…

While Xiao Gan attacked Liaoshigang at night and defeated the Liangshan Beiwei Army and the Tenth Infantry Army, the Liao army also lost a lot of soldiers and horses, but in fact did not make much profit.

Xiao Gan felt that the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan Army was too strong, and it was not weaker than the Jin Army.

You must know that Xiao Gan took advantage of the encirclement point reinforcement, which is also an ambush, and he failed to achieve a big victory.

In particular, the strong combat power displayed by the ambushed Beiwei Army and the later reinforcements of the Tabai Army, the Enemy Breaking Army, the Youyi Army and the Shengjie Army gave Xiao Gan a great shock.

Xiao Gan never expected that the main generals of these Liangshan armies were all super-first-class qi refiners and ten thousand enemies, they were ambushed first, and the soldiers and horses were several times that of the Liangshan army, to paraphrase Jiang Hongfei's words in a film and television drama in his last life, Xiao Gan had not fought such a rich battle for a long time.

But the result was that the tens of thousands of Liao troops led by Xiao Gan were killed and retreated by more than 10,000 Liangshan troops, and even the Beiwei Army and the Infantry Tenth Army, which were surrounded by the Liao army's heavy troops, failed to eat.

This battle gave Xiao Gan a clearer understanding of the combat power of the Liangshan Army.

Xiao Gan remembered what Xiao Puxian told him two days ago: "Big brother, I feel that my great power has gone. ”

Seeing that he was not the opponent of the Liangshan army, Xiao Gan hesitated, gave up capturing the thief and captured the king first, and chose to retreat, preparing to find an opportunity to try to sneak attack the Liangshan army's grain village, hoping to force the Liangshan army to retreat.

Of course, even so, there are still many generals who advocate going to the rescue of the Liao army in the middle of the road.

At that time, some people advocated immediately going to the rescue of the Liao army in the middle route, but Yue Fei and others believed that there were 100,000 people in the Liao army in the middle route, and Jiang Hongfei and others had been fighting in the south and north for many years, so they would definitely not be attacked by Xiao Gan, and they should take advantage of this opportunity to ambush Xiao Gan's department and eliminate this Liao army on the way Xiao Gan came back.

Zhu Wu, Mrs. Jia and other commanders stood on the top of the mountain to observe the battle situation.

I saw that arrows were fired in the woods on both sides, and arrows rained down.

And, to be honest, at that time, it was a little too late for the left and right Liao troops to rescue the Liao army on the middle road.

However, in the end, Zhu Wu and Mrs. Jia still resisted the pressure and chose to ambush Xiao Gan.

However, soon, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jue, Liu Qi, Wang Yu, Wang Yan, Li Yanxian, Zhao Li and other generals analyzed that it must be Xiao Gan who transferred the men and horses here to attack the Liao army led by Jiang Hongfei himself.

But it was too late.

This is also understandable, after all, the middle route of the Liao army is personally commanded by Jiang Hongfei, in case of an accident, then their efforts to attack Liao will be abandoned, not to mention the turmoil in Shuibo Liangshan.

The Liao army was caught off guard by the left and right attacking Liao troops, and tens of thousands of military horses were all covered and hit by arrows like a torrential rain.

So, Zhu Wu, Mrs. Jia and others mobilized elites and set up an ambush to ambush Xiao Gan at the suggestion of a staff officer who was familiar with the terrain.

The cavalry of the Liao army on the left and right sides of Liangshan, hidden in the pine forest, were like tigers descending from the mountain, shooting at the Liao army while rushing towards the Liao army.

At Zhu Wu's signal, he saw the herald waving the command flag in his hand, and the trumpeter standing beside him whined and blew the horn of the charge.

As mentioned in the previous document, after the left and right Liao troops crossed the Lugou River without any danger and danger, they found that although there were fortifications left by the Liao army on the opposite side, there were only a few hundred Liao troops, and these hundreds of Liao troops also scattered and fled after seeing that the Liangshan army really dared to cross the Lugou River.

Seeing that Xiao Gan chose to brave the rain of arrows to rush forward, Zhu Wu, Mrs. Jia and the others all laughed.

