This Song Dynasty is different

Chapter 60 The First Battle of the Great Song Dynasty’s ‘Famous General Seeds’
Li Xian hurried to the state government office, where Huang Ding and others were discussing.

"I have met the Marquis." Everyone saluted.

"How?" Li Xian asked.

"Thirty thousand people are attacking, and the vanguard is less than thirty miles away from Rouyuan Village." Huang Ding looked grim, "Rouyuan Village is a thorn in the side of the Western thieves. Li Deming has tried to remove this thorn in the side many times. This time, 3 troops are attacking. , it can be seen that it is inevitable to win.”

"What's the reason?" Li Xian sat down.

Huang Ding looked at him with a strange expression, "The people of Great Xia were ambushed and killed by Great Song."

"That's a secret spy." Wen Yanbo said politely, "The party envoy personally confirmed this matter. Isn't Li Deming planning to lose face?"

"Why do Western thieves want face?" Huang Ding said, "I have sent people to ask for help, and reinforcements to Rouyuan Village are urgently needed." He turned his eyes and looked at the civil and military officials under his command.

"This battle is not just an attack." General Judge Wang Yao said: "We must not allow the morale of the Western bandits' soldiers and civilians to rise."

Someone said: "But the Western Thieves said that the people were ambushed and killed by the Song Dynasty. This will definitely boost the morale of the Western Bandits' soldiers and civilians." As he said that, he glanced at Li Xian.

It was the work of this marquis to ambush party secret agents.

Logically speaking, it's your turn to clean up what you did!

Li Xian looked at the crowd, "This is my first time coming to the northwest. I thought that the civil and military officials in the northwest would be impassioned people. I didn't expect to see the impassioned people. They are like flies and dogs. It's disgusting to be timid and withdrawn."

Everyone's expressions changed. Li Xian didn't wait for them to speak. He stood up and said, "I have an official order here, so I can do it cheaply. Assemble 5000 men and horses, and I will go to Rouyuan Village!"

Zhao Zhen, who was far away in Bianjing, sneezed and glanced at the Queen Mother who was discussing political affairs with the ministers and ministers. She felt a little guilty for no reason.

Before Li Xian left, he asked him to get an order for him to do something cheap. Zhao Zhen did not tell the Queen Mother about this.

But how could the Queen Mother not know? What Zhao Zhen didn't know was that the Queen Mother had all traces erased afterwards to ensure the legitimacy of this decree.

"Official!" The Queen Mother gave him a majestic look.

Zhao Zhen quickly picked up the wat tablet and said with a straight face, "This matter is important, I think it should be implemented immediately."

……

With the decree in hand, Qingzhou Civil and Military Forces could not vent their grievances and could only watch Li Xian lead 5000 troops out of the city.

"You didn't say anything to dissuade me."

On top of the city, Huang Ding said.

Wang Yao, the general judge, smiled and said, "Li Deming's counter-argument is clear, that is, the princes in the temple are deceiving themselves. After a long time, they really thought that this was the prosperous age of the Song Dynasty. It would be good for this prince to go and see. As long as he If I can tell the court about Northwest's embarrassment, then the hardships I have endured all these years will not be in vain."

Huang Ding said faintly: "All the princes in the temple want peace in the world. Once a fight starts, no matter whether it is justified or not, they will first scold you for not starting a fight. If you win, you will be scolded, and if you lose, you will be beaten."

……

In Rouyuan Village, inspector Yang Chengji stood at the top of the city, looking at the enemy troops all over the mountains and plains, and sighed: "How could I do such a thing."

He looked around and saw that the soldiers looked a little depressed.

"Inspection, morale is not right." Someone reminded.

"Look for an opportunity to fight and seize the enemy first!" Yang Chengji sneered: "Li Deming came from afar and his army is so powerful that he must have thought that our army would not dare to attack. In addition, his footing is not stable, and if we wait for our army to attack tomorrow, his morale will be defeated in one battle."

When Dangxiang's army arrived, they first showed off their power and then retreated to camp.

"The guard is Yang Chengji." The spy was reporting, "This person is a bit stubborn in his behavior..."

"Self-righteous?" Li Yuanhao was keenly aware of the opportunity.

"Yes." The spy said: "There are many ethnic groups living together in Rouyuan Village. Whenever there is a fight between people, Yang Chengji will put it down, regardless of whether it is right or wrong. Even if he knows who he has wronged afterwards, he will not admit his mistake."

