Chapter 423: Set (Part 2)
"This is the information you want," Zhao Kuangyi sent a large number of information inquired by scouts to Song Jiu.
Song Jiu looked through.
Originally, there was an army in Beizhou, but Zhao Tingpu brought it to Mozhou. We defended Mozhou and Yingzhou. In fact, Song Jiu said that he would come back to retire and was not wronged. He asked him to go to Yingzhou to enter the battlefield and reinforce Liu Tingrang. If he was to defend, it would be better to stay in place.
As a result, the situation is getting worse.
The little emperor of the Liao Kingdom and Xiao Yanyan stayed in the Junziguan area and did not leave. He used this to restrict the Song army from both east and west. Xiao Jiyuan led about 15,600 troops to the two states of Qishen. At this time, he was in Shenzhou and was splitting his troops into Jizhou, Beizhou and Dezhou, Lin Yamougulu and Xiao Jiyuan went to Qizhou together, and led nearly 10,000 troops across Zhaozhou. After taking Xingzhou, he went north to Zhaozhou and went south to the northern part of Mingzhou, and plundered. The Taiwei Lin Ba led nearly 10,000 cavalry from Yingzhou to east, attacking Shucheng and Wen'an. That is, Daming Prefecture and Bozhou northern part. Except for Zhenzhou, all were plundered by the Liao Kingdom.
And it was not as simple as plundering. When Song Jiu retreated, he distributed weapons to the civilians, otherwise he would have thrown them away. That's it. Afterwards, the Liao Kingdom cleaned up the battlefield and the weapons obtained were as armor as mountains. He even used some weapons made by the Song Dynasty to attack cities and villages. Therefore, some people resisted spontaneously, causing the Liao army to attack. Wherever they passed, they robbed gold and silk, and then killed all the Ding Zhuang, captured the old and young women, and then burned the remaining buildings.
Song Jiu's eyes were bleeding.
What is the difference between this and the later Japanese people entering China?
But the good news was that as Song Jiu expected, the Liao Kingdom was indeed careless and dispersed its troops.
It’s not careless, there are no soldiers behind Hebei. It’s still right to divide the troops like this without Song Jiu’s thing.
"My people."
"Your Majesty, let me go. The colder the weather is, the better it is. New Year's Day is coming soon. The weather will warm up, and this plan cannot be implemented."
"There is a memorial here, Song Qing. Look."
When Song Jiu opened it, he saw that it was a memorial written by Liu Tingrang. If he was defeated, he would shirk responsibility, so he pushed Li Jilong. However, the plan formulated by Song Jiu was mainly to join forces with Li Jilong and move closer to Leshou first. Then he discussed with Li Jilong. Wang Mian proposed to move closer to Liu Zhixin, after all, Liu Zhixin proved himself (Liu Tingrang is Liu Guangyi).
In the end, Zhao Kuangyi agreed to Song Jiu's proposal.
However, after receiving the memorial from Liu Tingrang, Zhao Kuangyi was a little hesitant.
"Your Majesty, Cao Bin's contribution to Bashu is not less than General Liu, but how about the battle at Qigou Pass? The Liao army is not comparable to the Later Shu army. I have always paid attention to the performance of the generals in the Western Prefecture, and the veteran generals have long been shown. I compare one by one in my mind. Those who can barely be equal to Yelu Xizhen are Pan Mei and Cui Yanjin, so I pay attention to the behind-the-scenes success. It cannot be proved in one battle. Sometimes some battles are somewhat accidental. Therefore, if you want to judge the military talent of the general, you must prove it in several battles. Therefore, I say that Li Jilong, Li Jixuan, Jing Si, Yang Yanzhao, Wang Chao, Fan Tingzhao, Shi Pu and other generals, and Guo Shou said that Li Jilong, Li Jixuan, Jing Si, Yang Yanzhao, Wang Chao, Fan Tingzhao, Shi Pu and other generals, and Guo Shou said that Li Jilong, Li Jixuan, Jing Si, Yang Yanzhao, Wang Chao, Fan Tingzhao, Shi Pu and other generals, and Guo Shou said that Li Jilong, Li Jixuan, Jing Si, Yang Yanzhao, Wang Chao, Fan Tingzhao, Shi Pu and other generals, and Guo Shou said that Li Jilong, Li Jixuan, Jing Si, Yang Yanzhao, Wang Chao, Fan Tingzhao, Shi Pu and other generals, and Guo Shou said that Li Jilong, Li Jixuan, Jing Si, Yang Yanzhao, Wang Chao, Fan Tingzhao, Shi Pu and others, and generals of Guo Shou, and Li Jilong, Li Jixuan, Jing Si, Yang Yanzhao, Wang Chao, Fan Tingzhao, Shi Pu and others, and generals of Guo Shou.
