Han Hai Tang Ergui

Yiluoshui, the name comes from Yishui and Luoshui. These two rivers originate in the southwest of Luoyang and flow to the northeast. They meet at Yanshi City and then merge into a river. This is Yiluoshui.

In other words, Yanshi City is actually located at the confluence of the Yiluo River, which belongs to the most typical impact plain.

Therefore, the Khitan army marched against the Yiluo River, walking all the way in the narrow river section between Mang Mountain and Song Mountain.

Only outside Yanshi City, there is a large open basin, suitable for a decisive battle with hundreds of thousands of troops.

Yelu Deguang wanted to come in, of course Zhang Zhao would not let him in, and the Khitan people's far-reaching barriers were still very good.

Under their cover, the Yiluo waterway between Songshan and Mangshan could not be ambushed at all.

Zhang Zhao then let the Khitan people in according to the original plan.

In mid-July, Yelude led an army of [-] to break through the seven water fortresses Zhang Zhao had set up on Yiluo River, and the army advanced to the southeast of Yanshi City.

The Yongliang army, which had already broken through the west city of Yanshi, had no choice but to retreat.

Yelude Guang then led a large army to station in Yanshi City, with the left and right Pishi troops as the main force, living in the city.

The right army is dominated by the Shan army under the command of Yelv Pode and the cavalry of the tribal army, with [-] Xiren infantry attached.

The left army is dominated by the surrendered generals of the Jin army, with Xiao Han and Li Shouzhen as the chief and deputy commanders.

They took Yanshi City as their camp, backed by Mount Mang, and the village at the foot of the mountain stretched for more than three li.

Zhang Zhao's Yongliang army retreated to the vicinity of Jinyong City, with the restored Jinyong City as its camp, and 7000 people from Regret Mountain Capital, Left and Right Habayashi Guards, and Hanhai Town as the central army.

With Yan Jin as the left army platoon envoy, he governed the four towns of Wuwei, Xiongwu, Yingyang, Feng'an and a part of Yanzhou Zhangwu Army, plus 4000 people recruited from Guanzhong volunteers, Yicong Xiaoqi and united archers. Twenty-one thousand.

With Bai Congxin as the envoy of the right army, he governed the three towns of Lingwu, Dingyuan, and Yucheng, as well as a small number of volunteers, Yicong, and united archers, plus the three armies of Baoyi, Fengguo, and Ningguo, totaling 20,000 people.

Zhang Zhao's [-] army, except for Yin Yaozi and Liu Zaisheng who stayed behind, and the Heyang army guarding Luoyang City, all the main forces were present.

. . . .

In Yanshi City, Yelu Deguang also began to hold a military meeting after the whole army went down to the stronghold safely.

The Liao army came from Gong County, and the resistance they encountered along the way was not very great, which allowed Yelu Deguang and the soldiers to recover a lot of morale.

The main reason for this situation is that what they encountered was only Yi Cong Xiaoqi from the Yongliang Army.

As a non-main recruiting force, Yicong Xiaoqi is still far behind the real Yongliang iron cavalry in terms of horses and weapons.

At this time, the Hexi Folded Ear Horse, which is already famous all over the world, is actually not a huge population.

Because Zhang Zhao raided the entire upper reaches of the Xindu River back then, and only got a few thousand horses, and only two thousand horses were brought back to Liangzhou.

Although after ten years of breeding, Zheer horses have been localized in Hexi, but it does not mean that every horse born can be used as a war horse.

Even if they can be used as war horses, but in order to maintain the genetic and genetic stability of the horses in the military horse farm, they cannot all be used as war horses.

At least in Shandan, Changsong and other military horse farms, a stock of at least [-] horses must be guaranteed.

Therefore, there are only about [-] high-quality folded-eared war horses in the Yongliang army, and the main force is not enough. Naturally, only a very small number of elite soldiers in Yicong Xiaoqi have folded-eared horses.

In terms of equipment, they are rarely equipped with horned crossbows, let alone divine arm bows. In addition, Yicong Xiaoqi basically does not wear armor, so it gave Yelu Deguang and all Khitan people a feeling.

That is, the Yongliang cavalry is indeed very strong, and they are the only ones they have seen that can compete with Daliao in cavalry, but they are not much higher, and the two sides are only close to each other.

