Zhang Gao'er's face looked a little ugly... Yang Weizhong said before setting off that the key to the Battle of Tong'an was the food route, which shows that he knew that Qiulongling would definitely be cut off by the enemy, but he actually wanted to go to Qiulongling. Isn't this a way to die? Although Yang Weizhong spent three days crossing Qiulongling to ensure that the 50,000 troops had enough food and grass for ten days, the enemy is cutting off Qiulongling, and Yang Keshi could not immediately fight to Gaizhu City. Even if Yang Weizhong divided his troops now, he would not be able to join Yang Keshi. This battle was simply a dangerous victory. Yang Weizhong actually did not have much chance of winning.

Zhang Gao'er endured it again and again, but Yang Weizhong was clearly lying, which made him angry. In the end, he couldn't help but accuse him angrily: "Since Yang Shuai knew that this was a piece of dead land, why didn't he explain it clearly and was vague when he was shaking Wucheng?"

Yang Weizhong smiled bitterly and thought to himself that if I made it clear, would you still come to die?

"When Liu Shuai led us to attack Tong'an City, we knew it was a piece of land, and we had to die forever, but there was no way. Tong Guan's order could not be disobeyed, and we had to fight if we didn't fight." Yang Weizhong's voice was filled with a strong sadness and bitterness, "As for Karochuan, when the strength of both sides was comparable, the best way was to use the main force to rush into the dead land, drag the enemy's defense to defend the main force, and then use the partial army to go north to open up the food channel,

There is no other way. The reason why Tong Guan was determined to fight was to win in the danger. Unfortunately, we had insufficient experience and made many mistakes in the first attack on Tong'an City. As a result, we were defeated on the first day. He Guan's partial army had just captured Park Long City at that time, and there were still dozens of miles away from Gaizhu. There was no time to rescue him, resulting in the defeat on the entire line."

"Then how does Yang Shuai plan to win this time?" Zhang Gao'er felt a little timid when he thought of the 100,000 army that had been killed in battle. His arrogance suddenly became weaker and he asked coldly.

"The enemy and our side know this battle. The key is to compete for control of Karochuan. Whoever gets Karochuan will get the initiative in the northwest battlefield. So if nothing unexpected happens, the Xia army general stationed in Karochuan is not Richard, but one of the main generals who participated in the Tong'an War that year." Yang Weizhong looked around and said slowly, "From the experience of the last Tong'an War, as long as we cut off our food route, the Xia army will be sure to win. From this we can infer that the enemy's offensive and defensive strategy is nothing more than cutting off the Qiulongling Mountain Road, blocking our northward side troops on the line of Gaizhu City, and sieging our main force between Tong'an City and Gaizhu City, so as to force our main force to retreat."

"So, our countermeasure is to use a group of people and horses to drag the main force of the enemy here, and use the main force to quickly go south to attack Gai Zhucheng

, turn passive into activeness.”

This was a established plan. Zhang Gaoer was impatient when he heard this and immediately interrupted Yang Weizhong's words, "Yang Shuai, when will the troops be divided?"

"No, please listen to me." Although Yang Weizhong was extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Gao'er, he had to suppress his anger in order to take into account the overall situation and slowly explained, "You must know that if the main force of the enemy in Tong'an City defended the city to the death, with the dangerous terrain here, even if we assembled a hundred thousand troops, we would not be able to conquer the city in the shortest time. Once the siege was too long, enemy reinforcements would flock to it, and the result would be a failure."

"For this, we must lure out the main force of the enemy in Tong'an City."

Hou Gai, Zhang Gao'er, Zhe Kecun and others looked at each other, and suddenly realized that they knew Yang Weizhong's true thoughts. He wanted to use a 50,000 army as bait to lure all the main forces of the enemy in Tong'an City, and then meet Yang Keshi, Zhe Ke asked for two armies to win in one battle.

"Where will the plan come out?" Hou Gui became more and more impressed by Yang Weizhong and his expression was even more respectful.

"We pretended to be panicked, divided into two groups, and went south to attack Gai. Zhucheng, and made the intention of opening up the food channels. In fact, we were to drag the main force of the enemy in the direction of Gaizhucheng to cooperate with the Grand Governor to conquer the two cities of Park Long and Shuibo; we attacked the city here, and three days later, pretended to be insufficient food and grass and retreated quickly to lure the main force of the enemy in Tong'an City. At this time, in order to defeat us, the enemy was very likely to implement interspersed divisions on us, and we had to hold them back and persist. We must wait until the Grand Governor Zhe and Grand Governor rushed forward to cooperate with us inside and outside and wipe out the enemy."

Yang Weizhong looked at the generals and looked worried, "This method is extremely risky. First of all, we cannot guarantee that the soldiers will always maintain high morale; secondly, our food and grass are only available for ten days. If the Prime Minister and the Grand Commander fail to meet and fail to conquer Gaizhu City within ten days, we may be wiped out."

Hou Jia and others were a little nervous, but at this moment the army had arrived at Tong'an City, and they had to fight if they didn't fight.

"Does the Grand Marshal and the Grand Governor know your plan?" Hou Gui asked hurriedly. If this plan was temporarily thought out by Yang Weizhong, the possibility of success would be too small.

