This time, the Song army suddenly crossed the Hengshan and slaughtered on a large scale, and the most seriously injured were the Yeli tribe, and Yeli Jie Ge heard that his younger brother Ye Lile Ge was seriously injured in the toad village, when the toad village was breached, Ye Li Lege was carried by several men to escape, but because of the serious injury, life and death are still uncertain.

Therefore, Brother Yeli Jie was bent on rushing back to the Yeli clan to clean up the mess, and after listening to Meile's words, he hummed: "Lord Tongjun, didn't the Song army have a group of men and horses attacking the area around Yaode City and have not retreated yet?" Please give me 5,000 men and horses, and the last general will definitely cut down this Song army, screw off their heads, and pile them up in Huanzhou City for the Song people to see, and those who dare to offend my Daxia will be punished! ”

The general Wei Mingshan said disdainfully: "Only 500 Song troops, with their own soldiers and horses in Yanzhou and other places, why do we need to divide the troops again, it is simply a superfluous move, the commander of the army, the last general suggested, by the end of the general with 10,000 horses, go back to the Tokugawa south to attack Huanzhou, the attention of the Song army, the commander of the army and then lead 40,000 troops to suddenly enter the Jingyuan Road, if you can hit the Jingyuan Road by surprise, it is the best, if Zhang Qi is prepared, after the commander of the army feints to overturn, and then suddenly from Jingyuan Road to the east, attack into Huanqing Road, At that time, the soldiers and horses of Huanqing Road were attracted to the north by the last general, and the troops of Huanzhou City must be empty. Huanzhou, the Huanzhou army, which was attracted to the front line of Hengshan by the last general, was attacked by the enemy, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, so they could only wait for us to catch the turtle in the urn. ”

Wei Ming Shan Cun's set of tactics is virtual and real, there is a void in the real, there is a reality in the virtual, improvised, layer by layer to lure the enemy, Mei Le knew that Wei Ming Shan Cun suggested that he should take 10,000 horses back to Tokugawa, the motive is not so pure, it is clear that it is killing two birds with one stone, and at the same time rushing to the Yeli tribe, but this battle plan does have enough attraction for Mei Le.

Meile was about to nod in agreement, but Brother Yeli Jie hurriedly said: "Lord Tongjun, the north of Toad Village is originally a settlement of my Yeli tribe, and the last general is more familiar with the terrain over there, please allow the end to lead the army in the future, and the last general will definitely live up to the trust of the Lord of the United Army, and attract all the soldiers and horses on the Huanqing Road to the border of Hengshan in the north." ”

Seeing that at this time, Brother Yeli Jie and Wei Ming Shancun were still each making small calculations, and he was secretly angry in his heart, he glanced at A Gulu quietly, and said: "You don't have to fight anymore, these 10,000 horses will be led by A Gulu, A Gulu, you remember, I will not ask you to defeat the Song army, but you must fight harder, and attract the soldiers and horses of Huanqing Road to the border of Hengshan." ”

"The last general obeys the order!" Ah Gulu received the military order, habitually touched his shiny bald head, and glanced at Ye Li Jiege and Wei Ming Shancun with deep meaning, before walking out of the tent quickly.

Brother Yeli Jie sighed in his heart, although Ah Gulu is not a member of the Wei Ming clan, but it is also not a good way, he competes with the Wei Ming Mountain Crane Mussel, don't let A Gu Lu come to a fisherman to profit.

"The general has ordered the whole army to be ready to fight at any time."

In order to consolidate the power in their hands, the Liang family did their best to exclude, suppress, and divide the various party departments, and often deliberately created contradictions between the ministries, making the ministries hate each other, encroach on each other, and constantly dump.

Wei Ming is a royal family, extremely dissatisfied with the Liang family's long-term control of the Western Xia imperial power, and Ye Li for the interests of the department, accept the Liang family's wooing, and the Liang family is embarrassed, so the Wei family has a chance, never let go of the encroachment on the Ye Li family, on the contrary, the Ye Li family will not let go of the Wei Ming family, this situation has long existed, Mei Le, as a general, is very helpless, and can only try to reconcile.

