Under the personal leadership of Haotian, the army of more than 400,000 people from seven legions in Hetao slowly surrounded Zhizhou City. Hetao was not in a hurry to attack the city. Instead, just like Tongzhou City, they worked step by step to completely cut off Tongzhou and the city.
Connections to surrounding areas.
When Yelu Chixian saw this situation, his face turned even paler. Tongzhou fell into the siege tactics of Hetao that day, and tens of thousands of troops died for the country. Yelu Wanxi turned even paler. In his opinion, Zhizhou
It was obvious that he would follow in Tongzhou's footsteps. Leng Fangbu and Yelu Zhiqiu looked normal. For Yelu Zhiqiu, he had died once anyway, and dying on the battlefield was nothing special. At most, he died.
Later, he went to Yelu Wanhong and Yelu Duyun for a drink. As for Leng Fangbu, he didn't think too much about it at all. He believed that no matter how bad the situation was, he could escape smoothly. Speaking of which, they were all as good as Zhu Zhao.
Gecko, at least the Hetao army has never caught them.
Compared with Mandan, which had weak troops and low morale, Baijing and Haixi were much more energetic. Faced with such a situation, Jin Xiangliang, Heji Muer and Huan Fuchuan all agreed that they should take advantage of the Loop
The encirclement has not yet been completed, so we should catch him by surprise. Yao Jinxi naturally insisted on Cassimbas's intention, which is to stick to Zhizhou and never take the initiative to go out of the city to provoke. Only Jin Zongbiao remained silent. He did not agree to go out of the city, but in view of the current situation
, and he was unwilling to stick to Zhizhou. In his opinion, Zhizhou was still a little too far from Juyongguan. It would be best if he could take the opportunity to break through and go to Yanzhou or Juyongguan.
Jin Zongbiao is not a good man and a believer, and this is not the East China Sea Road. Anyway, he cannot take into account the safety of the people on the East China Sea Road and Haixi, so why should he stick to it?
In the end, the opinions of Jin Xiangliang and others prevailed. Jin Xiangliang was proud of the spring breeze. In his opinion, although the Hetao soldiers were elite, they still had a certain distance compared with him. As for Huan Fuchuan and Heji Mu'er,
They are eager to prove themselves.
Naturally, Yao Jinxi strongly opposed the decision of the three people. With Cassimbas's warning, he naturally understood the consequences of the army leaving the city. Maybe hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Hetao surrounded Zhizhou, and there were indeed loopholes in it. If it were unexpected,
One blow can indeed cause some confusion in the Hetao. However, Yao Jinxi, who has had many battles with the generals in the Hetao, deeply understands the power of his opponent. Therefore, Jin Xiangliang's boast about the Hetao is nothing more than such a declaration.
He was simply dismissive. If the Loop was really that bad, then why did the opponent attack China so hard that he lost all his armor?
However, due to Mandan's neutrality and Jin Zongbiao's indifference, the proposal was finally adopted. After hearing this, Yao Jinxi also knew that the situation was irreversible. In the end, he just smiled helplessly and stopped talking. As an ally, he theoretically
They said they should remind Jin Xiangliang and others. However, when they thought of Cassimbas's prestige, they still couldn't suppress their thoughts. In their eyes, he was just a defeated general. What qualifications did he have to stop Jin Xiangliang's constant victory?
General? Besides, if they really failed, then he, who had shaken the morale of the army before the war, would most likely be taken to task. After weighing the pros and cons, Haruka Jinxi chose to keep his mouth shut.
Jin Xiangliang was obviously very confident in himself. In order to deal the biggest blow to the Hetao, he not only mobilized all 80,000 cavalry in the city, but also drew out the most complete 100,000 infantry in the city to prepare for the cavalry chaos.
After understanding the formation on the Hetao side, the infantry took the opportunity to follow up and completely crippled the Hetao army. As for the remaining nearly 100,000 soldiers, their task was to defend. If the attack was unfavorable, they could respond appropriately.
Although Yelu Chixian was defeated and left Tongzhou, even Huan Fuchuan could not compare with him in terms of battlefield experience and qualifications. Moreover, Yelu Chixian was a steady and cautious person, so although everyone did not have much confidence in him, they still chose him in the end.
Let him stay behind. As for Yao Jinxi, everyone originally looked down on this former famous general who had suddenly lost his courage. They only planned to let him and Yelu Chixian be responsible for staying behind. But after everyone decided, Yao Jinxi actually took the initiative to ask for help.
