"What does the master think about this battle?" All this was not only seen by the lookout on the hot air balloon, but Yeluhonki himself also knew it. His way of dealing with it was very elegant, and after dawn, he invited the monks to make offerings to the royal family, first praying for the blessings of the soldiers, and then asking the monks for their opinions in private.

Literate people, no matter how much they believe in Buddhism, it is no wonder that the emperor has not been very successful, and does not have any of the elements to become a political leader, and it is a great luck that Yelu Yixin did not kill him together.

The senior monks really talked not about providence, but about their own meaning, or the collective opinion of the Khitan nobles, and they didn't want to fight anymore. The defenders in the city are not only tough but also evil, Nanjing Dao was originally a place for the Han people in Youzhou, and there is not much vital interest related to the Khitan nobles.

For the land of the Han people, the Khitan Erlang worked hard, and he had to return it to the Han people to get it back, which was not in line with the rules of the grassland at all. We don't care how you become the emperor, but we can't infringe on everyone's interests, otherwise we will change to someone who can benefit everyone to sit in this position.

Yelu Hongji is not very good at governing the country, and he is not very good at leading troops to fight, but he is not stupid, and the meaning of the monk understands, and the meaning behind the meaning is also understood.

What to do? Yelu Hongji didn't let go of this high monk who led people to spread the word, you can also do something serious, go to the Song court to negotiate on my behalf and see if you can get some face back from the negotiation table. It's also a royal driver's personal expedition, and it's even more shameless to go back like this.

This side is preparing for the negotiation of the envoys, and the other side will continue to attack the city, and the intensity cannot be maintained as it was the previous day, more like coping. Toss for more than an hour in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, and both sides punch out and get off work.

Hong Tao is more diligent, and he often works extra night shifts. However, the Liao army ate a trench and grew wise, and concentrated all the prisoners in a few large camps with plague and sent special guards to guard them, and it was impossible to poison them casually.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, on November 18, Xijin Mansion was captured for a whole month, and Yuanfeng's Northern Expedition was also carried out for a month.

Originally, the siege of the city was the easiest thing in the eyes of the new army, but it became a problem in the hands of the forbidden army, and Gu'an City was besieged for more than half a month and was not defeated. In addition to the Liao army's continuous sending of troops to support and harass the forbidden army's siege, the lack of suitable siege methods is also an Achilles' heel.

Gu'an City can not be captured, the Northern Song Dynasty forbidden army can not rest assured and boldly cross the Wuding River to the north, in case the front of the war is unfavorable, Gu'an Bridge is cut off again, the past will be as much as it will be over.

Ancicheng was captured by Zhang Ji and Li Xian, but he still couldn't go north immediately, and the bridge was burned by the defenders. In addition, they had too few cavalry in their hands, so they could only wait for Wang Shao to lead the team from Gu'an while repairing the bridge, and then began to carefully cross the Wuding River.

"Twelve! Why are you here, your lord! "As soon as he crossed the river with a large group of cavalry, he spotted a motley army of the Song people, including a child wearing camouflage uniforms who claimed to be a messenger of the new army.

Wang Shao recognized him as soon as he met, and then his heart sank. Wang Xu's adopted son ran back alone, and he was still so embarrassed, could it be said that the new army was defeated?

"My family is still in Xijin Mansion, and the Emperor of Liao is besieging the city with more than 100,000 troops, and my lord asked me to come out and bring you a letter!"

Wang Twelve flew out for ten days, but God didn't give it a hand, the wind direction turned westward, and the hot air balloon flew more and more crookedly, and he could only find a place to land if he wanted to get lost. Dig a pit and hide the hot air balloon, and then walk east with your weapon, a map and a compass, hoping to meet the Song army.

Song Jun didn't run into it, but he ran into Wang Hao's pirate group. This is no longer ordinary bold, after Miao Kui defeated the Liao army, he led the pirate group down the post road to chase and kill the rout, cut off people's heads, capture prisoners, and loot nearby villages and towns by the way, and was very busy.

However, in four or five days, seven or eight large sea ships were filled. Looking at the group of captives who were escorted onto the ship, Wang Hao was really reluctant to leave, and several other maritime merchants were also virtuous, full of money, and it was too much of a loss to catch only one handful.

After a few discussions, they simply let the fully loaded ships go back first, and told the families to send more ships and men, while they continued to expand the raid with the pirate group. As for what to do in case the Liao army comes? Isn't there still Huangzhou, Liangzhou, and Suzhou, it's a big deal to get on the ship and escape.

There are really no large forces of the Liao army, all of them are going to protect their emperor, even if it is a vigilant force, it will not go beyond a hundred miles. In this area, Wang Hao's pirate group can walk sideways, and no one can take care of it, it can really be said that there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to dominate the overlord.

Wang Twelve's hot air balloon was discovered by the pirate group before it landed, that thing is familiar, others don't know Wang Hao must know. I took someone to take a look, and sure enough, the little general was back, and there were important military affairs.

To say that Wang Hao is still very patriotic, it can also be said that he loves the emperor very much, as soon as he heard that Wang Twelve was going to find Wang Shao, the pirate group stopped doing it, and turned into a post pawn again, escorting Wang Twelve all the way to Anci.

"No wonder the reinforcements from Gu'an came batch after batch, it turned out to be for their emperor to cut off! You wait to rest first, and after the official and Master Zhang have discussed, they will go north immediately, and they will never leave your family alone, and maybe you can give the Emperor of Liao a ruthless blow! ”

Wang Shao didn't know what the battle situation was north of the Wuding River, but with the two handwritten letters brought by Wang Twelve, he could finally have a general understanding, and it was convenient to make the next plan.

