Hucheng (called the imperial capital by the Khitan people) in Shangjing of Liaoguo has two inner and outer cities, and the outer city has four gates of North Gongchen, South Dashun, East Dong'an, and West Qiande. However, the direction is not correct, the Qiande Gate facing west is biased to the northwest, and the Tiance Tang army arrived here and happened to see it.

Seeing that the Tang army was coming, the ghost-faced army retreated behind, and the two brothers of Tuo Duo Kuo and Tuo Jie Li asked for battle at the same time, and said in Tuo Lajieli: "Your Majesty, the Han people are all bullying the door, do we really want to learn from the turtle to defend to the death?" It's better to take advantage of Yang Yi's main force before it arrives and destroy their strikers in one go! ”

Yelu Deguang shouted: "The decision to go to war, you have the right to speak!" Still think that the first battle in Guanzhong was not shameful enough? ”

In the first battle of Guanlong last year, the three heroes in the heart of the abdomen will all be wiped out, and the brother of the Tu Lahua is the brother in the reconciliation of Duo Kuo! This is not just a shame, it is definitely a blood feud!

Yelupode also said: "The reality of the Tang Army is still unclear, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Ghost Face Army will be defeated in the first battle, so let's take a look for the time being." ”

The dragging brothers couldn't fight, and retreated angrily.

On the day when the Tiance striker arrived outside the capital of Shangjing, there was no fighting between the two sides.

——————————

Guo Zhang finished stampede during the day, returned to the camp at night, and discussed with Wei Fei and Yelu An: "It is said that Hu'er is good at attacking, and the Han people are good at defending, but now the offensive and defensive situation is reversed, and seeing that the capital of the Khitan is here, what do you have to build?" ”

Yelu Anjun said: "The Khitan since the Emperor Abaoji, the east and the west, only the Khitan to fight others, has not been beaten to Linhuang Mansion, so the gold beads in the city are piled up, luxurious, but the city defense is not very good, the city wall is high but not thick, the enemy tower is few, and the corresponding fortifications are also insufficient. Behind the outer walls was a wasteland. ”

Guo Zhang said: "We are the vanguard cavalry, how can there be that!" Not to mention artillery, even the craftsmen who make artillery, we don't have it in the vanguard army, even if the follow-up soldiers and horses arrive, it is useless. Look at the bare land around you, how can there be trees for us to cut down? ”

The so-called cannon in this era is actually a trebuchet, the trebuchet is simple in principle, easy to make, but extremely bulky, and there are few armies that carry catapults for thousands of miles, usually just with a few key parts, such as elastic ropes and the like. and processing tools, and then brought craftsmen who knew how to make zuò catapults, and when they arrived at the place, they ordered the craftsmen of the army to make artillery from local materials to attack the city.

The Tiance Tang Army's stone artillery and fire artillery are unparalleled in the world, and the development and application of thermal weapons have been at the forefront of the world. However, the structure of this force to conquer Mobei was a little biased, and the original purpose was to expedition to Mobei, so all the troop allocations made way for this goal. The main ones were light cavalry and mounted infantry, and a batch of oil refining bombs was also brought. But there was no follow-up supply, and it quickly ran out. As for other powerful heavy weapons and heavy equipment, if you can not bring it, Shi Ba is a frontal attack, and he also brought some, and Yang Yi is a thousand miles away. All traveled lightly.

There are not many possibilities for siege warfare in the Mobei area, and the number of heavy infantry and craftsman teams is very small, which is also one of the important reasons why the Tiance regime is trying to open up the passage between Mobei and Mobei. Aiming at the weaknesses of the Tiance Tang Army, maybe it will be defeated at any time.

