Chapter 64: The Battle of Liaoji (6)
Gao Minzhi, the commander of the Ji army, said this and did this because after Wang Shi, the general of the Liao army, and other generals led the army to occupy the cities behind the Ji army such as Pingcheng, Shun'an, and Baiyuanli, in fact, a large encirclement had been formed against the Ji army.
Now the initiative of the entire battle situation is completely controlled by the Liao army, and the Ji army is now quite passive. You can only lead the army south as soon as possible and recapture Pingcheng and other places, otherwise you will face the danger of annihilation.
After listening to the words of the commander Gao Min, Jin Fa couldn't help sighing, and knew that this was the only way out for the Ji army at present, and said to Gao Min: "Xiangguo, a certain general knows how to do it, so he will immediately organize the army to retreat." ”
Then he said to a few guards who were supporting Gao Min: "You protect Xiangguo as soon as possible and retreat to Shunchuan." I organized a large army, and then I arrived. ”
Several of Gao Min's personal guards, also knowing that the situation was urgent, helped Gao Min down the city wall, helped Gao Min to a van, and withdrew along the south gate to Shun'an.
Jin Fazhuan couldn't care about the soldiers who were fighting with the Liao army, and shouted to his deputy general Su Li: "According to Xiangguo's order, I order my forward Ji army to resist the attack of the Liao army at all costs; Ordered our rear army to retreat rapidly to the area of Suchuan and Shunchuan. ”
Su Li, the deputy general, replied in a choked voice: "No." ”
In this way, the soldiers of the 150,000 or 60,000 Ji Army who were fighting with the Liao army on the defense line of the Beiba Shuihe River. Without knowing any news, when he fought bloodily with the Liao army, he was thrown to the Liao army by the commander Gao Min.
The generals of the Ji Army, who were waiting to fight on the front line, could not find the commander Gao Min when they sent someone to report the military situation to the commander Gao Min and ask for reinforcements. After inquiring in the end, I learned that the commander Gao Min led the rear army and had retreated. The soldiers who fought bloodily with the Liao army at the front were shamefully abandoned by the commander Gao Min.
The generals of the Ji State who were fighting against the Liao army, after hearing the news, were so angry! There is no one who does not scold the commander Gao Min, and the eighteenth generation of the ancestral women of the coach Gao Min were all "greeted" by the generals of these Ji Army.
My own coach has run away, how can this battle be fought?
Then the news spread to the soldiers below the Ji army, and the entire Beiba Shuihe defense line, the 150,000 or 60,000 Ji troops shouted and became a mess, and the news also reached the ears of the Liao army.
When the commander of the Liao army, Rong Yan, learned the news, he was stunned. Instead of being as happy as the other generals of the Liao army, he frowned. For Gao Min, the coach of the Ji Army, he is really impressed.
It's okay to be a high-ranking person in the dark way! was able to survive with a broken arm, abandon so many soldiers and grain and grass, and retreat backwards, which was simply a fight with himself. In this way, although a part of the troops was lost, it was indeed able to withdraw most of the Kei army to the second line of defense at Suchon and Suncheon.
Rong Yan knew that this was not the time to sigh, so he immediately ordered: "Pass the order to the whole army and let the Ji army surrender." ”
Subsequently, the Liao army of the entire Beiba Shuihe defense line shouted in unison: "Surrender!" Fall! Fall! ”
The Ji army was in the defense line of the Beiba Shuihe River, with an army of nearly 1560,000. At this moment, without waiting for the order of his general, he automatically put down his weapon, and then held his head in both hands, squatted on the ground, and waited for the surrender of the Liao army.
On the one hand, Rong Yan arranged for the Liao army to accept the surrender of the Ji army, and on the other hand, he urgently sent someone to report to Ji Kang.
When Ji Kang heard the news, he was stunned like a grub.
After half a ring, he said to Lu Zhonglian beside him: "Sir, this Prime Minister Gao Min is extraordinary!" ”
Lu Zhonglian nodded, looked at the map, and said to Ji Kang: "Childe, Gao Min, the commander of the Ji army, definitely wants to lead the army and retreat to the second line of defense from Suchuan to Shunchuan." Now the Ji army abandoned by Gao Min is only 1560,000. ”
"If he is allowed to run back to the second line of defense so smoothly, the army he leads will be more than 200,000. The pressure on General Wang Shi was too great. Childe, we must send troops to bite the army of the Kingdom of Ji to the death, and we can't let them run back. ”
Ji Kang looked at the map, pondered for a moment, and said to Lu Zhonglian: "That's true, we can't let Gao Min, the commander of the Ji army, lead the main army to withdraw so easily, and say that we have to "bite" another piece of meat on him." ”
Speaking of this, Ji Kang said to Shi Kang beside him: "Shi Kang, you go and tell General Rong Yan in person, tell him my and Mr. Lu's opinions, and let him deal with it as soon as possible." ”
Shi Dang clenched his fists and bowed, "No." ”
After receiving Shi Kang's report, Rong Yan said to Shi Kang: "You go back and tell the prince, just say that General Ben already knows." A certain general was already ready to personally lead the cavalry and go in pursuit of the enemy. ”
After that, he said to the herald beside him: "Come, order all 40,000 cavalry to gather at once and follow me to pursue the enemy." Ordered Major General Tian Dali to be responsible for all aftermath matters after the war. ”
The herald hurriedly clenched his fists and replied, "No." Then he rode his horse and gave orders.
I have to say that Gao Min, the coach of the Ji Army, is indeed a ruthless character.
While leading the army to retreat, it was also considered that the Liao army would send troops to pursue. On the one hand, it retreated, and on the other hand, a small number of Ji troops were arranged to fortify it layer by layer, blocking the pursuit of the Liao army along the way.
