740 ? Front and rear flanking
With just a few rounds of arrows, a cavalry of the Liao army collapsed. Although it was not certain that many people were killed or injured, it was also a big victory.
Then the Song army did not pursue, but quickly got on the horse and returned to its own city.
But when approaching the city gate, only half of the people entered the city, and the remaining half walked around the city under Luo Tianming and Mu Guiying and disappeared into the distance.
This is a plan formulated by Yang Yanzhao and Mu Guiying. The sneak attack on the Liao army camp was not the main purpose of this night attack. The main purpose was to secretly mobilize an elite soldier out of the city and wait for an opportunity to act.
But what they didn't expect was that they could ambush the Liao army halfway and take a big advantage.
After they arrived at the scheduled hiding place and settled the troops, Luo Tianming had time to chat with Mu Guiying.
"Gui Ying, I have always wanted to ask you, how did you make sure you set up an ambush five miles away from the city and wait for the Liao army?"
"I'm not sure, I'm just a gamble."
"A gamble? It must be a bit of a basis, right? Why is Wuli?"
"Because, the Liao army's camp is ten miles away from the city."
"Oh, I understand! We attacked the Liao army's front camp. They dispatched troops from the back camp to block the enemy. If they were too close, they were afraid that they would not be able to block us. They were too far away and were too close to our city. They were afraid that they would disturb the army in the city. They could take the five miles in the middle and take both."
"Well, a child can teach you."
"Ruzi? I, a child, want to eat!"
"Oh, don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss!"
The two of them had a quarrel, then snuggled up to each other on the grass, basking in the warm rising sun, feeling that it would be great if they could always do this.
Unfortunately, they were still the commander of this army. After lying down for a while, their subordinates sent military information notices.
This time they attacked the Liao army camp, and they ran away after fighting and had no time to count the results.
But after the war, Yang Yanzhao sent scouts, roughly estimated the results of the battle, and then sent someone to send them a copy.
When he saw the battle report, Luo Tianming was also surprised. It was just a few rounds of arrows that caused the Liao army to lose more than 3,000 people!
In fact, this is his ignorance of the limitations of this era.
Modern storytelling, whether it is "The Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "The Yang Family Generals" and "The Complete Biography of Yue Fei", they often mention night attacks.
After coming to this plane, the Song and Liao armies did often launch night attacks, and it was obvious that this tactic existed.
But because he was from a general, he became the chief officer when he entered the army, and he was not so concerned about many miscellaneous things.
For example, during a night attack, the soldiers behind must grasp the belts of the soldiers in front to avoid getting lost.
This is not a joke, it is true, because people in this era have a single recipe, especially Song Jun, who eats food and rarely eats meat, so night blindness is a common phenomenon, and they open their eyes and blindness at night.
Therefore, when launching a night attack, the most important thing is not to kill the enemy as much as possible, but to set fire first.
Only in this way can one not hurt one’s own people and cause greater chaos to the enemy.
Although the Liao army was a nomadic people and often ate meat, the situation was not much better.
Because people in this era have not realized that night blindness is related to recipes, they will not deliberately eat animal livers, which leads to a large proportion of night blindness among Liao soldiers.
The soldiers were night blind and were all cavalry. They were suddenly attacked during the march. Can the Liao army not panic? It would be natural to get confused when they were in a panic, and then there was a large-scale stampede, causing the number of casualties to rise sharply.
In other words, not many people were actually shot to death, but more were trampled to death by themselves.
Especially the horses weigh much larger than those of humans. As long as the soldiers fall off the horse and are stepped on to death, they will be seriously injured.
After understanding the causes and consequences, Luo Tianming laughed and said, "The Liao army is just like this. In the future, it can completely cause a greater blow to them."
Mu Guiying curled her lips and said, "Why is that easy? This time it's just a coincidence, I won't have such good luck next time."
Luo Tianming smiled again, but said nothing.
He had already made up his mind that he didn't want to appear in this plane, so he didn't take out many things.
Not to mention anything else, just take out modern training methods and easily build a strong combat force.
But if he really did this, he would probably be killed immediately by the emperor because he was too dangerous.
So, just let it go, just let it go, who can make this the Song Dynasty?
Luo Tianming and Mu Guiying led their five thousand elite troops to hide in the mountains and forests for three days before receiving Yang Yanzhao's military order.
After reading the order, Luo Tianming immediately ordered that everyone set out and prepare to start the war!
It turned out that after Luo Tianming and Mu Guiying quietly lurked with five thousand elite soldiers, Yang Yanzhao was not idle either and went out of the city many times to provoke the Liao army.
The Liao army thought it was much stronger than the Song army, so how could it stand the provocation of the Song army? It immediately responded with a tough attack.
However, the Song army relied on the tall city walls and defended steadily, which made the Liao army's attack return in vain and lost its troops.
This made the Liao army's chief general furious and began to find a way to teach Yang Yanzhao a lesson.
Since the city guarded by Yang Yanzhao himself cannot be defeated, then go and fight another city.
Anyway, there are many roads in the plains, and at most they are just turning around.
So the Liao army began to secretly divide troops and attack the nearby small town. If it goes well, they will go around Yang Yanzhao and plunder in the Song realm. Even if they cannot kill Yang Yanzhao on the battlefield, they will still be allowed to kill Yang Yanzhao.
But what the Liao army general did not expect was that all his reactions were expected by Yang Yanzhao and Mu Guiying, and all he wanted was to let him divide his troops.
Therefore, when the Liao army had just divided its troops, it was discovered by scouts sent by Yang Yanzhao.
When Yang Yanzhao saw that the time was ripe, he immediately sent an order to Luo Tianming and began to close the net.
When Luo Tianming and Mu Guiying arrived at the scheduled location, the Song army had already formed a pot of congee with the Liao army.
Fifty thousand Liao troops were divided into 20,000 to attack other cities.
The Liao army general believed that even if he had only 30,000 troops, even if he could not capture the city guarded by Yang Yanzhao, it would be fine to suppress it.
Unexpectedly, not long after the 20,000 army left, Yang Yanzhao actually dared to attack.
This made the Liao army's chief general very angry. He immediately dispatched the entire army to fight against Yang Yanzhao head-on.
It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of the Liao army is stronger than that of the Song army. Even if the troops are twice as different, it is still difficult for Yang Yanzhao to win, and the two sides are in a stalemate.
At this moment, Luo Tianming and Mu Guiying arrived and unceremoniously stabbed the Liao army from the back.
Although Luo Tianming and Mu Guiying had only 5,000 men under him, the couple were both masters and led by them. The Song army was completely out of the way, and the Liao army was in chaos.
