CHAPTER XXVI

The four years of Song Zhenghe, the fourth year of Liao Tianqing, and the fourteenth year of Yang Yingqi.

In Liaojing, after the Liao lord heard that Ningjiang Prefecture had fallen, he began to pay a little attention to the Jurchens, so he summoned his ministers and held a meeting to counteract. Soon, the opinions of the ministers were divided into two factions.

Xiao Tuosi, the deputy commander of the Han People's Palace, said: "Although the Jurchen is small, its people are brave and good at fighting. Our troops have not been trained for a long time, and if they encounter a strong enemy, the slightest disadvantage will be disadvantaged, and the situation will be difficult to control. For today's plan, Mo Ruo sent soldiers and horses from all walks of life across the country to completely crush the morale of the Jurchens with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai! ”

His proposal was as bold as it was terrifying. If the Liao State mobilizes, I am afraid that there will be nearly a million soldiers, and the Jurchen soldiers, even 10,000 people, will not be able to make up. No matter how brave and good the Jurchens are, the number is too far apart after all, and even the momentum will be completely suppressed. Once the Jurchen war is unfavorable, the appeal of Aguta among the Jurchens will definitely be greatly reduced, and the trend of eliminating the other's growth will be achieved.

However, this plan consumes too much of the national strength of the Great Liao, and there are many flaws. Xiao Deledai, the privy envoy of the Northern Court, was the first to stand up and object: "If it is like Toth's plan, it is only a sign of weakness to the world." In my opinion, just a water skiing horse is enough. ”

After some debate between the two sides, in the end it was Shaw Lady who prevailed. At present, Xiao Sixian, the elder brother of Xiao Fengxian, the king of Lanling, is the commander of the Northeast Road, and leads the Khitan, Xi, Han, Bohai and other armies and horses to the east.

The Liao army was slow to advance, but the Jurchens reacted quickly. After receiving the information, Aguta mobilized troops to take the initiative to attack, and Zhi Yanchong also led 350 people from the Han Department to join the division.

Zhi Yanchong, Xiao Tienu, and Aluman each led more than 30 veteran troops as the vanguard -- this hundred cavalry was the essence of the Han army, and its combat effectiveness was very strong.

The newly surrendered two hundred Han troops were led by Di Yu and Cao Guangbi respectively, and the foundation of these people was already very good, and after a month of training, they had swept away the laziness in the Liao army. Since every four people were led by a Han veteran, Di Yu and Cao Guangbi had a strong control over these two hundred people. In addition, the armor and food supplied by the Han Department were more complete than those supplied by the Khitans, and the leaders such as Zhe Yanchong had extraordinary leadership temperament, so these two hundred people returned to their hearts as quickly as the five or six hundred people of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Zhe Yanchong and the Jurchen tribes met by the riverside, and the number was less than 4,000. Although the Jurchens had won the victory in Ningjiang Prefecture, their self-confidence had not yet been fully established, and their fanaticism for victory had not yet been fully aroused. In the face of the 100,000 troops of the Liao State, many Jurchens actually had hidden fears in their hearts. However, Aguta's personal charm offset these unfavorable factors, and everyone firmly believes that under his leadership, the Jurchen will definitely rise!

Zongxiong is Zhi Yanchong's brother-in-law, and Wan Yanhu is looking at the rear with a big belly, but the two don't talk about personal matters when they meet.

Zong Xiong asked Zhi Yan Chong: "The Liao army is known as 100,000, what do you think?" "He is a very strong man, he has been very diligent in learning and reading in the past year, and he has been a little bookish, and his culture is relatively high among the Jurchens.

Zheyan said: "The number of 100,000 is nonsense! But that's good, in the future, if we win the battle, we can claim that I have 3,000 men and destroyed 100,000 enemies! It's bound to be a big morale! When we win this battle, the Liao people will no longer be able to help us. We bear the risk of mountains and rivers, and we are more than capable of self-defense! ”

Zong Xiong said: "How can you have such great confidence in victory? ”

Orihiko said: "This is not confidence, but determination. There is no way back, and this battle must be won. Otherwise, the Jurchen tribes will be alienated from us, and the other tribes will not obey us, and it will be difficult for us to get a new source of troops - in short, we will have a cliff behind us, and if we take a step back, we will never recover! ”

After Zongxiong returned to the account, Zhi Yanchong asked Di Yu, "What does Mr. Di think about this battle?" ”

Di Yu said: "As you said, the Jurchens have no way to retreat. Even if the Liao army in front is a tiger and wolf, they can only rush forward - not to mention that the people in front of them may only be tens of thousands of sick dogs who can't eat enough! ”

After a little rectification, the army continued to march, but before it reached the Duck River, it was already dark, so they camped and rested. At night, Zongxiong suddenly ran to give an order, and ordered Zhi Yanchong to quickly transfer troops to keep up.

Orihiko Chong exclaimed, "Why is there such an order in the middle of the night? ”

Zongxiong said: "Uncle just touched the pillow tonight and involuntarily raised his head, as if he was held up and not allowed to sleep!" The uncle said that this was a warning to the gods, so he ordered the march overnight. ”

After Zongxiong finished speaking, he quickly left, Di Yu and the others looked at Zhi Yanchong, and Zhi Yanchong muttered: "Some genius generals often have an extraordinary sense of danger. These inductions don't make sense, but they do exist! Du Bo is the most fierce among the people, this move must be reasonable! ”

Xiao Tienu said: "Not bad! ”

At that moment, the Han Department mobilized, lit torches and marched overnight, Xiao Tienu and Aluman rushed to the front. It was only at dawn that we arrived at the Duck River. The outpost came to report that there was a Liao army destroying Ling Road by the river! Intended to prevent the Jurchens from crossing the river.

Zhi Yanchong sneered: "Destroying the road to resist the enemy, this is still a precaution rather than an attack!" The Khitan people are not enterprising enough, and we will win this battle! ”

The Hanbu group shouted "must win"! Resounding through the wilderness.

The Liao soldiers who destroyed Ling Dao were taken aback when they heard this. The front of Ah Gu has moved, leading the strong soldiers to attack the Liao soldiers who are destroying Ling Dao. The Liao soldiers rushed to meet the enemy and dispersed as soon as they rushed. Ah Guda chased the tail of the Liao soldiers across the Yazi River, and the Liao army on the opposite side reacted that the Jurchens had already landed!

Before Zhi Yanchong had time to cross the river, the opposite side had already been killed, and occasionally saw Xiao Tienu and Aluman leading the strong horses to rush back and forth in the dust, and Zhi Yanchong choked his wrist and said: "There are few people on the other side!" We're afraid it's too late! ”

Cao Guangbi said: "Although our army is strong, the enemy is outnumbered, and the situation is not good!" ”

At this time, Ah Guda didn't care about the response of the back road, but with a ruthless spirit, he led thousands of people straight to the Liao army's garrison! Suddenly, a strong wind rose and dust filled the air. Di Yu was overjoyed and said: "God help our army!" ”

The Jurchens are well-trained, and the army is early at this moment, but the Khitan side is a temporary gathering of soldiers and horses, the eastern army does not know the western army, the Han soldiers do not obey the Khitan, and they can't see the banner command in the wind and dust, and they all fight separately, and they are in chaos.

Ah Gu roared and rushed to the front, and his son Zongwang, Wushu, nephew Zongxiong and others hurriedly guarded the left and right. The soldiers of the Wanyan Department are either relatives or friends, and they can recognize friends and foes by their figures in the dust. The Liao army fought each other in a panic.
