Gubeikou, on the beacon tower of the Liao army, the scorching sun is on the head. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xiao Gan, the king of the North Courtyard with his armor on his head, still stopped to look north despite the rain of sweat, and did not move lightly. The news reported by the spies was very clear, the Jurchens had at least 5,000 troops and horses stationed in Zhongjing, and the leader was Wanyan Zongwang, the second son of Aguta.

The Jurchen sentinels who often haunt the opposite mountain range are Wanyan Zongwang's subordinates, and according to the frequency of reconnaissance, it is estimated that it will not take long to launch an attack. As for Zong Wang's ability to hit Gubeikou so quickly, Xiao Gan's old partner Yelu Yu has contributed a lot.

Xiao Fengxian designed to frame Yelu Yujian for colluding with the King of Jin and usurping power because of the dispute between King Qin and King Jin. Emperor Tianzuo was so stupid that he ordered the killing of Yelu Yujian's entire family without distinguishing, and hunted down Yelu Yujian, who was still leading the troops in the army.

Yelu Yu has always had great talent and strategy in the Khitan clan, and when he complained about the rebellion, his vision was accurate, and even Xiao Gan was ashamed of himself. In desperation, he angrily took refuge in the Jurchens, and personally served as a pioneer, fighting from east to west to Datong.

Wanyan Zongwang was stationed in Zhongjing, eyeing the south, and in order to use troops to the south as soon as possible, he was specially transferred to his command to plan how to attack Nanjing Road, the most prosperous province in Liao. During this time, Zongwang and Yelu Yujian often visited the front line, and today they came to Gubeikou to inspect the terrain.

After looking at it for a while, Zong Wang pointed to the beacon tower at Gubeikou and asked, "Xiao Gan is worthy of being one of the two masters, and the defense is quite orderly."

Yelu Yu saw the last one on the right side of Zongwang and said, "The pass is dead, the army is alive, and no matter how well defended the fortress is, it is useless if it is not attacked."

Wanyan Zongwang pointed to the continuous mountains and said, "Such a mountainous area, I'm afraid I can't get around."

Yelu Yu explained, "The standing army of Gubeikou is only 50, and the maximum can accommodate 200 sergeants, and it is enough to leave 100 people to watch. After the Gubei Pass, two hundred miles down is Danzhou, and taking Danzhou can be expected to Yanjing, and the rest are not to worry."

Wanyan Zongwang smiled, "Don't worry, you can fight this battle, right now it is a big matter for Xijing to hunt down Emperor Tianzuo, and the people and horses and materials are closely dispatched by them, and it will take two months before they can raise all the preparations to go south."

Looking at Yelu Yu's stunned appearance, he rolled his eyes and said, "If Yu Dugu is not afraid of Xiao Gan's 100,000 army, take advantage of this time, you can also arrange a few Mouke to go to the south to detect the enemy's situation, and then you can accompany your own people." How is it? ”

Yelu Yu saw that he had fled from the army urgently, and only brought hundreds of his own personal guards. Later, in Zhongjing and Xijing, the Liao State surrendered troops one after another, and now there are nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom are fine horses with one person and two horses.

Yelu Yu made a calculation, if Zong Wang could give himself five Mouke, plus his own 3,000 people, he could completely deal with the Liao army of less than 20,000.

Although Xiao Gan said that there were 100,000 troops, at best, there were 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers and horses, plus two key passes, Gubei and Songting, each of which had only 30,000 or 40,000 troops. Totally there is a hit! After all, the Liao army has been frightened by the myth of the Jurchens, and one dozen and ten is the least.

At present, the Liao army is mainly defensive, and it can give full play to the speed advantage of its own cavalry, interspersed everywhere, fight if you win, and leave if you can't win!

I heard that the Southern Dynasty was also actively attacking Yanjing, and if they were the first to take the lead, they would not be able to kill Xiao Fengxian and take revenge. At the moment, he said, "Zongwang, borrow five of my strengths, and I will take Yanjing City to repay you!" ”

Wanyan Zongwang laughed, "The Liao army is already at the end of the crossbow, so I'm not worried, but I don't know what the generals of the Southern Dynasty look like?" ”

Yelu Yu immediately boasted that "the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty are more unbearable than the Liao army, and I dare not say that one dozen or ten, but one dozen and five is certain." ”

Wanyan Zongwang's eyes lit up, "Is that really the case?" ”

Yelu Yu saw how the morale of the border army of the Song State was low, how the art of war led to the bad of the generals who did not know the soldiers and did not know the generals, as well as the atmosphere of the noble and the lowly of the military, and the most terrible thing was that the literati were in power and issued orders indiscriminately, so that the Song army was generally passive and war-weary.

