She Song

Chapter 254 Yao Pingzhong's Luck
Zhao Kai also frowned, weighing the opinions of both sides, and it was clear which one was better.

The New Army's victory in the first battle greatly enhanced his power as the commander-in-chief of the northwest. However, the generals of the Western Army were not convinced and were even afraid of the Huben Army.

It is not scary for Lou Shi's troops to enter Cizhou. What needs to be worried about is the internal strife between the Western Army and the Huben Army. This kind of thing is not a secret to him.

Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu were not only veteran generals in the army, but also two pillars of the Western Army. They had euphemistically and resolutely stated their attitude. The greatest contribution was to preserving Yan'an on the basis of maintaining their own security.

Zhong Fu's idea was very straightforward. After three months of hard training, the Huben Army came to the northwest to fight against the Dangxiang Jurchens. The Western Army's conservative tactics ran counter to the Huben Army's consistent requirements.

Such a clear difference made Zhao Kai weigh it a lot, and suddenly he thought of a way to bridge the gap between the two sides.

"I already know your thoughts about the Jurchens, so how should Li Ni deal with it?"

Li Qianshun?Thieves? !
Zhong Shidao took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, please take this opportunity to send troops to encircle and suppress us. If we can get rid of Li Ni, the Xixia army will be leaderless, and the northwest can be conquered in one battle!"

Yao Gu, Zhong Shi and others also called for battle: "Your Highness should send out heavy troops to encircle and suppress us!"

Sure enough!

Zhao Kai was even more clear in his mind.

Zhong Fu also realized that the Western Army and Dangxiang had a centuries-old feud, so he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and kill Li Qianshun, triggering civil strife in Dangxiang and giving the Western Army a break.

Seeing that Zhao Kai seemed to be moving, Yao Pingzhong spoke again: "Your Highness, once our army goes south and the war with the Jurchens reaches a stalemate, if the Western thieves stab us in the back again, the whole army may be shaken! If the Western thieves are annihilated with lightning speed, the Jurchens will be in a Being alone, even if Lou Shi is brave and good at fighting, it will be difficult for him to achieve anything."

Zhao Kai nodded. This sentence was impeccable. He was sure of winning against the party, but the outcome was unpredictable when fighting against the Jurchens. Moreover, he was here to win over the generals of the Western Army, so he could not refuse in public.

"Okay! Then beat Li Ni first!"

As King Yun made the final decision, everyone enthusiastically planned a war against the party.

According to Zhongshi Dao's suggestion, the Huben army was divided into two, and [-] soldiers went south to block the Jurchens, slowing down Lou Shi's advancement.Another [-] Huben troops went north to attack Li Qianshun, while Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu outflanked Dangxiang's army from both wings.

Seventy thousand versus forty thousand, a sure win!

Zhong Fu proposed that the use of the Tiger and Ben troops should not be divided, but Yao Gu agreed with Zhong Shidao's suggestion.

It is believed that the Huben Army can attack and defend well and is the most suitable force to stop the Jin Army. Even if all the troops going south are sacrificed, as long as the Western bandits can be annihilated, it will be a great benefit to the overall situation.

"Chief of Staff Zhong, the Huben Army is also the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty. It is our duty to sacrifice for the country. Let's get 5000 people together with you to stop Lou Shi!"

Zhong Shidao was convinced, but for the benefit of the Western Army, he adopted a tacit attitude.

So, with Zhao Kai's nod, the military council made a battle plan: Zhong Fu would lead 5000 people south to block the Jin army for three days, and Zhong Shidao would lead 5000 people north to annihilate Li Ganshun's troops within three days.

The expedition was about to begin, and Qi Ziyan deliberately found Zhong Fu because he wanted to go north with the army.

"Lou Shi is a famous general in hundreds of battles, and the Jurchens are extremely brave, so be careful!"

Zhong Fu smiled and said: "Although the situation is not as expected, we just do our best. The Western Army is too selfish and intends to dismantle and weaken the Huben Army. You must be more careful."

Qi Ziyan smiled and said: "His Highness knows the battle in Yan'an. This place and time are just expedients. In the future, the world of the New Army will definitely still be under the rule!"

Zhong Fu nodded, mounted his horse, and led his army towards Danzhou.

Zhong Shidao handed over his troops to Zhong Shizhong and asked him and Yao Gu to take detours on the left and right respectively, while he led most of the Huben army to rush directly towards Li Qianshun.

Li Qianshun and Cha Ge suffered a loss in Yan'an. At this time, the Chinese army gathered [-] elite troops, with a team of [-] people on each side. In order to cooperate with Lou Shi's north-south attack, they also slowly advanced towards Yan'an.

Knowing that the Song army was dispatched in large numbers, Li Qianshun asked Brother Cha how to deal with it.

