Indeed, this strategy is too conservative. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Lu Fei found a place in the scribbled paper and deduced that this strategy could not pose any threat to the Liao army.

First of all, the main cavalry of Yang Yanzhao's department was defeated by the Liao army in the field, and it was impossible to win the battle after chasing it; It can only rely on the fortifications of the Zhuozhou fortress and the 35,000 elite infantry of the Huyanzan Department to compete around the vicinity of Zhuozhou City. It is impossible to win the attack, and the possibility of a big defeat is very small...... Standing where you can't win.

The Liao army could not be threatened by the front, and if Zhang Jiang attacked, the threat would be even greater.

Lu Fei stood up and paced back and forth in front of the table, he no longer had the heart to hide the tension and pressure at this time, and muttered: "I think that the purpose of the Liao army is not for a decisive battle, and there may be other trap variables, but if we are too restrained, we will fall into an extremely passive situation." ”

Lu Fei suddenly stood still and looked at the picture on the wall. At this time, the four cities on the first line of the Tang Army were spread out along the east and west; Bazhou is the base camp located on the south bank of the Yellow River, the closest to Deyang County. The deployment of troops that can be used for field mobilization: Xincheng and Jinzhou in the east are more than 50,000 infantry cavalry of the Jiannan Army and the Southwest Army; Zhuozhou and Deyang in the west are closer, and each has 35,000 infantry of the forbidden army; There are 20,000 infantry in Bazhou...... The main force of cavalry is in Deyang, and nearly 10,000 cavalry of Zhangjiang Tiger Army are in Bazhou.

After a while, Lu Fei said: "Order, Yang Yanzhao and Tie Hammer led the cavalry to reinforce Zhuozhou, and Cao Keming left 20,000 cavalry in Deyang; Deyang and Bazhou each left 5,000 infantry elites to assist in defending the city, and the remaining more than 40,000 people marched north and south to the Yellow River, and merged as soon as possible. Zhang Jiangbu was immediately transferred to Deyang, rested for a day, and attacked according to the established strategy! ”

Lu Fei paused and said: "The cavalry of the forbidden army has two horses, Cao Keming's department does not need to have two horses for a long-distance attack, and the excess war horses are allocated to the Deyang infantry, and the Deyang infantry will march south on horseback, and quickly gather with the infantry going north from Bazhou!" Then 45,000 people returned to Deyang together, and then gathered from Deyang to Zhuozhou! ”

Cao Bin said: "The emperor's intention is to gather an army in Zhuozhou to fight a decisive battle with the Liao army?" ”

Lu Fei said in a deep voice: "The decisive battle is not easy, but once our army gathers a large army in Zhuozhou, it can pose a threat to the Liao army." ”

There was a lot of talking.

Lu Fei calmed down...... This is a very subtle psychological warfare. When you are not sure what the other party wants to do, you will feel the risk in your heart if you make an active offensive and defensive deployment.

Cao Bin and Kou Zhun looked at Lu Fei and were silent for a long time.

Lu Fei looked back left and right, his eyes were very bright because of emotion: "If you are passive in every game, you will suffer a loss overall." As long as you have strength and confidence, sometimes you have to fight! I want to see what the Liao army can do?! ”

At this time, when Lu Fei looked out of the door, he was suddenly dazzled by the sunlight reflected in the snow, but the two halls outside and the room looked a little bleak.

The atmosphere froze together like quiet snow.

Lu Fei is the emperor, but Cao Bin didn't care about his usual respect at this time, and asked again: "Has the emperor decreed?" ”

Lu Fei looked at him and nodded slightly.

Cao Bin immediately said to an official next to him: "Write a military order." ”

This kind of military order directly issued to the general, Cao Bin used the military government camp, and then sent it to Lu Fei. Lu Fei took a deep breath, lifted the brush on the inkstone and dipped it, and carefully wrote "quasi-play" on several military orders.

I don't think I've ever written a few words so seriously in my life!

