Lord of the House

When Na Hexiongqi led 5,000 elite cavalry across the sea ice in Liaodong Bay and directly interspersed with Ningjin in the middle of western Liaoning, more than 10,000 troops and horses who came to aid western Liaoning from Linyu were defeated, and Hao Zong in Songshan panicked. God.

The captive soldiers in the direction of Datong were as expected by Li Zhuo, and a group of elite cavalry was borrowed from Jinzhong and inserted into Yannan. Hao Zongcheng hated Li Zhuo for being a crow's mouth. Realized that the whole thing was probably really a big set for them by the Donghu people. In order to get this set, he even gave up Matsuyama Castle.

It was only February, and the land of western Liaoning was covered in snow. Although it no longer snows, there is no sign of warming and spring. The strong wind blew the dry snow, fluttering, and if it weren't for the cold and white sun showing its head, it would have been snowing.

When Li Zhuo was in command, the 60,000-strong army was prepared in a gradient from Ningjin to Songshan, and the transportation of grain and fodder was centered on Ningjin.

Hao Zongcheng was eager to accomplish the task, not only pressed all the troops that had left Western Liaoning to the front, but also transferred troops from Linyu and Changli to Western Liaoning. At this time, there were nearly 70,000 troops assembled on the front line of Songshan. Ningjin, as a transit point in western Liaoning, had less than 10,000 troops stationed, and the one that was defeated was not counted. The reserve troops in Linyu and Changli were already less than 20,000.

Compared with the rapid transfer of troops to the north, the operation of grain and fodder is seriously lagging behind. A large backlog of grains could not be transported in Ningjin, and the rice grains and horses in the first line of Songshan were only more than 40,000 stone. If Na Hexiongqi led the elites into the first line of Ningjin, Songshan had the worry of running out of grain.

During the period of Li Zhuo's command, he occupied some hills in the north of Songshan. Li Zhuo sent troops to cut trees on the top of the mountain to build a village, and he used cavalry to protect the bottom of the mountain. He built a total of six camps, set up camp gates, and dug a long trench around the periphery. Li Zhuo's idea was to take every step and extend northward, and ultimately build Songshan into an impregnable fortress county.

After Hao Zong became the commander, he felt that Li Zhuo's strategy was too slow, so he dispatched more than 50,000 troops and horses to cross the Songshan Mountain and extend northward, looking for fighter opportunities.

When the captive cavalry was inserted between Ningjin and Songshan, Hao Zongcheng was worried that he would lose his way, and hurriedly called back the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the north of Songshan. Hao Zongcheng did not control the spread of the good news. Almost at the same time, all the generals in the army knew the news that the way back was cut off, and people panicked.

Those generals who lead the troops are not determined to fight. At first, I felt that Liaoyang was empty and there were opportunities to take advantage of it, so I was eager to seek war, and wanted to make good military achievements and honor my ancestors. Hao Zongcheng took out the secret order, and they agreed together and expelled Li Zhuo. But by this time, the captive cavalry made a detour from Jinzhong to enter Yannan, and another elite cavalry from Liaodong crossed the sea into Ningjin to cut off their retreat. Like Hao Zongcheng, these generals were worried about gain and loss and at a loss.

Some people suggested to go back to Yannan immediately, some suggested to stick to Songshan and watch the situation, and some still insisted on attacking Liaoyang with heavy troops. The generals quarreled endlessly, and Hao Zongcheng didn't have a definite idea. After Hao Zongcheng supervised the commander-in-chief, Zhang Ximin temporarily acted as the superintendent of the military envoy as the military officer of the Ministry of War. Zhang Ximin has read several military books, but it is far from enough to cope with the current situation.

Zhang Ximin and Hao Zongcheng discussed in the secret room for two days, and finally came up with a four-inconsistent plan: Yuan Lishan led 20,000 troops to attack Liaoyang, Cheng Tinggui led 20,000 troops to return to Ningjin, Hao Zongcheng and the generals The rate of 30,000 soldiers and horses was in the middle of Songshan.

****************

Between Songshan and Liaoyang, there are moats built by Donghu people.

