Chapter 467: A very short gust of wind (Part 2)
This heavy cavalry only appeared twice, once under Dingzhou City, south of Tang Henan, once under Yingzhou City, and above Hunyuan River.
In order to crack this heavy cavalry, the Liao Kingdom was also thinking of a way. First, learn the Song army to cut down the horse legs. What did it become? Should the Liao army learn infantry tactics? Another type is to place horse-rejecting and tripping ropes. However, the disadvantage of this heavy cavalry is that it is slow. Therefore, the Song Dynasty used it to fight on the front battlefield, not for chasing. How to set up a horse-rejecting rope? Should we put a horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-
Although there were only five hundred cavalry, Xiao Shunu was cowardly.
Retreat immediately.
Retreat to Jintaitun and send someone to inform Yelu Xuegu that the enemy has the Jingzhai army and we cannot win. Master Xuegu, please think of a way to break the Jingzhai army for me.
Yelu Xuegu was a very capable person in the Liao Kingdom, who was both literary and military.
After the battle of Gaoliang River, Yelu Xuegu transferred to the mountain and managed the mountain with good weather. Although Pan Mei also launched several shallow attacks, with more victory than defeat, Pan Mei never dared to go deeper when facing Yelu Xuegu.
Later, I got old and often got sick, so I retreated.
But he is not a god.
Yelu Xiuge and Yelu Xizhen cannot break it, either. Moreover, no matter how smart he is, he must have resources. Originally, Youzhou had some troops to support the mountain behind, Yelu Xiuge brought another unit to Liaodong. How many troops can he have left?
He thought for a long time and there were two ways. One was to surround Wei and save Zhao Zhishou, and let Xiao Shunu lead his army south and force the Song army to return to rescue him. However, after thinking about Xiao Shunu's ability, the strength of his hands, and the actual situation in Hebei was to continue to station a huge army. This little bit of troops may not be able to threaten, and maybe it was a snack. This method is not advisable.
There is another strategy, that is, the defense of eliminating accumulation.
So he asked Xiao Shunu to lead his troops back to Xincheng, ready for battle, and at the same time called on the people in the city to form a brave man and assist the Liao Kingdom in defending Youzhou. He was also worried. If the Song army suddenly became interested in Youzhou while fighting, it would be a bit difficult to deal with.
It was still very dark outside.
However, it was five o'clock as early as the time was.
It’s just that in the severe winter, the sun is short, and even then the sky has not yet started.
Yelu Xuegu listened to the howling outside Li Feng and his wife had already woken up in bed.
My wife said, "Official, why are you a little worried?"
"What are you worried about?"
"I've been frightened these days."
"That's your suspicion."
"Oh, it would have been great if the Queen Mother had agreed to the peace agreement."
Yelu Xueqiu did not make any sound.
The more unfavorable the reality is, more and more people regret the fact that Xiao Yanyan opposed it.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty wanted to discuss peace, but he could not take it seriously.
But if the Empress Dowager seized that opportunity to agree, the ball would be kicked back to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. At least the Song people could not shout about the country and the king and the ministers as if they were killed. Then, with this opportunity, they would clean up the mess in Liaodong, and there would be no crisis today.
In fact, the Liao Kingdom is passive now, not because the Song army is so powerful, mainly two reinforcements, one is the Qiang and Fan soldiers in the northwest, and the other is the Jurchen soldiers. The two units combined to reach more than 100,000 troops. What is fatal is the more than 100,000 troops with the most powerful individual combat power. Once these two teams are eliminated, can the Liao Kingdom still have a crisis?
Suddenly he thought of another person, Dangxiang, Li Jiqian.
The opportunity was not taken well at that time. If he had supported him in time, Li Jiqian would have turned upside down the four prefectures of the Western Xia Dynasty in the Song Dynasty, which would have been equivalent to blocking the Shengzhou and the foreigners. Then the Song people would not have such a strong appeal. How many troops would be different between positive and negative?
No wonder the prime minister of the Southern people used more than 100,000 troops to suppress it.
It should have been the end of the group of Jurchens.
The truth is this, but when he thought about it carefully, he could find this opportunity.
In fact, there was this opportunity, but Yelu Xuegu didn't dare to think that if Xiao Yanyan was not so angry at the beginning, with the help of the Battle of Qigou Pass, when the Song Dynasty was frightened, she would not use troops to fight against the southerners, but to fight against Liaodong. At that time, the morale was also strong, and she could destroy Liaodong in one fell swoop.
Moreover, Yelu Xuegu still did not realize the difficulty of similar events.
For example, in another time and space, the Qing Dynasty almost used its troops to fight in Jinchuan, western Sichuan. Some people said it was not worth it. Let’s look at Li Jiqian of the Song Dynasty and Li Zicheng of the Ming Dynasty.
The Liao Kingdom did not use troops, but it was not aware of its difficulty. After using it, the two famous generals took action one after another. However, because they despised the Jurchens, they brought few troops and few materials supported by the state. In addition, Wu Xuanming received a lot of help from the Song Dynasty, so they were not wiped out.
Moreover, the Liao Kingdom had not realized something, and Xiao Yanyan also began to implement Qimin, but it was mainly Khitans, Xi people and Han people, as well as mature Jurchens in southern Liaodong, and those Jurchens in deep Liaodong. Xiao Yanyan saw them like Zhao Kuangyi who looked at the barbaric and cruel barbarian leaders on Kuixia Road, and did not benefit them, so she did not introduce good policies. This gave Wu Xuanming a soil for survival.