He hopes to lead 100,000 infantry to follow up behind the cavalry. After all, he is the most famous general in the Baijing Dynasty. Under such circumstances, no one can refuse his request. At least he personally leads the troops, which is better than Yelu.
Are Wan Xi or Tungulas and others much stronger?
"The army attacked and only left us Mandan to defend the city. Then the news spread, and they thought that our Mandan soldiers were greedy for life and afraid of death. I am not a talented general. I hope to go to the battlefield with you generals!" Before leaving, Yelu
Zhiqiu suddenly opened his mouth and said.
When Yelv Chixian heard this, he also felt that it made sense. However, as to the outcome of this battle, the Mandan side did not even have a capable general to participate. If word spread, it would indeed become an irreversible shame for the Mandan. After pondering for a moment,
Yelu Chixian simply asked Yelu Chengfeng to go out with Yao Jinxi together with Yelu Zhiqiu.
On September 19th, at the third watch of the month, the wind blows to Zhizhou.
The 80,000 cavalry have already been gathered. The leader is naturally Jin Xiangliang, the famous Haixi general who has been in the limelight recently. Heji Mu'er and Huan Fuchuan each lead a cavalry. The remaining cavalry generals have the luck to survive the bloody strangulation.
Gulas, Hekimur's old subordinate Daduo, Nolan Tu, Yukelonsi. Haixi general Jin Tunke, Jin begged to buy.
The follow-up infantry commander was naturally Yao Jinxi, and other generals included Mandan's Yelu Zhiqiu, Yelu Chengfeng, Haixi Jin Qiliang and Jin Zongbiao's uncle and nephew.
As for Yelu Chixian, Leng Fangbu and Yelu Wanxi, they stayed behind in Zhizhou as the last reserve team.
"General, what are you doing?" Before leaving, Jin Xiangliang asked curiously when he saw Yao Jinxi ordering the 30,000 soldiers under his command to bring a day's worth of dry food.
Haruka Jinxi said nonchalantly: "I estimate that tonight's battle will last for a long time, and I am worried that the soldiers will be exhausted by then, so I specially asked them to bring more dry food for emergencies."
Jin Xiangliang smiled coldly: "General, are you doubting my ability? Although the layout of the Hetao camp seems to be perfect, they did not expect that we would launch a surprise attack tonight. Therefore, we will definitely win a complete victory.
!”
Indeed, Cassimbas has left. According to common sense, the Northeastern Allied Forces in the city should not be able to get out. Moreover, the moon is bright and the stars are thin tonight, which is not the time to attack the camp at all. The Hetao army should not have expected that the defenders in the city would actually
will launch an unprecedented counterattack on such a scale.
However, Yao Jinxi doesn’t think so. He himself has been a famous general who has followed Cassimbas on the battlefield for decades. From beyond the Great Wall to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun and then to the south of the river, let’s not talk about Qingfeng’s old and strong Tie Zhen.
, Hua He and others, who were the commanders of the Xuanwu Legion at that time, were not fuel-efficient lamps, but over the years, Yao Jinxi has always been fearless. But facing the Hetao army led by Haotian, he has never taken advantage.
.
To be honest, he really doesn't know why Jin Xiangliang is so confident. Others don't know the details of Luo Xiang. Doesn't he still know it? Back then, Luo Xiang could be killed by hundreds of cavalry, and he abandoned his armor. Now the opponent still occupies an absolute position.
Why is he so arrogant when he has the advantage of military strength?
In the main camp of Hetao, Luo Xiang suddenly said with a smile: "Master, the fish is hooked! The whole army should be dispatched!"
When Haotian heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "They finally took the bait, so it's not in vain that we have waited so many days!"
Chen Han said doubtfully: "Sir, how do you know that the defenders in the city have taken the bait? Besides, how do you know that the other party has mobilized its entire army!"
Luo Xiang smiled proudly: "A top warrior has an instinctive feeling for danger and murderous intent! The enemy forces in the city were quite low at first, but suddenly became extremely powerful, and Cassimbas did not die inside.
, naturally it cannot be a mourning soldier, so the most likely thing is that the opponent cannot bear the temptation and is preparing to attack us with the entire army!"
Haotian smiled and said: "I didn't expect that martial arts can be used in this way."
Dugu said with a smile: "Lord, this is why you are so rare. So, you need to be educated to do anything. Sir, don't say it is so mysterious. In fact, as long as the martial arts reaches a certain level, you will be able to deal with dangerous situations.
There is often an almost subconscious intuition. Of course, it is not possible for ordinary people to sense the changes in the momentum of hundreds of thousands of troops in the city like Mr.
