Dawn of the Empire

Chapter 318 Returning to Xianyang with full rank (3)

"The fourth prince is gone," Han Kuang said with a calm expression, as if he suddenly remembered, "By the way, the fourth prince, don't forget to remind Wanyan Xieye, because Wu Qimai has a lot of powerful followers. After Wanyan Xie also inherits the throne, the army must be stationed for a period of time. After cleaning up the unreliable Meng'an Mouke, the army can return to the north. Otherwise, although Da Bo Jilie has only 10,000 to [-] troops, he can With his foundation and accumulated prestige, as soon as the Southern Expedition Army approaches Huanglong Mansion, the [-]+ army will become elbows and armpits, and the enemy's country will be exhausted, and the situation will be reversed in an instant, and everything he does will be for others. "

Han Kuang said these few words seemingly casually, but it was the purpose of his painstaking planning, to keep the army of the Kingdom of Jin.

Wanyan Zongbi was slightly taken aback, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said: "Mr. Han is right."

There was an atmosphere of panic in the camp of the Kingdom of Jin, and the soldiers on duty at night did not have the nature of chatting like they used to. They all looked like they were facing an enemy. The horses seemed to sense the emotions of their masters, shaking their heads uneasily and snorting .A Jurchen scout came out of the camp with a license plate, carefully looked around for no one, and just now made a big circle and came to a certain forest three miles away.This night the moonlight is dim, and the tall thatched grass and the gently shaking tree shadows make it difficult for people to see the situation in the woods clearly.The scout came out shortly after entering, and then made a big circle and returned to the camp of the Kingdom of Jin.

About an hour later, a group of scouts from the Liao Dynasty passed through the woods. The officer leading the team seemed to want to relieve himself, so he led the horse into the woods, and then returned. The team quickly returned to the Liao army camp. The guard on duty who led the army begged to see His Majesty in person, and presented a secret report from the "King of Jin".

Yelu Dashi is convening his confidants to discuss countermeasures.Over the past few years, the Liao Kingdom has regained its momentum. This war has been planned for a long time, and various arrangements have been made to lure the main force of the Jin army to go south and go deep.After the decisive battle between the main forces of the clinker and clinker countries, they were still defeated by the Jin army and lost dozens of camps.There was an atmosphere of failure in the Liao army camp.Yelu Dashi had to re-examine his opponent.But Yelu Tiege, Yelu Yanshan and other important ministers and veterans kept pleading guilty.

"It is my responsibility to predict that the enemy is not clear, what crime are you waiting for?" Although Yelu Dashi was in a bad mood, he did not have the habit of entrusting others. He looked at the ashamed generals and said slowly, "Our family has established a country for a hundred years, and the upper and lower levels have indulged in leisure and entertainment, and the military equipment has been disused for a long time. The Jurchen bandits live in the bitter cold land, shoot and hunt in four seasons for a living, and they are constantly attacking each other, so the soldiers work hard and enjoy fighting. This In the past few years, although I and everyone have tried their best, we have only improved the country's situation, but we have not done enough." At this point, Yelu Dashi's expression turned resolute, and he said in a deep voice : "Today's battle is a warning to me and everyone."

What he said was painful, and the faces of the important officials in the imperial tent were full of embarrassment, and Yelu Tiege said in a deep voice: "It's all the ministers who are not doing their job well, and the training is not good. Please allow the end of the day to take the blame and go out tomorrow, leading five thousand cavalry Going to the battle, I'm so heartbroken, I want to let the Jurchen thieves know how powerful the Khitan people are!" Yelu Yanshan also said: "I also want to go to the battle!" After the two of them spoke, Yelu Bijie, Xiao Yixue, Urgon Mierbo, Guo Baoyi and other generals called for battle one after another.

Seeing that the generals dared to fight, Yelu Dashi did not recover from a setback, so he felt relieved.At this time, the centurion on duty outside the imperial tent reported that there was an urgent military secret report.All the generals calmed down, watching His Majesty take out a small roll of paper from the reed tube, glanced at it quietly, his eyes suddenly froze, and his breathing became rapid.His Majesty's palace is extremely deep, and his emotions and anger have always been invisible. Such a gaffe is not common.

"What's going on?" "Are the gold thieves going to attack again?" The generals didn't dare to speak, and all of them looked stern.They only held their breath and exchanged glances with each other. The imperial tent was so quiet that it seemed as if a needle could be heard falling.

After a while, Yelu Dashi gently folded the scroll.He raised his head while sandwiching the secret report into the imperial dossier.I saw that his face was full of red, his eyes were full of smiles, he was completely overjoyed, and he said with great joy: "Your lords urge the soldiers to fight the enemy with all their strength, our cannons must be used, and the bandit chieftain Wanyan Aguda will come to fight in person During the battle, he was seriously injured by a cannon during the day, and died of his injuries at night."

"Ah——" "It's so!" There was a sound of exclamation in the imperial tent, and the generals looked at each other with unbelievable expressions of surprise.The two lines of defense of the Liao army were breached, which had a lot to do with the Jin Guo Artillery Battalion.Unexpectedly, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin was also killed by the artillery of the Liao army.Compared with the courage of the general, losing two lines of defense is nothing?This battle during the day can be regarded as a mixed victory, or even a big victory.

"God bless Khitan!" "Your Majesty is mighty!" "Your Majesty is victorious!" All the generals in the tent shouted in confusion.

