In fact, not long after the war started, Yue Fei had already led 10,000 cavalry towards Yanjing.
Originally, he thought that the Resentment Army was the elite of the Liao Kingdom and had some strength. It would not be easy for his Third Army to completely swallow up the Resentment Army, so he prepared to lead the cavalry to outflank and kill them from behind. But the war had just begun.
From the beginning, he knew that this was not the case. The so-called "elites of the Liao Kingdom" were really unimaginably weak.
Not to mention the entire Third Army, even any army under the Third Army may completely defeat the Resentful Army. Now that so many people from the Third Army are gathered here, it is impossible to completely annihilate the Resentful Army.
Question. So Yue Fei no longer paid attention to the battle situation at Baigouhe, but led his cavalry in the direction of Yanjing.
"General, why are we rushing to Yanjing City overnight?" Yue Fei's personal soldier, Xue Sandao, performed extremely well in the battle with the Western Army two years ago.
"Of course it's a siege!" Yue Fei said.
"Siege the city? But we only have ten thousand people?" Xue San was surprised.
"It's not like you haven't seen how weak the Liao people are! With only ten thousand people, I can conquer Yanjing City if I want!" Yue Fei laughed.
Of course, if it really relies on 10,000 people to attack the city, even if it can capture the city of Yanjing, I am afraid that Yue Fei's army will suffer extremely heavy damage. I am afraid that there will be less than half of the cavalry left! His siege is really,
But I won't attack by force.
Among Yue Fei's troops, the strongest is the cavalry he currently leads. Every soldier in the cavalry is carefully selected, and every soldier can reach the level of death squad soldiers in other armies. For this team
The cavalry is also trained much more rigorously than other troops. From the formation of the Third Army the year before last, to now, this army has hardly had a break. Even in the New Year, this army has to train for more than four hours every day.
.On weekdays, the amount of training for this army lasts six hours, or even seven hours.
According to Yue Fei's guess, there would be no problem with his cavalry, not only one against ten, but one against five! Even if he took this cavalry to the battlefield in Liaodong and faced off against the Jurchens, there would be no problem! Even when he
Under his super command, the same troops can definitely defeat the Jurchens.
This is a trump card in his hand. It was originally meant to deal with the resentful army, but now it seems that it is useless at all.
Their speed was much faster than that of the Resentment Army. It took the Resentment Army a day to get from Yanjing City to Baigou River, and it was not yet dawn when they set off from Baigou River and arrived near Yanjing City. A rough estimate is that the distance
There is still an hour before dawn.
"Let the soldiers take a rest first! Eat something and drink some water! Then... we will attack the city!" Yue Fei said excitedly as he looked into the distance.
Yanjing City, just by looking at its name, you can tell that it is the territory of the Han people. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this was the capital of the Yan State, so it was called "Yanjing". It was also called Youzhou, one of the nine ancient states. Losing Yanjing,
It can be said that Kyushu is no longer complete. It has been more than 200 years since the territory of the Han people fell into the hands of foreigners. Now when Yue Fei sees Yanjing City over there, he even feels his eyes are a little moist.
"Let's go, go to Yanjing City!" A quarter of an hour later, the soldiers and horses were dispatched again, roaring towards Yanjing City.
The sound of horse hooves shook the sky, and the whole city of Yanjing was alarmed.
****
In the city of Yanjing, Xiao Qian has been unable to calm down since Yaoshi Guo left. He also looked down on the Han people and thought they were incompetent. However, the performance of the Han people in Liaodong was really good, so he was a little worried.
I am very afraid that the Han people in Hedong are like the Han people in Liaodong. If so, the situation may be a little bad.
He couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. He didn't know how long it took, but he became more and more worried. He ordered people to call Li Chuwen and Xiao Yun, and also called a member of the Xiao family named Xiao Sixian. Xiao Sixian is the leader of today's Liaoning Province.
The younger brother of Xiao Fengxian, the Privy Councilor of the State
, he was also a general of the Liao Kingdom. When the Jurchens first raised their troops, Xiao Sixian once led an army to conquer the Jurchens, but he was defeated by Wanyan Agu. After returning, if Xiao Fengxian had not protected him, he might have been defeated by the Liao Kingdom.
The emperor beheaded him.
In addition, Xiao Sixian also has an identity, he is Xiao Feifei's father! Yelu Dashi asked him to send Xiao Feifei away in the first place!
Because he was once a general of the Liao Kingdom and knew how to use troops, Xiao Qian called him over.
When he saw Li Chuwen, Xiao Yun, and Xiao Sixian, Xiao Qian's face showed a smile. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, please come in quickly! I really shouldn't call you here late at night. I'll go first."
I apologize to you all."
Li Chuwen, Xiao Yun, and Xiao Sixian all looked sleepy at the moment. They entered Xiao Qian's house and came to a room to sit down. Soon a maid brought wine and barbecue, and there was a smell in the room.
The aroma of wine and meat makes everyone feel refreshed when they smell this aroma.
"Prince Xi, why don't you look at what time it is? It's midnight, I'm sleeping soundly, why did you call me here?" Xiao Si took a sip of hot wine first and felt the heat in his stomach before he spoke.
