Chapter 475 The Destruction of the Northern Liao Dynasty
Wanyan Zongqian's 30,000 gold army was actually very close to Lingqiu.
It's dozens of miles away. Considering the Jin people's marching speed, this distance can only take half an hour at most.
But Wanyan Zongqian, who was cunning by nature, hesitated to move forward.
He sends a wave of exploration horses in the direction of Lingqiu every half an hour to control the movements of Lingqiu at any time.
Therefore, when the scouts from Northern Liao came galloping to report that the Emperor of Yan, Wang Lin, had appeared in Lingqiu, Yeluding thought that the Liao and Jin coalition forces should seize the opportunity to capture Lingqiu and capture the Emperor of Yan alive. Wanyan Zongqian had already obtained the same information.
military report.
But compared to Yeluding's ecstasy, Wanyan Zongqian was shocked and immediately issued an order to withdraw his troops and rush to Xijing.
The 30,000 Jin cavalry turned their horses upside down and began to retreat rapidly towards Xijing.
Wanyan Zongqian finally realized the many flaws in the problem.
Of course, he still hadn't expected Wang Lin's true strategic intention.
Instead, they thought that if Wang Lin really marched to Lingqiu in person, it meant that the Yan army was about to invade Xijing and take Datong.
Of course, this could also be a trap set by the Yan army to lure the Jin army into taking the bait, and he would not be able to fall for it.
In any case, Wanyan Zongqian felt that something was wrong. He made an immediate decision based on instinct and retreated to Xijing.
After all, as long as Datong in Xijing can be defended, the entire Yanbei region will still be under the control of the Jin Kingdom. If Datong is lost, Yanbei will gradually be cannibalized by the Yan army.
This was Wanyan Zongqian's first reaction when he heard that Wang Lin had appeared in Lingqiu.
He never imagined that Wang Lin would use 250,000 troops for this plan.
Almost half of Dayan's army and horses.
The 250,000 Yan troops are in Yanbei. Even if they fight to death, they will still kill tens of thousands of people like Wanyan Zonggan.
A tiger fights a rabbit with all its strength.
The darkness before dawn was extremely deep, and the night was as black as ink.
In the direction of the Jin army's retreat, several rockets were launched into the sky, blooming gorgeous flowers in the night. The main force of the Yan army lurking in Laiyuan, Yue Fei's 100,000-strong army, was ready to fight at any time. After all, it was far from scheduled.
The total attack time is less than half an hour.
But the Jin people retreated quickly, apparently trying to break out of the Yan army's encirclement.
Yue Fei made a decisive decision and immediately issued an order for an all-out attack by the entire army.
He ordered people to report to Guan Shengjun urgently, asking Guan Shengjun to capture Yuzhou before the next morning and cut off Wanyan Zongqian's eastward escape route.
Wang Gui ordered Niugao and Wang Gui to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack Lingqiu to protect the emperor. He himself led an army of 90,000 to circle Lingqiu and quickly pursued the Wanyan Zong cadres.
Lingqiu.
The fierce military drum suddenly sounded, breaking the pre-dawn calm.
Ten thousand Northern Liao troops divided into three groups and started the siege.
On the tower of Lingqiu City, Yan Qing, who also saw the Jin army's retreat signal, couldn't help but laugh loudly, the matter was settled!
Without the support of the Jin army, the more than 10,000 remnants of the Northern Liao army outside the city would not be in his eyes at all.
Yan Qing, wearing armor and holding a crossbow, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to lead 4,000 gilded guards out of the city to meet the enemy, and leave 1,000 gilded guards to protect your majesty. Please give me your permission!"
Wang Lin stared at the disorderly Northern Liao army and horses outside the city, and chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "Xiao Yi, don't wait for Yue Fei's reinforcements? I estimate that Yue Fei's reinforcements will arrive in half an hour at most.
"
Yan Qing said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the remaining troops of the Liao people can be defeated by the four thousand guards in imperial robes. Why wait for the reinforcements from Commander Yue?"
