Jiangjie Castle is the county seat of Longlin County in the northern part of the Kei Kingdom.

At dawn, in a dense forest about ten miles away from Jiangjie City, Wu Yangjing and Rong Yi were standing on a hill, looking at Jiangjie City with binoculars.

The Jiangjie city that greeted the eyes of the two of them, the city is eleven or twelve meters high, and in this era, it belongs to a medium-sized city that is neither high nor short. The moat outside has introduced living water, and the drawbridge has been lowered at the moment, straddle the moat.

The gates of the city were opened, and a few people and merchants came and went.

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Wu Yangjing said to Rong Yan, "General Rong, the gate of Jiangjie City is still open in the early morning, and there are still people and merchants coming in and out. It seems that the news of our army's occupation of Heishuili has not been received by the defenders of Jiangjie City. ”

Rong Yan listened, hugged his fists and said to Wu Yangjing, "General, without further ado." Our army has been resting for more than an hour now, and we should launch a surprise attack on Jiangjie City as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be too late for a change. ”

Rong Yan raised his binoculars again, looked at Jiangjie City for a while, and said to Rong Yan, "General Rong, the first batch of cavalry to capture Jiangjie City cannot be too many, at most one battalion of more than 300 people. Let Colonel Liu Shou personally lead the team and be sure to occupy the city gate. ”

In the early spring, the rising sun is extraordinarily gentle, and the warm sunlight sprinkles on people's bodies, making people extraordinarily comfortable.

Liu Shou led a group of more than 300 cavalrymen, wearing the military uniforms of the Ji Kingdom, and slowly came towards Jiangjie City.

When he was about to reach the city gate, Liu Shou instructed the Liao soldiers behind him, "Brothers, take it easy and slow down." ”

"No." The people behind Liu Shou hurriedly agreed.

So, Liu Shou and the others walked slowly and unhurriedly, and soon arrived at the suspension bridge.

The Ji army, who was guarding the city gate, saw Liu Shou and his party and found that it was the military uniform of the Ji army, but they did not react for a while.

When Liu Shou and they crossed the suspension bridge, at this time, a captain of the Kei army guarding the city gate, who was more experienced, shouted, "No, our army does not have cavalry with such a appearance, close the city gate quickly." ”

However, at this time, it was too late to find out that it was not the cavalry of the Ji army. There were only two soldiers and twenty men at the gates, and there was time to close the gates.

Colonel Liu Shou, with a hideous face at the moment, shouted, "Second and third sons, rush up for me and seize the city gate." ”

After shouting, Liu Shouce took the lead and rushed towards the city gate.

The more than 300 cavalry of the Liao army behind him all shouted, "Kill!" ”

Immediately following Liu Shou rushed to the gate of Jiangjie City, and suddenly the war horses neighed at the gate of Jiangjie City, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Lieutenant General Wu Yangjing and Rong Yan, who were in the distance, saw this situation with binoculars, looked at each other and laughed, and shouted together, "Soldiers, rush up for me and occupy Jiangjie City." ”

In the thirteenth year of King Wucheng, on March 24, Jiangjie City, the capital of Longlin County, Jiguo, was lost.

The Mazishui defense line in the eastern part of the Ji country, led by the general Jing Weimin, led by the 100,000 Ji army. At this moment, it was also cut off by the Liao army and completely surrounded.

March 25, Suncheon Castle.

Gao Min, the commander of the Ji Army, who had just led the army to retreat to Shunchuan City, also received the news of the loss of Baiyuanli at this time. Looking at the map on the wall, Gao Min found that the entire army in the northern part of the Ji Kingdom had formed a large encirclement by the Liao army.

But the most important thing is that now on the defense line from Suchuan to Shunchuan, the nearly 150,000 Ji army has less than ten days of grain and grass left. And the connection with Keito was completely cut off, and the situation in the eastern part of the war is not known now?

A sad mood suddenly surged into Gao Min's heart.

After thinking about it for a long time, Prime Minister Gao Min couldn't care about sentimentality, and immediately held a military meeting of the Ji army in Shuncheon.

Looking at the generals of the Ji army who were waiting for the blonde hair in the conference hall, their faces were all pale and silent, and Gao Min's heart was even more uncomfortable. The Ji army was defeated in successive battles, the back road was cut off, and the morale was so low, how could this battle be fought?

Coughing twice, Gao Minqiang cheered himself up, and said to the many generals of the Ji army in the hall, such as the blonde hair, "Generals, although the current situation is difficult for my Ji army, there is still room for recovery. Generals, don't be discouraged! ”

Jin Fa Chu and many other generals of the Ji army, after listening to Gao Min's words, all looked up at Gao Min. There are 400,000 troops on the western front, and now there are less than 150,000 people left.

Gao Min coughed twice, and slowly said to the many generals of the Ji Kingdom, "Generals, although I don't know how many Liao troops occupied Pingcheng, Shun'an, and Baiyuanli?" However, it is expected that these three Liao armies will be partial divisions, and there are not many soldiers. ”

"Now that I am the king of Jidu, I must already know at this moment that the current situation of my front-line army will definitely send troops to reinforce our army. If this is as expected, the reinforcements sent by our king will definitely march towards Pingcheng. ”

"As long as our army sticks to the defense line around Suchuan and Shunchuan, and then sends a large army to the south, with the reinforcements sent by our king, the Liao army that attacks Pingcheng in the north and south will definitely be able to recapture Pingcheng."

