Faced with Yelu Wuzhi's great trust, Handrang looked solemn. He first bowed to Yelu Wuzhi, then bowed deeply to Yelu Wuzhi and said, "I am determined to live up to my high expectations."
Yelu Wuzhi looked a little complicated and said, "You should not have personally participated in this surprise attack. It's just that the Jurchens only trust you. If you don't take action, they may not dare to risk a fight, or it may be counterproductive."
Han Dejang did not say any heroic words, but said calmly: "It is your wish to risk your country. Not to mention that by doing this, you may become famous in the next life, so I have no regrets."
He said goodbye to Yelv Bishe and said, "Your Majesty, please wait for the good news from me."
Yelv Bishe looked at the high-spirited Han Derang, and suddenly sighed in his heart, how could our Khitan talents be lost to those of the Southern Dynasty? This time, we must let the Southern Dynasty know the price of underestimating our Khitan.
"Han Qing is here, I wish you success immediately."
Handerang bid farewell to Yelu Bishe and Yelu House again, turned around and left in a stride.
Yelu Bishua watched Handerang leave the hall, slowly withdrew his gaze and said, "We are about to fight the southern bandits... I am not afraid of Yu Yue's jokes. I am inexplicably flustered now."
Yelu Wuzhi smiled brightly and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. Considering the size of the enemy's and our armies, the victory or defeat will not affect the overall situation. Even if there are occasional losses in the battle this time, it will not affect the final result. That year in Guandu
In the battle, Yuan Shao was so powerful that even those who were as powerful as Cao Mengde lost their confidence and were unwilling to fight with him. It was Xun Yu who persuaded Cao Cao, and only then did Xu You launch a surprise attack on Wuchao in Nantou."
He paused and said, "Besides, we have received the news about Lin Renzhao. The Southern Dynasty must not know the situation yet. No matter how powerful their martial arts department is, they cannot easily tell the situation in Haidong through the thousands of miles of our Khitan."
The territory was faster than ours and was delivered to the hands of the Southern Dynasty immediately. In this round, we have the upper hand."
Hearing this, Yelu Bishe felt relieved and responded: "What Yu Yue said is that the initiative on the battlefield is in our hands! Next, let's look at Yu Yue's arrangements. When it comes to military strategy, I am not as good as Yu Yue.
..."
Yelu Wuzhi humbly returned the greeting and said: "With the character of the leader of the Southern Dynasty bandits, if we advance, they will definitely follow us. He has a strong army and a brave general, and is not afraid of us fighting in the field. Therefore, he must first seize the strategic location of Sancha Water...
…”
The so-called Sancha River is the place where Liuhe, Chehe and Luanhe rivers meet.
There is a vast impact plain there, with river beaches and grasslands, which is suitable for large army operations and is a natural battlefield.
Whoever seizes Sancha Water to camp first will be able to seize favorable terrain and occupy an active situation in which he can advance, attack, and retreat and defend.
"Our soldiers in Dading Prefecture should not move first. Let Yelu Dumin of Songting Pass send troops to seize Sancha Water first. Compared with where the Southern Dynasty army is, Songting Pass is closer to Sancha Water, so we marched first.
Even if the Southern Dynasties are aware of it at this time, they can only accept their fate and let us take the initiative. "
Yelvbi shot the case and stood up, laughing and saying: "Take the initiative when advancing, and be protected by Songting Pass when retreating. I also have a strange move planned in the fifth year of Yue Dynasty. I feel at ease. Our Khitan will win this battle."
The mobilization of the Khitan army was quickly passed on to Luo Youdu by Wude Si's spies.
"Can't you stand this?"
Luo Youdu said in surprise, a little surprised.
According to his understanding of Yelu Bishe, although this man was not good at military strategy, he was still very good at employing people in the city and his political skills.
There is no reason to rush into battle just because you received a bellyband from a woman.
The main purpose of his move was to demoralize the Khitan soldiers.
Lu Duosun asked, "Is it possible that there is progress on the Haidong Peninsula?"
The greatest possibility that can prompt the Khitan to actively fight is that the Haidong Peninsula and the Pan-American Army can achieve substantial progress.
If Pan Mei's troops attack Yingzhou, they will definitely receive the news immediately and will not fall behind the Khitan.
Only for the changes in the Haidong Peninsula, the Khitan's news channels were faster than theirs.
Lu Duosun's guess was reasonable.
Luo Youdu agreed with Lu Duoxun's guess and said, "That's probably the case!"
he
Then he said: "Never mind, he dares to fight. This is a good thing. I have never been afraid of fighting with thieves. I am just afraid that they will hide in the pass and not come out, and they will force us to attack the pass."
It is not that he is not good at siege, on the contrary, he pays more attention to siege warfare.
It's just that siege warfare consumes too many soldiers. Unless necessary, I don't want to waste my soldiers on siege.
