White's faction.

Yue Fei and Niu Gao had just returned to the base camp after deploying from the front line, and the two got off their horses and strode towards the big tent in the middle, but their faces were at a loss.

In fact, in ancient siege battles, it was not like what was played on TV, the defender was hiding on the city wall and throwing stones, and that kind of situation was generally when the defender was at an extreme disadvantage and had lost the strength to fight back. In the real battlefield, the defenders will still choose to take the initiative to attack and annihilate the enemy, so there are many fortresses around the outside of the city, which is the most important layer of defense. Thinking that at the beginning, Tong Guan attacked Yanjing, and the Liao soldiers did not choose to hide in the city, but took the initiative to seek battle, so generally large-scale battles took place in the field, not up and down the city wall.

The purpose of this exercise is to target these defensive deployments outside the city, which is the key, because if this line of defense is lost, then it indicates that Bianjing City is already in danger. They only need to tear through this layer of defense, not really attack the wall.

Niu Gao said with a look of annoyance: "Brother Yue, in the past few days, the Black side has been running around in circles all day long, and without attacking, we can only be led by the nose, and it is not a way to go on like this." ”

Yue Fei nodded and said, "You are right, the current situation is really unfavorable for us. Let's go, tell the palace marshal about the situation first, and then make a decision. ”

While they were talking, the two had already arrived in the tent.

At this time, He Guan and Hu You were studying something on the map, and when they saw Yue Fei and Niu Gao coming in, they hurriedly straightened up, and He Guan asked, "How is the situation outside?" ”

Yue Fei clenched his fists and said: "Back to the palace marshal, now the black side has deployed its forces in the northwest corner. ”

Hu You shook his head and smiled bitterly: "They have all run around Jingshi for a circle, and they are not afraid of being tired." ”

"A public soldier is like a god, we can't let our guard down." He Guan frowned slightly, and said to Yue Fei again: "How is the deployment now?" ”

Niu Gao hugged his fists and said: "Palace Marshal, please rest assured, we have deployed a large number of troops in the northwest. ”

He Guan nodded and said, "That's good, that's good, let's brake quietly." Anyway, we are inside, they are outside, even if they go around in circles, they will suffer. ”

Yue Fei frowned deeply, and said: "Although the palace marshal is right in saying this, but in this way, we are always passive, and we are one step slower than them, which is not good for our army. ”

He Guan asked, "Then what do you think should be?" ”

Yue Fei pondered for a moment and said, "The last general is also looking at something for the time being, but the last general thinks that it will go on like this. It is extremely unfavorable to us, and we should turn passive into active.

He Guan wondered: 'Turn passive into active? ”

Yue Fei hummed and said, "We can find a way to go around a team to the opponent's rear and wait for the opportunity to move, if the opponent comes to attack, we can defend and attack, and attack from both sides." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu You shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate. ”

Yue Fei said: 'Ma Shuai, what's wrong? ”

Hu You said: "Now the periphery is controlled by the other party. As soon as this team goes out, they will probably find out. ”

Niu Gao felt that Yue Fei's method was feasible, and hurriedly said: "Ma Shuai, as long as we are well hidden, how can we be discovered." Besides, the other side did not choose to surround us, but concentrated their forces to take us around in a circle, and we could have sent a team of soldiers to explore the road first and clear the spies on the road. Send troops out again, and you'll be foolproof. ”

Hu You said: "General Niu's words are wrong, even if we are lucky not to be discovered. But you must know that we do not have an advantage in numbers, and rashly sending troops will only give the other side an opportunity, and if the other side takes advantage of the moment when we send our troops out to lead the troops to attack, then we may be in a difficult situation. ”

He Guan seemed to agree with Hu You's point of view, and nodded: "Ma Shuai is right, our troops are not superior, we must not rush to send troops, if this team is discovered by the other party, it is likely to be surrounded and annihilated in the field, this move is really too risky." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "In fact, the opponent's strength is less than I imagined, if they choose to besiege, they will lose the ability to attack, there is no need to worry at all, therefore, he can only choose to concentrate forces, and we only need to deploy in place, relying on these fortresses and other defenses, they will never be able to attack, and in this exercise, we only need to hold on to win, not to annihilate the enemy, in this case, then why should we take risks." ”

Hu You nodded and said, "The palace marshal is reasonable. ”

Yue Fei and Niu Gao listened to it, knowing that there was no hope of sending troops, they all sighed secretly in their hearts. But this sigh does not mean that they have lost confidence, but they still like to take the initiative to attack in their bones, not to defend passively

The two armies faced each other, and three days passed without incident.