"How can I be greedy for the achievements of the heavens?" Yelu Dashi waved his hand again, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "It's all thanks to everyone, the troops fought hard with their lives, today's battle is extremely difficult, and they finally made a miracle and killed them in one fell swoop. Jurchen bandit chieftain Wanyan Aguda, this is the first great victory since the army marched to the north! Pass on my will and reward all the troops!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty Wansheng!"

"Khitan wins!"

"Great Liao wins!"

After a while, cheers rang out from around the imperial tent, and more and more Khitan soldiers heard the news that Wanyan Aguda had been shot dead. The tattooed tribal marks, some howled loudly at the moon like a pack of wolves, some danced and sang excitedly to celebrate, and some wished they could get on their horses and flatten the camp of the Jin army immediately.In today's battle, under the attack of 10,000+ golden soldiers, the Liao army struggled to support it.In the end, although the third camp was defended, the morale of the army was very low.But suddenly, the big defeat turned into a big victory, and the entire Liao army camp went crazy with excitement.

The Jin army has won consecutive battles since the rise of troops in Ningjiang Prefecture. It has accumulated a great momentum. Everyone dares to fight and will never say defeat.The Liao soldiers regarded the Northern Expedition of Jurchen as a fearful way to die.Yelu Dashi was under the influence of Yujia's personal conquest, and the armored soldiers of the Liao army were better than those of the Jin Dynasty, which could not change the subtle psychological disadvantage.There were several fierce battles during the day, and the strength of the Liao army and the Jin soldiers were not much different, but the Liao army was always unable to hold back at critical moments, and that was why.Now that the army's morale has been greatly boosted, all the troops have the belief that they will win, even if they fight against the Jin army again, they will not be easily defeated.

Yelu Dashi looked at the generals in the tent with a smile, everyone heard the movement outside, he nodded with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Although the bandit chieftain was killed, the Jurchen bandits have always been brave, and now they are even more trapped. He intends to retaliate against Master Wang. You must not take it lightly. In the days to come, all armies must guard their camps, and do not go to battle without a military order, so as not to fall into the enemy's tricks. "Private Envoy of the North Court"

Brother Yelu Tie shouted: "The end is here!"

Yelu Dashi's eyes fell on him, and he asked: "The Khitan males who are enlisted in the Shangjing Road and Zhongjing Road are recruited, how many reinforcements can they have besides the necessary soldiers to defend the land?"

Brother Yelu Tie groaned slightly, and replied: "It is still possible to send another 15 reinforcements!" He understands that in the current situation, His Majesty is preparing the lion to fight the rabbit, and he will use all his strength, pour all his strength into one battle, It is necessary to keep the main force of the 10,000+ Jin Kingdom in Liaoyang.With this number of reinforcements, all the Khitan men from Shangjing Road and Zhongjing Road who were registered as soldiers had been conscripted.If Song and Xia raided Xijing Road and Nanjing Road, Liao would not be able to send reinforcements.

Yelu Dashi looked at him with satisfaction, nodded and said: "Do your best, send [-] reinforcements to Shenzhou as soon as possible, and hand them over to Xiao Chala, commander of the camp in the northeast. If the Jurchen bandits are released, I will only ask him .Also, find Xiao Tachi, let him return to the army quickly, and assist Xiao Zhala in breaking the enemy's way back."

"Observe the order!" Brother Yelu Tie shouted.I thought to myself, Your Majesty is determined to wipe out the gold thieves, the camp in the northeast originally had 11 people under Xiao Chala'a's command, except for the [-] palace tent cavalry, the [-] cavalry led by Xiao Tachi was also the Northern Academy Army Among the elite.If another [-] reinforcements are sent, the camp army in the northeast will reach [-].Even if Jin Bing is a fierce tiger, if he encounters this group of hungry wolves that have been preparing for a long time on his exhausted return journey, he may not escape the result of being torn apart!

Yelu Dashi's tone was sonorous, with unquestionable authority: "The remaining [-] reinforcements will be sent to the North Camp as soon as possible. Before the reinforcements arrive, you should supervise the troops and stop them quietly. If the gold thieves don't flee north , our army will stick to the camp. Don't be careless in everything, let the gold thief take advantage of the loopholes. When the [-] reinforcements arrive, the morale of the gold thief will be exhausted, and the food and grass will be almost consumed. Our army will be able to settle Liaodong in one battle!"

"The last general obeys the order!" Brother Yelu Tie didn't dare to doubt his judgment at all. As for why the gold thief didn't retreat, why he stayed in Liaoyang, and whether he could start the next battle after the arrival of reinforcements as he wished, all these thoughts were only in the There was a flash in his mind, and then he was obliterated by his deep belief in His Majesty.As the privy envoy of the North Court, he only needs to do one thing now, and that is to do everything that His Majesty entrusted to him to the best, and he will never allow a single negligence!

The number of Khitan males in the Liao Kingdom is only over 45, but now the number of soldiers sent to the north has reached [-], plus the people who transported food and fodder, the Liao Kingdom can be said to be full of national strength in World War I.The northern Jurchen problem that has plagued the Liao Kingdom for many years is about to be completely resolved, and all the generals are full of enthusiasm, and they all responded loudly: "I will obey the order!" thief!"

Yelu Dashi nodded in satisfaction, and encouraged the generals.After everyone retreated, Yelu Tiege, the privy envoy of the North Court, was left alone. The smile on Yelu Dashi's face gradually turned cold, and he said slowly: "Today, the gold thief broke through two camps of our army, thanks to the guidance of one person. Zhao Xingde."
