Chapter 1741 The first battle(1/2)
Zhao Shu, dressed in military uniform, left the palace.
Army gathered outside the city.
The infantry had already set out with the baggage, and the rest were all cavalry.
More than tens of thousands of cavalry were waiting in line. This was the elite force of the Song Dynasty. If you set off today, you will reappear the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Zhao Shu came with all the officials.
In front of the array, the generals looked excited.
"Long live!"
When they saw Zhao Shu, the cavalry shouted, with a rainbow of momentum.
"I will go to Daming Mansion to take charge later, waiting for good news for you, and set off."
"Long live!"
The cavalry began to set off.
Chen An gave in and gave up his hand.
The scale of cavalry in the Song Dynasty was constantly expanding, and the Wansheng Army became the first batch of adapted cavalry.
Zhe Kexing nodded and then left.
When Chen An returned home, the whole family was waiting for him.
"I won't leave today."
Chen An smiled and picked up the edamame, and freed up his hand to touch the top of Taro's head.
Yang Zhuoxue muttered, "My mother has been here before, saying that this battle is probably going to be a shocking battle. Guoguo went to Daxiangguo Temple to ask you for protection. I invited a god to worship it at home, and at least burn incense and pray every day..."
Guoguo smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, brother is amazing! He turned around and captured Youzhou City, so we can still go and play."
"Well, there are still some good places in Youzhou."
According to the place of Youzhou, it is the capital of later generations. Chen'an has also been there, but the natural landscape is not good.
The days before the expedition were not calm. Fu Bi was in charge of the Northern Expedition and convened twice in two days to discuss matters, which made Chen An very headache.
On the last night, Wang Rong, Su Shi and others came.
Zhao Xu also sneaked out of the palace quietly.
"Didn't you let you reign?
Everyone grabbed him and sucked him.
"It will take several days for the official family to set out."
Zhao Shu will set out behind Shen An and others and go straight to Daming Mansion.
Wang Rong said regretfully: "I also want to go and see the army's conquest, but the academy cannot ignore it!"
"Just let Anbei kill a few more." Su Shi was the most free and easy, and he just raised his glass to do it.
Zhao Xu suddenly whispered: "The official family has been going to whisper to the ancestor tablets these days, and I feel a little nervous."
Well!
Chen An also felt panicked when he thought about the scene.
You said you just want to talk to your ancestors if you have nothing to do. Are your ancestors tired?
Chen An was very unconscious of this hobby of the official family.
When he went to find his wife drunk, he found that her wife was kneeling and nagging in front of the statue of God, and she felt her scalp numb.
...
Xiongzhou in early spring has become a military camp.
"Everything out!"
"Everyone goes out, the army camps outside, and store supplies in the city!"
Feng Jing stood in front of the state yamen and shouted at the generals at the top of his lungs.
"But brothers are cold!"
Some are grief and angry, while others are innocent.
Feng Jing felt the temperature for a moment and cursed: "Where is it cold? Where is it cold?"
"Deputy Envoy Feng, it's very cold! The brothers are all burning."
"Deputy Envoy Feng, there are tents outside the city. You go and have a look, it's so cold!"
Feng Jing was so anxious that he was struck by a group of generals that he had no choice but to do anything.
"The dragon map is here."
There was a dense sound of horse hooves outside, and later Chen An came with a team of rural soldiers.
Seeing the generals gathered in front of the state yamen, Chen An asked, "What's the matter?"
He had just taken his people to patrol the Jiehe River. A scout from the Liao army was peeping on the other side. After seeing him, he pointed and was dispersed by a wave of crossbow arrows.
The generals said embarrassedly: "Nothing is wrong!"
Chen An glanced at Feng Jing, and Feng Jing shook his head, "Nothing happened."
He now understood that he had been run by these old fried dough sticks just now.
"Where is the rich person?"
Chen An asked while walking.
“It’s inside.”
Fu Bi looked like a gentleman who was angry with a student at this moment, grabbing his hair and preparing to explode.
"Where have you gone in Anbei?" Fu Bi sighed: "A large army moves, and all kinds of affairs are complicated, which makes me feel a headache!"
"I led a military provocate all day long, and I was so busy." Chen An couldn't help feeling relieved when he saw a bubble in the corner of Fu Bi's mouth.
The day before yesterday, Fu Bi was joking with him, saying that he was very good and he was very good at eating.
Oh! Isn’t this going to get angry!
“Get the map.”
Chen An moved the stool and leaned against the table.
There are only him in the room, Fu Bi and Feng Jing, who are you trying to instruct these words?
Feng Jing frowned, Fu Bi coughed dryly, signaling him to work quickly.
So the Deputy Envoy of Privy Councillor personally sent the map, and Chen An began to give advice to the country.
"I looked around the Jiehe River before and found the Liao army, but it was just a sporadic scout, which shows that I was prepared."
Chen An pointed to Zhuozhou and said, "Xincheng, Fanyang, that is, Zhuozhou, I never thought of anything else, just hit it all the way."
"No surprise soldiers?" Fu Bi remembered the surprise of Chen An's use of troops when he attacked Xixia last time, and couldn't help but be curious, "The last time you attacked Xixia, your use of troops was said to be like lightning, so why did you have to hit him step by step?"
"That's the Western thief." Chen An took a sip of tea, "Western thief depends on one breath to hold on, so we should be as fast as wind and thunder, and fight with lightning speed to disperse their energy. But the Liao people are different. They are not just a energy, they have background and long experience in fighting. It is unrealistic to defeat them. Whoever thinks like this will definitely suffer in the end."
Fu Bi was a little regretful. In his opinion, how great would it be if Chen An could replicate the victory of the northwest expedition?
"My husband!"
An official came outside with a document in his hand.
"The secret spies in the Imperial City have reported secretly."
"Bring it." Fu Bi took the secret report, carefully verified the seal, and then opened it.
"Youzhou City is blocked."
Fu Bi was a little disappointed, "The Liao army is ready."
"How could the army hide its traces?"
Chen An took a sip of tea and said, "It's time to attack tomorrow, Fu Xiang."
Fu Bi's breathing tightened and lay on the table looking at the map, "Anbei, the Liao army is ready, and they can only fight head-on throughout the journey. Are you sure?"
Feng Jing was also a little nervous, "This is a battle of scattered nations. The Liao army is on high alert throughout the road, so our army can only attack all the way, and we have no support to Youzhou City. If the enemy comes to attack, our army can only defend in the field..."
"A battle to swell the country!"
Chen An said, "I have confidence!"
Fu Bi looked up, "Anbei..."
He was the commander of the army, so he could only squat in Xiongzhou City and wait for news, and coordinated the supplies and reinforcements in the center. After Chen An captured Fanyang City and had a place to support him, he could set out to catch up with the army and coordinate the attack on Nanjing Road.
He felt his heart beating like thunder, and that sense of mission drove him to say, "This battle cannot be defeated!"
"I won't lose."
To be continued...
