Chapter 2029 Tian Zongyingcai, famous general Liu Qi
The mighty armies of the Qi Dynasty and the Song Dynasty came along the forefront of the defense line in the east of the capital. Most of the military strongholds were captured and broken through without even firing a single shot. Many generals of the Song army were unwilling to fight to the death with the Qi Dynasty.
, only intending to muddle along and settle the matter. Facing the Qi Dynasty's sudden and fierce attack, they were already panicking. Those who knew they were outmatched immediately led their troops to abandon the stronghold and flee. However, the unstoppable Qi army did not take the opportunity to massacre the Song Tingbing soldiers who were also from the Han family in the Central Plains.
Horses, some military villages and towns, the Qi army came and the Song army left, which quite meant a peaceful handover.
Of course, there were some Song generals who immediately opened the city gates and led their officers and soldiers to surrender as soon as they discovered that the Qi army was invading. After all, the armies of the Song Dynasty were still inferior to the Yue family army selected and promoted by Yue Fei.
Many generals were so tenacious and good at fighting that they refused to give up. They were driven in and killed by the Jurchen Jin army commanders, and they went straight to Bianliang in Tokyo. Not to mention the generals of all ranks in the Song army and the ordinary soldiers of the Qi Dynasty, they hardly have any hatred towards Qi Dynasty.
At least at this time, many Song Army generals felt that it was not worth losing their lives if they died fighting for the imperial court against the Qi army...
Even though there were a few generals on the border who tried to resist the surprise attack of the Qi army, they were unable to coordinate with their colleagues to rescue them. They had to fight desperately under the protection of a small group of soldiers and escaped in embarrassment until the defeated army had fled far away.
When he reined in his horse and turned around to look around, he could only look angrily at the large flags that had been set up in the town where he was guarding.
After all, this was not a war between the two countries, but it was important to submit a letter of war first and then make a war. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qi Dynasty once again sent out troops brazenly, started an undeclared war, and launched a full-scale raid on the military strongholds guarding Bianliang in Tokyo.
At that time, the Song troops on the border were in a panic. However, after the Qi troops invaded dozens of miles of the Song territory, they had to stop until they reached the Yongqiu area and continued to attack Tokyo.
The progress of Bianliang.
Because the Song Dynasty general, who was in charge of Yongqiu and was in charge of the surrounding garrison troops guarding the water passes, was in charge of all the armies in the capital and appointed envoys, and Liu Qi was in charge of the marching army.
Liu Qi, who had a close personal relationship with Xiao Tang, had been fighting with his father Liu Zhongwu since he was a child. He was originally a talented person who could lead the army and fight in battle. He also had rich experience in battles and was already the leading general in the Song Dynasty. But now.
With the emotion of finally facing a decisive battle with Xiao Tang and Qi Dynasty, he summoned all the generals from the Gyeonggi Capital Command to go to the military to discuss strategies to resist the Qi Dynasty's army.
When he first met Xiao Tang, Liu Qi was still a young and talented general who had just shown his prowess. Now he has a frosty look on his eyebrows. At this time, he was sitting at the head of the handsome tent and looking around, quite like a general.
Even Liu Qi noticed that some of the generals in the commander's tent looked hesitant and frightened, but he already said loudly and forcefully: "During the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, Zhenyuan ordered Zhang Xun to lead the soldiers and civilians to defend Yongqiu, and gathered four soldiers to guard Yongqiu.
Thousands of residents defended the city for more than 60 days. After more than 300 large and small battles, they ate with armor, bandaged their wounds and fought again. Finally, they killed 40,000 rebels and captured the 40 leaders of the thieves, which was a great achievement. Now all the thieves have gathered together.
They brazenly sent out troops to invade our territory in the Song Dynasty. Although the thieves were powerful, the military towns in Yongqiu and even several nearby cities and towns are now well-stocked with food and fodder, enough for military needs. We, the various ministries under the command of the capital of Gyeonggi Province, are able to unite as one, coordinate with each other, and resist
The enemy is bound to be able to defeat the bandit army, and I hope that you all will do your best and follow my instructions to fight the battle without making any mistakes, so as to live up to the great trust of the country."
However, Liu Qi also knew very well that there would be a tough battle ahead. Now that a heavy defense line had been set up in the Yongqiu area, the Qi army would surely suffer heavy casualties if they attacked rashly.
Especially among the brave generals who are now obeying orders, among the staff, there is also Chen Gui, a think tank who was once a privy scholar, to help repair the county city and buy grain and wheat to replenish the warehouse. This Chen Gui's "City Guarding Record" written by Chen Yuanze focuses on recording the defense of the city.
