Volume 3 Mending the Crack in the Sky Chapter 151 (14)
To the east of Hehe County, it is the broken remnant vein that extends northward from Luliang Mountain, in which the Weishui is divided into fragments and finally joins the Fen River. The Fen River flows south through the hinterland of Taiyuan again and joins the Yellow River.
If you go west from Yifang, these roads will eventually converge in the Weishui River Valley road in Hehe County, and it is the key point of the eastward advance of the Yanyan army that is stuck here, and no matter how many Jurchen military horses are gathered in Yifang, they will not be able to continue to advance westward again!
Since the main force of Yanyan was stationed in Hehe County, many men and horses were dispatched to the east, and in those fragmented mountain roads in the east, they relied on the terrain to set up military fortresses and set up forts to monitor the movement of the main force of the Yifang Jurchen West Route Army. At the same time, it was thought that the main wing of the Hehe Yanyan Army was the wing.
To the north from the Hehe River, it is also a fragmented mountainous area, and the roads diverge. The Yan army also set up villages everywhere, and the soldiers and horses were stationed to keep watch. Prevent the Yifang female Allah from attacking head-on and attacking from the northern flank.
As for the mountains to the south, there's nothing to worry about. To the south of the Hehe River, there is the main vein of Luliang Mountain, the mountain is high and the stream is deep, although there are some small roads, at most they can be used by small sentry horses, and a small scale of military horses can never use these roads. If Zonghan's troops dispersed the main force to the main vein of Luliang Mountain in the south and tried to copy the flank, it is estimated that most of the war horses would be killed when they came out, and the Jurchen Tartars would be tired and hungry and almost half dead. When the time comes, the Yan army will only have one person and one rope to catch the prisoners.
After all, Yan Yanjun was born in the Western Army, although he was inevitably loose before, and the morale of the army was also sluggish. But after arriving at the main point of Hehe County. Still perked up. The establishment of a garrison is the foundation of the Western Army. Within a few days, a fairly complete field military fortress was built in the large and small mountain passes to the north of the front. A platform was also set up at a high place. Hehe County is very tightly protected.
The cavalry army under Yang Keshi is stationed on the front line of Black Tea Mountain, and the front and rear roads can be met with this powerful soldier and horse. Then from the Black Tea Mountain to the west, there is the military horses of the Folding Family Army stationed there. To be honest, although the people in the Yan Yan army don't say it, they all default to the group of birds in the Zhen family army, and their combat power is still above the Yan Yan army, not to mention that there are such generals as Zhi Keqiu.
Laid out like this. Although the Yan army was stationed in the valley of the Weishui River in the mountains, the formation was stretched like a long snake. But I already feel that there is the peace of Mount Tai. And when the Western Army group saw Liu Guangshi fighting such a situation, they would naturally cross the river to respond. When the time comes, the war situation in Hedong will not be in the hands of the Western Army? As the first to attack, Yan Yanjun naturally wants to occupy a dominant position in it. But all Liu Guangshi's confidants and generals feel that they follow the generals, and their future is limitless!
Even if this general is too extravagant, he is too unattached to his subordinates. But as long as he can lead everyone to win the battle and win more fame and wealth, he will be ten times more magnificent. And only by him!
The generals saw that their own army was stable and occupied a favorable strategic situation. One by one, they are just thinking about the wealth of the future, or even still calculating. When the time comes, rush into Taiyuan Mansion and welcome back the two saints. Is it to go to the capital to manage the army for the first three ya, enjoy the wind and moon of Bianliang, or return to the fundamental hometown of Shaanxi, and just focus on running the door more prosperously? This choice is a difficult choice.
However, for the sergeants, the situation of the army was favorable, and the Jurchen military horses had always avoided fighting. I just feel relieved. This rash eastward march is a good thing that everyone's lives were not cut off by their own Liu General!
The military marched smoothly, and these sergeants, who had lived a comfortable life in Yanyan for several years, gradually became accustomed to the difficult battlefield environment again. Just wait to stabilize the position and settle here for a period of time, and the rear can keep up, and the upper layers will deduct the main less. I will raise my strength, and when the time comes, I will be able to fight hard.
This General Liu, although he is really unaccustomed to the veterans in the army, is indeed a disciple of the general. The judgment of the Jurchen military situation is still accurate, and along the way, the defense of the Hehe River has been arranged, and it is also stable. Fighting under his command, he will not be buried indiscriminately in vain. The only thing I want is that these generals Liu will be lighter when the time comes, and they will deduct less from the heads of our soldiers, and fight hard, and the promised reward can be at least fifty percent or sixty percent.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a military village more than 20 miles east of Hehe County, several sergeants were lazily looking at the wall in the drizzle.
