Chapter 103
Baili Wuji said to Chai Rong: "Second brother, there are so many free laborers at the North Gate alone, it seems that the official roads of the Ming and the two countries are built, and there is no need to recruit people." “
Chai Rong also smiled: "Yelu Jing is indeed bold. “
The two couldn't help but laugh out loud.
At this time, Chen Yanzheng came in.
After he saluted the two of Baili Wuji, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has come to ask for guilt." Yelutira led an army of 30,000 to raid the army under the command of the minister, the two armies fought fiercely, the minister did not notice for a while, and let the enemy break through to the northwest. Please punish him. “
Baili Wuji and Chai Rong looked at each other and smiled, turned their heads and said to Chen Yanzheng in a cold voice: "Chen Yanzheng is not in good command and has neglected to use troops. It should have been punished, but I thought of the hard work of these days, and I did not care for myself. In this way, come over here and punish three glasses of wine, and you should be punished. “
In the evening, the prisoners outside the West Gate were also counted, more than 27,000 Liao soldiers were captured, and more than 52,000 wounded soldiers, most of whom were injured by flying shrapnel during the shelling.
……。
A day later, Yelutira joined Yelujing, who was waiting with his neck stretched, and returned north to Beijing together.
On the way back, Yelu Tira said to Yelu Jing: "According to the emperor's will, after the fog cleared that day, the minister ordered 38,000 Pi Room troops to take over the tribal army and launch an attack on Qianzhou City. At the beginning, the progress was smooth, and after two days of fierce fighting, the Ming army was obviously no match for the leather room army, and retreated to Qianzhou City step by step. “
Yelutira took a breath and said again: "No, suddenly the firearms in the direction of Qianzhou City rained down on the array of the leather chamber army. There were also firearms flying from the sea to the east, and for a time, the array of the leather chamber army was shrouded in fire and smoke. The minister wanted to send the tribal army to the rescue. It's a pity that 10,000 tribal troops rushed up, and the front was completely lost in an instant, and as a last resort, the minister had to order the tribal army to retreat. Seeing that the situation was urgent, the minister was even more worried about the emperor's safety, so after ordering the 10,000 tribal army to break off, he led 30,000 people to break through in the direction of the West Gate. The Ming army was defenseless, and the ministers were lucky to see the emperor's ....... “
After saying that, Jelutira wiped away the old tears again.
Although Jerejing was in deep sorrow. But in the end, Yelutira was able to bring out 30,000 Liao troops, which was better than nothing, and it was a little comforting.
Yelujing comforted: "Uncle Clan has worked hard and returned to Shangjing. I will reward you well. “
Yelutira sobbed, "The emperor is fine. The minister is satisfied, and there is no need for another reward. “
……。
On the same day, Wu Xingwen sent good news to Chai Rong from the Chengde Festival of Yunzhou Zhou State, and Wu Xingwen led 25,000 Zhou troops to garrison Yunzhou, withstanding more than a dozen attacks and attacks of 50,000 Liao troops, and holding on to it. In order to be thoughtful, Wu Xingwen sent a messenger to ask for help from Yang Ye of Daizhou. After Yang Ye received the letter, he led 30,000 Ming troops out of the Great Wall to the north. Through Shuozhou, it detoured to the left flank of the Liao army and flanked the Liao army. Caused confusion in the Liao army.
That night, Wu Xingwen took the opportunity to send 10,000 elite soldiers to cover the night, went out from the south gate, and detoured to the east to the right side of the Liao army to cooperate with Yang Ye
After the flank attack was successful, Wu Xingwen led the whole army to rush out of the north gate of Yunzhou, and under the combined attack on three sides, the Liao army was defeated.
After the war, 21,000 enemies were annihilated, more than 5,000 were captured, and the rest of the remnants fled north. Wu Xingwen was worried about the safety of Yunzhou, so he did not dare to chase north without authorization and returned to Yunzhou to hold on; Yang Ye saw that the rescue was successful, so he led the Ming army back to Daizhou to standby.