Haotian glared at Dugu fiercely, but Dugu didn't care and just said lazily: "Master, the guests have already arrived, are you not ready to serve?"
Haotian really had no choice but to let Dugu, Xuesha and the others laugh obscenely. He coughed heavily, glared at Dugu and the others and said: "The war is about to begin, you guys are like this
What kind of appearance do you have? Anyone who dares to smile playfully will no longer be able to participate in tonight's war!"
Dugu finally looked serious. Although his expression was still a bit obscene, at least he was sitting upright like Xue Sha and Feng Jing. As for Jiang Chenzhou and others, they did not dare to show off their dignity, although Haotian would not treat them.
You can get angry at will, but if you really make Haotian angry and ask them to guard the camp and not participate in the battle, you can really do it.
Seeing that the people in front of him had finally regained some military aura, Haotian then said to Xuanji: "Military advisor, you made the battle plan, and you will be in charge of tonight's battle! In this battle, Zhizhou City must be uprooted.
Get up. After tonight, our army must march into Juyongguan without any hindrance!"
Xuanji said solemnly: "Lord, please rest assured, even if I risk my life, I will kill all the 300,000 Northeastern Allied Forces in the city without leaving any trace behind!"
Turning around, Xuanji's face was filled with murderous intent. His eyes slowly swept across the faces of Xue Sha and the others, and he suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "All soldiers, please obey your orders!"
"Here!" Xue Sha and others shouted loudly.
"According to the original plan, the big fish has not taken the bait. No one is allowed to set up the net without authorization, otherwise military law will be imposed!" Xuanji said word by word.
Although he is led by a scholar, Xuanji is different from a stern scholar like Chen Han. After being immersed in the army for several years, this young man with profound military talents has completely established his prestige in the army, and
When he issued military orders, his tone was full of chilling air.
"In this battle, we can only win, not lose! Let's become a dragon and become a worm in one fell swoop!" Xuanji suddenly said loudly after announcing the battle plan.
Everyone looked at Xuanji with some confusion. Only Luo Xiang had a smile on his lips. Xuanji was worthy of being an outstanding counselor. His vision had completely transcended the entire battlefield. The people who came out of Tianji Valley were indeed not ordinary people.
ah!
Even Yao Jinxi himself did not expect that the defeat would come so quickly! Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time and knew that the Hetao army must have been prepared for it, he still did not expect that the offensive of the Hetao army would be like this.
violent.
As soon as Jin Xiangliang's 80,000 cavalry left the city, they were detected by the Hetao authorities. Jin Xiangliang, Hekimu'er and others were also considered to be experienced in the battlefield. The attack point they chose was near the west gate defended by the Legion of Honor in the Hetao.
It seems that although the Legion of Honor is the oldest legion in Hetao, the Legion's Yang Jiang Shenzhou cannot compare with Xue Sha and others in terms of military talent and qualifications. Therefore, a sudden surprise attack will inevitably lead to chaos.
The situation was slightly different from what Jin Xiangliang and others expected. Although the Legion of Honor was attacked, it did not panic. Instead, it immediately retracted its defense line and resisted with all its strength. After all, the Legion of Honor was the elite of Hetao. Although it was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, under Jiang Chenzhou's personal control
Under the control, although they retreated step by step, the defense line never collapsed.
Jin Xiangliang and others were anxious. If they could not quickly defeat the defense line of the Legion of Honor, the Hetao army that had come back to their senses would surely surround them tightly. Thinking of this, several people did not dare to stay any longer, and ordered the distant troops behind them.
Pug's infantry quickly followed up, charging forward desperately.
The Legion of Honor finally couldn't bear the double blow from the Northeastern coalition. Although Jiang Chenzhou was still yelling at the top of his lungs, the soldiers below ignored his orders at all. The Northeastern cavalry dispersed before they arrived.
Jin Xiangliang and others were overjoyed and led their troops to follow without hesitation, preparing to defeat the Hetao soldiers in one fell swoop. However, before they could be proud, a rapid sound of golden drums came from the Hetao army, and the Legion of Honor was escaping.
He suddenly turned around and relied on the car formation that had been prepared behind him to stubbornly block the attack of Jin Xiangliang and others.
After all, Hekimu'er and others are not fools. When they saw this situation, they knew they had fallen into Hetao's trick. They were hesitating on what to do next. More than 100,000 cavalrymen from the two cavalry regiments of Hetao Falcon and Qinglong had already come to cover them from both sides.
