Chapter 505: The Best Defense Is Offense
The Khitan people hated the Jurchens, and Yelu Dashi hated them even more, because all his humiliation was given by the Jurchens.
He was a prisoner of the Jurchens and served under Wanyan Zonghan. He pleases the enemy and endures humiliation and steals his life, just so that one day he can escape from the clutches of the devil and become a Khitan hero again.
He did it!
After escaping, he went all the way west to contact the old department, vowing to return this humiliation to the enemy tenfold and hundredfold, and now the opportunity has come.
It was Wanyan Zonghan who was playing against him.
Dashi is not a good man and a woman, he left the safety of the Western Liao Empire and didn't care about it, just to take revenge and restore the country, how can he be soft!
The Jurchen soldiers must be killed!
After occupying Yuexi City, after a short rest, the news of the scouts was also sent, and Song Jiang arrived as promised, and he was like a bamboo in the middle of the road. The Khitans in Liaodong made a fuss under the leadership of Yelu Bufan, and it is said that they also took Liaoyang Mansion. In this way, the Jin people could not increase their troops, and the enemy in front of him was only Wanyan Zonghan, so he boldly led the crowd to advance.
The two vanguard teams met and fought a field battle, with 10,000 cavalry on both sides, half killed and wounded after a frenzied killing, and each retreated.
The advance battle was a draw, indicating that the combat effectiveness of the two sides was equal, these Khitans were no longer the Khitans when the country was destroyed, they had transformed into wolves on the grassland, and whoever underestimated them would definitely become a pile of white bones.
Wanyan Zonghan was timid!
He couldn't count the first time that he was cowardly, but he knew that the previous cowardice came from the autonomous region, and this was the first time for the cowardice of the Khitans.
Throw all the main forces into a decisive battle with it, and take down the beautiful idea of Yelu Dashi in one fell swoop, which collapsed in an instant.
Fighting like this, he is less than 30% sure of victory.
Wanyan Zonghan can't afford to gamble, if he loses, the West Road can no longer resist the pace of Yelu Dashi, he will fight all the way to Huining Mansion, and even unite with the other two groups of men and horses to destroy the Jin Kingdom.
But Yelu Dashi is not afraid, he has come thousands of miles away to take revenge, and the enemy is in front of him, how can he be discouraged!
Afraid of losing, he won't come!
If he loses this time, it means that he is destined to survive in the bitter cold land of the west, and he will no longer have the illusion of revenge in this life.
But he has no regrets, at least he has worked hard for his dream!
Yelu Dashi's next target was Danning City, but before reaching Danning City, he had to smash the jars and jars that Wanyan Zonghan had arranged along the way.
Wanyan Zonghan strictly ordered the tigers from all walks of life not to go out of the hole, layer upon layer of defense, strictly defended and not attacked, and it has been a month since all the Yelu stones were overturned.
One month is enough to finish Yan Zonghan to do the best defense of Denning City.
On the way to Denning City with his troops, Yelu Dashi found that the Jin people had left them with nothing but ashes, and all that was left was a clean land.
Fortified Clear.
ruthlessly burned down his own people's homes, among the Jin people, Wanyan Zonghan was the first person.
This is the most hated trick of Wanyan Zonghan in the Han land before, the Han people tried it repeatedly, and he couldn't replenish the food and grass, so he starved and scolded the Han people for being despicable and timid, and scolded and scolded and suddenly found that his stomach was bloated.
Today, however, he used it.
Blush!
The god of war of the Jin Kingdom also has a timid day!
There is no need to waste words to say that he is despicable, because Wanyan Zonghan's meanness comes from the mother's womb and belongs to the womb.
The Western Liao soldiers brought their own rations, and they had dried meat, as well as mares with the army, and they could milk and drink during lactation, so they could also support them.
After Yan Zonghan personally guarded Danning City, he did his best to protect the head of the city, prepared a lot of equipment to defend the city, and waited for Yelu Dashi to attack.
He has used Danning City as a meat grinder, waiting to grind all the Khitan soldiers into minced meat. The 60,000 defenders in the city can easily shake the meat grinder into a cheerful way.
The Western Liao Army, there is no return!
Yelu Dashi was late, and the forward army set up camp more than ten miles away from Danning City, waiting for the army, and the momentum of taking Danning in one fell swoop was obvious.
In the past, whoever dared to assemble a team under his nose was looking for a draw, and after Yan Zonghan didn't say a word, he led his troops to pounce and kill a falling flower.
This is the result of blaspheming the Jurchen warriors and provoking Daikin!
But today he was in a calm mood and sat firmly drinking tea.
Pediatrics' method of luring enemies, it's strange to be fooled!
The Western Liao army was fully assembled, camped on the spot, buried pots and cooked food, and the soldiers frolicked, seemingly defenseless.
The more such news, the more Wanyan Zonghan thought that it was a lure to the enemy, and later did not listen to the news about the laxity of the enemy's army.
