Chapter 249: The Battle Ahead

Wang Qing was furious in the palace, overturned the bookcase, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on it fell to the ground, even those folds flew everywhere.

Shouzhou was lost, the two pioneers of Yutai and Liu Yuan were ambushed by the Song army, Liu Yuan died in battle, and Yutai relied on his personal martial arts and bravery, and took more than 1,000 people from the defeated army to the rear Gong Duan.

Gong Duan's army rushed to the tail of the Song army, but who knew that it was also ambushed, but the Song army did not seem to be strong, and both sides had losses, Gong Duan retreated thirty miles, and Shouzhou was lost in front.

Wang Qing scolded above: "Ambush, ambush, two vanguards ambush, Gong Duan, the marshal can also be ambushed, they are all fools!" ”

The people below didn't dare to answer, and Wang Qing continued to scold: "Du Bao said that he met an enemy general, and he actually fought with him without a victory, where did such a general come from in the Song army?" It is ridiculous to say that it is not Zhao Ta's child, if there is such a person who can recruit and fight, he would not have been sent a long time ago, but only sent out now, is Zhao Ji dizzy! ”

Li Zhu came out of the class at this time and said: "Your Majesty, please take a moment to calm the anger of the thunder, the so-called victory and defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the war report has also been observed, although Shouzhou was lost, but from the Gong Duan army was ambushed, but both sides have their own losses, the Song army is still the Song army, and there is nothing surprising, although the person who commands the army has changed, but the Song army's combat strength is still weak, and there is no difference from before, so there is no need to worry. ”

Zhao Ta was secretly thinking to himself at this moment, judging from the battle situation, Zong Ze at least divided the team into four, attacking one in Shouzhou, ambushing two teams in Yutai and Liu Yuan, and then ambushing one in Gong Duan.

The troops he brought to conquer Wang Qing this time were all horse infantry armies under the jurisdiction of the Guards and Pro-Army Division.

But these horse infantry troops are not the same as each other, he has been trained to be stationed around Tokyo, and in any case, he must be stronger than those soldiers of the front division of the palace, and at the worst he can run faster than the soldiers of the front division of the palace.

However, he never practiced the forbidden troops stationed in Xijing, Nanjing and other places, although those forbidden troops were not around Tokyo, but they were also subordinate to the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, and the combat power of these people was far inferior to those soldiers he had trained.

According to the several battles mentioned by Wang Qing, Zhao Ta could roughly judge that those who attacked Shouzhou and ambushed Yutai and Liu Yuan should be the Tokyo forbidden army that he had trained, and those who ambushed Gong Duan's main army should be those forbidden troops who had not been trained.

These forbidden troops who have not been trained, even if they ambush each other, still do not take much advantage, Li Zhu said that each has a loss, that should be about the same casualties as each other.

Zhao Ta didn't know why Zong Ze arranged it like this, but he thought that there was always a reason for him, or in Zong Ze's heart, it was more important to take Shouzhou first.

In line with the principle of not using suspicious people and employing people, Zhao Ta didn't think much about this matter, since Shouzhou was won, the front must be in a state of confrontation, and I don't know what arrangements Wang Qing wants to make here.

I saw Wang Qing looking at Li Zhu with an ugly face above: "Prime Minister, what is the best plan to break the enemy?" ”

Li Zhu glanced at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and said with a class salute: "Your Majesty, since Shouzhou has been lost, there must be a confrontation ahead, and then send troops over to reinforce it." ”

Wang Qing heard this: "But now there are only more than 40,000 soldiers left in Luzhou......

