The Liao and Song dynasties have been fighting for a hundred years, and both sides are very familiar with each other's strengths and weaknesses. When the pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info Liao [***] team faced the Song army, the biggest advantage was their mobile surname, and the speed of the cavalry was not at all what the two legs of the Song army could keep up with.

There is also one of the most critical points, and it is also the biggest advantage that Yelu Hongji believes has over the Liao State in this battle, that is, the psychological difference between the Liao and the Song people.

The Liao people have been fighting the Song Dynasty for so long, and the Song Dynasty is now very strong, and the national strength has pulled the Liao State far behind. But national strength is only one factor that determines how far you can fight a war. As long as they are fast enough to break through a certain point of defense of the Song army in the shortest possible time, threaten the security of the interior of the Great Song Dynasty, and then fight a few small victories, those Song people will immediately think of the trauma that the Liao [***] team had brought to them.

They will fear that the defeat will repeat itself, and they will send a doctor to sue for peace. At that time, he could, as before, ask the Song army to pay compensation and ask the Song army to cede some land.

He will not ask for copper coins for this indemnity, but for silver, and a million taels of silver will be enough for Liao to tide over the current difficulties. He could even require the merchants of the Song Dynasty to use copper coins when trading with the Liao State.

The key to the war is speed, Yelu Ne Gulu is right, the Liao State must take advantage of the Song army did not react to use their incomparable speed to open the situation, otherwise once it falls into a protracted war, the Song army's defensive advantages will be fully played, and the Song Dynasty's national strength can also fight the battle for a long time.

The one who failed like that would definitely be the Liao State.

Yelu Hongji led the 500,000 troops he can mobilize now to rush to Hejian Mansion as fast as possible, this time he didn't even wait for the troops to be fully assembled, nor did he wait for all the supplies to be in place, and after negotiating with Yelu Neghulu, Yelu Hongji took Xiao Da, the general of Liao, as the vanguard, led 50,000 cavalry to go first, and rushed to the Xin'an military camp of the Song Dynasty at the fastest speed.

His intention is very clear, to defeat the Xin'an military camp, disrupt Ren Fu's defense system in Hejian Mansion, and then defeat Ren Fu's troops in Hejian Mansion, or kill from here to threaten the interior of the Great Song Dynasty, depending on the situation.

The Xin'an military camp is composed of more than ten castles, each castle has 2,000 to 3,000 soldiers, and the distance between them is no more than three miles, and the person in charge of guarding here is Xu Huaide, a general of the Song Dynasty.

Xu Huaide was chosen as his breakthrough because Yelu Hongji investigated very clearly, and the other troops of the Song army were strictly disciplined and strictly trained. Only this Xu Huaide's men and horses are relatively lax.

I heard that some time ago, Xu Huaide was almost cut down by Ren Fu.

The reason was that a landlord named Wei Qiang near the Song army garrison some time ago married his daughter-in-law, probably in politeness, and the landlord also sent an invitation to the garrison, inviting Xu Huaide to drink a glass of wine.

To say that this Xu Huaide is also a capable person, he just drank the wedding wine, I don't know what means were used in the middle, after drinking the wedding wine, he actually let the bride willingly sleep in the same bed with him.

Wei Qiang is also a well-known figure in the local area, where is he willing to suffer this dumb loss? Immediately, a note was sent to Ren Fu. Ren Fu originally wanted to convict Xu Huaide of robbing the people's daughter, which was enough to kill his head. But in the end, the new daughter-in-law actually cried and shouted out to intercede for Xu Huaide, saying that everything was voluntary for her.

Since it is voluntary, it is out of reach to rob the people's daughters, at most a woman from a good family is abducted, in the Song Dynasty, such a thing is not called hateful, it is called romantic. Ren Fu beat Xu Huaide fifty boards, and then deducted half a year's military salary, let him wait in the army, and wait until a suitable leading general was transferred from behind, Xu Huaide immediately got out of the army.

In Yelu Hongji's opinion, the troops led by a general who is about to get out of the way must be the easiest to break. What's more, Na Wei Qiang will definitely not cooperate with the Song army to fight again, and he will definitely be able to convince Xu Huaide.

Therefore, he set his sights on Xu Huaide.

After Xu Huaide was beaten by dozens of boards, not to mention going into battle to kill the enemy and lead the troops to train, he was supported by a limp person who walked, and he didn't realize that he had become the target of the Liao people.

He didn't hide anything about what he had done, and he publicized it everywhere as one of his achievements, but in the middle, what method did he use to make the bride who had just met him willing to sleep with him, this question many people wanted to know, but he didn't say anything.

Lying on the recliner and watching the ants crawl over the ground one after another, Xu Huaide thought about what he would do when he went back.

In a few days, as soon as the new general comes, he will get out, in fact, the current army is already Bai Yutang presiding over things, and he is just staying here to wait for a formality, and by the way, to take care of the wound, so that he can roll more easily.

What Xu Huaide did this time was incomprehensible to many people, and he lost his future for a woman, which was extremely stupid at the time. But as long as you go to the battlefield, you will understand that the more veteran you are, the easier it is to do something that violates military discipline.

