Chapter 1150: Dajin Will Prosper, Jiliao Will Die?
May 17 of the first year of Daliao Tianqing.
Ningjiang Prefecture, the west flow is mixed with the east bank of the river.
"Great Song, Wan Sheng! Jurchen, Wan Sheng! "On the battlefield around them, there were loud cheers one after another, accompanied by the sound of leather drums and the thundering of horses' hooves!
In the south of Ningjiang Prefecture City, on the east bank of the West Stream (there are east and west streams of the Tong River), and the flat meadow like a tabletop, Xiao Sixian, who was about to sneak attack the Jurchens, was beaten by the morale of the Jurchen "Gunda".
For Xiao Sixian, this battle was really too unjustly lost, and before the Jurchens with the Wanfu Banner suddenly came out of the grass on the east bank of the West Mixed River that was taller than a person, he didn't know that Ningjiang Prefecture had been lost. I thought that the front was still the land under the control of the Great Liao State!
And after Ah Guda captured Ningjiang Prefecture and captured the Great Medicine Master Nu (Xiao Tzu was not also captured, but he did not flee to the south, but fled to the west to the ancient city of Dalu, so he did not meet Xiao Sixian who went north), he mastered the general action route map of Xiao Sixian's department, and knew when and where he would cross the Xiliu Mingtong River. That's why he set up an ambush in advance and hit Xiao Si one and a half first.
What made Xiao Sixian want to cry without tears was that when he, the commander of the army, was in the battle of the Xiliu Mixed River, because the Bohai Department led by Gao Yongchang had a capsized accident while crossing the river, he had to run to deal with it himself, so he delayed his time to cross the river. Therefore, when about 10,000 cavalry (including auxiliaries) who had crossed the Xiliu Mingtong River were raided by about 4,000 Shengjurchen cavalry, he, the Khitan general, was still on the west bank of the Mingtong River, and could only watch his subordinates being crushed by the Shengjurchen Iron Cavalry wearing Tianjin Qizi armor in a chaos!
The equipment and tactics of these Jurchen cavalry are exactly the same as the cavalry of the Youzhou Army!
And their combat effectiveness seems to be better than that of the Youzhou Knights! Three or four thousand horsemen divided into sixty or seventy phalanxes, and suddenly appeared in the meadow two or three hundred paces away from the river beach, and rushed out one after another. At the same time, it launched a wheel attack on the head, waist and tail of the Khitan cavalry that was forming along the river beach. Their attacks are so swift and sharp that they are almost unstoppable! Even the cavalry under Xiao Fengxian's command were the elite of the tribal army with the Flying Tiger and Flying Bear military horns, and they did not organize effective resistance, and were soon cut into four sections by the heavy cavalry of the Jurchens.
After cutting more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry into four sections, the tactics of the Jurchens immediately changed. A part of the cavalry gave up the shock tactics, but turned into three sharp blades, dividing the tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry into four sections. Shoulder to shoulder, back to back, and use super hand-to-hand combat ability to firmly block the enemies trying to converge!
The rest of the cavalry formed a brigade of 300 horsemen, and pounced on the Khitan cavalry that was cut into four sections in waves. Wave after wave of pounces, each wave can kill, trample to death, and stab to death an unknown number of Khitans. And the Khitan cavalry, which was huddled together and attacked on both wings, could not relieve the trap at all, and could only stand up to withstand the impact of the Jurchens. After carrying a few waves of death, they really couldn't bear it anymore, and they were forced by the horse pistols of the Jurchen cavalry to run into the mixed river. The gray river water slapped against the river beach, rolling up and down the white waves, and above and below the white waves, were the heads of the struggling Khitans!
But how many people can swim across the rolling river? Now is the time of abundant water in summer, and the river surface of the west-flowing mixed river is more than 100 zhang wide, and the water flow is turbulent. Unless the water is amazing, you can't swim at all. Moreover, most of the Khitans who were driven down the river were wearing armor, and if they didn't have time to take it off, they would be swept away by the waves after a few ups and downs.
Even if you manage to break free from your armor, you won't necessarily be able to escape for your life. Because many girls and real people also rushed to the edge of the river, they took out the stubborn sheep's horn bows and began to shoot arrows into the water! Arrows are not missing, arrows are deadly!
Soon the waters of the mixed river were stained red with human blood!
Mixed with the east bank of the river, witnessing his troops being killed by the Jurchens, Xiao Sixian's face was like ashes, standing in the cold river breeze.
Gao Yongchang beside him was still struggling to persuade: "Retreat!" All the troops are in charge, stay in the green mountains, and are not afraid of no firewood...... Taking advantage of the fact that the daughter has not crossed the river, let's retire to Huanglong Mansion. As long as the Huanglong Mansion is still there, the birth of a daughter can only be a disaster in the area of the Tongjiang River. If the Huanglong Mansion is lost, it will be a big trouble! ”
Xiao Sixian didn't seem to hear Gao Yongchang's words, but just muttered to himself: "Why did you lose?" How did you lose? I didn't fight well, why did I lose? Tens of thousands, of which there are 5,000 regular cavalry, and 1,500 armored cavalry...... Why did you lose, it's too wretched! Tens of thousands......"
As he spoke, Xiao Si first suddenly let out a miserable howl.
This battle was indeed lost, and it is really a bit unclear. How did the Jurchens get to the bank of the Xiliu Mingtong River? Obviously, it was the Liao army that went to attack the Jurchens, why was it attacked by the Jurchens in turn?
