Chapter 894

So, during these three days, Wang Yang and others, who were also suffering, listened to the hustle and bustle of the camps in the middle of the night, and continued until the morning of the next day.

At this time, the soldiers in Youzhou City celebrated the departure of the Liaoxia coalition with cheers. Although the remaining 80,000 coalition forces were still blocked from the four gates.

However, compared with the previous scene where the camp almost covered the skyline, it was no longer possible. After careful calculations.

The conclusion was that the Liaoxia coalition forces outside the city were only 100,000 at most. Although they were still twice as many as the Youzhou defenders, the heavy pressure had disappeared.

"Last night, the spies we sent were able to determine that the Liaoxia coalition forces we left were heading southeast of Youzhou, and their specific whereabouts were unknown."

"It is very likely that they went directly to Hongzhou. There are still tens of thousands of Liao and Xia coalition forces outside the ancient city of Wuyan. It seems that they did not attack directly as we expected at first, but wanted to concentrate their troops into one fist and take down Hongzhou..." Zhong Shihe pointed to the map and analyzed calmly.

"We don't need to worry about such a thing. There are 70,000 to 80,000 troops in Hongzhou, and the army commanded by Master Su is nearby, so we can go to the rescue in time."

"The 100,000 troops left outside the city, this coach named Xiao really looks down on me, the military and civilians of Youzhou..." Wang Yang looked at the enemy outside the city with a little green eye, and took a deep breath of air. "We must eat at least half of it."

"Sir, we really want to attack?"

"Of course, but not now... I have been exploring military information these days, and in addition, I have notified Hongzhou and the others that there are also Zhong Shidao and others, so that they should not catch the Liaoxia coalition off guard."

But what Wang Yang did not expect was that at that night, the Liaoxia coalition left behind did not stick to the outside of the city, but instead took the initiative to attack. Fortunately, Wang Yang kept making the defenders more vigilant, so he did not let the sudden Liaoxia coalition take advantage.

But even so, he still angered the King of Kings, who had been holding back for a month. While ordering to face the enemy from all sides, he wrote quickly and passed the general's order to Liuboling.

Two days later, the army led by Xiao Shen arrived in front of the Wuyan ancient city and gathered 50,000 troops from Yelu Dadun, but failed to launch an attack on the Wuyan ancient city as soon as possible.

"The number of troops in the city has increased by more than double, and there are tens of thousands of Song reinforcements, which have arrived and are supported by the ancient city of Wuyan." Yelu Dadun explained the reason to Xiao Shenyili in a little frustrated.

Xiao Shen's face couldn't help but turn a little dark. He never expected that when he didn't come, there were not many soldiers in the Song army in this area.

When I got up and my heart rate came here, the reinforcements from the State of Song also came, which was clearly for me.

"How strong does the opponent's troops?" Xiao Shen asked with a gloomy face and firmly stayed in the tent, showing off his confident look.

"There were 40,000 soldiers outside the city, and 10,000 defenders in the ancient city of Wuyan. Now, the Song army reinforcements that crossed the river through the Wuding River are about 70,000 to 80,000. Including the Hongzhou soldiers and horses that are only one day away from the ancient city of Wuyan."

"The Song people gathered 160,000 to 70,000 people here..."

Xiao Shen couldn't sit still when he was like this. What a fuck... can he still fight hard and make achievements?

Think about it, the Liao Kingdom gathered 170,000 troops from various tribes, and dispatched nearly 80,000 Liao troops to join them and head south.

Afterwards, Xixia sent 50,000 troops, which naturally did not count the more than 100,000 servants and civilians, but there were only 300,000 soldiers who could fight.

However, after more than a month of attack, the losses of the siege side were far greater than those of the Song army defending the city. There were no less than five thousand people killed in battle, and the injured soldiers reached 20,000.

In addition, the Ximen tribe had a civil strife and killed another group. Later, the Wanyan tribe had a civil strife and killed another group because of Wanyan Agu's beating his father and son. For these alone, nearly 3,000 people were lost.

Later, Yinzhou was taken by the Song army. Yelu and Luwu had no choice but to send 20,000 troops to the east for reinforcements. Now, the 300,000 troops are now able to fight, but only more than 250,000 people can fight.

The 80,000 people who stayed in Youzhou naturally included the 20,000 wounded people. This is why Yelu Jinping was very dissatisfied. It took him several days to reluctantly appease the general and promise to stay in the periphery of Youzhou.

This time, nearly 170,000 troops were brought, and Yelu Dadun's soldiers were thought to be able to take down the ancient city of Wuyan like a destruction.

As a result, the Song people had already accumulated tens of thousands of troops here. Now, Xiao Shen was both worried and a little annoyed.

I went south this time because of a quick victory. But now, tens of thousands of Song troops are on the road ahead, even if my troops are nearly 100,000 more, the problem is that the battle is not just about the number of people.

Besides, there is not such a large battlefield, which allows hundreds of thousands of people to decide the outcome in one day.

#####

"Report! The general, the last general has found out that this Song army reinforcement was Su Dongpo, the governor of the Shaanxi Road in Song State. It is mainly composed of the imperial guards and some Shaanxi roadside troops who came from the capital of Song State..." Just when Xiao Shen was in a complicated mood, he finally came to report the news.

"Su Dongpo? I didn't expect that this literary master with great literary talent would have one day to go to the battlefield." Xiao Shen couldn't help but tilt the corners of his mouth, his eyes lit up.

If the visitor was Zhang Shan, the former Huanqing Road Advisor, or Han Zhongqian, the two veteran drivers who had been through the battlefield, Xiao Shen might have to make a fuss in his heart and hesitate for a few more times.

But now, it was actually Su Dongpo who led his army to help, which was interesting. Xiao Shen was also a cultural person and was very good at poetry and lyrics, otherwise he would not have been pleased by the untuned Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Liao Dynasty.

Yelu Hongji was very impressed by the prosperous culture and art of the Song State. Whenever Song State had good articles and good poems, he would inevitably send them to Shangjing and hand them over to the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty for his appreciation.

Among the literary workers who were like flowers in Song Ting, Yelu Hongji admired the most was this contemporary Su Dongpo, who praised his poems very much.

Even during the reign of Emperor Shenzong, Yelu Hongji had submitted a letter of state, hoping that Emperor Shenzong would allow Su Dongpo to serve as a mission to Liao Kingdom, so that he could meet the real person and have a romantic literary talent.

Although Shenzong did not agree in the end, Xiao Shen knew it, and Xiao Shen also envied Su Dongpo's talent. If he had half of Su Dongpo's talent, he would definitely be more prosperous in front of the emperor.
