- At noon on September 12th, the emperor went out of Yanmen City and directly attacked Xixing Fortress.
At the same time, Zuo Tunwei General Yun Dingxing rushed to Mount Guoshan, was ordered to join the reinforcements from the two capitals, and led the reinforcements from Loufangguan to the Bailangsai battlefield.
Yun Dingxing was in an extremely bad mood, and the emperor's dissatisfaction with him was obvious. Speaking of matters, Yun Dingxing was also extremely dissatisfied with himself. The emperor originally entrusted him with important responsibilities and his life and property, but he had more than enough ambition and insufficient power, and made a mess. To be honest, the emperor didn't chop himself in anger, he was already showing mercy outside the law. As a result, Yun Dingxing was extremely disgusted with the dignitaries of the two capitals. He wanted to kill the emperor with a knife, and he wanted to kill the emperor with a knife from the Northern Lu. Are you too tired of living? This is purely courting death. The emperor will definitely win this decisive battle. When he returns in triumph, the two capitals will surely be turbulent and countless heads will fall to the ground.
But these do not care about Yun Dingxing. What Yun Dingxing is worried about now is that if Pei Shiju's guess is wrong, the reinforcements from the two capitals will not arrive in Taiyuan at all, and will not arrive at the Bailangsai battlefield after seven days. Those who will bear the brunt It was still him. It was normal for the emperor to chop himself in anger.
At noon on September 12th, King Yang Tong of Yue and Li Yuan, ambassador of comfort to Shanxi and Hedong, led reinforcements from Dongdu and Hedong to Fenyang City. To the northeast outside the city is Fenyang Palace, the emperor's palace in Taiyuan.
It is still one day's journey from Xiurongchuan and more than two days' journey from Mount Laoshan. This is even when the soldiers are marching urgently day and night. King Yang Tong of Yue was worried about this, but Duke Li Yuan of Tang Dynasty was calm and composed. He found the officials left behind in Fenyang Palace to inquire about Yanmen's military situation. As a result, he got the news that General Yun Dingxing of Zuotunwei and Xiaoguo Second Army were in In the direction of Laoshan, they fought desperately to block the southbound and northern captives. As for the Yanmen battlefield and even the Daibei battlefield. Fenyang knows nothing.
This is basically consistent with the news obtained from Jinyang City, and Li Yuan was greatly disappointed. It was learned from Jinyang that General Jialan, the deputy ambassador of the Northeast Road and Huben Lang General, led the Yanbei Army to capture the White Wolf Fortress as early as August 19, cutting off the retreat route of the Beibei, and launched a fierce battle with the Beibei army, while the Northeast Road Under the command of the Northeastern Ambassador, General Zuo Yuwei, and Zhuojun left behind Xue Shixiong, the various legions rushed to the Daibei battlefield to support Bailangsai. This has actually formed the pattern of a decisive battle between the north and the south. If the northern captives want to reverse the situation in the unfavorable situation of being surrounded by enemies from both sides and being surrounded. The only way is to capture Yanmen and capture the emperor. Therefore, the intensity of the Yanmen battlefield can be imagined as the fighting time prolongs. The situation is definitely becoming increasingly unfavorable for Yanmen City and the imperial emperor in the city.
Just when Yang Tong was anxious and Li Yuan was disappointed, Fenyang Station suddenly received urgent military information from the front line. This military information must be conveyed to Jinyang City urgently. But Yang Tong and Li Yuan decisively intercepted it.
This is an urgent letter written by Yun Dingxing to the people left behind in Jinyang. The tenth day of the lunar month. The army attacked and advanced towards Naocheng. At noon on the 11th, the army advanced to the foot of Guocheng City, met with Qi King Yang Jian, and immediately organized the army to attack Yanmen City. Yun Dingxing's urgent message was drafted at the foot of Guocheng City. He asked Jinyang to stay behind and transport military supplies to the Yanmen battlefield as quickly as possible. What was most urgently needed on the front line was food, grass and weapons. Of course, reinforcements are needed more, but where are the reinforcements? Yun Dingxing told the left-behind Xingyuan. Once the reinforcements from the two capitals arrive in Jinyang, they are asked to rush to the Yanmen battlefield.
