Beginning with Detective Li Yuanfang, Chapter 998 of the text volume, come here! "Shanhai Pass has not been lost. The guard Shi Yong deserves great credit, and the Minister of Rites Liang Shijie also has the credit of stabilizing people's hearts."
Li Yan arrived in the north of Shunzhou, and the map was rolled out from the temporary headquarters. He first read the military information compiled from various places, and found that there was no second emergency report from Shanhaiguan. He knew that the war situation there was still stalemate, and he felt relieved.
color.
There were many generals standing around, and this one raised his head, drew out his familiar pointer, and drew a line on the Great Wall defense line. He started with a clear statement, pointing directly to the core of the strategy: "The key to this battle lies in the Great Wall."
"Although Tiefutu has been upgraded to 3,000 men and each pass is equipped with equipment, the overall cavalry of our Yan army is still insufficient. In terms of tactical initiative, the Jin people still have the upper hand."
"Once the Jin army breaks through the border defense and drives straight in, it will be full of smoke and they will be exhausted to deal with. That is what the enemy wants to see, and we must not fall into this rhythm."
The generals nodded.
They followed him all the way and knew that from the head coach, to the King of Yan, and now to the Supreme Lord of Yan, he always loved the people.
Therefore, on the way, Zhu Wu, Wu Yong, Gongsun Zhao, Lu Junyi, Hua Rong, Shi Qian, and Ding Run were all thinking about good strategies to deal with the enemy, but no one was thinking about the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness.
Not only would it be extremely harmful to the people, but it would probably be too late in time. If the Jin army broke open a line of defense and rushed in during the execution, the consequences would be disastrous.
Lu Junyi was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, we must defend the enemy outside the country. If we can capture Zhongjing, we can confuse the Jin people's hearts and make the enemy's power collapse without attack!"
Hua Rong followed closely: "It's time to order the Anton Guard to attack, advance into Liaodong, outflank the Jin army's retreat, and if there is a chance, annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop!"
Andong Protectorate, this is a name taken from the Tang Dynasty. After the navy of the Yan Army took over the territory of Goryeo, they now established local teams in the Korean Peninsula, using the Andong Protectorate system.
Under normal circumstances, a large number of army troops and Yanting officials would go there by water, and after running the Andong Protectorate into a solid state, they would officially send troops to Liaodong.
That is to say, the war is at home. The Yan army will use the inhumane push tactics to teach the Jin army how to behave.
Now that the Jin people have finished attacking Xixia, they are heading south to attack non-stop. If the Anton Governor's Mansion wants to send troops, it seems to be hasty, but it is not impossible.
War is never going to be a step-by-step process. The enemy always wants to cause surprises and disturbances. A smooth victory demonstrates the strength of the country. An army that can overcome unexpected events and win against the odds is an even more amazing and powerful army.
Therefore, the proposal of the two governors was approved by the ministers. They were not willing to defend blindly, but wanted to turn the offense into the best defense.
Faced with this high fighting spirit and commendable fighting spirit, Li Yan said: "Do you think that if you attack the rear of the Jin Kingdom, the gold master will lead his army to retreat?"
Everyone was slightly startled.
Isn't it?
Li Yan looked around at the ministers, just as he said in the academy lecture at that time: "You still don't understand the nature of this battle, and you are still focusing on ordinary military operations."
"Based on the situation in the Kingdom of Jin, we have lost a lot of land, people's livelihood is in turmoil, Buddha has been destroyed and Taoism has been abandoned, people are uneasy, and the army has long been a warrior. How can we start a war? This is equivalent to a seriously ill person who does not take care of himself and rest.
If you choose to take up arms and fight, you are really asking for death."
"But the financier just did this. He devoted all his national power to squeeze out his last breath, and he was desperate. He just didn't want the entire Jin Kingdom to die of 'sickness' on the bed."
