Beckoning the generals to walk to the front of the large Liangzhou map, which was drawn by Chase's military intelligence department in advance according to Wu Yingying's instructions, the mountains and rivers are very clear, and the scale is probably in line, Wu Yingying nodded approvingly to Chase, and said in a deep voice: "The Jinfan Army, Lian Rui Army, and Jiaorong Army form a strong infantry formation under the city of Liangzhou, and I personally supervise the formation to lure the enemy army to attack, and the hussar army will form a cavalry formation on the side to respond." "The hussars are all in command of Xin Gu, the Jiaorong army is in command of Chase, the Jinfan army is in command of Lin Hong, and the deputy commander of the Lian Rui army is Guo Nian, nodding yes together. Wu Yingying will lead the battle of the army, and the army will no longer be an independent combat unit, but will be assigned to each department according to the needs of the formation, and the army commander and the competent lieutenant will be responsible separately.

"The White Feather Army, the Chi Hunter Army, is hiding between the two side walls in the south of this Liangzhou, waiting for my order to kill, and the two sides will reel in the flank and rear of the enemy. Without waiting for the two to ask, Wu Yingying said again, Luo Youtong and Bai Yujun were both commanded by the Chi Hunting Army and Yu Furen Rail nodded in understanding. When the battlefield is stalemate, the cavalry is basically the victory, and the only thing to worry about is whether the enemy is trapped.

Seeing that the generals of Lanzhou were calmly obeying the order, while Lin Hong and Luo Youtong were worried, Wu Yingying smiled and said: "Although there is a plan, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, in the final analysis, our army relies on it, and the sergeants are strong and dare to fight." The so-called stratagem is just icing on the cake. Even if the enemy sees through our strategy, they will not be able to do anything about it. ”

"My lord Mingjian," Yu Fu Renliang didn't know that Wu Yingying's words were a relief to the second general of the Guiyi Army, and continued, "The posture made before this battle is that the enemy is outnumbered, do you still send military envoys to surrender according to the custom?" His question is not without reason, after the new establishment of the Sixth Army in Hexi, a large number of crusade against the non-return Uighur tribes, the rule is to send an army to surrender before each battle, if it is still not attached, then plough the court to sweep the caves, this Liangzhou Tubo is still a vassal in essence, each with its own thoughts, even if it does not surrender, Wu Yingying's conditions for surrender are announced, there are always some half-hearted people who move, which also affects the overall combat power of the enemy in the battle. This is also the true meaning of the rule of the Hexi New Army of "salute first and then soldier".

"No need. Wu Yingying's face turned cold, thinking of Xin Gu's report on the misery of the slaughter and enslavement of the people of Liangzhou, "In this battle, our army intends to establish its authority, and before the battle is finally over, we will go all out to kill the enemy." He held the words "no prisoners left" in his stomach, so uncomfortable, waved his hand and said: "Before the war, all armies must feed those local people who are recruited, and they must not lose the hearts of the people." He felt a little sorry in his heart, the new army was all soldiers, unlike the Song army, which had a large number of state soldiers in addition to the forbidden army, and the volunteer soldiers could be driven, in order to save the physical strength of the sergeants, Wu Yingying also "recruited" more than 10,000 people to build barracks for the army in accordance with the practice of this era, and at the same time "collected" the grain and grass along the way as much as possible.

Since the time of the Lanzhou Army, his army has been accustomed to managing and using shade households, and he is familiar with recruiting and managing people, and he is both resolute and unreasonable in this matter. For those families who were requisitioned men and grain and grass, the army paid first, Wu Yingying printed a large number of military tickets in Lanzhou, if he finally occupied Hexi, these people deliberately used military tickets to pay off the taxes due to the sergeants, even if he did not occupy Hexi, the people could also use military tickets to ask him for repayment materials, however, whether these ordinary people who had never left their places of residence for hundreds of miles had the courage to look for troops thousands of miles away to collect debts, Wu Yingying could figure it out with his toes, so for those people who were still numb with grief because of the broken family, he felt guilty in his heart。

"The people of Hexi are suffering, General Cai, if our army occupies Hexi in the future, we should treat the people of this side well. After the military discussion was dispersed, when Wu Yingying inspected the Jiaorong military camp, he saw those people who worked hard like yellow ants, and he was quite ashamed to say to Chase, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for being hypocritical.

