Under the hill, Wanyan Agu stood on horseback on the dark hillside. In front of his eyes, torches flowed northward like a river. The river of torches composed of hundreds of thousands of troops was still spectacular. Thinking back to that time, Wanyan
When Aguda raised his army, he had only a thousand Jurchen cavalry. He never thought that one day he would have an army of hundreds of thousands and have such huge troops and horses. If Wanyan Aguda had so many soldiers and horses at that time, it would be a dream.
Also laugh out loud.
However, at this moment, Wanyan Aguda, riding his horse and standing under the starlight, was in an extremely low and gloomy mood. That was because he once had an army three times more than the number of soldiers and horses in front of him, which would be called overwhelming like the endless army on Changbai Mountain.
The forest is like a dark cloud covering the wasteland. He led hundreds of thousands of troops southward and swept across the northern land of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He once thought that he could obtain the splendid land of the Great Zhou Dynasty without any effort. But in recent times,
In two months, he experienced a series of nightmare-like blows. This series of blows shattered his dreams and forced him to make a new decision.
Although the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in front of him were still huge in number, they were no longer enough to complete the great cause in his heart. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to make a wise choice.
Yesterday evening, he received the news he least wanted to hear. His 60,000 elite cavalry were led by his two most trusted and respected right-hand men, Yalu Buhua and Alibai, plus a group of Lu Zhongtian.
Thousands of cavalrymen. A total of 70,000 elite cavalrymen were killed at Fangcheng Pass.
Yarubuhua and Alibai were hiding in the mountains, with only a few thousand defeated soldiers left under their command. They had no choice but to use Haidongqing to send a message, narrating the battle and requesting that they rescue them.
The moment he received the news, Wanyan Agu was so excited that he almost spurted blood. He could not figure out why the 70,000-strong army was trapped at the Fangcheng Mountain Pass. The defeated generals of the Northwestern Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty actually came from the distant Taiyuan Prefecture.
He rushed to the Fangcheng Mountain Pass and completed the final blow. Wanyan Aguda couldn't believe that the news was true. If Hai Dongqing hadn't sent a letter written by Ali Bai and Yalu Buhua, he would have even
Thought this was a big joke.
After scolding Yalu Buhua and Ali Bai for their incompetence, Wanyan Aguda finally realized where the problem was. It all originated from the letter from Lin Jue that he had intercepted. That letter
It was a bait. Now think about it, it was a letter with such obvious flaws, and so many obvious baits, but I happened to take the bait. I was tricked by Lin Jue, or in fact, I took the bait voluntarily.
. Lin Jue used a straight hook to fish, and he actually took the bait. This was simply unbelievable. What did he think at the time? How could he be fooled like this? It was so stupid.
Wanyan Aguda remembered what Li Guochou said back then. At that time, he dismissed his words and even ridiculed him. Thinking about it now, Li Guochou's words were completely correct. Not only was he not as good as Lin Jue, he was even inferior to Li Guochou.
It's better to think that you are talented and resourceful, but in fact, that's all you think you are. In fact, you are just an ordinary person, even better than ordinary people.
People are even more stupid fools. Realizing this, Wanyan Agu felt even greater loss and pain. This loss and pain was even worse than the annihilation of his 70,000-strong army. That was tantamount to revealing a fact,
In fact, I am not the chosen one, I am just a self-righteous fool. This is such a terrible fact.
Of course, Wanyan Aguda could never admit that he had been deceived. When he summoned the generals to tell them the bad news, Wanyan Aguda decisively passed the responsibility to his two good brothers. Yalu Buhua and Ali Baiye
It is indeed impossible to clear themselves. First of all, it is incredible that their 70,000-strong army failed to take the pass before the opponent's reinforcements arrived. Then they realized that the opponent had set up an ambush and abandoned their mounts, which was even more stupid.
Unparalleled. It was said that the purpose was to preserve the troops and lead the army out of danger as soon as possible. However, this move directly led to the destruction of the entire army. This is irrefutable.
All the Jurchen generals were so shocked that they almost dropped their jaws after learning the news. Such a result was something they had never expected. The big leader blamed the incompetence of Yarubuhua and Alibai, which they certainly thought was inevitable.
.Because their leader did not tell them the whole truth. What Wanyan Agu told the generals was not that the Luoyan army had set up an ambush in advance, but that in order to rescue Lin Jue and others who were trapped on the ten-mile long hill, Luoyan, who was left behind in Funiu Mountain,
The army took the initiative and met Yarubuhua and Alibai at the Fangcheng Mountain Pass. This was actually an encounter. Yarubuhua and Alibai could have eaten each other with superior strength, but they failed to do so.
At one point, he made frequent mistakes and was annihilated by the other party. According to this argument, who else could be responsible if it wasn't Yarubuhua and Alibai?
