The family army is the hero of the world, and it is powerful in the world.

Since the establishment of the seed army by the seed master Heng, it is already the third generation to the seed master road.

Today's seed master Dao, who is over seventy years old, should have been at home for a long time, but this time he sent troops to attack Liao, and he had to go out of the mountain again.

Because of the breeder's generation, there is a talent gap.

The planter had two sons, but they both died early. Two grandsons, one died young, and the remaining one, Chong Yanchong, is only in his early twenties, and he can't pick up the big beam.

It stands to reason that in this time and space, men in their twenties, especially those who are in the family, should have been in charge a long time ago.

In the past generations, which male child of the family did not pick up the burden of the family early and go on the horse to kill the enemy to protect the family and defend the country.

Chong Shiheng's eighth son, Chongyi, in the year of the weak crown, led a group of family troops alone, crossed the river from Lanzhou to fight against Western Xia, beheaded hundreds of people, but he was unscathed.

It was Chong Yanchong's uncle, who was several years younger than Chong Yanchong at the time.

But time has passed, and at that time, there were many talented farmers, and they would not worry about future generations at all. Now, in this room of the planter's road, there are only two grandchildren left.

A kind of teacher, a kind of Yan Chong. Although there are many other children of the breed, they are not the ones of the Changfang—this plane values the eldest son and grandson very much.

Only the long house is the heirloom.

In this case, how can the planter be willing to let his grandson take risks. Therefore, Chong Yanchong has never had the opportunity to lead alone.

And this generation is not only like this, but also the younger brother of the planter, the same is true of the planter.

The sons of the planters are also gone, and only the grandchildren remain, namely Chongshen and his brother.

Chongshen does not follow the old path of the family, has been studying literature, and now he is an ancestral hall in the capital.

In this case, the only way to plant is to go out of the mountain.

Among the planters, there should be a guard nest.

However, "Lian is quite old, can he still eat", but the master does not have the slightest heroic shortness of breath.

The family army was born for war.

He's old, but there's a grandson down there. This time, the seed master Dao took Chong Yanchong into battle together, just to train his grandson with his own hands, so that the seed army could continue to grow and develop in the hands of his grandson.

In this battle, there is no defeat or victory!

He brought with him 7,000 men, known to the outside world as 20,000.

It's not just about scaring people, it's about profit.

When the family army fights, the court has to give money. If you don't have money, why should you give your Zhao family life for nothing?

It is the duty of a soldier to protect his family and defend the country, but if the court is empty-mouthed and white-toothed, let the soldiers work hard, which is absolutely impossible.

Zhao Ji is reluctant to fight, and a large part of the reason is also unwilling to spend money. Money is spent when there is a war, money is spent when there is a war, where does the money come from?

Isn't that a good way to print money?

If you can just print some paper to send people from all walks of life, Zhao Ji is not afraid. Anyway, paper is not valuable, just print it casually.

But he's not stupid, and neither are others. You want us to work hard, but if you don't take out real money, you just print some paper and want to fool the past, is this a fool?

People from all walks of life don't want these waste papers.

So Zhao Ji had no choice but to take out some real money and silver, and match it with waste paper to pay the army.

Since you are fooling, then all kinds of people are also starting to fool.

For example, the family army dispatched 7,000 men and horses, but the report was 20,000. If you don't do that, you can't do it. If he really reported it, he would get the military salary of 3,000 people at most, and the remaining 4,000 people could only take waste paper.

How could the Seed Master Dao do such a loss-making business.

He claimed to have brought 20,000 men, and in this way he barely got the real money of 7,000 people.

If the family army is like this, there will be no accidents for other people.

The Zhejia army claimed to have brought 10,000 - Wu Jie, who dared to blow more than the seed master.

What is he afraid of, he has nothing anyway, and he can pit a little.

The family army is just a one-to-three blow, and he blows one-to-five. Moreover, his 2,000 people are different from the 7,000 people of the Seed Master Dao.

At least the 7,000 people who planted the Master Dao were really elite soldiers who could fight. With these two thousand people in the Wu ranks, he was not ready to take them to the battlefield. Purely for banditry.

Does Tong Guan know this? Definitely know

Don't look at Tong Guan as a eunuch, but this eunuch is different from Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

Wei Zhongxian, known as nine thousand years old, has been causing trouble in the court, but he does not lead troops.

