Liu Ling was stationed in Cangzhou, and the Khitan army temporarily retreated after suffering heavy losses. However, because of Yelu Xiongji's decree, Yeluji, who wanted to preserve his strength, had to launch an attack again. The two sides fought fiercely outside Cangzhou City for a day, and the Khitan people
The attack on the plains was extremely sharp, and the defense of the Han coalition was impeccable. On the frontal battlefield, where the confrontation was the most direct and fierce, the Han army led by Yang Ye was equipped with a repeating fire ballista. Such a big killer, especially
The lethality against the cavalry was like a cheat in the game. The Khitans were afraid and did not dare to attack again.
As a result, the pressure on Luo Xu and Zhu Sanqi suddenly increased. Liu Ling took command from the center and ordered the Han army to rescue. The Khitan people must attack with all their strength and be prepared for the Han army's surprise attack from the flanks. A fierce battle took place all day long.
In the end, both sides lost more than 10,000 people, and the Khitans returned without success.
Yeluji was really a little depressed. He had never thought that a small city of Cangzhou would give him such a big resistance. He had already begun to regret it. If he had known that Cangzhou would be so difficult to conquer after Liu Ling came, he might as well have captured Cangzhou early in the morning.
Next. Now he is riding a tiger, unable to advance, let alone retreat. If it continues like this for a long time, firstly, the supply of food and grass in the rear will not be enough, and secondly, if his younger brother Yelu Deguang really leads the army to support
If so, I'm afraid that the Marshal of Nanzhengdu will really have to be replaced by someone else.
So Yeluji was very depressed, with a sad look on his delicate and handsome face.
Compared with Yeluji's sorrow, Liu Ling's face became more and more relaxed. In the past few days, more and more reinforcements have arrived from all over the country. Although most of them are reckless people, there are as many as more than a thousand people, and as few as
There were dozens of people, but just like the water of rivers and lakes flowing into the sea, the total number was also huge. What Liu Ling really didn't expect was that the leader of the Green Forest Alliance recommended by the northern rivers and lakes turned out to be the one who had repeatedly fought and failed.
Yang Yishan, the invincible Xiaoqiang who has been defeated many times.
Yang Yishan first took advantage of the opportunity of the war between the Later Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty to rebel in Shouzhou. As a result, he was killed by the Zuowuwei army of the Great Zhou Dynasty led by Han Geng and was completely defeated. Yang Yishan, who survived the disaster, fled north with more than a hundred of his cronies, and suffered a complete defeat along the way.
A team of more than 30,000 people was gathered, but Zhao Tieguai intercepted him and beat him severely. After the team was broken up, Yang Yishan took dozens of people and fled to the northwest mountains. They were killed by the Khitan people.
After leaving the mountains, Yang Yishan fled again. He went all the way south back to the territory of Dazhou and lay dormant for a few days. Later, the situation in Dazhou gradually became chaotic, and uprisings continued in various places. Yang Yishan once again raised the banner of rebellion. Within a year, there was another
A huge team of more than 100,000 people was raised. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The newly appointed Zuowuwei General, Han Yizhi, the son of the original General Han Geng, led Zuowuwei and defeated it again.
Yang Yishan escaped again, and his escape was quite successful. Compared with his experience in rebellion, he had more experience in escaping. At the time, there were several big leaders who were stronger than him or had similar strength, such as Xiao Pojun and Liu Shalangdu.
Even though he died, he was the only one who was still alive and well.
After Yang Yishan fled to the north of the Yellow River, he concealed his identity and secretly recruited heroes to work for him. After two years of development, he was actually elected as the general manager of Hebei Green Forest Road.
Liu Ling was surprised that Mr. Yang brought his men to Cangzhou to fight against the Khitans. Yang Yishan was afraid of death and cunning. Liu Ling didn't think that such a person, even as the highest-ranking person on the Green Forest Road in Hebei, would
They risked their lives by running here. After all, the current Hebei Green Forest Road has been combed through by Zhao Tieguai and Pei Zhan, and it is difficult to see a large-scale team again.
And Yang Yishan came, bringing with him a team of more than 3,000 people that he had worked hard to pull up. Under his call, those loners on the Hebei Green Forest Road, those little gangsters and grass bandits, those who usually hide in the dark
All the heroes came out, gathered together, and stood beside the Cangzhou defenders.
No one thought that one day, the officers and soldiers would fight side by side.
No one would have thought that in terms of bloodiness, those gangsters were no worse than the officers and soldiers, and were even stronger than many officers and soldiers.
Within six or seven days, more than 30,000 Green Forest soldiers and county soldiers from various states and counties came from all over the country. As a result, the total strength of the Han coalition forces exceeded 100,000. Five thousand people were used to defeat 300,000.
Liu Ling was not sure, but with one hundred thousand to fight two hundred thousand, Liu Ling was confident. Even if some of the one hundred thousand Han coalition forces were green forest heroes with no discipline at all.
Another news from the Supervisory Council also surprised Liu Ling again. He heard that the Han army was fighting the Khitan army in the north, and the Southern Tang army that had begun to gather in the south of Shuzhou actually slowly retreated.
