Chapter 898

At the same time, Zhong Shidao led 20,000 elite cavalry and had quietly swam to the hilly area northwest of Youzhou. Zhe Keshi led 30,000 infantry with a resentful face, struggling toward Xidaying outside the city of Youzhou, which was still more than 20 miles away.

The reason for this arrangement is that these two military bosses got the task of winning and losing by playing rock-scissors. The winner led the iron cavalry, and the loser led the infantry.

However, Zhe Keshi thought that when he was jumping up and down in the hinterland of Xixia, it was because of the hard work of Master Zhong, who had used his strength to hold up Renduo Zongbao's army, that he could jump alive for so many days and easily withdraw from the battlefield.

Since that's the case, this battle made Zhong Shidao feel so good at all, it was a reward for his love for his comrades.

As the hour of Mao was approaching, 30,000 infantry finally ambushed behind a ridge seven miles away from Xidaying in Youzhou. The whole army leaned back behind the ridge and snored loudly. Only Zhe Keshi and others still had to estimate the early morning route on the ridge.

After all, this place is still a little far from the camp, but fortunately, the scout cavalry sent out finally contacted the cavalry led by Zhong Shidao. After discussion, the two sides determined that once the battle between the East Gate would begin, the infantry would move to the foot of the mountain to assemble first.

Then head towards Xidaying in advance. About two miles away from Xidaying, Zhong Shidao ambushed 20,000 elite cavalrymen raided in the northwest direction and then attacked Xidaying.

Of course, by this time, their strategy could no longer be transmitted to Youzhou City for Wang Yang to know.

However, General Zhao's return greatly increased his confidence in Wang Yang, Zhong Shihe and others. Wang Yang trusted the integrity of the two veteran drivers, Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao. As long as they had received military orders, they would definitely overcome difficulties to reach the designated attack location.

"Sir, you really don't need to send someone to contact them anymore?" Gao Shize was still worried, always thinking that such intermissions from both sides were really unreliable.

"No, I believe that the two generals will definitely reach their position. Tomorrow, as long as the East Gate battle is together, they will definitely try to attack Xidalao."

"Okay, everyone should disperse quickly, rest early and maintain their energy. In the battle tomorrow, it will be the opportunity for our elite troops in Youzhou to escape the shallows and the tigers leapt on the flat sun."

The next day, after noon, a rain passed by, and the afternoon became extremely cool. Just outside the city, the Liaoxia coalition forces felt the rare coolness of summer and were preparing to have a lunch break. The sound of war drums once again made Yelu Jinping run to the village wall with great pain. However, when he saw the Song army, he once again started to line up along the solid wall of Yuzhou City from both sides of the urn city.

The enemy formed a formation again, and the important thing was that he wanted to observe it and see what happened. After seeing the opponent's troops pouring out from the wall city, the number was at least 20,000, his face finally changed.

Immediately ordered the army of all the gates to rush to the east gate to help. In addition, Yelu Jinping personally led 10,000 troops from the east gate camp to attack.

In less than half an hour, the 25,000 Song army faced a 40,000 elite Liaoxia coalition. But the problem was that the Song army did not stay under the city, relying on the cover of the Yuanyou crossbow on the city wall.

Instead, it constructed a square array similar to a square, and slowly advanced forward...

Every time a few steps are made, the sound of victory will sound again. The more than 20,000 Song army with high morale are facing the 40,000 Liao and Xia coalition forces, as if fearless, and continue to advance slowly and extremely firmly step by step.

The outer periphery is entirely covered with elite soldiers wearing the Yuanyou armor of the Song Dynasty, which are extremely tightly protected. The inner layer is two rows of spearmen, and further inside, there are three rows of Yuanyou crossbowmen.

Seeing the Song army, which was posing like a hedgehog formation, slowly approaching Dongdaying, Yelu Jinping's face became increasingly ugly.

"Send the order! The whole army is moving forward! Go forward steadily! I want to see if the Song army really doesn't want to survive anymore. 20,000 people, do you want to block the chariot with your mantis arm?!"

All the cavalry had been transferred into the army southward. Only the three thousand elite cavalry in the central army camp were left, and the rest were all infantrymen.

Therefore, although Yelu Jinping was very angry, he could not have any tricks. After all, the Song army formed such a strange formation to be prevented from being attacked on both wings. Therefore, now he can only reach a certain distance and then fight against swords and guns to guns to fight for life and death.

The Zhong Shi and the horses stood at the center of the formation, slowly rode their horses, and issued instructions from time to time to ask the messengers to rush to various places to maintain the strict formation.

But I was still a little nervous. After all, there were 40,000 Liao and Xia coalition forces opposite. I didn’t know if my good brother Zhong Shidao and Zhe Keshi had the sound of war drums.

Zhe Keshi did not disappoint him. As early as when he saw the troops from Xidaying and Nandaying rushing to Dongdaying to rescue him, Zhe Keshi had already begun to consolidate his army and quietly sneaked into the ridge.

Afterwards, the army began to march towards the rear of Xidaying. At this moment, it happened that Yelu Jinping just ordered the 40,000 troops to start advancing against each other.

When Zhe Keshi had 30,000 soldiers and horses, five miles away from Xidaying, the guard general Yelu Wenye had already discovered that the huge Song army appeared behind his camp. He immediately sounded the alarm bell and asked the camps to rush for help.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, news of tens of thousands of Song troops appeared behind Xidaying and came into Yelu Jinping's ears.

At this moment, Yelu Jinping, who was standing outside the wall of the village, looked so dark that he was afraid of others. He still didn't understand at this moment that the Song army in Youzhou City had clearly contacted a reinforcement, and then gathered troops to attract the main force of his army, hoping that this would allow reinforcements to sneak attack Ximen Camp.

"A bastard, can you deceive us, and everyone in the Liao Dynasty? I sent an order to send 3,000 troops to each of the East Gate and the North Gate to help Xidaying, tell Yelu Wenye that he would hold on to Xidaying. As long as I defeated the Song army that left the city, I immediately rushed to Ximen and joined him to annihilate the invading Song Gou!"

"Call out the three thousand elite cavalry and prepare to attack!"

With Yelu Jinping's order, the troops from Nandaying and Beidaying began to gather towards Xidaying, and the trump card of Dongdaying, that is, the three thousand elite cavalry, also rushed out of the camp, drew an arc from the rear of the army, and headed towards the northwest.

We are preparing to attack the Song army from the flanks after the army is head-on.

Seeing this scene, he received the news from the front and had already marched fifty-five feet away from the city wall. Zhong Shihe took a deep breath and ordered the entire army to stop advancing immediately.

The drum sounds above the city wall suddenly changed. The news from the changing drum sounds made Master Zhong unable to help but show his joy and laugh out loud.
