Outside the gate of Wuqing City, Zhao Zi, Dou Shunqing, Liu Jianji, Zhang Ji, Jia Kui, Jingtai, Ma Huaide, Li Weixian, Shisanlang, Liu Huan and Yao Shouxin and other army commanders, as well as most of the subordinate commanders, were there to welcome the commanders.

When Zhao Zhen arrived outside the city gate, the military music sounded and the generals sang promises. Although the etiquette was deleted a lot during the war, it was still very complicated and complicated.

After entering Wuqing County, when he arrived at the yamen, Zhao Zhen arrived at the main seat of the official hall.

There were so many people coming in in a day, and they could hardly be able to hold on and were crowded. Zhao Zhen said a few casually and ordered the commanders of each army to stay, and the rest would go back for now. Tonight, the county town held a banquet to entertain these generals.

When he arrived at the Houya, Zhao Zi had already chosen a big house as the command center and was ready to take the people. The war was about to start tomorrow. Zhao Zhen brought the generals to the house to listen to Zhao Zi report on the combat plan.

Pointing to the sand table on the table, Zhao Zi said: "There are now 260,000 troops here. In addition, there are about 110,000 signing troops. Recently, there are shortage of food, and many signing troops have been voted over, and most of them have been put back in their hometowns. In addition, the Khitan killed about 20,000 signing troops in the name of strict military discipline. Therefore, their signing troops are not considered combat power."

Zhao Zhen said: "We are now more than 500,000 troops, with sufficient manpower, so it is better to have enough."

Zhao Zi said: "Your Majesty is. When we are planning, the signing army is still included, and the military strength is sufficient. The Khitan military camp is arranged, with the palace army in Yelu Hongji, two units of Guni and Dielide on the left, and the Xi army led by Xi Maliu on the right. Due to insufficient military rations, the Xi army was filled with people. Xi Maliu once sent people to surrender."

Zhao Zhen nodded: "After all, the Xi clan is not a Khitan. It is common for you to think about yourself at this time. How did you reply?"

Zhao Zi said: "Xi Maliu is not determined, he is just a temptation and has not talked about anything. At that time, he has to attack, and there is no need to consider whether the Xi army will surrender. Several armies advance together and eliminate all the Khitan troops. These days, the Khitans have been killing horses and serving military rations, and there has been no horse materials in the army. It is estimated that their cavalry has no horses."

Zhao Zhen frowned when he heard this: "The cavalry has no horses, so what kind of combat power there is? The horse bows used by the Khitans are far inferior to those of the stairs bows and do not ride horses, and their combat power is numerous. In this way, tomorrow should be easy."

Zhao Zi said: "We use guns and cannons, and what weapons the Khitans use has no effect. However, without horses, the combat power is indeed much worse than before. According to our estimates, as long as one day tomorrow and three days earlier, all the Khitan troops can be eliminated here."

After saying that, Zhao Zi pointed to the sand pan and said, "I have discussed with the generals these two days and arranged it roughly in this way. The two armies of Dou Shunqing and Liu Jianji in the north and Liu Huan in the south, with a total of 150,000 troops to attack Yelu Hongji's central army. Yelu Hongji's palace army is about 80,000, which is the most elite Khitan army and the most important target of our battle. On the left, Jingtai's troops cooperated with Ma Huaide and Li Weixian's troops to attack Guni and Dielide. On the left, there are about 120,000 Khitans, and the number is the Khitan army.

The one with the most teams. However, they fought with Ma Huaide and Li Weixian's troops many times, and were defeated repeatedly, so it would not be difficult to fight. On the right, Zhang Ke and Jia Kui troops, with a total of 80,000 troops, attacked the Xi army. The Xi people had about 80,000 troops, and the military rations were insufficient for a long time. Most of the troops were killed in Ma's troops, and their combat power was insufficient. Although it was 80,000 to 80,000, the dynasty still had the upper hand. Wu Song in the south and Zhang Yu in the north had a total of 100,000 cavalry, cruising on the periphery, guarding against various accidents. Wherever there was a difficulty, go wherever you could help."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Where are the artillery soldiers from Yao Shouxin's troops who came a few days ago? How to put them in the process?"

Zhao Zi said: "We have discussed that the strongest Khitan was Yelu Hongji Palace Army. Although there were only 80,000 people, it was not comparable to other troops. Therefore, all thirty invincible thunderbolt chariots were used to attack the middle road. Half of the cannons in Gongsheng were also used in the middle road. The remaining half were two left and right sides."

Du Zhongxiao thought for a while and said, "The most important thing in this battle is artillery. If the artillery is used well, there will be little casualties and you will be able to win."

Zhao Zi nodded: "We think so too. Tomorrow's attack, we will first press the Khitans to an area about five miles wide by the cover of infantry. We will set up artillery positions and fire at them. Then the infantry advanced, and the artillery slowly stepped forward, and finally let the Khitan army all be at the artillery range."

Zhao Zhen said: "Human life is at stake. If you can win with cannons, you can use more cannons. There are so many cannons in Gong Shengjun, so you have to use them."

Han Qi said: "The Khitan's trip south was not as good as expected. There were quite a few artillery shells, gunpowder, etc. After this battle, there may not be such a battle for a long time, so it would be a pity. In the battle tomorrow, try to use more artillery shells and gunpowder."

Zhao Zi said: "This battle arrangement is mainly for artillery. The main purpose of the artillery position is to protect the artillery position from being disturbed by the enemy."

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Yao Shouxin asked to come forward and explain the detailed arrangements of time and day. The artillery of the Gongsheng Army and the artillery of each army were mixed, and the battlefield was centered on the artillery position. Each artillery was numbered one by one, its respective position, how to move, which infantry cooperated, and how to advance forward. The advancement of each artillery became the plan of the entire battle.

It was the first time that Han Qi, Song Xiang and others saw such a detailed battle plan, and they were enjoying it. They couldn't see the meaning of each step, but they just felt it was lively and very powerful. Du Zhongxiao and Fu Bi knew a lot about the war and carefully reviewed it.

Zhao Zhen personally fought, and Zhao Zi worked very hard this time. He thought about every step carefully and took it in detail, so that even those who were not familiar with the war could understand it. The position of each army and what to do was clearly understood.

In fact, the battle plan that Zhao Zi made was to go into detail with the actions of each division. However, today we will mainly talk about it and just talk about it roughly. If we talked too much about the specific actions, Zhao Zhen did not understand it, and it would make him feel upset.

After everything was said, Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, I will fight according to this tomorrow. In this battle, we will destroy the Khitan army here!"

Du Zhongxiao, Han Qi and others said it was a loud voice and looked extraordinary.

After saying all this, Du Zhongxiao said, "Your Majesty, since Zhang Ji entered Wuqing, the people in the city were very happy and helped our army in many ways. Your descendant, you can go out to meet the elders in the city to calm the people's hearts. I will discuss the war tomorrow with Zhao Zi and others in detail."

Zhao Zhen knew in his heart that he was not familiar with the war and just watched the fun. He was here, and Du Zhongxiao was inconvenient to tell many things. He did not refuse, and brought Song Xiang and a group of ministers accompanying him out of the official hall and met the people of the city.

When Zhao Zhen and others went out, Du Zhongxiao said to Han Qi: "My grandpa, tomorrow's battle will be related to the destiny of both countries, so don't be careless. Zhao Zi just said the general idea, and next, we will take a closer look."

Han Qi bowed: "The Taiwei is the head coach of this battle, so he should examine their plans in detail."

Du Zhongxiao smiled: "When I was in the Tianxiang Army in Suizhou training camp, I asked to plan ahead and summarize afterwards, and the army must do it. After many years, they have also been accustomed to it. Whether the plan is good or not, it is related to the war. If you do well, all the troops know what they should do in war, how to deal with accidents. If you do not do well, the troops will be at a loss when they go to the battlefield and are in chaos."

On Hequ Road, Han Qi had fought with Dangxiang with Yingtianxiang Army. He was familiar with Du Zhongxiao's command of the war. He also entered the court with the merits of that battle. However, over the years, many things in the army have been changed, but they are not familiar with them.

Du Zhongxiao turned around and said to Zhao Zi: "I won't say much about the importance of tomorrow's battle, I will only talk about the principles that must be paid attention to. First, no matter whether this battle is alive or dead, you must hold Yelu Hongji. Whether he runs away or can't find anyone, it is not allowed. Second, you must give full play to the role of artillery and use it to the extreme. If you can use artillery, you don't have to fight infantry, try to get artillery. Third, Wu Song and Zhang Yu, the two cavalrymen on the periphery must block the battlefield and will never allow the Khitans to escape."

Zhao Zi sang the promise with his hands.
