Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On August 23, Wang Rengong, the governor of Mayi, continued to attack Juzhu Fortress.

    On the same day, Beilu from the direction of Shanyang City launched an attack on Sangqian Town, trying to recapture this crucial Jinkou.

    On the same day, the fighting between the north and the south of Yanmen City was fierce and cruel.

    The Northern Barbarians outside the city still maintain high morale. After all, they can surround the emperor of Middle-earth and capture him as long as they capture the city. This temptation is too great, which is equivalent to destroying the entire Middle-earth emperor.  Wealth is in the palm of your hand, but whether you can carry it away depends entirely on your own efforts.  The morale in the city is gradually declining. It has been ten days since the siege. Not only have no reinforcements been seen, but there is also an increasing shortage of food, grass and weapons in the city. The situation is getting more and more serious, and the hope of victory seems to be getting smaller and smaller.  , if the emperor hadn't been sitting on the front line directing the fighting, if the emperor hadn't patrolled the soldiers and civilians every night, the morale in the city would have collapsed long ago, and Yanmen City would not have been able to withstand the fierce attack of hundreds of thousands of northern captives.

    The emperor was very angry. After returning from a late-night inspection, he became furious and scolded the remaining officials in Dongdu and Xijing as well as the guards in the two capitals. He even pointed in the direction of Taiyuan and shouted that he wanted to cut off Yun Dingxing's head.  There was no sign of reinforcements for ten days. This gave the emperor, who was in deep danger, a strong sense of fear of being betrayed and abandoned. He became angry. He even blamed himself for being too soft-hearted and regretted that he had rebelled against Yang Xuangan.  There was no mass killing or massacre after the incident.  If all those who oppose the reform, those with ulterior motives, and those who conspire are killed, we will not be in trouble today.

    The officials in the coffin remained silent, allowing the emperor to vent his anger.  They also have anger.  But he couldn't vent it out, so he could only endure it and persuade the emperor to calm down.  The left-behind officials in the two capitals did not dare to fail to serve the king, as this was related to the future of the Middle-earth Empire and even themselves; Taiyuan Yun Dingxing did not dare not to rescue him, as this was directly related to his head. How could he dare not to fight to the death with all his strength?  Why are there no traces of the reinforcements yet?  It takes time to deliver the message, and it takes time for the army to rush in for reinforcements. The road from Liangjing to Yanmen is long. Everyone just walks on two feet and does not have wings to fly. How can it be so fast?  Moreover.  If the reinforcements arrive at Yanmen City now, the Beilu will inevitably evacuate quickly when they see that the situation is not good for them. If they withdraw too quickly, the emperor will have no worries, but the strategy of severely damaging the Beilu has failed. This will be detrimental to the empire.  It was an unbearable pain for both the emperor and the emperor.

    "Do you have any strategy for retreating from the enemy?"

    The emperor became even more angry when he saw that a group of central ministers had shut their mouths, showing an indifferent attitude like a tall man would hold up the sky if it fell, and the matter was of no concern to him.  Pointing at Yu Wenshu, he shouted sharply, "Ai Qing is the pillar of the earth. In critical moments, you should stand up and turn the tide."

    Yu Wenshu had a sad face and didn¡¯t know what to say.  This crisis comes from your willfulness. You alone have been secretly planning the decisive battle between the North and the South from beginning to end. Now that you are riding a tiger, you are calling us useless. You have to give me a place to use it, right?  Seeing that the emperor was so angry and wanted to scold, Yuwenshu was so anxious that he could only talk nonsense, "Your Majesty, the military situation is critical today. Yanmen is in danger, and I urge you to break out of the encirclement. I am willing to lead two thousand fine cavalry on the left and right to defend the Holy Lord and break out of the encirclement."  "

    The emperor laughed angrily and stared at Yuwenshu, wishing he could slap his ear braces on his ears.  Do you want me to die?  Two thousand riders to break through?  I bet you can figure it out.  Outside the city, there were as many as hundreds of thousands of soldiers under the control of the Northern Guards. Two thousand cavalry rushed into the enemy formation, just like pebbles thrown into water without even a splash.

    Pei Shiju, Su Wei, Lai Huer and other ministers were also dumbfounded.  How long has this been, and you still have the leisure and elegance to tease the emperor.

