Chapter 1309 Before the war

The battle became extremely tense. The Jin army, which had been avoiding fighting, suddenly changed its temper, and the resistance became extremely strong. The battle lasted for five days, and the two sides were still fighting fiercely on the front line of Lushan.

"General Lin, the enemy's flank is moving south along Lu Mountain. Should we follow him?"

Han Tao looked at Lin Chong and asked.

"Well, if the army follows up, we must not let the enemy get around us, let alone let the enemy get away."

Lin Chong smiled and nodded.

"This seems to be deliberately luring us there, right?"

Xu Ning said.

"It doesn't matter, let them succeed!"

Lin Chong shook his head. Of course he could see the enemy's purpose, but these were not important. This was what they wanted.

"Send the order, the army will follow the enemy closely!"

Lin Chong looked at Xu Ning, Yang Zhi, Han Tao, Peng Qi, Gong Wang, Ding Desun, and Huang Xin and ordered.

Wang Jin on the right wing also pursued the enemy, and the troops on the left and right wings slowly chased the enemy away from the central army.

Qi State's Central Army Camp.

"How far away are Lin Chong and Wang Jin from us?"

Sun Lei looked at Zhu Wu and asked.

"It's more than thirty miles away. Lin Chong's army is heading towards Qianzhou, and Wang Jin's army is besieging Yizhou."

Zhu Wu said.

"One south and one north, that's good. Wanyan Wu's begging side should be ready to take action!"

Sun Lei nodded.

"But the enemy has made no move. They have been guarding the position outside Lushan for the past few days, relying on the city to deal with us!"

Zhu Wu said.

"The two wings are fighting fiercely, why is the central army so quiet? This is the tranquility before the war. Send the order, have a good meal, we will launch a surprise attack tonight."

Sun Lei said, if the enemy doesn't take action, then he will strike first.

"Yes!"

Zhu Wu took the order and went to make arrangements.

"Your Majesty, if there is a decisive battle, Wanyan Wu Qimai will most likely lead the troops himself!"

Xu Guanzhong looked at Sun Lei and said.

"The military advisor will be in charge of the central army. I will take the people there!"

Sun Lei said while holding the dragon head stick.

"Your Majesty is going to the front of the formation, and I should follow you!"

Xu Guanzhong smiled and cupped his hands and said, he is not without the strength to restrain a chicken. He can travel thousands of miles and naturally has martial arts with him.

"Then let's fight together!"

Sun Lei didn't say much. There was a sound outside the camp, and all the generals filed in.

"Your Majesty is going to have a decisive battle?"

Li Kui was the first to speak and asked excitedly. He had just received news that he would launch a surprise attack after a full meal tonight, but the enemy had already retreated to Lu Mountain, and then into the Daxianbei Mountains, completely losing the Liaodong Plain.

"Yes, the war will begin tonight!"

Sun Lei nodded. Both sides had been planning for a long time, and it was time to decide the winner.

"Next, I will make arrangements. Tonight, the trapped camp will attack from the front. Wu Song and Sui Sheng will lead the headquarters to follow closely. Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun will attack Xianzhou on the left and right!"

Sun Lei looked at everyone and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Everyone was extremely happy. The battle for more than half a month had been tentative. The enemy was like a rabbit and ran away. Now it was finally a good fight.

"Your Majesty, what about me?"

Yue Fei asked quickly, but he didn't hear his name after listening around.

"You stay in the Chinese army and you will not participate in this war."

Sun Lei looked at Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Shi Jin, Shi Bao, and Wang Yin and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A few people nodded without any opinions, but Yue Fei looked unhappy. "What? Are you unhappy?"

Sun Lei looked at Yue Fei and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, my men are all elite, and they are the best at defeating the enemy. Why don't you let me lead the troops?"

Yue Fei said gloomily.

"I naturally know that your men are all elites, but are you sure you want to take these elites to charge into battle and kill the enemy?"

