Chapter 0657: Fiasco
"What does the Baoxin Army eat? What does the Guangxin Army eat? What does Ansu Jun eat? ”
Zhao Guangyi asked three times in a row.
The Manchu civil and military who asked was speechless.
"Waste, a bunch of waste. What do I want this bunch of waste for? ”
Zhao Guangyi scolded loudly, and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, order Shi Shouxin and Li Jilong to lead the troops and horses, and quickly wipe out this Liao army that has invaded the territory of our Great Song Dynasty." ”
Cao Bin's face changed, and he shouted, "Your Majesty, no." As a result, the high Gongbu who was fighting at Tongtai Pass became a lone army. ”
Zhao Guangyi's face turned cold, "You are still a privy envoy, can't you even see this, this army of soldiers and horses that invaded my Great Song Dynasty is the main force of the Liao army." The Liao army in Tongtai Pass must be a group of miscellaneous troops.
Gao Zuo Gong is really a waste, leading the most elite Japanese army, but he can't even deal with a group of miscellaneous troops. ”
Cao Bin said: "Your Majesty, the strength of the Liao army in Tongtai Pass is not yet known, and it cannot be concluded that it is a miscellaneous army. Once Li Jilong and Shi Shouxin led their troops to help. The Japanese army in the high place is dangerous. ”
Zhao Guangyi said coldly: "Are you questioning me? ”
Cao Bin lowered his head, bowed down and said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”
Zhao Guangyi squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Then don't you do what I say?" ”
Cao Bin gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "Minister...... Compliance. ”
……
Zhao Guangyi's holy decree has not yet been delivered to Shi Shouxin and Li Jilong.
Yang Qi's letter had already been delivered to the two of them.
Li Jilong didn't say a word, and led the 30,000 forbidden troops under his command to Suicheng.
Shi Shouxin did not return to Suicheng.
The letter sent by Yang Qi made him see the situation clearly.
The strategy used by Jeruxiugo this time was like a two-headed snake.
A surprise army attacked, and the other lured the enemy deep.
No matter which head is hit together, it will cause the other head to fight back.
So if you want to defeat Jeruxiugo, you have to deal with two heads at the same time.
Li Jilong returned to help, and was responsible for dealing with the strange army of Yelu Dashi, plus the many van armies in the border city, even if they could not destroy the strange army of Yelu Dashi with one blow, they could force them out of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
Shi Shouxin was responsible for dealing with the high place of Tongtai Pass, and dealt with Yelu Huge who was cowering in Tongtai Pass.
Although Shi Shouxin couldn't retreat, and he couldn't rush to the aid of Tongtai Pass, he was able to support Gao Chugong from the side.
The moment he got Yang Qi's letter, Shi Shouxin did not hesitate to surprise Lingqiu.
With 50,000 forbidden troops, deal with 10,000 Liao cavalry and 100,000 Liao people.
With the ability to keep the stone's promises, it is naturally easy to catch.
It only took three days for Shi Shouxin to break the Lingqiu and capture Xiao Gan alive.
At the same time.
Hu Yanzan in front of Tongtai Pass also received a letter from Yang Qi.
After he carefully read Yang Qi's letter, he hurriedly found Gao Zhigong, who was thinking about the strategy of breaking the Tongtai Pass in the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Brother Gao Xian, it's not good!"
As soon as Hu Yanzan entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he exclaimed.
Gao Ji Gong, who was sketching on the marching map, raised his head, and Li Xin, who was conveying the emperor's will to Gao Ji Gong, frowned.
Gao Di Gong saw that Hu Yanzan was very out of shape, so he asked out loud, "What's wrong?" ”
Hu Yanzan subconsciously glanced at Li Xin.
Li Xin's brows furrowed even tighter, and he sneered: "Could it be that General Huyan still has something unknown that his official knows?" ”
"Huh!"
Hu Yanzan hesitated for a moment and said, "Just now, Yang Yansi sent someone to deliver a message to me. It is said that Yelu Huge's soldiers are divided into two roads, all the way around Yingzhou City, through Heng Mountain, into the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, and has now broken the city.
And Yelu Hugo himself, leading the soldiers and horses, is in this Tongtai Pass. ”
"Brother Yelu Hugh is in Tongtai Pass?"
Gao Zuo Gong was obviously a little confused.
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "Hahaha...... We waited for many days to attack Tongtai Pass, but we didn't even see the shadow of Yelu Hugo. If Yelu Hugo is really in Tongtai Pass. So how can he let us put this copper platform in jeopardy. ”
Hu Yanzan unceremoniously replied: "Then how do you explain that we led the troops to attack Tongtai Pass for seven days, but we still haven't broken through Tongtai Pass?" It seems unreasonable to use the Liao army to fight bravely and resist desperately.
Every time, when the Liao army was in danger of being beaten by us, it suddenly exerted its strength and held Tongtai Pass.
