The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 250 Battle Situation Ahead
Wang Qing was furious in the hall, overturned the case, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it fell to the ground, even those memorials flew everywhere.

When Shouzhou fell, the two pioneers Feng Tai and Liu Yuan were ambushed by the Song army. Liu Yuan died in battle. Feng Tai relied on his personal bravery to lead more than a thousand defeated troops to Gong Duan in the rear.

Gong Duan's army rushed to the tail of the Song army, but unexpectedly they were also ambushed, but the Song army seemed to be weak in combat power, and both sides suffered losses. Gong Duan retreated [-] miles, and Shouzhou fell in front.

Wang Qing scolded from above: "Yufu, Yufu, two vanguards met ambush, Marshal Gong Duan can also meet ambush, you are all idiots!"

The people below did not dare to answer, Wang Qing continued to scold: "Du Po's memorial said that when he met an enemy general, he actually fought him regardless of the outcome. Where did such a general come from among the Song army? He also said it wasn't that kid Zhao Tun , It is simply absurd, if there is such a person who is used to fighting, he would not have been sent here long ago, but only now, is it because Zhao Ji has lost his head!"

At this time, Li Zhu came out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down the anger of thunder. The so-called victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. The minister who reported the battle has also seen it. Judging from the damage, the Song Army is still the same Song Army, there is nothing surprising about it, although the commander of the army has changed, the Song Army's combat power is still weak, no difference from before, so there is nothing to worry about."

Zhao Tong was thinking to himself at this moment, judging from the battle situation, Zong Ze at least divided his team into four, attacking Shouzhou with one team, ambushing Fengtai and Liu Yuan's two teams, and then ambushing Gong Duan's team.

The troops he brought to conquer Wang Qing this time were all horse and infantry troops under the jurisdiction of the Guards' Pro-Army Division.

But these horse infantry are not the same as each other. He has trained all those stationed around Tokyo, and they are stronger than those soldiers of the Dianqian Division in any case. At worst, they run faster than those soldiers of the Dianqian Division.

However, he never practiced the forbidden troops stationed in Xijing, Nanjing, etc. Although those forbidden troops were not around Tokyo, they also belonged to the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army. The combat power of these people was far inferior to those soldiers he had trained.

According to Wang Qing's several battles, Zhao Tun can roughly judge that the one who attacked Shouzhou and ambushed Feng Tai and Liu Yuan should be the Tokyo Imperial Army trained by himself, and the one who ambushed Gong Duan's main force should not be The Custodians who have been trained.

Even if they were ambushing each other, these untrained forbidden troops still didn't take advantage of it. Since Li Zhu said that each had losses, it should be that each other suffered about the same casualties.

Zhao Tong didn't know why Zongze made such an arrangement, but he thought that there was always a reason for him, or in Zongze's mind, it was more important to win Shouzhou first.

In line with the principle of using no suspects and no doubts about employing people, Zhao Tang didn't think too much about this matter. Since Shouzhou was won, there must be a confrontation ahead, so I don't know what arrangements Wang Qing will make here.

Seeing Wang Qing looking at Li Zhu with an ugly expression from above, he said, "Prime Minister, what is your plan to defeat the enemy?"

Li Zhu took a look at Manchao Wenwu, and said: "Your Majesty, since Shouzhou has fallen, there must be a confrontation ahead, and then send troops to reinforce it."

Wang Qing said: "But now there are only more than 4 soldiers left in Luzhou..."

Li Zhu said: "Luzhou can send another [-] soldiers and horses to advance along the east road towards Shouzhou. This will not only support the main force of the Chinese army, but also prevent the Song army from going around the east road to attack Luzhou."

Wang Qing nodded when he heard the words, and said: "What the prime minister said is very true, I am afraid that the Song army will come to attack at this moment!"

