Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 209: Will Emperor Liao and King Qin die together?

"The Liao army...the formation is arranged in layers, and it seems that many Han troops have been dispatched. There must be a conspiracy."

"Yes, there might be an ambush behind the mountains."

"The mountains on the west side are high, and there might be a trebuchet ambush on them."

"And here, there might be a water attack here, such as Guan Yunchang's flooded Seventh Army."

In the handsome tent, Zhao Guangmei covered her head and listened to the group of young army guards in front of her analyzing the situation in a stern manner. For a moment, she felt angry and funny at the same time.

Shi Shouxin and others, on the other hand, held their arms and watched these young people racking their brains to think about the so-called conspiracy of the Liao army, and they felt as if they were watching a show.

Of course you can't blame them.

Yelujing personally took action, and the attack was fierce. The so-called 30-strong army rushed towards them, and confronted them across the river not far away. The battle line stretched for more than 400 miles, and was layered on top of each other. The most important thing is that the imperial flag, which represents the emperor's personal expedition, is dangling in front of their eyes like a taunt. Sometimes the scout horse will even report that they saw an enemy soldier wearing golden armor. The middle-aged man was climbing up to inspect the terrain and their formation in person. He was most likely Liao Emperor Yelujing.

Does the king of a country have such a high position?

My eldest brother is far away in Fengxiang and is serving as the central army for him. How come, Yelujing is also the vanguard himself?Is he braver than his eldest brother who was a general?

And isn’t Yelu House still in Liangzhou?What kind of battle is this? The emperor serves as a front-line army for the prime minister?If the war goes bad, why don't we have to give the prime minister a back seat?
The imperial flags were like beauties wearing black stockings and high-cut cheongsam, ogling them unscrupulously, as if to say, come and play, little handsome guy.

As we all know, the Song Army is far superior to the Liao Army in terms of being elite. If the Liao Emperor is so far ahead, does it mean that he must now concentrate his elite forces to fight with him and kill the emperor? This Song-Liao war can be announced in advance. it's over?

Puzzled, Zhao Guangmei naturally asked his huge staff to discuss it together, so most of them thought that this should be a fake and a bait.

But no one had any idea about how to lure them. Instead, Zhao Guangmei asked his young military generals to analyze it first. The results became increasingly unreliable after analysis. Even Zhao Guangmei, an unprofessional person, could see that it was Nonsense.

The Liao army was insane, so they deliberately built trebuchets and placed them on the mountain to ambush them, and they did not want to attack the top of the mountain.

So he turned around and asked Zhang Lingduo: "Father-in-law, you are a veteran general in the army. What do you think the Liao army is planning?"

"There is a conspiracy, and it's not what they said. It must be strategic. I'm wondering if this is a suspicious army? Whether the real Emperor of Liao or the fake Emperor of Liao, is it possible that he deliberately wants to seize us? Attract all the attention to Jia Qi, and then send Na Yelu Wuzhi, or some other brave general, to surprise and win?"

"Yes, yes, it's very possible."

A lot of other veteran generals also agreed. After all, winning by surprise has been the specialty of these generals for the past five generations. Everyone felt that the Emperor of Liao must be doing this as well.

Although, the Liao army has always been not good at surprise attacks.

"A surprise attack will win, but if so, where are they planning to attack by surprise? It doesn't make sense. Could it be that they want to attack Fengxiang by surprise and attack my eldest brother's rear army?"

Then, this group of people knitted their eyebrows and started thinking hard.

Because it really makes no sense. Although the Song army is now divided into three, including Zhang Qiong and Guiyi's army who are coming here, it is divided into four, but in fact the battle line itself is not long or wide. .

Liangzhou doesn't have a very wide battlefield in total. What about the Hexi Corridor? Even if it's a long snake formation, the front line can be stretched out for three to five hundred miles. Relatively speaking, the Song Army is currently adopting On the defensive, they were not in a hurry to engage in a decisive battle with the Liao army. They sat back and watched the fierce conflict between the Liao army and the Tubo people, which turned from resisting the Song Dynasty and aiding the country to a major invasion of Liangzhou.

Several major main military areas are all in turmoil. Who is he trying to sneak attack on?

As for plundering the Song Army's logistics and food routes... The Song Army's rear area is the entire Guanzhong, almost fighting within the territory. The entire logistics center is based on Jingzhao and Fengxiang. Could it be that the Liao Army plans to send elite troops to bypass it? The Song Army's defense area traveled thousands of miles to attack Chang'an?

Then everyone analyzed it in a serious manner. If the Liao army also mastered the technology of compressed biscuits, or might have obtained a large number of compressed biscuits from Dangxiang or Guiyi Army through smuggling and other means, could they have secretly captured Chang'an? The city was touched.

Anyway, Bai Chongzan boldly stated that the conditions were mature and he would definitely be able to do it if he were a Liao general.