"Your Majesty." Li Yuanhao said: "In this case, I thought I could show weakness and expose my flaws. Yang Chengji is reckless and will definitely take action. In this way, ambush with troops..."

He looked at the officials and generals, "The Great Song Dynasty ambushed my spies, our army ambushed the Song army, drank and pecked, and reported to the world. When the news spreads, our army and people in Great Xia will definitely be enthusiastic."

These words not only arranged the beginning and end of this battle, but also extended the results of this battle to the height of people's morale. This overall view...

Everyone's eyes were filled with brilliance, and some people praised: "The prince Yingguo is admirable."

Li Deming looked at his son approvingly, "It's not good to provoke the Song Dynasty too much at the moment. After a few years, I will make Yuan Hao the crown prince."

Everyone congratulated.

It was night, and the Dangxiang Camp seemed a bit noisy.

The defenders at the top of the city discovered this phenomenon and reported it to Yang Chengji.

"This is an opportunity, attack tomorrow!"

The next morning.

Mist curled up and enveloped this rugged land.

A thousand cavalry quietly left the city.

Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, the scouts detoured from the side hillsides and surrounded the Western bandit scouts, allowing the cavalry to successfully reach the outskirts of the camp.

Yang Chengji looked at the unresponsive camp in front of him, feeling ecstatic in his heart.He slowly drew his sword, pointed it at the camp, and shouted: "This is the day to make great achievements, sons and daughters, kill them!"

A thousand cavalry followed with shouts and rushed towards the camp.The cavalry in front threw out the noose and tied the fence. More than ten cavalrymen galloped together to pull up the fence.

The cavalrymen were overjoyed when they saw that there was still no response from the camp.

Great work!

The sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the right side.

In the camp, Li Yuanhao's eyes were slightly cold, "Someone started early, damn it!"

This is a credit grab!

Dangxiang was originally formed by the gathering of various tribes, and there are many hills.Li relied on his prestige to intimidate all the ministries. In addition, he was surrounded by wolves. If he wanted to save his life, he had to stick together.Therefore, Dangxiang is more united than the Song Dynasty and the Northern Liao Dynasty.

But there is no way to stop fighting for merit.

Yang Chengji, who was in ecstasy, turned his head and saw a group of cavalry coming out from the right side.His soul was so strong that he shouted: "This is a trap, retreat! retreat!"

In the camp, Li Yuanhao shouted: "Put up the flag."

Many years later, during the Battle of Haoshuichuan, he shouted so loudly that he ordered people to put up a big flag on the hillside and command his subordinates from a high position to intercept and kill the Song Dynasty soldiers who were counterattacking.

That battle left Han Qi speechless.

The generals under his command looked at Li Deming.

This is the order and cannot be wrong.

Li Deming smiled and said: "Listen to Yuan Hao."

The flag waved and the ambush troops came out.

Li Deming said: "The eradication of Rouyuan Stronghold has been my king's wish for many years. If we succeed this time, we can not only seize a huge amount of supplies in Rouyuan Stronghold and replenish our Daxia army. We can also make good progress and retreat at the same time."

Li Yuanhao nodded, "That old beggar in Bianjing is timid. No matter how provocative our Daxia warriors are, they dare not attack with a large army. However, the Western Army still has some blood, otherwise our army will sweep through the northwest of the Song Dynasty and establish An inheritance that lasts forever.”

Once the northwest of the Song Dynasty is obtained, the Dangxiang people will expand to the point where they can be on par with the Northern Liao and the Song Dynasty.

At that time, advance and attack the Song Dynasty.If you retreat, you can sit on the mountain between the Song Dynasty and the Northern Liao Dynasty and watch the tiger fight.

This is the eternal foundation!

Li Deming breathed rapidly for a moment and looked at his subordinates. Most of them had flushed faces and were extremely excited.

"Back then, our ancestors were struggling to survive under the threat of the Tang Dynasty. We never thought that many years later we would have the opportunity to attack and divide the Central Plains. Times have changed, and it can be said that things come and go! Hahahaha!" an old nobleman shouted loudly. laugh.

Amidst the laughter, the mist gradually faded away.

A cavalryman came to report, "Report, Your Majesty, we are about to surround Yang Chengji."

"Okay!" Li Deming held up his hands and smiled, "It's settled!"

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of drums came from a distance, which was a bit monotonous, but in everyone's ears, they couldn't help but think of countless armies charging towards them.

