Zhao Zi's troops entered Hue Crossing, and Yang Wenguang left with his troops and set up camp ten miles away.

The Song army arranged, Yang Wenguang's department was ten miles away from the Yellow River, Dou Shunqing's department was two miles away from the river, and Zhao Zi's department guarded Hue Ferry. The overall is a zigzag, Yang Wenguang is the enemy of the White Horse Supervision Army, and Dou Shunqing is to prevent the enemy from Helan Mountain, and it has become a horn. In fact, Zhao Zi was the general reserve, and after the soldiers and horses of the White Horse Supervision Army Division attacked Yang Wenguang's department, he quickly went forward to copy his rear road. Hue crossed this battle with the goal of annihilating the White Horse Prison Division.

The striker had already selected a camp, and after Yang Wenguang arrived, he commanded all units to set up positions and set up camp.

This place was chosen because there is a small lake formed by the flooding of the Yellow River on the left, and the water of the lake is deep, which can ensure the safety of the left flank. The right flank was supported by the Hue Ferry Zhao Zi Division, and there was no need to arrange too many forces on the flank.

Hue Du Zhongxiao's residence, Du Zhongxiao looked at the newly drawn map, and said to Zhao Zi: "After the soldiers and horses of the White Horse Supervision Army arrive, if you want to attack Hue, you must attack Yang Wenguang, otherwise its flanks are vulnerable to attack. The army is close to the enemy, and once the flank is broken through, the general trend will be gone. Dou Shunqing faced the right wing of the party and the military city, which is the same reason. According to your estimation, how will the battle of the party be fought? ”

Zhao Zi said: "There is no other way, the party will go all out to attack Yang Wenguang's department." The right side of the military city is an important place, the army out of the city to attack Dou Shunqing, once the war is unfavorable, the consequences can not be bearable. The White Horse Supervision Military Division has no such concerns, as long as Yang Wenguang is captured, and the defenders of Helan Mountain are attacked by Dou Shunqing's department, it is the right way to win. Of course, if the party members are brave enough, they can also send out a section of the Helan Mountain garrison to contain Dou Shunqing, and the White Horse Supervisor Army Division to contain Yang Wenguang, and use the main force to attack our department in Hue Du. The party members can't be so stupid, right? ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's hard to say. We've won back-to-back games in recent months, and who knows what they've heard? The party generals were flustered, and it was normal for them to make any choice. In fact, according to what you said, the two sides are contained, and the main attack on Hue is exactly what I am most uncomfortable with. Most of the artillery in your army was given to Yang Wenguang, and the cavalry was strengthened, not a defensive configuration. ”

Zhao Zi said with a smile: "After arranging it like this, I naturally don't want the party to go all out to attack Hue Du's way of playing. However, isn't it because Jinglu believes that this way of playing is the party members themselves looking for death? How many troops does the party have to send to contain Yang Wenguang and Dou Shunqing? They dared to attack Hue with the main force, but they were afraid that the two troops and horses would be destroyed first, and we would close the door and fight the dogs. ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Yes, we are arranging the war according to normal people's ideas, but I'm afraid that it will be a madman." There is very little artillery in your unit, and even the infantry is equipped with horses, which is a rapid shock configuration. Suddenly, tens of thousands of people pounced, and then it was complicated. ”

Zhao Zi's artillery, except for some simple and easy-to-carry mortars, was given to Yang Wenguang. After the Black Mountain Supervision and Military Division was laid, there were countless more horses, and everyone in Zhao Zi's department now has horses, generals and important people even have two horses per person. The infantry is not cavalry when they have horses, and they cannot fight immediately, but they are ready to ride the whole army after the opportunity arises, and dismount to fight after arriving at the battlefield.

Such a configuration is for offense, and if the party goes crazy and attacks Hue with the main force, Zhao Zibu will inevitably suffer great losses. Of course, it was useless for the party to fight like that, and it was useless to destroy Zhao Zi's troops, and they were surrounded by the Song army by the Yellow River.

