The two geographical areas of the northeastern hinterland and the Mongolian Plateau are separated by high mountains and ridges, making transportation very inconvenient. Generally speaking, if the forces on the plateau want to intervene in the northeast, they must go south from Linhuangfu Road and cut off the Liaohai Sea Channel
; Or go eastward along the Talugu River, pass through Taizhou and Zhaozhou, arrive at the geographical center of the Northeast, and go to Huining Prefecture in Beijing.
The lower reaches of the Talugu River is the Duck River, which is guarded by the Duck River. Zhaozhou, Baimalu, is naturally an important place.
At that time, Jin Taizu Aguda defeated the Liao general Xiao Sixian by the Ya River, which opened the prelude to a series of victories. Then Emperor Taizong Wu Qimai built a city on the battlefield, and the name of Zhaozhou refers to King Zhaoji of the Jin Kingdom.
Traced here.
In the past few years, Zhaozhou has always stationed heavy troops. As an important support for the Northeast Unified Military Department, Heshi Liede, who served as Zhaozhou's defense envoy, was also a famous and brave general.
Previously, in the east and west of Zhaozhou, Wanyan Tiege from Taizhou and Wanyan Chengchong from Huining Prefecture in Beijing led their troops south respectively to rescue Pu Xianwannu who claimed to be attacked by the Khitans. As a result, Wanyan Tiege's troops were attacked by the Mongolian army.
After a defeat, some soldiers fled back to Taizhou and reported the battle to Heshi Liede.
Heshi Liede knew that something was going wrong and hurriedly divided his troops to go out. He took over the defense of Taizhou with one part and led an elite cavalry army to support the people who came to Beijing.
As a result, when they arrived in Hanzhou, they heard that Pu Xianwannu was malicious and colluded with the officials of Huining Mansion to kidnap Wanyan Chengcheng, the marshal, and annex the people in Beijing. But for some unknown reason, in the middle of the plan, he suddenly withdrew his troops and turned back.
, and left in panic.
While the generals were having different opinions, Heshi Liede arrived with his troops. The troops in the capital were strengthened, and the generals gained courage.
Wanyan Chengchong is old and relies heavily on his daughter Aruzhen for military affairs. Both Aruzhen and Heshi Liede said that after suffering such a big loss today, they must not let Pu Xianwannu go, otherwise this guy will roam around in the hinterland of Liaodong.
I don’t know what the trouble is!
At present, the two groups joined forces and continued southward, intending to seek bad luck for Pu Xianwannu.
Unexpectedly, when we arrived to the north of Huanglonggang, we saw people and horses fighting and sacrificing their lives. Upon further investigation, we found out that Pu Xianwannu and Brother Yeluliu were actually fighting in the same place.
Pu Xianwannu is naturally not a good guy. Brother Yelvliu, a Khitan thief, has also been a formidable enemy that has made people sleepless and uneasy for several years. How can we let go of such a good opportunity for evil dogs to fight for food and kill each other?
The generals were all overjoyed and immediately led their troops to kill them, intending to annihilate the two dog thieves in one fell swoop to avoid future troubles.
On that day, Li Yun focused on the horse business in Huining Prefecture, Shangjing. Naturally, this was because there were a large number of pastures and many horses. At this time, the two Jin armies from Shangjing and Zhaozhou entered the battlefield, including a large number of nomadic soldiers.
There are also enough cavalry.
Among the tens of thousands of people, there were more than 5,000 cavalry, and the soldiers rolled over the ground in droves.
Liu Ziyuan, the cavalry commander under He Shi Lie De, led more than a thousand elite cavalry and formed a huge sharp angle to attack first. Behind him, four other echelons advanced slowly, watching eagerly.
Within the large cavalry, there are also small teams of fifty people. The first twenty people in each team wear iron armor or leather armor and use long weapons such as spears and spears. The last thirty people are the so-called two tribes and five savages who do not wear armor.
And use the bow and arrow.
The cavalry rushed into the hilly area, and the large cavalry formation immediately dispersed, but the small group of fifty people did not disperse. Not only did they not disperse, but they charged forward one after another, roaring and charging.
