Fu Song

Chapter 322 Seduction
Tuoba Fenwu and Miao Shou arrived at Shentangbao with two thousand Hengshan party regiment training troops, which made Li Yi overjoyed.

"Good job! If you don't come, I can only guard the city and dare not attack at will. If you come, it will be completely different." Li Yi said excitedly: "With these two thousand masters, we can Take the initiative to attack."

"What's the situation now?" Tuoba Fenwu was still a little confused.

Since winter, he has been staying in Tuoba City, organizing party members training together with Miao Shou. The Xingqing Mansion issued an urgent order to send [-] troops to Shentangbao to obey Li Yi's orders.

"We are going to war with the imperial court!" Li Yi glanced at the two of them, and lingered on Miao Shou for a while.

Tuoba Fenwu was overjoyed, but Miao Shou was shocked.

"What happened?"

"The chief steward's parents died at the hands of the imperial court." Li Yi's face was grim, "You son of a bitch, you really didn't take our Western Army seriously!"

"Some time ago, didn't you still say that Cui Zhongcheng went to Xingqing to comfort the army?" Miao Shou swallowed.

"Comfort the army!" Li Yi took a sip: "I want to trick our manager into going back to Bianliang! Fortunately, we also have sources in Bianliang, so we know that such a big thing happened. Do you know? Zhang Chao is now Just on Shaanxi Road, they are preparing to organize troops to attack us! Three days later, Li Dan will lead a vanguard force of [-] people to attack our Shentang Fort."

"So, we've caught up with a big show!" Tuoba Fenwu raised his fists, his knuckles cracking.

Li Yi patted Miao Shou on the shoulder: "The information sent by Miao De. In the past few days, our spies have roughly figured out the opponent's military strength. Let's go, let's talk in the room!"

Miao Shou's heart was flustered at the moment, his face was extremely complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He followed Li Yi, Tuoba Fenwu entered the meeting hall, but he looked out of his mind.

In the meeting hall, in the huge sand table, the mountains, rivers, forts and roads above the border are clear at a glance.This thing has been made since Xiao Cheng came here back then. Countless spies measured hundreds of miles around with their feet. It took several years to perfect it bit by bit to where it is today.

I heard that there is a bigger one in Xingqing Mansion.

Miao Shou was also an officer at the commanding level before, and he was also familiar with the military maps of the Song court, but those maps can only be said to be generally good.Compared with the current military map used by the Western Army, that is completely the gap between the little three and the master.

Xiao Cheng determined the specific size and scale of the map. The maps used by the Western Army were all formulated according to a standard, and each map was accurate to a road, creek, and village.Now in the Western Army, there is a special team engaged in the drawing of maps. Wherever the soldiers and horses of the Western Army go, they will follow them. Wherever the caravans of the Western Army go, they will follow them. to where.

"In fact, in the past two years, after the relationship between our Western Army and Lan Sixin has become increasingly tense, Shaanxi Road has begun to deploy troops around us." Standing in front of the sand table, Li Yi said: "Hengshanzhai, Huaiwei Fort, Weibian Fort, Dongguzhai, Shengqiang Fort, Tongzhai Fort and other military fortresses are based on Baibao City and Jintang City, each with [-] to [-] soldiers and horses deployed. There are heavy troops deployed and a large amount of ordnance and supplies. Speaking of which, Lan Sixin is not such a waste, he has been guarding against us all the time!"

"There are good and bad soldiers in these places!" Tuoba Fenwu shook his head and said, "There are veterans who are brave and good at fighting, as well as new recruits who have just been recruited into the team, and even those who have just been promoted from the Xiang Army, and their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning. "

"But there are a few good generals here." Miao Shou said, "Among them, Qiu Zheng and Jie Dong are all good fighters who have participated in the entire battle against the Dingnan Army. The deputy general Hao Yue who attacked this time is The leader of the Security Army is also a very good fighter, and I don't need to mention Li Dan himself."

"Whether it's good or bad depends on who their opponent is!" Li Yidao: "Now we already know what they are going to do, but they don't know this yet. There are only five thousand people, and they want to take down Shentangbao. It's too easy. Zhang Taiwei is famous, and he made the Liao people look forward to the city on Hebei Road, but it was a defense, and now they want to attack, I would like to see how capable he is."