When deploying troops, the city must be focused on the city and the city must be defended. During the defense, there must be offensive and other defensive tactics. In addition, during the normal season, Chen Gui has also developed a long bamboo pole as a tube. Put the gunpowder in the bamboo tube and ignite it from the tail to the back, and the burning gunpowder will
Tubular firearms that can spray out to kill enemies several feet away, Liu Qi also decided to select and train sergeants, with a total of more than hundreds of long bamboo pole muskets to coordinate the defense of the city wall. Therefore, according to Liu Qi's thinking, now he and Chen Gui, a pair of civil servants
The military generals worked together to set up a tight defense line, and then adapted to the situation, using tactics such as luring the enemy deep and cutting off the enemy's food routes to consume the enemy's effective strength, and it was possible to defeat the main force of the Qi army...
Until the Qi Dynasty's army approached the Yongqiu city wall, Liu Qi, with clanging armor, climbed to the top of the city in person to watch the movements of the enemy troops outside the city. He was like an unsheathed sword and dazzled by the cold, already ready for a big fight.
In addition to being transferred to one place to cooperate during these days, Chen Gui, an able minister who complemented Liu Qi in running the army and defending the city, as well as general judge Wang Ruohai, generals Yan Chong, Lei Zhong, Zhao Zun, Geng Xun, Han Zhi, Xu Qing (official history Liu Qi)
After Qi died of illness, an ancestral hall was built on the northwest wall of Fucheng to honor his merits. The names of the staff and generals under Liu Qi's account who accompanied him in the attack on Shunchang were also recorded, and painted statues were installed in the shrines to be enshrined.
) and other generals and assistants from all the departments of the Gyeonggi Capital Command climbed to the top of the city and stood ready.
Already ready for a bloody battle with the invading Qi army, Liu Qi looked solemnly as he looked towards the majestic Qi army formation outside the city. He saw that the enemy troops had set up camps everywhere as far as he could see.
It seemed to be completely covered by the densely packed Qi army camps. Looking towards the center of the enemy's formation, one could vaguely see the handsome Xiao flag fluttering in the strong wind.
"After a quick inspection, the commander who commanded the invading army of Qi thieves turned out to be Mr. Xiao Jiasui and Xiao. The front troops of the enemy army advanced in unstoppable force. The two commanders, Hua Rong and Hu Yanzhuo, who commanded the troops and horses, and
We were also old acquaintances who once trusted each other with our lives..."
Liu Qi sighed and said that he felt something in his heart and had mixed feelings. He had gotten acquainted with Xiao Tang in Bianliang, Tokyo, and they had a good temperament. As Xiao Tang's confidant and think tank, Liu Qi and Xiao Jiasui already had a deep friendship. And Hua
Rong and Bian Ting of the West Territory frightened the Xia army with their superb riding and archery skills, so that no one dared to move forward. Hu Yanzhuo led a chain of horses and heavy cavalry to attack the Xia Kingdom Jin Wang Cha Ge's formation... He was originally a general of the Song Dynasty, and all of them were
His comrade Pao Ze, who once obeyed the orders of Xiao Tang to lead the expedition and fought against the Xia army, now had no choice but to become his master's rival. When Liu Qi thought about the past, he couldn't help but sigh and sigh, but he quickly calmed down.
Coming, he looked around the Qi army's camp layout outside the city with a focused look. Suddenly, he felt something strange. It seemed that the opponent's formation and deployment had other tricks, and it seemed that he had no intention of rushing to attack Yongqiu...
Chen Gui, the privy scholar who climbed up the city tower with Liu Qi to observe the deployment of the Qi army outside the city, looked at it for a moment. His expression suddenly changed, and he immediately reported to Liu Qi: "General Liu, although our army has already pressed down on the city wall tower.
With the system of oars, the siege and defense forces are deployed to inspect the city's defenses, and the battle-experienced divisions of the Dutong Division are fully organized and equipped with all kinds of defensive equipment. With a dangerous support, they will definitely be able to severely defeat the thieves who attempt to seize the city by force.
Troops... But when I observed the enemy's formation, I didn't see the bandit's fine slinging artillery displayed in front of the formation. The countermeasures I set up before were really difficult to achieve...
The traitor army seems not to be eager to storm the city, but to set up camps on three sides to defend it. It seems that they intend to encircle but not attack, cutting off the connection between our army and the other state capitals... The traitor army will not take the initiative.
To attack, it is necessary to contain the troops and horses of the Dutong Division... It must be to encourage the rest of the enemy troops to continue marching north and attack Bianjing directly!"
