It is said that after the Battle of Wangdu last year, Comrade Feng Zheng, a "great military strategist and civil minister", had a whimsical idea and suggested that he should take advantage of the rush of the enemy and win the victory if he relied on the two rivers of Xu and Bao between the Wei and the captives of Baozhou.

So Comrade Zhao Heng processed it again and issued an edict.

Lingzhen, Ding, Gaoyang three road soldiers will know Dingzhou, the Tang River for the big array, measure the distance of Kou, go out of the army tree fence, Kou come, stick to do not chase, I believe that the Su Kou is tired, then the drum is challenged, do not leave the team, the value is heavy, and the enemy cavalry can not gallop through. He also divided his troops into three routes, with 6,000 cavalry troops led by Wei Neng, Bai Shousu, and Zhang Rui; 5,000 horsemen in Baozhou, led by Yang Yanlang, Zhang Yanxi, and Li Huaiqi; Five thousand horsemen rode to Pingzhai in Beiping, Tian Min, Zhang Ning, and Shi Yanfu led it to be a thief. From the beginning, don't fight, wait for its qi to fail, and challenge the city behind it, so that it will be exhausted. If the Khitan South Vietnam Baozhou meets the army, then the army of Wei Lu and Yan Lang will meet, so that they will be attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen, and they will be killed. If the Khitan does not attack Dingzhou and invades the south, then the reunited Beiping Tian Min will join forces to enter the northern boundary, invite him to carry his baggage, and Lingxiong, Ba, and Po have come to support each other. He also ordered Sun Quanzhao, Wang Dejun, and Pei Zirong to lead 8,000 troops to the border army of Tunning, and Li Chonggui, Zhao Shoulun, and Zhang Jimin to lead troops to 5,000 troops in Xingzhou, choking the east and west roads, and the enemy general fled, so that the Dingzhou army and the three-way cavalry would attack it.

This is the so-called Dingzhou Great Array.

But Song Jiu didn't make a sound.

Maybe he became the prime minister of Dongfu and didn't have much say in military affairs.

Miss Siu saw an opportunity.

She also saw many opportunities, such as the combat effectiveness of soldiers in Hebei, and Song Jiu proposed that recruits sometimes fuck up, don't look at hundreds of thousands of troops. If some of the recruits who are greedy for life and fear death escape, the whole army may be led to collapse by them.

Hence the hundreds of thousands of recruits recruited. Either to the north-west, or to the front.

Let them feel the atmosphere on the battlefield in advance.

So. It had to be reorganized constantly, and although Song Jiu was very careful to assist Xifu, there were still a lot of problems, and it looked a little chaotic.

In addition, several strong teams have been transferred to the northwest for training, and it seems that the combat effectiveness of the Song army is not very strong.

The battle of Wangdu gave Xiao Yanyan more confidence.

But it was also forced, even in history, Song Renzong was forced by Li Yuanhao, and Liao Xingzong immediately forced the Song Dynasty to increase the weight. Raise the New Year's coin, even if Song Shenzong said on his deathbed, whoever gets Yan Yun will worship the king with a different surname, even a lord like Song Huizong still wants to take back Yan Yun, no matter what he does right or wrong.

In history, the Liao State was very lucky, and the Western Xia contained the Song Dynasty.

But now that there is no Western Xia, in the internal governance of the Song Dynasty, an emperor is better than an emperor. If it is not resolved at this time, the descendants will fall. That was the side dish of the Song Dynasty.

So after several years of continuous testing, the general offensive began.

Not 100,000 soldiers and horses, not 200,000 iron cavalry in history, but 300,000 iron cavalry. Under the banner of an army of 500,000, almost the whole country marched south.

The reason for this is that the current Song Dynasty is a little stronger.

This is the war between nations.

……

The front-line emergency reports continued to be sent to the capital, and Zhao Heng said to the ministers: "I am tired and playing." The Khitan has planned to invade the south, and most of the country's heavy troops are in Hebei. The enemy cannot be ruthless, and I should win the battle in person. When can we proceed? ”

Song Jiu was slightly stunned, didn't he say that Kou Zhun forcibly pushed Zhao Heng's dragon cart to Lanzhou?

Thinking of this, and thinking of Zhao Heng's careful governance of the country in recent years, Song Jiu smiled a little bitterly. He finally understood that it was precisely because of what Zhao Heng said first that Kou Zhun might dare to forcibly propose to let Zhao Heng go to Lanzhou. But this truth was deliberately ignored by everyone, thus fulfilling Kou Zhun.

