Yizhou battlefield.
On the eve of dawn, the Jin army quietly approached the Daling River. Ten miles away from the Daling River, they were discovered by the Liao army's secret whistle. A large fire suddenly ignited. In an instant, a second large fire ignited on the hills hundreds of steps away, and then a third large fire ignited further away. In a short time, the fires ignited one by one, and a fire dragon whistled out of the darkness and rushed straight to the banks of the Daling River.
The alarm drum roar rang into the sky, and the Liao army suddenly woke up. The Liao army outside Hongzheng City rushed into formation, while the Liao army inside the city rushed up to the city tower.
Ten miles away, the Jin army arrived in an instant.
Wanyan Loushi and Wushu led their troops to run wildly. Twenty thousand cavalry rushed across the glacier river like a flood, and rushed into the Liao army's battle formation with a powerful force of urging withering and rottenness.
The Liao army has always been highly vigilant against the Jin people. The Chengzhou War has suffered a loss and cannot repeat the same mistakes in any case. Therefore, they deployed heavy troops outside Hongzheng City to prevent the Jin people from attacking.
The Liao army had a neat battle formation and sufficient preparation. The Jin people were as powerful as tigers and were not afraid at all. The two sides immediately launched a bloody battle.
The Liao army was in charge of Hongzheng City, and the Liao army was the Grand Secretary Yelu Aguzhe. One of them was under Yelu Yujiu and the other was subordinate of King Xi Xiao Gan. Yelu Eliye was very afraid of them, fearing that they would not work hard, so they asked them to guard Hongzheng City and block the Jin army on the front line of the Daling River. Unexpectedly, this arrangement turned into a devastating disaster.
Behind the Liao army's battle formation, Tai Shinu and Aguzhe stood together.
"Do you want to sue the governor in a hurry and ask him to withdraw his troops and return to aid?" Aguzhe asked.
The Grand Tutor's slave shook his head, expressionless, and looked unpredictable and profound. "There is no need for reinforcements yet. We can stop it."
"This may be the Jin people's selection army. The purpose is to restrain us." Aguzhe said anxiously, "Wanyan Zong hopes to be fierce and cunning. If he uses a main force to siege Chuanzhou, cut off our retreat..."
Aguzhe didn't finish speaking, but the Grand Tutor's expression changed slightly, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes. "King Xi is leading his army to support him^^ Han Funu's army is also rushing to Xingzhongfu, and Chuanzhou should be very safe."
"The war has only been eight days, and they are still far from Xingzhong Prefecture." Aguzhe disagreed with the view of Taishinu, "There are only 10,000 defenders in Chuanzhou. If the Jin army sieges with the main force, it is very likely to be lost."
The Grand Master Nu pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Are we guarding Chuanzhou? Or Yizhou?"
"Of course, guard Chuanzhou." Aguzhe approached the Grand Tutor and said in a low voice, "This time the battle with Chengzhou is exactly the same. The rebel Li Hu joined forces with the Jin people again, and Yizhou is a trap. Last time we had the help of the gunner army. We escaped by luck, but this time there was no gunner army. If we were in a heavy siege, it would be inevitable that the entire army would be wiped out."
Suddenly, Aguzhe thought of the battle of Tribulus Mountain, and suddenly a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he exclaimed in a low voice, "I understand, I understand... the rebels' old tricks are repeated. We must use this as bait to lure them. Xiao Bao, who deceived Jinzhou, took the initiative to attack, Jinzhou may not be protected."
The Grand Tutor's slave was in a fog and couldn't understand. Aguzhe hurriedly explained, "The situation on the battlefield in Yizhou is like the battle of Chengzhou, where the Jin people and the thieves join forces to attack. The situation on the battlefield in Jinzhou is like the battle of Targasus Mountain. The rebels used themselves as bait and put themselves to death, and then lured Xiao Bao to attack so that they could take the opportunity to capture Jinzhou."
The Grand Tutor Nu understood. In a word, Yelu Eliye and Xiao Bao were like two fish, who took the bait and were caught by the Jurchens and the rebels, and their defeat was a foregone conclusion.
The Grand Master thought for a while and suddenly started to laugh.
Aguzhe was secretly cold, so he naturally knew why the Grand Master Nu laughed. If this battle was lost, the consequences would be serious. Not only would the rebels successfully break through to Heishan and directly threaten Nanjing Road, but it also affected the result of the Liao and Jin peace negotiations. The Jin people would take the opportunity to ask for the price. The Liao people would be humiliated. The emperor would be furious because of Longyan and would never spare Lu Oleye and Xiao Bao.
Yelu Eriye and Xiao Bao were the ministers of the palace pedestals, so the emperor would vent his anger on other ministers of the pedestals. In this way, the pedestals would make a big comeback and compete with the pedestals again.
The Grand Tutor's slave obviously planned to run away and ruined Yelu Eliye, Xiao Bao, and tens of thousands of Liao troops.
