When Zhao Weiji entered Flying Fox City with apprehension in his heart, what he got was the order that the Zhenzhou army still set off with the large army.

This order suddenly filled Zhao Weiji's heart with negative emotions, you don't need me to drag me away, at this moment, Zhao Weiji had the heart to kill a person for the first time.

Originally, Tian Chongjin wanted to directly leave the Zhenzhou army in Flying Fox City, anyway, the army was not inferior to his 30,000 people. But just when Tian Chongjin issued an order to recruit Zhao Weiji's Zhenzhou army to Flying Fox City, Yuan Jizhong's words dispelled Tian Chongjin's thoughts.

"General Tian, our people have always been at odds with the Zhenzhou Army. Once they are left here, it will not completely leave them without anyone to take care of them, and if they take any action without permission, it will not be a good thing for General Yoda, regardless of the impact on the situation of the war. ”

As soon as he heard Yuan Jizhong say this, Tian Chongjin understood, although Tian Chongjin did not read much, he was not a fool. Once the Zhenzhou army is out of control, then if they win the battle in other battlefields, then jealousy and jealousy will inevitably be added to the head of the other field. If the battle is lost, then he can't escape the hat of knowing no one and not knowing people.

After weighing it repeatedly, Tian Chongjin still decided to tie the Zhenzhou army firmly to his side and keep an eye on them.

……

Just when the middle road battlefield was reorganizing the army and preparing to continue marching, the army of Pan Mei Yang Ye on the west road had already arrived at the Yingzhou battlefield.

Although the Khitan high-level set a strategy to lure the enemy into the depths, the situation on the West Road was somewhat different. The battlefield of the West Road was mainly near Datong Mansion in Xijing, which was not very suitable for cavalry combat, so the West Road had to delay the advance of the Song army.

It doesn't matter much if Yunzhou is given to the Song army, but Yingzhou can't let the Song army take it so easily. Because once Yingzhou is taken by the Song army, then the Song army will face Xijing Datong Mansion.

In the case that the other two roads have not yet turned around, Xijing is bound to face great pressure. Moreover, once Xijing is lost, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of the whole strategy.

Because the strategic position of Datong Mansion is extremely important, even if the Eastern and Central Route Armies fail, as long as the Song army captures Datong Mansion, the Song army will at least not lose this battle.

As a result, Panmei's Western Route Army met with strong resistance before it reached Yingzhou.

Although the Western Route Army encountered strong resistance, it achieved the demeanor of the Yang brothers on the battlefield.

……

"It's still so cold." Yang Jiaqilang kept complaining about the ghost weather.

"If you have cotton clothes to keep you warm, don't complain about the cold, Seven." It was Yang Shilang who spoke.

At this time, the so-called vanguard led the troops forward, and on the Loess Plateau were the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh elders of the Yang family.

Although it is almost April, the temperature on the Loess Plateau is still not very high. Besides, the ravines and the loess are really uncomfortable.

At this time, the troops of the Song army were walking on the plateau, but suddenly the sixth Yang Yanzhao felt that the situation was a little wrong. Because it stands to reason that Yingzhou should be the key defense point of the Khitan army, but why did he leave so he hasn't encountered even a single Khitan scout.

At this time, he remembered that he had discussed the landform of this loess with Zhao Weiji. Zhao Weiji once said that if troops were sent to march in this ditch, it would be possible to avoid the enemy's detection.

Thinking of this time, Yang Yanzhao suddenly felt that the Khitan army was marching in this ditch and preparing to go directly to the rear of the army?

After thinking of such a possibility, Yang Yanzhao could no longer be so stable. So he directly called the seventh Yang Yansi and asked him to take the telescope to the ditch to investigate.

Yang Yansi took the telescope to the edge of the ditch and looked in the direction of Yingzhou, and saw that there was really a group of Khitan men marching in the ditch. And in order to reduce the noise, the Khitan cavalry used cloth to protect the horses' feet.

"Sixth brother, as you expected, there is really a Khitan army in the ditch, which is less than five miles away from us." Yang Yansi said excitedly to Yang Yanzhao after he came back.

Hearing the news, Yang Yanzhao looked at the fourth Yang Yanhui.

"Since it is the sixth child who is the first to react to this possibility, then the sixth one, you can arrange it."

"Then I'm welcome, fifth brother, you take the crossbowmen to ambush by the ditch, and wait until the Khitan army comes over to attack.

The fourth brother continued to march forward with the infantry, finding a place where he could go down to the bottom of the valley, and going around to block the retreat of the Khitan soldiers.

Lao Qi and I led the cavalry back to the slope that led to the bottom of the ditch that we had just seen, and used the slope to directly snipe the Khitan soldiers head-on. ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Yanzhao looked at his fourth and fifth brothers.

"I'm okay with that." Yang Yande, the fifth old man who had not spoken, spoke.

"Since the fifth child has no opinion, I have no opinion." Seeing that the fifth child did not object, Yang Yanhui naturally did not have any objections.

"Then let's do it like this, you come with me, Seventh."

The vanguard led by the Yang brothers launched the operation.

