For Xiao Yanxiong, who is in charge of the army of the Northern Privy Council and the envoy of the Northern Privy Council, fighting is his destiny.
In the darkness, he was looking ahead.
"My lord, the general of Tanzhou is here."
A general was brought over.
"I've met my husband."
"Speak!" Xiao Yanxiong's eyes were still looking into the distance and his tone was very calm.
The general said: "The Song army is just besieging Youzhou."
"How far did the Song army send its rangers?"
"We arrived at Tanzhou City and then went back."
Xiao Yanxiong nodded and asked, "Have our army's scouts returned?"
The general behind him said: "My husband, I haven't come back yet."
Xiao Yanxiong was silent.
Time passed, and when the sound of horse hooves was heard, someone stepped forward to greet them.
"Ms. sir!"
This was the sound of joy, and the Jizhou guard couldn't help but turn around and look.
In the darkness, someone hurried over.
The visitor was wearing a large cloak and even a felt hat. After saluting, he said: "Ms. sir, this is the messenger coming from Youzhou City."
Xiao Yanxiong stared at the five people behind him, "Verify identity."
Someone came forward and reported later: "Mr. Xianggong, it's correct. This is the letter from Xianggong Yelu."
"Yeluxiu..." Xiao Yanxiong took the letter and someone beside him pulled away a thick piece of leather.
Then a small torch was lit, and Xiao Yanxiong squatted down and read the letter carefully.
After a while, he stood up, waved his hand, the torch went out, and the surroundings returned to darkness.
"The Song army captured the fortress. This was what I expected, but it was so fast..."
"Have the fortress been lost? Sir, are they too useless?"
Xiao Yanxiong sneered: "Yeluxiu defended the city, but the Song army used a kind of firearm, said to be a barrel, and I guess it was an iron bullet. Those iron bullets directly destroyed the earthen wall, and then the Song army used crossbows to shoot directly..."
"Iron bullet?"
"Yes, iron bullet."
Xiao Yanxiong said: "Our army must pay attention to these firearms when attacking, but Yelu Xiu said there are only dozens of them, so it is better this way."
He said to the Jizhou garrison: "Go back, remember, hold on!"
"yes."
After the Jizhou garrison left, Xiao Yanxiong said: "A certain leader came with 80,000 troops. If the Song army wanted to block the gates of Youzhou City and block the counterattack in the city, they would have to leave at least 50,000 troops. In this way, they could Only 60,000 to 70,000 people came, this battle...Da Liao will win!"
He turned around, looked at the darkness behind him, and said, "Let the whole army prepare. In three days, a certain person will attack the Song army!"
"As you command!"
The darkness suddenly moved, and the boundless cavalry began to move.
…
Three days later.
Xianghe.
The scouts of the Liao army encountered the scouts of the Song army.
The two sides fought for a while, each suffering losses and then paying off.
"They were discovered by the Song Army. A surprise attack is impossible. So... let's attack."
Eighty thousand Liao cavalry were moving like locusts, gradually approaching Youzhou.
"The Liao army is coming."
In the camp, Fu Bi convened people to discuss matters.
"The enemy troops came from Jizhou and were approaching all the way, with about 70,000 to 80,000 troops."
"Eighty thousand, our army is left with 40,000, so well matched, we can fight!"
"Yes, there are artillery, divine crossbows, and cavalry. What are we afraid of?"
"..."
Shen An and Fu Bi looked at each other and felt that their morale was useful.
"Get ready."
Shen An said: "The army will set off at night, and more scouts will be sent out."
"Departure at night..."
Everyone was puzzled.
Shen An and Fu Bi didn't explain either.
News kept coming, bringing news that the Liao army was approaching.
"The rangers are fighting!"
"The Liao army covered up the attack, and our rangers retreated, leaving only a small number of scouts to keep an eye on the enemy."
When the sun went down, the news stopped.
Shen An picked up his helmet and put it on, cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, I'm leaving right now."
Fu Bi stood up and looked at him, "Anbei, this is a national war. I can't say take care of yourself. You..."
He gritted his teeth and said, "If you lose... don't come back!"
