Monument Yangmen

Chapter 698
Zhendingfu.

In Fucheng.

Zhao Guangyi's temporary residence is the temporary command post of a million-strong army.

Zhao Guangyi was losing his temper, and the civil servants who were in charge of military affairs all lowered their heads and remained silent.

"A bunch of trash!"

"What is the luggage for?"

"Will Huyanzan fight?"

"Is Cao Bin too old to fight?"

"..."

Civil servants were being scolded for the generals of the Chinese army, and Zhao Pu, Zhao Defang, and Yang Qi sat in the corner on the east side as clay bodhisattvas.

It has been six days since Yang Da conquered the first city of Shuozhou in Daliao and fired the first shot of the Northern Expedition.

In six days, Shang Qingzi, the vanguard of the left army, led the ranger army and wiped out all the Liao soldiers in the countryside in Shuozhou.Yang Wu led the iron cavalry army, cooperated with Yang Dawei to send reinforcements, and repelled the enemy's reinforcements [-] times.

And Yang Da, with the cooperation of Yang Wu and Shang Qingzi, attacked all the way and seized six cities in Shuozhou.

Now, in the entire Shuozhou, only the main city, Shuocheng, remained unconquered, and the rest had all been included in Yang Qi's territory.

Compared with the left army, the right army is also making great strides.

Shi Shouxin led the soldiers and horses of the right army, turned to Cangzhou, and entered Daliao.

The first battle of the right army to open the Daliao was over before it even started.

The Liao general guarding the road that the right army must pass is a Han with a Han family in mind.

Seeing that the soldiers of the right army were pressing down on the border, and it was hopeful to recover Yanyun, he beheaded the Liao officer who supervised the battle without saying a word, when Shi Shouxin's army approached the city.

The Liao general with the Han Dynasty in his heart, led his soldiers and horses, and voted decisively.

Shi Shouxin broke open the gate of Daliao so easily.

Immediately afterwards, for three days in a row, with the help of the Liao general who had already surrendered, Shi Shouxin persuaded the guards of the three cities to surrender, and took down the three cities without a single soldier.

Not only did his soldiers and horses not decrease because of the war, but they gradually increased.

Four guards of the Liao Kingdom who harbored the Han Dynasty surrendered, and Shi Shouxin gained nearly [-] Liao soldiers.

There is a faint tendency for the soldiers and horses under him to exceed 40.

Shi Shouxin led nearly 40 soldiers and horses under his command, and rushed towards the fifth city.

With an absolute superiority in troops, Shi Shouxin's troops took down the fifth city with ease.

Both the left and right armies marched forward triumphantly.

On the other hand, the Chinese army, which had been dispatched by Zhao Guangyi and placed high hopes on it, was a bit stagnant.

Cao Bin led the soldiers of the Chinese army out of Waqiao Pass and swept across it all the way. It took only two days to reach Tongtai Pass.

However, Tongtaiguan is like Cao Bin's nemesis.

Tongtaiguan was like a nail, blocking Cao Bin's only way, stuck firmly there.

Once in the hands of Yang Wu, Tongtaiguan, which was vulnerable to a single blow, has become an iron wall after reconstruction. With the help of [-] troops, they guarded from danger and forcibly blocked Cao Bin's advance.

These [-] Liao troops are not the most elite fighters in Daliao, not even Liao people.

They were just Han Derang's private army in Youzhou.

Many of them were once Han Chinese, and later followed Han Derang to become pseudo-Liao people.

It was such a group of private troops that dragged Cao Bin's hundreds of thousands of troops for nearly five days.

This is why Zhao Guangyi cursed people in the temporary command post.

The left army with the least number of people is in a hurry all the way, and the right army is lucky, it seems to be picking up territory.

The Chinese Army, which he placed high hopes on, seemed to be holding back.

How could Zhao Guangyi not be angry.

"Send an order to Cao Bin, tell him that Tongtai Pass cannot be taken within a day, and I don't mind changing the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army."

For an emperor who only looks at the result, not the process, the result is the most important.

As for how much hardship and helplessness there were in the process, he didn't care.

Zhao Guangyi issued a one-day order to Cao Bin.

Yang Qi frowned slightly upon hearing this order, but he didn't speak.

From the perspective of war, Zhao Guangyi's one-day order is inevitably a little eager for quick success.

As the mainstay of the battlefield, the Chinese army must be stable, stable and stable.

It is like the magic needle of Dinghai. As long as it does not waver, the troops on the left and right wings will not be able to determine the overall situation of the battlefield regardless of victory or defeat.

But once the Chinese army is eager for quick success, it will inevitably be shaken, and its military strength will be consumed rapidly.

If things go on like this, once the Chinese army is exhausted and weakened, the overall situation will be unstable.

……

Zhao Guangyi's one-day order was delivered to Cao Bin in just one day.

After receiving Zhao Guangyi's one-day order, Cao Bin was a little dazed and helpless.

There is a saying in the art of war, if it is ten, it will be surrounded, if it is five, it will be attacked, and if it is doubled, it will be fought.

Although the army led by Cao Bin has not yet reached ten times the number of the enemy.

But in terms of combat power, it is definitely ten times stronger than the enemy.

Cao Bin used the strategy of encircling and feinting to attack Tongtai Pass.

Through siege, put pressure on the enemy, and through feint attacks, constantly wear down the enemy's fighting spirit.

It wasn't that Cao Bin couldn't win Tongtai Pass in one fell swoop, but because a strong attack would cause a great loss of troops.

It's a bit uneconomical to waste troops and beat Tongtai Pass.

As a commander on the battlefield, he pays more attention to the overall situation of the entire battlefield.

The Chinese army wanted to conquer not only Tongtai Pass.

There are Youzhou, Shunzhou and other places in the back, and finally Gubeikou, which will directly compete with the main force of the Liao Kingdom.

From the very beginning, the purpose of the Chinese army's operations was not to attack cities and fortresses, but to continuously consume the main force of the Liao Kingdom, and to conquer the Liao Kingdom's army in one fell swoop on the final battlefield.

At the very beginning, how many cities the Liao Kingdom occupied was of secondary importance.

If the main force of the Liao Kingdom cannot be defeated, no matter how many cities they occupy, they will have to be returned.

Only by defeating the main force of the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty could easily plant a flag on the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and occupy the territory.

This is the difference between a commander and a general.

The general saw only the gains and losses of one city and one place.

The commander-in-chief sees the whole situation.

Obviously, Zhao Guangyi doesn't want the whole situation, he prefers to occupy more territory at the beginning.

Cao Bin pinched Zhao Guangyi's order, looked back at the Forbidden Army camp that stretched for several miles behind him, and heaved a long sigh.

"The soldiers and horses of your Zhao family are all on the left and right. If you really want to make such a fuss, how can I, a courtier, refuse? Let's fight. If it really shakes up the overall situation, I, Cao Bin, will not be convicted..."

After sighing with emotion in a low voice, Cao Bin turned his head and ordered the Cao Family Dalang behind him, "Go and pass on the order, gather a large army, and storm Tongtai Pass. Before sunset, take Tongtai Pass at all costs."

Cao Jia Dalang took the order, went down and passed the order to the drummer, and beat the drum to gather the generals.

The heavy drums sounded, and all the soldiers of the Imperial Army, wearing infantry armor, gathered on the school grounds.
