On the Sorghum River, the white mist slowly rippled.

Gaoliang River, originally the old road of Yongding River, about after the Eastern Han Dynasty, the course of Yongding River moved south, and the original river channel became Gaoliang River. The Gaoliang River is also the last river barrier outside Yanjing City.

One hundred and forty years ago, the Liao and Song dynasties fought here, and the famous Liao general Yelu Xiuge led an army of 100,000 to reinforce the Liao army besieged by the Song army in Yanjing, Liao, and fought with the Song army at the Gaoliang River. Yelu Huge and Yelu Hu divided their troops into two wings and defeated the Song army, and Song Taizong fled south in a donkey cart.

One hundred and forty years later, the Song army once again approached the Gaoliang River.

Zhao Hao's army was unexpectedly fast, and he didn't seem to want to stay longer in Zhuozhou. It's not that Zhao Hao is in a hurry to make contributions, but he knows that he needs to compete with Zhao Ji for time. Zhang Di will not go back for a long time to restore his life, the news here will reach Bianliang sooner or later, and what awaits Zhao Hao will be the thunderous wrath of Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, and he must capture the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun before the relationship with Zhao Ji is out of control.

He forcibly detained Zhang Di and more than 100 personal officials, strictly guarded by Jinyi guards, and led the army to the north, and the troops were directed at Yanjing.

Yang Weizhong, who stayed in Zhuozhou, was also very busy, desperately urging the follow-up supplies to keep up, repairing the carts in Zhuozhou City, recruiting people, and a team of soldiers were also pulled out one after another, to follow the brigade to establish a supply line.

Just conquered Zhuozhou, hurriedly sent troops, it was indeed a little anxious, although the Northern Expeditionary Army was busy, but the morale was high, and it was also the only thing that the Great Song Dynasty military horses had seen in recent years.

In the entire Great Song Dynasty, who can be as fearless as Gongzi and rush to the front? Who can be as sharp as Gongzi, bent on recovering the sixteen states of Youyun and expanding the territory?

What's more, who can bring such a great victory like Childe? Even though it was the battle of the Western Xia that year, it seemed to be a victory, but it was just a disastrous victory, and General Liu Fa's entire army was annihilated, which was a shame in the battle of Western Xia. The reason why the Tangut people were defeated was not completely defeated on the battlefield, but most importantly, they were defeated on the national strength, and the financial, material and human resources of the Tangut people were no longer able to continue to support the war. On the other hand, the battle of Baigou River and the battle of Zhuozhou, this was a happy victory, only to kill the Liao people to throw away their armor and dare not look south.

And most importantly, Childe is not only a god of war, but also a god, what is more confident than a god in this world, and more worshiped from the bottom of my heart?

A good man, when galloping on the battlefield, across the world, this time the national fortune of the Liao people has declined, and the decline is in front of you, it is the time for the man to glorify his ancestors and make contributions!

Rising from Zhuozhou, I only saw the banner of the elite cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty looking at each other, like a dragon and like a dragon, rolling up smoke and dust in the sky.

After half a month's march, the Northern Expeditionary Army finally reached the south bank of the Gaoliang River, stopped its advance, and camped on the south bank.

On the north shore, the Liao people are ready for battle.

……

At dusk, Zhao Hao led the horse on the north bank of the Gaoliang River under the support of the generals such as Seed Master Dao, Seed Master Zhong, Wang Yu, Yang Keshi and other generals, looking at the river and being distracted.

The red light of the sunset peeks out through the gaps in the clouds, cascading clouds. Like a golden print, the glow sprinkles bits and pieces of fine gold scales on the surface of the river, and the top and bottom are shining, which is very spectacular.

Looking at the sunset on the first line of Yunshui, Zhao Hao frowned slightly, thoughtful.

One hundred and forty years ago, that war, as an important turning point in the relationship between Liao and Song, directly caused the successive defeats of the Song Dynasty in the future, until the alliance of Lanyuan, after which the Song was completely at a disadvantage to Liao, and the recovery of the sixteen states of Youyun also became a utopia.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty soldiers are back, it will be a shame for a hundred years!

He slowly raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the other side.

On the other side of the river, there is a dense Liao army water village and company camp, stretching up to ten miles long, and there are Liao boats shuttling and patrolling on the river from time to time.

On this side of the river, all the fishing boats have already been swept away by the Liao, although it is the dry season, but the shallowest part of the river is more than one person deep, and if you want to cross the river, you must make boats.

In the Lingxiao Pavilion, there are already warships that can be exchanged, and it is not difficult to cross the Gaoliang River. The difficulty is how to cross the river and approach the Liao army water village unconsciously.

On the river, the boats of the Liao army shuttled back and forth, patrolling everywhere, and it was impossible to cross the river without being detected by the Liao army. Once Zhao Hao's army began to cross the river, the enemy army would inevitably be covered with strong bows and crossbows on the other side of the river, and I am afraid that before they could get close to the case, they would be damaged by the crossbows.

Yanjing is the Nanjing of the Liao people, and the loss of Yanjing means that the entire Nanjing Road will be lost, and the six states of Yanjing will naturally fall into the hands of the Song people. There are only three capitals left in the five capitals of the Liao people, how can they give up this land of Yanjing?

Therefore, in addition to Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan who led the remnants of the army to continue to sit in the town, Yelu Yanxi transferred 20,000 soldiers and horses from Xijing Road to aid Yanjing, plus the original soldiers and horses in Yanjing, there were 60,000 troops, including 10,000 cavalry alone.

