Chapter 402: The Road of Iron Blood (2)
Pan Mei is fast in using soldiers.
Take Guangnan Kuai, take Nantang Kuai, and almost lose touch with Cao Bin, but because Zhao Kuangyi wants Pan Meikuai this time, Song Jiu faintly feels bad, and he can't think of anything wrong.
When Yang Ye and Li Jixuan had not yet attacked Gu'an City, Pan Mei had already sent troops, and went straight to Chenjiagu from Taihang Xicheng, met the Liao army, defeated the Liao army, and beheaded 500 people. Quickly came from Chenjiagu to the city of Huanzhou, that is, Wuzhou in Liao.
Zhao Yanxin, the assassin of the Liao army in Huanzhou, was originally a Han Chinese, and when he saw Pan Mei menacing and no reinforcements from the rear, he immediately surrendered the city. Pan Mei took Zhao Yanxin as the training envoy of the Benzhou regiment, and quickly crossed the ancient Great Wall and came to the city of Shuozhou, Zhao Xizan, the deputy envoy of Shuozhou Jiedu, had been defeated in the hands of Pan Mei before, and did not dare to fight, and surrendered the city.
Pan Mei went west again, turned to attack Yingzhou, and its festival made Ai Zheng and the observation judge Song Xiong surrender again, too fast, so fast that the Liao State could not rescue, in just ten days, Pan Mei took Sanzhou. Then the soldiers went out of Longshou Mountain, and the soldiers went to Yunzhou, which is actually Datong, the Xijing of Liao!
If Zhao Kuangyi is allowed to choose, he must like Pan Mei very much. But if Song Jiu is allowed to choose, he will definitely choose the middle route army.
Tian Zhong came in to the Flying Fox Mouth.
The Liao army was defeated and retreated to the northern city of Flying Fox Pass.
Flying Fox Pass is one of the most important checkpoints in Taihang Mountain, the Liao State is very nervous, regardless of the dangerous situation in the west, the southwest Zhao'an makes the Dapeng wing concentrate 30,000 cavalry in Xijing to help.
First of all, the strength of troops.
Gao Qiong's 20,000 soldiers and horses are not counted, the regular army is 200,000, and the remaining 80,000 soldiers and horses, Pan Mei's task is a little heavier. 50,000 soldiers and horses were divided, and the actual 50,000 soldiers and horses were the number of garrisons in Hedong. Most of the troops sent by the capital were transferred to Cao Bin and Tian Chongjin.
Tian Chongjin only had 30,000 regular forbidden soldiers in his hands, of course, the actual number was more than that. There are also some village soldiers, as well as temporary recruits and archers, it cannot be said that these temporary forces are useless, although the combat effectiveness is slightly inferior in peacetime, but it can still be used to defend the city walled fort, and it can also be used as auxiliary forces in battle. Of course, there are more people in the rear who escort grain and grass, which is really useless.
But at this time, only the forbidden soldiers can come in handy.
The strength of the two armies was about the same. However, the opponents are all cavalry, and their strength is actually a little weaker.
Tian Chongjin called Wu Yuanfu and Yuan Jizhong, as well as Jing Si and other generals, but they were all generals, and it was impossible for Tian Chongjin to call Jing Si to discuss the matter.
Yuan Jizhong said: "The enemy has many cavalry, which is conducive to flat land, but now Dapeng Yi is coming from the mountain road with a large army, but it loses the advantage of cavalry sprinting." It's better for us to take the risk and counterattack. ”
Qizhou Thorn Shi Tan Yanmei also said: "The enemy is easy to hold on to me, if you take it by surprise, you can also be restrained." ”
Tan Yanmei is an experienced veteran, and Yuan Jizhong is a brave general who can fight well. In the Battle of Mancheng, Cui Yan entered the mouth of the Great Wall and broke the enemy army, and the main general was Yuan Jizhong. But all the credit was later placed on Cui Yanjin's head, and some people persuaded him to talk about it. Yuan Jizhong did not answer. If it weren't for his outstanding performance in the battle of Li Jiqian in Jialuchuan, almost even Song Jiu would have ignored this fierce general.
