Looking at Di Bao, Song Jiu said, "You can start." ”

In fact, after the entire plan was dissected, there were no bright spots except for the most critical battle.

First of all, Li Jilong's great victory made Cui Yanjin see that Yelu Hugo was not a real god and could also be defeated. So came up with a draft.

But this draft is very imperfect, and it is impossible to implement it at all, and of course Cui Yanjin did not expect the imperial court to implement it as it is, and he only provided an idea. This draft came into Song Jiu's hands, and he began to discuss with Zhao Kuangyi. But it was not perfect at that time, until more and more people joined in, and the situation at the front became favorable, especially in the northwest, which gradually stabilized, so that this plan gradually took shape.

The first step is to seduce Han Dewei.

Han Dewei is so happy, the northwest does seem to have those loopholes, I am not afraid that Han Dewei will not be fooled, he will not be fooled, continue to create some loopholes for him to see, sooner or later he will be fooled. Unless the Liao State replaces Yelu obliquely, is that possible? After all, recruiting envoys in the southwest is the focus of the Liao State.

The battle of Zihe laid the foundation for the second step, and the second step was a shallow attack behind the mountain.

The Liao army was small and launched a fierce attack, but did not seek to occupy it, so as soon as the Liao reinforcements came, they immediately retreated.

And it is not very strict on the time requirements, such as last year, the imperial court saw that it was too late, so it did not launch. Just stabilize the east of the river and prepare more grain and grass.

This one is very important, the grain and grass come out of Hedong and Shaanxi, and the Central Plains are the same, Hedong and Shaanxi do not have a good waterway, and the freight is very expensive. If the grain and grass come from the rear. The first will work for the people, and the second will make the court unbearable.

After the fall of this year. Begin to launch waves of feints. But if the Liao State does not send reinforcements over, it may also turn into a real attack. The forces are too dominant. Even now, Li Jilong still has some thoughts about Yunzhou City and Yelu Xie.

If that's the case, let all the mountains of Liaoguo become idle fields, and the plan will also be realized.

In that way, the Liao Kingdom was very hurt and painful, and even under the captivity of the Song Dynasty, most of the more than 100,000 families behind the mountain would be taken captive to the Song Dynasty. Population is also a huge wealth for the Liao State.

If reinforcements come, the Liaodong side will attack.

This is not difficult, and it will resume development in a few years. Wu Xuanming was so eager to try it that Shi Pu couldn't hold it back.

Sun Quanzhao's soldiers and horses are not small, and the Liao State will be very painful to the long coastline in the future, and the garrison will generate a lot of money, no matter what, the long coastline will become a good place for the Song army to train its troops.

Moreover, it created a kind of momentum, which the Song Dynasty directly echoed in southern Liaoning, increasing Wu Xuanming's confidence.

By this time. It's officially windy.

It's going to be hot......

The situation has changed again.

The Song army slowly withdrew to Hexi on the west road, and Zhang Ning and the Zhejia father and son led an army of 30,000 from Yiliangdu to Shuozhou City. Yang Ye, Yin Jilun, and Yang Si led an army of 70,000 to kill Lingqiu Feihu Pass in Yingzhou, Huanzhou. I am not afraid of Liao reinforcements.

All with Yelu Huge and Xiao Yanyan's mother and son in Liaodong. Of course, this Song Jiu and Li Jilong can't be determined yet, so it doesn't matter. Liaodong will be somewhat contained, and it will take a little time for the Liao army to gather more troops.

That's enough.

I am not afraid of Yelu's oblique troops coming to Shuozhou. Shuozhou still has heavy troops, even if it is unfavorable. can also calmly retreat to Yanmen Pass and Shenwu City. Moreover, there is also a Li Jilong and Song Jiu who continue to stay in Shuozhou City.

and he was not afraid of Jerod's attack on the west side of the river.

