Chapter 250: The Emperor's Encounter

"Woo~woo~" The sound of the grand horn sounded again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Unlike Jerodinde's command, the sound of this trumpet represents an attack.

The Khitan Iron Cavalry was confused, and did not understand whose orders to follow, whether to attack, or to stop.

"The Great Khan is angry!" Xiao Han sighed.

Yelu Tiande was silent, of course he knew that Yelu Deguang was angry. He had long been aware of the displeasure of Yerod Light, and although he had always been known for his generosity, that did not mean that this sturdy wolf did not have its sharp fangs.

"Then attack!" Yelu Tiande thought for a moment, waved his horsewhip, and with a "snap", he held up a dodge whip in the air, and he could only express his anger in this way.

But just now that moment of hesitation had already opened the distance between the Khitan Iron Cavalry and the Jin army by more than hundreds of zhang.

However, Yelu Tiande thinks that this is not a problem, the Khitan iron cavalry is unparalleled, and the Jin army wants to compare with them, but it is too tender.

Zhangjiazhuang arrived in a blink of an eye, the door of the village was wide open, and Ding Hu and Ding Bao were standing on the wall of Zhangjiazhuang, each holding an old man in their hands. They used the simplest way to force the people of Zhangjiazhuang to open the door of Zhuangzi.

Seeing that the last cavalry horse of the Jin army was in front of them, galloping into Zhangjiazhuang, and then, the heavy Zhuang of Zhangjiazhuang closed with a "bang", and Yelu Tiande's face was ugly.

The wall of Zhangjiazhuang is made of stones, with mud in the middle, which is more than one zhang high.

If it is only defended by some militia groups, it is not too difficult to take down such a Zhuangzi. But now it is different, there are 3,000 elite soldiers of the Jin State in Zhuangzi, fighting on horses, these people may not be the opponent of the brave Khitan iron cavalry, but now they occupy Zhangjiazhuang, with a solid wall, these 3,000 elite soldiers of the Jin State can completely damage the Khitan iron cavalry who dismounted and fought.

What's even more difficult is that Yelu Tiande did not bring siege equipment, and his second-rate masters were killed by Li Fengyun a lot. This means that he will have to pay more to capture this Zhuangzi.

Of course, the entry of 3,000 elite soldiers into Zhangjiazhuang will inevitably cause great pressure on the grain and grass of Zhangjiazhuang, as long as there is time, a long siege continues, I believe that it will not be long before this Jin army will collapse without a fight.

However, there is no ambush behind the small soil slope, which does not mean that there are no reinforcements from the Jin State around, maybe at this time, the reinforcements of the Jin State are on the way, and Yelu Tiande does not have so much time to wait.

Moreover, it was impossible for Yelu Khan to let him besiege Zhangjiazhuang for a long time. The horn of "Woo~Woo~" is still blowing, which is urging him to quickly solve the enemy army in Zhangjiazhuang!

"Dismount and prepare for foot battle!" ordered Jerodinde.

"Do you really want to fight?" Xiao Han was a little surprised, "To capture this Zhuangzi, how many Khitan men will we die?"

"Isn't it true that our Khitan men won't fight without horses?" Yelu Tiande's face was very unkind, and he sighed and said, "My third brother has always been dissatisfied with me, no matter what, this battle will be fought. Old Xiao, do you understand my situation?"

"General Li, the elder brother is the emperor of Yicheng Jiedu (Note 1), you have no opinion on calling yourself an elder brother, right?" Seeing that his subordinates had all entered Zhangjiazhuang, and the Khitan Iron Cavalry stopped outside the village, the yellow-faced general breathed a sigh of relief, found Li Fengyun and said.