"As a result, the Liao army in Shun'an and Baiyuan fell into the encirclement of our army and was self-defeating. Our army also regained contact with the capital of Ji, and relying on the defense line of Suchuan and Shunchuan, with its back to the capital of Jidu, it was able to continue to deal with the Liao army. ”

After listening to Gao Min's words, Jin Fa and many other generals of the Ji army slowly came to their senses. Yes! According to what Xiangguo said, as long as the reoccupied Heiseong is re-occupied, then the current situation can indeed be fundamentally changed!

Jin Fa waited for the generals of the Ji army, looked at each other, and bowed to Gao Min with their fists together, "What Xiangguo said is true." Please give an order, and we will obey it. ”

Seeing the morale of the many generals of the Ji army, Gao Min had been encouraged by himself, nodded, and slowly said to the generals, "Generals, the country has raised soldiers for hundreds of years. Now that the country of Mini has reached the most difficult moment, it is the time when you need the generals to turn the tide. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Min stood up and ordered loudly, "This Xiangguo orders that this Prime Minister will personally lead an army of 70,000 to the south tomorrow and recapture Pingcheng." General Jin Fachuan led the rest of the generals, and nearly 80,000 troops held the Suchuan and Shunchuan defense lines, and the Liao army must not be allowed to break through. ”

Many generals such as Jin Fa and other generals agreed together, "No." ”

On the same day, Bo Wang, the commander of the eastern Liao army, received a secret letter from a pigeon interspersed with Wu Yangjing and Rong Yan behind enemy lines.

After knowing that Jiangjie City was taken by the Liao army, Bo Wang was extremely excited, laughed, and said to the guards beside him, "Quickly inform the prince, just say that my eastern army has besieged the Ji army in the area of the Mazishui defense line." ”

"No."

At the same time that Gao Min was holding a military meeting in Shunchuan City, he did not expect that the Liao army, reinforced by Wang Shi's 50,000 troops, under the leadership of General Liu Sheng, had landed in Huajinli on the night of the 23rd.

After resting for a day in Huajinli, General Liu Sheng did not delay and led an army of 50,000 troops to Pingcheng in the early morning of the 25th.

The 40,000 reinforcements sent by the lord of the Mini State, under the leadership of the general of the Mini State, Goldman Sach, also came to the city of Heicheng in the early morning of the 26th after being reorganized and gathered.

Although the distance from Pingcheng to Pingcheng was closer than Huajinli to Pingcheng, the reinforcements led by Goldman Sachs set off one day later than the Liao army led by Liu Sheng, and the Liao army marched much faster than the Ji army.

In this way, the reinforcements of the two sides of Liaodi and Kei, without knowing each other, met unexpectedly on the way to Pingcheng.

A scout in front of the Liao army hurried to the front of General Liu Sheng, "General Qiyu, thirty-five miles ahead, I found that the Ji army probably had more than 40,000 people. ”

At this time, one of the scouts of the Ji army was also reporting to Gao Sheng, the commander of the Ji army, "Report, general, more than 30 miles ahead, I found most of the Liao army, and the number is about the same as our army." ”

Liu Sheng and Gao Sheng, the commanders of the reinforcements on both sides, were taken aback after hearing the reports of their respective reprimands.

Such encounters, in this day and age, are avoided by all armies. Because you don't know the specific situation of the other party! There is no time to find out the specific situation of the other party.

Liu Sheng did not hesitate at all, and then ordered the adjutant general beside him, "Order our army to stop advancing, line up, and prepare for battle." ”

At this time, Goldman Sachs also said to the herald beside him, "Stop moving forward and order our army to line up and prepare for battle." ”

With the orders of the commanders of both sides, the reinforcements of the armies on both sides began to line up.

This time, Liu Sheng came without too many cavalry, let alone too many catapults. However, when he set out from Huajinli, he brought out a thousand cavalry from the Huajinri camp, and together with the cavalry in his own army, there were a total of 2,000 cavalry. Catapults, also twenty in total.

In the army of the Kingdom of Ji, the cavalry in the Yulin army of King Ji this time was more than twice as large as that of the Liao army, about 5,000 people. However, the equipment and weapons are far from those of the cavalry of the Liao army.

The cavalry of the Liao army got off their horses, fed some soybeans to the horses, and then gave the horses some salt water, and then put on vests on the horses, turned over on their horses, and slowly lined up in the Chinese army according to the orders of the commander Liu Sheng.

The Ji army was also lined up at this moment, and the armies of both sides slowly approached each other.

Liu Sheng rode on a horse, took out a monocular, looked at the Ji army, and found that the opponent's military formation, except for the Chinese army of about 20,000 people, which was relatively neatly arranged, the left and right armies were scattered and disorganized, and the ages were different from the young, so he had a plan in his heart.

If the coach of the Ji army to reinforce Goldman Sachs knew what Liu Sheng was thinking, he would definitely scold. There is no way, the 20,000 Chinese army is the Yulin army that protects the lord of the country, but the left and right armies are new troops that have just been recruited, so naturally they will not be rigorous.

Liu Sheng took the lead in ordering "the Chinese army presses up, the left and right armies attack, and I will crush the enemy's left and right armies." ”

All the soldiers of the Liao army shouted in unison, "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

The Liao army shouted, and the whole army, with the belief of victory, immediately killed the Ji army.

And Gao Sheng, the commander of the reinforcements of the Ji army, also shouted to the soldiers of the Ji army at this moment, "Soldiers, defeat the enemy army in front of me, our army will win!" ”
