Volume 4 Border North Leading the Troops Chapter 26 Temptation of the Enemy into the Great Liao State Defeat Taiyuan by Joke
It is said that Cai Yuanlang, who led more than 200 of his brothers, did not start a decisive battle with the Liao, and fled all the way from Xiaogushan to the south
And the Liao army, this time I didn't intend to rob the people, but just wanted to find the main force of the Song army to fight to the death, and when I saw the Cai Yuanlang army in front, I pursued all the way, and kept scolding angrily
There are generals around him who can understand the words of Liao, Cai Yuanlang asked, the chasing soldiers behind him, the Liao soldiers and Liao generals, what do they mean by what they are talking about
The generals around him explained while running, it turned out that the general of the Liao army this time was called Yelu Bu'a, and he came to avenge his subordinate Ali Buhua
Cai Yuanlang sighed when he heard his hand touching his beard, and went all the way to Ji'an County
Just when he led the soldiers to flee and was about to retreat to Ji'an County, he suddenly saw that he was Dingyuan, and the school captain's office belonging to Wutong County sent troops from Ji'an County to rescue
As soon as he saw that he was coming, Cai Yuanlang stabilized the soldiers, and stood at the gate of Ji'an County, set up a military formation, strictly guarded the formation, and waited for a decisive battle with the Liao army
Anyway, at this time, the two armies of Dingyuan and Wutong arrived
The officers leading the two units, Yuan Yichong, captain of the Dingyuan Defense School, and Ding Laiqiu, captain of the Wutong Defense School, are both local military attachés
Hearing that there was another enemy attack in Ji'an County, he didn't have time to say goodbye to his family during the Chinese New Year, so he led his own soldiers to Ji'an County
Seeing that he was about to leave Ji'an County, he found Cai Yuanlang's army and hurriedly came over to respond
Several people have long met in the general affairs office of the pacification envoy, greeted each other, and so on to meet in one place, carefully look at the Liao army coming, the two of them were also surprised, and then both of them said, this time, the enemy is really a lot, not like they came to harass the people to grab supplies, look at this posture, the Liao army probably has more than 1,000 people
Cai Yuanlang said, probably, I thought at first that they were just a small group of horse bandits, going to meet the enemy, and when I met, I learned that the Liao people were a bandit regiment organized by five reinforced battalions this time, and this guy asked them to chase me
Yuan Yi rushed to the road, there are so many enemies, we only have three soldiers and horses, can we beat them?
Cai Yuenlong said, what can you do if you can't beat it? You and I are the ones who eat this bowl of rice, and if we don't meet the enemy, we will retreat back to the county seat
It just so happened that at this time, Ji'an County ordered Wang Yuanan to also go out of the county seat, saying that the Liao army was wantonly attacking, and some people also reported to Ji'an County Order, and the county lord Wang Yuanan also hurriedly summoned the officials, hurriedly reported to the prefect, reported to the Taiyuan pacification envoy, and led the troops out of the county to meet the enemy
However, seeing that the enemy is strong, we said to the captain of the third road, the Liao soldiers are strong this time, and we should go back to the county seat for the time being to avoid it for a while
When Cai Yuanlang, Yuan Yichong, and Ding Laiqiu heard this, they hurriedly said, who said no, hurriedly withdrew their troops into the city
Speaking of the Liao army at this time
The leading general of the Liao army is Yelu Bu'a, the overseer of Datong Mansion of Liao, who is the enemy of the last invasion of the Northern Song Dynasty and the elder brother of Ali Buhua
Because a colleague came to report, saying that his younger brother Ali did not spend money because the tribe lacked cotton, he led troops to the Song realm to rob, fought with the Song soldiers, and was killed
Yelu Bua cried for two days, and immediately ordered that if he wanted to organize manpower, he would come to take revenge
Originally, seeing that the New Year was going to be celebrated, his subordinates were persuaded not to send troops to make risks at this time, it was all about the New Year, and they should be sympathetic to their subordinates and soldiers, so that it would not be too late for everyone to come to take revenge after the New Year
Yelu Bua was anxious to avenge his younger brother, where to care about those, tied the person who said this to the door of the house is a leather whip, since then, no one objected, a week, gathered more than 1,000 people in Datong, and led people to Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi Province
