Chapter 273: The Battle of Shangjing No. 8

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The sun and shadow are slanting to the west, and the entire Shangjing venue is actually divided into four separate battlefields.

On the right flank of the Khitan defensive line, Yelu'an fell into a situation where he couldn't advance or retreat, and the class used the terrain and traps to pit Yelu'an for a long time, but the losses on both sides were not large.

On the battlefield southwest of Shangjing, the Donghai Murwei became more and more courageous, and the Bohai Infantry Regiment could also fight for a long time, but Tiance had an advantage in the forces invested in this battlefield, and both sides had their own strengths and weaknesses, so the stalemate was stalemate. For now, the Liao army is more optimistic.

In the other two battlefields, the Khitan shape was quite unfavorable.

On the left flank of the Khitan defensive line, Chai Rong gradually gained the upper hand. At the beginning, Sachel used the fake defeat to lure the three thousand desert northern fallen army to advance, and then five thousand Hui suddenly killed and scattered the desert northern army, but Chai Rong responded to the god and did not join the war group, but retreated to the south, if Hui Hui continued to chase and kill the defeated desert northern army, he was bound to sell his left side to Chai Rong, in order to avoid this result, they turned to attack Chai Rong, but the orphan army was in strict formation, and the three warriors fought bravely to kill the enemy, but they were pressed back by Chai Rong, and at the same time, the cavalry in the northern desert who had fled saw that they were gaining momentum, Under the organization of the backbone generals, the counterattack came back, and the five thousand Hui Hui were attacked, and they were defeated and retreated step by step.

And on the main battlefield that will really decide the outcome of the war, the decision between victory and defeat is already on the line.

The Khitan dispatched a large cone-line array composed of 80,000 troops, breaking through three major depths in a row, and its forward had broken through the fourth depth of the Tiance Chinese army, while the two wings were caught in the encirclement and suppression of the Tiance Chinese army and the elites of the two wings.

According to Li Bin's tactical plan of "blunting its forward and folding its two wings", the elite forces in the first three depths were concentrated on the two tips, and the center was broken through by the Khitan cavalry. The soldiers and horses on both sides were not confused, especially the two sharp elites, who made extremely powerful blocks on the two wings of the Khitan. Li Bin did not focus on the central blockade, which is one of the reasons why the Khitan was able to complete the central breakthrough so smoothly.

At the same time, Shi Jian and Guo Zhang, who were on the left and right flanks of Tiance, approached and attacked the Chinese army inside and outside. Encircled and suppressed the Khitan wings.

However, due to the rapid breakthrough of the first two depths in the heart of the abdomen, Li Bin was worried about Yang Yi's safety, so he temporarily adjusted the troop arrangement in the third depth, and the temporary change in the third depth increased the resistance to the central breakthrough of the abdomen, so that the Khitan heart was exhausted by the Longxiang Iron Armor Army before it came into contact with the fourth depth, but it also weakened Tiance's encirclement and suppression of the Khitan wings, so that the "folding wings" plan failed to achieve the desired results. On the contrary, the forward in the heart of the abdomen was frustrated and fell into the encirclement of the Eagle Yang Army.

Li Bin observed the entire battlefield, the current situation, Chai Rong's location was too far away, Li Bin couldn't observe it, and the battlefield in the south of the city saw a clue from afar, but as long as the men and horses arranged there by the Tiance Army were not defeated quickly. As for the battlefield in the west of the city, both in the center and on the two wings. Tiance has the upper hand, and the Khitan has been blunt. The two wings were trapped, but neither side had any chance of winning, and each side was in a stalemate.

Time passed little by little, and Li Bin was silently calculating each other's casualties on the viewing platform, expecting that as time went by, the odds of victory would become more and more inclined to his side. But just when he was secretly rejoicing, Shangjing actually opened a complete army again!

It is still the Khitan at the head, and the subordinate tribes are two wings, but it is a slightly smaller, but more compact cone array!

Li Bin's heart sank. I'm almost screaming!

During this time, the Tang and Liao sides tested each other, and both had already tried out the reality of each other's combat strength - but this reality was only an estimate, and neither side could accurately obtain the exact strength of the opponent.

