Chapter 66 Advance to the battlefield

An error occurred while processing s private files

On the morning of the 25th, two hours of the lunar calendar, killing the tiger's mouth...~~.~~

The blue sky is high and far, and the faint clouds leisurely look down at the lush mountains in the air, and the world seems very quiet.

Suddenly, the fierce sound of war drums suddenly sounded from the mountains, and the mountains responded, shaking the earth. The army lined up in neat square formations, spreading forward like long snakes. The colorful battle flags danced wildly in the wind, and the bright armored guards emitted dazzling light under the reflection of the sun. The fully armed soldiers looked solemn and quietly waited for the order to set off.

Li Hu stood on the city tower, looking at the blue sky, with a calm expression.

Yuanye stood behind him, holding the map, but his eyes looked at the back of the gate. The back of the gate had several miles of battalion, with tents and crowds everywhere. The people were driving carriages or carrying their backs on their backs, transporting weapons. The strong men of the food shooting army stood in line and waited for the front line to start, and they transported weapons to the front line.

The weapons of the Hedong aid were sent to the battlefield of Killing Hukou. The cost of the 200,000 army was very shocking, and the Hulie Mansion was carrying a heavy burden. The assistance of the Song Dynasty was paid, and every grain of food and every long arrow was calculated. In the future, the Hulie Mansion would have to pay off its debts for a long time. It is obvious that the Song Dynasty did this to curb Li Hu's development. They were justified, but the Hulie Mansion was very angry. Li Hu had already taken the Jiuzhou behind the mountain to join the Song Dynasty.

The Fiery Army guarded the territory for the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty should not take advantage of the situation at this time, but no matter how angry it is, they have to accept the conditions for assistance from the Song Dynasty. To be honest, the two sides have not established trust so far. Li Hu defected to the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty accepted Li Hu, both out of their respective interests and needs. In the case of a win-win situation, the two sides must cooperate. But cooperation is limited, and the Song Dynasty will not be a problem of raising tigers.

Yuanye thought of the huge debt, frowned and worried. Even if this battle could achieve the predetermined goal, the loss of troops and financial expenses were extremely astonishing. After Li Hu's strength was greatly damaged, it would be difficult to recover in the short term. The Liao, Xia and Jin dynasties in the north continued to advance. The Song Dynasty in the south would continue to curb and survive.

Yuanye turned his eyes to Li Hu. Li Hu hugged his arms, his body was tall, and a strong sense of confidence was revealed throughout his body. This confidence was very contagious and could allow the people around him to absorb strength and see hope. Whenever Yuanye was in despair, as long as he saw Li Hu, his frustration would immediately disappear. As long as he did not give up, he would always find the way to success.

Yuwen Xuzhong and Liu were a little nervous. This was the first time these two people went to the battlefield. Although they didn't have to fight on the front line, they were still a little suffocated when standing on the pass and experiencing the solemn atmosphere on the battlefield.

Yue Fei went to the battlefield and killed people, no longer breathing like the first time, but this was a magnificent battle, a battle that determined the fate of the mountain behind hundreds of thousands of people. This exciting war was about to begin. When Yue Fei thought of the honor of participating in such a magnificent battle, he was still so excited that he could not breathe.

On the valley in front of the pass, in the mountains behind the pass, scouts, horses, commanders... they galloped and galloped back and forth. The sudden sound of hooves and eager shouts were like the sound of fighting drums, constantly knocking on people's fragile heartstrings.

Yuanye reported to Li Hu.

"The Jin army is forming an array outside the pass."

"Yelu Mage led the Liao army to form an array under Tangzi Mountain."

"Li Liangfu's Xia army has finished arraying and is moving towards the right wing of the battlefield."

"Wang Yao reported that the Jinglei Army has completed the attack preparations in Dabao Mountain and can be engaged in the battle at any time."

"Zhe Kecun reported that the four generals from Hedong have entered the four attack positions in Tangzi Mountain."

"Song Jiang from Liangshan Army has arrived at the valley of Tangzi Mountain."

"Zhejia Army arrived at the designated location and was waiting for the attack order."

"Gao Baolong and Li Jinlaishu, the Bohai Army and the Thunder Army resisted the Broken Tiger Fort at noon today."

Li Hu turned around slowly, frowned and thought for a moment. Yuanye hurriedly opened the map. Li Hu went to the map and took a look. "Tell Baoshuai, Li Shuai. Speed ​​up the advancement, and be sure to meet with the Zhe Family Army today in Shen Shichu and launch an attack before dusk."

"The beginning of Youshi?" Yuanye asked while rolling up the map.

"Don't set a specific attack time for them." Li Hu said. "Just wait until our army retreats, the Jin army follows and pursues, and immediately launches an attack, drives all the Jin army into the pass, blocks the Jin army's retreat, and completes the encirclement."

Yuanye nodded and immediately wrote an order.

Yuwen Xuzhong hesitated for a long time and walked to Li Hu, "Master, the Jin army has a force of about 100,000. If we do not have more than five times the force of the land, it is not appropriate to engage in encirclement and annihilation operations."

"Your Majesty, although the terrain here is beneficial to us, in terms of force, it does not have the conditions to encircle and annihilate the Jin army." Liu also advised, "You have fought with the Jin army and know the strength of the Jin army. If this battle is both defeated, it will be very unfavorable to the later battle."

