The Jin army attacked Liaoxi from the north and west at the same time, but he didn't expect Pu to break up as soon as he came into contact with the Xianbei people, and he couldn't stop the Jin army's troops at all, and finally could only trap the two cities of Lingzhi and Haiyang to resist the attack of the Jin army.

Just as Duan Mobo, who was sitting in Yangle, was busy dispatching troops to support all parties, he saw Duan Ya hurriedly breaking in from outside, and shouted at him: "Da Danyu, it's not good, Duan Caidu sent someone to summon the news, the Jin army's attack in Lingzhi was very fierce, and he was almost unable to resist it." ”

"What? How so? Duan Mobo was shocked, couldn't the tens of thousands of troops stop the Jin army?

"Da Danyu, you also know that since the battle of Jicheng, my Duan clan has lost the courage to resist the Liaodong Army head-on, and as soon as the two sides fought in the field battle, our army was defeated and fled. Duan Caidu had no choice but to rely on Lingzhi to hold on and wait for help, but our Xianbei people are not good at defending the city at all. Duan Ya explained.

"Damn! Was Duan Qidu's brain kicked by a donkey? He gave up his skill in cavalry! Immediately let someone go to warn Duan Caidu, let him stop defending the city, he must go out of the city to fight! Duan Mobo yelled with some annoyance.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Duan Mobo's words fell, another herald walked in and handed a battle report to Duan Ya, and after Duan Ya read it, his face suddenly changed greatly.

"What's wrong again?" Duan Mobo asked with a frown.

"Da Danyu, the Jin army raided Linyu Town, cutting off the connection between Changli and Liaoxi, and the Duan clan has been completely surrounded by the Jin army in Liaoxi!"

The battle report in Duan Ya's hand fell to the ground, and his face was like earth.

"What? Lingzhi and Haiyang are still in my hands, how can the Jin army raid Linyu Town in the rear? ”

Duan Mobo did not believe that Linyu Town was the throat of Liaoxi to Changli, and once it was occupied by the Jin army, the Duan clan would be completely passive. Moreover, the entire Duan Xianbei may be completely annihilated by the Jin army in the land of western Liaoning. How not to let Duan Mobo panic and anger.

"On the sea, Da Danyu, the Jin army is raided from the sea!"

"It's over, it's over, Liaoxi can't hold it!"

Duan Mobo's face turned pale and he collapsed on the chair. He knew that Duan's life was dead.

……

At the critical moment of the Eastern Front Campaign, the Jin Army on the Western Front was driving the Xianbei people of Western Liaoxi into a game. According to the deployment of the Military Division, the Jin army on the western front, after eliminating the Xianbei in Liaoxi, will go north to the Great Thorn City and capture the lair of the Murong tribe.

Commanded Shao Yuniang to march 50,000 cavalry coalition troops, and the troops were divided into two routes, starting from Xu Wucheng and Tuyin respectively, and entered the territory of western Liaoning, dividing and surrounding the Xianbei people in the two cities of Lingzhi and Haiyang.

First Battle. Shao Yuniang commanded the 30,000 infantry and cavalry coalition forces of the Jin army to defeat 10,000 Xianbei cavalry in Lingzhixi, killing more than 5,000 people, capturing 2,000 people, and less than 20% of those who escaped.

After this battle, the Xianbei people no longer dared to go out of the city to fight with the Jin army, and Duan Caidu led the last 10,000 people to retreat in Lingzhi to wait for help. The Jin army was dominated by 20,000 infantry, and with the assistance of 9,000 cavalry, surrounded the Duan cavalry superintendent's regiment in the city of Lingzhi.

Lingzhi served as a station before the end of the wave. Not only were the walls built very tall, but there was also a lot of grain, grass and ordnance stored in the city. But even so. The Xianbei defender Duan Caidu still did not have the confidence to block the Jin army's attack.

On the eve of the siege, Shao Yuniang, as the chief general of the Western Route Army, convened a military meeting to assign the siege task.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Liaoxi County has been the inherent territory of my Great Jin Dynasty since ancient times, and since the Yongjia Rebellion. The empire collapsed, and the Duan clan took the opportunity to forcibly occupy my Liaoxi and enslave our people. The 140,000-strong army of the general Wei of Zhenbei fought a bloody battle with the Xianbei people, precisely to regain the lost land in one fell swoop. ”

"Before setting out on the expedition, General Wei specially instructed me to the Western Route Army. We are asked to defeat the Xianbei of Liaoxi as soon as possible, kill and wound the enemy as much as possible, return to them a hundred times the pain that the Xianbei people once inflicted on us, and completely restore the glory of the Chinese nation. ”

"Please rest assured, your subordinates will live up to your lord's expectations!"