Wen, Tian Shaobin, Liu Zhixin, and Hu Yanzan performed well when the ministers withdrew. But it remains to be judged to reach the height they wanted. In fact, since the battle of Mancheng, to Hedong, and to the northwest, I have been observing Li Jilong, which has nothing to do with his relatives, or even his age, but his military talent. Victory must see his shortcomings, and defeat must see his highlights. In the battle of General Guo Jin, Yelu Xizhen was defeated, but how many people were his opponents? Cao Bin Ping Jiangnan won, but is he an opponent of Yelu Xiuge? Without Pan Mei's help, what would it be if Liu Yu and Wang Ming had a great victory in Wanjiangkou?"
Song Jiu insisted on paying attention to Li Jilong, but Zhao Kuangyi was helpless. After all, he was his brother-in-law.
So I asked, "Are you ready?"
"The training has been done almost and the confidentiality has been done well. General Cui has made a cruel decision this time and wants to forgive his crimes. The supervisors did not neglect them, and they snatched the things they used together."
"Be careful."
"I know that if Li Jilong performed well in this battle, there would be someone in Hebei. After all, I am a civil servant, and even some military knowledge, I am just careful to increase my prestige. In fact, it is not as good as most generals. It is not appropriate to go to the front line."
This result is not big that Zhao Kuangyi wants.
But whether Li Jilong can be competent is unknown, but he is competent. As Song Jiu said, Pan Mei is old, what should I do if there is anything in Hedong?
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I am also thinking about this issue."
"Be careful." Zhao Kuangyi reminded again.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, but I want to ask Your Majesty to give me an edict, otherwise Hebei will not be able to clean up."
...
"Haha, this kid has finally come out of the hole." Lin Bada laughed.
He also had another intention to attack Shucheng and Wen'an, which was to lead Li Jilong out of the cave.
There were not many Song troops in this group, but staying in Leshou was stuck among several plundering troops, which made the Liao army very uncomfortable. Without this group of Song troops, the plundering would be even happier.
Seeing the Liao army doing something wrong, not only robbing, but also massacred a large number of slaughtering, Li Jilong could no longer bear it and finally led 4,000 troops out of Leshou City. However, he was very careful and did not dare to deal with the Liao army in Shucheng, but went east along the bank of the Yongji Canal River, intending to annihilate the small Liao army in Wen'an.
Lin Ba was very happy.
Watch it early.
Do you think it's possible to be careful?
In this snowy and ice, can a group of infantry be as fast as cavalry?
A group of soldiers left behind to take over the captive people and a large amount of wealth. When they came to the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, the Liao soldiers went crazy. Hebei was originally one of the best silk production areas of the Song Dynasty. Since Song Jiu promoted the captive raising, the terrain of Hebei was not very good, low-lying, with many swamps, rivers, lakes and saline-alkali land. However, this environment has an excellent breeding. Reeds cut off the tender reeds in spring and dried them, making feed is no less than alfalfa. And cotton is gradually being promoted.
Therefore, the people of Hebei are richer than the people of Hebei in the Song Dynasty in history.
This made the Liao Kingdom's trip full of rewards.
The robbery made Xiao Yanyan and the young emperor of Liao didn't want to go back to celebrate the Spring Festival.
Lin Ba rushed over with his main force.
Li Jilong was afraid and immediately took advantage of the frozen river surface and wanted to escape to Nanpi, south of Yongji Canal.
However, no matter how he escaped, there was no fast cavalry of the Liao Kingdom. He was caught up by Lin Ba the next afternoon.
Li Jilong had no choice but to set up camp to defend.
Lin Ba launched an attack, and after an hour, both sides died heavily.
"This kid is not simple," said Lin Ba. It was too late, so he ordered a camp to fight tomorrow, but only a few thousand scared infantry soldiers. Because of the camp's force, he could only set up a camp beside Yongji Canal.
It doesn't matter. The Liao army danced in the camp and rested for a while.
The night was getting darker and deeper. It was the 22nd night of the twelfth lunar month. On the night without moonlight, the north wind was howling. It was pitch black outside. Gradually, it was the fourth hour, and the Liao soldiers guarding the court suddenly heard a sound in the distance, a very strange sound.
