Chapter 607: Making Waves

Therefore, when Deputy Marshal Fang Zhiye was in danger, when he had just temporarily assumed the post of marshal, he immediately ordered the whole army to retreat 30 li, and the 40,000 troops were in a hurry, packed up the camp tents, and urgently retreated 30 li, and when the whole army arrived at the designated position, the new marshal issued a new order to retreat another 30 li overnight.

After this night of tossing, the 40,000 troops of the Beida camp finally arrived at the destination again at dawn in the sky, the people were sleepy and the horses were tired, and they were ordered to camp immediately before resting, and suddenly a team of 10,000 cavalry with black armor and black horses came out of the forest on the hillside, each horse was wrapped in cloth, and rushed to the military camp with the first rays of morning light, and when these cavalry approached, the soldiers of the Beida camp who were encamped reacted.

At this time, the soldiers of the Beida Battalion wanted to organize men and horses to counterattack, it was too late, this 10,000-strong cavalry was like a black torrent, like a sharp knife, fiercely inserted into the heart of the Beida Battalion, when it landed, the Beida Battalion was in a mess, throwing away the camp tent in his hand, looking for weapons everywhere to resist, these people looking for weapons just picked up weapons in their hands, and were shot into hedgehogs.

After this 10,000-strong cavalry rushed in in black, they shouted in unison, "Kneel and surrender without killing." "Just rushing back and forth in the camp, except for a small number of peripheral soldiers who organized a little effective resistance, most of the soldiers of the northern battalion were scattered by this torrent, and the strong impact of the cavalry made these infantry who had no phalanx and no weapons to rely on were afraid before fighting, and could only flee in all directions.

The cavalry kept storming the crowds, slaughtering the infantry who dared to take up arms but were already powerless to resist and had no morale. The soldiers of the Northern Battalion finally understood that as long as they took up arms, they would be mercilessly slaughtered, and they no longer dared to resist or move, so they could only kneel on the ground and wait for fate.

When there were no more soldiers standing in the whole camp, the cavalry slowly stopped, someone took out a horn, blew it with a "woo", and all the cavalry began to form a detachment to gather the kneeling soldiers together, and then tied these soldiers together and escorted them out of the camp.

When counting these captured soldiers, they did not find the newly appointed marshal Fang Zhiye, who did not retreat with the troops when he ordered the second order to continue to retreat thirty miles, but took his own soldiers back to the Beidaying base where the Song Dynasty and the Khitan were fighting.

Fang Zhiye can be the saddest and luckiest marshal in history, the North Battalion dispatched 40,000 troops to Zhenyuan Prefecture to suppress bandits, the troops were just stationed near Zhenyuan Prefecture, the commander's head was lost inexplicably, he, the deputy marshal, took office as the commander, and after issuing two orders in a row, it led to the annihilation of 40,000 elite troops, but because of his greed, he saved his life.

Because of Shi Xuehai's death, he gave Fang Zhiye the opportunity to take the position, compared with the 40,000 troops in front of him and the hundreds of thousands of team headquarters in the Beidaying base, he preferred the Beidaying base, which is called the strongest battalion defense in human history, and the impact of hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops has made this camp as stable as Mount Tai.

has been suppressed by Shi Xuehai for so many years, and there has been no chance to take the position, the civil officials of the Song Dynasty are in charge, and there will be no chance for a military general like him to take office, but now the opportunity has come, so he wants to go back to the camp first to envelop the military power, holding the big seal of Shi Xuehai in his hand, Fang Zhiye is happy in his heart, and he said that the current situation creates heroes, and he Fang Zhiye can now be described as the time, geography, people, and he thinks that he is the hero created by the current situation.

But he returned to the base of the North Daying, and found that the North Daying was still resisting the constant attacks of the Khitan, and occasionally there were some counteroffensives, but with little effect, after Fang Zhiye came back to understand these situations, he ordered that the whole army immediately attack and attack the Khitan forward position, and he wanted to fight with the Khitan in front of the base to achieve his fame.