Brother Wei Mingcha knew the situation well with the Western Army. After looking at the map carefully, he said: "The Western Army must come out in three groups to annihilate our army. Now that the opponent's troops are superior, it is not suitable for a head-on confrontation. It is better to design a plan to lure them to divide their forces and defeat them one by one."

Li Qianshun had suffered a defeat and his mentality was much calmer. He immediately discussed in detail with Brother Cha the specific arrangements for luring the enemy into an ambush.Yao Gu led the left army of [-] people to advance quickly, and soon came into contact with Dangxiang's army. Seeing that the opponent's number was only [-], Yao Gu, who had [-] troops, was overjoyed and immediately launched an attack.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Dangxiang's army could no longer hold on and collapsed to the rear.

Yao Pingzhong, with high morale, took the lead and then killed him. After killing the opponent, Li Qianshun was like a piece of meat on the chopping board!
However, when Yao Pingzhong chased him to a depression, he suddenly heard a loud horn sound from the back of the hillside, and his whole body suddenly trembled.

Party members have an ambush!

Subsequently, Dangxiang troops appeared on three highlands at the same time.

Cha Ge, who personally formulated the ambush plan, drew his machete and pointed it at the five thousand Song Cavalry in the depression.

"kill!"

The two thousand party heavy cavalry immediately smashed down like a tsunami wall. The Western Army's light cavalry, which was in a disadvantageous terrain, was unable to stop the opponent.

Yao Pingzhong almost groaned and said: "Iron kite..."

Iron kite is a unique name for the party's heavy cavalry. The men and horses are fully armored, and are used to charge into the formation and attack, and they are invincible.

How could the Yao family's soldiers not understand that they were ambushed at this time? The opponent was riding heavily and was condescending. There was no suspense in the outcome. What they had to do was to protect Yao Pingzhong and escape!

So more than ten mounted guards dragged Yao Pingzhong around without any explanation and ran away. Although Yao Pingzhong struggled hard, he finally quickly left the depression and fled towards Yao Gu's brigade.

After the iron kite swept across the lowlands, Brother Cha was very satisfied when he saw the corpses of the Song army all over the place. The five thousand light cavalry were Yao Gu's biggest capital.

Five thousand steps of postscript for five thousand Qingqi is not only a victory in a battle, but also a precursor to the defeat of the Song army!
After solving the Song Army's light cavalry, Cha Ge led [-] light and heavy cavalry and immediately completed the semi-encirclement of Yao Gu's tribe.

Yao Gu's heart skipped a beat when he saw his nephew's miserable appearance. He knew the situation before his subordinates could explain.

The one who can defeat five thousand Qingqi in an instant must be the most ferocious iron kite in the party, and the iron kite is Li Qianshun's main force, which shows that the opponent has concentrated its forces to attack him.

Without light cavalry, it would be difficult for the infantry to move around, otherwise the opponent would brutally tear apart the slightest gap, and then the soldiers would collapse.

In a hurry, Yao Gu defended on the spot according to the five army formations, and sent fast horses to ask for help from the Chinese army.

However, the Dangxiang army did not give him a chance. Chage, who had been fighting for many years, soon discovered that Yao Gu's formation was too loose, so he ordered the light and heavy cavalry to cooperate with each other, destroying Yao Gu's left and right wings and rear troops like lightning, causing the soldiers to panic. flocked to the Chinese army.

Yao Gu sighed, this battle is getting worse and worse, one careless move will lead to losing the whole game!

However, he couldn't let go of his most outstanding nephew, so he called Yao Pingzhong to him.

"I will lead the army to fight later. You take my letter to see King Yun..."

Yao Pingzhong's expression changed drastically. He heard his uncle's intention and wanted to fight to the death.

"Uncle, I will stay and you will go see King Yun..."

Yao Gu raised his hand and gave his nephew a slap in the face: "Asshole, I am the general of the Left Army. Even if I run back, I will be beheaded! You are the hope of the Yao family's prosperity, you cannot die! Do you understand?"

Yao Pingzhong couldn't help but shed tears, but Yao Gula came up to him and told him in a low voice: "Remember, you must surrender to King Yun, and you must make good friends with Zhong Fu and let him teach you how to train the new army. The Yao family will be able to never fail!"

Yao Pingzhong nodded with tears in his eyes.

Yao Gu finally put the bronze talisman symbolizing the head of the family into his nephew's hand, then got on his horse, gathered the entire army and launched a counterattack against Tie Yaozi.

Under the protection of his own soldiers, Yao Pingzhong once again escaped from the battlefield by chance, but countless lives behind him were wantonly harvested under the iron hoof and scimitar.

The plan to encircle and annihilate the party suffered a heavy setback.
