Chapter 1730 Army
Chapter 1,730 The Army
This autumn, this rebel army even captured Qianzhou, plundered the armory, and stole a large number of weapons and 500 pairs of armor.
At this point, Yelu Yanxi was finally alarmed by the incident, and he ordered his subordinates from the north to Linya and Hao's slaves to lead an army to suppress it.
Xiao Haili's mob couldn't defeat the regular army, so the boy learned from the ancient desires and fled to the Jurchens. He took refuge in the Adian tribe and sent envoys to find the Wanyan tribe. He said that the Liao Dynasty was empty inside and claimed that "I would like to cooperate with the Taishi." As friends, we will go to conquer Liao together!"
When they first received Yelu Yanxi's order, Yingge and Doctor Liu couldn't believe it, thinking that Yelu Yanxi most likely designed a trap to harm Wanyan Nuzhi.
As a result, when Xiao Haili's "envoy" arrived, Wanyan Yingge realized that this damn thing was actually true!
The majestic Liao Yan King's northern Lin Ya, the palace guard, couldn't even deal with a rogue leader?!
After analyzing the situation, Doctor Liu suggested that Yingge help Yelu Yanxi put down the rebellion, and take advantage of the opportunity to get close to the senior officials of the Liao Kingdom and review the current situation.
After several battles, Yingge and Doctor Liu thoroughly saw the corruption and depravity of the Liao army, so they bribed Hao's slave with a large amount of money and asked him to write a letter saying that winter was about to begin and the situation should be resolved quickly.
Although the female straights are brave, they lack armor, and the rebels in Xiao Haili are all regularly armed, and they are no better than ordinary escapees who can be dispatched at will.
To subdue Xiao Haili, it is necessary to equip female straight women with advanced military equipment.
Therefore, please allow Wanyan Department to recruit soldiers.
Just as news of the Liao Kingdom's southwest defeat came, Yelu Yanxi had no choice but to agree to Wanyan's request in order to quickly deal with Xiao Haili and lead troops to rescue him.
However, Yelu Yanxi forgot to set an upper limit for the Wanyan Department, because in his opinion, it would be great if the poor people of the Wanyan Department could raise an upper limit of one thousand armors.
In order not to irritate the Liao people too much, Yingge only recruited a thousand soldiers and handed them over to Aguda.
In fact, the Wanyan Department is not without armor, but this time, the female straight people can finally put the armored soldiers in front of the Liao people in an open and honest manner.
Aguda finally "legally" had a fully armored army, and excitedly said to his uncle: "With these armored soldiers, there is nothing that can't be accomplished!"
With the armor, the uncle and nephew stopped acting and led the army to defeat Xiao Haili in a blink of an eye. A Gu killed Xiao Haili in a formation and gave his head to Lin Ya in the north.
And all the elite weapons and 500 armors that Xiao Haili brought from the Liao Kingdom were captured by Aguda, and the Wanyan Department's military strength once again greatly increased.
The most important thing is that this battle made Aguda completely understand the corruption and weakness of the Liao Kingdom. Thousands of rebels in Xiao Haili could make the Liao army miserable, but they were completely vulnerable to his own army.
Gu Yu, who had previously fled to Nüzhi, and Xiao Haili's envoys, also truly told Aguda about the darkness, corruption and weakness within the Liao Kingdom. Aguda "from then on knew how easy it was for the Liao soldiers".
At the suggestion of Dr. Liu, Yingge began to adopt new diplomatic methods towards the Liao people. Instead of being loyal to the Liao people in the past, she turned to taking advantage of the corruption and weakness of the Liao country to fight against the Liao people. "Send the powerful" to break their wariness, and at the same time "strengthen the farmers to accumulate millet, train troops and herd horses."
Moreover, they began to stir up troubles, aggressively attacking Tie Li, Shi Wei, and Huang Long Nuzhi, whom they had not dared to offend easily before, and constantly testing the bottom line of the Liao people.
Yelu Hongji didn't know this. The information he knew was that Emperor Yanxi defeated Xiao Haili, spread the news to all directions, led troops to reinforce the southwest, fought a bloody battle at Langhe, drove back Mengantulak again, and regained control of the area east of Datong Prefecture.
Having secured Zhongjing, we are only a little short of opening up the connection channel with the Southwest Road Recruitment Division.
Under such a good situation, Yelu Hongji finally made up his mind.
In November of Xin Mao, Emperor Liao led Tielin's 150,000 troops to personally conquer Jingbian City, preparing for a decisive battle with Jeddah's anti-divorce coalition!
…
Under the first snow, the scenery is desolate and beautiful. The flowers beside the lake are brown and yellow, and there is a dense mist on the lake, as if there has never been a human habitation here.
Jeddah's army has retreated here, along with the five Ugu tribes and the eight Dilie tribes.
