The next day, at the fourth watch!

The dark night sky was full of stars, constantly twinkling, and another meteor pierced the sky, dragging a long tail, like a broom, as if expelling the Khitan and recovering the heart of the sixteen states of Yanyun, even the heavens knew!

Zhao Gou gave an order, and everyone set off in a mighty manner, and everyone moved forward according to the route set by Zhao Gou. Before dawn, he galloped and marched, running faster than ever. Since Chenjiagu was some distance from Yanmen Pass, Lu Junyi and the others set off one step ahead and had already set off at the third watch.

The Song army went north, but the Liao army did not receive the news. Even if they did, they would not believe that the Song people would tear up the covenant and send troops to conquer it. Moreover, the entire Liao country was shrouded in a dark cloud, which could not be dispersed for a long time. It was only because the moment the Song army sent out its troops, the Jurchens had already attacked.

The Jurchens sent a large army to press the border, so that the Liao army was too busy to take care of itself, and in the face of the border between Liao and Jin, the war was raging. When Zhao Gou and the others sent out their troops, the Jurchens had already launched an attack, and they took a multi-faceted attack to divide the army in two.

The Jin soldiers set out from Liaoyang Mansion, captured Liaozhou one after another, and sent a large army to continue to attack Jinzhou, that is, to attack from the south to the north; Another army, sent troops from Huining Mansion in Shangjing, attacked from north to south, and was the first to attack Linhuang Mansion, and then smashed Huanglong.

Because the combat effectiveness of the Jin soldiers was far superior to that of the Liao army, the war of the Liao army in the western region was very tight, and Emperor Liao Tianzuo was too busy to take care of himself, and he did not expect the Song Dynasty to also send troops to attack, and his idea was that he really couldn't fight, so he packed up his baggage and fled directly to the Song Dynasty to seek refuge.

Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi didn't care about the tight war ahead, and still enjoyed himself, ignoring the soldiers who fought bloodily in front of him, as well as the people who were implicated in the war, only caring about his own pleasure and the matter of the throne. It's just that there are still some ministers in the DPRK who keep writing and reciting, so he has to send troops to reinforce.

The Jurchens attacked on a large scale, so that the Liao army had no intention of paying attention to the situation in the sixteen states of Yanyun. Moreover, many of the people of Liao were recruited into the army, rushed to the front line, and bravely killed the enemy. Although there were generals who could fight well, there was no marshal who sat in the rear to command the overall situation, so the army was defeated and retreated.

Zhao Gou took advantage of the panic in the Liao State to lead the army to regain the lost territory in one fell swoop.

"Dashuai, the last general has some doubts!" Gao Zhong frowned and looked at Zhao Gou, and wanted to shout the young master, but Zhao Gou said that he was in the army, and there was only a division between generals and commanders, and there was no other relationship, so he changed his name to 'big marshal'.

Zhao Gou was pleasantly surprised: "What do you have to say!" ”

Gao Zhong said in a deep voice: "General Lu, they led more than 10,000 people forward, although there are other brothers to help him, there is really no problem?" Although we have a lot of soldiers, but only the two of us can really fight, so if Huanzhou sends a large army, what should we do? ”

"What, you're scared?" Zhao Gou smiled and said, "Don't worry! As long as they arrive at the agreed time, don't fight hard with them one-on-one, and come directly to sneak attack, even if Guo Zhiquan knows about it, it is too late to bring troops here! ”

"As for General Lu, I can still trust it! After all, he has also fought on the battlefield, and he doesn't have to worry about facing the enemy at all! Now all we have to do is wait for the good news, and prevent the soldiers in Shuozhou City from ventilating the news! ”

"If there is a leak, the generals of Huanzhou must be on guard, so it will be a little troublesome to take the city. If they fight to the death, we are afraid that we will lose a thousand of our enemies, and we will lose eight hundred. After all, this place is full of lofty mountains, or rivers, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack! ”

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are located on the Taihang Mountains, where the climate is changeable. In spring, there is little rain and snow, but the wind and sand are very strong, and dry weather is prone to occur. At this time, the attack is bound to suffer heavy casualties, there is no water source, and there is no power to support it.

If it is summer, the rain is concentrated, the rainfall is heavy, and there are even bad weather such as hail; In winter, there are more strong winds, the climate is cold, and it is not easy to attack, only autumn is the most suitable to attack the sixteen states of Yanyun, especially Shuozhou, Huanzhou, Yingzhou, the three states are connected together, and the climate is not much different.

At this time, it was autumn time, and it was just right to attack, which was also the time set by Zhao Gou, and it was learned through exploration.

The front can be attacked, and the retreat can be defended!

Therefore, Zhao Gou had to take these three states as soon as possible to use them as his backing. If these three cities are not captured, then the soldiers will have to spend time outside, and the autumn is still better, if it is winter, the soldiers will freeze to death will be countless, how can there be any combat effectiveness at all.

An army that has lost its combat effectiveness, even if you are ten times more numerous than the enemy, is unlikely to be defeated, or even wiped out!

Lu Junyi is a general, Lin Chong, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Niu Gao, Wang Gui, Yang Yi and others are deputy generals and pioneers, and they are all from the same family, except for Niu Gao and Yang Yizhong. Therefore, they all understood that the task was arduous, so they discussed while marching, which was also a time saver.

"General, Shuozhou City is strong, and there is a garrison, and he is facing Chenjiagu. According to the information obtained by the marshal, there were more than 8,000 troops in the garrison here. And, we're the main attackers, they're defensive, they're dominant! ”

Lu Junyi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "What General Lin said is very true, the time and place are favorable, they all occupy it, and we have nothing. For the climate here, we people living in the north can't stand it, let alone soldiers and others living in the south! ”

"Shuozhou is surrounded by mountains on the west, south and north sides, the altitude is higher, forming a natural barrier, there is no way to attack at all, only the central and eastern parts are Pingchuan, this is the fastest place to attack, and the city gate is also established in the central and eastern parts; The eastern city gate is also connected to the west gate of Huanzhou City, if you want to win it in one fell swoop, you must attack the central city gate with all your might! ”

"Although the central and eastern parts of the country are Pingchuan, the overall terrain is sloping from west to east, and the place where we attack is from the bottom up. It can also be said that as long as we don't move much, then it is very convenient to find us and wait, if we attack during the day, there is no chance of winning! ”

"As the marshal said, the rivers are all in the city, and we have less water outside. If there is a long war and there is no water source, then there will be no food, and there is no chance of victory. So, we have to do it quickly, and we must not give them any gaps! ”

Yue Fei then asked, "Since that's the case, then how should we attack?" ”

"Judging by the current situation, we can only imitate the previous way of fighting of the marshal!" Lu Junyi suddenly remembered that Zhao Gou led the army to attack the city of the Liangshan Army earlier, as well as the battle of Fang Lashi, and replied loudly: "Sneak attack!" ”