Li Hu pretended to be pondering and remained silent.

He never told Yuwen Xuzhong and Liu how to fight this battle, nor did he tell Yelu Ma Ge and Li Liangfu. This joint battle between the Song, Liao, Xia and Han sides was actually very dangerous because there was a lack of trust between the four parties. If one party leaked the secret or deliberately attacked on the battlefield, the battle would be defeated. So Li Hu told Yelu Ma Ge and Li Liangfu that he had a plan, and what he told Yuwen Xuzhong and Liu that he had another plan, and both of these plans were part of the final plan.

Li Hu's last sentence just now revealed his final plan. It turned out that Li Hu was not going to severely damage the Jin army, but to encircle and annihilate the Jin army. He also transferred reinforcements from the Zhenchuan Fort battlefield. Li Hu was too determined and wanted to eat a wolf in one bite. In this way, the army that was originally planning to ambush the Jin army suddenly became the main force of the Jin army. The losses of the four generals of Hedong can be imagined. Some of the thirteen generals from Hedong followed the king to the Hebei battlefield, some reached the Killhukou, and the remaining part guarded the border. The king could not come back for the time being. If this part of Zhe Kecun suffered a severe blow, the border security of Hedong would immediately become a big problem.

Of course, Yuwen Xuzhong and Liu did not dare to take this risk, so they immediately objected, hoping that Li Hu would not change his attack strategy.

At this time, Hu Jiayong and Geng Shouzhong came hurriedly, "General General, Resentful Army, Yisheng Army has been lined up, please order the General General to enter the battlefield immediately."

Li Hu nodded, and then said to Yuwen Xuzhong and Liu: "Things on the battlefield change rapidly. No matter how good the attack strategy is planned, it may not be possible. I have fought many years of wars, and most of them are large wars that hundreds of thousands of times participated. I have some experience in this regard. Although military strategy says that twice the force cannot carry out encirclement and annihilation operations, the battlefield is a place where miracles occur, and perhaps we can create miracles."

"Master..." Liu wanted to persuade him again, but Li Hu raised his hand to stop him, "The war has begun and it is impossible to change again. The reason why I told you the attack strategy is to ask you to cooperate with me. If you are unwilling to cooperate, then I will use coercive means."

Yuwen Xuzhong and Liu's faces changed slightly, and the latter showed anger, but seeing Li Hu's murderous eyes, the two dared not speak anymore. This was a war, not a piece of paper. In order to defeat the enemy, Li Hu would not let anyone block his plan.

"I'll go to the battlefield to command myself." Li Hu said to Yuanye, "You are here to be in charge. If someone deliberately destroys it, kill it."

Li Hu galloped on his horse.

Hu Jiayong and Geng Shouzhong accompany each other.

Wang Dazhong, Xie Yidao, Yue Fei and others followed closely behind. Fang Jin followed with the Iron Guard Camp.

"Dongdongdongdong..." The war drum sounded, shocking the world, the sound of drums piercing through the clouds and splitting stones, flying straight to the clouds.

Li Hu was speeding in front of the formation, waving his arms to the soldiers. The soldiers of the resentful army and Yisheng Army saw the Tiger King go to the front line and fight side by side with them. The morale was like a rainbow and cheered in a loud voice, "Tiger King..." The tide-like cheer gradually drowned the drum horn and flew on the Cangtou River Valley, which stood in the two mountains, and did not disperse for a long time.

Li Hu arrived at the forefront of the team, and he waved at Hu Jiayong and Geng Shouzhong, "Send the order and advance to the battlefield."

Hu Jiayong and Geng Shouzhong turned their horses and rushed towards their respective troops.

Fang Jin, the head coach of the Iron Guard, raised his arm and made several gestures in succession. The horn sounded and the flag was flying. The Iron Guards lined up with geese to guard Li Hu in front of the formation, and galloped towards the battlefield outside the pass.

The resentful army and the Yisheng army started, and twelve square formations marched rapidly on the vast valley, like a long and undulating dragon, with a rainbow of momentum.

The valley of the gate where the tiger's mouth is about six miles long. After this Dou-shaped gate, it is a undulating mountainous country with hills and ravines and large valleys. The Jin army camp was placed in a hill.

After receiving the news of the enemy's dispatch, Wanyan Yu immediately ordered the battle. The enemy was in danger and defended, and the Jin army was difficult to fight. The enemy took the initiative to fight, and the Jin army was desperate for it.

Wanyan Yu was a little confused and didn't know why Li Hu had to abandon the danger and fight. Although Li Hu had reinforcements and tens of thousands of Liao and Xia coalition forces, he had no advantage in terms of total force. If this battle was faced head-on, Li Hu would have a 30% chance of winning, because Li Hu's army was a coalition force, and the Liao and Xia armies were jointly combating. This not only had the problem of ineffective command, but also lacked tacit understanding between each other, but more importantly, lack of trust. Li Hu and Liao and Xia both had deep hatred. This time the joint was forced out by the Jurchens, which was a temporary measure under helplessness, so it is not difficult to imagine what the result of this battle would be.

Wanyan Talai, Wanyan's mother and Yin Shuke and other generals were very excited. Li Hu, the turtle shrank, finally couldn't help but come out. He was caught off guard last time, and this time he wanted to get back with capital and profit.