The reason is simple, the least valuable thing on the battlefield is human life, whether it is a general or a soldier, a knife from where you don't know where can turn you into a corpse. There may be a guy who is very bad at archery shoots an arrow that hits you right and your life is gone.

Those veterans have seen death, they are indifferent to life and death, but at the same time they are indifferent to life and death, they are also indifferent to discipline and morality. The oppression of death makes them seize every opportunity they can to indulge themselves, life and death are cared for, what else to care about?

Xu Huaide was a little annoyed, he had been in the army for so many years, he had no merit and hard work, and he fought so beautifully in Qingfeng Village, none of these could offset the mistakes he had made, Ren Fu didn't give him anything at all, even if he said that he would remember this matter first, and then punish himself later.

After being angry for a few days, he was relieved to think that leaving the army might not be a bad thing for him, at least he would not have to do such a desperate errand in the future, this time he would have to fight against the Liao State. Although the generals estimated that the Song Dynasty would win a big victory in this battle, the price of a big victory could also be more than 100,000 Song troops killed on the battlefield. Maybe if you stay, you will become one of the hundreds of thousands.

The current situation of the Great Song Dynasty is very good, he has some money in his hands, and he thinks that he is not stupider than anyone else, and it is better for scholars to do some business and make money to live a good life than anything else.

I had seen Chen Shimei when I was in Sanguan, if I went to him, he should be able to help himself, as long as he helped himself a little, then things would be much simpler.

Just as he was imagining the future, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps running towards him, and when he turned his head, he saw Bai Yutang's face serious, and Xu Huaide didn't know what was going on.

"Fifth Master Bai, what's the matter? Is the new general coming? ”

"The new general didn't come, and he won't be able to come!"

Xu Huaide was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

Bai Yutang walked over and lifted him up: "The people of the Liao Kingdom are here, and they have hit us!" ”

Xu Huaide struggled sharply in Bai Yutang's palm: "Hey, you let go!" My ass isn't good yet! ”

Bai Yutang didn't let go at all: "The four camps in front have been lost, and now all the generals are in the big tent, you must go and command us, because the document to dismiss you has not yet come, and the new general has not come!" ”

After Xu Huaide stood up, he twisted violently and broke free of Bai Yutang's palm: "You let go!" What does this concern me? Before the new general came, the troops were commanded by you, this is what Ren Fu said personally, which onion did I go to? ”

Bai Yutang shook his head: "General, now is not the time to be rash, the people of the Liao Kingdom will come soon, even if you are not a general, you must stand up for this dress on you!" ”

Xu Huaide sneered: "Haven't you come yet?" Well, I'll go out and ask you for help, it's all right, right? ”

Bai Yutang looked at him for a while: "Okay, then you go, a spineless person like you, I really don't know how you became a general, if you're lucky afterwards, it's best not to show up again." ”

After Bai Yutang finished speaking, he turned around and didn't look at Xu Huaide. He knew that Xu Huaide's heart had already left the army, and leaving others behind at this time would not only fail to help, but also kill these brothers.

Besides, he didn't have time to talk to him, the Liao people came too fast, and the Song army didn't have any preparation at all, the first two military camps fell almost instantly, and the last two were beaten down by the Liao people without much effort.

If nothing else, the Liao [***] team will be here in half an hour, whether it is to retreat, to defend, to ask for help, and it is necessary to come up with a unified opinion as soon as possible.

Walking into the military tent, the generals saw that Bai Yutang came back alone, and their expressions were a little understood, but they couldn't believe anything. Bai Yutang walked to Xu Huaide's position and sat down: "Everyone, from now on, listen to my command, I think we must not retreat now, we will immediately give up several other military camps, and all the troops will be concentrated in the Green Shirt Battalion, the Purple Shirt Battalion, and our main battalion." ”

Li Wei on the side nodded after listening: "I think it's okay, these three military camps are very strong, they can support each other, and we can completely defend it." ”

Another general immediately said: "We will immediately send someone to ask for help, so that General Ren Fu and the emperor know that the Liao State is coming." ”

Bai Yutang saw that everyone agreed after listening to their opinions, and the confidence in his heart suddenly ignited: "Okay, then we will now gather our forces to these three camps and give up the other camps that are not strong." ”

Suddenly, there was a shout of killing outside, and a Song army covered in blood ran in: "Generals, the vanguard of the Liao State has arrived!" ”

Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, the Liao people were moving too fast, did the Song army still have a chance to concentrate their forces to defend?

If you can't concentrate your troops, the small troops outside will be able to break through each of them. And it also means that it is very difficult for them to go to Ren Fu for help.

All the generals in the entire barracks are silent, and the countermeasures that have just been discussed have now changed, what should I do? Do you continue to implement or change your strategy? The speed of the Liao people disrupted their train of thought, and Bai Yutang felt that his head was a little dizzy.

The door of the military tent was pushed open again, Xu Huaide limped in, and after entering the door, he went straight to the position that belonged to him that was occupied by Bai Yutang: "Light the fireworks, order all the cities to defend to the death, and never retreat until the last person fights!" ”
