Chapter 58

Gao Bolong handed the military report to Han Ningshuang, "The Jin soldiers seized Chenzhou, and the rear was worry-free. The army will soon go south to Liaoyang." He patted his thighs and stood up and said, "It's going to fight a big battle." In the past two days, the morale of the Jin soldiers outside Liaoyang City has been much higher. Wanyan Zongbi and other Jin soldiers took turns to challenge outside the city gate. The city walls of Liaoyang have been smashed with uneven pits. A few days ago, the Jin soldiers drove the Zai army to attack the city desperately. More than a dozen large and small Tibetan soldiers were dug out at the south and east walls that were focused on attacking, and the arrows at the top of the city could no longer be shot inside. With the assistance of the Han army artillery, the Jurchen army began to attack the city gate fiercely, and almost captured the city gate several times.

"Yelu Dashi was waiting for Huanglong Mansion and Chenzhou fell, which was incredible," Xu Detai said. "Yelu Dilie was originally Yelu Dashi's old general. More than 20,000 Liao troops defended the city to death. After the city fell, Wanyan Cibushi originally planned to massacre the city, but the Jin soldiers entered the city and found that there were almost no living people in the city." He sighed, "Although Yelu Dilie is a Khitan dog, he died heroically." Chenzhou sent Yelu Dilie's head overnight, and was raised high on the wooden pole, with his eyes wide open, looking at the head of Liaoyang.

"Marson," Gao Bolong said in a deep voice, "we must be wary of the Golden Man's breach of breaking the bridge across the river."

"General Gao's words are reasonable," Han Ningshuang nodded, and said again: "General Uyaren is coming to carry food and grass. His Majesty Aguda also recognized our alliance, and he was polite and slanted. Zong Bi and others should not act rashly." Xu Detai and Gao Bolong exchanged glances. If Wanyan Uyaren and others were Han Ningshuang's adoptive mother, Aguda's brothers were only this sister, who was as brave as a man and had a great status in the tribe. If she was as a guarantee, the Jin army's actions should be restrained.

Although Han Ningshuang was quite confident, Zhao Xingde still said: "The Jin army gathered more than 100,000 to move south. Our army is weak, so we should leave a way out in advance to avoid being hasty and unable to deal with it." The memory of the Jin Kingdom in my mind was too deep. Although I agreed to send troops to Liaoyang, Zhao Xingde still did not look down on the Han Jin alliance, and always used the Jin army to attack the Han army to plan the way to respond. At this time, the plan was extremely detailed.

He spread out the marching map and said in a deep voice: "Whether the Liao army or the Jin soldiers are mostly cavalry, and our army is mostly infantry, it is difficult to escape the pursuit on the plain. From 600 miles from Liaoyang to Suzhou, our army can fight and move forward, first retreat into Jicui Mountain more than 100 miles away from Liaoyang, and follow the mountain to the south, and retreat back to Suzhou." Zhao Xingde pointed to several marks along the way, "In these places, the marshal can order General Wang to set up ambush in advance to intercept the enemy cavalry in depth."

Zhao Xingde also suggested that the inconvenient baggage, including artillery, be prepared to blow up, and the remaining horses were used for the soldiers, and even gradually replaced the Han army under Liaoyang City with cavalry. In addition, if the Jin soldiers comply with the promise, the Han people would immediately distribute it to Suzhou and Kaizhou to avoid causing any drag on the actions of the Han army. Although the Han generals had considered breaking through and retreating, they had never been as serious as Zhao Xingde. On the marching route of Jicui Mountain, where is suitable for camping and camping, and how much grain is buried in advance, there is a calculation. Where is suitable for setting up an ambush to respond, and it is also marked.

Han Ningshuang hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Since General Zhao has made careful plans, he will do this." In the Han Army General's Mansion, the marching plan is usually formulated by Wang Xuansu. Although Han Ningshuang is familiar with military books and has been on the battlefield for a long time, she is still not as good as the specific arrangements. To a certain extent, Zhao Xingde secretly replaced Wang Xuansu's position. Han Ningshuang's reliance attitude was natural, but she seemed to obey Zhao Xingde's words. Xu Detai and Gao Bolong both found a strange color in each other's eyes.

The two of them were tacitly understood, and Han Ningshuang asked without any notice, "You all think what will happen next between the battle between Liao and Jin?"

Xu Detai thought for a moment and said slowly: "Yelu Tiege is a famous general. He led more than 100,000 troops to help. There are two ways to go. One is to send troops from Zhongjing Dading Prefecture, Xianzhou, Jinzhou, and support Liaoyang. This is the right way. The other is to send troops from Shangjing and attack the Jin soldiers along the Huanghe River. This is a strange thing."

Zhao Xingde drew two strokes on the map with his fingers, showing that the Liao army was fighting and plagiarizing the whole way, surrounding the main force of the Jin army between Liao and Shenyang.

"However, Zhucheng, Chenzhou, Yinzhou, Anzhou and Ganzhou along the Huanghe River have all been seized by the Jin Kingdom. The Liao army, which plagiarized the Jin army's rear route, was also a brigade of lonely troops. If it was not done well, it would not be possible to steal chickens and lose rice." Gao Bolong said in a deep voice, "The army must not be free from supplies, food and grass when going to fight. The remaining cities and villages in this area are controlled by the Jin army. The battlefield has been war-torn for a long time, and the creatures are traumatized, and nine out of ten houses are empty, so it is difficult for the Liao army cavalry to break grass valley. If there are too many soldiers and horses behind the Jin army, there is nowhere to solve the baggage, food and grass. There are too few soldiers and horses, and they can only harass and do not care about the big use. Therefore, the key to victory or defeat should be under the city of Liaoyang, right?"