Now the Great Khitan fights [-] with [-], and the supply line is even shorter. The advantage lies with me!
However, it’s not like there are people who understand. Yelu Wuzhi, who called Gao Song the commander-in-chief of the Liao Kingdom at this time, felt that Gao Song was a battle-hardened veteran and brave general, and he would not write thousands of words to Yelu Deguang inexplicably. report.

So, when everyone in the house was full of confidence and said that they were about to go out to capture Zhang Zhao alive, Yelu Yuzhi poured a basin of cold water on everyone, and then said to Yelu Deguang.

"If the Zhang thief of Yongliang was really so vulnerable, His Majesty would have killed him when he was in Datong.

If Zhang Thief was unprepared, how dare he try his best to fight for the world with my Daliao? "

"It makes sense!" Yelu Deguang nodded, and he also felt that if Zhang Zhao was so useless, then Yelu Deguang had treated him so cautiously before, wouldn't he have lowered his "compulsion" .

So, Yelu Deguang looked at Yeluwu and said with a serious smile: "Da Xiangwen knows Zhang Zhao so well, I think he must have a strategy to defeat the enemy, why don't you come and listen."

Yelu Wuzhi arched his hands and said to Yelu Deguang: "Since Zhang Thief entered the pass, I ordered people to collect information about Zhang Thief's character and preferences.

The minister discovered that Zhang Thief is indeed as cunning as a fox and as fierce as a jackal, but he is not invulnerable. He has a fatal weakness, that is, he likes to kiss others. "

"Pro-Mao Shishi?" Yelu Deguang asked hesitantly, his face became a little uncomfortable, he thought Yelu's house quality was connoting him?
Didn't Brother Guang just because he likes to kiss Mao Shishi, he ended up commanding blindly in Baituanwei Village, Yangcheng, and was beaten and defeated.

Yelu Wuzhi didn't expect so much at all, and he continued: "I found out that whether it was Zhang Thief who defeated Karakhan Uyghur Saktu Khan, the Ding Nanjun Li Yiyin, or the Gaochang Uyghur, all of them were personally risked. Yashi rushed to the front line.

Even during the battle with the Dingnan Army, in Baishuiyanchi, he was almost killed by the Dingnan Army's serial horses. "

Yelude Guangting's eyes lit up, and now he didn't care if Yelu's house quality was connoting him, because Brother Guang also remembered that Zhang Zhao really liked kissing Maoshishi.

So the Khitan emperor simply walked up to Yelu Wuzhi and asked loudly, "Will the general plan come out?"

Uh..Why does everyone know about it?
Of course, King Zhang did it himself. In order to improve his image in the hearts of the people in the Central Plains, King Zhang often let merchants praise his heroic deeds.

Among them, the highlight moment of pro-Mao Yashi fighting the enemy with his soldiers naturally needs a lot of publicity.

Therefore, after the big mouth propaganda of the businessmen, Yelu Wuzhi was able to easily sort out a clue from these deeds and discover King Zhang's weakness.

Yelu Wuzhi pondered for a moment, then clicked on the map towards the Yellow River.

"Your Majesty, please see, the key point of this battle is actually whether the main force of our army can be connected with Gao Song?
If we completely control the Heyang Bridge, we can ensure the smooth flow of the north and south of the river, and even double-team Zhang Thief's water village by the river.

Luoyang was dilapidated, and Zhang Thief's supplies were also transported from Shanzhou, Hezhong and even Guanzhong by relying on the big river.

On the contrary, if our army cannot get through the connection with Gaosong, Zhongyi City will definitely not be able to defend for a long time. When Zhang Thief gains the benefit of the big river, we may die in the land of Henan.

Thief Zhang certainly knew the key, so here, at the intersection of Mang Mountain and Dahe, thousands of elites were placed, and Yan Jin, the number one under his command, was guarded here.

If our army can attack this place together with Gao Song, but prepare [-] elites in secret, if Yan Jin is in an emergency, Thief Zhang may personally lead his army to rescue.

He thought that there were elite cavalry coming and going like the wind, and no one could stop him, but he didn't think that I had already made preparations, as long as Zhang Thief was blocked and killed before his army came to help, then the big thing would be settled!

