Chapter 212

Xu Shiming, Sun Guangxian and Feng Dao heard this, and the emperor's voice had already revealed that he wanted to rescue Fuzhou, and as the emperor said, whether to save or not, the war between the Ming State and the Liao State was inevitable, but it was saved, with the current situation and strength, the Ming State was unable to go north, and the Liao State was even more unable to go south.

Just as the Ming State destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, didn't the Liao State also have no military actions except for playing tricks.

Baili Wuji glanced at the three of them and continued: "Three Aiqing, I heard a story when I was a child, there was a person, his neighbor was a wicked person, every time he went out to meet a neighbor, if the neighbor was in a bad mood, he would be bullied by the neighbor, in order not to be bullied, when this person met the neighbor in a bad mood, he tried all means, or gave gifts or flattered faces or begged for mercy, to no avail. Finally, this person couldn't bear it anymore, and went out to carry a stick that day, and the neighbor happened to be in a bad mood and rushed up to bully him, so the person waved the stick and beat the neighbor with a blue nose and swollen face. Ladies and gentlemen, I want Ming Guo to be the one who wields the stick, not the one who looks at the face of the Liao State. ”

Xu Shiming, Sun Guangxian and Feng Dao are all human spirits, how dare they mention another word of not rescue?

Baili Wuji said: "However, I think that now is indeed not the time to tear up the skin with the Liao State, can the three Aiqing have a way to let the Ming Kingdom not violate the peace treaty but also rescue Fuzhou?" ”

Xu Shiming pondered: "If you don't violate the peace treaty, it can only be if the court doesn't give an order, and if the court doesn't give an order, then no Ming army can send troops without authorization." The matter ...... Difficult. ”

Sun Guangxian said: "The minister thinks that he can buy the bandits to rescue the state. In this way, Ming Guo is not considered a breach of contract. ”

Baili Wuji heard the music, this method is good, and asked: "Sun Xiang, do you know how there are groups of bandits?" ”

"Uh......." Sun Guangxian was stunned. The people of this Ming country live and work in peace and contentment, how can there be a group of bandits? There are just two groups of people, and the number of people is only a few dozen, how can they organize an army of tens of thousands.

Seeing this, Baili Wuji slandered in his heart, but his heart flashed, right. Aren't there any examples of volunteers?

But then Baili Wuji felt that it could not be implemented, and the Ming army forbidden army had become accustomed to using firearms, and the equipment ration had grenades. If a grenade is used, doesn't that mean that it is clearly telling the Liao State that the Ming State has entered the war? You can not use grenades, with the equipment of the Ming army. Did Makotsu take a saber to fight the cavalry?

Feng Dao opened his mouth at this time and suggested, "Your Majesty." If you want to achieve your goal, there is a way. ”

Baili Wuji hurriedly said: "Feng Xiang, please speak." ”

Feng Dao said: "The emperor captured Hezhong, and there were 30,000 people in the 12th Army in Shizhou, as far as the minister knows, this army has not met with the Liao army, and they are all locals, if this army is disguised as the Zhou army, it can hide people's eyes and ......ears." ”

Baili Wuji was overjoyed when he heard this. Yes, I forgot about Yang Ye's Twelfth Army. After the reorganization of this team, the old and weak were removed, and the number of people was reduced from more than 40,000 to 30,000, of which more than half were Yang Ye's old troops.

Then he sent a messenger from the second route to Shizhou and Taiyuan with a secret order, and ordered Chen Yanzheng of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to send 20,000 remnants of the Eighth Army to Taiyuan with carrier pigeons, in case of contingency. The Eighth Army was originally under the command of Liu Renzhen, after Liu Renzhen was martyred, its 20,000 remnants have been left in Yanyun, and now Yanyun's troops are too concentrated, Chen Yanzheng's 30,000 troops, plus the newly formed 50,000 recruit cavalry, to reach 100,000 people, Baili Wuji transferred the 8th Army 20,000 to Taiyuan at this time, because after the Shizhou Yang Ye garrison moved westward, only 30,000 people of Ding Siji's Fourth Army were stationed in the twelve states of Taiyuan, and the strength was too weak.