Sending Ah Gulu to lead the partial division, it is by no means that Meile particularly believes in Aguli, nor is it because Meile is angry, if either of Pai Ye Li Jie Ge and Wei Ming Shan Cun leads the partial division, the other person will be resentful of his own commander, and I am afraid that after the army, he will be disobedient.

Keeping Yeli Jie Ge and Wei Mingshan Cun by their side now can make the two feel that they are not obviously biased to one side, and as long as they make a little use of the dislike between the two, they can arouse their hearts of not admitting defeat to each other, and form a favorable side to the battle.

On Tiandu Mountain, for a while, the flag is like gone, people roar and horses neigh, an hour later, Agulu led 10,000 iron horsemen to roar away, the smoke and dust raised and the clouds on the horizon are intertwined, the scene is extremely spectacular.

As soon as Agulu went, the army on the mountain was also waiting for the day, the generals at all levels returned to each other, the heralds were galloping, and the tense atmosphere of the battle was everywhere...... Outside Meile's handsome tent, the sound of hooves is like thunder, all roads are in and out, the heralds are in a hurry, and the movements of the Song army that have been detected are gathered here, and then the orders of Meile are everywhere...... *** Yuanzhou, Jingyuan Road Shuai.

Here is also the herald soldiers come and go frequently, and the sound of hooves hitting the bluestone pavement makes people's hearts numb.

As a most outstanding military figure in the northwest, every military decision he made is not blind, and if he wants to know himself and his opponent, he needs an efficient intelligence network to provide support, so Zhang Kai attaches great importance to the construction of the intelligence network.

As soon as he arrived in the northwest, he sent a large number of meticulous work deep into the territory of Western Xia, while reprimanding the news, while engaging in sabotage, the destruction of the Jingyuan army was more targeted than the special combat team in Huanzhou, Zhang Qi did not agree with Yang Yi's indiscriminate killing methods, and when the Jingyuan army's meticulous work and hard detectives (armed reconnaissance personnel) engaged in sabotage, the focus was on the military and political aspects of the Western Xia. Most of the party and the people just kill their young and strong, and let go of the old and weak.

Yang Yi's Huanzhou Army suddenly launched and swept two hundred miles east of Weizhou, achieving such brilliant results, which was somewhat unexpected by Zhang Ji; However, during the ninth year of Yuan You, because the old party had always adopted a policy of appeasement to the Western Xia, the border defense of the Great Song Dynasty was also not good, and he went to Huanzhou before and agreed with Yang Yi on a series of strategies against Xia.

But the matter has been done, and the results are unexpectedly good, Zhang Qi can only acquiesce.

Meile gathered an army in Tiandu Mountain, which naturally could not be concealed from Zhang Qi, Western Xia has always been eager to report, even if there is no intelligence, Zhang Qi can guess that the Xia army will have military retaliation, but he did not expect that the Xia army did not rush to Huanqing Road, but gathered in Tiandu Mountain.

Tiandu Mountain overlooks Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road, Meile gathers an army in Tiandu Mountain, Jingyuan Road bears the brunt, now look at this, Yang Yi's Huanzhou Army ate meat, but Jingyuan Army has to help wash pots and bowls.

Zhang Qi looked at the Jingyuan generals who gathered in Shuaisi, Zhe Keshi, Kou Shiyuan, Li Zhongjie, Chong Jianzhong (that is, the Dao of the Seed Master), Guo Cheng, Efen, and Zhang Ze, from the eyes of these ruthless people, there was no trace of complaint, and some were just envy of the Huanqing Army and the expectation of the upcoming war.

Morale is incredible! This is the exclamation that Zhang Qi drew from the eyes of the generals in Jingyuan.