Jeredian said, "If there is no cannon, you can use fire." ”

"There's nowhere to burn the fire." Guo Zhang said: "Don't say these useless. ”

Yelu'an said, "If it doesn't work, we have to wait for the arrival of the follow-up army." ”

Guo Zhang snorted and said, "How could I not know that we can't attack the city?" If it weren't for your previous defeat, we would have waited here for a long time. But you lost the battle. We fought here from Xiaojinshan, it was a winning streak of thousands of miles, and even the dangerous battle like slashing the beach has survived, you can't vent your momentum here, you lose for a while, I have to at least get back a game! So we have to fight here! Besides, the task of the vanguard troops is to open roads and fill bridges in the mountains and waters, and when the enemy is unpredictable, they have to measure the enemy's reality and reality, and if they do not fight a battle, how can they know whether the enemy is virtual or real? ”

He is the son of Guo Shiyong, and among the second generation of Guo Yang's children, although he is not as outstanding as Guo Luoyang Yi, he has fought over the years, and he is also very routine when it comes to tactics.

"But you can't attack the city, how can you fight?"

"If you can't attack the city, let's have a field battle." Guo Zhang said: "Before your military horses drove to the city that day, the Khitan went out of the city to meet you, and when our three-way army met, the Khitan would not dare to go out of the city." I think they are strong on the outside, and they don't know the bottom of their hearts. Maybe the 2,000 cavalry that faced you that day will be the last of their lives. If this is the case, then the Khitan left 2,000 people here to drag us along, and there must be another serious plan. Turning back to cover the army, will I be seen by my brothers, 30,000 people are so frightened by 2,000 people that we dare not fight, we will be laughed at for the rest of our lives! ”

After the migration of large military and civilian troops, and a small number of strong soldiers were left behind, the Anxi Tang Army did this more than once during the return to the east - Guo Shidao, the old head of the Guo family, was the most important battle of the Anxi Tang Army! People will always habitually judge others according to their own situation, and this is true of the Khitan, and the same is true of the Tang people.

"But what if we can't storm the city?" Wei Fei said: "Although the two wings of the military camps in the left rear and right rear of the capital city are more capable of one blow, no matter which wing is attacked, the flank will definitely be sold to the Liao army. ”

"If you can't attack the city, you might as well lure the enemy into a field battle." Guo Zhang said: "Tomorrow, we will send 5,000 tribal troops to the Qiande Gate to scold and fight, let them shout the most vicious words, take out the worst military appearance, and see if the Khitan dares to go out of the city." If the Khitan dare not go out of the city, we will make another plan, if the Khitan dare to go out of the city, we can let the lure army be defeated. ”

He took out a map, which was made by the people of the camp last winter after they returned from the Ghost Face Army's sweep of Linhuang Mansion. Guo Zhang pointed to a hill in the northwest outside Shangjing City and said, "Does this small hill have a name?" ”

Yelu'an said: "This is Yunmen Mountain, although it is low, because it is close to Beijing, it is also a good place to go out." Originally, there was a Buddhist temple on the mountain, but this time when we came, the temple was empty, and even the Buddha statue was demolished. ”

Guo Zhang said: "We will ambush the men and horses on the mountain. Let the defeated tribal army pass from the bottom of the mountain, so that they are not afraid of being impulsively defeated by us, but we will kill from the mountain, unless the Khitan dispatches 10,000 leather rooms, otherwise we will win this battle! If the Khitan really dispatched such a luxurious lineup to deal with us, we will retreat when the time comes. There is no shame either. They can't help us. ”

Guo Zhang and Wei Fei's right arrow battalion and left arrow battalion are the leading cavalry and archery troops in the Tiance Tang Army, so this arrangement is the strength of the cavalry archery, and Shangjing is located in a large plain, from here to the northwest for more than 100 miles, there is no enough pass to hinder the cavalry, and they are not afraid of being surrounded. Pat your ass and walk.

Wei Fei said: "This arrangement is not bad, but since we are a tentative attack, don't put our minds together, there is also a weathered rock forest opposite Yunmen Mountain, you lead troops to ambush on the mountain, General An Yan leads troops to ambush in the rock forest, I retreat five miles and collect the defeated deserters." So that the two of you come first. After I was there, it became an inverted triangle bag. You are the mouth of the bag, I am the bottom of the bag, when the shape is good, you light the green fireworks, I will go forward to surround and annihilate, and when the shape is not good, you light the red fireworks. I'll answer otherwise. ”

The two discussed and agreed, and Yelu Anjun had nothing to say.