Therefore, after the Liao army invested effective interception forces in the city, the left flank defense line, and the right flank defense line at the same time, and organized such a huge cone battle array, everyone naturally thought that it was the Khitan's killer weapon!

Who knew that the real killer was still to come!

30,000 cavalry, trotting forward, without saying a word, without a sound, rushed to the battlefield.

They didn't come fiercely, but they were saving horsepower and body!

It turned out that the central breakthrough completed by the 80,000-strong army in front was only to open the way for the follow-up men.

Now these 30,000 fresh forces are a real eagle slaughtering knife!

Li Bin's heart was almost sinking, and he immediately ordered the fifth depth to step forward for reinforcements, and he must ensure that the Khitan will be crippled before the 30,000 troops arrive at the battlefield! However, at this moment, among the Khitan cavalry that had already entered the fourth depth, suddenly a majestic order came out, and the originally extremely proud, rather than dying, changed the combat method in the order, and under one order after another, the Khitan hinterland, which still had more than 6,000 people left, turned to the defensive!

――――――――――

In Yunzhou City, post house.

Cao Yuanzhong ushered in a guest, Han Deshu.

The successive changes during this period of time made Cao Yuanzhong very worried, and he was not worried about his own safety - when Yelu Wuzhi invited him, Tang Liao was in the war stage of absolute deterioration of relations, so he was a wartime envoy. Liao is a country that is about to enter civilization with one foot, and there are some rules that are not expected to be disobeyed.

What Cao Yuanzhong is worried about is whether he can make a meritorious trip. The previous dream of taking sixteen states with a three-inch tongue and suppressing Xue Fu and Yang Yi is no longer done, but at least there must be some meritorious deeds that can be explained, otherwise his trip will become a joke.

When the country was prosperous, someone would send a pillow if he wanted to sleep, and when Cao Yuanzhong was still worried about this, Han Deshu came.

As soon as he saw Han Deshu, all the worries on Cao Yuanzhong's face disappeared, and he changed his face to a bamboo in his chest, looking at Han Deshu with some coldness. In fact, when it comes to talent, Han Deshu may not lose to Cao Yuanzhong, but he is not as good as others!

After retiring from others, the corners of Han Deshu's mouth showed a bit of flattery, almost saluting Cao Yuanzhong as a subordinate. Han Deshu has secretly surrendered to Zhang Mai, and people of Cao Yuanzhong's level also know about it.

"Ouch, how can I afford it, I should ask Mr. Han for a gift!"

"What did General Cao say, it made the villain angry." is used to bending his knees in front of the Khitans, and Han Deshu does not feel uncomfortable when he changes his object: "During this time, I am lowly to avoid suspicion." I don't dare to come to ask for peace often, and I am forced by the form, and I want to come to General Cao, who can understand. ”

Cao Yuanzhong smiled and said, "Understand, understand, I naturally understand!" But I don't know if the marshal can understand it. Bachelor Han has been in Liaoning for a long time. Except for the dispensable news revealed when he was in Luoyang, there was no news before and after, and the Privy Council was talking about Han Bachelor being a loyal minister of Da Liao! ”

is a loyal minister to Da Liao, and a traitor to Da Tang.

Hearing this, cold sweat oozed from Han Deshu's spine, and it was also a shame that he had been by Han Yanhui's side for a long time, knowing that most of the words that were as sharp as a knife were just a threat looking forward to reward, and said with a smile at the moment: "The lowly people are in the enemy country. Usually, the more low-key the better, so that the critical moment can play a big role. ”

Cao Yuanzhong said with a smile: "In this way, what is the big role of Master Han's coming today?" ”

Han Deshu didn't answer, and said: "With today's situation, what does the general think will be the situation in the future in Jinbei?" ”

Cao Yuanzhong said with a smile: "Xue Fu has already gone north, and the marshal is about to come south, so what kind of situation can it be." It must be the erosion of Shangjing. Then my Tiance army went south with the power of great victory, and there was an eagle in the north. There is a marshal in the west, what else can the situation be in the north of Jin? ”

I have to say that Cao Yuanzhong has been trained for so many years, and his insight and judgment in military affairs are also extremely accurate, and he has already hit Xue Fu's strategic intentions with these two sentences.

