On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, the third day after the city of Dezhou was captured, Nayan, the commander of the Donglu King's tent guard, led more than a thousand riders and were wiped out in the southeastern part of Cang County, Hejian Prefecture. Less than a hundred riders escaped. This was because
The Great Victory of Cangnan. This was also one of the few great victories of the Dai Viet Dynasty that could be announced on the stage since the Donglu invaders invaded.
Since the battle in Jiyin, a total of thirty-seven Ezhen warriors from the Nayan tribe, including Ye Jinayan, have died in battle. They are mainly descendants of the Yeji family of the Donghu royal family and the Nahe family of the great family.
Ye Jina Yan and Ye Jina Tuzhen are the nephews of the great prince Ye Ji Luorong.
Ye Jinayan is even regarded as the rising star of Donghu. At his age, Ye Ji Er Khan and Ye Ji Luo Rong directly commanded less than 300 elite warriors who could compare with the Wang Zhang soldiers. Although they were twenty years ago
Donghu is still very weak, but it also reflects Ye Jinayan's outstanding status among the young generals of Donghu.
For the Ye Ji family of the Donghu royal family and the Nahe family, the heavy losses in the battle of Cangnan can even be compared with the battle of Gaoyang. Although the battle of Gaoyang cost more than 6,000 casualties, the number of direct battle casualties was
There were less than 2,000 people, and less than thirty Ezhen warriors died in the battle, let alone the royal family's children on the battlefield.
In the battle of Cangnan, the casualty ratio of Ezhen warriors, who were regarded as Donghu nobles, was so high. In addition to the reason that nearly 500 Wang Zhang soldiers were wiped out one after another, they were recruited by Ye Jinyan in Yangxin, Jiyin and other places.
There were eleven groups of Outpost Rangers coming to join the battle.
Although most of the commanders of these outpost rangers are only low-level officers at the Xiaoqi level, because Yezier Khan requires the direct descendants of Yeji, Nahe and other tribes to have experience in outpost reconnaissance before officially leading the army, they are responsible for
Most of the low-ranking officers of the Outpost Rangers are from Erzhen warrior background.
******************
Lin Fu rode a horse and inspected the battlefield, escorted by dozens of fine knights.
Every time the generals cleaning the battlefield picked up a silver domino, they would announce it loudly and excitedly. Those who knew how to ride a horse would cut off the thieves' heads and tie them to the dominoes, then use a spear to pick them up on the battlefield.
Going back and forth to show off.
"Sir, haha, as you expected, Ye Jinayan, this turtle son, really froze to death in the river," the first battalion sentry general who walked to the river embankment, Guan Ma Pohou, raised a shining golden weapon.
The dominoes strode towards Lin Fu and said loudly, "The river is frozen tightly again. We have to break through the ice to dig out his body..."
Lin Fu was also quite excited. He took the gold domino from Ma Pohou's hand, raised it up and squinted at it, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing. The others have to be cut off. Ye Ji Nayan's body needs more work to dig out."
, of great use!”
Since the early years of the late emperor, the soldiers and civilians in Jiliao area have been fighting against the Donghu people. There have been more than ten battles and countless small battles, and they have a relatively clear understanding of the internal situation of the Donghu people.
Donghu originated from the Burun Mountains, which is often called the Xiaoxing'an Mountains in later generations. It didn't take long for the Donghu tribes to leave the Bulun Mountains and establish their khanate. It only took 30 or 40 years for Yejier to become the second generation Khan of the Donghu.
king.
The direct descendants of the tribe and the royal family who were the first to join or form an alliance with the Yeji family constituted the aristocratic class of the Donghu people. Since the Donghu people were integrated into farming and fighting, most of the military attachés in the Donghu army were served by aristocratic children, also known as Ezhen warriors.
Just like the Han people who use dental plaques and the ribbons that tie them together as identity symbols, the original Donghu people also hung a string of dominoes around their necks to mark their identities, which were ground from animal bones. Generally, the front dominoes of warriors are inlaid with silver thread on the edges.
To distinguish them, the dominoes of the royal family are even more special. They are inlaid with gold wire or pearls and jade for decoration, and the bone materials and grinding technology are more exquisite. They are not bad as high-quality handicrafts.
