Chapter 59: Fierce Battle (Part 1)

In Youzhou, Yelu Hongji was busy handling military affairs. At this moment, Xiao Lu hurried in. His face turned pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He came to Yelu Hongji and reported loudly: "Report to the emperor, the Southern Dynasty army appeared in the territory of the Great Liao Dynasty, captured more than a dozen military camps, and killed more than 30,000 Great Liao warriors."

"What? The Southern Dynasties army appeared in the territory of the Great Liao?" Yelu Hongji rolled his eyes and burst into light, like a sharp sword, stabbing Xiao Lu directly, looking in disbelief.

"It's true! This is from Yelu Zhaobao." Xiao Lu hurriedly confirmed. He couldn't stop wiping his forehead with his right hand and wiped his cold sweat.

Such a big event has never happened in the history of the Liao Kingdom. It would be impossible to be afraid of Xiao Lu. His cold sweat couldn't help but seep out, wiped it out handfuls and came out.

"Haha!" Suddenly, Yelu Hongji looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, laughing happily, with a happy look on his face, and kept saying: "Okay! OK! Good! Good! It's so good!"

"This..." Xiao Lu heard it in his ears and thought something was wrong with his ears. He kept looking at Yelu Hongji. Seeing that he was smiling happily, he didn't look like a fake, he suddenly became confused and looked confused.

Yelu Hongji laughed for a while, then stopped laughing, looked at Xiao Lu, looked at him with a surprised and puzzled look, and asked with a smile: "Are you puzzled?"

"I am stupid and puzzled. Please let the emperor make it clear." Xiao Lu said respectfully.

"A dozen military camps in the Great Liao Dynasty were captured and lost more than 30,000 warriors, which was a huge loss and shocking." Speaking of this, Yelu Hongji changed his tone and said, "But if you think about it the other way, that is a good thing. Think about it, how many Song troops would be if you want to attack more than 10,000 and kill more than 30,000 Great Liao warriors? At least 50,000 or 60,000. Emperor Song sent 50,000 or 60,000 troops into the Great Liao Dynasty at once. Isn't this a chance to give the Great Liao?"

"I understand!" Xiao Lu is also a smart person. As soon as Yelu Hongji reminded him, he immediately understood and turned surprised: "Your Majesty, this time, Da Liao cannot miss this opportunity no matter what."

"Well!" Yelu Hongji nodded and smiled, "If you want to go deep into the territory of the Great Liao, you must fight horses. In this way, Emperor Zhao wants to change the army of the Southern Dynasty and adopt different fighting styles. This is what I am worried about. Although the Southern Dynasty has been suppressing the Great Liao for hundreds of years, it should not be underestimated. The Southern Dynasty has a vast territory, a large number of resources, and its strength is more than ten or twenty times that of the Great Liao. However, the weak Southern Dynasty is weak in the army, and its training is not legal, its fighting style is single, and its combat power is low. Although Zhao Xu wanted to innovate the army, he has never found a good solution. This time, Zhao Xu used the Convert Army as the basis, and the combat power built by the army should not be underestimated."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly and smiled contemptuously, "I predict that Zhao Xu will attack this time to test the combat power of the new army of the Southern Dynasty and temper the army. This is the opportunity that Zhao Xu gave me, and we must not miss it! I will kill these new army, not to mention the losses of the Song Dynasty. The opposition of Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Lu Gongzhu alone is enough to make Wang Anshi stop being prejudice, and the new law will die. Haha!"

Yelu Hongji is extremely smart, he is right. If the Song army is defeated this time, Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Lu Gong will drown many people with the saliva of these opposition parties. The new law will definitely not be implemented, and premature death is inevitable.

Not to mention, if the new Song Dynasty army was annihilated, it would be a huge loss and a blow to Song Shenzong. Song Shenzong's idea of ​​reforming the army would change, and he would give up this method, and the Song army would return to the origin of low combat power.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Xiao Lu was very confident.

"How else did Yelu Zhao say?" Yelu Hongji did not answer, but asked back.

"Report to the emperor, Yelu Zhaota ordered the scattered troops to be stationed in a concentrated manner, and secondly, he led the army of Zhuozhou to the south to prepare to annihilate the Southern Dynasties." Xiao Lu reported loudly.

"Okay!" Yelu Hongji did not nod and praised: "Yelu Zhao is in good condition, so let him do it. Humph, how can you escape when you go deep into the territory of the Great Liao?"

"Commander of Wu Du, we rescued several teams of brothers. They are really, such a good army, they dare not fight and cannot fight!" A soldier from the convertible army told Wu Ji.

In the past few days, Wu Ji led the Guixin Army to rescue many Song troops. The reason why these Song troops were not good is that they either dared not fight or could not fight. As soon as the Guixin Army arrived, the situation suddenly changed, and they had to accept it.

"This is normal." Wu Ji stroked his forehead: "They have not seen the real power of the new army, so they don't believe it. They are afraid when they see the Liao army. Besides, they are still fighting according to their previous style of fighting. It will be a strange thing to ask them to fight."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly and said, "This is also a good thing. The sharpness comes out and they will not grow without going through it. You have also seen that the brothers who have rescued us will be very good when they fight with Liaogou again. If they fight a few more times, they will become elites."