Han Deshu also has this judgment. But his face was still slightly unnatural, he collected his thoughts, and continued: "Yes, the battle of Shangjing only needs to be ...... As long as our army wins a big victory, then move south. Even if the marshal doesn't come, just with the power of this great victory, Jinbei will definitely change hands. But if Yunzhou is captured by then, General Cao, you and I will have no credit! ”

If he is arguing with words, he may not be able to win by arguing with heavenly strategy, and he will not be able to impress Cao Yuanzhong in the slightest, but the last sentence suddenly brought the positions of the two together!

Cao Yuanzhong's arrogance that he had deliberately put on was swept away, and his face sank and said, "What do you mean by this!" ”

Han Deshu smiled and said: "If you wait until Yingyang moves south and the marshal comes west, then Yunzhou will be broken again, what credit will General Cao have to say?" Not to mention the next -- that's what it means. In fact, you don't have to deliberately look at the humble face of the general, now in Yunzhou City, you and I are two grasshoppers on a rope, the general is a big grasshopper, and the lowly is a small grasshopper, as long as the general is in charge of the foreign affairs of the Northeast for one day, the lowly position is the soldier under the general. The general's affairs are smooth, and the lowly position can also be polished, on the contrary, if the lowly function is a little credit, in the end, the big head is not all the general's? ”

Cao Yuanzhong laughed and said, "I have heard for a long time that Han Zang will be a famous man tomorrow, and his son is really extraordinary!" Yan Gong, come out to meet Brother Han Shi! ”

Cao Yangong, who had been hiding behind the screen, walked out and saluted Han Deshu, there was a nephew hidden behind the screen Han Deshu didn't think it was strange, but Cao Yuanzhong called Cao Yangong out to talk to his peers, and faintly pulled himself to the same position as Han Yanhui in his words, that is, he regarded himself as an elder, Han Deshu couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable - Cao Yuanzhong was only in his thirties, less than a generation older!

Just now, Han Deshu claimed that he was humble, after all, Zhang Mai had not arranged a specific official position for him, and he casually asked Cao Yuanzhong to be happy, who knew that Cao Yuanzhong beat the snake with a stick, not only to recognize him as a subordinate, but also to be his father!

However, just for a moment, Han Deshu adjusted his mentality, with the current situation, Tiance has taken the lead again, if the battle of Shangjing is won, in case the Khitan is defeated, if the Han family wants to gain a foothold in Tiance, it must have strong reinforcements, don't say that Cao Yuanzhong is an elder, even if Cao Yangong is an elder, it is okay!

People like them who have been in Hudi for a long time have lost their upright and unyielding spirit, but this kind of "thick" character of "being able to bend and stretch" is beyond the reach of Fan Zhen, Wei Renpu and others, even the children of the Cao family are slightly inferior.

Therefore, when Cao Yangong wanted to bow down with him, Han Deshu had already bowed, and he could only worship Cao Yangong with him, bowed a bow, and then stood up, Han Deshu knelt down again, Cao Yangong had to kneel and bow, and so on again and again, the third time he stood up Han Deshu bowed again, Cao Yangong was a little surprised, glanced at Cao Yuanzhong, saw that Cao Yuanzhong was also hesitant, and then nodded, and then continued, the two bowed to each other eight times in a row, and became friends of eight worships.

There are these eight prayers. In the future, the two will have the basis of etiquette to become close friends - of course, whether they really want to become a real deep friendship depends on the needs of both parties.

But after eight worships, Han Deshu's title for Cao Yuanzhong also changed and became an uncle.

Cao Yuanzhong saw that he knew what to do, and said in his heart: "Yan Gong is considered the top among the juniors of my Cao family. But when it comes to forbearance, it's even inferior to him. However, he did not have a sense of crisis because of this, the Cao family was within the Tiance regime, and the real competitors were the family of the old Anxi department, as well as the new Jin who had just joined the Central Plains. Even if the Han family returns to the Tang Dynasty in the future, it will not be able to threaten its own family for the time being with the weak foundation of its successors, and looking at the Han family's style, it is "like-minded" with himself, if the Han family can really enter the Tiance regime in the future and make meritorious contributions. It is not unavoidable to be cited as allies.

I agreed with a smile on my face.

