- The news about Yelu Li and Hu's unsatisfactory advance finally reached Jinzhou. Yelu Chage frowned slightly while facing the two-point news report.
The first message was an official message sent by the army to the rear. The content was very simple. It said that Du Chongwei was timid and fearful of the enemy, which caused Xiao Juali to have trouble advancing. He was besieged by the Tang army in Luanzhou. The regent's troops left Yuguan. He fought with the Tang army in Tangshan and rescued Xiao Juli's troops. The two sides fought a fierce battle and each suffered injuries.
According to this battle report, the situation on the Yuguan front line is invincible.
This first letter was accompanied by a memorial from Yelu Wuzhi. The content of the memorial was to the effect that the Tang people were now well prepared, and if they continued to advance, they would have little chance of winning, so it was better to stop the army.
When Yelu Lihu got this letter, he felt something was wrong, especially when he saw that the letter was accompanied by a memorial from Yelu's house hostage - Yelu's house hostage was half a hostage, how could Li Hu let him hand over the memorial?
Then he heard the second news - there were also people planted by Yelu Chag in the army ahead. This second news came from his cronies.
The second news is very bad, extremely bad, quite bad!
It wasn’t a failure at all, but a defeat—and a very ugly defeat!
Judging from the news reported back by his close associates, after leaving Yuguan, Yelu Lihu fought face to face with the Tang army. As a result, he was beaten to pieces by the Tang army. Du Chongwei died in the battle, Xiao Juli was seriously injured, and Sacou fled before the battle, resulting in The rear army collapsed, half of the Han troops leaving the city were dead and wounded, and half surrendered. The casualties in Xiao Ju's army were close to 20%. The Khitan troops led by Li Hu retreated before they could engage in battle. All the results obtained by crossing the sea and attacking westward were lost, and Shicheng was lost. , Luanzhou was lost. More than 30% of the war horses were lost, and the soldiers who returned to the pass were all panicked and frightened. Their fear of the Tang people was three points worse than after the defeat of Linhuang Mansion. It is said that to this day, Yelu Lihu is still in a state of sometimes furious and sometimes dazed. Cowards cannot govern. Han Deshu claimed that he would never return as an envoy
As for the losses of the Tang Army in this battle it is impossible to tell from the intelligence. No troops were seriously injured, and no named generals were heard to be damaged. In short, from this intelligence , the Khitan was completely defeated in the first battle in Tangshan! Not only was it a huge defeat on the battlefield, but this defeat also seriously affected the psychology of the army after the war!
"this……"
Yelvcha Gaoyuan also expected that Li Hu would not get any benefits from going there. But I didn't expect to lose so miserably! But judging from various signs, the information fed back by his close associates should be true! Du Chongwei's death and Xiao Juli's injuries were difficult to cover up. The memorial attached to Yelvwuzhi in the first letter further illustrates the problem - now Yeluwuzhi has probably recovered to a limited extent in Yuguan. become free. And the henchman who ran back from the front. Speaking of the battle at Yuguan, my expression is still frightening!
This is not good!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away
But such a miserable defeat is not what Chage wants to see. As the saying goes, if the skin is not preserved, the hair will be attached. If the outcome of the war will really affect the stability and even the survival of the entire Liao Kingdom, then it is not the original intention of Chaka.
Suddenly, Yelu Chage felt a hint of regret. Maybe we shouldn’t have been so extreme, maybe we should have compromised with the Southern faction, maybe Yelu Wuzhi was right
However, this thought only passed by for a moment. Yelu Chacai forced this idea out of his mind.
No matter what, the general direction of the situation is still right. No matter how outrageous the defeat is, as long as Yuguan is defended, nothing will happen to Liaodong, as for the country. Now I am in control from top to bottom.
In other words, the current situation is slightly out of control. But it is still beneficial to myself.
Thinking of this, Yelucha couldn't help but smile again.
Then his mind changed slightly. He no longer thought about the defeat in Tangshan and returned to Liaoyang Mansion. Judging from the current situation, Yelu House seemed to be a little out of control again, and everyone was rushing to write a memorial. This sign must be stopped!
Yelu Chage thought of seven or eight follow-up responses in his mind, including how to hold Yelu House hostage, how to hold Yelu Shuogu, how to hold back the counterattack of the entire southern faction, and then how to control Yelu Lihu!
