Volume 3 Mending the Cracks in the Sky Chapter 155 (18)
In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Yan Army, the atmosphere at this moment is so gloomy, as if it is ten times more gloomy than the weather in the coming days of the rainstorm a few days ago!
Several of Liu Guangshi's henchmen and generals, all of them were pale, looking at each other, all of them were frightened. And the brothers Liu Guangshi and Liu Anshi, although they still tried their best to stand up straight, they couldn't help shaking their hands and feet, and still confided their true thoughts.
Even if you are already panicked to the extreme!
Only Yang Keshi's body entered the mountain, standing on the side of the wooden map according to the sword, staring at the wooden map of the topography of the mountains and rivers in the east of the river, and in his eyes, it seemed that a flame was burning, wanting to burn a way out for the tens of thousands of Yan Yan army on top of this dead thing!
In the big tent, a military general covered in mud and water knelt down, and he was shaking his voice to reply to what he had seen the Zhejia army running north.
This general is a supervisor in the middle of the back road, and the back road chases up the grain, grass, and heavy military supplies, and the people must follow the station. In the Weishui River Valley, there are a number of such cantonments, which are covered by the war defenders, which are specially used for the rest of the people and the storage and transportation of grain and military materials.
This kind of dispatch has always been quite oily and watery, and the military supplies and grain that are transferred from it are consumed a little more, and the salt and vegetable money of the people is deducted a little, and the large-scale war carried out by tens of thousands of people can be reaped for a little longer. Unless there is a lot of backstage support, there is no foundation in the Western Army. This Guan Tun official was brought over by Liu Guangshi from Huanqing Road, and he can be regarded as a confidant of the Liu family.
The ability to lead troops to fight and not be chaotic in the face of danger is something that this cantonment official does not have. When the Zhejia army covering the cantonment suddenly empty the camp and went west, there was an urgent military situation that the camp on the back road of Hehe Jindu was intercepted. The official panicked and sent an official document to the east. On the other hand, he followed the Zhejia Army Brigade to the west. At that time, I just wanted to get out of this dead land as soon as possible.
The result is at the western entrance of the Ooshui River Valley. In the rain of night, the official saw the Zhejia army carrying torches and heading north in the night. And the camp that they had temporarily set up for the defeated army and civilians suddenly collapsed, and in the midst of cursing and crying, it was completely destroyed!
At this time, Guan Tunguan was a little sober. Thousands of the Zhejia army left without a fight against the Jurchen army, leaving behind tens of thousands of Yanyan troops. They are scurrying around. Where can they flee to? If you bump into the Jurchen rangers blocking the river, won't you lose your life in vain? It's better to turn around and move closer to the Yan Yan Army Brigade, maybe it's safer. Follow the team, if you want to crash out, you will have a big fate, you can't hit out, at least you will have someone with you when you die!
Many people had the same thoughts as this officer, and when the Zhijia army was leaving the empty camp north, they turned around and went west in the muddy rain. This cantonment official was very lucky, and on the way he bumped into Yang Keshi's westward patrol knight, and said at that time that there would be an urgent military situation to return to Liu Guangshi. Only then did he get a horse, and under the escort of Yang Keshi's department, he galloped towards the Hehe Central Army.
In the final analysis, this Guan Tun official is one of the descendants brought out by Liu Guangshi from the Huanqing Army. In the rain and muddy, he ran sleepless all day and night, and finally rushed to the Hehe Central Army, and was stopped by the Chinese army's guards at the door when he wanted to enter the Hehe City, and the official cried out.
Zhe Ke begged for an excuse to gather military horses to open up a retreat to the west, but in fact, he had already taken the main force of the Zhejia army and abandoned the army to the north! The army of Yanyan, the back road is cut off, and there are no more military horses for a while, covering the back road of the Weishui River Valley, and the 40,000 army will be blocked in this Jedi!
Such an urgent military situation, suddenly shook the Chinese army's personal guards, and sent it straight to the Chinese army's big tent, the Chinese army's flag officer answered a question, and instantly like a thunderous toad, panicked so much that he went straight to the Chinese army's big tent, and broke the general demeanor of Liu Guangshi's command!
The generals in the account, including the Liu brothers, were so stunned for a while that they couldn't say a word. It was Yang Keshi who welcomed the messenger in with the flag officer, and carefully returned to the military situation. Only then did Guan Tunguan, who was flustered and tired, seem to be able to faint all the time, trembling his voice to return to the scene of how the family army went north!
