Chapter Eighty-One: Arrows from the Valley
The northeastern region of the Liao Dynasty has always been inhabited by a powerful nomadic people, who are good at riding and bowing and arrows, which is the Jurchen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Jurchen tribe is mainly active in the northeast of the Songnen Plain and the Changbai Mountains, and has been exploited and oppressed by the Liao court for a long time, but they did not resist, because the Jurchen tribe branched into many tribes, and the various tribes did not contact each other, did not support each other, and were loosely distributed on the Northeast Plain, fearing the weak and weak, and obscure, until the Jurchen civil strife!
After the Jurchen civil strife subsided, the Jurchen gradually formed a unified tribal alliance centered on the Wanyan family.
In this civil strife, the strength of the Wanyan family has increased greatly, not only a group of brave generals have emerged, but also a group of outstanding political leaders have been born, and Wanyan Aguta is one of them.
After Wanyan Aguda, Han Mingmin, and his brother Wanyan Wuyashu were killed in the civil strife, he led the Wanyan Department to complete the great task of unifying the Jurchens, and then inherited Du Bo Jilie, contacted the various ministries to fight in the east and west, and began to rectify the soldiers and horses, cultivate equipment, and determined to get rid of the rule of the Liao Dynasty.
At the beginning of 1114 A.D., the Jurchen people rose up, led many ethnic groups that hated the Khitan, launched an attack on Liao, and went all the way south, and the troops were directed at Ningjiang Prefecture.
In September, the autumn wind blew off the butterfly leaves that had already withered and yellowed, and the obscene rain continued to blur the vision that had already been confused.
Inside the tent of the Jurchen military camp.
Everywhere there were braziers erected high on wooden frames, shining on the whole barracks as bright as day, and the light rain was not enough to extinguish the fire in this basin, and the night breeze was light, and the burning wood in the brazier was burned to the point of "crackling". The barracks were heavily guarded, and the Jurchen patrol iron cavalry shuttled through the tents.
Inside the manager's tent. The chiefs of the tribes were still discussing something, when suddenly the curtain of the door was lifted by the guards, and a man entered, dressed in plain collars, with a soap-horned scarf on his head, and a spitting belt around his waist.
The appearance of this man brought the discussion in the tent to an abrupt end, and the leaders of the various tribes focused on him, and the man entered the tent without stopping, and walked straight to Akuta.
"Second brother." As he spoke, the man took out a piece of information from the placket on his chest and handed it to him, "According to the report from the spies, Xiao Yingjie, the deputy marshal of the Liao State Army, has led the Heavenly Cavalry and 50,000 elites of Liaozhong to the north to reinforce the army. "The man is Wu Qimai. Wanyan Wu begged to buy, Han Mingsheng, is the fourth brother of Aguta, who has been brave and resourceful since he was a child, and is even loved by Aguta. In order to protect his sister-in-law, he killed a wild bear in the mountains with his bare hands, which shocked the Jurchen. Since the time of civil strife, he has always followed his brother, killing the enemy and capturing the flag, sitting in the camp and guarding the village, and can do anything.
As soon as Wu Qimai's voice fell, there was a sound of surprise in the tent. Although the leaders present have never seen Xiao Yingjie and his person, no one knows how to deal with his bravery, the fierceness of the heavenly cavalry, and the army of tigers and wolves in Liaozhong.
For a while, the discussion started again...... Aguta looked at him and didn't speak, just wanted to make sure the accuracy of the information.
Wu Qimai glanced at him, didn't know what to say, and nodded gently.
Ah Guda's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, the muscles on his cheeks twitched slightly, his expression was cold, as if he was a little pensive, and then stood up from the handsome chair, looked at the leaders of the left and right departments and said lightly: "Xiao Yingjie's bravery, I think everyone here knows it, if the generals of the various departments meet him, they must not face the enemy directly." Now the 50,000 elite soldiers in Liaozhong are already moving north, and there is also Xiao Yingjie and his entourage of heavenly cavalry to help, and if they don't take Ningjiang quickly, they will be defeated. ”
"Second brother, that's right." Wu Qimai also turned to look at the leaders of the various departments, took the words of Ah Guta, and continued, "The heavenly cavalry is coming, and the morale of the Liao army will definitely increase greatly, but there is no need to panic, the distance from Dading to Huanglong is very far, even if the heavenly cavalry has a divine speed, it will take ten days, and now Xiao Yingjie has just left Zhongjing, and he will definitely take Ningjiang before he enters Huanglong." ”
Wu begged to buy this is very reasonable, and the leaders of the various departments naturally have no objections, and Ah Gu agreed.
In the autumn of the fourth year of Liao Tianqing, Wanyan Agu ordered the leaders of all departments to hold the key points, and ordered Wanyan Yan's mother, Wanyan Lou as the commander, and sent Yilie as the vanguard, leading 3,000 elite soldiers to seize Ningjiang Prefecture.