Lu Duoxun suddenly became alert and said, "No news came from Dading Mansion. The first to move were the guards at Songting Pass. They wanted to occupy Sancha Water before us..."
Luo Youdu didn't seem anxious to you, he nodded and said, "Nine times out of ten, this is the idea!"
As he spoke, he strode out of the imperial tent and said in a loud voice, "Ming Bai obviously obeyed the order. Then he ordered the party to advance. Zhang Qiong led the cavalry to Sancha Water to seize Sancha Waterway."
After a pause, he gave another order: "Instruct Cao Bin to garrison Niushan, Han Lingkun, and Shi Shouxin to garrison Jiugongling, and the rest of the soldiers will garrison with me!"
After arranging all this, Luo Youdu returned to the imperial tent.
Lu Duoxun said with a somewhat flattering smile, "The Khitans think they can get the upper hand, but they don't think about their little tricks. They are no match for His Majesty."
Luo Youdu glanced at him and said, "Have you noticed?"
Lu Duoxun said flatteringly, "Is there any reason that your Majesty can't think of that your subordinates have thought of?"
In fact, he saw that Luo Youdu was not in a hurry and guessed it based on his understanding of his lord.
Luo Youdu crossed his arms and said, "They have been hiding for half a month. Do you really think that I did nothing and just waited for him quietly for half a month?"
*******
The rapid sound of horse's hooves "clack, clack, clack".
"Hurry, faster!"
Yelu Dumin took the lead and galloped at the front.
There is no doubt about the importance of Sancha Water. Yelu Dumin's status in Khitan is not low. In Dading Prefecture, he is second only to Yelusha. As the governor of Tulu Bubu, his soldiers are one of the eight oldest tribes in Khitan.
Selected elites. However, even Yelu Sha, the Prime Minister of Nanfu, didn't know about Yelu Wuzhi's five-year plan, let alone Yelu Dumin?
In Yelu Dumin's mind, the Khitan did not have any so-called trump card.
This battle with the Central Plains of the Southern Dynasties was their battle to protect the country.
The battle to protect the country can only be won, not defeated.
Everyone knows how powerful the Central Plains is.
Faced with such a situation, only by seizing any advantage can we achieve final victory.
Occupying Sancha Water and gaining the initiative on the battlefield was more important than anything else in Yelu Dumin's eyes.
Although the Songting Pass where he was located was closer to the Sancha River, he still did not dare to be careless. He kept urging his soldiers to move quickly, reach the front line as quickly as possible, and gain a foothold first.
After half a day of urgent travel, Yeludumin successfully arrived at Sanchashui.
Wherever he looked, he didn't see a single soldier from the Southern Dynasty, so he couldn't help but laugh: "It's not in vain that we are rushing to risk our lives. Hurry, cross the river immediately!"
As long as they cross the Luan River, they will win three points without fighting.
There was originally a pontoon bridge on the Luanhe River, but in order to deal with Yang Ye, they destroyed it long ago.
However, although the Luanhe River is wide, the water is relatively shallow, no more than half a person deep. The meanders are well developed and can be crossed by people and horses, so there is no need to build a new pontoon bridge.
Yelu Dumin was prudent and prudent by nature. While arranging his troops to make a shallow crossing, he also sent soldiers to collect stones along the coast and build a simple defense line to prepare for the upcoming battle for the river beach.
The Sancha River is extremely strategic, and Yelu Dumin believed that the Southern Dynasties would not give up such a strategic location.
It won't be long before there is bound to be a fierce battle.
They must be prepared and use all their spare time to recover.
All actions are in order.
Yelu Dumin saw that the last group had crossed the river, and defensive stone towers had been built on the river bank. He was calm and thought: "Even if the Southern Dynasty is coming now, there is no need to be afraid."
"Hey! What is that?"
Yelu Dumin heard a soldier's surprised cry and went out looking for help.
At this glance, one was immediately stunned: hundreds of black shadows, large and small, appeared on the wide river upstream, and they were moving towards them at an extremely fast speed.
The hot summer sun was a bit dazzling. Yelu Dumin put his hand on his forehead and squinted his eyes, trying to see clearly.
As the black shadow approached, Yelu Dumin discovered that the entire waterway was actually covered with hundreds of densely packed rafts. There were many figures on them, all of them were obviously soldiers of the Southern Dynasty.
He could hardly believe his eyes. There were many grasslands and deserts in Monan, with few trees and no woods.
Only near the Yanshan Mountains and the Mameng Mountains are there stretches of mountains...
Yeludumin has been fighting in the grassland for half his life, and this is the first time he has seen such a battle. But after all, he has been in battle for a long time. At this time, he is facing a crisis, and many possibilities appear in his mind in an instant.
He thought about using bows and arrows to suppress the soldiers flowing down the river on the river beach. This idea only existed in his mind for a moment before he dismissed it.
The powerful bows and crossbows of the Southern Dynasties were far superior to theirs. Perhaps they had a certain technical lead in riding bows, but they were completely incomparable with the walking bows and crossbows.
