Chapter 412: Head-to-Head Showdown (Subscription Requested!) )
…
The so-called Liaoxi Jing is actually the Shanxi Datong of later generations.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Liao, Shi Jingjiao cut Yunzhou and Liao, and was promoted to Jiedu Envoy State, which became an important military town of Liao.
In the thirteenth year of Chongxi, it was promoted to Xijing, and the name of the house was Datong.
Liaoxijing is just above Songguohe East Road.
The first important city on Hedong Road is Taiyuan City.
However, in order to hurry, Wu Jue, Yue Fei and others did not stop in Taiyuan City, but both crossed Taiyuan City directly, Wu Jue went to Xinzhou to Chenjiagu, preparing to capture Shuozhou, while Yue Fei went to Daizhou, preparing to cross Yanmen Pass into the Yanbei Plain, and then capture Yingzhou.
Wu Jue didn't mention it all the way for the time being, and only talked about Yue Fei's way first.
……
Outside the state, the same domain is strengthened, and the key to Taiyuan is solidified. The root is three passes, and the throat is all Jin. To choke with mountains and rivers, go to the side quite far, called the belly. Since Dongsheng abandoned and flattened, geese peeled off their skin, the river loop was lost and deviated, and the old earthquake neighbored...... Taiyuan was built as an important town, and the state was particularly important.
Daizhou and Taiyuan depend on each other, as the weight of the lock and key, relying on the Yanmen Pass, so that Taiyuan's defense is more stable.
There are nine stops in the world, headed by Yanmen.
Youyun: There are nine stops in the world, and one of them is checked.
Therefore, the earliest name of Yanmen Pass is also called "Gouzhu".
Yanmen Pass is named after the "Classic of Mountains and Seas": "Yanmen, flying geese out of its door." The elevation of the peaks of the Gouzhu Mountains is more than 1,900 meters, surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, only there are two relatively low mountains on both sides of the Yanfeng Peak, and the wild geese can only fly through here, and the Yanmen Pass in the north of Daizhou is located on this mountain valley.
Yanmen Pass is the gateway of the Central Plains to the northern ethnic minorities (known as the Hu people in ancient times), and all dynasties have sent heavy troops to guard it.
According to incomplete statistics, there were more than 1,000 battles here in Yanmen Pass.
A military history of Yanmen Pass can be called half of China's 5,000-year major national defense and military chapters; A commercial port road in Yanmenguan carries the history of peaceful development of the Central Plains and Saiwai.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "if you get the wild goose gate, you will get the world, and if you lose the wild goose gate, you will lose the Central Plains".
Therefore, Yanmen Pass is the last natural barrier to enter the Central Plains.
During the Song-Liao war, with the natural barrier of Yanmen Pass, it was difficult for the Liao army to enter the Central Plains on the Hedong side, avoiding the Song army's two-front battle, and the Song army could concentrate its energy on Hebei, so the significance of Yanmen to the Song State was very significant.
Out of Yanmen Pass, it is the flat Yanbei Plain.
For the nomadic cavalry, the Yanbei Plain is simply the most ideal combat paradise.
Since childhood, the Saiwai people have been good at riding and archery, and they also produce high-quality war horses, so they can go like the wind in this Yanbeiping.
At the peak of the Liao State, the number of cavalry was more than 300,000, and it could be said that it was invincible in this flat Yanbei Plain, so that the Song army did not dare to cross the Yanmen Pass to fight the Liao army.
In the one hundred and sixteen years since the signing of the Lanyuan Alliance, the army of Yue Fei and Shi Wengong can be said to be the first Han army to be deployed in the Yanbei Plain.
Yue Fei, Shi Wengong and others were all excited, wasn't this opportunity what the soldiers were waiting for!
However, to the surprise of Yue Fei, Shi Wengong and others, they walked out of Yanmen Pass and walked dozens of miles to the northeast without encountering the Liao army.
This situation was completely unexpected by Yue Fei, Shi Wengong and others, you must know that they had stepped on more than a dozen news points in the Liao State along the way, and it was impossible for the Liao State not to find them.
