Chapter 81: The Victory of Fuyang
When Liu Zhiyuan was pondering the recall of Liu Chengyou and the Longqi Army, Liu Chengyou won his first military victory after leaving Taihang in Cizhou, which was still a big victory.
Because of the slaughter of Anyang, the soldiers of the whole army of Longqi shared the same hatred and hatred of the enemy, and became a mourning soldier. After the public memorial event, a simple aftermath of Anyang was carried out, and Liu Chengyou led the Longqi army full of revenge fireworks to the north to "pursue" the Khitan army.
Although Yelu Deguang is not very jealous of the Longqi Army, and even a little bit does not take Liu Chengyou in his eyes, it is impossible to be defenseless after all. When he led most of his troops north, he still left an army behind him.
Originally, a group of soldiers and horses were left in Ye County, at the junction of phase and magnetism, and they wanted to ambush the Longqi army, but Liu Chengyou was as stable as an old dog and did not fall into the trap. After the Yelu Deguang Brigade passed Cizhou, the army of Yelu Jieli was stationed in Handan, and Gao Tang Ying was demoted to the defense envoy of Cizhou, and led the troops and horses of the headquarters to be stationed in Fuyang, and the Cizhou was choked.
As for the original Cizhou assassin Li Hub, he was reported for helping the Cizhou thief Liang Hui to make a rebellion, and was tortured by the Khitans and was being a prisoner in the Liao camp.
Liu Chengyou led the army to the north, he had already found out the situation in Cizhou, and surrounded Fuyang with lightning speed.
Liu Chengyou's goal, of course, is not only in Fuyang, but also has the heart of encircling the point to help from the beginning. After setting up camp and occupying the surrounding geographical advantages, they waited for the reaction of the Liao army in the north.
On the Handan side, when Yelu Jieli received a letter asking for help, he smiled happily, and almost without thinking, led 10,000 cavalry to the south, straight to Fuyang, intending to annihilate the Longqi army under the city.
Yelu Jieli's approach was very supportive, he didn't carefully investigate the situation of the Longqi Army, he didn't make sufficient preparations for the march, and he didn't think about the tactical changes in detail, so he went all the way.
From beginning to end, Yelu Xie didn't seem to have paid attention to Liu Chengyou, his mind didn't turn a corner at all, and he was still immersed in the invincibility of going south to destroy the Jin Dynasty last year, as if he didn't notice the changes in the situation.
In fact, even to the point of retreating north, in the past half a year, the Khitan army has not suffered any major setbacks in the confrontation with the Han soldiers. As for the successive rebellions in Zhuzhou, the impact of the people of the Central Plains and Hebei before and after, although they were exhausted and exhausted, they did not feel the pain to the bone.
It turned out that underestimating Liu Chengyou would pay a price.
The current Longqi Army can be described as a gathering of talents, and although the troops are weak, they have the heart to swallow the Handan Liao Army. In the Yang of Fushui, the Longqi Mabu army waited for work, and while reaching Fuyang City, they had a meeting with the Yelu Jieli army from the south.
Similar to the previous battle with Geng Chong's US army, Liu Chengyou completely delegated power and let the generals of his subordinate armies play in accordance with the established operational guidelines. The difference is that Liu Chengyou personally sat in the Chinese army this time to coordinate the overall situation, and Zhang Yanwei, Guo Rong, and Xiang Xun helped to adjust the situation. At the same time, he also beat the drums himself, which boosted morale.
This battle was a time when the Longqi Army completely burst out its combat effectiveness, and with weak forces, it fought head-on with the Khitan infantry army and competed for hard power.
The south is close to Fushui, and the east is based on Fuyang, which has a kind of meaning of fighting against the water and putting it to death. Coupled with the fact that the Longqi Army was well-trained, had high morale, and was well prepared before the battle, it had always had the upper hand from the beginning of the battle.