Li Zhu continued: "Your Majesty, Guangzhou and Huangzhou each send another 5000 soldiers. After gathering [-] troops, they can march to Shouzhou from the west road. If the three routes of troops and horses go together, the Song army will not be defeated. If the Song army retreats to Shouzhou, it will happen to besiege the city!"

After thinking for a while, Wang Qing laughed and said: "The prime minister is indeed a good planner, so I will order Guangzhou and Huangzhou to send troops from the west road now!"

Zhao Tang glanced at Liyanazha from below. Liyanazha looked unhappy. Originally, she wanted to attack Luzhou in three ways after the Song army occupied Shouzhou, but Li Zhu's words turned into Luzhou The state mobilized the Third Route Army to fight Shouzhou.

Wang Qing said: "Duan Wu!"

Duan Wu came out of the shift and said, "The minister is here."

Wang Qingdao: "I order you to order [-] soldiers and horses and march towards Shouzhou along the east road. You must be careful of the Song army's ambush."

Duan Wudao: "The minister takes orders!"

Wang Qing said again: "Explore carefully on the road, don't let the Song army take the east road to attack Luzhou, and report back every day!"

Duan Wudao: "Your Majesty, I have written it down!"

After Duan Wu came out of the hall, Wang Qing looked at the people below again, and said: "Ai Qing, if you have any other clever plans to defeat the enemy, you can speak freely."

His Highness and everyone looked at each other. At this moment, the situation of the battle is clear. There is no other trick. As long as the opponent can't attack Luzhou, the victory or defeat will depend on the skill of the commander in front. The Song army is weak. As long as there are no accidents, at least it will be a confrontational situation. .

Seeing the silence of the crowd, Wang Qing's face darkened again, and after saying "Disappear", he got up and left with a flick of his sleeves.

In the evening, the stars are sparse and the moon is light.

It was midnight after Zhao Tun patrolled around Luzhou's defenses. He got off his horse at the Xiping Gate of the West City, led a hundred soldiers, walked into the Weng City and went straight up the city wall.

There are urns on all sides of Luzhou City, and the west gate is built here at Xipingmen, where the Tibetan soldiers can rest at ordinary times. Above is the city head, which is the main gate of the west city of Luzhou.

When he climbed to the top of the city, he saw two soldiers behind each battlement, one standing and looking out, the other sitting and resting, exchanging defenses like this.

In addition, there were many small soldiers in the city holding long guns, walking back and forth and patrolling non-stop. One of the small soldier leaders saw him coming up, and immediately came over and saluted: "General!"

Zhao Tang glanced at Xiao Bing and said, "Where is General Shangguan?"

Xiao Bing said: "General Shangguan is in the tower, do you want the younger one to report?"

Zhao Tong shook his head and said, "No need, the general will just go there."

He asked a hundred soldiers under his command to rest temporarily on the city, and walked towards the tower alone.

The Xiping Gate guarded by Lianazha also had two people switching defenses, but it was calculated on a day and night basis, unlike Zhao Tuo and Zhuo Mao, who took turns during the day and night.

However, there are city towers and urns where you can rest. Although it takes a long time, it is much easier than Zhao Tun's job of patrolling around.

The city gate is not big, and it separates the inside and the outside. The outside is actually a narrow wall. Weapons, bows and arrows can be placed here. As for the inside, it is about five or seven steps long and wide. There are not many things, only a hardwood table and a chair.

An oil lamp was lit on the table, and Lianaza was looking at something by the light.

Seeing Zhao Tun coming in, she said, "Where did General Li come from?"

Zhao Tong glanced outside, and said: "Patrolling here, come up to have a look, the battle situation ahead is tense recently, I would like to warn the general, be careful in everything."

Liannazha said: "I dare not slack off, looking around day and night, lest I miss it."

After finishing speaking, she whispered: "If General Li is tired, you can take a rest here."

Zhao Tang smiled, his eyes fell on Liannazha's hand, he shook his head and said, "Tired but not tired, what is General Shangguan looking at?"
