【145】Sparrow tactics

To be honest, Zhou Yi didn't have any idea of attacking Lingqiu County, he didn't know where he heard the news that he would only have some intrigues and tricks, but his strength was not very good.

How Zhou Yi wanted to argue with them that conspiracy is also part of strength, the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, and a general who can't even think of a conspiracy can fight what kind of war will he fight.

Of course, this is also thinking in his heart, Zhou Yi still decided to prove his strength with actions, and also wanted to determine his status and accumulate his experience through a real face-to-face siege.

But what he never expected was that before he gave the order to attack, a white flag was already flying on the city wall, and Lingqiu County surrendered before the war began!

This made Zhou Yi very depressed, is it so difficult to give Ye a chance to prove his strength?

The city gate was wide open, and Zhou Yi had to lead the army directly into Lingqiu County.

Lingqiu County is a small place, and more than 200,000 people were crowded in at once, and it immediately became very crowded, and the streets were full of Song troops. Some people looked out through the window curiously, and when they saw that it was Song Jun, they seemed to be a little more settled in their hearts. Since ancient times, like Song Jun, they are also Chinese. After being ruled by aliens for so many years, the Great Song finally remembered them and was finally going to take them home.

The general of Lingqiu County who guarded the city heard that he had committed suicide on the city wall, which made Zhou Yi very admirable, this is a person with integrity.

After taking over Lingqiu County, Anding County, far away in the northwest region of Ulzhou, actually sent someone to send a letter of surrender and a county order seal, and before Zhou Yi sent troops, Anding County had already surrendered!

So far. The whole of Ulju has been fully incorporated into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

This news made Yelu Yanxi furious. Sleepless nights. It's the first time in so many years that Song Jun has stepped on his head, how could he swallow this breath?

Ignoring anyone's dissuasion, he led an army of 300,000 and set out from Sijin Province to Ulju.

When Zhou Yi got the news, Yelu Yanxi's army had already set off for five days and came to Da'an Mountain. This is just the midpoint between Anding County and Sijin Province.

After discussion, Zhou Yi decided to lead his army back to Ulzhou to wait. Later, a large number of scouts were dispatched, and any wind and grass on the eastern border of Ulju could not escape Zhou Yi's eyes.

At the same time, the news that Yelu Yanxi led an army of 300,000 to personally conquer has also been quickly transmitted back to the capital.

But Zhou Yi knew that even if Zhao Ji was tied up with five flowers, he would not come. Ulju victory, happy to be happy, life preservation is still the first priority in his opinion.

This has to be said to be a pity. At the same time, it also made it impossible for the morale of the Song army to go further.

But Zhou Yi will never be afraid, this is the starting point of his career. The first step of his grand blueprint, even in the face of the 300,000 army led by Yelu Yanxi, he will definitely not be able to retreat, this is his insistence. He knew that as long as he retreated, he couldn't stop like eating Xuanmai. Not only can you not retreat, but you must also take the initiative to attack, the so-called first strike is strong, whether you can win or not is another matter, but you must not be able to weaken the momentum of the Song army.

Seven days later, the scouts below came up to report that the Liao army had reached the junction of Ulzhou and Yizhou, where there was a section of the Great Wall, and at the end of the Great Wall was the junction of Ulzhou and Xijin Province.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yi led the army to set off immediately, and came to Songzikou, which is a plain, and after the plain passes, there is a mountain, if the news of the scouts is true, then the Liao army will rush down from the mountain.

The cavalry of the Liao army was much more powerful than the Song army, and the cavalry could exert its greatest power on the plains, which Zhou Yi knew even if he had no military common sense. Therefore, he did not stop after crossing the pine pass, but continued to move forward and burrowed into the mountains and forests.

At the foot of the mountain, Zhou Yi finally separated all the teams, the goal of more than 200,000 people together was too big, Zhou Yi directly ordered the army to be split, a total of 1,000 teams, each team of 200 people, led by various centurions in the army. The remaining more than 50,000 people were led by Zhou Yi.

For Zhou Yi's decision, everyone, including Tong Guan, was a little unacceptable, and remembered that the day after the order was announced, Yi Yingfeng rushed into Zhou Yi's tent with great momentum.

"Lord Zhou, let's follow you along this way, the size has gone through several battles, and there has never been a defeat, we rely on the advantage of numbers, so why divide the team into a thousand today? Doesn't this distract them from their own strength? ”

Zhou Yi smiled: "You can rest assured about this, although I haven't read "The Art of War", but you definitely don't have as many war routines as me, and it makes sense for me to do this." As the saying goes, although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs, and I call it the sparrow tactic. ”

"Sparrow tactics?" Yi Yingfeng was puzzled.

