Guo Shao, who was surrounded by a crowd, stood on top of a mountain, panting, his forehead was soaked with sweat. Liu Qiao, the cold wind blowing over the top of the mountain, made him feel very comfortable at this time.
Behind the side, you can see the men and horses of the brigade in the valley slowly marching eastward. They are the infantrymen of the Second Left Legion of Yang Biao. Carts and horses walked through the valley, and there were infantry columns trekking on the undulating mountains on both sides.
At this time, the Second Army and Third Army on both wings are moving closer to the center. After the Ping Xia Army set off from Wuding Fort, the general direction was to advance along Wuding Hebei. However, Guo Shao, in view of the fact that the terrain is not open, in order to increase the horizontal early warning range and prevent being ambushed, the march spread out in three parallel directions. At this time, after the three armies stopped advancing, they gathered again.
On the northern hillside, a group of several people are leading their horses up here. That is Shi Yanchao and others.
Guo Shao stood on the hillside while resting, while waiting for Shi Yanchao.
Everyone looked panting. Guo Shao smiled and said, "I like to exercise my bones. My favorite way is to climb the mountain. The exercise is not strenuous, you can do it slowly, but it is physically demanding."
The thin Wang Pu was tired and fell on the ground, and he casually echoed: "It takes a lot of effort, this mountain is too big."
Between talking and laughing, Shi Yanchao finally climbed to the top of the mountain, clasped his fists and said roughly: "Your Majesty, the general is ordered to withdraw the strikers!"
Shi Yanchao hardly disobeys military orders, but he is happy and unhappy all written on his face, he does not hide it at all, even the emperor. Guo Shao glanced at him, and it was obvious that Shi Yanchao was not happy at this time.
Guo Shao calmly said: "It was originally a matter of wishful thinking, why did General Shi want to make the burden of shaving his head hot?"
Shi Yanchao said: "Your Majesty, please tell me."
Guo Shaodao: "In this situation, Li Yiyin has gathered too many people and can't afford it. My ministry wants to find Li Yiyin for a decisive battle. Why doesn't he want it? If the other party has no intention of these things, it is hard to find and find it; Li Yiyin If you want, we don’t have to be so urgent, he will come by himself.
We acted a little reluctantly and thought about retreating cautiously. Li Yiyin would be even more convinced that the decisive battle would be beneficial to him, and instead was anxious to send it home! "
Wang Pu laughed after listening: "Your Majesty has insight into people's hearts."
Guo Shao said: "Human nature is nothing." He pondered for a moment and said again, "But we can't be too uncooperative, if we rush to withdraw Wuding Fort, Li Yiyin will hesitate, and is very likely to be unwilling to attack the fort. Variable. So what I am doing at this time is called'I want to refuse and welcome'."
Everyone blushed after hearing it. Some people couldn't help laughing, but Guo Shao was very serious.
Guo Shao doesn't think he is a clever calculation, but a very simple logical deduction. The situation is clearly presented, and there are not many paths that both sides can choose.
From the standpoint of the Khitan people in Dangxiang, according to their previous understanding of the Central Plains Forbidden Army, their combat power is very strong, but they are not far behind the elite Liao Army. Based on this judgment, forty-five thousand elite soldiers and thirty thousand guards for defensive fortifications, the coalition forces (Dangxiang Qidan) have a very low chance of attacking the city; but the field has an advantage.
So Guo Shao's judgment is: if the coalition forces are given a decisive battle in the field, they will be very willing to cooperate; and if they are allowed to attack the city, it will be difficult for them to take the bait.
Just like a sentence: In a battle that you don't think has a chance of winning, the wisest choice is not to fight.
If you want others to fight this battle, you either have no choice at all, or you have to give others hope!
At this time, Wang Puzan said: "Your Majesty Temple counts. In this way, Wang Shi can not only get his wish in a decisive battle with the Dangxiang Khitan Allied Forces, but also actively choose the battlefield."
"Exactly." Guo Shao said. He glanced at Shi Yanchao, and saw that Shi Yanchao was silent, but there was awe in his expressions, and he obviously admired the emperor... People inevitably have things they are not good at, and they always admire those who are good at it.
Wang Pu buried his head and looked at the mountain at his feet, and asked tentatively: "Where will your Majesty choose the battlefield?"
Guo Shao has been observing this place for a long time.
An official of the former military mansion was hesitant to speak, Guo Shao casually said, "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, so I am only in this mountain?"
The official hurriedly said: "Wonderful!"
Unexpectedly, Guo Shao shook his head and pointed out, "I will choose, I will choose the hillside to the east"
Everyone immediately looked in the direction he was pointing, and was silent for a while, wondering what good the place was. I saw that it was a large mountain slope, but the **** was very gentle. In this ravine, that place is not called a mountain, it is a relatively flat place.
Guo Shao immediately explained: "From the perspective of common sense, it is more advantageous to occupy this high mountain below your feet, and the enemy's attacking **** is larger. But for artillery, it is not very good..."
He drew a parabola in the air with the whip folded in his hand, "Cannonballs fly like this. The artillery can have negative elevation angles, but the angle cannot be too large. The slopes of this hill are too steep and the mountains are too small, so the cannonballs will hit directly. Go down the mountain and fly down, almost hitting the ground vertically. Our bronze cannons bounce at a small angle. The vertical angle is too big. What effect can a pit hit?"
