Chapter 27: The Great War of Liaodong (7)
The sound of fighting at the head of Fanhan City calmed down again.
Gao Min, the commander of the Ji Kingdom, stood in the distance, looked at Fanhan City, and said to the generals beside him: "Even though our army provokes in every way, the Fanhan defenders still can't come out of the city, what can you do?" ”
The generals looked at each other and shook their heads.
Gao Min was silent for a while, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He said to the herald: "Send someone to check on the situation of the battle of Anseong and report back as soon as possible." ”
"No."
Wang Shi, who was standing at the head of Fanhan City, was covered in blood, looked at the Ji army retreating into the distance, and said to the nearby An Min, who was also covered in blood, "How are the casualties of our army?" ”
An Min hurriedly replied: "General, the casualties are not big. The soldiers want to go out of the city to fight the enemy! ”
Wang Shi shook his head and said: "The prince has repeatedly explained, only let us defend Fanhan and wait for my main army to come back to help, so that we can go out of the city and fight the enemy army!" It's a pity for the people of a few villages outside Fanhan. Let's follow the deployment of the entire campaign, and I don't know what the outcome of the Battle of Anseong will be? ”
When An Min heard Wang Shi say this, his eyes turned red, and he said to Wang Shi: "General, don't blame yourself too much, this is the order of the Junhou Mansion." This invasion of our Liao by the Three Kingdoms is a battle of life and death for our Liao land. The people who held out to the villages outside the city also understood that they ......"
Then he choked up and said, "General, our people are relying on their own sacrifices to delay the enemy's invasion!" Our scouts reported that there were still a few villages to the east of the city that the enemy had not captured. When my main force comes, we will take revenge on our people. ”
At this moment, a lieutenant ran over and knelt down on one knee to report: "General Qiyu, my Liaodi Navy Captains Li Min and Zhang Tian have delivered grain and grass to the West Gate and asked to join the battle sequence. ”
When Wang Shi heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "This is great, this navy is the treasure of the prince." ”
After thinking about it, he sighed, and said, "Tell them that they are not needed for the time being." We cannot allow the officers and men of the Navy to be consumed on land warfare, they will be of great use in the future, let them be on standby on board. ”
"No."
At present, the Liaodi Navy already has three large warships, and according to the plan of the Junhou Mansion, the shipyard will launch four large ships next year. The strength of the navy has reached 4,000, and after more than a year of exploration, the navy has initially acquired combat capability in the course of training and exercises.
After waiting for Wang Shi's order, Zhang Tian sighed and said, "Li Min, this is not to let our navy join the battle!" Our navy can also fight on land. No, should we go and meet General Wang Shi and personally ask him to allow us to join the battle. ”
Li Min shook his head and said, "No need." Zhang Tian, go back to the ship and stand by! We must obey orders. It is the iron law that the soldier has obeyed orders as his vocation, which we have learned in the academy. ”
Zhang Tian sighed again and said: "The navy has been established for more than a year, and the most important task it has received is to transport materials in eastern and western Liaoning. ”
Li Min pondered for a moment, and said in a firm tone: "Our navy is an army in the battle sequence, and our navy will definitely fight!" We are not allowed to fight now because we are not doing well.
Zhang Tian, we must continue to work hard and not disappoint the expectations of the prince and the marquis. I think that when our second senior comes to the navy, it will be the time for our navy to take the initiative. In the past few years, we still need to be patient and work hard to build the navy well! ”
The 70,000 army led by Rong Yan found the Donghu cavalry scouts a hundred miles away from Wangping City and behind the Donghu army. He ordered the army to march slowly, and on June 6, more than 30 miles away from the camp of the Donghu army, set up camp.
He also sent people to inform Bo Wang of Wangping County that they were ordered to go out of the city in the early morning of June 8 to cooperate with the reinforcement army, flank the Donghu army, and fight a decisive battle with it. The letter even informed the process and results of the Battle of Anseong.
Bo Wang's hands trembled as he looked at the contents of the letter. Wangping County Ling Zu Kang jumped up even more, and said in a trembling voice: "General, we can quickly inform all the troops and people in the city of the contents of this letter." ”
Bo Wang nodded and said, "It should be so." ”
Then he said to the herald next to him: "Order the army to make all preparations for battle, and go out of the city the day after tomorrow to fight a decisive battle with the enemy." ”
"No".
It didn't take long for the entire Wangping City to resound with a tsunami-like cheer.
In the tenth year of King Wucheng, on the seventh day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the Donghu army was in the tent.
The Donghu army that attacked Wangping City has all withdrawn to the camp. Donghu Shan replied to Kubhai, looking at the decisive battle book sent by Rong Yan, the commander of the Liao army, his face was pale, and he was speechless for a long time.
The ministers and generals of Donghu in the tent were silent, and no one spoke. There is no need to guess, it must be that the Goguryeo army has been defeated, calculate how long it has been! It is said that Goguryeo dispatched a large army of 120,000 to attack Liao this time, even 120,000 sheep, and it is impossible to defeat it so quickly!
