Fortunately, Jiju came.

It came in such a timely manner, with these rations in his stomach, soon Di Qing felt that his whole body was full of strength again.

"General Ji, thank you so much, with this food, it is equivalent to saving the lives of more than 40,000 of our Western Army."

"Also, these things you give are so delicious, do you usually eat them for your food?"

Facing Di Qing's inquiry, Ji Zhu was still a little nervous and excited in his heart.

Once upon a time, when he was in the Western Army, he needed to look up to a general like Di Qing.

If he hadn't met Su Shi, even if he had been developing in the Western Army, I am afraid that in this life, it would be difficult to have any chance to talk to a general like Di Qing on an equal footing.

And all of this, thanks to Su Shi.

It was with Su Shi's help, with all kinds of supplies and money provided by Su Shi, that Ji Zhu was able to bring out a powerful army called the Black Knight.

After a sigh in his heart, facing Di Qing's question, Ji Zhu smiled and said, "We don't eat these in peacetime, and we only eat these easy-to-carry foods in wartime."

"I'll just say, how can you eat such a good thing every day." This answer made Di Qing nod in agreement.

Compared with the food of the Western Army, which has almost no oil and water, the food of Su Jiajun is really good.

Seeing Di Qing say this, knowing that the other party had misunderstood, Ji Zhu quickly added, "General Di, you misunderstood, we usually eat better than this. It's just that the army is on the move and can't make a fire to cook, so I can eat some of these easy-to-carry things to satisfy my hunger temporarily."

"Ahh Uhhh

Hearing this answer, Di Qing didn't know what to say for a while.

Such delicious beef, as well as never-before-seen ham sausages, turned out to be just used to satisfy hunger.

It's something I can't imagine at all.

looked at Ji Zhu carefully, and looked at the other party's eyes very sincerely. Come to think of it, there is no need for people to deceive themselves on such issues. Di Qing sighed and said, "Ben will finally know why you were able to crisscross the Liao land in the first place, if there is such good food to replenish the body, then the chances of winning the battle will be much greater, and it is not impossible for the Liao soldiers to be an opponent."

Di Qing sighed, and also explained the key to the war.

Since ancient times, there has been a view of war, that is, to fight war is to fight money.

This sentence is very practical in ancient times and today.

In contrast, the ancient times were even more important. For example, in the history books, a battle is often fought for months or even years.

Does it really take that long to fight?

Of course not, all because the logistical supplies could not be in place on time.

Often, the farther the expedition goes, the more important logistical supplies become.

There was no fast enough means of transport, so it was all carried by horse-drawn people. Often, when food is delivered hundreds or even thousands of miles away, it would be nice to have half of the supplies left, and the rest would be consumed halfway through.

Without enough food, the soldiers could not maintain sufficient physical strength, so they had to continue to rest. This will not be the case until there is enough rations before a new campaign is launched.

The art of war is cloudy, the people and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, which shows its importance.

And many times, once one's own grain and grass are sneak attacked, it will cause instability in the army's morale, or even a defeat situation.

This also shows the importance of food.

Su Shi is a mobile supply depot, whether it is food, ordnance or war horses, as long as he is there, there is no need to worry about the replenishment of these items. With this alone, as long as Su Shi thinks about it, as long as the Great Song Dynasty has enough determination, it will not be a problem to pacify these neighboring and small countries.

One of the main reasons why the Su family army will be so powerful in a short period of time and break into a great reputation is the existence of Su Shi, which is the existence of the system.

Di Qing sighed for a while, and after draining the bag of beef jerky in his hand, he took a few other unknown packets

The beef jerky was carefully put away and put into the underwear, and when he saw that Ji Zhu was still looking at him, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said, "Don't joke, I'm really hungry."

"Understand, understand." Ji Zhu nodded sincerely.

He used to be a battalion commander of the Western Army, and he can be said to know very well what the Western Army looks like.

"Hehe, I'm full, I've drunk enough, I've got strength all my body, and it's dawning, are we going to dry?" Di Qing took a breath, there was food in his stomach, and at this moment, his whole spirit was much better than before.

"Doesn't the army need to take a break?" The war was about to start so soon, which was somewhat unexpected by Ji Zhu, who originally wanted the Western Army to have a good rest for a morning.

"No, I don't. Food is limited, and if we don't start a war while everyone is full, once the situation stalemates, I'm afraid there will be new problems." Di Qing shook his head, he didn't dare to wait any longer.

This time, the Su family army came to help, what if there is a crisis next time?

Who will help them?

Seeing Di Qing's persistence, Ji Zhu understood that the other party really didn't want to rest anymore, so he said, "Okay, even if you want to break through, I don't know which direction General Di will choose?"

