However, once Kangsheoli's troops withdrew from Qiaoshan, Langshan and Xiaoqingshan, the flanks of Shibi Khan and his main force of the northern barbarians who were storming the White Wolf Pass would be exposed to the imperial army. In this way, the imperial army It can either launch an attack on the flank of the main force of the Beibei, or dispatch reinforcements directly into the White Wolf Pass. In short, it will definitely bring major obstacles to Shibi Khan's attack on the White Wolf Pass.
Kang Sheoli had no choice but to turn around and fight back to Shenwuchuan. At the same time, he alerted Shibi Khan and asked Shibi Khan to divide his troops appropriately to protect the flanks of the main army. After he recaptured Shenwuchuan, he would attack the Qiaoshan line to ensure Khan can concentrate all his strength to attack the White Wolf Pass.
However, as soon as Kang Sheoli's troops withdrew, the war situation changed again, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Turks.
Before attacking Shenwuchuan, Yang Yichen sent a messenger to the Bailangsai battlefield to find General Li Jing of Youwuwei first, detailed the current military situation, asked him to cooperate in Qiaoshan, Langshan and Xiaoqingshan, and informed the Northeast. The Taoist ambassador, Zhuojun left behind, and Zuoyuwei General Xue Shixiong asked him to keep in touch with him. From now on, the 30,000 soldiers of Xijing will obey the orders of Lord Wuyin and fight side by side with the soldiers of Northeast Road on the Bailangsai battlefield, living and dying together.
After Li Jing received the message, he immediately informed all the Yingyang officials in Peiping that General Shang and Qin Xinggong led the Xijing reinforcements to Shenwuchuan. They were forcibly crossing the Sanggan River and attacking Shenwuchuan. The battle situation was about to change. Please pay close attention to Zhu Yingyang. On the battlefield, once they find signs of retreat from the Beibei, they will launch a counterattack without hesitation. They must drag the main force of the Beibei on the battlefield to buy enough time for the Xijing army to cross the river and attack Shenwuchuan.
In the early morning of September 21, the Beilu army that was continuously attacking Qiaoshan took the lead in retreating, and then the Beilu troops in the direction of Langshan and Xiaoqingshan also gradually retreated.
The Peiping Army then took the initiative to attack and struggled to hold back the retreating enemy.
After Li Jing heard the news, he told the officials in Peiping: If the attack of the Xijing army goes smoothly. If the Shenwuchuan is captured, the Northern Barbarians will be trapped in the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. They will have no choice but to mobilize their troops to fight back. The main force of the Northern Barbarians who are attacking the White Wolf Pass will also deploy their troops to attack the Shenwuchuan to ensure their flanks and rear flanks. Therefore, the Xijing army must be trapped in the front and rear attacks of the Beilu. Although the Xijing army was able to contain some of the Beibei troops and alleviate the heavy pressure on the White Wolf Pass to a certain extent, it was in danger under the attack of the Beiping army, so the Peiping army had to take the initiative. Attack the Shenwuchuan from Qiaoshan, Langshan and Xiaoqingshan, and try their best to support the Xijing army, hoping that when the two armies join forces to fight, more Beibei troops will be attracted to attack, and then form a strong support for the White Wolf Pass.
???????????????????????????????????????? Before dawn. The Beilu troops in Qiaoshan, Langshan and Xiaoqingshan were retreating faster and faster. The Peking Army pressed forward step by step. Chase and fight fiercely.
???????????????????????????????????????? Before dawn. Kang Sheo led the main force of his headquarters to Shenwuchuan and launched a fierce attack.
Under the command of Yang Yichen, the Xijing army had formed a battle formation, and heavy weapons and weapons were continuously transported from the other side. After the victory in the first battle, the soldiers were full of momentum and were not afraid of the main force of the Northern invaders. The sound of killing shook the sky.
On the eve of dawn, Shibi Khan received the urgent report from Kang Sheoli and was extremely anxious.
