The army marched continuously all day and night, and after arriving in Yanjing, it did not stop attacking the city for a day, and it was already tired and did not want to move, at this time when he heard the order to retreat to Lugou Henan and camped, he even lost the strength to curse in his heart, and dragged his extremely tired body one by one, hurriedly lined up and retreated to the Lugou River, camped and slept, and did not care what his mother chose to fight again.

In Yanjing City, Yelu Dashi got off the horse with a happy face, and said to Xiao Gan, who greeted him: "Thank you Xiao Shu for your clever plan, so that I can come back." Yelu Dashi heard the sound of those horns, and saw that the Nanren cavalry was about to besiege him, but was ordered to be recalled, and knew that it was Xiao Gan's credit, and thanked Xiao Gan.

Xiao Gan said with a smile: "Those Taoist deeds of a certain family are not worth mentioning, but Lin Ya let a certain family throw their five bodies to the ground, and invite Lin Ya into the palace, and the mother wants to celebrate Lin Ya with wine." ”

When Yelu Dashi heard that he was going to set up wine to celebrate, he couldn't help but turn pale, and said: "Seeing that the Nanren army is outside the city, but we can't share the worries of the Lord, how can we eat this celebration wine?" ”

Xiao Gan took Yelu Dashi's arm and said as he walked: "Don't blame Lin Ya, the right person Lin Ya detoured through the Gongchen Gate to enter, and the Nanren have already retreated." ”

"Withdrawn? But really? Yelu Dashi hurriedly asked, he really couldn't understand why this southerner acted like this, obviously he had already attacked Yanjing City, although he was forced to retreat, but he could still attack it again tomorrow. You can't just have a north wind blowing in the city at every critical moment, right? I really don't know if this southerner general was kicked in the head by a donkey.

"Naturally, it's true, just now the guards in the city reported that the southerners had withdrawn ten miles away. A certain has already sent a remote barricade army to spy around, and there will be a return soon. Xiao Gan explained to Yelu Dashi, "Now please invite Lin Ya to drink a few glasses of celebratory wine, so that a certain table can show respect." Hahaha"

These Song soldiers scolded while walking, and it was really bad luck to follow Liu Yanqing, and they hurried day and night, according to General Liu's assumption, like a sudden descending of heavenly soldiers, they rushed to the outside of Yanjing City in the early morning and began to attack the city. Seeing that it's getting dark, and everyone is going home for dinner, it's time for them to eat and sleep, right?

But this Jiao commander insisted on saying that the people attacked at night and asked them to retreat sixty miles, damn, it's okay for this surnamed Jiao to ride a horse, but is it easy for them to march as soldiers? They had to take all the grain, grass, and armor with them, and when they got to the ground, they had to build watchtowers, set up antlers, and reject horses, and even dig dung pits......

These infantry marched back in the middle of the moonlight, and the cavalry escorted on the left and right, but fortunately, they saw that they were getting closer and closer to the Lugou River in front of them, and when they had eaten, they could sleep peacefully.

"Report to Lin Ya, Xiao Shumi," a soldier rode to the front from a distance, and saw Xiao Gan and Da Shi Linya together, and hurriedly said to the two: "Just now, the Yuan stopped and reported that the Nanren army had retreated to Lugou Henan and camped. ”

"Lugou Henan?" Xiao Gan couldn't believe his ears and asked again.

"Yes, camping." The soldier said again.

"The commander of the Song army will ignore the fatigue of the soldiers, and such repetition will make the soldiers resentful, so that the soldiers will not be in harmony, and this is the root cause of the defeat of the Song army." Yelu Dashi said with a smile.

"The defeat of the Song army?" Xiao Gan heard Yelu Dashi say that the Song army would be defeated, and hurriedly asked, "The southerners have many soldiers and horses, several times more than me, how can they be defeated?" ”

"Any famous general who leads a soldier must regard the soldier as a son, and is unwilling to let the soldier waste a little strength and life, so that the people below will die for you. But you see that the current Song soldiers and generals actually let the extremely tired soldiers retreat sixty miles back and camp, so repetitively and casually, how can the soldiers die for you? You also saw it during the day, just a few horns can make this Song soldier commander recall the cavalry, which shows that this person is mediocre and incompetent. Such an unjust boss is undefeated, do you and I want to be defeated? Yelu Dashi explained a lot in one breath, and Xiao Gan was convinced, this Yelu Dashi was insightful, and it was indeed not comparable to him Xiao Gan.

"A certain is willing to drive for Lin Ya and defeat the southerners!" Xiao Gan said sincerely.

"Don't dare, just ask Xiao Shumi to send a distant stop to find out the movements of the southerners, and when there is an opportunity, it will be the time for Xiao Shumi to kill the southerners. Attacking and defending cities is what the southerners are good at, and attacking and killing field battles is what we are good at! Yelu Dashi's eyes shone with extreme confidence.

As Yelu Dashi said, attacking and defending the city is the strength of the southerners, and after sleeping peacefully all night, the entire Song army began to renovate the camp tents and sieges that were hastily erected in the middle of the night last night.

Guarding the Lugou River, these Song soldiers who are good at guarding the city will build the camp as solid as gold, the east, south and west of the camp are dug trenches, and the north side is close to the Lugou River, so there is no need to dig trenches at all. Even after inspecting the camp by Jiaotong, who has always been based on the safety of his life, he greatly appreciated it, saying that although it is not a city, it is not worse than the defense of the city, and if you want to attack, you can go north at any time and attack Yanjing; To guard, but also to be guarded; If you want to withdraw, you can slap your ass and walk away - guarding such a camp, it is difficult not to win.

It's just that people are inert, and once they settle down, if they want to attack Yanjing City, they have to be ruthless. Not to mention the soldiers below, even Liu Yanqing himself didn't want to move these days.

During the day, I went out of the camp to walk on the horse, came back to drink a few cups, guarded the river at night, and the cool breeze blew to make people sleep until dawn. Even Fan people are aware and interested not to come to harass, at most, there are a few distant people from afar to watch here, and after a while, they will return to Yanjing City.

Seeing that the top is so leisurely, the people below naturally can't help but have fun, fishing for fishing, hunting for hunting, and giving it to General Liu to try it out. Everyone thinks that such a life is more comfortable than the days in Xiongzhou City.

But it didn't take long for the comfortable days to come to an end.

It was not that the soldiers were attacking, but that the logistics officer found Liu Dutong and said that the food and grass of the whole army were less than ten days.

"Idiot!" Liu Yanqing scolded, the ten-day demand is already a very small supply for the army outside. From Xiongzhou to here, there is no harassment of soldiers and rangers along the way, and it takes seven or eight days to transport it.

"Wang Yuan personally returned to Xiongzhou to escort the grain and grass, and set off immediately!" Liu Yanqing said, "Take 3,000 cavalry and escort the grain and grass over within five days." ”

Wang Yuan received Liu Yanqing's military order, took 3,000 cavalry, and went to Xiongzhou along the road where he came.

In the forest not far south of the Song military camp, two Liao cavalry followed unhurriedly and followed more than ten miles, and one of the Liao cavalry turned back to the north.
