Section 133 Liu An, how are you?
Yelu Longqing felt huge pressure, and he guessed Liu An's tactics.
Just keep fighting.
Don’t seek big victory or defeat the enemy with one blow, just attack your own camp steadily, and then fight day and night until you are unable to fight again.
No matter who doesn’t sleep for days or nights, he can’t stand it.
There were only two ways before him. One was that he originally chose to defend, and then defeated Liu An. Then negotiate.
Another way he had to consider.
It's just a breakthrough.
Give up everything and lead your 20,000 elite soldiers to break through.
If you hold on like this, you will probably lose the energy to break through tomorrow.
But if you break through, what will happen to the three tribes of Bohai, Goryeo and Jurchens?
If the soldiers of the three tribes in his camp surrendered to Liu An, Liu An led them to attack Youzhou, and if Youzhou is still guarded or not, people's hearts have already dispersed.
Thinking of this, Yelu Longqing called the heads of the three tribes into his tent.
"Everyone, it's a dead end to defend like this. There is only one way to break through at the moment."
No one answered, and the three tribes were already afraid.
Yelu Longqing said: "Today, shrink your defense and you will defend with all your strength for one day. Give my elite troops a day to rest, and then in the evening, my 20,000 elite troops will lead the way. We will break through. This is the only way to survive."
The three clan leaders stood up to receive the order, but they had no choice but to not obey the order.
After the three tribes' chief general left, Yelu Longqing said to the person behind him: "Tong, I will leave you five thousand of my personal soldiers. You will lead all the Liao soldiers to attack from behind this evening and kill them all for me. They fought for a whole day in a row, and the evening was the worst physical strength."
Tong, whose full name is Yelu Tong, is the son of Yelu Xiuge.
Yelu Tong took a step forward: "Get orders."
He didn't ask why, but he knew that the order would definitely make sense.
Yelu Longqing knew very well that he could be defeated, but he could not let people know that he had left the soldiers of the three clans to escape.
When this matter was spread, the temporary alliance between the Great Khitan and the three tribes was defeated without any attack.
Yelu Longqing walked outside the camp, looked at the Song army flags all over the mountains from afar, and said to himself: "Liu An, you are so awesome."
By the way, Liu An could not think of Yelu Longqing's strategy to survive by cutting off his tail.
By noon, five thousand cavalry came from the south.
Shi Baoji arrived.
Shi Baoji saw the white cloth wrapped around the Song army's head, and then the central army set up a black flag. He knew that a general died in battle, but he didn't ask a word.
No matter who dies in battle, it doesn't matter.
At present, Liao Datong City is in the hands of Liu An, and Liao Yelu Longqing is surrounded by the Liao army camp that came to rescue Datong. This is the key point.
Shi Baoji did not see Liu An immediately, but walked around the front line of bloody battles, and then met Gao Qiong, She Taijun, Zhe Weichang, and Pan Luozhi, and then came to the high platform of the central army.
"Shi Er..." Liu An came forward and was about to comfort Shi Baoji, but saw Shi Baoji say urgently: "Please send an order quickly, and the entire army will stop attacking and defend on the spot."
"Transfer the order, the entire army will leave the battle formation, defend on the spot, and wait for the order."
Shi Baoji was stunned. He originally thought that Liu An had to ask at least a reason.
But Liu An just didn't ask.
Liu An believed in Shi Baoji. As one of the two most powerful commanders in the Song Dynasty at this time, Liu An absolutely believed in Shi Baoji's judgment.
Shi Baoji picked up Liu An's bowl and poured a few bowls of water. After saying to Liu An, "As for the situation in front of the formation, the soldiers of the Jurchens, Bohai and Goryeo tribes were fought. The main force of the Liao army did not go to fight. I asked Gao Qiong, and the war started yesterday until this morning, at least 70% of the Liao army were fighting."
"This, why is this?"
"I have been studying Yelu Longqing for a full ten years. I have been studying him since he guarded Youzhou. He was about to escape, and at this time he was retaining the combat power of the Liao army and waiting for an opportunity."
Liu An said anxiously: "Fortunately, Uncle Shi, you are here."
"No, let me think about it." Shi Baoji stood on the table of the Liberation Army newspaper and began to look through it quickly, saying, "Give me some food. My main force will not arrive tomorrow evening. I brought five thousand light cavalry to come first. I don't despise Gao Qiong. He must be better at guarding a city than me, but now he can't do it in a million troops."
Liu An immediately ordered to prepare the meal and then prepare a chair for Shi Baoji to sit on.
Liu An is not stingy. He really can't give him this chair. There are rules in everything.
Half an hour passed, Gao Qiong and Zhe Weichang both returned to the high platform of the Central Army. Shi Baoji then said, "I have two strategies. One is to keep the troops in motion and wait for two days first. But this kind of waiting will damage our army's morale, so we will continue to attack on small scales while waiting, but the scale must be small."
Gao Qiong asked: "Our army attacked for a company, and the Liao army could not defend for two days."
Shi Baoji shook his head: "I believe Yelu Longqing is ready to escape, so another strategy is to dig a trench."
“Dig a trench?”
"We have a lot of people to dig trenches, so we use the Liaoying circle to dig a ditch that is 1 zhang wide and two zhang deep, and then cut off the water source."
After Shi Baoji finished speaking, Liu An smiled: "It's not really digging, it's digging for Yelu Longqing to see, and then wait for his reaction. Then General Shi would like to tell his guess."
"Photo is that Yelu Longqing may want to break through with his elite guards after the three tribes die. With our current forces, we can surround him, but we can't stop his elite guards. You three thousand Modao can only be placed in one place. In the terrain here, he has at least ten routes to break through, and we don't have 30,000 Modao."
Liu An suddenly said, "Wait a minute, he wants all the soldiers of the three tribes to die?"
"Yeah." Shi Baoxing answered with certainty: "He dared not leave the three tribes behind after breaking through the siege, but these three tribes, especially the Goryeo and Bohai soldiers, were all infantrymen. They couldn't break out."
"Ah, there is one." Liu An slapped the table hard.
"Have it?"
"I have a trick. No matter whether he is true or false, I will hack him first."
A quarter of an hour later, all the loud soldiers pulled them to the front of the formation, and the huge copper trumpet was once again set up. The soldiers began to shout in Chinese, Bohai, Jurchen, and Goryeo.
The soldiers shouted: Brothers from Liaoying, listen, Yelu Longqing is a man with a bad character, I, Liu An, are just here to collect debts. He owes money and still wants to lead troops to attack me. Now he is going to be defeated, and he is ready to kill all the wounded soldiers, kill the Gaoli soldiers and Bohai soldiers without horses, and then flee by himself.
There were also soldiers shouting: Yelu Longqing was going to run away, let the brothers of Gaoli and Bohai fight to the death, and kill you all at night after being tired for a day. He was afraid that you would go back and spread the face of him, a shameless villain.
The soldiers were shouting, and then the Song army surrounding the Liao camp began to dig a trench.