After colluding with such personal friends for a long time, Han Deshu said: "I came here today because I have a credit to give to my uncle." ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "The Khitan is ready to abandon Yunzhou?" ”

Han Deshu pretended to be surprised and said, "How did Uncle know!" ”

Cao Yuanzhong said with a smile: "It's just speculation according to the shape, what's so difficult about this!" ”

Han Deshu looked admiring and said: "The abandonment of Yunzhou by the Khitan is a foregone conclusion, but there is a dispute about who to abandon it. That's when he said that Yeluwu had a change of heart. ”

Cao Yangong said: "How did Brother Dao say that he moved the Yelu house? ”

Han Deshu said: "Brother Fool impressed him with the situation: if Yunzhou returns to Jin, then Daidi will be connected with Taiyuan." The momentum of the Jin army is bound to rise, so it is better to return to the Tang Dynasty - Yunzhou to the Tang Dynasty, then the northern Jin Dynasty will become a dog's tooth staggered trend, and the two families will have disputes, and the Khitan forces in Youyun will be able to retreat. Jerod was moved by my words, so he ordered me to come and negotiate. ”

Cao Yangong for a while. Just secretly sighed at Han Deshu's intellectual argument, Cao Yuanzhong's thoughts were much deeper than his nephew's after all, he thought about it slightly, and said: "Liaojin is already a secret alliance, if the Khitan just retreats." Shi Jin didn't necessarily attack them. Yelu will be moved by what you say, it should be that the Khitan is still going to do something, for fear of being disturbed, right? ”

Han Deshu also admired Cao Yuanzhong so far, and he did not hide it, and said: "Yes, Yelu Shuogu will do great things, and when he retreats, he will move hundreds of thousands of Han people in Youzhou eastward to the northeast. ”

Cao Yuanzhong and Cao Yangong heard this, and their faces couldn't help but change slightly!

――――――――――――

Outside the capital city, the main battlefield in the east.

Yang Yi was unable to take care of the entire battle situation after the battle, but as the news came from the viewing platform, he also knew that the Khitan had a new wave of central breakthrough attacks.

Yang Yi's heart was awe-inspiring, originally the Eagle Yang Army was trapped and dragged Duo Kuo, the time was on Tiance's side, the longer it dragged on, the more dull the forward in the abdomen and heart became! It is impossible to fight for a long time with such an explosive general.

Who knew that the Khitan still had a backhand, so the original arrangement had to be changed.

War is like this, there will be all kinds of changes in an instant, Yang Yi did not panic, led the entire Eagle Yang Division, and accelerated the killing of the six thousand heart forwards. However, the arrangement of slow fighting, which was originally made, had to be reversed abruptly, and orders could be issued, but the overall formation in the battle could not be drastically changed.

The cone-shaped war of the forward in the heart of the heart has long been distorted by the Eagle Yang Army, and even more than thirty percent of the troops have been cut and surrounded, and the formation is in chaos.

However, the heart of the abdomen is the heart of the abdomen after all, although it is not chaotic when it falls into the siege of cutting, even if it becomes a small army, it still has its own ability to fight.

The second cone formation of the Khitan is approaching, and the signal has already come out in the Baye Department scattered in the forefront, judging from the signal, Yang Yi knows that the Khitan is not moving fast, but he has not stopped a step. The first round of the Cone Formation Khitan Cavalry has completed the central breakthrough, and the second Cone Formation attack is to rely on the results of the comrades in front of them, stepping on the corpses of the same clan to advance, and the ultimate goal -

It's Yang Yi!

――――――――――

The lethality of the Eagle Yang Iron Cavalry is so strong, after changing tactics, in two quarters of an hour, more than half of the abdomen and hearts that were cut and scattered were knocked down, close to a thousand Khitan abdomen or wounded, the Eagle Yang Army is no better than Long Xiang Iron Armor, they have been in the frontier for a long time, they are ruthless, the ** hundred Khitan people are happy to die, but the ones who are not dead are worse than the dead, or lie on the horse and suffer, or turn on the ground and wait for the horse's hooves to trample, and after completely losing their combat effectiveness, they can only wait for the harvest of the Han family!

No one cares about them, and the entire Yingyang core army will use all the remaining strength to encircle and suppress the Khitan generals!