But the most brilliant thing about this battle is not Tian Chongjin. It's not Yuan Jizhong, it's not Tan Yanmei.
It's another person, someone who may be even more wronged than Dou E.
The two have a point.
If you don't take the initiative to use the enemy army to fight on the mountain road, put it into the Flying Fox Pass and fight on the Pingchuan, the Song army will be even more disadvantaged.
So Tian Chongjin led the army forward.
However, Dapeng Yi is also a generation of famous generals, and in several encounters, the Song army did not defeat the Liao army.
At this time, a Song general stood up.
He is the heir of Jing.
Jing Si has a very good grandfather, named Jing Hanru, a famous brave general under Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne year, he fought with the Northern Han Dynasty, and also committed Cao Guangshi's fault, coerced bravely and lightly, alone in danger, besieged by enemy soldiers, after killing dozens of people, died under the enemy soldiers' guns.
People are in human affection, and human beings are in human affection.
Moreover, Jing Hanru's contributions were all to help Chai Rong, and he did not contribute much to Zhao Kuangyin, so Zhao Kuangyin automatically forgot the merits of the Jing family, and Jing Hei only had the grandson of Jing Hanru's brother Jing Yanfu. So that the starting point of Jing Hei is pitiful.
In the year when Jing Si died from his grandfather, Jing Si responded to the recruitment and became a crane control pawn. is an ordinary soldier, with Li Jixun to crusade against Hedong, Li Jiqian selected 100 warriors, and took a small road to intercept Luoyang Village. Jing Si took the initiative to ask to go, and Jing Si alone had more than 50 people in this battle. Jing Hanru sacrificed dozens of people with his blades, but he was safe. Think about it, if you don't need fifty people, it's fifty pigs, and you have to kill them for a while.
But this is only a piece of cake in his life's journey.
Won Luoyang Village, Li Jixun's troops entered the Fen River, Yang Ye guarded the Fen River Bridge, Jing Si was still a small soldier, but with prestige, he took the lead in the battle, Yang Ye was defeated and retired to the city. At night, Yang Ye attacked the camp with thousands of his men, and Li Jixun picked 500 warriors to fight, and Jing Hei was undoubtedly among them, and defeated Yang Ye again.
Anyway, Yang Ye made this Jing Si miserable, so much so that he never mentioned the name Jing Si to Song Jiu. However, after the war, Li Jixun may have swallowed the credit of Jing Si, or he was negligent, and Jing Si is still a small soldier. has been a soldier for several years, and Zhao Kuangyin was still a soldier when he personally conquered Taiyuan.
Because Jing Hei was very brave, he asked Zhao Kuangyin to summon him, but it was strange that Zhao Kuangyin just promoted him to Yulongzhi. It's not an official, it's a forbidden soldier, to put it bluntly, it's a Zhongnanhai bodyguard, and it's even inferior to it. Could it be that Zhao Kuangyin also swallowed the gong?
When he went to Zhao Kuangyi, he attacked Taiyuan and conquered Youzhou, and his performance was still outstanding, especially in the battle of Liao Jingzong's personal invasion of Xiongzhou. There was a eunuch who went out of the city to see the terrain and was surrounded by the Liao army, Jing Si sent troops to engage in battle, killing more than 700 cavalrymen, but the Liao army had too many soldiers and horses, and Jing Si's army was separated from the army at night. But Jing Si led the lone army, killed the Liao army and surrounded it, set up a military camp under the city of Mozhou, and led more than 100 of his men to cut off the watchtower of the Liao army with an axe, and cut off the heads of more than 50 Liao soldiers by the way. The Liao army built a bridge over the Jiehe River and wanted to retreat, but Jing Si took the initiative to block it, killing and capturing many Liao soldiers.