I can't listen to this kind of news, and I feel itchy when I hear it too much, and I always want to lead my troops to the enemy camp to do something.
Near night, more than ten cavalrymen of Western Liao rode to the city of Danning and shot an arrow with a letter tied to it.
In the letter, Jerodashi poured out his thoughts about him and invited him to come to the big tent tonight to catch up. If he is cowardly and does not come, tomorrow he will personally enter the city of Denning and invite him to drink with him, so as to relieve the pain of longing.
Miss!?
I believe you're a ghost!
Wanyan Zonghan sneered. 186 Chinese Network
Yelu Dashi also underestimated him too much, and wanted to provoke him to attack at night in just a few words, naïve! One day I want to take down the denim, dreaming!
Tomorrow you can come boldly! If I don't smash you into meatloaf, my surname will be Jeru!
Wanyan Zonghan was still very careful, he was afraid of the enemy's night attack, so he sent more people at the head of the city to increase the number of sentinels on the watchtower.
The next day, Yan Zonghan got up early to inspect the military situation, and the scouts came to report that the enemy's tent was still there, but there was no one to be seen.
Hum!
Joker's trick, do you think I'll rob the camp if I ambush me, and the conspiracy won't succeed!
Then he felt that something was wrong, how could there be a place where more than 100,000 people were ambushed without being discovered?
If you can't figure it out, just explore!
Wanyan Zonghan immediately sent a large number of scouts to draw a circle with a radius of thirty miles around Danning City and carefully explored.
The result was even more bizarre, and there was not a single Khitan soldier in sight.
It can only bring out the true intentions of the enemy.
A team of 1,000 people trembled and attacked the camp, and everyone was ready to turn around and run when they found the enemy in ambush, but they set the camp on fire, and not even a single ghost hair came out.
Empty camp!
Where are they targeting?
After Yan Zonghan was busy looking at the map, he stared at a place silently and did not move.
Yanghui City.
Wanyan Zonghan once thought that Yanghui City, which was a hundred miles away from Danning City, would become the knife behind Yelu Dashi when he besieged Danning City.
Immediately inquire about the news of Yanghui City.
The scout went out quickly and came back faster, and he returned with a lot of defeated soldiers, and at the same time brought him bad news: the enemy attacked at night, and Yang Hui was lost.
Wanyan Zonghan understood that Yelu Dashi's mind was not on Danning at all, and the siege of the city was his wishful thinking. The best defenses he had painstakingly set up in Denning City became a sturdy ornament, and his ideas became a joke.
Yelu Dashi shook a shot and took Yang Hui just to replenish it.
In an instant, Yan Zonghan became much smarter.
He figured it out, what foreign enemies want in an invasion is a quick victory, and Yelu Dashi has his goal if he doesn't entangle with him.
Where is his next goal?
So a lot of scouts rushed around.
When the news came, the Western Liao army left part of the army to occupy Yanghui, and the rest of the people went north after replenishing grain and grass.
Oh no!
All the way north, you will come to Huining Province, which is an empty city.
Lose face!
He is the commander who exterminated the Western Liao soldiers, and now the enemy has left the army to suppress the enemy, and marched northward with great force, and the marshal is still a dumb goose in Danning City.
This also hurts my self-esteem so much!
Wanyan Zonghan regretted dying, he knew that this was the case, and he should have taken the initiative to attack in the first place. The Jurchens were originally an offensive people, and they would not defend exclusively at any time.
The best defense is offense!
Only taking the initiative is the last word!
Now he has to take the initiative, and he can only take the initiative.
The country needs him to take the initiative to defend it, and he also needs to take the initiative to find the lost courage.
Now almost all the troops in the country have been taken away by themselves, vultures, and silver, and many cities are as empty and vulnerable as they are. If you let Yelu Dashi wander around the territory, you can't imagine what will happen, and you must stop him.
Dispatch troops!
He quickly gathered 60,000 paces and rode after Yelu Dashi.
When he chased to Yanghui City, he wondered, and wanted to go around, but the more he thought about it, the more awkward it became. If he chased after Yelu Dashi and turned his head to confront him, his back would be left to the Khitans of Yanghui City. Moreover, now that the forces of Danning City are weak, if Yanghui's Khitans kill back the horse gun, Danning City will be lost.
Therefore, Yang Huicheng is the fish bone in his throat, which must be pulled out, otherwise he will choke and panic!
The scouts continued to report the enemy's whereabouts, and the news was still that they were all the way north, and there was no enemy in sight for fifty miles around.
Let's fight!
Wanyan Zonghan didn't know how the Khitans easily took Yanghui City, but under the protection of the Khitans, Yanghui became a strong city.
For a day, he attacked without stopping, and there was no sign of breaking the city.
This reminded him of Taiyuan City, the Taiyuan City that made him forever branded with fear, but the defense of Yanghui City was less than 10% of Taiyuan City, how could I fight harder than Taiyuan!
