I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 947

Before Da Song launched the general offensive...

"Your Majesty, about [-] cavalry troops from the State of Song sent to Daliao from the Heishan Weifu Army Division and the Yan Army Division in Heishui Town in the former Xixia.

"Arrived in Yunnei Prefecture yesterday, the entire Southwest Road Recruitment Department territory was completely occupied by Song State."

In the tents of the Beiliao Palace, there was a lively discussion about the effect of the fire horse array... Obviously it worked, and there was hope of breaking through the release of the Song Dynasty chariot.

Another such impact is likely to open a gap, allowing the Daliao cavalry to quickly penetrate Song's defense line and defeat Song's central army.

That will be another battle of the Gaoliang River, and the emperor of Song will surely reenact the story of his great-grandfather.

However, such reports were heard.

Yunnei prefecture, Fengsheng prefecture, and then on to Nanjing Road.

Such a report made the entire Daliao palace tent instantly cold...

The current situation is that, apart from the main battlefield on Nanjing Road, there are almost no mobile forces in Daliao.

Whether it is the Northwest Recruitment Division or the Southwest Recruitment Division, the elite soldiers from the entire Xijing Road and Shangjing Road have already been mobilized to the Nanjing Road battlefield.

It can even be said that almost all the string-controlling warriors in the entire Daliao territory have been recruited on the main battlefield.

Regardless of whether it is Liaodong Road or the Northwest and Southwest Recruitment Division, all the peace and defense troops are old, weak, sick and disabled. Otherwise, Daliao would not sit back and watch the Xizhou Uighurs plunder cattle and sheep...~It cannot be controlled.

The original plan was to send a large army to the Xizhou Uighurs after the battle with Song was over, and ask them to return what they ate...~
"Why does the Song State have so many cavalry? It's not an intelligence report. Does the Song State only have [-] cavalry? Where did the cavalry come from in the northwest and southwest?"

This is a common question among the ministers and workers in the tents of the Daliao Palace.

"The cavalry that attacked our Daliao from the Northwest and Southwest Recruitment Division was not the main cavalry of the Song State, or it was not the cavalry organized by the Song State's battle order."

"The cavalry who attacked our Daliao from Xijing Road were mainly young and strong from Dangxiang and Tubo, not in the uniform of the Song army..."

"According to the reports of the soldiers, the court of the Song Dynasty allowed Dangxiang and Tubo people to join the army and fight. They are not part of the formation team, but the court of the Song Dynasty will reward them with military exploits."

"And the source of the reward is the pastures, cattle and sheep in my Daliao territory..."

Obviously, in this war, Song State not only wanted to regain Yanyun, but also aimed to destroy the entire Daliao.

is it possible?No one dared to say it was impossible.

Judging from the current battle situation, hundreds of thousands of troops are concentrated in Nanjing Road. After nearly a month of fighting, the result is that Song State is advancing step by step, while Daliao is gradually retreating.

Although it has been explained to the soldiers in terms of strategic retreat, everyone knows that Daliao did deal with a disadvantage, or decline, in this battle.

"If I, Daliao, had concentrated our superior forces from the beginning, it would have been fine to attack Song Guozhong's palace tent. Maybe at this time I am waiting in Zhending Mansion, waiting for Song Guo to beg me to negotiate with Daliao!"

"At the beginning of the war, who would have thought that the Daliao cavalry would be blocked? The [-] palace guards went deep into the back of Song and were wiped out!"

"My Daliao should not be confronting the Song State like this, but should give full play to the advantages of the Daliao cavalry..."

Advantage?There is a fart advantage.Since Yelv Yixin's rebellion, Song State has begun to deploy troops to Hebei Road. The two years of civil strife have given Song State sufficient time to deploy defense lines.

Chariot soldiers are almost the nemesis of cavalry, plus the use of firearms... The situation in the Liao and Song Dynasties has long been reversed.

"Back when Yelu Yixin fled to the border, the State of Song wanted to get back the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun on the condition that it sent troops to help Daliao put down the rebellion..."

"At that time, maybe Daliao didn't have to go through the two years of war during the negotiations, and it wouldn't be where it is today..."

"Did you really think that the Song Dynasty would put down the rebellion for me in Daliao? It is clear now that Yelu Yixin was struggling to the death and caused chaos in Daliao, and it was Song who supported him behind the scenes..."

"What did the court's secret work do at that time? Didn't even find out such important information?"

"Yelu Yixin's rebellion does not mean that the officials of Daliao cannot be trusted, and not all of them have the intention of treason. At that time, the court really shouldn't focus on guarding against civil strife..."

This is already insinuating that Yelu Hongji, His Majesty the Daliao Emperor, is wrong.

The problem is, at that time, Menggu and Jurchen cooperated with Yelu Yixin in the rebellion. Who knows if there are other forces preparing to respond to Yelv Yixin?
At the beginning of the Yelu Yixin rebellion, the Northern Liao court focused on the monitoring of various internal forces, which is understandable.