After Lu Fei signed the military order, he wrote a letter in his own hand, informing General Zhulu of the detailed strategy.

…… Outside the city of Zhuozhou, the snow was filled with gunsmoke, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the sound of cannons rumbled. The Liao army attacked from all sides, and the Tang army forbidden army was also counterattacking the fortress occupied by the Liao army, and the war did not stop for a moment.

The fort was besieged by heavy troops and siege weapons on both sides, and no one could hold it, and it was only a matter of time before it was captured. The speed of Huyanzan's attacks was slow, and the periphery could no longer support the general defense line under the tug-of-war!

Huyanzan stood on the tower for an unknown amount of time, looking to the east, and he was just looking for reinforcements. His eyes were bloodshot, his lips were blackened by the cold air, and his left hand gripped the hilt of his sword.

There was a military general below who scolded anxiously: "How far is Deyang from Zhuozhou?" Even if they climb, they should have climbed over, why haven't they come on horseback yet! ”

The generals can complain, but Huyanzan can't, he stands there with a cold face. I have a plan in my heart: I really can't hold on, and there will be no danger if I withdraw all of them into Zhuozhou City. Tens of thousands of people defend the city, and the Liao army wants to capture Zhuozhou City, which is not something that can be done in ten days and a half months! But in this way, his tens of thousands of people will play a small role in this war, and as a general who is an important part of the battle, Huyanzan is absolutely unwilling to be marginalized.

…… To the east, the four gates of Deyang County were opened, and a large number of troops on horseback were dispatched from all directions. The long cavalry of the north and west gates converged on the west road, forming a mighty crowd of men and horses, and the snow was pitch black.

The other two horseback infantry marched straight south, the land and rivers had long been frozen, and even the scattered villages were hidden by snow. The army formed more than a dozen columns, and a large area rode south.

So many people marched together, but it seemed a little lonely, probably because there were no people except the army. In this season, in this situation, people don't just go out.

…… To the south, in Bazhou, where the palace camp was located, a neat line of infantry crossed the Yellow River from the ice and snow and marched north. The sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard in the lower reaches of the river, and Zhangjiang's cavalry was also moving north.

The huge white color of the snow makes a lot of things less visible. The emperor standing on the tower of the city is no longer so conspicuous. Lu Fei was wearing a fur coat given by the eunuch Wang Fang, and stood there for an unknown amount of time.

Wang Fang said cautiously beside him: "Although the sky is clear, when the snow is clear, it is colder than the snow. ”

"yes." Lu Fei responded casually. The ancients relied on experience, but he immediately understood the reason, snow evaporates from solid to water vapor in the sun, and it has to absorb heat, so the temperature is lower.

Wang Fang said softly again: "The emperor can rest the dragon body." ”

Lu Fei didn't say a word, still watching the troops from near and far. Those people looked a little special from a distance, all of them were carrying large packages of quilts, and no matter how light they traveled in this weather, they couldn't ignore keeping warm.

At this moment, he was just standing, but his heart was crumbling tighter than a bowstring!

It's not like you don't have to risk it after having a lot...... Because you are reluctant to bet, you will always be passive and can't turn over!

But Lu Fei can make such a big bet alone, and his power has reached a certain height, otherwise even the emperor would not have the final say. In many times, dynasties have always adopted a passive and conservative strategy, that is, most people are not so bold that no one can make big bets.

"Rumbling ......" The sound of horses' hooves in the distance was like a muffled thunder from the sky. But when Lu Fei looked up, the blue sky was cloudless, even the wind was very small, and the sky and the earth were peaceful.

Lu Fei pondered the turmoil between heaven and earth repeatedly, and the odds of winning the heart path were still not small. It's just too important and too stressful, so the result is not revealed for a moment, and you will be uneasy for a moment!

This kind of day is really difficult, and when it passes, I will definitely breathe a sigh of relief.