Wang Lin laughed loudly: "Forget it, let's get the military drums. I will personally beat the drums for Xiao Yi and my imperial guards! Let the Khitan people see what powerful soldiers my emperor's personal army is!"
Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan looked complicated.
Although it was four thousand against ten thousand, Xiao Duolilai was well aware of the powerful combat power of the Jinyiwei. This was a well-equipped elite Yan army built by Wang Lin himself. It had been tested for a long time and it also carried firearms with him. With the momentum of its military formation,
, the Liao army was simply unable to resist.
Besides, how can these remnants of the Khitan, who have hastily formed an army and have never experienced any battles, be a match for the tiger and wolf soldiers like the Jin Yiwei?
Emperor Yan's dragon-like scroll fluttered in the morning breeze, and Wang Lin beat the military drum himself. When the fierce military drums resounded loudly throughout the city of Lingqiu, the city gate of Lingqiu opened.
The four thousand cavalrymen raised their heads and erupted into earth-shaking shouts of "Great Yan is victorious, long live our emperor". With a finger of the sword in Yan Qing's hand, a torrent of steel-like and indestructible purple clothes rushed out.
Whistling by.
The Jin Yiwei standing on the tower saw with his own eyes that his comrades swept past them with murderous intent in a sharp knife-shaped formation, and the Liao army was almost defeated at the first touch.
With just one charge, Yan Qing led the Jinyi cavalry to cut a large gap in the chaotic Liao army camp. The Jinyiwei's specially made Xiuchun knife was swung like a forest, and countless heads were swept away in the flash of the knife. Soon, they will be killed.
A man was killed outside the city and his blood flowed like a river.
The Liao army was defeated like a mountain.
Those Liao troops who were carrying equipment and preparing to attack the city were shaken by the chaos in their formation and the endless screams before they came near. They dropped their equipment one after another, turned around and fled.
The Liao people were like wolves and swine, and they fled in all directions.
The formations of the Jinyi Guards advanced layer by layer, like ruthlessly killing life harvesters.
Xiao Duolilai looked unbearable and lowered her head deeply. The scene was tragic, the Liao people were being slaughtered unilaterally, and she did not dare to look at it anymore.
But she knew that a battle between two armies was no child's play. Wang Lin could tolerate the existence of the Khitan ethnic group, but it was absolutely impossible to tolerate the existence of a Liao army that resisted Dayan.
She knew that Yelu Ding would definitely die this time.
Xiao Wan and his subordinates, who had been disarmed by the Jin Yiwei, looked dull. They looked at the vulnerable Liao army outside the city. The screams of Liao people for mercy kept coming to their ears, and the corners of Xiao Wan's mouth twitched fiercely.
He once thought that the Yan army was powerful, but he did not expect that compared with the Yan army, his own troops would be so defeated?
Collapse on impact?
How can we fight and restore the country?... Xiao Wan closed his eyes in pain.
Outside the city, Liao army commander Yelu Ding looked gloomy.
His mood fell from great joy to great sadness, and he was ready to escape.
Guo Yaoshi took the backbone of his two thousand resentful troops to the other side of the battlefield at some point. This man had a gloomy mind. Seeing that the Liao people were defeated, he was unwilling to die for the Liao people.
At dawn, more than half of the Liao army suffered casualties due to the charge of the Jinyiwei, and many of them had begun to kneel down and surrender.
Yelu Ding led two thousand troops to flee towards the Hunyuan Valley, and Yan Qing led his Jinyi guards to pursue him.
As for Pharmacist Guo, he quietly led his troops to flee towards Laiyuan, preparing to escape to the Kingdom of Jin via Yuzhou.
However, Pharmacist Guo's good luck finally came to an end.
He and his two thousand backbone of the resentful army met head-on with ten thousand Dayan cavalry commanded by Niu Gao Wanggui.
Pharmacist Guo and his troops were hunted by the Niugao tribe for several months.
…
At Lingqiu, the red sun burst out, dyeing the eastern sky red, and the scenery was spectacular.