“………… The Zhejia army drove us out of the camp, and we went out of the camp, gathered the soldiers and horses at home, and set up a military village in the rain, thinking that the horns of the Zhejia army would support. These are not straight, as long as the Zhejia army is willing to hold the camp, we are willing to drink muddy water. The straight lady thief can ask for it and do Zhang Zuozhi, and take the guards to the west for a whole day, and when we turn around, we almost dance and worship on the ground!
………… The bird also brought back a dozen Tartar heads that I didn't know if they were true or not, and we discussed them privately. said that it was good now, the soldiers outside the river were really reliable, and they were old generals again, and the back road was stabilized. It is not a loss that the Lord has been so generous to them. After this battle is over, our Yan Yan army will inevitably repay the soldiers outside the Zhijia River. Who thought that in the middle of the night, the Fold army would leave the camp empty and go north! What else do we have to say when we see this bird? At the moment, crying and crying and shouting away, I thought about such an urgent military situation, and said that I would return to the general, and immediately turned back, ran day and night, and finally came to the tiger tent of the general, and asked the general to make plans as soon as possible to save the lives of our 40,000 sons and daughters of the Yan army! ”
Speaking of which, the official was already crying and howling, with tears and snot all over his face. In addition, I was really frightened and tired to the extreme, and under the excitement of the emotion, I suddenly couldn't lift it in one breath, the whites of my eyes turned up, and I fell to the ground with a slump.
His sudden appearance frightened Liu Guangshi and the others in the tent, and Liu Guangshi took a step back in disgust. Only Yang Keshi stepped forward to pick him up and pinched him hard, so that the official in charge of the tun could be relieved in one breath.
The Guan Tun official was relieved, and while breaking free from Yang Keshi, he cried to Liu Guangshi: "General, save our 40,000 sons and daughters of the Yan Army!" ”
There was a loud snap, but it was Yang Keshi who gave him a heavy slap in the face. With the strength of his hand, this slap made Guan Tunguan's mouth full of blood, and several teeth were loosened, and all the sounds were blocked.
"But for martial artists, bleeding is a common thing, what kind of horse urine is shed? Get out of here, drink some hot soup, and eat some hot food. Naturally, they will take their sons and daughters to fight their way out, what is the mourning at this time? ”
The Guan Guan looked at Yang Keshi with a calm face, although his ears were buzzing now after being scraped by the big ear, he unconsciously calmed down.
Yang Keshi beckoned to the flag officer to take him out, and his tone slowed down: "There are people in the 40,000 Yan army who have horses. There are knives and guns. There were reinforcements on all sides. As long as you don't retreat. Are you still afraid that the tartars will eat us? It's good to take a break, and then follow someone to fight! Straight lady thief, Tartar is not a knife and a life, a shot is also a life! ”
On weekdays, Yang Keshi, the old Qiu Ba, behaves and speaks in a tone, which is most despised by Yan Yanjun. The generals of the Western Army have been in a family for decades or hundreds of years, and they have long begun to pay attention to the demeanor. Yang Keshi's status is still like this, which is too decent.
But now, the generals in the account, including Liu Guangshi, are trembling. His face was pale, and when he couldn't say a word for a long time, only Yang Keshi could make people feel a little relieved!
The flag officer gave a military salute to Yang Keshi's chest and mixed the Guan Tun official out. Yang Keshi even waved his hand to drive out several guards, and when there were no more idle people waiting in the tent, Yang Keshi turned to Liu Guangshi, his eyes were like electricity.
"General, the military situation is in danger at this moment! So I went west and assembled my headquarters. Open a path for the armies! Before I break a road, please sit here. Don't move lightly! ”
Liu Guangshi's lips pursed, and he couldn't make a sound for a while.
He understands what Yang Keshi said. But now the situation is so critical that he has run away, how dare he still sit in Hehe County and govern without moving?
Liu Anshi's face turned pale beside him, and he asked: "Where to fight?" ”
Yang Keshi said coldly: "Open up the Weishui River Valley to the west!" Hit the edge of the Yellow River! If you can't get through, turn north and move closer to the three states outside the river! ”
Liu Anshi's voice was low, and he hesitated: "What about the south?" ”
The eyes of all the generals lit up, even including Liu Guangshi!
The south of the Weishui River Valley is the main vein of Luliang Mountain, the mountains overlap repeatedly, the population is sparse, and the mountain trails and roads are dangerous. At most, it can only pass sporadic sentry scouts, and it is by no means a place where the army can pass. Yang Keshi and Zhe Keqiu covered the back road, and the main direction of prevention was to the mountain passages to the north.
