The Liao people's 400,000-strong army are all cavalry, while most of Yue Fei's army is infantry. If fighting on the plains, the cavalry has a clear advantage over the infantry. Although Yue Fei is not afraid, he will never take advantage of his disadvantage.
Advantages over others. "Please familiarize yourself with the domain name." He kept looking upwards, and finally landed on the Yanshan Mountains above. In addition to the peaks, there is also the Great Wall. Of course, this Great Wall has been abandoned for 200 years.
"The Yanshan Mountains can be used as a battlefield!"
Yue Fei carefully analyzed how to arrange and use troops. He came up with countless ideas in an instant, but everything had to wait until the enemy's 400,000 troops arrived. The situation on the battlefield changed too fast, and now he could only
A rough battle plan can be formulated, and the rest needs to be changed according to the enemy.
After a long time, Yue Fei's eyes saw Yanjing City again.
"There is no need to defeat Yanjing for the time being, we can use it as a secret way to fly.
According to the information obtained by the Liangshan Intelligence Department, many relatives of the Liao generals are in Yanjing City. With the bait of Yanjing City, they will definitely return with their soldiers to rescue them. If Yanjing City is captured now, it may not be a good thing.
Anyway, the current Yanjing City has little power. For Yue Fei, it will be easy to defeat it. Keeping Yanjing City here does not pose any threat to himself, so just keep it.
After Liu Guangshi left Yue Fei's military camp, he took one of his troops to recapture the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun that day.
He recovered Yanyun very quickly. On the one hand, he had the imperial edict of the Emperor of Liao in his hand. On the other hand, he also carried the heads of the resentful generals. Everywhere he went, he first handed over the imperial edict of the Emperor of Liao.
, ordered those places to surrender. While issuing the imperial edict, he also
The heads of all the military generals were displayed, and they explained the fact that the resentful army had been completely wiped out. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are now extremely empty. There are not many garrison troops in each city, and they are all old and weak, with no resistance at all.
Faced with the imperial edict and the heads of the resentful generals, they surrendered one after another.
On April 22, Liu Guangshi conquered Shunzhou, Ruzhou, and Tanzhou.
By April 25th, when they arrived in Keyingzhou and Mozhou, the only thing they did in the past few days was to rush on their way without encountering any resistance.
Only when they arrived at Jizhou, the garrison here did not surrender, but prepared to resist. However, there were only 1,000 soldiers in Jizhou, and all of them were old and weak. Liu Guangshi's deputy general Wang De personally led the suicide squad and rushed forward.
, a killing spree, and only half an hour later, Jizhou City was broken, and the Jizhou defender was captured alive by Liu Guangshi.
The news that Liu Guangshi continued to attack the city and conquer the territory reached Yanjing City, and every soldier of the Third Army was extremely happy. It has been less than a month since they raised their troops, plus the Liao people's Xijing, plus Hedong
The northern state capitals, plus the current state capitals that Liu Guangshi surrendered, almost all of Yanyun were defeated. Now the only thing left is Yanjing, but everyone knows that the city of Yanjing is vulnerable, and the Third Army is not
It can't be defeated, it's just that there is no attack for the time being!
Everyone is happy and excited. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are such a large territory. There are many majestic cities here. Whether it is Datong, Yanjing, Jizhou and other places, they are all ancient cities famous in the world. During the Han and Tang Dynasties
, here is the northern defense line of the Han people, and here is the world-famous Great Wall! In the Song Dynasty, all these were lost, and the Han people began to be constantly oppressed by the nomads in the north, and now all this has been brought back by Liangshan!
"Brother, we are marching so fast. I feel like I am dreaming! We captured Yanyun with almost no effort!" On the morning of April 30, Yue Fei and Zhang Xian inspected the military camp. Zhang Xian could not conceal his excitement.
road.
"The whole Yanyun is full of old and weak people, so it won't take much effort to defeat them! Yanjing City originally had 100,000 elite soldiers, but these 100,000 elite soldiers are no different from those old and weak people. They
You still have to leave the city and deliver him to us personally for us to kill, so who can blame you?" Yue Fei also said with a smile.
The Liao Kingdom in this era indeed had little power. In the original history, the Song army once went north and attacked the city of Yanjing, but was defeated by the Liao people. Later, when nv Zhenren went south, there were almost no troops in the city of Yanjing.
Before Wanyan Aguda came to Yanjing City, all the Liao people had already fled. Wanyan Aguda also easily captured the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun at that time.
Now it is advantageous for Yue Fei and his Third Army.
"Brother, you said that if we attack the Liao Kingdom and capture Yanyun, will the Song soldiers take the opportunity to attack Hedong?" Zhang Xian asked.
"I don't know about this, it shouldn't happen." Yue Fei thought for a moment and said.
The Song army lacks the spirit of bravery and will never take the initiative to attack under normal circumstances. Even if Hedong is now empty of troops, they will probably be timid. They will have to discuss it internally for a long time. Even if they really want to send troops, I am afraid they will need to
In a month or two, by that time, the huacai will be cold.
In fact, the Song Dynasty was discussing internally whether to send troops.
In Bianliang City, there is a flourishing scene.
Fang La's incident did not have much impact on Bianliang. Although he was frightened for a while, it has now returned to normal. Fang La is still hanging out in Sichuan, but no one takes him seriously.
Song Huizong Zhao Ji regained power, and Prince Zhao Huan was once again imprisoned in the cold palace and was not liked by him.
The court had learned about the dispatch of troops to Hedong, and Zhao Ji hurriedly summoned the ministers to discuss the matter.
Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng and other old people have arrived. In addition to these old people, there are also some new ministers, including the famous ministers Huang Qianshan, Li Bangyan, Zhang Bangchang and others in history, as well as the four great ministers of later generations.
