On the morning of October 28, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, a large cavalry force was entering the territory of Moxi County in Ju'an County from the Weishan Pass of the Anxing Mountains, and this cavalry force was the Khitan army led by Yeluqi, the right king of Khitan, Yelu Amu, the king of Youxin, and Yeluge, the king of Zuoli.

This Khitan army formed to crusade against Liu Ji had a total of 220,000 Khitan cavalry, of which there were about 70,000 under Yeluqi, more than 100,000 under Yelu Amu, and about 50,000 under Yeluge.

Yeluqi, Yeluqi and Yeluge rode war horses, under the protection of a large number of guards, walking in the passage of the Weishan Pass, Yeluge suddenly asked Yeluqi: "Seventeenth brother, after our army entered Moxi County in Ju'an County, did it directly take Liu Ji's old nest Chengyin City, according to the information we obtained, although Liu Ji has become the Taishou of Ju'an County, but he did not stay in Shangyuan City, the county capital of Ju'an County, but still stayed in Chengyin City. ”

Yeluqi said with a smile: "Sixth brother, our three sect kings have led an army of 220,000 this time, and it is impossible for Liu Ji not to notice such a big movement, so even if we quickly march to Chengyin City, it should not play any role in the surprise attack, and at this time, this king believes that Liu Ji has begun to mobilize a large army to Chengyin City, ready to fight to the death with us, so that we don't have to worry, this king is ready to make the back road safer, and then enter Chengyin City, and have a good time with that big Jin dove!" ”

This time, the Khitan army crusaded against Liu Ji, and the Khitan Great Khan Yelu Enemy Lie handed over the commander-in-chief to Yeluqi, the king of Youli, and Yelu Amu, the king of Youxin, and Yeluge, the king of Zuoli, as his deputies.

Yelu Amu frowned at this time and asked, "Old Seventeen, what do you mean by this?" Originally, didn't you say that we entered Jue'an County from the Weishan Pass of the Anxing Mountains in order to take Liu Ji's old nest Chengyin City by surprise? ”

Yeluqi explained with a smile: "Uncle Nine, according to the latest information I got from Jue'an County, I thought about it again, and decided to cut off Liu Ji's wings first, and first solve Moxi City and Ningchuan City in Jue'an County, so that our army's back road will be worry-free, and we can also grab a batch of food and materials, and then have a good fight with that Liu Ji!" ”

Yelu Amu asked puzzledly: "According to the latest information we have obtained from Ju'an County, Liu Ji now only controls the county capital and four counties of Ju'an County, Moxi City and Ningchuan City are not under Liu Ji's control, do the Jin troops of these two cities dare to provoke our 220,000 Khitan army?" ”

Yeluqi continued: "Ninth Uncle, Liu Ji is the Taishou of Jue'an County officially appointed by the Jin Imperial Court, and he has the right to requisition the Jin army in the two counties of Moxi City and Ningchuan City, you must know that Liu Ji also has more than 200,000 troops under his command, and there are more than 100,000 cavalry alone, once the Khitan army of the three of us and Liu Ji's army form a stalemate situation, the Jin army of Moxi City and Ningchuan City is likely to attack and cut off our back road, so this king is ready to get rid of these two hidden dangers first!" ”

Yeluge, the king of Zuoli, followed and asked Yeluqi: "Seventeenth brother, we Khitans are not good at attacking cities, why don't we attack them directly from the grassland, you must know that Liu Ji is in the grassland north of Xishan Pass, but he controls a large amount of territory." ”

Yeluqi said: "Sixth brother, now that Liu Ji has built a fortress at Xishankou, it has basically been completed, in this way, the cavalry troops arranged by Liu Ji in the grassland north of Xishankou can retreat and defend and attack, if we choose to attack directly from the grassland, we don't need to attack the Xishankou fortress, this king doesn't want our Khitan warriors to attack a fortress at the mouth of the gorge, how many lives of our Khitan warriors will be needed!" ”

Yelu Amu, the king of the right faith, and Yelu Ge, the king of the left rite, looked at each other and nodded slightly, which can be regarded as agreeing with the plan of the right king Yeluqi.

Yelu Amu asked again, "Then Old Seventeen, where are you going to attack first?" ”

Yeluqi said without hesitation: "After the army passes through the Weishan Pass, we will first take Moxi City, and then Ningchuan City, according to our intelligence, there are only more than 5,000 Jin troops in Moxi County, and there are only more than 7,000 Jin troops in Ningchuan County, and our 220,000 troops should not have much difficulty in capturing these two counties!" ”

At noon on October 28, a large number of Khitan cavalry appeared outside Moxi City, which made the defender of Moxi City, the general Gong Xun, suddenly shocked.

Gong Xun took his five sons Gong Yi, Gong Zhong, Gong Xin, Gong Da, Gong Cheng, and four nephews Gong Tong, Gong Wu, Gong Yun, and Gong Ke, and climbed the north wall of Moxi City together.

Seeing the Khitan cavalry coming from outside the city, Gong Xun's eldest son Gong Yi shouted incredulously: "Didn't you say that the Khitans are going to crusade against Liu Ji this time?" Why did they directly surround our Moxi City? ”

Gong Xun's second son, Gong Zhong, said with a wry smile: "It is very likely that the Khitans did not understand our relationship with Liu Ji, and the Khitans may think that Liu Ji is the Taishou of Ju'an County, and our army in Moxi City is Liu Ji's subordinates!" ”

Gong Xun's nephew Gong Tong asked: "Then can we explain to the Khitans, according to the information we have received, the Khitans have organized more than 200,000 cavalry this time, and if they want to attack our Moxi City, it will be bad!" ”

Gong Xun's fifth son, Gong Cheng, sighed and said at this time: "Even if the Khitans understand the relationship between our Moxi City and Liu Ji, they will not let us go of Moxi City easily, after all, we are the army of the Jin Kingdom, and the location of Moxi City threatens the back road of the Khitan army, alas——"

Gong Xun's nephew Gong Wu waved the long knife in his hand, and said in a cold voice: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, our Gong family has guarded Moxi City for many years, how have you ever been afraid of the Hulu in the grassland, whether they are Khitan or annoying, if you want Moxi City, then let the horse come!" ”

Gong Wu aroused the resonance of the younger generation of the Gong family, and they shouted that they would fight the Khitans to the end.

Gong Xun looked at the five sons and four nephews beside him, the expression on his face was very solemn, after all, there was a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and me, and there were only 5,000 troops in his hands that could fight, although there were nearly 20,000 young and strong men in Moxi City, but in terms of combat effectiveness, they could not be compared with the regular army.

You must know that in the face of the 40,000 army of the Cangxiong tribe of the Loufu tribe back then, Moxi City's resistance was already very difficult, and the strength of the Khitan army this time was more than five times that of the Cangxiong tribe of the Loufu tribe back then.

However, when Gong Xun saw the Khitan army outside the city, he knew in his heart that this battle should be inevitable!

Immediately, Gong Xun ordered his five sons and four nephews in a deep voice: "Immediately call the young and strong men in the city to go to the city wall, no matter what, Moxi City must be defended!" ”
