934 The Life of a Legend 35.0
Although Song Qiyun said it so lightly, those who have led soldiers and fought with the Liao people know that the price of being able to beat the brave and warlike nomadic iron cavalry back to the grassland is very huge and unimaginable.
Jin Miaomiao said before that the Song brothers had degenerated, although they used a ridiculous tone, but the descendants of later generations are not as good as the ancestors, this is a fact. Moreover, it is not only the Song family that has degenerated, but also the Yelu family and the Wanyan family.
But what King Tong was facing at that time was the Liao ancestors in the heyday, they were the most sophisticated in all aspects, their combat effectiveness, not to mention that one enemy was ten, although the generals and soldiers guarding the border pass were also able to fight, but compared with the enemy, it was still very difficult, if it was not for the death, the city of the border pass would be lost more.
Emperor Chongde only left a sentence by King Tong to supervise the country on a sick can't afford to be sick, King Tong can only bear this burden head-on, although more than half of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty look down on him and want to kill him, but at this time, they can only obey his dispatch and unanimously to the outside world. After all, if they really let the foreigners invade Xijing and the dynasty falls, let alone infighting, they can't even save their own lives and the lives of their families.
"They think very clearly, not as confused as they say!" Jin Miaomiao nodded, "So, King Tong sent all his elites to the border?" If I'm not mistaken, he doesn't have a lot of people in his hands, and the total number of people in his hands is not more than 100,000. ”
"Where are there so many, 100,000 is an imaginary number, it sounds good to say, it is specially used to bluff people, and it can really be beaten, and there are only 80,000 people." Shen Cha sighed, "Moreover, these 80,000 people can't all be sent out to prevent accidents, so 10,000 of the most elite soldiers and horses were left to defend the imperial city, and the remaining 70,000 people were divided into three groups to rush to the border pass to rescue." Fortunately, King Tong withstood the pressure and left 10,000 people, plus the Xijing patrol battalion, the guard battalion, and the men and horses in the hands of several veterans of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, adding up to almost 40,000 people, resisting the footsteps of the old ancestor and his brother to march into Xijing. ”
"The battlefield is miserable?"
"Of course, you have also fought against the Liao, and you are very clear about their strength. The combat effectiveness of the ancestors of the Liao people is much higher than that of the current Liao people, and it is not comparable at all. Shen Cha's face was particularly unsightly, "I know more or less about the guards at the border pass, and they are also very brave, but it is still very difficult to face the nomadic iron horses with tall people and horses." Even the 70,000 people sent by King Tong used their flesh and blood to drive the enemy back to where they were supposed to be. ”
"The time of this battle is not long, from the Liao ancestors began to attack, to their return to the northern grasslands, before and after a total of three months, the early Liao ancestors captured several cities in the border passes, and the retreating defenders confronted Jincheng, the two sides were in a stalemate here for nearly half a month, and only when the three batches of reinforcements arrived, did they start to launch a counteroffensive." Shen Haolin glanced at Jin Miaomiao, "The defenders and reinforcements combined, there are almost 100,000 people, and they are basically tied with the enemy's numbers. ”
"When the battle is over and the battle damage is counted, there are only more than 37,000 of the 70,000 people of King Tong, and the defenders ......" Shen Cha shook his head lightly, "less than 5,000 people." ”
"It's so high?" Jin Miaomiao frowned, "This is not quite right!" Did they have an accident? Even if the ancestors of the Liao people are powerful, they can't be so powerful, right? How many of them are left? ”
"There were less than 20,000 of the 100,000 people left, and later I heard that more than 10,000 people encountered a blizzard on the way back, and lost another 5,000 people."
"That's what they deserve, who let them start a war!" Jin Miaomiao touched her chin, "It's so strange that the battle damage is so high." She looked at Shen Haolin, and then at Shen Cha, "Don't you think there's anything wrong here?" ”
"What Xiao Cha just said is only the number of people who died in battle, and among the living, there are still injured!" His Royal Highness King Ning met Jin Miaomiao's shocked gaze and shook his head helplessly, "That time I led the troops, there was a fierce general, who was the henchman of King Tong, and he brought his three thousand men and horses to attack the camp. It wasn't just to assassinate anyone, but each of the 3,000 men carried a small barrel of oil and a small bottle of wine. ”
"Oil? Wine? Jin Miaomiao frowned, "Are they going to burn down the company camp?" ”
"Clever!" His Royal Highness King Ning snapped his fingers, "Ruthless, right?" It was this raid that turned the tide of the battle, otherwise, it would not be so easy for them to drive out the ancestors of the Liao people. This time, they burned almost seven large battalions, suffered heavy casualties, and almost 30,000 people, and more than half of their grain and grass were destroyed in the fire. After the fire, the whole camp was black, with ...... bones Mountain. ”
"What about the people of Kiriwang? Ran out? ”
"Nope!" Shen Cha shook his head gently, "Three thousand for thirty thousand, it's worth it!" ”
"This fight is even more tragic than I imagined! The strong man is gone and never returns, which is really admirable! Jin Miaomiao touched her nose, looked at His Royal Highness King Ning, and then looked at Song Yaojia and Song Qiyun, "Old Ancestor...... No, it should be said that it is the brother of King Tong, who chose this time to counterattack, if it is not criticized, it will be strange. ”
"Being criticized for being light is light, this kind of behavior is tantamount to taking advantage of the fire to rob!" His Royal Highness King Ning shook his head gently, "It's too despised, it's no wonder that his family's reputation has always been bad, and even when he resigned and returned to Jiangnan, the old ancestor didn't keep it too much." ”
"The old ancestor should also have a pimple in his heart."
"This is natural, and no one wants to be saddled with such an infamy."