"The Beibei retreated." Li Yuan immediately made a judgment. "After the main Northeast Army entered the White Wolf Fortress, the retreat of the Beibei was completely blocked, and the reinforcements from the two capitals were besieged in Yanmen for a month. , even if they climb, it is time to climb to Yanmen, so the Beilu have no choice but to retreat, and before the reinforcements from the two capitals have arrived on the battlefield, concentrate the main force to capture Bailang Fortress, in order to gain time to successfully break out. "
Yang Tong¡¯s knowledge of military matters was limited, and he was only concerned about the emperor¡¯s safety. ¡°Have the Beibei evacuated Yanmen? Is the emperor safe?¡±
"The emperor is safe and sound." Li Yuan replied in a very affirmative tone. If Yanmen fell and the emperor was captured, the northern captives would threaten the imperial army as soon as possible, so what Yun Dingxing sent at this moment was not this urgent message.
Yang Tong took a long breath. The heavy pressure of the past few days had made him exhausted and unable to support himself.
The chief of the Yue Kingdom, Shi Cui, glanced at Li Yuan, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The crisis in Yanmen has been resolved, and the emperor will return to Taiyuan. Should the reinforcements from the two capitals speed up their pace and head north to meet him?"
Li Yuan understood, smiled and nodded.
The dignitaries in the two capitals were in trouble, and everyone had the idea of ??"killing someone with a borrowed knife." Unexpectedly, the emperor was more sinister than them. After the Eastern Expedition, they rushed to the northern Xinjiang without stopping, and while digging a big trap for the northern captives, He also quietly dug a big grave for the dignitaries of the two capitals.
Li Yuan ordered that the news that the reinforcements from the two capitals had arrived in Taiyuan and were rushing to the Yanmen battlefield should be reported to Zuotunwei General Yun Dingxing as quickly as possible.He also sent an urgent message to Yang Yichen, commander-in-chief of the Xijing reinforcements, asking him to speed up the march. At the same time, the urgent document from Yun Dingxing was sealed as it was and delivered to Jinyang from the inn.
The northern captives are evacuating, the crisis in Yanmen is being lifted, the emperor will be back soon, and the mission of the Qinwang reinforcements from the two capitals has basically been completed. Everyone feels relaxed. Although they are still rushing all the way, the feeling is completely different. There is no need to fight, and there are no need to die. The most important thing is to use some brains to deal with the angry emperor. The civil servants and generals such as Yang Tong, Cui Wei, Li Yuan, Yang Yichen, etc. who came to rescue King Qin easily got a share of the credit, and even won more from the emperor. Trust can be said to achieve multiple things with one stone.
On September 12, fierce fighting was in full swing on the Bailangsai battlefield. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the north and the south fought bloody battles on the battlefield with a radius of dozens of miles, and the sound of killing was loud.
On the same day, Wang Rengong, the governor of Mayi, was still trying his best to attack in the direction of Sangqian Town. According to scout reports, a large number of Beibei troops have crossed the Huangshui River in Sanggan Town in the past few days. It can be judged that the main force of the Beibei troops is withdrawing from the Yanmen battlefield. Judging from the time, under normal circumstances, the Beilu would have retreated back to the desert, taking into account various unfavorable factors such as weather, military supplies, war situation, etc., but since the Beilu persisted until the end, did they capture Yanmen City and capture the emperor?
Wang Rengong was anxious about this and could only pray that Yanmen City would be impregnable and that the emperor would be safe and sound. At the same time, he was extremely dissatisfied with Zuotunwei General Yun Dingxing's delay and concealment in the transmission of information, and he was even more resentful about the delay in the arrival of reinforcements from the two capitals. The emperor has been besieging Yanmen for a month, and the reinforcements from the two capitals have not arrived on the battlefield. This is enough to explain many problems, and it also indicates that the empire and the Eastern Capital will usher in a terrible storm after this battle.