However, the Tuo Duo Kuo, who had just charged into the front line, was now cowering in the center of the heart of the hinterland of more than 4,000 Khitans, and his black dragon broke through three lines of defense in a row. When he rushed into the fourth depth, he was already tired, and he was troubled by Yang Yi for a while, even though he was a black dragon divine horse, he couldn't bear it, and he couldn't stop breathing even when he stopped there!

If you look at the "common sense" of conventional tactics, the Khitan actually committed several taboos in the use of cavalry this time. The heavy cavalry opened the way, regardless of the charge, regardless of the horsepower, and also thanks to the fact that there was no heavy infantry in the Mobei Expeditionary Force that specifically dealt with the cavalry, which failed to form an interception with absolute restraint in the attribute, but no matter how elite the cavalry, even if it was dressed in iron armor, it was not iron-beaten after all, and it broke three formations in a row, and the body was tired early. And once the cavalry loses its horsepower and mobility, it becomes inferior to the infantry!

Although there are still 4,000 people, even though they are known as the first elite of the northern country, they seem to have no power to fight back under the siege of the Eagle Yang Army at this time.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the men and horses were tired from breaking three depths in a row just now, and the more than 4,000 people who were trapped in the siege looked hopeless. But more than 4,000 people were still leaning together, and at this time they had no position at all. Just with tenacity, with perseverance. Fight to the death!

There is no way back for them!

The Khitan, who has been proud for two hundred years, has survived the oppression of the Turks, survived the torture of Li Tang, and has become the overlord of Mobei, but in a few years, he was forced to this point by Tiance, and the battle line was even pushed to the capital!

Behind it is Shangjing. If you lose Shangjing again, then Mobei will be lost forever!

The Khitan can't be defeated yet!

I can't die yet!

Even on this battlefield, you can't fall yet!

Because they still have a hope--

A long roar like wind and thunder came from the east!

It was a chorus of more than 20,000 people, the sound neat and mighty, almost every hundred steps. The Khitans will shout like this!

Every shout brings hope to the four thousand Khitans who are in a desperate situation!

Yang Yi didn't need to pass the news in front or from the viewing platform, and when he heard the shouting, he knew where the second round of cone formation was approaching!

The enemy army did not come quickly, but walking on the battlefield that had been swept once, it was almost a real soldier - the 9,000 hinterland broke through the third depth, but there were still nearly 10,000 hinterlands, leading the Tieli and the Blockade, where they fought with the Longxiang Iron Armored Army, and made it impossible for the Tang army to form a strict formation, maintaining a passage for subsequent reinforcements.

――――――――――

"Sons!" Thirteen arrows were thrown into his body, and the black dragon was also bleeding all over his body, and a small part of his body was dyed red, but the man and horse bathed in blood were still standing, shouting in the army: "My Daliao reinforcements are near, close!" Did you hear that? ”

Thousands of people shouted at the same time: "I heard you! ”

At this time, the 10,000 people in the east roared again!

"That's right! That's the sound! "Let's hold on a little longer!" Persist until the reinforcements arrive, it is Yang Yi's death! ”

Thousands of Khitans responded to the call of the Tuo Duo with all their might, and many of them even pushed away their wounded horses and blocked the perimeter, fighting back-to-back with their comrades to defend themselves against the impermanence of the Eagle Riding Iron Horse!

"At this time, if there is a Mo sword battle axe array!"

On the viewing platform, Li Bin was entangled in his heart! If there was a Mo Sword and Battle Axe Formation here at this time, even if there were only five hundred people, and they just pushed it sideways, it would be such a magnificent sight!

But the main composition of the Eagle Yang Army is also light cavalry, and in the face of this group of 4,000 people who defend themselves like hedgehogs, they can only cut into them layer by layer like peeling an apple!

One meter and nine more than a dozen dragged Duo Kuo sat on the black dragon that was a head taller than an ordinary war horse, like a natural benchmark, at this moment he was no longer a fierce general who charged, but became a banner, as long as he stood tall, the heart of the four thousand belly will be stubbornly resistant!

――――――――――

Ten thousand people are shouting and approaching again!

Listen to the sound is already close to the third depth!

But they still didn't charge. The Longxiang Iron Armored Army had already divided a part of its forces to intercept and harass them, but the Khitan hinterland in the third depth immediately reacted!