Even if it doesn't work, I can retreat to Mang Mountain and find another opportunity. "

"Hahahaha!" Brother Guang held Yelu Wuzhi's shoulders and laughed loudly.

"Zhang thief's life is not long! All matters are carefully prepared by the general. There is no need to report to someone to know where the troops are to be transferred, just select all the best."

. . . .

At the end of July, Yelu Deguang first erected the tricolor flag on Mount Mang, and summoned the Gaosong Department according to the code word.

Then Yeluwuzhi was sent out with [-] elite cavalry, but only [-] were sent to fight and attack northwest along Mang Mountain, pretending to open up the connection with the Takamatsu Division of Zhongyu City.

In the dark, [-] elite soldiers were dispatched to stand by in Mang Mountain.

Yan Jin, guarding the left army, learned that Yeluwuzhi had left Mangshan in the west, and immediately led Wuwei and Xiongwu towns with 3000 people, [-] Yicong Xiaoqi, and [-] united archers to intercept at the northwest end of Mangshan.

Gao Song of Zhongyu City also organized dozens of large and small ships to transport [-] archers from the Yellow River to land and launch an attack
The two sides fought for two days, and Yan Jin's troops were completely besieged. Zhang Zhao sent You Yulinwei several times to attack, but failed to break the siege of Yan Jin's troops.

Seeing the critical situation, as Yeluwuzhi expected, Zhang Zhao decided to lead Li Cunhui, Zhe Deyuan, etc. first, and go to the rescue with [-] fine cavalry from You Yu Linwei and [-] heavy infantry from Regret Shandu.Then ordered Er Zhujing and Murong Yanzhao to organize [-] soldiers and horses as backup.

Of course Zhang Zhao didn't know that this was a trap, nor did he know that the Khitan people had erected dozens of towers on Mount Mang, and that a large number of sentries had been hidden by the Yishui River, constantly observing the situation in Jinyong City.

Seeing that Zhang Zhao was moving, Yelu Deguang really led his army to help, Yelu Deguang immediately ordered Li Shouzhen to dispatch [-] elite infantry from the Jin army, and Yelu Pode personally led [-] cavalry from the Shan army to encircle him.

At the same time, the Xiao Han Department of the Khitan Left Army also launched a diversionary attack on the Bai Congxin Department of the Yongliang Right Army.

. . . .

Heyang Bridge on the south bank of the Yellow River is about twenty miles away from Jinyong City.

When Zhang Zhao led the army to arrive, the self-inspector Yan Jin led 6000 people stuck between Heyang Bridge and Mangshan, and there was no danger.

Zhang Zhao immediately sensed that something was wrong, because Zhang Zhao set up three security forts along the Yellow River in order to defend the Gaosong troops in Zhongyi City, and the first fortress even had three catapults.

If he is Gao Song, the first combat goal must be to burn the three catapults, instead of using all the transport capacity to deliver the elite to Yan Jin in the last stronghold.

"My lord, it's really wrong!" Li Cunhui also leaned over and said.

"Zongbing Yan has 6000 people, and there are strongholds guarding them, and the [-] armored soldiers in Wuwei Town are our elite troops.

The Gaosong army in the Yellow River only had 3000 people, and Yeluwuzhi's 8000 elite cavalry only had 6000 people. It was absolutely impossible to completely surround Yan Zongbing's [-] people. "

"What do you think of Duojin?" Zhang Zhao turned sideways and asked Qiongre Duojin beside him.

Qiong Re Duojin raised his head and looked around, and saw that the Khitan cavalry who were blocked by Yan Jin at the foot of Mang Mountain, although they shouted and shouted, they didn't have much contact, and the fighting was not intense.

"Your Majesty, this must be a trick of the Khitan people to lure the enemy. I invite you to the rear of the palace. Your Majesty will hurry back to Jinyong City with your troops."

Zhang Zhao also trembled in his heart, it was impossible to say that he wasn't panicking at all.

But he definitely couldn't show timidity in front of the generals, so he shook his head decisively.

"Wouldn't it be ridiculed by people all over the world if someone retreats one after another before the enemy arrives?

Cun Hui'er, send messengers back to Jinyong City as soon as possible, and order Er Zhu Jing and Murong Yanzhao to set off immediately.

Let the horse kill and bring another [-] riders, so I want to see how capable these Khitan people are? "
