September 30, Xijing.
That morning, Xiao Delidi was woken up from his sleep and was shocked to hear a fierce battle in Xihanling, more than 30 miles away. His first reaction was that the Han people riot near Xijing.
Since Li Hu led his army into Xijing Road, the Han people in Yunshuo area seemed to be crazy, changing their past gentleness, becoming bloody and cruel, burning, killing, looting, and doing everything. These sensible Han people may have been anxious to see the Liao army chasing Li Hu, so they desperately tried their best to intercept it. Last night, the Liao Hou army brought food and supplies to Xihanling, and the rebels might think it was a good opportunity, so they took action.
Xiao Delidi climbed up, calmly, and as if nothing had happened, he asked his subordinates to send scouts to inquire carefully, and contact Yelu Foding as soon as possible. The army was near Xijing. Although there was a battle in Xihanling, neither Xijing nor Liao army would be at any risk.
When he put on his clothes and was coughing, there was an urgent report. The road from Xijing to Xihanling was blocked by the rebels. The scouts tried to go deep into the Xihanling area. They saw rebels everywhere, and tiger-stealing flags could be seen everywhere.
Xiao Delidi was startled, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't care. The rebels had already fled south, so how could it appear near Xijing? It must be that the scout was afraid of death and was unwilling to go to the Xihanling area to inquire about military information, so he simply talked nonsense and wanted to get away with it. Xiao Delidi ordered to investigate again, and if someone found lies about military information, he would kill him immediately.
During breakfast, the scout reported again that the Liao army was defeated and the Southwest army was wiped out.
Xiao Delidi was furious and slapped the table, and was about to kill people. It was outrageous. The scout was afraid of death and lied about military information. It was understandable, but there was a limit for lying about lies? How could there be such nonsense? You brought me the person, and I asked myself. The scout came and brought a deserter in the Southwest Army. It was when he encountered this deserter that he learned about the defeat of the Southwest Army.
Xiao Delidi was panicked now and stopped eating breakfast, so anxious that he was in a mess. Li Hu was indeed extraordinary. He actually lured the tiger away from the mountain, luring the main force of the Liao army to go south, and then quietly emerged from the hidden place. One blow was fatal. What a powerful method. However, the Liao army had more than 100,000, and the commander was Yelu Mage, who had been in the battlefield for a long time. Even if the rebels successfully attacked the enemy, the consequences would not be too serious, and at most they would delay the attack south.
Yelu Saba came hurriedly when he heard the news. He and Xiao Delide's judgment were similar. The rebels had limited strength, and even if they attacked Yelu Buddha Ding at night, they would not have any amazing results. Yelu Buddha Ding had an army of 50,000. Most of these 50,000 people were foreign tribes, and they fought in the past few years. The army had very strong combat power and would not be wiped out. The fugitives fled from the battlefield and were killed according to the law. In order to save their heads, he certainly had to exaggerate the facts seriously.
The two of them discussed and thought that there should be no major event, so they sent more scouts while waiting patiently.
From morning to noon, several hours passed, and neither waited for the news from Yelu Mage, nor received a letter from Yelu Foding. The two places were only dozens of miles apart. There was no news, which meant that the situation was serious. It was much more serious than expected. The Liao army might have an accident, but what could happen? Yelu Mage had an army of more than 100,000. Even if it was surrounded by the rebels, the rebels could not eat it in one bite. The two sides would have to fight one battle in a row, and this battle might take several days. From this, it was judged that Yelu Mage might be commanding the army to break through, and the road from Xijing to Xihanling was blocked by the rebels, so there was no news for a long time.
Just as the two were terrified, the scout sent another shocking news that the rebels were coming to Xijing at a very fast speed.
The rebels came to Xijing? The battle was over? It was impossible. Yelu Ma Ge has an army of more than 100,000. Even if Li Hu had the ability to be in the world, even if the rebels were large, it was only a few hours before? How could the battle end? Could it be that the rebels were defeated and were fleeing towards Xijing?
After thinking about it, the two felt that this was the only possibility. The scouts in the city came from the local army guarding the city, and had no experience in fighting. They were not only afraid of death but also lie and were unreliable. If nothing unexpected happened, the rebels who were killing Xijing must have fled.
Xiao Delidi immediately ordered to close the city gates and wait for the battle. He also sent people to Changqing City to urge Monk Xiao to come quickly to help. The Wuding Army in Fengshengzhou was too slow and delayed. After the war, Monk Xiao would definitely impeach him, and he would be the governor of his position.
The first to arrive in Xijing was a horse army. The army did not stop, and it rushed around the city at lightning, heading north.
Xiao Delide and Jelu Saba stood on the city tower, looking at the smoke and dust rising high, and suddenly had an ominous premonition. The rebels were in line with neat lines, with flags flying and horns excited, not like they were fleeing. On the contrary, their morale was like rainbows and murderous intent. Their target to the north was obviously the Great Wall. If they occupied Zhenchuan Fort and blocked the connection between the inside and outside the Great Wall, Xijing would lose its support.
What exactly happened on the battlefield dozens of miles away? Did the Southwest Army really wipe out the entire army? The Southwest Army was wiped out, and the Liao army suffered a severe blow, and then was defeated like a mountain and collapsed thousands of miles away? Otherwise, how would you explain the scene in front of you? Where did the rebels get the extra force to occupy the Great Wall Pass? What is the purpose?
