He carried a knife and howled in the wasteland for a whole hour before he slowly calmed down, Yun Zheng's unreasonable killing behavior made Guo Hengchuan completely lose his mind, and he vowed to use Yun Zheng's head to worship the three dead juniors of the Guo family.

Guo Rusong's death had nothing to do with the Song army, at least, Li Chang said so in the letterhead brought back by Guo Rusong's entourage, in which he said that it was a sad family conflict, that Guo Ruhai had killed his cousin Guo Rusong, and that it was when Yun Shuai had explicitly ordered Guo Rusong to leave Yanmen Pass alive.

Xiao Huo'er looked at Guo Hengchuan who was actively seeking to fight suspiciously, he was indeed confused, Guo Hengchuan's crazy performance seemed to prove his innocence, but the Guo brothers standing at the head of Yanmen Pass were firmly rooted in his heart like a spike.

After confronting Yun Zheng on the wasteland for three months, Yelu Hongji, who had been attacking the mud ancient village for a long time, finally exhausted the last bit of patience, and forced Xiao Huo'er to capture Yanmen Pass, which was guarded by only a few troops, as quickly as possible, and finally marched south from Taihang Mountain to Tokyo.

Hebei Province, Hejian Province gathered the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Liao millions of troops, huge army groups in the narrow strip to fight each other, there is no longer any tactics to talk about, only the most primitive fighting, every day constantly staged in this land, Hejian Mansion - blood drifting pestle.

This war was different from the previous Song-Liao wars. It was not a single accident that provoked the war, but the emperor himself, so there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two armies. The flames of war on the Song-Liao border burned more and more fiercely day by day.

The war officially began only fifty-three days, but these fifty-three days made Di Qing feel like a year, Xiaonanhe, Tianjiazhai, Baigouyi, the three most important strategic places have changed hands three times, especially Xiaonanhezhai, 3,000 soldiers filled in. It will be completely damaged in less than a day, and even if the Great Song army has a killing weapon such as gunpowder bullets, it can only attack and defend each other with the Liao army. Once the Liao ironclad army launched an attack, this stockade standing on the plain would immediately fall.

The Song army could only use a powerful trebuchet to throw large gunpowder shells into the Xiaonanhe Village, which was blown into a sea of fire. In order for the Song army to retake the military village, and now, the role of large gunpowder shells has become less and less, and as the war dragged on, the Liao began to use fortifications to deal with this sharp weapon that they had never seen before.

Di Qing stood on the enemy tower and looked at the Liao army on the opposite side from a distance, the outside of the Xiaonanhe military village was covered with trenches dug by the Liao army, and the Liao army of the brigade was swimming in the trenches, waiting for the general's order, and then launched another attack.

Constantly one or two gunpowder bombs flew out of Xiaonan Hezhai. Deterrently exploded above the Liao's trenches, telling both sides that the war was going on.

The rancid smell peculiar to the battlefield permeated both sides of the Xiaonan River. All kinds of pontoon bridges on the river were blown into ruins by gunpowder bombs, and the Xiaonan River, which was less than five feet wide, was full of white and swollen corpses soaked in the river, which were blocked by broken pontoon bridges, and the river was almost blocked in broad daylight.

Di Qing grabbed a handful of the dark city wall, which had become as soft as tofu under his hands, and looked at the crispy mud in his hand that had been burned by the flames. Di Qing sighed and asked Wang Shao, the guard of Xiaonanhe.

"The city wall is no longer enough, how do you deal with the Liao army next?"

Wang Shao said with a smile: "If the city wall is gone, it will become a mountain." The Liao people must attack again and again, otherwise they will not be able to enter Bazhou, both sides of the Xiaonan River are swamps, dense water and grass, not suitable for marching, only by attacking the Xiaonan River village head-on can enter the Great Song Bazhou. ”

Han Qi sighed and said: "The swamps on both sides were formed after the defeat of Emperor Taizong during the period of Emperor Taizong, in order to prevent the invasion of the Liao people, the Yellow River was dug and flooded a large area of fields.

Xiaonan Hezhai has been lost three times in less than two months, and if it continues, Gao Jixuan is likely to dig up the Yellow River again to create new swamps. ”

Di Qing invited Han Qi to walk down the ruined city wall, and said as he walked: "Actually, there are too many troops in Hejian Mansion, and too many soldiers and generals are not a good thing, in the old man's opinion, as long as the soldiers are enough, now that the 600,000 troops are gathered in Hejian Mansion, the daily supply of food and grass is anxious, and the big guys are gathered to eat, who has the time to fight."

Yun Zheng's troops there are too thin, and the large number of soldiers in Hejian Mansion has become a burden, so why not increase the number of troops by 100,000 in the direction of Yanmen Pass? The old man dared to say that once Yun Zheng had more than 100,000 horses in his hands, he would definitely break through Xijing of the Liao State and enter the heart of the Liao State. ”

Han Qi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty does not plan to force the Liao State to withdraw its troops, he intends to consume the living power of the Liao State in Hejian Mansion, and now, Your Majesty himself knows that the time is not yet ripe to attack the Liao State and recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun at this time, so he wants to consume it." His Majesty's idea is very simple, if you want to plot against Yanyun, you must always find out the details of the enemy, if the Great Song Dynasty does not have an advantage in this confrontation, then the twenty years of non-sword warfare that Wen Yanbo said will be thoroughly implemented.