"The name of a person, the shadow of a tree!" Tuoba Fenwu said with a smile, "General Li, don't be careless."

"Of course we can't be careless!" Li Yidao: "Erlang told us back then that in war, even if the opponent is a rabbit, we must deal with it with the mentality of fighting a lion. Any slight negligence may lead to Failed. I already have some ideas for this battle, and I happened to discuss them with the two of you!"

"Talk about it, General Li!" Tuo Ba Fen said.

"Ambassador Miao!" Li Yi looked at the veteran who looked uncertain, and said, "You have always been in touch with the comfort envoy of Shaanxi Road..."

"General Li, I am loyal to the chief!" Miao Shou was shocked and said repeatedly.

Li Yi waved his hand and said: "Miao Da don't need to panic, it was originally Zhang Changshi's intention to keep you in touch with the Shaanxi Road appeasement office, your son Miao De, didn't you send out the information in time this time?" ?”

"Yes, yes, Miao has no second thoughts!"

"Hey!" Li Yi typed a haha: "If my prediction is correct, someone will contact you next time. We are trying to find out the other party's details, and the other party must also want to know our details. When the other party finds you , do you know what to do?"

"Understood, understood!" Miao Shou nodded repeatedly.

"Ambassador Miao, you have been working in the Western Army for several years. In recent years, the general manager has not treated you badly. Although the general manager took your military power and part of your property back then, he was also released from Ma Xing's prison. You have saved your life. You have seen what happened to the Western Army in the past few years, and you have to be sure about the next road and how to go." Li Yi said slowly: "If you win this battle, you I don’t owe us any more, and I still want to follow us. I, Li Yi, will pat your chest with you. In the next few years, the past will be wiped out. You are the Miao Shou of the Western Army. If you want to leave, you can do whatever you want. You can go wherever you want!"

"I understand, I understand!" Miao Shou said.

"I'm going to fight their ambush here!" Li Yi pointed to a place in the sand table.

Looking at this place, Tuoba Fenwu was startled, "In this way, don't you want to give up Dingbian City?"

"That's right, give up Dingbian City!" Li Yidao: "There is food in Dingbian City, and there are piles of supplies. Otherwise, how can these guys who were ambushed retreat into Dingbian City?"

"I understand!" Tuoba Fenwu suddenly realized: "General Li, your appetite is quite big!"

Li Yi squeezed his fists: "If they dare to come, we will make it impossible for any of them to go back. Brother Tuoba, if you can kill or kill Li Dan in the first battle, what about those guys in the court? How big will the vibration be?"

"There are not many guys who are used to fighting on the Shaanxi Road!" Tuoba Fenwu said: "The death of Li Dan, hehe, is enough to shock the Song Kingdom."

Miao Shou didn't speak, but as a veteran who has led the army for many years, he naturally understood what the other party meant.

Li Yi is just Xiao Ding's personal soldier background, but he is really proud to use soldiers.

The goods and supplies in Dingbian City were at least worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of guan, but Li Yi said no, so he just didn't want it, just to keep the whole army of the intruders this time.

The Song army attacked and took Dingbian City easily. They will definitely use Dingbian City as their forward base, and then continue to attack Shentangbao. Then they will be ambushed by the Western Army on the way to Shentangbao. The location is near Jiufeng Mountain , the road here is not spacious, and the Song Army's team will form a long snake formation.And Li Dan has always been cautious in using troops, Qiu Zheng and Xie Dong are also very good generals, it is unrealistic to want to eat them here, so it is most appropriate to bite off some of them.

Where will Song Jun, who has suffered a loss, retreat?
Of course, it was Dingbian City, where there were enough supplies for them to hold on and wait for the follow-up reinforcements.

This was Li Yi's calculation.Once they entered Dingbian City, they could never escape again.

"The manpower in Dingbian City must be arranged immediately, and the supplies there must also be handled well!" Li Yi said with a smile: "Wait for them to enter the city, wait for us to follow..."

In White Leopard City, Li Dan has a lot of worries.

The army was still being mobilized, and he had already arrived at the first starting point, White Leopard City, ahead of schedule.