Ye Jinayan, Ye Jinatu is a descendant of the Ye Ji family of the Donglu royal family. He is the prince of the Donglu and the nephew of Ye Jiluorong, the commander of the northern cavalry of the Donglu invaders. Lin Fu has long been captured from the prisoners.
I know it from my mouth. The main result of annihilating nearly a thousand Dongpi cavalry in the battle of Cangnan can be said to be the heads of these two people.
Lin Fu threw the golden domino of Ye Jinyan's identity to Ma Pohou, letting him show off for some time, and then handed it over to the labor camp. He then reined in his horse and returned to Xiaobotou Village.
Although they had all the advantages in this battle, the Jiangdong Left Army was still a very young army. It lacked combat experience, sometimes lacked courage, and sometimes was too aggressive. When encircling and annihilating the bandits, they paid many unnecessary casualties. Congji
Since the battle in Yinxi, more than 300 Jiangdong Zuojun generals have died in battle. Including those who were injured and temporarily reduced in number, the total number is close to a thousand.
If it were a mature army, with such a huge advantage, it could completely avoid such a large degree of combat attrition.
But no matter what, it was a brilliant victory. Especially since the Donglu invaded, the Jiangdong Left Army's victory was particularly dazzling due to the poor appearance of other defenders and King Qin's division. The morale of the Jiangdong Left Army also soared.
To the extreme, such a high proportion of combat attrition did not affect the high spirits of the generals at all, and the mood of the villagers in Cangnan was also very high, as if blood had been avenged and hatred had been avenged.
"Sir," as soon as Lin Fu returned to Xiaobotou Village, Sun Fengyi, the head of the Sun family in Xiaobotou Village, greeted him enthusiastically, "I looked everywhere for you and couldn't find you..."
"Mr. Sun, what do you want from me?"
"What kind of sir is not sir? Who dares to claim to be sir to you? Sir, please just call me by my humble name," Sun Fengyi said with narrowed eyes, "In this battle, my lord has relieved the hatred of the Cangnan children and avenged them. Many people know that
Your Excellency also wants to lead the Jiangdong Left Army to fight the enemy in Yannan. They all came to me and asked me to intercede with you and allow them to join the Jiangdong Left Army to fight the enemy side by side. They all have a blood feud with the bandits..."
"I happened to be looking for Mr. Sun..." Lin Fu said, and ordered the guards to send people to find Sun Shangwang, as well as Lin Mengde, Cao Zi'ang and Sun Wenbing who were not tasked with organizing the army.
Although the battle in Cangnan was a great victory, the situation was still very serious. However, Sun Fengyi and the villagers in Cangnan were in high spirits and became very optimistic. This was mainly because they did not know the strength of the Donglu troops who invaded this time.
, the battle in Cangnan would not be able to damage the bones of the invading Donglu at all, and might even provoke the Donglu to send a large number of cavalry to counterattack Cangnan.
************
"What, we must be prepared to evacuate Cangnan before tomorrow evening!" Sun Shangwang's voice suddenly rose an octave, and he stood up suddenly, his face flushed with excitement, and said, "With the power of Cangnan's great victory, Cangnan's descendants Xian
I will send your Majesty to use your orders, and then send a fast horseman into Shandong to spread the word to the world, so that the villagers who fled from the south will return to the north, and build a stronghold to defend it. Your Majesty will surely be able to stop the pirates from counterattacking and perform great feats again..."
Sun Fengyi also poured cold water on him. He did not expect that Lin Fu would decisively decide to evacuate Cangnan. He said: "What should I do with the villagers in Cangnan Village? They are fully expecting to follow you to kill the bandits. You cannot abandon them."
!”
Lin Fu sat there and said quietly: "We are full of passion, but we cannot sacrifice our lives in vain. Those who fear the enemy and avoid war are not heroes. What good will it do to the country and the people to fight against barbarians with only passion?
Shang Wang knows how strong the bandits are. Unless we are greedy for life and afraid of death, we would not dare to fight the enemy to the death. However, it is not the best idea to defend Xiaobotou Village..."
"Your Excellency is by no means a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." Sun Fengyi felt that his tone just now was too harsh. He knew that if Lin Fu was a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, he would not be able to achieve a great victory in Cangnan, so he hurriedly softened his words, "But the situation in front of us is very good.