"Of course I know." Yang Weizhong said, "This plan was jointly drafted by the Grand Commander, the Grand Commander and I in Lanzhou. Before I left Lanzhou, the Grand Commander said that he would conquer Gaizhu City at all costs on the 10th day of the first tenth day, and join forces with me to encircle and kill the enemy."

Yang Weizhong brought Li Hu out, and Hou Guai, Zhang Gaoer and others had nothing to say and acted according to the plan.

The army entered the valley one after another, approached Tong'an City, and set up camps.

Li Dingchuan stood on the city tower, looking at the Song army battle flag vaguely visible on the hills in the distance, his heart was as strong as lead. This battle was related to the life and death of the Dangxiang people, and Karochuan was the key to this battle, but Xingqing Prefecture did not have the confidence to win. The emperor and the court were determined to retreat to Hexi. At such a critical moment, the king and his ministers were disconnected. Brother Richard was actually bound to Helan Mountain and could not rush to the battlefield in Shuofang himself, which led to the increasing tension.

Li Dingchuan participated in the Tong'an War that year. At that time, he was Richard's deputy commander, which was also an important reason why Richard asked him to take charge of Karochuan, but today is different from the past. The Song army was limited in strength, Richard could draw reinforcements from Hexi and Helan Mountain, and Li Hu's tiger today

The Fiery Army was strong and attacked at the same time on both east and west sides, with a strong momentum. In this case, each battlefield could not protect itself, and no one had any extra troops to support Karochuan.

Li Dingchuan sighed secretly. The only hope at present is that the old coach Renduo has protected the country, but in order to cooperate with Richard, Renduo's protection country was unable to make up his mind to annihilate the Song army that entered Hexi. Two days ago, the scouts reported that the Song army had emerged from the Zhenwu Army. Li Dingchuan urgently reported to Helan Mountain and asked Renduo's protection country for help, hoping that Renduo's protection country could lead his army to support as soon as possible.

At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came. Cao Ji'an, the garrison of Tong'an City, gasped and reported loudly. In accordance with Li Dingchuan's order, the army ambushed on Qiulongling had cut off the mountain road and cut off the connection between Tong'an City and Zhenwu Army.

"The army has entered the designated position and can fight at any time. Please give orders from the general commander."

Li Dingchuan nodded slightly, then waved to Cao Ji'an, called him to his side, pointed to the valley in the distance and said, "After the arrival of the Song army, they first seized the hills on the east and west sides of the valley, and then sent people to seize the mountain pass ten miles away, which shows that they learned the lessons of the last Tong'an War." Li Dingchuan frowned deeply and his hands were

He whispered, "Since they learned the lessons of the last failure, they knew that Qiulongling would be cut off by us, why would they be trapped in desperate situation again and fight a battle with no chance of winning at all?"

"The terrain of Karochuan is dangerous. If Li Hu does not have an absolute military advantage, he will not be able to fight from Lanzhou to Tong'an." Cao Ji'an pointed to the surrounding mountains, "The terrain of Tong'an is even more dangerous. The army cannot be deployed, and no matter how many troops are, it is useless. Therefore, if you want to break through the Karochuan defense line, you must first kill from Qiulongling and cut off this defense line, so that Tong'an and Gaizhu will lose contact, and then conquer Gaizhu City first, open up the food channel, and then gather troops.

To attack Tong'an with all his strength is the only way to conquer the Karochuan defense line." Cao Ji'an looked murderous and sneered, "Gaizhucheng has the support of Bailuoquan, and the defense force is as high as 30,000. The frontal attack of the Song army will inevitably be blocked. The army under Tong'an City is not as good as food and grass. If it is not safe for a few days, it will retreat before so as to attack Gaizhucheng with the frontal attacking Song army. As long as they retreat, they will inevitably fall into our trap and will not escape the disaster of the entire army."

Li Dingchuan frowned even deeper and was worried.

Cao Ji'an glanced at him and asked carefully: "What are the magistrates worried about?"

"The Song people can see things that we can see at a glance, and they still insist on this style of playing, which means they have already made a countermeasure." Li Dingchuan asked in a low voice, "What is their countermeasure?"

"The Song army's strength is comparable to ours, we can't eat it in one bite." Cao Ji'an hesitated for a moment and said, "This is probably the biggest guarantee that the Song army dared to come in again."

Li Dingchuan looked up at the ashes, "If there is a heavy snowfall now, then we will definitely win."

"If Hexi reinforcements can arrive in Tong'an in the past two days, we will be sure to win this battle."

Reinforcements in Hexi? Li Dingchuan smiled bitterly and shook his head secretly, hating Xingqing Prefecture's retreat strategy to the extreme. If the emperor and ministers in the court were willing to defend Helan Mountain, the reinforcements in Hexi would have arrived long ago, so why would the Karochuan defense line be in danger?

"Tonight, we sent more teams of troops to harass the Song army everywhere, so that the enemy could not sleep all night." Li Dingchuan ordered, "In addition, ask the soldiers to call the whole mountain and tell the Song people that we have cut off their retreat and dissipate the morale of the enemy."

Cao Ji'anluo hesitated and asked in a low voice: "Master, if the Song people turn around and retreat immediately and run to attack Gai Zhucheng, then with our troops, it will be difficult for them to eat."
