Chapter 78 Let the tiger go away

An error occurred while processing s private files

Li Hu brought Yelu Ma Ge, Li Liangfu, Yuwen Xuzhong and Liu together, and this was the first meeting between the three parties.

Yelu Ma Ge's face looked ugly. The Song Dynasty betrayed the alliance, took advantage of the situation and took the initiative to attack Yanjing. He could not bear it. If it weren't for the survival of the Khitans, he would never have joined forces with the Song people. Li Liangfu looked calm. Although Xixia and the Song Dynasty had fought for decades, they were allies now, so they should be more polite in terms of emotion and reason.

Li Hu was too lazy to turn the round and talked about the main topic. How to fight next? The Jin army has no foreign aid and no supplementary food and weapons. The longer the time is, the smaller the possibility of breaking through, so if nothing unexpected happens, the Jin army will definitely have to fight a bloody path before midnight today. If you want to wipe out all your annihilation, there are only two ways. One is to try your best to surround the Jin army and drag it down alive. The other is to make a gap when the Jin army is at its craziest moment, then chase and kill it with all your might, and eat the Jin army bit by bit. There are more than 200 miles from the Killing Hukou to Zhenchuan Fort. The Jin army is tired and hungry, and there are probably not many who can successfully escape.

The three parties had a very tacit understanding and adopted the second method at the same time. This method can not only preserve troops, but also expand the results of the war, so of course they are willing. However, when Li Hu and his main force met, the three parties had no weight to speak, so Li Liangfu opened his mouth and made a request to divide the spoils first.

Wanyan Yu came from the clouds, and the army carried a large number of livestock, weapons, money and population. This part of the spoils was joined by the Song army. In the past, the plan to divide the three armies of Liao, Xia and Han had to be modified, but Li Liangfu was unwilling to do so. He firmly demanded to be divided according to the original plan. He had sufficient geographical reasons. You, Li Hu, deceived us. He never told us that the Song army would participate in the war. Since that is the case, what reason do you have to modify the plan? If you want to modify it, I will withdraw from this battle, let alone participate in the battle against Baishuilu.

Baishuilu is now the Jin army's commander camp, and the Jin army's plundering income in Yunnei was basically accumulated there. After the Battle of Killing Tigers, the next goal of the coalition forces was Baishuilu. As long as Baishuilu was captured, the Jin army lost livestock, weapons, money and other various materials. It would be difficult to gain a foothold in Daibei.

Yelu Ma Ge didn't speak. When he obviously supported Li Liangfu's opinion, it was a threat to remain silent at this time.

Yuwen Xuzhong and Liu Di's target was not Daibei, but Youyan. So they didn't care about these spoils. They only asked Li Hu to defend the mountain and then send troops to cooperate with the Song army's second northern expedition to Yanjing as soon as possible.

Li Hu agreed. The spoils from the battle of the Hukou were divided equally; the spoils from the battle of the Baishuilu were taken half, and the remaining half was given to the Liaoxia coalition forces, and the two sides were divided equally. The force was getting stronger and stronger.

The Jin army was very tenacious, continued to attack and swear to break through to the death.

The coalition forces that were blocking the front could not support it. The infantry battle formations formed by the Thunder Army, the Zhe Family Army, the second general of Hedong and the third general were torn apart one after another by the Jin army. Fortunately, the Song army's arch position was very powerful, and the Bohai Army provided timely support on both wings, which could barely support it.

Jinglei Army and Yisheng Army concentrated on the other side of Cangtou River and shot intensively at the Jin army.

The seventh general and the ninth general of Hedong, the Liangshan army and the resentful army concentrated on the foot of the mountain. With the support of Fangjin Subway Guard and Yelu Deguang, the foreign troops in Yelu Deguang, they kept squeezing the flanks of the Jin army.

