Chapter 927: Xiao Yanshou's hole cards
Ah Gu Da looked at the large number in front of him, but he had been tortured by hunger and did not have much strength, and his face also showed a little hideous smile, before he received the news of the rebellion of the Bohai people in Liaoyang Mansion, he immediately keenly found that this is a golden opportunity, if he can seize it, maybe he can swallow the nearly 100,000 troops under Xiao Yanshou in one fell swoop, although this idea seems crazy, but A Gu Da believes in his own strength.
So in this case, Aguda led all the forces that could be used, although his alliance with Haixi was not very incidental, the last battle of Kaizhou caused the other party to lose a lot of people, so Haixi was originally reluctant to send troops, but when he sent a part of the materials he hijacked before to Haixi, the people in Haixi were immediately conquered by these materials, and finally sent an army of several thousand people, so that the troops he could use reached more than 7,000 people, although it was not as strong as when he was in his heyday, But it's not to be underestimated.
With 7,000 to 100,000, and he still took the initiative to attack, I am afraid that only Ah Guda has the courage, of course, he will not be stupid enough to fight hard with the other party, and he has already made a strict plan in advance, such as constantly harassing the Liao army, which makes the Liao army with a lack of food internally frightened, and he is also like an experienced wolf king, patiently waiting for the moment when the Liao army runs out of food and its strength reaches its lowest point, and then launches a full-scale attack.
Aguta didn't know how much food was left in the Liao army, so according to his plan, he would launch an attack before the Liao army was about to arrive at Huanglong Mansion, so that it could be more secure, but just a few days ago, he suddenly found that the Liao army had recovered as if it was suddenly full, but at the same time, he also found that the war horses in the Liao army were rapidly decreasing, which made him understand that the Liao army had begun to kill war horses to satisfy hunger. It shows that the food in the Liao army has indeed run out.
The above discovery made Ah Guda happy in his heart, and in the next few days, he waited patiently again, and as he expected, after most of the war horses of the Liao army were eaten, there were not many war horses left. Xiao Yanshou didn't seem to want to kill horses anymore, after all, the cavalry of the Liao army also occupied an important position, and if they didn't even have horses, their combat effectiveness would also be greatly reduced.
But if you don't kill the war horse, the Liao army will once again run out of food, and the Liao army, which has just recovered some physical strength, will also languish again. I also feel that since the Liao army has even killed the war horses, the food should have run out, and the Liao army has just eaten a few full meals and is hungry, this kind of gain and loss has made their morale fall to the bottom, so this is a good opportunity to attack.
It was in this situation that Aguda finally made the decision to attack, but for the sake of safety. He first asked Wu Qimai to lead 2,000 people to take the lead, and first tested the reality of the Liao army. As a result, the scene he saw finally dispelled the last bit of doubt, so when the Liao army was disturbed by Wu Qimai, he personally led the remaining 5,000 people to kill from the other side, ready to give the Liao army a blow, as long as the morale of the other party can be killed, then these Liao troops will become lambs under their butcher's knife.
"It's near! It's getting closer! Ah Guta, who was riding on a horse, looked at the Liao army that was getting closer and closer. The smile on his face was even more hideous, and even he could already see the desperate expression on the face of the Liao army opposite, but the more desperate the enemy was, the more excited he became, and even at this time he felt that the blood in his whole body was about to boil.
"Boom~" The cavalry rushing to the front collided with the shield raised by the Liao army like a sharp blade. It took almost no too much effort to tear open the defense of the Liao army, and the Jurchen cavalry in the rear rushed into the formation of the Liao army at a rapid pace, and the opposite side was Wu Qimai's cavalry, as long as they broke through the obstruction of these Liao troops, they could join forces with Wu Qimai, and at the same time cut the Liao army into two sections, and then the Liao army would be difficult to care about, and the battle situation would be more favorable to their Jurchens.
However, what Ah Guda didn't expect was that just when the 5,000 cavalry led by him was about to rush into the formation of the Liao army, he suddenly saw the rear army of the Liao army suddenly split to the two wings, and then a murderous Liao cavalry shot out of it, like a sharp arrow piercing Ah Guta's flank.
Seeing this Liao cavalry that suddenly came out, and looking at the other party's appearance, there was no sign of demoralization due to hunger, which made Ah Guda secretly scream badly, he actually fell for Xiao Yanshou, but unfortunately at this time he understood that it was too late, his cavalry had rushed into the Liao army for nearly half of it, and it was impossible to withdraw, and it was difficult for the cavalry to change direction when charging, so in the end, he could only watch the Liao cavalry crash into his flank, and as a result, his cavalry was cut into two at once.