The next day, 5,000 tribal cavalry were sent to run to the Qiande Gate, and the Khitans in the city just ignored it. The cavalry of the five thousand tribes scolded, but the northern tribe of Mobei is a shallow clan, whether it is Khitan, enemy martyrdom or obstruction, how many curses can there be? Coming and going is just a few words

Guo Zhang was also very bored when he listened to it later.

At noon, the 5,000 tribal cavalry did not retreat, but set up tents outside the city, some took a nap, some enjoyed the cool, and some even built small stoves to cook and eat!

When the army in the leather room in the city saw it, they were extremely angry! The Khitan warriors have been spanning for decades, when have they ever been so insulted at home? If it's Zhang Mai and Yang Yi, it doesn't matter, but looking at the banner from afar, a Guo, a Wei, and a Yelu An, what kind of things are they!

Although Guo Zhang and Wei Fei also made great achievements last year, Yang Yi's light was too strong, there were no stars under the sun, and their aura did not reach the point of Shi Ba and Xi Sheng, so it was easy to be ignored.

In the last year, not to mention the dragging brothers, even Yelu Deguang had already led people out to kill them. But last year's big defeat at the same time set back Yerod's ambitions. But he has grown a lot in terms of mental forbearance.

At this time, Yelu Deguang pointed to the five thousand tribal cavalry outside the city and said, "What kind of trick are the Han people going to use!" ”

Dragger roared, "This is an insult! This is a naked insult! ”

But Jerupod said: "This is not an insult, this is a lure!" They did this to lure us out of the city to fight, and these men and horses were crushed as soon as they rushed, but they had other men and horses who could fight in the shadows, and they would kill us when we got out of the city. I heard the story of the Han people told us by Yashi, and their famous general, Han Xin, used this strategy to achieve a great victory. Although he knew that it was a plan, if he didn't respond, he was afraid that it would affect the morale of the city. ”

Yerod said coldly: "Lure us into battle? My heart will not be worse than Sima Yi, but the opposite side is not Zhuge Liang! ”

What he is talking about is Zhuge Liang's classic battle against Sima Yi, when Zhuge Liang was in the middle of the army, the support was weak, Sima Yi was bent on dragging Zhuge to death, Zhuge Liang couldn't fight in every way, so he sent someone to send a set of women's clothes to Sima Yi, ridiculing Sima Yi for not being a man.

Who knows that Sima Yi not only accepted his clothes, but even put them on in front of the envoy, no matter how Zhuge Liang provoked the generals, he just didn't fight.

With the popularity of the "Three Kingdoms" in the past two years, there are many Khitan people who have heard this story, like the Tula brothers have no culture, but the more uneducated, the more they like to listen to the ancients.

Yelud Guangdao: "How can this plan be broken?" ”

Jerupod said: "The point of this plan is that I am strong and weak, or set a trap. To break this plan, there is nothing else, that is, to sweep away the trap and break the strong with the strong. The outside of the city is open and unobstructed, and it is difficult to set effective traps, and all that is fought is the strength and weakness of the two armies. ”

Yelu Deguang sneered: "If Yang Yi arrives, I still hesitate, a few pioneers, dare to lure my army out of the city?" ”

Yelupode said: "It's not clear who the commander of the enemy army is, but the other party has Yeluan, and he is not a stupid person." Don't do anything too stupid. This time the lure battle is mostly a test war, and it is necessary to test the reality of our army. The other side is cavalry, and if our army is exhausted, they will flee in fear. I don't know if His Majesty just wanted to drive these flies away, or if it hurt them. Let Yang Yi know that he is afraid! ”

Yerod said abruptly: "What do you say! ”

Jerupod said: "If you want to beat them with a pain, we can also arrange a counter-lure army, do not go out of the city today, and do not go out of the city tomorrow, consume the patience of the other party, and at dusk the day after tomorrow, look at the sunset, and then take 2,000 soldiers and horses, put on the armor of the leather room." Ride a good horse and dress up and go out of the city," he pointed to the Yunmen Mountain as far as his eyes could see: "Yunmen Mountain was burned by us to the point that there was no grass left, and there was nothing left on it. As soon as our army left the city. Most of the tribal armies under the city will be defeated from there and pass through Yunmen Mountain. The men and horses on the mountain will rush down, and then our soldiers and horses can make a big surprise and fight and retreat. Retreat to 200 steps in front of the Qiande Gate, if the Tang army does not leave, then the army will drive out violently, and you can give them a ruthless blow! ”