Wanyan Zongwang clasped his palms together and said, "Go back, discuss and discuss, and I will prepare five for you." When you take Yanjing, I will come with a large army to see how the flowers and rivers in the south are. Then he turned his horse's head and galloped away.

Yelu Yu looked at the beacon tower at Gubeikou and secretly swore "Xiao Fengxian, you wait for me!" ”

Xiao Gan first judged that if the Jurchens went south, Gubeikou would be the first choice, and Gubei would only take two days to get to Yanjing. Therefore, Gubei placed a maximum of 200 people, 30,000 in Danzhou, 10,000 in Jizhou and Shunzhou, and 35,000 in Jingzhou, Pingzhou, and Luanzhou respectively.

Such an arrangement is to take Danzhou as the core, and Shunzhou and Jizhou are each other's horns. If the Jurchens come to attack, it will be difficult to defeat Danzhou with 5,000 cavalry, so that the Jurchens can be dragged until winter, and when the supply is difficult, they will naturally withdraw.

I faintly heard the news, saying that Yelu Yujian had arrived in Zhongjing, could it be that Zong Wang specially asked him to break the defense line of Danzhou? If this is the case, I really want to see who is more powerful between this Khitan hero and himself, one of the two masters.

Every five days, Xiao Gan must patrol around, and Gubeikou, the northernmost point, is no exception, so the morale of the Liao army can barely hold on. Today, I mainly met nearly 100 Jurchen sentinels, and it seems that the big man has arrived.

Xiao Gan wanted to go to the surprise attack to see what was going on, but considering that the Liao soldiers were flustered when they saw the Jurchens, they didn't sneak attack and were arrested, so the joke was big, so it was safe to stick to the beacon.

Back in Danzhou, Xiao Gan immediately ordered the whole army to step up training, and at the same time clear the field outside the city, cut down all the tall trees and transport them back to the city, and add 30% of all kinds of city defense equipment. In addition, they also hoarded food on a large scale, recruited soldiers, recruited volunteers of all ethnic groups, and sent more detailed personnel to spy on the enemy.

On the map, Xiao Gan was staring at the three points and one line of Gubei, Danzhou, and Yanjing, and how to find a way to annihilate Zongwang's five thousand cavalry was a difficult goal. However, Xiao Gan decided to let Zong Wang go first, and mainly concentrated on attacking his vanguard.

According to the Jurchen habits, the vanguard generally has three or two moks and more than a thousand auxiliary troops. Most of the auxiliary troops were subordinate tribal soldiers such as Bohai, Liaodong, and Mobei, and in addition to their own horses, the remaining weapons and equipment were second-rate under the replacement of the Jurchens.

Due to the savagery of the tribal army from the state of semi-savages, it has no strategy and tactics at all, and only knows to follow the Jurchens and act according to orders. Under the high pressure of the Jurchens, they served as vanguard cannon fodder, of course, if they fought a good battle, the tribal army could still pick up some loot, and generally speaking, half of it would be fine.

Concentrate 20,000 troops to defeat this vanguard first, and it is best to completely annihilate it in one battle. In this way, it may provoke Yan Zongwang and attract Allah to attack Danzhou, thus avoiding a decisive battle in the field.

Once these 5,000 Jurchens fall into a siege battle, they can use the city defense to kill and injure a large number of opponents' troops. At the same time, it can also calmly mobilize heavy troops to encircle and solve Yan Zongwang in one fell swoop, so that there will be no major war in Gubeikou within half a year.

But no matter how perfect Xiao Gan thought, not long after returning to Danzhou, Xiao Gan had to return to Yanjing with his troops. Yanjing's two urgent reports arrived almost at the same time, and Emperor Tianci died. Guo Yaoshi rebelled and joined forces with Wang Yuan to attack the imperial city of Yanjing. (To be continued.) )