"In ordinary battles, in addition to victory and defeat, there is also the possibility of retreating and making peace. But in this battle, the financier will not retreat and cannot retreat. This dying patient of the Jin Kingdom tried his best to come out. If there is no
The harvest was released in one breath. When the troops returned to the court, it was the time when the Jin Kingdom fell apart. The various tribes would no longer obey the orders of the Jurchens, and even the various Jurchen tribes would no longer listen to the orders of the Yan family."
"If what I predict is correct, the financial owner will make arrangements for his funeral before leaving and be prepared to die on the battlefield!"
The expressions of the officials suddenly changed.
The king of a country makes a will and the emperor goes to war in person?
Such an enemy and such an army are truly terrifying!
Li Yan said: "So, do you all understand why I came to the front line?"
The ministers were thoughtful.
According to the habit in class, the most obvious option of using one's body as bait is obviously incomplete. Zhu Wu was the first to answer: "Your Majesty is asking the financial owner to ride on a tiger?"
A smile overflowed from the corner of Li Yan's mouth, showing a look of approval.
Zhu Wu was encouraged, and knew that this meeting was to clarify the enemy and ourselves, so that the generals could be mentally prepared, so he explained in detail: "Since the gold master is making a desperate move, his goal is crazy, and he is aiming at our great Yan capital.
Come with His Majesty."
"After all, the capital is difficult to attack. This group of Jin troops had previously destroyed Goryeo and Liao, and had just plundered Xixia. Their military strength was at its peak, and they were arrogant. If they knew that His Majesty had left the capital and came to the front line, they would definitely swarm here."
"At that time, the Great Wall pass where Your Majesty is stationed will be the main battlefield. Even if the financial owner sees something is wrong and wants to avoid fighting, the tribal generals under his command will not agree."
"As a result, the Jin Army's cavalry advantage has been greatly reduced. They have been led by our army, and the pressure on the defense of the Great Wall has dropped sharply. And once there is a positional battle, who will our Yan Army be afraid of?"
Zhu Wu went from simple to complex, and Wu Yong went from complex to simple again, hitting the point: "Your Majesty personally came to the front line, which made our army's morale so high that the gold thieves lost their humanity. One person can be a million divisions!"
All the generals nodded.
"Report! Confidential military information of the camp!"
At this moment, a report came from outside the camp.
Before the Battle of Shanhaiguan broke out, military intelligence from the Secret Service arrived and warned that the Jin army had gathered at the border and had evil intentions, but the number was unknown.
As soon as the Battle of Shanhaiguan broke out, several times more spies were dispatched than before. The specific number of Jin troops was quickly analyzed based on logistics.
Li Yanzhan glanced a few times, then nodded and said: "The number mobilized by the Jin Army this time is between 100,000 and 120,000. This number is very restrained, and they are all elite."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Fortunately, our country has a policy of elite soldiers. Tens of millions of people support more than 100,000 elite soldiers. The soldiers are separated from production and train all day long, no matter in terms of treatment, food or salary.
, or pensions for meritorious service, are by no means comparable to the system outside the Great Wall where all citizens are soldiers."
"In terms of individual combat capabilities, our Yan army is definitely better than the Jin people, so there is no need to underestimate yourself!"
All the generals thought clearly and were sincerely convinced, and they said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Yan was actually lacking in specific marching formations, but his control of the overall situation and the king's psychology had reached the extreme. This pre-battle mobilization was intended to allow the generals to make clear judgments.
"Let the Jin people lose their peace first, and then their geographical advantage, and march to this place in one day!"
Time was running out, so Li Yan stopped talking. He held a pointer and marked a point on the map to determine his station, which was also the location of the main battlefield.
The eyes of the ministers gathered together and looked at a pass.
Gubeikou.
In ancient times, the main road was called the pass, the small road was called the entrance, and Shanhaiguan was the pass. Logically speaking, Gubeikou should not be an important pass, but on the contrary, historically, this is the most complete Great Wall system in the history of the Great Wall of China.