Wanyan Aguda used lies to cover up his stupidity. He knew that once his generals knew the truth, his image as a wise and mighty person and the chosen one sent by the Immortal Heaven to rule the world would completely collapse, and he would be completely lost.
All the hard work.
Yarubuhua and Alibai's letter expected the chief to send troops to rescue, which is absolutely impossible. Even if there were no other considerations, from a purely military perspective, Wanyan Aguda would not be able to send another army.
Go to the rescue. Judging from the descriptions in Yalu Buhua and Ali Bai's letter, there are currently 60,000 to 70,000 troops from the Luoyan Army and the Northwest Army gathered in the Fangcheng Mountain area. This cannot be solved by just sending tens of thousands of troops.
Moreover, once Yarubuhua and Alibai come back alive, it will be impossible for the lies they have spun to be exposed to the world. Although these two are his right-hand men and have been his brothers for many years, at this moment they are completely
It is absolutely impossible for Yan Agu to rescue them. They cannot be saved militarily and cannot be saved in terms of interests. There is only one way for these two good brothers, and that is to die there. There is no other choice.
The problem before Wanyan Aguda is extremely serious. The failures of Yarubuhua and Alibai have led to extremely serious consequences. The 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers and horses assembled by the opponent will definitely come after the victory. Now they are under siege.
There are only 180,000 soldiers and horses on the hill. Once the opponent's reinforcements arrive, the strength of the troops will be almost the same. Moreover, the opponent has terrifying firearms and has higher combat effectiveness. Once the inside and outside cooperate to launch a large-scale war, they will automatically
He has no chance of winning. Lu Zhongtian does have some soldiers and horses in his hands, but Lu Zhongtian is unreliable. From his excuse to withdraw his troops back to Bianliang, it can be seen that this old fox is completely unreliable. With his own soldiers and horses, he can win this battle.
How many soldiers and horses will you have left in the end after such a big battle? If your strength is greatly weakened, the consequences will be catastrophic. The destruction of your ambitions is the second best, and you will not be able to gain a foothold in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
What's even more frightening is that once his own strength weakens, he will be unable to control the Liao Kingdom. The shortcomings of his eagerness to attack the Zhou Dynasty will become apparent. When his troops are strong, the Liao people will naturally be obedient and willing to be their allies, and will bring a large number of
They provide themselves with manpower and material resources because they do not want to offend themselves and do not want to subjugate their country. And it is precisely by using their last hope that they can kidnap them and use up all their manpower and material resources as a support base for their move south.
In fact, all the power that I had before came from having powerful soldiers and horses. Once this point is lost, everything will be in vain. It’s okay that the Zhou Dynasty cannot gain a foothold, and the Northern Territory will not be able to gain a foothold either.
People will destroy themselves without mercy, this is absolutely certain.
Therefore, at this moment, Wanyan Aguda must make a difficult choice. Either fight to the death, or give up his dream of dominating the world, settle for the next best thing, and preserve his strength. In fact, the reason why this decision is difficult is more
Or because of the inner struggle, anyone with a little bit of intelligence knows how to make a choice. Withdrawing the troops and preserving their current strength, under the current situation, they can still prevent the Liao people from turning their backs, and they can also rely on nearly twenty
A large army of ten thousand occupies the territory northeast of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Then we will see how the situation develops and then decide how to reverse the situation. Stabilize the current trend of decline and stabilize the morale and morale of the army, and there will be another chance.
Of course, Wanyan Aguda chose to withdraw his troops, and he did so without hesitation and withdrew his troops immediately. He ordered the generals to secretly prepare to break camp after dark, and to evacuate quickly at the same time after the third watch. The army quickly gathered and headed north without doing anything.
Even if the Luoyan Army on the hill knew about it, they would have no time to stop it. In fact, they were powerless to stop it.
Wanyan Agu, who was riding a horse and standing on the hill, looked gloomy and in a low mood. But what was gratifying was that his withdrawal plan was not hindered in any way. The Luoyan Army did not make any pursuit movements. Wanyan Agu looked back and couldn't believe it.
The hills in the distance were not tall and steep, but after being trapped for more than a month, I finally couldn't capture them. Wanyan Agu knew that it was entirely because there was a man named Lin Jue on the hills.
This man is just like this hill. He seems to have no sharp edge and can be easily conquered. But under his frail appearance, he hides the ferocious power of a lion, the cunning wisdom of a fox and the depth of a deep pool.
Generally bottomless ability.
"Lin Jue, Lin Jue, all this is thanks to you. Don't worry, our competition is not over yet. You have won one game, but we don't know who the final winner is yet."
Wanyan Aguda thought coldly in his heart. He suddenly shouted loudly, whipped his horse and rushed down the mountain. The horse merged into the torrent of rolling torches and headed north.
