Now that we have decided to speak unanimously to the outside world first, the next thing will be much easier.
Frankly speaking, none of the generals who stayed in Chanzhou without thinking of leaving by any means after the war had been going on for so long was a coward.
Everyone has different views on Han Qing's alliance with Kou Zhun to kidnap or force the emperor to come to Chanzhou. However, on the matter of "exploding the Liao invaders", the goals are completely the same.
Therefore, after confirming that neither Kou Zhun nor Han Qing could be "Zhao Kuangyin's second", the generals immediately turned their attention back to combat.
Kou Zhun was Zhongshu Tongpingzhangshi and had the highest position among all the people. He was certainly qualified to serve as the commander-in-chief and dispatch the troops.
However, he was very self-aware. After being invited by Li Jihe to the Chinese military tent, he saw that Li Jilong continued to give up his position as the commander. He immediately smiled and waved to the opponent, "It's better, prepare the food and supplies, and ensure that
You all have no worries, that is my strength. Let me be the coach, it is better to give Chanzhou Bai directly to Yelu Longxu. You can find someone who can play chess for me. I will follow the ancients and sit in the watchtower every day.
Just pretend to be mysterious. The rest of the matter is left to you, Superintendent Li."
"Then it's better for Li to be respectful than to obey." Li Jilong originally knew that if he wanted to win the battle at hand, he couldn't hand over the command to someone who was unfamiliar with the battlefield and the enemy, so he decisively stepped in and followed suit.
After saying that, he quickly turned his eyes to Han Qing who was following Kou Zhun, smiled and saluted: "This must be the Han ambassador who just avenged my brother's great revenge. I will not thank you for your kindness, and I will allow Li to live."
I'll try to repay you when I get down."
"Uncle Li was kind to me in the past. He was harmed by gangsters. There is no reason for a junior to stand by and watch. As for other things, the old general doesn't have to think about it!" Han Qing heard this and immediately stepped aside half a step, and then solemnly recognized himself as a junior.
requite.
"Then let's talk about it after the war!" Li Jilong didn't waste much time. He raised his hand to Han Qing and asked softly, "You led thousands of local warriors and defeated the Eastern Route Army of the Liao Kingdom. I can't believe that.
I heard it before. Now that you have come to Chanzhou, do you have any good ideas to help me resolve the current crisis?"
"This junior has just arrived and has no idea about the situation in Chanzhou, so it's better not to make random ideas for the time being." Han Qing shook his head vigorously without even thinking about it.
Then, after thinking for a moment, he added in a low voice, "However, I just heard you say, junior, that the Liao invaders may fight with all their strength in the next few days. I thought of a little trick, but I don't know if it is appropriate."
"What's a strange trick? Why don't you tell me about it?" Li Jilong's eyes lit up and he encouraged with a smile.
The Liao army outside the city far exceeded the Song army inside the city, both in quantity and quality.
As the coach, the next thing he can do is just to try and make mistakes to ensure that there are fewer mistakes on his side, but he can't come up with any good methods to severely damage the Liao army.
Han Qing did not covet the command of the army and was willing to give him advice. Of course he wanted to listen.
As for whether the tricks are easy to use, he believes that he will be able to make accurate judgments based on his own experience.
"I'm afraid the Liao army will know the news about the Guan family's arrival in Chanzhou soon. And since the Liao army wants a quick victory, and knowing that the Guan family is in Chanzhou, I'm afraid they will also list it as the first attack
Target." Since Li Jilong asked, Han Qing did not hide his clumsiness. He sorted out his thoughts and slowly gave the answer. "So, early tomorrow morning, the official's figure will appear at the top of the city again..."
"You mean, find someone to pretend to be an official to attract the Liao army to attack. Then, take the opportunity to kill him off guard!" Before he could finish his sentence, Li Jilong laughed and clapped his hands, "Wonderful, this is a very clever plan.
The more eager the Liao army is to seek success, the more flaws will be exposed."
'I want the officials to be the bait! I didn't want to find someone like Li Daitaojiang!' Han Qing muttered in her heart. However, she could only go along with the flow and said, "Li Shuai is smart. I just started, you guessed it."
all."
"Do you have any specific implementation strategy?" Li Jilong glanced at him meaningfully and asked with a smile, "If there is, you might as well tell me."