The Battle of Hedong and the Bianjing Mutiny...... After many such experiences, Lu Fei would think that he had finally settled down and would never have to go through such hardships in the future; Unexpectedly, it will be repeated every time.

But if you can get through it this time, there shouldn't be so much pressure anymore? Except for Liao, it seems that no one can threaten themselves anymore.

...

"Ah......" In the messy Zhuozhou earthen fort, the Tang army general let out a desperate roar, surrounded by corpses and screaming wounded soldiers, several Liao army Xi soldiers were pressing a Tang sergeant with a spear and stabbing fiercely, one of the Xi soldiers waved the iron bone and smashed it on the soldier's helmet, and sparks splashed.

The flag of the township army fell to the ground and was trampled back and forth by the boots.

The rebels were forced between the houses in the middle, some fighting and some with crossbows. The door of the fort was opened, and the cavalry of the Liao army rushed in frantically, the iron bones and spears in the hands of those cavalrymen were like sticks in the hands of black and white impermanence, and death and despair were rapidly approaching with the horses' hooves!

A few of the rebels fled into the house of the capital, and they hurriedly closed the door and pressed their backs against the wooden door panel. The sound of a person's teeth "clucking" can be heard clearly, and he said with a crying voice: "I know that the imperial grain is not eaten for nothing......

It's a good thing to hide here, the whole fortress is so big, there's nowhere to hide.

Dutou took out a delicate silk embroidered purse from his bosom, glanced at the rebels, and said nothing. He quickly blew a piece of paper on the table a few times, and then hurriedly folded it together despite the wet handwriting, and put the suicide note in his purse. He thought for a moment, then pulled out another piece of gold and put it in his purse, and then carefully tucked it into the lining bag.

When he had done all this, he grabbed the scabbard from the table, went to the door, drew his sword, and strode away, staring at the door. He turned around and said, "Don't be afraid, you will definitely die, and each person will kill a cushion!" ”

The door panel didn't move for a long time, and Du Tou picked up a pair of helmets on the ground, put them on the head of a soldier's cloak, and admonished: "Don't hide, our armor is good, the enemy will attack me too, and if you cut him, it counts!" ”

But after a long time, there was no movement, and even the sound of horses' hooves and shouts outside was quiet.

Du Tou cautiously opened the door panel and looked out, and saw that the ground was full of corpses and moaning wounded soldiers, where were the enemy soldiers? The gate on the opposite side was open empty.

"The Liao army ran away?" A soldier said in a trembling voice.

Dutou immediately walked out of the door, and ran up the earthen wall with his sword on the rammed steps, and his vision suddenly widened. Nearby, the Liao army dropped many catapults, ladders, and ladders, and retreated like a tide, and a large area of men and horses on the snowfield were surging to the north.

At the end of the line of sight, there is a black line faintly on the horizon!

Du Tou finally understood, and excitedly turned around and shouted, "Reinforcements are coming!" ”

The remaining sporadic soldiers and wounded shouted and cheered hoarsely, and some even cried. A soldier slurred his words and said, "I am going back to marry the widow at the entrance of the village, and I shouldn't have scolded her before leaving......"

…… Iron Hammer rode a horse and gallged in a big way, and Yang Yanzhao, who was in front of him, covered his eyebrows with his palm, blocking the slightly westerly sunlight in the sky, and squinted into the distance.

Behind them, flags fluttered like clouds, and large groups of horses let out a "rumbling ......" roar.

Yang Yanzhao looked at it and said, "The Liao army withdrew the siege first, and then gathered the horse team to come up to stop us." ”

Tie Hammer immediately said happily: "General Yang led the brigade to Zhuozhou from the south, and we led the troops to meet the Liao army!" ”

Yang Yanzhao said: "Very good! After General Tie broke through the horse team on the side of the Liao army, he must not fall in love with the battle, and quickly approached Zhuozhou and the general in order to respond. Beware of being besieged! ”

Tie Hammer clenched his fists on the horse and said: "Good blackmail!" ”

He immediately raised his palm, turned his head and shouted, "Come along!" ”

The Tang army's horses gradually began to diverge like a flood diverting, and the front army's heavy cavalry ran to the northwest. When the two armies were separated, the iron-beaten men and horses gradually slowed down again, forming three groups of cavalry, the front of which was like a "pinzi" and like a cluster of arrows.

