Chapter Twenty-Nine: Breaking the Liao Division Again
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Jurchens did not change their true colors. Aguta celebrates his ascension to the throne with a war.
In the month of the emperor's proclamation, Wanyan Agu fought to force Huanglongfu, an important town in the northern Xinjiang of Liao. This is a plundering battle without suspense, the garrison of Yizhou (Yizhou in the southwest of this Yizhou) where Huanglongfu is located has no ability to fight a field battle with the Jin army, hearing the news, the Yizhou people have fled into the city of Huanglongfu, and those who have not had time to escape are plundered by the Jin army. Ah Guta didn't really attack Huanglong Mansion - he just showed off his might and returned to Huining.
Eight hundred cavalry from the Han Department also participated in this battle, but it was also a drill for them. Because Cao Guangbi was unimpressed by this kind of banditry that had no strategic significance, they did not loot people and property in this operation, but Yang Yingqi in the rear took out the tea that Liu Cong had just transported and exchanged part of the results from the Jin army.
Today, there are five villages in Hanbu with smoke wafting from cooking, and the ratio of men to women is gradually becoming more balanced, with a population of nearly 4,000.
When Zhi Yan rushed back to Hanbu, Ouyang Shi's deputy Liu Qi also returned. He brought a major news: Da Liao sent troops to attack again. When Zhi Yanchong heard about it, he hurriedly brought him to see Ah Guta. Aguta has also received the news and is gathering the generals to discuss.
Liu Qi told what he had seen and heard in Shangjing, and finally said: "This time, I heard that there are 200,000 cavalry and 70,000 infantry!" At this point, his face turned yellow.
Ah Guda asked, "Have you heard who the general is?" ”
Liu Qidao: "The marching capital is Yelu Erdo, the left deputy commander Xiao Yisu, the right deputy commander Yelu Zhangnu, and the capital supervisor Xiao Sefo. ”
Liu Qi said a name, Ah Guda sneered, and finally said: "It's just mediocre!" He said to Liu Qi again: "You did a good job, go down and receive the reward." He also sent his cronies to the border to inquire.
Ah Gu asked Zheyan Chong, "What do you think?" ”
Zhi Yan said: "The so-called 270,000 foot riders have always been 'claimed', and the real number will be greatly discounted. Even if there are really hundreds of thousands of soldiers coming, it is impossible for all of them to be good soldiers, and the Liao State does not have so many elites. Moreover, I heard that the Liao State has also experienced the disadvantages of 'empty salaries' and 'empty quotas', and some armies have their own structures but have no real numbers -- so the number of companies in this army is also very suspicious. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of troops on an expedition will consume a lot of food. As long as we hold on to the dangerous points and make the elite soldiers of the Liao army unable to use their strengths, the Liao army will be defeated for a long time. ”
Ah Gu said happily: "Among the younger boys, when it comes to using soldiers to call me what I want, there are only Mu Han (Zong Han), Xiao Si (Zong Wang) and you. ”
Everyone went to prepare, and soon new news came that the Liao army came to the east this time, not to "conquer", but to "garrison".
When Yang Yingqi heard this, he laughed and said, "I thought that the Liao people had decided to send a tiger, but it turned out to be a buffalo!" If they come to the border, there will be many militias that are not taught. If the people do not teach and order to go to the battlefield, it is called abandonment! Looks like I'm going to have to be busy again this time. Looking back at Yang Pudao: "My mother, eight sons, and nine villages, is really too narrow-minded. ”
Yang Pu said: "After all, the Liao people have a lot of soldiers, so they can't be taken too lightly. ”
Yang Yingqi said: "The Jurchens are majestic. I expect that the lord of the country will not be passive defensive, but will take the initiative to attack! ”
In the evening, Aguta really summoned the generals and ordered the whole army to set off tomorrow. The army crossed the Lalin River, and Aguta's younger brother Xian also came to join the division, with less than 20,000 troops, but under the repeated victories of the Jurchens, there was no fear at all.
Soon after the meeting, the Liao army sent envoys to present the letter of state for the peace of mind. What is written on the national letter is the Khitan script. Wanyan Xiyin opened it and looked at it, and said angrily: "The Khitan people are rude! ”
Akuda asked, "What?" ”
Wanyan Xiyin said: "Yelu Yanxi said at the beginning that the Emperor of Daliao was a certain emperor, but he called me by the emperor's name!" "Yelu Yanxi is the name of the lord of Liao, because the name of Aguda is directly called in this letter of state, so Wanyan Xiyin also calls the name of the lord of Liao in return.
