The famous general Guo Shouwen was seriously ill and died at the end of the year, but it was not a loss, and his daughter became the second queen of Song Zhenzong in the future. Moreover, Xiao Xiaopan's well-behaved beauty and Guo's virtuousness left a deep impression on Xiao Zhao San, so the pretty Sichuan little woman in Zhang Qi's family looked through the autumn water......

But Zhenzhou sent another brave general, Kong Shouzheng, a fierce and famous general in Shiling Pass, and Fan Tingzhao. On the Dingzhou side, there are Li Jilong, Li Jixuan, as well as Pei Ji, Tian Minfu, and the Jingsai army is fierce, but the equipment is too heavy and the flexibility is insufficient, and this battle is no longer useful.

However, due to the transfer of Song Jiu, there was a new change, that is, 10,000 cavalry increased to Hebei and scattered in various defense areas on the front line. At the same time, after the two battles, the people were killed and wounded, but the Song Dynasty got a large number of war horses, and the Hebei Song army got a large number of temporary cavalry.

It doesn't matter how good the riding skills are, but at the beginning of this battle, Li Jilong only arranged 10,000 people, all cavalry!

Or cavalry!

Can you imagine how much damage the northwest will cause to the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty army once it becomes an independent Western Xia state?

Even if possible, because of the increase in the proportion of cavalry, some troops can be sent from Suicheng Liangmen Baozhou at any time to use the speed of cavalry to quickly cooperate with the battle.

The army led by Yelu Hugo is even more impressive, and in addition to Huluduo and Tielinzi, the Liao State also has a strong army, that is, the Pi Room Army, Hu Lu Duo is the royal army, Tie Linzi is a heavy cavalry, and the Pi Mu Army is the Guards.

This leather room army was divided into two armies, the north and the south, and the southern army was in Youzhou.

In order to ensure the victory of this battle, Yelu Hugo brought out all the leather rooms of the Southern Army. and other elite iron cavalry, a total of 30,000 cavalry, and nearly 20,000 auxiliary members, so the number of Liao army has always made it very difficult for the scouts who reconnoitred at the front. For example, in the Battle of Yanmen, there were only 10,000 regular soldiers, and the actual real cavalry was 30,000, plus some miscellaneous soldiers, totaling 566,700 soldiers and horses, and Liao said that it was 10,000 troops for a while. A moment it was said that it was a hundred thousand troops. It is for this reason. This time it was also very confusing, and the scout would say that it was 30,000 troops, but it must be more than 30,000 troops, so he said 80,000 troops. Eighty thousand troops did not. The total number of troops is less than 50,000.

But no matter how much. Jeruxiugo has an absolute advantage in terms of troops.

In fact, because of the two wars, the consumption was too great. The forbidden army of the Song Dynasty has not been replenished, and the entire Hebei army has been calculated from Sanguan to the rear. Even the garrison of the Daimyo's Mansion was less than 100,000 people.

……

If there really is such a food team, then it will definitely be robbed by Jeruxiu. It's too slow.

He was gathering the army at a rapid pace, and the soldiers were moving fast, such a large-scale army movement, if it was slow, it would be noticed by the Song scouts, then it would be a failure, but he didn't think of failure this time.

Tens of thousands of troops sped south.

If it succeeds, then the garrisons of Liangmen and Weilu's army must have retreated due to food shortages. Then a typical classic battle of robbing the grain road and defeating the army happened again. Even if this Song army withdraws quickly, it can also allow itself to remove the two nails in front of the Dingzhou Gate.

……

Or if there was no Song Jiu, Li Jilong would have to keep his head down and go it alone, at most the Zhenzhou Front Army, which had a good relationship with him, would cooperate.

With Song Jiu, and Song Jiu seemed to be gradually letting go of the unlimited right to fire at him, Li Jilong tentatively wrote a letter and sent it to Xifu quickly: I want rights!

Song Jiu received the letter and went to find Zhao Kuangyi.

Zhao Kuangyi hesitated for a moment.

Don't think that brother-in-law, brother-in-law should be more guarded.

Therefore, no matter how much fancy Zhang Xun and Wang Yuyan talked about, it was impossible for Zhao Kuangyi to let two large towns in Hedong and Hebei have more than 100,000 troops each.

However, Song Jiu said: "A month, such as the Northern Expedition." ”

Zhao Kuangyi finally agreed.

Song Jiu said: "Quickly issue an edict." ”

"How to give an edict."

"How did the edict from His Majesty give the minister to Hebei to help the emergency, then how to issue it now, but note one point, until the Liao army is defeated."

"What if Jeruhugo doesn't send troops?"

"Then it's a drill."

Zhao Kuangyi finally issued an edict.

Song Jiudao: "Deliver it to all parts of the front line with special feet." ”

Then run, the five edicts, Zhenzhou, Dingzhou, in fact, it doesn't matter if these two states are not lower, there are also soldiers from Xiongzhou, Gaoyangguan, and Mozhou.