"Excellent! Next, the record will join the army to assign specific combat missions! ”

"Next, the specific combat tasks are arranged below: in order to take the order branch as soon as possible, when attacking the city, the crossbowmen will first launch it, and after the bombardment of the large bed crossbows, the infantry will serve as the main attack under the cover of the longbowmen; The cavalry units served as reserves and were responsible for covering the rear and flanks of the army, while the cavalry was also responsible for intercepting enemy escapes. Once it is discovered that a Xianbei person has broken through, the other party must be eliminated immediately. ”

Early the next morning, Shao Yuniang, the commander of the Western Route Army, gave an order to attack. As long as the Lingzhi was successfully captured, the Jin army could threaten Yangle from the northwest, and then surround the Duan clan in the Yangle area.

"Pass my general order and let him attack immediately, and be sure to take the order before sunset!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Jin army, who had already jumped into the ranks, immediately jumped out of the position, picked up their knives and guns and rushed to the head of the Lingzhi city along the ladder, and the Xianbei people who were responsible for defending the city could not stop the fierce impact of the Jin army at all.

"The Jin people are attacking, get up for me, shoot arrows, shoot arrows quickly!"

"Rush! Kill! Kill all the Hu people! ”

"General, something is wrong, the Jin army has surrounded Lingzhi! A fierce attack was being launched against Lingzhi, and our army suffered heavy losses and was about to be unable to hold on. ”

A Xianbei centurion stumbled in and shouted at Duan Caidu, it was really the Jin army's offensive that was too fierce, and the momentum of never giving up until the goal was achieved was really bad for this Xianbei nobleman.

Duan Qidu looked at the other party there with an expressionless face, without saying anything. With the entry of the Jin army in a big way, more and more Xianbei people became panicked, for fear of retaliation by the Jin people.

The combat effectiveness of the Jin army was beyond the expectations of the Xianbei people, and they originally thought that they could block the attack of the Jin people with tens of thousands of cavalry, but everything that happened in front of them told Duan Caidu that this was just wishful thinking on the part of the Xianbei people. Thinking about the ruthless Wei Shuo again, Duan Caidu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, if he couldn't block the attack of the Jin people this time, what was waiting for him would definitely be the death of the clan.

"Come on, tell the generals that no matter what the cost, you must keep the order!"

In the face of the Jin army's offensive, Duan Caidu had no choice but to hold on and wait for reinforcements, hoping that Duan Mobo could send reinforcements as soon as possible.

On the battlefield of the Western Front, the Jin army's attack on Lingzhi officially began, and at the beginning of the crossbowmen first carried out a devastating blow to the Xianbei people, until they were bombarded by various ballistas and boulders for more than half an hour, the stones the size of the grinding disc continued to smash on the city wall, making a huge noise, and each time the unlucky Xianbei people would be smashed into pulp.

With the crossbowmen wielding their might, there were no Xianbei people standing on the top of the city. At this time, the Jin infantry attacked under the cover of longbowmen.

It's true that the Xianbei people are natural riders, but they can't be used to defend the city. It didn't take much effort for the Jin army to break through the city. As soon as the Jin army broke into the city, Duan Caidu knew that the general trend had gone, and he did not have the courage to commit suicide and martyr the city, so he took the remnants of the Xianbei people out of the city from the east gate in an attempt to break through.

However, the Jin army had already taken precautions, and the 9,000 cavalry pursued the Xianbei people who broke through, and in the end, only Duan Caidu fled with more than 2,000 people. Under the fierce pursuit of the Jin army, less than 2,000 people fled back to Yangle.

If you add the 10,000 Xianbei people who were wiped out in Haiyang before, now the Jin army has annihilated 25,000 Duan cavalry, and only less than 20,000 Duan cavalry are left to wait for death in Yangle. At this point, the Western Route Army had completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield in western Liaoning.

After conquering Lingzhi, Shao Yuniang left a group of infantry to guard the city, and then she personally led the main force to continue to advance towards Yangle. And on the way, he heard the news that Wei Xiong had conquered Haiyang, and so far the Western Route Army had completed the first phase of the combat mission and surrounded Duan's Xianbei in the Yangle area.

The battle of Liaoxi was completely beyond Duan's Xianbei's expectations, and he never thought that the whole battle would be one-sided. Xianbei people don't want to say that they defeated the Jin army, but they don't even have the strength to fight back, and this huge gap in strength makes Xianbei people feel at a loss.

This battle also greatly deterred the naturalized Hu people who fought with the Jin army, and some of the naturalized Hu people had some other careful thoughts, but now they have long lost such thoughts. The strong combat power of the Jin army strengthened the sense of identity of the naturalized Hu people with the identity of the Jin people, and greatly strengthened the determination of the other party to submit to the Great Jin.
