Looking at some of the generals who were still asleep, Luo Youdu said with a sullen face: "I just got the news that the Khitan secretly built a shipyard near the Hun River five or six years ago and trained its navy. They took advantage of our carelessness and moved from Liaodong to From the bay to the sea to Lulong Landing, we passed through the mountain trails directly to our food camp."
As soon as he said this.
All the generals in the imperial camp were startled, and they all took a deep breath and woke up instantly.
The most critical thing in this war is logistics. No matter how strong your soldiers are, if you go hungry for three to five days, you will become a weak-footed shrimp.
Lu Duoxun turned pale with fright. As a counselor, he was unaware of this. Instead, he unintentionally cooperated with the Khitan's move to lure the enemy, and he could not help but sweat profusely.
Luo Youdu restored Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, Shi Shouxin and others to their normal state, and continued: "But I saw the enemy's tracks in advance, and now their surprise attack force will be destroyed as soon as possible."
Looking at the somewhat dull general, a smile appeared on his lips and he said: "It is impossible for the Khitan to learn the news of the destruction of the surprise attack force in a short time, so... are you awake yet?"
Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, and even Shi Shouxin, who was known for his recklessness, understood the meaning.
They were a group of veterans who had been on the battlefield all year round, wandering on the line of life and death. They had never seen any tactics and tactics. They immediately realized that their lord was planning to continue acting, and lured the Khitans out of Dading Mansion. They said in unison: "Wake up. Got it!"
"Commander Palace, Marshal Ma, Brother Shi, early tomorrow morning, you will attack Fort No. 6, Fort No. 7, and Fort No. 8 respectively. I will withdraw my troops first, and you will follow later. The acting must be realistic and don't reveal anything. flaw."
Shi Shouxin patted his chest and said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will be a professional in acting."
Luo Youdu came to the map, pointed at Alongshan County on the map, looked at the generals and said: "Here, I will be waiting for you to bring the Khitan army here."
He immediately made many arrangements, and the generals followed the orders and left.
When Lu Duoxun saw the generals leaving, he was in shock. He quickly apologized and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty and almost became an accomplice of the Khitan."
Luo Youdu shook his head and said: "It's not your fault. No one would have thought that the Khitan would sacrifice Yelusha for this move. I originally thought it was too smooth, but Yelusha's death made me dispel my doubts. Thanks to a secret move back then, It has achieved miraculous results, but things really are unpredictable.”
He was on guard against the important grain and grass land at the rear.
Without Yi Shenzheng's reminder, the Khitan and Jurchen surprise troops might not be able to break through their food and grass camp.
But losses are unavoidable, and we can't control the overall situation as we do now.
Dadingfu.
Yelu Bishe walked back and forth in the palace absentmindedly.
Yelu Wuzhi was lying on a chair and taking a nap. He had gone through the five dynasties including Yelu Abaoji, Emperor Taizong of Liao Dynasty, Yelu Deguang, Emperor Taizong of Liao Dynasty, Yelu Ruan, Emperor Shizong of Liao Dynasty, Yelu Jing, Emperor Muzong of Liao Dynasty, plus the current Yelv Bishe, but his actual age was not the same. He is still only fifty-two tall.
But he worked hard for the Khitan, especially in the years when the Yu Dynasty was rising, he was very civil and military, and worked day and night on state affairs. I think back then he was also a general who could charge on the battlefield, but now he is only over fifty, and he already looks like a little old man Especially when his subordinate Yelusha was killed in battle in the past, he felt extremely guilty, and his health was now even worse.
Yelvbishe was counting the time, and the result should be almost there, but there was no movement at all from the Southern Dynasty army, which made him very confused.
Now that their three routes are restricted, they are counting on Handerang to open up the situation.
But today, the Southern Dynasty still stormed Qiaotoubaowu, Yelangbaowu and Qingshibaowu without any abnormality.
Qiaotou Baowu, Yelang Baowu and Qingshi Baowu are what Luo Youdu calls Baowu No. 6, Baowu No. 7 and Baowu No. 8.
The Khitan built thirty-six forts near Dading Mansion. They gave them many weird names for various reasons, which were easy to confuse. The Central Plains was straightforward and numbered all the forts and counted them by numbers.
.
He wanted to ask about the quality of Yelu's house, but seeing the old and tired look on his face, he couldn't bear to disturb him and kept everything in his heart.
"His Majesty!"
Brother Yelv Xiu and Yelu Xiezhen came side by side.
Yelu Wuzhi, who was sleeping, also opened his eyes at this time and looked at the two of them. Yelu Bishe waved his hand to stop them and said, "Did you find anything?"
Brother Yelvxiu was humble and said in a low-key manner: "The situation has been discovered in detail, let him speak."