Shenwu River must be taken back, otherwise our flank will be completely exposed to the attack of the imperial army. As a result, our own side was surrounded by enemies from both sides and could not concentrate its efforts to attack the White Wolf Pass. What was even more serious was that once the imperial army established a foothold in Shenwu River, it would compete with the imperial troops in Qiaoshan, Langshan, and Xiaoqingshan, as well as the White Wolf Pass. Support, that is equivalent to the Chinese people defending the White Wolf Pass from the front, while also punching from the flanks. In this case, one's own side will definitely fall into passivity. However, in this case, the force to attack the White Wolf Pass will not be enough, which will give the imperial army that holds the White Wolf Pass breathing time, and will delay the Turks' time to open their way home, while the emperor and the imperial reinforcements are coming from The two sides of the Sanggan River are approaching quickly. The situation is extremely critical and time is getting tighter. How to choose?
After repeated weighings, Shibi Khan resolutely decided to mobilize 20,000 troops to attack Shenwuchuan with Kang Sheoli's troops. In critical moments, you must be calm and collected, and you must not panic or lose yourself in any situation. The water will come and the earth will cover him, and the soldiers will meet him. Kill him, kill him, and his corpses will be scattered all over the field. Let's see who is more powerful in controlling strings in the north, or your southern guards are brave.
On September 21st, the rising sun rose in the east, and the golden sunshine filled the Bailangsai battlefield.
In the northeast of the battlefield, fierce fighting is taking place at Bailang Pass and fierce fighting is taking place at Efeikou. At the beginning of the war, Khan oversaw a violent attack at the White Wolf Pass, and then Lifushu Ashina Duli, still suffering from serious injuries, went to Goose Feikou to direct the battle. There are only fifteen miles between the two brothers, but this is an insurmountable fifteen miles. There is hope that the two brothers will reunite, but as time goes on, despair is simmering in the hearts of the two, getting stronger and stronger.
In the southwest of the battlefield, in the valley area less than ten miles around the Shenwu River, the north and south sidesThe four armies put in a total of about 100,000 troops to fight wildly.
Yang Yichen¡¯s Xijing army fell into a pincer attack by the Northern Lu army, while Kang Sheoli¡¯s Northern Lu army also fell into a pincer attack by the Imperial army. The battlefields on both sides were crisscrossed, and the soldiers on both sides fought bloody battles. The battle was extremely tragic.
On September 21st, the emperor was in a high mood. The feeling of being a king who controlled the world and controlled everything made him very happy and excited. When he was full of passion, he couldn't help but compose an impromptu poem.
However, his happiness was short-lived. The attack of the army was blocked. Although the soldiers on the front line moved forward indomitably, the Beibei army had been compressed into a narrow battlefield only seventy or eighty miles long. There was no way to retreat. There was no way to retreat even if they wanted to. Fight to the death. If the imperial army wants to continue to advance, they can only advance on the bodies of Beilu.
At this time, messengers sent by Xue Shixiong and Jialan arrived and reported in detail the battle situation at White Wolf Fortress. Yang Gongren, the Duke of Guan who stayed behind in Liaodong, led his troops to support him at the critical moment and quickly alleviated the crisis in the fortress. However, the disadvantage in strength, fatigue and damage after a long battle made it increasingly difficult to hold on to the fortress. Xue Shixiong and Jialan implored the emperor to attack, attack, attack at any cost, and must severely inflict heavy damage on the Beilu and destroy the will of the Beilu in order to win the final and comprehensive victory in the decisive battle.
The emperor deeply felt the loyalty of Xue Shixiong, Jia Lan and other imperial generals, as well as all the imperial soldiers who fought on the decisive battlefield, to the empire and himself. At the same time, he was full of anger towards the conservative dignitaries of the two capitals, his political opponents, the generals and generals of the Wei government who refused to obey King Qin, and the local officials and many Yingyang government officials who ignored King Qin's edict and refused to send troops.
