Some people say that the king of Han was so angry that he lay dead thousands of miles away.
No one can doubt the truth of this statement.
The Khitan people marched south in large numbers and invaded the territory of the Han Dynasty. At first, they fought back the aggressive 500,000 Khitan wolf cavalry, but only a few of them fled back in embarrassment. From Taiyuan to Datong, hundreds of miles away, corpses were everywhere. The Han army defeated the Khitan camp in Su County.
Afterwards, they took advantage of the victory and pursued it until they were less than thirty miles south of Datong Prefecture in Xijing of the Liao Kingdom. Only when Xijing's troops and horses were exhausted did they take back the remaining defeated soldiers.
"Let's leave Datong alone for now. Weiming Xiaoxiao's 400,000 troops have already pressed forward. Datong is a must-win for the Dangxiang people. Once they come, they can capture Datong Mansion, and Weiming Xiaoxiao will be able to avenge their previous humiliation.
Moreover, the main force of the Liao army is in Datong. Wei Mingxiao wanted to complete his victory in one battle. After taking Datong, he could direct his troops to Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing. Secondly, Datong is too close to the territory of our Han Dynasty, and it is still a military
As long as we capture Datong, an important town, it will be the second Swan City, which can directly threaten the safety of our great men."
Liu Ling smiled and said, "If Wei Mingxiao wants it, let him grab it."
"In Datong Prefecture, there are 200,000 defeated Liao troops. Although their strength is only half of that of the Dangxiang people, and the morale of the remaining defeated soldiers is low. And the 400,000 troops of the Dangxiang people are the most elite soldiers of Xixia. It stands to reason that Weiming Xiaoxiao is guaranteed to win. But
…”
Liu Ling gestured with his hands: "Rabbits will bite when they are anxious. Except for the tens of thousands of Khitans who fled directly back to Linhuang Mansion in Beijing, the entire Western Front force is in Datong. If they are defeated again, the Khitans will
There is no chance to turn around. Weiming Xiaoxiao is afraid that he will have to chew a hard bone. I have always admired the Khitan people's perseverance in fighting disasters."
"And Youzhou is our main target."
Liu Ling stood up and pointed in the direction of Youzhou in the northwest: "Aren't you always asking me where to set the capital? Some people advised me to make Jinling the capital. Jinling is indeed very good, prosperous, prosperous, and the people are rich, but singing and dancing are peaceful.
The atmosphere was too strong and lacked a little solemnity. Some people advised me to make Hangzhou the capital. The charm there is stronger and the smell of rouge is stronger. It’s not good. Some people advised me to return the capital to Taiyuan Prefecture. Taiyuan Prefecture
It is located in an important place west of Hexi and has always been an important town. Some people say that the capital will be in Jinzhou. The foundation has been laid and there is no need to change it."
Liu Ling pointed in the direction of Youzhou and said: "The most ideal place for the capital in my heart is right there, Youzhou!"
"Do you know why?"
Liu Ling himself gave the answer, two words, sonorous and powerful: "Guomen"
"The north of Youzhou is the territory of the grassland people outside the Great Wall. Although the Khitans were defeated by us, and Liaodong will soon be defeated, although the Khitans have collapsed, it does not mean that the grassland people have collapsed. It will not take many years.
Another grassland nation has risen to take the place of the Khitans. The Shiwei people in the deepest part of the grassland already have tens of thousands of people who can control strings, and the Mohe people have an army of hundreds of thousands! This should not be underestimated. Who knows which one will be the next Khitan? Youyou
The state has been designated as the capital, and I just want to tell the people that no matter who the enemy is, don’t even think about crossing the Great Wall again!”
Regardless of wishful thinking or obsession, Liu Ling will never change what happened in Youzhou no matter what.
"Zhao Er is suppressing the situation in the south. Jiangnan doesn't have to worry. If we try our best to solve the problems in the north, we can secure the country in a down-to-earth manner."
"Luofu"
Liu Ling ordered: "You stay in Daizhou. In addition to your own troops, I will also leave Li Qing's bow camp and Huo Guang's spear camp to you. Setting up suspicious troops in Daizhou will at least make people look satisfied.