We will not say how Fang Zhiye fought a decisive battle with the Khitan in front of the two armies, but it is said that the 40,000 soldiers of the Northern Battalion who were crushed by the 10,000 cavalry were killed more than 5,000 people, more than 10,000 escaped, more than 20,000 people were captured, and countless trophies were captured, while the 10,000 cavalry team only lost a few hundred people, and this battle can be described as a great victory.

When Lu Gao escorted more than 20,000 people back to the camp of the Zhenyuan Prefecture commanding envoys, when Lu Wenhan and the other generals saw these prisoners and trophies, they secretly sighed that the trick that Chai Wenshan left behind when he left was indeed exactly right.

It turned out that Chai Wenshan was leaving, and Lu Wenhan and the generals conducted a final analysis of the temporary station of the Beida Battalion, as soon as Shi Xuehai died, the successor to the marshal must be Wu Zhuangyuan Fang Zhiye, this guy is not a timid person, but he can only serve as the deputy marshal in the Beida Battalion for a long time, no matter how the commander replaces, he just doesn't straighten him as the deputy marshal.

No matter how many military exploits he has made, he is only rewarded financially, but since he was promoted to deputy marshal, there has been no promotion in official positions.

Chai Wenshan made two suggestions, if after Shi Xuehai's death, the temporary camp of the Beida Battalion launched an attack on the Zhenyuan Prefecture Command Battalion, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat into the mountains behind the Command Envoy Battalion, which had been in operation for many years, where it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the 40,000 troops of the Beida Battalion would be defeated if they could not get close at all. When the cavalry team rushes out, it will defeat the Beida Battalion troops commanded by Fang Zhiye.

The black armor of Lu Wenhan's soldiers was also prepared by Chai Wenshan in the early years, so Zhenyuan Prefecture commanded a total of two sets of armor in the camp, one is the standard armor of the Song army, and the other is this black armor and black armor, this set of armor was secretly created by them, and the origin of all this is because of the dictatorship of the privy envoy Hou Jinbao.

After Hou Jinbao served as the privy envoy of the Privy Council, he has been eliminating dissent, retaliating against and framing others, appointing his own cronies, and trying to control the dynasty in vain.

Hou Zuoren was sent by Hou Jinbao to command the envoy camp in Zhenyuan Prefecture as a strategist, at first, Hou Zuoren was quite honest, but when Hou Jinbao's power was consolidated step by step, Hou Zuoren began to show his fangs, and on trumped-up charges, he killed many generals under Lu Wenhan.

Lu Wenhan's elder brother Lu Wenhao was the Guards Ma Junsi, the three yamen who belonged to the supreme command organ of the central government of the Song Dynasty, commanding the forbidden army and the box army respectively, and was removed by Hou Jinbao to send people to make a plan, and also killed Lu Wenhan's father Lu Quancai and other immediate family members.

When Lu Wenhan, who was far away on the border, knew the news, it was already a few months later, and the poor Lu family was loyal to the monarch and loved the people, and they couldn't resist the framing of the slanderers, fortunately, Lu Wenhan had run the command camp of Zhenyuan Prefecture for many years, and he was assisted by good ministers like Chai Wenshan.

Therefore, many years have passed, although there are people who are making waves here, they are still as stable as gold, but the command has made the control of the battalion much smaller.

Last time, the emperor ordered them to find an opportunity to get rid of Hou Zuoren, but because Xiang Qingxi was busy and did not kill Shi Xuehai in time, he asked the Beida Battalion to send troops to prepare to get rid of the Zhenyuan Prefecture Command Envoy Battalion, this time Shi Xuehai was beheaded, Chai Wenshan felt that this was an opportunity.

But the creation of this opportunity mainly depends on the performance of the new commander Fang Zhiye, if Fang Zhiye takes the will of the saint as the direction and continues to attack them to command the big battalion, then they have to retreat to the mountains and find another way, this battle can defeat the 40,000 troops of the northern camp, but their own side will also get heavy losses, so this plan is not the best.