The next day, accompanied by the hazy autumn rain, the soldiers gathered at the point of shifting, raised the totem, and marched towards the Liao realm.
After traveling for several miles, I suddenly heard that the spies came to report that Liaohai Prefecture Assassin Shi Gao Xianshou commanded the Bohai Disciple Army to aid Ningjiang, and his subordinate Xiao led Yelu Xie Shi to lead 10,000 Bohai vanguard troops out of Yuzhou, wanting to block the Jurchens from Qingshan.
Yi Lie got this information, so he discussed with the second marshal, so he decided to suspect the troops in the Qingshan Infantry Brigade, contain the Bohai Pioneer Army, cover the entry of his main force from the city of Boduna, and all the troops were on duty, and Yi Lie led the army to the east of the city to set up a ditch in the water and Jiajin ditch, and then entered the Liao territory.
The Liao army scouts sent information, and Yelu Xie knew the plan, and he was furious, and personally led the army to Jiajingou.
The three Jurchen generals led the army across the river valley, and the terrain here was dangerous, with many high mountains and dense forests that were easy to hide ambushes, and many ravines and weeds, which could contain the enemy cavalry. Then he consulted with Yi Lie and Yan Mu: "The enemy is outnumbered, and the strong attack will inevitably fail." This valley is a treasure land for ambushes, and it is necessary to break the Liao army with wisdom. ”
Yi Lie was stunned for a moment, and Wan Yan Lou Room and his Tao were the same. Yi Lie was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded in response, and led nine hundred lightly armed cavalry to advance quickly.
After Yan Lou saw that Yilie left, he said to the mother on the side: "The Great Khan once said that Yelu Xie Shi has a brutal temperament, although he has the courage of ten thousand people, but he is like the wisdom of a weak child. After that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then lined up their troops, just waiting for the big fish that fell from the spirit.
It is said that Yilie led the army to cross the Yihe Valley, and after ten miles, he met the Bohai Pioneer Army under the command of Yelu Xie Shi, and the two armies were opposite.
Yelu Xie looked at the Jurchen army in ten ways, and no matter how well they were trained, there were only nearly a thousand people, extremely disdainful, looked at Yilie arrogantly, and mocked: "The Jurchen thieves lead such remnants of the army to invade the city of my Heavenly Empire, how can they deceive me Daliao without a pawn?" A group of ants don't know how to measure their strength, why don't they come down early, and spare your life. Yelu Xie Shi waved the big axe in his hand, and stepped off his horse with the intention of stepping forward to fight the enemy.
Yi Lie looked up to the sky and laughed: "You sit on your own, and you don't know the suffering of the people; If we do the way for heaven, how can we abandon the light and turn to the dark? ”
Yelu Xie Shi was about to answer, and the deputy general next to him, Yelu Qi, said angrily: "Don't be arrogant under the name, wait for me to take your head!" The sound fell, and he rode away with two axes.
Yilie just snorted coldly, and fought with a gun, the two horses greeted each other, and the fight was numbered, and Yilie became more and more fierce, and Yeluqi gradually passively took the move, and there were twenty battles, Yilie found a loophole in his axe, stabbed his spear, hit the chest, and fell off the horse.
Yelu Xie was shocked, the war horse under his crotch roared, raised his front hooves, and saw that he was about to step forward, and the deputy general Xiao Gu Damu on the side said angrily: "The thief killed my general, and he will not spare you!" Then he waved his knife and went. Yilie stared for a moment, clenched the silver spear in his hand, and rode into battle. Xiao Gu Damu fought bravely because of his anger, and the two war horses roared and roared in front of the battle.
The autumn rain faded away, and the sunlight broke through the thick clouds and shone on the Jurchen army, just swords and swords, and guns were everywhere.
Xiao Gudamu slashed with a knife, moved the fierce and hurried, glared angrily, and waved his gun to get out of the battle, and stepped forward to stab, Xiao Gudamu flashed. It's been thirty rounds, and his sword skills haven't shown any flaws, and he is getting braver and braver the more he fights.
Yilie rushed to the center to make a plan, Xiao Gudamu swung the knife again, Yilie dodged with a spear, and turned the horse back.
"The thief will leave!" Xiao Gu Damu scolded angrily and chased after him.
The corners of Yilie's mouth raised slightly, the horse took a few steps, suddenly reined, and reflexively stabbed at great speed. But he said that Xiao Gudamu was chasing after him quickly, but he didn't expect Yilie to come to this move, and he was caught off guard in a panic......
The spear stabbed him in the chest......
"Bell!" I only heard a screeching sound......
The two soldiers intersected, and the shock made Yi Lie's hand a little painful, and he was surprised when he saw that it was Yelu Xie Shi. If it weren't for him, Xiao Gudamu would have become the ghost under the horse.