Five days later, in the official hall of the military city on the right side, buried incense and heat were in the center, the upper position was Ye Pu Duoge, and the lower position was the White Horse Supervisor who had just arrived to assassinate Shi Bao Zhong. As soon as Bao Zhong arrived, he was immediately summoned to the military city of the right chamber by Burying Xiangre to discuss the next battle.

asked about the hard work on the road of Baozhong, and buried the incense and said: "Last month, there were people in the Song realm who came to vote, which were collected by the turbidity wheel village and sent to the Quye River camp in the south. The Song people went to the turbidity wheel village to ask for it, but the guard Liu Sheng did not return it, which caused a war. Tens of thousands of Song troops suddenly surrounded the turbidity wheel village, and their artillery was sharp and captured the turbidity wheel village. The Song army thus took advantage of the situation to go south and destroyed more than 20 forts in Quyehe. There are 70,000 troops under the command of the Tibetan Prime Minister, and they are thousands of miles to help. I didn't want the main force of the Song army to suddenly arrive at the Tiande army, and within a few days broke through the city of Wulun Haicheng, and took the opportunity to go to Hue in the north. If Hue was occupied by the Song army, then hundreds of miles south of Montenegro would be all Song land. Go south again, break this city, and you can come to Xingqing Mansion in a few days. This battle must drive the Song army away, and it is better to retake the city of Ullahai. If you can't recapture the city of Wuthorn Sea, you must also drive the Song army north and wait for the prime minister's army to return. ”

The Fan people referred to by the party are generally the Khitan, Tatar, Tubo and Hexi Fan people, who do not consider themselves to be Fan. Sometimes, however, party members who are not in the territory are also called fanhu. One is not serious about this matter, and the other is to be called by the Song Dynasty.

Bao Zhong gave up his hand: "Ling Gong, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the Song army on the other side?" ”

"It is reported that there are only more than 30,000 people in the whole army. According to the information I received, this time it was Du Zhongxiao who was the commander of the Hequ Road, and the generals under him were Wu Song, the leader of the cavalry, Yang Wenguang, Zhao Zi, and Dou Shunqing, the leaders of the infantry army. Yao Shouxin, the head of the artillery, stayed in Dongshengzhou and did not come with the army. What we are most afraid of is that the artillery, infantry and cavalry of the Song army are not terrible. Yao Shouxin stayed in Dongsheng to prepare for the army of the prime minister, and it seems that the Song people also thought so. The 30,000 Song troops on the opposite side, although there are quite a few people, are actually far inferior to those in Tanglong Town. ”

Speaking of this, Bury Yixiang asked Bao Zhong: "How many soldiers and horses did the captain bring here?" ”

Bao Zhong handed over his hand: "The subordinate got the military order of Captain Yepu, and immediately gathered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and affiliated tribes, and did not dare to delay at all." Under the jurisdiction of Ding Zhuang over 15 years old and under 60 years old, all points are collected. There are more than 21,000 regular soldiers, nearly 40,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 60,000 soldiers and horses! ”

Bury Xiangre listened and nodded again and again: "Taiwei is really a loyal minister of the country!" With 60,000 of your troops, more than 50,000 soldiers and horses of Helan Mountain, plus 5,000 elite soldiers I bringed, our 120,000 army, and 30,000 people in the Song Military Region, why worry about it! ”

Bao Zhong got up: "Please order the public army, I am willing to be the vanguard, destroy the Song army in Hue, in order to fill the Yellow River!" ”

Bury Xiangre waved his hand again and again: "Taiwei sit down and speak." When the two armies are at war, they must not be reckless, and we will discuss them carefully. Since the Song army entered Tanglong Town, it has fought for thousands of miles, and there have been many battles, and it has never been defeated. Even though we are outnumbered, we should not underestimate them. ”

Yan Luo Zhong sat back in his seat and said, "Please order the announcement array!" ”

Bury Xiangre nodded: "The current formation of the Song army is an inverted glyph. Yang Wenguang camped ten miles away from the Yellow River, and Dou Shunqing went south three miles away from Hue, and the two armies formed a horn. Zhao Zi's department is in Huedu, I don't know what it means, I think there must be a plan. ”

