Chapter 903: A Huge Song Army Appears (Second Update)
Chapter 903
"Are you sure?" After Su Dongpo and Zong Ze glanced at each other, they all asked the dusty general.
"The last general can be sure, but he is worried that the messenger on the ship will not be clear, so the last general will come with the ship to report......"
"Obviously, you can see that this Liaoxia coalition army is not in order, and the team is very disjointed, the last general and a few brothers rushed north for a while, and saw some guerrillas scattering Yong is fleeing, so it is certain that there should be an accident on the side of Youzhou, so the last general sent a few brothers to continue to reconnoiter in the direction of Youzhou, and I rushed to report to the adults."
"It seems that it shouldn't be wrong......" Zong Ze slapped his palms, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"If there is really a change in Youzhou, then the pressure on our side ......" Su Dongpo also lit up, turned his head, looked at the map, stroked his long beard, and said with an expectant face.
"I don't know what the situation in Youzhou is going on, Wang Yang's kid has done a big thing, why didn't he send someone to inform the old man, it's too unrighteous......
Listening to Su Dongpo's complaints, Zong Ze's expression looked very strange, and he could even say such a thing as not being righteous and angry Su Dongpo's mouth, which was enough to see that Su was really like a nephew to Wang Yang, and it was not an official tone at all.
"Su Xiang's words are wrong, now, our scouts have just arrived, over there, presumably we should wait until the end of the war and count the results of the battle before sending someone over to report the victory."
"Well, that's right, it's hard for you to control Liu, but I'm afraid I'll have to work hard for you to go and pick up your subordinates and see if they have any new news......"
"The last will obey." The commander of the scouts said yes loudly and walked away quickly.
#####
At this time, Xiao Shen, who was sitting in the Chinese army, had an ugly face, which was comparable to the faces of Yelu and Lu Wei, the former commanders who were in the big tent of the Chinese army in Youzhou before, and received the holy decree of the change of the commander of the Son of Heaven of Daliao.
"Can you be sure that it's a messenger sent by General Jeruzinping?" Xiao Shen put down the book of war in his hand, his eyes swept over the big tent, fortunately it was dusk at the moment, the day's battle had ended, the soldiers were either collecting troops and returning to the camp, or they were preparing dinner, here, except for the two henchmen, there was no one else.
It's just that when these two henchmen heard the news, their expressions were instantly ugly, and they looked at each other.
"Yes, the last general was also taken aback, because he was worried that this matter was likely to be a trick of the Song people, so the last general detained him outside the camp, and presented his waist card and this letter asking for help, and asked the commander to distinguish the authenticity." The leader of the scouts fell to the ground.
And what was presented in front of him was a waist card and a silk book.
On the silk book, the handwriting seems a little sloppy, but Xiao Shen still recognized the handwriting of the general Yelu Jinping after all, and with the seal stamped on the letter of request for help, he can be 100% sure that this should be Yelu Jinping's handwriting.
But the problem is, how did he, Yelu Jinping, lose so quickly and so miserably.
Yeluxiong also hated the stamping of iron and steel, and said angrily. "The army of 80,000 people, all of a sudden, only half of them are left, and they are retreating southward, losing half of the 40,000 horses, isn't he Yelu Jinping very powerful?
How did it become so weak in a blink of an eye, 80,000 horses, who couldn't even support it for a day, retreated to the south! ”
"Our army has been operating outside Youzhou City for more than a month, and the whole four camps have been lost in one day, how many Song troops are there to be so fierce?"
"Look at it, Jeruzinping's letter. The reinforcements of the Song army were at least 100,000, including 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry......"
“…… Where did so many Song troops come from? The two henchmen couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. I never thought that there would be so many Song troops outside Youzhou City.
"That's the rear of the army, if the 100,000 army is not going to attack Yelu Jinping outside Youzhou City, but ...... towards us."
Speaking of this, everyone present, including Xiao Shen, couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Yes, if the 100,000 army is not to relieve the siege of Youzhou, but to directly copy the back of the main force of the Liaoxia coalition army, I am afraid that this will happen, even if the army can stabilize its position, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses, after all, Yelu Jinping is also a great Liao general.
almost made this Song army beat out all the dog's brains, if it was replaced by his own army, I am afraid it would not be much better......
"A big reason why they didn't copy the back road of our army is that behind us, there is General Yelu Jinping outside Youzhou City."
"If General Yelu Jinping knew that the main force of our army was attacked, he would definitely wave his army south to help, so that the Song army might not succeed in stealing chickens and become a turtle in the urn under the encirclement of our army, so this Song army reinforcement did not aim at us, but wanted to defeat General Yelu Jinping first, and then slowly go south to outflank ......"
Xiao Shen stroked his long beard, listened to the analysis of the henchmen around him, and calculated various possibilities, and had to admit that the analysis of this subordinate seemed to be very appropriate, and it could be said that Yelu Jinping blocked the knife for himself.
"Yelu Xiongye, you immediately lead 20,000 cavalry to rush to reinforcements, to meet General Yelu Jinping, after receiving it, form a formation on the spot, if the Song army is still continuing to pursue, then send someone to the Chinese army's big tent, this commander will personally lead the elite of the army, and meet those Song people who still want to get an inch after a while."
"The last general obeys!" After receiving the order loudly, Jeruchon hurried out of the tent. Xiao Shen stroked the long beard under his chin, and after touching it, he raised his head.
"My lord, with Yelu Xiongye's 20,000 cavalry, I'm afraid it will be...... Not enough to defend against the Song army. According to the opinion of the lower officials, the marshal should requisition at least this number of troops to reinforce the north. ”
"I don't know, but in this way, what advantage does my Liaoxia coalition army have in the face of Su Dongpo's southern army?" Xiao Shen rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache, and the wrinkles on his face were counted into countless identical words: egg pain.
As soon as Xiao Shen's words came out, the henchman's subordinates couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
"So what's going to be done? ……”
Xiao Shen stroked his long beard, and after the essence in his eyes flickered for a long time, he said gloomily. "Since he Yelu Jinping was careless and caused our army to lose its troops, then it is no wonder that the commander impeached His Majesty for his dereliction of duty and defeat."
The henchmen were stunned at first, but then reacted, and saluted Xiao Shen convincingly. "My lord, this army defeated the city of Youzhou, and caused the majesty of my Great Liao army to be lost, it was his fault for Yelu Jinping, and it should be so."
"Well, then you will draft a letter for Ben Shuai first, and then bring it to Ben Shuai after it is prepared, come to someone, and order the account to be raised! Summoning the generals! ”