Also, Cui Yanjin Tang Xingkou won a great victory, and Jing Hei made great achievements. In the battle of Tian Qinzuo and Yuan Jizhong's three forks, Jing Si led ten of his men to attack Li Jiqian's camp. He actually killed more than 100 people and burned many of Li Jiqian's camps. Return calmly. If it is compared, it may be Yang Ye's performance in the first battle of Yanmenguan. It's all puffy clouds. It's still very strange, after making so many contributions, so far Jing Si has only been made up as a cage commander and a deputy battalion commander, and he is not as good as Yang Shiquan who can play football.
The further back in history, the more exciting his life became, Yang Ye completed a hundred people at the cost of his life, Jing Si easily completed several hundred people slashes, and dozens of slashes were simply countless. One hundred and fifty battles in a lifetime. There was no defeat, but it wasn't until very late that he gradually drew it up, and there were too many credits to cover it up.
It was gold that shone sooner or later, but it was not because he started late, and after this battle, Song Jiu finally noticed him.
In history, his best and most wronged place is under this Flying Fox Pass.
In this battle, he turned the tide and allowed Tian Chongjin to win a great victory in Flying Fox Pass. But later generations actually put this credit on Yang Ye's head. And then what. Someone finally reacted that Yang Ye was halfway to Yingzhou according to the time, and there was a Ulzhou in the middle, hundreds of miles of road. Countless mountains and mountains, are they flying over with wings?
This was fought by Tian Chongjin, but the name Jing Si made people automatically negligent.
Contemporary warriors. Brave and unparalleled in the world!
Jing Si, as Yuan Jizhong's subordinate, also came to the Flying Fox Ridge.
Tian Shigejin's several attacks from the east were ineffective. A little anxious, but at this time, Jing Si was not promoted. already has some small fame, including Tian Chongjin, who also heard that Yuan Jizhong has such a brave general.
So he gave a group of men and horses, and let Jing Hei fight from the west.
This time, Tian Chongjin's appointment made a star rise.
Jing Si beat his chest and replied, "Oh." ”
In fact, Tian Chongjin did not have many soldiers and horses, he originally only wanted to break down the pressure of the attack, and the main battlefield of the battle was still in the east, not in the west. I didn't expect it to work.
Jing Si led this poor Song army decisively to the western slope and rushed into the Liao army. He personally stood at the front, his hand raised and fell, stabbing a head, at that moment he was not a tiger, and the tiger was not as good as him at that time, and at that moment Jing Si turned into a dragon.
He was in front, the Liao army was unstoppable, and he only killed for a while, and he alone cut down more than a hundred Liao troops. The Liao army frightened his soul by killing him, and fled from the hillside to the plain in a hurry. Jing Si shouted loudly: "Destroy the bowstring, break the tail of the arrow and surrender, Rao Er will not die." ”
Most of the more than 1,000 Liao troops who fled to Pingchuan abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and some fled to the river, and Jing Si continued to pursue and kill until the river did not stop.
In the blink of an eye, Jing Si defeated the Liao army in the west.
Seeing the rout of the western army, the situation became somewhat unfavorable, so he had to order the army to withdraw to the Tuntuling behind.
Tian Chongjin asked Pi to attack Huang Ming on Tuntuling, but he did not succeed, but sacrificed some Song soldiers.
Jing Si couldn't stand it, so he said to Huang Ming: "You are here to support me, and I should take this ridge." ”
At this time, Jing Si's official position was far from being as high as Huang Minggao.
However, Huang Ming can't help it, he can't fight, who can call others. So Jing Si crossed his behalf, and rushed forward with his men.
This killing god came again, the Liao army on the ridge was in chaos, and not long after the battle, the Liao army was defeated again. Jing Si and his poor men followed in pursuit. His grandfather was a lone hero once but lost his life, but he didn't do anything, I don't know how many times he was a lone hero.
chased all the way for fifty miles, what is even more amazing is that he chased all the way, and recruited the deserters of the Liao army all the way, turning into more than 1,000 horses. Then chase it.
chased until the valley village more than sixty miles away, and Huang Ming caught up, but it made Huang Ming feel even more strange, why did Jing Si's soldiers and horses grow so much? Let's leave it alone, the two armies will meet and take the valley. Huang Ming ordered Jing Si to garrison the valley village, and he couldn't chase it anymore, and he would soon reach Ulzhou City after chasing him. Could it be that this Comrade Jing wants to take Ulzhou City with more than 100 of his subordinates?