When Xiao Gan led a group of Liao troops to hurry through a large pine forest, Xiao Gan felt that there was a thick yin atmosphere here, and the situation seemed to be a little bad.

But as soon as Xiao Gan led his men and horses to retreat across the Baigou River, they were ambushed by the Liangshan army.

Some people may ask, where did the Liangshan army that ambushed Xiao Gan come from?

The answer is very simple, it is the left and right sides of the Liao army.

Although Xiao Gan retreated very decisively after losing to the Liao army in the middle of Liangshan, he was still ambushed by the Liao army on the left and right of Liangshan.

Xiao Gan trusted his instincts very much, and he immediately ordered: "Hurry! Withdraw it! ”

Later, Zhang Xian was even more fortunate to catch a few Liao soldiers who did not have time to escape, and proved the guesses of Yue Fei and others from their mouths.

Soon, the two armies came into contact and fierce battles were fierce.

What made Xiao Gan even more bitter was that when they were fighting with the Liangshan army that ambushed them, the Liangshan army that was pursuing them actually arrived at the battlefield.

As soon as they arrived at the battlefield, Du Yan, Lu Junyi, Sun An, Shi Wengong, Wang Jin and others were ready to participate in the war.

But without waiting for Du Yan and the others to make a move, Chen Xizhen drove the cloud to them and asked them to rest as soon as possible and prepare for the pursuit.

As soon as Du Yan and the others heard this, they immediately dismounted, people ate dried meat, horses fed beans, people and horses drank water, solved the three emergencies, sharpened their knives, and waited for the left and right sides to defeat the Liao army, so that they could pursue and kill this Liao army.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Du Bao and others are so stable is mainly because the left and right sides of the Liao army have the advantage of ambush and numbers at this time, and they are pressing the Liao army to fight and occupy the absolute upper hand.

I saw that in the huge forest, the dust was flying, the sound of killing shook the sky, and a bloody battle lasted for more than an hour, and it didn't end until dawn.

The morning glow gradually stained the severed head, limbs, and torso red, and blood splattered everywhere. On the battlefield, fallen horses and mutilated corpses were intertwined, and pools of blood filled with fear and despair. The soldiers of the Liangshan army and the warriors of the Liao army were mixed, and only their clothing could distinguish them from each other. The air was filled with a pungent smell of blood, which was disgusting.

The mortally wounded soldiers struggled on the ground, their eyes blurred, as if they were looking for their way to heaven, and as if they were afraid of falling into the abyss of hell. The corners of his mouth twitched, and it was hard to tell whether it was a smile or a moan of pain.

Seeing that he was really invincible, Xiao Gan could only lead more than 10,000 remnants of the defeated army to open a bloody road and break out of the encirclement of the Liangshan army. Blood splattered on his clothes, face and hair, his eyes were red and his eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to eat people, and as if he had just eaten people, he was full of spiritual power, people blocked and killed, and Buddha blocked and killed Buddha!

But at this moment, the rested Beiwei Army, the Tabai Army, the Broken Enemy Army, the You Yi Army, and the Shengjie Army screamed and began to cover up the Liao Army.

Where can the Liao army, which has been fighting for a night, withstand the iron hooves and sharp swords of the Beiwei army and other armies who are waiting for work?

The Liao army was soon dispersed and fled to Yanjing City.

Before long, the infantry troops of the left and right Liao armies began to make up for the aftermath in the forest, and the horse armies in the left and right Liao armies also began to cover up and kill the Liao army that was defeated by the Beiwei army and other armies.

Later history books record this history: this battle, from the north of the Lugou River and south of Yanjing, the dead bodies of the Liao army were invincible, and the throwing soldiers were full of suburbs.

Xiao Puxian received the news of the defeat of the Liao army, and hurriedly sent Wu Yanguang to lead the eleventh Yao general of the Liao State and the twenty-eighth general to rescue Xiao Gan.

The eleventh Yao general of the Liao State is the personal soldier of the supreme ruler of the Northern Liao, that is, the guard force, which is the most elite team in the Northern Liao, these people can fight well and endure the war, and they are not afraid of death when they fight, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

The two sides fought about ten miles away from Yanjing, and they won and lost each other.