When the external situation stabilizes, and as his control over the entire Liaodong becomes deeper and deeper, he will first depose Li Hu as the regent and become the general marshal of the world's military forces. After a while, he can learn from the Han people. It’s a good trick of giving in!
Thinking of this, Yelu Chage couldn't help but chuckle.
At this moment, a subordinate hurriedly rushed in, with a look of panic on his face, and shouted: "It's not good!"
?Yelu Chage's expression turned cold and he said angrily: "What's wrong! Bastard!"
He was thinking about abdication and ascending the throne, but suddenly one of his subordinates said "no" to him. He felt unlucky!
The messenger knelt down and said with a sad face: "It's not good! Tang Jun Tang Jun has landed!"
Yelucha was stunned: "What landing? Where?"
"Liaojin The Tang army landed at the mouth of the Liaohe River! Liaojin has fallen!"
Yelu Chage's face changed drastically when he heard this. Everything about suppressing the house, manipulating Li Hu, and abdicating the throne were all thrown out of the sky in an instant!
"what happened!"
He shouted sharply, his voice was extremely shrill!
"The Tang army suddenly attacked Liaojin in a large scale. The Han army in Liaojin rebelled, and the Tang army invaded Liaojin. They failed to break through. Now Liaojin is afraid that it has fallen!"
The fat on Yelucha’s cut face trembled, and he was speechless for a long time! When asked further, the messenger could not give any more details.
This is the earliest news to arrive, some details have not yet arrived.
Yelu Chacai no longer cares about things in the west. His confidants are in serious trouble, so how can he care about his brothers and sisters? He quickly sent someone to investigate again.
Until the people sent out set out, he almost couldn’t believe that the news of Liaojin’s fall was true!
But deep in my heart, I felt vaguely that this news could not be wrong.
After all, he was considered a famous Khitan general at that time. He thought about the various developments of the Tang army during this period and compared the advantages and disadvantages of the Tang and Liao sides. He also thought about the situation about Han Deshu's departure and never returned. He also thought about the surprise attack across the sea by Han Deshu. hand. A burst of cold air came out suddenly!
"Could it be that we have all been plotted by Zhang Mai?"
??????????????????????? If Liaojin is really lost, then why do you want to fight internally? Once the Tang army lands at the mouth of the Liaohe River, the entire Liao Dynasty will be doomed! The Liao Dynasty is over, who will Yelv Chaga fight with?
On the second day, we heard that not only Liaojin had fallen. Moreover, the Tang army will march northward from now on! The general guarding Liaojin tried to break through Weiguo, but was scalded to death by boiling oil at the north gate!
The general died, the country lost its gates, and the enemy troops marched towards the capital - this was the beginning of the country's downfall!
What a disaster!
What a disaster!
There are now nearly one million Han people in the Liaohe River Basin!
???????????????? And those are still Han Chinese who haven’t been raised yet! Once the Tang army marches north, the whole of Liaodong will be over!
?Then what’s the point of guarding Yuguan and Jinzhou 1
"Commander!"
A shout from inside the door pulled Yelucha back to his senses. By this time the news had spread, and Yelucha's generals came one after another.
"Gather the troops and horses!" Yelu Chacao shouted: "Hurry! We must go to rescue Liaoyang Mansion immediately!"
After the Tang army landed, they immediately marched north. The target was obviously Liaoyang Mansion - Zhang Mai was going straight to Huanglong!
Immediate rescue is required!
It is necessary to take advantage of the Tang army's unstable footing to attack head-on, otherwise Liaoyang Prefecture will fall. Then it's all over!
Jinzhou still has seven to eight thousand infantry and more than nine thousand cavalry. The cavalry are all direct descendants of the northern faction brought by Yelucha. They are powerful, loyal and reliable, so they assemble quickly after the order is given.
Liaojin fell too quickly. Many Khitan people fled in all directions and spread the news randomly. The Liao Kingdom had no time to take precautions. Therefore, all kinds of rumors quickly spread throughout Liaodong, and the army was assembled. Half of Jinzhou City already knew about it. The whole city's soldiers and civilians were in a panic, and Yelu Chage immediately ordered troops to be sent to Liaoyang Prefecture without giving much explanation.
