Chapter 266: Gathering 200,000 troops

After the partial general Gong Xun gave the order for the general mobilization of the people in the city, Gong Xun's eldest son Gong Yi asked in a low voice: "Father, will there be reinforcements to rescue our Moxi City?" ”

Gong Xun glanced at the corpses of his son Gong Cheng and nephew Gong Tong again, and said in a somewhat solemn tone: "In the vicinity of our Moxi City, only the forces of the Fan family in Ningchuan City and the forces of the new Taishou Liu Ji of Ju'an County, in the face of the 220,000 Khitan army, the little army of the Fan family is of no avail, even if the Fan family really sends troops to rescue our Moxi City, it is impossible to relieve the siege of Moxi City, as for the new Taishou Liu Ji of Ju'an County, ......"

"Father, can Liu Taishou come to the rescue of our Moxi City?"

"Alas - to be honest, my father doesn't know, it stands to reason that the real target of the Khitan army this time is Liu Ji, and he should take advantage of the opportunity of the Khitan army being pinned down in Moxi City to have a decisive battle with the Khitan army! However, the cavalry of the Khitan people is very powerful, and this time they gathered 220,000 troops, and that Liu Ji didn't dare to come out of the nest if he couldn't make it, and chose to have a decisive battle with the Khitan army outside Moxi City, but waited for our Moxi City to consume the strength of the Khitan army, if this is the case, our Moxi City can ......"

"Father, it's better to send someone to fight out of the encirclement at night and ask Liu Taishou for help! The total number of men, women, and children in our entire Moxi City is less than 60,000, and we can't reach the more than 200,000 Khitan army at all, if Liu Taishou doesn't send troops to rescue Moxi City, we won't be able to hold it after all! ”

"Alas-there is no need to send someone to ask Liu Ji for help, we have such a big movement here in Moxi City, Liu Ji can't not know, if he is willing to rescue Moxi City, he will bring troops to help, if he wants to be a wall-by-side, even if he kneels in front of him for his father to beg him, he will not send troops, and the outside of the city has been surrounded by Khitan people, how easy it is to rush out!"

In fact, as early as a few days ago, Liu Ji learned that the Khitans had formed a cavalry army of 220,000 to crusade against him, so Liu Ji concentrated his sixteen cavalry battalions, four infantry battalions and guard battalions on the grassland north of Xishan Pass, preparing to confront the Khitan army head-on.

The Xishankou Fortress, which was originally under construction, has completed the construction of the northern city wall, so that Liu Ji can completely mobilize troops to resist the Khitan army in the Xishankou Fortress, but once Liu Ji makes this choice, then it is equivalent to giving up the grassland north of Xishankou, who knows when the Khitans will retreat?

So Liu Ji learned that the Khitan people had 220,000 troops this time, so he decided to directly gather troops to meet the battle, in order to protect the grassland north of Xishankou, Liu Ji through the naturalization of the Hu people's narrative, calculated that the area of this grassland north of Xishankou is at least 90,000 square kilometers, and the area of the entire Ji'an County should be about 40,000 square kilometers, and the grassland north of Xishankou is equivalent to more than 2 Ji'an counties, Liu Ji is not willing to give up easily.

The last fierce battle with the Khitan army pursuing the Uighurs, the cavalry under Liu Ji lost nearly 30,000 people, although they were supplemented by 15,000 Uighur cavalry, but there was still a shortage of almost 15,000 people, and now the sixteen cavalry battalions in Liu Ji's hands have only 145,000 people.

Counting the 32,000 men of the four infantry battalions and the more than 10,000 people of the Guards Battalion, Liu Ji concentrated a total of 187,000 men this time, and the Uighurs learned that the Khitans had sent another large army, and the Uighur Khan Kurban gathered the 16,000 Uighur cavalry that the whole tribe was currently capable of fighting again, and joined forces with Liu Ji to form an army of more than 200,000, ready to meet the 220,000 Khitan army together.

However, what Liu Ji never expected was that the Khitan army did not go straight to the grassland north of Xishan Pass, but actually entered the territory of Ju'an County directly from the Weishan Pass of the Anxing Mountains, and launched an attack on Moxi City.

So Liu Ji hurriedly led the army through the Xishan Pass and entered the territory of Chengyin County, preparing to meet the cavalry army of the Khitans.

In the middle of the night of October 28, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, in a tent in the temporary camp of the pasture south of Xishan Pass in Chengyin County, Liu Ji asked Su Lie with a solemn face: "How is the situation in Moxi City?" ”

At this time, dozens of people gathered in this tent, in addition to Liu Ji and Su Lie, there were also the captains of the other fifteen cavalry battalions under Liu Ji, Yang Zaixing, Zhou Kai, Hua Xiong, Wu Liang, Qu Tutong, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, Zang Ba, Cao Xiu, Yan Yan, Feng Sheng, Lin Chong and Guan Sheng, as well as the captains of the four infantry battalions Gao Shun, Xu Rong, Li Xin and Meng Wu.

The two infantry battalions of Gao Shun and Xu Rong were originally stationed in Chengyin City, and the two infantry battalions of Li Xin and Meng Wu were originally stationed in Shangyuan City, both of which were drawn out by Liu Ji.

Dian Wei, Liu Meng, Gao Chong, Tai Shici, Chen Hao, Chen Zhong, Gan Ning, Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Xu Chu, Du Ning, Xiao Feng, Luo Kun, Wang Bodang, He Ruobi, Li Wenzhong, Shi Bao and Yu Tai in the guard camp, a total of thirteen top generals and five first-class generals are also in this tent.

In addition, there were four people in the tent, namely the Uighur Great Khan Kurban and the Uighur Right Sage King Shamushak, as well as Ding Lin, who is currently acting as Liu Ji's adviser, and Tong Bin, the worship of the Liu family, while Liu Ji's three puppet bodyguards were guarding outside the curtain of the tent.

This time, in the face of the 220,000 army of the Khitans, Liu Ji attached great importance to it, and he not only concentrated most of the troops under his command, but also brought all the twenty top generals under his command.

Liu Ji has learned that the commander of this Khitan army is the first master of the Khitan tribe, one of the eight Khitan kings of the right king Yeluqi, legend has it that Yeluqi is not only resourceful, but also born with divine power, never defeated in his life, known as the Khitan God of War.

Su Lie heard Liu Ji's question, and immediately replied: "Lord, according to the news that the scout just sent back, the Khitan army launched a siege battle against Moxi City today, although it did not break through the walls of Moxi City, but it led a lot of losses to the defenders of Moxi City, and the Khitans only sent about 10,000 people to attack the city today, once the Khitans attacked the city with all their might, Moxi City should not last long!" ”

Liu Ji sighed and said: "This army of the Khitans did not play cards according to common sense, and went directly to attack Moxi City, let's talk about it, what should we do next?" ”

As soon as Liu Ji's voice fell, Ding Lin said: "Lord, the Khitans have a total of 220,000 troops this time, and now that the Khitans are attacking Moxi City, it is just right for Moxi City to consume the strength of the Khitans, and our Ji'an army can wait and see the changes and reap the benefits of the fishermen!" ”
