Chapter 571: False is easy to be true, and true is also false
"That's right, if it's Su Shi, why didn't he capture Xijing, it is said that since he made a move, it is still so unexpected, he shouldn't miss it." Zhang Jian also had doubts in his heart.
"Alright, now is not the time to think about this, it will take time for the carrier pigeons to arrive at us, which means that these battles happened at least a day or two ago, now let's talk about what we can do." Xiao Ying looked at Zhang Jian who was still thinking about Su Shi's defeat, and couldn't help but be angry.
No matter who comes, isn't it a good thing that you can't capture Xijing?
"We? We should immediately mobilize the forces we are gathering now and go to the Xijing area, so that we can block the Su Shi army there, and then completely wipe them out there. Zhang Jian was surprised and excited when he thought that Su Shi had entered the Liao realm again.
Su Shi's lone army can indeed cause them some damage, but why not be an opportunity for them?
"We will send troops now, but our army has not yet been assembled, and there is still a lot of grain and grass that has not been transported." Xiao Ying asked rhetorically.
"It doesn't matter, the grain and grass are not brought up, so bring as much as you want, and you can order other cities to provide them along the way. As for the army that has not been assembled, then you can bring as much as you can gather, believe me, as long as you can kill Su Shi, the other Song generals will not have to worry. ”
Zhang Jian said with great certainty, and at the same time looked at Xiao Ying expectantly.
The family is the Xiao family, and they are the generals who went out this time, and compared with them, they only have the right to make suggestions, and they have no real right to command the army.
Seeing Zhang Jian say so sure, and looking at himself so full of expectations, Xiao Ying seemed to be affected
to the infection. "Well, Ben will listen to you once, and now that we have gathered an army of 100,000, we will inform them and prepare to go."
Su Shi, who was nagged by Zhang Jian, had already led a large army to wreak havoc near Datong Mansion in Xijing at this time, and then ran to the northeast, aiming straight to Changqing City.
It takes time for carrier pigeons to deliver messages.
Zhang Jian and the others received the news a day and a half ago, and Su Shi fought this time difference, the purpose of which was to have more independent time for him to carry out more destruction of Liaodi.
As for why Xijing of the Liao State was not captured, it was because Datong Mansion was too big, and it was not impossible for Su Shi to capture it, but he needed to pay a certain price.
Su Shi, who can't get any military replenishment, will definitely not waste too much time and consume too many troops in a certain place.
His purpose was to wreak havoc on Liao, mobilize the so-called 200,000 troops sent by the Liao State to the Song Dynasty, and then seek an opportunity to inflict heavy losses.
This is the main purpose, as for the siege, it is when it can be attacked, and it needs to pay too much price, he would rather give up.
In one day, after more than ten villages near Datong Mansion were all captured, Su Shi led his army to leave in the dark and rushed to Changqing City in the northeast.
Evergreen City was naturally prepared, and when Su Shi's army arrived, the other party was closed, and the city tower was full of various boulders, sleepers, fire oil, strong bows and other things used to defend the city.
The army passed by from outside Changqing City in such a grand manner, which caused the Liao army defending the city to hate the root of their teeth. But he didn't dare to really open the city gate and rush out.
Who knows, this is
Not Su Shi's strategy?
At this time, Su Shi had already changed back to his original outfit, no longer under the banner of Mengqi, but with a battle flag with Song characters written on it.
Su Shi just wants to take this opportunity to tell everyone that if you are here, if you don't want to be unlucky, just stay in the city obediently and don't come out, otherwise, no one will keep you safe.
Passing by Evergreen City without attacking, he followed him to the outside of Tiancheng City on the third day, and this place was still closed.
It doesn't matter, all this is expected by Su Shi, he once again led his troops to the northeast, aiming at Huai'an City.
Along the way, Su Shi did not hide his whereabouts at all, as if he was using this move to tell the Liao people that I, Su Shi, are here, and I am coming in a bright way.
You, what can you do.
Stop and go all the way, the speed of Su Shi's army is not fast, but it is very stable, all the way to the northeast direction, but if you encounter villages along the way, it will inevitably cause some destruction.
When they encountered a city with closed gates, the army passed calmly and without hurry.
really regards Liaoguo as his own backyard, and he can do whatever he wants.
Even several times, Su Shi chose the location of sleeping at night in a place five miles outside the city of Liaoguo.
When the wind is stronger, the smell of food can waft into the city, which is a complete provocation.
But he knew this, but none of the Liao troops dared to go out of the city to fight. This also made the morale of the 30,000 Song troops who followed higher day by day.
More than ten days later, after Su Shi appeared outside Yongxing City, the capital of Fengsheng Prefecture, he suddenly disappeared again.
Su Shi disappeared again, far more blatantly than he appeared
Some of the cities are even more palpitating.