Yerod said, "Okay." Just do this, but let which one go out of the city and fail? ”

Yelu said: "The enemy martyr department is very loyal and brave, and after they were impulsively defeated by Xue Fu last year, he was able to gather his subordinates even though they were defeated. It is possible. ”

"Okay, then let him go." Yerod patted the shoulder of the priest and said softly: "The evening after tomorrow is the first battle of your revenge, and when the time comes, you will come back with a few more levels for your brother!" ”

He was overjoyed and shouted, "Your Majesty don't worry! The last general will definitely take the enemy general level and come back to receive the merit! ”

————————————

On this day, the Khitan really did not fight, and the next day did not fight, the soldiers and horses in the city heard that they were going to fight the day after tomorrow, and the morale was not affected, and they were all strong soldiers and horses to prepare, but the lure army outside the city became more and more tired, and even the shouting and shouting became perfunctory.

Guo Zhang was also a little anxious to wait, convened a meeting of the three generals, and said: "The Khitan didn't dare to fight!" General An, you are a Khitan, tell me what the truth is. ”

Yelu'an said: "Although this plan to lure the enemy into battle is simple and easy to see, according to the Khitan tradition, even if you know that it is a plan, as long as you can still fight, you will go out of the city desperately." ”

Guo Zhang's eyes lit up: "So, the defenders in the city are powerless to fight?" The Liao army discharged such a formation, is it a bluff? ”

Yeluan said, "It's possible. It's better to wait another day or two, though. If there is any change, it should be in these two days. In addition, tomorrow will be the most mentally exhausted time for our army, and if there are wise generals in the opposing city, they will definitely choose to attack tomorrow, so you must be careful tomorrow! ”

Guo Zhang smiled: "Okay." However, I think the Khitan is a bluff, I just don't know what they are going to do, but they have to find out quickly, and they can't be dragged down like this! ”

——————————

On the third day, the Tang army had no response in the city for three consecutive days, and the more slack, Guo Zhang sent an order to everyone to be careful, and the soldiers and generals cheered up, and after a whole day passed, there was still nothing to do.

At this moment, the Qiande Gate of Shangjing suddenly opened, and a group of more than 2,000 soldiers and horses rushed out! They had already accumulated enough momentum in Chengli, and at this time, they rushed out in one breath and killed the tribe outside the city like they were luring the army and chopping vegetables!

These tribal soldiers who are luring the army are not very strong in combat, not to mention that the whole person is lazy at this time, how can they fight back? The five thousand men were beaten by two thousand and scattered in an instant.

Fortunately, the leader's brain is still clear, although he was ordered to cheat and defeat, but now he is really defeated but also defeated, and he ran in the direction of Yunmen Mountain in a fit of anger, and the leader fled, and his subordinates all fled, and the Liao army soldiers and horses were fierce and did not lose the law, chasing the defeated soldiers to Yunmen Mountain.

Guo Zhang saw it on Yunmen Mountain, and was not surprised or overjoyed, and while ordering his subordinates to prepare for an ambush, he called a Khitan guide and asked, "What kind of military horse do you think that is?" ”

The Khitan guide is the old department of Yelu'an, who is familiar with Khitan affairs, borrowed a clairvoyant mirror to look at it, and said: "Look at this armor, it should be the leather room army." ”

Guo Zhang said with a smile: "As soon as it comes out, it will be the leather room, and it seems that the city is also this combat power." ”

Weathered rock forest. Yelu'an's lieutenant said: "As soon as it comes out, it is a leather room, and now our Khitan leather room is worthless!" ”

The Khitan Pi Room Army was originally called the Heart of the Belly Division, which was originally only about 1,000 horsemen, and was created by Yelu Abaoji, gathering the strongest warriors of the whole clan to form an army, in terms of the same number. Later, with the gradual expansion of Khitan power, the size of the hinterland gradually expanded, and in the hands of Yelu Deguang, the army renamed the leather room army has expanded to about 30,000 people, and after the defeat last year, it lost a lot of men and horses, and after returning to Linhuang Mansion, it was supplemented, and it still maintains a scale of nearly 30,000 people.