This is the result of how many warriors' lives they have paid to achieve the battle, how can they give up lightly!

Just when the second wave of the cone formation reached the third depth, the tone of the 10,000-strong roar suddenly changed, and the sound of horses' hooves suddenly became loud! The first to rush up were the two wings of the second cone formation!

The two wings are a new force to open the way! Swiftly broke through the already chaotic third depth!

Then, in the Khitan crowd, a shocking scream suddenly broke out: "Your Majesty! ι™›xiΓ ! ”

"ι™›xiΓ ! ι™›xiΓ ! ”

"Your Majesty is here!"

"Your Majesty has enlisted!"

Hardly any other explanation is needed. Everybody knows what's going on.

Jerod Light is out of the city! And, in the middle of the second round of the cone offensive!

All the Khitans, all the Xi people, all the Hui people, all of them are like falling into madness!

They roared and howled. It's like chicken blood is all over the place!

Even the more than 3,000 people trapped in the Eagle Yang Army were all in high spirits, and those who were already powerless would suddenly rise up and kill people violently!

――――――――――

When Yang Yi heard this call, he also knew that he couldn't wait.

But the more than 3,000 Khitan hearts gathered together are as hard as stones!

That's the heart of the belly, not a ragtag army! Although tired and tired, in the case of desperate efforts, it is still a combat force that cannot be underestimated!

The battle is here. The Eagle Yang Army has also done its best, and every time you want to speed up a step forward, you must pay a huge price!

But now that price must be paid!

"Kill! Kill me! Before the light of Jerod arrives, take the rank of Dragoraduo! ”

Ninety generals heard the order to open the way, Yang Yi came to supervise the battle, the Khitan people blocked the pace of the Han people with human lives, and the Eagle Yang Army also began to exchange human lives for the degree of advancement!

The war has reached this point where there is no room for shortcuts. It depends on who is more ruthless and who is more tenacious. Who is more dead!

Pulling Duo Kuo watched one by one of his comrades die in front of his eyes, his heart and liver were about to crack, he turned his head, looked back at the brother who rode a bantam monster horse, and said angrily: "You still don't make a move!" ”

The bantam immediately touched the longbow in his hand for a long time. Said lightly: "Of course! Even if all my belly and heart are dead, my target is only one person, you know! ”

――――――――――

Watching the soldiers fall one by one, Li Binxin on the viewing platform was also dripping blood, because among the fallen soldiers. Veterans of the old Anzai department have been constantly appearing!

For the current Tiance Datang, every veteran soldier who came from the west of the Green Ridge is not only a treasure in the army, but also a pillar of the country, and even the relatives of all the old people of Anxi!

Every loss of an Anxi deceased is an immeasurable loss to this country and this army!

―――――――――――

And at this moment, another violent roar came from the east!

Then there was the doubling of the sound of horses' hooves!

The last 10,000 hives finally began to ride their horses and make their final attack!

This was not only their final attack on this battlefield - it was even the last attack of this people!

A hundred years of success or failure, all in the service!

――――――――――――

"It's almost there!"

Looking at the gradually yellowing sun, Ding Hanshan said to Xue Fu.

Needless to say, Xue Fu himself knew it was comingβ€”even if he didn't know the way!

The return of the soldiers who heard the ground just now from Ma Humeng was already able to hear an unusual vibration from the north!

The war must have begun, and it must be the galloping of six-figure horses to cause such a shock!

However, looking around, all the men are exhausted!

How many war horses have died along the way?

Even if the sweaty BMW didn't get sick, and this kind of rush had to come to this point, this BMW group would definitely be wiped out!

But Xue Fu still ordered: "All forward!" ”

"Still all moving forward?" Ma Humeng never questioned Xue Fu, and at this time he couldn't help but say: "In our state, even if we really arrive, can we still fight?" ”

Now he is so tired that he is about to lie down, and he really wants to continue to hurry, and when he reaches the battlefield, he is afraid that a three-year-old child can push himself down!

Xue Fu didn't answer him, looked up at the dusk twilight, and didn't explain, but just resolutely ordered: "All forward!" You can be tired to death, you can't get out of the team! Those who leave the team are killed! Pointing to the north, he shouted: "Go!" ”