Black's camp.

Seed Master Dao took Fan Xin and He Chong for a walk on the edge of the Jinshui River, compared to Yue Fei and the others who were at a loss, Seed Master Dao had a relaxed face, with a smile on his face, quite a general's demeanor.

But He Chong couldn't be calm, for several days, they kept moving around the outer city, and they had just set up camp today, and they might set off tomorrow, which made him very confused, so he asked again: "General, when will we attack?" ”

The planter said, "It's coming, it's coming." ”

This sentence again? He Chong was depressed when he heard it, because every time he asked, the Seed Master Dao used these words to prevaricate him too much, but he didn't take any action.

At this time, a pair of sentry riders came in front of him, and it was Yue Tuo.

"The last general will see the general."

"No courtesy." The Seed Master stretched out his hand and asked, "Yue Turn, how is the other party's deployment?" ”

Yue Chuan hesitated for a moment and said, "General Hui, like the previous times, the other party has already been deployed, and if it is a strong attack, there is almost no chance. ”

The seed master stroked the beard and said, "It seems that they are doing a good job." ”

The other party has left us with no chance, and you are still laughing, what kind of commander is this! He Chong and other generals couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Fan Xin listened, groaned slightly, and said curiously: "Gong, isn't your arrangement in the past few days a test of their adaptability?" ”

Seed Master Dao nodded and said, "There is this meaning in it, is this a drill after all?" Oh, do you remember the purpose of this acting? ”

Yue said: "The purpose of this exercise is to improve the deployment of the Beijing Division. ”

The seed master smiled: "Yes, yes, since that's the case." Then we are only playing a supporting role in this exercise, and the key is still in them, so we need to create all kinds of variables, and see how well they can deal with them? Tokyo has the largest and strongest city in our Great Song Dynasty, and without more than 100,000 troops, it is impossible to surround it, so the real enemy will attack. They will definitely choose to concentrate their forces to attack one side, and this will test our ability to adapt and dispatch on the spot. ”

He Chong was puzzled: "But in this case, isn't our saving zΓ i just to cooperate with White, and winning or losing is only secondary?" Or rather, we have to lose. ”

The planter smiled and said, "Winning or losing is indeed secondary, but the old man has never said that we must lose, not only will we not lose, but we must win." In this way, this exercise can be more meaningful, and it is good to give us the vigilance of the forbidden army, the defense line of the Beijing division is not perfect. ”

Fan Xin asked again: "Then I don't know how the seed master plans to attack?" ”

The planter smiled but said nothing.

At this moment, a general came over. Clenched his fists and said: "General Qiyu, all ships are ready. ”

He Chong was stunned and said: "Ship ship? ”

The seed master smiled: "Don't you always worry about when the old man will attack? The old man will sue you now, and attack tonight. ”

Yue said, "Could it be that the general wants to attack from the Jinshui River?" ”

The planter smiled and said, "It can be said that it is." It can also be said that it is not. After a pause, he suddenly said, "The generals listen to orders." ”

"The end will be."

"Yue Turn, you lead three thousand archers composed of van soldiers. A thousand spearmen boarded the boat and set out at the right time, making sure to capture the Jinshui River before the time of the hour, and to cut off the connection between the other side of the river. ”

"The last general commands."

"He Chong, Fan Xin."

"The end will be."

"You lead 30,000 elite soldiers, quietly ambush in the north, wait for my signal, immediately attack the opponent's defense line in the north, without any delay, remember that you only have half an hour."

"Half an hour?"

"Huh?"

"The last will obey."

"Let's go and get ready."

"Yes."

That night, the north wind suddenly rose and blew on people's faces like blades.

Li Qi and several referees who took turns to watch the process of the exercise, since it was a drill, of course, there were some differences from the real war, the test was mainly the design of the tactics and strategies of both sides, not the hard work of the real guns, if not, this round of arrows down, God knows how many people would die, therefore, there are referees in each major road near each Beijing division to enforce the law, these are all veterans who have been on the battlefield, they will judge which side wins according to the strength and tactics of both sides.