When Zhu Wu and Mrs. Jia caught up, they saw that it was impossible for their side to achieve greater results, so they ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

In the evening, Xiao Gan received an order from Xiao Puxiannu, ordering him to camp outside Yanjing City, gather his team, and stand by in place.

At that time, the sky was gray and dull, and Xiao Gan stared at the dark and gloomy sky, with mixed feelings.

Xiao Gan has been in the army for more than 30 years, how can he have fought such a big defeat?

Xiao Gan asked himself: "Is Da Liao really finished?" ”

……

When Xiao Puxian learned the news of Xiao Gan's defeat at Lugouhe, she was shocked and angry, and her beautiful face was full of iron and blue.

Xiao Puxian really never expected that her invincible brother would suffer such a big defeat.

How is this possible?!!!

After Xiao Puxian reluctantly accepted this cruel truth, another problem bothered her.

It is said that Xiao Gan fought such a big defeat and should be beheaded according to military law.

But how can Xiao Puxian's daughter kill Xiao Gan, the two are brothers and sisters.

Moreover, Xiao Gan fought bravely and made outstanding achievements, and it was definitely inappropriate to deal with him in accordance with military law.

Besides, Xiao Puxian's ability to obtain the supreme ruling power of Northern Liao was mainly due to Xiao Gan's support.

However, if Xiao Gan is not dealt with, where is the military authority? How can you convince the public?

Xiao Puxian hesitated and had nothing to do, she asked Li Chuwen, who rarely took the initiative to come to see her: "The king of the four armies has lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and the captain is looking at it, how should he be punished?" ”

Li Chuwen knew the relationship between Xiao Gan and Xiao Pu's virtuous daughter, so he defended Xiao Gan and said: "Actually, the king of the four armies is already very powerful, he has several times the enemy's men and horses, and he has also caused 10,000 casualties to the enemy, which is not a complete defeat. In Yichen's opinion, it is better to let the king of the four armies exchange with the big stone forest teeth, so that my Great Liao Eleven Yao generals can gather, put out the chaos of my Great Liao, and fight a decisive battle with the Liangshan army, so that my Great Liao will be put to death and come back to life. ”

Juyongguan is only a few dozen miles away from Yanjing City, once something goes wrong, Xiao Gan will definitely be able to lead the people of Juyongguan to rescue Yanjing City at the first time.

Moreover, Li Chuwen's proposal to use the Chaotian Array to fight the Liangshan Army is also in line with the mind of the strong character Xiao Puxiannu, anyway, let Xiao Puxiannu admit defeat, Xiao Puxiannu is extremely unwilling.

Xiao Puxian's daughter praised repeatedly: "The Taiwei's proposal is very much in the heart of the mourning family!" ”

Xiao Pu then asked people to draft an order: to order Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi to change their positions.

After dealing with the defeat of Xiao Gan, Xiao Puxian and Li Chuwen came to the Yuanhe Palace, ascended to the Treasure Palace, and gathered the civil and military officials, the prime minister Li Chuwen, the left prime minister Youxi Xiaojin, the right prime minister Chu Jian, the general of the unified army and other people, and discussed in the court.

Xiao Puxian said: "That is, Mu Jiangyan invaded the border, occupied Yizhou and Zhuozhou, and now he is committing Yanjing, sooner or later he will come to invade the imperial city, and Yanjing will be difficult to protect!" You and other civil and military ministers, when the country is troubled, how to deal with it? ”

The news of the defeat of the Liao army has long been spread in Yanjing City.

The ministers of Northern Liao really didn't expect that Xiao Gan would be able to suffer such a big defeat this time!

Even in the eyes of some people, the Liao army seems to be vulnerable!

If this is the case, then they really have to discuss what is going on in Beiliao.

Seeing that no one spoke, Li Chuwen asked Xiao Rong and Han Fang, who had just returned from Jiang Hongfei: "What news did you bring back from your envoy to Shuibo Liangshan this time?" ”

Xiao Rong listened to this, and euphemistically told Jiang Hongfei that he wanted to take Xiao Pu's virtuous daughter as a concubine.

What is a little surprising is that Xiao Puxian did not get angry when she heard this, and I don't know if it was because she already knew about it.

