Don't look at the Khitans who only have a few million, but the army of the Liao State is almost close to a million. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The palace tent army, the royal tent personal cavalry, the Han army, and the tribal private soldiers are probably more than one million.

The reason why Dashun is jealous of the Liao State is because of this.

You say that you are a country of millions of people, but you have a million soldiers and horses, how can this not make the country tremble? In fact, the millions of soldiers and horses in the Liao State also have water. For example, the private soldiers of the tribe, who were originally herdsmen, only in time of war, would they pick up sabers and bow and arrows to participate in the war. Not to mention the Han Chinese, who were originally farmers, artisans, and even slaves. When it was time to fight, they were incorporated into the army and served as foot soldiers. Craftsmen are better treated, but they also have to contribute labor to make all kinds of equipment for the Liao army.

The real standing army of the Liao State is still the palace tent army and the imperial tent personal cavalry, as well as the guards and pro-armies in Shangjing, Zhongjing and Tokyo. But this army is only a few tens of thousands, so I will not count them.

The Liaoguo Palace Tent Army and the Imperial Tent Cavalry should have 700,000 horses.

Maybe this number is a bit watery, after all, eating soldiers' blood is not the patent of the Han people.

But with another discount, there are five or six hundred thousand.

Now Yelu Hongji is desperate and has transferred back the palace tent troops stationed in various places, and wants to have a final decisive battle with the forbidden army.

As soon as the military order came out, the forbidden army learned in advance.

There is no way, now in the Liao Kingdom, there are more Han people than Khitans, hiding hundreds of spies, just like playing.

The Supervision Department has already planted a number of chess pieces in Linhuang Mansion, and now it is time to harvest. Before the military order left the city, it had been learned in advance by the secret agents of the Supervision Department by various means, and then secretly sent to the table of the clinic.

"Captain, should we take the initiative?"

The generals below have asked for battle. After a few days of rest, they were tired of themselves. Seeing that midsummer is coming, the Khitan soldiers are strong and strong. If it drags on any longer, their advantage will be attenuated by another point or two.

"Although the city of Linhuang Mansion is high and the walls are thick, the Khitan people are not good at guarding the city!"

"Captain, the last general thinks that it is advisable to fight quickly!"

"Captain ......"

……

After pondering for a long time, he waved his hand: "You can't fight!" ”

"What?" All the generals thought they were hallucinating, "Can't fight?!" ”

The seed doctor nodded: "We have occupied the most fertile southern part of the Liao country, and the Liao country has nothing to do with us for a while." Besides, the straight road will be repaired here in another month. If we fight, I don't know if we can win. With the straights, our hands can be guaranteed. But what about the Khitans? Those hundreds of thousands of horses, the daily consumption is a bottomless pit, how long can the Liao State hold on? Therefore, Yeluhongki is more anxious than us, and we will not move our troops and let Yeluhongji attack. We are leaning on trenches, barbed wire, and bunkers, and Yeluhongki can't do anything about us! ”

Wang Shao on the side spoke: "Those who are good at fighting are invincible, and they will not lose the defeat of the enemy." ”

The generals who can be in the big tent of the Chinese army have all read "The Art of War", and nodded when they heard the words. Only Yang Huaiyu's face was full of anger, but he didn't dare to vent. After all, the army is extremely strict in the treatment of the army, and if he touches the military law, he will be sent to the military law department to be confined. Yang Huaiyu has been confined many times in the Royal Military Academy, and he has a natural fear of the small black house. Even if he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to vent it in public.

The doctor ordered: "Pass on the commander's military order, all departments guard their posts, change their guards on time, and be vigilant against the attack of the Liao army!" ”

"Ordered !!"

There is no need to say that everyone knows one thing. The grain and grass of the Liao army will soon be poor. And the forbidden army has Dashun as a backer, and there is no problem of food and grass at all. If the straight road is repaired to the vicinity of Linhuang Mansion, the forbidden army will have no worries. If you cultivate all the gallop roads here, it will be even more relenting to one hundred and twenty hearts.

Yelu Hongji was also worried about this matter, and he ordered the people of Liao to concentrate all the cattle and sheep and grain in Linhuang Mansion to prepare for a decisive battle.

But the property of the herdsmen is not something that he, the emperor, can seize with a thin piece of paper. For the sake of cattle and sheep, I don't know how many places, a revolt broke out. The Khitan people are brave, and in order to defend their property, they all dare to fight hard. Even Yelu Hongji didn't know what to do at the moment.

"We must fight a decisive battle !! as soon as possible"

For the first time, Yeluhonki felt that fighting a war was not fun. When you have the upper hand, you naturally feel that it is very cool to fight; Once you are at a disadvantage, it is a kind of torture.

As soon as the 300,000 garrisoned palace tent troops returned to Linhuang Mansion, Yelu Hongji immediately issued an order, put up a formation, and prepared for a decisive battle.

Only this time, the Forbidden Army did not respond.

The soldiers of the forbidden army just leaned in the trenches and the dark fort, looking at the palace tent army that had gathered nearly 600,000 with an expressionless face, but they were not worried at all.

Fighting a war does not depend on the number of people.

Sometimes, the more people there are, the worse things happen.

It's a pity that now Yelu Hongji has been carried away and can't think of this aspect.

If you want to make it perish, you must first make it mad. Now Yelu Hongji is crazy. He knew that once Dashun's policy of buying people's hearts was promoted, it would be digging the foundation of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao State relied on bows and horses to establish the country, and the Khitan people were raised like sheep in captivity, so what is the difference between the Khitan and the Han people?

This time, he learned his lesson and no longer engaged in any royal conquests, but delegated the command to Jeruzara, the king of the Northern Courtyard.

Jeruzara was a rare general in Liao who was both civil and military, and his temperament was loyal and straightforward. In the early years of Liao Qingning, Jerusara moved to the southwest to recruit envoys to govern the name. In the ninth year of Liao Xianyong, he was promoted to the king of the North Courtyard. Jeruzara was another sworn enemy of Yelu Yixin's party, and he was not supposed to be treated by Yelu Hongji. But now is the time to employ people, and Yelu Hongji can't take care of much.

At the urging of Jeruhunki, Jeruzara dispatched his troops to prepare for a decisive battle with the forbidden army.

However, the Liao army was ready, but the forbidden army did nothing, as if it was none of its business. It's like punching cotton with all your might, which makes Jeruzara feel quite aggrieved.

"This Han dog, you look down on people!" Jeruzara was in the camp of the Chinese army, and his face was blue with anger, "Pass my military order, let the royal tent ride in person, and all Han troops will attack together!" I don't believe it, when it comes to your door, can you still be indifferent? ”

The Liao army moved, and there were more than 100,000 people.

In front of him was a foot soldier, and looking at the ragged appearance, he knew at a glance that it was the Han army. Behind is a high-headed horse, full of armor, like a heavy cavalry, and the forbidden army also knows that it is the most elite royal tent rider in the Liao State.

The doctor picked up the clairvoyant mirror, and while looking at it, he muttered: "Yelu Hongji's mind for the decisive battle is very heavy, but he thinks that Ben Shuai must not be able to do what he wants......

Putting down the clairvoyant mirror, the doctor shouted coldly: "Pass on the military order of the marshal, strictly guard against it, and do not attack!" ”
