Chapter 9 Continue the Attack

An error occurred while processing s private files

Wanyan Loushi coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the tent, "Will continue to attack tomorrow?"

Attack is the idea of ​​all the generals of the Jin army. To put it nicely, this battle is called a return without success. To put it bluntly, it is actually a defeat. If you fail to achieve the intended attack purpose, of course it is a defeat. If you fail to complete the order issued by the emperor, from commander Wanyan Zongwang to these generals in the army, you will be punished. It doesn’t matter if you accept the punishment, it is nothing more than demotion and use, and you will not be beheaded. However, the loss of personal reputation is a lifelong thing. If you bear the bad reputation of defeating the war for life, you can’t raise your head and speak with confidence. This person will be boring.

Continuing to attack is the only way to safeguard one's reputation and personal interests, and to fulfill the emperor's orders.

However, the losses in this battle today were too great. It is roughly estimated that the number of casualties between the Fan and Han armies was about 13,000, or more. The 40,000 army launched an attack, but suffered such a heavy blow, which was something that no one expected before the war. Think carefully, this was caused by underestimating the enemy. If the rebel army was valued, if the army had made sufficient preparations in advance, if Wanyan Loushi had a clear understanding of the power of the rebel army's defensive formation in advance, if Wanyan Zongwang led his army to Weizhou and did not rush to attack, but first understood the reality of the rebel army, this battle would not have been so fierce.

It’s too late to say these words now, it’s useless to blame and complain about each other, and it’s useless to shirke each other’s responsibilities. The most important thing at the moment is to reorganize the army and continue to attack. As long as you can get the 400,000 Han people, today’s losses can be made up and today’s mistakes can be saved.

Wanyan Zongwang looked up at everyone, then turned his eyes to Mr. Wuyan sitting beside him.

Mr. Wuyan came from Yizhou today and brought news about going to Jingdao.

After the rebel army retreated from Longhua, the Liao army's commander Yelu Mage, the commander of the Northeast Road, and the commander Yelu Han Funu, the deputy commander of the South East Road, immediately marched in two directions and entered Longhua City three days ago. Then, Yelu Mage led his army eastward. According to time, he should have arrived at the Yizhou territory today.

Although the troops in Nianhan were limited, they were still more than enough to defend a city. In addition, Huanglong Mansion had already made a response to the Liao army's eastern expedition. The army of Huanglong Mansion was divided into two parts. One went westward and attacked Shangjing Road along Changchun and Taizhou, threatening Shangjing. The other went south to Tongzhou and Xianzhou to provide strong support to Yizhou's Nianhan.

The Liao army's eastern expedition was concurrent with three routes, and the main attack direction was Tokyo. Therefore, the emperor issued an order to take Guo Lu Bojilie Wanyan Gao as the commander of the army. He was in charge of Tokyo. He commanded the southern route Tongzongwang and Xianzhou route Tongzonghan (Nianhan) to defend the enemy, and must block the enemy outside the border.

The southern route of the Jin Kingdom refers to the prefectures and counties around Tokyo, which is the main battlefield for fighting against the Liao army. At the end of last year, the Jin army took the initiative to attack and captured seven prefectures and counties including the Liao Kingdom, Yi, Wei, Xian, etc. The commander of the army at that time was Wanyan Gao. Now Wanyan Gao is here again. On the way to Tokyo, he arrived in Tokyo. Zongwang, the commander of the southern route, had to obey his command. He could not transfer troops at will, nor could he fight as much as he wanted. Therefore, there was not much time left for Zongwang. If he wanted to turn the situation around, he had to seize all the time, otherwise his southern route would probably not be able to save him.

Wuyan looked hesitant, wanted to speak but stopped. After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't say anything.

"What do you say?" Zong Wang smiled, "Don't have any worries."

Wuyan thought for a while and asked, "You all think that if you continue to attack, you will have a chance of winning."

Silence in the account was once again.

Today's battle has made everyone feel cold. After fighting for several years, it is the first time that they have encountered such a strong enemy, so these generals are at a loss and cannot adjust their minds for a while, and they are confused. They don't know how to fight tomorrow. If they still forcefully attack like this, they will suffer heavy losses if they are not done well. As a result, the morale of the army will be lost, which is extremely unfavorable to subsequent battles.

Everyone didn't speak, and the meaning was very clear.

Wuyan looked at everyone and continued, "Li Hu had already taken down the Targas Mountain. The rebels were evacuating towards Chengzhou. If nothing unexpected happens, the rebels would definitely be able to withdraw before dusk tomorrow. If we continue to attack, we would definitely be blocked from Targas Mountain. The biggest result was to plunder some livestock and supplies. As for people, they could not grab any of them. This would be of no benefit to turning the situation around, but it would only increase casualties between the two sides."

"After this battle is over, you can think about the current situation."

"Xiao Gan lost consecutive battles and his army was disintegrated, and he had to take the initiative to retreat to Chengzhou. He still had at least 10,000 or 20,000 troops. With the strength of Tongchang City, Xiao Gan could completely stop Li Hu. Although the Liao army suffered heavy losses, had a low morale and exhausted, the rebel army was the same. Under such circumstances, Li Hu could not conquer Chengzhou at all."