Yelu Mage commanded the Khitan horse army, and Li Liangfu commanded the Xixia infantry and cavalry army. Their attacks were not fierce, but they were continuous and effectively restrained the Jurchen horse army. This made them unable to concentrate all the horse army forces to break through the front. However, Huo Shi and other Jin generals gathered together to discuss the breakthrough strategy urgently.

Judging from the current situation, Wanyan Yu and the army in the left-behind camp are in danger. They are very likely to be defeated and fled under the enemy's sneak attack. Without foreign aid, whether they can break through depends entirely on themselves. But the Jin army has no food and weapons to supplement it. If they continue like this, they will not be able to hold on for long and then they will be tied up.

Wanyan Talan suggested that the infantry army be given up and concentrate the horse army to break through with all their might. After the horse army broke out, the enemy would spend time encircling and annihilation of the infantry army. In this way, the horse army would win more time to escape from the battlefield.

"There is the Song army on the front of us." Huo Shi said. "They have a ground god arm bow and a single-earth crossbow with a range of more than 200 steps. There are a large number of ground rockets. The horse army forcibly breaks through the siege. The losses will be astonishing." Huo Shi suggested that the infantry first attack at any cost. Forcibly tear the formation of the Song army. This caused the Song army to lose its power. Then the horse army launched a charge and stepped on the infantry corpses and killed them. Whether it was their own people or the Song army, they killed together. Only in this way can the strength of the horse army be preserved to the greatest extent.

Wanyan Talan adopted Huo Shi's suggestion and ordered Huo Shi and Yang Xunqing to command the infantry to attack in full swing. Except for one of the horses blocked the Liao and Xia coalition forces in the rear, the rest of the horses gathered together to prepare for a fatal blow.

The changes in the battle formation of the Jin army attracted Li Hu's attention, and he knew that the craziest attack of the Jurchens was about to begin.

"I urgently report to Gao Baolong and mobilize the horse army to block the enemy in the middle of the formation."

"Appoint Li Jin, you can save it, and you can make it happen. Move to the two wings immediately, make way out of the middle lane, and use arrow formation to cover the enemy who breaks through the middle lane.

"Order Hu Jiayong, Song Jiang, Murong Xiahan, and Yang Ling to move to the passerby immediately, mobilize crossbowmen, and shoot intensively."

"Say back to Yelu Mage and Li Liangfu again, the Jin army is about to break through, please lead the horse army to chase the enemy, and we will lead our troops to follow up."

The commanders scattered out, and the drums and trumpets rang out loud. The coalition units quickly adjusted their deployment and prepared for the final blow. The sharpest sharp battle formation launched an attack.

The Jin infantrymen who were fighting in the front were the first to be hit, and they were ruthlessly killed by the horse army and died tragically under the iron hoof.

Gao Baolong ordered to yell the gold and blow the trumpet, make way out of the middle lane, and let the Jin army break through.

The Bohai Army, who was blocking the enemy in the middle, saw the Jin army killing like a tide. They turned around and ran away. At this moment, the Jurchens were crazy, and the killing sound was like thunder, and the blockers were invincible.

Li Jin, Zhe Keshun, and Zhe Keshu commanded the troops of their respective places to retreat quickly. The crossbowmen who had already retreated to the two wings showed their power at this time, used all their strength to shoot in the shortest time. The Zhe family army had 18,000 crossbowmen. The density of this arrow formation was very terrible. When the Jin army rushed through the arrow formation, they suffered heavy casualties.

Gao Baolong and the Bohai Army began to chase and kill on both wings. Yelu Mage and Li Liangfu led the Liaoxia Ma Army to pursue each other relentlessly.

Tens of thousands of horse soldiers rushed out of the pass. The huge roar gradually faded away.

At the same time, the coalition infantry launched a charge. The Jinglei Army and the Yisheng Army played a role at this time, and tens of thousands of people rushed into the battlefield. The deafening roar was enough to break the enemy's heart.