Chase saw his mood and comforted: "Your Excellency doesn't have to blame yourself, the preferential treatment of these people in our army is unprecedented, even the people recruited by the imperial court officials and soldiers have to bring their own utensils, and they only have two meals a day." What he said is also the truth, although the Song people's forbidden army has a number of soldiers, volunteers and other establishments, but the first level is pressed at the first level, the people are free, and the army at all levels is very willing to use it, so the people will have the psychology of fearing the officers and soldiers as if they were afraid of thieves.

At this time, the camp that was sufficient to accommodate 15,000 infantry troops had been initially formed, and there was no shortage of trenches, walled walls, antlers, and pits, and there was a shortage of water in the northwest, so the trenches were covered with sharp wooden thorns, and a large open space was cleared in front of various fortifications for the future battle of the large army in the front. Wu Yingying looked at the fluttering Song military flag at the head of Liangzhou City, and said in his heart, Dong Zunzhi, don't let me down.

A few days ago, he had already mobilized the cavalry of various armies, ready to eat the hussars who were lone in one bite, but on the eve of the attack, Wu Yingying personally led the army to the city of Liangzhou, and the attack plan was stillborn, which made him feel uncomfortable. But Lao Dong is a general after all, and before he didn't know the truth of Wu's heroic army, he also suppressed the anger in his heart and didn't cause it.

After Wu Yingying personally led the army to set up a large camp under the city of Liangzhou, the Song army paid attention to and counted the enemy soldiers and horses all the time, and after a few days, it was certain that Wu Yingying's army had about 10,000 foot soldiers, and the cavalry was only six or seven thousand.

"The Wu hero Lanzhou's own army is only 10,000, and the newly collected Guiyi army and Uighurs must not exceed the number of times, otherwise it will be difficult to control, and if we don't wait for our army to attack, we will be in chaos first. These seventeen or eight thousand soldiers and horses should have poured into the nest to attack. Dong Zunzhi sighed, "This person has just obtained the four prefectures of Guasha in Gansu, and he has come to attack Liangzhou without leaving troops to defend it, and he is really an outlaw." ”

"It is precisely that the Uighur domain is fierce and difficult to control, and Wu Yingying cannot get it, and his army is still dominated by infantry troops, with less than seven or eight thousand cavalry, and he wants to collect more soldiers and horses from the Guiyi army. However, his original cavalry was very elite and difficult to beat, so he had to deal with it carefully. Zhi Ge Zhi said, secretly regretting in his heart, although Wu Yingying's cavalry of about thousands of people was strong, but the Tubo people in Liangzhou were overwhelming, and they were not completely invincible, in the end, they were still frightened by the first few sticks.

Cai Keyuan also nodded yes, and said in his heart, my Tuoba clan has occupied the five states of Dingyan for a hundred years, and it is only a fetter to many party and clans, how can you Wu hero He De be able to take that Uighur warrior for his own use within a few months. The original intention of the party Xiang Tuoba clan to the imperial court was always in line with the yang and yin, and sending troops to assist the imperial court in crusading against other towns was something that had never been done before. Just because he has repeatedly suffered losses at the hands of Wu Yingying, this time he sent troops to help the war, and he also had the idea of taking the opportunity to retaliate. "Could it be that the imperial army surrounded Lanzhou, he was mad and wanted to fight all the way from Liangzhou, Huanzhou, and Xiazhou. Seeing that Wu Yingying had few soldiers and the generals were relaxed, Cai Keyuan made a harmless joke, and the three of them all laughed.
