Chapter 758: Crossing the River


After a few days of rest and recuperation of the Xia army, Li Qing, the king of Yan, led 100,000 troops straight to Shouchun, as a strategic place for the defense of the Song army, the commander of the Song army, also attached great importance to the defense of Shouchun, and the Song army arranged 200,000 elite Song troops in Shouchun, and was personally commanded by the deputy marshal Zhang Miao, at the same time, the Song army also arranged a large number of firearms troops in Shouchun, stored a large amount of grain and grass, and built Shouchun indestructible.

"Newspaper, report, report to the general, Tan Malay reported that the 30,000 troops of the vanguard of the Xia Army have arrived in Shouzhou."

The scout general came to Zhang Miao to report.

Zhang Miao looked at the map in front of him and asked, "Who is in command of the Xia army?"

"General Yu, the Xia army is personally commanded by Li Qing, the king of Yan."

The Scout General continued.

"Yan Wang Li Qing."

Zhang Miao muttered: "The herald must closely monitor the movements of the Xia army. ” "Yes, the last general will take the order" The scout general immediately took the order and left.

For the Song soldiers and generals, Yan King Li Qing is like a nightmare, in any case, it is undeniable that in the campaign against the Song Dynasty, Yan King Li Qing's military exploits are definitely the first in the Xia army, Yan King Li Qing brought an unprecedented blow to the Song army, and even some Song army soldiers heard the four words Yan King Li Qing, and they were already comfortable before the war began; Faced with the arrival of Li Qing, an old opponent, Zhang Miao was very cautious.

"Summon, summon all the generals to come to the marshal's mansion to discuss matters."

Zhang Miao ordered with a calm face.

It didn't take long for the generals to come to the lobby of the Marshal's Mansion in Shouchun City, Zhang Miao sat on the handsome chair and said to the generals: "Generals, this commander has just received the exact news that the vanguard of the Xia army has arrived in Shouzhou, and it is not far from Shouchun City, what do you think about this?"

"Marshal, the last general thought that he should deploy defenses on the bank of the Huai River, and then attack after the Xia army crossed the river more than halfway through, and annihilated the Xia army crossing the river in one fell swoop."

A general of the Song army said: "Now that the country of Xia is not at peace, as long as we can rub the sharp spirit of the Xia army's attack, I am afraid that Li Qing, the king of Yan, will not march again." ” "Commander, the general thinks it's inappropriate."

Another Song general stood up and said: "The Xia army's artillery fire is sharp, and it has been fully proved in the battle of Dengzhou, the Xia army can completely cover the crossing of the river with artillery fire, and our army may not be able to destroy the Xia army crossing the river." ” Zhang Miao nodded and said, "Then in your opinion?"

"The last general thinks that our army should first let the Xia army cross the Huai River, and then fight a decisive battle with it."

General Song said to Zhang Miao: "The Xia army relies on only two things, one is cavalry, and the other is artillery."

After listening to the strategy of this Song general, Zhang Miao laughed and said: "Ha, ha, Ha Yue Fei, I didn't expect that your kid really has Huigen, and he actually had the same idea as Ben Shuai, and the generals immediately arranged separately according to Ben Shuai's military order just now." ” "Yes, follow the orders of the commander" Two days later, Shouzhou, in the camp of the summer army.

Li Qing, the king of Yan, led the follow-up soldiers and horses to Shouzhou City, and now the Xia army of 100,000 troops has been assembled in Shouchun, and the two hundred artillery pieces transferred from Li Huer are all deployed in Shouzhou, in addition to artillery, the Xia army has also prepared a large number of return artillery with hundreds of them, Li Qing plans to use unprecedentedly dense firepower to cook a pot of steel broth for the Song army; The gunpowder stored in the Mangdang Mountain camp was enough for the Xia army to squander.

"The last general, Yan Shu, pays a visit to the prince."

Yan Shu came to Li Qing's Chinese army tent and immediately saluted and said; "The last general has completed the handover with His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and I have come to report to the prince."

