Chapter 309: Long live my emperor, long live, long live
…
After receiving the reinforcement request from Hua Rong and others, Jiang Hongfei immediately arranged for Chen Xizhen to lead Du Yan, Lu Junyi, Sun An, Shi Wengong and Wang Jin to lead the Beiwei Army, the Tabai Army, the Enemy Breaking Army, the Youyi Army and the Shengjie Army to Yanjing City for reinforcements.
This time for reinforcements, there is no need to detour to Gu'an and walk more than 300 miles, but can directly take the nearest road to Yanjing City, presumably there will not be many obstructors on this road.
Calculating the distance, it is more than ten miles away.
Although the five horse armies that went to reinforce also fought fiercely for a night, no matter how slow they were in the journey of more than ten miles, no matter how great the resistance they encountered on the road, they would definitely arrive in two or three hours.
And this is only the first wave of reinforcements sent by Jiang Hongfei to Yanjing City, and when Jiang Hongfei finishes here, Jiang Hongfei will inevitably send a second wave of reinforcements and a third wave of reinforcements until the army all goes to Yanjing City......
Not to mention that after Chen Xizhen and the others received the order, they immediately led the army to set off.
Let's just talk about post-war statistics:
In this battle, the Liao army suffered more than 50,000 casualties, and more than 120,000 were captured alive.
The Liangshan army captured more than 57,400 fully usable war horses, more than 29,600 wounded and dead horses, more than 179,600 bows and crossbows, more than 6,740,000 arrows, and more than 179,300 pairs of armor.
And the Liangshan army's own casualties were only a little more than 20,000.
Obviously, in this decisive battle, which is related to the fortunes of the country and even the survival of the country, the Liangshan army has achieved an unprecedented victory.
Jiang Hongfei ordered that all the horses obtained would be used for the expansion of the horse army, and all the horse army, whether it was armored heavy cavalry, heavy cavalry, or light cavalry, was expanded from the original 3,000 men and horses to 5,000 horses, and all the generals were immediately assigned to mount.
After explaining the big and small things, Jiang Hongfei handed over all the follow-up things to Gao Liang, Liu Huiniang, Zhu Wu and others to follow up, and Jiang Hongfei himself led those soldiers and horses who did not participate in the war too much and went straight to Juyong Pass.
It should be noted that before leaving, Jiang Hongfei ordered: After the rest of the armies, let Liu Qi and Wu Jue each lead 10,000 horses to seize Gubeikou and Songting Pass, and then capture Danzhou and Jingzhou respectively on the way. In addition, Yue Fei was sent to capture Jizhou, and Han Shizhong was sent to capture Shunzhou.
Be.
Yanjing City is the most important city in Yandi.
But only Yanjing City, not Yongguan, Gubeikou and Songting Pass, Yandi is still not a fart here, and it is not much safer than other cities.
Only by controlling Juyong Pass, Gubeikou, Songting Pass, as well as Jinpo Pass and Baoma Pass, which were already under the control of Shuibo Liangshan, could it be regarded as completely blocking all the passages of Hulu from the middle road to the south.
Among them, Juyongguan is the most important.
You know, Yandi, fertile fields for thousands of miles, the north limit of the mountains, the heavy mountains and obstacles, there are five passes, only Juyong Pass can be a big car, through the transfer, Gubeikou, Songting Pass, Jinpo Pass are all stop through people and horses but can not be driven, there are eighteen small roads outside, as far as the rabbit path bird road, stop being able to pass people, not horses, just build a military village, put hundreds of people, just prevent a defense.
It is precisely because Juyong Pass is the most convenient among the five passes of Gongwei Yanjing, so it has become the best way to attack Yanjing.
Moreover, the situation of Juyong Pass is dangerous, it is the northwest gate of Yanjing, and it has been a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times, and the wars that have occurred in history around the battle for Juyong Pass and then entering and occupying Yanjing have emerged one after another.
If Jiang Hongfei wants to live here in Yanjing, he must recover Juyongguan.
This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Hongfei immediately defeated the Liao army in the decisive battle and went non-stop to recover Juyong Pass.
Of course, this is certainly not the only reason.
Also, since Yanjing City was defeated by Hua Rong and them, then Xiao Puxian will definitely transfer the men and horses guarding Juyong Pass to rescue Yanjing City, so that Juyong Pass will inevitably be empty, so it will be much easier to fight.
The key is that there is still the main force of the Jin Army led by Wanyan Agu on the side of Juyong Pass.
If Jiang Hongfei doesn't take Juyong Pass quickly, but lets Jin Jun take Juyong Pass, then it will be a big trouble.
Didn't say it.
Jiang Hongfei personally led an army of 30,000 or 40,000 to Juyong Pass.
I don't know if there is a providence in the dark, Jiang Hongfei has just arrived at Juyong Pass, and the cliff rock of Juyong Pass, which has been standing safe and sound for thousands of years, collapsed by itself, and many Liao soldiers were crushed to death, and the Liao army guarding Juyong Pass collapsed without a fight.