Chi Lie didn't expect the worst to happen, looking at the expressions of the ministers and generals of Donghu in the tent, he sighed, stood up, and replied to Kubbi: "Shan Yu, now the Liao army wants to fight me with the power of a great victory, and I can't fight with this front!"
You can send someone to his boss and make peace with him. He also promised that the two places would be friendly for generations to come, trade with each other, and not invade each other. ”
Du Yuhu also stood up, bowed down and said: "Shan Yu, this battle is as Lord Chilie said, words and parties are the best policy, and the minister seconded it." Please order in Mingjian. ”
Kublai replied looked at Chilie and Du Yuhu who stood up, and then looked at the silent Donghu ministers and generals, shook his head, and said slowly: "It's too late to make peace now. If I were the commander of the Liao army, I would not agree. ”
Seeing that Chi Lie and Du Yu Hu were about to say more, he waved his hand and stopped them.
Standing up, he shouted to the ministers and generals in the tent: "I have 100,000 wolf horses, and the number of troops is not less than that of the enemy. On the occasion of the decisive battle, I don't want to listen to any more words and words, the art of war: mourning soldiers will win. Now our Donghu army is going to fight a bloody battle to open our way home. ”
Then he turned around, looked at Chi Lie and Du Zhu, and said slowly: "Who dares to say anything about peace now, shake the hearts of the army, and will not be spared!" ”
Chi Lie and Du Yuhu both had flushed faces, and they didn't dare to say anything more.
He bowed down and said, "Obey the order." ”
Kublai looked at the two of them, nodded, and ordered: "Tomorrow, tens of thousands of Liao troops in Wangping City will go out of the city to fight with me." Du Yu Hu, I order you to lead your troops, hold the camp, and block the army. ”
They were all shocked, knowing that this was to cut off their army! But at this time, he didn't dare to say anything, and bowed down to receive the order: "No."
After Kublai replied to see Du Yu agree, he shouted to the ministers and generals of Donghu in the tent: "The rest of the people, early tomorrow morning, will follow this single to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Liao army."
Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow's decisive battle is a matter of life and death for my Donghu, and I hope you will work together to tide over the difficulties. Tell the soldiers that tomorrow we can go home. If not, then we'll bury the earth in this Liaodi! ”
"No".
And Gao Min, the commander of the Kei State who attacked Fanhan, had already received the results of the Battle of Anseong at this moment, and his face was as pale as dirt, and he scolded Zhu Zhe of Goguryeo Xiangguo for being a waste. Immediately ordered the Mi army attacking Fanhan City to stop attacking.
Gao Min knew that things could not be violated, and the three-way battle to invade Liao had failed. He immediately ordered the army of the Kei country to slowly withdraw to the Ji country.
Wang Shi, who was guarding Fanhan County, saw this situation. Knowing that the kingdom of Kei has received the news of the defeat of the Goguryeo army. I could only look up to the sky and sigh: "It's a pity that the main force of my army went to Wangping first!" ”
However, when the enemy was outnumbered, Wang Shi followed the orders of the Marquis Mansion and the general Rong Xuan, and did not lead the Liao army to attack rashly. You can only follow the army of the Kei country and watch it withdraw to the country of Ji.
On the afternoon of the seventh day of the sixth month, the palace of the prince of Liaodi, the secretary's pavilion.
Ji Kang and Jun Xiangxixin, the two deans of Xiangping Academy, Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian, and the old manager Ji Mao, are discussing the decisive battle between the Rongyi army and the Donghu army tomorrow.
From the letter sent back by Rong Worm in advance, Ji Kang and Jun Xiangju Xin, who stayed in Xiangping City, and other people already knew Rong Worm's military plan. It is known that tomorrow Rong Yi will lead the main force of the Liao army, and together with the Bo Wang army stationed in Wangping, he will fight a decisive battle with the Donghu army tomorrow.
Ju Xin said a little cautiously: "Childe, in fact, after our army defeated the Goguryeo army in Anseong, we have already achieved the purpose of our army's war. As long as the army goes to Wangping, it can expel the Donghu army and withdraw from our Liaodi. Is General Rong Worm's move a bit risky? ”
After listening to the words of the drama Xin, Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian and Ji Mao also had heavy faces, and looked at Ji Kang who was sitting in the main seat.
Seeing everyone like this, Ji Kang slowly stood up. The calf stepped down the attic steps, walked to the door, looked at the sunset outside the door, and did not make a sound for a long time.
After a while, he slowly turned around, and said with a smile on his little face: "The general is outside, and the king's order is not affected." General Rong is on the front line and knows the situation on the front line. I believe in General Rong and even more in the courage and combat effectiveness of my Liaodi soldiers. ”
Then he turned around and looked at the sunset outside the door. Said slowly: "Now that our army has blocked the entire Donghu army in Wangping, this is also the best opportunity to complete the battle and eliminate the main force of the whole Donghu country." ”
After everyone listened to Ji Kang's words, a smile appeared on their faces and they nodded slowly. Like Ji Kang, they all stood up and looked at the sunset outside the door.
Outside the door, the sunset was like blood.
