Chapter four hundred and twenty seventh emergency response
Liu Mingzhi was still mumbling to himself full of doubts, when Song Qing hurried in holding a new letter.
"Commander, a message from the scout brothers. The brothers and horses who went to Lingzhou to pursue the enemy have not arrived yet. The soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom have already evacuated towards Qingzhou under the leadership of Wanyan Chiezha. The brothers rushed
Empty!"
"Furthermore, the scouts discovered that there was something wrong with the number of horse hoofprints on the official road. They far exceeded the number of cavalry soldiers owned by the Jin Kingdom. The scouts guessed that they were probably Turkic soldiers and horses that we had lost in pursuit."
"The Turks seem to be deliberately hanging behind the Jin soldiers and horses. What their purpose is is still unknown."
"The general thought for a while on the road. After the enemy goes to Gyeongju, they can go directly eastward to Jianju, which we recaptured, and then take a detour to Chongzhou where we are currently stationed."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the note in Song Qing's hand with surprise. After taking it and flipping through it, his eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty. He slowly placed the note on the table. Liu Mingzhi turned to look at the person with a slightly expression on his face.
Anxious Song Qing.
"Brother, do you know what's going on in Gyeongju now?"
Song Qing was stunned, looking at Young Master Liu and shaking his head blankly: "Qingzhou is separated by two provinces, and the general is not a clairvoyant or a clairvoyant as in the myths and legends. How could he possibly know what is happening in Qingzhou now?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently and fell into the chair behind him absentmindedly.
"As my deputy commander, you don't even know the situation in Qingzhou. How did the enemy know that my commander had just transferred his troops from Qingzhou and headed towards Dingzhou?"
"Only the commander himself knows this matter. No one has said anything about it. How did the enemy guess it? Was it Wanyan Chizha who had an idea or were there gods and Buddhas all over the sky who pointed out the way for them to survive?"
Song Qing listened to Liu Mingzhi's self-questioning voice and looked shocked: "What, you just transferred the soldiers and horses from Qingzhou? The enemy army went to Qingzhou?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a complicated expression: "Yes, Qingzhou was originally one of the fortresses that prevented the enemy from rushing out. The Tiger and Ben guards of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang were stationed there and could bypass Hanzhou to surround the enemy at any time."
"But I didn't expect that Wanyan Chizha and the others would suddenly transfer to Lingzhou. I thought they would come directly from Lingzhou to Chongzhou, so I mobilized the Hu Xiang and Hu Ben guards to Dingzhou behind Chongzhou to build a second
A layer of defense.”
"But how did the enemy know about it? They went to Gyeongju, which has the most empty troops."
Song Qing stared blankly at Liu Mingzhi's complicated and unspeakable expression, and then realized why Liu Mingzhi's face had become increasingly ugly in the past few days.
If it was really what Liu Mingzhi said just now, Song Qing would understand.
A battle of encirclement and annihilation turned into a tug-of-war led by the enemy.
"Commander, even if they go to Qingzhou, they still have a chance to make amends. If they want to withdraw from the customs, they have to pass through Jianzhou. If they pass through our Chongzhou, we can still intercept them in our northern territory."
"You are wrong. Qingzhou's troops are empty. They can go east to Renzhou, Guozhou, Ruizhou, and withdraw their troops from the national gate of Fuzhou without any scruples."
Song Qing's face changed in shock: "What? All the troops in Northern Xinjiang are now in Yingzhou. If they break through Fuzhou, wouldn't it be... with our current position..."
Liu Mingzhi put his head in his hands and scratched his hair until it was as messy as a chicken coop.
"It is impossible for enemy scouts to detect the large number of soldiers and horses in Gyeongju. No one will divert to the hinterland of Gyeongju. Once they are entangled by soldiers and horses, they will face the situation of being surrounded by a large army."
"But just after I secretly mobilized my troops, they went to the hinterland of Gyeongju! What the hell is going on? Is Wanyan Chizha the tapeworm in my belly? Even I can guess every opportunity of fighting.
Clearly."
Song Qing looked at Liu Mingzhi with an ugly face: "Commander, what should we do next? If the enemy army really goes east to Renzhou and goes abroad from Fuzhou, all our efforts will be in vain!"
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea cup and took a sip, thinking about the time it took to burn an incense stick.
"We can't go on like this. I always feel that my previous plans have been leaked. Although I don't know how, now is not the time to explore these things."
"Immediately send an order to the Six Guards of the Xiaoguo Guard, the Flying Eagle Guard, the Longwu Guard, the Trap Army, the Futu Army, and the Hundred Battle Army, who are lightly armed and simple, and they quickly withdraw from Dingzhou and rush towards Renzhou under the jurisdiction of Fuzhou Prefecture."
"Half of the enemy's troops are infantry, and their rapid march cannot be as fast as the cavalry. We hope to stop the enemy troops before they pass through Jianzhou and reach Renzhou!"
"Got the order!"
"Du Yu!"
"The end is here!"
"Send the order for all soldiers and horses to follow my commander straight to Jianzhou."
"yes!"
Liu Mingzhi knew that Wanyan Chizha's use of troops in this way may be because his plan was accidentally leaked, or it may be that God has no eyesight, causing Wanyan Chizha and the others to accidentally break out of the encirclement.
In any case, now we can only break the pot and take it one step at a time.
Following Liu Mingzhi's message, the hundreds of thousands of dragon soldiers and horses who had just deployed defense lines in Chongzhou and Dingzhou once again divided into two groups and rushed towards Renzhou in Fuzhou and Jianzhou in Yingzhou.
Many soldiers were completely confused by Young Master Liu's random orders.
Many veterans have been on the battlefield for more than 20 years and have never seen this method of deploying troops.
What's the point of giving up the line of defense that you have worked so hard to build?
They were not Liu Mingzhi, so naturally they didn't know that Mr. Liu's helplessness was hundreds of times greater than theirs.
The enemy had clearly entered his encirclement step by step, but how could he suddenly become like a divine help and lead him away by the nose?
This is completely counterintuitive.
On the other hand, the more this happened, the more resentful Liu Mingzhi became for not being able to join forces with 300,000 new recruits in time.
If they can arrive as scheduled and come to join forces in time, let alone the enemy leading them away, I am afraid that the national war will be coming to an end at this moment.
They did not arrive in time, which not only delayed the implementation of their own plan, but also caused the enemy to react and turn around like a divine help!
Nothing you can say now will help.
Although Liu Mingzhi wanted to know what happened in the capital and find out the secret behind the delay in the 300,000 new troops rushing to the frontier, now was not the time to find out.
Even if I knew what all the Central Plains committees were doing, they still couldn't arrive in time to start the encirclement.
The top priority is to trap the enemy, but the enemy has come again like this.
The far-reaching layout was already a lot of hard work, and now Liu Mingzhi is completely exhausted mentally and physically.
It's too late to say anything. Now Liu Mingzhi has the same thoughts as the Queen and Wanyan Chizha Chuan Shu.
It is not too late.
I hope I can change my tactics in time and make up for some mistakes.
The current use of troops is completely a last resort. Liu Mingzhi has already planned to completely overthrow the previous arrangements and start over.
