Chapter 79 The Victory of Fuyang
When Liu Zhiyuan was thinking about summoning Liu Chengyou and Long Qi's army to return, Liu Chengyou won his first military victory after going east to Taihang in Cizhou, or a big victory.
Due to the massacre of Anyang, the soldiers of Longqi's army shared the same hatred of the enemy and formed a mourning force. After the public memorial service, a simple aftermath was carried out in Anyang. Liu Chengyou led the Longqi army full of revenge fireworks to the north and "chasing" the Khitan army.
Although Yelu Deguang was not afraid of Long Qi's army and even didn't take Liu Chengyou seriously, he could not have been unprepared. When he led most of the people north, he still left a supportive army behind him.
Originally, a soldier was left in Ye County, where the junction of magnetic magnitude, and wanted to ambush the Longqi army, but Liu Chengyou was as stable as an old dog and did not get into a trap. After Yelu Deguang's brigade passed by Cizhou, he left Yelu Jieli to lead the troops in Handan, and then surrendered Gao Tangying as the defense envoy of Cizhou, leading his troops to station in Fuyang and conjunction with Cizhou.
As for the original Cizhou Governor Li Gu, he was reported for helping the Cizhou thief Liang Hui in rebellion, and was tortured by the Khitans and became a prisoner in the Liao camp.
Liu Chengyou led his army northward and had already discovered the situation in Cizhou and surrounded Fuyang with thunder. Gao Tang had a young man in his army and did not dare to attack. He only sent people to Handan for help before Liu Chengyou came, and then he retreated to wait for help.
Of course, Liu Chengyou's goal was not only in Fuyang, but also in the beginning, he had the intention of surrounding and supporting aid. After setting up camps and taking advantage of the surrounding areas, he was waiting for the reaction of the Liao army in the north.
On the other side of Handan, Yelu Jieli smiled happily when he received a letter of help. He almost thought without thinking, led 10,000 squads and cavalry straight south and headed straight to Wuyang, intending to annihilate the Longqi army at the city.
Yelu Jieli's approach was very sensible. He did not carefully investigate the situation of Longqi Army, did not make sufficient preparations for advancement, and did not think about tactical changes in detail, so he went all the way.
From beginning to end, Yelu Jieli didn't seem to pay attention to Liu Chengyou. His thoughts did not turn around at all, and he was immersed in the invincibility of going south to destroy Jin last year, as if he had not noticed the changes in the current situation.
In fact, even to the point of retreating north, the Khitan army had not suffered any major setbacks in the confrontation with the Han soldiers for half a year. As for the rebellion of the states and the impact of the Central Plains and the people of Hebei suffered from the impact, although they had exhausted and exhausted, they had not yet felt the pain.
As a result, it turns out that underestimating Liu Chengyou will pay a price.
The Longqi army is now gathering talents. Although the troops are weak, they have the will to swallow the Liao army in Handan in one bite. In the Yangyang of the Fushui River, the Longqi Cavalry and Clan army were waiting for their labor. At the same time, they fought a battle with the Yelu Jieli army coming from the south.
Similar to the previous battle with Geng Chong's US military, Liu Chengyou completely delegated power, and the generals of the subordinate army performed according to the established combat policy. The difference is that Liu Chengyou personally took charge of the central army this time and coordinated the overall situation. Zhang Yanwei, Guo Rong and Xiang Xun helped to adapt to the situation. At the same time, he beat the drum himself to boost morale.
This battle was a time when the Longqi Army completely exploded its combat power, and used its weak forces to fight head-on with the Khitan infantry and cavalry army to compete for hard power.
The south is dependent on the water and the east is dependent on the sun. It originally means fighting against the water and putting it to death. In addition, the Longqi Army is well-trained, has high morale, and has sufficient preparations before the battle. Since the beginning of the battle, it has always had the upper hand.
After the confrontation, the battle was fierce for half a day, and the attack was not over. With a wave of counterattacks, the Khitan infantry and cavalry led by Yelu Jieli was caught off guard. The Longqi army was full of morale and became more courageous in the battle, pushing the front line for more than two miles.
After Yelu Jieli finally stabilized his position, the cavalry arranged in advance by Liu Chengyou attacked from behind under the command of Han Tong, directly defeating the Khitan army and winning!
Originally, Yelu Jieli also had the intention of attacking the inner and outer forces of Fuyang City to annihilate the Longqi army. Unfortunately, until the defeat, Gao Tangying in Fuyang City did not make any noise at all.
This surprised Liu Chengyou. In the end, he did not use the one used to deal with the defenders of the Yangyang army manually.
After chasing and chasing the north for more than 30 miles, Liu Chengyou just withdrew his troops and achieved great results. Yelu Jieli led a large army of infantry and cavalry that could return to the north, and the rest were either dead or captured.
There is Taicheng Town north of Fuyang, near the tombs of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, and Liu Chengyou is here to mourn gold.
"Your Highness, the Hu chief of Yelu Jieli escaped quickly and could not capture him alive!" He looked at the Lianpo temple next to the town, and pursued the troops to return them one after another. Zhang Yanwei took the lead and reported to Liu Chengyou.
"The defeated general is not worthy of courage. If you escape, you will run away." Liu Chengyou held his hands behind his back, glanced at the somewhat dilapidated temple, and asked casually: "What is the result of the battle?"
"Although there is no detailed report, we can make a rough estimate. There are more than 3,000 enemy soldiers who are killed and injured in the battle under the city. In addition, there are more than 1,000 prisoners in each army. There are countless people who are defeated and dispersed in the enemy." Guo Rong reported to Liu Chengyou.
"Order the cavalry to go north, continue to pursue, and continue to reconnaise the situation of the Khitan army returning to the north!" Nodded, Liu Chengyou ordered: "The rest of the troops will clean up the battlefield and rest in Fuyang!"
"yes!"
"Your Highness, what should you do with those prisoners?" At this time, Zhang Yanwei suddenly asked.
Looking back, Liu Chengyou looked at Zhang Yanwei, and saw that his face was very fierce. Facing Liu Chengyou's gaze, the flesh on Zhang Yanwei's face seemed to be cruel, and he said coldly: "These prisoners are basically Khitans!"
With his brows slightly frowned, Liu Chengyou asked softly: "What do you think, what should you do?"
"Kill!" Zhang Yanwei replied without hesitation, murderous: "Avenge the people of Anyang!"
Liu Chengyou looked at Guo Rong. Guo Rong's face was as normal as Zhang Yanwei. He just said calmly: "Your Highness, we have no extra troops to take care of these prisoners, nor do we have any extra food..."
Of course, Liu Chengyou understood what Guo Rong meant, waved his hand, and said indifferently: "Then kill it!"
After agreeing to kill prisoners, Liu Chengyou might have the intention to relieve the revenge of his soldiers, but what he really considered was the environment he was in at this time, and he had no spare energy to take care of these Khitans, and it was even more impossible to let them go directly. Moreover, the Khitans were no better than the Yan people before!
I won’t describe things that go against the harmony of nature and are not conducive to harmony.
Returning all the way south, returning to Fuyang City, and taking care of the aftermath, the victorious army pressed against the Cizhou Prefecture City with a more majestic and invincible aura. Liu Chengyou clearly felt that after the battle between Fuyang and Khitan troops, Long Qi's entire army had entered a state of vigorous self-confidence and extremely strong morale.
When he arrived at the city, he was about to solve the problem of Fuyang and went to the city to rest, Liu Chengyou received a report from his subordinates: "Your Highness, the city sends people to send a message to the letter to surrender!"
