Four, two, four, out of control
The treatment of the forbidden army in Hebei is not good, and there has been no major war on the border for many years, whether it is military discipline or vigilance, it is extremely poor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
They have never heard the sound of artillery, but have heard of the power of artillery, at this time people speak, there are many exaggerated words, when talking about artillery, some people even say that its "sound is like thunder, once it is sent out and erosive for several miles", so the Hebei forbidden army is very afraid of this.
Coupled with the fact that the spies who had infiltrated the army were shouting while setting fires, they were immediately in chaos, and the entire camp was boiling, and soon spread to the rest of the camps of the Hebei Forbidden Army.
Then the night raid team led by Yelu Dashi rushed over!
This army is the last essence of the Khitan in Nanjing Road, the number is not much, only more than 3,000 people, but its backbone is the personal guard brought by Yelu Dashi from Japan, it can be said that he was born and died many times, the most loyal, but also very combative.
With their leadership, the Khitans, who had originally lost their combat effectiveness, seemed to have regained the glory of their ancestors at this moment. They rushed into the Song military camp, as if they were devastated, and everywhere they went, blood flowed and flames soared to the sky!
It's not that Tong Guan didn't arrange vigilance, but all his precautions were useless at this moment!
If at this time, the Western Army immediately came up to respond, and maybe it could save the situation, but the generals of the Western Army, all of them chose to wait and see at this moment!
They are afraid of bloody battles, Hebei is not as good as Hehuang, fighting with the Xia people in Hehuang, that is to defend their homeland, they can inspire incomparable fighting spirit, but when they come to Hebei, after making great contributions, they have lost their blood.
It wasn't until Tong Guan saw that the situation was not good and ordered them to respond to the military order that they came down, and they stumbled and moved closer to the Hebei Forbidden Army, but before they opened the camp gate, the Hebei Forbidden Army that had broken up had been driven by the Liao people to rush towards them!
And the forbidden army of the Beijing Division, which was still in a safe area in the rear, at this moment, more than ten commanders led the army to abandon the camp and escape!
They are all noble children, and they were stuffed into the army because they were rewarded for their meritorious service with Tong Guan, not to fight hard, and when they saw the chaos in front of them, they were frightened by the rumbling cannons, and they fled first.
This took the lead, and immediately the entire Jingshi forbidden army also quickly collapsed, and Tong Guan could only restrain his own base camp.
The chaos in the rear naturally also affected the front, and there were shouts for help everywhere, so that the Western Army, which had no will to fight, did not hesitate, abandoned its allies, and moved to the west!
The "300,000" Song army was broken by the 3,000 Liao army!
Although the 300,000 should be discounted, the number of Song troops who really fought with the Liao should be less than 100,000, but the defeat of this battle really made Tong Guan embarrassed and angry.
In the military camp of Tong Guan's main formation, Hu Ning, who was wearing a whole body, strode out, and the people sent by Tong Guan wanted to stop him, but Hu Ning glared at him: "At this time, the army has been defeated, you still don't protect Tong Guan, what is your intention to stop me here?" ”
These guards thought about it, it was useless for them to stop Hu Ning, at this time, it was a great achievement to protect Tong Guan's retreat!
Therefore, they abandoned Hu Ning and came to look for Tong Guan, and when they arrived at Tong Guan's big tent, they heard Tong Guan shouting sharply: "The people sent by Zhou Quan, kill him, kill him!" ”
On weekdays, in order to cover up that he was a eunuch, Tong Guan would speak in a deep voice, but at this time, he was ashamed and angry, and he couldn't hide it, so his voice was as sharp as a woman.
The guards looked at each other, knowing that something was wrong, where did they dare to come to see Tong Guan again, anyway, there was chaos at this time, and they also mixed into the chaotic army and took care of their own lives.
Tong Guan really wanted to kill Hu Ning.
One is shame and anger, Zhou Quan repeatedly warned him that the Northern Expedition would be defeated, and sure enough, he ushered in a fiasco! And this defeat made him understand that although the fruit of Yanjing was ripe, it was not something that people like him could easily pick.
The second is to extinguish the mouth, before and after the defeat in this battle, Hu Ning saw it in his eyes, and when he returned to Zhou Quan's side, he would inevitably talk a lot. Tong Guan's own subordinates, he can ensure that these people don't dare to talk nonsense, but Zhou Quan has this opportunity to attack him, how can he let it go?
It's just that the people he sent out to kill Hu Ning ran back after a while: "Dashuai, that guy ran away!" ”
"Ran away? Waste, all waste! ”
Tong Guan shouted angrily, he was still waiting to send someone to search, but the guards around him could no longer be left by him: "Dashuai, you have to leave, it is better to retreat to the Sanggan River, gather the scattered army, and prepare to fight again!" ”
At this time, Tong Guan also woke up, in the chaos of the army, no one cared whether he was a handsome or not, if he couldn't retreat to a safe place as soon as possible to collect the defeated soldiers, he wouldn't even have a chance to turn back the situation!
After Tong Guan also fled, the only remaining resistance of the Song army was gone.
When it was getting dark, Yelu Dashi reined in his horse, looked at the blood stains on his body, looked at the corpses that could be seen everywhere, and the military equipment thrown on the ground, he looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Song people, but that's it!"
"Song people are nothing more than that!"
"Long live the Great Stone Tree!"
There was cheering all around, and the backbones he brought with him even exhaled the slogan of long live.
