Come to Song Dynasty with the system

Chapter 866: Forced into the palace

On the north tower of Anzhou City, the peasants and soldiers quickly began to gather, placing various things to defend the city.

Various boulders, sleepers, gold soup (human excrement), and arrows were moved on the tower to prepare for the battle to defend the city.

The order in the city has basically returned to normal. When the First Division of the People's Army took out the food from the station and distributed it to the people in the city in the form of giving porridge, it immediately gained some support from the people.

If there is no danger in the city, Master Mu Huan can lead his soldiers to guard the city wholeheartedly.

Originally, the Yi family's old house occupied a large area and became the temporary headquarters of the First Division of the People's Army. At this time, Commander Mu Huan was convening his generals for a meeting here.

"First of all, let me tell you a piece of news. Your Majesty is already aware of what is going on here, and is coming to us with the Black Cavalry Reinforcement Regiment and the Second Dragoon Brigade. But before His Majesty arrives, our responsibility is to defend Anzhou. city, and find ways to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, and finally lay a good foundation for His Majesty's arrival to severely damage the Liao army attacking the city."

Mu Huan spoke first and set the general policy. Then he glanced at everyone and said, "You can put forward any good opinions you have now."

Long Jun has always advocated democracy and emphasized democratic centralism.

That is, before the war begins, everyone can put forward their opinions.But once the opinions are unified, everyone must fully implement the plan regardless of whether they agree with it or not.

"Commander, do you mean that we should first severely damage the Liao army attacking the city, and then give His Majesty the opportunity to come and kill the enemy?" Hu Yanqing asked.

"Not bad." Mu Huan nodded.

"That's the case, then we have to show our weakness to the enemy. We can't be too tough when defending the city. We have to give the enemy hope. Only when they see hope will they attack the city with all their strength and achieve the goal of severely damaging them." Hu Yanqing continued talking.

"Yes, what the deputy commander said is absolutely true. If we don't give the enemy any hope when we come up, I'm afraid the Liao army won't attack the city too hard, and in this way we won't be able to achieve the purpose of severely damaging them." Third Brigade Commander Wang Cai also hurriedly spoke in agreement.

"Well, I understand what you two are saying. This is indeed a good idea, but if the enemy really rushes onto the tower, can we guarantee that they will not enter the city?" Mu Huan clicked first. He nodded and then spoke in a questioning tone.

"There is no problem with this. We can let the auxiliary peasant soldiers defend the city, and then arrange the auxiliary soldiers and peasant soldiers behind. Once the city is in danger, our regular army will directly attack it. This way we can ensure that the city is not lost." Hu Yanqing continued to speak. .

Brigadier Wang Cai also did his part, and then added: "We can send a small number of soldiers to defend the city first. Once there is danger, a large number of soldiers will fight out and we will be safe."

Seeing that the two generals under his command were so confident.Mu Huan simply nodded and said: "That's very good. Let's settle the matter like this. You all go down and make arrangements. It is estimated that the enemy will reappear under the city early the day after tomorrow, with 10,000+ Liao troops. At that time, it will be There will definitely be a bloody battle."

Speaking of these words, Mu Huan's eyes were full of high fighting spirit.This time, the first division of their people's army charged the hardest and killed the most enemies. Presumably after this battle, their first division's reputation was completely established, and future enemies would not dare to underestimate it.

"Hahaha." Hu Yanqing and Wang Cai couldn't help laughing when they heard this.As soldiers, what they are least afraid of is going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Anzhou City is making preparations for various city defenses. A hundred miles away, Longshi Emperor Su Shi is galloping towards here with his own guard regiment and a reinforced black cavalry regiment.

To be precise, the guard group around Su Shi can be called an enhanced guard group. The total number of people in the group is three thousand, which is no different from an ordinary brigade.

The number of people has been increased, but the combat effectiveness has not been tripled.Just when the armies began to expand a while ago, some elite veterans of the guard regiment were assigned to serve as the backbone of the armies. The best among them were directly promoted from soldiers to battalion commanders, company commanders and other positions.

Some backbones were missing. After some discussion between Ji Zhu and Fang Jiugui of the military department, considering the importance of Su Shi's safety, they selected some soldiers from various armies to join the guard regiment. The number of soldiers increased instead of decreasing. It's just that many of them are new recruits without much combat experience.

After the new recruits of the guard regiment were reported, Su Shi immediately reviewed them, mainly because he wanted to use the system's ability to check the loyalty of these people.

As people who follow them at any time, if they have second thoughts, the destructive power they can produce is too astonishing.The results of the inspection made Su Shi very satisfied. The whole group of 3000 people had their heads red.

Soldiers only need to be loyal. As for combat experience, they can be trained later. Su Shi is still very confident about this.In particular, every soldier of the guard regiment wears three layers of stab-proof clothing. Therefore, unless they are extremely unlucky, it will not be so easy for the enemy to kill them.