Guo Shao groaned, "So the **** should be long, not steep. In addition, the slow **** makes the opponent more confident to attack, without us having to attack first."
Anyway, the emperor is the supreme commander, he said to choose the gentle slope, so he chose the gentle slope. The three armies immediately deployed camps to that area.
Guo Shao ordered Shi Yanchao to be a forward to scout the surrounding situation and monitor the movement of the coalition forces.
……
Thirty miles south of the Wuding River, is where the nearly 30,000 guards of Cao Bin's department are located, that is, the Pingxia Army Corps.
They left more than 3,000 people defending in Wuding Fortress, and continued to build fortresses with tens of thousands of civilians. Because the Wuding Fort design requires a barracks and warehouses for seventy to eighty thousand troops, it still occupies a large area; more than 2,000 people are needed for the full defense of the city defense fortifications, and they dare not keep too few people.
The Cao Bin's army was originally marching twenty miles away from the Chinese army. After receiving the military order, he stepped back ten miles to make a gesture, then stopped to find a high place and set up a garrison.
On the third day, news came from the Chinese Army Kuai Ma. The number of the enemy horse squadron is unknown, but more than 10,000 horses have approached the rear army from the eastern mountain area.
Cao Bin immediately ordered alert!
The general asked: "Duke Cao, do you order preparations for war?"
Cao Bin said calmly: "No hurry. This enemy rider will not attack us casually."
The minister said in confusion: "Then they will come..."
Cao Bin said: "The news said that it was more than 10,000, but it didn't say that it was more than 30,000 or 50,000. That is not to attack our department. Their purpose is to wait for us to reinforce the Chinese army before looking for fighters... You all Understand, it is best to break the formation when the infantry is marching into formation."
The generals worshipped. Cao Bin ordered the scout to feel the direction and find out clearly.
...The guards did not prepare for battle, and continued to lay out fortifications on the spot.
Yu Liang is also digging trenches with his 30 brothers. He couldn't tell how hard he was. He walked all the way to Wuding Fort, built a fort, worked hard in the ice and snow for more than a month, and then continued to trek in the valley for a long time and continue to work!
His hand has been cracked, and it hurts every time he holds his head. Although he was wearing linen gloves, he couldn't stop the lime water from cracking...When the Wuding Fort was repaired, the lime water made him unbearable.
The material of rammed earth is a mixture of lime water, clay, and soil. There is no legendary glutinous rice juice. There is not so much food in Central Plains. As soon as the lime sees water, it heats up for a long time, and the mixed soil is piled in the room where the kang is burning, and it won't freeze hard before being transported... It's just that people can't bear it.
Yu Liang has done so much hard work, and his mind is confused. Back when studying at home, with ten fingers not touching the sun, why did you do so much coolies? Why is this so hard? ¼
At this moment, there seemed to be another voice in my mind: Zhao Hu is a hero.
At the beginning, Yu Liang kept looking for Xu Erniang, but he really followed Hongying's suggestion a bit, considering that Xu Erniang was close to the female imperial doctor Lu Lan, then Lu Lan was a noble person! But later I found out that Xu Erniang was very special...it can't be said, anyway, and Hongying are not the same.
Xu Erniang is hardly literate, but she is obviously not stupid. She also seems to feel that Yu Liang is with her, not only because she is grateful for the care of Lingnan... Yu Liang saw her before leaving for the expedition and showed her his heart; Xu Erniang refused. , But also mentioned: Whenever there is a chance, I will talk about him to Lady Lu.
Yu Liang was rejected and heard that again. He felt very humiliated at the time and was angry. "Is it just that I am so ungrateful and want to rely exclusively on women?!"
However, in the two months since the expedition, Yu Liang has gradually become suffocated. Thinking about memories, I think Xu Erniang is kind and has no intention of humiliating...If she intentionally humiliated, why would she help him?
Yu Liang recalled the beauty of Tokyo, while digging in the ravine.
What kind of hero is Zhao Hu? He is a pawn, how much does winning or losing have to do with him? What's more, Zhao Hu hadn't won that time, but he was **** by the Khitan people|dead!
Yu Liang was in a complex mood. He gritted his teeth to endure the pain of the crack in his hand, and shook his head abruptly. After more than a year in the army, his endurance has become better and better.
At this moment, the shout of a military commander surprised Yu Liang in confusion. When Yu Liang looked up, he saw the guy riding on the horse, arrogantly under-sampling, and pointed his horse whip at the ditching brothers: "Whoever can build the ditch wall will squat! Look at the back, there is also a ditch wall. Live, stare at the arrow rain of lead shots and turn back over the wall behind the ditch, so just run?"
The general is obviously much higher than Yu Liang, the ten general. Yu Liang scolded you for the ratio of your|mother, but he couldn't say anything, just immersed himself in work.
Anyway, Yu Liang is even looking forward to a happy battle at this time. It has been enough to toss in this ravine. People in the world just owe it, so it's better for party members to spend so much time? Why don't everyone open up and enjoy the game, anyway, the final score is always a win!
The brothers seemed to feel the same as him, and someone yelled: "Dog|Sun|, come early, grandpa can't wait, kill it!"