To the south, there is no Jurchen army to intercept it, but the 40,000 army scattered into the main vein of Luliang Mountain is also equivalent to giving up this Yan army! It is no longer possible to control these 40,000 military horses among the mountains of Luliang, and it is absolutely impossible to carry many heavy grains and straw. The 40,000-strong army is equivalent to not waiting for the Jurchen army to fight, and it will collapse in the main vein of Luliang Mountain. Even if there are no Jurchen Tartars intercepting along the way and chasing and killing them at the tail, I don't know how many people will be able to get out of this heavy mountain!
And Zonghan's headquarters marched westward from Yifang, as long as a small group of men and horses were separated along the valley of the river in the south, and arrived at Tianhun Jin through Linquan, they could join the Lou Mur Division, which had already intercepted the back road and cut off the big river, and the fast place of travel far exceeded the Yanyan Army Headquarters that crossed the mountains to the south. And even if the remnants of the Yan army who were lucky enough to cross the mountains were defeated, they could only wait to be slaughtered by the Jurchen Tatars, and they had no ability to resist. Except for the sporadic men and horses who brought enough food and straw to hide in the mountains of Luliang for half a year and a year, savages could avoid the Jurchen soldiers, and to flee to the south was to kill themselves!
Seeing the generals, including Liu Guangshi's expression, Yang Keshi's face darkened, and he said angrily: "General Liu, if you go south, you will bury these 40,000 children!" When the time comes, it will be up to the little breed to spare you! ”
At this time, Yang Keshi no longer cared about the feelings of the Western Army, and his saliva was about to spray on Liu Guangshi's face.
Liu Guangshi lowered his head and shook his head: "A certain is not to the south, a certain is not to the south............"
He suddenly raised his head again and looked at Yang Keshi fixedly: "General Yang, is it too late to fight for the west at this moment?" If you can't rush to the west, can you rush through the water to the north? How sure are you? ”
Yang Keshi's face was as pale as iron: "I can ask for a straight thief to run away, how do I know about the situation on the back road?" Zong Han's subordinates followed, and the Tartar forces in the north would only get thicker and thicker. What can you say for sure? But you can't lose the army, and watch 40,000 sons being slaughtered by the Tartars, and you can only survive in death! ”
Glancing at the silent generals, Yang Keshi added coldly: "No matter what, I always rush to kill in front of you." If I want to die, I will die before you! ”
Liu Guangshi hesitated, as if he wanted to discuss something in detail. Yang Keshi was already impatiently roaring: "Where is the time to strategize and arrange Zhou Xiang now!" Now I can only fight with my life! What Xiao Yan did in Yandi, you all saw it in your eyes, and only then did he take the lead in battle, so that he could fight a bloody way, pacify Yanyun, and finally rise to the top! Such a precarious situation. Still hesitating. Just be perfect. I still want to enter Taiyuan Mansion before, welcome back the two saints, and replace the status of King Yan! ”
These words have been said politely, and every word is like a heavy slap in the face, hitting Liu Guangshi's face loudly!
Liu Guangshi's face was blue and red, and Liu Anshi pressed the handle of the knife on his waist. In the end, Liu Guangshi shook his head violently, stepped forward and slammed Yang Keshi to the ground, and got up. The tone of his mouth was extremely sincere.
"The mistake of this eastward expansion is some! 40,000 Yan children, Liu Mouan dares to give up? As previously discussed, the rear road of the Yanyan army and horses were all dispatched by General Yang, and a certain Chinese army was led here. I also ask General Yang to look at the face of 40,000 Yan Erlang and open a way for the army! Liu is here to please! ”
Yang Keshi nodded silently, arched his hand towards Liu Guangshi, and strode out of the tent.
Outside the big tent of the Chinese army. Hundreds of Chinese army guards in brocade and iron armor have long since lost their previous strict queues. Just outside the tent, hundreds of eyes were just projected in silence.
The army was deeply dying, and the Jurchens cut off the back road, so they could abandon the army and flee. When such a military situation came, everyone knew how bad the battle situation was, and everyone knew how self-righteous and imprudent this General Liu was in sending troops this time!
But at this time, only these generals can be counted on to bring the army out of the place of death. There is only one guest general Yang Keshi who is expected to be in the army!
