Chapter 919

One hundred thousand Song troops were heading towards the Zuoxiang Shenhua Army. If the Zuoxiang Shenhua Army lost, then the rear routes of hundreds of thousands of Liao troops would be in danger of being cut off by the Song army.

Reinforcement General Yelu Dezhang was also a soldier. When he learned that the Song army was approaching the left wing Shenyong Army Division, he made a quick decision and sent 50,000 troops to the left wing Shenyong Army Division to reinforce.

He led the army to temporarily live 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 face looked very bad. "Song Ting actually dared to send troops to the Zuoxiang Shenwang Army. Aren't they afraid that our Liao army would go south?"

"Master, the Song people have shamelessly learned our method this time, and have drawn the imperial guards from Bianliang to Hedong Road, and then drawn the army from Hedong Road to advance to the Zuoxiang Shenyong Army."

"In this way, it is really difficult for us, Daliao, to judge the virtuality of the fortresses in various Song army. In addition, our troops and horses have just been replaced, and it takes time to get through, so Song Ting has the opportunity to do this." The general who was ordered to come and die replied respectfully.

"It seems that the Song people have already known the strategy of our Great Liao Dynasty, so they have made such a response." Xiao Shen stroked his eyebrows and smashed his mouth.

"In addition, since General Dezhang has sent reinforcements to the Zuoxiang Shenyong Army Office, it's fine, why did he want to station in Xiazhou and not come south to join forces with me?"

"Master General Dezhang led the army to rush for more than ten days, and was exhausted and then he consolidated the army in Xiazhou. As for how to stop the next step, please give me some advice."

"Let General Dezhang divide his troops into two groups, and come to Wuyan Ancient City to obey the command. On the other side, he personally led the crossing of the river through Xiazhou, enter the south bank of Wuding River, and rescued Longzhou..." Xiao Shen looked at the map for a few times, and after thinking for a long time, he issued a military order to Yelu Dezhang.

Rescuing Longzhou was originally Xiao Shen's original intention, but in the imperial edict sent by the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty, he clearly told Xiao Shen that he must try to protect the current territory of Xixia and not lose his territory anymore.

It’s okay if I can’t capture it for a long time, but I still lose my territory repeatedly. This is too slap in the face. The Liao Dynasty needs shame. It can’t come with 200,000 reinforcements, but it ends up losing another state. That’s too unreasonable.

However, Xiao Shen's target has always been Hongzhou, but now he is blocked by Su Dongpo on the front line of Wuyan Ancient City, and it is difficult to make an inch of progress. Longzhou was attacked by the Song army again. If Longzhou is lost again, most of the south bank of Wuding River and the east bank of Wuding River will fall into the hands of the Song people.

As for the fall of Shizhou, which is also located on the southern bank of Wuding River, it will inevitably become a matter of time. In this way, what else can Xixia be left in the eastern region?

The Zuoxiang Shenyong Army Office must not be abandoned, and the army's retreat is there. What's more, Xixia has signed a letter of state and allocated the hundreds of miles north of the Zuoxiang Shenyong Army Office to the Liao Kingdom.

Now the Liao Kingdom is fighting with Song Ting for the young brother of Xixia, and there is no way to collect that territory for the time being, so it is even more necessary to protect the prominent part of the Zuoxiang Shenyong Army.

Although Yelu Dezhang's actions of sending troops to reinforce the Left Warrior Army Division made Xiao Shen, the commander of the first army, very unhappy, and felt that his authority as the commander was provoked by the other party.

But it was hard to say anything. After all, the other party acted according to His Majesty's will. However, Xiao Shen decided to teach the other party a little lesson, that is, let him cross the Wuding River to rescue Longzhou.

It would be fine if Longzhou could be saved. If Longzhou could not be rescued, then Xiao Shen would definitely conceive the memorial to impeach Yelu Dezhang in advance and let him taste the literary talent and the advantages of his calligraphy.

Five days later, Yelu Dezhang led 30,000 troops to barely cross the Wuding River. He joined Renduo Zongbao's troops and wanted to rescue Longzhou. However, just one day after moving south, he had already received news that Longzhou had been lost.

Zhe Kexing led 100,000 Hedong Army to the Zuoxiang Shenyong Army. After learning that the other side had a large army to help, he was very conscious and did not advance rashly. Instead, the army withdrew to Linzhou, but did not intend to withdraw troops.

Nearly 200,000 troops from both sides became stalemate here.

To the west, after Baichicheng was taken away by the Song army, Li Ganshun was so angry that he got angry that he once again went crazy in the court, and issued an order to kill Jie E, but in the end, after Wei Ming Awu's persuasion, he was eventually demoted to the people.

After Ye Lihong gathered the defenders of Baichi City, he strictly implemented the instructions of the Xixia king Li Ganshun. He would never go beyond the line or go east to provoke the Song army. Instead, he vigorously repaired the city defense in Xiangqing Army and worked hard to repair this solid city like that of Youzhou, which could withstand the revolving attacks of hundreds of thousands of troops.

The appearance of the Song army in Qin Fenglu in the south also shocked Li Ganshun. Fortunately, although the two military departments in the south were not as strong as strong, they had never suffered much losses. Therefore, facing the Song army, they at least rely on the city defense to block the Song army's advance.

As for the daily battles in front of the ancient city of Wuyan, the Song and Liao armies seemed to have decided that this place was the best stage, and they fought here every day and were filled with blood.

The Song army did not retreat at all, and the Liao army could not advance in an instant. To the north, Wang Daguanren stood on the top of the city of Youzhou City every day, looking through the autumn water, looking at Yelu Jinping's camp several miles away.

A whole month passed, and the reinforcements of the Liao Kingdom had arrived for a whole month. Li Ganshun had gone from a boy (pseudo) to a mature man who married the Liao Kingdom princess.

But in this war, no one can see where the end is, where spring is...it doesn't matter if it's like fighting until winter.

"How long will this war last? Xiao Shen, a bastard, wants people to give them, and soldiers to give them, but what's the result? A month later, he still looked like this, and even lost Longzhou. Will he wait for another month, even the left-wing Divine Army Command and the territory that I, the Great Liao, just obtained?!"

Yelu Hongji sat behind the imperial case, but his anger made the entire hall full of smoke. All the civil and military officials fell to the ground, and no one dared to speak out.

Yelu Hongji was really angry. Why did he change his coach? It was because his younger brother couldn't start the situation. For this, he even ignored the friendship that would hurt his brothers and issued an order to hand over the seal of the generals of Yelu and Luwu to Xiao Shen.
