Chapter 238 The spy leaks secrets
Gao Shi declared that he died in battle, almost all of the five hundred cavalry were killed, and Xiao Gan only left three people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Gan did not kill Gao Shixuan's only three remaining guards, because the three guards put down their swords and guns, and reclaimed Gao Shixuan's head on the battlefield regardless of it, and wrapped Gao Shixuan's body head with cowhide. Gao Shixuan's body must be protected, this is the only thing that can be done as a trilogy.
The deceased is the greatest, and Xiao Gan is unwilling to leave a handle on this matter, which is criticized. In the case of the complete rout of the Song army, only Gao Shi declared war and died on the battlefield, and the honor and loyalty of this soldier cannot be tarnished. Even enemies should be amazed.
The three guards tied the cowhide wraps to their horses and headed south, and the five thousand Liao soldiers watched them leave, and none of them stopped them. These 500 southerners fought too tenaciously, with fewer enemies and more enemies, weak against strong, and they were in a desperate situation but did not hesitate.
Destroying these 500 southern troops, the Liao army also suffered nearly 300 casualties. There is not the slightest conspiracy and trickery, it is all a knife and a gun, and life for life. The habit of the grassland is like this, Ah Gu beat 7,000 Jurchens in the face of a million Liao troops, did not escape, and still killed them with a knife and a shot.
Although the three soldiers of the Southern Army walked away with Gao Shixuan's corpse, Xiao Ganzou frowned.
Yelu Manghai has not yet calmed down from his state of excitement, "Marshal, such a good opportunity, please pursue the Southern Army as soon as possible, take Yizhou, Baozhou, Xiongzhou, and Zhending, so as to prevent future troubles!" ”
Xiao Gan asked coldly, "How many soldiers and horses do you have?" ”
"More than 680 people" Yelu Manghai was a little ashamed, before the war, a thousand fine cavalry, actually lost more than 300, although more than 100 were killed and wounded by the arrows of the Southern Army, but in the process of covering up, more than 100 casualties seemed to be a high proportion.
Xiao Buye also had 1,500 people, and now there are more than 1,200 people, and the casualties in the real pursuit process are less than 100. According to the conversion, Yelu Manghai's casualty rate was three times that of Xiao Buye.
"If you play like this and lose all the clansmen, what will you do to fight the Jurchens in the future! Yizhou is defending with a winning streak, and Lin Ya only has a draw with them, are you even more powerful than Lin Ya? Xiao Gan is unceremonious, this kind of fierce general who is prone to hot heads has to be beaten from time to time.
Yelu Manghai was too damaged by his own family, and he didn't dare to resist Xiao Gan's reprimand, so he had to say, "Marshal, I am thinking, how many people in this southern army can be as brave and good at fighting as Gao Shixuan?" If we don't take the opportunity to exterminate such southern armies, we will end up in disaster."
Xiao Bu also thought that what he said was reasonable, so he said, "Marshal, what Haizi said is reasonable, his subordinates are willing to take their headquarters to break through the southern army, capture Yizhou, and sweep away Zhenbaoxiong." In this way, the southern line can be guaranteed for two years without worry. ”
Yelu Manghai glared at him and exclaimed, "How can this be done?" There's always a first-come-first-served one. The damage of my subordinates is greater, but the military merits of my subordinates are also the greatest. ”
Xiao Gan has a headache, according to the rules of the Liao army, whoever asks for his life first is most likely who will fight. If the commander fails to do so, it is either a need for a stratagem, or the person simply cannot be trusted.
If Xiao Bu is also allowed to fight Yizhou, it is tantamount to beating Manghai's face in public, and this kind of humiliation might as well kill him. Xiao Gan could not bear the phenomenon of Khitan division and centrifugation of the generals.
"You only have 600 men, how can you take the city?!" I can only hope that he will retreat from the difficulties.
