Chapter 543: Go and summon all the generals of Jinglue Mansion
The Liao State, since its establishment in 915, has been passed down to the present day, about two hundred and ten years. Yelu Yanxi was the ninth emperor. Since the founding of Yelu Abaoji, the Khitan of the Liao State has been the largest force in the north for two hundred years, ruling the vast grasslands and the land of white mountains and black waters, as well as Yanyun. Until the Jurchen rose and destroyed the country with lightning speed.
But the tenacity of the Khitan people in history is rare in the world. Even though the Liao State was destroyed, Yelu Dashi established a powerful Western Liao in Central Asia. More than 80 years later, the Western Liao was destroyed by the Mongols, but the Khitan country did not perish. The Khitans migrated to the land of West Asia, and established the Later Western Liao in what is now Iran, also known as the Qierman Dynasty, and the power was not small, and after more than 80 years, it was once again taken over by the Mongols who marched westward.
The country of the Khitans, if you count it from this point of view, is four hundred years. The Khitans who came down from the Great Khing'an Mountains at the easternmost tip of the mainland have traveled all over East Asia and South Asia, which is really worthy of admiration.
Even today, Yelu Dashi is still fighting bravely, wanting to fight out of the battle array, return to Yanjing, and continue to defend this once invincible Khitan Empire.
Zheng Zhi continued to move forward, and once again rushed into the battle array, even if the Liao people were on the run, countless people turned their heads back to resist the enemy, wanting to buy enough time for the comrades who broke through in front of the head.
In front of Zheng Zhi, there were all Liao people who rushed up. This is also the first time that Zheng Zhi has seen an army that is at the end of the road, but can still retreat like this.
The fight is still so fierce. Hu Yanzhuo fought and retreated, and above the battle array, Hu Yanzhuo was not allowed to play alone, the soldiers on the left and right were all retreating, and Hu Yanzhuo could move forward alone.
The fighting in the city of Zhuozhou has stopped, more than 10,000 Liao people, most of them died in the city, and a few escaped from the door, but outside the city of Zhuozhou, there are Song soldiers everywhere, and I don't know how many people can really escape.
There are also some really smart people who get into the courtyard wall of the city, take off their armor, wash the blood stains on their bodies, speak Chinese, and live incognito, and they can still live in this life.
It seems that many of the people in the city are willing to take in these remnants of the defeated army. The subjects of the Liao State for nearly 200 years have gone through ten generations of generations, and in this city of Zhuozhou, there is actually no distinction between Khitan and Han. Many of these soldiers who fought for the Liao State were actually Han Chinese.
The streets and alleys are full of corpses, pillowing each other to death, head to tail. There are also those Cangzhou soldiers whose hands and feet are still trembling, it turns out that they are not really cheering after the end of the war. There is also the fear of being late, there is also the tension of continuation, and the sadness of the death of a brother or neighbor of the same clan.
There is also hatred for the Liao people in my heart. War is like this, after the First World War, the hatred of the soldiers is the greatest motivation to continue the war.
Mi Zhenwu and Xiang Lide led the remaining cavalry under their command to patrol quickly on the riverbank, killing the remnants of the Liao people who rushed out of the city one by one. This is not a wide water, and it is obvious that no one can get by today.
Wu Ze also came down from the mountain, and he could see the situation of the battle formation clearly, the Liao people outside the city had fallen into a heavy siege, and the war in the city was over.
Wu Ze got down from the hill, pulled the carriage out of the forest, and the three of them took the carriage in the direction of Zhuozhou City.
When Wu Ze saw the camp outside the city again, the war outside the city was over.
Zheng Zhi was beating his horse and returning to the camp. Many people followed left and right, all smiling.
"Xianggong, it's a pity that I ran away from the Yelu big stone." Wu Yong's expression was a little regretful, the name Yelu Dashi, Wu Yong had only heard it recently, but it was the words in Zheng Zhi's mouth, and he valued this Yelu Dashi a lot. That's why Wu Yong has this regret, and it's a pity that this Yelu Dashi, which Zheng Zhi attaches great importance to, has run away.
Zheng Zhi waved his hand when he heard this: "It's okay, it's nothing to run a few hundred people, so even if Yelu Dashi arrives in Yanjing, he won't dare to cruise outside the city like today." We don't have to face the dilemma we face today. When you arrive at Yanjing, you can attack the city. ”
Zheng Zhi didn't feel sorry for Yelu Dashi's escape. If Yelu Dashi died here today, Zheng Zhi would feel pity.
In today's battle, the 7,000 ironclad heavy cavalry of the Liao State was completely lost, and it was nothing to run a Yelu Dashi. This Liao country is not something that Yelu Dashi can save back.
