.Chapter 628 An enemy attacked

The Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty have been fighting for a hundred years, and both sides are very familiar with each other's advantages and disadvantages. When facing the Song army, the biggest advantage of the Liao team is their mobility, and the speed of the cavalry is not something that the Song army can keep up with.

There is another most critical point, which is also Yelu Hongji believes that the greatest advantage over the Liao Kingdom in this battle, that is, the psychological difference between the Liao people and the Song people.

The Liao people suppressed the Song Dynasty for so long. The Song Dynasty is now very powerful. The national strength has already pulled the Liao Kingdom far behind. But national strength is just a factor that determines how much you can fight the war. As long as you are fast enough, you can break a certain line of defense of the Song army in the shortest time, threaten the security of the Song Dynasty's mainland, and then fight a few more big and small victories, the Song people will immediately think of the trauma that the Liao team once brought to them.

They would be afraid that the failure would happen again, and they would quickly send the scholars and officials to seek peace. At that time, they could ask the Song army to pay compensation and ask the Song army to cede some land as before.

He would no longer ask for copper coins for this compensation. If silver is required, millions of taels of silver will be enough to help the Liao Kingdom overcome the current difficulties. He could even ask the merchants of the Song Dynasty to use copper coins when trading with the Liao Kingdom.

The key to the war lies in speed. Yelu Niegulu was right. The Liao Kingdom must take advantage of the Song army's speed that the Song army could not match when it was not reacting. Otherwise, once it fell into a protracted war, the Song army's defense advantage would be fully utilized, and the Song Dynasty's national strength could also defeat the battle formation for a long time.

The one who fails like that must be the Liao Kingdom.

Yelu Hongji led the 500,000 troops he could mobilize now to pounce on Hejian Prefecture as fast as possible. This time he did not even wait until the troops were fully assembled, nor until all the supplies were in place. After the negotiations with Yelu Negulu, Yelu Hongji took the Liao general Xiao Da as the vanguard and led 50,000 cavalry to advance and pounced on the Xin'an military camp of the Song Dynasty as fast as possible.

His intention was very clear, to defeat the Xin'an military camp, disrupt Ren Fu's defense system in Hejian Prefecture, and then to defeat Ren Fu's troops in Hejian Prefecture, or to kill here to threaten the mainland of the Song Dynasty, depending on the situation.

The Xin'an Military Camp consists of more than ten castles, each castle contains two to three thousand soldiers, with a distance of no more than three miles. The person in charge of guarding the Song Dynasty general Xu Huaide.

Xu Huaide was chosen as his breakthrough because Yelu Hongji investigated very clearly that the other troops of the Song army had strict military discipline and strict training. Only Xu Huaide's men should be relatively relaxed.

I heard that Xu Huaide was almost cut off by Ren Fu a few days ago.

The reason was that a few days ago, a landlord named Wei Qiang, near the Song army's garrison, might be polite. The landlord also sent an invitation to the garrison, asking Xu Huaide to have a wedding wine.

If Xu Huaide is also a capable person, it would be fine if he drank the wedding banquet. I don’t know what methods he used in the middle, but after drinking the wedding banquet, the bride actually made him sleep in a bed willingly.

Wei Qiang is also a well-known figure in the local area, so how could he suffer this mute loss? He immediately sued Ren Fu. Ren Fu originally wanted to convict Xu Huaide of forcing a woman to rob a civilian, which was enough to behead him. But in the end, the new wife actually cried and shouted out to plead for Xu Huaide, saying that everything was voluntary.

Since it was voluntary, it would be impossible to rob a civilian woman for a maximum of 100% of abducting a good woman. In the Song Dynasty, such a thing is not abolished, but a romantic one. Ren Fu beat Xu Huaide's fifty boards, then deducted his military pay for half a year, and asked him to wait for the troops. After transferring a suitable general from behind, Xu Huaide immediately got out of the army.

In Yelu Hongji's view, the troops led by a general who is about to leave will definitely be the easiest to defeat. What's more, Wei Qiang will definitely not cooperate with the Song army to fight, and he will definitely be able to convince Xu Huaide.

So, he focused his target on Xu Huaide.

After Xu Huaide was beaten by dozens of big boards, he didn't even realize that he had become the target of the Liao people.

He did not have any obscureness about what he had done, and he also promoted it everywhere as his record. However, in the middle, he used how he could make the bride who had just met him willing to sleep with him. Many people wanted to know about this question, but he didn't even say it.

Lying on the lounge chair, watching the ants crawl over the ground one by one, Xu Huaide thought about what to do after he went back.

A few days later, the new general will get out of here. In fact, Bai Yutang is already in charge of things now. He stays here just to wait for a formality and heal the wounds so that he can get out of the ground more easily.

What Xu Huaide did this time was incomprehensible to many people. He lost his future for a woman, which was extremely stupid at the time. But as long as you go to the battlefield, you will understand that the more veterans are, the more likely they are to do something that violates military discipline.