It would be a pity to give up like this..."
"..." Lin Fu smiled and said, "You are all wrong. I want the villagers of Xiaobotou Village and other Cangnanwuzhai to be ready to evacuate before tomorrow. A large number of Donglu cavalry are gathering in the north of Dezhou.
From receiving the trust to sending a large group of cavalry to counterattack, it only takes four or five days at the fastest, leaving us not much time to retreat. The villagers of Cangnan Wuzhai can hold on to this day, which is not a waste of time, but the people of Cangnan cannot
They were sacrificed in vain, let alone plundered and enslaved by the Donglu... I and the Jiangdong Left Army will not leave. We will continue to stay in Yannan to fight and contain the Donglu cavalry to relieve the pressure on Jinan Prefecture and Gyeonggi. This is how I lead the army to advance.
Yan Nan's main goal is one that I will not give up easily before the Donglu are repulsed."
Only then did Sun Fengyi and Sun Shangwang realize that they had misunderstood Lin Fu. They blushed and felt a little embarrassed. After being silent for a while, Sun Shangwang said: "There are four Wu villages in Cangnan that have not been breached by the enemy, housing more than 5,000 villagers.
...Although none of the counties in Linzi Prefecture were captured, the enemy's cavalry penetration was extremely strong. The defense capabilities of Yangxin and Bincheng counties were quite poor. If they avoided entering the city, they could only lure the enemy to attack. I'm afraid they would have to wait until
Linzi Prefecture may have to go to a big city further south to avoid the enemy. There are 5,000 villagers, old, weak, women and children, so it will be difficult to evacuate to the south of Linzi Prefecture before the cavalry arrives..."
"Yes, it's not just Linzi Funan. I hope you will withdraw all the way to Jimo and then stop." Lin Fu stood up and pointed to the map on the table for Sun Shangwang and Sun Fengyan to see. Withdrawing to Jimo (i.e. Qingdao City) means having to cross the entire
The Shandong Peninsula reaches the southern coastal area of the Shandong Peninsula, and the straight-line distance is 700 miles. "In addition to hoping that you will go to Jimo to avoid the enemy, I also want you to confuse the cavalry who are about to counterattack in Cangnan, thinking that our Jiangdong Left Army is here.
After this war, they all retreated to southern Shandong..."
"..." Sun Shangwang and Sun Fengyi looked at each other. The problem Lin Fu gave them was too big. It was almost a thousand miles away from Cangzhou to Jimo. It was natural for the left army from Jiangdong to march to Jimo easily. Cangnan
The villagers only set out three or four days ahead of the Luqi. It was impossible to reach Jimo before the Luqi. However, Lin Fu asked them to lure the enemy to facilitate the Jiangdong Left Army's activities in Yannan.
And can't refuse.
"We won't let everyone walk on their feet, because if they walk for a month, they won't be able to reach Jimo. The old, weak, women and children, as well as hundreds of wounded soldiers of the Jiangdong Left Army, will take the sea route by boat, and the young and strong will go by land to meet at Jimo. If there is any enemy situation on the way,
If you are in a hurry, you can also take shelter in the city..." Lin Fu said, "Nearly 800 horses were captured on this battlefield and were not damaged. The Jiangdong Left Army will replace 800 mules and horses for you, so you have to use them.
These 800 mules and horses and the young men of Cangnan pretend to be the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army retreating south to southern Shandong. You attract a group of captives to chase south, while I lead the Jiangdong Left Army to move in Yannan. Only in this way can we
Contain more captives and ensure that Jinan Prefecture is not lost!"
"Ship? Where is the boat?" Sun Shangwang and Sun Fengyi asked in confusion. When the cavalry came, all those who could escape by boat had left. There were still a few broken fishing boats in Cangnan, but they could not accommodate two or three thousand old people.
The weak women and children fled to Jimo by sea.
"The Jiangdong Zuojun has a ship parked in the east of Yangxin County, but the wind direction has been unfavorable to the northbound these days, so it has never come. Now there are no enemies in Cangnan to harass them. Even if they use men and mules to pull the ship, they can pull it tomorrow
Come to Cangnan to take people out to sea..." Lin Fu said.