.
It is composed of the Great Wall of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, including four sections: Wohu Mountain, Panlong Mountain, Jinshanling and Simatai. It is the throat of the Liaodong Plain and Inner Mongolia to the Central Plains, and has always been a battleground for military strategists.
This place was first fortified in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. By the time of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, in order to prevent the Huns from the north from invading the border, he began to build a city and deploy troops here. Since then, countless wars have focused on capturing this place.
In one step, it became a bridgehead for foreigners to seize the Central Plains.
However, there was no Great Wall at Gubeikou in the early days. It was not until the Northern Dynasties of the Southern and Northern Dynasties that the Great Wall built by the Northern Qi Dynasty to defend against the Turks passed through Gubeikou and the Great Wall appeared for the first time. By the Tang Dynasty, there was a settlement area outside of the Xi people, so it was also called "
Xiguan".
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Xu Da to build the Gubeikou Pass. From then on, Juyong Pass in the northwest and Gubeikou in the northeast became the two important gateways to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Later, Jizhen defended Tai La Kua, and the Ming Dynasty suppressed Tan in the south.
Lun and Qi Jiguang were transferred to the north, and the Great Wall under the jurisdiction of Ji Town was repaired under the personal supervision of Qi Jiguang. It finally became a solid defense line with towering walls, numerous piers and towers, and beacons facing each other.
The same is true for Yanting. On this Great Wall line, which is more than 40 kilometers long, there are nearly 200 beacon towers, 16 passes, nine gates, and three barbicans.
Not only the border guards, Suo Chao's Peking Army and Zhang Qing's Zhenrong Army were stationed here.
Therefore, Wanyan Aguda wanted to enter the pass from here and go straight to the capital, but after a little observation, he retreated.
Even if he has an army of 100,000, he will not fight here. Such a defense system is simply not something that can be fought by humans...
But in less than a day, a purple flag that dominates the world has been clearly erected on the Gubeikou Great Wall, showing off its power to the Jin people's territory.
Declare war! Declare war!
The Great Yan Supreme, the monarch of the most powerful country in the world, is here!
Come here!
"Report! Mr. Yan personally marched to Gubeikou!"
After repeatedly confirming the news of the messenger, Wanyan Onai came to Wanyan Aguda and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, this is God's great help for me!"
Bad news came not long ago. Wanyan Zonghan suffered a setback at Shanhaiguan, which was beyond the expectations of everyone in the Jin Army. This unlucky start also cast a shadow on everyone's minds.
I didn't expect to hear such a good thing now. Not to mention that Wanyan was leading the third-ranked emperor's brother, all the armies were in a commotion, gearing up, and beaming with joy.
Only Wanyan Aguda was unhappy and worried: "Gubeikou?"
When Wanyan came to see him, he hurriedly whispered: "Your Majesty, Nianhan is still in a stalemate with Shanhaiguan. Now all the ministries have doubts. This opportunity must not be missed!"
Wanyan Aguda took a deep breath, his worries dissipated, he strengthened his spirits, summoned all the ministries, and issued a call: "Capture the Emperor of Yan Kingdom, the fertile land of the Central Plains will be our pasture!"
All the chiefs and generals cheered loudly: "Oh! Oh! Oh!"
Capturing the emperor alive, thousands of miles of fertile land, burning, killing and looting, what a joy!
But when the most powerful cavalry in the world was galloping like lightning, roaring and charging towards the pass, the scouts sent another message.
There was an army waiting out of the fortress in front, and it was the Peiping Army led by Suo Chao, commanded by Yan Ting.
But at this time, in addition to the word "suo", the handsome flag also raised a banner with the word "lu".
Among the generals who stood out from the crowd, a tall and majestic man, who looked like a god descending from the earth, stood out extremely:
"Lu Junyi, the commander-in-chief of Great Yan Zuo, is here, the golden thief will die!!"
