Chapter 5 Encirclement and Anti-encirclement

An error occurred while processing s private files

Sandaohe battlefield.

The battle is coming to an end. Gao Baolong's Bohai Army, Mu Taoli's First Army, and Yelu Deguang's collapsed ridge and Fan Army are driving the remnants of the Jin army into the lake. The Jin army wants to surrender, but surrender means death. The Han and Khitans' horse army are not ruthless and killed when caught. The Jin army has no way to escape and is forced to the lake by tens of thousands of horse soldiers, approaching the lake, and drowning to death.

On the distant mountains, Li Hu looked up at the sky and showed a smug smile. The battle went smoothly. In less than an hour, he killed 30,000 Jin troops, but there were no Jurchens among the 30,000 people. Most of the people who died on the battlefield were Han people, Bohai people, and only a small number of Khitans and other foreign troops. Even if this army was wiped out, it was nothing to the Jurchens, because every time they won a battle, the Jurchens could surrender thousands of Liao troops.

"I killed them just to help the Jurchens." Li Hu said to Yelu Ma Ge, "Yelu Yuji surrendered with a 100,000 army. This is always a hidden danger for the Jurchens. Now I have killed 30,000 in one go, and Yelu Yuji has suffered heavy losses. Should Wanyan Aguda thank me?"

Ma Ge was expressionless and said nothing. Although he won the battle, he had no joy except pain. Today's battlefield is no longer like the Northeast Road battlefield a few years ago. At that time, the Jurchens fought head-on with the Liao army, but now the composition of the Jin army has changed. The Liao army in the past has become the Jin army. The Jurchens drove these troops to fight the Khitans and destroy the Khitans' country. The Khitans fought against the Khitans, one who was a Jurchen dog was accomplice the tiger, and the other who insisted on his hometown to defend his country. No matter which side wins, the one who cried bitterly was the Khitans, while the Jurchens laughed.

This is a kind of sorrow, a kind of sorrow of the country's demise that hurts the heart.

Li Hu's words were like a sharp sword stabbed into Ma Ge's heart, making Ma Ge's pain unbearable, and tears of humiliation almost burst into tears. Li Hu might be showing off or mocking. But the fact is so ruthless. If the Khitans want to survive today, they have to kill each other. Where are the Khitan warriors on the grassland in the past? Where are the backbone and courage of the Khitans? Why are they all shameless and cowardly Khitans?

"Yelu Yuji dare not fight again." Li Hu smiled, "But the Jurchens still have to fight. If this battle is not beaten to the bloody face of the Jurchens, they will never retreat." Li Hu turned to look at Brother Ma and asked, "Do you know what I fear the most about Jurchens?"

Brother Ma looked at Li Hu in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

"Toughness, I'm most afraid of the tenacity of the Jurchens." Li Hu said, "The Jurchens are like a starving wild wolf. Before they bite their prey to death, they will attack desperately and persevere until they bite their prey and die of blood."

Ma Ge couldn't help but nodded, deeply in agreement. He fought too many local wars with the Jurchens. He was very familiar with the attack style of Jurchens. "The Jurchens' horse army is the most powerful. If we add a tough attack and a flat terrain, we will die." Li Hu pointed to the nearby mountains and forests and said with a smile, "So, we cannot fight the Jin army in the Yinma River, but choose here. There are mountains and waters and beautiful scenery. The most important thing is that we have a strong infantry. We can rely on the infantry to block the pass, surround it, and then use the advantages of the horse army on the local battlefield to surround and kill the Jurchens. Therefore, even if we can't win this battle, we can severely damage the Jin army."

"What do you mean..." Brother Ma looked at the battlefield everywhere and asked in surprise. "Put the Jin army into Sandaohe and then surround the enemy here?"

Li Hu smiled at Brother Ma. "I sent someone to Erlong Mountain and Xiaotianping Mountain. The purpose was to tell the Jin army that I planned to cut off their retreat. In order to force the Jin army to divide their troops to defend. And concentrate the main forces in Xuande City to prevent me from being surrounded. Then, I opened Xingchengyuan and put the Jin army in and killed another group."

Brother Ma was shocked. He never dreamed that this was the so-called "decisive battle" of Li Hu. He seduced the enemy with a decisive battle. He kept the enemy on guard. But he lurked on the side, like a hungry wild wolf, attacked the enemy tenaciously and tenaciously until he bit the enemy to the point of scars.

"Li Hu is going to fight to the decisive battle." Wanyan Loushi came from under Xuande City. After listening to the words of Olu and Yu Jidi, he immediately realized that the Dezhou battlefield had become a place for decisive battle. He knew Li Hu and also knew Li Hu's methods. Since this kid had already taken action, he would definitely decide the winner.

"Although the fierce battle in Sandaohe land is still going on, the Xie Family Nu land's front-line army can no longer escape the fate of the entire army being wiped out." Yelu Yuji looked sad and angry, trying his best to restrain his emotions. "It is said that Li Hu refused to surrender prisoners and drove all the surrendered people into the lake and drowned.

