Chapter 24 Anti-Khitan II

In the first battle of the Jurchens, the main force of the Liao army guarding in the area of Ningjiang Prefecture was defeated, and Xiao Tienu chased after him wildly, changing his horse twice halfway, and even chased him directly to the city of Ningjiang Prefecture.

After Zhe Yan rushed to the post, he collected the ordnance and prisoners, and Yang Kaiyuan led the sappers to follow when it was late, and he set up the camp tent at the moment.

Minister Sagai was in another fortification, and he didn't have time to participate in this battle. When Sakai heard about it, he sent his son Zonghan to congratulate him, and persuaded him to call himself the emperor to order the people. Ah Gu asked Zheyan Chong, "What do you think?" ”

Orihiko was silent, and Ah Gu laughed, "I know what you mean. The emperor should be the strongest under the blue sky, and the victory in the first battle will be called the big one, how to show people shallow! ”

On the second day, the army continued to advance and approached the city of Ningjiang Prefecture. Yang Kaiyuan looked at Ningjiang Prefecture City and said in his heart: "The city of Northern Contempt is not comparable to the city of the Central Plains!" "Led the sappers, under the cover of bows and arrows, carried earth in wheelbarrows, and filled the moat.

The Jurchens erected a ladder made by the Han to attack the city, and Ah Guda pointed to the city wall and asked Di Yu: "It is often said that the Han people are the best at attacking and defending the city, do you think this city can be taken?" ”

Di Yu snorted and said, "This city is not enough to defend for a long time. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the Liao army rushed out of the east gate, wanting to fight under the city. Zong Xiong, Zong Gan, and Zong Wang respectively led their troops to divide the Liao army out of the city into small pieces, and Wushu, Xiao Tienu and others rushed into it, chopping melons and chopping vegetables, and killed no one under the nose of the Liao army in the city. There was blood, limbs, and internal organs everywhere, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were all terrified when they saw it.

Zhi Yanchong asked Cao Guangbi beside him: "Why don't you come forward to make meritorious service?" ”

Cao Guangbi said lightly: "There is no suspense in this battle, what good is it for me to kill more?" Seeing that Yang Kaiyuan beside him was about to be disgusted, he asked, "Haven't you gotten used to it for thousands of miles?" ”

Yang Kaiyuan shook his head and said, "If I had stayed in Jiangnan, I guess I would never have had the opportunity to see this kind of scene in my life." ”

When Cao Guangbi heard this, he looked around and saw if there were any Jurchens, and said in a low voice: "I'm a little worried, in case the Jurchens are prosperous on behalf of Liao, ......" Before he finished speaking, he stopped talking when he saw Zongxiong and Xiao Tienu returning with the heads of the enemy army.

The main force of the Liao army had long been dispersed, and there were not many defenders in the city, so the Jurchens held the key points and trapped Ningjiang Prefecture.

The weather is getting colder, the Jurchen morale is getting stronger and stronger, but the Liao people are becoming more and more cowering. On this day, Zhiyan said: "Du Bo Jilie often says that the Han people are good at attacking cities, and there is a broken city in front of them, but the sun has not fallen!" If the Jurchens are allowed to enter the city, where will our faces go? ”

When everyone in the Han Department heard this, they were all indignant. Suddenly, a detective came over to report, but it was Ouyang Shi's letter. Zhi Yanchong looked at it and said: "Ouyang contacted the merchants in the city, they bought several defenders in the south of the city, tonight they will set fire to the north of the city to attract the attention of the generals of the Liao army, we will rush in from the south of the city!" Wash the name of the weakness of the Han people, just tonight! ”

Several leaders said together: "Not bad! ”

After Orihiko Chong informed Ah Guta, he lay down in the south of the city at night, when it was the end of September, and there was only a curved line left in the moon, and there was little starlight. At the time of the third watch, someone on the city went down the soft ladder, Zhi Yanchong took the lead and led more than a dozen people to climb up, but he was taken aback when he got on the city wall, it turned out that the soft ladder was Ouyang Shi who was wearing the clothes of the Bohai Department of the Liao Army, and he didn't know how he mixed into the army.

