The shackles of the first thousand three hundred and six chapters of Yang Huaiyu
The Liao Dynasty's Zhongjing Road was under great pressure. The trajectory of this war was ultimately deviated from the speculation of any side. The Song Dynasty's original battle on the Eastern Front was completely disrupted and began to advance westward. For the current Song army, their target was no longer the Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, but the Dading Prefecture in Zhongjing!
This sudden change made the soldiers of the Song Dynasty confused for a while, but also caught the Liao people off guard. The Song army was determined to implement the military orders, and the commander in the army quickly understood Zhao Zhen's intentions.
As Zhao Zhen’s confidant, Peng Qi followed Zhao Zhen for many years and never said that he had been through life and death. As a general, he not only had to be loyal to the point of being outstanding, but more importantly, he understood the emperor’s intentions. This is also why Zhao Zhen was most comfortable to lead the army with Peng Qi.
Otherwise, he, a small person who came from the three guards of the prince, could he stay in the Privy Council?
Only Yang Huaiyu can see this clearly in the army. He is now the commander of the second army of Beiwei Tabai. He has led his army through Wuzhishan toward Tanzhou, maintaining a speed that is neither fast nor slow along the way, and paying attention to the battle situation around him...
The attack on the Liao Dynasty, Zhongjing Road, was not as simple as it seemed. The reason why the battle on the Eastern Front was advanced so smoothly was because the Liao people were deceived by the Song Dynasty.
In the eyes of the Liao people, the Song people must have seized Zhongjing Road with such a big disturbance. Moreover, the Song Dynasty was so likely to go north on the east road. Wouldn't it be that going up to Liaoyang Prefecture?
So the Liao people subjectively believed that the goal of the Song Dynasty was Dading Prefecture, so naturally they did not attach much importance to the prefectures on the eastern front. The more people of the Song people made progress, the better!
The more advances, the longer the supply line. During this period, the Liao Dynasty adopted the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. Although the Song army has been moving northward, it will eventually advance toward Zhongjing Road.
Most generals of the Liao army thought that the Song people would attack Zhongjing Road. There was no surprise that the Song people began to be invaded by a large army, but they really didn't know why the Song army had to attack first and then turn west.
Only the senior generals of the Liao Dynasty were shocked by the scene in front of him. While panicked, they hurriedly reported to the capital. The Song people followed the river and attacked Zhongjing Road!
When Xiao Hui and Zhang Jian saw the memorial, they looked at Empress Xiao in surprise. Their faces were extremely ugly. They felt as if they were being put on by the Song people. The Song army rushed straight into Zhongjing Road, which was completely different from their previous plans. At this time, some of the elite troops of the Great Liao were in Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo!
This is a trap set by Xiao Tali against Zhao Zhen's Northern Expedition. Since the Song Dynasty hoped that the Liao Dynasty would think that this Northern Expedition was to seize the Zhongjing Dao, then it would be a trick. Xiao Tali cleverly arranged everything and actively rescued the siege of Zhongjing Dao, which made the Song people mistakenly think that the Liao people were really competing with the Song people in Zhongjing Dao. However, the facts proved that the Liao people's acting skills were a bit clumsy and they were also anxious.
Yelu Pei used all the elite troops in his hands to fight against 200,000 to 80,000 people. Such unscrupulous use of troops against the Song Dynasty finally made Liu Zhen and Zhang Lingxing discover the flaws.
After the 200,000 people fought against the Song Dynasty one after another, there were only about 100,000 people left, including many wounded soldiers. When the Qianniu Guards of the Song army arrived, the rumbling artillery fire destroyed the fighting will of the Khitans. Yelu Pei withdrew the elite troops in his hands to Dading Prefecture in Zhongjing.
At the last moment, this general who made a foolish mistake finally stopped his horse and saved 100,000 elite soldiers for the Liao Dynasty. With a little hesitation, the three armies of the Song Dynasty would block Xinghua City in Bei'anzhou into airtightness, and Yelu Pei had no other way out except to fight to the death.
This battle was to wipe out all the elites left in Bei'anzhou, but Yelu Pei's "escape at the last stage" allowed them to survive. Ma Ling and Liu Zhen looked at each other and smiled bitterly, looking at the smoke and dust left by the Liao soldiers who left the city.
Li Shun, the general of Qianniu Guard, had already commanded the army to pack up and prepare to continue to march north. He came to support Wu Lie Army and Wu Wei Army, but he did not want to obey Liu Zhen and Ma Ling. Before the march, he had an offensive plan from the Privy Council.
Like Wu Lie Army, their ultimate goal is to gather in Dading Prefecture. Compared with the Eastern Route Army, the Western Route Army will be faster, but on the battlefield of Zhongjing Road, the orders of Peng Qi, the commander of the Eastern Route Army should be respected.
Nowadays, almost all the elites of the Song Dynasty were in the Zhongjing Road. The powerful force caused the Liao army to retreat and gather in the direction of Dading Prefecture. This is a common tactic used by the Liao people. If they lose, they would gather in the largest prefecture to defend and counterattack.
Faced with the torrent of Song Dynasty, the small forces of the Liao army were extremely difficult to resist, which forced them to move towards Dading Prefecture to find reinforcements. The speed of the upper four armies was amazing. After receiving Peng Qi's military order, they moved westward to advance. Almost all the coastal areas along the eastern line were occupied by the Song army, and the largest Yongle City was no exception.
Wang Gui and Liu Ping attacked Yongle City almost at the same time. Finally, under the cover of artillery fire and explosives, the largest and most powerful city on the eastern front was taken down by the Song army. Their results were evenly matched and matched. Peng Qi encouraged the two of them at this time.
Peng Qi's methods were quite good. First, they let the two armies compete with each other. The migration of Mincheng and Laibin City was the beginning of the competition between the two, and then they cooperated with each other. During the cooperation, both sides began to understand each other's abilities more and more. Until outside Yongle City, Liu Ping and Wang Gui finally let go of their past grudges.
As the head coach, Peng Qi rarely used his personal ability and made Yang Huaiyu, who led the White Army in Beiwei, look at him with admiration. Originally, in his opinion, Peng Qi was only able to reach the level of today by relying on the holy family of the official family. If it weren't for the Third Guard of the Crown Prince, he would have been an unknown person and had disappeared without a trace in front of many talents. But now it seems that Peng Qi's methods are quite good.
Yang Huaiyu also felt more and more that he could not underestimate the people around the Guan family. He had never been included in the official lineage. Even Di Qing had become the official family's confidant, but although he was known as the commander of the front office of the Palace, he was still separated by a layer of things.
In name, he was Peng Qi's deputy, leading the Beiwei Tabai Army with outstanding combat power, but he did not participate in the attack after all. Looking at the clouds in the south, Yang Huaiyu sighed. Now he knew his problem, and he had always divided his destination into the generals rather than the official family.
Peng Qi was loyal and loyal, Zhao Li was brave and loyal. Even the nameless Li Jiu had nothing outstanding, but his loyalty to the official family was nothing to say, so he became the chief of the personal guard department.
Yang Huaiyu understood that if he wanted to go further, he had to give up some inherent things, even the things brought by his bloodline. The gate of the gate had actually disappeared. Although there was still this statement now, look at the gate of the gate of the current gate, it was completely focused on the business practices!
What kind of generals who deal with money all day long are they?