Huang Ming's official position was high, and his orders Jing Si had to listen, but Zhigu was taken, and the Song army occupied a favorable position.
A few days later, Dapeng Yi came with a large army again, such a brave general, can Tian Chongjin not pay attention, so he kept complaining to Yuan Jizhong: "You old boy is not interesting enough." ”
Even he slandered in his heart, Yuan Jizhong's credit made Cui Yanjin swallow, did Yuan Jizhong deliberately hide this brave general so that he could swallow the credit of Jing Hei?
However, relatively speaking, Jing Si's fate is better than Han Shizhong's. Han Shizhong was called able to fight, and even captured Fang La alive from tens of thousands of troops by himself, so that Tong Guan didn't believe that Han Shizhong did it. Of course, Han Shizhong, like Jing Si, will shine sooner or later, although no one believed it because of his incredible military exploits in the early stage, he finally stepped onto the stage of history.
The terrain of Zhigu is very important, otherwise it will be a decisive battle with the cavalry of the Liao army in Pingchuan under the Flying Fox Ridge, and in the case of little difference in strength, the infantry against the cavalry on Pingchuan can be imagined.
Hearing that the main force of the Liao army was coming, Tian Chongjin hurriedly took his personal guards to Zhigu to inspect, Tian Chongjin had already forgotten the identity of Jing Si as a small deputy battalion commander, so he asked Jing Si what to do?
"Hit."
Tian Chongjin made Jing Si stunned, at this time, including his personal guards, there were less than a thousand people, how to fight against the Liao army. But Tian Chongjin himself can fight, so let's fight. The two led such a pitiful force, seized the terrain first, and began to take the initiative to attack the Liao army. Due to the terrain, the huge advantage of the Liao army cannot be brought into play, and the fact that the two can fight is also the main reason. Just such a pitiful force, under the leadership of two brave generals, rushed back and forth, which actually caused chaos in the Liao army. Dapeng Yi didn't see it well, and he was about to make a big joke, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses actually let hundreds of Song troops defeat, so he had to order a retreat.
This retreat was even more chaotic, leaving behind countless trebuchets, bells, and helmets.
Tian Chongjin and Jing Si stopped the pursuit, and let the soldiers clean up the battlefield and set up camp.
On the other hand, Dapeng Yi is also thinking about a strategy, in fact, Dapeng Yi is also a well-known brave general in Liao, and he is well-known for his side. But let the heirs of Jing die and wither.
This road can't be touched, let's change places.
So on this night, Dapeng Yi sent several large armies to take advantage of the night to besiege Xiaozhi Zhigu Erzhai from the trail, and also cut off the back road of Tian Jing's soldiers and horses.
Tian Chongjin asked Jing Si to come to the rescue, and Jing Si said: "Our main force is under the Flying Fox Ridge, there are only 500 soldiers here, and the enemy has more than 20,000 people, and the strength is invincible. ”
I'm not a fool, although I can fight, can 500 people beat more than 20,000 Liao troops?
It turned out to be more than 500 people, but some of the soldiers died in the battle during the day.
Tian Chongjin was extremely sad and indignant in his heart, thinking that who let you run fast and hurt Lao Tzu to fall here.
But the situation is not good.
Dapeng Yi copied the night road, surrounded the two villages of Naogu Xiaozhi, once it was taken, then they would surround their 500 people alive in tens of thousands of troops, lucky to be prisoners, unlucky to be killed in battle. Now is not the time to blame Jing Si for running fast, so he said, "What is the best plan?" ”
The scene at this time is a bit funny, Tian Chongjin is the commander of the middle road, equivalent to the later commander of the military region, Jing Si is a small deputy battalion commander, the two identities are not known how many times different, Tian Chongjin actually asked Jing Si for help.
In fact, he was thinking in his heart with grief: "In the future, I will remember, I can't run behind this kid, it's too dangerous to run with this kid......" (To be continued......
