Chapter 758 Qianlong VS 'Crouching Dragon and Phoenix'
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Shi Wengong's body was like rain, soaked with sweat, but his breath seemed to be on fire. The armor on his back was damaged, and there were several long wounds. The flesh and blood were turned out. Even if three horses were replaced, they were still spraying.
White air, showing obvious fatigue.
This is obviously the state after a long battle.
However, Shi Wengong was extremely excited and did not feel any pain from his wounds. The more he fought, the more comfortable he became. At the same time, he no longer walked alone, commanding the three hundred cavalry companies behind him to charge back and forth together.
After this period of development, the cavalry team of the Township Corps has begun to take shape. The three hundred sets of armor are all sponsored by the Liao people. The horses under the crotches are funded by Chaijiazhuang, and Duan Jingzhu bought them from Yizhou of the Liao State.
The food and grass were provided by the Han family in Xiangzhou, and rice, grain and arrows were often sent from various villages.
The key is that the number of Liao people killed is increasing. From the previous siege of a small number of cavalry and a large number of servants, to the hostility to a certain size of cavalry, and now to the confrontation with the regular Liao army.
Therefore, Shi Wengong became more and more excited and rushed towards the Liao army's enemy formation. Even Suo Chao, who was not far away, was moved by it: "Brother is really discerning. This man is indeed a fierce general in this world!"
Lu Junyi could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. He didn't care who the instructor was or not. He also patted his horse and stepped forward: "Such a good martial arts, I'll compete with him!"
"This is a country soldier?!"
When Shi Wengong and Lu Junyi led the cavalry to charge, the momentum was like a torrent breaking through the river embankment, sweeping away all the obstacles in front of them. The Liao general who bore the brunt screamed strangely and made a retreat at the top of his lungs.
The order: "Retreat! Retreat! Return to Xiongzhou City quickly!"
late!
Not far away, the sound of killings broke out in Xiongzhou City. The soldiers and civilians inside worked together and cooperated with Zhu Wu, Shi Qian and others who had sneaked into the city to open the city gate and welcome the township troops.
When the morale outside collapsed and the fleeing Liao army was massacred, the rural soldiers began to skillfully treat the wounded, clean up the battlefield, take off their armor and continue to arm themselves, and bury the corpses to prevent epidemics. Li Yan rode a lion and stepped into this place.
In the border city that was lost and found.
Zhu Wu, who had set the first stop of the counterattack in Xiongzhou early, and Shi Qian, who was responsible for the specific liaison work, came up to him. They both clasped their fists and said, "Brother, we are lucky to live up to our mission!"
Li Yan looked at the city that was in ruins after being occupied by the Liao army, and sighed, but he nodded heavily at this loss and recovery: "Well done!"
Xiongzhou is one of the key areas in the defense line on the border between Song and Liao. The famous general Yang Liulang, also known as Yang Yanzhao, once guarded here. Its political significance is extremely important, because the envoys of Song and Liao came and went.
Pass through this state.
Now that the Township Corps has left Cangzhou, it has defeated the Liao army entrenched here with a thunderous force and retaken this border city. It may not have a decisive impact on the war situation, but at this juncture when various states and counties in Hebei are falling one after another, it is undoubtedly a decisive step.
A morale booster.
This tangible record shows hope to every Hebei person who wants to resist. The Liao people are not invincible. As long as they ignite the will to fight and join the rural corps, they can regain their homeland and let the Liao people regain their homeland.
Liao Gou paid the price with blood!
"After this battle, the township army has truly become a phenomenon. My brother is indeed a hidden dragon who can change the dynasty!"
Zhu Wu was in an agitated mood. During this period, he was responsible for contacting the rural soldiers in various states and counties. At first, no one was willing to believe it. Until the rural soldiers in Cangzhou became famous, he immediately arranged for Chen Da and others to publicize their achievements and form the Hebei rural soldiers united front.
.
