The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 510 Fighting wits and courage
"After drinking this bowl of wine, we will meet on the battlefield!" Xiao Pu hiccupped a sip of wine and sighed: "If we don't belong to each other, maybe we will become friends who forget the year!"

"I think so, with your General Xiao's ability, you will definitely be reused!" Zhao Gou nodded appreciatively, and replied affirmatively: "General Xiao, I have a merciless request!"

"Since it's an unfeeling request, there's no need to say it!" Xiao Pu interrupted Zhao Gou's words, and said solemnly: "I, Xiao, accept the commander's wishes, and I can't violate the ancestral system."

Zhao Gou nodded regretfully, and said: "Since this is the case, then Zhao is not willing to force others to be difficult! Come on, let's have another drink. After drinking, we will see you on the battlefield tomorrow. At that time, we will be enemies!"

"Okay!" Xiao Pu said with a big laugh, and then started drinking with Zhao Gou again.

In fact, Zhao Gou wanted to persuade Xiao Pu to give up and continue to serve Liao, that is, to surrender.However, Xiao Puda had his own persistence, even if he died in battle, he would not surrender.

Zhao Gou respected Xiao Puda's choice, and he could understand his persistence.Although Xiao Puda was a Han Chinese, he was deeply favored by the emperor. Three generations of his ancestors were loyal to Daliao.Even if he is belittled now, it is nothing but helplessness, he can understand Xiao Puta's persistence.

At this moment, the two of them are not enemies, but like friends who haven't seen each other for many years, chatting over wine and admiring each other.Sometimes people are not good friends who get along day and night, but only discover each other's abilities from their own deeds, and cherish each other, and they are like bosom friends who have never met. happy.

After drinking, both Zhao Gou and Xiao Puda stood up at the same time, smashed the wine bowl, turned and left.

Everyone was stunned, they couldn't figure out what was going on.It was not until everyone returned to the camp that they believed it was true.

"Marshal, what do you mean?" Everyone looked at Zhao Gou curiously, and couldn't figure out how they could still fight like this. If they didn't know that they met for the first time, they would have thought they were friends they hadn't seen for many years.

Zhao Gou smiled and said, "That's what you see, that's what it means!"

"What does that mean?"

"Because Xiao Pu has the qualification to beat this man, just because he attacked our army camp at night, and he was able to retreat completely. No one under his command was killed, not even injured. It can be seen that this man's military ability is very outstanding, and he deserves to be respected. .”

Zhao Gou sighed: "If he can serve the Song Dynasty, our army will be even more powerful! It's a pity that he has his persistence, there is nothing we can do!"

"General Guo, you two are also the guards of Yanyun Sixteen States, have you ever heard about him, and what are his shortcomings?"

Guo Zhimin nodded and said: "Xiao Pu beat this person among the generals guarding Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, he can be said to be the most famous and also the most mysterious, we have all heard of his deeds, but we have never seen this person. "

"According to the news circulating between us, it is said that he never lived in the commander's mansion, and ate and lived with the soldiers, and the mansion of the commander-in-chief was just a place for office. Therefore, he was also respected by the soldiers, as long as he gave an order Next, no one dares to object."

Wu Yong frowned and said, "So this person is invulnerable?"

"But I heard that the emperor of the Liao Kingdom didn't trust him very much and repeatedly suppressed him. Even if he made meritorious service, he didn't have his share." Guo Zhiquan continued, "If it's a shortcoming, this is the only one, and the rest are real. Gone."

Zhao Gou sighed: "Then use the 'counter-indirect strategy'."

To be honest, Zhao Gou really didn't want such a talent to die in vain, but he didn't want to surrender, so he had to do so.After all, the recovery of the sixteen states is the most important thing.

The next day, both the Song and Liao armies set up their battle formations, and Zhao Gou and Xiao Pu took two as their commanders, and they both put on their armor and went into battle.

Xiao Pu had [-] troops, half of which were cavalry, and there were also archers and infantry, forming a "carriage formation". This formation is a cavalry formation. It is said that the wheel warfare method, as long as the front cannot resist, retreat immediately, and then move forward from the rear, and so on, not only the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, but also the cavalry can have a good rest time, which can be said to be very practical.

Zhao Gou immediately set up the "Front Arrow Array", which is to arrange the army in the shape of a full arrow, which means that this is an attack array.The most middle position is the coach, that is, at the front, and next to it are brave generals with extremely high combat effectiveness, such as: Gao Chong, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Lu Junyi and others.

Since the troops at the front are very dense, this formation is an assault formation, and the effect is the best.Because Xiao Pu's troops were limited, the formation he put up could be said to be defensive, and Zhao Gou had more troops, so he used his strengths to attack the Liao army with all his strength.

The only shortcoming of this team is its weak defense. It can be said that there is no defense. There is only one sentence, that is to attack, and then attack.

"kill!"

"A pair of counter attack!"

Zhao Gou gave the order to attack, and Xiao Pu sent people to meet the enemy immediately.The battle was about to break out, and everyone was gearing up to attack, while defending quickly.

Gao Chong and others lead the battle. They are brave generals. Even if the cavalry is wearing heavy armor, they still can't resist the offensive of Gao Chong and others. The power of Er Gao Chong is too strong, and the cavalry is no match at all.

"Second team up, one pair back!" Xiao Pu stood on the chariot, saw that one pair was about to be attacked, he quickly waved the battle flag in his hand to signal.

However, the second team was still unable to resist Gao Chong's power. In the end, Xiao Pu directly changed the formation and waved the battle flag in his hand. Then the formation changed and turned into a "square formation", leaving a gap for Song Jun to come in, and then The gap was surrounded again, forming a situation of encirclement.

When Zhao Gou saw that everyone was besieged, he immediately waved the battle flag and began to change formations, turning into a "flying geese formation", which, like wild geese, could both defend and attack.

The two armies killed in the dark, blood spilled on the ground, the sound of fighting, the sound of horseshoes, and muffled groans. After the Song army changed, the advantage of the Liao army disappeared and returned to the original place.

Then, Xiao Pu called Jin to withdraw his troops, retreated without panic, formed a "long snake formation", and retreated in an orderly manner.

Zhao Gou did not send troops to pursue him, but called Jin to withdraw his troops.In the first battle, the two armies fought evenly.Since the Liao army had more cavalry, the Song army had fewer cavalry and more infantry, the death toll of the Song army was more than a thousand more than that of the Liao army.

Next, the Song and Liao armies fought again, with the same result.When the Song army puts up a formation, the Liao army will put up a corresponding formation, and then continue to change formations in foreign battles, so that neither army can take advantage of it.

After several battles, the Song army lost more than [-] people, and the Liao army also lost more than [-] people.There is still a big difference in troop strength, which makes the Liao army a little worried.

If it's anything else, it's okay to say, the only thing is that the Liao army is at a disadvantage, and Xiao Pu is also impatient. He has played several times in a row, but there is no response at all, as if nothing has disappeared. This makes them very distressed. Locked up, silent.
