Chapter 1697 Obedient to the people, the prototype of the empire (1)
In addition to the quick battle to conquer Daming Mansion, the surrounding military states under Hebei's control, including Dezhou, Enzhou, and Gaotang, faced the rebels' front and were now almost in danger of being conquered and lost.
Because in addition to Xiao Tang who led the cavalry and infantry troops to siege and capture Daming Mansion, there were also a combination of generals with Liu Fa and Xiao Jiasui in command, Zhu Wu as the marching strategist, and Han Shizhong, Yao Pingzhong, Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin and other powerful generals of the Western Army.
The Jin army suffered heavy setbacks one after another and had to deploy heavy troops to always pay attention to the land and water intrusion in the rear of Liaodong. The Jin army's soldiers and horses were distracted by one thing and the other, and their military morale was severely frustrated. However, they could really resist Xiao Tang's rebel army, whose morale and fortune now seemed to be at its peak?
The military intelligence and battle reports that occurred in the surrounding military states were also transmitted to the Daming Prefecture Left-behind Department like snowflakes one after another. They first intercepted the reinforcements at the border of Bozhou and tried to rush to Daming Prefecture, which was previously defended by the Jin Kingdom troops and surrendered auxiliary troops.
They had already won a great victory while quickly taking over the key areas of Beijing, the capital of the Song Dynasty. Even if it was a field battle, famous generals like Liu Fa would command and dispatch them. They would quickly assemble when the opportunity arose, outflank them in a roundabout way, cut off the retreat, and make surprise attacks...
The various tactics are brought into full play. It is said that there are no famous generals in the Jin Army to command the panic troops. Even if the famous generals of the Jin Army such as Yin Shuke and Wanyan Wushu are resurrected, the natural god general Liu Fatong is now able to control it in the same way.
Well-trained, battle-hardened generals and soldiers, the most adept at commanding troops and generals among the Jin army, may not be able to get an advantage in front of him.
What's more, Zhu Wu, the master of formations, arranged the formation according to the situation, and Han Shizhong, Yao Pingzhong, Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin... These are not only extremely capable of marching and fighting, but also have the ability to command troops and horses to break the front and break the formation.
Originally, the brave general who was no lower than the invincible Jin army who claimed to be all over the north, dragged the Jin army to exhaustion. Now he taught Liu Fa, who has a sharp eye, to capture the way and give the enemy a fatal blow.
The fighter planes rushed directly to Huanglong, and launched a fierce pincer attack from the left and right wings at the same time. Like two sharp blades, they cut the Jin Army's defensive formation into pieces. The charging rebel elite cavalry was like a wave of waves, killing the enemy in front of them.
The soldiers fell on their backs, and as the second wave of strong attacks came one after another, the flesh and blood bodies of the Jin Army soldiers and horses, which boasted of enduring hardships, could not withstand the weapons and sharp blades that were slashed at their heads and faces, leaving behind countless corpses and fled...
.
Liu Fa and Xiao Jiasui immediately took advantage of the approaching situation and captured the Bozhou administrative center first. Then they pointed their swords to the northwest and even entered Gaotang Prefecture.
Facing the aggressive offensive of the rebel forces led by Liu Fa and Xiao Jiasui, the Jin army stationed in Gaotang Prefecture had no choice but to defend and resist. However, it was not as good as Daming Mansion, a military strategic location with high trenches and deep trenches.
The Jin army, which was more adept at defending the city and fighting in the field, also dispatched its main troops to attack the city. However, they were extremely cautious. However, in addition to the strong rebel forces commanded by Liu Fa and Xiao Jiasui, there was another wave of anti-Jin volunteer troops.
Suddenly appeared behind the Jin army's soldiers and horses. Although the number was not large, according to the battle situation at that time, it also disrupted the Jin army's original deployment. And when the enemy turned around, intending to throw away a few volunteers, Liu
Fa immediately seized the opportunity and ordered Han Shizhong to lead his troops to launch a fierce attack from the front, while Zhai Xing and Zhai Jiner would outflank and intercept from both wings. The chasing troops were like a rolling torrent, breaking the formation, charging and shooting... It was also like
The tiger entered the flock and destroyed everything, and the Zhijiao Jin army suffered another rout.
Later, the Jin army was defeated and panicked. They fled to the Tuhai River Basin, which is located under Gaotang Prefecture on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Yellow River. It reaches the mainstay Mengjin in the east and crosses the Zishui River in the north. They immediately forcibly detained the local fish farmers when their boats were crossing the river. There was actually another
The water squad men who originally belonged to Xiao Tang's rebel army suddenly burst out from the dense reeds on the slope of the river embankment. The Jin army, which was not good at water warfare, was forced to get stuck in a marshy area and could not escape.