Also, what happened to Ningjiang Prefecture on the east bank of the river? Could it have been captured by the Birth of Jurchen? It was a stone town with thousands of defenders!
Gao Yongchang saw Xiao Sixian crying miserably, and burst out a few tears, pulling Xiao Sixian, who was almost stupid: "All the commanders, what's the use of crying now?" The rivers and mountains of Daliao still depend on us to protect them! There is no way here anymore, hurry up and give the order and retreat to Huanglong Mansion. As long as the Huanglong Mansion is in hand, you are not afraid of having a daughter and becoming bigger. ”
Xiao Sixian knew that Gao Yongchang was right, the combat effectiveness of the birth girl was really strong, no less than the Youzhou Army of the Song Kingdom that captured Nanjing Road.
When encountering such an opponent, it is impossible to win quickly, only lasting. And if you want to make a long-term plan, Huanglong Mansion must not be lost.
Because Huanglongfu (near Changchun) is surrounded by large fertile plains, and there is a certain amount of development. There was a mature woman who settled there in the town of Longfu, and a lot of fertile land was cultivated. With the grain of Huanglong Mansion, Shengjuzhen can gather tens of thousands, or even more soldiers and horses.
The Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000, and it is invincible!
……
"See? Do you see it? God bless me, God bless me Jurchen! ”
At the same moment, Wanyan Agu was brainwashing and cheering up the more than a dozen Jurchen tribal leaders around him.
Moreover, he now truly believes that he is blessed by Heavenly Reason!
The first battle in Ningjiang Prefecture went so smoothly! A sturdy stone city was taken without much effort—because the Khitan defenders in the city came out to die on their own, and set up an ambush to give away their heads casually.
And the battle of the West Stream Mixed with the River is smoother! Ningjiang Prefecture has changed, and the army led by Xiao Sixian actually knows nothing, and they are still crossing the Tongjiang River without warning. As a result, he was caught by Wanyan Agu, who was guarding the river, and he was killed and killed by one and a half crossings, and there were always 8,000 of them!
Isn't the battle fought so smoothly blessed by God?
More than a dozen leaders of the Jurchen tribe who followed Wanyan Agu were also stupid, and the Great Liao soldiers were too weak, right? Tens of thousands of cavalry, in this way, the cavalry of less than 4,000 Jurchens was wiped out. It doesn't seem to be difficult!
Is this the invincible Great Liao?
This is the Khitan who has been riding on the neck of the Jurchens for more than a hundred years and is a powerful man?
"Du Bo is extremely fierce, and the Khitans on the other side of the river have retreated!"
Wanyan Sagai's voice suddenly sounded, and Wanyan Aguda and the tribal leaders of the group of Shengnuzhen around him all set their eyes on the other side of the mixed river.
The Liao army there was really retreating, and there were still more than a dozen fires on the river, and it should be the Liao army burning the ferry.
"Hahaha, I really retreated!" Wanyan laughed out loud, "Send an order to the sons and daughters, let them look for a ferry boat along the river, and we should also go and go around the west bank of the mixed river." ”
He suddenly straightened up, his eyes widened, he raised his voice, and shouted loudly: "Tianli has just given me a will, Tianli blesses, Dajin will prosper, and Jiliao will die!" ”
Well, Ah Guda has also finished the trick of "Apocalypse"!
The leaders of the Wanyan tribe around him, as well as the leaders of the Shengjurchen tribes, also shouted regardless of whether the "Apocalypse" was true or not: "Heaven blesses, Dajin will prosper, and Jiliao will die!" ”
This voice soon spread throughout the battlefield!
……
With a bang, the summer camp of Rabbit Mountain, the imperial case in the imperial tent was knocked to the ground. Frightened, the eunuchs around them who were standing with their heads bowed fell to the ground.
Several important ministers of Da Liao did not dare to raise their heads.
Yelu Yanxi, who had just toppled the imperial case, stood there in a daze, and heard a cry from Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Sixian's brother who was lying in front.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... It's all incompetent, you have to take care of ......"
Xiao Si was unlucky or incompetent, but he was defeated.
And this defeat completely ruined the hope of Liao's quick victory over the girl!
Don't look at Yelu Yanxi's threat to personally lead the army to go on a tour of the tiger water, but he knows very well in his heart that if he really takes 100,000 regular soldiers to Wanyan Nuzhen's lair, it will put Daliao's national fortune on the gambling table.
And...... The odds of winning are still small!
The current Yelu Yanxi can be regarded as old in the battle array. Fought in Hebei, fought in Hedong, and was also beaten by Wu Haogu in Youzhou. Of course, I know the truth of fighting a war and fighting logistics.
100,000 regular soldiers with guards is 200,000! The pack horses accompanying the army were at least 400,000...... How much does a person consume in a day when he eats what a horse chews? Where to raise it? And how to transport it?
From Liaoyang Mansion or Linhuang Mansion to Mingtong River, it is up and down 1,000 miles, and transporting grain for thousands of miles is not a joke! Transporting grain for 200,000 people and 400,000 pack horses for thousands of miles is an unimaginably huge project. Not to mention the bitter Da Liao, it is also difficult to bear it if it is replaced by a big guy like the Great Song Dynasty.
Therefore, waving the army to attack the Tongjiang River is simply an uncertain gamble. But if you don't gamble, how can Daliao explain in China?
When you are the emperor of Da Liao, you can't be too weak, otherwise you will be replaced!
