729, Fan Army (11)

(The first update is presented, the second update is at nine o'clock)

While Gao Tang recruited the Liao army, Zheng Fei also always paid attention to the situation of the Song army and Bozhou City.

In the entire plan, Zheng Fei divided the 400,000 army into three parts, some of which were about 50,000 people led by Wang Jin, guarding against the Song army on the border, some of which were about 200,000 people led by Lu Zhishen, Zong Shidao, Liu Fa and others to siege the Xia army in Bozhou City, and he led the remaining more than 100,000 people to siege the Liao army in Gaotang.

On the Song army, Yao Gu had sent people to see Zheng Fei several times and asked why Zheng Fei was alone in Xia, Liao army lured and besieged Bozhou and Gaotang, and also laid heavy troops on the border to prevent the Song army from approaching!

Of course, Zheng Fei would not tell him the truth, and only said that he would trap Xia and Liao army to death. As for the fact that the Song army did not allow the Song army to cross the border, he only said that Xia and Liao army had fallen into a Jedi. The Heavenly Dao Army had the strength to kill them alone, so there would be no need to bother the Song army's brothers.

Yao Gu had actually vaguely guessed Zheng Fei's intention. He knew that he was used as a gun by Zheng Fei, and he was extremely angry, but he was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he wanted to destroy Zheng Fei's plan, but on the other hand, he did not dare to destroy Zheng Fei's plan, because once Zheng Fei's plan was destroyed, he was worried that he would lose the siege of the Heavenly Dao Army, and the Liao and Xia armies would re-enter the battlefield.

The Liao and Xia armies are now hungry wolves who have been forced into a desperate situation. At this time, they are the most dangerous and terrifying. In the battle not long ago, if it weren't for the assistance of the Heavenly Dao Army, they would have almost been broken through the encirclement and penetrated into the hinterland of Song State. If this time, if they broke up with the Heavenly Dao Army and turned against each other again, the Song army would not receive assistance from the Heavenly Dao Army again. If they reach an agreement with the Liao and Xia army, it would be disastrous for the Song State!

So, after thinking about it, Yao Gu decided to pretend to be stupid for the time being, because after all, he still didn't believe that the Heavenly Dao Army could swallow up more troops than them. This was a fantasy for him. Moreover, the Liao, which was already in a desperate situation at this time, wasn't the Xia army the most terrifying time? Well, I just depend on how much you Zheng Linfeng has! Even if you can finally subdue them, the trapped beasts are still fighting, let alone hundreds of thousands of trapped beasts that are almost crazy! You Zheng Linfeng will definitely pay a great price, and I'm waiting on the side, waiting to see if you both lose both sides, and I will wait for an opportunity to act then!

In this way, Yao Gu led all the Song army to the border, always keeping a close eye on the movements of Gaotang and Bozhou. Once the Tiandao Army and Liao and Xia armies fell into a hard battle, he would take the opportunity to act with an intention to turn the world around in one battle.

In Bozhou, the reason why Zheng Fei put more troops there was because he knew that although the Liao and Xia armies were trapped here and were short of food and no aid, the situations of the two armies were essentially different.

First of all, the Liao army is composed of two parts: the Xijing Army and the Nanjing Army, and there are two commanders. According to the information, the two commanders were somewhat incompatible in many aspects. In addition, Xiao Chala was arrogant and suppressed Yelu Dashi, which are all places that can be used. In contrast, the Xia army, the powerful king Chage had the final say, and there was no obstacle to whether to fight or retreat. From this aspect, the Xia army was better!

Secondly, the current situation of Liao and Xia countries is different. Xia countries have relatively stable domestic politics, and their internal and external troubles are relatively mild, which has little impact on the combat effectiveness of the army. However, Liao countries have been beaten half to death by Jin countries. Now that they hear that the Jin countries are going to war against Liao again, the morale of the army has long been extremely depressed, and it is easier for the Xia army to surrender than the Xia army.

More importantly, Chage has an essential difference compared to Xiao Chala and Yelu Dashi. He is the real Xia royal family and the emperor's younger brother. His identity also determines that he will not surrender easily.

