Chapter 188: Surprise Attack on the East Road
Qin Han then was full of pride, and recited loudly: "Don't wait, the young man's head is white, and he is empty and sad!" Thirty merits, fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons, laughing and thirsty for the blood of the golden slave! Great Khan, are you ready? ”
Ku Tu Ra considered that now there are two Kutu brothers facing each other in the west of the Naiman Division, as long as Zhang Jun's army of the imperial court arrives, it should be no problem to destroy the Naiban Department in minutes. Now the only thing that can threaten themselves is the Jin Kingdom in the southeast, and the few tribes that are rampant for the Jin Country are just a few little praying mantises, how can they resist their own 60,000 iron horses!
It's just that I still have some conditions, so I haven't talked to Song Ting.
Hu Tu thought about it again, why not wait until the great achievement is in hand, the great cause will be completed, with enough foundation, and then put forward the conditions, the effect will definitely be twice the result with half the effort! If the court doesn't agree, then what you eat in your mouth won't spit it out.
Kutu laughed and said, "Haha, Ben Khan has been waiting for this moment for a long time!" ”
The discussion was decided, and Kutura then used the main force of the Mongolian army of 60,000 iron cavalry to meet the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Jin State Agu Xuan.
In order to deal with the enemy as quickly as possible, each warrior is equipped with two war horses to take turns mounting; In order to destroy the enemy mentally, he made it possible for his soldiers to feed on the enemy's horses and even prisoners of war.
The Jin general Agu Sui followed Kutura all the way west, and later set up camp on the spot, and the two armies faced each other, but did not fight.
Agu Sui has received the news of Wanyan Zongxian, Wanyan Zongxian has led a large army to help, and it will be there soon, so that Agu Sui can temporarily drag the enemy, and when the time comes, the army will be united to annihilate the Mongolian department in one fell swoop, and eliminate the future troubles forever.
On this day, the altar suddenly set up camp and retreated, and Agu did not suspect that there was a deceit, and immediately waved his troops to follow.
Unexpectedly, after marching for about five miles, tens of thousands of Mongolian elite horsemen suddenly came out from the left and right sides, and the altar returned to the army and killed them fiercely. The Mongolian soldiers, who had been suppressed for a long time, were vented at this moment, and the bright and narrow saber wantonly sucked the blood of the golden soldiers.
Kutura's 60,000 elites and nearly 20,000 elite soldiers in the altar were combined, and Agusu's 20,000 soldiers and horses were naturally not the opponents of Kutura's 80,000 elite cavalry, and they were defeated in an instant.
The two armies fought for half a day, and the Jin soldiers were defeated.
Agu fled in a hurry with less than a thousand soldiers, where did he have time to care about the life and death of his compatriots.
The forgotten Jin soldiers saw that the main general had absconded, and where was the morale to fight, so they had to surrender on their knees, disarming and not killing.
In the face of nearly 10,000 captives, the altar asked Kutura: "Khan, should these captives be disposed of as before?" ”
Kutu gritted his teeth fiercely and said: "These golden people are the culprits who forced Father Khan to death!" Keep them and waste food. I order that all seriously wounded enemy soldiers be killed on the spot! Those who can walk, those who are able-bodied, will drive away with the captured war horses. They're all delicious food, hahaha! ”
Looking at Kutu's hideous face, he didn't dare to persuade him again, this brother seemed to be a little strange. Human flesh, is it delicious? I heard that it was sour.
Kutura vented all the grief caused by his father's death on Jin Bing, and all the prisoners of war, those who could not walk and those who walked slowly, were executed together. Those who could walk, together with the captured war horses, became military rations for walking.
In Hejian Mansion, Qu Wenwen sat at the head, and Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Yue Fei and other senior generals stood on both sides to discuss the battle plan.
Qu Ping said: "According to the calculation of the footsteps, Yang Zaixing's department should arrive at the destination in three days. Ten days later, it is the seventh and a half days, according to the customs of the Central Plains, the ancestors will be worshipped, and the night must be very lively. We're going on the offensive that night! ”
Han Shizhong said: "Marshal, the specific target of the attack has not yet been determined. ”
"Yanmen Pass, Juyong Pass, Gubeikou, Xifengkou, Panjiakou, since ancient times, have been the fortresses of the Great Wall, and none of them can be easily taken. This is also the reason why we have not been able to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun for many years, but we have to find ways to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. Liu Guangshi said.
