Chapter 855: Thank you for the reminder, Lone almost missed a big event (second update)
Chapter 855
"Then according to this, Zhe Keshi gave up Baishi City and entered the hinterland of my three states with Renduo Zongbao, but it will make Da Liao vigilant and hinder its march to my hinterland?" Gao Shi patted his forehead and said with understanding.
"Yes, this is not just a matter of tactics, it is a problem involving the face of Da Liao, that is, a strategic issue, so if I am the commander of the Liaoxia Coalition Army, I will never allow such a thing to happen."
"Speaking of which, our pressure is indeed going to increase again......" Xu Zhao smashed his mouth, feeling a little painful. Obviously, it is a good thing for the overall strategy of the Great Song Dynasty, but it is not good news for them, the soldiers and civilians who guard Youzhou City.
"It may or may not increase, after all, it is impossible for my Great Song Dynasty to watch the Western Xia army of Xingqing Mansion break into the hinterland and disrupt the previous strategic arrangement."
"What's more, we also seized Yinzhou in the eastern part of Western Xia and coerced Shizhou, so the commander of the Liao army either let the Western Xia soldiers and horses converge to attack Youzhou, or let them reinforce the eastern region, and besides, the lord of Western Xia, even if he is unwilling in his heart, has to obey the will of Da Liao."
"All in all, although these victories have little impact on our Youzhou, they have stirred up the movement of the entire battlefield...... Wang Yang said with a smile.
The smile on his face, falling in the eyes of everyone present, became more and more unfathomable.

Xiao Wuna stood outside the big tent of the Chinese army, anxiously rubbing his hands and wandering outside the big tent, but he didn't wait too long before the commander's own soldiers came out of the big tent. "Your Highness, please ...... you"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Wuna, who has always been very steady in his daily life, opened the curtain and strode in. Not long after falling asleep, Xiao Wuna's urgent request for a meeting reluctantly squeezed out a smile to the commanders of the Liaoxia Coalition Army, Yelu and Lu Wei, who woke up.
"Master Xiao, it's so late, why don't you rest......"
"There is really an urgent news, so that the old man has to disturb His Highness in the middle of the night, and ask His Highness for forgiveness." After bowing respectfully to Yelu and Lu Wei, Xiao Wuna handed over the information he had just received.
"The Zhongshu of Western Xia, Renduo Zongbao, has led more than 50,000 Xia troops to capture Baishi City, which is located one hundred and thirty miles west of Youzhou City, at dusk yesterday."
"Oh? It seems that the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom really can't sit still, it seems that they can't take Yanzhou, there is really no way but to turn around and attack the small walled city in the north. This is very good, and there is one more soldier and horse, which can naturally put a few more heavy pressures on Song Ting. Yelu and Lu Wei saw the news and said with disapproving faces.
That small Baishi City, the spies of the Liaoxia Coalition Army had not been reconnoitred before, but it was just a small walled city with low city defense, and it had no strategic value compared to Youzhou.
What's more, at that time, there were more than 10,000 Song cavalry roaming outside the city, if less soldiers and horses were sent, it would be easy to be harassed by the Song cavalry.
Therefore, I haven't paid much attention to it, but the Xia Kingdom actually sent troops here to take this small city, which is really insignificant for the overall situation.
"Your Highness, don't underestimate the actions of the Tanguts, you must stop them." Xiao Wuna's words made Yelu and Lu Wei couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"Your Highness, don't forget, you are the commander of the Liaoxia Alliance, before, the Tanguts sent troops to attack Yanzhou without authorization, and that's it, after all, the western territory of the Xixia is here, and there is a white stone city in the middle."
"But now it's different, after they returned to the north and took Baishi City, then they should immediately march east to Youzhou City and listen to orders under Your Highness."
"Boss, don't talk too fast, wait a minute......" Yelu and Lu Wei summoned the pro-soldiers, took the towels handed by the pro-soldiers, wiped their faces fiercely, and finally made themselves more sober.
"What do you mean by this, Master Xiao......"
"Your Royal Highness, don't forget, my Liaoxia coalition army has been under this Youzhou City for more than 20 days, and the moon is near, but Youzhou City is still delayed...... Xiao Wuna was a little helpless, so he could only decide to say it.
It's just that as soon as he finished his first sentence, the faces of His Royal Highness Yelu and Lu Wei turned black on the spot, if it weren't for the love between the two of them who had known each other for many years, they might have to turn their faces on the spot.
But fortunately, Xiao Wuna didn't give Yelu and Lu Wei a chance to turn their faces, but said quickly and quickly. "Now, the elite of Western Xia has come to the east and descended to Baishi City in one fell swoop, and after that, it is very likely that they will take advantage of the opportunity of the Song army being trapped in Youzhou by me to invade the south and go deep into the hinterland of these three states."
"Isn't that good for my army? What's the matter. Yelu and Lu Wei's tones were already displeased, and they replied stiffly.
Xiao Wuna, who knew why His Royal Highness the Prince was angry, was not annoyed, but continued to explain what he meant.
"If the Western Xia soldiers and horses led by Renduo Zongbao are unfavorable, it will be fine, if the offensive is like a tide, overcoming thorns and thorns, and setting off a big wave in the hinterland of these three states, then, where does Your Highness, the prestige of the commander of the Liaoxia Coalition Army, exist? Where does my great Liao army exist? ”
Speaking of this, Yelu and Lu Wei's expressions finally changed greatly, and they understood, and now, he finally understood Xiao Wuna's intentions.
That is, my Liaoxia coalition army of 300,000 people has been under this Youzhou city for almost a month, but this small Youzhou city is still standing.
And Renduo Zongbao led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and after entering the hinterland of these three states, he killed the soldiers and horses of the Song State and overturned them on their backs, and even broke the walled city.
In this way, not to mention others, once this news is transmitted back to the ears of Yelu Hongji, the son of the Great Liao, it will be enough for Yelu and His Royal Highness the Prince Lu Wei to drink a big pot.
"Thank you for the mention, Lone almost missed a big event." Yelu and Lu Wei hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to Xiao Wuna, and said with shame on their faces.
"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, you and I are both ministers of Da Liao, so naturally you have to plan well for my Da Liao. Today, although the city of Youzhou is small, its city defense is strong and the strength of the defenders is rare. ”
"However, we know, but others don't know ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Wuna couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the ultra-long-range stone throwing machine in Youzhou City.
"The important thing is that we can't let this happen, so now that the remaining Renda Zongbao has not yet set off, I also ask His Highness to immediately send an envoy to Baishi City and order him to lead an army to listen to the dispatch."
Yelu and Lu Wei nodded, but showed another look of embarrassment. "If he insists on not listening, what will happen to Lone?"