"Strategy is not what this junior is good at." Han Qing immediately understood that Li Jilong had not misunderstood his proposal, but had provided him with protection in disguise. He smiled and waved his hand modestly.
Influenced by "Lawyer Han" from another time and space, he no longer takes Zhao Hengtai seriously. However, everyone in this time and space is accustomed to having an emperor.
Therefore, Li Jilong interrupted him and put an end to his plan to use Zhao Heng as bait. In fact, he was paving the way for him to escape safely after the war.
It's not that I didn't really hear clearly what he was going to say, so I rushed to interrupt.
"Then you will pretend to be an official." Sure enough, after hearing that he said there was no specific implementation strategy, Li Jilong immediately began to assign tasks to him, "Although you are much taller than the official and your appearance is different. But, sitting here
In the enemy tower, at such a distance, the Liao army must not be able to tell the difference."
"Prepare a secret passage in the enemy tower. Before the Liao army reaches the city wall, let the officials show their faces in the enemy tower to boost morale. By the way, invite Yelu Longxu to come to the city to meet!" Kou Zhun reacted quickly and thought well.
He was also flexible enough to repair any omissions with a smile.
Li Jilong's eyes lit up and he nodded with a smile. Immediately, he arranged for Li Shen, the leader of the soldiers, to lead people to prepare the secret passage.
After Li Shen took the order and left, he said with a smile: "I only expected to withstand the last crazy attack of the Liao army and wear it out to retreat. Since the Korean Embassy gave me such a good idea,
If I can't make the Liao dog produce more blood, I will be sorry for the expectations of the Korean Embassy and everyone."
"I am willing to listen to Superintendent Li's orders!"
"Although the Commander-in-Chief gives orders, we will never back down from where the flag points!"
"This life belongs to the commander-in-chief. As long as he can kill a few more Liao dogs, he will die a worthy death!"
…
When the generals heard that they could bleed the Liao army, their eyes began to shine, and they all expressed their opinions one after another.
"Then I will lead everyone and give the Liao dogs a hard blow!" Li Jilong saw that his morale was ready, took a deep breath, and said through gritted teeth, "The war has been going on for nearly a whole year, and the Liao invaders have long been at the end of their war effort.
The reason why they can still fight with shouts is because they have won successively and never suffered serious losses. If they can lose tens of thousands of soldiers in one battle, or kill the leading general, their vigor will be lost."
After giving everyone a little time to digest, he continued, "In the past, the Liao army was divided into two groups. The east route army suddenly returned in defeat because it hit a wall at the Korean Embassy. On the main force of the Liao army, if
He can also be beaten to death by us head-on. What Yelu Longxu needs to consider next is not to cross the Yellow River and attack Bianliang, but whether he can successfully retreat to Youzhou!"
"This is reasonable, but how can we do it so that the Liao army can be devastated?" Kou Zhun took over the conversation in time and asked with a smile.
"The Liao army has many horses and excellent riding skills. It is difficult for us to take advantage of it in field operations. As for the formation map, even the officials themselves know it. It is just to show the officials' control over the army." Xiang Kou smiled.
Quan nodded, and Li Jilong replied loudly, "So, let's do it as simple as possible. First, we will use the officials, the Han embassy, to pretend to be officials, so that the Liao army's attention will be focused on the enemy tower on the west side of Chanzhou. And
Make some gaps appropriately and trick the Liao army into investing more troops and horses to attack the city. Then take advantage of it and send an elite force from the south gate or the north gate to attack the army directly and exchange the king for the king!"
"Wonderful!" Kou Zhun's blood surged after hearing this. He raised his palm in admiration, and then quickly turned his head to Han Qing, "Han Qingyuan, although this move is wonderful, I have to use you as bait..."
"It's okay, bring me some more firearms and let me use them as I please!" Han Qing had heard Li Jilong say that he wanted to pretend to be an official to attract the Liao army to attack the enemy tower on the west, so he already knew that he was the key. Now he heard Kou Zhun say
When asked, he smiled and nodded.
When all the generals saw that he put life and death at risk, they all felt a little more admiration in their hearts. Even the generals who had previously thought that he was the mastermind behind the hijacking of officials now felt that although he acted recklessly, he might not have any selfish motives.
