Originally, when Yelu Chongyuan left Tiande City, he ordered that all the materials in the city be burned, but after Yelu Chongyuan fled in a hurry, the guards in the city did not act according to Yelu Chongyuan's orders, and the generals who defended the city were not fools, and there was no so-called loyal and patriotic thought in this era, he knew that once all the materials were burned, he would not be far from death.
Tiande City is the capital of the capital.
Li Yi took the list of seizures and reported loudly to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, a total of more than 1,000 enemy soldiers were captured in Tiande City, and 20,000 stones of grain and grass, 30,000 sets of armor, countless weapons, 20,000 cattle and sheep, and ten siege vehicles. ” "I didn't expect that this huge Tiande City only has this little material, especially the grain and grass is only 1.2 million catties, and one stone is equal to about 60 catties during the Song Dynasty, which is not enough for my 40,000 army for half a month," Li Liangzuo pouted and said.
"Your Majesty, this Tiande City is too far away from the hinterland of Liao, and the grain harvest of Liaoguo last year failed, otherwise I wouldn't have been eager to come to my country to fight grass valleys in winter."
Li Yi said to Li Liangzuo.
"Well, now, they didn't hit my grass valley, but let me rob them; Li Yi ordered the forward general to lead 5,000 elite cavalry to pursue Yelu Chongyuan overnight, this time I wanted to let the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State see that I was not so easy to bully.
Li Liangzuo said with an angry face.
"Yes, the last general commands" After Li Liangzuo's army rested in Tiande City for a night, he left some soldiers and horses to defend the city, and at dawn they went all the way south to pursue Yelu Chongyuan, who was fleeing to Heqing City, which was more than 300 miles away from Tiande City.
In Heqing City, Yelu Chongyuan had just returned to the city when he received a report from the sentry cavalry, saying that the Xia army had come to the city, and Yelu Chongyuan was furious when he heard the news; "There is such a bully, all the way to chase and kill, and even let the king breathe, after the king gathers the army, he has to peel Li Liangzuo Xiaoer and cramp."
"King, now that the Xia army has come to the city, we still have to ask the king to decide where our army should go."
The adjutant general asked Yelu Chongyuan.
"How many soldiers, horses, and grain and grass are there in Heqing City now," Yelu Chongyuan asked.
"There are still 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city, but most of these 5,000 soldiers and horses are old and weak, and they are mainly foot soldiers, and the horse army is no more than a thousand horses, and the grain and grass are enough for a month."
"The city of Heqing City is high and deep, and five thousand soldiers and horses are enough to resist the Xia army for a while.
In addition, you sent people with the king's talisman to Yongbyon, Shuozhou, Wuzhou and Xijing Datong to send troops to the rescue.
Yelu Chongyuan took out the talisman and ordered decisively.
"Yes, the last general commands" At this time, Li Liangzuo was leading 35,000 iron horsemen to step on the ice from the Yellow River, the Yellow River has a freezing period every winter, especially in this era, the ice of the Yellow River can reach two or three meters thick, and it is simply trivial for people and horses to cross the river.
Not long after Li Liangzuo led his army across the river, a sentry came to report, "Your Majesty, Yelu Chongyuan has fled into Heqing City, and our army has surrounded Heqing City." ” "Order, the army marched at full speed to Heqing City."
Li Liangzuo ordered loudly.
At noon, Li Liangzuo came to the city of Heqing, and Li Yi reported to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, according to the report of the spies, there are 5,000 defenders in the city with sufficient food, grass and weapons, and Yelu Chongyuan has asked for help from the rear, and the Liao reinforcements will arrive in less than two days." ” "The herald ordered the army to camp ten miles outside the city, and the flying cavalry ordered Qu Ye to guard the army to come to reinforcements without hiding Tushan."
Li Liangzuo decisively issued a military order.