Baili Wuji was relieved from this, and he high-fived and congratulated Chai Rong. Baili Wuji specially ordered to reward, and all Yanyun officials were promoted to one level; All Yanyun generals were promoted to one level, and the soldiers were rewarded with twenty taels of silver. And sent good news to Jinling of the Ming Kingdom and Kaifeng of the Zhou Kingdom.
For a time, all states and counties in the sixteen states of Yanyun celebrated together, and fireworks and firecrackers rang out in unison, which was more lively than the New Year.
In the battle, the 30,000 musketeers of the Ming army suffered 10,000 casualties, and Chen Yanzheng's 80,000 Ming troops suffered more than half of the casualties, which is not unmistakable. But the results of the battle were also huge, Yelu Jing set up the Marshal Mansion of Zhongjing Soldiers and Horses in Dading Mansion, gathered 120,000 cavalry and 165,000 tribal troops in the Imperial Palace, and 118,000 Pi Room Army in the Imperial Palace, a total of 403,000 troops, after this battle, except for the 30,000 tribal troops brought back by Yelu Tira, the rest were lost.
After this battle, the main force of the Liao State was lost, and there was no longer the power to take the initiative to go south, so the Ming and Zhou were already invincible in the confrontation with the Liao State and occupied the strategic initiative.
Now that the main force of the Liao State has been lost, it is naturally a good time to expand the results of the war to the north. Baili Wuji and Chai Rong once again discussed the strategic cooperation between the two countries in Qianzhou City.
"Second brother, in your opinion, where will the Ming army stop when it goes north."
"Here." Chai Rong pointed to the map and shook his head, and said, "Although the Liao State has suffered a heavy defeat in this battle, the Shangjing army is still strong, according to Rong's estimate, at least more than 200,000, and the Liaoyang Mansion in Liaoyang, Tokyo, is not far from Shangjing, and Shangjing can be reinforced at any time, and it is unlikely that you want to take advantage of the situation to enter Shangjing." “
Baili Wuji looked at Chai Rong's finger, and the place Chai Rong was pointing to was the Luanhe River.
"The second brother's intention is to occupy the south of the Luan River and guard across the river from the Liao State?"
"Exactly."
Baili Wuji frowned and said, "Is it too little too little to recover like this?" “
Chai Rong said: "Now the strength of the Ming army in Qianzhou is also insufficient, if you go all out to attack the north, if there is an accident, I am afraid the gains outweigh the losses." “
Baili Wuji said: "The strength of the Ming army alone is indeed insufficient, but with the addition of Wu and Confucianism's 60,000 troops in Jiasi, and of course more than 20,000 Zhou troops in Yunzhou, it is not a matter of concern to occupy this place." After speaking, Baili Wuji clicked on the map.
Chai Rongshun looked at it for hundreds of miles, and it was Dading Mansion.
Chai Rong was a little worried in his heart, although Baili Wuji was resourceful and the Ming army was also strong, but if he really wanted to occupy the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing of the Liao State, he would inevitably be counterattacked by the Liao State with all his might, and now the big war is over, and he will have to endure a big war, and he doesn't know what the prospects are.
Chai Rong persuaded and said: "Brother, listen to Rongyi's persuasion, occupy Dading Mansion, you will definitely suffer from Shangjing and Liaoyang Mansion, even if you add the 60,000 troops and more than 20,000 Zhou troops in Jiasi, at best, it will only be 110,000 people, how to fight against the Liao army several times your own in the territory of Liao?" “
Baili Wuji smiled mysteriously and said, "What if the Liao army of Liaoyang Mansion can't come to reinforcements?" “
Chai Rong was shocked when he saw Baili Wuji's expression, and asked, "Could it be that there is still an army in the Ming Kingdom that Rong doesn't know?" “
Baili Wuji smiled and said: "The second brother naturally knows, but the second brother may not have thought of it for a while. “
Pointing to the map, Baili Wuji said: "Look at this time, the 30,000 garrisons of the Ming Kingdom have arrived in Goryeo, and the 50,000 garrisons of the Ming Kingdom of Goryeo have been combined into the Liao Army, and now they have crossed the Yalu River to the west and invaded the territory of the Liao State. Liaoyang Mansion was attacked by 80,000 Ming troops, how could it still have the ability to divide troops to reinforce Dading Mansion? (To be continued......)