Ye Pu Duoge said: "Also, Dou Shunqing broke through the military city five miles south of Hue Du, all of which were demolished, and he was not stationed there, I don't know what it means." ”

Bao Zhong said: "I think that the Song army is not much, and the two armies dare not be too far apart, so they withdraw and rely on Zhao Zi." ”

Ye Pu Duoge said: "What the captain said is also reasonable. However, Yang Wenguang in the north is ten miles away from Hue and camps, which is far away from Viet Zi, and it does not meet the requirements. Song Jun must have a plan in mind for such an arrangement. We must consider it again and again so as not to fall prey to their schemes. ”

Bao Zhong said: "The Song army is only 30,000 horses, and I have an army of 120,000, so why be afraid." Isn't it the artillery of the Song army that we are afraid of! Ling Gong said that the artillery leader Yao Shouxin stayed in Dongshengzhou and did not come with the army, and his power was greatly reduced! In my opinion, there is no need to be suspicious, since Yang Wenguang came out alone, then attack him and destroy one first! ”

Bury Xiangre said: "It's good for the captain to be eager to fight, but when you march and fight, you must plan carefully. Yang Wenguang's department camped ten miles away from Hue, which must have a deep meaning. He could have leaned close to Zhao Zi's subordinates, so why bother? ”

Bao Zhong said: "The Yellow River has crossed a hundred miles from the Yellow River to the Wolf Mountain, and the Song army did this, thinking that it was afraid that our army would bypass Hue and hit its flank. ”

Yepu Duoge said: "Wu Song, the leader of the cavalry of the Song army, led thousands of cavalry to gather in Wolf Mountain. If we want to go around the back, we are afraid that it will not be easy. ”

Hearing this, Bao Bao Zhong was a little irritable: "I'm also afraid, I'm afraid of that, how to fight?" Ling Gong, Tai Lieutenant, our 120,000 army was frightened by the 30,000 people of the Song army, this kind of thing has never happened! ”

Ye Pu Duoge said: "The Song army that can fight like this has never been. Be careful, it's always right. ”

Bury Xiangre said: "In this operation, the first is to ensure that the right side of the military city is worry-free. This is the gateway of Xingqing Mansion, where the safety of the country lies, and there is no room for the slightest mistake. The second is to drive the Song army out of Hue and to the north of the Wolf Pass. ”

Speaking of this, Bury Xiangre cleared his thoughts and said to the two: "Song Jun arranged, there are two unusual places. The first is why Yang Wenguang's department is far away from Hue, and it is clear that we should attack. The second is why Dou Shunqing's troops abandoned it after occupying the military city and retreated two miles to set up a formation. Song Jun's move must have a deep meaning, and we must not fall into its trap. According to my intentions, tomorrow I will order 10,000 soldiers and horses, go to the front of Dou Shunqing's department first, and try the combat strength of the Song army. Captain Yan walked together and got acquainted with Song Jun. If our army is too worried, the lieutenant will return to the army, and he will want to attack Yang Wenguang! ”

Bao Zhong gave up his hand: "Everything is under the orders of the commander!" ”

Lou Bobei, where Bao Zhong is located, is relatively remote, and in the middle of the desert, near the salt pond, there is not much news of the Song army. The tribes in the desert lived a hard life and were more warlike, and the 120,000-strong army was 30,000 against the Song army.

No matter how it is arranged, as long as the fight starts, there will be no more disputes between the false and loyal people. The White Horse Supervision Military Division sent 60,000 troops, and all of them were Ding Zhuang, and the place was poor, and the military rations brought were not much, how could they be consumed here for a long time.

Seeing that the other two no longer had any objections, he buried Xiangre and said, "Okay, tomorrow I will order 10,000 soldiers and horses and go out of the city to camp." - Don't forget the lesson of the Khitan Emperor, don't get too close to the Song army, and camp in their abandoned military city. ”