Those forts in the west of the river that were not easy to attack were equipped with a large amount of grain, grass and weapons. And when choosing a site, we pay great attention to the fact that the terrain is treacherous, and the second is that it is near the mountains, and half of it is a mountain city, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The third is the existence of water sources, which does not require the living water of the river, but refers to the existence of groundwater. It is said that in history, Ge Huaimin's defeat in Dingchuan was the result of the lack of water in Dingchuan. Song Jiu really doesn't know the road in this history, but he knows the story of the road and the loss of the street pavilion. Therefore, water is very important. Each fort must be able to drill several large wells, at least enough for people and horses to have drinking water.

They are different from the historical Linzhou City, which once caused a crisis because of water, but there were too many residents in Linzhou City, and when Li Yuanhao invaded, he took in most of the residents, which led to a shortage of water in the city. Not really, there is not a drop of water in the city.

They are military cities, so as long as the enemy cannot break through each fortress, they can hold on for more than half a year.

Therefore, Yelu had only one choice, to conquer the Tibetan tribes outside the city, plunder the wealth, and plunder the people. But there are still many troops in Hexi, and the Tibetan people also have combat effectiveness, and there are two major party and wealthy families in the rear, the Zhejia family and the Wang family.

You can't bring fewer soldiers, but you can't bring more soldiers, are you afraid that the Song army will take the opportunity to conquer Yunzhou and copy his back road?

There are more soldiers than the Liao army, morale and military discipline make up for the slight lack of combat effectiveness, there will be several brave generals, Shuai Song Jiu and Li Jilong together, will only be above Yelu oblique!

So this is a conspiracy.

Huanzhou, like Shuozhou, was almost destroyed by the Song army. It doesn't matter, as long as someone can rebuild it. But there were no more people in Huanzhou, so when he heard that the Song army was coming, Yelu Guanu withdrew to Yingzhou City.

The Song army slowly attacked Yingzhou.

On the other side, there is also movement in Hebei.

It's still not Youzhou.

At the beginning, Zhao Kuangyi came to the city with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but he didn't break through, and now it is.

Yang Yanzhao and Wei Neng's second generals led 10,000 soldiers and horses, out of Yishui, and attacked Yizhou.

The road is very clear, capture Yizhou, and then the army will come to the Bauhinia Ridge, from the river valley and Li Jixuan's two armies will be united, and the troops will attack Feihu Pass.

Then it happened to meet with the two armies of the East Route Army in Hedong, the intention was very simple, it was still behind the mountain.

Xiao Yanyan issued an edict to let the cities hold on and not fight.

Before Liaodong is peaceful, there can be no more demon moths ahead.

But the tragic war still started when she first arrived in Liaodong.

Through the battle of Shuozhou, Yelu Xianzhen won one of the biggest advantages, that is, Yang Wushu and Yin Jilun also knocked down the small altar.

If possible, both men would have been defeated.

Their personal ferocity does not mean that their command ability is excellent, at least not as good as the legendary Yang Invincible and the black-faced king of the Liao soldiers.

I can only say yes.

And after such a long period of passive defense, Yelu is not a person who sits idly by. I also heard a lot of news. Including this one, more than half of the Song army were recruits. And most of them were infantry, and the weather was cold. It was not beneficial to the Song army.

70,000 soldiers and horses are not too much, but too much.

On the other side of Shuozhou, Hexi is Yangmou. Of course, Yelu oblique knew the way. He would not stupidly bring the army to Hexi to do useless work, or bring it to Shuozhou to fight the Song army. So the battlefield was placed in Yingzhou.

The Song army was blind and ignorant, and one team after another slowly descended eastward.

The speed is not fast, so many soldiers and horses have to eat and drink, they must bring grain and grass, and there is punishment for Cao Bin's injury, and the grain and grass go with the army. Even Song Jiu, in order to cherish the people's strength, did not hesitate to turn the soldiers into people's husbands, and marched slowly while escorting grain and grass. Fortunately, from Shuozhou to the east. It is a flat river valley, and the speed of a day's march can barely reach a distance and a half.

Came to the city of Yingzhou.

After Pan Mei was defeated by Yelu obliquely, Yang Ye proposed to go out of the big stone road and enter the Shijie Valley to avoid its front. Wang Yu was stimulated, so he left Shuozhou from the small Shikou Road on the side and began to fight in Chenjiagu. The most heroic sacrifice was made.