Yang Keshi's roar in the tent, these guards could hear it clearly. When Yang Keshi came out, all the relatives and guards were silent and bowed deeply. Yang Keshi stood at the entrance of the tent, took a deep breath, and walked slowly. Along the way, he pulled up all the guards who were leaning down, patted them on the shoulders and knocked them on the hoods.
Several Yang Keshi guards have been waiting outside for a long time. Everyone led the three horses, but the extra ones were sent by Liu Guangshi's personal guards. Everyone was neatly tied up, with a resolute expression, just waiting for Yang Keshi.
Yang Keshi took the reins, turned over on his horse, and looked back at everyone in the eyes of the guards of the army in the brigade, and shouted angrily.
"At this moment, there is nothing more to say. There is only one sentence, no matter when, I only rush to kill, even if I die, I only die in front of you! ”
The guards saluted solemnly, and responded in a neat manner: "Congratulations to General Yang!" ”
There was a sound outside the tent, and it came straight in. And Liu Guangshi stood on the side of the wooden map, his expression was uncertain. And the anxious eyes of the confidants and generals only fell on him.
Liu Anshi finally said in a low voice: "Brother, we have to prepare early!" ”
Yes, prepare early............
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Kehu Village, the sound of fighting finally subsided.
This is the key military village on the east bank of the Jinning army, and when the Jurchen military horses swept the east bank of the Yellow River before, they have not been attacked. However, as Liu Guangshi transferred the army and horses of the Yan Road, he drove eastward. Most of the elite soldiers and strong generals in Kehu Village should also be transferred to the army.
When the Lou Chamber's troops came out of the Lan army and swept across the east bank of the river again. This key military fortress fell this time.
Kehu Village lives on the east bank of the Yellow River, condescendingly, and you can see the surging river in front of you. And the Jinning Military City on the other side is also in sight.
Nahutuo, one of the Meng'an of the Lou Chamber, was on the wall of this Kehu village, staring at the scene of the Jinning military city on the other side. At his feet, the corpses in Kehu Village were all over the ground, the broken fence was crooked, and the rain was still falling in the sky, washing out the red water flow of blood in the village. Hundreds of Song captives huddled under the fence, their faces trembling, waiting for an unpredictable fate in the future.
These southern armies are really vulnerable! It is also known as one of the six divisions of the Western Army, the first strongest army in the Southern Dynasties! Compared with the victorious army of the even bird southerners who dealt all the way from Yunnei to Hedong, it was simply a world of difference!
However, according to the captives of the southerners, the six routes of the Western Army, it is said that the weakest is the Yan Yan Army. The Xihe Army has withered, the Huanqing Army is also being newly built, and the Yongxing Army has never been able to defend its home. There are also Jingyuan Army and Qin Fengjun who are strong, and they are not much better than the Divine Martial Victory Army. I really want to cross the river and touch this Jingyuan army and Qin Fengjun to see what all the strong armies of the southerners are!
I thought of going all the way and fighting all over the southerners. Nahu, who was full of beard, couldn't help but pout.
We are in charge of Zonghan. All the way. It's all a vicious battle. I also folded the silver technique. The Mo Nan Zahu tribes were almost wiped out. If it weren't for the proper arrangement of Zong Hanlou's room, the situation would have been opened at once, and I don't know how long it would take to fight!
The nobles of Zongwang will be raised in the rich land of the Liao people, and they will be flattered by those birds in the Bohai Sea. This time I went south, not relying on our Western Route Army to attract all the southern troops that could fight, I don't know how easy and refreshing it is to go along the way! Our Western Route Army is the life of a hard fight!
Think again, though. Even in the Western Route Army, why not such a person who just sits back and enjoys the results of the battle? For example, Xi Yin, who collected calligraphy, painting and antiques from the southerners, was in the town day. I don't come forward in any tough battle, but there are no more benefits!
Thinking of the Eastern Route Army and Xi Yin's generation, Nahu Tuo was annoyed. The wealth of the southerners is far beyond imagination. The Western Route Army only swept the land halfway east of the river, and the captivity and plundering of Shengkou had already reached tens of thousands, which was still fateful and able to survive until now. And the looted goods are piled up. Liao has a number of roads, but I am afraid that I can't catch up with the wealth of Hedong halfway!
And it is said that the east of this river is still the barren place of the southerners, Shaanxi and Hebei. It is densely populated and has a mountain of goods. And the capital of the Southern Dynasties is Bianliang. It's like heaven on earth!