Zhao Xingde frowned and pondered: "This matter is a bit strange. Yelu Dashi is brave and good at fighting, and is the master of a hero. The Liao army is also good at cavalry fighting in the field. Logically speaking, attack instead of defense is the director of the Liao army's cavalry. However, the Jin Dynasty pressed forward step by step, and the Liao Kingdom did not fight back, and even fell to the point of being trapped in the lonely city and defeated by the Jin soldiers...." But he didn't understand what was wrong.

After coming out of the central army's tent, Zhao Xingde was still a little worried. The sound of cannons was roaring, and the shouts of killing soldiers from the Virgo attacked the city were shaken by the earth.

The Han soldiers on the road were excited and smiling. No wonder, the Han army has always regarded the Liao Kingdom as an enemy, and after the incident of killing slaves, the two sides had no room for compromise. Han Ningshuang and the Han generals would not make it public in the intrigue between the Han army and the upper class of the Jin Kingdom. After being stationed outside Liaoyang City for a long time, most of the soldiers fighting side by side would have the illusion of the same hatred of the enemy. Seeing the Jin soldiers winning step by step in Liaodong, Yelu Dilie, the culprit of the killing of the Han people in Chenzhou, was hanging outside, and ordinary Han soldiers were all happy.

A burst of cheers came from near the Xia State Camp. Zhao Xingde walked closer and saw that it was Jian Cheng's soldiers who were competing with the Jin soldiers. There were many sign troops watching the fun. There were ropes hanging from a distance. The cavalry of Xia State was riding extremely fast. The soldiers held an arc-shaped horizontal sword and charged from a distance. The sword light drew an arc and cut off the sheep's head with horsepower. The rope was hanging on the headless sheep's body, and the blood was still gushing. The second cavalry following him again, removing the sheep's hind legs, and the third cavalry took off one hind legs. In this way, the five cavalry rushed through the gate where the sheep was hanging was almost indestructible. The sheep had only a headless and legless body hanging there. There was a pool of blood flowing under the gate, and the sheep's head rolling to the ground was still open and closed.

At this time, the Caisheng became much smaller, and many Hanzhanjun's eyes showed fear. The faces of the Jin cavalry were also ugly. The Qianfu leader Wanyan Cheli was born with big and thick hair, with only thick hair left on his forehead, and the remaining hair was tied into a braid behind his ears. There was a centipede-like scar on Cheli's face, which made his face look particularly ferocious, and ordinary Chali didn't dare to look at it again. Cheli was extremely proud because this was the first time he attacked the Khitan army when he followed His Majesty in Ningjiang Prefecture. His Majesty cut his cheek and inspired morale. The Jurchen warriors under him cut their cheeks with sharp blades, and everyone stayed when they vowed to defeat the Liao army.

Among the commanders of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Cheli was known for his bravery, but he was not sure of riding the horse and cutting the hanging sheep so quickly. He often cut a deep knife, and it was difficult to break it cleanly and neatly like the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom. Because the living sheep hanging on the rope was weak and unforced, this knife seemed easy and neat, but it was actually extremely difficult. To cut it with one knife, the cavalry's eyes, horsepower, arm strength, and wrist strength required the cavalry's eyesight, horsepower, arm strength, and wrist strength to match just right. What's more, the five cavalry rushed through the gate almost with their feet. The current cavalry cut the hanging sheep with a saber, leaving only a moment of gap for the cavalry behind. The reason why the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom can do this without any trouble is that it has been inseparable from the years of training since childhood.

"Bah!" A Jurchen cavalry said unconvincedly, "Even if he cuts a person's neck half, he will die." Wanyan Cheli's eyes shrank slightly, and he resisted and scolded him. As long as he could cut off with one knife, the power of the galloping horse could be used, and he could cut dozens of people without mercy. If he could not cut it, he would suffer the remaining impact force and his wrists would soon be so sore that he could not hold the knife. What the Xia cavalry showed was useless martial arts. Like Wanyan Cheli, the faces of several Jurchen warriors who had been through many battles were covered with a layer of dark clouds, and they felt secretly afraid.

"Okay!" After the cavalry centurion Jian Cheng took the lead and cheered loudly, he rode his horse around the gate twice, bent his bow and arrow, turned around on the horse's back with his left hand and shot an arrow, and shot the hanging sheep. He changed his right hand and shot the second arrow, and still shot the hanging sheep. The third arrow was amazing, and he actually passed through the knot of the hanging sheep. The rope was shot and the hanging sheep fell down with a bang. Before he hit the ground, Jian Cheng had already rushed over, reached out and grabbed the lamb, and grabbed the lamb in his hand, laughing and running around the gate again.

Zhao Xingde also smiled and clapped hard with his hands. He felt ashamed of the riding and shooting skills that were left and right. Marine skills were the way for soldiers to intimidate the barbarians. The sunshine in March shone on the pool of blood on the ground, reflecting a magnificent and strange light. At this moment, his thoughts seemed to have become much easier. When the soldiers saw the captain coming, they cheered louder.

Xu Detai looked at the crowd of people excited. In the distance, it seemed that a white cloud was floating over, stopping on Zhao Xingde's head, transforming into a dragon and tiger shape. "What are you looking at?" Gao Bolong slapped on the shoulder, scaring Xu Detai trembled all over, turned around and glared at him, muttering: "I'm scared to death!" He responded casually, muttering in his heart: "Yun Conglong, Feng Conghu. No wonder the eldest lady favored him. Is Zhao a true emperor not successful?" He secretly changed Zhao Xingde's name from "Mr. Zhao" to "Junior Zhao". While leaving Gao Bolong, he turned around and looked at the clouds above Zhao Xingde's head. At this time, there was no wind, and the clouds actually stopped on Zhao Xingde's head and stopped.
