Li Hu soon received a message from Wu Penglong, which excited the officials of the General Administration. The surprise attack was successful, Luo Qinghan took Yu Pass and cut off the Liao army's food supply route, and Xiao Bao finally decided to attack.
Li Hu immediately summoned the commanders of each army and reported the commanders of each army on the front line of Yizhou. Dong Xiaochou was the commander of the rebel army on the front line of Yizhou. The generals of each army would absolutely comply with his orders, and those who violated the orders were severely punished.
Then I told the commanders of the Jinzhou front-line army, with Mao's army as the commander of the rebel army on the Jinzhou front-line, Gao Baolong's Tiger Lie First Army, Chu Xiaoyao's Tiger Lie Fifth Army, Huo Liuge's Shenlong Army, Win Qin's Yunshuo Army, and Li Jin's Thunder Army were all controlled by him. If you follow his military orders, you must lead all the Jinzhou army out and capture Jinzhou.
The old camp commander Luo Sinan and the branch commander Hu Tu hurried to the coach's mansion.
"In order to lure all the Liao army in Jinzhou, I plan to abandon Chaya Mountain, Quyizhou and Haibeizhou, and give the Jinzhou Liao army the illusion that our army is preparing to break through the north, forcing them to transfer all the troops in the city." Li Hu pointed to Haibeizhou and Quyizhou on the map and said with a smile, "You arrange some of the people to stay in these two cities. Once the Liao army arrives, they will abandon the city and flee, discard the baggage and livestock. The Liao army will definitely take the opportunity to plunder, and our army will take the opportunity to kill, surround them between Shuangshan and Chaya Mountain, and lure the Liao army in the city to help."
Luo Sinan frowned, very worried, "The Liao army is too large, and part of our army is on the battlefield of Yizhou. There are only 20,000 to 30,000 people on the battlefield of Jinzhou. They will definitely not be able to surround them. If they rush around and kill, disturb the people and hundreds of thousands of people suddenly collapse, the situation will be uncontrollable."
"My target is Jinzhou." Li Hu disagreed and said lightly, "The battlefield in Yizhou is just a bait. We fought with the resentful army to death, but we wanted to attract all the Liao army to Hongzheng City, so as to give the Jin army enough time to capture Chuanzhou, and then cut off the Liao army's retreat and surround the Liao army."
Luo Sinan understood and stopped talking. Li Hu was a genius and was invincible in every battle. Since he was absolutely sure, he didn't have to worry too much. Just organize the people to retreat well and ensure that the people will not collapse due to panic.
Hu Tu was a little nervous, narrowing his eyes and blinking hard. He really couldn't figure out that Li Hu had used a method to take down Yu Pass. As for joining forces with the Jurchens and attacking the Liao army again, he was not surprised. Because Li Hu's survival strategy was to join the Jin Dynasty to attack Liao. At the moment of life and death, of course, he had to use this strategy to the extreme.
"General General, is the main attacker of the Jin army this time, or is it our main attacker?"
This issue is very critical. If the Jin army is the main attack, the rebel army must take preservation of its strength as the premise, and the strategies implemented will be different. If the land should be abandoned, the people and the rebel army's property may be lost as a result.
Li Hu glanced at him with appreciation. "It is the main attacker of the Jin army. We must preserve our strength, because our goal is not only Jinzhou, but also Yuguan." Li Hu pointed to the map. His fingers drew from Jinzhou on the map along the coastline to Yuguan. "The importance of Yuguan is self-evident, which is directly related to whether we can gain a foothold in Heishan. Now we have finally won it, so we cannot lose it anyway. At present, Luo Shuai is under the enemy from Yuguan and is seriously lacking in food and weapons, so we can't hold on for long. After we take Jinzhou, we must fight to Yuguan as fast as possible, and we must conquer cities and plunder the land, so we must ensure that we have enough troops."
Hu Tu nodded repeatedly and hesitated for a moment. He asked carefully: "General General, how did Luo Shuai get to Yu Pass?" He didn't know about this at all. Except for a limited number of people in the rebel army, no one else knew that Luo Qinghan had quietly left with an army of 10,000.
Li Hu smiled slightly, and pointed a few times on the Liaohai on the map with his finger, "Those who passed by the sea."
The sea route? Where did the ship come from? What you used spells to make? It's even more confused.
"The General General found the pirates." Huang She couldn't help laughing when he saw Hu Tu's idiot look and laughed, "Hu Zhi Envoy, after this battle, the General General General will introduce these pirates to you. Whether our rebel army can develop in the future depends on whether you, Hu Zhi Envoy, can make good use of these pirates."
Pirate? Hu Tu suddenly became excited, "General General, have you found the Liaohai Dragon? The Liaohai Dragon listen to you?"
In his plan to make money, after the rebel army gained a foothold in Heishan, the fastest and most convenient way to make money was to return to Yi by sea, trade with the Song and Goryeo people, and then obtain the food and supplies that the rebel army urgently needed. However, it takes ships to return to Yi by sea, and the bigger problem is pirates. When he helped Yelu Mage do return to Yi by sea, merchant ships repeatedly hijacked the pirates and often lost all their money, but the profit of returning to Yi by sea is amazing. If it can be done ten times, it is enough to compensate for the losses.
