[The previous chapter has not been reviewed because it has not been reviewed, and it took one paragraph after another to find the problem, so it was delayed for two days, and it will be reissued today, please support \(^o^)/ a lot~]
Xiao Yunjin thought that her movements were very secretive, but she didn't know that every time her troops moved, there were some eyes staring in the dark, and soon after that, there was a straightforward desk.
This is all due to the fact that since Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, he has been vigorously building his own intelligence system and spy system, and his resources have even exceeded those in armaments and scientific and technological research and development, because intelligence can produce unexpected amplification effects in the era of highly underdeveloped information. Just like this battle that took place in the Sanguan of the Song Kingdom, in addition to the secret disc of the Guoan Temple to directly obtain intelligence from within the Liao State, there are also spies from the newly established Military Intelligence Bureau jumping up and down in the Liao State. In addition, there are special combat teams walking through the darkness and scouts moving with the army in the perimeter of the battlefield.
Relatively speaking, the intelligence sources of the Liao army are much simpler, almost all of them rely on the reconnaissance cavalry of the army to investigate, and if they are unlucky, they will be intercepted and killed by the special combat team. Although there is also a magical animal such as Haidongqing in Liao, due to the limitation of its rarity, it cannot be used in large quantities like carrier pigeons. Of course, this is also the usual way to play in the era of information backwardness, and it is also a place to reflect the ability of an outstanding general.
Based on the above reasons, the intelligence system of the Liao army can be said to be far behind that of the Song State, and this gap in consciousness is far more serious than the gap in weapons.
Xiao Yunjin and her subordinates didn't know that the little emperor of the Song Kingdom was a freak who had crossed over after a thousand years, and they also liked to shamelessly "play" with their aborigines. The next morning, when she woke up from Yelu San's arms, she found that piles of Song troops had appeared behind her at some point, and she didn't understand why so many Song troops suddenly appeared. Even she, a person who doesn't understand military affairs, understands that she is surrounded by the Song army today, so the question is, why do so many Song troops mobilize themselves without knowing it? And where did his army on the left run?
The first question! That was the result of hundreds of special combat members of the two special combat teams staying up all night, and all the troops involved in the encirclement also rushed overnight, sometimes scattered into zero, sometimes gathered into groups, and these are all things that require professional training in order to be able to do it without knowing it!
And her second question, then she can only blame herself for not knowing anyone, finding a little brother and putting her together at a critical time. Maybe it was because Xiao Xiaoxian was not very satisfied with the position that Xiao Yunjin arranged for him, or maybe he was keenly aware that Xiao Yunjin's trip was over, and when he received Xiao Yunjin's edict, he did not hurriedly take his cavalry to converge, but kept an eye to observe the movements of the defenders in Waqiao Pass. The hard work paid off, and the people he sent out still had a fish that slipped through the net under the interception and killing of the special combat team, and let him know the news of the defenders in Waqiao Pass. Although he didn't know why the Song army was pulling out at night, and he didn't know what their purpose was, from what he knew about the situation of his Chinese army, the Song army was so mysterious and mysterious in addition to the big victory, and the cliff didn't have any good intentions!
In order to prevent his remnants of his belongings from becoming the target of the Song army, Xiao Xiaoxian decisively retreated thirty miles overnight with his subordinates. This can make Wang Chao depressed to death, he originally planned to wait for tomorrow's battle, and cooperate with the friendly army to eat Xiao Xiaoxian's department in one bite, but he didn't expect this old boy to be so timid!
All in all, Zhe Weizheng has made a bloody investment this time, and a total of 7 armies, including the White Tiger 1st Army, the White Tiger 3rd Army, the White Tiger 4th Army, the Qinglong 1st Army, the Qinglong 3rd Army, the Qinglong 4th Army and the Qinglong Cavalry Army, totaled 140,000 troops, and surrounded the remaining 60,000 troops of the Liao Army's middle route army in a triangle.
When Xiao Yunjin's spies looked around and found that they were already under siege, Xiao Yunjin finally panicked, and pulled Yelu and asked anxiously, "What should I do?" We're surrounded, what should we do? What to do......"
"Queen Mother, don't worry! Calm down! Yelu Sanyan was busy thinking about countermeasures while comforting Xiao Yunjin.
