Chapter 41

Zhao Zi's troops entered the Shunhua Dui, and Yang Wenguang led his troops away and set up camp ten miles away.

The Song army arranged the troops of Yang Wenguang were ten miles away from the Yellow River, Dou Shunqing's troops were two miles away from the river, and Zhao Zi's troops guarded Shunhuadu. The overall shape was in a pincer-shaped shape. Yang Wenguang faced the enemy from the White Horse Military Supervisor, while Dou Shunqing guarded the enemy from the Helan Mountain, forming a horn. In fact, Zhao Zi was the general reserve team. After the White Horse Military Supervisor attacked Yang Wenguang's troops, he quickly stepped forward and raided the back path. In this battle, Shunhuaduo aimed at annihilation of the White Horse Military Supervisor.

The forward had already chosen a camp. After Yang Wenguang arrived, he commanded various departments to set up positions and set up camps.

The reason I chose this is because there is a small lake formed by the flooding of the Yellow River on the left. The lake water is deep, which can ensure the safety of the left wing. The right wing has received support from Zhao Zi's troops from Duhu Du of Hue, so there is no need to arrange too much force on the wing.

Du Zhongxiao’s residence in Shunhua Du, Du Zhongxiao looked at the newly drawn map and said to Zhao Zi: “After the White Horse Army Supervisor arrives, if the troops in order to attack Shunhua Du, they must attack Yang Wenguang, otherwise their flanks will be vulnerable to attack. When the army faces the enemy, once the flanks are broken, the situation will be gone. The same is true for Dou Shunqing to face the Dangxiang Right-Entertainment Military City. According to your estimate, how will Dangxiang fight this battle?"

Zhao Zi said: "There is no other way. Dangxiang must attack Yang Wenguang's troops with all his strength. The right-wing military city is a key place. If the army goes out of the city to attack Dou Shunqing, the consequences cannot be afforded. The White Horse Military Supervisor has no such concern. As long as Yang Wenguang is captured and the Helanshan Guards attack Dou Shunqing's troops with the Helanshan Guards will be the right way to win. Of course, the Dangxiang people can be brave enough to send a unit to restrain Dou Shunqing, and the White Horse Military Supervisors will send a unit to restrain Yang Wenguang, and use the main force to attack our troops in Shunhua. Dangxiang people will not be so stupid, right?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's hard to say very much. In recent months, we have won consecutive battles. Who knows what news they heard? General Dangxiang was panicked and it was normal to make any choice. In fact, as you said, the two sides restraint and the main force attacked Shunhuadu was the one I was most unsuitable for. Most of the artillery in your army was given to Yang Wenguang, and the cavalry was strengthened, not a defensive configuration."

Zhao Zi laughed and said, "The strategy is arranged in this way, so naturally I don't want the Dangxiang people to attack Shunhuadu with all their might. However, this way is because the strategy believes that this way of play is the Dangxiang people who seek death by themselves? How many soldiers and horses should Dangxiang have to be used to restrain Yang Wenguang and Dou Shunqing? They dare to use the main force to attack Shunhuadu, but they are afraid that the two restrained soldiers will be destroyed first and we will close the door and beat the dog."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Yes, we are planning the war according to the idea of ​​normal people, but we are afraid that the madman will come. Your team has few artillery, and even infantry are equipped with horses, which is a fast-striking configuration. Suddenly, tens of thousands of people rushed up, which will be complicated by then."

Zhao Zi's artillery, except for some simple and easy-to-portable mortars, was given to Yang Wenguang. After the Black Mountain Military Supervisor Division, there were countless more horses. Zhao Zi's troops now have horses, and generals and important figures even had two horses. When infantrymen have horses, they are not cavalry, and they cannot fight immediately. Instead, they prepare to ride horses and dismount to fight after the opportunity arises.

Such configuration is for offensive purposes. If Dangxiang goes crazy and attacks Shunhua, Zhao Zi's troops will inevitably suffer great losses. Of course, it would be useless to destroy Zhao Zi's troops if Dangxiang fights like that, and he is surrounded by the Song army by the Yellow River.