Yilie did not dare to fight the second general, and drove his horse back. The scene just now was so shocking that Xiao Gu Damu was a little afraid, so he didn't dare to chase it again.
Yelu Xie Shiding would not let him go, and he patted the horse and left. stepped forward and cut it directly with an axe, Yilie dodged sharply, dodged it, it was so thrilling, he exhaled a long breath, but he couldn't let him think about it, Yelu Xie ten fierce axes cut down again, Yilie shouted, the spear was strong, and he couldn't fight Wuhe, he was physically exhausted.
Yerushe's strength was infinite, and every swing of his axe almost knocked him off his horse! Yilie knew that he was not Yelu Xie Shi's opponent, so he didn't dare to fight again, so he reflexively stabbed a shot, took the road and left, and the Jurchen retreated.
When Jeriches saw that he had seized the road with a false spear, and killed one of his own generals, Anken let him go, and he relied on the strength of his army to chase after him.
Yilie led the Liao army to the Yihe Valley, and said that Yelu Xie Shi chased forward with an axe, Yilie flashed, reflexively stabbed again, Yelu Xie Shi also flashed, and it was a false gun!
Yelu Xie was angry, shouted, patted the horse and chased. Fang passed through the center of the valley, and suddenly a sound of gold sounded, and the sound of cannons on all sides also sounded, and Wanyan Yanmu and Wanyan Lou led the army to kill. Shifting the spirits were overjoyed, pulling the reins of the horse, and the army turned around and went back to kill.
Yelu Xie Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had hit the enemy's plan again, but it was too late. The Jurchen army attacked quickly, the Bohai navy was in chaos, although it was several times the enemy, but the army was unstable and could not fight again, scattered and fled, the three-way army attacked the Bohai pioneer, the Jurchen three will take the life of the deputy general with a quick knife, and then raise the whip, and kill Yelu Xie ten together. Yelu Xie was furious when he heard this, and he swung his axe to fight the three generals!
Seeing that the commander was so brave and morale-boosting, the Bohai Navy had no hope of escaping, so it also fought a desperate duel with the Jurchen army.
Due to the melee between the armies of the two sides, the Jurchen's superior bow and arrow could not be used, and the war fell into a stalemate for a while, and the initiative gradually shifted to the Bohai Sea, and the situation was imminent. The three generals surrounded Yelu Xie 10 and attacked in a "D" shape, but they couldn't take his life, and there was no way at all.
At this time, on the high ground of the Yihe Valley, Ah Guta and Wu Qimai unified thousands of elite soldiers under the protection of Wanyan Zongxiong and Wanyan Yinshuke to watch the battle. I saw that Yelu Xie in the 10,000-strong army was fighting three generals, and the momentum was soaring, and the war situation was in danger.
Ah Guta calmly looked at the soldiers fighting on both sides, and the three people around him all wanted to lead troops to reinforce the army, but the Great Khan had no order, and they could not mobilize the army without authorization. They all looked at Ah Guta, a little anxious, and suddenly heard Ah Guda smile coldly, took off his bow and arrow, and aimed at Yelu Xie Shi, who was two or three hundred steps away, and the faces of the generals around him all changed from anxious to surprised in an instant!
The bow opens like the autumn moon in the sky, and the arrow goes like a meteor landing!
But hearing the soft sound of strings in his ears, a slight strong air flow passed through Wu Qimai's hair, time froze, and the arrow from the string slowly passed through his dull gaze and rushed away at great speed!
Let's say that Yelu Xie Shi resisted the three generals taking turns to attack, and suddenly felt a powerful murderous aura coming towards him, and looked back in horror, only to see the sharp arrow reflecting the brilliance, the sound was piercing, dazzling, and suddenly his face changed in shock, his pupils dilated, and he only heard a miserable scream, which was piercing his throat, and blood was splashing! As soon as the horse raised its hooves and roared into the sky, Yelu Sheten fell from his horse and died, and it was evident from the look of astonishment on his face that he was a little dumbfounded.
I am afraid that it was not only Yelu Xie Shi, who had become a dead soul, but also the three Jurchen generals, and the three of them looked in horror at the source of the archery.
The light of the morning sun shone on the four people in the heights, and even more dazzling was Wanyan Aguda's indifferent expression and the bow and arrow in his hand. Is this an oath or something? Swear that an empire is quietly brewing! is really worthy of the Jin Taizu who is admired by all generations. Later generations have poems to praise:
Taizu God shoots rare in the world, and the arrow takes the enemy's throat and falls into the flying star. Move the river to chase the sun and humiliate the Marquis, and win by the base of three hundred openings. When the string rings and the arrow rises, the eagle flies over the ground and falls. Liao will not blink an eye to death, and the Bohai soldiers will break their courage!