On the night of September 12th, Shibi Khan led his army to Shanyang City.
On the same day and night, Mo Heduo led his army across the Yellow River.
On the same day and night, Kang Sumi led his troops to withdraw from Juzhu Fortress and rushed to Sangqian Town.
On the same day and night, the emperor of the empire arrived at Xixing Fortress.
In the early morning of September 13th, the emperor ordered to launch an attack on Xixing Fortress.
The defense of the Beilu at Xixing Fortress was nothing but a bluff. The imperial army came down with a drum and immediately rushed towards Juzhu Fortress. The morale of the Beilu army defending Juzhu Fortress was low. When they saw the imperial army coming from the high mountains, they immediately abandoned the pass and left.
At noon on September 13th, Kang Sumi arrived at Sangqian Town and, on the orders of Shibi Khan, built defensive positions on both sides of the Yellow River to block the imperial troops pursuing from both directions, Juzhu Fortress and Loufangguan.
On the same day, the battle on the Bailangsai battlefield became more intense. The attrition tactics of the Beibei were like a nightmare for the imperial army. The three main legions of Yanbei, Youzhou and Peiping in the northeast were seriously damaged, and the war situation gradually became unfavorable to the empire.
Jialan urgently wrote to Xue Shixiong, imploring him to ensure the supply of military supplies for the Bailangsai battlefield at all costs. Fifty thousand imperial soldiers fought day and night, and one can imagine the huge military consumption. However, the number of civilians Yanbei could recruit was really limited, and the road from Anyang Town to Bailangsai was rugged and mountainous, making transportation extremely inconvenient. At present, the biggest crisis of the imperial army is not combat attrition, but insufficient military supplies.
Xue Shixiong was currently galloping on the road leading to Anyang Town with Duke Guan Yang Gongren. Behind them were 15,000 soldiers from the Liaoxi and Liaodong legions in the Northeast, as well as tens of thousands of troops supporting from Zhuojun. There were many civilians carrying their goods on their backs and a convoy of cattle and horses stretching for miles, loaded with food and weapons.
Since the beginning of the war, Yanbei has given everything it has, and Zhuojun has also tried its best. The reason why Xue Shixiong and Yang Gongren went to the battlefield of Bailangsai was because he had no way to support Bailangsai. The only thing he could still give to the imperial soldiers was Those who help are to go to the battlefield in person and live and die together with the soldiers, so as to inspire the morale of the soldiers and inspire the morale and courage of the soldiers.
On September 14, the emperor led his army to Sangqian Town and "collided" head-on with the Beili army.
The emperor of the empire had been besieged by the Northern Barbarians for a whole month, and he was already angry. At this moment, his anger exploded, and he commanded all the troops under his command to attack fiercely, vowing to take revenge. However, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Although the troops under the emperor's command were the most elite troops in the empire, they held on to Yanmen and Naocheng for a month, and defended desperately at the Laoshan defense line. Each army suffered heavy casualties and was exhausted. In fact, it was at the end of its war effort. , if the emperor was not in a state of rage and out of control, and ignored the advice and personally led his troops to pursue him, it would be impossible to appear in Sangqian Town today, let alone a tragic battle.
On the same day, Wang Rengong, the governor of Mayi, led his army to Sangqian Town, met with the emperor, and received praise from the emperor.
The Daibei Army also suffered heavy losses, but the emperor was considering the entire war situation and was going to deal a heavy blow to the invading Beibei troops, so he did not consider the losses of the army at all, nor did it matter.Which army has lost its combat effectiveness? His request is that as long as you can still breathe and live, you must go to the battlefield to fight and cut off the heads of the northern captives.
At dusk on the 14th, Shibi Khan led his army to the Bailangsai battlefield, and the last moment of the decisive battle came.