Yelu Xiezhen did not refuse, and bowed to him: "Your Majesty, the offensive of the Southern Dynasty today is a bit strange. I suspect that Han Beiyuan has completed its work and the Southern Dynasty has secretly retreated."
Yelu Bishe said in surprise: "Aren't they still attacking our fortress today?"
Yelu Xiezhen said: "The general thought this was a cover-up trick of the Southern Dynasty. In the past, when they attacked the fortress, they used infantry as the front and cavalry to support them. Then they supplemented it with artillery, stone carts, ballistae, kerosene and other materials to storm the fort and attack.
It was particularly fierce. In just ten days, we broke through five forts and most of the defenders died. But today, their offensive momentum is far less than before. The soldiers they attacked were not heavy armored infantry, but wore lacquer armor.
The number of soldiers, cannons, stone chariots, and ballistae chariots are no longer as accurate as before. The general suspects that the soldiers who attacked the fortress today are all cavalry in disguise."
"Cavalry?" Yelu Bishe suddenly realized and exclaimed: "Because the infantry retreats slowly, they are letting the cavalry contain us and buy their infantry time to retreat."
Yelu Xiezhen bowed and said, "The last general also considered this!"
Yelu Bishe was overjoyed and said excitedly: "So, Hanbeiyuan has become a success? Luo Youdu is really cunning. If he hadn't been able to discern every detail carefully, he would have been fooled."
He was so excited that he couldn't help himself. Ever since he faced Luo Youdu, nothing had gone well for him. Now he felt very proud and proud: "Yu Yue!"
He looked at the man who had caused all this.
Yelu Wuzhi was also struggling. He didn't know which step Han Derang had taken.
Whether the surprise attack is a complete success and the grain and grass camp in the Central Plains is occupied, or whether the opponent is severely damaged...
If it is the former, this is a great opportunity to pursue the victory. But if it is the latter, the opponent will suffer heavy losses but still hold on to part of it, which means that the Central Plains still has a chance to breathe, and this retreat may be a lure for the enemy.
The retreat from the Central Plains was too timely and swift, and there was no room for him to think too much.
Brother Yelvxiu said at this time: "If the general finally takes command of the Southern Dynasty army and really retreats, he will choose to go to Yingzhou instead of Songting Pass."
Yelvwuzhi realized this and said with a smile: "There is a successor for a certain person!"
He became energetic and said: "Your Majesty, give the order to pursue. Tell all generals that if the enemy retreats towards Songting Pass, they must not be pursued. If the enemy retreats towards Yingzhou, do not hesitate to leave them behind."
There is only one road in the direction of Songtingguan, which leads to their previous battlefield and the grain and grass camp in the Central Plains.
If the situation of the grain and grass camp is acceptable, we will naturally withdraw from here. But if the grain and grass camp is lost, we will not get any material support if we continue to take this route, and there is the risk of encountering an ambush. We choose to go through Liujiakou and go south to seek Pan
Midea's support is the best choice.
Therefore, they chose to retreat towards Yingzhou, which meant that the Grain and Grass Camp completely defeated them and they were completely defeated.
Yelvbishe was in a state of excitement and issued a series of orders.
Brother Yelvxiu saw that Yelu Bishe had arranged for him to go south to pursue him, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't forget that there is Cao Bin's tribe to the west of Dading Mansion. If he stays in the west, it will be a big trouble."
Yelu Wuzhi nodded in relief and said, "What Xun Ning said is reasonable. Cao Bin is a rare general in the Southern Dynasty. We cannot ignore his existence. Your Majesty, just let Xun Ning go."
Yelu will be photographed without any opinion.
As orders were implemented one after another, the Khitan cavalry gradually gathered, and multiple troops began to encircle Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, and Shi Shouxin's troops.
The three of them had already made preparations to retreat. They formed an encirclement posture and retreated first to escape.
The person chasing at the forefront was named Oris. This man was a good friend Yelvbishe made when he was hiding in his residence. He had few ambitions and was very brave. He now lived in a stable official residence and was one of Yelvbishe's most trusted cronies.
Because he has no family background, his promotion is slow. Yelvbi will arrange it at this time
He is in the front office to earn promotion capital for him.
Oris leapt on his horse and whipped his horse, shouting loudly for pursuit.
The Khitans are nomadic people, and what they are best at is field warfare, and they dominate the world with riding and shooting.
But after confronting Zhongyuan, he had to huddle in a fort near Dading Mansion and passively receive beatings.
When had the Khitans ever suffered such grievances?
All of them had been holding back their anger for a long time. At this moment, the cavalry's attack and defense were easy to change. The Khitan soldiers were all brave, as if they wanted to vent all their grievances.
"Lu Ming Mountain, Lu Ming Mountain, Lu Ming Mountain!"
Oris was praying on his lips as he pursued.
There were two mountains in front of him, one was Deshan Mountain in the west and the other was Luming Mountain in the east.