This old man is also a ruthless man, and he actually hit the emperor of Liao with his idea. As long as the Liao Emperor's army can be defeated, the war in other parts of Nanjing Province will naturally end, and the siege of the new army will be lifted.

However, he only has 15,000 cavalry troops in his hands, and Emperor Liao must also know the news of the loss of Ancicheng, and will immediately make corresponding arrangements, and there is little chance of sneaking attack from behind. If you want to kill with one blow, you must fight for more troops, and you have to find a way to notify Wang Shu to come and go together.

After Zhang Ji and Li Xian saw the two handwritten letters, especially the handwritten letter of the sixth prince Zhao Maid, they were also convinced of the Liao Emperor's personal conquest.

As soon as the three main generals discussed, they immediately sent people back to Bazhou to transfer the defenders to the north to occupy Anci City to keep the only way to retreat, and then led their respective 30,000 foot soldiers to cross the river immediately and follow Wang Shao's cavalry to the north.

It was a risky move, and he only brought seven days' worth of food and grass to speed up the march, and if the attack was blocked, it would still be a disastrous defeat. However, Zhang Wei and Li Xian didn't have a word this time, especially Li Xian, it doesn't matter if he saves Wang Shu or not, it's best not to save him, but Zhao Maid must be saved, no matter how dangerous it is, it can't be delayed.

"There will be a way to inform the adults to know, I just rushed out with it, as long as this thing is in hand, the adults can see it ten miles away!" As soon as he heard that Wang Shao was going north to rescue, Wang Twelve forgot all the words that Hong Tao had confessed, and the Daimyo's Mansion did not go, so he had to go with Wang Shao.

Wang Shao really didn't dare to ignore this child's suggestion, Wang Shu raised a lot of children, and all of them were not given in vain. Not to mention that the child is not given in vain, even the businessman who does business with Wang Shu is so powerful, he spontaneously formed a small army, and crossed more than a hundred miles on the battlefield, this courage may not even be comparable to the forbidden army.

It's just that the horses of this small army are quite intriguing, and the military horses of the Liao army are all in the water, and Wang Shao is all in a bad mood. If it weren't for Wang Xu's face, he would have the heart to grab it and use it himself.

Wang Hao naturally wouldn't tell the story of killing and robbing behind the ass of the new army, but only admitted that he followed the sea ship to send supplies to the new army, and was ordered to meet at the mouth of the Haihe River, and inadvertently ran into Wang Twelve.

"The villain is also a Song person, the generals contribute to the country and fight in the front, we are not skilled in martial arts, and we still do it when the people escort the little general!" Hearing that Wang Twelfth was going back, Wang Hao immediately became a patriotic businessman again with a roll of his eyes, patting his chest and going north with the army to do his part.

He has seen it through, and the closer he gets to the battlefield, the bigger the profit. In the past, I didn't dare to go too far ahead, but now I have tens of thousands of troops to accompany me, so what are you waiting for? I have to go while crying and shouting!

Another thing that made him full of confidence was that he found wooden boxes from Weiqiao Town in Zhang Ji and Li Xianjun, a lot! This thing is all too familiar, a hornet's nest and a swarm of bees. Presumably, the forbidden army will not be too cowardly with the sharp weapon of the horse, this risk is worth taking!

Wang Hao bet on the right bet again this time, in the eyes of outsiders, it is luck, but in fact, it is more about insight and courage. If he hadn't seen the power of the new army on Ganliang Road, and had never been used to being a victor, where would he have the confidence.

Ancicheng is more than 100 miles away from Xijin Mansion and closer to the camp of the Liao army. When he heard that Anci had been lost, Yelu Hongji immediately sent 20,000 tribal troops to the south, thirty miles to the south, and stationed on the west side of the Gaoliang River to stand guard.

As a result, he was meeting with the forbidden army in the north, facing the menacing Liao army, Wang Shao did not hesitate to turn around and run, the Liao army naturally refused to let go, 20,000 against more than 10,000, or a cavalry field battle, when were the Khitans afraid of the Song people? It must be unbearable.

But before he could run five miles, he found that the enemy not only had more than 10,000 cavalry, but also more foot soldiers. At this time, the Liao army can't leave if it wants to, and it can't let this Song army go north to barrel its own emperor's ass, no matter whether the troops are superior or not, they have to fight.

In fact, the Liao army didn't take this Song army in their eyes, they didn't look at it like the somewhat evil Song army in Xijin Mansion, the ordinary forbidden army was really nothing to fear, not only could they not retreat, but they had to take the initiative to attack!

But as soon as he saw the Liao army, he was stunned, the Song army not only had many foot soldiers, but also powerful bows and crossbows, and the cavalry and archery could not take advantage of it at all, and they suffered a loss. In the face of the infantry in the array, if the formation is not dispersed, the cavalry with a small number of cavalry rushing forward is basically sent to death.

What if you can't do it? There is a second trick, withdraw! Let the Song army pursue by retreating, as long as the formation of the foot soldiers moves, it is easy to disperse, and there is still a chance to seize the opportunity to counterattack.

But this trick is not easy to use, this forbidden cavalry is too hateful, you just want to counter-charge it will drill out to make trouble, do not fight head-on light stirred, and wait to drive it away and take a look again, the flaws of the forbidden army foot soldiers are all gone.
