Come to Song Dynasty with the system

Neither army moved, and the sun began to slowly set toward the mountain.

The third brigade commander Wang Cai, who was taking a break, was not resting. At this moment, he was talking to Hu Yanqing with a walkie-talkie.

"Have you completed the siege? I didn't bring anything with me. I'm very thirsty." Wang Cai spoke and licked his dry lips with his tongue.

"Okay, how much weight can a kettle have? Why did you, Wang Cai, just throw it away? Who is thirsty if you're not thirsty?" Hu Yanqing's loud voice immediately sounded on the other end of the intercom.

After hearing this, Wang Cai smiled awkwardly and said, "Isn't it that I'm thinking of throwing away everything, can I go faster?"

"Okay, you don't have to be too anxious. We can complete the detour in half an hour at most. Just wait." Hu Yanqing's voice sounded again, this time not to blame, but to comfort.

Hu Yanqing, like Wang Cai, did not bring the peasant soldiers of his own brigade, but came with 3000 or [-] regular soldiers.

Without the drag of peasants and soldiers, their speed would naturally be very fast, and they were now completing their purpose of detouring behind Xiao Guo's troops.

To say that these two people were also bold, various intelligence showed that Xiao Guo's [-] cavalry were clearly behind them and were rushing to join Xiao Guo, but they decided to concentrate their efforts on eating this group of Liao cavalry first.

Six thousand cavalry versus five thousand cavalry, there is an advantage in terms of strength, but it is not obvious.But the two brigade commanders still decided to implement the encirclement and annihilation plan.

This means that they are leading well-trained regular soldiers. If they are leading peasant soldiers, even auxiliary soldiers whose strength is close to that of regular soldiers, they may not be so bold.

It was because the two of them were brave enough that Xiao Guo never thought that the other party would attack him.

He stopped moving, and so did the three thousand dragon troops on the opposite side. Xiao Guo had never thought about whether the other side had also sent reinforcements.

But just thinking about it, he was not afraid.Behind them, General Xiao Yuan and his [-] main force were only a dozen miles away from them. With the speed of the cavalry, if they were fast, they could arrive in less than an hour.In such a short period of time, he didn't believe that anyone would dare to take action against him.

Besides, he also has a war horse. If he can't defeat him, won't he run away?

It was precisely because of this idea and the confidence that he saw that the dragon army on the opposite side had no intention of mounting their horses, so he did not order his soldiers to mount their horses and prepare for battle.Just spend it like this. The longer it takes, the more beneficial it will be to him.

Time passed by.Hu Yanqing said half an hour, it was half an hour. When he and the soldiers of the second brigade arrived behind Xiao Guo's cavalry smoothly, the sound of a report from the reconnaissance battalion also came from the headset.

The 10 cavalrymen led by Xiao Yuan were only half an hour away from them. If they ran faster, it would only be [-] minutes.

No matter half an hour or 10 minutes, it is not enough to annihilate five thousand Liao cavalry.

The reconnaissance battalion meant that it was best not to fight this battle. It was too risky. It was better to rendezvous with the third brigade first and wait for division commander Mu Huan to arrive with the main force of the division before looking for fighter opportunities.

"Okay, I already know the situation, but since they are all behind them, there is no reason not to fight." Hu Yanqing said into the headset.

Some people are born to eat war, and such people can only show their value on the battlefield.

Obviously, Hu Yanqing belongs to this kind of person.

"Everyone listens to the order and prepare to attack with all strength. Remember, kill as many enemies as you can in one moment. If you cannot annihilate them all, you must also severely damage the Liao army. Of course, it is best to annihilate them all."

After saying this to his soldiers, Hu Yanqing contacted Wang Cai and told him that the enemy's reinforcements would arrive in 10 minutes at the earliest, and that he was about to launch an attack with the second brigade.

"Two and 10 minutes. If we can't annihilate them all, we can still inflict heavy damage. Let's do it." Wang Cai agreed happily.

Sure enough, lunatics are not alone, they often appear in groups.

Speaking of which, being able to become a madman is not an ordinary person. At least they must have an obsession or a kind of self-confidence.

Just like the First Division of the People's Army, they usually have good food, good treatment, good equipment, and never stop training for a day.This was not easy at the time.

Military training requires huge military expenditures. Training is required every day. Over time, it will require an astronomical sum of money to support it.This is the reason why both Liao and Song Dynasties performed exercises every three to five days or even seven to ten days.

In peacetime, the army trains too frequently. When there is no war, it is of no value to them and will only waste more money.

When it comes to money, Dragon Empire has no worries.

Their Majesty can always get a lot of novel things, which are placed in various Chinese stores, which not only increases people's desire to buy, but also makes everyone's money back from him.

The reality is that there are no rich people in the Dragon Empire, just because there are too many good things. Although they make a lot of money, those novel things sell for higher prices.