He couldn't understand why the Song army, which had been guarding the city in a regular manner, completed the siege of himself last night without warning, was it because yesterday's violation of the agreement angered the Song army?
Well, there is a possibility!
But what do you do now? Could it be that this fanfare expedition to the south is coming to an end here?
To be honest, he was a little unwilling, this time was a great time for him to become famous all over the world, and if it worked well, maybe there would be other surprises.
But reality shattered his illusions, and a Xiao Yunjin's personal guard ran in: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, the spies are coming to report, just now the gate of Yijin Pass suddenly opened, and the Song army is pulling out of the city one after another, and the Song army in other directions is also approaching our army, as if they are going to attack our army, please make it clear to the Queen Mother!" ”
Xiao Yunjin forcibly sent the guards away, grabbed Yelu and asked again, "Sanyi, have you come up with it?" Song Jun has already moved, we don't have much time! ”
In the end, Yelu Sanyan finally defeated the ** with reason, and made up his mind: "The king of the Southern Courtyard failed to arrive on time, presumably there must have been an accident." And now that the Song army is surrounding us with twice as many troops as mine, judging from the combat effectiveness of the Song army observed in the past few days, it is not a big deal for us to defeat them now. And you can't take risks with your ten thousand times, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better to break through the siege first, leave the green mountains without fear of no firewood, and wait for the next day we will gather a large army to crusade again, what do you think? ”
At this time, Xiao Yunjin wanted to run away quickly, and hurriedly said: "Listen to you, go and clean up, let's run back now!" ”
Yelu said: "Queen Mother, we can't run back!" At least not now! ”
Xiao Yunjin: "Why? ”
Yelu said: "Queen Mother, what do you think!" The Song army spent so much effort to surround us, they definitely didn't want us to escape back, then they must have also deployed a large number of troops in our rear. Therefore, we have to do the opposite and break through from the side to the direction of the silt pass, so that we can rely on the speed of our cavalry to leave the Song army behind, and even play with them appropriately! ”
Xiao Yunjin was slightly stunned: "It's still thoughtful, the mourning family has decided, just do as you say, immediately gather the cavalry to prepare to break through, and the infantry will be thrown here to buy us time!" ”
Yelu said: "The Queen Mother is wise! ”
……
Originally, Yang Jinhua wanted to participate in this hunting operation, but Zhi Weizheng refused her request on the grounds of safety, and left her in Yijin Pass. In view of her disobedience, Zhi Weizheng decided to stay and watch her himself for the sake of safety, and sent Di Qing as the specific commander of this hunting activity.
Therefore, this will be Zhi Weizheng and Yang Jinhua both on the city tower holding clairvoyance from time to time to look at the battlefield not far away, while Zhang Yaozuo is constantly courteous on the side, since Yang Jinhua came, he has been circling in front of her, for fear that Yang Jinhua will not see him.
Although the Song army surrounded the Liao army in a triangular formation, this was only a battle situation, and it did not mean that the Song army could encircle the Liao army seamlessly. However, with the compression of the enclosing space, the gap between these joints is indeed getting smaller and smaller, and it will not be long before the real encirclement can be completed.
Of course, it is not enough to just encircle, but also to withstand the counterattack of the Liao army to achieve the goal.
"Lord Zhe, do you think we can really catch the Xiao family's mother-in-law this time?" Yang Jinhua put down her clairvoyance and asked Zhi Weizheng.
Zhi Weizheng: "It's hard to say, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can control it 100%. Although our army has now surrounded the Liao army, after all, there are still 50,000 or 60,000 people, if we insist on fighting to the death, it is not impossible to open a gap! ”
At this time, Zhang Yaozuo saw that the Liao army was starting to commotion, and hurriedly reminded: "Guifei Niangniang, look, the Liao army is about to run away." ”
When Yang Jinhua and Zhi Weizheng heard this, they quickly picked up their clairvoyance and looked at the Liao army camp ten miles away. Although this clairvoyant shouting is relatively simple now, the movements of such a large group of Liao troops ten miles away can still be seen clearly. I saw that less than 50,000 cavalry of the Liao army rushed out of the camp one after another, and did not break through from the rear like Zhi Weizheng thought, but rushed directly in the direction of Yijin Pass, and the remaining more than 10,000 infantry of the Liao army began to break through to the left.
