Chapter 16: Chasing
Ever since he was about to attack Yanyun, the dark department under Zhu Gui's jurisdiction had sent a large number of spies here to inquire about the news. This allowed Lin Chong to grasp the changes in the Yanyun battlefield.
On this day, the spy suddenly came back with a piece of news.
Song Jun broke through Bazhou with a sentence and was hurrying towards Yanjing.
Hearing this news, all the generals of the South Road Army, including Lin Chong, were taken aback.
You must know that although the Song army has the upper hand in the number of soldiers and horses, the Liao army uses the mobility of the cavalry to harass back and forth.
Coupled with the fortification of the fortified city, the Song army was helpless in the face of such a situation.
The war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao has always been a stalemate in Danzhou.
Now the Song army has easily conquered Bazhou, and has marched all the way to Yanjing. The Liao army seemed to be completely undefended, allowing the Song army to run rampant in the Yanyun area.
Lin Chong summoned many generals in the army and discussed it. Most people think that when the Liao army and the Song army reached an agreement, otherwise the Song army would not have been able to conquer Bazhou so easily.
Just as Lin Chong and the others were discussing how to face the combined forces of the Liao State and the Song State that might appear, further news came.
are ready to give up Yanyun, Yelu Dashi is broken bowl and broken.
Yelu Guozhen and the others felt that they were going to give up Yanyun, but even if they were leaving, this prosperous Yanjing could not be cheaper than others.
So Yelu Guozhen gave Yelu Dashi a strategy: "Today, we are short of money and food, and there are many rich Han people in Yanjing, so you can kill them and steal their families, and you will get millions of dollars." ”
This Yelu Dashi is not a good man and a woman, and he immediately thinks that Yelu Guozhen's idea is good.
He immediately issued an order, sent 3,000 cavalry to capture the wealthy households in Yanjing, a total of thousands, planted a flag on the head, and wrote the four big characters of "anti-minister and anti-party", all of which were cut outside the city and taken their money.
For a while, Yanjing's crying shook the heavens and the earth.
How could such a big movement of the Liao army hide the secret agents of the Yan State, they hurriedly passed the news to Lin Chong's hands.
After receiving the secret agent, knowing that Yelu Dashi had taken the initiative to give up Yan Yun, he led the remnants of the soldiers and horses to prepare to run to West Asia, Lin Chong and the others were surprised.
Yelu Dashi's move changed the entire Yanyun battle situation.
Originally, according to the previous plan, it should have been that after the southern army conquered Yanjing, the troops were divided into two routes, all the way to capture Bazhou first, and block the Song army's northward advance. All the way to Yunzhou.
But now that the Liao State took the initiative to abandon Yanyun, and the Song army wanted to seize Yanjing, Lin Chong could only passively change his plan.
After discussing with Hua Rong and Qin Ming, it was decided to implement the policy of attacking at the same time in three ways.
The first route is that Qin Ming led 5,000 cavalry to continue to pursue and kill the Liao army, and it was best to leave the Liao army and the treasures they looted.
The second route was Lin Chong led 20,000 soldiers and horses and went straight to Yanjing. It is necessary to capture Yanjing before the arrival of the Song army.
The third route Hua Rong led a detour to attack Bazhou, cutting off the retreat of the Song army and forcing the Song army to return to protect the back road.
When Qin Ming and Huang Xin heard the order, they immediately chased after them with the Flying Leopard Rider. All the way fast, one day and two days.
Because of the large amount of treasure grain and grass they carried, the speed of Yelu Dashi's party could not be faster at all, and at the end of the day, the team only walked less than 30 miles.
But Yelu Dashi was not worried, because he believed that he threw out such a fragrant bone as Yanjing, and Song Jun and Yan Jun must now be like vicious dogs, busy biting each other in order to compete for Yanjing, and they have no time to pay attention to themselves for the time being.
With confidence, he drove thousands of wagons, carrying treasures looted from Yanjing, and headed for West Asia.
After chasing for three days and two nights, the army led by Qin Ming and Huang Xin caught up with the tail of Yelu Dashi's army.
