Chinese In the army, many people looked at Lotte with envious eyes. Except for Tong Guan, who is the commander-in-chief of the six-way side affairs, on the ground in the northwest, he can stand side by side with the marshal Liu Fa and talk casually, except for the rest of the five-way festival to observe the festival, there is really no one who has this qualification, and Lotte is the only person with this qualification except for the six people, and he is also a young man.

His eyes swept over his subordinates, and Liu Fa smiled bitterly: "Does the old man have a choice?" ”

The sigh came from his mouth involuntarily, Liu Fa knew very well in his heart, he was defeated in Tong'an City and Gai Zhuwei one after another, and the elite under his command were almost lost, and many soldiers and men were lost, and Huangzhou did not know how many orphans and widows were added, if this time it was like this......

Seeing that Liu Fa Buyan's heart was even more worried, Lotte continued: "Listening to the report of the Tanma, this time Brother Cha has been prepared for a long time, not only to wait for work in Tong'an City, but also to set up a heavy ambush on the road to Tong'an of the Zhenwu Army!" ”

Seeing the hesitation in Liu Fa's eyes, Lotte took the opportunity to say: "Since Tong'an is not easy to attack, it is better for the marshal not to take Tong'an City and take Gai Zhuwei directly!" ”

"Don't take Tong'an, go straight to Gaizhu City?" Liu Fa's eyes were surprised, and then he was even more hesitant.

"This usurpation of the military system ......" Liu Fa heard this, and the more worried he looked, he said again: "Let the old man think about it!" ”

Just when Liu Fa hesitated, Lotte said again: "The news of the marshal's return to Jingyuan Road can be said that after the defeat of Zhenwu, the Xia thief destroyed all the passes from Zhenwu to Tong'an when he retreated, in order to prevent our army from taking advantage of the victory to chase Nannanhai. ”

Liu Fa in the hesitation is very clear about the situation he has encountered, but he violated the regulations of the Great Song Dynasty army, even if he wins the battle, he is afraid that he will be dealt with.

In addition, the output of gunpowder in the Huangzhou Ordnance Supervision could not keep up with the demand, and if the sergeants of the army took a short rest after the capture of Gaizhu City, it could be used as a buffer for a period of time, and the shortage of gunpowder could be alleviated. ”

When the words fell, Liu Fa was about to give an order, but was stopped by Lotte and said: "Dashuai, this trip should be a confidential matter, and besides, there are inevitably no Western Xia detectives outside the city, and Xia Guan thinks that it is best to choose the army at night." ”

After Liu Fa passed the order, Lotte lowered his voice and said: "Liu Guanbu attacked Gai Zhuwei, and his subordinates think there is still something to do!" ”

Before Lotte could speak, Jiao Anjie, Yang Weizhong, Qu Jin and others rode over and bowed their hands and said: "Dashuai, seeing that the army is about to be opened, why did he suddenly announce the disbandment and rest, not only the last general was puzzled, but even the soldiers under the last general also didn't understand, and they asked the last man to ask the big marshal in the future!" ”

That's what he said, and that's what he did in action, Lotte deliberately sent more than 1,000 sergeants and people to Hulu Pass to dredge the road blocked by rocks, but it was much slower in speed.

The Zhenwu army is located slightly south west of Tong'ancheng, sixty miles away from Tong'an City; Tong'an City is in the north-northwest direction of Gaizhuwei, seventy miles away from Gaizhuwei; Geographically, the Zhenwu army is almost in the northwest direction of Gaizhuwei, and the distance between the two cities is a hundred miles.

Not long after leaving the city, Yang Weizhong urged the horse to come to Liu Fa's chariot and said: "Dashuai, the direction of this march is wrong, Tong'an City is in the east, how can Dashuai travel to the southeast?" ”

After the army left the city, the gate of Zhen'an City was closed, so as not to report the actions of the Song army to the Western Xia, and the more than 1,000 soldiers who were previously scattered by Liu Fa on the grounds of clearing the passage were guarding the intersections leading to the Western Xia to prevent Western Xia spies from transmitting the news to the Xia realm.

On the march, only the crash of the soldiers' armor and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard. Zhenwu army in a battle, captured a lot of horses, the Song army can even be said to be a shotgun for artillery, the original foot soldiers are all made cavalry, the northwest people are fierce, there are few people who can't ride horses, some of the soldiers with riding skills are directly trained as iron harriers.

For a hundred miles, it would take at least one day and one night to walk with infantry, but it would take only six hours to replace it with cavalry and rest time on the way.

As soon as the order was handed down, Jiao Anjie, Yang Weizhong and others came forward and bowed: "Great marshal, here Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army Division to the middle of the two cities of Gai Zhuwei, if the Xia thief scout knows, our army will inevitably fall into the danger of being attacked by the soldiers of the two cities, and ...... by then."

Jiao Anjie has been under Liu Fa's command for many years, and after a little thought, his heart suddenly dawned, and he said with admiration on his face: "The marshal originally wanted to encircle the point to send reinforcements, cut off Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division's reinforcements to Gai Zhucheng, and take the opportunity to defeat the living forces of Western Xia. ”

"This ploy is not what Ben Shuai remembered!" Liu Fa shook his head, and turned his gaze to Lotte who was sitting on the side as he spoke: "This plan was thought of by Lord Le!" ”

Before Liu Fa could speak, Lotte on the side said: "The generals also know that there are not more than 16,000 people under Liu Shuai's command, but Captain Tong asked the marshal to attack Tong'an, which had been prepared and heavily guarded, what is the difference between this and letting me wait to send him to death, not to mention the previous defeat of Tong'an."

Hearing what Lotte said, the generals under Liu Fa's command were also angry, but they also knew the truth in Lotte's voice.

At this moment, all the generals realized the seriousness of the matter, and for the sake of the lives of the sergeants and soldiers, Liu Fa's move was to violate the rules and even take the risk of losing his head.

"I'll fight to kill the enemy!"

……

Staring at the map in front of him, Liu Fa's face was solemn: "Gai Zhuwei is at the forefront of Song Xia, and it is the southern gateway of the Xia thief, so the Xia thief is even more heavily guarded, it is really not so attacked, this handsome only looks at He Guanbu to fight for some energy, don't let Gai Zhuwei even need to ask for help!" ”

At noon, the scouts who had been scattered had returned, and He Guanbu had already approached Gaizhu City and was launching a fierce attack, and the Western Xia generals stationed in Gaizhuwei were busy sending letters to Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army Division who sent people to the rear for help.
