set out from the station." But according to me, what's so strange about this, we were secretly withdrawing our troops in the middle of the night, and all the way around the Song army's city and military camp, of course it was difficult for them to find us, even if they had sentinels to find out, seeing that we had so many people, it was difficult for them to dare to show up for interrogation, it is estimated that they would immediately report to their chief, and then their commander would immediately send someone to report to the Daimyo's Mansion, just waiting for Yao Gu in the Daimyo's Mansion to react, we would have passed through the Grand Canal smoothly a long time ago, even if he wanted to stop it, it would be too late. So I think General Oishi is overthinking. ”
Yelu Dashi frowned again after hearing this, and said, "Lord Xiao's words are wrong, at the moment of the war, the vigilance of the Song army cannot be so low, otherwise if there is really a war, wouldn't he let the enemy army attack around the city at night?" And at present, our grain and grass are not protected enough, but they are just following the army in a hurry, because the army is marching too fast, and the distance between them and us is getting farther and farther. I think we should send more scouts to investigate the surroundings along the way, and then slow down the speed of the march to let the grain army behind catch up, and wait for the grain army to enter the protective circle of the army before acting, otherwise once there is a situation, the grain and grass we rely on to support the return to Daliao will easily have problems, and it will be too late to regret it! ”
Xiao Cha didn't like to hear this, he said with a sinking face, "General Dashi, do you know why we can move so fast now?" If we had the Grain Army caught in the middle of the line, would we be able to move so fast? I emphasize again, we are now secretly operating, the Song army can't react so quickly, let's attack Linqing immediately, I estimate that when we capture Linqing, the grain army behind will almost be able to arrive! There will be no problem at all! ”
Yelu Dashi did not speak, but turned his head to look at Cha Ge,
Brother Cha understood what Yelu Dashi meant, to tell the truth, he also had worries about this, he also felt that the current progress of things was indeed a little too smooth, but he was still more inclined to Xiao Chara's opinion, after all, things were already like this, Linqing was in front, and the arrow had to be sent on the crossbow, and more importantly, Xiao Cha Ra was the commander of the Liao army, whether it was the next two armies to cooperate all the way to Liao, or to return to Daxia by the way after arriving in Liao, he needed the help of this Xijing left-behind adult, in comparison, This young son of the Liao clan is not so important,
Brother Cha thought about it, and then smiled, "No wonder General Dashi can be the master of an army at a young age, he is really thoughtful and thoughtful, but ...... This king also agrees with Lord Xiao's opinion, General Dashi may have overlooked one point, that is, even if the Song army now knows that we are withdrawing troops, what can they do? Fight with us right now? Stop us from getting out of here? ”
"But the question is, with the current 300,000 troops of the Song army, do they dare to attack us with 500,000 troops? Don't forget that there is also a sworn enemy Zheng Linfeng who also has four or five hundred thousand troops by their side! Once they turn against us, they will have to fight 300,000 against 1 million people, unless they want to die early, otherwise even if they know now that we are withdrawing, they can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, hoping that we will not stay and join forces with that Zheng Linfeng again! ”
"Yao Gu is not a fool, he can only wait until we are away from this battlefield before acting, so this king also thinks that at least until we leave this battlefield, we are safe, and the grain and grass are also safe! Based on this, we can't wait any longer now, we are now in a race against time, the faster we run, the less time Song Guo has to prepare in front of us, and the greater the certainty that we will return to Liao Kingdom smoothly! ”
Xiao Chala nodded again and again, "Yes, that's what I meant." ”
Seeing this, Yelu Dashi could only sigh helplessly,
Brother Cha then smiled and said, "But General Dashi's opinion is also very important, grain and grass are our lives now. Genzi, it's right to be careful, Lord Xiao, it's better to do this, let's capture Linqing first, and then let the army rest in Linqing for a while, and when everyone is full of food and drink, it is estimated that the food army should also arrive, and then we will find a way to divide the troops to protect the food army, what do you think? ”
Xiao Chala nodded and said, "Okay, that's it!" After that, he also glanced at Yelu Dashi proudly and said, "Dashi, did you hear it, you are indeed too worried, in my opinion, unless the Song army and the Heavenly Dao army join forces to stop us, will they join forces?" Unless the sun comes out of the west! ”
Somehow, when Yelu Dashi and Brother Cha heard the words "Song Army and Heavenly Dao Army join forces", they were both shocked at the same time, but when they thought about it, they threw out the idea that this possibility was almost zero again.
Brother Cha said to Xiao Cha and Yelu Dashi, "In this case, whether we can successfully reach Da Liao next depends on whether our two armies can work together, why don't we take the Linqing City in front as a drill, I will send 10,000 people, you will also send 10,000 people, and our two armies will cooperate with each other to take it, and make a good start for the next cooperation and action!" What do you think? ”
Xiao Chara and Yelu Dashi looked at each other and immediately nodded, now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, no one should try to take advantage of each other, it is indeed fair to have the same people.
Soon, the three of them discussed a specific plan of action, after an order, the two armies started again, galloping together in the direction of Linqing City, and when they came to Linqing City, they saw that Linqing City was just a small county town, and the city tower and city wall were not high, at this moment, because the sky was not completely bright, the city gate was still closed, and there was not even a light on the city tower, it was dark and quiet, and it seemed that there was no one standing guard and guarding, and the whole Linqing was as if it had not woken up.
Brother Cha and Xiao Cha looked at each other and smiled, and the two of them gave an order at the same time, and the battle horn suddenly sounded, and then, the 10,000 Xia soldiers and 10,000 Liao soldiers who were already ready rushed to Linqing City together with a loud shouting of killing like a flood!