Everyone once again greeted the brute and his ancestral family who gave Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to the thief father back then.
Yue Fei said: "Since the marshal summoned us to have a round in Hejian Mansion, he must have already focused on it. ”
Those who know me, Mo Ruoyue Fei.
Qu Ping said: "Yes, Ben Shuai considers that he can break through from Juyong Pass and Xifeng Pass." There are Yang Zaixing and the Western Xia army in the west to attract Yan Zongbi, and I won't consider Yanmen Pass. Juyongguan is close to Yan Zongbi's Yanqing Mansion, and I am ready to be the main target. Our army is besieging Yanqing Mansion with all its might, and Wan Yan Sheng will definitely come to the rescue, so that the pressure on Kutu in the north will be much less. ”
Han Shizhong nodded, and expressed his worries: "If Hu Tu Ra gains power because of this, will he be arrogant?" After all......"
Qu Ping said: "I understand what General Han meant. In extraordinary times, there is no doubt about employing people. ”
"The marshal is right." Han Shizhong said, "Judging from the confrontation between Ben Jiang and Wanyan Zongbi for many years, this person should not be underestimated. The general was worried that General Yang's 50,000 horses might not be able to finish Yan Zongbi. Moreover, the Western Xia has not yet replied whether to send troops, even if the Western Xia army is added, it may not be able to be captured, and the cost is estimated to be heavy. ”
"What does General Han suggest?" Qu Ping asked.
"The general proposed to use the rest of the soldiers and horses on Hedong Road and Hebei West Road to attack north in two ways, which can greatly reduce the pressure on Yang Zaixing's army on the West Road." Han Shizhong said.
Yue Fei said: "General Han is reasonable, the general Hebei West Road can still gather 30,000 soldiers and horses, General Han's Hedong Road has a lot of people, presumably there are more people and horses, even if it is not the main force of the elite, it is enough for Yan Zongbi to eat a pot." ”
Qu Ping said: "This is the best, Han Xin ordered troops, the more the merrier." It's just that there are a large number of soldiers and horses on these two roads, and non-ordinary generals can command them. ”
Yue Fei said: "If the marshal and General Han can be trusted, Yue is willing to take on this important responsibility!" ”
Qu Ping thought about it, if Yue Fei could fight the Golden Vulture Technique, wouldn't this be Guan Yunchang's warm wine and beheading Yan Liang, maybe he could really restrain the Golden Vulture Technique.
Qu Ping asked Han Shizhong if he had a better proposal, and Han Shizhong said that only General Yue Fei could take on this great responsibility, and with General Yue, the level of military strength would go up to a higher level.
Qu Ping said: "Okay, then please General Yue!" Only enter, not retreat! "Fire Book
"Ben will command!" Yue Fei commanded.
"General Yue can go to arrange the battle on the same day to ensure that it will bloom at 15 o'clock in July! will be outside, the matter is under the authority. Hebei West Road and Hedong Road two military horses are dispatched by you, and you will take Yanmen Pass directly, as long as you succeed, you are not allowed to fail! Moreover, you must live, for the sake of the handsome, for the emperor! Qu Ping ordered.
"Yes! Ben will definitely kill the Golden Vulture! Yue Fei swore and said.
Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi bowed their hands to Yue Fei and said, "General Yue, let's kill the Jin Kingdom in Zhongjing and Shangjing, and then celebrate with wine!" ”
Yue Fei arched his hand, and then said to his subordinate Zhang Xian: "Zhang Xian listens to the order, my department is many, only the marshal and generals are from!" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Xiandao.
After Yue Fei finished speaking, he took a few generals, went out and got on the horse, and went straight to Hebei West Road.
Qu Ping stared at the map, clicked at Xifengkou, pointed to Juyong Pass, knocked on the Shandong Peninsula again, pondered for a while, and said, "General Liu, when will the giant ship I want arrive in Dengzhou?" ”
Liu Guangshi replied: "It is estimated that there will be ten days. ”
"How many? Who leads the team? ”
"Fifteen ships, Lord Shao Chengzhang personally leads the team!"
"Oh! Shao Chengzhang returned home? ”
"As soon as Lord Shao's ship docked, he heard about this mission, so he didn't care about resting, and personally led the fleet north without stopping."