"This situation is very obvious. The rebel army is still surrounded by the Liao and Jin armies, and is still in a deep death. Moreover, due to the shocking losses in the battle today, the rebel army is in an extremely bad situation and has almost no room for resistance. At this time, we should not continue to attack, but should send individuals to talk. Perhaps Li Hu has given up."

Everyone understood that Wuyan meant both soft and hard, first and then polite. Now that the war has been fought, the rebels have been defeated and dying, Li Hu's cruel Han captain should have been awake and given up.

Some people agree with Mr. Wuyan’s opinion, but some people disagree.

Wu Shu just disagrees with Li Hu. He has had a lot of dealings with Li Hu, and today he is still fighting face to face. He has learned about this person. Whether it is a yang or a yin player, this kid is an expert, and he is also very greedy. The more he takes advantage of you, the better. If you want to take advantage of him, there is no door. If the war reaches this point, you threaten him and ask him to give up resistance. How is it possible? If he gives up and sends out the 400,000 Han people, he will not call him Li Hu.

"What if he refuses? What if he never gives up?" Wu Shu asked.

Wuyan smiled and was very confident.

"The rebels withdrew from Longhua and did something very stupid. They burned the city of Longhua." Wuyan shook his head repeatedly, "This is equivalent to telling the Liao army that they retreated."

"Today is the eighth day of the rebels' retreat, and the fifth day of the rebels' attack on the Tarraku Mountain. According to common sense, the main force of the Liao army who went north to encircle and suppress the enemy has received the news that they may be rushing to Tarraku Mountain. In other words, in about five or six days, the main force of the Liao army will definitely reach Chengzhou." Mr. Wuyan looked contemptuous, "Li Hu is a smart man. Didn't he think that the more violent the battle was today, the closer he was to the defeat, and he was finished."

Wu Shu thought about it and shook his head firmly. He thought Li Hu was a lunatic, and it was incredible whether it was doing things or fighting. Mr. Wuyan used the idea of ​​a normal person to speculate on Li Hu, which was simply wrong.

"We cannot place victory on a madman." Wu Shu said, "We must attack and firmly control the initiative on the battlefield."

Zong Wang, Lou Shi and others nodded repeatedly and agreed with Wu Shu's opinion.

Wuyan sighed secretly. Now, he didn't know how to help Li Hu escape from this lifeless encirclement, but he couldn't give up. Things were not completely desperate and there was still a chance to save them.

Tongchang City was in chaos, with people shouting and neighing horses. The sound of drums and moustaches echoed one after another, resounding throughout the night.

On the wall of the North City, teams of Liao soldiers were waiting for battle. Piles of bonfires were burning, and the flames extended along the city wall to the east and west sides, illuminating the mountains and forests in front of the city.

Xiao Gan looked nervous, and he supported his hands on the battlements of the city walls, staring at the mountain road in the distance that was buried in the darkness.

A group of generals and officials of the royal palace were still in shock, everyone was afraid, and everyone was in groups of three or five, whispering to the retreat. At this time, no one had the confidence to defend Tongchang City. The rebels were pursuing the victory. The momentum was unstoppable, and with this city and thousands of fearful soldiers could not stop it.

The battle of Targlutinous Mountain was very badly defeated. Except for the Xi man Bode, the two horse troops in Chuli, all the other troops were lost. After Xiao Gan fled back, he saw Yelu Aguzhe and was speechless. Aguzhe understood the King of Xi very well and took the initiative to comfort him, believing that he could completely defend Tongchang City.

There are still two thousand defenders in Chengzhou, plus the four thousand Xi army that fled back. There are 6,000 troops in the city, and there are sufficient food and grass weapons. It is absolutely no problem to guard for ten days and half a month. In addition, the three thousand Changning troops who came reinforced from Sichuan Province will definitely arrive tomorrow, so the same city as Changcheng is as solid as a god. Just when the King of Yan leads the army to arrive, Li Hu and the gang of thieves will be finished and will be destroyed just in the morning. The roar of the sound is getting louder and louder, and gradually the mountains are echoing with amazing momentum.

The rebels are catching up.

The Liao generals on the city tower were frightened and the soldiers were even more frightened. It was terrible to think about it. Tens of thousands of troops in the Tribulus Mountain were wiped out, and King Xi fled back with only a few thousand horses. From this, you can imagine the strength of the rebels. The thief king Li Hu was a murderous butcher. If he captured Tongchang City, he would inevitably massacre the city bloodily. This city was not unsafe, but was simply a tomb.

Tongzhou, now Siping City, Jilin.

Xianzhou is northeast of Kaiyuan City, Liaoning Province, about 200 miles away from Shenyang.

The national theory is extremely strong:

In the central part of the Jin Dynasty, the "national prime minister" system was abolished during the tribal alliance, and four people were established to form the supreme ruling institution under the emperor.

The four early erections are as follows:

Wu Qimai was the Anban (Da) Bo Jilie. Wu Qimai, the fourth son of Emperor Shizu, and after Wanyan Aguda died, he succeeded the Emperor of Jin, namely Emperor Taizong of Jin.

The former prime minister Sa changed to the State Theory (country) Hulu (the commander of various tribes) Bo Jili.

The words are not lost as the national theory of Amai (first) are extremely strong.

Agudadi Gao (sigh) is the country's theory of "The Second) and the extremely strong.

Later, Alihe Ren (Aguda Uncle) was added to the State Council's B Office and managed external affairs.