.
"Brother, has Miss Feifei written to you during this time?" Xiao Qian asked first.
The two of them have the same surname of Xiao, and they are both members of the Xiao clan. They have a certain blood relationship, so Xiao Qian calls Xiao Sixian his eldest brother.
"Why are you asking this? I haven't written a letter! To be honest, I am really worried about her. However, I heard that she is doing well in Goryeo and that the governor of Liangshan is quite fond of her, so I feel relieved." Xiao Si first felt a little relieved.
Said somewhat sadly.
"She didn't send back any important news?" Xiao Qian asked again.
"The Goryeo Palace is extremely tightly supervised. Except for her, the rest of us can't enter the Goryeo Palace at all. How can she spread the news?" Xiao Sixian snorted coldly and said.
Xiao Qian frowned, took a sip of wine, and stopped asking about Xiao Feifei.
"Alright, King Xi, why did you call us here? Explain it quickly! It's so late, you must have something important." At this moment, Li Chuwen finally said.
"Yes, I do have something important to do. After Medical Master Guo went out, I kept feeling frightened. I was worried that his resentful army would not be a match for Liangshan's troops." Xiao Qian said.
"Is this why you called us here?" Li Chuwen said in disbelief.
"His Royal Highness King Xi, you are really worried too much? Han people are Han people after all. General Guo has 50,000 elite soldiers, can't he kill those Han people?" Xiao Yun also said in disbelief, his face even showed a look of disbelief.
With a sarcastic smile, he felt that Xiao Qian was so boring that he even called them over for such a thing late at night.
"Master Li, General Xiao, can you tell me how the Liangshan army conquered Xijing?" Xiao Qian said suddenly.
"This..." Li Chuwen was speechless. As soon as the Liangshan army came, he took his son and fled Xijing. How did he know how Xijing was captured?
"Liangshan adopted a trick and came near Xijing on the first night. They did not attack the city. Instead, they kept beating drums and shouting that my soldiers and horses in Xijing could not sleep. The next morning, they arrived with a hundred thousand troops.
Another feint attack made our troops nervous!
At night, they harassed us again and wouldn't let us sleep. As a result, they secretly sent elites to knock down the northern city wall, so I had to lead people to leave Xijing! They were able to win entirely through trickery, and they didn't have much strength themselves.
." Xiao Yun snorted coldly and said.
"So, General Xiao, you didn't have a real battle with Liangshan soldiers and horses?" Xiao Qian said.
"Well... I did not fight them head-on! By the way, when we left Xijing later, they suddenly had cavalry rushing towards me. At that time, my soldiers were extremely exhausted, and some of them were lying on the ground and couldn't get up.
Let them take advantage. Speaking of which, they can only rely on trickery and no force. The Han people are cowardly, incompetent, and despicable. Don’t you know what they are like?" Xiao Yun said.
Li Chuwen, the more Xiao Yun said this, the more worried Xiao Qian became. The Liangshan army has been fighting all the way, but the Liao Kingdom still doesn't know the true strength of the Liangshan army? There is a saying in the art of war that if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles, but now the Liao Kingdom doesn't know anything about Liangshan's army.
situation, how to fight this battle?
"That's inappropriate! I really shouldn't have let Master Guo go into battle! We should find out Liangshan's strength first!" Xiao Qian frowned, stood up, walked to the window, and said secretly.
"Prince Xi, is this the reason why you called us here? If that's the case, I'll leave!" Xiao Sixian stood up at this moment and said.
"Wait a minute, I called you here for something important." Xiao Qian said.
"Why don't you tell me quickly?" Xiao Sixian said impatiently.
"I want you all to watch your majesty together and not let him leave Yanjing City. Yanjing is the last city of our Liao Kingdom, and we must not lose it! I have sent people to inform Yelu Dashi in the north, and he will bring him soon.
When the soldiers return, the siege of Yanjing will be lifted! If the emperor leaves at this time, Yanjing will be doomed!" Xiao Qian said painstakingly.
Hearing that Xiao Qian was talking about this matter, the three of them became more and more impatient. And from what Xiao Qian said, he was actually considering the possibility of Liangshan's army attacking the city. Didn't he think that Guo Yaoshi's resentful army could
Destroy all the Liangshan army?
The three of them felt unhappy, and they all stood up and headed outside.
However, at this moment, the rumble of horse hooves suddenly sounded, and the ground began to shake. The three of them were shocked and looked outside together. But what could they see in this late at night?
"What happened?" Xiao Sixian asked in surprise.
"A large group of cavalry has arrived! Could it be the cavalry from Liangshan?" Xiao Qian said in disbelief.
"It's definitely not Liangshan's cavalry. Liangshan's cavalry is still fighting against Guo Yaoshi's resentful army! Could it be that Yelu Dashi came back with his army?" Xiao Si said first.
After saying that, Xiao Sixian immediately knew that he was wrong. Yelu Dashi was still thousands of miles away, how could he come back in time?
"Let's go out and have a look!" Xiao Qian said.
At that moment, Xiao Qian ran towards the outside, and Xiao Sixian followed. Li Chuwen and Xiao Yun looked at each other. They were a little shocked, and they hurriedly followed.