At this moment, I suddenly heard that the pirates in the Liaohai were all Li Hu's brothers. Hu Tu was so happy that he almost danced, "General Manager, General Manager... You are a god. We are going to make a fortune." Hu Tu said without hesitation and flattered him.
"Don't be too happy too early." Li Hu smiled, "The biggest trouble now is the people, the people who refuse to give up their cattle and sheep. This idea was caused by you, and the trouble was caused by you. You have to deal with this matter. If something goes wrong and the army fails to capture Jinzhou, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish."
Hu Tu agreed repeatedly and said goodbye and left in a hurry.
Jinzhou has a tall city and the main force of the rebel army is on the battlefield of Yizhou, so when they attack Jinzhou, they can only lead to a clever attack, but not a forceful attack.
Everyone had discussed this matter long ago and unanimously agreed that Wu Penglong would rely on his inner support.
"Wu Penglong dared not agree. He pushed the crowd and even opened his mouth and asked us to give him money." Yuanye smiled, "A few days ago, I asked someone to break his legs, and then gave him money according to his request. Now his legs are broken and he can only stay in the city. Just wait for the Liao army in the city to come out, his inner support can play a role."
"Is this matter reliable?" Li Hu was a little worried.
"There will be no problem." Yuan Ye said, "Sima played this game well. Wu Penglong is not only greedy for money, but also brave. As long as he gives him enough money, he dares to sell even if he doesn't want to say a Jinzhou city. The Liao army in the city came out in full swing and was surrounded by us. Wu Penglong saw that the situation was favorable, so of course he would offer the city to surrender."
"We are ready for both." Chai Yun said, "Chu Xiaoyao's Fifth Army, Huo Shuai's Shenlong Army, and Li Shuai's Thunder Army, more than 10,000 people were ambushed in the Chaya Mountain area. The Liao army had no possibility of breaking back to the city. Just wait for the Jin army to be dispatched, the situation on the front line of Daling River will change, so we will have enough troops to attack Jinzhou. There is an empty city in Jinzhou, and it will be ready every day."
"Okay, tell Mao Shuai that after I spill the bait out, he can evacuate Chaya Mountain and put the Liao army in." Li Hu said, "Say Bao Shuai again. When the people of Quyizhou and Haibeizhou evacuate, his horse army must cut off the back cover and never allow the people to be abandoned, causing the situation to get out of control, otherwise the situation will be killed without mercy." Xin, on the left is Yelu Temo's 20,000 troops, under the city are three battalions of Guo Yaoshi, and on the right are 50,000 troops from Yelu Eliye who came from Qianzhou, about 80,000 people, arranged in a "pin" shape, and attacked the rebels in the direction of Shuangshan.
The rebel army relies on Shuangshan. On the left are Dong Xiaochou's five battalions of the resentful army, in the middle are Dong Zhongsun's Black Mountain Army and Zhang Gao'er's King of Hell Army, and on the right are Wu Xiong's Tiger Li's Third Army. The Mu Taoli's Horse Army is located in the middle formation, providing support to the left and right wings. The 40,000 rebel army relies on its terrain advantage to fight.
The Liao army was full of morale, and from the commander to ordinary soldiers, they were full of confidence in this battle.
The successful occupation of the Daling River line is equivalent to cutting off the connection between the Jin army and the rebels, and narrowing the encirclement. At this time, as long as the Liao army in the direction of Jinzhou takes advantage of the situation, the rebels will be defeated.
On the sixth day of the second month, Yelu Eriye thought he was sure to win, so he immediately reported the victory to the emperor and the palace account. At the same time, he ordered Guo Yaoshi to gather his troops, hand over all the weapons, leave the battlefield immediately, and wait for disposal.
Guo Yaoshi accepted it calmly. This is normal. The resentful army rebelled again and again. It is impossible to keep the number. The army must be broken up and then supplemented with other troops. As for himself and a group of subordinates, even if he cannot be promoted or promoted, it will be no problem to retain his existing official position by relying on the merits of suppressing the rebels. This step is finally right.
He thought that he had gone right, and his subordinates might not think so. That night, Nian Junyu, the commander of Houjin Camp, fled with the army, and the Liao army then covered the killing. Houjin Camp collapsed, and Nian Junyu fled back to the rebel army with only more than 300 people.
Xiao Bao commanded the Liao Xing army to attack Chayashan fiercely. The Liao Xing army commander Wang Bolong and the cavalry commander Wang Liuer fought hard. They fought for two consecutive days, and finally defeated the rebels and successfully captured Chayashan.
On the seventh day of the second month, the Liao army crossed Chaya Mountain and headed straight for Quyizhou. Discarded weapons, armor and supplies could be seen everywhere along the way, which shows that the rebels' morale was in chaos and they were eager to escape.
The Liao army attacked Yizhou and fought for a long time. The rebels abandoned the city and fled. The people in the city immediately scattered, covering the sky and the earth with people running wildly.
When the Liao army rushed into the city, there were piles of property and thousands of livestock... and it was robbed... the Liao army was in chaos and wanted to plunder.