Zhao Ding among the famous officials of ZTE.
Zhao Ji looked at the respectful manners of the ministers and felt quite satisfied. After what happened with Fang La, he finally stopped Hua Shi Gang and decided to really do a few good deeds to revive the Song Dynasty.
"Tong Guan wrote a letter saying that the Liangshan bandits in Hedong have sent out a large army and are heading towards the Liao Kingdom in the north! He asked me to fight and asked to send troops, but I haven't agreed yet. Tell me, do you want to send troops to attack Hedong?" Zhao Ji asked
road.
"Your Majesty, did Lord Tong Guan say how many troops Liangshan sent?" Cai Jing said.
"This... he is not very clear. In his letter to me, he only said that the Liangshan army was dispatched, but did not say how many troops they would send." Zhao Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "We will know how many troops they sent, and then we will decide whether to send troops."
Cai Jing said, "You need to know how many troops they will send!" Just after Cai Jing finished speaking, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian and others all agreed.
Since the Battle of Fangla, Tong Guan has become more and more powerful because of his great contribution to the founding. Zhao Ji even intends to make Tong Guan king. This makes Cai Jing and others very wary! Although they are all favorites, but each other has
There is also a competitive relationship between them. No one wants to see Tong Guan continue to rise to power, so they are absolutely not willing to
Let Tong Guan continue to send troops and build up military exploits, so they all look disapproving of sending troops now. We will wait until we know the number of troops sent by the bandits." At this time, Zhao Ding also stood up and said, although he has different political views from Cai Jing and others,
However, he is very cautious about sending troops and believes that troops cannot be sent out at will.
"Your Majesty, we can wait and see for a while! Mr. Tong said that the Liangshan bandits actually tried to attack the Liao Kingdom. Not to mention that they were not the opponents of the Liao Kingdom at all. Even if they could really defeat the Liao Kingdom, it would require countless troops and at least a year.
Half a year. Such a long time is enough for us to make an accurate judgment." Cai Jing added.
"The Grand Master's words are the words of an old man who plans to seek the country! Okay, I will follow you and wait for a while until more news comes." Zhao Ji said.
Until now, the Song Dynasty court did not have an accurate understanding of Liangshan's military strength. They only knew that Liangshan was very strong, but they did not know how strong it was. They also did not know how weak the old empire of Liao had become. They
I would never have thought that the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun would have been defeated by Yue Fei!
Although Zhongjing of the Liao Kingdom is in the far north, the weather is now unusually warm.
Yelu Dashi was in a good mood. During this period of time, Master Nv had been training the Liao army. The appearance of the Liao army had undergone great changes, and it had gradually taken on the appearance of a strong army. He was very pleased in his heart.
Of course, there are also people in the Liao army who are dissatisfied, mainly some officers. These officers are the sons of aristocrats who usually dominate. They came to the army mainly because of their qualifications. Now they also have to train with the soldiers, so their mood
Extraordinarily bad.
At the end of the training that night, Yelu Dashi summoned many legions in the army!
On the grassland, I saw an open space filled with roasted whole lambs and jars of wine. The officers and generals went crazy when they saw these wines. They had hardly touched wine these days, and they were already depressed.
Best of all, today I can finally relax and enjoy myself.
"Everyone, eat and drink well! You have worked hard in training these days. On behalf of His Majesty, I would like to express my condolences to you!" Yelu Dashi laughed loudly.
The officers all cheered and rushed towards the drunkards.
Yelu Dashi had a smile on his face. He also felt that the officers had been training hard during this period and should be allowed to enjoy it. Not to mention these officers, he could not stand such boring training and felt that it was too much.
It was difficult. Although he had great ambitions, he was born in a noble family and had no hardship in his life, so he could "understand" the mood of the officers.
The cool breeze was blowing on the grassland, and the officers kept cheering, making it a lively scene.
"Jinning, why don't you drink?" Yelu Dashi walked among the crowd, and kept toasting with people he knew well. He gradually became a little moody. When he saw that his nephew Yelu Jinning did not follow him
While drinking, I just stood there, stunned.
"Uncle, do you know that Liangshan soldiers never drink alcohol!" Yelu Jinning said.
"Liangshan does have their own uniqueness, so he is the enemy of our northern people! Our people have been slacking off for countless years. It is impossible for our people to catch up with them now. Today,
It’s okay for me to let them relax,” Yelu Dashi said.
"Uncle, when will we send out troops?" Although Yelu Jinning was dissatisfied, he stopped talking about drinking and asked another question that interested him.
"Of course, the sooner the better! It's just that our soldiers need to train for a while, and our soldiers are really useless. However, these days I feel that they have become a bit of a strong army! Soon, we will be able to go to the battlefield.
Yes." Yelu Dashi laughed.
"I hope I can defeat Liangshan!" Yelu Jinning sighed.
At this time, the sound of horseback riding suddenly came from the distance, and a dozen ordinary soldiers rushed in. Their faces were covered with dust, and everyone was extremely tired.
When these people rolled off their horses, a group of officers surrounded them.
"Bold thing, don't you know that the generals are having a gathering? How dare you break in?" Those officers were extremely angry. In the Liao army, there were clearly different levels. These ordinary soldiers dared to come over, which made the officers think that they were
A great offense.
"General... General... something bad is going to happen..." The few soldiers slowly got up at this moment, and one of them said panting.
"What's the big deal?" At this moment, Yelu Dashi and Yelu Jinning had already walked over, and Yelu Dashi asked.
"The Liangshan army has dispatched and has captured Xijing. It is not far from Yanjing! Your Majesty orders you to lead the army back immediately to rescue Yanjing!" A soldier took a few breaths, and finally returned to normal speaking speed, and then said "Let Yelu Dashi"
Wait for someone's facial expression to change drastically.