"What tricks is Liao Jun playing? Surrounded and still playing division? Yang Jinhua looked at the movements of the Liao army very incomprehensibly.
Zhi Weizheng was also confused: "The minister didn't understand it!" Do you have any thoughts? ”
Zhang Yaozuo pointed to the Liao army infantry moving to the left and said, "Guifei Niangniang, Lord Zhe, do you see if there is a big carriage among those Liao army infantry?" ”
"Really!" Yang Jinhua didn't think about it and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhang Yaozuo: "If you go back to Niangniang, if Weichen is not mistaken, that carriage should be the car of the Queen Mother of Liao!" ”
Yang Jinhua frowned: "You mean that those Liao army infantry are escorting the Empress Dowager of Liao to break through, and these cavalry are here to attract our attention?" ”
Zhang Yaozuo: "Niang Niang is wise! Chen thinks this is very possible, otherwise why don't these cavalry just run back, but rush towards our level! They just wanted to create the illusion that they were going to attack the city, and force our troops to come back to help, so as to create an opportunity for those infantry to break through. Moreover, let's not forget that there is also the left army of the Liao army on the left, and they may have done this to join their left army. ”
Yang Jinhua looked at Zhi Weizheng: "Lord Zhe, what do you think?" ”
Zhi Weizheng: "Niangniang, the minister also feels that what Lord Zhang has gained has a certain reason, according to the current battlefield situation, if the minister is in the position of the Liao army, he will also think of joining the side army." What's more, their queen mother is still in the army, and it makes sense to sacrifice cavalry to cover their queen mother's breakthrough. ”
Yang Jinhua: "Then do you want to give General Di a wake-up call?" ”
Zhi Weizheng: "Niangniang, I'm afraid this is not good!" The ministers handed over all the pre-war commands to him, and it was a little awkward to meddle at this time! Besides, with General Di's ability, we should think of him when we think of him, let's sit and watch the play! ”
Yang Jinhua nodded: "You're right!" If you want to change this palace, I don't like others to interfere at this time, except for the emperor's brother, of course! ”
Zhi Weizheng was not wrong, Di Qing quickly saw a clue from the abnormal movements of the Liao army, and aimed at the pile of infantry, and immediately ordered the army to speed up the encirclement. At the same time, the Liao army also seemed to find that its purpose was discovered by the Song army, and hurriedly divided the cavalry into three. Some of them rushed to the left, as if to help the infantry; while some of them attacked to the right, intending to prevent the Song army on the right from participating in the encirclement; And the remaining part continues to hit Yijin Pass.
Di Qing saw the movements of the Liao army, and after a short period of confusion, he decided that those cavalry were playing tricks to attract targets, and their ultimate goal was to help the infantry break through. Therefore, this strengthened his previous thoughts, and identified that group of infantry as the most important target, and he must not let it go. After all, the queen mother of the Liao State, the de facto supreme controller of the Liao State, has a very heavy weight among the generals of the Song army, and Di Qing is also not exempt from vulgarity. If you have to choose between annihilating the enemy's living force and capturing the Queen Mother, all the generals, including Di Qing, will choose to capture the Queen Mother without hesitation.
Under the command of Di Qing, all units of the Song army unswervingly encircled the set goal, and resolutely did not give the "Empress Dowager Xiao" a chance to escape, even if the various cavalry detachments of the Liao army resisted to the death, they could not stop the pace of the Song army. After two hours of brutal fighting, of course, the cruelty here refers to the Liao army, and the desperate Liao army in the encirclement and their "Empress Dowager Xiao" finally chose to surrender, and the ending was basically a happy one.
The only fly in the ointment is that almost half of the cavalry broke out of the encirclement piecemeal in the process of the confrontation, and these cavalry did not turn back to save their "queen mother", and rode away one by one. But compared to catching the "Queen Mother" of Liao, these shrimp soldiers and crabs who slipped through the net are harmless, anyway, in Di Qing's opinion, sooner or later they will all be arrested, and they don't care about this time.
Seeing that the Liao soldiers in the encirclement all laid down their arms, Zhi Weizheng knew that the Sanguan Battle, which lasted for nearly half a month, was about to come to an end, and then it was the most exciting moment, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahaha...... Concubine Niangniang, let's go meet this distinguished guest! (To be continued.) )