If Shen An were defeated, the blame for the defeat would be one thing. Those in the court who opposed the New Deal would take advantage of the decline of the Song Dynasty to be cruel to him. No one could protect him at that time!
The old rich guy is really nice to me!
Shen An smiled and said: "Xiao Yanxiong is here. He wants to be the second Brother Yelvxiu. He wants to break our backbone again! But a certain person will make him understand... Once Han'er stands up, no one can think of it. Let’s bend down again!”
Fu Bi nodded, "Okay! I stay here to ensure that the Liao army in the city will not find that there are only 20,000 troops in the camp."
Shen An smiled and said: "Someone left something good in the camp, Prime Minister Fu. If the enemy comes out of the city to attack, then evacuate the camp and let them in."
"I know that you talk too much, so go ahead."
Fu Bi accompanied him outside the tent and suddenly slapped him hard on the shoulder, but refused to speak any more.
Shen An nodded behind his back, Li Baojiu brought the war horse, and Huang Chun and the Mangshan Army were waiting quietly beside him.
Shen An mounted his horse, raised his hand to Fu Bi, and then disappeared into the night with the Mangshan Army.
Fu Bi stood there silently and turned around for a long time.
In the early morning of the next day, smoke was everywhere in the army.
"We must create smoke for fifty thousand people!"
Fu Bi was making his rounds and would taste breakfast from time to time. If he ate breakfast that didn't taste good, he would blow his beard and glare at the cook.
The general who stayed behind said tangledly: "Prime Minister, Shen Longtu is so courageous. Only 20,000 people are left here. Once the enemy attacks, the infantry will probably be wiped out."
Fu Bi looked at him and said in a deep voice: "This is a national war. Shen An told me that he can defeat Xiao Yanxiong even with 70,000 people, but what he wants is not just defeat, he wants to interrupt the Liao people in one battle The backbone of the Song Dynasty, just like the Sorghum River more than eighty years ago, made the Song Dynasty the overlord of this land, while the Liao people would hide in Zhongjing Road to lick their wounds.
So I agreed with his decision. If dying here can bring Shen An victory, then I will die without regrets! "
The generals are not cowards, they just feel a little guilty.
After hearing Fu Bi's words, they said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Prime Minister Fu, even if we all die in the battle under Youzhou City, the Liao army will never be able to fight again!"
If the 20,000 Song troops fought tooth and nail, the more than 30,000 Liao troops in the city would also pay a huge price.
Fu Bi nodded, "Okay!"
The generals went to arrange their own arrangements, while Fu Bi and several civil servants watched from the spot.
"These are the warriors of the Song Dynasty. Have you discovered it? They now walk with their heads held high, and their eyes are full of confidence."
Fu Bi turned around and looked at Youzhou City, "Shen An said that once the enemy troops leave the city and attack with all their strength, I will let me lead the army in retreat, but he underestimated me! If the enemy troops come, I will die with them!"
…
After breakfast, the Song army attacked again.
Thousands of cavalry showed off their power under the city, and the infantry used a wave of crossbows to cause many casualties to the Liao army, and then retreated.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
Brother Yelvxiu said excitedly: "The main force of the Song army went to fight the reinforcements. Do they only have more than 20,000 people at this moment?"
Everyone looked around.
But the camp is not very close, and the weather in spring is a bit humid, so the visibility is not that good, making it impossible to judge.
"Ms. sir!"
Everyone was looking at Yelvxiu.
Attack.
Or not to attack?
Yelvxiu was thinking about it.
"Song Jun came out again. Who is that?"
One of the riders came out first and shouted sharply: "It's Fu Bi!"
Yelu Xiu sighed, "Shen An leads the army to fight, Fu Bi stays behind...that's all!"
It was impossible for Shen An to leave only 20,000 troops to Fu Bi, that would be to let Fu Bi die.
At this moment, the empty city plan is flashing.
…
In the early morning, mist drifted over the wilderness.
There are already traces of tender grass on the ground, dotted with stars, which makes people want to get off their horses to touch and smell the breath of spring.
A team of scouts appeared.
