"If, if you are discovered in advance, you can take as much as you want with you, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, sir, I will do my best in the end." Sun Wenfu said as he patted his chest in assurance.
"Take care." Zhang Jian patted Sun Wenfu on the shoulder, turned around, entered the carriage, and headed straight for Fanyang City behind him under the escort of four hundred soldiers from an infantry camp.
Just when Zhang Jian left Qigou Pass, Su Shi had already called the generals and arranged the next battle.
"To fight, first attack the 30,000 Liao troops outside Qigou Pass, then go all the way north, capture Fanyang, and enter Zhuozhou. Destroy as much as you can. But please remember, we only have half a month."
That is to say, when half a month is up, the whole army will retreat."
"No matter what you are doing at that time, you must retreat. And you can only retreat after dark. Go back to Xincheng first, then go to Yi County, pass Feihu City, Lingqiu City, and return to the Song Dynasty from Taixi Mountain.
Do you understand?"
This was clearly the secret way the Liao army entered the Song Dynasty before, but now it was used by Su Shi.
"I understand." All the generals responded in unison.
"Okay, let's prepare for the attack next. General Hu Yunfeng and Shi Qianshan will stay here for a while."
After the words fell, everyone went to prepare. Su Shi's eyes fell on the two generals who were left behind.
"You two, your goal is to capture Yixian County, Feihu City and other places. If the city is difficult to attack, don't attack by force. Just sweep the surrounding areas and create enough conditions for the army to pass in half a month."
Su Shi chose Hu Yunfeng to do this because he knew the situation in this area very well.
, it’s like finding a local snake.
Shi Qianshan's 30,000 Xinzhou soldiers were chosen because they were mainly infantry. Without horses, once the army marched, it would affect the overall speed. In addition, the Xinzhou army was indeed brave in combat, so we left the matter to Shi Qian.
Shansuobu, he can rest assured.
"General Shi, you will leave your war horses for use by civilian soldiers from other states. I will also draw troops from several other civilian armies to make up for your thirty thousand."
"Thank you, Marshal. Please rest assured, Marshal, we will definitely complete the mission." Shi Qianshan felt Su Shi's trust, and at this time, his eyes seemed a bit like a man who would die for his confidant.
In the sixth year of Qingli, it is early September.
Just after Zhang Jian left Qigou Pass during the day, at night, Su Shi commanded the Song army to launch a night attack outside the pass.
On this same night, Sun Wenfu was commanding a team of five thousand Liao troops to leave the pass at night.
When Zhang Jian left, he said that the army should retreat as little as possible without being discovered by Su Shi, so Sun Wenfu adopted the method of retreating in batches.
Unexpectedly, the time he chose to retreat actually coincided with the time Su Shi chose to attack.
This may be a coincidence, or it may be predestined that just as Sun Wenfu sent away the five thousand Liao soldiers, countless Song troops rushed out of Qigou Pass directly opposite and launched a fierce frontal attack on them.
There was no temptation, and a large army came up to escort them. A total of 80,000 Song troops came straight out of the pass like tigers out of their cages.
Most of the two thousand Liao soldiers who were responsible for guarding the first line of defense were killed before they could even hold on for half a stick of incense, and the rest headed for the second line of defense.
second line of defense
There were only a thousand Liao soldiers, and they could not stop Su Shi's cavalry. They did not even hold on to half a stick of incense before the defense line was broken.
"Crazy, Song Jun is crazy."
While directing the Liao troops to counterattack, Sun Wenfu ordered the 10,000 Liao troops who had just gathered to retreat back.
"You go to Fanyang City. Master Zhang Jian is waiting for you there. He also needs you." After giving the order to the 10,000 Liao soldiers, Sun Wenfu turned around and said to the remaining 10,000 Liao soldiers: "Let's go.
, everyone join me to kill the Song soldiers and let them know that there are warriors in our Liao army."
Sun Wenfu did not take the opportunity to leave. He was determined to die and wanted to stay to block the Song army's attack.
He had to buy time for the army to retreat, otherwise, the Song army would definitely attack them. Then not only them, but also Fan Yangcheng behind him would be in danger if he was not prepared.
It's just that he thinks too highly of himself.
Or maybe he looked down on Su Shi too much.
Since Su Shi decided to attack the Liao soldiers and beat them so hard that they would not dare to spy on the Song Dynasty for a short period of time, how could there be any chance of staying behind during the attack?
If I had to describe it, it would be like the waves on the sea, continuous and endless, and it would not be finished until the enemy was completely killed.
Apart from some of the Baozhou soldiers, Xiongzhou soldiers, and Bazhou soldiers who were selected and sent to the Xinzhou soldiers, there were still more than 50,000 people left.
They were divided into three groups, with more than 10,000 people in each group, and launched a desperate charge.