    The emperor drove Yu Wenshu and others away in anger, leaving Pei Shiju alone.  Neither of them spoke.  Each has their own thoughts.  Both of them had expected this scene before entering Yanmen. All news was interrupted and they could only pray helplessly and wait in anxiety.  This is the critical moment.  Only by firm belief and perseverance.

    "Jialan said when will the rebels evacuate?"

    The emperor's voice sounded faintly, revealing a deep exhaustion and deep melancholy.

    "Mid-September," Pei Shiju said.  His voice was calm, firm and resolute, exuding a strong sense of confidence.

    "There are at least twenty days left." The emperor counted it carefully on his fingers and sighed, "There is not enough food."

    "That's enough." Pei Shiju said with certainty, "The daily fierce fighting has huge casualties, which effectively reduces the population in the city; halving the rations for the elderly, weak, women and children can also effectively extend the support time."

    The emperor nodded repeatedly and agreed with Pei Shiju's opinion, but this opinion was based on Jialan's accurate prediction of the decisive battle between the north and the south. If his prediction failed, the consequences would be disastrous.

    "What is Jialan's reason?" the emperor asked. The emperor knew these reasons very well. He knew it very well, but out of the fear in his heart, he still wanted to hear Pei Shiju say it again with his own ears.?, in the process of speaking and listening, dispel the haze in your heart and strengthen your belief in victory.

    Pei Shiju spoke eloquently.  The Northern Barbarians did not dare to stay in China for a long time. In addition to political and economic reasons, the biggest military disadvantage was that it was very difficult to supply military supplies to the expeditionary force.  Imagine that with the great power of the empire, they went on an expedition to the small country of Goguryeo, using both land and water, but they suffered successive defeats due to difficulties in military supply. Not to mention that the northern barbarians in the desert, with their meager national power, went on an expedition to China, which was countless times more powerful than themselves.  Its failure is inevitable.

    The Beilu are good at using war to support war, but this strategy can only solve the temporary crisis, but it cannot fundamentally solve the huge disparity in national power between the two sides. Especially when the two sides seek a large-scale decisive battle, the level of national power is actually directly affected.  It determines the outcome of the war, so Jialan vowed and categorically said that if the Beibei could persist on the Daibei battlefield for at most one month, victory would definitely belong to the empire.

    Pei Shiju was knowledgeable and cited many real examples from history, which made the emperor's melancholy mood improve, and his self-confidence once again defeated fear.  The emperor and his ministers immediately discussed the defense plan. As they talked, the emperor frowned and looked melancholy again. After all, the reality was too cruel and the emperor could not deceive himself.

    "Where is Jialan?" the emperor asked.

    "He is not outside Yunnei City at this time, just under the White Wolf Fortress." Pei Shiju replied calmly.

    The emperor was not satisfied with this answer.  He asked, "Where is he?"

    Pei Shiju thought for a moment and said in a very positive tone, "He is in Bailangsai."

    Based on Pei Shiju's understanding of Jialan, he has always been domineering, decisive and ruthless in his actions. He is ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to his enemies. If he doesn't take action, he will definitely seal his throat with a sword.  for sure.  At this moment, Jialan must be at White Wolf Fortress, like a thunder blade, cutting the Beilu army in half.

    "Jialan is in Bailang fortress?" the emperor said to himself, while leaning down to look at the map, "If you attack the enemy, you must save him. What a good plan!" Then he looked up at Pei Shiju and asked in a suspicious tone, "Is Jialan really  Are you in Bailangsai?"

    Pei Shiju knew the emperor's mentality at the moment.  The emperor was actually very timid in his heart, but he had to persist.  Strong confidence must be given to the Yanmen soldiers and civilians, and for this he must overcome his own cowardice. For this reason, he places all his hopes on Jialan. For this reason, he talks about Jialan over and over again, but in fact he does not miss Jialan at all.  , he just used this method to contain his inner demons and defeat himself.

    "Your Majesty, believe me, veteran, Jialan will definitely fight bloody battles under the White Wolf Fortress."

    August 24th.  White wolf plug.

    That morning, the Beibei soldiers reached the foot of Efeokou pass.

    In order to capture Goosekou as soon as possible, Lifushu and Ashenadoli sent all their main forces into battle.  Considering that the battlefield was too narrow to form an overwhelming and overwhelming offensive, Ashina Duoli ordered that the main team line up in a long snake formation.  They took turns to go into battle, roaring up like a flood that burst a dike, not giving the people of the Middle-earth country any time to breathe, and so on.  Our own army can still take advantage of its numbers and attack Goosekou with absolute strength.