Wu Ji was right. The growth of an army requires tough battles after tough battles. Although the new army has been trained, it has not been fought with this kind of tactic. It is normal for problems to occur. The Song army, such as the Xiangxiongzhou Army and the Baoding Army, fought very well, and is no worse than the Converted Army at all. It is hard to say that other armies are often in danger. However, after failure, they are put on the battlefield again, and the situation is very different. They are very capable of fighting, just like changing individuals.

It can be imagined that after a while, these Song troops will grow up and become real elites. By then, the Song Dynasty will have tens of thousands of elite troops in its hands, and the situation will be very different.

"Commander Wu, you can find you." Zhang Tong rode his horse, panting, and shouted from afar.

"What's the matter?" Wu Ji went up.

"The commander of Wudu, there is a situation, a major situation." Zhang Tongfei came down and walked up quickly, reporting: "First, the Liao dogs are gathering and no longer dispersed, and it is not easy to attack. Second, the governor of Zhuozhou Yelu Zhao led 40,000 Zhuozhou troops to the south and attack us."

"Oh!" Wu Ji raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Good! Great!"

"You..." Zhang Tong couldn't figure it out and asked, "Military information is urgent, why are you applauding?"

"Crisis is also an opportunity for war." Wu Ji smiled and said, "If Yelu Zhao was huddled in Zhuozhou City, we really had no choice but to do anything to him. But if he went south, it would be a chance. If we kill Yelu Zhao, our situation would be greatly improved and our brothers would be more comfortable plundering. Besides, it is also a good thing for Liaogou to concentrate. If we kill a military camp, we will gain much greater."

"You have a really big appetite." Zhang Tong was a little shocked.

"It's not that I have a big appetite, but that we have good teeth and can eat it." Wu Ji shouted: "I'm here and I'm sending an order to order the Xiongzhou Army, Baoding Army, and Ansu Army to concentrate here and prepare to annihilate the Liao Army in Zhuozhou."

"Abide by the order!" The soldiers of the Congxin Army took the order and left.

"Xiongzhou Army, Baoding Army, Ansu Army, and your army is almost 20,000. Wouldn't it be too small?" Zhang Tong was a little worried and reminded: "Yelu Zhao is a good general, Zhuozhou is an elite, and he has strong combat power."

"Enough." Wu Ji's eyes shined and said, "If it's just a defeat, only 10,000 people are enough. However, I'm not going to defeat the Zhuozhou army, I'm going to wipe out the Zhuozhou army, and I'm mobilizing 20,000. One to two, if I can't beat them, we'll be a living!"

The new army has a strong combat power. If it really wants to give full play to its advantages, one or two is not a problem. With the new army's combat power, if it is just a defeat, ten thousand Song troops will be enough to complete it, but it cannot completely wipe out the Liao army in Zhuozhou. The reason is that once the Liao army in Zhuozhou is defeated, it will escape, and the 10,000 Song troops will not be able to fully pursue it. If 20,000 Song troops are used to complete it, the result will be different.

"Send another order to let the other brothers go and do it hard." Wu Ji raised his eyebrows and smiled, "After Yelu Zhao handed it over to us, he will no longer pose a threat to his brothers. It's time to let the brothers do it hard."

The biggest threat to more than 100,000 Liao troops was the Zhuozhou army. I was watching Wu Ji and the others. The other Liao troops did not have much threat to the Song army. Of course, this is based on the fact that the Song army is much more confident than when they first entered the Liao territory and can skillfully use tactics. If they were just entering the Liao territory, Wu Ji would not dare to say this.

Wu Ji led his army to the scheduled battlefield, and soon joined Zhou Wei, South Korea, Fang Ren and others. After talking about the situation, Zhou Wei and the others were very happy and they must give Yelu Zhao a ruthless person.

Seeing An Sujun goodbye surprised Wu Ji. Now An Sujun has changed his temperament and is much better than when he rescued him. Fang Ren couldn't help but thank Wu Ji: "The command of Wu Du, it's all your credit. If you hadn't let the little one see our prestige with your own eyes, how could I know that this is how the war was fought!"

The baptism of war is completely different from those who have not experienced war. An Su's army is really awesome. They have seized countless things and killed many Liao troops.

"Good!" Wu Ji was very pleased.

"Brother Wu, after we returned to the Song realm, all the brothers were reborn. Compared with the past, we were tigers, we were evil wolves, and the Liao dog became lambs. Haha!" Zhou Wei became more and more happy: "In the past, when I heard my brothers say that the Convert Army was so great and how easy it was to fight Liao dogs, I thought it was a bit exaggerated. Now, after experiencing it myself, I realized that there was no exaggeration at all, that was the truth."

"According to me, Brother Wu is still a little humble." Lin Hong also smiled.

"After this plunder, not only can the brothers fight and be confident, but more importantly, there are more battalion commanders, commanders, and everyone knows how to use this tactic." Wu Ji was really happy.

This plundering is a test question, not only the soldiers are tested, but more importantly, the generals and officers. With a group of generals and officers who can flexibly use this tactic, the new army has backbone and everything is easy to handle.

"Report to the command of the Wu capital, the Zhuozhou army is only thirty miles away from us." A Song army reported loudly.

"Prepare to fight!" Wu Ji said with a solemn face, "In this battle, we have gathered the best brothers in the new army. We should try not to use strategies as much as possible to fight a tough battle, and test our combat power well!"

"Okay!" No one disagreed with this.