Shao Chengzhang is really a person who can achieve things, and he is worthy of Qu Ping's casual recommendation to him back then. With Shao Chengzhang personally leading fifteen giant ships, one ship is squeezed into three thousand people, and fifteen ships are enough to bring forty thousand horses! Liu Guangshi had already sent 50,000 horses and horses to wait in Dengzhou, and as soon as Shao Chengzhang's giant ship docked, it could set sail.
The ingredients are all ready, and an excellent chef is needed.
Qu Ping said: "What you want for this miracle soldier is to win by surprise." It's just that this candidate for the main general, Ben Shuai didn't think of it for a while. ”
Liu Guangshi learned from Yue Fei and volunteered: "I would like to go!" ”
Qu Ping decisively refused: "General Liu and General Han are of great use in staying in my 150,000 main force, and none of you can be missing." ”
"There was going to be a recommendation." Han Shizhong thought of a person's name in his heart and said, "This person General Liu should be the most familiar with, he is from Qinzhou, and his father is Liu Zhongwu, the envoy of the Luchuan Army. Moreover, he is in Riverhouse right now! ”
Liu Guangshi suddenly realized: "Are you talking about the control of the Hejian Mansion - Liu Qi?" ”
"Exactly!" Han Shizhong said.
"Liu Qi, who is the master, why haven't I heard of it?" Qu Ping wondered in his heart, "Can this person be this great responsibility?" Each of my plans is carefully designed and interlocked, and there is no room for mistakes in any detail. There is no room for error in war! ”
In the future, it is necessary to ask the imperial court to compile a list of civil and military generals in the court, and record in detail the civil and military officials from large to small, as well as their abilities and specialties and main achievements, so that the superiors can clearly match the people they want.
Qu Ping asked, "Liu Qi?" Can you elaborate on that? ”
Liu Guangshi replied: "This person is about the same age as me, known as a Confucian general, and he accompanied his father, General Liu Zhongwu, to conquer Western Xia when he was a teenager, and he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats. Later, the Jin soldiers went south, and Liu Qi alone led 3,000 soldiers to defend Shiying Town, against tens of thousands of Jin soldiers, and held on for more than 20 days, which greatly delayed the process of the Jin soldiers going south. ”
"How come I haven't heard of such a glorious history?" Qu Ping asked curiously. is the same age as Liu Guangshi, at least he will not be reckless.
Liu Guangshi said: "It's not because of the suppression of Wang Boyan, a villain, if it weren't for Liu Qi who met my family later, I don't know what to do now!" ”
Wang Boyan, this dead ghost is very harmful! Fortunately, it was cleaned up early.
Qu Ping hurriedly said: "Hurry up and call Liu Qi to see you!" ”
Liu Qi was familiar with the art of war in the military camp when he was young, he was calm and thoughtful, resolute in handling things, and had the experience of preventing more with less, so he led his team to cross the sea and attack, even if he could not win a big victory, at least he would not be defeated.
After a while, Liu Qi arrived.
Liu Qi calmly met the three high-level officials and said, "I have seen Lord Marshal, General Liu and General Han." ”
Liu Qi saw Qu Ping, and secretly praised in his heart: "Yongguo Gong became famous at a young age, and he was a very popular minister at a young age, and he was by no means an idle person. When I saw it today, judging from the other party's appearance and demeanor, it made people admire, and I felt that I wanted to make friends. ”
Qu Ping saw that Liu Qi was wearing a battle armor and never leaving his body, his body was strong, and his appearance was not good, but there was a trace of sharpness and perseverance in his eyes.
Qu Ping was full of joy and said, "You are Liu Qi?" Ben Shuai has heard the two generals talk about your glorious deeds, since General Liu and General Han are optimistic about you, Ben Shuai now has an important task here, I don't know if you dare to take on this heavy responsibility? ”
Liu Qi didn't know anything yet, and he was not in a hurry to submit his name, and said: "Dare to ask what the heavy responsibility is, and the subordinates can also weigh their own catties, can they take on this big responsibility?" ”
Qu Ping was very satisfied with Liu Qi's reply, this person is steady, not aggressive and not greedy for merit, and worthy of trust.
"Do you know why we're here?" Qu Ping asked.
