225. The decisive battle is about to break out
"The stockade is still in our hands!"
Zhou Quan's army, still two miles away from the limestone village, has already gotten the news.
This greatly boosted the hearts of the Song army, and at the same time put the Goryeo people in an embarrassing situation.
They are at the foot of the mountain, not only to guard against Zhou Quan's army, but also to guard against the land and sea assault on the mountain, although **** is a brave general under Tuo Junjing's account, but he also knows that he has lost the opportunity.
Now I just want to be able to get out smoothly.
Abandon the baggage, **** took the Korean people and left, but Lu Hai, who was in the stockade, had already found that Zhou Quan's army was not far away, how could he let the other party get out easily.
Regarded as a veteran general in the Goryeo army, he was bitten by the young man Lu Hai, he was in a hurry to get out, and could only break his tail to survive, his 1,000 men and horses, originally lost nearly two hundred when attacking the village, and Zhou Quan caught up after being bitten by Lu Hai, and directly wrapped four hundred, and only more than 300 people escaped.
"Da Lang, how did you come in person!"
Lu Hai came down from the stockade and was taken aback when he saw Zhou Quan, it was something he expected that reinforcements would come, and Zhou Quan would definitely not give up on him, but Zhou Quan would come in person, and brought 3,000 people, leaving only 1,000 people in Yayue Mountain Village, which was beyond his expectations.
"If I don't come out, the Koreans may not have the determination to fight quickly, and since I have come out, I think the Korean Chinese army should also leave Wengpo at this time. Lu Hai, do you and your subordinates still have the strength? ”
At this time, Lu Hai's hands and feet were already a little weak, but when Zhou Quan asked, he still puffed up his chest: "Yes!" ”
"Okay, I'll give you a task, if you can succeed, you will be the first to do this battle!"
"Dalang, please command!"
"I'll give you another 300 people, you take 500 people, make a detour, go to the south of Wengpo, if the Koreans come out, you go and burn all the enemy ships in Wengpo for me, if the Koreans leave a guard, you will choose a risk to guard there, and the Koreans will not dare to send the whole army to help!"
Li Bao next to him was suddenly annoyed: "Da Lang, I should do this thing, Lu Hai has already fought a tough battle!" ”
"In my opinion, it's better for me to do it!" Ye Chu interjected.
Wang Qinian smiled beside him: "It's not as good as me." ”
Lu Hai suddenly felt that his head was big, and he jumped up and said: "Hugh argue, this is Da Lang handed over to me, Da Lang, I will take people to set off!" ”
He didn't stop, and he was going to take people away directly, obviously because he was afraid that Zhou Quan would change his mind.
Zhou Quan also laughed: "Don't worry, in this battle, there are many opportunities for meritorious service, the decisive battle is not here, the decisive battle is still in front of Yayue Mountain!" ”
In front of Yayue Mountain, Tuo Junjing angrily kicked over the sergeant who was kneeling in front of him, stretched out his hand to draw his sword, and stabbed him to death directly.
"Just such a mountain, a few small villages that have been set up temporarily, you just can't take it...... I've attacked them three times, but I still can't attack them! ”
With 10,000 people, attacking a stockade guarded by 1,000 people, it was normal to not be able to capture it for the time being. But what Tuo Junjing didn't expect was that his subordinates were so useless, and the fighting will and courage they showed were not comparable to the Song people in the village.
If only his headquarters was better, among his 10,000 people, there were 6,000 reinforcements sent by Li Ziqian after receiving the news of his request for help. Among these people, there are quite a few who want to see him lively.
What's more, the news of the **** rout has also come, and Tuo Junjing understands that his opportunity has been lost, and the main force of the Song people will soon return to the army, if he can't quickly occupy a favorable position, he may end up with ****.
beheaded a fugitive, let his anger vent a little, and then ordered: "Leave one here to supervise the Song people on the mountain, and the rest retreat to the southern sea, set up a village by the sea, and then send someone to urge the rear, and ask the county uncle to send more reinforcements and ordnance!" ”
He knew in his heart that when this request for help was made, he was afraid that his future would be bleak. But he also secretly blamed Li Ziqian in his heart, this person is good at political disputes, but he doesn't understand military strategy, and sending reinforcements is all dragging mud and water, and he doesn't do it in one step.
For example, last time he asked for reinforcements, if he presided over it himself, he would definitely send more reinforcements, instead of sending thousands at a time like an old man peeing, wouldn't it be child's play to fight like this!
But this kind of thing, Tuo Junjing can only hide it in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say it.
With the imperial court in the hands of such figures, where is there a way out for talented people?
He thought with a little sadness in his heart.
In Wengpu, Li Ziqian received the news that he was urging reinforcements and ordnance, and scolded the messenger with a straight face.
After scolding, he looked around: "Tuo Junjing is a general in the army after all, tell me, how many reinforcements should be sent this time?" ”
"In the opinion of despicability, we should resign from the post of Tuo Junjing and choose a brave man as a general!" A counselor shouted.
"With more hits and fewer blows, not only did he not win, but he also lost the **** battle and lost the opportunity for Yayue, where did Tuo Junjing get the face, and even asked the county uncle for help?"
Li Ziqian was a little tired of listening to it, it was these two people who spoke before, and he only sent 6,000 soldiers and horses to support Tuo Junjing. He knew the plans of these two people, they all had relatives in the army as generals, as long as Tuo Junjing was dismissed, their relatives could take the throne.
In the eyes of everyone in Goryeo, the battle of Tamna was undoubtedly won, so it was a good opportunity to fight for power. Establishing military achievements, especially defeating the Central Plains Dynasty, which has always been feared by the Koreans, will definitely be able to establish a great prestige in the country, and it will soar out of control from then on!