No one knows where his next target will be, which makes the nearby cities panic. And it was at this time that Xiao Ying and Zhang Jian appeared outside Yongxing City with 100,000 Liao troops.
The appearance of Xiao Ying's army made the Liao people in the city see the dawn, and they were all happy and excited, and hurriedly opened the city gate to welcome Xiao Ying's army into the city.
However, Xiao Ying had no intention of entering the city, but after sending some military rations to the city, he divided the 100,000 army into ten branches and scattered to find Su Shi's traces.
Ten Liao armies were all less than thirty miles away, so as to ensure that if any army encountered Su Shi, other comrades could rush to support within half an hour.
Xiao Ying followed Zhang Jian's suggestion, not only divided the 100,000 troops, but also asked the nearby Liao army city to send troops to join the search for Su Shi's traces.
In Zhang Jian's opinion, the Su Shi that can be found is not terrible, what I am afraid of is that if you can't find him, you won't know where he will be when he appears next time.
......
Broken Cloud Ridge.
It is located in the northwest of Yongxing City, less than forty miles away from Wende City in Guihua Prefecture.
The mountains are connected here, and in March, the trees begin to sprout young branches, giving it a spring-like look.
Su Shi with an army of 30,000 was ambushed here.
The mountain bandits here have been wiped out by the third brigade led by Hu Yunfeng.
It has to be said that in many cases, mountain bandits often have more ways to deal with mountain bandits than officers and men to deal with mountain bandits.
"Young marshal, the 100,000 reinforcements of the Liao army have really been mobilized by us, and now we are dividing the troops into ten routes, all the way to 10,000 people
Searching for us, are we going to do something next? Ji Zhu smiled and stood beside Su Shi.
In front of Su Shi was a map of the Liao country drawn by the Flying Eagle Squadron, and he sat in a wheelchair, looking at it while asking, "How many Liao troops are coming in our direction?" ”
"Two teams, each of which is a force of 10,000 people, each with five thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry." Gijuli replied.
"Hehe, these are two pieces of fat." Hearing this, Su Shi also became happy.
Then he raised his head, looked at Ji Zhu and said, "Inform the vanguard army and Long Wuwei to change their clothes, and the black horse is responsible for maneuvering." ”
There was nothing to do with the black horse in this battle, which made Jiju a little depressed. But considering that their black cavalry was the strongest force under the young marshal's tent, and good steel should of course be used on the blade, he replied yes and turned to convey the order.
When Su Shi captured Shanyang City before, he didn't capture the Liao army's uniforms from there, and now is the time to come in handy.
A full 20,000 sets of military uniforms were put on the vanguard army and Long Wuwei, and then the two armies set off from the Broken Cloud Ridge according to the route provided by the Flying Eagle Squadron.
After the army left, Su Shi was still looking at the map in his hand, and finally his eyes fell on Longmen City in the northeast.
The art of war is cloudy, and before you think about winning, you will lose first.
At this time, you are alone, so you must be prepared to retreat at any time if the war does not go well.
Ten thousand dragon guards are heading out of the ridge under the leadership of General Raymond.
This time, the soldiers entered the Liao realm, and all the way around, Raymond's mood was in a state of excitement and excitement.
He knew very well that this time Su Shi was willing to take them to the Liao Realm, because he wanted to
Train a real capable army for His Royal Highness King Jing.
In history, there is no one who can fight without being tempered by countless times of blood and fire.
The opportunity is in front of him, Raymond cherishes it very much, and every time he fights, he will devote 100% of his energy to it.
This time it was the same, sending nearly a hundred scouts to investigate the surrounding situation. Although Raymond knew that around them there was a scout group called the Flying Eagle Squadron, who seemed to be omnipresent and omniscient, but it was better to ask for others than for himself, and he could not rely on others for every battle.
The scouts were sent out, and it didn't take long for someone to rush back and report that a contingent of 10,000 Liao troops had been found ten miles in front of them. Among them, 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry.
"That's them. Everyone, get ready for battle, everyone, put a white scarf around your left arm to show the difference, and set off. Lei Meng's face was excited, and after quickly giving the order, he took 10,000 cavalry and went straight to meet the Liao army coming from the opposite side.
The Liao army directly opposite didn't know that he had been targeted.
In their opinion, although they seem to be an independent army, only 10,000 men, do not forget that around them, there is a large army of Liao that can reinforce them at any time.
But as long as that Song man Su Shi had a little brain, he would not attack them in broad daylight.
The attack will only be at night, when people are unprepared and the line of sight is blocked.
It is this subconscious existence that makes them say that they are defenseless in the daytime, even if the scout in front of them comes with the news that there is a team of 10,000 cavalry of their own on the opposite side
When he was coming to himself, the commander of the Liao State didn't care at all.