With the special foot delivery, there is no so-called middle envoy, but through various post stations, changing people and horses, and quickly descending forward.

Run.

……

Some people say that the first person to say a novel idea may be a genius, the second person who follows the trend is just a mediocre person, and the third person who follows the trend is just a fool.

In fact, Yelu Hugo's tactic of robbing the grain road is not a clever tactic.

But he was lucky to run into someone even more stupid than him.

Although Song Jiu was unable to see through such tactics, he had long seen the importance of grain and grass, as well as the terrain of Gu'an, and it was Li Jilong.

But Yelu Hugo sat on the throne of the gods, a little fluttering like a fairy, and gradually began to soar through the clouds, I don't know why.

Before sending troops, he stubbornly believed that the Battle of the Tang River was only an occasional explosion of character of the Song army, and except for a group of soldiers who did not want to die to fight a classic counterattack battle, he did not see any tactical cleverness of Li Jilong.

Jeruxiugo marched south in a menacing manner.

However, the scout came back to report a very bad news, Li Jilong had completed the task of transporting grain to the Weilu army and was returning to Dingzhou.

What's going on?

Actually, it's a mental battle.

Li Jilong got the idea that the Weilu army was short of food, and he knew that he would send food, and Yelu Hugo would inevitably come to fight the idea of this grain team.

So what to do, Li Jilong thought back and forth, and finally came up with an idea, then simply make a big statement, the Weilu army is short of food, go to the imperial court, and prepare grain and grass in the rear, of course, it also reaches the ears of Yelu Xiuge.

As for the news heard by the scouts sent by Jelu Huge, half of it was true, and half of it was false, it was really a shortage of food to send food, and the fake was that the whereabouts and dates of the food delivery team were wrong.

Even now the news that Jeruhuko hears is false. Li Jilong was moving in the direction of Dingzhou, but instead of hurriedly hearing about the withdrawal of the Liao army, he turned the Xu River and prepared to fight Yelu Hugo on the north bank of the Tang River.

After receiving this half-truth, Yelu Hugo was very unwilling. Also, how much combat effectiveness can the food protection team have? Therefore, after Yelu Hugo scolded the scout who had inquired about the news, he quickly led tens of thousands of elite cavalry to pursue the southward return, the so-called nearly 10,000 Song troops who were said to be relatively weak in combat effectiveness.

However, due to the slow pace of action. When Jeruxiu chased him to the north bank of the Xu River. Li Jilong had already led this "weak brigade" across the Xu River and continued to slowly withdraw to the Tang River.

"Chase!"

Jeruhugo shouted.

They can't be allowed to cross the Tang River, if that is the case, the main Song army on the Dingzhou side will go out of the city to rescue, and the two armies will be united. That's not going to be easy. Fortunately, the Xu River was crossed. Between the Xu River and the Tang River is an open area.

The three armies quickly crossed the Xu River. Soon the scouts heard that there was a small group of 1,000 Song cavalry ahead.

When Jeruxiu heard this, he first asked for the flag.

The scout said it was Yin.

The Song Dynasty had those important generals on the front line, and Yelu Huge still knew the way. There are not many generals surnamed Yin on the front line, and there is only one named Yin Jilun who knows about the Dao. Except for the gathering of troops in Xiongzhou that year, but they never dared to send troops to rescue, there was no other dazzling performance. So Yelu Hugo ordered the Liao army not to entangle with this small force. It's not worth it, wait until the large army in front of you is annihilated, and then it's not too late to clean you up. In this way, tens of thousands of troops were obviously aware of the existence of these thousand Song troops, but they turned a blind eye and roared past them.

Why is Yin Jilun here?

Li Jilong was in charge of grain, but he expected that Yelu Hugo would pursue, so the amount of grain and grass escorted was not as much as advertised to the outside world.

Then it was estimated that the Liao scouts had received the information, and suddenly sped up their speed and sent this small amount of grain and grass to the Weilu army first, so that they could temporarily save the emergency. Then he quickly led his army away from the Weilu army, quickly crossed the Xu River, and reached the north bank of the Tang River.

After all, for the time being, he has very few troops in his hands, and if he fights between Tang and Xu, the chances of victory are not great, and he must return to the banks of the Tang River to fight, although he is not at all the so-called weak Song army in his hands.

Yelu Xiuge let him attract him, but Yelu Xiuge chased too closely, and Li Jilong himself became very nervous when he was arraying on the north bank of the Tang River, so he asked Yin Jilun to lead a thousand Song cavalry to set up an ambush between Xu and Tang, the main intention was to win this formation time.

How to fight, Li Jilong couldn't guess what happened later, so he didn't give careful instructions.

However, Yin Jilun didn't expect his so-called ambush, which was immediately detected by the Liao army, and deliberately roared past him, and his face turned purple. However, he has a big black face, and others can't see it at all.

Yin Jilun, who was full of blood, felt that he had been slapped in the face and was swollen.

What should I do if I get swollen in the face? Is it necessary to send a diplomat to protest?