The horses ran again, and the knight rose and fell on the horse's back, and the horse's hooves gradually raised the snowflakes on the ground, and the white snowflakes were like splashes, and the roar of the iron hooves was like thunder.

In the distance in front of him, a large number of cavalry of the Liao army rushed away, and the wide horizontal plane formed a troop advantage over the iron hammer department, and the momentum was very turbulent!

Iron Hammer was not afraid at all, he slapped the strong buttocks of the war horse, raised the iron spear and began to accelerate. The army followed, the whole herd of horses ran faster and faster, a large number of people and horses gathered together, and this speed could not be stopped!

The cavalry on both sides gradually approached, and seemed to be slow but fast. Iron Hammer's ears were covered with fur and chain mail, but he also heard the wind whistling in his ears. Things on the ground were getting more and more blurry, and only the cavalry soldiers on both sides seemed to be still.

"Bang Bang Bang ......" There was a dense string sound like fried beans in the wind, and when Tie Hammer looked up, the black spots in the air quickly changed from small to large. There was a bang, and even his shoulder was visibly knocked out, but the cluster of arrows was immediately bounced off by the plate armor.

"Kill! Kill! Iron Hammer roared unscrupulously.

The cavalry of the Tang Army suddenly accelerated, and the three iron cavalry galloped away like arrows off the string! At this time, the speed made Tie Hammer excited, the blood veins all over his body were surging, his eyes were engrossed, such stimulation was simply a pleasure, he felt that he was no longer a mortal, but infinite power!

"Whew!" The iron hammer made up for the front approaching horseman, and the heavy gun in his hand was straight away. There was a loud bang, and the iron gun pierced through the torso of a rider like a piece of tofu! The cavalry immediately fell from his horse, and even the mount of the Liao soldier behind him fell to his knees with a "hiss". The mist of blood splashing in the air soon followed.

In an instant, a group of iron spears flew out of the air. The iron spear was simply indestructible by virtue of its weight and the speed of the horse's charge, and the Liao army could not stop it with a shield. For a while, a group of enemy soldiers in the center fell off their horses, and people turned on their backs and screamed, as if the enemy soldiers rushed over and stepped on a trap!

"Huo ......" The former officers and soldiers of the Tang Army roared in unison, and the momentum immediately grew, and the roar shook the heavens and the earth. The morale of the soldiers was high and they rushed forward bravely.

The iron hammer changed the other iron spear from the left hand to the right hand, and the left hand pulled out another branch from the back! Before he had time to throw again, he had already rushed into the Liao army's horses, and stabbed the horse on the right side with a shot. There was a violent metal crash, and the violent collision made everyone tremble when they heard it!

As soon as the iron hammer skillfully loosened the handle, the iron spear had entered the torso of the Liao cavalry, and the extreme speed of the two horsemen facing each other, coupled with the huge arm strength of the iron hammer to attack forward, the knight on the Liao army's war horse was very exaggerated, and even the people flew out in the air with guns!

"Bell!" A moment later, a dazzling spark flickered, and a severed iron sword flew into the air.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Liao army had not had time to outflank the iron hammer department from the left and right flanks with the frontal width, and the iron hammer had already led the crowd to break straight into the Liao army's horse herd!

The sound of killing on the battle array shook the sky, and weapons danced wildly. Horses were rushing like a turbulent flood, arrows were flying in the air, and sharp pikes were scurrying rapidly, and people in the herd were constantly falling off their horses, and the scene was very terrifying. The shouts are even more earth-shattering, and in the rushing cavalry battle, there are no cowardly people, and if you stop, you will die! Everyone was forced to become an indomitable warrior.