It's a pity that those who can cross the river and enter the Lou room only allow two departments, Kedun and Chada, and their own department can only sweep all the way on the east bank of the Yellow River, blocking the traffic on both sides of the river. Lou Room strictly ordered that not a single soldier in the department should cross the river and march west!
Look at the scattered flags of the Jinning Military City in the distance, but for the general, who doesn't know that the military heart on the opposite side is already chaotic and empty? So many Nansheng who are waiting for their own slaughter and looting have their mouths, but they can't swallow it!
Thinking of this, Nahutuo was indignant. They are people from a small family, and their accumulation is far worse than that of most of the Wanyan family. He is so fierce that he can draw out nearly a thousand female elves in battle. But the people of all ethnic groups who are used now are only a thousand people, and a batch of people die every year. Although the grange and pasture were divided, the women and children in Meng'an still had to work by themselves. With Lou Room, it's nothing to fight hard battles. But the opportunity to strengthen Meng'an's strength is right in front of him, but he can only watch, which makes people angry!
Thinking of this, Nahutuo shouted: "Bring the bow!" ”
A personal guard handed over the bow and arrow, and the bow used by Nahu was refined by the Liao people, and it had the strength of three stones. Even though the rain is wet, the loss of some bow power is still a sharp weapon in the army. He angrily struck an armor-piercing cone on the winding, opened his bow like a full moon, and shot an arrow out, and shot a Song army prisoner huddled under the fence!
Hundreds of Song army prisoners sitting in the rain just looked at them numbly, and then buried their heads deeply.
Shooting one person, Nahu was still depressed. And the bow and arrow will be fired again. A Jurchen Chuan rode a horse straight up from the mountain, shouting from a distance: "Nahu Tuo, Lou has an order, mobilize us to fight the Yan army to the east!" ”
Nahu was stunned, leaned over with both hands against the wall and shouted: "What the hell is going on? Isn't Lou Room going to enter with a heavy weight? ”
As a Meng'an under the account of Lou Room, Na Hu Tuo did not know the layout of Lou Room. After the strange soldiers intercepted the back road, they only swept both sides of the Yellow River and blocked traffic. The other part covered Lan Shui and prepared to pick up Zong Han's army. The rest of the army and horses did not deeply persecute the main force of the Nanren Yan army, which was isolated in the valley of the Weishui River. Instead, they waited for these tens of thousands of southern troops to collapse on their own. Or wait for the main force of Zong Han's department to come up, and finally deliver a heavy blow.
This is precisely the right way to use troops with less consumption and greater results. As a general under Lou Muro, everyone has always admired his level of military use.
But why do you suddenly want to gather troops to the east now, and now you are going to fight the main force of the Yan army?
Before the legend rode his horse to the village, he did not dismount, but shouted in Jurchen language on his back.
"The Hewai soldiers of the Zhejia Army have run away! Now that the west side of the Weishui River Valley is empty, Lou Mu said that he can't let go of this opportunity. He had already led his troops westward. Now I'll transfer you to this part, and I'll follow up! Go and kill tens of thousands of southern troops in the Weishui River Valley! ”
Without waiting for Nahu to speak, the soldiers of the Jurchen army around him all cheered loudly!
Hit hundreds of miles in such heavy rain, and then turn to fight in the rain and muddy. Although the Jurchen military horse is strong, it is also gritting its teeth and persevering!
If the main force of the Nanren Yan Army can be solved earlier. Even if the southerner Yan Wang in the east is strong, the room for maneuver of the Western Route Army is unprecedented, and the rich Shaanxi is also open to the Western Route Army. But look at how long the Nanren Yan King can spend with Zong Han!
And the first line of the great river, according to the hands of the back. In the future, even if you hit Bianliang, the capital of the Southern Dynasties, along the river, it is not impossible!
The most important thing is that after having such a room for manoeuvre. The Jurchen Western Route Army no longer has to be crowded and cramped in small areas, tossing and turning. I can't say that all the ministries can entrench themselves in the rich places, so the good ones will loot first!
Amid the cheers and shouts of the Jurchen language around them, the Song army captives quietly raised their heads, looked at the hideous and ugly faces, and looked at the money rat tails that were wet in the rain.
Although they couldn't understand the Jurchen words, everyone had an ominous premonition. The main force of the Yan Yan Army, I'm afraid it's going to be over!
Could it be that the Western Army will not come to save the Yan Army? Who can save this situation? Who can save them from the Jurchen Tartars? (To be continued......)