"This seed is really good, he chose to attack this big night, it is clear that he wants to trap me, or Brother Yu is smart and does not come out of the door." Li Qi was curled up by the north wind, and his mouth was chattering.

The Seed Master Dao had already sent someone into the city in the afternoon to tell SΓΉ Li Qi, and he would be able to decide the winner tonight.

At the second hour, on the Jinshui River, a huge fleet of boats raised their white sails and roared towards the Jinshui River Gate by the north wind, the speed was extremely fast, like an arrow off the string.

Knock knock!

"Black has attacked."

The sound of drums on both sides of the Golden River suddenly rose, and the sound of footsteps and shouts came and went.

Whoosh!

However, the archers on the fleet released arrows without arrows, but with special fuel, which was usually used on signal arrows. A rain of arrows burst red in mid-air, blooming on both sides of the riverbank, lighting up the sky.

Li Qi, who was standing on the city wall, exclaimed: "This flower cannon is really beautiful." ”

Since there were very few bridges over the Jinshui River, and there were hardly any blocking facilities, the thousand spearmen, under the cover of the ship's archers, quickly occupied the bridges, but seeing that the two ends of each bridge were blazing with fire, in the blink of an eye, the fleet was completely in control of the river.

At this time, in the base camp of the white side, but seeing the continuous movement of the soldiers, they began to prepare for battle.

"Report! Black's fleet has captured the river. ”

"The river?" Yue Fei was a little surprised and said, "How many people do they have?" ”

"Judging from the ships," said the sentinel, "there are no more than five thousand men and horses, and most of them are archers. ”

Yue Fei frowned and said: "Impossible, impossible, just this little bit of soldiers and horses, and mainly archers, can not break through the Golden Water Gate at all, and according to the rules of the exercise, they can't attack the Golden Water Gate, we can now completely flank from both sides and surround this fleet, wouldn't they be alone, and it is impossible for the Duke to make such a mistake." ”

Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that the seed prince wants to use the Jinshui River to cut us off, and then concentrate his forces to break them one by one." ”

"It must be so." He Guan stood up suddenly, and said in shock.

"Report."

Another sentry hurriedly ran in and said, "General Qiyu, all of a sudden the Black army is heading north. ”

He Guan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said, "Yue Fei, you quickly dispatch 20,000 horses to rescue Ma Shuai." ”

The former sentry immediately said: "But the bridge of the Jinshui River has been completely occupied by the other party. ”

One of the generals said: "If we want to break through that fleet, I am afraid that it will take a lot of trouble, and then the northern defense line may be lost, and then we will lose." ”

"They only occupy the outer bridges, and we can go inside. Yue Fei, go quickly. ”

"Yes."

Yue Fei hugged his fists, immediately walked out, and led 20,000 soldiers and horses into the city and went straight to the nearest White Tiger Bridge.

This made Yue Fei have a faint bad feeling in his heart, and suddenly said: "It's strange, this Jinshui River goes directly to Da Nei, it should be very important, why are there so few military bridges." ”

An adjutant beside him said: "General Yue doesn't know, there used to be many military bridges in front of and behind Jinshuimen, but they were all demolished in the past few years. ”

Yue Fei said: "Why was it demolished? ”

The lieutenant general whispered: "The emperor personally ordered the demolition, because those military bridges are not very high, and the fleet transporting granite from Jiangnan cannot pass, so they can only be demolished." ”

Yue Fei frowned secretly when he heard this, and suddenly raised his hand and said, "Stop!" ”

The adjutant general was stunned for a moment and said, "General, what's wrong?" ”

Yue Fei said: "We will take at least half an hour to rescue us from the White Tiger Bridge to the north, if the other party suddenly attacks the west within half an hour, the palace marshal will definitely not be able to stop it." ”

The adjutant general said: "But the sentry in front has already come to report that the opponent's army is heading north, how can it appear in the west." ”

"That's just as well."

Yue Fei hesitated for a moment.

The adjutant general said, "General, let's do what we are told." ”

Yue Fei was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "Tell me to go down and march at full speed." ”

After about a quarter of an hour, when they came to the head of the White Tiger Bridge, suddenly a fire shot from the other side of the bridge. Yue Fei raised his eyes and looked at it, and he was immediately stupid. (To be continued)