The Jin army infantry knew that they had been abandoned and had no morale. They surrendered and captured the captives and guarded the tiger's mouth. After dawn, Wang Yao took the Jinglei Army to return to Datong quickly.

Li Jin's Thunder Army, the Hedong Army of Zhe Ke, the Zhe Family Army of Zhe Kezhi, the Liangshan Army of Song Jiangdi and the Xixia infantry immediately withdrew from the battlefield to replenish food and weapons, and then marched overnight and rushed to the Baishuili battlefield. Under the attack, Tieying and Zhang Gao'er were unable to defend Shenjing Fort and had to retreat to Guihua Prefecture.

The Jin army successfully entered Shenjing Fort, and Zong Wang ordered a two-hour rest.

Zong Wang led 90,000 people to attack Fengshengzhou. After a day and one night, he lost thousands of losses. The soldiers were exhausted. Many generals asked for a rest overnight, but Zong Wang refused. He left 20,000 infantry and cavalry for Wanyan Loushi and asked him to attack Guihuazhou. He led more than 60,000 infantry and cavalry to advance to Xijing overnight.

"It's about 400 miles to go to Xijing, and it will take me at least three days to reach Qingpi Road." Zong Wang's horse stood in the dark, looked at the winding "fire dragon" in the distance, and whispered to the Loushi beside him, "You must march overnight and attack Guihua Prefecture quickly. The relationship between Li Hu and Yanjing is extraordinary. If Guihua Prefecture is in a hurry, the Liao army in Juyongguan will definitely support it, so you must be quick and take Guihua Prefecture in front of the Liao army."

Lou Shi frowned, his eyes were worried, he wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally nodded slightly, "I will do my best to reach Juyongguan as quickly as possible."

Late at night on the 25th, Zhenchuan Fort and Dongtougou.

After Dong Xiaochou arrived in Dongtougou, he invited Hou Gui and Dong Zhongsun to tell the current situation in detail. Before the victory or defeat was decided on the battlefield of Killing Hukou, the situation in Datong was very critical. At this critical moment, the two of them still gave up their past grudges and worked together to not lose the big picture because of the small. "Datong is lost, behind the mountain, we either go up the mountain to be bandits, or go to Hedong to be slaughtered by others. If the two don't want to go back to the past, then don't have a fight of will."

Dong Xiaochou's persuasion played a role. The two of them said a few perfunctory words and went back.

That night, the Jin army indeed launched an attack. Dong Xiaochou threw all the Tiger Lie First Army, Second Army, Fifth Army, Feiyun Army and Heishan Army into the battle and defended Dongtougou.

After a fierce battle between the two sides, the Jin army only captured three beacon towers, failed to capture Dongtougou, and destroyed the right wing defense line of Zhenchuan Fort, which failed to destroy the plan.

In the early morning of the 26th, Wanyan Gao rushed to the front line again and discussed in detail with Zong Han and Zong Pan.

Wanyan Gao meant that if the battle continued like this, the loss would be too great, so he would wait for Zong Wang to reach the city of Xijing and force Li Hu to draw reinforcements from Zhenchuan Fort before launching an attack.

Zong Han insisted on his own opinion. I suffered a lot of losses and Li Hu also suffered a lot of losses. I could afford it, but Li Hu could not afford it. When I beat Li Hu to an unbearable attack, he would naturally retreat. And the more I fought, the more Li Hu dared not draw reinforcements from Zhenchuan Fort to block Zong Wang, which would help Zong Wang to quickly reach the city of Xijing.

This time, Wanyan Zongpan, Yelu Yuji and others spoke in unanimously and opposed it. After the army was defeated, can they be defended even if they occupied Xijing? What should I use to replace the north? Don’t forget that the army of Xixia is eyeing the west bank of the Yellow River, and the desert has not yet gone south. Once they cross Yinshan, how can they resist?

On this day, the Jin army stopped attacking on the battlefield of Zhenchuan Fort.