The sound of horse hooves shook the earth, and the birds that got up early to look for food flew around in panic.

Li Deming's expression changed, "It's an ambush!"

"No, it's reinforcements!" Li Yuanhao frowned.

Far to the left of the camp, more than a dozen riders rushed out of the skyline, riding their horses and looking at this side.

"Expel them!" General Dangxiang took the lead and attacked first, almost missing Yang Chengji. At this moment, he had to make up for his mistake, otherwise Li Deming would not be able to spare him.

Hundreds of cavalrymen rushed over, but the dozen or so cavalrymen did not retreat but advanced. The leader even rolled on his horse.The superb equestrian skills made the colleagues cheer.

"Siege and kill them!"

the party members chanted.

Someone shouted: "Look!"

Everyone looked up and saw a large flag slowly emerging from the end of the sky.

"What is it?"

"It's Li Ziqi!"

Yang Chengji, who was desperately trying to escape with his men, heard the sound of drums. He stood up on his horse and looked into the distance, and saw a Yang-character flag coming slowly from a distance.

"It's reinforcements!"

At this moment, despair dissipated, and many soldiers' eyes became hot.

Li Xian on horseback was a little confused at the moment.

Since leaving Bianjing, he has been 'discussing' the art of war with the accompanying generals, which is actually learning.He has a vision that transcends a thousand years, and from time to time he comes up with a few "golden sentences" that astonish the generals.

In addition, Cao Wei praised him as the seed of a famous general, so the soldiers regarded this behavior as smooth.

At this moment, they looked at Li Xian with confidence, waiting for the famous Song Dynasty general Seed to give orders.

Don't panic!
Calm down!

Li Xian tried to calm himself down.

"Master Hou, more than [-] enemy troops are killing the defenders of Rouyuan Village outside the camp. There are many people in the camp. At least [-] people can be seen. Please give me your instructions, Master Hou!"

The subordinates have clearly introduced the situation between the enemy and ourselves, and the rest is command.

Facing the trusting eyes of pairs of eyes, Li Xian suddenly felt heartbroken.

The so-called command, apart from the familiarity with the army, isn't it just the conflict between the two generals?

After setting off from Bianjing, he continued to become familiar with the composition of the army and various changes.

This is the time to be jealous.

The enemy set a trap.If you successfully surrounded and killed the defenders, you would definitely be overjoyed.When he arrived with reinforcements, the enemy's morale must have been low, while the morale of the defenders was greatly boosted.

One thing is going down, the other is going up, the general trend is mine.

However, according to reports from the Imperial City Department, Li Deming sent [-] troops this time.

The garrison was one thousand, and he took with him 5000 men and horses.

Six thousand versus thirty thousand.

Only the best of the best can retreat calmly.Otherwise, this battle will be lost!

He looked carefully and saw that there was a hint of fear in the seemingly trusting eyes of his subordinates.

Where are the enemy generals?
"If the enemy is weak, they will retreat slowly!"

Outside the camp, Li Deming said calmly.

This is the self-confidence that comes from years of fighting... In the past, whenever the Song people were at a disadvantage, they would always retreat.

On the opposite side, Li Xian ordered: "Three hundred war horses are galloping back and forth dragging branches behind them. Go quickly!"

Three hundred horses followed the order and left.

"Two hundred people were shuttling back and forth in the forest on the right, alerting the birds!"

"Leader!"

No one knew what he was going to do.

But seeing more and more enemy troops gathering, I couldn't help but panic.

Thirty thousand versus six thousand, this battle is impossible!

Li Xian rode out, "No one can follow."

He just slowly rode out into battle.

The party members on the opposite side were puzzled and reported it to Li Deming urgently.

"Oh! Look!"

Li Deming rode over with more than a hundred people.

"That's Li Xian!" He was accompanied by an entourage from the previous mission, gritting his teeth.

Opposite him, Li Xian smiled and waved.

"Lao Li, come and have a cup of tea! We two brothers have a good time chatting."

What does this mean?

Is this person not afraid of death?
Everyone has this question.

"Capture him!" Li Yuanhao's eyes lit up.

At this time, smoke and dust rose in the distance.

Looking at it, there seemed to be countless people and horses moving around.

"Look at the woods on the left!"

Everyone looked around and saw birds flying in the forest on the left.

"It's an ambush!"

A general exclaimed.

It's a trap!
Li Deming's expression changed drastically.