No one would easily let the enemy approach the gate of the capital city. After Songshan fell, they built a peripheral interception camp in the southwest of Liaoyang to keep the enemy from outside the capital. This is what the Donghu people have been doing for the past two months.

The head coach of the Donghu people in Qingqiangling is Yezi Luorong, Prince of Mordum. In the early years of the expedition against the Huhus in Yanxi, Ye Jiluorong showed his military talents with both wisdom and courage. When he broke through the southern invasion last time, he led 20,000 elite cavalry to contain Jingying, Jizhen and Xuanzhen several times around Gyeonggi. With his own strength, it was guaranteed that Ye Jier led the main force to successfully clean up Yannan and northern Shandong.

This time, the troops and horses he commanded in Qingqiangling were mainly from the East Hu people, but almost half of the Yanxi Hu Hu, Koryo people, and Liaodong Han people, with a total of less than 20,000 people; Those who were captured and brought back to the Southern Dynasties will work very hard.

At the beginning, it was planned to use Qingqiangling as the final battlefield, and use the 20,000 people led by Ye Jiluorong as the bait to attract the main force of the Jizhen army to the battle. However, Li Zhuo was not fooled, and replaced Hao Zongcheng. It was too late, so he could only send Na Hexiongqi to lead the army to cut into Ningjin first, and cut off the back road of the army of thistle town in Songshan.

Even so, the king of Khan insisted that he did not agree with the troops and horses of the Qingqiangling front line to go to Songshan...

They don't know the grain reserves of Songshan, and it is not a good thing to force 60,000 to 70,000 Ji town troops back to Songshan City. It would not be the result they hoped to see if Hao Zongcheng of Songshan was forced to withdraw from his division and withdraw from western Liaoning.

After several confrontations, although there were intentions to deliberately release water and lure the enemy deeper, it could be felt that the Jizhen army was much stronger than the battle of Chentangguan and the previous invasion of Yannan. Not to mention whether Hao Xiongqi led five or six thousand elite cavalry to hold back the pace of the Jizhen army's retreat south, and even if they did, they would lead the army to catch up and surround them, and no matter how much they devoured it, they didn't know how much it would cost. price.

To make Hao Zongcheng feel fortunate and delusional, to make them hesitant, and to constantly consume Jizhen's army's strength and will to resist in the field is the best way to fight.

Ye Ji Luorong and Ye Jier did not know that Hao Zongcheng, Zhang Ximin and others had already played the card they needed most.

From Songshan to Qingqiangling, Ye Jiluorong continuously sent small-scale cavalry and infantry to carry out tentative attacks on the 20,000 Ji town soldiers advancing northward.

"Uncle, how far can you fight this battle?"

The one who asked Ye Jiluorong was Yejier's eldest son, Yejibaishan, who was Yejiluorong's deputy commander and was conferred the king of the county.

Yeji Baishan looks rude, not at all like Yejier's handsome appearance, but like his mother, Yejier's concubine, ugly and unloved, but does not affect Baishan's status, after all, Yeji is the most popular Er's favorite jade concubine has no children.

Ye Zier is not in good health, and no one knows how many years his body will last. Yeji Luorong does not really hope that Baishan will inherit the throne of Khan. In that case, he and Duodi will be in danger.

Ye Ji Luorong hid this layer of thought and did not show it, looked at the soldiers and horses of Ji Town winding northward at the foot of the distant mountain, and replied to Bai Shan: "Honestly fight this battle first, and then think about other things! If the town army eats it, it will be a great victory!"

There were more than a thousand horses coming from the north, and the banner carried by the leading knight was trimmed with gold. Ye Jiluo looked over and said, "Your father is here, let's go to meet him!" down the mountain.

Ye Jier, dressed in thick clothes, sat on the back of a horse, watched Ye Ji Luorong and his eldest son Baishan come over, and said, "The Southern Dynasty has sent a messenger to ask Hao Zongcheng to withdraw his division from western Liaoning. The messenger sent by the gang - I decided to send troops to support Na Hexiongqi first, and completely seal the western Liaoning, you have to grit your teeth and hold on for a few days!"