Li Fengyun arched his hand and smiled: "Of course I have no opinion, I have heard the name of General Huangfu for a long time, last time I was in Yunzhou, I heard that it was the Yelu Mada army that crossed the Yellow River that the general led the army to break, but it was a pity that I couldn't see General Huangfu at that time." I didn't expect to meet the general here, but I was really lucky. ”

Huangfu Yu smiled and said: "Where is it, if it wasn't for General Li's clever plan to burn most of the ferries in Majiakou, how could my brother's battle be fought so smoothly? This time, it was General Li who came out again and rescued 3,000 soldiers from the mouth of the Khitans, and my brother really wanted to thank General Li for saving his life. ”

"They are all comrades, since they have met, how can there be any reason to sit idly by?" Li Fengyun said, "There is no need to mention the grace of saving lives, not to mention that we are still under siege, and I also ask General Huangfu to arrange defense affairs quickly." ”

Huangfu said: "I have already asked Ji Gang and Du Zhimin to arrange this, and the two of them will do things, I can rest assured! However, Zhangjiazhuang is a land of projectiles, and I am afraid that it will not last long." I wonder what General Li can do?"

"Don't worry too much about this!" replied Li Fengyun, "When I crossed the Anyang River, I saw General An Xianqi's subordinates, and I thought that General An's camp should be nearby. Before entering the siege, I had already ordered my guards to go to General An's army to ask for help, and the meeting place was this Zhangjiazhuang.

If General An can lead his army to meet and attack us inside and outside, the siege will be solved. Even if he doesn't come, if we keep watch for a few days, there will always be some changes, and I still have some friends in Bozhou, and they have no reason to sit idly by, but it will take longer. ”

Huangfu was overjoyed when he heard this: "It turns out that General Li has already made arrangements, and according to my brother's understanding of General An Xianqi, he will never stand idly by and watch this matter."

He led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the south bank of the Anyang River, intending to rely on the Anyang River to prevent the Khitan army from continuing southward. If we are saved, it can seriously damage the morale of the Khitan army. On the contrary, if he does not save him in the face of death, the morale of his army will also be greatly damaged. In the future, in the army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to mix.

General Li strategized, and he was really a generation of Confucian generals, no wonder he was able to win two miraculous victories in Xinzhou and Bozhou one after another, and became famous all over the world!"

Li Fengyun laughed, he was very happy to hear this passage when Huangfu heard this, and he was extremely proud.

Asked why Huangfu Yu appeared here, Huang Fuyu sighed and said: "It's also strange that the old brother is blind and arrogant, when he was in Beijin, Yunzhou, he annihilated all the Khitan soldiers and horses crossing the river with only two thousand fine horsemen, and the Khitan people had almost no power to fight back, and the old brother thought that the so-called Khitan iron cavalry was nothing more than that."

And now that the elder brother is supported by the saint and has five thousand elite horses in his hands, he thinks that he is invincible in the world.

Therefore, when I heard that Yelu Deguang led the army south again, my brother and I were eager to make meritorious contributions, and my heart was hot, and I did not listen to the advice of my subordinates, and planned to ambush Yelu Deguang in the Zhanghe River. If you get it right, maybe you can reproduce the victory of Yunzhou Beijin.

Who would have expected ...... Alas, with only 10,000 cavalry of Yelu Tiande, he lost his armor and lost his troops, and even the love general Du Zhimin fell into the hands of the enemy, but fortunately, the brothers saved him with their lives.

Five thousand elite horsemen, so far, there are less than three thousand brothers left, what a shame!"

Li Fengyun was angry and funny, how could the Khitan Iron Cavalry take a peek at it? How could the tiny Zhanghe River be compared with the natural dangers of the Yellow River? It seems that this Huangfu will be a tiger general, but he is not a wise general, let alone a handsome talent.

Note 1: Huangfu Yu, (?-947), a native of Changshan (now Zhengding, Hebei), was a famous general in the later Jin Dynasty. The battle of Yunzhou Beijin mentioned above was fought by him, and he was awarded the Huazhou Festival Envoy for his merits. That's why Li Fengyun said this here.

Huangfu was rude when he met this person, so his Mu Xi was worried that he would be implicated in the future, so they left him one after another.

It is recorded in the history books that the battle between Huangfu and the Khitans was that Huangfu Yu led thousands of horsemen to reconnoitre, and suddenly encountered tens of thousands of Khitan troops in Ye County (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei).

This battle was very important in the process of Yelu Deguang's second attack on Jin, and it was because of this battle that the Khitan and Jin kingdoms changed their offensive and defensive positions.