As soon as he looked in front of them, he saw one of the scribes in the seat who was about to speak. His heart moved, and he asked, "Jin Siji, tell me, what should you do?" ”
Everyone looked at the man, and the man stood up and saluted: "Tuojun is a general in the Jing army, and he has made great achievements in the battle with the Jurchens. He has lost repeatedly, although he has his carelessness, but it can also be seen that the thief is quite difficult. As seen by the humble position, the county uncle personally mobilized the army, attacked with all his might, and annihilated the thieves in one fell swoop with the momentum of Mount Tai, which is not suitable for delay. ”
"Jin Fushi, what you said is too high-minded about those Song thieves, right?" Someone laughed.
Jin Fushi's face was expressionless: "I hope to look high, but I am afraid to look down." ”
With one sentence, he blocked back the words that the other party originally wanted to be sarcastic, and then said to Li Ziqian: "Uncle Jun, if our army can't make a quick decision, I'm afraid there will be changes in the country!" ”
The domestic changes in his words refer to the Jurchens taking advantage of the situation, but Li Ziqian thought more.
Li Ziqian is a foreign relative, and his second daughter was canonized as a princess by the king of Goryeo not long ago.
If this battle cannot be won quickly, I am afraid that someone in the DPRK and China will come to replace it, and at that time, it will be too late to regret it.
Thinking of this, Li Ziqian said: "That being the case, I personally led 50,000 troops to Yayue Village...... Hmm, Jin Siji, how about you stay in Wengpu and serve as my rear army? ”
Jin Fushi said solemnly: "I will definitely call the county uncle to have no worries about this trip!" ”
The discussion has been decided, and on May 2, the fourth year of the Great Song Dynasty, Li Ziqian's army entered the front of Yayue Village and joined forces with Tuo Junjing.
On May 3, under Li Ziqian's strict order, the Governor of Tamluo Xing led nearly 20,000 natives to Yayue, but his garrison was in the east and north of Yayue, and Li Ziqian's garrison was in the south of Yayue.
In this regard, Zhou Quan's response, as planned, made the Khitans block the Satan Lord on the side of an unnamed river, and the two sides only fought slightly, and the Satan Lord led the crowd to wait for the opportunity.
Even if Li Ziqian strictly urged, the Lord of the Earth Star did not move, and in the battle, Li Ziqian was not too much.
At this point, the decisive battle is about to break out.
"I watched the village on Yayue Mountain, after the Song people have been operating for many days, it has been extremely difficult to attack, even if we have many soldiers, if we want to attack, there will be many casualties...... Do you have a plan? ”
On this day of the military meeting, Li Ziqian asked everyone.
Tuo Junjing opened his mouth and said: "Our army is overwhelming, as long as we divide one army, take a detour to rob the back road of the Song people, or copy Tanjin, we can win!" ”
He has always been anxious in his heart these days, and he feels that this side of Yayue Mountain is the battlefield preset by the Song people, and it may be disadvantageous to really fight. Therefore, he moved his eyes to the back road of the Song people, feeling that there was more opportunity to take advantage of there.
Li Ziqian was thrilled, and he also felt that this strategy was good, but someone immediately jumped out: "Tuo Junjing, you are just a general of the defeated army, and you dare to talk like this?" Are you bullying the county? ”
"If my plan is wrong, you just say it, why bother?" Tuo Junjing knew this person, his surname was Zheng Keyong, and he was a close confidant of Li Ziqian, so he didn't dare to fight with him, so he could only argue like this.
Zheng Keyong saw that he was afraid of himself, he was quite proud, and sneered: "In vain, you are still a veteran for many years, this can be regarded as a soldier?" Don't you know that the Song people have been operating Tanjin for a long time, and they have changed their name to Wuguo City? Now the city walls around Tanjin are towering, and there are all kinds of city defense equipment, which is only more difficult to break through than the village of Yayue Mountain. It's rare that the Song people abandoned the danger and didn't defend it, and took the initiative to come out to seek death, and if they didn't destroy the Song people in the first month, they would not let the tiger return to the mountain? ”
What he said also has some truth, the Song people are right to defend the danger in Yayue Mountain, but when it comes to ordnance and materials, they are definitely not as abundant as those in the Five Kingdoms City. And after half a year of operation, the walls of the Five Kingdoms City have been too solid, it can be regarded as a strong city, the Goryeo people crossed the sea, the siege equipment is insufficient, and it is indeed difficult to capture for a while.
"Then besiege but not attack, surround Yayue Mountain, and cut off his retreat......"
"This will only force the Song people back to Tanjin, Tuo Junjing, you have lost to the Song people twice, and you have lost your guts!" Zheng Keyong sneered mercilessly.
Tuo Junjing was furious in his heart, and in a fit of anger, he simply shut up and only listened to these people. They fought back and forth, it was nothing more than a fight for military power, and the uneasy feeling in Tuo Junjing's heart became more and more serious, and he secretly decided in his heart that if he had the opportunity, he must withdraw from the land of right and wrong.
Everyone was gossiping, and at this moment, they suddenly heard someone running from outside and saying: "A letter has been shot from the Song army!" ”
"A letter, submit it quickly!" Li Ziqian, who was already dizzy, said.
The letter and the arrow were both delivered, and Li Ziqian opened the letter, but saw a beautiful line of grass. He himself was born as a literati and also knew calligraphy, and after reading it, he sighed: "There are such characters among the bandits in the Song Kingdom!" ”
Tuo Junjing only felt bored in his heart, at this time, it was not the other party's calligraphy that should be concerned, but the content of the letter, right? (To be continued.) )