And the leading generals in the village are also slowly pacing back and forth on the wall. How many days of heavy rain in a row, soaked people's bones are crispy, the whole body seems to be from the outside to the inside, the mountain wind blows, only people feel a burst of cold, just think about getting off the straight early, turn back to the tent to roast the fire.
This military village is already the farthest point from the Hehe River, so the soldiers who came to the garrison did not dare to be a little lazy, and took the people to work hard for two days, and finally set it up hastily before the heavy rain came.
There were about two troops in this army, and a commander in the Yan army, who was known as a daring to fight, personally sat in the middle of it. Time is very tight, this military village can't be set up so huge, it's just that the general can accommodate the scale of the two soldiers.
However, because it was too far ahead, no one dared to cheat and play tricks during the construction. This military fortress is located on the top of a hill, and it is controlling a small mountain path under its feet, and a platform is also set up on the top of the higher mountain behind it. It is piled with firewood and grass, and clear oil is prepared, so that it can signal fireworks to the rear at any time.
The fence of the military village is nailed very deeply, and it is also beaten with two rows of piles. There are many rocky mountains in the east of the river, and it is difficult to dig the trench, but it is only a not deep one, but it is doubly sprinkled with thistle, and two deer bars are set up, and the people also work hard to transport two bed crossbows. As far as a small military village is concerned, it is already quite strong.
The military village was set up, and the heavy rain was overwhelming, and the rain was amazing. The people who participated in the construction could not be evacuated, so they had to flock into this small military village. Everyone huddled together. I've been soaking in water for so many days.
Needless to say, these days are miserable. However, for these garrison sergeants and unlucky people, there is another point of happiness.
The establishment of a new military village has always been the most dangerous time. Tartar but have a heart, taking advantage of the unstable foothold to pull out the village is the cheapest. After this heavy rain, the family is naturally soaked in the mud, but the Jurchen Tartar can't roll up even if everyone is born with eight legs. When the heavy rain stops, the army will be able to hold its ground!
During the heavy rain for several days, the commander was very diligent. still tried his best to organize people and horses to strengthen the fortification, and at the same time drove out the trench in the heavy rain. The sergeants and civilians worked in the rain, and when they rested, they were also in the water, and most of the food was cold. Many fell ill.
However, as the rain gradually subsided, the rear also sent a contact person, saying that they would send a response team to transport grain and ordnance to strengthen the defense of the village, and by the way, they would take the sick soldiers and civilians down and go to Hehe County to rest. Stabilize the fortification in the heavy rain. The hard work, Shangguan sees it in his eyes. One of these centaurs is counted as one, and they are all credited and rewarded!
The commander finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now he stabilized his position. It is not easy for the Tartars to rob their own military village. There are tens of thousands of horses behind their own homes, and such military villages are widely distributed in the east and north of Hehe County, and the Tartars have to gnaw them one by one, but I am afraid that their teeth will collapse. Our Western Army has been guarding the ravine in Shaanxi for dozens or hundreds of years, is it possible that we are afraid of you Jurchen Tartars in the east of the river? If you're not convinced, just give it a try!
The conductor survived for a few days, his eyes were deeply sunken, and he seemed to feel a little cold, coughing from time to time. But there is still some anxiety, as if before the back road to meet the team comes up, just patrol the wall and circle after circle. It's a small village with a big palm, and I don't know how many times I've gone around, and the sergeant on the wall of the wall is dizzy by him.
After the commander passed in front of him again, he couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a smile: "General, let's take a break." You have worked hard in the past few days, and we have seen it in our eyes, and our bodies are not very refreshing. Go to the tent and lie down. Your tabernacle has dried the ground for you, and we can sleep as you please. It's really not possible, follow the convoy that came up to go down, and the credit for this defense of the village will be picky, you say? ”
The commander glared at Nadu, coughed twice, and said, "What kind of general am I?" Didn't the dispatch who was promoted before crossing the river also survive for ten years on the Dutou dispatch before? It's a hard-working job. The real general is lying in Hehe County, on the way to the army, you haven't seen such pomp and circumstance, I am such a small member, so that the general is not afraid to fold my blessings! ”
This commander opened his mouth to complain, and pointed directly at Liu Guangshi. I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak. I just muttered in my heart.
Straight lady thief, if it weren't for your stinky mouth and hard temper, but if you can socialize a little, such an old qualification, under the withering of the elite of the Yan Yan army, you still need to be sent to the capital for ten years? When I became the commander, I was not also the head of the Xingxing, guarding the front of the life-giving bird army village, and in the heavy rain, I also instructed us to turn around and work desperately, how many children were so tired that they vomited blood? If it weren't for the fact that you were cutting and carrying trees like us, digging ditches and rolling like mud figures. Who is the bird who is anxious to serve your short-lived commander?