Seeing this incomparably magical scene, the soldiers of the Liangshan Army were shocked, and under the leadership of several people who reacted quickly, they knelt down to Jiang Hongfei in unison: "God bless my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!! ”
At this time, Jiang Hongfei's team included Wang Yu, Li Yanxian, Zhao Li and other Song generals who came from the Zhao Song Dynasty, as well as Zhao Ding, Qiu Xi, Chen Gongfu and other civil officials who came from the Zhao Song Dynasty.
To be honest, the reasons why these people work for Jiang Hongfei are complicated.
Some of them were abandoned by the Zhao and Song dynasties, and they had a rebellious mentality.
Some of them had to work for Jiang Hongfei because their families were all in Jiang Hongfei's hands.
Some of them also chose to temporarily serve Jiang Hongfei because Jiang Hongfei did not want to start a war with the Zhao and Song Dynasty, but to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun for the Han nation.
Of course, there are also some of them because they feel that Jiang Hongfei is wise and wise, open-minded, and knows people well, and initially decided to live in Liangshan, that is, to do the way for heaven, eradicate those high-ranking officials and nobles, wealthy families, and gentry in the Zhao and Song dynasties, distribute land, grain, and debts to the poor, eliminate the inherent gap between the rich and the poor, and adopt a new system to enable the people to live a good life.
However, there is one thing to say, these people are more or less helpless to serve Jiang Hongfei, and they are not willing to serve Jiang Hongfei from the bottom of their hearts.
But now, Jiang Hongfei first recovered the Yan land, which was very important to the Han people, and then arrived at Juyong Pass, where such a magical scene descended.
This can't help but make people believe that Jiang Hongfei is the chosen son, and he will definitely be able to make the world unified, and he was born to save the suffering, and they are on the right path with the right people.
Think about Zhao Ji's mediocrity again, and the image of the Zhao Song Dynasty's demise.
The point is, the atmosphere has been set to this point at this time.
Wang Yu, Li Yanxian, Zhao Li, Zhao Ding, Qiu Yi, Chen Gongfu and others could only kneel down with these tens of thousands of people and shout loudly: "God bless my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!! ”
After Jiang Hongfei took Juyong Pass without much effort, he immediately transferred craftsmen to repair Juyong Pass, and at the same time appointed Wang Yu to stay at Juyong Pass, and allocated 10,000 elite soldiers to him.
During this period, Jiang Hongfei also learned from the Liao soldiers who stayed behind that Xiao Puxian really transferred Xiao Gan to lead the Liao army in Juyongguan back to Yanjing City to rescue him, and Xiao Gan took 3,000 men and horses to Yanjing as soon as possible.
After learning about this, Jiang Hongfei called Ma Ling and asked him to go to Yanjing City to spread his will, let them be careful of Xiao Gan, and prepare to take over, and he would go to Yanjing City later......
……
Xiao Gan, who was stationed at Juyong Pass to defend the Jin army, was taken aback when he learned that the Liangshan army had invaded Yanjing City, and he hurriedly gathered 3,000 cavalry and quickly galloped to Yanjing City for reinforcements.
Halfway through, Xiao Gan ordered: everyone took off their military uniforms and tops and dressed up as Liangshan Army.
Juyongguan is only about 100 miles away from Yanjing City, and if you hurry up, you can complete this distance in only half a day.
Therefore, at dusk, Xiao Gan led his army to the west gate of Yanjing City, and he ordered the Han people in the team to shout to the city gate tower: "We are the reinforcements of the Liangshan army, open the city gate quickly!" ”
Because of the dark and dark light, the soldiers of the Liangshan Army defending the city did not see that it was the Liao army, not the Liangshan army.
Of course, this is mainly because Hua Rong also asked for help, and if you calculate the time, the reinforcements of the Liangshan Army should really arrive.
When the soldiers of the Liangshan Army guarding the city gate saw a large group of cavalry coming from outside the city, they thought that reinforcements were coming, and they happily opened the city gate and prepared to fall off the drawbridge.
But at this moment, another group of men and horses came in the distance.
This army is also 3,000 people, and they are even waving the banner of the Liangshan Army, and the officers and soldiers of the Liangshan Army guarding the city gate take a closer look.
In this comparison, the soldiers of the Liangshan Army who guarded the city gate realized that the support army that came first was a bit different from the Liangshan Army.
Think about it again, they are all reinforcements, why do they come in different directions?
The key is that at this moment, a general with a Zhangba snake spear suddenly came in the clouds, and he said loudly in the air with the secret method of sound transmission: "I am the military master Chen Xizhen, don't open the city, that's the Liao army!" ”
The soldiers of the Liangshan Army who guarded the city gate heard the words and hurriedly closed the city gate that had been opened.
Xiao Gan hated, and he urged his Han people: "Keep calling the door!" ”
How can this be called, let those Han people scream their throats, and all they get is silence and closed city gates.
Xiao Gan was furious, he urged the war horse under his crotch, and led his three thousand Liao troops to meet the enemy.
Dragon slayer Sun An laughed: "Good come!" Immediately, he clamped the BMW and led the enemy army to meet him.