But soon Yelu Xuegu had no time to reflect...
His wife said again: "Official, you hear that there seems to be a killing sound outside."
"You are suspicious again," said Yelu Xuegu.
Although the Song Dynasty had troops in Yizhou, they were still far away from Youzhou.
"It's really there."
This time, Yelu Xuegu finally heard something vaguely. He didn't know what was going on, but he didn't expect the Song army to come over. He thought someone was rebelling in the city and hurriedly got up.
Some subordinates have already reported: "No, the Song army has entered the city."
"How did you kill in?" Yelu Xuegu said in a daze.
"I don't know."
"Walk!"
The cold wind outside was roaring, it was just bright, and it was snowing heavily, and there was almost no sight on the opposite side.
Yelu Xuegu rode a horse to the south city gate. When he approached the city gate, the two armies were fighting bloody battles, and his subordinates stopped the Song army tightly.
It was dawn again, and someone saw him and cheered: "Let's stay here."
With the arrival of Yelu Xuegu, the morale became stronger and forced the Song army back dozens of steps. However, more Song troops on the top of the city flipped up, and someone finally killed the Liao soldiers on the city tower and ran away. With a "squeak", the city gate opened.
Teams of Song troops rushed in from outside, leading a fierce man, waving a big knife in his hand, and no one could stop him from a round wherever he passed.
With the help of the wind, Yelu Xuegu faintly heard him killing people while shouting: "Who dares to block the way of the uncle Jing Si?"
Jing Si...
Yelu Xuegu couldn't help but fight a cold war. But he hadn't figured out where this Song army emerged.
Jing Si also saw them and rushed towards Yelu Xuegu.
No matter what big man he was, his sword flew over and was even more dazzling than snowflakes. He quickly opened a bloody road and came to Yelu Xuegu. Yelu Xuegu was an old man who was about to fall into the ground. He was not even able to block it for a while, so he let Jingsi slash under the knife.
The picture is revealed.
The battle range from west to east was almost ten thousand miles. It cannot be said to be false, half true and half false. But the ultimate goal was Youzhou City, which the Liao Kingdom had never expected.
崔彦进去了霸州后,看到辽国于拒马河北广置栅栏,防止宋军用溜冰鞋子迅速滑行到幽州东南进行破坏,又看到李继隆大捷,耶律休哥并非不可战胜的,于是提出一个设想.北方冬天十分严寒,包括近海海面也会结冰,那么不用从拒马河上行走,而是用海船将兵士载入幽州东南近海.挑选一个恶劣的天气,利用东南多湖泊人烟稀少的地形,于暮色时滑行下去,再滑入桑干河.这时候估计会接近二更时分,虽然河两岸人烟稠密起来,相信那时在个严冬大多数进入梦乡.然后从桑干河滑到高梁河下,略有些远,两百多里地,但相信抵达幽州城下天也不过拂晓时分.那就能奇袭幽州.
Song Jiu agreed.
But it is definitely not as simple as Cui Yanjin thought.
Therefore, it took several years of planning to start a step-by-step half-true and half-false action, resulting in the empty force of the troops in Youzhou City, and even many heavy generals were transferred to Liaodong or the mountain behind.
Jing Si has been training 20,000 powerful soldiers in Cangzhou.
Sun Quanzhao sent troops to the Liaodong Peninsula. Because of captive materials, he transferred many large ships later. So he took this opportunity to conceal the situation and transferred 20,000 soldiers under Jing Si to the ship together. When it was dark yesterday evening, the soldiers were disembarked.
There was a slight error. I was originally planning to reach Youzhou City at the fourth update, but in fact, I arrived at Youzhou City at the fifth update.
但好在天气挑选得当,下半夜一把暴风雨来临,即便天色拂晓,也给了宋军强大的隐护.当辽国轮值兵士发现时,已经有大批宋军翻上幽州城墙.兵力少了,阻挡力度不大.耶律学古到来时,城门让宋军控制起来.要命的漫天风雪中,其他地方守兵有的还没有察觉,察觉的也未及时赶到.荆嗣斩杀了耶律学古之后,两万多宋军一起扑入幽州城中!
The battle continues in the city.
Zhang Qixian, Yuan Jizhong, Hu Yanzan, Tian Min and others rushed to Xincheng with their troops.
Yang Yanzhao and Wei Neng suddenly formed a group of troops and turned their hair to Qigou Pass and Zhuozhou. In fact, the so-called attack on Yizhou is also an illusion. Yizhou needs to be fought, and Zijingling also needs to occupy it, but it is not now. This is used to confuse the Liao army and make them think that behind the mountain is the center of gravity.
It was noon and the heavy snow stopped.
The sky is still filled with clouds, the sun is gone, but the weather is even colder.
There were people who continued to resist in Youzhou City, but most people saw that something was wrong and hid at home and did not dare to come out.
In the evening, there were finally no people who were resisting in the city.
"Plant the flag!" Jing Si shouted excitedly.
It's so obvious. Since the Battle of Gaoliang River, the Song Dynasty has thought about this city almost during the day, but in dreams, but never expected to be occupied by itself.
