The reconnaissance and reconnaissance posts sent out for two consecutive days were like mud into the sea, there was no news, Li Dan and Zhitan, the generals of Liu Song's army, were in a hurry, they couldn't help but be anxious, they didn't know anything about the detailed strength of the cadre army, and they didn't know the situation in Chengdu, and whether there was a need for reinforcements?

When the sun rose on the morning of the third day, Zhi Tan couldn't hold his breath anymore, and he said to Li Dan: "General Li, we can't be trapped here all the time, we don't have much food, we can only support it for two days at most, and after two days, the soldiers will be discouraged because of the lack of food, we must take action before that moment comes!" ”

"Our strength is not lost now, we can not be afraid of the six thousand dry cavalry, I think we have to set off to Chengdu City, once the dry cavalry to attack, we will immediately set up a formation to meet the battle, if we really want to fight, we don't know who loses and who wins, but if we don't even have the courage to fight, it is better to surrender directly!"

Up to now, Li Dan can't think of any better way, the powerful combat power of the Qianjun cavalry has already left a deep memory in his heart, which is lingering and cannot be erased, but as Zhi Tan said, if he doesn't even have the courage to fight, it is okay not to fight this battle.

Li Shan took a deep breath and said: "What the general said is very true, okay, let's lead the troops to Chengdu City, if the cavalry of the Qianqian army comes to attack, we must unify the command, until the general is a famous general, he has a family history and a high reputation in the army, and Li is willing to be dispatched by the general!" ”

To Tan hurriedly hugged his fists: "General Li thinks too highly of me, I am stained with the glory of my ancestors, but I have also learned some art of war, but I have not really led the troops to fight, I belong to the kind of soldiers on paper, now that the enemy is current, I don't want to be the second Zhao Kuo!" General Li is different, you have fought with your ancestors, personally led troops to fight with the cavalry of the cadre army, and you know much more about them than I do, I am willing to be at your disposal! ”

Li Shan saw Tan, and was quite relieved, to Tan in military talent is not as good as the ancestor to Yanzhi, fortunately, he is well-educated, not arrogant, and very self-aware, this is not comparable to many people, in this world can really see themselves, understand themselves, there are really not many people who have self-knowledge.

Li Shan pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, Li will take the lead, pass the order, and after an hour, the whole army will set off, march with a long snake formation, and protect the two wings with cavalry!" ”

To Tan hugged his fist and said: "Take the order!" ”

While Liu Songjun was preparing, the cadres were also having breakfast.

Zhao Junsheng sat on a big stone and gnawed on dry food, his face looked a little haggard, since he came to Shudi, he had a situation of not adapting to the water and soil, and there were many soldiers in the army who had this situation, but these people have been isolated and treated.

Yang Lie walked over and saw that Zhao Junsheng was not in good spirits, "Your Majesty, you ...... Why don't you go back to Chengdu Daying, there is an imperial doctor there after all, and the conditions are much better than here! ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm okay!" By the way, do you have something? ”

Yang Lie clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, the spies have come to report that Liu Songjun is pulling out the camp and seems to be ready to take action!" ”

Zhao Junsheng got up when he heard the words and said, "Song Jun can't hold it!" Pass the order, and the officers and men of the whole army are ready to go to battle! ”

"No!" Yang Lie clenched his fists and turned to leave.

As the order was delivered, some people ran around the camp, shouting as they ran: "Get up, get up, go to war, go to war!" ”

Someone next to him pouted: "Coaxing people again!" ”

It is no wonder that the officers and men of the cadres and soldiers do not believe that Liu Songjun has not moved in the past few days, and has not come down from the high ground, and the cadres and soldiers all think that this state will last for a long time, and now suddenly someone shouts that there is going to be a war, and it is not a formal order, and no one takes it seriously.

Unexpectedly, the herald came soon, and the order was officially issued to assemble all the departments and prepare for battle.

The soldiers quickly packed up their things, brought dry rations, weapons, bows and arrows, water, and other supplies, and led their horses to the assembly place.

A moment later, Zhao Junsheng came to the front of the team accompanied by Yang Lie and other generals.

"See Your Majesty!" Thousands of officers and soldiers shouted loudly and saluted.

Zhao Junsheng looked at the soldiers and found that their mental state was not bad.

He waved his hand and said loudly: "Soldiers, I received the news from the scouts, the Song army has already pulled out of the camp, no matter where they are going, we must leave them behind this time, they have 11,000 people, and we only have 6,000 people, are you confident that you can defeat them?" ”

"Yes!" Thousands shouted in unison.

"Good! It is necessary to have this kind of courage to fight! You are cavalry, the Song army is infantry, you are born with the advantage, and the Song army is afraid when it sees you! But you can't underestimate them, the lion fights the rabbit and does your best, and any enemy will suffer a big loss! ”

"You and the others are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they should understand that the more afraid they are of death on the battlefield, the faster they will die, and take out your strongest combat power and the most fierce spirit to defeat the Song army!"

All the soldiers raised their weapons and shouted: "Kill, kill, kill!" ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”

The soldiers marched forward on horseback and marched in the direction where the Song army camp was located.

Zhao Junsheng sent someone to tell Yang Lie, who was leading the army in the front, to keep him moving slowly, at this time the sun had risen, and the temperature had also risen, so it was necessary for the soldiers to maintain their strength, and at the same time, in order to wait for the latest news from the former scouts.

After marching for an hour, Zhao Junsheng saw a forest in front of him, so he ordered the soldiers to rest in the woods to maintain their strength.

It didn't take long for the spies from the front to report: "Your Majesty, the Liu Song army is pulling out the camp and heading towards Chengdu City, and the current location is fifteen miles southeast of our army, and the brothers in the scout camp have already exchanged hands with the Song army scouts!" ”

Zhao Junsheng heard the report and immediately ordered: "Order the scout camp and go all out to surround and kill the Song army scouts!" ”

"Order!" The scout clenched his fists in agreement and turned around and left.

Zhao Junsheng said to the herald soldier beside him: "Go and tell Yang Lie that the army is advancing westward, keep the speed, and we will intercept the Song army at Yanyue Lake!" ”

"No!"

The distance and the speed of the march have been calculated, and at the current marching speed, when the Song army arrived at Yanyue Lake, the cadre army had just arrived.

Scouts kept coming from the front, reporting the position of the Song army and the speed of the march.

"Newspaper—"

"Your Majesty, the Song army marched in a long snake formation, and a thousand cavalry were deployed on the left and right wings!"

Zhao Junsheng asked, "What is the shape of the Song army?" ”

"The formation is neat, and the morale is not weak!"

"Have the enemy scouts been cleared?"

"Back to Your Majesty, our scouts are advancing towards the enemy's position, and most of the enemy scouts have been annihilated!"
