Chapter 11 Soldiers are more valuable than elites

An error occurred while processing s private file

Cha Ge's army attacked fiercely. Li Liangfu's 30,000 troops were almost wiped out. After all, they were all harmed by Hu Lie Mansion. Therefore, the Dangxiang people hated the army of Hu Lie Mansion very much. They finally got an opportunity. Of course, they had to fight to the death.

The shape used by Chage surrounded the Tiger Lieutenant Army. The shape used by the Tiger Lieutenant Army resisted stubbornly. Wu Xiong's Third Army and Chu Xiaoyao's Fifth Army were both elite soldiers who had experienced many battles. Although many new recruits were added after the Xijing War, the old team of these two armies was still there. With these brave soldiers, they not only blocked the fierce attack of the Xixia people, but also dragged the Xixia people.

The main force of the Mao army commanded the main force to rescue quickly. Liangshan Army, Yisheng Army and Jinglei Army also entered the battlefield. Zhang Guanyu and Ying Qin dared not stop fighting at this time. The Hu Lie Army was Li Hu's direct line. Wu Xiong and Chu Xiaoyao were both Li Hu's favorite generals. If the Third Army and the Fifth Army were wiped out, they would be in trouble.

Brother Cha threw all 70,000 troops into it. He ate his vanguard army. He won the battle.

The Mao army could command only 90,000 troops. If they wanted to repel the Xixia people, they had to ask for help from the Zhe brothers. He thought that under such circumstances, the Zhe brothers would definitely reach out to help. However, what he never expected was that the Zhe brothers ignored them.

Mao's army was angry. He summoned Zhang Guanyu, Ying Qin, Gao Yuan, Wang Yao, Geng Shouzhong and Song Jiang and other commanders together. He told them that they would fight to the death. The brave ones met when the two armies met. Even if they were beaten up, they would cherish them.

If the Song army helped at this time, Zhang Guanyu and others might not be willing to fight to the death. Now the Song army acted like they were not helping them, and immediately angered the bandits. These people were all killed from the dead. Who is afraid of whom? After the fight, I can't help but pull a group of people to continue fighting. I'm afraid of nothing.

The Hu Lie Army fought desperately and stepped on the dead body to kill. The Xixia people couldn't stand it anymore. This kind of battle could not be fought. Both sides were injured. The tens of thousands of Song troops rushed forward and were completely over. It was not good to do it and it would be another big defeat.

Cha Ge decisively ordered the withdrawal of his troops, but his order was a little late. He fought one day and lost six or seven thousand people. It was not worth the loss.

The Huliwei Army won this battle. Although the losses were huge, more than 10,000 people, the morale was raised. The soldiers were no longer afraid of war and followed the Xixia people and chased them all the way.

Cha Ge had no choice but to give up the Heqing army, and led his army to cross the Xia and Liao border, retreated into the Bowxian Desert, and quickly crossed the river to enter the Tiande Army. Heishan Weifu Army in Hebei.

You can ask for it, and you can save your brothers miscalculated it. Your face is dull.

The Mao army and the generals of the Tiger Lieutenant Army despised the Zhe brothers and the Song army very much. Many people even insulted them in person.

The battle of Dongtao was won, but the two sides parted unhappily. The Zhe brothers led their troops back to the front line of Ningbian Prefecture. Ying Qin stationed the Dongtao prefectures and guarded the Bitouzhai. Mao's army and Zhang Guanyu brought Dadong clown to join.

Dong Xiaochou said in the letter that in view of the current situation in the North, our army must accumulate heavy troops on the Yunnei battlefield to attack Xixia. Before defeating the Xia army and seizing the Tiande army, the main force of the Hulien Army could not be transferred to the Youyan battlefield to fight. He even suggested that Li Hu reconsider the northern strategy. If the Song army quickly seized Yanjing, the northern strategy of Hulien Mansion would not be changed.

