Chapter 910 Where is the end of this war? (Second more)
Chapter 919

One hundred thousand Song troops are heading towards the left wing of the Shen Yong Army Division. If the left wing of the Shen Yong Army Division is lost, then the retreat of hundreds of thousands of Liao troops will be in danger of being cut off by the Song army.

Yelu Dezhang, the general of the reinforcement army, was also a man who knew the soldiers. When he learned that the Song army was approaching the left wing of the Shenyong Army Division, he made a decisive decision and sent [-] troops to the left wing for reinforcements.

But he led the army to temporarily stay in Xiazhou, and sent messengers to the ancient city of Wuyan where the Liaoxia coalition camp was located.

Looking at the letter from the reinforcement general Yelu Dezhang, Xiao Shen's expression was very ugly. "Song Ting actually dared to send troops to the left side of the Brave Army Commander. Aren't they afraid that our Daliao army will not go south?"

"Commander, this time, the people of Song Dynasty shamelessly imitated our method. They dispatched the imperial army from Bianliang to station on Hedong Road, and then dispatched a large army from Hedong Road to attack the Brave Army Division in the left chamber."

"In this way, it is really difficult for me, Daliao, to judge the reality of the fortresses of the Song Army. In addition, our soldiers and horses have just finished changing defenses, and it will take time to adjust. This gives Song Ting the opportunity to do so." The general who was ordered to die replied respectfully.

"It seems that the Song people have already known our Daliao's strategy, so they made such a response." Xiao Shen rubbed his brows and smacked his mouth.

"In addition, since General Dezhang has already sent reinforcements to the left wing of the Brave Army Division, that's all. Why did he stay in Xiazhou instead of coming south to join forces with me?"

"Commander, General Dezhang led the army to rush for more than ten days in a row, and the men and horses were exhausted, and then the army was reorganized in Xiazhou. As for the next step, please tell me, Commander."

"Let General Dezhang's troops divide into two groups, the one to come to Wuyan Ancient City to listen to the instructions, and the other to be led by him to cross the river through Xiazhou, enter the south bank of the Wuding River, and rescue Longzhou..." Xiao Shen glanced at the map After thinking for a long time, he issued a military order to Yelu Dezhang.

Rescuing Longzhou was not originally Xiao Shen's original intention, but in the imperial decree sent by the Emperor of Daliao, he clearly told Xiao Shen that he must try his best to keep the current Xixia territory and not lose it anymore.

It’s fine if you can’t attack for a long time, but you still lose ground again and again. .

However, Xiao Shen's goal has always been Hongzhou, but now Su Dongpo is firmly blocking him on the front line of Wuyan ancient city, making it difficult to make any progress.And Longzhou was attacked by the Song army again. If Longzhou is lost again, most of the land on the south bank and east bank of the Wuding River will fall into the hands of the Song people.

As for the fall of Shizhou, which is also located on the south bank of the Wuding River, it will inevitably become a matter of time.In this way, what is left of Xixia in the eastern region?
The left wing of the brave army must not be lost, the army's retreat is there, not to mention, Xixia has signed the letter of credence, allocating all the land hundreds of miles north of the left wing of the brave army to Liao.

Now the Liao Kingdom is fighting with Song Ting for the little brother of Xixia, and there is no way to take over that territory for the time being, so it is even more necessary to protect the outstanding part of the left wing, the Brave Army Division.

Although Yelu Dezhang's act of sending troops to reinforce the Brave Army Commander in the left wing made Xiao Shen, who is the commander of the first army, very upset, feeling that his authority as the commander was being challenged by the opponent.

But it's hard to say anything, after all, the other party is also acting according to His Majesty's will.However, Xiao Shen still decided to teach the other party a small lesson.That is to let him cross the Wuding River to rescue Longzhou.

It would be fine if he could save Longzhou, but if he failed to save Longzhou, then Xiao Shen would definitely conceive the memorial to impeach Yelu Dezhang in advance, so that he could have a good taste of my handsome literary talents and the power of swords and pens.

#####
Five days later, Yelu Dezhang led 3 horses and managed to cross the Wuding River.Gathered Renduo Zongbao's soldiers and horses, intending to save Longzhou.However, it was only a day into the south, and the news that Longzhou had been lost had already been received.

Zhe Kexing led the [-] Hedong Army to attack the Shenyong Army Division in the left wing. After learning that the opponent had a large army coming for reinforcements, he was very sensible and did not advance rashly. Instead, the army retreated to Linzhou, but he had no intention of withdrawing his troops.

The nearly 20 troops of the two sides stared at each other here.

To the west, after Baichi City was captured by the Song Army, Li Qianshun was so angry that he once again went berserk in the court and ordered that he be executed for his crimes. In the end, after Wei Ming A Wu's persuasion, he was finally killed. The duty is for the people.

After Ye Lihong gathered the defenders of Baichi City, he strictly implemented the instructions of Li Qianshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, and never went further east to provoke the Song army. Instead, he vigorously repaired the city defenses at Xiangqing Military Division. Efforts were made to repair this strong city like that of Youzhou, which could withstand repeated attacks by hundreds of thousands of troops.

In the south, the appearance of the Song army on Qinfeng Road also shocked Li Qianshun. Fortunately, although the two military divisions in the south are not strong, they have not suffered too much loss anyway, so facing the Song army, at least they rely on the city defense , Blocking the advance of the Song army.

As for the daily battles in front of the ancient city of Wuyan, the Song Army and the Liao Army seemed to have decided that this was the best stage, and they fought here every day until rivers of blood flowed.

The Song army did not retreat a single step, but the Liao army could not advance an inch.On the north side, Wang Daguan stood on the top of the city of Yuzhou every day, staring at Yelujinping's camp several miles away as if looking through the autumn water.

A whole month has passed, and Liao's reinforcements have also arrived for a whole month. Li Qianshun has changed from a boy chicken (pseudo) to a mature man who married the princess of Liao.

But in this war, no one seems to be able to see where the end is, where the spring is... It doesn't matter if it goes to winter.

#####
"How long will this war last? This bastard Xiao Shen wants people from me and soldiers from me, but what's the result? A month later, it's still like this, and even Longzhou was lost. If we don’t wait another month, we will lose even the heroic military division on the left side and the territory I just gained in Daliao?!”

Yelu Hongji was sitting behind the imperial case, but his anger made the whole hall full of smoke.All civil and military officials and workers all bowed to the ground, and no one dared to speak.

Yelu Hongji was really angry, why the fuck did he change coaches, and it was because his own brother couldn't get the situation started for a long time.For this, he even disregarded hurting his brotherhood, and personally ordered Yelu and Luwo to hand over the commander seal to Xiao Shen.

At least in Yelu Hongji's eyes, Xiao Shen, who is young, vigorous, enterprising, and well-known in the court, should be a good candidate for the coach. Handing him over to him should quickly open up the situation.Bringing back a city for Daliao, saving face, boosting Daliao's morale and military prestige, and making Song Ting tactfully bow his head and admit defeat.