——————————
Yelu Chagong led 8,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry in a hurry to Liaoyang Mansion. The cavalry and infantry were all on horseback. Not far after passing Jinzhou was the Liaohe Plain, a flat black land. The current development in Liaodong is mainly in the Liaohe Plain, and most of the other places are still relatively desolate. Or woods or meadows, and occasionally a few pastures.
It’s not far to go. I kept hearing news from the front, and all kinds of intelligence became more and more dangerous and urgent!
The actions of the Tang Army in the Liaohe River Basin were extremely fast! In just a few days, the situation swept the entire Liaohe River Basin!
Yelu Cha was in a great hurry and personally led the vanguard. The cavalry moved very fast, running more than a hundred miles in one day, but the rear army could not keep up. After traveling more than 180 miles, the army line was quite long.
That day I saw the Zhuizi River (one of the tributaries of the Liao River). It was summer, the water was plentiful and the river was wide. The vanguard drove near the dock and began to cross the river. Suddenly, I saw a village by the Zhuizi River where the smoke had not dispersed. With a thought in his heart, he pointed and said: "This HanThe village seems a bit bigger than when we arrived. "The left and right said: "It's really"
Yelucha said: "Wait a minute to cross the river!" He was about to send someone to the village to explore.
By this time, hundreds of people had disembarked from the boat. The order from Yelvcha was passed down. Someone somewhere shouted: "Do it!"
Those rafts suddenly shook, the boats were pierced, and the rafts fell apart! Two to three hundred Khitans fell into the water on the spot! The rest of the people hurriedly went ashore in the chaos, only to see more than a hundred water-savvy soldiers emerging from the water. The waves killed all the Khitans who fell into the water! There were dozens of extremely ferocious ones, like crocodiles, that dragged the Khitans back not far from the water. Within a moment, the Zhuizi River was dyed red.
A general dressed as a boatman at the dock laughed and said: "After all, he is a famous general on the battlefield. He is so alert and has not hidden anything!" He waved to the river, and drums suddenly sounded on the boat!
The Khitan could not help but exclaim: "There is an ambush! There is an ambush! There is an ambush!"
Someone on the boat shouted: "Although it was discovered, it's a pity that it's too late!"
It turns out that the Tang army divided into two groups after occupying Liaojin. Zhao Zan headed north, and the remaining three troops headed west with elite cavalry. One of them had been ambushing by the Zhuizi River for a long time. There are few natural dangers on the road between Jinzhou and Liaoyang that can be ambushed, so he lurked in this village on the bank of Zhuizi River.
As soon as the drum beat on the river, the war drums in the village responded at the same time. A cavalry came out and killed them. There were only two or three thousand people. The horses were all white, the people were all white robes, and the weapons were all silver spears! It turned out to be the famous White Horse Silver Spear Group in the Central Plains!
Yelu and Li Hu also heard about this regiment. But don’t white horses and silver spears guard Yedu? He actually came to Liaodong! He was taken aback and hurriedly responded to the challenge. During this rapid march, the troops did not arrive and were ambushed again. At this time, there were only more than 2,000 people in the vanguard. The uncapsized boats in the river kept firing bows and arrows, disrupting the assembled team of Khitan cavalry. The White Horse Silver Spear Regiment came very quickly and quickly penetrated into the middle of the Khitan troops, stabbing the horses with their spears. The men and horses are rolling, and the guns are deadly!
Among the more than 2,000 people, there are more than 100 horsemen. The horses wear leather armor, the men wear chain mail, and hundreds of spears are fired. Go straight to Yelucha! The Khitan cavalry were not in a stable position and could not stop them. The number one general of the Xi tribe pulled Duokuo and shouted loudly, then rode forward to block Yelu Lihu. In the battle at Linhuang Mansion, he was exhausted and seriously injured. Thanks to La Lajieli, he tried his best to save him, but Oolong Bao Bao died in the battle and the special steel knife was also lost. After returning to the Northeast to recover from his injuries, Yelu Lihu found another war horse for him. Although the new mount was good, it was not as good as the Oolong Divine Horse. However, he did not wear heavy armor during this rapid march, so his speed was not bad.
Hundreds of cavalry with white horses and silver spears defeated more than twenty cavalry in a row. Just as they were about to rush in front of Yelu Chacao, La Duokuo suddenly appeared, waving the newly made lengthened steel knife, still hitting everyone. Kill the horse when you encounter it! In one encounter, three knights on white horses died under his sword! After a while, several people were seriously injured.