"I would like to thank the Korean Ambassador first!" Li Jilong's eyes were full of appreciation for Han Qing. He thanked Han Qing with his hands and then continued, "The fire and thunder bullets and fire and thunder crossbows are consumed too fast, and there is not much left.
On the other hand, there are still more than 3,000 muskets. Those things can't shoot far and are only suitable for frightening the Khitan people's mounts in field battles. If the Korean Embassy needs it..."
"Just give it all to me!" Han Qing, however, didn't think the musket was useless and nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll give them all to you." Li Jilong immediately agreed. In addition, "I will give you another 200 fire bombs in case you need them."
"If my grandfather can arrive in time, I would trouble the old general to arrange for someone to remove five crossbows from the ship for me to use." Han Qing thought for a while and made the request.
"You don't have to wait for him to come. I will bring you a bed crossbow from a boat in the city." Li Jilong agreed decisively without asking Han Qing how to use the bed crossbow.
Immediately, he quickly turned his attention to his two capable generals, Zhou Wenzhi and Zhang Yong, and ordered them to select five thousand elites each and hide them near the south gate and north gate tomorrow, ready to listen to his orders at any time.
Then we set about arranging to lure the enemy, making way for gaps and the details of response and support if we encounter an emergency after the attack.
Han Qing had commanded more than 10,000 troops in the past and had no experience in large-scale battles. Therefore, he seemed to understand what he heard.
I just feel that it is not easy to be a coach, especially as the coach of a weak team. You have to consider almost everything. If you make any omissions, it is easy to lose all your previous efforts, or even be overturned by the enemy against the trend.
Li Jilong wanted to repay him for his kindness in avenging his younger brother. Seeing that his eyes were a little confused, he deliberately slowed down and re-emphasized all the details of deploying troops and generals.
Even so, Han Qing only understood five or six tenths of it. But his confidence in winning increased by a few points.
The generals were in a similar situation to him. They all couldn't fully understand, but they knew that they had a good chance of winning the next battle. Therefore, they were all gearing up and full of fighting spirit.
That night, everyone went back to recharge their batteries. The next day, they finished eating their war food, dressed up and waited for the arrival of the fighter plane.
As everyone expected, the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom learned that Zhao Heng had arrived in Chanzhou, and saw a man wearing the robe and crown of the Song emperor walking into the west side of Chanzhou City amid cheers.
The enemy tower immediately mobilized heavy troops and rushed towards the west wall of Chanzhou City.
Zhao Heng, however, learned that he only needed to show his face to evacuate from the secret passage, and Han Qing pretended to be himself to lure the enemy, and his courage suddenly increased. Under the protection of Dou Shenbao and others, he strode to the enemy.
Beside the guardrail on the second floor of the building, holding a sword, he pointed condescendingly at the incoming Liao army, "Thieves, step aside and let your leader Yelu Longxu come to see me! I am in the enemy tower, waiting to chop him with my own hands.
Brain!”
"Yelu Longxu, the officials of the Song Dynasty ask you to come forward and fight in person! Don't hide behind the soldiers!" Since Zhao Heng himself had risked his life, Dou Shenbao didn't want to be looked down upon. He raised his voice and led the guards to shout
send invitation.
"Yelu Longxu, the officials of the Song Dynasty invite you to come forward and fight in person -" Inside and outside the enemy tower, Erlang of the Song Dynasty heard this with excitement. Without waiting for anyone's order, he opened his voice and repeated the invitation over and over again.
Since ancient times, there has never been a situation where two countries are at war, and a monarch would challenge the other monarch alone. Yelu Longxu was unprepared in advance, and of course he would not accept Zhao Heng's invitation rashly.
However, he never expected that at this moment, he himself could remain rational and determined not to be fooled by Zhao Heng. However, the Liao soldiers under his command and the Great Song Erlang opposite him could not be as rational as him.
Seeing that Zhao Heng personally invited Yelu Longxu to fight, but there was no response from Yelu Longxu, many Liao soldiers felt that they were disgraced.
In Erlang's heart, the depression caused by the fact that Yelu Longxu went into battle while his own emperor hid south of the Yellow River and did not dare to show his face was all gone at this moment.
