I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 932 Can't find the main force

"Zongjian Central, arrived at thirty miles south of Gu'an on the eighth day of April. When the army was advancing, there were two encounters and more than [-] enemies were wiped out. The chariot team had already set up camp, and the cavalry team was waiting fifty miles behind the camp. Order, and put the scouts east and west to fifty miles for vigilance."

"On the ninth day of the lunar new year, Wang Shunchen captured Xincheng without losing 700 soldiers. He wiped out [-] enemies. At present, the army is resting in Xincheng, and it is planned to go north in three days. The Liao army is at Qigou Pass Deploy the army."

"On the seventh day of the lunar new year, the troops of Zhou and Tong came to the city of Wuqing. Wuqing defended the Guo family of the Han army in the Northern Liao Dynasty. They were familiar with the siege methods of the Central Plains. They fought back and forth many times, and the battle was fierce. The army strictly enforced the imperial court. The principle of combat is to concentrate artillery fire on Wuqing. Wuqing City has not yet been taken, and the battle is still going on."

"Zhekexing Division attacked Yizhou. However, Yizhou is located on the eastern edge of Taihang Mountain. For the chariot army, it is not as smooth as entering the plains. The Zhekexing Division uses every ten chariots as a combat unit and divides them around Yizhou. Scattered battles, and cooperated with the cavalry to encircle and suppress the Beiliao rangers, intending to drive the Beiliao army to Yizhou City and launch an attack on the city."

"In addition, the fourth prince led the marines to land at Zhigukou and carried out uninterrupted raids. However, because there are not many Liao troops in Zhigukou, there is no report of the results for the time being."

Since the start of the war, Zhao Xi and the cabinet have been working in the meeting hall in order to carry out daily reports.

At this time, the court, especially the officials and the cabinet, were completely focused on the war, and all the affairs of the court were left to the yamen to decide on their own.And Zhao Xi also authorized the prince to handle the daily government affairs with full authority.

War is the most important thing in Song Dynasty now.

"From the current point of view, the implementation of the strategy is very good, basically in accordance with the established strategy, and basically achieved the goal."

Zhao Xi looked at the sand table and compared it with the report read out by the officials...
The four generals of the Guards, Zhao Xi, arranged to enter the area according to the characteristics of their respective operations.If it is possible to be flexible and not impulsive, they will mainly attack Yizhou; Zhou Tong and Wang Shunchen are good at attacking, so they will be arranged to lead the assault; and Zhong Jianzhong has the best view of the overall situation among the four, and when the army advances, it is necessary to take into account The advancement of the entire front.

"Officials, the generals of Hedong Road will invite you again, asking when to attack."

"I'm impatient! There are many battles, why are you in such a hurry? Everyone, I was thinking, all the encounters and positional battles of the four armies made me feel that I couldn't see where the main force of Beiliao was~"

Main force?All the minds are on the advancement of the strategy, that is, the report on the results of the battle, the cabinet also listens to the progress of the advancement, and no one pays attention to the main force of the Northern Liao Dynasty.

There is no doubt that Beiliao must have a main force.

"Summarize all the battle reports and count the situation of the Liao army that wiped out the enemy! Do it quickly!"

Wang Anshi also felt this problem.Since the start of the war, I have been pushed forward, and my mind is full of annihilating the enemy. I really didn't think about screening the details of the enemy.

"Don't worry, the generals in front have their own calculations. If you follow the battle requests of the various armies, the progress will never be just this distance. In other words, the main force of the Liao army has not yet been encountered, and all the commanders have noticed. Let’s make little progress.”

"However, I thought that maybe a little bit of aggressiveness ahead would have a miraculous effect!"

The stable strategy was drawn up by the imperial court and approved by the officials.At this time, the officials suddenly said that they hoped to advance...
"Officials, but the Liao army wants to enlarge the army and go deep? Judging from the early wars between the Liao army and our dynasty, the auxiliary soldiers, that is, the Han army Lin Ya, lured them, thereby attracting our army to pursue or go deep. The Liao army took advantage of the cavalry. , After opening the distance, the cavalry will split up and circle around, forming an encirclement of our side within a specific area!"

"Not only that, the Liao army will also use the surrounded team as a bait to lure other teams to support, so as to encircle the points to fight for reinforcements, and even use the advantages of the cavalry to stretch the front line and carry out non-stop raids and raids. Achieve the goal of defeating each of us."

Wang Shao's military knowledge is genuine.After all, he had led the army and fought in battle, so he immediately understood the official's intentions.

"Official..." Zhang Dun was about to say something when the official who had just gone out to compile the battle report came in.

"Listen to the summary first before discussing!"

Sure enough, judging from the battle reports of various ministries in the Hebei Province, so far more than [-] enemies have been wiped out, and there are only a small number of Pishi troops, let alone the Palace Guards.

It is even suspected that these annihilated Pishi troops were appointed to supervise the battle in the Han army.

In other words, the battle was very lively, but in fact, there has been no real war yet...
"Officials, do you want to let the front know the summary of the battle report?"

This is very important, at least Wang Anshi thinks it is important.

"No need. Hebei Road can check the situation of annihilating the enemy in the report, which means that they have a good idea. On the east and northwest side, let's summarize the battle report and know it, so as not to add to the chaos."

In this war, the imperial court gave the generals in front quite a lot of autonomy.Fighter planes are fleeting, and traveling between the court and the front line can easily lead to delays in fighter planes.

Zhao Xi was afraid that Hedong Road and the Northwest Army could not help attacking.

"Zi Hou, what do you want to say?"

"Officials, I think sending troops aggressively will help draw out the tactics of the Northern Liao Dynasty. Do you want to order some troops ahead to advance?"

One's own side is the real main force, but the enemy's main force has not been seen so far. This battle was fought in a muddle.

Zhang Dun feels that it is completely possible to follow the plan, let some combat forces rush forward, draw out the tactical arrangements of the Beiliao, and at the same time make adjustments to the tactics of the Beiliao to avoid unnecessary accidents.

Zhang Dun's idea is not wrong...
"Since the imperial court has an order to give the generals in the front the autonomy, don't break your word. Zihou, everyone, you must trust our generals, trust their judgment on the battle situation, and use the most tactical tactics."

"I'm thinking that our steady progress is nothing more than a delay in the war, and there may not be uncontrollable accidents. Let's wait and see."

Against Guochao's steady advance tactics, how will Beiliao fight this battle?Zhao Xi was also thinking, putting himself in the shoes of Beiliao.It seems that there is really no good way.

Harassing, luring and chasing, turning back and slashing, these are the most conventional tactics in Beiliao.

Or attack the grain road, cut off the logistics supply, and then keep attacking and killing the various ministries fighting for the grain road...

Don't look at the tens of millions of armies on both sides of Hebei Province, Song and Liao, who are fighting against each other. It is impossible for such people to be placed on the huge plain of Hebei Province without omissions.

Not to mention the single cavalry squad, even thousands of cavalry can do it if they want to go around the opponent's back from the gap.Of course, it's a little more difficult to add more.

Five thousand, or even tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have changed, and it is impossible for any party to detect it.

Perhaps the Northern Liao Dynasty will adopt such a method... Yelu Yixin still has military talents, and the tactics of this rebellion are worth learning from the army of the Northern Liao Dynasty.