Soon the Khitan army had already arrived at the ambush site, and the Khitan army thought that no one would think of such a move.

This trick is indeed a new trick, after Yelumo arrived in Xijing, he observed the terrain of the Loess Plateau and came up with such a trick to circumvent the reconnaissance.

It's just that he didn't know that there was a person who came from a thousand years later, and this person who came from a thousand years later knew that there was a person who also used such a trick to evade detection, but this person was not to sneak up on the enemy army, but to escape.

Therefore, the Khitan army was even more defenseless against the situation above the ditch.

Just as they began to pass through the ambush site of the Song army, a rain of arrows suddenly fell from the sky. Arrows literally rained down from the sky.

With the blessing of gravity, the power of the arrow is even greater. Many Khitan soldiers were directly pierced through their helmets and were directly killed by headshots. Even the horses under the crotch of the soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the vital were shot miserably.

After the rain of arrows stopped, the Khitan soldiers, who had not yet taken a breath, began to meet another nightmare. A gentle slope not far ahead, yellow sand began to fly.

Then he saw a cavalry unit rushing towards him like a raging wave. The soldiers, who were still able to move themselves and their horses, turned and pulled their horses and fled.

But the soldiers whose horses were dead awaited them, and their only fate was to be crushed by the torrent of cavalry.

The soldiers who turned and fled, thinking they were out of danger, didn't want their retreat to be sealed.

The infantry led by Yang Yanhui had already lined up on top of their retreat to block the road. At this time, the Khitan cavalry, which had experienced two dangers, had no power to resist. The cavalrymen who rushed to the front of the infantry battle formation were directly stabbed to death by the infantry's spears, dismounted their horses, and fell to the ground.

With the momentum of urging withering, the vanguard of this Khitan was solved, and the Yang brothers suddenly became famous.

When the good news was transmitted back to the large army behind, Pan Mei was shocked by this achievement, and the Song army annihilated a large Khitan army with almost zero casualties. In the history of the Song war against Liao, this is basically unprecedented.

"The Yang family is loyal, and the seven Lang and Eight Tigers are really tiger fathers and no dogs. Chonggui really raised a lot of good sons. Pan Mei said happily to Yang Ye while wiping her beard.

"The captain praised it falsely, and the last general didn't expect the dogs to achieve such a record."

"The general is humble, and I hope that the generals of the Yang family can make persistent efforts, and our Northern Expedition can continue smoothly like this. Let's go, let the army speed up, and with such losses, I want to see how Yingzhou can stop us. ”

Pan Mei Yangye's army began to speed up its march to Yingzhou at this time.

……

And at almost the same time, Tian Chongjin had already set off from the Flying Fox and had already surrounded the next enemy city, which was Lingqiu.

But just as Tian Chongjin's Chinese army surrounded Lingqiu, the weather changed, and after the Gu rain, the rain in the north began to increase.

As soon as the army surrounded Lingqiu, it began to rain heavily. Out of cautious consideration of the battle situation, Tian Chongjin ordered the army to surround but not fight.

"What the hell is the weather." Sitting in the tent, Shigajin began to complain about the weather again, and while complaining, he was still rubbing his knees and other joints.

Zhao Weiji, who was usually attending a combat meeting with nothing to do with him, was very keen to grasp this detail.

After the meeting ended, Zhao Weiji did not go directly back to the area belonging to their Zhenzhou Army as usual, but found a veteran who had followed Tian Chongjin for many years around Tian Chongjin's military tent.

"Is there something wrong with General Tian? During the meeting just now, I always saw General Tian rubbing his joints. Zhao Weiji asked the veteran.

"The general really has good eyesight, our General Tian has rheumatism, and he has joint pain when he arrives in this windy and rainy weather. This is all an old problem for many years, and it seems to have been the result of years of war. ”

"Oh, thank you."

"The general is polite, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first."

After the veteran left, Zhao Weiji also walked towards his military tent.

Three days later, the rain still didn't stop. Tian Chongjin was still fine, so he rubbed his joints and scolded the weather. While he was cursing, one of his own soldiers walked in with a bottle.

"The general tries this, it should help the general's rheumatism."

"What is this?" Tian Chongjin took the bottle, pulled out the cork and sniffed it. "It's wine. You kid actually dare to hide alcohol in the army, you don't want to live, do you? ”

"The general is angry, listen to me first, this is not my private wine, this is a medicinal wine I bought from a farmer, and the farmer said that it has a relieving effect on rheumatic joint pain. Thinking that the general was suffering from illness during this time, he couldn't bear to buy it and give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll be done if we throw it away. ”

"Really? Count your kid as filial. After speaking, Tian Chongjin took a sip of the bottle.

After drinking it, I really felt that my joints began to heat up, and I was obviously much better than before.

"Hmmm! After drinking, it is obviously much more comfortable, you kid is doing this well. After the battle, you will be indispensable for your performance. ”

"General Xie."

After this time, Tian Chongjin had another hobby to drink some of this medicinal wine every day, and his own soldiers also continued to supply medicinal wine for Tian Chongjin.

After another two days, the rain stopped.