It can even be said that using the quelling of Yelu Yixin's civil strife to consume the combat power of all parties is also a decision that adapts to the situation at the time.

In fact, Yelu Yixin's team was the elite of Beiliao anyway, and it did damage all forces.

In other words, Yelu Yixin's chaos in the territory of the Northern Liao Dynasty in the later period has traces of the Northern Liao court deliberately doing it.

Later, it was precisely because when the Yelu Yixin rebellion was quelled, all forces gathered their forces, and at the same time the Song Dynasty launched the Northern Expedition, which also gave the Northern Liao court an excuse to directly mobilize the troops of all forces...~
Many things happen at one time and another, and ideas and results do not necessarily match.

This is how Beiliao is now.

Yelu Hongji did not fail to hear the whispers and whispers in the palace tent.

Judging from the present, perhaps the original decision was wrong, but at that time, as the emperor of Daliao, he seemed to have only that.

"Tomorrow, we will continue to attack Song Guozhong's palace tent..."

Yelu Hongji really wanted to reprimand, and even imagined that as before, when he uttered his voice, the entire court officials were terrified.

Unfortunately, he also knew that this was not the time for him to play his temper, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear everyone's discussion.

He didn't even discuss the situation of the fall of the northwest and southwest, and directly left the headquarters tent.

How to discuss?It is impossible to discuss the results, because Daliao really can't mobilize too many troops now.

The servants and workers of Beiliao looked at each other in blank dismay, and were stunned by His Majesty's reaction for a moment.

Just like that?What's the matter?

Just now we were yearning together, yearning for Daliao to use the fire horse formation, and then concentrate their forces to attack the palace tents of the Song State’s central army, so that the Song State Emperor would repeat the mistakes of his great-grandfather again, and the old story of Gaoliang River would happen again~…

Now, a large number of Song troops have appeared in the northwest and southwest... Is it possible to repeat the reversal of the Battle of Gaoliang River?
Difficult, difficult!

At that time in Gaoliang River, the army of the Song Dynasty was rampant and directly killed Nanjing in the Daliao. All other teams in the Daliao did not suffer any losses.

But now, the army of the Song Dynasty is advancing step by step, and Daliao not only experienced two years of civil strife in the early stage, but also concentrated all its fighting power on the Nanjing Road...

What's more, since this year, not only the horses, but also the supply of soldiers has been insufficient.

Think about it, the current Daliao is very similar to the army of the Song Dynasty... The veterans are tired.

How is this fight going?
……

"Your Majesty~~Your Majesty...~There is an urgent battle report on Xijing Road..."

Yelu Hongji didn't sleep well at all, and he hasn't slept well for more than a year.Even more so these days.

Hearing the servant's shout, Yelu Hongji turned over quickly.

"what's up?"

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the Xijing Road... The Yunzhou Army of the Song Dynasty saw through our suspicious soldiers on the Xijing Road, broke through our Daliao defense line three days ago, almost wiped out the defense team of the Yunzhou Army of the Song Dynasty, and quickly advanced eastward. "

"According to the report from the messenger, I am afraid that within two or three days, the Song State Yunzhou Army will arrive at the Nanjing Road front."

"The Yunzhou Army of the Song Dynasty joined the Weizhou Army yesterday, and now the troops are divided into two groups, and the north and the south respond to each other and advance eastward."

"The Yunzhou Army and the Weizhou Army of the Song Dynasty are a mixture of cavalry, infantry musketeers, and chariot soldiers."

"Because the Weizhou army of the Song Dynasty went northward, blocking the passage of Xijing Road to report to the imperial court, and sent scouts Baili to intercept the transmission of the battle report, the Xijing Road battle report arrived today."

We broke through three days ago, then joined forces, and marched eastward in two separate routes... I am afraid that we will arrive at the main battlefield of Nanjing Road in the next two days.

Song Guo is going to encircle Daliao!

Yelu Hongji was a little confused...

"Your Majesty, how to make a decision, you need to make up your mind as soon as possible..."

What else can I do now?To the south, the State of Song is an overall cohesion and undifferentiated defense.Even if the Fire Horse Formation attacked for three consecutive days, it could not break through Song's defense line.

To the west, it is obvious that whether it is the Yunzhou Army of the Song Dynasty or the Weizhou Army, or even the Dangxiang and Tubo cavalry recruited by the Song Dynasty, they are all fresh troops. Now the exhausted troops of Daliao cannot compete with them. contend.

Once going west, he could not escape being surrounded and killed by the army of the Song Dynasty...

As for Xiangdong, after Gao Yongchang in Suzhou rebelled, the forces originally attached to the Daliao Dynasty, whether it was Xi or Shiwei, still tried to unite to rebel against the Daliao Dynasty even though they had been mobilized by the Daliao Dynasty.

If it hadn't been for the ruthlessness in quelling the Jurchen disaster, if Daliao still had an army of 50, maybe Liaodong would have rebelled again.

