Chapter Eighty-Three: Jin Xianfeng burns down the Liao camp
Let's say that Yi Lie saw that Xiao Tzu was not wild and King Yelu Shi wanted to leave, and he was not convinced, and the 3,000 elite soldiers of the command post department chased after him. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoWhen I chased to the twelfth or three miles, I suddenly woke up!
is the so-called: Returning to the master is not hidden, and he has forgotten the art of war that he is not chasing! Fang Zhi is afraid of the enemy's plan to lure troops.
It happened that the northern and southern armies also came quickly, and the generals blamed Yi Lie for his carelessness, and Yi Lie also admitted his mistake, retreated with the army, and returned to Ningjiang.
The Liao army retreated for about 20 miles and stopped, although it was defeated for a while, but there were not many casualties, although the horns were chaotic, the military spirit was still there.
Xiao Tzu Buye reorganized the military formation, and ordered Xiao Hemu to command 1,000 elite soldiers and kill back and forth. Yelu Yaoye and Yelu Yanhui each led about 800 to march together, and then led a large army and King Yelu Shi to return to Ningjiang.
Yi Lie and other generals saw that the general would enter the city, suddenly heard the shouts behind him shook the sky, looked back, only to see the dust and sand rolling, Xiao Hemu commanded the front army, has returned to Ningjiang, everyone was hesitant for a while, led the army out of the city, the two armies launched a fierce battle under the city, the iron cavalry impacted, the short soldiers were connected, the blood flowed, the dead bodies became a mountain, the fight was dark, and the sand and dust were everywhere.
The army in Liaozhong has quite rich combat experience, and it has advanced steadily step by step; The Jurchen army was also brave, but there was still a big gap with the regular army of Liao, and they were defeated and retreated to Ningjiang. The Liao army was in hot pursuit, wanting to take advantage of the situation to break the city.
After Ah Gu Da Li sent Yan Zuoda to transfer two hundred strong archers, divided into three waves, they took turns to shoot arrows, and the arrows shot were extremely far away, directly stopping the Liao army from chasing and killing the defeated Jurchen army. Xiao Tzu Buye ordered the siege of the city, and the Liao army rushed towards the Ningjiang River like a tide.
Aguta transferred another hundred elite soldiers to defend the city, and for a time the arrows were like dense rain, and the Liao army could not get close to the city at all, so they were directly shot back by this random arrow, and countless people were killed and wounded.
Xiao Tzu Buye was furious, ordered the cavalry to retreat, blocked the arrows with shield soldiers, attacked the city with infantry, and protected the attacking machinery to storm the gate of Ningjiang.
The Jurchen soldiers stubbornly defended and did not flinch.
The Jurchen generals went to the city to help defend it, and with the supervision of Aguta and Wu Qimai, the Jurchen guards were very brave, but the longer the time dragged on, the more difficult it was to resist the Liao army's wave after wave of strong attacks, and morale began to be depressed.
Ah Gu looked at it, took a bow and shot an arrow to kill a shield soldier under the city, and said angrily: "Soldiers, the Liao court is corrupt, the aristocratic dictatorship, bullying my people, lewd my women, and taking away my Dongqing, not sharing the sky!" After saying that, all the soldiers on the tower were furious, and they drew their bows and shot the enemy, all of them were brave, and their morale was greatly boosted.
The original set of three hundred strong archers shot the enemy in three rounds, and then after a bone beating, the soldiers spontaneously became two groups, the city tower was crowded with guards of soldiers, with thunder stones, rolling wood to smash the Liao shield soldiers, if the shield soldiers lose their shields, they will meet a few arrows, and the arrows are deadly!!
The Liao army was defeated and retreated!
Xiao Tzu Buye saw that the Jurchens were stubbornly defending, and the strong attack was bound to be unfavorable, and he didn't know how to make a decision for a while, Yelu Yanhui admonished: "Our army is coming from afar, the soldiers and horses are tired, and the strong attack at any cost is the next strategy, let's set up camp for the time being, and then discuss the plan to break the enemy." β
Xiao Tzu Buye sighed and looked at Ningjiang, Yelu Yanhui was right, as the so-called military book has clouds: if you attack the fortification, you will be defeated, and the enemy will gain the geographical advantage, so you cannot fight for the land. After that, he had no clue to take down Ningjiang now, so he adopted Yelu Yanhui's suggestion and camped on the spot.