This Jurchen army stationed in the hinterland of Jinyuan has been unable to maintain a purely Jurchen organization after many losses and transfers, and its armor coverage rate has plummeted. However, the tactics they adopt are still the ones that Jurchens have used for hundreds of years.
The method of the iron cavalry's continuous galloping attack is like a raging wave, with each wave rising higher than the last.
No wonder Pu Xianwannu deliberately planned to seize this army and horses. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, not to mention the soldiers and horses of Xianping Prefecture, even He Shi Liehuanduan's Fuzhou Army was probably much inferior.
Even if these humble people on the border are normal and have nothing to do, they all still rely on force to fight fiercely. On the battlefield, their bloodthirsty and murderous temperament is fully aroused.
Some of them shouted fiercely and urged their horses forward; some waved their swords and screamed strangely; some could not control their fanatical emotions and rushed to the front of the queue even though they were not wearing armor for cover.
All kinds of shouts and shouts, all kinds of terrible things, thousands of riders are like boiling water, and ten thousand people are shouting at the same time.
The Khitan generals raised their eyes and looked into the distance. To the north, some of the monk slaves were fleeing in embarrassment, and some were trying to resist. Where the monk slave himself was, there was only a solitary flag hanging. After a while, a man with disheveled hair and bare clothes appeared.
The wild Jurchen knight with his arms rode past and knocked down the flag with an iron rod.
Outside the Khitan army's central tent, there was a commotion, and all the generals and officers changed their colors.
Brother Yeluliu felt a tightness in his chest and almost vomited blood. However, he was the first to figure out the identity of his bait, the first to be vigilant, and the first to recover from the shock.
In the eyes of some old Khitan nobles, Brother Yeluliu did have limited talents, so he could not open up a business after fighting for several years. But after all, he had been on the battlefield for a long time and had rich combat experience. In such an emergency, he was not at a loss.
, but holding the knife in hand, he strode out of the tent.
"Send the order!"
When the generals heard the general's shouts in panic, they all knelt down.
"Tell Yelu Dula to call two of them and let them lead the troops to join me. I will personally go to attack the troops in Shangjing!"
"As you command!"
"Tell the five generals Yelu Sibu, Po Sha, Yelu's, Li Jianu, and Yelu Xuejun that the previous order remains unchanged. All generals will come forward as a team and attack Pu Xianwannu in turn! Within an hour, Pu Xianwan will be killed.
Take the slave's head, and then work with me to defeat the enemy army in Shangjing! If I defeat the enemy army in Shangjing, but they haven't defeated Pu Xianwannu...all five generals will be killed!"
"As you command!"
Brother Yeluliu raised his machete high and said majestically: "Send the order to the whole army and say that the Jurchens are coming to die. This is the best! After this battle is over, we will be the masters of the Northeast! You will follow me today to defeat the thief. In the future, we will
Share the wealth!"
All the generals responded in unison: "I am willing to follow the King of Liao to defeat the thieves!"
Brother Yeluliu didn't even put away his sword, he just raised his scimitar as a signal. The group mounted their horses with murderous intent. In an instant, they gathered thousands of Khitan soldiers, bypassed the platform occupied by Pu Xianwannu, and ran towards the north.
Pu Xianwannu still stood on top of the giant rock, watching the battle in front of him and sneering repeatedly.
One of the men climbed up the huge rock on hands and feet, smiled at Pu Xianwannu and said: "Envoy, the soldiers and horses in Beijing are here to help us! It seems that they have not understood what happened in Hanzhou! We are saved!"
"
Before he finished speaking, Pu Xianwannu slapped him in the face, spinning him twice and rolling down.
"Continue to defend! Don't let up!" Pu Xianwannu squeezed out the military order through his teeth.
For a while, the three parties were fighting endlessly. The sky was filled with dust in Huanglonggang, and the low sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground merged into a roar, and the roar echoed back and forth in the ravines. It could be vaguely heard dozens of miles away, and the sound that fell into the ears had already been heard.