Li Liaoyuan, the general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, wrote a letter to Du Yi, who was guarding Shuzhou. The content of the letter was that if the Khitans were not defeated for a day, the Tang soldiers would not go north to recapture the ten lands that originally belonged to the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Four states land.
This is a seemingly idiotic and idiotic decision. If it is explained by national justice, it can barely be justified. But Liu Ling knows that in these troubled times, there is not much national justice to speak of. For the countries south of the Yangtze River, the Khitans and the
There is almost no difference between Zhou people and Han people, they are all northerners. Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty was actually willing not to take advantage of others' danger, and I don't know what his truest thoughts were.
In any case, Liu Ling felt a little more at ease as he had no worries at home.
After two years of fighting, the Han army and the Zhou army were actually a little tired. If the Tang soldiers took the opportunity to go north at this time, the Southern Tang army, which had been recuperating for so long, might not be able to take back the fourteen states. Of course,
Liu Ling would never just watch the land that had been assigned to his name be snatched away. Yes, it was Zhou Chai Rong who snatched those fourteen states from the Southern Tang Dynasty a few years ago.
Morally speaking, it is not a shameless thing for the Southern Tang Dynasty to take advantage of the civil strife of the Great Zhou Dynasty to recapture the fourteen states. On the contrary, there is a sense of satisfaction in revenge. But Liu Ling does not think so. Those fourteen states now do not belong to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It's Liu Ling's private property. Private property is not allowed for others to get involved.
Liu Ling often said to his generals and soldiers: "If we don't recruit others to bully us, others can't bully us. Even if we bully others, others still can't bully us. If anyone dares to come, I don't care about you."
How do you fight? Be ruthless, shameless, and do whatever you can, but you can’t suffer a loss."
Du Yi is a qualified general. Although the Southern Tang soldiers seem to be holding their breath and are well-trained, they have not fought with real swords and guns for a long time. The honor guard is more beautiful than anyone else, but the honor guard
It doesn't necessarily mean that you will be effective if you go to the battlefield. This is not because Liu Ling despises the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but because of his self-confidence.
Liu Ling's order to Du Yi was that if the Southern Tang Dynasty dared to snatch a brick from Shuzhou, you would massacre two states of the Southern Tang Dynasty. If the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty dared to besiege Shuzhou, you would fight them as far as Jinling.
Go and beat Li Yu until he kowtows and admits his mistake.
This is Liu Ling's self-confidence, and it is also the self-confidence of the generals under Liu Ling's command.
Wang Banjin's 200,000 troops faced off against the Xixia general Li Hunu's 300,000 troops. The two sides faced off on the western border of the Northern Han Dynasty. There were confrontations every day, but they were still in the testing stage. Li Hunu and
Wang Banjin, one of these two people is a leader of the new generation in the Xixia army, deeply trusted and loved by Wei Mingxiao. The other is an old fox with half a lifetime of combat experience, and is also valued by Liu Ling. It can be said that,
These two people can be regarded as a match in chess and a good talent. As for Zhou Yangong, who was sent to the army by Liu Ling's order, what he had to do was to help Wang Banjin and prevent him from making mistakes.
There is no need to worry too much about matters in the northwest. There is no point in worrying. One-third of the troops have been thrown over. If the party members cannot be stopped, Liu Ling can only lead the troops to put out the fire.
After arranging the defense of Cangzhou, Liu Ling returned to his Chinese army tent. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a familiar but also unfamiliar white figure, sitting on his handsome chair and drinking tea by himself.
.Now in this world, the only person who has the ability to quietly enter Liu Ling's tent and dares to sit on Liu Ling's chair and relax, is the unparalleled Mr. Nie.
"When did you come back?"
Liu Ling was not surprised, but lay down on the bed behind the desk and let out a long and comfortable breath. Since Nie She was back, it meant that there was someone who could not go back.
"I've only been back two hours, and I was hungry. I went to the kitchen to have a look, but there was nothing to eat."
Nie She didn't even open his eyes and said a little tiredly.
Liu Ling called the soldiers outside and asked the cook to make some food and bring it to them. Obviously, Liu Ling's soldiers were shocked and surprised that there was an extra person in the tent for some reason. They just stood guard.
At the door of the tent, they didn't even notice when Nie She came in. However, Liu Ling's soldiers knew Nie She. When they saw clearly the guy sitting on the prince's chair, the soldiers' guard relaxed a little.
A little slower. But he still subconsciously moved forward, quietly protecting Liu Ling behind him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Nie is my friend."
Liu Ling said with a smile.
"Besides, if Mr. Nie wants to do something, you can't stop him."
After the soldiers left, Liu Ling asked: "Is it difficult?"
Nie She frowned: "It's not difficult, it's very troublesome."
He said: "I am not a cat, but I still want to do cat things. It always takes some effort to catch a mouse that has entered a hole."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "Especially, the mouse that drilled the hole is still the strongest in the world."
Nie She raised his eyebrows: "The cat is also the strongest one." (To be continued)