Although the Liao army came to block the men and horses, the depth was not enough, and they were quickly penetrated from the middle by the iron hammer department. The Liao army mounted and besieged from the left and right flanks, and pursued behind, and the bows and arrows of the two armies "crackled" and flew wildly.

Iron Hammer rushed straight into the fortress group, and the cavalry of the Tang Army entered the fortified area one after another. The Liao army chased after them, and the crossbows on the earthen walls of the fortress had a longer range than those of the cavalry, and there were even arm-thick ballistas flying in the air! The Liao cavalry suffered a great loss when they approached the fortress, and it was difficult to spread between the fortress groups, so the pursuit was blocked.

At this time, Yang Yanzhao's troops also responded from the left flank in the south, and the Liao army was unable to prevent the Tang cavalry from converging with the Zhuozhou army.

Outside the city of Zhuozhou, at this time, the foot and horse gathered, there are people and horses everywhere, on the field, the city tower and the fortress are faintly visible, the army in formation, the horsemen gathered in all directions make this place like a huge military camp.

Tie Hammer saw Yang Yanzhao's huge square handsome flag, and rode over, at this time his clothes and armor were covered with bloodstains, and he was big, and he was very terrifying to ride on a horse. When he came to Yang Yanzhao's Chinese army, Hu Yanzan also rode over, and he hugged his fists on his horse and said: "This general has been waiting for Li to check for a long time. ”

Yang Yanzhao said straightforwardly: "There are only more than 20,000 palace front division elite horsemen who have reinforced Zhuozhou. ”

Hu Yanzan said excitedly: "It's good to have reinforcements!" If there are many soldiers, you can attack, and if you have few soldiers, you can defend. Ben would have divided the infantry into four formations, with four corners; Li Dianjian's elite cavalry is in the center, where the Liao army attacks, the cavalry can quickly reinforce the fortification fortress defense, and our army's defense can be safe! ”

Hu Yanzan said, paused and clenched his fists and said, "Please General Yang decide." ”

In one sentence, the commander-in-chief of the Zhuozhou tribes was clearly distinguished, and Huyanzan was still very sensible...... Yang Yanzhao is the person in front of the palace and the emperor, and Hu Yanzan is the highest military general of the guard Ma Busi, so he just listens to the order.

Yang Yanzhao glanced at Hu Yanzan and said, "This is a little wonderful, first protect Zhuozhou." The area of the fortress is so vast that more than 100,000 people can't surround the entire place; Let's defend it, and we can also attack. ”

It is only possible to take the initiative to attack, but in reality it is obvious that the offensive force is insufficient. The few soldiers in Zhuozhou can also fight with the Liao army outside the city, relying on the fulcrum of the fortress fortifications; Once out of the vicinity, the gap in field forces is too great.

However, Yang Yanzhao's reinforcements are only the first batch!

Yang Yanzhao took out another letter with ugly handwriting, handed it to Hu Yanzan and said, "The emperor wrote the letter himself, General Hu Yan, please take a look at it." ”

Hu Yanzan took a quick look, looked up and said, "We can finally have a big fight with the Liao people!" ”

...

In the northeast of Youzhou City, along the Wenyu River, the river water has moistened many trees, which have long since withered in this season; But the snow hanging on the branches makes the withered trees seem to bloom with clusters of flowers, which is extremely beautiful.

The houses in the village were also covered with snow, as if they were hidden in the snow.

Zhang Jiang rode his horse through the snow-covered forest road, reined in his war horse and looked into the distance excitedly. A moment later, a group of generals also rode up, three horses side by side, and the big men on their mounts stared brightly ahead.

Even the front hooves of the war horses were shaved in the snow, as if they couldn't wait.

Directly on the road ahead, a long line of men and horses was crawling slowly, and there were also large carts drawn by herds of sheep and oxen.