Seeing the Liao army retreating, Ah Guda frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. Ordered Yilie to stay behind to defend the city, and returned to the camp with other generals to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy.
Yilie transferred 300 elite soldiers, and sent his troops to take turns to defend the city day and night, not daring to be careless at all, after the adjustment, Ziye led the army back to the barracks, and on the way was also a secret thought: The Liaozhong army is really extraordinary.
At the end of the next day, King Yelu Shi ordered the general to lead the army to scold the formation, but was repelled by the iron cavalry of the vanguard of Yilie, and returned to the camp in defeat.
Wu Qimai went to the city to watch the battle, and suddenly saw the faint Liao army camp in the distance, and was shocked! When Yilie repelled the provocative general, he heard Wu Qimai laughing loudly when he returned to the city tower!
Yi Lie was stunned, looked at him, and asked suspiciously, "Why is the fourth son laughing?" β
Wu Qimai stopped laughing, pointed to the Liao military camp in the distance, and chuckled: "It seems that Xiao Yingjie has no dog generals and no wise generals under the pioneer tent, Xiao Tart is not wild, this battalion is a big taboo for soldiers!" Wu Qimai then smiled and continued, "The general can send a hundred sergeants, change into night clothes, each holding a pair of torches, go out of the city when you are young, light a fire when you are ugly, and you can break the enemy when you are young!" β
Yilie was startled at first, and then seemed to understand something, and said with great joy: "Yes! So he left the tower and went to prepare.
After Wu Qimai saw Yi Lie leave, he looked at the Liao army camp in the distance, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his eyes seemed to be burning with raging fire.
As night fell, the battlefield that had been fought all day finally became quiet at that moment.
Liaozhong Pioneer Battalion, inside the commander's tent.
Xiao Tzu Buye was walking back and forth in the tent camp, his face was also full of anger, he walked for a moment and looked at Yelu Yanhui, and said angrily: "Who allowed you to report to the marshal?" Now that the war is in the hands of the marshal, how can we gain a foothold in Liaozhong! My Liaozhong vanguard army can't even defeat the little Jurchen, shame! Shame! β
Yelu Yanhui glanced at him, sighed helplessly, and comforted: "Let's not act rashly for now, wait to see how the marshal decides, a strong attack will definitely be unfavorable to our army." β
"You..."Xiao Tzu Buye was about to say something, but was persuaded by King Yelu Shi, "Forget it, forget it, it's too far, let's wait for Yingjie's envoy, and blame me for losing Ningjiang carelessly, I'm afraid that this Ningjiang City will be difficult to recapture." β
Xiao Tzu Buye frowned, turned around and looked at the Northeast battle situation map on the board behind the table and chair, and said lightly: "Since the Jurchens are stuck in Ningjiang, the strong attack will be defeated, and An Neng will be pinned down by them on this city, and tomorrow they will send troops to attack Wuling Pass!" As soon as the words fell, the two people in the tent trembled at the same time when they heard the words, and looked at his back with a surprised expression.
Xiao Tzu Buye turned around, looked at King Yelu Shi, and continued, "The Jurchens gathered in Ningjiang City with all their elite soldiers, and their Huining Mansion must be empty, if they can take the Wuling Pass, they can drive Huining Mansion for a long time, if the Jurchens send reinforcements, they can also send troops to capture Ningjiang City, and then encircle and annihilate the Jurchen reinforcements, if they don't take Ningjiang, I will want him to Huining, and if Ningning breaks Ningjiang, it is a lonely city, how can it not be broken?" At this point, he paused and walked in front of King Yelu Shi, and said lightly, "The general will go back to the camp to rest for the time being, and I hope that the general will help him tomorrow." β
King Yelu Shi glanced at him, didn't seem to think much about it, nodded and went back.