"Which direction?" Di Qing was stunned.

According to his meaning, of course, it is to break through to the south, and fight out of the encirclement first.

You can also break through to the north and find a way to join Wang Xin's department.

Of course, if you choose the latter, you will most likely face more enemy encirclement.

It will attract the enemies who surround Wang Xin's department.

It seems that there are only these two options, but Ji Zhu asked himself this kind of question, and Di Qing felt that the other party should have other ideas, so he smiled and asked, "But I don't know if General Ji has a goal?"

"Yes, let's break out to the southeast."

"Southeast?" This answer made Di Qing stunned.

"Yes, it's the southeast. To tell the truth, we have received definite news that our 50,000 reinforcements from the Great Song Dynasty have rushed out of the Chitang Pass in the east, and after joining them, our strength will be strengthened, which will be more conducive to the next roundup against the enemy."

Ji Zhu said with a smile on his face. Just now, he learned the news from the walkie-talkie that 50,000 reinforcements from Chitang Pass had left the customs.

"Chitang Pass reinforcements?" Receiving this answer, Di Qing's eyes showed shamelessness.

Before he came, he knew that there were 50,000 reinforcements from the Great Song Dynasty there, and he thought that once he made a move, the other party would cooperate. But from the beginning to the end, he didn't see any intention of sending troops there, so he gave up this idea early.

Unexpectedly, Ji Zhu still had illusions about them, it was simply an army as cowardly as a mouse.

Especially Huang Gaoyi, who led the troops, only sought self-preservation, completely ignoring the overall situation, what is the point of joining up with such a person.

As if seeing Di Qing's disdain, Ji Zhu smiled and said, "General Di, the situation is different. Huang Gaoyi, who did not dare to fight, has been taken down, and now he has been replaced by the new privy envoy Bao Zhengbao as the main general, this is a man who dares to fight, and we can rest assured that we will join them."

It was not Huang Gaoyi who came, but Bao Zheng.

And Bao Zheng also became the new privy envoy.

Di Qing didn't know all this news, and he would inevitably be a little surprised when he heard this.

can think about it, Ji Zhu just appeared on the battlefield, maybe he sent troops to save himself after learning the news, and he was relieved at the moment. Look at the book

"Master Bao, I have heard of it, even if I change the main general, I can give it a try."

Di Qing did not choose to refuse. After all, he didn't want to just go back to the Western Army like this.

The two reached an agreement, and Ji Zhu laughed, "Even if the general agrees, then we will discuss the matter of breaking through next." Let's see how we can mobilize the enemy on the opposite side, so that we can achieve the goal of breaking through with minimal cost."

......

The Su family came, and they also broke through the outer defense line, allowing them to join the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty.

When the news came, he didn't hide his old voice in the big tent and scolded General Liang De with a stinking scolding on his head and face.

In terms of combat power, the Western Xia cavalry is naturally the first in the world.

Even when they were fighting against the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, they were more victorious and less defeated at this stage, and there were many examples of winning more with less.

This time, they were in an absolute position in terms of strength.

Strategically, it has also taken the lead.

But in such a good situation, it was still broken by the Su family's army, and the goal of joining forces with the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty was achieved.

Liang De stood in the tent, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

It wasn't until he was tired of scolding and returned to his chair that he dared to speak, "General, please give the last general a chance to make up for his mistakes. This time, we will definitely wipe out the besieged Di Qing and the Su family's army, and let the world know that our Western Xia cavalry is strong."

"Okay, Ben is giving you a chance. A suggestion to you, the enemy is surrounded and has little food and grass, and if you can't win a quick victory, you don't need to rush to attack, just block them here."

didn't hide the old voice and scolded and scolded, and in the bottom of his heart, he still recognized Liang De's command ability, otherwise he would have changed generals a long time ago.

"Thank you, General."

Feeling that he didn't hide his old voice, Liang De said with some emotion. Then he turned around and went to arrange.

70,000 cavalry, this time they did not hide their old news were handed over to Liang De, which is not unimportant.

With these 70,000 cavalry in hand, Liang De chose to put 10,000 men in each of the four directions of the encircled Song army in the east, west, south, and north.

The remaining 30,000 are mobile forces, and once the direction in which the other side wants to break through is determined, they will continue to encircle and chase and intercept them. Strive to consume the opponent's forces by blocking, so as to achieve the maximum result with the least attrition.

The 70,000 cavalry of Western Xia were waiting for the Song army to break through.

If the Song army did not choose to break through, they would have waited in place. Anyway, if you wait one more day, you will consume one more day of the other party's food, and the overall situation will be beneficial to them.