Lala Duokuo laughed loudly and said: "Tang Jun boy, who else dares to come and die!" As he said this, he led his subordinates to charge forward in the opposite direction. Relying on his personal bravery, he not only blocked the Tang army's offensive, but also launched counterattacks on local battlefields! The whole Khitan community saw a boost in morale. Yelu Li Hu shouted: "All counterattack! Stand firm! Don't be chaotic! Don't be chaotic! Wait for the follow-up troops to come for reinforcements!"
With a height of more than 1.9 meters, Lala Duokuo sat on a tall horse. Everyone on the battlefield was shorter than him. He looked down at everyone he saw, as majestic as a god descending from heaven! The Tang army originally had the upper hand, but now its advantage was stifled!
At this time, there was a loud sound of horse hooves in the west, but it was the Khitan's follow-up troops who arrived!
Yang Xin, who was lying in ambush in the dark, was secretly anxious and was about to come forward. A young general in the White Horse Silver Spear Formation shouted angrily: "I also have good men in the Han family, how can I allow a barbarian like you to rule the roost!"
A sweaty horse rushed out. It was all white and it was a "cloud-winged horse." On the horse was a young warrior wearing a special bright light armor that was as bright as silver. Rushing into the Khitan formation like a silver thread, it was Gao Huaide, the number one general of the White Horse Silver Spear.
With the development of military technology in Tiance Datang in recent years, the importance of personal bravery in the military has been decreasing day by day. When Zhang Mai inspected armies in various places, he lamented many times that this era may be the last stage for brave generals with cold weapons. Despite this, those powerful generals who have become famous are still greatly admired by the generals. Gao Huaide was young and arrogant, and wanted to win the reputation of the "King of Spears" in the Tang Army. In the past few years, he had worked hard to practice formation battles and marksmanship, and as he got older, his childishness had completely disappeared over the years. He no longer had the tenderness, physical strength and mental strength of his youth. He has matured and grown into a young warrior.
At this time, he rushed into the Khitan formation, and a rotten silver spear unfolded the "whirlwind breaking the path". Wherever it went, horses, blind people, and people fell from their saddles, like gods and demons, making all kinds of mistakes! The dozens of chain-mailed white horse cavalry shouted in unison and followed them. However, Gao Huaide had just issued a challenge, but when he actually entered, he did not directly drag Duo Kuo.Weaving back and forth, the Khitan formation, which had just been about to regain its momentum, was once again in disarray.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Duola Duokuo roared: "Young boy of the Han family! Come here if you have the guts!"
Gao Huaide scoffed, approached Lala Duokuo, passed with a diagonal stab, and pierced the throat of a Khitan cavalryman on the left side of Lala Duokuo, and dragged him off his horse. He was openly exposed under the eyes of Lala Duokuo. After killing his comrade, he came and went suddenly, and there was another chuckle, full of contempt and ridicule!
Tuala Duokuo was furious and rushed forward desperately. The horse broke away from the guards on the left and right in the roar of the war horse. Gao Huaide screamed in surprise, turned his spear on his head and clapped his horse and ran away. Tuala Duokuo danced with his big sword and rushed up a few steps. Gao Huaide spotted Gao Huaide and struck down with his sword. At that moment, Yun Yi Fanyu, who was already running rapidly, accelerated again in an instant, causing Duo Kuo's sure-fire sword to miss suddenly, and the drooping silver spear suddenly dropped like a snake. It bounced up and shot through the collarbone of La Duokuo!
Yang Xin, who was ambushing in secret, couldn't help but cheered: "What a turnaround!"
Tuala Duokuo screamed in agony, and Gao Huaide shouted loudly at the same time. The two generals and horses worked together, Yun Yi Fanyu accelerated again under impossible circumstances, and Tuala Duokuo's horse could not catch up. If there was still an oolong, Now, it is difficult for Gao Huaide to rely on the horse's power. If he was heavily armored, it would be difficult for him to hit his shoulder with this shot, but at this time, Lala Duokuo, who was suffering from pain in his shoulder, was thrown into the air by Gao Huaide's horse!
Amid the exclamations of thousands of people, five silver spears were thrust out at the same time, punching five holes in the mid-air Drago! The giant-like body was still struggling on the barrel of the gun. The blood keeps falling like raindrops!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Lala-Duokuo were the bravest of the Khitan army, he met such a tragic end, all the Khitan generals on the battlefield were terrified when they saw this scene!