Zhang Jiang turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Look, they haven't discovered us yet." ”

Shen Fang said: "I guess I think we are our own people!" ”

Zhang Jiang said with a smile: "This place is deep behind the Liao army, maybe they will really recognize the wrong person." ”

A large group of horsemen from behind also slowly stepped forward. Zhang Jiang immediately suppressed his smile, raised his hand and shouted: "Order, stop the flag, and approach slowly!" ”

"Order!"

A large group of Tang army horsemen came out of the forest road and slowly marched forward, and the men and horses that came out from behind spread out to the left and right flanks, and the army gradually became larger, and it was obviously impossible to hide their whereabouts in the middle of the open field. Everyone was silent, except for the occasional cough and the sound of the horse's nose.

Zhang Jiang carefully pulled out an arrow from the quiver, kept a slow speed and continued to move forward, his eyes did not take off his prey for a moment. Like a leopard, he was lying on the ground and slowly approaching.

After a while, the riders who wandered out of front finally noticed something strange, and there was a shout in the distance. The crowd on the road suddenly appeared in panic!

Zhang Jiang kicked the war horse and shouted, "Kill!" ”

The cavalry at the front immediately rushed out, and the horses behind also picked up. The silent army immediately shouted in a high-pitched voice, and the sound of horses' hooves roared suddenly.

Seeing such a surging situation of the Tang army, the Liao army horse team was willing to come up and fight, so they turned around and ran. Zhang Jiang shouted, and a military general led people to chase after him, and the rest of the brigade frantically rushed towards the crowd on the road.

The Liao people were in chaos, Zhang Jiang drew his bow, and shot an arrow at a man who had just climbed out of the carriage, and the man threw himself on the wooden wheel with half of his body.

The sheep fled in all directions, and the Liao people also ran wildly. The Tang Army's horsemen chased and killed in all directions, crying and screaming around them, just like the Shura field in the world, which was no different from slaughter.

Zhang Jiang led the people along the road to sprint farther along his team, without stopping, Zhang Jiang and Shen Fang's arrows did not stop, and there was no need to draw the bow to full, anyway, these Liao soldiers and tribal herdsmen did not wear armor. The war horses galloped all the way, the bowstrings "crackled" all the way, the arrows flew in the air, and the chaotic crowd on the road kept falling, and there were corpses everywhere.

Some Liao people knelt on the ground, raised their hands and begged. Tang Jun rushed up, but he couldn't understand it anyway, so he stabbed the spear at it. The rest of the people got up and ran desperately, collected their bows and arrows at the front of the Tang cavalry, drew their sabers from their backs, and accelerated their rush after staring at one.

"Ah......h But the war horse had quickly approached, and the Tang cavalry raised the bright sabre high, waiting to rush closer, and with a slash, blood immediately splashed.

A detachment of cavalry made a detour to the west, driving the flock back in panic and running there, and the arrows flew along the way, slaughtering the sheep on the spot! There were also a few shepherd dogs with their tails between their tails and ......barking, and arrows also flew in, and the dogs were killed. The screams of panic and fear were terrifying.

The beans and grains on the cart were also ignited, and smoke billowed along the winding road.

Zhang Jiang stood on the ground, rubbed the saber back and forth on the clothes of a dead corpse a few times, and looked back to the left and right, the ground was full of corpses stained with snow flakes in the snow, and there was blood stained everywhere. The fighting had not stopped, a wounded man was desperately crawling in the snow with round eyes, and the Tang sergeant chased after him and stepped on his back, lifted the saber, and stabbed him a few times, blood splashed all over his face, and the person lying on the ground screamed like a ghost.

Zhang Jiang put the knife into the scabbard, called five military generals, pointed to the long list of messy scenes and smoke on the snow, and said, "This road is from the side of Tongpingzhou." We can meet a group of people delivering food, and there may be one in the future. Take a thousand horsemen and go north along the road. ”

Several generals responded with their fists clenched.

Zhang Jiang also assigned the order, and ordered them to kill all living creatures, and fight quickly and never stay.
