Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Fierce Battle
readx;
In Youzhou, Yelu Hongji buried himself in military affairs. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 At this moment, Xiao Lu hurriedly came in, his face was pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he came to Yelu Hongji, and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the army of the Southern Dynasty appeared in the territory of Da Liao, broke through more than a dozen military camps, and killed more than 30,000 Da Liao warriors. ”
"What? The army of the Southern Dynasties appeared in the territory of Daliao? Yelu Hongji rolled his eyes, and his essence shot out, like a sharp sword, stabbing Xiao Lu directly, with a look of disbelief.
"It's true! This is what Jeruzhao has reported. Xiao Lu was busy with a sentence. The right hand kept wiping his forehead and wiping the cold sweat.
Such a big event has never appeared in the history of Liao, and it is impossible for Xiao Lu not to be afraid, his cold sweat can't help seeping out, erasing one handful after another, wiping it up, and it can't stop popping up.
"Haha!" Suddenly, Yelu Hongji raised his head to the sky and laughed loudly, laughing very happily, with a happy face, and said continuously: "Good! Good! Well done! It's been a great time! ”
"This ......" Xiao Lu heard it in his ears, and thought that there was something wrong with his ears, so he couldn't help but look at Yelu Hongji, and saw that he was smiling very happily, not like a fake, he was confused all of a sudden, and his face was puzzled.
Yelu Hongji laughed for a while, then stopped laughing, looked at Xiao Lu, looked at his surprised and puzzled look, and asked with a smile: "Are you very puzzled?" ”
"The minister is stupid and puzzled, and I ask the emperor to make it clear." Xiao Lu said respectfully.
"More than a dozen military camps in Daliao were breached, and the loss of more than 30,000 warriors was a great loss, which is shocking." Speaking of this, Yelu Hongji changed his words and said, "However, if you think about it the other way, it will be a good thing. Think about it, if you want to attack more than a dozen military camps and kill more than 30,000 Liao warriors, how many Song troops will it take? At least, there are fifty or sixty thousand. Emperor Song sent an army of fifty or sixty thousand into Da Liao at once, isn't this an opportunity to give Da Liao? ”
"Got it!" Xiao Lu is also a shrewd person, as soon as Yelu Hongji reminded him, he immediately understood, and turned his surprise into joy: "Your Majesty, this time, Da Liao can't miss this opportunity no matter what. ”
"Hmm!" Yelu Hongji nodded and said with a smile: "If you want to go deep into the territory of Da Liao, you must have war horses, so if Emperor Zhao wants to change the army of the Southern Dynasty, he will adopt a different way of fighting, and this is what I am worried about." Although the Southern Dynasty has been pressing the Great Liao for hundreds of years, it is not to be underestimated, the Southern Dynasty has a large land and many mouths, and its strength is more than ten or twenty times that of the Great Liao. However, the weakness of the Southern Dynasties was weakness in the army, and the training was not lawful, the fighting style was single, and the combat effectiveness was low. Although Zhao Ji wanted to reform the army, he never found a good way. This time, Zhao Ji took the Returning Army as the standard, and the army he built should not be underestimated. ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, smiled contemptuously, and said: "I am sure that Zhao Ji is a test of the surname this time, which is used to test the combat strength of the new army of the Southern Dynasty and hone the army. This is the opportunity that Zhao Ji gave to me, and I must not miss it! I wiped out these new troops, not to mention the losses of the Song Dynasty, and the opposition of Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Lu Gongzhu alone was enough to make Wang Anshi resign, and the new law would die. Ha ha! ”
Yelu Hongji is shrewd, he is right, if the Song army is defeated this time, the saliva of Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Lu Gongzhu will drown many people. The new law will certainly not be implemented, and it is inevitable that it will die young.
Not to mention, if the new army of the Song Dynasty is annihilated, it will be a huge loss, and it will be a blow to Song Shenzong, Song Shenzong's idea of reforming the army will change, he will give up this method, and the Song army will return to the origin of low combat effectiveness.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Xiao Lu's confidence was greatly boosted.
"What else did Yeluzhao say?" Yelu Hongji did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"Your Majesty, Yelu Zhao ordered the scattered garrison troops to be stationed in a centralized manner, and second, he led the Zhuozhou army south, preparing to annihilate the army of the Southern Dynasty." Xiao Lu reported loudly.
"Good!" Yelu Hongji nodded and praised: "Yelu Zhao is properly handled, let him do it." Hmph, if you go deep into the territory of Daliao, how can you get away? ”
xxx "Wu Du commanded, and we rescued a few more teams of brothers. They are really, such a good army, they don't dare to fight, they can't fight! A soldier of the Conversion Army told Wu Ji.
In the past few days, Wu Ji led the Converts to rescue everywhere and saved many Song troops. The reason why these Song troops are disadvantageous is that they are all about the same, either they dare not fight, or they just won't fight. As soon as the converts arrived, the situation changed completely, and they had to be convinced.
"It's normal." Wu Ji stroked his forehead: "They haven't seen the true power of the new army yet, they don't believe it very much, and they are afraid when they see the Liao army." Besides, they are still playing the same way as before, and it would be strange if they could fight. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Yi paused and said: "This is also a good thing, the edge comes out of itself, and they will not grow without going through it." You have also seen that the brothers who have rescued us will have a good appearance when they fight with Liaogou again, and if they fight a few more times, they will become elites. ”
Wu Ji is right, the growth of an army requires one tough battle after another, and although the new army has been trained, it has not used this method of warfare to fight, and it is normal for problems to occur. The Song armies of the Xiangxiongzhou Army and the Baoding Army fought impressively, no worse than the Guixin Army. The rest of the army, it's hard to say, they are often in danger. However, after the defeat, they went into battle again, and the situation was very different, they were very capable of fighting, as if they had changed as a different person.