It looks like an army of 150,000 people. I will erect my flag at the top of Daizhou City to prevent the enemies of Datong Prefecture from going south again, whether they are Khitan people or party members. Han Feihu knows the internal affairs of Khitan quite well, and I will send him
Also left to you. In addition, General Wang's troops in Fuzhou will attack Swan City at the right time, and you still have the responsibility to contain the party members. Once Wei Mingxiao returns to the army and cannot break through Swan City, he will definitely
Trying to break through from Daizhou puts a lot of pressure on your shoulders."
"Defend Daizhou, in the early stage, remember one thing, be strong!"
Liu Ling said: "Although your mission is to strictly guard Daizhou, you must not act like you can't defend. When the time is right, attack when it's time to attack. Don't let Wei Mingxiao see my arrangement. The stronger Wei Ming is, the more likely Wei Ming will be.
On the contrary, Yaoxiao will not doubt it."
"In the later stage, after General Wang has captured Swan City and blocked Wei Mingxiao's return journey, you have to take advantage of the opportunity. If the party's strength is weak, you attack; if the party's strength is strong, you hold on. How to adjust the size?
, it’s all up to you. I have ordered the food and grass from Taiyuan City to be transported here, which is enough for your troops to hold on in Daizhou for three years.”
He smiled confidently: "Even if it is difficult to attack Youzhou, Weiming Xiaoxiao will not be able to hold on for three years. How much food and grass can his army of 400,000 carry?"
Luo Fu knelt down on one knee, raised his fist across his chest, and said solemnly: "I will definitely live up to the prince's trust!"
Liu Ling grunted and said: "Xu Xuan, you take 10,000 troops as the vanguard to Youzhou. If you encounter Khitan troops along the way, annihilate them all if the enemy is weak, and entangle them if the enemy is strong. Wait for my army to arrive later."
There will be no obstacles on the way here. The Khitan team retreated to Datong and did not dare to come out at will."
Xu Xuan bowed and said: "I obey my orders!"
Liu Ling then ordered: "Hua Ling, the army is setting off, and everything is entrusted to you. Food, grass, and ordnance must be prepared."
Hua Ling said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my subordinates will start preparations early tomorrow morning."
Liu Ling waved his hand and said, "That's it. Everyone goes back to prepare. Three days later, the army will set off for Youzhou."
…
Luo Xu stood on a high slope, staring at the battle ahead.
"Qi Jun, lead three thousand cavalry to attack the Khitan's left wing. Zhao Zhong's offensive was blocked by the Khitan people. Roll over! Let the Khitan's left wing become chaotic!"
General Qi Jun said loudly: "I humbly obey my orders!"
Ordering three thousand cavalry, Qi Jun led his men and horses to attack the left wing of the Khitans. The horses' hooves crushed the remaining snow, and they were full of murderous intent. Although the Han army had few soldiers, its morale was like a rainbow. The Khitans just wanted to retreat to Youzhou, but were defeated by Luo Xu
The two sides fought fiercely for seven days and nights. The Khitans fought and retreated, formed a formation and retreated slowly. Luo Xu continued to send troops to attack the Khitan army, trying to push the Khitan army behind.
The team was defeated.
It's just that Yelu Chucai was very experienced in using troops, and the armies retreated alternately, so Luo Xu couldn't find a good opportunity to make a move.
"Ge Qing!"
Luo Xu shouted: "Let the people from Jingwu Camp prepare, I will send them into battle soon!"
The general named Ge Qing agreed loudly and immediately went down to prepare. The Jingwu Battalion under his command only had 1,200 people, which was far less than the establishment of a battalion. In the Han military system, one battalion had 10,000 soldiers.
There are 2,000 auxiliary soldiers, and every ten soldiers are equipped with five horses to carry equipment. The Jingwu Camp has only 1,220 people, but there are 2,400 war horses, 600 horses, and 2,400 auxiliary soldiers.