Ah Guda was not angry, and said lightly: "What did he say? ”
Wanyan Xiyin said: "Yelu Yanxi said that as long as we are vassals, he will allow us to be their Khitan vassals. But it is necessary to pay tribute every year, and set the year to enter the court. ”
Xian also took a step and was about to tear up the national letter, Ah Gu waved his hand and said, "Ignore him." When he hurts, see if he dares to be presumptuous. ”
Wanyan Xiyin said: "Since he came with a national letter, we should reply to him with a national letter!" To show that we are a great country of knowledge. ”
Ah Gu said: "Okay, you can write." Let's just say that if they return Ah Shu and the army withdraws from Huanglong Mansion, I will allow him to negotiate peace! ”
Wanyan Xiyin took pen and ink and wrote: "Emperor Dajin edict Yelu Yanxi ......" was written in a short time, threw it to the Liao envoy, and drove him out of the camp.
On the second day of the march, suddenly a fire crossed the sky, and I don't know where it fell. Ah Guda said loudly: "Look! This is an auspicious omen from heaven! God help Dajin, this trip will win! ”
More than 10,000 people shouted together: "God help Dajin, this trip will be won!" ”
Zhi Yan looked at the place where the firelight disappeared in a daze, and sent a personal soldier back to talk to Yang Yingqi.
The army continued to advance and approached the city of Daguru, where the Liao army was located. Ah Guda led more than ten of his cronies to climb high and look into the distance, only to see that the Liao people stretched for dozens of miles, but the ranks were uneven.
Ah Guda asked his sons and nephews, "What do you think?" ”
Zong Xiong said: "Although there are many people, they are like sheep. ”
Zong Wang said: "The queue is uneven. ”
Zhi Yan said: "It seems that the so-called 200,000 cavalry and 70,000 infantry this time is just a scary number. And where are these fighters? It is clear that they are all farmers and herdsmen who have been temporarily recruited. ”
Ah Gu shook his head and said, "Not bad! The Liao army is not afraid! ”
Zhi Yan said: "More than a dozen of us are watching here, and we are already very close to the enemy. And the Liao people didn't send outposts to guard and drive and arrest, which shows the incompetence of the Liao army commander! The terrain here is condescending, and if you advance down in this formation, it will be like a high-rise building, and it will be unstoppable for thousands of miles. ”
Ah Gu was overjoyed and said: "It is exactly what I want!" "The herald ordered the Jin army to go to the high ground to form a formation. When the Liao army on the opposite side saw it, it seemed to have moved, but it did not send troops to block or surround it for a long time.
Ah Guda pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said, "The Liao people are slow to react!" It's not in formation yet! Raise your swords and clubs, children, and destroy the enemy today! ”
Zong Xiong led the right flank of the Jin army as the main force of the charge, and Zhi Yanchong took 800 cavalry as the deputy and rushed straight to the left flank of the Liao army. The number of the left wing of the Liao army was more than twice as large as that led by Zong Xiong, but the people had no will to fight, and the formation was not completed. As soon as he took over, the Liao array collapsed. When the left flank of the Liao army retreated, Xiao Tienu roared wildly and led his hundreds of cavalry to rush up, and actually rushed to the front of Zongxiong. Thousands of people tore the left flank of the Liao army in half like a sharp sword, and the hundred people under Xiao Tienu's department rushed to the rear of the Liao array without a single injury or a horse!
Zongxiong shouted from behind: "The left wing has collapsed, rush him to the right wing!" ”
What kind of Zongxiong ordered? Xiao Tienu had already crossed from behind the Liao army and went straight to the rear of the right flank of the Liao army. The right wing of the Liao army had already formed a formation at this time, the front army became the rear army, and the rear army became the front army, blocking Xiao Tienu to death. Xiao Tienu said in his heart: "This right wing is much stronger than the left wing. ”
Suddenly, a person next to him shouted: "Six slaves, you can't rush, right?" ”
It was Aru Man who ridiculed Xiao Tienu, and as soon as Xiao Tienu turned around, he had already led a hundred horsemen to rush in, regardless of life or death, and fell into the Liao army.
Xiao Tienu was furious by Aluman's words and deeds, and went crazy and killed him, but after he rushed in, he immediately closed and surrounded the two groups of men and horses in the middle.
