Chapter 919: Where is the end of this war? (2nd Update)
Chapter 919
100,000 Song troops are going to kill the Left Wing Divine Brave Army Division, and if the Left Wing Divine Brave Army Division is lost, then the back road of hundreds of thousands of Liao State troops will be in danger of being cut off by the Great Song Army.
When he learned that the Song army was approaching the Left Chamber's Divine Brave Division, he immediately made a decision and sent 50,000 troops to the Left Chamber's Divine Warrior Division for reinforcements.
He led the army to temporarily stay in Xiazhou and sent messengers to the ancient city of Wuyan, where the camp of the Liaoxia coalition army was located.
Looking at the letter from the reinforcement general Yelu Dezhang, Xiao Shen's face was very ugly. "Song Ting actually dared to send troops to the Left Wing Divine Brave Army, aren't they afraid that my Great Liao army will not succeed in going south?"
"Dashuai, this time, the Song people actually shamelessly learned our method, and transferred the forbidden army from Bianliang to Hedong Road, and then dispatched a large army from Hedong Road to force the Divine Warrior Division of the Left Chamber."
"In this way, it is really difficult for my Da Liao to judge the reality of the fortress strongholds of the Song army. In addition, our soldiers and horses also happened to have completed the change of defense, and it also took time to run in, which gave Song Ting the opportunity to do so. The general, who had been ordered to send his life, replied respectfully.
"It seems that the Song people already know the strategy of our Great Liao, so they will make such a response." Xiao Shen stroked his eyebrows and smacked his mouth.
"In addition, since General Dezhang has already sent reinforcements to the Left Chamber's Divine Brave Army Division, it's just that, why did he want to be stationed in Xiazhou, and didn't come south to join forces with Ben Shuai all the way."
"Marshal, General Dezhang led the army for more than ten days in a row, and the people were tired, so the army was reorganized in Xiazhou, as for what to do next. Please also show me. ”
"Let Dezhang divide the generals and soldiers into two ways, one way to the ancient city of Wuyan to listen to the tune, and the other way, he personally led the crossing of the river through Xiazhou, enter the south bank of the Wuding River, and rescue Longzhou......" Xiao Shen glanced at the map a few times, and after thinking for a long time, he gave Yelu Dezhang a military order.
Rescuing Longzhou was Xiao Shen's original intention, but in the holy decree sent by the Emperor of Da Liao before, it was very clear and clear to tell Xiao Shen that he must try to keep the territory of Western Xia and not lose his land again.
It's okay if you can't attack for a long time, but you still lose ground again and again, this is too special to slap your face, Da Liao wants to be faced, you can't come with 200,000 reinforcements, and as a result, you lose a state of land, that's too unreasonable.
However, Xiao Shen's goal has always been Hongzhou, but now he is stopped by Su Dongpo on the front line of the ancient city of Wuyan, and it is difficult to make an inch. And Longzhou was attacked by the Song army, if Longzhou is lost again, then, the south bank of the Wuding River and the east bank, most of the land will fall into the hands of the Song people.
As for the fall of Shizhou, which is also located on the south bank of the Wuding River, it will inevitably become a matter of time sooner or later. In this way, what else is left of Western Xia in the eastern region?
The Left Wing Divine Brave Army Division must not be lost, the back road of the army is there, not to mention, the Western Xia has signed the letter of state, and the hundreds of miles north of the Left Wing Divine Brave Army Division have all been assigned to the Liao State.
Now that the Liao State is fighting with the Song Court for the little brother of Western Xia, there is no way to collect that territory for the time being, so it is even more necessary to protect the salient department of the Left Wing Divine Brave Army.
Although Yelu Dezhang's move of sending troops to reinforce the Left Wing Divine Brave Army Division without authorization made Xiao Shen, who was the commander of the first army, very unhappy, and felt that his authority as the commander in chief was provoked by the other party.
But it's hard to say anything, after all, the other party is also acting according to His Majesty's will. However, Xiao Shen still decided to teach the other party a small lesson. That is to let him cross the Wuding River to rescue Longzhou.
If he can save Longzhou, it will be fine, if he can't save Longzhou, then Xiao Shen will definitely think about the impeachment of Yelu Dezhang in advance, so that he can have a good taste of Ben Shuai's literary style and the benefits of the sword.

Five days later, Yelu Dezhang led 30,000 men and horses to cross the Wuding River. Converged with the soldiers and horses of Renta Zongbao, intending to rescue Longzhou. However, it has only been a day since he entered the south, and he has already received the news that Longzhou has been lost.
Zhi Kexing led 100,000 Hedong troops to attack the Zuoxiang Shenyong Army Division, and after learning that the other party had a large army to help, he was very interested in not rushing forward, but the army withdrew to the territory of Linzhou, but did not have the intention of withdrawing the troops.
Nearly 200,000 troops on both sides stared at each other here.
And to the west, after Baichi City was captured by the Song army, Li Qianshun was so angry that he once again went crazy in the court, and ordered to be beheaded with a false question, and finally after the bitter persuasion of Wei Ming Awu, he was finally only cut to the people.
After Ye Lihong collected the defenders of Baichi City, he strictly implemented the instructions of Li Qianshun, the lord of Western Xia, and never took a step beyond Lei Chi, and did not go east to provoke the Song army, but vigorously repaired the city defense in the Xiangqing Military Division, and tried to repair this strong city like Nayouzhou, which could resist the onslaught of hundreds of thousands of troops.
In the south, the appearance of the Song army on Qinfeng Road also made Li Qianshun frightened, but fortunately, although the two military divisions in the south were not strong, they had never suffered too many losses, so in the face of the Song army, they relied on the city defense to block the pace of the Song army's advance.
As for the ancient city of Wuyan, the daily battles are still so fierce, and the Song army and the Liao army seem to have decided that this is the best stage, and they fight here every day to the point of blood.
The Song army did not retreat a single step, and the Liao army could not advance an inch. To the north, Wang Daguan stood on the head of Youzhou City every day, looking through the autumn water and looking at the camp of Yelu Jinping, which was miles away.
A whole month has passed, and the reinforcements of the Liao State have also arrived for a whole month, and Li Qianshun has changed from a boy chicken (pseudo) to a mature man who married the princess of the Liao State.
But in this war, no one seems to see where the end is, where the spring is...... It doesn't matter if you want to fight until winter.

"How long will this war last, Xiao Shen, this bastard, wants people to give people, and soldiers to soldiers, what is the result? A month later, it's still like this, and even lost Longzhou, isn't it waiting for another month, even the Left Wing Divine Brave Army Division, and the territory that I Daliao just got will be lost?! ”
Yelu Hongji sat behind the imperial case, but his anger caused smoke to rise throughout the hall. All the civil and military ministers fell to the ground, and no one dared to speak.
Yelu Hongji was really angry, why did he change his coach, it was not because his own brother couldn't open the situation for a long time. For this, he even disregarded the friendship that would hurt his brother, and personally issued an order to let Yelu and Lu Wei hand over the Shuai Yin to Xiao Shen's hands.
At least in Yelu Hongji's eyes, Xiao Shen, who is young and strong, enterprising, and has a lot of prestige in the court, should be a good candidate for the coach, and if he is handed over, he should be able to quickly open up the situation. Win back a city for Da Liao, save face, boost Da Liao's morale and military prestige, and let Song Ting bow down and admit defeat with interest.