The reason is very simple. The most valuable thing on the battlefield is human life. Whether it is a general or a soldier, a single knife from where you can turn you into a corpse. There may be a guy with poor archery skills and a drifting arrow is shot and inserted into you, and your life will disappear.

Those veterans have seen death. They are indifferent to life and death, but while they are indifferent to life and death, they are also indifferent to discipline and morality. The oppression of death makes them seize every opportunity to indulge themselves. They care about life and death, so what else should they care about?

Xu Huaide was a little angry. He had worked hard for so many years in the army, and he had no credit and worked hard. He fought so beautifully in Qingfeng Village that he could not resist the mistakes he had made. Ren Fu did not give him any of them, even if he was to remember this matter first and punish him later.

After a few days of anger, he comforted himself and thought that leaving the army might not be a bad thing for him, at least he would not have to do such a desperate errand in the future. This time he would fight against the Liao Kingdom. Although the generals estimated that the Song Dynasty would win this battle, the price of the victory might also cost more than 100,000 Song troops to die on the battlefield. Maybe he would stay and become one of the tens of thousands.

The situation in the Song Dynasty is very good now, and he has some money in his hands. He also thinks he is not stupider than anyone else. Scholars do business and make money to live their life well.

When I was in the third level, I met Chen Shimei. If I went to find him, he should be able to help him. As long as he helped him a little, the matter would be much easier.

Just as he was imagining the future, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid steps running towards him. He turned to see Bai Yutang's serious expression. Xu Huaide didn't know what happened.

"Master Bai Wu, what's the matter? Is the new general here?"

"The new general has not come, and he can't come either."

Xu Huaide was stunned: "What's going on?"

Bai Yutang came over and picked him up: "The people of Liao have been called, and they have been here."

Xu Huaide struggled sharply in Bai Yutang's palm: "Hey, let go, my butt is not healed yet."

Bai Yutang did not let go at all: "The four camps in front have been lost. Now all the generals are in the big tent. You must command us, because the documents to remove you have not come yet, nor have the new generals come."

After Xu Huaide stood up, he twisted his head suddenly and broke free from Bai Yutang's palm: "What's the matter with me if you let go? Before the new general came, the troops were commanded by you. This was what Ren Fu said in person. Which onion should I count when I went?"

Bai Yutang shook his head: "General, now is not the time to act voluntarily. The people of Liao will come soon. Even if you are not a general, you must stand up for the clothes you are wearing."

Xu Huaide sneered: "Aren't you here yet? Let's do this, I'll go out to ask for help from you. Is this OK? "

Bai Yutang looked at him for a while: "Okay, then you go, a person like you who is spineless, I really don't know how you became a general. If you are lucky in the future, it's best not to show up again."

After Bai Yutang finished speaking, he turned around and stopped looking at Xu Huaide. He knew that Xu Huaide's heart had left the army. Keeping others at this time will not only not be able to help, but also kill these brothers.

Besides, I didn't have time to talk to him. The Liao people came too quickly, and the Song army had no preparation at all. The first two barracks fell almost instantly, and the two behind were beaten down by the Liao people without much effort.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Liao** team will be here in half an hour. It is to retreat, defend, and ask for help. We must come up with a unified opinion as soon as possible.

When they walked into the military tent, the generals saw that Bai Yutang had returned alone, and their expressions were a little clear, but they couldn't believe anything. Bai Yutang walked to Xu Huaide's position and sat down: "Everyone, I will obey my command from now on. I think we must not retreat now. We will immediately give up the other military camps, and all the troops are concentrated in the Green Soldier Camp, the Zishan Camp, and our main camp."

Li Wei, who was standing beside him, nodded after hearing this: "I think it's OK. These three military camps are very strong and can support each other, and we can completely defend them."

Another general immediately said, "We will send someone to ask for help immediately so that General Ren Fu and the emperor will know that the Liao Kingdom is coming."

Seeing that everyone agreed after hearing the opinions, Bai Yutang immediately became confident: "Okay, then we will gather forces to these three camps now and give up the other not-stable camps."

Suddenly there was a shout of killing outside, and a blood-covered Song army ran in: "Generals, the vanguard of the Liao Kingdom has arrived."

Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment. The Liao people were moving too fast. Does the Song army still have the opportunity to concentrate their troops to defend?

If the troops cannot be concentrated, the cities stationed by the small troops outside will be defeated by the other side. This also means that it is very difficult for them to seek help from Ren Fu.

All the generals in the entire military camp were silent. The countermeasures that had just been discussed have changed. What should I do? Should I continue to implement them or change the strategy? The speed of the Liao people disrupted their thinking, and Bai Yutang felt a little dizzy.

The door of the military tent was pushed open again, and Xu Huaide limped in. After entering the door, he went straight to his position occupied by Bai Yutang: "Light up the fireworks, order all cities to defend to the death, and never retreat until the last person is fighting."