Yelu Manghai hurriedly said, "There are only more than 1,000 people in the southern army of Yizhou, and the two city gates have to be defended, as well as Shijiabao, with a maximum of three or four hundred people in each place. The subordinates attacked Shijiabao first and lured the southern army out of the city to fight a decisive battle with us, and they would definitely succeed in one fell swoop. Marshal, if you can't take Yizhou, I'm willing to lead the army! ”
In fact, he still didn't care too much about the winning army in his heart, after all, as the famous commander of the Western Army, Liu Yanqing, who had an army of 100,000, and Gao Shixuan, who was brave and good at fighting, was nothing more than that. Could it be that a nameless hairy boy can have so much ability, I just don't believe that he is so magical!
This bastard is completely forced to die! Xiao Gan was choked by Yelu Manghai.
But why is there such a worry?
It's the winning streak, this army that has created all kinds of magic, it's too incredible. After so many battles, there is no defeat, is it blessed by gods and Buddhas?
Han Wang, who is said to be the Southern Dynasty who escaped from Yanjing, secretly checked the Dingkou records in Yanjing and the surrounding areas with Dashi, and there was no such person at all. The three batches of fine works sent to Zhending have all disappeared, and they have been fed to the dogs without asking.
What Xiao Gan couldn't understand in particular was that Yelu Dashi would actually hand over Merrill Lynch to Han Wang to take care of in the end, and Han Wang accepted it without distraction, could it be said that the trust between them had reached such a point?
However, Yizhou belongs to the Liao State, so naturally it will be taken back, Yelu Manghai should not be confused again, and defeat the army of Gao Shixuan and Han Wang, and the Southern Dynasty is afraid that there will be no decent army.
"Yelu Manghai is the vanguard, and it is not wrong to capture Yizhou and Shijiabao."
"Xiao Bu also attacked Yang Keshi's department in Baozhou, and after cutting off the retreat of the southern army, he must annihilate it completely."
Yelu Manghai immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "I must live up to the marshal's trust and take Han Shizhong's head back to give an account."
Xiao Gan helped him up, "Don't use any false courtesy, you must be bold and careful in fighting with the southern army, deal with it calmly, so-and-so is in your rear, just go" Before leaving, Xiao Gan still made up 300 people to Yelu Manghai, so he managed to get together 1,000 men
Yelu Manghai took this thousand fierce gods and evil spirits to the south quickly, and encountered the rout soldiers along the way and directly slashed and killed, and killed to the periphery of Yizhou in one day's effort.
Xiao Bu also traveled lightly, he had to run farther than Yelu Manghai. Once cut into the middle of Yizhou and Baozhou, it will become the key to the battlefield.
If the battle goes smoothly and annihilates the elite of the Southern Dynasties, it can deter the Song people and the opposition. If there is a change in this trip, it will be attacked by Baozhou and Yizhou from both sides, and his 1,500 cavalry may not be able to consume the Song army, especially Yang Keshi, who is a famous fierce general in the Song Dynasty and the only heavy cavalry of the Western Army.
Xiao Gan didn't have the slightest doubt about Yizhou, because the person kneeling under the tent now had already revealed all the internal city defenses of Yizhou. Yizhou has only 1,000 people, but it is well-equipped and has high morale, and if it breaks through head-on, 3,000 people may not be able to take it.
The southern army must be solved as soon as possible, and Xiao Gan is concerned about the Jurchens outside the Gubei Pass. Therefore, Xiao Gan followed behind Yelu Manghai with 2,000 people, and if he wanted to help, at least let Yelu Manghai fight by himself.
It didn't take much effort for Yelu Manghai to capture Shijia Fort, and the guards in the fort were local Han Chinese. Seeing that the Song army was completely defeated, the Khitans killed it again, weighed the pros and cons, and immediately opened the door and surrendered.
Yelu Manghai's mood began to be full, Shijiabao was deep and high, and the city defense was no worse than Yizhou, and the effort of a cup of tea was reduced. This southerner is greedy for life and afraid of death, as long as he dares to fight, Yizhou will naturally be caught.
Non-stop to fight at the north gate of Yizhou. The north gate was defended by Xiongda, and due to the pressure of the Khitan army, Han Shizhong should let go for a day and a night according to Han Wang's instructions, try to kill and injure the enemy army, make it unable to pursue, and then calmly evacuate.
Han Shizhong pointed to Yelu Manghai's army and said, "These thousand Khitans are coming to fight us in Yizhou, old bear, can you withstand it?" (To be continued.) )