"Get up," Li Qing said to Yan Shu; "This king has called you back because he has an important task to be entrusted to you."

"Please make it clear."

Yan Shu said to Li Qing.

Li Qing pointed to the map and said to Yan Shu: "This king has received definite news that the Song army has deployed 200,000 troops in the area centered on Shouchun, and is equipped with a large number of firearms, and the Song army intends to start a decisive battle with our army here, causing heavy casualties to our army, so as to force this king to withdraw his army." ” "It seems that the prince already has a way to crack it."

Yan Shu looked at the map and said with a smile.

Li Qing smiled and said, "Do you have any suggestions?"

Yan Shu looked at the map and said thoughtfully: "Avoid its edge and fight in a roundabout way." ” "It seems that you already understand what this king means."

Li Qing pointed to the map and said, "This king will give you 30,000 elite iron horses, how about letting you complete this task?"

"It's the last general's honor."

Yan Shu said excitedly.

"Take Huainan, this king asks my father for your first credit."

Li Qing patted Yan Shu on the shoulder and said.

"What is the last thing to set off," Yan Shu continued to ask Li Qing.

"Tomorrow after sunset, the king will give you three days to reach the designated location."

Li Qing said with a very solemn face.

"Yes, the last general commands" The next day, Li Qing, the king of Yan, personally commanded 70,000 troops to forcibly cross the Huai River, and launched a fierce attack on the Song army, but this time the Xia army crossed the river without any resistance from the Song army, but surprisingly smooth, of which 50,000 troops crossed the Huai River very smoothly and set up a large camp on the south bank of the Huai River.

"Lord Yu, our army has successfully set up a large camp on the south bank, and the 50,000 army is holding the camp on the south bank, and the Song army has not sent troops to stop our army."

A Xia general reported to Li Qingyu.

"Someone has come to prepare a boat for this king."

Li Qing suddenly ordered.

"Lord Wang, if it's getting late today, what are you doing preparing the boat?"

asked General Xia puzzled.

"The king will cross the river to the camp on the south bank."

"Lord Wang, it's too dangerous to cross the river late at night, it's different to go tomorrow" "It's different."

Li Qing said to General Xia: "The Song army did not attack during the day, and it is very likely that it will launch a night attack.

"Yes, the Admiral understands; Please rest assured, the last general will go to prepare the ship.

"General Xia immediately took the order and left.

Li Qing boarded a river boat with more than 100 guards and headed to the south bank, at night the fog had risen on the surface of the Huai River, Li Qing stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the brightly lit camp on the south bank, Li Qing's heart was even uneasy; If the Song army launched a night attack at this time, I am afraid that there would be no good fruit for the Xia army to eat without any defense.

When Li Qing came to the camp on the south bank, the Song army did not launch a night attack, in order to prevent the Song army from attacking at night, Li Qing immediately made some arrangements, the entire summer army camp looked no different from the original, but Li Qing had already made the arrangement, in fact, the outside was loose and the inside was strong, and Li Qing was personally in charge of the Chinese army's big tent.

"Lord, everything is ready according to your orders."

A Xia general came to Li Qing and said, "Lord Wang, if this Song army doesn't come, won't we be busy in vain?"

"It's better not to come."

Li Qing sneered; "Do you think Lao Tzu is willing to fight this battle, this king tells you that this kind of anti-night attack is the most boring, squatting here and waiting for people to fight, our Xia army has always paid attention to attack, and the best defense my father has ever had is to attack; Tell the brothers not to be careless, your eyes are wide for Lao Tzu, if you let Song Jun touch in, this king will not be able to spare you. ” "Yes, the last general commands" Thank you for the four recommendations of the book friend 6054, the four recommendations of the bandits, the eight recommendations of x, the two recommendations of the book friend 0649, the six recommendations of the passing days, the three recommendations of a flash and the end of the world, thank you for your support, the brothers who have tickets continue to support the monthly pass, and the reward is not afraid:
