Chapter 886 Resisting Strong Enemies Under the Ancient City of Wuyan (Second Change)
Chapter 895

Such a person actually acted as the appeasement envoy of Shaanxi Road Economic Strategy, which made Xiao Shen very astonished at the time, but soon, Xiao Shen, who is well versed in conspiracy theories and conspiracy theories, understood Song Ting's thoughts.

Master Su's talk is so powerful that it makes the civil and military officials in the court unhappy, and they often fight with him in the court.But he won the favor of the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, who is actually in power in the Song court.

In order to protect this Su University scholar, Su Dongpo was thrown to Shaanxi Road as an economic pacifier because of the war between Shaanxi Road and Xixia, and Han Zhongyan, who was proficient in military strategy, was sent to assist him. .

As a result, it was luck like shit that happened to win a big battle. Afterwards, the stupid Xixia king, just as soon as he came to the court to take charge of the government, regarded the Liang army who was still in control of the military power as an enemy who wanted to overthrow it.

The result is self-evident, Liang Yibu, who has been in charge of Xixia power for so many years with his younger sister Xiaolianghou, immediately turned his back on the water for his own wealth and life, led more than [-] soldiers and horses to surrender to Song Ting, and sacrificed the land of two states , and joined forces with the Song army to take Yanzhou again.

And all of this happened at the right time. As the coach, Su Dongpo did nothing, and even made impressive achievements.

But in fact, these efforts have nothing to do with Su Dongpo's half a copper coin.According to the information obtained by the Liao Kingdom from the Song Dynasty, this Prime Minister Su listened more to the ideas of his generals.

To put it mildly, it means he is good at accepting advice; to put it unpleasantly, he means he has a soft ear and has no ability at all.

At least in the eyes of Xiao Shen and many Liao and Xia ministers, Su Dongpo was just a professional who took credit.

Therefore, when Xiao Shen heard that Su Dongpo personally led an army to help, he was not surprised but delighted.

#####
"It turned out to be the well-known Su University scholar, good, very good. If it is Han Zhongyan, I would hesitate for a while. Since it is the Su University scholar who came, then I must meet for a while..."

Not only did Xiao Shen's tone become more relaxed, but many of the generals present also showed disdain and beamed with joy.

The disdain is naturally for Su Dongpo, and the smile is naturally for the upcoming victory.

Compared with the Liao army with high morale, the Song army also had strong morale.Su Dongpo, who had already arrived at the ancient city of Wuyan with the boat, was standing on the wall of the ancient city of Wuyan, overlooking the more than [-] Liao soldiers.

Seeing the tent stretching to the sky, and the smoke billowing in the sun, even Su Dongpo, who had seen many battles, was still a little uneasy at this moment.

After all, in the previous battles, he always sat in the rear, so he hardly had time to be in front of the battle.But now, after receiving the news that the coach of the Liao Kingdom was heading south, Su Dongpo, who was stationed on the east bank of the Wuding River, knew that he should make a move.

Finally, before all the Liaoxia coalition forces gathered in the ancient city of Wuyan, all [-] reinforcements crossed the Wuding River, joined the defenders inside and outside the city, and formed a formation relying on the ancient city of Wuyan.

Zong Ze, who had been following Su Dongpo all this time, naturally sensed the worry looming on Su Dongpo's face, and couldn't help pointing to the Liaoxia coalition camp with a smile. "My lord, in the eyes of the lower officials, this Liaoxia coalition army is really nothing to worry about."

"Oh? What do you mean by Ru Lin's words?" Su Dongpo glanced around and saw that all the generals were scattered around the city. He didn't notice this side, and asked in a low voice.

"There is a saying in "On the War of Cao GUI" in "Zuo Zhuan: Zhuang Gong's Ten Years", which Su Xiang must have heard. 'Fighting requires courage. One burst of energy will weaken again, and three times it will be exhausted. When others are exhausted, I will be full, so Ke Zhi...'" Zong Ze looked at the more than [-] Liaoxia allied forces with an expression like a butcher sizing up a lamb to be slaughtered.

"When the Liaoxia Allied Forces first came, they were menacing, and they looked like they were swallowing up mountains and rivers, but who would have thought that hundreds of thousands of troops, just happened to be in the small Youzhou, where they were defeated by Master Xiao Wang with the power of a city. Stop this tiger and wolf teacher for more than a month?"

"The message from Mr. Xiao Wang clearly shows that this Liao-Xia coalition has lost its vigor after more than a month of fierce fighting. Moreover, there are serious internal contradictions. If it hadn't been for the severe suppression by the Liao prince, I'm afraid it would have It’s already been a mess.”

"Now they are changing their commanders before the battle. As the new commander, he will definitely remove the generals he trusts. In this way, there will be a new gap..."

"On the other hand, I, the Great Song Dynasty Tiger Guard, have fought against Xixia and conquered the three states since last year. I have won every battle and conquered every attack. Even if the Liao-Xia coalition forces came fiercely, Mr. Xiao Wang held off the enemy for more than a month with the power of one city. In the east, Prime Minister Su, you take Yinzhou lightly, and in the west, take the general Qingqi Jiancong, go deep into the hinterland of Xixia, destroy its royal tombs, and destroy its warehouse city."

"Under the ups and downs, the morale of our Great Song Dynasty is almost at its peak. On the other hand, the Liaoxia coalition forces have many internal conflicts. The goals of Xixia and Liao are not the same, and each tribe has selfishness. If there is a strong commander Forget it, I changed commanders just before the battle... just such an army is better than the mob in front of my big Song tiger."

Zong Ze's words quickly attracted the generals who were scattered around. After hearing this analysis, all the generals were deeply convinced, nodding their heads, and admiring the middle-aged civil servant even more.

To be able to see the situation of both the enemy and the enemy so thoroughly is really impossible.It is said that although Zong Ze is a civil servant, he has very insightful views on military strategy.

Even the generals present were convinced, and Su Dongpo listened to it like drinking old wine, enjoying it.

Seeing the generals who were eager to fight around him, and the soldiers not far away who were still able to talk and laugh in the face of so many enemy troops, Su Dongpo also felt that this battle should not be too big. The problem.

"As the saying goes, when water comes to cover, soldiers come to block it. Since the Liao Kingdom has disregarded morals and joined forces with the Xixia people to invade our Song territory, then I, the great Song tiger, must retaliate."

"I hope that the lords will do their best to stop the powerful enemy from under the ancient city of Wuyan."

"No!" All the generals accepted their orders generously.

Hundreds of thousands of troops will take Wuyan Ancient City as the center and launch the most massive battle since the Battle of Tanyuan, known in history as: The Battle of Wuyan Ancient City.

From the second day onwards, the Liaoxia Allied Forces launched a tentative attack on the ancient city of Wuyan, while the Song army relied on the ancient city of Wuyan to launch a tenacious counterattack.

The two sides began a fierce fight in the area of ​​Wuyan ancient city, and the battle was very fierce.Fifty miles to the west of Yuzhou City, [-] elite Song troops have quietly entered here, and are staring at the Liaoxia coalition forces outside Yuzhou City.

The tens of thousands of big song tigers in Youzhou City, while resisting the offensive of the enemy outside the city, are secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the chance of a fatal blow.