It wasn't until it was less than thirty miles away from Yingzhou that the sentry sent back the news that "there is an army of about 8,000 horses in front of us that is coming straight to kill us." ”
Yue Fei listened to it and said, "Order, Commander Niu, Commander Wang, and Leader Hu will come to discuss the battle quickly, and then invite General Shi to come over." ”
Not long after, Niu Gao, Wang Gui, E Quanzhong, and Shi Wengong gathered around Yue Fei.
Shi Wengong and Yue Fei are at the same level, and Yue Fei has been in more than one round for many years, and he is even more of a veteran, so he was the first to speak: "Pengju, how are you going to fight this battle?" ”
Yue Fei said: "I am ready to give way to the front of the army, and the horse army has no place to divide the horses." ”
Shi Wengong understood as soon as he heard it, and said, "Are you going to face off against the Liao army?" ”
The front formation is a strange soldier deployed in front of the Chinese army's large array, and the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" says, "When the enemy is in the main formation, the decisive victory is in the surprise army, and the front and back can correspond, then it is often victorious and undefeated." ”
The division of horses without land is a military term in this era, which refers to the mobile cavalry unit - the mobile force controlled by the large array of the Chinese army, arranged around the camp of the great general, ready to be driven by urgency, that is, commonly known as the reserve.
In other words, Yue Fei was preparing to face off with the infantry army and the Liao army, and then let the Ma army and the Liao army fight it out.
Yue Fei said: "This place is flat, and the enemies are all horse troops, so we can only face each other head-on, so we can have a chance to win." ”
Shi Wengong felt that Yue Fei was reasonable, and like Yue Fei, Shi Wengong was also eager to make meritorious contributions and get ahead, so without much hesitation, Shi Wengong said: "You are the manager, I listen to you." ”
Yue Fei didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered Niu Gao, Wang Gui, and E Quanzhong: "Take out the shield soldiers, heavy infantry, and firefighters of your three battalions and put them in front of the circle to resist the enemy, the archers and crossbowmen will be later, listen to my generals' orders, and the rest of the soldiers will each take five thunderbolts, and listen to my generals......' orders."
This time he went north, Li Yan went out, and equipped each battalion of infantry with a commanding heavy armor and a commanding horse chopping knife, and equipped each battalion with artillery, and each battalion of infantry with 100 fierce fire oil tanks (flamethrowers) newly developed by Liu Huiniang.
And Yue Fei is an eclectic famous general, never sticking to the form, only talking about victory and defeat, and the adaptability is particularly strong, so he quickly adapted to these weapons that he didn't have before, and figured out how to use them, this time he will use these new weapons to greet the Liao army!
After giving the order, Yue Fei glanced at Niu Gao, Wang Gui, and E Quanzhong, and finally stopped his gaze on Wang Gui and said, "Commander Wang, you come to serve as the front commander." "—The front part is the most dangerous, because it must bear the brunt of it, so Yue Fei did not hesitate to hand over this most difficult task to his fellow countrymen.
Wang Gui didn't say a word, just said: "The little general takes the order!" ”
Yue Fei said to Niu Gao again: "Commander Niu, you come to command the crossbowmen and artillery, remember, wait for my order before release." ”
Niu Gao said: "The little general commands!" ”
Yue Fei finally said to E Quanzhong: "Leader E, the rest of the soldiers are under your control, remember, when you hear my order, let your soldiers throw all the five thunderbolts out to me within three breaths!" ”
E Quanzhong said: "The little general is ordered!" ”
Yue Fei said again: "Soldiers, they should live for war and die for peace; Soldiers, should be proud of "the battlefield died in battle, the horse leather shroud"; Soldiers, you must be worthy of the eight sons of "use me in the first battle, use me to win...... The Liao army has 8,000 horse troops, our 10,000 infantry army, 3,000 horse army, and the strength is equal. ”
Seeing Yue Feijing's words, Shi Wengong not only shook his head secretly, "After all, you are still young." After Yue Fei finished speaking, Shi Wen Gong said: "Whether the Han people can recover Yunzhou, and whether future generations can live and work in peace and contentment, it all depends on us." In addition, on this unobstructed plain, it is impossible for the infantry army to outrun the horse army, so only if you are victorious, you can live, and if you are defeated, you will die and have no life, and these words will be relayed to the soldiers. ”
After Yue Fei and Shi Wengong finished their orders, Niu Gao, Wang Gui, and E Quanzhong went down to set up a formation, preparing to fight to the death with the Liao army......