This was also Su Shi's intention.

In his opinion, once people have a lot of money, they will lack the ambition to make progress, become greedy for life, and easily develop desires that they should not have.

Even so, taking out more things, emptying everyone's pockets, and then forcing everyone to make money has become a virtuous cycle.

After getting back to business, when Wang Cai learned that Hu Yanqing had come from behind, he gave an order and the soldiers of the third brigade quickly mounted their horses and prepared to charge towards the Liao army on the opposite side.

"There is movement in the Long Army."

The Liao army scouts who had been watching the third brigade immediately sent the news.

"Oh, what are they going to do? It's getting dark today. Our reinforcements will arrive soon. Are they trying to escape?" Xiao Guo was very puzzled after hearing the news.But he still ordered five thousand cavalry to mount their horses and prepare for battle.

As soon as the Liao army mounted their horses, Wang Cai's troops on the opposite side began to retreat slowly.

"They really want to escape, but they want to leave now. Isn't it a little late?" Xiao Guo had a proud smile on his face.

If the Dragon Army had wanted to retreat an hour ago, he would still have had a headache. After all, if he wanted to entangle the opponent, he would have to pay a huge price.

But now, reinforcements are about to arrive, which makes him confident. He will never give the other party a chance to escape. "Everyone, chase them, just entangle them, and when the general arrives, we will have accomplished a great feat."

After Xiao Guo shouted excitedly, he took the lead and rode away. Behind him, the five thousand Liao cavalry also began to gallop, looking like they were going to chase them to the end.

"Brigadier, they are indeed chasing us." Here in the third brigade, a guard soldier said with excitement.

"Hmph! Let them be proud first and let them chase. Then they will cry later. By the way, have the fire trenches behind us been dug?"

"Brigadier, we have already dug it and filled it with gasoline. I guarantee that it will be enough for them to drink a bottle." The guard soldier said excitedly.

"Very good. We will withdraw through the fire trench first, and then we will circle around and outflank them. I tell everyone to move quickly and not give the Liao Kingdom too much time to react." Wang Cai said firmly.

He won't really charge like a madman, that's not impossible, but the loss must be huge. In this case, even if he wins, he won't feel so proud.

What he wants is to obtain the greatest victory at the least cost. Retreating first, then blocking and outflanking is the main tactic he will use next.

How did Xiao Guo know this? What he saw was that Long Jun was trying to escape, that's all.

The five thousand Liao cavalry had recovered a lot of their physical strength after a period of rest.Seeing that the opponent was retreating again, his morale was naturally shaken, and his pursuit speed increased.

However, the Third Brigade of the First Division of the Dragon Army was not in a hurry. It was not the time to reveal their tactics yet, and the power of the horses' legs could not be wasted. Their slowness shortened the distance between them and the Liao cavalry chasing behind them.

It wasn't until the soldiers of the third brigade crossed the fire trench that they suddenly accelerated. One army divided into two, and began to outflank them from the left and right sides.

"Huh? What are they going to do?" Xiao Guo, who was galloping on horseback, saw the dragon army that was originally marching slowly gathered together and walked in the middle of the road, then quickly separated and came towards him, with that face. It's full of doubts.

Just when Xiao Guo still couldn't figure it out, a raging fire suddenly broke out more than a mile away, and a wall of fire formed again.

If you look carefully, you can still see an open space in the middle of the fire wall, which is the place where the soldiers of the third brigade passed just now. Obviously the fire trench is divided into two, separated by the middle, which is specially reserved for the Dragon Army soldiers to ride on horseback. Passed.

But now the wall of fire has appeared, and the open space in the middle is also extremely hot, making it impossible to rush through it no matter what.Especially war horses that are afraid of fire. They are unwilling to take a step forward even if they are beaten to death.

"No, turn the horse's head and retreat." Although he still couldn't figure out what Long Jun wanted to do, Xiao Guo already had a bad feeling in his heart, and he decided to leave here first.

It was only at this time that Xiao Guo thought of retreating. It was already too late.Just behind them, bursts of shouts of killing came, and Hu Yanqing was already rushing behind them with the second brigade with high morale.

Not only that, on their north and south sides, soldiers from the third brigade were also forming an encirclement.

As a result, dragon cavalry appeared one after another to the east, south and north of them, but not to the west, but there was a wall of fire, and the horses would not get close at all.

"Where did the dragon cavalry come from? Where did they come from?"

At this time, how could Xiao Guo not know that he was surrounded?

He knew the origins of the Dragon Army cavalry on the north and south sides. They were the enemies he was chasing, but what was the shouting of kill behind them?

Xiao Guo, whose face was full of panic, stopped his horse. When he was still in shock, he saw a scout coming to his side and said: "General, something bad has happened. There are many dragon cavalry behind us. Are we surrounded now?"