Once or twice, maybe it can be because of the desperate resistance of the Liao army, but every time it is like this, it is worth intriguing. ”
Li Xin was speechless for a while.
Gao Zugong lowered his head, thoughtfully, and he found that what Hu Yanzan said made sense.
"Could it be that Yelu Hugo is really in Tongtai Pass?"
"Hehe......"
Li Xin smiled sarcastically: "Everything is just Yang Yansi's speculation. This is a military event, not a child's house. Could it be that Yang Yansi's guess alone can determine the actions of our army?
So what are you going to do with the war? Everyone sits together and guesses.
Besides, Yingzhou City was forced and the city was broken, how did Yang Yansi know?
I, the overseer who sits in place of His Majesty, still don't know, how can he, Yang Yanhe, know before me.
Could it be that Yang Yansi can still watch it on the battlefield?
If he could see, why not stop it? ”
Hu Yanzan frowned and said: "Yang Yansi is now the lord of several states in the northwest, and he has millions of Li people under his command. He is accountable to the people under his rule. Without permission, the leading troops boldly joined the great war between the Song and Liao countries, which is likely to cause a flank attack between the two countries. He won't be unfamiliar with this truth. ”
Persimmon always pick the softest pinch.
There is no doubt that between the two countries of Song and Liao, as well as Yang Qi's four northwestern prefectures, Yang Qi's four northwest prefectures are the softest persimmons.
Once Yang Qi entered the war without permission, the situation of the war was stirred.
aroused the dissatisfaction of the two countries, in case the two countries joined forces to exterminate him.
Then the chances of his survival will be extremely low.
Song and Liao did not move Yang Qi for the time being, not because Yang Qi was really strong and terrifying.
It's because both countries are jealous.
The Liao State was worried about sending heavy troops to attack Yang Qi, and the Song State would reap the benefits.
The same is true of the Song Kingdom.
The reason why Yang Qi is alive and kicking in the northwest is because Yang Qi knows how to measure and has always stood on the central axis, not too biased.
Moreover, on the occasion of the Great War of the two countries.
Yang Qi's sudden intervention could easily be seen as him wanting to reap the benefits.
When the time comes, it will not be human inside and out.
Li Xin was not as meticulous as Hu Yanzan thought, and he had never thought about Yang Qi in his heart, so naturally he would not consider the problem from Yang Qi's point of view.
Hearing Hu Yanzan's words, Li Xin mocked: "You, who are the old father-in-law, really speak for your son-in-law." As a Song Chen, he actually helped Yang Yansi speak for that kind of rebellion, hehehe......"
Hu Yanzan stared at the big eyes of the copper bell and roared angrily: "Li Xin, you have to slander the old man. ”
Hu Yanzan arched his hand in the direction where Bianjing City was located, and said solemnly: "The old man is loyal to His Majesty, and the sun and the moon can be seen. ”
"Hehe......"
Li Xin smiled sarcastically and said coldly: "Then you should tell me, if you didn't collude with Yang Yansi, why would Yang Yansi send you a letter alone." Also, why did you conclude that what Yang Yansi said was correct based on Yang Yansi's letter alone, without any evidence. ”
"You ......"
"Bang!"
Gao Chu Gong suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "Enough! Give me a moment of silence, the enemy is now, what is the noise, what's the point? ”
Li Xin snorted coldly, "For the sake of General Gao's face, this official won't care about you." However, if you collude with Yang Yansi, this official will definitely play it to Your Majesty truthfully. ”
Hu Yanzan said without showing weakness: "Whatever you want!" ”
Gao Chu Gong rubbed his eyebrows and sighed lightly: "You say, Yang Yansi's words are somewhat credible. ”
"At least eighty percent ......"
"Not a single point can be trusted!"
Before Hu Yanzan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Xin.
Li Xin said proudly: "This official is in Tongtai Pass, and he didn't see Brother Yeluxiu's handsome flag. Moreover, whether Yingzhou City and Mancheng were destroyed or not, the official was not arraigned. Therefore, what Yang Yansi said in the letter is purely false. ”
Hu Yanzan glared at Li Xin fiercely, looked at Gao Di and said, "Brother Gao Xian ......"
Gao Zu Gong waved his hand and motioned him not to speak, Gao Chu Gong said: "Since there is no evidence of what Yang Yansi said in the letter, then you can't believe it all." But we also have to be more vigilant.
Now that the war is deadlocked, it is impossible for Yang Yansi to send someone to send us a letter for no reason.
So it's better to be careful. ”
Li Xin frowned and said, "Is General Gao a little too careful?" ”
Gao Jun smiled and said, "It's better to be careful." ”
Li Xin glanced at Gao Zhigong, then looked at Hu Yanzan, and snorted coldly.
Hu Yanzan opened his mouth, trying to persuade a few words, but he couldn't say anything.
Hu Yanzan let out a long sigh and left the Chinese army's tent.
Li Xin urged Gao Chu Gong to continue to launch the war against Tongtai Pass.
Next.
Gao Zuo Gong once again launched a war against Tongtai Pass.