Although this commander scolded this commander in his heart, in fact, everyone has a lot of friendship, and they have all worked hard to survive. In recent years, the atmosphere of the Yan Yan army has been very bad, and the military salary has been severely deducted. Everyone worked hard to support and maintain the men and horses in the camp, and more or less maintained their combat strength. That's why it was reused in this place where it was killed. sighed at the moment, and wanted to persuade him to go down and rest again.
The commander sighed again: "But now, it seems that although this general is ridiculous, his ability to lead the troops is not too bad." Unexpectedly, he went deeper than 200 miles from the edge of the Yellow River and stabilized his position in front of the Jurchen Tartars! How did he see that the Jurchen Tartars were unwilling to fight hard with our Western Army, but only harassed them? Now that the Jurchen Tartars have retreated all the way and shrunk in Yifang's place where the eggs are bigger, is it true that the Jurchen Tartars have no choice but to go back to find King Yan desperately? ”
Du Du glanced at him: "Straight lady thief clamp your bird's beak!" After this battle is fought, we will not know what the status of the lord should be, and if your mouth is not clean, it will reach the ears of the general, and hundreds of military sticks will knock you to sleep! ”
The commander shut up unwillingly, and his heart was only full of doubts and confusion. He is a low-level general, and he has very little military information, and he is only familiar with the few people under his command. No one specifically told him about the general situation of the war in Hedong, and he just acted according to orders. Although I was a little puzzled by the current situation, I couldn't tell what was wrong.
After being puzzled for a long time, after all, he was still a little unwilling, leaning on the wall and looking east, and muttered in a low voice: "Straight mother thief, if I am a Jurchen Tartar." I don't want to fight to the east, but I have to make a real chapter with our army and horses in the west............ Is it comfortable to be pressed in such a small place? There's so little room for manoeuvre, and it's a bird's fight............ This is the Jurchen Tartar who destroyed the Liao Kingdom............"
Before he could finish his muttering, a faint trumpet sounded among the mountains to the west.
In the blink of an eye, in the midst of the continuous rain, the mournful sound of the horn was connected and resounded in the mountains!
It seems that in every mountain pass, in every direction, this horn sounds!
In the midst of the rain, on the west side of the mountain road choked by this military fortress, a black Jurchen Tartar flag appeared. And then it's a matter of counting, ten, and more!
Under these banners, groups of Jurchen military horses appeared in the cold rain, all wearing armor and having blades and bows. Walk slowly along the mountain road. And these banner military horses are still pouring out endlessly!
A Jurchen general with shining golden armor, surrounded by his own guards, went straight to the heights, looked at the military village in front of him, and suddenly pointed forward. And the infinite Jurchen army marching in the mountains let out a cry like a tidal wave!
In the shouting, a large number of attacking tools also appeared. The tattered clothes of the brigade pushed and pulled these attacking tools in the mud and struggled forward. From time to time, some people fell into the mud and couldn't struggle anymore, but the rest of the people were still numbly using up their last bit of strength to push these attacking tools forward!
The commander looked at his own commander blankly, and he really had nothing to say about his salt sauce.
The commander waved his hand abruptly and ordered: "Light the beacon fire of the tower!" ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The smoke column rose up, and the firewood and grass were damp in the rain, and although it was drenched with clear oil, it still burned hard. The pillar of smoke was not thick, and it was torn apart in the mountain wind.
In the east and north of Hehe County, there are dozens of such smoke columns burning at the same time!
The Jurchen army, which had been stationed with Yifang and seemed to be weak and afraid, suddenly moved. It seems that in every part of this complicated mountain trail, an offensive has been launched!
A fierce battle is coming!
In the middle of the military village, the commander glanced around, muttering that he didn't know what he was muttering. Behind the military village, the sound of golden drums and trumpets was already resounding. The sergeants rushed to the wall, took up all kinds of guards, and greeted the Jurchen military horses that suddenly came from this large group with pale faces!
The commander seemed to finish talking, picked up a spear in his hand, raised it into the air and shouted.
"Straight lady thief, afraid of a bird! Such a mountain, such a road, such a heavy rain. It is more difficult for the Jurchen Tartars to gnaw down our military village than to ascend to the sky! As long as the army is constantly supporting and stabilizing, the army will not be in turmoil. As long as the dog Tartar wants to fight, we will accompany us to the end! ”
The command made the roar unwavering. But there is an indescribable shaking in my heart.
In front of the Jurchen Tartars suddenly marched in a big way, could it be that the Tartar generals were really stupid enough to want to fight for their lives? Is the road back safe?
No, the back road doesn't fall so quickly. The Zhejia army can fight much more than the Yan army! And in the three states outside the river, on the west bank of the Yellow River, reinforcements will come!
The road back must be safe!
And the general of the Yannei who has 40,000 lives of our Yan Yan Army will definitely be able to stabilize his position! (To be continued......)