But Lin Qingcheng is still like a hangover person, and he still has no reaction to the rush that is close in front of him, and so far there is still a figure in the huge city tower.
Seeing this, Brother Cha pursed his lips and shook his head, and said to Xiao Chara, "Lord Xiao, you see, even if this Linqing City is far away from the front line, the reaction of the defenders inside is too slow, I'm afraid that they won't know what happened when we attack the city tower." ”
Xiao Chala smiled proudly, "The prince is right. If I didn't want to rush back to China to fight the gold thieves, to be honest, I wanted to stay and do a big job, so how could the Song army be able to deal a blow to us? ”
Brother Cha smiled, his eyes turned but he saw that Yelu Dashi never spoke, only to see him frowning and staring closely in the direction of Linqing City, as if he was worried about something, Brother Cha is really becoming more and more interested in this young Da Liao clan, through the incident just now, he felt that his evaluation of this young man at the beginning should be inaccurate, this young man does have some real talent, but his shortcomings are also obvious, it is not wrong to be cautious, but if you are too careful to look forward and backward, it will be a bit too much, The battlefield is a place that pays attention to decisiveness and courage, just like now, even he can't see what the problem will be with taking down the Linqing City in front of him, why does he still look worried? He's not ......,
Brother Cha was thinking about it, but at this time, he suddenly found that the expression on Yelu Dashi's face had changed, and he became so surprised, as if he had seen something particularly frightening, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, so he slowly turned his head to see what Yelu Dashi saw, but at this glance, his whole body trembled......!
Because...... Under the reflection of the rising sun, he clearly saw that in the air directly above the 20,000 troops in front of him, a large black cloud appeared at some point, and it was falling towards the 20,000 army with lightning speed!
Where did the black clouds come from on this sunny day? Brother Cha recognized at a glance that where the black cloud was, it was clearly a rain of arrows formed by a volley of countless arrows!
As soon as Brother Cha reacted, the rain of arrows had already fallen on the 20,000 army in front of him, and he immediately saw that the middle of the 20,000 army fell in an instant like wheat that was cut at the same time! Those who did not fall also seemed to be frightened by the sudden attack, and they all stopped advancing.
Brother Cha couldn't help but gasp! He could see at a glance that at least thousands of casualties had been inflicted on the 20,000 troops in front of him at this moment, what a terrifying attack! He also reacted instantly, this rain of arrows could only be shot from the Qing City in front of him, but didn't they react yet? How is it possible to shoot such a rain of arrows so quickly, which is carefully arranged and prepared at first glance? Don't...... They've been here for a long time?!
Just at this moment, suddenly! Brother Cha seemed to faintly hear a sound, like a mosquito in the distance gently flapping its wings,
Airplanes......!
He looked up at Linqing City again, his eyes were full of endless disbelief and shock, only to see that a black cloud actually rose from the sky from Linqing City, and smashed towards the 20,000 army again!
Swish......!
The army of 20,000 is clearly visible and a large number has fallen! The 20,000-strong army was in chaos, and those who were not shot began to turn around and run towards their side.
Immediately afterwards, the earth-shattering shouts of killing came from the city tower of Linqing City, and the city tower that was still empty just now was like a trick! The battle flag flutters, and the agitation moves!
Brother Cha was shocked in his heart, and a thought rushed up, ambush! Did you fall into an ambush?!
"Not good!" Yelu Dashi suddenly shouted, only to see him pull the reins and turn the direction of his mount, and roared towards Brother Cha and Xiao Cha, who was already dumbfounded, "Lord Wang, Lord Xiao, we have been tricked, you continue to command the army to break through Linqing City, and I will take people back to protect the grain and grass ......,"
But before he could finish speaking, he heard a person in the distance shouting "not good" in Khitan language.
Everyone looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw that it was a horse running here, and the person on the horse came to everyone and fell directly from the horse in a panic.
"Why are you so flustered?!" Xiao Cha shouted,
"My lord, it's not good!" The man hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground and shouted at the three of them with a sad face, "My subordinate is a team leader of the Grain Army, our Grain Army is being attacked by an unknown cavalry, and my subordinates are ordered to come to ask for help, so send troops to help!" ”
Yelu Dashi stared at the rear with wide eyes, and everywhere he looked, he saw that smoke had risen on the horizon behind him! He trembled violently, only to feel a chilling chill envelop his whole body......!
"Impossible, how can this be ......?" Xiao Chara's face turned pale and said in a trembling voice, "How can Song Jun wait to ambush us?" Our food and grass ......,"
"Xiao Chala!" Yelu Dashi turned his head and yelled at him, and the hideous appearance made even people like Brother Cha shudder, "Now is not the time to be stunned, I have to go to save grain and grass again, take a look...... How much can be saved! You take Linqing City for me, you must make a way for the army, do you hear! ”
Xiao Cha reacted at this time, but he had already lost his former majesty, and actually nodded cowardly at Yelu Dashi and said, "Okay, yes!"
Yelu Dashi gritted his teeth and glared at him fiercely, then looked at Cha Ge deeply, and then turned his head and galloped towards the east.
Brother Cha breathed a long sigh of relief, and glanced at a general beside him, who immediately understood, and immediately turned his horse head and led people to gallop in the direction of Xia Jun's grain and grass, Brother Cha turned his head and looked at Linqing City, gritted his teeth, and said to Xiao Chala, "Lord Xiao, I will send another 20,000 people, and so are you, Linqing City must be taken quickly!" ”
