Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 655 Pursuit
Looking at some generals who were still asleep, Luo Youdu said sullenly: "I just got the news that the Khitan secretly built a shipyard near the Hun River five or six years ago and trained the navy. From the bay into the sea to Lulong landing, through the mountain trails directly hit our grain and grass camp."

As soon as he said this.

All the generals in the imperial camp were shocked, and all of them took a breath and woke up instantly.

The most critical thing in this war is logistics. No matter how strong your soldiers are, those who have been hungry for three or five days will become soft-legged shrimps.

Lu Duoxun was even more frightened and his face turned pale. As a counselor, he didn't realize it, but unintentionally cooperated with Khitan's trick to lure the enemy, and he couldn't help sweating profusely.

Luo Youdu restored Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, Shi Shouxin and others, and continued: "However, I have seen the enemy's tracks in advance, and now their surprise attack troops are wiped out as soon as possible."

Looking at the somewhat sluggish general, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "It is impossible for the Khitan to know the news of the surprise attack force's destruction in a short period of time, so... are you awake?"

Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, and even Shi Shouxin, who is known for his recklessness, understood the meaning.

They are veterans who have been on the battlefield for many years, wandering on the line of life and death. They have never seen any tactics and tactics, and they immediately reacted, knowing that their majesty intends to continue acting and lure Khitan out of Dading Mansion. They said in unison: "Sober Already!"

"Master Dian, Shuai Ma, Brother Shi, tomorrow morning, you will attack No. [-] Fort, No. [-], and No. [-] respectively. I will withdraw the troops first, and you will follow. Acting must be real, and don't show off flaw."

Shi Shouxin patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, acting will eventually be a professional."

Luo Youdu came to the map, pointed to Alongshan County on the map, looked at the generals and said, "Here, I will wait here for you to attract the Khitan army."

He immediately made many arrangements, and all the generals led the way.

Seeing that the generals were leaving, Lu Duoxun was still in shock, so he hurriedly pleaded guilty and said: "Your Majesty, this subordinate is guilty, and he almost became an accomplice of the Khitan."

Luo Youdu shook his head and said: "It's not your fault, no one would have thought that Khitan would sacrifice Yelusha for this trick. I thought it was too smooth at first, but the death of Yelusha dispelled my doubts. Thanks to the dark move back then, It has achieved miraculous results, and things are really impermanent."

He was prepared for the food and grass-heavy land in the rear.

Without Yi Shenzheng's reminder, the Khitan and Jurchen raiders may not be able to break through their food and grass camp.

But losses are unavoidable, and it is impossible to control the overall situation as it is now.

Dadingfu.

Yelu Bishe walked back and forth in the palace absent-mindedly.

Yelu Wuzhi sat on a chair and fell asleep. He went through the five dynasties of Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang, Liao Shizong Yeluruan, Liao Muzong Yelujing and the current Yelu Bishe, but his actual age is not High, so far only 52.

But he worked hard for Khitan, especially during the years of the rise of the Dayu court, he grasped civil and military affairs, and worked day and night on state affairs.Back then, he was also a general who could charge forward on the battlefield, but now he is only over fifty years old, and he already looks like a little old man.Especially the death of his subordinate Yelusha in the past made him feel guilty, and his health is now worse.

Yelv Bishe calculated the time, and it should be almost finished, but there was no change in the Southern Dynasty Army, which made him very upset.

Now that they are limited in three ways, they are counting on Han Derang to open up the situation.

But today, the Southern Dynasties still stormed Bridgehead Dock, Wild Wolf Fort Dock, and Qingshi Fort Dock without any abnormality.

Bridgehead Fort, Wild Wolf Fort, and Qingshi Fort are the No. [-] Fort, No. [-] Fort, and No. [-] Fort in Luo Youdu's mouth.

The Khitan built 36 forts near Dading Mansion, and they took some strange names for various reasons, which are easy to confuse.The Central Plains was straightforward and numbered all the forts, counting them in numbers.

He wanted to ask about Yeluwu's quality, but seeing the old and tired look on the other side, he couldn't bear to disturb him and kept everything in his heart.

"His Majesty!"

Brother Yeluxiu and Yelu Xiezhen came side by side.

Yelu Yazhi, who was dozing off, also opened his eyes at this moment, looking at the two of them.

Yelu Bishe waved his hand to stop them and said, "Did you find anything?"

Brother Yeluxiu said modestly and low-key: "The situation was discovered in detail, let him talk about it."

Yelu Xiezhen didn't refuse, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Southern Dynasty's offensive today is a bit weird, and my subordinates suspect that the Han Beiyuan has already completed the great success, and the Southern Dynasty retreated secretly."

