The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 470 Pre-War Deployment
The next day, at four o'clock!
The dark night sky is full of stars, twinkling constantly, and another shooting star pierces the sky, dragging its long tail like a broom, as if expelling Khitan, regaining the heart of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and even going to heaven We all know!

Zhao Gou gave an order, and everyone set off in a mighty manner, and everyone followed the route set by Zhao Gou.Before dawn, they galloped and marched faster than ever.Since Chenjiagu was a little far away from Yanmen Pass, Lu Junyi and the others set off first, and they had already set off at the third watch.

The Song army went north, but the Liao army did not hear the news.Even if they received it, they would not believe that the Song people would tear up the covenant and send troops to conquer it.Moreover, the entire Liao Kingdom was shrouded in a dark cloud, which would not disperse for a long time.Just because the moment the Song army sent troops, the Jurchens had already launched an attack.

The Jurchens sent a large army to suppress the situation, making the Liao army overwhelmed. Facing the border area between Liao and Jin, the battle was raging.When Zhao Gou and others dispatched their troops, the Jurchens had already launched an attack. They adopted a multi-pronged attack and split the army into two.

Jin soldiers set out from Liaoyang Mansion, captured Liaozhou one after another, and sent a large army to continue to attack Jinzhou, that is, an attack from south to north; another army sent troops from Shangjing Huining Mansion to attack from north to south. It was Linhuang Mansion, and then went straight to Huanglong.

Because the fighting power of the Jin army is far superior to that of the Liao army, the battle of the Liao army in the western region is very tight. Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty was too busy to take care of himself. He never thought that the Song Dynasty would also send troops to attack, and his idea was that he could not fight, so he packed up and fled directly. Song Dynasty, seeking asylum.

Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi didn't care about the tightness of the battle ahead, and still enjoyed himself. He didn't care about the bloody fighters ahead and the people affected by the flames of war. He only cared about his own enjoyment and the affairs of the throne.It's just that there are still some ministers in the court who keep writing and reporting, which makes him have to send troops to reinforce him.

The large-scale Jurchen offensive made the Liao army pay no attention to the situation in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.Moreover, many people from all over the Liao Kingdom were conscripted into the army, went to the front line, and bravely killed the enemy.Although there were generals who were good at fighting, there were no marshals who sat in the rear and commanded the overall situation, so the army retreated steadily.

Zhao Gou led the army to take advantage of the panic in the Liao Kingdom, in order to regain the lost ground in one fell swoop.

"Marshal, the general is a little suspicious!" Gao Chong looked at Zhao Gou with a frown, and wanted to call the young master, but Zhao Gou said that in the army, he was only a general and had no other relationship, so he changed his name. 'Big handsome'.

Zhao Gou said pleasantly, "Just tell me what you want!"

Gao Chong said in a deep voice: "General Lu and the others led more than [-] people. Although there are other brothers helping him, there is really no problem? Although we have many soldiers, only the two of us can really fight. If Huanzhou sends an army, what should we do?"

"Why, are you afraid?" Zhao Gou smiled briskly and said, "Don't worry! As long as they arrive at the agreed time, don't fight one-on-one with them, and come directly to sneak attack, even Guo Zhiquan knows about it. , It’s too late to bring troops here!”

"As for General Lu, I can still trust him! After all, he has also fought on the battlefield, so he doesn't have to worry about meeting the enemy! What we have to do now is to wait for the good news and prevent the soldiers in Shuozhou City from tipping off the news. !"

"If the news leaks, Huanzhou generals must be on guard. In this way, it will be a little troublesome to take the city. If they fight to the death, even if we hurt a thousand enemies, we will also lose eight hundred. After all, this place is Mountains and mountains, or rivers, are easy to defend and difficult to attack!"

The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are located on the Taihang Mountains, where the climate is changeable.If it is in spring, there will be less rain and snow, but the wind and sand will be strong, and it is prone to drought.An attack at this time will inevitably cause heavy casualties, and there is no water source to support it at all.

In summer, the rain is concentrated, the rainfall is heavy, and there are even severe weather such as hail; in winter, there are more gusty winds, the climate is cold, and it is not easy to attack. Only autumn is the most suitable for attacking the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, especially Shuozhou, Huanzhou and Yingzhou are three states connected together, and the climate is not much different.

At this time, it was just at the beginning of autumn, and it happened to be ready to attack. This was also the time set by Zhao Gou, and it was found out after investigation.

You can attack in front, and you can defend in retreat!

Therefore, Zhao Gou had to seize these three states as soon as possible and use them as his backing.If these three cities were not captured, then all the soldiers would have to spend time outside. Autumn is better, but if winter comes, countless soldiers will freeze to death, so there is no fighting power to speak of.

Even if you have ten times more people than the enemy, it is impossible to defeat an army that has lost its combat effectiveness, and it is even possible to wipe out the entire army!

Lu Junyi is a general, Lin Chong, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Niu Gao, Wang Gui, Yang Yizhong and others are lieutenants and vanguards, and they are all from the same family, except for Niu Gao and Yang Yizhong.Therefore, they all understood that the task this time was arduous, so they discussed while marching, which also saved time.

"General, Shuozhou City is strong and has a garrison, and he is facing Chenjiagu. According to the information obtained by the marshal, there are only a few garrisons here. There are more than [-] people. Moreover, we are the main attacker, they are the defense, and they occupy Advantage!"

Lu Junyi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "What General Lin said is true, the time and place are right for people, they are all occupied, but we have nothing. Regarding the climate here, we people living in the north are still somewhat affected. No, let alone soldiers and others living in the south!"

"Shuozhou is surrounded by mountains on the west, south and north sides. The altitude is high, forming a natural barrier. There is no way to attack. Only the central and eastern parts are Pingchuan. This is the fastest place to attack, and the city gate is also It was built in the middle and east; the eastern city gate is connected to the west gate of Huanzhou City, if you want to win it in one fell swoop, you must attack the central city gate with all your strength!"

"Although the central and eastern parts are Pingchuan, their overall terrain is inclined from west to east, and our attack is from bottom to top. It can also be said that as long as we don't move much, it is very convenient to find us. If Attacking during the day has no chance of winning!"

"As the marshal said, the rivers are in the city, and we have less water outside. If we fight for a long time without water, we will have no food, and there is no chance of winning. Therefore, we must fight quickly, and we must not give Any gaps in them!"

Yue Fei then asked: "Since this is the case, how should we attack?"

"Judging from the current situation, we can only imitate the Marshal's previous combat methods!" Lu Junyi suddenly remembered the time when Zhao Gou led the army to attack the Liangshan Army's city and the battle of Fang La, and replied loudly: "Sneak attack! "