There were so many people. It was equivalent to two followers and two war horses for each person. This kind of treatment was only available to the heavy cavalry of the Shura Battalion and the heavy armored infantry of Kuangtu in the Han army.
As for why Jingwu Camp is treated like this, it is not because they are a regular elite unit similar to Shura Heavy Armor. In a sense, these 1,200 people are not even soldiers.
The men and horses of Jingwu Camp were carefully selected by Luo Xu from the green forest heroes who came to support from all over the country when the Han army defended Jizhou and Cangzhou. At that time, hundreds of thousands of heroes from all over the country went north to resist the Khitan people from south, and fought bloody battles in Cangzhou and Jizhou.
Zhongzhong made great military exploits. After Luo Xu returned to the Han Dynasty, he was reluctant to send all these people away. Most of them were classified as regular soldiers of the Han Dynasty and then trained rigorously. The most fierce and brave men among them were selected and formed the Jingwu Battalion.
In other words, the 1,200 people in Jingwu Camp are 1,200 desperadoes.
Ge Qing is the general of Jingwu Camp, and his personal martial arts is also outstanding among the entire Jizhou army. Although this man is not very tall and strong, and even looks quite thin, he uses an unusually wide two-handed sword.
Different from the Mo Dao, this sword is the thick-backed Huanshou Dao enlarged by two sizes. The handle and the blade of the Mo Dao are almost the same length. A brave man holding the Mo Dao has the power to tear both men and horses apart. The Huanshou Dao and the Hengdao are
They are quite similar in style, except that the back of the Huanshou knife is thicker and heavier.
Ge Qing's ring-headed sword weighs fifty kilograms, and it would be impossible for an ordinary person to dance it!
Ge Qing used to call his broadsword a horse-killing sword. Once he slashed it, it was indeed as powerful as the Mo Dao, but the handle of his sword was only a quarter of the blade's length, making it more difficult to swing.
Not long after, Ge Qing gathered the Jingwu Camp and returned to Luo Xu. Luo Xu led the generals to the front of the Jingwu Camp soldiers. After stopping, he slowly glanced at the group of people who were usually pampered by him.
The martial arts heroes standing there felt a sense of pride in their hearts.
He knew that strictly speaking, Jingwu Camp was not considered a soldier at all.
They are a group of murderous demons.
There are messy weapons, messy clothes, and even messy queues. But if they are released, they will become 1,200 evil wolves!
Luo Xu walked over slowly, took the wine bag from the hand of the Jingwu Camp soldier at the front and took a sip. The spicy taste entered his throat and burned down like fire.
“Good wine!”
Luo Xu wiped his chin and laughed and asked: "Can you still kill someone after drinking?"
The soldier clapped his chest and said loudly: "After drinking, it is easier to kill!"
"good!"
Luo Xu turned around and pointed at the four-meter-high banner in the center of the Khitan army and said, "Did you see it? That's Yelu Chucai's banner! Do you dare to chop it down for me?"
"dare!"
"What's there to be afraid of? Isn't it just cutting a wooden stake?"
“Don’t worry, General, I’ll chop off Yelu Chucai’s head and use it as a chamber pot for you!”
"good!"
Luo Xu shouted loudly: "I will send cavalry to attack you later to clear a way for you, and then you will kill Yelu Chucai and chop down Yelu Chucai's handsome flag for me! After Youzhou is conquered, I will capture the entire Youzhou city."
All the girls from the brothel will be hired for you, and all the fine wines in Youzhou City will be brought to you, so you can do whatever you want!"
"But there is one thing!"
Luo Xu took another sip of strong wine and said loudly: "Don't fucking embarrass me. If the silver wax gun tip is useless, go back and find a piece of tofu to kill yourself! I'll be with you.
Behind me, as soon as Yelu Chucai's commanding flag falls, I will immediately lead my troops to cover it up! The success of this battle depends entirely on you!"
"General, don't worry!"
Ge Qing cupped his fists and said: "Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, the general will just watch the men of Jingwu Camp make great achievements!"
He waved his hand fiercely: "Those who are afraid of death, stay, and those who are not afraid of death, fight with me!"
