Chapter 414: Rush Vanguard
In the scorching summer, the land of the Hebei Plain is full of green, except for the trees and flowers, there are knee-high wheat seedlings in the fields.
Soon to enter June, when it is the season of wheat harvest, last year the Liao people a tailwind fire, so that the people of Hebei Zhulu suffered heavy losses, fortunately, there are Qingzhou military officials to take the lead, the Song Dynasty rich businessmen have raised donations, coupled with the relief of the imperial court, the people of Hebei finally have sufficient winter rations, and wheat seeds.
This time, Hebei was suddenly plagued by the chaotic army, and the people were naturally miserable, and this was the life of the border people, and they were satisfied with two out of ten years.
However, although the rebel army burned and looted everywhere in Hebei before, they did not have the slightest damage to the wheat in the field from beginning to end.
It's like protecting your own stuff.
In fact, these wheat seedlings in the land of Hebei are of great significance to the rebel army, Hebei has been a major grain-producing province in China since ancient times, and the wheat of the two provinces between the two provinces of Zhendingfu is enough for the rebel army to eat for more than a year.
In this way, they will really have the confidence to fight a war of attrition with the Song army.
If the Song army can't quell the chaos before the wheat is ripe, then even if the rebel army can't defeat Taiyuan Mansion, the wheat at the boundary between the two provinces between the Zhending River will be enough for the rebel army to double its military strength.
The Liao State in the north was beaten by the Jin State, and most of the land north of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun has been lost, and the Jin people have just jumped from the barbarian tribe to the feudal system, although Wanyan Aguda is a generation of geniuses, but his people are extremely barbaric, every time they seize a piece of Liao land, they will inevitably slaughter and bully the people of Liao, so many Liao refugees have fled to the rebels.
The strength of the rebel army has now expanded to the upper limit, from the original barely 30,000 people, and now it has expanded to more than 60,000, and there are still many Liao refugees who want to join the rebel army, but only because of the lack of food and grass has limited the size of their army.
A month, there is still a month before the wheat is ripe, and the Song army must fight quickly!
It's the same for the rebellious army, there is only one month, they have to entangle the heavy army to conquer Taiyuan Mansion, so that not only can they get a large amount of grain and grass, but after harvesting the wheat, their strength can be expanded to 100,000 troops!
————
After a few days, the integration and establishment of the 50,000-strong army was completed, all of which were strong troops drawn from all over the place, although the soldiers were a little unfamiliar with each other, but there was no complicated relationship in the original barracks, which was just conducive to Wu Song's re-organization and integration. Wu Song has finished integrating the soldiers here, and Yelu Dageli over there has already personally led an army of 60,000 to approach Taiyuan Mansion!
After getting this battle report, Wu Song couldn't help but squint his eyes, Yelu Dagri poured out of the nest this time, and the two mansions between the Zhending River in the rear must be empty, and it will be easy to be broken once it is attacked by a sneak attack, but Wu Song also knows that at this time, the army is pressing the city, if the troops are divided to attack the two cities in the rear of the rebel army, then the Taiyuan Mansion will be lost, maybe the sneak attack will not be effective at that time, and the rebel army will return to kill and accompany the lady to fold the army again!
Yelu Dagri is worthy of being one of the top coaches of the Liao State in the past, no wonder he was able to compete with the Jin people at that time, and it is difficult for anyone to compare with the courage of the two cities alone...... It's a pity that there is a Xiao Fengxian who is keen on civil strife and a monarch who is even more mediocre than the Song Emperor, otherwise the Jin people would not be so unscrupulous to crush the Liao State now
What's even more regrettable is that the opponent Yelu Da Geli met in the Song Realm this time was Wu Song.
Calm as Wu Song, he will never fall for Yelu Dagri!
When the chaotic army was ten miles away from Taiyuan City, Wu Song gave an order, and 50,000 Song troops went out of the city to line up, when the formation was formed, the soldiers' footsteps were like dense drumbeats, and every time the personnel gathered would raise a burst of dust, after the soldiers in each area were ready to take place, the cavalry general confirmed loudly, that is, a neat and earth-shattering cry of countless soldiers.
"Shieldmen in position!"
"Kill!!"
"Spearmen in position!"
"Kill!!"
"The cavalry is in position!"