Although the Liao Kingdom has weakened, the Liao Emperor's Guards are still not so easy to mess with.
Although under the guidance of Master Qu, Jeddah took advantage of the North Road last year and once captured Hedong City, Jumu Ancient City, Jingbian City, plus the previous three northwest states, setting a record for the Tatars in the past century.
The best record of conquering six cities in a row, but when attacking Jingzhou, they were blocked by Yelu Hongji's army.
With only a small margin, Master Qu's strategy was successful. As long as Jingzhou was conquered, Jeddah and Magusu in the middle could pose a fatal threat to Changchunzhou.
However, due to the locust nature of the Tatars, too much time was wasted in massacring and plundering the city. Yelu Hongji seized the opportunity and first defeated Magusu at the gate of Taizhou City, and then went south to threaten Mengturak's retreat, and gave
When he went to Beijing to stay behind, the emperor's brother, King Yelu of Lu, and Lu Wen issued a death order, asking him to attack desperately.
Finally, they forced back Mengantulak in heavy rain, got rid of the crisis in the south, and were free to send their troops north to deal with Jeddah.
After Master Qu learned that Yelu Hongji had appeared in Jingzhou, he sighed and asked Jida to withdraw his troops.
However, Jeddah was unwilling to fail, and eventually lost its troops and generals at the foot of Jingzhou City, and lost all its siege equipment, so it had no choice but to retreat to Kaoluluo for repairs.
Kaolao is an inland lake. The Luqu River flowing from the hinterland of Tatar and the Haile water originating from Jinshan all flow into this lake.
In the past, when the Liao people entered the grasslands to plunder, they often took this road on the northern route. When Jida led his troops to attack the Liao Kingdom, they also took this road.
When winter comes, the grasslands begin to wither, and livestock begin to gather at the winter pastures. In the past, Castanopsis and Jingbian Town were the winter pastures where cattle and sheep gathered.
Around the lake, there used to be Tatar pastures to the west and Liao people's pastures to the east, with a total of more than 100,000 herdsmen, 400,000 cattle and horses, and countless flocks of sheep. It can be said that it was very lively.
However, this year, there were only the army and scouts around the lake, and the cattle and sheep were nowhere to be seen.
The distance from Taizhou of the Liao people to Hedong City, which is now controlled by the Tatars, to Castano is exactly the same.
And further away, the distances from the Liao people's Changchun Island and the Tatar people's Tazlan City to Kaochuanluo are exactly the same.
The strength of both sides here can be said to be evenly matched, so it has become a battleground for military strategists.
Generally speaking, Yelu Hongji was a guest army, but his troops were strong.
Jeddah occupies a favorable location, but its troops are still very loose. The headquarters only has 3,000 heavy cavalry and 40,000 light cavalry. It has expanded crazily in the past year, but only to 60,000.
The rest of the Ugu Dilie are known as the Thirteen Divisions. Although the total strength is as high as more than 100,000, they are no more than a mob, and they have both leaders and rats. Generally speaking, Jeddah is at a disadvantage in terms of military strength.
After the Spring War, both Yeluhongji and Jeddah needed to recuperate and take a breather. The scouts and Qingqi from both sides killed each other within a radius of several hundred miles, but they both wisely did not send large armies.
However, Tian Ji's strategy of horse racing by the Central Plains military strategists has actually been defeated by Yelu Hongji since the failure of the offensive this spring.
Although the largest wolf on the grassland is weak, it is not easily provoked by other wolves.
After receiving the good news from the emperor's grandson, Yelu Hongji made up his mind to teach the wolves a profound lesson.
Jingbian City and Jumu Ancient City face each other across the Ergun River. The Tatar defense of the city is lackluster. After Yelu Hongji captured Jumu Ancient City, Jeddah's back roads were seriously threatened. Master Qu firmly demanded that Jeddah retreat from Jingbian City.
The border town retreated, and the two sides only competed within a radius of several hundred miles on the north bank of Kaoliangluo.
The combat power of the Tatar light cavalry was fully utilized in this area. Although they gave up two cities, they fought equally with the Liao people. They fought from spring to summer, and from autumn to winter.
Yelu Hongji watched the development of the situation coldly, and based on the two cities, he constantly urged Wang Jing to transport grain and fodder from Changchun Island and hoard resources.
Now he finally showed his fangs.
To the west of Kaolan, one hundred thousand Liao troops marched along the lake, and soon arrived at the mouth of the Luqu River, and then marched westward along the Luqu River, still following the same old road, with the frontline pointing directly at Hedong City.
Once Hedong City is broken, four hundred miles ahead is the Tatar City of Tarlan, which is now the richest and most prosperous settlement of the Tatars.
Four hundred miles further west is where the former Northwest Road Recruiting Department was located, and Zhenzhou, the newly acquired important territory of the Bubu Department!
