back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 961 The Final Battle ([-])

There is heavy snow on the grassland, but it is not the coldest time of the year.

The Liao army also seemed to realize that Xuetian was not good for him, and he didn't come to disturb him for several days.This snowfall lasted for more than ten days at a time, and the grassland was covered with a thick layer of snow.The horse stepped on it, and the speed slowed down a lot, and there was a feeling of powerlessness.

The advantage of the Liao army lies in horses. Without horses, the Liao army would have no mobility.So the Khitan people were very self-aware, and they didn't dare to provoke again.On the contrary, Yelu Hongji, in the palace of Linhuang Mansion, was furious every day, reprimanding the three armies for being useless, even Han dogs couldn't beat them.

All the soldiers felt aggrieved because the Han people could not avoid the battle. They organized no less than a hundred charges, but they were all easily blocked by the imperial army.

For more than half a year, I thought that the Liao Kingdom, which occupied a favorable location and people, could easily defeat the imperial army.But several months passed, and the imperial guards were still nesting there, not moving a single step.Simple trenches, bunkers piled up with earth, and barbed wire fences surrounded by wooden stakes can bring disaster to the Khitan people. People of insight in the Liao Dynasty have already faintly noticed that the world seems to be changing. No longer dominate the battlefield.

It's a pity that Yelu Hongji didn't realize this, he still thought it was because the soldiers didn't try their best, so he would scream in anger every now and then.

Even in snowy weather, he issued an order to let Yelu Sala lead the palace tent army to fight to the death with the Imperial Army, but Ye Lu Sala was not stupid, he accepted the order, but did not act.In the snow, not to mention the severe cold, the speed of the horses would drop a lot.It was impossible to break through the trenches of the Forbidden Army. After the speed dropped, wouldn't it be used as a target by the Forbidden Army?

No matter how stupid Yeruzala was, he would not do such a stupid thing.

The Imperial Guards were waiting, and so was he.It's just that Yeluzara waited for the sunny day, and the imperial army waited for the heavy snow to stop suddenly.

The two sides have a tacit understanding, and the wait is more than ten days.

On this day, the snow was small, and the heavy snow of goose feathers turned into fine and slight snowflakes.

The doctor saw that the opportunity must not be missed, and the time would never come, so he immediately ordered troops to be dispatched.Hearing the sound of a cannon from the Forbidden Army camp, the gate of the camp was opened wide, and the three armies rushed out immediately and formed a formation.

Thirty miles away, when Yeluzara heard that the imperial army was dispatched, he was overjoyed at first, and then surprised: "Isn't Zhe a fraud?"

Thinking about it carefully, since the so-called "Northern Expedition", the forbidden army has always been an upright and upright army, except for sneak attacking Yelu Hongji's golden tent, they have never done anything dangerous.Moreover, decisive battles with large armies, conspiracies and tricks are very difficult to perform.Only the king against the king, the general against the general, and head-to-head can win the final victory.

If it hadn't been for Yelu Hongji's "Personal Conquest", the Liao army might have won.What a great opportunity that was, God was helping the Liao Kingdom, there was a heavy rain that lasted for more than half an hour, and even after the rain gradually subsided, it still fell for a little less than half an hour.

Even so, the Liao Army couldn't do anything to the Forbidden Army, but Yelu Hongji was almost captured alive by the Forbidden Army.

Yelv Sala knew that Yelv Tabuye had no problems with his command, and his ability to grasp the timing was top-notch.It's a pity that Yelu Hongji was holding back and had to give up a good situation.

One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted.This is the best interpretation of Yelu Hongji. His existence is to add obstacles to the Liao army. It is better to stay in the palace honestly, so maybe the Liao army has a chance of winning.He didn't even think about it, which of the imperial conquests in history had a good end?

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was in charge of Soochow, but the army of 70 was defeated by Lu Xun;

Generally speaking, the emperor's personal expedition, with the weight of tens of thousands of vehicles, and the command of millions of troops, naturally the hearts of the people are enthusiastic, and they strive for death.Incredibly, what was supposed to happen never happened.

Yelu Hongji's defeat was because he didn't know how to fight, but insisted on interfering too much.He infiltrated his tentacles into every corner. The generals kept silent and asked for instructions at every turn. They couldn't adapt to the situation and act cheaply. How could they seize the fleeting opportunities and adapt to the ever-changing situation?Yelu Hongji regarded his intervention as the key to victory, but it was actually the source of failure.

Even if Yeluta is not, he is just a general escorting him, not a coach.Doesn't Yeluta have no absolute power, and there are only more than [-] soldiers and horses under his command, and there are even some who can't be adjusted, such as the royal tent's own cavalry, so Yeluta can't fight?Fortunately, the Lord of Heaven was more supportive, and there was a heavy rain, otherwise the Liao army would have been defeated long ago.

Yelu Sala is different from the fledgling Yelu Tat. He knows the danger of the emperor's intervention in military affairs, so the first condition for him to lead the army is that Yelu Hongji returns to the palace, so that he can fight with peace of mind.

Like Dashun Emperor Lu Chengqi, it is wisest to "challenge but not attack".This is a kind of mind, but also a kind of wisdom.I conquer you, but I will not conquer you personally.Professional things are left to professional people.

Lao Tzu said, if you do nothing, you can do everything, and if you don't fight, nothing in the world can compete with it.Who knows that sometimes, doing something personally can lead to inaction, and doing nothing can lead to action?In fact, there is a truth in this, everything has its own laws, once the rules are deviated from, and human interference is forced, then good things will also turn into bad things.

Yelu Hongji was such a person, but he told him clearly that he would not be convinced. The Taizu of Liao Dynasty was very good at bow and horse, and he led his troops to revolt and conquered the huge Liao Kingdom.It was passed to Yelu Hongji, but it didn't work?What's the point!
Yelu Sala also knew this, and he couldn't shame Yelu Hongji. He just said, "How can the emperor survive the dangers of the battle with his body of gold? It's better to sit in the palace and wait for the three armies in front to serve."It was precisely because of this that Yelu Hongji returned to the palace and gave up the command to Yelu Salar.

With absolute command power, Yeluzara has the confidence to compete with the imperial army.

It's just that the weather is so bad now, there is a chance of winning the battle?

When he was hesitating, Yelu Hongji sent someone to deliver an order, telling him to send troops immediately to fight the imperial army.

After receiving the decree, Yeruzara sighed inwardly.He seemed to have absolute command, but there was still Yelu Hongji sitting on it.No, a single decree can disrupt his overall plan.What's the difference between this and Yujia's personal conquest?
"Tat no, I finally know why you were captured, it's not enough to plan!" Yelu Sala said repeatedly with regret in his heart.

The sacred will must not be violated, no matter how powerful Yelu Sala is, it cannot be more powerful than Yelu Hongji.After all, Yelu Hongji was the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and he was just a great king of the Northern Academy.