Bi Shi'an said: "Your Majesty has ordered the division to go out, and the appointment can be done, if you go in person, you can only stop in the remote command of the Yuanyuan, but the city of the Yuanyuan is not wide, and the army has been gathered for a long time, and it is not easy to be afraid. ”

That is to say, he is also in favor of the pro-conquest faction, but considering the actual situation in the city of Lanzhou, he does not approve of pro-conquest at this time.

Kou Zhun said: "The soldiers are outside, and the Holy Driver must be temporarily fortunate in the abyss, and the period of advance cannot be delayed. ”

Wang Jiying said: "The Praetorian Guards are heavy, mostly in Hebei, so it is advisable to move smoothly to strengthen the army, still supervise the march of the roads, and the matter can be controlled, but can not cross the Yuanyuan, His Majesty must be more cautious in person, especially slowly, if you really go to Lanzhou, you must not stay for a long time, in case of accidents." ”

At this time, I went to Lanzhou not to encourage morale, but for the journey.

For example, the Weilu army is 21 miles to the capital, Shun'an Zhai is 19 miles to the capital, Beipingzhai is 19 miles to the capital, and Dingzhou is 18 years. It's a thirty-mile road.

However, if the state institutions are moved to Lanzhou, it will save half the distance, and the front-line news can be delivered to the imperial court in the fastest time, and of course, decisions can be made at a faster speed.

However, what Wang Jiying and Bi Shi'an said is also reasonable, the Liao State came with 300,000 iron cavalry, if Zhao Heng went to Lanzhou with few troops, he would be taken by the Liao people, and he would have a beheading operation, and even dozens of national ministers would be outside, and the Northern Song Dynasty would be over.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a large number of soldiers to protect it, but the actual situation of Lanzhou City cannot be done at all.

So Zhao Heng's proposal was abandoned.

However, Song Jiu and Zhang Qixian glanced at each other, and at this time, Zhao Heng had not revealed his tone, and the big thing was done!

The battle began with the Breakers.

However, only about 100 people came first, and a foreign monk Shufan monk was the commander, and he took a hundred or dozens of Liao troops to the front to fight the grass valley to make a profit.

The Liao State believed in Buddhism, and it was not impossible to use monks as the main general of a small army.

However, what kind of Buddhism do you believe in as a monk? Could it be that the Buddha taught you to take the initiative to take the Liao army to fight the innocent people of the Song Dynasty Caogu?

The commander of the Broken Capture Army is Wei Neng, of course, so many Liao troops are heading south, and he also feels unprecedented pressure.

It is possible that for this reason, before he figured out how many Liao people came, he cooperated with Tian Min and Yang Xun to take down more than 100 Liao soldiers and Shufan monks.

After doing it for a long time, only this little person, still a wild monk, Wei Neng felt extremely remorseful.

However, the opportunity to vent his anger soon came, and the main force of the Liao army gradually arrived. Wei Neng took the initiative to fight, and this one came as the vanguard of the Liao army. It's not even a striker, but the current Liao army is even if it draws out a random soldier and horse. It is all calculated in tens of thousands, and Wei Neng has few troops. Gradually, it was lost, so it retreated a little.

At this point, it is close to Beiping Village. The Liao army then pursued, but Tian Min also sent the most powerful general, Zhang Ning, one of the four generals of Beiwei.

The two armies fought again, but the Liao army's physical strength was gradually consumed by Wei Neng, and suddenly Zhang Ning killed.

This is another brave general who is no less than Wei Neng, under his leadership, the iron cavalry of Beiping Village is almost like no one is invincible.

The Liao army did not see the situation well. I had to retreat.

The Broken Army is not easy to provoke, so let's attack Beiping Village.

This time they were even more miserable.

Tian Min disappeared for a long time, but instead of disappearing, he went to the northwest and was responsible for the training of all the back army. It's just that they are in the rare place in Nanhetao, and the Song Dynasty has done a good job of secrecy, and even Kou Zhun still doesn't know the truth about the Dao, not to mention the Liao State.

Tian Min was transferred back last year.

Along with him, there is a series of transfers. However, the frequent transfer of officials and generals in the Song Dynasty caused everyone to pay no attention to it at all.