Xiao Delidi and a group of officials were in panic, and the soldiers on the city tower suddenly screamed. ====The crowd turned around and were all shocked. In the distance, a huge army was coming from the south quickly. Thousands of rebels were roaring, roaring like tigers coming out of the cage, and in a short time, they surrounded the city of Xijing.
Then, a team of rebels led hundreds of prisoners holding Liao army battle flags to the city. The prisoners shouted in unison at the city, the Liao army was defeated, the Southwest army was wiped out, the guards were wiped out, the palace tent army was wiped out, and Yelu Mage, Yelu Foding and Xiao Temo were all captured...
Xiao Delidi was extremely frightened and stared blankly at the prisoners under the city and the blood-stained battle flags, unable to believe that this was the fact.
This cannot be true. Yesterday, the army set out from Xijing, and just passed the fuck, and the entire army was wiped out. More than 100,000 people disappeared in a blink of an eye. How is this possible? This is the rebels' trick. They want to shake our army and attack our morale.
"Mobilize all the people in the city..." Xiao Delidi slowly turned around. Facing a group of frightened officials, he waved his arms vigorously and "defend the city to the death." He created a myth at the most difficult time of the rebels.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ This myth brought a solid territory to the rebels and a bright future to the rebels.
The generals of each army rushed to the commander's camp to report the military information. When everyone saw Li Hu, they knelt down one after another and gave great gifts, they were convinced.
In just three days, the rebels fought continuously, defeated more than 100,000 Liao troops, and completely controlled the situation within the Great Wall of Xijing Road. Just waited to conquer Xijing, and even if the rebels gained a foothold in Xijing, no one could create such a miracle. Except for the half-man and half-god Li Hu.
At dusk, Sima Huo Liuge, the marching mansion of the commander, informed everyone of the latest battle situation.
According to the scout's report, Yelu Foding and the remaining troops of the Southwest Army have retreated a hundred miles and are rushing to the area of Shahukou. It is estimated that they will be able to withdraw from the Great Wall tomorrow. Yelu Mage retreated from the direction of Qifeng Mountain and is now close to the area of Laolong Mountain. It is estimated that they will be able to withdraw from the Great Wall the day after tomorrow.
In the battle of Xihanling, the rebel army severely damaged the Southwest Army and annihilated more than 20,000 enemies, including about 10,000 prisoners, and seized a large amount of food and supplies.
In the battle of Wangjiabao, the rebel army wiped out the personal army of the guards. About 20,000 of them surrendered. They captured eleven senior officials including Xiao Temo, the subordinates of the Han Palace Capital, and the Jiedu Commander, including the commander of the army.
In addition, the entire Wuding Army in Fengshengzhou was wiped out in the Battle of Wenguangbei. This time, the rebels of Xijing war wiped out about 70,000 enemies, captured about 50,000 prisoners, and seized a large amount of money, food, weapons, camels, horses, cattle and sheep.
This is a rough statistics. The specific number will not be released until a detailed inventory is taken, but the entry and exit will not be too large.
After this battle, the rebel army's goal was Xijing, and it must seize Xijing as quickly as possible.
"We have been in the battle of Xijing Road for two months. All parties are watching closely now. Once the news of our defeat of the Liao army and local areas spread, whether it is the Jurchens, the Song people or the Xixia people, including Yelu Chun from Yanjing, they will immediately respond." Li Hu stood up and faced the generals, saying with a smile, "Our strength has expanded too fast, which is bad news for all parties."
"Before all parties respond, we'd better take down Xijing, so that we can take the initiative, advance, attack, retreat and defend." Li Hu turned around and pointed at the western Liaoxi on the map, "Even if we lose western Liaoxi, we are not afraid. We have a larger place to survive."
Li Hu wins Qin with his finger, "Ship Tuo, I will give you two more generals and give you five thousand prisoners. You will continue to go south to attack Shuoying and Ying. I still say the same thing. After taking Shuo and Ying two states, all officials of the prefectures and county governments will be retained. There will be no changes in various policies. We must appease the people as quickly as possible. Without the support of the people, we cannot survive. This is crucial, and you must remember it firmly."
Ying Qin agreed repeatedly.
Li Hu looked at Hou Gu again, "Shipman Yun, I will add four generals to you and give you 10,000 prisoners, so that you will have 20,000 Feiyun Army, and you can add a military-level organization. If you have two deputy commanders, you will be directly promoted to the military commander."
"Chen Bao is the commander of the Left Army and leads two generals into Weizhou. Wei Fu of the Liaoxing Army has been guarding the Lingxian City of Weizhou. After you arrive in Weizhou, follow his command and be prepared to attack Yanjing."
"Supervisor Yun and the commander of the Right Army, Nangong Bo, led six generals to enter Fengshengzhou immediately and seize Juyongguan as soon as possible. Whether or not they can seize Juyongguan is very important to our next attack on Yanjing, so we must act quickly."
Hou Guai, Chen Bao and Nangong Bo bowed to accept the order.
"The resentful army has two more generals, 20,000 people, and there are also left and right troops. Zuo Zhuanrong is the commander of the left army, and Lu Long is the commander of the right army."
"The Tiger Lie Army has added one army and three generals, and Tan Hongyi is appointed as the commander of the Sixth Army, with the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth generals under his jurisdiction."
"In addition to supplementing the lack of the generals in the past, the remaining prisoners formed the Xinghan Army, led by Iron Eagle."
