20,000 Yang family troops, under the leadership of four generals, rushed into the enemy group, and slashed with horses. Suddenly, stumps and severed arms flew around outside the south gate, turning this place into a human slaughterhouse.

The enemy army was too dense, and when they saw the Yang family army coming, they knew that their lives were threatened, but they were still scurrying around. In the end, there is no way to let go, there is no way to hide, and all of them have become cakes and sheep to be slaughtered. When the cavalry from afar came to the rescue, Shi Wengong and the others had already killed the 50,000 enemy troops besieging the city, and roared the horn of triumph to turn back to Taiyuan City......

Fiasco! An unprecedented fiasco! In the face of an invincible enemy, the towering Taiyuan City is like a steel pour, standing tall in front of a seemingly powerful enemy.

The victory in Taiyuan once again eloquently proved: if you offend my big man, you will be punished even if you are far away! Those who covet the Celestial Empire will be severely punished!

Taiyuan City became Xiao Yanguang's nightmare, when he saw tens of thousands of Liao Erlang, struggling under the enemy's iron hooves, and being killed under the enemy's sword, he immediately became angry and yelled: "I'm angry!" Like Zhou Lang and Zhou Yu back then, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he was half angry......

When the Liao army outside the south gate was defeated, the Liao army in the other three directions was also defeated by the heroic defenders, leaving thousands of corpses to flee in disarray.

Due to the Liao army commander Xiao Yan's phosgene illness and inability to serve, the young marshal Xiao Tielong consulted with Yelu Hongfu, Yelu Qitian and other major generals, and the whole army left Taiyuan, went south to Fenyang, and joined forces with Wanyan Lou and Jin Wushu and others......

After a big battle, the Chongjia army and the Yang family army fought together and wiped out more than 70,000 Liao soldiers. In this way, after entering Taiyuan Mansion, the Western Route Army of the Jinliao Coalition Army has lost 150,000 people (including the 50,000 losses in the attack on Taihang Mountain).

Press the Taiyuan Festival to make Zhongshi set up a banquet to celebrate the merits of the generals, and the rewards for meritorious deeds are not mentioned, and now I look back and talk about the situation in Fenyang.

Before Zhong Shizhong withdrew his troops from Taiyuan, he reached an agreement with Song Jiang that the two sides would guard their borders and form an alliance to jointly resist foreign enemies and protect the people of the Central Plains from the ravages of foreign races.

Zhong Shizhong told Song Jiang and others that the combat power of the Jin soldiers and the Liao soldiers was very strong, especially the cavalry of the Jin people, and even the cavalry of the Liao State was not an opponent.

In the field, our army in the Central Plains will never be able to defeat the Jin soldiers and the Liao soldiers. Therefore, in the face of the cavalry of the Jin and Liao people, we can only rely on the dangerous terrain and the high walls of the town to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

At that time, most of Song Jiang's generals thought that Zhong Shuai was old, his courage had become smaller, and he was a little afraid of the enemy.

When Song Jiang took over the boss of the Jin army, the Jin army was close to 200,000 people, and after hearing that the Jin people were about to invade, Song Jiang listened to the advice of Qiao Daoqing and Gongsun Sheng, and expanded the army by more than 100,000, so when Yan Lou entered Fenyang, Song Jiang's total strength reached more than 380,000.

After the news that Yan Lou Room had transferred to Fenyang with an army of 150,000, Tanma had already reported to Song Jiang and others.

Long before this, the Jin people sent people three times in a row to urge Song Jiang to lead troops north to assist Jin Liao to take the entire territory of Taiyuan Mansion, but Song Jiang was vague, deliberately pretending to be confused, and sent the Jin people's envoys away.

Now that Yan Lou led the troops straight to Fenyang, obviously to force them to stand in line. So Song Jiang ordered the right and left sides to beat the drum of the generals, and gathered the generals in Fenyang to discuss countermeasures.

At the meeting, Sun An said: "Taiyuan Jiedu envoy is reasonable, in the field, the Jin and Liao cavalry are very advantageous, we can only concentrate our forces in a few major places to defend the city, the Jin and Liao people are not good at attacking the city, it is possible to keep the current territory." Now that winter is coming, the climate is turning cold, and the Jin Liao army has been attacking the cities for a long time, so he retreats and turns south. As long as we hold a few large and important towns, after the enemy moves south, we can unite with the Zhongjia Army and attack the enemy's logistics support troops, and we can also kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions to the country.