There is no backer, there is, and now it can't be moved at all. Not in Hebei either.

But the Song soldiers of Beiping Village should not be underestimated, and Tian Min deployed to Beiping Village Zhao Heng also gave the sword and acted cheaply. Even Wang Chao, the chief general of Hebei, has to give him some face.

The Liao State arrived at Puyin, ten miles away from Beiping Village, and prepared to attack Beiping Village tomorrow.

Night. Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting outside.

Tian Min is here, Zhang Ning is here.

The two led their men into a no-man's land among the 300,000 Liao army.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu asked Xiao Tzu Rin in surprise. Who is the one who fights today.

"The so-called Tian Xiang envoy."

"He Feng can't be either."

Then he ordered the battalion to rise up and turned to Baozhou.

But they are sad again, and there is also a great big man in Baozhou, Yang Liulang.

Even the first battle had nothing to do with Yang Liulang, there was a green Great Wall outside Baozhou, and it was carried earlier, and now it is beginning to become a forest. In fact, this green Great Wall is also the reason why Xiao Yanyan is forced to win or lose.

Once the Green Great Wall grows, it will almost become a natural city wall, the Song Dynasty can attack, retreat and defend, and even have sufficient financial resources to carry this green Great Wall to Yizhou, as well as to the north of the Juma River, and then the Liao cavalry will not be able to play a role.

That would cost a lot of money, but the Song Dynasty was not bad for money.

The striker arrived at the Great Green Wall.

The woods are dense and beautiful, but there are still many thorns on the ground, which can't help but make the Liao army scream a lot of abuse.

At this moment, a rain of arrows fell.

Not good, there are volts.

Mainly in this environment, the Liao soldiers were a little cold, so they had not yet figured out how many soldiers and horses the Song army had, and they fled in a hurry. As a result, not many people were killed, but many soldiers were killed and injured because of trampling on each other in this special environment.

But how many people did the Song army come? There are only a dozen people, but the junior colonel Sun Mi took a dozen scouts to explore the movements of the Liao army, but I didn't expect to meet it, and the environment is also good, so shoot it. was about to shoot the arrow and then retreat back to report it with the help of the woods, but when he saw the Liao army fleeing in a hurry and trampling on each other, Sun Mi and his men stared at each other with big eyes, what is this?

Soon the Liao army got the truth, became angry, and rushed to the city of Baozhou.

Yang Liulang had 6,000 soldiers in his hands, which was more than the original troops.

Until this time he did not learn the truth.

But it didn't prevent him from thinking of good things, preparing to preserve his strength, and give the Liao army a head-on blow at the end.

So he deployed his troops and calmly defended, and the Liao army was defeated again and again.

Xiao Yanyan suddenly thought of the beautiful and bewildering ice wall of the Broken Army that year, yes, this is a master who is good at defense, and hundreds of thousands of army pits are not worth it in this small city.

Of course, these battles can't prove anything, the main reason is that the Liao army doesn't want to consume with these small cities, and that is not the intention of the 300,000 Liao army to go south. Moreover, behind the Song army were solid cities, which could be attacked and defended.

But what about the real situation?

Take a look at the Kusa Cheng River in Hedong.

This was a war between countries, and of course, Shanhou also sent troops to contain the Song army in Hedong and prevent them from aiding Hebei.

Tens of thousands of iron horsemen came, Gao Qiong's son Gao Jixun led the Song army to battle, he was also a cavalryman, but the number was much less, only 5,000 people. However, Gao Jixun looked at the enemy and laughed, and said to the military envoy Jia Zong: "See, although the enemy is numerous, but the formation is not neat, the main general must be a mediocre talent, although I have few soldiers, we will win." Take your men to the foot of the mountain and lay an ambush, and I will defeat the enemy and drive them into the ambush circle, and then you will fight bravely and destroy the enemy in one battle. ”

Jia Tong obeyed suspiciously.

Sure enough, as Gao Jixun expected, Gao Jixun defeated the Liao army after a while, and successfully rushed to the Jiatong ambush site, Hanguangling.

In that battle, Hanguangling became the cemetery of the Liao army, and under the attack of the Song army, the Liao army collapsed, trampled on each other, and killed and injured more than 10,000 people!

This may not be a big deal, the main battlefield is in Hebei.

However, what about the two real military strategists in the Song Dynasty, Li Jilong and Cao Wei? (To be continued......)