Five days later, in the official hall of the Right Xiangrei, buried in the middle of the army city, the upper position was Yepu Duoge, and the lower position was Ela Baozhong, the governor of the White Horse Military Supervisor who had just arrived. As soon as Ela Baozhong arrived, he was immediately summoned into the Right Xiangrei by Ela Baozhong to discuss the next battle.

After asking Elabaozhong's hard work on the road, he buried Xiangrei and said, "Last month, a foreigner from Song Dynasty came to surrender, and was taken by Zhuolun Village, and sent it to the Quyehe camp in the south. The Song people went to Zhuolun Village to challenge him, but the defender Liu Sheng did not return, which caused the war. Tens of thousands of Song troops suddenly surrounded Zhuolun Village, and they had sharp artillery and captured Zhuolun Village. The Song army took advantage of the situation and went south to destroy more than 20 forts from Quyehe's country. The Prime Minister of the Tibetan Kingdom led 70,000 troops and rushed to the rescue thousands of miles. Unexpectedly, the main force of the Song army suddenly arrived at Tiande Army, and within a few days they captured Wulun Sea City and took the opportunity to go to the north. If the Song army occupied Huoyun Cross, the land of Song within hundreds of miles south of Heishan would be all Song. Go south and break this city, you can reach Xingqing Prefecture in a few days. In this battle, the Song army must be driven away, and it is best to recapture Wulahai City. If you cannot recapture Wuzuhai City, you must also drive the Song army north and wait for the Prime Minister's army to return."

The foreign people Dangxiang called were generally many foreign tribes in the Khitan, Tatar, Tubo and Hexi. They did not think they were foreign people. However, sometimes, the Dangxiang people who were not in the territory were also called foreign households. One reason was that they were not serious about this matter, and the other was that they followed the Song Dynasty's name.

Ela Baozhong bowed: "Ling Gong, I wonder how many soldiers and horses of the Song army opposite?"

Cang Yixiangre said, "It is reported that the entire army is only more than 30,000. According to the news I received, this time it was Du Zhongxiao, the commander of the Hequ Road Administration, and the generals under him were Wu Song, the leader of the cavalry, Yang Wenguang, Zhao Zi and Dou Shunqing. The leader of the artillery, Yao Shouxin, stayed in Dongshengzhou and did not come with the army. What we fear most was the artillery of the Song army, and the infantry and cavalry were not scary. Yao Shouxin stayed in Dongsheng to prepare for the army of the prime minister. It seems that the Song people also think so. Although the 30,000 Song troops on the opposite side, although there are a large number of people, they are actually far inferior to those of Tang Longzhen."

Speaking of this, Bei Yixiang Re asked Ela Baozhong: "How many soldiers and horses did the Grand Marshal bring here?"

Ela Baozhong bowed: "After the officer received the order of the Yepu Taiwei, he immediately ordered the troops and horses of the headquarters and subordinate tribes, and did not dare to delay at all. He was over fifteen years old and under his jurisdiction to collect all the soldiers and horses of the army under his command. There were more than 21,000 soldiers and nearly 40,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 60,000 soldiers and horses!"

After hearing this, Burying Xiangre nodded repeatedly: "Taiwei is a loyal minister in the country! With your troops of 60,000, Yepu Taiwei Helanshan soldiers and horses, plus the 5,000 elite soldiers I brought, our 120,000 army, why worry about the 30,000 Song army!"

Ela Baozhong stood up: "Please order the public army. I am willing to be the vanguard and destroy the Song army in Shunhua to fill the Yellow River!"

Burying Yixiang Re waved his hands repeatedly: "The Grand Marshal sat down and spoke. The two armies should not be reckless in fighting. We should discuss it carefully. The Song army entered Tanglong Town and fought for thousands of miles. There were many battles, but never defeated them. Although we attacked the poor with more attacks, we should not underestimate them."