The 12th Army stationed in Shizhou immediately quietly waved westward, and sent people to contact Fuzhou, and after arriving in Fuzhou, the whole army changed into Zhou army clothes to assist in the defense of Fuzhou.

At the same time, Baili Wuji ordered Ding Siji's subordinate to temporarily transfer 5,000 soldiers to Shizhou to take over Yang Ye's defense.

The next day, Baili Wuji clearly responded to the Liao envoy that the Ming State would not participate in the Fuzhou war, but set the bottom line, after the Liao army captured Fuzhou, it was not allowed to continue to attack Linzhou in the south.

A series of countries secretly contacted and negotiated, and Chai Rong, who personally led the Northern Expedition, did not know it.

The next day, at dawn, the armies of Zhou and Dingnan fought fiercely again by the Wuding River.

Due to the arrangement of the left and right armies of the Zhou army last night, today's Dingyan Army and the left and right armies do not have the majesty of yesterday at all, and the armies on both sides of the Zhou army have also promoted the ability to attack forward because of the defensive arrangement, and the two wings of the two armies have fallen into a stalemate.

In the middle of the Zhou army, Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng En each led 5,000 forbidden troops to launch a surprise attack on the Dingyan army, and Xiang Xun led 10,000 cavalry as backup.

In the front, there were generals who took the lead, and then the emperor came to supervise the battle, and the soldiers of the Zhou army rushed to the Dingyan army like a tiger descending from the mountain.

The Dingyan army yesterday with 30,000 against more than 50,000, although a small victory, but also lost 5,000 people, the strength has dropped a lot compared with yesterday, and now encountered the Zhou army such a desperate attack, and the left and right wings of the cavalry did not make the slightest progress, the middle of the Dingyan army began to be unable to withstand the formation, the formation began to retreat continuously, this retreat is not really retreating, but against the front of the two armies is constantly being consumed, one of the sides of the substitute speed can not keep up, the front line is swallowed by the other side caused by the illusion.

Li Yiyu is also a veteran general of the Dingyan Army, and he is very experienced, and he saw that the middle route army had signs of collapse, and the left and right flanks made no progress, so he hurriedly gathered the rear of the left and right route armies and enriched the middle route army.

This method cannot be used by the infantry, because the infantry is slow, and when the infantry runs, the middle lane has collapsed, and the infantry has consumed at least half of its physical strength after this run, how to resist the enemy's assault?

But the cavalry is different, it already has good mobility, and with a command, in a single breath, thousands of cavalry were added to the middle of the Dingyan army.

In this way, the front was slowly pushed back by the Commander Army.

Chai Rong was anxious, he didn't expect that this war would be a war of attrition at the beginning.

Although this war of attrition was not good for the Dingyan army, because Dingyan only had five states, few soldiers and poor people, it was even more unfavorable to the Zhou army.

If the Zhou army consumes its strength here, it goes without saying attacking Xiazhou, even if it attacks Suizhou in front, it will have no strength.

Chai Rong gritted his gums, and with the respect of the emperor, he rushed to the middle with hundreds of guards.

This battlefield is not a drill, Chai Rong's disregard, although risky, but it greatly boosted morale, the soldiers of the Zhou army began to die one by one, and the advantage that Li Yiyu had just generated from the thousands of cavalry adjusted from the two roads was neutralized.

Moreover, this time the front of the Dingyan army retreated faster, and the original numerical advantage was in the Zhou army, but now, the two wings of the Zhou army also withdrew the gun array at the same time, extinguished the fire wall and obstacles that separated the Dingyan cavalry in the middle, and launched a counter-charge against the Dingnan cavalry.