, Zhijiao, a group of brave soldiers from the anti-Jin army, surrounded and fired. The defeated Jin army trapped in the boat did not attack and fell into chaos. They were either killed by arrows or drowned in the harbor. Two or three thousand people died.
The deserters were all slaughtered before long...
In addition to the volunteers from various places who surrendered to Xiao and Tang, there are still scattered anti-Jin forces in Hebei. This is not surprising. However, when I saw in person those few members who helped to conquer the Jin army and the Tatars
When the volunteers took the lead, Xiao Jiasui, the deputy commander of the teaching army, couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Because they had also recruited some volunteers, the number was not too large, and the leaders who were almost annihilated by the Jin army when Liu Fa immediately ordered a full-scale attack were none other than Xue Yuanhui, Yu Zhi, and Wen Wenbao, the three leaders of Gaotang Prefecture
The commander of the Forbidden Army; as for the one who also pulled some young fishermen to attack the river and port branches to intercept the Jin army's retreat, it was Liu Menglong, the former naval commander of Jinling and Jiangning Prefecture in Jiangnan who had fought against Xiao Tang's green forest troops.
After all, among the brothers who are now gathered together in Dayi, Guan Sheng, Qin Ming, Zhang Qing, Suo Chao, Huang Xin, Shan Tinggui, Wei Dingguo... and most of them are not only former imperial officers and generals, but they also had conflicts due to their different positions.
They had fought and fought before. Apart from being a member of the bandits, committing serious crimes, and threatening his own brothers, Xiao Tang also understood that other imperial officers and generals who were eating royal food must also act according to orders and were willing to be lenient. What's more, he had also fought with
Xue Yuanhui considered himself a comrade in the war. Although he had captured these people, he released them all and returned to their respective lives.
However, at that time, the Gaotang Prefectural Government was broken, and Gao Lian, the brother of the Gaoqiu clan who still held the power of life and death in Bianliang, Tokyo, along with Yin Tianxi and other evil-doing relatives, were all killed by Xiao Tang. Xue Yuanhui and Yu Zhi,
If Wen Wenbao took the initiative to claim the crime, he knew very well that he would probably be killed by the furious Gao Qiu. Liu Menglong's situation was also ordinary. He was intercepted and besieged by eight naval forces in Liangshan, and all 15,000 naval forces were defeated.
Most of the five hundred large and small warships were captured by Xiao's rebel army. Even if Gao Qiu had been killed by many of Xiao Tang's leaders on Liangshan when he was released, holding him accountable for the defeat would be enough to make Liu Menglong decapitated.
In addition to being deposed from the official position, it is very possible to go directly to the Far Evil Army State to be exiled...
In other words, although the four commanders Liu Menglong, Xue Yuanhui, Yu Zhi, and Wen Wenbao were military commanders and had fought against Xiao Tang's green forest soldiers and horses, the four of them had long since become eternal heroes.
The abandoned son who was hired by the imperial court. Although Xiao Tang could not say that he knew the four of them thoroughly, when he captured Liu Menglong, Xue Yuanhui and others, he had seen their reactions of killing or beheading them as they pleased. It has to be said that they were somewhat
They have the integrity of soldiers, and the four of them have been in a slight decline for a long time. When the Jin Kingdom Tartars and the puppet Qi regime of Liu Yu's traitors were rampant for a while, they never planned to go to help the evildoers. Now they have defected to Xiao Tang to fight against the Jin Dynasty.
, also obeying the righteousness, so according to Xiao Tang's thinking, Liu Menglong, Xue Yuanhui and the other four people were not only willing to fight to the death to resist the Jin Dynasty, but also surrendered to the Song Dynasty as there was no hope, they should have sincerely surrendered.
And he is willing to work for himself and strive to gain fame and fortune.
But now Liu Fa and Xiao Jiasui's battle is going smoothly. Not only have they recaptured the two military prefectures of Bozhou and Gaotang Prefecture in one fell swoop, they have also recaptured Dezhou, the gateway to the northwest of Hebei Road and adjacent to Jingdong Road. Xiao Tang has reviewed the military intelligence documents.
After that, he suddenly murmured: "Even if the Song Dynasty will not stand by and let me expand on the pretext of regaining the lost state capital, the territory taken by the roads in Hedong, Hebei, and Jingdong today can almost be
If we are connected together, we can already have a stronghold and respect ourselves..."