Yun Zheng is like a raging fire, once he has a heavy army in his hand, God knows what he will do, once the Song and Liao two countries become a fierce battle of life and death, the old man dares to assert that in the next ten years, the Song and Liao countries will decline, the Western Xia is not peaceful, and it is not yet the time when we can go all out to settle the account with the Liao State, and now the more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands can only hold on, not enterprising, which also achieves the purpose of His Majesty's desire to comprehensively deal with the consumption on the other hand. ”

"The imperial court doesn't believe in Yunhou?" Di Qing stopped and asked in surprise.

Han Qi smiled slightly: "When it comes to an official at his level, what else does he say about trusting or distrusting, he can only say that it is suitable or not, if the imperial court does not trust Yun Zheng, it will definitely not hand over Yanmen Pass, the throat of the Great Song Dynasty, to him to defend it, he guards Yanmen Pass, and the people of the entire Great Song Dynasty can rest assured, Your Majesty has entrusted it with the fortune of the country, and there is no need to say the word trust again, right?"

The reason why you don't send him additional reinforcements, the biggest reason is the supply in your mouth, Daizhou is suffering from the world, and he can't support so many soldiers, if all the military funds are supplied by the Beijing Division, the cost is too great, even if you add 100,000 troops to Yunhou according to what you said, and the supply of hundreds of thousands of troops in Yanmen Pass can barely be supplied, as you said, once Yunhou has a heavy army, he will definitely not waste his troops in vain, and he will naturally capture Xijing of Liao.

The old man thought that it didn't seem too difficult for him to kill Xiao Huo'er, in that case, the strategy of the Great Song Dynasty would turn from east to west, and the momentum of the fire merger had been achieved, and no one could reverse it, no matter whether the Great Song Dynasty wanted it or not, we would start to go to war with the Liao State with all our might. ”

Di Qing frowned and said angrily, "Aren't we fighting with all our might now? Xiaonanhe, Tianjiazhai, Baigouyi has already killed the corpse mountain and sea of blood, the old man estimates that the biggest battle should take place in Niguzhai, every battlefield here is the devil's mouth that devours the living, don't tell me that this is not an all-out battle. ”

Han Qi said with a smile: "In fact, this battle is just a temptation between the Song and Liao countries from beginning to end, even if the emperor of the Liao State Yelu Hongji is angry, he also knows that he can't get much benefit from my Great Song Dynasty, he just wants to stabilize his position through war, the betrayal of Yelu Chongyuan, the king of the Qin Kingdom of Liao, has made the Liao Dynasty and government unstable, at this time, there will be a war at the right time, so that everyone can shift their attention to the battlefield, and he can clean up some people in the country." ”

Di Qing said puzzledly: "There is no need to send your own soldiers to the battlefield to send your own soldiers to death to clean up the traitors in the country, right?" ”

Han Qi said with a smile: "The words I said just now were not said by the old man, but by His Majesty himself, we don't know the emperor's mental technique, and the person who knows Yelu Hongji best in the world should be our Majesty." ”

"Because Your Majesty is the Emperor?"

"That's right, the only one who knows the emperor's mentality best is always the emperor, and what we can't figure out has become a matter of course with His Majesty."

Di Qing glanced at Han Qi deeply and said: "The old man is an old pawn, and he is still good at marching and fighting, this kind of thing of watching people's hearts is really not good at, no matter what, since he is His Majesty's eagle dog, he will help His Majesty fight wholeheartedly, and the rest will not want to." ”

Han Qi cautiously poked his head through the city wall to look outside, and saw that a gunpowder bullet happened to fall into the trench dug by the Liao army, after the explosion, four or five humanoid objects flew into the sky, nodded with satisfaction, retracted his head and followed Di Qing back to the camp outside the Xiaonanhe village, but Wang Shao shouted and shouted to the soldiers to re-strengthen the city defense, and also ordered the carts to be splashed with water and piled up on the huge gap in the Beizhai wall, once it was evening, it was the time for the Liao army to attack.

Di Qing, who returned to the camp, glanced at Gao Jixuan coldly, the reason why he and Han Qi went to the city wall just now was because Gao Jixuan proposed a combat plan for a sneak attack at night, and he thought that if he wanted to break the deadlock in Xiaonanhe, the best way was to take the initiative to sneak attack.

"Whoever dares to speak out about the night sneak attacker again, behead!"

After Di Qing gave the military order, he turned back to his camp, and from the first time he saw the Liao army, Di Qing knew that the night sneak attack was purely a suicide act.

Not to mention that the Liao army camp is full of trenches, even if you don't consider these, just let the army leave the cover of gunpowder shells and fight hand-to-hand with the Liao army, such a general should be beheaded and shown to the public.

Gao Jixuan's embarrassed Chao Han Qi, Lao Bao looked over, but found that the two people ignored him, and were discussing the logistics and supply of the army, a bad breath rose from his chest and abdomen, and he couldn't stay in the military tent anymore, angrily opened the curtain, and strode towards the location of his military camp.