At that time, there was no time to narrate, Ouyang Shi took Zhi Yanchong to quietly cover the city gate, attacked and killed the soldiers and civilians guarding the city gate, the city gate was open, and most of the Liao army realized it, but where was there time? Di, Cao, Xiao, Aluman and others rushed in early. Xiao Tienu led fifty people to attack the enemy who came to meet him, and the Jurchen army followed behind, and the Liao soldiers had no fighting spirit, some abandoned their armor and fled, and some disarmed and surrendered. Zhi Yanchong and Ouyang Shi led the rest of the Han army to the Ningjiang Prefecture Mansion and captured the Liao army's defense envoy Dayao Shinu. The commander of the army is not wild, but he is not in the city.

Ah Gu was overjoyed after entering the city, and ordered Zhi Yanchong and Zongxiong to go to handle the affairs of the people respectively.

Cao Guangbi asked how Ouyang Shi blended into the Liao army, and Ouyang Shi smiled: "I didn't expect you to come so quickly, and before you could get out of the city, Ningjiang Prefecture was under martial law." That encounter caused the Liao people to lose their armor and abandon their armor, and Ningjiang Prefecture was short of troops. These days, in order to defend the city, I don't know how many strong men have been temporarily pulled to be soldiers! I guess it's not easy to blend in! ”

Ningjiang Prefecture is one of the trade route hubs in the northeast of the Liao Kingdom, where merchants from Khitan, Goryeo and other countries often trade through the Huiba Jurchen and the Shengjurchen, and some bold and powerful people such as Zhao Guan and others even violated the ban to trade directly in the Shengjurchen, and these merchants used this as a stronghold. Therefore, although Ningjiang Prefecture is not big, there are a lot of goods. After the city was broken that night, many shops were looted, and only Zhao Guan and others were spared by the protection of the Han Dynasty.

Zhi Yan Chong saw that many merchants came to seek refuge from the Han Department through the Zhao family, and knew that this matter could not be ignored, so he came to see Ah Gu and said: "Although it is reasonable to plunder to strengthen morale, Du Bo's fierce vision should not be limited to the land we already have. This place can be used as an important base for our materials and soldiers in the future, and if my uncle has the idea of attacking Liao in the south, he must accept the hearts of the people in this city. ”

Ah Gu said yes, and ordered Orihiko to rush to the herald to restrain him. Orihiko said: "I'm not suitable for this. ”

Ah Guda came to his senses and saved that he was a Han man after all, and if he went to pass the order, he was afraid that the Jurchens would not be convinced, so he asked his younger brother to go down and pass the order.

The Jurchen army was shocked in Ningjiang Prefecture for several days, and the people's hearts gradually became calm.

Before the army left, Zhi Yan Chong grabbed Zongxiong and said, "I can't go back for a while, you let Ah Hu take care of the fetus, don't worry about me." ”

Zongxiong smiled: "Don't worry." That's my sister! ”

In this battle, many prisoners were taken, and Zhi Yanchong only accepted Han prisoners - whether it was a Khitan or a Bohai person, as long as he could speak Chinese, he also took it as a Han captive. Because of Ouyang Shi's ghosts, it was rumored among the captives that life would be much better if they belonged to the Han department, so many of the captives recognized themselves as Han people, and a total of 800 people finally belonged to the Han department.

Cao Guangbi and others carefully selected 200 people who were physically strong and full of spirit, and divided 50 people from the original 160 cavalry to unify the four, and as the grassroots cadres of these 200 people, they were still in a group of five and a team of 10 people, and they were pulled out of the city for daily training, as if there would be a big war tomorrow.

The other six hundred people were led by Yang Kaiyuan back to Huining and deployed by Yang Yingqi.

Soon, an appointment came from Huining, with Zhi Yanchong as the head of the Han Department Meng'an (head of a thousand households), and Di Yu, Cao Guangbi, Xiao Tienu and others as Mouke (head of a hundred households). Zhi Yanchong also promoted the meritorious person in this battle as Pu Liyan (the head of ten households), and the good medicine boy rushed to Ningjiang Prefecture to treat the wounded, and the war dead were transported back to Hancun to be handled by Yang Yingqi.

However, before Zhi Yanchong took a breath, he heard that Xiao Si, a heavy minister of the Great Liao, rode 100,000 troops to ask for "border rebellion"!