The smoke on the Lingqiu battlefield gradually dissipated, and the faint smell of blood in the air was blown away by the wind. At this moment, Wang Lin was most concerned about the head-on battle between Yue Fei and Wanyan Zongqian.
If nothing else goes wrong, Guan Sheng has already captured Yuzhou and has begun to coordinate Yue Fei's troops in a roundabout way.
Han Shizhong and Wu Lin's 100,000 troops have begun to besiege Datong.
Besiege but not attack.
As long as Yue Fei and Guan Sheng join forces to capture Wanyan Zongqian, Xijing's 20,000 gold army will be the turtle in the urn.
One hundred and fifty thousand elite Yan troops attacked Wanyan Zongqian, and they wanted to kill Wanyan Zongqian even if it was a pile of heads. Wang Lin gave the order to kill Wanyan Zongqian.
As for the battle of Lingqiu, there is no doubt about the outcome.
Wang Lin believed that Yelvding's destruction was a foregone conclusion.
Tens of thousands of Liao people were willing to surrender to Dayan, so of course he was not stingy about giving them a way to survive. After all, God has the virtue of good life, and simple massacre has no meaning.
This is his principle as a time traveler, and it actually has no direct relationship with Xiao Duoli and Lai.
Seeing Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan kneeling down in front of him again, Wang Lin chuckled lightly, bent down to help the two women up and said, "Don't worry, as long as the Liao people are willing to resist and submit to Dayan,
I will settle in a state in Yanbei, and I will never break my promise..."
Wang Lin leaned into Xiao Duolilai's ear and smiled: "I said that I will make you a well-deserved Queen Mother Xiao, but you must hurry up and give me a son."
Wang Lin laughed heartily, Xiao Duolilai's face turned red with embarrassment, but his heart gradually calmed down.
Wang Lin looked at Xiao Wan with deep eyes. Xiao Wan was disheartened and slowly knelt down on the ground, crying out: "Xiao Wan, the minister of the country's subjugation, just wants to die quickly!"
Wang Lin said calmly: "If you die, can the Liao Kingdom be resurrected?"
"Xiao Wan, I can order you to temporarily act as the king of Northern Liao. The remaining Liao people can temporarily live in Yingzhou, Yanbei, to graze and multiply. However, the Liao people can no longer build armies and horses. This is my bottom line."
Xiao Wan sighed and looked up at Wang Lin and said: "Your Majesty, to this day, we, the Liao people, no longer have the power to restore our country. If your Majesty is willing to protect the Liao people, of course we will be grateful and willing to surrender to Dayan!"
"I just want to beg your majesty if you can let us Liao people be resettled in Dayan. Although Yanbei is good, the Jin people are eyeing it and can raise troops to attack at any time. We Liao people have no troops, how can we defend ourselves?"
Wang Lin suddenly laughed: "From now on, Yanbei will also be the land of Yan!
I will order the Yan army in Hedong to sit in Yanbei and remotely control Mobei to defend against the Jin people's attack.
Not only the Yan army, but also the Xixia soldiers and horses, tens of thousands of people will go north to help defend Yanbei. You don't have to worry, Yanbei will be in my big Yan's bag!"
The whole Yanbei! Xiao Wan suddenly gasped.
He never expected that Wang Lin was aiming to capture the entire Yanbei.
He was also a brave general of the time, and he immediately realized that the Yan army not only wanted to take Lingqiu, but also wanted to eliminate the hidden danger of Yelvding. They clearly wanted to directly attack Xijing Datong and completely destroy Wanyan Zongqian's main force.
As long as Datong takes it and Wanyan Zongqian is defeated, Yanbei will completely fall under the control of Dayan.
Xiao Wan lowered his head angrily.
The bitterness in my heart cannot be expressed in words.
In the eyes of Emperor Dayan, the so-called Northern Liao was just an addition.
Their goal from beginning to end is Jin Ren and Wanyan Zongqian.
Yeluding thought he had the ability to challenge Dayan, but in fact, in the eyes of others, he was just a clown.
