He understands the principle of when enough is enough.
Seeing that Ji Zhuzai had nothing to say, Bao Zheng looked at the others and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
"there is none left?"
All the generals shook their heads.
"Okay, let's go down and get ready. I'm in Chitang Pass, waiting for the good news of your victory." Bao Zheng held his fists and saluted everyone.
This is a courtesy for warriors, and all generals accept it calmly.
In Chitang Pass, the army entered a state of rest at noon. Everyone was sleeping and preparing for the night's action in the best possible way.
In Shigu Mountain, hundreds of miles away from Chitang Pass, Su Shi was also mobilizing before the war.
"Leymeng, this time you are the main force. We will go around to Shizui Town in the north of Wutai area, cut off the Liao army's retreat, and burn the Liao army's food and grass to confuse their minds."
"Shi Qianshan, your army is the front vanguard, dominating, protecting, and heroic. The 50,000 people's army of the Xinsizhou Prefectures are all in your hands. You have only one request. Rush to the Wutai area with a crushing force. While ensuring
Destroy the main force of the Liao army as quickly as possible."
"Xu Ba, you stay at Shigu Mountain with 10,000 forbidden army reserves. When the time comes, attack Xinkou Village with our reinforcements from both sides to join forces."
After making arrangements for his three generals one by one, Su Shi glanced away and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"No."
All three of them stood up straight and answered.
"Okay, if there is no problem, then get ready to go."
There was a movement in Shigu Mountain. However, the 10,000 forbidden army reserves led by Xu Ba were still guarding the outside of the mountain pass, blocking the area.
The Liao army and the Xixia army did not see any clues.
At the end of October, Shigu Mountain became increasingly colder at night.
For this war, Su Shi exchanged some cotton-padded clothes from the system. Although the quality is not as good as down jackets and lighter, for people of this era, they are already excellent things.
After each of the soldiers received a warm cotton coat, they were all in high spirits and became more confident in this battle.
Time soon arrived at night. When night began to fall, Chitang Pass, which had been closed for a long time, opened from the inside, followed by a large number of cavalry. Then the mighty team carried torches and headed straight to Xianzhou Jingle City in the west.
The direction flies away.
The torch attracted the attention of the alien scouts guarding here. Taking this opportunity, the second, Third Route Army did not light the torch, but sneaked into the dark night and headed straight to the east.
The Song army finally moved.
The scout quickly reported the news, and two hours later, the Xixia Army and the Liao Army respectively dispatched cavalry armies and headed towards Jingle City.
The Song army actually wanted to send troops to Jingle City. This was clearly to plant a nail in their rear. This was something the two tribes would never allow to happen.
At this moment, the alien army came out, with the intention of severely inflicting heavy damage on these Song Cavalry.
In fact, neither Wu Zangguyin nor Xiao Xiaoyou are sure that the Song army's goal is Jingle City, but since the Song army has moved, they must move. Regardless of the purpose of the Song people, if they can
If these tens of thousands of Song army cavalry were wiped out in the prefecture area, it would be a great achievement in itself.
Strong people are not afraid of any conspiracy. In their view, strong strength
That's the fundamental thing.
Nearly 100,000 Song troops were hiding in Chitang Pass before. They were helpless. Now that they have come out, they cannot let go of this opportunity.
It would be best to inflict serious damage. As for whether the Song people had any other conspiracy.
The two confident tribes were not afraid, they also wanted to see what tricks the Song people were playing.
The scouts of Liao and Xixia kept wandering around the 40,000 Song troops who had left the pass. But there were still some scouts who stayed outside the pass, wanting to see what the tens of thousands of Song troops wanted to do next.
Little did they know that the tens of thousands of Song troops had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape.
If Liao and Xixia now have the courage to attack Chitang Pass, they will find that it is simply an empty pass.
Only Bao Zheng and a thousand old and weak Song troops remained in the pass.
In the first step, the deception was successful.
After getting out of the pass, the Third Route Army, consisting of 5,000 black cavalry, 6,000 vanguard troops, and 40,000 Western Army cavalry, ran quickly in the dark, bypassed Shiling Pass, and rushed toward the east of Dingxiang City.
Wang Xin also led his 12,000 cavalrymen and came straight towards Xincheng under the cover of darkness.
Wang Xin came with the attitude of giving it a try.
Of course he heard Ji Zhu's previous reminder. He also knew that it was not a good time to break the siege of Xincheng at this time, but he still wanted to take a look.
Take a look to see if there is any chance of attacking the city.
Wang Xin, who was walking forward, didn't know.
Outside Xincheng, there are not many Xixia and Liao soldiers now.
This is not that the two tribes gave up on Xincheng. On the contrary, not only did they not give up, they also used it as bait to attract more Song troops to come to their aid.