For this suddenly killed Liao cavalry, not only the Jurchens were shocked, but even most of the Liao generals also felt incredible, even Xiao Dilie didn't understand where this cavalry came from, the food in the army was exhausted before, and the war horses in the army were eaten nearly half, although the main cavalry force like the Tielin Army still kept the war horses, but the people and horses had nothing to eat, how could it be possible to maintain such a strong combat effectiveness?
However, no matter how shocked and puzzled Akuda and others were, this murderous Liao cavalry is a fact, after they cut off the cavalry of Aguta, they immediately turned around and rushed to kill again, the target was the truncated rear Jurchen cavalry, and even the main general of Aguta rushed in, the rear team lacked command, although the Jurchens' fighting instincts allowed them to react in time, but in the face of this Liao cavalry, which was more than twice as many as them, they suffered a loss as soon as they came into contact, and countless Jurchens were knocked off their horses. Then he was trampled into a pulp by the war horses of both sides.
Seeing the tragic situation behind him, Ah Guda in front immediately roared angrily, but he did not turn around to rescue, but loudly ordered the whole army to speed up the charge, you must know that they have now rushed into the Liao army, if they turn around to rescue, they will only lose their original speed, and the cavalry will lose its biggest reliance if it loses speed, and will only be ground to death by the continuous flow of Liao troops around, so for them, the most correct way is to rush over directly to join Wu Qimai's cavalry, and then turn back to rescue the cavalry behind them.
Xiao Yanshou, who was in the Chinese army, saw the choice made by Ah Guta not far away, and couldn't help but sigh at the moment, he had exhausted his mind to make such a dangerous game to win, and even his son Xiao Dilie was hidden by him in the valley, but he didn't expect that Ah Guta was still not fooled, and he actually made the most correct decision between this kind of lightning and flint, so that the results that he set in this trap were also very limited.
Although Ah Guda was hit by the Liao cavalry that suddenly appeared, his temperament was extremely tenacious, and he quickly ruled out the influence, and commanded the cavalry to rush left and right in the Liao army very calmly, and finally killed through the encirclement, and Wu Qimai's cavalry joined together, and then the two armies immediately broke away from the battle formation, went around a big circle on the battlefield, and finally arrived at the battle range of the Liao cavalry and the truncated Jurchen cavalry, but at this time the intercepted Jurchen cavalry had suffered more than half of the casualties, and the remaining cavalry was also cut into several sections, Struggling to support in the siege of other Liao armies.
Seeing this situation, Ah Gu and Wu Qimai immediately waved their troops to rescue, but the Liao cavalry would not let Ah Gu beat them save people so easily, but the number of cavalry in Ah Guta's hands was not less than them, and their combat effectiveness was even higher than them, plus in the previous engagement, they also lost a lot of manpower, so these Liao cavalry were also very smart, and they did not meet the enemy head-on, but harassed them on the flank, increasing the difficulty of the Jurchen rescue.
However, no matter how harassed the Liao cavalry was, it was difficult to pose too much threat to the Jurchen Allah led by Akuta, plus in addition to the cavalry, most of the Liao army was hungry and weak, and it was okay to break out at first, but after such a long time of fighting, many people were directly tired on the battlefield, which also led to the final Jurchen successfully rescued most of the trapped Jurchen cavalry, and then calmly retreated.
This battle was not long, it can be said that the Jurchens fell into Xiao Yanshou's trap at the beginning, and Ah Guta was a cautious character, so he saw that the situation was not good, and immediately chose to retreat, Xiao Yanshou was unable to catch up, and finally had to collect his troops and count the losses on the battlefield.
"Father, it's useless that you still have such a cavalry hidden?" At this moment, Xiao Dilie finally had time to rush to the Chinese army from the front army, and then asked his father excitedly, this time the Jurchens suffered a big loss, and the loss of manpower was definitely more than 1,000 people, such a result was rare even in the past.
"Alas, as early as when I decided to withdraw to Huanglong Mansion, I knew that the Jurchens would pursue later, so I secretly asked people to hide a batch of grain to make dry food and distribute it to the Tielin Army, which has the strongest combat effectiveness, so that when the grain and grass in the army are exhausted, the Tielin Army can still maintain a certain combat effectiveness, but the Jurchens are reluctant to attack, and I am worried that the dry food in the Tielin Army will not be able to support it for a few days, so I agreed to let you slaughter the war horse, so as to tell the Jurchens that our food has run out and lure the Jurchens to attack, However, although this method was successful, the decisiveness of Ah Gu's fight was also beyond my expectations, this time it could only make the Jurchens hurt their muscles and bones, but it was far from the extent of the great damage to their vitality, and our next days would be even more sad. Xiao Yanshou sighed at this time and said, this hidden Tielin Army is already his last hole card, if the Jurchens come again next time, I am afraid they will not be as lucky as today.
