Chapter 905: The Two Warring Sides Who Come and Go Without Showing Weakness (Second Update)

Chapter 905

"But my lord, you should be very aware of Your Majesty's temper, I have suffered such a big loss, Your Majesty will definitely not be willing to negotiate peace, and there is even a high possibility that he will think of taking back a city." The subordinates around him couldn't help but persuade.

"My lord, I am afraid that if you handed this letter to Your Majesty, not only will it not help, but it will also affect Your Majesty's ...... of you."

"What about the impact?" Xiao Wuna shook his head helplessly. "If I don't withdraw the army, my Da Liao's losses will only get bigger and bigger, at least, the old man will remind His Majesty first, it's better than watching my Da Liao Tiger continue to die in vain for the sake of His Majesty's face."

Seeing that Xiao Guna insisted on this, several subordinates had nothing to say, so they could only let Xiao Wood, a stubborn old man, continue to write hard there.

It's just that what Xiao Wuna, who was far away in the Left Wing Divine Brave Military Division, didn't expect was that at this moment, the three-way crossing, which was originally guarded by three thousand soldiers and horses, had already risen in the sky at this moment.

The three thousand soldiers and horses had already been killed and scattered, and those people were also scattered in all directions. The materials in the walled fort at Sanchakou were pulled away if they could be pulled away, and those that could not be pulled away were all unreasonably poured with fire oil by the Song army, and flammable materials were piled up and burned.

Even the humble wharf at the three forks was burned to the ground by the cavalry led by the planter.

The planter looked at the sky with an anxious face, while urging the soldiers and horses under his command to move faster, faster, and put all the materials that could be ignited into the fires that were burning more and more.

When the personal soldiers under his command reported to the Seed Master Dao that it was past noon, the Seed Master Dao resolutely ordered the whole army to withdraw from the three forks, ignoring the large amount of materials scattered, 20,000 elite iron cavalry, and went straight to the Wanjingkou in the northwest direction.

At this moment, Zhi Keshi was still urging the soldiers to continue their journey, they were still more than thirty miles away from Wanjingkou, and they were afraid that they would be able to arrive at nightfall.

Xiao Shen didn't expect that the Song army, which had always been on the defensive, would take the initiative to attack his own camp today.

Such a sudden move did catch the Liaoxia coalition army a little unprepared, but fortunately, after reacting, the defense line was stabilized, and the Song army's attack lasted almost a morning, and then slowly retreated.

The sudden action of the Song army also made Xiao Shen realize that although his army was far superior in number to the Song army on the opposite side, there was still a strong Song army behind him.

With the defeat of Yelu Jinping under the city of Youzhou, it seems to indicate that if he is not careful, this powerful army is likely to become a turtle in the urn.

For this reason, Xiao Shen decided to send reinforcements again, and after converging the soldiers and horses under Yelu Jinping, the Liaoxia coalition army, which totaled 100,000 people, once again pressed towards Youzhou City.

As for him, he commanded the main force of the army and continued to stalemate with the Song army led by Su Dongpo here. At this time, he sent two letters to Yelu Hongji, the son of Daliao, in a row.

One is naturally to impeach Yelujin's loss of soldiers, and the other is to ask for help......

#####

"Now, after the defeat of Yelu Jinping, the strength no longer has an advantage, if we want to achieve victory, we can only ask Your Majesty to vigorously support the soldiers and horses." Xiao Shen was not in a very good mood, and he expounded his views with the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Originally, I thought that the army on the Shaanxi Road of the Great Song Dynasty would inevitably be as cowardly as everyone remembered, and in addition to being good at defending the city, the field battle would be defeated.

Therefore, this is the reason why Xiao Shen decided to go south, but he never thought that Su Dongpo, a literati prime minister who did not know military strategy at all, actually led hundreds of thousands of Song troops to block the Great Liao Tiger on the front line of the ancient city of Wuyan.

Unexpectedly, today the Song army actually took the initiative to attack, such a move, Xiao Shen was also the leader of the troops after all, and soon realized that the hidden crisis of the Liaoxia coalition army was imminent.

The generals had no other way than to agree with Xiao Shen's strategy, after all, even if there was Western Xia to help now, the problem was that the current Western Xia was simply weak.

Now, the reinforcements of the Great Song Dynasty Qinfeng Road are advancing towards the Xishou Baotai Military Division and the Jingsai Military Division, and the Western Xia, which has been defeated repeatedly, has not even enough troops to garrison, and does not dare to send a soldier from the west to reinforce at all.

As for the east, Yinzhou was lost, Longzhou fell behind the Song army, almost wrapped into meat stuffing, Renduo Zongbao wanted to rescue, but most of the Xia army in the east was already in the coalition army, where was there any extra soldiers and horses for him?

Before, the Liaoxia coalition army, which seemed to be strong, seemed to feel that there were loopholes everywhere and problems everywhere in a blink of an eye......

"Speaking of which, alas, His Royal Highness doesn't know how to get through, obviously that Youzhou can't take it, so he traps Youzhou with partial defense, and the army goes directly south, I'm afraid that he has already taken the ancient city of Wuyan and taken Hongzhou, how can it be like today, let us advance and retreat."

The words of a general really spoke the hearts of everyone present, as for why everyone did not make this suggestion at that time, it was already in the past, and who would pay attention to it.

In this matter, another official stood up and told him that there was not much grain and grass left in the army, and it could only last for eight days at most.

"What's going on?" Xiao Shen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his gaze fell on Quite Chao Xinde next to him. "It stands to reason that when there are ten days of grain and grass left, the next batch of grain and grass should arrive, why is it so slow this time."

Seeing Xiao Shen's arrogant inquiry, he was quite uncomfortable in his heart, but he had no choice but to reply in a low voice. "The lower officials have already sent someone to urge me before, and I think that because of the rain in the past few days, the trip has been slightly delayed."

"No matter what, Ben Shuai will give you another three days, within three days, Ben Shuai will see the grain and grass arrive at the camp, the time is so good, quite a super-adult should not feel embarrassed, right?" Xiao Shen stroked his brows, and said majestically.

As soon as he heard that there were still three days left, he was relieved and hurriedly said to Xiao Shen. "Don't worry, the commander will pick up the right people to rush to Xiazhou to urge, and within three days, the grain and grass will definitely be able to arrive at the ancient city of Wuyan."

"Well, okay, generals, my Da Liao can't let the Song State take the initiative, tomorrow at two o'clock, I will launch an attack on the Song army's position and take them by surprise."

A cadre of civil and military officers agreed loudly, grinding their fists and looking forward to the big battle early tomorrow morning.

In the capital of Da Liao, in the palace of the Song King, Yelu and Lu Wei were having dinner, and the wine was poured into his throat one by one, and he seemed to be unconscious.

Thinking of the indifference of the Son of Heaven Yelu Hongji and the ridicule of those civil and military ministers when he returned to Shangjing yesterday to report on his work, Yelu and Lu Wei's mood became more and more indignant.