However, Wu Yanguang and other Liao State eleventh Yao generals and twenty-eight Su generals were furious when they heard this, and they said one after another: "Han dog insults me Da Liao too much, bullies me Da Liao no one, and is angry with me!" ”

Wu Yanguang took this opportunity to bow down to Xiao Puxian's daughter and said: "The former slaves and maids often lead the troops by themselves, and they are often hindered by others, so that they develop a thief and become such a catastrophe. Fu begged to send a holy decree, appointed the ministers to select and transfer military horses, and joined the soldiers from all over the world, and Kerixing Division. It is necessary to capture Jiang Yan and other thieves and restore the original city. Avenge this humiliation for my Daliao and for the Queen Mother! ”

Xiao Pu Xiannu was waiting for Wu Yanguang's words, she said: "This is a decisive battle for the whole country, the mourning family allows you to wait for the eleventh Yao general and the twenty-eighth general to establish Dasheng Mansion, recruit 150,000 patriotic warriors, gather 200,000 troops, and choose the day to go out of the city and fight with the Liangshan bandits!" ”

After Wu Yanguang and other Liao State 11 Yao generals and 28 Su generals received the order, they began to set up command organs. They appointed more than 100 personnel from the organs, such as staff officers, writing machines, official affairs, and writing preparation envoys, and commanded and prepared envoys, and also selected and appointed dozens of officials from the three provinces, government departments, and household houses.

As a temporary supreme military command organization to defend Yanjing City, Dasheng Mansion was quickly established in a very short period of time under the leadership of Wu Yanguang and other generals of the 11th Yao and 28th generals, and began to operate at a high speed.

At the same time, on the main streets of Yanjing City, a list of recruiting warriors was soon posted. These lists were all published in the name of Dasheng Mansion, which attracted great attention from the citizens of Yanjing.

There is no restriction on the object of this recruitment, regardless of Fanhan, as long as they are loyal to the Great Liao Dynasty and have martial and brave fighters, they are all within the scope of recruitment, and I hope that these martial and brave people can report to Dasheng Mansion immediately after seeing the list text.

In fact, not everyone is like Xiao Puxiannu and the eleventh Yao general of the Liao State and the twenty-eighth general of the Liao State who advocate the strength of Shuibo Liangshan.

What a large number of literati led by Li Chuwen thought was to agree to Shuibo Liangshan's conditions and marry Xiao Puxian's daughter to Jiang Hongfei as a concubine, in exchange for the safety of hundreds of thousands of Yanjing's subjects.

can force the queen mother to marry the enemy as a concubine, it is really easy to say and not good, Xiao Puxian is a strong character, and the eleventh Yao general and the twenty-eighth general of the Liao State are clamoring for a decisive battle with the Liangshan army.

There was no way, Li Chuwen could only summon Han Fang and a large number of other people who advocated throwing water into Liangshan to come to his house to discuss countermeasures.

Li Chuwen said: "My Daliao has repeatedly fought with the Liangshan army, and the soldiers have not profited. Today, the public soldiers of Jiangguo are strong and strong, and they will recover the sixteen states of Yanyun and the hometown of the Han people, which is rare and controlled. I am a big Liao, the five capitals have lost four of them, and there are strong Jurchen enemies on the side, and if I can't be protected by the Duke of Jiangguo, I will be ruined. And at the end of the strong crossbow, the force cannot enter Lu Min; At the end of the storm, the force cannot be bleached. Not at the beginning, but also at the end. It's inconvenient to hit, it's better to ...... with relatives"

In fact, putting aside the feelings of Xiao Puxian and some radical Liao people, at this moment when Northern Liao is about to perish, Shuibo Liangshan's proposition is indeed the best choice at present.

At least in the eyes of these Northern Liao ministers who were determined to surrender to Shuibo Liangshan, this is the case.

Therefore, a group of Northern Liao ministers who were determined to surrender to Shuibo Liangshan echoed Li Chuwen's proposal.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his point of view, Li Chuwen said: "It's just that the Queen Mother has a strong personality, and she must not listen to our persuasion, so it is better to wait for the eleventh Yao general and the twenty-eighth general to lead the troops to a decisive battle with the Liangshan army, and we will hold the Queen Mother Nacheng and join the Jiangguo Gong......"