In the letter, Mao Jun explained in detail the process of the Eastern Expedition War. The two-fold battle can be found, and the Zhe Kecun brothers and the Song army had complaints. He told Li Hu that it can be seen from the Eastern Expedition War. The Zhe family and the Song army were not worthy of trust. Therefore, they were full of concern for the Western Expedition. The Western Expedition required Hu Liefu and the Song army to attack from the north and south and cooperate with each other. If the Song army did not cooperate, they would even use their hands behind their backs and pull their backs. The possibility of winning the Western Expedition was almost slim. He also suggested that Li Hu give up Yanjing and instead concentrate his efforts to manage Daibei. Let's stand firm in Daibei first.

After carefully analyzing the situation in Daibei, Luo Qinghan and the central officials of Hu Lie Mansion also believed that under the current circumstances, the Hu Lie Army could not be drawn to the You Yan battlefield to fight. The implication was that Li Hu was asked to consider whether to give up the You Yan battlefield or re-plan a strategy to attack Yanjing based on the situation in You Yan battlefield.

After reading the letter, Li Hu was in a heavy mood. He looked at the picture on the desk and said nothing for a long time.

Tieying, Huang She, Yuan Ye and others took turns reading the letter and looked helpless.

"The people of Xixia probably asked Li Hu suddenly on the battlefield of Daibei.

"This..." Huang She picked up Dong Xiaohou's letter and looked at it. "Dong Shuai didn't say it. But from his tone, we have gathered about 110,000 troops in the clouds. If the number of Western Xia troops exceeds us, plus those shameless Jurchens may be playing tricks behind us. It is indeed too difficult for Dong Shuai to win this battle."

"It would be great if the Zhe family was willing to help." Yuanye shook his head regretfully. He thought the Zhe family was worthy of trust. Unexpectedly, the battle between Dongtao made him completely distorted his impression of the Zhe family.

"The Zhe family has survived in this world for more than 400 years. Why? With their military achievements? With their power in the northwest? It's a joke." Huang She sneered. "A family of generals has survived repeatedly in the replacement of dynasties and is becoming more and more prominent. Why? Isn't their way of survival worth us to carefully consider and reminisce?"

"The value of more than 10,000 people died." Tieying sneered. "We have seen the Zhe family clearly with more than 10,000 lives. In the future, we will not be wiped out by the entire army of the Zhe family."

"But we do need the help of the Zhe family now." Yuanye hesitated for a moment and said to Li Hu. "General General. In my opinion, you should write a letter to the Zhe family and ask them to support the Yunnei battlefield."

"Forget it. It's useless." Huang She shook his hand. "The purpose of the Hedong Army's dispatch of troops this time is only to cooperate in combat on the west bank of the Yellow River. Even if the Zhe family is willing to help, please ask, Zhe Kecun has no right to bring the army to the Yunnei battlefield."

Yuanye insisted that he could give it a try. Last time, Zhe Keqiu had more than 20,000 Zhe's army pretended to be a village soldier and joined the war in Xijing. This time, Zhe Keqiu might be able to come up with a solution.

"We are not strong enough. Just begging others will only make people look down upon and despise them." Li Hu thought for a long time and rejected Yuanye's suggestion. "Tell Dong Shuai, Mao Shuai and Datong's Luo Shuai. Please concentrate on managing the affairs of Daibei and Youyan. I will solve it. Tell them not to worry."

You will solve it? Huang She, Tieying and Yuanye looked at Li Hu at the same time.

"What are the tricks of the general general?" Huang She entered Yanjing with all her heart. She was most concerned about this matter.

"Tomorrow, after Yunshuai and Guishuai come to meet, we will start attacking. We will first defeat Khanzhou and Ruzhou." Li Hu smiled. "Then, we will attack Juyongguan, Yanjing, and fight all the way to Pingzhou Road."

"Just our army?" Huang She asked in surprise.

"Soldiers are more important than their essence, not more." Li Hu said. "So many troops are enough to enter Yanjing."

Thirty-five thousand troops fought a city, and there were only a few hundred township soldiers in this city. The result was imagined. The army set the formation and beat the war drum. On September 16th, the city hit Ruzhou again and went down.

On September 17th, the army began to attack Juyongguan.