On the other side of Dashi Road is the East Pass of Yanmen.

However, after Yelu returned to the mountain, he built a strong fort in the Shijie Valley to prevent the Song army from invading from the east. Second, the people fled to the Song Dynasty along the Shijie Valley.

This road is a dead end for the time being, unless the Song army launches a strong attack on Shijie Village.

To the north of Yingzhou is Longshou Mountain. The rest is the flat Sanggan River and the Hunyuan River.

The Song army came to the city of Yingzhou and began to launch a fierce attack on Yingzhou.

There were not many Liao soldiers in the city, although some troops came to the aid of them. also sent a part to the Flying Fox Pass to assist in guarding the pass. However, the Liao army occupied the city wall, and the weather was cold. The Song army put on thick winter clothes and acted clumsily. So the two armies were in a state of interweaving, one in the city and one under the city.

However, the Liao army also suffered heavy casualties.

The Song army did not hesitate to affect the speed of this trip. It also brought a large number of siege weapons.

The only distress is that after the defeat of Qigou Pass, many sharp weapons were obtained by the Liao State. Then Han De invited craftsmen with high salaries, and reused some soldiers who were proficient in repairing instruments among the Song prisoners of war, and made some imitations. This led to a consequence, although the siege equipment of the Song army became more and more advanced, the defense of the Liao side was also strengthened. In general, the Liao State is not very well imitated due to its backward technology.

As a result of the fighting, there were some casualties on both sides.

After three days of bloody fighting, the Song army was surprised to find that the defenders in the city were getting braver and braver.

After all, this is an army of new recruits, and it is okay to fight against the wind, but it is bad to fight against the wind. Some time ago, it was easy to play and morale was high. Now the battle is not going well, the casualties are getting heavier and heavier, and the morale of some soldiers is somewhat depressed.

On Longshou Mountain, Yelu obliquely looked at the Yingzhou battlefield in the distance, and said to the left and right: "It's hot." ”

It is of great significance for the Song army to dig through the Flying Fox Pass Road, but then the loopholes will come out. Although this army has a large number of troops, its combat effectiveness may not be as impressive as its strength. And when I arrived in Yingzhou, it was far away from Shuozhou City. It was the Song army that came to the rescue, and the battle was already over.

It's getting dark.

In the afterglow of the evening, Yelu could see that Song Jun was making a fire and cooking, and his face was a little tired.

But he hasn't moved yet.

It was getting dark.

The north wind howled and blew like a knife on a person's face. However, Yelu slanted to the left and right, and there was some resolute look in their eyes.

The Song army wanted to humiliate the ministers to death, and the Liao army also had their pride, and they all felt very depressed when they hit this one. That's morale.

For this operation, the more than 20,000 Liao soldiers behind him suffered a lot, marching every morning and evening, looking for a hidden place to rest during the day, rushing from Hechuan to the Sanggan River, and then diving from the Sanggan River into the vast Longshou Mountain.

This is the night that I was waiting for.

Yelu gathered the army and said loudly: "The cowardly Song army knows that the lord of the Dao of Lu deserves to be killed for humiliating his ministers, do you know the Dao? ”

"Zhilu Dao, long live Your Majesty, long live the Queen Mother."

"Shi Jingtang ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to our Great Liao State, which was recognized by the Central Plains Dynasty for generations. But after the emperor of the Song Dynasty who killed his brother and brother came up, he actually took advantage of the orphans and widows of our Liao State to launch an attack on our Liao State again and again. ”

"When the snow!"

"The Queen Mother is conscientious and governs the country, but what do you think we have become of Daliao now? The country is in ruins, and the people are struggling to make a living. Why is everything, it is the invasion of the Song people, do you want to repay this hatred! ”

"It will be rewarded."

"Then use our saber to avenge this for the Queen Mother, for Your Majesty, for our Daliao, for the millions of Li people, and for your fathers and fellow villagers." After Yelu slanted to speak, with more than 20,000 Liao troops, he rushed out of Longshou Mountain and rushed towards the unsuspecting Song army camp. (To be continued......)