"Hao Zongcheng will be frightened when the Jizhen army comes out and cut off these two heads, and it is not a cause for concern. Father Khan should mobilize most of his troops to enter the customs from Linyu. Join forces with King Sanshu. As long as the fortresses and cities around Yanjing are broken, the long-term siege of Yanjing will be easily broken!" Ye Jibaishan said.

Ye Ji Luorong smiled in his heart, this kid is playing with himself!

Yezier glanced at a distance and said, "Let's fight the battle in front of you first!"

************

On the 26th, Cheng Tinggui led his troops on the east side of Danling Mountain to fight against the captive cavalry led by Na Hexiongqi. After a few tentative battles, they retreated to the eastern foot of Danling Mountain to face off. The stalemate lasted only a day, and suddenly more than ten thousand cavalrymen re-entered from the northeast, joined forces with Na Hexiongqi, and besieged Cheng Tinggui's troops in Danling. Although Cheng Tinggui sent people to Songshan to ask for help, but on the night of the 27th, the prisoners launched a violent attack on Cheng Tinggui's troops.

Logging is difficult in the cold season, and Cheng Tinggui has a short time to retreat into Danling. The Danling camp is extremely thin. The captive soldiers dismounted and attacked at night, and in the early morning of the 28th, they broke the Danling fortress from the northeast corner. Cheng Tinggui's department persisted until noon on the 28th. Cheng Tinggui died of serious injuries. General Yu couldn't wait for reinforcements. Finally, he couldn't resist the pressure and chose to split up to break through. Since then, Cheng Tinggui's department has completely collapsed.

Barren mountains and wild ridges, the ground is covered with ice and snow, except for the deep mountains and old forests in the west, there is nowhere to escape, the broken soldiers flee in the snow, but they are easily chased from behind by captives and cavalry, shot by arrows or slashed by war knives-splash The hot blood flowed out into a river, melted a piece of snow, and it didn't flow far before it froze into red ice again.

Na Hexiongqi sent out 5,000 cavalry to chase down the defeated soldiers and blocked Songshan's retreat~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He led the main force northward, and at Yaowang Mountain, forty kilometers away from Songshan City, he would leave Songshan to Wanwan, who was assisting Cheng Tinggui. Yu Ji town soldiers defeated head on. Later, they bypassed Songshan City and attacked Yuan Lishan's troops who were attacking Qingqiangling.

Only by completely annihilating Yuan Lishan's troops, the Jizhen army in western Liaoning will not be a problem.

In addition to the more than 10,000 elites led by Hexiongqi and the 20,000 defenders of Qingqiangling, on the first day of March, Ye Jier personally led 30,000 soldiers and horses to Qingqiangling, and completely killed Yuan Lishan's 20,000 soldiers and horses. trapped in ice and snow.

In the face of the sudden deterioration of the situation in western Liaoning, Hao Zongcheng did not dare to send reinforcements to support Yuan Lishan's troops, nor did he dare to hold on to Songshan City, for fear of being besieged by Donghu people in Songshan City, on the second day of the third lunar month, extremely irrationally abandoned the city hastily. Breakout south.

Hao Zongcheng led only more than 20,000 troops to break through the siege, and the preparations were very inadequate. The stored grain, baggage and heavy ordnance were all discarded. Since the road was opened, there was no rear arrangement. The 20,000 soldiers and horses just hurried on the road and fled south in panic. In the area of ​​Ningjin and Danshan, they were stubbornly intercepted by the 5,000 soldiers and horses stranded here, and only a few soldiers and horses slipped through the gap.

Yuan Lishan held fast at the eastern foot of Qingqiangling until March 6th. Seeing that more and more captives were approaching, but not a single reinforcement in Songshan direction, he chose to surrender.

Then Ye Jier ordered Ye Ji Luorong and Na Hexiongqi to lead 20,000 elite cavalry first, and they would send the Danshan area to intercept the troops, chase the Jizhen army who fled south, and enter the customs according to the trend, and Ye Jiduo who entered Yannan earlier. Dy, join forces to fight Yanjing again!

Yejier and Yejibaishan of Changshan also led the main force to clean up the Qingqiangling, Songshan, and Danling areas and receive troops.

The Jizhen Army, which Li Zhuo spent three years rebuilding, completely collapsed in less than ten days. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