It didn't sound like the sound of hooves at all, it was clearly the sound of landslides and ground cracking.
At the top of the city wall of Xianping Prefecture, Guo Ning sent out orders repeatedly. In addition to the original cavalry, dozens of groups of light cavalry were sent out for more than forty miles.
In the past three days, the soldiers in Xianping City had eaten and drank well, and everyone was in high spirits. However, Guo Ning had not had a good rest. He had led He Shi Liehuanduan, Li Ting and others to repeatedly deduce the battle situation, which consumed a lot of mental energy.
It's amazing. To be honest, I feel a little top-heavy when standing at the top of the city.
Therefore, Li Ting brewed several pots of qi-replenishing medicinal soup to apologize. Guo Ning was not polite, and each of his subordinates took a pot and drank it.
There is always only one problem that Guo Ning is struggling with.
Liaodong is not the core interest of the navy, but because of the capture of Li Yun and others, Guo Ning continued to invest in strength, from Zhang Qian's 500 men to Li Ting's 2,000 men. Yesterday,
Here, another two thousand people from Han Xuan's command arrived urgently, bringing news that Qiu Huiluo's command had also arrived in Fuzhou and had taken over Gaizhou's city defense.
This is already half of the field elites of the Ding Navy. When the situation in Shandong is still in chaos, if half of the elites are transferred to Liaodong across the sea, Monk Luo must have to fight against all the opinions, and he will also have to go to great lengths to arrange for the assassination of Chu Cai.
.
Guo Ning himself was under great pressure.
As a party that proactively intervenes in the war, he must consider the huge consumption of his own logistics and the concentrated use of limited strength. He must ensure that this military operation can obtain sufficient benefits for his own side and minimize losses.
Therefore, we can only fight quickly and strive to win the battle and defeat the enemy with one blow.
The prerequisite for winning a battle is to figure out who the real key enemy is and where it is.
Previously, Guo Ning told the generals that Pu Xianwannu is now the fat meat on the table, and Brother Yeluliu is the first eater. However, there will be a second and third diners, and the later ones will be.
The customer is more difficult to deal with and more critical.
Now the second diner comes.
Is it time?
Still have to wait?
Will the third diner come? If they have other goals, will they miss the opportunity if they keep waiting?
While Guo Ning was deep in thought, Pu Sulie was sitting steadily in the military camp under the city.
The soldiers in the military camp were all preparing their troops, and the school grounds were very noisy, but the more so, the quieter the camp seemed.
Pu Sulie suddenly heard people outside the tent shouting, he looked down at a woman and two girls leaning on his arms, and felt a little emotional.
This woman's children are the wife and daughter of Pu Suliemeng. As the adopted grandson of Pu Xianwannu, he is naturally qualified to settle his family in the city. I thought that as the city changed hands, the people would suffer a catastrophe.
But I never thought that Guo Ning's military discipline was very strict.
When Pu Sulie returned to Xianping Prefecture for the third time, Guo Ning solemnly asked him to rest for a while, and told him that he and his subordinates, as well as dozens of family members, were all well accommodated alone.
You might as well go and have a look.
This visit lasted a whole morning.
Pu Sulie suddenly lowered his head to see his wife resting peacefully on her husband's arm, and his two daughters, like kittens, subconsciously leaning against their father. He suddenly remembered that most of his subordinates could not come back.
Their screams and the circumstances of their death in battle were all vivid in my mind, just as the crying faces of their relatives also appeared repeatedly in front of Pu Suliemeng.
Pu Sulie quietly pushed his wife and daughter away and strode out.
Until he reached the top of the city, no one stopped him.
"Guo Jiedu!" Pu Sulie suddenly bowed to Han'er and said in a deep voice: "The key lies in the Mongolian army."
"But why haven't the Mongolian troops shown up yet?" The three parties had been fighting for a while, and the sun began to set in the west. Guo Ning looked anxiously outside the city and asked casually.
"The Mongolian army is also waiting for their enemies who should appear in the third wave."
"Besides the Mongols, how can there be a third wave..." Guo Ning said this and suddenly realized: "So that's it."