Tong Guan, a eunuch, has basically been in the army all his life. Either they are fighting or they are waiting for war.

He understands the cattiness of the army very well. But what about understanding? He can't change that.

Since the officials are unwilling to take out real money and only give paper money, why should the army honestly admit it?

Whose life is not life? It's all out to sell your life, don't give some money, can you do it for you?

This matter can only be turned a blind eye.

Anyway, this is not only the case in the Great Song Dynasty, but also in the Great Liao and Western Xia.

It is claimed to be 100,000, but in fact, it is good to have 30,000 or 40,000.

This is the truth, otherwise the Iron Harriers must not have only 3,000 people! This is the best evidence.

Since everyone is a claim, Tong Guan didn't care much about the Liao State sending 10,000 horses.

10,000 Liao soldiers, at most 5,000.

His own forward troops, there are 20,000 of the kind family, 15,000 of the Liu family, and 10,000 of the Zhen family, adding up to 45,000, even according to the convention, one to three, there are more than 10,000 people.

More than 10,000 people against 5,000 people, no matter how you count, you will win by yourself.

But Tong Guan made two fatal mistakes.

First of all, there were no 10,000 people in the Zhejia army at all. Wu Jie was bold and black-hearted, two thousand reported ten thousand, and these two thousand real numbers could not fight. It means that these 10,000 people do not exist at all.

In fact, the forward force of the Song army was only 7,000 people from the Chongjia army and 4,000 people from the Liu army, adding up to just over 10,000.

Secondly, what the Liao Kingdom came this time was not an imaginary number, but a real number.

Now the Liao Kingdom is about to die. People from all walks of life were scattered by the Jin State and fled into Nanjing, how could they still have a complete establishment. Even if there is, it has been reorganized by Yelu Dashi.

At this time, they went their own way, and the city of Nanjing was already broken.

Therefore, Yelu Dashi brought 10,000 horses this time, which is a real 10,000 horses. Not only that, but he also dispatched a large number of people, as logistics personnel, to transport five steam crossbows. It is hidden on the other side of the Baigou River.

This time, Yelu Dashi was ruthless. For the Great Song Dynasty, we must fight to the end! If the Song army could not be defeated in a battle, but instead fought a tug-of-war and a stalemate, then Nanjing would definitely not be able to hold it. He brought 10,000 horses, and the city of Nanjing was already a little empty.

At this time, if the Jin soldiers attack at the same time, not only will there be not enough manpower, but also there will be insufficient steam crossbows.

Yelu Dashi also hesitated for a long time before making this risky move.

In order to defeat the Song army while deceiving the Jin soldiers, so that Ah Guda did not dare to make a move at this time, Yelu Dashi tried all means.

He found a craftsman in the city, made a large number of wooden steam crossbows, painted them with black paint, and secretly replaced the real ones with these Xibei goods.

One by one, the steam crossbows were neatly placed on the city wall, and in the eyes of people outside the city, the number of steam crossbows was not less, but much more.

I can only rely on this to deter the Jin soldiers.

But deception can only be temporary, not forever. The real key to solving the problem is speed.

Only by taking advantage of the short time of deception and quickly defeating the Song army can the crisis in the south be resolved. Then immediately return to the city, restore the original garrison ability, and resist the attack of the Jin State.

The key to Yelu Dashi's whole plan is time. Time is his life, and it is also the life of Liao.

Once the war with the Song army is entangled as it was, then the city of Nanjing will definitely not be saved.

Yelu Dashi must fight quickly, and Tong Guan must also fight quickly.

The current situation is that the Jin State defeated the Liao State, and the Liao State only has this Nanjing City, that is, Youzhou City.

The city belongs to one of the sixteen states of Yanyun. And the sixteen states of Yanyun are the geographical dividing line between the farming peoples in the south and the nomads in the north - of course, Tong Guan will not say such an academic, this is what the author said.

Many people's understanding of the ground comes from the map.

But the map is flat, just take a ruler and measure it, okay, five centimeters, three hundred kilometers, divided by the speed of walking, or the speed of the car, is the time it takes. This is what many people think subconsciously.

But in reality, the real landscape is never as flat as paper. Therefore there are roads on the earth, and there are passes on the roads, and there are cities.

To fight from the north to the south, you must cross Youzhou, otherwise you will have to go over the mountain. But that mountain, horses can't climb over. That's why the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are so important. These are the sixteen gates, and as long as the gates are closed, the wicked from the north will not be able to enter.