Today's battle was unusually smooth, and the Japanese soldiers climbed to the top of the city with little effort.
The Liao army at the head of the city seems to have been demoralized, and it seems that the soldiers have been exhausted in the previous battle.
In short, the resistance is weak.
Just when Gao Di Gong was excitedly preparing to give an order to the whole army and take Tongtai Pass in one go.
I saw a red flag messenger, and the horse galloped from a distance.
He ran to the front of the army, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Xin, and said in a deep voice: "Eight hundred miles in Beijing is urgent!" ”
Li Xin took the bamboo tube containing the letter, opened the seal, took out the letter and looked at it, and his face changed suddenly.
Gao Zuo Gong sensed that something was wrong, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”
Li Xin's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yingzhou City...... Full City ...... was slaughtered by the Liao army......"
Gao Chugong's face changed suddenly, and he roared in shock, "What Yang Yansi said is true?" ”
Li Xin nodded.
Gao Zhugong's face became more and more ugly, more and more ugly, "So, Brother Yelu Xiu is really in Tongtai Pass?" ”
Li Xin really didn't know how to answer.
Yesterday, he also threatened that Yang Qixin's belongings were all false.
Now half of what happened to Yang Qixin has been confirmed, and the other half is really hard for him to judge.
And Zhao Guangyi's order to order them to seize Tongtai Pass, he didn't say it at all.
If Brother Yelu Hugh is really in Tongtai Pass, will he kill him at this time and look for death?
Seeing Li Xin's hesitation, Gao Gong suddenly felt bad in his heart.
Gao Di Gong hurriedly found the herald and shouted urgently: "The herald goes down, the whole army retreats, and retreats to Waqiao Pass." ”
"The city is broken!"
Before Gao Zhigong's order was passed on, he heard a soldier holding the Japanese army shouting excitedly at the head of the city.
The city is broken?
The gates of the city were opened.
The Japanese soldiers rushed up and killed them.
In an instant, the Tongtai Pass, the big tent covering the cavalry of the Liao army was opened.
Under the huge tent, the Liao army, dressed in armor and holding knives, ready to charge at any time, appeared in front of everyone.
Guarded!
Solemn!
Chill!
Jeruxiugo's banner was raised again.
Jeruxiugo stood in front of the tent, holding a sword that symbolized his authority, and the long sword was unsheathed, and he pointed to the south to hold the Japanese army.
"Kill!"
The voice was not high-pitched, but it drove the murderous intent of the 40,000 Liao army iron horsemen.
40,000 Liao army iron cavalry poured out.
Bumped into the face of the Japanese soldier who had just rushed into the city.
Although the infantry armor of the Japanese army was strong, it was against their nemesis cavalry.
The cavalry was divided in battle formations and strangled.
The scene was very tragic.
Gao Zuo Gong had already gone mad, he rode on horseback and roared loudly, "Retreat! Remove! ”
Li Xin and Wang Chao decisively carried out Gao Chugong's order, they took the rest of the people and ran away without saying a word.
Gao Di Gong integrated the scattered soldiers and horses and retreated quickly.
Hu Yanzan, as the general who pressed the formation, did not retreat at the first time, but instead rushed to the side of Gao Di Gong across his horse, and roared: "You lead people to retreat first, and I will break back." ”
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.
At this time, it seems that Hu Yanzan is the only one left who is willing to help Gao Chugong.
Gao Di Gong shed tears without a breath.
He wanted to refuse to let Huyan Zanhou break off, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.
After being excited for a long time, Gao Di Gong choked up and said, "Brother Huyan...... Everything, please......"
"Let's go!"
Hu Yanzan shouted violently, grabbed Hu Yanda, who had been knocked out by him, and threw it on the back of Gao Chu Gong's horse.
"Take my son with you, go!"
Gao Ji Gong touched the tears that had already covered his cheeks with his big hand, choked and turned the horse's head.
"Withdraw!"
Those Japanese soldiers who fled in embarrassment by the Liaoguo Iron Cavalry ran away with Gao Di Gong.
Huyanzan stood on horseback with a mace in his hand and shouted, "Leave two thousand men behind, and follow me off." ”
In the end, he stayed with the people who were cut off by Huyanzan.
Less than 1,300 people.
They are true warriors, a group of people who are not afraid of life and death.
1,300 people dragged the 50,000 iron cavalry of the Liao army for two hours, and won the opportunity for other soldiers of the Japanese army to escape.
And these 1,300 people, in the end, there were less than 100 people left.
These 100 people, under the leadership of Hu Yanzan, fled all the way to the north.
Chasing Yanzan or chasing Gaochugong?
When this multiple-choice question was placed in front of Yelu Hugo, he chose to chase after Gao Zhigong without any hesitation.
The hundred people led by Huyanzan are not worth chasing.
Yelu Hugo led the troops in this way and chased Gao Di Gong for three days and three nights.
Chased all the way to the tile bridge pass.