A entourage spread out the map. Olu bent over and pointed at the Sandaohe area and said, "The scouts discovered the Bohai Army, the First Army of Hulien, and the Kaiyuan Army of Yunlin. The collapsed ridge and the Fan Army." Then he pointed to Erlong Mountain on the map. "The scouts found that the Han army was running from the small path to Erlong Mountain and Xiaotianping Mountain. At first we thought this army was coming from the Sandaohe battlefield. But now it seems that we were wrong. The Han army might have been

When we came, we hid near these two mountains. We just waited for us to move our main force to the line of Xingchengyuan and Sanyiquan. Then we attacked quickly, cut off our retreat and surrounded us in this area." Olu drew a big circle around Xuande City. "There are all mountains here. The roads are steep and are conducive to infantry combat. If Li Hu transferred all the main force of the Han army here, plus the Yelu Mage army, the troops may exceed us. The battlefield situation is not good for us."

"In my opinion, the troops must have exceeded ours." Yelu Yujiu said, "Xie's slaves had 30,000 troops. He was wiped out in such a short time and was besieged by at least 100,000 troops." Then he pointed to Xingcheng Garden in front, "There are still 10,000 or 20,000 troops here, plus the Liao army in the mainland of Xuande City, and the Han army rushing to Erlong Mountain, which is conservatively estimated to be 150,000."

Wanyan Olu and Wanyan Loushi were secretly surprised, but Yelu Yuji's analysis made sense.

"Isn't Li Hu afraid that we will break through the Yinma River defense line?" Wanyan Olu asked in confusion.

"Li Hu has always been like this in wars." Wanyan Loushi said, "He likes to bet, and he is a desperate bet. Although it is very dangerous, he is lucky and wins every time."

"If Li Hu wins here, even if Zong Han breaks through the Yinmahe defense line and kills the city of Xijing, he will fall into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides and being attacked from both sides. He has to withdraw." Yelu Yuji gritted his teeth and said decisively, "Let's withdraw our troops. This battle cannot be fought. We have lost 30,000 people, damaged our vitality and damaged our morale. If we continue to fight, we are very likely to suffer a severe blow. At that time, let alone attack Xijing, we may not be able to gain a foothold in Daibei."

"No..." Wanyan Olu waved his hand vigorously, "The withdrawal of troops is the biggest blow to morale. Since Li Hu wants to fight and fight to the decisive battle, we will accompany him to the end."

Yelu Yu's face changed slightly and wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Wanyan Loushi stopped him.

"The more difficult it is for us Jurchens to fight, the more persistent we persevere. If we are afraid to fight in the battle, our courage and morale will be lost one by one, and the result will be unimaginable." Wanyan Loushi said slowly, "Why can we Jurchens have today? It is based on courage and morale that moves forward. In the battle of Bubudagang, your emperor has 100,000 palace tent troops, while our emperor only has 20,000 horse troops, but our emperor is not afraid and fights bravely with the will of death. As a result, we won. If we are afraid to fight in the battle, will our Jurchens have today?"

Yelu Yujiu was speechless. The reason why the Khitans failed was because they lacked courage. In every battle, officials took the lead in running away, and they still became officials after they were defeated. How could such an army be the opponent of the Jurchens?

"We have lost 30,000, and we still have 70,000 people." Wanyan Loushi continued. "But considering that most of these 100,000 people were the Liao army surrendered, if we fight a tough battle, we may have too much loss. So we focus on defense and dragged the main force of Li Hu here. Then we urgently sued the Dutong, ask the Dutong to send a letter to Zonghan, and ask him to take advantage of the main force of the Han army to launch a fierce attack on Dezhou, break through the Yinmahe line, and cut off the retreat route of the Han army."

"At the same time, please mobilize a large army to attack Erlong Mountain. Join us and surround Li Hu and Yelu Mage in the line of Sanyiquan and Sandaohe."

"How many troops can the governor mobilize?" Yelu Yuji asked.

"Zong Wang, the Zongpandi army will be able to reach Baishuilu today. They brought back 30,000 troops from Yehuling. In addition, Wanyan Talai still has 30,000 troops. This army attacks Yelu Foding in Shiyaowan in the area of ​​Shiyaowan in Shiyaowan in the northwest. This army is only a few dozen miles away from Xuande City and will be able to come to reinforce immediately."

"Look at it..." Wanyan Loushi pointed to the map, "After Talan and Zong Wang's army broke through Erlong Mountain and met us, we had 130,000 troops, and Zonghan was in Giant Treasure, and there were 70,000 troops on the line of Lie'e. Li Hu was surrounded. In the northwest of other places were Jinhe Mountain and Daihai, and in the southeast were our 200,000 troops. It is difficult to have wings.

"Can Zonghan break through the Yinma River quickly?" Yelu Yujiu didn't believe it. "Li Hu saw that the Yinma River defense line was in danger, and he would retreat immediately."

After Li Hu occupied Xijing, his strength expanded rapidly, with at least 200,000 troops. Even if he fought on three lines, the Datong line should have the largest number of troops. In order to ensure the safety of Datong, Li Hu must be very strong in the Yinma River defense line, and it is impossible to fall like a mound of soil.

"So, we have to hold Li Hu." Wanyan Loushi said calmly, "We still have reinforcements that will arrive soon, that is, Guolun Haobo's stern Wanyan Yu's army. According to time calculations, he can reach Baishuilu in the next few days."

"Please don't worry, don't expose your strength too early, so as not to scare Li Hu away." Wanyan Olu said, "If the president sends all the troops of Wanyan Yu and Zong Wang to the Yinmahe battlefield, with more than 100,000 troops, he is completely sure to release them, cut off Li Hu's retreat, and complete the encirclement."
