Early the next morning, the army set out for Zhending Mansion, where the rebel army was located.

The troops are divided into three routes, the main force of 30,000 forbidden troops is in the middle road, and the north and south roads are each 5,000 war horses, strong and well-equipped cavalry, and the three route armies are three sharp swords and directly point at the Zhending Mansion where the chaotic army is located.

The army is majestic and high-spirited, when it is called a magnificent when it is out of the Daimyo's mansion, it is like a red-scaled python winding in the land of Hebei, the iron armor is sizzling, the pace is like a dense drumbeat, and it is directly popular with the people.

This kind of prestige, this kind of appearance, so that both the soldiers and the onlookers are full of confidence in this expedition, my Great Song Dynasty has such a strong army, why can't I pacify the chaotic army in one fell swoop!

Coach Ye Liangchen was even more high-spirited, dressed in black iron armor, wearing a red tasseled tiger helmet, riding a red flame horse to lead the three armies, and he was in the limelight for a while.

In front of the last few convoys of grain and grass in the army, there was a tall and upright general with a deep face, his brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes with a bit of heaviness and helplessness, which was incompatible with everyone's incompatibility.

"Humph!"

Looking at Ye Liangchen in front of him, as well as several high-ranking generals wearing bright armor around him, Wu Song sneered lightly.

A bunch of sake bags and rice bags!

Just before the army started today, Wu Song received news from his subordinates and Lu Junyi, after a night of pursuit, the spies sent by the rebel army had all been intercepted and killed, and no one had escaped.

And the majestic national regular army in front of him, the scouts in the army are just like decorations, since the forbidden army arrived at the Daimyo's mansion, it was surrounded by all kinds of dark piles and secret posts of the Liao Rebellion Army, not to mention pulling out one, and they didn't even find it......

Fortunately, Wu Song was not at ease after being driven out of the tent yesterday, and ordered a team of scouts he brought to unite with Lu Junyi's headquarters, and ambushed at various intersections leading to Zhending Mansion in advance.

Otherwise, today's army is so fanfare that the soldiers are divided into three routes, and after the chaotic army knows the plan, what is surprising to talk about? As long as people send a small force of cavalry to block the cavalry in the north and south in advance, they can abolish that bullshit battle plan.

Now Wu Song has no confidence in the main generals of the army at all, marching and fighting is not as simple as the book says, just make a good battle plan and command the battle?

No way!

As a general of the army, you must know the various departments of the entire army well, such as food and grass, such as scout intelligence, such as the number of infantry, cavalry, crossbowmen, shield soldiers, etc...... These must not only be clear, but also arranged, so that we can strategize and win thousands of miles away!

Famous generals can be born brave, but no one is born to strategize.

And Ye Liangchen and those so-called senior generals...... It's really in full accordance with the military book to lead the army, and nothing else is asked.

It is no wonder that those so-called commanders of the army and horses all of them are in a peaceful area, and they usually fight small thieves at most, and the rest are unenterprising bastards. Not to mention Ye Liangchen, he almost didn't know anything about leading the army.

Fortunately, some of the loopholes in the current march were plugged in advance by Wu Song.

………

Hebei was invaded by the rebel army is Zhending and Hejian two mansions, and Hejian Mansion was looted by the rebel army before, so now the rebel army will be stationed in Zhending Mansion, Zhending Mansion is closer to the Daimyo Mansion than Hejian Mansion, which saves the marching time of the army, set off this morning, and will be able to directly press Zhending City tomorrow morning.

Therefore, when the northern and southern route armies set out, they had already agreed with the main force of the middle route that the middle route army and the chaotic army would start a battle at three o'clock tomorrow morning, and the northern and southern route armies rushed out of the outflanking army at noon, and the chaotic army was taken by surprise!

At that time, the Song army did not have to worry about the refusal of the rebellious army, the rebellious army was the main force of cavalry, which was suitable for galloping field battles, and defending the city was a weakness, and the commander on their side would not dare to fight under the city as long as they had a little brain.

The basic element of fighting a war is to use one's own strengths and attack the other's shortcomings.

Of course, if the rebel army guards Zhending City and refuses to fight, the war will be simple. The reason why the rebel army is a rebel army is because there is no backup, once it defends a city, the Song army only needs to gather some soldiers from nearby state capitals, besiege the city for a few days, and the rebel army will be defeated.