He led the army to such a place as Wende, looked at the terrain, and said slowly to the blonde who followed: "General Jin, I expect that the Liao army will chase and kill later, and the terrain here is conducive to ambushes. ”
"We can use a small force to block the enemy in front of Wende City, and the rest of the army will set up ambushes on both sides of Wende City. As long as the pursuers of the Liao army can be defeated here, our army will be able to smoothly return to the defense line of Shunchuan and Suchuan. ”
Jin Fa slowly looked at the terrain here in Wende, nodded and said to Gao Min: "What Xiangguo said is extremely true, this place is conducive to ambush. As long as the pursuers of the Liao army are defeated here, our army will no longer have to worry about it on the way back. ”
After the two agreed, they ordered a small part of the Ji army to garrison Wende City, and the main force was ambushed in the hills on both sides of Wende, preparing to ambush the Liao army.
Rong Yan, the general of the Liao army who followed, moved slowly under the layers of resistance from the small number of troops of the Ji army. In this regard, Rong Yan attaches more importance to Gao Min, the commander of the Ji Army.
Due to the fact that it was already dark and the terrain was not very familiar. Rong Yan did not dare to lead the Liao army to pursue too much, for fear of being ambushed.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Rong Yi thought about it for a while, and ordered to stop the pursuit and set up camp on the spot.
On the other hand, he sent someone to report to Ji Kang, and asked Ji Kang to send Tian Dali to lead an army of 100,000 to hurry over, preparing to pursue the main force of the Ji army tomorrow.
Gao Min, the commander of the Ji country, waited until midnight, but he didn't see the Ji army coming, knowing that this plan was seen through by Rong Yan, and he regretted it in his heart. Ordered General Yibi to lead an army of 20,000 to hold Wende City and block the pursuit of the Liao army.
He led the rest of the Ji army, regardless of fatigue, and quickly retreated to the rear.
Up to now, Gao Min, the commander of the Ji army, has successively dropped nearly 70,000 troops one after another to block the pursuit of the Liao army. The Ji army led by himself still has 150,000 or 60,000 left.
On the afternoon of 25 April, the Kei army retreated to the Suchon and Shunchon defensive lines. After Gao Min counted all the numbers of the Ji army, he found that the Ji army ran a lot along the way. Now the Ji army on the second line of defense is less than 150,000.
The commander of the Liao army, Rong Yan, led 150,000 Liao troops to Wende City at dawn the next day, preparing to attack Wende City.
The more than 20,000 Ji troops guarding Wende City, seeing that the commander Gao Min led the army to run away again, had no heart to resist, and under the leadership of the guard, they laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Ji army.
Rong Hui left 5,000 Liao troops to garrison Wende City, and he led the army to the defense line of Suchuan and Shunchuan. and urgently ordered the rear army to come quickly, ready to take down the entire remaining Ji army in one fell swoop.
Gao Min, the commander of the Ji army, who retreated to Suchuan and Shunchuan, on the one hand, ordered the Ji army to strengthen the defense line of Suchuan and Shunchuan, and on the other hand, he reorganized the army and prepared to launch an attack on Pingcheng in an attempt to open up the connection with the capital of Ji.
At this time, the lord of the country in Jidu, Ji Shi, received the news of the loss of Pingcheng and Shun'an in advance than Xiangguo Gaomin, and he was immediately shocked and trembled all over.
In the court, he said to the ministers of the Kingdom of Ji: "How can this be? How so? ”
Seeing this, General Gao Sachs came out and said to Kei: "King, now we must send troops to take Pingcheng and open up the connection with the main force of our frontline Ji army, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Ji Shi nodded and said to Gao Sheng: "General Gao, now the main force of our army is on the front line. I don't have many troops left! ”
Goldman Sachs pondered for a moment and said to Kei: "King, now I have to do my best to help my front-line army. Wang Shangke sent his own Yulin army, and then requisitioned the city near Jidu, and men over the age of fifteen enlisted in the army. ”
After listening to Gao Sheng's words, Ji Shi gritted his teeth and said to Gao Sheng: "General Gao, there are 20,000 Yulin troops outnumbered, and I can give you 15,000, you quickly send people to Jidu and nearby to recruit troops, you are responsible for this matter, the sooner the better." ”
The general Gao Sachs bowed to Kei with his fists in his fists and said, "Weichen obeys orders." ”
Just when the lord of the Kingdom of Kei, after discussing with his ministers in the court, was busy transferring troops and preparing to reinforce the front-line army. The Liao army reinforced the 50,000 troops of General Wang Shi, and under the leadership of General Liu Sheng, they had already arrived in Huajinli by boat.
At this time, the 30,000 cavalry led by Wuyang Jing and Deputy General Rong Yan in the east had already occupied Heishuili.
Just after taking Heishuili, Wu Yangjing and Rong Yan couldn't take a break, and were discussing how to occupy Jiangjie City.
"General Wu, a certain general thinks that now that we have occupied the news of Heishuili, the defenders of Jiangjie City have not received the information. At this moment, our army should ignore fatigue and rush to Jiangjie City, so as to be able to strike the enemy by surprise. ”
Rong Yan, the deputy general and political commissar, cautiously suggested to Wu Yangjing.
This situation existed in view of the communication and transportation conditions of this era. Therefore, Rong Yan suggested this to Wu Yangjing.
Wu Yangjing listened, looked at the map on the wall, thought for a moment, and nodded: "General Rong Yan, what you said is extremely true. Our army is all cavalry, one man and two horses, and after resting for two hours, we can march to the river boundary. ”
Once the two agreed, there was no further delay. Without stopping, he led 30,000 cavalry to march rapidly towards Jiangjie City, preparing to launch a surprise attack on Jiangjie City.
In the northern part of the entire Kei country, the army is criss-crossed and fought together.