Major generals such as Hao Yue, Qiu Zheng, and Xie Dong also gathered here.

To fight the Western Army, everyone's emotions are not too high.

Speaking of which, the Western Army is not very harmonious with everyone. One reason is that there are not many Song people in the Western Army, and more are barbarians of various ethnic groups. The pride of man.Secondly, as the western army won successive battles on various battlefields, their vision became less and less high. Naturally, they looked down on the Song army on Shaanxi Road. It is also indispensable.

But no one really thought that the two sides would really go to war.

In any case, the combat effectiveness of the Western Army is still there.

"It's a sneak attack, but in fact it's nothing more than being able to catch the opponent by surprise in the first battle!" Li Dan sighed and said, "Dingbian City can be taken at most. Next, Shentang Fort will have to be head-on!"

"Didn't it mean that Xiao Ding is still in Montenegro?" Hao Yue said, "Xiao Ding hasn't come back, and the Western Army may not be able to make up their minds about what to do for a while, so this is our chance. Shentangbao Li Yi They are just Xiao Cheng's personal soldiers, and their abilities are limited."

"That's what you say!" Li Dan said, "Let's gather all the cavalry and take Dingbian City first. There are not many garrisons in Dingbian City, but more merchants. There are all kinds of supplies there. It is the Western Army and Shaanxi Road. The commercial center of the transaction, take it down, our follow-up army will not have to wait for the deployment of materials, and can attack Shentangbao at a faster speed. We have to take down Shentangbao before the main force of the Western Army reacts, and we are done. The captain's request."

"The cavalry and scouts from each village are assembled, there are almost a thousand cavalry!" Hao Yue said: "Enough is enough, I will set off tomorrow."

Li Dan nodded: "I'll come later, I will gather more siege equipment, Shentangbao is not so easy to fight, only to win Shentangbao, plus Li Du's Siwu stronghold , we can grasp a certain advantage. By defending Shentang Fort, we can block the main route of the Western Army from Hengshan, but we can attack from Siwu Village at any time. This is the strategic advantage Zhang Taiwei wants to manage. .”

"With the Taiwei at the helm, we have nothing to worry about in this battle!" Hao Yue looked very relaxed. "When the reinforcements from all walks of life arrive, maybe this battle will end soon. There are two to three hundred thousand people!"

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy!" Li Dan said solemnly, "Hengshan is not easy to cross, and Xiao Ding's strategic depth is really too big now. Maybe it is easy to defeat him, but it is difficult to eliminate him!"

"Most of Xiao Ding's subordinates are barbarians. When he gains power, everyone will support him. As long as he suffers a few defeats, the wall will fall and everyone will push him down!" Hao Yue said with a smile: "General, we are on the Shaanxi Road. The Yi people have been fighting for so many years, don't you know their virtues? Li Xu was so arrogant back then, after being defeated by Xiao Ding, isn't that the case?"

"I hope so!"

One day later, under Dingbian City.

There was the sound of rumbling hooves, and the soldiers on the city put their hands on the awning and looked into the distance. They didn't know anything about the big event that was about to happen, so they were naturally unprepared.Seeing that all the cavalrymen carrying the banner of the Song Dynasty came, they naturally didn't take it to heart.

The center of gravity of the Western Army is placed in Shentangbao and Dingbian Town, which are just a commercial center where the Western Army trades with Shaanxi Road.

And this is exactly what Hao Yue and other generals of the Song Army hoped to see the most.

Xiao Ding didn't come back, even if Xijun knew some information, he was still not sure what to do.

Zhang Chao was also hoping to overcome such a time gap to win the Shentangbao and gain a strategic advantage. As for whether he was forced to turn against Xiao Ding because of this, Zhang Chao didn't care at all.

Whatever others say, as a soldier, he simply doesn't bother to care about it.

He wants to guarantee that this battle, he can win.

If you lose, the consequences are unimaginable.

There are only a hundred or so garrisons in Dingbian City, and they are all Xiang troops. They are usually responsible for maintaining order and maintaining discipline. supplies.

When Hao Yue happily reported the good news to Li Dan in the rear, he forgot to check these material warehouses. The things were all real, but in the middle of these warehouses, some extremely dangerous things were mixed in. Just ready to explode at the right time.