The only way is to go north... Fortunately, since the Yelu Yixin rebellion, all the forces in the north have been mobilized, even if they are remnants, they can still sweep the forces in the north...

At this time, Yelu Hongji was thinking about the way out...

"When will Song's army arrive at Nanjing Road at the latest? How is the guard at Juyongguan?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the guards at Juyong Pass will hardly be able to stop Song's army... Song's northern army may need to break through Juyong Pass, while the southern army can directly attack the back of our army..."

"In other words, Song's southern army may go north and attack directly behind Juyongguan, thereby opening up the natural danger of Juyongguan..."

Yelu Hongji understood it, which meant that he was helpless...

"Your Majesty, according to today's palace tent agreement, I understand that in the morning, we, Daliao, will once again organize a formation of fire horses to attack the palace tent of Song Guozhong's army. At the same time, the cavalry will accompany them, waiting for the opportunity to break through the Song army's defense line, and point directly at the Song emperor's camp, so as to reverse the situation." The current disadvantage..."

Easier said than done!

If this plan really works, the Song army will be unprepared on the first day, and when [-] to [-] fire horses charge, they should be able to break through the Song army's defense line.

The attack for three consecutive days has not worked. Is it possible to expect to make meritorious deeds after the Song army has countermeasures?

What's more, Song's army on both wings has already advanced nearly [-] li towards the Chinese army, and will join forces with the Chinese army soon.

Under the coordinated operations of chariot soldiers, cavalry, and musketeers, the single combat method of the Daliao cavalry could not stop the speed of Song's two wings advancing towards the central army...~
Tomorrow, I'm afraid he will return in vain, but what about after tomorrow?
Not only is the army on the two wings of the North Road of the Song Dynasty approaching, but the Yunzhou Army and the Weizhou Army in the northwest and southwest will also arrive at the front line.

At that time, I am afraid that at that time, the State of Song will really form a siege of Daliao...~
Yelu Hongji is no longer the high-spirited Daliao Emperor in his early years, but an old king who has neglected government affairs for many years, but cherishes his life...

"Called all the ministers to discuss the matter, and said that Yunzhou saw through the strategy of the suspicious soldiers of Xijing Dao yesterday evening, and will arrive at the main battlefield of Nanjing Dao in five days..."

Although the close servant didn't quite understand why His Majesty did this, he still obeyed and went out to deliver the order.

……

"Mentors and workers, Song State has sent troops to Yunzhou, and Weizhou has also sent troops. The situation is quite serious! And Song State's Yunzhou Army and Weizhou Army are new forces..."

"Obviously, the State of Song is planning to encircle and wipe out our Daliao army of 50 troops on Nanjing Road!"

"Now, my Daliao has no choice but to put all my eggs in one basket. I must continue to implement the fire-horse tactics within three days. I must break through the defense line of the Song State's central army and reach the Song Emperor's camp...~ Only in this way, our Daliao side may reverse this war situation."

"What I am worried about is that now that we have finally found a way to deal with Song's defense line, because of the possibility of being surrounded by Song's army, our army of 50 in Daliao will be surrounded."

"Now, what I want to say is that despite the fact that our Daliao troops are stretched, we still need to send a team to the west, block, and even hold on to the defense line of Juyongguan and even the entire west, so as to win time for the army's fire and horse formation!"

"The armies on both sides of the North Road of the Song Dynasty may advance to the middle battlefield at the latest ten days, and the Yunzhou Weizhou Army of the Song Dynasty will arrive at the Nanjing Road at about that time...~"

"And my Daliao Fire Horse Formation has only been used for three days, and there is indeed a possibility of breaking through the palace tent of the Song State Central Army. How should we seize such a great opportunity?"

"Which general is in charge of this important task to stop the Yunzhou Army and Weizhou Army of the Song Dynasty to the west?"

It's been said that it's a new force...
After Yelu Hongji finished speaking, the important ministers of the Northern Liao Dynasty who were still in a daze suddenly woke up.

Unfortunately, no one answered...

Indeed, judging from the current situation, Daliao is surrounded by the army of Song State.

However, the ministers also understood that the Yunzhou Army and the Weizhou Army of the Song Dynasty would never be able to establish an absolutely solid line of defense with the cooperation of chariots and cavalry like Hebei Road.

Therefore, the so-called siege is unrealistic for cavalry.

From here to the north, there is a flat river, which is most suitable for cavalry to gallop. Only relying on Yunzhou and Weizhou with less than 20 troops, it is like encircling Daliao with 50 cavalry... ~ Song Guo really dared to think.

At this time, the various forces in the Northern Liao still believed that even if they could not win, it would not be difficult for the Daliao to withdraw to the north of Yanshan.

The most important thing at this time is who will stop the new force of Yunzhou and Weizhou Army.

Since the suppression of Yelu Yixin's rebellion, His Majesty the Emperor of Daliao has let non-royal and descendant forces charge at the forefront. At this time, he still does not forget to weaken everyone's combat power...

Who is being taken advantage of?