The Juyong Pass general Yelu Aguzhe was killed by the rebels in the Battle of Targlutinous Mountain and ran away with his head and hated the rebels to the core. This time he finally got a chance to take revenge. He commanded the defenders in the pass to block the enemy's desperate attempt and asked Yanjing for help.

There are no soldiers in Yanjing to send, because the Song army has arrived.

Bian Jing refused the Liao Kingdom's proposal to pay tribute to the people. The emperor ordered Tong Guan to attack with all his might and conquered Yanjing. Tong Guan ordered the commander Liu Yanqing to lead the army to attack.

The commander Liu Yanqing was delaying in Zhuozhou for two days, and then led his army to set off. Just in case, he left 50,000 people in Zhuozhou and led 150,000 people to attack Yanjing. He walked thirty miles, stopped, set up camp and walked for three consecutive days before he arrived in Liangxiang.

Yelu Dashi dared not fight. He led his army to retreat. Liu Yanqing did not dare to enter again. He stopped in Liangxiang.

Liangxiang is sixty miles away from Yanjing. It is so close. The Song army delayed. The commander of Yang Keshi, Wangdu came to ask. Liu Yanqing's qualifications are incomparable to the Master Zhong. He could not control his subordinates. So he took out Tong Guan's letter. "This is not what I mean. This is the order of the Master."

What was the reason for stopping the advance? Liu Yanqing had a plan in his mind, but he dared not say that the emperor of Bian Jing intended to let Prince Yun Zhao Kai go to the front line to command the army and take the credit for the recovery of Youyan. However, the family law of the Song Dynasty stipulated that the royal family did not command the army. Therefore, the emperor encountered great resistance. Prince Yun could not make a move. If Prince Yun was captured before Prince Yun arrived, Yanjing would be captured. Who would be the credit? So Tong Guan had to order the attack to be temporarily suspended.

Yang Keshi, Wang, Zhong Shizhong and others had actually known the secret here for a long time. A group of Northwest generals united and forced Liu Yanqing every day. He was so worried that he was not a human being.

On that day, Guo Yaoshi saw everyone's argument in the tent of the tent, so he offered a plan. Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi's army set up formations outside the south city. If he had his own cavalry to go around the west city and sneak attack the city, Yanjing would definitely be at his fingertips.

Liu Yanqing agreed. This is a good idea. The sneak attack strategy requires timely support from the subsequent army. If there is no support, the sneak attackers will definitely be wiped out. Since you want to die, I will fulfill your wish.

Liu Yanqing immediately ordered that Guo Yaoshi 1,000 soldiers of the ever-victorious army be the leader. Yang Keshi and Gao Shixuan led 6,000 Song soldiers as support. Liu Guangshi led 50,000 troops and then rushed forward.

That night, the Song army crossed the Lugou River and arrived at Sanjiadian (now Mentougou District, Beijing). The next morning, Guo Yaoshi sent his subordinate Zhen Wuchen to mix with people among the people and seized Yingchun Gate. Guo Yaoshi immediately rushed into the city with his men. Yang Keshi then arrived and soon took the seven gates of the outer city of Yanjing.

The Liao army in the city was caught off guard and retreated into the inner city to defend. Empress Dowager Xiao refused to surrender. The outer city began to burn, kill and plunder the enemy. The Han people in Yanjing were basically the same as the foreigners. The Song army was happy to kill and chopped them as they saw others. As a result, it angered the Han people. So the Han and Fan people in the city resisted together and fought fiercely with the Song army. The Liao army in the inner city took the opportunity to fight out. The two sides launched a bloody street battle.

Xiao Gan led 10,000 horse troops back to the rescue and attacked wildly in the city.

The Song army persisted for three days and three nights, but they never saw Liu Guangshi's 50,000 reinforcements. In the end, they finally retreated in panic. At this moment, they were all going back to the Liao army to support him. Guo Yaoshi, Yang Keshi and others had no choice but to flee from the city wall. Only more than 400 people escaped with seven thousand men and horses. Gao Shixuan and more than 6,000 soldiers were all killed.
