Early the morning of the second day after the battle of Sikou Pass began, Di Qing sent the report of the previous day's battle to the commander-in-chief Zhi Weizheng.

Zhi Weizheng hurriedly glanced at it, and hurriedly handed it to Zhang Yaozuo, who was waiting with his head tilted next to him: "Lord Zhang, this is the battle situation of the Sikou Pass sent by Di Qing yesterday, take a look!" ”

"Good, good!" Zhang Yaozuo took the battle report with kindness and carefully studied it, after all, this was the biggest thing he had experienced since he was a privy envoy at that time, and it was related to his future and reputation, and he couldn't care about it.

After reading it, Zhang Yaozuo was very happy, he didn't expect that he would win the first battle of the supervising army, which is really a good sign!

However, he saw that Zhi Weizheng didn't seem to want to be happy, so he didn't understand, so he asked, "Lord Zhe, didn't General Di win a big battle!" You see that they killed 5,000 enemies, and their own losses were only 100 people, what an amazing record! Why aren't you very happy to see you? ”

"Alas!" Zhi Weizheng sighed: "The proportion of their casualties is still a bit large!" ”

With a poof, Zhang Yaozuo was sipping tea proudly, but he was so excited by Zhen Weizheng's words that he squirted out.

The kill ratio is one to fifty, which is still called big? I think at the beginning, when did our Song Kingdom not lose more and lose less, it would be good to be able to win, but it was still so hypocritical. This Nima, Zhang Yaozuo is not very happy, although you have won the battle, you can also blow a little, but your bull is also too big!

Zhi Weizheng saw Zhang Yaozuo's performance, realized that there might be something wrong with what he said just now, and hurriedly explained: "Lord Zhang, you may not know much about the current situation of our field army. I think that in the first battle of Yan'an Mansion back then, our field army was only formed in a hurry, and we still fought against the party cavalry in the field, and the battle loss ratio was only one to twenty. And in today's battle of Sikou Pass, the two major legions of our army, the Green Dragon and the White Tiger, have been refined and skilled for a long time, and there is also the cover of the city wall, if they play a little better, it will never be like this! ”

"Is our army really so fierce now?" As a reader who is familiar with historical allusions, Zhang Yaozuo still finds it difficult to believe that his army of the Great Song Dynasty can undergo such great changes in just ten years.

"Hey, hey!" Zhi Weizheng smiled handsomely: "It won't be long before the army of the Liao army in the middle will come to the city, and Lord Zhang will know it at a glance!" ”

Zhang Yaozuo: "Okay then! I'll see! ”

……

At the same time, the right-hand army led by Xiao Xiaoxian, the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao Army, also arrived at their battlefield - Waqiao Pass.

Xiao Xiaoxian's vanguard general, Xiao Langgu, hurried to him to ask for battle: "King, please allow the humble leader to go down to attack the Song army!" ”

This Xiao Langgu is the son of Xiao Dalin, a famous general of the Liao Dynasty, who was once famous for his capture of the Song Dynasty's "Yang Invincible" (Yang Ye), but died very poorly in the first battle of Lanyuan. At that time, when Xiao Darin originally wanted to go out of the city to observe the terrain and supervise the battle, he encountered an ambush by a team of Song soldiers who came out to pick up the leaks. The next day, Empress Dowager Xiao personally sent her coffin back to Liao, and the court was dismissed for five days, which shows the importance she attaches to it. It is precisely because of Xiao Darin's death that "The Alliance of the Abyss" was achieved.

After his death, his son Xiao Qiaogu was promoted to the position of commander of the army in Nanjing. This time, when he heard that Xiao Yunjin was going to invade the Song Kingdom in the south, he immediately ran to ask for war, vowing to set foot in the Song Kingdom, avenge his unjustly killed father, and save his family's reputation. For the person who responded to his call so quickly, Xiao Yunjin was of course very happy, and immediately promoted him to an official and put him under Xiao Xianxian's account as a pioneer general. In her opinion, his father is so good, and he must not be far worse as a son.

Xiao Xiaoxian still cares about this benevolent brother out of respect for his predecessors, but war is not child's play, he is not as reckless as Xiao Xunbu, so he comforted: "Rough Gu, this king knows that you are eager for revenge." But there is a saying in the Han soldier's book: soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored! Let's wait for this king to find out the military situation before making a decision! ”

Xiao Rugu: "King, what is there to check here!" Those soft eggs of the Song people know that they are hiding in the city and release cold arrows, and you can't find anything when you check it! ”

Xiao Xiaoxian: "What you say is biased, the Song people are indeed weak and bullying as you said, especially their civil ministers and emperors, we can do whatever we want to bully them." However, some of their generals are still good at fighting, although there are not many such generals, but they are all ghostly, and we suffer a lot of losses every time they cheat. I think your father was also a back then, but he still accidentally caught the way, so let's learn a lesson, so that we can really avenge your father, understand? ”

"The last general understands!" Xiao Rugu reluctantly responded.

Xiao Xiao saw his expression first, and shook his head slightly: "You go down to rest first, recuperate your spirits, and when this king finds out the military situation, I have to rely on you to charge into battle!" ”

Xiao Rugu: "The last general obeys orders!" ”

……

By the time the spies sent by Xiao Xiaoxian came back, it was already noon, and after extensive investigation, the military arrangements of the Song army had already been presented in front of him.

Although Xiao Xiaoxian didn't know what a sand table was, he could still make a few comparisons on the map, and as a general, such a little basic skill was a must. However, when he drew the distribution of the Song army's forces on the map, he frowned.