………

The army marched mightily, Wu Song, who was following the army's grain and grass convoy, was still expressionless, he hoped that the rebel army could refuse to defend the city, but he also knew that it was impossible, the leader of the rebel army was the former top general of the Liao State, Yelu Da Geri, he would not do anything stupid.

Now Wu Song is most worried about two situations, one is whether the 30,000 Middle Route Army where he is located will be able to hold up and not be defeated when the time comes to fight with the chaotic army; The second is whether the strange soldiers from the north and south can come in time to outflank the rebellious army at noon tomorrow.

It's ridiculous to think about it, these are the basic requirements for any regular army not to worry, and Wu Song is actually worried now, afraid that those forbidden army ruffians will drop the chain.

………

At the same time, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and 2,000 Qingzhou soldiers and 1,000 Hebei militia also kept pace with the army along the path, plus the 2,000 Qingzhou soldiers from the headquarters who transported grain and grass in the middle route army, these thousands of people were Wu Song's hole cards for emergency response.

I hope there is no chance to play this hole card, otherwise once this hole card is used, it means that the Song army has failed, and a failure will hurt the vitality!

………

Along the way, the scouts of Wu Song Qingzhou completely replaced the role of the scout army of the forbidden army, pulling out dark piles around the army around the clock, catching spies of the chaotic army, and intercepting the transmission of information about the chaotic army. And the scouts of the forbidden army have only one function - pathfinding.

Is there a ditch ahead, is there an obstruction, is there anything to eat...... He was happy to pass on this kind of information to the army, and from time to time he caught a few enemy spies lying on the side of the road dying, and he also obtained a lot of information, and the "powerful" scouts of the forbidden army made Ye Liangchen and others even more proud.

————

The next morning, the army finally arrived at the area of Zhending City, and when it was still five miles away from Zhending City, it stopped majestically and stopped its formation.

The battle contract had already been delivered, and the rebel army really did not refuse, and when the Song army first appeared, they also went out of the city to prepare for the formation.

This is the most formal way of fighting in ancient times, the two armies intersect, the two sides face each other in formation, and then according to the rules of war, before the formal battle, the vanguard generals are in front of the battle to strengthen morale.

After all, it is a battle between large armies, not as good as rush warfare and surprise warfare, and it takes time for the two armies to mobilize in formation, which also forms this set of conventional "war etiquette".

It is said that there are no rules on the battlefield, but once the level of civilization is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, then in the time of war, it will also be unconsciously affected by civilization factors.

After the two armies were arrayed, the rebel army was the first to come out with a military general holding a pen and knife to provoke and scold the Song army, the war horses neighed, the war drums rumbled, like a mountain rain was coming, and for a time the Liao rebel army suppressed the Song army.

"Who's going to fight?"

Ye Liangchen originally wanted to fight against the vanguard of the rebellious army on the opposite side, but when he saw that the person opposite was too burly, he was faintly frightened in his heart, and someone next to him advised him that "the boss should not come out in person", so he borrowed the donkey from the slope and asked the generals on the left and right.

"Who's going to fight!"

These generals around him are all masters who are enjoying themselves in Bianjing, and they will do it with real swords and guns, and they are all instigated, until Ye Liangchen asked sharply for the second time, and only one of them came forward.

"The last general is willing to go, and he will definitely kill the thief!"

The man's expression was a little depressed, he was just too nervous to pull the war horse, and who knew that the war horse stepped forward...... But now that he is out of the ranks, he has to grit his teeth.

"Good! Command the drumming! See off General Zhang! Ye Liangchen raised his hand and ordered loudly.

………

Suddenly, the faces of the entourage generals beside Ye Liangchen turned black, and the general who went out to fight was even more covered with cold sweat.

Misspoken.

How can you say "send-off"? It should be called "cheering"!

It seems that this Young Marshal Ye is still too young, and he is as nervous as the generals when he goes to the battlefield for the first time!

"Order!"

The clay figure also has three points of earthiness, and the general who came out of the column seemed to be stimulated, and as soon as the words fell, his face turned ruthless, and he immediately rushed towards the generals of the chaotic army with a horse and a gun.

Knock knock knock......

The drums of war rushed to the sky, the shouts shook the ground, and there were many Song soldiers, and the momentum immediately overshadowed the chaotic army.

………

In ancient China, the habit of two armies fighting against military generals gradually disappeared after the barbarian Mongols destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, and since then, the later wars have been pure wars, and the era of many military generals shining in front of them in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has also ended.