Zhao Ji and the ancestors of the Zhao family, what they will never forget is the sixteen states of Yanyun. Tong Guan must take advantage of this opportunity to snatch Youzhou into his hands.

Now the Song army is in the south of Youzhou, and the Jin soldiers are in the north of Youzhou, and the two families are fighting in the middle together, and it must be who occupies it first.

Tong Guan is old, of course, he will not be naïve. Although the Maritime Alliance agreed that the Jin Congress of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun would return it to the Great Song Dynasty, the things on paper were worthless.

This is like the paper money of the imperial court, which is getting more and more worthless.

Only if you get it in your hands, then it is real money.

He wanted to fight with the Jin soldiers for speed, so he strictly ordered the vanguard troops to attack quickly. Fight when you encounter the enemy along the way, and never stop.

The planter is old and sophisticated, and of course understands the situation in front of him. He was the commander of the vanguard troops, so he took the lead and led the breeder army to the forefront.

On the south bank of the Baigou River, he finally encountered the Liao army.

It's a natural battlefield.

On both sides of the Baigou River, there is a vast plain, and the line of sight is not obstructed at all.

This is very important. Because of the vast field of vision here, the Planter Dao can be seen very clearly from a distance. He could see that there were no ambushes on the other side—there was no place to ambush them.

That's why there are so many enemies in front of you. It can be seen at a glance that the Liao State has 3,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry this time, and they are neatly lined up on the opposite side.

These 5,000 people are all the people of Liao.

He was a little at ease.

The 7,000 men of the Plantation Army had already entered the battlefield, 4,000 infantry in front, and 3,000 cavalry behind, looking at the 5,000 men on the opposite side.

At this time, the planter army had already set up a watchtower, and the planter stood upstairs and looked to the right. It was Liu's army, the right flank of the vanguard army, with three thousand infantry and one thousand cavalry.

Seed Master Dao nodded secretly. With such a comparison of forces, he can be undefeated.

He turned to the left again, and when he looked at it, he was taken aback.

The left flank is the Zhejia army, and he knows that there are not many soldiers and horses sent by the Zhejia army this time, but there are not many, and there should be 3,000 people, how can 2,000 come.

And these two thousand people are still missing arms and legs. Is this fooling me to play?

He took a closer look and found that the Zhe Jiajun was really fooling himself.

Wu Jie knew that his soldiers couldn't fight, so he deliberately delayed it last. But no matter how slow you are, you have to follow the striker, otherwise you will be beheaded.

When he came to the battlefield, the Zhuang Jiajun and the Liu Jiajun had already stood in formation.

Wu Jie's voice led it, and the Wu family army also began to line up.

However, the formation of the Wu family's army was different, each of them held two shields, and they were all placed in front of them.

In this way, in the eyes of the enemy on the opposite side, the number of people on this side is twice as large out of thin air.

This is also something that Wu Jie has long calculated.

What can only these two thousand people do? It's not enough. So Wu Jie had to bluff. He deliberately asked for twice as many shields as he asked.

It was approved without saying a word. Not only that, but he also wants Wu Jie to take as much as he can.

For the generosity of the eldest cousin, Wu Jie was also a little surprised. Shields, like armor, are combat equipment, why doesn't my cousin care so much.

Of course, he couldn't understand the current state of being able to squirt.

In the eyes of Zhekeqiu, everything about cold weapons is outdated, and what armor and shields are useless.

It's just that although the armor is useless, it can be used to make iron, and this one still has to be kept.

The shield doesn't matter, it's the cow and sheepskin covered with a big log. This thing is worthless, you can take it all - and save yourself from saying that I cheated you.

So Wu Jie equipped one person with two shields.

Now it comes in handy. Each of them held two large shields.

The shield of this time and space is not the kind of Western hand shield in later film and television dramas, held with one hand, the size of a pot lid.

The shield of the Song army is enough to be as high as one person, and the whole person can completely shrink behind. Looking from the front, half a figure could not be seen.

Therefore, after the Wu army set up a formation, in the eyes of the Liao soldiers, there were 4,000 people.

But this can only be hidden from the front, but not from the side and rear.

When the planter saw it, he almost fell off the watchtower angrily.

Folded boy, who are you trying to trap?