With three thousand soldiers from the guard regiment, plus two thousand black cavalry, a total of five thousand cavalry ran like flying, heading straight towards Anzhou.

In addition, the Second Brigade of the Dragoon Army is also coming here. Judging from the speed, both sides should reach Anzhou City in one day.

This time, the Liao Kingdom sent an additional [-] elite troops to counterattack Anzhou, and Su Shi still attached great importance to it.

Although the Dragon Army led by Su Shi fought many victorious battles along the way, there were still very few battles with more than [-] troops in one battle.

Su Shi would always work hard to seize the opportunity to severely damage the enemy.Just like this time, although the Long Army was only half the opponent in terms of military strength, Su Shi was still full of confidence and believed that they would win this time.

"Your Majesty, the scouts have just sent news that the Liao Kingdom's reinforcements have begun to accelerate, and they will arrive in Anzhou City in only one day." Lou Yang stood by and told Su Shi the intelligence he had just received. Made a report.

"I know." Su Shi's expression remained unmoved.He knew that he was now the backbone of the entire army, and no matter what situation he encountered, he could not be the first to cause chaos.Not to mention, everything that happened was completely within his expectation.

"Tell the scouts to carefully explore the situation in Tongzhou and the transportation situation and specific location of the other party's grain and grass supplies, and report them as soon as possible after getting the news." Su Shi rode on the white horse and gave an order to Lou Yang on the side.

In this battle, Su Shi adopted the strategic thinking of beheading, removing the tail, and sweeping the center.

Beheading refers to using Anzhou City as a solid defense line and allowing the Liao army to attack, causing the opponent's head to be bruised and bloody.

To begin with, we want to see if there is any chance to threaten Liaozhou's security. It would be best if we could break into the city. Even if we can't, we should create some noise there and let Yi Yangxian know about it so that he doesn't have any intention. Fight with the Dragon Army.

To sweep the target, you need to take advantage of the opponent's military morale to be confused and retreat in a large scale to cover up and attack.

With real-time communication capabilities, Su Shi believed that he could do this.As long as [-] Liao troops are severely damaged, the Liao army's massive counterattack can be contained. Then there will inevitably be a confrontation. At that time, it will be the time for the entire army to recuperate.

The physical strength of the soldiers is limited, and it is impossible to kill without limit. This requires sufficient rest time. This is also the shortcoming of the dragon army being too small in number.

As for whether the Liao army will give them time to prepare, hasn't there been news from Shangjing City?Calculating the time, Yelu Hongji, a rebellious person, will take action early tomorrow morning.

Once civil strife breaks out in Liao, Su Shi believes that they will not have much energy to deal with themselves. This is the best time for the Dragon Army to prepare.

As Su Shi thought, Yelu Hongji was busy in Shangjing City nervously. The person who came to his mansion this time was Yelu Angkor, the great leader of the Liao Kingdom.

Speaking of Yelu Angkor, he is really a typical drunkard.It was just because he was born well, that is, he was guilty of eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. It was also because he was the younger brother of the Fourth Emperor. Over the years, no one dared to speak out about what he had done.

If such a person lived in an ordinary family, he would have died countless times.

This time Yelu Zhongyuan came to him because he wanted to seek his support.

It is true that Yelu Angkor's own strength is mediocre, but his noble status cannot be matched. With the support of such a person, it is equivalent to getting the support of the orthodox. With his help, he will naturally gain a certain advantage in public opinion.

The most important thing is that Yelv Angkor is Yelu Hongji's uncle. If he also objects, does that prove that Yelu Hongji is unpopular?

In the past two days, Yelu Angkor was originally in a very depressed mood. When he thought about having to obey the order and open the warehouse to stockpile grain tomorrow, he couldn't get angry at all.He hated, hated his nephew, why did he want to operate on him?

There are so many veterans in the court, why don't they deal with others but themselves?

Is it because he looks easy to bully, or is it because his nephew wants to scare the monkeys?

It is true that Yelu Angkor has no ambition, but he still has a good vision. He can see that this is his nephew who wants to establish his authority.It's just that he was unlucky to be the chicken who was about to be killed.

I feel bad that if I want to take the lead in opening a warehouse to put food in, it would be equivalent to giving away the benefits of my own initiative. If it were anyone else, I am afraid that no one would be happy.It was at this time that Xiao Hui, the privy envoy of the South Academy, found him and took the initiative to say that he had a way to avoid losses, but he had to take a certain risk.

Is Yelu Angkor afraid of risks?

As the fourth brother of the current emperor, he certainly wasn't afraid. What he was most afraid of was that the money in his hands would fly away.At that moment, on Xiao Hui's suggestion, he came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion, met Yelu Chongyuan, and then heard about the forced palace.