When Wu Yong heard this, his face was much more relaxed, and he only said: "Xianggong, if you think about it like this, then Yanjing City is not a problem, the Liao Kingdom has come to an end, and the day of destruction is not far away." ”
Zheng Zhi nodded and said: "The destruction of Liao is a foregone conclusion, but it is the 300,000 people in this Yanjing City, who should be appeased and ordered to all ministries, especially the soldiers of the state capital, from today onwards, not to slaughter an innocent person in Yanyun, and not to loot the property of a family in Yanyun." Violators will be punished immediately. ”
When Yelu Abaoji was founded, there were 400,000 households in Liao and a population of 2 million. At the time of Yelu Yanxi's reign, the Liao Kingdom had reached 1.4 million households and a population of 9 million. Among them, there are more than three or four million Han people in the sixteen states of Yanyun, of which the population of Yanjing is more than 300,000. When the Later Jin Dynasty ceded Yanyun, Yanyun, who had been in war for many years, only had a population of about one million. The sinicization of Liaofu is actually not bad for Yanyun's governance.
Wu Yong immediately took out a pen and paper and recorded Zheng Zhi's order word for word.
Zheng Zhi returned to the camp tent, and the Huotou army also began to bury the pot to make food, after the war, everyone was inevitably tired and hungry.
It's just that among these hundreds of thousands of people, I don't know how many can still eat this hearty meal.
The aftermath is naturally the errand of these state capital soldiers, the corpses all over the ground, those who can be saved must be saved, and the dead must be separated from one enemy and the other, the corpses of the Liao people must be dug and buried, and the corpses of the Song people must be disposed of and brought back to Hebei.
Swords, guns, swords, halberds, armor and arrows were all over the ground, and there were scattered war horses in all directions. Gather them all together.
In the first battle of Zhuozhou, more than 15,000 Liao people were killed and more than 1,000 escaped.
The men of the Western Army, more than 400 killed.
Mi and Xiangli, more than 2,600 people were killed.
Cangzhou foot soldiers, more than 6,700 killed.
The state capital banned the army, and more than 20,000 people were killed.
In terms of the proportion of battle losses, the number of Song troops killed in their early 30,000s, and the Liao people lost 15,000. One Liao man exchanged the lives of two Song people. It is already a huge loss.
The soldiers under Zheng Zhi are no longer more than 100,000 people, but more than 100,000. An army of 100,000 turned into an army of 100,000.
Zheng Zhi looked at the approximate data and sighed.
In the era of cold weapons, there is a problem in war, that is, there are many serious injuries and deaths. Due to the limitations of medical conditions, many people who were injured multiple times, who could have been saved by a needle and thread, a bowl of alcohol, and a few tablets of anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics, could only watch him die of pain.
Not everyone has the luck of Luan Tingyu, and not everyone will use sterilization and needlework to suture wounds.
Zheng Zhi doesn't know a lot about medical things, biology and chemistry, Zheng Zhi also knows a lot. But it was the problem of battlefield rescue that was already haunting Zheng Zhi's mind.
"Xianggong, Master Tong's guard Wu Ze asks to see you!" Niu Da came in to report.
Zheng Zhi raised his hand and said, "Bring it in." ”
Niu Da turned around and left, and after a while, Wu Ze, a witness to this battle, walked in, first saluted respectfully, and then said while untying his shirt: "Zheng Xianggong, Master Tong's secret letter, let me untie my shirt a little." ”
Zheng Zhi nodded. Wu Ze unbuttoned a few pieces of clothing until the most intimate one was revealed, then pulled out a small short blade from his waist, cut the clothes, and took out the secret letter that was sewn into the underwear.
It can be seen that this Wu Ze is cautious, and the content of this secret letter is too important, which is related to the heads of many people.
Zheng Zhi took the letter handed over by Wu Ze, the fire paint seals were all intact, and he read it after opening it.
Wu Ze inserted the short blade back into his waist, and slowly put on his clothes on the side. After putting on his clothes, Wu Ze secretly looked up at this god-like man, and his heart became more and more excited.
Zheng Zhi, who looked at the letter, frowned slowly. After a while, anger appeared on his face.
After a while, I saw Zheng Zhi stand up, his body was already exposed, he tore the letter into crumbs in a few strokes, and asked, "What about people?" ”
Wu Ze was stunned when he heard this, hurriedly lowered his head, hid his peeking eyes, and then replied: "Zheng Xianggong, the person is in the carriage outside the big tent." ”
When Zheng Zhi heard this, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Niu Da, go and call all the generals under the Jingluo Mansion!" ”
Niu Da saw the color on his official's face, and already knew that the big thing was not good, so he hurriedly rushed out of the account.
