Under the leadership of Xiao Talin, the 10,000 Eastern Liao troops rushed among the Song army's front troops, completely disrupting the entire Song army's front troops. In addition, the command of the Song army's generals was not favorable, and tens of thousands of troops of the Song army's front troops had basically lost their combat effectiveness. Generally, when encountering such a situation on the battlefield, one should immediately send outstanding generals to quickly gather the army, re-establish the defense line, and form combat effectiveness again.

Wang Anshi and Xu Xi's choice was to give up the entire front army. This choice cannot be said to be wrong, which only means that these two commanders were short-sighted. Wang Anshi, who gave up the front army, actually asked Xu Xi to issue it. There were more ways to do this. At least it can be said that Wang Anshi is very smart. If the emperor tracks down in the future, Wang Anshi can completely pick himself up and push everything onto Xu Xi.

The Song army shrinks the defense line and protects the central army with all their strength, which is equivalent to giving up the initiative on the battlefield to the Eastern Liao army. Xiao Talin also knew very well that his strength could not break through the central army formation that the Song army protected at all levels, so he decisively gave up attacking the central army formation, but instead killed the Song army's front army to the greatest extent. Due to the lack of unified command, the Song army's entire front army had to fight on their own.

Gao Wei, who was lying on the hillside not far away, stood up and cursed at the Song army formation: "The generals of the Song army are idiots and executioners. In such a good situation, they only know how to hide and protect themselves. They are so bastards and extremely incompetent."

The deputy general next to him said, "Military advisor, this is the Song army, not our Xia army. Why are you so angry? It's not worth it if you're so angry."

"You boy knows nothing." Gao Wei cursed at the deputy general; "Do you know how beneficial this game is to the Song army? If I command two hours later, Zhuozhou City will be ours."

"This... the last general is stupid, so I would like to ask the military advisor for advice." The deputy general said to Gao Wei.

Gao Wei pointed to the Song army and the Eastern Liao army who were fighting in the field and said, "Look, now the Eastern Liao army has entered the hinterland of the Song army's front army. Further ahead is the Song army's central army formation, and behind is the Zhuozhou City, which has closed the city gate. If the military advisor is commanded, he will immediately start to command the former army's ten thousand cavalry to trap Xiao Talin, and then the Central Army will suppress most of its troops and leave hundreds of troops to escape back to Zhuozhou City. When the gate of Zhuozhou City is opened four times, all cavalry will be sent to attack the city gate and cooperate with the front army to take down the city gate... In this way, the Song army can completely occupy Zhuozhou City."

"The military advisor is far-reaching, and the last general admires it." The deputy general said admiringly.

"But that's good." Gao Wei sighed and said, "This just makes them lose both sides."

"Look at the military advisor, the situation is going on in the south again." The deputy general suddenly pointed to the distance and said.

Gao Wei frowned and said, "It seems to be the direction of the Song army camp. It seems that the Song army camp has caught fire in this way."

"How could the Song army camp catch a fire?" the deputy general asked in confusion.

"You are not taught by a child." Gao Wei said to the deputy general; "You won't think about it yourself. Will the Song army burn their own camp by themselves!"

"The last general understands." The deputy general said embarrassedly.

"It's good if you understand." Gao Wei said with a smile; "It seems that the Song army is about to be defeated."

"Not it!" said the deputy general to Gao Wei: "The main army of the Song army has not been damaged, and it should still have the power to fight."

Gao Wei shook his head and said, "The fire in the camp means that the Song army's rations have been burned out. The 200,000 troops have lost their food and grass. They can starve them to death if they are hungry. Besides, the fire in the camp will inevitably cause the Song army's morale to be unstable. If the morale of the army is in chaos, the Song army's idiot commander can still command the entire army?" Finally, Gao Wei sneered.

Then Gao Wei said to the deputy general: "Let's go back! The command of the entire army to prepare to attack and capture Zhuozhou City at any time."

Although the deputy general did not understand why Gao Wei issued such an order, he still answered the order: "The last general should obey the military advisor's order."

The situation of the Song army was indeed as Gao Wei expected. When the Song army soldiers found that their camp was on fire, the morale of the army was immediately in chaos. However, the Song army was in chaos, and even Wang Anshi, the commander-in-chief, was panicked. The Song army was lively. There were fierce Eastern Liao cavalry in front and burning camp behind. In addition, the commander-in-chief was not strong, so it was difficult for the Song army to be undefeated.

Wang Anshi, who was already panicked, could no longer care about the Dongliao Army and immediately ordered decisively: "Tell the entire army to retreat and return to the camp to put out the fire; tell Xiao Talin to fight with him after our army destroyed the fire in the camp."

"Yes, please follow the military orders of the Lord." The deputy general immediately took over the military order.

So a dozen Song army's messengers shouted loudly to Xiao Talin: "My family has an order. The camp will catch fire and the whole army will return to the camp to put out the fire. I will be a ferocious person with Xiao Talin in the future."

Xiao Talin was amused when he heard this and said, "I will be a great man in the future. Wang Anshi really thinks that this general will be as stupid as him!"

The deputy general next to him said to Xiao Talin: "General, we don't have to pay attention to him. Just kill him directly."

Xiao Talin thought for a while and said, "No, let the messenger tell him that we will withdraw our troops and return to the city."

"General, are we just worshiping each other like this and missed this opportunity?" the deputy general said unwillingly.

"Execute the order." Xiao Talin looked at the deputy general with murderous aura on his face and said.

So the messenger of the Eastern Liao Army shouted loudly: "My general said, withdraw the troops and return to the city."

So the Song and Liao army ended the battle dramatically. Both sides went back to their homes. Xiao Talin, who had just returned to Zhuozhou City, immediately ordered: "Send the order, the army will rest and eat immediately, and the entire army will be dispatched in an hour."

"The general means." The deputy general said to Xiao Talin.

"Do you think I will really give up this opportunity?" Xiao Talin said with a strange smile.

In fact, this was a strategy of Xiao Talin. First, let Wang Anshi and his Song army relax their vigilance. Then Xiao Talin sent troops to attack the Song army from behind. An hour later, the Eastern Liao army launched again. This time, it was not a 10,000 army, but a 30,000 army. All the Eastern Liao army in the entire Zhuozhou City had left the city. It was already ten thousand sunset, and tens of thousands of troops ran south in the afterglow of the sunset.

When the Eastern Liao army came to catch up with the Song army, the Song army had already returned to the camp, but at this time the Song army's camp was in a mess and basically all burned to ashes. The Song army was tidying up the camp! The Eastern Liao army suddenly came out, and the Song army was caught off guard by the Eastern Liao army led by Xiao Talin.

In addition, Gao Wei is also preparing to take action. Gao Wei has been waiting for this opportunity. Now the Eastern Liao army is fully deployed, and the troops in Zhuozhou City are empty. Gao Wei is planning to take advantage of this opportunity to capture Zhuozhou City, but it is not a simple matter to capture Zhuozhou City. Even the tall city walls are all captured by the Xia army without siege equipment. If there is no complete plan, the Xia army will not be able to enter Zhuozhou City at all.