In fact, the current situation on the battlefield is still unclear, and the Liao army still has the opportunity to turn the situation around. As long as the Taishi Slave blocks the Jin people in the Daling River, and at the same time, the Yelu Eliye requests to retreat quickly and the army quickly returns to Chuanzhou, this battle will be at most a failure, which will not further deteriorate the situation in Liaodong, nor will it put the Great Liao Dynasty into a deeper crisis. However, the Taishi Slave is a subordinate of Yelu Yuji. He is a confidant of King Xi, and he is responsible for helping the main war faction control the palace tent. The main war faction takes power and takes power. Only then can he and the Taishi Slave rise and his future be bright, otherwise this will end in his life.
Yelu Aguzhe didn't want to do it too much. After all, there are still 40,000 main forces of the Liao army in Shuangshan. If the entire army is wiped out, it will be too much of a loss, "The Jin army has come, so it's better to report it to the governor in a hurry."
The Grand Tutorian shook his head firmly, "Tell us the order that the defenders in the city will withdraw immediately, build a formation ten miles away, and cover the main force of the army to retreat."
The Grand Master Slave retreated first, and soon Aguzhe also retreated.
The Wanyan Loushi Army's commander chased after him and was intercepted by the Liao army ten miles away. The Grand Tushinu and Aguzhe were able to retreat smoothly and lead the 30,000 troops to fight and leave.
When Wanyan Zongwang learned that Yizhou was an empty city, he immediately commanded the army to go around the city and kill Shuangshan. For the Jin army, the most urgent task was not to capture the city, but to wipe out the main force of the Liao army.
"The order of Lou Shi to lead 5,000 cavalry to chase the Liao army and head to Qianzhou to cover our main army to surround and kill the enemy in Shuangshan." The report said that the rebels in Shuangshan had fled without a trace. Where can the rebels escape? There was Jinzhou to block them from the south, so they could only escape into the mountains. Once the rebels escaped into the mountains, it would definitely become a disaster, because there were many people and it was more difficult to survive. Of course, they would have to cause disaster in all directions. Such a rebel would be a waste of time.
Yelu Eli wild horses immediately ordered the entire army to quickly cross the Shuangshan Mountains and follow and chase after them.
He also sent someone to report to Yizhou and transferred Yelu Aguzhe's Xi army to come quickly to help. Now he needs more horse troops to pursue.
The two of them stared at each other with an ominous premonition. They were supposed to attack the rebels from front to back, but now the rebels disappeared and ran away from the encirclement. There was a hint of strangeness in this matter, which made people shudder.
The rebels had only one escape direction. They went south to Jinzhou and chased them and might even be able to encircle and annihilate them. Of course, the premise was that Jinzhou was still in the hands of their own people.
There were only two thousand defenders in Jinzhou, and their troops were empty. Xiao Bao was afraid when he thought of this. If Jinzhou was lost and the rebels escaped into Black Mountain smoothly, he would probably not be able to save his food and food, because the rebels could directly threaten Nanjing, which was equivalent to putting the emperor in danger. Of course, the emperor would kill people in anger.
The two discussed for a while, and then rushed to find the main force of the rebels. At the same time, they joined forces and headed straight for Jinzhou. They occupied Yizhou and were quickly rushing to Shuangshan. The messenger was ordered to go to Yizhou, but when he saw the Jin army halfway, he was immediately scared and rushed back.
This time the two of them were really stupid and looked down on each other.
It was originally going to surround the rebels, but after fighting for several days, the rebels did not surround them. Instead, they made the rebels and the Jin people plot and fell into their encirclement, which was incredible. Today, the battlefield is full of weirdness, but being surrounded by opponents is too outrageous and weird.
Yelu Eliye regretted and wanted to cut himself with one knife. He made a lot of calculations, but he just missed his own people. Who would have expected that the Grand Tushinu and Aguzhe would ignore the great Liao Dynasty and do such a treacherous thing. Not only did they not call the police to them, they also fled without fighting, handed over Yizhou to the Jin people, pushing 40,000 soldiers into the abyss of death.
Yelu Eli was angry and attacked his heart. I was raised by a bitch. Today I would sacrifice my life and fight out. Even if I was killed by the emperor, I would still take you as a cushion.
"Send the army to go north quickly and rush to Yizhou."
Xiao Bao was in a hurry to return to Jinzhou, and he also sent an order, "The army quickly headed south and headed straight for Jinzhou."
At this moment of life and death, Xiao Bao gave up helping Yelu Eliye. The failure of the Eliye encirclement and suppression this time, it would definitely be a waste. If he could defend Jinzhou, he would still block the rebels under Jinzhou city, and it would be impossible to protect himself. So he ignored Yelu Eliye and quickly retreated to Jinzhou with a 50,000 army. Yelu Eliye met Wanyan Zongwang, and the Liao army and the Jin army fought to the death near Shuangshan. The Liao army was desperately trying to break through, which made Zongwang realize that Li Hu might have commanded the rebel army to block the retreat of the Liao people, otherwise the Liao people would not have to fight so hard. They could retreat to Jinzhou. Zongwang immediately ordered an attack and advance and seize Shuangshan.
In the afternoon, Xiao Bao and Dong Xiaochou met, and the two armies fought bloody battles in Quyizhou.