Sun Lei looked at Yue Fei and asked.

"We are the strongest vanguard if we fall into the camp!"

Li Kui banged the heavy armor on his body and said unconvinced that he could not beat Yue Fei, but his battalion of soldiers and horses was no weaker than Yue Fei's, especially when he charged into battle to kill the enemy.

"This……"

Yue Fei ignored Li Kui, a fool, but thought about Sun Lei's words. He felt that Sun Lei had a deeper meaning.

Wanyan Wu Qimai also has 150,000 elites around him, including the Jurchen's absolute strength of the Tiefutu. These will not appear in Xianzhou.

"Your Majesty wants us to observe the enemy's formation?"

Yue Fei's eyes lit up, Xianzhou was just the enemy's most advanced city, and the real elites were all at the rear. In a battle, if someone is needed to charge into the battle, there must also be someone who can watch the enemy's battle and take precautions.

"Not at all!"

Sun Lei shook his head and walked to the sand table.

"Look at the sand table. Don't the current arrangements of soldiers and horses look familiar?"

Sun Lei pointed at the sand table and said.

"This is the arrangement for the battle between the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom at Tribulus Mountain!"

Hua Rong recognized this layout. He had seen this battle from the information brought back by Xu Guanzhong. The current layout of the Jin Kingdom was the same as that of the Liao Kingdom.

"It really is!"

Only then did Yue Fei and others react.

"At that time, the Jin State rushed to Xianzhou and stationed outside the city. The defenders of Xianzhou thought they could wait for work, so they rashly went out to fight. As a result, they fled in defeat and lost Xianzhou. Then the Jin army rushed all the way to Tribulus Mountain, and the Liao army was overwhelmed. Defeated, the surrounding cities looked down upon the wind."

Sun Lei nodded.

"But the Jin Kingdom is not stupid. They are not the decadent Liao Kingdom. They have a stronger will to fight. It will be troublesome to completely defeat them. It will be faster. The terrain of Tribulus Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Jin people are good at fighting in the mountains and forests!"

Sun Lei focused on Tribulus Mountain. Tribulus Mountain was backed by Lu Mountain, so he could move forward and retreat freely.

"Look at this Haozhou again. Lin Chong's left-wing army is in Qianzhou, which is a little far away from Tribulus Mountain. Wang Jin's right-wing army is in Yizhou, which is closer to Tribulus Mountain, so there is a Haozhou in the middle."

"So far, there has been no movement in Haozhou. There is no intention to attack the rear of Wang Jin's army. What do you think they are waiting for?"

Sun Lei looked at everyone and asked.

"Wait to suddenly attack our flank when we attack Tribulus Mountain?"

Everyone's faces were full of horror, the enemy actually had such a hidden agenda.

"Then let's attack Haozhou first!"

Shi Jin spoke.

"If we go to Haozhou, Wanyan Wu's begging side will definitely come and kill us. They are just trying to force us to do this! Xianzhou is also a decoy! This is a triangle formation!"

Yue Fei pointed to Xianzhou, Haozhou and Tribulus Mountain on the map and said.

"As you can see, the war in Xianzhou will be slower. Let's look at the situation in Haozhou. If we can directly attack Haozhou and capture it."

Sun Lei looked at Yue Fei and said.

Yue Fei's eyes lit up. This raid was definitely not a surprise attack by a large army, but a surprise attack by the elite soldiers, who pried open the city gate and then led the army in.

"Haozhou is now strictly guarded. How to get in is a problem!"

Sun Lei looked at Yue Fei and said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will find a way!"

Yue Fei nodded heavily and said, no matter how tight the defense is, there will be flaws, and his special forces are best able to seize these flaws.

"Your Majesty, Sister-in-law Gu has arrived with people, and the meals are ready."

Zhu Wu walked in and said.

"Let's go out for a meal."

Sun Lei looked at everyone and said, "The next step may be a hard battle. A hearty meal can boost the morale of the soldiers."