It is conceivable that after fighting for a while, these Song soldiers will grow up and become real elites. At that time, the Song Dynasty will have tens of thousands of elite troops in hand, and the situation will be very different.
"Commander Wu Du, I can find you." Zhang Tong rode his horse, panting and shouting from afar.
"What?" Wu Ji greeted him.
"Wu Du commands, there is a situation, a major situation." Zhang Tong flew down, walked up quickly, and reported: "First, the Liao dogs are concentrated and no longer scattered, so it's not easy to sneak attack." Second, Zhuozhou's defender Ye Luzhao led 40,000 Zhuozhou troops south to attack us. ”
"Oh!" Wu Ji raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Good come!" That's great! ”
"You ......" Zhang Tong was a little puzzled and asked: "The military situation is urgent, why do you applaud?" ”
"A crisis is also a warplane." Wu Ji said with a smile: "If Yelu Zhao is shrinking in Zhuozhou City, we really can't do anything about him." However, he went south, and that was to give us a chance. If we kill Jerodh, our situation will be greatly improved, and our brothers will be more free to plunder. Besides, the concentration of Liaogou is also a good thing, if we kill a military camp, the harvest will be much greater. ”
"You really have a big appetite." Zhang Tong was a little shocked.
"It's not that I have a big appetite, it's that we have good teeth and can eat." Wu Ji said loudly: "Someone, send an order, order the Xiongzhou Army, Baoding Army, and Ansu Army to concentrate here and prepare to annihilate the Zhuozhou Liao Army." ”
"Obey!" The soldiers of the Converts took the order and departed.
"The Xiongzhou Army, the Baoding Army, the Ansu Army, plus your army here, there are almost 20,000, will it be too little?" Zhang Tong was a little uneasy, and reminded: "Yeluzhao is a good general, Zhuozhou is elite, and his combat power is strong. ”
"That's enough." Wu Ji's eyes lit up and said, "If it's just a defeat, only 10,000 people are enough." However, I didn't want to defeat the Zhuozhou army, I wanted to completely annihilate the Zhuozhou army, so I mobilized 20,000. One dozen two, if we can't beat it, we are rice buckets! ”
The combat strength of the new army is very strong, and if it really wants to give full play to its superiority, it is not any problem to fight two at all. With the combat power of the new army, if it is only defeated, 10,000 Song troops are enough to complete it, but it cannot completely annihilate the Liao army in Zhuozhou. The reason is that once the Liao army in Zhuozhou is defeated, it will flee, and the 10,000 Song army will not be able to fully pursue it no matter what. With 20,000 Song troops to complete, the result will be different.
"One more order, let the other brothers let go of their hands and feet, and go to work." Wu Ji raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "After Yeluzhao hands it over to us, it will no longer pose a threat to the brothers, and it is time for the brothers to do it." ”
There are more than 100,000 Liao troops, and the biggest threat is the Zhuozhou army, which is targeted by Wu Ji, and the other Liao troops are not much of a threat to the Song army. Of course, this is all based on the fact that today's Song army is much more confident and proficient in using tactics than when it first entered the Liao realm. If he had just entered the Liao Realm, Wu Ji would not have dared to say this.
Wu Ji led the army to the predetermined battlefield, and soon joined Zhou Wei, Han Fang, and Fang Ren.
Goodbye Ansu Army, Wu Ji was very surprised, now Ansu Jun's temperament has changed greatly, and he is much stronger than when he rescued him. Fang Ren couldn't help but thank Wu Ji: "Commander Wu Du, it's all your credit, if you hadn't let the little one see our majesty with your own eyes, how would I know that the battle was fought like this!" ”
After the baptism of war is completely different from those who have not gone through the war, the Ansu army is really a cattle, and there are countless things captured, and they have killed a lot of Liao troops.
"Well done!" Wu Jida was pleased.
"Brother Wu, when we return to the Song Realm, the brothers have been reborn one by one, compared to before, we are tigers, we are wolves, and Liao dogs have become lambs. Ha ha! The more Zhou Wei spoke, the more happy he became: "In the past, I heard my brother say how good the Converting Army was and how easy it was to fight Liaogou, and I thought it was an exaggeration. Now, after experiencing it for myself, I know that it is not an exaggeration at all, it is the truth. ”
"According to me, Brother Wu is still a little humble." Lin Hong also smiled.
"After this captivity, not only can the brothers fight and gain confidence, but more importantly, there are more battalion commanders, commanders, and leaders who will use this method of warfare." Wu Ji was really happy.
This plunder was an examination question, not only for the soldiers, but also for the generals and officers. With a group of generals and officers who can flexibly use this method of warfare, the new army will have a backbone, and everything will be easy.
"Wu is under the command of the capital, and the Zhuozhou army is only thirty miles away from us." A Song army reported loudly.
"Prepare for battle!" Wu Ji's face was solemn, and he said: "In this battle, we have concentrated the most capable brothers in the new army, we will try not to use stratagems as much as possible, fight a tough battle, and test our combat strength well!" ”
"Good!" No one disagrees with that.
An army that does not fight a bad war is not a good army, and this level must be passed.