Yeluan said: "Look at the armor like it, but feel the time to act." Something isn't right. ”

After all, he is a high-ranking general, and his vision is not comparable to that of ordinary guides who are familiar with Khitan affairs, but he is far away, and the time is urgent, so he can't see through it for a while.

The group of defeated soldiers couldn't fight, they fled quite quickly, and they didn't wait long to run to the foot of Yunmen Mountain and didn't stop. The trail passed under the Yunmen Mountain, and continued to look northwest and escape. At this time, the Liao army had already rushed to the front. After the middle of the desertion, it has been cemented with the Liao army, Guo Zhang did not wait for the horses to pass out, so he ordered the right arrow battalion to beat the drum, the drum sounded, and the three thousand cavalry of the left arrow battalion roared together, and rushed down from the mountain!

Over there, in the weathered rock forest, Yelu'an heard the sound of drums on the mountain. Rushed out too!

——————————

The more than 2,000 people of the Liao army are the enemy martyrs, and they still do not abandon the Khitan in times of crisis, but they are the elite of the enemy martyrs, and their combat effectiveness is extremely not weak, and they have recently changed their armor. Morale is high!

When they were in the city, Jerupod had already told them that they would encounter an ambush when they went, so they were not nervous when Guo Zhang rushed down from the mountain, and still drove the defeated army towards the incoming army.

Guo Zhang's right arrow battalion is also the elite troops of Tiance, although it is not as famous as the Modao Battle Axe Array and the Sweat and Blood Cavalry Regiment, but it can come and go like the wind, shoot arrows immediately, and have its own irreplaceable place in tactical value, the most adept at harassing the enemy's flank, attacking the enemy will be defeated, in recent years, the southern and northern wars, hand-to-hand combat is not weak, but after all, it cannot be as powerful as the iron beast army of Shiba, and the enemy's two thousand cavalry are not weak, plus there are chaotic defeated soldiers to obstruct, although they rush down from the mountain, they can't even rush the opponent's position!

Guo Zhang, who chased the Khitan for thousands of miles last year, was powerless, and deep down in his heart had actually sprouted a contempt for the Liao army. ”

At this time, Yelu Anjun led the Ghost Face Army to rush out again, and the combat strength of the three armies was comparable to that of the close cavalry, but the Tang Army was nearly three times that of the Liao Army in terms of numbers, fighting more than 2,000 people with more than 6,000 people, and the enemy was defeated when the enemy was defeated.

Guo Zhangxin said: "If you continue to fight like this, you can defeat the enemy, but you can't wipe them all!" The rush unleashed a green firework, which stood out in the sky as it was already dusk.

——————————

The head of the city, Yerod, also saw the fireworks and said, "What is this signal?" ”

Yelu said: "It must be the signal agreed by the Tang Army itself, and most of it is to enter the army." The Tang army has already driven to the vicinity of Shangjing, and there are about 30,000 men and horses, and now less than 7,000 have been put into the battlefield, and the rest of the men and horses are probably about to be dispatched. ”

Wei Fei in the rear has already reorganized the scattered soldiers and horses, at this time with the left arrow battalion as the center, there are 10,000 horsemen on the left and right - all of them are tribal troops, because Guo Zhang and Yelu An are in ambush, so the tribal army under his command is temporarily handed over to him to command, with Wei Fei's qualifications, in Qinxi is the commander of thousands of people, but he has never tried to command a large force of more than 20,000 people at once, at this time he was also excited in his heart, pointed to the southeast, and shouted: "Kill!" ”

——————————

When Wagan Liang saw the fireworks, he knew that it was not good, and he couldn't resist the enemy, so he shouted: "Withdraw, withdraw!" ”

Only then did the Liao army retreat, and the two thousand enemy martyrs were very brave, although they still insisted on fighting when they retreated, they were defeated but not defeated, and retreated but did not disperse.