The Southern Dynasty army was indeed at a disadvantage on the raft, but their crossbows were able to make up for this disadvantage.
Yelu Dumin shouted loudly, "Stay away from the river beach!"
In an instant, Yelu Dumin made a decision.
Three thousand Khitan knights heard the wind and retreated more than 300 steps.
As the soldiers on the raft came closer, Yeludumin let out a long breath, secretly glad that he had made the right decision.
The soldiers on the raft all held crossbows in their hands, waiting to trigger the amplifier at them.
Bai Mingming saw that the Khitan Jingqi had escaped from his shooting range, and secretly cursed: "The thieves are cunning!"
He is a native of Lujiang, Huainan, and a Wu Jinshi of the Dayu court. He was incorporated into the Lingbo Army of the Royal Camp Division and was the only naval force of the Royal Camp Division. With the blessing of Wu Jinshi, he became the military envoy of the Lingbo Army. This battle was also the Lingbo Army
In the first show, I naturally wanted to have a hearty victory.
The other party actually refused to cooperate.
Bai Mingming studied literature in his early years, but due to his low status as a scholar, he gave up writing and practiced martial arts. With the prudent attitude of a scholar, he immediately said: "Ying A, Ying Y, Ying Wu, Ying Ji, with arrows crisscrossing the front and back to await the enemy. C
Ziying, Dingziying, cross the river and land! "
He calmly directed the soldiers to land.
Yelu Dumin originally intended to attack him halfway across the river, but when he saw the opponent's front and rear crossbow nets displayed on and off the Luan River, he felt his heart freeze and could only watch the opponent land ashore.
Under the command of Bai Mingming, the C-shaped battalion and the D-shaped battalion that landed on the beach pulled their raft ashore, and after some modifications, it turned into a wooden fence.
Yeludumin's liver ached at the sight, but he still endured the discomfort and let the soldiers rest in turns, waiting for the opportunity to attack.
Yiziying and Wuziying also landed...
Just when the last A-zi camp and Ji-zi camp were about to land, Yelu Dumin yelled with anger in his eyes, "Khitan warriors, go around the fence and crush them into meat pies."
Yeludumin already understood the current situation and he had no choice.
His opponent was not only the thousands of Southern Dynasty soldiers in front of him, but also the cavalry troops that had not yet arrived.
Keep spending it, and once the cavalry arrives, you'll be fine.
Only by destroying the enemy before the opponent's cavalry arrives can we have a chance of winning.
However, Yelu Dumin knew that in order to seize time, he rushed hundreds of miles all the way and forcibly crossed the Luan River, which greatly affected the physical strength of the soldiers. On the contrary, the other party came by boat along the river, and except for the helmsman, the physical strength of the soldiers was not exhausted.
If you attack the enemy when they are halfway across the river, even if you take the casualties and wipe out the landing Southern troops, there will still be half the crossbowmen on the river, and you will still be unable to break through the Luan River. When all the opponents have crossed the river, you may not be able to completely annihilate them.
Now that the opponent has two battalions left to cross, it is the best time.
With the sound of horse hooves, the Khitan cavalry rushed towards Yu Lingbo's army by the river bank.
Bai had obviously been watching the enemy general's movements, and when he saw the enemy approaching, he turned to his Dantian and shouted with anger, "Fire the arrow!"
"
The crossbow arrows of the Fuyuan Crossbow flew through the air, and the sharp arrows shot towards the Khitan Jingqi like a blanket of locusts.
The hundreds of Khitan knights who rushed at the front were instantly knocked off their backs, or were hit by several arrows, or their horses were injured. Some of them even fell off their horses without saying a word.
Yelu Dumin had been mentally prepared for a long time, and without blinking an eye, the only way to face the powerful crossbows of the Southern Dynasties was to take advantage of the opponent's slow loading and closing speed to get close quickly.
The opponents are all infantry, so as long as you get close, you will have an absolute advantage.
But the next scene left Yeludumin completely dumbfounded.
Apparently after Bai shot an arrow, he did not ask the soldiers to reload the arrows, nor did he set up a firing array to forcefully resist the cavalry attack, but ordered all the soldiers to flee.
"Quickly, retreat to Luanshui!"
Bai obviously held the sword high and did not rush towards the enemy, but directed the soldiers to go down the river.
Plop!
Plop!
Plop!
More than a thousand Lingbo soldiers jumped into Luanshui like frightened ducks.
A sharp look flashed in Yelu Dumin's eyes, "Escape? Can you escape?"
Yelu Dumin rushed into the river first, piercing the chest of a Lingbo soldier with a spear, and blood flowed downwards along the river.
He was about to charge forward when he unexpectedly realized that he had lost the unique impact of the cavalry.
At this moment, Bai Mingming, who had escaped into the water, had already changed his direction, shouting and riding towards the Khitan Jing who had restricted his mobility due to the current. This chapter has been completed!