Zhu Wu was very vigilant and did not promote the volunteer army to avoid being targeted by the court. However, he also highlighted his brother's achievements among the people, so that the people of Hebei would remember who led them to rise up and resist when the officers and soldiers were completely defeated.
With the publicity everywhere, rural soldiers continued to join, and the team grew rapidly. Now it has exceeded 10,000 people. The soldiers are inevitably mixed, so Zhu Wu came back this time as a formation instructor and began to pass on his experience in arranging troops.
.
Of course, he was also a little worried.
Because with the increase in the number of rural soldiers, the requirements for generals to lead troops are getting higher and higher. In Zhu Wu's view, including himself, Sui'an students are still unable to become independent generals, and the heavy burden has to be placed on them.
It's on my brother's shoulder.
Li Yan felt no pressure at all.
The talent effect of [The More the Better - General] is brought into play. Above the limit of troop leadership, based on the highest attributes, every 1 point can increase the troop troop limit by 500 people. He has a maximum of 40 points of luck, which means that even a small military officer
Bai can also lead 20,000 troops and become a self-taught general.
What's more, he himself has some basic knowledge in the military field, but he can't compare with those top generals. Not to mention that the current rural army regiment of more than 10,000 people can still be well organized even if it triples in size.
So after the Dangxiang Corps cleared the battlefield, they quickly took over the city at a speed that amazed Zhu Wu and began to arrange defenses in an orderly manner.
In the past, there was a leak in the house and it rained all night, and bad news came one after another. But now it seems that the situation of the war has reversed. Soon Zhu Dian also came to report: "Lin Yiyong, all the eight villages in Xiongzhou have been recaptured. The military advisor is waiting for you."
The corps is stationed."
Li Yan praised: "Good!"
Xiongzhou has Shuangliu, Hongcheng, Xinyuan, Qiguyuan, Dawu, Muchang, Sanqiao, and Zhangjia Bazhai. During the battle between the township corps and the Liao army, Chao Gai and Wu Yong took advantage of the situation to attack and led the green forest heroes to defeat
The Liao army, which was divided into two groups, recaptured the fortress.
From then on, the defense system of this border state and county was returned to the hands of the Song people. Even if the main force of the Liao army returned to the defense and attacked Xiongzhou again, the township army had room to retreat. Li Yan was very grateful.
However, he had a new view on the next strategic deployment: "Please King Chao Tian and Military Advisor Wu continue to gather the refugees and resettle the people in the major forts. The same will happen in Xiongzhou City. We cannot let the Liao army continue to poison the place."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhu Dian was startled: "A war will break out in Xiongzhou next. Shouldn't the people be sent to Cangzhou to take refuge?"
Li Yandao: "Cangzhou is vast, but its development level is not high. Nowadays, a large number of people have poured into it, and it is no longer affordable. Since we have recaptured Xiongzhou, we will naturally continue to resettle the refugees here. What do you think, Military Advisor Wu?"
Zhu Tong immediately conveyed Wu Yong's words: "The outside of Xiongzhou City has been destroyed by the Liao people. If you want to defend the city, you must strengthen the walls and clear the country outside, prevent the Liao people from continuing to manufacture siege equipment, reserve food internally, and work together... But press
In the opinion of the military advisor, it is not the time for the township army to engage in a head-on offensive and defensive battle with the Liao army, but it should continue to travel to various states to cooperate with us, constantly blocking the Liao dogs from obtaining food and grass, and draining their morale!"
Wu Yong's military literacy is very high, there has never been any problem with tactics, and his strategic control this time was extremely accurate. Li Yan said happily: "It is true that we must make certain preparations, but as far as I can see, the main force of the Liao army is very
Maybe they won't turn around and attack us."
Zhu Tong found it difficult to understand: "The township army's retaking of Xiongzhou City has already posed a substantial threat to the rear of the Liao army. How can the Liao people just sit back and watch?"