    That morning, the deputy ambassador of the Northeast Road, Wu Benlang General Jialan, was at the key pass of Efeokou. Also going to Efeokou with him were Buyi, Jiang Duhou, Yang Hu, Chu Yue, Mao Yuxuan, Liu Heitai, Cao Dan and Wang An's eight  Yingyang Mansion, a total of forty-eight infantry regiments, plus the two Yingyang Mansion of Su Dingfang and Sima Changan who were guarding Efeokou Pass and fighting the Beilu in front. On the 24th, the Yanbei Army was on the Efeokou battlefield.  A total of ten Yingyang Mansion and sixty infantry regiments were invested.

    It was not the right time, and the northern barbarians were gradually showing signs of fatigue, but Ashina Doli and the commanders of the tribes were on the front line to supervise the battle, and their attacks were still fierce.  Efeokou was gradually weakened by the violent storm of the Beibei. There were several crises and the defense line was crumbling.

    Zhu Yingyang, the main force of the Yanbei Army, has already entered the fighting position, but Jialan has not ordered an attack. On the contrary, he asked Su Dingfang and Sima Changan to "act" more realistically in defense, so as to make the Beibei realize that they only need to  With a little more effort, the pass can be captured, which will then induce Zilifushe to transfer more of his main force to the south bank of Goose Feishui.

    When Liveshe fell into the trap, he was eager to capture Efeokou before dusk, so he did not hesitate to mobilize new troops to enter the battlefield on the south bank of Efeishui.

    It¡¯s time in the afternoon and the sun is setting in the west.

    The Beilu offensive was like a tide and the momentum was like a rainbow.  Su Dingfang and Sima Changan gritted their teeth and persisted, living and dying together with the guards, fighting bravely, and never retreating to the death.

    Heading west to report the news from Huanghuadui, Kang Sheoli ordered the end of today's attack and withdrew the army from the battlefield at the eleventh hour.

    Jialan gave the order, and Zhu Yingyang immediately launched an attack and dealt a fatal blow to Beilu.

    Suddenly, drums and trumpets sounded, and Yang HuHe and Chu Yue each led a Yingyang Mansion to attack from the upstream and downstream of Efeishui at the same time, cutting off the Beilu army with lightning speed, and then laid out layers of resistance on the embankments and beaches on both sides of Eifeushui.  Connected layer by layer with iron chains, they successfully cut off the connection between the Beilu armies on both sides of Efeishui, and surrounded the main Beilu army that attacked Efeikou.

    Buyi, Jiang Duhou, Mao Yuxuan, Liu Heitai, Cao Dan and Wang An commanded six Yingyangfu to fight out from the mountains on both sides of the Efeokou battlefield. Taking advantage of the panic of the northern captives, like roaring arrows, they penetrated through  The Beilu battle formation completed the division of the enemy's army, and then started a bloody killing.

    The two sides fought to the death, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

    In this battle, the Yanbei Army invested ten Yingyang Mansion, sixty infantry regiments, and more than 12,000 soldiers. Among them, eight Yingyang Mansion and forty-eight infantry regiments were the absolute main force to recharge their batteries, and  Beilu invested about 5,000 men in the attack, and they fought in turns for more than four hours. They had suffered hundreds of casualties and were exhausted.  As one can imagine, the Beibei army collapsed quickly and suffered all casualties under the crazy attack of the Yanbei army.

    The sunset is like blood.  When the Beilu army on the north bank of Efeishui destroyed the Yanbei army's horse-rejection formation at all costs, the fighting on the south bank was coming to an end.  Jialan decisively ordered to evacuate the battlefield, allowing the remaining northern prisoners to flee.

    ??The Northern Barbarians suffered heavy losses, and nearly 4,000 elite soldiers were killed.  The commander-in-chief Tilifushu Ashinaduli was seriously injured in the fierce battle. Although he luckily escaped with his life, it caused a fatal blow to the morale and morale of the army.

    Jialan ordered that after Zhu Yingyang took a short rest, he immediately rushed to the Huanghuadui battlefield, and together with the elite cavalry troops who had been waiting there, launched a night attack on Kang Sheoli's army stationed at Jinshatan Beach.