If you want to fight Taiyuan, Shanxi, you have to pass through Ji'an County, so there is a story about meeting Cai Yuanlang and chasing Song Jun's ass to Ji'an County
Yelu Bua just wanted to avenge his brother, and when he saw the Song army, he wanted to fight a decisive battle, and saw several Song troops retreating to Ji'an County, leading the soldiers to shout and curse under the city
The county magistrate and the captain of the three-way defense stood on the city, watching the Liao soldiers make nonsense under the city, but they didn't dare to go out of the city to face the battle
In less than half a day, Han Zhen of Taiyuan Prefecture in Shanxi Province sent troops to rescue, Shanxi Province pacified Shi Dacong with troops to rescue, and captains from all over the country brought troops to rescue
In just one day, more than 3,000 troops were gathered in the Northern Song Dynasty in Ji'an County, Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province
Yelu Bu'a of Liao didn't know the truth, and still scolded under the city, seeing that Ji'an County just didn't send people to fight, and originally wanted to order the siege of the city
But the meaning of his subordinates and military advisors, seeing that it is going to be the New Year, as long as they scare and scare the Song army, they can go to the surrounding villages to make big tickets
In ancient times, the siege of the city was either to climb the city wall with a ladder, or to hit the city gate with a wooden cart, and once the siege loss would be extremely large
Think about it carefully, it is a small matter to avenge your younger brother, the more than 1,000 people you brought are all Datong Mansion, and the elite soldiers you bring are reluctant to give up if you really order the siege of the city
Ordered to bypass the county seat of Ji'an and start looting in the surrounding villages
A group of Liao people received the order and began to scatter to the villages near the county seat to loot
How do they know that at this time, several groups of Song generals have gathered in Ji'an County, and how do they know that more than 3,000 soldiers have gathered in Ji'an County at this time. It's just habitual to think that the Northern Song Dynasty soldiers are vulnerable, and under the threat of so many of their own people, they no longer dare to go out of the city
Seeing that the Liao army under the city was scattered and had no intention of attacking the city, the pacification of Taiyuan Mansion made Shi Dacong very happy
Busy with his lieutenants, two groups of lieutenants and a team, more than 500 people, went to intercept the Liao troops scattered to the countryside
The teams are commanded
opened the east, west and south gates of the county, and quietly went to intercept the Liao army from all walks of life
It is said that the Liao people had more than 200 people in each team, divided into five horse bandits, and went to various villages under the county to plunder
Wherever he went, he killed people and robbed things when he saw them, which was to avenge the governor of Jerubua, and which was to do it for the sake of revenge
However, they were still overjoyed, and before their plan to plunder the villages was completed, they were surrounded by soldiers and horses from all walks of life in the villages
The Liao army saw that the general situation was not good, and they got on the horse to meet the enemy, who knew that this time the Song army was prepared, whether it was energy, materials, and numbers, they were far above the Liao army
As soon as the fire was connected, it was just a face, and countless Liao soldiers were killed
And because of the pacification led by Shi Dacong, the 500 people of the pro-army continued to kill the Liao army in various villages, and the Liao army was too late to respond to each other, and only a few Liao army iron cavalry fought out of the encirclement, ran back to the border of Liao, and ran back to Datongfu of Liao to report the news
In this battle, 534 Liao troops were killed, countless wounded, 23 Liao officers, 3 centurions, and Yelu Bua, the governor of the same province, died in the chaos
The matter was reported to the imperial court, and the government and the opposition were greatly shaken for a while
Emperor Zhao Guangyi Long Yan Dayue personally wrote a plaque, on the book - the iron pass of me, a copy, to the pacification envoy of Shanxi Province
It was appeased by Shanxi Province and was hung by Shi Dacong in the general affairs office of the pacification envoy
Three imperial decrees were also drafted, and the order was issued to reward the captains of each school in this battle, and each of them was awarded a collective first-class meritorious service; commend Cai Yuanlong, who led the troops to lead the enemy into depth, and the thousand general managers of Shanxi Province; Commended Cai Yuanlong's subordinates Wang Congqi, Li Tianjiao, and Jiang Wenxiao as military captains in Ji'an County, Dingyuan County, and Wutong County
The former Ji'an County, Dingyuan County lieutenant has another appointment