The news he got was that if the Central Plains retreated to the west, it would be enough. If it retreated to the east, it would be a big battle.
Oris couldn't wait to establish his meritorious service, so he naturally hoped for the latter. Seeing that the opponent was actually fleeing towards Luming Mountain, Oris was overjoyed and shouted: "Warriors of the Falcon Army, keep moving forward and don't capture the idiot on the other side.
, don’t stop!”
He thought of the general's greetings to his family this morning, and there were a few wisps of fireworks in his eyes, letting go of old and new grudges.
Shi Shouxin licked his withered lips and looked back at the Khitan cavalry who were pursuing them, cursing in his heart.
Three groups of cavalry retreated in three directions, and this bastard caught him and chased them behind them. It was simply unreasonable.
Isn't it just that during the attack, he had a moment of broken words and greeted the other party's wife, children and mother? Why should a grown man be so stingy?
Hearing the shouts of death getting closer and closer behind him, Shi Shouxin cursed secretly: "Damn it, are you really embarrassed?"
He halted his horse, whistled suddenly, and launched a countercharge at the Khitan cavalry chasing him behind him.
If he continues to move forward, this dog will definitely follow him into the encirclement.
It would be a big loss to bring this unit into the encirclement before the enemy's large forces arrived.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to counterattack suddenly, catch him off guard, and delay him for a while, so that the idiot behind him who only knows how to compete for credit can be more powerful.
Shi Shouxin has been fighting all his life, and he has a clear insight into Oris's mentality of striving for merit.
Because once upon a time, he himself had the same idea. In order to gain credit and get ahead, he didn't care whether he took risks or not. If he lost, he would only die, but if he won, he would have everything.
When Oris saw the opponent actually charging back, he accidentally collided with the opponent head-on.
As the sound of swords clashing sounded, many soldiers on both sides fell off their horses wailing.
Regardless of his status, Shi Shouxin was still the same reckless man on the battlefield. Not only him, but as a general in Dayu, he did not dare to charge forward, which was an act of cowardice.
He was like a bolt of lightning, wedged bravely into the enemy group.
The dust was lifted up from the earth by the horses' hooves that were turning rapidly, forming a yellow mist that covered the sky and sun, and penetrated directly into the mouth and nose.
Shi Shouxin couldn't see clearly between ourselves and the enemy, but he didn't need to see clearly. Anyone in front of him must be an enemy. He held up the bright steel knife and slashed at each other, swiping left and right, like a melon chopping vegetables.
The Khitan cavalry in front of them dismounted and dismounted.
When it comes to martial arts, Shi Shouxin is not among the top ten in the Yu army, but when it comes to bravery, Hu Yanzan can compare with him.
He shouted for a fierce battle, only attacking but not defending. It was a completely lifeless style of play...
The Khitan people, who were famous for their bravery and prowess in battle, saw that Shi Shouxin was as fierce as a tiger, and no one wanted to fight head-on, so they all surrounded him.
Shi Shouxin didn't care about his own death. Is there anyone more reliable than his son?
Shi Baozheng was well aware of his father's temperament, so he followed closely behind him, holding up a horse and riding behind Shi Shouxin's back, helping him to defeat the enemies coming from left and right.
As generals such as Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin grew older, the second generation of generals gradually began to emerge.
Shi Shouxin's eldest son Shi Baozheng is one of them. He has been in the army since he was a child and has gained a lot of skills.
He is skilled in martial arts. But compared to his father's fierceness, Shi Baozheng is more calm.
Luo Youdu loved Wujiwu, and originally wanted to promote him to the position of deputy envoy of Shangshi. He would serve as his assistant, gain some qualifications, and then promote him.
But Shi Shouxin flatly refused. He looked like his own son. What's the point of not going to the battlefield?
Under the influence of Dayu's culture of advocating martial arts, almost all second-generation soldiers chose to join the army instead of abandoning martial arts and studying literature.
Relying on his father's relationship, Shi Baozheng learned many moves from Zhao Kuangyin in the early stage and Gao Huaide and Hu Yanzan in the later stage. His bravery was not inferior to that of his father, and he knocked down the enemy cavalry who were trying to outflank one by one.
The Khitan soldiers were not good at discipline, and Oris was eager to make meritorious deeds, so he kept increasing his speed, causing his troops to stretch into a long strip.
On the contrary, even though the front office commanders could not maintain their formation when they were escaping, they instinctively got together when they turned around and counterattacked.
With the bravery of father and son Shi Shouxin and Shi Baozheng, they forcibly killed Oris, who had an incomplete lineup, and passed through them.
But just when Shi Shouxin and Shi Baozheng were fighting back.
Yelu Talie and Yelu Xiezhen had already arrived. When they saw Oris entangled Shi Shouxinbu, they did not need to communicate with each other. They understood and understood the method of surrounding and killing wild beasts, outflanking him from left to right.