In this way, they can enjoy fishing while
Suffering the victory of harvesting the heads of Song soldiers.
Wang Xin didn't know this, and was still moving forward with the attitude of giving it a try.
Xincheng.
It was already dark, but Wang Deyong, who was in the city, did not fall asleep immediately.
It was not that he couldn't sleep because he was worried about the war, but that he couldn't sleep because he hadn't eaten anything at night.
To be precise, Wang Deyong has not had a good meal in three days.
He is still doing well. Some of the soldiers below have not had a good meal for five or six days. Every two days, each person can only get a bowl of watery rice porridge. The rest of the time, they are hungry.
Xincheng had been besieged for so many days, and the food and grass had long been exhausted. Even the little bit of food in hand was found underground when the whole city was searched.
I think it must have been hidden by the people who left the city before, hoping to dig it out again when they return to the city one day.
This actually helped the Song army in the city. Otherwise, they might have all starved to death now.
After not eating properly for three days, Wang Deyong's complexion changed from rosy to the current pale look.
He didn't know how long he would last like this.
He didn't know if the court had given up on them.
Otherwise, why haven't we seen any military actions by the Song Army in the past month?
There are also those alien races outside the city. They only besiege the city, not attack it. They seem to be waiting for them to run out of food and starve to death, so that they can directly occupy the city without any effort.
The foreigners did not attack the city, and the Song army in the city did not have the extra strength to fight out of the city. This made it impossible for them to fight the enemy desperately before their death.
This made Wang De use ten
despair.
I don’t know how many times I scolded Wang Xin and Su Shi.
Obviously it was his fault that the war turned like this, but as civil servants of the Song Dynasty, they were accustomed to treating mice as ducks, taking the credit for themselves and others for their mistakes.
I always think that whatever I do is right. If I make a mistake, I blame others for not being flexible and having the ability to adapt to changes.
At this moment, Wang Deyong did not know that Bao Zheng had come to the northern border and took over his original position. He also regarded himself as the commander-in-chief of the Hebei Route Army.
Unfortunately, the commander himself was starving to death.
Lying on the wooden bed, looking at the ceiling, Wang De's eyes were dull, like a half-dead man, and he would sigh from time to time to prove that he was not dead yet and that he still had a lot of resentment.
Su Shi didn't know what was going on in Xincheng. He slept well that night.
Although the army has been dispatched and the military plan has begun to be implemented, if there is any news, it will be after dawn at the earliest.
Only after dawn will the Liao and Xixia armies realize that something is wrong. At that time, a war will break out from all directions, and that is when he needs to worry about the military.
As for now, Su Shi had better get some sleep first.
Before going to bed, he first played a set of stick skills. According to Bai Xing, his stick skills have been slightly successful. This means that Su Shi's body has been systematically transformed, with good toughness and flexibility.
There has been so much progress in just over a month.
Of course, Bai Xing didn't know that the slight success he mentioned was not Su Shi's limit.
During this period of martial arts practice, Su Shi only relied on his own strength and did not use the system.
force.
If he was willing to spend 100 faith points every time he made a move, his stick would be faster and more powerful.
At that time, even if facing Bai Xing, with the sudden acceleration and extra force, I am afraid that the other party will not get any benefits.
The system had absorbed his power for thirteen years and now began to feed him back. This made Su Shi feel no resentment. From time to time, he would say in his heart, "The system is so good, the system is so delicious."
I just don’t know if the system can know this kind of flattery.
That night, Su Shi slept soundly.
As soon as the sky was clear, Su Shi got up and practiced his stick. After breakfast, the news finally came out on the walkie-talkie. After a long and overnight march, Raymond's troops had appeared in Shizui Town, and at dawn
, and then raided the Liao army here.
There was no preparation at all for the Song cavalry to appear here. The Liao army was in chaos. The granaries were burned down and fires shot up into the sky. They could be seen clearly from dozens of miles away.
As soon as Lei Meng took action, Shi Qianshan's headquarters, which had spent the night arriving at the designated position, also moved. The fifty thousand civilian troops came out and rushed towards the Liao army that had not yet established a defense line.
Suddenly so many Song cavalry appeared, and the Liao army, which was all infantry, was completely confused. It was chaos, self-trampling, and countless people died.
"The war is coming."
Even when Su Shi stood in front of Shigu Mountain, he could vaguely see the clouds of black smoke rising in the distance, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Then he said to Lou Yang beside him: "Go and inform General Xu Ba to be ready to fight at any time."
While Su Shi was making defensive preparations, Xiao Xiaoyou
In the big tent, we also received a report from the scouts, saying that thick smoke was rising in the sky in the Wutai area. However, considering that the distance was still too far, it would take time to investigate what exactly happened.