The approaching Khitan rescuers made a shrill roar, and a strange-looking general rode out of the formation on a strange pony. The man carried a barrel of arrows on his back, and four more arrows were hung on both sides of the saddle! The arrows were sent out before the men and horses arrived. One arrow is one, and every example is worth it!
“It’s here!”
Yang Xin shouted secretly, and the sound of war drums sounded in a nearby small forest. A group of cavalry archers suddenly approached. This cavalry archer was half Hu and half Han. It was Zhe Congshi who was ordered to select the elite cavalry archers from Hu and Han's hundreds of thousands of troops!
This group of troops came straight towards the Khitan reinforcements. As soon as they were within shooting range, they fired arrows like rain. Thousands of Khitan reinforcements fell off their horses one after another. They failed to catch up with Yelu Lihu and became confused first.
At this time, La Lajieli no longer cared about the victory or defeat on the battlefield, and rushed straight into the chaotic army to save his brother. When he got closer, he saw that he was not moving much in mid-air. He knew that his brother was in despair. Howling loudly, shooting arrows while wailing, now no longer asking for help. In fact, he was deeply involved in the chaos and was in extreme danger, but at this time he did not care about his own safety and only wanted revenge!
Drag Lajieli was riding a strange pony. It was as slippery as a loach in the chaos, and its arrows were like lightning. In the chaotic battlefield, three arrows were fired in succession, and all three arrows were hit. The three knights with silver spears who stabbed and dragged Duo Kuo killed two on the spot and seriously injured one. A pair of vicious eyes in Lajie Li's eyes were fixed on Gao Huaide. Gao Huaide happened to turn his head at this moment. Their eyes happened to meet, and Gao Huaide couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
He pulled Jie Li’s crooked mouth like a poisonous snake and spat out a string of Xi tribe’s dialect: “Go to hell!”
With two hisses, the pony was hit by an arrow and fell down. Its body swayed causing the arrow to be taken out of the head of Draga Jieli and missed. Another sound that broke through the air was aimed at Draga Jieli himself. The horse He fell, and his men also fell to the ground. He looked down and saw an arrow with a strange shape. It penetrated his vest and protruded from his chest. The blood-stained arrow could faintly be seen to have a folded character engraved on it.
"The Arrow King of the Tang Dynasty?"
He coughed up two mouthfuls of blood. At this time, several war horses approached and trampled his head to pieces in the chaos.
In the distance, Zhe Congshi sighed twice and said: "This man is really a ghost archer like no other! What a pity, what a pity! There is no chance to have a fair fight with him. But if we allow him for a moment longer, our soldiers will have to fight again." A few more innocent souls have been added.”
The Lala brothers, who were the last hope of the Khitan army, died in battle one after another, completely draining the last bit of the Liao army's will to resist. The White Horse Silver Spear Regiment attacked from left to right, disrupting the Khitan's formation. Crossbows were ambushed on the river. The soldiers and sailors simply drew their swords and came ashore. Even the cavalry archers led by Zhe Congshi no longer fired arrows from a distance and directly stepped forward to kill him in hand-to-hand combat!
Seeing that the whole army was out of control, Yelucha knew that not only would he lose in this battle, but he would also die. He drew his sword and looked up to the sky and said: "I'm sorry for the Khitan!" When he was about to commit suicide, he could not make the move and said fiercely: "Fight." Come on! Fight! Kill more Han people and bury them with you!"
"You can't kill anyone!"
But as soon as the silver shadow flashed, Gao Huaide approached on horseback and fired two shots.After overcoming Yelu Chaco's guard, he shot back and knocked off Yelu Chaco's arm. With his arms relaxed, he grabbed Yelu Chaco's hair and dragged him off his horse.
The Khitan soldiers and horses arrived again and saw the already decayed former army retreating immediately. Yang Xin, as a new force, fought out of the ambush, rushed back with the defeated troops, fought straight to the gate of Jinzhou City, and invaded the city overnight.
The Khitan defenders resisted stubbornly, but they were unable to organize an effective resistance due to the chaos among the people. Finally, out of desperation, they set a fire to store grain in the city. That night, the fire soared into the sky, and the flames shone brightly, making people hundreds of miles away. Can vaguely see!