"Yes, it's a sparrow tactic, can you stop it in the face of an army of 300,000? Since we can't face each other, let's play a little trick, and a hundred and eighty people rush up and make a little trouble for them, and when they cross the river, you chisel their boats, and when they cross the canyon, you throw stones down, and when they cross the forest, you burn them with a fire. Toss along the way, see if we don't consume him. Anyway, there are only 200 people, and they can't catch them. Zhou Yi said lightly.

Yi Yingfeng was embarrassed, he had been in the military camp for so many years, and he never knew that he could fight so shamelessly.

"It turns out that there is such a perfect plan for beating people, and the lower officials admire it very much."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly and said: "Okay, okay, go down and prepare, I have already asked people to rush to produce the "Sparrow Tactics", tomorrow you can have a copy for each centurion, you can eradicate the terrain and terrain with reference to the various strategies and mechanisms above, my idea is that as long as they can die thirty or fifty thousand people when they get out of the mountain, we will be considered victorious." ”

350,000 people...... It's as simple as eating and drinking. Yi Yingfeng suddenly felt that he had been hit, really, it was really an unfortunate thing to be with such a freak boss. He felt that it was the biggest mistake in his life so far that he actually came in to find this Lord Zhou.

"It turns out that Lord Zhou has already prepared, so the next official will go down to prepare, don't disturb the lord, and say goodbye." He rushed out of Zhou Yi's tent as if he was escaping, and only after walking a long distance did he stop and gasp for breath, when one of his better brothers came over and asked, "What, I was bitten by a dog?" ”

Zhou Yi looked at his back and couldn't help laughing, hey, I don't know the darkness of the master during the day, life, it's really lonely like snow......

Later, Tong Guan also came, Zhou Yi immediately told him his plan in detail, Tong Guan was also convinced, and when he left, he said to Zhou Yi: "You are really my little lucky star." ”

As soon as he went out, Zhou Yi vomited because of this sentence.

Without further ado, as the Liao army got closer and closer, the scouts' activities became more frequent, and basically Zhou Yi would receive a report every hour. The "Sparrow Tactics" has been distributed, and a thousand teams have set off, they can move freely, and their only task is to try to hinder the advance of the Liao army in this mountain forest and keep their losses to a minimum.

Yelu Yanxi was wearing golden armor, and the sun shone on his body, shining, as if he was a god of war in the sky, and his vulgar hobbies were actually the same as Zhou Yi's.

Behind him, there were cavalry, and this time he brought with him a combination of 50,000 cavalry and 250,000 infantry, 50,000 cavalry for skirmish charges, and infantry for any combat situation, except water battles.

His face was expressionless, in the past month, he had lost more than 100,000 troops and the entire Ulzhou, which made him unable to swallow this breath no matter what, so he did not hesitate to recruit in person. This time, he led an army of 300,000, but it has already reached forty percent of the strength of the entire Liao State, and it is still the elite division of the Liao army, and it is absolutely not allowed to fail.

On this day, they reached the end of the Great Wall, and they only needed to go a little further to be able to enter the territory of Ulzhou, first of all, they were able to enter the territory of Ulzhou, first of all, they heard that the Song army had not yet stationed the army in Anding, which gave Yelu Yanxi a chance, only need to eat Anding first, and then develop all the way south, and then drive the Song army back to Zhending Mansion!

The idea was very good, but in fact it ran into a lot of trouble, which is reflected in the fact that they crossed the Great Wall not far away.

The middle of this section of the Great Wall is built on a small mountain range, the winding Great Wall and the mountains that basically belong to the east-west direction form an intersection, the west side of the mountain range is only thirty miles away from Songzikou, only need to walk this section, the Liao army can display its combat effectiveness.

But just as they were about to leave the mountain, they suddenly noticed some black burning ashes falling from the sky, followed by smoke from the sky, and then they saw orange fire.

It's a fire!

"It's on fire, let's go......" Suddenly, some people ran from a distance, dressed in ordinary coarse cloth clothes, holding branches in their hands, and their bodies were full of smoke marks.

Behind them, flames were blowing with the help of a gale.

Yelu Yanxi was shocked, is this considered a disadvantage? He ordered the army to stop advancing, but instead of fleeing, he ordered, put out the fire!

The reason is very simple, this is the territory of the Great Liao Kingdom, and it is the mountains of the Great Liao Kingdom that are burned, besides, if you don't put out the fire, how can your hundreds of thousands of troops enter Ulzhou?

While they were busy putting out the fire, no one noticed that the people who had run out of the fire suddenly disappeared again. (To be continued......)