After the confrontation, the fierce soldiers were small for half a day, the attack was not down, a wave of counter-charge, Yelu Jieli led the Khitan infantry cavalry was taken by surprise, the Longqi army was full of morale, the more brave the more they fought, and the battle line was pushed back more than two miles.
When Yelu Xie finally stabilized his position, a battalion of cavalry arranged by Liu Chengyou in advance attacked from the rear under the command of Han Tong, and directly defeated the Khitan army and won a big victory!
Originally, Yelujie also had the intention of attacking Fuyang City inside and outside to annihilate the Longqi Army. It's a pity that until the defeat, Gao Tangying in Fuyang City didn't move at all.
This surprised Liu Chengyou, and in the end he didn't use the rear hand that was used to deal with the defenders of Fuyang.
After chasing the dead for more than 30 miles to the north, Liu Chengyou collected his troops and achieved a lot of results. The cavalry army led by Yelu Jieli was definitely less than half of those who could return north, and the rest were either killed or captured.
There is a town in the north of Fuyang, and there are Lian Po and Lin Xiangru tombs nearby, and Liu Chengyou Mingjin is here.
"Your Highness, Chief Hu of Yelu Xie Li, fled quickly and failed to capture him alive!" Beside the town, he paid homage to the Lian Po Ancestral Hall, and the pursuing armies returned one after another, Zhang Yanwei took the lead and reported to Liu Chengyou.
"The general of the defeated army is not brave enough to speak, a Yelu Jieli, if you escape, you will escape." Liu Chengyou put his hands behind his back, glanced at the somewhat dilapidated ancestral temple, and asked casually, "How are the results?" ”
Although there is no detailed report, it can be roughly estimated that more than 3,000 enemy soldiers were killed and wounded in the confrontation and pursuit battle under the city. In addition, the total number of prisoners of the various armies was more than 1,000. The enemy is defeated and scattered, and there are innumerable. Guo Rong said to Liu Chengyou.
"Order the cavalry to go north, continue the pursuit, and continue to reconnoiter the situation of the Khitan Beigui army!" With his head bowed, Liu Chengyou ordered: "The rest of the armies, clean up the battlefield, and rest in Fuyang!" ”
"Yes!"
"Your Highness, what to do with those captives!" At this time, Zhang Yanwei suddenly asked.
Looking back and turning around, Liu Chengyou looked at Zhang Yanwei, only to see that his face was very serious. Facing Liu Chengyou's gaze, the horizontal flesh on Zhang Yanwei's face seemed to be full of ferocity, and he said coldly: "These captives are basically Khitans!" ”
His brows frowned slightly, and Liu Chengyou asked softly, "What do you think, how to deal with it?" ”
"Kill!" Zhang Yanwei replied without hesitation, murderous: "Avenge the people of Anyang!" ”
Liu Chengyou looked at Guo Rong, Guo Rong's face was as usual, and he was not as emotional as Zhang Yanwei, but said calmly: "Your Highness, we don't have extra troops to take care of these prisoners, and we don't have extra food......"
Of course, Liu Chengyou understood what Guo Rong meant, waved his hand, and said indifferently: "Then kill it!" ”
agreeing to kill the prisoners, Liu Chengyou may have the intention of relieving the revenge of the soldiers under his command, but what he really thinks about is the environment he is in at this time, and he has no spare energy to take care of these Khitans, let alone let them go directly. What's more, the Khitans are no better than the Yan people before!
If there are things that are contrary to harmony and harmony, I will not elaborate on them.
All the way back to the south, return to Fuyang City, clean up the aftermath, the victorious army, and press to this Cizhou City with a more majestic and invincible momentum. Liu Chengyou clearly felt that after the battle between Fuyang and the Khitan soldiers and horses, the whole army of Longqi had entered a vigorous state of self-confidence, and its morale was extremely strong.
When he went to the city, he was planning to solve Fuyang and enter the city to rest, and Liu Chengyou received a report from his subordinates: "Your Highness, the city sent someone to send a message to surrender!" ”