Yelu Bishe asked in surprise, "Aren't they still attacking our fort today?"

Yelu Xiezhen said: "The general thought this was a trick of the Southern Dynasty. In the past, when they attacked the fortress, they used infantry as the front and cavalry to support them. Then they used artillery stone chariots, ballistas, kerosene, etc. to attack the fortress by force. It was especially violent. However, in ten days, after breaking through five forts of our army, most of the defenders died in battle. But today their offensive momentum is far less than before, and their attacking soldiers are not heavy armored infantry, but wearing lacquer armor The number and accuracy of artillery stone chariots and ballistas are not as good as in the past. The general suspects that the soldiers attacking the fort today are all cavalry in disguise."

"Cavalry?" Yelu Bishe suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "Because the infantry retreated slowly, they are letting the cavalry hold us back and give their infantry time to retreat."

Yelu Xiezhen made a bow and said, "The last general also thinks so!"

Yelu Bishe was overjoyed and said excitedly: "So, the Hanbei Academy has already been completed? What a Luo Youdu, he is really cunning, if he hadn't been careful and insightful, he would have been fooled."

He was so excited that he couldn't control himself. Ever since he met Luo Youdu, nothing went well for him, and now he felt very proud: "Yu Yue!"

He looked at the great hero who caused all this.

Yelu's quality is also tangled, he doesn't know what step Han Derang has made.

Is it a complete surprise attack, occupying the food and grass camp in the Central Plains, or severely injuring the opponent...

If it is the former, this moment is a great opportunity to take advantage of the victory and pursue it.But if it is the latter, the opponent has suffered heavy losses, but still holds a part, which means that the Central Plains still has a chance to breathe, and this retreat may be to lure the enemy.

The Central Plains' retreat was too timely and swift, and there was no room for him to think about it.

Brother Yeluxiu said at this time: "If the last general commands the army of the Southern Dynasty, if he really retreats, he will choose to go to Yingzhou instead of Songting Pass."

Yelu Wuzhi was enlightened, and said with a smile, "There is a certain successor!"

He lifted his spirits and said, "Your Majesty, order the pursuit. Order the generals that if the enemy retreats towards Songting Pass, they must not pursue them. If the enemy retreats towards Yingzhou, don't hesitate to leave them behind."

There is only one way to go in the direction of Songtingguan, which is to lead to their previous battlefield, to the grain and grass camp in the Central Plains.

If the situation in the grain and grass camp is acceptable, it will naturally be withdrawn from here.However, if the food and grass camp is lost, there will be no material support for this road, and there will be a risk of an ambush.Choosing to go to Liujiakou and go south to seek Pan Mei's support is the best choice.

Therefore, they chose to retreat in the direction of Yingzhou, which meant that the food and grass camp had completely taken over in one pot, and they were completely defeated.

Yelu Bishe was emotionally agitated and issued a series of orders.

Brother Yeluxiu saw that Yelv Bishe arranged for him to go south to pursue him, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't forget that there is Cao Bin's Ministry to the west of Dading Mansion. If he stays in the west, it will be a big disaster."

Yelu Wuzhi nodded in reassurance and said: "Xunning is right. Cao Bin is a rare general in the Southern Dynasty, and his existence cannot be ignored. Your Majesty, let Xunning go."

Yelu must have no opinion.

With the implementation of one order after another, the Khitan cavalry gradually gathered, and multiple troops began to encircle Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, and Shi Shouxin's troops.

The three of them had already made preparations to retreat, surrounded them, and retreated first.

The one who chased after him was Olis, a friend of Yelv Bishe's when he was hiding in his residence.Due to no family background, promotion was slow.Yelv Bishe arranged him as the front team at this time, also to earn him promotion capital.

Olis jumped on his horse and swung his whip, shouting loudly to pursue.

The Khitan are nomads, and what they are best at is field warfare, riding and shooting across the world.

But after confronting the Central Plains, he had to hide in the fort near Dading Mansion, passively beaten.

When did Khitan suffer such grievances?
All of them have been suffocating for a long time, and now the cavalry is easy to change offense and defense.

The Khitan generals fought bravely, as if they wanted to vent all their grievances.

"Luming Mountain, Luming Mountain, Luming Mountain!"

While chasing, Olis prayed on his lips.

There are two big mountains in front of him, one is Deshan in the west, and the other is Luming Mountain in the east.

The news he got was that if the Central Plains retreated westward, enough would be enough.If you retreat to the east, you can have a big battle.

Olis couldn't wait to build meritorious deeds, and naturally hoped for the latter.