Of course, Yin Jilun will not do that.

He gathered a thousand of his subordinates, pointed in the direction of the Liao army's departure, and said indignantly: "The Liao army just regarded us as fish and meat, and cut us if they wanted, and cut them if they wanted, which is too contemptuous of our combat effectiveness and courage. If we stay where we are, if the Liao army goes south and wins, they will turn around and force us to the north, or even to the Liao border, and completely annihilate us in the Liao territory. If the Liao army loses the battle in the south, even if they lose as many soldiers and horses as they did in last year's battle, but there is still a large army in their hands that has not been annihilated, they will use us to vent their anger in the process of fleeing, and then none of us will be able to reach Dingzhou alive. So we sit back and wait, it is better to take advantage of the Liao army to despise us, quietly follow behind the Liao army, wait for the fighter plane to appear, and surprise the Liao army with a blow. If this blow is successful, then we are the heroes of the country. Even if he dies in an unsuccessful battle, he will be regarded as a loyal person who sacrificed his life for the country, and being a ghost is also a loyal ghost of the country. If we wait for death, then we will be rushed to the Liao realm by the Liao army, and we can only become lonely ghosts and wild ghosts wandering in Hudi! ”

In fact, Yin Jilun is not right, there is another way, that is, to evacuate, anyway, he only has a thousand people in his hands, and he is not the kind of Jingsai army armed to the teeth.

But in that case, Yin Jilun may also be nailed to the bronze pillar of shame for the rest of his life.

However, the soldier did not know what to do.

Is it to be a loyal ghost, or to be a Hudi ghost.

Anyway, it's better to die vigorously!

The biggest group of madmen in the Song Dynasty appeared, it was not Yang Ye, Yang Ye's main credit was to kill the main general at Yanmen Pass, and capture the deputy general alive. At that time, the light cavalry under his command was far several times more than Yin Jilun, at least several thousand people. Moreover, the Panmei infantry phalanx in front was fighting a miserable battle with the Liao army, rolling up the Liao army.

And Yin Jilun only has a thousand light horsemen, and seems to be a lone army in the true sense.

But these 1,000 people made Yin Jilun fan the flames, and immediately turned into a thousand Yin Jilun and a thousand madmen, who asked to go to war.

How can you become a Buddha without falling into demons?

But this is a terrible bunch of incomparably cool-headed madmen.

A thousand soldiers have expressed their willingness to fight to the death with the Liao army, as for what will happen to a thousand people rushing into the tens of thousands of Liao army's elite cavalry, and what brilliant achievements Yelu Xiuge has, no one thinks seriously about it at all.

Just as night fell, Yin Jilun ordered every soldier to wrap the horse's hooves, stuff the horse and chew, and be careful not to make a noise from the weapon in his hand, so he tiptoed on the Liao army for dozens of miles, but did not let the Liao army notice. It was not until it was dark that the five fingers could not be seen that the troops stopped and settled only five miles away from the Liao army camp.

In fact, in addition to Yin Jilun's thousand-man team, there is also an ambush army, Li Jilong asked Kong Shouzheng to take the men and horses to ambush in the Cao River north of the Xu River, it should be the Song army's luck this time, Kong Shouzheng's ambush soldiers did not notice that Yin Jilun's 1,000 soldiers Yelu Xiuge actually disdained it in order to grab time, so that Yin Jilun kept hanging behind.

Yin Jilun did not attack at night, but he could not attack at night, whether it was the Liao State or the Song Dynasty, the soldiers gradually attached importance to the food of the soldiers, and the soldiers of the two countries did not have blue blindness due to lack of vitamins, so night battles were commonplace.

But Yelu Hugo himself is a master of night warfare, and preventing night attacks is also one of Yelu Hugo's strengths, and the withdrawal of Song Jiu is also a history of night raids and counter-night raids, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the two armies, and the battlefield has been paved for miles anytime and anywhere, all the way in the slow advance of the Song army, day and night.

Therefore, a night attack is an irrational approach, and in the face of Li Jilong's main Song army, Yelu Xiuge will not fail to prevent Li Jilong from attacking at night.

Yin Jilun gave an order and slept all.

A thousand soldiers fell asleep five miles away from the Liao army camp.

In Xutang Pingchuan in the north in July, there are not many mosquitoes, and the night breeze is blowing, which is a good time to sleep.

Let's all sleep together, completely ignoring the distance of five miles, which is only the distance of the cavalry for a moment.

After the fourth watch, a group of madmen who wanted to be loyal and righteous ghosts began to eat dry food, deep sleep and this meal replenished all the physical strength consumed during the day, and a group of soldiers of the Song Dynasty who were recuperated and then sat there quietly looking at the sky.

The sky began to get dark.

Yin Jilun said: "Get on the horse." ”

A thousand madmen rushed towards the tens of thousands of Liao troops without hesitation.

The target, the big tent of the Chinese army where Yelu Hugo is located! (To be continued......)