It is precisely because of the obstruction and betrayal of these people that King Qin's army in the north is only a mere 100,000. If this number could be doubled, then the imperial army on the decisive battlefield could reach as many as 300,000 people. In this case, they would surely be able to use the power of thunder to cut down the northern captives and kill the first and last rebels. However, this is no longer possible. The only thing the emperor can do now is to supervise his troops to fight to the death, boost their morale with promotions and titles, and boost their morale by visiting the front line in person.
On September 22, the decisive battle fell into an even more tragic stalemate.
Because the 30,000 Xijing reinforcements roared like sharp arrows into the White Wolf Pass battlefield, and were firmly "nailed" on the Shenwu River, successfully containing tens of thousands of northern rebel troops, resulting in the lack of stamina of the Turks who attacked the White Wolf Pass, and they could no longer As their abilities advanced further, the two sides in the South immediately fell into a war of attrition, with both sides fighting for their will to see who could persevere to the end.
At the beginning, the Khan and the powerful officials in the account gradually became frightened.
The longer the war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the Turks. In addition to the increasingly bad weather and serious shortage of food and weapons, there are also many unfavorable factors such as a sharp reduction in military strength, an increasingly low military morale and morale, etc. Therefore, with no other solution, the war has begun. Bi Khan then adopted the opinions of his staff and sent his secret envoy to negotiate a peace with the emperor in exchange for survival.
The history of war between the North and the South for more than a thousand years is actually a history of peace negotiations between the North and the South. Since recorded history, the Civil War has never been interrupted. The two sides fought year after year. In the end, no one could do anything to the other. Therefore, every war ended with peace negotiations. Both sides used temporary peace to heal their wounds and recover. Stay strong and wait for the opportunity. When the time comes, the war begins again. This happens over and over again, and over time it becomes a routine.
At the end of the day, Khan apologized, offered some compensation, and promised never to offend China again.
The emperor refused. Since he came to the throne, the national defense and diplomatic strategies he has planned, the western and eastern expeditions he has launched, and everything he has done to exhaust the country's power are all for this moment. He didn't hesitate to take risks and Yanmen was humiliated, just for this moment. In order for the empire to severely inflict heavy losses on the Northern invaders, for the Central Plains to win the Civil War, and for the Central Plains to gain at least a whole generation of time for people to recuperate, live and work in peace and contentment, and develop their national strength, the emperor would never give up or negotiate peace lightly.
It just so happened that at this moment, Taiyuan was in a hurry, Yanmen was in a hurry, the Taihang bandit kings Xuba and Wei Daoer came down the mountain, hundreds of thousands of rebels rushed out of Taihang like a roaring torrent, and wreaked havoc on the land of Shanxi.
There are no soldiers in Taiyuan, and there are no soldiers in Yanmen. The Taihang thieves can do whatever they want, and their goal is clear, which is to capture Jinyang City, which is to capture Yanmen City, cut off the transportation channels of the imperial army, interrupt the military supply of the imperial army, and put the imperial army at risk. The desperate situation forced the emperor to end the decisive battle and let the northern captives break through and leave.
If the northern rebels retain a certain strength, they can pose a threat to the northern frontier of the Central Plains, and the empire's northern border garrison will have to fight on two fronts: external defense against enemies and internal counterinsurgency. This will provide opportunities for the development and growth of the Taihang thieves. Gained time and space.
The emperor was so angry that his eyes were about to split, and he gnashed his teeth, wishing he could eat the Taihang thief alive.
Nayan Suwei resolutely advised him that if he continued to fight, even if the Turks were defeated, the imperial army would be defeated.?How much can be left? If there are not many elite soldiers of the empire left who are loyal to the Holy Lord, then what will the Holy Lord do to defend the northern border after the decisive battle? What can we do to intimidate the powerful people in the two capitals? What else can be used to quell rebellions, resolve domestic crises, and stabilize the domestic situation?
The emperor refused to accept advice, refused to negotiate peace, and refused to give up.
The emperor issued an edict, fight! Kill them all! Only by severely inflicting heavy losses on the Northern Barbarians, only by completely defeating the Northern Barbarians, and only by annihilating the elite Turks can we achieve the goal of resisting foreigners and win long-term peace and stability for China.
