Chapter 923 Night Attack!
The weather in Liaodong is changing very fast. It was just as autumn began, and it soon snowed.
Falling in college is extremely unfavorable for Song Wensong's marching, especially because horse grass is difficult to find. You should know that when Song Wensong came from Lianshan, it would be good if the cavalry along the way could prepare enough food. Where can I prepare how much horse grass?
Liaodong has been a place to raise horses since ancient times. According to common sense, horse grass should not be a problem. In fact, Shengjing's grain and grass reserves are also sufficient, and the army will use more for half a year.
But Song Wensong took a good hand, but now he is all playing badly. A heavy snowfall brings him more despair than cold...
Can you not be desperate? Horses cannot fight without food. How can they rush to Shandong thousands of miles without fighting?
However, for Song Wensong, his despair was far from over. The army set up camp and was worried about the issue of food and grass. The scout reported that the Shengjing defenders had left the city. Li Xiu personally led the army to attack Song Wensong's camp, judging from the situation, he wanted to wipe out Song Wensong in Liaodong.
When Song Wensong heard the news, his hair stood up and said, "This...is this true? My God, when did Li Xiu be so bold? He just took back Shengjing, but now he abandoned the city and refused to defend it. He wants to fight me?"
"Prince, Li Xiu killed thousands of my colleagues. He would stop not coming. Since he came, he would just let him go without a return! I am willing to lead two thousand troops to raid Li Xiu and break Li Xiu's military formation!" Li Yuanze, a powerful general under Song Wensong, said loudly.
The first general under Song Wensong was Li Yuanze. Li Yuanze was not only able to fight, but also loyal to him. This is why Song Wensong rarely led the troops out of Lianshan this time, but he just brought Li Yuanze by his side.
Li Yuanze wanted to fight, but Song Wensong was very hesitant and said, "Li Xiu is not easy to deal with! He is extremely good at using troops and is also good at fighting cavalry. We don't have many people in our hands, so we fight hard with him rashly..."
"Prince, since Li Xiu dares to leave Shengjing, hehe, then we will also go around. We should not go to Shandong anymore. Instead, we will take advantage of the emptiness of Shengjing and retake Shengjing back!
After taking Shengjing this time, we also killed two or three thousand people first. The Lu family, Gu family, Chen family and other wealthy families left a few sparks, and killed all the others!
Use this method to tell the people of the world that following Lu Zheng is a dead end, thus dismantling Lu Zheng's military morale and destroying Lu Zheng's prestige. I believe that as long as we do this, Lu Zheng will inevitably encounter a crisis. At that time, Long Lingxiu may really dare to send troops to fight Lu Zheng in the Central Plains!
Once that happens, we will have the opportunity to take Liaodong again. Liaodong is in hand, and we are not afraid!"
"Yes, this idea is good. I think we should also take the opportunity to retake Shengjing. Five thousand people died in Shengjing. This is a great shame for my Northwest General. If you don't take this revenge, we cannot explain to the parents and villagers in the Northwest..."
Song Wensong was completely confused when facing the various counselors and generals. He suddenly became less confident now, because his continuous failures forced him to reflect on his weaknesses.
When his weakness was too obvious, his confidence was weakened little by little, and at this time he could not even make a decision.
If it were in the past, he would not hesitate to go to Shengjing with his temperament, because Li Xiu dared to despise him so much, it would be impossible to bear it! Song Wensong's courage is not under Song Naifeng, what did he rely on? He relies on his courage in combat. He dared to fight to the death at critical moments...
But now, he thought about it carefully but still had doubts in his heart. Can he attack Shengjing?
He thought repeatedly, but he was really inaccurate. At the critical moment, he could only turn his eyes to Di Qinghai and said, "Mr. Di, at this time, my army has reached the autumn of life and death. At this time, any decision may make my army die without a place of burial! At this moment, I, Song Wensong, have no one to rely on, so I can only ask the teacher to show me a clear path..."
Di Qinghai has not spoken, and has been watching the performances of the strategists and generals in a cold manner. Everyone expressed their opinions, but he deduced them himself. Until now, he has an idea in his mind.
I have to say that Song Wensong's performance today made him feel very pleased, because Song Wensong finally knew that he had learned his mistakes and gained wisdom. At this time, it is valuable that Song Wensong could make decisions without making rash decisions and impulsive decisions, which shows that Song Wensong had already seen the problem.