Guo Zhang's more and more courageous he became, his horse rampage, cut the Liao army into several pieces, and divided his forces, with 500 horsemen each out of the melee formation, shooting the enemy on both wings, this time he waved his right arrow battalion's specialty, although this Han cavalry archery team is not as good as the iron beast, can make the enemy suffer heavy losses in a short period of time with strong melee lethality, and there is no sweat and blood cavalry regiment to collapse the enemy formation with lightning-like degrees, but it can weaken the enemy's combat power piece by piece like a knife face, and because of keeping a distance, The Left Arrow Battalion and the Right Arrow Battalion have always had the lowest casualty rates in the entire Tiance Tang Army.

——————————

Yelupode had never fought head-on with the Tiance Tang Army, and when he saw it at the head of the city, he was amazed and said, "Among the Tang Army, there are still such cavalry and archery troops?" ”

The Khitan cavalry and archery is unparalleled in the world, and almost everyone in the entire leather room army can ride and shoot, but the riding and archery ability cannot be as strong as the left arrow battalion and the right arrow battalion, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry, but even if you want to find soldiers with the same strong cavalry and archery combat power, there are more Khitan than the Han army. However, Yelupod has always thought that mounted archery is the specialty of the Hu people, but he did not expect such an army to emerge among the Han people.

Yelupode asked Yelu in the lesson: "Among the Tiance Tang army, how many military horses are like this?" ”

Yelu glanced at the battlefield and said: "The Modao battle axe we encountered in Qinxi is so tight, it is simply impossible to penetrate the needle and splash water, otherwise we would not have used a small number of troops to withstand the attack of the elite of our leather room, and made us pay a great price." The sharpness of the sweat and blood cavalry regiment is also difficult, and it is rare that there are almost no flaws in the fierce impact, as for the people and horses in front of them, although they are vigorous, they are frivolous! This military brain is not enough to be a famous general. ”

Yelupode nodded, and said, "Even so, it is still not something that the enemy can resist. ”

Jeruza said, "If it weren't for the small number of people, the enemy might not have lost." ”

Yelupode said: "Under the same force of the impact battle, the enemy martyr department does not necessarily lose, but the characteristics of the cavalry archery are smart, and what is more rare is that this soldier and horse are also quite capable of close combat, if this soldier and horse go and fight, there is a small half a day to cut the enemy martyr to blood, and then close to the front, even if the strength is equal, you can also defeat the enemy martyr." It's just a pity that they didn't use this army correctly. ”

Jeruza said with a smile: "It's not that it's useless, but they want to annihilate the enemy's martyrs, so they can only give up the long and short." If you rely on cavalry shooting, although you can reduce your own losses, this will make the enemy afraid that they will flee back early. ”

At this time, the enemy army outside the city had fallen into a very miserable situation in Guo Zhang's encirclement and suppression, although they were still moving towards Qiandemen, but their movement had become very slow. It was only two miles away from the city gate, but he couldn't come back.

And in the northwest direction, there is a large army gradually approaching, that is Wei Fei has arrived!

Jeruza said: "Although this Han general cannot be compared with Xi Sheng and Xue Fu, he is not bad. How's it going, are reinforcements going to be sent? ”

Yelupode sighed: "I didn't expect the enemy martyrs to be dragged to this point, this distance, but it is still a little far. ”

Jeruza said, "But we can't wait any longer, for if we continue like this, the enemy will be dragged to death outside the city." Those who can escape are the rout. ”

Yelupode thought for a while, and said to Yeludeguang: "Your Majesty, please change your previous plan slightly, and attack with five thousand Divination Troops first." Then take 3,000 black cars out of the Gongchen Gate and make a detour to attack the enemy's left side. ”

"Xu."

When the order of the Liao army was handed down, the Qiande Gate suddenly opened, and 5,000 people rushed out of the city, and another 3,000 black cars and horses also came out of the north gate, and they wanted to attack the left side of the Tang army in a roundabout way.

And not far to the northwest, the Han family reinforcements led by Wei Fei also arrived.