Yelu Yanhui frowned when he saw King Yelu Shi leaving, and said lightly: "Wuling Pass is the first key pass of Huining Mansion, how can the Jurchens not have heavy troops to guard it, and the terrain of that pass is dangerous, which is not good for the cavalry!" β
"That's why." Xiao Tzu smiled wildly, "If you capture Wuling Pass, you will send the infantry to go secretly, and the cavalry will stay in the camp for support, if the Jurchen sends reinforcements, the pace is slow and the cavalry is fast, if the cavalry arrives first, the terrain there will definitely be unfavorable to him, if the infantry goes to help, I am afraid that our army will have broken through the pass and occupy the right time and place, why be afraid of him?" β
Yelu Yanhui was silent, obviously still having some concerns.
Xiao Tzu Buye looked at him, and said: "When the time comes, the general must go with King Yelu Shi, although the Northeast Army is in decline, it is also a strong force that cannot be ignored, if it can be used by my Liaozhong, then..."
Xiao Tzu Buye said with a smile, "There will definitely be a fierce battle tomorrow, so let all the soldiers rest and rest tonight, in preparation for tomorrow's surprise attack on the Jurchens." β
The cold night is bleak and windless; The waning moon is half-hung and cloudless.
The Liao army camp was heavily guarded, and the brazier was burning in the camp, but it was silent. Looking at the Ningjiang City Tower, it seems to be exceptionally quiet tonight, there is no firelight, in the night light, I only see the black shadow surging on the city tower.
Just after the child, the already ready Yilie led 100 elite soldiers, these 100... Oh... No! To be exact, it should be 101 people, all of them are dressed in night clothes, covered with black silk scarves, with torches on their backs, tied with grass around their waists, holding short blades and a fire fold, and the guards on the tower of the Burning City gently put them down with ropes, and the movements are extremely light and slow... Everyone held their breath, and when the small army landed safely, they trotted straight to the Liao camp, hiding in the haystack, watching every move in the barracks.
If you want to steal into the inner camp, you must lure away the guards of the outer camp, but if you are found by the patrol iron cavalry, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable, if you do not enter the Liao camp, how can you get close to the main camp? There was nothing he could do for a while, and he was anxious and smacked the haystack at hand, making a "sizzle~sizzle~" sound...
"What people!" This action obviously alarmed the guards of the outer camp, and Yilie turned pale with fright.
Puff ~ puff ~
I saw a pure white falcon, the size of a magpie, soaring from the top of the haystack, soaring into the night sky like thunder and lightning!
"General Yilie, the sea... Hai Dongqing! β
The falcon was in mid-air, circling and dancing, alone and killing and swallowing the world, its power was as great as a thousand pounds striking stones, and its speed was as fast as lightning and thunder.
"Rathaβ" Yilie raised his head tremblingly, his eyes solemn. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty once wrote a poem praising Haidong Qingdao:
There are 60 out of 300 feather insects, and Shenjun is the most Haidongqing.
The sex is golden and spiritual, and the different materials are reflected in the Yaoguang star.
Xuan Ang looked left and right, and flicked the six feathers of frost.
The period of the door shoots the sheng is familiar with the adjustment, and the male flies and flickers the yellow silk bell.
Powerful as a thousand crossbow stones, as fast as the thunder of the nine wild whips.
The original grass withered and healed, and it suddenly rose above the top in one fell swoop.
Wanfu immediately paid attention, and there was no form left in the birds.
The use of minions can be wasted, like a warrior clearing the suburbs.
Drying eagles to build a platform to save the traces of victory, the good name is not the only standard bird classic.
"Ha, it's just a wild eagle, you see you're too worried."
Yilie looked at Hai Dongqing's distant figure, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, it was the Condor who saved them... After that, he didn't dare to act rashly, holding the grass, he was suddenly shocked! He was overjoyed and had a way.
Half an hour later, the patrol and the guards outside the gate changed shifts.
Yi Lie couldn't figure out why he had to wait an hour to attack the Liao camp from Ningjiang today, why he had to wait until he was ugly to do it, even if he thought about it, but Wu Qimai told him so, he had his reason, and Yi Lie only had to act according to the plan.