Song Jiang disagreed with Sun An's point of view, he said: "According to the report of Tanma, the enemy's soldiers and horses are only 150,000, and our men and horses are more than 300,000, which is more than twice that of the enemy. ”

"Now, with the invasion of more than one million troops in Jinliao, the country is employing people, and the imperial court will inevitably appease us with good words and recruit us, so that we can wait to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions."

"If we seize the opportunity and help the imperial court defeat the Jin and Liao people, the imperial court will inevitably reward us for meritorious deeds and give us an official and a half-position, and we will have a serious birth, so in the future, when we go underground, we will have the face to meet our ancestors."

Song Jiang was too utilitarian, and what he was thinking about was Zhao'an, so he didn't listen to Sun An's advice. In addition, the subordinates brought by Song Jiang, Hu Yanzhuo, Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Hua Rong, Dong Ping, Yang Xiong and others, all of whom were originally from the official army, agreed with Song Jiang's practice of accepting Zhao'an and returning to the imperial court.

Qiao Daoqing and Gongsun Sheng were originally born in Daomen, indifferent to fame and fortune, as long as they can contribute to the country, they don't care whether they have fame and official status, and they don't have any objections to Song Jiang's opinions.

In this way, Song Jiang's opinion prevailed. So Song Jiang began to arrange as the boss.

Song Jiang pointed to the map of Fenyang Mansion and said, this is Panlong Valley, which is the only way for Taiyuan to enter Fenyang, otherwise it will take more than 100 miles to bypass the mountains on both sides. According to the report of Tanma, the valley of Panlong Valley is more than 20 miles long, and the narrowest part of the valley mouth is 30 steps, and the widest part is only 15 steps.

Therefore, all the men and horses passing through the valley floor were within the range of the bows and arrows of the ambushes on both sides. It is fifty miles away from Fenyang City, and it takes half a day to arrive. Now the Jinliao coalition army is still thousands of miles away, and it will take at least seven or eight days to arrive.

It is estimated that in six days there will be scouts to explore the way, so we still have enough time to set up an ambush.

Bian Xiang said: "Many of the old men of our Jin army have been to Panlong Valley, the slope on both sides is relatively flat, and there are few trees, and the war horses can rush up the mountainside. If an ambush is set up above the mountainside, more than a thousand paces from the bottom of the valley, it will not pose a threat to the enemy. If you are below the mountainside, the enemy's cavalry will arrive in the blink of an eye, and you will be chased and beaten by the enemy's cavalry. Therefore, although there are many bends and eight turns in Panlong Valley, there is a lack of trees below the halfway up the mountain, and it is too gentle for ambush, so please think twice.

Hua Rong said: "It is precisely because it is not suitable for ambush that when the enemy's probe horses come to inspect the terrain, they will not reconnoiter carefully, and they will not find that there is an ambush here." When the time comes, if you take it by surprise and attack it unprepared, you will inevitably succeed. "Hua Rong is an admirer of Song Jiang, and only Song Jiang's orders are obeyed.

Sun An said: "Since it is the big boss, he is determined to ambush the enemy. The combined forces of our troops in three days were only 300,000 at that time, and there was a state on each side of Panlong Valley, which was 400 miles away from Panlong Valley, and the men and horses who were ambushed in the west could first transfer their families to the most remote state in the west, and the men and horses in ambush on the east side could send people to the most remote state in the east. ”

Qiao Daoqing said: "General Sun is reasonable, and he will worry about defeat before he wins, so that everyone can be relieved of their worries." I don't think it's better to divide the troops like this, General Sun An and the old generals in the Jin army led half of the men and horses to ambush in the west of Panlong, and the big leader led half of the men and horses to ambush in the east. Prepare more boulders and logs at the place where you want to go out of the valley, and use false trees to block them, when the enemy's front army wants to go out of the valley. Dropping the rolling logs and rocks on both sides will not block the enemy's path, but the stones and giant trees everywhere will inevitably affect the enemy's forward speed, and at the same time cause damage to the enemy's horses. ”