Elazhong sat back on his seat and said, "Please order the formation to be announced!"

Burying Yixiang nodded: "The current formation of the Song army is in the shape of an inverted character. Yang Wenguang set up camp ten miles away from the Yellow River, while Dou Shunqing went south to the crossing of Shunhua three miles away, and the two armies formed a horn. Zhao Zi's troops were in the crossing of Shunhua, and they didn't know what the intention was, but I thought they would have something to do."

Yepu Duoge said: "Also, Dou Shunqing broke through the military city five miles south of Shunhuadu, and all of them were demolished. He did not station there, so he didn't know what the purpose was."

Elabaozhong said: "I think the Song army has not had many troops, so the two armies dare not be too far apart. They retreated and rely on each other with Zhao Zi."

Yepu Duoge said: "The Taiwei's statement also makes sense. But Yang Wenguang in the north is far from Shuhua, and it is far from Yuezi, and it is not in line with it. The Song army must have a plan in this way. We must consider it repeatedly to avoid falling into the evil plan."

Elabaozhong said: "There are only 30,000 troops left and right in the Song army, and my 120,000 troops, why should we be afraid? What we are afraid of is the artillery of the Song army? Ling Gong said that the artillery leader Yao Shouxin stayed in Dongshengzhou and did not come with the army. The power was greatly reduced! In my opinion, there is no need to be suspicious. Since Yang Wenguang's troops came out alone, we will attack him together and destroy one of them first!"

Burying Xiangre said: "It is good for the Taiwei to be eager to fight, but when marching and fighting, you must plan carefully. Yang Wenguang's troops will cross ten miles from Shunhua to set up camp, which must have a deep meaning. He could have been with Zhao Zi's troops, so why should he do this?"

Elabaozhong said: "The Yellow River reaches Langshan for a hundred miles. The Song army did this because they were afraid that our army would bypass Hue and hit the side of the back."

Yepu Duoge said: "Wu Song, the leader of the cavalry of the Song army, brought thousands of cavalry to gather in Langshan. If we want to attack the side back, it is not easy."

After hearing this, Ela Baozhong was a little irritated: "I'm afraid of this, and I'm afraid of it, how to fight? Ling Gong, Taiwei, our 120,000 army was scared by the 30,000 Song army and was so scared that it had never happened!"

Nobuki said: "I have never been able to fight the Song army so well. Be careful of everything, it is always right."

Chunyi Xiangre said: "In this battle, first, we must protect the city of Youxiang. This is the gateway to Xingqing Mansion, where the country is safe and cannot be missed. Second, we must drive the Song army out of Shuhua and reach north of Langshan Pass."

Speaking of this, Burying Xixiangre clarified his thoughts and said to the two: "There are two unusual places in the arrangement of the Song army. One is why Yang Wenguang's troops were far away from Shunhua, which clearly made us attack. The other is why Dou Shunqing's troops abandoned the military city after occupying the military city and set up a formation two miles behind. The Song army's move must have profound meaning, and we should not fall into its trap. According to my wishes, we will target 10,000 troops tomorrow, first go to Dou Shunqing's troops to line up and try the combat power of the Song army. Ela Taiwei walked with us and became familiar with the Song army. If our army was worried too much, Ela Taiwei returned to the army and wanted to attack Yang Wenguang!"

Ela Baozhong bowed: "As long as you follow the orders of the Lord!"

Lou Bobei where Ela Baozhong is located is relatively remote. There is not much news about the Song army in the desert and near the Yanchi. The tribes in the desert live a hard life and are even more warlike. The 120,000 army is not used to the 30,000 Song army, and the timid look of Bury Yixiangre and Yepu Duoge.

No matter how they were arranged, as long as they started fighting, Ela Baozhong would no longer argue. The White Horse Military Supervision Office sent 60,000 troops to ignite all the men and women. The place was poor and there was not much military ration. How could it be consumed here for a long time?