With 50,000 foot soldiers and more than 10,000 elite cavalry, there is not much disadvantage against the army of 100,000 foot soldiers of the Shang Song people. If it was in the past, according to Yelu Dashi's character, I am afraid that he would have lined up in a large formation on the south bank of the Gaoliang River and had a hard battle with the Song people.

It's just that the recent successive defeats in battles are related to the national fortunes of the Liao people, so Yelu Dashi, who has always been conceited, has to be cautious and concentrate on defense with patience.

Zhao Hao slowly turned his head and looked at Wu Yong behind him, revealing a look of asking for advice.

Wu Yong's IQ of 93 is much worse than Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Liu Bowen and other half-immortal-level strategists, but he can be regarded as the first think tank of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and there should always be a way.

Otherwise, could it be that my 100,000 Northern Expeditionary army is so imposing that it can't be stopped by a river?

Wu frowned, shook his head, and asked, "Can you measure the depth of the river?" How wide is the river? ”

Fang Baihua on the side replied: "In the middle of the river, the shallow is four or five feet, and the depth is seven or eight feet. The widest part of the river is more than 20 zhang, and the narrowest part is only about 10 zhang. ”

In addition to guarding Zhao Hao, Jinyiwei is more responsible for detecting the enemy, and the water situation of the Gaoliang River, Jinyiwei has already investigated it clearly ten days ago.

Wu Yong thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "What if you wade across the river at night and attack the enemy camp?" ”

Zhao Hao looked stunned for a moment, revealing an incredible look, looked at the planter, and asked, "Wading across the river?" ”

Five feet to seven feet, shallow to the chest, deep to the top, plus this cold winter season, at night the temperature is low to below zero, if you are soaked in the ice-like river water for half an hour, you will directly want to die, there is no way to fight, directly surrender and let the Liao army help burn the fire to warm up.

Wu Yong was not moved by Zhao Hao's disappointed look, pointed to the north direction, and said with a faint smile: "The width of this river is only twenty zhang, the narrowest part is only ten zhang, the riverbed is from shallow to deep, and the deepest part is only seven feet. And the death battalion then took the opportunity to set fire to the enemy's water village, the enemy army will be chaotic, so the army will cross the river in turn, the front army will set up a defensive array, and the rear army will camp in the village, even if the enemy in Yanjing City will pour out. ”

"Brilliant plan, really good plan!" The planter on the side couldn't help but admire, "The ten-zhang riverbed, only 10,000 military horses need to be dispatched, and it can be filled in the middle of the night, which is a great plan." ”

Zhao Hao heard what the seed master said, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, the IQ of 93 was really used at the critical moment.

The seed master said worriedly: "This plan is very good, the most worrying thing is probably the Liao people's distant stop scout, once it is discovered, the previous efforts will be wasted!" ”

The Liao people are far away, all of them are masters of one in a hundred, skilled in bows and horses, extremely strong in combat effectiveness, and the range of activities is also very wide, with the direction of Yanjing as the center, the boundary of forty or fifty miles along the Gaoliang River, all of which are within the scope of the reconnaissance of the remote blocker. It is almost impossible to fill the river with a negative stone under the nose of the distant barricade without being detected. If the place where the river is filled is too far away, it will not have the effect of a surprise attack.

Zhao Hao thought for a while, with a resolute look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "This is easy, where the river is narrow, it must be upstream." Yang Zaixing can be asked to select a cavalry detachment to hunt and kill the Liao people's Yuanjiao in the lower reaches. Kill him for a few nights first, attract all the attention of the Liao people's distant barricades to the downstream boundary, and then fill the river upstream, which may be successful. ”

Lao Tzu has nothing else, but capable people with more than 75 troops can organize a detachment, as long as they are gathered together, it should be as easy as a cat catching a mouse to deal with the kind of remote barricades that are scattered and patrolling everywhere.

The seed master nodded and said, "According to the child's opinion!" ”

……

The river is rolling, the north wind is howling, and the land of Youyan in the night is particularly cold.

In the big tent of the Liao Army, the lights were bright, and the Liao Army's chief general, Po Likuo, sat in front of the desk in the middle, listening to the news from the small colonel's report.

Sitting next to him was the deputy general Yelu Aguzhe, who was also listening attentively to the news reported by the little school.

Po Likuo is Yelu Dashi's henchman, and Yelu Aguzhe is Xiao Gan's favorite general, and each of them sent a henchman to guard the north bank, in order to control each other and avoid chaos.

The battle of Zhuozhou, the inexplicable appearance of the well, so that Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi still have palpitations, it is best to be able to block the military horses of the Song people in the south of the Gaoliang River, otherwise once the soldiers come to the city, I don't know what will happen, so the two attach great importance to the defense of the Gaoliang River.

The southerners are afraid of the cold, and if they can support the arrival of ice and snow, I am afraid that the southerners will retreat without a fight and obediently return to Zhuozhou.

After the little colonel came out of the account, Yelu Agu Zhe saw that Po Likuo looked worried, and couldn't help but laugh jokingly: "Why is the general worried. The boats on both sides of the river were swept away by us, and the river is five feet shallow and seven feet deep. Even if the southerners have an army of 100,000, we just need to stick to the water village, and wait for the wind and snow together, and the southerners will retreat by themselves! ”

Po Likuo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It is a matter of national fortune, and you can't underestimate the enemy." I would like to ask Dashi Linya to send a few more teams to stop from afar, and increase the patrol on the north bank to prevent the Song people from secretly crossing the river. ”

Yelu Aguzhe rolled his eyelids, showed a disapproving look, and did not speak.