Seeing that the other side was fleeing towards Luming Mountain, Olis was overjoyed and shouted: "Falcon warriors, keep moving forward, don't stop until you take down the idiots on the other side!"

He thought of the greetings from the general across the way to his family early this morning, and a few sparks appeared in his eyes, and the old and new grudges were forgotten together.

Shi Shouxin licked his shriveled lips, and looked back, scolding the Khitan cavalry who were chasing after him.

Three groups of cavalry retreated in three directions, and the bastard behind him caught him and chased him, which was unreasonable.

Isn't it just when he was attacking, he broke his mouth for a while and greeted the other party's wife, children and mother, why should a big man be so stingy?
Hearing the shouts of killing getting closer behind him, Shi Shouxin cursed inwardly: "Damn, did you really give me shame?"

He stopped his horse, whistled suddenly, and charged back at the Khitan cavalry who were chasing him.

If he continued to move forward, this dog would definitely follow him into the encirclement.

It would be a big loss to bring this army into the encirclement before the enemy's large army came.

Instead of doing this, it's better to suddenly counterattack, kill him by surprise, and delay for a little time, so that the idiot behind him who only knows how to fight for merit will be more powerful.

Shi Shouxin has fought battles all his life, and he has an accurate insight into Olis' mentality of striving for success.

Because once upon a time, he himself had the same idea.

In order to strive for success, in order to stand out, no matter whether you take risks or not.

Losing is nothing more than a bad life, winning has everything.

Seeing that the opponent actually charged back, Olis didn't notice for a while, and collided with the opponent head-on.

With the sound of weapons colliding, many soldiers on both sides fell off their horses, howling.

Regardless of his status, Shi Shouxin was still that reckless man on the battlefield.

It's not just him, as a general in Dayu, it's a cowardly act not to dare to charge forward.

He is like a bolt of lightning, wedged bravely into the enemy group.

The dust was kicked up from the ground by the swiftly turning horseshoes, forming a yellow mist that covered the sky and penetrated directly into people's noses.

Shi Shouxin couldn't see the enemy and us clearly, but he didn't need to see clearly. Anyone in front of him must be an enemy. He held up the gleaming steel knife, and slashed head-on, swiping left and right, like cutting vegetables with melons. The Khitan cavalry in front of them chopped down and dismounted.

When it comes to martial arts, Shi Shouxin didn't make it into the top ten in the Dayu Army, but when it comes to bravery, he can only be compared with Hu Yanzan.

He shouted a fierce battle, only attacking but not defending, completely reckless style of play...

The Khitan people, who are known for their bravery and skill in battle, saw that Shi Shouxin was as fierce as a tiger, and no one wanted to fight head-on, so they surrounded him behind him.

Shi Shouxin didn't care about what was behind him. Who could be more reliable than his son?

Shi Baozheng was well aware of his father's temperament, and followed closely behind him, holding a horse spear, behind Shi Shouxin's back, mopping up the enemies that attacked from left and right.

As generals like Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin gradually aged, the second generation of generals gradually began to emerge.

Shi Shouxin's eldest son, Shi Baozheng, is one of them. He has been in the army since he was a child, and has practiced martial arts.But compared to his father's staunchness, Shi Baozheng was more composed.

Luo Youdu loves Wuji Wu, and originally planned to promote him to be the deputy envoy of Shangshi, to listen to him by his side, to mix up some qualifications, and then promote him.

But Shi Shouxin flatly refused, acting like his own kind, what's the matter if he doesn't go to the battlefield?

Under the influence of Dayu's ethos of advocating martial arts, almost all the second generation of the army chose to join the army instead of abandoning martial arts and learning literature.

Relying on his father's relationship, Shi Baozheng learned a lot of moves from Zhao Kuangyin in the early stage, and Gao Huaide and Hu Yanzan in the later stage. His bravery is not inferior to his father's, and he picked off the enemy riders who intended to outflank one by one.

The Khitan soldiers were not good at discipline, and Oulis was eager to make meritorious service, so he kept increasing his speed, making his troops stretch into a long strip.

On the contrary, when the Dianqian Division was running away, although they couldn't take care of the formation, they instinctively gathered together when they turned around and counterattacked.

Under the bravery of father and son Shi Shouxin and Shi Baozheng, they forcibly killed Oulis, who had a disorganized lineup.

But when Shi Shouxin and Shi Baozheng fought back.

Yelu Talie and Yelu Xiezhen had already arrived, and seeing Olis entangled Shi Shouxinbu, they didn't need to communicate, they understood the method of besieging and killing wild animals, and surrounded them from left to right.