The two armies started a fair fight under this Yanjing City!
The Liao army led by Xiao Gan, armed with a scimitar, rushed towards the enemy army like a storm.
Their tactics were clear, with the intention of overwhelming them and crushing the enemy in one fell swoop.
Sun An was not afraid at all, and with an order, the enemy army was like a pack of predatory wolves, roaring and rushing towards the Liao army.
Although the number was equal to that of the Liao army, the morale of the broken enemy army, which had just won the decisive battle, far exceeded that of the Liao army.
The two armies clashed, war drums rumbled, weapons intersected, and a piercing sound of metal clashing.
On the battlefield, the dust was flying, the horses were neighing, and the shouts and screams of the soldiers were intertwined, forming a tragic and spectacular picture.
Fighting again, seeing the bravery of Liang Shanjun again, Xiao Gan couldn't help but feel a trace of desolation in his heart.
Xiao Gan understood that most of this battle would be lost, just like the battle between their Northern Liao and Shuibo Liangshan.
But Xiao Gan was unwilling, he had already worked so hard, why did he have to face such a result, there was no possibility of change at all?
So, Xiao Gan brandished his saber and shouted loudly, trying to boost morale.
Seeing the Liao army dying and struggling, Sun An didn't have to boost the morale of the broken enemy army, afraid that the Beiwei army, the Tabai army, the Youyi army and the Shengjie army who would soon come up snatched this piece of fat from the enemy soldiers, held their spears tightly, followed Sun An, who was holding both male and female swords, and rushed towards the Liao army again and again.
Although the Liao army was brave, under the fierce attack of the enemy's army, which was stronger in strength and morale, they who had traveled hundreds of miles in a hurry were still gradually showing fatigue from Xiao Gan downwards.
And the enemy army, although equal in number, gradually gained the upper hand because of its high morale and strong combat effectiveness.
Finally, under Sun An's order, the enemy army launched a final charge. They are like tigers descending from the mountains, unstoppable.
The Liao army collapsed in an instant under the onslaught of the broken enemy army.
What made the soldiers of the Liao army feel even more desperate was that the smoke and dust were billowing in the distance, which was a precursor to the appearance of tens of thousands of horses.
Xiao Gan looked at the irretrievable defeat, his heart was full of helplessness and despair, he knew that he had tried his best, but in the end he still lost.
Xiao Gan sighed unwillingly, and took the defeated Liao army to the north.
At this moment, Xiao Gan thought a lot, and he felt that the fundamental reason why he lost was not him.
If it weren't for Yelu Yanxi's mediocrity, Yuanxian ministers, and pro-villains, he kept running and didn't dare to resist, so that the situation in Liao was like this, he couldn't have lost.
Zuo Qigong once gave a high evaluation of the fighting spirit of the Liao army, and he wrote a poem:
Plugged into the clouds, the iron horse galloped noisily. It is worthy of the heroic soul of Liaohe, and he lost his courage all the way.
Xiao Gan couldn't help but think, if I built a country by myself and made my own decisions, would I no longer be able to fail because of the fault of others?
Xiao Gan thought of his hometown, Jianli Mountain, that is, north of Gubeikou, the settlement area of the Xi people.
The Xi nationality is a very ancient nation, belonging to the Donghu system, called Kumo Xi during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and was relatively strong in the Tang Dynasty, divided into five tribes. When Taizong of the Tang Dynasty conquered Goryeo, the great chief of the Xi tribe, Su Zhi, followed the expedition and made meritorious contributions. During the Tang Wu Zetian period, the Xi people rebelled and were in harmony with the Turks, known as the "Two Tibetans". The Xi people were sometimes attached to the Tang Dynasty and sometimes to the Turks. In order to stabilize the northeastern border, the Tang Dynasty adopted a policy of appeasement towards the Xi people. Later, the Xi people were hit by the Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, and the Liao Taizu conquered the Xi people several times before and after, and it took more than ten years to finally incorporate the Xi people into the Khitan regime and become the descendants of the Liao State.
Although they both belong to the Liao people, the Xi people are not the Khitans who have reached the end of the road, they also have a large number of clansmen, and it is definitely a powerful force to call them up.
That's right, on the whole, the area of Jianqi Mountain is too narrow, and not far to the east is the sea, the northern and western counties have been captured by the Jin army, and the south is occupied by Shuibo Liangshan, like a pocket.
However, the mountains are high and dense, the ravines are deep, the terrain is complex, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a Xi area, which is safe and easy to survive, and has the opportunity to develop and grow.
The key is that he is the king of Xi, and when he returns there, he can establish a Xi dynasty, and then lead the Xi people to rise on the grassland just like Wanyan Aguta led the Jurchens.
Thinking of these, although he was defeated, and it can even be said that the whole army was annihilated, but after escaping the pursuit of the enemy, in the face of the situation of only a few hundred people left, Xiao Gan still talked and laughed, and he did not look discouraged at all, he laughed and said: "Since Da Liao is dead, I, your King Xi, will lead you to Jianli Mountain to fight the world again......