Li Yan smiled slightly: "I have just received the exact news that Emperor Tian Zuo has arrived in Hebei on his own expedition. It must be that the Liao Emperor, who avenged his mother, could not lose his face and ordered the main force to turn around and come back to deal with our rural army.
"
…
"For a group of country soldiers, stop the attack on Daming Mansion and Zhending Mansion? Master, don't be ridiculous!"
In Dingzhou City, Yelu Yanxi looked at Xiao Wuna who rushed from Yingzhou, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Xiao Wuna said earnestly and sincerely: "Your Majesty, please do not underestimate this group of rural soldiers. If they can retake Xiongzhou City, they are already the combat power of the regular army. They are growing continuously at this time. You must not sit back and watch such a powerful army entrenched in the city."
rear!"
Yelu Yanxi looked disdainfully: "Strengthening the army? Taifu, you are exaggerating. Can these mere rural soldiers be able to defeat my Oruduo, or can they withstand the charge of the Pishi Army's cavalry?"
Xiao Fengxian, who was standing next to him, also sneered: "The Imperial Guards of the Southern Dynasties are so vulnerable. How can they turn defeat into victory with the help of a group of humble countrymen? What a joke!"
Xiao Wuna was anxious: "Your Majesty, we have not yet won. Daming Mansion and Zhending Mansion have not been captured. These two important cities are the real barriers that prevent us from going south, especially the control of Heshuo and the key to the north gate.
' Daming Mansion, this place has blocked our Khitan cavalry from going south many years ago. Now that other places have fallen one by one, the Song people will defend here desperately. If we can't take the Song people's northern capital, if we continue to go south, it will still be unavoidable.
In the predicament of fighting alone, the previous advantages are gone!"
Yelu Yanxi did not listen carefully, because in his eyes, there was no what if: "Then capture Daming Mansion, destroy the northern gate of the Song Dynasty, and see what else they have to rely on, not only the land of Hebei... You guys
come over!"
He stood up, and Xiao Wuna and Xiao Feng followed first. They saw the young Emperor Tianzuo coming to the map. With a wave of his hand, it seemed as if 200,000 cavalry had swept across the Song Dynasty with overwhelming force: "I have mobilized three
Wan Oruduo sent troops to Hedong, and then ordered the emperor's younger brother to send troops from Yanji to Shandong!"
Xiao Feng was stunned first, while Xiao Wuna's expression changed drastically and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, what does this mean..."
Yelu Yanxi told his ingenious plan: "The only warworthy army in the Southern Dynasties is the Western Army competing with Xixia for the Hengshan land. Once we, Daliao, capture Taiyuan Prefecture, we can block the Western Army's return reinforcements and even fight with them."
Xixia cooperated and completely destroyed the Song Dynasty’s Western Army!”
"As for the land of Shandong, it should have been owned by Daliao for a long time. The iron cavalry went south from Yanji. Who can stop it? When the time comes, the Sanluhui and Bianjing City, the official of the Southern Dynasty will not be trembling, but directly
Open the city gate and surrender, hahaha!"
Xiao Wuna's head was dizzy. The thing he was most worried about happened. This great man's habit of rejoicing in success happened again. He hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, think twice. Although our Liao army is powerful, we must not divide our troops into three groups.
Especially when the army has a slight chance of victory, its discipline is loose and its command is improper. Only by jointly attacking Hebei can victory be established..."
Yelu Yanxi waved her hand proudly: "I have made up my mind. There is no need to say more, Taifu. I will leave the military affairs of Hebei to you. Just take Daming Mansion for me as soon as possible!"
Xiao Wuna walked out of the government office, was stunned for a long time, and sighed: "As long as the emperors of the Southern Dynasties are a little wiser, I am afraid that Daliao will be defeated miserably in this battle!"
…
"Please go south to avoid the Khitan attack!"
In the palace of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji was sitting on the dragon chair. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that a minister finally spoke his heart.