Di Qinghai cleared his throat and said, "Li Xiu's abandonment of Shengjing is definitely not his idea. He doesn't have the courage or the power!
Where is Shengjing? It is where the Lu family’s mansion is located. Li Xiu, the other owner-owned family, can ignore it, but he can abandon the old master of the Lu family and rashly leave the city? This is simply a joke, it is impossible!"
Di Qinghai's statement immediately aroused everyone's approval. It's true. Li Xiu was just a joke to give up Shengjing? Once Shengjing is lost, Li Xiu dares to take responsibility?
Di Qinghai sneered and said, "So, Li Xiu's approach came from Lu Zheng's instructions! The purpose of Lu Zheng's doing this is to trap us in Liaodong, so that we can't go to Shandong calmly!
Or to put it more alarmistly, Lu Zheng just wants to leave a big flaw for us and let us learn about it. What a big flaw in Shengjing. In an empty city, there are food and grass for tens of thousands of people to eat for more than half a year. There are countless powerful families in the city, and these powerful families have countless gold in their families.
If we can take Shengjing, we can build a high wall and ignore the outside world. In this way, we can build an extremely powerful cavalry after working behind closed doors for a year or two.
Is this bait big? Is it annoying enough? I think everyone should have an answer in their hearts! Lu Zheng is the best at understanding people's hearts. His trick is to fool us. If we are all focused on winning Shengjing, hehe, I'm afraid we will really die without a place of burial!"
When Di Qinghai said this, the audience was silent, and many people were shocked and sweating! I have to say that Di Qinghai's words were well-founded and irrefutable.
but……
Di Qinghai seemed to see everyone's doubts, and he said, "I won't mention anything else. Kuangzi should have arrived at the Liaodong Plain at this time! Hehe, when Kuangzi arrived, do we know how many soldiers he has? Since we don't know, then we dare to assert that we can definitely defend Shengjing?
So, Shengjing may become a prison, which will lock all of us in it and will never get out. In this way, the prince's great cause and the prince's ambition will become nothing..."
Song Wensong was shocked and felt a chill rising from his back and rushing toward his head. He was really shocked and sweating!
He suddenly stood up and said, "Then...what should we do? Lu Zheng set up such a sinister trap. How can we get out of Liaodong and go to Shandong?"
The atmosphere in the conference hall suddenly became extremely depressing, because Song Wensong's words made everyone feel desperate. If Lu Zheng really blocked his power and made the army unable to enter Shandong, where should more than 10,000 people in the Northwest Military Region go?
Shengjing has now become a cage. As Lu Zheng continues to send his army to Liaodong, Liaodong can no longer allow the Northwest Army to rush around. What should we do now?
Di Qinghai said coldly: "Now we have a solution. The best way is to follow the situation and follow the plan!"
Song Wensong approached Di Qinghai, bowed deeply, and said, "Sir, please tell me in detail, how can we use our plan?"
Di Qinghai said: "If Lu Zheng personally takes charge in Liaodong, we will definitely be in danger this time. Therefore, this person is really deep-minded, cunning and resourceful. We are at a disadvantage now, and it is very difficult to confront him head-on!
But there is only one Li Xiu in Liaodong now. Li Xiu is a good player in war, but he is still a little immature! For the current plan, our first strategy is to act according to the strategy mentioned by Li Yuanze, that is, to carry out a frontal attack on Li Xiu, launch a surprise attack on him, and let him taste the edge of our Northwest Army!"
Di Qinghai's voice suddenly rose and said, "At this time, Li Xiu would never dream of us daring to fight back, and not going to take Shengjing, but directly confronting him head-on!
He didn't expect that we would do this, and that was unexpected and unpredictable! Haha..."
When Di Qinghai said this, Li Yuanze's eyes were full of energy and said, "Prince, Yuanze is not talented and is willing to lead two thousand elite cavalry to raid at night. We suddenly take action. Even if Li Xiu can fight, he will definitely be caught off guard. When he comes to his senses, we have already escaped from afar. This battle is to consume the opponent, to dampen the morale of the enemy, and to fear Li Xiu, to make him feel shadowed, so as to create conditions for Mr. Di's next plan!"