But Dao Yilie lay in ambush here, and when the ugly time passed, there was a gust of wind floating on Yilie's cheeks, and he didn't care about it before, and then he was stunned, and suddenly realized that he understood his meaning.
When the Liao camp guards saw the grass pile on fire, they shouted: "It's on fire, come and put out the fire!" As a result, Yi Lie had to get rid of the guards in front of the gate and infiltrate the Liao camp to avoid the patrols.
After the second watch, the night wind was great, take the fire of the Liao camp, light the torch, throw the tent of the camp, 100 elite soldiers set fire together, in an instant, the fire took advantage of the wind, the wind helped the fire, the red light rose, and the flames burned the sky!
Ningjiang City Tower saw the Liao camp fire suddenly, so he opened the city gate, and Wanyan Yan's mother and Wanyan Yinshu, who had already been ready for battle, led 2,000 iron cavalry to kill and run away.
The old fire in the haystack was not extinguished, and a new fire was added to the camp tent, and the Liao army was in chaos, rushing away, taking water to extinguish the fire, but it was too late.
The fire broke out, and the Liao camp was suddenly plunged into a sea of fire, and the soldiers who had been awakened from their sleep rushed out of their tents to meet the enemy, only to panic, and were decapitated by flashing blades, or pierced through their chests by random arrows.
The Liao army was defeated, trampled on each other, and countless people were burned to death in the flames.
Yi Lie stabbed a Liao soldier to death with a short blade, snatched the halberd in his hand, and also took a horse from the chaotic army, and rode straight to the main general's tent. The Jurchen iron cavalry was very fierce, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the world.
However, it was said that King Yelu Shi was awakened by the shouts of killing outside the camp, and he knew that the Jurchens were coming, so he didn't care about wearing armor, so he took the axe and went out of the camp. And Yilie rode his horse into the camp of the main general, wanting to find Xiao Tart, but he happened to bump into King Yelu Shi who came out of the camp, and he was overjoyed and rode his horse away. When King Yelu Shi saw that it was Yilie, he was shocked, and hurriedly left, found a war horse, and wanted to get on his horse to fight, but before he could get on the horse, he was stabbed to death by Yilie's halberd.
Xiao Hemu and Yelu Yaoye came out of the enemy army, and just happened to encounter the scene of Yilie assassinating King Yelu Shi, and went to fight on horseback. Yilie also fought the two generals, and the Jurchen iron cavalry had also entered the main general's camp.
Xiao Hemu and the two saw that the Jurchen reinforcements had arrived, they didn't dare to fight, they ran apart, Yilie chased Yelu Yaoye fiercely, the halberd stabbed him and stepped off the horse, the horse looked up to the sky and screamed, fell to the ground and died, Yelu Yaoye screamed, fell off the horse, Yilie caught up, resisted his throat, and captured Yelu Yaoye alive. The Liao army was defeated, the horses were not as good as the saddle, the people were not as good as the armor, and they fled in panic.
Xiao Tzu Buye broke out of the encirclement under the protection of the generals, but his clothes were torn and his shawl was messy, and he led his troops to escape back to Huanglong Mansion overnight.
I saw a pure white falcon gliding in the air, flying through the sea of fire like a phoenix in the sky, plump wings, vigorous and powerful, through the hazy smoke, majestic, giving the Jurchen army an irresistible force.
The Jurchens won a great victory in this battle, and when the battle reached the end of the battle, those who escaped from the encirclement all left, and those who did not get out of the encirclement all fought to the death, and none of them surrendered. The Jurchens then completely annihilated the vanguard army in Liaozhong, beheaded thousands of enemies, and captured ordnance, horses, and grain.
Yilie killed his northeastern general Yelu Shiwang, and captured Yelu Yaoye alive, and Ah Gu made his first contribution. Later generations have a poem that sighs:
The Jurchen moved to show their might, and they captured the flag and killed no one. Feng Bo suddenly came to the outside of the Ning River, and Zhu Rong flew to Liaoying Village.