Seeing the situation of the Liao army from afar, Qin Ming frowned.
Although the Liao army had to drive thousands of carriages, they were quite numerous, with nearly 15,000 soldiers and horses.
But he only had 5,000 soldiers and horses.
If the Liao army dropped the carriage and gathered to fight, their 5,000 soldiers and horses might not be able to get a bargain.
Huang Xin saw Qin Ming's hesitant appearance, and immediately guessed what Qin Ming, who had the truth of a master, was afraid of.
At that moment, Huang Xin said: "Master is worry-free, before the palace marshal set off, he only ordered us to stop these Liao troops, but he did not explicitly order us to defeat them. As long as we keep harassing them, they will surely be dragged down by our army, and they will surely leave these treasures and flee!" ”
Although Qin Ming has a hot personality on weekdays, he is not a stupid person, and when he heard Huang Xin's strategy, he felt that it made sense.
So at the moment, he and Huang Xinbing divided into two routes, each leading a team of men and horses, and harassing the Liao army in two ways. When he killed in front of the Liao army, he also rushed in, that is, he shouted loudly to scare and threaten the Liao soldiers with javelins.
This sudden Yan army surprised Yelu Dashi. Isn't this Yan army afraid that the Song army will capture Yanjing first and let them work in vain?
Or are they so confident that they can defeat and then defeat the Song army and capture Yanjing?
Although it is not clear why the Yan army did not let the good Yanjing not fight, but wanted to attack his own deserter. But Yelu Dashi also knew that he had to defeat this Yan army first, otherwise the treasures he looted back would be cheaper for the other party.
Yelu Dashi roared: "Pass the order, all the generals gather their men and horses, and kill the enemy!" ”
The Liao army led by Yelu Dashi originally had many people who were the children of Khitan nobles, and they were reluctant to leave the prosperous Yanjing and follow Yelu Dashi to distant West Asia.
It's just that they are used to listening to orders, and under the pressure of Yelu Dashi, they have to follow.
Now seeing that the Yan army has been killed, many Liao soldiers have taken advantage of the chaos to escape
Qin Ming and Huang Xin saw that many Liao soldiers had fled, and they were even more eager to harass, and at the same time recruited Liao soldiers along the road, and at the same time used those Liao soldiers who had taken refuge to recruit Liao soldiers in turn.
As a result, the Liao army was even more chaotic.
Seeing that the army was becoming more and more unrestrained, Yelu Dashi also took the opportunity to make a decision, led 6,000 Liao troops close to him, took a batch of treasures, and left with Pegasus.
Because Qin Ming and Huang Xin had recruited a lot of Liao soldiers and captured a lot of loot, in order to protect these carriages full of treasures, Qin Ming's advance speed inevitably slowed down.
In the end, seeing that it was impossible to catch up with Yelu Dashi, Qin Ming and Huang Xin simply withdrew their troops and rushed to Yanjing to join Lin Chong.
When Qin Ming was chasing Yelu Dashi, Lin Chong also led his soldiers and horses to Yanjing.
When there were still more than thirty miles away from Yanjing, the spies rode back on horseback. "Palace Marshal, there is a Song Army forward sixty miles ahead!"
When Lin Chong heard this, he immediately thought about it. Now that his side has the advantage of speed, he can enter the city half a day before the Song army and occupy the favorable conditions of the city wall.
But before the saint came up, he told him that Yanjing had been occupied by the Liao State for a hundred years, and the people did not necessarily have their hearts on our side. After the army entered the city, it was inevitable that men would have to be assigned to stabilize the security in the city.
What's more, that guy is not a good stubble, if he sets a trap in the city or something. As soon as the Song army attacked the city, it would be in trouble.
Anyway, the Song army is a waste material that can't even win with a mere 10,000 Liao troops, even if it is a field battle, why be afraid of them!
After Lin Chong thought about it quickly, he made up his mind, and he shouted: "Don't enter the city with the whole army, first defeat the Song army, and then enter the city to repair!" ”