They couldn't help looking southwest, as if they were coming from the Yongji Canal River. However, they all became alert. At this time, the river surface was not the summer river surface. On this section of the river surface, the river level was slow. The thick frozen water was formed early, and not only could people run, but even horses could run on it.
However, the sound was surprisingly fast and approached quickly. Then I saw large groups of black shadows galloping from the river surface. There was no limit to the sight.
The guards rush the horn.
But it was too late, countless Song soldiers were wearing strange shoes under their feet. In the blink of an eye, they arrived behind them and began to line up on the river.
Lin Ba was also awakened. He had no time to put on his clothes and hurried out of the tent. At this time, the Song army began to strode in the square formation, holding shields, and heading towards the shore. Perhaps because of the shoes under his feet, he was not used to walking, and the square formation was a little scattered.
Lin Ba shouted loudly: "Prepare for war, prepare for war."
Then let the guards put on his armor.
However, at this time, the Song army was approaching, raised their shields and took out a short spear from behind. It was not a bow and arrow. It might be a distance of not far, but it would not be constrained by the cold weather, and its lethality was better than ordinary bow and arrows.
Rows of short spears were shot up like huge raindrops, and then countless screams came from the Liao army.
"Get on the horse and sprint," Lin Ba shouted anxiously.
However, there were batches of Song troops that continued to arrive later.
Lin Ba suddenly thought of the speed of their advancement on the river surface, and the dense rivers in Hebei of the Song Dynasty, and suddenly felt creepy.
This is Song Jiu's plan.
If the bow and arrow are not good, you can use short spears instead. There is no advantage of horses, but there can be another thing, and it is superior force to solve it. Then there is ice skates. There must be a big gap compared with later generations. However, as the quality of steel is improving, the casting process is also improving, and the benefits of the amusement park are also improving. However, it was for fun before, and I never thought about military affairs.
The first area of Liao Dynasty was only applicable in the southeastern region of Youzhou. Like Hebei, there were many lakes and rivers, but there were relatively few people. Secondly, it could only be used in severe winter, and sending troops in winter was obviously not good for the Song army. Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin seemed to have become interested in it before and was immediately rejected by Song Jiu.
Too restrictive.
But at this time, it happened to be useful. The areas plundered by the Liao Kingdom were mostly the Hebei Plain area. As for the poor and poor sides of the Taihang Mountains, or the Xishan area, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Why did the Liao Kingdom send troops there?
So he snatched a batch of shoes, then urgently selected 30,000 banish soldiers from near Gyeonggi, and closed them for several days to train. At the same time, he sent someone to contact Li Jilong to discuss plans.
And its speed is really fast. It can run seventy or eighty miles in an hour, bring dry food from the capital, and slid here almost in less than two days. Even sliding on the river surface, it can use the reflection of the ice on the river surface, without the need for daylight to march, and it will slide unconsciously at night. If some soldiers were not familiar with it, slipping from time to time, which will drag down some speed, the speed would be faster.
After a group of soldiers were killed and killed, the Liao army finally woke up, dressed neatly, and prepared to use war horses to sprint.
The Song army retreated in front of the formation and continued to throw short spears. Another armed Song soldiers flashed out from behind, holding short axes in their hands, then rolled to the ground, rolled under the horse's hooves of the Liao army, picking up the short axes and chopping them to the legs. Although many Song soldiers were trampled by war horses, more war horses were frightened and neighed in pain, overturning the Liao soldiers from the horse's backs.
Li Jilong's military camp also sounded the horn and beat the war drum.
"Escape!" Lin Ba was anxious and said he was speechless.
But where can I escape?
There are countless rivers of all sizes around them, and even if they ride horses, there may not be any Song soldiers sliding fast on the ice. Teams of Song troops continued to line up in snipers. No matter where they flee, the Song army chased after them like mad dogs and then bit them.
Some Liao soldiers saw something wrong and hurriedly lay on the ground and raised their hands to surrender.
Lin Ba was in a panic and didn't know where to escape. Maybe he was running eastward. There were few people in the east, so he could only escape eastward. But no one thought about where to escape eastward, and whether to escape to Cangzhou and the sea? But Lin Ba didn't know the answer. Several Song troops chased him along the river surface, and several of them were strong, and they tried their best to throw a short spear, and a short spear was inserted into Lin Ba's chest.
Lin Bada shouted and turned over and fell off the horse.
At this time, his personal soldiers ignored the rescue and continued to flee eastward.
At this time, Lin Ba was not dead yet, and he saw two Song soldiers walking over with strange steps, with their hands raising their swords falling, and his head was cut off.