A day later, Li Liangzuo's Chinese army tent, messy everywhere Li Liangzuo sat alone on the handsome chair, Li Yi entered the tent and said to Li Liangzuo cautiously: "Your Majesty, the sentry cavalry reported that the Jinsu reinforcements of the Liao State have been fifty miles away, and the Liao State Xijing stayed in Yeluren to lead 50,000 troops first, and the Shuozhou guard Xiao Yuanshan led 30,000 troops to cross the ancient Great Wall. ” "I know."
Li Liangzuo closed his eyes and said.
Li Yi walked to the door of the big tent and returned and said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Tushan refused to send troops to help, and he also wanted to conspire with the minister of the country to usurp power and stand on his own. ” "Li Yi, beat the drum to gather the soldiers of the three armies."
Li Liangzuo took a deep breath and said.
It turned out that Li Liangzuo ordered the garrison in Quye to lead a large army to help, but Tushan refused to send troops on the grounds that the Song army reinforced the frontier; Qu Ye has an army of 50,000, these 50,000 soldiers and horses can be said to be the private army of the Wuzang family, since Wuzang Pang was in charge of the Western Xia Dynasty, in addition to mastering the soldiers and horses stationed in Xingqing Mansion, he also controlled the 50,000 army outside, and the soldiers and horses of Xingqing Mansion are different, these 50,000 troops are completely in the hands of the Wuzang family.
"Knock, knock, knock" accompanied by the rumbling war drums, 40,000 Xia soldiers were assembled in the school field, Li Liangzuo stood on the school platform and said loudly to all the soldiers: "Soldiers, I heard that there have been a lot of rumors in the military camp recently, as for who spread it, I don't want to know, but I want to tell you today that you are my soldiers of the Great Xia Kingdom, and you are my soldiers; Since you went out with me, I am very pleased after the great war, your exploits are remembered in my heart, and the people of the Great Xia Kingdom are remembered in my heart, do you still remember the great war more than ten years ago The Liao army's iron cavalry fought all the way to the city of Xingqing Mansion, how many of your brothers and sisters, parents, wives and children were killed under the butcher's knife of the Liao army, you touched your conscience and said, should you avenge your dead relatives?"
"Revenge, revenge, revenge" Under Li Liangzuo's great sensation, the 40,000 Xia army soldiers were enthusiastic and their morale was greatly boosted, Li Liangzuo pulled out his war knife and pointed to the east and said: "Brothers, there is a Liao army reinforcement arriving fifty miles to the east, what do you say we should do?"
"Kill them, kill them" "Well said, send the army to the battle" Facing the tiger and wolf division of the 40,000 Xia army, the 10,000 Jinsu soldiers and horses who came to increase the number were all wiped out in just one hour, Li Liangzuo immediately sent someone to pretend to be a defeated soldier of Jinsu to open the gate of Jinsu City, and in less than half an hour, Jinsu City fell into the hands of Li Liangzuo, and all the grain, grass, weapons and other materials in Jinsu City fell into the hands of the Xia army.
At the same time, in the area north of Yinshan, Ji La Siyi led 30,000 iron cavalry to sweep through the Bai Dadan Division, Xiao Dadan was defeated and killed, all the adult men of the Bai Dadan Department were slaughtered, and the remaining more than 100,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep became the trophies of the Xia army.
"General, our army has won a complete victory in this battle, and the general will be powerful from now on."
The lieutenant slapped his ass.
Ji Spicy said solemnly: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's strategy, how could we wait for today's victory, the generals will be happy at the end, and the general will not spare the major events of His Majesty." ” "Yes, the Admiral understands."
"General Ben has received news that His Majesty has captured the two cities of Tiande and Jinsu, and Yelu Chongyuan is besieged in Heqing City, and His Majesty has ordered us to capture Yunnei, Dongsheng and other places, and threaten Liao reinforcements from Datong and Shuozhou from the flank."
Ji Spicy walked to the map and pointed to it.
"Your Majesty's wisdom, the generals are now in Yunnei, Dongsheng and Fengzhou, and the soldiers and horses in the three places have been emptied by Yelu Chongyuan before, and these three places are not more than thousands, and it is a good time for the official general to make contributions," the deputy general said with emotion