According to the pre-war requirements, the troops from the three states attacked in stages. Each main attacker only needed to move forward 500 meters, that is, one mile.
They can stop and continue charging with another army. They may stay in place to clean the battlefield or replenish their physical strength, waiting for their turn before launching the next attack.
This rotational attack method can strengthen the Song army's attack power to the greatest extent, and will not make them really tired and fall down on the road of charge, without any remaining strength.
As soon as the battle began, the soldiers from the three states rushed forward like crazy.
As the first batch of attackers, the Baozhou Army captured the first line of defense, then cleaned the battlefield, rested, and waited for the order to attack.
The second batch of attacking Xiongzhou troops took the second line of defense, cleaned the battlefield and rested.
The third batch of attacking Bazhou troops captured the third line of defense and began to rest.
The fourth batch replaced the Baozhou Army who had rested for a while and continued to launch a fierce attack.
Repeatedly like this, the Liao soldiers always faced the Song army, which had the most energy and physical strength. This made them lose ground and retreat.
It was not until Sun Wenfu appeared with more than 10,000 main troops that the situation was temporarily relieved.
But at this time, the three-state army received new orders. Instead of taking turns to attack, everyone should join forces to fight and destroy the Liao army on the opposite side.
Over the years, Sanzhou has been bullied by the Liao people.
Many times, they became prey. When the Liao people were unhappy, they would come to hunt for grass and grain, rob or kill them, and did not take them seriously at all.
Now that Su Shi has emerged and there are organizers, everyone is gathered together for revenge. When the soldiers of the three states take action, no one will be soft-hearted.
Some people were killing and shouting loudly, "Father, mother, my son has avenged you."
Talking, one knife
It was chopped down, and the head of a Liao soldier fell to the ground.
There are countless scenes like this. It was originally a dark night, but the soldiers of the three states were so crazy, making this night appear even more strange.
"rush!"
Seeing that the Liao army had not rushed out any reinforcements for a while, Yang Wenguang, who had been waiting for a long time, gave the order and rushed out of Qigou Pass with 6,000 vanguard cavalry, heading straight towards the battlefield where the two sides were fighting.
past.
Xu Ba led 10,000 reserve troops, Lei Meng led 5,000 Longwu cavalry, and Ji Zhu led nearly 5,000 black cavalry. They rushed out of the pass one after another and rushed straight to the north.
On the battlefield, Sun Wenfu slashed with his sword and killed another Song civilian soldier, but then he gasped and fainted.
In this short period of time, double digits of the Song civilian soldiers died in his hands.
Speaking of which, the strength of these civilian soldiers of the Song Dynasty is really mediocre. They don't know how to cooperate, and they have no rules when it comes to fighting. Even the way they use guns and swords is full of loopholes.
These civilian armies fought solely with brute force.
But these people are not afraid of death.
Even in the night, these civilian soldiers have a pair of luminous eyes. When they look at them, they are like gangsters seeing beautiful women, just like businessmen seeing countless money.
People pounce.
If you can kill the first civilian army, the second one will appear, and the third one will appear...
In short, in one sentence, these civilian soldiers will never stop advancing unless they kill you.
Sun Wenfu also served in the frontier army, but the Song people in his eyes were not like this.
Perhaps none of them
There is a lack of some bloody people, but most of them are just people who follow the crowd. Once they find that something cannot be done against, or the enemy is too fierce, they will retreat.
It is precisely because the Song soldiers were not ruthless enough that the Liao army did not take them seriously, so they would go to the Song Dynasty to hunt grass and valleys from time to time. It was both a training and a deterrent, and it could also seize some foreign wealth. This was what many Liao soldiers liked to do.
One of the things.
It's just that the people of the Song Dynasty, who had always been as cowardly as sheep, suddenly became hardened.
Facing tens of thousands of Liao soldiers, shouldn't they be afraid and retreat?
Now they can charge without fear of death. Are these the Song people they know?
Or does Su Shi really know some magic that can instantly change a person's nature?
Sun Wenfu couldn't figure it out and had no time to think about it, because the next Song people rushed in front of him and slashed at him with a big sword.
The long knife in his hand blocked and slipped, and he put the incoming knife aside, then turned around and slashed, bringing up a large amount of blood.
The injured Song people on the opposite side did not fall down, but dragged their bleeding bodies and continued to sweep towards him with their swords.
After blocking and slashing back again, the sword landed on the skull of the Song people. The sword slipped out of the way. When it was pulled out, there were obvious gaps in it.
Finally, the Song man fell to the ground. But I don't know if he saw it wrong or if he was hallucinating. There was a sense of relief and relief in the eyes of the Song man who fell to the ground.
It was as if he had accomplished some great initiative.
In times of war, no one knew how important food was to ordinary people
The importance of people.
There is a good saying that although some people are still alive, they are already dead. This can also be applied to the people on the border who don't even have food.