When Xiao Xiaogu heard that the spies had returned, he came uninvited, and happened to see Xiao Xiaoxian frowning there, so he hurried over and asked, "King, but what kind of moth is there in Song Jun?" Wait for the young general to destroy them! ”

Xiao Xiaoxian shook his head: "That's not the case, on the contrary, this time Song Jun doesn't seem to be playing any tricks!" Come and see, this is what the spies have come to do. The number of troops of the Song army in the city is unknown, but they also arranged about 20,000 people between Waqiao Pass and Yijin Pass, and all of them were infantry, what is the use of putting 20,000 people in this place? ”

Xiao Rugu: "20,000 infantry? If you still have such a place where there is no shop in front of the village and behind it, wouldn't you be looking for death! The young general will lead people to destroy them! ”

"Wait!" Xiao Xiao grabbed him first: "Think about it again, we all know such an obvious truth, shouldn't the generals of the Song Army not know it?" ”

Xiao Gugu: "King, do you want to say that this is a trick of the Song army, and you want to lure us into the bait, do you mean that they have an ambush?" ”

Xiao Xiaoxian: "Here's the problem, our spies have explored all the places within a radius of ten miles, but they haven't found any shadows of other Song troops!" ”

Xiao Langgu slapped the table: "King, we don't care so much, wait for the young general to take the cavalry of the headquarters to explore first, see what the hell they have ideas, if they really want to make it bad, don't you still have the king!" Do you think you want to do that? ”

"Okay!" Xiao Xiao thought about it for a while, and felt that this reckless man had a bit of truth no matter what the other party's idea was, he had to react when he went to stab a rod, as long as the other party reacted, he would be able to follow the steps step by step.

He continued: "You take 10,000 cavalry to the test, and you and the commander each lead 5,000 cavalry, one in front of the other and one behind each other, five miles apart, and if the situation changes, cover each other's retreat, and don't make mistakes!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Xiao Langgu happily replied.

……

Xiao Zhugu ordered a cavalry team of 10,000 people, and after discussing it with the commander of the cavalry team, he followed what Xiao Xiaoxian said, and rushed towards the 3rd Army of the Qinglong Legion stationed between Waqiao Pass and Yijin Pass.

Xiao Xiao was slightly relieved to see that he had not violated his arrangement, but he still asked the other cavalry team of 10,000 people to be prepared, just in case.

The movement of the cavalry of the Liao army, after a burst of flying pigeon transmission, soon reached the hands of Wang Chao, the general of Waqiao Pass, and Qi Luosheng, the commander of the 3rd Army of the Qinglong Army (referred to as the 3rd Army of the Qinglong Army).

The 3rd Army of the Blue Dragon was stationed in a temporary small camp, almost all of which were made of wooden stakes splashed with water, and in addition to being able to resist the impact of cavalry, it actually did not have much defensive ability. However, this was enough in Qi Luosheng's opinion, if it weren't for the charge of the opponent's cavalry, he wouldn't even bother to build this wooden village.

"Order the whole army, 10,000 cavalry of the Liao army, attack me in two groups, prepare for battle!" Qi Luosheng put down the information and shouted to the staff officer next to him.

"Yes!" The staff officer also answered excitedly.

For soldiers at this time, the ideology of the country and the nation has not yet been fully integrated into their bodies and minds, and it may be one of their goals to earn money to support their families. However, relying on that military salary alone, even if Zhao Zhen has improved their treatment, it is still difficult to make his family live a better life.

As a result, the military merit rewards and confiscation that accompanied the war. Originally, before that, the things confiscated by the soldiers were handed over to the public in proportion, and the compensation after death depended on whether they were lucky or not, whether they had a conscience and a righteous boss. After Zhao Zhen promulgated the new military regulations, all captured goods were uniformly distributed, and the sacrificed or wounded soldiers were favored, and other aspects were also taken care of. This has made many soldiers who think they are "cheap" have a little more idea of fighting with their lives, and plan to use their "cheap lives" to give their families a chance to turn over.

An army that is not afraid of death is terrible, and a well-armed soldier who is not afraid of death is even more terrible. Now that Xiao Langgu has encountered such a branch, it can only be said that his luck is really not good, and it is a sadness to be born at the wrong time!

Because Xiao Langgu was more anxious, he ran ahead with 5,000 men and horses, and the captain still followed him closely in strict accordance with Xiao Xiaoxian's orders.

Qiluosheng's hastily constructed camp has no terrain on all sides to take advantage of. He had no choice but to arrange two or two brigades on all sides, leaving one brigade as a reserve, and concentrated the whole army of 200 bed crossbows on the earthen platform in the center of the wall.

After he finished assigning, Xiao Rugu also rushed to him with his people, this goods took a cursory look at the situation of the Song army, and saw that the other party was only two meters high wooden wall, and couldn't help but despise the Song army a little in his heart.

"Brothers, rush! Kill the Song Army! Xiao Rugu didn't wait for his little friend, howled, and rushed out first.

He dared to attack a camp of 20,000 people with 5,000 men, even if the people were relatively "weak", there were so many people! I really don't know whether to call him stupid or say that he is courageous!

And Song Jun, this Qiluosheng, was really taken aback by his strength, he had fought with Liao State many times before, and he had to suffer a loss every time, and after a long time, there was naturally a shadow in his heart. And since the change of clothes, at most I have played drills, and I have not participated in actual combat, so it would be a lie to say that I am not nervous.

However, at present, there are such fellow brothers who are looking at him, and whether he can sit in the position of commander depends on the present day. No matter, for the glory and wealth of the future, this one will be out of the way, fight!

After making up his mind, Qi Luosheng meditated in his heart about what the instructor taught during training, and then shouted loudly: "Colleagues, the barbarians of the Liao Kingdom have bullied me very much, today is the day of our shame, everyone cheer up, use what we have learned in the past few years, let those Liao barbarians taste our power!"