Based on these reasons, Zheng Fei believed that the Xia army, which had fewer troops but had stronger combat power, was more difficult to deal with, so he placed all the main troops in Bozhou, so that the Heavenly Dao Army there was a greater grasp, especially Zhong Shidao and Liu Fa were also placed in Bozhou, which shocked the Xia army with their reputation in the northwest!

The facts were indeed not as unexpected as Zheng Fei. Since the Xia army was surrounded, the fooled Cha Ge immediately commanded the army to fight several breakthrough battles. In the first three days, he fought bloody battles every day, and the battle situation was much more tragic than Gaotang City!

Fortunately, the Tiandao Army withstood Cha Ge's crazy counterattack and successfully carried out a series of operations such as digging trenches and bombing the Bozhou city tower, which put a huge psychological pressure on the Xia army. In addition, the "false" military strength advantage formed by the militias urgently mobilized from west Jingdong and Jingdong after joining them made the Xia army feel desperate, and they have successfully encircled the Xia army in Bozhou city.

However, since the Song army did not completely destroy the Xia army's food and grass before, when the Xia army entered Bozhou and found a fake granary, Cha Ge did not order the entire army to eat happily like Xiao Chala. Therefore, the Xia army's food and grass situation was much better than that of the Liao army. It saved some food and could hold on. It was still stalemate with the Tiandao Army, but everyone knew that this stalemate would not last too long. Cha Ge would burn his boats at any time and fight a decisive battle with the Tiandao Army!

The current situation is that the Song army was peeping maliciously, and the Xia army could launch a decisive battle at any time. These forces Zheng Fei to end the surrender of the Liao army as soon as possible, and then immediately lead the army south to aid the Bozhou battlefield!

Fortunately, the Liao army had surrendered, but before leading the army southward, there was another new question before Zheng Fei, which was how to deal with the nearly 300,000 Liao soldiers who surrendered. Although they surrendered, they were not truly loyal to Zheng Fei. Whenever they had the chance, they might rebel against Zheng Fei. Zheng Fei was worried about escorting them all to the hinterland behind him, because it would be necessary to consume a lot of troops to escort them. Moreover, the military forces in the hinterland are now empty. Once they really rebel, it would be a fire in the backyard, and the consequences were unimaginable.

This situation was indeed beyond the expectations of Zheng Fei and others in advance. In the original plan, Zheng Fei and the others were prepared to fight a fierce battle with the Liao army. The expected result was that the Liao army would be forced to surrender after destroying at least half of the Liao army. Who would have thought that the Liao army would be frightened at once. In just three days, the cowardly commander killed the deputy commander of the main battle and surrendered with almost the entire Liao army. The captives seriously exceeded the standard, which caused this troublesome situation today.

Zheng Fei, Zhu Wu and others urgently discussed the whole night on the night when the Liao army surrendered, but they were clueless and everyone was at a loss. Some even half-joking and half-seriously said that if it really doesn't work, just kill the Liao army in batches, saving food, which is better than when they suddenly turn against each other.

Unexpectedly, this suggestion was approved by many people. Even Zheng Fei, who had always insisted on not killing prisoners and not abused prisoners, could not help but feel a little moved. Of course, Zheng Fei still rejected this suggestion.

After two more days of delay, Liu Fa and others from Bozhou had sent people to report several times, saying that the number and density of smoke in Bozhou had risen and the number of times and density of smoke in Bozhou was getting smaller and smaller, and the Xia army tried to break through more and more frequently. All signs showed that Brother Cha seemed to have been completely forced into a dead end and was about to prepare for a decisive battle.

Wang Jin, who was guarding against the Song army at the border, also sent someone to report that the Song army was ready to move, probably because he knew that the Liao army had surrendered. Yao Gu seemed to have to take action.

Zheng Fei saw these things and was anxious. He decided to send Pang Wanchun's Independence Army and Wu Song, Li Kui and others' troops to Bozhou and the border respectively. He led the remaining tens of thousands of troops and more than tens of thousands of fake Heavenly Dao Army to continue to stay in Gaotang while escorting the Liao army while trying to find a way. Although it was a bit risky to do so, I thought that with my army commander, the Liao army would not dare to do anything for the time being.

But this was not a long-term solution, but no one expected that at this moment, things quickly turned around...!