Jingyuan Road is facing the Hulu River, which is a north-south point, with 70,000 troops, excluding the Xiang army, Qiang soldiers, and township soldiers, and the actual battleable soldiers are 33,000 people. Meile claimed to have gathered 100,000 troops in the Du Tianshan Mountain, but this seepage "claim" could not hide from Zhang Qi, in a hurry, it was impossible for Western Xia to gather an army of 100,000, in terms of troop comparison, Jingyuan Road was not afraid of Meile.

Now the key is that Meile is attacking, and the Jingyuan army is defending, before figuring out Meile's movements, Jingyuan Road is inevitably passive in defense.

As Zhang Ji's confidant and favorite general, Zhi Keshi first said: "Zhang Gong, before Yang Zhizhou had written the Zhenrong army, asking my Zhenrong army to cooperate in the battle, and now the Xia army is gathered in Tiandu Mountain, and I Jingyuan Road is the first to bear the brunt, and the matter of transferring troops to Huanzhou can only be stopped, but it has not yet been determined whether there will be a Xia army attack in Huanzhou, so the lower official believes that Yang Zhizhou should be immediately informed of the reason why the Zhenrong army cannot be transferred, so that Yang Zhizhou can adjust it in time." ”

This is how it should be, I promised others, but now I can't honor it, so I naturally have to notify it, otherwise wouldn't it be a trap? Zhang Qi nodded and said: "Meile gathers troops in Tiandu Mountain, when to attack, where is the most likely to attack, you may as well express your opinions!" ”

In the early forties of this year, the breed of the wise like a demon, from the first generation of the breed, the northwest breed of talents, especially in the military, the merits are difficult to count, the kind of Jianzhong and Huanzhou's seed Pu is cousin; Forty years old has passed the age of impulsiveness, so he said calmly: "Zhang Gong, the Xia army gathered in Tiandu Mountain, judging from the past situation, with such a scale of troops, the march route should either take the west foot of Liupan Mountain and attack the area of Qinfeng Road and Haoshuichuan, or go south along the Hulu River, and take Wuyan Gorge to attack my Jingyuan Road Zhenrong Army and Weizhou. ”

Zhang Ji was silent, Kou Shiyuan said: "Meile is a famous general in Western Xia, the use of soldiers has always been weird, relatively speaking, the defense of the western foot of Liupan Mountain is weaker, the lower official thinks, it must not be ruled out that Meile attacked the area of Haoshuichuan, although this time it is the Huanzhou army to provoke a big war, but Meile may not go straight to Huanzhou, my Jingyuan Road, Qinfeng Road may become the target of its revenge, although the first line of Haoshuichuan is the Qinfeng Road defense area, but we must guard against Meile suddenly turned around and attacked my Weizhou from the east. ”

Zhang Qi still didn't speak, Guan Shiyuan's words were not unreasonable, if Jingyuan Road pressed all the troops to the Wuyan Gorge area in the north, and then the Xia army entered Weizhou, the left flank of Jingyuan Road, from Haoshuichuan, Jingyuan Road would definitely suffer heavy losses; The strength of the Jingyuan Road is not as good as that of Meile, and the mobility can not be compared, most of the Song army are infantry, and according to intelligence, Meile is assembled this time with all cavalry, if you can't accurately judge the route of Meile's march, the Jinglu army will probably be exhausted when it arrives, and take care of one or the other.

Zhang Kai finally looked at Zhi Keshi, this is his most relied on henchman, the defeat of the Empress Dowager Liang's 100,000 army in Huanzhou Hongdezhai was the result of Zhi Keshi's concerted efforts with him, and the results achieved by close cooperation between the top and bottom, and the opinion of Zhe Keshi, for Zhang Kai, has the most weight.

Seeing Zhang Qi looking at it, Zhi Keshi said: "The subordinates agree with the judgment of the general judgment, it is more likely that Meile will take Wuyan Gorge and attack Jingyuan Road directly, and the last general will suggest that the troops immediately suppress Wuyan Gorge and make every effort to block Meile's army. ”