"Kill!!"
……
Wu Song and Hua Rong, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and other fierce generals rode horses and stood in the Chinese army, all with cold expressions, not angry and arrogant; On the city wall behind him, Zhu Wu shook his feather fan and watched the army under the city arrange according to his own formation, and nodded slightly excitedly.
The Song army is domineering and mighty, and the rebel army on the opposite side is also in full swing, and the troops of the chaotic army are much richer this time, and the cavalry, infantry, archers, and all branches of the army are also very perfect.
The noisy array soon ended, and the two armies officially faced each other, and the strength of the two sides was almost the same, with 60,000 chaotic troops and 50,000 Song troops...... And all kinds of dense blades that glow with cold light!
Silence, silence.
In the open space under the city of more than 100,000 people, there was a moment of silence, and there was no sound except for the sound of a few cuckoos in the distance.
Not even the wind.
And the cuckoo's voice, after passing through the open space between the two armies, became trembling.
The aura of murder is pervasive.
Wu Song had already seen Yelu Da Geli in front of the Chinese army opposite, the man was not tall, riding on a horse with a belly, if it weren't for the shining armor, his figure would be no different from an ordinary Khitan middle-aged uncle.
Yelu Dagli was also staring at Wu Song, he recognized Wu Song at a glance, he already recognized Wu Song, except that he was impressed by Wu Song's bravery in the last battle, it was because Wu Song was too easy to recognize, because Wu Song never wore a helmet on the battlefield.
It is the most typical of adult Song men's hair coiled into a knot on the top of the head, with a simple metal crown tied on it, a few long strands of hair scattered on the eyebrows, and a dark red cloth strip tied on the forehead - that is the unique logo of the Song army.
From a distance, Yelu Dagri felt that Wu Song had an extremely uncomfortable momentum on his body, as if he was like a god of war, which made him unhappy and jealous, when he was fighting against Yan Agu, he didn't feel this way, it seemed to be ...... Wu Song in the distance and the generals beside him disappeared into the shadows.
"Wellcome!"
Frowning fiercely, sweeping away a trace of negativity in his heart, Yelu Dagri shouted to a tall general beside him, his voice low and merciless.
"Yes!"
The general named Weikang answered, and then carried a long-handled mace, rode forward and called for battle.
The war has officially begun!
"The generals of the Wuna Song Army, who will be the first to send them to death?"
Weikang scolded, and his voice was like a flood of bells, resounding through the three armies, but it was a good voice!
As soon as Wu Song heard such a provocation, the first person to jump out was Lu Zhishen, only to see him glaring angrily, waving a water mill Zen staff and about to ask Wu Song for battle.
The general on the opposite side was far from Lu Zhishen's opponent, Wu Song was about to nod, but at this time, there was a sharp horse on the left side that rushed to Wu Song and was about to fight.
"Use a knife to kill chickens, Brother Lu don't make a move, watch the little brother go and get his head!"
In front of him, he is eight feet tall, with a sturdy body, wearing a bright silver armor, wearing a leopard helmet, riding a red horse, holding a long-handled gold dipping axe, and holding a good general!
Anyway, who is this person, it is the former Daimyo Mansion Left Behind Division Zhengpai to govern the general, named Suo Chao, called "Urgent Pioneer", this time Wu Song recruited elite soldiers from all walks of life, and the elite soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion were brought by him.
When Yang Zhi was in the Daimyo Mansion before, he had a competition with this person, whether it was bow and horse or foot combat, the force was comparable, so he became a friend, this time it was Yang Zhi who introduced him, and Wu Song left him to be a vanguard general in front of the battle.
"Good! Please ask General Suo to fight! ”
Wu Song didn't think about it, and immediately agreed to let Suo Chao go to the battle, the general on the opposite side really didn't need Lu Zhishen to take action personally, since Suo Chao had Yang Zhi's general force, he wouldn't disappoint.
If Suo Chao performs well, he can be taken under the Qingzhou Army.
…………
In fact, if Wu Zhi is here, I am afraid that it will be dark again, because this Suo Chao is also one of the thirty-six Tiangang of the original Liangshan, ranked nineteenth, and is a sky star, and among the eight hussar generals in the same column as Hua Rong Yang Zhi, he is a fierce general!
