Chapter 826: The Decisive Battle

Li Wensheng couldn't listen to it anymore: "Auntie, why don't you know the situation?" ”

"The Song army organized a counterattack at the Fu Liang River, and the 20,000 troops of Zhao Wenhou and Nguyen on the east road were all annihilated; Li Jiyuan, the commander of the Yuanjiang River, was wiped out with 16,000 troops; Wei Shou'an, the sailor of the Fuliang River, 10,000 people surrendered; Of the 40,000 people who crossed the river to fight, only a few thousand escaped. ”

Li Daocheng still lowered his brows, and calmly supplemented the losses of the Vietnamese army: "Coupled with the losses of Liu Ji, Huang Jinman, Cen Qingbin, Hong Zhenhou, and Shen Jingfu before, 100,000 is just a conservative number." ”

Empress Dowager Li stood up, and her sharp voice resounded through the small room: "Impossible! Li Changjie won't be so useless, he must still be organizing a counterattack! ”

Li Daocheng said: "Li Changjie was blocked by the Song people in Liangjiang, and the Song army is crossing the Fuliang River, and there is no chance in this battle......

"Then we still have 100,000 in the rear! King Qin, let the whole country be King Qin! When the 100,000 army is dead, Song will stand in front of me! Empress Dowager Li became hysterical: "The lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliates the ministers to death!" It's all your incompetence and misguided country! Why don't you go to the battlefield?! ”

"Ridiculous!" Li Daocheng finally raised his head: "In my mother's heart, have you never had a cochine people?" Have you ever thought about the consequences? Are you going to hand over all the people and perish them all?! Funeral with your Li family?! ”

"Now we finally find a decent way to understand in front of Su Shaobao, if we don't comply, Niangniang will be sent to Bianjing Sansi for trial with Li Changjie and Li Yuechao, and Yiqiu Outside the Ming Dynasty!"

Empress Dowager Li's eyes lit up, as if she had found a life-saving straw: "What way?" Master, you say, what can you do? I listen to them all! ”

Li Daocheng took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve: "After drinking this, Niangniang will want to sleep and then ......"

Empress Dowager Li looked frightened: "I don't!" I'm not dead! You are going to bully my orphans and widows......"

After speaking, he sat down on the ground and wept bitterly: "The ancestors of the emperors and ancestors...... Look at you courtiers...... They're trying to kill me......"

Li Wensheng was extremely contemptuous of this aunt: "If the first king knew that you instigated the young master to kill all seventy-six people in the Shangyang First Palace, and made the young master bear the reputation of mutilating his mother-in-law and being unfilial in the world, I don't know if it will ruin your soul!" ”

Empress Dowager Li climbed to the feet of Li Wensheng: "Wensheng! Wensheng, how can you do this to me?! I'm your aunt! It was I who promoted you to be the champion of Da Yue! I made you a waiter of Qiande......"

Li Wensheng took two steps back as if hiding from evil ghosts: "Su Shaobao said, the Emperor Song has a will, even if Qiande goes to Bianjing, he is still the king of Jiaozhi County." ”

"But if my aunt is still unwilling to take on this responsibility, then the hundreds of thousands of life debts in the three states of the Song Dynasty will have to be borne by Qiande."

"Auntie, you better think about it......"

Empress Dowager Li distributed her head and was on the spot.

Li Daocheng didn't want to say more, got up and retired with Li Wensheng, and only then turned around and sighed when he came to the temple gate: "If the mother could tolerate the Empress Dowager Shangyang for a while, now there will be no one to share it......"

"Let's go by ourselves, we will tell the king that Niangniang is martyred for Jiaozhi and generously sacrificed her life. In his heart, you will always be a good mother and a good queen. ”

The two exited the stone bridge, and the Empress Dowager Liuli was paralyzed in the temple alone.

Coming to the outside of the Lingnuma Pond, Li Daocheng looked at the mottled shadows of the trees around the pool, stared for a moment, closed his eyes painfully, and whispered to the two yellow doors guarding the bridge: "If the Queen Mother can't make up her mind...... Help her. ”

……

If you come to the area between the Fuliang River and the lower reaches of the Yuan River, you will definitely feel very familiar.

Between the two rivers, there are several waterways and swamps that communicate with each other, somewhat similar to the area around Shanghai in the lower reaches of Taihu Lake.

The Dun River is a waterway connecting the Yuan River outside Thang Long Province and the Chang River mouth of the Phu Liang River.

Today's Li Changjie has been squeezed by the Song army into the narrow Yangtze River Delta between the confluence of rivers.

Again, the characteristics of a general are often both his shortcomings and his strengths.

Guo Kui used troops and never took risks, and in the early stage of the Song-Yue confrontation, he suffered a big loss from Li Changjie because of excessive caution.

But after the Baihedang counterattack, this feature became the noose around the neck of Li Changjie's Jiaozhi army.

Guo Lao Dog is as stable as Mount Tai, and it does not leak.