"Shen Longtu, the enemy is five miles ahead."
Shen An nodded and immediately ordered, "Everyone needs to repair and eat something."
The Liao army on the opposite side also stopped, and the scout said that they were also eating.
This will be a bloody battle, and only if you have a full stomach can you fight for a long time.
The two armies began to eat in tacit understanding.
Later, the army set off again.
"Ahead is the Sorghum River!"
Shen An pointed forward with his riding whip and said: "This river originates from Youzhou and flows all the way here."
"Cross the river!"
The army crossed the Gaoliang River and immediately saw the enemy's cavalry.
"Shen Longtu, do you want to stop setting up the formation?"
The Song army numbered 70,000, and they were now afraid of a surprise attack by the Liao army.
"keep going!"
Shen An's eyes were full of excitement.
This is a moment worth remembering!
The Song army came to the Gaoliang River again, and so did the enemy's reinforcements.
History always makes people feel that fate is inevitable.
When the two sides were two miles apart, they each stopped.
"artillery!"
Shishen woke up this morning and started doing his homework. He had been praying that he would win today.
The artillery was pushed to the front.
"The distance...is preset to be two hundred and fifty steps!"
Both sides are silent.
This is not a pause; it is a break.
The charge of a war horse requires explosive power. The more rest you have at this moment, the more powerful the subsequent impact will be.
"That's Shen An."
Xiao Yanxiong pointed his riding whip at the surrounded Shen An and asked.
"Yes, sir, that person is Shen An."
Those five people had seen Shen An at the top of the city a while ago, so when they saw him now, they actually gritted their teeth in hatred.
"Very young." Xiao Yanxiong knew that this was hatred caused by fear, which made him even more curious about Shen An's methods.
"The Gaoliang River is right next to it. More than eighty years ago, the Song army was defeated here. More than eighty years later, it will still be like this!"
Xiao Yanxiong raised his hand.
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
Countless cheers gathered together, and morale rose sharply.
The war horse was restless, snoring and shaking its head.
"That's Xiao Yanxiong."
Shen An put down the telescope and waved his hand over there, as calmly as if he had met an old friend.
Wang Zhenchao said excitedly: "Shen Longtu, can you give them something powerful?"
"That's fine!"
Shen An nodded, "Raise the hot air balloon and let our Daliao friends see the excitement."
Behind, a group of people were ready.
"Tie a rope and light a fire!"
One end of the rope was tied to several large cars connected together, and the other end was tied to the bottom of the hot air balloon.
"Go up!"
A short sergeant stood inside, holding a telescope in his hand, and said proudly: "Someone is going to heaven!"
Xiao Yanxiong is arranging tactics.
"We have to pay a huge price to break through the defense line formed by the Song Army. We must be bold and fearless of death. Tell the soldiers that their pension will be higher than ever before. His Majesty said that those who died in battle, they Their families will be taken care of, and their children will become His Majesty’s most reliable warriors..."
There were guards around Yelu Hongji, and those people were treated the most favorably in the entire army.
This is temptation!
In this era, human life is worthless. UU Reading www.uukanssnet If you retreat, you will die. If you move forward, you may not even have a chance to survive, and your family will benefit.
Which of these two options would you choose?
Of course, rush forward!
Xiao Yanxiong saw the full fighting spirit with satisfaction, "Let the Song army have no time to pay attention to the front, and then attack from the left and right wings. The Song army will definitely be in chaos at that time, and it will be difficult to detect in time..."
This is the tactics that the Liao people are best at: entangle you head-on so that you have no time to take care of others, and then attack you from the flank when you are most confused.
In the Battle of Gaoliang River that year, Brother Yelvxiu gave the Song Dynasty a blow and immediately defeated the Northern Expedition army.
Xiao Yanxiong wanted to replay that scene at this moment.
"Ms. sir!"
Someone was shouting, his voice trembling, as if he had encountered a god-like fear.
"Why are you panicking?"
Xiao Yanxiong raised his head, and his open mouth could no longer be closed.
Just above the Song Army's formation, something was floating at the moment.
This is a miracle!