Li Zhu said: "Luzhou can send another 10,000 soldiers and horses to advance along the east road to the direction of Shouzhou, so that it can not only support the main force of the Chinese army, but also prevent the Song army from bypassing the east road to attack Luzhou." ”

Wang Qing nodded when he heard this, and said: "What the prime minister said is extremely true, I am afraid that the Song army will come to attack at this moment!" ”

Li Zhu continued: "Your Majesty, Gwangju and Huangzhou each send out 2,500 soldiers, and after gathering 5,000 men and horses, they can march to Shouzhou from the west road, so that the three routes of army and horses will be killed together, and they are not afraid that the Song army will not be defeated, and if the Song army retreats to Shouzhou, it will besiege the city!" ”

Wang Qing thought for a few breaths and laughed loudly: "The prime minister really has a good plan, then Gu will now order Guangzhou and Huangzhou to send troops from the west road!" ”

Zhao Ta glanced at Liyan Nazha below, Liyan Nazha looked unhappy, originally she wanted that after the Song army occupied Shouzhou, she would come to Luzhou in three ways, but Li Zhu's words turned into Luzhou's side to mobilize the Third Route Army to fight Shouzhou.

Wang Qingdao: "Duan Five! ”

Duan Wu went out of class and said: "The minister is here." ”

Wang Qingdao: "Order you to order 10,000 military horses and march to Shouzhou along the East Road, and you must be careful of the ambush of the Song army." ”

Duan Wudao: "The minister receives the order!" ”

Wang Qing said again: "Be cautious on the road, don't let the Song army take the east road to attack Luzhou, and return every day!" ”

Duan Wudao: "It's the king, the minister has written it down!" ”

After Duan Wu left the hall, Wang Qing looked at the people below and said, "You Aiqing still have any clever plans to break the enemy, you can speak freely." ”

His Royal Highness everyone looked at each other, the battle situation has become clear at this moment, where is there any clever plan, as long as the other party can't sneak attack Luzhou, then the victory or defeat depends on the skills of the commander in front, the Song army's combat strength is weak, as long as there is no accident, at least it is a confrontation situation.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Qing's face sank again, and after saying "scatter", he got up and brushed his sleeves and left.

In the evening, the stars are sparse and the moon is light.

After Zhao Ta patrolled the Luzhou defense, it was midnight, he dismounted in the Xiping Gate of the West City, took a hundred soldiers, and walked into the urn city and went straight to the city wall.

There are urn cities on all sides of Luzhou City, the west gate is repaired here in the West Ping Gate, you can usually hide the soldiers to rest, the top is the city head, it is the main city gate of the west city of Luzhou.

When he ascended to the top of the city, he saw two small soldiers behind each battlement, one standing and watching, the other sitting and resting, and so on and so forth.

In addition, there were many small soldiers in the city with spears in their hands, constantly walking back and forth to patrol, and one of the small soldier leaders saw him coming up, and immediately came over and saluted: "General! ”

Zhao Ta glanced at the little soldier and said, "What about General Shangguan?" ”

Xiao Bing said: "General Shangguan is in the city tower, but do you want to go to Tongyu Xiao?" ”

Zhao Ta shook his head and said, "No, General Ben just went over directly." ”

He asked his 100 soldiers to rest in the city for a while, and walked alone to the tower.

The Xiping Gate guarded by Liyanaza is also a two-person change of guard, but it is calculated day and night, unlike Zhao Ta and Zhuo Mao, who rotate day and night.

However, there are castle towers and urn cities here to rest, although it is a long time, but it is much easier to say than Zhao Ta's duty of patrolling around.

The city gate tower is not big, divided into the inside and outside, the outside is actually a narrow wall, weapons and bows and arrows can be placed on this side, as for the inside is about five or seven steps long and wide, there is not much things, only a hardwood table and a chair.

There was an oil lamp on the table, and Lyanazar was looking at something by the light.

Seeing Zhao Ta coming in, she said, "Where did General Li come from?" ”

Zhao Ta's eyes swept the outside, and said: "Patrol here, come up and take a look, the battle situation in front has been tight recently, and I would like to warn the general to be cautious." ”

Liyanaza said: "I don't dare to slack off, I look out day and night, lest I miss it." ”

After finishing speaking, she said in a low voice: "If General Li is tired, you can take a break here." ”

Zhao Ta smiled, his eyes fell on Liyanazha's hand, and he shook his head and said, "Tired but not tired, General Shangguan, what are you looking at?" ”