Song Wensong clapped his hands and said immediately: "Okay, Yuan Ze is brave, this battle depends entirely on Yuan Ze! If this battle can be won, Mr. Di will have more room to play next! Since we cannot leave Liaodong now, we will simply not leave for the time being! We act like flowing water, and there is no need to be too deliberate. I believe that at this moment, our opponents will also think that we will go to two extremes, so we will not go with their wishes!"
With the order from Song Wensong, he had a backbone in his heart. Li Yuanzhe led two thousand men and set off immediately and approached Li Xiu directly in the darkness.
Besides, Li Xiu was confused after receiving Lu Zheng's order. My God, he had just taken back Shengjing, but Lu Zheng actually ordered him to give up Shengjing again, and asked him to stop Song Wensong from entering Shandong at all costs.
Seeing this order, Li Xiu couldn't believe his eyes. Under such circumstances, he did not summon the counselors to discuss matters at the first time, but went to Lu's mansion to meet Mr. Lu in a hurry.
This fact is too important. Li Xiu was worried that the wealthy families in the city would rebel after he executed Lu Zheng's order! Who knew that after arriving at Lu's mansion, Mr. Lu said one sentence:
"Military orders are like mountains, and those who dare to disobey orders cannot withstand military laws!"
When Li Xiu heard this, he was so scared that he dared to say more words. He came back immediately and did not convene people to discuss. He immediately counted the main force and led the army out of Shengjing City immediately.
The scout had already reported the location where Song Wensong had been released, and Li Xiu had nothing to say. He spread the scout's net to monitor his opponent's every move, and at the same time he kept taking the initiative to move himself closer to his opponent.
For him, he is absolutely not afraid of confronting his opponent head-on! In fact, Li Xiu has dozens of proud people. Among Lu Zheng’s eight kings, Li Xiu has the strongest head-on battle, and he is often proud of him!
Song Wensong's combat power is also well-known throughout the world and is good at facing enemies head-on. Li Xiu has always had the intention to face Song Wensong in front!
Under such circumstances, Li Xiu only stared at Song Wensong, and naturally he would be negligent. On this stormy night, the sky was very dark and he couldn't see his five fingers.
After Li Xiu's army set up camp, he read alone at night. When he was in a deep state, he suddenly heard the sound of killing sounds coming from outside, and then he saw countless fires flying from the direction of the sky.
Then he heard the sound of the horn, which was the sound of the Turks! Song Wensong used this horn this time to fight. Li Xiu was both heartbroken and shouted immediately:
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack, quickly attack!"
He immediately put on his armor, and at this time most of the soldiers and generals under him were still sleeping soundly in his dreams! By the time he tried hard to wake up these subordinates, the enemy's cavalry had already come over.
The brave ones won when they meet on a narrow road, and the opponent's surprise attack took the lead, which put Li Xiu in a passive position. Fortunately, he has been in a military career for many years and has been very well trained for soldiers, otherwise the hasty losses would be even more immeasurable.
Li Xiu directly abandoned the troops of one battalion and immediately used a horn to send a message to gather the other battalions. After the army reunited, Li Xiu took the lead and carried a long spear in his hand and rushed towards the enemy camp.
Then at this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting under my command: "Retreat, retreat, the Northwest Army's turtle begs have retreated!"
When Li Xiu heard that his opponent was about to retreat, his eyes immediately broke into pieces and immediately shouted that he wanted someone to chase him.
His subordinates immediately came over and said, "Prince, don't be rash! In the dark night, don't chase the poor enemy, worry about being trapped!"
When Li Xiu heard the trap, he immediately thought of Shengjing. He couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. How could he dare to ask someone to chase him? In this way, Li Yuanzhe led only two thousand men and forced Li Xiu's military tent to kill Li Xiu's military tent back and forth, injuring Li Xiu's better cavalry who had been one more class before.
The next morning, Li Xiu was promoted to the tent and counted the military horses. He was heartbroken to see that one of his side was so scary. And at this time, the scout came to report:
"General Li, we found that the large number of Northwest Army moved westward. They circled a big circle and might have to pounce directly towards Shengjing!"
Li Xiu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What a thief! These guys are going to attack immediately after the night attack. They attacked Shengjing! Do you really think that they can conquer Shengjing in one fell swoop? Song Wensong is so beautiful!
I will order the army will return immediately..."