However, most of the staff still believe that this should be unfounded. What the Song Army may really be able to do, the Liao Army may not necessarily be able to do. The national conditions of the two countries, especially the gap in military systems, are too big. Even if the Liao Army is If we really get a batch of compressed biscuits, if we want to attack Chang'an, we must have Yelujing or Yeluwuzhi personally lead the Pishi army to steal them. If we are so brave, we can kill them in Guanzhong, and this battle will be over. .

Of course, this is not to blame for these veterans being too stupid. In fact, even Zhao Guangmei could not imagine that the internal power struggle in the Liao Kingdom had become so intense.In order to prevent Yelujing from seizing his military power, Yelvuzhi did not hesitate to abandon Shazhou and chose the battle location in Liangzhou. However, in order to gain military power, Yelujing did everything possible and actually ran directly in front of Yelujing. .

As for danger, throughout the dynasties, which emperor wanted to centralize power was not dangerous?Is it true that dying in a palace coup is death, but dying on the battlefield is not death?
The Liao Kingdom has its own national conditions here.

Then very quickly, without giving Zhao Guangmei and the others sufficient time to discuss, Yelujing began to launch a general attack on Zhao Guangmei and attack Jiaqi City.

And it’s really not a test. The big ones came as soon as they came up. There seemed to be 30 people in front and behind. The densely packed Han troops carried ladders and planned to attack the city.

Zhao Guangmei's face was completely confused and incomprehensible.

Could this Yelujing be real?
Jiaqi is a small city in Liangzhou. It makes no difference whether it has it or not in terms of defense. Moreover, the Song army is really not used to defending the city. With the unanimous support of all the staff, Zhao Guangmei ordered the entire army to abandon the city and go out to engage in field battles with the Liao army. .

Then the battle was fought from day to night, and the whole Song army was shocked. Although the veteran generals personally rolled up their arms and sleeves to participate in the command, and even wore sharp swords and personally killed the enemy, they successfully repelled the enemy at dusk. The army suffered heavy losses, and every one of them was exhausted.

"Damn, this must be the main force of the Liao army. Yelujing is really here in person."

Zhao Guangmei also nodded solemnly.

Shi Shouxin said: "Your Highness, please let me lead three thousand elite cavalry. I will attack him personally tonight. With such a good opportunity, if we kill him, we will win."

Zhao Guangmei frowned and said: "Don't always think about a wasteful battle. Although the timing is good, our army already has the advantage of victory in this battle and can win it openly, so why do we need to take such a risk? Since he is really the Emperor of Liao, so what? Can it be killed so easily? Besides, how can I have so many elite cavalry in my hands?"

Then everyone discussed it and decided to avoid the spotlight temporarily and retreat to Yinzhou to join forces with Yang Jiye and Li Yixing.

Then, the Liao army chased him and bit him as if he was sick, until Zhao Guangmei was so confused that her face turned green.

"Is Yelujing fucking sick? You are so majestic and leading the main force to fight against me. Why the hell are you going to beat my eldest brother!"

"The Liao Emperor probably wants to die with His Highness. He looked a little crazy during this battle."

Zhao Guangmei herself was in disbelief: "Emperor Liao, come and die with me? This is not equitable."

They were puzzled, but since they were chasing them, they had to fight, so everyone had to stop and form an array, and fought for another day to push back the Liao army.

Then after taking the prisoners and asking, they found out that Yelujing had really come, and made it clear that Zhao Guangmei, the King of Qin in the Song Dynasty, was the foundation of the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. He, the Emperor of Liao, actually wanted to give priority to him even if he died together. Concentrate your forces and kill him.

At least that's what it said on the surface. There was no strategic concept at all within the Liao army. They just wanted to kill the King of Qin, saying that this man was the biggest threat to Liao in a hundred years.

Zhao Guangmei has been treated inexplicably.

Is this really serious?Or are you trying to sow discord between me and my eldest brother?

"Your Highness, the Liao army has too many cavalry. If we continue to harass them with small groups, it will be difficult for us to retreat to Yinzhou unharmed. It is better to camp here and wait for reinforcements from the officials and party members."

"Yes, Your Highness, since Yelujing personally acted as bait, we will surround him on three sides. When the time comes, he will die without a burial place."

Zhao Guangmei, with the help of some prophets, had somewhat understood Yelujing's thoughts.

This guy clearly deliberately used himself as bait to lure his eldest brother and Yang Jiye to surround him, thus forcing Yelv House to support him.

In other words, he wants to surround himself, then let Yang Jiye and Zhao Kuangyin surround him, and finally let Yelu Wuzhi surround Zhao Kuangyin and Yang Jiye. In this way, no matter whether he wins or loses militarily, this battle will definitely be a great gain politically. Total victory.

To be honest, it was not a bad thing to defeat Song Jun like this, but Zhao Guangmei still didn't want them to get their way, so she said, "Didn't that kid Zhao Dezhao make a bunch of leads? Take it out, and I'll modify it to see if I can get some mines. Blow up these grandsons."