On 12 February, after making full preparations, the Song army used more than 500 captured Jiaozhi boats to cross the river at Ruyuedu under the protection of Li Xian's gunboat.

The Yijin army of 1,500 people established an outpost position in advance, and then the Song army crossed 40,000 people at one time, and at the same time ordered He Bin and Yang Congxian to lead the Guangnan Naval Division to patrol along the Dun River and the Fuliang River, and fight steadily and steadily, leaving no flaws for Li Changjie.

After that, it was a little bit of squeezing the space of the Jiaozhi army, and Li Changjie's remaining 50,000 troops were stunned and didn't have a chance.

After the waterway was completely occupied by the Song army, a large number of heavy ships were pulled from Ruxi Village, and the transportation was too easy and convenient.

The trap that Li Changjie designed for Song Jun in advance now put all his beard and tail into it.

However, he was by no means a commander who sat still, retreated all the way and shrank his forces, and when he came to Yanluo Mountain, the confluence of the Dun River and the Fuliang River, Li Yue's army in a desperate situation was backed by the mountains and prepared to launch a decisive battle with the Song army under the excellent geographical advantage.

This is also the decisive battle site pre-selected by Guo Kui, and the opponent's intentions are completely unexpected by him - the density of Li Yuejun's army has been compressed to the extreme, and if he does not rebound, civil strife will inevitably occur.

After receiving the Li Dynasty surrender table sent by Su You, Guo Kui knew in his heart that this was a hint that he should seize the time to expand the results of the battle.

Not only to present a more dazzling battle report to Zhao Ji, but also to rule Jiaozhi more easily in the future.

Guo Kui looked at the military map and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Su Mingrun played everyone.

not only played Li Changjie, but even played his old comrade-in-arms.

But Shi Guo Kui had to pinch his nose and admit the account.

Not to mention that Su You is the privy deputy envoy, when the dynasty is Shaobao, the person designated by the holy decree to deal with the aftermath. Not to mention this operation alone, it saved the entire battle situation, but also occupied the enemy's capital in one fell swoop, controlled the Jiaozhi clan, and trapped the current combatable soldiers of Jiaozhi.

This is to obtain the greatest and most perfect results at the smallest and most meager price.

Even if those military forces are put in their own hands, even if they know their power, they must be advancing from north to south, layer by layer, and there will be countless indiscriminate battles in the middle, countless attacks and defenses repeatedly, and there is a high probability that they will fall into the mud of Jiaozhi.

And after that? The grain and grass were exhausted, the army withdrew in embarrassment, and the swollen face and fat man declared his victory, but in fact he gained nothing.

According to his own style, he can't play this kind of trick of sealing his throat with a sword.

Seeing that Wang Zhongzheng was leading Guo Huai in, Guo Kui sighed at Juntu: "This time, it's really Su Mingrun's love." ”

Wang Zhongzheng said with a smile: "I told you before, didn't you still believe it?" ”

Guo Kui shook his head: "When he was in Shaanxi, he was extremely cautious, what was better than Fan Da Laozi, the ghost knew that when he came to Jiaozhi, he actually became sick on the water!" ”

Li Xian laughed: "After a little minister, the artillery array is already in place, just wait for the prime minister's order." ”

Guo Kui asked, "How many doors?" ”

Guo Huai said excitedly: "The scriptures are slightly fair, Su Shaobao ordered Li Liuhou to transfer forty thunderbolt cannons to us, it took a lot of effort to drag it here, when will we start fighting?" ”

Guo Kui smiled: "We are not in a hurry, the puppet king has already fallen into the hands of Shaobao, and the next step will definitely be to order the puppet king to descend, confiscate Li Changjie's military power, and order him to return to Beijing and be bound." ”

"Time is getting more and more urgent for Li Yi, and if you want to make a difference, it's just these days. Have the positions of the Forces nouvelles been put in order? ”

Wang Zhongzheng nodded: "Set up on the slopes of the two wings of the army." ”

Guo Kui knocked on the military map with a horsewhip: "Now it depends on Li Changjie, whether to choose to die late or quickly......"

On February 15, Li Changjie also learned of the situation in Thang Long, intercepted and killed the envoy, and launched a decisive battle.

In later generations, countless people were fascinated by this history, but no one really knew what Li Changjie thought at the time.

Perhaps he felt hopeless about the country he had served for decades, or he thought he still had a chance to win, or he was afraid that he would be met with his brother, or he would rather die in battle than die in the dirty political machinations of his own people and his enemies for the sake of the dignity of a warrior.

So in the end, he chose to launch a final counterattack under such an unfavorable situation.

The charge of the Cochins also began with the cavalry.

When their cavalry rushed out from between the two mountains of Yanyu Mountain, they were greeted by the fury of the Song army's forty thunderbolt cannons.

Guo Kui watched the battle in the crossbow array of the Chinese army, and for the first time personally saw the great power of the new weapons of the Great Song Dynasty.