The Liao State has been too aggrieved over the years, except for taking advantage of Japan, and in other places, it has been controlled almost everywhere. The defeat of the Song army this time was a shot in the arm for the Liao people, which made them very excited.
Naturally, some people will think that if Da Shi Linya was in charge of national politics, would Da Liao still fall to this point?
"Da Shi Linya, take us to continue the pursuit, don't let Tong Guan run!" Someone shouted.
"Don't let Tong Guan run away!"
There were shouts around again, Yelu Dashi saw that the army's heart was available, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Tong Guan can't run, let's eat the food of the Song people first, I heard that many of their logistics supplies are provided by Zhou Quan, and now Zhou Quan is also going to serve us their canned food!" ”
Everyone laughed, since Zhou Quan went north last year, the same thing that has been circulating among the Liao army like artillery is canned military food.
As Yelu Dashi expected, many of the military assets of the Song army were purchased from the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, including canned food.
The Song army was defeated too completely, many things were not taken away, and the mountains of military food were enough for 100,000 troops to eat for half a month. Now that the Liao country is in turmoil, and the Liao army is often short of supplies, with such a large amount of money in the account, the certainty of winning this battle is even greater.
But even bigger surprises are yet to come.
"Big Stone Linya, look, come and see!" Someone exclaimed to him, and when Jerod followed the sound, he saw a pile of metal covered with an oilcloth.
Artillery!
There are twenty-four artillery pieces, which are all the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty Shenlei Army, but when they went to the battlefield, they did not fire a single shot, and they all fell into the hands of Yelu Dashi.
Yelu Dashi was really surprised, last night the Liao State used artillery, but it was just an imitation of the Liao people, the terrifying effect at night was good, but the actual lethality was very limited, Yelu Dashi even heard complaining that the possibility of it exploding was as great as the possibility of it hitting the enemy!
The greatest effect of artillery is not to kill and injure the enemy, but to make the enemy panic and confusion who have never heard the sound of artillery.
It's just that the collapse of the Song people came too quickly, so that Yelu Dashi couldn't believe it.
Especially when he saw these twenty-four cannons, a layer of cold sweat appeared on the back of Yelu Dashi.
The biggest effect of artillery is not to kill and injure the enemy in the field, but to destroy the city defense during the siege, fortunately they captured these artillery, and fortunately, Tong Guan did not make good use of these artillery pieces in order to keep it secret, and even more fortunately, they forcibly attacked at night when Tong Guan was not stable, and captured these sharp weapons in one fell swoop!
"With this thing, the Song people don't have to worry about it, move them back and put them on the head of Yanjing City, how many Song people come, how many die!" Yelu Dashi said happily.
While they were counting the seizures, there was a sudden sound of hooves behind them, and Jelu Dashi was not worried, his spies controlled the surroundings, and if the comers were enemies, someone would have come to report them.
After a while, he saw a general riding out with nearly 2,000 horses, and he was overjoyed when he saw him: "Da Shi Linya, congratulations!" ”
Obviously, the other party also knows the news of Yelu Dashi's big break.
Yelu Dashi was also full of joy when he saw the people coming: "Husha, why are you here?" ”
"On the military order of the Prime Minister of Beifu, I came to support Dashi Linya, and the Prime Minister of Beifu has also supervised the reinforcements to go out of the city!"
The prime minister of Beifu is Xiao Gan, who has a reputation in Liao, and this Yelu Xiusha is a fierce general under Xiao Gan's account. They came to help, which was unexpected by Yelu Dashi, which also made the number of Liao troops in Yanjing City even larger. Yelu Dashi glanced at it, and there were nearly 2,000 cavalry he brought, and Yelu Dashi had a plan in his heart.
Tong Guan even threw away the artillery, so the panic of his army can be seen, this is the best opportunity, when the victory is broken again!
As long as he can break Tong Guan for a while, he will inevitably be driven back to Sanggan Henan, and he can even counterattack into the Song Realm, and the initiative will be on the side of Liao at that time!
"Yelu Xiusha, now that Tong Guan has broken his courage, my army fought hard for half a night last night, and I can't afford to chase anymore, do you dare to go and pursue?"
"How dare not!" Yelu Shusha rolled his eyes and said sharply: "If Da Shi Linya wants to give me this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, I am too late to be happy, how can I not dare!" ”
"Then you go, the road is full of frightened Song people, I don't know where Tong Guan is, you just caught Song people and asked! I'll rest here for half a day, and then I'll pick you up! ”
Yelu Dashi will be ordered, that Yelu Xiusha immediately set off, sure enough, as Yelu Dashi said, along the way to see the Song people are all broken, like rabbits a little frightened to go, they rely on the horse fast, capture a few foot soldiers, although did not ask the specific location of Tong Guan, but also know the direction of the Song army's retreat.
Tong Guan retreated with his own soldiers and retreated until he reached the bank of the Sanggan River, where he cut down trees and set up camp and gathered the scattered soldiers. By the middle of the day, there were only 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers he had gathered, and most of them had lost their souls and had no will to fight at all. Most of these are the forbidden army in Beijing, the Hebei forbidden army was completely dispersed, and it couldn't even recruit it, as for the western army, under the leadership of the seed master Dao, it has moved to the west, and it is said that it still retains a relatively complete establishment.
Hearing this news, Tong Guan felt a little relieved, and sent someone to recruit the Western Army to come over to guard, he pondered in his heart, if the Western Army came here, it would still be able to recruit more than 100,000 people, even if it retreated to the south of the Sanggan River, it was still possible to confront the Liao people, waiting for the opportunity.
